SEASON'S LARGEST TRADE SHOW iir Each season there is some one exhibition that holds special interest for florists — run hy florists and attended by fl,orists. This season the big trade show was at Ind^napolis, where the Chrysanthemum Society of America and the State '¥lorists' Association cooperated, puttiug up a show that brought florists from the Missouri river and from New England. |Y general consent the shftw in central Indiana was this year to be the one ;that the trade was most inter- ested in. Eun by a com- mittee of Indianapolis flo- rists, it was likely to par- take more of the commercial character than any other large show held in the United States this season. Andfb it proved. k The Indianapolis florists would'TWlve liked to have a general flower show, with a premium list that covered a full line of trade stock and displays, but they realized that no adequate hall was available and wisely limited ^hfi-pre- miums to such as are offered ^y the Chrysanthemum Society of America, providing space for retail displays and miscellaneous exhibits not for competi- tion. Under the circum- ^ stances possibly the mums are entitled to first consideration, but, really, the retail- ers commanded the greatest measure of approval. No admis- sion was charged, ad- mission being by card, and the hall of the German house was packed during the hours it was open to the public. The big blooms, no matter how good, jammed down in a vase never seem to win the ap- proval, gained even by modest displays b y retailers — and those at Indianapolis were extremclv elab- orate. A Crowded Hall. The exhibits would have filled a hall twice as large. The competitive classes numbered only forty- five and entries came from only twenty-two exhibitors, but the total number of en- tries approximated 250, and there were many large displays not for competition. The K. U. Hill (Jo., Kichmond, -was the largest exhibitor, with thirty-two en- tries, besides several large groups for ilisplay. Other large exhibitors were Bertermann Bros. Co., E, D. Smith & Co., Mt. Greenwood Cemetery, Wm. Vert, Baur & Steinkamp, A. N. Pierson and B. F. Hensley, each of whom made from ten to twenty entries. It was the consensus of opinion that the show marked a cultural advance in the chrysanthemum, but that it brought out nothing new of large importance. The quality of the blooms was superb. Turner was the conspicuous variety, half a dozen exhibitors showing mag- nificent samples. Of the big blooms two new sorts received the greater part of the attention, Modello, from E, D. Smith & Co., and White Chieftain, from the E. G. Hill Co. Afodello is a new color and a little known form. The petals 'H«fo Comes the Bride"- From A. Wiegand's Sons Co. are shaped like those of a cactus dahlia, the color is a striking golden bronze, and the form indicates commercial posr sibilities. Smith also showed Mari- gold, a large incurved yellow; Mankato, amaranth; Calumet, bronzy yellow, and a number of seedlings under number, but none as distinct as Modello. Chief- tain, the pink Bonnaffon, has made a big commercial success in its first year, and the white sport of it looks good, but must compete with the White Bonnaf- fon for supremacy. Pompons a Feature. Perhaps the most striking feature of the show was the profusion of pompons and singles. The exhibits were so numerous they overflowed the hall and had to be set up in anterooms and on the stairs. The variety was infinite; too great, in fact, as confusion is sure to follow the naming of so many sorts that are not sufficiently distinct. It was a big vase of pompons showing wonderful culture that won the silver cup offered for the most meritorious* display in the hall. Jt was in the pom- pons and singles that A. N. Pierson showed strongest, special ef- fort having been hiade to build up a strong collection. W. R. Pierson promptly bought of H. Kieman the best novelty that showed up, a white pompon scoring nine- ty-two points, and named it Peace. Har- vest Moon, a new Johnson variety, yel- low, in the Pierson group, stood out as a winner. N e o 1 a, a white pompon flushed pink, in the Smith display, is thought well of and will be disseminated this season. Herman Bros. Co., of Council Bluffs, showed Queen Marie, magenta. The show was weak in chrysanth e m u m 22 The Florists^ Review NOVBMRER 12, 1014. plants, as are almost all middle-western exhibitions.

But the feature of the display was a wedding scene. The bride and her maid were repre- sented by two beautifully gowned wax -d^ures.

When they had satiated their interest at Indianapolis, the visitors scattered over the Hoosier greenhouse belt, most of them going to Richmond, Newcastle or La Fayette, and many visiting all three places. THE BANQUET. The State Florists' Association of In- diana celebrated its twenty-fifth anni- versary at the Claypool hotel in Indian- apolis and had as its guests members of the Chrysanthemum Society of America and of the Illinois State Florists' Asso- ciation. As befitting its silver jubilee, the affair was the most elaborate ever undertaken by the association and those present, who numbered 150, included many ladies. The menu was in keeping with the reputation of Indiana's most widely celebrated hostelry. Pompon mums were used on the tables. There was excellent music. Walter W. Coles, of Kokomo, presi- dent of the Hoosier organization, occu- pied the chair, but introduced E. G. Hill, of Richmond, to act as toastmaster. There is none more accomplished. Mr. Hill sounded the keynote when he spoke of the universal thanksgiving in this country that the United States is at peace and called on .Tohn A. Evans to lead in singing America. Wni. Kleinheinz, president of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, re- sponded to the welcome the organization was given and spoke humorously to de- feated exhibitors. He took occasion to say that at Philadelphia this season the quality of the stock shown was the best thus far seen in America. In the absence of the president of the Illinois State Florists' Association, the toastmaster called on Secretary Am- mann, although that gentleman said all seven of the association 's vice-presi- dents were present. Mr. Ammann told stories and complimented the ladies. Commendation for the retailers' dis- plays at the show and for the idea of free admission for the flower-buying public was the subject chosen by Frank R. Pierson, who told of 90,000 people passing through the aisles of the New 24 The Florists^ Review NuMMIilli IL', 1!»H. Roses Shown at Indianapolis by the E. G- Hill Co.

Pierson's Collection of Pompon and Single Mums Staged at Indianapolis. York show in four hours one Sunday afternoon. For tlie American Rose Society, Presi- dent Wallace R. Pierson told of the work being done for outdoor roses and spoke of 32,000 people having visited the rose garden in the park at Hartford, Conn., one Sunday, this in a city of 110,000 population. He told of the plans for the next annual convention and ex- hibition at Chicago in March and gave a general invitation to all in the trade to be present. The business inspiration to be found in flowers was the theme chosen by Irwin Bertermann, of Indianapolis, who said that the florist who keeps pushing will be the one who is permanently suc- cessful. Secretary C. W. Johnson said that it was his greatest pleasure to see the in- terest taken in this year's show of the Chrysanthemum Society. Elmer D. Smith said it was in 1890 he flrst ex- hibited and that he never had seen an affair of the kind that gave him greater pleasure than the present season's ex- hibition and reunion. Saturday night the State Florists' As- sociation of Indiana entertained at a smoker at Liederkrantz Halle, where the festivities were opened, and their spirit indicated, by the singing of "The Gang's All Here." J. F. Ammann in- terrupted the frivolity long enough to speak in serious appreciation, on behalf of the judges, for the retailers' displays at the show. C. S. A. ANKUAL MEETINa. Officers Elected.

In addition to the annual address of President Kleinheinz, the report of Sec- retary Johnson and the financial state- ment of Treasurer May, which latter showed income of $244.08, disbursements of $364.65 and a balance of $154.34, the following papers were read: "Pompon Chrysanthemums," by Fred H. Lemon, Richmond, Ind. "Chrysantliemum Cut Blooms for Exhibition," by Wni. Vert, superintendent at Castle Gould, I'ort Washington, N. Y. "Chrysantliemum Plants for Exhibition," by J. W. H. Campbell, substituting for J. Canning, superintendent of Heatiier Dell Farm, Ardsley, N. Y., where the specimens fourteen feet In diameter and carrying 1,400 blooms are grown. Mr. Campbell 's paper treated the sub- ject exhaustively. He illustrated it with many photographs of the big plants frequently exhibited in New York, sev- eral of which were seen in the illustra- tions in The Review for November 5. There was excellent discussion of all the papers. The society was in demand for 1915, invitations being received from Cleve- land, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Following a speech by H. P. Knoble, Cleveland was the unanimous choice PBES. KLEINHEINZ 'S ADDBESS. [The following Is the address of President Wm. Klelnlielnz, read before tiie Chrysantlieiiium So- ciety of America, In convention at Indianapolis, November 6 to 8, 15)14.] Another year has passed and again we meet as a society to pay due respect to the glorious flower, the chrysanthe- mum. This convention, in Indianapolis, is especially remarkalsle as a banner meet- ing, as it is held in conjunction with the silver anniversary of the State Florists' Association of Indiana. And as we have chrysanthemum specialists with us like Elmer D. Smith, E. G. Hill and others as proficient, the gather- ing must be a success, and I am proud to have the honor to bid you all wel- come in the name of the society. In the last fifteen years the improve- ments in the chrysanthemum have been wonderful, and have surpassed all expec- tations. Great credit is due to the raisers and introducers of new varieties, a good many of which are certainly revelations to the mum growers. It is not necessary to mention any special varieties, as our shows prove my state- ment to the greatest extent, and I am sure that the future will bring out still better varieties, because we have a lot of never-resting hybridizers among us and they will not rest until the highest point of honor is reached. The pompon and single varieties have also moved up to the front. Beautiful colors and combinations have been brought out in these effective and deco- rative kinds. The specimen plants raised for exhi- bition purposes in the last few years are also eye-openers for the public. I have seen plants exhibited in New York city over fourteen feet in diameter, carrying over 1,400 flowers per plant and forming the chief attraction of the show. But don't forget what skill, Mme and labor were required to grow a plant to such perfection, and we must feel proud that those plants are grown Modello— Something New in Chrysanthemums. November 12, 1914. The Florists^ Review 27 After all the skill, all the labor and all the expenaea, the grower in general is proud every season to see his flowers develop. Yet the growers, especially in the east, have nearly every year to suffer a more or less serious loss. Warm weather sets in just at the time the flowers should have a cool atmosphere. This warm weather is generally accom- panied by rolling fogs, with a high humidity, and the best flowers rot away within a few days. So far, nothing is known that can prevent this. Any sug- gestion or remedy would be thankfully accepted by this body. I hope that you will all enjoy this convention and derive great benefit from it; also that the Chrysanthemum Society of America will have a larger membership next year. TBEASUBER MAY'S BEPOST. The following is the report of J. N. May, treasurer of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, for the year ending October 30, as presented at the Indian- apolis convention, November 7, 1914: New Rose Mrs. Moorfield Storey. (As Shown at Indianapolis by the Waban Rose Coneervatories, Natick, Mass.) by gardeners who are members of the Chrysanthemum Society of America. Why Join the Society? Considering the large number of chrysanthemum growers in this country, it is to be deplored that so few are members of our society. The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- ica is beneficial to all mum growers, as we rout out the poorer varieties by having committees appointed all through the United States; by these committees the new varieties are examined and when they are found to be up to the standard, a certificate is awarded. This prevents minor sorts from being repre- sented as up-to-date, and thus the buy- ers of new varieties do not run the risk of getting inferior sorts. The Chrysanthemum Society also holds a yearly exhibition, giving an elegant opportunty for competition. At these exhibitions, only flowers of the best quality are shown, flowers which demonstrate to the grower what can be done and what a flower of the highest standard looks like. The society also sends to its members a copy of the proceedings of the yearly meetings, and this alone should be inducement enough to every chrysanthemum grower to join us. This has been the cry for years: 'How can we increase our member- ship?" I appeal to everyone who is interested in these beautiful flowers to send his application to our secretarj^ and become a member of this society. I am sure that after one year's mem- bership he will say, "I am glad that I joined this able body and I must get my friends to do the same." The Scale of Points. In regard to the scale of points, I would say that I do not think it pos- sible to improve on it. One suggestion 1 would like to make; a few varieties ot our most wonderful exhibition flowers are lacking in stiffness of stem and need artihcal supports, when staged on long stems. This T think is a weak point of these varieties and should be consid- erea. i feel that any exhibit artificially supported should lose at least two points. This will not harm these sorts and still will give justice to varieties with self-supporting stems, but lacking in size. In regard "to culture and other points, I do not intend to pass any remarks, as every kind of climate and soil re- quires different treatments, but I must say that not everything is gold 4;hat glitters. 101.3.

John- son, secietary of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, presented at the Indianapolis conven- tion, November 7, 1914.] We are pleased to report progress. The number of seedlings submitted to the examining committees shows an in- crease over the preceding year; new members have been added to our ranks and our income also shows an advance. The reports of the examining com- mittees were sent to the trade papers each week as they were received by the secretary, and a final, summary of the season's work was published. The trade press generously printed these and other notices sent to them free of charge, for which we owe to them our vote of thanks. Our vice-president, A. F. J. Baur, deserves the commendations of this society for the great interest he has taken in the welfare of the Chrysan- themum Society and his efforts to make the present meeting a success. The routine work of the secretary's office, consisting of sending out the statements to the members, recording the varieties disseminated, getting out the report of the twelfth annual meet- ing and soliciting the special premiums, was attended to in due season. Our special premium schedule is larger for this exhibition than it has been for any other, and to all the firms and individuals who have helped us to make it so we extend our thanks. A meeting of the society was held at New York during the time of the Na- tional Flower Show, with President William Kleinheinz presiding and A. F. J. Baur acting as secretary pro tem. One of the important matters brought up at this meeting was the definition of the term "spray," as applied to the single and pompon chrysanthemums, and it was approved that the term "spray" shall mean the cluster of blooms produced by a single terminal growth. As instructed-at the last annual meet- ing, the secretary sent letters of appre- ciation to William K. Harris, Phila- delphia, Pa., and to Fred Dorner & Sons Co., La Fayette, Ind., the raisers respectively of the varieties Ivory and Major Bonnaffon, to show the apprecia- tion of the society for the wonderful record these two varieties have made as money-makers for the florists all over the country. Eeferring to the membership of the society, your secretary earnestly re- quests that each member undertake to do some personal work to get new members to join at this meeting. We are entering upon the twenty-fifth year of the Chrysanthemum Society of America's existence, so let us celebrate it by a big increase of members. The badges for members winning first premiums at any chrysanthemum show have again been sent to the secretaries of the different societies, requesting them to attach one to every first- premium exhibit of a member of the C. S. A. The secretary wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Elmer D. Smith in furnishing him with a com- plete list of varieties disseminated in 1913, which was a great help in making up the annual report. NOTES OF THE AUTUMN SHOWS QUALITY THE KEYNOTE OF THE SHOWS THIS YEAR CHICAGO. Horticultural Society's Show. The larger part, and unquestionably the more important part, of the chrys- anthemum show of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, held at the Art In- stitute, November 9 and 10, consisted of exhibits not entered for competition. The classes open to commercial grow- ers numbered six. Class 7, for the best display of cut blooms of outdoor chrys- anthemums by an amateur, had no en- try. The chrysjj^nthemum entries were mainly by Poehlmann Bros. Co. and Mt. Greenwood Cemetery. Confronting the visitor as he entered the doors of the Art Institute was a large circular arrangement of plants by Poehlmann Bros. Co., which the judges rightly thought worthy a silver medal, though it was not entered for competition. At either side of the room were cyclamens and begonias and in the rear were araucarias, crotons, ferns and other foliage plants from the same concern. In the competitive classes Poehl- mann Bros. Co. also led. Vaughan 's Seed Store won first prize for a group of chrysanthemum plants, the only group entered. Poehlmann Bros. Co. took first for the best display of cut blooms of large-flowering mums, with W. H. Chadwick. Robert Blackwood, gardener for Mrs. A. C. Allerton, Lake Geneva, Wis., took second, with Mrs. Gilbert Drabble. For the best display of cut blooms of single, pompon and anemone chrysanthemums, Mt. Green- wood Cemetery won first place, with a large and excellent showing, while C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., took sec- ond with fifty-odd vases of various varieties, all named. The only display of seedling mums not disseminated was made by Mt. Greenwood Cemetery, and first prize was given this vase, named Mt. Greenwood, a pink, incurved va- riety. Poehlmann Bros. Co. made such a strong showing in the class for a vase, basket or other arrangement of cut blooms of large-flowering mums, with the usual accessories, that its vase of Yellow Chadvvick was given first prize and one of White Eaton sec- ond. A. Lange's vase of Wm. Turner was also given a second prize. A. Lange 's arrangement in the class for a vase, basket or other arrangement of pompons, singles or anemones, with usual accessories, took first place, and one of Poehlmann Bros. Co. took sec- ond. A striking basket, of large di- mensions, containing both the large- flowering and pompon types, arranged by the Bohannon Floral Co., was dis- barred. Non-Competitive Exiiibits. One of the leading non-competitive exhibits was the large plant of Wm. Turner shown by Robert Blackwood, which was seven feet across and had in the neighborhood of 700 blooms; this received a silver medal. On the second day the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., showed a fine vase of Hoosier Beauty, the new Dorner crimson rose, and one of the unnamed yellow seedling designated as No. 1000, which took every grower's eye. It will be sure of a large sale when it is offered to the trade. A new white anemone, Chas. L. Hutchison, was shown by Mr. Hutchi- son's gardener at Lake Geneva, Wm. P. Longland, and was given a bronze medal. The new pompon, Queen Marie, shown at Indianapolis by Herman Bros. Co., of Council Bluffs, la., was exhibited and received honorable men- tion. The Chicago Carnation Co. showed Peerless Pink and the new scarlet car- nation Aviator, which made an excel- lent appearance and was awarded a certificate of merit. The J. D. Thompson Carnation Co. showed a first-class vase of each of the three new carnations. Vera, Superb and Hero, each of which received a cer- tificate of merit. Wm. Tricker, of Arlington, N. J., had a nice display of Nymphjca Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, his new lavender water lily, which received a certificate of merit. One of the most interesting exhibits was that of W. A. Manda, of South Orange, N. J., comprising a number of foliage plant novelties. The new dahlia, Albert Manda, also attracted notice. Polypodium Mandaianum, Anthericum Mandaianum, Manda's Golden privet, Adiantum O'Brieni, Cyperus alter- nifolius laxus variegatus, Asplenium elegans. Begonia Christmas Red, and a number of other novelties were exhib- NOVKMBKi: 12, 1914; Tr.'"-^: r.-^- '■■■r- , •'.-yf- "WTfjt-oi The Florists' Review 29 Vases of Chrysanthemums Arranged for Effect, a Feature of the Boston Exhibition. ited. This display received a bronze medal. Winterson's Seed Store had au ex- cellent display of foliage plants of various kinds, which filled one corner of the room. This was awarded a bronze medal. In addition to his singles, Chas. H. Totty showed specimen blooms of his new large-flowering varieties, Mrs. J. Purroy Mitchell, Baldwin, Woodside, Mrs. A. S. Watt and Earl Kitchener. Not only were the retailers repre- sented iu the list of awards, but the Ernst Wienhoeber Co. brought to the public's attention the retailer's art by having two of its representatives make up baskets of various kinds with single and pompon chrysanthemums. The tasteful arrangements caught the eyes of the visitors. The judges were N. J. Wietor, Guy French and George Asmus. C. W. John- son was manager. BOSTON. Massachusetts Horticultural Society. While the big blooms and specimen plants were not so much in evidence at the show which opened in Boston, No- vember o, interest in them having de- clined, tlipre was a better show than a year jigo. Specimen blooms wore more largely shown and of much better qual- ity. Single chrysanthemums were splen- did; so were the orchid groups. The groups of flowering and foliage plants showed a marked improvement, and begonias were numerously shown. Re- tailers were out in force, there being eleven entries for the best table decora- tion. The new class for vases arranged tor effect also proved popular. No new chrysanthemums wore shown, althougli there were many inquiries for them, and there were no trade groups from a dis- tance. The attendance of gardeners and florists was as large as ever, but the general public did not patronize it so well as usual, perhaps because there '^ m> "° sensational feature.

The Waban Rose Conservatories re- ceived a silver medal for a beautiful vase of the new rose, Mrs. Moorfield Storey. A similar award went to Wil- liam Downs for three grand plants of the rich English winter-flowering be- gonia, Mrs. Heal. If commercial grow- ers would take this up, it should make a grand Christmas plant. Farquhar & Co. received a silver medal for a large and well arranged group of flowering plants, and the same recognition might well have been given a grand display of sin- gle anemone and pompon mums from T'"- P.] Putnam, mostly seedlings. A gratuity was awarded. Peter Fisher received a first-class cer- tificate for Carnation Alice, and E. H. Wetterlow a cultural certificate for Begonia Turnford Hall. He also had other good begonias. E. J. Norman had a display of seedliflg chrysanthemums. Thomas T. Walt had an interesting table of platyceriums, statices, medinillas .tnd other plants. Breck-Robinson Co. had a good group of flowering and foliage plants, as had Fred Becker. Edward MacMulkin had floral decorations, and Mrs. E. M. Gill dipladenias and alla- mandas. Littlefield & Wyman received honora- ble mention for their new Winsor-colored carnation seedling. It stood up nicely right through the show. Edward Wink- 30 The Florists^ Review NOVXMBEB 12, 1914. ler's Morning Glow also received hon- orable mention. It is not large but of a charming color, Edward MacMulkin received first for the best decorated fruit table. The Bos- ton Market Gardeners' Association had a fine display of choice vegetables. T. J. Grey Co. received the silver medal for the finest seedsman's display of veg- etables. It included over 125 varieties and was thoroughly representative. The one disappointing feature of the show was the absence of roses. Good money prizes were offered, but not a solitary vase was shown in competition at a time when all are bemoaning the fact that roses are hard to move and are selling at the lowest prices ever known in Boston at this season. W. N. Craig. NEW YORK. American Institute Show. The eighty-third annual show of the American Institute was held November 4 to 6 in the Engineering building. There was plenty of room for the ex- hibits, and the arrangement added much to the charming effect. Chas. H. Totty's exhibits were to the fore in attracting attention and winning blue ribbons. His two new roses, White Shawyer and Mrs. Thomp- son, were much admired. His chrysan- themums, as well as those of a number of gardeners from private estates, were noteworthy. He received special prizes for his hardy seedling, single and new varieties. The displays of orchids by Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J., and the Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J., fully maintained the exhibitors' high standards. John Lewis Childs, of Flowerfield, N. Y., showed his new celosia, for which he received a special award. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, play he received a special award from the judges. The Commercial Awards. The quality of the competitive dis- plays was high throughout. L. A. Noe, of Madison, N. J., deserves mention for his showing in the rose classes. The awards to commercial growers were as follows: t CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Twenty-four blooms, one variety, long stems — Thos. W.

Ottley, Glen Cove, N. Y.; W. H. Waite, for Samuel Untermyer, Yonkors, N. Y.; W. H. Duckham, for D. Willis James, Madison, N.

Conn., also received a special prize for an effective group of chrysanthemums, and Thos. Head, of Bergenfield, N. J., for hia excellent display of hardy perennials.

Lancaster 's first flower show was held November 6 and 7 in the Hiemenz Auditorium, under the auspices of the Lancaster County Florists' Club, and proved most successful. The attend- ance was large throughout the show and thousands expressed their pleasure and surprise at the wonderful array of chrysanthemums. R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was present and pronounced the show one of the most enjoyable he had attended this autumn and enlarged on the artistic arrange- ment and quality of the exhibits. The formal garden arranged in the lower part of the building by B. F. Barr & Co. was beautiful. The beds were planted with hardy mums and edged with sod. Beautiful beds of Scarlet Bedder gera- niums planted by Rudolph Nagel were quite effective. T. J. Nolan, for the King Construction Co., erected a green- house 10x35, in which a bench was filled with begonias grown by E. P. Hostetter, of Manheim, and also the amateur entries in the plant classes. Ira H. Landis, of Paradise; Elmer and Charles M. Weaver, of Ronks; Amos N. Rohier, of Strasburg; H. B. Weaver, of Bird-iu-Hand; W. B. Girvin, of Leola; .1. Ira Ranck and Walter Denlinger, of Vintage; E. P. Hostetter, M. H. Hos- tetter and P. S. Hostetter, of Manheim; Frank L, Kohr, John R. Shriner, Frank A. Suter, L. S. Landis, Rudolph Nagel and A. M. Herr, of Lancaster, had highly creditable displays of their re- spective specialties in cut flowers. Maurice J. Brinton, of Christiana, showed a table of Lilium magnificura and Scholzcli ferns. H. D. Rohrer staged fifty varieties of large-flowered chrysanthemums, specimen blooms in single vases, and was awarded a spe- cial prize of $25 by Lord & Burnham Co. His vase of Wm. Turner mums were of remarkable size. E. F. Campbell, of Marietta, showed Appleton mums of superior culture. A. F. Strickler, of Willow street, showed twenty-five varieties of outdoor pom- pons, which were wonderfully fine. Retail Exhibits. The retail exhibits were attractively arranged. H. A. Schroyer's table deco- ration was of the highest order. Geo. G. Goldbach 's exhibit was fine and showed marked ability and taste. The exhibit of B. F. Barr & Co., arranged by Chas. F. Edgar, was a most inter- esting one. Two table decorations, one a 3-leaf clover and the other a 4-leaf clover, were up to the minute.

They pre- sented to every visitor a tiny flower pot attached to a pin so as to be worn, which made a novel advertisement. Vernon H. Stirk, foreman for Mary E. Bachler, had an arrangement of palms and blooming plants that showed remarkable skill on the part of Mr. Stirk. Thos. R. Fries had a fine display of palms, ferns and cut flowers. Chas. B. Herr, of Strasburg, showed a remarka- ble lot of potted pompons. The amateur classes brought out a large number of exhibits, for which sil- ver cups and other prizes were awarded. The judges were H. C. Huesman, of Reading; Chas. Schaefer, of York, and S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia. From Out of Town. The exhibits from out of town were large and fine. S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, sent Radiance roses and orchids in a number of varieties. The Leo Niessen Co., Philadelphia, sent Killarney Brilliant, Fireflame and Thora roses. The last named, a new, soft shade of pink, was one of the most admired vases in the show. Elmer D. Smith, of Adrian, Mich., sent his 191.5 chrysanthemum novelties. They arrived in fine shape and were beautiful throughout the show. His Flamingo, Marigold, Modello and Man- kato were a revelation to lovers of chrysanthemums. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., of White Marsh, Md., sent fifty-seven varieties of pompons. The exhibit was one of the beauty spots of the show. Exhibits by A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; United States Cut Flower Co., Elmira, N. Y.; McCallum Co., Pitts- burgh, Pa.; Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wm. Swayne, Ken- nett Square, Pa., arrived in fine condi- tion. Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., sent a bunch of Alice carnations, which proved itself a good shipper, as the flowers at the end of the show were as though they were freshly cut. C. H Totty's new chrysanthemums were the admiration of all. H S Brandt, of York, had a fine exhibit of ferns. H. p. Michell Co., of Phila- delphia had an exhibit of bulbs and florists' supplies; D. J. Keohane was in charge. S. S. Peunock-Meehan Co. had an elegant showing of new baskets, rib- bons, etc., which were in charge of H. S. Price. Pfaltzgraff Pottery Co., York, Pa., had an interesting display of florists' pots, bulb pans, etc., in charge of C. L. Keeny. The decorations consisted of wild smilax, oak branches and wall pockets filled with yellow mums. Eckenrode's orchestra furnished music. On the day after the show the cut flowers were sent to a dozen charitable institutions and hospitals. The flower show com- mittee consisted of Albert M. Herr, chairman, H. K. Rohrer, treasurer, and Rudolph Nagel, C. F. Edgar and B. F. Barr. Among the trade visitors were: R. T. Brown and D. S. Ward, of Queens, N. Y.; R. Vincent, Jr., and R. A. Vincent, of White Marsh, Md. ; S. S. Pennock, Arthur Niessen and H. S. Price, of Philadelphia; D. T. Conner, T. J. Nolan, Geo. Pugh, Wm. Primrose, H. C. Huesman and J. H. Giles, of Reading; Adam Rohrer, Chas. Schaefer and Aug. Schaefer, of York, and James Brown, of Coatesville. H. K. R. TAREYTOWN. N. Y. Horticultviral Society's Show. The sixteenth annual fall exhibition of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held in Music hall November 4 to 6. The exhibits were far superior to those of previous years, both in quality of flowers and plants and their arrange- ment. There was keen competition in the class for the group of decorative plants, and R. M. Johnston and Chas. R. Russell deserve great credit for the groups shown by them. The tables of decorative plants were the finest ever shown by the society. The table of orchids shown by Chas. R. Russell was particularly beautiful. The exhibits of roses, carnations and chrysanthemums were also especially fine. The F. R. Pierson Co. exhibited a fine vase each of Ophelia and Francis Scott Key roses, each being awarded the so- ciety's silver medal. The F. R. Pierson Co. exhibited also a fine lot of roses, chrysanthemums and ferns, which were awarded a certificate of merit. Certifi- cates of merit were awarded also to the following: Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. Y.,. for a fine exhibit of large-flowering,^ single and pompon chrysanthemums; R. M. Johnston, superintendent for Wm. B. Thompson, for seedling verbena; Chas. R. Russell, superintendent for Finley J. Shepard, for seedling Begonia semperflorens variegata Dorothy Gould; Robert Angus, gardener for Joseph Eastman, for vase of Golden Perfection chrysanthemums. The table decorations the second day of the show were particularly interest- ing, and there was keen competition in this class. The first day the judges were S. Carl- quist, Lenox, Mass.; Alexander Mac- kenzie, Highland Falls, N. Y., and George H. Penson, New Brunswick, N. J.; the second day, James Blair, Staats- burg, N. Y.; Robert Williamson, Green- wich, Conn., and Alexander Thompson, Mt. Kisco, N. Y.; the third day, L. A. Martin, Irvington, N. Y.; Joseph Mooney, Hastings-on-Hudson, N.

Y., was awarded first prizes for a bunch of 100 single blue violets and for a bunch of 100 dou- ble blue violejts. A few amateurs ex- hibited, but the entries in the competi- tive display were mostly by gardeners and superintendents of the private es- tates of the vicinity. The prize-winners among these were the following: R. M. Johnston, superintendent for Wm. B. Thompson; Chas. R. Russell, for Finley J. Shepard; Wm. Waite, for Samuel Un- termyer; James Ballantyne, for Mrs. F. E. Lewis; John Canning, for Adolph Lewisohn; Thos. A. Lee, for Mrs. Carl Vietor; Robert Grieve, for Hugh Hill; Abel Weeks, for Mrs. F.

It continued in the second, third and fourth days. The crowds were large and appreciative, fully justifying all the hard work so freely given by the management and the exhibitors. The decorations and the arrangement of the exhibits were in excellent taste. The general quality of the material ex- hibited was of a high order. Julius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, N. J., dis- played decorative stock and nursery suggestions. The Robert Craig Co. had choice crotons, dracronas and early flow- ering cyclamens. S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. exhibited florists' supplies and nov- elties. William Tricker, Arlington, N. J., had a new crimson chrysanthemum, Arlington, and aquatics.

Pa., had fine orchids and a new ficus of good habit. Edward A. Stroud's sister painted a Japanese garden scene as a background for his Japanese garden. The private gardeners put up some magnificent stock in all the classes, forming the main strength of the show. A yellow sport from William Turner and a pretty sport from Morton F. Plant were interesting novelties. Dracaena Longii, from Thomas Long, was a rare novelty. The features of the rose exhibit were the vases of Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty from the E. G. Hill Co. Joseph Heacock Co. exhibited fine Radiance and well- colored Killarney and White Killarney. There were good My Maryland and Lady Alice Stanley, a novelty here. Pennock Bros, put up a beautiful table containing hampers, baskets and vases of exquisite form, filled with selected stock. They used white lilacs, pompons. Radiance and Lady Alice Stanley roses, with dainty green. Myer Heller had a lovely little yellow French polyantha rose effectively ar- ranged in baskets. A word of praise must be given to David Rust for his work as secretary, and to William Graham and his able corps of assistants for their handsome decorations. Phil. LAKE GENEVA, WIS. The Lake Geneva Gardeners' and Foremen's Association gave its tenth annual chrysanthemum exhibition at Horticultural hall, November 6 and 7. The exhibits were practically all from the private greenhouses of the neigh- borhood, of which there are many. The quality of the stock shown never was better and the prizes were well dis- tributed. A special feature of the show was the staging of twelve groups, these serving to make the exhibition one of the pret- tiest in the history of the association. Of exceptional excellence among the cut mums were those of R. Blackwood and J. Smith. Ferns and foliage plants of splendid quality were brought by J. Krupa, anemone and pompon mums by W. P. Longland, carnations by A. John- son, orchids by J. Smith and mums and vegetables by A. Martin. Honorable mention was given Wm. Tricker, Arling- ton, N. J., for nymphffias, and C. H. Tot- ty, Madison, N. J., for single and pom- pon mums. The principal exhibitors and prize Begonia Mr&. Heal as Shown at Boston. winners were: R. Blackwood, gardener to Mrs. A. C. Allerton; J.

The tenth annual chrysanthemum show of the Nassau County Horticul- tural Society was held October 29 and 30. There was a fine display of well finished mums, carnations, roses, vege- tables, etc. All the classes were well contested. The judges were W. Tur- ner, T. Bell, R. Angus and A. Griflin. Among the prominent exhibits the class for fifty varieties of JMirdy pompon chrysanthemums was a foremost fea- ture, as the two exhibitors had each won the cup two years and this year was the deciding one. It was won by Henry Gaut, gardener to Mrs. H. L. Pratt. John W. Everitt, gardener to Mrs. J. T. Pratt, was second. J. W. Everitt won the cup for table decora- tions, with a splendid table of a new single pink seedling chrysanthemum named Ernest Westlake, Jr., Henry Gaut taking second place with Dorothy Dann, a fine bronze. Joseph Adler, gar- dener to Harvey S. Ledew, Esq., was third with the. bronze, Peter Pan, and F. Honeyman, gardener to Percy Chubb, was fourth with a bicolor single. There were eight entries for this class. The society's cup for twelve kinds of vegetables was won by F. Petroccia, gardener to A. G. Hodenpyle. The principal exhibitors and prize- winners were: F. Honeyman, gar- dener to Percy Chubb; H. Gaut, gar- dener to Mrs. H. L. Pratt; James Mac- donald, gardener to Mrs. J. H. Ottley; A. Fournier, gardener to W. L. Hark- ness; A. Boss, gardener to Mrs. W.

Hester, and Thomas Leeming. James Gladstone was manager of the show. PROVIDENCE, E. I. »The' annual autumn exhibition of the Rhode Island Horticultural Society was held November 4 and 5 at the Mathewson Street church and attracted a large number of exhibitors and flower lovers, who were unanimous in the opinion that it eclipsed the eflforts of the last several years. Chrysanthe- mums formed the principal feature, al- though carnations and roses found prominent places. Burke & Burns were first in all the rose classes except one, Macnair the Florist being first on Ward. On carnations J. A. Macrae was first on White Perfection, White Wonder, Enchantress, Matchless and Champion, the rest of the premiums being divided between E. E. Howard, R. J. Taylor and Maplehurst Greenhouses.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS. W. P. Shibbs, of Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville, Ky., reports an excep- tionally heavy crop of blue grass seed, of the finest quality. The present low price is inducing many to speculate. T^his concern is having increasing calla for Kentucky Wonder pole bean, owing to the scarcity of Valentine. Five cars were received and stored in the ware- house recently built, arranged with elevated tracksi A shipment of 300 bushels to one customer evidences the popularity of this well known bean. Onion sets harvested well — a fine sup- ply for next season. Mr. Stubbs says business since June 1 has run twenty- five per cent above the average. Part of this is attributed to mjiny farmers sowing wheat in j^ftld'l o'f cotton. Wood, Stubbs & Co. were fortunate in getting well stocked before the market ad- vanced. They are listing for their retail catalogue trade a line of leading perennials, having had many calls, and intend planting on part of a farm of 1,000 acres. Soil and -climate are ideal for their cultivation. Otto Schwill & Co., of Memphis, ^enn., say fall business is the best they ever had. C. E. Heckle, manager, showed me a/ specimen ear of a new corn grown by the Harpeth Valley Seed Farms. It is called Terminal Red Cob. It pro- duces two ears to a stalk, seventy to eighty bushels to the acre, and matures in 110 days. I also saw a specimen of Ullathorne 'b Champion, yielding sixty to seventy bushels to the acre, bred by Jos. Ullathorne, of the Ullathorne Seed Co., Memphis. C. H. Hune, of the Memphis Floral Co., Memphis, says the company has struck rock bottom, now being located in the basement, but will be back at the old stand about January 1, in a fine new building. Business has been good, both in wedding and funeral work. Chrysanthemums are selling well. The Idlewild Greenhouses, Memphis, are busy turning out excellent stock. The chrysanthemums grown three blooms to a plant seem to be the most profitable for the ordinary run of trade. J. P. Keller, Lexington, Ky., is mak- ing a special feature of bulbs along with the usual display of chrysanthe- mums at this time. He reports good business. Honaker the Florist, Lexington, is holding an exhibition in his handsome store, the usual chrysanthemum display. The new title, John A. Keller Co., Lexington, includes the lady members of the Keller family, who have been interested in the business for some time. Stock in the houses looks good, especially Killarney roses and Silver Pink snapdragon. Ivory is still popular as the early white chrysanthemum. Fairy Queen and Diana are the two best sellers in the pompon class. A fine ice-box and storage room are among the latest improvements. The Goodale Seed Co., Lexington, expresses itself well satisfied with its first year's business. It is well located for both wholesale and retail patronage, gardeners. W. M. GROWINa EXHIBITION MUMS. [A paper by William Vert, of Castle Gould, Port Washington, N. Y., read at tlie Indianapolis convention of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, November 7, 1914.] After the shows are over, look ta your stock for the coming year. Select as many good, healthy shoots as re- quired, seeing that each variety is labeled correctly. Keep them free from mildew and fly. When the propagating time is at hand, select the sturdy cut- tings and insert them in the bench already prepared, watering them in thoroughly. This will carry them for a few days, besides firming the cuttings. Keep them sprayed lightly, to guard against wilting. They should be rooted in about three weeks; then pot them up in 2-inch or 21^-inch pots, with a nice, light com- post, but do not firm sufficiently to injure the roots. As soon as they are established give them an abundance of air, to keep them firm and sturdy, but never allow them to become rootbound. The Successive Pottings. It is essential to have the pots thor- oughly clean, in order to transfer the plants without injury. Repot into 4- inch pots with a nice compost, consist- ing of three parts fibrous loam to one part leaf soil and one part decomposed manure, adding charcoal, wood ashes, sand, etc. Place in a house or frame and keep closed for two or three days. Many people bench from the 4-inch pots, while others prefer the pot-grown plants, of which I am strongly in favor. When they become nicely rooted, repot into 6-inch pots, using practically the same compost, but using it coarser, besides adding a little bone meal. Keep a sharp lookout for mildew and fly; also see to the disbudding. Should they not show a natural break at this stage, it is good policy to pinch them in order to encourage the next break. When the pots become well filled with roots, an occasional watering with diluted liquid manure or soot water may be given with advantage, A spray- ing overhead with the latter is also beneficial as an insecticide and stimu- lant. See that the plants are hardy and well rooted before placing them in their final pots, which should be 7-inch to 9-inch. Perfect drainage is most essential. The soil should be well rammed, allowing a space of two inches for watering and top-dressing. For compost use four parts fibrous loam, one part leaf soil and one part decom- posed manure, adding lime rubble, wood ashes, charcoal, sand and soot, and al- lowing a 6-inch pot of bone or bone meal to each barrow load of loam. Feeding, Pinching and Disbudding. Feeding may be commenced as soon as the roots are found to be running freely, by applying weak doses of manure water. Change the feed some- times as time goes on, using chemical manure, such as Clay's, Bon Arbor, etc., which will be found most beneficial if used with care and according to direc- tions. Never apply manure when a plant is dry. About the middle of June some vari- eties not making natural breaks, such as F. S. Vallis, Harry E. Converse, Mrs. Lopes, etc., will need pinching to make them produce buds early in August. This allows about six weeks for the last break; later varieties should be timed accordingly. About August 10 many of the buds will be ready for taking. After this date it is safe to take all buds as soon as they become large enough to be handled without injury. In disbudding, discretion must be exercised by remov- ing a few at a time. Keep the plants nicely staked, tied, and clean. After the buds are secured look out for their worst enemy, the red spider, which will give considerable trouble if it once gets into the blooms. To avoid this, fumigate once a week until the buds show color. Continue spraying the foliage on bright days, avoiding the buds, which will, rot if the water is allowed to settle in them. Also beware of the hairy caterpillar, which will ruin the foliage. Shade is sometimes neces- sary to guard agaiast the burning of the petals during hot, bright days. The bronze and red varieties are more sus- ceptible to burning than the other colors. Packing the Blooms. Cut blooms intended for exhibition are greatly benefited if put into water twenty-four hours before shipment. As to the packing, the blooms travel much better if wrapped with a full sheet of soft tissue paper, which is easily done by slitting the paper at the fold, insert- ing the stem in the slit just below the bloom, then gathering the folds and fastening at the top of the bloom with a gentle twist. For blooms intended to travel a distance, it is well to wrap the ends of the stems with wet moss, or use the regular Wells patent tubes. I find the most serviceable box for shipping to be six feet long, twenty- two inches wide and twelve inches deep. In staging, see that all blooms are fresh and unblemished, and preserve as much foliage as possible in the long- '^|5RP^IP?!^'-#-l"-''1*'''' ■■•'R" ^^ '• ■' ■" "'•"^y""-'^*^ • NOVEMBEK 12, 1014.

Lemon, of Richmond. Ind., read at the Indianapolis convention of the Chrysanthi'mum Society of America, Novem- ber 7, 1914.] Looking back over the interesting history of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, a thought which occurs to one over and over again is the long list of noteworthy men who have honored this society with papers and lectures on various subjects of interest to the mem- bers. How naturally you think of the Chrysanthemum Society when you come across such names as Elmer D. Smith, A. Herrington, Prof. Cow- ell, C. Harmon Payne, Wm. Scott, Edwin Lonsdale, Mr. Wells, C. W. John- son, and on through a long list — men who really know about chrysanthemums and who have given freely of their knowledge, first for the benefit of the Chrysanthemum Society, but always with the result of an uplift extending throughout the entire trade! Consider also the incalculable value of the se- ries of articles appearing every year in our trade papers — articles of such prac- tical merit as to constitute a textbook covering the entire subject of chrysan- themums from the cutting bed to the customer. Taking all these things into consider- ation, it is not possible that I should be able to add anything of permanent value to this marvelous record. It was therefore with great hesitation that the invitation of your honorable secretary was accepted, and only the realization that the members of this society would not expect anything of great value made me decide to try to write some- thing of interest. Beasons for Society's Existence. I do believe, however, that a condi- tion confronts this society altogether diflferent from the condition which ex- isted at its inception and organization, or even the condition existing ten years ago. In the original constitution, which was adopted away back there in the middle nineties, there were five ob- jects named as reasons for the society's existence. All these five "objects" ap- plied primarily to production and im- provement in culture. Only in Section 3 we find that one of the objects was to improve the methods of culture, and to increase its use as a decorative flower." How this last clause hap- pened to slip in, I do not know, but today I believe, with all the strength of conviction, that that little hidden clause contains the germ of the future growth and usefulness of the C. S. A. 4 Si J ♦JL'C '■^■^ '• ='^M-"j m I • 4 i The New Pompon Cbrysanthetnum, Queen Marie. I believe that getting the millions of Americans to know chrysanthemums with an intelligent familiarity is, or ought to be, the greatest object of this society. Any exhibition, no matter how grand the display, no matter how the expense is met, is a potential failure if it does not draw to its doors thousands of the more cultured people of the community, and, of even greater importance, show them new and beautiful ways of using chrysanthemums, as well as make them marvel over the glorious giant blooms. Throughout the entire fabric of our business the paramount problem has changed during the last decade from the oft-repeated question of, ' ' How can we best produce the stock to meet the leap- ing and bounding demand?" and has become one of reaching and teaching the great American public to appreciate our wonderful product. Artistic Use of Small Mums. This change is no less true in chrys- anthemums than in other lines, and I believe that in the pompons and sin- gles we have a class which will assist us greatly in our appeal to the public. The deep-seated conviction that such a change has come to pass in our busi- ness must constitute the only valid ex- cuse for my appearing before this body of men, all of whom are able to teach me about chrysanthemums. As a small-town fiorist who grows aqd sells his own fiowers, I see in the single and pompon mums the only section of the chrysanthemum family which is amenable to the floral artist's everyday efforts. "Floral artist" — how we hate those words! And yet, what can we substitute? If anyone here has ever tried to obtain a soft and lovely eflfect with Timothy Eaton mums or even with Bonnaffon, I ask, if the resultant brain stonn was not the artistic temperament showing forth, what was it? But give the man who has to make a flo- ral basket a few sprays of Mrs. Buck- ingham or Mensa, and behold the result! Or a table decoration, in the autumn leaf colors — how well it works out when a few bunches of Inga or Ceddie Mason are at hand! How beautifully the strong tones of orange and yellow and red in the Mrs. Frank Beu sparkle in the soft light of the reception room! Even the formal little buttons like Baby or Skibo — how well they lend themselves to the formal Dutch bouquet or stately colonial! Just as the tiny Cecile Brunner or Bon Silene roses charm her ladyship into buying a cor- sage bouquet when she only intended to wear one rose, so will the crisp and sprightly Minta charm the customer into using mums for her table decora- tion in order to form a pleasing con- trast to the great blooms of Wm. Tur- ner in the hall. Selling One's Services. In a word, while the gorgeous and beautiful giant flowers of the queen of autumn simply give the retailer some- thing to sell, her tiny sisters, the pom- pons and singles, give him a chance to sell his services — his training — his abil- ity— his artistic instinct. The average retailer of today would as soon attempt to do without sweet peas as to go through the mum season without pom- pons. The singles must be kept to a few varieties of the sturdy, crisp, outstand- ing kind which will stand handling and retain their form and beauty; when such kinds are found they are the pretti- est of all chrysanthemums. Among the pompons the kinds with flowers rang- ing from the size of a lialf dollar to the size of a dollar are most useful, but a few buttons are always desirable. So 36 The Florists^ Review NOVBIfBBR 12, 1914. New Store of M. J. Callaban, Philadelphia. far as colors go, the store man can use them all, and this cannot be said about the large-flowering section. From the retailer 's standpoint, I think it is safe to say that the pompons and singles form quite as important and necessary a class as the large-flowering type — that we are just as delighted to| see them arrive in October and just as( ready and anxious to kick them out in December. We love them while they are with us, and when they are gone we mourn them — not at all. MR. TOTTY SEEIOUSLY ILL. Charles H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., was operated on November 6 at a hos- pital in Summit for appendicitis. Since the operation his condition has been critical. Peritonitis is feared. There are few rtien in the trade who have more friends than has C. H. Totty. If well-wishes have any inflnence, his recovery will be rapid. A FINE PHILADELPHIA STORE. Some seven years ago Joe Callahan opened a flower store at 3804 Market street, West Philadelphia. He worked hard, kept down expenses by living in the rear of his storp, and, with the aid of his better half, gradually built up a good business. People began to find out that he and Mrs. Callahan^ meant to please their customers; nothing was too much trouble. Their idea seemed to be to give good flowers and good service and to ask a fair price in return. The result was, the best people liked to deal at Callahan's. Today M. J. Callahan owns the build- ing in which his store is located, at 3924 Market street. It is the most beautiful store west of the Schuylkill river. A splendidly filled show window attracts the passer-by. Inside, a novelty case filled with pretty things, a handsome icebox cooled by an automatically regu- lated half -ton ice machine, a ribbon case and a substantial oflSce adorn the hand- somely furnished store. In the rear are a large conservatory, a storeroom and a garage for the two Ford cars and the now pensioned wagon. A little bird told Mr. Callahan that The Keview's readers wanted to see what he had been doing this summer, so, being a man of action, he kindly had this photograph taken expressly for their benefit. Mr. CallahauMS seen on the left of the picture. Herman Schoen- feld is on the right and Al Thomas is in the rear. Mrs. Callahan modestly de- clined to appear. Phil. NOLL'S NEW STORE. The accompanying illustration shows the new store of T. J. Noll & Co., Kan- sas City, Mo., who have found it neces- sary to enlarge their space in order to take care of their business. The firm now is in its second year and reports sales running well ahead of last season. MILWAUKEE. The Market. There seems to have been no improve- ment in general business conditions dur- ing the last week. There is an over- supply of everything. Roses make a good showing in both quantity and quality. The stock is exceptionally fine and is moving fairly well, despite the glutted condition of the market. The carnation supply was cleaned out pretty well during the first part of the week, but there is such an enormous supply of cheap mums on the market, bringing next to nothing, that carnations are suffering to some extent. Despite this fact, there seems to have been a slight improvement in the sale of carnations in the last few days. Good mums are bringing good prices, when sold, but owing to the overabundance of cheap stock, the good stock is not moving nearly as well as it should. Violets are improving every day and are sellihg well; the quality is up to normal, but the quantity is far short of last year. Lilies are moving slowly; the supply is extremely light, but the demand is even lighter. Valley is- selling fairly well and there is plenty to meet the demand. Various Notes. A party of florists from this city left November 5 to attend the flower show at Indianapolis, Ind., expecting to re- turn November 9. Among them were H. V. Hunkel, Wm. R. Schroeder, Nic Zweifel ajid Wm. Kennedy, of Mil- waukee, and J. E. Matthewson, of She- boygan, Wis. Wm. Eayner, of Oconomowoc, Wis., visited Milwaukee November 6. • Nohos & Co., in the Merrill building, have opened a new store in the Camp building. The new location is an ex- ceptionally good one, as the corner is one of the busiest in the city, and the venture should prove highly successful. Wm. C. Zimmermann, who ran for the oflace of county treasurer, was not elected November 3. His many friends in the business did all in their power and his defeat was not due to lack of ability, but rather to the fact that the party with which he was associated was not strong enough to win. Walter Holton 's wife 's sister has just completed a walk from Spokane, Wash., to this city, accompanied by her hus- band. The couple, who are stopping with Walter Holton, have many inter- esting stories to tell of their trip. At the last meeting of the Florists' Club the evening was devoted to an exhibition of mums, which was well worth seeing. The Holton & Hunkel Co. had a display of Smith's Sensation. The C. C. Pollworth Co. showed nu- merous varieties of pompons, as well as some excellent single mums. The Heitman-Oestreicher Co. displayed some Bonnaffons. A. Reinhardt showed Lynn- wood Hall and Eaton. W, S. Desmond, of the L. 8. Donald- son Co., Minneapolis, Minn,, passed through Milwaukee November 7, on his way home.

BUFFALO. The Market. Trade is picking up since cold weather set in. There has not been much funeral work, however. Chrysan- themums are not so good this year as last. It has been said that the warm October weather affected them; they seem soft and do not keep well. Pom- pons are coming into the market in large quantities and there are some fine varieties. Carnations are excel- lent and the demand is fair. En- chantress and Pink Delight are espe- cially fine. Roses are much improved, owing to the cooler weather. Mrs. Ward, Shawyer, Sunburst, Killarney Queen, Hadley and Taft are among the best sellers. Orchids have been in de- mand, especially for debutantes' recep- tions, where they are used for table decorations, etc. Valley is good, but still is high in price. Marguerites, sweet peas. Paper Whites, Sweetheart roses, snapdragons and cosmos are the leaders in small flowers. Various Notes. A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is sending some fine oncidiums, pha- laenopsis and cattleyas to this city; also some excellent show chrysanthe- mums. Joseph Streit has a house of Chad- wick mums which will be specially fine. His Lorraine begonias are ready and Cincinnati will be in fine condition for Christmas. At Stroh's Quality Flower Shop trade is much improved since the cooler weather set in. They are grow- ing some fine Paper Whites and some excellent pompon chrvsanthemums at their greenhouses in Attica. Harold Brookins has some excellent Spencer sweet peas, but is not cutting a great many at present. However, the full crop will soon be on. in^ 1^^-,^^?°^' «^ Henry A.

As a special feature, a debutante window drew large crowds. It contained a debutante figure receiv- ing gift baskets, bouquets, etc., at the reception. There was also a handsome mantel decoration of cattley&s and Farleyense ferns and a dinner table decoration of red roses and yellow pompons. William Ehmann, of Corfu, is ship- ping some excellent marguerites and carnations to this market. The Lake View Rose Gardens, of Jamestown, N. Y., is cutting some fine Turner chrysanthemums which are im- mense in size; some fine Timothy Ea- ton also are coming in. Harry Aust reports that his business is growing constantly and that funeral work keeps on coming his way. E. C. A. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Business has improved somewhat since last report. The colder weather has helped trade along. Also, a num- ber of prominent people have been called away by death, and this has made a lot of funeral work for every- body. All seem to have had their share of the work. There have also been a few good weddings. Counter trade is not up to the mark, but is im- proving slowly. All outdoor stock has disappeared, giving the greenhouse men a chance. Chrysanthemums are improving and large consignments arrive each day. The Bonnaffons are greatly welcomed, as they are of fine, lasting quality. Pacific Supreme, Chrysolora, Ivory, Touset and Queen have been good sell- ers during the last week. There are a lot of pompons in the market, as well as white, yellow and pink Garzas of fine quality, and all sell fairly well. Beauties are good and bring good prices. There is an abundance of other roses on the market and, although good stock, they are cleared at low figures. There has been an extra spurt in vio- lets. Carnations are of fine quality, but the supply is not large. Orchids are good, but sell slowlv. Piaster lilies are plentiful, but there is no great de- mand for them. Bouvardia and mig- nonette are in the market. Valley is plentiful. The first Paper Whites of the season arrived during the week. There are plenty of bronze and green galax, magnolia leaves and all kinds of greens. There is a good demand for potted plants, though about all that are offered are mum plants, Lorraine be- gonias, valley, primi:oses and cycla- mens. Various Notes. J. B. Keller Sons have had a busy week. Trade is improving satisfac- torily and they have several good orders ahead. They are receiving some beautiful single violets, which find ready sale. The Maurer-Haap Co., of the Central Nursery, is doing a lot of window ad- vertising. They report business as ex- cellent and they are moving an im- mense quantity of bulbs and shrubs. George T. Boucher recently had an unusual window display of -ferns in 31/2-inch crocks. It appeared as a large green rug, so regular and even were the fronds. The Hawks Nursery Co. reports good business. Personal letters have been sent to every member of the Florists' Associa- tion by President John Dunbar and also by Secretary H. B. Stringer, urging the members to attend the meetings more regularly during the coming win- ter season. Interesting topics are being arranged for the regular monthly meet- ings. A wonderful display of chrysanthe- mums is being shown at the Lamber- ton jMemorial Conservatories, in High- land park. They are now at their best, over 2,800 plants in full bloom being shown. The display includes many of the newer varieties, and large crowds attend daily. James Vick's Sons are being kept fairly busy at their store on Stone street. The bulb season is at its height and large quantities are being sold. ^H. J. H. Galena, El.— J. V.

The greenhouse at the rear was filled with large chrysan- themums of various colors. C. L. L. The market is at present badly over- crowded with chrysanthemums of all types. A return of warm weather is responsible for this oversupply, which extends to roses and carnations. Few violets are to be had; those coming in are but fair and stems are short. There is, however, a good demand for this flower. Snapdragon, which is coming into the market in small quantities, is not good and the call is light. Sweet peas are increasing in quantity, but are in little demand. Cattleyas are off the market and the new crop is not ex- pected until the latter part of next week in this locality. Dendrobium formosum is plentiful and is exception- ally good. Gardenias are better, both as to quality and quantity. American Beauty roses are in oversupply. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club of Washington held its regular monthly meeting in the rooms of the American Institute of Banking last week. Among its guests were Eichard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., and Prof. Anspon, of the Maryland Agricultural College. Mr. Vincent brought with him a large col- lection of small chrysanthemums and gave a short talk on the rise and fall of the small varieties. He declared that these were regaining the popu- larity which they lost upon the advent of the larger types. Prof. Anspon invited the florists and growers to take advantage of the fa- cilities of the college to avoid insect depredations, improper results from fer- tilizers and similar troubles, sending the necessary specimens for experi- mental purposes. An exhibit of small chrysanthemums was made by Theodore Diedrich and these, with a handsome vase of Killar- ney Brilliant, were the subject of favorable comment on the part of those present. At the conclusion of the meeting the club proceeded to the store of Gude Bros. Co., where the firm's exhibition of chrysanthemums was viewed, and later to the Grotto, where a buffet luncheon had been prepared. Various Notes. Theodore Diedrich is bringing in some fine small chrysanthemums. His singles and pompons are meeting with ready sale. David G. Grillbortzer is cutting some of the finest Killarney Brilliant that has ever been seen in this locality at this season of the year. George H. Cooke has taken possession of his new store, at 1102 Connecticut avenue, northwest, and now has one of the most attractive establishments in the city. Gude Bros. Co. has just completed what has proved to be one of the most successful chrysanthemum shows ever held by the firm. The entire floor space, about 5,300 square feet, was attrac- tively decorated for the occasion with large palms, ferns, autumn foliage and cut flowers. The huge fountain space in the center was turned into a rockery and was topped with a large standard of American Beauty roses. The large stretch of space behind the icebox usually devoted to workroom purposes was given over to a showing of small KANSAS CITY. The Market. Business is improving, the condi- tions having been a little more favora- ble during the last week, and everyone seems to be more cheerful. The weather is not favorable to the grower or to the retailer, as it is too hot and brings stock into bloom too quickly. Chrysan- themums are just two weeks ahead of their time to bloom. Carnations and mums both are soft and flabby, and there are too many coming in at one time, which makes it difficult to dis- pose of them. The sales of low-priced mums and inferior stock are small. The retailer who does not handle this class of stock can sell the better grades at higher prices to his customers when he explains the difference in the quality of the flowers. All stock wholesales at a lower price than a year ago, and there is plenty of good stock of all kinds. The rose supply is not so heavy, although both quantity and quality have improved considerably over last week. The prices have advanced a lit- tle, but they are not up to the average of the season for such good stock. Short roses are not so plentiful and are bring- ing a comparatively higher price than the better grades. There are not enough yellow mums of the best quality to supply the de- mand, but the other colors seem to be plentiful. Of the inferior grades there seem to be too many at the close of the week, causing some sales at low prices in the department stores and elsewhere. Pompons and singles are in abundance everywhere. It seems as though everybody has doubled his stock this year, which makes the market slug- gish for these varieties. Carnations are improving in quality and there is a steady increase in quan- tity. The prices are low, owing to so many chrysanthemums being on the market at present. Various Notes. . ^ Ed. Ellsworth has purchased nine acres of ground at Grinter Heights, a suburb of this city, on the interurban Bonner Springs line. Mr. Ellsworth in- tends to make it his home some day. The purchase price was $3,000. Mr. Hepting has purchased the inter- est of his partner, Mr. Stevens. Mr. Hepting has about 25,000 square feet of glass, which is devoted mostly to carna- tions; he also has a couple of benches of mums. He is cutting carnations which are above the average. Arthur Newell reports that business is going along nicely and he is satis- fied ■vyith the results. He had a heavy run on funeral work last week. W. J. Barnes has had several small decorations, which keep things going. He has a fine lot of mum pot plants, but they are not moving as fast as they did last year. T. J. Noll & Co. report that business is on the increase and they are receiv- ing a fine lot of cut stock that is mov- ing well. They are receiving a good many advance orders for supplies for the holiday trade and are working up a nice out-of-town business. W. J. B.

As Mr. Schling ex- presses it, "In one class we got $100 as a prize, and I thought that was all, but on Monday morning I received a large medal, almost a pound in weight, as a special prize for the most artis- tically decorated car." The picture shows Mr. Schling inspecting the car as it was ready to start out. NEW YORK. The Market. The Indian summer weather continued all through the last week, and the cut flower market showed no improvement until Saturday. It was a week of sacri- fice. Many vanloads found an outlet through the department stores. The bar- gains were largely in the rose and car- nation departments. ■The flood of chrysanthemums is at its height. Prices are at least fifty per cent lower than in other years, and few of the best flowers have gone above $3 to $4 per dozen. There will be a splendid supply of mums for Thanksgiving, and some of the wholesalers are already booking orders for Christmas. The shipments of roses of all kinds are now at high tide and the quality im- proves daily. American Beauties are superb. With twenty-five varieties of roses to select from daily, no taste need go unsatisfied. Some of the new vari- eties of roses are quite popular, espe- cially Hadley and Ophelia. Carnations sold all the week at half their Value. There is little hope of nor- mal prices for these and the short- stemmed roses until the mum shipments grow less. Both lilies and valley are firm at present quotations. Rubrums are low. Longiflorums show a harden- ing tendency. Daisies, narcissi and sweet peas are now abundant and prices nominal. The violet men are talking $1 for the Yale game on Saturday, but have been glad to take a third of that figure for the best during the week past. The colder weather will bring a gradual improve- ment. There is little, if any, advance in price in the orchid market and no decrease in quantity. Club Meeting. President Duckham was promptly in the chair as usual when the meeting of the Florists' Club was called to order, November 4. The fair faces of nearly a hundred ladies graced the occasion and an even larger number of the sterner sex were present, nearly every prominent member of the club attend- ing. The business session was brief. Resolutions of sympathy on the death of Miss Lillian Shaw were read bv Emil Schloss, for the committee, and a mes- sage of hope and greeting was sent to Charles Totty, dangerously ill at Over- look hospital. Summit, N. J., following an operation for appendicitis, Novem- ber 6. James Fraser, of Morristown, and bamuel Batchellor and P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck, were elected to member- ship, c.

Mr. Duckham made a graceful ad- dress of recognition of the club's cour- tesy in withdrawing his name for the ofiice for another year. The rooms were handsomely decorated with chrysanthemums, roses and oak leaves and banks of palms, provided by Wm. Kessler, Paul Meconi, Walter F. Sheridan, Jas. McManus, Traendly & Schenck, Gunther Bros., United Cut Flower Co., C. Slinn, New York Flo- rists' Supply Co., L. B. Nason, J. K. Allen, Badgley, Riedel & Meyer, H. E. Froment, Pennock-Meehan Co., E.

The bouquets for the artists were made by Messrs. Hanft and Dentale, of Young & Nugent 's staff. The ribbons were the gift of Schloss Bros. The banquet table was adorned with chrysanthemums and smilax. The menu was satisfactory, as usual, and the musi- cal and literary entertainment the best ever afforded. The various artists do- nated their services and the club's thanks were hearty and universal. A. J. Guttman presided and with eloquence, wit and humor conducted the affair to a great success. Messrs. Duggan, Gutt- man and Musto deserve credit for their good work as officers of the house com- mittee. Various Notes. Thos. F. Galvin,'s window decorations at his store on Fifth avenue are attract- ing much attention; they are sometimes changed twice daily. James Coyle's best seller last week was the white Arline. He also displayed the first of the Enguehards. Alex. McConnell's importations of boxwood from Holland for window and vestibule decoration have arrived and are of superior quality. This firm has had during the last week several nota- ble church wedding decorations. A message from his father called A. H. Henshaw suddenly to England No- vember 7. M. Aronowitz, of the Barclay Nursery, has leased the large corner store at Barclay street and West Broadway for a term of years. It is a splendid loca- tion for a dealer in bulbs and plants. Guttman & Raynor 's new store is ap- proaching completion and will be one of the largest and most convenient wholesale establishments on Twenty- eighth street. One hears no complaints as to general business at the seed stores, and all seem to be doing as well as in ordinary years when no wars prevailed. The immense windows of the Stumpp & Walter Co. are featuring bulbs at present. The sessions of the MacNiff Horti- cultural Co. will continue until after the holidays, if the weather prophets are to be believed. The monthly meeting of the directors of the Cut Flower Exchange was held Saturday, November 7. at Queensboro plaza, in the office of W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., liong Island City. B. Rosens, the supply man, has a great assortment of novelties for the holidays, and is the sole importer, he says, of the popular frieze roping from Japan. Woodrow & Marketos are still busy with landscape contracts, which wiil take the rest of the year to complete. Dierks & Arenwald have removed their enterprise to Brooklyn and have a department with Abraham & Strauss, of that city. The wedding of Miss Alice Clarke to John Ashwell took place at St. Pat- rick's church, Jersey City, November 4. The bride was given in marriage by her father, Charles Clarke, and the maid of honor was Miss Grace Miller, daughter of Wm. H. Miller. The best man was Geo. W. Ashwell, brother of the groom.

Pompons never were so abun- dant as now, and this includes the so- called single varieties. They sell in quantity, but at low prices. Next to mums, the carnation is the most abundant flower. The supply is much larger than usual at this time of the year and prices continue low. While the growers who produce strictly fancy stock are getting fair money, the grower whose stock is only average is realizing much less than normal No- vember returns. While it would appear that the quan- tity of Beauties on the market would justify seasonable prices, the fact is that the dealer who does not cut rates to clean up frequently finds himself with an accumulation of open flowers. The abundance of mums is thought to have had more effect than usual on the price of Beauties so far this month. Rose crops are not heavy, but there is all the stock that is required. This does not always apply to orders for the novelties, and sometimes it is diflfi- cult to find short White Killarney, but Killarney is equal to requirements. Killarney brilliant is not doing as well as the growers had expected, and those who planted Hadley still are awaiting results. Violets are selling at the best prices of the season, not because there is special demand, but because the weather has caused the local singles to drop their buds, just as the sweet peas have been doing. Also, until re- cently the weather has been too warm for the shipment of the Hudson river violets. Consequently, there have been Yellow White GARZA Probably the most popular of all the Pompon Mums.

Lilies are slightly more plentiful, both giganteum and rubrum. There is val- ley enough to go around and prices are easier than at any time since war was declared. There is some short pink snapdragon that is selling fairly well. Paper Whites arrived this week. One of the noticeable features of the market is the increase in the number of cash buyers who visit the wholesale houses. These are the owners of the small stores that are increasing in number so rapidly through the outly- ing business districts. In the aggre- gate they take great quantities of stock out of the market every day. Field Closes Flower Department. After an experience of a little more than a month in the florists' business, Marshall Field & Co. closed its flower department November 7. No announce- ment was made as to intentions. Richard G. Kootz, who has had charge, under the millinery manager, of the two sections devoted to flowers and plants, was released; the other em- ployees were transferred to other de- partments. The fixtures are still in place, but the space is being used for other lines. The trade long has been of the opin- ion that the big store has the oppor- tunity to do the largest flower busi- ness in Chicago, but the trade was j.<,w.j||'JW(HJ..^'."»**,^.7*^<»w*'fi'^-'"'' yiT.iW v-i"' ' VOTBHBKR 12, 1014.

That is the fundamental principle of Gloekler Flower Refrigerators. It keeps the refrigerator sweet, clean and sanitary, and at the Bame time results in a saving of ice consumption. It requires perfect insulation to produce this con- dition, and the Gloekler method of reinforced cork insulation has been proven by test the only practical way of producing such a result. And then, the selling quality of the refriger- ator— that is a big point for consideration. These refrigerators display flowers so attractively that they almost sell themselves. They are as valu- able as an extra salesman in your store. They present an insistent argument to the customer to buy, but in an unobjectionable way. And, after all, the first aim of the florist is to sell. Gloekler Refrigerators are made of selected materials, finished to exactly harmonize with your store interior, and completed with our own heavy, attractive hardware.

CASTORLAND, NEW YORK MeDtlop The Re Tie w when yon write. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. On the morning of October 29 we had our first frost of the season, with the thermometer registering 28 degrees. Nearly all the outdoor stock, unless protected, was killed. After two or three hard frosts, the temperature rose to the summer level and last week busi- ness was slow, owing to the heat. The present week started cool, with a large number of funerals, and much better business will result. This week will see the finish of the greater part of the mums, as the warm weather hurried them on. About the only ones left will be the extra late varieties. Koses are plentiful and the wholesale price is low. Carnations are coming in with nice flowers, but the cut is a little short. Various Notes. William Halbrooks, superintendent at the Oak Hill cemetery, is cutting some nice carnations from his new house, which is located near the ceme- tery. He is selling the cut at whole- sale. The greater part of the plants are of the Enchantress varieties. Some of the newer sorts are being tried out. The house is 30x200 and of Moninger semi-iron construction. The boiler is a 125-horse-power Brownell, put in with the expectation of erecting more houses. The establishment is on a 5- acre tract of fine, level land, near the city limits. Two of the sons are in charge. Louis Fritsch has put in a new hot water boiler, with capacity enough for another house. He reports a good busi- ness. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Elspermann have returned from Chicago. They were ex- ceedingly busy on All Saints' day and All Souls ' day and business since then has been good. The west side business men recently held a fall festival and it is planned to hold one annually. The exhibits were all in tents, of which there were six. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had a large exhibit of palms, ferns and cut flowers in the pure food tent, and it attracted considerable attention. They won the first prize.

Miss Nellie Goodge has a few benches of lavender Queen mums that are un- usually fine. W. D. Macer keeps a good stock of mums in his store and appears to have an excellent business. Royston & Fenton are having a nice cut of roses and smilax, for which the demand is good. It seems that but little effort would be needed to induce all the florists to make an exhibit at the next fall festi- val held on the west side. The busi- ness men over there are a lively bunch and would be glad to have such an exhibit. Think it over. E. L. F. SYRACUSE, N. Y. The Market. Little can be said in praise of the weather during the last week. With rain and cloudy skies predominating, there is little encouragement for the florists. The early varieties of mums have practically disappeared and such varieties as Bonnaffon, Eaton, Razer and the like are coming into market in great quantities. There is an oversup- ply of nearly all kinds of mum.s. Car- nations are seen only in small quanti- ties and are of rather an inferior grade. The Flower Show. The principal topic of conversation among the florists is the flower show, which was held November 5 to 8, under the auspices of the Visiting Nurses' Association. As this was the first flower show held in this city in many years, the florists are to be commended for the results which were obtained. Exhibits were made by E. D. Smith & Co., of Adrian, Mich.; A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn.; C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.; Pennock-Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, and G. B. Hart, of Rochester, in connection with the local growers and dealers. The Baker Floral Co. showed one dozen each of twenty-four varieties, in- cluding Wm. Turner, Roman Gold, Timothy Eaton, Bonnaffon, Mrs. Kelley, Elise I'apworth, Pockett's Crimson, Black Hawk, Smith's Sensation and Pink Gem. They also exhibited some fine cyclamens in 5-inch to 8-inch jars. Mr. Brown, the foreman for the com- pany, reports that they are growing 26,000 mums in fifty-three varieties. Of the local dealers, P. R. Quinlan made a large exhibit of plants, roses and mums, showing some good Vallis, Razer and Turner, together with sev- eral vases of pompons. Peter Kay exhibited, in addition to mums and potted plants, two excellent vases of Carnation Gorgeous, which re- ceived considerable notice. G. Bartholme showed a fine display of mums and palms. The Pierce-Christian Co. exhibited fine vases of exhibition blooms, consist- ing of one dozen each of Turner, En- guehard, Appleton and .Tosephine. Charles Bourne's display included mums of fine grade, plants and several baskets of pansies in bloom. Other local exhibitors included Ban- nister Bros.. Chester A. Harris, L. J.

Bard & Davis have a most wonderful line of pompons in their greenhouses this year, comprising many of the newer sorts. The W. E, Day Co. has been ex- hibiting in the windows some choice blooms of the newer kinds of mums and pompons. Irving Clark, of Jamesville, and Wil- liam Swind, of Cazenovia, have de- cided to discontinue their greenhouse operations for the coming winter and have disposed of their stock. Mr. Swind, however, will continue the cut flower and design work as usual. R. W. Vogt, of Skaneateles, reports an exceptionally good fall in shrubs and roses, having had a big increase in orders and planting over last year. Mr. Sheldon, the narcissus specialist of Oswego, was in town during the mum show and expresses himself as greatly pleased with the efforts of those in charge. He reports great progress in the development and grow- ing of bulbs on his place, and antic- ipates a big future for them. The Baker Floral Co. reports having received thirty cases of azaleas from Belgium, in fine condition, and will have the usual quantity for Christmas. L. S. B. ST. PAUL. The Market. Conditions last week were highly satisfactory to the general trade. The cooler weather has set in and business was brisk. Debutante receptions re- quired a lot of stock and at these affairs the best generally prevails. Fancy baskets are taking the lead in the debutante sales. The larger stores report exceptionally heavy sales along these lines. Funeral work is plentiful and the general business is reported as constantly increasing. Stock is fine and the supply is well taken care of. Chrysanthemums at some of the grow- ers' places are about cut out. Carna- tions and roses are fine and at times the market has been short. Violets are of good quality, but are slow in coming in, no doubt owing to the weather. Orchids and bouvardias arc ready sellers. Various Notes. St. Paul will shortly add one more store to its list.

The fact that they are able to move the flowers at some price is encouraging. Chrysanthemums rule the market. Prices range lower than last season for the same quality of flowers. In a gen- eral way fine Bonnaffon bring about 12^/4 cents; Maud Dean, the same; Alice Byron, Dolly Dimple and Alice Salo- mon, about 10 cents, while 8 cents is a fair figure for Ivory.

Prices on pompons range about the same as last week, with a greater variety for selec- tion. Violets are the scarce flowers in the market, but there is so little demand for them that this scarcity is hardly felt. The rose crop is rather off, due possibly to a nip from Santa Claus, but this is mainly felt in the shorts or saving-a-Ioss grade, for which there is keen competi- tion among the quantity buyers. There is no especial feature to the rest of the market, excepting the fact that everything feels keenly the com- petition of the autumn queen. The November Meeting. The election meeting of the Florists' Club was the best in a long time; everybody was there and helped to make things go. There were good ad- dresses from E. Gurney Hill, of Rich- mond, Ind.; Myer Heller, of Newcastle, Ind.; C. L. "Washburn, of Chicago, and C. T. Carrie, of Portland, Ore. President George Burton announced the commit- tees. A number of new members were elected. After adjournment President Burton entertained the club. Various Notes. The national flower show committee met at the Hotel Walton, November 11, to make the preliminary arrange- ments for the big show to be held in this city in the spring of 1916. Charles Poryzees has returned from Greece. John R. Andre is embarking in the coal business, with two practical coal men, at Doylestown. Mr. Andre will run his coal business as an adjunct to his greenhouses, with the idea of get- ting his coal at cost, it is said. Miss Mary Brown has opened a new store, her third, at 1523 Germantown avenue, formerly occupied by F. W. Myers. Miss Brown's two other stores are on Rising Sun lane and at Fifth and Fairmount avenues. President Eschner, not President Wil- son, says that business has greatly im- proved since the election. Raimbault & Bruzeaud Co., of Buena, N. J., is sending the first early white lilac to John W. Mclntyre. H. Bayersdorfer says that all the flo- rists' supplies for which invoices have been received are now here. He pre- dicts a scarcity by the end of next month. A. F.

The Germantown Horticultural So- ciety held a successful chrysanthemum show November 9 at the Friends' library in Vernon- Park. There were ex- cellent exhibits and a large attendance. Miss A. H.

There is an added interest attached to these cyps from the fact that John Bur- ton spent his leisure summer-time get- ting tnem into trim.

The week has been unusually warm and fair for the season, there being no approach to frost at any time. Every- thing has come forward faster than was desired, and there has been an abund- ance of everything seasonable. Of course chrysanthemums continue to be the big feature and there is a larger supply of these than there is demand, but roses and carnations are not far behind. What we need is something to clean up the surplus. The demand is better than it was a few weeks ago and even better than it was a week ago, but it is not nearly so good as it was a year ago. This, together with a supply that is greater than ever before, means plenty to go to the dump. But still no one is complaining, for everything is bringing fair prices. Various Notes. The Art Association gave an exhibit last week in the Carnegie Library building, and several florists donated exhibits of plants and cut flowers. As their names appeared on the exhibits, they benefited somewhat by the show, though the visitors were left to be their own judges of quality. This leads to the query, why not have a flower show in Nashvillet There are several sea- sons of the year when such an event could be held and it would be well patronized, besides being a good way to educate the public to buy flowers. The Nashville Manufacturers' Asso- ciation is holding a special exhibition of things made in Nashville this week, •and some of the florists are taking ad- vantage of the occasion to get some ad- vertising by putting up exhibits. Goldenrod, wild asters and rud- beckias in several varieties were most abundant this season, and, as they were somewhat of ST novelty, they were used in decorations to a considerable extent where florists' flowers would otherwise have been used. This may in part ac- count for the decrease in the demand. Mclntyre Bros, have a nice display of mums in their new place this week. Of course the old place is full of plants and cut flowers as well. At the Hillcrest School Farm bulbs are being dug. Tuberoses and ismene have done well, but nothing else has amounted to much this season. All hands are busy in the city parks getting in bedding stock and putting things in shape for the winter. A great deal of tree surgery is being done this' fall. . Haury & Sons have their wagon on the street at present selling pot plants of various kinds. Their store is well stocked with the best line I have ever seen at their place. The Joy Floral Co. is keeping up the exhibit of "fifty-seven varieties," and it attracted favorable comment from the daily press a few days ago. The company exhibited a vase of twenty- five as fine white chrysanthemums at the Art Association exhibit as one often sees. Pot mums continue to be the feature at the store of Geny Bros., but their cut stock is better than usual, also. F. B.

The Market. Summer-like weather prevailed last week, which brought out cut stock in great quantities, and the market again was overcrowded with everything in season, especially chrysanthemums. In these, all the late varieties are coming in heavily. The extra fancy sell well, but not at such prices as were obtaVied last season, as trade in retail circles has been dull and the overproduction caused a slump in the prices of fancy blooms. All the wholesale houses have a big supply of fancy blooms of Ivory, Major Bonnaffon, Golden Wedding, Eaton, Chadwick, Appleton and Kelley. Roses are in fine supply, with the de- mand slow and prices low in all grades. Some extra fine Milady, Hadley, Rich- mond and Killarney were noticed daily at all the markets. The best hardly went over $8 per hundred. Of carna- tions the same story can be told. The large supply that is coming in daily has to be disposed of at low prices in order to make them move. Beacon and Enchantress in all varieties are among the best, having long stems and excel- lent color. Violets and sweet peas sell well. Valley is plentiful, with a good call. Easter lilies are not any too »it- merous. Paper Whites are coming in and the first brought $4 per hundred. Outdoor stock is now a thing of the past for this season. The weather con- ditions are better, for this week opened cold and clear, which should AkaMUnUy fttputt ■! ■H tiaes. Edwards Floral Hall Company 1716 Padfic Ave. ATIANTKOTY.

FLORIST put some life into the business. Greens are plentiful. Various Notes. The St. Louis County Growers' As- sociation held an interesting meeting November 4. The attendance was large and all the officers were present. It was decided that all members purchase an oil stove, so that if anything should happen this winter to the heat- ing systems of any of the members there would be enough stoves in an hour's time to keep the frost out. President Vennemann says it was one of the best meetings the association has ever held. Phil. Goebel, Jr., who brings in the county growers' cuts each morning, is cutting some extra fancy blooms of chrysanthemums and especially his Bonnaffons, which are being consigned to Windier. David Geddis says his floral depart- ment at Vandervoort's put in a busy week. The sale of bulbs was especially heavy. A lot of large funeral designs, including a 50-dollar casket cover, m9^e ai valley and white mums, were gotten out. The Lady Florists' Home Circle met November 11 at the home of Mrs. Fred W. Bruenig.

Burkemper, local represent- ative of the Grasselli Chemical Co., called on the trade last week in the interests of nicotine. The Bourdet Floral Co., Geo. B. Windier, John Held and Wm. Schray & Sons have a world of fine chrysanthe- mums, both cut flowers and pot plants, from which they supply the local store men. The demand has been good in all varieties. Grimm & Gorly's place on Washing- ton avenue looked like a flower show last week. Chrysanthemums were the main flower on exhibition. Mr. Gorly says the fine weather brought the buyers out and transient trade formed a large part of their business. Clarence Pedlow, of Indianapolis, Mrs. M. Stoflfey, of Chicago, and Paul A. Kohl, of St. Louis, were recently awarded scholarships at the Missouri Botanical Garden. One of the attractions along Broad- way is the window display of the Ries- sen Floral Co., which is featuring fancy cut blooms of yellow and white chrysanthemums. Mrs. Buechel says business is satisfactory and is picking up daily. Frank Windier, of the Windier Wholesale Floral Co., says that chry- santhemums sold well all through the week, but roses, carnations and orchids met with a poor demand. Fred H. Weber, at Boyle and Mary- land avenues, is showing some eiira fine blooming plants and cut stock. Business here is reported good in all lines. W. J.

Saturday, No- vember 7, the temperature Atood at 76 degrees, but by Sunday night it had dropped 40 degrees and about three and a half inches of snow fell. On the same day lAst year we had twelve inches of snow. This has caused all to be more hopeful for stock to shorten up and prices to go up. The bright, warm weather has caused most of the chrysanthemums to come in soft and their keeping qualities are not up to the usual standard. Olub Meeting. The Florists' Club held its meeting November 3, at the Fort Pitt hotel. Chrysanthemums were exhibited and discussed. Am6ng the exhibitors were John Costoflf, gardener for Hon. Wm.

President Neil McCallum then took the plant of Chrysanthemum Indicum and gave us one of his characteristic talks, with a history of the growth of the flower during the last 200 years. After an interesting talk by a visitor, whose name I have lost, on the influ- ence of electricity on the soil in the cultivation of plants and field crops, the meeting closed. Various Notes. The A. W. Smith Co. is this week celebrating its fortieth anniversary with an autumn floral display. Invi- tations have been sent out to all cus- tomers. The store is newly decorated in the new shade of French gray, which some call London smoke. They will exhibit one certain flower each day, beginning Monday with chrysan- themums, Tuesday roses, Wednesday orchids, showing the effect of the dif- ferent flowers for table decoration. On chrysanthemum day they showed a tea table decorated with Golden Wedding mums and a dinner X&h}f .^^omted with pompons and single fl;MjpiB.,,Bj:]L^li were beautiful, and the store, deco- rated with specimen vases of Wm.

Randolph & Mc- Clements have been making some splen- did displays of vases of mums and baskets of pompons and single varie- ties, with specimen plants of cibotium. The Zieger Co. finds that chrysan- themums and autumn leaves make at- tractive combinations in the large windows. G. P. Weaklen & Co. make a special- ty of the new shapes of baskets filled with pompons, and mixed baskets of small buds, daisies, etc., which seem to appeal to the general public. The Blind Floral Co., with a store on a corner, used large vases of chry- santhemums with ferns and palms in all the windows. The store was re- cently painted and presents a beautiful appearance. Mrs. E. A. Williams ran a yellow window all last week. Large chrysan- themums, pompons and single chrysan- themums, with some splendid specimen crotons and ferns, together with rib- bons, filled the windows. The effect was changed every day. The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. had a beautiful table decoration in the win- dow, arranged in a dining room effect, using chrysanthemums as the main flower. The Ludwig Floral Co. kept up its usual display of assorted flowers, de- pending more on a general effect of all it had to Ojffer than on any single 111116 of fl6wfh-8. Mrs. J. W.

Pittsburgh 'a public conservatories are again to the front with their splen- did shows of chrysanthemums, Lor- raine begonias, orchids and plants of all kinds. They are filled with a con- stant stream of visitors from morning till night and on Sundays it is neces- sary to have police to look after the line outside waiting their turn to pass through. Both at Schenley park, where John Jones is gardener, and at North Side park, where James Moore is gar- dener, there are splendid shows and these reflect great credit on Superin- tendent George Burke, who plans for them each year.

Thirty-third ajinual convention, San Frandsco, Oal.. 1815. The surplus of Dutch bulbs appears .to be principally of hyacinths. S. M. ISBEUi & Co., Jackson, Mich., have published a set of post cards show- ' ing operations on their seed farms. Leonard Sutton, of Sutton & Sons, has been chosen as mayor of Beading, where the firm's widely famous seed es- tablishment is located. Notice of the assignment of E. B. Hutchcraft, Sr., the Paris, Ky., seedsman, will be found in this issue under the head of Business Embarrassments. ISt the publicity artists get to work on the Brussels sprout. One of the best of vegetables, it is almost unknown to the great mass of the American people. There will be some surplus lists season, all right, but it looks as thou] most of them, at least at the start, will quote prices above the usual values. Eighty-two cases of kentia seeds on board the steamer Soestdyk, from Rotter- dam, which reached New York November 1, are the first to reach port of the con- signments which importers last week were informed were on their way. The outstanding feature of the seed situation in the Chicago section is the extremely poor bean crop. As a direct result of the poor harvest this season, prices on seed beans have been boosted to a point which has not been reached for a long time. A. H. HuMMERT, of the St. Louis Seed Co., says: "Business in our territory is normal. We have been having a good trade in bulbs this fall, both retail and wholesale. We have advertised in our local papers for the last three Sundays, which has helped us to clean up our sur- plus stock, .with the favorable weather conditions, and we are expecting a good trade on Christmas greens for the com- ing season." According to M. L. Germain, presi- dent, the Victor Johansen Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal., enjoys the distinction of being the only seed grower in the United States which makes a general line of flower seeds its exclusive industry. The business was founded at Arroyo Grande in 1898 by Victor Johansen, who entered the work with a splendid knowledge and experience gained in the culture centers of Europe. From the beginning it has been a unique organization through the active interest of all the members of the family, who have become experts in the work; and since the death of Mr. Johan- sen the foguing and selecting of 8to<*k seed have been done under the personal supervision of Mrs. Johansen and her thr« sons. ----.-- Braslan Wbalesalt Irtwert of tht faMawiai CsKisrwa katciahiat aily: ONION.

The end of the season for the im- portation of Holland bulbs is fast drawing to a close and the receipts are decreasing proportionately. The total number of cases received since last report numbered 146 and came on four steamers from Rotterdam, the Soestdyk and Nieuw Amsterdam, which reached New York November 1, and the Potsdam and Oosterdyk, which arrived November 4.

Their Legal Belationship. , The relationship between wholesale and retail dealers in seeds, as affecting the rights of a customer of the retailer to proceed against the wholesaler, and questions concerning warranties jn the sale of seed, as affected by trade cus- toms and one 's duty to read the terms on which goods are sold to him, were involved in the recent case of Eoss vs. Northrup, King & Co., 144 Northwest- ern Reporter 1124, in which the suit was dismissed by the Wisconsin Su- preme Court as presenting no cause of action against defendant, a wholesale dealer in seeds at Minneapolis. Plain- tiff ordered a quantity of Comstock Spanish tobacco seed through a local dealer in Wisconsin, a Mr. Morton, of Viroqua, and, claiming that, after planting, the seed proved to be of an inferior variety, brought suit against defendant on the theory of a breach of warranty of the quality of the seed. In dismissing the suit, the Supreme Court took the view that Mr. Morton must be regarded as plaintiff's agent, and not as a representative of defendant, and that, since Mr. Morton was charge- able with notice that defendant dis- claimed any warranty, the notice must be imputed to plaintiff so as to defeat any right to recovery. Judgment for $1,015 was accordingly reversed. Existence of Agency.

Defendant knew nothing of the plaintifl in the transaction. Plaintiff's rights against the defendant are no greater than Morton 's would be if he had been the real instead of the osten- sible principal. The Disclaimer Upheld. "Leaving any question of custom out of consideration, where a certain va- riety of seed is called for, and seed is furnished in response to such call, there is a warranty that it is true to descrip- tion, unless the seller advises the pur- chaser that the sale is made without warranty. ♦ ♦ « There is no doubt that the vender may sell without war- ranty. ' ' The proof showed that Mr. Morton ordered the particular seed from one of defendant's catalogues, which con- tained an express disclaimer of any warranty, as did the shipping tag which was attached to the shipment, and the invoice. On this state of facts the couri held that Mr. Morton, as agent for plaintiff, was chargeable with notice of the disclaimer clause, al- though he did not actually read it, and said on this point: "Mr. Morton could not close his eyes to the information that was literally staring him in the face, and then hold the defendant lia- ble because he did so. In matters of contract one must observe what he has reasonable means of knowing." It was further held that it was immaterial that the seed was received before the invoice which contained the disclaimer clause, since it was not claimed that any use was made of the seed in the meantime. Knowledge of Trade Custom. The jury found that there existed throughout the northwest a custom among seedsmen to refuse to warrant seeds, but that plaintiff did not know of it. It was not found whether Mr. Morton knew the custom or not, but the court said he was presumed to know of it, and added: "It is not the law that i|fnorance of a general trade custom ^elievey^a party from tho effect of it.

FROM A PHOTOGRAPH IF YOU WOULD "MAKE A HIT" with your customers, suggest the plant- ing of a bed or border of this, the grand- est of Bedding Tulips— do it now. Winterson's '%illiant Keizerskroon" When in bloom they will prove a 'wonderful advertisement for you. Besides, there's a good profit in selling the bulbs. A bed of this most beautiful of early Tulips, when in bloom, is certainly a dazzling sight. The combination of colors— brilliant Red and dazzling Gold— cannot be surpassed by any other variety. The flowers are of extra large size, with very strong stems, which protect: them against rain and wind storms ; furthermore, on accoiyit of their general strong character, they make a perfect showing for a longer time than any other variety. We have received from a specialist in Holland an exceptionally fine stock of this Tulip and o'ffer them at the low prices as below : Price, per 100, $1.35; per 1000, $18.60 260 at 1000 rate— speeial price quoted for quantity ** Brilliant Keizerskroon " is likewise excellent for forcing. that is Are you g^etting your share ol the VBulb Money' "goings thevounds" this year?

Meeting a claim made by plaintiff that def endarft had previously sent Mr. Morton a cabinet of garden seeds for sale on consignment, and that no dis- claimer was printed on these packages, the court said: "If there was a gen- «ral custom such as the jury found, it was immaterial whether there was a disclaimer on the packages or not, un- less the defendant knew that Morton was ignorant of such custom, and there is no claim that it had such knowledge. Non- Warranty Clause Is Fair. "Besides, if defendant saw fit to «ell its garden seeds with a warranty, that would be no particular reason why it should sell its field seeds in the same way. The damages recoverable for breach of warranty on the sale of small packages of garden seeds would ordinarily be inconsequential, while in the case of field seeds the reverse would be true. In the present case the pound of tobacco seed was sold to Morton for $2.25. The damages recovered were $1,015. It may seem unjust that the pur- chaser should suffer this loss. But it is apparent that, if seed houses war- ranted their seeds, they would have to sell at a very much higher price than if no warranty were given. If the defendant had sold 100 pounds of this seed instead of one pound, it would re- ceive therefor $225, and on the basis of plaintiff's recovery would be liable for over $100,000 damages. It purchased the seed in Virginia, and admittedly ordered the variety which the plaintiff desired. The evidence shows that there was no way in which the substitution could be discovered until the tobacco ]}lants were pretty well grown. Large Seed houses who draw their supply of seeds from different parts of this and perhaps other countries cannot well grow all the seeds they hftadlai They BULBS We have a good stock of the vari- eties most used by the Florists.

H. C. B. No, it will not pay to plant onion sets between tomatoes; the latter are rapid-growing plants and would soon shade the onions too much. Onions require a good water supply. The time needed to make a crop will deperfd on the time they are planted. If started early in January jrou will get a crop in eight to ten weeks. If you wait for sizable onions it will take longer, but I am supposing tha^ you . want bunch onions. * C. W. St. Joseph, Mo. — E. C.

Smith & Dieferich's'^ew store, at Xhsf corner of Seventh and Figu^roa ^Xre^ta. Leon Be Staute met with an accident that might have proved extremely seri- ous when walking home on the Whittier road recently. He was run over by an auto, but, on being taken to the Monte- bello hospital, was found to be only bruised and shaken up, no bones being broken. W. W. Felgate and Irving Ward, of Sierra Madre, were among the exhibit- ors at the Sierra Madre show l^st week, both showing fine groups of flowering plants. Mr. Felgate also exhibited an excellent collection of vegetables. J. Dieterich and W. W. Felgate were judges. , . Six carloads of nursery stock are due here this week for the joint buying of Howard & Smith, the Germain Seed & Plant Co. and E. Rust. Hervey M. Lindley^ the manager of the new store of Smith & Dieterich, will be married to Miss Alice Blust at the First Christian church of Los Angeles, November 19. Mr. and Mrs. Lindley will be at home to friends at 130 North Kingsley drive after December 30. Big consignments of chrysanthemums continue to arrive at the Murata estab- lishment, which is a busy place these days. Frank Nelson^ it is said, has sold his interest in the Washington Flower Shop. A big floral umbrella was prepared for Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Flo- im Co., and he found it on his desk on the morning of November 4, the day that L, A. kept "wet." Fortunately, Mr. Knopf takes all things good-na- turedly and does not fly off the handle at a little pleasantry. The monthly meeting of the Los An- geles County Horticultural Society, No- vember 3, was so poorly attended that adjournment was voted at 8:30. The election excitement in town was, no doubt, the cause of the poor attendance. The election of officers is due at the next meeting and a good attendance of members is earnestly desired. Big consignments of evergreens and other trees are expected shortly by the California Evergreen Co. Mr. RoUeri is showing the berried manzanilla, a beautiful, glossy-leaved evergreen that is not so well known here as in the north but is well worth increased atten- tion. Fred Sperry is handling the cut of several growers of carnations and mums and is well satisfied with business so far. The H. N. Gage Co. is pushing the nursery end of the business hard and the condition of the stock coming from Montebello leaves little to be desired. H. W. Turner's rose stock looks as if it might produce a big Thanksgiving and Christmas cut. Henry Bailey, of Montebello, has pur- chased a new automobile and is evi- dently quite at home in handling it. H. R. Richards. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business was comparatively quiet last week. Now, though the election is over and this state has "gone dry," prospects in the flower trade are none too lively. The fact that carnations are selling wholesale this week at a cent apiece is no great source of joy to the long-suffering flai'iBt...

Chrysanthemums, both large and small, are selling, but the prices are not so good as formerly. Pompons are meeting with good de- mand and are useful in many v?ays. More orchids are displayed just now than have been seen for a long time, and they are more popular than ever. Paper Whites are showing the com- mencement of the bulb season and are selling moderately well. Of pot plants, cyclamens and obconicas are now ar- riving in good shape. What little val- ley arrives is being used up quickly. Greens of all kinds are fairly abun- dant. Various Notes. Andrew Matthiesen has rented his greenhouses to the new firm of Buxton & Pedersen, who took possession the first of the month. These boys have had considerable experience in the greenhouse business. A. E. Buxton has recently been working for Van Slyke & Seamons, at Tacoma, He is not by any means a stranger in the district, as at one time he rented the Scott place, at Brighton. Lambert Pedersen, after varied experience in the east and in Europe, has for the last few years been associated with Joseph Stuber in the East Seattle Floral Co. It is con- fidently predicted that the new firm will make a success of the venture. At any rate, if pain»|^ing effort and good knowledge count, there is no doubt in the matter. There has been a change at the Eosaia greenhouses, at Thomas. E. Vittori, who has been in charge there for some years, has relinquished his in- terest in the business and gone to Cali- fornia. 6. Gakazzi has been placed in charge by Bosaia Bros. Jean Lamley's smiling face is once more visible in the store of Mrs. L. W. McCoy. He has been having a long va- cation, partly on account of his health, and during his rest he visited eastern points. If appearances are anything to go by, he has benefited by the rest and change. Palmero Bosaia became the happy father of another boy last week. This makes the seventh olive branch added to his family, so that indications point to Bosaia Bros.' perpetuity. Washington and Oregon went dry at the election just over, so that now we shall have to get our booze from our southern neighbor, California, in addi- tion to our other more or less desirable products. Jacob Sahli was visiting friends at Brighton last week. He reported busi- ness good and prospects fair at Kent. T. W. POETI.AND, OEE. The Market. A few days of cloudy weather tended to reduce the supply of carnations and mums to something more like normal. The demand has been affected by the interruption to social affairs due to the state and county election, as the women vote and take a greaJf interest in poli- tics. The varieties o£ mums now in their prime are Golden Eagle, Wm. Tur- ner, Bonnaffon and an assortment .of pompons. Several new seedling pom- pons have appeared which have taken well, as they are improvements over the parent ntgcks.

The supply of roses is about normal and their quality is excellent. The demand is fair. The varieties having the best sale are Double White Killarney, Richmond, Mrs. Qeo. Shawyer and Mrs. Aaron Ward. California violets are more abundantly shown. Orchids are appear- ing, with Gattleya labiata taking the lead. Cyclamens, Primula obconica and gloxinias are now rivaling the potted mums in popularity. Among the seedsmen business is more quiet, on account of the advanced sea- son. The nurserymen are busy lifting stock and filling early orders. When possible they are delaying the filling of orders for soft-wooded and deciduous plants until their foliage is cast. There is some complaint that the orders com- ing in are tor smaller quantities than usual. The Czar violets recently brought in- to the market did not prove good sellers. The beautiful long-stemmed giants from California, and the Baroness de Boths- child, locally grown, have attractions which proved superior to the short- stemmed, small-flowered Czar. The double violet, Marie Louise, is no longer grown, on account of its susceptibility to disease, so that the Lady Hume Campbell now has no rival. Various Notes. The city commissioner in charge of the public market has denied the re- quest of several wholesale growers of plants and cut flowers for stalls in the market; They are applying the rule that the public market is solely for the benefit of those who have no other way of selling their products. Tbe whole- sale growers are making an effort to have this rule reversed. R. A. Wallace, well known among the florists of Portland and San Francisco, has taken a position at 9. Lubliner's flower shop, in the Portland hotel block. This store furnished the decorations for the opening of the new National theater, which occurred last week.

THE THIRD EDITION Of the most successful book ever published for the trade The original Album of Designs was published in response to many requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when ready for use.

Dearborn St. U^^T] CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ■f. 100 The Florists' Review NorBMBSB 12, 191-1. B. E. Gaoe, of Peterson Nursery, Chi- cago, recently welcomed a second son into his family. The delay of winter and continued fine weather has been to the advantage of the nurserymen this fall, allowing a longer season for planting and an opportunity for greater sales. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Bussellville Nursery Co., at Portland, Ore. The capital stock is $25,- 000 and the incorporators are H. A., M. T, and D. A. Lewis. The last summer favored the produc- tion of high-class nursery stock of all kinds in the middle west, and the pros- perity of the farmers as a result of the ^ood crops should mean big business for the nurserymen in this section. The planting of a larger acreage and an increased line of stock lead the firm of Trainor & Desmond, of Sacramento, Cal., to look forward to a better year than ever. Citrus and deciduous trees particularly adapted to the region are the specialty of this firm. An annual output of 10,000 trees is the record of the Canadian government's free nursery at Indian Head, Saskatche- wan. Here's one reason why the growing country of western Canada, which holds 80 much for the farmers who are moving in, ofi'ers little to the ntirseryman. Southern nurserymen are welcoming the movement for diversified farming in their part of the country. Many a cot- ton field is expected to be turned into an orchard before many months, and where conditions are favorable the new crop should prove as profitable as the old was. DuniNO the last three weeks Nag-Ir-Roc Farm, the estate of James Corrigan at Wickliffe, O., has received five carloads of nursery stock, mostly from Long Island. E. A. Bause, the superintendent, says that eventually all of the 250 acres will be beautified and that at present the farm is the heaviest buyer of its class anywhere in America. J. H. H. Boyd has resigned from the presidency and management of the Forest Nursery & Seed Co., at McMinnville, Tenn., and offered his stock for sale. He will in future give assistance to Farest Phifer, one of his former employees, who is starting the Riverview Nursery & Seed Co. Mr. Boyd intends to spend a good part of his time in the mountains collect- ing evergreens. PETERSON IN BIG DEAL. One of the largest transactions in acre property that ever has been re- corded in Chicago was consummated this week between William A. Peter- son, proprietor of Peterson Nursery, and W. F. Kaiser & Co., real estate operators. In a trust deed to the State Bank of Chicago Mr. Peterson con- veyed seventy-eight acres at the inter- section of Lincoln and Peterson ave- nues. The consideration is not stated, but is believed to be in excess of $160,000. The purchasers have ar- ranged for $100,000 to be expended in the improvement of the property, after which it will be put on the market as building lots. This is the second piece of the orig- inal Peterson property to go on the market. As in the first instance, the land adjoins, but is not a part of Peterson Nursery. It never has been used for nursery purposes. There re- mains in the Peterson tract 275 acres for nursery and other uses. ' TO CLOSE UP PHOENIX AFFAIBS. As the result of a hearing before Judge C. D. Myers, of the Circuit court, at Bloomington, 111., October 30, on a petition to close up the affairs of the Phoenix Nursery Co. within sixty days, it was decided by the court that the remaining stock should be disposed of and the land sold, so that the business might be wound up by March 1, 1915. The longer time allowed will permit the receiver, John Y. Chisholm, to get as good a price as possible for the stock on hand. It appears that the expenses have been large during the last year and the interest, amounting to $3,000 yearly, has been piling up, and the local banks who have an inter- est in the case are anxious that mat- ters be settled as soon as possible, so that their losses will be no • greater. There are eighty acres of land, valued at all the way from t250 to $600 per acre, and the disposal of this is the most important object remaining. The land will probably be offered on the open market and sold to the highest bidder. UNDERVALUATION OF SHIPMENTS. The liability of a seller of nursery stock at wholesale for loss of part of a carload shipment in transit was involved in the case of Southern Nursery Co. vs. Winfield Nursery Co., 132 Pacific Re- porter 149, which was before the Kansas Supreme Court. Plaintiff, doing busi- ness at Winchester, Tenn., shipped a carload of nursery stock to defendant, at Winfield, Kan., and the latter de- fended suit which was brought by plain- tiff to recover an unpaid part of the contract price on the ground that the railway company to which plaintiff de- livered the trees was the agent of plain- tiff, and not of defendant, with the re- sult that title to the shipment did not pass to defendant on delivery of the stock to the carrier, and defendant had the right to refuse to accept the trees, which had become unmerchantable in transit. This defense was overruled, -however, and plaintiff was aTwarded judgment on the theory that title passed to the defendant at the time the ship- ment was made, exonerating plaintiff from any liability for injury to the freight in transit, as it was found that the shipment was properly prepared for transportation. Defendant also sought to hold plain- tiff responsible because, in shipping the trees, plaintiff, in order to obtain a lower freight rate under a classification permitting it, agreed to release the valu- ation of the freight to 3 cents a pound, thus restricting the railway company's liability to $480, whereas the actual value of the shipment was $1,784. On this point the Kansas Supreme Court said: "It is the custom, understood and agreed upon by nurserymen, for all shipments of nursery stock to be made under a valuation of 3 cents a pound, for the purpose of saving freight charges, unless positive instructions be given to the contrary. No such instruc- tions having been given to the plaintiff, the goods were billed out according to the custom. • • * The defendant claims that a contract to ship at a gross undervaluation to procure the benefit of a lower freight rate, although under a classification permitting it, is contrary to law and public policy, and conse- quently that a custom among nursery- Headquarters for Mmia Pilvet Hedsing Fully half a million plants for sale. 2-year 3 to 4 feet 3-year 3 to 4 feet 3-year 4to5 feet For screens 6 to 6 feet For screens 6to7 feet 1-year 12 to 18 inches 1-year l^a to 2 feet 2-year 1^2 to 2 feet 2-year 2 to 2^ feet 2-year 2 to 3 feet 2-year ; 21^ to 3 feet All well branched, bright and clean.

The court concludes that a seller of trees is authorized, on delivering them to a carrier as the buyer's agent, to ship in the usual way and according to the custom above mentioned, and that the carrier in this case did not become plaintifif's agent to make delivery to de- fendant, merely because the liability preserved against the railway company was not sufficient to meet the loss sus- tained. S. STOCK FBOM BOTTEBDAM. Less than last week's imports, but not far below the weekly thousand cases, the receipts of nursery stock from the port of Rotterdam for the last week practically maintains the high average of the last month.

As far as aggregate sales are con- cerned, last week's market showed no improvement. The demand for stock ■v^as fairly active, but prices were so low that, it took a large number of sales to run into any money. The supply con- tinqe^.far too large for immediate needs. Owing to the fact that the bulk of the call for flowers is leaning toward chrysanthemums, the rose market is poor. Good stock of all kinds may be had iui quantities. The chrysanthemum market is overloaded with small stock. The number of choice blooms coming in is limited, but suflSoes f«T present needs. The lily cut has let down. Quite a num- ber of rubrums offered in the last few days met with an indiifferent sale. Val- ley and orchids enjoy a fair but not a steady call. New York double violets are now in the market. Carnations are plentiful and good. Various Notes. The regular meeting of the Florists' Society was held November 9 at Hotel Gibson. - J. A. Peterson showed a plant of the new begonia, Mrs. Peterson. Gua Adrian, Max Rudolph, R. Witterstaetter, Henry Schwarz and Chas. H. Hoffmeister were appointed to work out an equitable method of valuation of plants for taxa- tion purposes and to report at the next meeting.

Witterstaetter, Henry Schwarz, Ray Mti'fphy, Otto Hirschf eld, J. T. Conger, Miss Mae' Carroll and Albert Sunder- bruch. Air were, enthusiastic about the show. Mr, Sunderbruch, commenting upon it, laid that one of its commenda- ble features was the artistic displays of the different retail florists, and that this feature : verifies the oft repeated statement that to make any show a suc- cess you must have the cooperation of the retailers. "WfiJv Murphy has been quite ill, but, his many friends will be pleased to know, is improving steadily. C. E. Critchell was the first in the raarljet to offer New York double violets tliis season. Geo. Klotter, of Price Hill, has been sending some fine Perrin, Bonnaffon and White Bonnaffon to L. H. Kytk. The list of visitors includes: J. H. Btoixey, Lflyton; Chas. L. Baum, Knox- ville, Tenn.

By 5 0 'clock in the evening of All Saints' day nearly every flower grown or bought for the occasion had been disposed of. Although chrysanthemums predominated and were used mostly in loose bunches, set pieces of various de- signs were noticeable. The prices paid for chrysanthemums ranged from $1 to $8 per dozen, retail. Ideal weather dur- ing the whole of All Saints' day week and on the day itself helped consider- ably to dispose of the stock on hand. Qreat quantities of winter-flowering sweet peas have been planted both by wholesalers and retailers, and, judging from their present condition, a fine Christmas crop is assured. Nearly every grower is using some part of a greenhouse, coldframe, or open space for the cultivation of Asparagus plu- mosus, which in this locality, as well as elsewhere, is now indispensable for all kinds of flower work. The greater part of it has heretofore been shipped to this city from Florida, but in a short time the buying of this valjjable green will be reduced to a joaiiiijttttm at this seasen. Tbe «6ld wave at the end of October, which reached as far as north- em Florida, was not severe enough in New Orleans to kill tender bedding and flowering plants, and since then the night temperature has reached as high as 65 degrees. Outdoor-grown poin- settias are covered with fine flowering bracts, showing color, and, barring an early frost, they will be in bloom before Christmas. Various Notes. M. J.

Superior StrMt CHICAQO M«Btlon Th» R«Tlew whew Ton write. Greenhouse Heating. PIPINO A NEW JERSEY HOUSE. I am building a greenhouse, 20x50 and nine feet high to the ridge. The sides stand on a 10-inch concrete foun- dation; above this is a wall of %-inch grooved boards, covered with building paper; this, again, is covered with feather-edge weather boards. Above this is a 2x4 sill, and then two feet of glass to the eave plate, making the sides six feet high from the ground, inside the building. The ends are built the same way up to the 2x4 sill; above that the ends are all glass. The building stands. on nearly level ground. I wish to heat it to 60 degrees in zero weather. How many runs of 2-inch pipe will be needed to be sure to keep the temperature up to that point? I have a new Lord & Burnham boiler, which will be located in a cellar under a shop and potting shed. The cellar is about nine feet deep and fifty feet distant from the greenhouse. A hot water system will be used. I wish to use 3-inch pipe for the main, carrying it overhead outside to the greenhouse and returning it underground to the boiler. G. E. S. About 450 square feet of radiation will be required to heat the house de- scribed to 60 degrees. For main flow and return pipes, between the green- house and the boiler, 3-inch will be the correct size. Within the house I would use three 2iX.-inch flow pipes, placing one on each wall plate and the other eighteen to twenty inches below the ridge. Although nine 2-inch returns would heat the house, it will be found more economical of fuel if ten are used. Three should be on each wall; the other four, supplied by the main under the ridge, should be under the middle benches. Connect the expansion tank with the main supply pipe near where it enters the greenhouse. The flow pipes should have a slight fall toward the boiler. This will do away with the necessity for ua^pg air Talves. If a generator is attached to the supply pipe, the STYLK I 6>lnch Send for Circular What $5 Will Do On a certain February 11. B. L.

STEAM FOB THSEE HOUSES. Enclosed you will find a sketch of our range, which we intend soon to pipe for steam. "We built one house last year — the center house, 30x100, which we heated with hot water, and we are now building two additional houses, one of them 40x100 and the other 20x70, with the boiler room and Workshop at the end of the short house. We have decided to change the heating system from hot water to steam, as we experienced considerable trouble in heating the one house with hot water. Please tell us what piping will be re- quired for steam, to heat these houses to a temperature of 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 10 degrees below zero. Please state, also, what kind of trap you would recommend for forcing the condensation back, as you will note that the bottom of the bpiler la t^o feet above the floor of the greenhouses. We should like to use nothing but 2-inch pipe for the coils and a 5-inch pipe from the boiler to the greenhouses. Our location is in western Ohio. H. J. V. & S. For heating the house 40x100 with steam to 60 degrees, if there is no more than four feet of glass in each wall, I would advise the use of a 3-inch over- head flow pipe and fourteen 2-inch re- turns. Two of the returns may be in each walk and the others on the walls, or all of them may be on the walls. In the house 30x100 the flow may be 2%-inch and ten 2-inch returns should be used. For the house 20x70 a 2-inch flow and seven 2-inch returns are sug- gested. This boil«r Is guarantssd to do tho work and costs loss to Install and oporato. Writo for pricos and rocommsndatlons.

ABOVE BIRD'S-EYE VIEW REPRESENTS THE ENLARGED DETROIT NICOTINE CO.'S PLANT FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF TO-BAK-INB PRODUCTS. The demand for To-Bak-Ine became so large that the output could not keep pace and during the summer of 1913 the size and capacity of the factory has been doubled. All orders can now be taken care of promptly. The use of tobacco' stems and tobacco dust as an insecticide is well known; also the fact that the burning of them is frequently dangerous to greenhouse plants, due to the presence of ammonia, while they often have little or no effect on the insects, owing to the great variation of the Mcotlne strength, sometimes containing practically none. Therefore it is im- possible for the florist to secure satisfactory results unless he uses standardized products containing a definite amount of Nicotine. This quality is found in To-Bak*lne Products. The sales of To-Bak-Ine Products now are double those of previous years; we do not know how there could be a stronger testimonial to their merit. TO-BAK-INE LIQUID IB a concentrated solution of refined Nicotine, always containing a definite amount (45% nicotine), adjusted by chemical assay, making it a most efficient insecticide for spraying or vaporizing. Free from ammonia and tobacco odor, makes it especially desirable for use on greenhouse plants and vegetables for killing insect pests and leaving no after odor or taste. To-Bak-Inb liquid is without doubt the cheapest insecticide on the market for spraying; Its cost is nominal considering the value received and results obtained. No labor is required making up solution. Put up in %-pint, »4-pint. %-pint, pint, %-galloii, gallon and 5-gallon cans. Special 10 and 20-galloD casks for large users.

Most persons believe eight pounds make a gallon— but one gallon of To-Bak-Ine Liquid, containing 45% Nicotine, weighs about 8% pounds and contains about 27,500 grains Nicotine.

TO-BAK-INE- FtllCATING rhttli * nwAnK OBM ••OCT moomacDi FUMIGATING PAPER is an especially prepared paper, each sheet being saturated with a definite amount of pure nicotine, making it a most valuable and extremely convenient and neat insecti- cide for fumigating purposes; it is also free from ammonia, which is present in ordinary tobacco smoke and extracts.

TO-BAK-INE FUMIGATING AND DUSTING POWDER In some cases a slow and long fumiga- tion is desirable, and therefore offer to the trade a fumigating powder for this pur- pose. This powder is unlike others on the market in that it is practically free from sand, therefore uniform in insect killing properties. Many of the powders offered are nothing more than tobacco dust, con- taining a large percentage of sand and practically no Nicotine, or very little. To-Bak-Inb fdhiqatino and ddstimo POWDER is also a finely powdered product and especially adapted for dusting or sprinkling on flowers, plants and vegetables. Put up in 50 and lUU-lb. bags.

Stock of all kinds is plentiful and of good quality, but prices are so low that the grower is losing money on every dollar's worth brought to market. Added to this is the fact that every market gardener with a greenhouse is growing flowers and is offering them below the market price. Mums espe- cially are being grown by this class of gardeners. Roses, owing to the bright, warm weather, are plentiful and of good quality. Various Notes. Jacob Schulz scored a big success with the chrysanthemum show at the store, at 550 South Fourth avenue. Three days were devoted to the event, November 5 to 7. Mr. Schulz issued a neat little pamphlet, "The Story of the Chrysanthemum," in which a his- tory of the chrysanthemum was given. A Victrola entertained the visitors as they passed through the store. Fred Haupt reports continued suc- cess with his Saturday special, carna- tions at 25 cents per dozen. Mr. Haupt started the sale some time ago in order to fight the local department stores, and he succeeded in putting a stop to the sale of these flowers in the various stores. Mr. Haupt says that his sales for Saturday average 8,000 per day. This proves to be a larger item when it is considered that these flowers are sold to individuals and not delivered. At the last monthly meeting of the Florists' Society, November 3, the nom- ination of officers was slated, but owing to the small attendance, the nomina- tions were postponed until the next meeting, which will take place Decem- ber 2. A full attendance is urged. George Schulz, of Goss avenue, has his houses in fine shape for the winter. He says that he has plenty of stock and ail he wants now is plenty of customers. R. J. S.

TJhe number of small social functions last week combined with the funeral orders in creating a slight improve- ment in demand. The large supply of roses and other stock, however, has had the tendency of keeping prices down to a low figure and the early chrysanthemums are not receiving the financial support that is usually ac- corded them. Wifh the appearance of the larger blooms, however, it is ex- pected that there will be a stiffening to a satisfactory price. Various Notes.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. Weather conditions have been some- what contrary to the interest of the florists, as it has been warm and one of the latest fall seasons ever known in this section of the country. Outdoor flowers have been plentiful and cheap, thereby taking away much of the florists' trade, with the exception of flowers furnished for weddings, funerals and special occasions. However, taking everything into consideration, the flo- rists have little cause for complaint. Stock of all kinds is plentiful and good; in fact, chrysanthemums are better than ever before, and carnations are above the average, although roses are nothing to boast of. November 7 was observed as Chrysan- themum day by all cemeteries in and about Knoxville. This day was set aside and advertised by the Florists' Club. The sales were good, although not so much as they might have been, as the farmers and gardeners took ad- vantage of the occasion and stocked the market with a lot of cheap flowers. We are satisfied that Chrysanthemum day will eventually be a great day for the florists in this city. All advertising was of a cooperative character, the object being to advertise the day and not any particular florist. This mode of adver- tising has been used several times and always brings the best results. Various Notes. The store force at Chas. L. Baum's has been busy of late. Weddings and funerals have them on the go all the time. Chrysanthemums are fine and he has been realizing as high as $1 a bloom for a few of the best. Addison J. McNutt reports business good. As his place is located in the City Market house, he did a fine business Chrysanthemum day. A. H. Dailey is a busy man. By the time he looks after the store, the stall in the market house, the wagon on the market and his greenhouses, he has lit- tle leisure. Mrs. Eosa Hall Kyno, whose place of business is located in the suburbs, at New Gray cemetery, reports business as bein^ good. She had a splendid trade Chrysanthemum day. Crouch's are having plenty to do iif the way, of wedding and reception work, with the usual run erf funeral --work. E. E. M.

Stock of all kinds has been plentiful, without any unusual demand except for Novem- ber 7, when large quantities of chrysan- themums were shipped to Ann Arbor for the annual Michigan-Pennsylvania football game. . Various Notes. The Doswell Floral Co., at the en- trance to Lindenwood cemetery, started with a small house of plants and grad- ually has increased until now there is a large range growing all kinds of stock for cutting. The chrysanthemums this season are of exceptional quality. There is a good cut of carnations, with excel- lent prospects, and pot plants are com- ing along nicely for holiday trade. Two new houses are in course of erection, to be used for more roses. Fort Wayne recently had a fare re- fund week and all the florists made spe- cial efforts to attract out-of-town pur- chasers through window displays. Announcement was made here last week of the engagement of Judge W. J. Vesey and Miss Cieo Freeling, a wealthy young woman of St. Louis. Judge Vesey met his fiancee, who is a concert singer, in Milan, Italy. W. .T. Vesey, Jr., and Mrs. Vesey at- tended the C. S. A. meeting at Indian- apolis last week. R. R. F. Brookings, S.

It brings the cost down for you and means quicker erection on the job. One radical departure in our Reconstructed Construction is the complete as- sembling and hot riveting together of the rafter from the ridge to the column in connection with the main members and strut of the double angle iron truss. To splice this assembled rafter and truss together at the ridge we use an angle Splice Plate and bolts. The 12 feet 4*inches span of the ridge between the rafters is so long HiicKitififs ■EW TIK imCE 1171 ttntmn that if not stiffened it would have a tendency to sag. To prevent this, we run a light steel rod truss from rafter to rafter with a strut in the center. Now take particular notice of the extra wide ridge cap overhang, and how it is milled out to take the sash, making a weather tight cap that is weather tight. Notice, also, the notch that is milled on the sash to prevent the wind forcing the water between the sash and cap. In the next Ad. we will tell still more about the ridge, and further about the rafter truss. BENEUL OFHCES MO FACTOIT. aiUICTN. I. J. lOSTON omcE MFrtiralSt. ' nnuiaraM imcE « ti.

The Florists' Review 123 The Question of Shade in Ridge and Furrow Houses ALONG the middle of last August, when in Pittsburgh, I took the trolley one fine morning out to Bakerstown, to visit again the range of the Pittsburgh Cut FlQwer Co. Was fortunate in finding Mr. Burki at his office. In his characteristic direct way, all formalities were soon out of the way and he was talking greenhouse facts and figures. . Most of his eight acres of glass are separate houses, but he has two blocks of connected ridge and furrow ones. In 1911 wc sold him 10 each 12' 0" wide and 100' long. Last year, however, he bought another of our separate houses 41' 4" X 583' 4" and this brings us to the main point of this Ad. — the shade in con- nected houses. In passing through some of these houses, the benches of which had just been white- washed ready for new soil, Mr. Burki called my attention to the difference in the shadow cast by the sun on the benches by the gutter, and by the ridge. The ridge shadow measured three inches This sketch shows the shade cast by the ridge J.nd the gutter In a con- In width, and the gut- nected, or ridge and furrow house, at noon on the shortest December day. The ters 7% Inches, or single wide house the same width as the two connected ones takes no more roof more than twice as than the two narrow ones and you do away entirely with the gutter and the ^"y when and where much. one extra rldge. nnd we'll be there. When you consider that this was at one o'clock on a day in the middle of August, when the sun was high and cast- ing the shortest shadow, the thought of what that shadow Is, during the short days of December, when the sun hangs low, is certainly such as to make a man sit up and take notice. Not only will the shade be much broader but in combi- nation with the ridge the shadow is practically continuous, as shown by this line drawing. Mr. Burki declares that he wants no more connected houses. Such a statement coming from a man standing so high in the busi- ness and based on ac- tual comparative re- sults carries with it convincement. In addition to the shade side of this dis- cussion there are also the questions of heat- ing economy and im- proved ventilating con- ditions that unques tionably exist in the large single houses, both of which we would like to discuss with you.

The Florists' Review "TANK GRADE" CYPRESS m No other lumber manufactured is subjected to such close inspection and is graded so carefully as Cypress. It is the only variety of wood in which there is such a class as "TANK GRADE." Other woods have Firsts and Seconds, but "TANK GRADE" Cypress represents a choice, handpicked, selected quality— the very cream of Firsts. For greenhouse construction, those who are accounted reliable among the contractors use none other than "TANK GRADE." Of course they put in "pecky" for standards and benches, but when it comes to sash-bars, sash, hotbeds, cold frames, tanks, tubs, plant boxes, etc., it is Cypress, "TANK GRADE," from ridge-pole to foundation. And you will do well to follow the lead and advice of the experienced contractor. BOOKS STILL FREE Those Cypress booklets are as free as ever. Volume 3 is about Greenhouses; Vol. 4 is the Barn Book, with plans and specifications; Vol. 36 is the book on Home Carpentry; Vol. 37 is the big, new Silo Book. These are es- pecially attractive booklets. Get them. Write for one or a dozen of them. SOUTHERN CYPRESS MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION 1230 HIBERNIA BANK BLDG. NEW ORLEANS. LA.

Hummel & Downing Co., Milwaukee, Wis. •V f*' Tf^JfimT^'i^ "W-' -^r^-"- r; i'i>,'i',i»vf'.i'.mbine to Make Berberis Thunbergi}, la its Native Form, One of the Best of Hedges. locust, is good as a defensive hedge. Rhamnus cathartica, buckthorn, is good where a tall, strong hedge is desired. Philadelphus Lemoinei, the new French hybrid, is more moderate growing than the old P. coronarius and makes a splendid natural hedge, flowering pro- fusely while small. These do not at all exhaust the best of desirable hedge plants of a deciduous character. Various spiraeas, viburnums, carpinus, stephanandras and others are available, but I have already named more varieties than the average florist will care to know anything about. Fewer Evergreens. Coming to evergreens, we find the list a much more restricted one. Prob- ably the variety most in use is Thuya occidentalis, American arborsMtee. This makes a neat hedge, is hardy, with- stands dry conditions well and is a quick grower. Objections to its use are that it turns a brownish color in winter, and no matter how well headed in it may be, it is thrown out of shape to some degree by heavy snows. It is the most inexpensive of eversrreen hedges. A hedge can be profitably planted with 24-inch to 30-inch plants, ei^teen inches apart, at $1 per yard. Pioea excelsa, Norway spruce, makes a splendid thick hedge, one which can be closely cropped annually, T have seen hedges of this spruce in New Eng- land ten feet high and as much across. Which are perfect pictures, grand wind- breaks and aflFord shelter and nesting places far hundreds of birds. Set the Norway spruces twentv-four to thirtv- MX inches apart, according to size. Tsuga Qanadensis, or hemlock, when placed in a suitable position, one not too dry or windswept, makes easily the finest of all evergreen hedges, coming the nearest to the English yew of any of our North American evergreens. It suffers from dryness at the root more than other evergreens, but when it is given sufficient moisture, we have no evergreen equal to it. It lasts longer than Norway spruce or arborvitae, and hedges set out with 36-inch plants three feet apart should be worth $2 per yard. A few other available hedge plants are: Buxus sempervirens, boxwood; useful as a bordering for flower beds, etc. Juniperus Virginica, common red cedar; I have seen excellent hedges made of this plant. Retinospora plumosa, Japanese cypress; this and its golden sport, aurea, make neat hedges. Euony- mus Japonicus and E. Sieboldianus; these have handsome, dark green, shiny leaves, are erect in habit and make splendid hedges. Taxus cuspidata brevi- folia, yew, and Taxus baccata, English yew; the last named succeeds moder- ately well near Philadelphia and at points south, but is not hardy farther north. Preparation of Ground. To make a success of hedges, the ground should be prepared in advance and turned over to a d»)th of two feet, deeper if possible, and^tWft. or three feet wide. Incorporate Isome thor- oughly decayed manure with the soil. Be sure not to use anv fresh manure. If planting cannot be done until spring, it is a great help to prepare the ground in the fall. Generally speak- ing, evergreens succeed better if planted in spring than in fall, but most decidu- ous plants do as well or better if planted in the fall, provided the work is not done too late and care is taken to firm the roots thoroughly. In the case of evergreens, it is especially nec- essary to keep the roots moist, not only at planting time, but through the season. Dryness at the root is account- able for more dead evergreens than winter's cold. Therefore, in the fall, when there is any likelihood of ever- greens having dry roots, soak them thoroughly before the ground becomes sealed by frost. Hedge planting is a branch more flo- rists should add to their business. There is room for many times the number now planted. The opportunities are excel- lent; the profits are good; the work comes at a time when other lines are dull. One or two plantings carefully done will serve as a good advertise- ment. "Why not make a start now! Anderson, Ind,— Stuart & Haugh gave their twenty-fifth annual free flower show November 12 to 14. It was a huge success from the standpoints of beauty and attendance. The houses were thronged with visitors, who warm- ly complimented the firm on the extent and quality of the exhibit and were unanimously of the opinion that it sur- passed any of the former shows. Vis- iting florists especially praise the carna- tions and ferns. Stuart & Haugh re port business good and that Anderson is in a prosperous condition. 14 The Florists^ Review NOVRMBEB 10, 1014. NOTES OF THE AUTUMN SHOWS QUALITY THE KEYNOTE OF THE SHOWS THIS YEAR HOUSTON, TEX. First Annual State Show. ' The first state show ever undertaken by the florists of Texas proved to be as successful as if they had had a long experience in the promotion of flower exhibitions. Thursday, Novem- ber 12, was the opening day, although the opening ceremonies in connection with the No-Tsu-Oh festival did not take place until the following day. The large crowds which had come to Houston to celebrate the week's fes- tivities undoubtedly added to the suc- cess of the show in the matter of attendance. But the large number and high quality of the trade's exhibits, competitive and display, were the re- sult of hard work by the florists who had the affair in charge. So successful were the three days for which the show was scheduled that it was decided to continue it for two days longer. The slogan of the Texas State Flo- rists' Association, "Texas-grown Flow- ers for Texas People," was that of the show as well, and in order to acquaint the people of Texas more par- ticularly with the products of the growers of their own state, induce- ments for growers in that territory were strong. Those from outside the state were well taken care of, also, and a large number of non-competitive ex- hibits were shown which had come from a distance. Chrysanthemums were, of course, the principal constituent of the exhibits, although roses were well and largely shown. Plants, particularly decorative stock, were in large numbers. Profiting by the experience of other shows, which have shown that the retailer is a strong factor in interesting the pub- lic, the management included a number of classes for retailers' work, which drew the expected attention and ad- miration. The Awards. Probably the most interesting part of the show to the visitors was the retailers' work and there was a great deal of this, of first-class quality. The leaders in this were Robert C. Kerr and H. H. Kuhlmann, of Houston, while Gus Radetzki, of the Forestdale Flower Shop, Houston, and T. J. Wolfe, of Waco, took several prizes, and the Brown-Dawson Co., of Dallas, furnished some good work. The decorations were for mantels, tables and altars, and the bouquets and baskets were of every kind. In the cut flower classes, T. J. Wolfe was by far the leader. H. H. Kuhl- mann took a large number of prizes, also, and Bird Forrest, of Waxahachie, cut into the awards. Chrysanthemums, carnations and roses were shown. The plant classes did not have many entries. John Mickelsen, gardener for Miss Harriet Levy, of Houston, had several prize-winning displays of foliage plants and pot mums. H. H. Kuhlmann, R. C. Kerr, the Forestdale Flower Shop and Bird Forrest also figured on the list of awards. The sweepstakes cup for the local exhibitor capturing the most prizes went to H. H. Kuhlmann. The sweep- stakes cup for the Texas exhibitor not less than 100 miles from Houston tak- ing the most prizes was won by T. J. Wolfe. Non-Competitive Displays. Many florists, from inside and out- side the state, who made no entries in the premium classes put up displays for exhibition purposes which added greatly to the effectiveness of the show. Baker Bros., of Fort Worth, exhibited excellent chrysanthemum pot plants, as well as some cut blooms. The Green Floral Co., of Dallas, showed geraniums and cut flowers of various kinds. Stevens & Stevens, Mrs. J. W. Car- lisle and Mrs. W. C. Steele, all of Alvin, combined to send an exhibit of cut flowers, flowering plants and fruit trees. Griffing Bros. Co., of Port Ar- thur, had a display of nursery stock in charge of Henk Dirken, of Houston, in which were palms, evergreens and small citrus fruit trees. E. E. Stone, of Dickinson, made an exhibit, mainly of foliage plants. H. J. Condren, also of Dickinson, had a display of amaryl- lis bulbs. O. H. Hannah &- Son, of Sherman, and Bird Forrest, of Waxa- hachie, also put up exhibits, "f. .J. Wolfe, of Waco, had a non-competitive display in addition to his many prize- winning entries. Most of the Houston florists showed their wares, in addition to making a strong appearance in the competitive classes. Among the most prominent were the displays of R. C. Kerr and H. H. Kuhlmann. John Mickelsen, gar- dener for Miss Harriet Levy, showed some good decorative stock. C. L. Brock, city superintendent of parks, had on exhibition a model of George Hermann park as it will appear when completed. From Outside the State. Of points outside the state Chicago was in all probability the best repre- sented. The A. L. Randall Co. sent some excellent roses and other cut flowers, and had a good supplies ex- hibit. Poehlmann Bros. Co. and Peter Reinberg had fine displays of cut flow- ers, and Vaughan's Seed Store was also represented. From Madison, N. J., came an exhibit of Chas. H. Totty's chrysanthemum novelties. Elmer I). Smith & Co., of Adrian, Mich., had a display of the same flower. The Pikes Peak Floral Co., of Denver, Colo.; the Stuppy Floral Co., of St. Joseph, Mo.; C. H. Frey, of Lincoln, Neb.; J. F. Wilcox & Sons, of Council Bluffs, la., and Fur- row & Co., of Guthrie, Okla., were others who sent noteworthy exhibits of cut flowers of various kinds.

Full mention, how- ever, should be ■ made of the services of a number of others, without whose assistance the success would not have been so great as it was. On the flower show committee with Mr. Wolfe were Henry Greve, of Dallas; T. J. Stubble- field, of Fort Worth; E. D. Hall, of Austin; W. Suchy, of San Antonio, and E. E. Stone, of Dickinson. The Hous- ton committee from the state organ- ization comprised Geo. M. Cosh, chair- man; C. T. Brock, I. M. Johnson and S. J. Mitchell. The committee from the Houston Florists' Club included H. H. Kuhlmann, H. Blicker, I. M. Johnson and John J. Boyle. NEW EOCHELLE, N. Y. The annual fall exhibition of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural Society was held at Germania hall No- vember 4 to 6. The combination of fair weather and a large attendance helped materially to make the show a success. A noteworthy feature was the excel- lent trade exhibits. The Geo. E. Bald- win Co., of Mamaroneck, N. Y., staged a splendid exhibit of orchid plants in bloom, including many rare varieties, which was awarded a certificate of merit. Two especially fine specimen plants of Cattleya labiata were each awarded a cultural certificate. Scott Bros., of Elmsford, N. Y., had an extensive display of chrysanthe- mums. Several novelties were noted in this collection, which was awarded a certificate of merit. An exhibit of this firm's new Nephrolepis Elmsfordii gained a cultural certificate. A vase of Matchless carnations won for this firm first prize for fifty any variety. A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, ^onn., staged a fine display of mums, consisting largely of singles and pom- pons, which was awarded a certificate of merit. The pompon novelties of this firm attracted much attention. MacMillen & Co., of Greenwich, Conn., received a certificate of merit for their exhibit of foliage plants, cut flowers and chrysanthemums in pots. The judges were James Bell, of New York city; Wm. Turner, of Oceanic, N. J.; Samuel Bachelor, of Mamaroneck, N. Y.; N. Butterback, of New Eochelle; W. H. Waite, of Yonkers, N. Y., and Donald Sheppard, of New Rochelle. Among the gardeners who contested for prizes in the ninety-fom''^cIa8ses, the following were the most successful: W. J. Sealey, Ewen MacKenzie, A. L. Mar- shall, Jas. Linane, Wm. Whitton, H. Lyons, Adam Patterson, Thos. Aitehi- son, A. Bieschke,-- A. Wynne, Thos. Ryan, C. Hankenson, P. W. Popp, H. Lehman, Benj. Disley, J. T. Burns, Jas. Stuart, Wm. Graham, W. H. Maginnis, Robt. Grunnert, Martin Glendon, J. P. Sorenson, Jos. Tiernan, Henry Gaut, Robt, Williamson, Owen Hunwick, E. Lewis and W. R. Pitt. In the class for table decorations by ladies only, Mrs. Ewen MacKenzie took first prize, Miss B. Scott second, and Miss Helena Floerke third. The basket of flowers arranged for effect by Miss B._ Scott, of Elmsford, which won first prize in its class, was undoubtedly the finest and best arranged basket ever exhibited at any of the society's exhibi- tions, and gained for this young lady a fine cut-glass punch bowl.

