' ^^^ HE Beauty
' * About Our
Business Is Flow-
ers. ' ' A number
of florists
throughout the
country have
adopted" some
such slogan as
this, and yet
when it comes to
publicity they
forget to employ
any of the beauty
of the flowers in
the advertising
campaign. Every
florist attempts to
use the most artis-
t i c arrangement
possible in the
sale of flowers to
his customers; he
calls upon the art
of the potter, the
frame maker and
the designer, and
in his own store
he tries to obtain
employees with
artistic taste, yet
when it comes to
the advertising, it
seems as though
florists lose sight of the fact that ad-
vertising can reflect the beauty of
their goods. They send to news-
papers and other mediums type-set ad-
vertisements that do not have the
touch of individualism that makes
them stand out from the advertise-
ments of the grocer, the butcher, or
the candlestick-maker.

The Eye of Economy.

Much money can be wasted in ad-
vertising. Nowhere should the eye of
economy be held so sharply as on the
advertising account, and yet the ad-
vertising fund should not be stinted.
My firm has found through experience
that money spent in the ordinary
church program and the like, or in
advertising schemes presented by an
irresponsible floating advartising so-
licitor, is usually wasted. When it is
necessary, this firm dojiates to charit-
able organizations, and if, perforce,
they must take a program advertise-
ment, it is not charged so much to the
advertising account as to the profit
and loss account, under the item of
chaiity.

We have found that our best adver-
tising mediums are: First, satisfied
customers; second, direct advertising
in the form of personal letters; third,
newspaper advertising; fourth, window
displays. This general campaign is
supported by various methods of ad-
vertising, such as street car cards,

moving pictures,
Btereopticon slides,
blotters, etc.

Of course, it is
every florist's am-
bition to establish
a patronage of
satisfied custom-
ers. No better ad-
vertising medium
is to be obtained,
and courtesy and
service are our
best means of ob-
taining this pat-
ro;iage. For quick
delivery, we have
placed on the
streets not otily
an automobile de-
livery, but also a
motorcycle deliv-
ery car, which is
attracting consid-
erable attention.
As it travels the
street, its flashy
red, witTi the
firm's name on it,
causes nearly ev-
eryone to look up
and admire it. In
all the clerks and
other employees is

instilled the idea that courtesy pays

the firm in direct results.

Mailing Lists.

We have recently installed a multi-
graph machine and an addressograph
machine. In each of the towns in
which we have representatives, we have
requested the agent to prepare a list
of persons who are in the class able
to purchase flowers. In our own city,
we have been diligently at work trying
to perfect as nearly as possible a com-
plete mailing list. This part of the
work of letter writing is most impor-
tant. Much time and money can be
lost in mailing letters to persons who
have either moved away or died, or
who are not in a position to spend
money for flowers. ' After this list is
prepared, it is our ambition to get out
a neat personal letter, with some live,
attractive point that will cause the
reader to peruse it from beginning to
end. This letter is to be followed up
by a series of letters and the pros-
pective customer is to be hammered
away at until his name is entered upon
our customer list. He is then, of course,
handled with the idea in view of giv-
ing him entire satisfaction. We have
found so far that letter writing is the
cheapest and most advantageous form
of advertising possible.

The trouble about most newspaper
advertising, so far as the florist is con-
cerned, is the fact that he insists upon

depending on cold type to display the
beauty of his wares. We have at-
tempted to expend most of the funds
of our account devoted to newspaper
advertising, to attract attention to the
special florists' days, such as Easter,
Mothers' day, Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas, etc. To attract special attention
to our newspaper advei;tisement8, we
have employed artists to draw attrac-
tive Jjictures, usually of a girl, with
some decorations of flowers, our name
and telephone number. We have used
such advertisements in page, half -page,
and quarter-page spaces. It has been
our experience that such an advertise-
ment gives triple value to the space
employed, and attracts the attention
of many readers who would not other-
iprise possibly read our advertisement.

^ Window Displays.

Every florist knows that there is

nothing so beautiful as God 's gift to
man, the flowers, and yet'taany of them
fail to appreciate the fact that flowers
themselves can be made to have an
advertising value. Many Arms allow
their windows to remain undecorated
from day to day; many of them lose
sight of the possibilities in a beautiful
window display. We have found it
profitable tb ourchase beautiful speci-
mens of pottery to set oflE the beauty
<if our flowers, and each morning fresh
flowers are placed in the window for
display. A beautiful window attracts
hundreds of people to view it.

We have also found that special win-
dows, such as the Florida scene, shown
on this page, pay well. This ■^Indow
was made especially to put on salVhiin-
dreds of small century plants. lAve
baby alligators in the tank in front
attracted many persons, who remained
there for a long while looking at them.

Florida Scene That Attracted Much Attention in Window of Joy Floral Co., Nashville.

At other times we have used live gold-
fish, and we expect this fall to make up
a window of live pheasants. We have
found that these special windows at-
tract not only the attention of the
traffic passing in front of our store,
but also win newspaper commendation.

Newspaper Articles.

We have enlisted the services of the
newspapers, not with the selfish idea
of promoting the flower business of our
own concern, but for the general wel-
fare of the florists' business at large,
and have had printed a number of
articles in the way of reading notices
and editorials regarding various phases
of the flower business. For instance,
editorials have recently been published
in the Nashville daily papers, decrying
the fad of omitting flowers at funerals;
others commending the gift of flowers
on Mothers' day, etc. Articles have
been written and used in the local
papers on beautifying the home
grounds by planting flowers, on the
wonders of the greenhouses, on win-
dow boxes, on the care of plants and
flowers, and numerous other subjects.
These have been prepared in an at-
tractive manner in such shape that the
papers were glad to receive and use
them. -

Using the SCovies.

Supporting our general advertising
campaign, we make use of novel meth-
ods of advertising as they are brought
forward from time to time. Included
under this head is our recent experi-
ment in having moving pictures made
of the work being done at the green-
houses. This has been done in a man-
ner not so much to bring forward the
advertising feature of the film as it is
to make an artistic and scientific film
of the subject, covering as many phages
of flower growing as would^ really in-
terest the outsider. The film "VM^i*-
cently had manufactured was maw*oy
S. I. Conners • Co., of Nashville. It
was manufactured at a cost of about
50 cents per foot. This film has been
displayed in local moving picture
houses, in the city parks, and before
academic bodies of this«<ftiiy. It was
first made to supplement a display of
the Sam Davis picture under the aus-
pic^g^of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. Sam Davis was a Con-
federate hero, and so this picture was
not only displayed locally, but through-
out the state. Eecently a series of
pictures was made of the state of Ten-
nessee, to be displayed at the San
Francisco exposition and throughout
this state, in which views of various
commercial firms were shown.

Besides the use of moving pictures,
we have found that the display of
artistic advertising slides, picturing
some form of flower life, with the
firm's name, address and telephone
number, was also a paying method of
advertising.

Street Car Cards.

Beautiful street car cards have been
designed for the use of florists. We
have been using a series of them in a
space in every car in Nabhville, and
much favorable comment has been
made on their beautiful appearance.
We feel that this method of advertis-
ing, when combined with effective and
artistic display cards, is a valuable
medium.

When we mail our monthly state-
ments, we enclose a beautiful monthly

blotter. We have found that once in
a while a neat folder can also be en-
closed with our statements to some ad-
vantage in the saving of postage.

In conclusion, above all things the
advertising account is to be closely
watched, because it is the most easilj'
wasted. We have found it best to plan
vft campaign of advertising at the be-
ginning of the year and set aside a
certain amount of money to be spent,
and adhere to it as strictly as possible.
We have tried to make our advertising
reflect the beauty of our business, by
having beautiful advertising designs
and something entirely different from
our competitors all the time, and to
keep the firm's name always as much
^s possible in the public eye by con-
tinually hammering away at it.

There are a number of other less im-
portant ways used to support this gen-
eral advertising campaign, and each
firm undoubtedly will have to meet the
conditions as they exist in its locality.

TAKINQ COIJSUS CUTTINGS.

Could coleus that is bedded out be
taken up before frost and kept over
winter to pr5a««e — ^ttings in the
spring! / H. A. C. — Ala. '

You can lift the old coleus, but a far
better plan is to take cuttings about
the end of August and carry these over
winter in flats or pans. Such plants
will give you splendid cuttings and are,
furthermore, less liable to be infested
with mealy bug than the old plants.

I presume you refer more especially
to the green-leaved Dracaena australis.
It will make plants in 4-inch pots f6r
next spring. In order to secure really
heavy plants, an additional year's
growth would be necessary. Winter is
the best time to sow seeds, but, of
course, they can be started at any sea-
son. C. W,

hundreds of jieople to view it.

Willow street. The personal property

AFTER THE BENCHING IS DONE.

Extra Plants to Fill Blanks.

After you have finished benching the
carnations, about the first thing vou
want to do is to pot up a few plants
to be used for replacing those that die
here and there. Even though you may
have excellent success with your
newly planted stock, you will be almost
certain to lose a few plants. The extra
plants should be potted immediately
after the completion of the benching,
so they will not be too far behind those
in the benches when the replanting is
done, else the newly set plants will be
so crowded by the earlier established
plants as to make tli«pi practically
worthless. A plant that is well estab-
lished in a pot can be transferred to
the bench without any check, and if
this is done within a month after the
bench is planted it will stand an equal
chance with the rest. ' We pot into
3-inch pots if the roots will allow;
otherwise 4-inch pots are used. The
smaller the pot, the sooner the plant
will be ready to transfer to the lench.
There should not be need for more
than one plant in each hundred
benched, but to make sure of having
enough to cover all possible loss it is
advisable to pot up at least three times
that many.

i Scratching the Surface Soil.

As soon after planting as the soil
can be got into condition to work, you
should scratch over the surface, to
break up the crust which has formed
from the frequent watering and spray-
ing. If the soil is tolerably rich, there
will probably be a green scum on top
and you must get rid of this before
your plants will make any real head-
way. If the plants were well estab-
lished, it would be an easy matter to
get rid of thig scum by sprinkling a
little lime on the soil and scratching
it in, but it is not advisable to use lime
so soon aft€Q '|k|)e plants have been
benched. So you will have to do the
next best thing, and that is to stir the
surface frequently and allow it to run
a little dry for a time, but exercise
^ great care that you do not carry this
to a point where the plants will suffer
for water, for that will mean the loss
of foliage, not a good thing for a car-
nation plant at any time.

A Home-made Tool.

The first time we scratch our benches
we use a scratcher in which heavy wire
is used for the teeth and fastened onto
a piece of broom handle, • somewhat
after the fashion of the scratchers ad-
vertised in the supply catalogues, ex-
cept that the teeth are set in one
straight row. At the second scratch-
ing, which is about a week later, the
men use their hands to get out all the
weeds and to break up all the lumps
and level the soil nicely. After that

the scratchers are used again when
necessary, but the soil is not worked
so deeply as before, as the young root-
lets will then be working up near the
surface and should not be disturbed
any more than necessary.

You will see buds sticking up here
and there. Pick these off as fast as
they appear during the first few weeks.
They will produce inferior blooms on
sh6rt stems, and will have practically
no market value as compared with the
value to the plant of the energy re-
quired to produce them'.' Especially is
this true ^of the darker shades, which
cannot be. utilized in funeral work.

WHITE GBUBS ON ASTEBS.

Can you give me any information re-
garding the white grub, its origin, etc.?
"I have about 30,000 late branching
asters, set out about June 22, and I
am having trouble With them. It is
not unusual to find from twenty to 100
plants affected in one day, and as many
a§ three grubs working on a plant. I
have destroyed hundreds of grubs, but
still they keep on increasing. The
ground was plowed early in April and
was harrowed every other week until
the plants were set out, . and nothing
has been grown in it this season ex-
cept the asters. I did not use any
manure when plowing, but put sheep
manure on about ten days before
planting. I am at a loss to know what
to do to remedy this trouble. ''

strawberries badly. In addition, it
will attack a variety of flowering
plants, both outdoors and under glass.
I have seen benches of roses and
chrysanthemums almost entirely de-
stroyed by this grub. A favorite place
for the beetles to deposit their eggs
is in clods of cow manure, and, if
you find your manure alive with these
grubs, either sterilize it with steam or
use carbon bisulphide to suffocate them.

It will not be an easy matter to
clean out the grubs from a large area
of asters. I would suggest, however,
that you try £ome carbon bisulphide,
the cost of which averages 25 cents a
pound at retail. Bore holes five to six
inches deep and twelve to eighteen
inches apart, pour a teaspoonful of
carbon in each hole and at once fill
it up. Any ground thus treated will
be cleared of grubs, the carbon form-
ing a suffocating gas. I would also
keep the cultivator at work constantly
among the plants.

In the fall plow up the land af-
fected as soon as the asters have
passed. If you have one or two hogs,
they will devour an astonishing num-
ber of the pests. Poultry and birds also
are fond of them. Give the soil a
dressing of kainit, lime or gas lime
and harrow it in. This will destroy
many of the grubs. C. W.

GRAPES UITD^I^GLASS.

Will you kindly give me your opinion
of the possibilities of growing grapes
under glass, as a paying proposition!
I have one house that I should like to
try if you think it would pay, with the
right care. J. T. W.— N. Y.

I doubt if you can make grape grow-

ing under glass a profitable proposition
unless you are located in a section
where you could dispose of all your
fruit at retail. A considerable number
of growers have tried grape culture on
a commercial basis. They had no
trouble in getting splendid fruit, but
when it came to disposing of the fruit
at wholesale, the returns were not
profitable. I am acquainted with sev-
eral grape growers who made some
money a number of years ago, but they
find the profits small now. Some have
dropped them entirely. It is true that
there are still a few growers of grapes

under glass, but their number has a
tendency to decrease rather than in-
crease.

If you decide to go into grape grow-
ing you will find Black Hambro, Muscat
of Alexandria and Gros Colmaa the
three varieties of greatest value. At
present the bulk of fruit of the last
named is imported from Europe. I cer-
tainly think that if you could sell your
fruit locally at retail there would be a
fair profit, just as there would be in
growing nectarines or melons under
glass. C. W.

MUMS IN THE SOUTH.

This is the time when various pests,
such as cutworms, caterpillars, aphis
and mealy bug, are likely to appear,
and close watch must be kept to pre-
vent damage. The cutworms will be
found in the surface of the soil, near
the base of the plant on which they
have been working. Caterpillars are
best disposed of by hand-picking. Regu-
lar use of some tobacco extract will
eliminate aphis. Mealy bug is not a
common southern pest, but occasionally
it is found and is hard to eradicate
when once it gets a foothold. Hard
syringing, using a spray nozzle, and
biweekly spraying with kerosene emul-
sion, are the best remedies. Another

pest which sometimes appears, espe-
cially in the gulf states, is corythucha,
a sucking insect which hangs on the
under side of the foliage. Spraying
with kerosene emulsion will get rid of
it. Frequent spraying every day from
all sides of the beds is an important
point of the culture for the next two
months. L.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Housing the Plants.

The time for housing carnation
plants in the south is at hand. It is a

plants, before making a start at plant-
ing, so that the job can go on without
a break. Some nice rains have fallen
this season and the plants, in conse-
quence, have done well in the field.
Thero is no special advantage in plant-
ing early in July, unless in a section
where the rainy season begins early, or
in an unusually dry season, when the
plants will make a much better growth
inside.

The plants should always be lifted
in as dry a spell as possible, Tfhen there
is really no danger of a check. When
they are lifted dry, no shading is re-
quired on the houses; nor will the
plants even flag if they are sprayed a
few times each day for a week and
if the walks are kept dampened down.
All the air possible should be given
day and night. A nice ball of soil at-
tached to the roots when lifting is a
big help to the plants' reestablish-
ment, though this is far from essential
if most of the root is intact.

Plant just deep enough so the plants
will stand erect, and firm the soil well.
Many southern growers plant extremely
shallow, as a precaution against stem-
rot, but in my opinion this point is
much overemphasized. I have never
been able to trace any difference in the

ravages of this fungus in shallow or
deeper planting. \

Watering and Syringing.

The beds will need a thorough soak-
ing after planting. This watering
should keep pace with the planting
and should not be deferred until a
whole bed is planted. The soil dries
out rapidly in the sunny south and will
need a lot of water each day to keep
it in a good, moist condition. If kept
on the dry side, the plants will not
make good growth. I have found this
method an improvement on the plan of
leaving a depression at the base of each
plant and watering each plant separate-
ly. . Too much time is required for this,
without any compensating advantages.
There are probably some sections iiu.the
south where the individual watering is
the better plan, and if the plants are
lifted in a soft, sappy condition, it.
would be almost a necessity. But when
lifted dry, as they ought to be, the
plants want a good soaking at planting
and plenty of water every d&y to keep
the soil in a good, moist, growing condi-
tion.

Syringe hard every day, so long as
the hot weather lasts, to keep red
spider at bay. When this pest gets a
foothold, it is a man's sized job to get

rid of it. I have never been able to
see any advantage in running the plants
extremely dry to prevent stem-rot. The
plants are brought into the house to
grow as fast as they can with safety,
and to do this they need water and lots
of it. Besides, the stem-rot fungus will
endure more drying than a carnation
plant will and keep on growing, so it
is preferable to give enough water to
keep the plants growing steadily and
iake a chance on the stem-rot, as we
have to do in any case.

To Check Stem-rot.

Nearly every carnation grower one
m^ets, in the . south or elsewhere,
has a different theory about stem-
r<)t arid different points . in culture
to preverit it. Some even go so far as
to blame the variety for it. So far as
my experience goes, stem-rot is neither
checked nor affected by deep or shal-
low planting or by keeping the soil drjy.
To overcome' the trouble by any of
these processes, it would be necessary
to carry the processes to an extreme
that would destroy the plants. Tke
fungus is present, more or less, in sill
soils, and if it comes in cfontact with ia
plant, especially if that plant is ev^n
slightly bruised on the stem, it is onjy
a question of a short time until the
plant goes under. i

The experiment stations recommend
soaking the beds with a solution of one
part of formalin to 200 parts of water
to destroy the fungus. Here, in the
south, I would advise doing this twice,
at three days' interval, because the
heat is liable to dry up the beds before
the fungus is entirely killed if only one
application is made. Try the experi-
ment on some of the beds at least.
Formalin is cheap, and if it does no
good it will at least do no harm. L.

MB. WARD'S BEDWOODS.

For those who are so fortunate as
to receive invitations and can accept
them, there will be no feature of the
San Francisco convention more inter-
esting than the excursion planned for
a party of his trade friends by Charles
Willis Ward. He will take them camp-
ing among his redwoods.

Florists have seen little of Mr.
Ward the last few years, for he makes
his home at Eureka, Cal., but he has
lost not one bit of his interest in
the trade and, indeed, is more closely
connected with it than ever before,
as he has started a new Cottage Gar-
dens there. Mr. Ward went to Eureka
to fight^-a lawsuit regarding the dis-
posal M hi^ father 's estate. He was
a sick man at the time. Curiously, it
was as a man ill of nervous prostra-
tion and seeking surcease from idle-
ness that Mr. Ward founded the now
widely known Cottage Gardens at
Queens, N. Y. While he was winning
his point in the courts at Eureka he
aW won back his again shattered
health, for the climate there is said
to be the most even in America and
peculiarly beneficial in strengthening
the nervous system. Mr. Ward came
into possession of a splendid redwood
forest, as part of his inheritance, and
it is through this as well as to other
natural wonders that Mr. Ward pur-
poses taking his friends at convention
time, rather than to the new green-
houses at Eureka or the new nurseries
at Carlotta.

The trip among the redwoods is one
of the grandest in the world, as a

great deal of the way will be through
the noblest forest that mankind has
ever known. Many of the trees are
ten to twenty feet in diameter. The
trip can be made . either by steamer
from San Francisco to Eureka, or by
the Northwestern Pacific railroad and
special rates of fare will be provided
for. At Eureka the party will be
taken charge by citizens with auto-
mobiles. The plan contemplates a trip
to Strongs Station, on the Van Duzeu
river, thirty-five miles distant, with a
chicken dinner at the Wilson hotel.
The next move will be a run of ninety
miles to' Eequa, on the Klamath river;
then by motorboat up the Klamath to
Mr. Ward's Ah Pah ranch, which he
has fixed up for a sort of summer
camping place. He has a number of
small cabins and tents, so that from
twelve to fifteen people can be ac-

commodated. Ah Pah ranch is in the
center of the redwood belt along the
Klamath. Tho climate is extraordi-
narily pleasant and agreeable during
the month of August. If any of the
visitors become combative, there are
bears and California lions to be had,
and there is fine trout fishing in Blue
creek and they have always been able
to get all the salmon they wanted for
table use. The illustration on page
14 will give an idea of the country
the party will go through. A week's
sojourn is contemplated at Ah Pah
ranch and the time can be put in to
good advantage by traveling over the
trails and seeing the enormous trees,
with canoe trips up the Klamath and
fishing expeditions up Blue creek.

The return journey will be made
either down the river to Kequa, or
those who feel able to walk nine or

ten miles can take the overland trail
to Boyes' ranch, on Prairie creek. This
trail trip is exceedingly fine and there
is splendid forest scenery along the en-
tire route.

OABDENS AT THE EXPOSITION.

To the florist visiting San Francisco
for the S. A. F. convention this month
the gardening features will be the ones
of special interest, and for the eastern
visitor there will be many sights of
old, familiar plants in new and un-
familiar form and use: Geraniums as
hedge plants; Mesembryanthemum crys-
tallinum, the ice plant, a nati^ of
California, growing in boxes placed' one
atop the other to form a living wall
1,500 feet in length.

The European plant exhibits were
planned on a specially elaborate scale,

but the war interfered witU many of
them, just as it has with many other
features of the exposition. However,
the Netherlands gardens, two views in

rather than suffered from it; they have

Sweet Peas.

Early in August is none too soon to
make a sowing of some of the winter-
flowering sweet peas, if flowers are
wanted from October onward. Do not
use any of the grandiflora varieties,
unless it may be for home retail trade.
They bloom freely, but are increasingly
hard to sell in the wholesale markets
in competition with the winter-bloom-
ing Spencers, which are now obtainable
ifi nearly every imaginable color. The
seed of the latter is much higher-priced
than that of the grandifloras, but it
pays to procure what will sell the best.
Do not buy too many colors. In white,
Mrs. M. Spanolin and White Orchid; in
pink, Mrs. A. A. Skach and Bohemian
Girl, and Lavender Orchid, a fine laven-
der pink, are extra good sorts. Orange
Orchid is of a beautiful salmon orange
color, a telling shade, and Venus, white
with a suffusion of blush, is charming.

Sow in pans or flats of sand and
later plant out four to six inches apart
in the rows, allowing four to five feet
between the rows. The soil should
have been well trenched and plenty of
cow or well rotted stable manure added
to it, with some fine bone. The wider
and more roomy the house, the better.
Be sure you have ample head room.
Good sweet peas can be had in raised
benches in midwinter, but solid beds
are far preferable if well drained.

• Antirrhinums.

Early in August is also a suitable
time to plant out snapdragons for
winter flowering. The plants of these
should be in 4-inch pots and the flower
spikes should be allowed to open a few
flowers before being well pinched back.
If the plants are headed back earlier,
while the wood is soft, the breaks will
be weaker and many of the resultant
shoots will fail to flower at all. For
winter flowering I like to allow twelve
inches between the rows and ten inches
between the plants. It is possible to
grow snapdragons closer than this, but
iii midwinter the additional space is
really necessary and pays in the end.

Do not use more than five inches of
soil. For a good winter crop, you will
find raised benches much superior to
solid beds.

Differences of opinion exist as to
whether seedlings or rooted cuttings
make the most profitable plants for
indoor culture. The tendency is toward
seedlings. These are more vigorous and
disease-resistant, and, if the seed is
procured from a first-class specialist,
the percentage of rogues is compara-
tively small. There will be more or
less trouble with stem-rot and leaf -spot
at this season. Planting too deeply
and overwatering will produce stem-
rot. For leaf -spot, spray with Bordeaux
mixture or Fungine, and apply more
than once to insure clean plants.

Mignonette.

It is time to make a sowing of
mignonette for a winter crop. Migno-
nette must have a cold house. It likes
a good depth of soil and a cool bottom,
and no heating pipes should be below
it if it is grown in raised benches.
Mignonette will flower ' profitably for
six or seven months in a cold house.
The spikes will not all be fancy ones,
but will be of a convenient size for
use on retail places. Use a rich soil,
containing one-fourth of well decayed
cow manure. It is safer not to use
any bone or chemical manures for
mignonette. Purchase a first-class strain
of mignonette. Several special forcing
strains are offered in The Review's
columns. Sow a few seeds in little
patches a foot apart each way and thin
the seedlings out to three in each.
Care will be ecessary to prevent the
little seedlings from being eaten by
the larvae of the white butterflies,
which are partial to them. Migno-
nette succeeds best in a night tem-
perature of 40 to 45 degrees.

DUTCH BULBS FOE EASTER.

Easter comes late next year, April
23. How can the common bulbs, such
as Dutch hyacinths, tulips, narcissi,
etc., be kept back until that date?

Woidd the ordinary covering of the
buHsH^ih outdoor beda,l>e all right, if
more covering were added as the win-
ter passed, say about ttie first part of
March? We use sucj^ varieties of
tulips as Cottage Maid^ Bose Grisdelin,-
Yellow Prince, Duc^j^e de Parmfe,
Murillo and Crown ofTGold, and are
anxious to known wh/^er these could
be held back successft^y, or whether
later varieties should.twe used. Also,
would the Darwin tulifs be too long-
stemmed to use for po^ and pans?

L. E. S.— Mich.

It is true that Easter next year-
comes late, but it is quite possible to
hold hyacinths, tulips and narcissi back
until that date. If you carry your
bulbs in outdoor beds it would be a
good plan to cover the winter mulch
with additional mulch, in order to hold
frost in it to a later date than usudl.
It would be a further advantage if
you placed these Easter bulbs where
they would get a minimum of sunshine,
or, if you have a good cold cellar, you
should have no great - trouble in hold-
ing back practically all varieties.

Darwin tulips are being increasingly
used in pans. It -is true they have
longer stems, but they easily bring
much higher prices than the ordinary
early tulips. Pridfe 'of Haarlem you
will find a particularly good sort for
pans. In narcissi you should grow Vic-
toria in quantity. It is a grand late
sort. If people will try Double Von
Sion, both this and the single form
make up excellent pans. In double
tulips there is nothing better than
Murillo; Couronne d*Or is less stocky
in habit. Yellow Prince, Duchesse de
Parma, Flamingo, Pros6rpine, Keizers-
kroon and Bose Grisdelin are all use-
ful varieties.

The Review will, in a later issue,
treat this subject at greater length.

MILWAXTEEE CLUB PICNIC.

The annual outing of the Milwaukee
Florists* Club took place Sunday,
August 1, at Keipper's park, Brown
Deer, Wis. There was an exceptionally
large turnout, as the day was an ideal
one, and all enjoyed themselves im-
mensely. There were games and con-
tests galore, and enthusiasm was kept
at a high pitch all through the day.
The club members did themselves proud
on this occasion, and their efforts made
the event the most successful in years.

The first event was a baseball game
between the Cudahy Floral Co. and the
Holton & Hunkel Co. teams. F. H.
Holton handed out the decisions. The
Holton & Hunkel Co. boys won the
game bv a score of 17 to 1, and a cash
prize of $5.

- Albert Hare was the busiest man on
the grounds, as he was the whole com-
mittee. The members appointed to
serve with him were out of town, and
the entire work devolved upon him.
He was ably assisted by Eugene Oest-
reicher, secretary of the club. Presi-
dent Wm. R. Schroeder promised a

speech for the occasion, but it did not
materialize.

Each child was presented with a
novel balloon, and soon it sounded like
the European war. for they began pop-
ping as soon as tney were distributed.
Everyone was decorated with a paper
hat, and all joined in for a good time.

The line-ups of the baseball teams
were ati follows:

I THE AZALEAS i^ i
I <^ ARE DOUBTFUL I

Tiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil^

ONCE MORE BRITAIN SAYS "NO.'

Belgian Plants Again Barred.

' Great Britain again has declined to
' permit the unmolested passage to this
country of ships loaded at Rotterdam
'with Belgian products — and that means
; no azaleas this year.

The news of the affirmation of Eng-
land's recent orders in council came
July 30 in a cable message from Consul
General Skinner at London and was
made public in the diplomatic corre-
spondence published by the United
States August 4.

The British government, as reported
in The Review several weeks ago, holds
shipments from Belgium to be the same
as goods of German origin, taking the
position that the Belgian territory dom-
inated by Germany is practically Ger-
Jwian territory. At the time England
^rst announced its ban on Belgian prod-
ucts The Review asked the State De-
partment at Washington to make cer-
tain representations to the British gov-
ernment, in the hope of getting plant
shipments passed, and for a time it
looked as though these efforts would be
successful; those who consulted the for-
eign trade advisers in the government
offices at Washington were told that
the matter of bringing horticultural
supplies -out of Belgium had been taken
up by the State Department and that
there was hope of success, and last
week the department notified The Re-
view of the receipt of a cable from
Consul General Skinner at London
reading:

Shlpmeutg from Belgium before Cabinet. I
liave private adrices that plan being worked out
which will enable exports to go forward and pay-
ments to be made under certain superTision.
Uecision expected some days hence.

Apparently there are so many other

interests seeking to procure Belgian

goods via Rotterdam that the English

government fears to make an exception

in favor of Belgian plant shipments,

which are a small item as compared

with other lines.

Hope Springs Eternal.

There still are those in the trade who
expect the azaleas and other Belgian
plants to come along in due time. Some
of these figure that the embargo of the
English will be relaxed, but for the
present it seems to be becoming stead-
ily more strict. Others figure that ship-
ments will slip through, one by one, in
spite of the British, but the fact is the
Holland-America line refuses to load
any freight in any way likely to cause
the detention of a steamer. Still others
count on supplying their needs through
Holland houses, some of which have
' advertised that they already have the
^ azaleas and other Belgian plants "safe
on Holland territory," though it is
difficult to see what difference that will
make to the English or the shipowners,
neither of whom will have any doubt
of their Belgian origin. There will be
no troubles other than those of trans-
portation in getting Belgian plants
into Holland — it will be getting them

out of Holland that will be difficult.
Belgian goods form a large part of the
vast accumulation of American bound
merchandise already tied up in Rotter-
dam.

So long as the British embargo is
enforced, what we may expect is well
illustrated by the shipments of bay
trees and other plants that reached New
York last week. One custom house
broker received nearly 500 tubs of bay
trees, destined for a number of con-
signees, practically all of which were a
total loss. They had left the Ghent
district in March and April and, after
all the red tape had been unwound,
reached New York after nearly four
months on the way. Plant imports sim-
l)ly can not be made except when their
right to move, and move quickly, is
recognized by all.

About the only chance for the azaleas
to come across this season is that the
British will change their minds about
stopping money going into Belgium.

IMPORTERS PASS RESOLUTIONS.

J. McHutchison, secretary of the
Horticultural Importers ' Association,
of the firm of McHutchison & Co., New
York, wrote as follows August 2:

"Enclosed please find copy of reso-
lutions adopted by the Horticultural
Importers' Association at a recent spe-
cial meeting with regard to fall im-
portations of azaleas and other plants
from Belgium which are at present
under embargo by the British authori-
ties.

"There is still some uncertainty as
to whether or not fall shipments will

come. Cablegrams from our Belgium
and Holland coimections intimated that
fall shipments of azaleas, etc., would
be made, and when we cabled for defi-
nite statement we received the cable
response, 'Shipments permitted, but our
State Department at Washington still
insists that the matter is still under
consideration by the British Cabinet
in London, and that they have not yet
rendered their decision.'

"The point of our protest is that
inasmuch as azaleas are exclusively of
Belgian origin and production, and for
Belgian interest, they do not come prop-
erly within the regulations governing
order in council goods, but the British
authorities contend that if the pro-
ceeds of sales reach the Belgians either
directly or indirectly there is a prob-
ability of the proceeds ultimately bene-
fiting the Germans through taxation,
duress or other process."

The resolutions unanimously adopted
by the Horticultural Importers' Asso-
ciation at a special meeting held at.
New York, July 22,. — JfQS, are as
follows:

Whereas, The British order in council effectlTe
March 16, 1915, was Intended to stop the export
trade of the nations at war with Great Britain,
but is at present so interpreted by the British
authorities as to also stop the exportation of
azaleas and other Belgian plants to the United
States, because they are grown in that part of
Belgium now occupied by the enemies of Great
Britain, and

Whereas, This interpretation of the order in
council by the British authorities will do incal-
culable damage to the interests of the American
florists and the Belgian growers, without un-
favorably affecting the interests of the enemies
of Great Britain, since it is generally known
that azaleas are only grown in the Vlcinty of
Ghent, Belgium, and that the enemies of Great
Britain also must get them there, and

Whereas, It can be clearly shown that these
azaleas and other Belgian plants are of Belgian
production and origin, exclusively grown by Bel-
gians, for Belgian interests, and that none other
than Belgians get any revenue or beneflt from
their sale. Therefore be it

Besolved, That the Horticultural Importers'
Association respectfully requests our State De-
partment to use Its influence to have the British
authorities permit these shipments of azaleas
and other Belgian plants and bulbs to be exported
here the coming fall, datli^g from August 20, and
be it also

Besolved, That the secretary of this association
be instructed to present this resolution pprsonally
to the Department of State at Washington.

about 12,000 feet of glass at Oak wood,
three miles from here, for five years.
Vegetables were grown until two years
ago, when flowers were taken up. The
business in these grew so fast that it
was necessary to open the store, which
is known as Griffen 's Flower Shop. It
is in the downtown shopping district
and embodies the most modern ideas in
arrangement. From the amount of
business on the opening and. succeeding
days, Mr. Griffen does not expect to
be troubled with a dull summer.

HAIL STORMS

The latest loss which has befallen
J. F. "Wilcox & Sons, Council Bluffs, la.,
is attracting unusual attention for sev-
eral reasons. In the first place, it is
the largest haU loss of the year, al-
most every pane being broken in two
houses, each 60x1,000 feet, the largest
houses west of the Mississippi river.
The accompanying illustration shows
how complete the breakage is. The
Florists' Hail Association will be called
on to pay for the glass, and the loss
will be the largest the association with
its 1,621 members ever has been called
on to meet; indeed, the loss will be
considerably more than half the losses
of the entire fiscal year just closed,
during which the association has paid
claims amounting to $19,285.08 — the
Wilcox loss^j^ $12,000 in glass alone,
with a mucnlajger loss in stock and
labor.

But what has attracted more atten-
tion than the mere size of the loss is
the unparalleled run of misfortune
which has been visited upon this range
of glass at Lake Manawa, a few miles
from the home place in Council Bluffs.
While superintending their erection
J. F. Wilcox contracted the cold which,
developing into pneumonia, caused his
death. May 10, 1912. Then one of the
houses collapsed, before it was finished.
Next, the famous Omaha cyclone,
Easter, 1914, hit the range and did
great damage. Now it is the hail. It
seems that some strange fatality fol-
lows the fortunes of the place, although
it probably is only that the location is
one at which unusual air currents
center.

The storm that took all the Lake
Manawa glass hit several Omaha flo-
rists, inflicting losses of from five to
100 boxes of glass, but left the other
Council Bluffs places practically un-
touched.

NEWAEK, N. J.

The Market.

Business last week in the retail
flower stores yvsts quiet. Growers who
have outdoor plots -ander cultivation
were busy getting their plants in good
shape for the fall. Those who work
entirely under glass were putting the
greenhouses in trim, and planting and
caring for the young plants which will
mature in fall and winter. There have
been a number of funerals, which
have given work to some of the flo-
rists, and there is always a little
transient trade. Even in summer there
are a few social event* for which flow-
ers are purchased. The volume is not
large, however, and store proprietors
are marking time and waiting for the
opening of the fall trade. Dahlias,
which began to arrive a couple of
weeks ago, are more plentiful, and
asters are being received in large
quantities. While a fair price is re-
ceived for these, the prices of all flow-
ers are generally reasonable. Gladioli
are still plentiful and of good quality,
though beginning to deteriorate a lit-
tle. Cosmos is beginning to arrive, but
is scarce yet. Giganteums took a jump
last week. They had been selling at
about $1.50 per hundred, wholesale, and

Frank Philips, of Philips Bros., 938

good with Philips Bros., considering
the time of the year. There were a

The .T. .T. Wilson Seed Co. reports
that while there has been a falling off
in the sale of seeds during the last
few weeks, which is customary at
this time of the year, there has been
an unusually large sale of insecticides

The push cart flower dealers, who re-

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

Intense heat, . at times up to 100 de-
grees, marked the closing days of last
week, and this intensified the universal
depression in the cut flower market.

Boses and carnations are just mark-
ing time. Of the former there continue
to be a few good American Beauties
and novelties. Carnations are practi-
cally done for, the few arriving having
"fallen asleep." The seaside and
mountain resorts absorb any worth-
while roses that arrive. The dearth,
however, will soon end, and the new
cutting begin long before the market
is ready for it.

Orchids last week made a quick re-
covery from the long drawn out slump
in which they have suflPered for weeks.
Some fine Cattleya gigas sold as high
as 60 cents each, the same stock that
went a-begging not many days before
at -25 cents. The supply of orchids is
now short, and there developed an
unexpected demand.

Valley is unsettled at $2 to $2.50
for the best, and longiflorum lilies hold
at similar quotations. Of the latter
there continues a great abundance.
Swee^t peas show the effect of recent
daily showers. Dahlias are here in, as
yet, limited quantities.

As to the present aster and gladiolus
floods, these flowers absolutely domi-
nate the market, and the flow has just
begun. It is impossible to quote accu-
rate prices; they vary with the day
and hour.

Various Notes.

In another week the S. A. F. excur-
sionists will be on their way to San
Francisco. Some who gave up the
trip are reconsidering. After all, there
may be no complaints necessary as to
the limited attendance from the east.

George Siebrecht is enjoying his
summer in Westchester county.

Angelo Dentale, of Young & Nugent,
with his family, has left for a two
weeks' vacation at Wallkill, N. Y.
Miss Hanft, bookkeeper for this house,
has recovered from a severe illness.

Max Schling has left with his family
for a week's stay in the Adirondacks.
He has many weeks of landscape work
contracted for in the Adirondacks, on
Long Island and at Tarrytown.

Walter Siebrecht and family will
spend the month of August at Lake
George.

Several New Yorkers, seedsmen and
others, attended the outing of the Tar-
rytown Horticultu^l Society at Rye
Beach, August 4.

R. Vincent, Jr., offers 1,000 dahlia
blooms free of cost to a retail florist
Who will use them in a decoration at
the September show of the American
Dahlia Society.

H. C. Riedel is doing jury duty.

John Gunther suggests that for next
year's outing of the New York Flo-
rists' Club, instead of the time-honored
boat ride, an automobile trip be taken
to some Westchester county resort on
the sound. A dozen or so sight-seeing
automobiles could be engaged, and the
ride would attract a larger attendance,
while the games and dinners would be
held as before.

Miss Rose Grafman, bookkeeper for

J. K. Allen, will leave August 14 for
her annual two weeks' vacation at the
seashore. Mr. Allen has erected a
large tent in his yard, at 118 West
Twenty-eighth street, and this, with
the big trees, makes an ideal resting
place in the heart of the big city.

Paul Meconi has been enjoying his
vacation in Vermont.

The New York Florists' Bowling
Club's outing at Barnegat, N. J., was
a most enjoyable affair. Those who
participated were Joseph Fenrich, R. J.
Irwin, Wm. H. Duckham, Chas. H.
Totty, A. J. Guttman, W. P. Ford, John

Mie^em, C. W. Scott, P. Jacobsen and
H. Q. Riedel.

Margaret Hamburger, bookkeeper for

WASHTNGTON, D. 0.

Tlie Market.

Last week was one of the hottest
that Washington has seen in several
years, and the heat had its effect both
upon the production of flowers and
upon business. Dahlias are not as good
as they should be. Their loss is not
felt to any great extent, for there is
an oversupply of asters. American
Beauty roses are practically oflf the
market. The average quality of many
of the other varieties is fair consider-
ing the season of the year. Mrs. George
Shawyer, Killarney Brilliant, Double
White Killarney, Radiance and Sun-
burst are among the best sellers. With
such enormous quantities to be had,
prices are low, and $4 per hundred is
considered high for even the choicest
stock. Carnations are nearly a thing
of the past, and it is hard to get
enough of good quality to fill the oc-
casional orders. Sweet peas are done
for in this locality, although some are
coming from northern growers.

While business during the summer
has been dull, there are those who say
that conditions this year are more than
slightly better than during the same
period of 1914. Funeral work has con-
tinued heavy right along, and this has
caused a better movement of flowers
used in designs. Of course, there are
far more to be had than the market
can possibly absorb, but last year the
percentage of sales is said to have
been lower.

Various Notes.

The sympathy of the local trade is
with Frederick Leapley, of the firm of

NABOISSI FOB CHRISTMAS.

When should Trumpet major narcissi
be potted to bloom for Christmas f Is
it possible to get them in bloom so early
as thatf F. K. — Mass.

French Trumpet major narcissi, if
obtainable in August, can be flowered
for Christmas. They are a somewhat
uncertain crop, however. I think it
doubtful if you can secure bulbs this
season in time to flower them for
Christmas. 0. W.

OBITUARY

Alfred C. F. Burkhardt.

Alfred C. F. Burkhardt, for more
than thirty years a florist at Portland,
Ore., was suddenly stricken with heart
failure while working in his green-
houses Wednesday, July 28, and died a
few minutes later.

Mr. Burkhardt was 57 years of age.
In 1882 he went to Portland, and the
year after joined his brother, G. J.
Burkhardt, in forming the greenhouse
business which became known as Burk-
hardt Bros. They secured what was
then a suburban tract of land for their
greenhouses, but what is now Twenty-
third and Gleason streets, Portland.
The partnership existed until 1903,
when it was dissolved, Alfred Burk-
hardt retaining the original ^location,
which he occupied at the time of his
death.

He leaves a widow and six daughters,
the youngest a baby of two months.
Mr. Burkhardt was insured for $17,000,
and his property has advanced consid-
erably in value because of the rapid
growth of Portland. S. W. W.

WUliam H. Barnes.

