It might have come to pass, in time, without the assistance of The Review to point out the opportunity and the methods of developing it — but take the case of St. Valentine's day. An Old Day Made New. Read up on St. Valen- tine's day and you will find its origin lost in the mists of antiquity. Since time immemorial i t has been the day on which brave men have sent fair ladies fond tokens. But for how long has the day held any general importance for florists? Just one year; this is the second. Look back to Jan- uary 30, 1913, when The Review pub- lished a St. Valentine's Day Number in which it was conspicuously stated — "The purpose of this issue is to get 10,000 florists each to do at least a little something to attract the attention of the public io the appropriateness of flowers for use as valentines." That was the real beginning of St. Valentine s day from a florists ' flower "The purpose of this issue is to get 10,000 florists eaoh to do at least a little something to attract the attention of the public to the appro- priat»nfess of flowers for use as valentines." selling point of view. That issue of The Re- view pointed out an- other opportunity — and showed how to take ad- vantage of it. It illus- trated the methods by which the few retailers who had tried to do something with the day had made two dollars come in where only one dollar came in before, and it showed pictures of the corsage bou- quets and the packages that had proved ready sellers. Perhaps the last year's St. Valen- tine's Number of The Review fell short of its purpose to get 10,OpO flo- rists to push flowers for use as valen- tines, but the results reall^^were sur- prising. Literally thousands took up the work and the way St. Valentine's day sales Jumped is matter 6f common knowledge. This year everybody is advertising St. Valentine's day. If the markets ease up a bit, so flowers can be offered at reasonable prices, sales will double, for it has been demonstrated that, as The Review said in its St. Valentine's Day Number, "all the public needu is the suggestion to send flowers. '/ Each Helps the Other. Adv^ertising is of two kinds,\one kind designed to enable) the advertiser to in- crease his share of the busi- ness resulting from an es- tablished demand, and an- other kind designed to awaken additional demand. Of course the florist who buys newspaper space does so with the idea of increas- ing his own individual sales, but advertising the appropriateness of flowers for use as valentines has the effect of stimulating business for all dealers in flowers— Everyone in the trade reaps a benefit. The more florists advertise val- entine flowers the better it is for all florists. Once im- press the well-to-do public with the fact that flowers afford a vehicle for the ex- pression of sentiment that opens to the grown-ups the pleasures childhood finds in the exchange of the highly colored crimped paper con- traptions and each retailer then will find a profitable opportunity to exploit the quality of his individual stock and service.

Jf the sum of money you are prepared to spend will buy sufficient space, we should recom- mend daily advertising. However, it seems likely that the sum you mention would purchase only an inconspicuous card for daily publication. Conse- quently it would be advisable to ap- pear less frequently, but none the less regularly. We know little of the conditions in your location, but our idea of the town and newspapers there is that $5 would make an extremely small showing if devoted to one issue. It seems to us that it would be your best plan to ad- vertise only once a month, or before each special flower day, putting all your expenditure into one or two spe- cially seasonable issues and thereby get- tmg a big enough space so that every- body who reads the best paper in your town must see your advertisement. Give St. Valentine's day a boost. Then lav off until Easter. After that wait until Mothers' day. Then give Decoration day a showing. If you are not a good writer of acjvertising, get someone who is proficient to plan your ads for you — it makes a lot of difference what is said and how it is said. A ST. VALENTINE'S DAY WINDOW. Horace E. Hughes, the Chicago flo- rist, has an especially attractive win- dow display for St. Valentine's day. But inasmuch as the decoration is a subtle creation of movement and color. the accompanying illustration only partly conveys its real beauty. It is one of those things that must b^ seen to be appreciated. The goddess of love, dressed in ;i filmy white gowns, with a golden, star- set crown and silver wings, rides in a silver chariot outlined by various t'olored,'minute electric lights. Twenty- six brilliant, spotted butterflies, kept in constant motion by concealed elec- tric fans, are in the act of sailing the god(|ess over a large goldfish pond, which is artistically arranged in the floor of the window. The chariot is laden with the Hughes valentine boxes, which Mr. Hughes designed. It is a mediocre imagination indeed that can- not picture the fair goddess raising her magic wand and tightening the ribbons on her dashing butterflies, as she drops a box of flowers at the door of every sweetheart. Mr. Hughes has a frontage ou Van Buren street :n I \ •■ I I I- M 1 _; I i.-i I . I fill I I \ ~ li I i-i' n I 'I In h ~ I M Mil :\ ii II 111 I M'l 111 lliii I ■-! ■- III :i ruin iiiilliit\.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. Shading. Cattleyas and Isplias are better with full suftiieht for some weeks yet. Never mind if ^ey turn a little pale in color; they will grow and flower better than such as are kept in shade all the time. Give Miltonia vexillaria and odontoglos- sums the full sun until March 1, when a little shade may he necessary. Cypripediunis need a little shade, and phala?nopsis should never be exposed to bright sunshine, they being the most susceptible of orchids in this respect. Where orchids can be fitted with cloth or lath shades, and these can be re- moved during cloudy and dark weather, the plants have a wonderful advantage over those grown under glass Jj'hich in summer is heavily coated with kero- sene and lead or even lime wash, but it costs money to put up these shades, and they are a little beyond the purses of commercial growers. Sponging. There is comparatively little time for sponging in summer and, there- fore, every plant should, if possible, be overhauled between now and the end of March. With many plants this will be a simple task. Cattleyas, if infested with scale, should have bulbs, as well as leaves, well washed with some soap solution, and stiff brushes are usually necessary to clean the scale oflE properly. It takes considerable time to clean cypripediums off properly, but it will pay to do it. During bad weather it may be possible to put one or two extra hands cleaning these. Smart boys and girls do the work just as well as men. Overhead watering needs to be done with great care in midwinter, but even at this season there are days when a light spraying is advantageous. Cat- tleyas and laelias, if sprayed over about 9 a. m. on clear days, will be dried off before nightfall. Odontoglossums, cym- bidiums and dendrobes, except those \n flower, are all benefited by an occa- sional damping over. Dendrobes with nodes small should have a spray each fine day to assist development of the nodes. Fumigation. Orchids are less troubled with insect -pests than many other plants. Scale can be controlled by spraying with Aphine or fir tree oil, but a fumigation once in eight or ten days will be a great help, using some nicotine extract evaporated ever A<^ood alcohol lamps, or, if steam is used, it can be painted on the pipes and a small quantity will give an atmosphere strong enough to kill, aphis, also thripSj unless the attack is a bad one. 'A heavy dose will kill mealy bug. Cattleya flies on the wing aVe killed by these fumigation? also, al- though cutting out infested growths as soon as noticed is the most certain, if radical, cure foi^ the latter. Odontoglos- sums, masdevalUas and Miltonia vexil- laria will not stand heavy fumigations, and hydrocyanih acid gas, safe though it is to use ainong many apparently susceptible plants, will seriously damage even the hardy looking* cattleyas and should never be used in an orchid hotise. . * i' WILL NOT FUMIGATE ORCHIDS. Importers of orchid plants are brieathing easier: The federal horticul- tural board gives indication of aban- doning its idea of quarantining or otherwise attempting to repel the in- vasion of the cattleya fly. There has, of late, been much com- plaint of the devastations of the cat- tleya fly, and these complaints have come to the attention of the board charged with the duty of administer- ing the federal horticultural quaran- tine law. The board, after giving the matter only slight consideration, told some of the importers of orchid plants that it seemed in line to prevent the importation of the cattleya fly either by prohibiting the importation of the plants except when accompanied by the regulation certificate of inspection, or by subjecting the plants to fumigation at the port of entry. The importers were prompt to point out that certifica- • tion is impossible, because the countries from which orchid plants are imported are ^mong the least advanced, and. with few exceptions, maintain no hor- ticultural inspection; also that it is almost impossible to detect the pres- ejwie of the cattleya fly by the inspec- tion of the plants in the-oimdition in which they are imporifed. Tah import- ers said that they^^-wDuld much, rather havaiy^ importation of the plants pro- hibvci^Khan to have the stock fumi- gated af\^the port of entry — they pre- ferred to be put out of business before they had spent their money for stock, since fumigation would amount to prac- tical destruction. The importers also pointed out that the quarantine law is supposed to be for the purpose of preventing the in- troduction of any plant pests not now prevalent in the United. States — and they emphasized the fact that practi- cally every orchid establishment al' ready has the cattleya fly. They said the law does not fit the case. So strongly do the importers voice their protestations that the federal hor- ticultural board, after further consid- eration, has about concluded that it will not undertake to quarantine against the cattleya fly or to regulate the importation of orchids, except that the usual permit for the importation of nursery stock will be required, and an eye will be kept on the importa- tions. DISEASED OEAaNIUM FOLIAGE. I am enclosing a few samples of gera- nium leaves which are affected with some sort of disease. Will you kindly advise me of its cause and the remedy for it? The disease is rather generally distributed throughout the geraniums, except in the stock plants. They are now in 3-inch pots and seem stunted from the effects of this leaf-drying. They are in a well lighted house, which, owing to general causes, cannot be heated higher than 52 degrees in cold weather, and o|i this account they are kept on the dry side. This trouble has never appeared before this year, either in the field or bench, and thfe soil is of the same grade as that used in previous years. It is rather light, with manure and a small amount of bone meal for the second potting. The first sign of the disease appeared after the plants were potted up in 2 1^ -inch pots from the cutting bench, in soil without manure. F. L. G. It may be that your trouble arose from keeping the cuttings a little too long in the sand. This is frequently the cause of stem-rot and various leaf dis- eases not only of geraniums but of a number of other plants. It is possible that the soil without manure used at the first potting may have been too poor, and that pure starvation caused the plants to "become stunted and the foliage to be lost. Geraniums make a rank growth if much manure is used in the soil, and fine bone is a safe substitute for animal manures, as it promotes a stocky, short-jointed plant which will flower well. Some fine, old, well screenbd manure added to the soil at the second potting is of riiaterial benefit to the plants, while just a little at the initial potting will put a little life into them. A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees is ample for geraniums. They like a dry atmosphere and plenty of sun and fresh air. All you can do with your worst af- fected plants is to throw them away. Those left may be found to need a little more plant food to color them up. Ap- ply this in the form of a top-dressing rather than in liquid form, v^ C W. FBBBtJART 5, 1914. The Florists^ Review 19 tHE CLEVELAND CONVENTION AFTERMATH OF THE CARNATION GROWERS' EXHIBITION The Review told the story of the meetins: so com- pletely last week that little remains to be said |N his address at the open- ing of the Cleveland con- vention, printed in full in last week's issue of The Review, President Brown threw out a number of sug- gestions with regard to the individual work of the members in producing and marketing their crops, as well as to the work of the society. The address was referred to a committee consisting ■of S. J. Goddard, Wrii. Nicholson and W. N. Kudd, which later submitted the following well-worth-reading report: "We feel that the taking of an act- ive executive part in the exploiting and management of a strictly local exhibition, by this society, is likely to lead to seri- ous complications in the future. On the other hand it is the duty of the society to encourage in all feasibleJ'^ways the public exhibition of the carnffiion every- where. For these . reasons your com- mittee does not. favor the award of a cup or other trophy of large value at the New York exhibition, as creating a precedent for similar demands from ■ other parts of the country in future, which demands could hardly be met. Your committee recommends that one silver and one bronze medal be offered for competition at the New York ex- hibition and that the society, when proper application is made, offer sim- ilar medals at other exhibitions where it is shown that such exhibitions are of sufficient importance to warrant such offer. ' ' The question of the color^ine in the pink classes having been set ;for special discussion need not be considered by this committee except that your com- mittee would recommend, no matter what color divisions may be ado|)ted, that the judges be authorized, at any time when convinced that a mistake has been made in any entry in the pink classes, to transfer the exhibit wrongly entered to the proper division of the pink class and to consider it therein without prejudice, the same as though it had been originally so entered, "It seems to your committee that slumps or gluts in the market are oc- casional but inevitable conditions to be met in growing and marketing perish- able crops. It might be well to sug- gest to the grower the advisability of more strictly and carefully grading and culling his product at such times. "We believe that the marketing of carnations carefully packed in boxes is to be recommended for the better grades and in markets which will ac- cept flowers so packed. "We doubt that carnations are losing either in fragrance or keeping quali- ties. It is true that some varieties are more fragrant than others — this has al- ways been the case. It is certainly true that flowers produced during the comparatively sunless winter months will never be so fragrant as in late spring or early summer, when the sun is approaching its maximum in intens- ity of effect, "Your committee feels that the de- terioration which occurs in carnations is largely due to bad or overintensive cul- tivation and especially to improper methods in the selection of cuttings and their ^.handling. We believe it quite possible to build a variety up by care- ful cultivation and especially by con- tinued intelligent and careful selection in propagating. "It is surely to be regretted that more of the men interested in the grow- ing and sale of carnations have not be- come members of this society. Other societies perhaps are making no better, if as good a showing. We feel that there is no way of largely increasing our membership except by the slow and sure way, through the active and con- tinuous efforts of our members with their individual friends and acquaint- ances. "Your committee is hardly inclined to admit that we have exhausted the possibilities of development in the car- nation in any direction, even in size." The report was adopted by the so- ciety, the recommendation with regard to permitting the judges to transfer to its proper section any exhibit wrongly entered in the pink classes being ex- tended to apply to any color or class. The Best Keeper. With the idea of encouraging the ex- hibitors to try for keeping quality, Fred Burki offered a prize of $10 to be awarded at the close of the show to the vase of flowers that liad stood in best condition. One of the judges remarked, early in the show, that the award would go to Pink Delight, "everybody knew that before we came here," and it did — to the Pink Delight with which Pres- ident-elect Goddard won first prize in the class for 100 flesh pink. Another judge said afterward that all five of the vases of blooms considered by the judges were Mr. Goddard 's. It was apparent that some of the ex- hibitors, having- the Burki prize in mind, had cut their flowers underdone and there was some criticism on the floor of the convention because the judges had made awards to these flow- ers over fully developed blooms. Peter Fishei:, F. A. Friedley, F. H, Lemon, W. N. Rudd, A. F. J. Baur, A. J. Gutt- man, E. G. Gillett, K. A. Stroud, Eu- gene Dailledouze and others gave their views. Some of the speakers seemed to think half open flowers were not entitled to award, while others inclined to the belief that the judges were jus- tified if they considered an exhibitor's underdone blooms better than the other fellow's fully developed flowers, E. A, Stroud suggested that better judging might be had if the full board of six judges passed on each class, instead of working in threes, as has been the cus- tom. W. N. Eudd disagreed with this, asserting that the larger the board the less the sense of individual responsi- bility for the result. Eugene Daille- douze thought the judging would be better if the rule about clearing the hall were more rigidly enforced, so it was put on record that hereafter even the newspaper men are to be barred while the judges are at work. Carrying Plants a Second Tear, In the discussion of A. T. Pyfer's paper, led by Peter Fisher and Joseph H. Hill, it was the consensus of opin- ion that it does not pay to carry carna- tion plants a second year. Mr. Pyfer had not recommended it, except in spe- cial cases. C. S. Strout said it paid him, in Maine, where he has a good summer demand, and others mentioned special cases, such as with shy bloomers and varieties that have been kept cut back to produce cuttings, but the general report was that nothing is gained, the quality of the blooms produced in the second year being poor, the plants un- gainly, a prey to disease and a harbor for insects. Mr. Pyfer was given a vote of thanks for his paper. The CJost of Growing. So many members of the American Cannation Society keep careful records of production that the figures of blooms per plant presented in Joseph H. Hill's paper aroused far less comment than did the closing paragraph, in which he at- tempted to set forth briefly the cost of producing the cut. It developed that a great many of the members had under- taken to ascertain what a flower costs, but that they had failed to Secure any- thing more valuable than niental exer- cise. President Brown undertook to get discussion on the essays read by appointing members to start the talk. To lead the discussion on Mr. Hill's pa- per he designated W, N. Rudd and S. J. Goddard. Mr. Rudd asked to be ex- cused, but Mr. Brown insisted, so Mr. Rudd responded with a general declara- tion of the futility of the average cost record; he declared them to be value- less except in rare instances because flower growing ever is an art and never can become a science, figures of cost never being alike for any two years. He commended records of production as showing the relative blooming qualities of varieties, but ^g^wixthat insofar as finding what it costs to carry a plant through its life, it never can be done, the best figures never being anything more than an average. Other speakers agreed, Mr, Hill, in explanation, said that carnations exclusively are grown 18 The Florists^ Review i.i;i:llAi;'i I'.H t. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

President Brown added an interesting statement with regard to the record of prices obtained in the New York mar- ket. He said that the price varies widely when the records of a single month are compared through a series of years, but that there is little variation when the ayerage price of carnations for a whole year is considered. He said that he had in his pocket the record of the price received for every flower sold by his establishment for the last seven years, and that in no year had the average been less than 3 cents per bloom, or more than 3^^ cents, the average being approximately 3^4 cents per flower over seven years. His point was that the, grower who produces strictly high grade blooms can count with consider- able certainty upon a definite return. The Retailers and the Society. Sam Seligman started something when he asked what the society pur- poses to do for the retailers — A. Faren- wald was on his feet at once to ask what the retailers purpose to do for the society. Mr. Farenwald said the society has done it about all in the past, the growers doitig about all the publicity work that is" done for flowers through exhibitions. He said the retailers should join the society and then exhibit when- ever they can. He said they now hold aloof from the exhibitions through fear of being beaten. If spirit can be aroused as it is in Cleveland great good will result. He thought it up to the retailers to show the spirit of helpful- ness on a broad scale before asking anything of the society. F. H. Lemoin said the retailers are not using carnations in their best work and that there is a big field for the so- ciety in showing that carnations can be employed where any other flowers are used. He said the society should go on record in commendation of the work of the Cleveland retailers, whose demonstrations of the use of carnations in table and vase work had been the most valuable feature of the show. M. A. Patten commented that the re- tail sales of carnations always jump in the cities visited by the A. C. S. Messrs. iFisher, Johnson, Guttman and iBaur added their views and President Brown closed the discussion by saying that a non-competitive basis appears to be the iy oHe~Qn which the retailers will par- ticipate arid that it probably will be possible toycarry along the work on the lines originVted by the Clevelanders. On motiob of S. S. Pennock the Cleveland retailers were given a vote qjt^€hs,nka for their assistance in mak- ng the shpw. Miscellaneotis Matters. The schedule for the carnation classes at the New York show ih March was read by President Brown. It was decided to recede from the requirement that ex- hibitors there must be members of the A. C. S. The matter of judging was left to the officers and the elected judges, with authority to fill vacancies. A straight galvanized iron vase painted a bottle green was adopted as the official exhibition 'vas? of the so- ciety. Final resolutions, acknowledging cour- tesies, were written by Wm. Nicholson, E. G. Gillett and Joseph H. Hill. The Banquet. The exhibition hall was cleared on the second evening and the annual ban- quet spread on the same tables, the flowers being used for decorations. As ^he society had come uninvited to Cleve- land, each person- paid for his own ticket. It was an innovation that is likely to become the rule o^ the future. Nearly 200 were present. Adam Gra- hamj the Nestor of the Cleveland flo- rists, was toaStmaster. Because of the lateness of the hour at which the speak- ing started, and the wish of many to catch night trains, the speakers talked briefly. Among the dozen called on were H. P. Knoble, R. T. Brown, GeorgeS Asmus, Wm. J. Stewart, Ella Gr&nt Wil^-' son, Charles Gibson, F. H. Lemon, W. F. Kasting and S. J. Goddard. Seedlings and Sports. Peter Fisher 's plants of Gorgeous were nearly all cut down for cuttings. Rose Francis Scott K^y. so he was unable to supply blooms for a retailer "s displaj'. However, on the second day the management, with Mr. Fisher 's consent, gave one of his com- petitive exhibits to Westman & Getz, who made of- it one of the prettiest tables of the ten on display. The three vases entered for the Dor- ner medal were sent as a gift of the society to the McKinley day banquet of the Tippecanoe Club the evening the show closed. The Cleveland Lady Florists' Society gave a reception Wednesday evening, January 28, in the parlors of the Hotel Statler, at whii-h forty-six visiting ladies were guests. There was a fine musical and elocutionary entertainment by club talent and refreshments were served. The affair was directed by Mrs. George W. Smith, president of the society, and was a splendid success. Thursday morn- ing the visiting ladies were taken for an automobile ride about the city. Overheard in a crowd: "Did you ever see that ' Sprinkleproof ' when he wasn't busyl'^ Everybody knows what the inspired compositor, and the proofreader, do to a manuscript, but it really shouldn't be mentioned on the same day with what a night operator does to a flower show reported by wire. The Review got off luckily last week — only two bad breaks. The paragraph that said, the Hadley rose is being disseminated this season had tacked onto it th« first five words from the next paragraph, "for John Mclntyre, of Philadelphia, ' ' which of course completely changed the sense. Mr. Mclntyfe has nothing to do with Hadley, which is being sent out by A. N. Pierson, Inc., for Mr. Montgomery, the raiser. But Mr. Mclntyre sent some excellent lilac to the Cleveland show. Also by the omission of a line of copy, the operator made Mr. Fisher say "he should be selected as the recipient of the first Medal of Merit," when what he really said was that he should be honored in either event were he selected as the recipient of the medal — Mr. Fisher wasn't claiming the medal, only expressing a sense of being honored were it awarded to him either as the raiser of Enchantress or of Beacon. JOHN COOK'S IiAT^lST BOSE. Francis Scott Key is the latest pro- duction of the well known Baltimore :osarian, Joh)i Cook. It is a seedling from Cardinal and an unnamed red seedling also raised by Mr. Cook, who describes Key as a vigorous grov/er, with large red flowers carried on extra long stems. UNPACKING FROZEN SHIPMENTS. Shipments of soft-wooded plants at this season are occasionally received in a frozen condition; not entirely on ac- count of insufficient protection in pack- ing, but owing largely to unforeseen and severe weather changes. When the thermometer suddenly drops below the zero point, as it did recently, plant shipments are liable to suffer while waiting on station plat- forms or during wagon delivery, no matter how carefully packed, and a little judgment in unpacking will in most instances bring the plants out of a frozen condition with little or no injury. The undersigned received during the recent severe spell a shipment which included geraniums of various types, fuchsias, begonias and other soft- wooded subjects from pots, with the ball of earth on practically every plant frozen hard, the frost penetrating even to those in the center of the boxes. Although the shipment looked rather hopeless, the boxes were placed imme- diately in a cool shed, with a tempera- ture just above the freezing point, and allowed to remain forty-eight hours, thawing out gradually. The plants were then unpacked, placed in a slight- ly higher temperature, kept well shaded and were soon in condition to be potted. The loss on the entire shipment did Fkbruary 5, 1914.

Here is a nut for some of you brother florists, which I wish you would crack for me. Last fall the writer got in about 20,000 Paper Whites for winter forcing. I planted about 1,000 right away, and they did finely. Then I placed some of the remaining bulbs in a cold room on board shelving — I should say about half of the lot. The other half were put in a basement on a cement floor. Those I put in our cold room are all planted and all have done well. Then I started planting from the basement, and from the 8,000 to 10,000 bulbs which were stored there we have not had, to date, a single good flower. In fact, the vitality seems gone; they do not make foliage as Papei» Whites generally do, and the flowers come with from two to four bells on each stem and not over eight or ten inches tall. It is.surely a failure. I was priding myself on the good place I have in which to keep my bulbs from growing, as they generally do in storage, but in all my twenty-five years' experience in storing and plant- ing Paper Whites I have never seen the like of this before. The bulbs from the cement floor look as dry and dormant today as when taken out of the boxes last fall. The basement where I put these bulbs is a clean and airy place, with a tem- perature of 45 to 50 degrees. Nothing else is stored there except a few sacks of potatoes, and the bulbs are stored in a dark corner of the basement. The bulbs have all been treated in the same way as regards soil and planting, and after planting tlioy have had the same place in the j;i\ ,'iihouse, from the first planting last fall- untit. now. I have 2,000 or 3,000 more to plant, but I have removed them from the cbment floor to cold storage, where I\ have kept for years with good results. be pleased to hear from other 'of The fteview, if any ^ them have had an experience similar i(>, mine and if they will bfc so good as to 'etate what they believe to be the cause of the trouble. . A. B. FOURTH NATIONAL SHOW. At Philadelphia Two Tears Hence. The location of the fourth national flower show givqn under the auspices of the Society of Apierican Florists was fixed at a meeting at Cleveland Janu- ary 29, when the national flower show committee reorgatiized by the election of George Asmus,* of Chicago, as chair- man to succeed Charles H. Totty, of Madison, N. J. Mr. Asmus will have the general ^i|B^migement of the next show, which will be held at Philadel- phia in the spring of 1916, the exact date to depend upon the ability to se- cure a suitable hall. The big Saenger- fest hall at Broad street and Allegheny avenue will be used, providing the de- tails of the lease can be closed satisfac- torily. It will afford the largest and best hall the S. A. F. has yet used for its show. John Young, secretary of the S. A. F., will continue to act as secretary for the national show committee. Chairman Asmus has appointed the "following working committees to get busy at once: Schedule— C. 11. Totty, Madison, N. J.; A. Farenwald, Roslyn, Pa.; Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass. Hall — A. Farenwald. Roslvn, Pa.; Wm. F. Kasting, Buffalo; W. P. Craig, Philadelphia. Special prizes — W. F. Kastiug, Buf- falo; Theodore Wirth, Minneapolis; W. N. Rudd, Morgan ParU. HI. Publicity— W. N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111.; John Young, New York; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J. Those present at the meeting were Messrs. Totty, Young, Asmus, Kasting, Rudd and Farenwald. The absent mem- bers were Messrs. Roland and Craig. In an official report of the meeting, received since the above was put in type, Secretary Young says: "Mr. Totty was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for the great work he had done as chairman of the committee and for the extremely successful man- ner in which he had arranged for and carried out all the arrangements for the recent successful show held in New York city. "The meeting was most enthusiastic and stirring addresses were made by W. N. Rudd, Wm. F. Kasting, Chas. H. Totty and A. Farenwald, showing that the experience gained in the recent ex- hibitions would help to make the Phil- adelphia show the grand success that it should be. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that no city in the United States is better able to conduct a national -flower show suc- cessfully than the city of Philadelphia. It is doubtful if many of the members of the society realize the great amount of hard work which is being done by the national flower show committee at their meetings and during the time that the arrangements for the show are being made, and if every member will assist and do his little bit, there is no question but what this exhibition will be the b^st^e^er. ' ' De Kalb, III — J. Leonard Johnson is planning to erect another greenhouse next spring to accommodate his grow- ing business. Beginning with a hotbed eight years ago, Mr. Johnson has built up a large trade and now has eleven houses, comprising 15,000 feet of glass. 22 The Florists' Review Febbuaby 5, 1914. <>.^^^<<^.'^<^.<<-i^<«^.^<^.<»^<#^'fe»>'4fe^^V»>'fer»>--yf»>-fer»S-fe»>-^^ THE SHIPPING ^ DEPARTMENT THE NEW EXPRESS BATES. At Last They Are in Effect. Interstate express rates on a scale averaging sixteen per cent lower than those formerly prevailing, with an en- tirely new system of rates and regula- tions, became effective February 1, un- der orders issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Coincident -with the lower interstate rates, the states of Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsyl- vania, Delaware, West Virginia, Ken- tucky, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois and Louisiana put into force rates applying on intra-state express business upon practically the same ■ basis as those on interstate business. A block system of rates, dividing the country into ^26 blocks, formed by the intersection of the m^ridia^s of longi- tude and the parallels of latitude, is now in .effect on interstate express busi- ness; The method by which the new rates are determined by the block sys- tem is of importance to all shippers. In explaining this system it may be stated that the blocks begin in the extreme northwest part of the state of Washing- tori with 101 and are numbered across to the east. The second tier starts with 201, directly under 101, and so on down, the last sub-block being 2,445, which embraces the extreme southeasterly portion of the state of Florida, each of the blocks being divided into sixteen sub-blocks, designated by letters from A to Q, omitting J. New Minimum Express Bates. Under the new schedule of interstate rates, subject to revision, the minimum charge on a first-class shipment is 21 cents. On a second-class shipment it is 25 cents, unless the first-class rates are lower. Generally speaking, the second- class rates are seventy-five per cent of the first-class rates. The first and sec- ond-class charges are based upon ratos per 100 pounds. It is not practicable in these classes to have the charges in- crease in proportion to the weight; for instance, to charge for a ten-pound package ten times the charge for a one-pound package, and so on, would make the charges so high as to keep the business from reviving. The new sched- ules of first and second-class rates, therefore, contain a list of fixed rates for the transportation of packages-- of every weight from one to 100 pounds. How New Bates Are Made. The new federal express tariffs state all rates from block to block, except that between points on the same block and between points in adjoining blocks they are stated from sub-block to sub- block. An important feature of the new system is that rates are made from block to block or from sub-block to sub-block, irrespective of the number of carriers participating in the trans- portation. For instance, a shipment is to be made between two points, A and C. If the company with which the shipment originates is not represented at C the property is taken by that. com- pany to another point, B, and there tranisferred to a second company to com.plete the transportation. Assuming the shipment to weigh 100 pounds, un- der the old system' of determining charges, the first carrier would assess, say, 50 cents, its rate per 100 pounds for the transportation from A to B, and the second carrier would assess a simi- lar charge based upon its rate per 100 pounds from B to C, thus making the charges $1. Under the new system the rate per 100 pounds from sub-block A, in which the shipment originates, to sub-block C, in which it is delivered, is a given amount per 100 pounds, say 60 cents, and this is the charge which will be collected for the transportation. The new method for ascertaining the '~~R. E. Jones. Sam 8eli«rman. A Good Pair to Draw To. - ^ rate upon a given shipment will be as follows: Find out the nature of the article and the proper classification to apply. Then turn to a directory of ex- press stations, now being distributed by the companies to drivers, agents and shippers, and find out the block and sub-block in which the destination office is located. Then turn to the block tariff and find the scale number which applies. By then referring to the sch^ule of first and second-class express rates, and under the scale number already ob- tained, the charge which is to be made on the shipment will then be learned. Second-class rates under the new classification cover, with a few excep- tions, articles of food or drink, includ- ing plants and greens when properly packed, being seventy-five per cent of the merchandise, or first-class rates. The second-class rates replace the old general specials, but also include a much larger variety of articles. Second-class articles must be so prepared as to show the nature of the contents or they will be billed as first-class, subject to revi- sion on proof of the nature of_the con- tents. Urge Earlier Shipments. Although every preliminary prepara- tion has been made by the various ex- press companies to put the new rates, regulations and practices prescribed by both the federal and various state authorities into effect without confu- sion, the officials, believing that the volume of their traffic will increase shortly by leaps and bounds, strongly urge upon the shipping public the necessity for making their daily ex- press shipments at earlier hours than now prevail. Most of the matter transported by ex- press moves outward from the large cities. In New York city one of the ex- press companies handles on an average from 27,000 to 30,000 pieces of express matter daily at one of its depots and from 12,000 to 15,000 daily at another depot. At the first depot over seventy- five per cent of this matter is handled between the hours of 6 and 9 in the evening. At the other station over ninety per cent is handled between 6:30 and 9:30 in the evening. This practice of late shipping results in much con- fusion which might easily be avoided and much delay and many mistakes might be overcome by early shipment of express matter. CLAIMS FOB DAMAGES. In the issue of The Review for Janu- ary 22, page 16, there is an article on carnation culture headed "When Stock Is Shipped In," referring, of course, to plants. In the second part, headed "Delayed or Damaged Shipments," there is a statement which is ndf in accordance with my best knowledge and business experience with the pre- vailing laws of our state and, as we presume, the laws of most of the other states of our Union. The article says that "if contents are damaged, con- signee can refuse the shipment and the shipper is able to collect from the for- warding company." Allow me to copy from a quite recent decision published in our Journal of Comnierce, as I pre- sume this to be a subject of vital in- terest to your many readers: "Goods cannot be abandoned to a. carrier, as they might to an insurer. Any goods that the carrier, for any reason, has failed to deliver, must, if they have any value at all, be dealt with by the owner, who is the pur- chaser, not the shipper of the goods. The carrier is liable for any deteriora- tion arising out of his negligence, but he cannot be compelled to take the goods and pay full value for them. The owner is to dispose of the goods to best advantage, as if the -whole loss were destined to fall oh him, and then he may hold the carrier for the differ- ence -between the price obtained for the goods and the value they would have had if the carrier had not been negligent in regard to them. This is held practically to be the law in every state of the Union." -^ February o, 1!»14. The Florists' Review 23 You will see that in cases of poor de- livery by the carriers, consignees, who are by the law the owners of the goods shipped for their account and risk, will have to accept the goods, of course un- der protest and reserving their rights to claim. They will have to protect the shippers and not try to throw the goods into the shippers' hands. They have to claim from the carriers, not the shippers. The latter will always support any just claim, and' such sup- port has, in our experience, in the ma- jority of instances influenced the car- riers to at least some sort of settle- ment with the consignees', sometimes promptly, sometimes more tardily. But the carriers will have to acknowledge just claims put before them in legal form. The way suggested in your ar- ticle 'does not appear to me to be legal form, but a form to impede the suc- cessful collection of a just claim. Winfried Eolker. SHORT COURSES AT CORNELL. Farmers' week at Cornell University completed the short courses in flori- culture which began November 11, 1913. Three distinct courses have been given this year. The commercial course con- sists of five lectures and two after- noons each wefek devoted to practical and investigational work. The aim is to familiarize the students with the methods of culture of as many com- mercial crops as possible, such as roses, carnations, violets, orchids and the like. Eleven have taken this work during the last session. The course in green- house construction is also for persons interested in commercial problems. Different methods of construction used in houses fqr growing flowers and vege- tables are described, and factors which influence the heating of these are stud- ied. Coldframes and hotbeds are also considered. Twelve have been taking this work. The course in amateur flower grow- ing is designed principally foj; those interested in home flower growing. So far as possible, this course is given without reference to greenhouses. The physiological principles of plant growth are considered in so far as they apply to the growing of house plants and garden flowers. Practical exercises in propagation by seeds, cuttings and other methods are given. Two lectures each week are also given in tho cul- ture of various plants adapted to home growing, including house plants, plants for window and piazza boxes and gar- den flowers. Fifteen have taken this course. The accompanying illustration shows the students who have taken these short courses in floriculture dur- ing the last session. GLADIOLI IN JUNE AND JULY.

Duggan in the management of the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont., died at his resi- dence at Alton February 1. Charles Mauff. Charles Mauff, vice-president of the Mauff Floral Co., Denver, Colo., died January 24 of pneumonia. Mr. Mauff" was 53 years old and had lived in Den- ver all his life. His mother, Mrs. Rosa- lie Mauff, was for many years a florist, operating the Capitol Hill Greenhouses, of which Charles Mauff and his brother, Albert Mauff, at one time state horti- culturist, took charge under the corpo- rate title when Mrs. Mauff went to Los Angeles, Cal., to live. Mr. Mauff is survived by his widow, two brothers, Albert and Robert Mauff; four sisters, Mrs. A. D. Pickens, Mrs. A. B. Briggs and Mrs. R. V. Brown, of Denver, and Mrs. Roy Hartz, of New York city, and his mother, Mrs. Rosalie Mauff, of Los Angeles, Cal. Charles David Thayer. Charles Dq.yid Thayer, one of the old- est florists in Mi4 state of Massachusetts, died at his home, 16 Ripley street, Worcester, Mass., January 24 of valv- ular heart disease at the age of 63 years. Mr. Thayer 's health had been failing since the death of his wife two years ago, Mr. Thayer was born in Worcester .luly 7, 1850. He went into the florists' business when he was 19 years old and two years later opened a store on Main street,, which he conducted for twenty years. At one time he also operated stores in Millbury, Marlboro, Clinton and Spencer. He gradually enlarged "his plant and built up his business until he had one of the largest in the state. Of late years Mr. Thayer handled real estate on th^ side and had a large stock farm, on which were a large number of high-bred cattle. He was past com- mander of the Knights of Malta and a member of several horticultural socie- ties. Mr. Thayer leaves five children, Mrs. A. L. Halford, of Ludlow; C. D. Thayer, Jr.; Mrs. -John Beveridge, Alfred D. and Joseph Thayer. A sister. Miss Anna E. Thayer, also survives him. The funeral was held at his home the fol- lowing Tuesday. ^ "" Joseph H. Towell. From New York comes the report, this week, of the death of Joseph H. Towell, of Paterson, N. J., who had for many years been bedridden but who had continued to conduct his florists' busi- ness. IRIS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Please tell me how long a time is re- quired to have Spanish iris in bloom for Memorial day. I planted iiis In flats January 15, and covered them with four inches of soil. When mu^t I bring them in to have them in bloom for Memorial day? F. H. Spanish iris will need extremely little forcing to be in flower for Memorial day, as their natural flowering time out- doors is in June. You need not have covered your flats with soil. These irises commence to grow quickly when planted and should not be covered, as are the general run of Dutch bulbs. If you leave them covered, the growths will become weak and drawn. Remove them to coldframes or a light cellar. \ever mind if they get an occasional ligiit freezing, as it will not hurt them. About the middle oi" April place your irises in a cool house, run at about 48 degrees at night, and they will be in ample time for Memorial day. You planted your bulbs quite late; another season get them in during October and the results will be better. C. W.

In England Polypodium Mayi is a new form that is considered an important addition to the list of market plants. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Beview $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. Because of last summer's unfavor- able influence on carnation plants and autumn crops of bloom many growers will not trust all their stock to the field this summer, but will plant a part from pots to benches. The report is general that stock was scarcer in January than in many years. Bad weather is blamed, in most cases, but the shortage has been equally ap- parent in localities where climatic con- ditions have not been far from normal. The Classified ads in The Review all come practically without solicitation, as it is impossible to inow who has the sur- plus stock. The fact that there are nearly a thousand a week, nearly all sent in by mail without solicitation, shows how ser- viceable the trade has found these inex- pensive little liners. It's real name is Antoine Rivoire, but there was a time when it sold best as Mrs. Taft, However, most of the trade now use a part of the name Prince de Bulgarie, which, in shortening, becomes Bulgaria. And now the society editors have added a letter, so we read that the bridesmaids' flowers were "Bulgarian" roses. In certain quarters there is urgent de- , mand for a national credit association of florists, but really that is not what is needed — nearly everyone knows the weak buyers; what really is needed is the strengthening of the backbones of the sellers to the point where they will have the strength of purpose to stop giving credit to those who do not pay promptly. The Beview speaks with authority on the subject, as its own losses seldom come without ample warning. There is believed to be a fair pros- pect of obtaining this year an appro- priation of $75,000 at the hands of the legislature in New York for greenhouses for floricultural research work at Cornell University Agricultural College. The last legislature made the appropriation, but Governor Sulzer vetoed it. The complaint of poor bulbous stock is so widespread as to excite much com- ment. The bulbs are not producing the results that usually are obtained; both cut stock and pan stock are so poor aa to sell with difficulty. In certain locali- ties the blame is put on dark weather, in some places on warm weather, and in others on other conditions of the ele- ments. Is it possible the trouble is in the bulbs? HOW THEY WATCH. Of course when one wants to get the attention of possible buyers who are not searching for stock the proper plan is to use a big, stronj; display, but to catch the eye of the man who is look- ing for a certain item nothing is needed but a little Classified liner in The Re- view. All the trade consults the Classi- fied ads when something in the way of standard stock is wanted. This is the result: We are sold out of coleus and Sprengerl for a few weeks. This will show you how the trade watches the Classified ads in The Review, and the advertisers' results. — Felch Bros., Maywood, HI., January 24, 1914. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. Grand Forks, N. D. — J. V. Wickler, the proprietor of the Wickler Floral Co., filed a voluntary petition in bank- ruptcy January 23, giving his liabilities as $6,122 and his assets as $1,850. This amount includes trees and shrubs valued at $1,360, which were sold to E. J. Lander & Co., September 25, 1913. The sale, being within four months of the filing of the petition, will probably be contested. In spite of misfortune and expense from sickness and death in the family in the last few years, Mr. Wick- ler tried to build up his florists' and nursery business, but was unable to get enough to pay off the old debts. His daughters have rented from him the store fixtures, which he claims under the exemption rights, and, occupying the same place, will carry on the busines.s. CHICAaO. The Great Central Market. There has been no material change in market conditions since last report, but with the sun again shining now and then the growers have hopes that the supply w^ill increase. Already there are signs of a good supply of sweet peas. The belated crops have started to arrive and growers have notified their whole- salers that they can be assured of fairly good shipments from now on if the weather is the least bit favorable. Roses are in slightly better supply than they were a week ago, but there still are more orders for the shorter grades than can be handled without trouble. Of course Killarney is more in evidence than any other variety, as it is planted at least as heavily as all other roses combined. The call for funeral flowers takes up White Killar- ney even quicker than short pink. There are enough long Killariley so that prices liave eased a little. Outside of this one variety the market has little to offer. Februaey 5, 1914.

Of course, we sell to city buyers and other wholesalers after our shipping orders are piclced out and set aside, but the supply now is so large we seldom are without fine stock, even for late orders.

We wish to announce that on February 1 we purchased the CLEVELAND PLANT & FLOWER CO., of Cleveland, Ohio. We have continued their contracts with their growers, which will give us greatly increased shipments of flowers, enabling us to take care of your cut flower wants to better advantage. The purchase also includes an immense stock of Florists' Supplies, which will be disposed of at greatly reduced prices. cCALLUM CO. 421 High Avenue, CLEVELAND, OHIO Mention The ReTlew when you write. for there is a good demanrl for the yel- lows. Eichmond is coining into crop again. As for Taft, Maryland and the new roses, they are being cut in such small quantities that they are hard to find. The plants of the new roses, Mrs. Russell, Sliawyer and Milady, are being cut up for propagating, so that these varieties are to be had only in small quantities. There is some improvement in the quality of roses, which have been decidedly poor of late, because of the lack of sun. Beauties in the longer lengths are fairly plentifuLiiut the shorter grades have not been in oversupply at any time this year. All Beauties show the effects of the weather and the better grades are bringing good returns. Some of the high-class stores complain that the Beauties of late have been so poor they could not use them without receiving complaints from their customers. The supply of carnations has not in- creased to any great extent. There are quantities that are too poor to ship, but first-class carnations for shipping pur- poses are not easily picked up in any large quantities. Most of the carna- tions now on the market are soft and are of little use except to the local re- tailer for funeral work. A^iolets are in large supply and there are more of the Hudson river doubles than the market can care for without effort. The singles, however, are not so plentiful and they bring good prices. The supply for St. Valentine's day is not expected to be so plentiful as the dealers would like. While the sweet pea growers believe they will be able to pick in large quantities, there is no such word of encouragement from the local violet men. Cattleyaa are less plentiful than they wefe and the bargain sales of locally grown stock are said to be over for a time. Bulbous stock is being cut more freely than before and there are plenty of tulips. Paper Whites, jonquils, freesias, etc. The supply of jonquils, however, is not any too large for the demand and the dealers find no trouble in disposing of them. There is much complant that the bulbous stock this year is poor, the pan stock as well as that grown for cut- ting. Valley moves well and the supply, though large, is kept well cleaned up. Fisher's Affairs, , Representing a meeting of creditors, l^hilip Schupp and John Zech made a thorough investigation of the affairs of the y. A. Fisher Co., at Kalamazoo, last week, devoting several days to the work. Returning, it was reported to the cred- itors that the largest creditor has ac- cepted Mr. Fisher's personal notes for his account and that the other indebt- edness is approximately $9,600. Only one creditor had started suit. The com- piittee recommended that the creditors accept the offer of Mr. Fisher's friends to pa}- at once 121^ cents on the dollar, Mr. Fisher to move the store to cheaper quarters and otherwise cut his ex- penses in half, such profits as are se- cured to be turned over to the commit- tee until the company's indebtedness is discharged. The committee feels that the business is a good and profitable one and that careful supervision will save it for Mr. Fisher without loss to his cred- itors. Pyfer and Olsem Buy Star. The Star Floral Co., Wilmette, 111., which has been on the market for some time, February 3 passed to the owner- ship of Aaron T. Pyfer and Peter Olsem, of the Chicago Carnation Co. The consideration is reported to have been $63,000, which is practically the amount Herman F. Schuettler, first deputy chief of police, the former owner, has said the plant cost as it stands today. The first houses were erected seven years ago and the range has been added to from time to time until now there are twenty- one houses, a total of approximately 100.000 feet of glass.

The new owners, who took possession at once, will continue to grow cut flowers for the Chicago market. The stock now is being consigned to the Chicago Carna- tion Co., where Mr. Pyfer will con- tinue as manager, at least for a time. Mr. Olsem will remove from Joliet to Wilmette and take personal charge of the growing and a new superintendent is to be appointed for the Joliet estab- lishment. Various Notes. At the regular meeting of the Eetail Florists' Association of Chicago, Mon- day, February 2, about .100 members were present and twenty applications for membership were received. An ex- hibit was staged by Wertheimer Bros., who also donated a ribbon case which was raffled off and won by Julius Zschau. Poehlmann Bros. Co. showed a line of florists' supplies and Horace Hughes displayed his line of valentine boxes. There was an animated discus- sion of the association's pet project of getting all the wholesalers to take the same stand as the ones who decline all retail orders. Announcement was made of the next regular meeting, the first Monday in March, to be held at the same place, 170 West Jackson boule- vard. A committee to take charge of a trade exhibition to be held this month was appointed. H. Dieu Schiller is secretary. The accidental death of Herbert .Tegen Bitters, the 8-year-old son of Mrs. Ida Jegen Bitters, was a shock to her friends in the florists' trade. The boy was crushed to death under the wheels of an Illinois Central train at the Windsor Park station February 1, His mother was Miss Ida Jegen, daughter of J. J, Jegen, both well known to the florists of Chicago. Jean E. Franke, retail florist at 736 Milwaukee avenue, has the indorsement of the Eepublican organization for the aldermanic nomination in the Seven- teenth ward in the primary election of February 24. , January 27 Fred Strail, who is well known in retail circles here, went to St. Louis to take a position in the de- partment store flower section presided over by David Geddes, also a, former Chicago man, having been connected 28 The Florists' Review Fkbruaus 5, 1914.