The twentieth annual exhibition of the Dutchess County Horticultural So- ciety proved to be one of the best shows the society has had, although not financially successful. Among the com- mercial growers who took prizes were the Saltford Flower Shop, which had a fine group of foliage and flowering Slants; Valentin Burgevin's Sons, of Kingston, who made their showing in roses and carnations; B. Willig, who was strong in the carnation classes; N. H. Cottam, of Wappingers Falls, whose prizes were for retailers' work, and W. Feierabend, who showed some good violets.

Miss. Kecently Mrs. Hilzem has had many orders for cotton bouquets, colo- nial and corsage. The bouquet shown on page 15 was sent as a souvenir to the E. C. Amling Co., Chicago. It is made of cotton bolls in various stages of maturityj-tied with cotton tape. Asparagus and magnolia leaves were the only components of the bouquet, aside from the foil used to wrap the stems, which did not come from the cotton plant. The cotton used in the bouquet is known as long staple, and came from one of the plantations of Yazoo county. Awarded the Hitchings Cup as Most Meritorious Exhibit at the Indianapolis Show. Clyde; F.

Apropos of the fact that we had re- ceived many inquiries from different sections of the country and every fall and spring there is considerable discus- sion of an affliction or a geranium leaf spot which is supposed to be caused by a fungus, we have had our state horticultural department take the mat- ter up and they have taken it to the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, in regard to which Prof. F. H. Chittenden, in charge of truck, crop and stored product insect investi- gations of the Bureau of Entomology, writes to Prof. Temple, of the Maryland Horticultural Department, as follows: "I am in receipt of your additional specimens of geranium leaves and beg to state, as before mentioned, thOT* the injury is apparently entirely that known as stigmonose. This was for some time believed to be a specific fungous trouble, but by experiments has been determined to be the result of injury either by thrips or aphides. Under certain conditions plants attacked by these insects seem to develop this peculiar adventitious cell growth, which much resembles the attack of certain species of fungi. Fumigation or the application of proper insecticides for thrips and aphides would undoubtedly lessen the injury. The attack of these insects may be responsibly fd> the yel- lowing of the leaves, but i. am unable to state this definitely." Prof. C. E. Temple, writing further on the subject, says: "I may add that Mr. Anspon and I are planning some experiments to determine the cause of this trouble. It will take some time, but I am sure that we will be able to get some results. I am ^i^^^, to see how the trouble can b«.;eoDsSfMpre*ldrot, Patrick Welch.

We RESULTS, give them. You get them. We both have them. The next big event on the trade cal- endar will be the appearance of the Christmas number of The Review. If the Mrs. Russell rose is given Amer- ican Beauty temperature during the win- ter it should keep going satisfactorily during the dull weather months. Next season, just for fun, try disbud- ding a few pompons. The change in size, form and even in color of flower will be most interesting and can be turned into good advertising. If ever a new mum filled a long-felt want, that mum is Chieftain, sometimes referred to as the pink Bonnaflfon. If you have stock plants you can sell all you can propagate next season. The recent reduction in the dividend of the Adams places the express company stock on a four per cent basis. Not many shippers in this trade would care to do business on so narrow a margin. What do you think would happen to the price of other roses if someone should send out a variety of the size of Russell and the floriferousness of Killarneyf Wouldn 't such a variety make everything else unprofitable? Those who usually devote this part of the year te booking advance orders are finding business particularly slow this season. But there is no need to worry; the run of mail orders around delivery time will be all the stronger. THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING. One by one advertisers are learning that it is not where a paper is printed, but where it is read, that counts. For instance, a letter containing instruc- tions to omit several varieties from an advertisement of bulbs concludes: We certainly were surprised at the response to this advertisement; The Review sure does puU. — J.

Business consists in getting an order for the goods, filling the order to the satisfaction of the customer, getting the money and completing the transaction to the profit and pleasure of all parties concerned. — Elbert Hubbard. COLLECTIONS IMPROVINQ. Collections have been slow, decidedly slow, for two or three months. People usually prompt pay have in many in- stances deferred the settlement of their accounts, while as for those who are congenitally slow pay — well, they seemed to think a moritorium had been declared in this country as in Europe — that one had no right to ask them for his money. But conditions are improving. It has become the fashion to ask for payments on account — for something, even if only a little, to accompany new orders. Collections are looking up. Also, the banks are in easier cir- cumstances and the man of good credit can borrow at his bank at reasonable cost. BAD BUSINESS, WHAT? In a recent issue of The Review an Illinois florist was quoted as saying that business was what one might call good, as the sales of October 26 put him ahead of the total for the 365 days in 1913. Now comes a cotton states florist who has an even better story to tell. This is it: I notice In The Review for October 29 wliat Wm. Swinbank reports regarding his business this year as compared with last. We have got him "beaten a mile" and then some.

SMILE, AND THE WORLD— In Chicago there is a janitor who presides over an apartment house filled with nervous women. There are women who fight when the apartment gets cold, and an equal number who fight when it gets " too warm. And, one and all, they all descend into the yard, at stated intervals, to rip this janitor up the back, because he does not put an end to what annoys them. And the janitor t He is a Swede and he just smiles. He says, "Yes, sure," to everything. He disagrees with no woman, but he smiles at them all with charming lack of discrimination. The result? That is easy. No woman has ever been able to quarrel with this jani- tor for long. It can't be done. The suggestion is: Try this smile in your store and in your business life. But, in trying it, you want to make sure that you use the right brand of smile. This janitor's smile comes from a merry heart; it isn't forced, put on as politicians do. He means it. It isn't the smile of derision such as the wise man uses when he wants to make the fool seem doubly foolish. It isn't the smile that the selfish man uses when he has "put it over" on the other fellow. This Swede's smile is that of a man pleased with the world and who wonders that you are not. That is the brand of smile to try. This sort of smile will work both ways. It will treble the efficiency of your staff and it will stop all the com- plaints made by those who want to kick, but are not sure what to kick about. It will soothe the nerves and smooth the road. CHICAGO. The Market. There have been signs of an impend- ing change in the market, but the im- provement last week was slight. Im- mense quantities of flowers were sold, so that business must have been good with some of the buyers, but the sup- ply has been so much larger than what the trade calls the regular demand that it has so far been impossible to raise prices to any appreciable extent — aver- age returns to the growers, especially on carnations, still are much below normal for this time of year. The cold snap that came November 15 is ex- pected to change things before many days, if it lasts. The flower that brings the best price is the Mrs. Russell rose; in most whole- sale houses it brings considerably bet- ter prices than they are able to average NovMBEB 19. 1914.

Next sea- son many growers will cut down on Beauty to give extra space to Russell and no doubt the price will fall, which will increase the competition for the other roses. Ophelia is acquitting itself creditably; the propagators are getting busy and it will be planted more exten- sively next season. Killarney Brilliant has hardly made good its early promise, but some fine stock is seen. Hadley is not yet a market factor. Milady and Richmond are in better favor since cooler weatlier came. There is plenty of Killarney for the present demand, but a change is expected with cooler weather and the passing of mums. Sun- burst is fine and sells well, as does Ward. Mums appear to have passed the height of their season and to be on the down grade. There continue to be large supplies of low grade mums, but an improved market is noted for good Chadwick, Eaton, Yellow Eaton and other first-class large late sorts. Pom- pons and singles never were so abun- dant as last week. Prices are low. Expert growers have thus far averaged only about three-fifths what the benches brought them last year. The late benches are expected to do better. Carnations have been and are too plentiful for the demand; growers have not, in most cases thus far this season, averaged much over half what they did last year. The colder weather is ex- pected to help, if it lasts. Violets, double and single, are more abundant and of better quality since the weather turned cooler. Cattleyas are equal to all demands. Valley, too, is in adequate supply. Two local growers are cutting gardenias, enough to take care of all buyers who make their wants known in advance. Lilies are becoming more plentiful. Sweet peas, too, are comiftfif stronger. Stevia ar- rived last week. Bouvardia is seen in several wholesale houses. Paper Whites already have begun to stand around. All greens are abundant and of good quality. Thanksgiving Prospects. There is every indication of an excel- lent Thanksgiving business next week. Shipping has been cut down by the large supplies of mums through the country, but these crops are passing and the- result already is apparent in the revival of the shipping trade. With the mums cleaned up to an unusual degree by Thanksgiving, the call on Chicago should be stronger than ever before. The trade through the country under- stands that unusually good values were to be had in Chicago this fall, and that this, no doubt, still will be the case next week, so that there is every indi- cation of brisk business.

French & Salm will not take pos- session until March 1, the place being completed and lying idle in the inter- val, so that they get it new and un- used. Guy W. French is well known as the president of the Chicago Florists' Club. He has been with Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, for seventeen years, in charge of carnations. He says it seems like leaving home to make a change, but that this seems an unusual opportunity to start in business. Rich- ard Salm has been at the Poehlmann establishment for nine years, in charge of the Beauties. Both ihefl'are known as close thinkers and expert growers. Tbe House of Kennicott. The news of the sudden death of E. E. Pieser, president of Kennicott, Bros. Co., was a shock, although the market had realized that his health was precarious. Mr. Pieser held sixty per cent of the capital stock of the Kenni- cott corporation, the other forty per cent being in the hands of Agnes Ken- nicott, widow of Flint Kennicott, and her son, Hal, both of whom are in Florida. Mrs. Pieser is her husband 's only heir and has signified her wish that the business go on without change, the corporation having the services of three experienced and capable men, ■N. P. Miller, Max Ringier and E. Frank, the latter in charge of the ac- counting. After Refunds on Freight.

This was on com- plaint and evidence furnished by the florists there and it caused a reduction of 15 cents per ton in the freight paid on coal from the smokeless fields of West Virginia. The principal bene- ficiaries were Peter Reinberg, George Reinberg and the J. A. Budlong estate. Having secured a reduction that put them on the same freight basis as other growers north of town, claims were entered before the commission requesting that a refund be ordered equal to the overcharge during the years 1911, 1912 and 1913. It amounts to a pretty penny. November 14 George Reinberg, P. C.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held an interesting meeting November 12, in Odd Fellows' building. There was a splendid attendance. President Jules Bourdet presided over the meeting and the entire staff of officers were present. A letter from John Young, secretary of the S. A. F., pertaining to S. A. F. matters, was read and ordered filed for future reference. Application frr mem- bership was made by Max Schiller, of the Missouri Botanical Garden. O. C. May and Geo. Denys, applicants for membership, were reported favorably and their election followed. The holding of a spring flower show was again brought up for discussion. This discussion was opened by W. C. Smith, followed by W. S. Wells, Aug. Hummert, Carl Beyer, W. W. Ohlweiler, H. C. Irish and F. Fillmore. The plan spoken of by W. C. Smith seemed to impress the members most, and on motion the chair appointed a commit- tee of five to bring in a report at the next meeting as to the advisability of holding such an exhibition next spring. This committee consists of W. C. Smith, W. S. Wells, A. H. Hummert, Geo. H. Pring and Al. Gumz. A report from this committee at the next meet- ing will bring final action from the members. The report of Treasurer Smith showed that the club was quite healthy financially. A motion was made that an enter- tainment of some sort be given for the members and their families, and the trustees were instructed to prepare a program to be submitted to the mem- bers at the next meeting for acceptance.

None of the new reds is making good here, unless Bussell be called a red. Carnations have improved decidedly in the last week or two, both in size and texture. There are more of them than there is a demand for. Home-grown valley is appearing again and will be plentiful soon. Lilies are rather scarce and there are no home- grown orchids as yet. Variotis Notes. Geny Bros, have a monopoly of vio- lets and Bweet peas thus far. Thejr.are selling well, too. The new Philadelphia carnations, as seen at this firm's place, are of fine form and color, and Mr. Geny states that they are proving to be the heaviest producers that he has ever grown. Through the influence of some of the local florists, an editorial on "Flow- ers at Funerals" appeared last week in one of the leading dailies. The editor spoke strongly against the grow- ing custom of appending the words, * ' Please omit flowers, ' * to funeral no- tices. Haury & Sons had somie of the best Sunburst roses this week .that I have ever seen. They have stuck by this rose from the first, as their yellow, and they are learning to grow it at its best. Miss Sloan, of the Joy Floral Co., was not at her post when I called, as she was confined to her home by illness.

The Academy of Milsic bridged oyer to Horticultural hall, and Conven- tion hall. After a careful investigation the committee unanimously decided in favor of Convention hall, at Broad street and Allegheny avenue. When: Convention hall was leased for eight days, probably Saturday, March 26, to Sunday, April 2, 1916. This will be three weeks before Easter, wiich is April 23 in that year. How: Some fifteen committees formed from perhaps half of the members of the Philadelphia Florists' Club have been selected to do the work. Each committee will have its special field, 80 that the task will be divided in- stead of bearing heavily on the shoul- dei-s of ftiiy one man.

The most beautiful church wedding that has ever taken place in Camden, N. J., occurred recently. The deco- rations were of pink and white chrys- anthemums, perfect, highly-colored pin oak foliage, palms, ferns and greens. The altar was elaborately decorated with artistic skill, green and white be- ing used with tfelling effect. A pretty feature wa& the baskets of whitie chrys- anthemums surmounting the aisle posts, three large baskets On each side of the long middle aisle. Baskets of the au- tumn queeh were also suspended from the chandelier. Sfereens prettily fes- tooned were used to break the severity of the corners. The bride carried 9 lovely shower bouquet of valley and white orchids. The maid of honor had a pink muflF of valley. The work was arranged and executed by James M. Thoirs, who was ably assisted by James Walch. Mr. Thoirs has, by energy and ability, developed a fine business in Camden. Various Notes. J. J. Habermehl 'a Sons expect to open their new flower store, adjoining the Ritz-Carlton hotel, November 21. The date of opening depends on the hotel 's ability to get its annex finished in time. Ludwig P. Vollers purchased the re- tail business of Robert Kift, at 1725 Chestnut street, November 16. The business will be carried on under the name of Vollers' House of Flowers.

Mr. Farenwald detailed the work already done in regard to the selection of a suitable building for the show. If Convention hall were selected, he said, some provision would have to be made for heating the building. S. S. Pennock expressed himself as confident of the success oif the show. Charles H. Fox spoke of the value of publicity for the show, not only during the few weeks preceding the show, but for many months in advance of the show dates. He also suggested the advisability of the selection of jurors well In advance of the show. William Kleinheinz said he had given much thought to the show and had every confidence in its success. He did not consider Convention hall too far away frqm the center of the city. He promised to support the show in every way he could, and said he would ex- hibit oq a large scale and that every private gardener around Philadelphia would also exhibit. Kobert Craig spoke in favor of .leas- ing Convention hall, and was of the opinion t^at no better building for the purpose could be found in the country. The forthcoming show, he said, wpuld electrify the horticultural world by its magnificence and would be a pro- nounced success. Predictions of Success John A. Dod48 expressed his confi- dence in the success of the show, and said that he would make a large ex- hibit and lend his assistance in any direction required. John C. Gracey, retail florist, pre- dicted that the e^ow would be a Suc- cess, and that the members would work harmoriibusly together to that end. J.

He spoke of the value of publicity con- cerning it, and intimated that his com- pany was already preparing for it and that* he would seek to- induce many others to become interestpd. Treasurer W. F.

The market, which was fairly brisk during the week, slackened consider- ably November 14. Large quantities of chrysanthemums are seen every- where and they are arriving with much stronger stem and firmer blossoms. There has been quite a demand for the branching varieties and also the pom- pons. Easter lilies are quite plentiful and a good supply of valley is on hand. Large consignments of roses arrive each morning, but the price is quite low. They are of fine quality and have im- proved greatly, owing to the cooler weather. Orchids are plentiful, but the demand is not great. A few sweet peas are on the market. Carnations are quite plentiful and of good size, with fair length of stem. Violets are much more satisfactory, both in size, color and fragrance. Snapdragons, Pa- per Whites, bachelor's buttons and a few gardenias make up our usual stock. Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Mr. Hart Takes Exception. George B. Hart requests the publica- tion of the following: "In your issue of November 5, I wish to take excep- tion to the stated condition of the Rochester market. Your correspondent has certainly made erroneous state- ments in regard to roses, carnations and valley. There has been no time in the last two weeks when we have not had from 1;000 to 1,500 valley goin^ to waste for the want of buyers. This also ap- Akmdutly prefared •! ■U Uaet.

B. Hart." Various Notes. Stephen Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was in town No- vember 13. The monthly meeting of the Roches- ter Florists' Association was held No- vember 9, presided over by John Dun- bar, president. Apart from the routine business, plans were made for the flower day of the Rochester Public Health Association to *be held early in June. In a talk entitled "Could Rose Growing be Made Successful in Roches- tert" Colin B. Ogston attempted to show that as yet it was practically im- possible for florists in this city to com- pete with the rose growers in the east. He gave statistics showing the lack of sunlight in this vicinity compared with that in places where roses are grown successfully in greenhouses. A visit to F. R. Bohnke 's greenhouses shows everything to be in good condi- tion. He plans to grow 20,000 gerani- ums for the coming spring.

It is filled with carnations, in a robust condition. They are planted on solid beds. In his other houses the plants are doing well, but it is easy to see the diflference in the plants in the new and up-to-date house, and the old style, which makes a grower realize that it pays to keep up with the times.

While there is still abundant room for improvement, conditions are some- what better and a more optimistic feel- ing is abroad. There has not been much advance in values, but, with the gradual decrease of the chrysanthemum supply and with somewhat more season- able weather, clearances are better and it is hoped that from now on the market will brace Uf).

Bonnaffon is the most popular mum still, with White and Yellow Eaton, Intensity, Patty and a fjBW others selling in smaller quantities. Pompons are sell- ing better than the large varieties and good colors clean up well. Carnations ; are moving a little better; the prices also show an improvement. Eoses are doing a little better; the supplies have shortened up considerably. Beauties do not improve in price, but should do so soon. Ward, Shawyer, Hadley, Stan- ley, Sunburst and Russell are the leaders. Violets are not overplentiful and are selling better. Some nice sweet peas are comihg in. These make 50 to 60 cents per hundred. Valley holds up well, but callas and lilies move slowly. Cornflowers sell fairly well. Paper White narcissi are now abundant. Cat- tleyas rarely bring over $3 per dozen. Gardenias are good and are more plen- tiful. Aspara^s does not sell well. I°n the way of pot plants, some Mme.

It was voted to have ladies' night in January. Various Notes, The annual meeting of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society was held November 14, when the following offi- cers for 1915 were elected: President, J, K, M, L. Farquhar; vice-president, E. M. Saltonstall; trustees for three years, C. S. Sargent, F. L, Ames, Thomas Boland and Thomas Allen; nominating committee, John L, Smith, Kichard Hittinger, George Page, David R. Craig and Henry M. Howard; dele- gate to state board of agriculture, Ed- ward B. Wilder. Penn had the decorations, which were quite extensive and elaborate, for the farewell reception given on the new Argentine super-dreadnought, Riv- adaria, launched some time ago by the Fore River Shipbuilding Works, Quincy, Mass. Palms, southern smilax and American Beauty roses were used in quantity, and the decoration was one of the finest the firm has ever car- ried out. John Barr is one of the local growers whose establishment is always to be found in immaculate condition. At one time he grew cyclamens and hydrangeas in quantity at his Natick plac«, but he has now dropped pot plants and handles carnations dzclusively.

Mrs. Cheney, his seedling variegated, is as good as ever; so, also, are his Pink Delight, Yellow Prince and White Wonder. Julius H. Zinn, of Park street, will move to the store recently vacated by F. H. Houghton, on the same street, about January 1. John A. Nelson, of Framingham, in addition to a splendid lot of carnations, is now cutting a fine lot of sweet peas. William K. Morris, of Wellesley Hills, through B. J. McGinty, is send- ing in as fine a lot of Richmond, Kil- larney and White Killarney roses as are to be seen in the local market. At Carbone's, Ophelia roses are im- mensely popular. Other roses in great demand are Stanley, Sunburst, Ward, Shawyer, Fireflame and Russell. They have a grand lot of the newer dracsenas, and their specimen plants of Poly- podium Mandaianum and aureum are grand. The Rosery, on Boylston street, al- ways keeps an attractive show window. Business here is reported good and the outlook is promising for the coming winter. Fred E. Palmer, of Brookline, has one of the finest lots of cyclamens I have seen this season at his greenhouses on Newton street. He also has a fine assortment of mums, including some particularly good stock of such favorite sorts as Bonnaffon, Miss Alice Byron and Chieftain, a beautiful pink. He also has a splendid lot of pompons and singles. This summer he built a new lean-to house, which is filled with hard- wooded plants. The Halifax Garden Co., through A. E. Walsh, is disposing of large quan- tities of pompon and single mums, which are popular this season. Their Ward roses are unusually good and of a high color. A. F.

He also has some fine Eaton chrysan- themums. J. VV. Foote, of Beading, seems to have the market practically to himself on Bouvardia Humboldtii, which be grows splendidly. Other growers have taken this up and dropped it. Growers must carry over old plants from year to year to get quantities of flowers; young plants are not profitable. ■ The Shepard-Norwell Co., which is the most recent of the big dry goods stores to establish a cut flower depart- ment, uses the newspapers freely in advertising flowers and plants. Their show window on Winter street is near Silverman's and bargains are alwavs offered there. If a few more of the big stores would also handlq flowers, , the trouble with the market glut 'would be solved. J. Newman & Sons are getting a good share of funeral and wedding orders, in coipmon' with other newer firms. All work turned out by this old flrm is well dope. J. A. Budlong & pqn Co., of Auburn, R. I., find Patty a useful pink chrysan- themum,' but 'cannot get extra long stems on it.' YelloT^ and White Eaton and Bonnaffon are their great standbys. The Boston Cut Flower Co. h^d a large decoration in Dorchester, Novejn- ber 12! They continue '{d make a fea- ture of bargain boxes of roses'. The W. W. Edgar Co. is already marketing Mme.

Co. is being kept quite busy with shipping orders and is opti- mistic as to the coming season. If there is one grower of gigapteums whose flowers are ahead of all others, the man is John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain. His floyrers have a size and purity not seen on other stands. Various remedies for the existing cut flower congestion are being suggested. The two wholesale markets are con- sidering the question. The proposal to open the markets to the public after a certain hour finds considerable favor. A public market is also suggested and is said to find support in civic circles. Another suggested remedy is to peti- tion the mayor to open up certain streets so as to permit boys to sell flowers. In addition to his immense stock of orchids and gardenias, Frank J. Dolan- sky has a grand lot of Otaheite oranges and poinsettias ^or the holidays. W. B. Cobb, of the Xprd & Burnham Co., will deliver a stereopticon lecture before the Gardeners' and Florists' Qlub December 15 on "Greenhouse Construction." The annual election of oflB'cers will occur the same evening. Peter Fisher's sales of his new c^r- ijatipi), Alice^ are fapi^ly approaching the quarter-miUiop mark. W. K. C. Decfi^, HI.— C.

The market in November so far has not come up to the October standard, probably due to the fine summer weather we have been having. We are in hopes that a big snow, November 14, and the cold weather we have been hav- ing since then will give a little stim- ulus to trade. Stock of all kinds seems to be plentiful. Paper Whites are be- ginning to come into the market. Potted plants are going well. Various Notes. C. J. Bickes, of the Stiles Co., Okla- homa City, Okla., called on the trade last week in the interest of his firm. He reports business good in Oklahoma City. Two new flower stores opened in Den- ver last week, the Economy Store, on Fifteenth street, and the 0. P. John- son store, at 1929 Welton street. Carl A. Espelin, of Espelin & Warren, Fort Collins, Colo., was among the vis- itors last week. J. A. Valentine, of the Park Floral Co., has returned from a short visit to Chicago. K. S. Commissioner Otto F. Thum is plan- ning to build a greenhouse at^ the City park this winter or next spring, at a cost of from $2.^,000 to $30,000, to take the place of the present weak and an- tiquated structure.

I .,'. -tfeittoB Tbi-Wi^ew ^vn yon wHtC The General Average You /can never be too sure of anything, and least of all of son/ething which has all the earmarks of a sure thing. Nothing is so uncertain as the duration of the life of an in- dividual. Yet nothing is more certain than the average dura- tion of life of a thousand individuals. We know the average duration of human life is about 33 years; we know about 25% die before the age of six and 50% before the age of sixteen; and that only 1% live to be 65. Of a thousand men we know so many smoke, so many are criminals, so many attend church, etc. It is the Law of Average. This law may be applied as well to Lily bulbs. It says that Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs average nearly 90% good when properly grown; that most all the largest con- sumers use them; and the very largest use them en- tirely. MWre profit has been made from this brand than from any other brand ever known. We don't claim every bulb will give you unequaled results, but we do claim a thousand bulbs will average more and better results than a like quantity from other brands. The average is what counts. Absolutely the best that can be obtained any- where. Catalogue free. RALPH M. WARD & CO. THK LILY HOUSE 71 Murray Street •'NEW YORK " Cheap, 62 The Florists' RcvfeW NOTEltBBft Id, 1914.

OEEENWICH, CONN. A good representation of members was present at the monthly meeting of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticul- tural Society, held in the society's rooms in Doran's hall, November 13, with President Robt. Williamson in the chair. One active member and one life member were elected. Joseph Manda, of Orange, N. J., was a visitor. A happy feature of the evening was the presentation of prizes to the win- ners at the fall exhibition, held re- cently. Our honored member, John M. Brown, mayor-elect of Stamford, Conn., made the presentation speech. A letter from the secretary of the National Association of Gardeners was read, informing the members of the resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of the cooperative committee of the N. A. G. Our society is in hearty accord with the efforts of the N. A. G. for the betterment of the conditions affecting the gardeners and for the advancement of horticulture. The local committee will endeavor to assist the national committee in every way pos- sible. The nomination of officers of the society for the ensuing year was next in order. The list of names assures the society of a continuation of the successes of the past. During recess one of our talented members, J. E. Melcher, of Riverside, Conn., entertained us with some clever and mystifying tricks of sleight of hand.

Santa Monica, Cal. — The Mountain View Nurseries, under the management of Albert V. Amet, has been establish- ing a general nursery and florists' busi- ness since early this year. The sales- yard and flower shop is srtr 1044 Second street, and the plant depot and nursery is being completed at Fifth and Bay streets. For further expansion the company has recently acquired 280 acres of land in the Santa Monica mountains, fourteen miles from the salesyard. Mr. Amet is an enthusiastic hybridizer and has recently produced a magenta carnation, Amalya Schoene, and a rose which he is naming Mrs. Woodrow Wilson on account of its ap- proach to a blue color, Mrs. Wilson 's favorite hue. Mr. Amet, Sr., is now on a trip east. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. While nothing in the nature of a rush has been noted, business is better than for some weeks. With the colder weather coming on, and plenty of stock in sight, the prospects are bright for a good holiday trade. Chrysanthemums will be in excellent condition for Thanksgiving, Such varieties as Bon- naffon, Polypheme and Chadwick will be at their best at that time. Carna- tions are still plentiful, but the prices have held well; no price cuttings have been indulged in. All flowers of the finer grades, such as orchids, etc., are scarce here. Few orchids are grown by the local florists. ^ Various Notes. y A. E. Buxton, who for the last few months has had charge of the carnation range at Van Slyke & Seamons', has severed his connection with this com- pany and returned to Seattle, where he will engage in the business. J. Jacobsen, florist at the Western WashtTigton Insane Asj'lum, has been showing some fine specimen chrysanthe- mum blooms at the rooms of the Com- mercial Club during the last week. ,T. L. P. LOS ANGELES. The Market. There was a decidedly better tone to business last week and everyone seems satisfied. The biggest rush of chrysan- themums seems to be over; though there are still large numbers of them around the stores, yet they have not piled up so much in the wholesale houses. We have had a heavy rain and there are signs of more; this will probably clean off some of the mums not yet sold. Outdoor roses are fine for this time of the year and La De- troit roses are especially good. Indoor stock is fine, too; Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, My Maryland and Killarney Queen are among the best. Carnations are coming right along and probably never looked k<»?».<»?k« ^riSSSiJiSL;iSJIiS^XSJiS^SSJiSJiS:SSJSS^X^ >i^i^^U^-i^ — - — ^ t i t i r ■■•:' . , , L li^i . 3 rres.

The Florists' Review: 71 terest of all connected with the trade was the opening of Joseph's new flower shop, at 233 Grant avenue. Beyond a doubt, Mr. Joseph is opening the finest shop that San Francisco can boast of. He has leased three stories of a promi- nent building, the front of which is embellished with flower boxes and trel- lises. From the flower boxes wonder- ful plants of Lotus peliorhynchus hang gracefully over the edge, and at the pilasters he is constructing a lattice- work, which will be covered with vines throughout the year. The first floor of Mr. Joseph 's flower shop is in ivory white. The show window is immense, the largest span of plate glass that any florist here can boast of. The walls are Caen stone finish, the floor tile. The second floor of Mr. Joseph's establish- ment is arranged with a bower eflfect and will be devoted exclusively to plants in art receptacles. The third floor will be temporarily used for an aquarium and aviary, but later will be devoted to fine English and Italian garden furniture. For a trade-mark, Mr. Joseph has selected a many-colored escutcheon, to represent the coat of many colors. Mr. Joseph's establish- ment differs from other local concerns in that he advertises his firm as dealers in "flowers, fruits and favors." Podesta & Baldocchi showed a most appropriate window for the occasion of the "big game." Skillfully created footballs of yellow and red chrysanthe- mums dexterously laced with ribbon were a striking feature of the window. The Gaiety Flower Shop last, week had a window of old-fashioned bou- quets, showing the colors of the lead- ing football teams. Eric James, of Elmhurst, has been confined to his bed with a severe cold. He will be up and about within a few days. The MacKorie-McLaren Co. has just received a consignment of three car- loads of boxwood, hollies and other or-, namental plants. Mr. Macllorie reports that the goods reached their destination in perfect shape. The regular monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was held in Sachem hall, Redmen's build- ing, November 7. The following were the awards on the monthly exhibits: Eucalyptus ficifolia blooms, exhibited by E. A. Asmus, 90 points; ncphrol- epis, exhibited by Hillsborough Nur- series, 80 points; cyclamen plants, ex- hibited by MacRorie-McLaren Co., 95 points. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Regarding carnations and mums the situation has changed but little. This small change, however, has been for the better. A few more cloudy days have helped to increase the demand, as homes require more decorating to be cheerful and there are not qtfite so many flowers in the yards that can be used. Retail prices have been well sustained, considering the oversupply. Roses, vio- lets and valley of good quality are plen- "J"' and retail at normal prices. Or- ("hids are coming in more freely. Orna- mental and blooming potted plants are moving a little faster. Various Notes. A carload of Belgian azaleas has just CALIFORNIA VIOLETS Our Famous Winter Brand— Grown Especially for Shipping.

With all the flower stores making a fine display of flowers and plants, and most of the outside flowers finished for the season, there should be better busi- ness. Some days it is fair, but the average sales are hardly so good as we would desire. There has been a glut of carnations and they are still too plentiful, but indications point to their resuming their normal prices be- fore Thanksgiving, and probably after that the supply will not be in excess of the demand. Shawyer and Chate- nay roses are arriving in fine shape and there are few left over. Chrysan- themums are mostly home-grown and are selling well, as in their keeping qualities they are much superior to California stock. There is a good sup- ply of orchids and they are used for many purposes. Cyclamens are good and are selling well. Lorraine and Cin- cinnati begonias are moving fast. Club Meeting. The usual monthly club meeting was held in the Chamber of Commerce as- sembly room, November 10, with a fair attendance. An influential deputation from the Tacoma Florists' Club was present and subjects of considerable importance to the trade were discussed. A committee consisting of J. J. Bon- nell, George Antenin and L. C. Beal was appointed to see that the interests of the trade are looked after by the coming state legislature, and to confer with members of the trade regarding the reduction in the number of bulbs forced for spring trade. An interesting discussion took place, after which the Tacoma delegation was entertained by the local club. Various Notes. 'The store of Mrs. L. W. McCoy, on Third avenue, was visited last week by burglars for the second time re- cently. The first visit did not result in aiiy gain to the prowlers, but this time they secured three checks, which they subsequently cashed. However, as Mrs. McCoy had stopped payment of them at her bank, she was not the loser. Fortunately, they were not able to open the safe and consoled them- selves by ringing up some amounts on the cash register. Chris. Jochimsen, of the Rainier Floral Co., has been operated on for appendicitis and is still in the Seattle General hospital, recovering fairly well. The operation, though success- ful, was the cause of a great deal of subsequent suffering and he is showing the effects of it.

During his illness the interests of the Eainier Floral Co. have been carefully attended to by his brother. Charles Gilmer, who has been fore- man at A. B. Matthiesen's pjace for the last few years, has gone on a visit to his old home in Alabama. It is •expected that his return will not be long deferred, as few people can recon- cile themselves to living long away from this salubrious district after they have once made this their abode. A few months ago we recorded the fact that Miss Fowler, of the Burdett Co., was an author of note; now we have to record that she is a poet as well as a writer of prose. At a concert here last week a song of her composi- tion was sung and she has others that have been set to music. There is noth- ing more conducive to the divine afflatus than the environment of flowers and who knows but that the muse is lying dormant in most of our floriculturists t Last week Bedelsheimers the Cloth- iers celebrated their twenty-fifth anni- versary here and Bosaia Bros, had an opportunity to display their artistic talents in the lavish decorations.

Are they hardy here, in western Wisconsin f J. M. *" This scilla would not prove hardy in your state. As the bulbs are large, pots of a fair size are necessary to hold in- dividual bulbs. Give them about the same compost as would suit ordinary Dutch bulbs, such as tulips and narcissi. Just cover the bulbs with soil and give them ordinary greenhouse culture. They naturally bloom outdoors in May and June in the warmer states, but under pot culture may be had earlier. They seldom produce flowers two years in suc- cession from the same bulbs. From the name it would be imagined that S.

A. and Sarah J. Suber. Henry Hansen, for some years in bus- iness at Long Grove, la., has formed a partnership with E. M. C. Eohlf, of the Alta yista Nursery, at Davenport, la., and expects to move in the near future. Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports more business on its books than at this date in any recent year, mostly public and subdivision planting, but including several excellent private landscaping con- tracts. An immense sign-board, in plain view of passengers on the trains which pass by the grounds, is used by the Elm City Nursery Co., at its new establishment at Woodmont, Conn., to attract the notice of the public. The court has ordered the sale of the real property of the Phoenix Nursery Co., Bloomington, 111., at public auction, January 16, 1915. John Y. Chisholm is receiver. It is one of the oldest and best known nurseries in the United States. A CARLOAD of evergreens, shrubs and vines has been shipped by the Bay State Nurseries, of North Abington, Mass., to the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Frjincisco. This stock is donated for ex- hibition purposes and will be planted about the Massachusetts building. As long as there are "crooks" there wUl be "suckers" to make their devious ways prosperous, proving that P. T. Bar- num was a wise man when he said that people want to be fooled. Some Wiscon- sin horticulturists are finding that the "seedless" raspberry bushes they bought from alleged nursery agents produce fruit that causes persons with bad teeth as much inconvenience as ever. DUTY ON EHODODENDEONS. The Board of United States General Appraisers at New York has just over- ruled the protest of P. Ouwerkerk, who objected to the collector's assessment on Rhododendron ppntica at twenty-five per cent ad valorem under paragraph 264 of the 1909 tariff act as nursery stock. The importer claimed the mer- chandise was entitled to fre« entry un- der paragraph 668 as evergreen seed- lings. MOVE FOE UNITOEM INSPECTION. Uniform laws in regard to the in- spection of nursery stock are coming closer and closer to being accomplished facts in the Pacific coast states and particularly in the Pacific northwest. The horticultural commissioners of the four northwestern states are meeting in conference in Spokane this week, during the national apple show, with the object not only of checking over the progress of the work in the "Various states, but also of agreeing upon modifications of present laws so as to promote uniform- ity. A greater step in this direction is being taken by Governor West, of Ore- gon, who has invited the governors of all the Pacific coast states, as well as Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Ari- zona, to be present at Corvallis Novem- ber 31 and December 1, to meet with the legislative committees of the Oregon State Horticultural Society and the state board of horticulture. At this meeting a uniform law will be agreed upon by the members of the two com- mittees and the governors or their dele- gates, which will then be introduced in the legislatures of the states interested. WHY ONE SUIT FAILED. Otto Hubenthal, doing business as the Spokane Nursery, has just lost a suit in the Washington Supreme Court, on the ground that his suit purported to be one to recover the purchase price of nursery stock under an ordinary sale, whereas the proof offered by him showed that the stock was delivered to defend- ants upon consignment and under an agreement that when the trees should be sold, defendants would remit the proceeds, less a commission of twenty- five per cent. The trial judge permitted plaintiff to amend his claim to conform to the proof, and awarded judgment in plaintiff's favor, but, on defendant's appeal, the judgment was reversed, on the ground that a person cannot sue on one theory and recover on another. On this point the court said: "The plaintiff pleaded a contract of sale and proved a consignment. Between these two contracts there is a marked distinction. In a sale the title passes to the vendee, while in a consignment the title does not pass to the factoj or broker. A failure on the part of the vendee, under a contract of sale, to meet the obligations incurred by his purchase subjects him t)nly to a money' judgment, while a failure of the factor or bfOker to properly account for goods or merchandise held by him on consign- ment when sold, not only may subject him to a money judgment, but to a more serious penalty under the criminal law. There appears to be no alternative but to sustain the claim of the error. It is not a harsh rule, however, when the facts, as in this case, are within the knowledge of the plaintiff, to require that they be set forth truthfully in the complaint." (Hubenthal vs. Creighton,. 143 Pacific Reporter 98.) While it should be interesting to lay- men to note the principle of law thus decided, the responsibility for such a mistake in procedure as occurred in the case above mentioned ordinarily will be found to rest with plaintiff's attorneys,, rather than with plaintiff, who has the right to rely upon his attorneys to bring suit in proper form. 8.

TURBAT & CO., successors, ORLEANS, FRANCE TO THE AMERICAN NURSERY AND FLORIST TRADE Gentlemen. — On account of the war we have not printed, at this season, any catalogue, although we have on hand the best lot of Nursery and Florist slocks we have had for years. We have not printed a catalogue because its preparation has been stopped by the uncertainty in which we have been during the months of August and September. We do not speak about the uncertainty of the results of the defensive war, but of the uncertltude of the means of transport of the goods. Now, however, we are sure that the French railways touching the seaports in connection with the U. S. A. are able to do their work, and that the sea is free. The route is via Le Havre direct to New York or via England. In these conditions our services are at the disposition of our American colleagues for the following articles: BOS£ TREES. Several millions deliverable, in the best sorts, old and new, in splendid choice. Our collection is one of the most com- plete in the world, deliverable as dwarfs and as standards. Great specialties of Ramblers and Baby Ramblers. ROSE STOCKS. Enormous lots of Manetti, Multiflora de la Griffer- ale, Multiflora Polyantha. Dog Rosfe, etc. ALI. FRUIT TRBE STOCKS. Enormous lots of Apple. Cherry, Mahaleb, Pear, Plum Myrobolan, Quince, etc. ' YOUNG DECIDUOUS and EVERGREEN ORNAMENTAL TRKE8 and SHRUBS.

This disease has already been brought to this country, apparently on Japa- nese nursery stock, and is becoming established in the gulf citrus region of the United States, including Florida. In the latter state most strenuous ef- forts, at great cost, which probably will be successful, are being made to stamp it out. In view of the tremendous value of the citrus development in the United States, and the serious possibilities of this and other citrus diseases, it be- comes the duty of the Secretary of Ag- riculture to consider the advisability of restricting or prohibiting the im- portation of citrus nursery stock, buds, scions or seeds, from all foreign coun- tries. Under Section 7 of the plant quaran- tine act of August 20, 1912, a. public hearing will be held at the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, at 10 o'clock, December 8, 1914, in order that all persons interested may have an opportunity to appear and be heard concerning the establishment of a quar- antine on all citrus nursery stock, buds, scions or seeds coming to the United States.

We are still waiting, rather impa"- tiently, too, for cold weather to wake up the flower buying public. The sea- son thus far has been abnormal to a marked degree and a true comparison with other years is impossible under existing conditions. Roses continue in good supply and the stock is really fine. Some splendid specimens of the different varieties are seen on the market. This stock is sell- ing well, although the prices realized are lower than they should be. Carnations are plentiful and are be- ing cleaned up better than heretofore. The stock is good, with no more than the ordinary percentage of splits, but prices are, of course, below normal. Cheap mums are nearly out of the market; by that I mean the small, weak stock. Good mums are still with us in quantijty, but are being disposed of at low prices. The mum crop is not at all satisfactory this year, as the warm weather brought the stock in heavily and glutted the market to a great extent. This, of course, affected the sale of other flowers. Violets are coming in slowly and what we get are being sold at medium prices. This stock will help consider- ably later on, as it seems to be a gen- eral favorite with buyers." Valley re- mains about sufficient to meet the de- mand and no trouble is experienced in moving the cut. A few callas are seen on the market, but are not moving well. Lilies are scarce, but as the de- mand is light, this is not a hardship. American Beauties are in fair supply and are selling well. Various Notes. John Zech, of Chicago, visited his Milwaukee friends Friday, November 13. T. B. Comandros, of the Golden Rule flower department, St. Paul, Minn., was also a visitor last week. 11. J. S.

That is (lie way to keep abreast of the times. If you have not already done so, be sure you include our "Yellow Sport from Mrs.^Chas. Eager."

Wake up ! Go right ahead into business. Look out for yourself, for nobody will give you anything if you have nothing. The European war has nothing to do with the florists' business— we don't ship plants to Europe. If business is bad, don't blame the war, but blame yourself. ■^^^ Look here: — I will help you and give you a chance, but for one week ^^^ only, at prices seldom offered.

Last week's market was somewhat weak. The heavy supply of the pre- vious weeks continued to come in, while the call for stock was not so active as it had been. Low prices rule in most lines. Roses of all kinds are plentiful and generally of a most ex- cellent quality. American Beauties sell well. Carnations are in heavy supply, but are meeting with an indifferent market. The cold weather that came with the first of this week is expected to shorten these lines greatly. Chrysanthemums are coming in heav- ily and, while many sell, the prices are so moderate that it takes large sales to run into money. The pompon market is not strong. Lilies are plenti- ful. Both rubrums and callas are to J be had. Other offerings include narcis- ^ si, sweet peas, valley, double and sin- gle violets and orchids. Green goods are plentiful. Various Notes. C. Ya. Critchell was the first in the market to offer sweet peas this fall. L. H. Kyrk was the first wholesaler to offer Paper White narcissi. J. T. Conger is opening a store at 112 East Third street as a wholesale distributing depot for his plants and poinsettias for the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

Bangor, Pa. — The firm of Stone & Stone has been succeeded by that of Stone & Frutchey, of which S. S. Stone and E. P. Frutchey are the members. They have rented the greenhouses of J.

Greenhouse Heating. HEAT FOE ONE NEW HOUSE. Kindly advise me as to the best way of heating my new greenhouse. It is 20x50. The side walls are five feet high and consist of two and one-half feet of wood and two and one-half feet of glass. Each end contains two and one-half feet of wood and the rest is flass. The height to the ridge is eleven eet. There are three benches, each four feet eight inches wide. I have an upright sectional boiler, four feet eight inches high, with a 30-inch grate. This boiler now heats two houses, one of them 24x50 and the other 16x62. The new house is for carnations. Do you think the boiler can heat all three houses? If not, would it do to put on another section? In one of my houses there are ten 1^-inch pipes under each of the side benches, and, when the fire is on, the soil in those benches is baked all the time. If the pipes can be so arranged in the new house that there will not be many under the benches, I shall be thankful. The center beds are solid. M. C. M. The letter does not give the amount of glass in the side walls of the present houses, or the temperature at which they are kept, and as this might make a difference of 50 to 7') per cent in the amount of radiation needed, I cannot be sure about the ability of the boiler to handle it, especially as the only idea regarding the rating of the boiler must be taken from its grate area. A boiler with a grate thirty inches in diameter is generally rated at 1,500 square feet of radiation and upwards, and as the amount of radiation in the three houses is likely to be consid- erably less than this, the present boiler -will probably be able to heat the three houses. In case the rating of the boiler as given by the manufacturers is not more than 1,200 square feet, and Wilks Hot Water Boilers ARE BEST FOR HEATING GREENHOUSES No Night Fireman Required w^ith Our Self-Feeding Boilers Will keep an even and continuous fire for ten hours .and longer without any attention.

For the new house I would use one 2%-inch flow pipe on each plate, and five 2-inch returns under each of the side benches. Unless the top of the boiler is below the level of the returns, it would be better to carry the flows on the purlins or at ' a point two or three ;feet below the ridge. With proper attention to watering, there should be little difficulty in pre- venting the drying out of the soil if the pipes are a foot or more below the bottom of the benches.. When the houses have walks along the side walls, it is advisable to run from one-fourth to one-third of the returns on the walls, but, as I understand it, these houses will have benches against the walls, which will make it necessary to run the pipes either under the benches or in the walks on the bench supports. INDEPENDENCE, MO. The florists have about all recovered from the damage done by the hail. Some have just finished reglazing their houses. E. H. Frandsen has rebuilt several of Tiis houses, as has R.

T, 88 The Florists^ Review NOVBMBKK 19, 1914. KNOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. Trade has picked up wonderfully dur- ing the last week. This ia duer-to the fact that we have been having)a little winter weather, and a ^feSV^ many funerals; also a continuous round of social affairs. Chrysanthemums, car- nations and roses are the main crop at present, but some of the florists are cutting nice sweet peas and violets, which find ready sale. The bulb business, taken as a whole, is. not so good as it has been in former seasons. While the florists are selling about the usual number of bulbs, the different seed houses, which no doubt do the greatest amount of business in this line, report sales as light. This might be attributed to the fact that the bulbs were not received until a little late this season; also, the price was a fraction higher than usual. Various Notes. Chas. L. ,Baum, who attended the chrysanthemum show in Indianapolis, reports a fine trip. On the way up he stopped at Louisville, and on his return at Bichmond, Ind., and Cincinnati. Mr. Speer, formerly of Columbus, O., . who has been for some time with C. W. Crouch, of this city, is now with A. H. Dailey, who has had his hands full of business. Mrs. Bosa Hall Kyno's force is hav- ing plenty to do in the way of funeral work. She also has had several wed- ding jobs of considerable note. As her chrysanthemums were a little early this year, the crop will soon be exhausted and she will be compelled to fall back on carnations, which are blooming nicely. Mrs. Eyno has been ill for some time, but is much' better, and will soon be able to get back to business. Crouch's are having unusually good trade. They made a number of beauti- ful designs for the funeral of J. C. Luttrell, one of the most attractive being a casket cover of valley, orchids and white roses. They are cutting a sufficient supply of good stock. Addison J. McNutt reports a good business for last week. His place be- ing in the Market house, he does an excellent business on Saturdays, Chas. L. Baum's force may be seen busy any time in the day, and many times at night. He has a great many out-of-town agents. His new chrysan- themum, Lena Bauni, is now in season and from all indications will be a fine commercial variety. S. S. Skidelsky, while calling on the trade in Knoxville, spent Sunday with Mr. Baum.

There was quite a good demand for the bet- ter class of stock, such as Beauties, gardenias, orchids and valley, and, while the sal^s- were nothing unusual, the spurt was quite encouraging. Mums of course are still plentiful, small to me- dium sizes being in most request. Roses are plentiful and the demand takes up "most of them, but prices are not up to the usual average. There sue plenty of carnations of fairly good quality, but most of them find their way to the street boys. Violets, both single and double, are coming in bet- ter and are selling fairly well. Lilies are not in large supply, but there is no demand to speak of and quantities find their outlet in the rubbish box. Vaxious Notes. The Baltimore Cut Flower Co. has handled a fine lot of single-stem Wm. Turner mums in 6-inch pots. T. J. Michell, of Philadelphia, was in town last week. J. C. Bartell says business is pick- ing up. Chas. Siegwart has some of the finest Wm. Turner mums seen here this season. Chas. J. Bolgiano, of J. Bolgiano & Son, was operated on for appendicitis at the Union Protestant infirmary last week and at present is getting along as well as can be expected. ■ ■ - E. C. Milburn is shipping some good single violets to the Pennock - Mee- han Co. L. H. Klein, of Towson, is cutting some good Appleton mums. H. J. Qufck has a fine collection of ppmpoh'mums in over 100 different va- rieties and he thinks so well of this type he is dropping the other varieties entirely. The Leo Niessen Co. reports a ready sale for good Beauties in spite of the large supply of mums. The annual Maryland week exhibi- tion opened at Fifth Regiment Armory November 17, with an address by Presi- dent Graham. The exhibition of flow- ers 8^d fruits surpassed anything for- merly shown.

Light is Life to growing plants But under Sunlight Double Glass Sash they are never darkened by mats or shutters. Consider this The old style single layer sash have but a single layer of glass which ad- mits the sun, but cannot exclude the cold or retain the heat unless covered with mats and shutters. These extra covers cost twice as much as an extra layer of glass and they must be put on and off daily. It takes two men or a man and wife to lift the soggy mats and heavy shutters. This is pure waste of labor and ex- pense as well as light. Now consider that the Sunlight Double Glass Sash have ttuo layers of glass enclosing an air space ^ inches thick, through which the sun's fays pass, but not the cold from without q^ the stored watmth from within. Put the Sash on your hot-bed or cold frame, and it is complete. All that remains to do is to prop up the sash on bright or warm days. A child can'do this.

The weather has been so warm that the demand for flowers has been stifled and were it not for the street men, the growers would have but little outlet. Chrysanthemums rule the market, but the price on these is low, except in the best grades, for which there is prac- tically no demand. William Turner could not be moved at $2 per dozen, although of excellent quality. Sweet peas are good and in fair demand. Bouvardia was to be seen in all colors last week, but few sales were reported. Carnations have improved greatly in both quantity and quality. The best are bringing $2 per hundred. The mar- ket is flooded with rubrum lilies, but' no one wants them. Violets continue scarce and are generally of poor qual- ity. Paper Whites are more plentiful and are offered at $3 per hundred, but meet with little sale. The call for valley has been good and the stock is excellent. Among the newcomers of the week was mignonette. Various Notes. The Noyes funeral last week served to clean up the supply of cattleyas and made necessary a number of large pur- chases in other cities, also helping to clean up valley to some extent, and speeding up the sale of white roses. Among the visitors last week were E. H. Flood, of Alco, Md.; J. J. Grulle- mans, Jr., of Lisse, Holland, and Jo- seph J. Goudy, George C. Watson and C. S. Ford, all of Philadelphia. Gude Bros. Co. furnished an unusual decoration recently in the form of an old-fashioned country wedding, near Dickerson Station, in the Sugar Loaf mountains of Maryland. At the church the entire ceiling was masked with au- tumn foliage, and fir trees, evergreens and southern smilax were used in large quantities. The decorations of the house were similar to those of the church. At the rear a large room of canvas was lined with fir trees, autumn leaves and smilax. Cornstalks and wheat and rye straw played a promi- nent part. in the decorations. The work was in charge of Will Smith and others sent down from Washington, while the whole was directly under the supervi- sion of W. F. Gude. C. L. L.

The Florists' Review 9i Vital Framing Points NOT even the most expert bridge building engineer of the country could tell by simply "looking a big iron bridge over," whether it would stand the load and strain it was built to. He would have to do some tall figuring and checking up of stress and strain diagrams before he could even begin to form an opinion. Regardless of this fact, lots of the growers are buying big greenhouses of firms who employ no skilled green- house engineers who can mathematically and scientifically figure out the stitngth of a construction, and prove up, point by point, its sufficient strength. In the August 29 issue of Florists' Exchange, we tell some things about this section above, that will be a decided surprise to most of you. Take time to look it up. If you don't take the Exchange, let us know and we will send you a proof of the ad. It would be too bad to miss it. Tof4>uBqn>hain(o.

The Florists' Review i»m0im-m$^>mm0m Wholesiale Price List of Christmas Evergreens -FROM- F. B. WOOLEY 152 Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The Leading Wholesale Evergreen Dealer in Philadelphia ^■^ The BuccesB, satisfaction and consequent demand for Christmas Greens of my pack has been so pronounced since I entered the field in a jobbing way several years ago, that I concluded to publish this advertisement for the infoimation and assistance of the Leading Florists and Dealers, and it is submitted herewith primarily with the hope, of course, of securing your future business. A trial order will convince you. HOLLY For several years I had been buying my holly from dealers or packers in Delaware and Maryland. People out and pack holly jtist before Christmas and bring it to the station to sell, and in order to get a car load at any one station, I was often compelled to buy from sometimes a dozen different people. Some of them cut it in short sprigs and have good, bright holly, while others cut long branches, poor holly and very few berries. This was very unsatisfactory to me. so a few years ago I decided to buy the trees as they stood in the woods, cut and pack it myself, or at least have my own men do so, and in this manner I cut only what suits me, and grade It to suit my trade. I have secured for this season some of the finest swamp holly trees there are to be found in the State of Delaware. I cut sixteen (16) car loads last season and it was impossible to fill my late orders satisfactorily. However, I did the best I could, and only had one party return a few cases as unsatisfactory. I expect to cut at least twenty- five (25) car loads this season. The weather has been favorable and there is plenty of good holly, and It is well berried. Kindly let me have your orders early. I will have it cut and packed as usual, in regular size cases, 2x2x4, and I positively guarantee it as represented in every particular. My first car will arrive in Philadelphia on Tuesday, December 1st, and the price same as before, on all orders received during November, $3.00 per case F. O. B. Philadelphia. I cannot guarantee the price on orders received after December 1st. I will continue to pack, as I have done in the past, my GILT-EDGE BRAND. This holly is specially selected, short stemmed, dark grreen, and full of ber- ries. Guaranteed extra fancy; price, |4.00 per case. HOLLY WREATHS I have my wreaths made of the brightest dark green holly possible to secure. They are wrapped with wire on 10-inch hoops, each wreath having 4 or five clusters of bright red holly berries firmly fast- ened on them. I use nothing but the holly berries in trimming, as they do not turn black and fall off like the dog berries that several makers use because they are a little cheaper. My hoops are strong and well made, so as to stand handling. I make three gradesv priced according to weight and quality, $10.00, $12. 5Q -and $15.00 per hundred. Cases contain 100, 125, 150 wreaths. Large cases, 200 and 250; but we can pack you any quantity you may want from one dozen to one thousand. We sometimes have BOXWOOD WREATHS made the same as holly wreaths, and sell them from $10.00 to $12.50 per hundred.

The Review believes its own business but reflects the situa- tion with the trade at large — the great body of, florists, not a group or section of them, for The Review draws its patronage from the four corners of our country. Why The Review Gives Thanks. This has been a season of decreasing circulation for all publications except the penny dailies — but The Review has been an exception to the rule. Its subscription receipts in August were the largest ever known for the month. It was the same in Septem- ber. The gain in October was not quite so good, but nevertheless there was a gain. And November to date has run ahead. These have been mail subscriptions — which, as every advertiser should know, are the best kind. No solicitors are employed, nor has any extra effort been made by mail. The growth has been the natural result of printing a good paper and it has continued at a time when nearly all publications have been going backward.

But Sep- tember made it up and October broke all records for the month. Broke rec- ords, mind you, in* a month that showed a shrinkage for almost |very trade paper in America. It would never have been possible had not conditions in the trade been better than they were in most other lines.. There, have been scarcely any fail- ures among florists this fall, where the * apparel trades have had a holocaust and where other lines have suffered keenly. It should teach the world to appreciate the substantial character of those engaged in the business of pur- veying to the needs of the better side of the people. And it should make florists thankful they are florists, for it seems assured that the future of the business is secure. STOBINO DAHLIAS IN WINTER Please inform me how to keep dahlia bulbs during the winter. I have sev- eral hundred stored under a bench in the boiler room. The bulbs have been there t#o weeks and I noticed, that most of them are shriveling somewhat. Does this harm the bulbs? Would they keep better if placed in barrels or boxes and covered with soil? I have no room for them in my cellar. When is the best time to divide the bulbs, and how is this done? Mv location is central Alabama. " H. G. C. You must move your dahlias at once, or tiicy will ije fompletely ruined. When the tubers begin to shrivel, it is the beginning of the end. Dahlias need a cool, dry cellar, where no furnace heat is ever used; one which will keep po- tatoes will answer;, admirably for dahlias. Try to find room in your cel- lar for them. If you have no shelves to lay them on, try the plan of wrap- ping the tubers in sheets of news- papers and packing them in barrels. These barrels can be stood on top of one another and will not take up much room. The tubers can . be divided ^ny time after the l^st of March. If you sell dormant roots, a month later will be sufficiently early in your climate. Leave one portion of tuber and an eye to each set. This is easily done by using a strong, sharp knife. If started plants are wanted, place the tubers in the greenhouse a month before you need them. _ C. W. RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING NEW WINDOWS FEOM OLD. A suggestion for window decorators who are on the lookout for something a little different from the usual run of window displays may be obtained from the one by James G. Crozer, of Cedar Rapids, la., which is reproduced on this page. Mr. Crozer places a high esti- mate on the advertising value of win- dow decorations, and not without good reason, for, he reports, a display com- posed of a violet bed, made up of the bunches, with a card reading, "We pick them while you wait, ' ' was the means of his selling 500 bunches in one day in a town of 40,000. For this reason Mr. Crozer goes to some pains in the decorating of his window. He has increased the possibili- ties of variation by the simple expe- dient of buying "build-ups" from the window dressers of the department stores. After they have been used in the department stores he gets them for little money and adapts them for his uses. In order to secure further vari- ation from the ordinary florist's dis- play, the figure in the window shown herewith was obtained from one of the dry goods merchants of the town in return for the privilege of displaying his card in the window stating that the draping was done by the dry goods con- cern. In this case the figure was draped in yellow. On the stand beside it was a vase of Russell roses, below a few orchids, and on the floor two or three bunches of violets. For a background a few vases of chrysanthemums of the largest size were used. "I did not try to get a showing of every flower that we had in stock," says Mr. Crozer, "but rather kept away from placing too much in the window. I believe that as a rule florists make a mistake by trying to get too much of a variety of stock in their displays." Not only was the window a drawing card in itself, but, in addition, the local papers, without solicitation, took occa- sion to make mention of the display, to the extent of what would have been about $10 worth of space, says Mr. Crozer, had he gone to the expense of purchasing it. WHAT THE OBOOM PBOVIDES. Will you kindly advise us what flowers the groom provides for a wed- ding? Does he always furnish the bridesmaids' flowers? We want to know just the proper thing in the mat- ter of furnishing flowers for a wedding — what the groom furnishes and what is provided by the bride or her family. S. F. C. It is the experience of the florists who cater to the "400" and others of the class which adheres most strictly to the social conventions that the bride- groom furnishes only the flowers for the bride; that is, the bride's bouquet. The bride's parents provide the church or home decorations and the flowers for the bridesmaids and maid of honor, al- though the bouquet for the maid of honor is sometimes provided by the bride herself. There are instances in which the groom has provided the flowers for the bridesmaids, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Social conventions, like most arbitrary rules, are as easily broken as observed, according to the exigencies of the case, but for the wedding which is conducted * ' according to Hoyle, ' ' the bridegroom purchases only his bride's bouquet. TO CABBY THE CBOOK. A subscriber asks for an illustration of the- correct way for a bridesmaid to carry a shepherd's crook. But, unfor- tunately, none such is available. If some other reader can supply the pic- ture The Review will do the rest. By the way, what is the correct way to carry a shepherd's crook?

If any reader knows some simple, practical means that can be employed by florists, please send it in for publication. THE ART NOUVEAU. The furniture and fixture men have gone clean daft on the "period" craze — we cannot buy a bed to sleep in, much less fit up a store, without having them load us up with a lot of talk about Louis Seize, the Renaissance, and a lot of other "punctuation" stuff. We don't know what they are talking about, but the funny part of it is they usually get away with it and if we don't sleep we work in the surrounding^s of Louis XIV or the Colonial ))eriod. Odd how many Colonial Flower Shops have bloomed the last year or two — it 's close to one a week — and most of them are right neat stores, too. Take the one shown in the accompanying illustration — it's Colonial in name and colonial in style, and it certainly looks all right. Everything is in keeping, from the cor- ner posts on the icebox to the hand- made rag rugs on the floor. Anybody entering such a store would expect to pay for art as well as flowers. This Colonial Flower Shop was opened October 10, at the corner of Delaware avenue and Chippewa street, in Buffalo, N. Y. The proprietors are A. Kowaski KNOBLE PREDICTS A BOOM. The Cleveland Press is publishing a series of statements regarding business conditions and prospects by the retail merchants of the city. Second in the series was one from H. P. Knoble, retail florist — "High Pressure" Knoble they translate the initials in Cleveland. This is it: "I predict that business conditions in 1915 will be better than ever before, for many reasons. On the rise of the tide of prosperity every business insti- tution has a tendency to overproduce or overpurchase, until the surplus ac- cumulation is so great that a continu- ation would ultimately spell utter ruin or bankruptcy. When a halt is called, we have what is generally known as hard times or business depressions. These lasting over a period sufficiently long to consume the surplus created, at the ebb of the period of depression business men realize that it is time to wake ujt, resume activities and l)e pre- pared for the orders that are bound to come, from the mere f/ielf, that every- thing has been consumed j*during this stage of inactivity. .;*■ . , "Adding to the nohnial demand, which will come from ^5i'ery source, there will be the influx of trade from the European countries, now busily engaged in deadly warfare. It must also be taken into consideration that many things heretofore imported will, on account of the present law of aeces- sity, be manufactured in thts country. These items collectively would repre- sent an enormous industry individually. ' * Citing only these two reasons, I presume to predict that, starting im- mediately, this country will enter upon an era of prosperity such as it has never known before. I cannot help but feel that these periods of depres- sion and prosperity follow each other naturally, just as night follows day, rest follows labor, vegetation becomes dormant in winter and active in sum- mer. "Those who will take advantage of the many opportunities offered through the great medium, publicity, will surely reap their just reward." CAROLINA CONCERN'S STORE. That the florists south of Mason and Dixon's line are not behind their north- ern fellow tradesmen as regards the up-to-date appearance of their stores and those marks of enterprise that in- dicate the presence of the hustling busi- ness man is instanced by the view of the shop of Scholtz the Florist, Inc., of Charlotte, N. C, given on page 14. This store, at 306 North Tryon street, has all of the modern conveniences, and, under the guidance of Manager E. P. Scholtz, is doing a thriving business. The conservatory in the re?,r, shown at the left of the illustration, is a most useful adjunct for showing plants, a constant supply of which is on hand, from the greenhouses of Manager Scholtz 's brother, W. T. Scholtz, pro- Itrietor of the Charlotte Floral Co. J. I. McCallum is secretary of the company, and F. W. Miller, a graduate of the fa- mous establishment of Gude Bros. Co., at Washington, B.

Butler County Fair Exhibit of the Heiser Nursery & Floral Co. signer. The company is enteriug its teqth year and advancing in business with the natural growth of this thriv- ing city. HEISEB OF HAMILTON. The accompanying illustration shows the display made at this year's Butler county fair, Hamilton, O., by the Heiser Nursery & Floral Co. It was this con- cern's first attempt at an exhibition, as the business was taken over only a year ago on the retirement of Theo. Bock, now deceased, long in the business at Hamilton, The display consisted mostly of potted plants, hanging bas- kets, porch boxes and bulbs for autumn planting. In bulbs something of a spe- cialty has been made of daffodils, last season 30,000 being flowered for whole- sale markets. Peony roots have been shipped in considerable quantity this month as a result of a classified adver- tisement in The Review. Three houses of Primula malacoides, about 10,000 plants, now are in preparation. The illustration shows Karl W. Heiser, head of the concern, and his son, 13 years old, who hopes soon to become his father's right-hand man. PLANTENO HAEDY PERENNIALS. Advantages of Fall Planting. The month of November is an excel- lent time to transplant many hardy perennials. The ground in which these are to be planted should always be liberally manured and deeply plowed or spaded in advance. There are some perennials which should not be planted in the fall. These include varieties of more or less doubtful hardiness in the colder states, such as pompon chrysan- themums, kniphofias. Anemone Japon- ica, inearvilleas, Helianthus multiflorus plenus, Pyrethrum hybridum. Lobelia cardinalis and a few others, but phloxes of all kinds, delphiniums, hemerocallis, veronicas, physostegias, irises, peonies, aquilegias and many other varieties do vastly better if fall planted. Irises and peonies, of course, do better if planted in September, but stock planted now will be found much superior to that left over until spring. There is a continuous growth in the hardy perennial industry. People are appreciating them more everywhere, and every wide-awake grower should be prepared toi cater to this taste. It is a great advantage to do as much as possible of this work now, rather than defer everything until spring, when work of all kinds almost overwhelms us. Recommend fall planting for this kind of stock; the soil is in better condition than in the spring and, if the stock has to be bought, nurserymen can fill orders much more promptly now than later. Perennials for Catting. Many florists are looking for a boiled down selection of hardy perennials that are useful for cutting. For the benefit of such florists this list is appended: Anemone Japonica alba, hardy asters, astilbes, campanulas, Achillea Ptarmica Perry's White, aquilegias, aconitums, boltonias, irises in all varieties, del- phiniums, dictamnus, Lupinus polyphyl- lus; Clematis recta, single and double; Gypsophila paniculata, single and double; Chrysanthemum maximum or Shasta daisies, pompon chrysanthemums, Oonvallaria majalis, digitalis or fox- glove, eupatoriums. Euphorbia corol- lata, Galium boreale, heleniums, helian- thus, rudbeckias, kniphofias, phloxes, veronicas, thalictrums, sweet Williams, spiraeas, statices, Stokesia cyanea, peonies, pentstemons, Physostegia • Vir- ginica, lychnis, Lysimachia clethroides, Lathyrus latifolius White Pearl, core- opsis and pyrethrums. The following among nearer introduc- tions will be found valuable: Thalictrum dipterocarpum; Chrysanthemum Autumn Glory, Rosy Gem and the newer forms of maximum; Clematis recta flore pleno, Gypsophila paniculata flore pleno, Phlox Arendsi, Geum coccineum Mrs. Brad- shaw, Lupinus pollyphyllus Moerheimi; Astilbe, Arendsi hybrids, Davidii and grandis; Delphinium King, of Delphini- ums, Belladonna semipleim and Rev.

Strohlein; Kniphofia Brilliant and John Benary; Aster Feltham Blue, Peter's White, St. Egwin and Beauty of Coiwall, and Iris interregna. For Carpeting or Bordering. For carpeting or bordering, these varieties will be found excellent: Viola cornuta alba and V. cornuta purpurea, which bloom from May to November; Dianthus caesius or Cheddar Pink, Napo- leon III, deltoides or Maiden Pink, and diadematus or Diadem Pink; Cam- panula Carpatica, blue and white; Ar- meria Laucheana, or Sea Pink; Ajuga reptans and A. reptans variegata; Phlox subulata, divaricata and amoena; Linum perenne; Iberis sempervirens or hardy candytuft; Funkia undulata variegata and F. aurea marginata; Alyssum saxatile compactum and Aster alpinus.

Will you please tell me bow deep gladiolus bulbs should be planted for best results? Also, please tell me the best way to support the flower stalks. I refer, of course, to growing such vari- eties as America, etc., under glass. G. R. N. Plant the tubers four to five inches deep. If they are planted at this depth, the flower stalks will need no supports. In growing them outdoors, if you will plant them six inches deep, supports will not be needed. If you plant more shallow, the stems will be bent and blown over. C. W. IRRIGATING GLADIOLUS FIELDS. How seven acres of gladiolus fields, comprised in the Gardens of Avon, at Avon, la., a little station eight miles southeast of Des Moines, are irrigated by the overhead pipe system formed the sub.iect of an article by W. J. Den- nis in the November issue of Successful Farming. This establishment, as well as its owner. Dr. William Carpenter, of Des Moines, is well known to the trade. It is estimated that a million and a half bulbs will have been propagated and 600,000 blooms cut from the gardens by the end of this season. The system of irrigation used con- sists of parallel lines of pipe mounted on posts six feet high. At intervals of three feet small nozzles are attached and the end of each pipe connects with a large feed pipe. Near the connection on each line a special union is provided, so that any one or any number of pipes can be used independently of the others, and so that the nozzles can be elevated to the angle desired, depending on the velocity of the wind. Water is sup- plied from points near by sunk twenty- six feet in the ground. The cost of operating the system for the seven acres is $2 per day. TRACY BULB STOCK BURNED. Fire broke out early Monday morning, November 23, in the barn of B. Ham- mond Tracy, the well known gladiolus specialist, of Wenham, Mass. After de- stroying the barn and contents, includ- ing four horses, several cows, wagons, harnesses, etc., the fire spread to the bulb houses, one of which had been com- pleted only this fall. These, with con- tents, were completely destroyed. Mr. Tracy had over twenty-five aci'es of gladif'i and has thus lost his entire stock, including all he had of- many val- .uable seedlings, to ^ajr nothing, of other new' and choice variflities. The loss is difficult to estimate, iJiit is many, thou- sands of dollars. Tlie sympathy of a host of friends goes out to ]^r. and Mrs. Tracy in their loss, bul, all are sure they will soon make gOQd d£ain. Many of the lady r^sj^tors to. the Bos.- ton convention will Jffemem\>ef their visit to the Wenham gladiolus fields, the outing in question begig in charge of Mr. TracjK His exhibits were to b© found a,t most of the recent conventions ;and national shows.

NOTES OF THE AUTUMN SHOWS QUALITY THE KEYNOTE OF THE SHOWS THIS YEAR BALTIMORE. Horticultural Society Show. The annual exhibition of the Mary- land Horticultural Society, held in the Fifth Regiment Armory November 17 to 21, was the largest and most success- ful ever held by this organization. The committee in charge was composed of: William Feast, chairman; Robt. Halli- day, Geo; Morrison, T. H. Moss, J. W. Boone and Robt. L. Graham, They were well supported by the local trade and deserved great credit for the ad- mirable arrangement of the exhibits and the show generally. The main feature of the show was the enormous vase of mums which stood in the center of the 120-foot circle given over entirely to flowers and plants. It was designed and erected by Wm. Feast, and stood on a base thirty inches high. The vase itself •was ten and a half feet high and con- tained nearly 350 mums, all of which were donated by members of the Gar- deners' and ITorists' Club of Baltimore. It was known as the club vase. Sur- rounding the vase at its base was a fltar-shaped bed of crotons arranged by the Baltimore park board. All of the plant and cut flower ex- hibits were well arranged. Some fine specimen chrysanthemum plants were shown by Mack Richmond, gardener for Mrs. W. B. Cochran, who received eleven firsts out of twelve entries in miscellaneous classes. Jas. Hamilton was awarded a cultural certificate of merit for his group of standard mum plants. Jn the cut mum classes, Chas. Sieg- wart '.s vase of twenty Wm. Turner was easily the superior of any :unong the commercial growers' entries. Gustave Lotze and M. .7. Hannigan also had some good blooms on exhibition. In the private gardeners' classes, Geo. Morrison, gardener for Mrs. Henry Howton .lacobs, took everything in sight. The roses were shown on the second day of the show, and among them the vase of twenty-five double White Kil- larney shown by Stevenson Bros, was fine. A light pink sport of this variety was also shown by them. Lehr Bros, had a vase of Thora, the light pink sport of Maryland, on the table and it was much admired. In the red class, John McCormick carried oflf the blue ribbon with twenty-five blooms of Francis Scott Key against the Prince d'Arenberg of Stevenson Bros. The latter were awarded a cultural certifi- cate of merit for a vase of Cecile Brunner. The carnation exhibit on Thursday brought out some good competition. Chas. Siegwart carried off the honors, getting three firsts out of three entries. His new seedling, Mrs. Chas. Siegwart, showed up well against Enchantress, its parent, and was an easy winner in its class. The exhibits of palms and ferns and foliage plants were well staged and some good effects were produced. Sam- uel Feast & Sons exhibited a bed of palms, colored draca'nas and spiraeas; the last-named attracted much atten- tion, .In opposition to this bed, a circle of ferns and single stem mums by Harry Ekas was much admired. The specimen ferns shown by Mack Rich- mond were well grown and deserved all the awards they received. E. A. Seidewitz won first prize in all the design work classes. R. L. Graham had two tables decorated with Mrs. Aaron Ward and Killamey roses and •fJI!'W.*"'»^'' V- V ■' " y ■9aiervatory, Schenley Park, Pittsbu^h. •; ■ 3S»' 'rPS^'f^^^V^^-'l'^ ir^^»/i'ri!nmm.if^^i>t'im!{.<^W^ ^ The Florists' Review NOVBMBBH 26, 1014.

Some growers are completely cut out and most of them are cleaning up this week. There will be a few mums until Christmas, as usual, but they will not cut much figure after this week. The prices being realized this week are as good as usually prevail at this date; in fact, there is such a demand for good, clean, small stock that this grade IS bringing excellent money. Of the fine, big late varieties there are enough 80 that prices have not advanced as sharply as they have on smaller grades. Pompons still are plentiful. The market ascribes the sudden re- turn of the brisk shipping demand to the fact that the mums through the country are pretty well finished off. If this is the case, there should be good shipping business right along. Easter lilies arc about the only item that is more abundant than heretofore. Violets are scarce and cattleyas, for the first time in weeks, are short of the demand. Some excellent bouvardia has arrived. Stevia is plentiful, and so is valley. There are more sweet peas than UBuadly is the case at this time of year. All greens are abundant. This week's issue goes to press on the day that the majority of the Thanksgiving orders are being shipped. It is too early to tell how the volume of business will compare with previous years, but it seems quite certain that the demand will equal the supply of first-class stock and there is a general feeling that normal business conditions may be expected to prevail, at least until after Christmas.

Various Notes. The American Rose Society has not yet accepted the invitation to meet in Chicago next spring. At a meeting of the executive committee in New York last week it was decided to defer action on the time and place of meeting. The sixth annual dancing party of the Gardeners' and Florists' Union, which is affiliated with the American, the Illinois and the Chicago federations of labor, was an excellent success. It was held November 21, at Wicker Park hall, 2046 West North avenue. Louis Heidtmann, 3610 North Richmond street, is secretary. The union label is the representation of a well filled fern dish. That roses will not be so scarce in January as has been the case in recent years is the firm belief of John Zech, based on the fact that a majority or growers are not in the usual crop for Thanksgiving. It is reported that the A. F. Amliug Co., of Maywood, has placed an order with Poehlmann Bros. Co. for $2,500 worth of grafted rose plants for early delivery. The employees of Kennicott Bros. Co. state that sales to November 20 were $500 ahead of the same days of the month last .year, which everyone will agree is an excellent record. C. A. Boyle, of Gallon, Mich., who is shipping large quantities of excellent red winter berries to this market, seems to have the right idea. He uses nothing but corrugated fiberboard boxes NovfeMBBB 26, 1914.

His label is on every box. With good stock and careful packing he has quickly gained the confidence of the buyers, which will be a valuable asset as long as the standard is maintained. Other shippers put red berries in all sorts of second-hand wood boxes, per- haps no two containing the same quan- tity or quality. AVith a standard estab- lished, it will be increasingly difficult to sell the shoebox shipments. A. T. Pyfer says there will be a fine sale for rooted cuttings of Peerless Pink carnation after the new year, as he has yet to hear of a grower it has not done well with. Winterson's Seed Store is sold out of field-grown carnation plants. "The little classified ad brought home the bacon, ' ' according to J. P. Degnan. The A. L. Randall Co. received its first car of holly this week. Plans have been made for a large business in Christmas greens this season. A. L. Vaughan comments on the dis- position of shippers to skimp on the quantity of boxwood in order to meet competition in prices. He suggests that purchases be made by weight only. A few months ago Fred Hunt took up his residence at Des Plaines, letting one of the men have the dwelling adjoining the greenhouses. The ship- ments, to Erne & Klingel, now come from Des Plaines instead of Park Ridge, as heretofore. Mr. Hunt is just cleaning up his mums. He will follow them with calendulas, lupines and the other ' ' old-fashioned flowers ' ' on which he specializes. The mum benches at the Poehlmaun range are rapidly being cleaned out and lilies are taking the place of the mums. Poehlmann Bros. Co. has de- voted over 125,000 square feet to Christmas plants. E. B. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn left November 22 for their home at Pasadena. They have visited relatives here since October 11. Paul Klingspom, of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, made a short trip to Kansas City last week on a personal matter. E. C. Amling thinks conditions will be about normal after Thanksgiving.

He doesn't mean the trade will have no troubles, but that they will be only the usual ones, in place of the unprece- dented combinations of circumstances that have prevailed for almost a year. The Batavia Greenhouse Co. is throw- ing out a house of Beauties to get space for propagating. O. Johnson says there is a good demand for the dis- carded Beauty plants. Fred Stollery says business is not 80 good but that it might be better, but that it is not so bad but that it might be a whole lot worse, which prob- ably is a good description of the gen- eral situation. The Wabash avenue entrance to the store of Weiland & Risch was closed last week, by the landlord's compliance with city building regulations. The firm was not inconvenienced, as a bet- ter entrance had been arranged on the Randolph street side, from the same stairway that affords access to the stores of Zech & Mann and the Batavia Greenhouse Co. November 25 Peter Reinberg resigned as president of the school board. De- cember 12 he will assume his duties as president of the county commis- sioners. His business affairs are so well organized that they bother him not at all, his only present concern being the office-seekers, for he has many important appointments to make. Henry Wehrman, at Maywood, has a fine lot of late pompons that he figures should pay well. This week W. H. Amling is cutting the last of 18,000 mums at Maywood. He will follow them with Zvolanek's Spencer sweet peas. A. I. Simmons says that business shows a good increase since he obtained his better facilities on West Sixty- third street, but that the gain has not been in funeral work. Mustaches have become the fashion with the forces of the E. Wienhoeber Co., but the boys deny it is a race. Peter Reinberg is growing sweet peas at the farm range this season and made the first pick November 22. Paul Swanson, who sold out his property on West Forty-seventh street, has again gone into the mushroom busi- ness, this time at 6530 Norwood Park avenue. He has finished two houses each 15x70 and picked about 200 pounds from them last week. Two more houses are under way. He uses wild spawn. As a rule mushroom growers have had poor success this season and prices have been quite fair for all first-class stock. N. J. Wietor points to some good Carnation Philadelphia with the re- mark that it is giving good satisfaction as a shipper. A visit to the store of Harry Rowe, on Wabash avenue, found W. H. Beau- mont, formerly with O. J. Friedman, serving his old customers there. Mr. Beaumont is one of the oldtime florists in Chicago, having started in 1868. He is slowly recovering from an acci- dent of several years ago, when a sign fell and crushed his leg. Jack Byers is back in town, after a sojourn at Galesburg The Paper Specialties Co., of Mari- nette, Wis., has patented and is manu- facturing a florists' box that is a com- bination of novelty, style, neatness and NOTBMBBB 26, 1914. « l^T-rryr-,,,-'--— --v ,^/... •^ The Florists^ Review 87 »WE OFFER A LAQGE CUT OF ^ ^ BEAUTIES ROSEiS AND CARNATIONS AS WELL AS A GOOD SUPPLY OF OTHER STOCK.

They are looking around at home and are surprised at the number of opportunities they have hitherto overlooked.

Another important question that came up for discussion was the new tax law, taxing greenhouse build- ings. Some of the greenhouse owners have reported to the assessor too high a valuation, without estimating exactly what their greenhouses are worth. A committee will be appointed to go to the county assessor's office to discuss the valuation of greenhouses according to the number of square feet of ground they cover; also the decrease of value for each additional year the green- houses have stood, the material used and its depreciation. Various Notes. R, S. Brown & Son report business excellent, especially in funeral work, which has been good all this fall. Their mums are practically cleaned up. This firm is making big preparations for spring business. The out-of-town orders for small pot plants, as holiday stock for basket work, have been heavy. Mr. Brown has his greenhouses in excellent condition and the plants at both places look clean and healthy. His wholesale business has been heavy, especially the out-of-town orders. Nelson Jarrett has a nice lot of young spring stock in his greenhouses. He reports a good business this fall, especially in 5-inch ferns. Last week William Foith cut some of the best Yellow Eaton mums ever seen in this city, and they brought him a good price. He expected to finish cutting his mums by November 25. He is cutting a fine lot of sweet peas and roses. His carnations are a little backward, but will be in heavy crop for Christmas. Mr. Foith is feel- ing a great deal better, but he still limps a little. W. J. B. ST. LOUIS. The Market.

PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The half week ending November 21 marks a eriti<'al point in the market. The first really cold weather has cut down the supply of flowers. Business is improving and prices have become firmer, with advances here and there. There are strong reasons for believing that the heavy oversupply of the fall is past and that more evenly balanced conditions will prevail. The close of business November 21 found the market in unusually good shape. There were few flowers left over and sacrifices had not been neces- sary to market the stock. Violets ad- vanced to $1 and $1.25, with prospects of increased strength. Carnations went up to $3 for select, while short-stemmed colored roses were in demand at about $3 to $4. The trading was mainly con- fined to this grade; the better roses were less sought. Chrysanthemums changed little in price; there were too many of them; but they sold better than for some time past, which will make better average prices. Sweet peas are more plentiful and in better variety. The miscellaneous flowers are ready to replace the chrysanthemums when they leave, which will not be for a week or ten days yet. A Live Topic. The meeting of the Retail Florists' Association held November 19 devel- oped another live topic for di«|CUBsion, the marking of stock to insure uni- formity of prices.

It would also inspire confidence and prevent errors. While the plan will not commend itself to all retail florists, it has so much in its favor that those who employ' un- trained or numerous assistants will find it a great help.

Now where did Daddy get that? Confidence. The following extract from Edward Keid 's price list for November 23 should be read with interest: Business is based on confidence. Have you lost yours?

What Is happening now? ■ There >8 a greater demand for food products abroad than was ever before. We are and will export more than at any time in our history. Woolen mills, shoe manufacturers and others are already feeling the effect of foreign orders. With the crippling of many lines of business abroad, cor- responding lines In this country must supply thoir necessities. Not only must our producers produce for our own great population, but also for the vast population of Europe as well. Everyone should make up his mind to prepare at once for the prosperity which is near at hand. What are you doing towards It? Beck Beproduces Bowl. Carl Reck, of John Reck & Son, Bridgeport, Conn., made a window dis- play of unusual interest in honor of the Yale-Harvard football game. It was an exact reproduction in miniature of the wonderful Yale bowl where 70,- 000 persons are estimated to have wit- nessed the game November 21. Mr. Reck went over to New Haven to see the bowl before executing his plan of reproducing it in his firm's window. Reck 's bowl was six feet long and three feet six inches wide. The gridiron field was of sheet moss, the seats and por- tals of tile. A team of eleven players in blue was opposed to a team of eleven players in crimsqn. The goal posts and side lines were exactly as they should be. A floral touch was added by bunches of violets adorning the portals in honor of Old Eli, while bunches of crimson chrysanthemums decorated the remaining half of the portals as a trib- ute to fair Harvard. The much talked of depression in this bowl playing field was faithfully reproduced. I am indebted for the description of this ingenious piece of workmanship to Robert Q. Shoch, who saw the window just before the game and felt it de- servedly scored one for Bridgeport. John Reck is credited with that now famous utterance regarding boys work- ing together: "When you have one boy, you have a boy; when you have two boys, you have half a boy; when you have three boys, you have no boy at all." Various Notes. A. L. Fortunes has a store devoted to ferns and galax at 1626 Ludlow street, where he proposes to distribute these greens to all who may desire them dur- ing the coming season. M. H. Beckley, Palmer's Corner, Pa., has erected three greenhouses, one of them 300 feet long, for carnations and bulbs. Thomas Beattie, formerly at Strafford, Pa., is foreman in charge. Robert Q.

Mr. Weaver has a bed of a new white carnation, not named as yet, which was admired by all. It has the clean, strong growing qualities of Matchless, but shows evidence of much greater freedom of bloom. At Charles M. Weaver's, sweet peas are starting to bloom, his own selection of Blanche Ferry Spencer being planted extensively; also two other varieties of his own production, one a true lavender and the other a soft shade of pink. Houses of mignonette, calendulas and wallflowers are all in fine condition. We then motored to Harry B. Weav- er's, at Bird-in-Hand, Pa. His house, 42x200, planted to carnations, presented a fine sight. Gorgeous, Benora and Matchless being exceptionally well done. White Perfection and the Wards are planted extensively. He has started to cut from a house of fine tomatoes. Our next stop was at Jacob H. Weav- er's, Witmer, Pa., where we saw the Wards in fine order; also White Perfec- tion, White Wonder and Comfort. A bed of seedling carnations w%fre of much interest; a salmon pink and a good yel« low looked like winners. A house of NOTBMBEB 26, 1014.

Some fine Primula mala- coides in 5-inch pots were noted. Chrys- anthemums Bonnaffon and Mrs. Brock, pink, were well grown. The next call was on J.

A change in the weather, which caused the killing off of all outdoor stock, resulted in shortening indoor pro- duction and stiffening prices. The ad- vance has been slight, as the demand for stock has been limited. This has been an exceptionally good year for chrysan- themums and these were brought into the market in far greater quantities than could be disposed of locally. This condition was offset to quite an extent by the demands of the south, to which large shipments w^ere made. There has been a good sale here for bronze chrys- anthemums, but at low prices. Minnie Bailey and Timothy Eaton are among the new arrivals and these, with Bon- naffon, Engiiehard and Turner, form the staples and sell at prices averaging about $12.50 per hundred. Violets are still scarce, although of good quality. Sweet peas are more plentiful and are selling well at $1 per hundred for the ordinary and $1.50 for the orchid-flow- ering varieties. Orchids are not plen- tiful, but are sufficient for all demands. Various Notes. Maggie Pooley, a gypsy, is being held under bonds of $2,000 to answer to a charge of robbery of two $100 bills from George A. Comley, florist, 1204 Wis- consin avenue, northwest. Mr. Comley testified that the woman came into his place of business and insisted upon tell- ing his fortune, for which he paid 50 cents. After she was gone he discov- ered that the money had been stolen. Money described by him was subse- quently found secreted within a loaf of bread which the woman was carrying. Mrs. J. A. Phillips, who operates The Flower Store, at 2820 Fourteenth street, northwest, met with the sad loss of her mother, Mrs. Mary A. Machen, aged 73 years. The body was taken to To- ledo, O., for burial. Andrew Glorius, 96 years of age, as- sociated for many years with his brother, the late Greorge GloriuSj who was one of the pioneer florists of Wash- ington, died last week at his home in Silver Spring, Md.

We have experienced quite a little win- ter weather, the temperature being lower than in any previous November in many years. Stock has been plenti- ful, but will probably shorten up a little on account of the cold weather. Chrysanthemums still are plentiful, but the smaller varieties, retailing at $2 and $2.50 per dozen, are becoming a little scarce. There has been quite a demand for pompons this year. Soses of all kinds are plentiful, as are car- nations, which are unusually good for this time of the year. Sweet peas are making their appearance, but the sup- ply is limited as yet. Easter lilies are not in heavy demand. Paper Whites, stevias and violets are available. Various Notes. The State Florists* Association will hold its next meeting at Richmond, De- cember 4.

Fine, snappy weather prevailed in New York as last week closed; 25 de- grees was the temperature on Satur- day. Good-bye to the outdoor flowers at last! The tide has turned and the general outlook is optimistic. The mar- ket from now on should absorb daily everything ^ood that comes to it and at better prices than have of late pre- vailed. It is still high tide with the chrysan- themums, and they are now at their best. There will be a splendid supply of them for Thanksgiving and plenty of late ones to use until Christmas, now four weeks away. The football game between Yale and -Harvard on Saturday used a large number. Some fine stock in all the popular varieties is bringing from $4 per dozen up, but these top-notchers are not numerous. Some fine flowers are still offered at $2 per dozen and under. There is a great abundance of the smaller flowers in bunches and of the pompons. Some excellent plants in pots are yet to be had, at most reasonable prices. Longiflorum lilies are firm at last week 's quotations, with an upward tendency. Valley seldom sells above $2 per hundred. No signs yet of shortage. Violets had the usual rise for the Yale game, $1.25 being the quotation for selected stock. Some of the wholesal- ers claimed for the specials an even higher figure. Good prices are sure for Thanksgiving and may hold until Afeaadaotly prcHfti ■! ■II tines.

Gardenias have now risen to $3 per dozen for the best, and the improvement in quality is marked. Carnations are higher, the fine stock touching $3 per hundred. There are plenty of them now in all kinds and grades. Orchids are stronger and ad- vancing slowly. There will no longer be a surplus, and the number of va- rieties increases. Sweet peas and dai- sies are here in quantity, and lilac is the latest acquisition. Eoses are now perfect in quality. Prices are advancing. The lower grades are less in number and higher in value. The new varieties grow constantly in popularity. American Beauties are once more climbing. Bowling. Thursday evening, November 19, the New York Florists' Bowling Club made the scores given below.

A letter received by Harry Bunyard last Friday was full of courage, and a telephone message from Overlook hos- pital on Saturday, from Mrs. Totty to Joseph Fenrich, gave every hope of continued improvement. Many of his New York friends are visiting him. Harry Goldberg, for six years with A. T. Boddington, joined the force of the Knight & Struck Co. November 23. At the store of E. J. Polykranas, 665 Columbus avenue, one of the oldest in upper New York, Mrs. Polykranas is now in sole charge, her husband having taken the management of the United Cut Flower Co. The windows of the store are decorated daily. Prizes are given to her artists for the most origi- nal effects, the public deciding. Her son is now her "right-hand man." Their automobile decoration at the tri- centenary parade was by many consid- ered as beautiful as any in the proces- sion. Malandre Bros, now have three stores in New York. In the Broadway store a brother of Chas. Schenck, the wholesale florist, is the head designer. David Clarke's Sons have had a busy fall, with many weddings. Their Avin- dows are filled with the latest designs in basket decoration. Palms and ferns are renewed weekly from their own greenhouses. At Warendorff 's, decorated cork bas- kets of their own construction are the novelty for Thanksgiving. H. H. Berger & Co. ar3 busy on their new catalogue and are rushed with fall shipments, their kentia seeds, 250,000 of them, having' just arrived. Chas. F. Meyer is now visiting his western customers. Chas.

The near approach of Thanksgiving always gives the market a somewhat improved tone, and this is, no doubt, re- sponsible for such advances as have taken place within the last few days. There is no decided uplift. The demand, while a little better than it has been, lacks snap, and Thanksgiving prices seem likely to average lower than usual this season. Chrysanthemums continue in overwhelming supply and prices are somewhat discouraging. With many growers mums are unusually late this season, due probably to the warm fall, and quite a few will linger until Christ- mas. Bonnaffon continues easily the leader. Other sorts much in evidence are White Bonnaffon, Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Patty, Intensity aid Boman Gold. Among pompons Mrs. Frank Beu sells unusually well; also Diana and Julie Lagravere. These and the singles are much in favor, Boses are doing somewhat better, due in some measure to reduced supplies, but there is no particular Thanksgiving advance. Ophelia is popular everywhere. Eichmond, Crimson Queen and Hadley are now selling well; so are Bussell, Shawyer and Ward. The last named is of better color than Sunburst. Beau- ties show a slight advance. Carnations are oflf crop with many growers; being in shorter supply helps to improve the price. Single violets with the majority of growers are flowering sparsely. Dou- bles are little grown here and it looks like a light crop of violets here until the end of January. Some nice cosmos still comes in. Pink snapdragon is more plentiful. Yellow marguerites are of better quality and sell well. Gardenias and cattleyas are each in moderate de- mand. There is a little more activity in pot plant trade. . Cyclamens, Erica melan- th^a, Otaheite oranges, primulas, be- gonias, azaleas and poinsettias are all seen in addition to chrysanthemums.

Boyle, of Maiden, in addition to roses, has a good selection of chrysan- themums. He is strong on pompons and finds Mrs. Frank Beu, Source d'Or and Julie Lagravere good sellers. He is one of the few growers still producing good Jerome Jones. There is no better late white mum than this on the market today. S. J. Goddard still finds Gloriosa a profitable carnation and has superb flow- ers of it. Champion and Matchless are good with him, as are Pink Delight, Benora, White Wonder, White Perfec- tion, Yellow Prince and Yellowstone. The best snapdragon I have seen this season is that coming from Paul E. Rich- wagen, of Needham. The variety is Virginia and the color is a rich pink. Mr. Richwagen also has good Roman Gold mums. McAlpine & McDonald are handling a full line of florists' supplies and find business good. I noticed fine Ward roses and Chrysanthemum Intensity and Yellow Eaton from S. J. Renter. William A. Riggs, of Auburndale, is sick in bed, suffering from neuralgia in the head. We all hope he may soon be around again. Among the chrysanthemums which H. W. Vose has in fine shape for Thanks- giving are: Chieftain, Bonnaffon, En- guehard, Patty and Maceo, He is also cutting Paper Whites in quantity. A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, had the first stevia in the market, November 21. He also is sending good bachelor's but- tons and snapdragons. In carnations he still finds Victory good in his sandy soil. R. E. Wadsworth & Co. grow all the best carnations and do them well, in- cluding Pocahontas, Champion, Match- less, Gtorgeous, White Wonder and Benora. They are cutting a good lot of Spencer sweet peas, also mignonette, snapdragons, single and pompon mums. Among W. H.

All are low, bushy and splendidly flowered, needing no Penn's sent special messengers to New York November 20 with floral de- signs for the funeral of Foster Coates, of the Hearst newspapers. They are advertising heavily in all the leading Boston dailies for Thanksgiving and are optimistic as to the outcome. Henry Penn is surprised and pleased at the numerous answers he has received from retailers relative to advertising. Some letters the writer had the privilege of reading were lengthy, but contained con- siderable logic. Henry J. Haas, formerly salesman for W. H. Elliott at the Cooperative Market, started November 23 to represent N. F. Comley, Del Cartwright and Elijah Cart- wright at the same market. Peter Fisher is sending fine flowers of Alice, Gorgeous, White Enchantress and Beacon to Geo. H. Noyes. W. D. Howard, of Milford, sends Mr. Noyes the flnest Mrs. Ward carnations I have seen this season, also excellent Pink Delight, White Wonder, White Enchant- ress and a salmon sport from Winsor. The last meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club for 1914 comes De- cember 15. The annual election of of- ficers invariably draws a large crowd and the additional attraction of a ste- reopticon lecture on greenhouse con- struction by W. R. Cobb should still further increase the attendance. IJdward Bingham, of Dedham, who is LOUISVILLE, KY. AU0U8T R.

Members Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association excellent clean-up in Dutch bulbs this season. Several representatives of Dutch bulb firms are now canvassing in this section. Growers are disposed, however, to hold off a while, although prices are made tempting. J. J. McHugh, of Arlington; G. P. Russell, of Woburn; J. T. Gale, of Tewksbury, and J. Shannon & Son, of Woburn, are all sending in fine single violets this season. Mr. Gale also grows doubles well. D. F. Hutchinson & Son, of Lexington, are carnation specialists, growing about 30,000, but also do mums well. Their Razer and Bonnaffon are extra good. Alex Porter, of Woburn, also does Bon- naffon finely. The Harvard-Yale football game did not help cut flower trade as much as usual this season, owing to the game being played at New Haven. Splendid crimson mums went begging at $1 per dozen, which should have sold for $3 and $4. W. N. C. NEWPOBT, B.

Philippe de Vilmorin, of Vilmorin- Andrieux & Co., Paris, who was ap- pointed interpreter with the Anglo- Indian army in France, recently was called to London to serve on the inter- national commission of army supply. On the steamer Alexandra, from Co- penhagen, which reached New York No- vember 17, were 505 packages of seeds and roots. Twelve were consigned to J. M. Thorburn & Co. and the remainder to the Erie Railroad Co. On the same boat were 1,400 bags of sugar beet seed. Jacques Hasslach, St. Remy de Provence, France, states that the French government has forbidden exporting seeds to the countries with which France is at war. This leaves French houses with considerable quantities of stock grown for German and Austrian cus- tomers which must be sold in England or America. Forty-five bags of seed and 266 cases of bulbs and plants consigned to Boston seedsmen arrived at that port on the steamer Amsteldyk from Rotterdam No- vember 11. The consignments were di- rected to Thos. J. Grey Co., Jos. Breck & Sons Co., T. D. Downing & Co., R. & J. Farquhar & Co. and Fottler, Fiske, Raw- son Co. Mrs. M. W. Johaxsen, secretary of the Victor Johansen Seed Co., Los An- geles, Cal., is a Chicago visitor this week, on a business trip that will include New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, New Orleans and St. Louis. Because of the war, she says, the seed trade is more deeply interested in California flower seeds than ever be- fore. A deal involving decided speculative advantages was consummated last week by the Bushnell-Pommer Seed Co., of St. Louis, when it acquired the northwest corner of Chestnut street and Jefferson avenue. The intersection of these two streets will be one of the most important points on the proposed central traffic parkways. The amount paid was not made public. This company two weeks ago purchased a corner at Main and Olive streets. SEEDSMEN'S LEAGUE. The annual meeting of the "Wholesale Seedsmen's League was held at New York November 24.

The Florists^ Review 61 Special Exceptional Announcement First-class Vegetable and Flower Seeds, Sweet Peas, Aster. APPEAL TO THE TRADE: The recent decree of the French goverament, forbidding all trading with the enemy, put our Provence seed growing people in an anxious situation. During many years I was growing, with the aesistance of well chosen, clever and honest cultivators, big and numerous sorts of seeds for the enemy. These seeds are now lying here to be sold. I therefore beg to make appeal to the British seeds- men, both of England and colonies, to take a friendly, sympathetic and patriotic view of it by passing me your order.

Bat it is a better substitute than any flower you can sub- stitute for an Easter Lily. Growers who do without Easter Lilies all through the year, will soon do without certain orders all through the year. The American public do not like to take substituted articles — you may sell them something else once — but when they want lilies next time, they will be sure to go where they can get them. And why should you not have lilies all the time? Nothing you can grow is so appropriate for many purposes as lilies, and nothing is more profitable if you handle them right. Why every florist does not have lilies all the time is beyond us, and you have no more excuse for not having them than a grocer has for being out of sugar. If you have no room, buy the cut flowers of reliable commission houses or growers, but have them — all the time. To those who can grow their own we recommend Horseshoe Brand bulbs— be- cause we know they are better than the average brand and will give satisfactory results when properly handled. Write us. Prices reasonable. RALPH M. WARD & CO. THE LILY HOUSK 71 Murray Street NEW YORK Not How Cheap, but How Qood :§. - (■:^<-, .^v ^.•njTi^vr ^rv-' 62 The Florists^ Review NOTBUBEB 26, 1914.

The passing of mums gives every florist idle space. It also brings one of the best seasons in which to start a bench of snap- dragons. If you have space we can supply the goods— fine, stocky, well branched plants of my famous SILVER PINK SEEDLINGS. They will give you more profit to the square foot than anything you can grow, and will furnish blossoms when you most need them. Price for immediate shipment, only $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. Less than 100, 5c each. Pure seed of same, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. It is not too early to begin sowing for spring sales of plants in blossom. Remember, we grow snaps, and also offer plants of white at $4.00; of yellow at $5.00; and of our charming new one, Garnet Gem, $8.00. Our stock is healthy and quality XX.

This is what occurred this week at the wholesale store of S. Murata & Co. The mums here are holding out well and the firm is specially strong on fine valley. A party of ten, including K. Groen, Walter Garbett and wife, R. Overstreet and wife and all the staflf at Darling's Plower Shop, spent an enjoyable Suu- ilay in deep-sea fishing last week, H. N. Gage started out this week on the kite-shaped track for San Ber- nardino and other cities. He says November business at the store is away ahead of last year. ♦ Fred Sperry reports shipping busi- ness as improving right along at the establishment of the L. A. Floral Co. Mrs. Garrett, of Eagle Eock, now con- signs her stock to him and is consider- ing the growing of novelties exclusively for Mr. Sperry next season. Tony Tassano, of Tassano Bros., Inc., has returned from a northern business trip. I saw the first holly of the sea- son here and it looks fine; also some of the finest smilax I have ever seen in this market, presumably from their Glendale nursery. A. V. Amet has started in business at Santa Monica, under the name of the Mountain View Nurseries. Mr. Amet is a young man with some knowl- edge of the business and more than a little energy, and all will wish him success in his venture. H. R. Richards. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. The long hoped for frost having ar- rived, the florists are now looking for better business. Trade has been rather quiet. Stock is of excellent quality. Some fine mums are coming into this market. All varieties are about two weeks earlier than in former years. Carnations are still in oversupply, but are cleaning up better than for several weeks past. Violets are im- proving in quality, the California stock being used exclusively in this city. BoBes are selling well and are about equal to the demand. Various Notes. On a recent visit to A. A. Hinz's retail establishment I found things in excellent condition. This firm has had some good decorations of late, one of them being under way at that time. The Hayden-Watson Co. held a chrysanthemum show at the store on C street last week, A large number of fine blooms of the best seasonable vari- eties were shown. The Smith Floral Co. is showing some extra fine potted stock and reports business good. J. L. S. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. In spite of all the drawbacks that are put in the way of business by some members of the trade who should set better examples, there was fair busi- ness along all lines last week.

While the sale of chrysanthemums is none too brisk, most other flowers are moving well. Carnations are still in oversupply and the ridiculously low prices that have prevailed of late have a tendency to decrease their use. Eoses are of fine quality and meet the popular de- mand. Quantities of Paper Whites are now offered, but the prices at which they are sold do not give much encour- agement to the growers. Bulbs for outside planting have been selling bet- ter than usual this season and such sales are advantageous to the trade, as they relieve the congestion of forced flowers that usually comes in the spring. Various Notes. Chris. Jodhimsen returned home No- vember 16 from the Seattle General hospital after an operation. The florists are having great bouts at the bowling alleys now. Ealph Richardson contends he is the champion at duck pins, but Buxton and Tomlin dispute his claims and the allies look like winning. The heavy wind storm of November 12 caused some damage to most of the greenhouses, and repairs were in order last week. T. W. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. A few light frosts have helped the situation by hurting the outdoor flow- ers. Cooler weather has retarded the blooming of the carnations and mums, so that fairly normal conditions pre- vail. Some excellent mums are to be seen. Among the varieties most favored are Eaton and Yellow Eaton, W, H. Chadwick and Golden Chadwick, Maud Dean, Golden Eagle and Mrs. Jerome Jones. Among the pompons, Mrs. Frank Beu and Klondyke are most popular. The pompous seem still to be the favor- ites. Roses remain normal in supply, with a fair demand. The best now seen are Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, Richmond, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Milady, Ophelia and Killarney. Violets are not so plentiful and the California-grown stock predom- inates. The demand for palms, ferns and dec- orative plants has slacked up a little and the trade in blooming plants has increased. Cyclamen, Primula obconica, potted mums and Lorraine and Cincin- nati begonias are seen everywhere. Oregon rose stock is now being lifted at the nurseries. Club MeetiniT- The regular meeting of the Portland Floral Society was held November 17 and was well attended. The main dis- cussion arose over the question of the part the club should take in prepar- ing special and permanent exhibits of flowers on the streets and in the win- dow boxes of business houses. The committee that had the matter in hand reported that it had interviewed the manager of this part of the rose fes tival and that he wanted definite in- formation as to just what the club would do. The expressions of approval of the proposed plan showed that the members were ready to do something special to beautify the city and the fommittee can now make a favorable report to the rose festival managers. It was reported that the present Ore- yon laws do not permit the removal of shrubs or plants, once set in the ground, CALIFORNIA VIOLETS Our Famous Winter Brand— Grown Especially for Shipping- Get Your Shipments Direct From the Growers Our Winter Brand Violets can be successfully shipped on a six days' journey, arriving in good salable condition.

Will you kindly let me know what kind of fertilizer is the best for Aspara- gus plumosus and when is the best time to apply iti Also please tell me what is the best fertilizer for sweet peas. F. A. M. Good stable manure, preferably a mix- ture of horse and cow manure, is the most satisfactory fertilizer for Aspara- gus plumosus, and a liberal quantity of this manure should be incorporated in the soil before planting. After the plants are established, two or three top- dressings of manure may be given at intervals during the season as the crop requires it. The same fertilizer is satisfactory for sweet peas, and the crop will be im- proved by an occasional dressing of sheep manure after the sweet peas begin to flower. W. II. T. FEEENNIALS FOR CUTTING. I am going to start a retail place and want to plant about one acre for cut flowers for funeral work and for sale in the market when flowers are scarce in the greenhouse, from May until frost in the fall. I should like to know what are the best varieties for this purpose and when to plant them. The soil is a clay loam with a sandy subsoil. The location is southern Ohio. E. H. Hardy perennials, as a general rule, do much better if planted in the fall than in the spring. Of course there are a few exceptions. You will find that when you can plant in October or even early November, you will get far better results than by waiting until spring. If you are planting as much as an acre it would pay you to raise many of the varieties from seed. If these are started under glass in February, many would bloom the first year and all would do so the following year. For spring and early summer these varieties are desirable: Doronicum Clusii, Myosotis sylvatica; digitalis, or Select Christmas Plants Besronla Gloire de Lorraine Well shaped, beautiful plants.

Mr. Arter, who is manager of Electric park at Plainfield, has done landscape work in his town for several years. Not only does State Forester Barton intend enlarging the state nursery at Louisville, Ky., from which 1,000 trees will be sold at cost next spring, but he also contemplates establishing another nursery at the Kentucky Normal and In- dustrial Institute. State-grown free trees or trees sold "at cost" are becoming more numerous each year. State breeding farms for pedigreed poultry, to be dis- tributed free, will doubtless come soon, and eventually state furniture factories. STOCK FBOM ROTTERDAM.

When a buyer of nursery stock, plants or seeds claims damages on ac- count of alleged deficiency, in quality, and the seller asserts that the stock, plants or seeds failed for want of proper soil, cultivation or care, it be- comes an interesting problem how to determine this issue. As a guide in such case, the Oregon Supreme Court has held, in the case of Kitchin vs. Oregon Nursery Co., 130 Pacific Re- porter 408, that testimony as to the character of the soil is not objection- able because reference is made therein to other stock thriving in similar soil; and that the issue of proper cultivation need not be settled by expert witnesses, testifying upon a scientific basis — that non-experts may testify to their ob- servations, tending to show whether Berberis Thunbergii Amurensa Privet and Ibota Privat IN ALL SIZES SOUTHSIDE NURSERIES CHESTER, VA. the failure of the stock was due to inherent defects or to the manner in which the stock was planted and culti- vated. S. IDAHO HORTICULTURAI. ACT. Upheld by SuprenUk X3ourt. In a decision lately handed down by the Idaho Supreme court in the case of State vs. Pioneer Nurseries Co., 143 Pa- cific Reporter 405, the validity of the horticultural act of Idaho was upheld. The most important provisions of the law may be summafized as follows: It is made unlawful to conduct a business of importing and selling nur- sery stock within the state without first obtaining a certificate from the state board of horticultural inspection. Ap- plication for the certificate must be accompanied by a satisfactory bond, to secure compliance with the state laws.

Section 13 reads: "Any person * • « shipping fruit trees or trees of any kind, shrubs, vines, scions, cuttings or plants within the state shall afSx to each 'package, bun- dle or parcel containing the same a dis- tinct mark, stamp or label, showing the name of the shipper or grower, the* lo- cality where grown, and the variety of said trees, shrubs, vines, grafts, scions, cuttings, plants or buds." Violation of this section is made a misdemeanor. Packages Improperly Labeled. The case which was before the Idaho court involved a suit to recover on the statutory bond given by defendant, on the ground that defendant had failed to properly label packages of ^ apple trees so as to show the true vai^ety of t^e trees. The trial court held that'tfhe law was invalid on account of technical insuflSciency of the title, but the Su- preme court reversed this holding, and, in doing so, said: "The conditions of that bond are clear and unequivocal. They require the dealer in fruit trees to faithfully demean himself as such and to 'fully comply with all the provisions' of said act, and the provisions of Section 13 of the act require the seller to mark each package with a stamp or label showing the name of the shipper or grower, the locality where grown, and the variety of the tree or shrub or vine.

It was just as obligatory tinder the provisions of said act for the seller to mark the variety of the tree as it was to give the name of the grower and the locality where grown. The legislature no doubt considered it as important to protect the purchaser in obtaining the kind or variety of tree purchased as to protect him from the diseases and pesta with which fruit trees are sometimes in- fected.

The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety held its regular monthly meeting November 19, at the Association of Commerce building. President P. A. Chopin and Secretary C. R. Panter were at their respective places and a fair number of members were present. It was decided to hold a spring flower show during th^ latter part of March, 1915. The committee to take charge will be appointed by the president at the next meeting. Judging from the interest taken by the local florists, the show is boUnd to prove a success, the more so as the affair is intended to be a general advertisement of plants, cut flowers, etc. Admission will be either free of charge or for a nominal charge. The following new committee on re- vision of by-laws, with instructions to bring in a definite report at the meet- ing in December, was appointed: Paul Abele, chairman; C. E. Panter and Eichard Eichling. Paul Abele, of Abele Bros., exhibited a nice collection of chrysanthemums, large, single and pompon. E. A. Far- ley brought fine flowers of Dr. Engue- hard and Turner grown under glass, also an elegant mixed bunch of stand- ard outdoor roses. Max Seheinuk showed good carnation plants in full bloom, -gwwn in pots. E. E. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Florists' Club Reorganized. As a result of the success of the recent flower show, the florists who engaged in its promotion have formed a permanent organization, to be Jcnown as the Syracuse Florists' Club. The officers are: President, Henry Youell; treasurer, T. J. Sullivan, and secretary, L. J. Mulhauser. The meetings are to be held every first and third Monday of the month. The next meeting will be held December 7 at Peter Kay's greenhouses, on Manlius street. Twenty members are already enrolled and it is expected- -^li* the membership roll will grow rapidly. One of the aims of the club will be an annual flower show; the affair this year proved such a success that a repetition is hoped for next year.

Violets are the next favorite, but are rather scarce and sell for 75 cents and $1 per hundred. Roses have stiffened slightly in price and carna- tions, plentiful and good, are bringing $1 to $1.50. Funeral work continues brisk and some social work adds to the general tone; Various Notes. Two judgments were entered in the Sixth District court last week against the Everett Forestry Co.

QREENHOUSB ONE POUND PRESSURE VACUUM HBATINQ SYSTEMS Greenhouse Heating. THE SLOPE OF THE RETURNS. Will you kindly tell us how the re turn pipes of a hot water system should run in order to radiate the most heat? We have a Kroeschell boiler. The main flows, after leaving the boiler, run through the middle of the houses over- head and then drop to connect with returns underneath the benches. These return pipes are the subject of dispute. Our idea was that they should have a decided downward slant toward the boiler, and that is the way in which they are at present installed. A friend has told us, however, that the return pipes must run uphill in order to pro- duce the best results. We have two houses, 25x90 and 25x130, each contain- ing twelve 1%-inch returns. A. W. The return pipes for hot water, as well as for steam systems, should al- ways run downhill. It is not necessary, however, that they be given much slope. The higher they can be kept above the boiler, the better, so far as the circulation is concerned. Therefore, whatever the height where the coils are connected with the flow pipes, the re- turns should be run with just enough slope so that the air will not pocket, and then should drop vertically to the boiler; that is better than to run the returns all of the way at a gradual slope to the level of the boiler. IN NORTHWESTERN OREGON. I am thinking of building a small greenhouse and am doubtful in regard to the heating of it. You will find enclosed a sketch that shows the pro- posed piping of the house. The house will be 29x60, six feet high to the eaves and twelve feet to the ridge, with one run of 16x24 glass in the sides and the rest boards. You will see by the sketch that I propose having two 2%-inch flows through the center of the house and across the end. The returns would consist of nine 2inch pipes, two of them on each side and five through the rest of the house, one under each bench. All of the returns would come back to a 2%-inch pipe that would enter the boiler. I thought that by piping in this way and having two flows instead of one, it would be easy, when desirable, to turn off half the heat, except one pipe, as you will note that there is one return more on one flow than on the other. Now, do you think this will be piping enough to heat the house to 60 degrees? I am located in northwestern Oregon, only about sixty miles from the Pacific WHY TAKE A CHANCE? You can't know (at best you only think you know) what the temperature is in your green- houses, nights and during your absences, unless you have THE STANDARD RECORDING THERMOMETER Present price, $20.00; formerly $2S.OO It has made thousands of dollars for many flor- ists and may do as much for you.

I know, of course, that a con- siderable reduction may be made for a greenhouse in your locality, but, though your proposed radiation would un- doubtedly answer in ordinary winter weather, I think it would be safer to attach a generator for use in extremely cold weather. There should then be no difficulty in maintaining a temperature of 60 degrees, unless the mercury out- side drops to 10 degrees above zero. PIPING A PEOPAQATINO HOUSE. Our propagating house is made of vhotbed sashes and is 10x60 feet. We shall heat it by steam and we have placed in it one 1^4 -inch feed pipe, which will supply eight 1-inch pipes, four on each side. The sides of the house are three feet high and are cov- ered with boards, with rubber roofing paper on the outside. The east end has a glass front; the west end is attached to the boiler house. Do you think the house has sufficient piping to keep it at a temperature of 60 degrees in zero weather? The location is north- ern Ohio. Will a 1%-inch pipe supply enough steam for eight flow pipes! H. C. & S. As I understand the letter, there is one 114-inch flow pipe running to the farther end of the house and eight 1-inch return pipes. This should be ample for a propagating house where 60 degrees is desired, and should furnish all the bottom heat needed. This state- ment is made with the understanding that the roof is fairly tight. Even with low pressure, I would expect good re- sults if there were no more than six returns, although eight will be better. The 114 -inch flow pipe would be fully large enough for six returns. Although it is generally preferable to use a 1^- inch flow for eight returns, when there is a long overhead flow pipe and low pressure is used, in this case excess of radiation makes it unnecessary to put in a larger flow pipe.

Business, although fair, is not so good as it was last week. This is, perhaps, due to the bad weather. Stock of all kinds is plentiful. Al- though chrysanthemums are getting a little short with some, there rem*ain enough to take care of the Thanksgiv- ing trade, which is expected to be good. Roses are growing better all the time and carnations are showing up fine and in large quantities, while stock of other kinds is plentiful and good. Although not one of the largest holi- days for the florists of this section, Thanksgiving is developing fast. Various Notes. The body of W. C. Loveday was found, November 20, in the Pigeon river, about four miles from Sevierville, Tenn. Mr. Loveday was a fern hunter and had been along the Pigeon river the day before hunting ferns for local florists. It is thought he made a mis- step and fell into the river. Mr. Love- day was well known among the Knox- ville florists, to whom he had sold ferns and other mountain greens for the last ten or fifteen years. It was his custom to come into the city and take orders and then go into the nearby mountains to fill them, being away for two or three weeks at a time. He was the first man to introduce hemlock, or moun- tain spruce, into the florists' business about twelve years ago. This is used as background for funeral sprays and at this time is being shipped to a num- ber of florists in other cities for this purpose. All the florists sent flowers to his funeral. Chas. L. Baum is cutting some flne orchids and carnations. Crouch's have been busy. A. H. Dailey's window is attractive. Addison J. McNutt is cut- ting "a fine crop of sweet peas. Mrs. Bosa Hall Ryno has been busy with funeral work. R. E, M. Model Extension Carnation Support Made with two or three circlet.

OF COURSE YOU WOULD ! You would at once see the money sav- ing advantage of be- ing able to buy all lof^^IWnhamC your material from the one highly responsible concern. You would also be keen to take advantage of putting the entire responsibility up to them for the entire house, instead of dividing it among six different scattered concerns all over the country. All of which would be highly endorsing Lord & Bumham, for that's exactly what this concern is — a combination of six factories, mills and foundries and an engineering concern, all In the one factory under the one skillful management. Each one of these six separate "departments," as we call them, has Its own separate manager or head. Any one of these depart- ments is larger than any one single concern in the country. Each of the six departments works icith and for every other department In producing the entire materials for your house. It's just like a fine, big well oiled six cylinder automo- bile working smooth- ly, riding easily, and getting you there safely and surely in the shortest time and by the smoothest roads.

It is now time you thought about that new house, and be sure you get the Bolted Pipe Frame. You can't afford to spend good money for the old style cast iron "clamp-on, slip-off" split fittings. Our Bolted Pipe Frame is made of steel and bolted right through the pipe. It's a structural job and not a clamped-on and thrown-together building. You can't believe anybody until you get our details and see it for yourself. Once you take the time to investigate this wonderful new type, you won't have the other stuff at any price. It costs no more than the old style. It's all galvanized. It's perfectly rigid. It's the strongest house you can build. It's the only safe pipe frame made.

The Florists^ Review » = Autocars Quickly Build Up New and Valu- able Trade for The George Wittbold Co. 'A Average 50 miles a day each, makinsf deliveries to South Chicasfo, Chicago Heights, Lake Forest, Highland Park and Des Plaines RAPID and economical business expansion— this is a result which makes itself apparent almost imnfediately to those who adopt the Autocar Delivery Vehicle. It is not so much the lower costs of motor delivery (though these soon prove them- selves less than horse equipment) as it is the in- creased business and ability to take care of it that make the Autocar a wise investment. Take the case of The Geo. Wittbold Co., florists, who have an extensive trade in all parts of Chicago. In dis- cussing the advantages of motor delivery at his place of business, 737 Buckingham Place, Mr. Wittbold said: "We bought our first Autocar nearly two years ago and it gave such splendid results that another was added five months later. The two cars have been a revelation in quick and reliable service. They aver- age 50 miles a day each and carry not only the heavy plants and other decorative products, but cut flowers and lighter goods as well. "With our Autocars we reach South Chicago and Chicago Heights (20 miles south). Lake Forest and << Used in Every Line of Business ' ' Highland Park (18 miles nortl)), and Des Plaines (22 miles west) without any difficulty at all. Before we had motor trucks it was very hard to develop business in those places. "Formerly to go to South Chicago on a decorating contract we would have to go a day ahead with a team, and bring the team back the next day. Or else we would send the goods 'by express.' Now one of our Autocars starts about 7 o'clock in the morning, get- ting to South Chicago by 9 o'clock and getting back at noon, ready to make anothw similar trip in the afternoon. - "We have had no repair ex- pense at all on the cars. Some previous motor trucks we had were not satisfac- tory. They were stalled all the time. The Autocars are never held up and we always know they are on the job. It is no exaggeration to say that our Autocars have widened our territory and are building up our business every day. They reach customers we never reached before and by taking advantage of their greater delivery possibilities we are looking for- ward to continuous business expansion." What the Autocar is doing for The Geo. Wittbold Co. it can do for YOUR delivery system. There are more than 1700 Autocar owners to testify to this WRITE FOR NEW CATALOGUE. ADDRESS DEPT.

HOOSIER BEAUTY is your variety. It is as fragrant as Richmond; Has more petals; A stififer stem; A texture like velvet; In color, glowing crimson-scar- let, with darker shadings. The bud is of good length, ships well in the close-cut state, and opens into a magnificent bloom, quite dazzling in velvety brilliance. As soon as thoroughly established in the soil, it sends out long, stiff growths with a bud on every shoot. It does not need to be pinched like Killar^y or Richmond, but produces, naturally, stems 2 to 3 ft. in length; each plant keeps up a very close succession of bloom, and again, unlike Richmond, it is a good summer rose. It is a clean grower, and shows very little inclination to "spot" or mildew; indeed the variety is quite clear of both. It is an easy doer, grows side by side with Richmond and Eillamey, and has become instantly popular and in heavy demandiM^ the four cities where blooms have been soldmilbwer buyers through the section calling for n by name.

The new style dances cut a big hole in the business of the city florists. There are plenty of stores that, during the social season, send out, each afternoon, dozens and dozens of corsage bouquets. Still send them out, but fewer last season than in recent yearS; for one by one the dancers passed them up. But now the tide is turning. With the multiplication of material fqiv*orsage bou- quets, the sale for this class of cut flower arrangement increased tremendously. With a variety of flowers to match any costume, it got so that- corsage bou- quets were olie of the most important items for city , retailers who cater to the high class trade. Many of the ladies on their lists never went out of an even- ing without fiowers. How Orders .Dwindled. Then came-a sudden fall- ing off in the orders for flowers for evening wear. The cheaper corsages for afternoon wear still were selling as well as ever, but the popularity of flowers for evening wear suddenly was on the waiie. It par- ticularly affected the de- mand for cattleyas. One retailer who was at a loss to explain the loss of business made bold to ask one of his customers, who was a dancing man. why he no longer ordered bouquets for his wife. The answer was: "Why! it is awfully awkward. If I dance, I want to dance right, but the lady screams, 'Look out for my flowefs! ' Now, I would much rather dance and know that I am danc- ing these new: dances right, instead of taking care that I do not squeeze some flowers. So my wife agrees that she wiU wear her flowers at times we are not going to dances. * ' And that was absolutely all there was to it. "People simply were tired spaying a dollar or more apiece for orchids to either be careful or smash them up. The new olose style of dancing had brought the cli&sge. Your up-to-date florist doesn't sit passively and watch some passing fad cut a hole in his business^he gets busy devising ways and means of holding the trade, getting up something new and novel to turn the whim of the moment into a feeder of the cash register. The New Ideas. ' So it came about that last season we began to read in the society columns about the new style of bouquet that Miss So and So wore to Mrs. Whatye- A Device for Keeping the Beau Away from the Bouquet. macalUt's dinner dance. Somebody usually gave the new bouquet a name. And names count for a lot. If they have the right hook, they catch on — the barb clings in the memory. First it was the bunny hug bouquet — that was a good one. The only trouble was the name was better than the bouquet. The flowers were placed with the stems withia one of the little plush or fur-covered figures of u rabbit that the novelty stores sell for children's party favors; ribbons were attached for hanging the bouquet from the dancer's arm. With the center of grav- ity taken into consideration, so that the bouquet would hang right side up, the arrangement had some vogue with those who tried it, but its use did.-not spread over the country as happens when a real success is achieved. ;/ Then an ingenious florist conceived a corsage arrangement that he called the tango because of its floppi- ness — he put some light steel spring wires in the center of his bunch after having tied on the ends such small flowers as valley or sweet peas, using narrow ribbon for bows and for wrapping the wire where it might show. This was good, but if the lady wore the bouquet too low it was in the same danger as cor- sa^s made in the ordinary manner. It also was tried hung from the arm, but the tango bouquet made no hit until a florist here and there began fashioning the flowers so they could be worn high, out of the way of the dancers. Flowers for Shoulders. Perhaps it was the adver- tising that made it go, for when Miss Wilson appeared at a White House dancing party last season with her flowers on her shoulder they got a notice in practically every newspaper that takes the Associated Press report. Now one begins to see flowers on the ladies ' shoul- ders almost everywhere one goes — and they never fail to attract attention, which is a good thing for florists. With many minds busy with the problem of evolv- ing flowers for the shoul- ders, something good is sure to result. Max Schling got his idea of flowers on both shoulders from seeing a clerk throw a spray of fine Sprengeri around her neck — and worked out the ar- rangements shown in the accompanying illustrations. At first these light spray arrange- ments were used only for the tango, and therefore came to be known as tkngo bouquets, but soon they were employed for other social affairs, any- where that the gown is cut to leave the shoulders and neck free; in many instances the heavier part of the bou- quet on one side, with just a little spray peeping over the other tdionlder, 18 The Florists' Review Deckmbbr 3, 1914. making them up in two separate pieces, but looking as though in one. When Mr. Schling put a figure in his window showing the tango bouquet it quickly caught on. Speaking of the materials used, Mr. Schling said: "In winter we utilize violets, sweet peas, rose buds, gardenias, lily of the valley, cattleyas, cypripediums, pansies and almost any other kind of small flowers and we always find our patrons well satisfied. We can arrange just as pretty sprays with fewer flowers, where the patron wants to save, and we can also make something elaborate where the price is not considered. But the main fact stands that all patrons are satisfied, no matter wha^Kfehey spend, and our corsage business is steadily increasing. ''This new corsage we use at wed- dings where the bride carries a prayer book with a shower, which could not possibly be made as showy as a bouquet would be. For dinners, balls or recep- tion^, where the flowers are often in the way; we have no more complaints that dresses get spoiled. One can al- ways afford to have a corsage and even if there are not so many orders as we used to have at the higher prices, the wearing of corfeaige bouquets is becom- iSg more and more general and we notice on our books a substantial in- tirease in sales." Another florist has devised a tango bouquet that is worn on the lady's arm, He makes it a bit flatter, narrower and longer than ordinary corsage arrange- ments, with the stems carefully wrapped with ribbon and covered by the flowers. _ Bibbons are sewed into the bouquet- so that they can be passed around the arm and tied in such a way as to hold the flowers close to the outer side of the arm between the elbow and the shoulder. The bunch must be light and the stems reduced to the minimum, but it makes a taking dance arrange- ment— conspicuous, and the beau and the bouquet do not come in contact. With the dancing season now on, there will be much good new business A Tango Bouquet, Shoulder Style, Made of Rose Buds. for the florist with ingenuity enough to work up a tango bouquet that will meet the situation as it already has been met by some of those who use their heads as well as their hands in ; rtinning their ^ower stores. Christmas or even as late as February. I have not included peonies, because nothing would be gained by planting them until next fall. C. ^^jB. ODCN LETTER^^" DEADER6. OUTDOOE STOCK FOR CUTTING. The .Review's information has always been so helpful to me that I can't re- sist the impulse to "butt in" when I feel that an unsatisfactory answer has been given to a question. I refer to a letter from E. H. in The Review of November 26, asking what to plant on an acre of land in order to have cut flowers for funeral work and the market when greenhouse stock is short. The answer sounds like a page from a seed catalogue rather than from personal ex- perience. E. H. does not specify peren- nials and yet the entire list is com- posed of perennials, most of which would give no results before the summer of 1916. Were I planting an acre for such a purpose, I should prepare my ground now, making trenches for sweet peas, so that they could be put in early in the spring. I should plant them in rows running north and south on the east end of my land. Next to them I should have dahlias, then gladioli, then lilies — a great many, of different varieties, as nothing sells • better for funeral work. Next I should have iris — German and Japanese; not too many — then an- tirrhinums, mignonette, hardy chrysan- themums, pyrethrums, Shasta daisies (Alaska), delphiniums — the Chinense is especially good for funeral work, tfie gold medal hybrids and Belladonna/for cut flowers. Dianthus pinks and gail- lardias might be used, but I have not found them as good sellers as some others. Outdoor asters have been a poor crop with us for a number of years, but if well grown will always sell. All of these perennials will bloom next summer if seed is sown soon after THE BOSES OF THE FUTURE. In a recent issue of The Review 1 note a paragraph which reads as fol- lows: "What do you think would hap- pen to the price of other roses if some- one should send out a variety of the size of Russell and the floriferousness of Killarney? Wouldn't such a variety make everything else unprofitable?" Now, I am at a loss to know why rosarians have not already bred roses of this capacity, with the added quali- ties of hardiness, resistance to rust and mildew, etc. The time is not far dis- tant when we shall see such wonderful progress as The Review's query points to. In the breeding of gladioli, hemeriT"^*' callis, corn, etc., I have observed cer- tain principles and results that go much farther into the aspects of breeding than the questionable Mendelian law. If the good Abbe Mendel had first read Darwin, he might have gone deeper nd seen some things differently. With the roses now in hand, and with the employment of the methods or prin- ciples we have, there is no reason why we should not see roses and other plants with the maximum of desirable quali- ties. In the culture of the hemerocallis there has been remarkable improve- ment in size, color, freedom and hardi- ness, and the season of bloom has been greatly extended. The gladiolus has be- Dboiubm 3, 1014. The Florists^ Review 19 3±; come taller or dwarfer^ earlier or later, as desired; its ,blooms have acquired purer color tones and are decidedly larger, with an increased number to the spike and with greater resistance to dis- ease and to the extremes of natural con- ditions. In the work on corn thpie have been still greater surprises experimental results. Why not the same advancement in the field of rosariansf In Nature workshop we can see Nature beckoning and saying: "Come; here is the mate- rial. Observe my methods and plan accordingly. Then you will behold the results — a rose without thorns, supe- rior to Russell, freer than Killarney, in foliage superior to Wichuraiana, . with the richest perfume and with all the hardiness . of Persian Yellow. ' ' Such will be the rose of a not remote fhture. At least, such is the view of C.