William H. Barnes, a retired florist
of Independence, Kan., died at his
home, 409 South Second street, July 28,
after an illness of Bright 's disease.
Mr. Barnes was well known in state
horticultural circles, having been secre-
tary of the Kansas State Horticultural
Society from 1895 to 1907, president
and secretary each fqr two years of
the American Federation of Horticul-
tural Societies, state commissioner at the
Pan-American exposition, Buffalo, 1901,
and state delegate to national irriga-
tion congresses at Chicago and £1 Paso.

Mr. Barnes was born in New York
city, November 1, 1845. He enlisted
in the Union army at the age of 19,
being a member of the Thirty-fourth
New York Independent Field battery.
At the close of the war he married
Miss Clarissa G. Anderson, of Onarga,
HI. He went to Kansas in 1870 and
to Independence in 1872. In 1876 he
started a garden farm near Elk river,
north of the city. In 1879 he started
the business now conducted by Robert
Bunyar. By the time he sold it, in

1894, he had over an acre covered with
glass.

Mr. Barnes was active in G. A. B.
work and was a member of the A. O.
XJ. W. He had been a member of the
Methodist church for thirty-one years.
He is survived by Mrs. Barnes and
eight sons and daughters. They are
George E. Barnes, of Perry, Okla.; W.
E. Barnes, of Independence; H. H.
Barnes, of Wichita; A. F. Barnes, of
Independence; Lotta L. Johnson, of
Pueblo, Colo.; Irma T. McDougall, of
Los Angeles, Cal.; Walter M. Barnes,
of Hot Springs, Ark., and Chas. S.
Barnes, of Denver, Colo.

Patrick Beynolds.

Patrick Reynolds, one of the oldest
and best known landscape gardeners in
Newport, R. I., died at his home, 62
Bath road, Sunday, July 25, after an
illness of only two weeks. He leaves
two sons, John Reynolds, of New York,
and James Reynolds, of Newport, who
was associated with his father in busi-
ness. For several years Mr. Reynolds
had conducted an independent business
as forester and landscape gardener. -

COLD STOBAGE MULTIFLOBUM.

Will you kindly tell me how to grow
cold storage multiflorum lilies f I nave
them potted outside, covered with
ashes. They are in 6-inch pots, two
bulbs to a pot. They have been potted
for three weeks. Can I have them in
bloom by the middle of September t I
shall be thankful for any information
regarding these flowers.

C. A.— Pa.

I would have preferred to stand these
lilies in a cellar or even below a green-
house bench, clear of drip, rather than
outdoors under ashes. Any drenching
rains will seriously harm them and the
shoots are liable to be broken in re-
moving the ashes. These cold storage
lilies do not need covering in this way.
You should have no trouble in flowering
these lilies by the middle of Septem-
ber. Allow three to four weeks from
the time you see the buds. C. W.

Guckert property, at 7631 Ridge ave-
nue, Roxboro, for nearly two years, ia

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

VThe press committee of the national
nower show already has begun its work.
The Philadelphia Record for July 24 con-
tained a 2 -column illustrated write-up.

Consult the index and the table of
contents — there's too much good stuff in
The Review for you to get it all by rif-
fling the pages. Use the indexes; they're
put there for your benefit.

In Great Britain there is an excellent
law against the giving of secret commis-
sions, with a strong society to secure its
enforcement, which rejwrts that in the last
year 101 convictione were obtained.

Collections in the trade are good
pnough to make it look as though florists
belling to the public are becoming bet-
ter collectors and less hesitant about
.asking for reasonably prompt settle-
ments.

Among the guests at the Claremont
hotel, Berkeley, Cal., on a recent day,
were John Young, of New York ; Ed-
ward Sceery, of Paterson, N. J.; R. C.
Kerr, of Houston, Tex., and C. P. Muel-
ler, of Wichita, Kan.

If those who have bills to pay in other
cities will remember that city banks make
a charge for collecting cheeks, they will
save wholesalers, seedsmen and the trade
newspaper an appreciable sum of money,
that can be employed in giving improved
service. Banks nearly all issue Chicago
or New York drafts without charge for
their customers, and these should be used
for all remittances over $1. Small sums
may be remitted in 2-cent postage stamps
wrapped between pieces of wax paper, so
that they will not stick together.

AMERICAN GLA'fiilOEtJS SOCIETY.

The annual meeting and election of
officers of the American Gladiolus So-
ciety will be held at the Casino, New-
port, R. I., August 18, at 7:30 p. m.,
by order of the president.

H. Youell, Sec'y.

HONORABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $3, or son^e-
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:

TWO YEARS.

Brown, C. W., Ashland, Mass.
Ullrich's Greenhouses, Tiffin, 0.
Heath, George, Morris, 111.
Currie Bros. Co.. Milwaukee, Wis.
Rike, W. W., Le Roy, 111.
McCabe, M. J., Washington, D. C.
Ballou, W. A.. Wheaton, 111.
Palmer, Mrs. W. D., Newman, Ga.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

DECREASED ATTENDANCE.

Unfortunately, sharply decreased at-
tendance is almost the rule at trade
affairs this summer. But it has been
several years since any of the older
national organizations has attracted an
attendance that increased even so fast
as the trade has grown. It is a cer-
tainty that the S. A. F. will have, at
its convention this month, an extremely
small attendance of members east of
the Rocky mountains. But it is not
entirely due to the distance to San
Francisco. The fact is the S. A. F.
convention for several years has shown
a tendency to become a local affair;
the trade no longer in any considerable
numbers will travel any great distance
to attend the convention. Chief of
the reasons for this seems to be the
fact that the trade at large is better
informed and more widely traveled
than in earlier times; there no longer
is the strong desire to see what the
trade is doing in the vicinity of the
convention city, or to see the country,
while as for the convention itself, that,
too, has become an old story. Then,
too, it must be remembered that,
whereas the pioneers of the trade
talked, ate, slept, drank and thought
shop, the new generation has many
other interests. Now the tendency is
to work hard during business hours, to
master the business, to make it a suc-
cess, profitable, and to turn to other
interests at the end of the business
day; the florist spends has leisure in a
motor, not in a boiler shed; his vaca-
tion on an outing, not at a gathering
of men in the same line as himself on
business bent. If an important trade
gathering is held fairly close by, he
gives it a day, or two days, but not
a week.

It is to be noted, too, that sales to
those attending conventions have de-
creased. Time was when buyers laid.-,
in their fall stocks at convention; ft*^
was about the only chance they had.
But buying and selling has become sys-
tematized. The average buyer is in
constant touch with the sources of sup-
ply. He buys many small bills through
the year rather than a few large ones
all at once. He may look over a line
at a convention, but he does not place

an' order; he says to the salesman:
"I'll wait till you call," or "I'll write
you some day when I see your ad."
It all counts as affecting convention at-
tendance.

The S. A. F. has a larger paid up
membership than ever before in its his-
tory, largely due to the indefatigability
of its secretary, but it is doubtful if
its highwater mark for conventions was
not passed some three years ago.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATJIER.

1^^^ Weekly weather forecast, is-

^^^^^ sued by the U. S. Weather
V^^^^ Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
1^^ the week beginning Wednes-
' day, August 4, 1915:

For the Region of the Great
Lakes — Showers, followed by
generally fair weather except
in the northern upper Lake
region, where showers are
again probable about August 6 and 7.
Temperatures will be moderately low,
followed by a rise by August 7 in the
upper (Lake region.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Generally fair weather
is indicated during the week, except in
the Dakotas and the Missouri valleyj >
where there will be showers about
August 7; moderately low temperatures
for a day or two will be followed by
somewhat higher temperatures.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
The weather will be generally fair dur-
ing the week, with temperatures slightly
below the normal for two or three days,
iOllowed by a slight rise thereafter.

CHICAGK).

The Market.

Following last week's rush for stock
for funeral work, the Chicago market
has slipped back to the usual summer
quiet. The conditions, thougli^ are not
usual. Because of the anomalous
weather with which this section of the
country has been favored this summer,
there is an unusually large supply in
all lines of stock. The heavy demand
of last week, which continued until
July 29, was taking care of this sup-
ply, until a number of growers who do
not ordinarily ship to Chicago thought
they scented an opportunity and be-
gan shipping here just when the ebb
in the demand set in. This, in connec-
tion with the regular heavy receipts,
has left the market overloaded with
all kinds of stock.

Roses are in supply considerably in
excess of the demand and, as they are
inclined to open quickly, they must be
moved at once. This fact, together
with the large quantities and what
W. E. Lynch used to call the lacka-
daisical demand, has pulled the price
down to a low figure for all but the
most choice stock. There is a good
supply of young Beauties, but Russell
leads them for the little demand there
is. Ophelia, Sunburst and Milady all
are plentiful. Killarney Brilliant has
the call ahead of Killarney, which it
i* appears to have largely displaced with
many growers.

Asters in abundance and in all
lengths and colors are to be seen every-
where. Of course, there is the usual
quantity of small, open-centered and
short-stemmed stock that cannot be
moved at any price. But a large part
of the asters received this year are of

August 5, 1915.

AnoasT 5. 1915.

excellent quality. The daily receipts,
however, are bo large that most of the
wholesalers find it impossible to clear
them at any price.

Carnations are at the ebb tide and
the demand for them is negligible, but
there still are a few good indoor carna-
tions and considerable quantities of
field stock. Gladioli are in heavy sup-
ply and, though they are moving much
better than most seasonable stock, they
are by no means clearing. Daisies,
feverfew, gypsophila and coreopsis
serve only to ornament the tables of
the wholesalers. Easter lilies have
again retired to a corner, while the
colored varieties can find few buyers.
Valley is inconspicuous. Ferns, which
were practically out of the market dur-
ine the rush last week, are again plen-
tinil, as are all other greens.
The Eastland Flowers.
There have been many unwarranted
statements regarding flowers for the
victims of the Eastland disaster. It
has been said that prices were raised
to an extortionate degree. It is not
true. If any florist was charged more
than ordinarily good midsummer prices,
it was because he was in too big a
hurry or too indolent to acquaint him-
self with the general market situation.
! Growers overestimated the strength of
the demand and sent in many flowers
^that proved difieult of sale. It has
^^been stated that 'florists had so much
business they were not abte to cope
; .with the demand. It is true that sev-
; eral stores in the vicinity most affected
•i by the disaster were taxed beyond
. their resources, but it was because
their staffs consist of only two or three
or, at best, a few persons; the business
they did would not have troubled any
one of a dozen of the larger stores,
and there were several of the best
equipped establishments that had^ no
business whatever for Eastland victims.
The daily newspapers reported the aver-
age design as costing $15. The state-
ment was not only untrue, but was de-
cidedly harmful, as it had a tendency
to deter people from entering flower
stores. There were, of course, many
hundreds of orders, but it was rare that
one exceeded $10 and there were great
numbers at $1 and $2.

Those who concern themselves about
the reputation and the future of the
business deplore the loose talk the pub-
lic so frequently hears.

When money value is considered,
C. H. Fisk, C. Prauenfelder, H. N.
Bruns and Schiller's Madison street
store had the bulk of the Eastland
business; they got most of the orders
of fair size. Others, however, had the
bulk of the business when number of
orders is considered. W. F. Vlk, the
(Lawndale Floral Co., J. A. Mendel,
James Bilek, Emil Jehlik and others on
the southwest side all had scores and
in some cases hundreds of orders. The
Warren Park Floral Co., W. Scott,
manager, which started in business last
September at 5937 West Twelfth
street, made seventy-two pieces in
forty-eight hours.

A committee consisting of J. L.
Baske, chairman; Eric Johnson, treas-
urer; Cornelia By an, secretary, W. P.
Kyle and Andrew Chronis undertook
the task of managing a sale of flowers
August 4 in beha& of the Eastland re-
liex fund. The use of the vacant store
at 217 South State street was secured
as a sales room, and, though the bad
weather undoubtedly operated against

hit the local nail on its head. "The
article is decidedly sensible and well
written, according to my view," he
says. "I tried to get the florists in
my neighborhood to close on Sunday,
but without success. Last year two of
us closed on the Sabbath during July
and August, but this year I am doing
it alone, as far as I know. I have al-
ways advocated closing on Sunday and
would like to see it done the year
around. It is a shame that the florists,
saloonkeepers and Greek fruit dealers
are the only business men who cannot
make a living in six days a week.
Keep up the good work and push Sun-
day closing."

Jnly Weather.

July was an unusually favorable

month for those who work under glass
and good for most field stock. For the
third consecutive month the weather
was cool and moist. The month, with
an average temperature of 70.2 degrees,
was the coldest July since 1895, and it
averaged 2.2 degrees below the normal.
No daily temperature reached 90 de-
grees, the highest being 88 degrees
July 15. The lowest temperature was
53 degrees. An appreciable amount of
rain fell,, on fourteen days, well dis-
tributed throughout the month. The
total was 5.57 inches, which is an ex-
cess of 1.93 inches. Much cloudy
weather, of course, was a natural ac-
companiment of the frequent precipi-
tation and only fifty per cent of sun-
shine was noted, the lowest for July

within the history of the local weather
office.

Varions Notes.

An indication of the condition of
other markets is to be seen in the fact
that W. H. GuUett & Sons, [Lincoln,
111., who have consigned their cut to
St. Louis, now are sending part of it
to Chicago, and that Holton & Hunkel
Co., which has its own wholesale store
in Milwaukee, is consigning a part of
its cut to the John Kruchten Co., in
this city.

N. J. Wietor ran his Haynes car
18,000 miles in a year; then he bought
a Locomobile and has driven it 22,000
miles in two seasons. With 40,000
miles behind him, Mr. Wietor says he
is becoming satiated and his friends

The rich lady's wedding at Harbor
Point, Mich., July 31, brought a little
business to Chicago. The Fleischman
Floral Co. had the order for the bou-
quets. C. W. McKellar supplied a con-
siderable quantity of Easter lilies and"
white and pink gladioli, but the decora-
tion was done by the bride's gardener.

O. W. Frese gives it as his opinion
that business should be called good for
the first week in August. He says re-
tail florists in general through the
country are doing more business this
summer than ever before.

A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling

"All set for another season" was

During the Summer Months

it is not always an easy matter to get good stock to fill an order— the quantity is not lacking,
but very often the quality. If you place an order with us, you can rest assured it is going to
be right when you get it, in price, quality and prompt delivery. For this week we suggest :

ASTERS

$1.00 to $2.00 per 100
$6.00 to $16.00 per 1000

A large supply and a fine grade of flowers.

, GLADIOLI

$3.00 per 100 300 for $5.00

We use only the best varieties for filling
your order.

EASTER LILIES

50 for $4.00 $6.00 per 100

In any quantity, and the price is surely
attractive.

ROSES
Maryland, Thora, Hadley, $3.00-$6.00 per 100
Kussell in limited quantity, $4.00-$8.00 100
250 medium-stem Boses for $5.00, our as-
sortment, a gpod selection of colors.

SPHAGNUM MOSS-$S.OO per 6-bbl. bale, 6 bales for $10.00

The Market.

It is not a pleasant duty to report
the market this week. There are so
many outdoor flowers of good quality
that it seems a shame to waste them.
Such really fine stock deserves to meet
with ready demand, but it does not.
The hot weather, the daily rain and
good culture have brought in heavy
supplies of early asters; add to them
the gladioli and the everyday summer
flowers; then add the greenhouse stock
and the sum total is far and away in
excess of the demand. Prices are low,
even for this season of the year, and the
waste, when sacrifice sales cannot be ob-
tained, is large.

Cattleyas are the only scarce flowers
on the market. There has been quite
a demand for orchids for funeral work,
a demand that has caused the price to
advance to $6 per dozen. The only
other features of the market necessary
to record are to again call attention to
the really fine quality of the stock for
midsummer and to the excellent va-
riety. Everything on the list is good
for the season. The volume of sales
is probably as large as usual, but flow-
ers are cheaper; it takes more flowers^
to reach the same total of dollars and
cents as in former years. In some cases

it has been necessary to stop ship-
ments, the wholesalers finding it im-
possible to make an outlet for all the
flowers coming into town. Gladioli are
a little less plentiful than a week ago,
due quite as much to the low prices
as to the crops going off. Indications
point to early asters having passed
their best. This means that the finer
varieties of asters will soon be in the
market. Lilium rubrum has made its
appearance. Sweet peas from New
York state are of excellent quality.

Current Events.

Every florist will take pride in the
beautiful display of planting made in

front of Convention hall, at the north-
east corner of Broad street and Alle-
gheny avenue, where the national
flower show will be held next spring.
Last month two of our most enterpris-
ing houses obtained permission from
the city authorities to beautify the
vacant spaces in front of the hall.
These spaces, two in number, lie on
each side of the main entrance on
Allegheny avenue. Each space is about
45x90 feet, stretching from the pave-
ment to the hall, one to the west, the
other to the east of the entrance. The
space on the west has been taken by
the Henry F. Michell Co., that on the
east by Henry A. Dreer, Inc.

The Michjll plot is handsomely laid
out, with a large central bed of crotons,
two smaller beds, one on each side,
filled with flowering vincas and the
new scarlet verbena, Karl Muller. As
a background a large bed has been
laid out along the line of the hall. This
is filled with evergreens of choice va-
rieties, the yellow canna, Mrs. Alexan-
der Wallace, and the handsome scarlet
geranium, Alphonse Eicard. These
four beds are laid out on a velvet
green carpet of grass. The remarkable
feature about this grass is that while
the seed was sown about the middle of
July, it is now, early in August, luxu-
riant as though in its second season.
Thanks to the choice special Evergreen
mixture, to the heat, to the rain, to
the mowing, to say nothing of the care-
ful preparation of the soil, this lawn
is really wonderful.

The Dreer plot on the eastern side
shows a lawn of superb quality. The

grass is worthy of the highest praise.
The planting is in keeping with the
surroundings. The center of the plot
is filled by a specimen Phoenix rupi-
cola. On either side of this beautiful
specimen palm are choice beds of
Dreer 's double fringed petunias just
coming into bloom. The bed bordering
the hall, which forms a background,
is filled with two varieties of cannas,
a dwarf and a taller growing sort; in
front of these an edging of pennisetum.
Both exhibits, planted so recently,
are now object lessons in the best
floral taste that will elevate the stand-
ard in many of our city and suburban
homes.

Various Notes. '

H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers-
dorfer are expected to reach this city
August 5 on their return from Japan.

B. Eschner, writing from Sitka,
Alaska, to a friend in. this city, says:

"We are having a wonderful trip, see-
ing many unusual sigh^ts; only one
florist's shop and he subscribes for
The Keview and he was glad to see a
Rice man, as he had read our ads in
The Review."

Samuel W. Sproul, right-hand man
for Stuart H. Miller, was married July
28 to Miss Mildred — I am not quite
sure of the lady's last name. She will
receive your best wishes as Mrs. Sam-
uel W. Sproul.

Charles H. Grakelow will open a
new store at Broad and Cumberland
streets about October 1, to which loca-
tion he will move his business from his
present quarters on Cumberland street.

William G. Stephen, with Berger
Bros., has returned from a pleasant
vacation spent at the seashore and in
calling on the neighboring florists.

Robert Q. Shoch reports conditions
in the south as encouraging. His
orders have been larger this season

Clarence Upton has taken his family

Considerable interest has been shown
in the reglazing on the Plorex Gar-

has so far been a bad summer; the
downpour of rain every day or so for
the last two weeks has tended to de-
teriorate flowers and carnations in the
fields, and farmers throughout this sec-
tion are complaining that all crops are
as good as destroyed.

The market is glutted with all kinds
of cut flowers. Gladioli in all colors
and varieties are so abundant that one
can buy them at his own price. Asters
are perfect, but cannot find sufficient
sales to take care of the cut. Fine
dahlias are arriving. Shasta daisies
are good and easily disposed of in bas-
ket trade. Fine carnations are still to
be had. Roses, especially Beauties, are
extremely plentiful and can be bought
at reasonable prices.

Various Notes.

Great plans are being made for the
flower show, which will be the largest
ever undertaken here. The Toledo Flo-
rists' Club has joined with the board
of directors of the Toledo Art Museum
in making plans for a large chrysan-

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The present business lull, which is
characteristic of the hot months, has
settled down too comfortably to please
anyone, and there seem to be no indi-
cations of an early return of better
business. A large number of regular
store patrons have gone to the sum-
mer resorts, with the result that that
channel of trade has been narrowed
considerably. To offset this loss part-
ly, there is a small transient trade
caused by the large number of tourists
who flock to Buffalo for the lake trips.
This steamer trade, however, is small
when compared with that of New York
before the outbreak of war. There
has been the usual amount of funeral
and wedding work.

Last week gladioli arrived in large
quantities. Most of the varieties were
represented, but America was the best
seller because of its adaptability to
almost any occasion. A few asters
were seen, but they were small and
short of stem. Summer roses were
go0d, considering the hot weather.
Carnations were only fair. Some of
the growers have planted their carna-
tions outdoors, and are not cutting
blooms during the hot weather. There
was a large demand for sweet peas,
and the supply was adequate. Lilies
of the valley fell off in sales, despite
the good stock to be had. There was
not much movement in summer orchids.
Table ferns were too small to be of
any account, and native hardy ferns
were plentiful.

hill stands the •windmill with its large
revolving fan. Nearby a stream of
water flows gently over pebbles and
grasses to the valley below, where it
propels the paddle wheel of another
mill. From there the stream is led
into a large mill pond, in which gold-
fish have been placed. The pond is
studded with pond lilies and lily pads,
and the banks are covered with green
moss. The background of the pond
consists of banks of plants artistically
arranged, which give the finishing
touch to the whole scene. At night
lights are placed within the mills,
making the scene more realistic than
by day.

William J. Palmer will spend part
of August at his summer home, at

The Market.

In spite of the muggy weather and
general depression, business continues
in a fairly healthy condition. Boses
are arriving nicely, and the first crop
of Shawyer and Ophelia is selling rap-
idly in all grades. Outside stock has a
steady demand, and snapdragons, cen-
taureas and gladioli have been added
to the list this summer. Sweet peas
gave promise of a fine crop, but last
week a disease appeared, which ruined
the bloom and made picking unprofit-
.able. The peas attacked were a total
loss. Inside peas, however, are far
better than any grown for some time,
and are much sought after. Asters are
in bloom this week, which is slightly
later than usual.

Various Notes.

William Fendley has purchased a
large fruit farm near Norval, and in-
tends to produce heavily of small fruits
. next season. Some of the younger men
continue to enlist. Walter Edwards
has left the rose section to join the
Thirty-seventh regiment.

The employees of the Dale Estate
have organized a cricket club. The
oflScers are: President, T. W. Duggan;
captain, S. Campbell; vice-captain, A.
Wicks, and secretary-treasurer, T.
Boonham. The corn-nittee consists of
A. Budd, W. Haines, T. Hall and A. J.
Stewart. Vigorous practice commenced
on the new grounds about a fortnight
ago, and July 31, with the temperature
at 90 in the shade, a test match was
played between teams chosen by the
captain and vice-captain, in which the
vice-captain's eleven won by a large
margin of runs. W. G. P.

Catskill, N. Y. — George H. Pearson is
building another large greenhouse on
his place at Jefferson Heights.

Washington, D. C. — The Franciscan
Monastery has secured a building per-
mit for a large greenhouse, which will
be erected on Sixteenth street, near
Qnincy street, northeast, at an esti-
mated cost of $3j000.

PAGES OF RETAILEBS' CARDS

This department for tbe cards of
Leading Retail Florists — tbose flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
many years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let.
your customers know youj
can perform this service]
for them. To receive yourL
share — well. The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — now
— before you forget it?

The Market.

In spite of the week of excessively
hot weather, the cut flower market has
held up remarkably well. While it is
true that prices on the average are
rather low, 4^rge quantities of stock
have been moved. Some prominent per-
sons' deaths called for more than the
usual amount of funeral work, which
accounted for the increased demand.
Asters of the better grades are sold
at a fair price, but thousands of short-
stemmed blooms go at the buyer's
price. In roses, Kadiance, Maryland
and Double White Killarney are the
easiest sold, providing they are of fair
quality. The shorter stock of Killarney
and White Killarney goes to the street
boys at sacrifice prices. Good white
roses were in demand all the week.
Gladioli are still a glut and are hardly
of as good quality as heretofore. Car-
nations are about over.

Various Notes.

Jos. Weiner has discontinued his
store at Charles and Franklin streets.

L. B. Glick, of the Leo Niessen Co.,
is off on a two weeks' vacation.

Hamilton's Flower Shop is showing
a neat window decoration of fancy-
leaved caladiums and ferns.

W. E. Milburn, of Middle River, is
shipping an average of 8,000 Wers
daily to the S. S. Pennock-MeehanCo.
They are of good quality and easily
disposed of.

Perry motored to Pen Mar to attend
the meeting of the Maryland Horticul-
tural Society, and took a few side trips
en route.

A fairly large number of local flo-
rists made the journey to Pen Mar to
attend the meeting of the Maryland
Horticultural Society, July 29 and 30.
Some made the trip in automobiles
from the city; others went by train.
Some of those registered were: James
Hamilton, I. H, Moss, Chas. H. Cook
and party of six; William (Lehr, James
Glass, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Newton,

C. M. Wagner, H. W. Wagner, N. F.
Flitton, Mr. and Mrs. .T, W. Boone, An-
drew Anderson and William Christie.

The annual picnic of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club will be held
Wednesday, August 18, at Miller's park,
A fine program has been arranged by
the committee, with a large list of
prizes. The usual crab feast will be
given. Members are asked to get in
trim for the ball game and bowling.
Music and dancing are arranged for.

The Market.

There appears to be no sign of im-
provement of business. In wholesale
circles trade seems to be dead, and
huge quantities of flowers continue to
pour into the market. Roses are the
chief sufferers from the heat. Carna-
tions are soft and considerably smaller
in size, with an abundance on the mar-
ket. Sweet peas are plentiful and of
good quality. Asters in all colors are
flooding the market; prices are low.
Gladioli are abundant, the two best
sellers being Rochester White and
America. Easter and calla lilies are
plentiful, but there is no great call for
them. Double gyppophila is in splen-
did condition and sells easily. Large

Various Notes.

A special committee meeting was
held July 27 to decide whether or not
the Rochester Florists' Association
should hold a picnic this summer.
Harry E. Bates was elected chairman,
and committees were appointed to plan
for location, transportation, refresh-
ments, sports and music. A delegation
was appointed to visit the flower stores
to persuade proprietors to close at noon
on the date to be decided upon, thereby
giving employees a chance to attend
the picnic.

Mrs. Edwin P. Wilson, secretary of
the Lady Florists' Auxiliary, met with
a painful accident July 26. A rug
slipped from beneath her, causing her
to fall backwards and break her left
arm against a door post. We are glad
to state that she is making satisfactory
progress.

John Curtis, of Irondequoit, N. Y.,
whose serious accident was recorded
last week, is making good progress.

The East avenue display window of
the George T. Boucher store has been
attractively arranged. The floor is
covered with green moss, and in the
center a 5-foot pool of water with a
fountain has been built. Bustic stones
with Boston ferns and large vases of
America gladioli are placed around the
pool. The effect at evening is pretty,
a large electric dining-room dome being
suspended from the pergola directly
over the fountain. Fish and miniature
boathouses complete the picture.

Bichard Roe is spending two or three
weeks' vacation with relatives at Ot-
tawa, Canada.

Miss Winslow and Mrs. Owens are
taking their vacation at Silver lake,
and expect to be away for two weeks.

Miss H. B. Ellis is spending two
weeks' vacation with her sister, at her
cottage at Sea Breeze, N. Y.

The Market.

The supply of flowers is comparative-
-ly small. Many growers are sending in
nothing and stalls in the markets have
a half deserted appearance. The de-
mand is feeble, but a shade better than
a week ago. American Beauty roses
move slowly at $8 to $12 per hundred.
Hybrid teas in variety sell at from 50
cents to $8, a small number only reach-
ing the top figure. Ophelia, Miller,
Taft, Kaiserin and Russell are leaders.
Carnations get fewer each week and
are of poor quality, but sell at higher
prices. Asters will soon dominate the
market. Continued rains and fogs have
damaged many, but Queen of the Mar-
ket is now of ^ood quality. Gladioli
are arriving freely from outdoors and
low prices rule, many going as low as
$1 per hundred.

Valley is druggy and low in price;
so are all varieties of lilies. Sweet
peas haye been adversely affected by
the continuous rains, but good flowers
sell well. Among other flowers noted
are cosmos, dahlias, perennial phlox,
gypsophila and montbretia, but the call
for these is light. There is little call
for cattleyas and gardenias.
Various Notes.

The Boston delegation to the San
Francisco convention, which left Au-
gust 4, proved to be the smallest that
ever left this city, consisting only of
President P. Welch and wife and T. J.
Grey and wife. Others who had talked
of going changed their minds. Not a
solitary grower will be present from
this section, something which has never
occurred before. Dull business, the
long trip "and long necessary absence
from hoiiie, added to the August heat,

other additions to the party. Patrick
Welch is due home September 2.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Penn, who ar-
rived home August 3 from their de-
lightful transcontinental trip, are full
of enthusiasm for the two California
expositions and the many other scenic
wonders enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Penn start August 5 on their Pa-
cific coast trip.

Thomas Roland will finish his indoor
tomato crop in about a week. He has
picked nearly 100 tons of fruit. He
will follow tomatoes with roses in one
large house and devote the other to
winter Spencer sweet peas.

W. H. Elliott, wife and family are
spending the summer at Mr. Elliott's
summer home at Madbury, N. H. Ex-
cellent summer roses are arriving from
Madbury, including Miller, Prince de
Bulgarie and Ophelia. From Brighton
the Kaiserins and Beauties are good.

Business last week at Penn's was^
chiefly funeral work. This week two
large weddings give a little variety.
One window is entirely devoted to
gladioli, while the duck farm in another
remains as great a drawing card as
ever.

Attractive window boxes might be
more used over the entrances to florists'
stores. The Houghton-Gorney Co., on
Tremont street, have some excellent
boxes which wonderfully improve the
exterior appearance of the store and
give it an air of refinement.

Edward Bingham, of Dedham, who
specializes in violets and English prim-
roses, says that he has lost fully two-
thirds of his primrose plants, owing to
the abnormal rainfall of July. Many
growers who have planted stock on low
ground are having serious losses.

W. A. Hastings is receiving a splen-
did assortment of gladioli from the
Brooklands Gardens, at Woburn. These
include some of the newer varieties.
His principal shipper, J. A. Nelson, of
Framingham, is busy housing his carna-
tions, and the plants were never of

among the new additions this season.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
who will make a month's transconti-
nental tour, will include both California
expositions in his itinerary, but will
not attend the S. A. F, convention.

Neil Boyle, of Maiden, states that
Ophelia is making splendid growth,
ahead of all other roses. He continues
to market a nice lot of Ward, Double
White Killarney and Eichmond.

The annual exhibition of gladioli,
phlox, asters and other annuals will be
held at Horticultural hall August 7
and 8.

July broke all records in the annals
of the weather bureau for precipitation,
with a fall of nearly nine and one-half
inches. This far exceeds that of any
previous July. We continue to have
frequent thunder showers and consider-
able fog, which gives the country a
luxuriant appearance, although it is
hard on mountain, lake and shore re-
sorts.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
has a fine lot of poinsettias coming on.
About 2,000 are now in 6-inch pots.
These will carry one large bract each.
Quantities of later propagation are com-
ing along. Three houses are devoted
to mums, the majority being Major
Bonnafifon. One house is planted with
Adiantum Croweanum, and one with
Asparagus Sprengeri. A large quan-
tity of valley is forced and daily ship-
ments are made to Boston. W. N. C.

grown stock. From reports, there is
little trade except funeral work. The
glut of gladioli has lessened, and prices
for extra choice quality have gone to
$2.50 per hundred. The common varie-
ties remain at $1 per hundred. The
cut of roses is quite heavy, but extra
fancy long roses are scarce. The bulk
of the Killarney varieties have short
stems. Hadley, Ophelia and Kaiserin
have better stems and hold top price.
Carnations continue to show up well
and the market is well supplied. Asters
are having the call at present. White
and purple sell well, but the other
colors drag. Sweet peas are few.
Lilies and valley are equal to the de-
mand. A lot of outdoor stock helps to
crowd the market. There are good
greens of all kinds.

Various Notes.

The members of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club should not forget the meet-
ing to be held August 12 at Joseph
Hauser's dahlia farm, Webster Groves,
Mo. The annual election of officers will
take place. Members can take the
Ferguson-Kirkwood car to Harper place
and walk one block north. Mr. and
Mrs. Hauser have made many prepara-
tions for entertaining the club and are
looking forward to the largest meeting
evier held.

Mrs. Henry Emunds and her two
daughters, of Belleville, 111., left last
week for a three weeks' visit to rela-
tives at Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Emunds
will join them the last week of their
stay. He reports his young chrysanthe-
mum plants in fine shape.

C. C. Sanders, head of the Sanders
Nurseries, will start on an extensive
western trip this week, which will take
up the month of August. He intends

Mrs. En^l Schray and her two chil-
dren have "spent a vacation of several
weeks with relatives at Moro, HI. They
are expected home this week.

Frank X. Qorly, of Grimm & Gorly,
says he received a letter from Vincent
Gorly, who, with his wife, is spending
the summer in California, in which he
says he receives all the St. Louis news
through The Eeview, for which he
watches eagerly each week.

James Gurney, superintendent of
Tower Grove park, can be seen daily
at the big pond watching the water
lilies. This is Mr. Gurney 's hobby and
he has a number of new seedlings,
which he points out with great pride.
This pond is one of the great attrac-
tions of the park.

Count Andy Von Hoffman, manager
for George Waldbart, is back from his
vacation. Mr. Waldbart is sending in
a fine cut of outdoor stock from his
Clayton farm.

Clarence H, Bentzen, son of William
T. Bentzen, eloped with Miss N, Breit-
ling, July 26. Mr, Bentzen and his
bride sent greetings to their friends

Patrick J. Ratigan, of Calvary ceme-
tery, says it is not often a stork visits
a cemetery, but one did come last week
and left a fine baby girl, Mr. Ratigan 's
home is in the cemetery, near the
main entrance,

L. P, Jensen, gardener for the
Adolphus Busch estate, will leave this
week for San Francisco to attend the

Ernest Strehle, park superintendent,
will not be able to make the trip. He
says Mr. Jensen will read his paper at
the meeting.

present and the young couple were
showered with presents. Mr. Gumz's
many friends in the wholesale district
presented to him a handsome piece of
furniture and cut glass.

Ernest Strehle, park superintendent,
and twenty-five of his park employees,
who spent four days in Chicago last
week, looking over the Chicago parks,
returned home July 29 and tell of the
many pleasures of their stay.

Horace Lloyd, of the Shackelford
Nursery Co., informs me that they have
advance orders for their daily cuts of
gladioli and Alaska daisies. He con-
siders this, their first season with the
local trade, a successful one, and will
grow double the quantity of stock next
year.

The members of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., of Nursery, Mo., have
tendered an invitation to the St. iLouis
Florists ' Club to hold , the installation
meeting at their place. This meeting
will take place in September.

There are a number of baseball fans
in the trade who hold bees each morn-
ing in the wholesale district. One re-
marked the other day that our Cardi-
nals reminded him of a flower called
the trailing arbutus, to which they all
agreed. J. J. B.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Tbe Market.

It is good old summer time in earnest,
and there is nothing to do but wait
on an occasional customer. There are
plenty of flowers to meet the demand,
which is not large.

At the greenhouses everything is ac-
tive. Things have never looked better
at this time of the year. The early
mums are already eighteen inches tall,
and are looking as strong as they us-
ually do in October. The carnations
are all in the benches and are already
well established. In fact, a few car-
nations from the new crop have ap-
peared on the market. The growers
have more and higher grade carnation
plants in the field than I have ever
seen before.

The new roses are doing especially
well. I saw several benches of Ophelia
two weeks ago, and though they had
been planted only about two months
before, they were already giving a prof-
itable cut. I was much impressed with
it as a summer rose. It is proving a
popular seller. Hoosier Beauty, of
which I have seen several thousand
plants, is another rose that is doing
better than was expected. It is a
rampant grower so far, and is giving
good blooms. It promises great things

when it is a little older. White
Shawyer is not turning out so well,
and unless it improves as fall draws
on, White Killarney and Kaiserin need
have no fear for their laurels here.
So far as I know, Hadley has been
dropped entirely. Killarney Brilliant,
while not exactly new, is being grown
more extensively this season than ever
before.

Various Notes.

Haury & Sons have rearranged their
retail store, using fewer plants in the
decoration, but adding greatly to the
appearance. They are cutting good
asters.

Oscar Geny, who has been in poor
health this summer, is able to be back
on his job. He was at the hospital
for a week or ten days recently,

J. F. Corbitt has propagated hy-
drangeas heavily this season. He is
utilizing a large grtipe /arbor as a
summer house for plants requiring
shade.

The Joy Floral Co. had a striking
window display, representing a scene
in the Everglades of Florida. There
was a stream of water, a mill, a mill-
pond, half a dozen alligators and a
beach of Florida sand, all flanked with
trees draped with the gray moss of
the Everglades. Agaves were grow-
ing in the sand, and added color to the
scene.

Miss Carrie Chance has returned
from her trip to the Pacific coast fair.
She visited most of the scenic points
along the route.

Leo Geny says they, are getting about
the usual amount of business this sum-
mer. This does not indicate that they
are rushed, but well satisfied with con-
ditions.

The Hillcrest School Farm is install-
ing the Skinner irrigation system on
about three-quarters of an acre of land,
as a trial.

The Mclntyre Floral Co. is planting
potatoes for a fall crop. It seems to
be the consensus of opinion that there
is no other crop so well suited for
rotating as potatoes.

Mr. Smith, one of the first florists
of Nashville, has for several years
confined his eflForts to gardening. I
have seldom seen a place so well tilled
and maintained. He seems satisfied
that he can do better with vegetables
than with flowers.

The Joy Floral Co. is tearing down
and rebuilding another greenhouse.
This will make all their houses of up-

Joe Browne, proprietor of the Lischey

bard this summer to put his place in
perfect order. Mr. Browne was sick for
a long time a few years ago, and post-
poned making improvements until the
return of better health. Now that he
is hale again, Mr. Browne is planning
to make things hum.

The state entomologist has notified
all growers to have things in readiness
for the inspector, who may be expected
at any time. All greenhouses will be
inspected in Tennessee, as well as nurs-
eries. F. B.

The Florists' Review

August 6. 1915.

TURNIP SEED

Seed Trade News

AXSBIOAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

President, John U. Lnpton, Mattitack, L. I.;
Becretary-Treasarer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

To make a thoroughly good crop of
, sweet corn six weeks of real summer
weather are essential.

It looks as though the arrival of all
bulbs, French, Dutch and Japanese^ this
season will be irregular, due to infre-
quent sailings and the lack of adequate
space on the boats.

California reports concerning sweet
peas are not encouraging; there are so
many losses through the operations of
the aphis that it wUl take the completion
of the harvest to show what will be
available of any variety.

Chris. Eeuter, of New Orleans, who
designates himself as ' ' The South 's Fore-
most Seedsman," has issued a book of
190 pages entitled ' * How to Grow, Pack
and Ship Vegetables for Profit." It is
a development of his free service bureau
for southern truckers, established several
years ago.

The man who has started laying out
his 1916 catalogue is up in" the air to
a worse degree than a year ago. Except
for the seeds now in the warehouse, sup-
ply is more uncertain than last season,
as the outcome of domestic crops has
been put in doubt by the unusual weather
conditions.

J. M. Clark, of the Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, who was confined to his home
several days last week as a result of
ptomaine poisoning, was at his desk July
31, though not altogether recovered. His
family returned July 30 from a three
weeks' outing on the Clark farm at
Oneida, N. Y.

Eeports from France are not encour-
aging as regards seeds of the 1915 crop
for export. All circumstances have been
unfavorable. There will, of course, be
considerable stock that will be available
to America, but what these will be no
one can say with certainty, or how the
quality will have been affected.

With the British authorities steadily
tightening their strangle-hold on German
foreign trade, there appears small pros-
pect of obtaining any German seeds this
year except such as can come through the
mails; the British have not yet seen
their way clear to turning back Dutch,
Scandinavian or even Grerman mail for
the United States.

Judging from present conditions,
choice onion sets will be at a premium
this year. Should this be so, those houses
that have been selling onion sets at low
prices for future delix^ery in anticipation
of a heavy crop will probably find it
• difficult to carry out their contracts. It
is generally understood that these sales
were made with a guarantee of delivery
and of quality.

Nothing has developed in the pea and
bean crop situation during the last week
to indicate an improvement. The early
varieties of peas have in many cases
already been cut and are only awaiting
dry weather to put them in proper shape
for threshing. There is, of course, the
possibility of their molding during the
wait. The later varieties will, under
favorable weather conditions, turn out
much better. All other seed crops are

The, prospect for a rather light crop
of onioii seed would attract more atten-
tion if I onion bulbs were commanding
better prices in the produce markets.

FIEST DUTCH BULBS HERE.

The first shipment of Dutch bulbs
of the 1915 crop consisted of 221 cases,
and reached New York on the steamer
Noordapi from Eotterdam July 29.
Apparently the war has not affected
the shipments of bulbs to the extent
feared, but the quantity of future
shipments is yet a matter of conjec-
ture. The first arrival of Dutch bulbs
last year was July 31, but the first
considerable shipment did not arrive
until August 4, a week later than this
year.

BERMUDA OiaON SEED CROP.

Consul George K. Stiles, at Teneriffe,
Canary Islands, has made a report on
the 1915 crop of Bermuda onion seeds
as follows:

With harvesting well under way, re-
ports warrant a forecast of the 1915
onion seed crop in the Canary Islands.
Last year this constituted over one-
half of all exportations from this dis-
trict to the United States, hence the
outlook is important to American buy-
ers. The coming crop, which should
begin moving toward American ports
late in July, shows a yield above the
average. On the other hand, there was
considerable underplanting.

Orders are large, and all dealers re-
port increasing prices and a strong
mirket undertone, due to buying or-
ders of unusual size, not only from the
United States but from Cuba and Ar-
gentina. Much of the present crop was
grown under contract, and many con-
tractors have already sold their hold-
ings at a good profit, before the crop
was ready for delivery.

W'th the outlook tending strongly
toward a short supply, there is a temp-
tation among some dealers to mix old
seed with the new, and detection until
after actual sowing is difficult. It is
therefore suggested that American buy-
ers deal only with long-established ex-
porters of onion seed, who will allow
just claims.

The Florists^ Review

August 5, 1915.