No decision is ex- pected for several months. Four important holidays are on the calendar this month at Bassett & Wash- burn's store, to-wit: Lincoln's birth- day, St. Valentine's day, Washington's birthday and C. L. Washburn's birth- day, the latter coming February 27. Sam Pearce is bringing the stock to market, from his recently completed establishment on Higgins avenue, in a new Nelson-Le Moon motor truck, all green and gold. M. C. Gunterberg looks forward to a large St. Valentine's day demand for violets. Bulbous stock has found a good mar- ket so far, according to the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, tulips, jonquils, etc., cleaning up in good shape. A. L. Vaughan says collections have been satisfactory since Christmas, much better than at the close of the year. He adds that prospects are good for St. Valentine 's day. Charles Erne, who is acting as re- ceiver for E. H. Hunt, Inc., states that a few disputed, accounts are holding up the dividend to creditors that had been promised by T. T. Clark, the former receiver. As soon as these are adjusted, the payment will be made. A boy, the first, came January 31 to join the little girl who brightens the home of Peter Pearson, on Gunnison street. In an effort to get an early crop next season Peter Reinberg will in the spring plant a part of his carnations direct to the benches from 2-inch pots. Of late years all the stock first has gone into the field. Following the Cleveland convention of the American Carnation Society, August Poehlmann and Guy W. French visited Mt. Clemens, Mich., to see Car- nation Philadelphia growing. Poehl- mann Bros. Co. will plant 5,000 of it next season. A vase of the new crimson rose, Had- ley, staged in the store of the E. C. Am- ling Co., attracted no little attention this week. It was the first time the rose had been seen in Chicago. The blooms were from A. N. Pierson, Crom- well, Conn., who is disseminating it. J. R. Fotheringham, of the F. B. Pier- son Co., was in charge. According to Carl Thomas, Emil Buettner's roses have caught their stride again. . At the Cleveland convention R. E.

W. Mc- Kellar underwent a slight surgical oper- ation early this week. An interested visitor last week was E. J. McCallum, of the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh and Cleveland. It was his first trip to Chicago and he was im- pressed with the size and activity of the florists' interests here, absorbing much information to applv to the devel- opment of his own rapidly growing busi- ness. M. B. Skinner & Co. have become sales representatives for James Mc- Crea & Co., manufacturers of steam specialties. Mr. Skinner, the head of the new company, was president and manager of the original concern. The organization of the new company has been completed and the concern is now located ,in its new quarters at 558 to 562 Washington boulevard. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, January 27, it was decided that owing to the difficulty of securing a desirable place to hold an exhibition, no spring show will be held this year. The Chicago Florists' Club will hold its usual meeting at Hotel La Salle Feb- ruary 5. The matter of affiliating with the S. A. F. will be up for discussion.

The officers of the Illinois State Flo- rists' Association and representatives of the Danville Florists' Club met to- gether at the Plaza hotel at Danville January 21 and went over the plans for the joint meeting of the state florists' associations of Indiana and Illinois at Danville March 10 and 11. The Dan- ville florists have outlined a program for the two days, which the officers of the association fully approved. The Plaza hotel has been named as headquar- ters for the visiting florists and an at- tendance of about 300 is expected. The hall of the Armory will be used for the exhibition, which is being planned as a big feature of the convention. Monday, March 9, will be devoted to staging the exhibits of flowers and plants. Tuesday will be the first day of the exhibition, and in the afternoon the important business meeting will be held. Wednesday the visitors will take a trip to the University of Illinois, at Urbana, to visit the agricultural school and the experiment station there. A banquet at the Plaza hotel Wednesday evening will close the convention and is to be one of its prominent features. The speakers have not yet been selected. The music committee comprises W. J. Anker, Charles Walker and J. J. Smith. The program of the meeting, so far as it has been et)mpleted, is as follows: Introductory remarks — H. E. Smith, president of the Danville Florists' Club. Address of welcome — Attorney H. A. Swallow, corporation counsel. Response and welcome to the Indiana Florists' Society — One of the officerst of the Illinois State Florists' Society. Response — W.

A., concerning the best early varieties of cabbage. If B. A. A. will plant his whole plot with Glory of Enkhuizen or Copenhagen Market he will get from fifty to 100 per cent more cabbage. I have tested both and would plant no other. I start the seed in flats in the greenhouse about March 1. When the plants are large enough I prick them off into flats about one and one-half to two inches apart. As soon as they have become large enough to make good plants I set them out in coldframes to harden. Watch for a warm spell in which to set out the plants, for if they have three or four days to get started they will stand hard frosts and come through all right. The flats should be well watered before the plants are set out in the field, to in- sure a good start. Wilson Her. May I suggest in answer to the in- quiry of your correspondent B. A. A. in the issue of The Review for January 15 that he try Copenhagen Market for his early variety? It comes in three or four days later than Early Jersey Wakefield, but gives twice the yield, is a sure header and will stand twice as long as any other early cabbage. W. Atlee Burpee & Co. have an exceedingly good strain of it. The average weight of my cabbages of this variety is about ten pounds. I have had them as heavy as twenty-six pounds, and they were not coarse even then. Alwyne Buckley. FEBTILIZEB FOB TOMATOES.

I try to keep the temperature at 60 to 75 degrees, but some of the plants seem to be stunted or hungry. Should I give them applications of liquid manure? E. B. Good pulverized sheep manure should have suited your tomato plants. If it is not giving you the desired results, try decayed cow manure passed through a half-inch screen, to mix with your soil; one part cow manure to five parts soil will be about right. I would advise the use of natural rather than artificial manures for tomatoes, as they will give the best results. Some finje bone added to the soil will prove a good help to the plants; use a 4-inch potful to each bar- row load of loam. If any of your plants seem starved in pots, give a top-dress- ing of fine bone or other fertilizer. For plants in beds or benches, if they seem to be starved, give a mulch of some well decayed manure and water it well. If the plants are fruiting, apply liquid manure once in ten days, and Laurel — Mots - Boxwood Laurel Stems, large bag $1.00 Laurel Branches, 2x2x4-ft. case 2.50 Green Sheet Moss b&g. 1.25 Clump Moss bag, 1.00 Boxwood, fine stock lb., .12 W.

The other fertilizers named are equally good for planted-out tomatoes. Your tem- peratures are about right; 60 degrees at night, with a dry atmosphere, is -\Vhat they need.

If so, what? How should it be used, and where can it be secured? I now have a crop ready for sale. The quality is good, and the heads large. I ' am surprised myself at the success I have had with the first crop, but I have had all sorts of trouble with the green fly. B, E. E. Tobacco stems as a fumigant are now almost entirely discarded. They make a foul smell, and when they are used there is great danger of scorching lettuce leaves. There are now a num- ber of good nicotine preparations which are vastly preferable to tobacco stems. K you use steam you can paint the pipes with a nicotine extract. This also can be evaporated over wood al- cohol lamps. There are other nicotine preparations in the form of paper. These latter are handy, but, unfortu- nately, variable in quality. C. W. Columbos, O. — E. B.

For glazing with double-strength 16-ineh glass, about 150 pounds of whiting and five to seven gallons of linseed oil will be required, depending upon the consistency of the putty. The durability of the putty will be improved by the addition of about ten pounds of white lead. While liquid putty is in a convenient form for use in patching an old roof, I prefer a rather firm paste for ordi- nary glazing, merely bedding the glass and filling the cracks at the sides of the panes, without using any putty over the glass.

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

LEWIS HENDERSON, Florist 1510 Farnam Street, OMAHA, NKB. Member Florists' Telesrraph Delivery Aas'n ST. LOUIS. The Southwestern Market. The market conditiona the first part of last week were most satisfactory to the local trade, as prices were up and stock rather scarce in all seasonable flowers. During the latter part of the week, stock began to come in heavily and the demand was slow. The weather, too, was rather freakish during the week; up to January 28 it was summer- like, but from then on we got a real taste of winter, with a big snow storm January 30. This did not help the flower business much, but did help to empty the coal bins of the growers. The one noticeable feature last week was the great increase of violet con- signments, and the growers of Kirk- wood, where most of them come from, are happy once more. Another feature was the increased supply of bulbous stock. Jonquils, Bomans and Paper Whites were easier than they have been for the last ten days at any of the wholesale markets. In roses there is still a scarcity, al- though the new crop now coming on promises to be a heavy one. Carna- tions are again in crop and have been coming in heavily the latter part of the week. Prices on these are down to $3 per hundred for fancy varieties and $2 for good stock. Easter lilies and val- ley are in good demand, with an equal supply. There is always a good de- mand in this market for greens, such as smilax, asparagus, galax and fancy ferns. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. James S. Wilson, of Des Moines, la., spent a few days longer than was expected in the city calling on old acquaintances, as this is Mr, Wil- son's former home. They left January 29, taking Mr. Wilson's brother, Alex- ander, with them. Michael J. Batchford, former keeper Arcade Floral Shop F. W. KUMMER, Prop. 309 KING ST. CHARLESTON, S. C. GEORGE M.

Among them was the decoration of the Women's Club build- ing for the Kentucky Club. They also have the decorations for the South Side Blue Wing Club for this month, for which 300 American Beauties will be used. Jos. Witek, who recently bought out Julius Schaflfer, on North King's High- way, is making some of his artistic win- dow displays, for which he was noted when in the employ of Fred C. Weber. He reports business satisfactory. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, originator of the Mazzura violet, says that from now on he expects to have a good cut of violets. The Mazzura, like all other varieties, suffered from the early win- ter warm spell, but is now beginning to show a big crop. Grimm & Gorly say that their east side branch is enjoying a good run of trade. Their fine displays of cut stock and plants are an attraction along Col- linsville avenue. At their Washington avenue store their big force of help has been kept busy. J. F. Ammann, of the J. F. Ammann Co., Edwardsville, HI., which consigns all its stock for this market to 0. A.

The opportunity for carry- ing out their plans in a successful man- ner came when the Ohio Land Show Co. invited the Toledo Florists ' Club to par- ticipate in the show which they are go- ing to hold in the Terminal building during the first and second weeks in November. The idea of this exhibit, which will be a monster one, is to edu- cate the people of Ohio to the advan- tages of staying right at home to make their fortunes, by revealing the many good qualities of the soil and products of Ohio. Naturally an exhibit of flow- ers would fit in with this idea in a most appropriate way. The guarantee fund asked by this company has already been raised by the Toledo florists and grow- ers and all that is necessary is the final word from the Ohio real estate board. Wednesday, January 22, a few To- ledo florists made up a party and vis- ited Detroit. Those who made up the party were Harry Heinl, Thomas Magee and Frank Schramm, with A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., Chicago. At De- troit the party was joined by Robert Eahaley and Mr. Brown. The purpose of the trip was mainly to see the new Philadelphia carnation. After spending some time in seeing the sights of De- troit, the Toledo florists left for Mt. Clemens, where they found the most magnificent carnations of the season. The party took in four places and were delighted with the beautiful valley they saw at Robert Klagge's. At Breit- meyer's the Philadelphia carnations were seen in all their glory and in every stage of their development. The stems were from twenty-four to thirty- Orders solicited for all parts of Connecticut. Hartford, Conn.

The feature of the trip was the royal entertainment furnished the Toledo party by good- natured Robert Bahaley. Lima, Springfield, Dayton and Cincin- nati were visited by another party of Toledo growers. This exploration trip was mainly for the purpose of finding some new plants that would enlarge the variety of the local market. The party was composed of Emil Kuhnke, J. Schiller and William Krueger. The ex- pedition was a success from every standpoint. A. C. K. CLEVELAND. One of the visitors during the conven- tion of the American Carnation Society was E. J. McCallum, of Pittsburgh, head of the McCallum Co., which oper- ates commission houses in both Pitts- burgh and Cleveland. While here Mr. McCallum and W. O. Potter, who has charge of the Cleveland branch, consum- mated a deal for taking over the Cleve- land Plant & Flower Co., which has con- ducted a wholesale house since Septem- ber. The Cleveland Plant & Flower Co. was incorporated with a capital stock of $20,000. It was organized by members of the Jones-Russell Co. The incorporators were H. B. Jones, A. B. Barber, C. H. Billman, H. C. Byce and E. E. Dreher. Mr. Barber was the manager. Though owned by the Jones- Russell interests, the two corporations were entirely separate. Before becom- HOUSTON.

The journeys of the Dutch bulb sales- men are not along paths of roses — the bulbs they sold last season are flowering too poorly. Theee is a perfect deluge of bills to put seeds into the parcel post. Febru- ary 3 Senator Kenyon introduced an amendment to the postoflSce appropria- tion bill providing that fourth-class mail matter shall embrace seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, plants, etc. The postmaster general having de- cided that legislation is necessary before seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., can be in- cluded in the parcel post, at least four congressmen have risen to the occasion and within the last few days have intro- duced bills that will wipe out the present law fixing the rate at 1 cent for each two ounces regardless of distance. MASSIE GETS PBESIDENCT. At a meeting of the board of direc- tors of Northrup, King & Co., at Min- neapolis, January 28, the following of- ficers were elected: President and gen- eral manager, Charles C. Massie; vice- president and treasurer, L. M. King; secretary, E. B. Northrup. Mr. Massie has been connected with the company for more than twenty years and has been general manager since J. E. Northrup 's retirement. He is widely known as a seedsman and for the current year is president of the American Seed Trade Association and vice-president of the "Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association. He is 42 years' of age. L. M. King, who is also secretary and treasurer of the "Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association, succeeds the late Preston King as vice-president and treasurer of the company. E. B. Northrup, who becomes secre- tary, has been connected with the busi- ness for more than seven years. SEEDSMEN T>/rnr WITH OANNEBS. Biggest Gatliering of Its Kind Yet Held.

Therkildson, for the last four years superintendent of the seed de- partment of the Storrs & Harrison Co., left Thursday for Philadelphia, where he will take charge of the advertising and catalogue department of the well known seed house, W. Atlee Burpee & Co. "Mr. Therkildson will remain in Philadelphia until March, when he will leave for the Lompoc valley, near Los Angeles, Cal., where he will inspect the crops under cultivation by that company. "During Mr. Therkildson *s residence in this city he won many friends, who regret his departure and wish him all manner of good fortune. Mr. Ther- kildson will be especially missed dur- ing fair week, when he was ever ready and enthusiastic to assist with good suggestions.

The flowers used in decorating the cart were 100 orchids, 500 lilies of the valley and 500 pink and white roses. With these were used Begonia Rex, smi- lax and selaginellas for greens.

We have an abundance of jonquils, but unfortunately the rainy weather has marred them to a considerable extent, and they are not as perfect as they might be. Noticeable also is the great quantity of Narcissus Paper White and freesias. They work in excellently in funeral work and are both excellent commodities. Yellow tulips have made their appearance^ and although they still stand high in price, retailing at 75 cents per dozen, and have short stems, they prove to be a good seller. We have had practically no roses whatever during the week, and our large downtown stores have suffered for lack of stock for cut flower boxes. The sup- ply of valley is normal, and cattleyas are particularly fine. Formosa lilies are a staple commodity and a good seller. Liberal branches of Acacia Baileyana tend to fill in nicely and fruit blossoms are beginning to make their appearance. We still have a profusion of violets and notice a continued downward tendency in the price of them. It is to be hoped that with the sunny and clement weather we are having, the stock of roses will be much improved, for this surely is a mat- ter of concern at this writing. Various Notes. The funeral of Wm. G. Irwin called for a large supply of high-grade funeral work, and such firms as Pelicano, Bossi & Co., Podesta & Baldocchi and Julius Eppstein had some extensive work to execute. Great interest has been shown in the wonderful progress which John Mc- Laren and Donald McLaren have been making at the exposition site. Among the 200,000 plants already boxed and ready to set out are 42,000 eucalypti from ten to forty feet high, also 5,500 acacias of many different varieties. About 2,200 fuchsias in 12-inch boxes are being trained in standard form. There are also 6,000 hydrangeas, in 18- inch boxes, which are expected to reach the width of four feet. Marguerites, pelargoniums and geraniums in many varieties have been placed in boxes and will be used for tub and vase work. One of the most marked contributions to the floral beauty of the exposition will be the bougainvillea. Many of these plants are now in bloom at the nurseries. Mr. McLaren has 500 of these plants, and they will be twenty feet high when the exposition opens. W. A. H. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business last week was satisfactory. The weather conditions have improved considerably. There was a daily clean- up on all stock. Roses have not been overplentiful, but the quality is grad- ually improving as the days are getting longer. Carnations are in good supply, with an increase in the amount of splits. Spring flowers are rapidly tak- ing the place of the conventional flow- ers of the season. Last week there was a steady demand for wedding and table decorations, and spring flowers predom- inated in the decorations. Sweet peas have been slow to bloom; the supply is hardly dependable enough to justify taking orders for them. Green goods are somewhat scarce. Smilax is being shipped from Califor- nia and is used extensively for decor- ating. On account of the mild weather in some sections rose bushes and shrub- H. N.

An entire change of weather has brought with it an entire change in the business aspect among the local florists. Beginning Monday a decided impetus was felt throughout the city. Spring flowers and early blooms tended to cheer the situation, and from Monday up to this writing every florist in town reports a normal increase in business, with excellent prospects. Undoubtedly the spring season will be a good one.

This is in danger of being nipped, as the winter season is far from being over. Orchardists are alarmed at the advanced season, as the fruits may be severely injured if there should be a cold snap. Various Notes. Louis Goodfriend, representing Werth- eimer Bros., called on the local trade last week with an extensive line of ribbons. Attention is called to a typographical error in the Portland notes of .January 22, in which the size of the violet of J. Koida should have read two inches instead of ten, as quoted. W. A. De Graaff, representing a Hol- land bulb house, is calling on the trade this week. He reports business satis- factory. Ole Erickson, of Astoria, Ore., was a week-end caller. K. R. C.

The of- ficers were reelected and are as follows: President— W. N. Scarff, of New Car- lisle. Secretary — ^W. B. Cole, of Painesville. Treasurer — A. E. Pickett, of Clyde. Executive committee — Eobert George, of Painesville; A. E. Dinsmore, of Troy; T. B. West, of Perry; W, F. Bohlander, of Tippecanoe City, and J. W. Gaines, of Xenia. The Meeting. The meeting of the association was unusually well attended. The principal matter of business before the associa- tion was the entertainment of the American Association of Nurserymen, which meets in Cleveland, June 24 to 26. At the meeting $1,000 was raised for this purpose. City Forester John Boddy, of Cleveland, will cooperate with the Ohio association in entertain- ing the national organization. The present plan is to furnish the members of the association next June an auto- mobile ride through the parks and boule- vards and a moonlight boat ride on the lake. Mr. Boddy gave an interesting talk, illustrated with stereopticon views, on the parks and boulevards of Cleveland. He showed views of the $2,000,000 art museum in the course of construction and of the new conservatories and ar- boretum. He also showed a number of slides in explanation of certain fruit blights and pests. Several papers were presented that were on topics of impor- tance and of great interest to the mem- bers. The Program. The complete program of the meet- ing was as follows: Address by the president. Report of the secretary. Report of the treasurer. Report on nursery and orcbard inspection.

The ninth annual convention of the Tennessee Nurserymen 's Association was held at Nashville January 29. Dur- ing the week several state organiza- tions met in that city and so the at- tendance at the nurserymen's meeting was quite large. Vice-president Harvey M. Templeton, of Winchester, presided, in the absence of President Charles Pen- nington, who since his election has moved to Alabama. It was proposed at this meeting that the proceedings of the nine conventions of the associa- tion, of which complete stenographic reports have been taken, be published in a volume for the benefit of the mem- bers.

A resolution was passed protesting against the adoption of the McKellar cold stor- age bill, now in Congress, as detrimental' to the fruit industry, and another thank- ing the Atlas Powder Co. for its dem- onstration of the use of dynamite for removing stumps and other work in- horticulture. At the close of the af- ternoon session the members of the as- « sociation visited the greenhouse estab- lishment of the Joy Floral Co. and in- spected the work and products of the plant.

OEEGON-WASHINOTON MEETING, Election of Officers. The annual meeting of the Oregon- Washington Nurserymen 's Association was held in the Hotel Kennewick, at Kennewick, Wash., January 20, and the following officers were elected: President, C. F. Breithaupt, of Eich- land, Wash. Vice-president for Washintgon — F. W. May, of North Yakima, Wash. Vice-president for Oregon — H. A. Lewis, of Portland. Secretary and treasurer — C. A. Ton- neson, of Tacoma. Executive committee — A, Brownell, of Portland, and J. McGhee, of Orenco, Ore. It was decided to hold the next meet- ing of the association at Vancouver, B. C, in June. It will be held jointly with the Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen. The next annual meeting will probably be held at Kennewick again. A Small Attendance. The meeting at Kennewick did not draw a large attendance, although all the large concerns operating in this sec- tion were represented. The nursery- men devoted the entire day to work and took up many questions of interest. There seems to have been a decrease in the nursery business in this section dur- ing the last year and a corresponding decrease in the number of nurseries. The general tone of the meeting, how- ever, was one of optimism, and the members predicted a decided increase in the plantings next year. Among those present were F. W. May and A.

Medina, O., Jan. 20, '14. Dear Sir: We thought you would like to know of our success with your Silver Pink Snapdragon. Have had twelve packages of seed. We sow one pkt. to a flat, and from last sowing of two pkts. we potted 655 plants from one and 630 from the other. Think you advertised 500 seeds to pkt. How is this for all seed growing, then some. THEY SELL LIKE HOT CAKES. Very respectfully, Hammerschmidt & Clark. We have but one quality of goods and the same SQUARE DEAL is handed out alike to all. There is more money for the grower in SILVER PINK SEEDLINGS than in any other snapdragon. Its existence is not due to accident. It was brought about by scientific rules and principles and has "made good" to the amazement of all. It has pure blood, produced by three generations of the parent plant from cuttings without permitting a blossom to appear, so that it could not even pollenize itself. This stock, which is still in our possession; was then allowed to produce seed which is making a world-wide record. It has vigorous growth and wonderful productiveness, hence its great popularity through- out the country. To obtain genuine Silver Pink seed, order from us or from seedsmen who have original packets only. We do not sell in bulk. The price is $1.00 per trade pkt.; 3 pkts., $2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00, postpaid for cash. Splendid, well branched plants at $4.00 per 100, by express. These plants are right for Memorial. Use seeds for bedding sales and be sure to have a big lot of plants. G. S. RAMSBURG, SOMERSWORTH, N. H. est varieties. At the last cut over 100,- 000 spikes were cut. The house con- taining these is a large one, 52%x600. The selection of Samuel Goddard as the new president of the American Car- nation Society met with universal ap- proval hero. Mr. Goddard is a first-class grower, progressive, popular with every- one, and no one has the interests of the Carnation Society more at heart. William W. Elliott has some nice, bushy, well flowered plants of Christie- Miller rose in his store windows on Park street. He is cutting a fine crop of this popular rose, also superb lots of Ward, Richmond and Killarney Queen. Among the numerous bulbous flowers of Mann Bros., Narcissus Walter T. Ware and Tulip Murillo are noteworthy at present. The new unnamed light pink seedling rose at the Waban Rose Conservatories is something that will create no end of a stir when seen more of. It is of a distinct shade from any other forcing rose, and Mr. Montgomery has a nov- elty which will later create even more of a sensation than did Mrs. Chas. Rus- sell. At the next meeting of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club, February 17, L. W. C. Tuthill, of New York, will lec- ture on "Advertising, the Gasoline of Business." It will be carnation night, and an extensive display of these flow- ers will be made. Arrangements are well under way for the annual club ban- quet, which will be held at Horticultural hall February 24. These occasions are always delightful, and there is already an eager demand for tickets. Harry Quint, at 164 Tremont street, has had some attractive daffodil and vio- let windows of late. He notes a wonder- ful change for the better in business during the last fortnight. The Sutermeister estate, Readville, is sending in some of the finest Golden Spur and Soleil d'Or narcissi seen this season. H. M. Robinson & Co. and Welch Bros. Co. both note a steady improve- ment in business for the last ten days.

The quality of the stock we have sent out from year to year has made an enviable reputation for itself and we have that repu- tation to maintain. It hasn't been luck; it's been hard, consistent work to make it. Judging by our spring prospects, that reputation will be made good. Our novelties of the season in Roses are Killarney Brilliant and Hadley. In Chrysanthemums, Indian Summer, our bronze sport of Ohadwick, and the new Pompons— Golden Climax, Golden Harvest, Golden West, and Western Beauty. For pot plants the new bronze Grey- stone. Our bedding plant stock is large and in excellent condition. If you have received our trade list look it over. It includes things you will want. If you haven't it, send for one, using printed station- ery, or give reference, to prove yourself a florist. A. N. PIERSON, Inc. Cromwell, Conn. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. The Market. Business is rather quiet; there is not much doing in any line of trade. Stock, owing to the extremely cloudy weather, is sqft anij scarce. Carnations are hard to get and the supply of roses hardly meets tiie demand. Various Notes. The Brainard Nursery & Seed Co., of Thompsonville, Conn., has been sending some fine potted plants into the city. It plans to remodel its buildings before the spring rush begins. From now on it expects to do a big business in cuttings and small potted stock. One of the greenhouses and the boiler room of Nicholas Bros., at Westfield, to- gether with the stock in the house, were almost completely destroyed by fire January 26. Two small houses near by were saved. The loss was partly covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. F. J. C. Eockford, lU.— W. ft.

Mrs. George Shawyer We are growing this splendid rose this season with most gratifying results. As a free and vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It has not shown the slightest symptoms of mildew with us. It sets buds freely in the short days of winter and is now coming in with a fine midwinter crop. It does equally well on grafts or own root. We intend planting Shawyer heavily this season, but still have a splendid stock of fine young plants in 3-inch pots, ready for immediate delivery — on own root. We also offer a splendid lot of Sunburst, Ward, Richmond and Killarney, all own root stock. For prices and further particulars write 30 East Randolph Street C H I C A G O r. J. BENTHEY, GREENHOUSES. NEW CASTLE, IND. Mpntlon The Review when yog wri te . WASHINGTON. On account of the unseasonable warm weather, the thermometer at times reg- istering as high as 74 degrees, all flow- ers became more plentiful during the latter part of last week. While certain lines, such as American Beauty, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Taft and Kadiance roses, are off crop and are commanding a high price, there is no need for anyone to pay unusually high prices for flowers, because the Killarneys, white and pink, are cut by the thousands, so that the demand for roses during the latter part of the week was well met. For the first time in many weeks the retailers were enabled to pick up roses for as low as $4 per hundred and get good stock. The supply of carnations has also increased and these receded considerably from the high prices which prevailed during the earlier part of the week. Although just making their appearance in the market, jonquils are being offered at $4 and $5 per hundred. Some of the growers claim they would rather buy jonquils at this price than attempt to produce them. Each year the promise is held out by the foreign bulb dealers that they have something new that will posi- tively come in for the Christmas trade, but this year, as usual, some of the growers have lost the entire crop that they had tried to force for the middle of January, while others made but half a crop. The warm weather has had a tendency to flood the market with sweet peas and violets, more especially the single vio- lets, and huge trays of these could be seen on the streets to be bought at the buyer's price. The continued warm weather is caus- ing the growers considerable alarm be- cause of the tendency of azaleas to bloom and cause a shortage for Easter. All kinds of schemes are being tried to prevent this condition. The demand for flowers at present is not great enough to take care of the many thousands that will be thrown on the market unless a change comes soon. C. L. L. Herrin, 111. — W. M.

CECILE BRUNNER,The Baby Pink Rose This is a beautiful little Rose coming in sprays of three to five buds and has been a great success with the retail florists of this city, as it combines in beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of work. Every grower should try some of these — not only in the greenhouse but in his garden. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in the winter, should be a money-maker both out- doors and under glass.

It sounds so good because it happens to be true. This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation over night. We have been handling it for a little over two years and ought to know something about it. IT'S A REAL RED Perhaps we should call it Scarlet, because it is a live, glowing Red. Better still, it is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means to the man who is depending on us. JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111.— the man who raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody. Don't wait for the other fellow to tell you about it. Send your order in now. ROOTED CUTTINGS— Immediate Delivery— $10.00 per 100; $80.00 per 1000 A. L.

Pittsburgh has been having pleasant weather, with some sunshine, which is bringing in everything except roses, which still are scarce. Tulips of all colors and with good, long stems, and Golden Spur narcissi are almost a glut. Carnations are becoming plentiful and there is an abundance of good valley, cattleyas and lilac. The shortage of Beauties and roses is not felt badly. The retail stores all have a good run of funeral work, but there is nothing really exciting about the balance of the trade. Various Notes. The delegation to the carnation con- vention got home January 29, thor- oughly satisfied with Clevelan,d and the convention. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. took the only exhibit from here and got a first premium on it. Ed. McCallum continued on to Chicago from the con- vention. Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, W.

New Rose, Klllarney Brilliant THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN MANY YEARS. We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Killarney — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety at its best. In addition to its great superiority in color, the flower is almost twice as large, having from twenty-five to forty full-sized petals. It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but has double the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller flower; and it is also very much more productive, having the same habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent. We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past win- ter, planted in the same house with the original and the double pink Killarney, and when those varieties faded so as to be almost unmarket- able, Killarney Brilliant was superb. We are thoroughly convinced that it will immediately supplant the original Killarney as the standard mar- ket variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be compelled to plant it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, who has seen it growing, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs no advertising; it sells itself.

At a meeting of the Newport Horti- cultural Society, January 27, announce- ment was made that former United States Senator George Peabody Wet- more had offered the use of a lot on Bellevue avenue, corner of Leroy ave- nue, for the June exhibit to be given under the joint auspices of the society and the Newport Garden Association. A committee, consisting of President An- drew S. Meikle, Secretary William Gray and Alexander MacLellan, was ap- pointed to act with a committee from the Garden Association in arranging the details. Announcement was made that the next lecture under the joint auspices of the two associations will be given February 11 by John T. Withers, whose topic will be "A Horticultural Trip Through Europe." Mr, and Mrs. Henry J. Haas, Miss Henrietta Haas and Mr. and Mrs. Will- iam Jurgens were visitors in Providence and Boston last week. Ferdinand Chevalier, gardener, died January 29.

We are still having more dark, cloudy weather than we should have at this season of the year. The sun has been bashful of late, not letting us have a view of him for days at a stretch. This, of course, keeps the stock short and really good stock is at a premium. Busi- ness is slow at this time and the trade is unanimous in wishing for better weather. Carnations are better in both quality and quantity than they have been for the last few days. The demand for this stock is always strong. Eoses still re- main scarce and it is hard to satisfy the trade, as the demand is much greater than the supply. The cut of roses looks fine, however. Bulbous stock in general is coming in better than it has been. The supply of tulips is now about sufficient to supply the de- mand. Trumpets and daffodils are still slow in coming in. There does not seem to be any immediate prospect for more Wisconsin grown violets than we are getting at present. Various Notes. Albert Hare, with the Holton & Hun- kel Co., has been serving on the jury for the last few weeks. Last week's bowling scores will be found in the bowling column as usual. H. J. a. The wedding of Hulda Dettmann and Louis Hermening took place on the eve- ning of January 30 at the residence of A. M. Dettmann, 417 Auer avenue. The bridal couple left for California and other western points. They will reside in Milwaukee on their return. St. Marys, O. — J. J. Lawrence's 2- acre orange grove near Glenwood, Fla., this season vielded him 243 boxes of fruit, which sold for $208.

Hungaria. The ideal pink bedding Canna; flowers large, in good sized trusses, produced early, freely and continuously, in color not unlike that of the Paul Neyron Rose. Com- pared to all other pink varieties, it possesses a softness and refinement not found in any other sort; 3 to 3% feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per dcz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. Louis Reverchon. This was one of the best dark-leaved red-flowering varieties in our trials during the past three years. A block of about 2,000 plants attracted great atten- tion. The flowers are very large, of a cochineal-red color, very freely produced on vigorous plants with light bronze foliage; 4% to 5 feet. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1,000. Meteor. There are two varieties of Cannas being sold under the name of Meteor, one a German Introduction which can be bought very cheap. We offer the American variety and it is the Canna you want, as it is the best red flower- ing Canna in commerce. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. A most remarkable variety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of largest size in erect and abundantly furnished heads, so freely produced as to keep a .superb showing of bloom for months above the rich green foliage; 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1,000. Rosea GIgantea. Extra large flowers, borne in such abun- dance that the mass of color on each plant is truly amaz- ing; individual petals are 2% inches across; a deep, rich rose, almost a coral-carmine. 10 cts. each; 75 eta. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1,000. Marcs. The best white bedder, in color about the same as Mont Blanc Improved, but produces not only three or four times as many flowers, and, as the old flowers shed them- selves, it always presents a clean and tidy appearance. Maros in our fields attracted great attention, forming great broad clean bands of white. Its habit is perfect, filling every requirement of a tip- top bedder. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. Uhlberg. Entirely distinct and one of the freest-flowering varieties we have ever grown. The flowers expand very full and are of a soft rosy-carmine; the throat of the flower is of a creamy-yellow and the edges of the petals, which are slightly crimped, are also pale yellow. This variety attracted much attention at our trials; 3 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 par doz.; $25.00 per 100. Undine. Unquestionably the best of its type, and we heartily recommend it either for massing or as single specimens in the border. Its growth is dwarf and graceful, with green foliage, and its flowers, which are produced very freely, are of a bright orange-scarlet broadly edged with golden vellow; a most satisfactory variety in every way; 3% feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. William Bates. A splendid free-flowering pure yellow Canna that has attracted much attention. The size of its flowers, of its trusses, its habit of growth are all that can be desired; a variety that will become a great favorite; 5 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. The varieties Meteor and Uhlberg will be supplied in growing plants, all others in roots. Twenty-five at hundred rates; 250 or more at thousand rates. We will supply 1 each of the set of 10 Varieties for $2.00. We will supply 6 each of the set of 10 varieties for $8.00. We also have an immense stock of the standard varieties of Cannas and we shall be pleased to quote special prices on your requirements. HENRY A.

ROBERT CRAIG CO., 4900 Market St., Philadelphia M»>ntlon Thp Rpvjpw when yon wrttP. DETROIT. Various Notes. Frank Allan, gardener for E. D. Speck, of Grosse Pointe Farms, has some splendid specimens of cyclamen plants. His bulbous stock is in fine condition, and it will be worth anyone's while to visit the conservatories in his care dur- ing the spring months, when the rhodo- dendrons, lilacs, etc., are in bloom. The new home of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, on Randolph street, is rapidly nearing completion and will be practically finished for the opening March 1. Mrs. Dinser, wife of John Dinser, has been taking the baths at Mt. Clemens in an endeavor to overcome a severe at- tack of sciatic rheumatism. From the Cleveland show a number of prominent growers came to Detroit to see Carnation Philadelphia at home. Among them were August Poehlmann and Guy French, of Chicago; E. Allan Peirce, of Peirce Bros., Waltham, Mass.; Joseph Thomas, of Greensburg, Pa.; E. H. Blind, of the Blind Floral Co., Pitts- burgh; Nick Zweifel, of Milwaukee, and S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia. An- other visitor whom we had not seen for some time was H. Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. After seeing Philadelphia growing at Mt. Clemens, one of the largest growers in Chicago placed an order for 10,000 cuttings. Many smaller orders have also been received since the Cleveland show. H. S.

BRAMPTON, ONT. The Market. The cold and cloudy weather of the last fortnight has given place to the January thaw; that and the voting on the Canada temperance act, which was carried throughout the country, have been the excitements of the week. Ex- cellent bulbous stock is coming in and violets are blooming a little more freely. Eoses are scarce and are likely to re- main so for a while, but carnations are proving a good, marketable commodity, both as regards quality and quantity. Various Notes. The Dale Estate intends to plant about fifty per cent more carnations for the next season, lessening the Beauty space in consequence. Walter Calvert has already ordered the materials for an additional 400-foot house. He also intends to build a new boiler house during the summer. After a great deal of preliminary in- vestigation, the Dominion government has at last decided to inaugurate the parcel post system throughout Canada on Tuesday, February 10. The opera- tion of the system will be carried on through the postoffice inspectors of the various districts, so that the details of management will not be subject to troublesome delays through having to look to Ottawa. The postmaster gen- eral believes that this local arrange- ment will tend to greater smoothness of operation and quicker remedy of de- fects. W. G. P. MANCHESTER, MASS. The annual banquet of the North Shore Horticultural Society was held at the Manchester town hall January 21. In spite of unfavorable weather, over 200 ladies and gentlemen were present.

Your valued reply to my former questions, in The Review of January 8, under the title of ''Piping a New Jer- sey Kange," has been noted and I am greatly obliged to you. My range of greenhouses, as I stated in my first letter, consists of one detached house, 20x112, and seven connected houses, which cover a total area of 100x100 square feet. The detached house runs in the same direction as the others and would be a continuation, lengthwise, of the outside house of the solid part of the range, if not separated by the few feet of open space. The two boil- ers, only one of which is ordinarily used, are situated at one side of the connected houses and a short distance from the end of the detached house. A 314-inch flow pipe enters the house next to the boiler room, and, after run- ning through the house to the farther end, turns and runs across the ends of the other houses, so as to connect with the radiation in each house. I stated, also, that the larger boiler has one 3V:!-inch tap for the flow and one 3-inch tap for the return. I find, however, that there are two 3i/^-ineh flow openings in this boiler. In this case, how would you suggest that I run the pipes, for an open-tank system? What would you suggest, also, as a piping system for the connected houses, if you were to design the whole sys- tem, with no restrictions except the lo- cation of the boiler house and using such sizes of mains as you think would give the best service? In the house 20x112, would it be advisable to run two 21^-inch flow pipes from one 2il.- inch main from the boiler? I have just built a sash extension to the detached house. It is in the form of a lean-to and the distance from its outside wall to the eave plate of the greenhouse is forty-four inches. Can I heat this lean-to with a return pipe under the bench? I expect to use it for the propagation of chrysanthemums. H. J. R.

While two 21/j-inch flow pipds in the detached house, 20x112, can be con- nected with the 21/^-inch main which leads to the boiler, they will not be much more effectual as flow pipes than the two 2-inch pipes, but will furnish slightly more radiating surface. Un- less a generator is used, I would con- sider it advisable to run a 3-inch main to the boiler, in which case two 2^- inch flow pipes could and should be used as overhead flow pipes in the house. Unless it is possible to ream out the opening in the boiler to admit the 3-inch flow, it will answer if the present opening is used. In the house 20x112, I would use six 2-inch retarns in additioi^ to the two 2% -inch flow pipes.

It is fourteen feet high to the ridge, with two and one-half feet of concrete in the ends and glass in the upper part. On the east side is a lean-to, eight feet wide, which I want to separate from the main house by a'partition of either canvas or tar paper, so it can be easily removed. I want to maintain a temperature of 70 degrees in the lean- to, for cucumbers and propagating. There is a 2-foot concrete wall, with three feet of glass, on the east side of the lean-to. There will be a bench three and one-half feet wide along the entire front; all the rest of the space will be occupied by solid beds for cucumbers and tomatoes, to be followed by mums, so most of the pipes will have to be on the iron posts under the gut- ters. There is a row of supports under the ridge and I can either place the flow pipe there or put one under each gutter. Can it be a continuous flow or should the return be cut into two sec- tions? The boiler is at the northwest corner of the houses. The top of the boiler is eighteen inches below the level of the ground and the flow pipe rises directly into the house. Will the boiler men- tioned be able to take care of a carna- tion house 30x160, besides the present houses? A. I. A. To heat a greenhouse 22x175 feet to 60 degrees, when the outside tempera- ture is 15 degrees above zero, will re- quire one 214-inch overhead flow pipe and six l^/i-inch returns, using steam. One of the returns, at least, should be placed on each of the side walls and the others may be distributed beside the walks- While canvas or rosin-sized building paper may be used for the partition, it would be a great mistake to use tar paper, as it would have an injurious effect upon the plants. In the lean-to house use one 2-inch flow pipe and three 1^/4 -inch returns. Run the flow pipe on the partition and the returns under the propagating bed. This part of the houfft appears, from the description, to be 175 feet long, with three feet of glass in the wall and about nine feet in the lean-to roof. Arranged as sug- gested, the coils may run the entire length of the house. The proposed carnation house is to be 30x160 feet and will require one 214- inch flow pipe and seven 114-inch re- turns. As nearly as can be estimated from the data furnished, about 1,500 square feet of steam radiation will be required to heat the three houses, and for eco- nomical firing a boiler with a rating of 2,000 square feet should be used.

GILEAD POTTERY CO., Mr. GiLEAD. OHIO COLUMSUS, O. The Market. Trade has been brisk for the last two weeks and the quantity of stock in the market is surprising, considering the amount of cloudy weather we have had. There has been almost no sunshine, and the softness of some of the stock was a natural effect of this. Boses have been almost equal to the demand, except in the case of reds and Sunbursts, and as a rule the stock has been good. Most of the Killarneys have been light in color, but otherwise have been of good qual- ity. Carnations have been about equal to the demand, but have been a little soft. Bulbous stock is more plentiful; there is an abundance of narcissi and jonquils, while other varieties, such as tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, are also considerably in evidence. Sweet peas are more plentiful, but are cleaned up nicely. Valley is more abundant and finds a ready sale. Single violets are again increasing in supply, after a rest of a few weeks, and are usually picked up as soon as they come in. Double violetfl are plentiful and the demand is good. The sale of potted plants is heavy and there is a good assortment to pick from, including azaleas, cyclamens, primulas and a good lot of bulbous stock, such as potted hyacinths, daffodils, etc. Various Notes. W. W. Walker has changed his posi- tion and is now at the seed store of S. H. Wilson & Son, who will soon be in their new quarters. The Livingston Seed Co. reports that the flower trade is heavy and the seed trade is opening up somewhat, especially with the southern states. The Munk Floral Cd. says business is excellent. This firm is cutting a lot of good roses and is also handling a lot of potted plants. The Miller Flower Shop reports busi- ness as quite satisfactory. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- ting heavily on carnations and bulbous stock. Several barns have been burned to the ground at Chillicothe, O., in the last few weeks, presumably as a result of the work of incendiaries, and about a week ago Louis Elsass suffered a heavy loss, when his barn, horse and two wagons were burned. Four men have been arrested, and it is hoped that they are the guilty parties. J. M. Great Falls, Mont. — Chas A. Burrell, of the Electric City Conservatory, re- ports that January this year eclipsed this month in any previous year, so far as business is concerned, in spite of the mild weather, sometimes supposed to be a detriment to trade at this time of the year. Roses have been scarce, but other stock has been plentiful, es- pecially spring bulbous stock. The Peters & Reed Pottery Co.

Funeral work is the prin- cipal item with retailers and that has spasmodically been good. The general business is quiet and no doubt will be so for some time. Stock is exception- ally scarce and what is coming into this market is not of the best quality. Boses are almost impossible to procure here. During the recent scarcity of violets several retailers have continued han- dling California violets. They seem well pleased with results they have ob- tained. Various Notes. E. P. Holm, of Holm & Olson, has been confined to his bed for the last three weeks, suffering from an attack of bronchitis, which developed into pneu- monia. The critical stage has passed, however, and he seems to be slowly recovering. Gus. Colberg, of L. L. May & Co., has been confined to his home for the last week with a severe cold. The St. Paul Florists' Club held its first dance at the North Central Com- mercial Club's hall on the evening of February 3. Wm. Keeling, of Holm & Olson, is at St. Joseph's hospital, where he under- went an operation for appendicitis. He is getting on as well as can be expected at this time. The West Side Floral Co., of which Munich & Wahler are the proprietors, is sending in a fairly good cut of roses, about as good as are to be had now. A. Currie, Jr., of A. Currie & Co., Mil- waukee, accompanied by Mrs. Currie, spent several days here last week. Mrs. Henry A. Boardman, the owner of the Kiverside Greenhouses, will open a retail store in the St. Paul hotel about the middle of February. J. A. McLel- lan, formerly with the Flower Shop, of Minneapolis, will have charge. Ross Bragg, of Rochester, Minn., was a caller for a few davs last week. C. R. F. BOWLING AT MILWAUKEE. Name.

Now's the time to gain on Spring If you wait for the weather to start your Spring plants, the market will be gone before you have anything to offer. An eaulpment of Sunlight Double Glass Sasb should be ordered early. They provide growing conditions even in the worst weather. The ^-inch air space between the two layers of glass shuts out the cold and holds in the warmth, letting in the light and pro- tecting better than mats or boards. Ten years use has proved their success. Made of the best cyoress; glazed or repaired in half the usual time: eliminating all need of mats or shutters; making plants early without undue forcing— they are simply indispensable to obtain the best results. A new double glass greenhouse The Sunlight idea has been carried into an inexpensive greenhouse. 11 x 12, lx'24, 11x36, or 11x48 feet in size. It is made of Sunlight Double Glass Sash, which are instantly removable when the greenhouse is idle for use on hot-beds or cold-frames. Thus they serve a double purpose. Sash ordered now for Spring work may be used on a greenhouse frame ordered at your convenience for next Fall or Winter.

While good stock is still scarce and in some respects hardly sufficient for needs, still there has been a general increase in supply. The demand is fairly good, but not as firm as it was, nor is it grasping at everything offered. Prices have in many lines dropped a point. Roses continue to be the flowers most desired and all receipts of them are cleaned up quickly. Carnations are in somewhat heavier supply than they were, but the increase seems to be along the line of split stock and culls. Good ones meet with a fair market, but at lower prices than a fortnight ago. Giganteum lilies are plentiful. The narcissus market appears to be crowded with both the white and yellow stock, Freesias have been proving good prop- erty. Daffodils also continue to sell satisfactorily. Sweet peas are much more abundant, but up to this time the good ones have sold readily. The violet market is slow. The streets are a big outlet for doubles, while the singles, though still in meager supply, are ample for requirements. Valley and orchids meet with a fair call. The supply of greens is ample. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell have had .as their guests for several days Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind., and Mr, and Mrs. William Nicholson, of Framingham, Mass. E. G.