FOBCING SPHLffiA VAN HOUTTEI. Can bridal wreath be forced for Easter t If so, what temperature is re- quired? T. E, G. I suppose you refer to Spiraea Van Houttei, which is often called the bridal wreath spiraea. This shrub is occasion- ally .forced, although it is not consid- ered as desirable as some others for this purpose. For blooming as early as Easter you should have plants which have either been pot-grown or were potted up early in the fall and have somewhat established themselves. Start the plants eight weeks before Easter. A Tango Bouquet, Shoulder Style, Made of Sweet Peas. A temperature of 50 degrees at night at first will suffice; later, 60 to 65 degrees can be given. Spray the plants freely. Move them to a cooler house as the flowers open. You will find lilacs, deut- zias and several other deciduous shrubs better adapted for forcing than this spiraea. . C^ W. m» ac * i ac ac \ SEASONABLE ^ i ^ SUGGESTIONS ac Propagation of Begonias. ac ac If leaf cuttings of Lorraine and Cin- cinnati begonias have not yet been put in, lose no time in plaring a good 8i?ed batch in the dutting bench. Well matured leaves are necessary and these should be cut oflf with the leaf stalk and placed so that the leaf just touches the sand. Use sharp sand, with good drainage below it. If the sand happens to be somewhat too fine and water does not pass quickly through it, add some finely broken charcoal, brick or even' coal ashes to make it more porous. A brisk bottom heat is absolutely necessary. Without it propagation will be slow and uncertain, but if you can keep your sand at 80 to 85 degrees you are all right. Those unable to give a good bottom heat would do better to buy young plants from growers who specialize in these plants and handle them in large quantities. The new variety Melior promises to be a decided acquisition and I expect to see it taking quite a prominent place next year. The new variety Nancy, which M. Lemoine, of Nancy, France, would have offered this season but for the war, is also destined to be a grand novelty. B. Baumannii, a tuberous sort with large, pink, sweet-scented flowers, is the pollen parent of Nancy, while B. Dregei was the male parent of Lor- raine, also raised by M. Lemoine over twenty years ago. The flowers of Nancy are from two to three and one- half inches in diameter, of a rich, rosy carmine color, and are carried on erect stems. When Cincinnati became well known, the total eclipse of Lorraine was predicted, but this has not come about. The older variety sells at a lower price than Cincinnati, which proves a somewhat better keeper in the house, but Lorraine is still heavily grown. Small plants propagated in August, now blooming in 3-inch pots, are proving useful and are in excellent demand for small receptacles. Such plants are $12 to $15 per hundred, pay better than the large ones and are worthy attention from more growers. Cinerarias. This is the season of rapid growth of cinerarias. They are impatient of heat and are soon ruined by it. Give them 42 to 45 degrees. at night and not too sunny a location and they will revel in it. Be sure to fumigate regu- larly. Green aphis has a marked fond- ness for cinerarias and will soon ruin them if not fought persistently. Plants may be flowered m from 5-inch to 10-inch pots, but commercially 6-inch and 7-inch sizes are the most profitable. They like a fairly rich compost 4)f two-thirds fibrous loam and one-third old cow manure, with some sand, broken charcoal and a little fine bone added. Cinerarias' are not an early winter- flowering plant. Their natural bloom- ing period is from the eiid of January to the end of March. Occasionally small plants are seen at Christmas, but it certainly does not pay to attempt to flower them so early. They will not sell in competition with poinsettias, be- gonias, azaleas, cyclamens and primulas, but toward spring, when a greater 20 The Florists' Rcvkw Dbcembeb 3, 1014. variety of flowering plants are avail- able iind the demand more spread out, they sell moderately well, Freesias. Christmas freesias are always sold at good prices and for this reason it pays to take special care of a good sized batch and endeavor to flower them at that time. We have had, until mid- November, a warm fall, and this, has favored the early flowering of freesias. A carnation house or one of similar temperature, where the plants can have 55 degrees at night, is the ideal place for these, and if no shelf is at disposal, let them have a sunny bench. Eemem- ber that they are not heavily rooted and copious supplies of water are neces- sary. Be careful in feeding, however. Light doses twice a week are all right, but any heavy feeding will assuredly cause the ends of the leaves to turn brown. WINTEB-BLOOMING SPENCERS. Is it too late to sow sweet pea seed in pots, to be benched about Decem- ber lot Would it be advisable to plant the ordinary Spencer type, or winter- flowering varieties? J. H. It is too late now to sow peas to be planted out December 10. The plants, however, will be all right by Christmas. Do not grow the ordinary Spencers, as they flower too late. Get some of the winter-blooming Spencers. The seed is still high-priced,- but these bloom when quite small, while the ordinary sorts will do nothing until spring. C. W. AMERICAN SWEET FEA SOCIETY. A meeting of the executive board of the American Sweet Pea Society was held at the oflSces of Peter Henderson & Co., New York city, Tuesday after- noon, November 24, with W. Atlee Bur- pee in the chair. The principal business before the board wae the arrangements for the shows to be held during the coming summer. It has been arranged that two shows be held, one in San Fran- cisco, the other in Newport, R. I. The dates for the San Francisco show have not yet been fixed. The Newport show, which is to be held under the auspices of the Newport Garden Association and the Newport Horticultural Society, in the Newport Casino, will open July 8 and continue through July 9. A liberal, preliminary premium list has been pre- pared and issued by the Newport or- ganizations, which includes a large number of open classes. Copies of this preliminary schedule may be obtained from the secretary, Harry A. Bunyard, 342 West Fourteenth street, New York city. The preliminary schedule of the American Sweet Pea Society will be issued about January 1. Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y. 0LX7B VASE AT BALTIMORE SHOW. Iti the center of the aicoompanying illustration is shown the club vase at the flower show held in the Fifth Regi- ment Armory, Baltimore, November 17 to 24, under the auspices of the Mary- land Horticultural Society, a full ac- count of which appeared in The Re- view of November 26. This enormous vase, which was ten and one-half feet high, stood on a base thirty inches high. It contained 350 chrysanthemums and was designed and erected by William Feiast. The vase was the especial contribution Qf the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club of Baltimore. The blooms were contributed by R. L. Graham, Samuel Feast & Sons, Halli- liay Bros., S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Harry Ekas, I. H. Moss, Chas. Sieg- wart, M. J. Hannigan, James Hamilton, E. A. Seidewitz, J. J. Cummings, G. A. Lotze, John Cook, Geo. Morrison and A. S. Richmond. The vase had been standing three days when the photo- graph which is reproduced herewith was taken and therefore does not ap- pear quite so well as it did when first staged. W. P. E. A TIP TO EXHIBITORS. There were several noteworthy things at the Houston flower show. One of these, which will be of particular in- terest to retailers who exhibit their work, was the use of dressmakers ' mod- els to show bouquets to better advan- tage. The illustration on page 21 tells the whole story better than words can do. This particular bouquet was the one exhibited, by the Forestdale Flower Shop, of Houston, Tex., which took first prize. It was the work of Mrs. E. B. Richard, as was also the arm bouquet with which the firm took a second prize. Additional prizes were taken, two for specimen palms and one for tl^. best mantel decoration. Credit for the latter belongs to John J. Boyle, manager of the store, to whom is largely due the concern's success, through his care and painstaking ef- fort. It is only due to the fact that Mr. Boyle made no more entries than he did, Gus Radetzki, proprietor of the store, believes, that the firm took no more prizes. Its record at the show was three firsts and two seconds out of seven entries. The at4> Vutf the Special Feature of the Baltimore Show. December 3, 1914. The Florists' Review 't 21 PLANS FOE NEXT YEAR. Care of Stock Plants. Thanksgiving has practically cleaned up. the chrysanthemums. There are all kinds of ways for wintering stock. Where the climate is not too severe it can be planted in coldf rames, held prac- tically dormant for several months, and when opened in early spring, the plants will soon give a grand crop of strong cuttings, better than are to be had in any other way. The best method for the average commercial grower, who may need to start propagating early to increase his stock of special varieties, is to plant in benches in a cold house; a violet temperature of 40 degrees at night will answer admirably. Place large labels on each sort, so that there will be no danger of their becoming mixed. While it is much too early to propa- gate for next season's crop, those who , may have a limited stock of any new or specially desirable kinds would do well to start taking cuttings now. This will permit of a large batch being se- cured before late spring. While the large blooms do 6ot Seem to find purchasers as they did a few years ago, more moderate sized flowers being generally preferred, they have not lost favor altogether and still at- tract a lot of attention in the exhibi- tions. The pompons, anemones and sin- gles have all advanced in favor and every grower, especially such as cater to retail trade, should plant good batches of them. In design work of all kinds, for late decorations or as pot plants they are excellent, and many prefer them to the large blooms. The Standard Varieties. Few new varieties appear and stand up as commercial sorts. This is spe- cially true S( the large exhibition sorts. The most largely grown and popular chrysanthemum still is the old reliable Bonnaffon. Growers are nearly unani- mous in stating that there is still more money in this than any other. Other favorite yellows are Golden Glow, the leading early; Chrysolora, Roman Gold, Golden Chadwick, Yellow Eaton, Gold- en Eagle, Halliday, Ramapo and Colowl Appleton. f Coming to whites. Smith 's Advance continues the leader among earlies. Others which find much favor are Polly Rose, October Frost, Clementine Tou- set, Charles Ra^er, Miss Alice Byron, Eaton, Ivory, -^anne^onin and Chad- wick. Ivory seemv^ be losing favor; its constitution is waning. As fancy whites, some good William Turner and Mrs. Drabble have appeared this year. Turning to pinks. Glory of Pacific is still heavily grown, as is Pacific Su- preme. Chieftain looms up as a winner among midseason sorts. Patty, Winter Cheer, Enguehard and Wells' Late Pink are all in favor. The last named is fine fo^ Thanksgiving if grown cold. The old Maud Dean is grown quite a little. Alice Lemon has proved a good early light pink. The call for other colors than pink, white and yellow is not great. In crimson the leaders are Still Shrimpton, the old Collingfordii, Intensity and Pockett's Crimson. Glenview is a fine bronzy red. Ethel Fitzroy is the good bronze for the country florist. Mrs. O. H. Kahn is fine if a fancy bronze is wanted. Good Culture Necessary. Give the stock plants a good position if strong cuttings are desired. Too. often we see them in pots and boxes on the walks or even below the benches, exposed to drip and every unfavorable condition. Cuttings taken from, such plants cannot be expected to give flow- ers at all equal to those grown well up to the light in a cool house. Whatever we grow we should aim to grow as well as possible. Good flowers always will sell. Therefore it should be the aim of every grower to produce flowers of as good a grade as possible. There are too many growers of second and third rate flowers. These always drag, espe- cially in times of glut. Therefore, pro- duce a better article and it is sure to sell. THKIPS ON BONNAFFONS. I am sending you a bloom of a Bon- naffon mum which is turning brown on the under side of the petals. In fact, the blooms turn brown before they are fully developed. I have them in the same house with a lot of white and other colors, which are all right. If you can tell me what the trouble is, I shall appreciate it. H. L. H. The flower sent had been ruined by thrips. You cannot do anything to help your flowers at this late date, but an- other season, by more careful fumigat- ing and spraying, you should be able to keep this pest in check. C. W. VARIATIONS IN BONNAFFON. We have found four Major Bonnaffon mum plants on which the leaves are dif- ferent from the rest. The leaves are finely cut. One plant has formed a small bud; the other three will come on later. We took cuttings about three inches long from the plants with the changed leaves, and put the cuttings in the sand to root. Will these be new varieties? The four plants will bloom about a month later than the other Bonnaffons. L. V. & F. C. I doubt if you have any new variety. T think it is more probable that some other sort has got mixed with your Bonnaffons. You should soon be able to see whether this is so. C. W. Novel Staging of Bride's Bouquets.

PEOPAOATINO ADIANTUMS. I have several maidenhair ferns and have tried time and again to propagate them, but have been unsuccessful. Will you kindly tell me the proper v?ay to do this? E. M. C. Two methods of propagation are in common use for the maidenhair ferns; namely, by division of the Cfowns or by means of spores. Division is the method used for Adiantum Farleyense, A. hybridum, A. Croweanum and some few other species and varieties that are in the list of trade sorts. The work is preferably done in the spring, when the plants are starting into growth. The divisions are potted into small pots and kept shaded and rather warm until they get a start. Spores are sown on the surface of the soil in pots or pans. The soil is well watered before the spores are sown. Then the seed pots are placed in a shaded greenhouse, preferably in a propagating frame, to protect them from drying out, and are kept there until the seedlings are large enough to be pricked out. They are potted off into small pots when they are large enougli to handle. W. H. T. TOO COOL FOR MAIDENHAIR. Please tell me how to grow maiden- hair ferns. I have tried Adiantum cuneatum on the bench in a carnation house and also in more shade, but have not succeeded well. S. M. Maidenhair ferns will not make a satisfactory growth in a carnation house, as the carnation temperature is too low for the ferns. They may be grown without shading during the win- ter, either in pots or planted out on a bench in four to five inches of good carnation soil, provided the night tem- perature is kept up to 60 degrees and tho ]^iants are given water enough to keep the soil moist but not sodden. W. H. T. NOT A GOOD POT FERN. I am sending today by parcel post some fern fronds. Will you give me the name of the variety? It is a hardy fern and I think it is decidedly pretty. Would it not make a pretty pot plant? I can furnish several thousands of them and, if you think they would sell, I want to advertise them in The Review. C. M. W. The fern in question is Pteris aqui- lina, a handsome, strong-growing, hardy species that is common in many parts of the United States. It is a good fern for outdoor planting, but not so well adapted for pot culture, from the fact that it is a deciduous species, and I would not advise offering it as a pot plant for that reason. A better species for trade use is Pteris tremula, which is not a native, but an easy sort to manage and one that is easily raised from spores. W. H. T. WHITE SCALE ON FERNS. Enclosed you will find a fern frond that is infested by a white insect with which I am having trouble. Please in- form me what this is and what must be done 10 get rid of it. I have been fumigating with nicotine paper and have also sprayed with Fir Tree oil, but neither remedy seems to have much effect. Possibly I have not made the applications strong enough. C. W. P. The insect in question is one of the scale tribe, and one that has caused much trouble and loss to fern growers. It is not an easy matter to exterminate this pest, but the most satisfactory method is to go over the plants and cut out the worst fronds first, being care- ful not to allow these fronds to remain in the house with the plants. Then either dip the plants in nicotine solu- tion or spray them with it, repeating this nicotine treatment at intervals of about a week until several applications have been given. It is best to protect the plants from the sun while they are wet with the nicotine solution, or the fronds may suffer, particularly the tender tips of the young fronds. W. H. T. WBITH INSECTS ON FERNS. Please tell me the common and scien- tific names of the small white mite on the accompanying fern leaves. I should like, also, to know the life history of the insect — it turns into a small fly-— and how to get control of it. There is no trouble in cleaning the plants by syringing, but th^ pest comes back. Where does it come from and how can it be kept away? C. S. The insect in question has caused much trouble to fern growers, especially to those growing nephrolepis, and is not an easy one to control. The best treat- ment is to cut off and burn the badly infested foliage and then to spray with nicotine solution at regular intervals. The nicotine treatment may disfigure the tips of young fronds if used too strong, and it is safer to shade the plants from sunshine while they are wet with the spray solution. It would be more satisfactory to write to your state entomologist for the tech- nicalities regarding this insect^ sending him specimens and all the information you have as to the habits of the insect. W. H. Taplin. CARNATIONS GO TO SLEEP. Can you frive me any information as to why my carnations go to sleep l)efore they are fully open? The trouble started early in October, when the first blossoms were cut, and it is getting worse. The plants were benched during the first week of August and made a good start. The soil is a somewhat heavy loam, with no fertilizer of any kind except a liberal layer of partly decayed cow and horse manure, mixed, at the bottom of the soil. The roots reach well down to the bottom now. I have twice given liquid manure, which seemed to aggravate the trouble. I have ventilated freely every day and the temperature is kept at 50 degrees at night, with a rise of 10 to 15 de- grees in the daytime. Before firing w&s started, however, the temperature went down to 45 degrees, and even lower. A. H. Your letter does not disclose any- thing that would suggest the reason for your carnations going to sleep. The description you give of your soil elim- inates it as a possible cause of the trouble. Your temperature seems cor- rect, too. I have known instances where leaking gas mains were the cause of sleepy carnations. If there is a gas main running past your houses, you might be able to trace the trouble to that source. I have also known carna- tions to open up poorly and remain sleepy as a result of the soil being dry at the bottom. This usually occurs during midwinter, when hard firing is kept up continuously and the pipes under the benches cause the soil to dry out. These are about all the sug- gestions I can offer, in view of the nature of the information you give in your letter. A. F. J. B. SELECTION OF CUTTINGS. Of how great importance is the selec- tion of strong, vigorous cuttings in the improvement of a strain of plants, such as carnations? Has the improvement in carnations been entirely a result of crossing and improved methods of cul- ture, or has the selection of cuttings played an important part also? What is the origin of Enchantress Supreme? Generally, in the growing of greenhouse plants, of how great importance is the selection of stock plants and the care which they receive? L. R. G. I do not know that I would care to subscribe to the assertion that a variety might be improved by careful selection of the cuttings when propagating in that Dbcbmbbr 8, 1914. The Florists^ Review 28 greenhouses, but use oil stoves only in freezing weather. We spray with Aphine about once a week. We have fumigated with To-bak-ine papers once since the plants were put in the benches. They have been housed about a month. The carnations were field- grown plants, some from Chicago and some from Colorado Springs. S. F. C. Store of A. W. Smith G>.t Pittsburgh, as it Appeared During a Recent Reception. The pest that is chewing up your carnation crop is undoubtedly one of the several varieties of cutworms or larvae common in greenhouses. Some- times they are hard to get rid of, and, handpicking must be resorted to. You will seldom find them exposed to view during the daytime, as they keep out of sight from daylight till dusk. By the aid of a strong light, however, you can catch them feeding at the buds or tips any time after dark, especially after midnight. The most common remedy is poisoned mash, made as follows: Take bran or shortening and mix with it enough molasses to make a mash. Then add to the mixture enough Paris green to make it deadly. Lay this around where the worms have been working. In most cases this remedy is found effective. A. F. J. Baur. ■manner. I do know, however, that the vitality shown in a seedling plant ■can be preserved only through the most careful selection of the cuttings. I know, also, that after a variety has lost more or less of its original vitality, it can be built up again by selection •of the cuttings. Whether the vitality may be made to exceed that shown in the original seedling plant, I am not 3)repared to say, but I doubt it seri- ously. I feel certain that the improvement in the present-day carnation, as com- pared with the carnation of ten or twenty years ago, is mainly due to breeding, accompanied, of course, by improved cultural methods. There is HO question in my mind that our best growers of today would grow better lalooms of Daybreak and show the variety in its best form earlier in the season than the growers of twenty years ago, notwithstanding the occa- •sional statement from some old-timer of having cut forty-eight blooms per plant from Daybreak, etc. I would not expect, however, that anyone could grow as good blooms on Daybreak as he would cut from Enchantress under identical cultural conditions; nor could I imagine anyone showing blooms of Silver Spray that would be equal to the . blooms we see every day from White Wonder, and so on through the "whole list of colors. Enchantress Supreme is a sport from Enchantress. It was disseminated by Dallledouze Bros, in 1912. ' A. F. J. 7^. CUTWORMS ON CAENATIONS. We are enclosing some tops and buds of carnation plants that have been eaten by some insect. We should like to have your advice as to what is the best way to get rid of these insects. They have eaten the tops or young green shoots of about half of our car- nation plants. We pick up the broken tops, but cannot find the insect which "has done the damage. We notice in the tops of some of the blooms a brown- ish looking worm, which is also inside the calyx and eats the blooms. There are also some insects that bore holes inside the buds and then disappear. We notice a good many brown moths and white and yellow butterflies flying around the carnations and lighting on the plants. We think these lay the eggs that produce the worms which desti'oy our plants. Please tell us at once of a remedy for these insects. We do not use steam pipes in our Iia Fayette, 111. — The heating appa- ratus has been installed in the propa- gating house erected this summer at the Home Nursery.

Reimers & Son Co., Louisville, Ky., known as the Cemetery Greenhouses, a store and of- fice has just been erected. The build- ing is shown in the accompanying il- lustration. This site is opposite the widely known Cave Hill cemetery, in the eastern part of Louisville, which is rapidly becoming the preferred resi- dential district. Here was established the original business of E. G. Eeimers in 1880, which was incorporated in 1913. The range now includes about 30,000 square feet of glass. The ex- tension work going on at present is under the personal supervision of Mil- ton A. Eeimers, who is secretary and treasurer of the company. MOTT-LT MUSINGS. A. C. Oelschig & Son, Savannah, Ga., are much pleased with the Shawyer rose, which will in future take the place of the Killarney family. It produces good flowering shoots without the necessity of pinching back. Bessie Brown is their choice for an outdoor variety. They have a fine show of chrysanthemums, especially pompons. Golden Star and E. G. Hill's Mensa are leaders. There are some promising kinds sent out from Waphington through P. J. Berckmans Co., of Augusta, Ga. Carnations are doing well, considering that they are planted in a black, sandy soil, the third year in use. The GrifEng Bros. Co., Macclenny, Fla., is offering inducements to the farmer and fruit grower by taking cotton and turpentine in exchange for trees. This gives the opportunity for diversification of crops, and is being taken advantage of by many would-be planters. Chas. T. Mcintosh & Son, Charleston, S. C, are established in their new seed store, rebuilt upon the site occupied by the "founder, William Mcintosh, father of the present owner. The new building is double-fronted and arranged for both wholesale and retail business. It is thoroughly up-to-date in conven- ience and decorations. A conservatory in the rear is used for plants, for which they have good sales, although they do not handle cut flowers. There is ample warehouse room and storage. Poultry supplies occupy a large share of space and are a valuable asset. Fall sales of both seeds and bulbs are satisfactory. Deliveries of peas are good and beans are on the way. The managers of the Rose Hill Green- houses, Columbia, S, C, are among the large army of optimists, although calls for their finely grown mums are some- what slow. The mums are the product of Mitsu Tokunaga, for several years the grower here, and they demonstrate his native skill. He is a constant reader of The Review. The Heidtsch Seed Store and Ligon's Seed Branch, at Spartanburg, report ex- cellent business in seed, which brings the cash the farmer is parting from reluctantly. The merchants blame the politicians for agitating the holding of cotton at jO' cents a pound, as this has given all anjexcuse for not paying their bills. ' ' The Charlotte Cut Flower Co., Char- lotte, N. C, ju&tly claims to have the largest area of-^lass in the state. When Robert Lockerbie came here several years ago as grower, little else was seen except cotton and a few hardy "scrubs." Now the best stock grown is appreciated. Such chrysanthemums as Bonnaffon, Golden Wedding, Eaton and Jeanne jSonin are the favorites. It does not pay here to grow earlier kind's. Carnations do best in solid con- crete raised beds, owing to the hot sum- mers. Stem-rot is seen here in the En- chantress family, while Beacon is per- fectly free from it. Formalin has been used, but with little appreciable result. Poinsettias with asparagus in pans are attractive. I understand these are kept mulched with manure and not allowed to get dry; hence the handsome, deep green foliage and not a lost leaf. Cyc- lamens a la Craig, from whose well known establishment Mr. Lockerbie is a graduate, speak for themselves. W. M. Mews from 13 roQ!

The same good report ap- plies to the Peeters establishment and its proprietor. Ohent, Belgium. — According to offers being made, it looks as though there will be plenty of azaleas for 1915 de- livery. Prices have declined and many growers are anxious to make sales even this early. Few nurseries are injured in any way and, as there is practically no market elsewhere, America must stand the surplus, whatever it may be. The Germans occupy the city, but they have not molested the nurseries in the surrounding country. Yokohama, Japan. — The giganteum crop is reported to be about twenty- five per cent short, or about four mil- lion bulbs. Shipments of bulbs via Panama canal to New York are on the way. It takes from thirty-five to forty days en route to New York and the cost is about 70 cents less per case in freight. This difference is largely off- set, however, because the bulbs must be packed heavier to stand the climate — more soil and less rice chaff and, in some varieties, such as auratums, no rice chaff at all. Vilvorde, Belgium. — Professor Am- broise is reported to have been killed at Waremme by a bullet. It is hoped that this will prove to be untrue, al- though it is feared that the fact is as reported. Qhent, Belgium. — The establishments in this vicinity, in common with those about Brussels and Bruges, have for the most part escaped damage at the hands of the military forces. At Melle, however, where most of the fighting in this part was done, one of the gfreen- houses of Bier & Anks^smit was de- stroyed by a shell. At Meirelbeke, ^ Jules de Cock has suffered no loss whatever. No word has been received from the son-in-law of Raphael de Smet, who is an army surgeon; his fam- ily has fled to Folkestone. Yokohama, Japan. — The British steamer Troilus, of the Blue Funnel line, from Yokohama, August 26, to London, was sunk by the German cruiser Emden in the Indian Ocean. This steamer carried over 2,000 cases of giganteum bulbs from Seitaro Aral, Yokohama Nursery Co. and Boehmer & Co. for the English market. The news arrived too late to duplicate the ship- ments via Suez and it is expected part will be duplicated via New York. Con- siderable loss has been sq&tained this season by Yokohama bulb exporters, es- pecially in the earlier shipments of P^rmosa bulbs, not all of which was covered by war insurance. Store of E. G.

Having received inquiries from a good many florists in regard to the propagating and growing of Easter Greeting pelargoniums, I concluded that the most satisfactory way of replying to the questions would be to tell my experience to the whole trade through the columns of The Review. In my opinion, there is nothing else on the market today that is so easily grown and at the same time so beautiful as Easter Greeting. I have heard that when Easter Greet- ing was first brought to America, the growers had trouble in propagating it. For this, I think, climatic conditions were largely to blame. After Easter Greeting became acquainted with Amer- ica's climate and soil, and America be- came acquainted with Easter Greeting, the difficulty in propagating was prac- tically ended. One grower says that Easter Greeting is, without a doubt, one of the best pot plants in America, but that its great flowering qualities make it a poor pro- ducer of cuttings. Here are the facts which show what success we had in that respect last summer: We put 800 5-inch stock plants in the field. Owing to our busy season and the weather conditions, we did not get these planted until June 20. We cultivated them in the same way as we would any other plants in the field. We got three crops of cut- tings. The first cuttings were taken July 31 and the last ones September 25. From these three crops we got 17,500 cuttings and we rooted an average of ninety per cent of them. As judged by that record, is Easter Greeting a poor cutting producer or not? We did not have an imported expert employed as a propagator, but just an ordinary, Amer- ican-born florist. The secret is this, if it may be called a secret: You must keep the flowers off your stock plants. After the cuttings are in the sand, no one is likely to have much trouble about rooting them if he just uses a fair amount of what is known as good, common, horse sense. Keep the Plants Orowlng. After they are potted, care for them as you would any other plants. When they have taken hold of the soil, keep them going. If you let them get too dry, the stems will become hard and you cannot produce nice plants. If they are properly cared for, you do not need to top them to secure satisfactory plants. Give Easter Greeting a chance and you will be surprised at what it will do for itself, but do mot forget for a moment that all of your plants must be kept in a healthy, growing condition all the time. If they need repotting, do it at once. In the case of large stock plants that cannot be repotted, you can feed them. We think a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees will produce the best plants. In a higher temperature the plants are liable to make a soft growth, which may mean trouble later. We have had no trouble with disease. As to insects, you can keep them at bay by following the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Hydrocyanic acid gas is the cure. To have nice plants in bloonj for Easter, you must have good plants to shift to 4-inch pots in November. Then Pelargonium Easter Greeting Grown by J. N. Spanabel & Sons, East Palestine, O. keep thein going and you will not need to worry about their not being in flower in time. The plants shown in the illustration are in 5-inch pots. The cuttings were taken late in August. The photograph was taken April 1. J. N. Spanabel. KANSAS CITY. The Market. The florists of this city have two things to be thankful for. We may not be contented with conditions as they have been for the last three months, but we should be thankful that an increase of business was done at Thanksgiving. It was noticed, also, about ten days before Thanksgiving, that business in general made a jump to the old standard of a year ago and has kept going along nicely ever since. This is the general report. The florists have made every effort to attract atten- tion. Window displays were a big im- provement over those of last year. Thanksgiving day practically cleaned out all the chrysanthemums for this year, as there are only one or two growers who have any left. November 23 everybody thought there were plen- ty, with some to spare. No one had any idea chrysanthemums would retail as high as 75 cents to $1 each, which they did just before noon. Yellow mums were cleaned up entirely, only a few white and pink remaining. It is thought the latter were not far enough developed to sell. With chrysanthemums out of the way, carnations will make some ad- vance within a few days, as the prices now asked are below those of last year. Carnations are showing better quality, have stiffer' stems, are better in color and larger in size. Eoses are not so plentiful as they were, especially in red. Last week there was a shortage of Beauties and Mrs. Chas. Kussell. A shortage also was noted in Milady and Richmond in the better grades. Killar- ney and White Killarney were plentiful. Killarney is losing its color and it means that the call for other roses will bo hpavipr. Yellow roses are in little 4 demand. Good violets are scarce. Peas are plentiful and of good quality. Stevia and narcissi are more plentiful. A good many cattleyas are grown in this city, but the trade seems to keep the market cleaned up on them. Various Notes. L. C. Fields, Tenth street and Spitlog avenue, Kansas side, had quite an ex- perience November 23. A man of prosperous appearance, driving a fine car, stopped at the Fields store and ordered $2.50 worth of flowers to be delivered to 741 Washington boulevard. He presented a check for $14.50, pock- eted $12 cash change and departed. Afterwards $10 was missing from Mr. Fields' pocketbook, which was on the counter, and the check was found to be bogus. The address given was found to be a vacant lot. The police say the car was stolen. A. F. Barbe is cutting some nice carnations and stevia and says business has been all that could be expected. W. J. Barnes reports Thanksgiving shipping business as a big increase over that of last year. He was sold out of chrysanthemum plants. The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. reports a clean-up on all cut flowers. Prices were better than expected. The Rosery sold out on everything and reports business better than last year. For one decoration Samuel Murray used 125 orchids for the table alone. He reports business good for Thanks- giving. Mr. Murray's window display included two large standard azaleas, in full bloom and about six feet high. A. Newell had a big run on yellow, chrysanthemums and sold them at a^ price above what he expected. T. J. Noll & Co. received a heavy consignment of stock for Thanksgiving, but by noon everything was disposed of. W. L. Rock Flower Co. had two houses, 27x225, filled with mums this year, which gave an exceptionally fine crop of flowers. J. E. Murray & Co. report a big increase of business in the last ten days. Mrs. T. A. Mosoly, across the state / 26 The Florists^ Review DncnuBBB 3, 1914. line, had a splendid business last week and cquld have sold a great deal more stock. W. J. B. BXJPFALO, N. y. The Market. The weather last week was cold and clear, warming up just a little before Thanksgiving day. Business was good, because of the favorable weather. Chrysanthemums were fairly well cleaned up, with the exception of poor varieties that were scarcely salable. Large chrysanthenlums did not seem as good this year as last, but the pompon varieties were excellent. Carnations sold well and brought a fair price. Roses were abundant, but the prices were only fair. Paper Whites, mar- guerites, stevias and cosmos are to be had. Cattleya orchids are plentiful, with firm prices. Lily of the valley is excellent and there are some good sweet peas. Violets sold well at Thanksgiv- ing. Plants, such as begonias, prim- roses, cyclamens, etc., were plentiful. Ferns, Asparagus plumosus, smilax and galax are plentiful. Black alderberries, boxwood and Christmas greens have ar- rived. Various Notes. Jacob B. Wiese reports Thanksgiving trade as good and on a par With last year. The Lenox Flower Shop had a fine holiday trade and Mr. Alberts is well pleased with results. This firm is in- ^ troducing dainty little bunches of satin rosebuds in pink and red, with delicate foliage. These are used on the handles of baskets, etc., and can afterward be worn, since they are non-perishable. , ; Will Greever, at Palmer's branen store, had a big trade for Thanksgiving. It was as good as last year, it is re- ported. Peter Hoffman found business good last week. Wm. F. Kasting has purchased the Newman Greenhouses, at Akron, N. Y. He will grow carnations for the Buf- falo market. He also does a small re- tail business there. He expects to use the residence on the estate for a sum- mer home. S. A.

Milady and Bichmond, while in much greater supply, also were short of the demand. Bulgaria, Sunburst, Ward, Shawyer and Hadley all were called for in greater quantity than the market could furnish at any price. Killarney Brilliant cleaned up nicely, but quite a few had trouble getting a price for Killarney, the color being too poor. White Killarney was not in large supply or special request. Violets sold better than at any time since last Christmas and cattleyas were short. There was an abundance of valley. Sweet peas, when good, sold nicely. All the odds and ends of stock cleaned up in good shape. After Thanksgiving the market is so bare of stock and the demand was so strong that everything was brisk to November 30, when stock again began to come in heavily. Roses became abun- dant and carnations overabundant. The supply of carnations was so much larger than usual for Thanksgiving that this flower was the one item that was not held stiff and at the beginning of this week the supply had become so heavy that prices were on the down grade while other stock was holding up to seasonable values. Not only are the carnation cuts large but the quality everywhere is specially good. The values are so unusual that sooner or later the buyers must realize money is to be made pushing carnations. Also the pompon mums are about gone, which should help the carnations. The week opened with four days of sunless weather and temperature about 20 degrees above normal, unfav- orable conditions for selling flowers and still more unfavorable for quality in the stock. Everything is softening. It is to be hoped the weather man is correct in predicting cooler conditions and brighter skies. Club Will Dance.

In general the month was characterized by warm, sunshiny weather and a marked ab- sence of precipitation; in fact, the total fall for the month was but 0.33 inch, the least amount of precipitation re- corded in any November during thii period of ofScial records with the ex-i ception of that of 1904. The only cold weather occurred from No- vember 16 to 23. The remaining days averaged much above the nort- mal. There were ten days during tli6 month with 100 -per cent of sunshine, and the monthly percentage of possible. DacEiiBBR 3, 1914. The Florists^ Review 31 FUNERAL DESIGNS A SPECIALTY!

Bailey, on the afternoon of Thanksgiving day, at Trinity Lu- theran church, of which the groom is pastor, in Oak Park. The decorations were in charge- of John Michelsen, who had a long training in the use of flowers with C. Frauenfelder. Imme- diately after the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Amling, 708 Forest avenue. The couple are on a honeymoon trip east. That the trade has not awakened to the money-bringing qualities of Mrs. Bussell rose is the l)elief of John Zech, who says many florists are selling the rose too cheaply. He adds that the extra money they would get by asking for it would be profit. The geastronomic feats of George Rozakles, of Rozakles & Sgoros, 19 West Madison street, with special em- phasis on the size of his Thanksgiving dinner, occupied considerable space in the magazine section of the Pittsburgh Press November 22. An illustration and the menu of his holiday dinner accompanied the article. One-half of the $20,00Q worth of bonds issued by the Yorkville & Union Grove Greenhouse Co., of Union Grove, Wis., to liquidate its outstanding lia- bilities, is being taken over by the Lord & Burnham Co. through its Chi- cago office. The remainder of the bonds, of the sum of $100 each, draw- ing interest at seven per cent, are being offered to residents jpf Union Grove and vicinity^ The 3-year lease of Guy W. French'^and Richard Salm on these greenhouses does not begin till next March. One of the latest additions to the equipment of Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, is a nailing machine for the box factory. It cost $650, but is expected to be a worth-while economy. After a little more than a month's absence, Ernest Oechslin is again able to attend to business. He was in an automobile accident October 28, suffer- ing a broken collar bone and other injuries. The will of Emanuel E. Pieser, de- ceased president of Kennicott Bros. Co., was filed for probate November 27. It designates Helen Pieser, the widow, as executrix and sole beneficiary. The value of the estate was stated to be $23,000. According to C. L. "Washburn, this was the best Thanksgiving Bassett & Washburn have experienced in years. Beauty orders showed a large increase over last year. Roses also moved ex- ceptionally well, but carnation orders were mnch smaller than was expected. S. Y.

She says the reason for her steady rose sales is the good quality stock she secures from J. A. Budlong, which is nice of her, don't you think! King* of Plumes, a late yellow pom- Son, made big money last season for [. Wehrman, of Maywood, and he is again sending in a fine lot of it that is selling well, although not at last year's prices. Emil Reithling, chief of Peter Rein- berg's greenhouse staff, says that valley will be forced again this winter, a supply of cold storage pips having been procured and some of them already in the sand. Mr. Reinberg, with his chiefs of staff, made a tour of the establish- ment Sunday and expressed himself as well pleased with the prospects. A. T. Pyfer says the bronze pompon named after the late Mrs. Beu is the best seller on the market in its season. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Wanzer, of Wheaton, -announce the engagement of their daughter, Alice Finch, to Douglas Tweedic. The wedding will take place in February. John Michelsen says the E. 0. Am- ling Co. handled more chrysanthemums last week than in any seven days in the history of the business, and that the better grades brought more money than ever before in Thanksgiving week. Statice from Germany arrived in quantity November 30. The market is full of it, but much of it is low grade stock. Hal Kennicott, secretary of Kenni- cott Bros. Co., has returned from Florida. Old-timers in the market read the Sunday murder mystery story with special interest because the murder took place where the old exchange was lo- cated, on Lake street.

Miss Catherine Vesey, a student at Western College, Oxford, O., was a guest at the Vesey home over Thanksgiving. R. F. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Thanksgiving business, on the whole, was not up to expectations by any meand. The wholesalers found the de- mand not nearly so heavy as last year. Stock was plentiful and prices were much lower this year on fancy grades of roses, chrysanthemums, carnations and sweet peas. November 23 the consignors failed to send in much of anything, which made the retailers think a shortage was at hand, but stock arrived in abundance the next "three days and the prices eased oflf. Chrysanthemums are showing that their time is about over. The consign- ments are not nearly bo heavy as they were. Yellow Jones, Chadwick and Eaton are the varieties still with us. These sell well. Roses are not over- plentiful and it seems as though our local growers are somewhat oflf crop. This should bring them in right for the holidays. Carnations, too, are a little oflf in supply, but no shortage is ex- pected. The market is fairly well sup- plied with sweet peas, violets, Paper Whites, stevia, valley and lilies. There is a fairly good supply of all kinds of greens. Various Notes. The annual banquet given by the Missouri Botanical Garden took place November 27, at the University Club.

Thanksgiving was an agreeable sur- prise, inasmuch as it was better than expected; weather perfect, shipments about equal to the demand, prices rea- sonable, and everybody satisfied. The general demand in the retail de- partment of the business was quite be- yond expectations. The call for bas- kets of flowers for the Thanksgiving table decorations taxed the genius of the floral artists to their capacity. "There U Just one fault to find with the flo- rist waffOD I bought from yon — It lias doubled my trade and makes me work almost day and nljfht." That Is what Mr Fred F.

American Beauties brought excellent prices for the holiday, but fell rapidly when it was over, the best of them falling, November 28, to 30 cents. These carried the other thirty varieties with them, so that all roses had to share in the retreat. There can be no fault found with the quality of the roses. They are at their best. There are not enough of the newer varieties, and Hadley, Shawyer, Sunburst, Rus- sell and Taft are running a close race for largest recognition, with Ward, Mock and the double Killarneys close behind. The mum has had its day. There will be a fair showing of the reserves until Christmas, but few now arriving command over .$2 per dozen.

The florists of the national capital are somewhat disappointed with the re- sults of their Thanksgiving day busi- ness. The preceding (lays were warm and fair, causing the market to be over- crowded with stock. There had been a marked scarcity of Beauties at $3 and $4 per dozen, but on Thanksgiving day they were without a market at less than half those figures. Even er dozen. Eaton and Bonnaffon, Cliadwicks in all varieties. Dr. Engue- hard. Golden Wedding and Maud Dean were the favorites. A few .Terome .lones were on the market and in fine condition. William Turner chrysanthe- mums are about off tlie market, al- though a few fine specimens are still to be had. Carnations moved better, bringing up to $4 per hundred, but this price has since receded to $2 for the best. Roses, while not strictly Thanks- gi\ing day flowers, sobt well, especially the vellow varieties, which were not in sufficient quantity to fill all demands. Aaron Ward was the most popular. The orchid-fiowering sweet peas are excep- tionally good. Stevia is to be had at 50 cents per bunch, but is in limited demand. The mignonette now to be had at $4 to $6 is as fine as has ever been seen here and the same applies to valley, which brings an average of $4. There is still a great scarcity of violets. For some reason, during the last ten days this flower has ceased to bloom and the dealers are forced to de- pend upon the Rhinebeck production of doubles, whereas the local demand is for singles. The present week started with over- clouded skies and the prospects for cool weather are good. These are in- dications of a shorter supply of stock and naturally of increased prices. With the market far from normal, this will be welcomed by all of the growers. The European war is having a marked effect on business here. With the differences existing between the diplomats of the belligerent countries, it is impossible to give the elaborate state dinners of former years. There is to be a general curtailment of enter- tainments during the coming season and it is said that society leaders will this year conteftf themselves with simple affairs. There will be the usual num- ber of debutante teas, but the large balls and receptions will be few. The recent bereavement of President Wilson eliminates all possibilities of social ac- tivities at the White House and there will be no entertainments at which he will be the guest of honor.

George Beinberg, Chicago, and more recently connected with Domoto Bros., OaJiland, has been ill and his doctor has sent him to Los Angeles to re- cuperate. He is considerably thinner and I hardly knew him, but of course it will only be a matter of time when he will get fixed up all right here. Fred Sperry reports a fine shipping business at the store of the L. A. Fioral Co. He is handling the pink seedling carnation, Mrs. Welsh, grown by El- gert & Martin, of Covina. G. Newman, of S. Murata & Co., is on a business trip to San Francisco. Busi- neaa ke^ps up well here. Wright's Flower Shop reports a big week's business and several important wedding deeorations for early in De- cember. The Germain Seed & Plant Co. is handling big lots of A-^alley how, both cold storage pips and cut stock. The demand for pips for Christmas forcing haa been away beyond expectations. C. Gutting appears to have recovered from the shock of his near-electrocu- tion and is dodging the traffic as nimbly as ever. He reports a fine de- mand for his Christmas plants. H. W. Turner reports a big demand for roses, on some days more than can be filled from the big greenhouses. Tony Tassano and his two brothers apparently put in a good deal of time at the store now, when business is booming. The quality of the green goods shipped in from their Glendale nursery is fine. Big shipments of northern greens continue to arrive at the store of the California Evergreen Co. and are quickly cleaned up daily. H. R. Richards. POBTLAND, ORE. The Market. The extra demand for flowers for Thanksgiving has tended to make con- ditions more nearly normal than they have been at any time this fall. This extra business was as brisk as was ex- pected and all had stock of excellent quality to meet the call. While the volume of stock handled probably nearly equaled that of last ye.ar, the amount received from the sales was less by at least twenty per cent. This decrease is divided between the grower and retailer in about equal shares. The public has had the bene- fit, getting extra fine flowers at low prices. This accounts, perhaps, for the large sales reported. Some retailers re- port good business from their regular customers; others think their large Thanksgiving sales were due to drop-in customers. There was a normal de- mand from outside points, and shippers were busy. Potted plants sold well, cyclamens being the favorites. The beautiful weather Thursday brought people out and made trade brisk in corsages and boutonnieres. A few violets still come in from the vicinity, but the bulk of the stock is California-grown. Orchids are more plentiful, Cattleya labiata leading. Various Notes. Henry Clemmens, the sweet pea spe- cialist of Newberg, was a visitor Fri- day. He reports having greatly en- larged his outdoor area of sweet pea stock and says it is his intention to Growers, Shippers of the Famous ESTABLISHED 1890 Violets, Chrysan- themums, Greens, etc. QUALITY BRAND No florist ean afford to be without our flowers.

Salane, who closed his store on East Morrison street last June, is open- ing a store in the New Orpheum build- ing, 103 Broadway. A step iu the right direction, from a florist's viewpoint, has been taken by the Sunnyside camp of the Wood- men of the World. Under the auspices of this camp, with W. C. Dietz as chair- man of the committee of arrangements, an amateur flower show was held at their hall, at East Thirty-fourth and East Yamhill streets, Tuesday evening, November 24. Several growers and re- tail firms had exhibits, but the contest was solely between amateurs, in out- door blooms and home-grown house plants. J. Gould, Ellen C. Walker and Geo. L, Routledge were the judges. The contest was open to everyone and the show was free to the public. The florists supplied the prizes. A special demand has arisen this sea- son for large specimen shrubs of all sorts, including conifers. Upright cotoneasters in several varieties are at- tracting special notice this year. With their glossy green foliage and red ber- ries, they are quite decorative, es- pecially when used as specimen shrubs. Geo. W.

Buenitz, who has greenhouses at Palatine Hill, has opened a flower store at 382 Yamhill street, in the Ma- sonic Temple building. The Floral Studio reports brisk sales in the Toya berries, a shipment of which was brought up from California. S. B. Hendee and Mrs. Hendee have opened a new store in the lobby of the Eilers building, 142 Broadway. C. W. W. TAOOMA, WASH. The Market. There seemed to be much doubt among the retailers as to what was to be expected for Thanksgiving day business, but there is no doubt now as to what they should have done. Many were inclined to light buying, with the result that they were short of stock when the rush came. Chry- santhemums sold well, the medium grades having perhaps the greatest call, although the fancy ones cleaned up well. Pompons sold well, as they have during the entire season. There was not nearly enough to meet the de- mand. Carnations are still slightly in excess of the demand, but are going off crop, and it looks as though there would be a shortage for the Christmas holidays. Paper Whites and Romans have made their appearance and are of good quality, with no great demand at this early season. Potted stock in bloom is still scarce, with a good call for ferns and small palms. Various Notes. The Florists' Club meets Thursday night, December 3. J. L. S. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Thauk.sgiving business hardly came up to expectations, but, considering everything, there was little reason to complain. There seemed to be the usual crowds of flower buyers, but the sales were hardly so good as in former years and the cheap grades of flowers were in greatest demand. There was a bountiful supply of chrysanthemums of many varieties and the quality gen- erally ruled high. As usual at this season, chrysanthemums were the flow- ers most asked for; consequently, though the prices of mums were in general lower than usual, they were well cleaned up. Carnations, owing to the recent slashing of prices, were not much sought for and the usual price of 75 cents was prevalent, though one store had them placarded at 50 cents a dozen. There were a few poinsettias in some of the stores, but they were little asked for. Roses are now at their best and large quantities are being sold. Valley is fairly plentiful and there are the usual unlimited quantities of Cali- fornia violets. In potted stock, some mum plants sold well, but the greatest demand was for cyclamens, of which there were more than enough. Some cinerarias were offered, but the keeping quality of these plants at this season is none too good and they are far from profit- able to retailers.

Though the shipments are later than usual, there seems to be no short- age, any more than there is of other European stock. T. W. CASH PREVENTS BANKRUPTCY. "The trend of the times," said R. J. Roulston, in addressing a wholesale gro- cers' convention, "is 'Get the Cash,' that great economizer, conserver and distributer of human effort, which con- cretely designates tangible worth in every man, and makes available to the other that which he cannot or does not produce himself. ' ' The way the wholesale grocer is urged to * * get the cash " is by allowing a uni- form discount of two per cent on all payments made within ten days of date of invoice — and to restrict their sales to buyers who do not take advantage of the opportunity to save the two per cent. In the florists ' business cash discounts are scarcely known — indeed, a commis- sion dealer operating on fifteen per cent probably would think he could not afford it, although some of them have seen years when they would have been glad to have limited the loss on bad credits to that percentage of their total sales. The way the wholesale grocers figure it is this: "It is not only reasonable and right to ask two per cent for cash — it is good, sound, business economy to grant it. It means a check on reckless merchandising — in the way of heedless speculation and careless giving of credit. It means wholesome and beneficial economy to the general community, as it tends to the lessening of bad debts, and lays the burden of paying for what you get more evenly upon the people as a whole. If our ideal is reached there will be no need of the bankruptcy law," as cash means no bankrupts."

Everyone seems to have been satis- fied with Thanksgiving business. The volume of trade agreeably surprised both wholesalers and retailers, and, al- though prices did not make the usual advance in some lines, the general ver- dict is that, all things considered, busi- ness was good. Boses sold out well November 25. Some select Beauties made $6 per dozen, but only a limited number could be sold at that price, $25 to $35 per hundred being a more general rate. The demand for me- diums was better than that for long- stemmed flowers. Hadley and Rich- mond sold well at from $3 to $20, the latter price for specials. Russell, Ophelia, Shawyer, Killarney Queen, Sunburst and Ward all went well at from $3 to $12, some select flowers making more. Killarney and White Killarney sold at $3 to $10. Carna- tions were in short supply and made from $3 to $5; Gorgeous made $6. Vio- lets averaged $1 per hundred. Chrysanthemums were in heavy sup- ply and sold well at moderate prices. The bulk made $5 to $12 per hundred. Only a few fancies made $2 or over. Pompons, particularly bronze, sold ex- tremely well. There was little change in valley, lilies. Paper Whites or corn- flowers. Snapdragons moved slowly, but yellow marguerites sold well. There was no special call for gardenias or cattleyas, although both cleaned up well. Plant trade was only moderate, ■UtiMS.

FLORIST with begonias, cyclamens and chrys- anthemums leading. While business November 25 was excellent, on Thanks- giving morning there was little doing in wholesale quarters. Since Thanksgiving, trade has held up well and a more optimistic feeling is abroad all around. There are still plenty of chrysanthemums, Bonnaffon leading all others in popularity. Car- nations are cleaning up well, as most of the growers are off crop. Roses are lower and drag somewhat, especially Killarney and White Killarney. Sin- gle violets are of good quality, but there is general complaint of the crop being light. Snapdragons are not sell- ing well, but will improve as mums get out of the way. Paper Whites are abundant and stevia is coming from several growers. Gardenias are of bet- ter quality; the best make $3 per dozen. Cattleya labiata is less abun- dant, but a good many C. Percivaliana are arriving. Plant trade as yet is somewhat quiet, but a good Christmas demand is looked for and all growers are well equipped to meet it. Various Notes. J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, sold 400 dozen Bonnaffons November 25. These were fine, heavy flowers, although grown three to a plant. He has a splendid lot of yellow marguerites com- ing along.

Henry Penn says that Thanksgiving trade was a surprise, and a pleasant one at that. Business exceeded that of 191.3. Chrysanthemums were the leaders among cut flowers, but all va- rieties sold well and a good many flow- ering plants were also sold. The Waban Rose Conservatories cut a splendid lot of Kussell, Hadley, Kil- larney Brilliant and White Killarney for Thanksgiving. Among the new roses, Afrs. Moorfiejd Storey maintains its popularity. Some Ophelia is being grown and it is iloing well. Peter Hylen, of Randolph, is now almost cleaned out of mums, but still has a nice lot of Bonnaffons and yel- low baby pompons. He has Paper Whites in quantity, but will not have daffodils for Christmas. The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. is doing a considerable business in cyclamens, begonias and foliage plants, in addition to bulbs, which have cleaned up well. .James F. At. Farquhar is planning to spend the winter in southern Cali- fornia. A year ago he went to Porto Rico. He likes the climate there, but the food is not of the best. H. A.

They had a fine orchid window Novem- ber 28. A large basket of Ophelia roses was a feature in one window. This loae is wonderfully popular here. Among the growers of superb simgle violets this season are William Spills- bury and Charles Sanborn, of Woburn, and Kidder Bros. Many changes have been made in the schedule for the fall show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, in November, 1915. The major portion of the fruit and vegetable classes from the annual October show are trans- ferred to the November show, from which the name "chrysanthemum" will liereafter be dropped. Wax Bros, report Thanksgiving busi- ness as ahead of 1913. In chrysanthe- mums, Bonnaffons and dark bronze pom- pons were the leaders. They had a beautiful casket cover of Hadley and White Killarney roses for a funeral in Middleboro, November 24; also numer- ous other designs. Their new delivery car is giving them good service. As proof of the value of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery, the writer was shown a large bundle of orders for Thanksgiving delivery from all parts of the United States. F. J. Dolansky is cutting a fine crop of Cattleya Percivaliana. He had a good cut of long-stemmed gardenias for Thanksgiving. P. J. Donahoe reports Ophelia rose as a good seller. He is getting splendid shipments of Killarney Brilliant, White Killarney, Hadley and Russell from the Montgomery Co. His Beauties from Paul R. Pierson are, as usual, of top- notch quality. Welch Bros Co. had a good Thanks- giving trade, the shipping orders far exceeding their expectations, and they are optimistic as to the Christmas trade. A. M.

Azaleas are here in abundance, as well as camelliai, cyclamens, poinsettiaa and numerous other plants. Special mention shoUld be made of the grand stock of Asplen- ium Nidus-Avis and cibotiums. The Boston Cut Flower Co. was well pleased with Thanksgiving business, which equaled that of a year ago. W. N. C. PITTSBUBOH. The Market. Pittsburgh had a good Thanksgiving. Almost everything cleaned up, but prices were held down, as the demand was only for stock that could be sold at a reasonable price. About the only flowers on which the prices were jumped were Beauties, and the retailers just let them alone. Notwithstanding the warm, bright weather all fall and the prediction that there would be no chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving, there never were so many nor did they ever sell so cheaply. But, taking it all in all, it was a good day's business, with no shortage on anything, and the out- look is for plenty of flowers from now until Christmas.

Randolph & McClements, after they had completed a good Thanksgiving business, took an order for a blanket that called for a couple of thousand pink roses besides the valley. Novem- ber 30 they made another of white roses. Mrs. E. A. "Williams, in connection with her regular trade, had several large social affairs and wound up with a large wedding Thanksgiving night. Miss Emma Maxwell, of WUkins- burg, Pa., says she can find no fault with business. Possibly her new store is partly responsible, but the fact that she always carries a complete line of good stock and gives personal attention is quite a factor. Miss Nellie G. King says her first holiday surprised her; she was hardly prepared for the volume of business, but handled it nicely. Geo. L. Huscfoft, Steubenville, 0., reports the fiorists' business in that city at least as good as any other line of trade. "West "Virginia went dry, but Arthur Langhans says that cut flower business in "Wheeling is better than most other lines of business. Stanley "Wehrley, manager of the new store of the Hayman Greenhouse Co., in Fairmont, "W. "Va., is making quite a success. The arrangement of the shop is unique. The windows are LOUISVILLE, KY.

Business has steadily increased dur- ing the last week and a decided im- provement is noticed. The Thanks- giving day trade was quite successful. According to the report from the wholesale house, business was larger than last year; there was no great in- crease, but they are well pleased. Ex- cellent stock has been obtainable all the week, and lots of it. Chrysanthe- mums were in fine shape, especially those grown at home. Large quanti- ties of Bonnaffou, Nagoya, Patty, Eaton, Chadwick and many other varieties were shipped in daily. The supply of Beauties was good and the color was rich. Fancy Beauties brought fancy prices. There was a large supply of other roses and a good demand, with better prices. Shawyer and Sunburst are two popular roses here and sell well. Small Wards and Cecile Brun- ner roses are used extensively in the making of the small, old-fashioned colonial corsages that are now popular. ST. LOUIS, MO.

Members Florists' Telegraph Delivery Aaeoclation These small roses, with stevias, Pa- per Whites and valley, make a pleas- ing combination. Sweat peas were not nearly sufficient to meet the demand. The sale of vio- lets was not nearly so good as usual. Easter lilies are fairly plentiful, but callas are scarce. A full supply of valley is on hand. The supply of car- nations has increased in the last few days. There are plenty of cattleyas and oncidiums, but the price is rather low. There are some fine gardenias and bouvardias, but these do not move rapidly. The supply of greens is suf- ficient for the demand. Funeral work has been heavy all the week. An increased number of cor- sages and decorations proves the fact that social functions, which are late in starting, are here at last. Various Notes. The Rochester Floral Co. reports a satisfactory Thanksgiving business. Henry P. Neun says business is pretty good. He had an annex for Thanksgiving on West Main street, near the Club theater. Harry Brush managed it for him. Visitors during the week included J. T. Stiles, representing William B. Lake, of Philadelphia, and John Bubach, of the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh. Good, brisk business was done by J. B. Keller Sons during the whole week, especially for Thanksgiving day. H. E. Wilson is well pleased with business for November 26.

The 1915 congressional free seed dis- tribution starts this week. Alarm on account of the European seed supplies has subsided. No serious delay is apprehended. The assignment of the Henry PhUipps Seed & Implement Co., of Toledo, O., is recorded under the head of Business Em- barrassments in this issue. Seedsmen in Santa Clara county, Cal., have about completed the work of plant- ing their onion crop for this season. Some 80,000 sacks of onions were used. W. J. Fosgate, L. M. Komberlin, of the Kimberlin Seed Co., and Thomas Landrum, of C. C. Morse & Co., are among California seedsmen at present touring the east. G. W. CuMMiNGS, a stockholder in the Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., Sioux City, la., and nephew of G. H. Cum- mings, secretary of the company, is re- ceiving congratulations on his marriage, Thanksgiving day. There is a tendency toward an easier market for nearly all seeds, perhaps in sympathy with general business condi- tions during the last three months, but probably also because the immediate ef- fects of the European war as regards seed supply were overestimated. In their advance offer of sweet peas for 1915, issued November 23, W. Atlee Burpee & Co., say : * ' Never before was there a better prospect for a large and fine crop of sweet pea seed in America than during the spring of 1914, but un- fortunately after the vines had started to run they were attacked by countless mil- lions of aphis. Every attempt was made to save the crops by careful and con- stant spraying, but only a few fields out of the many planted survived, and we are therefore facing another short supply of seed. ' ' POSTAGE ON PEAS A2XT> BEANS. A seedsman writes to The Review as follows: "We have read with interest the various letters published in The Review relative to cataloguing seeds, whether to offer them prepaid as in the past or to ask purchaser to add postage for parcel post charges. We believe that the only logical way is to list the seeds postpaid, as in the past,* and thereby prevent considerable cor- respondence, as we find that only about one out of twenty-five will include enough postage. It seems that most people believe that they live in closer zones than they really do, and, besides. Braslan Wbaltsala Srawera af the fallowiai Calif araia SpaciiHias aaiy: ONISR, LHIUCE. CMROT.

"But what we want to get at is this: In the past we have always listed our peas and beans as follows: 'Pint, 15c (by mail, 23c) ; quart, 25c (by mail, 40c).'

Of course scarcely any two houses make exactly the same showing. Some houses have a worth-while business in the sixth, seventh and eighth zones, but some important houses find they have nothing of consequence beyond the fifth zone. Consequently they can base their catalogue prices on fifth, fourth, third or local zone distribution as fits their individual situation. It was at once apparent, when seeds and catalogues were put under the zone rates, that it was in favor of the local seedsman as against the houses with nation-wide business. PEA PACKERS CONVENE. Wisconsin canners, who are said to pack over half the peas put up in the United States, are holding a record con- vention at Milwaukee this week, but reports on the second day indicate that the seedsmen, who are present in con- siderable force, are not booking the usual business.

Ou- werkerk imported 165 cases of plants and shrubs, nineteen of which were in- voiced as Rhododendron Ponticum. The latter were assessed for duty at the port of New York under the tariff act of 1909 at twenty-five per cent ad val- orem as nursery stock. The importer claimed that they should have been admitted free as evergreen seedlings and appealed from the decision of the customs collector to the judgment of the United States Board of Appraisers, which announced its decision in an opinion by General Appraiser Waite, as follows: "No testimony was taken, either upon the part of the importer or tbe government, and now the importer asks in his brief that a finding be made in his favor as to a certain percentage of these goods, on the report of tbe ap- praiser, which was to the effect that between sixty and seventy per cent of the goods were produced by grafting, from which the importer assumes that thirty per cent were not grafted, and hence would be seedlings and therefore free. "We think there is no question that a separation of goods may be made so as to make each variety bear the rate of duty provided by the statute. We are not disposed, however, to make a finding upon the report of the appraiser in this case. In the first place, he ex- amined only one bale out of the nine- teen; he does not appear to have re- ported the amount of grafted stock for the purpose of having it accepted as a basis for the separation of the goods, but merely to justifv his action in as- sessing the importation as an entirety, Headquarters for Calinia PM HeUgiog Fully half a million plants for sale. 2-year 3 to 4 feet 3-year 3 to 4 feet 3-year 4 to 5 feet For screens 5 to 6 feet For screens 6to7 feet 1-year 12 to 18 inches 1-year 1^^ to 2 feet 2-year l^u to 2 feet 2-year 2 to 2*2 feet 2-year 2 to 3 feet 2-year 2i« to 3 feet All well branched, bright and clean.

Hence we are not disposed to accept this report in the place of proof which should have been furnished by the im- porter. In other words, the presumption prevails that the finding of the collector IS right. There is nothing in the case, in oui» judgment, to overcome that pre- sumption.

A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the National Association of Gar- deners, consisting of its trustees and directors, will be held at the Hotel Walton, Broad street, Philadelphia, Pa., on Wednesday forenoon, December 9, at 11 o'clock. Attention is directed to the following resolution adopted at the executive meeting of the associa- tion held in Philadelphia, April, 1914: ". , . As it is essential that every member of the executive board should take an active interest in the welfare of the association and should have op- portunity afforded him to make sugges- tions in connection with, and offer opinions upon, the policy of the asso- ciation; therefore, be it resolved, that an invitation be extended to the mem- bers of the board, that, when they can- not attend the meeting, they submit any suggestions they may have to offer in writing that can properly be brought before the meeting, arid that it shall be given the same consideration as though the member offering it were present in person." The bowling committee announces that all members intending to enter the bowling tournament at the conven- tion of the National Association of Gardeners must register at the busi- ness meeting in Horticultural hall on Wednesday afternoon, December 9. The business meeting will be called to order promptly at 2 o'clock. The bowling tournament will take place Thursday forenoon, December 10. The dinner committee has set the price at $2.50 per person for the annual banquet of the association, which will occur in Horticultural hall on Wednes- day evening, December 9. David Bust, Horticultural hall, Philadelphia, Pa., should be advised without delay by those members who will attend the banquet, so that proper provision can be made for them. Exhibits of novelties, specimen plants and cut flowers of the newer varieties should reach Horticultural hall before noon on Wednesday, December 9.

Thanks- giving trade was far better than was expected, partly due to the Thanks- giving football game between the Uni- versity of Tennessee and Kentucky State. Orange and white being the U. of T. colors, white and yellow chrysanthemums were in great demand, and everything of these colors was sold. The Kentucky colors, blue and white, were furnished by tying white carnations and chrysanthemums with blue and white ribbon. Various Notes. The last week has been a good one for A. H. Dailey. Besides having his share of Thanksgiving day business, he has been doing a large amount of funeral work. Boses are fine, and sweet peas are beginning to bloom heavily. Bulb business, which has been fine this year, is beginning to decline. Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno has been turn- ing out an abundance of funeral work the last week. She also had a splendid Thanksgfiving day trade. Her main crop at present is carnations. Addison J. McNutt is cutting some of the finest sweet peas ever grown in Knoxville. The orchid-flowering sorts are the largest and most prolific and seem to have made a hit with the public. C. W. Crouch reports a heavy Thanks- fiving day trade. This, in addition to uneral and wedding work, has kept the force in a continuous rush for the last week. They are cutting large quantities of stock, but not enough to supply the demand at all times. Mr. Crouch, who has been in Louisville, Ky., for some time, has returned home and is preparing to spend the winter in Florida. C. L. Baum had a good Thanksgiving day trade. He sold out all yellow and white chrysanthemums and could have sold several hundred more. Chrysan- themums have been fine, but will soon be a thing of the past. Carnations and orchids are blooming in profusion, while roses are only fair. R. E. M. NEW PEDKREED SEEDLING CARNATION Mrs. C.

Thanksgiving business in general was as good as could be expected, con- sidering what we have been up against for some time. The holiday seemed to put a little new life into the trade and almost everything but white carnations was cleaned up. There were some fancy chrysanthemums, however, that did not move as well as might have been ex- pected. There was the usual strong demand for Wisconsin violets, but these, while in fine condition, were not nearly suffi- cient to supply the demand. Roses sold exceptionally well and were cleaned up every day. They were in fine shape, but decreased in quantity daily, until finally the demand was greater than the supply. Carnations, on the whole, were good and the prices were better than heretofore. The supply of chrys- anthemums was steadily decreasing and the quality might have been better, but they sold fairly well and were almost cleaned out. They are about gone for the season. There are no lilies in the market now, nor will there be any for a few weeks. Some callas are seen, hut the quantity is negligible. Valley nai^ been fairly plentiful during the last week, but, being of fine quality, it found a ready sale. Beauties are in fair sup- ply, but the stems are longer than the demand calls for. Various Notes. Paul Boomer, of Boomer Bros., Beaver Dam, Wis., spent some time in Mil- waukee last week. While he did not neglect his florist friends, his sojourn here was of a social nature. Mrs. J. T. Hinchliffe, of Racine, Wis., was in this city November 20, looking things over for Christmas. A.

Thanksgiving day brought a large 'demand for cut flowers. Ghrysanthe- «nums were eagerly sought for. The football game created a big demand for yellow mums and every florist's -stock was cleaned up. Various Notes. Poinsettias at the Iowa Seed Co. ^eenhouses are opening their bracts, «ome reaching fifteen to sixteen inches in diameter. They are unusually tall this season, but give promise of a great •*rop. The J. Wilson Floral Co. cleaned cp pretty well on their chrysanthe- mums, Jeanne Nonin, their late white, coming well behind the Timothy Eaton family. There is a big demand for baby pompons, Zehobia leading. O. It. Kurtzweil, of the Iowa Seed -Co., was in an automobile accident and sustained a broken nose and severe bruises. He was returning from town with relatives, and as they crossed the -ear tracks to- turn in to his home, an- other automobile hit the car amidships, ■completely wrecking it and pitching ■out the occupants. Mr. Keeyes, owner, had a badly cut hand, Mrs. Keeyes a broken rib, and Sonny Keeyes a cut ■chin. Grandma Keeyes was rushed to the hospital, but her condition was :grave and she died November 26. The Alpha Floral Co. displayed a fine flhow of mums, cyclamens, azaleas, val- ley and violets, and everything helped toward an excellent Thanksgiving trade. W. D.

THE ABOVE PRICES ARE FOR THE TRADE ONLY. CLEVELAND O. The Market. Thanksgiving day business was a surprise to many; to a few of the al- ways optimistic, it was just what they erpected. Compared with previous years, some of which have been quite good for the florists' trade, it did not break any records. With some, this year was a small percentage aJiead; with a few, it ran behind some good years they have had. On the average, it was good, and considering the way business has been for the last few months, it was wonderful. Stock was good. Choice mums brought 12%, 15 and 18 cents. We have seen years when they brought 20 and 25 cents, but this year's prices satisfied the growers. Pink roses were scarce, as were yellow mums of the better grades. Pompons, pink and white mums and miscellaneous stock were equal to the brisk demand. White roses were about the only slow-selling stock. All hands have now begun to get their breath and to realize that Christ- mas is going to be one of the Christ- mases of old. Preparations for an enormous quantity of stock are being made. Everyone I have seen, grower, wholesaler or storeman, is convinced that this year's holiday business is go- ing to be all he can handle. The sup- position is that many will buy flowers or plants this year instead of more expensive presents. Other lines may suffer, but the outlook for the florist seems good. Look out for a plant and basket Christmas. Various Notes. The Smith & Fetters Co. had the Winslow-Devereux wedding, November 28, one of the society events of the year. Large quantities of fancy mums and long Beauties were used. Chas. Schwake, of C. Schwake & Co., .New York, was a visitor last week. The committee of the Florists' Club will meet next week to arrange matters for the exhibition of the Chrysanthe- mum Society of America, which will be held here November, 1915. A large trade show, with a liberal premium list, taking in carnations, roses, general stock and retail work, in addition to the mum entries, is planned. F. A, F. NEW "MUMS" The fall shows are now past, and you have no doubt jotted down the names of some varieties you will add to your stock next season. That is the way to keep abreast of the times. If you have not already done so, be sure you include our "Yellow Sport from Mrs. Chas. Rager." It will eventually be as widely grown as the white variety from which it sported. You run absolutely no risk in buying it. Send for our price list, which also includes Carnation cuttings and Gera- nium plants. We have both in large quantity and top quality.

There was enough stock to go around at reasonable prices and some surplus. The surplus was mostly in white flow- ers and carnations. Since that day the call for stock has been active. The rose supply continues heavy and is meeting a better market than be- fore. The carnation supply, also, is heavy, but the call for this flower is not up to normal, and there is a sur- plus. Lilies are plentiful. Callas meet with a fair request. Both valley and violets have only a fair sale. The chrysanthemum cut is about at an end. Only a limited number of late blooms and stragglers are coming into the wholesale houses. Other offerings in- clude stevia, orchids, narcissi, forget- me-nots, baby primroses and wall- flowers. Various Notes. Richard Kootz, formerly with the Fleischman Floral Co., Chicago, is now with the E. G. Hill Floral Co. This concern has put into use a new delivery car. C. E. Critchell reports a big demand for wild smilaz. E. G. Gillett has just received a ship- ment of nice, clean boxwood sprays. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been receiving some excellent valley. L. H. Kyrk reports an excellent busi- ness for Thanksgiving and the close of last week.

The north house and the next one south are each 12x100; the other three houses are each 15x100. The houses are five feet high to the gutters and twelve feet high to the ridge. The north and south walls of the range contain eighteen inches of glass; below the glass the walls are double-boarded. The boiler will be in a pit at the south- ■east corner of the range and will be six feet below the lowest greenhouse. I 'intend to use wood as fuel. Please tell me, also, in what proportions to use the materials in building a concrete smokestack. I. O. For piping the two houses which are 12x100, I would use a 2%-inch flow pipe in each ridge and three 2-inch returns on each side wall, underneath. In two of the houses 15x100 use a 314- inch flow on each plate and three 2-inch returns on each wall. In the south house place a 214-inch flow upon each plate and run five l^^-inch returns on the south wall and four on the north wall. In the foregoing suggestions', of course, the intention has been to enable you to use as largely as possible the piping you have on hand. For the chimney use sharp sand, gravel and Portland cement. The num- ber and size of the reinforcing rods will depend upon the size of the chim- ney, but half-inch round or square rods will probably answer. They should be placed in the center of the wall, about one foot apart, and there should be a horizontal ring every three feet. For the chimney use one part of cement, two parts of sand, finer than i4-i°ch, and four parts of gravel, i/4-inch to 2-inch, reducing the amount of gravel and sand one-half for the lower five feet and the upper foot of the chimney. CAPACITY OF HEATING SYSTEM. I have a range of four connected houses. Three of them are each 24x85 and twelve feet to the ridge; the other is 10x85 and eight feet to the ridge. The small house is enclosed by a glazed partition.

The Value of a Thermostat LET A FLORIST TELL IT TJERE is what a greenhouse man said in a letter to The Review: "The * * value of a thermostat in a greenhouse may possibly interest you, so I take the present opportunity of explaining its advantages. Three weeks ago I in- stalled a Standard thermostat, made by the Standard Thermometer Co., putting it in my rose house, 200 feet from the residence. After sundown each day I set the low contact hand at 57 degrees and the high contact hand at 65 degrees. The black temperature hand, to record 60 degrees, plays between these figures. Should the temperature rise or fall, the alarm bell, just over my bed, rings loudly. I consider this Instrument a boon to any florist with a me- dium-sized range, for it dispenses with the services of a night fireman. With correct firing, I can keep a steady temperature of 60 degrees at night in the rose house and also in four other houses, in all about 5000 feet of glass."— Thomas E. TowERsoN, Spring Station. Ky.

The whole system of piping is fed by ■a 6-inch main and there is a return of the fijuue size. The north ends of the houses are connected to the service building. The boiler used is a 9-section Giblin, with a grate area of 2,592 square inches, and it is assisted by an Ideal circulator. What temperature can be maintained in each of the houses? In this part of Washington state the outside temper- ature seldom goes below zero. How many more of the 24-foot houses can be heated by this boiler? G. D. R. The temperature which can be main- tained in a greenhouse depends to some extent upon the amount of glass in the exposed walls, as well as upon the con- , struction of the house and the exposure to cold winds, and none of these points is made perfectly clear in the inquiry. Under favorable conditions and pro- vided the houses in which there are three 2 V^ -inch pipes have only one ex- posed wall in each house, and this does not contain more than three feet of glass, I would expect to maintain a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees with the amount of radiation stated, and by heavy firing and the use of a circulator it should be possible to make it 60 to 65 degrees, when it is zero outside. If the single 24-foot house has two walls, with three feet of exposed glass in each, I would expect to keep it at 60 to 65 degrees, and by running the system under pressure the temperature could be raised 10 degrees. In the narrow house, provided it is a lean-to with only one exposed wall, it should be possible to keep the temperature at 55 to 60 de- gress, and even higher with heavy firing. I have never used a Giblin boiler of the size mentioned and do not know just how much may be expected from it, but from the amount of grate surface I would consider it safe for 4,500 square feet of radiating surface, or fifty per cent more than in the present houses. This estimate is for heating one-half of the houses to GO degrees and the bal- ance to 50 degrees, in zero weather. If temperatures above or below these are required, the capacity of the boiler will be materially changed. "The Superior Boiler" Tor Greenhouse Heating Superior Hachiiie & Bofler Wirb •40-S80 W.

Grip-tight, Bolted-through m Column Fitting ffWAS OVER 25 years ago that we origiuated and began using a Column Fitting that was "bolted through." We had seen houses equipped with the usual clamp fittings, that had their roofs lifted by the wind. So we made up our minds that the only way to make a fitting that could be abso- lutely depended on was to discard the friction, or clamp, grip and just plain bolt the fitting to the column. So. ever since, this has been our way of building our Half Iron and Full Iron Frame Houses. You may think this is a very little thing to devote an entire ad to, but we do it, simply to show you how every little detail always has been, and still is, looked after with the greatest care. It's because of this that we have earned the saying, " You can depend on depending on Hitchings." Aud we HO anywhere for business— or to talk business. Want to see us?

Further Interesting Facts About the New Davis Plant at Terre Haute. A SHORT TIME AGO. when I had a chat with Mr. Davis, at Davis Gardens, bis new plant at Terre Haute, Indiana, he mentioned a matter which strongly reflects the frank and fair type of the man. He said, "Some time ago I noted a cleverly worded statement, in the ads of one of the Greenhouse con- cerns, which would lead its readers to think that all the houses of a proposed mammoth range, said to be 'the largest in the world,' were to be erected at once. "By looking into the matter I find that only a certain few of the houses are to be put up now. "This made me think that perhaps in jus- tice to your Company and ours, we should tell just what there is about our proposition with its proposed 10 Growing Houses each 70x(500 feet; and 2 Propagating Houses each 200 feet long. The complete order for all these houses as you know was given to Lord & Burnham, with the understanding that they were to deliver and erect a house every 30 days, after September first. "The ink had hardly dried on the Contract when along came the war, temporarily knocking things flat. So we decided to put up only two or three houses at once; and the rest in 11»15, after things have picked up a bit. All the members of our Company are abun- dantly confident that business will be booming as never before in this big broad country of ours, before another six months is past. DAVIS "For our power plant and the houses now being erected, it is taking 75 carloads of material. "You know We bought 55 acres of land, and after taking what we wanted for our houses, the balance was cut up into 'Davis Gardens' building lots. Then we employed an advertising man from New York to advertise them. In 20 days' time we sold 90 out of the entire 115 lots. "We realized enough from that lot sale to pay for another house. In fact the returns were so satisfactory that only yesterday we bought several more acres right next to the original plot. These will at once be cut up, sold and promptly turned into still more glass and steel. "With our present range of 6 houses at Davenport, Iowa, and this one here, we are in a position to make quick shipments to practically 40% of the inhabitants of the whole country. "Besides sending to the regular commis- .slon men, we have several other channels of output being developed along entirely new lines." .lust as I was swinging on the trolley, Mr. Davis further said, "When that second house gets a little farther along, will seud you some photos of it, for use in your advertisiug." These photos, along with some more points of iuterest. we hope to have for you in a couple of weeks or so. TcM^oBtirnhainiQ.

JBRSEt CITY, NEW JERSEY. m The principle — Two layers of glass with a %-inch layer of dry still air Get ready for your winter garden . Glass must be used whether you garden for profit or simply to enjoy having vegetables and flowers when they are a luxury and sell high. And you must have Sunlight Doubl* Glass Sash if you want to get the best results at the least cost of money and labor. They have become the standard throughout the best and largest gardens in the country for very C;ood reasons: — Three reasons why 1 The air space enclosed between the two layers of glass makes a transparent cover that affords belter protection than the mats and shutters on the old single sash. And, it never has to be put on and of}. It is always there though invisible. 2 This air space saves more than one half the labor. 3 It makes far earlier and stronger plants. Our inexpensive greenhouse A handy man can set it up in a few hours. It is framed of cypress and covered top and sides with Sunlight Double Glass Sash which can be removed at will for use elsewhere or for repairs. Get our free catalogue // gives full particulars.

The Florists' Review # CYPRESS is recognized as the one wood for water tanks, troughs, vats and spouts, as well as for all laundry appliances. Its marvelous quality of rot-resistance puts Cypress in a class wholly by itself, especially when the use is a most trying one. To be wet on one tide and dry on the other side, and to be alternately sweated and dried up, and hot and cold at the same tinae, — all this just suits Cypress. You know it, we guess. ALSO, GET A BOOK There are 41 volumes in the CYPRESS Pocket Library, and each is authoritative. Vol. 4 is the Bam Book; Vol. 20 is the Farm Needs Book; Vol. 28 is the Trellis and Arbor Book, and Vol. 18 is a Bungalow Book— all profusely and handsomely illustrated. And they are very, very Free. If you are "handy with tools," then get the Vol. 36, the Carpentry Book. It shows how to make easy a dozen hard jobs of house and barn building. Write for one, or a dozen.

You can't believe anybody until you get our details and see it for yourself. Once you lake the time to investigate this wonderful new type, you won't have the other stuff at any price. It costs no more than the old style. It's all galvanized. It's perfectly rigid. It's the strongest house you can build. It's the only safe pipe frame made.

The cut shows the actual size. It is similar to Cecile Brunner, except that it has belter foliage on each individual stem, as shown by cut. The color is very bright yellow, periectly cVar on every petal. A yellow as yellow as the Florida orange. The Utile bud opens out perfeclly. Made up in bunches for corsage or for small baskets it is extremely attraclive. It grows very easily, does not mildew or spot and is very productive. The following is from the minutes of the Flo- rists' Club of Philadelphia, November 3, 1914: "The South Park Floral Co. exhibited a new. small rose somewhat like Swet-tht-art but a trifle larger. A veiy lovely, da'nty fl iMcr thai will surely ttad a demand and place along wiin other roses now considered stand- ard. The c.lor is a good b ittht yellow la the bad. which rale) somewrat as the fljwer opens, it is said to be very free and profitable as a forcing variety. DAVID RUST. Sec'y."

Not that this is another panic year — far from it! But 1907 was a year when general business was dull, when florists as a rule looked forward to Christmas without enthusi- asm— and yet it proved to be, all things considered, probably the best Christmas the trade ever has enjoyed. The Christmas of 1907 was a bad one for jewelers, for furriers and for dealers in other costly gift articles. Although florists generally were taken more op less by pleasant surprise, it proved an unusually good Christmas — the beat ever up to that time — for dealers in plants and cut flowers. Look in jj back, after the rush was over, the reason seemed clear: People who in prosperous years bought expensive Christ- mas gifts, in the off year bought flowers — "mes- sengers of sentiment" not costly as compared with seal coats and diamond rings. What was one man 's loss was another man's gain and it may turn out so again this year if what we hear of the early Christmas business in other lines holds good to the end. Business. Improving. General business rapidly is recovering from the shock it re- ceived when Europe went to war. Bight now the business sitaation simply is a state of mind — the loss of confidence may be quick, but its return is slow. By Christmas week business may be normal with other lines, in which event flo- rists will get their share, but if trade still is slow with the ({M|ii' iinJ t»eautiful lorm ;ni1 4.»lor.

IJ&te shop- ping always means more flowers, be- cause they are easy to buy. Florists never get much of the early business; their sales are mostly made in the last three days anyway, so there is ample time to get ready for and do a banner Christmas trade. HOLIDAY OUT FLOWEES. There is absolutely no cause for alarm on the part of cut flower grow- ers— they always will have first cftll on the Christmas demand. Frequently one Hears that the public would rather buy plants for the holi- days. It is not true. The public really prefers cut flowers. Any retailer will tell you that the only reason he is able to sell plants in large quantity for the holidays is because they have been lower in price than cut flowers. The retailer likes best to handle plants because they are not so perishable and he can take more time with them. Perhaps it is because cut flowers are recognized as more costly and more fragile than plants that the public really prefers the cut stock. Offer any buyer a box of good roses at a price somewhere near the price of a fairly showy plant and the choice almost invariably will be the cut flowers. This Christmas there should be an unusually large business in cut flowers. The indications are that the supply will be the largest ever known. In addition to the increase in glass that means normally increased production every Christmas, conditions this season have tended toward growers making special effort to bring their crops in for Christ- mas. Prices were so low in the autumn that growers pinched out a crop that otherwise would have come in around Thanksgiving and been off by Christ- mas. There is a feeling that prices this Christmas will not be excessive, giving the retailer the opportunity to. sell cut flowers to all who prefer them; it will not be necessary for retailers to push plants because they cannot make a satisfactory profit on cut stock. OHBISTMAS aBEENS. Christmas greens are no longer lim- ited to holly wreaths and strings of lycopodium; indeed, the better class of fiower stores no longer handle ground pine wreathing or the cheaper class of holly wreaths.

The big seller last Christmas was the tions. Although the department stores in some of the larger cities have en- croached on the florists' field, apparent- ly they are not going in strong enough to aflfect the business of flower stores. From all appearances, every flower store that sold baskets of ruscus last sea- son can sell greater numbers this Christitaas. Indeed, the sale already has been large, for flower stores began showing these baskets before Thanks- giving. Red baskets and red ribbon are most popular for Christmas, with red ruscus, combined usually with green ruscus or with boxwood. "While in- numerable styles of baskets are of- fered, there is nothing more popular than the well known high-handled bas- ket used in the trade these many years. By ■ the simple expedient of using^ a larger or smaller basket, the price of the completed article may be made to suit any purse. Hundreds of these baskets of large size will he sold this Christmas for the decoration of hotels, apartment buildings, theaters and other public places. WINTEE WINDOW BOXES. How many of those who do a good business with summer window boxes have made any sort of attempt to keep the boxes filled in winter? Some, but not nearly so many as should. The fact is the trade is missing many an easy dollar by not pushing the winter window boxes; they .are as easy to sell as summer boxes and at least as sure to give satisfaction — which means a repeat order next season. Winter window boxes, of course, ate 38 Hk {^(Mists' I^view Dkcembeh 10, 1914. filled with evergreens. The florist can not, usually, grow his evergreens, as he does his geraniums and vincas for summer box filling, but he can buy the evergreens so cheaply and satisfactorily that the profit reaBy comes easier. In fact, he can buy the boxes^«. afready filled and make his -profit jwstig?' mak* ing the sale.

This .is certainly a most eeo . tremely favorable for the forcing of azaleas and there should be no great trouble in flowering a good batch for th« holidays. Hei^ aad mdistaM are necessary to attain these results. Unless at least a few flowers are open, there is little likelihood of the plants selling. The highly colored varieties, like Mme. Petrick, Hexe, Simon Mardner, Win- ifred Haerens and Mme. August Haerens, are the best sellers. Next to these come Vervaeneana and the charm- ing little Haerens' Lorraine, with light pink flowers. The demand for such whites as Vervaeneana alba and Deutsche Perle is never robust. Often the plants throw out new growths ahead of the flowers. These should all be rubbed out. Plan to keep the plants a trifle cooler before shipping them from the greenhouses. This is not always possi- ble, but it is a decided advantage when it can be done. Protoction for Paiudes. When such plants as pansies, violas, myosotis, daisies, etc., are wintered in coldframes, they are easily protected. The ground should be allowed to freeze hard first. Then put a liberal coating of perfectly dry leaves over them and put on the sashes. Be sure thO'Sashes are tight, as wet leaves woidd soon start rot. An airing out on all mild days !■ necessary. Pansies outdoora must not DaCBUBBB 10, -1914.

The best covering, of course, is leaves, but these are not always procurable and do not stay in position in a wind-swept field as meadow hay or straw. Some light brush must be laid oyer the mulch to prevent the wind from carrying it away, although after we hare had a thaw and the ground has become hard frozen the mulch usually stays where we want it. Propagating Foliage Plants. The next two or three months, when we are using the maximum of fire heat, is the best time of the year in which to propagate crotons, dracsenas, paudanus, dieffenbachias, fittonias, ficus, acalyphas and other foliage plants. With a brisk, steady bottom heat and sufficient mois- ture in the sand, a small percentage only should fail to root. Of course, shade and a close atmosphere are also neces- sary for successful propagation. Planting Lilies. Some of the lilies, especially speci- osum and auratum, are jost coming to hand. For outdoor culture the planting should be done at once. If precautions were taken to mulch the ground to be plimted, there will be no trouble; other- wise it maj be necessary to break through a crust of frost. Set the bulbs ten to twelve inches deep. Loosen the soil below them well and lay some sharp sand above and below the bulbs. Do not allow any fresh manure to come in con- tact with them. ;Give a mulch of de- cayed leaves or jtrawy manure when the planting is completed. These lilies, especially the speciosums, will be found useful for indoor culture. They will naturally flower from July until October, and through most of this period choice flowers for cutting or design work are not overabundant. The speciosums and auratums do much better in 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch pots than in those of smaller size. After potting, stand the pots below a green- house bench where they will be free from drip, or keep half of them in a cold pit just clear of freezing, to pro- vide a successional batch for late bloom- ing. Lilium Oandidum. Lilium candidum is always acceptable at Easter, especially where the broad - petaled type is grown. In order to be sure of having them in bloom on time, place the plants in a cool house at once. This lily does not tolerate forcing like the longiflorums and should never have a higher minimum than 55 degrees. In more heat than this the flowers will come much smaller and will lack sub- stance. Spraying for Scale. December is an excellent month in which to do spraying for San Jose, oyster shell and other scales. These pests are now pretty generally dissem- inated over the country and spraying has become an absolute necessity. This spraying should be done on a warm, dry day, when there is as little wind as possible, and every portion of the trees and shrubs sprayed should be covered with the liquid. This spraying kills not only the scales but the eggs of aphides and other pests and can be classed as an excellent insurance. Either the lime- sulphur solution or one of the soluble oils, like Scaline or Scalecide, can be used. For those florists who may have to spray shrubs on a number of small places the soluble oils are far the best to use. It is best to spray all fruit trees and shrubbery, for even though no scale may be visible it is probably present. Be sure, espedaUy, to spray all roses, wil- lows, cratffigus, cornus, lilacs, eydoniaa, poplars, cercidiphyllums, j;)runni^ moinff 42 The Florists' Review DXCKMBBB 10, 1914. and pyrus, as these are the varieties most likely to be attacked. Protection for Hardy Roses. Where the climate is severe the best policy is to loosen down the ramblers, lay them on the ground and cover the wood with straw or leaves. Where hybrid teas are not naturally hardy the best plan is to dig them up carefully, and either heel them in a coldframe or open out a trench outdoors on well drained land and bury the plants, giving a mulch as the ground freezes hard. T'he stems can be closely tied together and a band of straw bound around them. Later pull the earth well up about the stems and give the ground a liberal mulch. With the hardier hybrid per- petuals, if the earth is well drawn up about the stems and a mulch of strawy manure is applied the plants should winter well. Of course, these precau- tions are not necessary in the warmer states, but without them in the colder states few plants would be left alive after a severe winter. WHITE FLY ON PELABOONIUMS.

I think it probable that white fly is the one you are troubled with, as it frequently attacks pelargoniums, primulas, calceolarias, cin- erarias, fuchsias, heliotropes, ageratums and other plants. The only practical remedy for white fly is fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas. Full directions as to amount, time of exposure, etc., have frequently been given in The Re- view. Great care is necessary with this fumigant, as it is the most deadly gas known, but it is now in quite general use and you will probably' persist in using it when once you have tried it. Spraying with soap solutions will kill matiy of the white flies, but gas will exterminate them. 0. W. CHRISTMAS PLANTS SOME OF THE MOST SALABLE VARIETIES, WITH TIMELY SUGGESTIONS QN TURNlkjaTHBM TO CASH- I HE REVIEW has consis- tently adopted an optimis- tic tone regarding the flo- rists' business since the great European war com- menced and the volume of Thanksgiving business trans- acted the country over was satisfactory and went to support the theory that, while many trades are suffering, that in plants and cut flowers has been less unfavorably affected than almost any other. It is surely most encouraging to read that many transacted more Thanksgiving business in 1914 than a year previous, and it gives us a feel- ing of hope if not complete confidence that Christmas trade in flowers will average up well with preceding years of greater prosperity. riowers have been too commonly classed as luxuries pure and simple. While they can be better dispensed with than the mere necessaries of life, they now fill so important a part in the home that they are coming to be classed more as necessities than as pure luxuries. The experience of the last few weeks justifies me, I think, in stating that the outlook for Christ- mas trade in florists 's staples, in spite of all pessimistic talk to the contrary, is good. One can scarcely expect any record-breaking volume of trade or any fancy prices, but both plants and cut flowers, especially the former, will be in strong demand and those who have large stocks of well grown plants need not have any fears that they can not dispose of them profitably. ifhe Christmas Colors. Christmas and Easter are the two great plant holidays and there is a steadily growing demand on each of these occasions. Of course a greater variety of plants are available at Easter, the call at Christmas being more particularly for plants with bright colored flowers, foliage or ber- ries. This is a point that beginners 'should bear in mind. While some whiter and pale colored plants will sell, the call is always far better for those more nearly approaching the Christmas col- ors, scarlet and pink being the great sellers. It is always a decided help to the grower and retailer handling large quantities of plants if he can be fa- vored with mild weather preceding Christmas. This makes delivery com- paratively easy, as little wrapping is necessary. Nothing is more uncertain, however, than climatic conditions and it is unwise to trust to chance, particu- larly when plants are to be sent by ex- press and are liable to be held over- night in some office. We have all seen zero conditions at the holidays and then, again, the temperature may be as balmy as May. I think the cooler weather, however, is better for business than the warm and unseasonable yireather. Be prepared with an ample supply of newspapers, tissue" and wrap- ping paper, and twine, and cover the pots just as heavily as the plants, for uo matter how well the tops are cov- ered, if the pots are exposed the plants are liable to suffer chills. Dirty pots, of course, are intolerable. A plant of moderate quality looks quite passable in a clean pot, but flne specimens in dirty receptacles are almost repellent. -^ \\\ *> fli^^^^Hj^L - ' ^ 116^s^.r./:T --^ r .:^ ^ ■.m^ ^^k V |K^ IHp-^ ^^^ '' i — — M jM|k it i J -4 '- '-'J ■'>, ' . - .

This issue contains a number of illus- trations of the popular style of plant combinations. While there is an ex- cellent sale for single plants in simple form, the pots concealed with inex- pensive covers, the effort of the florist should be toward better things; toward those items of the stock that give him the opportunity to make a charge for his artistic skill as shown in the ar- rangement. When a sale consists of a plant with nothing but a piece of crepe paper around the pot' there is no opportunity to charge for the florists' knowledge of his business. One's ex- perience in the trade can only be rep- resented in the price when artistic com- binations of plants are offered. It is not necessary that these plant combina- tions be large or expensive, like some of those shown in this issue. It is possible to make up artistic combina- tions in small baskets to sell at mod- erate prices and yet bring more money than the plants would ^b*- worth with- out the addition of '^fe baskets, rib- bons and artistic '>qua}|ties. j[".vi.^ ' . poinsJttias. Poinsettias, the- ever popular Christ- mas plants, require handling with great care. They ate grown in a high temperature and atfe often not sub- jected to any gradl»l"v«ooiing before being shipped away. The "charm of poinsettias consists not so much in the size of their brilliant bracts, as in plants well clothed with foliage. Any- one can grow plants scantily leaved, but good growers are necessary to pro- duce such as have beautiful, dark green leaves to the tops of the pots or pans. Careful watering, good judg- ment in feeding and an even tempera- ture are conditions making for ideal poinsettias. In order to keep the plants in good condition for even a few days in the store, some judgment is needed. See that they are kept neither soggy nor dry at the root and stand them where they will not be sub- jected to cold drafts. Poinsettias, to be salable, must have green leaves. In order to retain these, more care is needed than in the case of almost any other flowering plants. As these plants are quite tender, be sure to wrap heavily when delivering. Do not, even on mild days, stand the plants on the sidewalk for passers-by to in- spect. Azaleas, solanums, oranges and other plants may stand this, but never poinsettias. There need not be a complete loss on plants which have lost considerable foliage. Provided the stems are of fair length, the cut bracts will be salable. In order to make them keep fresh, however, the ends of the stems as soon as cut should be either seared on hot coal ashes or dipped for a short time in water as near the boiling point as possible. This stops bleeding and, if the stalks are wrapped separately in 44 The Florists^ Review umcuutauL 10. 1914^ soft paper and placed in vases of good depth, they will keep perfectly plump. AZAIJIA.S. The Christmas call has increased much of late years for the miniature azaleas, such as Hexe, Mme. Petrick, Lorraine and the new Haerens varie- ties. All these are well adapted for early forcing and a good number can be had for Christmas. Owing to the war, imports of these were not up to the average in qnaKty and, owing to increased freight charges, will not need to be grown so much as in former years, as present financial conditions will hardly warrant any advance in prices. Simon Mardner, double rose; Verveeneana, double pink and white; Vervseneana alba and Deutsche Perle, pure white, are all useful Christmas sorts which sell well. Azaleas will stand much more cold than poinsettias and their foliage holds better than that of many other plants when stood in comparatively dark places. Water carefully, remembering that these hard- wooded subjects have fine, hair-like roots and that one thorough drying out will not only ruin the flowers but also cause a heavy loss of foliage. BEGONIAS. More plants than ever of th.e beau- tiful C^cinnati begonia will be sold the coming Christmas. It nets both C rower and retailer a higher price than orraine and makes a decidedly better keeping house plant. We were told a year or two ago that it needed more careful culture than Lorraine, as the larger leaves were more subject to spot. This is in a measure true, but grow- ers have easily mastered these little sated for in knowing that it means additional warmth and insures delivery in first-class condition. For over twenty years the Lorraine begonia has been in commerce and, in spite of all pessimistic talk, it is still the most widely grown winter-flowering variety, taking the world over. Its ease of culture and wonderful florifer- ousness are great points in its favor. As a hanging plant it is unequaled. As a house plant it does not hold up so well, jiowever, as tbfti newer van«liies^ Cincinnati, Melior and Florence Dav- enport. It blooms a little earlier than Cincinnati and a good number are sold before the holidays. I have noticed the last few years that large numbers of late rooted cuttings flowered in 2- inch to 314 -inch pots are sold for use in small receptacles. Cuttings propa- gated in July and August have readily wholesaled at $2 to $3 per dozen and there is even more money in these than in the larger plants. This be- gonia is excellent for window boxes, and if it can have a light position in a room not overheated, it keeps quite well. Always impress upon purchasers the necessity of watering not only be- gonias but all house plants freely. In steam-heated rooms, which usually have but little ventilation, one drying-out will practically kill Lorraines. CYOI.AMENS. There are no flowering plants avail- able for the Christmas trade which give greater satisfaction than cycla- mens. They are grown cool and are, therefore, less susceptible to variations in temperature. Their leaves are tough, and the flowers possess good substance. There is a long succession k ■i^^iitAr. Where the Basket and Ribbon Double the Value of the Plant. troubles and few plants now offered for sale have any bacterial affections of the foliage. The larger leaves necessitate more careful wrapping to prevent injury. Flare the stakes out more widely than in the case of Lor- raine. If the weather is extremely eold, it is good policy to use a sheet of cotton-wool next to the plant. The will be compen- of flowers to follow those that are open, and, given at all favorable condi- tions, these plants will bloom freely for a number of weeks, even in a dwelling house. For window boxes, they are splendid. Plants of one color should, of course, be selected for this purpose. The red and salmon shades sell the best now; the light pink and white shacks move better \aiw:^ No unaasi- ness need be felt if the plants are not all sold at Christmas. Cyclamens will sell until Easter. Keep them in a cold house until wanted. Cyclamens withstand an arid atmos- phere and even dryness at the root better than almost any other flowering plant. They are more easily injured by having stagnant water below them. It is just as necessary to warn pur- chasers of the danger of overwatering as of the reverse. We have all, on numy eeeasions, seen jar^Unieres- and other receptacles half full, or more, of stagnant water, which emits a fetid odor through the room, and, of course, the owners wonder why the poor water- logged plants present so hopeless an appearance. A little water below plants is permissible, especially if the subjects are naturally thirsty ones, but any surplus will ruin plants more speedily than any other thing. PBiniULAS. As moderately-priced plants, primulas are useful at the holidays. Both ob- conica and Sinensis are excellent in birch-bark boxes for windows, and, as they can be profitably sold at a lower price than almost any other Christmas plant, they invariably meet with a ?:ood sale. P. obconica is a wonder- uUy persistent bloomer. I doubt whether any other flowering plant really surpasses -it, as it withstands couditions which would soon finish begonias and many other plants. An objection to it is that the foliage irritates and poisons many people. For this reason some retailers refuse to handle it at all. The scarlet and deep-pink Chinese primulas are good sellers. In packing them, remember that the leaves are brittle. They must not be rolled up as you would a spiraea, cyclamen or Boston fern. Use three or four short stakes and run twine around these to hold the leaves erect before using any paper at all. P. malacoides is, if anything, the most decorative of all primulas, being light and graceful. Some nice plants of it appeared last Christmas, but it is later in the season that it is to be seen in really good condition. It must be grown cool all the time. If given heat, the graceful spikes fiop over and the plant's beauty is entirely lost. Better reserve your malacoides for February and March sales. As growing plants, these make up into one of the most beautiful of centerpieces. OAMELLIA& A few camellias appeared in the stores before Thanksgiving, and a good number are now available. It is pleas- ing to note the return of these old-time favorites. They are not plants which can be sold cheaply, but for just that reason they appeal to a certain class of buyers. Camellias do well in a low temperature. The flowers are easily knocked off and bruised, and speeiaJ care should always be taken in packing them. Cotton-wool or tissue paper should protect each flower and expand- ing bud. ... * EBIOAS.

If one gets dry, do not pour a little water on the surface and imagine that you are soaking it. Submerge the pots in a tub or pail of water until the cessation of bubbles indicates that they are thoroughly moistened. E. melan- thera is the great Christmas variety. Some E. Mediterranea, pink, and other varieties are available also in small quantities. willows and the culture is of the easi- est. They need an abundant water supply at all times and heavy feeding. BUDDLEIA ASIATIOA. Buddleia Asiatica, the winter lilac, as it is commonly called, is something of a novelty. The pure white flowers are in fine condition for Christmas and have a most delightful perfume. Cut- tings rooted in April are now in 6-inch pots and in full flower. By carrying over plants, large specimens may be had. This is a plant worthy the atten- tion of florists. The cuttings root like MISCELLANEOUS PLANTS. Scarlet geraniums, double varieties especially, if nicely flowered, are good Christmas plants. Keep them in a light position and not too warm. Bun the soil a little on the dry side to keep the foliage green. Scarlet and pink bouvardias are not much seen now- adays. Nice plants in 6-inch pots are attractive and something of a novelty. Heliotropes are not of a Christmas color, but their delicious fragrance sells them. Nice, bushy plants in 6-inch pots should be in demand. Standard helio- tropes are something of a novelty and, wiUi nicely flowered heads, make a desirable Christmas plant. Be sure to wrap these heavily. They are easily chilled, and those purchasing them should be advised to give them a warm room. It is somewhat early in the season for bulbous plants, but Boman hya- cinths and Paper White narcissi are available. The first-named are the more desirable, the heavy odor of the narcissi being objectionable to many. A pretty pan can be made of Eomans and small ferns. The ferns grow and make a shapely centerpiece when the bulbs have passed. Liljr of the valley in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, if well foliaged, will attract some buyers. Keep the plants warm, as they have been forced hard. Any chill will speedily cause the plants to wilt. A few tulips and trumpet narcissi are usually available, but these are not ordinarily of sufficient quantity or merit to deserve much notice. For an inerpensive plant, the dwarf stevia is quite desirable. It is com- mon, of course, but is light and grace- M The Florists' Review Dkckmber 10, 1914. ful. Euphorbia jacquiniseflora, of the same family as the poinsettia, is a brijpfht and Christmas-looking plant. It IS 'seen annually in some of the big markets. Several cuttings are grown to single stems in 6-inch and 8-inch pans, making charming plants. Th« flowers have splendid lasting qualities. There is room for thousands more of these each Christmas. OLEA FBAGBANS. Olea fragrans, the sweet olive, is a tender shrub, bearing tiny white flowers at this season, which have a most delightful perfume. The blooms are so small as to be hardly noticeable, but anyone fond of plants will buy it ou sight once they have tried the odor. One or two flowers will scent a good- sized room. Speaking of scented plants, gardenias appeal to critical buyers, as they are not at all common. The plants carry beautiful, dark green foliage, which shows oflf the pure white flowers to perfection. Use great care when packing these, as the least rough handling will bruise the petals. BEBBIED PLANTS. Christmas is the only season, when berried plants meet with any sale. Some buyers prefer them to flowering plants, and certainly their keeping qualities are better. Ardisia crenulata is a beautiful berried plant, with wonderful lasting qualities. It is a slow grower and cannot be retailed cheaply, how- ever. For those looking for berried plants of more moderate price, the solanums, or Jerusalem cherries, are splendid. S. Melvinii and the large- fruited, Montreal variety are the best, great improvements on the ordinary type. Give these solanums an abun- dance of water and keep them quite cool. They are splendid for arranging in window boxes, as are also ardisias. Christmas peppers are popular with some. They, however, lack the keeping qualities of the Jerusalem cherries. Otaheite oranges are hardly berried plants, out should have mention here. Well fruited plants command a high price, usually 25 cents per fruit at wholesale. For stands or jardinieres, these oranges are attractive. They withstand heat well and also succeed where it is quite cool. The list of berried subjects can be considerably extended. Usually a good many hol- lies, skimmias, aucubas and similar plants are imported, but conditions in Belgium may materially reduce the numbers of these the present season. Nevertheless, we shall have no dearth of either flowering or berried plants for the festive season. THE THBEE CHADWICKS. ' ' The Three Chadwicks ' ' is the name given the trio of young florists who ap- pear in the accompanying illustration, by their employer, John Gunther, of the firm of Gunther Bros., New York. In their spare time these young men have developed the musical talents with which they have been gifted, and now are appearing before the public in club and society entertainments, where they achieve quite creditable success. Within business hours and off stage they are known by the names of Axel Zinovog, Charles Ferdeman and Nathaniel Bern- stein. V A^" SMALL MUMS FOB MABKET. Please give me the names of four colors each of early anemone-flowered and pompon chrysanthemums. I wish to use them for sprays for bunching for the wholesale market. The anemones should have not less than two rows of petals. I should like the popular vari- eties that sell well. The height should be under four feet. I have the lists of Elmer D. Smith & Co., Chas. H. Totty and A. N. Pierson, Inc., but find it diffi- cult to select from them, not having seen the varieties growing. W. M. Anemone-flowered: Garza, white, which perhaps has fewer petals than you wish, but is easily the finest anemone today, and no other variety sells like it; Betsy Presby, a yellow Garza; Eleanor, delicate pink; Mrs. Shimmins, apricot shaded red. If you want a large white, try Marcia Jones. Pompons: Queen of the Whites, pure white; Julie Lagravere, crimson maroon; Mrs. Frank Beu, orange and bronze, good for Thanksgiving; Klondike and Savannah, fine yellows. Baby and Baby Margaret, yellow and white, have small fiowers; they sell well in the markets. C. W. TAFT MUMS WITH WEAK NECKS. In the early part of June I planted a bench of President Taft chrysanthe- mums. The soil was two-thirds sod loam and one-third rotted cow manure. The ventilators were left open day and night, +he plants were sprayed and cul- tivated throughout the season and the soil was never allowed to become too wet or too dry. They are now com- ■%. mencing to bloom, with large, handsoiiiie flowers, but the necks are, too weak to support the heavy blooms. This is the first year I have tried President Taft and I should like to know whether this is one of the bad characteristics of this variety or whether it is due to improper culture. The plants were not fed with any chemicals or liquid ma- nures. L. S. J. Chrysanthemum President Taft is not so strong in growth as some of the others and it is not unusual for the plants to be a little weak in the neck. This trouble shows much more on some soils than on others and is sometimes due to the lack of lime in the soil. Since L. S. J. states that the plants were not fed with any chemicals, this may indicate that they were not par- ticularly strong and perhaps they would have been better if they had received a little extra nourishment. It does not pay to grow plants too closely; possibly some of the trouble was due to this. Chas. H. Totty. COMPANIONS FOB ENGUEHABD. Will you please give me the names of a yellow and a white chrysanthemum which are the nearest in shape, style, size and time of blooming to Engue- hardt W. E. P. Wholesale Florist's VaudeviHians. I do not know of either a yellow or a white that is the exact counterpart of Enguehard. I should call Bonnaffon the best commercial yellow that flowers with it. Of course, Bonnaffon is a solid incurved, but there is no other yellow even approaching it in popularity. Take the bud about September 15. In whites we have White Bonnaffon, with a less compact flower than Bonnaffon, but the foliage is usually pale colored. The variety Mistletoe, sent out by Dorner, should prove a splendid white com- panion to Enguehard. The terminal DBCKMBBR 10, 1914.

It is in good season for Thanksgiving and will keep until Christmas. C. W. TURNER AS A POT PLANT. Nothing at present in sight compares with William Turner as an exhibition chrysanthemum; for size of bloom it is at present without an equal, and it is an easy doer, so that success with it is general. The big, pure white, perfectly formed blooms were the feature of many an autumn flower show. Now comes Paul Ryee, of the Bay house Floral Co., Boise, Idaho, with an illustration of Turner as a pot plant. The plant was grown in an 8-ineh pot and carried seven blooms on disbudded growths.

One of the "live wires" of the trade in Schenectady, N. Y., as proved by his record in that city, is G. E. Kopper,. proprietor of the Bosendale Greenhouses & Nurseries. It is only three years since he started in business in Schenec- tady, yet in that time he has built up a good trade, added a large greenhouse and bought a store this year, and is now looking forward to opening another store next spring. This move is contem- plated because of the good results which, followed the purchase of the store of J. H. Frederick, at 126 Jay street, last spring. Since the date of its acquisi- tion, May 1, the concern's sales have doubled. The new greenhouse, 40x166 feet, which was erected by the Lord & Burn- ham Co. last spring, is shown in the accompanying illustration. Half is de- voted to pot plants, and the other half, which is shown here, has been occupied by mums. On the bench to the left is- Charles Eazer, which, Mr. Kopper says, has been his best white this season. About 8,000 chrysanthemums were planted this fall. For the other crops,, there are potted up about 80,000 bulbs,. 2,500 lilies and 15,000 geraniums, in addition to which are grown sweet peas,, snapdragons, smilax, swainsonas, Boston, ferns, cyclamens, begonias and primulas. The varieties you name are all natu- rally late and should carry until Thanks- giving, provided you fan your house cool, keep it shaded and air freely, I would suggest the following as good late varieties; buds for securing late flowers should be taken on or about the date named: Mile.

He referred, of course, MIIiDEW ON OUTDOOR BOSES. We have a quantity of field-grown rambler roses and they are infected with mildew. Would it be safe to sell these plants in the spring and could it be done without danger to our reputa- tion f We should not like to send these plants out to our customers if we thought they would infect their gardens. Will the mildew disappear through the wiaterf We planted some Crimson Ramblers last spring in a part of our nurseries in which there never had been any mildew and now all the other varie- ties seem to have it. Is it possible that the mildew spread from these ramblers to the other plants, or is it due to weather conditions! Will the mildew fungi live on dormant plants through the winter and reappear in the spring t F. B. Mildew on outdoor roses is due to climatic conditions. It spreads rapidly, but can be controlled in some measure by spraying the affected plants with some good fungicide. You need not be afraid of selling the plants which have had mildew on their leaves. Such plants might be entirely free from the disease the following season. It all depends, however, on their treatment. Crimson Rambler is notoriously susceptible to mildew. For this and other reasons it has been dropped to a large extent in favor of varieties that carry better foliage. C. W. POOR QROWTH OF YOUNO STOCK. I am enclosing two rose plants of the variety Irish Fireflame. They were planted last July, but have not - done anything. The conditions bave been favorable for good growth. You will note that the foliage is badly burned. I have been in charge of the growing since to Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine, no longer a novelty but, Mr. Eober thinks, not yet tried by a large majority of the trade. "You can root it any time and it makes cuttings freely; blooms all the year around, in 2-inch pots and up; good for bedding, as a house plant or for basket work; bright pink flowers; good keeper; it will displace Erfordii when the trade gets to know its bread and butter qualities," continued Mr. Rober, whose business at Wilmette, III., and his many years in the trade fit him to know the needs of all kinds and conditions of florists. by its use. If it were nitrate, it would have been dissolved by thistime. tH. B. M. From the appearance of the plants when received, they had bein originally potted in extremely light, s«ndy soil, and when planted they may havf been dry at the root. When the plantV have been watered after planting them in the bench, this sandy soil has always shed the water. As a consequence the plants have been unable to make. any root SrC- tion and have never staled to grow. This also caused the folia^ to burn, as there was not enough sap i^the leaves to withstand the rays of the sun through the glass.

There is also every indication that this will be a banner Christmas, despite the war in Euroi^e. Stock remains well cleaned up. Mums are on their last legs and the demand for them has about ceased. Some fine snapdragons and peas are now avail- able, but only in small quantities. Various Notes. Many of the retailers are already dis- playing Christmas baskets and novel- ties in the windows — and reaping the benefit. B.

Manda, Inc., appealed to the Circuit court at New- ark. The jury, which, according to custom, was not informed of the amount of the original award, named the prop- er sum $17,000 in its verdict. Attor- neys for W. A. Manda, Inc., say the case will be carried to a higher court. The land was a strip about 1,000 feet long, varying in width from twenty to sixty-seven feet and comprising a little less than an acre. The railroad ex- pressed its willingness to pay the com- mission's award, but W. A. Manda, Inc., did not think it a sufficient price for the land, the shutting off of sun- light from some of the greenhouses by the railroad embankment, and the harm done to plants by smoke and gases from passing locomotives. 56 The Florists' Review Dkcbubeb 10, 1914.

RULE FOR BEGINNERS. In picking out a town in which to start a flower business, remember tluit if you clioose a town that has only one industry, be it agriculture, wiitches, shoes, or automobiles, your flower busi- ness will have all the ups and downs of the town's one industry. Find a town that has agriculture an, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-two \ isits of the paper. .Xniong those who hav(> this week en- idlled thenisehes for more than one year in advance ;ire: TWO YEARS. r.rowii. l'( tor, I.niicastor, I'a. \;ittci-, (;,(!., Miiriiiotte, Wis.

THE PRICE CUTTER. The price cutter, like the poor, will always be with us. And the price cut- ter always will get business. But the price cutter ne\'t r will be a menace to the florist who offers quality — the price cutter only is dangerous to llii^ man who offers no better stock. Nobody ever knew quality stock to be sold at cut prices. It happens occasion- :illy, but not regularly. When one man regularly prices his stock below the other fellow it is a fairly safe bet there is about the same cents per pound at Chicago, according to quantity bought. There is a large quantity of early picked green that can not be used without (lyeing. One of the largest South Water street houses in Chicago, credited with usually winding about 200,000 yards of light wreathing for the provision trade, is reported as this season cutting the (piantity in half. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Buffalo, N. Y.— Leopold A. Fibers, who not long ago sold the store at 2692 Main street to Charles Sandi- ford, has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the Federal court. He owes $2,799.79 and has assets valued at $507. Birmingham, Ala. — .\ voluntary peti- tion in bankruptcy was filed in the Federal court Tuesday, December 1, by the McVay Seed Co., 2018 First avenue. The liabilities of the concern are scheduled at $16,290.49 and the assets at $19,668.09. Dr. R. V. Mobley was ap- pointed by Referee-in-bankruptcy E. M. Dryer as the receiver, to opei'ate the business as a going concern. CHICAGO. The Market. Business has been irregular during the last few days. There would be an occasional spurt, but on the whole sales have not been coming up to last year's record. It must not be forgotten, how- ever, that comparisons made with last season make an especially unsatisfac- tory showing for the reai^on that last year was an unusually good one, hardly to 1)0 equaled except with extremely fa\orable conditions. There has been considerable reduc- tion in the supply of stock since last report. The weather has been almost uninterruptedly dark and gloomy ever since Thanksgiving. It has not been cobl, but the lack of sunshine is appar- ent in the quantity and. quality of stock arriving. (chrysanthemums now are practically out of the market, which in itself makes a big reduction in the ()iianlity of flowers handled. Also, carnations are much less abun- dant than they were. Roses are suflii- ciently plentiful for the demand, but the supply neverthtdess is light. Violets are more plentiful, but the*' are poor Dkcbubbb 10, 1914.

C. Kohlbrand, father-in-law of the proprietor. C. L. Washburn, who has been study- ing the carnation situation for several seasons, notes that red is coming to be more in demand each year. Most grow- ers have come to believe red does not pay so well as other colors and have gradually cut down their plantings of red varieties, which may account for the increased calls Mr, Washburn notes. Quite a bit of excitement was caused on the market December 8, when a 90- foot metal smokestack fell from a der- rick on top of the new building at Lake street and Wabash avenue, crash- ing into the alley in the rear of the Atlas block. The alley, usually filled with wagons and trucks, was clear ai the time and uo one was hurt. The crash was heard for blocks and busi- ness ceased for a time while everyone viewed the wreck. Into winter quarters again, the three salesmen of L. Baumann & Co. report a prosperous year. F. J. Monahan has gone to his home for the holidays, but G. Reising and L. Biederman, who live in Chicago, are busy meeting customers, who come in tg do their buying. F. H. Gelderman, 4ne manager, is kept on the jump dt this time of year. Charles Abbott, of Crown Point, who was ill a large part of the summer, happily has recovered and there are indications that his roses, somewhat neglected during his illness, soon will do likewise. George Mohn began work Decembor 62 The Florists^ Review Dkckmbsr 10, 1914. 7 as a salesman for the Fleischman Floral Co. After spending two years at Denver and a few weeks at Miller's, at Mc- Henry, 111., Hans Yepson is back in town. Aloys Frey, at Crown Point, has a white anemone-flowered mum of his own raising that is about the latest of the type to come to market. He ex- pects to cut until New Year's. D. T. Matchen was in from Indiana Harbor one day last week, buying Christmas supplies. He says all busi- ness has been slow there, because of short time at the steel mills, but that it is picking up again. Norby & Hoefle are cutting their annual late crtip of Helen Frick chrys- anthemums, with a few White Bonnaf- fon. They have made a reputation for Frick and some of the flowers are fine this year, but on the whole the crop is not so good as usual, the weather hav- ing been too warm. Frank Wilmer recently sold out his interest in "Wilmer & Homeyer, Mt.. Prospect, 111., and the firm now is Ho- meyer & Haberkamp. Mums and car- nations are grown, sold in this market by Kennicott Bros. Co. The Warren Park Floral Co., incor- porated in May, now is ready for busi- ness, the active manager being William Scott, for several years a grower for Bassett & Washburn. At 1401 South Sixtieth avenue three 250-foot house" have been built, on a 5-acre tract, and stocked with bedding plants and bulbs. The plan is to do both wholesale and retail business. A. F. Longren has returned from a business trip in the northwest and says the trade is preparing with confidence for a banner Christmas business. Erne & Klingel find themselves with so much business that additional floor space rapidly is becoming a necessity. Fred Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros., ex- presses a great liking for Russell. Mr. Hoerber says he is anxious to see what effect the next season's cut of Russell will have on Beauty prices, as so many people are planning to grow them. Ernest Szontagh, 1736 West Forty- seventh street, was kept busy all last week with funeral work. Mr. Szontagh had an order for a large design which was presented to Municipal Court Judge John Stelk on his inauguration. August Poehlmann says Christmas plants are moving well, especially cy- clamen and Dracaena terminalis. J. Byers, who returned recently from Galesburg and was formerly with the Chicagfr^arnation Co., is now in the Jackson boulevard store of George M. Perdikas, Dominick Freres' brother-in-law, Henry J. Phillips, and his wife are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Freres. They are from Hinckley, Minn. C. W. McKellar predicts that Christ- mas will be a repetition of Thanks- giving, an excellent business made up largely of late orders. After five years at 6972 North Clark street, John Didier is preparing to move next week to No. 6973, directly across the street, where much better facilities will be available. Miss Didier has been in charge of the store from its opening day. A. L. Vaughan says the first five days of December made a new record with him, sales for the five consecutive days topping the banner year of 1913. O.

Williams, of Olneyville, Provi- dence, R. I., was a visitor at the exhibit of the Kroeschell Bros. Co., at the Boston convention, and evidently made up his mind as to the make of his next boiler, for when firing time came and he discovered that he needed a boiler, he made a flying trip to the Kroeschell factory, in Chicago, select- ing a No. 11 to heat his 22,500 square feet of glass. Two hours after the purchase the boiler had started on its journey east. Other visitors: A. J. Stahelin, of the Schroeter-Stahelin Co., Detroit; A. L.

Business conditions seem to have im- proved to some extent, although not so much as we would like to see at this time of year. Since Thanksgiving, there has been a steady improvement, and business has been a little healthier, but it is not up to normal by any means. It is coming along, however, and the outlook is excellent for Christ- mas trade. Prices will probably not be quite so high as in previous years, but there will probably be a large quantity of stock to be disposed of. Some fine holly is on the market and is being sold quite reasonably. Christ- mas wreathing, ruscus and supplies of like nature are already moving well, and it is gratifying to see the retailers a little more optimistic and willing to buy. This is always a good sign, be- cause their spirit is generally an indi- cation of the public's buying propen- sities. The supply of roses is limited and it is hard to take care of large orders, but the color is good and little trouble is experienced in disposing of the crop. The supply of carnations is just about equal to the demand at this time. They are improving in quality every day and the prospects for Christmas are bright, as an extremely large crop is antici- pated. Violets are not nearly so plentiful as they should be, and, consequently, the entire cut is disposed of readily at medium prices. There are no lilies in the market now, and it is not expected that they will make their appearance for Christmas. Valley was unusually plentiful last week, but as the stock was exceptionally fine, the cut moved well at good prices. Various Notes. At the banquet for the ladies during the pea canners' convention last week, the tables were decorated with clusters of violets, and the appearance was quite beautiful. At the conclusion of the dinner, these clusters were found to be made up of bunches of fifty flowers, done in the form of a corsage, and each lady was the recipient of one of these charming favors. The idea was unusual and the originator is to be congratulated on its successful execution. • • NECESSARY • • CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES Choice Holly, $4.00 per case.

December 3 the spring flower show committee met at the home of W. (\ Smith and prepared plans, which will be submitted to the members of the Florists^ Club for approval. All mem- bers of the committee were present. The floral display at the Missouri Botanical Garden this month- will be blooming plants of Christmas colors. Poinsettias and Lorraine begonias will be the most prominent plants shown. The arrangement of these by Max Schiller is perfect. The Countj Growers' Association held an interesting monthly meeting December 2, and discussed the growing of chrysanthemums and the prospects for stock for the coming holidays. The meeting was well attended. William Sanders is now the buyer in the wholesale district for the Grand avenue store of the Mullanphy Flower Co.

The month of December has started wonderfully well and business is get- ting where it ought to be. However, it still lacks something of the snap which it ought to have at this season. The weather has been unseasonably mild, but dances, receptions and other social functions are becoming more popular. As Christmas approaches, the stores are being transformed into masses of red and green decorations. The florists are all planning and pre- paring for the extra rush, every avail- able minute being used in the making of baskets filled with artificial goods, boxwood wreaths and balls. It is the general feeling that business vvill be pretty good, notwithstanding the bad conditions caused by the war, and most etores^have laid in an extra quantity of supplies. Large shipments of all kinds of stock are arriving daily. Trade has been good in the last few days and large calls have been made for most kinds of flowers. Roses are fine, with good, long stems and good foliage, and are making a little better prices. Mrs. Shawyer, Sunburst ai^ Ward are still the leaders. Beauties ai"e good, but the demand is not great. Easter lilies are in fine condition and are meeting with an increased demand. Valley is also fine, but the supply is often greater than the demand. Carnations are ar- riving in larger shipments and are -sell- ing freely. Orchids are unusually good and sell well. The supply of sweet peas is not large. Large, fancy pink snapdragons are in the market and move well. Stevias, Paper Whites, Romans and forget-me-nots are among the finer flowers. Chrysanthemums are plentiful in all colors and the prices are lower. Cut poinsettias are also plentiful, but do not sell rapidly. Vio- lets are moving better and are of the finest quality. The supply of greens meets all requirements. r- Various Notes. Among the visitors last week were Thomas Cogger, of N. F. McCarthy & Co., Boston; T. Collie, of Burnett Bros., New York, and J.

" The substance of an interview with George S. Hampton behind the gold- lettered green shades at Joseph G. Neidinger's store: "It seems to me that our florists do not make the use they should of their show windows. Now there is James Brown, who is out on a main thorough- fare in this city: He puts plants in his window and little else. There are no prices on them, nothing to attract transient trade. The shoe store nearby has prices on its shoes; something to tell people just what they can get and what it will cost. I asked Mr. Brown why he did not put up some made-up baskets in his window. He said: 'Baskets don't sell here; I have a lot left.* I asked him where they were. He found a half dozen hidden away somewhere. I told him that neither he nor anybody else could sell baskets that way. Too many florists decorate their windows as though for a home week. They are beautiful to look at. R«rlew when yon write.

Then the win- dow would sell something, and keep on selling as they change and vary the of- fers from time to time. Then take the waste of a blank wall for a customer to gaze upon while an order of flowers is being put up; think of the opportunity lost. The blank wall should have some pretty things, priced, on display, that might create a want then or later. Look at this little basket of rambler roses.

Ferns have their place at Christmas; a few foliage plants in green and more in green and white are wanted, but foliage plants of bright hue, and, foremost of all, foliage plants with red blotches or streaked or striped, are in the van.

A great house of begonias literally covered with pink buds and bloom is a glorious treat to see. Half or thereabouts are Cincin- nati, the other half Lorraine, the Lons- dale type most prominent. Eobert Craig considers this form of Lorraine the finest begonia today. He has grown them to perfection. The specimen plants, pedestal-grown, are beautiful in size and form and color. Cyclamens are better this year than ever before. His plants are marvelously perfect. The improvement lies in the number of flowers borne by each plant, and in thdir fine, clear color.

The uiisoasonably warm weather of laat week opened a considerable extra quantity of stock and, coupled with an off demand, the market was on the verge of a small sized glut. Roses and carnations were the slowest mov- ers; the latter could be bought for the proverbial song, but not many sold. The chrysanthemum supply is shortening a great deal, but there are enough for all demands..* The annual German of the Bachelors' Cotillion Cluo, held De- cember 7, caused a good demand for Beauties, orchids, gardenias, pink roses and violets, but there was plenty of stock, other than first gratle pink rose.-'.

James Morgan has taken over the store formerly owned by Mrs. Christian, at 2630 East Baltimore street. E. W. Pierce is optimistic regarding business prospects and says this season will be better than any we have had for some time. Matthew Kichmond will shortly begin tearing down the greenhouses which front on Erdman avenue, which will greatly improve the property. To re- place the bench space he will erect two houses 35x150 alongside those of the same size erected about two years ago some distance back from the street, giving him quite a good-sized range of glass of modern and up-to-date con- struction. The first Monday German always creates quite a stir in local retail circles and many call it the opening of the social season here. The demand for flowers this year was a little less than formerly, although John Cook, Mrs. Mary Johnston and Samuel Feast & Sons say they were exceptionally busy. A comparison of the volume of busi- ness done by the local commission houses for the month of November, 1913 and 1914, brought out the fae-t that the money was about even, but the quantity of stock handled this year was far ahead, showing good business but rather a decline in the standard of prices, the cause of which can best Fancy My ^.w c»e.

Since then a decided, all-around slump has taken place, and conditions are decid- edly bad. We had hoped that the worst was over, but now there seems to be no 'Backbone to the market at all. Various causes are assigned for the unsatisfactory state of things, such as tfie open weather, abundance of chrysanthemums and reaction after the little Thanksgiving boom, but none of these causes is the real one. Chrysanthemums continue in heavy supply and are selling unprofitably. Many growers say they will have a good cut for Christmas; some, even later. Fine Bonnaffons, which should sell at $2 per dozen, make 75 cents to $1 with difficulty. Some nice Nonin, Jerome Jones and Chadwick are seen, and an abundance of pompons. Carnations were surely never sold at such absurdly low December prices be- fore; $1 per hundred for many, $2 for fine flowers and $3 for the most se- lect. The quality is splendid, but the demand is weak. Eoses are selling just as poorly as carnations, and, with the exception of Ophelia, Eussell, Hadley, Ward and Stanley, which clean up quite well, all varieties are decidedly druggy. Violets are lower, and, were the singles not blooming poorly, would be in an even worse condition. Sweet peas are quite good; so is valley, but sales are low. Abuidintly prepared il ail times.

Among miscellaneous flowers, pansies are good. English primroses and wallflowers are arriving in small lots. Asparagus is weak. Pot plant trade shows more activity, and some of the large growers are already pretty well sold out. Various Notes. Eobert Montgomery, of Natick, is one of the best rose growers for the Boston market. This season Killarney Brilliant is doing well with him; so are Hadley, Richmond, Killarney, White Killarney, Eussell, Ward and Sunburst. Mr. Montgomery will grow one house of carnations next season in- stead of chrysanthemums. I am sorry to report William H. El- liott on the sick list. Mr. Elliott was operated on at the Charlesgate hos- pital a few days ago for hernia and is still there, but convalescing nicely. His many friends in the trade hope soon to see him around again. John W. Foote had some grand Bou- vardia Humboldtii with 36-inch stems December 5. Mr. Foote has a form with more rounded foliage and larger flowers than the old Humboldtii.

N. C. BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. Business was somewhat quiet last week, perhaps because of the disagree able, rainy weather which prevailed throughout the week. There was, how- ever, considerable funeral work. Car- nations are abundant and cheap, but their quality is unsatisfactory, as they become soft and sleepy soon after being cut. The warm weather is the cause of this condition. Really good carna- tions are scarce. Chrysanthemums con- tinue to arrive, but are soft and show brown petals in a short time. The Batons, Maud Dean, Golden Wedding and Jones are the best varieties just now. A few pompons are still coming to the market. It is the wish of every florist that the mums will soon be over, as their quality is so poor. Roses are overabundant and sell at low figures. Paper Whites are arriving in big lots; so are stevias, sweet peas, lily of the valley, mignonette, etc. American Beauties, which have been small for the last two weeks, are much improved Seattle, Wash, si^m at^ GROWER, WHOLESALER AND RETAILER Careful and prompt attention given tt orders.

The Hengerer department store deco- ration and the J. N. Adams Christmas decoration were done by A. J. Reichert. The store formerly conducted by Eachel M. Rebstock, at 614 Main street, was purchased by S. A. Ander- son November 30, It was restocked with plants, palms and ferns and the business now is run on a new basis. The trade wishes Mr. Anderson success in his new venture. The great fascina- tion of flowers and her love for the work has induced Mrs. Johnson, for- merly Eachel Rebstock, to return to the old stand, where she is now in charge for Mr. Anderson. L. H. Neubeck has a stock of choice cyclamens which are certainly wonder- ful. They are grown in his greenhouses at Williamsville. His skimmias, full of bright red berries and potted in jars with holly ferns, are exceedingly attractive; so are his begonias and boxes of Easter lilies. J. G. Pickelman finds trade good. He has had considerable funeral work recently. H. S. Baker and wife, who are grow- ers at Warsaw, N. Y., were in^town last week. They are looking for a good late yellow mum to grow next year, one that will surpass Golden Wedding and others. W. J. Palmer & Son have two good- sized weddings booked for early dates. a scHRoer£j» *•* 56 Broadway '^ DETROIT MICHIGAN John Breitmeyer's Sons Cimr Bnadwty ud Gratitt Atc DETROIT, Mica Member FlorlBts' Telemph Delivery Aaa'n.^ Arcade Floral Shop F.

FURROW I COMPANY OKLAHOMA CITY GUTHRIE OKLAHOMA Bfembers F]ori*t«' Telfirraph Delivery The orders call for large bride's bou- quets. They are handling a fancy line of orchids. Jerry Brookins, of Orchard Park, is producing some extra fine orchid peas, which are finding a ready sale here. Visitors: Milton Selinka, of Lion & Co., New York; William Craig, Phila- delphia. There is a great tendency among our leading florists to undersell the bridal bunches and shower bouquets to pros- pective grooms, etc. A first-class bridal shower ought to bring $15 to $20, and those containing orchids, $25 to $35. One can sell a bride's bouquet for $20 as easily as for $5, but a great many clerks make the big mistake of saying that their firm can make a bride's bouquet for $5 and up, and at once th'e prospective buyer is attracted by the low price and buys the cheapest possible arrangement. Let us put a high value on wedding flowers. It is easy to come down in prices, but not quite so easy to go up. Blue marguerites, Scotch heather, calendulas and lavender cosmos are some of the specialties which Stroh's Flower Shop is showing this week. They also have the first Vander Cruys- sen azaleas in bloom this season. The downtown stores have begun to display their Christmas stock and to advertise their Christmas specialties, thus making an early beginning for holiday trade.

The fortnight has been a good one from every point of view. Trade has been all that could have been expected, and everyone feels that there is every reason to look for a general revival of business. In fact, prosperity is in the air, and everywhere we find busi- ness boosters. If agitation will bring business, it must arrive soon. There were 1,500 plates laid at a prosperity banquet here last week, and our florists received their, share in advance in tho way of providing the elabora4;e deco- rations. Thanksgiving, with its annual foot- ball game, brought such a rush of busi- ness that things were cleaned up closely all over the city. Chrysanthemums have been especially plentiful, but they will be so no longer. All good stock is cleaned up. The consensus of opin- ion is that business was as good this Thanksgiving as it was a year ago. This is encouraging, as trade had not been normal for several months. Three days' rain has cleared away and we are having warm, clear weather. This should mean good bulb business. The late bulb business has not been so good as had been expected, and there is a surplus in the hands of some of ST. LOUIS, MO. WIr or Phone Your Orders to the HOUSE OF FLOWERS Ostertag Bros.

Now that they have had time to count up their Thanksgiving business, they find it rather better than last season. Mclntyre Bros, have a good supply of both pot and cut mums yet. They report that they will have all that they can sell for some time yet. The city parks have been thoroughly overhauled during the last few weeks, trees doctored, new planting done and bedding stock dug and stored. I under- stand that there will be considerable new planting done next year. This city is coming to be noted for its beautiful parks. Haury & Sons continue to do a good business with their wagon.

Report of the bankruptcy of the Mc- Vay Sfeed Co., of Birmingham, Ala., will be found in this week's issue under the head of Business Embarrassments. The man who is after the southern trade is crowding the printers these days, for the catalogues for the cotton states must be in the mails within a fortnight or 80. It is said 5,000,000 gladiolus bulbs were lost in the fire that destroyed the storage house of B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass., reported in The Review of November 26. Sutton & Sons, Reading, ;, England, have equipped a rifle range on their trial grounds and 212 of their employees are practicing marksmanship. Seventy others already have joined the colors. The war in Europe is helping rather than hurting the seed business of the Rocky Ford, Colo., concerns. Five tons of cucumber seed were shipped to Hol- land in one week recently, and orders are steady. Seed growers in the south of France appear to be not at all alarmed over the question of labor for the 1915 crops, but fear that a surplus of 1914 crops will discourage the cultivation of the usual acreage next year. It appears there has been a trend to- ward catalogue economy this season. Mailing lists have been checked up and pruned and in many cases the size of the books as well as the size of the editions is being cut down. It is the elimination of waste, nothing more. The big seed houses have carried a two years' supply of such seeds as do not de- teriorate, for several reasons, and were leas alarmed regarding 1915 than about 1916 supplies when the European war broke out. It now appears that the "no trading with the enemy" regulations of the several seed producing nations will make it possible for American houses to procure of the 1914 crops all the seeds that will be required for 1916. The arrival of the trade's standard catalogues is awaited with more than usual interest this year, because of the many new factors in the situation. Some houses that have issued books just over eight ounces in weight are cutting down to get inside the flat rate limit, while others, not feeling able to reduce, are taking advantage of the right to mail sixteen ounces as cheaply as ten or twelve. Also the contents of the books will be of unusual interest, because of the influence of the parcel post, the European war, the bad bean crop, the recent business depression and other factors.

The members of the trade in England have done vastly more grumbling than have Americans about the Dutch bulb situation, perhaps with cause. England, it appears, has been flooded with bulbs placed on the market through other than the ordinary trade channels. An American firm in South America having connections with city and country merchants solicits correspondence with seed houses desiring representation in that country. Correspondence in Eng- lish or Spanish may be had through the Department of Commerce, Washington, D, C. Charles J. Boloiano, of J. Bolgiano & Son, who has been confined at the Union Protestant Infirmary, Baltimore, since November 8, following an operation for appendicitis, has improved to such an extent that he has gone to his home in Roland Park and erpects to be at business within the next week or so.

Cases. 39 66 10 10 1 Total 125 Previously reported 33,740 , Total to date 33.865 VALLEY CONSIGNMENTS LARGE. There were few consignments of val- ley on the steamer Frederik VIII, which reached New York from Copen- hagen December 3, but each one of them was large, and so the number of cases totaled over 1,000. Now that shipments have started to come, valley pips, like all the other European impor- tations of which a shortage was threat- ened, will probably be in large supply. The enemies of Germany will have nothing to do with the products of that nation, no matter by what devious routes they reach the markets of the allied nations. Holland bulbs were neutral; the warring countries had no compunction about receiving them, al- though, of course, their purchases were far less than in other years. Of valley pips, a German product, horticulturists of the allied nations will accept not one case, though they came by way of the antipodes. It is a fair assump- tion, therefore, that the United States will have, at the least, all the valley pips its market will absorb, even though present receipts are behind those of the corresponding date a year ago.

In holding that a buyer of onion sets was not entitled to refuse delivery of them under a shipment made by the seller February 11, although the con- tract of sale contained a provision that shipment should not be made later than February 10, the Springfield, Mo., Court of Appeals decided, in the case of Kirkeby & Gundestrup Seed Co. vs. White, 153 Southwestern Reporter 279, that the question whether the time for delivery fixed by a sale contract is an essential element irust be determined after considering tne intention of the parties as manifested by all the lan- guage used in the agreement, and the surrounding circumstances. Accord- ingly, it was decided by the court that in this case the fact that the contract contained a provision that if the sets 8h6uld be shipped after February 10 the price would be 5 cents more per bushel, and another clause to the ef- fect that the seller would assemble the EUROPEAN SEEDS K«lway's can quote AND DELIVER: Carrot Lucorno Radish Rapo Turnip Cvlery Mustard Rutabaga Cauliflowor Winter Tires or Vetches Spinach Cabbage Boot Kalo Spiing Tares and FLOWER soods Those who have formerly placed their orders in other quarters will like, under present circumstances, our prices.