The most vexing question this season
will be securing bottoms, as freight
rates via British ports are both very
high and uncertain. This has caused

, great expense to American importers,
who have found all chances of profit
swallowed up in war freights. The
route now being looked to by many
large shippers is via Habana, Cuba, or
directly to New Orleans. This routing
seems especially favorable for ship-
ments with an ultimate southern desti-
nation, such as Texas, which buys
largely of Canary Island onion seed.
As American buyers of onion seed must
pay all freight charges, they should
investigate this important matter. Un-
less explicit directions are given to

: shippers here, buyers in the United
States will often experience excessive
freight rates and run chances of hav-
ing damage by lengthy delays at inter-
mediate jjorts.

Three lines have published sailings
from Canary Island ports, and all carry
freight and make either New Orleans
or Habana. They have announced the
following sailings: The Pinillos Steam-
ship Co., two monthly sailings; the
General Transatlantic Steamship Co.,
one monthly sailing; the Transatlantic
Steamship Co., one ;monthly sailing.
These companies maintain agents in
New Orleans and Habana and announce
that full particulars may be obtained
from them.

With an average crop in sight and
an increased demand for seed, prices
have stiffened considerably, showing a
five per cent increase as against ruling
prices on June 1. It is generally ex-
pected that quotations will advance
even higher — due to unexpectedly large
buying from Cuban and Argentine
agencies.

FREESIAS FOR CHRISTMAS.

Will you please tell me the proper
time to start freesias to have them in
bloom for Christmas? What tempera-
ture do they require? F. K. — Mass.

Freesia bulbs have been on the mar-
ket since June 20. You should get a
batch started at once. Use flower pots or
pans. I prefer the latter, in sizes from
eight to ten inches in diameter. These
will hold twenty to thirty-five bulbs
each. Use a light, moderately rich and
rather sandy compost. Stand them in a
coldf rame and keep them there until the
middle or end of September; then give
them a temperature of 55 degrees at
night and a position well up to the
glass, in order to flower them for the
holidays. You will find Purity much
superior to ref racta alba. C. W.

TheKENEWORTHGiantPansy

•eeds are all grown by myself and are offered In the following mixture* and separate
colors:

22— KENILWORTH STRAIN — The flowers are of perfect form and substance; many
of the immense flowers are from 3^ to 4 inches; it is a striking collection of
beautiful colors and markings rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, ma-
hogany and many others too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark
Mixtures.

26— KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE— Is a distinct class by itself, sur-
passing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibition purposes, for Inside
or outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the foliage on
heavy stems. 7 or 8 inches long, in the most graceful manner, and stand the
hot, dry weather well.

28— MASTERPIECE — A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals giving the flower
a double appearance, large flowers of great substance, on long, strong stems.

30— GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES— A superb mixture. Flowers
large and of circular form and of great substance. The display of coloring is
unsurpassed. A combination of almost every shade of rich velvety colors,
reds are particularly conspicuous; the petals being distinctly marked with
three or Ave large dark blotches.

"What is the cause of my celery being
affected by rustf My garden is on a
hillside, high and dry and away from
any body of water. We have the best
of soil. We had none of this trouble
until last year. The plants grow to a
nice size before being affected. In a
garden about 100 yards away, on the
opposite slope of the hill, celery is
grown from my seeds and there is no
sign of rust on it. The soil is a little
different from mine. Do you think the
soil would be the cause of the trouble?
I have sprayed it with Bordeaux mix-
ture and Pyrox, but these do not seem
to check it. A. M.— Fa.

It is not easy to tell what causes rust
or blight on celery. It may be due to
some check the plants have had, which
makes them more easily fall a prey to
it than plants which have been kept
growing along steadily. Or it may be
due to a deficiency in moisture, or, more
probably, to some peculiar climatic
condition. Some varieties, like Boston
Market and Giant Pascal, are much
more subject to disease than Paris
Golden and White Plume, but none is
immune from its attacks. I have found
its attacks most virulent in a dry sea-
son.

Pyrox is an excellent poison and
fungicide combined, but the poison
would be of no benefit in combating
rust. Bordeaux mixture or Fungine are
reliable. It is, of course, better to
start using one of these before any
rust appears, acting on the idea that
prevention is better than cure. How-
ever, since you have the rust, do not
get discouraged. Keep on spraying, do-
ing it when the plants are perfectly dry
and the sun hot, rather than in the
evening. Do this once in five or six
days for the_ next two months, and if
heavy rains intervene, apply more fre-
quently. C. W.

impressed with the splendid palms
growing in New Orleans, both on
private grounds and in the nurseries.
Stocks of Areca lutescens, Phoenix
Eoebeleuii, Latania Borbonica, wash-
ingtonias, etc., are superior to the Euro-
pean grown, and more abundant. He
intended to take in the seedsmen's con-
vention at San Francisco, but his trip
was curtailed by urgent business at
home.

Judging the Cleveland gardens
proved the most strenuous work of the
kind ever experienced by Judges Adam
Graham and Herman Hart. Prof. Carl
H. Knirk, who accompanied them, de-
cided that Mr. Graham, the oldest of
the three, had discovered the fabled
fountain of perpetual youth. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer was fortunate
in securing the services of the gentle-
men mentioned, who gave their time
gratuitously, solely for the purpose of
increasing the appreciation of the arti-
san classes for the beautiful and the
practical home gardens.

Lot Salter, grower for David Shan-
non, at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., is quite
successful with chrysanthemums grown
in benches, in soil three inches deep,
securing two and three stems to a
plant. He does not begin to feed until
the end of August. White Cloud is
the leader; all varieties are grown.

Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, N. Y.,
reelected the board of officers. It has
had a successful season.

Mark Crawshaw, Newburgh, N._ Y.,
notes an improvement in many lines.
He is busy renovating and preparing
for a good fall business.

Schaefers, Inc., Newburgh, N. Y.,
will be strengthened by the addition
of Duncan Aird, who supersedes Geo.
F. Chadborn as manager. Mr. Aird was
superintendent of the Van Duzen estate,
one of the show places on the Hudson,
for twenty -five years. Mr. Chadborn
is retiring because of poor health.

Pacific Coast Department

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

We have had another warm week,
but business has kept up well, though
out-of-town shipments fell off a little.
The Belladonna lily is making a fine
show and the fragrant flowers are
great favorites wjth eastern visiters,
who are here in large numbers this
year. Dahlias are showy and good;
Orand Duke Alexis and Delice show
up especially well. Asters are plenti-
ful and there is an abundance of ceu-
taureas and other outdoor flowers. In-
door roses are improving. Carnations
are badly infested with thrips on
some places, though other growers
manage to keep their flowers fairly
clean. Funeral work continues heavy
and all flowers are cleaning up fairly
well.

Later lots of sweet peas are coming
in and are highly acceptable. Cecile
Brunner roses do not seem as popular
as they were and there is a glut of
them. They retail at 10 cents for a
large bunch, so there would seem to
be little in it for the growers, as few
flowers are more troublesome to pick.
An increasing demand for ferns has
been noticeable in the last week or
ten days, as well as for small kentias,
Corypha australis and other decorative
palms. Greens are plentiful, the only
shortage being in well developed
adiantums.

Various Notes.

The new store front of the Superior
Nursery Co., on Slauson avenue, is a
great improvement and should lead to
increased business. At the side Mr.
Gutting has a fine planting of dahlias
for cut flowers. Such varieties as
Delice, Grand Duke Alexis and a num-
ber of new cactus types are particu-
larly attractive. In the greenhouses a
fine lot of cyclamens. Begonia Glory of
Cincinnati and other Christmas plants
are coming along in good shape and
the ferns are a clean, good-looking lot.
I saw Mr. Gutting in close proximity
to John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., and,
unless all signs fail, it looks as though
the Challenge ventilators, roller-bearing
shaft hangers and a few more fittings
of this kind will be used in the new
plant houses that are to go up here
shortly.

D. Stathatos, the Broadway Florist,
is building a large new lath house at
Hawthorne.

Daniel MacRorie, of San Francisco,
and his father are visiting here and
at San Diego for a few days.

M. Lambert, superintendent of
Elysian park, left for his vacation July
24. He is going to take in the sights
at the big shows at San Diego and San
Francisco.

Albert Goldenson, brother of Morris
Goldenson, is starting on an eastern
trip at once. He intends to visit the
trade in Chicago, Pittsburgh, New
York and other eastern and middle-
west cities.

J. W. Walters, of Chicago, has been
visiting Los Angeles this week.

A letter received by the writer from
W. Wem, manager of Wright's Flower

Shop, says he has reached San Fran-
cisco on his return trip from the
Yosemite valley and other northern
points. While he says the roads in
some places are rough, both he and
Mrs. Wern are enthusiastic over the
scenery and say they have had a
splendid time.

S. Murata and wife are in San Fran-
cisco, taking in the sights. G. New-
man, of the same firm, has had to under-
go a slight operation for the removal
of a sty from his left eye. Shipping
business keeps up well here and a fine
show of flowers is maintained at all
times.

H. N. Gage is putting up a new of-
fice on the ranch at Montebello, dlso
a concrete cellar, and is going to
build a new residence on the Whittier
road, where Mrs. Gage has some prop-
erty.

Mrs, Altman, wife of the manager
of Donofrio's, at Phoenix, Ariz., is in
town for a couple of weeks, after
which she intends to go on to the fair
at San Francisco.

Heavy shipments continue to leave
the store of the L. A. Floral Co., on
Winston street, for Arizona and other
warm sections, but, despite the unusu-
ally warm weather, there have been no
complaints. All long-distance ship-
ments are carefully iced.

A visit to the new seed farm of the
Johanssen Seed Co., at El Monte, was
well repaid. Oscar Johanssen, who
has the management of this ranch, has
e"''erything in fine order. Asters are a
little late, but the plants are extra fine
and there are fine plots of kochias, ver-
benas, stocks, early and late cosmos
and all the other specialties of the
house. The land here is especially well
fitted for raising small seeds, as it is
finely divided yet does not bake or
crack. The firm is negotiating for an-
other 100 acres close by.

W. Armacost & Co. report cleaning
• up well on young rose stock.

John A. Evans, of Richmond, In4.,
left here July 26 for San Francisco.
Being a true Welshman, by descent, he
could not miss the eisteddfod and
will stay in the neighborhood of the
Bay City until after the convention.

Frank Lichtenberg has opened a fine
new flower department in the new
Broadway department store and ap-
parently is doing a good business.

C. Morton, of Phoenix, Ariz., and
Mrs. Morton arrived in town July 29,
having driven up by way of San Diego.
Mr. and Mrs. Morton will call on the
trade here and visit their daughter,
Miss Hazel Morton. Their son, H.
Morton, is looking after the business in
their absence. H. R. Richards.

SAN FBANCISCO.

The Market.

For the last week the florists have
not had such a rush as formerly re-
ported. While there is still plenty of
activity, the larger stores are giving
some of their help a little vacation,
which is much desired after the strenu-
ous life of the last two months.

Summer stock continues plentiful and
is moving in exceptionally large quan-
tities, as the abundance of handsome
flowers, even of the commoner varie-
ties, is a constant source of wonder to
people from less favored sections, and
such stock is also largely used for
decorative work. Carnations are go-
ing noticeably off crop; they have been
in light supply for several days. There
has been some complaint that the grow-
ers' pool is not grading closely enough,
but growers say that the stock simply
is not available. Offerings of sweet
peas, also, are much lighter. Gladioli
are coming in less freely, but some ex-

cellent stock is still shown. Supplies
of asters have increased rapidly, but
the heavy oflfprings are readily disposed
of. Ordinary dahlias are plentiful, and
thd market for extra fine stock, such as
some shops are showing, is limited.
Tritomas, unless extra large, do not
clean up. A good deal of salpiglossis
is coming in and is used to good ad-
vantage in mixed baskets.

Where chrysanthemums a few years
ago were usually expected in the lat-
ter part of September, they are now
appearing in July, the first of the sea-
son having come in July 24. Only Mon-
rovia has appeared so far, but .Golden
Glow is expected within a week or two.
This gives an autumnal atmosphere to
the market, which is increased by the
appearance of a good many cyclamen
blooms and by the increasing variety
of lilies. Auratum is the latest in the
market, and this, as well as tigrinum and
rubrum, is exceptionally fine. 'Most of
the stores are making striking displays
of the three varieties. The rose market
is in poor shape and the offerings are
nothing extra in either quality or quan-
tity. Ophelia and Hadley do fairly
well, but Killarney and Maryland hard-
ly move. Few orchids are coming in.

Various Notes.

The local ways and means committee
for the S. A. F. convention is holding
■frequent meetings, and hopes to have
all preliminaries attended to well in
advance of the convention. A meeting
was held July 28 and another July 31,
at which considerable progress was
made, and it is believed that the en-
tertainment furnished will make the
stay here enjoyable for the visitors. It
was thought for a time that the at-
tendance might be rather scant, but
Frederic J. Bertrand, of the accommo-
dation committee, says it now looks as
if the attendance will be good, consid-
ering the length of the trip. He has
already received a great many letters
asking that reservations be made at
local hotels, and is getting the matter
in hand well in advance.

V. Podesta, chairman of the bowling
committee, says the prospect is favor-
able for a good contest and he believes
the local team will put up a creditable
showing, as several of the members
have developed into first-class bowlers.

Some of the awards of prizes in the
department of horticulture of the ex-
position are now being announced. Tbi
Metzner Floral Co., of Mountain Vie'w,
won a grand prize for seedling gftidioli,
which local experts believe are the fin-
est that have ever been grown. This
company also took a gold medal for
carnations. The Fancher Creek Nurs-
eries, of Fresno, received a medal of
honor for a collective exhibit of orna-
mental and flowering plants and nurs-
ery stock. The rose exhibit of the Gill
Nursery Co. won a gold medal, and the
California Rose Co., of Los Angeles,
took a silver medal for a collection of
field roses. Silver medals were also
awarded to the Vallance Nursery for
a rose exhibit, and to N. F. Vanderbilt,
of San Rafael, for hybrid delphiniums.
The plot of Lilium Harrisii of E.
Bustrum, "Watsonville, took a bronze
medal. In the general gardens of the
exposition, south of the Avenue of
Palms, the planting of pansies has been
removed and begonias put in their
place.

McLaren Co., and his father, have rer

The Florists' Review

AVCDST 5, 1915.

the company will be in a better position
than ever to take care of its trade.

The Francis Floral Co., at Sutter and
Powell streets, is enlarging the store
by adding a rear room for the display
of pottery and baskets, and is carrying
out an artistic scheme of lattice decora-
tion through the whole store. The new
room is being entirely lined with lat-
ti^ce, in brown and apple-green, and a
framework of the same material has
been built around the large wall mirrors
in the main store. Mr. Schlotzhauer,
the proprietor, believes his new crea-
tions in French bisque baskets in pastel
shades, to harmonize with all kinds of
flowers, will be of considerable interest
to visiting florists. This week he is
showing an extra flne lot of tritomas,
with stems four to flve feet long.

Henry Penn, the Boston florist, and
Mrs. Penn, have been in San Francisco
for the last week.

The following is told on Fred Abie
mid L. G. Gardner, nurserymen of Oak-
land: The other day they started to
Walk to the nursery of Domoto Bros.
It was hot, and both took their coats
off, perspiring freely; the road was
dusty and perhaps their beards needed
trimming. Anyway, a woman sent a
small boy to call them, and offered
them 50 cents and a square meal if
they would move a shed for her.

S. H. G.

TACOMA, WASH.

The Market.

Business has been good for this time
of year, many weddings and funerals
c ntributing to the florists' coffers, and
in all the trade there is not a single
complaint to be heard. There are many
tourists passing through Tacoma, and
nearly every one has made arrange-
ments to see the great mountain that
is becoming so popular.

Advice to Tourists.

Any florist who is going to the fair
should see that his ticket reads via
the Pacific northwest, and if he wants
to see one thing that will repay him for
the whole trip, let him take a day to
stop over and see the mighty Mount
Tacoma and the most wonderful scen-
ery in the United States, bar none. It
is four hours to the glacier, though it
has been made in less time. It is pos-
sible to make the trip in one day, but
the traveler seldom wants to be in that
big a hurry.

Florists' Picnic.

All the good florists in Tacoma, who
felt that life is too short to be lived
away behind the counter and cash reg-
ister, went to the country home of the
venerable Henry Benthien to enjoy the
day of all days, July 21.

After the tour of inspection of Mr.
Benthien 's excellent range of green-
houses, the florists who were not mem-
bers of the Order of Yellow Dogs were
given an opportunity to sign applica-
tion blanks. After the Supreme Dog
had signed the cards and all applicants
had been elected to membership, the
Chief Dog and his Yellow Curs went to
the innermost recesses of the woods,
away from the watchful eyes of hos-
tile prowlers^ and gave the new ' * form. ' *
The impressive oration given by L. W.
Scott, who, by the way, is the most
excellent Yellow Dog of Washington,
was well taken by the new "Pups."
Carl Melby, of Seattle, was peeved to

think that he had to give up some of
his Seattle money to join, but when he
found that the Yellow Dogs were to
give a percentage of the money to
King county to help repair the roads,
he was better pleased. John Holze, of
the Queen City Floral Co., was elected
to the office of Grand Keeper of Becords
and Bones. The ceremony is exceed-
ingly pretty, and if the members will
only try to live up to the motto that
has been taken, it will mean that the
florists' business has been lifted to a
higher level. Any florists' club may
have the ritual and all necessary in-
formation to conduct a meeting if the
secretary will write to L. W. Scott.

The Market.

The retail stores report a great fall
in business, which is to be expected
at this time of year. Stock of all
kinds is plentiful. A few good indoor
roses have been put on the market;
Mme. Chatenay seems to be one of the
leaders. Carnations are dropping off
rapidly, but leave no shortage on the
market. There are some good gladioli
and asters, which hold up fairly well.
Excellent orchids are to be seen and
they are moving fairly well at the
usual prices. Sweet peas flood the
market. Some excellent lilies are of-
fered, but suffer from the abundance
of other stock.

Various Notes.

Allen Beale, of the Woodlawn Floral
Shop, reports a favorable business.
This firm is cutting some good orchids
and Mme. Chatenay roses.

Mr. Buyer, of the H. Harrington Co.,
is spending a week's vacation camp-
ing and fishing at Union Bay.

Flower Shop, is spending a vacation

bass arrived July 28.

Frank McCabe, of A L. Eandall Co.,
Chicago, called on business last week.
He reports an exceptionally good busi-
ness throughout the Pacific coast.

Mr. Bahn, of Bahn & Herbert Co.,
Clackamas, Ore., spent two days in
Seattle last week. He went from here
to Spokane.

Mr. and Mrs, J. J. Bonnell and their
two sons, Mr. and Mrs. John Holze, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Smith, of Tacoma, and
C. E. Melby took a trip to Mt. Bainier
Saturday, July 24, in their automobiles,
arriving at the foot of the mountain
Saturday evening. After camping
there over night, they took the 7-mile
walk up the mountain, which leads
through a park developed by nature
that no artist can equal.

A. E. Buxton, of Brighton Beach, is
throwing out his old cucumbers and
is replanting for fall. The rest of the
range will be planted with carnations
and chrysanthemums.

Felix Bosaia, formerly of Eosaia
Bros., Inc., is hard at work preparing
his new store, at Third avenue and
Madison street, which he will open in
a few days.

Mr. and Mrs. John Holze, Mr. and
Mrs. Hoffmeister, J. J. Bonnell and
son and C. E. Melby spent an enjoy-
able day at the Tacoma Florists ' Club 's
picnic July 20.

Mr. and Mrs. Felix Bosaia and Mr.
and Mrs. Beall visited the Beall green-
house on Vashon Island July 21.

Bosaia Bros, have their new green-
house at Thomas completed and planted
will all new varieties of roses. George
Bosaia is taking his vacation on a
fishing trip.

Charles W. Gilmer has returned from
a visit to his home in Alabama. He
has not decided yet what he will do,
but will probably take a position in a
local greenhouse.

ket, had a canoe beautifully decorated

The Market.

Last week the weather became cooler
and cloudy, with occasional showers.
This was favorable f6r the newly set
carnations and chrysanthemum plants.
The work of budding roses and other
stock in the nurseries has been stopped,
and the quality of some outdoor varie-
ties of flowers has been affected. The
supply of carnations has decreased.
Boses, asters and many perennials have
come in freely. Auratum lilies of good
quality are plentiful, and rubrum has
just made its appearance. There are
practically no orchids on the market.

Florists who venture an estimate
think business for July has exceeded
that of last year by a considerable
margin. There was a steady run of
funeral work last week, slightly above
the average in quantity. As there was
little waste, the general condition of
the market may be said to be quite
satisfactory.

Various Notes.

Niklas & Son had a summer window
display consisting of a tank with water
lilies in the center, and blooming plants
and ornamentals set in a floor of fresh
green moss.

' Under separate cover we are mailing
a spray of tamarix from a neighbor's
yard. We should like to know the
name of the variety, so that we can
order more of the same sort. The bush
is now at its best, being a mass of
bloom. It blooms twice, now and again
in late fall. If you cannot give us the
name, will you please give us directions
for propagation by cuttings, as we have
tried this and failed f

C. F. M. & C— Ohio.

The name is Tamarix Oallica. This
makes a satisfactory shrub or low tree,
and flowers a long time. It does espe-
cially well in sandy soil and seems also
to enjoy salt spray and an alkaline soil.
It can be propagated from seeds or cut-
tings. You can take green-wood cut-
tings cow, place these in sandy soil in
plans or flats and plunge them in a
close frame. Protect from direct sun-
shine, spray frequently but lightly and
close the frame early in the afternoon;
3 o'clock is a suitable hour now. As
roots begin to form you can gradually
give more light and ventilation. Ma-
ture wood may also be used in winter,
when the cuttings, in short lengths, can
be placed in flats in a cool greenhouse.

The annual exhibition and meeting
of the Gladiolus Society of Ohio, which
will be held at the Hollenden hotel, in
this city, August 13 and 14, is taking
the attention of the members of the

list. There will be no charge for ad-
mission. Florists have sent out 8,000
invitations to their customers and
friends. A record-breaking attendance
and a magnificent display are promised.
As this has been an unusual growing
year, stock should be at its best.

S. A. F, convention and the expositions
at San Francisco and San Diego are
Fred C. Witthuhn, Frank J. Eitzen-

The Florists' Review

71

"A Bird in the Hand"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrang^ea in America is worth aeTeral Azaleas
in Belflfium right now. Of course, the Azaleas may get out of Belgium; we don't
know; conditions may change; certainly it is not possible to get anything out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't.
Are you going to take that chance? Can you afford to depend altogether ou imported
forcing stock, when there is plenty of good forcing stock rig^ht here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

OTAKSA, with 7
" 5

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

to 10 branches, at $25.00 the 100.
and 6 " at 20.00 the 100.
" 4 " at 16.00 the 100.

French Novelties, all the best ones, at $5.00 the 100 addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom. They
will grow into money for you, and jou can cash 'em next Easter.

There won't be any sur-
plus of bloominff plants next
Spring. Stick a pin in that. We\ivant
every progressive florist to get in
touch with us.

The Market.

Market conditions last week remained
unchanged. There was small move-
ment, and stock of every description
was plentiful. Several large funerals
kept a few of the florists busy.

Flowers are being sold at ridiculous-
ly low prices. When asters and gladi-
oli sell at 25 cents per dozen, one be-
gins to wonder how growers can con-
tinue to build steel houses.

OUR SUPPLIES not affected

^|T WHILE there is a general shortage of Palms,
^^ particularly of Kentias, due to the fact that
practically no supplies were received by such growers
as depend, almost exclusively on imports from Belgium,
and from present appearance it is not likely that the
situation will be changed this fall, we are pleased to
state our supplies have not been affected by this
embargo, and we are carrying our usual full line of si^es of
the usual Dreer quality ; but as the general scarcity is cer-
tain to create an increased demand, we recommend you to
cover your requirements as early as possible. If you are
not ready to accept immediate delivery, let us book your
order and we will set aside and reserve your stock and make
delivery at any time between now and October 15.

Pochelon, his wife and two children;
Walter Taepke and wife, Kobert
Rahaley and wife, George Hampton, of
Jos. G. Neidinger, Philadelphia, and
several friends, returned August 1
from the fishing trip which took them
up the Au Sable river, twenty miles
above Grayling, Mich. The party drove
the four cars 240 miles Sunday, start-
ing at 5 a. m, and reaching home at
9 p. m. Weather conditions were un-
favorable, but everybody had a good

time nevertheless. The roads were fair,
except a 13-mile stretch just before
reaching Bay City. Walter Taepke said
that strip was almost like a mountain
range. Mr. Fetter's car broke down at
Novi, and he was obliged to finish the
trip in Mr. Taepke 's car. Otherwise
there were no mishaps.

The Detroit Floral Co. has moved into
a new store at 703 Woodward avenue,
which is just one block south of the
former location. The new store is

larger, better lighted, and has a large
show window. R. Flowerday is well

The Florists^ Review

August 5, 191S.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade is quiet, with plenty of stock
except carnations, which are scarce and
of poor quality. We are depending
upon asters to take the place of car-
nations. They are arriving in large
numbers, mostly Queen of the Market,
and of poor quality. Gladioli are still
a glut on the market, and while quan-
tities are sold, the prices are low and
leave but a small margin, if any. Boses
are of good quality and enough to
meet the demand. Beauties are of
slightly poorer quality and the demand
for them is small. Lilies are in good
supply, but meet with a feeble demand.
At times it is hard to clean them up,
and prices have been exceedingly low
in some cases. Valley is scarce; fre-
quently there are absolutely none to
be had. The sales come in spurts and
hardly justify a great quantity. There
are many common garden flowers,
which seem to take the place of more
expensive ones.

There is some demand for plants in
bloom, but they are few. Ferns seem
to be the only thing in plants.

Various Notes.

Frank Sperry, of the Livingston Seed
Co., is home on sick leave. The doctors
have ordered absolute rest for several
weeks, as Mr. Sperry 's condition is se-
rious.

Ben Flynn, of Graflf Bros., says trade
is quiet.

Munk Floral Co. reports that a little
funeral work now and then is about
all coming their way.

C. A. Eoth is busy at his greenhouses,
although there is little trade now.

Fred Bauman reports the trade on
c- 1 ferns small.

T. J. Ludwig has been making a run
on asters and gladioli. J. M.

Grand Forks, N. D.— The J. N. Black
Co., which operates confectionery stores
in the Grand Theater building and the
Scandinavian-American Bank building,
has added a line of plants and cut flow-
ers. Miss Mary Boese, secretary-treas-
urer of the company, is in charge of
this department.

Tarrytown, N. Y.— The Tarrytown
Horticultural Society has issued a
pamphlet that will be of interest to
many in the trade who have business
in the locality. It contains, in addi-
tion to the premium list for the ex-
hibition November 3 to 5, a list of pa-
trons and members. E. W. Neubrand,
of the F. R. Pierson Co., is secretary
and Mr. Pierson himself is chairman of
the board of directors.

ATLANTA, QA.

The Market.

Business last week was fair, with
several large funeral orders to make
summer more bearable. There was the
usual overabundance of all kinds of
stock. Some was of high quality, but
most of it did not meet the expense
of cutting. The shop that secured an
order was fortunate, and so great was
the value given that the buyer is
likely to call at the same store, say in
December or January, and expect' the
same liberal treatment. At that time
he will receive just about one-third the
flowers he received last week.

Various Notes.

At the opening of the new $20,000
store of the Nunnally Co., souvenirs
and music were dispensed liberally.

Atlanta florists spend a quarter of
a million dollars annually out of town
for cut flowers. Why not have a
wholesale flower market of our own?
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce take
notice.

The Atlanta Floral Co. closed its
city store last week, but continues to
do business at the Decatur range. Mrs.
Eosier, of the Atlanta Floral Co., has
returned from a honeymoon trip to
Florida.

J. P. Matthiessen will continue his
Fair street greenhouses, specializing in
carnations and palms.

The Ashford Park Nurseries have
had a successful season, disposing of
thousands of plants. They have an
immense stock of promising young
plants.

Wilson the Florist had an elaborate
decoration for the cotton ginners' con-
vention. He is displaying novelties at
his store.

Wachendorff Bros, have a fine look-
ing lot of stock at their range.

The Lawrence Floral Co. has been
cutting an exceptional stock of
gladioli. J. W.

Grcenhonse Heating.

PEOM HOT WATER TO STEAM.

"We are moving our greenhouses and
expect to change the beating system
from hot water to low-pressure steam.
There will be three houses, as follows:
North house, 20x100 and seven feet
high to the eaves; central and south
houses, each 25x125 and seven fe6t to
the eaves. The north house will require
a night temperature of 45 to 48 de-
grees; central house, 50 degrees; south
house, 55 to 60 degrees. We have a lot
of 2-inch pipe on hand and should like
to use it. How many runs of 2-inch
pipe will be needed in each house? The
houses will be connected. I am enclos-
ing a rough sketch of the houses.

F. M.— la.

The accompanying sketch shows the
office at one end of the 100-foot house
and the boiler room at the other end.
The other houses have both ends ex-
posed.

While I would prefer to use 1^-inch
pipe for the returns, if the boiler is
sufficiently large it will be possible to
secure good results with 2-inch returns.
For the house 20x100, use one 2i^-inch
flow and four 2-inch returns for 48 de-
grees. For 50 degrees in the middle
house, 25x125, use one 2^-inch flow
and five 2-inch returns. In the other
house put in one flow and seven returns
for 60 degrees.

THE FUEL MARKET.

The coal trade is beginning to show
a few signs of returning life. In the
Chicago district many growers have
been taking in coal for several weeks
and other large consumers are doing
likewise, with the result that July was
a month of increasing activity, al-
though still subnormal. The market
prices have been sustained for months
only by curtailing production. August
2 the circular price for mine-run smoke-
less was advanced 15 cents, to $1.40
per ton, in accordance with custom;
there was no other circumstance to
warrant the advance. As a result of
the increased cost of smokeless coals,
which a few years ago were to be had
under $1 per ton, many growers in
the middle west have turned to Illinois
and Indiana coals, which can be had
today at $1.87 to $2.15 f. o. b. Chicago,
where the West Virginia coals cost
13.30 to $3.45.

Consumers have felt that the condi-
tions this year made early buying un-
wise, but the producing interests have

The Reward of Merit

Kirkwood, Mo., May 22, 1915.

Kroesohell Bros.
Chicago, 111.

Gentlemen: -

Co. ,

Now that the firing season is oyer,
and after a long, cold winter, the
coldest night being 6° below zero, I
want to say I am well pleased with the
No. 46 WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER and the
No. 14 hot water boiler; they are doing
all you claim for them and more.

The No. 14 hot water boiler heating
that large house to 62® with the great-
est ease in zero weather without the
help of the steam boiler.

THIS STEAM BOILER I THINK IS A
WONDER, a quick steamer sind holds the
steam, the easiest boiler in the world
to cleaji and to keep clean. The double
steajn trap system is working fine,
keeping all the steam lines well drained.

But the threaded boiler^ tube piping
system is the winner; the rapid circu-
lation and even temperature obtained
from this system is wonderful.

After being told repeatedly by other
growers that roses could not be grown
with hot water heat, we are getting the
best kind of results not only from the
heating systems and boilers, but also
from the roses.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) W. J. PILCHER.

chosen to shut down their mines rather
than throw unsold coal on the smnmer
market. Whether or not they wiU ad-
here to this policy after cold weather
assures some sort of a market for free
coal is a matter that no man can de-
termine, but the greenhouse trade is
not contracting for its full needs this
season. .,

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Last week there was plenty of rain,
with a hot wave the latter part of the
week. The Country Club social aflEairs
called for a good many outdoor flow-
ers for table and ballroom decorations
during the northern Indiana tennis
tournament. Large quantities of gladi-
oli were used, as well as asters, hy-
drangeas and dahlias, while Shasta
daisies, hardy roses and the smaller
perennials made charming table decora-
tions. Koses are meeting with a good
demand and the quality is splendid for
summer roses. There are good quanti-
ties of annuals and perennials on the
market, but the demand is decidedly
limited.

July trade compared favorably with
the volume of business in previous
years. This is probably partly due to
the fact that the cool weather has kept
the majority of persons in the city,
who would otherwise during the hot
weather have thinned out considerably.
Carnations are arriving in small quan-
tities from field-grown stock.

Variotis Notes.

At the recent Greven-Gilmartin wed-
ding the Flick Floral Co. carried out
the decoration, which was elaborate.
This firm has purchased a handsome
new 7-pa8senger 1916 Auburn touring
car and has also several delivery cars

The Rorists' Review

AvwBt 5> 1915.,

MILWAnKEE.

The Market.

Business during the last week has
been good for this time of year. The
Eastland disaster created an unusually
heavy demand for all kinds of flowers;
much stock was shipped to Chicago, and
the market here was cleaned up well.
There has been an exceptionally large
quantity of funeral work lately, dis-
posing of stock that would otherwise
have been moved with difficulty. The
market last week was the strongest
that it has been for some time, and
the week shows some fine sales.

There are some fine roses on the mar-
ket just now. Prices are rather low,
but the supply is moving all the time.
Carnations are plentiful again, but the
quality shows clearly that they are on
the decline. Sweet peas are plentiful,
but, of course, are outdoor stock and
do not hold up at all well for ship-
ping. Eubrums and valley are plenti-
ful. Asters are in and look well.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Bertrand H. Farr, wife of the
peony specialist of Wyomissing, Pa., is
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Holton
this week. Mrs. Farr, on leaving Mil-
waukee, will go up to northern Wis-
consin for a stay with friends there.

Edward Stewart opened his retail
store at 661 Third street, Saturday,
July 31. Mr. Stewart formerly had
the same location, but gave it up some
time ago, when he took hold of several
greenhouses at 838 Thirty-first street.
He will operate both places in the fu-
ture and is looking forward to a busy
winter season.

J. DilloflF, with Sehloss Bros., New
York, stopped in Milwaukee Saturday,
July 31, and Sunday, August 1. He
was on his way east, having just come
from St. Paul, with Chicago his next
stop.

W. C. Zimmermann, 430 Grand ave-
nue, left Saturday, July 31, for the
west. He expects to attend the S. A. F.
convention, and will be away until
about August 25. H. J. 8.

Gordon, Wis. — Mrs. L. E. Meyer re-
ports an exceptional quality of ferns,
water lilies and greens. Arbutus, she
says, suffered severely from the late
frosts, and is scarce.

Mr. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y. Woodside, L. L, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1913.

mums. Kindly send bill for the last gallon shipped, and oblige.

THBIFS ON OABNATIONS.

Ed. American Florist:

Please advise how to remedy tlie trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed
under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. F.

The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two
or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the
worst enemies that Carnation growers have to deal with, and the only way to
fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly
with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from
the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi-
gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THSIF JUICE No. 2,
applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause
the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to
harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON.

THBIP JXnCE NO. 2 ON BOSES.

Hopeland Estate, Staatsburg, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1913.
Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y.

Dear Sirs: I have used your THRIP JUICE No. 2 on outdoor Eoses, also
Eoses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it
is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips. Very truly yours,

(Signed) CHAS. HARMAN, Supt.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914.

CoL Wm. Sharp, for more than twenty-five years grower for Samuel Murray,
says: "I have found THBIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on
Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms.

While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than
Nicotine and far more effective.

Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal-
lons as before." W. M.

Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1915.

Schmidt & Botley Co. endorse THBIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly.
They believe in prevention, and took steps at once to destroy it.

Oustav Schneider says he uses THBIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a
preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one
time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them
around.

Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914.
Eobert Lockerbie, many years with the Eobt. Craig Co., and now grower for
the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all m^es of Insecticides and is
now using THBIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations.
The dilution of one to forty is proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten
days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never fails to kill the insect and the slight
discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. W. M.

The Market.

Market conditions are a little better
than they were at last writing. The
receipts are not so heavy as they were,
but the falling off is primarily a forced
one, caused by the growers. Sales
have been so poor that it Was not
worth while to cut the blooms and ship
them to the market. Prices are sub-
stantially the same as they were dur-
ing the last fortnight.

The supply of both asters and gladioli
seems endless. Easter lilies, while not
80 plentiful as they were, still are in
sufficient supply to take care of all
present requirements. But few good
roses are coming into the wholesale
houses. Plenty of short ones may be
had. Other offerings include auratum,
fubrum and alba lilies, snapdragons,
dahlias and a few carnations.

Joliet, 111 . Oct. 19. 914.
Gentlemen: Replying to your letter of the 15th. will say
we have five different makes of carnation supports in our
greenhouses, and we say without any hesitation that your
support is the best of all. Yours truly,

J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.

Although galvanized wire has advanced 25% in the last six months, we are still selling at
the same price. It costs only $16.00 for supports to take care of 1000 carnations, with
three rings for each plant. Try enough for one bench. In ordering, please state
the width of your bench and carnations to a short row.

animal crawline up one of the green-
houBeft. Becoming frightened at sight
of the workman, the animal broke sev-
eral lights of glass in its hurry to es-
cape. Several mfen started in pursuit
with the aid of dog and gun and, after
chasing the quadruped for twenty
blocks, they succeeded in treeing it at
tiiUrelhurst park, close to the home of
Mayor Alber. Ben Van Kirk, of the
Van Kirk Floral Co., with a well di-
rected shot, brought the animal to the
ground. It proved to be a Canadian
' tufted lynx and measured five feet

three inches from tip to tip. Several
florists tell of wild waterfowl alight-
ing on their glass because of its re-
semblance to water, but this is the
first time a wild animal has started up
the side of a greenhouse.

A. F. Lalane and wife are spending
the summer at the beach.

At a meeting of the managers of the
dahlia show with the exhibition com-
mittee of the Portland Floral Society,
it was decided to hold the show Sep-
tember 23 to 25, on the sixth floor of
the new Meier & Frank Co. depart-
ment store building. This location is
central and as no admission will be
charged, a large attendance is expected.
The room is 100x200 feet, and all
space not required for the dahlias will
be filled by Portland growers with ex-
hibits of seasonable plants and flowers.

Hans lindberg, a former employee of
local florists, has bought a half inter-
est in the Latona Floral Co., at Seattle,

The Market

While this season of the year is al-
ways dull, this year is said to be a
litUe the worst in a long time, there
being practically nothing except fu-
neral work, and even this line shows a
falling oflF through the increasing re-
currence of the notice, "Please omit
flowers. ' '

Asters are more plentiful and of bet-
ter quality, white, pink and lavender
being the leaders. Gladioli hold their
popularity well. Tuesday, July 27, the
local market experienced a slight flurry
on account of the Eagles' parade, an
extraordinary demand being created
that quickly cleared the iceboxes Of
about everything in sight.

The Market.

While July was a satisfactory month
up to last week, it is to be hoped the
finish was not a sample of the kind of
trade we can expect the remainder of
the summer, for apparently business
died last week and was buried.

Stock of all kinds was plentiful, and
some kinds were more than plentiful,
especially gladioli and asters. The
market has been badly overstocked
with both, and the best the wholesalers
can do is to sell a few of the best and
get rid of the others by way of the
back door.

Boses are plentiful and some of the
stock is quite good. Carnations are
holding on, but must go now that we
have asters. Beauties, lilies and valley'
make up the rest of the supply. Sweet
peas will not stand shipping on account
of too much wet weather, as we are
still averaging almost one rain every
twenty-four hours.

E. H. W.— Neb.

Procure some carbon bisulphide. Bore
holes four to five inches deep and fif-
teen to eighteen inches apart each way.
Pour a scant teaspoonful of the car-
bon into each hole and at once cover it.
The gaseous fumes will suffocate the
grubs. Do not use any naked light near
the carbon, as it is of an explosive na-
ture. It costs at retail about 25 cents
per pound can.

For the black beetle attacking aster
flowers, spray with Paris green at the
rate of one ounce to fifteen gallons of
water; add a little lime to prevent any
danger of burning. C. W.

The Florists' Review*^

Tha: ^u adqpst 5, 1915,

Milwaukee, Wis. — J, J. Hagelgren,
746 Oakland avenue, has gone out of
the florists' business.

Washington, N. J. — A. J. Bryan is
remodeling one of his greenhouses at
East Washington avenue. It will
eover 2,400 feet of ground when oom-
pleted.

Tuskegee, Ala. — Oak Grove Green-
house has a new coleus that has been
chrfstened Yellow Trailing Queen. It
is a sport either from Trailing Queen
or Cecile Brown ' and the center of the
leaf is a good yellow, edged with green
and deeply se«rated. It is said to be
a good grower.

Riverside, UL — Martin H. Eadke has
moved his greenhouse business from
Maywood to Riverside, utilizing the
25,000 feet of glass formerly operated
by Mrs. Mary A. Reissig. His new
location, which affords larger and more
Convenient business quarters, will be
known as the National Greenhouse.

Elkhart, Ind.— The West View Floral
(^o., which was organized two years
ago to take over the business of W. H.
Troyer, is gradually working up a busi-
ness in shrubbery and hardy plants.
The firm, which is composed of N. A.
, Harold and S. S. Jones, operates a range
of seven greenhouses and a downtown
store, at 525 South Main street. Mr.
Jones has charge of the greenhouses and
Mr. Harold of the store.

Danville, HI.— After the death of
Mrs. T. J. Morgan last September, the
greenhouses which she had conducted
since the death of her husband, A. W.
Morgan, in Chicago September 10, 1909,
were purchased of the heirs by her
daughter, Mrs. Harry P. Phelps, of
Princeton, 111., and placed in the charge
of an elder sister of Mrs. Phelps. This
sister is now so ill that Mrs. Phelps con-
templates selling the property. If the
sister regains her health, however, Mrs.
Phelps says she will rebuild the green-
houses and further develop the large
trade her sister has worked up.

Forest City, la.— The Hill City
Greenhouses, started fourteen years ago
by Eugene Secor and later taken over
by his son, Willard Secor, recently de-
ceased, were sold July 19 to J. H, Eine
and son, H. B. Eine, greenhouse pro-
prietors at Humboldt, la. The consid-
eration in the deal was said to be $15,-
000. H. B. Eine will manage the Hill
City Greenhouses, while his father will
remain in charge of the Humboldt es-
tablishment. C. B. Simons, greenhouse
foreman for Willard Secor for five
years, has been retained in the same
capacity.