Keeler D jT is located" in the John Hancock Building, corner of Franklin and Federal Streets, being near the South Station, not far from Washington Street, and handy by to the Flower Exchange. Mr. Keeler has been with us for some time and knows our different constructions thoroughly. He also is accurately informed on constructions in general, having had the advantage of being associated with other greenhouse concerns before coming with us. Many of you already know Mr. Keeler. Those of you who don't will find him to be a frank, earnest, likable man, with whom you will find it both a satisfaction and a pleasure to do business. In the last year we have erected several iron frame houses with the rafters spaced 12 feet apart instead of 8. The glass is 20 inches wide (not 24). Not only does this modification of our standard con- struction make a lighter house, but you have also a third less columns. With houses wider than 40 feet, for those who want the fewest f^^ssible columns across the house, as well as lengthwise of it, we have our Special Lattice Rafter Construction, which has many decided advantages in its favor. Then there is our curved eave construction and the way we have successfully solved the side ventilation problem, which has always been a certain drawback to that type of construction. All these things Mr. Keeler is thoroughly informed on, and we hope you will give him the opportunity to talk them over with you. "Safety First" is, and always has been, the basic prin- ciple of our constructions. You can depend on depending on Hitchings Houses. Our catalogues you are heartily welcome to.

Only a fair volume of business was reported last week, the cut flower trade taking the lead, with a supply for all demands. The number of funerals was smaller than has been the case in sev- eral weeks, while fewer large social functions were on the calendar. Carna- tions and roses are offered in quantity, as well as of good quality, while the increasing supply of bulbous stock keeps the market in good poise. Various Notes.

The re- porter believes there is enough food for thought in this con- versation to make it worth pass- ing along. The views of one of the most successful of advertisers among florists furnish nourishing meat for those who will digest it. The scene vas a Cleveland restaurant; the dramatis peraon89 were Herman F. Knoble, of Knoble Bros., Cleveland; his friend, Frank Smith, and Mr. Brown, an acquaintance of the latter. Mr. Knoble: "Hello, Frank I How are yout" Mr. Smith: "Why, hello, Herman! Haven't seen you lately. Where 've you been?" Knoble: "Busy advertis- ing the carnation conven- tion." Smith: "Between adver- tising trade shows and con- ventions, when do you find time to keep your business going f" Knoble: "My ads in the daily papers keep my busi ness going." Smith: "It must be great to have a business like that. By the way, I want you to Knoble: "That's where you are mistaken. You are in the auditing business, I understand. What is the name of your company!" Brown (handing his card to Mr. Knoble): "I am president of the Brown Co." Knoble: "How long have you been in business?" Brown: "Six years." Knoble: "I am pretty closely in Knoble: "Now you have opened up a deep subject. But the main idea in successful ad- vertising is to create business where no busi- ness exists. Don't you believe that if a man employed an au- ditor 4)0 go over his books once a year he would be money ahead?" Brown: "There is no ques- tion about that! " Knoble: "By advertising you might convince many business men of the fact and increase your business. In the same way, Mr. Smith might give people an idea of his splendid equip- ment. You will agree with me, I hope, that there are many people in the city and many more constantly moving in who, except in rare cases, have no occasion to hear of Mr. Smith and hia Brown: "That's true." meet Mr. Brown. Who's Mr. Brown? Knoble: "How do you do, Mr. Brown? Glad to know you." Brown: "How do you do, Mr. Knoble?" Smith: "I have just en- gaged Mr. Brown, Herman, to open up a new set of books for me." Brown: "The word 'new' is superfluous. ' ' Knoble: "Well," that's a good one on you, Frank." Smith: "Yes, that ought to hold me for a while." Knoble: "When you open up this set of books for Mr. Smith, don't fail to include an account for publicity. I have often told Frank that his busi- ness could be greatly increased if he would set aside a little money each year for advertising. I honestly be- lieve his store is the best equipped in the city; you know, he invested $24,000 in service equipment alone. Yet the fact remains that not enough people know of this elaborate service to em- ploy it constantly and make it realize a sufficient return on the investment." Brown: "But newspaper advertis- ing does not work equally well for everyone. In some lines personal mag- netism and individual association are really the only means that can be used to advertise. ' ' "A man, to meet with success in business* should choose the line he finds himself in love with. "He should never allow some other business to tempt him and take him away from the business he loves. "If a man doesn't like the business he's in he oufi^ht to get out and get in one he does like, even thoug^h he might have to start on a more humble basis. "The searchlight of ambition should always be kept ahead so that no oppor- tunity to improve is overlooked." — Herman P. Knoble. Sales Talk in Print. touch with business affairs in this city and am surprised to know that you have been in business six years and I have never heard of you. If I should have occasion to use an auditor, I would call on Ernst & Ernst. Nau-Eusk & Swearingen, or the Audit Co. of America. These concerns have been repeatedly brought to my attention through their advertising. I have used two of these concerns and paid about $375 each time. Possibly you would have had that money if I had known of you." Making New Business. Brown: "In that case, Mr. Knoble, advertising would not have benefited those firms, for they would have lost where I gained." Knoble: "Now, it is up to Smith to tell these peo- ple just where he is located, the kind of service he gives and the cost and the varie- ties of stock he has to sell. He should give them a regu- lar line of sales talk about his business." Brown: "How can he do this?" Knoble: "In the daily papers, of course." Smith: "But that lowers the dignity and standing of the business." Knoble: "That talk about dignity in business amuses me. The only dignity in any business is the dignity of ex- (^ellent stock, excellent serv- ice, and modern efficiency. Not long ago, you know, it was considered undignified for banks to advertise. The frock-coated, long-whiskered gentlemen of those institu- tions were scarcely to be approached by ordinary per- sons, much less to solicit accounts from them. But times have changed. In every daily paper and in some weeklies you will find the best financial institutions bidding for $1 de- posits and offering toy banks to help you save the pennies. In the same way you find the best and most fash- ionable florists using page ads in the newspapers. ' ' Smith: "Yes, but unless you use a whole page, your ad is lost in the paper and nobody reads it. * ' Little Ads Bring Besults. Knoble: "That's where you are wrong. At this time we ordinarily use about 1,000 carnations a day, but sijice we placed a small ad in the papers, announcing a special sale of carnations, we are selling 3,000 a day, instead of 14 The Florists' Review FEBftUAHY 12, .1914. 1,000. That ought to convince you that the small ads are read-." Smith: "That's all right when you liave something to offer for a special sale, but what are you going to do when you can't offer a special sale?" Knoble: "You can tell people, as I said before, of the excellent equip- ment you have and the excellent serv- ice you give, and that the greater the volume of business, the easier it is to handle it at a smaller cost. These facts can be printed so that they are in keeping with the dignity of the profes- sion. If a customer enters your store ■when you have not a special sale on and she doesn't know exactly what she wants, the salesmen do not stand bafck and make no attempt to wait on her or to make suggestions in order to induce hel' to buy your goods. Now, so far as the dignity of the business is con- cerned, what is the difference between making suggestions and quoting prices to possible customers who come into your store, and putting down these same suggestions and prices in black and white in the daily papers, nearly every reader of which may be consid- ered as a possible customer?" . What to Say, and How. Brown: "But how will you know what to put in your ads? An adver- tising man told me only the other day that he had to treat these new kinds of advertisements in a hit-or-miss fash- ion, and depend on luck for results." Knoble: "Let me tell you, the fel- low who told you that could not have been much of an advertising man. Ad- vertising is nothing more or less than salesmanship on paper." Brown: "But salesmanship is a matter of individual ability. Each man does it in his own way. ' ' Knoble: "Do you mean to say there are no fixed rules of salesmanship?" Brown: "You must be a student of Sheldon." Knoble: "Yes, I have been, and I profited a great deal by it. But to re- turn to the subject, the fact remains that there are fixed rules in regard to selling flowers or anything else. Some men follow them unconsciously, others consciously. The main thing is, the rules are there to follow, and they will increase your business if you use them. ' ' Smith: "The question is, are the re- sults enough to pay for your time and work, and the cost of the ads?" Knoble: "How many thousands of people do you suppose there are who do not buy flowers, not because they can't afford them, but because they don't know enough about them and their cost, and have not had them brought to their attention as much as automobiles, theaters and other luxu- ries they spend money on?" Smith: "But will newspaper adver- tising reach them?" Knoble: "Did you ever know of a florist who started advertising, who stopped? That's the tip to follow. Get in the bandwagon! I'm glad of this chance to give you my views on ad- vertising. The only thing you need to convince you is a little thought about it. Well, I'll have to leave you and give you time to think. Glad to have met you, Mr. Brown. ' ' Brown: "You've half convinced me I ought to advertise, as well as our friend. ' ' Smith: "I'm going to think about it." I THE RETAIL «^^^^ | FLORIST......

Perhaps there are many retail florists who have worked up something similar, but the method of a greenhouse man on the north shore of LaJce Michigan, above Chicago, is one that has not pre- viously been described. This florist is located between two first-class sub- urban towns. The majority of the resi- dents are city people in fairly well-to- do circumstances. The florist's chief business is growing cut flowers for the city market, but, like many of his kind, he does more or less retailing at the greenhouses. In the course of time he found that many of his customers wanted regular supplies of flowers every Saturday; they wanted to spend a half dollar for the decoration of the Sunday dinner table. The result was that the florist started out on Saturdays with a basket to make deliveries to regular customers. At first he used the street car. Then the bicycle was employed. Later a horse and wagon became neces- sary. Now an automobile is used, for the Saturday route has grown to in- clude 100 customers in one town and 150 customers in the other. The florist finds himself with 250 people who take 50 cents' worth of flowers every Satur- day. Sometimes, of course, they want extra flowers, but ordinarily his deliv- eries are as regular as those of the milk- man. Short-stemmed stock will do, and the florist has his customers trained to accept whatever variety of flowers he chooses to deliver. Naturally, he uses the kind that happens to be most plenti- ful at the time. In times of high prices he is not able to make much money on a 50-cent bunch of flowers, even if deliv- ered without a box or other expensive accessories, but for at least forty-eight weeks in the year he is able to give a fairly generous bouquet and clean up good money on so big a quantity as is required to serve 250 regular customers. It seems to be a plan that is capable of development wherever a florist is suitably situated. A COUNTRY RETAILER'S RANGE. The article in The Keview for Jan- uary 8, on "Making a Flower Store Pay in a Country Town," proved to be of so much interest to the readers of the paper that the accompanying il- lustration, showing the range operated by the owner of the store, will not be without interest to them also. The greenhouses are those of F. E. Blake, of Marion, 0., whose son, B. F. Blake, is in charge of the retail store in that town. The plant now contains about 35,000 square feet of glass. It is lo- cated about one mile from the center of the town. From seven to ten men besides Mr. Blake are employed at the greenhouses, and all the stock grown here is disposed of at the store ia town. The material used in the construction of these houses was supplied by the John C. Moninger Co., and the Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co., both of Chicago, and .all of it has been found to be first-class and quite satisfactory by the owner. MORE ABOUT FUNERAL CLAIMS. In your issue of January 1 there ap- peared an article on "Claims for Fu- neral Flowers," in which it was stated that when an estate is small and the claims against it are many, the courts hold that "the whole funeral expense must be kept within the reasonable cost of a decent Christian burial." Now, I should like to know what is considered a "decent Christian burial." In December, 1909, a farmer, who was worth perhaps $10,000, died, leav- ing a widow and three grown-up chil- dren. The two sons came and ordered The Greenhouse Establishment Back of F. E. Blake's Retail Store at Marion, Ohio. Fhbruarv 12, 1914. The Florists^ Review 16 a pillow at $6.00 and a spray at $1.50. One of them stated he would pay for them the following week, and he did. The widow then went to live with the son who had acted as spokesman, but she lived less than a month. The two sons again came and asked to have the order duplicated, but stated that we should look to the estate for payment of the bill. We considered the estate good for it and sent the bill to the administrator, but I heard nothing from him until after my father's death in May, 1910, when I was appointed ad- ministrator of his estate. I pressed the heirs for a settlement and then found that the sister had objected to the pay- ment. Affairs went along in this con- dition for over a year. Finally the ad- ministrator phoned me that the money was ready, stating that the judge had ordered it paid, as it was the last re- maining claim, letting the heirs thresh the matter out later. I might state that the book of in- structions issued by the judge of the Probate court of this county to an ad- ministrator states that all claims must be paid by the administrator, provid- ing the assets hold out and none of the heirs objects. But how is the flo- rist to know or fiiid out on short notice whether all the heirs have given or will give their consent to the payment of the bill for the funeral flowers? I should like the opinions of some other florists on these matters. I might cite several other cases which, while similar, vary to a certain degree, but believe I have given enough to make my case clear. E. E. Hill. BOOSTING TELEGRAPH ORDERS. So indefatigable is Albert Pochelon in his endeavor to extend the sphere of influence of the association of which he is secretary, that he has been dubbed F. T. D. Pochelon. The Florists' Tele- graph Delivery now numbers nearly 200 members and the secretary's office is handling a large volume of correspond- ence. Mr. Pochelon recently mailed to the representative florists 1,500 circu- lars presented to the association by the McNeff-Swenson Co., reproducing the poster design which has been adopted by the F. T. D. and giving details relative to the plan of operation and member- ship. It is the intention of the directors of the association to carry on a complete advertising campaign to familiarize the general public with the fact that every F. T. D. member will accept orders for delivery in any part of the world and will guarantee perfect satisfaction to sender and receiver. This campaign will include newspaper advertising, mailing cards, folders, posters for win- dows, hotels, etc.; in fact, every form of advertising to reach the buying public. SALTFORD JOINS IN. Ed. Eeview: Allow us to compli- ment you on the efforts you are making to bring St. Valentine's day into its own. We are enclosing samples of enclosures that we send out with mail, also in flower packages. This is in addition to our regular advertising in the Foughkeepsie newspapers. The Saltford Flower Shop. W. A. Saltford, Sec'y. The enclosures of which Mr. Saltford speaks are excellent. One is a neat little blotter with February calendar. It says, "St. Valentine's day has be- The Word Flowergram is Used by Permission of Charles Henry Fox, Philadelphia. come one of the BlOr flower days of the year. This shop will be glad to send your valentines." The other en- closure is a neatly printed card that, in addition to the name, bears two sig- nificant messages: "Flowers get nearer the heart than candy. Why not dele- gate us to send your valentines?" And "Flowers by telegraph anywhere on one hour 's notice. ' ' Every retailer who features the ap- propriateness of flowers for use as val- entines thereby increases, not only his own business, but the business of the trade in general; not only for today, but for all time. The Eeview hopes every florist will help. WHY I AM A MEMBER. [A "talk" by Jacob Schiilz, of Louisville, read before a recent meeting of the Kentucky Society of Florists.] Why am I a member of the Kentucky Society of Florists? I am a member because it pays to be a member, and if it caused a loss, I assure you I would not remain a member long. The seal of Kentucky shows two men "all dressed up" clasping each other by the hand and saying, "United we stand, divided we fall." We should do likewise, be united and make the so- ciety a real helper to each member, telling our successes, failures, mishaps; trusting in the combined experience of all will be a help to each member. Co- operation is the cure for ruinous com- petition, and the history of business sustains the contention that cooperation is "the life of trade," and that com- petition is the death of it. The florists' trade has its seasons, good, medium and bad. The goods easily perish, style changes, and there is much loss of product. Now, if we can, by being members of the Ken- tucky Society of Florists, make our business pleasant and profitable, we have done much for our own good, and we have not harmed anyone. A fair profit is always legitimate. Some people decry chasing the "al- mighty dollar," but do they practice their beliefs? Watch them and you will see them doing some tall "stunts" in chasing it. See that dollar, how It glistens. Chase It; Get It if you can. If you fail to strive and get It, You wouldn't be a man. All men's effort Is for profits, Seeking for a gain. He that does not seek a profit Always Is In a "strain." We raise the plant for profit; We should sell the flower for galD. A plant that brings no profit Always gives to me a pain. 14 The Florists'' Review I'l i;i;i WW 1 :.'. I'.i 1 I l.iMio.

Allamandas which have been kept tol- erably dry for the last eight or ten weeks will now have dropped about all their foliage and will have their wood well ripened. A. Williamsi, which is the most useful variety for pot culture, succeeds well in a temperature of 60 degrees at night and is particularly useful during the summer months, when choice flowering plants in pots are not numerous. All that some plants may need will be an overhauling of the drainage, a removal of the surface soil and a good top-dressing. In other cases it may be necessary to pick the balls over with a pointed stick and remove most of the soil. This will permit their being started in smaller pots, giving them a shift when these are well filled with roots. Prune the plants back moder- ately a few days before repotting them. Large plants in pots or tubs, or such as are planted out for covering roofs of greenhouses, should also now be pruned and given a liberal top-dressing of fibrous loam, bone and dried cqw manure. While allamandas are looked upon as true tropical plants, they can be well grown in an ordinary green- house, and flowers produced in these are even finer than those seen in the hot, humid stove houses. Schizanthus. That beautiful annual, schizanthus, makes its finest display in March and April of each year. It must have at all times a cool and airy house, and, be- fore being moved into the flowering sized pots, should not get at all pot- bound. If grown cool and in a light house, comparatively little staking will be needed, but such as is required must be done before the shoots become bent or broken. In addition to their value as pot plants, schizanthus are splendid for cutting, the beautiful, orchid-like flowers having splendid keeping quali- ties, and for table centerpieces it would be difficult to find anything more beau- tiful. Our first lot of schizanthus are now in full flower, and they are useful. A late sowing has just been made; these will not flower until May, but even if they do not come along until Memorial day they will prove useful. When well established in flowering pots schizan- thus must have copious water supplies and liquid manure at least once a week in addition. Mignonette. At this season mignonette produces its finest spikes. Considerable care should be taken to disbud the shoots so as to ensure strictly first-class flowers. With the increasing sunlight we are now enjoying, beds and benches dry out a little better and there is a perceptible quickening in growth. It is well to en- courage the plants now, either with a top-dressing of sheep or cow manure, or with an application of liquid manure once in ten days. The plants must have a good water supply, as mignonette will not tolerate anything approaching dry- 3 ness at the root. It is w«ll to save seed from one or two extra fine stalks. Keep the night temperature low; 40 to 42 degrees at night is ample. Shamrocks. The seedling shamrocks should now be of sufficient size to pot off singly. They sell specially well in small pots; what are generally termed thimble pots and small thumb pots are popular sizes. They are also good sellers in little pans, in which several plants can be placed. Shamrocks want a tolerably cool house; 45 degrees is sufficient. Use care in damping them overhead; also avoid cold draughts, for they are susceptible to at- tacks of mildew, and affected plants are, of course, practically useless. Sweet-Scented Verbenas. When busy with propagation do not overlook the ever popular sweet-scented verbenas. Old plants which have been resting in a cool house can be placed in heat, freely syringed, but not given much water at the root, and they will soon give a nice crop of cuttings, which should be rubbed off with heels and placed in a propagating bench where there is a steady bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees. Under such conditions a large part of the cuttings should root, and if potted off, kept pinched and later repotted, they will make excellent stock for May sales. Heliotropes. Be sure to get a good stock of that beautiful bedding plant, the heliotrope. It roots quickly in a warm cutting bench, and from stock propagated now, fine, bushy plants in 4-inch pots can be ready for May sales. Standard helio- tropes are always attractive while in flower. Those wanted for Easter should be pinched until February 15; then let the flowers appear. If not needed until Memorial day, continue pinching up to within five weeks of that date. Seedling heliotropes possess greater vigor than those raised from cuttings, and make the finest standards. Last year small standard heliotropes in 6-inch pots met with a remarkably good sale at Easter. Scented Geraniums. In common with scented verbenas, the sweet-scented geraniums are popular. If an ample stock was propagated in fall, well and good. If this was not done, however, it is not too late to place a good batch of cuttings in the sand. These root easily and will make nice, salable plants before the middle of May. Scented geranium shoots are in demand in winter, and anyone possess- ing plants with good shoots can sell them easily. Some varieties of scented- leaved geraniums root less readily from shoots than others, and it will be found that propagation by means of pieces of root is quite effective. CABING FOR YOUNG PLANTS. If you have followed our early sug- gestions you have potted all your cut- tings, up to this time, into 2-inch pots, with a view to shifting them into 2%- inch pots in March. After February 20 I would suggest that you pot right into the 2 1^ -inch size from the. cutting bed, providing the cuttings are strong and well rooted. You will soon be getting busy "tpith your spring bedding plants, if you do anything in that line, but do not allow it to cause you to neglect your young carnation plants. Give them a light bench, where there is n6 drip. Always keep in mind that these young plants will be your blooming stock next sea- son; therefore the best of care should be given them all the time. With the early planting practiced these days, only first-class young plants stand a chance of growing into first-grade plants by benching time. After they have been potted a few weeks, stand them over, pulling any weeds that may have started and picking off any bad leaves that may be on them. Top any that have begun to run up, before they show the buds. If you have a separate house for your young stock, give them a temperature of about 48 to 50 degrees. They will do quite well, however, in the same houses with the blooming stock; only do not make the mistake of jerking the plants out of the poorest growing bench on the place, to make room for the young plants. The best bench on the place is where they belong. A. F. J. Baur. PLANTING A NEW HOUSE. I have a new greenhouse, 30x100, which I wish to plant with carnations next July. How many plants will be needed to fill the house and how far apart should they be planted? Please tell me, also, how many blooms I should be able to cut from them. The varieties are White Wonder, Victory, Mrs. C. W. Ward and Enchantress. J. G. You do not give the width of your benches, so I cannot estimate how many plants your house will hold. We plant seven plants across a 5-foot bed and set the rows ten inches apart, unless the plants are extremely large, in which case we set the rows twelve inches apart. Planted in this way; — that is, with the rows ten inches apart — a 5-foot bench, 100 feet long, will hold 840 plants. Victory can oe planted more closely, unless the plants are unusually large for that variety. Figuring eight i^BDARX 12, 1914. The Florists' Review 17 plants across a 5-foot bed would make 960 plants to the bed. The number of blooms you will cut from such a house will depend entirely on your success as a grower. A good average cut would be about twenty blooms per square foot of bench space. White Wonder will make that many easily. Enchantress should do it with- out much trouble, while Mrs. Ward and Victory might fall a little below. A. r. J. B. PLANTINa IN UNOIiAZED HOUSE. Which would be the best red, white and pink carnations for outside bloom- ing in the fall in this New Jersey climate f I am building a greenhouse for carnations and I wish to put the plants right in the soil, before glazing, and glaze the house in September. Will the plants bloom profitably without benches! The soil is clay. I have read in The Eeview about the owners of movable houses planting in that way. Which would be the best varieties of carnations for such a purpose! E. C. M. We have built several houses in the way you are planning to build yours. If your soil is good and the drainage is ample, you need have no fear of the plants not doing well. In fact, you will cut flowers of far better quality during October and November than you would from transplanted stock. The work of caring for the plants will, of course, be more tedious than if the plants were on elevated beds. Set the plants in beds, leaving walks, just the same as if you had raised beds. Any of the standard varieties will thrive under this treatment. For out- side blooming, you will find the "ISn- chantress varieties. White Wonder, Shasta and Dorothy Gordon are all good. None of the standard reds is good for this purpose, unless it be Scarlet Glow. We grow a variety of our own, which we have found satisfac- tory for this purpose. A. F. J. B. BUSINESS EMBABRASSMEITTS. Chicago, ni. — February 6 a petition in voluntary bankruptcy was filed in the U. S. District court by Arthur B. Weeks, attorney at 19 South La Salle street, on behalf of Julia A. Wratkow- sky, better known to the trade as Julia .Tegen. The schedule of liabilities showed $2,338.04 unsecured, with assets nominally $660. The claims of those in the trade, as shown by the schedule, are as follows: Poehlmann Bros. Co $1,012. 3!S A. L. Randall Co 77.86 Kennlcott Bros.

Claim is made for an exemption of $400. The liabilities include $3,700 due Foreman Bros. Banking Co., secured by a trust deed covering property owned and dated August 23, 1911. The business is among the oldest in Chicago. It was established by the late J. A. Jegen more than a quarter of a century ago and Men You Ought to Know S. A. ANDERSON. THE principal duty of the vice-president of a trade society ordinarily is to take charge of the local arrangements for the next convention, the vice-president usually being chosen from the city that is to be the next meeting place. S. A. Anderson's selection as vice-president of the American Carnation Society for the year of the convention at Buffalo insures another fine retailers' department — Mr. Anderson not only is one of Buffalo's leading retailers, but he is so affable and full of energy that he will be sure to get the retailers there to take complete advantage of the opportunity to show the flower buyers of their town not only good carnations, but how effectively good carnations can be used in decorations. No better man could have been found to carry along the work inaugurated by the retail florists at Cleveland this year. was for many years a landmark at 55 Washington street. In those days the Jegens, father and daughters, did a large volume and were among the most prosperous florists in Chicago. Follow- ing Mr. Jegen 's death a number of years ago, the business was continued by the daughters, one of whom is Mrs. Ida Jegen Bitters, the death of whose son under the wheels of an Illinois Cen- tral train at Windsor Park February 1 was chronicled in last week's issue of The Eeview. Julia A. Jegen continued the business after her marriage, remov- ing the store a few years ago to 27 North Dearborn street. BAYERSDORFER WINS CASE. In the U. S. Customs court January 22, H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, won their case with regard to the duty on immortelle wreaths. The official re- port of the case is as follows: "No. 1215. United States vs. H. Bayersdorfer & Co.; opinion by Mont- gomery, presiding judge; in an importa- tion of immortelle wreaths the collector assessed additional duties on account of undervaluation, to which the import- ers protested; the board of general ap- praisers sustained the protest of the im- porters and the decision of the board is reversed. ' ' NEED HIGHER TEMPERATURE. I am enclosing some fern leaves for examination. As soon as the leaves have grown to any size they turn brown. The plants keep sending out new leaves, but these do not amount to anything. E. C. F. The ferns appear to have been grown in too low a temperature. If the plants keep pushing up^numerous young fronds, there is nothing wrong with the roots. A low temperature and overhead water- ing along with it would produce just the results you describe. 18 The Florists^ Review Febkdary 12, 1914. PBEPABINa COMPOST. In the first part of this year I mixed some fresh cow manure with soil. Do you think this compost will be in proper shape by the last part of May I I in- tend to grow chrysanthemums in this soil. L. S. The soil mixed with fresh manure should be in good shape by the latter part of May to grow chrysanthemums, particularly if you will break down the heap and. turn it over at least once before that time. This will permit thorough mixing of the manure" and soil and get the compost in good condi- tion for planting in. C. H. Totty. LEAF BOLLEBS. Can you tell me how to kill those in- sects that lay the eggs that produce leaf rollers? They are numerous on the young chrysanthemum plants and on some carnations that were in the same house, and they are also beginning to appear on the Beauties. I know how to get rid of most of the other kinds. of pests, but not these fellows. P. M. The leaf roller seems to be particu- larly bad on chrysanthemums in P. M. 's state, Indiana, and in his section of the country generally. Personally, I have never been bothered with this pest so far, and have not had a chance to study its habits to any great extent. The Paris green and sugar solution, as used by Beauty growers, is pc^sibly the most effective for this insecti Sugar helps the Paris green to stick and the sweet- ness of it seems to attract insects of all descriptions, no matter whether they are thrips or any other of the numerous pests that infest the plants. C. H. Totty. MAY BE A SPOBT. I am forwarding to you today by par- cel post a chrysanthemum bloom which I have every reason to believe is a sport from a white variety I have been growing. It is a strong grower, reach- ing a height of three and one-half to four feet. I have had this plant for two years and it always throws the same sort of bloom; that is, in shape and color. Will you find out whether it is a new one or one that has already been named? If a new one, is it worth increasing? The plant from which this bloom was cut has not had any feeding or pampering in any way, being grown in a worn-out carnation soil. H. K. M. The chrysanthemum bloom was much wilted when I received it, so I could not identify the variety. There is no rea- son why you should not have a sport from a white variety. If it is abso- lutely identical in form and foliage it evidently is a sport, but if the foliage is diflferent I would he inclined to think it is another variety that got mixed with your stock. As a rule a white variety will sport yellow or pink, and a pink one will sport white. Look closely at the foliage and if it is identical with that of the parent, the plant is a sport; if not, it must be another variety mixed with your collection. C. H. Totty. EABLY INOUBVING WHITES. Will you kindly give me the name of some good white incurved chrysan- themum that will bloom along ■v^ith Pacific Supreme? I have grown Tou- set, but with me it runs up too tall for what head room I have. How long a stem does Clvrysolora make? F. M. The best early incurving dwarf white, . according to my mind, would be Beatrice May, which flowers at the same time as Pacific Supreme. It can be grown on the front bench or where head room is limited, as it is dvvarfer than Pacific Supreme. Another good early white is White Gloria. This, however, will grow up considerably taller than either of the other varieties mentioned, being as tall as Touset, or even taller. Chrysolora will run ap- proximately three feet from June planting. C. H. Totty. LEAF-MOLD OB PEAT? I am enclosing some leaf -mold just as it was dug from the swamp, with, the request that you kindly advise me how I shall prepare it for chrysanthemum compost for use in outside planting. I also will thank you for informa- tion in regard to preparing this mold for general potting soil. G. C. If the black soil is pure decayed leaf- mold it has value, but if it is, as in so many cases, just a deposit of dead, de- caj'ed peat its manurial quality is prac- tically nil. A mixture of one-fourth to one-third of leaf-mold in potting soil for chrysanthemums is excellent. Any excess of this quantity will tend to make the growth rather soft. If, as said before, G. C. is referring to rotted peat, his experiment station will tell him to leave it in the swamps, as it does more harm than good. The genuine leaf soil, that we rot down for two years before mixing with the soil for potting mums, is one of the best mixtures in assisting the young plants to grow. 0. H. T. POMPONS FOB EASTEBN MABKET. Please tell me which are the best white, yellow and pink pompon mums to grow for the New York market. J. G. There are many varieties of pompons that . can be grown for the New York market. The following in white, yel- low and pink are quite largely grown and are all good: White — Queen of the Whites, James Boone and Baby Mar- garet. Yellow — Baby, Zenobia and Yel- low Gem. Pink — Lillian Doty, St. Illo- ria and Viola. Pompons can be planted about ,ten inches apart, with four to eight sprays carried on each plant. If you care to take up some of the newer types of pompons, I would suggest Golden West and Golden Climax as two excellent yellows, and Beth and Euth as two good pinks. C. H. Totty. SPLENDID JEANNE "kONIN MUMS. The perfect form and spotless white of the Jeanne Nonin chrysanthemum always arouses enthusiasm, and when it is well grown, there is no white, save perhaps the magnificent Wm. Turner, that can surpass this mum. Contrary to the popular notion of beauties of the feminine gender, Jeanne Nonin has other good qualities as well, and it is the other good qualities, those of keeping well and being a good shipper, that particularly endear it to the commercial growers'. For this reason it is that Warrick Bros., of Washington, Pa., call it "one of our greatest money-makers." The illustra- tion showing a bunch of the blooms grown by Warrick Bros, gives further evidence why this variety is so good a profit-bringer. This bunch of twelve blooms measured thirty-two inches in dijoneter and came, with a large number of others, from their houses at Washing- ton, Pa. Their mums are always in prime condition for Thanksgiving and from that time on furnish a good cut for the market. Jeanne Nonin Mums Grown by Warrick Bros., Washington, Pa. Fbbbuaby 12, 1914. The Florists^ Review 19 -r. WINTERING KAISERIN OUTDOORS. We are digging some Kaiserin roses which we have been growing : under glass for summer blooming. We are placing these outdoors and covering them with pome old strawy manure. We set the roses up, bank around them with th^ manure and throw enough over the top of them to cover them two or three inches ^eep. The weather is now below freezing; would it be advisable to give them a good watering, or would a good watering while they are frozen do them harmt We are located in In- diana. W. F. & S. If the Kaiserin roses received a good, heavy watering at the time they were plunged outdoors and covered, they should not need any more attention un- til spring. As long as the plants are frozen in, they do not absorb any mois- ture; therefore it is unnecessary to give them any water until the weather mod- erates and you are ready to plant them out. W. J. K. ROSES LOSING FOLIAGE. I have a raised bench of roses that are grafted on Irish Manetti. They were planted last July and were 2-year- old stock. The varieties are Killarney, White Killarney, Richmond and Russell. The grower who preceded me here never syringed his roses. He had charge from August until Christmas. I should be glad if you could tell me what is wrong with the new foliage. The leaves have dried up at the tips and are drop- ping off. When I took charge, the roses had only about three inches of soil and the graft" was partly exposed. Was that the reason for the trouble? There was no drainage in the bottom of the benches. The plants had some red spider on them. I am enclosing some of the foliage for examination. I have maintained a temperature of 60 degrees at night an3"^T(l^grees in the daytime. My predecessor kept the temperature at 64 degrees at night and 78 degrees in the daytime. Perhaps this lowering of the temperature may have had some- thing to do with the trouble. C. C. The rose leaves which were enclosed with the letter were completely dried up and the only thing noticeable was that they bad a bad dose of red spider. No doubt this is the cause of the drop- ping of the foliage. If, as you say, there is only three inches of soil in the benches and the graft is partly un- covered, it would be advisable to fill the benches with a compost consisting of two-thirds soil and one-third rotted cow manure. Syringe the plants at every opportunity until rid of the red spider and no doubt the roses will come out all right. The temperature is all right, except that on cloudy days it should be 62 to 64 degrees. W. J. K. SUNBURST AND RUSSELL. My rose house is so small that it is impossible to keep Killarney roses free from mildew, and I have about decided to grow Sunburst and Mrs. Charles Rus- sell next season. I have had a few of both of these this year and they have been free from mildew, though the Sun- bursts have lost a good deal of foliage. They get yellow spots and dry up, and the Russells run to blind wood a good deal. In this latter case I find that by pinching I get a bud more quickly than by cutting back to hard wood. I should like to get a few general directions as to how to run these roses during the winter months, with reference to tem- perature, feeding and watering. F. D. B. If your houses, being small, are too low for Killarney, they will hardly be high enough for Sunburst or Russell, as both of these roses are tall growers. Besides, neither of them is as easy to . grow as Killarney. A pight tempera- ture of 60 degrees, with a temperature 4 degrees higher on cloudy days and 10 to 15 degrees higher on bright days, , will be all right for these roses. By reading the rose notes in The Review as they appear, you will find what in- formation you need for these as well as other varieties of roses. W. J. K. ROSE MRS. F. W. VANDERBILT. The new rose, Mrs. F. W. Vanderbilt, which is shown in the accompanying illustration, is drawing much attention on account of its attractive and novel coloring and perfect form. Its color is described by the introducers, Samuel McGredy & Son, of Portadown, Ireland, as "deep orange red, shaded bronze apricot red, quite distinct from any other rose in cultivation, a marvelously attractive variety and undoubtedly the finest hybrid tea existing in this novol scheme of coloring.". In shape and form the flower is perfect and its petals are of good depth and substance. It is de-, scribed as a "fine, strong, free grower, blooming freely throughout the entire ^season, and suitable alike for exhibition purposes,- garden culture and decorative work." In addition to having these qualities, it is also quite fragrant. In 1913 it was awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society of England. New Rose Mrs. Frederick W.

The advertisements in The Review, big or little, are alike in that they produce good results. Of course, the man who wants to command attention will use a strong display. Then his re- sults will be like this: In handing you remittance to balance my ac- count I wish to express my thanks for the busi- ness the advertisements have brought me. While I do not propose to advertise extensively in the immediate future, I shall be glad to have you acquaint me with the approaca of any special numbers, so that I may avail myself of the oppor- tunity to place an advertisement with you. — Colin Campbell, New York, N. Y., February 2, 1914. When a man has merely a surplus of stock of standard character, all he needs to do is to tell about it in the inexpensive little liners in the Classi- fied department, where everybody looks when in need of some certain item. Then the results are like this: I would advise all florists to use The Review in getting rid of their surplus stock, as it Is a busl- nesB getter, and you will hear from me again shortly. But next time I shall offer stock for sale instead of for exchange. — H. T. Neitsch, Houston, Tex., February 2, 1014. It is worth while noting that these letters, from opposite ends of the coun- try, one dealing with the results from display, and the other with the results of classified advertising, were written the same day and are unsolicited ex- pressions of the advertisers' satis- faction. LONXK)N, ONT. Wm. Dilger, of Detroit, who has done considerable landscape work in this sec- tion during the last two years, is or- ganizing a limited company to go into the nursery business. It is proposed to start with 200 acres and increase as demands require. The rapid develop- ment of fruit growing in western On- tario calls for immense quantities of stocky the bulk of which is imported, so that it is felt there is an excellent out- look for an immediate home market. G. M. Eraser, for several years with Gammage & Sons, has severed his con- nection to enter into partnership with his father in cap manufacturing. J. G. Gammage, eldest son of W. W. Gam- mage, will assume the position of sec- retary-treasurer and manage the retail store. The advent of a cut rate store in this city is causing some speculation by the storemen as to what effect it will have on their trade. Up to the present stock has not been in sufficient quantity to supply the demand. With the bulbous stock becoming plentiful, few orders are now turned away. Gammage & Sons have several thou- sand Baby Rambler and other roses that look promising for Easter. W. W. G. FORT WAYNE, IND. RALEIGH, N. C. The weather for the last month has been that of the "sunny south" in- deed, equal to that of May. Bulbous stock outside, such as Romans and Paper Whites, is coming into full bloom. The flower business in the south, while in its infancy, is increasing by leaps and bounds. The business of the month of January this year was far ahead of the same month in any previous year. We feel the relief brought by the new express rates, but there is one thing we still must work for; that is, to get the excessive duty off French and Dutch bulbs. .T. L. O'Q. The Market. The extremely low temperatures of last week affected the supply of flow- ers considerably. Roses have been off crop and have been hard to obtain, those available bringing good returns. Car- nations have not been overplentiful and the retailer has had to draw mostly on his stock of spring bulbous flowers to fill orders. Lilies have been much in demand and have met the call well. There has been much funeral work dur- ing the last few weeks and this has constituted the bulk of the trade, al- though flowers for the hospitals have had almost as large a demand. Some handsome lilacs of the Charles X and Marie Legraye varieties have been observed in the stores, as well as spring flowers. The outlook for Valen- tine's day is exceedingly good and, judging from the present aspect, a tremendous business will be transacted. Association Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Indiana State Florists' Association was held here February 3. There were fifty-two Indiana florists in attendance, which was exceptionally good and the largest meeting ever held outside the capital city. Luncheon was served at the An- thony hotel, where the business meeting was afterward held. A. N. Fierson, Inc,. of Cromwell, Conn.^ showed the new Hadley rose. It arrived in splen- did condition and gained much favor- able comment. W. R. Pierson was pres- ent. A tour of the different green- house establishments was made, where, for the most part, the florists found the stock in good shape. Miss C. B. Flick is contemplating a trip to New Orleans during the Mardi Gras the latter part of February. She will be accompanied by Miss Helen F. Patten, of the Patten Flower Shop, Toledo. R. R. F. A UNIQUE PUBLICITY PLAN. Ordinarily florists sell plants to beau- tify gardens, but Henry A, Dreer, Inc., has just made a lease of a garden to show plants. It is something entirely unique in the way of florists' advertis- ing. At Atlantic City there is a new amusement pavilion known as the Gar- den pier, which is expected to be one of the chief attractions of the ocean front. Between the board walk and the theatre, operated by Keith, is a handsome garden plot. Dreer has leased this for the purpose of making a display of plants and flowers. There are two large square plots, with a smaller cir- cular plot between. The plan is to keep these plots constantly filled to the best advantage, varying the display from time to time. The garden is close to the board walk, in plain sight, where uncounted thousands of people from all over America will pass, so that the ad- vertisement for the house of Dreer will be of a national character. The accom- panying illustration shows the garden end of the pier. LOW BATES HELP BUSINESS. After one week of experience with the new rates, operative under the order of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, the Chicago offices of the big express companies report an increase in business, while the volume of United States parcel post business has shown a slight decrease. Postmaster Campbell said: "It is only natural that we should look for a slight decrease. The express companies call for packages and insure them up to $50. It is not strange, with the new rates, that the express business shows a gain." NEW YOBIL The Market. Rainy Saturdays are monotonous in * New York. Every week since Christ- mas has ended in a downpour. Last week was no exception. This week opened with a miniature cold wave, less severe than was anticipated. Clear,, cold weather is promised now, and busi- ness is expected to show an encourag- ing improvement during the rest of February. Shipments of aH kinds of cut flowers are growing in quantity daily and while the level of prices is declining, the increase in public con- fidence is growing. The only shortage of late at all no- ticeable has been in the rose shipments, but from the present week on, indefi- nitely, there will be no cause to com- plain. Prices of all roses have fallen twenty-five per cent from last week's quotations. The finest Beauties were selling Saturday at 50 cents. The quan- tity of the newer varieties is light and this will hold them around pres- ent list prices until after the flower show. The carnation shipments are increas- ing daily; only the novelties sold above 3 cents Saturday. A further decline seems sure this week. The lower grades are booked for $1 a hundred. Lilies Gardens on Atlantic City Pier Leased for Dreer's^ Advertising. Fkbbdabx 12, 1914. The Florists' Review 21 are becoming plentiful and prices are gradually lessening. Valley is abundant and prices steady. A slight improvement is noted in se- lected gardenias. The short-stemmed stock still finds the street merchants the principal outlet. There has been no decrease in the orchid shipments, and prices are abnormally low. Even the finest cattleyas seldom go above $30 per hundred. Some splendid acacia and lilac arrive daily. There has been no uplift to the violet market and none is expected. The best singles are the favorites. There is no limit to the arrival of bulbous stock of every kind. Daffodils, espe- cially, are abundant and prices are re- ceding rapidly. Freesias and sweet peas are of exceptional quality. Every retail window is gay with forsythia. Tulips, in pots and pans, add to the springlike decorations of the windows. Club Meeting. The lecture by W. R. Cobb, sales manager for the Lord & Burnham Co., at the meeting of the New York Flo- rist's Club February 9, was on "Green- house Construction; Its Recent Devel- opment. ' ' The talk was profusely illus- trated and held the close attention of the 100 members present. The develop- ment of the^ industry from its begin- ning to the wonderful structures of to- day was graphically portrayed. Mr. Cobb received a rising vote of thanks for his delightful and instructive ad- dress. The exhibits all received the thanks of the club. Hadley rose was shown by A. N. Pierson, Inc., in such fine form that the wholesale house where they were on exhibition that afternoon was offered $1 each for them. An ex- cellent pink carnation, Mrs. C. Edward Akehurst, grown by C. Akehurst & Son, ■of White Marsh, Md., was staged by the Pennock-Meehan Co. Rosette car- nations were shown by Head's Bergen- field Nurseries, and Prince Edward car- nations were staged by A. C. Begerow, of Newark. M. C. Ebel, for the essay committee, announced the engagement of Prof. Hadley and "other lecturers of na- tional reputation" for the ensuing meetings of the year. J. B. Nugent, of the dinner commit- tee, suggested March 25 or 26 as the date of the club's annual banquet and quotations of from $3.50 to $5 per plate were reported from the leading hotels. The matter was referred back to the committee for completion. Be- cause of the flower show a large at- tendance is anticipated. F. R. Pierson, chairman of the joint committees of the New York Florists' Club and the Horticultural Society of New York, made an eloquent plea for harmony and cooperation to insure the success of the flower show March 21 to 28 at the Grand Central Palace. He told of the $11,000 worth of floor space for trade exhibits already sold, as compared with only $13,000 at the exhi- bition of 1913; also of the $12,500 pre- niium list and the desire on the com- mittee's part for special prizes. Many of the wealthy members of the Horti- cultural Society have already sub- scribed liberally five silver cups among the special announcements. The lead- ing hotels also are donating premiums. Mr, Pierson especially commended the retail florists for their splendid co- operrition and enthusiasm. It has been decided to dispose of tickets to the trade at 25 cents each in quantities of 20 to 100, and at 20 cents each for any number over 100. All members of the club will be provided with a non- transferable season pass. President Duckham spoke of last year's record and prophesied the success of the ap- proaching show. Mr. Schling sug- gested the sending of an invitation to every retail customer on the books, with the monthly statements, 6,000 of which would be his contribution. Mr. Gutt- man seconded this suggestion. E. C. Vick, of the Sun, a son of the late James Vick, of Rochester, was intro- Tfophy for Buffalo-Rochester G>ntest. duced by A. T. Bunyard and promised the best efforts of his publication in behalf of the exhibition. Five gentlemen were elected to mem- bership and addresses made by Messrs. Le Clair, Marquardt and Voigt. Those proposed were Messrs. Doering, Mo- richard, Mabie, Wolfinger, Giessler, Buerlein, Eskesen, Yoiser, Pierkowsky, Christensen and Leo Niessen and Ar- thur A. Niessen, of Philadelphia. Various Notes. The Greek- American Florists' Asso- ciation's ball takes place Friday even- ing, February 13, at Terrace Garden. Profuse decorations and a tremendous crowd, as usual, are anticipated. Last year over 2,000 participated in the grand march. Vaudeville will be en- joyed before the dancing. The sixth annual dinner of the New York and New Jersey Association of Plant Growers will be held Monday evening, February 23, at the new Hotel McAlpin, at Broadway and Thirty- fourth street. Music, vaudeville and dancing are promised. Messrs. Lehnig, Miller, Schoelzel and W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., form the dinner committee. Messrs. Wm. Mayer. Maurice Fuld, C. A. Ladiges and F. J. Le Clair were elected to membership in the New York Florists' Club Monday evening. The prospects for the spring exhibi- tion, March 21 to 28, are quite en- couraging. Over $11,000 worth of space in the trade section has been sold. But of especial interest is the fact that the leading retailers of the city are taking a practical hand in its success. Large space has been already engaged by Max Schling, George M. Stumpp, A. T. Bunyard, David Clarke's Sons, R. G. Wilson, C. C. Trepel and Alex. Warendorff. The new variegated carnation, Ma- jestic, grown by its originator, Harry Weston, vice-president of the New York Florists' Club, with stems four feet long and blooms six inches in di- ameter, are seen daily in the' windows of the Growers' Cut Flower Co., where they say they get $20 per hundred for them. L. J. Kervan, Sr., leaves this week for his annual visit to the south and will be away until May, making his home in Florida, as usual. The landscape department will be a special feature in the new enterprise of Woodrow & Marketos, at 37 West Twenty-eighth street. The firm expects to be well settled in the big store by February 15. Frank Verona and Paul Meconi have challenged John Donaldson and John Miesem, or any two members of the New York Florists' Club, to a bowling match for $50, the best seven out of thirteen games. J. K. Allen has recovered from an attack of the grip and is again at his desk. Messrs. W. E. Marshall and R. J. Irwin are back from their western trips. J. Austin Shaw. The next monthly exhibition of the Horticultural Society of New York will be held February 21, at the American Museum of Natural History. The exhi- bition committee is authorized to award special prizes for exhibits not provided for in the regular s^edule. All are in- vited therefore to bring in any inter- esting plant or flower they may have, thus adding variety to the exhibition. Schedules will be sent upon application to the secretary, George V. Nash, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Park, New York city. A meeting of the soci- ety will be held at 3:45, followed by a lecture on "Roses," by Alex Gum- ming, Jr. BOCHESTEB VS. BUFFAI.O. Florists are not the enthusiastic bowl- ers they were a few years ago, but nevertheless the sport is strengthening its hold at Buffalo and Rochester, where a series of inter-city games has been arranged, the first match to be rolled at Rochester, February 20. H. E. Bates, who, as well as being chairman of the bowling contingent at Rochester, is local manager for the Lord & Burn- ham Co., has offered a silver trophy of appropriate design, as shown in the ac- companying illustration. The game Feb- ruary 20 will be rolled on the Grand Central alleys, followed by a dinner at Hotel Eggleston. Terre Haute, Ind. — William W. Ar- nold has been granted a permit to erect a greenhouse at the corner of Barton avenue and Oak street. The house will be 18x100 feet and is expected to be in operation in about six weeks. 22 The Florists' Review t Februauv 12. 1914. THE HOOSIER FLORISTS MEET. The February meeting of the Indiana State Florists' Association was held at Fort Wayne February 3, with about forty members present.. The meeting was held in the Hotel Anthony, where dinner was served. The meeting was cut rather short, owing to the late ar- rival of President Coles. A committee composed of W. W. Coles, W. J. Vesey, Jr., John Hartje, Oliver Steinkamp, H. L. Wiegand, A. F. J. Baur, Irwin Bertermann, Theo. Dorner, E. G. Hill and Harry White was named to manage the fall show at Indianapolis. The state fair committee, composed of Oliver Steinkamp, Charles Pahud and .John Hartje, was also announced. The fol- lowing new members were elected: Herman Leitz, New Haven, Ind.; Otto Triflainger and Harry Schaff, of Van Wert, O.; T. L. Knipe, of Kokomo; M. E. Goode, of Alexandria; E. J. Lanter- nier, C, J. Lanternier and Wm. Markey, of Fort Wayne. Wallace R. Pierson, of A. N. Pierson, Inc., showed a vase of their handsome new rose, Hadley, which has all the earmarks of a winner. After the meeting the florists visited the Vesey plant, which sdows no effects of the flood they had last spring. Their stock is all in fine condition, notwith- standing the cloudy weather. A visit was also made to the Flick greenhouses, where the stock was also found in good condition. The Indiana State Florists' Associa- tion has been invited to meet with the Illinois State Florists' Association at Danville, HI., March 10 and 11, which should prove an interesting meeting. President Coles and a number of other Indiana florists are booked for an ad- ■ dress. A trolley ride to the experiment station of the Agricultural College at Urbana has been arranged, which i should prove instructive. Indiana is expected to send a good-sized delega- tion. H. L. W. From Another Member. The florists of Indiana met at Fort , Wayn* February 3, in the Anthony hotel. A short meeting was held be- fore the banquet, which was served at 1 o'clock. The business session was held directly after the banquet. The main issue at this meeting was the ap- pointing of a flower show committee, to undertake the Indianapolis fall show. The committee consists of W. W. Coles, J. Hart.ie, H. L. Wiegand, O. E. Stein- kamp, W. ,T. Vesey, Jr., A. F. J. Baur, Fred Lemon, Theo. Dorner, Irwin Ber- termann and Harry White. Wallace E. Pierson exhibited, his new rose, Hadley, and gave us an interesting talk on ad- vertising and the best way of selling held-over stock. AH the florists were greatly interested in the new rose, Had- ley. It received commendation on every side. After the meeting the visitors spent the balance of the day visiting the Vesey and Flick greenhouses. At the close of the day the entire body was entertained at Judge Vesey 's home- stead,' Miss Margaret Vesey presiding as hostess. Rugby, N. D. — N. P. Lindberg has just completed another greenhouse, mak- ing a total of twelve houses in his range. He has also erected a building which contains a large, new heating plant, a stock room, a shipping room and the business office. OBITUARY David Wirth. David Wirth, a member of the firm of Wirth & Gaupp, proprietors of the North Side Greenhouses, at Spring- field, 111., died Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 3, at his residence, 116 West Elliott avenue, of a complication of diseases. Mr. Wirth was born March 15, 1865, at Springfield, 111., where he resided all his life. He was married Septem- ber 1, 1892, to Isabelle Wiedlocher, who survives him. He is also sur- vived by two daughters, Edna and Clara Wirth; his mother, Mrs. Conrad Wirth, Sr.; one brother, Conrad Wirth; one step-brother, John Gaupp, and one sister, Mrs. Eobert Littrell, all of Springfield. He was a member of Sangamon lodge. No. 6, I. O. O. F.; Central Illi- nois Camp, No. 872, M. W. A.; Capitol Tent, No. 1, of Maccabees; Council No. 136, Yeomen of America. Harry T. Copas. Harry T. Copas, of Copas Bros., Elyria, O., died at Memorial hospital, Elyria, Monday afternoon, February 2. For the last year his health had been gradually failing and a few weeks ago he was moved to the Memorial hos- pital. Mr. Copas was born thirty-four years ago in England. He came to this country at an early age. He had been in the florists' trade in Elyria for the last ten years. Being unmarried, he made his home with his sister, Mrs. Charles F. Hupp. He was a member of the local orders of Elks. Eagles, Moose and Woodmen of the World. He is survived by five brothers and two sisters. The brothers are John, James and William Copas, of Elyria; Fred Copas, of Weldon, Colo., and Rob- ert Copas, of Kansas City, The sisters are Mrs. H. P. Harmon, of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. C. F. Hupp, of Elyria. The funeral was held Thursday after- noon, February 5, at the home of Mrs. Hupp. Interment was at Elyria ceme- tery. Mrs. H. N. Gage. Mrs. A. L. Gage, wife of H. N. Gage, the Los Angeles wholesale florist, died February 1, at the age of 29 years. She was widely known and highly es- teemed in her community and her death cast a gloom over the Los Angeles flo- rists. Her funeral, held February 3, was largely attended, and the floral offerings were notable for their quan- tity and their beauty. Mrs. Anne Kent. Mrs. Anne Kent, wife of John Kent, with C. L. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn., died at her home in South Knoxville, Wednesday, January 21. Mrs. Kent was 80 years old and had been failing in health for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Kent came to America in 1867. Mr. Kent was in the employ of the late Judge O. P. Temple and later was man- ager and landscape gardener for the famous Island Home Farm, near Knox- ville. At the age of 85 years, Mr. Kent is now in charge of the bedding plants at C. L. Baum's establishment. He has the sympathy of the members of the trade in his bereavement. Michael McNicholas. Michael McNicholas, a retired nurs- eryman of Geneva, N. Y., died at hia home on the Carter road, February 3, after an illness of three m^ nths. His widow, a son, Thomas McNicholas, and a daughter, Mrs. Daniel F. Lynch, sur- vive him. Aldert Keessen, Jr. Report comes of the death of Aldert Keessen, Jr., of the firm of W. Keessen, Jr., & Sons, proprietors of the Terra Nova Nurseries, at Aalsmeer, Holland. He was 64 years old at the time of Ma death and had many friends among the trade in his country, having been active in this work for many years. He was a member of Holland's most important horticultural society, the Nederlandsche Tuinbouw Raad. The funeral, which attracted a large attendance from those in the trade, was held at Aalsmeer, January 26. William Algie. Though an announcement of the death of William Algie appeared in The Review's obituary column last week, the following additional particu- lars with reference to his career will doubtless still be acceptable. The day of his death, February 1, was within a few weeks of the date at which his duties as co-executor of the Dale Es- tate would have terminated. As stated a week ago, he had been associated with the estate since the death of Henry Dale, the founder of the busi- ness, in 1900. Mr. Algie died suddenly at his home in Alton, at the age of 64 years. The cause of death was acute indigestion and heart disease. He was fairly well known to the trade throughout Ontario as the co- trustee with T. W, Duggan, the latter having held the position as managing director of the business since the execu- tors were appointed. Mr. Algie did not take any active part in the business, however, but was on hand regularly when matters concerning the^^firm's in- terests had to be discussed. Born at Ayr, Ont., he settled down in the vil- lage of Alton some forty years ago, and he built up a fine woolen industry, which necessitated a great deal of traveling throughout the country. His name was quite familiar to most knights of the grip, and his after-din- ner stories gained for him a reputa- tion as a raconteur that few in the Do- minion could equal. He was for many years a prominent member of the Burns Club, and the Commercial Travelers' Association and other kindred societies will miss him at their periodical gath- erings. The funeral took place at Alton on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 4, and was largely attended, a special train leaving Brampton with several employees of the Dale Estate on board. Some of the finest designs that were ever sent from the Dale Es- tate were forwarded on behalf of the deceased's admirers, over 800 cattleya orchids alone being used on this occa- sion. W. G. P.