Mention The Review when you "write. sets in cold storage and hold them for shipment at a time convenient for the buyer, must be deemed to negative any idea that time was a vital element of the contract. Hence, it was held that the buyer had no ground for refusing to receive the shipment. S. APPROVE DISCLAIMER DISPLAY. We notice in The Review of Novem- ber 26 reference to the case brought against us by Thomas "Wallace in re- gard to a certain lot of corn which he purchased from us. In the last paragraph we notice that you state Mr. Wallace dealt direct with the store and not from the catalogue, in which appears notice of disclaimer. This is an error to a certain extent, as Mr. Wallace had been a customer dealing from catalogue from time to time. It is true that he bought this lot of corn personally from our Mr. Stubbs in the store, but no doubt had read previously the description of the corn in the cata- logue, with which he was familiar, hav- ing selected other items from it. Fur- thermore, we do use the disclaimer on practically all of our correspondence, with the exception of some short letter- heads, which are old stock. All of our letterheads, with this exception, have had the disclaimer on them for some time prior to this case. We think your suggestion that the disclaimer be displayed publicly in seed stores is a capital idea and believe it would save a good deal of discrepancy to trade generally. We expect to carry it out this season, displaying the dis- claimer prominently where there can be no chance or possibility of anyone not seeing it upon entrance into the store. Wood, Stubbs & Co. [It seems that Wood, Stubbs & Co. have conducted their previous corres- pondence with The Review on short letterheads exclusively. The large let- terhead, on which the above communi- cation was written, carries the dis- claimer in approved form. The trade awaits with interest the outcome of their case. — Ed.] SOUTHERN SEED SALES SOAR.

It is the greatest factor that enters into a purchase of seed, because you are not buying a finished product, but only the means by which your garden may be either a success or a failure. Seeds — good or bad — may look the same, but their resulting crops — Never! You cannot aflford to risk a season's effort with seeds of unknown quality. When you buy Burpee's Seeds the element of doubt is ab- sent. The confidence of many thousands of pleased and permanent customers has been secured by the Burpee Idea of Qaality First— "to give rather than to get all that is possible." The House of Burpee Has introduced more distinct new varieties of vegetable and flower seeds that are now in general cultivation than have any three other American firms, but never have we catalogued any one of these new varieties until it had passed all the exacting requirements of the Burpee-Standard. This Burpee-Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Fordhook Farms, America's largest and most complete trial grounds. These tests are made each year for the purpose of strengthening this Bond of Confidence between our customers and ourselves. We are specialists in seeds. Our entire time is devoted to producing and distributing seeds —seeds only— and only seeds of the best quality. We aim to do this one thing well. Burpee's Annual for 1915 The Leading American Seed Catalogue, is a bright new book of 182 pages. It is a Safe Guide to success and of real value to everyone who plants seeds either for pleasure or profit. Florists and Market Gardeners should have our "Blue List." This is our wholesale price list for planters. Write for these catalogues today. A postcard will bring them both. W. Atlee Burpee & Co.

' * I have been in the seed business for forty years, and our business this fall has been five times greater than ever before," said J. F. Haid, secretary and treasurer of Otto Schwill & Co. "The rush began in August and only slacked up a week ago with the first cold weather. "Our trade has come from farmers in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and northern Louisiana. In most eases farmers are planting wheat to sell, and oats, corn and hay to feed to their stock next year. There is no doubt that the cotton acreage will be greatly reduced. I look for southern farmers to plant more potatoes and garden truck next spring than ever in the past." The same condition is reported by J. L. Mosby, of the Tucker-Mosby Seed Co., who placed his estimate slightly lower than did Mr. Haid. "Onr bnsiness this fall has been two- thirds greater than ever before," Mr. Mosby said. "The demand has been for oats, wheat, barley and alfalfa through- out Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas. "We are expecting a big business in corn, potatoes and all kinds of garden truck in the spring and are preparing to handle the increased trade." GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING. Your Uncle Samuel's business of seed testing is on the increase, according to tlie report just issued from the avuncular headquarters beside the Potomac. At the Washington labora- tory the bureau has received 4,305 sam- ples of seeds from farmers and seeds- men. Of these 2,207 have been tested for mechanical purity, and practically all for germination. At the five cooper- ative laboratories 6,937 samples have been tested. In connection with the congressional seed distribution and the office of foreign seed and plant intro- duction, 9.'52 samples were tested. For other offices of the department 5,961 samples of seed, not representing com- mercial lots, were tested for germina- tion. Identifications were made of 380 specimens of plants and seeds. In carrying on the work on adul- terated seeds 1,470 samples of Kentucky bluegrass, orchard grass, hairy vetch and sweet clover were collected and examined and will be reported on later. A preliminary examination indicates that the quality of hairy vetch seed has greatly improved since it was previ- ously collected. Seed of the yellow- flowered biennial sweet clover has fre- quently been sold for that of the white- flowered biennial, the latter being usually preferred. In a number of cases the small annual yellow-flowered species has been sold either for the yellow- flowered or for the white-flowered bi- ennial. Of the seed reported on in 1913 only four per cent of the Ken- tucky bluegrass and approximately twenty per cent of the redtop was adulterated or misbranded. In connection with the enforcement of the seed-importation act, 815 lots were sampled by customs officials, of which twenty-four were prohibited entry. Of these, nine were recleaned in bond, nine were returned to the country of origin, one was denatured, and five are pending. It is becoming a general practice for dealers in the United States to buy seeds subject to the act. $60.00 per 100 75.00 per 100 125.00 per 100 Cold Storage Lily of the Valley Owing to war conditions, good stock is scarce.

Aside from the enforcement of the seed importation act, 2,490 samples of imported forage-plant seed have been received through the customs service and examined. The source of imported alfalfa seed has been studied. Practi- cally all the seed now coming into this country is commercial Sussian Turke- stan seed which is not adapted to gen- eral use. Easy means of identifying it have been published. The investigations on methods of seed germination and the practical value of hard seeds have been con- tinued, and reports for publication are nearing completion. LAST YBAB'S FREE SEEDS. The Bureau of Plant Industry, in its annual report, refers as follows to the congressional free seed distribution: "The congressional seed distribution has been continued as in the past, R. A. Oakley having succeeded L. M. Esta- brook in charge of this work. During the fiscal year 1914 there were dis- tributed on congressional and miscel- laneous requests 11,221,578 packages of vegetable seed, and 2,904,188 packages of flower seed, or a total of 14,125,766 packages, each containing five packets of different varieties. "There were also distributed 30,135 packages of improved cotton seed, 15,705 packages of lawn grass, includ- ing Bermuda grass, 13,534 boxes of imported narcissus and tulip bulbs, 8,890 grapevines, comprising thirteen varieties, 95,055 strawberry plants, comprising sixteen varieties, and lim- ited quantities of alfalfa, clover, vetch, cowpeas and soy beans. The seed was purchased on competitive bids, as here- tofore, and each lot was thoroughly tested for purity and viability before acceptance by the department. Ap- proximately seventy-five per cent of this seed was secured from surplus stocks, the remainder being grown under contract especially for th'3 de- partment. "The contract of last year for packeting, assembling and mailing vege- table and flower seed was continued in effect, the price being 94Vi! cents per 1,000 packets, which included hauling GLADIOLI America No. 1— Good forcing bulbs; also America No. 2, many of which, in our grading, run a full l^-lncll* Write at once for our special quotation on lots of 5000 to 10,000.

The Florists* Review HI Who Makes Business? The florist who harps on poor business and can see only the dark spots, should remember that things are about as we make them. If you have a grouch, don't nurse it. If the outlook is dark, punch a hole iu it. Think of better business, talk of bet- ter business, then pick up something that will MAKE better business. A bench of my seedling Silver Pink Soaps will come along so fast that there will be to chance to fret. Modestly speaking, they are such a pleasure from start to finish that we can safely recommend them as a grouch chaser. More dollars to the square foot than any plant in existence is not a dream. It is a proven fact. NOTE:-"The best we have seen."-Gude Bros. Co., Wash., D. C. "Couldn't get along without them ."— G. J. Wilson. So. Lyon, Mich. "BestSnapion the market.

Vegetable Forcing FOBCINO RHUBABB. Please tell me whether to cut or to pull out rhubarb stalks. Is it better to force it in the dark or lightf What is the best kind for forcing? C. E. S. Always pull out the rhubarb stalks. Grow it in as dark a place as possible; the stalks then come a bright red color. Victoria is hard to beat as a forcing variety. (;. W. NIGHT HEAT FOB RHUBABB. In forcing rhubarb is it advisable to allow the heat to subside at night? G. C. No; keep a good heat both night and day. If you want good rhubarb, and in as short a time as possible, you cannot afford to allow any more of a drop in the temperature at night than is necessary. C. W. RADISHES DAMPING OFF. I am growing radishes. After they are up about a week, they seem to rot or wilt off in spots, and the spots keep spreading. Is there anything I can put on them to prevent this? H. E. Y. Radishes require a comparatively low night temperature; 45 degrees is suffi- cient. They succeed better in solid beds than in raised benches, and should have a somewhat light, sandy soil. In heavy soil they are much more subject to damping off than in sandy soil. The roots, also, will be more likely to become scabby or maggoty. The rows should be six inches apart. Seed should be sifted, in order to secure an even stand. A maximum temperature of 65 degrees in winter is ample. Air must be given at every opportunity, as radishes resent coddling. tRadishes should have a rich but somewhat light soil. Horse manure is the best fer- tilizer to use, and after each crop is cleared, some should be thoroughlj' in- corporated in the soil if it shows any signs of exhaustion. It is difficult to determine why your plants are damping off unless more is known of soil, cul- tural conditions, etc., but I hope you may get some Lelp from these hints. C. W.

With the publication of this Album it became pos- sible to show th« flnlshsd work in beautifully printed pictures. The first edition sold like hot-cakes, and a second edition went quickly.

All stock was practically cleaned out early in the day. Various Notes. A call at the orchid establishment of J. A. Carbone, at Berkeley, found Mr. Carbone busy looking after his choice stock of plants. He has a big variety of stock, consisting of about 25,000 plants. His cattleyas are look- ing fine and he will have a good crop for Christmas. F. Aebi, of Berkeley, grows mostly roses. His Killarney and Eiehmond will be in heaviest flower for the Christmas trade. He also has a house of Taft and one of the Kirk rose, which are coming along nicely. ' J. Seulberger reports business to date as highly satisfactory. He has a large family trade and carries a large stock in accordance. The Thorsted Floral Co. makes a special feature of a window of basket arrangements, which is changed daily. This is considered by the firm as the best advertising medium. E. R. C. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Since Thanksgiving there have been few large social events, but a steady demand for small quantities of stock has kept the market pretty well cleaned up every day. Roses and carnations are being held back by the cloudy weather and are none too plentiful. Mums are in full supply. Chadwick and Maud Dean are in their prime. Killarney, White Killarney, Ophelia and Mrs. Aaron Ward are the best roses. Richmonds are scarce. No American Beauties are grown here. There are but few local grown violets, but plenty of California stock is to be had. There is a full supply of or- chids, with no great demand for them. Blooming pot plants and decorative stock find a fair sale, cyclamens and ferns being in greatest demand. The old-fashioned round bouquets with ornamental paper shields sell well. The nurserymen have about finished lifting their deciduous stock and have orders booked for most of it. They have heeled in large quantities for fill- ing orders for spring delivery. It is an off season for the local se^d trade. Those firms which have whDlE- sale departments are packing orders for January delivery. Several representatives of foreign bulb growers have been soliciting or- ders for next year's crop, but have found rather hard picking. Bulb buy- ers are inclined to wait till they see the results of this year's investments before they figure on next year's sup- ply. Advance orders for Christmas stock are reported equal to former years. Various Notes. Chas. Waid, who has a range of glass on East Ninety-second street, is growing a large quantity of bedding stock, principally geraniums. Most of his products are used by the Portland fiailway, Light & Power Co. at Bull Bun park and at their stations along the Hue.

Things have been pretty good in the flower business during the last week. Most of the stores had a good Thanks- giving trade. Conditions since have been fair and prospects point to a con- tinuation of moderately good times for the remainder of the year. Carnations, in contrast to the late oversupply, are now becoming scarce, and, conaie- quently, there is more demand fbr them than for any other flower. Many of the blooms are soft and have weak stems. Blooms from held-over plants are splitting considerably. Eoses are good and in fair demand. Chrysanthe- mums never were better; of these there is a good supply locally and a few are still coming from the south. Paper Whites are being largely used and callas are arriving in good numbers.

Not only has trade fallen away, but outstanding money has been so hard to get that some of the florists could' barely keep above expenses. A slight boost in trade has been noticeable in the last two weeks and it is hoped that this will continue. From orders al- ready received for Christmas, it looks as if the people will use flowers more than usual as gifts. A number of elaborate weddings are taking place and a few of the florists are busy with them. Potted ferns and blooming plants are selling fairly well. Chrys- anthemums and roses are ^oing best among cut flowers. Funeral work has been pretty well distributed ond some have received orders for a week 's work or more. Various Notes. Mrs. Vern L. Schluraff has returnet! from California, where she visited her mother during the summer. William Lay, who entered into partnership with Vern L. Schluraflf early in the sptlil^ has severed his connection with the Schluraff firm. He withdrew last week. Joseph Robb, of the Robb Floral Co., has taken Fred Berst, of this city, as a partner in his business. M. W. M. CHRYSANTHEMUM STOCK PLANTS Pacific Supreme, $2.00 per ITO. OeranlnraM, Rooted (aitinsw.

Much concern is being expressed by the florists throughout the city at the present condition of business. Aside from funeral work, there is little ac- tivity. The growers are complaining that they are not receiving enough for their stock to pay expenses and the retailers are telling of losses of stock left on their hands. Chrysanthemums continue the top of the market, both as to quantity and quality, but are ^uggish in movement, even at low prices. Various Notes. Joseph Koppelman received twenty cases of imported Japanese baskets last week. O. H. Williams was in Chicago last week in search of a boiler for his greenhouses. Maurice Torgan, formerly with J. Koppelman and later with Johnston Bros., has accepted a position in Hart- ford, Conn. Henry Patry has severed his connec- tion with Johnston Bros. Edmund J. Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & Co., is convalescing from a severe attack of the grip. O'Connor had the decorations for the double debutante reception dance at the Nightingale mansion last week. Al Macrae, of F. Macrae's Sons, was out last week after a siege with typhoid fever. William H. Tarbox, of West Green- Mrich, has just received a large impor- tation of dahlias from Europe. George L. Stillman, of Westerly, has the sympathy of a large circle of acquaintances in the death of his son, who was in his twenty-first year. The lad had been an invalid for a number of years. George H. Bead, for many years superintendent of the Riverside ceme- tery, at Pawtucket, died last week, in his .eighty-eighth year. W. H. M.

We are heating a greenhouse, 28x100, by the overhead, downhill hot water system^ with a pipe running to the expansion tank from a 4-inch main di- rectly over the boiler. The top of the main is only about eight inches below the bottom of the expansion tank. Now I wish to attach a mercury generator, and of course I shall be unable to locate the generator between the top of the main and the bottom of the tank. Will good results follow if the generator is located at some point below where the expansion pipe is connected with the mainf A. B. B. In order to secure any benefit from a generator, it must be used in connection with a closed system, as a generator really is nothing more than a safety valve and vacuum valve combined. Hence, unless the expansion tank can be put under pressure, no effect will be secured from the generator. How- ever, the generator can be attached to the system, either on the flow or on the return pipe, provided the expansion tank is removed and an air valve is inserted at the highest part of the main. This, however, might cause trouble, since air might collect in the main and hinder the circulation. To correct this diflSculty, unless the expansion tank now in use is capable of being put under a pressure of 100 pounds, I would suggest that it be replaced with a small, riveted steel tank, with a water column on the side and an air valve in the top. With a reasonable amount of attention, the main can then be kept free from air, and by using the circulator the water can be carried under pressure. HEATINQ WITH COIL BOILEB. Kindly inform me how to heat a greenhouse for tomato growing, 120 feet long, twelve feet to the ridge and five feet to the eaves. I do not wish to use larger than 2-inch flows. The twenty feet at the end nearest the boiler I should like to use for seedlings or cut- tings if necessary, with bottom heat in two of the 5-foot benches. The temper- ature in the district where I wish to build reaches 40 degrees below zero, and I should require a temperature of 55 degrees. I purpose building a coil of extra heavy 2-inch tubing six feet long and four feet wide inside a fire-brick casing.

To heat such a house to 55 de^ees under the severe conditions mentioned, I should use seven 2-inch flow pipes and fourteen 2-inch returns. It would be far better to put in five 2^-inch flows and fifteen 2-ineh returns. Bun one flow on each plate, another two feet below the ridge and distribute the others as well as pos- sible. While a coil boiler may be constructed in the manner described, I should pre- fer to use a regular boiler rated for about 2,000 square feet of radiation. A coil boiler to heat the house should contain about 100 square feet of fire surface, which would require about twenty-five flues of 2-inch pipe six feet long and six square feet of grate. The cost would be about one-half that of a regular boiler. PIPING IS UNSATISFACTORY. I should like to ask you a question or two about the heating of my two green- houses, which are located, as you see, in the southern part of New Brunswick, Canada. My heating system did not work well last winter and I want to see whether I can improve the piping in some way. The houses are 52x300 and twenty-two feet high to the ridge. The side walls are eight feet high; the lower half is stone and the upper half is glass. I have two boilers, each 150 horse-power. How many 1%-inch pipes will be needed to heat one of the houses for roses f What is the best arrange- ment of the piping? W. P. A simple way to heat the houses would be to taie off five 2-inch flow pipes, carrying one on each plate, an- other ten feet below the ridge and the others on the purlins; or, if there are purlin posts, they may be on these, eight or ten feet from the floor. Con-' nect each of these flow pipes at the farther end of the house with a coil of 1%-inch pipes, using six pipes in each of the wall coils and three in each of the others. The letter states that one of the houses is to be used for roses, but it does not indicate what temperature is desired in the other house. In case 50 to 55 degrees will suffice, it will only be necessary to use fifteen 1^-inch re- turns, placing four on each wall and two under the purlins, with three in the middle coil.

The first week in December brought dark weather, but the market was fairly brisk. As a result of the dreary- weather, the supply of flowers haa shortened up considerably. Carnations are exceedingly scarce. Boses also are less plentiful, the best varieties being Shawyer, Bussell, Richmond and Rhea Reid. Yellow roses are scarce and . Killarney is oflf color. The orchid- flowering sweet peas are coming in nicely. Snapdragon is scarce. Stevia is quite plentiful and of excellent quality. There are some fine blooming plants on the market. All florists are busy with wreaths and Christmas reds and greens, prepar- ing for the holiday business, and are -requesting the public to order early, although in this business the "early shopping" injunction may not be as effectual as in other lines of merchan- dise, since the goods are all of a per- ishable nature. The outlook for Christ- mas is considered good. Various Notes. Decorations for the opening of the new store of the Parrott Studio & Art Co. were effective and were by the Flick Floral Co. The Bradley Flower Shop is featur- ing the Christmas greens and reds in the show windows, in the form of bas- kets of immortelles, ruscus and box- wood and French boutonnieres of im- mortelles. The greenhouses of Frank Knecht & Co. are making an excellent showing of roses. Their Shawyer and Russell are particularly good. Carnations also are in splendid condition. Frank Knecht reports the business during the month of November to have made a substan- tial increase over the other months since the season opened. W. J. & M. S. Vesey turned out a big run of funeral work December 6. They are cutting some good roses, but the carnation crop is short at present. Funeral work was extra heavy at the establishment of A. J. Lantemier & Sons last week. They say business has been splendid since Thanksgiving. The New Haven Floral Co. has been shipping some fine carnations and roses to this market. They had an extra good lot of chrysanthemums this sea- son. E. F. GEO.

During the first part of last week the market was only fair, but, as the week progressed, the call for stock in general became better and better, and by the end of the week was good, so that nearly everything worth while cleaned up nicely. Shipping business is good. Boses are having a good mar- ket, and everything of any real quality in this line is selling readily. Rich- mond, White Killarney, Shawyer, Sun- burst and Ivory are excellent. Killar- ney, however, is a little off color, ow- ing to the cloudy weather we have been having for the last fortnight. Ameri- can Beauties are cleaning up readily. Carnations are selling better than at the last writing. Lilies, too, are meet- ing with a better market than in the early part of last week. The few good late mums that come in find a ready sale. Other offerings include violets, valley, orchids, sweet peas, stevia, callas, narcissi, baby primroses, wall- flowers and forget-me-nots. Greens are abundant. Christmas decorative greens and material are meeting with a strong demand. The new winter berries are in the market and are excellent in quality. Various Notes. The Florists' Club will hold its next regular meeting December 14. The committee on the valuation of growing plants for taxation purposes will re- port. C. E. Critchell received his first lot of winter berries last week. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been receiving good late chrysan- themums, which have been selling readily. Tromey's Flower Shop has purchased Mrs. Henry Glins' store, at 1713 Vino street. Mrs. C. E. Critchell has the sympathy of her many friends in the trade in the loss of her father, whose death occurred last week. Gus Adrian has a fine looking lot of poinsettias at his Clifton greenhouses. Visitors include Martin Eeukauf and I. Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; Dean G. Warner, Akron, 0., and R. C. Bertsch, of Greens- burg, Ind. C. H. H. NEWPORT, E. I.

Although the weather has been bad, business has been good and everyone seems to be getting the Christmas spirit and Christmas shopping has al- ready begun. A number of orders have been booked for Christmas deliv- ery. Funeral work has been heavy, while parties and dances have made a good demand for flowers. Stock is not so plentiful as it was at this time last year, but roses and carnations are of good quality and the supply is equal to the demand. Good chrysanthemums are all gone and there only remain a few straggling blooms of inferior quality. Various Notes. Clarence Peterson, of Cincinnati, was in Knoxville December 2, taking orders for Christmas delivery. He had some fine samples of begonias and cyclamens and received a number of orders. Mr. Peterson reports optimistically in re- gard to business throughout the south- ern states. C. L. Baum is cutting some fine car- nations and orchids. He will have a large number of fine azaleas in bloom for Christmas. A. H. Dailey reports a good business for last week. He is making some changes and improvements about his store. Addison J. McNutt had a good trade last week. His sweet peas are fine and will be in full crop for Christmas. Mrs. Rosa Hall Eyno has been busy with funeral work. She is cutting some fine carnations. The store force at Croucli 's has been busy, funeral work being unusually. heavy, while weddings, parties and dances have made a great demand for flowers, corsage work especiallv being good. R. E. M. La Grange, 111. — A special Saturday cash sale of chrysanthemums has been a source of profit to the La Grange Floral & Seed Co.

We do not use a thing because someone else does. We use it because •we have proven it to be the best thing to use. Tomorrow, for example, after the results of a se- ries oi tests and experi- ments, we may prove to ourselves that some other thing which we are not using is better, and it will be promptly adopted. It may seem, some- times, as if we changed our minds overnight- Based on elaborately Intricate flKurlncr. by oureDirlneers. of roof stress and '■trains, we abs lutely know that the method of bracing Is the best for preventiiif; lcnKthwl«e movement of ifieenhouses when, as a matter of_fact, we have been making tests and slowly changing our minds for months and months. Our salesmen know ex- actly why we use the things we use, the way we use them. If you but give them half a chance, they can prove up to you, step by step, why our ma- terials and construction are beyond a question of doubt the very best in the market today.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY December 10, 1914. The Florists^ Review m TO-BAKINE [TRADE MARK] 44 THE OLD RELIABLE" THE. ABOVE BIRD'S-EYE VIEW REPRESENTS THE ENLARGED DETROIT NICOTINE CO.'S PLANT FOR THE MANUFACTURE OP TO-BAK-INE PRODUCTS. The demand for To-Bak-Ine became bo large that the output could not keep pace and during the summer of 1913 the size and capacity of the factory has been doubled. All orders can now be taken care of promptly. The use of tobacco stems and tobacco dust as an insecticide is well known; also the fact that the burning of them is frequently dangerous to greenhouse plants, due to the presence of ammonia, while they often have little or no effect on the insects, owing to the great variation of the Nicotine 8treni>th, sometimes containing practically none. Therefore it is im- possible for the florist to secure satisfactory results unless be uses standardized products containing a definite amount of Nicotine. This quality is found in To-Kak-lne Products. The sales of To-Bak-Ine Products now are double those of previous years; we do not know bow there could be a stronger testimonial to their merit. TO-BAK-INE LIQUID la a concentrated solution of refined Nicotine, always containing a definite amount (45% nicotine), adjusted by chemical assay, making it a most efficient Insectlc'lde for spraying or vaporizing. P^ree from ammonia and tobacco odor, makes it especially desirable for use on greenhouse plants and vegetables for killing insect pests and leaving no after odor or taste. To-Bak-Inb liquid is witboiit doubt the cheapest insecticide on the market for spraying ; Its cost is nominal considering the value received and results obtained. No labor is required In making up solution. Put up In %-pint, V4-plnt, %-plnt, pint, ^-gallon, gallon and 5-galion cans. Special 10 and 20-gallon casks for large users. fO-BAK-INE ^^LIQUID ^ •^wrr NICOTINE * SPECIAL NOTICE We wish to direct your special attention to the fact that when a florist buys Nicotin* products by maasur* b* K*ts mora NIcotlna than whan ha buys by walsht. Most persons believe eight pounds make a gallon— but one gallon of To-Uak-lne Liquid, containing 45% Nicotine weighs about 8% pounds and contains about '27,50 grains Nicotine. To-Bak-lne Liquid is the strongest and most high' refined Nicotine product offered, and costs no more, but less, than othars whan rasults ara mada comparatlva. TO-BAK-iNE- niiCATiNc rArcu mimcAwtoBim •norrlNiconHi CO TO-BAK-INE FUMIQATINQ PAPER is an especially prepared paper, each sheet being saturated with a definite amount of pure nicotine, making It a most valuable and extremely convenient and neat Insecti- cide for fumigating purposes; It is also free from ammonia, which is present In ordinary tobacco smoke and extracts. To- Bak-Inb FUMIQATINQ PAPERS are recom- mended for use on delicate flowers and plants. Put up in harmatlcally saalad tin cana of 24 full length sheets: ^ case, 6 cans, 114 sheets; 1 case, 12 cans, 288 sheets. TO-BAK-INE FUMIQATINQ AND DUSTINQ POWDER In some cases a slow and long fumiga- ' tlon is deslrnlile. and therefore offer to the trade a fumigntlng powder for this pur- pose.

Latest Iron Frame, Flat Rafter Type We Are Now Building House No. 3 of the New Gullett Range TOURING the latter part of the summer we ^^ built two iron frame, flat rafter green- houses, each 60 feel wide and 500 feet long, for W. H. Gullett & Sons, of Lincoln. 111. These greenhouses were manufactured and erected by us complete in every way, including the large service building, chimney, high pressure boilers, vacuum heating system and concrete work. These two houses constitute the beginning of a range of 24 such houses. Work is to go right on with this range, and we are building house No. .'? now. Part of the wood and steel work is on the ground, the posts are set and the concrete wo'k is finished. The balance of the material is being shipped this week. These are some of the most modern and finest houses that money can buy and well worth a visit to see. Write to us if yau are interested— we will be glad to show them to you.

Here are a number of methods, employed to keep the glass clear; if you know a better, tell us of it. ITH the coming of winter, inquiries as to the best means of preventing the formation of steam and frost on show windows begin to reach the office of The Review. Dissatis- fied with the methods generally em- ployed to this end, all of which have one disadvantage or another. The Review has sought for one which would enable its readers to dis- pose of this problem mor6 easily. Many have had suggestions to offer. None of them, however, is entirely free from objection on one score or another. Perhaps there is no perfect method. All are practical, nevertheless, and The Review gives them to its readers, for use as befits their varying conditions. Just the Wrong Time. Steam forms on the window when the water vapor in the warm atmosphere of the store comes in contact with the cold • glass. As the flower Store has an un- usually moist atmosphere, its windows are the more liable to be coated with frost, particularly in the coldest weath- er. Layer after layer of moisture freezes to the pane, so that the lower part sometimes becomes covered with ice on the days when the mercury is registering its minimum for the year. ThesG are just the days when the flo- rist is most desirous of making an attrac- tive display, to sug- gest to those who may see it that they brighten up t h ei r homes with flowers and plants. He can afford the least of all storemen to have his win- dows obscured at this time of the year. So his hunt for a preventive is an earnest one. Heat in the front ' of the store does little or no good. In the old days, the burning of gas-jets in the window cleared only a circle within a few inches of the flame. There seem to. be, widely speaking, but two general means of clearing the glass after frost has once formed, and two of preventing the moisture's collecting on the' pane, one method serving for both. Double Window Expensive. In these is not included the construc- tion of a double window. This is formed of two panes of glass, with an air chamber of about one-half inch in thickness between — similar in design to the doors of florists' refrigerators. These are said to be absolutely frost- proof, but they are pretty expensive if the florist has large window space. They are, also, bound to become dirty in time, even if they are as air-tight as can be made. It seems that the closed-in window, that is, the one with the display space shut off by a partition from the rest of the store, is the one that is most easily frosted. The reason for this is obvious. Watering of plants, the pres- ence of vases filled with water, etc., make the atmosphere in the window more' moist than that in any other part of the store. If this moisture-laden air is shut off from the rest of the store, steam and frost will surely form on the glass whenever it is much colder than the air. If, however, there is no partition between the window and the store, Don't Let the Frost Obscure a Good Display Such as This. the circulation of the air will dissipate the water vapor from the window through the rest of the store. Florists who have a good circulation of air in their stores and windows open to the rest of trie room, have, therefore, little, or no trouble from frost or steam on their windows. Attempts to create air circulation often lead to drafts, which work harm to the stock in the window and some- times the rest of the store. This is the drawback to the suggestion of boring small holes in the sash at the top and bottom of the window, and to another, similar in character, of plac- ing ventilators in these places. Electric Fan Effective. The simplest, and probably as com- mon as any, means of removing steam and frost from the window, as well as of preventing their formation, is a small electric fan. A 10-inch elec- tric fan placed in a corner of the win- dow, and nearly facing it, will create a current of air that will carry away the moisture. This air movement both removes frost and steam from the glass and prevents their forming. Some flo- rists declare their use of an electric fan in this way does not affect the flowers and plants on display. Cold water is excellent for removing frost from' the glass if it can be used in such a way as not to injure the win- dow display. The florist may take his bulb spray and spray cold water on the glass, beginning at one corner of the top and going back and forth until the bottom is reached. If the construction of the window per- mits, he may flow cold water down the glass. This has to be done once or twice a day. For preventing the formation of steam and frost, the appli- cation of a solution of glycerine and al- cohol, say twice a week, is effective, but the window is not clear when thus coated.

The quantitjT of each Jiquid va- ries with users. One says dissolve the glycerine in €3 per cent alcohol; an- other says take two parts of the latter to one of the former; still another recom- mends an equal amount of each. One recipe calls for the addition of some oil of amber to improve the odor. From one of the housewifely sex comes the suggestion that olive oil be used as a coating. For any and all of these, linen cloths — old napkins, one suggests — should be used to rub the liquid on ;he glass. There are, also, preparations for sale which are rubbed on the glass with a soft cloth or chamois. Acting in the same manner as glycerine, these in- sure clear windows in the coldest and dampest of weather, according to those who make them. Some readers may have already used something of the kind to prevent the fogging of their spectacles or eyeglasses in cold weath- er, and know their worth. APPLES AS ATTRACTION. When the national apple show came to Spokane, Wash., last month, the win- dow artist of Hoyt Bros. Co. still had An mind the article on timeliness in window displays which had occupied the front page of The Review shortly before. So he set about to produce an up-to-the-minute window, and the decoration shown in the illustration on the preceding page was the result. With the weight of her heaping cargo of apples, the good ship Columbia is list- ing slightly, but whether to larboard or starboard it is hard to state, for the vessel is canoe-shaped. From the rigging hung baskets of flowers, asso- ciating things pleasing to the eye with those pleasing to the palate. Cloth and wax paper in the foreground were used to produce an impressionistic his father. He worked most of his time with his father, who is a butcher, and could devote only his spare time to greenhouse ■♦vork. He made the business successful, however, and this last sum- mer built the addition and store that are shown in the accompanying illustra- tion. Although the town has only a population of about 5,000, Mr. Obergfell believes the store will prove a good in- vestment. GOTHAM BETAILERS ORGANIZE. A number of the prominent retail flo- rists of New York city have formed and incorporated a new association called the Associated Retail Florists, Inc. The first meeting was held at the Hotel Woodward, December 8, at which the following officers were elected: President, Michael A. Bowe; vice-president. Max Schling; treasurer, George E. M. Stumpp; secretary, Wil- liam H. Siebrecht, Jr.; directors, Mar- shall Clarke, Max Schling, George E. M. Stumpp, Michael A. Bowe and Will- iam Burns. At the first meeting resolutions were adopted, appealing to the commissioner of labor for his approval for the ex- emption of the florists in the city of New York and their employees from the operation of the rest clause of the labor law, which requires them to give em- ployees twenty-four consecutive hours' rest each week; and also appealing to the industrial board for an order ex- empting florists from the provisions of the said law. The following resolutions, showing the spirit of the association toward other organizations, were unanimously adopted: Whereu, it is one of the purpones of this organization to promote a more enlarged and friendly Intercourse between retail florUts and Ijorticulturists generally, as set forth In the first article nf the certificate of incorporation, and more fully .set forth in the by-laws, and.

J., with a 30-foot greenhouse erected by the trade, including the retail florists, the whole- sale florists and the growers, are Identirnl, nod, ' Whereat, the roiiioration believes that what- ever is for the true benefit of any one branch of the flower business will be for the beoeflt of all, therefore be it Sesolved, that this corporation shall, and hereby expresses its Intention, to work In com- plete harmony with the other branches of the flower business, namel.v, the wholesalers and the growers: and further be it Resolved, that no Important action for the benefit of the trade generally shall be consum- ninted until the IiIhu thereof shall have i>een Bubniitted fo the other two brnnclK » of the trade, as represented J)y their organizations, and the results of their deliberations can be placed before this corporation. A committee consisting of Messrs. Stumpp, Schling and Kottmiller was ap- pointed to confer with the New York and New Jersey Association of 'Plant Growers, the Wholesale Florists' Pro- tective Association and the New York Florists' Club, and to obtain their co- operation for the passage of an amend- ment to the section of the labor law above mentioned and to exempt florists from the operation thereof. The' mat- ter of closing hours on evenings and Sundays, steamship rates, and many other items came up for discussion and action. This new association, which is being promoted by the Or-Man Corporation, already has over thirty members and new applications are coming in daily. W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., Sec'y. PLANTING IN CEMETERIES. Lot Owners' and Florists' Rights. It has become the practice for the larger cemeteries to bar florists from doing work for lot owners, the purpose of course being to pocket the profit that comes from the planting of graves and the care of lots. To settle the question whether cemetery companies have the right to enforce regulations of this character, the suit of Gen. R. Dale Benson and 175 other lot owners against the Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia, was given a bearing December 9, before Judge Ralston in Court of Common Pleas No. 5. The court was asked to enjoin the cemetery company from enforcing a resolution requiring that all plotting work and floral decoration of graves be done exclusively by gardeners selected by the management. This rule was adopted in November, 1913, and, unless declared void, will go into effect January 1. Counsel for the lot owners contended that the resolution was a manifest at- tempt to shut out gardeners employed by lot owners, and if not enjoined, would give the company's florists and gardeners an unwarranted monopoly of work in the cemetery, and result in discrimination against independent gar- deners. Testimony was produced to show that the special corps of gardeners favored by the management charge higher prices for their work and, in many in- stances, the lot owners assert, were not as efficient an^ satisfactory as their own gardeners. *^ Counsel for the Laurel Hill manage- ment urged the necessity of a strict reg- ulation in the employment of garden- ers for the protection of the entire body of lot owners. Otherwise, he said, there would be undesirable invasion of the cemetery by irresponsible garden- ers, whose work might not conform to requirements. As to the prices for the work desired by lot owners, it was pointed out this would not be to the disadvantage of the complainants, as alleged, but would be entirely regulated according to the quality and extent of the work done. TELEGRAPH ORDERS GOOD. Secretary Albert Pochelon, of the F. T. D., has sent out the following circular letter: In view of the war conditions in Europe there will undoubtedly be an ^WiWI^JtWH^y*':"*.'*' Decbmbeb 17, 1014. The Florists^ Review 19 increase noted in the sending of flow- jra by telegraph in this country dur- ing the coming holiday period. Much advertising has been carried forward by individual members of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery; special window displays have been in order from New York to San Francisco, showing the advantages of sending flowers by mail or telegraph at a dis- tance with no added expense. Thou- sands of people are being appealed to in person by the better class of shop- keepers, who have in a measure in- stilled confidence with the flower buy- ing public, so that friends may be re- membered at a distance with nature's wares safely and promptly. Surely these earnest efforts have not been wasted, and thousands of dollars are reaching florists' channels; indirectly, the wholesaler, grower, tradesman, and directly the shopkeeper. The opportunity of testing out this comparatively new but important phase of our welfare is at hand. Advertise flowers by telegraph during the com- ing holidays — in the newspapers, in trade papers, on sign boards or auto- nvobiles, special pamphlets, on bill- heads or telegrams if you like, but do try to persuade some of the pros- pective thousands into using this con- venient phase of the flower business and reimburse yourself as well as your brother florist. The oflSoers and directors of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery wish to thank those whose constant efforts in this direction are bringing in such handsome returns, and extend to them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Irwin Bertermann, Pres. A TOPICAL REVIEW. Under Southwestern Conditions. A clerical edict against the use of flowers at funerals may not have the effect of a boycott, but it hurts, and Kansas City says it does. Of course there are certain abuses, but one might as well forbid Christmas, wedding, birthday and other gifts. Whether or not it is within the pale of the church to discuss commercial matters from the pulpit in favor or disfavor of various interests is not for me to answer. The wealthy look upon credit as a privilege. Retailers catering to this class of trade find it more difficult with every year to collect outstanding ac- counts. Many of them deem it pro- pitious to cash in sixty per cent of the total. Deadbeatism is the order of the day, and owing to strife and competi- tion, the florists' associations accom- plish little toward eradicating this evil. In such matters the ego seems to pre- dominate, though the year winds up with losses or without profit. Thus, a number of retailers trying to do a cash business in a credit zone eke out a miserable existence, for high rents and other fashionable expenses render a net earning impossible. In business just to gain a livelihood and to be one's own boss is a hazardous enterprise and has no commendable feature. One should distinguish between art florists and "truck bloomers." The latter are the cheap-Johns of the trade, and with more luck than knowledge, are largely responsible for many of the evils obtaining in the commission, wholesale and retail branches. During the halcyon days of the industry, they Store of MiUs the Florist, Jacksonville, Fla., Decorated for an Opening. were scarcely noticed and their "truck" went with the general stock at average prices. But the business has become so tense that brains must figure largely in conducting the business at a profit and maintaining its integrity. One-half of the florists pretend ig- norance of how the other hal^ exist. Taking into account the augmented cost through rapid delivery and other service and the lesser consumption and cheapening of funeral and other work, the pretension seems charitable. Some one must be the loser, pay the freight and get little for the goods, and the plaints of the small growers seem not without cause. There has been some complaint about flower and plant hucksters or peddlers buying from and selling to every Tom, Dick and Harry at unfixed prices. Marketing cripple and cull stock not only disturbs the standard of the trade, but injures fair competition. Everyone may be the architect of his own fortune, but the botch line should be drawn on some landscape architects excelling chiefly through bizarre un- symmetry and tangles and the amount of sod they can dispose of because some patch yielded it without cost. Buying reeds, bulbs, nursery stock, etc., by catalogue from a distance with- out guarantee and cash in advance, is one of the idiosyncrasies characterizing the average American farmer and gardener, despite the fact the local or nearby dealer sells just as cheaply and with recourse. Fads and fashions and whims devour as many millions as a small war. "Mail orders filled by parcel post; telegraph orders by express," is a new window sign. "Which wins! Antiquated houses, or Noah's arks, as a wag puts it, may still grow for the market without accumulating debt with every season, but the grower must have become past master in florihu»- bandry. John B. Bindfleisch. FLORIDA FIRM'S FALL OFENIKO. Probably one of the most ambitious exhibitions that has been attempted by any florist's concern in the south was that got up by Mills the Florist, Inc., at Jacksonville, Fla., for the firm's an- nual fall opening and reception. The store was elaborately decorated with white and yellow chrysanthemums, about 1,200 being used altogether. The rose and palm gardens outside were also decorated for the occasion by Mr. Lynch, the interior decorator and de- signer. The event of the evening, however, was the appearance of Miss Farrin, who represented, successively, a bridesmaid, matron of honor, bride in wedding cos- tume and bride in traveling dress, car- rying exquisite bouquets appropriate for each person and costume represented. As the bride entered the arched door- way to the music of the wedding march and passed along the aisle, shown in the view of the store given herewith, to the kneeling stool at the altar in the rear of the room, carrying a large shower bouquet of orchids and valley the spectators were as much impressed as if they had been witnessing a reaJ ceremony in a church. The bouquets were later placed on view in the rose garden outside, where a large number of roses were alsa shown. In the receiving line were the ^fficers of the company: President, C. D. Mills; vice-president, F. L. White and secretary and treasurer, C. Leslie Whipp. To close the evening, a spread was given the employees of the store. Waterford Works, N. J.— Charles H.

We are approaching the shortest and darkest day of the year and, with a lew exceptions, orchids now need all j^sible light. If any shade remains on the glass, remove it. If whitewash has been used, instead of kerosene and white lead, which softens up and re- ihoves quite readily, use a little sal doda in warm water and with a long- liaadled mop dampen the parts to be cleaned. This is better than using a syringe, which wets and helps to re- move paint from the woodwork. Where orchid houses gather considerable soot, the roofs should be given a scrub-down followed by a hosing. If shading is left on cattleyas now, the plants will re- main a fine, dark green color, but they become soft and will flower disap- pointingly. Ventilation. The cattleya house should rarely be tightly closed. In fact, except during really severe weather, a chink of air can be left on either at the top or the bottom ventilators. Where small ven- tilators are provided in the walls, these can be left at least partly open on all but a limited number of nights in the y6ar. Avoid a close, moist atmosphere where cattleyas are growing. They must have air. The close conditions, however, are more to the liking of phalsenopsis, cypripediums and other East Indian varieties. Watering. Plants for the next two months will need less water at the roots than at any other period of the year. All watering should be done in the morn- ing and clear days should be selected for the work. On dark, damp days leave watering alone altogether. The plants can well wait one or two days, and perhaps you may have noticed that plants which are kept on the dry side aie much healthier looking than such as are kept a little too moist. Cat- tleyas, such as labiata, Bowringeana, Portia, etc., that recently have finished flowering, should be kept drier than such as are flowering or making up their bulbs. As fire heat is now used steadily, suflScient moisture should be kept on the floors and below the benches so that there will be no chance for spider or thrips to get a foothold on such varieties as are susceptible to ikftir Attacks. Potting. Such cattleyas as labiata can be addition to sponges, sharp-pointed ■sticks and small,' : stiff ' brushes are needed . to thoroughly remove scale frOm the ends of the. pseudo-bulbs. Apply an insecticide wJien sponging. Bponge the bulbs well in addition to •the foliage. Cut away any temains of .old sheaths,. which .are excellent lurking places for plant pests. At the same -ttttier; cat . away . all • dead and ..useless ■growths. It is. really, surprising what lan l;iiiiproyed appearance a batch of ■orciudsj piesjente, which, ias Ueen care* -f iflly- spoxtged" and trimmed. • . taken in hand almost at once and ai^y potting OT surface dressing done. All plants which have roots hanging over the edges of the pots should be re- potted. Cattleyas with overhanging roots always have a stunted, half- shriveled appearance. Osmunda fiber is the best potting medium for prac- tically all orchids and, as there will soon be lots of overhauling needed. It would be well to secure a good supply of fiber, also some live sphagnum moss, which is useful for surface-dressing odontoglossums and many of the Ea^t Indian warm house varieties. F<|r cattleyas, use the coarser grades of the fiber, which is the most indestructible. Shake out all loose, dusty material first. It need hardly be said that all orchids, no matter whether in pots, pans or baskets, should be thoroughly firmed. Plants which will wobble around will never do any good. Sponging. This is the season when there is more time to do necessary sponging and cleaning than at any other period. In WI^ AZkL^AS ABE INSPECTED. - In .the .

An additional instance of this kind is reported in this news-letter, on azaleas from Belgium. It does not seem safe to neglect inspection of any imported plant which may be field-grown. Quite fre- quently, also, azaleas and similar plants are set out in gardens or dooryards after their house use is completed, or are thrown out in yards or vacant lots, where the hatching larvae later on may easily gain access to vegetation. ' ' ODEN LETTEri^^"» DEADED0. ANOTIQBB "PENT UP UTIOA." While on the train en route to New York I bought a Utica newspaper from the train boy — the Utica Daily Press, dated November 27. I thought I would see at least the advertisements of four or five florists, but I was much sur- prised to find none. Now, if I remember correctly, there are about thirty florists in the vicinity of Utica, and it is a good shipping point too. In checking up the ads in the paper, I found, -exclusive of the classified ads, the announcements of druggists, shoe stores, clothing stores, jewelers, milliners, cigar dealers, de* partment stores, plumbers, opticians, window cleaners, etc., in all about forty different lines. Chief among them to attract my attention was a 4-inch ad, well displayed, offering artificial eyes. Now, if it pays to advertise in the daily papers artificial eyes, it certainly would pay some fiorist to advertise. I would not be a bit surprised to find that business in the floral line is "dull" in Utica; I would not wonder at it at all. Florists must advertiM. Utica is no exception particularly, for there are scads of other towns with good dailies of which florists do not take advantage. In this same Utica paper eight inch- es of news space was devoted to a flow- er bazaar held in some auditorium, opened that day. It certainly surprises me that florists do not seem to realize the enormous power of the daily news- papers and take advantago of it more than they do. To compare the demand for glass eyes with that for flowers in the vi- cinity of Utica ought to make the florists ashamed of themselves. Ralph M. Ward. YEATS ON DESCRIPTIONS. In an article in The Review for De- cember 10 I notice a letter in regard to "Roses of the Future." This arti- cle will perhaps bring forth a great deal of intelligent talk on the rose and will perhaps do the trade in general some good, as it should. Mr. Betscher seems to leave it all to the rosarians to give us the new and perfect roses. The rosarians have given us some fine things in tk« line of new roses, we must admit, but how many of us who have been in the trade, say, Dbcbubb'b 17, 1014.' The Florists* Review 21 twenty-five years, have bought descrip- tionsf This seems to be the age of de- scriptions, especially in our line. We are perhapsi like a mother with her first-born bab^. "When we get a new vafiety, we think it the finest thing on earth and send it out to the trade with a glowing description be- fore it has been tried out to such an extent that we know it is a winner. I have no doubt that there have been a number of- extra good roses and other plants originated on small places that went by the board and never wer^ in- troduced to the trade, for want of giass area or perhaps lack of fundis." In regard to a rose withoui, thorns, that in my mind would be agsurd; a rose would lose half its beau& if de- prived of its thorns, as Mr. %etscher would have it. Let us get aJiFnear a perfect and profitable rose ST color, size, stem and production per pifant as possible, and let the thorns alone; that is my idea. I have been growing a rose for the last three seasons, a seedling. I have propagated it sparingly and this year I have 300 plants blooming. It is as near Mr. Betscher's description of a, good rose as can be, with the exception that it has thorns. In fragrance it is unlike any other rose, a real fruity fra- grance. In color it is a real red, so much so that when placed by a Rich- mond it has a tendency to make Rich- mond look like a dark pink rose. In blooming qualities it will rival the En- chantress carnation. I have never sold a rose from this variety, yet I have been offered as high as 50 cents for a single flower on a short stem when seen by my customers. I have christened this rose Mrs. Sarah Yeats, and intend to introduce it in 1916. ,J. E. Yeats. TELLOW LEAVES ON KIT.T.ARNEY. Please let me know what is the mat- ter with my Killarney roses. I mulched them with decayed horse manure and they seemed to bear a crop of yellow leaves inside of a week. I have been using a good deal of sulphur for the purpose of checking mildew. E. K. seen, also picking ofl:' all aflfected leaves and blowing air-slaked lime through the house to dry up the mois- ture in the air. This treatment will usually cure a dose of black spot in three to four weeks, but during this time the plants should never be al- lowed to suffer from dryness at the root, or they are liable to receive a bad check, which may do them as much harm as the black spot. W. J. K. At this time of the year, when the days are short and the majority of them cloudy, the lower leaves of all roses, especially Killarneys, ripen and turn yellow easily. A large amount of sulphur will hasten the trouble, but there is nothing that will cause it more quickly than a mulching of either sheep or horse manure. Both of these ma- nures are strong in ammonia, and, as it is not possible to give any great quantity of fresh air through ventila- tion, the air in the house becomes charged with ammonia thrown ofif by the manure and will cause a large quantity of the leaves to turn yellow. Therefore it is not advisable to mulch during this time with manure contain- ing a large percentage of ammonia. W. J. K. SULPHUR FOR MILDEW. What method is used for applying sulphur to steam pipes, for the check- ing of mildew on rosesl Or would the application of the powdered sulphur with a blower answer the same pur- pose? In either case, how often should the sulphur be applied? Is sulphur the best remedy for mildew, or is there a more effective one? S. J. J. & S. BLACK SPOT ON ROSES. What is the best remedy for black spot on roses? Please tell me if you know of anything I can do for them. R. G. S. About the only remedy for black spot on roses is to keep, if possible, all moisture off the foliage as long as there are traces of the disease to be So far as known, sulphur is still the moat effective preventive of mil- ilew. Sulphur can be applied with a blower, dusting it on the foliage, or it can be dissolved in water to a thin liquid and painted on the heating pipes. The former method is mostly used dur- ing the summer; the powder is ap- plied on clear days, while the foliage is dry, and the application should be repeated after the plants are syringed as long as there are signs of mildew. Some mix air-slaked lime with the sul- phur, whether used as a powder or as a liquid. When mixed with the powder and blown on the foliage, the lime takes up any moisture in the house; when painted on the heating pipes with the sulphur, the lime helps to hold the sulphur to the pipes, as it otherwise easily drops off, especially if painted on too thick. It is a good idea to keep a little sulphur painted on one pipe in each house at all times, as a preventive. W. J. K. POT PLANTS FOR EASTER. Will you kindly advise us how to cut back pot-grown Conrad F. Meyer and J. B. Clark roses for Easter forcing? Are they handled the same as hybrid perpetuals, or as climbers, and how much time should they be given? Ia & S. Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a variety ' of Rosa rugosa and will not do well treated like the hybrid perpetuals. It must be pruned lightly. While a splendid outdoor rose, I do not con- sider it a particularly desirable sort for forcing. J. B. Clark is a hybrid tea. All this section must be cut back much less severely than the hybrid perpetuals. Remove dead and weak wood, merely cutting back the strong shoots about one-fourth their length. If wanted for Easter, which comes April 4, start both these roses early in January in a cold house. As growth starts, give them 58 to 60 degrees at night. Run a trifle cooler as the buds show color. C. W. MOTT-LY MUSINGS. Jack frost was a welcome visitor to Norfolk, Va., when he cut down the outdoor mum crop, which was heavy. The blooms presented a sorry sight in the market the next morning. The trade is jubilant, for this makes the prospects good for holiday business. All are advertising extensively. Blick, of Norfolk, offers to escort those interested out to his greenhouses; .1. W. Felton has a most inviting and suggestive window; Grandy the Flo- rist is offering Saturday specials in dol- lar boxes, and each is aiming to stim- ulate trade. Norfolk seedsmen are well satisfied with the season's work. Geo. Tait & Sons, Norfolk, have just received a big. importation of spinach, one of their heaviest lines at this time. The low temperature has cut off the crop of peas and beans; ten baskets of peas formed the last shipment and they sold for $5 per basket. The snap bean yield has been ahead of previous years. The return for spring was 265,000 baskets; for fall, 150,000 baskets. The prices have kept up well. The Wil- liams Seed Co., Norfolk, is the latest addition to the ranks, catering es- pecially to the retail trade. They are handling bulbs of extra fine quality, in keeping with their other lines and their surroundings. F. L. Wertz, Roanoke, Va., has suc- ceeded to the business of Cannaday & Wertz and has opened a store down- town. The store is complete in every detail and he will undoubtedly benefit by the move. Mr. Wertz is well satis- fied with the outlook. .7. J. Fallon, of Lynchburg and Roa- noke, Va., is well prepared with a fine lot of stock for the holiday season. Corsage bouquets are being worn with considerably more green than usual. Howard Gardner, Greensboro, N. C, is a trinity, being a druggist, seeds- man and owner of the Summit Avenue Greenhouses, an enthusiast in all. He is especially proud of his Timothy Eaton mums, some of which brought 50 cents apiece — strong evidence of skillful culture. 22 The Florists^ Review Decbmbjeb 17, 1914. A. W. Blehardson, Savannah, Las re- built his entire range and is producing a. fine supply for his retail trade. * Mills the Florist, Inc., Jacksonville, Fla., looks for a banner season, owing to the promised increase of tourists, who are already beginning to arriv'e. The E. A. Martin Seed Co., Jackson- ville, is issuing its seed catalogue for 1915, The company reports a steadily increasing business. Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Fla., expect the sale of the new Foster grapefruit will surpass anything they have sent out. One attraction is the delicate pink color of the flesh. The Buckeye Nurseries, Tampa, Fla., report a big call for citrus trees, show- ing the popularity of this fruit. Griffing Bros. Co., Jacksonville and Miami, Fla., is executing some large planting contracts. Stulbs Nursery, Augusta, Ga., is car- rying a local display advertisement on bulbs and finds it a profitable invest- ment. The Alexander Seed Co., Augusta, with an excellent record dating back to before the Civil war, became involved through unfortunate speculations in cotton seed. The company has cleaned the slate and, under the management of C. E. Brush, who was associated with H. G. Hastings & Co., of Atlanta, several years, assisted by F. S. Love, promises to place the business on its former footing. Two Holland bulb salesmen were here recently. One waited outside while the other made bis call. The waiter then had his in- nings and by his knocking prevented either from getting any business. Virginia holly is heavily berried and in perfect condition. Large shipments are noted passing out of the state. One of the finest window decorations ever noted by the writer was seen re- cently at the store of John Wana- maker, in Philadelphia. Large speci- mens of Aucuba Japonica, studded with tiny red electric lights amid the broad variegated foliage, presented a charming effect and attracted crowds. W. M. BRAMPTON, ONT. The Market. Business continues fair. "Nothing to grumble about" is the phrase that best sums up the situation. The florists doing the higher class of work will find a vast difference between this year's and last year's turn-over — due to no fault of their own, of course — but they take things philosophically. In the mining districts, strange to relate, the volume of trade is greater than at this time last year. Christmas prospects are encouraging, all things considered, and orders are coming in freely. Prices on all classes of stock are somewhat lower than those prevailing last year, and every induce- ment is being given, both by whole- salers and retailers, to facilitate busi- ness during the festive season. Visiting thd Growers. Saturday, December 5, was set apart by the Brampton growers for a visit to the various greenhouses at Bracondale and Richmond Hill. About twenty made up the party which left on the morning train, at 7:47, and called first «t Miller & Sons' establishment, at Bracondale, where they were conducted through the houses by E. Miller and A. Jordan. The carnation crop came in for special com- mendation. Richmond Hill was reached about 11^ 'clock and the visitors were shown over W. J. Lawrence's range. They also had an opportunity to admire the fine lot of roses being grown by George Mills in his houses. The new conservatories of J. H. Dun- lop were the next objective. Mr. Dunlop and his son escorted the growers through the entire establishment and every opportunity was afforded them to see the workings of the whole system, which seemed in excellent going order. The nbw varieties of roses attracted a good deal of attention ; the head grower, Mr. Hooley, had been rather fortunate with some of these. To the surprise and delight of the party, all the members were courteously invited by Mr. Dunlop to dinner at the local hotel. There, after an excellent meal and some fine speeches, a vote of thanks was proposed by Jack Miller, of the Dale Estate, on behalf of the grow- ers, and a most pleasant afternoon was thus brought to a close.. Supper and theater-going in Toronto filled in the evening's amusement. W. G. P. MILWAUKEE, WIS. The Market. Christmas is fast approaching and the trade in general is almost as anx- ious for the time to come as are the little folks, who are impatiently wait- ing for Santa Claus to appear. The season thus far has not been entirely satisfactory, and while there may not have been actual losses, the profits have been almost nil. Florists hope to make up the deficiency in sales, due to the general business depression, by a ban- ner Christmas trade. From the appear- ance of stock in general, both cut flow- ers and plants, expectations should be realized. A cold snap has put in an appearance and this adds greatly to chances of a fine Christmas business. Supplies are having a good sale, and ruscus, frieze, holly and wreaths of all kinds and descriptions are being dis- posed of readily. Advance orders on plants are pouring into the market, and besides the satisfaction of fine plant sales, this gives, undoubtedly, an indi- cation of what the magnitude of the cut flower sales will be. Carnations are in good supply, and prices have begun their advance for the holidays. The quality is fine and the crop will be exceptionally good. This is a distinct relief, after the ex- treme shortage of last year. Koses are somewhat shorter in quan- tity than they should be, but as the indications are that they will be more l)lentiful next week, it is to be assumed that there will be enough to go around. Wisconsin-grown violets are not nearly so plentiful as we should like to see them, and it is to be feared that the supply for Christmas will not nearly equal the demand. Valley has been in good supply and has been finding a ready market. Other stock is running well, and on the whole a fine Christmas business can be expected. Various Notes. The charity ball and the horse show, Milwaukee's two annual society events, have just taken place. The florists reaped their usual quota of orders. Saturday, December 32, was a gala day for the Racine Floral Co., Racine, Wis., which opened its new building to the public on that day. The building is three stories high and is modern in every respect. The location, at 219 Sixth street, is a good one, and on the opening day the store was thronged with visitors, who were entertained by some excellent harp music. H. J. S. At the monthly meeting of the Mil- waukee Florists ' Club, December 3, the following officers were elected: Presi- denrt, William C. Schroeder; vice-presi- dent, Henry W. Kummer; treasurer, James Livingstone; secretary, Eugene Oestreicier; trustee for three years, Richard .Leitz; trustee for two years, Arthur Leidiger. The club has sixty members. BOSTON. The Market. From December 7 to 10 the cut flower trade was dull. We had, at the same time, cold, dark weather, which materially restricted the output. De- cember 11 an improvement was notice- -able. This continued until December 14. There is no decided advance, but there is less of a glut, for which we are thankful. Carnations are doing much better and have advanced more in price than any other flowers. Select flowers now make $4 and $5. The qual- ity is splendid. Particularly fine are Matchless, Gorgeous, Champion, Pink Delight, White Wonder and Benora. Roses have not done so well as carna- tions, but are better than they were. The demand continues the best for such sorts as Ophelia, Russell, Hadley, Ward and Sunburst. Killarney and White Killarney drag more or less. Beauties sell a little better, but the usual holi- day advances are lacking. There are still plenty of chrysanthe- mums. Some really good Nonin, Maud Dean, Chadwick and Bonnaffon still ar- rive; also plenty of pompons and sin- gles. The latter now have a faded look, however. Violets, owing to the colder weather, are less abundant and sell a little higher. Sweet peas are good; some select flowers make $1, but more go at 50 cents. Bachelor's buttons and yellow marguerites are each a little slow; so are lilies, snapdragons and val- ley. Stevia is abundant; so are Paper Whites. A few yellow trumpet daffo- dils and tulips have arrived. These, as yet, are short-stemmed. Cattleya Trianse is now coming quite freely, in addition to C. Percivaliana. There is an abundance of cypripediums. Asparagus, as the holidays draw near, sells a little better. Christmas greens of all kinds are in active demand. They are generally of good quality. Trade in pot plants has braced up, but is not equal to that of former years. Cycla- mens, poinsettias, azaleas and begonias are the leaders. Club Meeting. There were 130 members at the meet- ing of the Florists' Club December 15, at which officers were elected as fol- lows: President, H. H. Bartsch; vice- president, James Methuen; treasurer, Peter Fisher; secretary, W. N. Craig; executive committee, W. J. Kennedy, P. M. Miller, W. J. Patterson, George M. Anderson, A. K. Rogers. Four new members were elected. A splendid stereoptJcon lecture on modern green- house construction was delivered by W. DecbmbBb 17, 1014. The Florists' Review 23 B. Cobb, sales manager for Lord & Burnhani Co. A fine collection of Christmas plants, including poinsettias, begonias, azaleas, etc.," was placed on the exhibition table by W. W. Edgar Co. S. J. Goddard brought some splendid carnations, in- cluding Gloriosa, Beacon, Champion, Yellowstone, Matchless, White Wonder, Pink Delight and Gorgeous. H. A, Stevens showed a white seedling carna- tion. Littlefield & Wyman staged blooms of a new pink seedling and M. A. Pat- ten & Co. showed two new light pink seedlings. F. W. Fletcher & Co. put up two snapdragons, Nelrose, pink, and Phelps, white. W. N. Craig also brought a white snapdragon. Various Notes. A meeting of growers, salesmen, re- tailers and .others identified with the cut flower industry was held at the American House December 12. The two wholesale flower markets called the meeting, which was well attended. The object was to discuss the best methods for relieving the congestion now ruling in cut flower circles. Many of those present expressed their views on the subject, but no definite conclusion was arrived at. An adjourned meeting will be held January 11, when the subject will be again taken up. President S. J. Goddard, of the American Carnation Society, will be glad to hear from all New England growers who are planning to attend the Buffalo convention, and will be most happy to give all possible information as to rates, hotels, etc. All should ap- ply early, so as to secure reservations. Orowers in this section are planning to send a good number of exhibits and ex- pect the best meeting ever. Wax Bros, have had a third tele- phone installed, to take care of their increasing trade. They are looking for- ward to good Christmas business. Peirce Bros., of Waltham, are well pleased with Prince d'Arenberg rose and are cutting a fine lot of it. The}' also have a good Christmas crop of Sunburst, Ward, Taft, Killarney Queen and Killarney Brilliant. The Hanover Greenhouses, of Han- over, Mass., specialize in carnations. They have a fine Christmas crop of Matchless, Fenn, Beacon, Pink Delight and White Enchantress, also bachelor's buttons. The Sutermeister Estate, of Read- ville, has a splendid lot of well fruited solanums for the holidays. They started cutting Trumpet major nar- K'issi this week and have plenty of freesias just opening. Zinn has moved from his former iftand on Park street to the store for- merly occupied by F. H. Houghton. He has a well appointed and attractive store now at 4 Park street. Sam Beck is handling pink and white asters in quantity from James Tulis, of South Sudbury. These are quite out of season, but do not sell well while mums are abundant and cheap. R. P. Peterson, of Saxonville, who handles a number of specialties well, started to cut myosotis as early as De- cember 1, and it is of good quality for this early date. I am pleased to report W. H. Elliott as improving nicely. He was able to leave the hospital this week and go to his Brighton home. From Madbury, N. H., Mr. Elliott now has, among other Hermaa H. Bartsch. (Prealdent-elect Boston Gardeners' and Florists' CInb.) roses, fine Cecile Brunner, Hadley, Miller, Ward, Sunburst, Killarney Queen and Killarney. H. M. Robinson & Co. report busi- ness as so good that all hands are kept at work until 11 p. m. each night. Thomas Capers has some well grown and flowered mignonette in pots. Among carnations I noted that he had Enchantress extra fine, also Pink De- light, Beacon, Benora and White Won- der. Penn is busy this week with pot plant trade. Among other varieties noted here were Buddleia Asiatioa, acacias and camellias. The windows here have a real Christmas appearance. John W. Foote has some nice, stocky and well bloomed Carnation Beacon in pots. There is surely a big field of pos- sibility here for plant growers. Even at our annual carnation shows few, if any, carnations are seen in pots. It is otherwise in Europe. I feel sure that nicely flowered carnations would sell well here. It is worth some grower's while to try it out. John A. Nelson, of Framingham, in addition to his always well grown car- nations, is now getting a superior cut of white snapdragons. Patrick Welch continues to improve at his Dorchester home, but is still kept away from business. David Welch re- ports business as good as could be ex- pected under existing conditions. J. Newman & Sons, on Tremont street, are well equipped for Christmas trade and orders with them are coming in satisfactorily. Paul Brigham, of the Westboro greenhouses, whose flowers are handled by Herbert T. Capers, is shipping in Carnation Eureka in quantity. He grows twelve other varieties, the best being Matchless, White Wonder, Mrs. Ward, Beacon, Fenn, Rosette and Benora. A. M. Davenport already has a fine lot of Proserpine and yellow tulips in bloom. He is getting well cleaned up on flowering plants. A large central mound of Adiantum Farleyense was a feature in one of Galvin's windows last week. Plants of Cypripedium insigne and large vases of Ophelia roses were also used advan- tageously. R. E. Wadsworth & Co. continue to send in fine mignonette. Among their best carnations are Pocahontas, Match- less, Philadelphia, Champion, White Wonder and Pink Delight. Thomas Roland is getting a good cut of roses now from his Revere plant. His recently completed house, 76x650, will be planted with tomatoes, for a first crop. The Houghton-Gorney Co., on Tre- mont street, reports business as quiet during the first half of last week.. They had one large Back Bay wedding order and now trade is much better. The West Street Greenhouses, of Reading, are cutting a fine crop of Spencer sweet peas in several colors. Their bachelor's buttons are also good. H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, has a splendid grade of mignonette at present. Among carnations he grows mostly White Enchantress, Fenn, Beacon, Pink Delight and Winsor. W. N. C. 24 The Florists' Review Dkcbubeb 17, 1914. NEW YORK. The Market. The week opens with lighter ship- ments, the storms are over, the sun is shining and the promise for Christmas is encouraging. The financial markets are in full swing again, and the flower- buying brokers are busy and jubilant. Debutante receptions have been numer- ous. There have been some notable wedding decorations also, and the out- look for the holidays is better than anticipated. The market suffered last week be- cause of almost continuous rain. It was not until Friday that any buoyancy was manifest. Saturday was also good, and the surplus was light as the week ended. However, Monday was clear and cold, and with diminished supplies, a steady level of prices is maintained. The quality of everything arriving is exceptionally good. It is believed generally that the volume of the holiday trade will be equal to that of other years, but the preparation for the demand shows an expectation of more economical selec- tion, and so the retail florists construct their combination Christmas boxes and baskets accordingly. American Beauty roses grow more perfect daily, and the demand increases with the cold. Hadley, Sunburst and Russell are great favorites, and Ophelia everybody takes to. Prices for the novelties are satisfactory. Longiflorum lilies developed greater strength last week and will doubtless continue strong until Christmas. The shipments are increasing. Chrysanthemums will last until 1915, but the "reserves" are few, and no one seems sorry to shelve the "autumn queen. A few of the best late ones bring about $2 a dozen. Valley is abundant and prices low. No signs of any shortage yet, and importations of pips are as large as usual. Orchids are not in oversupply and may now be had in variety. Cypripediums are here again also, and there is promise of C. Trianae and D. formosum for Christmas. Carnations are of splendid quality. Matchless especially so, but prices ruled low all the week and only began their advance on Saturday. Violets have ruled far below the Thanksgiving prices. They have now touched bottom. Quality could not be better. There is an abundance of all the other season- able flowers, sweet peas, mignonette, narcissi, hyacinths, bouvardia. daisies, lilac, etc. Of Christmas greens there is no end — holly, laurel, wild smilax, Christmas trees, wreathing, roping, etc. Club Meeting. There was an excellent attendance at the annual meeting of the New York Florists' Club December 14. The elec- tion of officers narrowed down to a contest for the presidency and three trustees. For president, Harry A. Bun- yard received eighty-five votes and I. S. Hendrickson forty-five. Mr. Hen- drickson moved to make it unanimous. Robert Koehne, one of the bright lights of the lower Kfth avenue retail section, was unanimously elected vice- president. John Young, without opposi- tion, was reelected secretary for the twenty-fifth time, and W. C. Rickards, Jr., was unanimously elected treasurer. The three candidates who received the Harry A. Bunyard. (President-elect, New York FlorUts' Club.) highest number of votes for trustee were W. R. Cobb, John H. Fiesser and Emil Schloss. The election was con- ducted by W. F. Sheridan, F. H. Traendly and Joseph Fenrich. Each of the new officers made a speech of thanks, appreciation and as- surance of unremitting effort during the coming year. Prof. E. A. White and Z. Tadema were elected to membership. Applica- tions were received from David 8. Ward, Joseph Leikens and H. Weiss. The purposes of the newly organized association of retailers were presented to the club and there was considerable discussion, principally by Messrs. Sheri- dan, Schling, Siebrecht and Young. A committee, consisting of W. H. Sie- brecht, Jr., John Young and Joseph Fenrich, was appointed to consider the proposal for a union of interests. J. A. Shaw, Robert Wilson and H. H. Jahn were appointed to prepare resolutions on the death of D. Y. Mollis. A trans- portation committee was appointed to arrange for a special car to the Buf- falo convention of the American Carna- tion Society. The F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, showed a splendid vase of the new rose, Francis Scott Key, and S. J. Reu- ter & Son, Westerly, R. I., showed a handsome lot of Prince E. C. d'Aren- berg. Both exhibits received the club's cultural certificate. Various Notes. The Associated Retail Florists, Inc., met at the Hotel Woodward Tuesday evening, December 8, and perfected its organization. M. A. Bowe was elected president, Max Schling and Charles Brown vice-presidents, G. E. M. Stumpp treasurer and W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., sec- retary. The society will include in its membership the leading retailers of the city. At the auctions of the MacNiff Hor- ticultural Co. there is a big demand for the White Baby, Tausendschon,. Cutbush, Teschendorff and Jessie ever- blooming rose bushes, now here, but grown for the German markets. Geo. C. Siebrecht will soon have from the Chappaqua greenhouses Acacia pubescens in quantity. At one of the debutante affairs in upper New York last week David Clarke's Sons, who had charge of the decorations, said over eighty floral gifts were sent by the young lady's friends. At the big store of G. E. M. Stumpp, on Fifth avenue, are innumerable Christmas novelties in seasonable im- portations. There are three floors in this establishment devoted to holiday display. .T. K. Allen will soon celebrate his thirtieth anniversary in the cut flower business. John Young is exceedingly busy with liis quartet of enterprises and quite optimistic as to the success of the flower show to be held here next March. All the florists' supply houses have had a wonderful season. Shipments have been enormous and still continue. Some firms complain they are sold out. Russin & Hanfling, the New York Florist Supply Co. and the Kervan Co. Iiave gaily decorated fronts, on Twenty- eighth street. The stork called at the residence of Robert Woodrow, foreman for Woodrow & Marketos, December 11, and left two fine boys. John Donate, formerly with W. S. Lee, now is in the employ of Woodrow & Marketos. C. C. Trepel will open a cut flower distributing adjunct to his big business S^^kBr •■'^^'^?T^.:'W*'/-- *Ti - V ^.- Dkocmbbb 17, 1914.

The executive meeting of the Amer- ican Rose Society, held December 14 at the office of Traendly & Schenck, was attended by W. R.' Pieraon, Robert Pyle, Harry O. May, Benjamin Ham- mond, F. R, Piersou, James Simpson, Samuel S. Pennock, Thomas Roland, L. J. Reuter and F. H. Traendly. Henry Siebrecht, Sr., of New Ko- chelle, started December 15 for San Francisco. Siebrecht & Son have a large contract with the state of California and have sent several carloads of nur- sery stock for the plantings. The Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, re- ports the business in Christmas plants as excellent, promising a complete clean-up. Victor Morgan, with Lord & Burnham Co., reports a contract for new glass from Conrad Stein, of Stamford, Conn. The Manda Florist Co. is the title of a new retail establishment at 191 Val- ley road, West Orange, N. J. The store is 20 X 50 and will have all modern conveniences, greenhouse facilities and expert management. W. E. Maynard has acquired thirteen acres near Great Neck, L. I., which will be utilized as a nursery. Mr. Maynard started December 15 for a business trip in the south. J. Austin Shaw." BALTIMORE, MD. The Market. We have had an entire week of cloudy weather; only on Saturday, December 12, did the sun find its way through the clouds for a few hours, and cut flowers have shown the effects in a shortening of the supply. During the early part of the week business was rather poor and stock accumulated, but the latter part of the week brought*"a much better demand. The wholesale houses were pretty well cleaned up at the close of business on Saturday, with the exception of some stock that was cut in the earlier part of the week. The chrysanthemums are about over, except that a few growers are holding a few for Christmas. There was a pretty good demand for roses and light colored carnations, with the supply short toward the end of the week. Valley and Beauties were the slowest movers of the week. There was a fairly good demand for lilies and greens. There is a good Christmas crop in sight, in all varieties of cut flowers and potted plants, with the possible excep- tion of good pans of poinsettias, which are rather scarce. The first snow of this season reached here December 13. Club Meeting. The regular meeting of the Florists ' Club was held December 14, President .Johnston in the chair. The night was extremely cold, which no doubt kept down the attendance. A letter was .read from J. Otto Thilow, of Phila- delphia, saying business engagements would prevent him from lecturing be- fore the club in February. R. Vincent, .Jr., read an original poem on the work- men 's compensation act, which was well received. I. H. Moss gave his expe- rience in regard to the working of this act and apparently florists and nursery employees are exempt. At the second meeting in January R. Vincent, Jr., will deliver his Scotch lecture and it was decided to have the ladies with us on this occasion. Various Notes. W. C. Erdman has a fine lot of 4-inch Primula obconica for Christmas sales. The Pennock-Meehan Co. will put a new Ford delivery car into service next week. L. H. A. Klein, of Towson, is still cutting Frick and Nonin mums. J. J. Perry spent the early part of last week in Virginia. His trip took him through Portsmouth, Richmond, Norfolk and vicinity. J. P. Wilheim is sending to the Balti- more Cut Flower Co. a fine lot of azaleas, which are selling well. A. Spath, Jr., & Son., of Roland Park, have some fine poinsettias for Christmas cutting, with some bractf measuring fifteen to eighteen inches across. The creditors of Forthuber Bros, have been advised by the referee in the bankruptcy proceedings that theii claims will not be settled, for after the expenses were deducted there was nothing left for the creditors. The business will be continued by them at their old stand. H. C. Vansant, of Norfolk, Va.; Roman J. Irwin, of New York, and T. .T. Meehan, of Philadelphia, were among the visitors of the week. The American Flower Shop, on Lib- erty street, near Lexington, opened for business December 14, with Wm. E. Sei- dewitz as manager. As a result of being struck by an inspector of street paving December 10, J. J. Perry is confined in the Frank- lin Square hospital in a serious condi- tion. From the facts learned, Mr. Per- ry attempted to run his auto down Cen- ter street, which had been newly paved, but the "Street Closed" sign was not up. When stopped by the paver a wordy altercation ensued and the paver struck him in the mouth. No serious effect followed, other than a copious flow of blood from his nostrils, but Saturday night he was taken with a serious hemorrhage from his head and only by great effort on the part of the attending physicians was his life saved. Harry Ekas is cutting some fine Golden Chadwick and Helen Frick mums. J. G. Harrison, founder of the nursery firm of J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., died December 12. Further particulars will be found in this week's obituary column. W. F. E. PITTSBUEOH. The Market. Pittsburgh is now under a beautiful carpet of snow, which fell last night. Today, December 14, the weather is clear and cold. Last week's trade showed an improvement over any pre- ceding week this season and the in- dications now point toward a much better Christmas business than had been hoped for. There has been plenty of good stock, but it seems to have de- creased somewhat today, perhaps partly on account of the change in the weather. The prospects are for a fine cut of stock for Christmas. There are plenty of roses, and carnations were never before so good or so plentiful. There is also a good crop of cattleyas. In fact, it is likely that stock will be FT* J'T' ~^~ "^ ~ '•kJ'tT *TTv*f, 7w--v^-*;"(^T«.^^;^'','^^r,^'W(" 26 The Florists^ Review DecembKb 17, 1014. tiold at lower prices than usual, unless all signs fail. This does not seem to be a year for fancy prices; the people will buy only if the prices are right and it is to be hoped they can be kept right. The retail stores look all Christmas- like, with wreaths of boxwood, ruscus, fltatice, magnolia, thistles and all kinds of combinations. Plants are being pushed hard. In fact, we hear the old cry, ' ' We are going to sell plants and cut out the cut flowers," but after •Christmas, no doubt, we shall find that the same fellows have sold as many cut flowers as ever. There were several good funeral days last week and there were two or three social affairs that helped create a demand for flowers. The trade in greens, pine, laurel and holly, is almost out of the hands of the regular florists. Even wild smilax is gone until after Christmas, as a few dealers who just handle this stock for about ten days have such quantities and have cut the prices to such an ex- tent that the regular florists will not touch the stock. It is reported that there are seventy carloads of Christmas trees here now, with such quantities of other greens that it is doubtful whether the shippers will get worth-while re- turns. Various Notes. Billy Lowe, the green goods man, is back in the business. He is furnishing the trees for the public Christmas cele- bration. His largest tree is forty-two feet high, but it will be made up to seventy-five feet when set up. Mrs. V. Bergman and her son, of Chicago, are here to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus. Ludwig. She will remain until after the holidays. F. W. Eomer, representing the Briar- clifif Greenhouses, Scarboro, N. Y., was in town December 12, calling on the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., their repre- sentatives, and assuring them of all the choice Beauties they will need. Other visitors were: J. H. Tasker, of the Walton Floral Co., Rice's Landing, Pa.; J. S. Hennon, of New Castle, Pa.; M. E. Ready, of Donora, Pa., and Miss Weber, of Fairmont, W. Va. Clarke. WASHINGTON, D. 0. The Market. There has been little change in busi- ness during the last week or ten days, during which time the skies have been overcast and rain has fallen nearly every day. Pink roses are off color. Sweet peas are quite scarce, and on several occasions during the week it was impossible to obtain chrysanthe- mums. Carnations have taken a slight drop. Violets are more plentiful, and the singles, bringing about 75 cents per hundred, have long stems and large flowers. These are in better demand than the Rhinebecks, for which $1 and $1.25 per hundred is being asked. The mignonette to be had is exceptionally good, with long, full spikes. The price of valley has fallen somewhat. A few poinsettias are coming in and the first of these brought $4 per dozen. There has been a marked decline both in the price and demand for narcissi. Gar- denias are poorer in quality on account of the weather. Various Notes. There are far more debutante bou- <]uets being sold this year than ever before, according to John Henry Small, of J. H. Small & Sons. However, there is evidence that the outlay in each in- stance was small, that the purchasers were curtailing expenses and had paid, in a majority of instances, from $1.50 to $3 only. Among the visitors of the last week were: Charles E. Meehan, of S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; C. Albert Small, of J. H. Small & Sons, New York; Edward Reid, Philadelphia, Pa.; J. W. Grandy, Norfolk, Va.; R. J. Irwin, New York; J. W. Gregg, of Vir- ginia Nursery Co., Purcellville, Va.; E. H. Flood, Atco, N. J., and William P. Craig, of the Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, Pa. J. M. Rankin, of the Department of Agriculture's plant introductions field station has left this city for Florida, North and South Carolina, and Georgia, where he will confer with commercial nurserymen as to the propagation, culti- vation and handling of nursery stock for commerce. But few orders were placed with local florists for the funeral of the late Sereno E. Payne, member of Con- gress from New York, which took place from the House of Representatives Sun- day, December 13. A number of orders were, however, telegraphed to Auburn, N. Y., to which place the body was sent for burial. J. H. Small & Sons furnished three pieces. C. L. L. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. The week ended with a heavy snow, but there has been no cold weather and the snow promises to be gone by night. There is not so heavy a supply of flowers as there was last week. Busi- ness has been generally pretty good. Some even say they are doing as much business now as they were a year ago. All agree that trade is improving from week to week. The windows are full of poinsettias that came into bloom a little sooner than was desirable, and they are selling well. Peppers have been offered for almost a month and have been pretty well sold out. They are not selling so well as they were a fortnight ago. Holly is on the streets in plenty and of excellent quality. Mistletoe has not appeared as yet. Good azaleas are appearing in small numbers, and are selling pretty well. Other holiday plants have not appeared as yet. In cut flowers, roses and carnations are by far the most abundant and both are of good quality. Carnations whole- sale at about 3 cents and roses from 4 to 10 cents, with Beauties too scarce to be wholesaled, though there is a fair supply for local use. Violets are not yet plentiful and peas are almost a negligible quantity. It is stated that there are more people out of work in the city than for years and this is sure to have its effect on the Christmas business. The large dealers in holiday goods agree that business is light for the season. Some comfort may be got from the fact, how- ever, that such firms had a light busi- ness a year ago, while the florists did the best business ever done for the holidays. Various Notes. McTntyre Bros, have some of the best Hillingdon roses I have seen for some time. They are the only growers who have this varietv this season in any quantities, and they have succeedied in getting strong stems, the one thihg that this rose has always lacked here. Their carnations are the largest I have seen this season. Geny Bros, are selling some fancy cyclamens, fringed and picotee varie- ties, that are fine. They are the first I have seen offered in this city. The Joys have put a new delivery car and a motorcycle delivery in com- mission this week. The motorcycle de- livery appears to us to be a mighty convenient thing for small deliveries. The bed will hold several large boxes, too. Haury & Sons have a good line of Christmas plants and wreaths on sale. Their windows make a good showing. Frank Cornell hopes to have some Dutch hyacinths ready for the Christ- mas sales. ' F. B. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. Christmas wreathing, ruscus, heather, etc., are decorating all the flower shops and the retail florists report that the demand is excellent. Yards of red and green roping are displayed, and com- bination baskets and wreaths are al- ready made up to attract the pur- chaser's eye and loosen his purse- strings. The supply of roses is limited, al- though there is some fine long-stemmed stock on the market, which brings good returns. Carnations are still weak- stemmed, owing to atmospheric con- ditions, but are not so scarce as they were a week ago. A large crop is ex- pected for the holiday trade. Violets arc unusually scarce for this season of the year, and those available find a ready market. Sweet peas are good, and the demand is fair. For- mosa lilies are in good supply. The demand recently, outside of the Christ- mas trade, has been principally for funeral work. Some excellent cases of boxwood have been received, and holly is expected to arrive soon. Various Notes. A. J. Lanternier & Co. keep their delivery automobile busy these days. Some fine poinsettias vie with the other Christmas decorations in the win- dows of the Bradley Flower Shop. Herbert Zur Muhlen had an effect- ive table decoration at the English tea- room last week, which was carried out in a combination of heather and pink roses. R. F. Howell, Mich. — Walter Hubel, who for a year had charge of the Howell Greenhouses, has bought a greenhouse at Williamston, which is being torn down and moved to Howell. He will grow vegetables for shipping. Columbus, O. — Thomas J. Ludwig, for many years with the Livingston Seed Co., will start in business for himself after the first of the new year. He has leased quarters in the new White- Haines building, 82 North High street. Miles City, Mont.— The Flower Store has been moved from 617 Main street to the corner store in the Arnold build- ing, at Eighth and Main streets. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory have purchased the stock of goods from Arnold's and will conduct the business in connection with their flower business.

Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., died at his home in Berlin, December 12, from the effects of a paralytic stroke received December 9. He was 74 years of age and had ap- parently been in good health up to the time of the stroke. He was born in Sussex county, Delaware, in 1840, and lived there until 1883, when he removed to the south and engaged in the lumber business for a short time. In 1884 he settled in Berlin and started in the nursery and fruit business on a small scale. By persistent endeavor he de- veloped the business to its present (axge proportions. A few years ago he gave up active work and turned over the management of his nursery to his sons. State Senator Orlando Harrison, the elder son, became manager, assisted by G. A. Harrison. The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth r. Harrison, and four children, the two sons mentioned and two daughters. W. F. E. John J. Connelly. John J. Connelly, for many years in the florists' business at Rosemont, Pa., ■died Friday, December 4, at his home in Rosemont. He was born in Phila- delphia, in 1851, and removed to Con- shohocken in his early youth. He was widely known in political circles, hav- ing been active in Democratic politics for years. He was postmaster of Bryn Mawr in the second Cleveland adminis- tration. For twenty-five years he was treasurer of St. Thomas, of Villanova, T. A. B. Society. It was in 1886 that- Mr. Connelly removed to Rosemont from Bryn Mawr and resumed the florists' business there. He was one of the first to grow carna- tions in his section, starting with Heinz 's White and Lamborn and tak- ing up the new ones, one by one, as they came out. For many years he was a member of the S. A. F. Burial took place December 7, services being held at his home and mass cele- brated at St. Thomas' church, Vil- lanova, His wife, who before her mar- riage was Miss Mary Hurley, survives him. The business will be continued by Mrs. Connelly and her sons and daughters. J. W. Alexander. Sitting in an easy chair in his bed-" room, December 11, J. W. Alexander, of Charleston, W. Va., sent a bullet •crashing through his brain. Worry over financial reverses is thought to have unbalanced his mind and prompted the rash act. Mr. Alexander leaves, besides his widow, two daughters, Mary Alexander and Mrs. Raymond Dunn, of Stone, Ky., and two sons, William and Archie. Mrs. Alexander has been for many years her husband's chief assistant in the florists' business and was in the oflice at the time of the tragedy. She will carry on the establishment as here- tofore. John Sterllne. John Sterline, of Columbia, Pa., died December 6, in his eighty-second year. For more than fifty years he grew flowers and vegetables for the local markets. For many years ho grew the Marie Louise violet with much success. The deceased was a charter member of the First English Lutheran church, of Columbia, and for over half a century continuously was a member of its church council, having been reelected to eldership at the beginning of the present year. He is survived by nine children. The funeral was held from the residence December 9, with services by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Edgar Grim Miller. Interment was made in Laurel Hill cemetery. H. K. R. Mark T. Thompson. Mark T. Thompson, of Richmond, Va., died December 7, from a sudden attack of heart disease. Mr. Thompson had been a resident of Richmond for twenty-six years, hav- ing come from Cleveland, where for a long time he was engaged in business. He was a native of England, -born at Bedford sixty-six years ago. For a long time Mr. Thompson was noted for his dahlia farm, one of the sights around Richmond, having acres of ground devoted to the cultivation of this flower. He is survived by his second wife and two children, Mrs. Clara E. War- ren, formerly of Ada, O., and Charles H. Thompson, of Richmond. He was a member of Tabernacle Baptist church and of Biglow Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, Cleveland. Nancy Randolph Gullett. Word has been received of the sud- den death, at an advanced age, of Nancy Randolph, who in 1861 married William Henry Gullett, who was in the nursery and greenhouse business at Lincoln, 111., from Civil war limes until his death in 1909. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Gullett. Three of these died in infancy, but the rest of the family survives and three of them reside in Lincoln, namely: Charles Ed- ward and Wilbur J., who now comprise the firm of W. H. Gullett & Sons; and Frank E. Gullett. The others are W. F. Gullett, of Deer Lodge, Mont.; Eu- gene R. Gullett, Lansing, Mich.; and Misses Anna Gullett, of Pontiac, and Ida B. Gullett, of Columbus, O. Mews from roa Duflfel, Belgiiim. — Ten greenhouses were destroyed at the Vanderlinden establishment, where the forcing of chrysanthemums, roses, strawberries and tomatoes was a specialty. Contich, Belgium. — The greenhouses of the well known firm of Frantz De Laet, renowned for its large collection of cacti, were not touched by the shells, but raids resulting in considerable losses have been made on the plants. Puers, Belgium. — In the bombard- ment of Antwerp, which is not far from this place, part of the eleven greenhouses and 15,000 of the 20,000 coldframes at the De Bondt establish- ment were destroyed. The Meersman establishment, also, was greatly dam- aged. Mechlin, Belgium. — At the Botanical Garden plants have been replaced in the greenhouses, but on account of the lack of glass, the roofs have not been repaired. Moreover, it is impossible to obtain coal to heat the establishment. In the vegetable experiment garden of the Belgian horticultural department a shell fell, shattering the greenhouses. Haarlem, Holland. — The florists of the continent have been complaining for some time^at the Holland bulb grow- ers have been putting on the market the blooms cut from their fields, in com- petition with those who buy their bulbs. Several large firms of Haarlem, Lisse, etc., have already refused to engage in such trade. Now an agreement is be- ing signed by the bulb growers, who pledge themselves not to put on sale after March 1, in the years 1915 and 1916, hyacinths cut in their bulb fields. A long list of those who have signed the agreement has already been pub- lished. The promoters of the movement purpose to publish likewise a list of those who refuse to make this pledge. DufTel, Belgimn. — The Verhacgen greenhouses are entirely destroyed, and the thousands of -strawberry plants in- tended for forcing next season are worthless. London, England. — The seventeenth exhibition of the Perpetual-flowering Carnation Society was held quite suc- cessfully December 2, in the Royal Hor- ticultural Society's hall. The profits of the show will be handed to the Belgian Relief Fund. Ghent, Belgium. — Winter conditions prevail throughout the district, bringing growers who have glass face to face with a serious new condition, the diffi- culty of obtaining fuel. While the Ger- mans, who hold practically all Belgium, have spared the trade interests, there is no transportation and fuel is obtained only with the utmost difficulty. The committee of the growers' association is doing all in its power to meet the most urgent needs, but the plight of the district is serious. Ypres, Belgixmi. — One of the leading figures in the trade in this section, where some of the fiercest fighting of the war has been done, is M. V. Bouck- nooghe, managing director of the Societe Horticole. In a letter he says: "Novem- ber 13 I had thirty shells in the houses and twenty in the nursery. The first time a shell went into a greenhouse we took to the cellar and stayed there all night. Later we were sent away and I have not since been permitted to visit the houses. I am in hope I shall be able to save my aspidistras, but I have no coal, and if frost sets in, all my stock is done for. The vineries are all shelled, and four out of six traveling houses for carnations are blown to pieces. We are all right, but bread is becoming scarce, butter dear, milk rare, and a cigar costs a franc." 28 The Florists^ Review Decbmbeb 17. 1014. ft Kstabllehed, 1897. by G. L. aRANT.

We both have them. Cyclamens have enjoyed an unusu- ally good wholesale demand this Christ- mas, and small azaleas also have sold out quickly. Now comes the week that Carnation Champion demonstrates the appropriate- ness of its name. It is well liked by practically all who are growing it. Kbcoeds of the Federal Horticultural Board show that the trade in the United States now uses almost exactly twice as many English as French Manetti stocks. If the retailers are working half as hard to interest the public as the live wholesalers are to interest the trade, the Christmas business surely will be a rec- ord-breaker. The wave of zero weather that rolled across the middle west at the opening of the week caught a lot of expensive stock in transit. When the temperature falls suddenly there always are a lot of losses. Department store managers say their sales this month have been of moderate- priced articles. It confirms the belief that a lot of people who some years spend big money for Christmas will this year use flowers. One of the small compensations for the trouble the war has made us is found in the fact that practically all imported stock is of better than average quality this season. Apparently so many orders have been shut off that the Europeans need send out nothing but their best this year. HONORABLE MENTION. Not a few subscribers save them- selves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or some- times $5, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-two visits of the paper. Among those who have this week en- rolled themselves for more than one year in advance are: THREE YEARS. Hamilton & Plummer, Kewanee, 111. TWO YEARS. Mcrshall, A. L.. Port Chester, N. Y.

The green notice with the last copy tells the story; no bills are run up; no duns sent. A BIG STEP AHEAD. The flower business and the stock ex- changes are more closely related than the average person might suppose. The prospefity of the exchanges is a big factor in the business of a great many florists, especially in the east. Conse- quently the resumption of business on the New York Stock Exchange, with prices on the rise, is a long step ahead for the florists, probably the longest step thus far made toward the reestab- lishment of normal conditions. It is not to be expected that the flo- rists' business will be entirejy normal so long as the war in Europe lasts, and perhaps it will not be normal for a long time afterward, but every day sees a betterment. OVER THE WIBES. So many florists use the wires in their everyday doings that a report on business conditions by Newcomb Carl- ton, president of the Western Union, will be of special interest in this trade. Mr. Carlton has just made a 9,000-mile trip over the country. He was strongly impressed with the great re- covery in business and financial con- ditions which he found. He particu- larly emphasized the statement that he found the west is splendidly recover- ing from its business depression. "A general return of optimism is observable throughout the country," said Mr. Carlton. "The telegraph business is, we find, barometric. A return to big business with us means a return to big business in every line. People don't send telegrams merely as an indoor sport, and we find that when our statistics show a big volume of messages sent over the wires it is in- dicative of a returned prosperity. "In examining last year's reports and comparing with those thus far this year we find that the business done in 1914 is equal for the last five weeks to that of 1913, thus showing the re- turn of general confidence and op- timism. "I have talked with hundreds of business men during my western trip, and the general impression to be gleaned from the whole trip is one of fast returning prosperity. Even the cotton growers in Texas, who a few months ago faced an unprecedented crisis because of the loss of their for- eign markets, seem to be recovering in a remarkable manner." TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Norfolk, Va. — Sol, Shaikewitz^ trad- ing as the Virginia Floral & Nursery Co., at 62 Botecourt street, filed a deed December 3 assigning to Fred C. Abbott, trustee, his\tocK and fixtures, for the benefit of creditors. Dasrton, O. — Referee McConnaughey has filed in the United States District court at Cincinnati his final record in the bankruptcy case of Herman Bitter. The liabilities amounted to $27,228.96. Assets realized were $22,262.50. Secured creditors received $18,393.50, payment in full of their claims. Unsecured cred- itors received $953 on claims aggregat- ing nearly $9,000. Houston, Tex. — Judge Woods, of the Eleventh District court, denied a mo- tion to terminate the receivership of the Alvin-Japanese Nursery Co., December 0, made by the Hart-Parr Co., one of the creditors having a judgment. The Hart- Parr Co. claimed that the appointing of S. B. Brown as receiver by Judge Hamblen September 10 was unneces- sary. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. Work of the Committees. The examining committees have re- turned reports on new varieties as follows: At Chicago, November 14, Miss Pauline Ander- son, pure yellow, sport from Yellow Chadwlck, Japanese Incurved, exhibited by Poehlmann Bros.

The Market. The reports this week are not unani- mous; in some quarters the market is reported nearly normal, but others say sales still are considerably below the corresponding days of last year. Zero weather arrived December 13 and ha» ' had its usual effect. There has been more or less loss of stock, caught by frost, and there has been some reduc- tion in receipts. It seems possible, how- ever, that the reduced supply is due more to the effort of the growers to prepare for Christmas than it is to weather conditions. While the cold wave is unusually severe for this sea- son, it has been accompanied by bright skies, which has been a great help to the growers. It put the color back into Killarney; there has been a distinct improvement. There is an adequate supply of stock for~ all the business that is moving. Shipping trade is fair, but local busi- ness is not especially brisk. The de- mand is principally for the novelty roses. Buyers are in search of Russell, Ophelia, Hadley, Shawyer, Milady, Bui- r I^<^iin|B J7,: 19Mi Ti« Rorists' Review 29 HAVE PlINTY ol STOCK; WOULD LIKE your ORDER mJA lOUR interest comes first-but WE can serve YOU^ interest at least as well as anyone.

It is worth noting that Killarney Brilliant is giving a better account of itself and is rising in growers' estimation. Russell is be- ing watched with interest, as some growers are cutting few perfect flow- ers. There is an abundance of carnations, Paper Whites, violets, Easter lilies, val- ley and stevia. Sweet peas continue none too plentiful and none too good. The principal interest in the market today is the prospect for Christmas. Now and then one meets a grower who says he .will be cutting little, but the majority are in as good shape as ever before and the prospect is that the mar- ket will be well supplied next week with stock of excellent Christmas qual- ity. It appears that some of the local Beauty growers are not in heavy crop and that a big crop in the east has encouraged" shippers there to arrange to send their Beauties to Chicago in con- siderable quantity next week. From present appearances the supply of red roses will exceed anything in the pre- vious history of this market and prob- ably all the buyers who are willing to pay reasonable prices can be accommo- dated this year. There is no chance of there being enough of the novelty roses to go around, but the prospect is for adequate supplies of Killarney. The carnation supply will be radically dif- ferent from that of last Christmas. A year ago there was a pronounced short- age, but this year there will be a much larger supply. The quality, too, is un- usually good this season. There prob- VIOLETS For Christmas I offer fine, fresh, fragrant home-grown single Violets— none belter anywhere.

Buyers must be prepared for a large percentage of light colors. The only shortage in sight at present apparently will be of cattleyas; the cuts have decreased at an alarming rate in the last few days and the supply will not be anywhere near so large as an- ticipated. On the other hand, violets are coming in stronger every day and the quality also is getting better. At the moment, holly is worth what one can get for it. The market seldom has been so badly demoralized. Some holly is not bringing the freight and still fetches all it is worth. Fortunately red winter berries never were more ( plentiful or finer. Good lycopodium has cleaned up nicely. Club Affairs. The Florists' Club held its annua) meeting at the Bismarck December 10. The election of W. J. Keimel as presi- dent, James Morton as vice-president^ Paul Klingsporn as treasurer and C. L. Washburn as a trustee was unanimous^ the only contest being over the secre- taryship.

Fred Karnatz, for three years em- ployed as a driver by Poehlmann Bros. Co., was killed on the tracks of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail- road three-quarters of a mile north of the Morton Grove station early in the morning of December 12. He lived at Glenview, the second station up the line, and was walking to work down the track when hit by a train. He was 42 years of age and left a widow and two children. A woman walking on the tracks of the St. Paul railroad near Edgebrook was struck by a passenger train and instantly killed. The body was car- ried into the Wittbold greenhouses, where she was identified as the mother of William Shutte, foreman of the plant section. Various Notes. The many Chicago friends of Paul M. Palez, of Little Rock, will learn with pleasure of his success at the recent democratic primary, when he was nominated for reelection as alder- man for the Third ward. Out at Mt. Prospect, near Arlington Heights, Homeyer & Haberkamp have two houses of Enchantress and White Enchantress that are giving fine blooms on unusually strong stems. Mr. Homeyer says the quality is the result of running the houses at 50 degrees at night and 60 degrees on dark days; also, he says, when the zero weather comes the plants are not checked like those grown warmer. Bonfire is grown for a Christmas red. This is Peter Eeinberg's busy Christ- mas.

August Poehlmann says orders are on file for 165,000 grafted plants of Mrs. Russell rose, with 525,000 Manetti stocks in or on the way. It is reported the company is in the market for twelve cars of pecky cypress for spring use, Mr. Poehlmann believing prices are going up with the good times he sees coming. He recently has registered two sports of Chadwick, the yellow as Pauline Anderson, after the daughter of C. G.

Cerise Winsor, recently registered with the American Carnation Society. It is a glorified Winsor, cerise pink in color, a sport of the variety from which it takes its name. Matt Mann is trying 1,000 plants of the Godfrey calla this season, stock obtained from F. F. Scheel, of Sher- merville. John P. Degnau, of Wintersou's Seed Store, deserves to be classed as one of the veterans, although only 41 years of age. He has been in the trade con- tinuously for thirty-one years, his first job having been obtained from S. F. Leonard, as a boy only 10 years old. Emil Kroll has four houses of Rich- mond that are in about as full crop as one could ask for Christmas. In spite of the zero weather, John Zech spent the first two days of this week visiting growers for Zech & Mann, and some of their neighbors. He says the quality of Chicago's Christmas stock will be unusually good this year. Commenting on the unusual character of the chrysanthemum season, O. A. Tonner reports one grower still cutting Bonnaffon December 12. Garza seems to be finishing this week. George Asmus and wife entertained a number of friends at their home on Bowfen avenue on the evening of De- cember 12. Among those of the trade who were present were E. F. Winterson and wife, C. W. McKellar and wife and C. C. PoUworth and wife, the latter couple coming from Milwaukee to at- tend. O. Johnson says that while the Ba- tavia Greenhouse Co. grows mums only in a small way, its season with them has this year been the longest of any grower in the market. The concern was among the first to cut and is holding a few late whites for Christmas.

The weather lias played on important part in the cut flower market during the week ending December 16. The ice storm of December 8 broke down telephone and telegraph poles and wires all the way to Scranton, cutting con- nections that are only gradually coming into play again. This absence of com- munication caused heavy loss, prevent- ing some orders- coming into town and ilelaying others until too late for ex- ecution. The long absence of the sun took the color out of Killarney and made all flowers more or less soft, to say nothing of decreasing their number. The storm also interfered with shop- ping, cutting down the demand. The supply of flowers is quite suf- ficient. There is no item on the list that may be termed scarce, as practi- cally everything has been obtainable when wanted. Orchids have advanced in price. Carnations are firmer. Beau- ties have been selling better, although it took easier prices to secure this re- sult. Short roses are more popular than the long-stemmed stock. ' Poinset- tias have arrived.

The Box and the Bagging Needle. Nearly every shipper of cut flowers .has, at some time or other, experienced a painful, moment when his flowers, that had taken months of care to pro- duce, were ruthlessly bruised or even smashed in transit. These instances have always cost the growers heavily. Sometimes they recovered damages, but aot always; when they did, it usually oost a lot •f time, energy and some cash to do it. It always seemed as though these accidents came at the most inopportune time, hitting flowiiers which were most expensive and which could not be replaced. The safety of all such shipments lies in the corrugated box and the bagging needle. Everybody knows, and nearly everybody uses, the corrugated box. Not everybody knows, and few use, the bagging needle. It was discovered in this way: A grower who had suf- fered some painful moments when hear- ing of things that happened to his flowers and how they looked when un- packed, resorted to tying them in the boxes. It was a slow process to cut a hole in each side with your knife and then poke the string through both holes and tie it. The grower appealed to his wife for some quicker means of tying the flowers in. She produced a bagging needle. Now he runs the string through both sides of the box in a jiffy and ties it in less tima than it takes to say Jack Robinson. Best of all, the flow- ers get there safely. A Calendar and a Pen Picture. I dropped in at Edward Beid's late one afternoon this week and was treated to a sort of rehearsal produc- tion of a little treat that he has in store for his friends.

Leo Niessen believes the carnation growers have been able to produce a much larger number of flowers per plant up to date this season than they did last fall, offsetting to some extent the lower prices. The Germantown Horticultural Soci- ety was addressed by Secretary Redles on "The Wardian Case" and by Mrs. Do you know Armadillo Baskets?

In cut flowers, carnations will have the best call. The supply of these will be good. The dark weather did not seem to aflfect the carnations as it did the roses. These are oflf crop and the new growth coming on is soft.

Various Notes. A visit to the greenhouses of the Wm. Blackman Floral Co. found a largo stock of plants of all kinds ready for Ohristnias. Bulbous stock in all stages of growth, azaleas, cinerarias, primulas, both obconica and Chinensis, were found here. A large batch of poin- settias are fine. There is a good sup- l»ly of greens. The roses "have been .(ffected by the cloudy weather, but tliey .will be in pretty good condition for Christmas. The carnations are in grand shape and the cut will be good. The flowers are perfect and have good, strong stems. There are more of En- chantress than of any other variety. However, White Wonder, Herald and (Uoriosa are also good. Beacon is in tine shape for Christmas. .lulius Niednagel & Sons are making jireparations for a good Christmas trade. They have a large supply of plants, including poinsettias, berried plants, begonias, ferns, Christmas Gem coleus and bulbous stock. The carnations liere will be in good crop and the qual- ity is excellent. The roses will be in fair supply. Killarneys will be off crop, l.ut Richmond and. Ward will hit it much better.

Carnations are less abundant than they were. This is not only caused by •lark weather, but the growers are holding back for the holiday trade, put- ting on the market only what cannot be held much longer and rushing quan- tities of narcissi and other bulb stock to keep the gap filled up. For this reason bulb stock is more in demand, as it is fresh and good. Carnations are improving a great ^eal in Jength of stem and size of flower, but ' they are a little soft on account of the dark weather. Beauties are having a heavy run and prices have stiffened.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting Thursday af- ternoon, December 10, in Odd Fellows' hall. The meeting was by far the tnost interesting of the year and the attend- ance was large. President Bourdet had charge and all the other officers were present. All committees were called upon for final reports. The report of the spring flower show committee caused an interesting discussion, which took up the greater part of the after- noon. The discussion showed that the plans of the committee were favored by the majority of those present. Frank Robinson, manager of the Coliseum, was present and gave a talk on flower shows. He said he would assist the^'cortt- mittee in any plan they might under- take. At the close of the discussion Chairman Smith asked for one more month's time before a vote be taken by the members, and the request was granted. The trustees also gave a lengthy re- port on an entertainment and dance for the members, their families and friends. In this, report the chairman, W. A. Rowe, stated that they had ar- ranged to have Westminster hall .lan- uary 27 for this event and that the tickets would be 50 cents a person.

OHIO Aussion. On a final vote it was de- cided to accept the report and the trus- tees were requested to go ahead with their arrangements. Max Schiller, who has charge of the big conservatories at the Missouri Bo- tanical Garden, was elected to member- ship. Messrs. Ohlweiler and Wells pre- sented the application of Julius Erd- mann for membership. All delinquent members were given one month more of time and committees were appointed to see them. W. S. Wells started a discussion on the advisability of forming an employ- ment bureau. This seemed to gain many friends from the start and most of the talks were in favor of such a movement. It was decided that five members, one from each wholesale house, would form a committee to work with the secretary of the club, report- ing to him anyone applying for em- ployment. Also, those seeking em- ployees are to make their wishes known to the committee, who will have a list of names from which to select. H. C. Irish spoke of the work of the state board of horticulture, of which he is a member, and referred especially to a proposed appropriation of money for work in horticulture. He asked the members whether they would work with him for an appropriation of $10,000 to be used for the next two years for floricultural work, including an annual flower show to be held in the state. The members readily agreed to assist Mr. Irish. The question box brought out a good discussion, which concluded the meet- ing. The next meeting will take place January 14, 1915. Various Notea Henry Niemeyer, of Kirkwood, suf- fered a paralytic stroke last week, ac- cording to the report of brother flo- rists. He is slowly recovering from the stroke. Marion Uhlschmidt, manager of the branch store of Grimm & Gorly, at East St. Louis, 111., says that since Thanksgiving they have had a good run of business.

The coming holiday trade among the retailers will be up for dis- cussion. The Lady Florists ' Home Circle spent a most pleasant afternoon at the home of Mrs. Geo. B. Windier. They voted to hold the New Year's meeting at the home of Mrs. Fred C. Weber, Wednes- day, January 13. William C. Young had the floor all to himself at last week's club meeting. His friends in debate during the meet- ings, J. F, Ammann and E. W. Guy, failed ta trttend, so he had to go it alone this time. A call on the St. Louis Seed Co. found all hands busy with local and shipping orders in lycopodium, holly, ruscus and red roping. Their advance orders Were heavy. Frank Fillmore reports that he will not grow any more carnations after this season. He at one time grew some of the best roses and carnations coming to this market, but the surroundings now are such that the growing of this stock for cutting is out of the question. The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. has made up a let' of crescent wreaths of Japanese red roping, which havft proved tp be great sellers in the local trade. ' , Frank Windier says thfft the call for red ruscus and red mats has so far greatly exceeded last year's demand. Ed. Denker, of St. Charles, Mo.; W. K Ogle and Gus.

For both local and ship- ping trade, velvet poinsettias, crepe paper and red roping are in large de- mand. The lack of sunshine for nearly two weeks is showing its effect on the cut stock o:^ the local growers, as practi- cally all the colored stock is off color, especially Killarney roses and sweet peas.

The location is in the center of the business part of the eity, and those who knew Mr. Woolsey when he was in Rockf ord expect he will make a success of his latest venture. LOS ANOELES. Tbe Market. The outlook for the Christmas busi- ness, according to some of the retail- ers, is not particularly good, but whole- salers report especially numerous in- quiries, and probably by the time the big day arrives there will be little to find fault with. Boses, with the ex- ception of Beauties, are good, but the latter are scarce and not first-rate in quality. Bed carnation^ are in big demand, and it looks as though there would be a shortage in the outdoor flowers, as the nights are lather cool now. Poinsettias are already selling well for parties and other entertain- ments. This fine Christmas flower seems to increase in popular favor an- nually. Orchids are less plentiful than a week ago, the growers possibly hold- ing back on them for the holidays. Valley is good and there is plenty of it, so that there will probably be a drop in price after the holidays. Plants will probably be plentiful. Locally grown cyclamens, Begonia Glory of Cin- cinnati and azaleas are in excellent shape, but the palm for cyclamens must be given this year to the San Fran- cisco growers. Theirs are remarkable specimens, huge in size and of a qual- ity that cannot be beaten. All classes of Christmas greens and reds are plen- tiful. Various Notes. Murata & Co. are receiving extra fine Richmond and American Beautv from the north. The Richmonds are of splen- did texture, heavy, finely colored flow- ers, better than are usually seen in thb market. Miss Hosp, of Riverside, was a vis- ARE YOU SATISFIED? Any florist on the Paeifie coast not satisfied to do a local retail business can build up a prosperous wholesale trade by using space in The Review to let the buyers know where stock is to be found. This way: We bave found advertising in Tlie Review to be very satisfactory. We have had orders from all parts of the United States, as well as from the Pa- cific coast, showing that your valned paper has a very wide circulation. At any time we have any special advertis- ing to do we certainly shall send it to The Review. — Hogan & Kooyman, Oakland, OaL iter last week, looking up stock for holiday trade. Smith & Dieterich's store is most attractive now with plants, Japanese lanterns — the granite kind, not the pa- per ones — and elegant cut flower stock. The recent opening of the Bosslyn hotel called for a lot of fine stock from here; also the opening of the Merchants' National bank, at Sixth and Spring streets. G. W. Smith is about to build himself a new home in the beautiful Westlake district. There will prob- ably be some fine landscaping there, for this will surely not be an analogous case to that of the pedal extremities of the shoemaker's wife, and the black- smith 's horse. Looking over the labels at the store of the Los Angeles Floral Co., I noted some boxes going to Salt Lake City. Upon my asking Fred Sperry how stock shipped to that point, he said, "Fine; it also ships there," handing me a label addressed to Wabash, Ind. After that I asked no more questions. The stock in question was the new pink carnation, Mrs, Welsh. Friends of J. McGilvray, superin- tendent of Eastlake park and treasurer of the Los Angeles County Horticul- tural Society, were shocked to hear December 10 of a serious accident that occurred at the park greenhouses, in which he sustained, it is feared, grave injuries from steam escaping from the boilers. He was taken at once to the county hospital. Telephone inquiries there elicited only the fact that he was seriously but not fatally burned or scalded and that a consultation of phy- sicians and oculists was to be held that evening. Mr. McGilvray is so uni- CMcB SBlecten ..._. $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen S. MURATA & CO WHOLESALE FLORISTS AND SUPPLIES LOS ANGELES, CAL. Meatloa Th« ItoTl^w whe» yaw wrlf.

The Fbrists' Review D£C£MBXB 17, liU.4, The roses are mostly of southern origin and are of good quality. Chrysanthe- mums are good, but the season for them is nearly over and they are not much sought for. Cyclamens and the Lor- raine and Cincinnati begonias are mov- ing slowly; the demand for them can hardly be extensive until Christmas. Some peppers and poinsettias are on display, but do not move fast. Ferns are plentiful, and greens are fully up to the demand. Various Notes. The Florists' Club decided, December 8, to ask the state legislature to have all the greenhouses in the state put under license, so that they would come under the supervision of the state horti- cultural inspector. A committee was appointed to ascertain what steps could be taken to induce business houses to adorn the facade of their buildings with flowers, especially for next year, when thousands of tourists are expected to visit out city. The Bon Marche has been a pioneer in this respect, and it was considered that it would be a great improvement to the appearance of our streets if more places of business would follow its example — not to speak of the advantage to flower growers. The weather of the last week has been rather remarkable for the season. With no rain for a whole week, people begin to sit up and take notice. Today was a lovely, springlike day. We have had no real frost and the pussy willows are beginning to show their catkins. Maybe they will curl up pretty quickly some night soon. T. W. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. The demand for flowers is below normal. Expensive stock suffers equally with the moderate priced flowers. This condition is common this fall and just now is more in evidence on account of comparison with the Thanksgiving rush. Many of the stores have lots of red in the display windows, but not much real Christmas stock is yet sEown. Red and green ruscus is being used ej^t^nsively and the supply has run shorty temporarily. There is also a scarcity of araucarias. There will be no oversupply of carna- tions for the holidays and some dealers will find it difficult to get enough to fill orders. The supply of mums. Paper Whites, white Roman hyacinths, stevia, bou- vardia, violets, roses and lilies is equal to the present demand and prices are about normal, both to the grower and from the public. Conditions this year are so entirely different from those of all former years that the retailers are puzzled in figuring the quantities of their holiday supplies. Various Notes. J. J. Butzer, the seedsman, has en- larged his store at 188 Front street by extending his salesroom several feet into the next front south. He also has secured a trucking way to his rear storeroom, which is entirely outside his salesroom. The Tonseth Floral Co. is displaying some blooming azaleas in pink and light variegated colors.

THE THIRD EDITION Of the most successful book ever published for the trade The original Album of Designs was published in response to many requests from florists who felt the ne«d for an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the flnished article as it would be when ready for use. With the publication of this Album it became pos- sible to show th« flalsh«d vvork in beautifully printed pictures. The first edition so]ld like hot-cakes, and a second edition went quickly. The third edition is now ready. Everything is in it-*-all the standard designs and many mmm and heretofore unpublished pieces. •• pagttSy ii«ariy 300 d«slsffs and decorations, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper, hand- somely bound in a cover that will stand wear. ,_ 75c PER COPY POSTPAID $6.00 PER DOZEN BY EXPRESS CASH WITH ORDCH Hoiists' Publishing Co. iThe FlorisU' Review The Florists' Manual The Album of Designs 508 S.

OAK OIIOVK PARK ALLEN, FLORIST good. Nearly all the florists have put up their Christmas decorations. Various Notes. Stroh's Flower Shop is showing some excellent carnations. Enchantress Su- preme and Ideal are remarkably good, especially in comparison with the poor carnations that are generally being of- fered now. S. A. Anderson recently had an un- usual window display in pink and white. Panels of fluffy white tissue paper cov- ered the floor of the window and the sides. Lorraine begonias were hung on the sides and in the background. In the center a reindeer decorated with pink ribbons drew a white sled filled with pink begonias. Huge knots of pink tulle were caught here and there, giving a soft effect to the entire win- dow. J. M. McClellan and Mr. Koach are new additions to Anderson's work- ing force. W. H. Grever is doing a big' business in his Ever-ready pot cover for Christ- mas. He says that it pays to adver- tise in The Review, judging from the volume of orders he has received in return. George Kramer arrived in town De- cember 1 with a number of novelties up his sleeve for the coming holidays. He always brings something new with him. Miss K. M.

She is looking forward to a prosperous Christmas trade. Charles Sandiford is grov/ing some excellent orchid sweet peas, which are finding a ready sale at some of the leading flower stores. He made a score of 278 in bowling last week, the high- est ever made in Buffalo. Hurrah for Charlie! Mrs. Katherine Raeker has an at- tractive Christmas window, containing red wreaths, baskets of ruscus and stat- ice, etc. Her Thanksgiving trade was splendid and she hopes to have as good business for Christmas. Visitors included Arthur Zirkman, of M. Rice Co., and Ed. Fancourt, of Pen- nock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia. W. J. Palmer had a large decoration last week for the Clarke-Howard nup- tials.

The Lenox Flower Shop has a pretty Christmas display, including a handsome window of poinsettias and ferns. In front of the store there is a graceful canopy of ground pine roping, edged with red fiber roping, and where the triangular canopy comes to a point a huge bunch of red ruscus is fastened. Joseph Sangster's store is artistically decorated with red bells of all sizes. A mammoth wreath made of boxwood, red ruscus and statice is hung across the street from Bishop's department store to Mr. Sangster's. It is brilliantly lighted at night and advertises a con- test which the Jefferson street mer- chants are conducting during the holi- days. Coupons are given to each pur- chaser, and to those holding lucky numbers prizes are given each week by the various stores. Mr. Sangster has a fine lot of cyclamens, begonias, prim- roses and poinsettias on hand for Christmas. E. C. A. "IP WB SAY IT, HrK WILL OO IT* A.

CLEVELAND. The Market. The outlook for a really good Christ- mas business is good, with prospects of an average crop of all kinds or cut flowers and an increase over the quan- tity of pot plants that- are usually grown at this date. Much will depend on the weather. At this writing, we are in the midst of a blizzaril, the first one of the winter. Should continued cold weather set in, with bright days, Christmas shoppers will turn out in droves. The stock in general this year is above the average. Poinsettias, both cut and in pans, never before were grown in such quantity and never were so fine. Carnations are in fair crop only. Roses will be fine and in heavy crop. Killarney should improve in color, to be tiptop stock. Calendulas, narcissi, valley, violets, sweet peas, etc., are expected to be plentiful. Club Notes. An important meeting was held December 11 by the publicity .com- mittee of the Florists' Club, to take up the question of cooperative advertising to awaken the public to the fact that flowers and plants make desirable Christmas gifts. A plan was decided upon and a fund of $300 was at once guaranteed, to be collected pro rata from all florists who would be benefited.

While Christmas business as a rule is in such large volume that every florist has to work day and night to handle it, the consensus of opinion of the committee was that, this being an off year, considerable Christmas trade could be turned into florists' channels that otherwise would go for other com- modities. The result of this course of advertising will be watched with keen interest by all. The regular December meeting of the Florists' Club was advanced one week, on account of the holiday season. It was held December 7 and proved to be one of the most interesting meetings held in our new rooms. A general dis- cussion was held on the proper con- ducting of business, on overhead ex- pense in flower stores, and on the surest way to figure the selling price of plants and cut flowers, so as to return alwavs a fair profit to both the grower and the store man. Several new members were elected, which brings the total membership up to 130. W. E. Cook, of Stumpp & Walter Co., was present and gave an interesting talk on New York's successful flower shows and predicted for Cleveland a show second to none. Various Notes. C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, have a fine lot of azaleas, poinsettias and Cin- cinnati begonias to offer the trade. ^ scHRoeref» ^* 56 Broadway ^ DETROIT MICHIGAN John Breitmeyer's Sons Cimf Bnadwar ud Gritiit At*., DETROIT, MICH.

The Carl Ilagenburger Co., of West Mentor, has a good assortment of Christmas plants, including some fine cherries. Their snapdragons are par- ticularly fine. The Naumann Co. has its -usual fine stock of Christmas plants. Cincinnati begonias are the firm's leaders. At the greenhouses of the James Eadie Co. azaleas and begonias are the leaders, while in cut stock their Ward roses are right in crop. The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is likely to have the best carnation crop in its history. Herbert Bate says they will have plenty of red carnations, Beacon being in full crop. Their roses at Newton Falls, in charge of Guy Bate, are also in good crop. A. Graham & Son have the best poinsettias in pans that have been seen here. The flower heads are large and the color perfect, with foliage down to the pot. The J. M. Gasser Co. has. its usual fine crop of roses, carnations and poin- settias. The carnations are exception- ally fine. W. J. Kramer and Lars Anderson, both carnatien growers at Rocky River, will have large cuts of good stock for Christmas.

Hastings & Co., Atlanta, Ga., are mailing 500,000 copies of their gen- eral seed catalogue this season. The German grass seeds are beginning to arrive via Copenhagen, a roundabout way that adds appreciably to the cost. The average seedsman considers the seed business the most serious thing in this life. And it's a good thing for both. W. J. Dewey, Bellaire, Mich,, has had excellent success as a grower of radish, Michigan radish steadily improves its reputation. In view of the uncertainties that dis- turbed the trade a few months ago, the 1915 catalogues will be surprisingly like those of 1914. S. B. Dicks, who calls on seedsmen for a British firm, writes to a home paper about "slaw-sliced cabbage — as served in America; a meal fit for a king." Seedsmen issuing catalogues surely are right in being interested in prices: they seem to stand nearly all the ad- vances and give the public the advantage of all the important reductions. The Holmes Seed Co., Harrisburg, Pa., compelled to leave its former loca- tion at 119 South Second street on ac- count of the construction of the subway, has secured the building at 106-8 South Second street, which it will occupy ex- clusively. The trade on the Pacific coast this season is having the pleasure of making the acquaintance of a considerable num- ber of Hollanders who have not previ- ously gone 80 far west. Booking bulb orders for 1915 delivery is slow work everywhere this season. The St. Louis Seed Co., in temporary quarters at 408 North Broadway since the Boatman's Bank fire last spring, is preparing to move into the new building oow nearing completion at the former loi-ntion, 411-1.3 Washington aventie, St. Louis, where all up-to-date facilities are being provided. PAYINO HIOHEB FOB PEAS. About 4,000 acres will be contracted by the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cam- bridge, N.

NEW YORK ful one in the Gallatin for the seed pea j^rowers, though the extra hot and dry weather of midsummer worked to cut down the yields far below what had been anticipated. This year seed pea prices are up to the level that obtained when peas were first planted in the Gallatin. Mr. Broth- erton is authorized this year to pay 25 to 50 cents per hundred more than the prices paid here for peas last year, according to the varieties that are grown» Jn the case of several vari- eties, this brings the price paid \ip to the scale of three years ago, before the cut in prices was made. (H)VEBNM£NT LOSES SEEDS. It develops that the government lost 630 bags of British seeds by fire Oc- tober 20. The information comes out through the action of Controller Dow- ney, of the Treasury Department, in » J authorizing the allowance of six per f} cent to the adjusters on the value of 'that part of the government's consign- ment salvaged from the fire. It is stated to be a settled practice of the government to contribute for general average losses to a cargo belonging to it, and it appears that fire broke out in the hold of the steamship Minnewaska, lying at its berth in New York city October 20, after a part of the cargo had been discharged. The government seeds were consigned to I. P. Koosa, United States dispatch agent at New York. The total consignment was 853 bags, of which 223 bags, valued at about $876.53, were saved. After the fire, delivery of the bags of seeds not al- ready unloaded was placed in the hands of .lohnson & Iliggins, general average adjusters. VALLEY PIPS VIA BERGEN.

Many seedsmen in America have busi- ness acquaintance with William Cuth- bertson, head of Dobbie & Co., Edin- burgh, and a considerable number enjoy his personal acquaintance. All these will be interested in the announcement that the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain has conferred on Mr. Cuthbertson the Victoria Medal of Honor in Horticulture. There are but sixty-three of the medals, one for each year of Victoria's reign, and the con- ferring of the distinction on Mr. Cuth- bertson fills the list for the present. MONEY FOB SEEDS. The Department of Agriculture evi- dently has given up hope of the discon- tinuance of the free seed distribution. Last year the secretary recommended, in his annual report, that the practice be discontinued, but this year he is silent on the subject. Moreover, the estimates for the 1916 expenses of the department include $252,540 for the congressional free seed distribution. This is within $4,600 of the appropria- tion for the 1915 distribution now in progress. In addition to the quarter of a mil- lion dollars provided for congressmen's seeds, the department estimates $119,- 920 for the purchase, test and distribu- tion of new and rare seeds. This is, however, a decrease of $46,580 from the appropriation for the current year. For foreign seed and plant introduction, the estimate calls for $75,400, with $28,- 700 for seed testing and $50,000 for the enforcement of plant quarantine. The botanic garden has asked Con- gress to appropriate $1,657 for plants, bulbs and seeds, the last appropriation having been $1,506. E. H. P. WAB TAX DOES NOT APPLY. A number of inquiries have been re- ceived by Commissioner Osborn, chief of the Internal Revenue Bureau, of the Treasury Department, regarding the status of druggists, country merchants and others who sell boxes of seeds which are furnished to them on consignment. Ordinarily, such action would place them in the same class as commission merchants and, as such, subject to the special tax of $20 under the act of October 22, 1914. Several representa- tives of the seed trade have made per- sonal visits to the commissioner's office and have presented data to show that the druggists and merchants can hardly rightfully be considered as commission merchants. In many instances the seeds are furnished under an agreement or contract that all that are sold shall be paid for at the end of the season, less certain specified discounts, and that those unsoM shall be returned. The question of the status of a transaction of this character has been before the Alabama Supreme court, which decided Cold Storage Lily of the Valley OwioR to war coDditions, good stock is scarce.

B^ ac 3C ac ac ac ac I NEWS OF THE NURSERY TRADE fc 31 IC ac ac ac ac The Wills Valley Nursery Co., Jeffer- son county, Ala., has increased its capital stock from $100,000 to $110,000. This week's obituary column contains a report o£ the death of J. G. Harrison, founder of the nursery firm of J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md. A BRANCH nursery is to be established at Madera, Cal., by the Fresno Mursery Co., of Fresno, Cal. A tract of 160 acres has been leased and a pumping plant is being installed. William A. Peterson is superintend- ent of Edgewater Presbyterian Sunday School, in Chicago, and takes as much interest in its progress as he does in Peterson Ntirsery or any of his other business enterprises. The Diamond State Nurseries, at Mil- ford, Del., will, it is reported, be moved to Little Silver, N. J., at the beginning of the new year. Lester Lovett, pro- prietor of the Diamond State Nurseries, will detote hjs entire time to the man- zement of the Little Silver nurseries. Be «ntire season 's output of the nur- iities at Milford of dahlia and canna bulbs has been purchased for planting along the west bank of Silver Lake, at the entrance to Milford. The Secretary o'f Agriculture has is- loed an order effective January 1, 1915, prohibiting the importation from all for- eign coiintrTes of citrus nursery stock, including buds, scions and seeds, except for experimental or scientific purposes by the Department of Agriculture. This action is taken to prevent the introduc- tion into this country of citrus canker and other citrus diseases found to exist in foreign countries and liable to be introduced on nursery stock. The Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture reports that fieh! experiments and the experience of the forest service, the Dominion botanist, at Ottawa, Canada, the Vermont agri- cultural experiment station ami others continue to confirm previous statements of the efficiency of sulphuric acid as a ^fungicide in controlling the damping-off of coniferous seedlings, and of a modi- fied watering treatment in controlling blight on nursery stock. These methods are now being applied at many new nurseries, on different types of soil. The work is now largely concentrated at Garden City, Kan. INSPECTION OF IMPOETS. The continuance of exportation and inspection service by continental coun- tries in spite of the European war is the subject of a paragraph in the De- cember news-letter of the Federal Hor- ticultural Board, which will be of inter- est to nurserymen, particularly those who receive large shipments from France. The paragraph reads: "In spite of the disturbed conditions in Europe, importations of plants and nursery stock are proceeding in a fairly normal way, and even Bel>rian stock is enmiiiGT over in considerable quantities via Holland. In response to a cable in- quiry this office was advised through the French ambassador at Washington Please cut out of my ad for Privet the 18 to 2 (-inch, as 1 am all sold out of that size. The Review cer- tainly does bring the answers. ' Charles L. Smith, Oct. 13,1914. Pennsgrave. N. J. that the French inspection service would be maintained, and large importers of French stock have since confirmed this advice. Under the existing European conditions there may naturally be ex- pected some irregularity in compliance* with our regulations, and certain leniency may occasionally be necessary, especially where safety can be fully as- sured by adequate inspection on this side, either at the port of entry or destination." GBAFTING LILACS. Will you please tell me how and when to graft lilacs f Do you graft on own roots, or can you graft on privet or mulberry t E. M. As a stock, the common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, is decidedly the best. The trouble with California privet is that it is not suflBciently hardy, and, even where it is hardy, plants worked on it lose the vigor and longevity of those grafted on the common lilac stock. I have never seen mulberry tried as a stock, but do not believe it would be nearly so good as 8. vulgaris. Outdoor grafting should be done in spring. Indoors, February is the best month. Almost any grafting will answer, as lilacs unite readily. Crown grafting is generally preferred. Propagation by cuttings is best done about the end of June, before the wood becomes too firm. C. W. WESTERN ASSOCIATION MEETS. Officers Elected. At the twenty-fifth annual conven- tion of the Western Association of Nurserymen, held December 9 and 10 at the Coates House, Kansas City, Mo.^ officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President — C.

All reelected. The invitation to hold next year's convention in San Francisco, proffered in a letter from James A. Barr, directof of the congresses of the Panama-Pacifie exposition, was turned down, and Kan- sas City selected for the 1915 meeting place. Business Sessions. The business preliminaries were rushed through at the first session, Wed- nesday morning, December 9, with President W. S. Griesa in the chair.

The president's address and the excellent papers which followed were given close attention, and much earnest discussion ensued. The state- ments of nurserymen and inspectors seemed to prophesy at an early date the adoption of the hoped for uniform state inspection laws. A committee, consisting of J. W. Schuette, E. F.

City QIM BEL'S, Now York City M>nrl«»n Th» Rf^t^w wbf jog wrlt«. PROVIDENCE, R. I. The Market. The market is in about as unstable a condition as it has ever been and many of the florists are looking into the fu- ture with considerable anxiety as to what they may expect. Whereas there should be a promising outlook at this time of the year, the immediate prospects are far from encouraging. Stock is good in quality and the supply is normal. In, fact, under ordinary con- ditions it would be considered short, but the demand continues at a lower standard than the supply and conse- quently there is no apparent stringency. The early part of last week brought a warm rain that lasted for more than forty-eight hours and was followed by a decided drop in temperature. Various Notes. • Alessandro Litteris has been granted permission to erect a greenhouse at 68 Hassan street. William McAllister, gardener for Mrs, John C. Whitin, at Whitinsville, was elected one of the vice-presidents of the Worcester County Horticultural Society at the annual meeting last week. Cornelius Sullivan, who has been in charge of .Joseph Koppelman 's green- houses, in Kast Providence, has re- signed to return to the position he held for more than twenty years with T. O'Connor, in this city. Charles Evans, for several years with Albert Holscher, on Hartford avenue, is now with T. J. Johnston & ("o. E. A. Chipman announces a rummage sale of surplus plants of all kinds at his greenhouses at Chipman 's corner, East Woonsocket. Peter S. Byrnes, of Wickfonl, was one of the large prize-winners at the recent annual exhibition of the Rhode Island Poultry Society. The recent ruling of the city council of this city against the use of Craw- ford street bridge as a market place has prevented the Christmas green-men from occupying the^ place utilized for generations for tlTe sale- of trees, wreaths and roping. Mr. Green, representing H. Bayers- dorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was a caller on the trade in this vicinity last week. O. H. Williams has returned from Chicago, where he purchased a No. 11 Kroesehell boiler for his range of houses at 950 Hartford avenue. W. H. M.

The arrival of winter over that part of the country that has the most green- J^ouse glass has brought the necessity for steady hard firing, but it has not brought the usual attention to the ques- tion of fuel supply. The coal trade has been in such a situation for months that practically every grower has been loaded up with all the fuel his bins will hold. The market continues easy in spite of the increased consumption, but prices are well maintained, the mines having consistently followed the policy of cur- tailing production so as not to overload the market. There still are bargains for the man who is so located that the jobbers can get to him easily when they have a car or two up to demurrage, but this is a condition that always main- tains except in times of car shortage. LABOEB PIPE IS PBEFEBABLE. I have just completed the erection of a greenhouse and am at a loss to know how to pipe it. The house runs north and south and is 14x30. It is eight feet high to the ridge and has glass walls five feet high. Please tell me how many lineal feet of 1*4 -inch pipe will be re- quired to heat this house to a night temperature of 50 degrees in zero weather, using hot water heat. What size of boiler will be needed? What size of main and return should be used between the boiler and the greenhouse and should these pipes be laid under- ground? I am located in southwestern Kansas. M. H. N. From the sketch that accompanies the inquiry, it appears that the boiler is located twenty or more feet away from the greenhouse and eight feet below the greenhouse level. The green- house has a door in the south end, the end connected with the boiler, and there is another door in the west wall, about five feet from the north end. y To heat the house, I would suggest that you run a 3-inch flow pipe a foot or so underground to the southwest corner. Just inside the house, carry the 3-ineh pipe up to the level of the plate and extend it to the door in the side wall, where a 2-inch pipe should be dropped down to feed a coil of seven 1%-inch pipes, which should run along the wall back to the southwest corner. Extend the main, after reduc- ing it to 2V^-inch, over the door and then drop it down and feed a coil of seven 1 14 -inch pipes, which should be carried along the north end of the house and down the east side to the door in the south end. From there a 2%-inch pipe should run to the south- west corner and there connect with the other coil by means of a 2-inch pipe, after which it should run to the heater as a 3-inch return. This will require about 500 lineal feet of l\i- inch pipe. Instead of the 1^4 -inch Pipe Fittings -- Imico Boilers -VOB GRKKHHOnSS WOBK- ILLINOIS MALLEABLE IRON CO.