Minneapolis, Minn. — The Armory
garden, as it has come to be known
since the S. A. F. convention of 1913,
is again making an excellent show and
Theodore Wirth, superintendent of
parks, has issued a public invitation
to it through the daily papers. The
garden this year is nearly all planted
with hardy perennials. "The main ob-
ject of the garden," said Mr. Wirth,
"is to make the people acquainted with
the plants which are adapted for use
on home grounds in our climate, and
for that purpose especial pains have
been taken to label the plants."

THIS is the famous Gar-
land Little Wonder
Spray insf Nozzle — abso-
lutely the best for spraying
underneath foliage to keep

The regular price is 35 cents

growers order them in large
quantities.

houses, reports an unusually active de-
mand for funeral work.

Union Grove, Wis. — At the annual
meeting of the Union Grove & York-
ville Greenhouse Co., the following di-
rectors were reelected: John Martin,
J. H. Smith, W. E. Tucker, J. T. Git-
tings and E. H. Skewes. The company 's
range is under lease to French & Salm.

Janesville, Wis.— J. T, Fitchett says
the season of 1915 was the best on rec-
ord for the sale of dahlia roots. He
began cutting flowers early in July and
expects an excellent season for the sale
of blooms. Speaking of rapid transit, a
shipment of dahlia roots that left the
grower in Germany December 16
reached Mr. Fitchett June 1, after five
and one-half months on the road, in
fairly good condition.

This is but one of a long list we

Tamaqua, Fa.
To whom It may concern: —

We recommend S. Jacobs & Sons for
greenhouse construction work.

First, because of the superior quality of
their materials, and second, because of their
reasonableness in price.

The first ami second i^reenhnuses shown '
to the right of the photoRraph we purchased
from the above mentioned Arm in 191), and

thing for this entire range was bought from •
them.

Their lieatlng apparatus has given us ex-
ceptional satisfaction. We liad an outside

year, yet In spite of this we were able, under
ordinary heating, to Iceep up a temperature

THE

CANADIANS HOLD

^ ANNUAL SESSION

Members of the Canadian Horticultural Association convene at London,
Ont.y August 3 to 5, for eighteenth (mnvM meeting. Atten(^nce and ses-
sions reflect hopeful spirit of the florists of the Dominion. Profitable ad-
dressea^and enjoyable excursions make convention one of the fdbst suc-
cessful in the organization's history.

■=-.^^1-.'^-

HE members of the local
committee, in whose hands
were placed the responsi-
bilities connected with
the arrangements for this
year's convention of the
Canadian florists, have
much to be proud of.
Everything was carried
through on the tick of
the clock, without the slightest hitch
anywhere, and Chairman E; B. Hamil-
ton, Secretary J. 6. Gammage, Treas-
urer F. Dicks, F. Cheesman, superin-
tendent of trade exhibit; A. Murdoch,
W. W. Gammage, G. liicks,, J. Pawlitzki,
G. H. Hill, E. H. Whiting, A. J.
Morgan, F. Darch and J. Hunter re-
ceived the sincere congratulations of
the visitors upon the gratifying results
of their labors.

Exhibits Not Numerous.

Hyman hall was chos-
en to house the exhib-
its, which were hardly
as numerous as usual;
steadily plodding on
seems to be the pervad-
ing spirit in the busi-
ness world in this coun-
try at the present junc-
ture, since no one ap-
pears disposed to base
future operations on
the doubtful outlook of
toda3% The reports of
officers, however, showed
the association to be
stronger than ever be-
fore. The membership
was 113 last vear, and
seven new members ;
came in at this meeting.

The hall proved well
suited to the reading of
the various papers, all
of_ which were well re-
ceived, the lecture on
"The Cost of Produc-
tion of Florists'
Stock," by A. L. C.
O'Brien, of Toronto, and
that on "Orchids,"
by W. J. Jones, of the
Dale Estate, Brampton,
coming in for special
commendation. The re-
port of the plant regis-
tration committee was
read by H. J. Moore, of
Queen Victoria park,
Niagara Falls, and the
discussion that ensued
resulted in a decision

Fred Adams.

(President-elect Canadian Horticultural Association.)

Professor T. G. Bunting's paper on
"Irrigation" proved helpful. The
Skinner system was fully dealt with by
one who has watched it in all its
"^{^l^aaes. The paper en "laeects and
Pests that Affect Greenhouse Stock"
did not show W. A. Boss, of the
Dominion Entomological Laboratory,
at Virieland, Ont., at his best. There
was also^ a paper by Prof. Buck, of
Ottawa, and one on "Perennials" by
W. J. Potter, of the parks department,
Toronto.

The Social Side.

The social side of the convention be-
gan at the close of the first session, Au-
gust 3, when automobiles carried the
. members to the greenhouses of J.
Gammage*. SSitos, on Oxford street. An
inspection was made of
their establishment, the
largest in this vicinity,
where a first-rate lunch-
eon was served. The
members of the firm
were active in the
preparations for this ex-
ceedingly well planned
convention.

A thoroughly enjoy-
able trip to Port Stan-
ley over the London &
Port Stanley new elec-
trified road was the.
feature that attracted
everybody on Wednes-
day afternoon. The
scenery was gorgeous,
and those who could not
attend the convention
missed a great treat. A
baseball game was
played, Canadian flo-
rists vs. Londoners, the
latter winning 13 to 15.
Walking on the beach
and dancing in the
Casino filled in the re-
mainder of the after-

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TR^DE ARE DOING

A HINT TO SAI*ESMEN.

As a lady keeping house is judged by
her economy or lack of it, so are clerks
judged by their sales and the way they
go at them. It is a recognized fact that
some clerks, good salesmen as they may
be, are merely putting in their time, in-
stead of conscientiously taking a per-
sonal interest in the business. How
many flower stores, for instance, would
be more evenly cleared of stock if the
salesmen would think a little more!
Just because a beautiful spray or clus-
ter of pink carnations is being dis-
played on the counter, there is no earth-
ly reason why the clerk should sell one
exactly like it to the customer who is
in search of funeral flowers, when, at
the back of the store, there are hun-
dreds of white carnations' which need
to be sold more than the pink. By a
little careful handling of the customer,
telling her that colors are not consid-
ered so much today as in previous years,
and explaining that the white ones will
make just as rich looking and attractive
a spray, in most cases the salesman will
persuade the customer to accept his
judgment.

The same method can be applied to
clear stock of all kinds of flowers.
Sometimes it may be roses, at times it
may be sweet peas, b\it almost every
day, in every store, there is an over-
supply of some kind of flowers.

If it be carnations, asters or sweet
peas that are overabundant, let me sug-
gest, when the customer is ordering de-
sign work, that the salesman recom-
mend solid effects. What is more beau-
tiful than a cross or wreath of flowers
solidly worked and shaded in together,
with a loose arrangement on the side
of the wreath or in the center of the
' cross f These arrangements display ar-
tistic taste and never fail to please the
customer, and at the same time dispose
of stock that badly needs to be moved.
In these kinds of designs many flowers

can be used which are somewhat infe-
rior, but which at the same time cost
as much as the best. If this is not
done, probably these flowers would be
wasted and be a clear loss to the pro-
prietor.

Each salesman and saleslady should
acquaint himself or herself every morn-
ing with the stock. At a glance at the
icebox they can see for themselves how
the stock stands. If this is not possi-
ble, surely the manager or proprietor
can say, "Sell so-and-so whenever pos-
sible, please," and the desired result
will be obtained. Good judgment on
the part of clerks is one of the main
factors in our business, which is a busi-
ness for all occasions. H. J. H.

RIGHT TO CLEAE STREET.

While walking along a business street
the other evening, I saw a florist order
the removal of a refreshment cart which
was standing in front of his store in
such a manner as to obstruct access to
the store. Being always on the alert
to meet the legal difficurfcips of the
readers of The Eeview, I came, as a
result, to consider this question: What
legal rights has a florist or seedsman
against obstruction of th« street or
sidewalk in front of his store? And this
is what I find to be the law on the
point, as announced by decisions of the
high.e«t courts of the country:

He is entitled to have access left free
for himself and his patrons between the
street and sidewalk and his store, as
against any unreasonable obstruction
created by an individual or the city.
When this right is infringed, he is en-
titled to sue for damages sustained by
him, or to enjoin further annoyance, if
he is unable to obtain redress at the
hands of traffic officers or other local
authorities. But there is no right to
relief against inconvenience resulting
from proper use of the street or side-

walk for travel by the public, includ-
ing maintenance of street car tracks,
or from maintenance of electric light
and telephone poles, etc. Every owner
and occupant of property must bear
the inconvenience arising from the
street or sidewalk being torn up in the
making of repairs or improvements.
There are several decisions to the ef-
fect that, in order to recover for in-
jury' to property resulting from ob-
structing a street on which it abuts,
the complaining owner must show dam-
ages different in character from those
sustained by the public at large.

The right of an occupant of busi-
ness premises to enjoin hacks from
standing in front of the place in such
manner as to obstruct access thereto
has been often recognized by the courts.
I recall that not long ago the Iowa or
Nebraska Supreme court decided that
a merchant was entitled to enjoin his
town from maintaining hitching posts
in an abutting street in such manner as
to unduly interfere with the merchant's
and his customers' access to the store.
The Alabama Supreme court has sus-
tained the right of a property owner to
sue to enjoin maintenance of wagon
scales in a street where they were so
constructed as to interfere with in-
gress to, and egress from, his prem-
ises. (City of Florence vs. Woodruff,
59 Southern Eeporter 435.)

In a comparatively recent case, the
Pennsylvania Supreme court decided
that when the occupant of a business
building sets up on the sidewalk in
front of the building a showcase or
signs which attract crowds, obstructing
Ihe entrance used by another occupant
of the same building, and cutting off
the view of the latter 's show windows,
the latter is entitled to compel removal
of the signs and showcase on the ground
that they constitute a nuisance. (Green
& Green Co. vs. Thresher, 83 Atlantic
Reporter 711.)

The Best Rose Decoration Ever Accomplished by Max Scbliog.

The fact that a passageway con-
structed above a street to connect build-
ings on opposite sides was high enough
not to interfere with traflSc along , the
street was held by the Maryland Court
of Appeals not to relieve it from be-
ing a nuisance as against an adjacent
property owner, whose light is thereby
obstructed. (Townsend vs. Epstein, 49
Atlantic Eeporter 629.)

Authority for saying that a city is
liable for injury to a property owner
caused by permitting an excavation to
remain in a street in such way as to
obstruct travel is found in a decision
of the New York Court of Appeals.

MAX SCHLING'S BEST.

Max Schling, the original and ener-
getic New York retail florist, has to
his credit many unique decorations and
arrangements, yet the success of which
he is most proud has nothing whatever
of originality in it. The accompany-
ing illustration shows Mr. Schling 's
best. The roses are good, but nothing,
in the florist's opinion, compares with
the central feature of the arrangement
— Max Schling, Jr., aged 1 year.

OBASSHOPFEB DESIGN.

Among the many orders for unusual
floral designs, few present more diffi-
culty to the make-up artist than one re-
cently given the Kalisch Bros. Floral
Co., St. Louis, Mo. It was for a large
grasshopper, the trade-mark of a print-
ing house for whose opening the piece
was ordered. How the make-up artist
overcame the obstacles of this particu-
lar order can be seen by the reader for
himself in the accompanying illustra-
tion. Koses and carnations were the
principal flowers used. A few other
kinds were made use of for particular
parts of the piece.

WOULD CHANGE MEMOBIAL DAY.

Herbert F. Warren, proprietor of the
Peony Gardens, at Trumbull, Neb., is
sponsor for a movement to change the
date of Memorial day, according to the
Denver Post, which stated:

"Vo' enable florists to have three
days in which to prepare for Memorial
day business, Herbert F. Warren, of
Trumbull, Neb., has started a movement
to have Memorial day changed from
May 30 to the first Thursday in June
of each year. 'This,' says Mr. Warren,
'would allow three days for prepara-
tion and transportation, and one day,
Friday, to straighten up shop, and all
could be ready to worship God on the
day that they thought right.' "

July 3, 1914. The liquidator points out
that the nurseries are more valuable
this year, in some respects, than they
were last year. While the stock is in
good condition, it is unsalable, and
there is no prospect of any income be-
ing derived from it until next spring.
The liquidator adds that the company
has "no money, and cannot borrow any,
since it can not offer tangible security.
An offer has been made for the pur-
chase of the assets, subject to an op-
tion for sixty days, which is under
consideration. Among the trade credi-
tors with unsecured claims are:

Kindly .Advise me how to build a

C. B.— Ohio.

A coldframe with plank sides, dug
out so as to allow room for a foot of
stable manure, which should be moist,
mixed with some leaves to prevent vio-
lent heating and thoroughly tramped,
will root rose cuttings nicely during
the last half of July and the first half
of August. Cover the manure with four
inches of sandy loam and put the cut-
tings in this. It is not absolutely nec-
essary to have bottom heat, but the
cuttings will root earlier in it.

SELECTION OF THE BUD.

Kindly advise me as to the best buds
to take, the time of flowering and, the
length of stem, with reference to such
chrysanthemums as Lynnwood Hall,
Balfour, W. R. Brock, Pink Ball, Golden
Wedding, Marie Liger, Chadwick, Pink
Beauty, William Turner, Minnesota,
Golden Age, Gilded Gold, W. H. Lin-
coln, Black Hawk, Marion Newell, Mill-
brook and Snow Bird. Is Sweetness a
pompon? When does it come in and
what is its color? L. L. C. — Mo.

The question of bud selection de-
pends a great deal on how late the flow-
ers are needed. Some growers will -take
the latest possible bud on such kinds as
Brock, Chadwick, Fink Beauty, Lynn-
wood Hall and W. H. Lincoln. By
this is meant that the plants are kept
growing as long as possible, and the
last bud the plant produces, which is
known as the terminal bud, is re-
tained, because the plant makes no
further growth after that time. After
September 1 the bud is safe on prac-
tically any of the varieties mentioned,
but if L. L. C. wishes to have any
flowers large enough for exhibition, he
should try to get a bud on such varie-
ties as Turner, Marie Liger &ai Black
Hawk as soon as possible after August
20.

Late planting and a selection of the
terminal bud contribute more than any-
thing else to make varieties late in
blooming. For instance, the variety W.
R. Brock, which I distributed to the
trade about eight years ago, if the bud
is taken in the last part of August,
will give good flowers by November 6,
whereas the same variety, if it is propa-
gated late and a late bud is secured,
will give fine flowefs for Christmas.

The length of stem will also depend
largely on the time of planting and the
method of growing. If L. L. C. has as
much head room as five and one-half feet,
that should be sufficient for even the
tallest kinds, which will be Lynnwood
Hall or Chadwick. Other kinds, such
as Lincoln, Brock and Balfour, will not
need over two feet of head room, unless
they were propagated in February and
have been growing continuously ever
since. I do not know of the variety
Sweetness, so cannot say whether it is
a pompon or not. I cannot recollect a
variety of this name.

BLACK SPIDERS ON MUMS.

For several seasons we have been
bothered by a small black spider in
our chrysanthemum houses and it is
at times exceedingly troublesome. Dur-
ing the growing season no apparent
damage is done, but as soon as the
flowers are well along toward develop-
ment, especially the later varieties, the
spiders spin their webs so as to com-
pletely enclose the flowers over night.
We should like to hear from readers
of The Review on any practical means
of killing spiders of this sort. Would
the salt spray solution that is used for

would do any good — or harm — to mums.
It might be a good idea to try it. i

sj^er on mums, bW in our case ft is
wmte instead of bla«k. During the
growing season these spiders are found
underneath the leaves and do no ap-
parent damage, because the plq^,^
grow rapidly and the insects mOve
from leaf to leaf without injuring the
plants to any great,., extent. This pest
seems to be closely allied to the red
spider, but it is more difficult to clean
out than thji^ latter. I have heard
growers (j^KSHil^ fumigating with
cyanide onM^Kw%ek will keep them
entirely cleaned out, but I have never
tried this method and so am not in a
position to pass on its merits. We
keep our plants well syringed, par-
ticularly on the under side of the
leaves-, all summer. As a result, when
fall comes and the syringing has to be
dispensed with, our plants are fairly
clean. Of course, it is impossible to
syringe after the buds begin to show
color. Spider has never been a serious
trouble with us, but if it has attained
the dimensions of a pest with 8. F.
C, it might be well to try the cyanide
treatment.

I am not informed as to whether the
salt spray solution used on carnations

Of the leaves enclosed, the one F. R.
calls worm-eaten has been ruined by
the leaf roller.<. The egg is deposited
by the moth inside the tissues of the
leaf, and, as the caterpillar develops,
it wraps the leaf around itself for de-
fense. As a rule, the leaf roller is
not particularly plentiful and the saf-
est way would be to remove and burn
the leaves.

The other leaf, I believe, is af-
fected with a fungoid disease which is
common on mums when the plants are
growing too close together. Any of
the recommended fungicides, such as
Bordeaux, Fungine^ copper' solution or
sulphide of potassium, will go a long
way toward eradicating this disease
and preventing it from spreading, by
killing the spores which cause it.

In regard to the daisies, the sample
flowers submitted were black when re-
ceived and were useless for the purpose
of identification. As a mere guess, I
would say the double one is Mar-
guerite Mrs. F. Sander, and the single
one what is known as the Shasta daisy.

SOWING OUTDOOR SWEET PEAS.

Please inform me as to the projter
time to sow outdoor sweet peas in fall
to have them in bloom early in the
spring. Also, what varieties and col-
ors are free bloomers and good sellers?
I shall appreciate any information you
can give me. F, S. — Pa.

In your latitude I would sow the
seed early in November. Should the
ground keep open and be sufficiently
dry to b^ workable, they can be sown
later — at any time before the ground
freezes up. Give them a mulch of
strawy manure after a crust several
inches thick has formed. Do not apply
it while the ground is soft, or mice may
cause havoc.

Among the best selling varieties are
Hercules and Countess Spencer, which
are splendid deep pinks. This is the
most popular shade for the market. In
white, try Nora Unwin. There are one
or two new and expensive sorts that
are a little superior, but none of mod-

erate price. In light shades of pink,
Mrs. Hugh Dickson is still hard to beat.
Florence Nightingale is a splendid lav-
ender. If you need any other colors.
Scarlet Emperor, John Ingman, rose,
and Improved Miss Willmott, orange
pink, are good. All the foregoing are
of the Spencer type. The old grandi-
floras will not sell in competition with
them.

I would suggest that you try start-
ing some seeds in flats of sand about. '
March 1. Pot the seedlings off singly
into 3-inch pots. Gradually harden
them oft' and plant outdoors about the
middle of April, one foot apart. Com-
pare the results from these with the
fall-sown ones and I think you will
want to start them in flats another
season. C. 'W.

PANSIES AT THE FAIR.

One of the glories of the San Fran-
cisco exposition is the Court of Flowers,
which lies between the Palace of Va-
ried Industries and the Palace of
Manufactures. Nothing seenns to haye
impressed the visitors more favorably
than the showing of pansies, with their
masses of brilliant color. These great
beds, probably the largest ever planted
in the United States except for seed
purposes, were not exhibits, but were
filled with .stock purchased by the ex-
position management from various
growers. Steele's Pansy Gardens, of
Portland, Ore., furnished a consider-
able part of the stock, but was not the
only one drawn upon.

The soil is a heavy red clay loam and
seems to dry out pretty well. I intend
to plant Christmas White and Christ-
mas Pink. Are these the best varieties
to plant for a good crop about Decem-

BEOONIAS FOR tHANKSGIVINO.

I have a fine lot of Begonia
Chatelaine in 4-inch pots, ready to be
repotted to 6-inch pots. They have
started to bloom. I have pinched the
flowers off, as I wanted them for
Thanksgiving. Can I keep on pinch-
ing for a while, or is it better to let
them bloom and sell them earlier?

W. H. W.— (;:aL_

If your soil seems to dry ont^^ljl^ it
probablvi;does not need any drainage.
Instead of digging out trenches, the
best plan would be to give the whole
border a trenching two feet deep, work-
ing in a liberal dose of rotted cow
manure if you have it; if not, well de-
cayed horse manure. If you think the
soil is too stiff, you could improve it
by working in at the same time a dress-
ing of coarse sand, fine g|%vel, fine
coal ashes or road grit.

The rows five feet apart will be all
right. The old Christmas Pink and
Christmas White, which are grandiflora
varieties, are being largely superseded
by the winter-flowering Spencers. The
seed of these Spencers is high-priced,
but the flowers are much more salable
than those of the grandifloras. Pink
and white are the two best selling
colors. You will find these winter
Spencers advertised in The Review. For
a- good Christmas crop in your latitude,
I would sow early in September. Start
the seeds in flats; then plant out four
to six inches apart. Support with cot-
ton twine strung from the rafters, if
these happen to come right. If not,
you can run overhead wires and others
above the ground to run the strings
from. The shoots will need loose tying
in once a week in addition. C. W.

There is no known cure for rustj^on
antirrhinums. Apparently, this is a
year of rain, rust and ruin. With inces-
sant wet weather throughout the coun-
try, we shall see destructive results on
all plant life from this enemy in its
varied forms. With continued rain and
moisture from fog, there is no oppor-
tunity for spraying, even if we had an
effective remedy. Destroy, by burning,
all infested plants, and, where possi-
ble, burn over the ground by scattering
dry straw. Lastly, scatter lime and
sulphur over every inch of infested

GLADIOLUS BULBS DECAYING.

I am sending under separate cover
some leaves and bulbs of Gladiolus
Peach Blossom. These were planted in
the first part of January, between car-
nations in ground beds. They have
had two applications of pulverized
sheep manure and two of lime. The
watering and temperature have been
the same as usually given to carna-
tions. Eecently I noticed some of the
shoots dying. They turn yellow at the
tip and then gradually dry up. Yo*
will notice that one of the bulbs I
send is completely decayed, while the
other is just starting to decay on one
side. In the decayed tissues you will
find some little white maggots and also
a number of little, yellowish insects,
similar in form to aphides. Have these
anything to do with causing the trou-
ble, or did they get in after the plant
tissues had decayed? Some Blushing
Bride planted at the same time and
given the same conditions are slightly
affected, but not nearly so badly as the
Peach Blossom. Can you suggest a
remedy! C. Kj|||^-^ich.

I think the maggots were not the
cause of the plants becoming sickly,
but came after the bulbs started de-
caying. The most probable cause of
the Gladiolus Peach Blossom dying is
that they had too much plant food.
They are naturally much less vigorous
in habit than G. Blushing Bride, which
will stand an amount of feeding which
would be ruinous to Peach Blossom. I
am aware that good gladioli of the
small-flowered or nanus type are some-
times grown with carnations, but they
do vastly better in a bed by themselves,
and best of all in flats containing four
or five inches of soil. Considering the
long period that elapses from planting
to fiowering time, I consider these
gladioli the reverse of profitable as a
bench crop, but quite profitable if
grown in flats. C. W.

GLADIOLI IN OHIO.

On a visit last week to the establish-
ment of C. Betscher, Canal Dover, O.,
I discovered something that was sur-
prising to me. Possibly to the spe-
cialist in gladioli it was just an ordi-
nary field, but 200 rows of gladioli,
6,000 bulbs to the row, in rows over
900 feet long, was a sight. Fully half
of this field is taken up with seedlings
of Mr. Betscher 's own raising, some
blooming for the first time, some on
trial as first and second year sorts, and
one, Eugene V. Debs, a red of unusual
brilliancy, is a seedling of 1911. It
promises to surpass anything in its
color that is known today as a standard
sort.

The majority of Mr. Betscher 's
crossings have been on the primulinus
type crossed by the gandavensis type,
and the race he has produced is tall
and wiry, heavily flowered, with dis-
tinct coloring and early blooming habit.

At this date, August 6, the majority
of the primulinus seedlings have passed
their prime, while the Kelway, Vil-
morin, Childsii and other well known
types are just coming into flower.
America, Augusta, Mrs. Francis Eing
and other standard sorts are grown in
quantity, to a height of about three
feet, while the sefedlin^s average well
over four feet, a decided difference.

Mr. Betscher has been working for
six yearsi on this new strain of gladi-
oli, and sbn^e w«nderful new varieties
are bound to result from this batch of
seedlings that he now has in flower.

A small field of Astermum, both pink
and lavender, shows unusual promise,
running over ninety per cent full
double flowers. By careful selection the
single and half -single flow^Uauhave
been eliminated. EverbloOT^J^ seed-
lings of hemerocallis, or day "lily, are
another specialty to be found here.

SOWING DELPHINIUM SEED.

JPUm you tell me how to plant delphin-
liirir seed to get it to germinate? I
have planted several different varie-
ties from four different seed houses and
none of it seems to come through the
ground, except, perhaps, one or two
plants to a package. Does this seed
need different treatment from other
perennial seed? If so, what is the se-
cret of success in growing these plants
from seed? I have purchased a quan-
tity of seed and wish to raise a lot of
plants, if possible. F. T. W. — N. J.

I cannot understand why you have
so much trouble in germinating del-
phinium seed. Surely at least one of
the seed houses would have fresh seed
of it. Sow your seed in coldframes.
Screen the soil well and mix a fair
proportion of sand with it. Cover light-

ly. Sow in rows six to eight inches
apart. Protect with sashes and cover
with board shutters until germination
starts. Then gradually inure to light.
Leave the sashes tilted,, at the top, so
as to admit some air all the time.
Water with a ^|p|pro.se can after sow-
ing. A g:ood time to sow is April and
May, or later in the season. August'
will be found better than July. Why
not save some seed from good plants
of your own? Sow when ripe.

DISEASED ANTIRRHINUMS.

I am sending under separate cover
a plant of yellow snapdragon which is
badly affected with what seems to be
some sort of fungous disease. I first
noticed this trouble just before plant-
ing outdoors. The plants made a vigor-
ous growth and seemed to be recover-
ing. Eecently, however, the disease
has become worse and is spreading to
the other varieties. When a plant is
badly affected the stem is attacked and
the plant dies. This seems to resem-
ble the antirrhinum rust which was
described in The Beview about a year
ago, except that I hav% been' unable
to find any of the brown particles. Can
you tell me what this disease is, and
suggest a remedy? I am using Bor-
deaux mixture.

C. K. S.— Mich.

This disease seems to be quite preva-
lent at present, being especially bad
where there has been cepsiderable
rain and damp, cloudy weather. It at-
tacks cuttings worse than seedlings.
The leaves are usually first affected,
showing small, round spots. The dis-
ease, however, soon fastens on the
stems just above the soil and in a
short time completely girdles the plants
and kills them. Indoor plants in a drier
atmosjJhere are not immune from attack,
but it is possible, by spraying before
the disease shows at all, to keep the
indoor stock clean. Outdoors all you
can do is to pull up and burn badly
affected plants and spray the remain-
ing ones every fourth day with Bor-
deaux or Fungine. I have found
the latter a reliable remedy and now
use it entirely on snapdragons, chrys-
anthemums and other indoor plants at-
tacked by fungoid growths.

Five Acres of Lilium Myriophyllum Grown by R. & J. Farquhar & Co.p at Roslindalr, Mats.

Examine all snapdragon plants care-
fully when planting indoors and. dis-
card all that show any signs of fungus.
Also, be careful not to bury the stems
in the benches any deeper than they had
been in the pots or flats. C. W.

LHJUM MYBIOPHYLLUM.

A 5-acre tract at Roslindale, Boston,
Mass., containing approximately 1,000,-
000 plants of Lilium myriophyllum, or
regale, shown in the accompanying illus-
tratibn, waS a magnet for crowds dur-
ing the period of blooming.

The plants were propagated by E. &
J. Farquhar & Co., of Boston, from
the plants brought six years ago from
Thibet by E. H. Wilson. Like the
other discoveries of Mr. Wilson, this
plant became the property of the
Arnold Arboretum, but as the arbo-
retum does not propagate bulbous
plants, the stock was taken over by
the Farquhars, who have the sole sup-
ply.

Prof. Sargent and Mr. Wilson, of the
arboretum, both believe the lily to be
a notable introduction to horticulture,
and because of its various advantages
predict a most successful career for it.

A stalk bears from one to twenty-one
blooms. The flower is funnel-shaped
and more or less colored in varying
shades of pink on the outside. It is
■white on the inside, except for a clear
canary yellow throat. When the sun
strikes it, the dainty pink on the out-
side is visible on the interior. The
\8tamens are tipped with a golden
anther, and, because the pollen is of
an oily character, it does not easily
blow oflf and discolor the. white tubes.

The delicate fragrance of the flowers
is said to be intensified in the early
morning and in the evening. The fact
that the odor is not heavy suggests its
desirability for the sick room. The
plant is said to be easily cultivated in
any soil, to require little attention, and
never to need staking, because of the
strength of its slender stems, which are
froi* two to four feet tall.

VIOLETS IN COLDFEAME.

To grow a bed of violets in a cold-
frame, should we first dig a hole in the
frame and bed the stable manure? How
deep should we put it? When should
we plant, and what is the best variety?
Which is better for covering, cloth or
glass? Will the violets bloom in win-
ter? Any other information on the sub-
ject will be appreciated, as we have
never grown violets.

C. F. C— Miss.

Dig out the frame to a depth of at

least two feet. Place a foot of manure
at the bottom and firm it well before
putting in the soil. Double violets, of
which Lady Hume Campbell is the most
satisfactory variety, need earlier plant-
ing than the singles. With you the
doubles should be planted about the end
of September. The best single is Prin-
cess of Wales, the flowers of which are
large and are carried on long stems.
Do not plant these before early Novem-
ber. They should have one or two light
freezings before sashes are placed over
them.

Glass is preferable to cloth as a cov-
ering. In severe weather they would
need some protection, even in your
state. Doubles are more tender than
singles and do well grown somewhat
warmer. In the north, 45 degrees at
night for doubles and 40 degrees for
singles are usual winter minimums. On
mild nights these figures will be ex-
ceeded; then air should be used abun-
dantly. Violets succeed well only in a
comparatively low temperature. They
will bloom moderately with you in mid-
winter in frames, but heavily in late
winter. I think probably your tempera-
ture will be a little high for successful
culture of violets, but I am glad you
are to give them a trial. C. W.

Show Pelargouliims.

:- The wood on show pelargoniums will
now be well ripened and the plants
can be pruned back quite hard. At
the same time, save any cuttings
needed to work up an additional stock
for another year. After the plants
have started to break, shake out and
repot them, using smaller pots, into
which the roots can just be conveni-
ently squeezed.

Callas.

Early in August is the proper time
to shake out and repot the callas. As
between growing single tubers in 6-inch
pots and three in 8-inch pots, I find the
latter size much the more profitable.
Use a strong loam, with one-fourth of
well rotted manure and a good dash
of coarse sand. The plants can stand
outdoors for some weeks after potting.
The Godfrey calla I have found to be
much purer in color and far more pro-
lific than the old Calla ^thiopica. It
will also produce equally large flowers
/when the plants are of sufficient size.
It is not possible, however, to pot on
small plants and get the same results
as from^ older stock.

Freesias.

The earliest batch of freesias, which
are to produce flowers for the holidays,
are already above ground. These were
covered with leaves and protected with
board shutters until they appeared
above ground. Now they are exposed
to full light. They will remain in a
coldframe until September. The pres-
ent is a suitable time to make a suc-
cessional planting of freesias to flower
from the middle of January onward.

Pansies.

Nothing is gained by sowing pansies
too early^ In a warm, moist fall they
continue to grow late and make plants
of rather unwieldy size. Early in
August is a sufficiently early date to
sow seed for northern sections, while
a fortnight later will be better farther
south. For the small grower the best
plan is to sow in a coldframe. Screen
the soil well and sow either broadcast
or in rows six inches apart. Shade
with cheesecloth until the seeds germi-
nate and then give full sun. Where
large quantities are needed a good plan
is to sow broadcast on beds three feet
wide, having previously pulverized the
soil well and removed all stones. If
these beds can be located, not under,
but near large trees or buildings, in
order to get partial shade, all the bet-
ter. Water the beds well after sowing
the seed; then give a mulch of dry
moss or leaves until germination starts.
This prevents the soil from drying out
so severely.

A number of special pansy strains
are offered. The Giant Trimardeau i?
good. Some improvements on this also
are offered. Whatever you do, pur-
chase good seed. This will insure

flowers of good size. As a ruldi mixed
colors are preferred by customers, but
if you have need of special colors, a
number of separate shades are pro-
curable.

Violas.

The bedding violas make fine ground
covers for bulb beds and can be kept
flowering all summer if given a little
shade and some water. They are
smaller than the pansies, but much
more free-flowering. A few good va-
rieties of these bedding violas, or tufted
pansies, as they are commonly called,
are V. grandiflora lutea. Mauve Queen,
White Perfection, and Admiration,
dark blue.

Myosotis.

It is better to sow myosojis a few
days later than pansies, so^that the
plants will not be too large when
winter sets in. For a compact variety,
alpestris is excellent. Blue, white and
pink varieties are procurable. Myoso-
tis sylvatica, a more robust and spread-
ing variety, is good for use as a ground
cover in bulb beds. All are good in
the wild garden or rock " garden, and
all prefer some shade.

Hollyhocks.

If seeds of hollyhocks are not yet
sown, there is still time to get plants
of flowering size. Sow either in a
coldframe or in rows, outdoors. While
the double flowers are more seed than
the singles, the latter are much more
refined and beautiful. Clumps of these
in the hardy flower borders have been
fine this season, many being eight to
ten feet in height.

NEW YOEKEES ON AN OUTING.

A certain coterie of New Yorkers
holds the championship for versatility
— not only are they proficient in the
florists' business but they are cham-
pion bowlers and expert fishermen, as

shown by the accompanying illustra-
tion, prepared froi^ a snapshot by

ity to have a fine time under any and
all circumstances.

Hatcheri. Will yoii kindly inform me

Whatever it is, it is going through the

a solid bed. I have noticed a few
small white caterpillars and occasion-
ally a cutworm, but it does not seem
possible that so few of these could do
so much damage. The bed is 2x100
feet. I fertilize with old cow manure,
but have not used any since spring.

J. H. S.— Conn.

The asparagus shoot in question had
turned brown in patches throughout its
length; or, rather, the side shoots had
done so. Its condition suggested at
once that the troubla'^was at the roots
and was not due to caterpillars. The
most likely cause of such a condition
is defective drainage, with the conse-
quent souring of the soil, and the best
remedy, if such is the case, would be to
lift the plants, then refill the bed with
fresh soil, and replant. Some provision
should be made for drainage, by putting
a layer of • coarse cinders or broken
brick in the bottom of the bed.

AZALEAS CAN COME.

Britisb Will Consider Cases. **■

The British government is unwill-
ing to permit the unregulated traflBe
in Belffian plants exported via Rot-
terdamf but is willing to consider spe-
cific applications for permits to ship
azaleas where those at interest feel
they can show the enemies of Great
Britain will not profit by the busi-
ness.

The matter of imports of azaleas was
first presented to the British govern-
ment by the American Consul General
at London, acting on instructions
from the State department at Wash-
ington in accordance with a request
from and backed by data furnished
by The Eeview. This was supported
by the action of several trade bodies,
in this country and in Belgium, and
by many individual importers. Dur-
ing the many weeks that have elapsed
the British authorities have had the
subject under consideration and have
blown both hot and cold. While re-
fusing to modify their "orders in
council" aimed to blockade the com-
>* merce of Germany, they have ex-
pressed a willingness to permit the
shipment of plants from Belgium
where; in each case, evidence could be
presented that the money would not go
into German hands. Two w^eks ago
the foreign trade advisers notified
The Review of the receipt of the fol-
lowing cable from Consul General
Skinner at London:

Shipments from Belgium before Cabinet. I-
have private advices that plan being worlted out
which will enable exports to go forward and pay-
ments to be made under certain supervision.
Decision expected some days hence.

The correspondence of July 30, pub-
lished by the State department, gave
no encouragement of any relaxation
on the part of tjjie British, but a cable,
also dated July '30, from Consul Gen-
eral Skinner and communicated bv the
State department to The Review
shows the British attitude. The cable
is:

Authorities give no encouragement that aza-
lt™ifl"*.T^ *^"-°.^ arranged owing to the many

will be considered.

McHutchison & Co., New York, de-
scribe the modus operandi as follows:

McHutchison on the Situation.

"With reference to fall shipments
of azaleas and other Belgian plants
which were under embargo by the
British authorities, we are pleased to
be able to now advise you definitely
that shipments will arrive this fall on
schedule time from Belgium, unless the
German authorities intervene or the
progress of the war disrupts the pres-
ent arrangements.

"The plan worked out is that per-
mits are given by the British authori-
ties to individual Belgian shippers,
when proof is submitted that the stock
IS of Belgian origin and production,
for Belgian interests, and that the
enemies of Great Britain do not get
any revenue or benefit from the sales.
The proceeds of the sales remain in
control of the British authorities so
Jong as the Belgians remain under con-
trol of the Germans.

"It was largely by reason of the
pressure brought to bear on the Brit-
ish authorities by the Belgian shippers
that permission was given. The Bel-

JOHN WATSON.

THE striking characteristic of "Johnnie" Watson is his modesty — still if you
press him he will admit that probably he has grown and sold more rose plants
than anyone else in the business; his father was a rose specialist in Texas and
the concern of which he is secretary, Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., has
made a specialty of roses for many years. He is on the American Rose Society's
committee in charge of the test garden at Cornell University, is a member of
the S. A. F., the Rochester Florists ' Club, the Western Association of Nurserymen,
an officer in the Nurserymen 's Protective Association, also the Wholesale Orna-
mental Growers, and just the other day was elected vice-president of the American
Association of Nurserymen. Naturally he has a wide acquaintance — if you insist
he will admit he thinks he knows personally more nurserymen here and in Europe
than any other man in the trade. And they nearly all call him by his first name,
which has a lot to do with getting business and holding it, don't you think?

rect to the British authorities, and in
this protest we understand they were
assisted by the British national organi-
zation of florists.

"From our side, protest to the em-
bargo was made through the State
department by the New York Horti-
cultural Importers' Association, as-
sisted by individual importers and
backed by the powerful Merchants'
Association of New York. The com-
bined pressure, strong but just, caused
the British authorities to investigate,
with the result that Belgian shippers
who have secured permits can ship
their orders to the United States,

"This decision is important to flo-
rists, who depend largely upon aza-
leas for their Christmas and Easter
sales, but still more so to the Belgian

shippers, since the United States is
practically the only market left open
to them."

Trade Adviser Beslgns.

Incidentally, Robert F. Rose, foreign
trade adviser of the State department,
who has been handling the case of the
Belgian plant imports, resigned August
7. It is reported that Mr. Rose quit
because he believed himself unable
to persuade the United States to
back up his efforts to force Great
Britain into an agreement permitting
American exporters and importers to
enjoy the rights of trade with neutral
European countries. Administration
officials think conditions surrounding
the import and export business of this
country will improve soon. They are
confident of winning their contention

TIME TO START PAPER WHITES.

How long does it take to get Paper
Whites in bloom from the time of plant-
ing the bulbs f F. K. — Mass.

Paper Whites can be planted in flats

or placed directly in the beaches. Flats
are preferable, as in these the plants
can be forced or retarded more easily.
If planted in August, they pan be flow-
ered early in November. For Christ-
mas they can be started a month later.
It is better to start them in good season
and keep them in a cool cellar until
wanted for forcing. The time to flower
them after housing depends on the sea-
son. In a temperature of 55 degrees,
allow three to five weeks. C. W.

MUMS IN THE SOUTH.

Taking the Bud.

Most of the plants at present are
making crown buds, which should be
removed at once, as it is entirely too
early to let any bud develop. All the
side shoots should also be pinched off,
except the leading or strongest one.

Early in August is a good time to
give tne beds more fertilizer. First
apply a top-dressing of guano, say
twelve to fifteen quarts to 500 square
feet of surface, and cover with a good
inch of fresh cow manure. This will
carry the plants along until the time
when liquid fertilizers are needed,
which is just as soon as the buds are
taken.

This is the rock on which many
southern growers get bumped. It is
a mistake to take a crown bud before
the last week in August or the first
week in September, even on the early
varieties. Golden Glow and Smith's
Advance are two exceptions; the buds
on these develop satisfactorily if tak-
en two weeks earlier. Crown buds
taken too early develop imperfectly,
and many a good, profitable variety is
condemned on this account.

Crown or Terminal Buds?

Colonel Appleton is a case in point.
This variety makes few perfect flowers
from a crown bud taken September 1,
but on terminal buds, taken ten days
or two weeks later, the flowers will
come in fine shape and be almost as
early. Robert Halliday makes a
tempting looking crown bud early in
August, but one developing near the
end of the month will make a better
flower. Mrs. Robinson, V. Poehlmann,
C. Touset and Glory of Pacific all pro-
duce good blooms from crown buds
taken late in August or early in Sep-
tember.

The mid-season varieties do not gen-
erally make crown buds until well into
September and, as a rule, these buds
make better flowers than those from
terminal buds.

Crown buds, after taking, remain
stationary for a long time before ex-
panding, while a terminal bud keeps
moving right along. Hence, though a
crown bud may be taken two weeks
earlier than a terminal bud, there is
only a difference of a day or two in
their time of flowering. This quicker
development is a big point in favor
of the terminal bud, as it makes the

time so much shorter for thrips to get
a chance at them. Terminal buds
should be taken on all the late varie-
ties.

If each grower would try a few dif-
ferent buds on each variety and put
down the results in a notebook, he
would find the notes of great value for
future reference and guidance. In a
case of this kind it is unwise to de-
pend on the memory alone. L.

This is rust, a disease which soon
virtually destroys hollyhocks. As your
plants are now badly affected, tj^ere is.
no use in trying to save themT The
best way, in fact the only way, to keep
them clean is to spray with Bordeaux
mixture once a week, from the middle
of April until the plants show flower.
Do not wait for the rust to appear be-
fore spraying, as prevention is better
than cure. It is also a good plan to
spray once or twice the previous fall.
Destroy all affected plants by burning.
This disease has decimated hollyhocks
for nearly half a century, but is not
a^ bad now as twenty years ago. It is
most virulent on plants growing in a
dry soil. C. W.

RUST ON HOLIiTHOCKS.