Somerswortta, N. ■ H. — Commenting upon the snapdragon bting popular for Avinter cutting, G. S. Eamsburg men- tions that his shipments of young plants last year numbered 60,000. He has 25,000 potted up for spring delivery. A photo of a plant with forty-four shoots shows a fine specimen, although the average shows up nearly as good. He reports good returns from his ad in The Review. Washington, D. C. — Representative Slayden, of Texas, has introduced a bill to remove the botanic garden from near the capitol to Rock Creek park and for the further development of the garden under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture. The bill sets aside 400 acres in Rock Creek park for the purpose of establishing and main- taining a national arboretum and bo- tanical garden. Malta, O. — W, C. Scovell reports that business is running ahead of the corre- sponding dates of last year, a condi- tion extremely welcome after the local experiences of last March. He has some unusually fine cyclamen this sea- son, some of the orchid-flowering type having developed flowers which, he averS, are four and three-quarters inches across. Among his Primula malacoides, several plants with white flowers have been found, and he thinks this will prove a decided acquisition. Tampa, Fla.— The honor of being the first to regularly transport cut flowers by aeroplane goes to the Knull Floral Co., which sends daily shipments forty- five miles across Hillsboro bay to its branch at St. Petersburg, Fla. This airship is the only one following a defi- nite schedule and makes two trips a day. The garden annex of the company on the opposite side of the street, which has just been enlarged, is a good ad- vertisement, as it is on the loop that is traversed by every car on each trip. The company is busy booking orders for the Gasparilla ball, February 24, now the largest flower day in this state.

Perhaps some reader can send a few clippings of "Rest in Peace on Both Sides" funeral design joke that appeared weeks ago in this column — we have re- ceived only about one copy a day so far this year. C. W. Johnson says carnations ship better when the boxes are lined with manila paper than when old newspapers are used. Guy French says he never had thought of it before, but that the idea seems quite reasonable, as he has noted many newspapers contain considerable hot air. Or Cackle When a Bloom Is Bipe? "Joe Hill has his carnation plants trained down so fine that pretty soon he'll insist they punch a time clock night and morning." — Toastmaster Gra- ham at the Cleveland carnation banquet. Didn't Her Flowers Keep? A customer tells us she considers it a 'fortunate thing that the flowers in heaven are of the everlasting variety, as it is obvious that there will be no florists there to look after them. — B. P. Eight Weeks Awash? A retailer is reported to have put this tag on his Christmas azaleas: "You can keep me in bloom eight weeks by placing me in the bath tub and letting the water run over my pot. ' ' But the family might need the tub be- fore the azalea was out of bloom. Something Bare. The recent scarcity of good bulbous stock inspired the following quip: Wealthy young man, entering flower store: "I wrfnt to give a young lady a bouquet; something swell." Florist: "What about giving her a daffodil? We -heard of one being In bloom this morning. Of course If you didn't want to give anything quite so expensive, we could make you up a bunch of about a dozen orchids." Insulted the Irishman. In the days when the American Pro- tective Association was thoroughly hated by every good Irishman, for the organization's anti-Catholic policy, a warm son of Erin, whose father had died, placed an order with a florist for a pillow with the word "papa" inscribed on it in large gold letters. As the Hon. Patrick Casey was a per- son of some importance and influence, the florist outdid himself in his effort to make good. On the day of the funeral the pillow was packed and delivered with the utmost care. Imagine the surprise of the florist, therefore, when not ten minutes after the order had been de- livered, the Irishman came into the shop in a great rage, threatening to wreck the place. When he had some- what subsided the florist was able to examine the pillow and read on it in large gold letters, A P A. The first letter of the word had dropped off. ••• NEWS NOTES ••• Woodfords, Me.— L. C. Goddard finds ten weeks' stocks a paying crop for Memorial day and gives as much space as possible to them.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce acted as toastmaster and prominent men of the cityi^spoke. The florists of Houston are boosting trade with the slogan "Clean Up and Plant Some- thing." Mobile, Ala. — At its January meet- ing the Mobil s Floral and Horticultural Society adopted the suggestion that a question box be placed in the down- town section in which questions on floriculture might be dropped and later answered oy the society. George E. Kittle, of G. Van Antwerp & Son, seedsmen, who is secretary of the so- ciety, is to receive the questions sent, by mail. H. P. Loding, president of the society, believes this plan will arouse the interest of the public to the benefit of the trade. Biddcford, Me.— C. S. Strout returned well pleased with his success at the Cleveland show. One might call this the home of Pink Delight, for it proves more productive when carried over the second season than some varieties of carnations do during the first. White Winsor is a favorite with the commis- sion men, as it is an excellent shipper. Enchantress Supreme is supplanting the old variety. White Wonder, Benora and Pocahontas complete the list. Prospects look rosy, as three acres of adjoining property have been secured with the view of erecting more glass. There is no propagating ^ouse, as the method of growing cuttings in the same house with equal temperature is most satis- factory. 24 The Florists^ Review Pbbbuabt 12, 1914.

It pays to keep one's eye on the ' ' Wanted ' ' ads in the Classified depart- ment of The Review; there are a lot of chances there to make a sale. The popular demand that plants and seeds be made mailable at the zone rates of the parcel post will be answered in the near future by. an act of Congress. Almost everyone agrees that the bet- ter policy is to refrain from selling to those who do not pay regularly, but the number who possess the decisiveness of character to adhere to such a policy is markedly less. There are reports that the Mrs. Rus- sell rose of late has not been perform- ing so satisfactorily as it did in the early part of the season. As most of those who planted it have their plants cut down for wood, its .winter blooming qualities will not be widely tested until next season. WHO CAN ANSWER? I should like to inquire through The Review if anyone can tell me wliere I can procure seeds or plants of Torenia Asiatica. The American catalogues, so far as I have access to them, do not list this variety. I have tried to get it through several large European houses, but without success. Possibly some reader of The Review knows where this rare plant is to be obtained. John Gerard. COBBESFONDENTS. The Review is in position to use weekly or biweekly news letters from the following cities: Baltimore Utica Minneapolis Syracuse Omaha Albany Buffalo Louisville Correspondents should be those whose daily duties take them out among the trade. OHIOAOO. The Great Central Market. - A conservative gentleman remarked of last week 's market that It was in a comatose condition, a state of suspended animation, insofar as demand was con- cerned, while one more radical in his views characterized the market as dead. While the demand for flowers never really dies, it probably is true that the week ending February 7 was the poor- est of 1914 to date in the matter of total value of sales, the increased sup- ply of stock not sufficing to overcome the declining average price. No one seems able to account for the unex- pected decrease in demand, although the high prices and low quality of the stock through January no doubt was in some measure responsible. It has happened before that buyers would give up just at the moment the market loosened up after a protracted period of stringency. Unquestionably orders will come in freely again once the buy- ers realize that good quality flowers again are to be had without difficulty at prices that let the retailers do busi ness easily and at a fair margin of profit. As a matter of fact, some of the rapid-fire local retailers advertised rose sales last week, oflPering at $2 and $2.50 per dozen stock that would have cost the lower figure a fortnight ago. The arrival o* the first zero weather of the season February 8 did nothing to improve the situation at the mo- ment, but settled, seasonable winter weather will no doubt benefit many lines of business, that of florists among them. Quality has been improved all along the line as the result of a little <;lear, cold weather. Roses are not only com- ing into crop again after the usual post-Christmas intermission, but the quality is much better than it was, and prices are easier. One may still pay as much money for a rose, but he gets a far better rose. Considering the small quantities planted, Richmond seems to be relatively more plentiful than other roses, although there is no difficulty in getting all the long roses one wants of any variety if one but speaks early enough in the day. The supply is not yet large enough so that a full line always is to be found in every ice-box. Long Beauties have shared in the general improvement in quality, and there are larger supplies of short Beauties, but he is a thought- less man who expects short Beauties to be of anything better than mediocre quality at this time of year. More favorable weather has im- proved the average quality of carna- tions, but the spread in values con- tinues wide. Some carnations are well worth 4 cents, while others are dif- ficult to sell at one-fourth the price. There are indications that returns to carnation growers will decrease rap- idly as the cut of roses increases. The principal change in the supply since last report has been in bulbous stock. Daffodils have come to rein- force the jonquils, which have them- selves become an army. There also has been a large accession to the ranks of the tulips, which now include all col- ors. Sweet peas, too, have increased but not so fast as was expected; the flood is overdue. Last week there were a great many more violets than there Fbbsuaby 12, 1914.

The price of cattleyas will firm up promptly upon the reappear- an(;e of demand, as the supply of good stock no longer is excessive. Valley continues to sell as well as anything else on the list. There is no special change in the green goods situation. There are all the ferns anyone wants at the price. Adiantum continues weak, Mexican ivy being so largely used in its place. Galax is plentiful. Few asparagus strings are to be had and they seldom are asked for, although asparagus sprays, mostly from Florida, sell steadily. St. Valentine's Prospect. Most of the wholesalers said early in the week that they were disappointed with the number of orders booked for St. Valentine's day. Last year the business doubled, as compared with 1912. Another increase has been con- fidently expected this year.

It is expected that Fri- day, February 13, will be an extremely busy day with telegraph orders. The Hadley Bose. Chicago growers seem to think the new crimson rose, Hadley, will make a hit; at least, it is being bought in considerable quantity for this market. The rose is a new color, fiery crimson. It comes from the same originators as Mrs. Russell, the Montgomery interests near Boston, although it is being put on the market by A. N. Pierson, Inc. Mr. Montgomery raised a number of seedlings more or less of this color, but thought Hadley much the best. He had not planned putting Hadley on the market this year, but decided to go ahead on short notice when he found others were working up stocks of crim- son roses, some of them by rooting wood of his own seedlings obtained through his sales of cut flowers. When Hadley was offered 10,000 were ordered Febbuary 12, 1914.

Others also are or- dering, so that over 20,000 will be planted here next season. New Construction Contractor. Believing that there is a good field for someone equipped to erect green- houses on contract, George Willens has et.irted in that branch of the business under the name of the Willens Con- struction Co. His headquarters are at 1527 South Spaulding avenue. Mr. Wil- lens was until recently an estimator for the John C. Moninger Co., and pre- viously had been employed by the Foley Mfg. Co. For the present he expects to confine his operations to the erection of greenhouses under contract, for he has in mind a number of new ideas on greenhouse construction and may even- tually start manufacturing greenhQi^se material. He is a young man of earnest purpose and should succeed. Various Notes. The secretary of state has licensed the organization of the Ickes-Braun Mill Co., the capital of $30,000 being fully paid in. Carl Ickes, who is the moving spirit in the matter, says con- tracts for the building have been let, orders for the machinery have been placed and the expectation is that the new plant will be turning out green- house materials in April or, at latest, in May. A neat monthly calendar is sent to 100 of her customers by M. C. Gunter- berg, who says it appears to be a good way of letting people know their pat- ronage is appreciated.

That the shipping and keeping quali- ties of violets largely" depend on the stage at which the blooms are picked is the belief of Charles Erne, who says Erne & Klingel note a distinct differ- ence in the condition of the Hudson river stock that is picked before being fully developed; it arrives much better than do the flowers left to fully develop on the plants.

Heavy receipts of daffodils and sweet peas caused a fall in prices last week. The market was unable to consume at fair prices all the dafifs and peas that were offered. Daffs fell sharply, while the shorter grades of peas suffered most. The quantity of both these flowers that was sold was surprisingly large. Daffodils always are popular. The heavy cut so early in the season is due to the use of French bulbs, which force earlier than the Dutch. The orchid or Spencer type of sweet peas have so far been preferred to the winter-flowering sorts, although all varieties are in favor. The wintery western weather has cut down production, putting activity into the market that was missing a week ago. There is an excellent amount of business, with prices fairly easy. Beau- ties have become more plentiful. White roses have been scarcer than any of the other smaller-flowered sorts. Carna- tions have developed more splits than at any time this season. The crops are not hieavy and prices on good stock are a little firmer. Valley has been dull and rather hard to sell. Paper Whites and free^ias aYe in good demand, but tulips are not. Violets are depressed. Orchids are less in evidence than a ■vteek ago, but Cattloya Schroederiana '.3 coming in more freely, Cattleya Tri- anfe less so. The pink spray orchid, Oncidium Schillerjanum, makes an ex- cellent foil for Oncidium splendidum. .Dendrobium formosum can be had in BERGER BROS.

The Market. Pittsburgh is in the midst of a bliz- zard. The weather last week was not so bad, but business seemed to slump for some reason. Beauties are still scarce, but roses are gradually getting more plentiful, although they are still short of the demand. All other stock is quite plentiful; bulbous stock and violets are a glut, more coming in than the market will take care of. The wholesale houses complained about the slump in trade, which probably was due to larger receipts rather than to a slump in prices. The retail shops are all looking fine these days. Since they have the bas- kets with the zinc liners, all are ar- ranging baskets of flowers for window decoration, and there are some fine effects shown. Club Meeting. The Florists ' Club met Tuesday even- ing, February 3. The following officers were elected: President, Ssfeil McCal- lum; vice-president, E.Hx iReineman; secretary, 11. P. Joslin, li^levue. Pa.; treasurer, T. P. Langhans/and assistant secretary, W. A. Clarke. ' There were some exhibit of plants and flowers shown by local growers, but the important feature was anjillustrated lecture on the practical us(( of explo^ sives for farming and gardening, by E. Rutledge, Jr., of Coraopolis, Pa. Mr. Rutledge will willingly give this lec- ture or practical demonstrations to any society within reach of this city, if the society will look after his transporta- tion.

Colyn, of C. Colyn & Sons, Voorhout, Holland, who is a member of the club, being present, gave a most instructive talk on the subject, as only one who has grown up in the business could do. He explained the business almost from its inception to date, giv- ing much inside information as to why some make failures in growing bulbs in this country and assuring all they should be able to make money growing them. Various Notes. The McCallum Co. has leased the building next to its present location and is busy moving. The company will have a more convenient store room for handling its trade, as well as more room for the various side lines of wirework and supplies. The Homestead Cut Flower Co. has sold its store in Homestead, Pa., to J. M. Johnston, of McKeesport. This will give Mr. Johnston three stores, the other two being at Braddock and Mc- Keesport. A. C. Miller, who has stores in Home- stead and Duquesne, reports trade satis- factory since the first of the month, al- though January was a little slow. A large part of the business in t^ese towns is funeral work. W. Drews reports business in Brad- dock, Fa., booming. He has a large line of funeral work from Braddock and the adjoining towns.

Sweet peas are plenti- ful now and the demand good, with top prices at 75 cents for extra long fancy. These, too, should be in big demand at the end of this week. Asparagus, smilaz and ferns are abundant and the demand good. Various Notes. E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock- | Meehan Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade last week in the interest of his firm, with good success. 6. M. Thost and his son, of De Soto, Mo., who consign their stock to the "Windier Wholesale Floral Co., spent a day in the wholesale district Febru- ary 5. S. A.

All of our local seedsmen are now busj' mailing their spring catalogues. The recent cold snap made things rather dull in counter sales. The display rooms of the Kewanee Boiler Co., of Kewanee, 111., at Twelfth and Olive streets have been done away with, and the office has been moved to 1205 Chemical building, with Otto Dieckman as manager. The coldest weather this winter came on short notice February 6 and, with a 40-mile gale blowing all night, taxed the capacity of our local growers' boil- ers, but no damage was reported, ex- cept that a number of consignments came in frozen February 7. Oliver K. Sanders, manager of the Sanders Nursery's retail store, on Clara avenue, reports a good run of society work of late. C. C. Sanders says he expects a good trade in nursery stock when the weather opens up. Henry Berning handled a nice lot of bulbous consignments last week, which included Von Sions, jonquils arid tulips, all of good quality. The supply prom- ises to be as large for this week. The County Growers' Association held an interesting meeting February 4 at the Eleven Mile House. President Vennemann presided and some inter- esting discussions took place.

They are used for table decora- tions and are quite attractive. There seems to be some prospect for a fall flower show at present. The pub- licity committee is, at present, undi- vided as to the advisability of holding one. The Florists' Club meeting this week will undoubtedly decide the ques- tion. ' The west end and south end florists are all making attractive St. Valen- tine's day window displays and expect a large business for that day. The Ketail Florists' Association will hold its regular monthly meeting Feb- ruary 16 at Beers' hotel. The annual banquet will take place sometime this month. The Tree-Planting League held a meeting last week and decided on the planting of several thousand sycamore and maple trees as soon as the weather opens. The league will be assisted by City Forester Julius Koenig in this work. The Grand avenue florists are making unusually attractive window displays for St. Valentine's day. Among the most noted are those of M. M. Ayres, K. J. Windier, Schoenle Floral Co. and C. Bergstermann. They all have a number of advance orders booked. Dwight Davis, our park commission- er, was in Chicago last week showing his skill as a racquet player. With his partner, he won in the doubles.

The usual bunting decorations were not allowed this year, thanks to Frank Eobinson, the manager. The Florists' Club publicity commit- tee held a special meeting at the home of R. J. Windier, chairman, on Mag- nolia avenue, February 8. After a good deal of discussion it was decided to can- vass the trade in regard to a fall flower show. A full report of this meeting will be made at the club meeting this week. A number of suburban growers vis- ited the wholesale district last week. They were Geo. Hecht, Paul Scheider, Hugo Werner, W. J. Pilcher. H. Emunds, Edwin Denker, John Connon, Joe Hauser, W. A. Rowe, P. Schneider. Hugo Gross, Geo. Madsen, Geo. Hart- man, A. Jablonsky, Jr., G. M. Thost, A. Ahner, A. Meyer and K. Wolzburger. J. J. B. BUTFALO, N. T. The Market. The weather lately has been change- able, with little sunshine; stock, there- fore, has not been overabundant. Roses are scarce. Eallarney and White Kil- larney are poor at this time of the year. Milady is good, as is also Mrs. Aaron Ward, but Lady Hillingdon is scarce. Carnations are not so good as they hav6 been. The choice crop was cut for Mc- Kinley day. Cut white lilac is rather plentiful for so early in the season. Cattleyas are selling well and the sup- ply is good. Lilies of the valley are fine. There is an abundance of bulbous stock, such as tulips, in red, yellow. Orders solicited for all parts of Connecticut Hartford, Conn.

Trade, which has been rather quiet since the first of the year, is pick- ing up gradually, and last week was a good, busy week. Flowering plants are moving at a strong pace at present. There are good lilacs, cyclamens, aza- leas, a few primroses, potted tulips and daffodils. Boston ferns are also selling well. Various Notes. The regular meeting of the Buffalo Florists' Club was held Tuesday even- ing, February 3, with a large attend- ance. Prof. White, of the floricultural department of Cornell University, was present and invited all the members of the club to visit the state florists' con- vention, to be held in Ithaca next month. Leon Neubeck read a paper on "Fertilizers," which was excellent and started a lengthy discussion. Lunch was served at the close of the meeting. The new indirect electric lighting sys- tem, which was installed in W. J. Palmer & Son's branch store recently, is giving splendid satisfaction. Special sales for Saturdays are quite the thing now, since bulbous stock and violets are plentiful. William L. Keller and George B. Hart, of Rochester, called on the trade here recently. The trade congratulates William F, Kasting upon his appointment as post- master. His desk and office were liter- ally loaded with floral tributes from his many friends. S. A. Anderson had an elegant win- dow display last week. It consisted of daffodils in pots with yellow pot covers and fronds of polypodium mingled here and there. The firm has been execut- HOUSTON.

The United States Seed Co., of San Antonio, Tex., has obtained a permit to do business in tiie state of Missouri and will establish an office in St. Louis soon. The rainfall in the Lompoc valley of California to January 26 was 18.46 inches. All along the coast reports in- dicate damage to crops by excessive rains. The Hubert Bulb Co., of Norfolk, Va., has been awarded the contract for supplying bulbs, seeds, plants and orna- mental trees to the United States Naval hospital at Norfolk. There are about 100 Holland bulb travelers aliroad in the land and there is not one of them who will admit that busi- ness is not the best ever. It seems to be against the ethics of the guild ever to acknowledge that orders are less easily come at. A VNiyUE feature of the 191-4 general catalogue of A. C. Kendel, Cleveland, now on the press, is a garden record blank. Pages bound in the book are ap- propriately headed and ruled for a com- plete record of one's gardening opera- tion: varieties, dates of planting, dis- tances apart, dates of maturity, produc- tion, and other details.

Sec. 2. That hereafter the postage rate on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions, and plants shall be governed by the parcel post rates. All the bills to put seeds and plants into the parcel post zone rate system have been referred to the committees on postoffice and post roads. No doubt a public hearing will be granted be- fore any bill is recommended for pas- sage. CANNERS USE MANY SEEDS. The importance of the canners' trade to the seed sellers was shown by W. C. Langbridge, of Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., in his address as president of the Machinery and Supplies Association, at the opening of last week's canners' convention at Baltimore. "While I have no official statistics at hand, ' ' said Mr. Langbridge, " I am informed that twenty years ago the entire output of canned peas in the United States did not exceed 250,000 cases annually, or 6,000,000 cans, while in 1913 the pack was nearly 9,000,000 cases or upward of 200,000,000 cans. The corn pack of 1913, which was the smallest in many years, and little more than half that of 1912, amounted to 7,300,000 cases or 175,000,000 cans. The tomato pack of 1913 was 14,200,000 cases or 342,545,000 cans. These are the three leading items in canned vege- tables, but many more millions of cases of miscellaneous items were packed. ' ' Surely, to produce 200,000,000 cans of peas requires some little seed. Mr. Langbridge, who is widely known in the seed trade because of his travels in the interest of the Jerome B. Rice Co., was unanimously reelected presi- dent of the Machinery and Supplies Association. GALLOWAY ON FREE SEEDS. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture B. T. Galloway recently explained to the house committee on agriculture the reason for recommending the discon- tinuance of the congressional free seed idistribution. The new estimate was $175,000 for new and rare seeds. Of this, $100,000 will be appropriated for the purchase and distribution of new and rare seeds, $55,000 for the investi- gation and improvement of grasses, clover and other forage crops, and $20,- 000 for the propagation and testing of rare and new seeds. In this item were consolidated the dry-land seed, the forage crop work and the congres- sional seed work. He said the con- gressional seed distribution had been handled for ten or fifteen years "so as to make it a credit to the depart- ment." The department had tried to get the best seeds available and he thought it had succeeded. "The seeds we are sending out are good, as good as any that can be obtained in the «>ountry, " he said. The time had come to decide whether it was proper to con- tinue the work or whether enough of that work had been done and it was wise to turn the money into some other field of activity. A statement filed by Dr. Galloway said: "We desire to have the committee understand that we are not urging this new plan of handling the seed work. We believe the work that has been go- ing on in the distribution of miscel- laneous vegetable and flower seeds "SUPERB QUALITY" Flower **Seeds for Florists'' Sixty Yaara of Satisfactory Sorvice The VERY BEST in everything that we offer.

For the planter who "knows" it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the grower who is uncertain as to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye ® placed after what is knov^ to be best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valuable varieties. BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1914 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftones and engraved illustrations. Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years both in handling and the actual growing of seeds. If you garden for profit (that is. sell your products in the market), you are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily understood catalogue, but if you are a private planter please do not ask for a copy, as we must protect the Market Gardener.

Jt was thought from the expressions made last year iu Congress that the time had arrived when this type of work might be aban- doned antl another line inaugurated. If the fomniittee desires to continue the work as formerly conducted, the de- partment will exercise every precau- tion to have the work done well. The work is now on a good business basis. The best seeds obtainable are secured and every precaution is adopted in order that only good seeds may be sent out." E. H. P. KELWAY ON BOARD. Kehvay & Son, the well-known P^nglish seed growers, have addressed the fol- lowing letter to a number of leading American seed and nursery firms: We should like to call the attention of leading Aineiican seedsmen and uiirserynien to the Anglo- American Exposition, London, 1914. The exposition Is planned to commemorate IfK' years of jieace lietwcen, and of pioRn ss in tlie arts of, our respective countries, and it is hoped to bring about an adequate representation of American and British horticulture in tiie beauti- ful grounds and buildings of tlie White City, near London. Owing to the connection of our firm with the seed trade of your country and to the fact that our Mr. James Kelway Is a member of the execu- tive of the horticulture, arboriculture and forestry committee, we feel particular interest in sending this reminder, and we hope that you will wish to be represented by an exhibit, which we feel sure will be heartily welcomed on this side. The address of tlie American Executive Com- mittee is: AngIo-.\inericnn Exposition. Wool- worth Building, New York city. ANOTHER BILL TO LOWER RATES. Kepresentative TribMfe, of Georgia, has introduced a bill in Congress to reduce the postage rates on agricul- tural, horticultural and dairy products by applying the parcel post to such ar- ticles. The bill authorizes the post- oflSce department to transport as mail, parcels of agricultural, horticultural, dairy and poultry products up to fif- teen pounds in weight, at the rate of 2 cents for the first pound or fraction thereof and 1 cent for each additional pound or fraction of a pound.

When the seedsman visitor at the Chicago headquarters of the Leonard Seed Co. inquires for the chief, the chances are better than even that he will be piloted upstairs to a big room made small by the fact that it is al- most completely filled by row upon row of sweet corn drying on hangers. There, in a space by the window that gives him just enough room to work, S. F. Leonard is busy day after day sorting and resorting the stock seed ears of his new Narrow-grained Ever- green corn. It is so much the usual thing for the man with the novelty to be all wound up with it that the visitor is quite prepared to find Mr. Leonard more deeply interested in it than in most other things. But Mr. Leonard is not the only one interested in the Narrow- grained Evergreen; over 100 canners are planting it for trial this season and the quantity offered for sale was quickly taken up. It looks like a good thing for many, and when W. W. Tracy visited Mr. Leonard's selecting room a few weeks ago he picked out an ear that he said was, he thought, the most $ NOW READY FOR DELIVERY BUY DIRECT AND SAVE MONEY All stock is guaraDteed to be as represented. $ BEQONIAS, tuberous-rooted, in separate colors.

The kernels not only are long but are re- markably free from starch, one of the disadvantages of Stowell's Evergreen from a canner's point of view. Mr. Leonard thinks the narrow-grained strain will be widely used by canners who have been using the old type of Evergreen and that it will also be used by many who have used Country Gen- tleman. The latter is not so easily placed with farmers in some sections, because Evergreen yields more heavily and, making a larger stalk, leaves the farmer more feed than he gets from Country Gentleman.

I have some tomato plants which I rooted from top cuttings taken from jny early ones, which were in full crop. Will these plants he as good to put on the benches as the ones grown from ^eed ? W. F. G. Tomato plants from cuttings will •come into bearing earlier than those raised from seed. However, they have not the vigor or productive qualities of seedlings. The same holds good of cucumbers. The fruit will average con- siderably smaller than that produced on seedlings. C. W. SWEET POTATOES. Will you be so kind as to give me a few hints in regard to raising sweet potatoes in the greenhouses, so I can j)ropagate cuttings from themf Please advise as to whether or not the tubers lould be started under a light bench; name the best varieties and the time to start them; in fact, give all direc- tions. There is a big demand for sweet ])otatoes here and, as I have had no ex- jierience with them, the information will be greatly appreciated. F. W. M. &weet potatoes cannot be successfully started under a greenhouse bench. They should be started on the bench itself, or in a hotbed. The last named is a satisfactory and generally adopted plan of propagation, as the stimulus from the warm manure will soon start a nice root action and growths will speedily follow. Lay the tubers in a single layer all over tlie bench (one with some heating pipes below will be the most satisfactory) and then cover with three ■or four inches of light compost. Soon a thick mat of slips will cover the bed. These are carefully removed from the tubers and used to plant out in the fields, eighteen to twenty-four Inches apart in the rows, running the rows four feet apart. The smallest sized slips give just as satisfactory results as the larger ones. Two crops of cuttings can be taken off, and a bushel of roots will yield 2,500 to 5,000 cuttings.

This Album was published in response to many requests from Florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book to be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it is not practicable to show the customer the finished arti- cle as it will be when ready for use. With this Album you can show the finished work, in beautifully printed pictures.

ORNAMENTING AN EXPOSITION. The work of beautifying the grounds of the 1915 exposition at San Francisco is well under way. A glimpse of the place where the greater part of the work is done, showing how far the work has progressed, may be obtained from the accompanying illustration. In one corner of the Presidio military reser- vation, just south of San Frandisco, John McLaren and his assistants are experimenting and planning, and there they are growing the trees, shrubs and plants with which they intend to make the horticultural effects of the exposi- tion the greatest ever produced. An out- line of their plans was given in the nursery department of The Review for December 18, 1913. A more detailed account is impossible at this early date, for experiments are still going on and the plans will not be fixed until the planting is completed. Two interesting features in the oper- ations at this horticultural workshop may be noted in the illustration. One is the manner in which the large speci- men trees are boxed. The trees are first side-boxed, and after the roots have been cut three inches of space is allowed between the ball and the sides of the box. This three inches of space is filled with good surface soil in order to start root action. The plants are mulched and watered for a period of from four to six months, and then the bottom of the box is put on. This method has been found quite success- ful in transplanting large trees. The other feature is the columns or pillars, of living green foliage which are being attempted. Several of these in the experimental stage are shown in the illustration. These columns are faced with long, narrow boxes of soil. In order that the soil may not fall out when the boxes are placed in position, a wire screen is fastened over it and the young shoots trained through the network. In order, too, that the soil may not be washed out by watering in the usual way, the water is allowed to seep through from the back, or base, of the boxes. How successful this plan will be cannot be yet determined, but no efforts are spared in the attempt to produce the unique effects which will be possible by this method. LOS ANGELES. The lilarket. Stock has decreased in supply consid- erably in the last few days, owing to the cold nights and dull days. Both indoor and outdoor flowers have felt the depression. Roses from under glass are improving with the lengthening days; so are indoor carnations, but the outdoor carnations are poor. Violets are plentiful and good.

CECILE BRUNNER We are shipping buds to Chicago, SIX DAYS* JOURNEY, arriving In good condition, 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 through- out 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, bouton- nieres, 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 PORMANT PLANTS NOW READY TO SHIP Good plants for early Spring and Summer growing delivered anywhere in the United States or Canada for 2%-inch pots, $7.50 per 100, $60.00 per 1000 3-inch pots, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 E.

The early flow- ering almonds, peaches, cherries and other fruit help to brighten up the stores and make a change. Business is only fair and collections •continue to be troublesome. One re- tailer said he had more than twice as much on his books this year as last, al- though the total amount of business done was not up to last year's record. The tie-up on the railways continues and it proves a great hindrance to busi- ness, as much of the freight and ex- press is held up. Various Notes. A. Borden, of the Eedondo Floral Co., recently leased his Hollywood green- houses for a term of years, thus letting out J. Dekema, formerly of Jensen & Dekema, Chicago, who is now with Anton Soethout, of the Hollywood nurs- eries. Howard & Smith are building a new range of propagating houses at the Montebello nursery. Trade has been good at the retail store, where an ele- gant display is kept up at all times. A window decoration of nothing but Acacia Baileyana and golden yellow rib- bon was a great success last week at the store of O. C. Saakes. The peculiar gray green of this plant harmonizes well with the golden yellow flowers, and it was at once a simple but strikingly handsome window. J. Reeves, of the Beverly Hills Nurs- ery, has been suffering with acute rheu- matism. Though he is now able to be around, he is still far from his usual robust health.

Roses are coming in a little better in quantity as well as in quality; a few days of sunshine have wrought M'ouders. Carnations are still scarce, with a steady demand. Valley has been exceptionally fine this season. Orchids are plentiful, especially cat- tleyas. Easter lilies have moved well this season. Callas, while rather scarce, have been used considerably. Tulips, narcissi, freesias, mignonette and daf- fodils move the best of anything and are used a great deal in table decorat- ing. White lilac, while scarce, has proved a good seller. Various Notes. Louis Sanders, the orchid specialist, of Belgium, called on the trade last week. He reports business satisfactory so far. We seldom meet so interesting a man and one so willing to impart such valuable information on the orchid in- dustry. Eujjflne O'Hara, who was for many ypm-s manager of the nursery depart- ment of the Portland Seed Co., has re- signed his position and will take a trip to San Diego, Cal. He will return later and take up a position with one of the local florists. Hans Niklas has left on his wedding trip to British Columbia, Miss Lena Amacher being the lucky girl. Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, is calling on the local trade this week with an extensive line of novelties.

Mr. Bodley is at a loss what to do, as he has improve- ments and considerable glass on the land, and to stock up now might incur a large loss if the deal goes through. A. Byron has the finest double violets in this . section, which are eagerly snapped up by particular customers. Mid-year graduations in the high schools took place last week and cre- ated a large demand for flowers. The special inducements offered by some of the florists to secure class bouquet con- tracts cannot be too harshly condemned, as one florist said he lost money on •every order taken. E. E. C. Eahn & Herbert Co. is said to be us- ing with excellent satisfaction a new pot washing machine invented by C. S. Fowler, and which is to be manufac- tured and put on the market by the Powler-Hotchkiss Co. It is stated that the success of the machine results from the unique way in which water is car- ried to the inside of the pot, and to the character and durability of the brushes, which clean the inside and outside of thb pot at the same time, with as great rapidity as the operator is capable of maintaining. Bahn & Herbert Co. oper- ates its machine with water power, but an electric motor can be used for pro- pulsion, and hand power machines will be manufactured. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. Since the last writing a shortage of stock has changed into a serious over- supply. Business has fallen off to a marked degree in the last ten days, while a few days of bright weather have increased the cut of all kinds of blooms. Much bulbous stock is now on the market and helps to make an over- supply. Potted plants are moving well, as there is no great quantity of this stock procurable. Carnations are of poor quality. Many of the growers report a large percentage of splits. Bea- con being particularly bad in this re- spect. Various Notes. A. A. Hinz has returned from his trip through California, having had an ex- ceedingly pleasant time. The Florists' Club's social night, Jauaii^ 29, was well attended. The evening was spent at cards and refresh- ments were served. Mr. Welfare, lately of Chicago, is visiting a brother in this city. He ex- pects to locate in this vicinity if suit- able arrangements can be made. He has had several years of experience in the retail business. J. L. S.

The court said: ''The plaintiff had received an order for certain fruit trees 1 and 2 years old and, before the- desire of defendant to change or mod- ify the order was received, had ordered a part of the trees from another nurs- eryman and had dug up other trees from his own nursery, cutting them back and putting them in the heeling^ ground ready for shipment. It also ap- pears that undisputed testimony to the effect that inability to deliver the trees would result in their total loss, was introduced. Under such circum- stances we do not think the genera) principle should apply, but, on the other hand, that the case falls more fairly within the exception generally invoked in the case of manufactured articles." sr A NUKSEEYMAN'S VIEW. After writing to the postmaster gen- eral regarding the extension of the par- cel post rules so that they will apply to "seeds, bulbs,- cuttings, scions, roota and plants, ' ' we have had in reply from the third assistant postmaster general a letter which reads in part: "In answer to your letter of tho second instant, which the postmaster general has referred to me, I have to inform you that the act of July 24, 1888, fixes the special rate of postage of 1 cent for each two ounces or frac- tion thereof on parcels of seeds, cut- tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plantp, and the parcel post law provides that it shall not in any way affect such special rate.

"Why consideration to all these items should be given simply upon the recom- mendation of the seedsmen, when they only handle seeds, is another thing that looks "queer," at least to the writer's way of thinking. There undoubtedly must be a misun- derstanding somewhere as to the seeds- men generally having recommended that the rate of postage be held higher on these items than on other merchandise, and an instant's thought convinces one that it is not right, inasmuch as a pound of seeds mailed at the office of anyone in the trade costs as much if to be handed out to a customer one block away, as it would if sent over various lines of railroad to the most distant parts of the country. We wish to ask every seedsman, nurseryman and florist to write imme- diately to his congressman and to the postmaster general, asking immediate legislation for the purpose of having the parcel post rates apply to seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants. This is certainly important, and, in jus- tice to both the seller and buyer of such items, an urgent request should be made upon these officials that this error be given prompt legislation and correction, valdesian Nurseries, By. Geo. W. Jones. [The "misunderstanding" is on the part of the writer of the above. At the time the parcel post law was passed the flat rate was lower than the zone rate on the average day's mailing of every seedsman who took the trouble to make an exact comparison. Since that time modifications in the regulations have made the flat rate less advantageous, or even disadvantageous, and it is about to be changed. Several bills for that purpose are pending in Congress. — Ed.] NOTES FBOM AALSMEEB. Aalsmeer, Holland, where, as history boasts, gardeners had already estab- lished themselves as early as the seven- teenth century, is now one of the most interesting places on earth from a hor- ticultural standpoint, especially to one who receives its products in far-away America. With its canals^ dividing all properties there, from which in reality the gardens found their being, it has exceptional economical shipping facili- ties. Nursery stock is loalded here on boats directly from the packing sheds and transported from there alongside the ocean greyhounds at Botterdam, where they are taken aboard directly from the holds or decks.