If for any reason it is not possible to sink the boiler so that the 3-inch flow can be carried all of the way to the greenhouse underground, it may be above ground for a part or all of the way. The heater should be rated for 400 square feet of radiating surface. LETTUCE HOUSE AND RESIDENCE. I have two or three questions to ask you about heating. I have an upright boiler, thirty inches by five feet, in a pit three feet deep. My residence is forty feet from the boiler room and the ground is level. Hot water heat is used. Can I heat the residence from the greenhouse boiler? The expansion tank is just over the boiler end of the flows. Would it be practicable to locate the expansion tank outside the boiler room, in this part of Kansas, where the outside temperature has been I known to drop to 20 or 25 degrees be- TOMORROW HORNING^ you are likely to And a Ie*k or two in your grraD- house pipe lines.

The house is four years old, of serai-iron construction, and six- feet high to the eaves. W. W. H. So far as can be determined from the data given, there will be no diffi- culty in heating the residence from the greenhouse boiler, provided the jQjLof the boiler is two to three feet below the surface of the ground. Especially if radiators are to be placed on the second floor of the residence, it will be .advisable to place the expansion tank in the dwelling, above the level of the highest radiator. If in the attic, or in an exposed place, care should be taken that the water in the tank and the pipe leading to it are not allowed to freeze, as otherwise serious results might follow. The pipes leading to the dwelling should be wrapped with asbestos or other good pipe covering, and enclosed either in a wooden or con- crete conduit.

Hig^htstown ^ New Jersey principle — Two layers of glass with a Vs-inch layer of dry still air Get ready for your winter garden Glass must be used whether you garden for profit or simply to enjoy having vegetables and flowers when they are a luxury and sell high. And you must have Sunlight Double Glass Sash if you want to get the best results at the least cost of money and labor. They have become the standard througliout the best and largest gardens in the country for very good reasons: — Three reasons why 1 The air space enclosed between the two layers of glass makes a transparent cover that affords better proteciion than the mats and shutters on the old single sash. And, it never has to be put on and oH. It is always there though invisible. 2 This air spade saves more than one half the labor. 3 It makes far earlier and stronger plants. Our inexpensive greenhouse A handy man can set it up in a few hours. It is framed of cypress and covered top and sides with Sunlight Double Glass Sash which can be removed at will for use elsewhere or for repairs. Get our free catalogue It gives full particulars.

Tlie Market. Last week's business in cut liowers, while good, was not much above the ordinary. The demand was steady, but somewhat limited, and the small sup- ply easily took care of all needs. Con- siderable of the stock is showing the effects of the fortnight of cloudy weather we had up to the first of this week, with the exception of two hours on Friday. The rose supply continues large enough to meet all present requirements and meets with an active demand. The American Beauty supplj' is good. Car- nations are plentiful and good stock sells readily. Lily cuts are sufficient for present needs. Valley, orchids and violets are meeting with an active call for the Christmas and New Year's business. Other offerings include nar- cissi, both the Paper Whites and yel- lows, Roman hyacinths, callas, stevias, sweet peas, wallflowers, forget-me nots and primroses. The supply of both decorative and Christmas greens is large. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell reports that if the present strong demand for supplies is any indication at all of what Christmas business will be, the business for that day is bound to be good. E. G. Gillett has been getting in some of the fine single violets from George Hopp, Grand Rapids, Mich. They sell readily. P. J. dinger went to New Castle, Ind., Monday, December 14, to estimate the Christmas cut from his plant there. Both C. J. Jones and Otto Walke, who have been ill for the last fort- night, are again at their desks. Visitors include F. W. Romer, rep- resenting the Briarcliff Greenhouses, Scarboro, N. Y.; F. R. and P. M.

'Dae Horis^' Review 101 Iron or Steel Posts— Which? IROM several of the letters that have recently come to us, it is evident that there still exists with some a rather hazy idea of the difference between steel side posts and iron. The disadvantage of one, and the advantafires of the other. Some oae has evidently told them that '"the only difference is the difference in cost." It has been stated that we use guaranteed wrought iron posts "because they were cheaper than steel." This is not so. Regular commercial iron, which it really steel, costs lest than guaranteed wrought iron. Steel used to be the most expensive, but the improved process of smelting has made building steel the cheapest. We use guaranteed wrought iron for our posts because, after a 35 years' test, we dnd it will stand in the ground with only a slight surface rusting. llngalvanized steel under similar conditions rusts rapidly through and throuieh. It "eats off at the ground line," just as do steel pipe columns. You can see when looked at under a powerful microscope that both steel and wrought iron are of a stringy tex- ture, somewhat like a shredded wht-at biscuit. The shreds of the steel lie closely together with nothing between them to prevent the moisture penetra- ting end starting the eating in of the rust. But wrought iron is different, due to its different process in making. Each one of the shreds is surroun led This edgewise view of our side post shows you the doable gusset plate which bolts the rafter and post together. by a film of chemical cinder that keeps out the rust just like galvanizing protects anything. To say it another way; it's just like a wire rope, every strand of which has been painted before being made into rope. All of which is not mere adverlisitig talk, but simple facts well known by all iron and steel manufacturers. We know that the guaranteed wrought ir"bn we buy is exactly what we soecify; because it is tested by our test- ing department. If not up to specifications, back it goes. One thing is certain; about every certain thing about our construction— there is absolutely no guess work. We do not use a thing because some one else doe*. We use it because we have proyeo it to be the best thing to use. Tomorrow, for example, after the results of a ser- ies of tests and experiments, we may prove to ourselves that some other thing, which we are not using, is bet- ter; and it will promptly be adopted. It may seem, sometimes, as if we changed our minds over nigLt, when, as a matter of fact, we may have been making tests and slowly changing our minds for months and months. Our salesmen know exactly why we use the things we use, the way we use them. If you but give them half a chance, they can prove up to you, step by step, why our materials and construction are beyond a question of doubt the very best in the market today. When you are ready for such a talk -say when and where and one. of us will be there. fofd^fcrfiiirnhamlo.

Bolted Thru the Pipe n This is the Newst Monin^er P'ittin>;. The Only Bolted Tliru the Pipe Filling. OR Bolted Thru the Fitting? J|ET US settle this bolted through talk now, so there will be no more "humbug." You may have read the advertisement of another greenhouse manufacturer, which was worded so that you were made to Ibelieve they had beeu making bolted through fittings for years that bolted through the pipe. They didn't say the bolt Went through the fitting only and not through the pipe. They wanted you to think it was a fitting just like ours and that our idea was not new at all. You can't afford to let anybody put anything over as raw as that. The truth is, our fitting bolts through the pipe. It is a brand-new, original idea. It was awarded the S. A. P. highest award at the 1914 Convention. It has never been made by anybody but us. It is made of steel and galvanized. Their fitting is the old cast iron split tee that clamps on, slips off and cracks. Even an Adroit Lie can be Nailed FREIGHT FREE IF YOU HURRY Our annual freight offer expires January 20.

Advertising is salesmanship, but it possesses the advantage of having a far wider r^ge than that of the salesman. The sa^sman <4way have the ear of hundredis; the S3v^tising goes- to thou- sands and teB8'*Kr thousands, reaches unsuspected quarters and brings from the wide unknown an answering in- terest from places wholly unthought of. It is a powerful maker of reputation and popularity. Florists as a rule have certain families as customers and are content working those openings over and over again, without the slight- est suspicion that there may be thou- sands of other open- ings for trade with people who have never known of the house, its name and wares till it threw them broadcast to the whole world. Then again, there is the foolish notion that it is unethical to go after the competitor 's customers. Competitors own no customers beyond the time they can hold them, and if there is any field for competition it is perfectly logical and ethical to go after trade wherever it can be found. Price isn't the sole thing to catch trade with. There are as many ways to advertise as there are to sell goods; advertising is a dragnet to catch whoever may come along. Con- nections are always changing. The buyer who may be on the best of terms with your competitor today may change his feelings toward him tomorrow and may need only the right psychological hint as to where to find a new connec- tion. An advertise- ment may give it to him. The florist such a seeker for safe harbor may be looking for is the one with aggressive- ness enough to let himself be known; one who is foraging afield rather than moving in the old If Yon Are Acautomed to Order Flowers By nuil or phone, you can- not real^ the luxury of having your order handled by Penn's until you try it.

But not all salesmanship was apparently alike, for the Equitable found a way to hit human interest right between the eyes. It found a way to make renters think and then tie their thoughts up to that building. All across the front on Broadway were scaffoldings; ordinarily blots on the landscape, but in this case turned into things of startling power. With millions of people passing along Broad- way, why not make the scaffolding pay? Whom would the advertising aim att The unknown, but very human reader. All men are alike in fundamentals and you never can tell when a single thought may ripen into strong appeal. And 60 the genius went to work painting clever little panels all over the scaffold- ing. They are the talk of lower Broad- way and the Equitable has proved a serious competitor for established office buildings. Here are a few of the shafts of psychological ammunition: The man who reKards his business address as a Bide Issue is slde-trackinK bis business. Call up John 535 — opportunity's new 'phoue nuDiber. The man who locates In the E}<]uitable build- ing will travel In distinguished company. An Equitable tmilding lease is an asset; an asset to us, it is true, but no less an asset to you. We will not make a concession to one tenant and deny it to another. Our name is not Equi- table for nothing. No matter how good- your present quarters are, it will pay you to investigate the Equitable. Equitable service will not follow precedents; it will create them. The E>]uitable building has four sides to It; but there are no two ways about its adTentages. Not one of those arguments in itself represents the power to rent a room. It isn't an ordinarily comprehensible reason. But every one of them appeals to the logic of a business man with an appeal which creates a certain kind of sympathy with the enterprise. It clings, and whenever it rises in memory it is invariably associated with the Equitable building. Inevitably its influence is constructive and some of the attraction remains till the moment arrives when its victim is looking for offices. Then it pays. A few florists make use of the printed word to influence the minds of the masses, as Penn, of Boston, is doing in the series of ads reproduced on the preceding page, but the majority still say they "have nothing to advertise." There isn't a florist — wholesale or retail — who has anything to sell who has nothing to advertise. Are they doing it? Are they reaching out to quarters unknown which may spell op- portunity to them? Or are they com- fortably sitting still in a comfortable rut and leaving others to speed ahead in the race! Look over the trade. Some houses are complacent and prosperous; others are going to seed; and still others are reaching out and forging ahead with unmistakable effect. Once in a while one hears it said that a florist can't force trade. If so, he has failed to install the right kind of pushers. No line of business presents such positive and permanent encourage- ment for successful exploitation as the florists' trade. The hundred million people of America, with better buying power than any people on earth, are a sure element of demand. The share each florist gets rests With himself. If he is satisfied, very well. What's the use of trying to get ahead of his com- petitor! Only remember the lesson of the old hen. When the worms are scarce she doesn't stop scratching. She might scratch out a few if she keeps at it. FOBMOSAS FOB EASTEB. I have a batch of Formosa lilies which were potted up as soon as re- ceived, September 1. Most of them are about eight inches high and are kept in a temperature of 65 to 70 de- grees during the day and 60 degrees at night. As I have not grown this variety before, I would like to know if they will be all right for Easter this year. If .not, what would you ad- vise doing wi til them? A. L. B. Your lilies are a little early for Easter, which comes next year early in April. You can, however, hold a good many of them, but the temperature must be reduced; 52 to 55 degrees at night will suffice. You must see the flower buds six weeks before Easter. If the plants do not come along fast enough give them more heat a little later in the winter. The Formosa lily is variable. Some plants will grow five feet high, others only one-fourth as much. Some stalks carry only a solitary flower, others ten or a dozen. It naturally grows somewhat tall and for this reason it has greater value as a cut flower than as a pot plant. It is one of the cleanest and most satis- factory of all forcing lilies for cutting. SEASONABLE NOTES. Cattleya Trianae. Cattleya Trianse is the standard win- ter cattleya for the florist. A good cut is always ready for the holidays, while cut flowers can be had right up to the end of March. It is an easy variety to grow and any commercial grower who wants winter cattleya flowers should grow a few. The price, fortunately, is low and well within the reach of all. One point to remember with reference to Trianse, is not to aim to get large, heavy, dark green plants by using too much shade. Such plants may win plaudits from your friends, but you will be surprised at flowering time to find that on big, fat bulbs, which should throw sheaths with three to five flow- ers each, only a solitary flower will often come. Give plenty of light dur- ing the growing season, especially in the fall, and you will get the flowers. Keep the plants in flower where they can get a little shade; also let the at- mosphere about them be dry, to pre- vent the petals from spotting. Cattleya Percivaliana. The flowers of Cattleya Percivaliana eome so as to fill the gap between labiata and Trianae. They are much smaller than those of Triana? and will not sell well in competition with the larger flowers. The flowers of Perci- valiana, however, are showy, of a deep rose color, with rich crimson and pur- ple lips. It is most floriferous and makes one of the finest of all cattleyas for a Christmas plant. It grows well with labiata and Trianaj and, like them, wants a place as near the glass as possible. This, also, is an inexpen- sive cattleya and is specially useful for florists who have a good home trade. Dendrobium WardianunL Dendrobium Wardianum now has the nodes well made up; some have buds spread out and a few will have flowers open early in January. A little more water at the root can be given as the flowers open, but be careful on this score, as this dendrobe, if kept moist, will start off to grow again with a rush which we want to postpone for at least a few weeks. Plants on which nodes are just forming can be given a light spraying daily and a slightly warmer house. While D. Wardianum is leafless when in bloom, it produces such quantities of its beautiful flowers along the pseudo-bulbs that the lack of leaves is hardly noticeable. Dendrobium Formosum Oigantenm. Some plants of Dendrobium formosum giganteum are always to be had at Christmas. The clusters of large, pure white flowers with orange yellow lips, above the rich, dark green foliaged pseudo-bulbs, make a delightful picture. These dendrobium flowers bring as much money as cattleyas in late fall and early winter. In fact, many peo- ple when buying them think they are cattleyas. This Burmese dendrobe needs a brisk, moist heat in order to do well, and no one should attempt its culture who cannot give it these con- ditions. It succeeds well either on a light bench or suspended near the glass. Dendrobium Noblle. Dendrobium nobile, flowering in win- ter and early spring, is one of our old- est and best varieties. It can ba grown and flowered by anyone* owning a greenhouse. It does not run out as do some orchids, is easily propagated, flowers profusely and is splendid either as a pot plant or for cutting. There is a great variation in its coloring, from rose or deep purple to the purest white. The price is low and no one Dbcbiibbb 24. 1914. The Florists^ Review 11 need be afraid to attempt its culture. To flower to perfection, the plants must have had a dry, sunny location for a couple of months or more past, and now on many bulbs the nodes will be plump- ing up. Be careful to go lightly on watering while the nodes are small, or these are likely to develop growths in- stead of flowers. To increase D. nobile, old pseudo- bulbs which have flowered can be cut in short lengths and laid on a bed of sphagnum where they will be in the shade, but where they can get a good bottom heat. If lightly sprayed from time to time, these will soon start throwing out roots >ind later growths, which can be potted several together in 4-inch or 5-inch pots or pans of moss and fern fiber. A year later they will malce nice plants. Growths which have started in lieu of flowers on blooming plants can be left until they are fairly well matured and then potted up in the same way. Laelias. This is the season when laelias make a notable showing. L. anceps, with its colored and white flowers; L. autum- nalis, with its beau^ful pale rose flow- ers, finely perfumed, and L. Gouldiana, the splendid natural Hybrid between anceps and autumnalis, are a beautiful trio now in bloom. These Mexican laelias while flowering do well at the cool end of the cattleya house, but while growing they need a cool, airy greenhouse, little shade and a good spraying daily. If grown in baskets or pans close to the glass, they are sure to flower well. The white forms of anceps, such as Stella, Sanderiana, Schrcederiana, etc., are quite cheap, have even more vigor than the colored type and have stronger flower spikes with larger blooms. They also keep much better when cut. CABE OF GOLDFISH. I should like to get some information about goldfish. I have a cement tank, six feet in diameter and eighteen inch- es deep, which I want to fill with fish. How many will it hold? How many and what kinds of aquatic plants could I put in the tank that would be harmless to the fish? How many fish can I raise from a pair of old ones in one year? What is the best food for the fish and how often should they be fed? H. A. C. The tank mentioned will hold from 100 to 300, according to the size of the fish. It would be best to begin with 100 and observe the result. If the fish continually come to the sur- face and gasp for air, overcrowding is indicated. A cement tank such as you mention should be filled with wa- ter, which should be allowed to stand for a few days, and then emptied and filled with fresh water before the fish are put in. -'' Good aquarium plants are: Ca- bomba, myriophyllum, anacharis and ludwigia.

Start After Holiday Rush. While carnation specialists begin propagating carnations in December and some even start as early as No- vember, the average grower does not care to start so early. The chances are that during the Christmas rush the car- nation cuttings are apt to be forgotten at some critical time and failure will more often result. While, of course, some of the slower growing sorts may be slightly benefited by this early start, especially where extremely eferly planting is practiced, experience has taught us that, unless it is inteiidM to bench quite early and especial at- tention is given this early propagated stock, its chances for making good are less than those of cuttings that are rooted in January and February. Far be it from me to discourage the spe- cialist in making an early start. I be- lieve in starting early, and I need only state that a large part of our next year's stock is in sand right now. But I am writing now for the benefit of the beginner and those who have not made enough progress in carnation growing to be specialists or experts, and these include a host of retailers who grow a house or two of carnations along with a variety of other stock. On such places I have noticed that the early propagated stock is apt to suffer for want of attention and by May 1 is in poorer condition than the later cut- tings. So I would suggest that you prepare to start in right after the holi- day rush has passed. If you have a special propagating house, you will, of course, root the cut- tings there, but be sure you use the cool end. The temperature should never be higher than ifl the growing houses. If you have no special house for this purpose, select a bench that can be well protected from both sun and draft, as either one will be ruinous to the cut- tings in the early stages. Be sure the bench is thoroughly cleaned before the sand is put on. Wash all the wood parts clean with the hose and allow to dry before applying a good coat of hot lime wash. Do not use a bench in which the boards are half rotted, as you would be sure to have trouble with fungus. Rather build a new bench. We have for several seasons used a brick bottom bench and find it quite satisfactory. The cuttings seem to root sooner, and the sand can be dried off more quickly after the cuttings are rooted, thus enabling us to get them out of the sand sooner than was pos- sible on the wooden bench, I take it for granted that you have provided suitable sand for this work. Do not make the mistake of using the same sand for more than one batch of cut- tings. It is about the poorest economy imaginable. Unless you have a never- failing source of supply, I would sug- gest that you get in a large ^art of what you will need during the propagating season. A few days of delay might cause you serious loss during the height of the propagating season. The Question of Varieties. In your preliminary ajrrangements you will be confronted with the ques- tion of what to propagate. If you bought some of the new varieties, as every grower who tries to keep abreast of the times does, you will have to de- cide whether or not any of them are good enough to displace some of the old stand-bys, either as a whole or in part. Up to the present time there seems to be nothing in sight that is likely to displace the Enchantress fam- ily with the small retail grower. He finds they fill his wants better than most other varieties, and they do so uniformly well that until that trio of Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress and Wliite Enchantress go bad, as they undoubtedly will some day, they will be grown. And now is added Enchant- ress Supreme, which is certainly a superior sport of old Enchantress, and it is already supplanting that variety wherever it was tried out. The spe- cialist and the large wholesale grower, however, find that some of the other varieties are returning them more money than the Enchantress varieties and that for shipping purposes some of them are far and away ahead. They find that Pink Delight will ship twice as far as Enchantress and come out better at the end of the journey. The same may be said of Mrs. C. W, Ward. White Wonder is fast taking the place of White Enchantress among all classes of growers, and Matchless bids fair to demand a share of the bench room in the future. It is a great keeper and should prove a fine shipper. Then, too, the larger grower needs more variety in color. He needs scarlet in quantity, especially at Christmas; and crimson, yellow and variegated, to say nothing of that exquisite pure pink shade of Gloriosa. Many of the smaller growers have lost patience with this variety on account of its disinclination to make a plant in the field. We find that it does need special attention to get good plants, but we also know that fine plants can be produced with proper handling. We are inclined to think that the prevailing idea of its making poor plants is largely imaginary, be- cause it makes no grass and a plant with the same number of flower shoots as a plant of Enchantress will appear much smaller. We have here a bed of Gloriosa, the cut from which is within half a bloom per plant of an- other bed of Rose-pink Enchantress, and it will pass that variety within the next month, judging by their present Bench of C. H. Frey's Free Blooming Red Seedliog^Gimatioa, Nebraska. Decembbb 24, 1914. The Florists^ Review 13 gait. Every hill is a single plant, too, but even if we had to double or treble the plants, I don't believe we would want to give it up yet. System Insures Success. If you have a new variety in moder- ate quantity that is making good, you will want to work up as much stock as possible without impairing its vigor. Instead of chopping oflE the whole tops evenly, we find a better plan is to take off only those shoots which have not begun to run up. These make good cuttings and after that we take off the breaks as they reach the proper size. In this way we get nearly the whole season's cut of blooms and nearly as many cuttings, besides conserving the vigor of the stock. The sooner you do this with these varieties, the more stock you will be able to provide for next season. If, perchance, your stock of some of the standard sorts is in poor condition, try changing the stock for another year. There are plenty of rooted cutting specialists who can sup- ply you stock that is healthy and vig- orous, which will give you better re- turns and less worry than to try to doc- tor up a lot of sickly cuttings. Don't start propagating without a definite plan in view, as some growers do. They simply take off what side shoot cuttings they can get from each variety, and by planting-out time they find themselves short of some varieties and long on others. Figure up what you need to plant your beds and then decide on how many you need of each variety. Keep this list handy, where you can refer to it frequently. Then work to that end from the start. There is nothing that brings success like system. A. F. J. Baur. SOLID BEDS VERSUS BENCHES. Do carnation growers who operate on a fairly large scale favor benches or ground beds? Also, which do rose growers prefer, ground beds or bench- est S. H. While there are many growers of roses and carnations who use ground beds, by far the greater number pre- fer benches. The ground beds pro- duce, in the hands of a capable grower, as fine stock as can be grown on benches, but on raised tables the grower has his plants under better control and can time his crops more exactly, or at least such is the general belief. F. R. BLOOMS NOT KEEPING WELL. What is the matter with my blooms of Chrysanthemum Helen Frick? They have splendid form, color and size, but they are soft when cut and unfit to ship after being in water twelve to twenty-four or forty-eight hours. I grow all the standard mums, but Helen Frick and President Roosevelt are the only ones that give trouble in this re- spect. Are these varieties generally as unsatisfactory as I have found themt H. J. R. ■ .J^' f — ^ '■ J Helen Priclc and Roosevelt are both dwarf in growth, and in order to get suflBcient length of stem you have no doubt been cutting down low, where the stem is woody and hard.

By making a long, slashing cut at the bottom of the stem, or by splitting the stem about two inches before placing in water, most of the varieties may be made to draw better. We have found this fall that by merely slashing off the bark here and there along that part of the stem which will be immersed in water, even the hardest-stemmed varieties may be made to draw water satisfactorily. A. F. J. Baur. NEBRASKA IN LINCOLN.' ' ' C. H. Frey, of Lincoln, Neb., who has grown both Victory and Beacon, has largely displaced these two by his own red seedling, of which 900 plants are shown in the bench at the right '.n thft illustration on page 12. This is a seedling raised from a cross of Victory and Beacon. The flowers are large, of good color and well formed, but, best of all, the seedling, according to Mr. Frey, shows two points of marked superiority to either of the parents. He asserts with emphasis, and refuses to qualify the statement, that the variety will give two flowers to one of Enchantress; and he says he never has seen a split calyx on it. He says that in Lincoln he can sell red carnations every day in the year, right along with white or pink, and that he intends planting the new variety heav- ily next year. He has named it Ne- braska.

In this way the three lower branches have been nearly stripped of their leaves. The plant is about 8 years old. It is in an 8-inch pot and stands four and a half feet high. It was repotted last spring and the soil was of a sandy na- ture, containing about one-fifth decayed horse manure. From that time its growth has been slow and about two months ago the leaves began to fall. I keep it rather moist and it gets the benefit of the afternoon sun only. The temperature is never below 50 degrees or over 70 degrees. If you could sug- gest a change of treatment, the favor would be greatly appreciated. F. K. The specimens in question show in- dications of thrips, an insect that is quite partial to araucarias and soon does them much injury. Vigorous syringing is the best preventive to use against the thrips, and by way of im- mediate treatment the plant should be well sprayed- with nicotine solution. With regular syringing and a night temperature of 50 degrees, there should be little trouble from thrips on the araucaria, but sometimes these de- structive pests get a start before they are noticed.

It is a regular thing to hear it stated that the cut blooms of the Mrs. Russell rose must be sold at a good price or it will not pay. In this connection it will be of interest to note the record of two houses of Russell at Plant A of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111. One of these houses was planted in March, with early grafts, getting a good start, and up to December 15 had given a cut that averaged fifteen blooms per plant. The adjoining house was not planted until about a month later and December 15 had given an average of eleven blooms per plidiit. Considering the prices at which Russell has sold in the Chicago market this season, it is little wonder growers are going in heavily for it next year. August Poehlmann is quoted as saying, December 15, that the company had orders for 165,000 grafted plants of Russell for spring delivery. OWN-BOOT OB OBAFTED. I am a beginner at rose growing, having heretofore devoted my space to lettuce and carnations, so I shall ap- preciate information as to which is the best, own-root or grafted plants of Kil- larneyf S. H. By far the greater part of the roses grown under glass in the United States are on their own roots; indeed, the records of the Federal Horticultural Board show that the total importations of rose stocks last year were only 3,556,380, although, of course, a large number of grafted plants are run two or more years before being replaced with young stock. "While the majority of ^roVfers, especially the smaller ones who practice the false economy pf propagating their own stock, still use own-root plants, the biggest and most successful rose special- ists as a rule use a large percentage of grafted stock. Alex. Montgomery, Jr., made out a strong case for grafts in his monograph, "The History and Cul- ture of Grafted Roses for Forcing," published a few years ago by The Re- view. In the course of his series of artieiea Mr. Montgomery said: "It seems to be the general opin- ion, among those who have never grown grafted stock, that the superiority over own-root is chiefly during the early autumn months. In order to dispel any such notion, I shall give the figures of the cut by months from a house of i', 'V own-root roses, and also from the same house when planted with grafts. This is not a special case biit only one of many which could be quoted to support our contention in favor of the Manetti. While these figures do not, of course, take into consideration the quality of the flowers, still, assuming that the grades are at least equal, and I be- lieve it is generally admitted that they are, they present evidence which ought to satisfy the most skeptical. Month Own-root Grafted August 6,899 8.653 September 11,317 20,950 October 11,614 9,325 November 10,373 16,658 Pecember 5,829 8,503 .January 7.277 10,653 February 4,958 6,775 Marcli 7,634 9,997 April 10.009 13,602 May 13.834 20,813 June 12,991 16.624 Total 102,735 142.453 "This is an interesting record for several reasons. It shows the same bench space to have produced practi- cally forty per cent more flowers on grafted than on own-root plants, an increase calculated to command the con- sideration of even the most successful growers of own-root stock; and it shows the increase to be well distributed through the season, the month of De- cember, for instance, showing an in- creased cut of nearly fifty per cent as compared with the house of own-root p^a^ts. ' ' GBAFTS OF MBS BUSSELL. The Review recently suggested to a concern that is growing Mrs. Russell rose in quantity that it would pay to advertise young stock, which is in good demand. The reply mav be of value to the trade, although probably not writ- ten for publication: ' ' Your favor of December 18 at hand, suggesting advertising grafted plants of Mrs. Chas. Russell rose. We will have but few of these to offer this year, as we expect to plant a considerably larger quantity ourselves and do not find it profitable to graft this rose at the prevailing market rates. We have found that it is a diflScult rose to graft and that it ought to bring $30 per thou- sand more than the price that it i^ nQ.y offered at. Under these circtrflstdnce^ we do not think it advisable to adver- tise this rose." man who wants to be sure he is right will not decide Killarney Brilliant is not a money-maker until he has tried it quite a little longer. If one may haz- ard a guess as to what is the matter,, the propagator overworked it. The dis- seminator is quoted as saying his orig- inal stock consisted of twelve plants brought from Ireland. The next year he had 800, the third year 32,000, and from these he is said to have supplied the trade with over 300,000 plants or eyes. Surely, if these figures are even approximately correct, the disseminator is right in believing it did' quite well by him. Killarney Brilliant is more than likely to recover its strength and be- have itself as soon as it has had a season or two in the hands of propa- gators who are not pressed for tim& the way the ^ntroducer of a popular novelty always is. Give it time. AMEBICAN BOSE SOCIETY. MUI.TIPLIOATION. Quite a few growers have found Killarney Brilliant a problem; it has seemed much more inclined to drop its foliage than to bear bloom. The flower is all right; the trouble is in the plant. Some growers are quick to pronounce a verdict against a variety, but the Meeting of Executive Committee. The executive committee of the American Rose Society had a full meet- ing at the office of Traendly & Schenck» in New York, city, December 14. Thomas Roland, on behalf of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society,, extended an invitation to the American Rose Society to hold its annual exhibi- tion and meeting in Boston, March 25 to 28, and the invitation was accepted. The exhibit in pots and tubs is to be made March 25 and cut roses are to be staged on Friday, March 26. The com- mittee to act with the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in preparing a premium list consists of Louis J. Ren- ter, Westerly, R. I.; Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass., and Alex. Montgomery,. Natick, Mass. A special committee was appointed to solicit premiums and is composed of the following: Louis J. Reuter, West- erly, R. I.; E. Allan Peirce, Waltham,. Mass.; Eber Holmes, Montrose, Mass.; S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, Pa.; Wal- lace R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; Frank Traendly, New York city; Pat- rick Welch, Boston, Mass.; E. G.

Kasting Co., wholesale florist, against Charles H. Netsch, florist. The Kasting concern sued to recover $2,000, the value of flowers which Mr. Netsch was alleged to have received over the quantities called for by the sales tickets by means of an alleged conspiracy with one of the Kasting former employees. Mr. Netsch denied any conspiracy and stated that any extra flowers or plants he received were in the nature of lib- eral count to stimulate his patronage of the house. He said that he never asked for more flowers than he ordered and paid for. PHYTOMYZA CHRYSANTHL Perhaps the average grower does not feel acquainted with Phytomyza Chry- santhi, but he will remember the chry- santhemum leaf-mine^.,a^jnarguerite fly. It may be of hI«^^, then, to know that the Massachusetts Agri- cultural Experiment Station at Amherst has just printed a 60-page, illustrated bulletin on the subject — twenty-five pages devoted to introduction, distri- bution, life history, etc., and two pages to reporting that the first florist asked said those who spray with nicotine in- secticides have no further trouble with the pest; with half a dozen pages of summary, recommendations, index, etc. It is stated the document is a contri- bution from the entomological labora- tory of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, part of a thesis for Ph.D. de- gree. It is to be hoped the writer got it. Hoopeston, HL — E. A. Raasch has purchased a new automobile delivery car. Crawfordsville, Ind. — A, S. Pett has a new delivery truck, which he expects to be a valuable addition to his equip- ment. Home, lU. — John Trimmer has built a greenhouse at his residence, on West A street, and expects to do a good busi- ness in flowers and plants. Marshfleld, Wis.— Theo. D. Hefko has purchased a Buick roadster. He has installed a new heating plant, consist- ing of two 30-horse-power boilers,. which were made at a local boiler works. • Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Gottlieb Baumann has opened a large, new store at 168 South Main street, next door to the NesbJtt theater. He will use this store to dispose of the stock grown at his greenhouses on South Grant street. Loudonvllle, O.— R. H. Workman is considering installing a boiler with burner for heating his establishment with gas. He has 13,000 feet of ground covered and needs 50 degrees when it is 20 degrees below zero outside.

Louisiana, Mo. — Mrs. Susie Foreman has purchased the stock and business of the Elmwood Floral Co. and will com- bine it with her own establishment on Ninth street. Houston, Tex.— The Gulf Florists ^ill soon open their third store, in the Foster building. They have a shop in the Westheimer building and operate the flower department of the W. C. Munn Co. Burlington, la. — A downtown store is being opened by Mrs. Jos. Bock at 317 North Third street. This will handle the greater part of the business for- merly transacted at the greenhouses and, it is hoped, add to it to a large extent. Marion, HL — Mrs. M. L. Copeland, who has been conducting the business of her husband, J. P. Copeland, since his death, has had her houses remodeled during the last few weeks. The work has been carried on under the super- vision of George Beal, of Creal Springs. Hartford, Wis.- F. Rhodes has changed the site of his greenhouses from within the city to a 20-acre tract which he recently purchased, on its western limits. During the last summer he built two houses, each 21x130 feet, one for carnations and one for general stock. The Kroeschell heating system is in- stalled. Although some of the stock was given a slight setback, owing to the lateness of the completion of the houses, it is now exceptionally fine, says Mr. Rhodes. BEMOVINO SCALE FBOM PALMS. Will you please tell me of a quick and effective way of cleaning palins that are infested with a small black scale? When a boy, forty years ago, I used to wash the plants with soap, water and a sponge, and scrape off the scale with a wooden label. We do the same now, in the year of grace 1914. Is there no improvement on this tedious process? W. F. The old method of sponging the scale from palm leaves was a tedious process indeed, and most commercial growers have taken up the dipping method in- stead. Various soapy solutions are used as a dip. Some still use what is known as whale oil soap, while others use sulpho-tobacco soap. No single application will remove all scale insects from the plants without injury to the latter, and it is better to repeat the dipping several times at intervals of a week or ten days, using a solution of moderate strength, in ac- cordance with directions that come with these soaps. Protect the plants from sunshine after the dipping and lay them down on the bench until they drain off; then, unless the mixture is too strong or the foliage is extremely tender, no injury will be done to the plants. W. H. T. KENTIAS FBOM SEED. Please give-' me some instructions about ^he raising of kentia palms from sef^^. How should the soil be prepared for the seeds? What temperature is required? K. N. Kentia seeds may be sown in shallow boxes containing about three inches of light soil, or on a bench in the green- house. The seeds should be covered with about half an inch of the soil, and should at all times be" kept moist. The temperature should be maintained at 60 to 65 decrees at night, and if it runs up to 75 or 80 degrees in the daytime it will do no harm. The boxes or bench should have a good coat of whitewash before the soil is put in, as the seeds, or some of them, may lie in the ground several months before germinating. As soon as the seedlings have made their first leaf, they should be potted, well watered and placed in a shaded house, where the night temperature should be kept at 60 degrees as before. The seeds germinate irregularly, some showing in a few weeks, while others may not grow for many months; so it is best to resow the seeds that are dis- turbed by lifting the first seedlings, allowing the doubtful ones at least a year before discarding t^hem. .,...,.^' ' " - W. H. T. BULBS FOB EASTEB. Will you kindly tell me what time to take tulips and Von Sion daffodils into a carnation house held at 50 de- grees at night and 55 degrees in the daytime? I want them for Easter. G. H. Much, of course, depends on the Ba>- ture of the weather preceding Easter. As a rule three weeks in an average night temperature of 50 degrees will sufSce. If extremely warm weather prevails you may need to retard them a day or two. If extremely cold a lit- tle more heat might be necessary. C.

Two million dollars annually is spent to advertise Spearmint gum. This money sells five hundred million packages, making the cost of % of a cent per package for advertising. Now, if the net profit is only one-half of , the ad- vertising cost, it's a nice little best egg for one firm to enjoy annually — don't you think so? Such an output and such a profit is not possible without the aid of advertising. Now, there are about 20,000 florists in America and if everyone should con- tribute $100 per annum, the $2,000,000 obtained thereby, if similarly invested in publicity to sell flowers, would create such a demand that the present amount of greenhouse space would not accommodate ten p^r cent of the stock required to fill the orders. You may think this an exaggeration, but I think not. If that much money can induce Americans to wiggle their jaws and consume two billion five hun- dred million pieces of gum annually, what do you suppose it would do for the flower business? And everyone doesn 't chew gum either. If one firm can spend that much money per annum to advertise a luxury called gum I think it is about time some concerted action was taken by American florists to na- tionalize flowers. And in speaking of American florists, I include the Cana- dians, as I consider them part of us, and a part to be' proud of at that. Ralph M. Ward, HEAP son. TO STEADY TBEES. Replying to the inquiry of T. J. in The Review for December 10, in regard to the purpose of mounding soil around newly planted trees, some planters place a mound of earth around fall planted trees to steady them during the winter storms. Personally, I think a good stake is much better. Frederick C. Green, Supt. of Parks, Providence, R. I. REMEDY FOE WHITE FLY. I have read in The Review several times of remedies, for white fly, with which I have had a great deal of trouble in the past. They hang on the tomatoes and late beans outdoors, and when the weather turns cold they flock into the greenhouses. I grow snap- dragons and sweet peas to a large ex- tent, and upon these hydrocyanic acid gas seems to have an injurious effect. I have tried several of the tobacco in- secticides, but they failed. I have, how- ever, cleared the house several times with quassia bark. One ounce of bark is boiled in one gallon of water for about three hours. The liquid is then strained through a gauze, and with it is added double the quantity of water. This will make nearly three gallons of liquid, which is distributed through & fine spray. I have never noticed this spray do any harm to foliage or blooms. It seems that the odor, which hangs on the plants for some time, kills the eggs. -oj A. T. Vandegrift. EELWOBMS AND ROOT KNOT. Can you give me any information in regard to eelworms? Is there any chance of getting rid of them and what treatment would you recommend? The term "eelworm" seems to cover a gen- eral class. The worms to which we re- fer cause root knot and the name, I believe, is anguillidse. D. F. C. Eelworms in quantity are a difficult proposition to contend with, and any crop that is badly infested with them might better be thrown out. Applica- tions of lime to the soil may help some- what, but cannot be depended upon as a complete cure. The plants affected should be burned, and the soil in which they were growing should be removed from the greenhouse and spread »ut thinly outdoors, in order that it may be thoroughly frozen. Thorough freez- ing is said to kill these pests, which ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM. Can you give some information re- garding the culture of Allium Neapoli- tanum? I have heard that it can be forced and would like to know the time it takes for maturity; also, the tem- perature it requires. F. W. B. This allium may be grown outdoors or forced under glass. Use 6-inch pots or pans to force it in. It should not be subjected to any hard forcing, being much better in every way if brought along in an ordinary greenhouse tem- perature of 50 degrees at night. Pro- vided the bulbs were potted in October or November, they will flower early in March. If not yet potted they will be later. Bulbs kept out of the soil until now will not, of course, be equal to the earlier potted ones. The bulbs lose much of their vitality when kept out of the soil until so late a date as De- cember. Use a light, moderately rich soil and do not add any fresh manure, which is harmful to all bulbs. C. W. Fairfield, la, — E. H. Montgomery is making plans for the erection of two new greenhouses, each 34x100 feet. Representatives of Chicago construction concerns have been here estimating on the work. isi^tion ^nd Leg^ Decision: INDEFINITE CONTRACTS TO BUY. Application of the rule of law that there can be no enforceable contract of sale unless there is a direct meeting of minds of the parties on the essential terms of the sale, is well illustrated by the decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court in the case of Meeruwen vs. Swan- son, 121 Minnesota Reports 250. In this case it was held that there was no bind- ing contract for a sale of bulbs under the negotiations mentioned below: Plaintiffs lived in Holland and were engaged in growing and selling flower bulbs. One of them called on defendant in St. Paul to solicit an order for the ensuing season. Defendant told plain- tiff what bulbs he should want, and plaintiff made a triplicate list of them, and left one of the copies with defend- ant. The list was not signed, and prices were not fixed. The bulbs were to be grown the next year, and prices would depend on market conditions at that time. The next year plaintiffs sent de- , fendant one of their triplicate lists, with prices extended on most items, and asked, in the event that lower prices were quoted by others, that they be given a chance to meet the same. De- fendant replied that he had sold his florists' business to a corporation, and that he had turned * * this year 's orders ' ' over to that company, which would cor- respond with plaintiffs. Plaintiffs shipped the goods c^jvered by the list to the company in two shipments. The company received the first shipment, but refused the second. Plaintiffs then tendered the second shipment to de- fendant, and, on its being refused, sued for damages resulting from the non-ac- ceptance. S. INJURY TO STOCK IN TRANSIT. The following stated rules of law, which were lately announced by the South Dakota Supreme Court in the case of Dunlap vs. Great Northern Ry. Co., 148 Northwestern Reporter 529, will be found to apply to cases in which florists' stock or other perishable freight is in- jured in the course of transportation by rail: When a shipment is delivered in good order to a railway company for trans- portation to a point on another line, but arrives in a damaged condition, it will be presumed that the loss occurred on the line of the delivering railway com- pany, and the burden is on that company to disprove the fact. (It is to be re- membered, however, that, under the federal laws, a carrier which receives a shipment for through transportation to a point on another line in another state may be held responsible for loss occur- ring on connecting lines, as well as on its own road.) When a delivering carrier refuses to surrender the shipment without produc- tion of the bill of lading and that has been lost, and, pending the procuring of authority for release of the shipment, it is damaged through failure of the rail- way company to properly care for it, the company becomes liable to the owner of the freight.

I want them to be good for spring sales. H. E. Y. STOCK FOB SPBING SALES. I should like to have information as to the proper time for starting gera- niums from rooted cuttings for good -4- inch stock for spring. Suppose we wanted about equal quantities of 3-ineh and 4-inch. Could we take enough cut- tings for the smaller size from plants started at the time you state? In buying the cuttings would it be best to buy only what are wanted for 4-inch and de- pend on getting the smaller size from them? When should the cuttings for the 3-inch stock be taken? L. E. S. In order to have strong 4-inch geraniums for spring sales, the cuttings should have been inserted in Septem- ber or October. If you did not root any and are anxious to have such plants, I would advise you to- buy plants from 2-inch pots, from some specialist. For 3-inch plants, if your plants were of sufl&cient strength you could take the tops and root these in January. A better plan, however, would be to carry over some old stock plants in a bench. These would give you the necessary number of first-class cuttings. If you have no stock plants and your 4-inch plants are not of suf- ficient vigor, I would advise buying rooted cuttings early in February. C. W. EQUAL S. A. NUTT AS BLOOMEBS. In regard to the inquiry of S. E. C. in The Review for October 29 referring to white and pink geraniums which are equals of S. A. Nutt in blooming, I feel safe in saying that Mme. Buchner, white, and Mme. Barney, pink, come the nearest to S. A. Nutt in blooming quality of anything that I have ever seen. Three years ago, when I was in Washington, D. C, I found Mme. Bar- ney almost entirely used for bedding, on account of its dwarf growth and blooming quality. J. C. Thies. A SPOBT OF S. A. NUTT? I am sending by parcel post a gera- nium in bloom from a 214-inch pot, with some blooms of the same kind, and would like to have you tell me if it is a sport of S. A. Nutt or a standard variety. I have several thousands of this kind, and I should like to know whether it is a sport of Nutt or a standard variety, so that I can adver- tise the stock for sale. One cutting in a batch of S. A. Nutt produced a bloom much darker than Nutt, and I have grown it for three years and find that it holds its color well. I have grown it beside S. A. Nutt and can see no difference in foliage and growth. My trade chooses it even more than Nutt for bedding. It branches more freely, has more flowering buds and blooms earlier in the spring. I don't know whether this is a sport of Nutt or a cutting of another variety was mixed in the batch. I have tried to find a standard kind having the same deep shade of red, but have not been able to do so. Please examine it care- fully and give me your candid opinion of it. G. R. S. This vinca, or myrtle, as it often is called, is perfectly hardy, although sometimes the foliage will scorch where the plants have not had a winter mulch. I am not sure whether, in speaking of vines with roots, you refer to rooted cuttings in the propagating bench, or to outdoor shoots. Either may be potted up, but 21^ -inch pots are too small for them. Put these cuttings in 3-inch pots, or, if you prefer plants a trifle larger, you can put four or five cuttings in a 3 1^ -inch pot. Carried along in a cool greenhouse, these will become established and make nice plants for spring sales. C. W. Both flowers and plant were badly withered when received. The flowers are considerably darker than S. A. Nutt, but the foliage is certainly identical. Whether or not this is a sport I cannot say, nor can I name it from the speci- mens sent. If this sells well and is a first-class grower and bloomer, you should certainly propagate and adver- tise it. C. W. HABDY VINCAS. I am growing some grave myrtle and would like to know if I can pot up the vines that have roots, and how many TIME TO SOW SHAMBOCK SEED.

NOTES FROM FOREIGN BA>NDS Lyon, France. — The Societe Franc aise des Rosieristes has taken under consid- eration the question of renaming the varieties of roses now bearing German names. It has been decided that such action would not be advisable without the views of the rose societies of the allied and neutral nations first having been obtained. Sassenheim, Holland. — In spite of the troubles incident to the war, the winter cover was on the bulb fields in time and the bulb district has settled down to winter conditions. Reports through the growers' organization indicate that about the usual area has been planted for the 1915 crop, but the market out- look is not encouraging, buyers being unwilling to place orders as usual. Dedemsvaart, Holland. — B. Ruys has with him the two daughters of Jules Closon, proprietor of the concern of L. Jacob-Makoy & Co., of Liege, Belgium. He states that, when the bombs were bursting over Liege, Jules Closon and his family fled to Ostend and thence to Holland. Later the proprietor and his grandson went back to Liege, where they found their residences intact and only two out of thirty greenhoilses damaged by bombs, but the stock of palms and azaleas was almost destroyed. As it was impossible to get helpers, they had to repair damages themselves as best they tiould. It is quite diflBcult to get news from Liege, although affairs are quiet there. Naarden, Holland. — The last consign- ment of nursery stock for this autumn left our landing-place in November^ des- tined for America, being transhipped at Rotterdam. On the first signs of hos- tilities over Europe in August, our nurs- erymen were anxious as to the possibil- ity of executing their orders for the United States, but things have turned out quite satisfactorily. The city of Naarden is a stronghold and several nurseries are situated close to the forti- fications. As a precaution the military authorities have been bus^ with ground- works, causing a great disturbance and damage to the valuable nursery stock. Ghent, Belgium. — Although the green- house establishments in this vicinity have not suffered materially from the occupation of the country by Germans, the same is not the case financially. Exportations to northern Europe and North America have been about normal up to the present, but the war has halted all trade with central and southern Eu- rope. As a result, half, perhaps two- thirds, of the plants remain unsold. Begonia tubers, kentias, araucarias and phoenix are in large numbers. Enor- mous quantities of azaleas of all sorts and sizes remain in the greenhouses, but it will probably be impossible to sell more this year. As winter approaches, the scarcity of fuel becomes dangerous, and, of greater moment, the lack of funds to purchase coal. Many estab- lishments could be saved from total Tuin if they could find buyers for their plants. 18 The Florists' Review Decbmber 24, 1914. EVEBLASTINQ BENCHES. I should be greatly pleased to re- ceive some information through the columns of The Review concerning con- crete benches. Perhaps two years ago there was quite a stir about concrete benches, and everyone who could afford it seemed to be building benches of this material. I have heard lately that these concrete benches were no good for roses, carnations, etc., on account of holding the moisture too much on dark, dull days; also that they could not be built strongly enough to stand wear and tear. I have been told that those who have been using concrete for a couple of years are going back to the old stand-by, the pecky cypress bench. I must do some rebuilding at the close of this season and if concrete benches are a success I may put up some of them. On the other hand, if they are no good I want to be saved from mis- take. I have no doubt a lot of others could use some information on the sub- ject and it would be a good thing to start the ball rolling. M. B. S. Probably nowhere else in this coun- try have concrete benches been given so extensive a trial as at the Morton Grove establishment of Poehlmann Bros. Co., and Poehlmann 's built of pecky cypress last spring and will do so again in 1915. "But it is not that we had any fault to find with concrete," said Aug- ust F. Poehlmann when questioned about it. "We have grown good roses on concrete benches for years, just as good roses as we have grown on wood benches. We believe concrete is as good as wood for growing purposes, supposing, of course, that the construc- tion is right with both materials. One can have as much or as little drainage as he wants with concrete, the same as with wood. Our concrete benches are sectional and they give all the drainage we need and at the same time they stand wear." An inspection of some of the benches, now 3 years old, showed that here and there a few feet were a little out of line and that an occasional side mem- ber had a piece cracked out along the upper edge. "The reason for the breaks in alignment is that the posts were not set solidly enough. We made the parts ourselves, but the erection was done by the contractor who put up the houses. Where a post was set hastily, on a soft foundation, eventu- ally it sinks and lets the bench sag a bit. All it is necessary to do to cor- rect it is to lift the post an inch or so when the bench is empty at replanting time. The top edge of our side mem- ber was made a trifle thin; it was difficult to set the reinforcing material in the center of the slab. Where a piece has broken out it has in every case shown that the reinforcing rods were up against one side of the mold when the concrete was poured. Re- pairs are easy; one has only to fasten a piece of board along the outside edge and pour in enough concrete to fill up the broken edge. We have some mono- lithic benches of concrete, but we do not like these so well as the sectional ones." "But why didn't you build of con- crete last season; why are you buying pecky cypress for next spring?" Mr. Poehlmann was asked, "Don't actions speak louder than words?" "The rea- son we didn 't build of concrete last spring," he said, "was that we had no time to make the parts. Between the date we decided on building and the date we needed to start the benches we had no opportunity to mold the members; that is work for idle hours. This year we are rebuilding some old benches, nothing more, and we should like to use concrete if conditions were right. We like concrete and our only ob- jection to concrete benches is that even under the most economical manufacture the first cost is rather more than twice the cost of perfectly satisfactory cy- 2)ress benches that will last for y^rs. " With this it may fairly be aH^> as M. B. S. asks, that "the ball*' is started "rolling." The Review will be glad to receive the experience of other growers who have tried concrete for benches. stems near home at $8.50 per ton. Which would be of the greater value to the land — stems or manure? Would a ton of stems per acre be a good cov- ering, or would a greater quantity be required? The land is now in sod. I would apply the stems this fall and plow them down in the spring, for corn and asters. What is the principal ele- ment that the stems contain — potash, nitrogen or ammonia? Would chopped tobacco stems be good to add to the compost pile, along with manure made up in the spring, for carnation bench soil? W. R. D. According to Professor Voorhees, of the New Jersey Experiment Station, one ton of tobacco stems of good qual- ity contains nitrogen equivalent to the amount contained in 500 pounds of ni- trate of soda, and potash equivalent to the amount contained in 200 pounds of high-grade sulphate of potash. These two constituents are the chief fertiliz- ing properties contained in tobacco stems. The fertilizing value of stable ma- nure varies greatly, but has been esti- mated at about $2.25 per ton by somo authorities. A ton of tobacco stems would not go far on an acre, but it could be used to better advantage if the stems were run through a chopper be- fore .being spread upon the ground. Not having used tobacco stems in the com- post for carnations, I am unable to say what results could be expected from that mixture, but, according to the statement quoted above, one might rea- sonably expect to get some benefit from such a fertilizer. W. H. T. TOBACCO STEMS AS FEBTILIZEB. Can you give me the analysis of to- bacco stems as a fertilizer and state what is its value as compared witli stable manure?

A night temperatun* of 45 to 48 degrees suits them; it should not exceed 50 degrees in winter. Pink is the favorite color. Next in favor come white and yellow. There is little call for other colors and none at all for mixtures. C. W. MILLEPEDES. We are sending under separate cover some specimens of worms which we are unable to get rid of. We have tried almost every method of fumigat- ing. Please tell us what to do to kill them and what they are, as we have never seen them until this season. H. F. C. The worms are millepedes, sometimes called thousand-legs. Tobacco dust sprinkled on them will kill them. They can be poisoned by scattering corn meal dough, well sweetened and mixed with Paris green sufficiently strong to give it a greenish color. When in the soil they can be suflfocated by using bisulphide of carbon, which is a thin liquid which volatilizes at an extremely low temperature. Pour a teaspoonful into holes twelve to eighteen inches apart each way in the beds or benches. Immediately fill in the hole after pour- ing in the liquid. The fumes soon per- meate all the soil. As this carbon is inflammable, do not use any naked lights while applying it. C. W. MOTT-LY MUSINGS. W. Brown, of Mann & Brown, Eieh- mond, Va., says there is "one blamed pest after another to fight." In ad- dition to rust, the snapdragon has de- veloped spot, which is equally destruc- tive. Also, there is a mysterious visi- tor that deposits an egg in the calyx of the carnation, when or how has not been discovered, but the effect is seen when the bloom opens covered with a mildewy substance. As a considerable number are affected, this means serious loss. The plants could hardly be finer, especially their white seedling. The chrysanthemums at Thanksgiving were excellent and sold well. A complete line is in sight for Christmas. The poinsettias, cyclamens and azaleas are exceptionally good. Adolphus Gude, of Gude Bros. Co., Anacostia, D. C, still clings to Kil- larney, which certainly is still a good rose, and to Radiance, an excellent companion. Mrs. Russell will find a place here next season. Beauty is a perpetual success. Vacant space showed where the big crop of mums had gone to fill the Washington orders — only a few left. And now for Christmas, with a splendid lot of Be- gonia Glory of Cincinnati in sight and quantities of other good stock. John Welsh Young brought to the meeting of the Philadelphia Florists' Club, on the night of December 1, a shoot which some of the craft took for a sprig of acacia, but which was recog- nized by Commodore John Westcott as Daphne odorata, an old favorite plant, a hedge of which formerly grew about his greenhouses. The profound address given by Arthur A. Sheldon during the evening was productive of much comment by the club members. J. Otto Thilow remarked, "Full of meat." Adolph Farenwald said, "Closely re- THE MEN YOU MEET WILLIAM PITKIN. YOU all have heard of the "sea lawyer" — he isn't popular in nautical circles. Well, here's a nursery lawyer, just the antithesis of the other chap. Pitkin looks the lawyer, all right, and he knows so much nursery law that he has been chair- man of all the legislative committees that could catch him, for nobody knows how many years. About nine-tenths of his time must be spent showing recalcitrant legis- lators the error of their ways — a public work — but there still is leisure to shape the policies of Chase Bros. Co., of Rochester, where William Pitkin has acquired an experience c-i' the nursery business that makes him one of the best posted men in the trade. lated to affiliation." George ('.

The Robert Craig Co. intended send- ing down a delegation to the Philadel- phia club meeting, but the rush of shipping prevented. The recent lull is succeeded by good orders. Some stock, such as oranges and specimen cyclamens, are all marked "Sold." They are splendid plants. W. 1^1. HARTFORD, CONN. The Market.

But there wiil be a lot of things doing in between. Next comes Easter, April 4, 1915, which is early. But St. Valentine's day now serves as a stepping stone. The consensus of opinion among those engaged in other lines is that the begin- ning of the new year will see a con- tinued improvement in business, although it is believed normal conditions will not be reached for some time. This is the time of year we begin to hear about the contents of greenhouses being destroyed by the seepage of gas from broken street mains. These losses always come when the ground freezes solid except under greenhouses. As the days begin to lengthen the cold is supposed to strengthen, but the growers have had to burn so much coal in December that it seems as though the backbone of the winter must have been broken with the passing of the shortest day, which also is one of the busiest days for florists. The Gardeners' Chronicle, the lead- ing English gardening journal, with its issue of December 5 distributed a col- ored plate of a xjaraation that it called Wells' Champion. It was, of course, Dorner's Champion, Wells being the British agent. The picture was excel- lent, but the color was not quite true, containing ratlier more yellow than it should. EEADY MONEY.

Florists can join with those who re- joice over the advance in freight rates granted the railroads last week. While the action of the Interstate Commerce Commission adds its mite to the cost of living for each of us, the commission excepts the one commodity on which florists pay large sums of money for freight — that's coal. The freight rate on the commodities con- sumed in quantities by other industries go up, but the rates on coal stay where they are. It puts us in the position of the man who could view with equanimity the mishaps that befell his wife's relations. IT DOESN'T PAY! A gentleman not a florist who some years ago invested some money in a greenhouse establishment, which he has since run with a hired manager, re- marked to The Review the other day that he would like to sell out, as "it doesn't pay any more." On inquiry, it appeared the return on the investment this year will not exceed twelve to fifteen per cent! The Review would like to know of another line in which an investment would pay as well, considering that the investor gives little personal attention. It must be this party is more successful than the average absentee owner of greenhouse property. TO COBBESPONDENTS.

Every now and then someone ex- presses surprise that The Review should "take the trouble" to answer so painstakingly as it does the large num- ber of inquiries received. But ex- perienced newspaper men know that the number of letters of inquiry an editor gets is the best possible index to the standing he has with his people and of the value of his paper as an advertising medium. Consequently, you do an editor a favor when you write him a letter, and the care he takes with his reply is only the evidence of whether or not he appreciates your confidence. This is how: I want to thank yon for the valuable Informa- tion you sent me concerning the extermination of the white fly.

One does not expect a high degree of activity in the market the week before Christmas, so it was taken as a matter of course that last week's business was only moderately heavy. The supply of stock was much greater than it ordi- narily is in the corresponding week of the year. Usually the penultimate week before Christmas sees a short supply and steadily stiffening price9> with some scrambling for stock. This was not the case this year. With the ex- ception of a few novelties never in large supply, there was an abundance of stock for the demand. Saturday brought a somewhat more active con- dition, the ordinary business being strengthened by a number of shipping orders that apparently were planned to get in just before Christmas prices took effect. Relative to the demand, this market never has had so large a Christmas sup- ply as is the case this year. The open- ing of the week found the situation Dbcembbb 24, 1914.

WRITK, WIRE OR PHONS. ■Mention The Review when you write. somewhat complex. Including Mon- day's mail, the number of out-of-towr. orders for shipment this week is as large as ever has been the case at Christmas. But it is the almost unani- mous report that the orders are not so large as usual, nor do the prices in most cases range so high as ordinarily is the case. A large percentage of the buyers appear to have been uncertain as to the outcome and consequently or- dered only a part of their usual require- ments. Seemingly, tbey intend to play safe, engaging moderate quantities of stock and relying on late telegraph or- ders should business make additional supplies necessary. Also they have cut down on the number of flowers of high- est quality, ordering a larger proportion of the medium-priced grades. As this condition became apparent the wholesalers naturally began to get nervous. They cannot yet foresee the finish. There is general confidence that the run of late telegraph orders will break all records, just as was the case at Thanksgiving. If this expectation fails to be realized, the market, instead of stiffening, as many expect, will weaken as the closing hours of the Christmas rush draw near. At the time of going to press, December 23, the market is strong, as it always is on the heavy shipping days — there is too much work getting out shipping or- ders to permit much discussion with local buyers, whose turn comes after the shipments are on the rail. The situation in the eastern markets as regards Beauties has had a pro- nounced effect here. Eastern houses have been willing to ship Beautjes here cheaper than they ever before have been sold in this market for Christmas. The result has been to depress the value of the local stock. Some houses feel that they can clean up at $10 to $12 per dozen and are refusing to meet the quotations from the east, but others are willing to meet the quantity buyer half way. As a result long Beau- ties in lots of 100 or more have sold as low as $65, with the end not in sight. The market is heavily supplied with roses and the color of Killarney has improved to the point where gen- eral satisfaction should result. A large part of the rose stock is thin in the stem and some trouble is antici- pated on this account. It is com- mented that Russell is not so popular as was expected; the buyers as a body are deterred by the price; they would clean it up in a minute at the same price asked for other roses. Hadley is in better shape than heretofore and the moderate supply will be taken up quickly. Chicago never has had so many Bichmonds as this Christmas; the orders principally call for the medium grades. Ward seems relatively the scarcest of roses. Carnations are in large supply and there seems no likelihood that any or- ders will be shipped short unless too little time is allowed. Poinsettias are abundant, but not so plentiful as last year. Cattleyas are the scarcest item. Violets are not in large supply, com- pared to some other years, but there seems no scramble for them. Stevia is everywhere. There are not many sweet peas. Paper "Whites are in heavy supply and there is enough valley, lilies and all the miscellaneous flowers to take care of any business now in sight. In accordance with a forecast in this column three weeks ago, boxwood turned scarce last week. Shippers in Virginia in some cases took the trou- ble to explain that the weather was too bad for the cutters, but some simply did not fill orders and said never a word. Consequently some wholesalers found themselves hard put to it to take care of their customers and any box- wood not needed for orders became worth the best price of the season. Bouquet green cleaned up last week with a snap that stung some of those who were not watching. On a steadily falling market, some dealers sold out. rwau}.'^ ttjr^f- 9-„- ''•■\. •-?■•' V.s5--' • December 24, 1914.

For late orders at fair values green was brought from the woods by express. Good holly has been none too plen- tiful during the last few days, but there has been a great deal of it that never could have been sold except for the fact that there are, apparently, plenty of people who consider what they pay without a thought as to what they got.

President-elect Keimel has set on foot another movement for the consolidation of the two local florists' organizations. The Freight on Coal. Growers who heard the news enjoyed a chuckle last week when the Interstate Commerce Commission gave the rail- roads the right to advance freight rates on everything except coal — they won't have to help the railroads out of their hole. It would have meant a lot to some of the big growers who use Poca- hontas, had the rate, now $2.10 per ton, been boosted another five per cent, or over 10 cents per ton. Note the following from the Black Diamond of October 31: "Peter Reinberg is en- deavoring to be elected president of the county board and thinks his can- didacy should be favorably received by coal men, as he uses 40,000 tons of coal every year in his greenhouses. What candidates for office can make- a better claim for the votes of coal men than that?" Last year Mr. Reinberg, George Reinberg, J. A. Budlong and other grow- ers whose coal goes to the Summerdale station on the Northwestern, secured an order of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, giving them the Chicago dis- trict rate, $2,05 per ton from the West Virginia mines, plus 5 cents switching charges. It saved the growers 20 cents per ton and they have started action to secure the refund of the overcharge for several years. Now, however, the car- riers have filed a new tariff in which they seek to assess 25 cents a ton on coal from mines in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, to cer- tain north and west side stations on the Northwestern railway in the Chi- cago switching district. The commis- sion has suspended the tariff pending an investigation. The statement is made by Rutter & Co. that the rates were ad- vanced at the request of the North- western, which will receive 40 cents as - <^-; «T v^ ' •.^t/'^'.'^tt" (■''r -iwr^^^f^ ■ 26 The Florists' Review Dbcembeb 24, 1914.

Various Notes. The American Eose Society has de- clined the invitation to hold its next meeting and exhibition in Chicago. It has been decided to meet in Boston, March 25 to 28. N. J. Wietor says he is well satisfied with the Christmas orders and consid- ers the prices, except on Beauties, will average as good as those his house re- ceived last year, the stock grading high. Gas from a leaking main has caused considerable damage at the establish- ment of N. J. Kruchten, Berwyn and "Western avenues. Before the leak could be located the gas had spread through the entire range. It seems that owing to the frozen ground the leaking gas seeped through the earth and rose to the surface in the green- houses, heavily damaging everything in the place, especially sweet peas and carnations. There are over 35,000 car- nation plants in the houses. The Kruchten range consists of seven houses, about 50,000 square feet of glass. Heinz & Schwinnen are among the carnation growers who are not com- plaining and who, when they paid 1915 subscription to The Review, could pro- duce nothing smaller than a lO-doUar bill. Out on North Western avenue they operate 20,000 feet of glass, all in carnations, and have had good cuts and good quality. E. H. Blameuser will disseminate his new carnation, Cerise Winsor, this sea- son, through his agents, the A. L. Randall Co. He sent out Joy last sea- son.

John Michelsen spent December 17 visiting business connections of the E. C. Amling Co. at Richmond and Indian- apolis. Anton Then will celebrate his sixtieth birthday anniversary Christmas day. The steady increase in the demand for roses, somewhat at the expense of carnations, is noted by A. L. Vaughan, who says Christmas orders ran stronger on roses than ever before.

Carnations are not paying so well as roses, in the experience of Peter Heir- ens. At his place in Rogers Park he displaced part of his carnations this season and is so well pleased with re- sults that he plans to put the entire es- tablishment into Killarney, White Kil- larney and Richmond for next season. Charles Zapfe, 372 East Sixty-first street, was painfully injured in an un- usual accident on the night of Decem- ber 16. He was walking west on Ran- dolph street when, as he started to cross La Salle street, a rope trailing from a passing Wells-Fargo wagon became en- twined around his ankle, dragging him twenty or thirty feet. Mr. Zapfe is barely able to hobble around, but luck- ily there were no bones broken. For next season's planting at New- castle, F. J.

Wendland & Keimel, who have cut lightly during the autumn, had their range in unusually full crop for Christ- mas. Mr. Keimel says it was the larg- est crop they ever cut in. winter. Homeyer & Haberkamp, at Mt. Pros- pect, 111., who grow carnations for this market, are planning a dissolution of partnership. The range consists of two houses and is not large enough for two. There are obstacles to building additional houses on the present site, 80 plans are on foot for one partner to continue the business and for the other to build next spring a separate range at a new location. Twenty-one thousand Eichmond, De- cember 18, was the start of Peter Eein- berg's Christmas cut, which Felix Keichling says they expect to run up to 125,000 of this one variety by the afternoon of December 24. Herbert Stone, formerly with A. Lange and later with the Bohannon Floral Co., is now a member of the staff of the Atlas Floral Co. John Mangel says that up to Decem- ber 22 he had not been so successful booking orders for Beauties at $12 as he was last year at $15. It is reported James Novak will go into business for himself in the spring, on the completion of his two years' contract with the Weber estate, where he is running the houses on shares.

Anderson is pleased with the way orders came in for the Christ- mas plants. Although they grew three times as many as last year, they sold just as quickly as last year's plants. While there are quite a few fine plants left, it is expected they will soon be cleaned up. August Poehlmann says that he expects a wide distribution of their two new mums, Miss Pauline An- derson and Miss Marvella French, the former a late yellow and the latter a late white, both sports of Chadwick. Alex. Henderson says that if collec- tions were only a little easier he per- sonally would be well pleased with the 1914 business showing. In spite of the disturbances of the last five months, the turnover for the year has been the largest yet made. Growers are in many cases having trouble getting fertilizers. On account of the foot and mouth disease, the stock yards have been permitted to ship only paunch manure and growers in thickly populated districts cannot use this be- cause of the stench. Paul Klingsporn, the genial manager of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- ciation, says he likes the Chicago sys- tem much better than the system in vogue in Philadelphia, where the re- tailers do most of their buying by tele- phone, with the result that wholesaler and retailer do not meet often. This is in strong contrast to the local method, where the buyers are seen on the mar- ket day after day, which keeps the two branches of the trade in much closer touch. According to N. P.

Carl Bachler, 3599 Archer avenue, says his business is improving steadily and reports a good gain over last year. Mr. Bachler now is using two automo- biles for business purposes. The Star Brass Works, makers of the Binks sprayers, used by many florists, has just finished an active road cam- paign and reports business good. John T. Muir now does his own buy- ing, spending quite a little time on the market, but for the rest of the day, early and late, is to be found at his store on Grand boulevard near Forty- seventh street, where all his interests have been centered since he sold his two other stores.

E. Lapes, of Cedar Kapids, la., was a visitor at the store of Hoerber Bros. December 21, reporting business as good, with prospects bright for Christ- mas. M. Rocklin, of Rocklin & Lehman, Sioux City, la., was in town December 21, buying Christmas stock. He says Iowa florists would not know half the world is at war if the newspapers did not say so. Business is good. The Christmas decoration at the Hotel La Salle was put up December 21. The work was done by the Geo. "Wittbold Co., the finishing touches put on by Geo. H. Pieser, the hotel florist. C. L. Washburn says it is hard to decide which of the two boxes, wood or corrugated fiber, is the most satisfac- tory for shipping. He says for long distance shipping, especially where the order is large, it is best to use the wood box, but where the order can be packed in a 30-inch box, or smaller, the fiber is the best. The one objection that most shippers have to the fiber box is its way of buckling, when the water from the inelting ice soaks into it. W. W.

Everyone, both wholesaler and re- tailer, has been preparing for the holi- day rush. Azaleas, poinsettias, primu- las, etc., are plentiful in the market. Begonia Lorraine, cyclamens, ericas and a few other choice sellers for this season are brought in from out of town. Ferns and foliage plants of all kinds far ex- ceed the demjtnd for them. The stores are in holiday attire, but the owners have not been quite so optimistic about the Christmas business as in other years. However, it is hard to tell what the out- come will be, especially in regard to cut flower sales, as florists here are the last merchants to be patronized by the shop- pers, the rush coming as a rule in the last two days. The cold wave which we experienced December 15 and 16 brought the temper- ature down to 27 degrees, but beyond killing thousands of poinsettias in the various gardens of the city, it did little damage. We are about at the height of the social season, but it must be truthfully stated that the florists as a whole are not doing the same amount of business as in other years. The French Opera House has opened its doors for a season of grand opera lasting until the car- nival, and the resumption of horse rac- ing will take place January 1; both of these will no doubt bring hundreds of -,-j i-^-T'- ^f ■■-•.: ■ '^jvrjiirrirny '•"jir't ■■'■" fi^f^^f » 'v RutI^w wb^n roB wrlf. visitors, particularly money - spending people, to the winter capital of the south.

After the routine business had been disposed of^ Secretary Panter introduced J.

Mr. Flemming spoke of the benefit to be derived by the Ipcal florists, as well as those of the rest of the state, from a collective exhibit at Frisco, showing what this city and state can produce in the line of horticulture. His talk was listened to with great interest, and be- fore the meeting had closed several flo- rists present signed their names as pros- pective exhibitors.

H, NEW TOBK. The Market. Last week was similar, in its develop- ments, to every week preceding the Christmas holidays in the New York cut flower market. Dullness prevailed. The only life indicated was in the book- ing of advance orders. These were" about up to the volume of other years in quantity, but a. disposition to econ- omize in values was everywhere in evi- dence. Shipments last week were about equal to the demand. Toward the close, there were some accumulations of roses, which the large buyers obtained at bar- gain rates. The demand for the long- stemmed teas is less than for the No. I's and 2's. These were absorbed on arrival, and there were not enough of them at any time to create a surplus. American Beauties are especially fine in quality, and the supply is none too great for the demand. Cattleyas were eagerly sought for on Saturday. Prices are improving. The selected flowers are not abundant. Of cypripediums and the medium and smaller cattleyas, there is a great suffi- ciency. Gardenias are improving both in length of stem and flower, and values are now at the usual level at this sea- son. Valley is abundant and prices lower. Lilies have probably reached Kansas City's Supply Hoiy^ e Complete line of Florists' Sup- plies, as well as Cut Flowers. Consignments are coming in heavy. Shipping orders given special attention.

The red ones have their usual advance, but no unreasonable ad- dition to legitimate prices is possible. Prices last week were low for carna- tions, the best of them at times selling down to $20 per thousand. There is a splendid supply of mums for Christmas, excellent in quality, es- pecially Rosette and Golden Chadwick. Violets seem to have taken a new lease of life and are again growing in pop- ularity, if one may judge by the im- provement in prices last week; 75 cents per hundred was the quotation Saturday evening. Of hyacinths, narcissi, lilac, daisies, sweet peas, mignonette and pansies, there is enough and to spare. There is an evident oversupply of smilax and asparagus.

PTTTT.AnT!T.PTTTA. The Market.. There is a spirit of unrest that pre- vails in the cut flower market in sym- pathy with the times. Advance orders are fewer than is usual before Christ- mas; buyers are holding off until the last moment, confident that the stock can be obtained when needed. They urge the democracy, the conflagration and other potent reasons for lower prices. Prices, by this is meant asking prices, are lower than usual at this season. The indications point to a large supply of roses, the m«8t impor- tant flowers at Christmas, and probably to a large supply ^ carnations and violets, although they are less certain. All other flowers, with the exception of snapdragon, will be in fair supply. Business for the week preceding Christmas was fair, with prices low. Christmas greens have been unusually good and have sold remarkably well in the wholesale market, boxwood sprays and holly especially so. A Plnnge in Bulbs.

This amounts in round figures to 250,000 bulbs, mostly La Beine, say 100,000, and Darwin tulips. It is understood that Mr. Alwine intends forcing all these bulbs for the cut fiow^r market. Part are expected to go to Berger Bros., the local commission men, and part to an- other city, which is understood to be Pittsburgh. This is the largest single transaction in bulbs, it is believed, since Alfred M. Campbell laid in a quarter of a million Paper Whites at ColUngdale. |M^«i 'Vlif^f^T ^T^lt^'' '■T t Dbcember 24. 1914.

Mention The Rerlew when yon write. Live Topics. George D. Clark discussed two sub- jects of interest in the handsome store of Henry A, Dreer, Inc. Mr. Clark laid stress on the importance of florists get- ting in their seed orders early in these troublous times, not thinking that all that is necessary is to put the order in at one end of the slot, as it were, and take the seeds out at the other end, but allowing the seedsmen time to get the seeds to them. Seedsmen, Mr. Clark said, cannot grow all their own seeds in these days; they must gather their stock from the corners of the globe, wherever the variety wanted thrives best. "Take, for instance," he con- tinued, "our seed specialist at River- ton; he gathers seed there at the mo- ment it is fit. So too at Biverview and at Locust farm. He cleans it on a rainy day and gets it to the seed house when it is ready. That is just the way it is done in Europe. They take their time to do it properly and will not hurry. This is especially true this sea- son. We expect to have," Mr, Clark continued, "all the flower seeds, but I would advise florists to get their or- ders in early. There may possibly be a shortage in verbenas and in scarlet sage, although this is not certain," "The bulb season," Mr, Clark said, "has been a good one with us. Some bulbs are left over in the general mar- ket, due, it is thought, to consignments from Holland sent in excess of or- ders. There are some odd in- stances about bulbs. You know we order the quantity of each variety we think we will require, taking an aver- age of the sales of four or five years as a guide. Our normal consumption of Narcissus poeticus is about ^,000 a year. I do not mean N. poeticus oma- tus, but the old poeticus. A sportsilaan of international fame once ordered 25,000 poeticus to be planted in his woods. We filled the order and ever since then, for some unexplained reason, our sales have averaged about 50,000 poeticus each year, although this buyer has not ordered since. Another strange in- stance is that of a florist who bought 3,000 Murillo tulips for forcing. They bloomed white. He claimed they were La Candour and asked for the difference in price, amounting to $25. I suggested that Murillo would come white with too much heat. He looked up his boxes thrown outside and found second flow- ers that were pink on nearly all the bulbs. He admitted his error in a manly way." < ■>'' Various Notes.

The idea is excellent and the effect charming. Walter Stroh, of Batavia, was in town December 16. He reports that business is good with him and that he expects a big Christmas trade. Joseph Streit's poinsettias are excel- lent this year, and the large ones bring a fancy price. S. A. Anderson had the Christmas decorations for the Westminster and the Delaware Avenue M. E. church. Charles Hochreiter assisted at the An- derson stores during the holiday rush. J. Benson Stafford's front window was broken when the iceman conceived the idea of a short cut from the wagon to the refrigerator. A beautiful Christ- mas display of plants, etc., had just been staged in the window, and, since the temperature was low, the window, which was a large plate-glass one, had to be cove/ed with a large oriental rug to keep otft'the cold. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Taylor were presented with a bouncing 8-pound boy December 18. The mother is getting along nicely and Palmer Taylor is a most happy father. The trade extends its congratulations. Palmer's branch store had the decora- tions for the Sogers dinner danqej^-De- cember 23, and for various other «ocial functions for the holiday Reason. Harold Taylor, formerly with Pal- mer's branch store, is now with Blacki- stone, at Washington, D. C, having gone there from Detroit, Mich. M. C. Ford, of New York city, was in town December 16. L. H. Neubeck is doing a big plant business during the holidays. E. C. A. KNOXVrLLE, TENN. The Market. The weather continues dark, cloudy and cold, with a heavy snowfall. The temperature was as low as 2 degrees below zero for several days last week and the weather was the coldest expe- rienced here for several years. The florists have been busy making prepar- ations for Christmas, but not busy with present trade, as everything has been quiet. Had it not been for several dances and receptions in the latter part of the week, the sales would not have amounted to much. On account of the recent cloudy weather, the Christmas Boxwood Branches The Pick of Old VlrKlnia bright, clean stock, no surplus wood. Packed in burlap bags, containing 25 pounds, $3.00 per bag. Correspondence invited. H. AUSTIN, Feltn, Del. Wild Smilax Ready for shipment, $2.00 per case; half case, $1.25. Heavy-berried Holly, $2.00 per case. Wire or write. H. L. Thompson & Co.^ali£kr.'iif: supply of cut flowers will be rather short. The supply of plants, such as azaleas, cyclamens, begonias, hyacinths, narcissi, etc., is good, and it is hoped that a great many of these can be sold instead of cut flowers. Various Notes. C. W. Crouch has one of the finest lots of poinsettias ever seen in Knox- ville. He also has an -excellent assort- ment of azaleas and other plants. Mrs Bosa Hall Byno has a surplus of poinsettia plants, which she is dis- posing of in the wholesale market. C. L. Baum is cutting ' a large crop of choice, carnations and will have a good supply of red carnations for Christmas. He also has a nice lot of plants, especially azaleas. ^ A. H. Dailey reports business good for the last week. He is ready and wait- ing for the, Christmas rush. Addison J. McNutt anticipates a good Christmas business, although trade for the last week has been rather dull. Orders for Christmas delivery have been coming in fast. B. E. M.

The Market. Business during the week before Christmas was disappointing. We had low temperatures throughout the week, but the skies were clear. Buying, how- ever, was spasmodic and entirely lacked the animation usual to the week before the great festival. The present week opens with a little more activity, but at the time of writing nothing in the nature of a boom seems likely and prices will average considerably lower than a year ago. Roses are in large supply, but move slowly. The best Beauties are being held at $60 per hun- dred for the holidays. A few may touch $9 per dozen, but that probably will be the limit. Best quality flowers" made $30 to $50 last week. A large crop of Richmond and Hadley is avail- able and prices on these are advancing a little. Ophelia continues a prime favorite, also Russell, Shawyer, Mock, Sunburst and Ward. Killarney and White Killarney sell mostly at $2 to $10 per hundred. Carnations sold at $3 to $4 all last week and are not climbing as had been anticipated. A good crop is available. Violets are not blooming freely and will be worth from $1 to $1.50 per hun- dred. Sweet peas are overabundant and not selling as well as a month ago.

Business done in evergreens, wreaths and festooning is heavy; in fact, many of the retailers are doing more in this than in cut flowers and plants. Pot plant trade is fair, but falls be- low the average of previous years. The cold weather from December 12 to 18 restricted sales and shipping, but grow- ers are all hoping for milder condi- tions nearer Christmas. Azaleas, cycla- mens, begonias and poinsettias are the four leaders in popularity. Various Notes. L. D. Small, of Tewksbury, is our champion grower of bachelor's buttons. Many of his flowers are shipped to New York by his salesman, Walter Holden. Mr. Small has extra good Champion, White Wonder, Pink Delight and Bea- con carnations also. John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, had the first Golden Spur narcissi in the market December 19. Mr. Fee says he cut the flowers just three weeks after placing the plants in heat. He has just cut the last of his cold storage lilies and will have no more lilies until near Easter. H. Kolow, Who enlarged his store at 167 Summer street some weeks ago, says business is remarkably good. He is having a large sale on some special Orders solicited foi all parts of Connecticiift Hartford Com.

BAUMER MASONIC TEMPU Member Florists' Telegraph Dellyery Aw'n in Boston December 18, adopted a list of prizes for roses in pots or tubs. The classes for cut blooms will be arranged later. It has been practically decided to hold the annual meeting and exhibi- tion in Boston, March 18 to 21, 1915, in connection with the spring show of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety. W. P. Eich, Sec'y. PITTSBUBGH. The IMarket. When Pittsburgh awakened Monday morning, December 14, everything was covered with a beautiful mantle of snow, and the next three nights the thermometer registered 2 degrees be- low zero. The weather moderated slightly until Saturday, when we had a whole day of cold rain. The effect of the cold weather on trade was bad, as the change was so sudden that peo- ple kept to the house. Plantsmen suf- fered, because it was risky to try to ship plants with even the most careful packing. But with the cold we had plenty of sunshine and the growers of out flowers will have no complaints, as the sunshine put the color into the roses. The local growers will have the largest and finest cut of Christmas flow- ers in their experience. The wholesalers have not experienced the usual before-Christmas shortage. There has been plenty of everything except lilies, which seem to shorten up some. Roses, carnations, lilacs, Bomans, Paper "Whites and Beauties never seemed so plentiful at this season of the year. Prices have not shown much of an advance; in fact, it will be sur- prising if any fancy prices are asked for Christmas stock, as all realize that in order to sell stock it will be neces- sary to keep the prices down. Box- wood is good and is pretty well cleaned up in this market; the bad weather kept the late shipments from coming in. Wild smilax, holly and all kinds of green goods are being sold at low prices by the commission men.

Iiocated In the center of business district. trees have been moving slowly up to this time; many men who are out of employment will forego that luxury. Various Notes. The Eastern Star Home Association conducted a business men's carnival for the benefit of the home. The A. W. Smith Co. and C. Godwin & Sons each put on an act in which they were rep- resented by young girls. Both acta were creditable to the firms. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. will have a large cut of roses, carnations, orchids and yellow daisies for Christ- mas. Their houses look most promising for a good January crop. Eandolph & McClements have been pushing the plant business this season with great success. The fine line of novelty plant basket effects which they have been showing surely must make this their banner plant year. They say the cut flower end will push itself. The A. W. Smith Co. got into the show business on its anniversary and cannot get out of the habit. The firm has been keeping the store right up to the special-day standard ever since, with beautiful blooming plant arrange- ments. This week some special poin- settia plants are attracting attention. Mrs. E. A. Williams started the week with a full stock of novelty plant ar- rangements, which will undoubtedly disappear by Thursday, when cut flow- ers will reign supreme. G. P. Weaklen & Co. have their con- servatory filled with many Christmas plant arrangements, leaving the store room for the smaller novelty effects in plants and cut flowers. The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. has its shop filled with Christmas wreaths of every material you can think of, as well as blooming plants. This firm's large funeral trade always demands a large stock of cut flowers. The Ludwig Floral Co. has the store so full of pretty things that one would wonder how half of them could be disposed of. The cut flower depart- ment is busy with funeral work. The Blind Floral Co. has its usual SCHRAMM BROS.

BENEKE, OUv Streat large display of azaleas, begonias, ferns, heather and red-fruited plants, which will occupy moat of the attention until Wednesday, when the cut flower dis- plays will be more elaborate and plants will have to take a back seat. Bay Daschbach's Christmas trade runs largely to novelties as ,a rule and this season is no exception. Some pretty effects in flower baskets are in his window every day. Miss E. B. Maxwell, of "Wilkinsburg, will have her new automobile working tbis week. Her trade now requires two liiachines to deliver the pretty plant arrangements ^lUd other Christmas re- quirements. Miss Nellie G, King is also busy try- ing to keep up with the orders that are coming in. For her first Christmas, it is exceeding her expectations. William Turner finds that each Christ- mas his trade increases so that he can- not figure his order from the previous year, but must increase it each year. Clarke. ST. LOUIS ' The Market Last week, as is usual just before Christmas, the supply of cut flowers was greatly reduced. The demand also decreased, as business generally is slow at this time. The prices of carnations, violets and sweet peas were considera- bly higher. This week the receipts of carnations and roses should be heavy. According to the wholesalers, prices will be high on fancy stock. Fancy Beauties will be scarce; so, also, will sweet peas; there is no telling how high prices will go on these. Violets, too, will be limited in supply this year. The recent dark, cloudy weather un- doubtedly has caused these conditions. There will be the usual good supply of valley, Komans and Paper Whites, with hardly any advance in prices. Cut poinsettias will be in great demand, judging from the advance orders re- CHAS.

SAN FRANCISCO ceived by the wholesalers. All greens, such as asparagus, adiantum and smilax, will meet with a heavy call. The capacity of the boilers of the greenhouse men was taxed last week, as the outside temperature for a few days was close to zero. i Various Notes. December 18 a fire broke out in the establishment of George B. Windier, on Delore avenue, causing serious damage to Christmas stock. Fire started in the sheds in the rear of the greenhouses, destroying the sheds completely and burning the ends of the houses. The boiler sprang a leak and coal oil stoves were put in use at once, thus saving the blooming plants from freezing, but the stock for cutting was greatly damaged by smoke and cold. Mr. Windier says the damage can hardly be estimated as yet. M. Eggeling, who does business at Grand and La Fayette avenues, has opened a branch store at Berlin and Skinker avenues. This is in the ex- treme west end, which will soon be well supplied with flower stores. Sam Seligman, representing Wer- theimer Bros., New York, called on the trade last week. Fred H. Meinhardt, the Koenig Floral Co. and John Nyflot, who have places near the big cemeteries, are putting in a busy week with advance orders for Christmas grave decorations. A. S. Cerny, of Kirkwood, says there will be no sweet peas for Christmas, as the dark, cloudy weather has caused the buds to drop oflF. Arthur Ellison, who is now with O'- Leary the Florist, at Grand and Lucas avenues, says they have had a splendid run of trade so far this month. The debut of Miss Clara Busch,* daughter of August A. Busch, the mil- lionaire brewer, caused a big demand for flowers. The decorations were elab- orate and were furnished by Mr. Jan- sen, the private gardener for the Busch family.

Now it's time to rusii tlie catalogues. With ttie greens and other Christmas specialties out of the way, the real seed season may be said to have arrived. The seed catalogues .so far to hand, while they show possibly more variation than usual, are almost a unit in advanc- ing the prices of beans and reducing tte prices of peas. The European seeds are coming along at a rate that is not greatly different from other years and war risks insurance has fallen to one-half to seven-eighths of one per cent. The January magazines never carried so little seed trade advertising as those coming to hand for 1915. The trade turns more and more every year to the use of special publications of rural char- acter. Several of the seed catalogues issued ilt central cities make capital of the parcel post, emphasizing the fact that the zone rates make it an object to buy important quantities of seeds where the postage rates are lowest. It is reported the American branch of Van Waveren & Kruijff, Sassenheim, Holland, was left with approximately 250,000 bulbs on its hands, about 100,- 000 of which were La Reine. These have just been cleaned up to a Philadelphia florist for forcing. One of the points in which the cata- logue men appear to have laid up more or less trouble for themselves, according as their orders come, is in providing for postage on pints and quarts. Formerly the wrappings added only a penny to the postage, but now when a net pound is wrapped the zone rate postage must be paid as for two pounds.. W. G. Carleton, for ten years vice- president of the Prank S. Piatt Co., of New Haven, Conn., together with Morris B. Clark, a nephew of Mr. Piatt, has purchased the business of the Park & Pollard Co., at 46 Canal street, Boston, and is conducting a general business in seeds, tools, poultry, etc., under the uame of the Carleton- CI ark Co. Pet ani- Lmals and birds and aiymafc for circuses and zoBlogical gardens form a branch ' of the business. "BEMIT FOB POSVAQE."

It says: "We pay post- age on all seeds up to and including quarter pounds; the prices quoted on larger quantities do not include postage and your remittance should cover the amount of postage. ' ' On a page with a table of zone rates it is said: "In or- dering a pound of seed, remit postage enough for two pounds, as the packing will make it run over the pound limit. We cannot quote postpaid prices on larger amounts than one-fourth pounds, as you can readily see it would work an injustice to our nearby customers if we were to include sufficient in the price to cover orders from' distant points. When figuring the amount to send us, please include the mailing charges, as it must Vk paid in advance. The gov- ernment has not provided for the collec- tion of mailing charge on delivery. If in doubt as to what amount is required for any order, you are perfectly safe in enclosing even more than you think necessary, for we will ship by the most economical method and will return to you any amount that is left over." PLACE FOB THE DISOLAIMEB. We note the correspondence in The Review about the use of the disclaimer. When reading this, it occurred to the writer that all retail seed stores that use cash registers should have the dis- claimer printed on th^ back of each cash register ticket that goes with the sale. All paper bags that we use for putting up seed for retail, local or mail-order packages have the disclaimer printed thereon, and a slip is put into each bag showing the variety, and right below this the disclaimer also is printed. Nearly all seedsmen have their bags printed, either burlap or cloth. When purchasing large quanti- ties, the printing cost is little, and the disclaimer could also be^ printed on the cloth bags. It would seem that having it displayed in this way on every pack- age of seed that goes out, as well as on : letter heads, receipts and bill heads, i would cover the situation fully. We have often had local customers ask -TO THK TIIAOB- HFIIRY IIFTTr QUedunburg, Germany llfcllll I Ifib I I L^ (EstaMlslMd In 1784) ■^^■^■^^ aROWm and EXPOimPI M tiM VMv larcMt seal* af ■■ CHOICE VEGETADftE, FLOWER and EAijiM SEEDS , SPKCULTIKSi Bmm, Beets, Cabbages.

RUSCONl, Merry Christmas sounds good for the reason that it only comes once a year and is a lively time for the youngsters. It is the young- sters that make us older fel- lows feel good and remember that we have much to be thankful for. I notice less said nowadays about Santa Clans, however, and espe- cially the reindeers. I think Santa Glaus rides in a Ford automobile now, because a Ford has everything in the get-about line so far skinned that the past is a dream, and while on the subject I might say that I regard a Ford as a sort of tool neces- sary to commerce and advan- tageous to everyone able to be out in the open. I men- tion this car because I think it is the best auto value there is, and may be operated at a very low cost. Excluding the florists who carry the ac- counts of the split-skirt fra- ternity, and that class of dough-bellies who are com- pelled to put on the agony, I think every florist who must deliver flowers should have \ Ford to do the work — it works faster and costs less than horses to keep. Economics in the cost of operating a florist store are worth studying these times. In autos, the Ford is true economy. In lily bulbs. Horseshoe Brand is true economy. Send for price list now.

Alexander Seed Co. Augusta, Ga. VAIJ.EY PIPS FROM BOTTEBDAM. The valley pips which reached the port of New York last week were from Rotterdam, arriving December 16, on the steamer Potsdam. There is variety in the port of departure of valley pips this year; each shipment recorded in these columns in the last three weeks has come from a different port.

In common with all other horticul- tural supplies from the Old World, ship- ments of seeds from Great Britain con- tinue as in other years despite the war. If there is any difference in this year's receipts, it is that they are larger than usual. On the steamer Menominee, from London, which reached New York December IB, were over 400 cases, bags or packages of seeds consigned to horti- cultural firms of this country. Consign- ments to general importing houses, of which there were a number, are not in- cluded in the list which follows: Consignee. Cases. Darrow, H. Frank 10 Thorbum, J. If ., & Co 1 Rooea, I.

It will mean joy for a long time— a hundred for one on your investment. There are other snapdragons, but none so productiye, which means profit, and who among you grow for anything else? The foreman of one of the largest establishments in our land said last week: "Have grown snaps all of my life, both in England and here, but I Iftive never seen such a BUSY snap- dragon as your seedling Silver Pink." la these strenuous times you don't want your space doing half duty. Clear out a bench and send along your order for some of these BUSY plants. They are XX quality, free from disease, and our price is only $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000. No matter about distance or weather, our expert packing will "put them there." Other varieties are: White, $4,00; Yellow, $6.00; Garnet Gem, that grand new one, $8.00. Seed-sowing time is again here. Be early on the job and start a lot of seedlings. New crop seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 8 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. " All orders cash. Frde cultural directions. G. S.

Los Angeles, CaL — Burglars recently entered the store of the American Flo- rist and attempted to open the safe. They battered the combination dial, but were unable to force open the door. OAKLAND, CAL. The Market. With only a i^vi^ days ahead of us to get things in shape for the rush, there is activity on all sides. Sales are slow to begin, compared with other years. Florists are preparing for good business, but they are buying conserva- tively and trusting there will be an agreeable surprise at the last. The* wholesale prices on plants seem to be high in comparison with the stock shown, so the stores will have to figure on small margins. Cut flowers have been plentiful up to the present time and the prices have been considerably below those of previous years. Some of the best rose growers are throwing their stock on the market for what it will bring, but the next few days will cause a wonderful change. Carnations are plentiful, but the keeping qualities are not what may be expected. Mums are about gone; there will be no good stock offered for Christmas. Violets are also scarce; the rains came too late to help the supply for the holidays. "Valley and orchids are plentiful, with a normal demand. There has been a noticeable decline in the demand for flowers in the social circles. Corsage work has fallen off at least fiftj' per cent. While the shoulder bouquets are being used more, the returns are usually smaller. Poinsettias are fine and as cut flowers they sell well, retailing at $4 to $7 per dozen. Green goods are plentiful, with a steady demand. Holly is scarce and lit- tle is to be had locally. The best is being shipped from Oregon. The ilex berries are used in great quantities and in a measure surpass the holly. Various Notes. E. James has a fine lot of general blooming plants ready for the holidays. He is considered the best grower in this section. The H. M. Sanborn Co. reports busi- ness as satisfactory. A general line of cut flowers and plants, as well as bulbs and seeds, is carried. Seasonable col- ors are well displayed in the window, with a choice arrangement of plants. Clarke Bros, have a well arranged place, with a good variety of flowers and plants. They quote conditions as being favorable. A call at the principal stores in San Francisco found everything in readi- ness. Joseph's, the new flower store, is one of the finest in the city. It oc- cupies the entire building of four floors, with private elevator. Plant display, tea, and art rooms are on separate floors. Their ads feature fruits, flowers and favors. Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have a large foree constantly busy taking care of their increasing trade. They have one of 4be largest retail establishments on the coast. E. R. C. LOS ANGELES. The. Market. Prospects are good for Christmas business at this writing, with plenty of good stock in almost all lines and plenty of inquiries. Red roses are plentiful and good, but red carnations are a little short. Poinsettias are fine, but at present writing it is raining heavily, and this may damage the bracts somewhat. Poinsettia plants are going to be scarce, but there are plenty of azaleas, begonias, cyclamens and other suitable plant stock. Red chenille is much in evidence in all dec- orations now; also the dyed ruscus. Greens of all kinds and local holly and wreathing are plentiful. Imported holly trees are scarce, many of them having lost their foliage in transit. A few northern grown plants have been sent in, but they are of fair quality only. Various Notes. A light frost visited this section the night of December 13, but practically no damage was done. The rains of the previous days had softened the growth and the ground, and this will enable the fruit tree men to get their trees dug, as the frost and wind have quite settled the foliage. A few young orange shoots and some of the more tender plants were touched, but the cool nights will do far more good than harm, unless we get much lower tem- peratures than this. Pasadena, the San Gabriel valley and the foothill towns under the Sierras apparently suf- fered worse than Los Angeles. Older orchid growers will remember $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen S.

Dr. Sehiflfmau 'a remarkable rollection :»t St. Paul, Miun., that he soM some years ago to a Pasadena orehidist. The doctor has returned to his old love, and is starting a new collection. Peter Mackenzie, his gardener, has the plants well in hand in a new house built this year for their accommodation, and I had the pleasure of a look through last week. The collection is rich in arti- ficially raised hybrids, notably some of the brasso-cattleyas having' B. Dig- byana as one parent. B. Heatonensis IS a grand thing, almost pure white, the growth only showing its relation- ship to that other (natural) hybrid, Cattleya Hardyana. Cattleva Maggie Raphael is another exquisite thing, a •roRs between a white form of C. Tri- ana; and (;. Dowiana aurea. The vena- tions as seen in the Dowiana types are reproduced on the lip, which has also the yellow blotch peculiar to Triana-, and the outer segments are white. An- other hybrid, between Digbvana ami J^iBlia tenebrosa, is quite a distinct thing, showing the chestnut markings ot tenebrosa quite plainly. La?lio- cattleya Felicity is small, biit exquisite 111 ••oioring, the progeny of L. crispa and C. Mendellii. A small' house of < ypnpediums and another of newlv im- ported cattleyas were in the best of health, and the whole place is in fine shape. Mr. Mackenzie should not be confounded with Roderick Mackenzie, who also has charge of a fine collection ?f "a u^i '" Pasadena, almost close by l>r. iSchiffman's. Albert V.

He has secured the exclusive sales right of plants of the new White Fair Maid carnation, which has been 80 popular this season. Wright's Flower Shop reports good inquiries for holiday trade, and the stock coming in from the Gardena range is excellent. Richmond and Prima Bonna roses are especially good, and the plant stock is perfect. H. W. Turner will have a fine cut of roses for Christmas, but he says there will not be enough to meet all demands. Big loads are sent in daily to the city besides the out-of-town shipments, which are heavy. Victor Clemence, of the Clemence Nurseries, Pasadena, reports business good. He has a nice stock, much more varied than that of the majority of nurseries here, and it is always clean and healthy. H. R. Richards. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. The weather bureau reports this the coldest December since 1909. Abundant quantities of Christmas stock are in sight, except mums, violets and possi- bly carnations. California crops of vio- lets have been damaged by inclement weather and dealers here do not ex- fect to get their orders filled in full, t is probable that the cut flowers will all be disposed of early in the rush and then potted stock, greens and cured materials will be substituted. The holly and mistletoe are of excellent quality, better than usual. Prices on greens are a little lower than last year, but cut flowers and potted stock com- mand about the uanal figures. Club's Ladies' Night. The first ladies' night in the history of the Portland Florists' Society took the place of ' the regular meeting De- cember 15. Members, with their fam- ilies, employees and invited guests, at- tended, making the largest gathering the club has ever brought together. A brief business session to 'dispose of routine matters was held in the regu- lar meeting rooms in Masonic Temple early in the evening and then all hands gathered in the large social hall on the same floor of the building. After a short time devoted to introductions. President Van Kirk announced the opening number on the entertainment program, a piano duet by Misses Coral Van Kirk and Christine Forbes. Next came a song by the Austro-Hungarian Male Choral Club of twenty-two voices, composed partly of Portland Florists' Society's members, followed by a Shakespearean dialogue by E. A. Shep- herd and J. E. Hitchcock. The surprise of the evening was then announced, a selection by the Portland Florists' So- ciety orchestra of five pieces. This was the first appearance in public of this musical organization. Another song by the male chorus completed the program. All numbers were heartily enjoyed and the performers responded to the ap- plause with encores. A spread in the banquet hall, music and dancing, cards and social chats closed the evening. The whole affair was pronounced a grand success and ladies' night is likely to become a regular event in the so- ciety, -to UC6U1 annually or oftener.

Those who are sufficiently in- terested "in art to own valuable paint- ings certainly know how to appreciate a setting of trees and shrubs in artistic arrangement. When it is generally [iracticed, the value will begin to be understood, and publicity could do much good along this line. "There is a growing feeling that be- cause a person has dealt with an un- scrupulous agent or nursery the whole fraternity is 'on the beat,' and nurserymen could do a world of good by informing the public that the cheapest stock is not that carrying the lowest price, but that which is put out by a responsible nursery, and . that they should never deal with any except those who are thoroughly reliable and re- sponsible. ' ' Another advantage of this publicity work is that examples could easily be given of incomes derived by people who make a business of growing fruits and nuts; people could be informed about how long it takes different fruits and nuts to come into bearing. Then they could easily tell if a salesman were eyaggorating or prevaricating, and such could be put out of business, if possible, or made to mend his ways. Educating the people would have a strong tendency this way and publicity of the right kind would hell* in educating a great many people. ' ' SUED FOB BREACH OF CONTRACT. Refund Clause No Defenss. In the case of Sanford vs. Brown Bros. Co., 101 Northeastern Reporter 797, the New York Court of Appeals laid down these important principles of law. atfecting the interpretation to be given contracts for the sale of nursery stock or other goods: "When the seller furnishes the form of contract, any doubt as to its mean- ing must be resolved in favor of the buyer, and every written agreement is to be construed, if possible, to make it fair to both parties." In the case above cited it appeared that plaintiff bought a quantity of peach trees from defendant under an agreement which contained this clause: "Any stock which does not prove to be true to the name as labeled is to be re- jdaced. or purchase price refunded," and plaintiff sued for damage claimed to liave been sustained by him on dis- covering that the trees sold were not of the quality called for by the contract, a fact which was not discovered until NURSERY STOCK FOR FLORISTS' TRADE FRUIT TREES ORNAMENTAL TREES SHRUBS CLEMATIS SMALL FRUITS ^lL?.t ROSES EVER6REENS 'f^cr..

Defendant opposed the suit on the ground that the clause above quoted restricted plaintiff's remedy to the right to have the trees replaced or the pur- ^'hase price refunded, but this point was decided in plaintiff's favor, the Court of Appeals saying: "The plaintiff was a farmer without previous experience in the culture of poaches; he could not have discovered for a period of three or four years the variety of peaches, jf any, the trees would bear. When he purchased the trees, he was justified in relying upon the superior knowledge of ' the defendant as to the quality of the trees to "be selected ?ind furnished bv de fendant. The defendant was charge- able with notice of the purjiowe for which the trees were to be used, and also had knowledge that the trees would not attain to the bearing point for a period of three or four vears, during which time plaintiff would be required to devote his time, together witli labor and expense, to the cultivation of the orchard. It would be unreasonable to hold under the terms of this contract that at the end of three vears, should the trees prove valueless, the onlv obli- gation was to furnish a supply of new trees or refund the purchase price. In such a case, while defendant would sus- tain a loss to the extent of the original oost of the trees, the loss to plaintiff in the use of land, expenses of cultiva- tion, etc., might prove very substantial. +1, J, , defendant assumed to fill frL° .I'' \ ^""^^^ ^° Pa'-t Purchased ™/l "/r'^'^' tl^« "«k ^as as- sumed by defendant and not by the SiVi!,^ '.*r^.^/«""''« «n ">e part of tJr^rX *° ^^^y^' ^^^ g««« vna vHta IRIS Surplus List Ready Spring shipment PETERSON NURSERY 30 N.

Business for the week was all that could be desired. The wholesale houses report business only normal as far as daily sales are concerned, but Christ- mas orders have been pouring in, for supplies, cut flowers and plants. The re- tailers are not receiving advance or- ders as they did last year in the week preceding Christmas, although every flower store in the city has increased its supplies for the holiday trade. The retailers are not going to be caught napping when it comes to getting in on the Christmas business. Last year some of them had what they considered a sufficient supply of fancy baskets and pot plants to meet the demand, but ran short, leaving disappointed cus- tomers with the impression that the florist is not to be relied upon at the last moment. This year, from all re- ports, there is a larger supply of pot plants. These can be used later in decorations. Everyone seems to be interested in the cut flower market, as there has been so much cloudy, dark weather and the end of it is not in sight at present. Carnations are blooming slowly. There are plenty of narcissi, violets, valley, Btevia and Easter lilies, which help to flu up the cut flower market and meet the demand. Beauties are scarce and higher in price. It is expected there will be a shortage of this rose, while other roses are plentiful. Pot plants are plentiful and good, as all the growers have increased along this line, especially in poinsettias, be- gonias and fancy basket plants. The retailers have been encouraging the growing of more pot plants. A good many growers are complaining about their azaleas being poorly flowered. Various Notes. The Alpha Floral Co. has added to its force James A. Biggam, a well known decorator, and Claude Huckleberry, a grower, to look after the greenhouse containing the decorative plants. The Peterson Floral Co. has ended the fall shrubbery and tree planting work and, as a whole, is well satisfied with business for the year 1914. Miss L. E. Boggess reports a good business for the last two weeks, espe-< cially in out-of-town funeral work. E. H. Frandsen & Co. have sold out entirely on pot plants. They had a fine lot of poinsettias and other plants. Their roses are in excellent shape, car- nations are good and Mr. Frandsen is well pleased with business, considering the conditions. W. J. B.

Trade is looking up somewhat and there are indications of a good demand for Christmas stock. There are not many orders placed in advance, not as many as we should all like to see, bust they will probably line up satisfac- torily later. Stock is likely to be scarce in some lines. There will be a short- age of Beauties and other roses, as they are not coming in strongly and are badly off color. Carnations will be plentiful, except red ones, which will be a little scarce, as the demand for them, of course, will be heavy. Valley will be in fair supply, both "cut and i)otted. Violets also will be in fair supply and the indications are that the demand for them will be heavy. Sweet peas will be scarce, as the buds have been dropping badly from them lately. There will be a good supply of potted plants, including azaleas, begonias, cy- clamens, primulas, etc. The Christ- mas greens have been moving well and ■are getting cleaned up nicely. Various Notes. The Livingston Seed Co. reports busi- ness improving somewhat and a heavy Christmas trade is looked for. The Munk Floral Co, reports every- thing coming on nicely, both at the main store and at the branch. C. A, Roth looks for fair business for Christmas. T. J. Ludwig, of the Livingston Seed Co., has opened a temporary place for the holiday trade, and early in Jan- uary he will open a new flower store at 84 North High street. He will be on the north side of the room of the White-Haines Optical Co,, with a work- room in the rear and space in the basement.

BALTDHOBE. The Market. During the early part of last week a cold snap struck us. The weather bu- reau report stated the lowest tempera- ture in two years was registered Tues- day, December 15, and the sudden drop in temperature caused consider- able anxiety regarding incoming ship- ments of perishable Christmas stock and made extra wrapping necessary on deliveries. The latter part of the week it warmed up considerably and no freeze-outs were reported, showing that everybody was prepared. Business has been as fair as can be expected so close to the holiday sea- son. Boses, especially the Killarneys, are rather off color, due to the cloudy weather which we have had for some time. There has been a good demand for lilies, and the good supply was soon taken up. Valley has been the slowest moving stock on the market. On Saturday the commission houses were pretty well cleaned out, and not to the street boys, either. There is a plentiful supply of Christmas greens, out the early holiday orders have been conspicuous by their absence. Various Notes. Mrs. Mary Johnston has put in serv- ice a new Overland delivery car, which shows up well. This is the second de- livery car now in use. Halliday Bros, have been showing in their large display window some well made wreaths of magnolia leaves and red cape designs. The bright color showed well against the dull green backgfround. J. J. Perry has recovered sufficiently from his recent illness, which was re- ported exclusively in The Review last week, to again attend to his duties as manager of the local branch of the Pennock-Meehan Co. He was at his desk for a short while Saturday, De- cember 19, for the first time, but is still weak from excessive loss of blood. W. F. E. Manchester, Mass.— The North Shore Horticultural Society held its regular meeting December 17, Vice-president Wetterlow in the chair. A smoker fol- lowed the business session. The next meeting is January 1, when P. S. Gif- ford will lecture. The annual ban- quet will be held in the Town hall, January 27.

These, of course, should be connected with the flow pipe located under the ridge of the house. When the return pipes are as small as IVi-inch, it is always advisable to attach some form of generator to the system. The main flow pipe from the boiler may be 3-inch and the generator should be upon this pipe. Instead of using eight 1%-inch pipes for the re- turns, it would be preferable to put in six 2-inch ones, although the use of a generator will secure a good circulation even with 1^-inch pipe for the returns. Of course, both flow and return pipes should have a slight fall. NEWPOET, E. I. James C.

INDIANAPOLIS. Trade has been fairly steady for the last two weeks. The recent cloudy weather has shortened the supply of cut stock, but it looks as though there would be enough for the Christmas trade. Home-grown roses are first- class, despite the cloudy weather. First-class carnations are plentiful. Sweet peas are scarce, the recent cloudy weather causing the buds to drop oflf. The indications are that there will be none for Christmas. Valley, lilies, orchids and violets are plentiful. Poin- settias, stevias, Paper Whites and Ro- mans are enough for the demand. Blooming plants are plentiful. Fine azaleas, poinsettias, Lorraine and Cin- cinnati begonias and cyclamens are available in unlimited quantities. Holly, laurel and other Christmas greens show no scarcity as yet, and in- dications point to no shortage this year. H. L». W.

It is expected that by the time the last Christmas order has been filled the florists of Washington will have re- alized a successful holiday business. The outlook up to a week before Christ- mas was poor, but a multitude of ad- vance orders coming in quickly changed this aspect. Although there are more blooming plants on the market this year than last, it is believed every- thing in that line will clean up well. The stocks of cyclamens, begonias and azaleas are the equal of any ever seen in this locality and the advance sale was heavy. However, according to several of the growers, cut flowers will be a gamble. Without doubt there will be sufficient to supply all demands at the usual Christmas prices, but the weather of the last few days has not been conducive to the production of first-class stock. The pink roses are decidedly off color. American Beauty roses are expected to suffer a slight decline over the previous year's prices, because of a heavy crop in the eastern markets. Various Notes. Among the visitors during the last week were J. E. Peterson, of Cincin- nati; G. G. Stumpp, of Stumpp & Wal- ter Co., New York, and Joseph J. Goudy, with Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadel- phia. Frederick Band, assistant in the labo- ratory of plant pathology of the De- partment of Agriculture, has left for a trip through New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland on business for the department. Among other things he will obtain material for the study of water lily diseases. E. Brown, botanist in charge of the seed testing laboratories of the De- partment of Agriculture, has gone to New York to consult with the custom house officials on matters concerning the importation of seeds under the seed im- portation statute. William F. Gude has been nominated as a member of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, to take effect upon the completion of his term as president of that organization. A negro deliveryman temporarily em- ployed by the Washington Florists Co. has been arrested charged with the lar- ceny of a diamond ring, the property of Miss Alice Craemer. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is planning to add an automobile delivery service and with this in view has secured a permit to remodel the store. A garage is to be built in the section at the rear of the large iceboxes. C. L. L. Carson City, Mich. — An addition is being erected on the east side of the greenhouses of the Carson City Floral Co.

Phones— Central 2571-2572 CHICAGO The Holiday business turns out erratic, uneven, but in many cases exceeded the Trade's expectations and preparations normal IROBABLY the trade never has givep so much thought to the Christmas business — before and after — as has been the case this year. The holiday trade is an important factor even in a year, and this year is dis- tinctly abnormal. So the Christmas sales were of unusual im- portance. Advertising Paid. . Among the retailers in the cities there was a quite general opinion that the demand would not come up to last year. Some were willing to let it go at that, and bought ac- cordingly, but others took steps to stimulate the use of flowers. At Cleveland, for instance, the trade raised a fund for adver- tising and it is interesting to read that Christmas eve the pressure on the stores it found a buyer. The wholesale prices did not average so high as last year — indeed, in the four largest cities they were the lowest ever realized at Christ- mas— and no doubt most retailers gave their customers the benefit, but the pub- lic turned into the cash registers of the trade last week an aggregate sum not far behind the best week 's record became not. ' All lines of stock cleaned up in good shape. In dozens of places in this issue it will be read that the busi- ness ' ' exceeded expecta- tions," even though no ad- vertising was done. The business of the week must have been enor- mous, taking the country as a whole. The supply of stock in all lines cer- tainly was the heaviest ever known— and most of Summary of the Christmas Trade the trade ever has been able to make. It is important to note that, while the big cities and manufacturing towns showed some effect of the gen- eral business conditions that have pre- vailed since August, the smaller cities and country towns show, instead, the effect of the bountiful crops. From the smaller cities in the grain states come many reports of the best Christmas business on record. The trade in the middle west appears to be in better shape than in any other part of the country. The holiday business was enormous, in many places the largest ever, but on the whole not up to last year in money value. In general, the retailers are better pleased than the wholesalers; the plantsmen much better satisfied than the cut flower growers. The trade in the manufacturing cities appears not to have been so good as in the country towns. Supplies of stock were the greatest in the history of the trade, both plants and cut flowers. Wholesale prices, particularly on cut flowers, were distinctly lower than last year, especially in the larger cities; the man who retailed the stock he grew fared much better than the wholesale grower. While enormous quantities of cut flowers were sold, it is everywhere noted the trade pushed plants. The business was later than usual starting and many who sell to the public could have used more stock than they had provided. Unsatisfactory reports from certain im- portant centers are offset by many statements that the business exceeded expectations. Weather conditions were unfavorable over the greater part of the country; too near zero. Plants Were Pushed. The conditions appear to have favored the sale of plants, especially in the cities. The retailers felt safer in stocking up on them, and on baskets of ruscus, boxwood and red berries, than they did on cut flowers. The result seems to make it possibly necessary that a complete readjustment of holiday cut flower values take place to induce the retailers to push cut flowers again the way they once pushed them and the way they now push plants. Whatever trouble there is lies with the trade — the public last week bought all the good cut flowers the retailers of- fered them at moderate prices. Read the news notes and city letters: Somersworth, N. H.— G. S. Ramsburg comments that the pessimist must have frozen solid, for Santa brought big bus- iness for the florists in this section. Bellows Falls, Vt.— Christmas sales were not only good but figure up al- most double those of last year, accord- ^°g tp George A. Halladay, of the Ma- pledell Greenhouses. Plant trade was not so heavy as cut flowers, but carna- tions were sold at $1 per dozen: red, $1.50; roses, $1.50 to $2. The weather was the coldest ever known for Christ- mas, for five days ranging from zero to 28 degrees below. Amsterdam, N. Y. — O. H. De La Mater, of the Hilltop Greenhouses, is much pleased with the Christmas sales, which increased twenty-five per cent compared with 1913 and fifty per cent compared with 1912. He pushed plants because wholesale cut flower prices leave less profit to the small town florist. Poinsettias did not sell well, people seeming to consider them not good keepers. He notes an in- crease in the sale of baskets filled with holly, ruscus and red berries. Holly wreaths do not go so well, but laurel is more in favor. Terre Haute, Ind. — The Rosery Flower Shop says: "We used printers' ink freely, had a big assortment of cut flowers and plants and did a phe- nomenal business for a store only ten weeks old. Fancy basket work and cor- sage bouquets were our leaders." This is the retail branch of the Terre Haute Rose & Carnation Co., which ha3 70,000 feet of glass. General business condi- tions have been decidedly unsatisfac- tory all through the autumn, but C. J. Houck, the manager, says the flower business averages better than other lines. 8 The Florists^ Review Decembeb 31, 1914. TRADE REPORTS ARE GOOD Vicksburg, Mich. — Mrs. E. J. Reed reports that the Christmas business was the most successful of the three since she opened the Flower Shop. Kansas City, Mo. — Joseph Austin re- ports trade as quiet from Thanksgiving to December 24, when sales broke all records. He notes that plant sales led by a long way and finds cut flowers falling farther behind every year, which he attributes to the plants mak- ing the most show for the money. Cheyenne, Wyo. — Capt. Arthur A. Underwood, who last August purchased the Swayger Greenhouses, says the rec- ords show fifty per cent increase in Christmas sales; sixty per cent com- pared with 1912. He pushed roses be- cause they give greater satisfaction to his trade and better returns for the seller. He believes it pays to push the best at all times, including Christ- mas. Allentown, Pa. — John F. Horn & Bro. estimate the Christmas trade as short of 1913 but equal to 1912. They pushed blooming plants because they were fine and sold as many as ever. Azaleas were specially well liked. They comment: "We grow about the same quantity each year. There is always something that sells out first every year, but if you add to that line next season you seldom sell everything clean." Bloomington, IlL — A. Washburn & Sons say Christmas sales were a little ahead of last year, carnations being the leader because pushed on account of a big cut in their own greenhouses. "Emphasis," they say, "might be laid on the necessity for making careful ad- vance preparations for the rush; we try to do this, but usually find some things left undone that add materially to the night work that comes at the last. Business in all lines has been rather quiet this fall, but the flower business has been fully up to others." Springfield, Mass. — Everyone reports a fine Christmas trade, as many of the better class of spenders bought plants and floral gifts instead of jewelry and other expensive articles. Business in other lines has been dull for several months, the florists' trade being better than in many lines, and Robinson the Florist thinks it helped Christmas sales, which were better than last year and better than two years ago. Baskets and hampers were pushed and sold well until the larger sizes were reached. Robinson had success with a large batch of Proserpine tulips, French Golden Spur narcissi and Campernelles. Many or the Petrick azaleas shed a large part of their foliage. Apparently novelty is a g^eat help on the holiday sales. Salt Lake City, Utalt^All the flo- rists here had a merry Christmas, ac- cording to H. F. F. Thorup, who says they all made deliveries with smiling faces in spite of the cold. Roses were in good supply, but carnations were scarce and commanded high prices. Plants of all kindd sold fast. Bacine, Wis. — The Racine Floral Co. says the Christmas trade was the best ever known, both blooming plants and cut flowers selling well, but notes a spe- cial increase in the sale of baskets and artificial stock, boxwood, statice, red berries, etc. A nice business was done on fern dishes in which sprays of red berries were mixed. Fort Dodge, la. — R. P. Atwell is well satisfied: Christmas sales increased twenty-five per cent, fifty per cent as compared with 1912. He pushed plants from his greenhouses, together with his poinsettias and carnations grown on the place, but cut* down on roses, which he has to buy. He says: "It certainly does not help the trade in small towns to quote prices based on the prices in wholesale centers; we small growers simply have to be con- tent to sell what we have on our places. ' ' Ashtabula, O. — The Tong & Weeks Floral Co. reports: "Supply this season has been far ahead of the demand and low prices have prevailed. This had a tendency toward the lowering of Christmas prices to move the stock. We sold as much stock as usual, but the prices were not so good. We pushed both plants and cut flowers, but kept away from the artificial stuff as much as possible, due not only to the fact that we had plenty of plants and cut flowers, but also that we do not like artificial florists. Not only flower- ing plants, but ferns seemed stronger in demand this, year than cut stock. The lesson of the Christmas trade is that flo- rists should learn to advertise." Lima, O. — Eggert N. Zetlitz says business the three days before Christ- mas was better than expected, espe- cially when weather conditions are considered. He pushed blooming plants and made up baskets and sold more azaleas, Cincinnati begonias, cyclamens and primroses than ever be- fore. Cut flowers received less atten- tion because of predicted high prices. Sales totaled about the same as last year and better than two years ago. He comments: "I believe a big busi- ness can be worked up on cheaper plants and flower baskets, articles run- ning from $1 to $3. If customers have to pay more, the majority prefer to buy more substantial articles." There has not been much social work here this season, but funeral work has kept florists busier than their neighbors. New Castle, Pa. — Fischer & McGrath say the early outlook was not bright, but there was a tremendous rush the last two days and everything cleaned up, making a Christmas increase of fif- teen per cent. They pushed wreaths, baskets and boxes of artificial and preserved stock on account of the bet- ter profit than could be made from cut flowers at the anticipated prices. EvansylUe, Ind. — The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. says the florists' trade this autumn has been better than the gen- eral business condition and notes that quite a few people bought plants this year who usually buy more expensive merchandise. They pushed plants, plant baskets and carnations because they had plenty without buying. Plants and baskets are gaining in popularity, violets losing. They com- ment that the majority of customers do not like the advance in cut flowers, but that some insist on having them. Coffeyville, Kan. — From the Forest Park Floral Co.: "We wish to state that, as far as we were concerned, busi- ness showed an even fifty per cent in- crease over last year. Plants, such as cyclamens, poinsettias made up with other plants, azaleas and Cincinnati, took the lead. Our trade in baskets both of fiowers and plants was much beyond any former demand. The beauty of the whole thing is that cash was much in evidence. With wheat at $1.10 and an enormous harvest behind it, everybody seemed to have money and to be willing to pay for good stock. We noticed a decided dropping off this Christmas in telegraph orders, both in and out. We trust and hope that the business over the country was as good as with us." Bryan, O. — This comes from the Won- setler Greenhouse: "Our Christmas business totals a trifle less than last year. The weather was unfavorable up to December 24, when it moderated. We had a fine lot of plants, which sold out clean at fair prices, with a heavy call for cyclamens, azaleas and prim- roses. Poinsettias did not sell well. It seems people know how unreliable they are and, after buying them once, will not have them again. Giganteums sold well, as did carnations, of which we had a heavy crop, especially of Beacon, which is so prolific with us as to make red carnations cheap. There was a heavy call for roses of all colors, of which we did not have any too many. In Christmas greens, boxwood was an easy winner. Owing to the poor condi- tion of holly, it was a poor seller and will soon be a thing of the past in our market. Boxwood wreaths sold on sight. Moss wreaths sold well for ceme- tery purposes. Ruscus does not sell so well as formerly." 9^ DECEMiiBB 31, 1014. The Florists^ Review 9 AHEAD OF EXPECTATIONS Lincoln, Neb. — 0. H. Prey says he was obliged to refuse large wholesale orders for cyclamens and other bloom- ing plants and that the retail trade cleaned up everything he had left, mak- ing it the best Christmas he ever has had. He is enthusiastic about it. Belleville, HL — Adolph G. Fehr says the use of flowers is on the increase and Christmas sales were better this year in all lines. He estimates the increase at twenty per cent. He pushed cut flowers, especially carna- tions and roses, but noted an increase in the popularity of cyclamens, primu- las and ferns. He thinks the flower business is about to experience the greatest boom in many years. E. W. Quy reports an excellent Christmas. H. Emunds is still cutting good chrys- anthemums. Marinette, Wis. — George Vatter says business in all lines has been as good as ever and the flower business this season the best yet. Christmas sales were ten per cent ahead of last year, but made up of moderate-priced plant sales. The wealthier people did not buy as much as usual. He pushed plants and baskets, as cut flowers at Christmas are too high-priced for his trade. Medium-priced flowers also sold well. Zero to 10 degrees below made delivery difficult. G-reat Falls, Mont. — Despite the busi- ness depression so prevalent in table talk, the Electric City Conservatory re- ports a forty-five per cent increase over the previous year. Stock was excellent, but the supply was on the short side. Early Christmas morning everything was cleaned up. Baskets of poinsettias, crotons, pandanus and begonias were a ready seller. Boses were excellent, but Beauties scarce and of poor quality. Cut poinsettias and mums were good and took excellently. In the words of the proprietors, "Business was far be- yond our expectations and was the best in the history of the company." Vincennes, Ind. — "Business in gen- eral has been rather quiet this fall," says Paul C. Schultz, "but Christmas trade was excellent, much better than was expected. It was ten per cent bet- ter than in 191d and thirty per cent ahead of two years ago. A big supply of azaleas, poinsettias, cyclamens, hya- cinths and narcissi cleaned up to the last plant. There was a special call for roses, including Beauties, Shawyer, Richmond and Killamey; the local cut was light because of dark weather, but good stock was obtained from Evans- yille and Newcastle. Carnations were in fine crop and brought good prices. Sweet peas dropped their buds because of the bad weather and represent a loss of sales." Litchfield, HI. — B. A. McPheron says the holiday business was better than ever before. He noted an increased call for both roses and poinsettias. The usual Christmas prices were obtained without difficulty. Princeton, HL— The W. E. Trimble Greenhouse Co. reports an excellent Christmas trade, both wholesale and re- tail. They say: "Our customers for- got the war and got busy buying roses and carnations." Canal Dover, O. — Factories running one-third to one-half time, everyone complaining of hard times, yet our 1914 Christmas business ran away ahead of 1913 in local retail sales, says C. Betscher. Carnations had first call; roses in good demand; pot plants in in- creasing demand; boxwood and holly wreaths freely called for. "Now for the largest St. Valentine's day, Easter, Mothers' day and May in our his- tory," he adds. Elmira, N. T.— From Leavitt: "The flower business this season has been better than trade in other lines. The general business situation did not seem to affect florists' Christmas sales, which were about the same as last year. Nothing was specially pushed, ' but a large supply of baskets of plants and of baskets of artificial stock was sold out clean. More azaleas could have been sold. There does not seem to be much demand for pink begonias." Dubuque, la. — W. A. Harkett thinks the Christmas trade was affected ad- versely more by the zero weather than by any other condition. Sales ran ahead of anticipations. Cash trade fell off about ten per cent, but charge sales were practically the same as last year. The business was in every respect about the same as usual. The grocers, butchers and others have gone into holly and greens to such an extent that florists cannot handle them except by putting them up in some better way to command higher prices. Hamilton, O.— Karl W. Heiser, of the Heiser Nursery & Floral Co., says: "As our retail flower store was opened only a few days before Christmas, we have no opportunity to make comparisons of business with other years. About all we can say is that the business that came to ua was away beyond our ex- pectations. In a town with a large part of its working population idle, and a town not especially rated as a flower-buying community, one would not expect too much in flower purchas- ing ability. But it seems that among people who have any money at all to spend in gfift-giving, the tendency to put their money into flowers and plants rather than into jewelry and other trinkets is growing rapidly." Newark, N. J. — Christmas trade was good at Begerow's and generally through the city. Detroit, Mich. — A broken electric light fixture in the window of E. A. Fetters' store, at 114 Library avenue, set fire to the Christmas decorations Monday afternoon, December 21. The fire was checked before a great deal of damage was done. Alton, HI. — The Alton Floral Co. says trade in other lines has been slow this season, but florists have done about as much as ever and the general con- dition did not seem to affect the Christ- mas trade unfavorably, as there was an increase of twenty-five per cent, about equally divided between cut flowers and plants. Pontiac, HL— From J. W. Miller & Son: "We wish to report a grand trade this Christmas, far exceeding our expectations. The sale on blooming plants was the leading feature. We cleaned up everything that was in sal- able condition. Our carnations were exceptionally fine this season and our only shortage was on good roses." McKeesport, Pa. — J. H. Orth says the Christmas trade was affected by the slack season in the mills, being thirty per cent less than a year ago and only half what it was in 1912. Baskets of boxwood, ruscus, etc., and plants were pushed, as it looked as though cut flow- ers would cost too much to sell well. Mr. Orth says the showing made tells him to prepare a larger stock of good, medium priced plants for next year. J. M. Johnston had fine azaleas and did an excellent trade in his three stores. There was an unusual run of funeral work during Christmas week. It was unusually cold, but the greenhouse men succeeded in selling practically all their plants. Sioux Falls, S. D. — G. A. Thomas says the principal lesson learned from the Christmas trade is the value of early preparation, backed up by strong advertising. He used a good space in the local newspapers and had some re- prints struck off from the ad to en- close with every parcel and envelope that went out for some time before Christmas. As a result the Christmas trade was the best ever, a full third better than last year and fifty per cent better than in 1912. The people took to plants, although cut flowers headed his price list. Quite a number of customers bought five or six plants each. Cyclamens, poinsettias and aza- leas were th^ favorites, in the order named. He cleaned up on carnations, but did not do so well on roses, which he attributes to the difference in price. Novelty wreaths and baskets of pre- pared stock met with increased favor. 10 The Florists' Review December 31, 1914. TEUCOWS ON SWEET PEAS. I am sending you under separate cover two sweet pea plants, one of my first planting and one of my last plant- ing, to see whether you can inform me as to what ails them. The variety is Rose Queen. They are planted in solid, raised beds and have about eighteen inches of soil. The soil is a loose, black loam, with rotted sod from an old pasture, enriched with about one part of stable manure, mostly cow manure, to three parts of soil. No chemicals were used. I have always had excellent peas on this soil until now. They were kept in a temperature of 42 to 45 degrees until commencing to bloom, when I raised the heat to 52 or 53 degrees at night. These peas came on and looked well until they were three or four feet high, when a few seemed to be blighted. The trouble would first appear in the tip of the main stalk ; then the growth would almost stop and what little growth there was would be knotty and twisty; the leaves would get spotted and curled and quite brittle and hard. Then the disease would appear on the side shoots. Though this disease at first was only upon an occasional stalk, it is now appearing upon almost all the rest. The jjlants that are not af- fected are about eight to ten feet high, but have produced few blooms. The small plants appear to be affected the same way. Can you tell me what is wrong? Is it due to the soil or the treatment? Is there anything I can do to overcome it and force the plants to blooms rather than to stalks, or would you advise pulling them out and replanting? P. E. M. These sweet peas are affected by bac- teria generally known as the yellows. These bacteria develop mostly on plants which are grown in old soil, infested with mite, thrips and green fly, which carry the disease all over the bed in a short time. It chiefly affects early planting, as those insects multiply so much faster in warm weather. I would advise P. E. M. to spray his plants once a week with a good solution of nicotine. Albert J.

Bunyard, Sec'y. 342 West Fourteenth street, New York. SUCKER GROWTH WEAKENS STEM. We are sending you by parcel post a box containing three chrysanthemum stock plants, numbered 1, 2 and 3. Please look these plants over and tell us if any of them is diseased. If so, report on each plant separately. A. M. & C. The stems of all three specimens in- dicate that the plants were allowed to become hard and woody in the early stages of their growth; consequently, the stool of each plant spent its great- est energy in making sucker growth at the expense of the main stem and, plant. The roots of specimen 1 were covered with root-galls caused by eelworms. These worms are generally quite trou- blesome in soil that has been used before for other plants; also when ma- nure is used liberally through the soil or as a mulch. A change of soil and manure is the best remedy. A sprin- kling of lime on the surface of the bed will destroy a large number of the worms. I would advise shaking the soil from the roots of these stock plants and placing the plants in some fresh soil that has not been used in the green- house before. Specimen 2 has the same trouble as specimen 1, only a great deal worse. I do not find anything wrong with the roots of specimen 3. The trouble here seems to be that the suckers have been allowed to remain on the stool too long, so that they drew all the strength away from the main stem and plant. C. W. J. WHITE SPORT OF DR. ENOUEHARD. In the December 10 issue of The Re- view, W. E. P. asks for the names of a yellow and white chrysanthemum which are the nearest in shape, style, size and time of blooming to Enguehard. There is a white sport of Dr. Engue- hard the characteristics of which are identical with those of Enguehard, ex- cept that the blooms have better sub- stance and are a trifle fuller in the cen- ter, the stems are heavier and the foliage is heavier and darker. W. A. W. Fayetteville, Ark.— Since the consoli- dation of the Rose Terrace Greenhouses, of which Adams & Son were the own- ers, with the Southwestern Seed Co., about three months ago, the business has been steadily growing. The holi- days bring a good trade in pot plants, cut flowers and decorative materials. DECBMBun 81, 1914. The Florists' Review 11 SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. |HIS is a great day for the Society of American Flo- rists. It marks the realiza- tion of the long cherished idea of affiliation. Five af- filiated societies now be- come active in the man- agement of the 8. A. F. through the seating of their presidents on the board of directors in pursuance of the change in the constitution which pro- vides a directorship for the president of every affiliated society that has 100 paid up members on the S. A, F. mem- bership roll. The societies which thus far have asked for directorships under this provision are the American Bose Society, the American Carnation So- ciety, the Florists' Telegraph Delivery, the New York Florists' Club and the Florists' Club of Philadelphia. The year of the S. A, F. ends De- cember 31, and New Year's day Pa- trick Welch, elected to the presidency at the Boston convention last August, assumes the duties of the office. Daniel MacEorie, of San Francisco, the next convention city, becomes vice-presi- dent. Secretary John Young and Treasurer W. F. Kasting were re- elected for 1915, so that there is no change in these offices. At the same time the terms of C. H. Totty and John A. Evans expire, they having served on the board of di- rectors for three years. In addition to the officers for 1915, and the presi- dent for 1914, the board of directors now consists of A. F. Poehlmann, Thomas Roland, J. J. Hess, J. A. Pe- terson, and the two new appointees, Wm. R. Nicholson and Robert C. Kerr, together with W. R. Pierson, S. J. Goddard, Irwin Ber- termann, H. A. Bun- yard and George Burton, who obtain their seats by vir- tue of the action on affiliation taken at the Boston conven- tion. Salutatory. In assuming the duties of the presi- dency Mr. Welch addresses the offi- cers and members of the S. A. F. as follows: New Year's greet- ings from the presi- dent of the Society of American Flo- rists: One of the priv- ileges, as well as one of the pleasant duties of the presi- dent of the Society of American Flo- rists, is to wish each and every member OFnCERS FOR I9J5.