Within a few days our hollyhocks
have been reduced to an unsightly lot
of almost bare stalks, with the leaves
turned brown and dropping, and they
are covered with a growth like that on
the sample enclosed. Can you tell me

Buddleia variabilis Veitchiana, in
common with all buddleias, is easily
propagated from cuttings. These will
root in a warm propagating bench as
quickly as heliotropes. Propagation
can be started in October and, if you
have a few indoor stock plants, can be
continued until spring. In order to
have heavy plants in 4-inch or 5-inch
pots for spring sales, put the cuttings
in not later than December. This is
probably the most easily propagated
shrub we have. It may also be in-
creased by seeds, but these are likely
to produce plants more variable in
character. C. W.

belief in practice. His residence is
most convenient, connecting directly
with the office and range.

Greenhouses and ReSiience of William A. Kintzele, at Michigan City, Ind.

KINTZELE SHOWS SU0C5ESS.

W. A. Kintzele has been in business
at Michigan City, Ind., for many years.
That they have been prosperous years,
no one can doubt, for just two years
ago Mr. Kintzele rebuilt his range south
of the city, putting up Moninger bolted
houses of iron-frame construction, 27x
250 feet. Then, the following year, he
started on the erection of a dwelling of
a fairly pretentious character and of
good size. The range and the house
are both shown on this page.

Mr. Kintzele grows a general line of
stock, in which he does a wholesale and
retail business. He at one time con-
ducted a store in Michigan City, but
disposed of it in 1910 in order to de-
vote his whole time to the greenhouses,
where his success has kept him busy.

HAYDEN'S NEW HOUSE.

In addition to installing a complete
new heating system throughout the en-
tire range, M. F. Hayden, at Wilming-
ton, Del., has just finished building an-
other greenhouse, 42x100 feet. It is
of King iron-frame construction, of the
pipe rafter type, supported by two runs
of posts, with cross ties and cross braces.
This is the type of house that has also
been erected at the Florex Gardens,
North Wales, Pa., and by the Montgom-
ery Co., Hadley, Mass. An interior view
of the new house is given herewith.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Afte^ a week of storm, humidity and
summer dullness, more cheerful condi-
tions have developed. The demand, ex-
cept for asters and gladioli, is about
equal to the supply and apart from the
flood of these the shipments, especially
of roses, are readily absorbed at better
prices than have of late prevailed.

Carnations have passed for the
present.

GROWING COMMERCIAL ORCHIDS.

[A paper read before tlie convention of the
Canadian Horticultural Association at London,
Ont August 5, by Wm. J. Jones, bead of the
orchid section at the Dale Estate, Brampton,
Ont.]

In this paper I wish to speak mainly
on those orchids best grown for both
commercial and decorative purposes.
Therefore, T must place the cattleya
first, as it undoubtedly is the finest and
best known commercial orchid we
have, and with a fair number of its
best species, it can be had in flower
every month in the year.

The species of this popular genus
rank among our finest orchids. They
are general favorites, and there can be
little doubt that, as the mode of treat-
ment which they require becomes bet-
ter understood, they will be extensively
cultivated. In many of them the
pseudo-bulbs are singular and pleasing
in form, and the dark evergreen
foliage of the plants when in a Jiealthy
condition renders them peculiarly at-
tractive. The flowers are large, ele-
gant in form, and scarcely surpassed
in their brilliant richness and depth
of color, the most frequent tints of
which are violet, rose, crimson, white

and purple, with their intermediate
shades.

Treatment in Pots.

As soon as the flowering is over is
the best time for repotting cat-
tleyas, except a few, such as Cattleya
labiata, which is best deferred till
commencing to grow in the spring. I
have found cattleyas thrive best in
pots, and osmunda fiber the best ma-
terial for growing in, with the corm
or hard center of the fern chopped up
and used for drainage. This the roots
seem to prefer to crocks. The cause
of failure of many is wrong potting;
no plant should remain longer than
two or three years at most without re-
potting. Large plants should be
broken up, and all backj)ulbs and old
and dead roots cut away, so as to give
them a fresh start.

After repotting, watering must be
done with care. Cattleyas do not re-
quire a great deal of water at any
time. Too much water is apt to cause
the bulbs to rot. So long as the soil
remains moist, no wat^r 'is required.
The atmosphere should be kept moist
by damping the floors and the ground
under all benches at least once a day.
When the plants have made their
growth, they should be allowed to rest
and be kept dry, being given just suf-

ficent water to prevent their shrivel-
ling.

Ventilating and Shading.

As these plants grow upon the stems
and branches of forest trees or upon
rocks, they must necessarily be ex-
posed to all the breezes that blow. How
reprehensible, then, is the practice of
many growers of orchids of trying to
exclude air from their orchid houses!
For the well-being of orchids it should
be remembered that a free circulation
of air is absolutely necessary, as well
as an abundance of light, but cold
draughts and the burning effects of the
sun's rays must be avoided. It is not
essential for vhem to be fully exposed
to the blazing sun; indeed, the life of
the plants would soon be sucked out
of them if shading were not prepared.

There are so-called observers of na-
ture who blame the cultivator for many
of his acts, and he has perhaps suf-
fered more wrong at the hands of this
class of persons in the matter of shad-
ing than in any other. We are fre-
quently told that in a state of nature
such and such plants grow in most ex-
posed situations, situations open to
the full effects of a tropical sun, and
nothing can be more erroneous than
the manner in which we use "blinds"
for the purpose of keeping away the
bright light of that luminary. All I
can say in answer to the objectors is
that they totally lose sight of the fact
that our plants are growing under
glass, which has the power of rapidly
burning up the leaves and disfiguring
our plants for years if not for life.
I must add that all plant growers are
keenly alive to the advantage of
strong sunlight for their plants, but
that they are too practical to allow
more than is advantageous to them
under the artificial circumstances in
which they are placed. -

Keep Plants Clean.

Cattleyas require to be kept per-
fectly clean and free from all insects.
They are subject to white scale, which
should never be allowed to accumulate,
as it is then difficult to remove and
the plants are in danger of being in-
jured. In order to keep the plants
clean, they should be frequently looked
over and all signs of scale brushed off
with a small stiff brush, especially
around the base of the bulbs and the
axle of the leaves, where the scale
mostly accumulates.

Always aim to maintain an even
temperature, as too great a fluctuation
is bound to cause trouble. A tempera-
ture of 55 degrees by night and 60 to
65 degrees by day will be found a good
winter temperature, always admitting
air on favorable occasions.

Other Commercial Orchids.

Our next best commercial orchid is
undoubtedly the spray orchid, of
which first place must be given to
Phalaenopsis amabilis. This magnifi-
cent plant, which comes from Manila,
produces its graceful spikes of flowers
nearly all the year around. The flow-
ers are at least three inches across.
The sepals and petals are pure white,
and the lip is of the same color faint-
ly streaked with rose pink. They con-
tinue in perfection a long time, there-
fore making an ideal flower for com-
mercial and decorative purposes.

Phalaenopsis Schilleriana, which also
comes from Manila, has beautiful
variegated foliage. The flower spikes

■'•\^ ^ i'^-'^ev-f^^^^': 7.^

The Florists' Review

often reach a length of two or three
feet, and have' more branches than the
other kinds. The flowers are arranged
in two rows along the spike. The
sepals and petals are a beautiful light
mauve edged with whitfe; the lip is
of the same color, with darker spots;
the iiLside is handsomely spotted; in-
deed, the whole aspect of the plant is
most attractive. They are best grown
in baskets hung near the roof and kept
shaded, in a moist atmosphere. When
water is required, the plants should
be taken down and dipped, great care
being taken not to allow the water to
get into the heart of the plants.
Otherwise decay or spot is likely to
occur. A temperature of 60 to 65 de-
grees, or a little more, will do no
harm with sun heat, always giving a
little air when the weather permits it.
Oncidiums, with their useful sprays
of bronze and yellow; Vanda cacrulea,
with its various shades of blue, and
others too numerous to mention here
but which I hope to treat of at some
future date — not forgetting the
odontoglossum and cypripedium, with
its quaint and interesting flowers —
have all proved themselves our best
and most beautiful commercial or-
chids.

OBITUARY.

William H. Wcstcott.

William H. Westcott, a widely known
and highly respected florist of Philadel-
phia, died of heart failure at his home,
7043 Ridge avenue, Friday evening,
August 6. He was 72 years of age.
Mr. Westcott 's death was entirely un-
expected. He underwent an operation
a year ago, which, while successful, was
a severe st*in on his system. While
able to be about, he was not the same
as before. Mr. Westcott was out on
the day of his death and ate his sup-
per as usual. While seated in a chair
afterward he was heard to gasp. When
his family reached him he had expired.

William H. Westcott commenced
work when a lad as assistant to his
father, William Westcott, who was a
private gardener. With his brother,
John he opened a flower store in
Brooklyn. Later, when John Westcott
came to Philadelphia to enter the firm
of Pennock Bros., then on Twelfth
street; William H. Westcott established
himself as a grower at Twentieth and
Tioga streets, in the City of Brotherlv
Love. Mr. Westcott grew a general
line of stock, as was the custom in
those days. He remained at Twentieth
and Tioga streets for twenty years,
leaving there to rejoin his brother,
John, in the purchase of the Ferguson
place at Ridge and Lehigh avenues,
where they established themselves in
business as Westcott 's Laurel Hill
Nurseries. Here their business was
chiefly drawn from the great burial
ground opposite. The partnership was
maintained for about eighteen years
and a large and successful business was
conducted. William H. Westcott with-
drew five years ago. He bought prop-
erty farther out on Ridge avenue and
erected greenhouses, in which he grew
some wonderfully fine stock. Mr.
Westcott was an able grower. His
plants always looked well and his place
«Iean and neat.

Mr. Westcott is survived by a widow
and three children, Mrs. Edward Davis,
^1/s. Frank budell and William H.

^stcott, .Jr., who was associated with

his father in business. Mr. Westcott 's
funeral took place at his residence
Monday afternoon, August 9. It was
attended by members of the Florists'
Club and many friends. Phil.

Frank Tylner.

Frank Tylner, of 28 Second street.
South Orange, N. J., who for the last
four years had been employed by Will-
iam A. Mauda as foreman in the green-
houses in South Orange, committed sui-
cide by shooting himself in the head
at the New Varnum hotel, Washington,

D. C. He had married Miss Mary
Krupha, also of South Orange, nine
days before. It is not known what
took him to Washington. The body was
found by the hotel employees. Jii the
room was a letter addressed to the
bride. Upon finding the letter, the po-
lice ordered the body removed to the
morgue. Mrs. Tylner could give no
reason for her husband's act. The
body was ordered shipped to Hartley,
Del., the home of Mr. Tylner 's mother,
where the funeral services were held.
He was 34 years old. R. B. M.

ILLINOISANS TO MEET.

The executive committee of the

and it was. decided to also have a
meeting at Urbana. The executive
committee will welcome suggestions
from members.

WHAT IT COSTS.

One of the questions frequently asked
is "What does it cost to run a green-
house?" So these figures should be of
interest. They concern an loy^^ range
of 55,000 feet of glass, representing an
investment of $41,243. The sales for
the year ended August 1, 1915, were
$30,631.92 and the expenditures were
as follows:

Christmas goods $ 1,267.86

BIG CROPS MEAN BUSINESS.

Prosperous conditions for the flo-
rists, seedsmen and nurserymen of the
middle west are indicated by the Au-
gust government report, showing a
record-breaking yield of wheat, and
bumper crops of corn, oats, barley and
hay.

The total wheat crop indicated by
the government report issued August
9 is 3,000,000 bushels more than was
forecast in July; 966,000,000 bushels,
75,000,000 bushels more than the pre-
vious record crop.

While the harvest season has been
unfavorable for oats and the season
late for corn, the government figures
show a promise for a crop of 1,402,000,-
000 bushels of oats, within 16,000,000
bushels of the largest ever raised, and
of 2,918,000,000 bushels of com, which
would exceed the corn crop of last
year by 245,000,000 bushels.

Final figures for the year, when the
estimates are given a final revision,
may show easily 1,000,000,000 bushels
wheat and 1,500,000,000 bushels oats,
with around 3,000,000,000 bushels of
corn, or a grand total for the three
crops of around 5,500,000,000 bushels.

Despite the long period of unseason-
able rains, the country will have an
abundance of all grains to supply for-
eign needs throughout the coming year.
It is not expected prices will rule as
high as during the last twelve months,
but fair prices appear to be assured

the farmers in all sections and the re-
sult will be reflected in the good busi-
ness done by florists, seedsmen and
nui'serymen in the grain states, many
of whom found the last year the most
prosperous in their experience.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHEJI:

y

Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, August 11, 1915:

Special Notice — ^There is a tropical
disturbance over the southern Wind-
ward Island section and the weather ^
for the territory east of the Missis-
.sippi river for the coming week is
largely dependent upon the movement
of this disturbance. At present, indi-
cations are as follows:

For the Eegion of the Great Lakes —
Fair weather for several days. Un-
settled toward end of week, with show-
ers probable. Moderate temperature.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Fair weatner for four
or five days, probably followed by
showers August 16 to 18. Moderate
temperature.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
Showers, followed by fair weather for
several days, and again by showers
August 16 or 17; moderate tempera-
ture.

For the West Gulf States— Thunder
showers August 12 to 14, followed by
generally fair weather thereafter; sea-
sonable temperature.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

One year of European war has most
apparently not exercised the baneful
influence on the Chicago market antici-
pated by so many, for the conditions
prevailing during last week show a
marked improvement over those of the
one just preceding and compare quite
favorably with those of the same week
a year ago. For the midsummer sea-
son, the volume of business transacted
may well be termed satisfactory.

The supply of Beauties is percepti-
bly shorter, and, while there is little
demand for them generally, a much
greater quantity of superior quality
short-stemmed Beauties could be used
than find a way to the market. If
the demand for Beauties does not suffer
a regeneration, they will some day be
a rarity on the market, as one grower
after another, finding them unprofit-
able property, throws them out. Eoses
are in sufficiently short supply to be
clearing well. Most of the receipts
are of the shorter stock, but the qual-
ity is fairly good considering the time'
of year. Eussell still holds the lead
and continues in many instances to
usurp the place once held by Beauties.
One reason advanced for this is that
it is a better keeper. Killarney Bril-
liant, too, is enjoying quite a brisk
demand, while White Killarney and
Double White Killarney are moved
with no difficulty. Prices, of course,
are relatively higher.

The most pronounced feature of the
market, however, is the glut of gladi-
oli. The regular shippers are more
than able to supply the demand, but
in addition to their contributions, the
market is flooded with those of a host
of people who, having a vacant lot or

The Florists' Review

August 12, 1915;

80 to spare, thought growing gladioli
a nice way to make some pin money.
As a result, the most successful ef-
forts of the wholesalers to move them
fail to make much of an impression on
the daily receipts. Unfortunately, it
is not an easy thing to dispose of
them by job-lot at this season of the
year.

Asters are abundant, though little
enough can be said of quality in gen-
eral. Midseason asters are beginning
to arrive in the market, and the re-
ceipts would seem to promise an im-
provement in quality and size of flower
as well as length of stem. The de-
mand, though, is not nearly equal to
the supply, and with the quantity aug-
mented by large daily receipts, it may
be a problem to move them at all. It
is reported, however, that large quan-
tities of asters are rotting in the field
as a result of the wet, season. This,
if quite general, will naturally have
a bearing on the market.

Daisies, with many growers, are
practically done for, while coreopsis,
delphiniums and gypsophilas, though
in the market, have ceased to cut much
of a figure. Valley is scarce enough
to clear well. Easter lilies are not in
large supply, but it is just as well,
for a few go a long, long way. Car-
nations are so few in number and so
poor in quality that they are not to be
considered. Cattleyas have not as yet
experienced Jhe usual August call, but
are the scarcest item on the market.
Greens are clearing fairly well, with
the exception of smilax.

Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Chicago Florists'
Club, August 5, was not particularly
well attended. The fact that this is
the season when many are taking their
summer outing may account for this in
part, but there is also evident a lack
of interest in club doings on the part
of a large percentage of the trade.

The report of the picnic committee
showed that in spite of adverse cir-
cumstances and small attendance the
club IS a few dollars ahead. The com-
mittee is to be congratulated on this
showing. Guy W. French, chairman
of the transportation committee, was
pleased to report that to date twenty-
five reservations have been made for
the florists' special, which leaves the
Northwestern depot at 10 p. m., Thurs-
day, August 12. Those making reser-
vations are:

and John Young, New York city. By
previous action of the club these are
now honorary members of the Chicago
Florists' Club.

President Keimel stated he had re-
ceived a communication urging the
club to participate in the Eastland re-
lief work. The secretary, Guy French,
was instructed to make answer to the
effect that by individual donations and
the contribution of flowers, together
with the benefit sale of August 4, the
trade had acted well its part and ren-
dered any action in the matter by
the club unnecessary.

The only exhibit was a large vase
of excellent delphinium of named hy-
brids, staged by Vaughan's Green-
houses, Western Springs,

Florists Swell Ea^stland Fund.

Representatives of the retail flo-
rists, wholesalers and growers of Chi-
cago and vicinity added to the East-
land relief fund the sum of $305.27,
the proceeds of the unique flower sale
August 4 at 217 South State street.
All that day an unbroken stream of
men, women and children filed past the
tables of potted plants and cut flow-
ers; salesmen furnished by the various
wholesale and retail houses operated in
relays. The committee in charge of
aflfairs was composed of J, L. Raske,
chairman; Eric Johnson, treasurer;
Cornelia Ryan, secretary; W. P. Kyle
and Andrew Chronis.

The sale of flowers in the audience

of the Green Mill gardens the same
night added nearly $175 to the relief
fund.

needed repairs. They are also planting
carnations. Some of the newly planted
roses are now producing; so it looks as
if the season's supply would not be
interrupted. The field-grown carnation
plants in this vicinity never looked bet-
ter. With plenty of rain and good
growing weather, the plants developed
vigorously and there should be no scar-
city of these. However, it is good pol-
icy to buy and plant early.

Parade and Picnic.

The public markets of Pittsburgh
gave their annual picnic August 4. All
the florists who lease stands were rep-
resented in the automobile parade. The
firms with the most lavishly decorated
vehicles were represented in line as

the Blind Floral Co.

A special prize was awarded to the
North Side Market Association, in rec-
ognition of the float which that organ-
ization prepared, showing a replica of
the North Side Market. George Hal-
lam was the decorator.

Edward Ludwig captured a prize
against a large field in the 100-yard
dash at the picnic.

Various Notes.

E. E. Schaefer, manager of the Ad-
vance Floral Co., Dayton, O,, was a
recent caller.

Randolph & McClements executed a
most costly funeral order last week,
making up three floral blankets, in

which over 5,000 Killarney roses were
used.

G. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, O.,
has sold his greenhouses, comprising
about 50,000 square feet of glass, to
E. E. McCausland. Mr. Huscroft will
hereafter devote his entire attention to
his retail store, at 173 North Fourth
street, Steubenville, while Mr. McCaus-
land will continue to operate these
greenhouses, producing cut flowers for
the wholesale market.

The MarKet.

Weather conditions have been unfa-
vorable for the little business we ex-
pect at this time of the year. It has
been so hot and dry that everyone who
could do so has gone to one of the
summer resorts near the city. There has
been little funeral work. There is a
scarcity of flowers of all kinds. Even
the summer roses are off crop. Peas
are gone, valley is all but unknown,
and carnations are not yet in. Asters
and gladioli are the principal flowers
on sale. •

I have made thorough inspection of
the growers' places and have never
seen things in better condition. The
houses have been overhauled and there
is little disease or inferior stock.

On the private grounds of the -city,
bedding plants are suffering. The at-
mosphere is so dry that surface" water-
ing is of no real benefit. Despite its
record for withstanding heat and
drought, salvia is succumbing. Cannas
are standing the heat better and are
looking well.

There is said to be an unusually
heavy demand for the Skinner and
the Hearst irrigation systems. The
more elaborate private gardens are in-
stalling watering systems, and the gar-
deners assert that they get better re-
sults and cut expenses in substituting
them for hose.

Lilies are in bloom in the open, and
I have seen better speciosums grown
outdoors than indoors. The same is
true of giganteum. Would it not pay
the florist to grow lilies in the field
for summer use?

Various Notes.

L. H. and 0. Geny spent part of last
week at Hornsprings. Oscar Geny is
slowly improving in health and is able
to look after business part of the time.

Floyd Bralliar, of the Hillcrest
School Farm, is spending a week of
rest at Graysville, Tenn.

The new window of the Joy Floral
Co. is a great attraction. There is al-
waj's a crowd watching the water
wheel of the old mill and the alligators
in the pond.

There will be a considerable quantity
of bean seed grown here this season.
Many of the gardeners are saving their
crops for seed, for prices are too low
for green beans. Stringless Green Pod
and Kentucky "Wonder are the only
varieties that ara^^grurwn in any quan-
tity. F. B.

Not a Competitor of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery

Jnuirist

WHEN the telephone began cuttii^
into the business of the teli^
graph, they introduced night
letters of 50 words for the cost of 10 daf
words.

Arid what happened? The telephchSe
was not used any less, but the telegrei)h
was used more.

There are some people who want to do
what they do quickly. The snap and go
of life is for them. The F. T. D. suitis
their needs exactly.

There are others who never use the
telegraph unless very urgent; but they
use letters freely. To these people the
National Florist strongly appeals.

It is also apparent that one will help
the other, because both will help people
to form the habit of ordering floral gifis
for distant points.

The Market.

The oaly encojiraging feature of the
market is the smaller supply of stock.
This makes business seeni a little bet-
ter, although it is extremely dull.
Boses have shortened in number. Beal-
ly good stock is often quite scarce.
White roses of any grade are not sufS-
cient for the demand. Asters are much
more plentiful, but not good ones; the
constant rains do more barm to the
Semples asters than tO the early vari-
eties. Many of the Semples arrive in
poor condition, either brown-tipped or
open-centered, so that it is diflficult at
times to select enough good flowera for
the orders. Gladioli have been selling
a little better, mainly because there
are less of them. The quality leaves
nothing to be desired. Carnations are
about over. Dahlias have come, but do
not sell. Easter lilies are in fair de-
mand, while cattleyas and valley are
sought at times. The difficulty of find-
ing an outlet for poor flowers is great.

Current Events.

Widespread interest will be shown
in the incorporation of the florists'
supply business that has been conduct-
ed for the last fourteen years by
Joseph G. Neidinger. The business was
incorporated July 30, under the laws
of this state. The three incorporators
are Joseph G. Neidinger, president;
George 8. Hampton, treasurer, and Jack
r. Neidinger, secretary.

The business was started in a small
way by Joseph G. Neidinger, who had
served his apprenticeship in a leading
florists' supply house of this city, Octo-
ber 19, 1901, at 1226 Poplar street.
Mr. Neidinger had original ideas that
he intended to develop as his business
grew. One of these ideas was that
the florists' supply future depended on
furnishing the finished product rather
than raw material. With this object
in view he aimed to give his customers

what they needed, ready for imme-
diate use. When he started, his force
consisted of one boy and three girls.
Three years later Mr. Neidinger moved
to larger quarters at 1438 North Tenth
street. So successful were his efforts
that the business outgrew these larger
quarters and in 1907 a whole building
was secured, where the business was
carried on for six years. Finding that
his ideas were appreciated, Mr. Neid-
inger invited George S. Hampton to
join him for the purpose of introducing
these ideas to the florists of the coun-
try. This worked well. With the add-
ed help of Jack F. Neidinger and an
increasing line of supplies, "The House

of Merit" specialties became known
and were used all over the country. It
took room to manufacture these spe-
cialties, so two years ago Mr. Neidinger
again moved, this time to a splendid
modern building at 1309 and 1311
North Second street, where he has
every facility for conducting his busi-
ness. Today the force consists of
twelve men, ten boys and thirty girls,
convincing proof of the popularity of
the ideas put into shape by the Joseph
G. Neidinger Co.

The Market.

There has been enough funeral work
to keep many of the local florists fairly
busy. Without that, trade would be ex-
tremely quiet. There is not a large vari-
ety of flowers. Asters and gladioli are
the most plentiful and of these there are
a great number of colors, making it pos-
sible to have pretty displays of these
flowers alone, interspersed with ferns
or other potted plants. Carnations are
hardly seen in the market now, and
the few that are occasionally seen are
of poor quality. Sweet peas have be-
gun to die out. Indoor roses arrive in
tairly good quantities,, but they do not

keep long after being removed from
the icebox. Dahlias are a little more
plentiful. Cosmos is still scarce, espe-
cially in the better varieties.

The weather has not been propitious
for either growers or retailers. Exces-
sively hot weather is followed by ex-
ceedingly cool weather for summer, and
hardly two days pass without a hard
rain, some of the rains having been the
worst known in this section for years.
This abundant rainfall, of course, has
been an aid in growing some flowers,
but has made it hard to keep the ground
cultivated as much as usual.

Club Outing.

On the morning of August 4, the
date set for the annual outing of the
Essex County Florists' Club, the rain
was pouring down in sheets. Not for
years has there been such a downpour.
It was manifestly impossible to go on
the outing. But arrangements had all
been made and a stock of provisions
for a big, hungry crowd had been laid
in by the genial chef at Gillette, about
fifteen or twenty miles out from New-
ark. So the next day, the weather be-
ing propitious, the undaunted host of
Essex county florists, with their wives
and children, sisters and sweethearts,
reinforced by about twenty-five of the
wholesalers from Xew York city, left
Lincoln park, Newark, in three busses,
nine touring cars and twelve automo-
biles. Tiicre were more than 125 in the
party.

Notwithstanding the heavy rain of
the day V)efore, the paved roads were
in fair condition and all the members
of the party enjoyed the auto ride to
Gillette. At noon an appetizing clam-
bake dinner was served.

In the afternoon a program of ath-
letic events was run off. The proposed
shoe race, sack race and running hroail
jump were omitted, on account of tlie
softness of the ground. One of the
features of the afternoon 's sport was
a baseball game between the mairied
and single men, which the married men
won by a score of 10 to 0. The chil-
dren's race was won by Miss Elizabeth
Pfeifcr. Tlie women's race was won
by Mrs. R. J. Irwin, of New York city.
In the tug of war, one of the teams
was captained by Richard Yuill, chair-
man of the outing committee; the chair-
man of the other team was .lames .1.
McLaughlin, secretary of the commit-
tee. Mr. McLaughlin's team won.
Ernest Hausmann won first place in

WITH LONG SPAN TO SOUTH.

Will it be practical to build a green-
house forty feet wide with the roof fac-
ing entirely to the south? My present
house runs north and south and does
not get as much sunlight as seems to
be necessary. One reason for this is
that it is shaded somewhat by my
dwelling house, which is on the east
side, so that the sun must rise above
the dwelling before reaching the green-
house; then the sun's rays are reflected
at an angle. I wish to enlarge the
greenhouse on the present site; hence
the inquiry.

If I build a 3-foot wall on the south
side, with fourteen inches or more of
glass, what should be the height of the
north wall? I expect to use raised
benches and should not object to enough
height on the north side to permit hav-
ing a potting room under the north
benches, with space enough to allow a
wagon to be backed underneath if nec-
essary. Would such a long span cause
trouble with snow? We get lots of
snow here, with temperatures some-
times 20 degrees below zero.

What construction of bar and what
size of glass would you use? The night
temperature desired is about 45 or 50
degrees. The house would be about
40x50 feet. I have a boiler rated at
200; would another one of the same
size, coupled up alongside, give me 45
degrees at night? Geraniums and bulb-
ous plants are the principal stock
grown. What arrangement of benches
and how many posts would you use?

J. O. S.— N. Y.

While I prefer a width of not to ex-
ceed twenty-eight feet for a small
house, there, is no particular objection
to one that is 40x50 feet. The use of
one long slope to the south, as sug-
gested, answers well for a side-hill
house, but although the plan of having
a potting shed under the north bench
might be used to advantage so far as
the space is concerned, there would be
some inconvenience in handling the soil
and caring for the beds.

The use of a three-quarter-span house
is suggested. The south wall should
be about six feet high, with two to
three feet of glass. The ridge may be
about sixteen feet high and the north
wall eight feet. There would be less

PLANTS FOR VASES AND BOXES.

Will you kindly give me a list of
plants suitable for vases, hanging bas-
kets and porch boxes. I wish to begin
now to prepare plants for collections, to
be used in this way next spring. Would
agaves in variety be of much use? It
seems difficult to provide color for the
baskets. C. S. M.-N. Y.

Some plants which are well adapted
for the purposes named are: Begonia
gracilis and La Vesuve, scarlet; Abu-
tilon megapotamicum, Savitzii, Dar-
winii tessellatum and vexillarium;
Swainsona galegifolia alba and rosea;
thunbergias, tradescantias, Vinca ma-
jor variegata, tall nasturtiums, Cobaea
scandens, Maurandia Barclaiana, Eng-
lish ivy; geraniums, all varieties, the
ivy-leaved section being best for hang-
ing baskets; Asparagus Sprengeri, Ficus
repens, Senecio scandens, or German
ivy; petunias, Lobelia speciosa, Ian-
tanas, heliotropes; fuchsias, where they
get a little shade; variegated stevias,
glechomas, etc.

In addition, such palms as Latania
Borbonica, Phoenix rupicola and Canari-
ensis, Dracaena australis, agaves, Neph-
rolepis Bostoniensis, etc., may be used
in the larger vases. You can get
plenty of variegation from variegated
vincas, abutilons, tradescantias and
stevias, Crotons may be used if you
are partial to colored-leaved plants,
but personally I prefer green-leaved
subjects. I am also decidedly of the
opinion that the best effect is obtained
by planting one variety, or at most
two varieties, in a vase. You will find
plenty of hanging basket material in
the foregoing list. C. W.

This department for the cards of
I<eading Retail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
^lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
mahy years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let,
your customers know you]
can perform this service |
for them. To receive youri
share — well, The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — ^now
— before you forget it?

The Market.

Last week was surely a wet one; it
rained nearly all the time. Vacation-
ists could be heard complaining at every
turn, and the week was a bad one all
around, with the exception of business.
While sales could be better and prices
might be considerably higher, the
week, as a whole, was satisfactory.
Business has kept up wonderfully well
this year, and although it is the middle
of the so-called dull season, the orders
keep on coming and florists are kept
fairly busy. Much building has been
started this summer, and this fact tends
to show that the trade is not suffering
so much as some would have us believe.

Eoses are quite scarce, the dark,
cloudy weather having held back the
crop to a great extent. The market is
cleaned up each morning, and it is
necessary to cut some orders so as
to make the supply sufficient. Carna-
tions are being thrown out, just as fast
as it can be accomplished, and the sup-
ply in consequence is small. From indi-
cations it seems that there will be a
short interval between the last of the
old stock and the first cut from the
new plants. Last year the cut contin-
ued right through, and for a time it
seemed that this year would be a repeti-
tion of last year in that respect. Asters
are arriving quite heavily, and the qual-
ity is good so far. They are not
moving so rapidly as they might, and
are not bringing high prices by any
means. Gladioli are plentiful and are

Club Meeting.

The Milwaukee Florists' Club met
Thursday, August 5. Mr. Kamp, of the
TCamp-Spinti Floral Co., the latest ac-
quisition to the local organization, made
his debut at this meeting. The com-
mittee that had charge of the picnic
at Keipper's park, August 1, made a
detailed report, which was decidedly
satisfactory to the club.

There was a discussion on the annual
state fair, to be held here September
13 to 17. The club is fostering the ex-
hibition of a group, and each member
agreed to donate some particular thing
in his line, to make the exhibit the big-
gest Milwaukee has ever seen. Every-
one, is doing Ills utmost to make the
horticultural exhibit on the occasion a
huge success, as the advertising and
educational features are extensive.

C. B. Whitnall, an honorary member
of the club, gave a short talk, which
was highly interesting.

Various Notes.

W, Desmond, with the L. S. Donald-
son Co., Minneapolis, was a visitor
Tuesday, August 3. Mr. Desmond was
on his way home from Chicago.

P. L. McKee, of the J. C. Moninger

Co., Chicago, was in town August 4 for

a short time on business. Harry Bals-

ley, of Detroit, was also here last week.

The Market.
Last week was one of fog, wind,
rain and low temperatures. The maxi-
mum temperature was below 60 de-
grees on several successive daj^s, and
there was no sunshine until August 7.
Consequently outdoor flowers were
ruined in many cases, and all that ar-
rived were in poor condition. Indoor
flowers were not abundant and, had
there been any special demand, the
supply would have been quite inade-
quate, but business was light at the
retail stores, although flowers on the

whole fared a little better than dur-
ing the preceding week.

Boses are not at all plentiful and
the majori^ have short stems. Val-
ues continue to vary from 50 cents to
$8 per hundred. Double White Kil-
larney is scarce and in demand; so is
Kaiserin. Ophelia, Mock, Bussell and
Hadley are other favorites. There is
not much call for Beauties. Some sec-
ond-rate carnations still arrive, but
they are of no importance. Many
asters have been ruined by excessive
rains, and prices hold up fairly well.
Of gladioli there is an immense sup-
ply, with low prices.

There is an abundant crop of lilies,
especially of the various forms of speci-
osum and auratum. Valley is poor. Cat-
tleya blooms easily made $1, Odonto-
glossum crispum sold at 25 cents each.
Sweet peas are poor in quality, owing
to excessive moisture. The call for as-
paragus and adiantum is light.

Gladiolus and Phlox Exhibition.

After a fortnight of almost continual
rain, fog and wind, it was a pleasant
surprise to find Horticultural hall filled
with splendid exhibits August 7 and 8.
Annuals had been mostly destroyed by
the* continuous rain, but there were
splendid displays of perennial phlox,
gladioli, dahlias and herbaceous flow-
ers. For twelve varieties of hardy
phlox and for general display filling
thirty vases, the Blue HiU Nurseries
led in each case. Some of their more
noteworthy varieties were: Charles
Darwin, Victor Heurlin, Rynstrom,
Coquelicot, Mrs. Paul Dutrie, nana
coerulea and Eclaireur, and some good
seedlings.

For twelve named gladioli C. F. Fair-
banks was first, Raymond W. Swett,
second. For fifty spikes, C. F. Fair-
banks won. For 100 vases arranged
for effect, William Sim took first with
a noteworthy display of several thou-
sand spikes. Included were grand
vases of Eed Amaryllis, Mrs. Beecher,
Sulphur King, Baron Hulot, Niagara,
Gleam, Myrtle, Faust, Winsome, Con-

trast, Willie Wigman, Halley, Blue Jay,

gladioli, the Boston Cut Flower Co. won
with a beautiful basket of Myrtle.

Chamberlain & Co. had a fine collec-
tion of gladioli; specially good were
Halley, Sagamore, Prince of Wales,
Myrtle, Preniiere and Lily OLehmann.
C. F. Fairbanks had a large and most
artistically arranged display of gladioli,
covering several square feet of space,
awarded a silver medal and gratuity.
Clark W. Brown, Ashland, and E. W.
Swett, Saxonville, had other honorary
displays of gladioli in quantity.

The Jennison Gardens, of Natick, C.
H. Chamberlain, manager, secured a
first-class certificate for a new white
phlox, Leona. They also showed culti-
vated blueberries of immense size and
a fine new late strawberry. Farquhar
& Co., for an extensive collection of
phlox and herbaceous flowers, received
honorable mention. .T. K. Alexander
had a fine display of dahlias. .T. P.
Rooney received a bronze medal for
Dahlia Mrs. Frederick Grinell. • Mrs.
E. M. Gill had, as usual, a good gen-
eral display of flowers. George B.
Gill had some fine seedling dahlias.

George Melvin received a cultural
certificate for a fine plant of Epiden-
drum prismatocarpum, carrying twenty-
eight spikes and 158 flowers. George
Page, gardener to Mrs. Frederick Ayer,
had a collection of palms and ferns, and
Henry Stewart, gardener to Miss Cor-
nelia Warren, had annuals, herbaceous
flowers and fruit trees in tubs. The
Blue Hill Nurseries had one of the
most notable displays in a collection of
fourteen varieties of Calluna vulgaris,
or Scotch heather, which was. awarded
a first-class certificate. There was, as
usual, a fine show of fruits and vege-
tables, while the Boston Mycological
Society had a large display of fungi.

Various Notes.

The W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley,
is cutting a splendid lot of Lilium j
auratum and speciosum and longi- '
florum giganteum. They have an im
mense stock of Lorraine' and other be-
gonias, and cyclamens in splendid shape
for the holidays. They do not look
for any new azaleas tins season, but
have a fine lot carried over from last
winter.

Members of the Boston Flower Ex-
change, to the number of twelve, had
their annual fishing trip August 10, in
the boat of W. N. Greenwood, of East
Boston. They reported a good catch
and an unlimited amount of fun.

weather we have had since July 1, A.
H. Hews & Co. have dug and stqred
all the clay needed for the coming
season's supply. They have the most
modern machinery for digging, hauling
and dumping the clay in their large
storehouse, which measures 60x260.
T. J. Benwell, their genial and popu-
lar representative among the trade
growers, will round out half a century
of service with the house of Hews next
month.

W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, one
of our double-violet specialists, is
sending in quantities of extra fine as-
ters and sweet peas.

E. E. Cummings, of Woburn, says
that he has had 10,000 plants of single
violets under water, and the stock does
not look at all well. He grows cu-
cumbers largely under glass, and the
cold, wet, sunless weather has caused
blight to spread rapidly among them.

The Budlong Rose Co. is receiving
shipments of the new red rose, Francis
Scott Key. At present the flowers are
more pink than red in color, but cooler
weather will change this, Russell and
J. L. Mock are good. Double White
Killarney is scarce and eagerly snapped
up.

Julius Fagan and Miss OLyons, of
Penn's staff, left on their vacations
August 7. Henry Penn was impressed
with the planting at the San Francisco
and San Diego expositions, especially
at the latter city. At San Francisco
he experienced a good deal of fog.

Paul F. Brigham, of Westboro, says
that the excessive rains are responsi-
ble for the loss from stem-rot of over
5,000 of his field-grown carnations.
Other growers are also reporting a
large loss from the same cause.

Thomas Capers, of Wdllesley, has the
framework of his new Hitchings house
completed, and two or three more dry
days will see the glazing completed.

Martin Wax and wife are at Grand
Lake Stream, Me., for the month of
August. Samuel Wax is again at his
post.

Mrs. E. M. Gill, of Medford, had
been a member of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for fifty years

Morris Saunders, of the staff of Wax
Bros., was married last week to Miss
Ida Abrahams. The happy couple are
spending their honeymoon at Winthrop,
Mass.

Visitors last week included Walter
Kline, manager for Small & Sons, New
York, who was making a New England
tour vFith his wife; A. E. Earnshaw,
representing the Bon Arbor Chemical
Co., Peterson, N. J., and Mr. Dykes,
representing Edward Jansen, New
York.

At Thomas Galvin 's Park street store
one window is devoted to an aquatic
display. Gladioli, lilies, ferns and
palms are effectively used in the other
windows. A number of the staff are
away on their vacations.

Harry Quint states that business at
his Boylston street store is good. He
has good facilities for open-air dis-
plays and takes full advantage of
them. w. N. C.

The Market.

Buyers at the wholesale markets last
week showed little activity, and all as-
serted that business, outside of funeral
work, was at a standstill. Stock is
of excellent quality and in quantities
large enough to fill all orders. There
is always an abundance of stock left
after the morning sales, and most of
it finds its way to the waste pile. The
weather last week was cool, which had
a good effect on roses. The stock
shipped in was of splendid quality.
Roses are plentiful in all varieties, but
little fancy long stock is arriving.
Killameys constitute the bulk of the
supply. Field-grown carnations are

being received, and they keep longer
than greenhouse-grown stock. There is
a good demand for them. Asters are
in abundance; the light shades have
the call. . Gladioli are more plentiful
than they have been, and prices are
down to $6 and $8 per thousand. Amer-
ica sells well. Lilies and valley hold
up well at all times. Hydrangeas,
candytuft, dahlias, cornflowers and
daisies are among the outdoor flowers
that help crowd the market. Low
prices prevailed on all stock last week.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers ' Asso-
ciation held its regular monthly meet-
ing August 4. The attendance was
large and a great deal of important
business was transacted. It was de-
cided by vote to invite the heads of
the five wholesale houses to attend
the next meeting, September 1, and
discuss the matter of Sunday closing.
So far, all attempts to have the whole-
salers reconsider their plans and open
Sundays have failed. The association
hopes to convince them of their mis-
take in closing Sundays.

August Hummert, vice-president of
the St. Louis Seed Co., made a trip to
Waterloo, 111., August 8, to arrange
for tlie annual picnic of the employees
of his company. He has informed me
that arrangements have been made for
the last Sunday of this montli. Out-
side shipments have kept them busy.

D. Ferry Lomason, representative of
D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, was here
last week checking up unsold seeds for
his company.

F. ,T. Farney, of the M. Rice Co..
Philadelphia, is here with a fine lot of
novelties in florists' supplies, which
he has displayed at the Hotel Jeffer-
son.

Mr. ajid Mrs. W. C. Smith are spend-
ing a few weeks in the Ozarks. It
was their intention to make an auto-
mobile trip to Omaha, Neb., but the
bad roads, caused by the recent heavy
rains, occasioned a change of program
at the last moment.

Paula Poss, August 4, at St. Anthony 's
church. The couple left the same night
for a honeymoon trip to the Pacific
coast. Robert J. Windier, of Rogers
Park, Chicago, brother of the groom,
was present at the wedding and spent
Thursday, August 5, looking up old
acquaintances.

Frank A. Windier, secretary and
treasurer of the Windier Wholesale
Floral Co., and John S. Carter, head
of the Nicotine Mfg. Co., left for Chi-
cago August 11, from where they will
go to the S. A. F. convention at San
Francisco with the Chicago members.
They expect to be home September 1.

Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Kuehn, on ar-
riving at Milwaukee to spend a few
weeks' vacation, received a telegram
telling of the death of Joseph Bokern,
Mrs. Kuehn 's father, who died Au-
gust 2.

Otto Bruenig, brother-in-law of
Henry Berning, on the eve of his two
weeks' vacation, broke his right arm
while cranking .the delivery car. He
says the accident will extend his va-
cation a few weeks longer, but that
some of the anticipated pleasure wHl
have to be put-off.

The tract of land on the Olive street
road was not purchased by the C.
Young & Sons Co., as announced in
The Review for Julv 29, but by James
Young, president of the company. A
range of houses will be built by Mr.
Young, which will be independent of
the company of which he is head. His
son, Charles, will manage the place
when it is completed.

Paddy Patton is fast becoming an
expert trap-shooter (not crap-shooter).
Paddy says he will take on any of
the crack shots of the trade, and there
are a number who are handv with
guns. This bit of news mav result in
a challenge.