While in the writer's boyhood Aals- meer was the main source of geraniums, fuchsias and other cheap pot- plants^ to- gether with some boxwood and fruit trees, its present specialties are box- wood and lilacs for forcing. A couple of weeks ago I witnessed two auctions of cut lilacs, with a small sprinkling of snowball and Prunus triloba branches, which totaled over 6,000 guilders, or $2,400. This gives an idea_ of the im- mense quantities of lilacs grown. I am told that. over 6,000,000 branches of lilac are shipped to the social centers of Europe from Aalsmeer alone, finding their way to Constantinople, St. Peters- burg, Vienna, Berlin, London, etc. These lUacs have stems from two and a half feet to four feet long.

Of late years he was also a member of Holland's most im- portant horticultural society, the Neder- landsche Tuinbouw Raad.

The quality of the stock we have sent out from year to year has made an enviable reputation for itself and we have that repu- tation to maintain. It hasn't been luck; it's been hard, consistent work to make it. Judging by our spring prospects, that reputation will be made good. Our novelties of the season in Roses are Killarney Brilliant ^and Hadley.

CONTINUED Last week we told a part of the history of Silver Pink Snap- dragon from seed — how we purified the blood of the parent plant and caused it to produce pure stock. No matter what else was done we practically conquered the plant and gave to the public something worth while — something that makes snap growing easier and far more profitable. That we shall have imitators I have no doubt, but you are assured that seed grown in the ordi- nary way and from common varieties will NOT be successful. Neither will seed from seedlings be of any value. We shall hold on to the original parent stock arid produce seed each year as we need it. We have had exceptional luck this season and have in- creased the size of the packets. All parts of the work are under our personal supervision and every stage of seed production is carefully guarded. We do not sell seed in bulk and pure stock can only be had from us or from some seedsmen in original packets only. Don't be deceived. We now have ready splendid, well branched plants for Mem- orial and later. The price is only $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1,000, by express. Seed, trade pkt., $1.00; 3 pkts., $2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00, by mail for cash. Compare the accompanying picture with any that you have seen.

He grows Sunburst, Mrs. Ward, Killarney and White Killarney, Richmond, Russell and Hillingdon. Thomas Roland is sending in fine plants of Erica melanthera, camellias, acacias and genistas. The project for a large municipal hor- ticultural building located on the Back Bay fens, approved by ex-Mayor Fitz- gerald, for which he sanctioned an ap- propriation of $25,000 on the last day of his administration, the money to come from the interest of the $5,000,- 000 Parkman fund, has been promptly vetoed by the new mayor, J. M. Curley. A building to cost $150,000 had been planned, but the incoming mayor be- lieves that there is no pressing need for such a building. It will undoubtedly come later, however. William C. Stickel, of Lexington, is an excellent carnation grower. He has 25,000 plants this season. Pink Delight is particularly fine, but so are White Wonder and Gloriosa. Other varieties grown are Beacon, Mrs. C. W. Ward, Rosette, Yellow Prince and Yellowstone. Matchless and Champion will be planted next season. S. J. Goddard says he is more pleased with winning the prize for the vase of carnations showing the best keeping qualities at Cleveland than he is with any of his other awards.

Work is being rushed on the new wholesale flower market at 260 Devon- shire street, for the Boston Cooperative Flower Market. Such large growers as McAlpine Bros, and J. A. Budlong & Sons Co. have already leased large spaces, and other big growers are pre- paring to follow. The corporation has the privilege of doubling its present floor space of 13,000 to over 25,000 feet whenever necessary. The Willow Hill Greenhouses, West Roxbury, always grow genistas particu- larly well, and their plants this season are finer than ever. Penn had a pleasing innovation last week in one of his large show windows. This was enclosed at the back with fine mesh wire netting; a groundwork was laid of sheet moss. One or two well- branched small trees without foliage rose from this, and on the branches or fluttering about the enclosed space was a large flock of Hartz mountain cana- ries. A huge bowl of Taft roses at one end were the only flowers. This window attracted notice from practi- cally every passer-by. Great prepara- PINK SUPRENE The Carnation for money production.

As a free and vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It has not shown the slightest symptoms of mildew with us. It sets buds freely in the short days of winter and is now coming in with a fine midwinter crop. It does equally well on grafts or own root. We intend planting Shawyer heavily this season, but still have a splendid stock of fine young plants in 3-inch pots, ready for immediate delivery — on own root.

Market conditions all through the week were most satisfactory; prices were up and stock was scarce in some of the seasonable flowers. There is no great supply of roses from the local growers. The stock from out of town has been good. American Beauties have been a little scarce. There has been an overflow of carnations; some are weak in stem, but the majority are in fine shape, with good, large blossoms. Gardenias are arriving more plentifully, but orchids do not sell as fast as they might. Easter lilies are scarce, but callas are more plentiful. Violets have sold well. Paper Whites are not so plentiful of late. Tulips are plentiful in yellow, red and white, and sell well. The first lilac came in toward the end of the week. Mignonette is scarce. There are plenty of sweet peas in about all shades. There are plenty of Romans. Little is seen of freesias. Valley is in good demand and is plentiful. The supply of green stock is not quite up to the demand and is somewhat infe- rior. Various Notes, Miss Lillian Wheeler is now in the employ of J. B. Keller Sons, at North Clinton street.

Eoses are easing up and the store men are not quite so afraid to take an order. Beauties, of course, are a rarity in this city at present, only seen occasionally. Carnations are quite plentiful and in some instances of such poor quality that it is next to impossible to dispose of them. Bulbous stock is becoming more plentiful as the spring draws near. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and Paper Whites are available in sufficient quan- tities to supply the demand. Some ex- ceptionally fine sweet peas are being shipped in. Spencers bringing as high as $2 per hundred. Violets are quite plen- tiful, among them some fine singles. Easter lilies are about equal to the demand, while callas are scarce. The usual line of green goods may be had. Various Notes. Thomas Browne, well known as the originator of Philadelphia carnation, left February 5 for Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Breitmeyer are expected to return from Cuba about February 20. Harry Breitmeyer has been at home for the last week, due to sickness. Albert Stahelin, of Bedford, Mich., has placed his order for a Cole touring car. E. A. Fetters also is much inter- ested in new cars these days. Louis Charvat cleaned up the market on valley February 9, having a special order calling for hundreds of this flower. The publicity committee of the De- troit Florists' Club held a special meet- ing February 9 to complete plans for co- operative advertising for St. Valen- tine's day. Many of the downtown stores have attractive window displays appropriate to St. Valentine's day.

New Rose, Klllarney Brilliant THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN HANY YEARS. We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Killarney — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety at its best. In addition to its great superiority in color, the flower is almost twice as large, having from twenty-five to forty full-sized petals. It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but has double the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller flower; and it is also very much more productive, having the same habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent. We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past win- ter, planted in the same house with the original and the double pink Killarney, and when those varieties faded so as to be almost unmarket- able, Killarney Brilliant was superb. We are thoroughly convinced that it will immediately supplant the original Killarney as the standard mar- ket variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be compelled to plant it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, who has seen it growing, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs no advertising; it sells itself.

Market conditions remain about the same as they have been for the last few weeks. Carnations are more plen- tiful than they have been and the quality is fine. Roses are still scarce, and although the quality of the stock is really better than can be expected, the light cut keeps the supply away be- low the demand. Wisconsin grown vio- lets are in greater supply than they have been for some time, and as the stock is extra fine, they are cleaned up as soon as they appear on the market. American Beauties are practically out of the market at this time. It is ex- tremely hard to get any to supply part of the regular demand for this stock. Bulbous stock is fine and is a big fac- tor in the sales end of the market just now. Trade in general is good and everyone reports a steady business, but nothing extraordinary. Various Notes. The Milwaukee Florists' Club, at its meeting Thursday, February 5, listened to an interesting talk by F. W. Sivyer, of the County School of Agriculture.

JOY! You must have heard about it. We know it sounds good. It sounds so good because it happens to be true. This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation over night. We have been handling it for a little over two years and ought to know something about it. IT'S A REAL RED Perhaps we should call it Scarlet, because it is a live, glowing Ked. Better still, it is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means to the man who is depending on us. JOY has been described by Mr. B. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111.— the man who raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody.

The weather during the last month in this section has been mild, with only one night when the temperature dropped to zero. There was no snow worthy of mention during the month. In the last week or two there have been many sunny days and stock has improved wonderfully. Something over 10,000 rooted cut- tings of Carnation Matchless have been distributed among the Lancaster county carnation growers. The Lan- caster Florists' Association secured for them a liberal discount from the list price, through cooperative buying. The cuttings are arriving in good shape and the prospects for the gold medal winner are good. Of the new va- rieties of carnations distributed last season. Enchantress Supreme is mak- ing many friends. Those of us who have it growing side by side with the parent variety can appreciate this val- uable acquisition to the Enchantress family. At H. A. Schroyer's store, on North Duke street, there has been a fine showing of potted plants of every sea- sonable variety, including some ex- cellent bulbous stock, in addition to a full line of the standard cut flowers, all grown at his greenhouses on Har- risburg avenue.

The Florists' Review 89 The World's Best Cannas We try out all new introductions for at least two years before endorsing or rejecting same, and if they are not improvements over existing sorts, or decided novelties, we do not offer them to you. The following varieties of recent introduction stand out prominently as the best of their respective types and colors, and you will make no mistake in accepting our endorsement of the ten varieties here offered. SPECIAL. — Note the reduction in price of ttie three leaders — Hungaria, the ideal pink, Qustav Qumpper, yellow, and Mrs. Alfred Conard, popular salmon pink. Gustav Gumpper. Another season's trial strengthens us In Marcs. The best white bedder, in color about the same as again recommending this as the ideal rich yellow bedding Canna; the flowers of good size are held well above the foliage, the fine trusses always clean looking; in habit of growth very uniform; color a rich golden-yellow, a shg,de that has been missing heretofore and which can be seen as far as the eye will carry; 3% to 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.25 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1,000. Hungarla. The ideal pink bedding Canna; flowers large, in good sized trusses, produced early, freeiy and continuously, in color not unlike that of the Paul Neyron Rose. Com- pared to all other pink varieties, it possesses a softness and refinement not found in any other sort; 3 to 3% feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. Louis Reverchon. This was one of the best dark-leaved red-flowering varieties in our trials during the past three years. A block of about 2,000 plants attracted great atten- tion. The flowers are very large, of a cochineal-red color, very Treely produced on vigorous plants with light bronze foliage; 4% to 5 feet. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; 175.00 per 1,000. Meteor. There are two varieties of Cannas being sold under the name of Meteor, one a German introduction which can be bought very cheap. We offer the American variety and it is the Canna you want, as it is the best red flower- ing Canna in commerce. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. A most remarkable variety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of largest size in erect and abundantly furnished heads, so freely produced as to keep a superb showing of bloom for months above the rich green foliage; 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1,000. Rosea GIgantea. Extra large flowers, borne in such abun- dance that the mass of color on each plant is truly amaz- ing; individual petals are 2^4 inches across; a deep, rich rose, almost a coral-carmine. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1.000. Mont Blanc Improved, but produces not only three or four times as many flowers, and, as the old flowers shed them- selves. It always presents a clean and tidy appearance. Maros In our fields attracted great attention, forming great broad clean bands of white. Its habit is perfect, filling every requirement of a tip-top bedder. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. Uhlberg. Entirely distinct and one of the freest-flowering varieties we have ever grown. The flowers expand very full and are of a soft rosy- carmine; the throat of the flower is of a creamy-yellow and the edges of the petals, which are slightly crimped, are also pale yellow. This variety attracted much attention at our trials; 3 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. Undine. Unquestionably the best of its type, and we heartily recommend it either for massing or as single specimens in the border. Its growth is dwarf and graceful, with grreen foliage, and its flowers, which are produced very freely, are of a bright orange-scarlet broadly edged with golden yellow; a most satisfactory variety in every way; 3% feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. William Bates. A splendid free-flowering pure yellow Canna that has attracted much attention. The size of its flowers, of its trusses, its habit of growth are all that can be desired; a variety that will become a great favorite; 5 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. The varieties Meteor and Uhlberg will be supplied In growing plants, all others In roots. Twenty-five at hundred rates; 250 or more at thousand rates. We will supply 1 each of the set of 10 varieties for $2.00. We will supply 6 each of the set of 10 varieties for $8.00. We also have an immense stock of the standard varieties of Cannas and we shall be pleased to quote special prices on your requirements. HENRY A.

ERNEST OECHSLIN FLORIST Gale Ave. and Madisoa St, RIVER FOREST, ILL 9 miles west of Chicago. 90 The Florists^ Review February 12, 1914. KANSAS CITY. Tbe Market. Business last week was about the same as that of the week before. The supply of cut flower stock is rather short for the demaud, especially in roses. The retail business had a heavy run in funeral work, but decorations were not so prominent, so that busi- ness was about even with that of the week before. The wholesalers are making every effort to divide the stock so as to take care of as many of their customers as possible; it is hard to supply all they want. Beauties have become extremely scarce and prices are advancing on all grades. Roses are not so plentiful as they were last week. Richmond was the least in demand, while white roses took an unusual run, which kept the wholesalers cleaned up as fast as they could get them. Pink roses went the same as last week. Good carnations are much in demand and short in supply. The cut for the last week in this locality was not nearly as heavy as that of two weeks ago. There are a great many seconds, but they are always cleaned up by evening. Sweet peas are not so plenti- ful, but they are good, considering the weather conditions, and are bringing good prices. Jonquils, tulips, daffodils and other bulbous stock are becoming more plentiful, which helps out a great deal. Various Notes. Samuel Murray has been doing a great deal of decorating. His decora- tions have increased this year consid- erably over last year. He had a pretty window display of white lilac and spring flowers. Arthur Newell reports that his Janu- ary business showed a decided increase over last January. Funeral work kept him rather busy last week. Henry Kusik & Co. report that stock is hard to get. They are getting more from the north than they were two weeks ago. Easter supplies and wire goods are selling well and orders come in fast. Business across the state line has increased in the last two weeks. There is plenty of funeral work and decorat- ing. Chas. Zapse, of Chicago, a brother of Mrs. T. A. Moseley, was in the city visiting. R. S, Brown & Son have started to ship bedding stock to the south. Busi- ness has shown a big increase over last year and they expect to sell more bed- ding stock this year than ever before. Wm. Foith is cutting some good car- nations and sweet peas. He expects to get a nice cut from his roses in sev- eral weeks. The Alpha Floral Co. has placed a large brass sign across the bottom of the display window. The company is making many changes in the store. The large ice-box door was turned around so as to make it more convenient for customers to enter. The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. reports business good. The com- pany is cutting plenty of carnations and in a few weeks expects to com- mence cutting a good many roses. • W. J. B.

I should like to know whether I can use the soot taken from the combus- tion chamber of the boiler, and of what value it would be to garden stock or to plants grown inside, such as car- nations, lilies, etc. How much should I use at a time, and how often! W. H. D. The soot from soft coal is useful for spreading over the land. It contains some nitrogen and proves distasteful to worms and other soil pests. Under glass it can be used either separately or mixed with cow or sheep manure. Place these in a bag and soak in a barrel of water. Dilute this water when applying it to pot or bench crops. Soot alone is valuable for putting color into foliage which has become sickly and yellow. Our native soot is not equal in fertilizing qualities to the im- ported article. Scotch soot has a large sale in America. C. W. STAMFORD, CONN. The Westchester and Fairfield Horti- cultural Society gave its annual enter- tainment and dance at Mechanics' hall February 4, when a large number of representatives of seed houses, nursery firms, the gardeners' families and friends made up a sociable, happy crowd that filled the hall to overflow- ing. The entertainment was fine and the numbers all were well received. At the conclusion of the entertainment President Robt. Williamson called John Brown, of Stamford, to the stage and presented to him a beautiful silver loving cup ornamented with horn han- dles. The presentation was made in behalf of the exhibitors at the recent show in Stamford, as a token of appre- ciation of the able manner in which Mr. Brown managed the show. Mr. Brown thanked the donors and assured them PINOLYPTO WEED KILLER THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS.

Our greenhouse foreman says that it is the only thing that he has ever used that will kill white ants in the benches." Valentin Burgrevin's Sons, KinKston, N. Y^ write: "'We wish to say that we find VERMINE an excellent thing. We userl it on a bench planted with Smilax to kill root lice or maggots, which ate the roots, and after two applications our Smilax is taking on new life and has started off to grow." The Gardner Nursery Company, Osage, Iowa, writes: ' 'We will use V ERMINE on our out-of- door fields of strawberry plants, if the inside test continues as satisfactory as it now seems." W. N. Craig, Brookline, Mass., writes: "I have used VERMINE and found it effective against root maggots, cut worms, earth worms, ants and other ground pests." VERMINE is applied one part to four hun- dred parts of water by thoroughly soaking the soil. It will protect your crops from the ravages of vermin underground without the slightest injury to vegetation. $1.00 per quarL $3.00 per gallon.

I am building a greenhouse, 21x125 feet. The side walls will be boarded, without glass, and will be six feet high. The side beds will be solid. There will be two benches in the center, each five feet wide, and there will be three walks, each twenty inches wide. I have been thinking of heating the house by running two 2^-inch flow pipes, one on each purlin, with three 2-inch returns on each wall and one 2-inch return under each bench. I want to grow tomatoes and bedding plants. We seldom get more than 17 to 20 de- grees of frost here, near the coast of British Columbia. The boiler will be at one end of the greenhouse. A. O. The radiation described would be sufScient for ordinary bedding plants, but for the best results with tomatoes a slight increase in the amount would be found desirable, with the outside temperature 10 to 15 degrees above zero. The addition of one 2-inch re- turn pipe would bring the amount of radiating surface in the house up to about 900 square feet, which is rather more than can be handled to advan- tage by two 2 1^ -inch flow pipes. Hence, instead of putting in another return pipe, it would be advisable to run a 2^-inch flow pipe just under the ridge YOU DONT KNOW (at best yra tily THINK toi kniw) what the temperature is in your greenhouses, nights and during your absences, unless you have Sand for Circular* THE STANDARD RECORDING THERMOMETER rresent price, $20.00; ImierlT $28.00 It has made thousande of dollars for many florists and may do as much for yen.

Its combination spring steel cutting brushes clear off the green, germ -infested mold to the tune of 600 to 1000 pots an hour. It makes the pots pleasing to the eye of the customer and comfortable to handle. Plants grown in Champion Washed Pots will come out in repotting with their delicate root systems uninjured. These machines are made to run with either electric, water or boy power. The water or the "juice" will cost from Ic to 2c an hour; boy power usually comes higher. If you have 56 lbs. or more water prps- sure. you will find the water machine mighty good, for it is absolutely fool- proof. You just ought to see it GO! And it doesn't cost much. Sixteen Agricultural Colleges give en- dorsement, and we want to tell you also what users say. Write for these at once and a lot more we have to tell you. The Champion Pot- washer will do a big share towards keeping your plants free from disease. W* Pay the Fralsht [Rights Reglstou Writ* Us For Estimates Givlns Fu 1 1 Pa r 1 1 culars. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. The winter season is nearing its end, and carnival balls and receptions are following one another in rapid succes- sion. Although the money spent for plant decorations and cut flowers for these occasions is less than in former years, the business done by our retailers has been quite satisfactory. The com- petition among them is keener every year, yet the end of each season finds all of them in the field. The show win- dows and store decorations of nearly «very florist are becoming more artistic and elaborate, and no doubt help to some extent to increase the business. Advertising in the daily papers is done more now than formerly, but not on so great a scale as by northern members of the trade. The extremely warm weather all through the month of January brought on the various crops of bulbous stock in rapid succession, and the stock on hand at present exceeds the demand. Out- ■door-grown sweet peas and single violets are plentiful and of fine quality. The predicted cold wave reached the city February 7, but, luckily enough, was not so severe as was expected. As we have freezing weather all over the northern part of Louisiana and a strong northwestern wind is blowing, another day or two may tell another story. If the temperature should only reach the 28-degree mark the loss in outside stock would be enormous. Various Notes. Henry Cook's nursery is surely in fine condition, and his Adiantum Far- leyense is the best seen here. He ex- presses himself well satisfied with the season's business. C. W. Eichling reports a good busi- ness in every line. His first lot of grafted pecan trees from his Bayou La- combe nursery is on the market and finds eager buyers on account of the fine quality. E. E. NEWPORT, E. I. William Jurgens is shipping some fine mignonette to the Boston market. John S. Martin, 22 Stockholm street, reports booking many orders for early outdoor work.

The Florists' Review 18 GREAT GREENHOUSES GO DOWN UNDER WEIGHT OF HEAVY SNOWS IN THE EAST The Longest Greenhouse in America, at Madbury, N. H., and the Widest House, at North Wales, Pa., Both Give Way |Y a strange coincidence the longest greenhouse in Amer- ica, and the widest, the two largest glass roofed struc- tures in the world, both col- lapsed St. Valentine 's day. Une of these houses was that of Wm. H. Elliott, at Madbury, N. H. It was 60x1,360, and about one-third went down. The other was the famous house of the Florex Gardens, at North Wales, Pa. It is 172x750 and the way it looked the day after the storm is shown in the accompanying illustration. Worst Storm in Years. The heaviest storm in many years swept over the north Atlantic states February 14. From Philadelphia north into New England the fall of snow was the heaviest known within the period that the greenhouse industry has had its great development. The test put upon glass roofs was the most severe that has been known since the big modern houses have come into exist- ence. The snow was deep and wet and in addition to its great weight there was the pressure of a high wind. Small losses were numerous and that there were not more of them, and more im- portant losses, is a splendid testimonial to the stability of up-to-date green- house construction. . The Collapse at Madbury, N. H. About noon February 14, during the height of the fiercest snow storm New England has experienced in some years, a section of William H. Elliott's mam- moth greenhouse, at Madbury, N. H., collapsed, owing to the tremendous weight of snow lying on the roof, added to a cyclonic gale with an average velocity of sixty miles per hour. At Madbury the snow lay from three to five feet on the level, many drifts being ten to fifteen feet deep. The fallen part of the house measures 60x400, being practically one-third of the big house, which measures 1,360 feet long, and contains about two and one-half sections, one being devoted to carnations and the balance to roses. None of the working force was in the collapsed section when it fell, but those in an adjoining section said it seemed to fall from the ridge. By means of canvas and boards a temporary parti- tion was at once made at the broken end and, unless a severe cold wave ar- rives, Mr. Elliott says he will save the balance of the house. In spite of his heavy financial loss, Mr. Elliott is op- timistic and will rebuild as soon as weather conditions permit. He has not lost his faith in wide houses. The fallen house had been erected about six years ago, from Mr. Elliott's own , plans, all the construction work being carried out by his own mechanics under his own direction. Probably none in the growing business had made more of a study of greenhouse construction than Mr. Elliott, and he was practically the pioneer builder of big, roomy houses such as are now in vogue. At no time in the past had the fallen house shown any sign of weakness, but cyclonic snow storms are sometimes too much even for the best built houses. Zero weather followed right in the wake of the snow storm. The Collapse at North Wales. The collapse of the famous house at the Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., occurred at about 6 a. m., February 14, following a heavy fall of snow that later turned to ice, the pressure on the glass being increased by the high wind. The house is 172x750 and about forty feet to the ridge. The south side for about half its length gave way. From the appearance of the wreck as shown in the illustration it appears that that *ar•!^■ West Half of the Great Greenhouae, 172 x 750, at the Florex Gardenst North Wales, Pa., as it Appeared After the Collapse. 14 The Florists' Review February 19, 1914. part at the ridge gave way, as the roof toward the eave is practically intact. The management of the Florex Gar- dens declined to make any sort of a statement with, regard to the catas- trophe and it is, of course, impossible to estimate the loss at this time. The house contained about 70,000 rose plants, Killarney, White Killarney, My Maryland, Richmond, Bride, Sunburst and Mrs. Ward. It was severely cold at the time of the accident and steadily for several days after, but it is hoped to save the plants. The north side* of the house will stand without repair and arrangements were made February 16, with the King Construction Co., R. 0. King being on the ground, for the prompt rebuilding of the south side. The work will be pushed with great vigor. In this connection it will be of inter- est to note Mr. King's description of the plans for the first big house at North Wales. At the meeting of the American Carnation Society at Toronto in 1907 he said in part in a paper read to the convention: "This house is a great departure from present standards and will set a record for wide houses which is not likely to be surpassed for some time, or at least until we can profit from the success or failure of the gentlemen who are willing to experiment on such a grand scale. "Beginning with the glass, it is de- sired to lay it with the supporting bars twenty-four inches apart. Referring to the table, it is found that the average weight required to break the glass is thirty pounds per square foot. This is equivalent to about one foot of wet snow. The glass is hardly likely to be called upon to stand more than this, so the question of strength against dead weight can be considered settled. "The framework of the house must be made strong enough to carry some- what more weight than the glass could stand, so that the glass would break before the framework collapsed, the de- sign, complete, leaving the glass the weakest member, as it should be, for it is seen that although the breaking strength of the glass is thirty pounds per square foot, and the breaking strength of the truss work is the same, yet the glass is not uniform in strength, whereas the trusses are, and as thirty pounds is an average, it follows that half the glass would be broken by the time this load would be reached and if half the glass is broken, half the weight has gone with it, so our framework stands to be subjected in the limit to only one-half of its breaking load." TO EILIi LEAF ROLLERS. I have noticed recently in The Re- view several inquiries about leaf roll- ers. I have had a big fight with them on roses and have found that the best and most efficient means of killing the pests is arsenate of lead, used at the rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of water, preferably soft water. It takes continuous spraying to kill them, be- cause the eggs are always hatching out. Kill the female miller on sight; it is easily distinguished, being spotted brown and prone to fly a great deal. The manufactured arsenate of lead is usually good if freshly made, but loses its strength somewhat with age. The government bulletins give formulas for making it cheaply, and of course it is more highly efficient when freshly made. W, H. Reeser. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Boston, Mass. — Edward J. MacMulkin filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy February 13, in the United States Dis- trict Court, in this city. The bankrupt, who has for some years been in business at 194 Boylston street, and who also operated large greenhouses at Norfolk Downs, Mass., states that he owes $83,- 937.27, and that his assets are of an uncertain amount. To unsecured credit- ors he owes $56,861.34, and $9,340 to secured creditors. The remainder of the liabilities consists of taxes, $302.09; wages, $482.25, and notes and bills amounting to $16,951.59. There are 150 unsecured creditors. Among the largest are the Federal Trust Co., $6,588; C. H. Worster, Boston, $9,184.05; George R. White, Boston, $3,352; Waban Rose Con- servatories, $2,797. The largest of the secured creditors is Francis J. Carney, of Boston, with a claim of $5,000. Three Boston creditors, with aggregate claims of $531, instituted involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the company February 13, on the ground that the firm committed an act of bank- ruptcy by making an assignment to William D. Gooch December 23, 1913. Mr, MacMulkin is well liked in horticul- tural circles, and his many friends hope to soon see him rehabilitated. TEXAS FLORISTS TO ORGANIZE. Under the leadership of the Houston Florists' Club, the florists of Texas are preparing to form a state association. A letter has been sent out by the state organizing committee calling a meeting of all florists, landscape architects and others commercially interested in flori- culture at Waco, May 4 and 5. The movement is the result of a canvass by letter of the florists of the state, who are strongly in favor of such an organi- zation, which will materially help the trade in that section. The organizers are enthusiastic and urge the florists of the state to help organize the largest state florists' association in the United States at this meeting, which, they say, will no doubt be the greatest gathering of florists ever held in the south. Rob- ert C. Kerr, of Houston, is chairman of the organizing committee. The other members are I. M. Johnson, Geo. M. Cosh and Henry Kuhlman, Jr., of Hous- ton; T. J. Wolfe, of Waco; J. B. Baker, of Ft. Worth; Otto Lang, of Dallas; C. H. Steding, of Galveston; C. Hauser, of San Antonio;. O. Olson, of Austin, and H. 0, Hannah, of Sherman. PREPAEATIONrfVLT DANVILLE. The arrangements for the joint meet- ing of the state florists' associations of Illinois and Indiana at Danville, 111., March 10 and 11, are rapidly being com- pleted. Entries of cut flowers for the exhibition have been received from forty-eight florists and the entries of plants are coming, too. Although there is to be no trades display, there will be booths, 7x10 feet, along both sides of the Armory, under the balconies, in which dealers in supplies can show their wares. A small rental is charged for these booths, and all but three have been taken. The regular March meeting of the Indiana State Florists' Association has been suspended to make way for the big joint meeting and prospects are for a large attendance of members of the visiting society. In expectation of large numbers, the Danville florists are mak- ing elaborate arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors. The trip to the University of Illinois on the seconi day is being made a featurej^ftfad at the banquet the same evening Dan- ville's "grand old man," Joseph G. Cannon, will be a guest of honor by vote of the local club. The decorations of the Armory will take a large quantity of greens, for it is planned to use wild smilax to set oflf the flowers, ^he cffnter of the floor will be filled with palms and other decorative plants. The ends of the hall will be occupied by the cut flower exhibits. It is expected that a number of the new carnations will be shown here during the meeting. FLORICULTURE DAY PROGRAM. A most interesting and instructive program has been arranged for flori- culture day, March 18, by the floricul- tural department of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. The speakers on the program are all specialists and men of prominence. Florists and gardeners from all parts of the state have ex- pressed a desire to attend these lectures. The program for the day is as follows: "Opportunities In Floriculture," by Prof. Arno H. Nehrllng, Massachusetts Agricultural college. "Professional Horticulture," by Harry A. Bun- yard, secretary of the American Sweet Pea So- ciety, New York. "Growing Plants From Seeds" (especially trees and shrubs and in particular ericaceous and con- iferous plants), by T. D. Hatfield, gardener on the Hunnewell estate, Wellesley, Mass. "Commercial Kose Culture " by W. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass. "Some Phases of Outdoor Rose Culture," by Eber Holmes, Montrose, Mass. "Methods Used in Improving PlBnts," by Ed- ward J. Canning, formerly curator of the botanic gardens at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. "Glass Houses in the Middle West" (Illus- trated), by Prof. A. H. Nehrllng. CARRIED OVER CYCLAMENS. How should the unsalable or surplus cyclamen plants of this year be treated from now on, to be used next season? How early should they be started in the coming summer I They are from seeds sown in August, 1912. M. B. Cyclamens can be carried over suc- cessfully. A common mistake is in dry- ing them off as soon as they are through flowering. Keep them well watered un- til early in May; then water more spar- ingly. In July shake out and repot. By this time most of the foliage will have died away. After shaking out and repotting, grow them along in a coldframe through the summer, leaving the sashes off on all pleasant evenings. C. W. CHEIRANTHUS OR WALLFLOWER. Please give a few cultural directions for cheiranthus, German goldlack. Men- tion the time for sowing, with some- thing about the summer treatment of the plants, and state whether they should be planted out or grown along in pots. M. B. As "goldlack" is the common Ger- man name for wallflower, it is presumed that you refer to the well known old garden favorite, the common wallflower, or Cheiranthus Cheiri. Sow in April. Plant outdoors in May or June, select- ing rich soil. Keep the ground well stirred all summer, and dig up and pot any needed in October. Wallflowers are vastly better when planted out than when cramped through the summer in pots of inadequate size. C. W. February 19, 1914. The Florists^ Review 15 FLIM-FLAMS FELLOW FLORISTS FACES FEDERAL PRISON United States Postoffice Inspectors, on information supplied by The Review, arrest florist charged with using the mails to defraud I HIS is the tale of a florist who appears to have found easy money too great a temptation. Also, it is an admonition, if there are others similarly inclined, that they would better not try any tricks on readers of The Review. It is the story of August Pajonk, once an honest florist, now a man of many aliases, in jail for want of a bonds- man and facing a term in federal pri- son. He was arrested at Pittsburgh last week, by C. H. Clarahan and A. E. Ger- mer, from the office of General James E. Stuart, chief postoffice inspector at Chicago, who went to Pittsburgh as the result of information placed in their hands by The Review. Pajonk was given a hearing before the United States Commissioner at Pittsburgh Feb- ruary 12 and was held under $5,000 bonds to await the action ef the Fed- eral grand jury. How Pajonk Operated. Apparently Pajonk had intended do- ing an honest business; he advertised and took orders with the idea of picking up the stock to fill them. But it was not so easy or so profitable as it had prom- ised to be — the temptatiou was great, with a pocket- ful of other people's money and no home ties, to pull out, change names, and try it over again somewhere else. Pajonk succumbed. Pajonk knows the trade thoroughly. He made just one mistake: he overlooked the zealousness with which The Review guards the in- tegrity of its advertising columns. That was what got him the chance to de- fend himself on the charge of using the mails to de- fraud. "When Pajonk slipped he rented a postoffice box at La Grange, 111., just outside of Chicago, under the name of August Miller. He sent two small classified ads to The Review, accompanied by cash, for publication over the La Grange address. There were nearly 1,000 separate classified ads in that issue, originating all over America, and it is a matter of simple impossi- bility for the publishers to have intimate acquaint- ance with all the advertis- ers. But when a Chicago florist, a day or two later. dropped in at The Review office and remarked that he went to La Grange to buy some of the advertised stock, and couldn't locate the advertiser, it was enough to arouse suspicion. There doubtless are many honest florists whose places of business are not easily found, but if they are not known in their home towns they have to show The Review before they can use its advertising col- umns. Consequently, the ads never ap- peared a second time. Pajonk Moves On. An investigator from the office of The Review went to La Grange. The postmaster had received no complaints. There was not the slightest evidence that anything was wrong; only no Aug- ust Miller could be found. The post- office inspector was asked to keep an eye open, and in a few days reported that the mail was no longer being taken from lock box 54 at La Grange. Miller had moved on. Then a complaint came that afforded a basis for action. A florist wrote that August Pajonk. Alias August Miller, alias Albert Frcl. alias Fred Klein, alias Miss Anna Klein, alias Miss K. Schwartz. he had sent an order for geranium cut- tings, accompanied by a postoffice money order; a typewritten acknowledg- ment had been received, stating that the stock would be shipped in a few days, but it hadn't arrived. Investigation showed that the money order had been cashed. But the man had gone! TTnfortunately, there were other com- plaints. The lock box at La Grange had received much mail. A moth nearly always comes back to the flame, until, finally, it scorches him. And it seemed likely that this man, having had the spending of unearned money, would try for more of it. He did — almost immediately. This time the name used was Albert Frei and the ad- dress was 2509 Penn avenue, Pittsburgh. Although written with a typewriter and signed on the machine, the communica- tions of Miller and Frei were so similar in appearance as to leave no doubt they were written by the same man. Conse- quently, The Review did not print the Frei advertisement. Al- though the advertisement promptly appeared in an- other paper. The Review turned its order over to the postoffice inspectors. Right on the heels of it there came another advertising order, this time signed Fred Klein, Colona, Pa. The Klein letter was so lijce the others in appearance that the postoffice inspectors started at once for Pitts- burgh. The arrest followed in due course. The Fred Klein advertisement ap- peared in another trade pa- per February 14, even after "Klein" was in jail. Identity Established. When the postoffice in- spectors searched the room in Pittsburgh they were able to establish the iden- tity of the man who used the names of Miller, Frei and Klein. He is August Pajonk, who is well known in the trade. At the open- ing of 1911 Pajonk was working for W. N. C. Klein on the Six-Mile Ferry road, near Fairhaven, Pa, A lit- tle later he went to Pitts- burgh and within a few days went to work for J. L. Wyland at Allison Park. In December he joined the forces of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., at Crystal Farm, Gibsonia, Pa., but he did not stay there long, 16 The Florists' Review Febhuaby 19, 1914. going thence, to W. F. Lauch, at New Galilee, Pa, In May, 1913, Pajonk went back to Mr. Klein, a^ Fairhaven, but in August he removed to Spartanburg, S. &:f/wb9Te he worked a few weeks for C. A-'Moss. Then he made his unfor- tunata..excursion west, landing in Chi- cago in September. He landed at 5433 North Seeley avenue, working for Peter Schousboe and other florists in the northwqpt part of tlMi city. Because of the vigilance of The Ke- view, Pajonk 's operations were cut short. He' abandoned La Grange after only about three weeks, but the post- oflBce inspectors have acquired a con- siderable number of letters, which will be held as evidence until after Pa- jonk's trial, when they will be returned to the writers. Anyone who has sent money to Pajonk, either as August Mil- ler, La Grange, 111., Albert Frei, Pitts- burgh, or Fred Klein, Colona, Pa., should write to C. H. Clarahan, post- office inspector, Chicago, 111., stating the facts. One of the curious points established is that Pajonk has fifteen bank ac- counts, in eight small banks in Chi- cago and in seven banks at Pittsburgh. The combined balance is about $1,000. Alleged Matrimonial Swindle. The arrest of Pajonk got into the newspapers all over the country be- cause the inspectors uncovered what they consider conclusive evidence that in addition to his operations among florists, he was working what they call a matrimonial swindle. They found papers to show that he was advertising in German papers as Miss Anna Klein and as Miss E. Schwartz, matrimonially inclined. It is asserted that when he got a nibble he sent a photograph of a good-looking woman, representing it to be that of the advertiser, asking that THE MEDAL OF MEBIT. The accompanying illustration was prepared from a photograph of the gold medal which was awarded to Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., for originating Carnation Beacon. The conditions un- der which the medal is awarded, by the American Carnation Society, are as follows: "Whenever a seedling va- riety shall manifest superiority, Qpm- mercially, and maintain such superior- ity for three or more years, the direct- ors may recoiamend that the originator be given a special gold medal, to be called the Medal of Merit. ' ' This medal is considered the highest honor that could be paid an originator and is sup- posed to be awarded only in excep- tional cases, ^bis is the first medal awarded under this provision, although it was adopted at the convention in Washington, D, C, in 1908. GETTING THE PRICE. The True Test of Salesmanship. The real test of salesmanship is the ability to get the price. If you have confidence in the concern you work for and in the goods you sell, there is no "reason why you should not stand pat on the price. I have known salesmen, says Harold A. HolmeSj in the Caxton Magazine, who could make an admir- able presentation; they could show their goods to the best possible advantage and hold the attention of the prospec- tive customer up to the point where he asked for the price, and right here they always fell down. They name the price in a faltering way, as if they were ashamed of it, and with their nerve rapidly oozing away, suggest that the price is low. Sometimes, to make mat- ters even worse, the salesman will sug- The Medal of Merit Awarded to Peter Fisher, Carnation Originator. carfare be sent so that she might come on to be married. A quantity of photo- graphs, letters and other material was confiscated, so ihat apparently The Re- view has aided in the protection of the lovesick as well as being the means of checking the operations of one of the few florists in whom cupidity has over- come the sense of responsibility. The Review, does not undertake to decide the merits of controversies be- tween reputable florists who disagree as to the quality or value of the stock they buy and sell, but it is keenly alive to see that all those who use its ad- vertising columns conduct their busi- ness with its subscribers in such a man- ner as to be above suspicion. gest that his house does not authorize him to cut the price. This suggestion arouses a suspicion in the mind of the prospective buyer that there is more than one price. The buyer is always actuated by one motive — to get the lowest price possi- ble. The salesman who names his price in a hesitating manner is always on the defensive, because he has opened up the way for the buyer to "beat down. ' ' Any supernumerary can dis- pose of goods if he permits the buyer to dictate the terms, but it takes a real salesman to defend his employer's right to a legitimate profit. Your firm puts a just valuation on its gpods — if you submit to the buyer who ignores that valuation and presumes to say what the goods shall sell for, you are cheap- ening the goods and reflecting discredit on your employer. Ther^alesman who permits him|p^f[ to haggle over the price is lost. The buyer recognizes him as a putty man that he can pinch into any mold that he chooses.

The postmasters testify to the de- cadence of St. Valentine's observance, but florists almost universally declare that more flowers were used February 14 this year than ever before. Some of the eastern cities suffered severely be- cause of heavy storms February 14, busi- ness falling short of expectations, but over the rest of the country, there was a big increase in St. Valentine's day sales. In the news-letters in this week 's Review it is generally reported that St. Valentine's day now has become estab- lished as one of the important special flower days, to be reckoned with when it comes around again. There was a notable increase in the demand for blooming plants, and baskets were used much more largely than heretofore. In many cities practically every cut flower was sold. Everywhere red was the fa- vorite color. Corsages heretofore have been the popular St. Valentine's day purchase, but this year, while corsages sold well, they by no means monopo- lized attention. St. Valentine's day was made by the florists themselves, insofar as flower sales go. A year or two ago it amounted to little in a flower way. The Review pointed out that the sentiment on which St. Valentine's day is founded afforded a splendid opportunity for working up flower sales, and showed how it could be done. The result was that thousands of florists advertised in newspapers, by mailing cards and by means of special window decorations to remind the pub- lic of the appropriateness of flowers for use as valentines. The publicity this year was far greater than that employed last year and the sales of flowers were correspondingly greater. DUTCH BULBS FOB EASTEB. I have my hyacinth, tulip and narcis- sus bulbs buried outside. They are covered with about eight inches of soil and that is covered with manure. At this time they have pushed above the pots from one to two inches, and I am afraid they are coming too fast for Easter. How can I keep them back? Should I remove the manure and put on more soil, thus burying them deeper 1 The location is southern Pennsylvania. W. F. Leave your bulbs alone; they are all right where they are. If they were not started one or two inches by this time, I am afraid they would make a sorry showing for Easter. Remove them to a coldframe about the middle of March. Fkbbuaby 19, 1914. The Florists' Review 17 A Part of the Cut Flower Display at Ithaca During the Meeting of the Federation of New York Floral Clubs. The majority will be much better and stockier if grown there than if placed in a greenhouse. Three weeks will suf- fice to bring any into flower, and even then it may be necessary to retard some in a cold cellar. Everything depends upon the weather we get in March and April. '■_ C. W. CROP FOR COLD GREENHOUSE. We have some houses in which we grow our late mums, and in which we later bench our mum stock plants for propagation. The stock plants require less space than blooming plants, thus leaving a vacancy of several hundred feet of bench space between November 25, when the mums are cut, and February 10 to 2.5, when our houses become crowded with spring stock. I should like to use this waste space for cuttings in sand and wish to know the kind of cuttings 1 can root where no more than a temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees can be had. Will pansies germinate well in this temperature? How about rooting verbena cuttings? How about forcing gladioli, violets or some other crop? Could perennial phlox be propa- gated here? T. N. Pansies would grow and flower satis- factorily in a temperature of 45 de- grees, but seed germination would be slow. A temperature 5 degrees high- er would be much more satisfactory. Single or double violets would probably be the most satisfactory crop you could grow to flower between November 25 and February 25. The singles would be better than the doubles, as they are hardier and could be kept in a cold- frame until you were ready to house them. If your Dakota climate were suflSciently mild they could be covered with hay or straw and kept outdoors until Thanksgiving. It is not advisable to let them have a lower temperature than 26 degrees before housing. Gladioli could be grown in the tem- perature mentioned, but you could not plant and get the crop off earlier than April. If grown in flats they could later be moved to another house, when you needed the space they occupied. Cuttings of perennial phlox will root at a minimum of 45 degrees, especially if a little bottom heat is afforded. Some varieties of evergreens and deciduous shrubs could be propagated in a tem- perature of 40 to 45 degrees at nignt; the trouble is, they would take longer to root, in most cases, than you could afford to wait. I think single violets would pay you the best, using Princess of Wales. C. W. FLORISTS MEET AT ITHACA. Farmers ' week at Cornell University Agricultural College, at Ithaca, N. Y., February 9 to 14 failed to attract the usual attendance this year and the meet- ing of the New York State Federation of Floral Clubs also was slimly attended. President W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, laid aside his work as postmaster to be pres- ent, but Secretary John Young, of New York, was prevented by illness from at- tending. Papers were prepared for the occasion by Prof. A. C. Beal, Irwin Bertermann, Prof. M. A. Blake, Prof. K. A. White, Prof. A. C. Hotles and others. The flower show which was a part of farmers' week was one of the most suc- cessful ever held. The hall was at- tractively decorated with southern smi- lax and artificial pink roses by one of the short course classes, A large num- ber of varieties of potted plants and cut flowers were contributed by various commercial growers, and this made a valuable feature of the week. The hearty cooperation of the commercial people is gratifying to Prof. White, who considered the exhibit made by the Pen- noek-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, as of spe- Iiiil.^l^arnntlons Ward.