Philadelphia of the society and his family a happy and prosperous New Year. While we are just now emerging from a period of dullness, I believe that, in the near future, times will change much for the better. Already we see grain shipments becoming ex- tensive, shoe and textile manufactur- ers report increasing business, the au- tomobile and steel industries are shpwing immense improvement and, f bv indiv best of all, the banks of the country are giving more confidence for the near future. Thomas Reed once said that "the alternation of good and bad times ante- dates the pyramids," and that cer- tainly ought to give us courage, as we know it is extremely true. Commer- cial horticulturists, together with the other great business interests of our country, have shared the losses for the past season and, although we are apt to think that our particular busi- ness has been hit the hardest, we know that this is not the case. But, however that may be, the dominant note of the commercial horticulturists throughout the United States must be that good times are coming and soon will be here. Once more, I wish to express to you my gratitude and appreciation for the honors our society has conferred upon -me. I know that, with these honorsj I have increased responsibility and I intend, with your support, to shoulder this responsibility and to carry it successfully throughout the year. At the beginning of the year, when we all make good resolutions, I want one of the resolutions of this society to be that it will work to increase our membership. Of the 10,000 firms now engaged in floriculture and hor- ticulture in the United States, but twenty per cent of them are members of our society. This ought not to be, and must be cor- rected. We must impress upon the minds of those who are not members that, while there are many local clubs and other na- tional organizations, organized for the advancement of floriculture and hor- ticulture, still we are the most impor- tant society in America, whose aim and purpose have accomplished much in the past and, with their cooperations, will extend the field of their operations materially in the future. I hope that the gentlemen appoint- ed to the board of directors and per- manent committees with our state vice- presidents will prove themselves leaders in the new crusade to increase membership, now living age of co- and what formerly done lividuals is 12 The Florists^ Review Dbckmbeb 31, 1914. Vm. R. Nicholson. (Appointed a Director of the Society of American Florists by Piesldent Welch.) now done by organizations. Consequent- ly, the members of our society in each state must work with the vice-presi- dents to insure an increased member- ship. An increased membership will have its influence at Washington, with Con- gfress, and at the capitols of the dif- ferent states, with the legislators both at home and in the national capital. An increased membership will better enable us to continue our campaign of education, at our national flower shows and at our annual convention garden. Many of our yousfg men, traveling through the country, were some suf- ficient stimulant offered, could assist in increasing the membership and I am willing to offer the stimulant — a watch and chain to cost not less than $150, the funds for which I will raise among my friends, to be awarded to the mem- ber who will send to the secretary, John Young, 33 West Twenty-eighth street.

Hlghmore, S. D. — Max Winnegar's greenhouse was destroyed by fire re- cently, because aid could not be ob- tained in time to check the flames. Catlln, ni. — The greenhouse owned by Mrs. Floy Terpening was almost de- stroyed by^' fire December 23. The blaze started in the boiler room, from an overheated boiler, it is thought, and burned the east half of the house. The •rest was so badly damaged that the stock was practical alV lost. Quincy,'Ill.i-iThe gre^hous© of Her- bert Arlt, on Twelfth street, was dam- aged by fire December 12. A defect in the boiler is given as the cause of the fire. About ten feet of the east eiMl 6f the house, which is 20x70 feet ■in size, was destroyed, and twenty- five per cent of the lettuce in the house ruined. The total loss is placed at about $200. There is no insurance. Nevada, Mo. — The boiler shed and l»otted plant house of the Nevada Greenhouses were destroyed by fire De- cember 17, causing a loss of $2,000, according to the proprietor, F. R. Roe. The violet house was damaged-, so that there will be no blooms this season, al- though the plants will survive. Special eflforts were made to keep up heat in the other houses, containing Christmas blooms, which were not damaged. Harry A. Buayard.

Will you please describe the best way of starting rubber plants? C. W. H. In propagating the rubber plant, or Fieus elastica, the surest and most com- mon method, at least in this country, is what is known as mossing. Cuttings are also used, especially in Europe, but frequently disappoint American grow- ers by failing to root. Late spring is a good time to propagate by cuttings. The cuttings, usually from six to eight inches long, and with several leaves attached, should be taken from the latest growth and should be cut just below a joint. They may be inserted in small pots of sand and loam, and the pots may then be plunged in a bench which has a bottom heat of about 80 degrees. It is well to fasten the leaves up to a small stake, so as to save room and facilitate watering. After the first watering, the soil should be kept only moderately moist. The cuttings should be well rooted before being shifted. In propagation by mossing, the tops of young plants can be used, but it is customary to retain large, branching plants as stock plants at establishments where much propagating is done. The minimum temperature should be 60 de- grees at night. Nine or ten inches from the tip of the shoot, where the wood is not too green or too hard, a cut about an inch and a half long is made in the wood, from the bark to about halfway through the shoot. Sphagnum moss is inserted to keep the cut open and more moss is wrapped around the stem, so as to envelop it entirely where the cut has been made. If the moss when tied on ia as large as a hen's 6gg> you have enough on. Keep the moss syringed daily. In five or six weeks you will see roots protruding through the moss. Let them get well rooted and then sever from the plant just below the moss, and pot. The young plants should be kept from sun and draft till they take hold of the new soil. This method of propagation is successful at any season of the year. ENQLI^H IVY IN ABIZONA. Enclosed you will find some leaves and seeds from a plant which I have seen used for floral work, but which is new to me, as I have nothing re- sembling it in my greenhouses or gar- den. Please give me the name and describe the habit of the plant. State, also, whether it is hardy here, in central Arizona, and whether it is much used for floral work. W. N. K. This plant is the common English ivy. Its botanical name is Hedera Helix. English ivy is a remarkably fine ornamental evergreen climber, as grown in most parts of the southwest. It is extremely tolerant of the winter temperatures there, enduring at least 10 degrees below zero, and is also re- sistant to the summer temperatures. To be successful, however, it should be planted on the north and east jsides of houses, where it receives some, pro- tection during the hot summer i sea- son, from the sun. It is slow-growing at first, but when once established it makes a rapid growth and is excellent for clinging to walls — brick walls, plas- tered walls and especially wooden walls. The leaves are an inch or twQ in diameter and 5-angled. They are thick and leathery, dark green in color and remain on the plant for several years. Occasional varieties have va- riegated or silvery leaves. The speci- men enclosed has roundish or oval leaves, due to the fact that with the portion of the plant in flower the leaves are rounded or oval. I am pleased to be able to reeoin- mend this plant highly as an ornamen- tal evergreen climber for the south- western climate. J. J. Thornber, Botanist, University of Arizona. FROM CHICAGO TO KEW. Those whose memory goes back to the World's Fair year of 1893 may re- call the plant of Grammatophyllum speciosum exhibited at Chicago as a part of the display of Sander & Sons, of St. Albans, England. After the fair the plant was sent home and presented to the Royal Gardens, Kew, where it first bloomed in 1901. This year the famous grammatophyllum is bearing only a single spike, about eight feet in length, with fifty blooms. The flowers at the base of the spike are male, these having only four segments and no lip. The color of the petals and sepals is vellow blotched with chocolate-brown. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Christmas has come and gone for another year. At the time of writing it is hard to state just how good a Christmas trade we had, as practically no comparisons have been made. The rush did not commence so early this year, and it was not until Tuesday that good, brisk business was noticed. Stock was good and there was plenty of it. An extra demand for red carna- tions was keenly felt and fine stock was offered. During the Christmas trade funeral work was heavy and so the white and pink carnations were much sought for. American Beauties were choice and retailed at $5 to $12 per dozen. All other kinds of roses were plentiful and sold readily at holi- day figures. Violets, cattleyas and gar- denias sold well. Valley is plentiful and moves a little more easily. Easter lilies are plentiful and sell well. The demand for sweet peas is large, but the shipments are small. Paper White narcissi are being used extensively in design work. Some good chrysanthe- mums are on the market, among them some fine Chadwicks. Forget-me-nots, stevia and snapdragons complete our line of stock. The supply of galax, leucothoe, boxwood and other greens is satisfactory.. Almost all the florists have decora- tions for New Year's. A large number of weddings, receptions and dances are booked, and it looks as though we may be busy for a few weeks yet with this kind of work. H. J. H. Batavla, N.

The Florists' Rcvieiv 15 A OBOWEB'S NOTES. [A paper by Charles B. Herr, of Strasburg, Pa., read before a December meeting of the Lancaster County Florists' Club.] We plant out young carnation plants from pots in the field as early in May as we can, in rows twenty inches apart and eleven inches apart in the rows, cultivating' them with a hand harrow after every rain and keeping the har- row moving in dry weather. Topping in the field cannot be done too care- fully. Do not wait until a great num- ber are ready. There may be in the first topping only a few hundred. All season we try to keep the plants down, never allowing them to get too high, as we find the high, "leggy" plants are more liable to be hard-wooded and have dead foliage. Of course, the high topped plants look larger than they really are be- cause they have fewer side shoots. You all know different varieties must be topped differently, but none should be allowed to get too high. In preparing the houses for planting, which with us is done the last week of August, we clean out all the soil and give the houses a thorough cleaning, whitewashing the sides of the benches. The bottom boards are taken out and swept clean, then floated in lime water and carried by forks on tracks to dry in the sun. After they are dry, we place as many in a pile as a man can readily carry. Next they are taken back to their places and put in piles of four. In that position they do not warp as they would if spread over the benches. We leave them in piles until we are ready to fill in the soil. In placing the bottom boards, we allow a small space between each board, using excelsior to cover cracks to keep the manure from falling through. The benches are then ready for the soil. I can say that by treating the bench boards in this way we havl been able to use a great many of the same boards ever since I have been in business, which is fourteen years. ruling the Benches. We do not sift or screen the soil as we once did, but by handling it over two or three times and watching for clods when loading the barrows, we get It in good shape. In screening the soil, if you are not careful, you will find a great deal of your best soil and manure wasted. I know it was so in our case. After the benches are filled with «)il, we water just enough for planting. Before planting we shade the houses, ■ 'VSr^'i :/';".■;:-;/,'.. 'j,. j. and after planting 300 or 400 plants we keep watering them over and over again, to be sure the soil is saturated. After that, we only give them a light spraying two or three times a day, depending much on the kind of weather we are having at the time; ever trying to get the soil back to its normal condition, yet never allowing the plants to get dry until they are well established; being careful not to let drafts of air blow over them, for if they are once wilted, it will take some time to get them back to their normal condition again. We take all the buds off when plant- ing the plants in the houses and, in fact, for some time after they are housed. Beacon, for one, will start a great many buds soon after housing, with short stems. I must say right here, Beacon truly is a grand carnation, a free bloomer, of fine habit of growth, and carries out to the end of the season with me, which last season was the end of July. And so long as it does that for us, We surely will not drop it. My argument is that you are only taxing your plants when you allow S. J. Goddard.

Get your plants ir. good, healthy con- dition and well established; then they will be ready for work when the blooms bring you more money. Just as soon as the plants are established we put on the first wire and tie. I really think the carnation loses time if not kept tied up properly, and the less they are handled the better. New Varieties. The new varieties we are growing this season are Gorgeous, Matchless and Philadelphia. Gorgeous with us surely is a wonder- ful stem maker and of fine habit of growth. It has every promise of being a fine carnation. Matchless up to the present time has done well. It, too, is a vigorous grower. If there is anything we could criticise, it would be the shortness of its stems. Philadelphia is a wonderful plant maker and a clean grower. With us, 80 far, it has been a bit slow, but at present is full of buds. My experience has been that the new varieties prove themselves so much better the second year that I think we do them an injustice in being too severe in our early criticisms. For instance, the first year we grew Mrs. C. W. Ward it was quite short in stem and uneven on the benches. In fact, we were not much pleased with it except in regard to the form and color of the blooms. Today its habit of growth and length of stem class it among our best. In addition to the older varieties, we are growing Supreme, Pink Delight, Benora and White Perfection, which are all doing well. We will drop Per- fection another season, because of its tendency to give so many split blooms, and grow Matchless instead. TJp to this time we have not cut one split bloom from Matchless, of which we have 1,000 T5lants. We will retain Supreme and drop the others, having too many varieties of this color. A CHECK IN OEOWTH. Under separate cover we are mailing to you a diseased carnation plant. The plants made a good growth at first. Then a discoloring of the tips of the leaves was noticeable, on the Beacon plants only. In the course of about two weeks after this was first noticed, the whole plant dried up. Is there any remedy f E. C. C. The plant submitted looked as if it had never taken hold of the soil in the benches. There were no young root- lets and there was no more growth, apparently, than when the plants were lifted from llie field.- We have seen plants that behaved like these. The roots remained inactive, which allowed the foliage gradually to die off until finally there was nothing alive at the top and the roots would decay. There is little to be done mth a bed of plants in such a condition at this time of the year. If a carnation idant does not reestablish itself during the fall, there is little chance for it during the winter, when growth is naturally more sluggish. Even if your plants do not actually die during the next few months, you will not likely cut much from them until late in the spring, after they have had time to make a new start. If your Beacon plants are not in shape to give you a good cut during the nex;t three months, you would do well to pull them up and use the room for some other crop. It might pay to .let the light- colored varieties stand for what they will produce in the spring and early summer. A. F. J. B. THE ENaUSH CABNATION SHOW. American Varieties Still Iioad. "Business as usual" is the slogan of the Perpetual Flowering Carnation So- ciety, which is the British equivalent of the American Carnation Society, and the seventeenth annual exhibition was held in London the first week in Decem- ber as though nothing of consequence were happening across the channel. The same as in recent years, Ameri- can varieties constituted the greater part of the show. W. Wells & Co., who are the British agents for F. Dor- ner & Sons Co., were awarded the medal offered for the best vase on exhibition, having entered Pink Sensation. The same exhibitor was first for scarlet, showing Champion, Scarlet Glow being second, both Dorner varieties. Wells was first on cerise pink with Good Cheer, still another Dorner seedling. The cup offered by the American Carnation. Society for three American novelties was won by C. Engelmann, of Saffron Walden, who showed Peer- less Pink, Gorgeous and Enchantress Supreme. Mr. Engelmann, by the way, is a German, although a naturalized British citizen, and was not present in person. In the class for "pale pink" an English seedling won. Wells & Co. being second with Laura Weber, Enchantress scoring thfrd. White Wonder was the best white, an English variety coming in second and White Enchantress third. The silver cup offered by Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., for best vase of Princess Dagmar, brought out only one entry, of quality scarcely in keep- ing with the value of the trophy. Many Americans enjoy the acquaint- ance of W, E. Wallace, of Eaton Bray, who visited the United States the yeal" of the national show in Boston, and will be pleased to know he maintains his position at the head of the carna- tion growers in England. He was awarded a gold medal for his group. Other medals also were awarded to Mr. Engelmann, Allwood Bros., Stuart Low & Co. and A. F. Button, American varieties predominating in each ex- hibit. At the general meeting of the society all the officers were reelected. J. S. Brunton, editor of the Horticultural Trade Journal, is chairman. Beading, Mich.— W. M.

The necessity for his getting out of the Keene Samp- ter building, says Mr. Green, led to the purchase of the property. He takes possession January 1, but it is not known when he will move his store to the new quarters, as th&t depends upon what terms he makes with the present occupants. ^■T^Uwrr '. •■^'"^Tf " ''";'i5/nry p it^>'' DaCBMBBB 81, 1014. The Florists^ Review 17 BBAMPTON, ONT. The Market. A cut of between 17,000 and 18,000 Bichmond roses, mostly No. 1 stock, was the brightest feature in the output of flowers during the week just closed.. Beauties were of good quality, but' rarer than ever, despite the heavy de- mand. All other roses were of much better quality than last year, and everything met with a ready market. Although orchids arrived in large num- bers, there were not sufficient to satisfy the demand, many pressing inquiries coming from the large cities between here and New York at the last moment. Carnation orders could only be one- third filled, but the volume of trade generally was quite equal to that of last year. Unfortunately, the country was hardly in a position to stand the usual Christmas prices, and bearing this fact in mind, the growers decided to lower the price of stock twenty-five per cent, which concession appears to have met with the appreciation of all connected with the flower trade. There were several losses to^ the retail trade through stock being Itbzen in delivery, Christmas day being ushered in with a temperature ranging from 10 to 40 below zero throughout the Province of Ontario. Most of the florists, not know- ing how the public would approach the festive season, were late in ordering their stock, and almost all of them decided to stock up in supplies at the last moment.

The weather Christmas day, cold and clear, with plenty of snow on the ground, was just the kind to make peo- ple shop. And they did. Although the money taken in was about the same as last year, it represented much larger sales. Instead of asking for what they wanted, regardless of price, people wanted to know what they could get for 50 cents, $1, or some other limited sum. Flowers of all kinds were plenti- ful, even on Christmas day, a thing hitherto unheard of. Boses were the leaders, at $2 to $4, and carnations, at $1, next. Plants were the fashion, par- ticularly flowering sorts. Azaleas and poinsettias were the leaders. People had not money enough to buy basket and hamper arrangements of plants, but artificial stuff, such as immortelles, rus- cus, Diana grass, etc., sold to twice the value of last year's sales. Everybody seemed satisfied with business, but ther« was a whisper, "It might have been better. ' ' Various Notes. Wreaths were to be seen in the win- dows everywhere, the work of the A. J.

Made up plant baskets and pans sold extra well at $2.50 and up. Boses were hardly equal to the demand. Carnations were plenti- ful. Violets were scarce. Everything considered, it was one of the best days the florists ever had. After Christmas came more busy days, also, as consider- able funeral work had to be done. Various Notes. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. enjoyed an immense trade. Geo. Black- man says cash receipts were about the same as last year, but that he thought they had considerably more charge accounts. They had between 3,000 and 4,000 roses and could have used about 1,000 more. They had enough car- nations, about 5,000. The force at the store included twenty people and begin- ning Wednesday morning they worked over sixty hours straight. They have several claims against the express com- panies for non-delivery of shipments. Julius Nieduigel & Sons say all hands worked practically night and day all the week getting things ready for the rush of orders which came to them. The carnation crop was good, the cut being over 3,000. The Killarneys were off crop, but the cut of Bichmond and Ward roses was heavy and all were sold. An increased demand was noted for plants of all kinds. C. L. Niednagel had a good cut of Killarney and Bussell, which were sold to good advantage. His Beauty cut was better than expected. J. C. Elspermann used twenty cases of holly. He says the demand for plants was greater than ever. He had a lot of funeral work, which made all hands hustle. Eoyston & Fenton had more retail orders than any time before, due to working more for this trade than for the wholesale end as before. Miss Nellie Goodge says the demand for everything except holly was fine. She did not have enough roses or car- nations. Karl Zeidler' sold all his cut flowers and the demand for plants of all kinds was greater than it was last year. Austin Wallace was off crop with Killarney. Louis Fritsch had all he could do. W. D. Macer got in a large stock of plants in variety, also cut flowers. He was well satisfied with his business, it being his first Christmas. Wm. Halbrooks had a large cut of carnations and sold out at good prices, Henry Seymour had his usual good trade. His carnation crop was ex- cellent. E. L. F. Bockland, Mass. — Joseph W. Bichards is closing out his greenhouse business and retiring from the trade. 18 The Florists' Review Dbckubeb 31, 1914. NASfiVniLE, TENN. The Market. Other merchants who handle holiday goods say sales of the ordinary bau- bles were small, but florists never got better prices at this season and they cleaned up well, too. We have sel- dom seen so many good poinsettias, and they proved to be the most popu- lar of all the plants offered. Azaleas were in better supply than usual and the good reds were especially notice- able. The plants were larger and bet- ter flowered than is usual. Bulb stock was scarce. Begonias were in large supply and the demand did not come up to expectations. Ferns sold better than usual. Roses were in large sup- ply and the quality was faultless, which doubtless accounted for the high prices, few wholesaling below $12 per hundred. We understand that there were not enough left to make a decent corsage. Various Notes. The Joy Floral Co. is planting the new rose, Hoosier Beauty, this season. Their grower, Mr. Johnston, was so pleased with it on his recent trip of inspection that stock was purchased. It is said Hadley has not proven good here. The Joys cut a record crop of Beauties this Christmas. Geny Bros, handled holly for the first time this season and say sales were so satisfactory they will handle it again next season. Mclntyre 's new place proved its worth last week. While their regular customers come out to the old store, many new ones found the new place. Haury & Sons say their pot plants were especially good and they did a fine business. There were fewer wagons on the streets selling plants this season. Either the small growers who sell in this way failed to have their stock ready, or the cold weather kept them indoors. F. B. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Christmas trade was, in most cases, above expectations. The volume was probably greater than last year, but the high-priced stock moved slowly. Roses had an exceptionally good call; the bet- ter grades brought $12 to $15 per hun- dred, while shorts brought $5 to $10. The market was loaded with carnations, starting out with $8 for red and $6 for pink, and it was hard to move white ones at $2 toward the end. Car- nations costing $8 per hundred must be retailed at $2 per dozen, which, I think, is a little stiff, and I think the time will come when the growers will realize this; $1.50 per dozen is enough for good carnations at any time. The trade is gradually drifting into blooming plants more and more each year, and the time seems not far away when there will be an end of the high prices. Cut poin- settias did not move so well as in former years, bringing $12.50 to $20 per hundred. American Beauties did not have a good call; the price started out at $12 per dozen for the best, but dropped to $6 to $9 later, and they were not cleaned up'at that. Violets had a fair demand, bringing $15 per thou- sand for doubles. Paper Whites, Roman hyacinths and stevia had their usual call. There were no sweet peas on the market this year, owing to the recent cloudy weather. The supply of green goods was more than equal to the demand. There seemed to be a heavy call for holly, but the market was well supplied and there was some left. The supply of Christ- mas trees was a little short. Roping, garlands, etc., were equal to the de- mand. Smilax did not have its usual call. In pot plants, the medium and lower- priced plants sold exceedingly well. The higher-priced ones and made-up baskets did not sell so well as hereto- fore. There was no end of fine azaleas, poinsettias, begonias, cyclamens and other blooming plants, and the trade in this line was good. Lorraine be- gonias were plentiful; this plant is be- coming a drag on the market, owing to its poor keeping qualities. Various Notes. Fred Stolte, of A. Wiegand's Sons Co., and John Chisholm, of Bertermann Bros. Co., were both caught napping last week, cashing checks for appar- ently good customers. A well dressed young man, seemingly with a little more money than the ordinary person, priced holly blankets; on being in- formed that they were $5 each, he thought he should have one a little bet- ter, and ordered one for $10, giving a check for $20 and getting $10 in change. A. Wiegand's Sons Co. reports a highly satisfactory Christmas trade. This firm had an unusually large stock of blooming plants, most of which were sold. Clarence Thomas, with the Hill Floral Co., reports the best Christmas trade that this firm has ever had, be- ing far ahead of last year. Baur & Steinkamp had a fine cut of carnations for Christmas. A. F. J. Baur and family have been spending a few days at Richmond, Ind., with relatives. Bert Hitz had a large number of first- class azaleas and poinsettias for the wholesale market. H. L. W. MOTT-LY MXJBINOS. Victor Qroshens, Roslyn, Pa., grows bouvardia on the propagating benches when they are not needed for roses and has found it, taking space for space, as profitable of late as Beau- ties. The Beauties are coming into their own, -now that the opera season has begun. Sunburst and the Killar- neys do beautifully here. William Wunder, Pittsville, Pa., il- lustrated a paradox when his finest blooms of Carnation Matchless scored the lowest figure on record, 1% cents, in the week preceding Thanksgiving. The equinox has been passed, and more settled and satisfactory prices prevail. He has a fine lot of poinsetti^ls and berried plants. W. Edwards, superintendent of the Van Lindley greenhouses, Pomona, N. C, believes that with the addition of the latest house, 24x500 feet, they have one of the largest plants in the south. American Beauty and Richmond roses, among the specialties here, are in prime condition. The extensive nur- sery is supervised by J. Sykes, al- though the veteran founder, J. Van Lindley, now past the eightieth mile- stone, takes much pleasure from the business. A fine block of the grace- ful Cedrus Deodara was seen. It seems to be in its element in this sec- tion of the country. Diggs & Beadles, Richmond, esti- mate the last season as being quite satisfactory. Though early crops were not abundant, the truckers obtained good prices, so that the balance showed up well. T. W. Wood & Sons, Richmond, prophesy that the export trade in grass seed will be tremendous later, turning the tables, as it were. W. H. May & Son,. Alexandria, Va.,. voice the high opinion of many in the seed trade regarding the seed de- partment of The Review. There being no recognized seed journal, this comes the nearest to it. W. M. MaiiJy About P t ^ILJ. Richmond, Ind. — A. F. J. Baur, of Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, and his family were here for a few days.

Leetonia, O. — Ralph Wolfgang, who assists his father, Harry Wolfgang, in his business here, was married recently at New Cumberland, W. Va. The bride was Miss Helen Irene Le Chat. Belmar, N. J. — Lemuel Black, for- merly connected with the Allenhurst Greenhouses, at Allenhurst, N. J., has rented the greenhouses of John Alls- pach, at Eleventh avenue and F street. He wUl do landscape work, in addition to handling plants and cut flowers. New Orleans, La. — Max Scheinuk has bought two adjoining lots at Suburban Acres, a newly opened section. Morton, HL — Wm. L.

He was quite sick last winter. In his absence, Mrs. Clapp is carrying on the business. Ogden, Utah. — An addition to the list of florists who have lost money by cashing checks for strangers who placed small orders is B. Van der Schuit. A man who had worked the same game so many times that he was already in jail when Mr. Van der Schuit placed his complaint, ordered a fern and jardiniere sent to another ad- dress, from which it was returned, and got $12.75 from a $15 check. Mr. Van der Schuit got his fern and jardiniere back, but not the $12.75. RJ»r9»iBlTiq||5PfrWP9pPW!NDS JJ ^^ Brussels, Belgium. — All flowers grown in this vicinity are required to be sold here in the capital, but the prices are such that many florists do not take the trouble to send their stock to mar- ket. Ghent, Belgium. — With no mails here, most of the growers in the district who have foreign connections have estab- lished postal addresses at Sas Van Ghent, Holland, a messenger calling for the mail periodically. London, England. — One of the chief difficulties the trade is encountering is delays in transportation. Both domes- tic and export shipments are delayed, the latter suffering perhaps less than the stock less carefully prepared. Trier, Germany— In a letter to Myer Heller, Newcastle, Ind., Peter Lam- bert says: "I am not in the army. We have plenty of soldiers. There are still millions of young men and those 40 to 45 years old, who are not yet called. I think we have now about seven and one-quarter millions of armed soldiers, and our friends, the Austrians, have four and one-half millions, mak- ing together about twelve millions. When necessary we could send five mil- lions more against our enemies. We are quite busy in our trade and manu- facturing. In all towns you cannot see that there is a terrible war on the other side of our frontiers. We make our shipments to your country through Rotterdam, Holland." Ghent, Belgium. — Although on the edge of the battlefield, conditions here have improved of late. Of first im- portance is the opening of transporta- tion; coal is available, although it costs twice as much as ever before. The German army has not done much dam- age to greenhouses or nurseries, but labor has been scarce. However, where stock has been housed it now can be kept clear of frost. Arthur De Smet, president of the trade syndicate, made representations to the German military authorities which resulted in the re- sumption of exports via Holland, but the quantity of stock which has gone has not been large. Great quantities of stock, especially azaleas, remain on hand and the year's sales do not in any way compare with peaceful sea- sons. Ypres, Belgium. — V. Bouckenooghe, whose greenhouses and nursery were at length destroyed by shellfire, has taken refuge, with his family, at Burnley, England. Paris, France. — The French govern- ment has decided to allow a train to be made up daily to carry flowers from the south of France, but because mili- tary trains have right of way the run- ning time is doubled. It therefore takes three days for the outdoor .flow- ers of the Riviera to reach Paris, and four days to reach London. . Ollloules, France. — A good many of the Italians who constituted the labor in the French bulb fields have left for Italy and planting has not been as good as usual. So far as prices for 1915 crop are concerned, we do not know anything about it, but for all we can see they will be about the same as last year, if deliveries can be made. A. Bernard, Fils, is in the service as a chemist in the military hospital at Marseilles. Rotterdam, Holland.— A report from the bulb district, dated December 4, says: "Hyacinths will be cheaper in all grades next season, the demand having been less than usual, in conse- quence of the European war, so that we had to plant our surplus stocks. As to tulips, we expect the better class varieties, as Couronne d'Or, Vuurbaak, Tea Rose, Lucretia, Boule de Neige, Couleur Cardinal, Le Matelas, Prince of Austria, Proserpine, Rose Luisante and a few others, will be rather less in price, but Chrysolora, Duchess de Parma and Keizerskroon have proved to be scarce and will be much dearer next season. All pink and rose colored varieties are fairly plentiful. Darwin tulips are getting more and more popu- lar in America, but prices will be easier next season. Narcissi cleared out well, with the exception of ornatus and Sir Watkin, while there has been a short supply of most leading sorts, notably extra double-nosed Emperor, Empress, Victoria, Golden Spur, Barrii con- spicuus, Stella, Elvira, Glory of Leiden and Mrs. Langtry. The crop of Double Von Sion always is uncertain, even if the acreage of stock planted out is sufficiently large." 20 The Florists' Review Decembeb si, 1914. EatabUshed. 1J89T, by G. L. GRANT.

The gfrafters are busy — the Manetti stocks have arrived and are of excellent quality. One of the big sellers this Christmas was the little red wreath for limousine windows. A LOT of people in the trade have done an excellent business in the last few months, but their profit is all on their books. Next to the evil of lax credits and slow collections, the greatest handicap in this trade is the practice of quoting as many different prices as there are customers. The weekly news letter of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture for December 23 bad an excellent article on indoor win- dow boxes, calculated to increase their use in the rural districts. The European war did not result in the expected general shortage of florists' supplies for Christmas, although a few items were short and some of the novel- ties failed to materialize. If it were not that a lot of people consider only what they pay, without a thought as to what they get, some folks we know would find business a lot duller than it ever has been. There seems to be a growing belief that express rates will have to go up if the companies are to live; they undoubt- edly are having a hard time. But the average florist finds the new rates, one way or another, as high as the old. MAIL SESVIOE.

The paper was mailed as usual Thurs- day, December 24. One reader, half a mile from the office, reports his copy reached him Tuesday, December 29. "HAPPY NEW YEAE." No doubt 1914 has been a year of unusual difficulty for the majority of the readers of The Review, the last five months having been the most try- ing the trade ever has known. Conse- quently the general exchange of New Year's greetings is less of a common- place— less of a formality — than it had become. Everybody means it this year — it comes from the bottom of one's heart. "Happy and Prosperous!" Prosperity is not essential to true hap- piness, but it helps, helps a lot. The Review most sincerely wishes renewed, permanent prosperity to every member of the trade and a Happy New Year to all. ■ HONORABLE MENTION. Not a few subscribers save thenar selves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or some- times $5, instead of the dollar-bill thai insures fifty-two visits of the paper.

Y. Weage & Tyler, Coldwater, Mich. Plttet, Albert, Indianapolis, Ind. Miller & Son, Pontlac, lU. The Review stops coming when the subscription runs out. The green notice with the last copy tells the story; no bills are run up; no duns sent. FIVE MONTHS OF WAE. Now that the great conflict in Europe has run five months its effect on busi- ness conditions in this country can be estimated with some -degree of accur- acy. So many new channels of busi- ness are opening, as a result of the closing of certain old ones, that many further changes in conditions are sure, but they will come more slowly than those of the last five months. Busi- ness has made a wonderful recovery since the paralysis that followed the declarations of war. But it still is be- low normal in most lines. Of course individual experiences differ; there are florists in the grain states who say business never was better, while the heaviest decreases have been felt in the manufacturing districts along the At- lantic seaboard. Under the circum- stances it may be useless to try to lever- age the effect of the war, but it looks as though the florist who finds his sales for the five months not more than twenty per cent below those of the same time last year, when business was specially good, should feel that he has done his share. In a recent interview Lord Kitchen- er, head of the British war office, was quoted as saying that the war will last not less than three years. The opinion, and of course it is nothing more than an opinion, is worthy of serious consideration, for it may be doubted if conditions in general busi- ness or in the florists' trade will be- come normal so long as the war lasts — perhaps not for a long time afterward. A readjustment in the trade seems necessary. TWO WAYS. He who keeps his eyes on the horiton stnmblea less than he who studies the cobblestones. — An- cient Chinese philosopher. One man's aim is to edit his news- paper so it will be as nearly like an- other as he can get it. A second man's aim is to make his paper as dis- tinctly different as circumstances will permit. Or, stated another way, one man's idea is to divide the field with his competitors, while the other's plan is to create a free field for all. I consider The Review, as improved recently, far and away the most convenient of the various florists' trade papers. The placing of the index in the front has, in my opinion, added decidedly to the value of the paper, to say nothing of ths other improved features. I take three trade pa- pers, and while I find much of value in each of the others, if I had to cut down to one paper, I would let the others go and retain The Review. — Philip Marot, Swarthmore, Pa., December 22, 1914. MAKING CREDITS. Deciding, usually in a hurry, whether or not a man is entitled to credit is not the easiest task in the world — not if the question is to be decided right in a large majority of the cases. It is easy enough to pass judgment in accordance with commercial agency rat- ings, but a large number of florists have no ratings; nor 'can they make a showing of assets that will justify the extension of credit. If there ever was another line of business in which a good name was of greater value or more zealously to be guarded, that line does not suggest itself at the moment. CHIOAGK). The Market The story of the Christmas market in Chicago, that part of it not covered in last week's issue, is quickly told: It was highly unsatisfactory to everyone whose interests lie with the wholesale and producing end. The retailers came out a little better. There was far too much stock. The supply, everyone agrees, was much the largest the market ever has seen at Christmas. Perhaps a good illustration would be to say the increase was repre- sented by the quantity left over, about the usual number of flowers being sold. But prices were not so good, even, as last Christmas, so it is easy to figure out that most growers and practically all wholesalers took in less money than they had counted on, and less than last year. The exceptions would be those who cut little last Christmas and cut heavily this year. A few such are known, especially among the carnation growers. The worst sufferers were those who cut little, as prices were so low their sales shrunk even more than the quantity of stock handled. In such an event it is difficult to arrive at any- thing like actual figures, but it prob- ably will not be far out of the way if it be said that twenty per cent more flowers than last year brought twenty per cent less money. There are those whose supply increased much more and there are those whose sales shrunk even worse. An excellent illustration of the state I>BC»MB«t 81, 1914.

Mention Thp Review when you •write. of the market is the report of one wholesaler, who says that where last year his house bought over $2,000 worth of stock from other wholesalers, this Christmas less than $100 worth was so purchased. Everybody had enough. The shipping trade was the backbone of the market. The orders were fully as numer- ous as at the best previous Christmas, but they were not so large as usual. The out-of-town people wanted good stock, if not always the longest stems, and did not expect to get flowers for next to nothing just because the market was overstocked. After the shipping orders were out all the houses were in the same boat. An unexpected feature was that while the larger stores, cater- ing to the better class of trade, seemed to buy about as many cut flowers as ever, numbers of the smaller stores appeared to buy scarcely anything — they had prepared to do the Christmas business practically all with plants and supply house stock and it was too late to change their plans when it was found the market was overloaded with cut flowers. Eegretfully, it must be recorded that growers' averages in many cases were pulled down by the shipping of the worst lot of pickled stock this market has seen in many a day. With cuts so large and the market so weak as was the case between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it was only natural, perhaps, that growers should hold back their stock. They might have got away with it if the supply of fresh stock had run short, but with more fresh flowers than could be sold there was little chance for anything that showed signs of age. One flower was in about as bad a situation as another; the oversupply extended to practically all important lines. Perhaps it was worst with carna- tions. Some estimates of the quantity offered put it as high as three times last year's Christmas supply and there are individual growers who are known to have shipped from four to six times as many as in the same week last year. That sleepy and split flowers should have no saJe was not to be wondered at, and of course the market weakened rapidly after the shipping demand had been satisfied. Even red was left. The eastern Beauties did no good; no more Beauties were sold, either at wholesale or retail, at this year's low prices than have been sold at better prices in previous years. Retailers who bought in the east are said to have come out all right, but wholesalers who speculated were lucky if they broke even and the eastern stock spoiled the market for local growers. Relatively, roses did better than anything else. There was an oversupply, it is true, but good roses at from 8 cents to 15 cents sold well. The novelty roses were most in demand, of course, but fine, long Killarney could be had at such reason- able prices that it held down the prices for the novelties. Mrs. Russell sold up to 50 cents per flower, as did Milady, but the shorter lengths suffered by com- parison with the Killarney offered at the same price. Russell was carried over, the same as other roses. Rich- mond for once went around, and more. Violets were, contrary to general ex- pectation, as much in oversupply as anything else. The quantities of Beau- ties and violets ordinarily sold in New York and Philadelphia that this time came to Chicago was the subject for wide remark. Violets sold well in the good retail stores and had it not been for the volunteer shippers the market would have had a pleasant story to tell on this item. Singles were not nearly so plentiful as the Hudson river doubles. There were moments when poinsettias were not easy to find, but late arrivals went unsold. Cattleyas and sweet peas were the least plentiful of flowers, but no complaint is heard. It is well under- stood that when roses and carnations are in oversupply there can be no short- age of miscellaneous flowers, so all the other items may be dismissed with the Dbcbmbbb 81, 1014.

In the retail stores a somewhat better story is told. Taking them as a whole, they came much nearer equaling last year than the wholesalers did. They had nearly all stocked more heavily than usual on medium-priced plants and on ruscus baskets, etc. A good many appear to have made no attempt to push cut flowers, although of course they all sold more or less and some of those who advertised liberally did the largest business in their history. It is ^^^ ?^^.^*°''® wai^d on between 1,500 and 1 600 customers December 24. In- evitably, a few plants were left, but it was a fair clean-up. The same may be said for the supply-house stock. If business had been better than expected the stores would have finished off with a run on cut flowers, but it was about al over by the time the plants were sold. In general the retailers got their stock enough cheaper this year so they came out about as weU as usual, al- though there are numerous exceptions. The market was quiet after the holi- day. All flowers were in large supply and prices lower than usual during the days between Christmas and New Year's. There was some increase in the shipping business as the middle of the week approached, but the Christmas experience operated against any con- siderable booking of advance orders and, so far as Chicago is concerned, 1914 is expiring quietly. George Wienhoeber's Shift. Perhaps the most interesting item of news developed by the Christmas rush is the announcement of the purchase of the store of Lubliner & Trinz, 41 South Wabash avenue, by George Wien- hoeber, for the last twelve years man- ager of the Fleischman Floral Co. Mr. Wienhoeber is to take possession Jan- uary 1 and will conduct the business under his own name. Even those who have not approved the methods of advertising by which the large business of the Fleischman concern has been built up will concede that Mr. Wienhoeber has had wonderful success at the Jackson boulevard store and will hope to see him do equally well for himself on Wabash avenue, where he has acquired a 10-year lease on favorable terms. Lubliner & Trinz have for some time had interests in the moving picture line that have overshadowed their flo- rists' enterprise. The store was offered for sale some time ago with the idea of devoting all their time to the films. Dr. Maurice hubel, president of the Fleischman Floral Co., has not yet an- nounced the appointment of a manager to succeed Mr. Wienhoeber. Various Notes.

All that is asked for the exclusive rights in Illinois is $5,000 and a penny a flower for the stock treated. The cor- respondent asks for a box of flowers on which to demonstrate! If people could keep cut flowers six months it would mean the end of the greenhouse business, but there seems no reason for immediate alarm. August Poehlmann has accomplished something worth while in arranging for a direct connection between the Morton Grove office of Poehlmann Bros. Co. and the system of the Chicago Tele- phone Co., via the Rogers Park ex- change, thus doing away with toll and the delays incident to calling through long distance. The greenhouse call now is Rogers Park 684. Charles Erne attributes the lack of demand for Christmas to the accumula- tion of unusually large supplies of stock all through the country, as the result of slack business and cold weather dur- ing the preceding fortnight. He thinks that had business been brisk or the weather warm no such accumulations of stock would have been possible and the normal Christmas demand would have resulted. The A. L. Randall Co. is busy this week taking inventory in the supplies department. The clean-up on Christmas specialties is said to have been the best since the company went into the supply business. Cliflford Pruner has been at home for a week, nursing his bad leg. N. P. Miller says Kennicott Bros. Co. received 800 King gladioli from Florida one day too late for Christmas. The entire shipment had been sold for de- livery December 24. Felix Reichling says Peter Reinberg cut 75,000 carnations Christmas week and had to buy 1,500 December 24 to complete the filling of orders. The Beauty crop was a few days late. The E. C. Amling Co. had quite a quantity of pompon mums for Christ- mas, but found the buyers had lost their appetite for them. Stock that sold quickly during its season could not be cleaned up. Jonquils arrived in time for Christmas. As indicating the increase in the cost of growing flowers, N. J. Wietor mentions as one item that Pocahontas coal that once cost, in Rogers Park, $3.10 per ton now costs $3.75. When thousands of tons are burned in a sea- son, the difference is important. Winterson's Seed Store reports an excellent call for Spirsea Gladstone, the importations of this variety being cleaned up ahead of Queen Alexandra. A. T. Pyfer says the Joliet plant of the Chicago Carnation Co. did not cut nearly so heavily this Christmas as last, but that the stock from the Pyfer & Olsem range more than made up the difference, so that considerably more flowers were handled than last year. C. L. Washburn reported C. E. Qul- lett, of W. H. Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, m., a visitor December 28. Mr. Wash- burn makes little complaint as to De- cember business.

There should be a large attendance, as there will be an exhibition of novelties, in addition to the installation of a new man for each office. Mrs. Frank Williams, proprietor of the Atlas Floral Co., reports sending out an unknown messenger with Christ- mas deliveries valued at $60 that never were heard of afterward. Otherwise, business would have been satisfactory. The Boston Store is to rebuild the northwest corner of State and Madison street and it is stated on authority that a regular flower department will be started, preferably on lease to an out- sider. Heretofore the store has had occasional big sales, but has not handled flowers or plants regularly. John Zech indicates that he would make no complaint as to the sales for Christmas week except that, with nor- mal conditions, the quantity of stock handled would have given a total far in excess of the best previous record of his firm. The Fleischman Floral Co. is reported to have received $2,000 for a decoration at the Blackstone hotel December 29 for J. Ogden Armour. A. L.

PITTSBUBaH. The Market. Christmas was most peculiar. Trade was quiet the week before and buyers were slow about placing orders for cut flowers up until the last minute, when there was a grand rush. The wholesale houses can probably say they sold more and better flowers than ever before, but the prices were lower and the total of business will probably be less. The wholesalers had their troubles with the express companies, which were swamped. The greatest losses were on violets. The shipments which should have come in Thursday morning did not arrive until Christmas morning, after all business was over. From the retail stores there are con- flicting reports, but all were of one mind on the plant question; the plant sales broke all records. Some reported slow sales on cut flowers, while others admitted they had sold more flowers than ever before, but prices were much below the usual holiday level. How- ever, taking all in all, I believe they all had a much better business than they expected. The green goods end must have been bad, especially from the shippers' viewpoint, as much of the holly and wild smilax was sold for less than the freight and today the railroad people are offering the trade smilax still on the track for the freight charges. Put- ting this stock on the market outside the trade, which handles the product the balance of the year, makes for the wholesalers a lot of dissatisfied custom- ers while affording no profit to the shippers. The plantsmen all seemed pleased, as they cleaned up everything in blooming stock. The sale of palms and ferns was below the average, but these are staple goods and will be all right for Easter and spring trade. Clarke. E. J. McCallum, of the McCallum Co., states that this concern was obliged to " close its doors to the Christmas trade," being completely sold out of stock in all lines.

On the whole, Christmas business was not at all satisfactory. Prices were largely responsible for the slump, as the quantity of stock moved was as large as, if not larger than last year 's, but the total sales were not nearly up to what they should have been. Every florist seems to agree that cut flowers did not move as well as they should. Plants, however, sold excep- tionally well and were in excellent shape. The loss, therefore, was at the cut flower end of the business, as wreaths, ruscus and other decorative stock sold readily. On Monday and Tuesday the market showed a lot of poor stock, for which there was practically no call, while the demand was heavy for first- class stock at good prices for long dis- tance shipments. Taking the whole week into consideration, stock in gen- eral cleaned up fairly well and little was held over. Carnations were good the latter part of the week, but were far cheaper than last year. Owing to the quantity of poor stock received early in the week, the ice boxes were overloaded until Thursday, when the demand became so great that it was necessary to use some old stock to fill all orders. / Roses were fine and sold well. There was surely no shortage, as had been predicted, but as the sales were heavy, they were cleaned up fairly well. There was an enormous demand for Mrs. Chas. Russell roses, especially the long-stem- med stock, which was so fine that it put American Beauties in the back- ground and made the prices on Beauties drop accordingly. Russells were sold as high as $7.50 per dozen and the stock was well worth the price. Wisconsin-grown violets were prac- tically the only thing on the market in which there was a shortage. Stock was scarce, but fine, and as there was a wonderful demand, the stock brought exceptionally good prices. All good stock, of every description, was pretty well cleaned out Thursday evening, and with the quantity of stock disposed of, had prices been what they should, the Christmas business would have shown up much better than last year's. H.J.S. NEW YORK. The Market. Christmas, from the wholesale cut flower standpoint, will go on record as the least profitable in history. Never were prices so low, and stock never was so abundant. Who ever heard of violets the day after Christmas selling at 35 cents per hundred in the New York market, or lilies at 4 cents each, orchids at 25 cents each and carnations at $10 per thousand f Roses were the backbone of the en- 28 The Florists^ Review Decbmbsb 31, 1914.

THE SEFTON MFG CO., "S,^kS»S.- Mention The Review when you write. tire structure and saved the day, for, notwithstanding a generous supply, prices for all varieties held steady. American Beauties were specially in demand, with selected flowers bringing 75 cents each, and none too many for the demand. The novelties also were disposed of at satisfactory prices, but no unreasonable or abnormal quotations prevailed. All the standard sorts ranged from as low as 2 cents up to 10 cents, and the leading novelties did not go above $3 per dozen. The break in carnations was unex- pected. The supply was enormous and the best prices were obtainable early in the week. The nearer the dawn of Christmas the lower fell the prices, many thousands remaining unsold on Christmas eve. Even the red varieties shared in the general slump. From $4 per hundred down is a fair summary of the carnation situation. A remarkable overflow of orchids was one of the surprises of the holiday season. One firm handled 5,000 of them. Prices were disappointing. Val- ley seldom sold above 4 cents, although much of it was well worth 5 cents. Lilies fell to 6 cents for the best, and large quantities sold as low as 4 cents. There were few mums and only a light demand for them. Violets were aggres- sive and independent when the holiday week opened and humble when it closed. The firms which make the violet their specialty were greatly disappointed. The accumulations were heavy as the w^k closed and prices were down to less than half the Monday quotations. There was a great abundance of other flowers, daisies, mignonette, hya- cinths, narcissi, pansies, wallflowers and forget-me-nots. Callas, lilacs, aspara- gus, smilaz and evergreens of every variety were also plentiful. The ribbon houses found the demand lighter than usual. The supply houses enjoyed the greatest prosperity of their careers and the g^'een goods men were simply overwhelmed with business. A cold wave was another trouble- maker that arrived December 24 and held through Sunday, zero being reached December 26, the coldest De- cember weather ever known in New York. The drop in temperature added to the troubles of the plant growers and the retail florists, everything hav- ing to be heavily wrapped before de- livery. But it was a plant Christmas nevertheless, with few calls for the high-priced combinations, but a great number for the medium-priced offerings and about equal to less warring seasons in the aggregate of distribution.

It was a white Christmas. Nobody expected it, or the cold wave that rushed in at the same time as the snow, and nobody expected a particularly good Christmas in the cut flower market. Per- haps nobody was disappointed in this view, as the Christmas business lacked the snap of former years. Yet when it is considered how general is the de- pression in other lines, business was as good as a conservative forecast could possibly have expected. The wholesale commission houses and the large retail stores did about the same amount of business in dollars and cents as in their best previous years, but it took more flowers to do it, and more effort. Prices, of course, were much lower. The growers, and some of the retail stores, have not done so well as in previous years, the former on ac- count of the low prices, particularly where their stock was not just so, the latter through the uncertain shifting sands of patronage in these unsettled times. The extreme cold December 24 undoubtedly cut down sales in the re- tail stores. The market opened with a heavy load of flowers that made the asking prices moderate. These prices were maintained for the select stock until the shipping orders were half filled, when, with increased receipts, they broke on several of the staples in quan- tity lots. From that time on the mar- ket was weak and irregular as a re- sult of the heaviest receipts ever seen here. Business continued up till Christmas morning. When it was over there still were numbers of flowers un- sold in the commission houses. Some of these could have been sokl had they i BERGER BROS.

It must be said in justice to the wholesalers that their asking prices were moderate, quite moderate for the season; that they spared no effort to move the stock, and that they would have done so save for the unfavorable conditions. Beauties were one of the few flow- ers that could be controlled. The price was fixed at 75 cents each for the best and it stayed there throughout. Red roses came next in popular favor. They were chiefly Richmond, with a few Hadley and d'Arenberg. They brought from 30 cents for the specials down to 6 cents for the shorts, and were all sold. Pink roses were the weakest spot on the list. Russell, Mock and other new roses led, at ex- »3«K!?fyWfW|WjrS!?»fiWT!^^^^ : Decehbeb 31, 1914.

The price ranged from 15 cents, except for a few extra select that brought more, down to 3 cents, and many were left. White Killarney sold better than the parent variety, chiefly because there were so few of them. Sunburst and Ward were in demand. Maryland sold a little better than Killarney, grade for grade, probably because there were not so many of them. Carnations started out bravely at 8 cents for select stock of Mrs. C. W. Ward, with 10 cents and occasion- ally 12 cents for extra fancy red. When the shipping orders were all filled a rush of carnations came in. Some of them could have been used earlier to advantage; as it was, they broke the market completely, bringing the price down to 4 cents, while white went begging; no one wanted that color.

Valley went nicely at 3 cents and 4 cents; gar- denias, briskly at from $3 to $5 per dozen for good flowers. Orchids were in heavier supply than expected. They fared fairly well until the close of business, when signs of weakness were shown. Fancy mignonette broke from 8 cents to 6 cents, with few buyers and many unsold. Paper Whites were not favored, even at ridiculously low prices, $15 per thousand. Callas were quite scarce at $2 to $2.50 per dozen. Easter lilies were more plentiful at $1.50 to $2 per dozen. There were lots of poinsettias at $3 per dozen. Greens were not in demand. Sweet peas brought from $1 to $2 per hun- dred in limited numbers. There were few Bomans from $2 to $3 and a mod- erate number of daisies and pansies a little over normal in price. The Christmas plant market showed a falling oflP from the high water mark of last year. Flowering plants were most popular, cyclamens and poinsettias par- ticularly so. Begonias gave signs of waning popularity, due to several causes. The basket sizes of flowering plants had a great run. Made-up baskets and hampers were sold in num- bers, probably a little less than last year. Small and medium foliage plants were better stock than the larger sizes. Crotons of bright color were in favor, but dracsenas are not so well known as they deserve to be. Table ferns were used in great number. While there were no marked changes in prices, it waa noticed that a little better value was given, especially in foliage plants. The cut flower market since Christ- mas has been quiet. Fresh stock of quality has been in fair demand at prices that have declined rather more than usual. This is due probably to the depression caused by the leftover stock, which, while nobody wants it overly much, everybody wants to use as a club. The receipts are, of course, lighter, but the bright, sunny weather is bring- ing in the flowers that just missed in quantity quite sufficient to suit every- body. Various Notes. John P.

The Florists' Review 87 the low prices of cut flowers, princi- pall7 carnations. The reason given by a commission man was that the grow- ers had at least a twenty-five per cent larger cut than was expected; conse- quently the larger supply considerably lowered the price. F. C. Bauer had on exhibition some blooms of Francis Scott Key rose, which were of an un- usually bright color. The librarian was authorized to purchase a number of books on horticulture, for addition to the club library. After the question box had been taken up and discussed, the club adjourned. Various Notes. W. T, Myers has been confined to his home since December 18, with a car- buncle on his neck. Erysipelas threat- ened to set in. This put him out of the running during the busiest season of the year. J. J. Perry has recovered sufficiently to resume his duties as manager of the S. S.

STATE NURSERY CO. ^""•Kj/L^iiS^^ HELENA, MONTANA CUT FLOWERS BOSTON. The Market. The general verdict seems to be that, everything considered, Christmas trade was remarkably good. The growers and wholesalers did not do nearly so well aa a year ago, but the retailers did a splendid business, in some cases going well ahead of 1913. It is some years since we experienced such cool weather prior to and following Christmas. This hurt the plant trade considerably and caused many buyers to turn to cut flow- ers instead. The best selling flowering plants were azaleas, of which more could have been sold, Cincinnati begonias and cycla- mens. Poinsettias fell off decidedly in popularity and large numbers were un- sold, the delicate nature of the plants no doubt militating against their sale. Ardisias did not sell so well as usual, nor did solanums. Oranges with well colored fruit had a good sale. There was also a good sale for camellias, ericas, ferns and primulas. Roses were easily the leaders among cut flowers, being far ahead of carna- tions in favor and selling out much better. Select Beauties made $50 to $75 per hundred; none reached the $100 mark this year. More Beauties could have been sold. It was feared that the demand for these would fall off heavily, but such was not the case. Bussells were not numerous; the best made $4 to $5 per dozen. Sunburst and Ophelia made from $4 to $32 per hundred; Stanley, Mock and Killamey Queen, $3 to $32; A scHRoercb •'* S6 BroMlway "^ DETROIT MICHIGAN John Breitmeyer's Sons Cmtf Bnadvir ui Gntiit kf%n DETROIT, MICH.

Ward, $3 to $20; Hadley and Richmond, $4 to $40; Killarney, Killarney Brilliant and White Killarney, $2 to $16. The demand for the last named was the weakest. Carnations fell far below other years in prices and popularity. A small num- ber of selects made $8, but $6 was the more general price for good Beacon, Champion, Dagmar and Pocahontas. Pink Delight and other good pinks made $4 to $5,. whites $2 to $3; yellows no one seemed to want. On Christmas day many whites sold as low as $1 per hundred. A year ago some growers averaged $8 per hundred for all their flowers. Violets sold well at $1, $1.25 and $1.50 per hundred. Valley made $3 to $4, sweet peas 75 cents to $1, some fine freesia $12.50, calendulas $8, bachelor's buttons $1 to $2, yellow marguerites $1 to $2. Chrysanthemums were numerous, but did not sell well. Qardenias made $4 to $6 per dozen; Cattleya Trianse, $6 to $9 per dozen; C. Percivaliana, $4 to $5 per dozen. A number of tulips and Trumpet narcissi appeared. Of Paper Whites, Bomans and stevia there was the usual glut and low prices. Antir- rhinums did not sell well. Since Christmas the market has lacked animation. Christmas night a cold wave struck us, with minimums locally of 6 to 10 degrees below zero, with still lower readings December 27. Some plants and cut flowers have ar- rived frozen. Boses continue to sell better than carnations. Violets are not abundant and move well, but nearly all other flowers are moving slowly. A little spurt is hoped for December 31, but New Year's trade locally is not specially heavy. Various Notes. Dealers in greens all did a fine busi- ness. Laurel wreathing was in short supply, but all other greens were suffi- cient for demands. Orders ■elicited f 01 all parts of Gonnectioiii Hartford, Conn.

Bobert Montgomery had a splendid cut of roses for the holidays, some 15,000 all told, and no local growers had finer quality flowers. William Sim had over 75,000 single violets for Christmas. He has quanti- ties of sweet peas coming on, but will not commence picking before February. The W. W. Edgar Co. reports a good Christmas clean-up on flowering plants, azaleas and Cincuinati begonias going finely. Wm. Caraher, salesman for the Suter- meister estate, of Beadville, had some splendid Christmas freesias, which made $12.50 per hundred. William Hannan & Sons, of Dor- chester, are cutting French Golden Spur narcissi in quantity, in addition to Lilium longiflorum. J. A. Bttdlong & Son Co., of Auburn, B.

In addition to cut flowers and plants^ baskets of evergreens and colored flow- ers and grasses were in great demand. The Houghton-Gorney Co. did a flne business. Large-sized azaleas and camellias sold especially well, few being unsold. Qalvin's did a tremendous business at both,, the Tremont street and Back Bay stpres. Mr. Galvin says trade at his two Boston stores and at the New York store broke all Christmas records. Poinsettias were the weak feature in flowering plants. American Beauties were in strong demand. Wax Bros, did a splendid business, both in cut flowers and plants, and the sales exceeded those of 1913. H. B. Comley, on Park street, was well pleased with Christmas business, which far exceeded his expectations. At Carbone's, on Boylston street, business was brisk. Here many novel- ties are always to be found, not only in plants but in Italian and other ware. In the latter lines sales were heavy this season. The Rosary, on Boylston street, had an optimistic report and so had Harry Quint, on Tremont street. On Summer street, Mrs, J. W. Rogers and H. Kolow both report excellent business. W. N. C. 8T. L0X7IS. The Market Christmas business in St. Louis, ac- cording to the leading florists, was much better than expected. The volume of business came on Thursday and Friday, but the days preceding were quite dull. In the west end, where society does its buying, the retailers report a great plant trade; anything that looked well sold well, and at good prices. The quality of the plant stock was excellent in every respect. The left-over stock was small. Bright colored stock had first choice. Poinsettias had the best call of all plants sold, and these disap- peared from the stores and show houses with wonderful rapidity. Azaleas came Send aU MARYLAND orders to SAMUEL FEAST & SONS S.

Lorraine begonias ranked next. Large plants did not sell so well as last year, but the smaller ones had a great de- mand. The high prices quoted on cut stock by the wholesalers caused the store men to push plants, which 'feaused a clean-up on plants at all the stores, especially those in the south and west ends of the city. ■The wholesalers who had told of the h^ prices and the scarcity of cut stock found themselves with any amount of stock on hand. Thursday and Friday the 4cmand was not near expectations and prices went down on all grades of Stock, as the retailers and the public will not stand for the sudden high prices. One wholesaler remarked that he had not nearly so much stock as he had had last year, but it did not move; the growers, too, will have to learn not to hold back stock to make the retailers believe there will be a scarcity, and flood the market the last two (lays, expecting to get the high prices quoted. Those who had no advance orders in fared much better than those who had. With prices low- ered, stock began to move, but not so much of it as was expected. The notice- able feature this year was the shortage in violets, sweet peas and Roman hya- cinths. Boses in all varieties were most plentiful, with the greater part of them Killarneys. There were not any too many of the newer varieties. A large number of Wards came in, and a few specials brought $20 per hundred and some as low as $8 and $10. Extra good stock could be had as low as $5 per hundred. Beauties did not move as well at early quotations, but the drop from $12 per dozen to $8 caused some demand later on. Carnations took a sudden drop when stock failed to move, and some extra good stock was sold at $30 and $40 per thousand, with ordinary stock as low as $20 per thou- sand.

Zetlitz THE LEADER as usual. Extra fine poinsettias sold at $3 per dozen and moved well. Many complaints were heard on account of the slow sale of greens and extra good quality holly, with prices extremely low. All retailers remark that this was a great plant Christmas, perhaps better than in any previous year, but in cut flowers it was poorer than in any previ- ous year we know of. As New Year's day calling has been greatly revived, there should be a good demand for cut flowers. Stock should be plentiful, with prices quite moderate. A number of advance orders have been booked for New Year's celebrations. Various Notes. Among the downtown florists, Grimm & Qorly, the Biessen Floral Co., the Mullanphy Flower Co., Alex. Siegel and F. J. Foster had their hands full of Christmas orders and were cleaned up well by Friday noon. These florists go in heavily for cut flowers, and they report that Christmas business this year was as good as any they have had. They also report having handled more plants than usual this Christmas. The Bourdet Floral Co. surely had the largest and best blooming plant stock this year, and the retailers cleaned them out early in the week. Jules Bourdet, head of this firm, s^ys it was a great Christmas. Sanders Nurseries had a grand dis- play, and O. K. Sanders says they never had such a good Christmas as this year, with many out-of-town orders to fill. Special mail deliveries came in as late as 12:30 a. m. and all were filled promptly.

AXEBICAM SEED XBASE ASSOCIATION. Pregident, Lester L. Morse. San Francisco, Ckl. ; Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Thirty-third annual convention, San Francisco, Cal., 191S. Wouldn't this be an excellent year to put an end to the free seed farce f Of course the big red tomato is the feature of the Livingston 1915 catalogue, only this time there are four of them. There is a subdued note in the 1915 catalogue covers. It looks as though the red tomato's potency as an eye-catcher iiad been somewhat forgotten. , It was no mistake to cut the price of peas in the retail catalogues. Except tKat most of the stock was bought a year ago on growing contract, the prices might be lower than they are. The annual convention of the National Canners' Association and allied organiza- tions will attract a large number of seeds- men to New York the week of February 9 to 12. The meeting is to be held at Hotel Astor, : " Among those present at the recent meeting of the Minnesota Canners' Asso- ciation at St. Paul were A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, and C. P. Ouelf, Chicago representative of Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y. Information from Japan indicates that the 1915 crop of giganteum bulbs will be short and that prices will be higher. Large sizes, especially, will be short, it is said, and anything larger than 7 to 9 will cost considerably more than this season. The building in which are the quarters of the Monroe Seed Co., at Monroe, La., was badly damaged by fire on the morn- ing of December 16. The loss to the owners of the building and the occupants is estimated at $4,000, fully covered by insurance. When J. Charles McCuUough, of the J. C. McCullough Seed Co., and Albert IfcCuUough, of J. M. McCullough 's Sons Co., both of Cincinnati, returned home after several weeks* stay in Florida, they brought with them not only photographs but the skeleton of a huge shark, weigh- ing 1,200 pounds, to convince any doubt- ing Thomases of the size of their cap- ture. The Thorburn catalogue, which last season weighed, with the envelope, just over eight ounces, has this season been kept within the flat rate weight limit by cutting the size from 160 pages to 144 pages. This has been accomplished by the use of new cuts, outlined halftones of smaller size than those previously used, which of course necessitated a complete resetting of the book.

I NEW YORK been lost; it ft at least as good and probably better than any of the 113 pre- vious editions distributed by the house. Habold F. Winter, of Sutton & Bona, Beading, England, is calling on the trade in the east. It is stated that the 1814 imports of Japanese lily bulbs by Balph M, Ward & Ck)., New York, total 15,238 cases. In September it was possible to sell at a good price any cold storage valley pips one cared to release — ^but everybody was holding on. Now, with the year's supply assured, cold storage stock of the 1913 crop is not in active request. THB'Itt^ 8. Department of Agripnlture is trying to help the south diversify its erops and has issued two special leaflets, one on hairy vetch and one on rape as a forage crop in the cotton belt, each of which should increase the demai^d for seeds. The gentlemen in charge of the gov- ernment's seed distribution are no^ seek- ing publicity in the matter of theii efforts to purchase stock for 1916. With your Uncle Samuel beet eeed is beet seed, provided it germinates, but there 19 more than the usual reticence this year in the avuncular seed shop in Washington. NOBTH DAKOTA SEED LIEN IJIW. In a suit brought to enforce a lien against crops for the price of seed wheat furnished to grot^ them, the North Dakota Supreme court lately de- cided that the last bona fide delivery of a part of a single purchase of dif- ferent kinds of seeds constitutes the date from which the 30-day limitation for filing a lien begins to run; that a lien is not vitiated by an innocent mis- statement in the lien claim of thb num- ber of bushels of seed furnished, nor by filing it against both the tenant, who bought the seed, and his landlord. (Freeman vs. Clark, 149 Northwestern Reporter 565.) 8. PEA PACEEBS' PLANS. Pea packers as a body are not able to look so far ahead as 1916; the best they can do at the moment is to figure on 1915 — and the prospect seems none too rosy. The journals that are cred- ited with representing the canning in- dustry contradict themselves. In one sentence they say the supply of first quality peas of the 1914 pack is well cleaned up, while in the next they in- dicate the acreage for 1915 will be materially reduced, especially in Wis- consin, the big pea packing state. It would not call for a sharp reduction in the acreage if the 1914 pack really has been cleaned up the way the mar- ket reports say. Packers as a class are not proving specially good sports. They could buy spot seed at a lower price than mcst of them paid on con- tract and they are accepting delivery on the contracts with rather poor grace. Not many canners contract for their full requirements, however, and few of riki -TO THK TIUOB- HFIIDY liriTF QUEDUNBURG, GERMANY IlLllll I IIIL I I Lq (Kstabllsh«d In 1784) ■^■"^■■^B" ttllOWIR aad KXPOIimi oa the venr larsMt seid* t ■■ CHOICE VEGETABLE, FLOWER and FARM SEEDS SPECIALTIES I Beaw.

The introductory page of the Burpee 1915 catalogue is devoted to a state- ment of the eflEects of the war on the supply of seeds, and at two places in the book are paragraphs on the same subject. On page 166 one reads: "Because of the war we are obligeA to omit some varieties of flower seeds which today (October 24, 1914) it does not appear possible to obtain from our growers in Europe. There is some hope, of course, that the seed may arrive later. In that case we shall issue, in February, 1915, a supplementary circu- lar which might be called a 'War Bul- letin,' giving information as to seeds of varieties omitted from this catalogue, which we find by that time our grow- ers on the continent of Europe have been able to forward. Owing to large plantings of fiower seeds on our Ford- hook, Sunnybrook and Floradale Farms, and also to the fact that already sev- eral shipments from Europe have been received, including pansies from Ger- many and other flower seeds from France, England, Italy and Holland, we are -now able to supply seed of every flower and vegetable catalogued on the preceding pages."

You can store them on the floor of a cold cel- lar, with the roots packed in damp 'earth, or heel them in a coldframe, covering the tops with dry leaves, pine needles or some other light material, placing the sashes over these. If you cannot spare a cellar or frame, open . a trench outside on a piece of land which will not hold water and bury the plants completely. Let the crust freeze over, then give the surface a mulch of some kind. They will carry over per- fectly well treated thus in your Oregon climate. C. W.

A 62 The Florists^ Review Dbcxmbbb 81, 1^14. book a practical one — practical in its principles and purpose? That is the question which is uppermost in the mind of the commercial grower, especi- ally when, as in this case, the book is written by an amateur, not by a pro- fessional florist. Well, the same idea, the idea of th^ absolute necessity of practicality, seems to have been uppermost also in the mind of the author — not only up- permost, but permeating his mind en- tirely, as its chief motive. The con- stant desire to be practical is mani- fested throughout the book; it appears in the wording of the title; it appears in the foreword, where the author says that his aim is to supply "practical working rules"; it appears farther on, where he asserts that it is not his in- tention to puzzle the grower "with all the scientific details of each phase of rose culture," but to "give a good working idea of the methods em- ployed." Then he adds: "For those who may care to follow out such mat- ters to their utmost conclusion, the names of exhaustive works are given." The author's endeavor is to supply only such brief, pointed instructions as are needed in everyday work, but he tells the reader where to get quires and reams of more abstruse informatio^i if he wants it. Of course, in his eflfort to make his book practical, the author may not have succeeded in all particulars as well as he would if he were making it his chief business to turn flowers into dollars, and the commercial grower may dis- cover, possibly, that the book does not answer some of the questions that he would most like to ask. He may be quick to accuse the book of sins both of omission and commission. .--^ :But, on the other hand, the very fact that the author is an amateur, with abundant leisure and means for ex- perimentation, gives his book a prac- tical value that it would not otherwise possess. The author, it is said, "has achieved remarkable success in rose growing. It has been a lifelong hobby with him to try out all known varieties, and his rose gardens are famous." He incidentally states in his book that he has annually imported from 300 to 1,000 roses of new varieties. It would be strange if all that expenditure of time and effort and money would not be of some benefit to the commercial grower who cannot afford such ex- penditure. In the chapter entitled "The Best Varieties with their Characteristics," the author gives, first, a list of "six- teen best all-round roses, which have been proved by tests to be the best adapted in beauty and usefulness to outdoor growing." This selection of sixteen is followed by a more general, comprehensive, tabulated list, occupy- ing seventeen pages. All of the especi- ally favored sixteen varieties and a large proportion of the others are shown in the colored illustrations. The author's experiments are con- ducted on his own home grounds, in the "approximate climate of the middle Atlantic states, where the extreme temperature in winter does not often go below zero and the summer heat seldom exceeds 95 degrees," but "sug- gestions are also made," as he says, "for growing roses farther north and farther south." The book is for sale by The Review at the publishers' price.

The law provides that any person, firm or cor- poration that buys or sells in any year more than twenty evergreen trees less than seven inches in di- ameter at the butt as cut, not grown upon his own land, shall be deemed a "dealer in evergreen trees" within the meaning of the other provisions of the law, which make it an offense, pun- ishable by a fine of not more than $300, to become such a dealer without taking out a license; and the court held that the burden was on the prose- cution in this case to show that de- fendant was a "dealer" in the sense defined by the law.

I. — The Everett For- estry Co. filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States Dis- trict court here Thursday, December 24.

This year's immense crop caused con- siderable annoyance, but from the of- ficial report of the department of agri- culture of the state, just issued, the prospect for still greater apple yields 18 something to be seriously reckoned on in the future. "According to this report, 723,199 *PP|6 treea were planted in the state of Washington alone in the spring of 1913. In the fall of 1913, 306,132 more went in, while in the spring of 1914 the number of apple trees coming into bearing was increased another 555,962, a total of 1,585,293 in less than two years. The importance of this to the apple industry, when viewed in the light of the fact that other states of the northwest also show large increases, 13 evident.

The most success- ful method, adopted in Florida, is to take any of the many small shoots which start when a papaw is topped, and, when it is a few inches long, sharpen it to a wedge point, head the leaves back and insert this graft in the wedge made with a sharp knife in a headed-back seedling.

It came up to last year in some cases and was only a little below in others, so taking it as a whole the craft has nothing to complain of, as nearly everyone thought trade would be lighter than last year. There was enough stock to go the rounds, except roses, which were in great demand toward the finish and quite a good many more of certain kinds could have been used, especially Bichmond, Ward and Sunburst. There was a good supply of carnations, as most of the growers were in heavy crop. Violets sold well and were in good supply. The demand for Beauties was about equal to the supply, which was not heavy. Cut poinsettias sold well. The supply of azaleas was heavy, but they were all cleaned up. Cincin- nati begonias moved nicely. Cyclamens, poinsettias, primulas, etc., all found a ready sale and made deliveries extra heavy, as it turned quite cold Christ- mas eve. Christmas trees were at a premium. J. M. DENVEB. The Market. Most of the stores report Christmas business as good as last year, while two or three retailers claim to have done the biggest business of any Christ- mas that they can remember. Azaleas were the best sellers; they were to be had at a wide range of prices, from small Petricks in 4-inch pots, which retailed at $1.25, to some large plants of Hexe, at from $15 to $18. Poin- settias seem to be losing favor every year. A surprisingly small number of them were sold this year. Next to aza- leas, cyclamens were perhaps the best sellers and then Lorraine begonias, Jerusalem cherries, primulas and cine- rarias in the order named. A large number of baskets filled with holly, winterberries, California holly, pine cones and red ribbon were sold at prices rangiag from $1 to $10. Cut flowers of all kinds were plenti- ful and the demand for them good. Carnations retailed from $1 to $1.50 for pink and white to $1.50 to $2 for the reds. Pink and white roses brought from $2 to $4 and the red ones $3 to $5 per dozen. American Beauties were in good demand and brought from $6 MATCHLESS is the best and most profitable white carnation to grow, having no eaual in earliness, vigor of growth and production.- It is superior in size, fragrance and keeping qualities, and is non-bursting.

In spite of rain, wind and snow De- cember 24 and 25, everything salable was moved at good prices, trade being much better than that for any previous Christmas. On account of so much cloudy weather beforehand, it was nec- essary to buy a few cut flowers from other markets, but plants of all kinds were plentiful and of excellent quality, and were more in demand than cut flowers. Medium-sized azaleas and cy- clamens predominated, while begonias, poinsettias and other plants sold fairly well. On account of the extremely bad weather, delivery was a difficult task, but few complaints have been regis- tered. Various Notes. C. W. Crouch had a fine trade and sold out everything clean. Cut flowers, as well as all plants, sold well. C. L. Baum is well pleased with the results of Christmas trade. On com- parison, he finds it better by twenty per cent than any previous Christmas. He had a large amount of funeral work during the week, which, with the enor- mous Christmas trade, worked his force both day and night. A. H. Dailey finds that inexpensive potted plants are far better sellers at Christmas time than cut flowers. He sold out practically everything. Mrs. Sosa Hall Byno reports a splen- did trade, with an increase of twenty- five per cent over that of last year. She had a large supply of poinsettias, which found ready sale at good prices. Addison J. McNutt, although he hag not yet made comparison, feels confi- dent of a nice increase over Christmas of 1913. R. E. M. Hamilton, HL— C. P. Lindsey has erected a greenhouse, 21x100 feet, in which he is growing vegetables for market. He plans to put in flowers as time passes. A Kroeschell boiler is in- installed and up-to-date equipment of every kind has been provided. The plant has been named the Montebello Gardens. NOTICE Inasmuch as Mr. Chas. L. Baum has registered a yellow sport from Mrs. Chas. Bager, and in order to avoid confasion in the jtatare, we have decided to disseminate our stock under the same name. The tiro sports are identical and will be known in the future as Miss Lena Baum. Don't fail to plant some of this splendid new variety the coming season. You will find it just as satisfactory to grow and as good a seller as its parent, the only difference being in the color and that is a splendid shade of clear light yellow.

The Florists' Review 79 Come Out on Top! Keep your boiler up on the ground where it is readily accessible for firing and repairs. There's a way to save time and money— trouble and expense — and still obtain the same drainage facilities. That way is to install the 4ko%ehead SYSTEM The Morehead System keeps your steam apparatus dry. hot; increases the circula- tion and assures a perfect drainage. It feeds the condensate directly to your boilers, thereby maintaining the con- stant temperature so necessary in the greenhouse. And it's so simple, too— so sure. Ask for the complete facta.

But, since the tank is close to the boiler, I would prefer to run a l-mch pipe from the top of the boiler to a point just below the tank The Value of a Thermostat LET A FLORIST TELL IT TJERE is what a greenhouse man said in a letter to The Review: "The ^ ^ value of a thermostat in a greenhouse may possibly interest you. so I take the present opportunity of explaining its advantages. Three weeks ago I in- stalled a Standard thermostat, made by the Standard Thermometer Co., putting it in my rose house, 200 feet from the residence. After sundown each day I set the low contact hand at 57 degrees and the high contact hand at 65 degrees. The black temperature hand, to record 60 degrees, plays between these figures. Should the temperature rise or fall, the alarm bell, just over my bed, rings loudly. I consider this Instrument a boon to any florist with a me- dium-sized range, for it dispenses with the services of a night fireman. With correct firing, I can keep a steady temperature of 60 degrees at night in the rose house and also in four other houses, in all about 5000 feet of glass,"— Thomas E, TowERsoN, Spring Station. Ky.

There will be a rapid upward flow of hot water, and a corresponding down- ward flow through the main tank pipe. To prevent loss of heat, these pipes should both be wrapped, although there would be no danger of their freezing. The hot water will enter the tank and keep it considerably above the freez- ing point. If more convenient, the flow pipe could be connected directly with the tank at the bottom. The plan of build- ing a floor under the tank, as w^l as providing a cover, is a good one, and a box should also be built around the pipes. If the flow pipe is connected as suggested, there will be no occasion for using a coil of heating pipes inside the box. CINCINNATI. The Market. Christmas business, from the retail- ers' point of view, was immense; from the wholesalers' point of view, good, and from the growers' point of view anything but good. The supply was abnormally large and forced prices down to a point that was hardly above the pre-holiday prices. The retailer, buying thus cheaply, was in a position to realize handsome profits. Carnations and roses went begging. This fact in- cluded even American Beauties and red carnations. Violets were about the only flower that cleaned up readily. All others moved rather indifferently. Plants sold well and were more popular than in previous years. After Christmas receipts continued heavy. Plenty of Stock of all kinds is available and it is of a high average quality. The demand, however, is not any too strong and it is absolutely impossible to effect clearances. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell reports a good de- mand for red berries, boxwood and club moss for the holiday trade. Last week's visitors included Joseph Hill, Richmond, Ind.; J. T. Herdegen, Aurora, Ind.; Fred Eupp, Lawrence- burg, Ind., and Henry Lodder, Walter Gray and Karl Heiser, Hamilton, O. C. H. H. William Murphy's friends perpe- trated a surprise at his home Christmas day, when they provided a Christmas tree decorated with toys and various messages of good cheer. Mr. Murphy has been confined to his room for eight weeks and the remembrances from his friends helped greatly in brightening his Christmas d&y. BULL DOG f\cL [U aJ^^B. Pat PAPER RedsteredU. Pat.

Every retail man spoken to so far says his sales ran away ahead of last year's. It appears that the only flower which was not in as heavy demand as ex- pected was the carnation. Possibly this' is due to the great demand for baskets of ferns, etc. These are purchased by those who would otherwise fall back on flowers less expensive than roses. The demand for Beauties this year was exceedingly good. Red roses also cleaned up well. Violets were quite popular. In plants the demand was especially heavy for azaleas, poinsettias and be- gonias. Baskets also sold well. Various Notes. Asman & Dunn report a big holiday trade, as do J. K. Stock and George Davis. The L. Bemb Floral Co. was kept on the jump every minute. This firm has an extensive telegraph trade and no doubt handles the bulk of the out-of-town orders coming to this city. The com- pany also specializes in table decorat- ing, and this work alone keeps con- siderable help busy. John Breitmeyer's Sons, it is needless "to say, had .all they could comfortably handle. They had as many as fifteen automobiles going on Thursday, and found this none too many. B. Schroeter does perhaps the largest plant business in the city, and one order alone amounted to $250 for baskets. This firm also had a big run on pre- pared material and disposed of im- mense quantities. E. A. Fetters had his window beauti- fully decorated as usual, but Wednes- day noon, December 23, the cotton used caught fire in some manner and the whole decoration went up in smoke. For a minute it was thought that the store would follow, but fortunately the fire was confined to the window. Much fine stock was lost. Both J. F. Sullivan and Norman Sulli- van report the best trade ever experi- enced in the history of their respective stores. Norman Sullivan had just put a new delivery car into service and is wondering how he ever got along with- out it. The Schroeter-Stahelin Co. reports a splendid Christmas trade, far beyond all expectations. The firm had several din- ner decorations during the week, which added considerably to the total receipts. John M. Carey did a big business. He recently repainted the whole in- terior of his store, making it quite attractive. The Detroit Floral Co., Robt.

The Market. Christinas business was a riot; that is the only way to describe it. Some stores, particularly those in the down- town district, began to be busy Satur- day, December 19, and by Tuesday they were rushed. Thursday saw the begin- ning of the riot. Anything and every-* thing sold well. There were no leaders this year; each sold what he had and sold it all. Stores that were filled with over a thousand plants, baskets, etc., a few days before Christmas had only a dozen or so left when the rush wais over. Cut flowers went well, but not so fast as plants, which had first call at nearly all stores. The gross amount of sales was away ahead of any other year. Low to medium prices prevailed on all plants. Extra large, high-priced stock was not called for; in fact, the storemen had seemed not to make any preparation for it. Plants at $3 to $5 each had a fine call. As to the stock, it was fine. Potted stock of all kind, azaleas, poin- settias, cherries, cyclamens, etc., were well grown. In fact, it was the best and largest Christmas stock ever han- dled in Cleveland stores. Beauties were above the average in quality and quantity. Roses, carna- tions, valley, etc., were equal to all de- mands, with quality fine. As usual, some growers tried to see how long red carnations would keep, but kept them just a day too long. There was less pickled stock this year than in other years. We are all g^radually getting educated one way or another. Double violets from the east were late in get- ting in. One wholesaler kept a taxi at the depot waiting to rush the violets as soon as they came in, but they did not come until Christmas morning, when it was too late. Thousands were refused and thrown out. There is only one reason for this rush of business at a time when all business is sluggish and below the average; that is, cooperative advertising. As men- tioned in these notes before, a fund of $300 had been guaranteed by the flo- rists to be used for newspaper adver- tising. The job was well done by all the newspapers and much extra adver- tising was gained in the news sections. This was the first time this kind of ad- vertising has been tried here, other than for Mothers ' day. It should stand repeating Valentine 's day, February 14. It is sure to repay well any amount of money subscribed to it. F. A. F. Franklin, Pa. — A new store was opened December 16 under the name of the Franklin Florists.

Our wrought iron post ousht to last a half century or more. How Our Greenhouse Posts Save You Money THEY SAVE YOU MONEY by making you spend less money. Putting it the other way about— you do actually spend more at the very start— but that's the end of it. Listen to this— 30 years ago we put up some houses for the Piersons at Scarboro. N. Y., and used wrought iron posts. Five years ago in replacing the base board they dug down around the post just to see how it was, and found it practically aa good as the day it was put in. But listen once more— these posts were wrouRlit iron— not steel. Wrought iron is bard to get these days. You may pay for wrought iron, but that's no surety that it's not steel. The firm you buy it of might buy it of a firm who "aald It ^ras." We don't take anybody's "say-so" for anything we buy— w^e test every- tlilnB:. It's the only safe and sure way. Of course, we would like to sell you materials for your entire house, but if you are not quite ready for that yet, then why don't you try our guaranteed wrought iron post and patented galvanized Ice Clearing Bave Plate with roof bar clasps attached? It would be sure enough a good start in the right direction. Tell us the length of your house and we will tell you exactly what the guaranteed wrought iron posts and galvanized eave plate and clasps will cost. Tof4>§]Btirnham|Q.

The central span is supported by a compression truss composed gf double angles. The columns are of double angles riveted together, and all of the different members are connected to each other by steel gusset plates.

He found his previously reliable night man fast asleep, and the temperature falling fast. In another half hour he Tvould have lost $30,000. Two nights later the night fireman of E. J.

These men are great big growers and require first-class work. They expressed themselves as well pleased— as satisfied— thai we use the best grade of English Manetti, and that we know how to do the work. We wel- ^ come inspection from any prospective purchaser of grafted roses. We have all the new kinds as well as the older roses. . . One of Our Customers Wrote us a few days ago that our assorted ten dollar boxes of roses was the best way for the storeman to buy that he had ever seen. ■ ' This man has been getting these boxes of us three times a week all winter, leaving the selection to us. Our packing girls select the kinds that are in best crop, and best selling condition, and always give a big ten dollars' worth. He went on to say in his letter that the roses always came in such fine condition — so fresh, and free from the usual results of too many handlings — that they were eo carefully packed, and that he liked the light wooden boxes we use. We are cutting large crops of splendid roses now, and wel- come an opportunity of showing new customers one of our assorted boxes, at five, ten or twenty dollars. Or if you wish — tell us the kind you like — the grades— and we will ship you good stock at five to ten cents. Our baby yellow rose, Geo.

ONE of Alpha's Catalogues sent to an undertaker was the means of selling $5000.00 worth of flowers in five years. Another undertaker wired us a chance order. We sent him our catalogue and sold him $700.00 worth of flow- ers and floral designs in 2>^ years. With Our Good Catalogue You Can Do What We Did and Are Doing and What Scores and Scores of Florists Did and Are Doing Now. You can build up a mail order trade that will yield you a vast sum every year, without additional overhead expense— all with our catalogue— a catalogue which was first created by us without thought of selling-but which has become first of its kind in the minds of FLORISTS WHO KNOW. Our catalogue was created by practical, experienced florists— it is in fact the precious essence of 30 years' experience in the florists' business. Send it out to undertakers, druggists, confec- tionery men, lodge secretaries, bankers and hustling men and women of all kinds. In this way you will get an army of men and women, pla'nning and scheming and pushing and boosting your business. Get this business builder. 11th and Walnut KANSAS CITY, MO.

Is this entirely due to natural and economic conditions, which necessarily make lilac forcing unprofitable in this country, or is it partly due to the growers* neglect to develop the lilac's possibilities? The growers in general, rather than the writer of this articl^, must answer that question. Q" H |N a general way the adage, "Whatever is worth do- ing at all is worth doing well," may be as truthful as it is aged and revered, but it may sometimes be dangerous doctrine, never- theless. Its wholesomefiess and prac- tical truthfulness depend on circum- stances. If a grower, or other person, is naturally and persistently careless and slovenly, there may be no better motto to offer him than the old say- ing just quoted; it should be presented to him at every opportunity, rubbed into him and administered to him in every possible way. On the other liand, if a grower, or other person, is •constitutionally so painstaking that his methods are too slow and expensive, it would be manifestly absurd to lec- ture him continually about the necessity of doing his work well; he needs ad- monition of an entirely different sort. Thus our teaching or preaching, in which we all indulge a lit- tle, should be modified sometimes — it really should — to fit our audience. Not to please our audience, you ^ill notice, but to fit it. Worth Doing Well. However, with reference ■to the forcing of lilac in America, there seems to be little or no danger of over- working the maxim that, if it is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well. In the case of many florists, it may not be wise to at- tempt the forcing of lilac, if only for the reason that it needs more heat than do most other crops, but he who does undertake the job should resolve to do it at least a little better than it is generally done, for it ig not generally done any too well. At many greenhouse establishments Which otherwise hold a high rank, the forcing of lilac is one of the little side issues — so far to one side, indeed, that it is liable to be neglected. Of course,, there are some ex- ceptionally good lilac forcers in America, but that is just the trouble — they are ex- ceptional. The majority of growers have not thought it worth while to make any serious endeavor to force this plant. For instance, once upon a time there was a certain grower who conducted his business on a large scale and usually with great success, but his manner of forcing lilac may be described as fol- lows, so far as it is capable of de- scription: A Hit-or-Miss Method. One of his brick-covered boilers pro- truded into ope of the greenhouses. When the lilac season arrived, a batch of potted lilacs was set on fop of said protruding boiler, and left there with a brief parting benediction or "Good luck to you! " When the man with the ^ Forced Plant of Marie Le|ra7e Lilac. hose reached that end of the green- house, the lilacs had an uncertain pros- pect of receiving, or not receiving, more or less of the refreshing moisture which was swished and splashed around pro- miscuously, as in a tempestuous, er- ratic spring rain storm. On account of their lofty and isolated position on the boiler top, the lilacs were not always reached even by the edge of the hose- dispensed showers. If the lilacs flour- ished under such treatment, the grower was able to supply the chance midwin- ter demand for lilac plants or blooms. If the treatment resulted in failure — why, the failure was half expected, any- way, and there was no severe shock of disappointment. Since there were no great hopes, there were no great re- grets. The whole process was a simple one and was not accompanied with much worry. In the esti- mation of this grower, it was a small matter at any rate; the resulting profit or loss was not seriously considered. A Matter of Money. It must not be imagined for an instant that there is any intention in this ar- ticle to disparage the American grower because the lilac as a greenhouse plant has much less com- mercial importance m this country than in Europe. The whole question is, as it must be, strictly a ' ' mat- ter o' money" — said to have been one pupil's way of spelling "matrimony." There are generally the • best of (practical reasons for the fact that certain flowers are popular, both in the trade and out of it, while other flowers, even though as meritorious as the lilac, receive small con- sideration. The average American grower is shrewd enough so that he does not miss many opportunities for profit. If in the forc- ing of lilac, under Ameri- can conditions, there are golden opportunities, or silver ones, that have not yet been discovered, the American grower is cer- tain to discover them sooner or later. Though 8 The Florists^ Review Jandabx 7, 1015. American growers, as a class, could undoubtedly increase the popularity of the lilac by giving greater at- tention to the forcing of it, they might not find it remunerative to do 80. They have reasons ror believing, at least, that they are pushing the flowers which bring them the best re- turns. But the fact remains that if a grower undertakes to force lilac at all, he should do the work well, at least fairly well, for careful, systematic methods are economical and profitable, while slipshod methods are wasteful. As Some Experts Do It. The following suggestions on lilac forcing embody, in the main, the ideas advocated by B. B. C. Felix, of Felix & Dykhuis, Boskoop, Holland. But, as the opinions of otlier experts are also introduced to some extent, and blended with the views of the Holland grower, he might not wish to be held responsi- ble for the entire method of forcing as here outlined. Most of the lilacs used in America for forcing are imported and they should be pot-grown plants, so pruned as to be well branched and of compact habit. Grafted plants are nearly al- ways preferred, as they are much more easily and quickly prepared for forc- ing than is the own-root stock. Before a lilac can be forced into bloom, it must have a period of rest. The plants, when grown in pots, go into a dormant state about the latter part of October. It is essential at this time to keep the plants somewhat dry, so that the wood may ripen early and thoroughly. When the foliage has dropped off, the plants are stored where they are sheltered from severe frost. A slight frost will be beneficial, as will be explained farther on. When the lilac plant goes into a dor- mant state in October, nature has not yet fulfilled its task. Although the su- perficial observer sees nothing uncom- mon on the buds, inside of them there go on a number of chemical processes that make them ready for the coming spring. Not before the buds are fully prepared can a full-sized flower be pro- duced. Before the plants are forced into flower, therefore, it is necessary that the period of rest be suflSciently advanced. That is why a plant forced m January or February forces more easily and gives better results than when forced in December. Shortening the Best Period. To shorten this period of rest, freez- ing, hot water treatment or etherizing is applied with good results. Plants that have been exposed to frost have their period of rest shortened. For this reason it is advisable to heel the plants in outside so they are exposed to frost. Hot water treatment is best applied in a basin of water at a temperature of 8k> to 9a degrees. Only the buds and bhoots need to be treated; the root balls are left out. This treatment takes about six to ten hours. If the tem- perature of the water is lower, say at 70 to 80 degrees, ten to twelve hours will be necessary. Plants that have been exposed to frost need shorter treat- ment. Etherizing is done in an air- tight box in which ether is placed and vaporized. This treatment takes about twenty-four hours. ' Lilacs can be had in bloom at Christ- mas, but the success with them is not sure when they are not previously ex- posed in one of the three ways to shorten the rest period. It is therefore advisable not to bring more plants in- side than is necessary, for the results are uncertain. The later the plants, are brought inside, the better. They force more easily and make better flowers and trusses. Temperature and Moisture. It is well to allow about five weeks for the earliest forcing. A high tem- perature is necessary, beginning at 60 degrees for the first few days and in- creasing to 75 or 80 degrees. Care must be taken to spray abun- dantly three or four times a day, through the branches and buds, and also to have the root balls in the pots suf- ficiently wet. On account of this spray- ing, the surface of the soil will look rather wet, but this is deceitful, for the lower parts of the roots are sometimes too dry. On the other hand, the roots should not be too wet. The plants do not consume much water in the first eight days and if too wet, the roots will rot. Here it is where the forcer should use his own judgment. The buds have to be constantly kept moist. With- in ten to twelve days the buds break open and are about of a finger length. This is the time to lessen the heat until the trusses have attained their full size, which takes about two and one-half weeks. Also the spraying should me- thodically be lessened. When the flow- ern begin to expand, a thin spray once or twice a day will be sufficient. If the flowers are open the spraying should be stopped. Spraying on the open trusses is ruinous to the blooms. Later in the Season. Of course the aforementioned tem- peratures can be reduced with advan- tage to the flowers if there is no rea- son for hurry. And late in the winter, as the -natural flowering season of the lilac draws nearer, the plants can be easily forced into bloom in a compara- tively low temperature. In March and April thpy can be lorced in any ordi- nary house where the night tempera- ture is about 60 degrees. The bright- hued varieties are often forced in dark- ened rooms, or .in temporary forcing boxes or frames, in order to blanch the colors. Show plants in pots, however, should be grown in full light, in order to preserve good foliage. Marie Legraye, single white, is the easiest to force, and consequently the earliest. After this variety come Charles X, single lavender; Souvenir de Louis Spath, single purple; Mme. Le- moine, double white, and President Grevy, double lavender. These are the varieties that give best satisfaction, according to Mr. Felix. Some growers recommend Mme. Casimir Perier, dou- ble white, as one of the best of the dou- bles for early forcing. It is generally .agreed, however, that there is no va- riety that excels Marie Legraye. FROM FOREIGN EA.NDS Botterdam, Holland. — Although it might be expected that in time of war the sale of flowers, usually considered a luxury, would suffer, prices obtained here are satisfactory. The increase in the exportation of bulbs this year is not so fine a showing as it seems, for sales were made under disadvantageous circumstances and collections are caus- ing a little uneasiness. Hamburg, Germany. — The American shipments of valley pips have nearly all been dispatched, mostly via Danish ports but a few via Rotterdam. There are, however, great quantities for which there is no immediate market and which are being frozen in cold stores to await developments. The United States will not for the present be asked to absorb more than the usual quan- tities. London, England. — There is a per- sistent but unverified rumor of the loss of a ship carrying large quanti- ties of seeds from the south of France to England. Rumor has it that the cargo contains 2,000 tons of seeds, for a number of consignees. As one com- mentator says: "It is no trifling mat- ter, under present circumstances, to lose about 2,000 tons of seeds on which re- liance had been placed for the coming season's trade. Granted the loss is mitigated by the fact that the cargo was insured, still you can't plant the insurance money and harvest onions or beans. " Oost-Duinkerke, Belgium. — Em. Draps- Boudry, whose establishment is now in the center of activities of the military forces, has fled to England. Contich, Belgium. — In the bombard- ment of Antwerp the concussion caused by the bursting bombs broke practically all the glass in the eighteen green- houses of Frantz de Laet, widely known for his collection of cacti. The wood- work of the houses is for the most part intact. The Germans looted the whole of the contents of the houses, so that nothing but the bare walls remain. Ghent, Belgium.— On the whole, it may be considered that this important horticultural district has suffered little as compared with some other parts of Belgium, but grave fears are held for the future. It is apparent to even the least skilled observer that should the German line be dislodged, as all Bel- gium feels it must eventually be, the right wing will swing back through Bruges and Ghent, making its stand behind the Scheldt, which will bring the fighting directly into the plant- growing district, which now is only a few miles behind the line from West- ende to Roulers. The growera^.fear that their troubles are not all in the past by any means. They are booking any orders offered, hoping from the bottom of their hearts they will be able to make shipment, favored by the for- tunes of war, when the time comes. Jamuabx 7, 1916. The Florists^ Review ^ GOINC* AFTER THE PUBLIC. A New Year's day conference at De- troit was held, by Albert Pochelon, secretary of the Florists' Telegraph De- livery, and L. W. C. Tuthill, of New York, well known as a specialist in horticultural advertising. The subject under discussion was a campaign that will bring the sending of flowers by wire to the attention of the public. Thus far the special effort has been to develop the facilities for the prompt delivery of flowers at distant points, and so successful has this effort been that any florist may now feel safe in promising safe and speedy execution of an order almost anywhere in America. With this object attained, it has been apparent that the time has arrived for acquainting the public with the facili- ties that have been provided. Up to now the public has heard nothing of the telegraph delivery of flowers ex- cept as individual florists have adver- tised the service, but it is hoped to scon institute a campaign that will reach flower buyers everywhere. Mr. Tuthill submitted a plan to Mr. Pochelon, Since a national campaign of any im- portance will call for the employment of quite a sum, it is probable that, in- stead of waiting for F. T. D. dues to accumulate, the funds will be obtained by subscription, many of those in the trade not F. T. D. members standing ready to contribute. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. Poughkeepsie, N. T. — A petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Gott- lieb F. Knauss, grower of violets at Hyde Park, N. TjT, by these creditors: Fallkill National Bank, $13,535; Clara F. Lent, $5,000, and Minnie Frank, $C,000, all of Poughkeepsie. The claims are largely as endorser of notes of the Bridgeport Construction Co., state road contractor, which went into bankruptcy November 19. It was alleged that he is insolvent and has transferred all his real estate. He transferred eleven and one-half acres of land in Poughkeepsie to Wm. B, Knauss, a brother, for $2,500, and seventy-four acres in Hyde Park to Christian F. Behret for $4,000, HOOSIEB FLOBISTS TO MEET, The annual meeting of the State Flo- rists ' Association of Indiana will be held at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, January 12, The business session will commence promptly at 1:30 p, m., fol- lowed'Tjy a supper in the evening, which wilKcost each member $1.25 per plate. The secretary has written the grow- ers and disseminators of novelties to send sample blooms for this exhibition and he requests that the members bring along something in the way of a plant or cut flower to add to the exhibition. In order to create more interest in the annual meeting, the society appro- priated $.50 for the purchase of two silver trophies to be competed for from year to year, A committee consisting of A, F.

PINCHING BACK ANTIRRHINUMS, Would it be unwise or in any way injurious to pinch back seedling snap- dragons the second time while they are in the small pots before benching, provided they are rather tall and have only two or three branches? W, G, K. If you pinch the snapdragons while the shoots are young and soft, they will break weakly. However, if you per- mit the shoots to run up a few flowers en each, and then cut back, the plants may have a somewhat stumpy appear- ance for a short time, but will send up much stronger shoots. C. W. NITRATE OF SODA. In what proportion should nitrate of soda be used in watering plants? How often should it be used? H, A. B. Use at the rate of one ounce to a 12- quart can of water, or one pound to a Manager 50-gallon barrel. In midwinter, if used at all, it must be with great care. It is a forcing fertilizer, and if used fre- quently will soon soften the plants so that they are of little value. It is of use in toning up sickly plants. One or, at most, two doses twelve to fourteen days apart are usually suflficient. Then use some fertilizer containing less nitro- gen. For bench crops do not use it if the soil is dry; water with clear water first, C, W. PARTITIONS IN HOUSES. My houses run north and south and are seven feet to the eaves. The houses are connected and most of them arc planted with carnations; so the temperature is the same all through the range, I want to plant the house at the west with roses and the house east .of it with miscellaneous stock that requires a different temperature from that of the carnations. Could I put glass partitions between these houses, or would Ithe heat from one house penetrate ihe glass into the other? I do not like to put partitions oi' lumber between the houses, on account of the direction in which the houses stand. The ground slopes to the east and I think the wood partition would cast too much shade on the carnations. E. C, Use boards next to the ground, to the level of the beds or benches, and let the rest be glass, A tight partition wUl not permit any heat to escape. C. W. 10 The Florists^ Review Jamuaby 7, 1916. I temperature of about 60 degrees at night? F. L. SEASONABLE SUOOESTIONS. Oncidiums. Oncidium Rogersii is now nearly over and the plants should have a resting period of some weeks before being over- hauled. This is unquestionably the most valuable oncidium for florists. Its long-branched spikes of igolden yellow flowers are useful for decorations in the fall and early winter. O. tigrinum, with its lusty branched spikes of yel- low flowers, heavily spotted, is now in season, following Rogersii nicely. It is our best Christmas oncidium and its flowers have the advantage of being sweet-scented. O. ornithorhynchum, with its drooping spikes of rosy lilac flowers, is still in good shape. This makes a charming basket plant and the flowers are sweet-scented. All these oncidiums do better if grown without sphagnum. Many of the small shell snails lurk in the moss and they soon raise havoc with the flower spikes, eat- ing them off almost before they can be seen. Odontoglossums. Plants of Odontoglossum Crispum, Pescatorei and Hallii are now sending up a nice crop of spikes. They should be protected from attacks of snails by little bands of cotton-wool. These odontoglots should now have a house where they can get full sunshine and a temperature of 52 to 55 degrees at night, rather than a cool, sunless northern exposure, such as is often given them. In the lighter, warmer house the foliage soon takes on a rich bronzed hue, and the plants become tougher and will stand the hot summers much better than when they are win- tered in a cold, dark house. O. grande, now done flowering, should have a rest- ing period in a night temperature of 50 degrees. The free-flowering, pure white, sweet-scented Guatemalan spe- cies, O. pulchellum majus, is showing its spikes. This odontoglot does well at the cool end of the cattleya house and is one of the most easily grown and free-flowering of the family. Fhal^enopsis. '' Where several varieties of phalffinop- sis are grown., in a special house, pha- Isenopsis flowers are seldom lacking. P. amabilis is now done with its Christmas crop. Many spikes com- ing along on Schilleriana, Rimestadiana and grandiflora give indications of a beautiful show for a few weeks. Pha- laenopsis always does best if hung from the roof, doing particularly well in nar- row but deep baskets containing fern fiber and sphagnum over plenty of crocks. They must have a hot, moist atmosphere and drafts must be avoided at all hazards. Sponge the leaves over occasionally with tepid water, as a pro- tection against thrips and red spider. TREATMENT FOB CATTLEYAS. I have a small collection of orchids, including C. Trianae, C. labiata, C. Mos- siae, C. Gaskelliana and C. Mendellii. I should like to know when each variety should be breaking growth and what the treatment and temperature for each variety should be. After the plants have flowered, is it proper to dry them off and put them in a cooler house, or should they be kept watered and in a All the cattleyas named will do well in the same house. A night tempera- ture of 55 degrees in midwinter will suffice and on severe mornings 5 degrees lower will do no harm. It is a great mistake to maintain a high tempera- ture by overheating the pipes. Noth- ing can be more ruinous to plants. C. labiata finishes flowering early in De- cember, C. TriansB about the end of March, C. Mossise in May, C. Mendellii in June and C. Gaskelliana ia August. After flowering, keep the plants a lit- tle drier at the root for a few weeks, until the new bulbs start to push, when any repotting can be done. Water should De applied somewhat sparingly until the roots become active, when a liberal supply is necessary. It is a mistake to dry '.he plants off as you would dendrobiums. It was at one time thought necessary to dry them severely, but such treatment is more harmful than helpful. There is no need to move the plants to cooler quarters while rest- ing. All that is necessary is to reduce the water supply somewhat. Give full sunlight in midwfiter and air the plants on every possible occasion, bojh night and day. Except when cold winds prevail, or the temperature is abnor- mally low, some ventilation should be afforded, either from the ridge or from the sides below the benches. W. N. C. TWENTY-FIVE FEE CENT SFLIT. We are mailing to you today some samples of our carnations, which have been splitting badly during the last week. Fully twenty-five per cent of the calyxes arc split. -The benches have all been wet to the bottom; not too wet, however. The temperature has been held at 50 to 54 degrees at night and 10 to 15 degrees higher during the day. We used a good feed of liquid manure about one month ago, and re- cently we put a little slaked lime on the soil to keep down the moss. Dur- ing the day, when th'e ventilators are open, there is some draft over the plants, but this has been the case right along. The temperature outside for the last week has been from 15 to 25 de- grees below zero at night, causing a heavy coating of frost on the glass inside; could this frost and the heat from below cause them to split? If not, to what can you attribute the trouble? . S. G. C. might have contributed somewhat to- ward a natural tendency on the part of Beacon and the Enchantress varieties to split at this time of the year. An- other frequent cause of splitting is the weather. If you have a spell of cloudy weather and it is followed by a bright spell, there is likely to be some split- ting, and the more strongly the plants are growing at the time, the more splitting there is likely to be. This latter condition is unavoidable on the part of the grower, and can be counter- acted only partly by holding the tem- perature low on the first day or two of the bright spell. Plants that are given moderate culture during the short days of winter are not so liable to g^ve trouble of this kind as those that are crowded unduly. A. F. J. B. There are a number of conditions that may cause splitting. Some of these conditions we can control, while others we can not. Your temperature seems to have been fairly good; so that eliminates one of the most fre- quent causes of splitting. That "good feed" you gave about a month ago A BAD BENCH. Under separate cover I am sending some White Enchantress and Enchant- ress carnation buds, also some shoots from the same plants, and shall be pleased if you will tell me what causes them to wilt and dry up. Just half the bed is affected. White Perfection, En- chantress and Lawson in the same houses are not affected. I have had this trouble with this one bed for the lust two years. The plants were healthy and were in good condition when brought in from the field. The first year I had Victory planted in the bed and it was affected in the same Jamuaby 7, 1015. The Florists^ Review 11 ■way. Victory cuttings taken from those plants, grown in the field and benched in the adjoining house, did not show any signs of the disease, if it is a disease. They are all planted in raised beds. A 2-inch natural gas main runs di- agonally across this house and there is about four feet at the east wall that is uncovered, but if this is the cause of it, it would affect the whole house, I think. There are no signs of any leaks and there is no smell of gas at any time. F, P. M. The shoots submitted seem to be badly affected with bacteria. Those light spots you see in the leaves are the affected parts. The dry tips are caused by the bacteria, spots reaching clear across the leaf, shutting off the nourishment and causing the end of the leaf to dry up. I cannot say why that particular bed should be affected more than the rest of the house, year after year, un- less it is located disadvantageously in the house. If the plants do not receive .the proper amount of sunlight, they would be more affected than they would under more favorable condi- tions. TliB gas main you speak of is not likely to be connected with the 'case in any way. Not only would the gas affect the whole house, but it af - feets the plants differently. The buds had been frozen, obliterating any signs of other diseases they might have shown when fresh. I would suggest that you do not pro- pagate from these plants. Take cut- tings only from your healthy stock and your chances for having good stock next season will be better. A. F. J. B. UNSUITABLE SOIL. We have been in business in this part of Long Island for the last three years and our land was formerly cultivated by a farmer, who grew pretty good vegetables, but we are unable to make our plants grow satisfactorily. We let the ground rest for a year; then we put horse manure on it and plowed the manure in. We also sowed a green crop and plowed it under; yet nothing will grow. We are trying to grow carnations and all kinds of summer flowers. After a rain storm the ground becomes absolutely red on top. What can we do to remedy this, so that we shall be able to grow good plants and flowers? There seems to be too much iron in the soil. I have two concrete tanks, over which I have built a propagating house. The mosquitoes are breeding terribly in these tanks, although we have a cypress floor. The help can scarcely stand in the house on account . of these pests. Can you advise us what to do to get rid of them? Would kerosene or crude oil, spread on the top of the \5[ater, injure the plants? We use the water from these tanks to water the carna- tions in the houses. C. T. I would advise you to submit a sam- ple of your soil to one of the several agricultural experiment stations in your section of the country. They will analyze it and advise you how to im- prove it. I am not positive that cover- ing the water in your concrete tanks with oil would seriously affect your carnation plants, but I would hesitate to do it, if I were situated as you are. Part^of^Chriftmas Caraation Crop of Fifth Avenue Floral Co.> G>Iumbuf, O. I would prefer to use cyanide to de- stroy the mosquitoes. This, of course, would relieve the situation only tem- porarily, but if it became necessary to repeat the dose too often, I would abandon the tanks altogether and use well wa^er. A. F. J. B. A CHRISTMAS CAANATION CROP. Here is a question for the big carna- tion growers: How manj^ blooms con- stitutes a good Christmas Crop from 25,- 000 plants? It is asked by the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., of Columbus, O. This concern sends a photograph, repro- duced herewith, which shows the condi- tion of the plants in one of its carna- tion houses December 16. The week before Christmas 8,400 blooms were cut, and Christmas week 14,300 more, making a total for the two weeks of 22,700 blooms from the 25,000 plants. This, the company says, is the high- water mark at its range. Does it, asks the writer, compare favorably with the cuts of the big growers? CARNATION REGISTERED The following carnation has be^ registered by Littlefield & Wyman, North Abington, Mass. Mils Theo. — Wlnsor x Winona; rose pink; three Inches; well built up; calyx nearly perfect, sel- dom splitting; stem strong, holding nower at all times; robust grower. Flymouth, Mass. — Chas. E. Stevens lias completed another greenhouse at his range on Stoddard street. The addi- tional space is much needed to take care of his increasing business. Jamaica Plain, Mass. — The green- houses on the estate of Quincy A. Shaw, on Perkins street, were destroyed by fire on the night of December 26, at a loss of $3,500. Firemen from Boston and Brookline were summoned, but could not get at the fire easily enough to extinguish it. Hanover, Mass. — Since the addition of a house 61x117 feet last summer, the range of J. W. Beal comprises 25,000 feet of glass. The stores at Rockland and Bridgewater, in charge of Mrs. Warren Johnson and Charles Cooper, respectively, and the agency at Brock- ton, in charge of Mr. Dwyer, only take about "one-half the stock grown. The rest goes to the Boston market. East Bridgewater, Mass. — J. K. Alexander during the autumn harvested twenty-five acres of dahlia roots. Marblehead,- Mass. — William H. Sy- monds has completed a small green- house on the land adjoining his house, on Mount Vernon street. If this proves a profitable venture, Mr. Symonds has plenty of land to allow enlargement. Bridgeport, Conn. — Andrew Swatt, driving the delivery automobile of Jas. Horan & Sons, collided with the chem- ical engine of the local fire department Christmas morning when the latter was on its way to a fire. The fire depart- ment places the blame on the driver of the florists' car and will demand $700 to pay for the repairs. Sjtephen D. Horan asserts that the driver' fff the engine is responsible, because he did not sound the siren upon approaching the street crossing, and will protest the fire commissioner's decision. 12 The Florists^ Review JANCABY 7, 1915.

If they are at this stage and are given 60 degre& at night right along, they will be on time, if, however, they are just peeping through the soil or are not showing at all, they are a little back- ward and must have a brisk heat right along. Giganteums must have heat from start to finish to come through successfully, and remember that while it may seem a long cry to Easter, it is necessary to have the buds well in sight by February 20 in order that they may be in season. In the case of Formosa lilies, WTiich are much taller growers than giganteum or multiflorum, if the plants are now ten to twelve inches high they can come along in an average night temperature of 50 degrees and be all right. These are variable in height. Some, will grow five feet high, others only half that height. Some will carry a dozen buds to a stem; others, seemingly of almost equal strength, a solitary flower. This lily, owing to its height, does not make an ideal pot plant, but for cutting it is unexcelled and it is remarkably free from disease. Poinsettia Stock. , Poinsettias are unsalable after Christmas and any unsold plants might just as well be stored away for stock. Lay the pots and pans on their sides under a bench free from drip, or store them in any frost-proof shed. When the soil becomes quite dry and their leaves have fallen, shake the plants out and pack them closely in flats. They will carry perfectly in this way. Oardenlas. Great care is now necessary with gardenias. When the Weather' is ex- tremely cold, little ventilation possi- ble and strong fire heat necessary to keep up the temperature, any excess of water at the roots will soon start the yellows. Low night temperatures and a surplus of atmospheric humidity, added to careless watering, will soon cause the plants to lose their dark, healthy coler. Keep the night tem- perature aa near 65 degrees as possi- ble. On severe mornings it can drop to 60 degrees. Syringing should be done only on clear days, and early in the day, so that the foliage will be dry before nightfall. If a bright morning should be followed by a dark afternoon, go over the plants with a stick and give them a shake to remove some of the surplus moisture. It is better not to attempt any feeding at this season, or buds are sure to drop. Schizanthus. For late spring flowering, now is a suitable time to make a sowing of schizanthus. S. Wisetonensis or some of the dwarf large-flowered hybrids are the best for pot culture. ;Sow the seed in pans, then prick oft fnto flats and later pot off singly. It has not been possible yet to fix S. Wisetonensis and procure any particular color. Much of its feharm, however, lies in its sportive- ness. None of the colors produced are bad, but of course it would be some- thing of an advantage if we could pur- chase seed which would give us white, pink or lavender-colored flowers. Schi- zanthus should be grown cool all the time; 42 to 45 degrees at night is ample j'^t 50 degrees it becomes more or less drawn. Mignonette. As the cold becomes the greatest the quality of the mignonette spikes seems to improve. Like violets, this popular flower is at its best in a low tempera- ture; 40 degrees at night is sufficient. In order to secure the finest spikes, the number to a plant should be limited and other growths removed. However, only a few growers usually want those fancy stalks; the average country flo- rist can use spikes of moderate quality to far better advantage. Where plants are flowering they will be improved by a top-dressing of old cow manure, well broken up. Canterbury Bells. Start the Canterbury bells now in a cool house. A temperature of 45 de- grees will do for a start and it is not well to give them over 50 degrees at night at any time. In watering be careful not to pour directly onto the leaves, or there is danger of their rot- ting, particularly where the crowns are extra large. Canterbury bells make handsome pot plants. They can hardly be classed as Easter plants, for, unless Easter comes late, they cannot be satis- factorily flowered. For Memorial day they are splendid, not only as pot plants but for cutting. For this date, the plants need not be started for some time yet. Propagating Begonias. The earliest batch of begonia leaf cuttings are now well rooted. Little plants are appearing and many will soon be fit for^potting. As Christmas is t^e principal season for all flower^ ing Degonias, the stock now is prob- ably pretty w«^ depleted and if an ample stock of^MtVes is not yet in the sand, get them aBKthout delay. Gloire de Lorraine is not yet out of date. It is true that it will not realize the same price as Glory of Cincinnati at Christ- mas, but for earlier blooming it takes the lead. The new Melior will niso be considerably in evidence another year. Everyone who has tried it has words of praise for it. ODEN LETTEKi^^^ DEAD^ftd* WITH EDITOR'S DISCLAIMER. I would be pleased if you would pub- lish the following, under the heading of "A Message to My Fellow Crafts- men," or any heading you may regard as appropriate, and attach my signa- ture: "Cheer up, the war is over! Before spring peace will reign throughout Eu- rope. There is not a statesman, banker ."•r merchant prince who is not thor- oughly convinced by this time that the Allies will not succeed in forcing the Germans back from the positions that they hold, and therefore useless to con- tinue the struggle. It is only natural that the Allies should be reluctant to admit this, but good sense will prevail, and in due time, say within six or eight weeks, the general desire for the cessa- tion of hostilities will become manifest.

B. about the protection of the pipes of his expansion tank from frost. While The Keview's answer to B. A. B. 's question was correct, it may be of interest to him, and possibly to others, to know about my arrangement. My tank has a capacity of 3,000 gal- lons. It is on a steel tower thirty feet high and about forty feet from the boiler. The main supply pipe is a 1^- ir.ch pipe running below the frost line to the boiler house and from there to the greenhouse, A 1-inch pipe is run from the top of the boiler to a high point and there vented; then it is run down into the trench alongside the main supply pipe and up to the tank in a double boxing, containing two 2-inch dead-air spaces, and connected to the tank bottom just the same as the main supply pipe. A ^-inch pipe, with a valve, connects the main supply pipe, which runs closely alongside the boiler, professors or school boys at the head^ with the return pipe near the boiler; Jancary 7, 1915. The Florists^ Review 13 this forms a heating coil and I find that f if the valves are just half ooen, there is circulation enough. In mils weather I keep the %-inch valve closed and only the 1-inch valve open for tke expansion. I have had this tank only two years, but I have not yet noticed that more firing is required, even in our coldest Ohio weather, than was needed before. Carl Baer. MORE ABOUT CONCRETE BENCHES I was much interested in the article' in The Review for December 24 on con- crete bench construfttion. I have had considerable experience with this kind of bench, for there are only two short wooden benches in my whole range of 15,000 to 20,000 feet^f glass, the rest being concrete. I built these myself, throwing out the wooden ones as fast as they rotted, and now, instead of the old-style, short- lived bench, I have something that will last for all time. My benches are all of the monolithic style. The side benches have two rows of posts underneath, but the 5-foot ones have three rows. I make the legs in tar-paper molds and use the same paper several times. The legs are about 'five inches in diameter and are placed four feet apart. Posts in the two outside rows stand opposite one another, those in the center row alternating with them. I make concrete as follows: Two parts of sharp sand, two parts of gravel and one part of cement. For reenforc- ing, I use poultry netting for the top and sides and any old wire for the legs. The }eg reenforcement runs into the bench top, so that when the leg is set it is impossible to move or even jar the .bench. For drainage, I punch holes with a rotating motion when the concrete has set for about a half-hour. I leave the leg molds on for thirty-six hours. If they are left on longer, the paper will stick. As to cost, I have figured carefully, and find that without considering the time it takes to build it, a concrete be'lush costs the same as a wooden one when lumber is $25 per thousand feet. I pay $1.75 per cubic yard for sand and gravel and $1.50 per barrel for cement. In the last benches I built for carna- tions, I put galvanized pipe upright in the posts to hold the supports for wires, and the idea is a fine one. There are no cleats anywhere on the sides, and no braces on the ends. You may pull as hard as you want to and noth- ing will give way. As to the quality of stock that can be grown on concrete benches, anyone having " doubts is invited to come and be shown. For a propagating bench the concrete one has no equal. Stone is a much better conductor of heat than wood, so that only half the number of pipes are required. Some day florists will be making their own gutters, and they will be the lasting kind — concrete. I have been giving this idea a great deal of thought, and believe it is possible and practi- cable. For a backbone, I would employ a reenforcement of angle iron, such as is used in windmill towers. Two rows of this will be cross-tied and further reenforced by long fence wire. Then I would put my mold on top of the posts and pour in the concrete, and the re- sult would be a tight, one-piece gutter that would defy time and the elements. How to fasten the sashbars on, might be a puzzle at first, but I can see a way out of that. J. L. Johnson. FAVORS CONCRETE BENCHES. In The Review for December 24 M. B. S. asks for advice on concrete benches. I have benches of this kind and am much pleased wit^ them. At first I was kept guessing, just as M. B. S. is, but finally I thought I would fit one houses 28x125 with concrete benches. Now I find I like them bet- ter than those of wood, because they give more uniform drainage. The growers who do not have con- crete benches are always criticizing them, perhaps because they cannot af- ford them or do not like the job of making them. Some said to me, "Those benches are tqo cold to grow carnations in;" so I two Ij^ one of them over to my house a few weeks ago and said, "Feel those benches and see if you don 't freeze your hand. ' ' He felt the benches and was convinced that concrete benches are warmer than wood, because when concrete gets warm it stays warm, just as a brick does. Then too, wood swells and closes the space between the boards of a wooden bench; concrete stays uniform. As to the strength of these benches, I can say that if they are made right they will*not break or cause trouble in the least. They can be given more rough usage than a wooden bench. Three men, each weighing 175 pounds, can stand on one of our slabs, which are three feet long, eight inches wide and one inch thick iii "the center, with a 2-inch rim amound the outside. Now, that is more than you can put on a piece of cypress of equal length. The cost of our benches was small, as we can get all the gravel we want two feet below the surface of the ground. We used 200 sacks of cement and mixed the concrete 3 to 1 through- out the job. The cement cost us $70 and the reenforcing $14; so you see wo got off as cheaply as with wood. There are four benches 5x122 feet. The benches are sectional, with boards or slabs running lengthwise, just as in a wooden bench. Fred J. Louck. Maiidy About IPfeode Pueblo, Colo. — Waldemar Fleischer,* son of G. Fleischer, is in the employ of the C. C. PoUworth Co., at Milwaukee, Wis., where he has been since the spring of 1913. , Lancaster, Pa.— William R. Grove, of Manheira, was married to Miss Jane K. Rodgers at the parsd;iage of the Grace Lutheran church December 26. They will reside at 29 East Lemon street. Bluefield, W. Va.— W, G. Alexander, son of the late J. W, Alexander, of Charleston, who was for years his father's assistant, married Miss Mae Byles, of Buffalo, November 17, and has opened a fine flower store in the old Western Lnion stand. He has done well to date. Erie, Pa. — Mr. and Mrs. Frederic James Barlow announce the marriage of their sister, Miss Margaret Marie Bemus, to Frederick Lautenschlager, Saturday,. August 29, 1914. Mr. Lautenschlager is well known in the trade as the rep- resentative of Kroeschell Bros. Co. They will make their home in Chicago. Savannah, Qa.— John Wolf has more than the usual reason to celebrate New Year's: it is the anniversary of his starting in business and of his marriage. January 1, 1915, he had spent just twenty years as a florist here and it was the fourteenth anniversary of the wedding that brought him an efficient helpmate. . Anderson, Ind. — J. S. Stuart and J. A. E. Haugh, for many years partners in everything, have been sharing ill- nesses equally. Mr. Stuart was con- fined to his home for a fortnight be- fore Christmas, after which it was Mr. Haugh 's turn.' Fort Dodge, la. — The front cover of the December number of the Parcel Post and Store News, a local advertis- ing monthly, bore a picture of the pop- ular movie actress, Lillian Walker, among the chrysanthemums in the greenhouse of R. P. Atwell. Lewlston, HI. — Miss Lulu Martha Davidson has received many expres- sions of sympathy in the death of her father, who passed away January 4. He was 80 years of age and died of the infirmities resulting from his long and active life. Never a florist, he was, nevertheless, well known to the patrons of his daughter's successful flower store, in operation here some five years. Tilton, DL — H. A. Dubois, in digging to locate a leak in a steam pipe below the ground, Saturday morning, Decem- ber 19, had one of his feet scalded when the earth under it gave way, so that he stepped into a pool of boiling water. Medical attention failed to al- leviate altogether the intense pain, but it is believed Mr. Dubois will be able to be around in a few weeks as well as ever. 14 The Florists^ Review JAMDABY 7, 1916. KANSAS CITY. Tlie Market. The florists opthis city expect to do a larger business in 1915 than in any previous year, as this is a central shipping market for horses, mules, beef, agricultural and various manufacturing products. Since the start of the con- ^iiict in Europe, business has been all ^that was expected, although not up to the standard of last year. Business has steadily increased since the beginning of the war and it is expected that the war will help business from, now on. New Year 's business was good and up to expectations. Most of the florists .- who have palms rented all they had and some could have rented more. A great many baskets, boxes and center- pieces were made up foi New Year celebrations. The cut flower supply was well cleaned up, but fancy prices were out of the question. Various Notes. The first 1915 baby born in Kansas City is McClurg L. Kice, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Kice. Mr. Kice is an employee of the Rosery. Arthur Newell had the decoration for a big affair at the Baltimore hotel New Year's eve. He used all the palms, ferns and other decorative stock he could get hold of. Samuel Murray reports business for New Year's as good. Fancy baskets and boxes were more in demand than a year ago and table decorations were numerous. The W. Li. Rock Flower Co. had some large decorations last week, with more to follow this week. Mr. Rock is well pleased with the way the new year has started. -^x. .. T. J. Noll is well satisfied with the business done in the last part of 1914. H. Kusik & Co. were busy last week taking inventory. The clean-up on holi- day specialties "is said to have been the best since the firm went into the supply nil HI TlO^fl Jkfrs. T. A. Mosely, across the state line, reports a good business for New Year's and is well satisfied. The Alpha Floral Co. was exception- ally busy last week with funeral work and decorations. Mr. Elberfield is well Dleased with business done in 1914. *^ W. J. B. BUFFALO. The Market. There was an abundance of all kinds of cut flowers for the holiday season. Prices were firm and high. There was some poor stock, however, such as in- ferior Beauties, Mock roses and orchids, which were rejected by the retail deal- ers. Roses in all varieties were excel- lent. Carnations were of first quality. Valley, sweet peas, orchids, gardenias and violets were plentiful. All kinds of flowering plants were available. Various Notes. J. B. Wiese did a big business dur- ing the holidays. The Dale Estate, of Brampton, is sending some excellent orchids and val- ley to this market. J, Brookins has some excellent or- chids and sweet peas. These found a ready sale during the holidays. - yf. J. Palmer & Son had the decora- tion for the debutante reception of the Misses Large, of North Tonawanda, which was a big affair, Henry Kraus, for S. A. Anderson, made a trip to Albany, for a decora- tion at the Capitol January 1. The biggest and most elaborate deco- ration Buffalo has seen in many years was that of the Knox ball at the Twen- tieth Century Club, December 28. Not only the ballroom but the entire club house was decorated and there were numerous gift bouquets, from French liouquets to huge bunches of orchids and roses. S. A. Anderson did the dec- orations, with the aid of Charles Fel- ton, designer, and the able assistance of •Jos. Streit and k score of others. George Kramer did the Japanese garde^n, through wliich access was had to the supper room. E. C. A. WASHINGTON. given by Mrs. Clarence Moore, The work, doiie by J. H. Small & Sons, has been the subject of much favorable comment on the part of not only the guests but those of the trade who viewed the decorations. Among the visitors in Washington during the week were I. Rosnosky and Sidney Bayersdorfer, both of Philadel- phia. C. L, L. CINCINNATI. The Market. The Market. The funeral business of the last week has been quite heavy and proved ac- ceptable in view of the fact that a large source of income to the stores heretofore occurring from large New Year 's decorations was lost to them this year. The supply of flowers was larger than has ever before been experienced at this time of the year and it is said that there were enough to take care of another holiday rush. This has caused a marked drop in prices. Particularly is this true of carnations, which can be had as low as $2 per hundred. Ru- brum lilies are good, but are offered with few takers. Jonquils have made their appearance. The/'Sloiiriy weather of the last few days/has seriously af- fected the color of pink roses. Various Notes. The event of the week was the ball The receipts in the market are far . heavier than present needs. The de- mand is active but is insufficient to take up the entire receipts, or any more than a substantial part of them. A lot of stock that is held at other points too long and is then dumped into the mar- ie et naturally fails to find a sale. Ship- ping business, particularly in greens^ if good. Beauty receipts are gooer grading is given as the cause of the damage. Jamdaby 7, 1915. The Florists^ Review 15 COIJ} SNAP BEINGS FIBES. Waterloo, la. — Fire starting in the partition between the boiler room and the garage at the greenhouses of Chas. Sherwood December 27 destroyed the delivery automobile, garage and roof of the boiler room. It was checked be- fore it could harm the greenhouses or plants. The damage was $1,200, eoy- ered by insurance. Hopkinsvllle, Bjr. — About $300 dam- age was done by a fire at the green- houses of T. L. Metcalfe, at Sixth and Clay streets, Sunday morning, Decem- ber 27. Between the time the night man went off duty and the day fire- man came on, the boiler became so hot that it set fire to the woodwork. Be- fore the blaze was discovered and ex- tinguished, it had done about $50 damage to the building and $250 dam- age to the plants. There was no in- surance. *' Des Plaines, HL — Fire at the Solomon Garland range December 22 destroyed the boiler house, coal sheds, one green- house and the automobile. The night fireman, returning from looking after the boiler in the violet houses, found the boiler room in a mass of flames. As the establishment is outside the fire lim- its, the efforts of the neighbors were all that saved the other greenhouses. The plants in these were frost-bitten and some are ruined. There was no in- surance carried. ST. LOUIS. The Market. New Year's business was reported better than last year. The demand cen- tered chiefly on cut flowers and was quite as good as for Christmas. Con- sidering that we had only four clear days during the month of December, stock of all kinds has been plentiful. Killarney roses are away off in color. The supply last week was made up of roses and carnations. These were plen- tiful and cheap, with no clean-ups re- ported. Good stock in roses hardly went over $6 per hundred and excel- lent carnations were offered at $2 and $3 per hundred. The dark weather had its effect on violets and sweet peas. These are scarce and as a rule clean up daily. There were quite a few gladioli in the market last week, but the trade did not take to them. In bulbous stock there is excellent valley and plenty of Paper Whites, but Bo- man hyacinths have so far been scarce. Asparagus is reported to be somewhat scarce, but of other greens the supply has been as usual. Various Notes. George B. Windier, who had a loss by fire recently, has his place in fine shape again. The damage was estimated at nearly $4,000. The fire coming when it did, just before the holidays, caused much inconvenience. The trustees of the Florists' Club, who have charge of the club's enter- tainment and dance to take place in Westminster hall, January 27, say the sale of tickets is progressing nicely. The pasteboards will be mailed to all members this week. December 28 the trade had quite a busy dky furnishing flpwers for the opening of the new baEiking rooms of the German' ftavinra Institution, l^^any beautiful designs were sent. THE MEN YOU MEET WTTJJAM J. KT.TMT.Ti. IN THE evening of January 7, William J. Keimel will succeed the man who is, per- haps, his closest friend, as president of the Chicago Florists' Club. Keimel is a pacifist; he is for peace and plenty and usually he gets what he wants, for success has become almost a habit with him. Years ago, while with Poehlmann Bros. Co., he became known as a successful rose grower. Shortly he started into business at Elmhurst, 111., with his brother-in-law and associates, as the Wendland & Keimel Co., and the success was continued. Mr. Keimel is the treasurer and general manager. Although for many years a member of numerous trade organizations, this is the first time he ever has accepted an executive o£Sce in one, and his friends count on a year of unusual prosperity for the club. The Lady Florists' Home Circle will hold its New Year's meeting at the home of Mrs. Fred C. Weber, on Ber- lin avenue. Marion Uhlschmidt, manager for the east side branch store of Grimm & Gor- ly, says the holidays were satisfactory in the sale of both plants and cut flow- ers. Ostertag Bros., a« usual, had a num- ber of good decorating jobs for New Year celebrations in the downtown ho- tels and cafes. W. C. Smith's flower show commit- tee will meet this week and prepare the final report to be presented at the club 's meeting. Many telegraph orders came to The Eeview's advertisers for New Year. These orders have become quite large of late, especially on holidays, and advertisers again reaped a harvest this time. Gladioli for Christmas and New Year's were quite a novelty. H. S. Berning had quite a large shipment of them from Florida. David Geddis, manager of Vander- voort's floral department, says the holi- days this year were away beyond his expectations. J. Byers, traveling salesman for the Chicago Carnation Co., Chicago, spent New Year's here calling on growers. He was much pleased with his first visit here. The St. Louis Seed Co. is settled in its new quarters at 411 and 413 Wash- ington avenue. Last week was moving week. They opened for business Mon- day morning, January 4. Bobbers broke into George Wald- bart's garage December 28 and took a joy ride in his fine touring car, which was later found in the country some- what damaged. The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold its New Year's meeting Thursday af- ternoon, January 14. This meeting will be one of great impQrtfince, as the 16 The Florists^ Review V January 7, 1915. final vote on the proposed spring flower show will be taken. This month 's display at the, Missouri Botanical Garden will be in charge of Max Schiller and should prove a great attraction for growers. Carl F. Giebel, son of Philip Giebel, read an important paper on "Tropical Insects" last month at a meeting of the entomological section of the Acad- emy of Science. In the constitution and by-laws of the Florists' and Nurserymen's Employees' Union, Local No. 44, we noticed the following scale of wages: Nursery- men, $18; helpers, $10 per week. De- signers, $25; helpers, $15. Store sales- men, $15; helpers, $8. Women help is governed by the state labor law. No reference is made to florists or helpers in greenhouses, but some of them are expected to join the union. J, J. 1?. MOTT-LY MUSINGS. Wood Bros., Fishkill, N. Y., have rounded out a satisfactory year and are preparing for another equally flour- ishing. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y., initiated the new year with an indi- vidual message to his employees, full of optimism and of promise, to be fulfilled, under certain conditions, before its close. Percy Herbert, of Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, N. Y., is of the opinion that the demand for flowering plants for holiday sales has come to stay. There was no trouble in disposing of well grown stock this season. George H. Chadborn, of Schaefer's, Inc., Newburgh, was sufficiently recov- ered to assist through the holiday rush and was congratulated by his patrons. He has had a long siege of sickness, following an accident early in the sum- mer. Mark Crawshaw, West Newburgh, found little change in the holiday de- mand, which was highly satisfactory. A sequel to the severe storm last March was the suit, tried last week, of Dr. Wesley Wait, of the Newburgh Floral Co., against the Postal Tele- graph Co., whose poles snapped, falling through some of the greenhouses, de- molishing them and ruining the stock. Through a technicality the suit was dismissed, but may again be entered for trial. The old year saw the filing of a pe- tition in bankruptcy against Gottlieb ' F. Knauss, violet grower, Hyde Park, N. Y., as the result of connection with a construction company at Poughkeep- sie. Saltford Bros., Poughkeepsie, N, Y., are looking for the usual prosperity following the reopening of Vassar and ether schools, which favor them with a large share of first-class patronage. Conrad C. Gindra, Poughkeepsie, sees in the new year reasons for optimism and, with careful planning, expects satisfactory business. Ley & Bro., Highland, N. Y., will continue to grow Adiantum hybridum, which has proved so remunerative. Their entire plant is devoted to the culture of this fern. Valentin Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, N. Y., are much pleased with the new addition to their range of glass. The season will find them prepared with their usual extensive, select stock. So far they have no kick coming. William Williams, Kingston, has had a good season, but believes that the signs of the times denote the survival of the fittest and that the conservative buyer is the one best able to meet the bills when they fall due. W. M. TRADE REPORTS ARE GOOD Great Falls, Mont.— The Electric City Conservatory reports Christmas sales as far ahead of last year, due to the new store opened five months ago. Mendota, HI. — B. Katzwinkel says: "Christmas and New Year's business was excellent, both in plants and cut flowers. ' ' Lawrence, Kan. — A. Whitcomb & 5on report a ten per cent decrease in Christmas business. The increase in the demand for flowering plants keeps up. Great Falls, Mont. — M. Kranz, of the Montana Floral Exchange, says sales for the holidays exceeded those of last year, in spite of stagnation in the cop- per industry. Boulder, Colo. — Charles F. Fawcett says Christmas was ahead of last year. He pushed plants because he grows them, whereas he would have had to order cut flowers from a distance. New Iberia, La. — The ' ' sunny south ' ' is a misnomer at this time of year; C. W. Outhwaite reports only two days of sunshine in three weeks. Rain and cold made Christmas business light. Mitchell, N. D. — After making prepa- rations for a twenty per cent larger business than the year before at^Christ- nias, the Newburys had doubts as to the wisdom of the move, but by adver- tising sold out completely. Wreaths and plant baskets brought the best re- turns. Benton Harbor, Mich. — E. S. Thomp- son says his second Christmas as a retail florist brought double the sales of the first Christmas the store was open. Anderson, Ind. — Stuart & Haugh say Christmas business turned out better tLan expected; the largest number of orders ever filled, but many of them not large. New Haven, Conn. — That fancy bas- kets and artificial flowers are displac- ing holly wreaths and the like, is the opinion of John N. Champion & Co. His Christmas sales were about as usual. Columbus, O. — Christmas sales made the best total ever known here, being far better than expected. John R. Hel- Icnthal comments on the number of or- ders for the shipment of cut flowers by parcel post for gift purposes. Oconto, Wis. — J. Sylvester says -it was the best Christmas yet, with col- lections fine. He reports cut flower sales increased 100 per cent; holly and wreaths, fifty per cent; whole- sale plant trade, twenty-five per cent; retail plant trade decreased ten per cent. Faducah, Ky. — No wonder Schmaus Bros, are optimistic. They say general business has been better than ever this fall, that the florists' has been better than that in other lines, and that Christmas trade was better than last year. They carried a general line of stock, all of which cleaned up well. Little Bock, Ark. — Tipton & Hurst say they could have sold more plants and cut flowers if they had had them Christmas day. Business in general is good and for the holiday was better than last year. Watertown, N, Y. — The poor business this fall lessened the Christmas sales, and Fred E. Avery had only about three-quarters of last year's trAde. Baskets of evergreens and red iBunor- telles were his best sellers. Chattanooga, Tenn. — ^The flower bmi- ness here has suffered badly under tfre severe financial strain, and Christmas sales were behind, though not so far as the unfavorable situation would lead one to expect. The Chattanooga Flo- ral Co. did well with wreaths. Topeka, Kan. — James Hayes noted that people who previously have bought cut flowers this year chose plants and says the lesson of the Christmas trade is that cut flowers must be offered cheaper to bring them back to favor. Holiday sales were the largest ever. Meridian, Miss. — The automobile and flower trade are the only lines holding up, according to J, W. Marshall, Jr. His Christmas trade certainly was good, running twenty-five per cent ahead of last year. He says he cannot get enough carnations for the holidays; the southern grown, although better keep- ers, cannot compare with those from the north in quality and are not grown in sufficient quantity. Jamdabx 7, 1915. The Florists' Review 17 FayettevUle, Ark.— The Southwestern Seed &. Floral Co. found trade was stronger in plants than in cut flowers this season. ^ The company experienced its largest Christmas business. Eau Claire, Wis.— Although the below zero weather was a hindrance, says O. R. Demmler, holiday trade was quite satisfactory. Azaleas and other potted plants sold well, as did baskets. Hutchinson^ Kan.— t^Beauties were in increased demand this year at Kline's Flower Shop. E. H. Kline reports bet- ter business this Christmas than for the last two . years. John Stamm and Yerkes Bros, also report a good trade. Nashua, N. H. — Orders came later and were smaller this Christmas than they were a year ago; the volume was about the same. The florists' business is bet- ter off than most other lines, thinks August Gaedeke & Co., although trade is much the same as usual. Ida, Eau. — Only three days of sun- shine in the four weeks preceding Christinas was a drawback to trade, in the estimation of J. W. Primmer. The cloudy weather seems to have extended over the greater part of the southwest. Holiday business, says Mr. Primmer, was satisfactory. Providence, R. I. — As the flower trade has felt the financial depression about the same as other lines of business this fall, it was to be expected that Christmas trade would fall off. William Chappell reports his to have been one- half of last year's, and bad in compari- son with the year before. Hartford, Conn. — "There seems to be a growing demand for medium-sized and medium-priced plants of all kinds, good, sturdy stuff," report Spear & McManus, whose Christmas business, say they, was better than that a year ago. For poinsettias, valley and vio- lets there was not so great a demand as formerly. Fargo, N. D. — Together with some other merchants of Fargo, the Shotwell Floral Co. signed an agreement to close the store at -7 p. m. December 24. Ac- cording to the company, probably not a sale was lost by this action, and it gave an opportunity for preparation for a good business Christmas morn- ing. The cold and complaints of hard times hurt trade. Birmingham, Ala. — Cheap plants were moat called for at Christmas, for busi- ness has been dull and money tight. Skimmias found favor, and fancy bas- kets filled with plants sold well. Hugh Seales reports his trade satisfactory, in view of existing circumstances, al- though the receipts were thirty per dent less than last year's. As his rose and carnation crops were good, he bought only Beauties, Kichmonds and valley, and went home, sold out, at noon. Alliance, O. — Cut flowers must be put upon the samg. price basis as plants and not raised to exorbitant figures for special occasions if the wholesalers and growers do not wish to suffer a greater slump than they did this year, is J. F. Zimmerman's view. Plants are pro- gressing fast in favor, and cut flowers are not keeping pace. Under present conditions the retailer finds it to his decided advantage to push plants, so that, unless there comes a change, cut flowers are likely to suffer still more. Charleston, W. Va.— The J. W. Alex- ander establishment had a fine cut of carnations and djjd a better Christmas business than ever before. Pot plants made another gain in favor, as offer- ing better value than cut flowers. Fort Wajme, Ind. — The Doswell Flo- ral Co. had a full crop of carnations and scored a ten per cent increase in Christmas sales. There was no change from usual Christmas conditions ex- cept that prices in general were a little lower. Norristown, Pa. — Wm. H. Catanese says the Christmas business all cai^ in two days and sums up the same «s in 1913. Medium priced wreaths .and plants were most in demand, the prices of cut flowers being too high for con- ditions of the year. Pueblo, Colo. — Cold, sunshiny weath- er Christmas day aided sales and de- liveries. G. Fleischer reports business for this occasion about the same as that of the last two years. Small plants had the heaviest sale, but be- gonias do not sell any more. Minot, N. D. — George E. Valker says general business conditions have been about the same as a year ago, there not having been the increase that was ex- pected. Christmas sales increased only ten per cent, as against thirty per cent in 1913. He pushed plants, owing to the uncertainty of getting cut flowers at prices that will permit their sale at a profit. Kansas City, Mo. — The Alpha Floral Co. says luxury buyers turned from the jeweler to the florist this year, so that Christmas sales increased. There was a greater demand for plants, and a cor- responding decrease in cut flower buy- ing. The lesson of the cold weather was that more careful preparations should be made for the protection and delivery of plants. Charleroi, Pa. — ^The store opened here something -over a year ago by the Kinder Floral Co. has given such good results that another was opened a few weeks ago at Monessen, Pa. I. V. Kin- der says the business depression has been felt keenly throughout th# dis- trict, but holiday business was helped by the special effort employers made to pay off before Christmas. Hartford, Conn. — "Use art in ar- rangement and charge for it," is the suggestion of G. W. McClunie for a profitable Christmas trade. He found the more expensive wreaths, of statice and barberry, more profitable than azaleas and begonias, because the lat- ter have been cheapened by being sold at too low prices. An increase in the number of charges was the only effect he could see of abnormal business con- ditions. Sales were better than last year. Savannah, Ga. — John Wolf says Christmas was just as good as 1912 and better than in 1913 in spite of the worst general business situation in twenty years. He found made-up bas- kets of plants at frqpi $2.50 to $10 the best sellers. "As long as good roses wholesale above $15 per hundred they will not sell well here," he says; "we can retail a few at $3 per dozen, but no big business can be done above $2 per dozen. It is the same with Beauties; we can sell a lot of them at from $5 to $10 per dozen, but not many at $12 and $15." OBITUARY John Bichardson. John Eichardson, aged 33 years, in business as a retailer ^t Scranton, Pa., died December 25, after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, Hilda; also by his mother, three brothers and two sisters. The funeral took place the following after- noon, with services at the residence. Burial was at Dalton. John Monson. John Monson, proprietor of the Min- neapolis Floral Co., Minneapolis, Minn., died at his home Monday night, Decem- ber 28, after a brief illness. He was taken sick a few days before the holi- days, but was reported better about Christmas day; then the sudden report of his demise came as a distinct shock to his many friends. Mr. Monson was 48 years of age. He came to this country twenty-two years ago from his native country, Sweden, where, except for a short time spent in Denmark, he learned and practiced his profession. After he had spent only a short time with August S. Swanson, at St. Paul, the Smith Floral Co., of Min- neapolis, tendered him the position of foreman and manager of its extensive range. After three years of success there, he started out for himself as proprietor of the Minneapolis Floral Co., seventeen years ago. He showed what may be accomplished when skill, energy, perseverance and thrift are as- sociated and properly directed, for he built up his business from nothing to the largest in the state. One of his greatest pleasures was raising roses, and he brought out a nugiber of these which are well known locally. Two, at least, are well known to the entire trade, Kate Moulton and Minnetonka. Mr. Monson was married about four years ago, and leaves his wife and an adopted daughter, Beatrice. The re- gard in which he was held by the local members of the trade was witnessed by the , large number of them who, al- though it was in the midst of the busy holiday season, gathered at his funer- al December 31. He was buried in Lakewood cemetery. LILIES FOB EASTEB. What is the best variety of Easter lily to grow commercially? How soon ought the bulbs to be potted to bloom for Easter? H. A. B.