A. S. Cerny, of Kirkwood, is now
growing roses. He is the fourth of the
county growers to take up rose grow-
ing. Judging by his consignments to
the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.,
It looks as though he will have the
success the other growers have had.

As the time draws near for the an-
nual meeting of the S. A. F., at San
Francisco, we find only a small num-
ber from St. Louis who will attend.

The party includes C. C. Sanders,
Frank A, Windier, Joseph J. Windier
and John S. Carter. We hope our old
friend, Daniel MacRorie, will show
them the time of their lives.

George H. Angermueller says last
season was one of the best he has had
in florists' supplies, and he expects to
double his business the coming season
by more extensive advertising.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beyer have
returned home from a few days' trip
up the river. Mr. Beyer says he has
taken on extra weight since he has
ceased bowling, and that next fall and
winter will again find him a regular
weekly bowler as of old.

C. Young & Sons Co., in a circular
letter to the local trade, has offered
its entire stock of plants and hot-
bed sashes for sale. The place will
be cleared at once and the tract cut
into lots and sold.

David Geddis, manager of Vander-
voorts' floral department, has returned
from his vacation. The time was spent
vjsiting friends in the trade at Pitts-
burgh, New York and Philadelphia.
Mrs. Geddis and David, Jr., are still in
the east, where they will remain until
September 1.

President T. C. Wilson, of the Mis-
souri Horticultural Society, and H. C.
Irish, both of this city, say that ef-
forts are being made to hold the an-
nual meeting in November at St.
Louis. It is planned to organize a
state florists' association at this meet-
ing, which is favored by many florists
throughout the state. J. J, B.

The Market.

Business was good last week. The
funeral work was a great help. Out-
door stock is plentiful, such as asters,
gladioli, dahlias, daisies and stocks, but
there is not enough call to relieve the
oversupply. Roses are scarce but
enough to go around. New carnations
are expected soon, for some were
housed more than four weeks ago.

Various Notes.

Charles Frueh & Sons are adding sev-
eral houses to the Genesee avenue
range, which will more than double the
present capacity.

The Roethke Floral Co. is wrecking
its old house, which will be replaced by
one of modern construction. The Bay
City flower store was sold to Boeh-
ringer Bros., of Bay City, who took
possession August 1. A number of im-
provements have been started.

(Eat! 15
years.)

Grohman the Florist was the first to
house carnations. As they were pot-
grown, there is no hazard attached, and
consequently early flowers will be a
matter of only a week or two.

J. B. Qoetz Sons have just finished
a tremendous crop of indoor tomatoes.
The greenhouses are being treated with
gas, after which the old soil will be
removed and new soil brought in for
the carnations.

The hail storm of August 7 did no
damage in Saginaw or vicinity, al-
though hailstones of the size of nuts
fell. Fortunately, there were no green-
houses in the path of the storm. Bay
City had no hail, only a heavy rain.

The outing of the Saginaw-Bay City
Floricultural Society will take place at
Frankenmuth August 25. A special car
will leave Bay City at 7:30 a. m., and
Saginaw at 8 a. m. Dinner and supper
have been arranged for by the commit-
tee. Otto Boethke has promised good
weather for the day.

Martha Kurzhals and Helen Ott, with
B. Schroeter, Detroit, have returned
home after visiting friends and rela-
tives. Gee.

BBAMPTON, ONT.

Word has been received that the
greenhouses of T. A. Ivey & Son, of
Brantford, Ont , suffered heavily in the
hail storm August 8. Mr. Ivey esti-
mates that over 10,000 feet of glass was
broken, this being the most severe loss
that has ever been experienced in the
greenhouse business in Canada. The
same storm passed over Brampton, but
little hail fell. August 9 was the eighth
consecutive day on which heavy rain
has fallen and this summer is proving
the wettest on record. The damage to
vegetables and outdoor crops is far
more disastrous than in any previous
year.

Golden Glow mums are being cut in
small quantities this week, and indoor
asters and gladioli are proving a great
help during the scarcity of carnations.

John Dobbie, of Niagara Falls, called
on his way home from the London
convention last week and reports a suc-
cessful gathering.

Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dale left August
4 for an 'extended trip through Cali-
fornia, w. G. P.

TURNIP SEED

Seed Trade News

AMEBICAN SEED TBAOE ASSOCIATION.
President, John M. Lupton, Mattltack, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Keodel, Cleveland, O.

It looks as though carrots will be a
\ short item again this season.

Ealph M. Ward, of New York, is on
the Labrador coast on a fishing trip.

German seeds continue to show up,
small lots at a time, mostly via Holland
but also via Scandinavian shipping
points.

Onion sets are now being harvested
at Chicago. A year ago, August 8, they
were all in the barns. There is every
indication of a short crop.

Notice of the referee's sale of the
stock of the Johnson Seed Co., Philadel-
phia, to be held August 24, appears this
week under the head of Business Embar-
rassments.

There were 252 cases of bulbs, 66
cases of immortelles, 218 parcels of seeds
and 166 parcels of roots on the steamer
from Ollioules, PVance, that reached New
York last week.

Brussels sprouts and spinach are two
of the items that it will pay to give a
little more space in the 1916 books. The
consumption of these vegetables is in-
creasing steadily or even rapidly.

Seed growing in Denmark is assum-
ing large proportions. For instance, it
is stated that L. Daehnfeldt, Ltd., of
Odense, had this year over 10,000 acres
unaer seed crops, principally for expiort.

It has become the fashion to predict
crop shortages, here, there and every-
where. No doubt the life of the seeds-
man is becoming more complex every day,
but things seldom are so bad as they
seem — or sound.

Considerable quantities of flower
seeds, including cyclamen, pansy, aster,
antirrhinum, cineraria, mignonette, petu-
nia, stocks and many other items pro-
dtTced under glass and in the open, are
now being grown in Denmark, where
seedsmen see chances to cut into Ger-
many's trade.

The U. S. Civil Service Commission
will conduct an examination August 18
in various cities of the country to secure
a laboratory aid in seed testing in the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Washington. The
position pays $720 a year and is open
to men and women.

The English can stop exportation of
German goods via Rotterdam or Copen-
hagen in the case of articles of exclusive
German production, but such seeds as are
grown in Holland or Scandinavia as well
as in Germany present a more difficult
problem. Until the spies get the evi-
dence, more or less German stock is
pretty sure to get by the blockade.

S. F. Leonard, president of the Leon-
ard Seed Co., Chicago, and his wife re-
turned last week from a visit to the
Panama-Pacific exposition and a tour
of the Pacific coast country. As they re-
turned by way of the Canadian Pacific,
Mr. Leonard says he never saw so many
soldiers in hia whole life. He says the
California seed crops are looking well.
The onion and lettuce crops in particular
seem to be flourishing.

MORE HABBISn ABBIVE.

The second shipment of Harrisii
bulbs of the season reached New York
August 3 on the steamship Bermudian
from Bermuda. This shipment is but
a fraction of the number of cases re-
ceived July 26, the first consignment
of the year. The consignees of the lot
were:

DUTCH BULBS.

It is to be expected that, shipment
having started, every boat from Rot-
terdam will bring consignments of
Dutch bulbs. The first lot reached
New York August 4 and consisted of
only 221 cases. The second lot arrived
August 5, on the Ryndam, and was as
follows:

Although the first bulbs are a little
late in arriving and the first ship-
ments are not so heavy as last year,
there seems every reason to believe
there will be all the tulips, hyacinths
and narcissi this market can absorb.
Already the London auction houses
are offering bulbs, but it looks as
though the principal exporting houses,
through their association, mean to do
what they can to prevent the demorali-
zation of the market in America, hav-
ing apparently learned their lesson
last vear.

CRIMSON CLOVER SEED SUPPLY.

There is apparently a larger supply
of crimson clover seed on hand at the
present time than in any previous year,
much of which is of poor quality, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
While this would indicate that the
price should be normal or less than
normal, it is rapidly advancing.

The greater part of the crimson
clover seed sown in the United States
is normally imported from France and
Austria. In the fall of 1914 conditions

of trade with Europe were such that
there appeared to be danger of a short
supply of seed for this summer's plant-
ing. The desire of the seed trade to
secure as much seed as possible, to-
gether with the improvement in trade
facilities with France during the win-
ter and spring, resulted in the impor-
tation of 12,000,000 pounds during the
year ending June 30, 1915, as com-
pared with 7,500,000 pounds the year
previous and 1,500,000 pounds in 1910.
The quantities of crimson clover seed
imported into the United States in the
last few years have been as follows:

Fiscal vpar. Ponnils.

1910 l..j.)2.000

1911 3,529,000

1912 3,406,00(1

1913 5,376,000

1914 7,524,000

1915 12,036,000

During May and June much seed of
poor quality was imported, more than
1,000,000 pounds, made up of several
lots, germinating from twenty-nine per
cent to sixty-two per ceut. Crimson
clover seed of a bright, greenish yel-
low color usually germinates well, while
a brownish color indicates poor ger-
mination.

The Florists* Review

August 12, 1015.

Vegetable Forcing

WORMS IN TOMATO SOIL.

I am a grower of tomatoes under
glass and have had considerable trouble
with my plants this spring. They seem
to be growing nicely and have four or
five clusters of flowers, when the leaves
suddenly turn yellow about the middle
of the plants, causing the plants to be-
come stunted. In some houses five per
cent are affected; in others, less. The
soil around the plants contains little
worms close to the plants and in the
fine roots. Under separate cover I am
sending a sample of the soil containing
the worms, of which there are two
kinds. Would lime water destroy this
pest? I shall appreciate early advice.

I. O.— Wash.

The sample of soil with worms did
not come to hand. All soil pests can
be destroyed without any injury being
done to your plants. I would advise
the use of carbon bisulphide. This
comes in pound cans and the cost aver-
ages 25 cents at retail. Bore holes a
foot apart each way in your soil, using
a pointed stick. Pour a scant teaspoon-
ful of the carbon into each hole, imme-
diately filling it up. The carbon forms
a gas which will kill all worms and
larvae in the soil, without harming your
plants. As it is explosive in its nature,
avoid the use of any naked lights while
applying it. It is most effective when
the soil is quite damp. I would sug-
gest the desirability of sterilizing your
soil before planting another season. If
you cannot use steam, use the afore-
mentioned carbon. C. W.

MUSHBOOMS IN GREENHOUSE.

I have three feet of space under the
heating pipes between my sweet pea
houses that is too much' shaded for
growing most things. Would mush-
rooms grow there, and, if so, how should
I prepare the soil and space? I have
no benches. W. W. M. — Colo.

Mushrooms can be grown in a green-
house, cellar or shed. They prefer a
winter temperature of 55 to 60 degrees.
The beds should not be placed near
lieating pipes or boilers, or the sur-
face soil will dry out too much. Much
of their successful culture depends on
having a fairly even temperature, one
which is moist rather than dry and not
exposed to strong light. If you think
you have these conditions in some
measure, you might try mushroom cul-
ture.

Secure fresh horse manure and shake
out the long straw. Throw the manure
into a heap and turn it each day to
allow the rank heat to escape and pre-
vent burning. Add one-fourth as much
loam from a pasture as you have
manure and mix it through the ma-
nure. This prevents excessive heating.
After the strong heat has gone, make
up the bed, lay a layer over the space
to be planted and tramp or pound as
hard as possible. Add more manure
and continue to firm it well until it is
nine inches thick. Plunge a thermom-
eter in the bed. The temperature in
the bed may run up to 100 or even 115
degrees. Spawn it on the decline, at
S5 to 90 degrees.

Burpee's Winter-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas, Originated

at Fordhook Farms and Grown at Floradale Farm.

Absolutely fixed— true to color and type.

We began hybridizing the original Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas, namely, Burpee's
Earliest of AH (Christmas Pink), Burpee's Earliest White, Burpee's Earliest Sunbeams and
Burpee's Re-selected Earliest of All, with the finest varieties of the summer-flowering Spen-
cers, at our FORDHOOK FARMS in 1909. It is, however, quite a slow process to thoroughly
"true" and "fix" these seedlings, and it being against the principles of our business to put any
novelty on the market in an unfixed condition, we are oflFering only two varieties at present.
The stocks of these we know to be absolutely fixed, true to color and type. After our
crops are harvested we may be in a position, to offer, in a limited way, several other winter-
flowering novelties, particulars of which will be found in Burpee's Annual for 1916.

FORDHflOK PINK ^^^^ ^^ ^^^ result of a cross made at our Fordhook Farms in 1909.
1 VHI/UUUn llim -j^j^g color is a beautiful shade of rose-pink on white ground; the
coloring deepening towards the edge of the standard and wings. The flowers are of largest
size, exquisitely waved and usually produced in threes and fours on long stems. Unsur-
passed for cut flower trade. Awarded Certificate of Merit at the Spring Show of the
PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, Philadelphia, March 23, 1915.

In sealed packets containing twelve seeds each. Per Pkt. 25 cents; % oz. $1.35; % oz.
$2.25 ; per oz. $4.00.

FORDHOOK ROSF ^ '^^ result of a cross made at our Fordhook Farms in 1910. This

of largest size and usually borne in threes and fours on long stiff stems. Awarded Certificate
of Merit at the INTERNATIONAL SHOW, New York, March 20, 1914, and at the Spring
Show of the PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, Philadelphia, March 23
1915.

Y A R R AWA

We were awarded Certificates of Merit for this superb novelty
at the International Flower Show in New York, March, 1914.
and at the Spring Show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
. Society, Philadelphia, March, 1915.

YARRAWA is an easy and good "doer," invariably giving an
excellent account of itself, whether grown in pots, boxes.
raised benches or solid beds.

YARRAWA has the heavy foliage and rank, strong growth of
the summer-flowering type and is a true winter-blooming
Spencer. From seed sown early in October at Fordhook
Farms, the plants came into bloom December 20th and flow-
ered profusely until May. The flowers are exquisitely waved
and when well grown will average two and one-half inches in
diameter, many of them being duplex or double flov/ered. thus
adding greatly to the general eflfect of the bunch. They are
borne usually in fours on extra long, strong stems. The color
is a most pleasing shade of bright rose-pink, with light wings.
As the supply of seed will be limited, we advise ordering
early.

Floradale-grown seed exclusively— % oz., $1.00; per oz., $3 50;
per X lb., $12.50: 1 lb., $45.00.

of an ordinary walnut. Plant the pieces
a foot apart each way over the bed,
covering them to a depth of two inches.
In eight days give the bed a covering
of two inches of loam; then cover with
hay or straw and leave until mush-
rooms appear, which may be in five or
six weeks, but is sometimes longer. On
one occasion I waited seventeen weeks
and had a grand crop, so you must not
be of too nervous a temperament. When
watering is necessary, heat the water to
a temperature of 100 degrees. The less
watering needed the better. The ma-
nure when made up into beds should
be fairly moist. It should squeeze to-
gether without water oozing from it.
Dry manure is valueless.

Mushrooms succeed best during the
winter months. Better not spawn be-
fore the middle or epd of September.
Close in your beds with boards and
burlap, to exclude air and light. You
will find mushroom culture interesting,
if less profitable than some magazine
writers have depicted it. C. W.

WORRY

r--:

L

G. S. RAM8BURG,

There possibly have been no tradesmen so severely affected as have florists
been by abnormal weather conditions this season. Incessant rain and tog have
played havoc with plants and blooms both indoors and out, and much stock has
spoiled by damping and rotting.

Don't worry if you have lost your stock of snapdragon cuttings. You are
better off. You are just in time to get seedlings started, and seedling plants,
especially of our Silver Pink, are so far superior to cuttings as to make cuttings
a waste of time and space, especially where you would most likely have stunted,
hard-wooded stock.

Seedlings start readily, grow so rapidly, and bloom so freely that they are
an absolute pleasure frcfax start to finish, to say nothing about the gre4t profit by
a long flowering season. Seeds sown in August will make fine, stocky plants to
follow 'mums.

New stock seed of my original Silver Pink at $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00.
Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, White. Buxton and mixed, at 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

Splendid Beedllns plants ready as follows: Silver Pink, $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per
1000. Garnet and White same price. Nelrose and Yellow, $5.00 per 100.

Remember, we grow snapdragon. Our stock is perfect. Free cultural directions.
All orders positively cash or C. 0. D,

offering it at less than the price of
cutting and shipping, especially roses
of- the Killarney type.

Club Meeting.
Tlio regular meeting of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club was held August
9, President Hamilton occupying the
chair. The cool evening .brought out
a fair attendance. I. H. Moss spoke on
the recent trip to the western Mary-
land fruit belt, and moved that a vote
of thanks be tendered the Washington
County Fruit Growers' Association for
tlie enjoyable trip. The resolution was
adopted. The outing committee,
through Chairman F. C. Bauer, report-
ed everything in readiness for the an-
nual outing, to be lield August 18 at
Miller's park. The shore will be open
all day. Games will start promptly at
2 p. m. The grounds can be reached
by the Bay Shore line to Dundalk,
where a short line will c«nvey passen-
gers to the grounds. The Kiver View
cars connect with the short line at the
park terminal. Tickets will be 50 cents
for each member attending, but no
charge for members' families.

Various Notes.

A heavy rain storm, accompanied by
high winds, passed over the city on
the night of August 3 and played havoc
with outdoor crops, especially dahlias
and asters. In some instances these
were flattened down to the ground as
if a herd of cattle had roamed over
them. At the farms of R. Vincent, Jr.,
& Sons Co., White Marsh, some parts
of the dahlia fields -were flooded and
many of the plants were washed out
entirely; others were practically
drowned.

At !Mrs. Buettner's Store, at Third
and Fleet streets, a plate glass win-
dow was blown in by the storm.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mason an-
nounce the marriage of their daughter,
Elizabeth, to .T. Ward Perry at the
home of the bride's parents, August 4.
They will be at home to their friends
at Park lane and Harford terrace after
August 10.

Stevenson Bros, have planted a good
batch of Ophelia and Mrs. Chas. Rus-
sell and are cutting some good summer
blooms.

The only attendants from this city
at the S. A. F. convention will be Mr.
and Mrs. R. Vincent, Jr., who left

New Early Comet Aster at Herbert & Fleishauer's, McMinnville, Ore.

i this year July 13, several weeks earlier
than any other large-flowering variety.

' The flowers are of comet type, with
long, curled petals. It has been pro-

and in lavender and purple. This firm
originated the Oregon Monarch, H. &

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The last week has been a most dis-
appointing one to shippers and re-
tailers alike. The transient trade has
been practically nothing, and the usual
run of funeral work failed to material-
ize. Many of the Arizona and Nevada
towns to which stock is shipped from
here are practically deserted, the popu-
lation having removed to the beach
towns, and orders have for this reason
been cut in two or canceled entirely.
At home the asters, carnations, cen-
taureas and other summer staples have
piled up day after day, and the only
glut of the season so far has occurred.
Vacations are the order of the day,
many well known faces being missing
temporarily.

Various Notes.

While the usual shipments of sum-
mer stock from the L. A. Floral Co.
have been light, F. Sperry reports a
much larger demand than usual for
lilies of the valley, orchids and other
choice stock.

feast at the Shrine auditorium re-
cently.

W. Wern, manager of Wright's
Flower Shop, has returned from his
automobile trip looking and feeling far
better for it.

The Freeman-Lewis Co. reports busi-
ness good. Richard Grover leaves this

week for a two weeks' vacation, and
Mr. Freeman is looking forward to a
hunting trip shortly.

Morris Goldenson leaves this week
for a visit to San Francisco.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. con-
tinues busy in the landscape depart-
ment, several important contracts be-
ing signed up and pending. This firm
has the planting of the roof garden, at
the new Broadway department store.
Mr. Meyberg has returned from a short
trip and M. IL. Germain leaves for a
month's vacation this week.

H. W. Turner has been working hard
getting the new houses finished before
going to the convention at San Fran-
cisco. The new roses being tried out
this season are an interesting lot.

R. S. Woodruff, of Eugene, Ore., has
been visiting here and is likely to pro-
long his stay.

Howard & Smith report business
good in cut flowers at the store.

At the August meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society,
held at Kruckeberg's hall August 3,
P. D. Barnhart descanted upon the
"Trials of a Gardener" to a large
audience. Unfortunately, Mr. Barnhart
spoke more of his own trials than in a
general sense, and for this reason was
not perhaps as convincing as he usually
is. Other speakers followed in a
lighter vein, and the general view of
the society seemed to be that an em-
ployer who paid the piper ought to call
the tune. Jacob Dieterich is down on
the program for next month to tell us
what an S. A. F. convention looks like.
We look for something a little above
the average September 7.

Fred Hills and Mrs. Hills are driv-
ing to the convention from Los An-
geles. They left August 9.

Paul Staiger says he has never had
a better business at this season than
this year, the change to the West

SAN FBANCISCO.

The Market.

The market has been devoid of ex-
citement during the last week, but
business continues good. The schools
will open shortly, and that should help
counter trade a little. The better
known shops continue to get many or-
ders for conventions and exposition
affairs. Sweet peas are scarce, and
such as appear are of poor quality;
-they will soon be out of the market.
Carnations also are increasingly scarce,
as the old plants are being pulled up,
and there is considerable demand, not-
withstanding the larger supplies of
asters. The latter are good and find
a ready market.

Some varieties of outdoor summer
stock that have been so plentiful are
playing out, but in general there is
still an abundance. Coreopsis, gail-
lardias, gypsophilas, nice mignonette and
fine, large scabiosas can be had in any
quantity at reasonable prices. Gladioli
still hold up fairly well. Just now
there is a large cut of Mrs. Francis
King, Panama and Niagara, better than
the usual average in quality. The
weather has been too warm for dahlias,
which average a trifle small, but some
fine stock is coming from north of the
bay, and common varieties are plenti-
ful. The big German gathering here
has caused a boom in cornflowers.

Mums are much better and more
plentiful, but it will be some time be-
fore there will be enough for shipping.
In addition to Monrovia, a few Golden
Glow are seen, and a few blossoms of
October Frost have been brought in,
but not enough to sell. Lilies are still
much in evidence; this week cold stor-
age giganteums have been added to the
offerings. Good roses are scarce, and
all offerings clean up readily. There
is a good cut of Ophelia, but little
of other varieties. A good many
nice amaryllis blooms are offered. A
few more orchids are appearing, but
they are still scarce. Gardenias are
in good demand, with supplies fair in
both quantity and quality. There is
little interest in potted stock. Some fine
cockscomb, including odd varieties, is
seen, and there are a few primulas, but
they are not much in demand.

Various Notes.
The E. W. MdLellan Co. has moved
into its new store, at 451 Bush street,
but it will take some time to put the
place in its final shape, as many im-
provements are to be made, in keeping
with a general enlargement of the scope
of the company's business. The store
is finely lighted from both front and
rear, and contains more space than
will be needed for the company's own

Auoust 12, 191S.

good cut of cold storage Lilium gi-
ganteum from its own houses is coming
in. They are receiving a fine cut of
Ophelia roses, and expect to have a
good crop of Russell and Hadley be-
fore long.

Walter Hofinghoff, of the MacRorie-
McLaren Co., is on his vacation, and
is taking the opportunity to see the ex-
position at San Diego.

J. Charles McCullough, president of
the J. C. McChillough Seed Co.. Cin-
cinnati, is visiting San Francisco this
week.

B. M. Joseph's flower shop is doing
some conspicuous advertising, fre-
quently using a corner of the front page
of one of the leading morning papers
for an announcement such as the fol-
lowing: "Place a welcoming package
from Joseph 's in your guests ' room. ' '

Alex. Mann says the exposition has
not helped to overcome the usual mid-
summer dullness out in the Richmond
district. He says he feels no more
direct effect from the fair than if he
were in some outside town.

The United Flower & Supply Co. has
installed a large new icebox in
preparation for the chrysanthemum
season, and has everything in readiness
to begin shipments as soon as the cut
is sufficient. S. H. G.

FOBTIiAND, OBE.

The Market.

Trade has been better than usual
for the first week of August. The
presence of a great many tourists,
brought to the coast by the San Fran-
cisco fair and the many national con-
ventions being held in the large coast
cities, has increased the demand for
flowers. Local social affairs, except
those held in honor of visitors, have
been few. The call for funeral work
has been good, using up the surplus
stock and preventing great waste.

Gladioli, asters, auratum and ru-
brum lilies, roses, carnations, sweet
peas and an assortment of blooms
from outdoor plants are the flowers
used. Some dahlias are shown, but
they have not yet become a prominent
feature of the window displays. The
reports of business for July, now that
figures are available, are even more
encouraging than expected.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the Portland
Floral Society will be held August 17
in the Masonic Temple, at 8 o'clock.

Otto Reuble is operating the Keil
range of greenhouses, at Woodmere.
He has benched the carnations and
put in more Sprengeri. He has about
3,000 cyclamens, in 2i^-inch and 4-inch
pots. He has picked the last of sev-
eral benches of tomatoes, which he re-
tailed at the public market. Mr.
Reuble grows mums, asters, ferns and
an assortment of pot plants.

Henry Penn, of Boston, accompanied
by Mrs. Penn and a party of friends,
recently called on some of the Port-
land florists.

Andrew Walden was found hard at
work finishing the benches of the
house he has added to the range
bought from Jay Gould last spring.
The house was partly filled with car-
nations and mums, and the other
benches were ready for soil. Mr.
Walden 's houses were well filled with
general stock, suitable for the retail
trade. He does most of his own work.

but finds time to experiment with new
varieties of mums. He said he -had
found business better than he ex-
pected.

Often the better halves of growers
are not given credit for their efforts,
but not so with H. T. Fleishauer. He
writes from McMinnvilJe: "From
the start, Mrs. Fleishauer has kept
close, watch of the growing end of
the business, and, being fond of flow-
ers, she has given all her time to the
study and direction of the work on
the asters during the entire season.
She is largely responsible for the un-
usually fine quality of stock pro-
duced."

(Leo Wiedemann, who is operating a
range of greenhouses near Lakewood
station of the Oregon City car line, in-
tends to carry over one house of car-
nations. He says it pays to have
carnations ready to cut every day of
the year. He grows two houses of
Cecile Brunner roses.

S. G. Lubliner, who has a flower
store in the Portland hotel building,
says the tourist trade is good. Mrs.
Lubliner is at the beach and Mr.
Lubliner goes down for weekends.

A call at the plant of the Woodmere
Floral Co., of which E. L. Scott is
manager, found E. W. Slaughter in

charge for several months, left last
week for Canada with the intention of
enlisting in one of the English regi-
ments. The range presented a greatly
improved appearance. The outdoor
space has been laid off in plats and
beds, with neat graveled walks. While

The Florists' Review

7S

the Woodmere Floral Co. does not
cater to the retail trade, it does not
consider it a wasted effort to have
the beds of stock plants arranged in a
pleasing manner. One house is filled
with palms and other foliage plants.
Several benches of carnations have
been set, and some bedding stock and
perennials are grown, but the specialty
is ferns. Boosevelt, Whitmani, Scottii,
Amerpohlii, Teddy, Jr., and a variety
of table ferns are grown extensively
and find ready sale. Some experi-
mental work has been done, and sev-
eral new varieties of ferns are in
process of development.

Max Smith recently showed a large
basket of salpiglossis in a variety of
colors.

The Tonseth Floral Co. had some
blooms of the scarlet dahlia, Minnie
Burgle, on display. This is an attrac-
tive flower and is said to be a good
keeper.

Mr. Koch, of the Peoples Floral
Shop, said there was still some de-
mand for bedding stock. S. W. W.

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

There has been no unusual demand
for flowers during the last week, but
trade seems to be holding up remark-
ably well for these months. All the
large downtown stores report an un-
usually big business for the month of
July.

Carnations and roses are about equal
to the demand. Outdoor stock is in its
prime, and is moved at a small but
profitable price. The demand for ferns
and potted stock is just commencing.

Club Meeting.

The Seattle Florists' Club met Tues-
day, August 3. A report from the en-
tertainment committee of the S. A. F.
stated that members were not coming
as a body by way of Seattle, making
it impossible for us to entertain them,
as first planned. Mr. Sullivan, of the
Hollywood Gardens, extended an invi-
tation to all florists and their friends
to take a trip to the Hollywood farm
on a date to be set later, which was
accepted unanimously by the club.

Felix Bosaia suggested that we
should have an information bureau -for
obtaining and disposing of surplus
flowers. This would be a convenient
thing for the stores as well as the
growers, and a committee was ap-
pointed to look into the matter.

Various Notes.

The Orpheum Floral Co., Felix Eo-
saia manager, at Third and Madison,
had a grand opening July 31. A splen-
did decoration of gladioli and various
flowers and palms made the store a
most attractive place.

The Burns Floral Co. reports favor-
able business, due principally to the
many funerals.

J. Jacobsen, of the Latona Floral
Co., has recently taken H. Lindberg as
a partner into the business. They are
devoting their greenhouses to carna-
tions, poinsettias, chrysanthemums and
various pot plants.

A. E. Buxton, of Brighton Beach,
had a birthday Sunday, August 1,
which was celebrated by some of his
florist friends.

Miss Riley, bookkeeper for the Holly-
wood Gardens, has returned from a
week's vacation. Ed. Peterson, of the

TEXANS HOLD SUMMER MEETINa.

The Texas State Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation held its midsummer meeting at
College Station August 4 and 5, dur-
ing farmers' week, when the conven-
tions of several state agricultural and
allied organizations drew a large at-
tendance to the home of the state agri-
cultural college and experiment sta-
tion.

W. B. Munson, of Denison, president
of the association, occupied the chair
at the sessions. Prof. H. Ness, of the
experiment station, made the opening
address. F. B. Paddock, assistant state
entomologist, spoke in place of Prof.
Wilmon Newell, on "Some Common
Insect Pests of the Hackberry and
Their Control." Other papers on the
program were:

"The Pecan," by Herman Locke, New Brann-
fels.

"Breeding the Tree to Points," by Charles L.
Edwards, of Dallas.

"Relation of the Orchard and Nnrsery Inspec-
tion to the Nurserymen of Texas and the Policies
of the Present Administration," by Prof. Edward
Ayres, of the state nursery inspection depart-
ment.

"Lessons to Be Learned from Our Past Sea-
son's Trade," by J. R. Mayhew, of Waxahachle.

At the banquet August 3, at which
nurserymen, florists and horticultur-
ists of other kinds gathered, John S.
Kerr, of Sherman, acted as toastmas-
ter. Murray Eamsey, of Austin, dis-
cussed the benefits of a botanical gar-
den to the nurserymen of the state.
"Our Wealth of Native Southwestern
Trees" was the subject of Will B.
Munson. Short talks were given by
Eltweed Pomeroy, of Donna, and E. W.
Kirkpatrick, of Sherman.

"A Bird in the Hand"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangea in America is worth several Azaleas
in Belcfium right now. Of course, the Azaleas may get out of Belgium; we don't
know; conditions may change; certainly it is not possible to get anything out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't.
Are you going to take that chance? Can you aiford to depend altogether on imported
forcing stock, when there is plenty of good forcing stock right here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $26.00 the 100.
" 6 and 6 " at 20.00 the 100.

"4 "at 15.00 the 100.

French Novelties, all the best ones, at $5.00 the 100 addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom. They
will grow into money for you, and sou can cash 'em next Easter.

There w^on't be any sur-
plus of blooming^ plants next
Spring. Stick a pin in that. We want
every progressive flori»t to get in
■touch with us. .: ' '-■.

NO QUARANTINE OF CHESTNUT.

Following a public hearing on the
subject, the federal horticultural board
has determined not to quarantine chest-
nut nursery stock for the purpose of
preventing the distribution of the chest-

nounced that the disease spreads slow-

for several years for the distribution
of this disease in small quantities to
areas where extensive new plantings of
chestnut are being made, Eecommen-

The Florists' Review

August 12, 1915.

DENVER, COLO.

The Market.

The market last week was quiet.
The supply of stock continues to be too
heavy for market requirements, and
the oversupply, combined with the
small amount of business, has served to
bring prices down to a low point. Sev-
eral stores are retailing carnations at
25 cents per dozen, and roses at 35
cents and 50 cents. Gladioli dominate
the market. Some fine dahlias are ar-
riving. All other outdoor flowers are
plentiful, but there is not much sale
for them. Snapdragons are good.
Sweet peas are good and arriving in
large quantities. The shipping busi-
ness holds up well.

Various Notes.

Frederick Jacobson, formerly with
the Denver Wholesale Florists' Co., has
opened a store at 813 Fifteenth street.

Miss Webb, of the Park Floral Co.,
is taking a month's vacation.

Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Kerr, of Houston,
Tex., and T. A. Gettys, proprietor of
the Alameda Greenhouses, Boswell,
N. M., were recent visitors.

John Berry, of Denver, and C. N.
Fohn, of Colorado Springs, are on their
way to the convention at San Fran-
cisco. They will visit Los Angeles,
Spokane, Seattle, Portland and other
coast towns before returning home.

In presenting this fern to the trade, we feel confident that it will make a place

The John Wanamaker fern is a wonderful advance over all plain or wavy frond
varieties. The side pinnae of the fronds are very fully undulated, Kiving
the plants a very wavy appearance. It will make as many fronds as
Teddy, Jr., plants in 4-inch pots baring over sixty fronds. It is a beauti-
fully formed plant, full and compact.

^[T NO winter-flowering plant of recent introduction has
^^ given better satisfaction for the Holiday trade, to
the florist and customer alike, than this beautiful begonia
when properly grown; it lasts in bloom in the residence
for a long time, and gives satisfaction.

We have this season a fine lot of young, thrifty
plants to offer (the best we ever had), strong plants
from 2X-inch pots ready for 4-inch, at $18.00
per 100, $150.00 per 1000 ; extra heavy plants
in 4-inch pots ready for 6-inch, at $40.00 per
100.

The Florists' Review

August 12, 1915.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The demand for stock varies greatly.
One day it is brisk; the next day it
is slow. The supply is large enough
to take care easily of present needs.
The prices do not show any substan-
tial advance over those of a fortnight
ago.

Asters are plentiful. The season for
early ones is about over and the first
of the later ones are arriving. The
choice blooms are limited in quantity
and sell readily. The poorer grades
move slowly. Gladioli continue to
come in strongly, but are not quite as
good as they were. Eoses have de-
creased somewhat in supply, but are
still plentiful. Lilies are excellent and
may be had in good quantities. Other
offerings include snapdragons, fine
rubrum lilies, pond lilies and dahlias.

Vaxlous Notes.

Competition among the florists ex-
hibiting at the Carthage fair this week
is keen. The exhibitors are Ben
George, Henry Schwarz and Fred
Backmeier.

C. E. Critchell has a hedge of bud-
dleias now in full bloom at his home
in Eose Hill. The spikes of flowers are
long and fragrant and are attracting
considerable attention.

P. J. Olinger is spending a fortnight
m Evanston, Aurora and Chicago, 111.

Gus Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling Co.,
Chicago, was in this city recently, vis-
iting his mother.

(L. Davis, of P. J. Olinger 's place,
has returned from Memphis, Tenn.,
where he went to visit his daughter.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been handling some excellent ru-
brum lilies.

Among recent visitors were Henry
Lodder, of Hamilton, O., and Joseph
Hill, of Eichmond, Ind. C. H. H

Cincinnati, O.— In a mysterious $250,-
000 land deal, in which over 300 acres
between Madisonville and the Little
Miami river have been purchased by
real estate brokers, J. F. Fahrenkamp
received $24,000 for about forty acres.

Evanston, Wyo.— The business of
Louis B. Westholder is assuming large
proportions. He has two main stores
and eight branch atores^long the Union
Pacific route through Wyoming, and
contemplates the addition of a branch
store at Cheyenne and another at
Laramie.

Port Huron, Mich.— The greenhouses
of Matthias Ullenbruch were badly
flooded during the heavy storm of
August 3. The largest house was
inundated to a depth of four feet, and
fields containing 10,000 asters and 15,-
000 carnations were flooded. The dam-
age was estimated at $500.

Detroit, Mich.— The Miller Floral
Co. was victimized August 2 by an
operator of the worthless check scheme.
In the afternoon they received a tele-
phone order for a $4 bouquet, the
speaker saying he would call later for
the flowers. Two hours later, a man
about 38 years old called and took the
flowers, tendering a check for $22.50.
He was given the bouquet and $5 in
change, and told to return later for
the remainder. But he never came
back. The check was found to be
worthless.

The beginning of the week was dull
and stock plentiful, but at the close
several large funerals cleaned up the
market, especially on good roses.

Carnation planting, which has been
delayed by the wet weather, is going
ahead again, and the benches are
nearly filled.

Local asters, so far, are of poor
quality, while carnations are prac-
tically off the market. Rubrum lilies
and gladioli are displayed in quantity.

Various Notes.

Henrj' Smith was busy Saturday,
August 7, getting out a large blanket
of sweet peas.

Alfred Hannah & Sons' window last
week showed a fine collection of as-
sorted gladioli.

Arthur F. Crabb was busy August 7
with a large funeral order, for the
funeral of a prominent citizen of
Greenville, Mich.

None of the local florists are going
to attend the S. A. F. convention this
year. A. F. C.

NEWPORT, R. I.

Recent visitors were J. K. M. L.
Farquhar, P. Welch and William J.

Carl Jurgens is cutting some fine
American Beauties that find ready

Charles Funk, driver for Wadley &
Smythe, was rewarded $50 a few days
ago for returning a bag containing
valuables lost by an automobilist.

Theodore A. Havemeyer, chairman
of the executive committee of the
American Gladiolus Society, which
holds its annual exhibition in this city
August 18 and 19, has completed the
details for a large exhibition.

John Finn, for a long time employed
as gardener to Robert Goelet, died at
his home, 7 Carey street, early Wednes-
day morning, August 4. He was a
son of the late Thomas and Margaret
Finn and was born in County Cork,
Ireland. He leaves a widow and four
children, two brothers and a sister.

Tlie Market.

Early in the week business sho-wed
an improvement, owing to the large
quantity of funeral work. The recent
rains and wind storms have been
partly to blame for the particularly
quiet time since then. The market is
well stocked and in some flowers there
is a glut. However, this week's heavy
rain storms have slackened up outdoor
stoek considerably, thus giving green-
house flowers a chance to be cleared.
There have been large shipments of
Sunburst, Ophelia, Mrs. Ward, Mary-
land, Hadlev and Milady, all of which
have sold fairly well, considering the
time of year. The red varieties have
hung fire and the same can be said of
carnations, which are much smaller
and poorer in quality. Sweet peas are
fairly plentiful, but a scarcity of pink
varieties is noticed. A large quantity
of lavender is on the market. Easter
lilies are slackening up a little. Valley
is scarce, but there is no particular call
for it. There is a deluge of asters in
all colors, but they move pretty well.
Gladioli are plentiful and sell readily.
Candytuft, phlox, mignonette and
coreopsis are plentiful and are being
used to good advantage in basket work.

Various Notes.

Miss Carrie Huitweiller, of J. B.
Keller Sons, is enjoying a well earned
vacation in the Adirondacks.

Harry E. Bates was in Buffalo last
week on a business trip. Arthur Elder
is also attending to business in Geneva,
Elmira, Utica and Binghamton.

Among the recent visitors to our city
were E. H. Bishop, of D. M. Ferry &
Co., Detroit, Mich., and H. F. Maharg,
of the Wick Narrow Fabric Co., Phila-
delphia, Pa.

In a recent wind storm in Ironde-
quoit, N. Y., three large apple trees
belonging to C. W. Curtis were blown
down, causing the loss of a large quan-
tity of fruit.

Milton Selinka, of Schloss Bros,,
New York, was in town last week and
was successful in landing several good
orders.

The Bochester Floral Co. is showing
a large assortment of sizes of hardy
hydrangeas in front of the store.
Business with this firm is improving.

We are glad to say that Mrs. E. P.
Wilson is getting along nicely. The
broken bone in her arm is mending
sattafactorily, as was skewn by an Z-
ray examination.

Mention The Review when yog writ*.

With the summer here and a scarcity
of plants, most of the florists are mak-
ing window displays of ferns and palma.
SiSter Bros, have placed small yellow
colons around the edge of the window
in a peculiarly effective way. Geo. T.
Boucher's window is unique in its ar-
rangement. On the banks of a tiny
riv^et lie a fallen tree and a stump.
Beside these are large clusters of water
msheB and growing ferns.

Harry E. Bates, chairman of the pic-

nic committee, states that the florists'
picnic will take place August 19, at
Salmon's grove. There will be refresh-
ments, sports and games, and a good
time is proMsed. A good attendance
is expected.

Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., New
York, was in town last week, showing
an elegant display of new fall samples
of chiffons. He reports business good.

The Vick & Hill Co. is shipping in
a good quantity of annuals. Business

conditions make the sales somewhat
slow, though the quality is fine.

Max the Florist, on Lyell avenue, is
doing a fair amount of business in that
part of the city.

H. E. Wilson had an exceedingly
busy day with funeral work on Satur-
day, thereby making a good clearance
for the week. H. J. H.

The Florists' Review

Adoust 12, 1915.

PEOVIDENPE, R. I.

The Maxket.

After the wettest July on record, Au-
gust started in with downpours that
have beaten down, damaged and de-
stroy;!^ all kinds o£. growing stock.
Several growers report fields of asters
ruined, with losses mounting into the
hundreds. Hundreds of acres of corn,
beans and other ci^o^s have been de-
stroyed.

Business has been far below the nor-
mal, even for this dull seison - of the
year. Funeral orders are -the .only ac-
tivities that give the retailers -«^y ex-
cuse for keeping open 8h<)p. Gladioli
-this year " are 'one bl ' "the leaders,
vying with asters in demand. The
•wonderful development of gladiolus
spikes during the last two or three
seasons has won a large public appre-
ciation.

, Various Notes.

A new flower store, to be known' as
The Strand, is opening at 89 Wash-
ington street.

Max Viller, of Johnston Bros., has
been spending a few days' vacation
at Block island.

W. W. Thompson, of West Hartford,
Conn., with his family, is spending Au-
gust at the seashore near Westerly,
E. I.

Edward O'Brien and family are
spending a three weeks' vacation with
relatives in Maine.

The Carmichael Orchards, at Shan-
nock, are cutting large numbers of
fine gladioli, which they are shipping
to the Boston and New York markets.
They have had several large decora-
tions at Narragansett Pier and Watch
Hill recently.

The greenhouses of the E. A. Buxton
estate at Pascoag were sold at auc-
tion August 4 to Edward F. Lovejoy,
for $1,000.