HAVE YOU TOLD UNCLE SAM ABOUT YOUR INCOME? Flourishing Florists must file their income tax returns be- fore Monday, March 1, or pay a fine of from $20 to $1000 list K* - District of . ttliriunti- I HIS article will not be of interest to any florist who cleared less than $2,500 in the last ten months of 1913, but to those who are liable to the new income tax, and who have not yet done anything about it, this hint will be timely. The neg- ligent are liable to fine after March 1. The fine can not be less than $20 and it may be as much as $1,000. The law will hit a lot of florists, and it will prove more than the work of a few moments to prepare a return that will give the taxpayer the benefit of his legal exemptions and at the same time stand the scrutiny of those who look out for the government's interests. Who Must Make Bettims. If you have already obtained from the collector of internal revenue in your district a blank for making the return, designated as Form 1040, you will have seen that, like all oflicial documents, it has an imposing front, but, for use, the proper place to start is at the back. On the fourth page are instructions, and the first paragraph states that the return shall be made by every citizen of, and every person residing in, the United States who had a net income of $3,000 for the taxable year. But as the taxable year of 1913 comprises only the last ten months, from March 1 to December 31, the law really applies to all who had a net income of $2,500 in the last ten months of 1913. Read the instructions if you want to; if you don't, begin filling in page 2 at once. The reproductions o f pages of the return given herewith show how A. F. Lorist filled out his blank. How to Schedule. The only money this flo- rist received as a "salary, wage or compensation for personal services" was $80 he received for contrib- uting a weekly news-letter to The Review and $40 for some lectures he gave be- fore women 's clubs, etc. This makes a total of $120 on line 1. Referring to his books, he finds the total re- ceipts at his retail store for the ten months were $18,600. On some real es- tate deals he made a profit of $1,500, which is entered with the business receipts on line 2. From the rent of the rooms over his store he received $300 during the ten months and this goes on the next line. On the outskirts of the town is a greenhouse plant in which he is a silent partner; his share of the profits, not the total receipts, of the concern was $2,000. The $4,000 the partners cleared on the greenhouses was expended in the erection of new glass at the plant and A. F. Lorist received none of the profits, but the whole of his share, $2,000, must be entered under the head of "gains and profits derived from part- nership business." Being a thrifty person, our taxpayer has saved some money, which he in- vested in bonds and mortgages. In the ten months' period he received $600 in- terest from these, but $50 of this was bond interest that was taxed at source after November 1. So he enters $50 on line 5 under the heading A and $550 under B. It was not long ago that a neighbor who had moved to Canada in- ns rua in cmitnL rorm 1040.

An automobile, on which he did not have suflScient in- surance to cover his loss, was completely destroyed by fire last August. The loss, $700, is entered with the preceding items under general deductions. H e tried to clean up his books last fall and found $420 worth of debts which, either by legal proceedings or declarations of insolven- cy on the debtors ' part, were proved to be worthless. This, with an allowance of $1,800 for wear and tear and de- preciation of his property, brought the total under general deductions to $17,845. Turning to that imposing front page, our taxpayer, after filling in his name and address, enters the total of page 2, $23,540, as gross in- come and the total of page 3, $17,845, as general deduc- tions. The difference, or net income, is $5,695. The $120 received from stock of Fbbruabt 19, 1914. The Florists^ Review 19 a corporation which had been taxed, and $50 on which the tax had been paid at the source are next deducted, as well as the specific exemption of $3,333.33, for our taxpayer as a mar- ried man. It should be made clear, though it is not by the report blanks, that the specific exemption this time is only $2,500 or $3,333.33 for single and married persons respectively, as only five-sixths of the stated exemption of $3,000 and $4,000 is allowed, because the return covers only ten months, in- stead of a full year. These three deduc- tions amount to $3,503.33, leaving as the taxable income, $2,191.67. A. F. Lorist has, therefore, no need to bother about the few lines devoted to addi- tional taxes on incomes of five and six figures. One per cent of his taxable income is easily figured and entered at the bottom of the page as $21.92. f If a wife has enough income of her own to bring the combined income of herself and husband into the taxable class, they both must file returns. If there is any doubt as to whether one's income is taxable, it is best to be on the Hafe side by filing a return. Though it may be a heavy tax on the brain, it will not afterward be felt so severely as would be the effect on that vital spot, the pocketbook, of a fine of $20 to $1,000. GOLDEN SPUES NOT ITX)WERING. Will you tell me what is the matter with my Golden Spur narcissi? I brought some flats in before Christmas, putting them under the benches until the plants were from four to five inches high. I have been bringing some in every week. They have grown quite tall, but have no blooms. The buds that appear are like blisters and do not amount to anything. I have 1,500 bulbs and it looks as though nearly all of them are worthless. Do you think it was the fault of the bulbs t J. G. S. The trouble, probably, has been due to giving the Golden Spurs some wrong treatment. You do not say whether you are growing French, Guernsey or Dutch bulbs. The French bulbs are easily forced for Christmas and the early part of January. The Guernseys immediately follow them. The Dutch, which are by far the most largely grown, cannot be flowered with suc- cess earlier than January 20 and it is a common error to atart these too early; such batches always show a greater or less percentage of blistered buds. I think your later batches will flower all right. Too early housing, before the growths are sufficiently started and when the roots are inade- quate, invariably results in at least partial failure. Also be careful not to overwater your plants; under benches they are liable to get considerable drip, and nothing will more effectively spoil them. C. W. TREATMENT FOR AMABYLUS. I have a lot of amaryllises, secured last year as blooming bulbs, but only a few of them bloomed. I had them in a coldframe all summer and when I took them in last fall they were in splendid leaf. I placed them, in the pots, on the greenhouse floor, away from drip. They got no water except the moisture of the house. They have kept green all winter, although the soil is dry in the pots. A few of them showed GtROSS INCOME.

Your treatment has been correct in nearly every respect, and, provided your bulbs are of real blooming size, there is no reason why a large propor- tion should not flower this season. It is not necessary to completely dry off the plants, as many imagine, but I like to have the plants lose most of their foliage. If you had put them on their sides last October or November, it would have been a little better for the plants, provided they could be in a fairly dry atmosphere, although if space would permit they could be kept on the beoch right along. Before starting up the plants, repot- ting should be done where necessary. If your bulbs were only potted last season, however, all they should require would seem to be the removal of some of the surface soil and a top dressing of fibrous loam and dried cow manure. Also, examine the drainage and see that it is all right. Start in a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. The flower spikes will usually show before you need to place them on the bench. The flowering period is usually January, February and March, although they can be had in December and April. Amaryllises are of easy culture. In summer they are best plunged in a bed of tanbark, leaves, or cocoanut fiber refuse. C. W. 20 The Florists' Review Febhuaey 10, 1914. ac ac 3C i j ir SEASONABLE i ^ SUGGESTIONS j ac a Spanish Iris. Continue to bring batches of Spanish iris into gentle heat, so as to ensure a steady succession of bloom. These bulbs are not infrequently planted in beds or benches in a cool house, but as they need to occupy such spaces a long time before flowering, a far better method of culture is to place them in flats five or six inches deep, where just as fine spikes can be produced, and the plants can be better advanced or retarded. The latter part of March is as early as iris can be had in flower. As it will not stand hard forcing, a temperature of 50 degrees at night should not be exceeded. Iiilies for Easter. Just a few words as a reminder to the many growers of lilies for Easter. Ee- member that we are now in February, and that Lent comes February 24. If your plants are to be on time for Easter, which comes April 12, you should be able to see and count the buds plainly when Lent arrives. If your plants seem early, it is easy to keep them a trifle cooler. On the other hand, it is not so easy to have late ones on time. There- fore, give more heat now. In the case of giganteum let the temperature run up as high as 65 degrees at night. Usually this variety is quite dwarf and more heat will help to lengthen its stem, which is something of an advantage. Continue to weed out and throw away any diseased plants; it does not pay to hold on to these. Give additional space to all plants as needed, and re- move the more backward ones to the warmer end of your house. Be sure to keep aphis in check by either spraying or fumigation. Fuchsias. Kept-over fuchsias which have been resting can now be started up in heat and sprayed freely. They will soon produce an abundance of cuttings. These root quickly and will make good plants for spring sales, as they make rapid growth. Fuchsias cannot be de- pended upon here as bedding plants except to a limited extent, Iwt in piasea boxes in partial shade, or planted out- doors where an occasional watering can be given and where they can Have the benefit of shade from trees or buildings, they can be depended upon to flower all summer. Any location which suits tuberous-rooted begonias will prove equally good for fuchsias. Spiraeas. Spira;as, or astilbes, as they are bo- tanically termed, make desirable Easter plants, and, as they can be bought cheaply and no particular skill is needed to produce good plants, they can be profitably sold at a moderate price. They all like plenty of heat and abundant moisture. Given these condi- tions and a little care in occasionally spacing them apart, it is a simple mat- ter to produce fine plants. The old S. Japonica is now largely discarded in favor of such improved sorts as Glad- stone, astilboides, floribunda, grandi- flora, etc. All these latter must go into heat at once to be in on time. A tem- perature of 60 to 65 degrees at night and plenty of water will cause them to grow rapidly. As the flowers expand it is best to give them a somewhat cooler house. S. Queen Alexandra requires, with other pink and lavender varieties, a longer season than the aforesaid white ones, and Easter stock should have been started early in February. They do not flower so well for Easter as a little later in the season, but their beautiful colors commend them to critical buyers. If spiraeas are in active growth, it is safe to stand them in pans of water. There is no fear of this causiilg any loss of foliage, as in the case of mar- guerites and hydrangeas. Spirseas are perhaps the only plants which are not injured if stood in saucers kept full of water. All the pink sorts should have some shade while opening; bright sun will bleach their flowers almost white. Lilium Candidum. Far fewer of the Madonna lilies are grown for Easter than of the Easter lilies proper. Many annually are dis- gusted after buying big, handsome bulbs which produce weak stalks, car- rying a few miserable, narrow-petaled flovers. If growers would but insist on having candidums from the nif|iy|<>of France, and taboo the brand nowjcom- monly sold, they would soon find 'a"ij^ in- creasing call for candidums, for, if the true broad-petaled variety is once seen properly grown, no substitute can ever be tolerated, and pots of this, the purest, most regal^^ud deKghtfully fra- grant of lili«9y*woulcF8ell «*l sight. Can- didums will not fitand hard forcing; under such conditions "^e flowers would come puny and half sized. Do not ex- ceed 55 degrees at night, and 50 de- grees will suit them better. If you can see and count the buds five weeks prior to Easter, you can depend upon their being in on time. Calceolarias. Calceolarias must all be in flowering pots now, or they will be somewhat late. Give them the coolest house you have; anything clear of actual frost will be suitable. Keep the plants well ele- vated to the light; spray lightly on warm, clear days; fumigate once a week to keep aphis in check, and they will grow satisfactorily. Pinching of the rugosa varieties should now be discon- tinued. These plants can be carried along easily until the middle or end of May. For Memorial day trade, C. Golden Gem and C. Stewarti, a yellow hybrid between the herbaceous and shrubby sections, are invaluable, and the wonder is that florists do not give more attention to them. OEEANIUM CUTTINGS DYING. Will you please tell me the cause of my trouble? I bought rooted cuttings of geraniums and transplanted them into 3%-inch pots. I have kept them moist and the temperature up to 65 degrees, and wfljl^ave lost about one- third ofjjhhem. Was it because the plants were forcedl..^ik F. G. I am not at all surprised at one-third of your geraniums dying; I am sur- prised thafa. much larger proportion did not die. In the first place, 3^- inch pots are far too large for mere rooted cuttings. It would have been all right to have used 2V4-inch pots and shifted the plants to 3%-inch pots after they had become well rooted in the smaller pots. The cuttings in such large pots oould not take up the plant food in so large a compass, and, being constantly moist, they first lost their roots and later damped off. A tempera- ture of 65 degrees for young geraniums is far too high; 50 degrees at night is ample, and they must have plenty of fresh air and not be treated like trop- ical subjects. Always water sparingly until the plants are well rooted aroh'nd. . NEW ZONALE GERANIUM. We are sending one truss of a gera- nium. Many florists have looked this over and have pronounced it to be a new one, and we have seen nothing just like it. You will note we had to cut the bloom down to get it into the box. In growth it has all the properties of the parent, Ricard, being strong and robust and standing up well under all conditions. It is a free bloomer the year around. We now have plants that are never without from one to four large trussed of flowers, and they are exceptionally good for Christmas flow- ering. We have had chances to sell all the stock, but we will not dispose of it, as we feel from the various opinions •given that it will pay us best to work with it and get a good stock. We should like to have your opinion on this bloom. E. G. The geranium truss arrived perfectly fresh. It is certainly well worth retain- ing. The truss is large and the color brilliant. It seems to be quite distinct, and I should say you would do well to propagate it as largely as possible. C. W. Fbbbuabx li), 1U14. The Florists' Review 21 ..Ar'*V» ^m STBEAK DISEASE ON SWEET PEAS. I should like to know how to get rid of the disease called streak disease'' of sweet peas. Could the richness of the soil have anything to do with it, and what are the first signs of it? What, if anything, will prevent it? C. I. The cause of the streak disease is un- known, nor is any remedy yet known for it. At one time it was believed that the punctures of aphides caused the disease. This has been disproved, but it has been further proved that they carry the infection from diseased to healthy plants. Plants showing the disease should be pulled up promptly and burned. The National Sweet Pea Society of Great Britain has recently offered a cash prize of 10 guineas and a special gold medal to any person who can prove that he or she has a certain cure for the streak disease, and both here and abroad the experiment stations are investigating this malady, but, as before said, comparatively little is as yet known about it. . C. W. SWEET PEAS UNDER GLASS. I should like to get some information about the culture of sweet peas. We have a house, 14x100, running north and south, without benches. There is enough head room for sweet peas anywhere in the house. What varieties would you suggest to be sown at once, and how much manure should be mixed in the soil? How much seed will be needed for each row, and how far apart should they be thinned out? How long will it be from sowing to picking, and how long will the picking last? We can give plenty of air. Is a temperature of 45 degrees at night enough ? What diseases trouble sweet peas most, and how can we pre- vent them? H. Y. S. Give the border a liberal coating of rotten manure; if you have cow manure, it is preferable to horse manure. Let it be three to four inches thick. Dig the border at least two spits deep, mix- ing the manure in well. In your some- what narrow house you cannot grow more than three rows. Let one go directly down the center, the others five feet away. This arrangement will al- low a 2-foot path along the sides. Among the best of the true winter- flowering varieties are Christmas Pink, Mrs. F. J. Dolansky, Mrs. Wm. Sim, Watchung, Mrs. A. Wallace and Flor- ence Denzer. These are all grandiflora varieties. There are new Spencer win- ter-blooming varieties offered by A. C. Zvolanek in large variety, which bloom freely, but the seed is still high priced. However, you might sow your center row with Countess Spencer and White Spencer, and the other rows with the earlier varieties. The Spencers will come in nicely later on. The midwinter varieties will start blooming in eight to ten weeks, and, with good care, they will flower for three months. Countess Spencer and White Spencer will be later, but will give you much flner blooms when they do come. For three rows, each 100 feet long, sow one and one-half pounds of seed. Of course, you will not need anything like all the plants which will germinate. Thin them out three to four inches apart, and you will get better branched and more vigorous plants. If half the seed were used, you would probably have suffi- cient plants, but if you wish to econo- mize on seeds, sow in flats and later transplant th*' seedlings three to four inches apart. A temperature of 45 degrees at night will be all right for a start, but when flower buds appear advance it to from 50 to 52 degrees at nighti Several dis- eases affect sweet peas, but none so seri- ously under glass as outdoors, as mois- ture, temperature, ventilation, etc., can be regulated to suit the plants. If seed- lings are left too thick or hilled up, stem-rot may occur. Streak disease is not so common inside as outdoors. Bud dropping is due to excessive feeding, too low a temperature or too much moisture. It, however, is most common in midwinter. Mildew is caused by cold draughts; careful ventilation will prevent it. Aphjjj must be controlled by fumigation or spraying. Eed sp^^^r sometimes appears, especially near'neat- ing pipes; an arid condition favors its spread. C. W. SWEET PEA BUDS DROPPING. We started sweet peas the latter part of August in solid beds with cinder bot- toms for drainage. We enriched the soil with rotted horse manure. The sweet peas grow well and have good flowers, but suddenly the buds dry up and we do not get any flowers for some time. We have a carnation house next •^0 them which we fumigate with Nicot- icide. Will the fumes hurt the sweet pea flower buds, or what do you think is the cause of the buds drying up? The varieties of sweet peas we use are: Mrs. Alex. Wallace, Mrs. Sim, Snowbird, Dolansky and Zvolanek. E. K. There is always more or less danger of sweet pea buds dropping in midwin- ter, when we have our most severe weather, accompanied frequently by long dark spells, and unless houses are modern and of best construction, snow may lie on the roofs a considerable time. With such climatic conditions to contend with, a loss of buds is almost certain unless the temperature of your house can be kept up to 50 degrees as a minimum. To corrfect the trouble, let it run 2 or 3 degrees higher. It can ad- vance to 60 degrees on cloudy days and to 65 or 70 degrees on clear days. Your soil was evidently well prepared, but extreme care in watering is needed from December to February. It is better to water too little rather than too much. The fumes from Nicoticide should not harm the sweet peas, although they will not stand as strong fumigation as many other plants. C. W. THE COST OF LABIATA. The price of freshly imported plants of Cattleya labiata has been steadily advancing for years. Where one once could buy a case of cattleyas for $40, now he is asked to pay $75, or even $80. Great as is the difference between these figures, it does not indicate the full advance, for the plants which were supplied at the lower price were much finer than the plants now to be had. When labiata was $40 per case, the caee contained forty plants. Now the same size of case contains about sixty- fiy^,. plants, much smaller and much less worth while having. There is a possibility that some for- tunate individual will discover a new source of supply for Cattleya labiata, but if this does not come to pass, those in touch with the situation feel sure the price will keep on mounting until it gets to the point where no commer- cial grower can touch labiata. Indeed, already the reluctance of the commer- cial man is seen in the fact that the cut flower markets are not nearly so well supplied with the blooms during the labiata season as they are at other times during the year, when the cheaper varieties are in bloom. FUMIGATINa ORCHIDS. The oracular statements made by hor- ticultural inspectors and commissioners are often amusing to a thinking man, but, unfortunately, they are also ex- tremely disturbing to one who has busi- 22 The Florists' Review February 19, 1914. ness to transact. Take, for instance, the case of fumigating orchids for cat- tleya fly, noted on page 18 of The Re- view of February 5. What in the name of all that is incomprehensible is the reason for fumigating orchids that are supposed to be, or suspected of being, infested with fly? It might, and prob- ably would, seriously damage the plants, but, unless there happened to be a chance mature fly loose in the cases, it certainly would not harm the fly any. The embryo fly in imported cattleyas is usually safely ensconced in the base of the old bulbs or in the flower sheaths, absolutely out of the way of fumes of hydrocyanic acid gas or gas of any other kind that may be turned in by the worthy, painstaking and active, but often misguided officers, who are zeal- ous in guarding against any possible foreign importation of pests, but are frequently shortsighted when it comes to observing the many pests running wild in their own country. The writer has suffered more than most growers from the depredations of the cattleya fly, but those who think its numbers will be lessened by fumigation of the plants at ports of entry have surely to "guess again." H. E. Richards. [The article on this subject in The Review of February 5 sought to convey the idea that the federal horticultural board had "guessed again" and had abandoned the idea under consideration, of requiring fumigation of imported cattleya plants. — Ed.] SLOW GROWTH AFTER CROP. I should like to know how to make Killarneys break better after cutting a crop of blooms. The weather has been cloudy and I have been running them on the dry side. I pinched them to get long stems for the Christmas crop and cut beyond this pinching to two eyes. Now the top eye only starts and some of them go blind. I have plenty of half-rotted cow and horse manure. I also have plenty of fresh cow manure, if you think it could be used. The soil is a good clay sod. I run the tempera- ture at ns to 60 degrees at night, 65 degrees on cloudy days and 72 degrees on sunn}' days. I have also had trouble with Melody. The plants have not moved for two months and most of the last growth they did make went blind. These were young stock, benched in June. I also have some Eichmonds that act in the same way. I should like to know whether the cloudy weather is the cause, or something in the growing. J. A. & S. The unusually long spell of cloudy weather has shown its effect on all stock in the greenhouses, and roses have suffered about as much as any. During this weather the temperature in the houses has been kept between 58 and 64 decrees for whole weeks, to prevent soft growth, and the consequence is that the roses are taking a rest. As soon aa we get some sunshine and can give the plants a higher temperature during the day, they will no doubt get busy again. While most roses made some growth after the crop was 'cut, the growth naturally was weak and a large percentage of the shoots went blind. This blind wood will help to strengthen the plants, support the new growth and encourage the plants to break from the bottom. As soon as the roses start new growth they will require feeding. A light dose of half rotted cow manure, well dis- solved with water and spread thinly over the benches, will be beneficial, but while the plants are standing still it will be well to omit any feeding. W. J. K. A START IN ROSES. We have had experience with carna- tions, but wish now to try roses. We wish to know what would be the best commercial varieties to grow in a house 28%xl00, containing four 5-foot benches. What proportion of each color is likely to be needed to supply ordinary store work? Will good light soil, that pro- duces good carnations, do for roses? How far apart should roses be planted? Do grafted plants grow more readily un- der a beginner's treatment than own- root stock? Are there any good, prac- tical books on rose growing, as useful as Ward's book is to carnation growers? T. K. G. A house 28%xl00, containing four 5- foot benches, would hold about 1,500 rose plants, planted five rows to the bench and sixteen inches apart in the row, or seventy-five plants in a row. The safest varieties for a beginner to plant would be Killarney, White Killarney and Mrs. Aaron Ward, in the propor- tion of one-half Killarney and one-quar- ter each of White Killarney and Ward. The Wards should be planted in the warmest part of the house. The soil for roses should be heavier than a light carnation soil. If the subsoil is clay, about one-third of this, mixed with two-thirds of the light soil, would make a good mixture for roses, with plenty manure, preferably cow manure, and the addition of some bone meal at the time of planting. Though grafted stock costs more than own-root, the varieties mentioned grow so much better and more quickly at the start if grafted, that it is good economy to buy the grafted plants. As to a practical book on rose grow- ing, the one best suited to your pur- pose would probably be "Commercial Eose Culture, Under Glass and Out- doors," by Eber Holmes; price, $1.50. It is for sale by The Eeview, as is also the little book entitled "The History and . Culture of Grafted Eoses for Forcing," which costs 25 cents. W. J. K. OUTDOOR ROSES IN THE SOUTH. I want to plant out 100 roses for cut flowers during summer, here in central Alabama. Will you please tell me what size of plants to purchase for quick re- sults? Would stock from 4-inch pots be large enough? Give me the names of a few good red, white, pink and yel- low varieties. What ki|pds would do best in our soil, which is a heavy clay loam? H. A. C. Stock from 4-inch pots, if kept well mulched and watered, would give you fair results, but if you are willing to pay a little more I would advise buying grafted outdoor-grown plants. These have a vigor vastly superior to plants raised from cuttings. The hybrid tea roses will be the best for you to grow, as they are perpetual bloomers. You will get better results from your heavy soil if some sand is incorporated with it. A few hybrid perpetuals are tol- erably free-flowering, including Frau Karl Druschki, white, and Mrs. John Laing and Mrs. Sharman-Crawford, pink. Excellent hybrid teas are: Caroline Testout, salmon pink; Gruss an Teplitz, light crimson; Double Pink Killarney, flesh pink; Double White Killarney; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, cream, shaded lemon; Mme. A. Chatenay, car- mine rose; Mrs. Aaron Ward, rich yel- low; Sunburst, coppery orange; Antoine Eivoire, soft peach; Lady Pirrie, cop- pery reddish salmon, and Rhea Eeid, rich red. Maman Cochet, light pink, and its pure white form are persistent bloom- ers, and Clothilde Soupert, with pearly white outer petals and a rosy center, flowers all summer. C. W. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The executive committee of the Amer- ican Rose Society met Monday, Feb- ruary 9, and took up various important questions relative to the coming ex- hibition. The judges were chosen, sub- ject to their acceptance. The Mrs. Ger- trude M. Hubbard gold medal will be awarded Monday, March 2."^. This gold medal is a special prize provided for in perpetuity by the late Mrs. Gertrude M. Hubbard, of Washington, and the provisions are that it is to be given once in five years to the raiser or origi- nator of the best rose introduced in the five years previous to the award. The rose is to be of American origin. This will be the first occasion on which the prize will be awarded. A special prize of $25 was offered by Treasurer Harry O. May for the best twenty-five blooms of any undissemi- nated varietv of rose. The Waban Rose Conservatories offer a prize of $25 for the best fifty Eusaell roses, and a special prize is offered by the executive February 19, 1914. The Florists' Review 23 committee of the American Kose So- ciety, the particular object of which is to be determined later. The annual business meeting of the society will be held Monday evening, March 23, subject to adjournment. Last year the attractions at the Grand Cen- tral Palace were so great that it was difficult to get anything to counter- balance the attractions of the general exhibit, and it was deemed advisable to omit everything in the way of papers. The society will have a special booth, where any business of the American Kose Society may be transacted; this will be an improvement over conditions existing in that respect last year. En- tries for all the rose classes should be forwarded to reach the secretary at Beacon, N. Y., not later than March lo. Eobert Simpson, of Clifton, N. J., has accepted the position of manager for the rose exhibition. Treasurer Harry O. May will be assistant to the secre- tary during exhibition week. From present appearances it seems as though there will be much interest taken in getting up a fine show. President Wal- lace R. Pierson is sparing no time or expense personally to persuade every- one, large and small, who grows roses, to become a part of the exhibition and force of the American Rose Society. S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia, is in charge of the executive committee's prize. Benjamin Hammond, Secretary. IN A MISS0T7BI STORE. The Archias Seed Store, of Sedalia, Mo., has behind its office and salesroom a conservatory for the display of potted plants, which materially assists its sales. The accompanying illustration gives a view of this conservatory, as well as of some members of the sales force, who likewise do their part to materially assist sales. TOLEDO, O. The Market. This city has been experiencing its first real taste of consistent winter weather. For the last week it has been cold and cloudy, yet there was less snow here than in many of the neigh- boring cities. Valentine business in some instances was quite satisfactory, despite the extremely cold weather of the day, while other florists report a fall- ing off in trade. From the postoffice records it seems that the idea of giv- ing valentines is becoming obsolete, and this may account for the fact that flow- ers were not in such great demand. It is up to florists to prevent the day from languishing into oblivion, and by per- sistent advertising they can make.it as great a flower day as the other festivals, such as Easter, Memorial day and Moth- ers' day. Nothing else lends itself so eas- ily to an appropriate celebration of St. Valentine's day as flowers, because they express in a better way than words the tender sentiments of love and friendship. It only remains for the florists to make a united effort to com- bine the two ideas. Club Meeting. At the last meeting of the Toledo Florists' Club, which was a lively and businesslike one, the club decided to establish a blue book, in order to keep in closer touch with their credit' tus- tomers and to prevent much of the to-','*'' ^MH^k ^f^ mm't^-A^-f^' ^ "-' - i ^^S^" Show House of Archias Floral Co., Sedalia, Mo. loss that is sustained by local florists from bad accounts. Each florist has agreed to furnish his fellow florists with a list of his bad accounts, which will enable all to be on their guard and will protect them from dead beats. Various Notes. Snow which had begun to thaw on an overhanging roof loosened all at once and fell on the greenhouses of Schramm Bros., on Cherry street, breaking con- siderable glass and destroying some choice azaleas. This firm reports a splendid increase in St. Valentine's day business. This was due in a great meas- ure, according to Frank Schramm, the hustling manager of the concern, to the thorough manner in which preparations were made to advertise the day and to attract business. A beautiful folder in colors was sent out and was backed up by attractive advertisements in the daily papers. By these methods every special valentine box was disposed of before the day was over. With the outside temperature 5 de- grees below zero, the greenhouses of George Bayer were visited by an acci- dent that mussed up things generally. There was a boiler explosion that blew off the fire doors and it took the ef- forts of part of the Toledo fire depart- ment to subdue the flames. Luckily, no one was injured. Miss Helen Patten lesfves this week to attend the Mardi Gras at New Or- leans, after which she will visit Gulf- port, Miss., Chattanooga, Tenn., and parts of Louisiana. She will be accom- panied by Miss C. B. Flick, of Fort Wayne. A. C. K. The business of the Art Floral & Dec- orating Co., of Toledo, has been sold to C. W. Mordoff, F. E. Thompson and others. Mr. Mordoff is an expert sweet pea grower, having 10,000 square feet of glass devoted to this flower at his establishment in Maumee, O. It is his plan to increase his glass to 30,000 feet, the balance to be used for roses and carnations, and the fifteen acres of ground to be devoted to gladioli, asters and other flowers. Mr. Thompson, for- merly manager of the Swan Floral Co., of Lima, O., is an expert grower and' landscape gardener. It is the intention of the new concern to sell at both wholesale and retail. Henry E. Klun- d^r will be manager of both depart- ments. OBITUABY. L. Baumann. The death is announced of L. Bau- mann, president of L. Baumann & Co., Inc., of Chicago, as occurring at his home at Monrovia, Cal., Sunday, Feb- ruary 1.5. Mr. Baumann was a self-made man of wide acquaintance in the trade. He was born at Baden-Baden, Germany, forty-two years ago. Possessed of a keen commercial instinct and well grounded in business training, he came to America upon attaining his majority as the representative of a European house dealing in decorating materials. Exactly half his life, therefore, had been spent in selling articles of the class included under the general term of florists ' supplies. Fourteen years ago the firm of Richter & Baumann was established, but two years later F. H. Gelderman purchased the Richter inter- est and the partnership was turned into a corporation under the name of L, Bau- mann & Co. The growth of the business since that time has been not only steady but rapid. For some years Mr. Bau- mann devoted a considerable part of his time to selling goods on the road, estab- lishing a personal acquaintance with florists all over the country, but later the buying end occupied practically all his attention, necessitating his spending some months of each year in Europe. Two years ago failing health caused Mr. Banmann to retire from active partici- pation in the business and to remove to the milder climate of California, where he waged an unsuccessful battle against tuberculosis. Mr. Baumann leaves a wife and two young children. The body now is on the way from Monrovia to Chicago and interment will take place Sunday after- noon in Rosehill cemetery, with services at the chapel, probably at 2:30. MiddJetown, Del. — Eliza E. Steele is now conducting the business formerly run under the name of Edward J, Steele. Clyde, O. — The Clyde Carnationary, which is owned by the W. E. Hall es- tate, is recovering from the cold weather of last week. No loss was suf- fered, even when the temperature out- side went down to 4 below, although the night man had to call for help at 3 a. m. one morning. 24 The Florists^ Review Februabt 19, 1914.

The necessity for filing a statement of income with the government seems likely to result in improved bookkeeping on the part of a good many florists. 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. If the spring bedding season does not afford a larger volume of business than any in the past, there will be a lot of disappointed growers. The stock in preparation surely will break all records for quantity. Lent begins next Wednesday, Febru- ary 2.'), but it is not a matter of large importance to the trade as in earlier years. Recently Lent has had compara- tively little effect on the sale of plants and cut flowers. A NEW rose really receives no decisive test until the second year it is on the market. Those who like the way it starts the first season usually use their plants for stock purposes and the winter bloom- ing qualities do not become known until a year later. Did it ever occur to you, dear reader, that there wouldn't be half so much dis- appointment in- this world 'if buyers, in- stead of rushing at the cheapest offer, took time to consider that usually * ' the best is the cheapest in the long run," and that ordinarily a man's goods are worth little if any more than he asks for them? Tt certainly is true that trade stand- ards are higher now than they ever were before, and that a novelty of no more than average merit is difficult to dis- tribute widely, but it nevertheless is just as true that the man with a new variety that marks a clearly apparent advance can get a larger sale than ever before was possible. The buying power of the trade never was so large as it is today. ' Z. ^Z — "" "FAE, FAE AWAY." A few people, located near the east- ern seaboard, still appear to think that, because The Review is printed practi- cally at the center of population of tke United States, the paper would not be a good advertising medium for them. Great mistake! It makes no difference where a paper is PRINTED; the value lies in where it is READ. How could there be a better publishing, point than the center of population ? There couldn 't be, and isn't. From the e«B*er The Re- view reaches both coaste quickly. No matter how far away at seller is, The Review is nearest to the buyers. But let these Florida fern growers tell it; they are about as far away as anyone can get in that direction: In sending check to cover your January bill, we wish to say we consider thts expendi- ture the most profltable one we have. Through The Review, we certainly get the orders, all right. — Newell & Ustler, Apopka, Fla., February 9, 1914. As if that were not enough, here is a letter from a New York advertiser who finds The Review "worth its weight in gold" to the man who wants to sell at wholesale. He also has found that it is not where a paper is printed, but where it is read, that counts. Read what he says: Please do not print my ad of geraniums any more, for I have had the same experience as other advertisers who use classified ads in The Review. I should have had the ad cut out last issue, but did not have time to get word to you. I sold 34.000 plants on the first Insertion, besides re- ceiving a number of orders I could not fill. The Review certainly is some paper and worth Its weight in gold to the man who wants to sell to the trade.— Wm. J. Nlcklas, Allegany, N. Y., February 12, 1914. CHICAaO. The Great Central Market. The approach of St. Valentine's day awakened the market from the lethargy of the preceding week and gave two or three days' business that wholesalers generally report as the best ever expe- rienced in February. The rate of in- crease that was noted last year was fairly well maintained and the trade is of the opinion that St. Valentine's day, not only in Chicago, but all through the wide territory that this city serves, has become established as one of the important special flower days, to be reckoned with in years to come. While there was an excellent demand, generally speaking there was an abun- dance of stock. Certain lines devel- oped shortages, as had been expected, but there were plenty of other flowers. Excellent crops of Richmond roses cleaned up quickly and carried with them the smaller lota of Milady and Rhea Reid, leaving orders unfilled. There was a call for more Beauties than could be supplied in good quality, but there were some low grade Beauties that were hard to sell. Yellow ro86s also were short of the demand. Ward, Sun- burst and the little Cecile Brunner be- ing in special request for corsage work. Red carnations also were far short of requirements. With the exceptions noted, there were enough other flowers to meet all de- mands— and then some. Killarney was abundant, especially in the longer grades; any orders that were not filled in full were cut because the stock on hand was too fine to let go at the price. Carnations other than red were too nu- me;rpus to clean up. A large part of the receipts continued of low grade and it was the soft, split and weak-stemmed Febbuabt 19, 1014. The Florists' Review 25 BEAUTIES YOU WILL FIND NO FAULT WITH THE STOCK-NOROWITH THE PRICE |tfERE are a lot of Beauties on the market at this time of year that do not come up to the quality demanded by the Retailers* cus- tomers, but we have no hesitancy in saying: that OUR Beauties are first-class, especially the medium and long grades— good short Beauties are almost unheard of in February. If you have sale for good Beauties order of us. Let us help you build up your business. SWEET PEAS FANCY WINTER-BLOOMINO «PENCER8 These Peas are called by various names. Some people call them Orchid- flowered Peas, others Butterfly Peas, In reality they are a winter-blooming section of the true Spencer type. We introduced these Peas to this market last season. They made a wonderful bit. The supply now is far larger than before. Can fill orders, usually without notice, always if time is given to get the stock in from the greenhouses. CARNATIONS For years it has been recognized that we have the highest average quality of any large supply of carnations— almost all of our stock will meet the needs of the most exacting buyer. It not only is good stock when it leaves us, but it is good stock when it reaches the out-of-town retailer — and it pleases HIS customers.

The bulk of the receipts this season again are Enchantress and white, with moderate quantities of Winsor and other medium pinks. The greatest trouble was experienced with double violets. The fancy singles were not in large supply and cleaned up at fair prices, but the Hudson river stock was a glut, and some of it ex- tremely poor. The week had started with zero weather, which shut off the sale of violets for street wear. This resulted in an accumulation, in the face of receipts that increased as the week progressed, which could not be cleaned up. All week long the wholesalers were trying to work off old violets and there were enough buyers willing to take them at a price so that it Was impossi- ble to get even fair figures for the fresh stock. Considering the shipments that were lost, the average price of the eastern violets was so low that St. Val- entine's day will not be a pleasant memory for the Hudson river growers. Even sweet peas were plentiful. The belated crops are gathering headway. CINCINNATI HEADQUARTERS FOR CUT FLOWERS OF ALL KINDS W M. MURPHY, Wholesale Commission Florist 309 Main Street Phones Main 980-981 CINCINNATI, OHIO Mention The ReTlew when yoa write. Some of the stock is fine. Daffodils, jonquils and valley also sold well. The miscellaneous flowers that can be used for filling in low-priced boxes sold well,- including the tulips, which have been hanging fire. The few fancy bright- colored tulips have been doing well, but the short-stemmed white, pale La Keine and Murillo have been slow sale. That the retailers had a good St. Valentine's day was shown by the way they bought late Saturday and on Sun- day morning. But Sunday developed a blizzard shortly after the stores had stocked up for the day, which shut off all transient trade. The result was that the city demand was light February 16 and receipts, while somewhat curtailed, fully up to the shipping demand. The week started about the same way the preceding one did, but with no hope of so good a finish, since St. Valentine's day, like Christmas, comes but once a year. The market has been bare of violets this week because of the big storm that swept over the Hudson river district February 14. No shipments arrived Monday or Tuesday. The result was that the leftover stock was sold out and Febedabt 19, 1914.

Lent begins February 25, Ash "Wednesday, but the trade in Chicago has ceased to regard the date as of much significance. Various Notes. There have been numerous report* of frozen flowers. In a few instances the express companies have left a whole- saler's well protected shipment outdoors until it was nipped, but most of the trouble has resulted from the careless way growers wrapped incoming stock. When flowers are shipped in a loose wood box lined with oqly a few thick- nesses of newspaper, with anywhere from 20 to 40 degrees of frost in the air, it is not a matter of surprise that the express people are unable to pre- vent loss and refuse to take the blame. The use of flowers as valentines in Chicago itself showed a marked in- crease this season. Seven of the re- tailers used strong display advertise- ments in the leading daily paper. The Fleischman Floral Co., as usual, went in strongest, but E. Wienhoeber Co., C. A. Samuelson, George Wittbold Co., Muir, John Mangel and A. Lange all made good showings, featuring flowers for valentines. Not only did these ad- vertisers themselves get good increases in sales for the day, but so large a vol- ume of flower advertising must have done a great deal to stimulate the busi- ness of those who did nothing them- selves for that purpose beyond, per- haps, decorating the show window. How retail florists are awakening to the possibilities of building business through advertising is shown by the success of the McNeff-Swenson Co., in the comparatively short time it has been specializing in this field. Mr. Swenson was writing advertising for local retail florists when he became im- pressed with the opportunity for a service national in its scope. He says that already accounts have been opened with 300 florists, located all over Amer- ica, most of whom are using the com- pany's series of monthly mailing cards, 28 The Florists' Review Febbuabz 10, 1914.

One of the largest jobs of the season was the decoration of St. James church and the residence of the bride, February 12, for the Spoor-Broome wedding. The E. Wienhoeber Co., on Elm street, did the decorating and supplied the bou- quets. One of last week's visitors was S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia. He says his firm and associates have orders for over 200,000 cuttings of Carnation Philadel- phia, of which over 100,000 have been shipped. While the big orders doubt- less are in, the orders for 500 and 1,000 are coming in better than ever since the Cleveland convention. Mr. Skidelsky expects the sale to run close to 300,000 and is confident the carnation will make good all his claims for it. It gave him much pleasure that after August Poehl- mann and Guy French inspected the va- riety growing, they increased their or- der from 5,000 to 10,000. Speaking to E. J.

Estimating the total length of bars turned out for the Poehl- mann houses by Mr. Foley in the last three years, a total of over forty-two miles is reached. Buyers are each season becoming more willing to place orders in advance, according to A. Henderson, who says his firm had a good year's business for 1914 booked before the end of 1913. That yellow roses were in special re- quest for St. Valentine's day is the re- port of Harry C. Kowe, who says he was unable to find enough Saturday forenoon to fill his orders. One of the most successful of the recent additions to the ranks of the growers is Charles Poulsen. He has a not large establishment at Arlington Heights, but Kyle & Foerster say he is cutting more flowers per sqiiare foot than most of the older growers, and that his flowers average nearly a cent above the general run. He is especially successful with Victory. Standing on the shipping floor of Buchbinder Bros. last week was a re- frigerator crated for shipment to Mo- line, HI., where it will be installed in the retail store of John Klehm & Son.

McCALLUM CO., 421 High Ave., CLEVELAND, 0. Mention The Review when you write. Valentine's day brought no rush of trade to Englewood retailers, but Mr. Simmons is authority for the state- ment that J. L. Easke used 14,000 violets February 14. Tim Matchen, sales manager for Peter Keinberg, comments that the per- centage of split carnations has de- creased notably with the increase in production. February 14 was moving day for Peter Olsem, who took up his residence this week in the flat building on the premises of the Star Floriil Co., at Wilmette. Mr. Pyfer plans to move into the same building in the spring. Excellent success with Formosa lilies, from Christmas to St. Valentine's day, is reported by George Keinberg. The stock has been on extremely long stems, carrying from three to ten flowers each. He used Barnard's bulbs. Returning from a month's trip through the western section that suffered so severely in last summer's heat and drought, C. E. Pruner says he found conditions there fully as good as usual. "While some florists are not doing the usual business, others are doing more than ever before at this season. A strained back was acquired by T. E. Waters on his southern trip last week. He was barely able to be about. Good callas are excellent property this season, according to Weiland & Risch. With his 19-year-old daughter suffer- ing with neuritis at Sacred Heart sani- tarium, John Zech is a frequent visitor to Milwaukee. He reports the young lady as somewhat improved February 15.

Peter Schumer, whp was placed in charge of the new vegetable growers' cooperative commission house on South Water street, opened a few months ago, has found the work too strenuous and has resigned. Mr. Schumer is a lettuce and carnation grower. A ring around February 17 on the calendar of A. L. Vaughan & Co. was a reminder that a tip had been received that the day would see a special de- mand for red carnations. Carnation Philadelphia is one of the novelties Wietor Bros, will try out this season. If St. Valentine's day had not been good with the out-of-town buyers, Will- iam Homburg, of .T. A.

February 9 we had the change that we have been wishing for all winter and since then the weather has been cold enough to keep the fruit buds back, at least. They were just at the danger point and the earlier spring flowers, such as snowdrops and chionodoxas, were in full bloom. In fact, a few daffodils were seen in the open and there would have been hundreds in an- other week. Elms and maples were in Febuuahy 19, 1914.

Stock is low in all lines except carnations. There are plenty of these and they are as good as we gen- erally see. Dutch bulbs are also in good supply, though not so numerous as last year at this time. Cyclamens and primulas are mostly cleaned up and cinerarias are coming in freely. Made- up boxes continue to be the best sellers, however. St. Valentine's day was pre- pared for by the trade and was pretty well advertised in the daily papers, but there was not so heavy a demand as might have been wished. Still, business was good. The chief drawback was the fact that violets were scarce here and the best ones were all shipped in. Roses are decidedly off crop, and the summer varieties are about all that are Announcement We will move March Ist to our New Building at 264- 266 Randolph St., where we will be fully equipped to take care of the trade.

Snapdragons are scarce and are snapped up as soon as they appear. Customers were inquiring for spring bulbs ten days ago, but are quiet about them now. Tree planting goes merrily on. The demand for evergreens amounts almost to a craze. The dwarf growers are about all that are in demand; they are wanted for beds and for grouping about foundations. Various Notes. McTntyre Bros, have some unusually good orchids. One variety, in par- ticular, is equal to the better cattleyas. The members of the firm are so well pleased with the results of their last season's purchase that they are buying an additional supply of orchids. They report good business for the last week. The .Toys are cutting heavily of some of the best sweet peas ever seen in the city. They have a large house of them that are just beginning to bloom well. They say that they sell much better than the smaller varieties.

They gave a demon- stration for the Dupont Powder people while the nurserymen were there. J. H. Corbitt's place is crowded with spring stock and he was never better prepared for a good spring business. He is growing bedding plants almost exclusively this season. Haury & Sons are managing to keep their stock well cleaned up most of the time. Their primroses are still a fea- ture of their windows. They are sell- ing large quantities of Dutch bulbs in pots, especially Golden Spur. Some of the smaller growers who have no retail place, and who devote only a part of their time to growing pot plants, have wagons on the street every warm day now, with hyacinths and ferns. Joe Brown, of Lischey's Gardens, continues in tolerably good health and it really looks as though he were recov- ering from his long illness. He says that business with him is about normal this year. Geny Bros, have had an unusually heavy cut of carnations right along and their bulbous stock is extra good. They say that business has improved de- cidedly of late. They have some of the best violets that have been seen thus far this season, and a good cut of them, too. At Mt.

This is the important fact that stands out boldly in reviewing the business at St. Valentine's. Great preparations were made. Violets came to ' ' The East- ern Market " ' from the local growers of fancy singles, from the home of Lady Hume Campbell at Hightstown, X. J., and from the Hudson river, as well as from many other places. They came by the hundreds, by the thousands, by the tens of thousands; so many that the price asked for them was moderate, from $7.30 per thousand down to $5. 80 many were left at the close of the day that they will not average the grow- ers anj'thing like these prices. Possibly the storm and the cold February 13 and 14 had something to do with this. Un- doubtedly the lateness of some of the shipments affected the result, but there is no question that the demand wa? not there. People were not hunting violets ; they were hunting other flowers; that is the truth in a sentence. Sweet peas, now so fine, V»oth in the winter-blooming and the Spencer type, have partly dis- placed violets. Orchids had something to do with this change of public senti- ment, too. Gardenias have suffered with their bosom friend, the violet. Roses and carnations have been quite scarce, especially roses in the shorter grades. Daffodils are plentiful and of good quality. The former, but not the latter, applies to tulips.

Double violets were in large supply and did not clean up at all satisfactorily. Both red roses and red carnations cleaned up. Orchids found a fair market, but not nearly what was expected for them. Roses still are short of the call. The dark weather that accompanied the heavy snows of the last few days has reduced the cuts to a minimum. Carna- tions are generally in good supply. The receipts of giganteum lilies have de- creased considerably and all are clean- ing up in a hurry. Calla receipts, too, are limited. Bulbous oflferings include tulips, narcissi, hyacinths, jonquils, daffodils and freesias. . Other offerings include snapdragons, marguerites and wallflowers. The supply of all kinds of greens is adequate. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell offered Acacia pubes- cens last week and says it sold well. E. G. Gillett reports a good sale for violets for St. Valentine's day. When you greet Robert Ruttle, of Covington, you must address him as grandpa. His grandson has been named for him. A. Horning has been sending some fin« daffodils and narcissi to L. H. Kyrk. Arcade Floral Shop F. W. KUMMERp Prop. 309 KING ST. CHARLESTON, S. C. GEORGE M.