Perhaps it is because of their national trait, a painstaking thoroughness, that Germans are such excellent florists. It is worth while remembering that no permanent business ever was buUt on a cut price basis. Build on quality and charge fair prices. Turning round on a smaller margin may as well engage the trade 's attention now as later. It is a condition, not a theory, that demands consideration. Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. One of the most competent of adver- tising advisers says retail florists who do not put price tickets on the stock in their window displays are passing up one of the most potent factors in selling. One of the "days" that failed is January 29 — the anniversary of WUliara McKiniey's birth — but in certain parts of the country it is easily possible to double the sale of carnations that day. All that is needed is a little advertising. The developments of the last few months have given force to the demand for a closer scrutiny of credit risks and more care is being taken than ever be- fore to see that buyers do not get in too deep.

There is one thing sure, the expe- rience at Christmas will result in a still larger provision for plant business next December and, doubtless, at Easter. There is, of course, the probability that some day the pendulum will swing in the other direction, but for the moment it is certain the wholesale cut flower interests face a problem; unless busi- ness conditions change radically cut flowers will receive even less attention ill the future than they did this Christ- mas. The holiday trade reports show the public bought cut flowers willingly, but many retailers who must buy the slock they sell made their principal ef- fort with pot stock, for the obvious reason that they ran less risk of loss and stood better chance of profit. With an increasing supply of plants the need for cut flowers will grow less. High prices for special days have militated against the popularity of cut flowers, but of equal disadvantage has been the uncertainty as to supply and quality. Retailers who grow their own cut flowers sold out cl6an at Christmas, because they could be sure of their sup- ply and could price |]t for rapid selling, without regard to i advance quotations in wholesale centers. It shows quite clearly that the cut flower interests can counter against the plantsmen when- ever they are ready to adopt a different policy. To bring cut flowers back to favor it is necessary to do no more than put the advance quotations at a point where the retailers will take hold, reassured by a guarantee that orders wiirbe fiUid in full with goo4 stock at the prices agreed iipdn — which is not so easy as it sounds. Since no one regularly can estimate with accuracy th,e,, extent of j:he supply or IJie de- HONORABLE MBNTION. Not a few subscribers save them- selves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or some- times $5, instead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty -two visits of ^ the paper.

Having many times been told by his friends that his own name should be used in his business, John A. Evans has decided to take their advice. Conse- quently the name of the corporation, Quaker City Machine Co., is in process of being changed to the John A. Evans Co. There will be no other change. CHICAGO. The Market. The old year went out without a rip- ple, and the new year has come in vdth the largest supply of stock this market ever has known in January. One will not be far out of the way in stating that there is an abundance of all kinds of stock, with more than is needed in most lines. Prices are lower, on the average, than they ordinarily are at this date, but there are signs of a pos- sible change to more nearly normal conditions. Within the last few days certain growers have begun to cut more lightly in their houses of Killarney and there has been a slight improve- ment in the demand for carnatioiis, al- though the supply is extremely J^avy. White Killarney is coming in more plentifully and with a number of the wholesalers has given more concern, during the last few days, than have the pink roses. According to all the rules of the game there should be little call for white roses at Christmas and a fine call for them in January. Many gi'owers have acted accordingly. Tak- ing the market aaj.a whole, there is no shortage on any rose, although of course some of the varieties not largely grown are not always to be picked up on a moment's notice; they can be had by ordering early. Mrs. Russell is in large supply. The quality is not quite so good as itSvas when the skies were brighter and the prices are not so much above those of other roses as they were. On the whole the behavior of the rose to date is encouraging to the growers. Beauties are in good supply. Even short and medium stems are plentiful. Carnations have been in such large supply that even with a little better demand some of the wholesalers ha^e. had no alternative except cheap sales to clean out. Splits are a burdeti, for good carnations are so cheap few buy- ers care for splits, although there is a big percentage of .bur3ted..flJ0"vfetS. in Jamdaby 7, 1916.

Sweet peas have become more plentiful and of better quality; some excellent Spen- cer varieties are available in consider- able quantity. Valley is equal to all requirements, and more. Cattleyas are coming stronger. These are the popular corsage flowers and they are selling in quantity, although at no high prices. Tulips have arrived, jonquils having come a week or more ago. From now on there is likely to be a flood of bulb- ous stock, rising steadily as the weeks pass. Paper Whites were never more abundant and seldom less in request, prices having fallen to a point where there seems little incentive for the growers. Bomans are not nearly so abundant. Freesia is more plentiful than it was last week. Easter lilies are offered in quantity. Stevia still is everywhere. The wholesalers in many cases are admonishing the growers to hold back some of these plentiful items, preferring not to crowd their counters for the inspection of the buyers. Greens .of all kinds are abundant. There have been considerable arrivals of boxwood since Christmas, stock de- layed on the rail. Ferns are plentiful iind there* is nothing in the situation to indicate the approach of the flurry that some of the wholesalers pre- dicted would appear after the turn of the year. Their calculations appear to be based on waste rather than on demand and it is apparent some of the ferns are not keeping any too well. It is not always possible to get asparagus strings and smilax at a moment's no- tice. They can be had for all early orders. December Weather. The warm weather of November con- tinued until December 12, after which the temperature ranged much below normal. There was considerably more snow than usual in the month. The jjercentage of sun was slightly above normal, which may' have been the most important factor in enabling the grow- ers to bring in big crops for Christmas. Lautenschlager's Surprise.

According to August Poehlmann the uBe of motor trucks to haul the cut to the city from Morton Grove has not proved much of an economy in money, but it has proved well worth while in other ways. The cost of two men and the usual allowance tor interest, depreciation, repairs, etc., about equals the sum paid the express company when the stock was sent in by rail. There has been, however, a practical elimina- tion of breakage, which formerly cost several dollars a day. Also, the trucks make city deliveries for the plant de- partment, which has grown rapidly, carry boxes from the new factory to the store and do other work not cov- ered by the record of express charges. Wendland & Keimel now ship their cut to market in corrugated fiber board boxes made by the Lanzit Corrugated Paper Box Co., 503 South Jefferson street, using each box only once. Josie Merle is the name of a new carnation that is making a reputation as a good shipper. It is a variety Peter Reinberg acquired last year from \V. T. Symonds, of Decorah, la. It is near the color of Rose-pink Enchantress but has better form and keeping qual- ities. The Chicago Florists' Club meets to- night, January 7, for the installation of oflBcers.

He figures that, all the growers having had their roses and carnations in crop for Christmas, the cuts soon will decrease sharply. Mr. Michelsen anticipates, however, that this season there will be the largest supply of bulbous flowers this market ever has seen. With the passing of New Year 's John Degnan has settled down at his desk at Winterson's Seed Store to write the annual spring catalogue. Sam Pearce sent in the first tulips seen in the market this year. They arrived January 2.

There is a daily clean-up of cut stock, and of some kinds there is barely enough to go around. No large social affairs have been han- dled since the holidays, but the run of small orders has been steady. Sales are averaging well with those of for- mer years. There has been consider- able funeral work, which used up the cut stock in light colors as fast as it came in and left the market short of everything except Paper Whites. Home-grown roses are less plentiful and some California stock is being brought in. There are no liome-growii violets now, bat the California-grown ones received are of excellent quality. Enough chrysanthemums come in to make small displays in some of the stores. Pink Maud Dean mums lead and these are of splendid quality. A few Chadwicks are still seen. A few of the small French daffodils and svveet peas of inferior quality have appeared. Among pqtted flowering i)lauts, cyclamens still lead by a large margin, with primulas, ericas, potted Komans and azaleas on the list. The supply of orchids about equals the demand, with Cattleya Trianae, Percivaliana and yome varieties of la;lias and cypripedi- ums among the favorites. The whole- sale .growers are getting average prices for all the stock they can furnish and there is nothing wasted after it reaches the hands of the retailers. Various Notes. .

Portland Floral Society will be held on Tuesday evening, January 19, at the Masonic Temple. I The holiday display of the Floral Studio, at the branch store, attracted considerable attention. The wreaths, baskets and decorations displayed were made principally of native mate- rials and were of unique design. The firm reports that a good business is being done. C. C. Ruenitz has some well grown foliage begonias in several varieties at bis store in the Masonic Temple. During the cold spell in December some damage occurred to plants while being hauled about the city. S. Lub- liner reports that a load of kentias was considerably injured while being transferred a few blocks; Max M. Smith grew a large lot of excellent cyclamens and has given them prominence in his fall and win- ter displays. He says they have sold well. Clark & Breeze report a fine holiday business at their new store. S. B. Hendee has closed the store which he opened in the Filers build- ing in the fall. He found conditions at his location in the lobby unsuitable for a flower store. Clarke Bros, have a pair of excep- tionally fine Cocos Weddelliana in their window display. The palms are about five feet high, perfect in form and without a blemish. Niklas & Son have been shipping some good-sized orders to interior points. They have had a large sup- ply of valley, grown at the range of Rahn & Herbert, at Clackamas. A. F. Lalane is showing some good begonias of the Lorraine type at his store in the Orpheum theater building. They were grown by the Holden Floral Co. The first pussy willows are appear- ing in some of the store windows. The People's Floral Shop is selling some excellent small-sized Cincinnati begonias, which were grown by Aug. Zittewics. The flowers offered for sale at the public market appear to be of low giade and but few of them are sold there. So long as the regular flower market will take all offerings of sal- able stock, there is no strong induce- ment for growers to take the time and trouble to retail their flowers. S. W. W. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Business has been a little dull. However, there has been a shortage of stock in cut flowers, so that prices have been well maintained. Carnations are in demand, there being an unusual scarcity for this time of year, and con- siderable of the flowers coming in are weak-stemmed and lacking in keeping qualities. Good Maud Dean chrysan- themums are still on the market, but the season for them is past and they are not often asked for. Roses are scarce and almost entirely of southern origin. Paper Whites and Romans are being cleaned up fast, taking the place of other flowers. Violets are of bet- ter quality than they have been; con- sequently more are being used. Callas are now fairly plentiful and the de- niiiiid is good. Some fine plants of malacoides are selling well.

New Jersey nurserymen will soon have a state oiganization, if plans un- dertaken at a meeting January 2, at the close of farmers' week at the state college of agriculture and experiment station, at is'ew Brunswick, N. J., are carried out. As members of a com- mittee to arrange a meeting for the formation of a nurserymen's associa- tion, the following were named: L. C. Bobbink, of Bobbink & Atkins, Buther- ford; William Flemer, of the F. & F. Nurseries, Springfield, and J. T. Lovett, of the Monmouth Nurseries, Little Sil- ver. At the meeting .January 2, Thomas J. Headlee, state entomologist, presid- ed. E. M.

Henry B. Weiss, as- sistant state entomologist, discussed the nurserymen's insect problems, and C. A. Schwartz told of common dis- eases of nursery stock. FEDERAL INSPECTION REPORT. The news letter of the Federal Horti- cultural Board just to hand, covering the results of inspection of imported nursery stock since December 3, shows the countries that caused the inspectors most work were Belgium and Holland. From the former country the receipts were entirely florists' stock, such as azaleas, palms, bay trees, boxwoods, rhododendrons, araucarias and aspidis- tras. From Holland the receipts were various kinds of nursery stock, largely rose stocks, evergreens and shrubs. The pests and diseases found on these were so various that the findings indicate nothing, unless it is that the same ol(J pests are just as general as ever. Eng- land is represented on the list only by crown gall on pear and rose stocks and root gall on roses; France does not appear in the list at all. The distribu- tion of the pests is general through the states, as usual. NON-RESIDENT CORPORATIONS. Nursery companies which do business- in states other than those where they are incorporated will be interested in a decision lately handed down by the United States Supreme court, to the effect that, although a state may pre- scribe limitations upon the right of a non-resident corporation to carry on business which is wholly executed with- in the state, as where a contract is made in a given state for the delivery Ox nursery stock there, and although a state may even make proper regula- tions to preserve the public health, morals and general welfare, the right o" a non-resident company to sue in the courts of tlie state to recover the price which a resident has agreed to- pay for goods delivered under an in- terstate commercial transaction cannot be impaired.

But the United States Supreme court reversed the decision, holding that, so far as the South Dakota laws might be construed as "> fixing such limitation, they were unconstitutional, as interfer- ing with the sole prerogative of Con- gress to regulate interstate commerce.

Mrs, Freeman had an attractive win- dow this week, a living picture por- trayed by having a fine specimen azalea ir. a birch-trimmed picture, with plenty of green velvet to add the finishing touches, Mr, Feniger also had a window that deserves comment. In the center he had a large pole, about six feet high, at the top of which was a large ball of white cape flowers illuminated with small electric lights. From this were suspended six white ribbons represent- ing a May pole. Large dolls held these ribbons. There always was a crowd in front of the store, eager to get a glimpse of "the dollies at the May pole.

There has been little change in the market during the laat week. The weather has been cloudy, and carna- tions are a little soft, but everything deems to be producing a good ciit. Roses continue . to be the most plenti- ful flowers, but there is a better va- riety than there has been for some time, violets, sweet peas and lilies be- ing more in evidence, while valley is beginning to come in normal quantities. The stores are filled with primulas and cyclamens, and made-up boxes are more iu evidence than at any time this win- ter. Various Notes, The Joy Floral Co. reports that while the new yellow carnations sold well the first tew days, the demand seemed to cease as soon as they came to be considered something that any- one could get. The company will plant uone of them next season, but are planting considerably more than a thou- sand Hoosier Beauty roses. The Alclntyre 1" loral Co. is busy prop- agating or working over the beds for next season. The beds for mums are being deepened to about three feet and filled with soil that should produce any- thing. Then peas are being planted, with the expectation of removing only the top soil when they are done and renewing it before planting next year's mums. Mr. Waine, who has liatl a small place as a side line for some years, is talking of selling out, as his other busi- ness occupies so much of his time that he is unable to give the greenhouse the attention necessary to make it profit- able. He will retain the small liouse tor private use. J. F. Corbitt, who has been growing vegetable plants as a side line for the last two or three years, will grow a much increased number this season. Geny Bros, have been busy with fu- neral work the last few days. They are cutting heavily of orchids at pres- sent, considering the limited number of plants they grow. They say that the profit is not in the number of plants they have but in the number of blooms they can cut. At Hillcrest School Farm the first Buddleia Asiatica is in bloom. The panicles are not so wide as I had sup- posed and the color is not absolutely white, yet I believe that the plant has a great future, especially where it proves hardy in the open. It seems to be a freer bloomer than variabilis, if such a thing be possible, and it is the most deliciously fragrant bloom that 1 remember having smelled. F. B.

D'ABENBEBO This variety might well have been termed a Red Killarney, as it possesses so many of the good qualities of the Killameys. In color the flowers are similar to Richmond, but they are much more double, and it should prove a very much more profitable rose. Flow- ers have fine, straight stems on all the grades — from the shortest to the longest. It has fine foliage, comes away quickly and is even a freer bloomer than the Killameys. We believe it is the best all-round red rose that we have today. Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-incli pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 per 1000.

Flowers are rosy red and are unusually large and double, resem- bling very much a very full, double, hardy garden rose.

Pittsburgh is having most delightful winter weather. Most of the last week the sun shone like spring and naturally the cut flower supply has been enor- mous; no shortage in anything and now trumpet narcissi and tulips are being added to the variety. Business has shown no inclination to improve, and with the light demand have come cheaper prices. Carnations have been sold on the streets at two dozen for 25 cents. The retail stores are all looking their best and seem to be fairly busy, but have nothing much in the way of large orders — few large decora- tions are heard of these days. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club met January 5 and nominated all the officers for re- election. There were two exhibits of prepared foliage and artificial stock, some really pretty things that would attract and please the eye of anyone, even those who are not the friends of this class of matwial. There were sev- eral talks on the subject of florists handling the stock and the injury it may eventually do the trade in nat- ural flowers, but there was another side to the argument, as many of the arti- ficial flowers are beautiful and can be used in ways and places where it would be impossible to use natural flowers. Then there is always the suggestion that goes with them, to use flowers, which will certainly be a suggestion to use natural flowers, as no one wish- ing to express sentiment will send any- thing artificial. The verdict seemed to be that there is a place for the arti- ficial stock and that no amount of objection on the part of cut flower in- terests will drive it away. Various Notes. A slick Greek, supposed to be a valet for a millionaire whose child was dead at one of the hotels, victimized several of our Greek flower merchants for various sums he needed for change while he secured for them the large order for flowers and inquiry failed to find the millionaire or his valet. The A. W. Smith Co. is showing a new flexible pot cover that is one of the best things oflfered the trade. It is made of bamboo in all colors. A man can carry under one arm enough for all the plants in a large decoration. The cover fastens around the pot and can be adjusted in a second. With zinc pans under the pots to catch the water, the cover catches the pan and holds it so that the plant can be car- ried about.

Wyncote, Pa. ROCHESTER, N. T. The Market. Business slackened up towards the cud of last week and is now back in its normal condition. There is a fine as- sortment of blooming plants, which in- cludes various shades in Dutch hya- cinths, Eomans, begonias, cyclamens, heather, primulas and azaleas. The cut flower trade is good and ele- gant stock arrives daily on the market. The demand for roses of all grades has been good. The supply of carnations is good. Sweet peas are coming in larger quantities. Paper Whites are much used for design work. Easter lilies are quite plentiful and callas are arriving more freely. Valley is good, but does not clear as fast as it should. Violets are moving more readily. Mari- golds in yellow and orange shades, mig- nonette, myosotis and snapdragons com- plete our stock. Various Notes. Mrs. and the Misses Myrtle and Donna Bradstreet are spending the winter in California. E. A. Kennon, of the Climax Mfg. Co., Castorland, N. Y., was in town January 4 on his western trip. A special meeting of the Rochester Florists' Association was held at 47- 51 Stone street, Monday evening, Janu- ary 4. The chief business was to se- lect a nominating committee to choose officers for 1915. At the outset John Dunbar, who has been president of the association for the last three years, stated that he would not be able to run for president this year. A com- mittee was then named, with Harry E. Bates as chairman. Henry P. Neun's West Main street store, next to the Schubert theater en- trance, is doing a good corsage trade. Hugo Teute, after clearing almost all the plants he had in bloom for the holidays, among them nearly 1,400 cyclamens, still has about 500 of these plants, which are coming along in fine shape. Charles Curtis, Irondequoit, N. Y., is well pleased with his cuts of carna- tions. His Delights are in fine condi- tion. H.J.H. Chattanooga, Tenn. — ^The Chattanoo- ga Floral Co. looks forward to a good season as it starts its second year, de- spite the financial strain in other lines. The company has about 6,000 feet un- der glass, besides hotbeds and other outside equipment. GERANIUMS We have excellent stock, in fine shape, of what represents the leaders, in such varieties as S.

Suporior Stroot CHICAaO Mention The ReTlew when yon wrif . Greenhouse Heating. SIZE OF BOILEB. I should like to know how large a hot water boiler will be needed to heat two greenhouses, each 15x100, and a dwelling of six rooms, in this Pennsyl- vania climate. I have been thinking of purchasing a second-hand boiler. What size of boiler will be needed and v/hich would be the better kind, cast- iron or tubular! L. C. L. The information furnished does not give a perfectly clear idea of what will bo required in the way of a boiler. So far as the greenhouses are concerned, it will make a difference of at least fifty per cent whether the houses are used for violets or roses, while the size of the rooms in the dwelling and the amount of exposed window and wall surface should also be known before any definite estimate can be furnished. In sections where a zero temperature must be planned for, the average 6-room house can be heated by 350 square feet of hot water radiation. When a tem- perature of 60 degrees must be main- tained in a greenhouse 15x100 feet, not far from 600 square feet will be needed. Under those circumstances, for the six-room dwelling and two greenhouses I would select a hot water boiler rated for 2,000 square feet of radiation. Whether a cast-iron or tubular boiler should be used depends fully as much upon the construction of the heater as upon the material used. NOT ENOUGH HEAT. I have two connected greenhouses, each 24x55. The side walls are five feet high and consist of three feet of concrete and two feet of glass. Three of the gable ends are glass. Each of the houses is twelve feet high to the ridge. In one of the houses there are two feed pipes, one of them 4-inch and the other 3-inch; also seven 2- iiich returns next to the concrete wall and five 2-inch returns along the walk.

The top of the boiler is even with the greenhouse floor, and the return pipes drop two and one-half or three feet from the floor to the boiler. Please tell me whether the boiler and pipes are large enough and whether the pipes are connected right, as I cannot get enough heat in the greenhouses to keep the plants from freezing, when we have our coldest South Dakota weather. A. D. So far as one can judge from the description given, the radiation is suf- ficient for 60 degrees in the old house and for 55 degrees in the new one, and the boiler is sufficiently large for the radiation. In fact, there is a sur- plus of fully fifty per cent in the boiler capacity. It is stated that the feed pipes have a fall of fifteen feet one inch. While this may mean that there is a difference of fifteen feet one inch between the highest part of the flow pipe and the return, I am of the opinion that what it was intended to say was that the flow pipes have a fall of one inch in fifteen feet. I am not able, from the description, to locate the trouble. I would sug- gest, however, that in the new house either one 2i/^-inch main return or two 2-inch pipes be used instead of one 2-inch return. The letter does not state where the flow pipes are carried in the old house. If they are on the wall plates and the return pipes are located on the walls directly under the flows, or well up on the legs of the benches, I would expect a temperature of 60 degrees without a generator, and an extra 10 degrees when the genera- tor is working. Unless a generator is used, I would run the returns as well as the flow pipes as high as possible and connect the expansion tank with the highest part of the system, run- ning the pipes downhill.

Gentlemen: In renly to your query would state that I planted seedling stock plants and snap- ' dragon cuttings In the first lot of bands that I received from yon early in January. We took some of these out and planted them where they are_ to remain about the 15th of February. They made a OOOD GROWTH while In the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they had never been moved at all. I have now about 14.000 carnation plants started In 2-ln. bands which are making a RAPID GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant- ing from the sand. I also have abont 20.000 aster plants trans- planted In 2-ln. bands which can stay there till time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OP BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case If I used 2-ln. pots. Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND enough to Inlure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water- ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. I make my bands and sot them In flats, as I make them up. each flat holding 117. When we get crowded Indoors It takes but a short time to move the flats to a cold frame, where we harden them off lyefore setting them in the field. One man can sot MORE THAN ANOTHER TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants In the field from these bands and flats than he can from pots, and after he Is thmueh DOES NOT HAVE THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP. CT.EAN- ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. I believe anyone nslng these bands 0N(7E WILL BECOME A REGT^LAR CUSTOMER. Yours trnl.v, H, B. Weaver. H. B. WEAVER Cut Flowers United Phone.

There were 456 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised in 4-Inch Square Paper Pots and 103 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised in 4-inch clay pots. The above was taken from the following report in the Market Growers' Journal, January 1, 1914, page 6. • NUMBER OF STEMS IN BLOSSOM June 9 June 20 June 27 On 40 plants from clay pots 45 47 121 On 40 plants from paper pots 106 229 4.56 When set in the field May 15th, the root sys- tems of the plants from the 4-Inch square paper pots were 4-lnch cubes (64 cubic Inches of soil and roots) and from the 4-Inch clay pots the root systems contained 31 cubic inches of soil and roots (the amount that a 4-Inch clay pot holds). The third count of blossoms was made June 27, 42 days after the plants had been set in the field. The plants from the square paper pots were then more than twice as large and vigorous as those raised in clay pots. All plants raised in square paper pots are larger and more vigorous than those raised in clay pots, because they have about double root room for the same size pots. Measure the two pots and you will find that the 4-inch square paper pot holds as much soil as two 4-inch clay pots. It is the same with square dirt bands, which are square paper pots without bottoms (the bot- toms being furnished by old newspapers spread on the bench). The theory that it is only necessary to have a big top to the plant has been proved misleading. There must be a big root system to push the top or the plant will grow slow and small. Try some square paper pots or dirt hands with your clay pots and see if you can afford to use any clay pots. Some of the florists around Philadelphia are using large numbers of square dirt bands and paper pots. We have shipped to Mr. P. B. Dllks. Brides- burg.

The Dalles, Oregon, Jan. 4tb. 191S. F. W. Rochelle & Sons. Dear Sirs: The thoroughly dependable quality of material commends them to users everywhere. Growing and shipping in same pots saves ail kinds of labor. Tomato plants which without your pots sell here for $1.00 per 100, raised in your pots sell at $4.00 per 100. Yours very truly. The Dalles Floral Co. "I raised tomato, cabbage, eggplant and pepper plants in the pots bought of you. They accom- plished their puriwse of keeping the roots of the plants separate and in their own spaces to per- fection. From about 2700 tomato plants I picked 1140 marketable crates of tomatoes which brought me $600." D. B. Moses, Purchase, N. Y. "We grew about 800 tomato plants in your paper pots for our uncle In Rock Creek, Ohio. There is a canning factory there. Our uncle says they were hv far the best plants set out In Rock Creek last spring. We sent them 16 miles on a platform dray, rather than take a chance on a delay in freight, and the teamster told us he had a dozen chances to sell them on the way down. We got the Paper Pots so our uncle need not send any pots back. The experiment was satis- factory. We are Impressed with the fact that Paper Pots give so much more root space than other pots. We hope to use some 4 inch pots for starting 'cukes' and 'toms' for greenhouse work this spring. One firm does greenhouse work onlv." Gallup Bros., Ashtabula, Ohio. "The crop from the plants grown in your dirt bands paid me the best of any crop of tomatoes grown since I have been In the business." J. M. Gage, Market Gardener, Wllllmantlc, Conn "I used the Rochelle dirt bands for early toma- toes and cucumbers with very great success. I had an Immense crop of both tomatoes and cucum- bers and both started picking fully 15 days before the usual time in this section." Chaa. H. Weaver (Choice Fruit and Vegetables), Dunnville, Ont., Can. I used your 4-Inch Dirt Bands successfully for tomatoes, watermelons and cantelonpes.

We had tomatoes the first of June, and the only to matoes In Kay Co.. Okla.. this year, due entirelv to using your Dirt Bands and getting them out early."

Kindly quote us on 2, 3 and 4-Inch paper pots In large quantities and oblige." Purltas Farm Products Company, Newburgh I used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants — also for mignonette, heliotrope and helichrysum. I and my trade were pleased with them. I shall use more the coming season." Chas. C. Roberts, Lansdowne, Pa. "I have used your paper Dirt Bands in the hotbed and find them suitable for about every- thing. They handle nicely and produce fine plants." F. J. Gallagher, Woodville, N. Y. "I think your Paper Pots are O. K. I used them for tomatoes and melons. They put me on the market with these about 2 weeks" earlier than I have ever been without the pots." Wm. Terpstea, Hammond, Ind. We raised vegetable plants and asters In your Paper Pbts.

The post-holiday slump is with us. It was a little late in getting here, but the force with which it came more than made up for its tardiness. Busi- ness is slow, and it is hard to realize that the same class of stock that brought good prices two weeks ago is being sold for next to nothing. The supply of carnations is heavy and the .quality of the stock is good. Prices, however, have not held up at all well, and despite the tremendous drop in price, the cut is moving slowly. The supply of roses has shortened up considerably. During the first part of the week just past the quantity was so large that it was impossible to dis- pose of the cut and consequently some fine stock was thrown away. Toward the end of the week, however, the shortening was apparent; in fact, it was not possible to take care of some orders, received on short notice. The quality of the stock remains fine, but prices are lower than they should be at this time of year. Violets are plentiful. After the shortage of this stock so long this season, it is a relief to be able to take care of all orders, but the supply is now so heavy that trouble is experi- enced in disposing of what comes to the market Qach day. Quality is good, and the price is low enough, but still sales are none too numerous. Valley is also moving slowly. There is some good stock on the market, but it is mostly decorating the counters. The first tulips aiid a few jonquils have made their appearance on the market and are as good as can be expected for the first cut of the season.

' KNOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. The --weather is cold and bright, and stock of all kinds is fine. Carnations, which were splitting pretty badly last week, are now almost perfect, and the supply exceeds the demand. Eoses are better than at any time this season, Killarneys predominating. Narcissi are fine, and the market is still overstocked. Valley, orchids and hyacinths are good and plentiful. There is also a good supply of plants, which are selling well. Business has been a little off, as there has been nothing going on to amount to anything, and funeral work has only been normal. Various Notes. E. G. Hill, of the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., and Arthur Zirkman, representing the M. Bice Co., Philadel- phia, called on the trade last week, and Gunnar Teilmann, Jr., of Johnson City, Tenn., spent two days in Knoxville. C. li. Baum is cutting some fine carna- tions, roses and orchids. He has in stock a large number of fine primrose plants in pots, which are moving fast. Addison J. McNutt has done a great deal of funeral work during the last week. Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno also has been rather busy with funeral work. A. H. Dailey sold a large number of pot plants last week. He is beginning to cut baby primroses. The new year started with a rush at C. W. Crouch 's, but things have quieted down the last few days. Flow- ers have been rather scarce since the Christmas rush, but from now on he will have a heavy cut of carnations, roses and sweet peas; orchids also are blooming better, and the demand is great. Several decorations for dances have been put up of late; one especially, of southern wild smilax, was much ad- mired. R. E. M. GLAZING STAPLES FOR HOTHOUSE WORK E. H. Tilchener A Co. BINGHAMTON, N.

In fact, the hotbed sash and greenhouse material was absolutely free from knots, worm holes and sap, and if they vieie defective in any way we have not found it yet. We have bought several hundred hotbed saih locally and have always got what we con- sidered first-class sash, but your sash are ahead of them every way. not only in Quality of material but especially in construction and workmanship, and, best of all, we saved forty cents on every sash. . , ..^ ^ If you wish to refer anyone to us. or to print this letter, you are at perfect liberty to do so. Yours very truly, Edgar Bkebe & Sons. The above are responsible gardeners and farmers, and it is with pleasure that we print this verbatim copy of their letter, the original of which we have in our ofBce. The purchase from us was made only after due consideration of the esti- mates of other manufacturers covering the same material. Their order con- sisted of several hundred hotbed sash, material for three greenhouses and a carload of pecky cypress bench material.

Correcting an rmpression About our BoIted-Through-and-T Column Pitting. gh nT is apparent there is a little confusion in the minds of some as to exp^ctly what we have meant in our ads , in describing our 25- year-old column fitting, which we have been using all these years in our Half Iron Frame house. We spoke of it as be- ing "bolted through." Evidently, we failed to make it plain whether the bolt went through only the fit- ting, or through both fitting and column. From the abov-e cut, it's plain to be seen that we put the bolt through both the fit- ting and the column. We have been doing it this very same way The Hltohincre Bolted-throutrli Coiiimn fitting has hfon bolt<'d throueli - niid - through In just this way for u (luartor of » opntury. for the last quarter of a century. To our notion, it has always been one of the strong points of our Half Iron Frame Construction. Beyond all doubt, it has had much to do with the fact that never in all the 25 years we have been using it has the roof of any of these houses been either lifted up or blown down by the wind. In our next issue, we will show you just why our angle iron purlin, used as we use it in our Half Iron Frame house, is better than a pipe purlin.

RICHMOND CEDAR WORKS, Richmond, Va. Jamuaby 14, 1915. The Horists^ Review 98 The Arthur Cockcroft Ransre at Northport, L. i. The Four Houses are L. & B. Construction. One of Uncle Sam's Boys Made a Mistake and Instead of the Plans Going: to Arthur Cockcroft at Northport, L. I., They Went Way to Honolulu. |W0 MONTHS after the hoDses were up, the plaos and erection instructions came back from their jaunt to the Hawaiian Islands. None of us, in the meantime, had heard anything about their CoinK astray. All we knew was that "the houses were going up satisfactorily," If Mr. Cockcroft can put up our Iron Frame houses without the aid of plans or erection instructions— it certainly speaks well for the simplicity of our iron frame construction and the accuracy with which the materials we furnish must be cut. fitted and drilled at our factory, all ready for putting together. Don't know how long Mr. Cockcroft was putting the houses up. but in a recent conversation with Mr. Alban Harvey of Brandy wine Summit, near Philadelphia, he said that after the posts and eave plates were ready, it took him only (> days to put up the complete framework of the big house 72 x 500 he bought of us last year. To get back to Mr. Cockcroft' s houses; he had a bit of previous building experience that, to use his expression, "cut his eye teeth." It happened with his first house— that big one at the left. When he compared our estimate with another builder's, ours looked high. It was higher— considerably higher. So much higher, we lost the order. Two years afterwards, however, when the house became "wob- bly" and we were asked to strengthen and re-support the entire roof, Mr. Cockcroft good uaturedly admitted that whon he bought another house he would compare constructions and materials, first, and price, afterwards. The lower priced house he bought, was worth all he paid for it. He got just what he paid for. But! Mr. Cockcroft now says that "if fewer men cut their eye teeth on just price, and more sharpened their wits on quality, many growers' bank accounts would be larger." And it's just so in all other kinds of business: for after all, business is just business— no matter what is your business. So when you are read.T to talk over this business of building, with an eye for solidly building your business— we shall be heartily glad to hear from you. |ofd^§Rtiniham6.

Th« Florists' Review m WIYNKX AGAOISr THE INEVITABLE? What's the good in trying to get a half -nelson on the inevitable t What's the use in trying to row against a swift current, when you tiay as well easily and pxofltaUy float with the tidef When you build a Greenhouse of other wood than Cypress, you are simply bucking the. inevitable. As Greenhouse material Cypress is inevitably the one article that you must use to "save your bacon." Its char- acter is so thoroughly established that there is nothing else to the proposition. When you use a "substitute" wood — a substitute for Cypress — in any of the parts of the Greenhouse, or in any of the wooden tools and appliances about the place, you are simply rowing against the current. Cypress u so thoroughly established, so universally recognized as the one perfect material, that to use it in Greenhouse construction or appliances, is like floating down stream. So quit "kicking against the pricks" — get into line and use the one certifled material, which is nothing leM than "Tank Grade" Cypress. Of course you want PECKY CYPRESS, however, for your benches. And thsrt is cheap enough to suit anybody — and for such homely uses lasts longer than grades costing more. ASK US TO "PASS THE GRAVY" Those Cypress booklets are like gravy at a dinner — one can't do without them. VoL 3 is the greenhouse book; Vol. 4 is the Bam Book, and Vol. 28 is the Trellis and Arbor Book — all free. Then there are Vol. 20, the Farm Needs Book; Vol. 36 is the Carpentry Book, and 37 is the Big Silo Book. Ask us to pass you one, or a dozen — there are 41 free books in the library. If you ask for VOL. I you'll get full Hst of all. SOUTHEim OYPIEtt MHUFACTUREIIS' ftSSOCiATION 1230 HIBERNIA BANK BLDQ., NEW ORLEANS. LA.

The Florists' Review A Visitor to Our Place Last Sunday A grovfer of fame — one who wins prizes — complimente4 us highly on the quality of the roses we were grafting. Roses that are finished and out growing in 3>^-inch pots he pronounced as remarkable for so early. Last year, he told us, he was told because we were comparatively new in the grafting businees, that we did not know how, and that he had better pay more for stock at another place. He bought of us, though, and now says that our stock is quicker acting and superior to any he has ever had, becauee of our method of handling the Manetti before it is grafted. We are grafting all the new kinds, Ophelia. Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Geo. Elgar, Hadley, Prince d'Arenberg^ Shawyer and all of the older kinds. Why not investigate our quality and prices?

The Florists' Review A Visitor to Our Place Last Sunday A ffrower of fame— one who wins prizes — complimented us hisfhly on the quality of the roses we were graftinsf. Roses that are finished and out growing in 3 >^ -inch pots he pronounced as remarkable for 90 early. Last year, he told us, he was told because we were comparatiyely new in the grafting business, that we did not know how, and that he had better pay more for stock at another place. He bought of us, though, and now. says that our stock is quicker acting and superior to any he has ever had, because of our method of handling the Manetti before it is grafted. W* are Krafting all th* naw kinds, Ophelia, Russall, Hootiar Baawtjr, Gao. E^gar, Hadlay, Princa d'Aranbarg* Sliawyar and all of the elder kinda. Why not investigate our quality and prices?

And repeated trials have proved, beyond the shadow of doubt, that cooperative advertising is a splendid way to increase the sale of fiowers. What;~4hen, is thd most effective form of cooperative advertis infff This article contains the answer. I lEXT to Mothers' day, St. Valentine's day has put more money into the pock- eta of the trade than any- thing The Eeview ever has exploited. And 'Valen- tine 's is close . at hand again. Time to get busy. Just by way of refreshing memories it may be well to look back to Janu- ary 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 to the appropriateness of flowers for use as valentines." That was the real beginning of St. Valen- tine's as a special flower day. Perhaps that St. Val- entine's Number of The Reveiw fell short of its purpose to get 10,000 florists to advertise flowers for use as val- entines, but the results really were «urprisingly good. Hundreds took up the suggestions, with great success, and last year literally thousands lent their assistance. The way sales jumped is a matter of common knowledges* This year still greater numbers will prepare and advertise "For a Valentine, Send Her Flowers. ' ' After years of neglect, February 14, with the aid of a little publicity, quickly has become one of the im- portant days on the trade calendar. It has been demonstrated that, as The Review said when it first called at- tention to the undevel- oped opportunity, * * all the public needs is the suggestion to send flow- ers."

A Page for Each. The last St. Valentine's page printed in the Ohio State Journal for the Co- lumbus florists is reproduced with this article.

The large design attracted the attention — then a person could select the name that appealed to him, or the one that was nearest, or one that Ire knew, and the effect on that particular reader was that HIS florist had bought a full page ad.

JANUAnv 21, 1915. The Florists^ Review 13 now offered so cheaply that it does not pay to grow old bulbs which are not strictly first-class. Your treatment has been all right and, with a change of stock, your spathes should come perfect. Do not overlook the Godfrey calla. It blooms far more freely than the old calla and is purer in color. C. W. CHBTSANTHEMUM RICHMOND. Readers of The Eeview learned from the issue of January 14 of the good record in England of a new E, G. Hill CJo. chrysanthemum, named Richmond. With it Thomas Stevenson secured the first-class certificate of the National Chrysanthemum Society and the award of merit of the Royal Horticultural So- ciety. This variety was raised by the E. G. Hill Co., in Richmond, Ind., and stock of it was sent, with other seed- lings, to Thomas Stevensqn for testing. This chrysanthemum, as well as a number of other good results from the same cross, was, unfortunately, too early for the national show at Indian- apolis, but it will probably be seen at the shows next autumn. Two blooms of Richmond are shown in the accom- panying illustration; the one at the left was developed from the first bud, and the one at the right_from the late bud, which, says E. G. Hill, is the best\to take on this variety. The color is de- scribed as a glowing orange. The com- mercial possibilities of the variety were recognized by Lowe & Shawyer, Ux- bridge, England, into whose hands the variety passes so far as Europe is con- cerned. BUI.B BREAD NdT NUTRITIOUS. The State Department has published a report from Consul D. I. Murphy, at Amsterdam, Netherlands, denying the report in America of the food value of bulbs, the story having been told 6f a nutritious bread made in Holland from a mixture of wheat flour and Dutch bulbs. The consul says: "There we"tt the rounds of the Amer- ican papers a short time ago a story which told of the excellent and nutri- tious bread made in Holland from a mixture of wheat flour and Dutch bulbs. Had the story been true, the famous bulb fields in this consular district, which f^tract thousands of tourists every spring, might be utilized to fur- nish food supplies in an emergency. *'A recent report of the government chemist, however, leaves but a grain of truth in the story. It is true that a baker in Valkenburg during the time of flour shortage did make a kind of. bread from a mixture of two-thirds wheat flour and one-third powdered tulip or crocus bulbs. The chemist after careful analysis and thorough in- vestigation has reported that in bread 80 made the nutritive properties of the wheat are lessened by the admixture of the powdered bulbs. The percentage of Albumen is likewise diminished and re- placed by carbohydrates, the consis- tency of the bread being abnormal, while its taste and flavor are anything but pleasant. "The chief objection to the use of tulip bulbs, however, lies in the fact that they may readily be mistaken for narcissus bulbs, which are entirely unfit for human consumption. "The chemist, while noting the same :general objections to both tulip and crocus bulbs, poi^ts out that while the latter are not positively shown to be %M-m' ■' ^'f; **,'■ «>.'"'^ ry^'^ ■« • ../ ^ v^'«- V 1 1 Chrytaathemum Richmond, Grown by E. G. Hill G>., Exhibited in England by Stevenson. harmful, there is reason to believe that their continued use as food would not be wise. "Analyses were also made of bread made of two-thirds wheat flour and one-third raw potatoes, which was largely used in certain sections of Hol- l{(nd a short time ago. The same diminishing percentage of albumen noted in the wheat and bulb bread was apparent, while there was an appear- ance as though an excessive quantity of yeast had been used." P. THE TWO ENDS OF THE WIRE. A great deal depends upon who is at the other end of the wire. If some- body rings up artd somebody's girl an- swers, somebody is pleased, but if some- Ikody's girl's maiden aunt answers, somebody rings off as promptly as he politely can. To the man who has stock to sell, who is at the other end of the wire is especially important, and upon it depends his opinion as to the service of that particular wire. Now, if at one end of the wire you found there was this: "We depend to a great extent on The Review for the running of our business, as we buy lots of stock through your Classified Ads." — Poat Bros., Richmond, Va., January 15, 1915. and at the other end of the wire you found there was this: "Find enclosed 60 cents In stamps to pay for advertising. The Classified Ad did the business. It cleaned us up, and we could have sold more, had we had them."— Miller & Stroh, Alden N. Y., January 16, 1915. and this: "Please do not publish my lettuce ad until the first of February. My large stock is all sold out, thanks to the Florists' Review." — C. A. Anderson Greenhouse Co., Tionesta, Pa., January 16, 1915. don't you think that is the wire you want to usef BEGONIA CHRISTMAS RED. Is there a variety of begonia called Christmas Red, and is it a winter bloomer? What is the nature of the plants? When should they be started and do they come from seed or cut- tings? . Also, please state where I can obtain the plants for starting, as I have not noticed any advertisements of them. ^ w. C. K. The begonia of this name was intro- duced, I believe, by W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J. It is a fibrous- rooted variety, similar to Vernon and Erfordii, and should be easily propa- gsited from cuttings. Not having grown this variety and only having seen it exhibited on one occasion, I cannot speak as to its value as either a bed- ding or a pot plant. If you will con- sult the Classified Department in recent issues of The Review, under the head of Begonias, you will find some adver- tisements of Christmas Red. C. W. SEEDLING ANTIRRHINUMS. I have 400 snapdragons grown from seeds which were planted about Novem- ber 10. Some of the seedlings are two iuclIeS high. Will these be better for bedding plants or for* cut flowers? If I grow them for cut flowers, when should I bench them, or can I put them outdoors? F. A. D. The antirrhinums were started too early to be used as bedding plants. Seed sown in February will make plants of ample size for that purpose. Pot your seedlings off singly into 3-inch pots. Bench them before they get too much matted with roots, allowing 8x10 inches, or 10x10 if you can spare the room. They do better in somewhat shallow benches, containing five inches of soil, than in a greater depth. C. W. CHEESECLOTH FOR SHADINa. Will the best grade of cheesecloth be ali right to protect outdoor sweet peas from the hot sun? E. C. Yes, the best grade of cheesecloth makes an excellent shade for sweet peas. It is particularly necessary for the scarlet, crimson and orahlge-pink -varieties. C. W. 14 The Florists^ Review January 21, 1015. MOBE CABNATION OUT FIOUEES. When record carnation cuts are under discussion, the Iowa Seed Co., of Des Moines, la., has figures for considera- tion. From September 1, 1914, to Jan- uary 8, 1915, Grower William Dayson out a grand total of 50,000 blooms, in- cluding a Christmas crop of 11,400 blooms, from 1,500 benched plants. This, so far as the company is concerned, es- tiiblished a new record. In roses, likewise, a new record was established. From 1,500 4-year-old plants of Killarney and White Killar- iiey and 500 plants of Richmond were cut, during the same period, a total of 32,125 blooms. The total cut from 500 Beauties was 4,503. It is the opinion of the company that these figures will stand for some time. HINTS FOR THE PROPAGATOR. Selection of Cuttings. Since my recent article appeared, you have probably begun active operations in propagating. The work shoald be pushed along as rapidly as possible now, as conditions will be more favor- able during the next six weeks than later on, when the sun is stronger and the weather more variable. There is, perhaps, nothing more im- portant than selecting the cuttings, be- cause next year's success depends so largely on this. Not only should no cutting be taken from any but a healthy plant, but a fine discrimina- tion should be exercised between the strong and the weak shoots. Unless this is done, many cuttings which can- not possibly grow into first-class plants will get into the sand. Especially is this true if the cuttings are all taken from the side of the flower stems, which method is practiced on many places where only cut blooms are mar- keted. There is, perhaps, no better cutting to be had than those taken from the lower part of the stem, but there is the danger of reaching up just a joint or two too high and getting cuttings which are not fit. Preparing the Cuttings. In preparing the cuttings for the sand, have a pail of water to throw them in as they are made. Be sure to make a clean cut at the base; then take off as much of the foliage as you fan without leaving a bruised surface. This will usually give one joint of clear stem to be inserted in the sand. We do not leave any heels on the cut- tings, because we find that when the iieel is hard, the cutting will take longer to root and sometimes will be unable to draw moisture properly. There is no advantage in leaving the heel on, the advantage in the heel catting being in the fact that the joints are closer together than on the blooming shoot and a bushier plant will result as a rule. Try to get cuttings as nearly uni- form in size as possible, in order to get an even lot of plants. It is not necessary that the cuttings be of large size, but it stands to reason that a large cutting will progress more rap- idly than a small one. With a fair start, any medium-sized cutting will produce a strong plant by benching time, if properly cared for. Avoiding Disease. We usually say that cuttings should be taken only from healthy plants, but this term must be qualified somewhat in actual practice. If any of us con- fined ourselves strictly to taking cut- tings from plants that are in abso- lutely perfect health, I fear it would be difficult to secure enough cuttings to plant our own benches, to say nothing of selling cuttings. We have never yet seen the place to which this does not apply. There are, however, sev- eral diseases which should be espe- cially guarded against in selecting the cuttings, as they will carry in the stock from one season to the next. Perhaps the most dangerous one of these is the almost everpresent (among certain varieties at least) stigmonose, or yellows, as it is more recently called. This disease seems most preva- lent among the Enchantress varieties .lust at present, but all the heavy- growing kinds seem more susceptible to it than the wiry growing varieties. Another disease is that common! known as branch rot. Cuttings taken from a plant that has lost a branch in this way will usually show the dis- ease the next season. Certain vari- eties are more susceptible to this dis- ease than others, but I have not been able to see that any special type of growth is more susceptible than an- other. Such diseases as rust, leaf -spot, etc., are subject entirely to cultural conditions and any growth that is suffi- ciently far removed from the spores or germs as not to be affected when removed from the plant might make a desirable cutting. But it is desirable to give all these diseases as wide a berth as possible. The Tendency to Split. Another thipg that is usually lost sight of while taking cuttings is the plant that has developed a habit of splitting the calyx on all ' its blooms. While splitting is usually attributed to faulty cultural conditions, there is no question but that a natural tendency to split the calyx may be aggravated by taking cuttings from plants which produce an undue percentage of splits. Granting this, it is only reasonable to suppose that splitting may be dimin- ished by taking cuttings only from plants which show a lesser tendency to split. A good example is the variety Enchantress Supreme, which splits practically none of its calyxes. Loss of vitality will show up first in an increase of the percentage of splits on a variety that normally splits some. OceasiWHially you will notice a plant that is apparently growing wild. The growth is exceptionally strong and the cuttings are more numerous than usual. Avoid these, else you will soon have stock that is fit only for making hay. Care in the Sand. Pack th.^ sand firmly before insert- ing the cuttings and give a thorough watering afterward. They will need a go^d watering daily until the roots be- gin to strike out, providing the drain- age is good. Keep the sun off them for a couple of weeks. By that time tuey will be drawing water nicely and little sun during the early morning and late afternoon will help to keep them plump. It may be increased . as the cuttings are able to stand it, until by the time they are rooted they may be getting the full sun. In the regula- tion of the water and the sun is where your good judgment will assert itself. A. F. J. Baur. ODEN LETTEn^^-" READED^. VALUE OF FORETHOUGHT. ' I notice on page 26 of the issue for December 24 that a Mr. Albert had a considerable loss through the failure of his night man to keep up steam. How many times has The Review warned the greenhouse men on tb?S one particu- lar subject? A thermostat can be in- stalled so cheaply that there is no ex- cuse for a happening of this sort. Now, why am I taking the trouble to write this letter? For the simple reason that I do not wish to see some other poor devil like myself going down and out through want of thought, carelessness, or whatever you may wish to call it. December 4, 1913, during the great snow storm in Colorado, three of my six houses were wrecked, and why! Sim- ply for the reason that I did not have what every florist should have, sufficient 2x4 's with which to' support the roofs in an emergency of this kind. And here you have, gentlemen, an illustration of want of thought. Although carrying fire, hail, boiler and tornado insurance, wo were still remiss, and so I write these few words of warning to my brothers in the trade who for years may have been building up a compe- tence for their old age, which in a few moments, for the want of thought^ may be lost. When a loss of tjis kind comes, not one man in a ^ftousand can stand up under the blow, knowing, as he does, the great length of time re- quired and lacking the vim of youth to put him back to where he was. This thought applies to all lines of the riTspT^r^'vJ^ "• '^5 ■ :•, :JANDABT 21, 1915. The Horists' Review 15 florists' business. Traveling, as I have been for the last nine months, never has the fact been brought home to me more forcibly that thought never was more greatly needed in the business we are engaged in than at the present time. Under no circumstances should a man travel the country at the pres- ent time looking for employment. Charles J. Davis. HEBE'S TO THE LADIES! Under the heading "The Box and the Bagging Needle," on page 39 of the December 17 issue of The Keview, I read how the man had to resort to a woman to help him out of the slow, an- noying process of tying flowers in boxes which he had followed for years, and she solved the problem instantly, and undoubtedly saved many a cuss word from issuing from his mouth in the fu- ture. The same process was followed by the men in my employ until I took charge of the houses myself, ten years ago, when, seeing the struggle my assist- ant was having in using the knife and string method, I instantly sent for a large needle and have had no difficulty since. My husband thought he had dis- covered a better tool in the form of a stmight affair with a handle and an eye, but that had to be unthreaded and threaded again each time it went through the box, and it Was used but little. This is but one instance where men have struggled for years with a problem that a woman could solve at a glance. I have tried the several carnation menders, with much ftxpense and no suc- cess, and continue to use my own "in- vention," which is no expense to speak of, and the job is far more satisfactory to myself and consumes less time — for me — than any I have tried. I have no "patent pending" for the use of the mender. M. E. G. Ventres. STABT THE BALL BOLLINO. Ealph M. Ward's "Gum and Flow- ers," in tho December 24 issue of The Keview, opens the door to what ought to be an interesting and necessary agi- tation. Even if we make the sum $20,000 as a start for publicity, it will pay everyone; $200,000 would pay still bet- ter. The best way to apportion it would be to make a rate on the glass area, with a minimum of a certain amount. The influence of the Cleveland and Columbus florists' adveitisements help us here in Canal Dover. People who read the city pap«rs largely are in- fluenced by these advertisements, so that when our advertisements are read by them, they have greater results through the cumulative influence. We must consider this outlay as an investment, not as an expense. It seems to me that the S. A. F. is hardly awake to the greatest interest of the greatest number of our calling. We must be more aggressively pro- gressive; we must have more boomers who understand thoroughly what "brass tacks'' are. Mr. Ward is right; let us all help boom flowers. Let us got a start now. At least, such is the view of C. Betscher. W. C. Whelchel and a Load from his Irrigated Gardens. Vegetable Forcing FBOM. UNCLE JOE'S TOWN. A load of produce from the Pleasant View Greenhouses & Gardens, at Dan- ville, 111., which is shown in the illus- tration on this page, furnishes to the observer reason for the fact that the season of 1914 has been a fine one for W. C. Whelchel as well as for his fel- low-townsman, "Uncle Joe" Cannon. The automobile has literally displaced the horse in this particular case, giving an increase in power and capacity. This method, although not a usual one among truck growers, Mr. Whelchel finds most convenient for putting the produce from his irrigated gardens on the market. DISEASED LETTUCE. We are enclosing herewith a lettuce plant that is badly affected with some disease which has a dwarfing effect upon the plant. The soil is light and rich. We are planning to grow toma- toes in the soil after the lettuce. Will the same disease affect the tomatoes? How shall we rid the soil of this dis- ease? Formaldehyde has been recom- mended as a sterilizer, in the propor- tion of 1 to 2,000. Would you advise us to treat the soil with- this before planting to tomatoes? If it is not necessary, we do not wish to go to the expense. S. F. Hagerstown, Md. — William Coss, Star- town, is erecting a greenhouse 20x40 feet, which wiir be completed shortly. He has two houses 20x50 feet. The specimen plant arrived much shriveled. Without knowing more about your culture, temperature, soil, etc., it is difficult to say what has caused the plants to be so starved and stunted. Lettuce wants loose, light, but rich soil. It dislikes clay, but likes plenty of sand. The soil, if in solid beds, should be eighteen to twfn- ty-four inches deep. It should never bake, but should hold moisture so well that one good watering will finish a crop, supplemented by a few light sprin- klings. The surface soil should be al- ways loose, and even if it appears dry there may be ample moisture beloW. Be sure your night temperature does not run too high; 45 to 48 degrees is ample, with a rise of 10 degrees on dull days and 15 to 20 degrees on clear days. Lettuce needs a rich soil. After each crop is cleared, give a dressing four inches thick, of horse manure. This need not be completely rotten. In six or eight weeks this food, when well worked in, will be completely used up. I doubt whether formaldehyde will cure any soil affection. A good freez- ing would do more good, but the only real cure for fungoid affections is steam sterilization. I do not think that the fungi or bacteria which may bo harming your lettuce will be likely to have any adverse effect on the toma- toes. C. W. TOO HOT FOB BADISHES. Enclosed you will find a radish leaf affected by some disease which is un- known to me and to all the growers whom I have asked about it. The radishes have been grown in a tempera- ture of about 70 to 75 degrees and are kept on the dry side as much as pos- sible. I have been spraying them with Bordeaux mixture, but it does not check the disease at all. Please let me know what this is and how to stop it. O. E. H. You are keeping your radishes much too warm. A nFght temperature of 45 to 50 degrees is ample, rising 10 degrees on dark days and 15 to 20 degrees on clear, sunny days. Heat will simply ruin them. They cannot be forced like cucumbers or tomatoes. A moderately heavy soil is best. If it is too reten- tive, add sand or some other gritty ma- terial to render it more porous. Never allow the plants to become dry, and then soak them, as it will cause many roots to crack. A solid bed is better than a raised bench for them. Always water with great care in winter. The real cause of your diseased foliage I cannot state, but it is probably due to having the plants in an atmosphere too hot, stuffy and moist, C. W. Montreal, Que. — Business is good in Canada; everyone heard from had a satisfactory holiday trade. In Ottawa, as in Montreal, all blooming plants were sold out; cut flowers did not move so well. 16 The Rorists' Review Janoabt 21, 1916. 3C » ac ac ac I SEASONABLE ^ i ^ ^ SUGGESTIONS \ Bambler Boses. While it is a trifle early to start rambler roses for Easter, it is well to ^et the plants pruned, tied down and ^ ready. Where a temperature of 60 de- ^ees at night is not available, it is as well to start the plants at once. A temperature of 45 degrees at night is ample until they break. After that a ^adual rise of 10 to 15 degrees can be given. Spray the canes freely, to encourage strong breaks. In dark, cold weather, however, use caution in oyer- head spraying. The Baby Eambler type can easily be had in flower some time before Easter by starting now. Such varieties as Baby Tausendschon, Erna Teschendorflf, Mrs. Cutbush and White Baby are all good. Of the true ramblers, Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay, American Pillar, Crimson Eambler, which is less in favor now since the ad- vent of so many fine pink sorts, and Tausendschon, are all first-class. The last named is probably the most popu- lar of all and can be flowered in a lit- tle less time than the others named. Amaryllis. Amaryllis plants which have been resting since early in October will now have dropped most of their foliage and will in many cases be showing flower spikes. Such plants should have the drainage examined. If the soil is poor a repotting can be given, but usually if the surface soil is removed and a good top-dressing is given they will «'arry through another season, provided, of course, that they receive some liquid stimulants through the growing season. Do not worry if the plants do not lose all their leaves. I do not approve of severe drying oflf for amaryllis and would just as soon see some green foliage at starting time. Seedlings which have not yet flowered should be kept growing continuously until they flower. Give amaryllis which are be- ing started a temperature of 55 degrees at night. Buddleia Asiatica. From the number of inquiries received through The Review, quite a few grow- ers appear to be interested in the new Chinese plant, Buddleia Asiatica. That it will become popular is certain, for critical buyers are charmed with it. Anyone having any stock plants should cut them back somewhat when they are through flowering. A crop of succu- lent cuttings will soon appear. These will root in three weeks in a warm cutting bench. Pot these off and give them a warm house until they are es- tablished; later a temperature of 50 degrees at night will suffice. They can be moved into coldframes in April. Keep potted along and flower in 8-inch pots or pans. Plunge the pots to the brim in an old hotbed, keep well wa- tered and fed, pinch the shoots until. 'August find y'ou will have fine, bushy plants for Christmas trade. The plants must be housed early in October and given a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at night to be in full bloom for the holidays. Cuttings taken from young stock can be rooted up until the end of May and these will make useful stock in 5-inch or 6-inch pots, which will flower freely. -^ While this plant has been given the name of winter lilac, this is a good deal of a misnomer. The flowers in no way resemble lilacs, but are more suggestive of the racemes of the veronicas or lysimachias. The delight- ful perfume is distinct from that of the lilac and there is no resemblance in the two plants. Purchase Seeds Now. A number of seed catalogues are new to hand. Owing to the war, nor- mal supplies of some varieties are un- likely and florists should place their orders early to avoid disappointment. Dealers^ appreciate these early orders; they help to lessen the strain when the really strenuous seed season ar- rives. Each> florist knows, or should know, what seeds he will need. There- fore, get your order in as soon as possi- ble. Do not buy cheap seeds, cheap mixtures or any colors which are not salable; the best seeds are always the cheapest in the end. Seed Sowing. Some seeds require early sowing, and during midwinter the germination of many small seeds is much better than it is later in the season. Where strong plants of Primula Sinensis or P. ob- conica are wanted for next Christmas, sow the seeds now. Use scarlet or other bright colors; whites are not wanted at that time, but will sell later in the season. Gloxinias, tuberous- rooted begonias, fibrous-rooted be- gonias, grevilleas, Aralia Sieboldii, pe- tunias, verbenas, shamrocks, Vinea rosea, snapdragons for spring planting, stocks for bench culture. Aster Queen of the Earlies, Dracaena indivisa and lobelias can all be sown now. If the soil in which they are to be sown is first sterilized to kill vermin, fungoid growths and weed seeds, it will be a great advantage. Soil for the seeds should be three-fourths leaf-mold and one-fourth loam, with sand added to make it porous. Make the surfaces of the pots, pans or flats smooth, and water with a fine rose before sowing fine seeds, later scattering a little fine sand over them. SHRAPiNrEr Coggeshall, England.— E. W. King & Co., well known all the international seed trade, have fourteen of their staff in the army in France and sent each man a Christmas hamper. Oostdunkerke, Belgium. — The green- houses of E. Draps-Boudry, one of the principal Belgian growers of American varieties of carnations, were destroyed by shrapnel shells December 14. Mr. Boudry is a refugee in England. Versailles, France. — Mme. Jean Moser, wife of the head of the nursery firm of Moser et Fils, died December 14, at the age of 62, at her home here. Her two sons, Rene and Marcel, were both at the front with the French army at the time. Paris, France. — Practically all the horticultural press in France suspended publication when the war broke out, but L'Horticole, the organ of the French nursery trade, has again ap- peared, reduced in size, but carrying details of the business and transporta- tion situation as they stood on the day of issue. Boskoop, Holland. — Just before sail- ing for America, January 6, Harry Koolbergen said: "As regards the war situation in Belgium I can not say much, as I have not been able to pass the borders since the war broke out. Some establishments are reported unharmed, while others, and this includes those of German proprietors, are said to have been ruined." London, England. — An observer says: "Of course there is a serious falling off in trade to be faced by all of us, but the position has improved week by week for the last month or two, until we are pleased to hear from some of the leading growers that prices for carnations and other flowers were nearly normal last week (Christmas). Though we cannot hear that any of our friends are making money just now, it is a great thing to be able to say that, with the inevitable disloca- tion of a gigantic war, we are still able to carry on, with the prospect of bet- ter times ahead." Aalsmeer, Holland. — This is a famous lilac forcing center, with several large exporters who find some of their mar- kets cut off this war year. It is re- ported D. J. Tas & Sons, J. Keessens & Son, D. & J. Keessens and Harmsen & Keesen have commissioned M. E. C. Alberden to make a trip to America for the purpose of reconnoitering the markets there and entering into busi- ness relations. Mr. Alberden took a. first consignment of forced lilac with hjm when he left Aalsmeer, and dur- ing the time he will stay in the United States further lots of forced flowers will be sent him. It is stated that it is quite possible to deliver cut flowers from Aalsmeer to the American mar- kets. The Holland-America Line must have sanguine expectations respecting the export of cut flowers to America, as the. company offered Mr. Alberden a free HVst-class voyage. Jandarx 21, IH^. The Florists^ Review 17 l^OTT-LY MUSINGS. Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa., re- ports an apparent shortage in rooted cut- tings of geraniums, judging by the orders he has been compelled to refuse, including some big ones from Canada. "While the percentage rooted is large, the recent severe weather affected the stock plants, resulting in a shrinkage of several thousands. Buchner, Nutt, Poitevine and Ricard are still leaders. Asparagus plumosus is grown in large numbers and is as popular as ever. The only carnations grown here are for trial purposes and occupy a low bed in part of a house. The varieties are Match- loss, which is fine; Gorgeous, a great keeper; Philadelphia, exceptionally heavy in bud, and with fine big blooms. As seen here, the last mentioned would be hard to beat. As evidence of con- tinued faith in the divine flower, a house 62x400 feet is being planned for it. H. D. Rohrer, Lancaster, has met- a Waterloo in black-root on the forget- me-not, which has hitherto been a grand thing with him. The beds are quite patchy. Careful study is being made to eradicate the disease. Carnation Enchantress is also giving out; it will be discarded. Their seedling. Scarlet Wonder, is a corker. The chrysanthe- mums were fine. In their place are sweet peas, with lettuce between the rows and parsley for a border. Prim- ula malacoides is grown in large num- bers. Shipped in paper pots, they carry well. They are in good demand for table decoration. B. F. Barr & Co., Lancaster, are hav- ing the same trouble' with their carna- tions, chiefly Enchantress and Match- less, as was mentioned in a previous note with reference to Mann & Brown, •Richmond, Va. In the case of Barr & Co., it is believed to be the effect of overfeeding or using unfermented manure. Gorgeous and Enchantress Su- preme as grown in other soil are fine — all one could, wish. Chas. F. Edgar has resigned his position as manager of the Barr store. He is undecided whether to accept one of several positions of- fered or to go into business here. Ernest Ashley, Allentown, Pa., in speaking of the excellent season's busi- ness, attributes considerable of it to the F. T. D., of which he is a member and which has enabled him to expand considerably. At the time of my visit Mrs. Ashley was making up some dainty During the early part of last week trade was unchanged, but January 15 and 16 the weather was warm and clear and business was brisk, taking on a "before the war" aspect. There has been a general shortening up of the supply and the wholesale houses were completely cleaned out. Fairly good prices are being realized, quite a con- trast to the conditions that have pre- vailed all through the present season. The best demand is for roses, but car- nations also are selling well. Valley and violets go slowly and Paper Whites and Romans also can be bought cheaply. Freesia and bulbous novelties are com- ing in and meeting a fairly good de- mand. There is a good call for greens. Various Notes. Miss Ella T. McCormick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormick, died at the home of her parents in Catonsville January 12, aft^r-a short illness. Fu- neral services were-^ld from St. Agnes church, Catonsville, January 15, with interment at Bonnie Brae cemetery. Charles Siegwart has a fine lot of cattleya plants in bloom, which he re- ceived this season and which are doing remarkably well for young stock. His new carnation, Mrs. Charles Siegwart, is affording good flowers, Andrew Anderson, of Govans, is send- ing some fine Radiance and Mrs. Russell roses to the Baltimore Cut Flower Co. Charles H. Cook was in the market January 16 with a fine lot of Primula obconica. The next meeting of the Florists' Club, January 25, will be ladies' night. R. Vincent, Jr., will lecture on Scotland and quite a bit of other talent has been secured to take up the balance of the evening. Refreshments will be served and, as an added attraction, F. C. Bauer, John Nuth and M. Thau will sing the famous German song, " Schnitzelbank. " Louis Strunz has a fine lot of Mme. Petrick azaleas in bloom. Lohr & Fritze are cutting some good Double White Killarney. Erdman & Ulrich have a fine lot of cyclamen plants in flower, which are easily disposed of. Samuel Feast & Sons have the plant decorations at the automobile show be- ing held at the Fifth Regiment armory this week. A house of Richmond roses at Beechfield is looking unusually well. C. E. Akehurst & Co., of White Marsh, are sending some good blooms of their new carnation, Mrs. C. E. Akehurst, to the Pennock-Meehan Co. J. J. Perry, manager of the local branch, says: "If the growers around this city would so arrange their cut flower crops, especially roses, as to cut a good crop between Janoary 21, 191S. The Florists' Review 19 January 15 and February 20, instead of trying to get a crop for Christmas, tbeir stock would be more easily dis- posed of and average better prices." Mr. Perry has been identified with the wholesale cut flower trade in this city for nearly fifteen years and is in a position to know the needs and condi- tions of the local market. W. F, E. BUFFALO. The Market. Somewhat mild weather for midwin- ter prevailed last week, making cue flowers more plentiful. Business, how- ever, was not stimulated by the pleas- ant weather, but lethargy was felt in a great many of the retail stores. Spring flowers are becoming more and more plentiful. Among these are daf- fodils, narcissi, mignonette, sweet peas, marguerites, Boman hyacinths and lilacs. Carnations are excellent and plentiful. Ward, Enchantress Supreme and Beacon are good sellers. Hadley roses are not so good as they have been, but Taft, Ward, Richmond and Bulgarie are much improved. Roses have been somewhat scarce and the prices remain firm. Beauties are ex- cellent. Harrisii lilies are scarce. There are a few good Formosa lilies to be had, as well as some good callas. There has been little f reesia as yet. Valley, gardenias and cattleyas are plentiful. Smilax, asparagus, adiantum and fancy ferns are good and the sup- ply is ample. Various IjTotes. The various committees are hustling to get ready for the convention of the American Carnation Society. The Lenox Flower Shop had a pretty window of Primula obconica and ex- ceptionally large cyclamens, which made a good display. H. Keitsch & Sons are growing some good single daffodils, which find a ready sale. ■• Barney Meyers, of Lancaster, is pro- ducing some excellent yellow tulips and daffodils in the Palmer greenhouses. Joseph Sangster is having a run on plants of all kinds, but business other- wise is rather quiet. Mrs. Rachael Rebstock Johnson, who was at Anderson's upper store during the holidays, has retired to the quiet, simple life at Williamsville. Mahoney Bros, are pushing business at the stand now. Walter Leney was on the sick list last week and was absent from work for a day or two. J. M. McLellan is at Anderson's Elmwood store. Stroh's Quality Flower Shop made a specialty of tango corsages and arm bouquets for the Shriners' ball, Janu- ary 11, and sold a considerable num- ber. Tango corsages are winning favor here. S. A. Anderson had a most unusual display last week. A massive gilt frame lined with a deep green velvet box held several French bouquets, Dres- den and French corsages made of val- loy, roses, orchids, etc. A strong light thrown upon the flowers made them seem wax-like, and brought out the daintiness and color against the green background. David Scott, of Corfu, N. Y., is grow- ing large quantities of Golden S^ur ^daffodils, which are first-class. Chas. Hock, grower for L. H. Neu- beck, has some wonderful cyclamens, whicii resemble orchids, as a result of cross fertilization. He is planning to do more scientific work later in cross fertilization, since his playful attempts have brought about such splendid suc- cess. . E. C. A. OBITUARY. Michael Sweeney. Michael Sweeney, for more than forty years a florist in Providence, R. L, and a former member of the com- mon council of that city, died at his home at Edgewood, R. I., January 17. He was one of the oldest and best known members of the profession in Rhode Island and, through his frequent attendance at conventions and flower shows and his genial disposition, had a wide acquaintance and hosts of friends throughout the state. He was always ready to assist others, and many a young man owes his early successes in the business that Mr. Sweeney loved so well to the aid and advice of the de- ceased. Mr. Sweeney was born in Leitrim, Ireland, June 3, 1844, but came to this country at an early age. He settled with relatives in Providence and in 1873 started in the florists* business for himself by erecting a small green- house on Broad street at the head of Pine street, where he has always re- .xaained. Located directly opposite the largest cemetery within the city limits, his business grew rapidly and his range of houses increased until he became one of the principal men in the business in that section. Always of a retiring disposition, al- though a prince of rollicking good hu- mor among his friends, Mr. Sweeney spent the greater part of his time at home, when not at his business. In 1888, however, he yielded to the per- suasion of his friends and was elected a member of the council from the Sixth ward, a position which he held for three years, retiring in 1891 at his own request. He was one of the earli- est members of the Florists' and Gar- deners' Club of Rhode Island and was its president for two years. At the time of the holding of the annual con- vention of the Society of American Florists in Providence in 1893, Mr. Sweeney was one of the hardest work- ers for the entertainment and welfare of the guests. A few years ago Mr. Sweeney moved to Edgewood, a residential suburb of Providence. He married Miss Mary Amelia Powers, to whom eight chil- dren were born. Of these, four daugh- ters survive, Mrs, William T. Murphy, Misses Katherine P., Mary I. and Nan- nie M. Sweeney. He also leaves two grandchildren. W. H, M. Louis S. Williams, Jr. Louis S. Williams, Jr., of New Bed- ford, Mass., died at his home, 175 Acushnet avenue, January 7, following an extended illness. He was 19 years of age. Shortly after graduating from grammar school, he entered the employ of Wm, P. Pierce, where he learned the florists' trade. Two years later he opened a store at 180 Acushnet avenue and built up a good business. He is survived by his father and mother and one brother. The funeral v/as held at the residence Monday morn- ing, January 11, at 8:30, followed by a high mass of requiem at St. John the Baptist church. Interment was in St. John's cemetery. ' Richard W. Allen. Richard W. Allen died January 10 at his residence on Green street, Hudson, N. Y., at the age of 70. For a week he had been confined to his residence by illness, but January 8, when fire was discovered in his greenhouses, he left his bed to help fight the blaze. He rushed into the greenhouse and was overcome by smoke. MainlyAb outPfeool Ottawa, Ont. — E. I.

New Orleans, La. — In response to a notice sent out the previous day, a number of florists conferred with the oflScers of the Association of Commerce January 11 in regard to the campaign for the city beautiful, and added greatly to its probable success by their enthu- siastic support.

YouELL, secretary, advises that the American Gladiolus Society will not fol- low the S. A. F. to San Francisco, but will hold its annual show at Newport, B. I., August 18 and 19, E. H. Mann is authority for the state- ment that next year the E. G. Hill Co. will drop Richmond and all other red roses save one. The reader is given one guess as to which red will be retained. Times haven't changed: there is just as good a call for long-stemmed roses as ever there was — probably better — but the production of long stock is much greater than it was a few years ago, which accounts for the change in the market. Curiously, the war first caused a rapid tise in prices but has by now resulted in falling markets in most lines. Im- ported goods nearly all are cheaper; so are domestic products of domestic use; almost the only commodities that are higher in price than they were August 1 are those that are exportable. The preliminary schedule for the ex- hibition of the American Sweet Pea So- ciety, to be held at Newport, R. I., in June, has been issued. Copies may be had by addressing the secretary, Harry I A.

We, with others, wish The Review would give a hint to advertisers in reference to acknowledging the receipt of an order and stating when it is likely to be shipped. It would relieve the uncertainty as to whether the or- der can be filled or not. Poat Bros. QXnCK ACTION. The purpose of this and similar no- tices is to show the trade how surplus stock can bo turned into cash. The special effort is to reach those who never have made use of the classified section of The Review to save a loss — to save a few dollars at the cost of a few cents. Like this: Please discontinue our little classified ad; the first mail cleaned us out, but orders are still coming. — Wm. Toole & Son, Baraboo, Wis., January 18, 1915. Please stop my classified ad of cuttings, as I am more than sold out as the result of the first insertion. — Herman W. Kropp, Columbus, O., January 16, 1015.

John Owens, of Gary, Ind., has been permanently enjoined from using the name G^ary Floral Co., or any other name substantially identical with this title, in conducting his store at Sixth avenue and Washington street. The suit was brought by A. T. Bus- hong, proprietor of the business on West Fifth avenue, conducted under the name of the Gary Floral Co. The complaint filed by Attorney R. B. Pat- ton for Mr. Bushong states that Bus- hong was formerly in partnership with Owens. The latter sold out to Bushong, who retained the store under the name of the Gary Floral Co. Later Owens incorporated under the same name and then, it is alleged, secretly secured a lease on the store room occupied'' by Bushong at Sixth avenue and Wash- ington street. Bushong moved to Fifth avenue, retaining the name of the Gary Floral Co. Owens attempted to re- open under the same name, but a tem- porary injunction was secured. Janu- ary 8 the temporary order was made permanent, the complaint being amended to forbid the use by Owens not only of the name Gary Floral Co., but any of a similar nature which would tend to mislead the patrons of Mr. Bushong. The building Mr. Bushong now oc- cupies is a modern one, 25x80, two stories and basement, and he has a ten- year lease. The location is desirable and across the street from a site upon which the new federal building will be erected, the contract having been let recently. It is his intention to build a garage and packing room 25x40 in the rear of the store, with a green- house on the second floor and a stair- way leading direct from the store to the greenhouse.

From a wholesale point of view the market is in much better condition than it was a week ago. Looking at it from the retail angle, the improvement is not so apparent, as the change seems to be due more to a reduction in sup- ply than to an increase in demand. There has, no doubt, been considerable increase in the number of out-of-town orders, as these always are more nu- merous when crops are light. City re- tail trade has not improved to any great degree, which leads to the belief that business is running along about the same with the out-of-town buyers, but that they are forced to send to Chicago for^ a larger part of their sup- plies than was the case earlier in the season. Prices naturally have ad- vanced. Comparing the last seven days with the same week in 1914 seems to indicate that the market as a whole is more nearly normal than it has been at any time in the last six months. Prices on roses are below those of last year, but the shortened supply still is considerably larger than a year ago. Beauties, on the other hand, are less plentiful than a year ago and are aver- aging better returns to • the growers. Carnation prices were falling rapidly a year ago, whereas they hajv© bdi^n on the up-grade during the last week, but they are not yet up to where they were at this date in 1914. Most of the wholesale houses have enjoyed a con- V JANDABY 21. 1915.

While there has been a sharp reduc- tion in the aggregate quantity of stock coming to marnet, there still are enough flowers to go around. The possible ex- *■ ception is short roses. At this time ot year no large percentage of the cut is ■■ Bhort. At the same time, to an unusual decree the demand is for stock tor work The result is that short roses always sell at this time of year at what seems to be above their real value ■ as compared to the price of fancy long stock. The buyer who goes out late in the day to find 500 short roses at 4 cents will have more trouble than the one who wants 500 long roses at 8 ( cents. In the first case, a buyer will find the market bare, while in the sec- : ond case he will find many an icebox with stock likely to be earned over to the next day. KiUarney is unusually good for this season of the year and KiUarney Brilliant leaves little to be desired. Cattleyas continue to be among the most plfentiful of items and valley is pressing for a sale. Stevia, which has been in heavy supply all season, is ap- proaching the end; some growers have stopped shipping. There has been a considerable increase in the receipts of bulbous stock. Easter lilies are less plentiful, but there are many times last week's supply of tulips and jon- ; quils also are more abundant, with the tesult that the price has dropped per- haps twenty per cent.

Paper Whites continue in large supply. There are all the violets the market can use. A great deal of the stock is of excellent quality and there is no complaint save of lack of demand. Sweet peas are coming in more plen- tifully, but not enough so to have much effect on the sale of violets. Some of the Spencer peas are so fine that it is no wonder the public buys them in preference to other flowers. Business continues erratic; one day will bring a rush while the next may see almost complete stagnation. On the average, results are better than they have been and there is a much better feeling in the market. Various Notes.

Shipments via Antwerp sometimes have reached Chicago in twenty days, but this year none got in under a month, and many were six weeks in the cases.

Fun«ral work has been quite heavy and there has been some decorating done. Stock is good and plentiful in nearly e^ery line. Beauties have been more plenti- ful, and the demand has increased since the price came down. Other roses are fine, and the demand has about cleaned them up at all times. Carnations are coming in heavily, but there are a good many splits. Paper Whites are abundant, but most of them are used up in one way or an- other; the same is true pf Romans.

J. M. PHUiAOELPHIA. The Market. Demand and supply are more evenly balanced now than they have been for a fortnight or more. It has been possi- ble to dispose of the heavy receipts of carnations, violets and daffodils at mod- erate prices. Perhaps it would be fairer to say that the prices have been ex- tremely moderate for the season. There is a tendency toward better things, al- though this is more noticeable in the average price than in any special ad- vance. Roses are quite scarce. The demand is largejy f^^ the shorts, with a moderate call for'tne highest grades. Orchids are in rather bad shape despite the disappearance for the time being of the mixed varieties, leaving only cat- tleyas, of which there are too many, and cypripediums. Gardenias have suf- fered also, but valley shows decided improvement. Sweet peas are selling better, the Spencers especially so. The price has moderated, Callas are in de- mand. Snapdragon is quite scarce. Easter lilies are too plentiful, requiring low prices to dispose of them. Golden Spur daffodils have arrived. There is a good supply of freesia. Paper Whites continue plentiful and cheap. White lilac is abundant with the specialist. Yellow daisies and pansies are moder- ately plentiful. Beauties show a tend- ency to advance under lighter receipts, Russell also has fallen off in numbers, as have Richmond and Ward, With some growers the Killarneys are coming into crop again, although they are not BERGERBROS.

"Have you looked carefully over our new catalogue just issued?" The ques- tion was asked by Henry F. Michell, as he turned with a bright smile of greeting in his commodious store the other morning. Stepping to the counter opposite, Mr. Michell drew a copy from its wrapper, glamed at the handsome ':over page and lightly turned the pages. Doing so displayed in rapid succession the history of his seed house since 1890. There were the pictures of the founder, looking as alert- as then; of the two stores, from start to present, the im- provement apparent at a glance; the men who have helped to make the place what it is, their assistants, their sur- roundings, the trial grounds at Anda- lusia, and all that to it pertains. The view in panorama recalls the young Januabx 21, 1915.

Mention Tb« Review when yon write. man of twenty-five years ago who had been selected for his seventeen years of faithful service with the leading seed house of the day to take up the business cares of an estimable seeds- man who had retired discouraged. How he did this, with many difiiculties and obstacles to overcome, but with the aid of loyal friends and assistants, is a matter of history that is pleasant to remember. Michell's had a poultry show in the store last week with over 1,000 entries. Twenty silver cups were among the prizes awarded. A Private Ball. The elevator in the Bellevue-Strat- ford runs so smoothly that it is the wink of an eye from the street level to the roof garden many stories above. There, on the night of January 18, was a beautiful scene that should be an inspiration to all of us. The roof gar- den was arranged with the utmost care for a ball, a ball for which no expense consistent with good taste had been spared. The center of the room was devoted to the reception semicircle, as it were, beautifully embowered with graceful green. To the right of the hostess a lovely garden scene stretched through two rooms; opposite, the music; to the left, the dancing floor; beyond. the supper room. The garden was one of the most beautiful that has ever graced the Bellevue-Stratford, every de- tail perfectly worked out with elabo- rate care: the approach by grassy paths of mat, the borders of blooming plants and palms, the boundaries of vine-clad treUis were all perfect in form and color and combination. The farther end of the garden was occupied by a summer house approached by a couple of steps. Facing the summer house was a foun- tain, the triumph of the decorator's art. No water main, no concealed pipes sup- plied that limpid pool of water; the basin, once filled, suflBced save for evaporation. A concealed motor sup- plied the power that sent the water up- ward; gravity did the rest. Electricity colored the falling waters like the rain- bow, while in the pool water lilies glowed forth in green, then scarlet, then orange and back again to green, to the wonder of all beholders. To return to practical details, cork bark and ferns finished the outside of the pool. A home-made trellis of birch bark was in keeping with the surround- ings. A magnificent Cibotium Schiedei was given a place of honor. I should like to quote John P. Haber- mehl's words when he so kindly ex- plained his firm's beautiful decoration: "We are glad to show this to any flo- rist because we believe that we should all help each other to advance our call- ing to the rank of a profession. To decorate is not merely to stand a few plants around, but to form an original plan that is in keeping with the sur- roundings and to carry it out with ex- actitude in every detail." The supper tables, some fifty in all, were brightened with pink rose buds. Various Notes.

MONTANA BOSTON. The Market. After passing through a trying week, with low prices, it was comforting in the extreme to have a decidedly bet- ter day January 16, and January 18 started a new week rather promisingly. There are strong hopes that the Janu- ary slump is Hearing its end and that conditions will become more nearly nor- mal. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished, for business has been de- cidedly discouraging of late for grow- ers and salesmen. Roses, after a hard week, are doing somewhat better, but with some decline ill values. .lannary 1(5 saw a really good clean-up and January 18 also proved to be a good day. The same varieties which have proved their pop- ularity, such as Ophelia, Russell, Had- ley, Killarney Queen and Sunburst, are still in best call. Sunburst, from its superior size, will in large measure dis- place Ward another year. Carnations sold at low prices nearly all of last week; violets also had a weak market; in fact, nothing sold well with the ex- ception of yellow marguerites, English primroses. Trumpet daffodils and one or two flowers which were only procurable in small lots. Sweet peas are good. So far daffo- dils have sold satisfactorily. Guern- sey Golden Spurs are good. Among tulips, a nice lot of Thomas Moore is now appearing. There is an abundance of fine lilies and callas are in good supply. Much inferior vaflley comes in. ML CLEMENS. MICH.

Mr. Pembroke's other leading varieties and he is sure to be well to the front at Buffalo. Harry Quint says that business at his Tremont street store is keeping up re- markably well. He showed the writer the lease for a new store on Boylston street, right in the Back Bay district, which will soon be opened. Edward Winkler is growing 8,000 of his new light pink carnation, Morning Glow. It is in great demand and nets him more to the square foot than any other sort he has grown. He expects to send a vase to the Buffalo conven- tion. W. S. Phelps, of Lexington, is in the market with an excellent lot of pink and white snapdragons. Phelps' White is admittedly the best of its color on the market today. At Penn's a special violet window has been quite an attraction the last few days. An enormous number of violets are sold daily. Cyclamens in baskets are another pleasing feature. I noted some well flowered Epiphyllum truncatum. Business continues excel- lent. William T. Walke, of Salem, through J. M, Cohen, is disposing of a fine lot of Freesia Purity in pots, beautifully grown plants. W. D. Howard, of Milford, is having excellent success with Matchless, Gor- geous and Mrs. Ward carnations. The salmon sport from Winsor takes well. Other favorites are Benora, Pink De- light, White Wonder and Beacon. At H, R. Comley's January 16 I noted, among other plants, Buddleia Asiatica, prunus, epiphyllums and the first Dimorphotheca aurantiaca of the season. Everett E. Cummings, of Woburn, is just finishing cutting his winter sweet pea crop, which started flowering late in October. His single violets are do- ing satisfactorily. Some of the leading shippers of cal- las at present are J. E. Long, of Hol- liston; C. Tj. Pierce and Frank T. White, of Holbrook.

The Houghton-Gorney Co., on Tre- mont street, continues to do a good busi ness. I noted some nice camellias here, also epiphyllums well bloomed. Old- fashioned bouquets make a display in the windows. W. N. C. Mayor Curley has appointed John J. Cassidy, one of the officers of the W. E. Doyle Co., at 6 Beacon street, a sink- ing fund commissioner, to succeed John W. O'Mealey. Mr. Cassidy is the ex- alted ruler of the Boston lodge of Elks. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Trade has been fair. Stock is plen- tiful, with just about enough funeral work to clean things up. Roses have been popular of late and are finding a good demand. Sunburst, Ophelia, Had- ley, Russell and Richmond meet with the best sale. Beauties are shortening in supply and the quality is not good. Carnations are more than enough to go around and bring from $1.50 to $3 per hundred. Sweet peas are offered in goodly quantities and are finding a ready market. There are Paper Whites enough for everybody. Home-grown or- chids are scarce, as are Easter and calla lilies. Freesias, daisies and snap- dragons are part of the daily offerings. State Association Meeting. The annual meeting of the State Flo- rists' Association was held at the Clay- pool hotel January 12, with about fifty members present. W. J. Vesey, Jr., of Ft.

Conner, of Wabash, was named for second vice-president over Theo. Dorner, of Lafayette. Oliver Stein- kamp and Homer Wiegand were re- elected as secretary and treasurer with- out opposition. Clarence Thomas, with the Hill Floral Co., was elected to membership. It was decided to hold the February meeting with F. Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette. It was voted to extend an invitation to the Ameri- . can Carnation Society to meet in In- dianapolis in 1916. A committee com- posed of John Hartje, Charles Pahud and J. D. Conner was appointed to revise the state fair premium list. The Indiana rose trophy was awarded to Frank Bros., of Portland, who showed a beautiful vase of Killarney, White Killarney and Shawyer. The F. G. Hill Co. and W. J. & M. S. Vesey also showed well-grown stock in this class. The carnation trophy was awarded to Baur & Steinkamp, who showed Philadelphia, Enchantress Su- preme, White Wonder, St. Nicholas, Po- cahontas and Gloriosa. W. J. & M. S. Vesey, the E. G. Hill Co. and Stuart & Haugh also entered in this class. The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, sent a vase of the new carnation, Mrs. Akehurst, which showed well. A vase of the new carnation, Cerise Winsor, was shown by E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111. Ber- tcrmann Bros. Co., showed some well- grown cyclamens, Boston ferns and Adiantum Farleyense. Baur & Stein- kamp had a vase of a new shrub, Bud- dleia Asiatica, which created quite a little comment. F. Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette, displayed a vase of Hoosier Beauty, which looked better than ever; also a vase of mixed seedling carna- tions, one of Good Cheer, one of Cham- pion and one of Pink Sensation, which was unusually fine. Light pink seed- ling No. 271 received honorable men- tion. F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., sent a beautiful vase of the new deep red rose, Frances Scott Key. Pe- ter dinger, of New Castle, had a vase of a new red seedling carnation that looked good. A vase of a deep rose pink seedling carnation and one of President Valentine were sent by R. Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati. A fine lot of carnations came from the J. D. Thompsoni' Carnation Co., Joliet, HI., but they arrived too late to be judged. LOUISVniE, KY. THE F.

Especially was this true of roses and carnations. Carnations ranged from $8 to $15 in thousand lots and roses from $2 to $8 per hundred. The mild weather brought out a big crop. A noticeable feature was the increas- ing supply of. sweet peas. In another week, if the mild weather continues, we shall have heavy consignments of these. Violets are also in greater sup- ply of late. Lilies, Paper Whites, Ro- mans and jonquils are in good supply at all the wholesale markets. Short asparagus in bunches is in demand, with a small supply. Good smilax is plentiful, as also are ferns. According to the society columns in the daily press, several large functions are scheduled before Lent, which will undoubtedly help trade greatly. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held its usual meeting January 14, in Odd Fellows' hall, with a good attendance. W. C. Smith reported for the spring flower show, stating that the local, florists show little interest in a spring show, and asked for the discharge of this committee. The request was granted, with a vote of thanks for the work done. W. A. Eowe, chairman of the trustees, who have the club's dance and entertainment in charge, reported that all arrangements for this event are progressing. They expect the af- fair to be a great success, as tickets have been selling at a lively rate. The application of Julius Erdmann for membership was reported favorably by the committee and his election fol- lowed. The club voted to invite the Ameri- can Carnation Society to hold its 1916 meeting at St. Louis and to send a member to Buffalo to extend the invi- tation. Should the invitatian be ac- cepted by the society, the club wiU be assisted in entertaining it by the St. Louis Coaivention and Publioitjr Bu- reau. . $. C. Irish reported on Xhe proapect CHAS.

SAN rRANCISCO for a state appropriation to be used for advancing floriculture in the state. This report was followed by an inter- esting talk by J. F. Ammann, on how the Illinois State Florists' Association was formed. A good discussion fol- lowed. It was decided that the secre- tary write to the Kansas City Florists' Club and ask its views on forming a Missouri State Florists' Association. There will be a discussion on this for the next meeting. The chair appointed Messrs. Fillmore, Young and Guy to pass on the roses ou exhibition. There were Hoosier Beauty, from the E. G. Hill Co., which, the committee said, "is an improvement on any red rose yet in commerce," and Ophelia, from the J. F. Ammann Co., which was extended a vote of thanks for the fine blooms. The question box created some in- teresting discussions. The next meeting will take place Thursday afternoon, February 11. Various Notes. A. J. Bentzen is counted among the bowling fans each week. When the Bentzen team bowls at the Washing- ton alleys. Papa Bentzen keeps the score and continually roots for his team. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, spent a few days here last week. They attended the Bertig- PoUack wedding at the Planters' ho- tel. This is Mr. Bayersdorfer 's first visit to this city since 1897. Before that time he was a regular visitor, so this time he made the rounds to renew old acquaintances. He found many of them still doing business at the old stands. Mr. Bayersdorfer also attended the Florists ' Club 's meeting January 14. The vase of Hoosier Beauty roses exhibited at the club meeting by the E. G. Hill Co. were sent to Mrs. H. G. Berning, who has been confined to her home by sickness for a year. They gave her much enjoyment. The suburban florists who were in town January 14 were E. W. Guy, W. E. Ogle, J. F. Ammann, Ed. Denker, J. Connon, W. J. Edwards, W. J. Pilcher, Frank Vennemann, W. E. Rowe and Pierre Schneider. All attended the club meeting.

Association, to make the trip from San Francisco was the reason for declaring off the meeting of the executive com- mittee originally planned for January 20 at Chicago. The business in hand did not seem to necessitate a meeting of the committee in the absence of the president. Plans for the convention at San Francisco next June are well in hand and will go on. S. F. Leonard, of Chicago, is chairman of a committee on transportation. Thus far the com- mittee has taken no action, believing it best to wait until the situation be- comes a little more settled. Within a few days an inquiry will be sent out to ascertain what the probable attendance •will be. It is hoped to concentrate the eastern representation at Chicago for a trip to the coast with a special train, picking up the western members en route. CAlfNEES' CONVENTION. According to Frank E. Gorrell, sec- retary of the National Canners' Asso- ciation, and W. C. Langbridge, presi- dent of the Canning Machinery and Supplies Association, the meeting of the canning trade at New York, Feb- ruary 8 and 12, will be of unusual size and interest. The business sessions and headquarters will be at the Hotel Astor, and it is stated that the house already is booked full, though there are plenty of accommodations in the nearby hotels. The exhibition by the Supplies Asso- ciation will be put on at the Grand Central Palace, about three-quarters of a mile from the headquarters. Two floors will be used, the machinery and heavy exhibits on the first floor, with the seeds and other lighter displays on the mezzanine floor. BIDS ON GOVERNMENT SEEDS.

EstabUstaed 1802 53 Barclay Street through to 54 Park Place, New York Mutual Good No business can permanently prosper which fails to recognize that its prosper- ity must be gained by contribution to the prosperity of others. The greatest busi- ness institutions in the world serve the interests of their customers just as con- scientiously as they serve their own. In the sale of Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs the same principle applies— the benefit derived is mutual. You get a profit from the good value of the bulbs, and we get a profit for our services in securing them for you. The only difference is that the grower's profit is a much larger per cent, if he knows how to handle the article. There is a large margin of profit in grow- ing lily bulbs, and especially so if a flo- rist can use the flowers at retail. In this connection we may also say that just how large the margin is depends upon cir- cumstances, the most important of which is that Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs be used. Prices very reasonable— deliveries any time. Write for a Planting Table, showing when to plant Cold Storage bulbs for seasonable flowers.

Business has been rather quiet since the holidays; with the exception of funeral work, there has been little do- ing. The call for flowers in the social circles has been below normal. In many cases garden flowers are used; these are available at almost all times. Eoses are not overplentiful, with a sharp demand. Killarneys are off color. Bkhmonds are fine and the best of keepers. Carnations are equal to the demand and move well. The shipping trade has been rather brisk. Violets are poor and there is considerable com- plaint on the size of the bunches of- fered. Orchids are plentiful and of good quality. A' alley and Cecile Brun- ner are scarce. Easter lilies are plen- tiful. Various Notes. F. Aebi has a fine house of Spreckle carnations, and also about 5,000 plants in the field, from which he gets a good daily cut. H, Hefly, of Portland, Ore., has taken a position with Mr. Ebel, at Sacra- mento, Gal. J. A. Carbone sold about 4,000 or- chids to the trade at Christmas, in ad- dition to many choice plants. The family of A. Vanden Abeele has been detained in Belgium on account of the war. He has received notice, through Secretary Bryan, that they will soon be on their way to America. Koeco Lavagino has a fine crop of Mrs. Shawyer, which is well liked for its keeping qualities. G. A. A^an Linge, who grows valley exclusively, reports sales quite satis- factory. E. K. C. LOS ANQELES. The Market. "While business generally has not been good during the last week or ten days, a large amount of funeral work has kept down any surplus of cut flow- ers, exceptiug. of course, the poor ones, which, like those of the human race, are "always with us." Keally good roses have been in somewhat short sup- ply and have brought good prices. Car- nations are plentiful and good; so are violets and orchids, especially cat- tleyas. The little Cecile Brunner roses are quite scarce, as are sweet peas, and thus the way is left open for good valley, which is plentiful and in ex- cellent demand. Outdoor roses are in good supply and the quality of Kai- serin, Maman Cochet, red and white, and Ulrich Brunner is extra fine. There has been a strong demand for Easter lilies, a good part of the call coming from San Diego, for the fair, but the supply was short and poor. Few growers are handling cold stor- age gigantevftns here, and that seems a pity, as they show a good profit and are almost constantly in demand. Good Asparagus plumosus is selling well, and smilax is on the scarce list. Plants find a poor market now and a consid- erable number of good azaleas are left Thanking you for tke oxcellent results we have had to date from our ad. in The Review. — HOIXTWOOD GARDENS, Per V.

Vaxious Notes. During the meeting of the California nurserymen in San Diego last Novem- H. V. Turner Visits the Fair. ber, Hal Kruckeberg made a number of interesting snapshots, but none any better, perhaps, than that shown in the accompanying picture. Almost every- body on the Pacific coast will recog- nize the classic features, but those who do not are informed that it is Henry W. Turher, of Montebello fame and the raiser of Rose September Morn. I asked Mr. Kruckeberg how he kept Mr. Turner still long enough to get it, but he said his camera snaps with great quickness. Speaking of Septem- ber Morn, it is remarkable how quickly this rose has sprung into popularity, but its many good points form a suffi- cient reason. These good points I need not recapitulate, but rose growers all over the country will be interested in such a magnificent rose and so can hardly fail to be interested in its raiser — no, not creator; leave that to the wonder workers. This is probably the crowning point in Mr. Turner's career as a raiser of roses. At any rate, any- thing that beats it will have to be a wonder. He is to be heartily congratu- lated, Murata & Co. are moving extra large quantities of fine vaHey, taking the en- tire cut of one of the largest growers. This is in line, with the policy of the firm to handle nothing but the best. G. Newman says that, contrary to the usual practice of sending out old stock at the holidays, nothing was sent from this house but absolutely fresh flowers, and they are reaping the benefit now in repeat orders from holiday customers. One of the finest things in O. C. Saakes' window last week was a mag- nificent bunch of Jonkheer J. L. Mock roses of immense size and substance. Mr. Saakes has been handling large quantities of this variety of late, from the Turner range. Fred Sperry made a flying trip to San Diego, to the exposition, last week, in company with his wife and son. Mr. De Graafl', the famous Holland bulb grower, has been calling on the trade in this city. He is such a busy man that we never see much of him, but he expressed himself as delighted with the little he was able to see of southern California. Eldred's Flower Shop, of Pasadena, S.

The Fldfets* Review 59 _ SEPTEMBER MORN Our Sensational New Light Pink Rose Growth of the very strongest of any H. T. yet dis- semiDated, throwing long, strong canes in rapid succession, 2 to 4 feet long; does not require pinch- ing and will produce more high grade blooms than any Rose grown. Buds very large and finely formed, opening well into large, full, double flowers of magnificent size and form; a wonderful keeper, lasting over a week after fully open, and retaining its color and fragrance, which is without question the sweetest found in any rose. The petals are large and of splendid substance, waved or undulated on the edges, giving the bloom a very beautiful and distinct appearance. The color is an exquisite shade of light flesh pink on the outer petals, shad- ing to pure rose pink in the center, with a faint touch of deep golden-yellow at the very base of the petals. Without doubt the most rapturously beauti- ful color in a commercial rose, selling on sight and called for repeatedly, owing to its splendid keeping qualities and distinct coloring. We have this season lO.CXX) of it planted for cut flowers, and it has given the most gratifying returns of any rose we have grown. Foliage large, ample and not sub- ject to mildew or spot. A splendid all-year-round rose, giving good returns every day in the year. Does not get soft in extremely hot weather, and will be found indispensable where high grade blooms are in demand during the hot months. We are propa- gating from selected wood only, insuring good, strong, sturdy plants that will give maximum results. Own root stock only, from 2Hj-in. pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000; 5000 for $1000.00. HENRY W. TURNER, Montebello, Cal. NOTE— It can be seen growing with MR. C. H. TOTTY, of Madison, N.

I., and is for sale by them, in both grafted and pwn rQot stock. 60 The Floriste' Review Jandabt 21, 191S. had the decorations at the recent Mer- ritt wedding and they were exceedingly beautiful. Over 500 strings of smilax were used in the house and these were studded with red carnations, of which about 5,000 were used. The bride car- ried a bouquet of choice orchids. Mr. Eldred is to be congratulated on the excellent trade he has built up. It is interesting to note that Shaw- yer rose has sported to white at the Turner range at Montebello — another case of a sport appearing over widely scattered territory at the same time, or nearly so. The H. N. Gage Co. is shipping fine Boston ferns in large quantities to this market and outside points, Mr. Gage reports a good demand for stock. The Montebello ranch looks fine ^ now, with the narcissi and other bulbous stock in flower. Several large Autocar loads of cata- logues were included in the first mail- ing of the annual appeal of the Ger- main Seed & Plant Co. to its patrons. This year's issue has not been increased in size, but a good deal of condensing had to be done to keep it within limits. The Hillside Nursery, at Montebello, is an interesting place to visit, Mr. Ed- lefsen being one of the old school of nurserymen, who like to keep a lot of varieties that are not grown every- where. A walk through with the genial proprietor is an education and almost every plant has a history. H. E, Eichards. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market. The most pronounced feature of pres- ent market conditions is the shortage of cut stock. There is not enough of anything to go around, except, pos- sibly, Eomans. The continuous cloudy weather is holding back the carnations, so that there is a tendency to stiffen prices to the growers. Bulbous stock is affected in a less degree. Eoses are off crop, and supplies are coming in from California. The sale of potted stock is stimu- lated by the lack of cut flowers, and good sales are reported of cyclamens, cinerarias, azaleas and potted bulbous and ornamental stock. Wild green of good quality is coming in, and pussy willows are more plentiful. Genistas, Primula obconica and malacoides, potted tulips, Eomans and Paper Whites, a few begonias of the Lorraine type and still some poinsettias are shown. Formosa lilies and callas ar- rive in limited quantities. The seed houses are mailing their spring catalogues. The excessive rain has retarded operations at the nur- series, and but little landscape work is being done. The seed stores have just received shipments of English seeds, which appear to be of excellent quality. One feature creditable to the dealers is their willingness to divide with one another any sort of stock they happen to have, and it is astonishing that this spirit of friendliness is regarded by vis- itors as unusual.

Wilhelm Pfltser, Stuttgart. Germany.— Whole- sale list of vegetable and flower seeds, bulbs, roots and plants; eight large pages, printed In German. L. E. Williuiu, Exeter, N. H.— A 16-page cata- logue of collected native trees, shrubs, vines and perennials. Mr. Williams makes a specialty, he says, of collecting native tree and plant seeds and has collectors in different parts of the country. Slals Se Oroot, Knkbuizen, Holland. — General catalogue of vegetable and flower seeds; 125 clearly printed pages, with the prices in English money, but with a table showing the equivalent amounts In United States currency. The intro- ductory pages contain the reminder that during the war period "all telegrams must bear full address and signature and are not allowed to contain code words." Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, 111. — A 112-page catalogue of seeds, bulbs, farm and garden Im- plements, fertilizers, poultry supplies, etc. A condensed alphabetical list, with the prices and the telegraphic code words, occupies the first thirty pages, and is followed by a fully Illus- trated, descriptive catalogue, without prices. L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis. — Illustrated catalogue of seeds, implements and sundries. The vegetable and agricultural list occupies seventy-four of the total nlnety-slx pages; the grains, grasses and other field seeds are espe- cially conspicuous. Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, Minn. — Thirty-first annual catalogue of "Sterling Brand" seeds, bulbs, perennials, vegetable plants and roots, roses, fruits, shrubs, trees, tools and miscellaneous supplies: an unusually comprehen- sive catalogue, containing 100 large pages, well Illustrated. Henry Mette, Quedllnburg, Germany.— A 06- page trade catalogue of vegetable, fiower and farm seeds. The stock of flower seeds listed Is a notably large one and includes several pages of distinctively German seeds, such as German wallflower, larkspur, etc. Among the Illustra- tions are a number of views on the grounds and in the buildings. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y.— Two catalogues, one from the seed department, the other from the landscape and nursery depart- ment. The former, called "Vick's Garden and Floral Guide," contains 104 carefully arranged pages, listing seeds, plants, bulbs and supplies. The nursery catalogue, comprising thirty-two pages and bearing the title, "The Fruit and Orna- mental Tree Book," Is the first of Its kind Issued by the firm; it was discovered that "the nursery trade had grown until a separate department had become a necessity." Both catalogues are well illustrated and are attractive In design. W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. — The fourth of this year's quartet of Burpee seed books. The first to arrive was the general cata- logue, known as "Burpee's Annual"; then came the wholesale list "for seedsmen and dealers only"; then "The Silent Salesman's Assistant, an Aid to Burpee's Annual," and now "Burpee's Blue List," containing wholesale prices "for market gardeners, florists and farmers' clubs." Each of the four books is entirely distinct from the others In matter and arrangement, so that each one Is well fitted for Its own specific pur- pose, and all have been compiled with a pains- taking care that must have Involved a vast amount of labor. Le«dl« Floral Co., Springfield, C— "A Tip In Time," or "Proof Pages of Prelnventory Prices," a 10-page folder containing a preliminary whole- sale list of roses. J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J.— Thirty- seventh annual catalogue of fruit plants, garden roots, roses, perennials, flowering shrubs, orna- mental trees, vines and hardy northern pecans; slrty-four pages, Illustrated.

M. — Illustrated catalogue Of "seeds adapted to the southwest"; also poultry supplies, bee-keepers' equipments, garden and field tools and sundries. HELIOTBOFES FROM SEED.

Feank Johnson, of Normal, 111., for twenty-five years with the Phoenix Nur- - sery Co., of Bloomington, 111., now in the hands of a receiver, is contemplating starting a nursery at Heyworth, IlL John Hall, secretary of, among other things, the A. A. N., is busy just now preparing for the sixtieth annual meet- ing of the "Western New York Horti- eultural Society, to be held in his home town, Bochester, January 27 to 29. This is one of the other things he is secre- tary of. The Hereford Nursery, at Hereford, ,!r«x., reports the largest year 's business ^^:,'ybi. the last six years for 1914. L. P. " K..^.^^f/artHrfim^ general manager, says the '^' Atirsery will be enlarged this coming year. It now covers about forty acres. Joseph Landrum is his father's assistant in running the business. James Vick's Sons, of Bochester, N. Y., have, they say, decided not to do things ty halves, and so have established a separate department to handle orders for nursery stock. To this end, their "Tree Book" makes its first appear- ance, a booklet of thirty-two pages and cover, devoted wholly to nursery stock. ^ Nurserymen, and those in many other lines of business, for that matter, would like to see Uncle Sam arrange for de- livery, postage C. O. D., by parcel post. It should be possible for a reputable concern to obtain such delivery by a pledge to pay the double postage, to ad- dressee and back, on packages returned. At the annual meeting of the Durant Nursery Co., Durant, Okla., the directors chose W. A. Wagner manager, to succeed J. T. Foote, who has resigned and moved to Sherman, Tex. Mr. Wagner has been with the company for a number of years, in different capacities. C. C. Mayhew, of Sherman, Tex., is president of the company. In addition to the information on ship- ment by parcel post which is contained in most of the other nurserymen's cata- logues, J. T. Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J., gives, in his thirty-seventh annual catalogue, a list of the average weights of one dozen or 100 berry plants, roots, shrubs, perennials, and the like, when properly packed for mailing. The zinc reproduction of an outline map showing the parcel post zones, with the concern 's postoflFice as the center, is a not expensive and exceedingly conve- nient addition to the catalogues of nur- serymen who look forward to receiving many remittances for postage on pack- ages to be sent by mail. It is surpris- ing in how few catalogues it appears. On the program of the annual meeting of the Peninsula Horticultural Society, held at Wilmington, Del., January 12 and 13, were J. W. Killen, of Feltou, Del., who spoke on "Nut Culture;" Or- lando Harrison, of Berlin, Md., on ' ' Peach Culture on the Peninsula ; ' ' Les- ter Lovett, of Milford, Del., on "Grape Growing;" W. F. Allen, of Salisbury, Md., on "Small Fruits," and F. C. Stokes, of Moorestown, N. J., on "Good Seeds." Please cut out of my ad for Privet the 18 to 24-Utch, as I am all sold out of that size.

THE PHOENIX NTJBSEBY SAUL The real estate of the Phoenix Nurs- ery Co., Bloomington, 11^ was sold at the court house in that city January 16, to B. S. Green, of Bloomington, for the sum of $28,000. The purchase price is considered low by local people, but owing to the terms of the sale, which were cash, and the present stringency of the money market, the bidding was not as lively as it might have been. The purchaser has not stated what he intends to do with the property, nor will he do so until the court confirms the sale when it convenes for the Feb- ruary term. By the dissolution of this corporation there passes out of existence one of the oldest and most reliable nurseries of the country, whose patronage extended into every state of the Union and many foreign countries. John Y. Chisholm as receiver has conducted the business for more than a year. The nursery was established in 1852 and the company ir.corporated in 1890. THE EUBOPEAN OUTLOOK. Even those who, at the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, prophesied a shortage of supplies in the lines of nursery stock imported from abroad, have since been convinced of their er- roi by the arrival of consignments al- most, if not fully, equal to the receipts of former years. The difficulty of transportation has delayed French nur- sery stocks and probably prevented a surplus in those lines such as developed for the seedsmen in Holland bulbs. The advices from France are to the effect that exports to the countries arrayed against her were, of course, nil, and to the allied nations, much less than usual, but to the United States, close to nor- mal. What will next season bringf is now the question. Obviously, much depends upon how long the war lasts. But there are certain, factors which bear upon next season's imports that can be reck- oned on with certainty at the present time. Though an attempt has been made by European nurserymen in nearly all places outside the scene of actual conflict to carry on business as usual, affairs have been dull, money is scarce, many have left for the front, and a large number of those who are at home are inclined to be discour- aged. It is not to be wondered at if some, under the business burdens, per- sonal privations and general uncer- tainty which is their lot, become dis- pirited. Strenuous efforts are being made by the trade organs that con- tinue publication, to encourage those who are at home to carry on work as usual, so as to be ready for normal business when peace is made. But those in this country, where we have had only a faint echo of the business depression that has obtained abroad, can appreciate, by fancying condi- tions here several times worse, what these hopeful ones have to contend with. How far they can spur on the rest to work, under difficulties and dis- couragements, as in other years, and make up, as well, the lack of those who arc at the front, cannot be guessed at. That affairs will not be normal next season, will not be disputed. The ques- tion is, how far from normal will our imports be?

As a word by the way, it seems as though this were the thne for advo- cates of American-grown stock for American nurserymen to push their case. Perhaps the production in this country of stock now obtained from abroad may prove a necessity as well as a matter of political economy an- other season. PBOPAOATION-^ OF EVEBGBEENS. What is the best way to propagate coniferous evergreens, such as biotas, retinosporas, cupressus, juniperus, etc., and also broad-leaved evergreens, such as camellias, laurels, tea olives, rhodo- dendrons, etc., all of which grow out- side here, in Alabama f F. 6. Such coniferous plants as you name can be propagated in two or three ways. The retinosporas are chiefly increased by cuttings inserted in sandy loam in coldframes or greenhouses in July and August. The frames or houses must be kept close and shaded, and care should be taken that the cuttings are never allowed to become dry. Cuttings are generally in a condition to be planted out in coldframes in the spring, where they can have some shade and be carefully watered. The following season they can be put in nursery rows in the field. R. obtusa is usually in- creased by veneer grafting. Dwarf forms of retinosporas should always be increased from cuttings, or they will lose their characteristics. The retinos- poras can also be increased from seed. The same culture applies to biota and cupressus. The junipers are usually raised from seeds, which germinate slowly, as a rule not until the second season, sometimes even later. The low, spreading types can be propagated by layering.

Camellias can be grafted in small pots under glass, or short cuttings of the preceding season's wood, contain- ing two to three eyes, may be used. Plunging the pots where they can ob- tain a little bottom heat facilitates rooting. Laurels are most easily prop- agated from cuttings. Rhododendrons can be rooted from cuttings. Layer- ing is also carried out to some extent, but grafting on another rhododendron stock is usually resorted to. R. Ponti- cum as a stock would prove quite hardy in your latitude. Graft near the roots. The best time is December to Febru- ary under glass. Kalmias, or mountain laurels, are raised both from cuttings and seeds. The latter plan is now mostly followed. The sweet olive, os- manthus, or Olea fragrans, is increased by cuttings. The plants in the nur- sery prefer partial shade. The fruit- ing olive comes slowly from seed, and usually the ends of the shoots of fruit- ing plants are used. These will root in a cutting bench under glass even if 2 to 3 years old.

A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the American Rose Society was held at the office of Traendly & Schenck in New York, January 11. Those pres- ent were Wallace K. Pierson, Robert Pyle, S. S. Pennock, Louis J. Reuter, Harry O. May and Benjamin Hammond. The decision to hold the annual exhi- bition and meeting with the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society, Boston, March 18 to 21, was carried. The com- mittee on schedules 'consists of L. J. Reuter, Thomas Roland and Alex. Mont- gomery, who will issue the full schedule within a few days. The appointment of a manager for the show was left with the schedule committee. The an- nual meeting of the society will be held in Horticultural hall March 19, at 3 p. m. Robert Simpson was appointed a com- mittee of one to confer with the New York Botanical Garden committee rela- tive to a June show at that place. A communication was received from Philadelphia relative to an exhibition by the American Rose Society in the spring of 1916 and a substantial amount was offered for a prize list. This was gone over carefully and held subject to approval at the annual meeting in March. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y. HARTFORD, CONN. The Market. Business continues quiet. There is plenty of stock offered at reasonable prices; in fact, the supply is larger than the demand. The indications are that the supply of roses will greatly decrease within the next week or so. The receipts of carnations are large. Formosa lilies are offered in quantity. The supply of greens is large, with the exception of Asparagus Sprengeri. Various Notes. John Coombs has let the contract for a house 54x220 to Hitchings & Co. It will be devoted to roses. January 8 the Connecticut Horticul- tural Society held its first meeting of the year. The new president, Warren S. Mason, touched upon several plans for the new year, chief of which was a spring flower show. The following committees were appointed: Executive committee — .Tohn F.

With tlie exception of sweet peas, carcissi and American Beauty roses, the supply of all flowers last week was materially lessened, and prices are a little higher. The rainy days of the «arly part of the week had a bad effect ■on carnations and roses, and of the for- mer thousands of splits are coming into the market, while there is complaint of mildew with respect to the latter. There are enough gardenias to be had to fill all demands; orchids are plentiful and •quite cheap. The price on both single and double violets has dropped to 50 and 75 cents per hundred. Good stevia is to be had. Among the new arrivals are cornflowers and freesias, both of which are moving well. Valley is in big demand, and lilies sell readily be- cause of an increased amount of funeral work. Various Notes. John H. Small, Jr., lias been reelect- ed a director of the Farmers' & Me- chanics' National bank and of the Union Trust Co. William F. Gude will occupy a similar position with the Mun- sey Trust Co. and the Lincoln National bi-nk, and Frank W. Bolgiano will serve on the board of directors of the •Continental Trust Co. Among the visitors last week were Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorrancetown, Pa.; Charles E. Meehan, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, and William F. Easting, of Buffalo, N, Y. Maggie Pooley, the gypsy who was accused of robbing George Comley of ^200, pleaded guilty of the offense and was sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary, but was placed on pro- 'bation on the proviso that she leave within a week for Oklahoma. The woman is a Cherokee Indian, but has nt>een living with the gypsies. Z. D. Blackistone has been elected •chairman of the florists' section of the Betail Merchants' Association. Superintendent George W. Hess au- -nounces that the botanic gardens will hereafter be open Sundays from 10 to 3. Standholders in the Center Market are planning to hold an exhibition dur- ing the week of February 15. The stands are to be decorated and an or- chestra and a band have been engaged. Robert A. Bowdler and Frank B. Slye are members of the committee which will have this affair in charge. J. Norman Ager, who for the last three years has been connected with the rose growing force of Gude Bros. Co. at the Mt. Olivet houses, has resigned his position and is about to go west with a view to locating in Arizona or southern California. C. L. L.

On Tuesday of last week a severe storm with a heavy rainfall passed over Lancaster county. Statistics show that more than 3.11 inches of rain fell. The high winds wrought havoc with the wires and several florists suffered loss from the breaking of glass. The geranium rooting establishments, in which Lancaster county leads the United States, are running full time and are not nearly able to keep up with the orders. Kieard, Nutt and Poitevine are the leaders. Geo. G. Goldbach is starting to cut callas in quantity. His window dis- play last week was one of the best seen ia the city. Chas. F. Edgar has severed his con- nection with B. F. Barr & Co. The best wishes of the club go with him. Among the visitors noted during the week were: Walter Mott, selling Ham- mond's Slug Shot; Max Fierstein, rep- resenting the Moore Seed Co., Philadel- phia, and Paul Kronnell, representing C. J. Speelman & Sons, Sassenheim, Holland. Buddleia Asiatica is being tried out by several of the local growers, to ascertain its value as a cut flower. Its graceful appearance and delicate odor make it exceedingly attractive. A car- nation house temperature seems to suit it well. H, B. Weaver, of Bird in Hand, is cutting mignonette and Silver Pink an- tirrhinum of highest quality. H. D. Rohrer has several houses of Primula malacoides, which are finding a good market. This variety is a valu- able addition to the primula family, for, with its dainty pink flowers and pleasant fragrance, it is irresistible to the flower buyer during the dark days of winter. H. K. R.

Business has been active. There was an unusually large number of funerals last week, twenty-eight in all, and of course considerable work was done. Flowers are more plentiful than they have been at this season for a long time. The weather has been favorable for their production, as it is mild, with a good deal of sunshine. Roses, car- nations, sweet peas. Paper Whites, Ro- mans, etc., are good and the prices are lower than they have been for the last seven or eight years, at least. Various Notes. C. L. Niednagel intends to grow only grafted stock this season, and so he is busy grafting. He has been cutting a lot of flowers from the. own-root stock, but has concluded that grafted stock will do still better. J. C. Elspermann has been on the sick list. Business is good and potted plants are selling especially well. Karl Zeidler is getting a good share of the funeral orders. He has to buy a good many roses and carnations. W. D. Macer is getting his share of trade, it seems, as he is pretty busy. E. L. Fenton is attending the poultry show this week, at Evans hall. Julius Niednagel & Sons have been busy right along. Their carnation crop is floe and the rose production is im- proving. They are having excellent results with carnation cuttings in the sand. E. L. F. OREELEY, COLO. P. O. Hansen will add two houses to his range next summer. When they are completed he will employ a night fireman. The added neatness and quality of the stock of the Gardner Floral Co, proves the wisdom of handling less glass after the mum season. A. Gardner's son, Howard, who was formerly connected with his father's business, has taken a position with the leading garage here. Miss Helen Peary, general manager for Ellis the Florist, recently made a flying trip to Denver on business. Andrew Epple expects to replace the smoke flue in his vegetable forcing house by hot water or steam next sea- son. fYCUMEN ^^ J Exceptionallv Well Flowered ^*^ All Colors 4-inch.

Flowers are rosy red and are unusually large and double, resem- bling very much a very full, double, hardy garden rose.

D'ABENBERO This variety might well have been termed a Bed Killarney, as it possesses- so many of the good qualities of the Killarneys. In color the flowers are ' similar to Bichmond, but they are much- more double, and it should prove a very much more profitable rose. Flow- ers have fine, straight stems on all the grades — from the shortest to the longest. It has fine foliage, comes away quickly and is even a freer bloomer than the Killarneys. We believe it is the best all-round red rose that we have today. Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-incb pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 per 1000. JANDABY 21, 1915. The Florists' Review 79 SOME RECORD This week when ordering their third lot of seed of my original S. P. snaps, Messrs. W. G. Moulton & Son, York Village, Me., write : "Last year we planted a bench 4x40 to your S. P. seedling snaps. They came right for Memorial Day. We began cutting April 12 and in six weeks we sold 1600 spikes, besides what we used and gave away. They were not only very profitable, but a great and showy ad for us, many customers judging them ' great.' ' wonderful,' etc., and all were highly pleased with them. We were compelled to sacrifice the bed after Memorial Day to make room for early mums. Haye the same bench planted this year and they are great." This must be acknowledged a great record, which cannot be duplicated by any other snapdragon. By throwing the plants out so early these gentlemen missed a heavier crop of blossoms, which would have continued several months. We have plants that will mjake the same record for you, and to quickly move a block we will add 10 per cent in plants with every order. Price for XX stock only, $4.00 per 100. $36.00 per 1000. Remember, these are SEEDLING plants. Your time and space are wasted if you use cuttmgs. Other varieties are: Yellow, $5.00 per lOO; Garnet Gem, $8.00, and Nelrose, $6.00. Write for complete list. Don't overlook the importance of early seed-sowing. Have ready a big lot of snaps for spring trade. My seedling Silver Pink does as well in field as in greenhouse, being of medium height and producing three blossoms to one of any variety in existence.

Stock W..8 plentiful last week and bnsiness was above expectations. The local erowers are cutting fine roses and carnations. Medium-grade roses were scarce. Plenty of carnations are being cut every day, and the stock is fine, considering the cloudy weather. Among the better grades on the market are Philadelphia, Herald and Enchantress. Sweet peas have improved wonder- fully, but long-Stdmmed stock is scarce and short-stemmed stock is not enough for the demand. Violets and valley are hard to get. Narcissi, yellow and white, have glutted the market, but the rush of funeral work during the last few days has helped to keep the supply down. Easter lilies are fine, and florists are assured of fine crops. There are some jonquils on the market, but they are rather soft yet. Various Notes. An enthusiastic club meeting was held Tuesday, January 12, at the store of S. N. Peck. About thirty-five florists were present. The main discussion of the evening was on how to create more in- terest and liveliness in the regular meetings. The secretary suggested that the meetings start more promptly and close at an earlier hour, after which bowling tournaments be held. As a re- sult, a number of florists, together with F. Lemke, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, rolled a few games. Among the star bowlers were H. A. Mills, To- ledo's veteran florist, who has passed the 70-year mark; Max Spanner, Martin Lehman, of Schramm Bros.; E. A. Kuhnke and Geo. B. Schramm. T. Magee reports business still good, with plenty of decorating to do. Busi- ness in general is better than he ex- pected at this time of the year. Schramm Bros, report business all that could be expected. It is surprising how fancy boxes and plants are selling for hospital trade. John Barrow has his greenhouses well ' filled with spring bedding stock and ferns, all of which look well. Among the visitors last week were: Charles Schwacke, of Chas. Schwaeke & Co., New York; Fred Lemke, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago; Frank J. Farney, of the M. Rice Co., Philadel- phia; F. G. Nelson, of the Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Burlington, la., and E. A. Marxson, of Chas. F. Meyer, Inc., New York. G. B. 8. POT- GROWN FERNS HARRISn, BOSTON, WHITMANI. PIERSONI.

I am building a greenhouse and should like you to tell me the proper way to install the heating pipes. The house is 20x60, inside measurement. It runs east and west, with the boil- er room at the west end. The boiler room is four feet six inches lower than the floor of the greenhouse. The greenhouse is four feet six inches high to tlie eaves and nine feet high to the ridge. There is no glass in the north wal) or in the west end below the eave. The south wall has twenty inches of glass. The east end has twenty inches of glass below the eave. There is a door in the east end. The wall under the house and boiler room consists of tile building blocks, except the south wall, which is on posts, boarded up to the glass. I expect to use steam heat. The house is to be used for growing let- tuce and for starting vegetable plants in the spring. I shall use raise M Don't waste the condensation in your steam lines.