Patrick Reynolds, landscape gar-
dener, has just completed a fine piece
of work at the estate of Mrs. Trow-
bridge, at Franklin.

William E. Chappell, secretary of
the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of
Ehode Island, has returned from his
southern trip much improved in health.

Greenhouse Heating.

SuBSCEiBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

PIPING A PROPAGATING HOUSE.

Please let me know how much hot
■water piping will be needed for a side
house, 7x52, on the north side of a car-
nation house. We intend to use it for
a propagating house. V. B. W. — la.

To heat the propagating house to 60
degrees, use a 2-inch flow pipe and two
J%-inch returns, unless considerable
bottom heat is desired, in which case
an additional return should be put in.
The flow pipe should be on the back
wall and the others under the benches
on the other side.

SCEANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business last week was quiet. Carna-
tions are about done for. Sweet peas
are in abundance. We are receiving
a few asters, but they are small and
short of stem because of cold weather
and heavy rains. Gladioli and roses
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Jolin P. Brown was busy last week
filling funeral orders, but reports gen-
eral business quiet. James Cusick, of
this firm, is spending his vacation at
Falls, Pa.

€. W. Baldwin, who ia spending the
summer at Camp Wyo-Wanna, White
Ferry, Pa., on the Susquehanna, says
that fishing on the river has started
again, after high water, and he is look-
ing forward to good catches.

Business at B. E. & J. T. Cokely's
has been such that J. T. Cokely started
on his annual New York state trip
August 10.

Victor Burschell, who for many years
was in the florists* business here, has
been selected by the Democratic com-
mittee as chairman of the next city and
county election.

KIRKWOOD, MO., May ZZ, 1915.

Kroeschell Bros. Co.,
Chicago, 111.

Gentlemen: -

Now that the firing season is over,
and after a long, cold winter, the
coldest night being 6° below zero, I
want to say I am well pleased with the
No. 46 WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER and the
No. 14 hot water boiler; they are doing
all you claim for them and more.

The No. 14 hot water boiler heating
that large house to 62° with the great-
est ease in zero weather without the
help of the stesun boiler.

THIS STEAM BOILER I THINK IS A
WONDER, a quick steamer and holds the
steaim, the easiest boiler in the world
to clean and to keep clean. The double
steajn trap system is working fine,
keeping all the steam lines well drained.

But the threaded boiler tube piping
system is the winner; the rapid circu-
lation ajcid even temperature obtained
from this system is wonderful.

After being told repeatedly by other
growers that roses could not be grown
with hot water heat, we are getting the
best kind of results not only from the
heating systems and boilers, but also
from the roses.

Yours very truly.

" ' " ' Is this the kind of boiler you have? |

If so, you are getting the best possible service. E

If not, it will pay you to consider the following facts: E

WmS HOT WATER BOILERS I

are built to fill the requirements of the florist having 3000 sq. ft. or less of E

glass. Constructed, of the best quality steel, strongly riveted and calked, =

with no cast-iron sections, they will give the most perfect service possible. =

With a magazine holding enough coal for twelve hours or longer they E

keep an even and continuous fire for that length of time, requiring little E

or no attention. S

For the man who does his own firing they are ideal, permitting him E

to enjoy a full night's rest without worry as to the condition of his fire. E

Our Cataloe^ue contains useful information and tells all about our ^

heaters, showing their economy, and giving a plan for heating a model E

greenhouse. Send for it. E

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The storm of Tuesday, August 3,
seems to have done but little damage in
and around Washington except to the
aster crop, although reports from
places farther south tell of the de-
struction of large quantities of out-
door stock. Washington could well do
without more than fifty per cent of
the asters now coming into the market.
This condition even exists with carna-
tions so poor that no one wants them
and dahlias scarce by reason of the ex-
treme heat.

Prior to last week it had been al-
most impossible to move orchids, gar-
denias, valley and the better grades of
American Beauty roses, but funerals
have created a demand for these which
it was found extremely difficult to
meet. Valley sold well, and several
large orders were telegraphed to north-
ern producers. Good white roses have
been in demand, but there are thou-
sands of inferior quality and in colors
that cannot be disposed of at any price.
The growers are beginning to cut the
new crop, and much of the stock is
with such short stems as to be abso-
lutely worthless. Enormous quantities
of gladioli find their way into the mar-

^®*- Vaxious Notes.

The most important event of the
week, calling for exceptionally large
quantities of high-grade flowers, was
the funeral of the late William P.
Boardraan. There were more than fifty
high-class designs furnished by the
local florists. J. H. Small & Sons fur-
nished more than, half, and had charge
of the flowers both at the house and
the cemetery. William F. Gude, as
vice-president of the Emergency hos-
pital and successor of Mr. Boardman
to the presidency, was one of the hon-
orary pallbearers.

Among those scheduled to attend the
convention of the S. A. F. are the fol-
lowing Washingtonians: Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Gude and their two chil-
dren, Amelia and Louis Gude; Theo-
dore Diedrich, and Mr. and Mrs. Chris-
tian Schellhorn. Adolph Gude, Jr., is
already in California and will join the
party on its arrival.

Frank Good, manager of the F
street store of F. H. Kramer, had an
unpleasant experience during the storm
of August 3, when he and a friend were
driven almost to Colonial Beach in a
30-foot cabin launch. Just before the
storm broke, a piece of rope became
tangled in the propeller, and later
when the 40-mile wind hit them, the
steering gear jammed and the chain
broke. They spent the greater part of
the night drifting along, and next day
were towed back to Washington.

James Dalgleish, with J. H. Small &
Sons, accompanied by Mrs. Dalgleish
and their daughter, is spending a
month's vacation in Arlington, Vt.

WHAT THRIP JUICE No. 2 WILL DO

CHBYSANTHEMUMS ON LONG ISLAND.

Mr. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y. Woodside, L. I., N. Y., Oct. 20, 1913.

Dear Sir: I find your Thrlp Juice No. 2 a good thing to use on Chrysanthe-
mums. Kindly send bill for the last gallon shipped, and oblige.

Yours respectfully. (Signed) VICTOR S. DORVAL SONS.

THBIPS ON CARNATIONS.

Ed. American Florist:

Please advise how to remedy the trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed
under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. F.

The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two
or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the
worst enemies that Carnation growers have to deal with, and the only way to
fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly
with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from
the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi-
gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THSIP JUICE No. 2,
applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause
the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to
harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON.

THBIP JUICE NO. 2 ON EOSES.

Hopeland Estate, Staatsburg, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1913.
Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y,

Dear Sirs: I have used your THBIP JUICE No. 2 on outdoor Roses, also
Roses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it

is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips. Very truly yours,

(Signed) CHAS. HARMAN, Supt.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914.

Col. Wm. Sharp, for more than twenty -five years grower for Samuel Murray,
says: "I have found THRIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on
Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms.

While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than
Nicotine and far more effective.

Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal-
lons as before." W. M.

Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 191.5.

Schmidt &; Botley Co. endorse THBIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly.
They believe in prevention, and took steps at once to destroy it.

Oustav Schneider says he uses THBIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a
preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one
time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them
around.

Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914.
Robert Lockerbie, many years with the Robt. Craig Co., and now grower for
the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all ms^es of Insecticides and is
now using THBIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations.
The dilution of one to forty is proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten
days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never fails to kill the insect and the slight
discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. W. M.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The market is flooded with gladioli,
asters and lilies. Some of the stock is
extra choice, but the greater part of
it is only of ordinary grade. Valley is
scarce, and pink and white Japanese
lilies are- sufficient for the demand.
Carnations have almost passed. Roses
are good for this season. The colors
are good and the stems are of medium
length. Many of the roses are from
new stock and free from mildew.

Various Notes.

A visit to the place of C. Knuth dis-
closed the usual spick-and-span order.
His place, fronting on E'uelid avenue,
is seen by thousands of commuters of
the suburban car line. Mr. Knuth
grows geraniums, mums and Boston
ferns.

The nomination of officers at the
August meeting of the Cleveland Flo-
rists' Club resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, Herbert Bate; first vice-president,
Albert Lindgren; second vice-president,
Claude C. Tyler; secretary, Frank A.
Friedley, and treasurer, George W.
Smith. There being no opposition for
any of the offices, the nomination
amounts to an election, the formalities
of which will be gone through with at
the regular meeting September 13.

Snapdragons in the fields are almost
a total loss this year. Rust is the
enemy, which has completely devasted
some fields, and only a few have been
fortunate enough to escape. Last year
rust appeared in only a few places, but
this year it is general. Reports from
every section of the city tell of ruined
snapdragons.

Visitors last week were Walter E.
Cook, of Stumpp & Walter Co., New
York, on his way to the coast, and Ben
Feldner, of the Roseville Pottery Co.,
Zanesville, O.

Harry B. Jones, of the .Tones-Russell
Co., has returned from a quiet week
spent at Girard, Pa.

Timothy Smith, of Smith & Fetters
Co., with his wife and family, has gone
to Portage lakes for a two weeks ' vaca-
tion.

H. P. Knoble, Herbert Bate and
Frank Friedley made a flying trip to
Buffalo last week. They saw Post-
master William F. Kasting, and S. A.
Anderson, who is first a fisherman and
second a florist. F, A. F.

Herbert Bate, chairman, has notified
the executive committee that the fol-
lowing men have accepted the appoint-
ment to serve as judges for the Cleve-
land flower show, November 10 to 14:
J, F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111.; Emil
Buettner, Park Ridge, 111.; Michael
Bloy, Detroit, Mich,; Eugene Daille-
douze, Brooklyn, N, Y,; John H, Dun-
lop, Toronto, Canada; Wm, Nicholson,
Framingham, Mass, The final premium
list is in process of last revision and
is expected to be ready for mailing
early in September.

Prairie du Chlen, Wis.— C. C. Case is
building a greenhouse and expects to
embark in the florists' business shortly.

Eben Junction, Mich.— H, B. Elliott
has been experimenting with gladioli
and finds they can be grown here to
perfection. So he plans to make a spe-
cialty of them in addition to his nursery
business.

MANCHESTER, BfASS.

Nortb Shore Exhibition.

The exhibition held August 4 and 5,
uhder the auspices of the North Shore
Horticultural Society, on the Winthrop
estate, was a great success in number
of exhibits and quality of flowers, al-
though crowds were prevented from
attending because of the drenching
rain, which continued throughout the
greater part of both days.

There were many amateur exhibitors,
and the displays made by gardeners on
local estates showed the artistic abil-
ity of the exhibitors. There was keen
competition for the society's silver
medal for the best dinner table decora-
tion, which was won by the president,
Mrs. W. Scott Fitz.

Among the notable exhibits by pro-
fessionals was the large exhibit of
dahlias by J. K. Alexander, East
Bridgewater, Mass., which won the so-
ciety's first prize for the largest and
best exhibit. B. Hammond Tracy, of
Wenham, Mass., made an artistic dis-
play of gladioli, winning the silver
m^dal. Non - competitive exhibits
worthy of special mention were the
display of phlox by the Cherry Hill
Nurseries, West Newbury, Mass., the
exhibit of phlox and hardy perennials
by E. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston,
Mass., and the display of gladioli by
J. K. Alexander, East Bridgewater,
Mass.

A good deal of the credit for the
success of the show, so far as good
exhibits are concerned, is due the secrc:
tary, Thomas A. D. Howden,^ Prides

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

For the fall exhibition of the Amer-
ican Koso Society, to be held in Cleve-

prizes have been oflEered:

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., for the
best fifty blooms of Hadley roses, $25.

Vangban's Seed Store, New York and Chicago,
silver medal.

W. Atlee Bnrpee & Co., Philadelphia, |10.

Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Bill, Pa., for fifty
KilUmey Brilliant, |25.

These prizes are specials, in addition

to those of the regular list, and in all

probability there will be a number

more added. There is much interest

arising in this exhibition, and there

are two prizes to be offered for the best

unnamed rose that will be placed upon

exhibition.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The weather for the last two weeks
was unsettled and a great deal of rain
felL There -were <a ^few hot days.
Business is good for midsummer, and
there is considerable funeral work.
Gladioli are the principal flowers anji
great quantities of all colors are being
received. The prices range low. As-
ters are plentiful and of excellent
quality. Carnations are small and pale
in color. All kinds of roses, with the
exception of Eussell and Key, are poor
and show the eflfeets of warm weather.
There are some good Killarney Bril-
liant and Maryland. Sweet peas are
poor. They were spoiled by the fre-
quent heavy rains. Needless to say,
they are cheap. Harrieii lilies are
abundant and are almost a drug on the
market. Speciosum lilies are plentiful
and used a great deal in funeral work.
Gloxinias, hydrangeas and Boston
ferns are sold' in' large quantities for
use on verandas, in sick rooms and in
the homes.

Various Notes.

W. J, Palmer & Son are quite busy
this week with funeral work, and the
entire force is kept hustling. William
Palmer is in Canada on his vacation.

J. B. Wiese has returned from his
automobile trip through the Berk-
shires. He is growing some excellent
calendulas, which he is wholesaling to
the downtown trade. John Wiese is
spending his vacation in Salamanca.

The Lenox Flower Shop had a good
display of hydrangeas and gloxinias
last week. Vases filled with gladioli
were effectively arranged among the
flowering plants.

L. H. Neubeck is producirig some
good Americas and other pink varie-
ties of gladioli at his greenhouses at
Williamsville. At the Main street
store, he is showing some excellent
Japanese lilies grown in tubs.

John Myers is having a two weeks'
vacation.

At the branch store of W. J. Palmer
& Son, some choice tritomas are being
shown. The summer carnations are un-
usually large and good in color.

J. Benson Stafford has a neat win-

ing red gladioli, tied with an elaborate
bow of blue ribbon. The vase stands
on a pedestal, with hydrangea plants
grouped artistically on one side.

Edward Sceery, of Paterson, N. J.,
stopped here on his way home from
the San Francisco exposition.

Miss Tillie Stroh reports business

-Edward filatterj-^ spent a' few days in
Cleveland recentlj', on a pleasure trip.

The Colonial Flower Shop last week
showed some charming combinations of
wild flowers. Lavender monarda, or
bee-balm, blended with Queen Anne's
lace, made an effective vase. Helian-
thus, arranged in an oblong Italian jar,
gave a bright color effect and brought
out strong contrasts.

Walter Lenie is spending two weeks
at Conesus lake.

H. P. Knoble, of Cleveland, was a
visitor here last week on business re-
garding the Cleveland flower show, to
be held November 10 to 14. It is ex-
pected there will be a large attendance
from Buffalo and Rochester. Much in-
terest in the bowling contest is looked
for.

The Allen 1 lower Shop, Wm.

ATIiANTIC CITY, N. J.

Business last week had the summer
aspect, though conditions here are dif-
ferent from those of other cities. There
are a great number of visitors, who
are good flower buyers. The better
grade of stock finds a good demand.
A noticeable call for blooming plants
is unsatisfied. There was a large
amount of funeral work last week.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., is showing
some fine phlox at one of the stores
on the Garden Pier, in addition to the
permanent exhibit. On seeing the pier,
the first thing that greets the eye of
the observer is the aquatic garden,
where water lilies are in bloom. These
flowers are wonderful. Farther back
on the pier cannas, geraniums and Lil-
ium auratum beds are in fuU bloom,
Thousands of visitors flock to the gar-
dens night and day to enjoy the won-
derful place. The company is to be
congratulated on the dignified adver-
tisements used in this exhibit, which
is one of the leading attractions of the
boardwalk.

Some fine asters were seen in the
stpre of Edwards Floral Hall Co. The
asters were the companv 's own cut.

Build Your Greenhouse Now

IHERB are several plain, com-
mon-sense reasons why now is
the time of times to build.

Materials are as cheap now as
they will be in many a year to come.

Every day the war lasts means
a larger and larger demand from
Europe for our building materials,
as soon as the war ends.

STEEL AND IRON

Germany, the greatest iron and
steel producing country of Europe,
will not be able to supply the de-
mand. She will not have able-
bodied men enough to carry on the
work. So Germany must turn to
us for her main supply for some
time to come.

Germany's present enemies will
be slow io turn to Germany for
their supply, even when she is able
to famish iL For a long time after
the war is over, they will still con-
tinue to be eoemies, which means
such couDtries will buy largely
from the Uaited States.

HiicKittgs

All of which means that the de-
mand will be so great that prices
on all iron and steel will, without
a doubt, go higher and higher for
several years to come.

GLASS

Glass is also bound to be higher,
because practically all of the Bel-
gian glass factories have been com-
pletely destroyed. If it's true that
40% of the world's glass supply has
beea coming from Belgium, then,
with this supply entirely cnt off,
there will be a big demand for our
glass, which is certain sure to make
prices higher.

GOOD TIMES ARE HERE

The big business men of our coun-
try say that "never before in its
history has there been such prosper-
ity as is now on the eve of starting."

So order your greenhouse as soon
as possible. Contract for it before
prices go higher.

Send for our commercial cata-
logue.

ness occupied two small buiWinga^ and
in nine years had grown to be the
third largest greenhouse range of
Idaho. In addition to specializing in
carnations, chrysanthemums, roses,
sweet peas and ferns, he said the firm
produces three tons of lettuce annu-
ally, and manufactures porch and win-
dow boxes and hanging baskets, which
have helped build the business.

"FRlSCCr FLORISTS^"~l»^
iir ROYAL WELCOME

This is Gala week in the history of the Society of American Florists
and marks the realization of the long cherished idea of a convention on
the Pacific Coast. The Society many times has been received with open-
handed hospitality, hut never has it had a warmer welcome than at San
Francisco. T^oo i^um to see and to do to do husiness.

V

L^

HIS is the grand holiday
for the Society of Amer-
ican Florists. It is a mile-
stone in the affairs of the
organization itself, mark-
ing its first excursion west
of the MissouMv'-and it is
an adventure for most of

the eastern members who

are in San Francisco this
week; few of them have visited the
Pacific coast before. And as for the
Pacific coast members, well, they sim-
ply have laid aside their business and
personal affairs and are devoting the
week to the entertainment of their
guests.

San Francisco has long looked for-
ward to this week, hav-
ing sent a delegation of
its best to Chicago in
1912 to extend the invi-
tation, and now that its
desire is realized noth-
ing that will add to the
enjoyment of the visit-
ors is being left undone.

A Success.

Of course the San
Francisco convention is
unlike most of its prede-
cessors, but that was to
have been expected.
Comparatively few of
the old-timers, the regu-
lars, the wheel-horses,
are present. Instead, the
attendance is made up
of new men — and their
wives — people who have
not attended many na-
tional conventions. They
are making an acquaint-
ance with the S. A. F.
and with florists from a
distance that cannot but
be mutually beneficial.
The success of a conven-
tion depends, not on its
size, but on what those
who are there are able
to get out of it — and
certainly no convention
in this trade ever gave
more in new and pleas-
ant experiences, in
strange and beautiful
sights, or in the broad-
ening influence of travel
and the hearty welcome
of a people who are glad
to have the chance to
play the part of host.

Tlie Attendance. ^

According to the last annual report,
the S. A. F. had 1,633 members, of
whom 1,382 live east of the Mississippi. ,
When it is considered that only 251 i
members of the society live within ,
2,000 miles of the convention city, tl^ i
attendance at San Francisco must be '
rated as extremely good ; a great del^
better showing, comparatively, than ha^ ,
been made in years when four-fifths of
the society's membership lived within
a night's ride of the meeting.

Not only was the attendance large
in consideration of the geographical dis-
tribution of the membership, but it was,
in fact, far larger .numerically than
most of those who usual-
ly send exhibits had sup-
posed it would be. While
the' largest party, that
whieh. centered at Chi-
cago, started with only
thirty - five p e r's o n s ,
counting women and
children, large nunjbers
of florists have been on
the coast this year #hd
all centered — 4nt r S«n
Francisco for conven-
tion week. A nbt»ble
feature is the perc^^t-
age of men who are ac-
companied by their
wives and children.
Nothing like it ever has
been known in the ^ole
history of the soflety
and the holiday i^irit
has prevailed to an un-
usual degree. -• %

It was to have been
expected that the trade
on the coast would turn
out practically to a n^n.
The fact that this is the
first time the S. A. F.
has visited the coast^ir-
sured that, and then
there was the great ad-
dition to the member-
ship there, Vice-presi-
dent MacRori^ having
enrolled over 100 new
names in California,
State Vice-president B.
T. Mische el^ren from
Oregon and State Vice-
president J. Yf^ Duncan
three from Washington.
Such gains in member-
ship showed the local in-
terest, although it must

be remembered that San Francisco is as
far from San Diego, Cal., or Portland,
Ore., as Buffalo is from Chicago.

The Trades' Display.

It can not be said that the society
has lost anything at all by going to
, San. JFxanciaco «jc<;ept that- -the - trades^-
display is the smallest in many years.
This was inevitable. Most of those who
put up large exhibits, year after year,
-are located in the east. Their best dis-
plays are made close at home, or in a
city where the trade interests are large
enough so that practically the entire
exhibition can be sold to local buyers,
thereby saving the exhibitors the labor
and expense of repacking the stock for
shipment. Under the circumstances,
with, so great a distance and the cer-
tainty that the average visitor would
be inore intent on sightseeing than on
buying stock for fall trade, it could
not be expected that the trades' dis-
play would equal other years. That it
proved to be decidedl}- small was no
surprise.

The convention is being held in Expo-
sition Memorial Auditorium, where the
entire east side of the fourth floor was
placed at the disposal of the society for
the week without cost. No finer accom-
modations could be asked. Meeting
room and exhibition hall are side by
sid-e, but separate. There is quiet. The
name of the building led many to suj)-
pose it to be on the exposition grounds;
instead, it is downtown, in the Civic
Center, the heart of things.
The Oarden.

The convention garden is jirovin;;
something of a task. It was splendidly

done ftt Minneapolis; so well, in fact,
that it inspired efforts to duplicate that
success under conditions by no means
equally favorable. The men have been
available — when yovi, stop to think of
it, it is remarkable how much talent the
S0£iety_can «omjnand — but loe«tioB,-soil
and stock have been lacking. At Min-
neapolis the garden was a square of
ground of just the right size right be-
side the convention hall. At Boston it
was marsh land filled in for the pur-
pose, some little distance from the hall,
while at San Francisco no available site
could be found nearer than Qolden Gate
park. The separation of the two parts
of the exhibition tends to weaken both
by causing a division of interest; the
better the garden is the more people it
j)ulls away from the meetings and in-
door display. This year the garden wias
good, but the counter attractions wete
too numerous for either garden or meet-
ing to hold the A'isitors for long.

The Program.

When the directors were planning the
]>rogram they wisely took into consider-
ation the many things that would call
the members and the business sessions
were mapped out to be as few and as
brief as possible. As it was then put:

"In view of the many and varietl at-
tractions of the convention ^nd conven-
tion city, the executive board decided
that it would be unwise to take up the
time of the convention with the reading
of essays. Realizing, however, the
value of the presentation of essays at
the society 's conventions, the secretary
was instructed to invite essays from
various gentlemen willing to prepare

them, such invitations and the number
of them to be within his discretion, the
essays to be furnished to the trade pa-
pers for publication during the conven-
tion period, and to be printed as part

01 the proceedings of the convention. 'i_

sue of The Review.

The Routine Business.

Ufifortunately, the order of business
. brings the driest part of the program
* at tne time there is the largest attend-
ance. Practically everyone who goes
to the annual convention is present at
the opening exercises, which are set for

2 p. m. They invariably enjoy the ora-
tory of the mayor or his silver-tongued
substitute, and they applaud the flo-
rist's reply. The address of the presi-
dent of the 8. A. F. is listened to with
respectful attention, if it is not too
long, but when the secretary and treas-
urer begin reading their lengthy statis-
tical reports, enunciating even so clear-
ly as do Messrs. Young and Kasting,
followed by multitudinous committee
reports, the members one by one tiptoe
from the hall, until only a little band of
the faithful remain. Would that some
parliamentarian might devise an order
of business that would put what our
theatrical friends call ' ' punch ' ' into the
order of business for the opening ses-
sion to stimulate interest in the subse-
quent proceedings.

At San t'rancisco promptness is the
rule, and the first business session
opened on the stroke of the clock. Vice-
president MacRorie introduced the
mayor, Hon. James Rolph, Jr., to de-
liver an official welcome to the society.
He handed over the keys of the city
most eloquently, showing the great
amount of practice he is getting this
year in extending the official glad hand.
For the society ex-President W. F.
Gude, of Washington, made a felicitous
response.

When President Welch was intro-
duced— and it was the first convention
of the S. A. F. in many years at which
such an introduction has been more
than a formality — he was greeted with
cheers so prolonged as to prove that
the popular Bostonian's fame had
spread across the continent, even to the
shores of the Pacific. Either that or
he had made friends wonderfully fast
in the few days he had been in the
convention city ahead of the gathering
of the clan. As soon as he could make
himself heard, Mr. Welch spoke a few
words of thanks for the ovation and
then read the carefully prepared dis-
cussion of the work and needs of the
society printed in full in this issue of
The Review. The address was, as usual,
referred to a committee, consisting of
George Asmus, of Chicago; Henry
Kruckeberg, of Los Angeles; E. J. Fan-
court, of Philadelphia; C. W. Ward, of
Eureka, Cal., and H. Plath, of San
Francisco.

Secretary Young, of New York, who
has been in San Francisco a month pre-
paring for the convention, also was
greeted with applause when his annual
report was called for. He began with

the minutes of the meetings of the ex-
ecutive board, which, however impor-
tant, are not nearly so interesting as
the sights on the Zone at the fair.
When the minutes were approved and
ordered printed in the record, Mr.
Young presented his report of the work
of the secretary's office, which also was
approved and ordered printed. Mr.
Young then presented the minutes of
the general meeting of the national
flower show committee held at Chi-
cago March 1 and 2, which also were
ordered printed in the society's annual
volume as a matter of record.

Treasurer W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo,
who prides himself on the completeness
and accuracy of the society's financial
records, presented his annual report, a
summary of which appears in this issue.
It was accompanied by auditor's certifi-
cate and was ordered printed.

The reports of state vice-presidents
were presented and were ordered print-
ed without reading.

The report of the society 's entomolo-
gist, Prof. W. E. Britton, of New
Britain, Conn., was presented and or-
dered print.ed. It appears in this issue
of The Review.

W. F. Gude, of Washington, who is
among the most active workers for the
society, presented a report as the or-
ganization 's ofi&cial representative at
the national capital, as chairman of
the committee on tariff and legislation
and as chairman of the committee on
W. R. Smith memorial. All these were
ordered printed and appear in this issue
of The Review.

The report of Benjamin Hammond,
of Beacon, N. Y., as chairman of the
committee on school gardens was ac-
cepted and ordered printed. It appears
in this issue of The Review.

A report from Irwin Bertermann, of
Indianapolis, chairman of the commit-
tee on national publicity, was presented
and drdered printed. It is in this issue
of The Review.

George Asmus, of C^iicago, chairman
of the national flower show committee,
presented a brief report as to the state
of the preparations for the great exhibi-
tion to be held at Philadelphia in
March, 1916, which was accepted with
applause and ordered printed. It is in
this issue of The Review.

A telegram of sympathy and good
cheer was ordered sent to ex-President
Edwin Lonsdale, ill at Lompoc, Cal., also

a message of Similar import to Wallace
P. Pierson, who was taken suddenly ill
and operated on for appendicitis in a
San Francisco hospital August 18.

President's Reception.

The president 's reception, always a
fine affair, was uuusually brilliant this
year and the attendance was large. All
San Francisco florists were there and
their ladies fair graced the occasion,
enjoying it to the full while adding
to the enjoyment of others. The recep-
tion was held in the beautiful colonial
ballroom of the St. Francis hotel, which
had been handsomely decorated for the
occasion, and nearly 400 were present.
President and Mrs. Welch, Vice-presi-
dent and Mr&. MacRorie, ex-President
and Mrs. Gude, Director and Mrs. Hess,
Director and Mrs. Peterson, Director
and Mrs. Kerr, ex-President and Mrs.
Asmus, ex-President and Mrs. Vincent,

ex-President and Mrs. Wirth, ex-Presi-
dent Hill, Secretary Young, Treasurer
Kasting, Mr. and Mrs. Plath were among
those in the receiving line. Dancing
followed, continuing to a late hour,
and, although many do not dance,
everyone had a good time. Light re-
freshments were served.

Next Meeting Place.

The by-laws require that the place of
next meeting be selected on the open-
ing day, invitations being presented at
the afternoon session and the choice
determined by ballot at the evening
session, during the reception.

Invitations were extended by the
New York Florists' Club, by the Hous-
ton Florists' Club and the Texas State
Florists' Association, and by the New
Orleans Horticultural Society.

The vote was oyerwhelmingly in
favor of Houston. Tef .

9. That the constitution be amended
to provide for alphabetical divisions of
the membership to accelerate the cast-
ing of ballots at the annual election.

All the recommendations were con-
curred in by the society.

The Local Hospitalities.

The local hospitalities w^i-e by . no
means all on the program— ^very San
Franciscan has spent the week in enter-
taining his friends from out of town.
The reception committee, headed by
John E. Fotheringham, was at the sta-
tion to meet the Chicago special cars
Monday evening, August 1% Aid es-
corted these and other visitoiis to hotels.

Arrangements had been made for a
reception and general introduction in
the green room of the St. Francis
hotel Tuesday morning, August 17,
under the auspices of the Women's Aux-
iliary of the Pacific Coast Horticultural
Society, but this was changed to a
steamer ride out through the Golden
Gate into the Pacific ocean on the U. S.
revenue cijtter Unalga, which had been
made available througl^ the efforts of
John McLaren. Nearly 200 were in
the party, including members of the
S. A. F, and the American Association
of Park Superintendents, with their
families. To those who were from the
east it was a new and novel experience
and one that was highly enjoyed. The

coiirse was past the exposition grounds
and afforded a magnificent view of the
city and its fair.

■Wednesday evening, August 18^- a-Hew-
~feiEfture in. a. A. F. entertainment was
provided. The men were taken to the
Elks' Club for a smoker and high jinks,
while the ladies, chaperoned by W. A.
Hofinghoff and his committee, were en-
tertained at a theater party at the
Orpheum.

August 19, while the men are conclud-
ing the business of the convention and
bowling, the ladies will enjoy an auto-
mobile ride around the bay and down
the peninsula, where luncheon will be
served under the big trees in San Mateo
county.

The annual bowling contest for ladies
was ., provided, Wednesday afternoon,
,^ August 18, but was not so attractive as
usual to the visitors, who found many
other things they would rather do in
San Francisco. The men's bowling
tournament is set as the usual Thursday
afternoon feature, at Graney's alleys,
but no eastern city has sent a team
and it is feared the lure of the Zone
at the exposition will prove stronger
this time than the attractions of the
individual contest on the alleys.

August 20 has been officially desig-
nated as S. A. F. day at the exposition
and the ceremonies there will take the
place of the picnic which customarily
has closed convention week. The expo-
sition authorities are to present to
President Welch, for the society, a
bronz5 plaque commemorative of the
event.

Becent Trades' Displays.

At Sq. Ft. Sold Receipts Expenses Profit

Chicago 17.314 $7,412.55 $4,106.67 $3,251.88

Boston. 0,975 3,990.00 2,470.22 1,519.78

It was in the trades' display even
tnore than in the attendance of mem-
bers that the S. A. F. convention of
1915 showed the effect of the distance
to , 3an Francisco from eastern trade
centers. The number of exhibitors at
Chicago in 1912 was 108; at Minne-
apolis in 1913 it was sixty-five; at Bos-
ton iii 1914, after allowing for the with-
drawal of the supply houses that had
their stock tied up by the war, it was
sixty-eight. All these exhibitors were
easjt^e^n concerns and it could not be
expected that any large proportion of
them would exhibit on the other side
of the continent. It is the interesting
fact, however, that three concerns sent
large displays all the way from Phila-
delphia.. The show seldom has been
staged in so good a hall. It is large,
light a.nd airy; the display made an
especially good general effect and to
a large percentage of those present it
was the largest showing of trade com-
modities t.hey had ever seen brought to-
gether in one place. The exhibitors
were as follows:

Advance Co., Bicfamond, Ind.

A full-size Advance ventilating ma-
chine, nickel-plated for exhibition pur-
poses, was the principal feature of this

display, which also included a full line
of pipe fittings and a new expansion
pipe joint. R. E. Jones was in charge.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

This was the largest exhibit in the
hall, occupying half the space along the
west wall. In addition to a general line
of florists' supplies, a large variety of
staple and novelty baskets was shown.
A complete wedding outfit was on dis-
play, also a new willow birdcage with
stand and vase to hold flowers. The
assortment of metal and other wreaths
occupied the wall space. Sydney Bay-
ersdorfer and Martin Reukauf were in
charge.

Bichard Dlener, Colma, Cal.

This display, staged on a table of
twenty-four square feet, consisted of
cut spikes of forty unnamed seedling
gladioli of excellent promise; large
flowers and choice, clear colors.

Domoto Bros., San Francisco.

This exhib;t consisted of a table of
plants of the newer varieties of hy-
drangeas.

John A. Evans Co., Bichmond, Ind.

John A. Evans, who has not missed
a convention in many years, was on
hand with the usual section of a green-
house in which the sash are operated
by the Challenge ventilating machine.
His fifty feet of space also enabled him

to show fittings and the new Evans salt
sprayer for clearing carnations of red
spider.

Herbert Sc Fleishauer, McMinnvllle.

This exhibit occupied a table of
twenty-four square feet and consisted
solely of cut blooms of asters grown by
the exhibitor in Oregon. Many of the
varieties had been originated by the
exhibitor and all the strains have been
improved by careful selection. The
stock is grown primarily for seed, but
large quantities of cut blooms are sold
in the Portland market. J. G. Bacher
was in charge.

Henry J. Kessel, San Francisco.

This exhibitor, who uses the name of
the Richmond Fernery in his local busi-
ness, used a table of twenty-four feet
for a display of Adiantum California in
pots of various sizes' The variety is
rapidly gaining friends.

MacBorie-McLaren Co., San Francisco.

One of the specialties of this exhib-
itor is the phalsenopsis, and a group of
plants was staged arranged to occupy
100 square feet.

Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia.

This exhibitor used 200 square feet
to effectively display a large line of
high grade ribbons, chiffons and cor-
sage ties, including several new colors

to match the latest popular flowers.
Basket cages also were a feature of this
exhibit, which was in charge of E. J.
Fancourt, assisted by J. R. Fothering-
ham.

J. A. Peterson & Sons, Cincinnati.

On fifty feet of space this firm
showed several sizes of the begonias
for which it has a national reputation
and all of which were originated on
its home place. The varieties were
Glory of Cincinnati, Melior and Mrs.
J. A. Peterson. J. A. Peterson was in
personal charge of the exhibit.

, H. ^l»>th, San I'rancisco.

The Ferneries, the trade name under
which this exhibitor is known locally,
had eighty feet of space on which he
showed a large collection of ferns, in-
cluding a number of varieties not com-
mon in the east, and a line of palms,
principally kentias.

A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago.

This exhibit occupied 200 square feet.
It included a general line of florists'
supplies, with a special di^lay of bas-
kets nearly all of which were the prod-
uct of ^the exhibitor's own American
factory; many new and original shapes
and finishes were shown. The exhibit
also contained a line of sun parlor fur-
niture of willow, which has proved pop-
ular f«r flower stores. Frank McCabe
was in charge.

Mrs. Francis J. Beidy, San Jose, Oal.

This exhibitor had a fine table of
dahlia blooms, the collection containing
only seedling varieties of the exhib-
itor's own raising. Not only were the
flowers good but the colors were excel-
lent.

M. Bice Co., Philadelphia.

This exhibit, in charge of Arthur
Zirkman, occupied 200 square feet and
included a general line of florists' sup-
plies, but specialized on novelty bas-
kets and new ribbons. A conspicuous
feature was a new aisle post and center-
piece with high vase.

Superior Nursery Co., Los Angeles.

The exhibitor, who has a new neph-
rolepis to which the name Superior has
been given and which has already estab-
lished a local reputation, took this op-
portunity to show it to growers from a
distance, staging plants in a variety of
sizes on a table of twenty-four square
feet.

Swiss Floral Co., Portland, Ore.

A table of forty square feet was used
for the display of the exhibitor's new
petunias, Pride of Portland and Elks'
Pride. These originated at Portland
and are promising varieties. They were
shown in pots. J. Gr. Bacher was in
charge.

Considering the distance from the
great centers of business and popula-
tion, it is considered that the S. A. F.
convention gardens in Golden Gate
park at San Francisco make a decidedly
creditable showing; particularly so to
the growers and nurserymen of the Pa-
cific slope, many of whom have in-
stalled large, handsome and interesting
exhibits, and to Superintendent Mac-
Rorie.

The Setting of the Garden.

A large space was set aside for the
purpose on the south side of the park,
in a slight hollow sheltered from the
trade winds and making the most of the
sunshine. Plenty of space was avail-
able for any number of exhibits that
might have been offered and, as it
turned out, the plats were well scat-
tered. A notable feature of the garden
is the arrangement of the beds around
and among groups of California red-
woods and specimens of other conifers
planted in the park; and some flower

beds, harmonizing nicely with the gen-
eral scheme, have also been planted by
the park, the space between being filled
with new lawn. The trees, though add-
ing not a little to the beauty ef the
gardens, so obstruct the view that it
is impossible to do the gardens justice
in a photograph, but the accompanying
illustrations will give a generaj idea of
their appearance from different points.

The view on page 23 shows the scene
as the observer stands at the sweet pea
beds of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., which,
of course, do not appear. In the fore-
ground is a part of the rose garden
of Henry W. Turner, of Montebello,
Cal.; farther to the front are the roses
of the Gill Nursery Co., while still far-
ther is a large bed of brilliant petunias
put in by Schwerin Bros., of the Visita-
cion Valley Nursery, surrounding the
central redwood tree. A cornel- of a hand-
some bed of asters planted by H. Plath
also is seen to the left, and farther off
on this side, a large bed of mixed gladi-
oli, planted by C. Kooyman, of San
Francisco. In the distance to the right
is seen a bed of brilliant poppies, put
in by the park.

The view on page 22 is as it appears
to the visitor standing at a large plant-
ing of salvias from the Cottage Gardens
Nursery, Eureka, Cal., and shows prin-
cipally two extensive beds of brilliant
begonias put in by the same exhibitor.
To the right, also, is shown a part of
a collection of dahlias by Fred Grohe,
of Santa Rosa.

Notes on the Exhibits.
The most numerous exhibits by any
one house were those of the MacRorie-

AucusT 19, 191C. ' ^

View in the S. A. F. Convention Garden, Golden, Gate Park, San Francisco, Cal.

McLaren Co., which has exerted itself
in every possible way to make the gar-
dens a success. Oi^ji^ the most inter-
esting exhibits is a "collection of fifty-
two varieties of acacias shown by this
house, something that has never been
exhibited before, and that well illus-
trates the wide divergence in type and
habit of the many members of the
acacia family. This company also has
exhibited a collection of about 200 va-
rieties of ornamental shrubs, many of
which ^exA new to the eastern visitors,
and another large plot has been occu-
pied with two varieties of hydrangeas;
while «iany other beds were planted by
this company in other parts of the
gardens!

Another interesting collection of
shrubs is that of the Santa Barbara
Nursery, containing 100 specimens, all
different varieties.

JThe Dahlias and Gladioli.

The gardens are especially strong in
dahlias, this being no doubt due to the
fact that the growers of the San Fran-
cisco district have given much atten-
tion to tMa flower, which attains great
perfectirf^^nder California conditions.
Most of the dahlias are banked together
on a southern slope and had to be rigor-
ously held back to keep the best blooms
for the convention period. Here Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, Pa., has
a bed of tM new Kalif dahlia, which
shows up nicely. Adjoining this, Frank
Pelicano, of San Francisco, has a collec-
tion of 300 dahlias, in eight varieties,
Burgle predominating. Richard Loh-
nian, of San Rafael, Cal., exhibits two
varieties, EUse and Burgle. William

Monroe has a collection of eighty-nine
varieties.

Howard & Smith, of Los Angeles,
make a strong showing, including quite
a variety of stock. They show 117 va-
rieties of dahlias, about a dozen varie-
ties of fuchsias, all well grown and
blooming nicely; a large bed of del-
phiniums, and a bed of Crimson King
verbenas, which in size and brilliance
fully justify their name.

Gladioli are not an especially promi-
nent feature. Vaughan's Seed Store is
exhibiting three varieties, which show
up fairly well, and C. Kooyman has a
nice miscellaneous collection.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

Chrysanthemums for a large bed were
sent out by C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.,
but it was not possible to show any
blooms by the convention week.

Of the two important rose beds,
H. W. Turner's is of one variety, Sep-
tember Morn, while that of the Gill
Nursery Co. includes quite a collection
of varieties.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los
Angeles, occupies a good sized bed with
an exhibit of lobelias and gazanias, the
latter a plant that almost has disap-
peared from the trade in America.

E. James, of Oakland, has an inter-

antirrhinums.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., of Philadel-
phia, Pa., and Lompoc, Cal., devote their
space to thirty-three new varieties of
sweet peas, which have never been
shown before and which, unfortunately,
could not be had in bloom at this date.

Fred Grohe, Santa Rosa, occupies a

small plot with dahlias in eight differ-
ent varieties, and a pleasing assortment
of petunias.

The Swiss Floral Co., of Portland,
Ore., has a handsome display of Salvia
Red Cross.

The salvia of the Cottage Gardens
Nursery is an eye catcher, while its ex-
tensive display of bedding begonias is
one of the brightest spots in the gar-
dens.

W. F. Kasting Co., Buffalo, shows a
bed of cannas and the Hillsborough
Nurseries, of Burlingame, Cal., has a
large and attractive display.

A few of the exhibits, such as those
of Donioto Bros., Ferrari Bros., the
Fancher Creek Nursery, etc., were in-
stalled from pots on the eve of the
convention, too late to be included in
this description.

It should be remembered that a con-
siderable number of those who ordi-
narily would be leading exhibitors in
such an affair as the convention garden
are maintaining large all-season exhib-
its on the exposition grounds.

NATIONAL PUBLICITY.

[The following is tlie report of Irwin Berter-
iiiann. chairman of the committee on national
puhllcity, presented at the San Francisco con-_
ventloD, August 18, 1915.]

National publicity is a much talked
of problem, hard to solve, yet with
wonderful possibilities and a great fu-
ture, particularly in the field of the
florists' profession.