Keller Sons had a unique win- dow decoration last week, which showed Cupid, suspended from the ceil- ing, with wings of white chiffon, being drawn through the air by a flock of doves. Their St. Valentine's day trade was quite large. Mrs. C. W. Curtis was confined to her room last week with a severe at- tack of tonsilitis. There is a great deal of sickness about at present, and nearly all the stores have been short-handed on this account. The bowling match between Buffalo and Rochester florists will be held Friday, February 20, at the Grand Cen- tral alleys. Supper will be served at Hotel Eggleston before the game. Paul Campus, who occupies an out- door stand at the Four Corners, says business with him is quite satisfactory, although the severe weather has made a difference the last week. His helper, Louis Bretenbercher, has been sick with an attack of grip, but is back on the job feeling quite well again. Frank Bohnke is looking around for a boiler for his new greenhouse and hopes to have everything in good run- ning order in a few days. He expects to begin almost immediately to fill his new house with bedding stock. F. Mossgraber reports everything in a prosperous condition. His carnations have been doing finely and he is well pleased with the returns they have brought. The vegetable growers complain that BOSTON.i'sef J.

The monthly meeting of the Eoches- ter Florists' Association was held in Musicians' hall Monday, February 9. O. E. Wiig, gardener for several years at the Kew Botanical Gardens, Lon- don, England, told of the wonders of those famous gardens. President Dun- bar designated Wm. H. Dildine, C. B. Ogston, Fred Vick and F. J. Keller to attend farmers' week at Cornell Uni- versity, and appointed chairmen of com- mittees as follows: George B. Hart, entertainment; C. B. Ogston, essays; W. H. Dildine, finance; H. P. Neun, audit; W. T. Logan, membership; A. H. Seck- ler, lookout, and H. E. Bates, bowling. A full-length casket blanket of Easter lilies, roses, orchids and lilacs was made by H. E. Wilson for the fu- neral of Fred Cobb, of the Cobb Pre- serving Co., last week. Several other large designs and sprays were fur- nished for the same funeral by this firm. Henry P. Neun put in a busy week. Counter trade and funeral work kept the force quite busy.

The market was well stocked last week and the demand was reported as the best for some time. In retail circles it is said that every day was good except February 13, when a snow storm raged. All florists had a big business for St. Valentine's day. This day is increasing in popularity each season and may be classed among the big flower days of the year. As to cut stock, violets had the largest demand and prices went up somewhat; from 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred was asked, and all the markets cleaned up daily the latter part of the week. Sweet peas, too, had a great call and all good grades sold well. There were plenty of good carnations, roses and valley. Bulbous stock was looked for and was of extra fine quality, especially tulips, Easter lilies and Von Sions. Paper Whites and Romans are again plentiful. From re- ports of local growers, bulbous stock promises to be fine from now on. Asparagus was in great demand last week, as were ferns, but smilax dragged.

The Florists' Club held its monthly meeting February 12. President Pilcher was unable to be present and Vice-Pres- ident Jaenicke presided. The publicity committee made its report, through Chairman R. J. Windier. Inasmuch as the local florists had not supported the committee, he recommended the dis- charge of the committee, which was done. Chairman Frank Windier re- ported for the trustees on the an- niversary banquet and stated that arrangements are not complete. It was decided that the banquet be held in •Tune, but the date and all other ar- rangements were left in the hands of the trustees. The fall flower show came up for dis- cussion, but after several members had given their opinion on the question, it was laid over for final disposition at the next meeting. R. .1. Windier, state vice-president of the S. A. F., read a letter from Presi- dent Wirth regarding the club's affilia- tion with the national society. After a lengthy discussion this was recom- mended and the secretary was in- structed to inform Secretary John Young of this action. .John Steidle, of Olivette, Mo., staged a fine vase of a pink carnation, a seedling he has grown for the last few years, but owing to the unfavorable weather of late it was not at its best, so that the club took no action on it. •T.

He has advertised it exclu- sively in The Review, Charles Beyer is showing some extra fine bulbous stock in pots and pans. The tulips, especially, are well flowered. These had an extra good demand for St. Valentine's day. Herman Weber, son of Fred C. Weber, who is now a resident of Chicago, was married there February 14. Mrs. Weber and daughter, Adele, attended the wed- ding and will remain several days. The five wholesale houses all handled large consignments of violets and sweet peas February 13 and 14. Violets, though, were not so plentiful as last year, and sold out early at good prices, which ranged from 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred. Sweet peas were plentiful at the same prices. Burglars entered the residence of Fred C. Weber, Jr., 5846 Waterman avenue, February 14, and in the absence of the family got away with much of value, including clothing, cut glass and silver. The wind storm of February 15 broke a large pane of glass in the rear of Miss M. S. Newman's store at Spring avenue and Olive street. The cold did a lot of damage to the plants before repairs could be made. The Retail Florists' Association met February 16 at Beers' hotel and elected officers for the ensuing year. A. S. Cerny, of Kirkwood, had a loss of $2,000 by fire February 9. The mem- bers of the County Growers' Club, on hearing of the fire, got together and made the repairs in short order. Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell Bros Co., was the hero of the occasion.

Mai«i«, Minneapolii; Secre- ttJv-Treaiurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Thlrty-iecond annual convention, Wasningrton, D. C, June 83 to 26, 1914. The Texas truckers are not planting onions as heavily as formerly. The spring season is opening in excel- lent shape for the southern seed houses. Otto Gunther, an employe of the Nebraska Seed Co., took his own life by inhaling illuminating gas Friday, Feb- ruary 13. Arnold Eingier, secretary of the W. W. Barnard Co., has been confined to his home in Chicago by ilhiess since his return from the canners' convention at Baltimore. The Dorman-Shaw Seed Co. has been incorporated at Los Angeles, Cal., with a capital stock of $10,000. The incor- porators are Eobert H. Dorman, Charles Shaw and A. J. Mitchell. One of the unique publications of the season is "The Food Value of Fresh Vegetables," an essay by a college pro- fessor which W. Atlee Burpee has pub- lished as a 16-page pamphlet with pen- and-ink illustrations. Last summer, during the protracted season of heat and drought in the middle west the cold storage giganteum lilies gave poor results and many growers can- celed their orders. Later deliveries of the same bulbs gave good flowers. Since the appearance of Burpee's An- nual with Matchless tom^ito on the cover and an "apology" on page 20 for the size of the cut, the firm has received several letters stating that the writers nave grown Matchless as large or even larger than the picture. These have now been printed as a circular for stuffing mail. The probabilities are that after the Holland growers have cut, and cut, and cut on each other's prices for a season or two they will conclude there isn't much money in gladiolus bulbs, and that many of them will drop out of the business. When that time comes there will be a fair margin for those who grow a list of good sorts in moderate quantity. Curtis Nye Smith, the Boston attor- ney retained by the American Seed Trade Association, is preparing an ex- haustive paper on the disclaimer for presentation at the .lune meeting at Washington. In assigning the topic to Mr. Smith the executive committee evi- dently had in mind that Mr. Smith would show the trade how to make the disclaimer stick better than it does for many seedsmen. Seedsmen who issue catalogues weigh- ing in excess of eight ounces are figuring on the course to pursue for next season. In a number of cases books will be cut down to come within the 8-ounce limit, either by reducing the size of the pages or the number of pages. In certain cases it is figured the seedsman with a heavy catalogue can escape the operation of the law by shipping his books by freight to a central distributing point from which everything within a radius of I.IO miles can be covered for 5 cents Braslan' Lane wholesale growers of ONION, LETTUCE.

Page estimates the attendance as be- tween 6,000 and 7,000. THE COST OF THE SEEDS. The Department of Agriculture esti- mates the expense of seeds on farms operated by owners is 2.1 per cent of the total cost of running the farm. This is based on 273 farms. The Expense of seeds on farms operated by tenants, 247 farms, is given as follows: Farm total, 2.5 per cent; tenant, 1.1 per cent; land- lord, 1.4 per cent. E. H. P. THIS IS THE BILL TO SUPPORT. Of the dozen or so bills that have been introduced in one or the other branch of Congress for the purpose of including seeds and plants in the parcel post, that of Representative L'Engle, introduced February 11, is the one the seed trade should support. It would give parcels of seeds up to half a pound the benefit of the present flat rate and admit the more bulky parcels to the ad- vantages of the local zone rates; in other words, the L'Engle bill would make the postage on seeds and plants the same as it will be on catalogues after March 15. Here is the bill in full: A BILL, H. K. 13229 To fix the rates of postage on seeds, cuttings, bulbs; roots, scions and plants. Be It enacted by the Senate and Bouse of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress assembled. That hereafter postage on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants, weighing eight ounces or less, shall be 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof; and on such matter weighing In excess of eight ounces the regular zone rates applicable to other fonrtli-olass mail shall apply. Sec. 2. Tliat nil laws and parts of laws In conflict lierewith iire liereby repealed. The bill was referred to the commit- tee on postoffice and post roads, where the other bills on the same subject have gone. A bill to similar effect was introduced February 12 by Representative Lieb. It reads as follows: .V BILL. 11. K. 13310 To establish the rates of postage on seeds, cut- tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Reprosentativps of the United States of America In Congress assembled. That hereafter parcel post rates sliall be extended to include seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants, except In the event said articles weigh less than nine ounces, when the charge shall be 1 cent for eacli two oun<-es nr fraction thereof. Sec. 2. Th.Tt all laws and parts of I.tws in confliit herewith .-ire heieby repealeil. NEBRASKA PURE SEED LAW. A bulletin summarizing the provi- sions of the Nebraska pure seed law has been prepared in the office of the state commission in charge of its enforce- ment and will be sent out to all firms affected by it.

They are en- deavoring to develop seed from plants showing great disease resistant power. In the hope of developing disease re- sistant strains, they are sowing seed from healthy plants which have been found in. badly blighted fields. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

Please give me some information on growing Grand Rapids lettuce in a hot- bed; also, how to keep worms from Early Scarlet Globe radish. I will also grow- the Early Spring cabbage, and Sparks' Earliana and Champion Dwarf tomatoes. Are these good forcing vari- eties? If not, please give me the names of good early sorts. My lettuce plants in the greenhouse arc not stocky. Please give me advice about them. The size of my hotbed is 6x12 feet, hold- ing ten inches of manure and three inches of soil. The location is north- western Pennsylvania. H. M. A foot of warm horse manure should ))e used for any hotbed crop of lettuce in your latitude. If made up between February 15 and March 15, six inches of soil should cover this. It should be well mixed with horse manure and should be allowed to become thoroughly warm before any lettuce plants are set in it. Radishes need not have much manure in the soil; they will corne cleaner skinned without it. Worms in the soil will do no particular harm to the lettuce. Cutworms must be hand- picked, or a poison must be laid for them, composed of fresh shorts, molasses and Paris green, just enough of the lat- ter to color the mash, and add sufficient water to make it pasty. Trv Copenhagen Market or Selected .Jersey Wakefield for early cabbages. They* are superior to Early Spring. Sparks' Earliana and Dwarf Champion are not good forcing tomatoes. Try Lister's Prolific, Comet, or that grand new variety, Terrace Hall. All these are special forcing varieties, and will give at least 100 per cent more fruit than Earliana and Champion. C. W. LARViE IN MUSHROOM HOUSE. I have fixed up an abandoned green- house for mushroom growing, but made the mistake of not thoroughly cleaning the house and of using some old soil for casing some of the beds. The soil seems to have contained some small particles of manure that have bred in- numerable quantities of white, hair-like larva?, about one-sixteenth to one- eighth of an inch long. They spread out over the beds, but are most numer- ous on the boards and in the corners. On the boards they cluster in bunches. In fact, I at first supposed them to be mold, such as gets on wood in moist places. The larvae finally turn into small black flies. Both larvae and flies 5 Northern Grown Especially For Forcing Florists' failure in forcing Gladiolus Bulbs was due to a large portion being imported or grown in sections where seasons were long and Bulbs did not mature properly.

The question now is: How can I get rid of the larvaj on the woodwork, and the flies? A salt water solution as strong as two pounds to ten gallons does not do the work. Could I safely use fir tree oil soap for a spray, and fumigate with hydrocyanic acid gas without in- jury to the growing mushrooms? What remedies would you suggest? E. D. C. Fir tree oil, if used, would probably kill many of the larvae, but it would, at the same time, render any mush- rooms it might touch unfit to use. A fumigation would be the best way to clean out the pests. As there are, no doubt, quantities of unhatched eggs, a second fumigation would probably be necessary two days later. Hydrocyanic acid gas would be the most effective fumigant, and a weak dose would suf- fice. It would not harm the mush- rooms. If the gas does not reach all the pests, it may be necessary to bore holes fifteen inches apart each way in the bed and pour half a teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide in each, immediately covering the holes. While this would not harm the mushrooms, it would prob- RARE OFFER OF High-grade Gladiolus Bulbs I offer my Surplus Stock for early Spring delivery at the following attractive prices: 10.000 Whita and Llsht MIxtura, first size $12.00 per 1000 10,000 Rad MIxtura, first size 10.00 per lOOO The Light and White, and the Red Mixtures are made up of the Gtold Medal and the World's Fair sections of Groff'a Hybrids, and are strictly high-grade stock.

W. TOMATOES UNDERSIZED. I am growing indoor tomatoes and have three houses of Comet. These have set well and there is a great quan- tity of fruit, some of which is now ripening off. They were planted be- tween September 30 and October 2. The fruit, however, is quite small; few fruits as yet are over three and one-half ounces, and most of them smaller. I grew the same variety last year and it was much larger. Can I do anything to make the fruit swell to larger sizef The beds, which are solid, have been once top-dressed with bone meal and new soil, and some with * * 2-6-8 ' ' and new soil. I know the Comet to be a small variety, but I think the indi- vidual fruits this year are smaller than usual, many not over two ounces. E. N. W. Comet is not a large tomato. In com- mon with the majority of indoor varie- ties it produces large bunches of me- dium to small fruit. These are usually preferred in winter to larger ones. Most of the big wholesalers, in the east at least, prefer tomatoes which average six to the pound. If, however, your fruit is running smaller than a year ago, there must be a reason for it. Are you sure your soil is all right? If it is, and the plants need feeding, give it either in the form of liquid cow ma- nure, or in top-dressings of cow or sheep manure. In midwinter Comet and other forcing tomatoes run smaller than in spring and, at this dull season of the year, heavy feeding will only aggravate the trouble. I would suggest keeping a night tem- perature of 60 to 62 degrees, with a dry atmosphere. Shorten back the leaves somewhat to let more light on the fruit. If reduced size seems in any way due to soil starvation, feed in a moderate way. Allow the beds to dry out well between waterings. Be sure to use care in seed selection. Choose only the finest fruits on the most vigorous plants. If you find Comet too small for your customers, there are larger varieties you should try another season. C. W.

The Market. There has been during the last week a much better tone to business, though it is difficult to account for it. There have been no more people in town, the death list has been shorter and the weather has been all that could be de- sired for outdoor rather than indoor entertainment. As one retailer given to slangy expression said, "You can't dope it out; you just got to take it as it comes. ' ' Not for many moons has there been such a shortage of the little Cecile Brunner roses. They were more plentiful even at this time last year, after the frost, than now, and it is dif- ficult to find a dozen good bunches. "Baby" roses are so popular here now that it is really difficult to get along without them. Other roses from out- side are scarce also, but the indoor stock is in good shape and the former are not much missed. Carnations have been on the short side for a time, many splits occurring and rendering the cut practically useless. Freesias are now at their best; Purity is the only variety that brings anything like a price. By the looks of things, growers of freesias are making about as much as anybody now. Bulb- ous stock is not particularly good so far. Both daffodils and tulips are away below the average quality for this time of year, while hyacinths probably were never so poor. The peculiar thing about it is that locally grown bulbs suffer equally with the Dutch product. Once again the futility of growing the extremely early tulips has been proved and growers will probably take the lesson to heart this time. Various Notes. Robert Fulton, representing Henry & Lee, and C. B. Knickman, of McHutchi- son & Co., both of New York, have been calling on the trade here in the interests of their firms. Wolfskin's & Morris Goldenson had the class bouquet for the Los Angeles high school pupils, supplying 77 bunches of daffodils with golden j'ellow chiffon. Funeral work also keeps up well here. At the Los Angeles Flower Market's new store I noted an especially fine lot of cyclamens and large kentias. Busi- ness is fine here. Tulips, ranunculus and some early Spanish iris were among the showings last week at the store of the H. N. Gage Co. Murata & Co. have some of the finest violets ever seen in Los Angeles and trade is reported as good. Howard & Smith report an ever in- creasing demand for ornamentals of all kinds and their landscape department is flourishing. At a specially called meeting of the Los Angeles County Horticultural So- ciety, February 11, Fred Howard, chair- man of the committee on the 1915 ex- hibition, made his report and briefly outlined the plan that has been ma- turing for some time past. This is to obtain possession of a large tract of mountain and canyon land near Mount Our buaineas in Carnation Cut- tinges is breakings all records. The Review is our only means of advertisingf.— Hollywood Gar- dens, Hollywood, Wash., Janu- ary 8, 1914. Hollywood, in Griffith park, and by planting bright flowering stock of dif- ferent kinds make fullest use of the beauties so lavishly produced by nature. There is in this tract a natural amphi- theater backed by hills covered with live oaks and cut up with deep canyons, only needing the veneer of surface planting and the application of water to make it one of the most lovely spots on earth. San Francisco and San Diego have both big projects in hand, but from a landscape point of view neither city could compare with what Los Angeles has at her gates, needing only the touch of the gardener and the magic of water. Over the natural rocks cascades of water could be formed with practically no expense, the water then flowing into ponds and small lakes planted to aquatics and edged with moisture-loving plants. The idea is too good to let slip and if, owing to finan- cial reasons orTiny red tape regulations, this chance is allowed to slip by, it will be a lasting disgrace to Los An- geles horticulture. A bunch of Freesia Purity, grown by the originator, Eudolph Fischer, of San Gabriel, is before me as I write and I have never seen more perfect flowers. They are pure in color and quite large, on stiff stems, just the kind florists need. Mr. Fischer is working stock of an absolutely pure white type with- out a tinge of any color, as well as a number of new colored forms. James McGilvray is beginning to make quite a show in the new green- houses at Eastlake park. Several or- chids and other flowering plants look fine and there is a good prospect in the fine stock of rhododendrons now advancing for flower. Mr. McGilvray shows with pardonable pride the ele- gant gold watch presented him by the Pasadena boys at the expiration of his term as president of their society. H. R. Richards. PORTLAND, ORE.

Daflfodils, tulips, hya- cinths and freesias vv^ere the most fa- vored. Carnations and roses are grad- ually increasing in quantity, but as yet there is no surplus. Roses have un- usually good color and move readily. There is more of a variety of bloom- ing plants shown; tulips, hyacinths, aza- leas, cyclamens, cinerarias and white lilac are the most salable. Special St. Valentine's day windows were pre- dominant. While there was a scarcity of red roses, red carnations and tulips in pans and fancy baskets proved good sellers. The week-end business showed a general increase over that of previous years. Various Notes. E. T. Mische, city park superintend- ent, says he has planted out this season 2,000 Acer macrophyllum and about 15,000 evergreens and hardy shrubs in the various streets. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club was held February 10. Consid- erable business was transacted, and the attention of the members was called to the fact that in the future the society will meet every third Thursday, at Ma- sonic Temple hall, instead of at Archi- tectural hall, as in the past. Resolu- tions were passed to hold a spring flower show at the public library, de- tails and time to be determined at a later date.

SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Market conditions have experienced a decided change, owing to a succession of bright days. Roses are again at a normal price and in good supply. Among the best are Russells, American Beauties and Killarneys. There has been a heavy influx of spring flowers during the week. Particularly strong has been the offering of daffodils and the market for these is unsettled. Vend- ers arc selling them at ridiculously low figures. Largo quantities of flowering fruits are available; acacias also are ar- riving in profusion. Tulips are coming in gradually and are excellent sellers. Freesias are deteriorating in quality and are not moving as rapidly as last week. Violets are still fairly good sell- ers, particularly in conjunction with jonquils. Cattleya Trianse is still in good supply, but the flowers are not so large and perfect as during the early part of .January. The Irish Fire Flame rose, of recent adoption, has ceased to be a novelty and is much sought for. Fine sprays of daphne are among the offerings of the week and prove to be wonderfully good sellers. Club Meeting. The meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was held Feb- ruary 7. An important feature of the evening was the installation of the of- ficers for the ensuing year, which was impressively conducted by J. W. Bagge. The officers are as follows: President, H. Plath; vice-president, Thomas Tay- lor; corresponding secretary, Walter A. Hofinghoff; financial secretary, B. Meyer; treasurer, Donald McLaren; li- brarian, H. Kempf ; ushers, D. Raymond and .John Pos; trustee, John McLarep. The following new members were in- itiated: Charles Rice, Gerrard Samson, W. Ehrich. Gardner A. Dailey, A, H. Serveau, Peter A. De Vries, Andrew Butvil and Frank Thatcher. The monthly exhibition included a finely flowered Cattleya Triana; contain- ing forty blooms, exhibited by the Mac- Rorie-McLaren Co. and awarded 95 points. Dr. .1. P. Parker, of Santa Cruz, exhibited a plant of Cattleya Tri- anse alba, carrying two flowers, which caused considerable comment and admi- ration. Various Notes. It is interesting to hear that the flo- rists of Sacramento have organized a horticultural society, with Mark Ebel as president and W. .1. Meldrum as sec- • retary. The object of this society will be to cooperate with the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society of San Francisco, particularly in securing the convention of the Society of American Florists for San Francisco in lOl.*}. The organiza- tion will undoubtedly be of general ben- efit to Sacramento, in improving local conditions. Members of the nursery trade, as well as florists, will be in- cluded in the roll. C. B.

A SUIT has been brought for the dis- solution of the Muskogee Wholesale Nur- sery Co., at Muskogee, Okla., by Clar- ence E. De Groot, a stockholder. He declares the concern has been neglected by the directors, who, he says, never meet. There are two judgments against the concern which have not been satis- fied. He asks that either a receiver be appointed with full powers to run the business and a new board of directors be elected, or the company be dissolved. NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. Second Meeting of Live Organization. The New England Nurserymen's As- sociation will hold its second annual meeting at the Hotel Bond, at Hart- ford, Conn., Tuesday and Wednesday, February 24 and 25. Although this is only the second year of the existence •of this associartion, it has already proved itself a live organization, of much help as well as interest to the members of the nursery trade in that section. Its meeting next week should, therefore, ■draw a large attendance. An additional attraction at Hartford during the week of the meeting will be the automobile show. The first session will open at 1 p. m., February 24, and after the president's address, presentation of reports and ap- pointment of new committees, the bug question, in which nurserymen of this section are vitally interested just now, will engross the attention of the mem- bers. The chief inspectors of the New England states and the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture have been invited to lead the discussion on this subject. Following this conference, the subject of "Forestry and Its Eelation to the Nurserymen" will be taken up by Pro- fessor J. W. Toomey, director of the Yale Forestry .School, and W. O. Filley, Connecticut state forester. A paper by E. F. Coe, of New Haven, Conn., on "Local Eetail Nursery and Sales Grounds" will close the session. Dinner by Connecticut Nur8er3rmen.

After this a paper on "The Nurserymen and Public Parks" will be presented by Geo. A. Parker, superintendent of parks at Hartford, and another on "Evergreens for New England," by Henry Kelly, of New Canaan, Conn. After lunch a discussion of "Proper Methods of Growing Herbaceous Stock in the Nursery" will be taken up by A. E. Eobinson, Daniel A. Clarke, Ju- lius Heurlin, George C. Thurlow and John Kirkegaard. Papers on "Im- ported Nursery Stock," by W._JI. Wy- man, of North Abington, Mass., and on "Early History of the Nursery Busi- ness," by F. E.

The First National bank holds a judgment against the company for the sum of $58,168.12. i The purchase was made at a public sale held at the company's warehouse Monday, February 2, but report of the sale was not made until the following Saturday. The First National bank was the only bidder, but in his report to the court Eeceiver C, W. McDonald expressed the belief that the sale was an advantageous one. Judge Thornell approved the sale. In February, 1913, the First National bank obtained judgment for $58,168.12 against the F. W. Meneray Co., the judgment being based on several prom- issory notes held by the bank. At the time the bank instituted suit, C. W. McDonald was appointed receiver. When judgment was rendered, the de- cree provided for the sale of all the real estate and of the nursery stock of the company. Painter Knox and A. W. Tyler were appointed appraisers of the property, and their report, as filed be- fore the sale, fixed the value of the property at $45,246.01. KELSEY ON THE OUTLOOK. Frederick W. Kelsey, president of the F. W. Kelsey Nursery Co., with head- quarters at 150 Broadway, New York, also is interested in a number of the larger railroad and industrial corpora- tions, including one of the largest banks in the city, and having been established downtown in the vicinity of though not in Wall street for so many years, has, perhaps, exceptional facilities for ob- taining the viewpoint of the largest business interests of the country.

"The fact that no more money panics are likely to occur under the new law is in itself enough to open the way per- manently for more stable conditions of credit everywhere. The dbuble advan- tage under the new system of having the surplus cash of the country and the commercial credits available from the regional banks in various parts of the country should also remove the causes for money disturbances, as they have under the present banking law existed for the fifty years since the Civil war. "When the new banking system is in full operation, every manufacturer, nur- seryman or proprietor of other business enterprise, in the hands of honest, ca- pable men whose records show a clean and prosperous business, can obtain the requisite credit without submitting to the exacting commissions not infre- quently demanded and paid on loans from responsible borrowers under the present conditions.

It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety at its best.

We know it sounds good. It sounds so good because it happens to be true. This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation over night. We have been handling it for a little over two years and ought to know something about it. IT'S A REAL RED Perhaps we should call it Scarlet, because it is a live, glowing Red. Better still, it is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means to the man who is depending on us. JOY has been described by Mr. E. H.

Flow- ers, especially roses, are somewhat scarce. Carnations and bulbous stock are in much better supply. There have been a good many funerals lately, as well as social affairs, so flowers are in demand. St. Valentine 's day is proving to be a profitable day for the florists. As the people are becoming more and more appreciative of flowers for valen- tines, the florists should help things along by advertising and using special boxes for the flowers sent out. There is no reason why this day should not be as great a day for the florists as any other holiday. Various Notes. Julius Niednagel arrived home unex- pectedly and reports an exceedingly enjoyable trip abroad. He is cutting a large number of carnations of fine qual- ity, for which there is a good demand. Business is rushing here, as usual. Karl Zeidler, Jr., has bought the busi- ness of the Evansville Floral Co. and is conducting the store on Second street. ■ The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. reports the usual good business. Valentine's day was a good day for this firm. They had special flower boxes, which were strikingly appropriate, and which at- tracted considerable attention when displayed in their windows. Their cut of roses and carnations is good. Mrs. M. L. Doerr reports a big im- provement in trade as compared with Peerless Pink THE PEERLESS LEADER The only dark pink that is prolific. Peerless Pink will produce all perfect blooms.

The Florists' Review 86 The World's Best Cannas We try out all new introductions for at least two years before endorsing or rejecting same, and if they are not improvements over existing sorts, or decided novelties, we do not offer them to you. The following varieties of recent introduction stand out prominently as the best of their respective types and colors, and you will mak« no mistake in accepting our endorsement of the ten varieties here offered. SPECIAL. — Note the reduction in price of the three leaders — Hung:aria, the ideal pink, Qustav Qumpper, yellow, and Mrs. Alfred Conard, popular salmon pink. Marcs. The best white bedder, in color about the Gustav Gumpper. Another season's trial strengthens us In again recommending this as the ideal rich yellow bedding Canna; the flowers of good size are held well above the foliage, the fine trusses always clean looking; in habit of growth very uniform; color a rich golden-yellow, a shade that has been missing heretofore and which can be seen as far as the eye will carry; 3% to 4 feet. 20 cts. each; fl.25 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1,000. Hungaria. The ideal pink bedding Canna; flowers large, in good sized trusses, produced early, freely and continuously, in color not unlike that of the Paul Neyron Rose. Com- pared to all other pink varieties, it possesses a softness and refinement not found in any other sort; 3 to 3% feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per ICO; $90.00 per 1,000. Louis Reverchon. This was one of the best dark-leaved red-flowering varieties in our trials during the past three years. A block of about 2,000 plants attracted great atten- tion. The flowers are very large, of a cochlneal-red color, very freely produced on vigorous plants with light bronze foliage; 4% to 5 feet. 10 cts. .each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1,000. Meteor. There are two varieties of Cannas being sold under the name of Meteor, one a German Introduction which can be bought very cheap. We offer the American variety and it is the Canna you want, as it is the best red flower- ing Canna in commerce. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. Mrs. Alfred F. Conard. A most remarkable variety, with exquisite salmon-pink flowers of largest size in erect and abundantly furnished heads, so freely produced as to keep a superb showing of bloom for months above the rich green foliage; 4 feet. 20 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1,000. Roiea Gigantea. Extra large flowers, borne in such abun- dance that the mass of color on each plant la truly amaz- ing; individual petals are 2% inches across; a deep, rich rose, almost a coral-carmine. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1,000. same as Mont Blanc Improved, but produces not only three or fopr times as many flowers, and, as the old flowers shed them- selves, it always presents a clean and tidy appearance. Maros in our fields attracted great attention, forming great broad clean bands of white. Its habit is perfect, filling every requirement of a tip-top bedder. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1,000. Uhlberg. E)ntlrely distinct and one of the freest-flowering varieties we have ever grown. The flowers expand very full and are of a soft rosy-carmine; the throat of the flower is of a creamy-yellow and the edges of the petals, which are slightly crimped, are also pale yellow. This variety attracted much attention at our trials; 3 feet. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. Undine. Unquestionably the best of its type, and we heartily recommend it either for massing or as single specimens in the border. Its growth is dwarf and graceful, with green foliage, and its flowers, which are produced very freely, are of a bright orange-scarlet broadly edged with golden yellow; a most satisfactory variety in every way; 3% feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per lOO. William Bates. A splendid free-flowering pure yellow Canna that has attracted much attention. The size of its flowers, of its trusses, its habit of growth are all that can be desired; a variety that will become a great favorite; 5 feet. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. The varieties Meteor and Uhlberg will be supplied in growing plants, all others in roots. Twenty-five at hundred rates; 250 or more at thousand rates.

Business in this city has been fine the last week, and the demand for stock has been so heavy that the supply is exceed- ingly short. Beauties are still only read about on trade price lists. Roses are of fine quality and bring good prices. Carnations are selling well, despite the fact that there is plenty of bulb stock available. Owing to the fine valley and sweet peas on the market the sale of violets is not quite so heavy, although many thousands were disposed of for St. Valentine's day. St. Valentine's day was the best by far ever experienced in this city. There are still some flower merchants who have not much faith in these special days, but they are few, in this city at least. About thirty of the local men, both re- tail and growers, as well as the whole- sale house, advertised St. Valentine's day in cooperative advertisements in all the papers and with splendid results. Many attractive window displays were also seen, and I doubt if the florists in the outlying districts and those situated in the heart of the city but who as a rule make no special displays appreciate the value of these elaborate windows. The public certainly does, and shows its appreciation by patronizing the mer- chant who suggests flowers for every occasion through his windows.

ROBERT CRAIG CO., 4900 Market St., Philadelphia Mention The Review when yon write. this year was heavy for plants antl bas- kets at moderate prices. Cut flowers, of course, were most popular and hun- dreds of corsage bouquets were used. Nearly all the violets arriving from the east were badly frozen on arrival here. Various Notes. E. A. Fetters purchased a handsonu* new touring car last week and is now wishing for nice summer weather. P. L. McKee, of the .John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, has been in Detroit for about a week with his family. Mr. Mc- Kee was much interested in tests of a new boiler made for his firm by a De- troit concern. He reports business ;is having been exceptionally good; in fact, his firm lacks but little of having done as much business so far this year as all of last year. In reporting tlic dancing party given by the florists' wives February 4, the writer made an error in not giving S. S. Skidelsky proper credit for his contribu- tion. Plants donated by Charles Plilinb brought $25 when sold at auction and one handsome combination of lilacs, aza- leas, etc., donated by S. 8. Skidelsky also brought .$*2."). The Michigan Cut Flower Kxchange will soon be located in its new home at •264 and 266 Randolph street. The whole building, with a frontage of forty feet, four stories high, will be devoted to the interests of this concern. It is well lo- cated, being right in the midst of the many flower stores. A large part of the stock has already been moved to the new quarters and by March 1 they will be entirely moved. H. S. CLEVEIiANDERS VISIT SALEM.

Walbrldge & Company The Ortclnal Patentees and Makers Buffalo, N. Y. COLUMBUS, O. The Market. Trade was extra heavy here for St. Valentine's day and an enormous quan- tity of stock was disposed of. There was a large quantity of stock in the city and besides that a great deal was shipped in, much of which was frozen in transit. Some dealers had most of their stock frozen that was shipped in, and it was quite a loss to them, as well as disappointment to the customers. A regular blizzard struck Columbus Friday and about nine inches of snow fell, with the mercury hovering about the zero mark. This made it hard to deliver cut flowers and plants. The snow started in again Sunday evening. There was a large quantity of potted plants disposed of for St. Valentine's day, including a great many azaleas and fancy plants. In cut flowers, violets seemed to take the lead, with sweet peas a close second. Carnations came in for their usual demand and were cleaned up early. Roses were in good demand, with a fair supply, while there were quantities of bulbous stock on the mar- ket. About everything was cleaned up that was salable. The general opinion is that trade was even heavier than last year, when it broke all records. Most of the florists were in on the full-page advertising in the newspapers and they lay great stress ori the results obtained ffom it. .,1 , Various Notes. ; 'Wilson's Seed Store is doing business in the new quarters and has things fixed up in good shape. The Munk Tloral Co. reports heavy St. Valentine's day business, both whole- sale and retail. The Livingston Seed Co. reports a heavy business for the holiday.

We user) it on a bench planted with Smilax to kill root lice or maggots, which ate the roots, and after two applications -our Smilax is taking on new life and has started off to grow." The Qardner Nursery Company, Osace, Iowa, writes: "We will use VERMINE on our out-of- •door fields of strawberry plants, if the inside test continues as satisfactory as it now seems." W. N. Crafi|L;Brookline, Mass., writes: "I have used VERMINE and found it effective against root maggots, cut worms, earth worms, ants and other ground i^ests."

"What size of boiler will be needed to heat these properly, in this Ohio climate? I expect to heat with hot water, as there will be an opportunity for a good return system, with the boiler in a basement on a hillside. I will also have another building, 12x60, in front of the greenhouses, and will use it as a workroom, store and experi- ment room. In this building there will be about 400 feet of glass, in the sides only. G. L. N. The inquiry is far from being clear enough to warrant a definite reply. The temperature which is desired is not stated, and the coistruction of the greenhouse walls and the amount of glass they contain are not given. If the walls of the greenhouses are well built and contain no glass, it should be pos- sible to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in them with 1,000 square feet of radiation. One can only give a guess at the amount of radiation required in the other building. If the walls are ceiled or plastered inside and 400 square feet of glass is the entire amount in the building, it should be found an easy matter to heat it to 60 defrees with 250 square feet of radiation, provided the walls are only eight or nine feet high and there is a ceiling at about that height. To furnish the radiation for both this building and the green- houses it would be advisable to have a hot water boiler rated at about 1,500 square feet of radiation. THE FUEL MABEET. The last few days have brought the first real winter weather of the season over a large part of the country — the part in which greenhouse fuel require- ments are heaviest. It has increased consumption while it has, in some sec- tions, more or less impeded the move- ment of cars by the railroads. The sit- uation at Chicago is much the same as elsewhere and the heavier buying at wholesale has, so far, done nothing more WHY TAKE A CHANCE? This extremely simple Standard ther- mostat is on tlie job night and day. You adjust the hands at whatever temperature you please and the thermostat WILL RING A BELL whenever the temperature rises or falls to the danger point. No more worry about a freeze-out.

GILEAD POTTERY CO., MT. GILEAD, OHIO BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. Trade for St. Valentine's day was good. The weather was cold, but clear and sunny, and this helped business a great deal. Plants sold as well as cut flowers. In fact, on account of the cold weather, plants were preferred to cor- sage bouquets. Fancy baskets of tulips, azaleas, lilacs and daffodils, decorated with hearts, arrows and cupids, sold well. Boxes of spring flowers with val- entine novelties were in demand. Tu- lips, daffodils, hyacinths and bleeding hearts found a place in the valentine list. Old-fashioned bouquets were not so much in demand this year. Sweet peas and valley were fine and the de- mand was brisk. Cyclamens and prim- roses were in splendid condition, but flower buyers were not so taken up with these plants at this particular time. Various Notes. S. A. Anderson did a big business last week. All kinds of valentine nov- elties sold well. A great drawing card was a large red heart, about ten feet in height, with a huge bunch of white lilacs fastened on top. The heart was fastened on the outside of the window and created quite a stir in the down- town district. The Wm. Scott Co. had a fine St. Val- entine's day trade. William Adams, William Palmer and W. F. Kasting visited the horticultural convention at Ithaca, N. Y. Mr. Kast- ing addressed the convention. Robert A. Scott is in a hospital, where he submitted to an operation on his feet. The operation proved successful and he is improving rapidly. The Buffalo florists gave a banquet for Wm. F. Kasting at the rooms of the Ellicott Club, February 10. The decorations were elaborate and drew considerable comment. Mr. Kasting expressed great appreciation of the dec- orations and said they were the hand- somest he had ever seen at a florists' function. William Palmer acted as loastm aster. The speakers were Wil- liam Legg, president of the Buffalo Florists' Club; David A. Seymour, su- perintendent of parks; S. A. Anderson, L. H. Neubeck, W. A. Adams and others. Joseph Streit is cutting some splen- did Formosa lilies. He nas a lot of Liliuni giganteum, which are coming along finely. Miss Mabel Hoke is at Anderson's Main street store for a few days.

The Market. The market conditions remain about the same as they have been for the last few weeks. Boses are still scarce, and the prospects for a good supply of this stock are still poor. Carnations are arriving in abundance and the trade has no trouble in getting all its needs supplied. Bulbous stock is also in good supply and the stock is fine. Violets, as usual, were in great de- mand for St. Valentine's day, and we are thankful to be able to say that the supply was suflScient to take care of all orders. The Wisconsin grown violets came in much more heavily than was expected and the stock was in fine con- dition. Everyone seems to be enjoying a good business for this time of year and the only fly in the ointment is that collections are slower than usual. Various Notes. Mrs. R. E.

Now's the time to gain on Spring If you wait for the weather to start your Spring plants, the market will be gone before you have an/thing to oflPer. An equipment of Sunliglit Double Glass Sasb should be ordered early. They provide growing conditions even in the worst weather. The "s-inch air space between the two layers of glass shuts out the cold and holds in the warmth, letting in the light and pro- tecting better than mats or boards. Ten^years use has proved their success. Made of the best cyoress; glazed or repaired in half the usual time: eliminating all need of mats or shutters; making plants early without undue forcing— they are simply indispensable to obtain the best results. A new double glass greenhouse The Sunlight idea has been carried into an inexpensive greenhouse, 11 xl2, 11x21, 11x36, or 11x48 feet in size. It is made of Sunlight Double Olass Sash, which are instantly removable when the greenhouse is idle for use on hot-beds or cold-frames. Thus they serve a double purpose. Sasb ordered now for Spring work may be used on a greenhouse frame ordered at your convenience for next Fall or Winter. , Write for these t-wo books today One Is a book by Prof. Maseey, an authority on bot-bed and cold-frame (jrarden- Ing. and the other Is our free catalogue.

St. Valentine's day brought an in- crease of business as compared with last year. Pot plants were in heavy de- mand and everything in bloom was sold. The buying public is becoming more educated in the art of basket work and just one plant in a basket, well ar- ranged, makes a profitable and quick sale; more so than the old way of using a pot cover. Roses have been short of the demand and red roses, at the close of the week, were not to be had at any price. Kill- arney and* White Killarney held up in price all week. Beauties are becoming more plentiful and a big improvement is seen in them as well as in the Killarneys. Carnations are coming in more plentifully and are of better quality. There is no oversupply as yet, but it is expected within two weeks. Bulbous stock is more plentiful, espe- cially daffodils and jonquils. The de- mand for violets and sweet peas in cor- sage bouquets was extra heavy for valentine parties. Various Notes. Arthur Newell reports that he had a good valentine business, but says it would have been better if it had not been so cold the few days before. Samuel Murray is showing a fine lot of lilac, grown at his greenhouses. St. Valentine's day business was up to his expectations. The George M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. has been busy with decora- tions. That business is increasing and stock is becoming more plentiful is the report at this place. R. S. Brown & Son are filling their houses with spring bedding stock. They have about 30,000 feet of glass devoted to nothing else in the spring. W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports an increase over last year on the St. Valentine's day business. Blooming plants in baskets were more in demand this year than ever and the call for corsage bouquets also was exceptionally heavy. The Peterson Floral Co. had a large decoration last week for the Western Fruit Growers' Association convention. Business across the state line was all that could be expected for St. Valen- tine's day. Corsage bouquets were in special demand and pot plants went well. W. J. B.

Knoble asks in return, "Did you ever know of a florist who started advertising, who stopped!" In answer to Mr. Knoble I will tell him of a man who came here from Minnesota and bought out a greenhouse business. He started out to show us old mossbacks how to run a florists ' business. He ran advertisements in the three daily papers, covering a 4-inch space; then he cut prices. In about two years he opened a store. He seemed to get business, but after a time he got into financial troubles, failed, tried working for other concerns and finally died in the insane hospital without pay- ing his printer's bill. Two florists entered the business and advertised in the three daily papers. They got a good trade without cutting prices, but could not keep going. Too much advertising did it. Again, an- other man started a store and ran ad- vertisements in all the papers. He is now in the Binghamton insane hospital, while the florists who never advertise run greenhouses and, in our case, have two stores and have no big advertising bills to pay. It looks to us as though the writers have an advertising scheme to sell. J. C. Bigelow & Son. There are several reasons for printing the foregoing communication. One is, to assure Bigelow & Son that neither Mr. Knoble nor Mr. Seligman has ad- vertising schemes to sell; The Review did not suppose it necessary to explain in the article, but Mr. Knoble is one of the most widely known retail florists in Cleveland, at present president of the Cleveland Florists' Club, and Mr. Se- ligman is a ribbon salesman, interested in the success of his customers, the re- tail florists. Each believes, with The Review, that the way to sell goods is to tell possible buyers what one has to sell. Bigelow & Son are well known and successful florists at Utiea, N. Y. Their standing entitles their views to respect- ful consideration, but the fact is they, and many others, base their opinion on wrong premises: Advertising is not wholly responsible for any man's suc- cess, nor wholly responsible for any man's failure. The same lack of judg- ment that would lead a man to over- advertise would lead him to other busi- ness extravagances, and the same dis- crimination that would enable a man to pick out the one or two best adver- Large Refrigerator Across Rear of the Store of the Rentschler Floral G).

Bigelow & Son say they have no big advertising bills to pay. But they have greenhouses on the edge of town and two stores in the business center. Why two stores? Why one store? Just to get before the public — to let people know what they have for sale. Just what advertising does! Perhaps Bigelow & Son are spending more than they think for advertising. CARBONE'S FLOWER STORE. The store of Philip L. Carbone, on Boylston street, Boston, is in many ways unique and original. The genial and cultured proprietor started in business in a small way nineteen years ago, with a flower stand at the Young Woman's Union, where he stayed about two years. He next opened a small basement store at 258 Boylston street, which he left after about four years to occupy the present beautiful and commodious store at 342 Boylston street. Mr. Carbone was ever on the lookout for new, rare and unique flowers or plants and in this way built a large trade among the wealthier class of buy- ers. For some years Mr. Carbone con- ducted a flower store at Harvard square, Cambridge, also, but this was discon- tinued ten years ago, as his Boston busi- ness developed. In addition to plants and cut flowers, Carbone 's store is noted for its choice collection of imported baskets, garden pottery, glass, china and stone ware, an immense yearly business being now done in this department, which was started in a modest way twelve years ago. A large wholesale warehouse at Milcher street, near the South Terminal station, is devoted to this end of the business. Five men are employed here, and two sr.lesmen are kept on the road all the time. A few weeks ago the store adjoining 342 Boylston street was taken over. This gives the store 150 feet in depth and forty-five feet in width, with four large show windows. A balcony is reached by a broad stairway, and half the depth on the second floor is used for show room purposes. There also are commodious basements, and plans are well matured for a model Italian gar- den in one of these, which will have mural paintings, concealed electric light, several fountains and pools, stat- uary, and all the features which go to make up an Italian garden. Competent artists will do the painting, and this will be retained as a permanent feature. Mr. Carbone spends several months abroad each year looking up novelties. Great Britain, France, Germany, Aus- tria, Italy, Sweden, Egypt and Japan all are drawn from. This store is quite un- like any others in Boston, and probably in America. There is never any over- crowding in windows or store. Each plant or bunch of flowers is displayed so as to show individuality, and the wonderful variety of stone, china and other ware is used to show them off to the best advantage. Miss Carbone, Mr. Carbone 's sister, has charge of the offices. Some mem- 1 era of the staff! have been here a long time. Seymour Grose has served six- teen years; B. F. Letson, fifteen years; S. Gerard Smith, eight years, and T. M. n. Spears, in charge of the wholesale house, ten years. Forty employees are constantly on the payroll. W. N. Craig. Woodbury, N. J. — J. Reeves Merritt, who has been out of the florists' busi- ness for a year and in the employ of the Adams Express Co., is looking for a greenhouse establishment that he can lease and get back into the trade. 12 The Florists' Review KKliJiCAHV '2G. 1014. ryiug orders to "yceery" from all parts of the world. Orchids, gardenias, lilac, violets aud roses arranged in the bottom of the window showed the kinds of floral valentines that could be sent to places far and near. WISCONSIN RETAILER'S STORE. Situated in a city that is both the capital of the state and the seat of the state university, the Eentsehler Floral Co., at Madison, Wis., has a double op- portunity for handling a high-class trade. To make the most of it, the company recently opened a new store tor Sc Ice Machine Co. This concern also installed a one and one-half-ton ice machine, which cools the present equip- ment and will take care of a large stor- age refrigerator in addition. TWO KINDS OF ADVERTISING. ^\'e have noticed for a long time that The Keview jjersistently advises florists to advertise in the newspai)ers, as, for instance, in the issue of February 12, ]iages 1.3 and 14, in the conversation between Messrs. Brown, Smith and Ktiohlc. Smith asks Knoble if news- paper advertising will reach the flower- Newly Fitted Store of the Rentschler Floral G}., at Madison, Wis. which in design and fittings is one of the handsomest and most up-to-date in the atate.