The warm, sunshiny weather from January 1 to 16 brought the cut flow- ers into bloom too fast. This city has already received its average of sun- shine for January. Business in general is irregular and it is difficult to report it exactly. On the whole, the demand has improved, but the stock is coming in too heavily, except in red flowers, of which there are not enough to fill orders. As compared with last year, the supply of pot plants has just dou- bled; this will mean low prices some- where along the line. There is a noticeable shortage in red roses and Beauties, with a heavier de- mand. The reason for the shortage is that the growers have commenced to propagate. Killarneys also are less plentiful, but sufficient to fill orders. The situation in carnations is bad, as they are coming by the thousands. Splits have no show at any price and the market does not nearly consume the receipts, an unusual condition at this time of year. Bulbous stock is plenti- ful, especially narcissi, which have been a glut in this market for the last three years. Easter lilies, sweet peas, valley and snapdragons are still abundant and only the best of them sell even at low prices. Orchids have sold for less money than ever before, as the supply is far heavier than the call. VailoiiB Notes. The trade will regret to hear that Luke A. 3aumgardner, formerly with W. J. Barnes, died at his home in St. Louis January 6. The Alpha Floral Co. was busy all of last week with decorations. Corsage bouquets were also in good demand. Henry Eusik ft Co. report that they are short in some lines of stock and the reverse in other lines. Orders for wire work have been heavy. E. A. Humfeld had a good run on funeral work last week and business in general has been all he could ex- pect. W. J. B.

It may seem, some- times, as if we changed our minds overnight — •nw^-'fr; Based on elaborately intricate flgruringr, by our engineers, of roof stress and strains, we absolutely know that the method of bracing is the best for preventing lengthwise movement of greenhouses lofd^&fitirnhamio. when, as a matter of fact, we have been mak- ing tests and slowly changing our minds for months and months. Our salesmen know exactly why we use the things we use, the way we u6e them. If you but give them half a chance, they can prove up to you, step by step, why our materials and construction are beyond a question of doubt the very best in the mar- ket today. When you are ready for such a talk, say when and where and one of us will be there. SALBS OFFICES FACTOmiS NEW TORK BOSTON 43d Street Bide.

And, it never has to be put on and off. It is always there though invisible. 2 This air space saves more than one half the labor. 3 It makes far earlier and stronger plants.

Gentlemen:- Relatlve to the White truck that we have been operating for the paet six months, will say that it is in a class of its own, far superior in ever/ way to any of its com- petitors. We have driven the oar about eight thousand (8,000) miles and In that time it has never refused to run and has taken the place of three wagons. With the exception of the monthly inspection by The White Company, It has not been touched. We believe it to be as economical in the consumption of tires and gasoline as any other aake.

The Florists' Review The Nan in Charge of our Kraftine has had years of exper- ience in this work with other firms, and he is well acquainted with the manner in which most of them do it. He said to me today:— "This is the only place I ever worked where they are so particular with the grafting wood— most of them use blind wood or any old kind, while you use only the choicest flowering w^ood." We are particular, and we expect to keep on being particular with every detail of the grafting business. We are not going to have one customer but what will be entirely satisfied. Our first 50,000 will all be out of the boxes within a week and they sure are a fioe lot, that we will be glad to show to prospective purchasers of grafted roses. If you are thinking of buying some graJted roses this year a trip here might be very profitable to you in many ways. We are grafting all the kinds, but Ophelia and Bus- sell in greater quantity than any others. Our new "Baby Rose" GEO. ELGAR while not advertised as extensively as some of the new ones, is sure to make just about as good a place for itself as any of them. The store men like little roses— most any of them will tell you so. They like Cecile Brunner, the little pink one, and they will like Geo. Elgar better, because of better foliage and stem, and its wonder- ful clear yellow color. The grower will like it because it will pay him to grow it. It's so easy to grow— so free from disease —and brings so many salable flowers that sell so easily. It's good for the small grower, too, the grower that has a small retail business, for he can always, with a couple of hundred plants, cut enough to make one or more bouquets, on short notice. Good own root or grafted. State how many you would like to grow — write us about it, and let us quote you. OUR $10.00 BOXES OF CUT ROSES are gaining friends every day. Friends anaong sonae of the naoit discriminating buyers. The largest retailer in one of the largest naid-west cities sent for a sample box last week — He sent back at once for a standing order for feveral phirmpnts a week. They are assorted srood quality roses--tresb"ab80lutely fresh. Wby not order one today? SOUTH PARK FLORAL CO.

Limited ROYAL NURSERIES BELFAST, IRELAND CARNATION SHOW fg M CHARMS BUFFALO Twenty-fourth annual exhibition of the American Carnation Society draws large trade attendance and wins favor of puMic, admitted on tickets issued hy Buffalo florists. Display comprises newest and hest varieties, all of high quality. Interest centers on new varieties, which make strong, though not sensational, showing. OR the carnation specialists the unusual conditions that have prevailed so far this season appear to have add- ed to rather than detracted from /the interest attach- ing to the annual meeting of the American Carnation Society, in progress at Buffalo. The regulars have turned out almost to a man, but the attendance of those who are not first of all carnation men was not, at the opening, so large as it usually is. The exhibition, staged in the parlors of the Iroquois hotel Jan- uary 27, is nearly as large as last year's show at Cleveland, in certain classes much larger, the New England representation being especially strong. President Goddard was accompanied by a bodyguard of about thirty from Boston and vicinity. They brought their flowers with them in the sleeper and had the drawing room packed full to the ceilidg. A. A. Pembroke, of Beverly, Mass., is the largest exhibitor, staging twenty-four vases, but President Goddard and other New Englanders make large and ex- cellent shows. The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., is the largest western ex- hibitor. It can truthfully be said for this exhibition that, while it is not quite so large as some of its predecessors, the quality of the flow- ers sets a record. Quality High. The exhibitors practically all are carnation specialists, and their flowers all are of superlative quality. Also the varieties are the newest and best. Enchantress does not predominate as it so often does where the general growers supply the bulk of entries. The quality of the stock has captured the Buffalo public, ad- mitted by ticket, and the rooms are crowded during the open hours. It was not possible to duplicate last year 's OFnCERS ELECTED. Prestdent, Joceph H. Hill, Richmond, Ind. Vice-President, J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111. Secretary, A. F. J. Baur, lodlanapcUs, Ind. Treasurer, Fred E. Domer, La Fayette, Ind. showing of retailers' work, which was the great feature of the exhibition at Cleveland. Giroatioa Alice Coombs. (Albert Kopcr's variety which swept the decks at Buffalo. The predominant feature, perhaps, is the strength of the flesh-pink and light- pink classes. The raisers of novelties seem to have been working with the blood of Enchantress. The show has brought out nothing sensationally new. The varieties now grown in quantity by the specialists are so good it is not an everyday mat- ter to bring out something better. Probably the two varieties to attract most attention are Alice, from Peter Fisher, and Pink Sensation, from Domer, both flesh-pinks and being dis- seminated this year. Miss Alice Coombs, from Albert Roper, in the same class, shows up strong. Its dissemina- tion has been postponed to next year. Mrs. Akehurst repeats the promise it gave last year at Cleveland of becom- ing a factor in the markets. Good Cheer, medium pink, from F. Dorner & Sons Co., also looks like a good com- mercial sort. Laura Weber, from Charles Weber, was entered in several classes and shows up even better than it did at the society's show at Cleveland a year ago. The Debutantes. Of the varieties shown for the first time, Cottage Maid, from the Cottage Gar- dens Co., a flesh-pink sport of Mrs. Ward, commands attention. The same exhibitor has several promis- ing seedlings under number. Albert Roper shows Grace, another flesh-pink of flne promise, and sev- eral seedlings under number that will be heard from in an- other year or two. W. J. Palmer staged Sunbeam, flesh-pink, which he is trying for .1. Steidle, of Olivette, Mo. Ed- ward Winkler, of Wakefield, Mass., sent some fine flowers of Morning Glow. Bassett & Wash- burn, Chicago, show Belle Washburn, red; Helen Washburn, pink, and a flesh- pink seedling under number. Littlefield & Wyman, Abing- ton, Mass., show Miss Theo and a seedling under number. Others who have promising new sorts not yet named were F. Dorner & Sons Co., Mt. Greenwood Cemetery, E. G. Hill Co., and William A. Dawson, of Willi- mantic. Conn. The roses, staged for exhibition only, made a splendid showing. F. Dorner & 12 The Florists^ Review Januabx 28, 1915. Sons Co., La Fayette, Ind., put up a fine vase of well opened Hoosier Beauty, and the E. G. Hill Co., Rich- mond, Ind., showed the same variety cut tighter. From Richmond also came a, splendid vase of Ophelia. F. R. Pier- son Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., had a cen- ter of attraction in a big decorative vase of Francis Scott Key, and also showed Killarney Queen, Ophelia and Prince d'Arenberg in fine shape. S. J. Goddard showed a big vase of Buddleia Asiatica, new to many of those present. J. A. Nelson, of Framingham, staged his new pure white antirrhinum. A. J. Stahelin, Redfield, Mich., had a table of exceptionally good sweet peas, all Zvolanek's orchid-flowering type. J. A. Peterson & Sons, Cincinnati, O., had a large table of begonias, the varieties Melior and Mrs. Peterson, and cycla- mens. W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J,, had a table of orchids in bloom, Polypodium Mandaianum and other spe- cialties. The exhibits of F. R. Pierson Co. in- cluded a vase of a new pink rose named Rostand, of the Ward type but a longer bud. Jerry Brookins & Son, Orchard Park, N. Y., staged eleven va- rieties of Zvolanek 's sweet peas.

The Florists^ Review 13 THE PRESIDENT'S ia^ ANNUAL ADDRESS r^ !: ^•^ IHE American Carnation So- ciety is recognized as the best managed special flori- cultural society in this country, and its influence is - far-reaching. I am of the opinion that some pres- sure should be brought to bear on dis- seminators of carnations whereby they will be induced to use greater care in the selection of stock. I know they are obliged to handle thousands of cut- tings when sending out a novelty, as the demand for a winner is tremen- dous. Nowadays, on nearly every new variety we invest in, we get twenty- five per cent unhealthy stock, which either throws semi-double, curly, or oflf- color flower«. If they cAnnot maat Ihe demand at present prices, why not set a price whereby they can meet it and give us guaranteed stock f I believe we should demand guaranteed stock the same in carnations as in insecti- cides or fertilizers. Up to Growers. The carnation has been under a severe te^t this seaeron, much more so than during any previous year. Some growers claim that it is los- ing its popularity with the flower- buying public. I cannot agree with this view. It is as popular as ever, "^ if not more so. It is still * ' everybody 's flower," and if it is put on the market or into the buyer 's home as fresh as possible, it will not be replaced by any other flower. It often happens that blooms are old when they are cut, and are ready for the ash- barrel instead of the drawing room. It is in our own province to make or destroy the popularity of the carnation. To Vice-president Anderson and the local florists ' club are due the thanks of the society for their untiring efforts in working to make this convention the success I am sure it will prove to be. To Secretary Baur are also due the same ap- preciation and confi- dence of the society. No member, except he be an officer of the society, can form The full text of the uUdreiiii'Uf iSamuel J. Goddard, president of the American Carnation Society, delivered at the conTeotlon at Buffalo, January 27, 1915. - ' _^ any idea of the amount of work the secretary has to perform. The carnation register that Mr. Baur and Mr. Dorner are compiling will be of inestimable value to the society in years to come, and I hope that some action will be taken, at their comple- tion looking toward the preservation of these records, to protect them from fire or other such destructive causes. Next year our society complfites its first quarter century of . existence, a period showing achievement performed never dreamed of by its founders, and I would suggest that . wpifchhlf^. feeogair tion be taken to celebrate tbia event ; something added to the premiun) list that would mt^ke it iiotewoTthy, could well be accomplished. More Members. ' ' Previous presidents have called at- tention to the small membership of our Samuel J. Goddard. (President of th« American Carnation Society.) society compared with the hosts engaged in growing carnations, but no specific ,way has ever been devised or recom- mended whereby we have increased our membership to any extent. Thousands are engaged in growing carnations commercially, either as a side line or specialty, and I am sure that we can get our due proportion if we have some influential members to present to these growers personally the benefits they and we jointly shall derive by their joining the Carnation Society. "Why not have appointed one mem- ber in each state or section of the country, whose duty it shall be to in- dnce all eligible to become members? Let UB all endeavor to help increase .ihe membership to at least 500 on our silver anniversary. Some few years ago the society had an honorary membership.. For some reason or other, this has been dropped, and I would recommend that the names ori^ally on the list be again added, or if tlus cannot be done under our present rules, that the by-laws be amended, incorporat- ' ing honorary mem- bership. Assistant Judges. Another recom- mendation I would like to make is that assistant judges be appointed to serve with our regular judges. Often some regular judge is ab- sent and an outsider has to be called in to take his place. If assistants were in at- tendance, they could take the place of the absent member, or in case of a deadlock, as often happens, they could be relied upon to give sound judgment based upon practical knowledge gained while serving with experts. We all can judge by com- parison, but it takes the expert to score on points the new varieties that are en- tered for the Ameri- cB.n Carnation So- ciety and other medals. You will be called upon at this meeting to consider at your deliberations the question of affilia- tion with the Society of American Florists, to accept or reject membership on the board of directors of that society, and I earnestly hope that \3 14 The Florists^ Review Januabz 28, 1915. Joeeph H. HIIL (President-elect American Carnation Society.) every member who has views on this vital subject will express them at this time. In closing, I wish to express my thanks to the trade press for the many courtesies extended to the officers of the society during the last year. To the members of the society who have shown such enthusiasm in our exhibi- tion by setting up such a magnificent display of carnations, I extend my sin- cere thanks. Our society cannot help but prosper while the members continue to back up its officers the way they have done here at Buffalo. SECRETABT'S REPORT. [The following Is the report of A. F. .T. Baur, secretary of the American Carnation Society, pre- sented at the Buffalo conyention, January 27, 1015.1 We are pleased to report a substan- tial increase in the membership this year, there being now .318 annual mem- bers and twelve life members enrolled and in good standing. During the last year there have been added thirty-eight new members, in addition to thirteen delinquents who have been reinstated under the plan adopted in 1912. After deducting those who are delinquent for the year 1913, we have a net increase of thirty-three over last year. We have collected money as follows: Does $671.00 Advertising 14.1.44 Dorner Memorial Fund 5.00 Miscellaneous 44.2.3 Total $865.67 All of this has been turned over to the treasurer and his receipt taken therefor, except $121.68, which came in while the audit was being taken. The $5 collected for the Dorner Me- moritJ Fund was transferred to the general fund, to replace part of the amount taken out of that fund to make the even $1,000 needed to draw $40 in- terest per annum. Accounts Audited. The books of the secretary and treasurer were audited by a profes- sional accountant, as has been cus- tomary. The auditor's report will fol- low the reading of the treasurer's re- port, and we are pleased to note that he found the books in first-class order and the society's finances sound and in good shape. All bills are being paid promptly, and no accounts have been lost, except from delinquent members. The annual report was issued on schedule time and distributed to the members. The same is true of the pro- gram and the schedule of premiums for this meeting. We secured twenty-two pages of advertising for this schedule, which we consider quite good, consid- ering that this advertising had to be solicited just when the worst of the present business depression was on. Twelve, seedling varieties and three sports have been registered with this society since the last annual report was issued. Besides these, the Perpetual Flowering Carnation Society of Eng- land reports sixteen registrations. A system of exchanging registrations at frequent intervals has been adopted by the secretaries of the two societies, with a view to prevent duplication of names, but there has as yet been no way found to prevent sports which are identical from being given diflferent names in this country and Europe. In time, when the new varieties will be imported as well as exported, this prob- lem will present itself for solution. At this time, .what confusion there is, is all on the other side, as few European varieties have thus far found their way over here. Suggestions for handling this situation will be in order. Carnation Register. We are still working on the carnation register. We are pleased to report that while our present plan for gathering data entails considerable labor, it ia bringing results. It will be only a question of time, and we will have the register as complete as it is possible to make it at this time, and the data will be authentic. We wish here to thank the trade press for assistance in this work, especially in locating per- sons who have moved away from the addresses from which the registrations were made. The arrangements for this meeting were planned along the same lines as those followed at Cleveland last year, and with the same degree of success. The local committee took hold with a will and has done its part splendidly. To our worthy 'vice-president, Mr. Anderson, is due especial credit. To the growers who supplied the blooms used in the table displays is due the society's thanks. The splendid success achieved, so far as we have gone with this department, should stimulate ex- pansion and if ' the exhibits could be diversified in a practical manner, it would be well to do so. We would like our retail members to offer suggestions along this line. Directors' Meetings. The board of directors held its usual meeting immediately following the last convention, also the regular midsummer meeting at the S. A. F. meeting, which took place in Boston, August 22. At the Boston meeting, the secretary was instructed to purchase whatever blooms inight be needed for the table , displays, in addition to those secured from the disseminators of new va- rieties. Blooms of three varieties were purchased, with the idea of having the retail display cover about the same range of colors as is found in our sec- tion A. According to arrangement made with the New York Florists' Club, we took charge of the entries and the staging of the carnation section of the inter- national flower show, held in New York March 21 to 28, 1914. A splendid ex- hibit of carnation blooms was staged by both commercial growers and pri- vate gardeners, the large groups, covering 150 square feet of space, being the finest arrangements of carnations ever seen in this country. A report of the awards will be read at this meet- ing- PROBABLE PROFITS. I should like to find out approxi- mately what could be made on two houses, each 36x200, properly handled, one planted with carnations, the other with roses, in the vicinity of Kansas City, Mo. About how many flowers could be cut on an average in a season from the Enchantress carnations — that is, one plant on the average — also from Ameri- can Beauty, Killarney and Sunburst roses f How much extra help should be needed to keep the two houses, one planted with carnations, the other with roses, in first-class order, considering that the fireman and foreman in our present range could do their part in Januaby 28, 1916. The Horists' Review IS the new houses? It would be a great favor to me to get this information from some of your experts, as the in- formation I have received through The Review has always been reliable. 8. C. C. I can answer your questions only partly, but you will be able to secure the rest of the information you are seeking by making inquiry in your local market. The conditions in the market where you will dispose of your stock will have a strong bearing on the earnings of your houses. The best growers figure an average of from twelve to fifteen blooms per plant from the Enchantress varieties, from Octo- ber 1 to June 1. Your local growers can give you, an idea of what the blooms ought to average in price for the season. I might add that your blooms might make a higher or lower average, according to the quality you succeed in producing. So much for the receiving end. The cost of operating is even more perplexing, when you come to actual figures. One man will run a place on far less expense than another and do it better. I would suggest, however, that it should require the time of a grower and a helper most of the time to run these two houses. If the two houses are to be added to an establish- ment already in operation, you might put in a grower and then supply him what help he needs from time to time, but you will find that he will need a helper most of the time. Just what you will be required to pay a grower in your locality, I am unable to say, but would suggest that it will pay you to get the best man you can find. He will make for you several times over the extra sum you might have to pay him. Cheap, inefficient help is undoubtedly the most expensive economy. One large grower has figured that Wallace H. Eiss. (ProKldc-nt Buffalo Florists' Club.) each carnation plant costs him 23 cents during the season, counting the cost of the plant and all expenses from the tukiiig of the cutting. This may or may i:ot be of value to you. You may be able to do it for less and, again, it might cost you more. A. F. J. B. ASTEBS FROM SEED. I am going to plant about 1,000 aster plants next spring. Will you please tell me how much seed to buy? What colors shall I plant? The variety will be Crego and I wish to grow fancy stock. How many good flowers will this variety average per plant? Could 1 make two sowings, so as not to have all of them coming on at the same time? When shall I sow to have flow- ers by August 1? K. C. An ounce of aster seed of good qual- ity should give 4,000 plants. In order to have an ample supply, I would sow half an ounce. Be sure to buy the best quality of seed; it is always the cheap- est in the end. You can make several sowings if necessary. Make the first about March 15 and a later one at the end of April. The first sowing will flower by August 1. If you want extra early flowers, make a sowing of Queen of the Earlies about the middle of Feb- ruary. White is the best selling color among asters; next in popularity come pink and lavender. For dark blue and red the demand is limited. C. W. Edward Winklef'i Caraatioo, Morning Glow. Tampa, Fla.— An Easter lily plant with twenty-six blooms has been an at- traction in the window of the seed store of Crenshaw Bros. It was from a bulb grown in Florida. Edinburg, Ind.— It is not yet a year since the greenhouse and dwelling of Mrs. Thos. Woodard burned down, but everything is rebuilt, business is good and conditions better than ever. 14 The Florists^ Review Januauv 28, 1015. Joseph H.

The achyranthes plants were the first to show the effects and looked as if they haa been frosted. Then other plants suffered and now the ferns have commenced to curl and turn brown. I have changed the 30il, but with no better results. I have been quite particular about the watering. O. E. H. CaJIas. The calla plants are now thoroughly rooted in the pots and, as they are gross feeders, need liquid manure at least once a wieek and in addition a top-dressing of fine bone or similar fer- tilizer. It is surprising how these top- dressings bring the roots up to the sur f aca. and how greedily the;^ aeem to devour the plant food applied. It need hardly be said that, given good drain- age, there is little likelihood of callas being overwatered. The Godfrey calla, once grown, is sure to displace in a large measure the old ^thiopica. It is pure white in color and much more floriferous. It is necessary, however, to get strong plants before its real free-blooming qualities are apparent. Ulacs. Of course the pot-grown lilacs are the only ones really adapted for forc- ing. Those from Holland are arriving later than usual this season. Occa- sional plants are seen in bloom as early as Christmas, but the average florist will find them of more value later in the season. It is yet much too early to start plants for Easter, but it is wejl to h«ve a few plants Tit flower be- fore that time. For early forcing it id an advantage to start lilacs in a hot, moist and dark shed or pit, but after this time it is just as well to place them in the warmest greenhouse at once. Spray freely and the plants will soon start to grow. Move them into a temperature of 50 to 52 degrees at night as the flowers develop, to give them substance. Marie Legraye and Mme. Lemoine are the best white varieties. Michael Buchner, Ludwig Spath and Charles X are fine colored varieties for forcing. It often happens that florists have a few unsold plants which are set out in the field. After a couple of years these become well budded again, and, if put in large pots, boxes or tubs be- fore the ground freezes, or lifted even now during an open spell of weather, they will give a fine lot of flowers for cutting. Stand them in a doorway not generally in use in winter or in some other place where they will not inter- fere with other plants. Bhododendrons. That beautiful rhododendron. Pink Pearl, and its nearly white companion, White Pearl, are unquestionably away ahead of all other rhododendrons for forcing purposes. The trouble is that they are as yet somewhat high-priced for. the average florist, who can se- cure good .plants of the older rhodo- dendron hybrids for at least half their price. The rhododendrons do not sell freely, like azaleas, but there is, never- theless, a fair call for them, particu- larly those having pure white, pink or lavender shaded flowers. It is too early to start them for Easter, but plants can be stood in a cold house in readiness. Place a few in heat with the lilacs. If you have a trade in flowering plants, which all should try to have, they will prove a useful addi- tion. GLOXINIAS AND BEGK)NIAS.

It is unlikely that benzine or tur- pentine used in asphaltum paint would injure greenhouse plants, since they would evaporate in a short time after being applied.

There is an old saying to the effect that confession is good for the soul — and The Review has this week to con- fess that an. old friend has "put one over", on this paper, his previous re- liability permitting a report of cuts to get into print without the scrutiny it should have had. Because the figures published last week as the cut of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, were preposterous on their face, M.

" We are in need of some advice. There is a lot of rust on our carnation plants. It only bothers one kind. Enchantress. What can we do to stop it, or at least check itt We have been careful not to water overh^ud during the winter and only on bright days early in the fall. In fact, we need to water or spray for red spider, but cannot do so on account of rust. What can we spray with to get rid of red spider, or can we get rid of it without spraying? The other varieties in the same houses aro free from rust, but we are afraid the trouble will spread. Do angleworms in the benches do any harm? We have noticed in the morning the little holes where they had come up at night. 8. B. While spraying is sometimes the cause of the appearance of rust, and excessive spraying is no doubt in- jurious to carnations during the winter months, yet it is not always the cause of this trouble, nor will abstinence from spraying insure immunity from this disease. Excessive watering at the roots or a heavy mulch, either of which will cause excessive moisture in the atmosphere and even foulness, will start the trouble. It has also been stated that excessive humus in the soil will aggravate the trouble, and this sounds reasonable. Most growers make a practice of syringing their carnations with a sharp spray from the hose once each week, if the weather is at all flf. That is usu- ally enough to keep away red spider. Sprajdng with Bordeaux mixture helps to keep spider in check. One of the best remedies I have ever run across is the following: Take one-half pound of arsenic and five pounds of white sugar. Mix them dry. Then add enough water to make a thick syrup. Mix one drug ounce to one gallon of water and spray through your com- pressed air sprayer. By adding nicotine at the same rate as you use for aphis, this remedy will also be found eflPective against thrips. While angleworms are not especially injurious to plants unless they are present in large numbers, yet they are of no benefit either. You can clear them out with a top-dressing of air- slaked lime, watered in. A. F. J. B. IT IS DRY ROT. We are enclosing some carnation plants which are badly diseased. What is the diseasp and how can it be checked? The plants were grown out- side, with the usaal treatment, and two of the benches were planted between August 1 and 10. It is only in these two benches that the plants are af- fected. We used for these two benches some soil in which we had grown one crop of fairly good carnations, losing about twenty or twenty-five plants during the winter of 1913-14, apparently from stem-rot or something of that sort; otherwise the plants were all right. With the old soil we mixed a liberal quantity of cow manure and the plants started nicely. We lost a few plants at that time, about one per cent, but did not see any sign of disease until about the middle of October, when the Beacons began to wilt slightly. We used air-slaked lime, dusting all the plants with it, and kept the plants on the dry side, but this did not do much Emll C Bfucker. (TresBurer Buffalo Florists' Clu»>.)

The plants submitted are undoubt- edly affected by the disease commonly known as dry rot, which in all prob- ability was caused by planting in the old soil. You can do little more to check it than you have already done, except to spray thoroughly with Bor- deaux mixture. Running them dry would not help matters any; in fact, it might work harm if carried to ex- cess. Under such conditions, a plant needs all the encouragement possible to make growth, ana a fair amount of moisture is essential to this. Do not propagate from the plants in these benches, as you would be likely to carry the disease over to next season by doing 80. Use only new soil in the future. A. F. J. B. hear from you.

I want to grow carnations in a lean- to house which is part of a range of vegetable houses. One side of the lean- to is five feet high, the other about seven feet high. It is heated at the sides and ends. The watering would be done by the hose. Can I use ground benches with good results? Please state, also, what varieties of carnations would be likely to do well in this lo- cality, seven miles south from the cen- ter of Toledo, O. S.R. There is no reason why you should not grow first-class carnations in that lean-to house, provided the light and ventilation are good. It is, of course, needless to tell you that the house should get a fair amount of sunlight, or oijly inferior quality will result. If the sides of the' houses are boarded up to the eaves, then by all means raise your beds, but if there is glass in the sides, 80 that the sun will strike the plants, then the ground beds will answer well. Any of the standard sorts ought to prove satisfactory, as far as quality and production are concerned. Your own particular market should determine for you what varieties would prove most profitable for you. You can find out more by inquiring among the trade in your city than I could possibly tell you. However, in white I would sug- gest White Wonder, White Enchantress and Matchless. In flesh-pink I would recommend Pink Delight and Enchant- ress Supreme, as being superior to the old Enchantress. Gloriosa, Eose-pink Enchantress and Mrs. Ward are good in darker shades. Beacon, Champion and St. Nicholas in scarlet, Pocahontas in crimson. Yellow Prince in yellow and Benora in variegated.

I am sending some geranium foliage under separate cover. The plants seem to be diseased, and I should like to get some information in regard to the cause. The stock plants are growing well and the roots are healthy, but the cuttings will not do at all. w. A. a. The leaves were frozen on receipt, but showed ntkmerous small blotches, a common disease on geraniums. Per- haps you might get some information from an article ' on geranium disease which was written by R. A. Vincent, and which appeared in The Review of November 19, 1914, page 16. If the stock plants are healthy, some incorrect treatment is responsible for the cut- tingis taking disease. Too much humid- ity in the atmosphere is bad; so, also, is spraying the cuttings overhead. Geranium cuttings are naturally sappy and root with the least loss in a dry house. It is not easy without knowing more of the cultural conditions to tell why your cuttings have come diseased. C.

In a recent issue of The Review a correspondent inquired the best means of exterminating mosquitoes in water tanks. If he will examine the water in the tanks, he will find myriads of larva;, or "wiggle-tails." These, on emerging from the water, are full grown mosquitoes. Here in Georgia we have mosquitoes all the year around outdoors. During the hot months we put a mixture of kerosene and gas tar on the surface of the water. This forms an oily surface, through whicli the larvae cannot pass. I have also found muriate of potash effective, but I would not advise your correspondent to try either of these remedies, as the quantities needed would mean death to all plant life. If he can have a stream of running water in his tanks, he will not be troubled with mosquitoes, as they only breed in stagnant water. I have found it so by experience here. J. C. Armstrong. FLOWERS AT FUNERALS. In the attached clipping, from t!ie Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph of Jan- uary 18, you will note that in dis- cussing "The Funeral Services," be- fore the weekly session of the United Presbyterian ministers of the couuty January 18, the Rev. Clarence J. Wii- liamson, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church of New Brighton, denounced the present manner of con- ducting funerals by some ministers. He said "there should not be flowers in profusion," and closed by stating "that many funerals were simply carni- vals for florists and liverymen." I think, in behalf of the florists of the United States, we have a right to come back at a man that will make such statements and degrade a busi- ness as has the Rev. C. J. Williamson. And if there is a florist in New Brigh- ton, I hope he will have the backbone to call the reverend's attention to this one thing, that he has not the right to judge the things that God creates. The flowers are the smiles of God's beauty; they are not the creation of man. If the friends of the dead wish to buy flowers created by God and cared for by his servant, man, to show their respect and to ease the sorrow of the be- reaved, no minister of the gospel cnn find between the lids of the Holy Bible the law given by God to call the flo- rists' business a carnival and belittle the honest men in this business. This gentleman should look up the ten com- mandments and see where it eavs, "Thou Shalt not covet." I have been in the florists' business five years, and I grow just as nice flow- ers as my wisdom permits. I have 4,000 square feet of glass; I build 300 different designs; I do an honest busi- ness. It netted me $1,014.84 last year. I work eight hours each day for the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., as tel.?- graph operator, at a salary of $8(*4 per ye^r. I have honestly increased my salary. I sell flowers for funerals and any occasion for which the public demands them, and it is just as honest a living as preaching. In behalf of our business, I think we are entitled to come back at such statements. J. G. Gamble. LINCOLN AND WARD. Abe Lincoln read everything he could get his hands on that was worth reading, and some on the side that was not. He did so to benefit himself. If florists were a little more like Lin- coln they might pay similar dividends. I am sorry to say that many florists do not interest themselves in their trade papers as much as the good of their business requires. This paper circulates to 12,000 establishments and is no doubt read by three times as many people. After you read this just think how nice your ad would look if it occupied the same space. Not alone that, but a great many florists wouh' know of you and whatever you have for sale. All that is vital in the flo- rists' business is contained in these journals. If they were suppressed for a year, the loss to florists would be enormous; and you would see some tall scrambling for business material, you can bet your sweet life. It is better to be bathed in intelli- gence than to go dirty in the igndrance called bliss. The most appropriate IRIS SUITABLE FOR SOUTHWEST. There are thousands of homes scat- tered all over the dry farming regions of the great west and there is a great demand for flowers, but it is hard to find any that will live there. After years of testing, however, we have found what is needed. The resplendent iris fills the bill. We have had im- mense quantities go through the driest seasons known without losing a plant. Arizona has the most trying climate for flowers, yet Prof. J. J. Thorn - ber, of the University of Arizona, writes that he has known these plants to grow on the dry mesas in that scorching sun, where the rainfall is exceedingly scant. In the heavy red day soil in the cemetery of one of the larger Arizona mining towns, irises are much planted and succeed beyond ex- pectation. When established there, they grow and blossom year after year with little care. They have come to be known to the children there as Easter lilies. I know of no other flower that would thrive -so well under the same trying conditions. Mrs. Jennie Dean, of the Dean Iris Gardens, of Monita, Cal., is probably the best informed person on the iris in America, and she is demonstrating the fact that this flower is wonderfully adapted to California. It can be so nourished by winter rains that with good cultivation it will go in triumph John F. Cowell.

We often dig them for shipment in August. The ground is as dry as pow- der, yet the roots have gathered the moisture and hold it so that they are fresh and fleshy, ready to take hold as soon as planted. It is the German, or rhizomatous group which thus suc- ceeds. The water iris, the Siberian and J&pan,' will not endure hot, dry weather so well. C. S. Harrison. SCHIZANTHUS FOLIAGE DYING. Under separate cover we have sent a plant of our schizanthus. As you will see, the leaves are turning white at the edges, and-in a short time they will die. We have a large number of 6-incl» plants of these, and are anxious to know the cause and the remedy for the failing foliage. We grow the plants as cool as possible, 45 degrees at night, but in the daytime the tempera- ture goes up to 70 degrees. Any in- formation you can give us will be much appreciated. J. B. It looks as though the foliage had been injured by fumigation. Schi- zanthus foliage is delicate, and the use of tobacco stems or hydrocyanic acid gas would cause the scorching of the leaves. If grown cool and carefully watered, schizanthus is of easy culture. Either fumigation or an overdose of some chemical fertilizer is the most likely cause of the burning. C. W. HABEBMEHL'S HANDSOME HOME. When J. J. Habermehl's'Sons, then the leading uptown florists of Phiia- «lelphia, invaded the downtown district by opening a flower shop in the Belle- vue-Stratford, there was much hea«i- shaking. They had done well uptown, but it would be quite a different thing downtown, it was said. The Haber- mehls did not seem alatmed; they just went ahead and sewed wood. If it was hard work at first, they never said s6. Then came Founders' week, with its immense possibilities for original work, turned into a triumphant success by these enterprising brothers. Their abil- Front of New Store of J. J. Habermebrs Sons, iPhiladefphia. ity to handle any kind of decoration was .established beyond peradventure. By this time the Habermehls discovered that Philadelphia is the only city in the world where everything — railroads, ho- tels, shops, theaters, residences, stock exchange, courts — have one center, Broad and Chestnut streets. They soon opened another store, the Orchid Flower Shop, in Kugler's restaurant. Now they have added still another, the third within two blocks, the fourth in all. This new shop was opened last week in the new addition to the Kitz-Carlton hotel. The illustrations, both of the exterior and the interior, are so <;ood that no description is needed.

Please note the following analysis and state whether the water is adapted for our use in greenhouses filled with Kil- larney roses, carnations, snapdragons, lilies, etc., and the different kinds of potted plants. We drilled a well and obtained a water supply which we can- not exhaust at thirty barrels per hour, and which we are using in our green- houses. We have had a sample ana- lyzed and the laboratory analysis is as follows: Sanitary analysis — ^Free ammonia, 2.35 parts per million; albuminoid am- monia, .45 parts; chlorine, 560 parts; nitrites, none; nitrates, none; sul- phates, none. Mineral analysis — -Silica, 1.17 grains per U. S. gallon; iron and aluminum oxides, a trace; calcium car- bonate, 7.71 grains; magnesium car- bonate, 2.46 grains; sodium chloride, 53.87 grains; sodium carbonate, 19.38 grains; loss on ignition, 2.10 grains; total solids, 86.69 grains. If this water is not suitable for our use, is there anything that we could add to it that would counteract the hurtful qualitiesf We shall greatly ap- preciate you opinion, and possibly there are other growers who are up against the same trouble. J. C. W. So far as the use of the water in the greenhouse is concerned, the only 'indication of its being injurious to plants, as shown by the analysis, is in the amount of common salt, or chlo- ride of sodium, which is given as 53.87 grains per gallon. While a single, or even an occasional application of wa- ter containing that amount of salt might . not be noticeably injurious to most plants, the effects would be cumu- lative, and long before the plants had reached their growth serious injury would result and the plants might even be killed outright, unless great care is taken in the use of the water. The effect would be not uulike what has happened in some of the irrigated regions in (California and other western states, where, as a result of the ex- cessive use of water on the land, the alkali with which the water was charged has accumulated in the surface soil to such an extent that only salt- loving plants will grow. The sanitary analysis also indicates that the water is dangerous for drink- ing purposes. The following parts are found per million: Free ammonia, 2.35; albuminoid ammonia, .45; chlo- rine, 560. Sanitary authorities agree that when water contains, per million parts, more than .08 part of free am- monia and .10 part of albuminoid am- monia, it should be looked on with sus- picion, and if in addition it contains more than 71.4 parts of chlorine per million it is a clear indication of the presence of sewage, decaying organic matter, etc., and it should be con- demned for drinking purposes. The sample in question contains nearly thirty times as much free ammonia and four and one-half times as much al- buminoid ammonia as is safe, to say nothing of eight times as much chlorine as is allowable in drinking water.

The Horists' Review CONNECTICUT CONCRETE BENCH. In The Review for December 24 ap- peared an - article about concrete benches in reply to an inquiry from a subscriber, whether they were satis- factory or 'not. We have had consid- erable experience both in building and in using concrete benches and are more than willing to give anyone the benefit of our experience. We have used solid concrete benches for the last six years, raised benches for only about two. We find both styles of bench give fully as good satisfac- tion as wood, either for carnation or rose growing. The larger part of our roses are grown on concrete benches, and we are replacing our wooden car- nation benches with concrete as fast as they need replacing. We have on our place now about 5,000 lineal feet of concrete bench and feel safe in saying that we plan to use concrete in pref- erence to wood hereafter. All of our solid benches are built on one general plan, and as it has given perfect satisfaction for the last six years we continue to use -it. In our last two rose houses, each 35x200 feet, we are using solid benches throughout. In one house the benches are sixteen inches high and are the least expensive W6 have yet constructed. The sides are four inches thick, as shown in the sketch, and are made of ten parts of ashes as taken from the boiler, not screened, to one part of cement. On top of this 4-inch work we put our regular sideboard, two inches thick and six inches high, using a miYturfl of three parts of screened ashes and^^ope, part of cement "^" "' _-:_«— >w > the planks. The planks are 2x10x36 inches and are reinforced with two pieces of 5-16-inch round iron. We use a mixture of eight parts screened ashes to one of cement for all parts of the bench. The legs are 4x4 inches, not reinforced, and the bed pieces are 4x4 inches reinforced. The sides of these benches are the same as those used in our solid benches and are put on after the bench is set up. Having a continuous side in this way gives strength, as it holds everything rigid. Our forms are crude. For planks, we use 1x2 strips nailed together and laid on a smooth board floor. For legs and bed pieces, we use two 4-inch boards about twenty feet long and put blpcks between at the desired length. We estimate the cost of this bench to be the same as stated by J. L. Johnson in the issue of January 7; that is, $25 worth of concrete will build as many linear feet of bench as the same value in wood. As to the different Id vti vo + •;. ^-r-^ STONE5 I J. /Ph SOIL ^r, I ^4" lo Taylor's Concrete Solid Bench. We use no reinfor^-N items of expense, cement costs us 34 ment whatever. The 4-inch work is not-: tamped, but left as porous as possible; the 2-inch work is tamped with a small stick, merely to make it smooth. The bench is filled with field stone to the top of the 4-inch concrete and covered with one inch of ashes. In our other rose house the first bench is sixteen inches high and each successive bench about three inches higher, the last one being about twenty-six inches high. As before stated, these benclies have been in use about six years and we have had no repairs whatever. Owing to the scarcity of stone, we are now filling our solid benches with ashes, . pnd we think they are fully as good. As to our raised benches, we are using a bench materially different from the Chicago bench and, I think, differ- ent from the one described in the issue of January 7. I have seen Poehlmann's benches, and, while they are much heavier and, of course, stronger than the ones we have, I do not see how they can give any longer or better service. The first cost must be, as he states, fully double. We have just three members in our bench — ^legs, bed, or cross-piece, and cents per bag?" iron for reinforcement, $25 per ton. The ashes, we figure, cost only the expense of screening. Our forms have not cost us -over $5 and we still have them. The cost of erecting is not more than, if as much as, that of erecting a wooden one. If M. B. S. would like any further information, I shall be glad to give any he may want. Edw. J. Taylor. ANOTHER KIND OF BENCH. Pennanency the Object. The old adage, "Wha* is worth "do- ing, is worth doing well," certainly ap- plies to greenhouse construction. Where other things are equal, permanency should be a desirable feature, for, added to the expense of repairs, there are many unpleasant and costly ex- periences leading up to the time of necessary repairs. The life of a wooden greenhouse bench is perhaps seven years. If a bench can be built as cheaply to last for thirty years with- out repairs, then what excuse for the former! In building two houses last year, each 35x140, the one thing always in mind was permanency. As a result several florists have told me that they are the best constructed houses, in every detail, they ever saw. The posts are 4-inch boiler tubes set in concrete three feet and built in an 8-inch concrete wall two feet high and filled within fifteen inches of the top with concrete. In the top of each post, set in concrete, are two %xl%-inch steel bars, sixteen inches long, bent like an inverted L, with their backs to- gether and the outer ends bent up one and one-half inches. These were set to a form, fitted to the pipe, so that they formed a bracket just the width of the gutter-plate. A hole was drilled through the short angle, through which a short, heavy spike was driven into the edge of the gutter-plate. This holds the gut- ter-plate absolutely solid in every way without affording a lodging place for water to cause decay. The part ex- tending into the top of the post- and held by the concrete would be perhaps nine inches long, depending upon the width of the plate. Fifteen inches of the lower ends of all sashbars were boiled twenty minutes in oil and were nailed to the gutter-plate with tenpenny ,^!?<>PPcr nails. All supports and purlins ,^^iX^ of pipe. The lower ends of supports are protected by a cone of concrete brought Well above the ground line. Framoworic for Benches. The posts of all benches are 1-inch pipe set in twelve inches of concrete and filled with the same. The posts are four feet apart. The crosspieces form- ing the bottom of the bench, also 1- inch pipe, are attached to the post by means of split tees. In order to re- lieve the strain on the tees, a quarter- inch hole was drilled in the posts, by means of a chain drill, into which was driven a heavy wrought nail, the head of which affords a rest for the tees. The posts extend above the crossbars the depth of the bench. Inside of them the side-beards are fastened by means of purlin clips. Thus the sideboards can be easily removed, when they give out. Taking a 5-foot bench as a basis, eight cypress stringers, 1x2^4 inches, were laid on the crossbars, lengthwise of the bed, the ends tacked together so they would remain on edge, and evenly spaced. On these stringers was spread wood veneer one-tenth inch in thick- ness. The veneer is the same as is used for handles on common market baskets. On this temporary bottom was spread one inch of concrete com- posed of two parts of soft coal ashes, such as rattled throtigh a %-inch grate, two parts of sand and one part of cement, mixed to the consistency of paste and leveled. This was then reinforced with No. 9 galvanized wire every four inches, dropped into grooves rT7Tr^7^'i.,'w r^'fJT-cy ■ 24 The Florists' Review JANUABY 28, 1915. made with the corner of a board and then given a final smoothiQg. la say three hours, when partly set, this was cut into blocks. For benches desired for carnations and roses, veneer should be cut one foot wide and separated with 1-inch lath, one-fourth inch thick. Then trowel the concrete to the lath. When the con- crete is partly set, remove the lath. This affords proper drainage. As to Cost. Now, as to cost, a bench 5x140 re- quires twelve sacks of cement and can be laid by two men easily in nine hours. My son and I laid side benches forty inches wide and 190 feet long in a short January day. To add to their durability, all pipes were thoroughly covered with linseed oil and painted. The moisture that may leak through, catches the edges only, where it dries out quickly. The concrete is shaped around the posts well above the ground line, to make for per- manency at that point. Viewing these benches at . short range with our long- range "specks," we firmly believe these benches will be benches in thirty years, without repairs or cuss words in the meantime. As stated, the side-boards c&n be eas- ily removed. These benches harbor neither insects nor fungi, are smooth and exceedingly, porous, holding lots of moisture , im reserve, and afe quite strong. The . cross-wires hold in place any piecve^ that may be cracked by rough usage. We believe, everything considered^ that this is the last word in a greenhouse bench. The concrete benches as usually built are too clumsy and too expensive. Where the sides of benches are concrete, much valuable space is wasted. Anticipating some inquiries, I will here say that the veneer may be beech or maple. It adds no strength to the bench and serves only to hold the con- crete in place until hard. -In making a bench over forty inches wide, I would advise using the veneer in two pieces, having it slightly, more than half the width of the bench, so that it will lap in the middle. In this way a perfect fit is secured along the side-boards. This veneer, I think, could be furnished at about $6 per thousand square feet, and could be shipped in rolls. Wire for reinforcing can be secured of any wire company, cut to length desired. A word about concrete mixture, par- ticularly in regard to the formula. The writer has had forty years' experience in the use of coal ashes in concrete and would not now dream of using concrete without them. There is no question about the superiority of the concrete containing ashes. For walks, floors, walls and everything else, it has no equal for durability. It never dusts out in spots from wear, like sand con- crete. Once used, always used. Where hard service is required, I would make the formula 1^, 1% and 1. S. C. Templin. HIGH LIFE FOR SOW BUGS. The average florist, knows th^ good things of this world — none of the'simple life for him; he sets his table with all of the season's delicacies. Why, then, should he expect cut worms to accept a diet of brao in preference to succulent young growths? As a matter of fact, bran is a failure as a lure for any pest one seeks to poison. Corn meal is what should be used to entice the cut worms, according to the experience of Frank Felke, whose experi- ence is worth repeating, since so many growers still have trouble. While Mr. Felke used bran in his poison mash his stock was devastated. Carnations, mums, pansies — indeed, about everything he grew — seemed to appeal to the palate of the destroyer more potently than did the prepared food. Watching his colony of unwelcome boarders steadily increase, Mr. Felke concluded to set a Better table for them, so he tried poinoning corn meal. The destruction was won- derful. Never since then has he had a visitation of cut worms , biit that he promptly got the upper hand. ' ' Use corn meal, mix it with Paris green, just enough to color; at nightfall scatter among the infested plants; don't water for six or eight hours before or after and you will have no further trouble from cut worms," he says. Rye flour is a delicacy much relished by sow bugs, sometimes called wood lice; according to Mr. Felke, the little pigs will gorge themselves with it, if it has been sweetened to their taste, and roll up and die of the poison also in- cluded. He uses two parts rye flour, two parts sugar and one part Paris green, mixing only so much as is to be used at one time, as it deteriorates if it stands any length of time. The mix- ture is scattered along the top of the edge-board of the bench in the evening,, being carefuj to see that the board is , dry, else the mixture will become lumpy and unpalatable to even the most voraci- ous of sow bugs. "Try it," says Mr. Felke, "and you will be surprised to find how many it will kill; you wouldn 't have believed there were that many on your place." PINCHING BACK VmCA ROSEA.

Veendam, Holland. — Attention is be- ing drawn to the fact that supplies of young fruit trees and like stock, now imported by United States nurserymen from France, may be obtained from this region in case the old source is closed. Brussels, Belgium. — The trade in flow- eiE from Nice, in ordinary years a most active one, has ceased entirely. The blooms offered by local growers are scattered over the graves of the Bel- gian soldiers who have died in the hos- pitals. Oostdunkerke, Belgiiun.— Em. Draps- Boudry, whose presence as a refugee in London was reported in The Review for January 21, has returned to try to put to rights his greenhouses here. The houses in which he grows American carnations are now safe from bombard- ment. Four bombs fell in the estab- lishment, shattering all the' lights. An- other fell only two yards from the resi- dence, but, fortunately, failed to ex- plode. , . Scarborough, England. — During the recent raid on the coast a German warr ship dropped a shell in one of Walshaw & Son's houses. The fatalities were many, among the Easter lilies. Edinburgh, Scotland. — In their 1915 book Dobbie & Co. say: "Since the war started we have not reduced our expenditure by a single sovereign. We are keeping things going on the old lines, and in the catalogue we now send you we have concentrated on Brit- ish produce, supported by French and American. Haarlem, Holland. — There still are large quantities of bulbs on hand through the district, and it develops there is great irregularity in the prepa- rations for next season. Some grow- ers have cut down their area, but oth- ■ers have planted as large a part as possible of their surplus. The outlook is highly uncertain. Paris, France. — The association of re- tail florists of Paris passed resolutions declaring that the organization should remove from the membership list any- one employing a German, and boycott any concern receiving supplies from Germany. The association also forbade members, under pain of expulsion, to deal in lilies of the valley, as essen- tially a German product, but this ban was raised when it was found that some growers in France cultivated the pips and that they were also to be had from neutral sources with a guaranty of origin. ? w^5* Jr.' -Mfl; W?.'7ir^ . ^» r*- A i" "^ ^^> .■TvwMw*ir?\T^frT;7'i;^j7^^ rf-*---'-^fTr!- 5( ^"S*^ *■!, Jakitaby 28, 1915. The Florists' Review 25 SEPTEMBER MOBN. It is safe to say that a large propor- tion of tlie readers, on noticing the title of this article, thought at once of the already rather well known new rose, September Morn, and not of the much exhibited, much discussed picture which bears the same name. Or, if the thoughts strayed at first to the picture, they immediately jumped from the pic- ture to the rose, with ^ that unbeatable nimbleness of which thoughts are capa- ble. As applied to the rose, the name seems to be a catchy one and it is also appropriate. Not being an art critic, the writer does not presume to say whether the name fits the famous pic- ture or not, but it apparently does fit the rose. All the poets, you know, from Milton down, have spoken of the * ' rosy morn, "or the * ' rosy d&^n. ' ' And the color of ihis , rose, according to the raiser's descriptioUj is "an ex- quisite shadeof light flesh pink on the outer petals,, shading to pure rose pink in the center, with a faint touch of deep golden' yellow at the "base of the petals." Arieri't those shades and tints of pink suflBciently like the hues of morn — of runriset The rose is shown in the illustration, to such extent as a: rose can be shown in black and white. It was originated by Henry W. Turner, of Montebello, Gal., who has made this bold statement about it: "We confidently prophesy that it will fill the same place for the rose growers that Enchantress did for the carnation growers." Then he pro- ceeds to show on what grounds he bases his confidence. If he does not over- estimate the rose's merits, he has rea- son for his great expectations. C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., and S. J. Reuter & Son, of Westerly, R. I., are aiding Mr. Turner in the dissemination of the rose. MARECHAI* NIEL NOT FLOWERING I have some Marechal Niel roses which have been growing in one of m\' houses for three years, without bloom- ing. The roses are planted in a raised concrete box a foot deep, at the back wall in a rose house, with good drain- age and with heating-pipes underneath. The plants are perfectly healthy, with strong roots and heavy growth. I gave them a good drying in July and Au- gust, but have got only a few flowers. I have dried them oflf again in the last six weeks and the canes are now almost without leaves, but are health}^ and have good buds. How can I make them flower, or must I give It up? I be- lieve a temperature of u8 degrees is too high for this rose when it rests. T. N. they have, that they will favor us with their experience. Rosa canina, B. Banksiae, R. Manetti and R. Carolina are the stocks which have proved most useful. G. W. GREEN FLY ON ROSES. Will you please tell me what will kill the green fly on my greenhouse roses? The plants are only a little larger than when I put them in the benches. The green bugs seem to work on the under side of the leaves or on the tender growth. I have sprayed with tobacco solution, sprayed with water containing a few drops of peppermint oil and smoked with nicotine papers, but all without success. E. E. K. I think the principal cause of your lack of success is that mentioned at the end of your query, viz., too high a temperature. You cannot successfully force this rose unless you give it a rest with a low temperature for at least a few weeks. This may not be practi- cable if you are growing other tender plants with it, but if you could let the house freeze for even a week or two, it would greatly improve the prospect for flowers. G. W. CHEROKEE ROSE AS A STOCK. I intend putting out from 7,000 to 10,000 rose stocks in February, to bud vn in September. The Gherokee, white, is common in this part of Texas and grows like a house afire. It was intro- duced from the southeastern states years ago. Gan I not use this for bud- ding on? F. A. D. I ha^ never used the Gherokee rose ns a s^MJIlL,. Perhaps some Review read- ers mdy nave done so and I hope, if Any of the nicotine solutions or pa- pers on the market will kill green fly if properly applied. The directions that accompany these preparations gen- erally provide for a strong enough dose to have the desired effect. If the houses are heated by steam, the nicotine solution can be painted on the center pipe in the evening after the ventilators are closed, at the rate of an ounce to 4,000 cubic feet of air space, for the usual forty per cent solu- tion. Then, if the plants get a good syringing the next day, the pest will usually be cleaned out for the time, but sometimes it is advisable to re- peat the operation the following night. After that, an application once in one or two weeks should keep the place clean. If the houses are heated by hot wa- ter, the extract may be evaporated on small alcohol stoves that are manufac- tured for this purpose, or the fumigat- ing can be done with nicotine papers. If these are used according to the di- rections accompanying them, they should give the same results. W. J. K. H. W. Turner's New Rose, September Mom. 26 The Florists' Review Jandabt 28, 1016. Vegetable Forcmg QUANTITY OF SEED POTATOES. I have a piece of land, 60x95 feet, which I intend to plant with potatoes. Will you tell me how much land there is and how many pounds of seed po- tatoes will be required to plant it, run- ning the drills two and one-half feet apart and allowing fifteen inches be- tween the potatoes in the rows? My location is south-central Massachusetts. H. M. M. Your piece of ground comprises about an acre and a fifth, viz., 5,700 square yards, an acre being 4,840 square yards. The quantity of seed potatoes needed will depend much upon the size of sets cut. 'You will need about 13,800 sets per acre. If these are cut to a single eye, ten bushels of seed per acre wiU suffice. If cut with two eyes, a proportionately larger quantity will be needed. I would advise making the rows three feet apart and planting the sets twelve inches apart in the rows. In your latitude you will find Green Mountain the best main crop potato. Aroostook Pride and Irish Cobbler are useful as early varieties. C. W. CUCUMBEBS IN USTTUCE HOUSE. I want to grow cucumbers in the early spring and summer. I shall have a house, 32x200, empty about March 1 and wish to plant them at that time. I want to plant the seed in pots and then set the seedlings in the ground. At what temperature should they be kept? What pests trouble them most! The house is used for forcing lettuce and has fine lettuce soil. F. 'Gt'i \ •■'' I Cucumbers require a night tempera- ' ttire of 60 to 65 degrees in winter. In punimer this can be increased advan- tageously. During the daytime the temperature can be allowed to run up to 95 or 100 degrees with sun, and, pro- vided the plants are sufficiently moist at the roots and the atmosphere con- tains plenty of moisture, they will take no harm. Violent fluctuations in tem- perature must be guarded against at all times. Among the pests and diseases which trouble cucumbers are the following: Green and black aphis. This must be kept in control by frequent fumiga- tion. Where steam is used it is easy to evaporate some nicotine liquid on the pipes. Cucumbers will not stand heavy fumigation. Root-gall is some- times troublesome; sterilization or thor- ough freezing of the soil is the best cure. A small mite that attacks the under surfaces of the leaves can be controlled by persistent use of the hose, using a fine spray nozzle when direct- ing it. Some of the oil and soap sprays are also use'ful. Red spider will not appear unless the atmosphere has be- come too arid. Once it appears it is a hard pest to control; the jalants at- tacked are usually ruined. Mildew is the fungoid disease to be dreaded. Un- sanitary conditions breed it. Keep a nice, buoyant atmosphere. Avoid cold drafts and a close but too cold house. Soiled sulphur or powdered sulphur, applied to the foliage through a pow- der bellows, is the best remedy. With fire heat at your disposal when cold, damp spells of weather occur, mildew should not trouble you. The soil for cucumbers must be rich. Add plenty of well rotted cow or horse manure to the soil. When the plants have set fruit freely, a mulch of cow manure will prove beneficial; it also prevents the soil from drying out so rapidly. • C. W. MILDEW ON LETTUCE. We have lettuce about half grown, some of the leaves of which have yel- low spots on them, and the under sides of the leaves are shrunken and have white, moldy spots on them. Can you tell us the cause of this? There are few if any insects on the plants. We have not fumigated to excess. The weather has been cold and dark during the last two weeks; could that be the cause? This trouble is spreading all over our houses. S. & K. I am afraid your plants are attacked by mildew. This usually comes from violent changes in temperature, care- less ventilation and an atmosphere too heavily charged with moisture at night. When once the plants are badly at- tacked, you can do little toward sav- ing them. By boiling sulphur in the house you can get it under partial con- trol. Your lettuce should have a minimum temperature of 45 to 48 de- grees; if higher, it is too warm. A rise of 10 degrees can be allowed on dark days, and 15 degrees when it is clear. Lettuce soil should be light, rich, loose and porous. Heavy soil must be treated with sand or other gritty ma- terial. One soaking watering with a few surface dampings should carry a crop through. Hot or cold night tem- peratures, overwaterinjg and bad ven- tilation will soon cause mildevir to ap- pear. C. W. CLUB BOOT ON TOMATOES. We are enclosing some tomato roots with galls or knots on them. We want to plant another crop in the same soil in which these were grown, and, as we are not in a position to sterilize the soU with steam, we would like to know if there is any kind of gas we could use for sterilizing. We have seen in catalogues several things recommended for sterilizing soil for worms and mag- gots. Are these of any use for this kind of worm? J. J. C. & S. The roots are attacked by club root, also called club foot. Various remedies are suggested to take the place of ster- ilization with steam, but none, so far as my observation and experience have gone, have proved particularly success- ful. You cannot check this disease on your growing plants, and, if the trouble is acute, I would advise pulling up and burning the tomatoes. Then give the soil a good dressing of lime. Work this well into the soil, and plant some crop which is not attacked by club root: Lime is only a partial remedy. C. W. McKeesport, Pa. — Edward Frederick is planning to build some additional greenhouses. Canby, Ore. — Joseph Sutherland is erecting A'vgrconhouse, in which he will force vegetables for market. " I Denver, Colo. — Conrad Lengenfeldfer has obtained a permh; to erect a green- house at 3260 West Colfax street. It is to cost $2,000. Farmington, Mich. — Preparations for the erection of an addition to the Farm- ington Greenhouses are being made. It will be used as a plant house. College Point, N. Y.— Two large green- houses of the most modern construction are being added at the establishment of Anton Schultheis, on Nineteenth street. Tiffin, O. — Plans for new greenhouses are under consideration by the man- • agement of Ullrich 's Greenhouses. A representative of a Chicago construc- tion firm was here recently to confer with Edmund Ullrich on the subject. • Scranton, Pa. — Plans for an addition to the Cleland greenhouse in Nay Aug park, to cost $7,000, have been pre- pared by the William H. Lutton Co., of Jersey City, N. J. There were not sufficient funds to include the building of the greenhouse in the budget, and it is not known whether it will be recommended for the bond issue; so its erection is not j^et being definitely con- sidered. Baleigh, N. C— J. L. O'Quinn & Co. have obtained a permit to build a greenhouse on Swain street to cost $2,500. Kansas City, Mo. — E. L. Clemens •j Wild a good year in 1914, finds trade 'holding up well and plans to put up another house this summer. Denver, Colo. — W. C. Walker has ob- tained a permit to erect a greenhouse, to cost $3,000, on Columbine street, be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues. Media, Pa.— The King Construction Co., of North Tonawanda, N. Y., has been awarded the contract for the erec- tion of a greenhouse for the Glen Mills school. This structure is to cost $2,785. Columbus, O. — Plans have been com- pleted by Architect J. N. Bradford, of Ohio State University, and approved for a new greenhouse for the uni- versity, to cost in the neighborhood of $7,000. The greenhouses will be used for growing commercial vegetables and will be connected with the university heat- ing plant. Fairfield, la. — E. H. Montgomery has let to the John C. Moninger Co., Chi- cago, the contract for two iron-frame truss houses 29x209, to be heated by a battery of two Moninger cast-iron sec- tional hot water boilers. The benches will be constructed of pecky cypress with the exception of the legs, which will be made of a special glazed tile. H. M. Berner represented the John C.

Fulton, N. T. — Among the assets of the Fulton Flower Shop Co., which went into bankruptcy January 13, the most important seems to be 3,500 Hol- land bulbs, imported by Theodore Foederer, proprietor of the company, early in the season. Appraisers T. G. Spencer, Thomas F. P. Farrell and Delos A. Northrup are fixing the value. James W. Boyce has been appointed receiver of the concern. Bixmingliain, Ala.— The G. B. MeVay Seed Co. has been sold by its receiver, Dr. B. B. Mobley, to J. H. Purdue, with the .approval of the court. The company has been reorganized as the McVay Seed & Floral Co., and is ready for business at the old location, 2018 First avenue. The officers of the new company are: President, Dr. E. B. Mobley; vice-president, J. H. Purdue; secretary and treasurer, E. V. Harris. Of the capital stock, $10,000 has al- ready been paid in. Paris, Ky. — E. B. Hutchcraft, a wholesale seed dealer and a prosperous farmer up to the time he made his as- 9ignment to James McClure, cashier of the First National bank of Paris, fol- lowing the collapse of the Geo. Alexan- der & Co. state bank, of which he was a large creditor, has been declared a bankrupt by United States Commis- sioner Arthur Cox, of Cynthiana. At the time of Mr. Hutchcraft 's assign- ment certain creditors instituted pro- ceedings to force him into bankruptcy. The case was fought stubbornly and settled finally by the decision of the referee against him. Washington, D. 0. — Alleging that the Washington Florists' Co., 1408 H street, northwest, is insolvent and that it committed an act of bankruptcy in paying to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. $85.40, and to the Leo Niessen Co. $53.12, making them preferred credi- tors, a number of creditors of the con- cern January 23 filed a petition where- in they asked the Supreme court of the District of Columbia to adjudge it a bankrupt. Charles F. Diggs is the attorney for the petitioning creditors, whose names and claims are as ipl- lows: J. Louis Loose, Washington, D. C, $39,000, being the amount due on bonds of the company held by him, and $7,454 for interest thereon; T. F. Burroughs & Son, Alexandria, Va., $49.86; Benjamin Einstein, Washing- ton, D. C, $19.80; W. A. Smoot & Co., Alexandria, Va., $186.63, and Thomas Somerville Co., Washington, D. C, $5.97. It is alleged the total liabili- ties are $46,716. SOFT OOAI. SOOT. Kindly have one of your experts an- swer the following questions: Is soft coal soot of value as a fertili:;er? If so, what are the beneficial effects, es- pecially in regard to carnations and ferns f Should it be applied as a mulch or in the form of a liquid, and in what quantity for the best results? C. P. H. The analysis of soft coal soot shows that it contains no elements which are generally supposed to be needed by plants and are likely to be lacking in the soil. On the other hand, soot from wood fires, although largely made up of finely divided particles of carbon, contains about one per cent each of potash and phosphoric acid, and is a valuable fertilizer for plants of all kinds. However, the use of soot from soft coal really seems to benefit the growth of greenhouse plants, giving the foliage a darker color and improving the texture of the leaves and flowers as well as the strength of the stems. Just what the benefit is due to cannot be definitely stated. Soot may be mixed with the soil at the rate of a quart to a bushel, or it may be used as a top-dressing, using a pint to a square yard, or as a liquid application with either mineral or ani- mal manures at the rate of a pint to three gallons of water.

The leading shoots are the only cuttings from which there is certainty of getting symmetrical plants, and in order to get such shoots it would be necessary to cut out the top of your plant and then wait until the young growths reach a length of about four inches; these latter would be the cuttings. The cuttings should be planted singly in small pots filled with sand; they should be watered thoroughly and placed in a shaded prop- agating frame in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees. If properly cared for, these cuttings should root in eight to ten weeks, and may then be potted off in soil. Cuttings from the side branches have little value, from the fact that they seldom make shapely plants. W. H. T. Buffalo, N. Y.— A. C.

Bichard W. Allen. Eichard W. Allen, of Hudson, N. Y., whose death was reported in last week's obituary column, was born near Truro, Cornwall, England, April 10, 1848. He was the son of John Allen, for nearly seventy years gardener for Lord Falmouth. He served his ap-, prenticeship, starting at the age of 15, at Killion, England, at the Lyon House Gardens, London, and at the Eoyal Gardens, Windsor. Sailing for America, April 18, 1872, he engaged on his arrival with John Henderson, of New York. Later he was in the employ of David Woolford, at Catskill, and then of James Clarke, at Hudson. After working three years for B. L. Monell, James Clarke's suc- cessor, he went into partnership with William Brocksbank, who owned the Prospect Hill Nurseries. He married his partner's daughter. Miss Ida C. Brocksbank, September 3, 1877, and bought out his father-in-law in 1888. When he sold the nurseries to the city for cemetery purposes, he erected greenhouses on Green street, where he built up a large business. Mrs. Allen died in 1883, leaving one daughter, Edna, who survives her father. He is also survived by two brothers, William, in England, and John, of iPetroit, Mich., and two sis- ters, ABgeline and Fanny, both in Eng- land. I . B. W. Speece. B. W. Speece, for the last sixteen years in the florists ' business at Car- thage, Mo., died at his home January 18 from bladder trouble, from which he had suffered for the last three weeks. Mr. Speece was born in Dayton, O., nearly eighty-five years ago. When a young man he moved to Delphi, Ind., where he married Miss Nancy Jane Dull, October 27, 1859. In 1869 he moved to Carthage, Mo., and engaged in the grocery business. He later became a gardener and then owner and manager of the greenhouses on South Garrison avenue. He is survived by his wife and three children, Mrs. E. M, Pierson, of Webb City, Mo., and Miss Aura Speece and Karl A. Speece, of Carthage. Funeral services were held at the resi- dence January 19. Burial was in Park cemetery. Lucius King Mallock. Lucius King Mallock, who conducted a florists' business at Highland, N.

There have been many reports this winter of losses through illuminating gas /filtering into greenhouses as the result of the ground outdoors being frozen solidly. The colder the weather the more numerous these losses become. They rarely occur in summer. The question, "Is my growing stock taxable ? ' ' comes in with increasing fre- quency. Regretfully, it must be said that the courts generally hold that flo- rists' stock is assessable under the same laws as other personal property. Ap- parently a majority of the trade have been escaping assessment, but more and more are being assessed each year. The effort should be to obtain reasonable valuations rather than to escape alto- gether. Edward Winkler, Wakefield, Mass., last week sent The Review by parcel post a dozen blooms of his new seedling carnation, Morning Glow, a shade of pink that fits the name.

On the whole the quality of the carnations is excellent. There do not seem to be so many splits as was the case ear- lier in the winter. Aside from the decrease in the sup- ply of roses and the increase in the demand for carnations, the principal change in the market has had to do with bulbous stock. 'Jonquils have sold splendidly. The supply is large enough so that all orders can be filled, but sel- dom are many jonquils left in the ice- boxes when the closing hour comes. There has been a large increase in the receipts of tulips and considerable im- provement in the quality; stems are longer. The yellow varieties sell best. Also the retail stores are showing tu- lips in pans, supplied by the local greenhouses, not through the whole- sale market. Paper Whites are abun- dant. Freesia is more plentiful than has been the case, but it is selling splendidly. The supply of Easter lilies is erratic, some days large, some days light. There are so few callas that the buyers seem to have fp^gotten them and the light receipts are slow sale. The weather has been too severe for the wearing of flowers on the street. This always hurts the sale of violets; they are cleaned up only at extremely low prices. Cattleyas are in heavy supply and prices are too low for profit; everybody would be better off GREENHOUSE WINDSTORM INSURANCE FLOI(|AN D.

Only a few gar- denias are received in this market and the demand is not steady, except that a few stores use them regularly. The sweet pea is the principal corsage flow- er. The supply is increasing slowly. Good Spencer peas sell well, but it seems probable that the supply this season will not be so large as last spring, one of ,the largest growers of last year hav- ing planterl no peas this season. Stevia is disappearing. There is not much snapdragon or mignonette. The green goods situation remains un- changed. It should be noted, perhaps, that the city business has not increased greatly; the local buyers object strenuously to the rise in prices. The increase in demand comes from outside, from buy- ers who are no longer able to get enough stock at home. ITC,ST '"i-^s'cV"' 'T ■ JANUABX 28, 1015.

The Rorists^ Review GLOEKLER FLOWER REFRIGERATORS aioekler Fixtures in Store of A. W. Smith Co., Pittsburgh. THE essential part of the preservation of cut flowers is a cold, dry circula- tion of air. Tliat is the fundamental principle of Gloekler" Flower Refrigerators. It keeps the refrigerator sweet, clean and sanitary, and at the same time results iif a saving of ice consumption. It requires per- fect insulation to produce this condition, and the Gloekler method of reinforced cork insulation has b^en proven by<>.fBst the 6nly practical way of producing such a result. And then, the selling quality of the refriger- ator—that is a big point for consideration. These refrigerators display flowers so attractively that they almost sell them- selves. They are as valuable a,s an extra salesman in your store. Thej^^tesent an insistent argument to thc'c6st$mer to buy; but in an unobjectionable way. And, after all, the first aim of the florist is to sell. / • Gloekler Refrigerators are made of selected materials, finished to exactly harmonize with' your store interior, and completed with our own heavy, attractive hardwate. , "* Many splendid styles and sizes in stock for quick ship- ' ' ' ment.

His lecture, while lengthy, was much en- joyed by those present and at its con- clusion the audience joined in the sing- ing of "Auld Lang Syne." During the lecture some of the most familiar Scotch songs were rendered by Mr. An- derson, his rendering of "Loch Lo- mond" being vigorously encored. Mr. Vincent was tendered a rising vote of thanks by the club. Befreshments were served during an Intermission, after which a vaudeville show was staged. Charles Bird ren- dered some Scotch selections which wfere well worthy of mention. As a concluding number, the "Gardeners' and Florists' Quartette," consisting of Messrs. Bauer, Nuth, Hochstead, Thau and Kress, sang the famous German song, "Schnitzelbank, " under the lead- ership of Charles Peters, after which the evening came to an end. It was pronounced by all the best affair ever put on by the local club. The entertainment committee, of which F. C. Bauer is chairman, worked hard to get this affair in shape, and their efforts were successfully rewarded and appre- ciated by all those present. Various Notes.

Prices on roses have advanced, though not as much as in past seasons under similar condi- tions. The advance is most notice- able in the short grades of both white and pink. The fancy varieties and red and yellow are not suflBciently numer- ous to be relied upon for all orders; when, they can be had, they bring bet- ter prices, grade for grade, than pink and white. Beauties have advanced more than any of the other roses; the supply is decidedly smaller, though suf- ficient. The shortage in roses has helped carnations; here, too, the supply is less than a week ago. Bulbous flowers — daffodils, freesia, jonquils and Paper Whites — are plentiful and selling well at low prices. Tulips have arrived. La Beine, a single yellow, Mon Tresor I think, and the beautiful double orange Couronne d'Or, Violets are low, ex- tremely low, in price for the season. Sweet peas and mignonette are plenti- ful. A little sunshine will greatly help the former and bring in good crops of daisies and pansies. Long-stemmed yel- low and pink snapdragons are arriving. Orchids and gardenias are in excess of the demand. Easter lilies are in better demand. Out-of-town business is active. The Floracroft Greenhouses. Everybody knows that this place is famous for its valley and its Easter lilies. Perhaps that is the reason that Edward Ross thought it unnecessary to devote the short space of time at his visitor's disposal to these specialties. Instead he commenced with the ferns, BERGER BROS.

The total expenses divided by the square feet of bench room give the so-called overhead cost of operating each square foot for one year. The crop grown is charged with this expense plus the cost of biUbs or plants or seeds, and credited with the amount realized from the sales of that crop. The difference gives the profit or loss. Of course, a crop occupying a given space on the bench for two months will be charged for that time onlv. Various Nobds. Henry A.

Henry Egee, a well known florist of this city, fell on the ice near his home at Cynwyd while on his way to work January 25; death, probably due to heftrt failure, resulted almost imme- diately. Mr. Egee was well known as a jobbing or landscape gardener in this city maxtf foars ago. He had green- houses uptown and took charge of a large number of gardens in and around the city. Later he took charge of the retail department of the Robert Craig Co., where he remained for seven or eight years. He was well known to the vis- itors at Henry F. Michell Co., where he had charge of the front counter in the store. This position he held until the day of his death. Mr. Egee was about 60 years of age. He is survived by his wife and a daughter. The fu- neral was held January 28. Mrs. John R. Andre, wife of the well known rose grower, died at her home in Doylestown, Pa., January 24. She is survived by a son.

From a wholesale point of view the market is much better than it was a week ago. Looking at it from the re- tail side the improvement is not so apparent, as the change seems to be due more to a reduction in supply than to an increase in demand.' There has, no doubt, been considerable increase in the number of out-of-town orders, as these are always more numerous when the crops are light. ' City retail trade has not improved to any great degree, which leads one to believe that busi- ness is about the same with the out-of- town buyers, but that they are forced to send here for a larger part of their supply than they did earlier in the season. Prices naturally have advanced. Com- paring the sales of the last seven days with those of the corresponding seven days of last year, business seems to be more nearly normal than at any other time in .the last six months. Prices on roses are below those of last year, but the supply, though short, still is con- siderably larger thin a year ago. Car- nation prices were falling rapidly a year ago at this time, whereas they are now going up. While there has been a sharp reduc- tion in the aggregate quantity of stock coming on the market, there are still enough flowers to go around. The pos- sible exception is short roses. There has been a great increase in the amount of bulbous stock on the market. Easter lilies are scarce, and the demand for them is great. Violets are plentiful and the stock is really fine; the only complaint is that the demand will not take care of the cut. Sweet peas could be no better. The high death rate in Toledo during the last week has kept the florists busy. Various Kotes. The event that is keeping the florists thinking and hustling the most these days is the case in the Common Pleas , court of George Poulin versus the To- ledo Railway & Light Co. About four years ago Mr. Poulin, who is the driver on the wagon that makes the downtown run for Harry Heinl, was severely in- jured in a street-car accident. The ex- tent of the injuries sustained by Mr. Poulin can be imagined from the fact that he was confined in the hospital for seven months, and to this day can- not walk around without the use of Domestic Baskets NOW IN GREATER DEMAND FOR The Social Season «: Mall us your order early.

The company hired a moving- picture man to move into the house next to the Poulin residence, and each and every time that Mr. Poulin left the house without the use of his crutches, moving pictures were taken of him, to show that he was not totally disabled.

Peter Brown, Lancaster, Pa., the pansy specialist, says there will be no ddtrth of this popular flower even if there should be a shortage in gera- niums, which looks probable. D. E. Landis, Rock Glen, Pa., began buHiness as a florist and market gar- dener a few years back, with sash houses, and is now doing a floutishing .trade in stock grown in the Lord & Bumham latest models. He is assisted by two sturdy sons. The Holmes Seed Co., Harrisbul-g, Pa., was compelled to vacate its premises at short notice, owing to the Pennsylvania railroad changing the grade. Within a week the firm was in its new home, 106-108 South Second street, in time for holiday business, which was fieav- ier than usual. It is an excellent stand, both for wholesale and retail trade. Harry Holmes, Jr., withdrew from the Holmes Seed Co., Harrlsburg, to form the new house of Holmes-Lether- man Co., at Canton, O., whtie a gen- eral seed business will be conducted. George Horsman, traveler for the H^lmea Seed Co., Harrisburg, met with a severe accident recently, which neces- sitated a month 's nursing at home antl is likely to invalid him for some time. I am glad to say he is improving. Walter S. Behell, Harrisburg, com-, toe^nted on the impetus given tHe seed business by carrying poultry supplies, which practically create an all sea- son 's demand. From a small beginning he has worked up a trade of large pro- portions. T. J. Opperman, Camp Hill, Pa., spe- cializes in bedding and vegetable plants, filling the benches for spring sales immediately after the holiday trade is ov6r. He is of the opinion that miml^js^i^'A^^ the retailer can profitably advocate the larger planting of bulbs, in view of the tempting offers now being made by the Hollanders. C. E. Bossiter, Sunbury, Pa., had good results with a bench of chrysan- themums planted in the center, with cucumbers grown on side benches. Davis' Perfect and White Spine were planted alternately, the Davis beipg a stronger vine, with fruits averag- ing fourteen inches in length — a profit- able crop. These in turn were followed by Grand Rapids lettuce, bringing from 5 cents to 8 cents per head, to be foJ- lowed again by Stone tomatoes, which are considered by him to be among the best forcing varieties. He says he will not plant asters near mums again, as he had hard work to keep down thrips. A new house has been added for mam- moth verbenaa and rooted cuttings of soft-wooded stock for the wholesale trade. Ira G. Marvin, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., wittily remarked that he broke his left arm handling the holiday rush. This was true in that he was making a spe- cial delivery on his wheel, which skid- ded and threw him with a force suf- ficient to break the small bones. He is recovering nicely and at the same time is giving the business a thorough over- hauling, finding concentration and spe- cialization really necessary. J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, Pa., is pre- paring a large stock of his specialty, verbenas, also young roses and carna- tions. Sunburst rose is the leader and is counted highly profitable to grow.

Members Florists' Telegraph Delivery Ass'n. BOSTON. The Market. The outlook is decidedly better and the market is cleaning up fairly well. Boses are in shorter supply and sell better than any other flowers. Amer- ican Beauties have advanced in price, specials making $30 to $40 per hun- dred. There has been a strong call for short-stemmed flowers of all varie- ties and these have cleaned up at $3 to $4 per hundred, but an advance has taken place in all grades; even the old standbys, such as Killarney, White Killarney and Ward, are selling well. Ophelia continues a leader. Hadley is now in good shape; its odor helps its sale considerably. Killarney Queen, Mock, Shawyer, Russell, Taft and Sun- burst are all in good demand. Some of the single Irish roses are seen and are popular, as is the little Mile. Cecile Brunner. Carnations are doing better, but vio- lets are not going well, the prices be- ing low. They will probably have a temporary brace for St. Valentine's day. Some of the valley is of superb quality, while a good deal is just the reverse. This sells moderately well. A good number of Dutch Golden Spurs are now in. The prices are down to $2 per hundred. Silver Spurs are also good. White tulips are now seen in considerable variety. Freesia is now abundant and cheap. Cornflowers do not sell well and calendulas hang fire. Yellow marguerites and English prim- roses are good sellers. Snapdragons, es- MT. CLEMENS. MICH.

Morris, of Wellesley Hills, will next season plant a large lot of Bus- sell, Hadley, Ophelia, Sunburst and other popular roses, about 15,000 in all. Mr. Morris is one of our best local rose specialists. Mann Bros., of Bandolph, are cutting good speciosum and giganteum lilies. Thieir Dutch Golden Spur and Silver Spur narcissi are now good; so are their Yellow Prince, Thomas Moore, La Eeine and other tulips. The Boston Cut Flower Co. reports business as being satisfactory. The call for Hadley, Ophelia, Russell and other choice roses is excellent. H, W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is mar- keting a nice lot of well flowered ciner- arias and Primula malacoides. The lat- ter, by the way, is the most decorative of all the greenhouse primulas, and for table centerpieces is unexcelled. J. R. Comley, of Bedford, is cutting his second crop of smilax. He is one of the few remaining specialists in this plant. He also has a fine crop of sin- gle violets and sweet peas. Charles T. Stevens, of Plymouth, who is a frequent caller at the wholesale markets, reports business as good. He has just completed the equipment of a new, up-to-date store there, to care properly for his increasing trade. John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, has Dutch Golden Spur of grand quality. He is also getting a good lot of tulips. The leading local event of horticul- tural interest this week is the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, January 28. The installation of officers will be followed by a first-class enter- tainment by some of our best local ar- tists. John McFarland, of North Easton, has 7,000 giganteum lilies now eight to twelve inches high, which look even and healthy and which he will have no need to rush for Easter. He has a large daily cut of valley.

Business here continues good. Jacob Hirsch, one of the salesmen at the Boston Cooperative Market, was passing cigars January 21; it is an 8-1 pound daughter. Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, is strong on Freesia Purity, in addition to splendid giganteum lilies. Among the roses from W. H. Elliott 's Madbury establishment are some of the new single Irish varieties. . These are beautiful. He also has Cecile Brunner of splendid color. Among other sorts, Killarney Queen, Killarney Brilliant, Sunbiirst and Ward are particularly good. Harry Quint will open a new and splendidly equipped store in the Hotel Brunswick, on Boylston street, right in the Back Bay district, February 1. W. R. Finlay, formerly one of ThomasEoland's salesmen, has resigned and expects to start as a salesman for several other growers in the Boston Co- operative Market. The mignonette coming in from R. E. Wadsworth & Co. is of magnificent qual- ity; the spikes are of great depth and the flowers are whiter than usually seen. Boston sent a really good delegation January 25 to the Buffalo carnation con- vention and should be well to the front in the competitive classes there.

The market was still dragging some- what in the early part of last week, but the cold weather and snow storm caused a shortage of stock in the last two days of the week. This caused E rices to go up a few cents and retail usiness showed some improvement, though the increase was mostly in fu- neral work. January 25 the wholesalers cleaned up all their consignments, which were considered light. Nearly all the stock is of extra good quality. Boses are not overabundant, but are excellent in color and stem. Killarneys form the bulk of the stock coming in, with Rich- mond and Ward close seconds. Beau- ties are not any too abundant. Carna- tions run about the same. The En- chantress varieties are most numerous, followed by Beacon. Sweet peas and violets have been in good demand and are more abundant than for some time. The supply of valley, lilies and Paper Whites has been equal to the demand. Eomans, tulips and Yon Sions have been somewhat scarce. Asparagus is easy again and other greens are suffi- cient for demands. Various Notes. The Betail Florists' Association held its monthly meeting at the Washington hotel, January 18. The meeting was poorly attended. In the absence of President H. Young and Vice-president Theo. Miller, Charles Young presided over the meeting.

It was decided to re- vise the constitution and by-laws of the association so as to offer wider scope of inducements for retailers to join. A nice luncheon was served after the meeting. J. Plecher, representing the Peters & Beed Pottery Co., of Zanesville, O., was here last week with a line of sam- ?les, which were displayed at the lanters' hotel. The Lady Florists' Home Circle will hold its next meeting at the home of Mrs. Theo. Miller, on Delmar boulevard, February 10. Joseph J. Windier, who is with his brother, R. J. Windier, 2300 South Grand avenue, has announced his en- gagement to Miss Bernice Poss. The wedding will take place early this spring. Mr. Windier is receiving con- gratulations daily from his friends in the trade. J. F. Ammann is in Buffalo, attend- ing the convention of the American Carnation Society. He was delegated by the St. Louis Florists' Club to pre- sent the club's invitation to the society to hold its 1916 meeting in St. Louis. President Bourdet could not have made a better choice when he selected Mr. Ammann for this work. The County Growers' Association will hold its regular monthly meeting Feb- ruary 3, at the Eleven Mile House. The officers say the meeting will be full of importance and a large attendance is looked for. R. J. Windier, who was reappointed state vice-president by President Welch, of the S. A. F., is hustling in the in- terest of the society. Mr. Windier 's hustling qualities should give him a good show for securing that prize watch offered by President Welch for the one securing the most new members. David Geddis reports that the flower department of Vandervoort 's, of which he is manager, has had a growing busi- ness in wedding decorations, receptions and dinner parties. The recent Cahill wedding was one of their big jobs. Five convention naeetings held in St. Louis last week made things quite lively for some in the trade.

Oscar Huettemann still is a sin- gle man. The seed houses throughout the city are preparing for the spring rush and have their spring catalogues in print; The wintry weather last week madO counter trade somewhat dull. Carl Beyer called on the trade last week and reports that he is entirely cured of his rheumatism. He is tak- ing on considerable weight, but says the greater the waist the less the speed. Thos. C. Carr, the Union Market flo* rist, says trade has been comparatively dull of late and this gives him tinrt to consider preparations for his spring plant trade. He contemplates a num- ber of improvements when the time comes to open his stands. Florists in the extreme west end, Messrs. Sanders, Young and Kalisch Bros., say they have had an excellent run of trade since the holidays and are looking for it to keep up until Lent begins. J. J. B. PEOVIDENOE, E. I. The Market.

Prices have sagged greatly, but even at that the growers are unable to move their stock. • < Damage by Storm. Nearly 100 lights were broken at the old house in the Pawtucket avenue range of Joseph Koppelman, at East Providence. The worst damage was reported from the range of David S. Peck, on the Fall Eiver road, East Providence, where the wind tore two-thirds of the glass off a new greenhouse, one hundred and sixty feet long, A heavy bough blown from a neigh- boring tree crashed through the roof of one of the greenhouse*- of Charles H. Hunt's range, on Burnside street. Various Notes. At the annual meeting of the Bhode Island Horticultural Society, January 20, Eugene A. Appleton, Joshua Vose, Arthur Sellew and Cornelius Hartstra were chosen members of the exhibition committee. A leak in one of the mains of the Providence Gas Co. on Branch avenue caused William E. Chappell to lose almost his entire stock in one of his greenhouses. H. Howard Pepper, of the Melrose Rose Gardens, was reelected trust officer at the annual meeting of the Industrial Trust Co. last week. The general assembly has been asked for an appropriation of $15,000 for the suppression of the gypsy and brown- tail moths. The Norwood Home Nursery & Floral Co., of Norwood, has entered a com- plaint with the officials of Warwick for damages caused by flooding its land as a result of grading Pawtucket ave- nue. Edward Littman, who opened a flower store in the Blackstone hotel, 317 West- minster street, some time ago, has named it the Flower Growers' Depot, according to his statement just filed at the city clerk's office, affirming propri- etorship.

Mr. Goldbach 's team won by a few points. The Lord & Burnham prize was awarded to D. T. Conner. The sec- ond prize, a beautiful garden spade, went to T. J.

In the afternoon of the same day, about twenty florists wefit to Stras- burg. The first stop was at Amos N. Rohrer's, where we found the carna- tions in good shape. The varieties grown are Matchless, Pink Delight, Mrs. C. W. Ward and Alma Ward. Primulas are well grown. A specimen sedum, about three feet high, in bloom, was much admired. Our next call was at the establish- ment of Charles B. Herr, which might be well termed Lancaster county's show place. The stock here is in the best possible condition. Matchless has led all other varieties in the number of blooms cut, with no split flowers. White Perfection will be dropped next season, owing to its tendency to burst. Gorgeous looked fine, but doubt was expressed as to whether it would make a profitable variety. Benora will be discarded. Enchantress Supreme is much liked for its good color and non- bursting qualities. Possibly the va- riety that was most attractive was Philadelphia, which was a mass of flow- ers and buds showing color, a shade of pink of wonderful beauty. These were the first blooms of any conse- MILWAUKEE, WIS. Cor. Stta St. and Grand Ave. W. C. ZDVNERNANN Whaksak ai4 RetaU Flanst MADISON, WIS.

A few Princess Dagmar, crimson, were also found growing here. Some fine Cibo- tium Schiedei, Ficus pandurata and Dr. itbss coleus were admired. On our return to Lancaster, a call was made at Enos W.

Morse, San Francisco, CM.; Becretarr-Treasurer. 0. E. Kendel, Cleyeland. O. Tblrty-thlrd annual convention, San Francisco. Cal., 1915. Arnold Eingier, secretary of the W. W. Barnard Co., recently returned to Chicago after a trip among the Wis- consin canners. The Meyer-Stisser Co., Baltimore, has been so unfortunate as to lose the entire edition of its 1915 general seed catalogue, destroyed by fire in the print- shop after the books were almost fin- ished. The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., of Los Angeles, has complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission against the alleged unlawful charge by railroads for switch- ing carload freight to and from industrial tracks. J. BoLQiANO & Son, Baltimore, are holding a poultry show in their store this week, January 26 to 29, of such magnitude that a 28 -page premium list was issued and a lot of space sold to advertisers whose lines are sold by the firm. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at Washington has received telegraphic information to the effect that the exportation of clover seed from Den- mark is now prohibited. The Department of Agriculture points out that the French export prohibition on seeds for sowing and other seeds is of great importance to American seed growers. An interesting change is apparent in the character of the bids for the gov- ernment seed order; a decrease in the number of bids by responsible seedsmen of the best standing and an increase in the number of bids from farmer grow- ers of okra, collard, watermelon, etc. The trade strengthens its stand against the Congressional distribution by refrain- ing from bidding for the business. ACCOBDINO to oflScial information, since November the import of beet seed into France has been free from import duties by suspension of law. If this means that the French Department of Agriculture foresees a shortage of beet seeds for home use, and that France will come on the market as a buyer of Dutch, English or American stocks, it may have an important bearing on the situation.

The canners still are a lugubrious lot. The seed catalogues that have been «ut down an ounce or two to keep them inside the flat rate postage limit do not appear to have suffered in the process. The U. S. Department of Agriculture recently has issued Farmers' Bulletin No. 63«f'-"The Chalcis-fly in Alfalfa Seed," which will be of interest to some seedsmen. A. H. Goodwin, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is in New York. He says he will omit his usual trip to Europe this winter, but Mrs. Goodwin is In Scotland. The seed trade will find many items of interest in the "Mott-ly Musings" that are an almost weekly feature of this journal. In his travels Mr. Mott is call- ing on seedsmen everywhere. The canners of corn are scarcely more enthusiastic buyers of seed this season than are the packers of peas. Perhaps the trouble is that most of those who «an corn also pack more or less peas. Under the head of Business Embar- rassments this week will be found an account of the reorganization of the ' McVay Seed Co., of Birmingham, Ala., , and of the decision declaring R. B. < Hutchcraft, of Paris, Ky., a bankrupt. John Lewis Childs and Mrs. Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., , have announced the engagement of their ' daughter. Norma, to Alden L.

The Florists' Review 65 Celery ,- Golden Self-Blanching Fordhook Bush Lima Pepper, — Burpee's Ruby King Burpee^s Seeds Grow What Burpee -Quality Seeds Mean to the Market Grower. ^ At the Seventh Annual Convention of the Vegetable Growers' Association of America, held in Horticultural Hall. Philadelphia. October. 1914, we had the pleasure of talking with and listening to the many earnest men who are doing so much for the advancement of the market growing in- dustry. We were impressed with the importance and scope of the work of this splendid organization, and realized even more than before the market grower's absolute dependence for success upon selected "Seeds of Quality." The position occupied by the seedsman who undertakes to supply seed to the market grower is one of great trust. Surely his service is one based on confidence. Confidence makes possible the commerce of the world. It is the great- est factor that enters into a purchase of seeds, because ydii. are not buying a finished product, but only the means by which your garden will be either a pronounced success or a partial failure. Seeds — good or bad — may look the same, but how different their resulting crops 1 You cannot afford to risk a season's work with seeds of unknown quality. When you buy BURPE£'S SEEDS the element of doubt is removed so far as is possible by human care. The con- fidence of many thousands of pleased and permanent cus- tomers is maintained by the Burpee Idea of Quality First, — "to give rather than to get all that is possible." This confidence on the part of our customers, combined with the efficient Burpee^Service, has built ' the world's greatest mail-order seed business. A careful examination of this "Blue List" should convince you of the excellence of our pedigree strains for market 'growers, and then a trial order — if you are not already a Burpee customer — will t>rove that your confidence has not been misplaced. Burpee's Annual for 1915, our complete retail catalog of 182 pages, has already been mailed. If you have failed to receive it, kindly write at once and a duplicate copy will be forwarded.

The National Canners ' Association has been working for more than a year to- ward the classification of the indus- try under its various heads, with all the various branches under the guid- ance or authority of the national body. There are now formed in the associa- tion the milk canners' branch, the sar- dine canners' branch, the salmon can- ners' branch, the pea canners' branch, and then the tomato canners' branch, the greatest, numerically, of all. The next step was the formation of the corn canners' branch, and the West- ern Canners' Association may merge its association into this branch. DECRIES SEED DISTRIBUTION. When the bids for the government seed contracts were opened at Wash- ington last week, the officials read a letter from A. T. Cook, of Hyde Park, N. Y., which was received in place of his bid. In it Mr. Cook declared that the seed business was injured by the Department of Agriculture's distribu- tion, and that he would not be a party to it. He described the distribution as a "cheap method of bribing the vot- ers." Laughter was the only imme- diate result of the letter; the general expression of such opinions, however, is what is bringing about the sure, if slow, change of sentiment with regard to this practice.

Broom corn seed in North Da- kota and South Dakota weighs thirty pounds per bushel, while iir Minnesota it takes fifty-seven pounds to make a bushel. Shelled corn in many states is sixty pounds to the bushel, while eai corn is seventy pounds, yet you could not get into a bushel more than thirty pounds of ear corn. Nine states fix red- top grass seed at fourteen pounds per bushel. Virginia fixes it at twelve pounds, yet the clean seed weighs thirty pounds per bushel. Twenty states have a fixed bushel of fifty-seven pounds for onions, while Minnesota has it fifty-two pounds, based on actual weight. You would find it impossible to get one-fourth of a bushel of pars- nips into a peck measure. The bushel ill th€ United States ranges from 1,925 inches to 2,815 inches. There is no uniformity and there never will be un- til Congress makes mandatory stand- ards. The barrel measure does not tie up to any standard. Sometimes it con- tains three Winchester bushels. The flour barrel is 196 pounds and the beef and pork barrel 200 pounds. Vermont has a permissive barrel, 196 pounds for flour. The states will never establish uniformity in weights and measures. They have been trying for a hundred years and have made a mess of it. ' ' P. FREIGHT REFUNDS.

FACT AND FICTION Fiction in the lily bulb busi- ness is that part of the negotiation which too often precedes the securing of an order. Fact is that part of the transaction which ensues after negotiations are over and the contract is closed. The hardest work begins after the orders are booked — that of getting the bulbs that will really make good. Sometimes customers regard our allega- tions as fiction, but in the final analysis the facts sub- stantiate what we have always said of Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs.

SOME RECORD This week when ordering their third lot of seed of my original S. P. snaps, Messrs. W. G. Moulton & Son, York Village, Me., write: "Last year we planted a bench 4x40 to your S. P. seedling snaps. They came right for Memorial Day. We beRan cutting April 12 and in six weeks we sold 1600 spikes, besides what we used and gave away. They were not only very profitable, but a great and showy ad for us, many customers judging them ' great.' •wonderful,* etc., and all were highly pleased with them. We were compelled to sacrifice the bed after Memorial Day to make room for early mums. Have the same bench planted this year and they are great." This must be acknowledged a great record, which cannot be duplicated by any other snapdragon. ' By throwing the plants out so early these gentlemen missed a heavier crop of blossoms, which would have continued several months. We have plants that will mak« the same record for you, and to quickly move a block we will add 10 per cent in plants with every order. Price for XX stock only, $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000. Remember, these are SEEDLING plants. Your time and space are wasted if you use cuttings. Other varieties are: Yellow, $5.00 per 100; Garnet Gem, $8.00, and Nelrose, $6.00. Write for complete list.

These sixteen states produce about eeventy- five per cent of the annual crop. Reports received from 328 shipping points in ten principal late cabbage pro- ducing states show that approximately 18,694 carloads of cabbage were shipped from these stations in 1913. Of this number, about 14,465 were moved "dur- ing harvest time, and 4,229 carloads were held in storage at those points for later sale. From these reports, the estimated commercial cabbage crop for the year 1914 at the same points is 20,- 390 carloads, of which number around 15,745 cars are bein^ moved during harvest and about 4,645 cars put into storage. These ten states produce about two-thirds of the annual crop. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. J. J. Wilion 8«ed Co., Newark. N.

The red and gold cover Is tasteful and challenges at- tention. Geo. 8. Woodruff, Independence, la.— "The Modern Gladiolus."

Among the classes of stock listed are seeds, roses, miscel- laneous plants, perennials, shrubs, vines, fruit trees, small fruit, nut trees, shade trees, etc. An Interesting feature of the vegetable depart- ment Is the estimate of the length of time re- quired, from the date of sowing the seed, to carry a crop to maturity; this statement of the "days required" is placed in parenthesis immediately after the name of each variety. ICartia Kohankie, Painesville, O. — A wholesale nursery list, including perennials and other field- grown plants, pot grown plants, shrubs, vines and roses. Thomas J.

Corvallis, Ore. — F. E. Butt is engag- ing in market gardening here, having sold his interest in the greenhouse es- tablishment of Butt Bros., Parkplace, Ore. Corvallis, Ore. — T. H. Wellsher, pro- prietor of the Corvallis Greenhouses, says business has been quiet since the holidays, with plenty of stock of good quality. He regards it as the inevi- table reaction after the Christmas rush, when trade was better than ever. LOS ANGELES, GAL. The Market. Business may best be described as "streaky," this being the way one retailer spoke of it. Some days are good, some the reverse. There is not any too much really good stock on the market and our best rose growers have no difficulty in disposing of their cuts. But there are quite a lot of poor flow- ers that demoralize the market to some extent, flowers that would be better left at home than sent in. Violets are about the only flowers that are both good and cheap. Baby roses are small and scarce, the few bunches arriving being eagerly bought up. The weather has been cold at night, with hot days, and this combination is hard on out- door flowers. But as I write there is a nice rain • falling, which it is hoped will continue. Carnations are fair only, and the few centaureas seen are too poor to cut any figure. Beauties are scarce and poor. Outdoor roses are fair. There are still no sweet peas to amount to anything, all growers hav- ing apparently failed with their fall sowings. There are acres of these plants that will have to be plowed un- der, for they will never produce a good flower. It looks as though there were a chance for a grower to start growing under glass, a phase of their culture much neglected here. Lily of the val- ley and orchids are fairly plentiful, but the price of cattleyas has declined quite a lot in the last year or so and instead of bringing $1.50 each retail, as they did formerly, they are fre- quently sold with ribbon and other fix- ings as low as 75 cents each. Plants sell poorly now, a few Boston and Whitman! ferns being about all that are selling, though there are quite a number of good azaleas still on the market. Various Notes. Dan MacRorie, of the MacRorie-Mc- Laren Co., the well known nurserymen of San Francisco, and C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens, Queens, L. I., who now makes his home at Eureka, Cal., are among our distinguished visitors last week. Mr. Ward was accompanied by his manager, R. T. Brown, but he had to leave for the east almost im- mediately. Mr. MacRorie was host to a congenial party of about ten local horti- culturists at the Hayward the evening of January 19 and a most enjoyable time was had. Thanking you for the oxcellont results we have had to date from our ad. in The Review. — HOLLYWOOD GARDENS, Per V. A. Jan. 12, 1915. Holly-wood, Wasli. Among the various improvements at the plant department of Smith & Dieterich, on Wall street, is a new office. At Seventh and Figueroa streets the cut flower business is boom- ing. Dahlias and cannas are being lifted at the nurseries of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., on the Whittier road, the stock being in excellent shape this year. The Los Angeles Floral Co. reports fine business in out-of-town shipping. Carnation Mrs. Welsh is handled ex- clusively here and is proving a splen- did shipper and keeper. The California Rose Co., of Pomona, has opened a store on Hill street and is conducting a vigorous advertising campaign on its rose stock. J. Gatacre, of Seattle, Wash., was a visitor this week. The "speed cops" are making sad inroads upon the profits of the whole- sale florists these days. Word comes from C. E. Morton, now of Phoenix, Ariz., that business is liv- ening up considerably. Mr. Morton's son will join his parents there, but his daughter. Miss Hazel Morton, remains in Los Angeles, having taken up nurs- ing as a profession. H. W. Turner is shipping out splen- did plants of his new rose, September Morn, and other novelties. The whole cut of the large range is cleaned up daily, frequently needing several trips daily. G. Rolleri, of the California Ever- green Co., has returned from a business trip to San Diego. H. R. Richards. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Large social affairs, requiring flowers in quantity, are not as frequent as in former years, but the demand for small lots is sufficient to keep the market cleared of cut stock daily. Some good customers are dispensing with flowers and donating their cost to local or for- eign relief funds. From a charitable point of view this spirit is admirable, but the florists' business must stand the loss and it is to be hoped that the idea will not be carried to an ex- cess. The supply of carnations is increas- ing, but more would be used if they came in. While they show the effects of lack of sunshine, both in texture of stem and in size and tint of bloom, they are of better quality than usual for this time of year. Orchids are abundant and of excellent quality, with Cattleya Trianae leading. Potted and cut tulips are more plentiful. Ro- mans and Paper Whites sell well and there are enough of them to meet the demand, without any waste. The large growers did not put in as many bulbs as usual, or there would be an oversupply. A few local-grown single violets are shown, but they, suffer from ROOTED CARNATION CUTTINGS IMMEDIATE DELTVERT Per 100 1000 White Enchantress $2.26 $20.00 Light Pink Enchantress 2.25 20.00 Rose-Dink Enchantress 2 26 20 00 Dorothy Gordon 2.25 20.00 Washington 2.26 20 00 Mrs. C.

The Florists^ Review 81 SEPTEMBER MORN Our Sensational New Light Pink Rose Growth of the very strongest of any H. T. yet dis- seminated, throwing long, strong canes in rapid succession, 2 to 4 feet long; does not require pinch- ing and will produce more high grade blooms than any Rose grown. Buds very large and finely formed, opening well into large, full, double flowers of magnificent size and form; a wonderful keeper, lasting over a week after fully open, and retaining its color and fragrance, which is without question the sweetest found in any rose. The petals are large and of splendid substance, waved or undulated on the edges, giving the bloom a very beautiful and distinct appearance. The color is an exquisite shade of light flesh pink on the outer petals, shad- ing to pure rose pink in the center, with a faint touch of deep golden-yellow at the very base of the petals. Without doubt the most rapturously beauti- ful color in a commercial rose, selling on sight and called for repeatedly, owing to its splendid keeping qualities and distinct coloring. We have this season 10,000 of it planted for cut flowers, and it has given the most gratifying returns of any rose we have grown. Foliage large, ample and not sub- ject to mildew or spot. A splendid all-year-round rose, giving good returns every day in the year. Does not get soft in extremely hot weather, and will be found indispensable where high grade blooms are in demand during the hot months. We are propa- gating from selected wood only, insuring good, strong, sturdy plants that will give maximum results. Own root stock only, from 2Hj-in. pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000; 6000 for $1000.00. k' HENRY W.

He stated that the managers of the Panama-Pacific Exposition esti- mate that at least seventy per cent of the visitors from eastern points will take one of the northern routes one way, and that he hoped this estimate would apply to S. A. P. delegates. President Van Kirk announced a nominating committee to present the names of candidates for the new set of ofiicers of the society. The committee is as follows: B. Tonseth, Max Smith, J. G. Bacher, A. Bahn, J. J. Butzer and G. M. Pilkington. Various Notes. George Butzer, a brother of J. J. Butzer, the seedsman, died last week in Seattle. His body was brought to Portland for burial. George Goes is finding ready sale at the public market for his poorer grades of cyclamens. He is getting good prices for them, considering their qual- ity. Zimmerman Bros., who have a nur- sery at Tigard, are growing a variety of hardy perennials. They report a satisfactory fall business. A number of florists and growers have been requested by the educational committee of the rose festival manage- ment to submit articles for publication on various topics relating to rose cul- ture and city beautification.

The demand for cut flowers has been fairly good. In other lines there is not much doing. Carnations continue moderately scarce and good prices are realized. There is a fair supply of roses from the south. Bulbous stock is not too plentiful and better prices are current than were the rule at the be- ginning of the season. Yellow narcissi are later than usual and are much in demand. Good lilies are fairly plenti- ful and are filling up gaps in other lines. There are not many freesias grown and the blooms that come to the stores are quickly disposed of. Various Notes.

Slauson has a fine crop of celery in one of his houses, from which he anticipates good returns, as it should be ready for market after outside crops are finished. T. W. SFIK.SA BOOTS NOT BUIiBOUS. The Treasury Department announces a decision of the Board of Appraisers in the matter of the protest of Mat- toon & Co., at San Francisco, on the rate on spiraeas. Appraiser Waite ren- dered the opinion. The importation was invoiced as 1,200 spiraja plants and was assessed for duty under that part of paragraph 264 of the 1909 tariff act reading, "All trees, shrubs, plants and vines commonly known as nursery or greenhouse stock, not specially pro- vided for, twenty-five per cent ad valorem." It was claimed by the im- porters that the plants were dutiable at 50 cents per thousand under the last part of paragraph 263, which reads: * ' All other bulbs, bulbous roots or ccrms which are cultivated for their flowers or foliage, 50 cents per thou- sand." In overruling the protest, Ap- praiser Waite said: "This plant is cultivated for its flowers or foliage. The testimony of the importer is that it is known and traded in under the i^ame of spiraea, but that it is not really spiraea. He says its correct name is aruncus, that it is allied to the saxifraga genus, and that it is also called astilbe. Astilbe is classified under paragraph 263 with 'hyacinth, astilbe, dielytra, and lily of the valley clumps, $2.50 per thousand.' "We learn from works on botany that spiraea is a genus which is divided into some fifty varieties, the most of them being deciduous shrubs. Some of the species, however, are perennials, and belong to what might be termed the herbaceous group. This particular importation, according to the testimony of the importer, is the roots merely of a perennial, the growth of which above ground dies down in the fall. "While this is all interesting and might assist in determining the classi- fication of these roots, the real ques- tion is as to whether they are 'bulbs, bulbous roots, or corms. ' No authority has been presented which would war- rant us in holding that they are either bulbs, bulbous roots, or corms. In sup- plying an illustrative sample, the im- porter stated that the one produced was exactly like the original sample which was taken from the importation. He was asked by his attorney the follow- ing question: 'Are you prepared to state positively that the bulb which is here the subject of this protest was the same as the bulb from which that plant came?' His answer was, 'Yes, sir; exactly; a different importation, that is all; the same class of goods.' This is the only testimony in the case which sustains the contention that the impor- tation is either a bulb, a bulbous root, or a corm. We think we are authorized In holding, from all the testimony and the facts and circumstances surround- ing the case, that these goods are not bulbs. Is there anything, then, upon which we can base a finding that they are bulbous roots or corms t We think the testimony introduced on behalf of the importer does not go far enough to furnish the basis of an intelligent find- ing. We therefore hold he has not sup- ported his contention. The protest is overruled."

THE THIRD EDITION Of the most successful book ever published for the trade The original Album of Designs was published in response to many requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when ready for use. With the publication of this Album it became pos- sible to show th« ffinlsh«d work in beautifully pristed pictures. The first edition sold like hot-cakes, and a second edition went quickly. The third edition is now ready. Everything is in it— all the standard designs and many a«w and heretofore unpublished pieces. 96 pag*Sf n«arly 300 daslgns and decorations, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper, hand- somely bound in a cover that will stand wear. 75c PER COPY POSTPAID $6.00 PER DOZEN BY EXPRESS CASH WITH ORDER Florists' Publishing Co. !The Florists' Review The Florists' Manual The Album of Desigrns 508 S.

Cabman, founder of the Law- rence Nursery Co., at Lawrence, Kan., is creating a surprise in his town by taking an active part in politics. He Hs a candidate for mayor, running against the present occupant of the office. Utah's importance as a fruit-growing state may be judged by a recent state- ment that there is a total of 43,660 acres of fruit land in the state, the estimated value of which is $17,466,000, and on which there are about 6,548,000 fruit trees. The shipments of French fruit stocks are arriving in large quantities. Instead of a scarcity, it appears orders will be filled in full and an effort will be made by the French houses to work off in America quantities grown for markets now closed to France. Leonard Coates, of Morgan Hill, Cal., well known to the nurserymen of the Pacific coast, was married January 10 to Miss Annie A. Ellis, of Watsonville, for the last five years a teacher in the Morgan Hill high school. Mr C!oates is 65 years old; his first wife died three years ago, leaving him one son, Ronald, 25 years old, who is engaged in the nur- sery business with his father. A. A. N.'S ANNIVERSAKY. Seven years ago the American Asso- ciation of Nurserymen held its annual meeting in Detroit. At the Cleveland convention of 1914 Detroit was again practically unanimously chosen for the meeting of 1915. So much enthusiasm was evinced in the discussion as to the city in which this anniversary should be celebrated that we consider our- selves warranted in boosting the "City Beautiful" in anticipation of June 23 to 25 next. It is great fun to be a booster, because, after your energy has been spent, such a delightful satisfac- tion gets up under a man's vest as he congratulates himself on his success, always, of course, presuming that he has boosted in a good cause. So let us all assume the role of the booster in one united effort to make this forti- eth anniversary the most notable in the association's history, notable in size of membership, notable in attendance and notable in all other ways that shall build up the business of the legitimate nurseryman. To this end let every man look after the fellow who is not on the list. Pres- ident Chase is on the warpath. He has appointed a committee of seven live men to boost the membership, with Brother Will Munson, of Texas, as chairman. Somethin' doin*. As already announced. Hotel Cadillac iriW be headquarters. T.

The Maxwell House, Nashville, is the headquarters of the tenth annual meet- ing of the Tennessee State Nursery- men's Association, in session January 28.

Prices are high, considering the low quality of the stock. Beauties are small, and the buds are shriveled in some ship- ments. Daffodils are better and bring fair prices, but the demand greatly ex- ceeds the supply. Pussy willows are used considerably with spring flowers. Sweet peas are increasing and are ex- cellent in quality. Harrisii lilies are much in demand, but the supply is meager. Carnations are fair; there is an abundance of all colors, red being in the majority. Cyclamens, primroses, hyacinths, azaleas and cinerarias are among the blooming plants to be had. Varlotis Notes.

Taft, at Porter Norton's residence, January 22, an Italian gar- den was used, having miniature box- wood hedges, rose trees and garden vases ' filled with blooming roses. In the center of the formal garden was a tall rose tree. Green moss formed the turf throughout the garden and the effect was most realistic. At the branch store of W. J. Palmer & Son, two handsome window decora- tions were seen. One consisted of lavender orchids hung from the ceiling in tubes irregularly arranged, which resembled a flock of birds. The floor space was artistically filled with spring flowers. The other display was a foun- tain effect of white lilacs and yellow tulips. Instead of water, an electrolier with a yellow shade was used to great advantage. Vases of sweet peas of various colors and miniature Japanese ponds, with goldfish swimming about, added life to the creation. Joseph Streit is now offering some exceptionally good Dutch hyacinths and Marie Legraye lilac trees in full bloom. These are excellent for early spring stock. A. J. Pauly, of Attica, N. Y., is grow- ing some good Perfection, Enchantress Supreme and Beacon carnations. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Anderson during their stay here for the carnation convention. S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, Milton Selinka, of Schloss Bros., New York, and A. Smith, of Wm. J, Boas & Co., Philadelphia, were recent visitors. R. M. Rebstock's store and S. A. Anderson's Elmwood branch have been doing a great deal of funeral work. Robert Avery is producing some ex- cellent smilax, which is being used in large quantities at present. The orchid peas of Jerry Brookins and Chas. Sandiford continue to im- prove daily, after the blight they suf- fered at Christmas. S. A. Anderson had a rather weird but yet effective window display last week. It was Japanese in design, and had hangings of blue and white crepe, Japanese lanterns, parasols and fans. White lilac trees, with blue, yellow and lavender decorations, gave a dash of color. Orchids, valley and Golden Spur daffodils in vases were the cut flowers used. A soft blue light was throt^n upon the display. E. C. A.

W. Ward have just been recognized and appreciated. It is one of the best of its color that we We have 40,000 cutting^s of this variety ready have today.

Busiuess this week was not up to that of the week before, owing to the cold snap we have had. Cut flowers were scarce all the week. This was not caused so much by the demand as by the general shortage of stock. Boses are advancing in price. Beauties and other red roses were away short of the demand and the quality was poor. The new varieties cannot be had at all. There were not enough pink roses to fill orders. The whites were least in de- mand, but even they were all cleaned up at good prices. Carnations from the home growers have not been so plenti- ful, owing to the cloudy weather, and prices have advanced slightly. Tulips and other bulbous stock are more plen- tiful, with the exception of lilies. Sweet peas, violets and freesias are more plentiful and of good quality. The prices on these remain about the same. Various Notes. The Florists' Club met Monday, Jan- uary 18, for the annual election of offi- cers. The meeting was held at the Coates House, with a large attendance. The following officers were chosen: President, Glen H. Parker; vice-presi- dent, Edward Harvey; secretary and treasurer, A. C. Wilson; trustee, Mr. Chandler. The club has been having a number of talks on different interest- ing subjects and all members should turn out, in appreciation of the efforts of the officers. A baby girl arrived January 21 at the home of W. J. Barnes, Jr., and everybody is getting along well. The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had an attractive window of lilac and bougain- villeas. This firm reports a good busi- ness in funeral work for last week. T. J. Noll & Co. report a good out-of- town trade for the week, which made up for a decrease in local business. W. J. Barnes has a house of fine Easter lilies and a nice lot of pot plants for St. Valentine's day. William Foith is sending in a nice lot of carnations and roses and has no trouble in selling them. The nurserymen of this city are mak- ing big preparations for spring business and some report that orders are now ahead of those of last spring. Business acrosir the state line has been only normal. Funeral work is the heaviest part of the business. W. J. B. MATCHLESS A GREAT SUCCESS MATCHLESS is the best and most profitable white carnation to grow, having no equal in earliness, vigor of growth and production. It is superior in size, fragrance and keeping qualities, and is non-bursting. It is a continuous bloomer and is handled with ease by any grower.

Funeral work moves a large quantity of flowers, especially callas and Easter lilies, but society work is not nearly so plentiful. The supply of flowers is not so large as it was two weeks ago, owing to the continuous dark weather, and roses and carnations are almost at a premium. Spring flowers are coming in slowly. Daffodils, jonquils and tulips have made their appearance on the local market, potted as well as cut. Violets and sweet peas are scarce. Primroses, cyclamens, azaleas and cinerarias are selling well. Various Notes. ^ The New Haven Floral Co., of New Haven, Ind., is shipping some fine car- nations to this market. Frank Knecht & Co. are cutting some splendid roses and report the demand good. The Bradley Flower Shop is showing some fine cineraria plants, as well as a variety of other blooming plants. At the Fee-Heit wedding, January 5, the bouquets and decorations by the Flick Floral Co. were elaborate. South- ern smilax and Killarney roses formed the decorations at the Heit residence. The bridesmaids carried stunning hats filled with Sunburst roses and tied with long streamers of Sunburst ribbon, by which they hung from the arm. The bride's bouquet was a combination of valley, lilies and white orchids, tied with a handsome bridal scarf. The decorations for the opening of the Pal- ace theater, January 25, were also car- ried out by the Flick Floral Co. Smilax and Beauties were used. K. R. F. Missoula, Mont.— The R. & S. Flower Store has secured G. H. Osterman, an experienced nurseryman, to take charge of the nursery department which the firm plans establishing. Thirty acres are ready now, and perhaps thirty more will be added, according to F. X. Scully, head of the concern. RUSSELL ROSE PLANTS We offer extra fine grafted stock of this varieiy.

OPHELIA No fancy rose ever introduced pos- sesses so many excellent qualities. It is a splendid grower, a very free bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on sight.

FBANOIS SCOTT KEY This variety, raised by Mr. John Cook, is very distinct, being entirely different from any of the indoor roses giown today. Flowers are rosy red and are unusually large and double, resem- bling very much a very full, double, hardy garden rose. Coupled with its large size and double form, it is an ex- ceedingly free bloomer.

D'ASENBEBQ This variety might well have been termed a Red Killarney, as it possesses so many of the good qualities of the Killarneys. In color the flowers are similar to Richmond, but they are much more double, and it should prove a very much more profitable rose. Flow- ers have fine, straight stems on all the grades — from the shortest to the longest. It has fine foliage, comes away quickly and is even a freer bloomer than the Killarneys. We believe it is the best all-round red rose that we have today. Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-lnch pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 per 1000.

Funeral work has been plentiful and there have been a number of fair- sized decorations. Bulbous stock, such as Golden Spurs, La Reine tulips and Romans, are increasing in supply. A few Dutch hyacinths nave also made their appearance. Local-grown carna- tions are somewhat scarce, but there are plenty from outside places and sales of them are being held on Saturdays at 35 cents per dozen, while on other days they bring 75 cents. Formosa lilies are coming in, but are used principally in funeral work. Most potted plants move slowly; among the exceptions are red tulips and azaleas. Various Notes. Mark Aitken,has found no trouble so far in disposing of his fine lot of azaleas and he says that the demand for potted plants is heavy. One of his new delivery cars was badly smashed last week. Miss Louise J. Taylor, formerly of this city, has gone to Bermuda, where she will go on the stage. L. H. Butts, recently of this city, has moved to Reading, Pa., where he has bought a greenhouse establishment and will go into business for himself. F. J. C. CentervUle, Ind. — Fred Davis has purchased the E. Y. Teas property and business. Mr. Teas will vacate the last of February. Council Bluffs, la — The first annual meeting of the Morgan-Shawler Co. was held Monday morning, January 18, at the offices of the company's attorney. Howard R.

JOSEPH HEACOCK CO., Railway Station, Jenkintoirn, Wyncote, Pa. Mention Tli# Review wIipb yon wrtt>. DETROIT. < The Market. Business is brisk. At least, that is how we feel about it when we compare matters with the conditions in some of the other cities as (lescril)ed by the many drummers who ijassed through here last week. Of course, we could manage to take care of considerably more business, but things on the whole are satisfactory. There has been a re markable scarcity of roses and this has helped to keep other stock pretty well cleaned up. Carnations have not cleaned up as well as many would have liked. Considerable bulbous stock is now available, including fine freesias, Golden Spurs, various colored tulips and hyacinths. There has been a ready sale for peas. Various Notes. .John B. Dinser reports the arrival of another baby girl at his home. B. Schroeter, who has been confined to his home for a week, is back at the store. This is the first time in many years that Mr. Schroeter has been under the weather for more than a day. Gus H. Taepke, who has been on the sick list for some time, is again on his feet, but is far from being entirely well. Trade visitors took this city by storm last week. First to put in an appear- ance was J. .1. Karins; then came Wal ter Cook and at his heels George Hamj) ton; then Mr. Nelson, from the west; then followed Mr. Feldner, from Zanes ville; S. S. Ski.lelsky, Martin Keukauf, Frank Farney, .lames Smith, and so (ni down the line. Many of the retail stores had theii windows prettily decorated during auto show week. Among the most attractive was that of E. A. Fetters. Many minia ture basket autos were shown in his window, all nicely filled and labeled, the leaders for 191"). In Broitmeyer's window was a large basket auto sus- pended from above by a string of mon- keys carved from wood.

The de mand is more brisk than it has been since Christmas. Stock in general, how- ever, is quite scarce. Roses are scarce; in fact, the supply is not nearly sufficient to take care of the demand. The shortage is felt espe daily in the shorter grades of stock. The quality is fine. Carnations have shrunk from an extremely large supply to one which is hardly adequate for all the orders. The percentage of splits is small, and the average quality is ex- cellent. Prices have advanced as the supply has decreased. Valley is good, but sales are rather slow on this stock, Violets are still in good supply and the quality is excellent. The demand seems to be lighter than usual this year. Spring stock, such as freesias, narcissi and daisies, is coming in. Various Notes. Currie Bros. Co. has finished moving the seed department and offices to the new location, on East Water street. The flower store remains at 108 Wiscon- sin street. Last week this firm had in the window a display of roses, one of each variety, with a card attached bear- ing the name of the variety. Each flower was in an individual vase. The space before the window was continually crowded with spectators. Wm. Lubliner, 123 Grand avenue, has been in Chicago for over a week. He is staying with relatives, combining business and pleasure. Clarke Adams, of Racine, Wis., was in Milwaukee, Wednesday, January 20, when he was granted a decree of di- vorce. The Racine Floral Co., Racine, Wis., had a largo number of orders for the funeral of Mrs. Bertha M. Frank. Mrs. Miller, of the above firm, accompanied these orders to Milwaukee, giving their delivery her personal attention. H. .1. S.

Concerns that under ordinary cir- cumstances would not think of taking more than thirty days at the outside now calmly take sixty and ninety days' time without even offering an apology. "My trade won't pay me and I can't pay you" seems to be the slogan that has become almost Diamond. universal. — The Black THE BOILEB IN THE CENTER. J should be ])lease(l to have you give me some advice in regard to the heat- ing of my greenhouses. 1 have one house 30x84, with solid walls four feet high. It is thirteen feet high to the ridge and is even-span, running east and west. I wish to grow carnations in this house, except about twenty-five feet at the west end, in which I wish to grow roses. This space is sepaiJited from the carnation end by a glass par- tition. Connected to the south side of the greenhouse, and midway between the two ends of it, there is a small storeroom. T wish to put up two lettuce houses, each 10x84, with 2-foot walls and a height of five feet to the ridge. Owing to the way I am situated, I shall be obliged to place the boiler in the store- room, in the center of thf lettuce liouses, thus really making four houses instead of two. Do you think I can heat the houses satisfactorily by placing the boiler there? The boiler is an upright 36-inch shell, six and one-half feet high, and has two 4-inch openings for flows and the same for returns. I shall place the boiler in a pit. T am located in West Virginia. 11. E. H. As the boiler is to be located prac- tically in the middle of the houses, it really becomes a question of the piping required for heating six houses forty- two feet long to .50 degrees. One 4-inch main flow pipe will be suf- ficient to heat both ends of the ."JO-foot hf/use and the other 4-in(h main may bo used for the 10 foot houses. One of the mains should be carried into the center of the 30-foot house and fiom it six 21/,-inch flow pipes should be taken off. Three sliould run in each direction to the ends of the house, one flow being under tiie ridge and the others on the plates. Connect each of the flow pipes with three 2-inch re- turns and carry these back to the middle of the house and join them to n 4-inch main return pipe to carry the water back to the ])oiler. For each end of the 10-foot houses run a 2'/L>-inch flow pipe to the ends and there connect each of these flow pipes with fonr IVj-inch returns. THE MAIN IS TOO SMALL.

We have just completed an addition to the house built a year ago. The new house joins the old one on the south at right an- gles, so that the two together form an L-shaped house, as you will see from the enclosed diagram. The addition is 14x37 and eight and one-half feet high to the ridge. The side walls are six feet high to the eaves. Tlie lower half of the side walls is double-hoarded, with pa]>er between; the upper half is glass. There is glass and a door in the south end; at the north end there is a glass partition and a door between the two houses. Hot water lieat is used. The old house contains a 2il.-inch ii^pin How, running about two feet belpT^^ the ridge. Would a continuation of this 2''j-inch pipe to the south end of the new house be large enough to feed coils under the benches at the sides? How many pipes would be needed in each coil? We have on hand several hundred feet of 1%-inch pipe, which we shouhl like to use if possible. The temperature de- sired is 50 to 60 degrees in zero weather. The location is southern Michigan. The top of the boiler is a little below the level of the ground WHY TAKE A CHANCE?

The sketch indicates that a 2V{;-inch overhead flow pipe and twelve \y\- inch returns are suggested for heating the new house. This would .answer well, except for the fact that the new piping would be connected with the 2Vj-inch flow pipe which supplies the older house, llxLo.

I would advise either that a generator be attached, or that a 2^- inch flow pipe be run from the boiler to supply the new house and that a main return of the same size be used. The flow pipe can be run through the old house alongside the present main, which need not be disturbed. EXPANSION TANK OVERFLOWS. I have a, hot water heating system at my retail place in this city. The range consists of two houses, one of them 25x80 and the other 25x65. Sev- eral days ago I disconnected the heat from the house 25x80, with the inten- tion of rebuilding this house. The other house, 25x65, has a 3-inch main which rises from the boiler to a height of ten feet and then branches into two 2-inch flows, which run to the farther end and there connect with eight l*^-inch re- turns, four for each flow. The highest flow at the farther end is connected by a 1-inch pipe to the expansion tank, which is four feet above the flow. When both houses were heated, every- thing worked well, but now, when only the one house is heated, even a fairly strong fire in the boiler causes the wa- tei to flow out of the expansion tank and steam escapes with it. There is also a loud cracking and tearing sound from the pipes. Yet I do not have over one-third as strong a flre in the boiler as formerly. Can you suggest some means of overcoming this gath- ering of steam in the system and the throwing of the greater part of the water out of the overflow from the expansion tankf This overflowing is a daily occurrence, and keeps me wor- rying lest some night the system will run out all the water and cause a break in the boiler. C. W. E. The description of the heating sys- tem does not make it entirely clear whether the flow pipes run downhill or uphill, although, from the fact that the expansion tank is connected with the "highest flow at the farther end," it would seem that they run uphill. The trouble is probably due to the formation of steam in the boiler, ow- ing to the comparatively small amount of radiation now connected with it. If the flows run uphill, I would ad- vise that the direction be changed, preferably by raising the flow pipe at the boiler end and connecting the ex- pansion tank with the highest point in the system, which should be as nearly as possible over the boiler. It would also be well to locate the expansion tank several feet above the flow pipe. Attaching a generator would have the same cflFect.

There were 456 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised In 4-lncb Square Paper Pots and 105 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised In 4-lncb clay pots. The above was taken from the following report in the Market Growers' Journal, January 1, 1914. page 6. NUMBER OP STEMS IN BLOSSOM June 9 Jnne 20 June 27 On 40 plants from clay pots 45 47 121 On 40 plants from paper pots 105 229 456 When set In the field May 15th, the root sys- tems of the plants from the 4-lnch sqnare paper pots were 4-Inch cubes (64 cubic inches of soil and roots) and from the 4-Inch clay pots the root systems contulned 31 cnhic Inches of soil and roots (the amount that a 4-lncb clay pot holds). The third count of blossoms was made June 27, 42 days after the plants had been set In the field. The plants from the square pa|ier pots were then more than twice as large and vigorous as those raised in cla.v pots. All plants raised In square paper pots are larger and more vigorous than those raised in clay pots,, because they have about double root room for the same size pots. Measure the two pots and yon' will find that the 4-Inch square paper pot holds as much soil as two 4-Inch clay pots. It Is the same with square dirt hands, which are square paper pots without bottoms worth of ripe tomatoes, while 120 plants raised In 4-Inch SQUARE paper pots ((?4 cubic Inches of soil and roots) ^ had yielded 3.S pench baskets — $23. .50 worth of ripe tomatoes — 39.3 per cent more.

Business iliiiinji; tlie week was .slightly better than it has l)een and there is an almost unprecedented scarcity of roses and carnations. Up to about ten days ago there were far more of these flowers than the market could consume, but now it is almost impossible to se- cure enough to go around. Kegardless of this fact and that roses and carna- tions are both better than they have been, there is little increase in price. There is a fair demand for American Beauty roses, which are offered at about $3 per dozen. Firetlame sells readily at from $6 to .fs per hundred. Calendulas «lean out daily and bring $4. Gar- denias are also quite scarce and some of the many out-of-town orders re mained unfilled. There is little call for valley. Wallflowers are in and are being picked up as a novelty. Snaj)- dragon is scarce, particularly in yel- low, and the demand is a little heavier than usual. The receipts of violets ^ow heavier daily, forcing down the price. Sweet peas are also much more plentiful than they have been and there 18 no call for the enormous quantities of narcissi that are to be had at prac- tically the buyer's price. There has been a good demand for Easter lilies and rubrum also sells well on account of heavy funeral work and the scarcity of carnati(uis. Various Notes. The .^. 8.

Keports from the wholesale trade ap- pear to be quite satisfactory. Business has been good, notwithstanding the fiudden fluctuations of the temperature. With the exception of roses, which have shortened up considerably, there remains a full line of good stock. Prices are better and are more in keep- ing with what they should be. There is a fair demand for Beauties. Sunburst, Shawyer, Cardinal and Ward still are our best sellers. Carnations are short- ening up quite a little, for which we are glad. There have been too many on the market. Sweet peas are good and sell well. Lilacs have arrived, but there is no special demand for them. Orchids are in fine shape, price and quality meeting all demands. There are ploBty-of good lilies. Valley is selling "^ somewhat better. Jonquils, which were quite glutty at first, are becom- ing less in number. Tulips, although short in stem, are selling better. Vio- lets ars plentiful and cheap. Many potted plants are seen and sell fast. Various Notes. The New York State Federation of Florists' Clubs will hold its annual meeting at Ithaca February 10. Prof. White, head of the Floricultural De- partment of Cornell University, is ar- ranging an attractive program. He asks for a goodly delegation from the Rochester association. There has been quite a little whis- pering going the rounds. Some are anxious that the American Carnation Society hold its annual convention and exhibition in this city next year. A goodly number of Rochesterians are at Buffalo this week. George Keller, Charles Suhr and Da- vid Scott, of Corfu, are cutting some fine jonquils. Henry P. Neun had one of the pret- tiest windows in town last week. The setting was yellow and lavender. Miss Rose E. Brown has been away from business for two weeks, having developed a bad cold. Hugo Teute is cutting some beauti- ful Victoria narcissi. His cyclamens continue to bloom freely and sell well. The second delegation of students from Cornell University visited a num- ber of greenhouses in the Irondequoit section, January 23, and in the late afternoon made a tour of the flower stores in the uptown district. H. E. Wilson has a splendid display of bulbous stock of all kinds. The hya- cinths are particularly fine. H. J. H.

J For Over Two Years Our Rafters Have Been Spaced 12 Feet 1^ Inches Apart. We Were the First to do it. It's One of the Features of Our Reconstructed Construction. B [OR more than a year before we used this wide spacing on the first house, we had been experi- menting. Not only had our engineers figured it out, down to the smallest detail, the strength of and strain on every member, but we had made trial erections at our factory, and sub- jected the structures to actual tests, far in excess of anything that a completed greenhouse would be sub- jected to. In our first bouse we strengthened the long stretch of purlins by a shoi t truss, having a strut at the rafter. But we now use a special purlin brace fitting, which is just as good and looks better. With this wide spacing, not only do you have a third less rafters, but the great advantage of a third less columns as well. Had you thought of that? With a house 72 feet wide, for Httckinfifs NEW T8IK OFFICE example, and 500 feet long, you have only two columns across the house and 39 lengthwise, or 78 in all, as against 1I» with the old 8 feet 4 inches spacing. So practical in every way has this wider rafter spacing of ours proven, after its three years* test, that unirss we are greatly mistaken, you will see other builders following in our footsteps. It's going to be the construction of the future, . there's not a bit of doubt of it. Send for our special circular about it.

The Florists^ Review 113 This simple little Chinese puzzle has to do with the load of the roof exerted on the rafter at a certain point. How We Make Sure No. this is not a kite, but a diagram of the capeVs the wind cuts up waen it startd pushing on the roof. Our Roofs Are Safe and Sure UT'S EASY ENOUGH to say that if a piece of Iron of a certain size and strength will support a load of so many pounds, one twice the size would support twice the load. That's good enough as far as it goes — but it doesn't go far enough when it comes to greenhouse construction. It doesn't, because with every foot In width that you add to a bouse you shift the load. It may increase the load by three nt some points and decrease it by a half at others. You absolutely must know to a pound — almost to an ounce — Just How much the weight of the frame itself will be; How much the wind pressure will be ; How much the snow pressure of an estimated given amount will be ; How and where the pressure will be shifted from one member to another ; How much margin should be figured in for a '.'safety factor ' In the allowing of a surplus of strength for extraordinary conditions of snow and blow. You must know not only the weight and pres- sure exerted on the entire structure, but ex- actly what the weight and strain will be at any point. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) These are things that can't be figured out on tA back of an envelope "while you wait." It takes days, iSmetimes even weeks, to do It. But we never materially increase the width of our houses or make any radical change in our con- struction without first having our engineering department figure out stress and strain diagrams, like these shown here. Tnese particular ones were worked out to prove to ourselves that we could safely build a bouse 83 feet wide and use only two columns. These diagrams proved beyond all doubt that It was a safe and sure proposition ; but they also showed to us that it was possible to greatly simplify our first construction design, making the house more desirable in every way and reducing its cost considerably. It took our engineering department over two weeks, working steadily, to reach these conclusions. How, then, any other than a highly trained greenhouse en- gineer can be depended on to flgrure safe on the engineering problems Involved in big greenhouse building is more than we can understand; or how even a skilled engineer can han- dle it without the aid of information and data only such as can possibly be found in the possession of a greenhouse con- cern of years and years of experience, like Lord & Burnham. When you want to build a safe and sure bouse, be It big or little, let's talk It over together. Say when and where and we'll be there. |ofd^6Riiniham|Q.