F. & F. Use a 4-inch potful of fine bone to each bushel of the chrvsanthemum com- post. As you probably used a good pro- portion of cow or horse manure in the compost, this bone should provide suffi- cient additional food. If the plants, a little later, do not appear to make as much growth as you could wish, give the pots a light top-dressing of fine bone mixed with finely sifted loam. C. W. GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. When must we cease pinching 21/4- inch, 314-inch and 4-inch geraniums in order to have blooms for Memorial day? How many weeks are required for buds to show after pinching? Then, how much time is required for the buds to be in full bloom? H. & C. Stop pinching the geraniums by March 1. It will take six to eight weeks for the buds to show after pinching, as a rule, but a good deal depends on the soil your plants are growing in. If the soil contains much animal manure, the buds will be slower in showing than where a small quantity only has been used and more bone has been added. The ranker the plant growth, the slower will be the production of buds. From the time the buds show to the time they are in bloom, you should allow a month, as we have many vagaries of weather even in May. A temperature of 45 to 50 degrees at night is sufficient. Do not exceed the latter figure if stocky plants are wanted. Air freely, give all possi- ble sunlight and keep the atmosphere (Irv rather than moist at all times. C. W. FEBRUAnY 26, 1914. The Florists' Review n COVERED WITH BED SPIDEB. Enclosed you will find two rose plants that have some kind of root disease. I shall be thankful if you can tell me what is wrong with them and what I can do to remedy the trouble. I have handled roses for several years, but have never seen the roots act in this way before. The soil that I used was new soil, with a little rotted cow ma- nure in it. The plants are in a good house, with a temperature of 60 degrees. C. K. The two plants received were care- fully examined and, as far as I could see, there was absolutely nothing the matter with the roots; they were as healthy as they could be for plants of that size, from 2-inch pots. One of the stems had been bruised when the cut- ting was made and the surface had turned black, but this would not affect the growth. The other plant was green to the roots and the roots were perfect. There was one serious defect in the condition of the plants and this, no doubt, was the cause of the whole trouble; the plants were completely cov- ered with red spider. They were so badly injured by this pest that even the youngest leaf had started to turn gray. It will take a continuous appli- cation of water under high pressure, for some time, to get the plants clean again, but if this is done I can see no reason why the plants should not make a good, healthy growth. As long as the spider sucks the sap out of the plants, how- ever, they cannot make much growth. W. J. K. EXPEBIMENTAIi ROSE GARDENS. The American Eose Society, through its committee in conjunction with a committee appointed by the Society of American Florists, now feels ready to launch the establishment of two experi- mental rose gardens, one in connec- tion with the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington, D. C, and one at the College of Agriculture, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., and in this connection they ask the cooperation of rose growers throughout America. Appended to this invitation will be found statements from both these in- stitutions, indicating their readiness to proceed with this proposition. It is proposed that credit shall be given in each garden to all firms con- tributing to its success, but it is not proposed to make public any statement showing which varieties were contrib- uted by any firm. In this way it is hoped that all rose growers in America may be placed on the same footing, without favoritism being shown to any- one or any group of growers. Rose growers everywhere will be quick to see the advantages likely to spring from these experimental gar- dens. We are fortunate to have one in a district representative of the colder sections, while results in the other may be taken as a criterion for the warmer sections of our country. We are fortunate in each case to have the backing of institutional care that shall be impartial in its cooperation and insure the continuity of effort so essential to an enterprise in which real success can be measured only after a term of years. Furthermore, both in- stitutions are in position to issue bul- letins, and, for the benefit of all con- cerned, spread dependable information regarding roses. Therefore, the American Rose Soci- ety and the Society of American Flo- rists, through their committees, hereby appeal to the rose growers of America for (Contributions of all such varieties as they are willing to present for these two gardens. The committee asks that each firm furnish a list of such varie- ties as can be supplied this spring, such list to be in the hands of Alex. Gum- ming, Jr., chairman of the Eose So- ciety's committee, not later than March 15. The committee requires good, strong dormant stock where available, other- wise stock well established in not less than 4-irch pots. Dormant stock must be in Washington not later than April 1, and at Ithaca April 15; roses from pots, not later than May 1 at Wash- ington, May 15 at Cornell. There will be required eighteen (18) each of the bedding types of roses, including the HjpP. 's, P. 's, H. T. 's, bourbons, Chinas, polyanthas, etc., and of the rugosas, sweet briars, or any of the climbing types, five (5) each. Delivery instructions will be issued later. It is the earnest desire of the committee, if possible, to have every firm of rose growers in America repre- sented by plants in these gardens. Send your list to Alex. Cumming, Jr., care of A. N.

Gude, under date of August 16, 1913, the ground proposed to be devoted to a rose garden at Arlington Farm In conjunction with your societies is now available for that purpose and the Bureau of Plant Industry stands ready to push the work of planting as soon as the stock arrives and the weather Is suitable. The objects to be gained from the Department's standpoint are the possibility of researches in the heredity of cultivated roses, and also the adapt- ability of roses to climatic conditions similar to those of Washington. (Signed) L. C. Corbett, Assistant Chief of Bureau. FROM NEW YORK COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. Department of Floriculture. Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 19, 1914. The rose garden area on the grounds of the department of floriculture at Cornell is in excel- lent condition to receive the plants this spring. The department has the facilities to properly care for the stock immediately upon arrival ' and to plant as soon as weather conditions permit. The undersigned will give bis personal attention to the details of the rose trials. An investigation of the botany, evolution, breeding, etc., of the hybrid, Wlchuraiana and rambler roses is already in progress. It is proposed to make similar studies as to the adaptability of all classes of roses suitable to the climate of central New York. Particular attention will be given hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas, polyanthas, rugosas and the hardy climbing types. (Signed) A. C. Real, Professor in charge of Floricultural Investiga- tions. MUMS TO FOLLOW TOMATOES. Will you kindly inform me what are the best chrysanthemums for late flow- ering and by what date they ought to be put in the greenhouse beds or benches? We wish to use our beds for a second crop of tomatoes and then to follow these with mums for the first winter crop, so that early mums would probably be out of the question. I am located in southern Ontario. R. N. W. Late mums can be planted on the benches as late as August 1, if one can prQpagate nice, soft young plants so late in the season. The middle of July would possibly be better. By this time the spring crop of tomatoes should be out of the way, or the price, owing to the outside plants coming into crop, would be cut down below a lucrative figure. I know florists who are making good use of their houses by running a spring crop of tomatoes, getting them out of the way by July and then plant- ing with mums to follow. It is not necessarily implied that R. N. W. has to plant the latest varieties for this pur- pose, as the plants can be carried along to 4-inch pots and planted from these, or could even be planted outdoors, lifted carefully and transplanted into the house. There are many ways of economizing on greenhouse space when one has to do it. A good list of late varieties is as fol- lows: White — Thanksgiving Queen, Timothy Eaton, White Chadwick and Jeanne Nonin. Yellow — Nagoya, Yel- low Chadwick and Bonnaffon. Pink — Chadwick Supreme, Maud Dean and W. R. Brock. These varieties will give flowers until Thanksgiving and some of them, like Brock, till Christmas. The 18 The Florists^ Review FKBBUABr 26, 1914. last mentioned variety may appeal to R. N.

Much has been said about practically every part of the greenhouse, what to buy, how to buy, and where to buy, all for the education of the grower. Little has been told him, however, about the erection of the house after the materials have been secured, and, after everything else is considered, the best greenhouse materials improperly erected could not make a good green- house. One of the common errors of those inexperienced in building greenhouses is the extravagant use of the carpen- ters' level. Generally speaking, all greenhouses should be built with a slight pitch in the length to allow for water drainage and assist in drying the gutter bottom. Not long ago, my attention was called to a greenhouse, the erection of which had caused the owner considerable trouble and ex- pense. The carpenter, in setting the gutter posts, had allowed correctly for a pitch in the gutters to drain the water. After setting up the forms for the concrete wall, building the wall and removing the forms, he discovered that he had built the walls level in- stead of allowing the same pitch as he had for the gutters. The material in the side wall between the concrete wall and the gutters of course did not fit. In another case a man ordered iron gut- ters five feet six and three-quarters inches in length and, without waiting for their arrival, set up all the posts for the walls. As the gutter hubs on the cast-iron gutters are not evenly spaced, he was compelled to reset near- ly all his posts to conform to the posi- tion of the post hubs on the gutters. Too Much Carpenters' Level. Many cases of the too frequent use of the level and plumb-bob occur in setting up the roof sashbars. The sash- bars should be set on the square with the gutters, but not infrequently a car- penter will build the sashbars plumb and, after everything is nailed tight, discover that the glass does not fit, but rests on two corners instead of flat. It is often the case that a man, if he is careful and uses good judg- ment, gets his house up in good shape, but, by the time it is up, he has become so obsessed with the idea of avoiding the use of the level that he builds the benches with the same pitch as the greenhouse. As benches should be buUt level, it may cost the owner a considerable sum to correct the error, especially if the heating pipes were in- stalled before the discovery of the error. Most manufacturers send full instruc- tions for setting up boilers, but to one not familiar with them, they are not easy to understand completely. A boiler not properly bricked up and ce- mented, or improperly connected, how- ever, usually is the cause of an unjust tirade against the boiler manufactur- ers, or if nothing worse, in the abnor- mal consumption of fuel. Installing Heating Pipes. After the boiler is set up, the heat- ing pipe is installed, a work which pre- sents a hundred and one difficulties. In connecting the pipe, several things must be borne in mind. The pipe should be laid straight, not wavy; all pipe ends should be reamed; all pipe joints should be red-leaded before be- ing connected; as few turns and angles as possible should be made in the lay- out of the heating system. All pipe should have a uniform pitch; it should never be set level. The judicious plac- ing of the air vents and valves some- times determines the efficiency of a heating system. Many times, in a de- fective heating system, the substitu- tion of one fitting for another will cause the system to work properly. A twin ell instead of a tee fitting has at times, been the sole remedy necessary for a system wiiich has generated sufii- cient heat in some coils and little or none in others. Occasionally some one who is installing a mercury generator for a hot water heating system for the first time revolves the generator around the pipe, and the consequent loss of mercury makes the generator worthless. Construction Details. Often when the manufacturers of greenhouse supplies and boilers are blamed for the grower 's trouble, it is really due to faulty construction. There are many things to be considered, so many that those who put up glass for the first time have more than their hands full. The size and number of nails should be figured out carefully; lumber that is split by too large nails will not make a strong, decay-resisting greenhouse, but it is almost as bad to use nails that are too small. Glazing points must actually hold the glass, not be just stuck in. It is best, both for appearance and economy, to scrape away all surplus putty. All material should be evenly painted, especially the roof sashbars, so that the condensation on the bar will flow properly. It pays to see that the concrete for post and purlin support footings is mixed prop- erly. All joints and splices ought to be thickly white-leaded. The closer the plans are followed the better. It is the business of a good builder to check every article carefully before starting erection and to notify the manufacturers at once of any error, so that it can be rectified without delay to the work. It this is neglected, as it often is, the error will not be discov- ered until the article is needed. The result is much inconvenience and delay. Out of curiosity I have several times asked growers who had erected their own houses, what were their expenses. I found that in every case the amount was more than the cost of securing a first-class builder. Generally speaking, the grower will find it quite difficult to apportion the work to inexperienced help so as to gain the full benefit of their time, and he will find it as cheap or cheaper in the end to secure the serv- ices of experienced builders, at least on his first greenhouse. George Willens. STABTINa TUBEBOUS BEGONIAS. Can tuberous begonias be started in a hotbed? F. H, Tuberous begonias can be started to good advantage in a hotbed. Water sparingly at first, or there is danger of the tubers decaying. C. W. STATE FLOBISTS' ASSOCIATION, While the florists of Danville have been busy with plans for the enter- tainment of those who are to be their guests March 10 and 11 and with the arrangements for the decoration of the Armory hall for the exhibition, the officers of the Illinois State Florists' Association have been busy preparing the program of the meeting and send- ing letters to the florists of the state to urge their strong participation in this banner meeting of the organiza- tion. The Indiana florists are showing their appreciation of the event and will be present in large numbers. The ex- hibits are expected to be of better than usual quality. Exhibitors may either bring their displays or ship them to W. J. Anker, at Danville, who will take care of their staging. The life member- ship buttons are ready and Secretary Ammann is expecting and hoping for a run on them at the meeting. The opening session will begin at 2 p. m. Tuesday, March 10, and the busi- ness will be concluded at that meeting. At 8 p. m. Tuesday will be the annual banquet, at the Plaza hotel; tickets for this should be secured at the secretary 's desk upon arrival. Wednesday at 10 a. m. the visitors will board special cars for the experimental station at Urbana, and an enjoyable trip is assured as a result of the efforts of the Danville Flo- rists' Club. The official badge of the meeting is the Beacon carnation. The Armory hall containing the exhibition of cut flowers and plants will be thrown open to the public Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon and evening. Th6 program for the opening session of the convention is as follows: Introductory remarks, by H. E. Smith, president Danville Florists' Club. Address of welcome, by Mayor Lewman. Response and welcome to the Indiana State Florists' Association, by A. C. Koblbrand, Chl- canto. Response by W. W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind. President's address, by Charles Loverldge, Peoria, lU.

Remarks by visiting Indiana florists. General discussion. Nomination and election of officers. .Vdjournment. COOPERATIVE MEETING. At last our hopes are being realized. We have read and talked a great deal about cooperation and fellowship in flo- riculture. Is it possible? Yes! Also, it will be proved in the near future. March 10 and 11 the state associations of Indiana and Illinois will hold a joint meeting at Danville. After many years of insistence and persistence the goal of cooperation is in sight. You say we have had cooperation through our national body for many years. That is true, but it does not come close enough to us. We could not get along without the cooperative help we derive through the national society, but at the same time it does not touch us vitaUy, because this body's actions are nation-wide, and for its usefulness cannot be otherwise. Our hopes for the future must de- pend, if I may use my own phrase, on localized cooperation. The man or men in your locality are the ones with whom you want a complete understanding. The man a thousand miles away may be working in cooperation with you, but FsBRDAsy 26, 1914. The Florists' Review 19 at the same time you will derive no ap- preciable benefit. It is the man with whom you have dealings, whose busi- ness you come in contact with, or who may have no dealings with you, but at the same time has an influence on the trade in your locality, with whom you want to cooperate, to have a helpful understanding. The florists of the two states will gather at Danville with the firm inten- tion to help each other. Is this not what we have been striving for these last few years? Who can say what bene- fits will be derived from this important meeting? I know of no other occasion on which two states have held a joint meeting for the simple and vital reason of advancement. I want to urge in closing that every florist in the two states make a special effort to attend this cooperative meeting. Only good can come from such a meeting, and every florist should make it his duty to be there, if only for one day. W. J. Vesey, Jr. NEW YORK. The Market. Premonitory symptoms of the ap- proach of Lent were evident during the last week; the tendency of prices for the whole market was downward. The snowdrifts and uncertain weather in- terfered with business in every line and the florists' trade seemed to suffer most of all. The week closed with rising temperature and prospects of clean streets and normal conditions. The Saturday trade was more encour- aging, and there v/as a fairly good clean-up at steadier prices except in bulbous stock. From this date shipments of roses and carnations will undoubtedly in- crease. American Beauties have held their high range of prices wonderfully well this season, but they have now sounded the retreat. Naturally, all other varieties are joining the procession, even the novelties of the year partici- pating in the retrogression. A cut of twenty-five per cent from last week's best rates is a fair indication of pres- ent prices. The carnation shipments are increasing. Most of the stock is su- perb this -year, but prices are low enough to warrant no faultfinding by the buyer. The cream of the novelties maintain the regular higher range and prices for these depend upon the supply. Lilies are not overabundant and the rates of the last month are sustained. Valley is in oversupply and prices are the lowest of the year. Gardenias maintain their average, the best of them seldom selling above $3 per dozen. Orchids are handled by all the leading wholesalers and all seem to have enough of them to offer. In only the best and largest selected flowers is there any competition. Violets do not seem to make any advance in popular- ity and prices are at the low range that has prevailed since the holidays. Of bulbous stock there is evidently no end. Prices for daffodils, tulips and narcissi are down to half the standard of for- mer years. Only the selects of the tulips meet :vith any appreciation. Some of the sweet pea stock now arriving is above the average in quality, espe- cially the winter-flowering Spencers. Pansies are here, another harbinger of spring. Daisies, mignonette and forget- me-nots are arriving daily in sufficient volume to cover all possible demand. Various Notes. March 9 the final meeting of the New York Florists' Club before the spring flower show will be held in the Grand Opera House club parlors, at Eighth avenue and Twenty-third street. Because of the exhibition March 21 to 28 in the Grand Central Palace, this meeting will be of especial interest and a large attendance is requested. The essay committee will do its share to make the evening entertaining. There will be exhibits, luncheon and final in- structions in regard to the show. Chair- man Nugent, Gi the annual dinner com- mittee, announces the date for the banquet to be March 26, and the place the same as last year, the Hotel Astor. Tickets are $5 each. Saturday, February 28, Charles Mil- lang's annual beefsteak dinner will be held at Bayside. Every lady present will be presented with an armful of Killarney roses. Dancing will follow the banquet. Moore, Hentz & Nash were exhibiting last week some Hadley roses in perfect condition ten days from cutting. The new offices of Roman J. Irwin in the Masonic building, on West Twenty-third street, are now decorated with trophies of his hunting, the most striking of which is the head and ant- lers of a huge elk, which he shot in Maine last fail when he and Wallace Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., roamed the forests of the northland. L. J. Kervan is sending his friends seductive greetings from Jacksonville, Fla., where he will enjoy life until spring. George Maunz, representing Reed & Keller, has left the city on his annual western trip. The annual dinner of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held at Glen Cove, L. I., Thursday, February 19, and in attendance and enthusiasm led all its predecessors. The dinner was excellent. The society was never in so flourishing a condition. M. C. Ebel, secretary of the National Association of Gardeners, met with a painful accident last week, putting his knee out of commission. Because of this he was unable to attend the Glen Cove banquet. The Monroe County Horticultural So- ciety held its annual dinner at the Globe hotel. Red Bank, N. J., February 18, only members of the society re- ceiving invitations. Ladies were wel- comed this year and the affair was much to the credit of the organization. John A. Kennedy was chairman of the dinner committee, and Chas. E. Hen- derson, Jr., toastmaster. Walter Mott, of Newburgh, was a visitor at Red Bank on his way to southern patrons. E. S. Miller, of Wading River, L. I., was in the city February 21, having just returned from a three months' trip to Tacoma and other coast cities. Wm. M. Hunt, of A. T. Bodding- ton's force, represented the house at the Oyster Bay banquet. Adam Miiller, formerly manager of the flower department of the Hotel As- tor, is now acting in a similar capacity at the new Hotel McAlpin. Benjamin A. Ramaker, of Rochester, and wife were at the Hotel McAlpin last week on their wedding trip. Mrs. Ramaker is a daughter of John Camp- bell Shaw, the nurseryman, of the Flower Ci-ty. John J. Gunther, of Gunther Bros., is one of the committee appointed to welcome the Giants back from their world tour March 7. T. B. Collie represented Burnett Bros, at the Glen Cove banquet. Maurice Fuld, of the Knight & Struck Co., is on a lecture tour in the west, including in his itinerary the cities of Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids and Ann Ar- bor. His subject is ' * The Right Way of Gardening." Fred Smythe is in Europe, combin- ing business and pleasure. Fred Gar- diner, of his office force, is enjoying his annual vacation in Bermuda. H. E. Froment will continue to make 57 West Twenty-eighth street his whole- sale headquarters. Robert Berry, of Chatham, N. J., has been appointed manager of the Shrews-* bury Nurseries, at Eatontown, N. J. All the retail flower shops of any ac- count featured St. Valentine 's day with appropriate window decorations and most of them report an excellent in- crease in volume of business for the day. Some interesting windows were prepared in commemoration of Wash- ington's birthday. J. Austin Shaw. Myer Heller, of the South Park Flo- ral Co., New Castle, Ind., was one of last week's visitors. Mr. Heller is at the head of a big department store, as well as the greenhouses, and when he comes to New York is on the go from early until late. SWEET WILLIAMS IN POTS. Do sweet williams do well in pots, and how should they be handled? F. H. Sweet Williams can be successfully grown in pots. They can be potted late in the fall or in the spring, and suc- ceed particularly well if left plunged to the brim in a coldframe, with the sashes removed entirely. As the flow- ers expand, a light shade of cheese- cloth during the daytime will keep tho flowers fresher and prolong their beau- ty. Move them into a cool, shady and well ventilated greenhouse, in order to keep them in good condition as long as possible. They need an abundant water supply. C. W. HABDY PHLOXES IN POTS. Are hardy phloxes successfully grown in pots, and what size of pots should be used? F. H. Phlox clumps can be potted in fall or spring. They should be plunged out- doors and freely watered. A good way to get nice, single-trussed plants is to put in a batch of cuttings as early in spring as possible. Put them in 3-inch pots when well rooted; later shift into 5-inch pots. Keep them plunged out- doors where they can root into some good compost. Such plants will carry splendid trusses the following summer, and many people would be glad to buy them to plant out. C. W. PLANTma GLADIOLUS BULBLETS. Should gladiolus bulblets have the shell removed before planting? F. H. There is no need to remove the shell covering from the bulblets before plant- ing. Too much peeling is done with gladioli. C. W. 20 The Florists' Review Kebruahv 20, 1914. LANCASTER, PA. Club Meeting. About fifty florists attended the monthly meeting of the Lancaster County Florists' Club, Thursday even- ing, February 19. Albert M. Herr gave us his impressions of the Cleveland carnation show, which arc given briefly Jn another column, and urged the mem- bers of the club to become active sup- porters of the society that is doing so much for the carnation. S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia, also talked about the show, speaking particularly of the in- terest taken by the Cleveland retailers and their showing of fine table decora- tions with carnations. The vase that probably attracted most attention on our exhibition table was that of Mrs. C. E. Akehurst, shown by Pennock-Meehan Co. It is a pleasing shade of pink, similar to Mrs. C. W. Ward. Its keeping qualities are excel- lent, and, with its record of twenty- eight blooms per plant last season, it promises to become a winner commer- cially. H. D. Eohrer showed a vase of his fragrant, non-bursting, brilliant scarlet, Scarlet Wonder. W. B. Girvin, of Leola, showed vases of some of the standard varieties, which showed excel- lent culture. Charles B. Herr showed a large vase of Beacon, which he grows with much success. B. F. Barr & Co. had an exceptional showing of Alma Ward. Rudolph Nagel's vase of Silver Pink snapdragon was fine. Cooperative buying was taken up at the meeting and a discussion of the quality of goods sent into this section ensued. The committee at length rec- ommended that the members give their trade so far as possible to the concerns that offer inducements for it; that they attach th»:'ir membership stickers to all orders, and that they use the member- ship cards in dealing with local dealers who have offered discounts to members on certain lines. The committee which is trying to arrange with the local trac- tion company for the passenger cars to carry flowers, so that they will not have to wait for express cars, reported progress, and anticipated success in the movement. A question box was insti- tuted toward the close of the evening, and as the result of a discussion thus brought forward, A. M. Herr, Charles F. Edgar, Rudolph Nagel and II. K. Rohrer were appointed a committee to consider the advisability of holding a flower show next fall. At our club's re- quest, our coneressman, W. W. Greist, will support the bill before congress appropriating .*50,000 for erecting a memorial to W. R. Smith. Before the meeting members of the club visited W. B. Girvin 's green- houses at Leola, Pa., where he has a number of large, modern houses filled with carnations. His principal varieties are Pink Delight, Gloriosa, Beacon and Mrs. Ward. His benches of Beacon showed evidence of an extra lieavy cut over the holidays, and will be thrown out shortly and the space ))lanted to Silver Pink snapdragon for spring crop. About 2,500 Matchless will be grown here next season. John H. Schoen- berger is the efficient foreman at this place. Our next meeting will be held March 19, when a series of lantern slides from .T. Horace McFarland Co., Harrisburg, Pa., will be shown. The ladies are invited. On the same date, at 2:30 p. m., the club will leave Lan- caster to visit the Hostetter establish- ments at Manheim, Pa. Visitors at the meeting included Jas. Brown, Jr., of Coatesville; Mr. Nolan, of the King Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., and S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia,. Various Notes. At the store of B. F. Barr & Co. was noticed a number of floral arrange- ments especially made up for Washing- ton's birthday. Baskets of plants, as well as cut flowers in red, white and blue, sold well. Cherry trees in bloom and aucubas loaded with fruit went at good prices. H. K. R. BALTIMORE, MD. The Market. Baltimore has at last got some win- ter weather. The first snow of the sea- son fell February 13 and continued for two days, while the temperature fell to zero, necessitating constant watch- ing on the firing line, with a constant shrinkage of the coal pile. Stock of all kinds is to be had in quantity, with business fair but not up to expecta- tions. There was a brisk demand for the smaller type of cut flowers for St. Valentine's day, such as violets, sweet peas and valley. Myosotis was to be had in limited quantity, with buyers for all in sight. Roses and carnations are becoming more plentiful, with a corresponding drop in the prices which have prevailed since the first part of .Tanuary. Bulbous stock is plentiful. Good jonquils are offered at one of the local wholesale houses for $2 per hun- dred and tulips as low as $1.75 per hundred. Hyacinths and Paper Whites can be had in any quantity at a low ligure. The cloudy weather of the last week had its effect on roses and car- nations, but in spite of this they were plentiful and met with a good demand. Club Meeting. Owing to th*) snow storm which was raging robruary 23, there was a com- jiaratively small attendance at the meeting of the Gardeners.' and Flo- rists' Club. President Johnston quick- ly disposed of the routine business, which was followed by an interesting talk by Adolph Farenwald, of Roslyn, Pa., on the affiliation of local clubs with the S. A. F. Mr. Farenwald pre- sented some good reasons for affiliation. The matter was discussed, but, owing to the small attendance, it was decided to make this the subject for the first meeting in April, when a larger at- tendance is hoped for and the matter will be entirely gone over and threshed out. A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., sent twelve blooms of the new crimson rose, Iladley, which this firm is distributing to the trade. R. T. Beers, the Pierson representative, was present and described the habit and gave directions for growing the vari- ety. The blooms shown were fine, both in color and stem. The foliage was large and of a fine color, with no trace of mildew. John Severin was elected a member of the club. The banquet committee reported that the affair to be held at the Hotel Emerson, March 9, promises to be the best banquet the club has ever had. Some of the most promi- nent florists of the eastern section of the country have beeu invited and have signified their intention of attending; among others Wm. F. Gude, of Wash- ington, will be present and address the members on the subject of a memorial to the late Wm. R. Smith, Owing to the large amount of busi- ness and the annual election of officers to be held on this night, it was de- cided to call the club to order at 7 p. m. sharp, instead of 8 p. m., the usual hour. It is of the utmost im- portance that all members attend this meeting, as an unusual interest is being shown in the election. Various Notes. Chas. M. Wagner, manager for Jas. Hamilton, of Mount Washington, re- ports that roses and carnations are blooming well, wath a good demand and fair prices. Chas. Siegwart, whose greenhouses are located on the Old Frederick road, lost a lot of glass by sliding ice, Feb- ruary 14. It seems that the ice formed on the edge of the ventilators, and when these were raised the ice was broken loose, sliding down the bars and crashing into the adjoining house. The damage was repaired in time to keep frost out; hence, aside from the glass, the loss was slight. Halliday Bros, had an especially ar- tistic window decoration last week. This firm has ample space for display pur- poses and it is used to the best ad- vantage to show a first-class line of seasonable stock. On St. Valentine's day, with the thermometers registering 10 degrees, the street venders were seen on Lexington street with glass cases which sheltered a good line of cut flowers, which were being offered at a low figure, with few buyers. Harry Ekas, on Frederick road, has some excellent Primula obconica. He also has a fine lot of seedlings from Lilium Harrisii, which look promising and are said to be a decided improve- ment on the parent. J. A. Harmon, formerly gardener at Mount De Sales Academy, expects to erect two houses this spring at his place near Catonsville and will engage in the florists' business, growing a gen- eral line of cut flowers. The recent cold spell made safe de- livery of flowers a perplexing problem and many of the stores suffered losses from frost, both on incoming and out- going delivery. Black Bros, had the decorations for the recent ball given by Francis B. Cochrane at the Belvedere hotel. In these decorations, which were exten- sive, the new carnation, Mrs. C. E. Akehurst, was used for the first time at any public function in this city. Samuel Feast & Sons are receiving some fine orchid-flowering sweet peas from a local grower. The stems aver- age twelve inches in length, with from four to six flowers on a stem. W. F. E. Saginaw, Mich. — Grohman, the florist, is enjoying a good run of business at present. E. A. Grohman, head of the firm, has completed a quarter-century in his retail store business here. He occupied a store on Fitzhugh street for twenty years before he moved to the present location on South Jefferson avenue. Stock is in good shape at the greenhouses on South Washington ave- nue, opposite Forest Lawn cemetery. February 26, 1914. The Florists' Review 21 OBITUARY. John M. Foss. John M. Foss, aged 49 years, died at his home, 902 Main street, Sharpsburg, Pa., after a lingering illness. Mr. Foss came to this country in 1887. In 1891 Mr. Foss embarked in the florists' busi- ness, which he continued until his death. In September, 1892, Mr, Foss married Miss Bertha Cook, who, with three children, survives. He was a mem- ber of the German Evangelical church, Etna Lodge of Elks, Sharpsburg Aerie of Eagles, and Banner Circle P. H. C, The funeral took place February 18 in the German Evangelical church. Mr. Foss was well known to the trade in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, where his plants have been sold for many years. He had a stand in the Pittsburgh mar- ,ket and a store in Sharpsburg. He was a genial gentleman of wide personal popularity. James P, Copelaud. In the death of James P. Copeland, February 19, the city of Marion, 111., lost its best known and best beloved citizen, as was attested by the attend- ance and the number of floral remem- brances at the funeral February 21, which exceeded anything ever before seen in Marion. Mr. Copeland was 68 years of age. He was a pioneer newspaper man, hav- ing begun work in that field at Vienna, 111., in 1857. He served the Union through the Civil war and on his re- turn founded the Marion Leader, which he published until 1901. Selling out his newspaper interests in that year, he established the Marion Greenhouses, in partnership with his wife, Minnie Lilley Copeland, who will continue the business. Mr. Copeland contracted a severe cold while working in the green- houses early in February, which de- veloped into pneumonia. He leaves, besides his widow, two sons ana a daughter. THE MASS OF EVIDENCE, The favorable opinion of one person may or may not carry weight with it; if the person is unknown it probably more often does not. But when a simi- lar opinion is voiced by a large number of persons, known or unknown, there accumulates a "mass of evidence," as the lawyers say, which is too weighty to be brushed lightly aside. You have read many such before, but the follow- ing is one more contribution to the already large "mass of evidence" on behalf of the use of The Review's Clas- sified Ads: Please cancel my atl for cinerarias in your pa- per, as I am all sold out. It certainly does the work. — Emil Metzmaier, Columbus, O., February 10, 1914. CRUDE OIL IN SOIL. A few days ago a pipe, carrying crude oil for the Standard Oil Co., burst and the oil ran into a creek which flooded the meadow from which I take the soil for my greenhouses. After the water settled, it left the oil on my land. Would you advise me to use that soil for my compost? J. W. If you can get compost elsewhere for one season I would advise you to do so. By that time any liability of damage from the crude oil will have passed, I would not advise using it now. C. W. Morrison, HI. — John H, Dykema, who has been employed by the E. R. Davis Co. for the last eleven years, is plan- ning to erect a $10,000 plant of his own at Fulton. Syracuse, N. Y, — Wallace R. Pierson was the principal speaker at the an- nual meeting of the Syracuse Rose So- ciety. His subject was "What Ameri- cans Have Done to Develop the Rose." Great Falls, Mont. — St. Valentine's day shows great prospects of being a good flower day. The Electric City Conservatory advertised the use of vio- lets for valentines and as a result many violets Tvere sold. Dayton, 0. — As a result of the small amount of sunshine, the rose supply is almost too short to meet the demand, says Horace Frank, of the Heiss Co. Carnations are in heavy demand and the supply is large. Princeton, lU, — To provide an ice supply for the greenhouse refrigerators and for shipping cut flowers, the W. E. Trimble Greenhouse Co. has just com- pleted an ice house of 100 tons capacity. It is being filled this week. New Haven, Conn. — John H. Slo- combe's exhibit of sweet peas, of a va- riety recently introduced by A. C. Zvolanek, at the last meeting of the New Haven Horticultural Society drew much favorable comment. Galva, lU, — G. F. Pearce has pur- chased the greenhouses of A. G. Larson, at 704 West Division street, and finds business excellent this season. Mr. Larson has bought a farm about sixty miles from Minneapolis, Minn., and will try his hand at farming. Omaha, Neb. — The Morgan-Shawler Co., 1903 Farnam street, has opened one of the most thoroughly up-to-date stores west of the Mississippi, Both H. R. Morgan, president, and J. W. Shaw- ler, secretary, are former employees of J. F. Wilcox & Sons, at Council Bluffs, although Mr. Shawler has for some time been engaged in another line of busi- ness. Rochester, Minn. — Ross Bragg, who not long ago purchased the store in the Zumbro hotel from John Fuhl- bruegge and later the Peterson green- houses, is planning to make a number of improvements in both pieces of property. The store will be enlarged and refitted to handle a larger trade, and the greenhouses will be remodeled so as to increase the production of the plant. Albany, N. Y. — At the request of Buf- falo florists, Assemblyman Horton, of Erie, has introduced a bill in the state legislature amending the law prohibit- ing the employment of women and chil- dren for more than fifty-four hours a week. There are exceptions now for the week before Christmas covering de- partment and other stores, and the amendment introduced makes an ex- ception of the week before Easter for florists' stores. Rutland, Vt. — Sidney A. Baker, pro- prietor of Baker's Seed House, 117 Park street, will add a greenhouse, 45x110 feet, to his plant next April, increasing his glass area to over 15,000 square feet. St. Paul, Minn. — John D. Ramaley, proprietor of the Ramaley Floral Ex- change, celebrated his eightieth birth- day St. Valentine's day and gave flow- ers to his friends and customers in honor of the occasion. Utica, N. Y.— C. Brown & Sons, for some years in business at Rochester, N.

Warren, Pa. — Lester Graham is en- gaged with plans for enlarging his greenhouse plant just outside of town, on Conewango avenue. Additional houses as well as improvements to the present range are contemplated. The \vork will probably be started this com- ing spring. Tampa, Fla.— For Gasparilla week, and especially for the Bachelors' ball, King's reception and Coronation ball, which occurred February 18 to 24, the Knull Floral Co. reports excellent busi- ness. A unique piratical mailing card was sent to customers and is thought to have brought good results. Rock Island, 111. — On his way home from a meeting of the Tri-City Flo- rists' Association on the night of Feb- ruary 13, Henry Gaethje was attacked and beaten by two men, who took his hat, overcoat and the small amount of change he carried. The attack was made just outside his boiler room and his son-in-law, Axel Hokinson, found him when he came out after hearing his groans. Although the condition of Mr. Gaethje was serious for a time, he will recover. Charlotte, N. C. — A certificate of in- corporation has been granted to Scholtz the Florist. The capitalization is $50,- 000 and the incorporators are E, P. Scholtz, Mrs. Nellie Scholtz, W. W. Scholtz and .T. I. McCallum. The in- corporators are authorized to do a gen- eral horticultural business, to deal in real estate and to engage in any line of business enterprise needful to the prose- cution of the main business of hor- ticulture. Sheridan, Wyo. — The greenhouses on North Badger street, which were built three years ago by the Sheridan Green- house Co. and are now the property of the L. M. Best Floral Co., have been leased to M. E. Leland, of McCook, Neb., with an option to purchase. The Best Floral Co. will confine itself to grow- ing vegetables, and Mr. Leland will grow a general line of flowers and plants, conducting the business under the name of the Glendale Floral Co. He may open a branch store at Billings, Mont., to be supplied with stock from the greenhouses here. 22 The Florists' Review Febeuaby 26, 1914, Mci to AdYcrtisers, Pift 110.

Officers for 1914: President, Theodore Wlrth, Minneapolis; vice-president, Patrick Welch, Bos- ton; secretary, John Young, 64 W. 28th St., New York City; treasurer, W. P. Kastlng, BuCTalo. Thirtieth annual convention, Boston, Mass., August 18 to 21, 1914. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. From all appearances the florists' busi- ness is at least as good as trade in any other line. About the most difficult thing the average florist is called on to do is to refuse to sell to the big buyer who is slow pay. "All other things being equal," as the saying goes, reciprocity is a fine platform. But how often are other things equal! 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. Those who complain that selling ex- penses constantly increase may as well become reconciled to the fact. Costs are increasing in every line, and like the price of beefsteak, they are not likely to go down again. Florists as a class have not developed their sales depart- ments to the costly point that has been reached in most other lines. Last week Secretary John Young dis- tributed among the members the annual volume issued by the Society of Ameri- can Florists. It consists of 315 pages, printed in a style to conform to those that have preceded it in the series, and contains the report of the twenty-ninth convention, lists of members and brief proceedings of the special-field societies that met at Minneapolis the same time as the S. A. F. There is only one way to establish a permanently successful business, small or large, and that is by the employment of system. The larger the business the more necessary the system. The em- ployer who can not inaugurate system can not succeed in any large way, and the employee who can not adapt himself to a reasonable system is useless to the business. In the unfeeling words of Fra Elbertus, it is a case of ' ' (Jet in line, or get out." There is no business in which system is more vitally necessary than in selling flowers. THE NEW WHITE BUDDLEIA. A subscriber wants to know where he can procure stock of the ' ' new white buddleia." The man who has it can make money by advertising in The Re- view. TOBENIA ASIATICA. Replying to the inquiry in The Re- view for February 12 for a source of supply of seeds or plants of Torenia Asiatica, I do not find seeds listed in any of my fifteen or more continental and English catalogues, but plants are catalogued by James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, London, England. Theo. F. Beckert. BUDS DBIED IN BULBS? The reason tnat Golden Spur narcissi do not flower is that they are heated when being transported, and the buds are dried up in the bulbs. This is gen- erally the case with early flowering bulbs. I have the same trouble with my bulbs that J. G. L. told of in The Review for February 17. I did not take my bulbs in before the middle of Jan- uary and every one came blind, not only Golden Spur, but Victoria as well. I took in a batch the other day, and there is no sign of getting any flowers. I planted some Emperor bulbs, but doubt if they will bloom. Even tulips, such as White Hawk, Keizerskroon and Yellow Prince, do not bloom. The bulbs should be examined before planting, and a lot of trouble would be saved. You can split a few bulbs and see if the bud is dried up or not. Vermilion Brilliant tulip does all right with me. I split a few of Rose Luisante tulips and they seem to be all right. There is one steamer that is heated by steam and bulb growers should look out for that one. Paul Dieball. A WORD OF APPRECIATION. Here is a New Jersey florist who has found that it is not where a paper is PRINTED, but where it is READ, that determines its value as an advertising medium: A word of appreciation may not be out of place.- For the .50 cents we spent on a 5-llne classified ad of geraniums we could have sold $100 worth of stock If we had had the plants. We certainly will use The Review again when we have stock to offer. — Evergreen Nurseries, K. M. Van Gel- deren, Prop., Long Branch, N. J., February 21, 1914. CHICAOO. The Great Central Market. The market for the week between St. Valentine's day and "Washington's birthday was good — fully as good as anyone expected, perhaps a little bet- ter. Weather conditions were such as to hold down the supply of stock, but there was no general shortage, while the demand was strong enough to clean up all the first-class flowers at good prices. There were some exceptions, but not important enough to affect the satisfactory condition at the close of the week, for Washington's birthday brought some extra business for three days, February 21 to 23. This week the market eased a little as Ash Wednesday arrived, but the weather has been such as to hold off the expected deluge of flowers. For the last fortnight nearly everyone has been looking for a few bright, spring- like days to result in a big increase in FKBnuAEY 26, 1014.

But the bright, springlike weather has not come. Peculiarly, short Beauties became plentiful last week; usually there are not many in midwinter. The buyers had got out of the habit of asking for them, so there was no special demand and the stock required pushing. The better quality of long Beauties sold well. There have been enough of the long Killarneys for some time, but all last week it was difficult to find enough of any variety of rose in the medium lengths, and short roses were far short of the demand, especially White Kil- larney. For months the supply of the so-called novelty roses has not been equal to the selling possibilities. While there has been some improve- ment in the quality of carnations, there continue to be too many split and soft, weak-stemmed flowers and last week there was a shortage of strictly fancy stock. While the bulk of the re- ceipts were selling at $1.50 and $2 per hundred, the fine Ward and Pink De- light were quickly sold at $3 to $4, It seems strange that so many growers are content to produce the low grade stock. The same thing was true of jonquils, which increased in supply probably more than anything else last week. Golden Spur of the ordinary grade was well sold at an average of $2 per hundred, while Emperor, well grown, brought $3 to $4. Daffodils of common quality also were cheap. The local growers of single violets had a streak of luck last week. Some of them got into crop for St*. "Valen- tine's day and the fraternity as a whole had its first full pick of the sea- son last week. The storm in the east shut off the supply of Hudson river stock for three days, so that the local growers were able to market their stock to good advantage. The market had been so starved for doubles that the first day's receipts cleaned up well and it was not until February 19 that vio- lets again accumulated. Tulips are doing poorly this season. There is a fair sale for good stock, but the bulk of the flowers are poor and short-stemmed, fit for nothing but cheap funeral work. Most of the La Keine aje so lightly colored that this popular variety, probably grown here in quantity nearly if not quite as great as all others combined, is of little use CINCINNATI HEADQUARTERS FOR CUT FLOWERS OF ALL KINDS AND FLORISTS* SUPPLIES Green Sheet Moss $1.00 per bale; 5 bales. 14.75; 10 bales, $9.00 Sphagnum Moss, burlapped $1.25 per bale Fancy Eastern Ferns 2.50 per 1000 Green and Bronze Galax 1.00 per 1000 See our Classified ad on Hanging Baskets.

Some of these, too, are short-stemmed and of little value, but the long-stemmed stock of the winter- blooming varieties sells well and the new winter Spencers, being among the finest flowers in the market, are in wide request. In addition to the local demand, a big shipping trade is being worked up on these. Lilies are not overabundant, some of the large grow- ers being cut out for the time being. There are not many callas. Snapdragon is scarce. Freesia is plentiful, but Paper Whites and Komans are about out of the market. There is nothing special doing in greens. Smilax is scarce. Credit Association Reorganizing. There was a well attended meeting of local wholesalers last week, at which plans were discussed for a new credit association, to be under the manage- ment of F. S. Webb, who had charge of the one that expired last year. The new plan is radically different; the idea is to gather and exchange information, leaving the seller free to use his own judgment in the matter of granting credit. After the meeting fourteen members signed at once. John Zech, whose firm, Zech & Mann, foots all alphabetical lists, said it was his chance to head the line and was the first to sign.

Meyer, foreman of the Wendland & Keimel Co., and Eugene Dramm, one of the Wendland & Keimel section men, have purchased three acres of ground from August Timke, in South Elmhurst, on South York street, adjoining the Illinois rail- road, and have given an order to the •John C. Moninger Co. for a greenhouse 40x400 feet. They intend to break ground as soon as the weather permits and as soon as completed the entire house will be planted with Killarney Brilliant. Jerry Jorgenson, for some years with the L. 8. Donaldson Co., Minneapolis, will take Mr. Meyer's place as foreman for the Wendland & Keimel Co. There will be fewer single violets in Park Ridge next season unless the growers change their minds, several of them having stated their determina- tion to plant part of their space to carnations. That former florist, Albert Fuchs, continues to do things with north side real estate. He has just borrowed $150,000 on the property at the south- west corner of Broadway and Sheri- dan road, 252x343, improved with six stores and seventy -two apartments. After a stay of almost two months in the Rhodes Avenue hospital, his recovery at one time being despaired of, Anton Then made his first visit to the wholesale cut flower district Feb- ruary 21. The welcome he received must have done him good. Mr. Then suffered for years with a tumor on the right side of his face.

The real estate sections of the Sun- day papers reported the sale of the plant of the Star Floral Co., in the February 22 issue, in the following language: "Herman F. Schuettler, first deputy superintendent of police, has sold to Aaron T. Fyfer and Peter A. Olsem a tract of a little less than ten acres on Wilmette avenue for $53,- 000. The improvements comprise a resi- dence, barns and greenhouses. The grantees agree not to convey the six acres in and around the buildings now erected on said premises prior to the payment of eleven notes aggregating $43,000 and the release of trust deeds of even date therewith. ' ' About ninety per cent of the cut flower shipments of Bassett & Wash- burn now go out in the waterproof cor- rugated fiber board boxes made by the Sefton Mfg. Co. The boxes are rigidly stapled by a foot power machine manu- factured by the Judson L. Thomson Co., Waltham, Mass. The flowers are cleated into the paper boxes the same as in wood boxes, pimply using a special large-headed nail, and the boxes are iced the same as was the custom when wood boxes were used exclusively. Most of the firm's customers are said to prefer receiving their stock in the paper boxes, because of the lighter weight, but the ten per cent of the customers who want their shipments to arrive in the old style wood package are accommodated.