As a result of the talk of Philip
Breitmeyer during the board of direc-
tors' meeting at Chicago, March 2, our
president appointed George Burton,
Irwin Bertermann and W. F. Kasting a

committee to deal with the problem.
Little has been done further than mak-
ing the following report, which we trust
may have a stimulating effect in an
undertaking the national society stands
much in need of.

Large appropriations for the further-
ance of publicity throughout the land
arfe impractical from a financial stand-
point and unless carefully safeguarded
and given detailed attention, there is
much liability that a large percentage
would be wasted.

Advertising experts of the larger
cities have in several instances made
suggestions to prominent members of
the S. A. F. in regard to national pub-
licity. In the main, their ideas were
practical and would no doubt bring re-
sults, but it was evident that the cost
was at no time in accord with the meas-
ure of direct returns receivable by the
florists' fraternity. In fact, one promi-
nent expert had it that $25,000 would
be a reasonable sum with which to
start in the city of New York. This,
of course, sounds well and no doubt
would be of immense value, but at the
same time it would be impossible to
carry such a project forward through-
out the country.

Advertising Strength in Trade.

One of the self-evi'Sent features that
has brought itself cj^fly to the front
in the last few years is the following:
That the great national flower shows
given in large centers, the extensive
advertising campaigns of the larger in-
dividual firms of the country and the
natioYial publicity campaigns of the Flo-

rists' Telegraph Delivery show that
there is a great wealth of strength in
the S. A. F. itself, that we have a
strong advertising feature to stand on
within our organization.

There are approximately 2,000 of the
better florists throughout the country
closely united, willing and only waiting
the call to send forth the proper issues
before the public. It is true that one
florist has not the strength in the small-
est fraction of a large newspaper, but
one individual florist has within him-
self the power to carry forward a cam-
paign which will interest thousands of
people.

The florists of a large city like Chi
eago alone, it properly united on a
single subject, can place it before an
immense population. This is shown in
the newspaper features of united flo-
rists' advertising in Detroit, Cleveland
and Philadelphia newspapers.

It is the firm belief of this commit-
tee that if any special line of adver-
tising be taken up and set before the
members of this organization in the
proper manner, the advertising will
be carried throughout the breadth of
the country and the expense from the
parent source be entirely within the
reasonable bounds to be expected.

Working Through Organization.

A few hundred dollars expended by
this organization, or collectively by in-
dividuals, in properly placing an out-
line before its members and in aiding
them to carry it out, will within a rea-
sonable time insure its appearance as a
national message to the flower buying

public. This has been clearly demoa^
strated through the efforts of the Flo-
rists' Telegraph Delivery, each individ-
ual member using feature advertising
on his letter-heads, on a majority of
1,000,000 folders or in his advertising
space in newspapers and periodicals.
This same plan can easily be carried
forward, as there is not a member of
you who is not willing to aid the par-
ent association and himself in such a'
manner. The sum of money expended
at the start, whether it be $1,000 or
$5,000, will easily return to the source
in the way of strength and influence or
in membership itself, for everyone con-
nected will be pleased with the results
and satisfied with the good accom-
plished.

We say confidently that if the So-
ciety of American Florists wants its
members to sell a particular flower
next Christmas or if it wants a certain
line featured or if it has any publicity
of any special nature in niind, it
can safely accomplish its object through
its membership and at a cost less than ::
one-twentieth of what would be charged
by any professionals who are interested
in doing the work without the aid of"
2,000 florists themselves.

It did not take long for the Mrs,
Russell rose to be known generally.
Why? Because thousands of florists
boosted it. Neither would it take long
for any worthy publicity to reach the ,
public if handled along the same lines.

The coming great Philadelphia show _
will in itself add a stimulus to tiie local
flower business and with an advertis-
ing secretary of the S. A, F. acting

with its members themselves, publicity
apace could he procured for a few dol-
lars that could not be had for a' larger
sum in a direct manner. Many new,
immensely worthy exhibits will be
shdwn there, and great good will come
to this organization and financial bene-
fit to the trade if this be used as a
««iiall instance by every florist in his
dealing with the public.

SNAP SHOTS

After the convention the visitors,
almost in a body, will move down to
Los Angeles and San Diego.

Apparently, the toughest job of all
is cut out for the man who tries to go
Theodore Wirth one better in the mat-
ter of the convention garden.

That steamer excursion was all right;
there was a lot to see. But one par-
ticipant describes it laconically, thus:
"Cold wind; hot Scotch."

Everywhere one goes on the Pacific
coast one meets old friends — florists
who have settled in the land of sun-
shine and flowers.

What a fiend for work that D. Mac-
Borie is! Or is it that he has the hap-
py faculty of getting all the other fel-
lows going strong?

The only member of the National
Flower Show Committee present at San
Francisco this w«ek is the chairman,
George Asmus, of Chicago.

It took the fi. A. F. thirty years to
get around to visiting the Pacific coast,
but the prediction is made that the
society will be back there before it is
anything like that much older.

Of the so-called affiliation directors,
only one is present at the convention
this week, Wallace E. Pierson, Crom-
well, Conn., who represents the Rose
Society on the executive board. Of
the appointed directors, Messrs. Hess,
Peterson and Kerr, just half th^ board,
are on the job.

Charles "Willis Ward has become OQe
q{ the most ardent of California boost-
ers. He will give a party of eastern
friends a touch of real life in the red-
wood forests next week.

The man who didn't come will be
sorry when he hears about the trip.
It is worth anybody's time and
money, and especially so for florists,
seedsmen and nurserymen. -

Certaiiily those Californians are
great boosters — for California — but
they have something to boost! It's a
g^eat country and all the trade visitors
this week want to come back.

"We here (in the Boston convention)
can send the society to the Pacific
coast, but, I ask you, who will bring
the society back again f" — W. A.
Manda, August 18, 1914. Now we have
the answer: The society will return
east by easy stages, which is by far the
pleasantest way to^make a long jour-
ney. The Texans are bringing it back
part way next yeaf."^''

^ AMONG THOSE PRESENT s^

THE ATTENDANCE from the towns
surrounding San Francisco was
large — indeed, almost everyone in
the trade in the central Californian sec-
tion was present — -and there was a good
representation from other parts of the
Pacific coast country, while from east
of the mountains the attendance was
not, perhaps, so large as was expected
a year ago, but nevertheless was excel-
lent when it is considered that at
Boston 128 votes carried the conven-
tion to San Francisco. Those from out-

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

1 I I Hill I'llllllKlllllHllllll

N any occasion the mem-
bers of this society, espe-
cially those residing east
of the Eockies, could have
visited this city with
pleasure and profit, but at
this time, when the great
Panama - Pacific interna-
tional exposition is being
held here, we deem our-
selves most favored.

It is needless for me to say that I
am honored as the presidinff^ oflBcer of
this great national society, one of the
few in the United States possessing
a charter issued under a special act of
the National Congress and signed by
the President,

This great opening of our convention
proves that we are not an association
of New Yorkers, New Englanders,
Pennsylvanians or Virginians, but con-
firms our boast that we are a national
association in representation as well
as in name.

We should and we do feel proud of
our profession for
the wonderful
progress it has
made. According
to the last avail-
able census, that
of 1909, the sale
of plants and
flowers advanced
from $18,758,864
in 1899 to $34,872,-
329 in 1909, an in-
crease of ninety-
one per cent. The
total number of
establishments in
the United States
in our business in
1909 was 10,614.
The leading states
in value of flow-
ers and plants are:
New York... $5, 110,000

be more pleasant than the gathering
together in one great organization of
all our business associates in this
country?

Experience has shown us that what
is everybody's business is not at-
tended to by anyone, and so I say, let
the increasing of the membership be
an individual matter of pride to us all.
We all have a high estimate of the
benefits derived from membership in
our society; let us memorialize it dur-
ing the coming year by doubling our
membership^ list. This is an age of
cooperation and affiliation, and what
was formerly advanced individually is
now accomplished only by thorough
organization.

If we are to perform the mission of
this society, we can only be satisfied
when we have joined to its ranks every

Membership.

A society gains
much of its influ-
ence and useful-
ness from a large
membership, and
while the Society
of American Flo-
rists has been
adding strength
to its member-
ship, I feel we
can do much more
in that direction.

man engaged in floriculture and horti-
cuture, whether he is doing business in
the north, south, east or west of this
grand country of ours.

Every state in the Union in which
we have members is wisely entitled to
a national vice-president; wisely, I say,
because every state has then at least
one national officer within its limits.
One of the principal duties of the vice-
president is to increase the membership
in his state. Therefore, I urge the
vice-presidents during this year to con-
duct active, spirited campaigns for
new members in our society. _,

Few men join an organization~such
as ours without being invited, and any-
one, on being informed of the process
which this society has made in the last
thirty years, will hardly hesitate to
become a member when he is in^'ited.

We are proud indeed of the position
of our society today, with 2,000 mem-
bers and $30,000 balance in our treas-
ury, thanks to the wise, discreet and
courageous policy displayed by our

officers. I feel
that with a little
effort, on the part
of our vice-presi-
dents especially,
our membership
can be materially
advanced and our
usefulness in-
creased accord-
ingly.

National Show.

For the last six
years we have
witnessed the suc-
cess of the na-
t i o n a 1 flower
show, and recog-
nized its great
value as a medium
for educating the
public in the love
and admiration of
horticulture and
floral products. It
has proved a safe
financial enter-
prise for the so-
ciety.

To insure the
continuance o f
the national flow-
er show and in
keeping with the
ambitions of the
society, it is nec-
essary that the
best and most
efficient members
should be placed
on that commit-
tee.

There is no

work which the S. A. F. has uudertaken
that calls for eoopefatidn with all other
interests as much as the work of the
flower show committee; cooperation
with the rose, carnation, sweet pea and
gladiolus societies, the private gardener
and all other kindred organizations.
What can be accomplished through co-
opBNition ill other fields can likewise
be accomplished here. All that is re-
quired is to emphasize the benefits that
are to be derived and the determina-
tioa to secure them.

We have always been successful in
securing the aid and support of the
horticultural interests in the city
whei^ the national flower show has
taken place, and that we must always
continue to have, for without it we can-
not have a full measure of success.

There is no better agency for horti-

The training tends to improve home
surroundings. A little instruction; in
this line helps to form habits of thrift
and economy. Every member should
assist in this work, with a hope that it
may create au interest in your town or
city and be of inestimable value to the
future welfare of commercial floricul-
ture.

The Convention Gardens.

Our convention gardens of Minneapo-
lis and Boston have undoubtedly met
with the approval of the great majority
of our members and the profession in
general. Their value from an educa-
tional and commercial point of view is
recognized by all and the question be-
fore us now is: How can we best con-
tinue this important work, in what way
and manner can we improve and ad-

Aogelo J. Rossi.

cultural advancement than the one
which has for its end a national flower
show once in two years.

School Gardens.

I am much impressed with the Avork
accomplished in the past by the perma-
nent committee on school gardens un-
der the leadership of its able and effi-
cient chairman, Benjamin Hammond.

This work is of much practical bene-
fit and interest to the boys and girls
of this nation, bringing health and
strength to growing children. Its in-
stallation in school districts throughout
the country would bring thrift to many
a rising family. The school garden
affords much pleasure and broadens
mentality.

vance its scope, and how can we secure
for those gardens permanent existence
in the cities where we establish themf

In the way of advancement it should
be made possible to improve upon the
plan of the Boston garden. I should
like to see those gardens designed and
executed in such a way that they will
represent good garden landscape ef-
fects, as well as good plant cultivation.

It is necessary that all proper plant-
ing material and appurtenances known
to good garden architecture be em-
ployed in the creation of those gardens,
where each individual plant or group
of plants would be given its proper
jdace in the garden as a whole.

This, I realize, cannot be done in one
short season, but would require not less

than two years of planning and execu-
tion; ~ ^ — ~

To make this possible, it would be
necessary to select the convention city
two years ahead of the meeting instead
of one, and I want to advance the
question at. this time, why could not
this be donef

If the convention garden work can
•be enlarged upon along the lines of
this suggestion, I believe that the sec-
retary and the local authorities of the
convention cities having the execution
of the plans in charge should have the
assistance of a permanent committee
of the S. A. F. consisting of three mem-
bers well versed and experienced in this
work. They would be appointed by the
president, one for three years, one for
two years and one for one year. Each
president thereafter would make an
appointment annually.

In this connection I, recommend that
after the appointment of this commit-
tee the first question they should con-
sider would be an amendment to the
constitution providing for the choice
of the annual convention city two years
in advance. Their recommendation
should be submitted to the executive
board for consideration before being
acted upon by the national convention.

Legislation.

The pioneers in commercial floricul-
ture took conditions as they found
them, surmounted difficulties and con-
quered many obstacles. They did it in
their own way, without any great
assistance from legislation, but that
method can no longer go on. We must
see to it that no hostile laws are put
upon the statute books. Legislation
emanating from Congress or from any
of our state legislatures may be help-
ful or may result in great injury unless
prevented by the active work of our
legislative committee.

The requirements of this committee-
call for a reasonable annual appropria-
tion to be used when needed to en-
courage favorable and prevent hostile
legislation. I would strongly recom-
mend that the chairman be given power
to secure counsel in Washington or in
any of our states, to appear before
national or local legislative committees
and make known our needs whenever
in his judgment this may be necessary.

I would also recommend that our
representative in Washington should
in the future be given the same priv-
ilege that is accorded all other execu-
tive members, namely, the right to vote
on all questions that may be brought
up for adjustment before the board of
directors at the annual meeting. At
present he is required to attend all
meetings of this board, but is denied
the right to vote, which is depriving
the society of the benefits that would
accrue from the exercise of this priv-
ilege by a member whose judgment and
experience are of great value to the
society.

Election of Directors.

The constitution and by-laws under
which we now work are practically as
adopted at a meeting of the incorpora-
tors of the society in Washington in
1902, immediately after our charter had
been signed by the late President Mc-
Kinley. I am satisfied from observa-
tion and experience in its workings
that the election of two members of
the board of directors annually, in
place of their appointment by the presi-

The Florists' Rcvi^

dent, would result in creating a much
^livelier interest in the annual conven-
tion, bringing the work of the society
nearer to the members and relieving
the future presidents of the difficulty
of making these selections.

Ex-President Prank E. Pierson, in his
address at Eochester, N. Y., in 1910,
had the same idea in mind when he
said, "I am firmly of the opinion that
we would more nearly follow out the
ideas of democratic government by the
election rather than the appointment
of directors."

The changes which have taken place
in the make-up of our board of direc-
tors within the last two years make it
necessary that the society itself should
elect two directors annually, especially
Bince the privilege is extended to local
clubs and the national organizations
having 100 S. A. F. members to elect
one.

I would recommend that this society
in convention authorize the amendment
of the constitution so that hereafter
two members shall be elected to the
board of directors at our annual con-
vention.

Cooperation.

The parent society has ever been re-
nowned for her many activities in be-
half of advanced horticulture. It has
played an important role with patience,
zeal and determination, to the end that
cooperation between the allied societies
should be a fitting and notable achieve-
ment. To the committee comprising
Theodore Wirth, George Asmus and
William F. Kasting we owe a debt of
gratitude for their labor, loyalty, un-
failing patience and persistence.

The first practical step toward real
affiliation with the kindred societies
and florists' clubs throughout the coun-
try was passed at the last convention
in Boston. Under the terms of this
amendment the New York, Boston and
Philadelphia Florists' Clubs, the Flo-
rists' Telegraph Delivery Association,
the American Eose Society and the
American Carnation Society are now
represented on the board of directors
by their presidents. This increase in
the board ought to prove of great value
to this society and contribute much
toward a liberal policy between the
clubs and the parent society.

The wisdom and success of having
the various minor organizations made
a sectional part of the 8. A. F. is no
, better exemplified than in the instance
of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery and
the consequent eflfects upon the parent
body. This organization has grown
immensely within the last four years.
Approximately 235 firms have joined
the Florists' Telegraph Delivery and
resultantly members of these firms are
also members of our national society.

The benefits from this important
branch of the flower business are not
retained by the retailer alone, but are
passed on through the various branches
to the humblest employee of the grower.
This certainly makes it worth while for
every retailer of standing to join and
receive the benefits of its workings and
also to assist the national association,
which ha.s helped materially in its
formation.

We ought to make every eflPort to
induce other clubs throughout the
country to become interested in this
movement.

I would ret-ommend that the consti-
tution be amended so that the members

before taking their seats on the board
of directors have the consent of the
majority of the club or society they
represent.

Publicity.

It is needless to point out the value
of publicity for the dissemination of
proper knowledge and educatinjr the
public in the more general use of horti-
cultural products.

It is necessary for the society to
organize a publicity bureau, whose
work would be along the lines of a
campaign, directed primarily for the
annual increase of the sale of flowers,
plants and plant products, througli now

REPORT ON SCHOOL GARDENS.

[The following is tlie report of Benjamin
Hammond, chairman of the committee on
school gardens, presented at the San Fran-
cisco convention August 17, 1915.]

Our country is so large that to na-
tionalize any movement is no small
work, and to hold the interest of all
sections in a particular work or object
is difficult. But there is one effort
that meets with almost universal ap-
preciation, and that is school garden-
ing.

The florists of this country are of a
trade that greatly helps to develop
beauty all around, and the Society of
American Florists is stimulating inter-
est in home gardening by teaching
gardening and floriculture in the
schools. Proofs come from many points
that the effort is having a helpful re-
sult.

This season our letter, sent to evorv

school board or school 8Uperiiitefl||k)nt
where a member of the S. A. F. is lo-
cated and to everv state commissioner
of education, contaii»i|| a picture of
the beautiful Washington statue and
surroundings at Grand avenue park,
Milwaukee, Wis. This picture, with
its spirit of emulation represented by
the mother directing her son's atten-
tion to Washington as an examj^Jle,
seemed to strike a chord of admiration.
From one place, where efforts were
made to interest the children in gar-
dening, a report came saying: "The
children want flower seeds, for the
flower beds started have set an ex-
ample. The demand is for geraniums,
coleus, dahlias and roses."

The newspapers of the country are
paying more heed to this flower gar-
den movement, and small yards of the
cities show the good results.

To a dark backyard, overshadowed
In- buildings, two boys invited us, to
see their garden. The youngsters had
dug up a bit of waste ground, planted
it, weeded and watered the ten or
dozen square feet until it looked like
an irrigated patch near Denver, Colo.,
so prolific it was. Those lads were
pleased. That kind of work helps de-
velop American citizens of character.

In many villages and small towns im-
provement societies exist, and these so-
cieties are usually excellent supporters
of the florists ' craft, directly arid in-
directly. Small prizes, well dis-
tributed, encourage the children to keep
up the home yards.

The Fl6riste''Rcvicw

Walter A. Hofingboff.

(Chairman Ladles' Entertainment for the San Francisco Convention.)

:\ SECSETABY'S REPORT.

[The following la the report of John Young,
secretary of the S. A. F., presented at the San
Francisco convention, August 17, 1915.]

At the time of our last conveBtion the
florists' trade, in common with many
other industries, was feeling the effect
of conditions brought about by the re-
grettable war precipitated in Europe,
and while these conditions have not
improved by any means, we have be-
come somewhat accustomed to them,
and we should congratulate ourselves
that business has not been much worse.
Some localities have felt the depression
more than others, while in other com-
munities business has been near to the
normal point. The cut flower section
has felt the decline perhaps more keen-
ly than other sections of the business,
but preparations for another season
have been pushed along in an at-
mosphere of cheerfulness, with the
hope that the business horizon will
clear before the end of the year.

Our trade exhibition has suffered this
year from causes beyond control. The
florists' supply trade has been unable
to make the usual showing, for the
reason that imported goods are just
now a poor possibility, and our own
manufacturers have not had time to
adjust themselves to circumstances, at
least as far as the production of nov-
elties in various lines is coDcerned.
Distance and cost of transportation to
San Francisco are other factors which
have tended to cut down our exhibits.
Notwithstanding, our trade exhibition
is this year most creditable, and the
interest it has provoked quite as strong
as at previous conventions.

Membership.

The bulk of our increase in mem-
bership is provided by California and
the other Pacific coast states. While
it is not unusual for the society to ex-
perience a large influx of members from
a convention city and nearby territory,
the business standing of those initiated
this year is extraordinarily high in the
aggregate, and your secretary hopes
this means that the names of these new
members will long remain on our mem-
bership roll, reminding us that their
interest in the society and its work was
not merely of a passing character.

THE LOCAL MANAQEMENT.

Congratulations are plentiful for the
local members of the trade in whose
hands were the arrangepients for the
convention. Although the 8. A. F. has
hitherto been a thing outside the ex-
perience of the city of San Francisco
and likewise of most of the florists
there, preparations were carried out
with skill worthy of the charter mem-
bers of the society from eastern cities.

Of course, the largest share of credit
goes to Daniel MacEorie, who has
worked steadily since his election to the
of&ce of vice-president a year ago, for
the success of the convention. His
addition of over 100 names to the mem-
bership list speaks volumes for his ef-
forts, and he has been equally energetic
in his activities in other lines in prep-
aration for the annual meeting. With
him, H. Plath and Angelo J. Rossi
formed the local advisory committee of
the S. A. F. The energy and enthu-
siasm shown by these leaders have also
been displayed by the other committee-
men, producing the results so much ap-
preciated by convention visitors. The
committee chairmen were as follows:

Executive — Daniel MacEorie.

Finance — H. Plath.

Garden — John McLaren.

Ladies' entertainm.ent — W. A. Hof-
inghoff.

Reception — J. R. Fotheringham.

Outing — A. J. Bossi.

SHALL try to treat this
subject from the standpoint
of secretary of the Florists-'
Telegraph Delivery, an as-
sociation which has done a
great deal of work in the
way of publicity. So far,
of course, every member has been do-
ing his or her share in their different
localities to draw their patrons' or
would-be patrons' attention to the tele-
graph or out-of-town service, and the
results gained in ' the last few years
have been much "beyoad expectation.

Must Indorse Florists.

This much for the introduction of
the points which I will bring out now.
If the florists throughout the country
can be indorsed in a national advertis-
ing campaign, drawing the public's at-
tention to the Florists' Telegraph De-
livery shops all over the country, and
the public impressed that F. T. D. not
only stands for telegraph orders, but
also for the best
service, promp test
pay, surest and most
honest delivery that
can be obtained in
the florists' trade of
today, ' much good
may be accomplished.

Immediately after
reading the above
lines you may think
that I am too much
F. T. D., but that is
not at all so. Just
remember that every
good retail florist in
the United States
and Canada has the
same right to join
the F. T. D. and work
with us, not alone for
his or our benefit,
but for the good of
the florists ' trade.

Today you may
consider the F. T. D.
a pretty good or-
ganization of the
sales department in
the florists' trade. If
you want to under-
take a national cam-
paign, you will have
to get a body of re-
tailers who are busi-
ness-like enough to
see the benefit of
such a campaign,
and who will get up
a fund to spend for
this advertising.
This fund must be
guaranteed before
any attempt to spend
it is made. This
campaign must go
through periodicals

A paper by Albert Pochelon, Secretary of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association, on "The
Necessity of National Publicity to Advance the
Interests of Ctouiinercial Floriculture in the
United States," presented at the San Francisco
convention of the Society of American Florists.

as well as thirough local daily papers.

For many years the relaying of or-
ders has been, you might say, limited
to steamer deliveries in New York and
to funeral work, but the day is here
when this relaying can be applied to
every occasion for which we sell flow-
ers in our shops.

Many a retailer has shipped flowers
from his town for 100 or more miles
and felt that he would rather make
the sale than relay the order. Has
he gained anything by so doing? No,
he has hurt the florists' trade. In al-
most every irf(fcance, these shipments
have arrived ^■fcrly, whereas, if the
man in the tjfjfKfStive town had made
the delivery, ^if[ patron would have^
received the tun value for his money,

Albert Pochelon.

and the florists' out-of-town service
would have been advertised.

Do not forget for one moment that
you may do $10,000 worth of advertis-
ing and then not be able to deliver the
goods right. In such case you will
do more harm than good to the florists'
trade. I therefore advise, first of all,
before any national advertising cam-
paign is begun, that the society ascer-
tain who can handle and deliver tl
goods the best and then back up
advertising. I should hate to thii
that an order sent 'by me to a broth^k^
florist in another town would not }^
handled as conscientiously as I woula
fill it myself. ^

Boost Trade, Not Self. ^

■' There is absolutely no doubt in my '
mind that our trade is still the least
advertised of many a trade. It seems
a great many retailers are waiting for
some one outside the trade to advertise
their goods, and you may rest assured
. . ., •,, they surely will have

a long wait.

If we had 500 re-
tailers about the
country like Henry
Penn and a few
others whom I could
name, who have spent
money on a large
scale for advertising
and yet have done it
cautiously, the whole
florists' trade would
gain a great deal.
But, instead of be-
ing thankful to such,
men, what do a great
many narrow, jealous
retailers dot They
knock, criticise, and
run down the many
advertising florists.
At the same time
they forget that if ,,
all the people the ad-
vertising florists have
made flower buyers
of should go back to
the advertisers ' shops
for everything they
need, they could not
handle the business.
Many a man and
woman have I in-
duced to use flowers
on their tables,' and
if all should come
and trade with me
alone, I could not
handle all the busi-
ness.

Let each retailer
make up his mind to "'
cultivate a want for
flowers on occasions
when people do not

LAW AND LEGISLATION.

[Tlie following Is the report of Wm. F. Gude,
cUairman of the committee on law and legisla-
tion, presented at tbe San Franclseo eonventton;
-Angrast 17, 1915T]

Perhaps the most important action
your committee was called upon to
take during the last year was in refer-
ence to the fall shipments of azaleas
and other Belgian plants, which are at
present under embargo by the British
authorities. These plants are exclu-
sively of Belgian origin and production,
and since the enemies of Great Britain
do not get any revenue or benefit from
their sale, it w^as felt that the embargo,
while not helping the British forces,
Ivould work considerable harm to the
Belgian shippers and the American im-
porting florists.

■ This matter was taken up with our
State department upon the request of
McHutchison & Co., New York. The
United States trade advisers informed
us how to proceed in the matter of se-
curing permits for the importation of
Azaleas^ etc., from the British authori-
ties, ant} wie have good reasons for be-
lievitig that these shipments will arrive
this fall on schedule time. Definite in-
formation will be given in the trade
papers as soon as an official decision is
rendered by the British authorities.

Express Bates.

Your committee had but two other
propositions referred to it during the
last year. One of these propositions
was brought up l)y J. A. Peterson, of
Cincinnati, O., who complained of the
classification of express rates in refer-
ence to plants shipped in pots and
pl^n^s shipped out of pots, insisting

that there should be a lower fating on
plants shipped in pots or tubs.

- The "matter wa^' promptly taken up
with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, and the commission, in turn, cor-
responded with the several transporta-
tion companies, requesting an expres-
sion of their views. After receiving all
the data that could be reasonably ob-
tained, including copies of the corre-
spondence Jaetween the Interstate Com-
merce Commission land the express com-
panies, your committee reached the con-
clusion that, as the express companies
seemed to be losing money on the pres-
ent rates, it "was an inopportune time
to attempt to bring about a reduction
of our rates. In other words, your
committee felt that it would be the
part of wisdom to "let well enough
alone, ' ' that an agitation of this mat-
ter at this time might result in our
rates being raised, rather than lowered,
under the authority given the Interstate
Commerce Commission by Congress, in
March last, to revise or change the ex-
press rates.

Subsequently; your committee re-
ceived notice from the Interstate Com-
inerce Commission that a hearing would
be given on the question of express
rates, May 26,- 1915. Feeling that the
florists should be represented, your com-
mittee had A. Leftwich Sinclair, an at-
torney, of Washington, D. C, appear at
^ this hearing, as counsellor our society.

In his reports Mr. Sinclair explains
the purpose and scope of the hearings
attended by him and points out the
procedure which will have to be fol-
lowed if our society wishes to obtain a

formal hearing on ^ question of the
rating of, plants. .Mir, Sinelair - sug-^
gests that, before fMng the necessary
petition with the lijperstate Commerce
Commission, our society should arrange
for a conference with the representa-
tives of the varioufl^xpress companies
with a view to an a4kcable adjustment
of this matter.

Boiler Bills.

The other question referred to your
committee relates to legislation con-
cening boiler inspeolion. It appears
that, from time to '^time, numerous
bills are introduced in the state legis-
latures to require the inspection and
regulation of boilers. It has been sug-
gested that, within the next year or so,
there will probably be a large number
of bills of this character introduced in
the state legislatures, and that our so-
ciety should provide machinery by
which we can resist the passage of leg-
islation which would work a hardship
on our industry.

As illustrating the vicious character
of some of these bills, your committee
is informed that, only a short time ago,
there was introducea in the legislature
of the state of Pennsylvania a bill re-
quiring every owner of a low pressure
heating boiler to pfi.yv$5 a year for the
inspection of that b#ler, if his boiler
should have over fou*feet of grate area
and carry over ten pounds of pressure.
Had that bill passed, every florist in
the state of Pennsylvania would have
been obliged to pay to that state the
sum of $5 a year, or more, depending
on the number of boilers in use.

Your committee is also informed that
there are statutes in force in several of
the states which provide that every
steam boiler carrying over ten pounds
of steam pressure niust be in charge of
a licensed engineer,> and that a move-
ment is on foot looking to the enact-
ment of similar laws throughout the
country.

All such propositions, in the opinion
of your committee, should be fought by
our society with all the force at its
command. ,,,-.

It is, therefore^ jecommended that
the scope of your committee be en-
larged, without delay,^' so that the com-
mittee can keep in t(^h with proceed-
ings of the state legislatures, as well
as those of Congress,' and be prepared
to resist the passage ef all bills found
to be detrimental to *the members of
our society. «

If the foregoing recommendation of
your committee is adopted, your com-
mittee should be authorized to arrange
for a reporting service of some kind,
and to employ counseVto represent the
society, whenever, it) jthe judgment of
your committee, the services of counsel
are required.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAI..

[The following is the report of Wm. F. Gude.
Washington representative of the S. A. F., pre-
sented at the San Francisco convention, August
17, 1915.]

The last year has been one of watch-
ful waiting rather than strenuous ac-
tion in the national capital, so far as
the interests of our society are con-
cerned. The demands on your represen-
tative there have not been excessive,
from which I assume that the florists
of the country have no fault to find
with the laws enacted by Congress dar-
ing the year.

In" the early part of the winter a
communication was received by your
representative in which objection was
raised to the classification of express
rates on potted plants and plants not
in pots. Another communication was
received, relating to bills introduced
in the state legislatures providing for
the inspection and regulation of steam
boilers. Both of these communications
were referred to the committee on leg-
islation and will, doubtless, be dealt
with by that committee in its annual
report.

The most important event of the
year, both locally and nationally, was
the formal dedication of the rose gar-
dens at Arlington Farms, June 2,
1915. Some fifty florists came from
different cities, as far away as Boston,
to be present at the ceremonies.

A meeting of the American Rose So-
ciety was called in the rooms of the
American Institute of Banking, on F
street, Washington, D. C, where the
entire party met, on the date men-
tioned, at 1 p. m. After this meet-
ing, the party went in automobiles to
the Arlington Farms, three miles away,
in a downpour of rain. Whil^ the gar-
dens were in full bloom and showed
up well, the drenching rain storm,
which had lasted three days, had a de-
pressing effect on the general beauty of
the gardens.

After viewing the gardens, the party
returned to the city, where the formal
dedication took place. Interesting ad-
dresses were made at the dedication
by officers of the national governmehl,
the president of the rose society and
others.

Eric James.

(Chairman AdTcrtlstDK Committee for the San Francisco ConTentlon.)

After the dedicatory exercises had
been concluded, the party went by au-
tomobiles to Twin Oaks, the home of
Mrs. Charles J. Bell, daughter of the
late Mrs. Gardner G. Hubbard, donor
of the Gardner Hubbard memorial
medal. Mrs. Bell had extended a kind
invitation to the party to inspect her
rose gardens. The party was most
cordially received by Mrs. Bell. After
the inspection of Mrs. Bell's gardens,
refreshments were served. An hour
and a half was pleasantly and profit-
ably spent at Mrs. Bell's beautiful
home, after which the party returned
to the city, and left for their homes.
The affair was voted a big success and
one of the most interesting events in
the annals of floriculture and horticul-
ture.

I am pleased to state that the pride
taken in the S. A. F. by the florists
of the national capital is surpassed by
no other city in the Union, and is at-
tested by the presence here today of
nearly a dozen members of this so-
ciety from Washington, 3,000 miles
away.

BEPOBT ON NATIONAL SHOW.

FThe following Is the report of George Asmus,
cbairman of the National Flower Show commit-
tee, presented at the San Francisco convention,
Aagnat 17, 1015.]

Since making my last report, at the
convention in Boston a year ago, mat-
ters pertaining to the show in Philadel-
phia next spring have progressed rapid-
ly and favorably. At a meeting held
in Philadelphia last November, the gen-
eral local organization work was
drafted and chairmen of committees

carefully selected. They are as fol-
lows:

Press, publicity and advertising — W. P. Ther-
kildson.

Securing exhibits— William Kleinhelnz.

Decorations — John Habermebl.

Special premiums — Wm. P. Craig.

Special features— Chas. Grakeiow.

Lease and contracts — A. Farenwald.

Music — Leo Nlessen.

PrlnUng- S. S. Pennock.

Concessions — Henry F. Mictiell.

Trade tickets — E. Fancourt.

I/ectures — J. Otto Thilow.

Bureau of information — Frederick Cowper-
thwalte.

Secretary and treasurer — A. A. Nlessen.

Committee-at-large — George Burton, Lonis
Burk. Robert Craig.

Good Work Already Done.

These gentlemen appointed from
among the craft in Philadelphia others
to serve on these committees. The
chairmen of these committees form
what is known as a local executive
committee to carry out in detail the
work of the show. Such committees
have met from time to 'time, about
once a month, and are enthusiastic
about the coming exhibition. Through
the generosity of the H. F. Michell
Co, and H. A. Dreer, Inc., the grass
plots in front of the big Convention
hall, where the show is to be held, have
been beautifully planted and serve as
an advance notice of what will happen
in the near future in the building.
There recently appeared in the Phila-
delphia Record a half-page illustrated
write-up, showing the building, front
and grounds, as treated by the above
mentioned firms. This shows the good
work that is being done by the publicity
bureau, of which W. F. Therkildson is
the head.

I also wish to mention the good work

of Adolph Farenwald and the commit-
tee on lease and contracts. By their
earnest efforts the rental for this mam-
moth building has been reduced to the
low rate of $100 per day. We have
been able to secure the cooperation of
the American Carnation Society. As
1916 will be the twenty-fifth year since
its organization, the society will cele-
brate its silver jubilee at Philadelphia
in connection with the show. Its pre-
mium list has been prepared and, under-
written by the society, will be pub-
lished in the next edition of the sched-
ule, which will go out sometime next
fall. By this time the American Bose
Society will have its list completed and
it will also be a part of the next sched-
ule.

Preparations Extensive.

The plant growers, of whom there
are so many in the vicinity of Phila-
delphia, are already making prepara-
tions. The Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society has also joined hands, and has
appointed a committee of three to work
in conjunction with and act as part of
the local executive committee. The
guaranteed fund of $10,000 has been
completed, and contains the usual
country-wide list of guarantors.

William P. Craig, chairman of com-
mittee on special premiums, reports a
large list of donors, and expects in
the near future to more than double
what he now has.

The size of the building, which will
enable all of the show to be on one
floor, should prove favorable, and the
large balcony, with its great seating
capacity, will appeal to the public, as
it seems to delight the patrons to sit
among the flowers and listen to the
music.

The installation of heat for the
building has been cared for and will
be at a normal cost. The total pre-
mium list, as offered, is $15,000, the
largest sum ever offered in this country
at a flower show. ^

I will conclude my report by saying
that in my estimation the coming ex-
hibition at Philadelphia will, from all
standpoints, eclipse anything ever be-
fore attempted in this country, and I
have no doubts about the financial sue*
cess. The fact that the annual con-
vention of the society is not held in
the east this year will no doubt help
to sell space at the National Flower
Show, as the records of previous ex-
hibitions show that the attendance of
the trade at past exhibitions has been
greater than at the convention, and it
is at a season of the year when the
buyer is usually in the market for sup-
plies for his spring or Easter business.

Atchison, Kan, — The Groves Floral
Co. has engaged Edward F. Kliem as
grower. He was formerly with the
Stuppy Floral Co. and E. V. Myers, of
St. Joseph, Mo.

Bacine, Wis. — R. E. Miller and his
wife, proprietors of the Bacine Floral
Co., are enjoying a two weeks' visit
with relatives in Beloit. They have an
establishment that is of metropolitan
modernity in every detail.

Thawville, HL — Fred Townsend be-
lieves florists and nurserymen should
practice what they preach and has
planted his home grounds in a manner
that makes his residence one of the
show places of the town. The bedding
occupies practically every foot of space.

MAKING CONVENTION

GARDENS PERMANENT

|HERE can be no question as
to the importance and de-
sirability of arranging for
convention gardens wher-
ever our annual meetings
are to be held. The use-
fulness and value of such
gardens as a medium of publicity and
education will not be doubted by any-
one who gives the subject due con-
sideration.

Question for Local Promoters.

There is, to the best of my knowl-
edge and belief, no great difficulty in
establishing such a garden for each
convention, and the only real problem,
it seems to me, is to make it per-
manent. This necessarily is a question
which, in the main, must be solved
by the local promot-
ers of the garden.
The same spirit that
was employed in its
creation should be
able to solve the
question ot *its fu-
ture existence, per-
manency and growth.

I have, in the past,
presented the ques-
tion whether or not
it would be possible
to select the conven-
tion city two years
in advance, instead
of one, in order to
provide for t y o
years' growth of the
hardy material which
could be used to ad-
vantage in the plant-
ing of the garden.

Personally, I wish
this could be done,
because I realize the
great and enduring
benefits that would
accrue, and I be-
lieve that all plants-
men will agree with
me. There can be no
doubt that the value
of the gardens, from
every point of view,
would be greatly en-
hanced by this addi-
tional time given
them in preparation,
and that the interest
of professionals and
the public alike, be-
fore and after, as
well as during the
convention, would be
correspondingly in-
creased.

However, if this
plan is not deemed
feasible, there is still
one advantage open
with the present ar-
rangement, which has
not been made use of

A paper by Theodore Wlrth, of Minneapolis,
on "The Problems Attending the Establishment
of Permanent Convention Gardens," presented at
the San Francisco convention of the Society of
American Florists.

in our past undertakings along this
line.

If our brother florists and horticul-
turists of the city ambitious of secur-
ing the next convention are anxious to
have the best garden thus far made,
they will select a piece of land for
that purpose far in advance, and will
submit a well arranged plan to the
convention at which they make their
bid for the next meeting. If they
land the prize, they should prepare the
grounds at once, and secure without de-
lay all planting material that can be
transplanted to advantage in the fall.

Theodore Wlrth.

(The Man .Who Made the Minneapolis Garden.)

In this way, most of the perennials,
shrubs and trees will be well estab-
lished in the spring, and make a good
showing at convention time.

Concentrate Control.

Early solicitation among prospective
exhibitors is, for many reasons, abso-
lutely necessary, A time limit should
be set for allotment of space in the
garden, and the special attention of
such prospective exhibitors must be
called to this. All space not applied for
by a certain date should then be offered
to nearby and local growers with a
slightly extended time limit. This limit
should be set so as to give the com-
mittee in charge an opportunity to se-
cure suitable planting material for fill-
ing the unsold spaces in the garden in
good time.

It is absolutely
necessary, in my
opinion, to give the
committee in charge
of the garden all
necessary power and
means, and to concen-
trate the actual di-
rection and super-
vision in one active
experienced, depend-
able man. Tell this
nian to go ahead, and
then do not interfere
with him, but give
him all the assistance
he needs when he
asks for it. I believe
it would be a good
investment, generally
speaking, to send him
on a two months'
trip to visit person-
ally the principal
growers in all parts
of the country for
the purpose of solicit-
ing exhibits. Let
him start right at
the convention. The
right man will there-
by awaken the gen-
eral interest of the
trade and secure the
desired support. Cor-
respondence would
not be nearly so ef-
fective.

I cannot lay too
much stress on the
necessity of giving
all exhibits the best
possible attention
and care, and of
guarding the inter-
ests of the exhibitor
in every possible
way. Be sure that
he gets the space he
bought, that his
plants are properly
labeled, and his
firm's name is prop-

erly displayed. Give him all he is en-
titled to and as much more as you can.

It is too much to expect that many
distant firms will keep up their exhib-
its s^ter the convention year. Yet
some of the wide-awake and progress-
ive growers will undoubtedly be glad
to make use of our gardens permanent-
ly and thus exhibit their goods and
special novelties in different parts of
the country at the same time. In
most instances it will, therefore, be-
come desirable and necessary, after the
first year, to change the layout of the
garden and to devote the larger part
of the grounds to hardy material, and
a much smaller portion to the tender
annual bedding plants.

This we have done at Minneapolis
and the new layout will be as beautiful
and instructive to our people from now
on as the real convention garden was
to us professionals two years ago.

Under Society's Auspices.

The convention garden must, in my
opinion, always be created and main-
tained under the auspices of the na-
tional society. The price for space
should, if at all possible, be the same
wherever the garden is, and should be
high enough to defray the expense of
maintenance. The chairman of the
local garden committee should be ap-
pointed a member of a similar commit-
tee of the S. A. F., and as such could
act as the executive officer of both"
committees.

The garden should be located on pub-
lic land, in order to make its future ex-
istence possible, and I know of no good
reason why every city park administra-
tion should not be not only willing,
but really anxious, to cooperate with
us in the establishment of such trial
and exhibition grounds, which cannot
help being of educational value to the
people of their city.

Our esteemed president, Patrick
Welch, has assigned to me the subject
herein presented, but I am not sure
that I have covered the ground to his
entire satisfaction. There are really
no great problems, no great obstacles,
that I can see, attending the establish-
ment of permanent convention gardens,
and I believe that if the old saying,
"Where there's a will, there's a way,"
is applied at all times, there can never
be any doubt as to our ability to
establish such conventidn gardens wher-
ever we may go, and to make them
successful in every instance.

ENTOMOLOGIST'S REPORT.

[The following is the report of Dr. W. E. Brit-
ton, entomologist of the S. A. V., presented at
the San Francisco convention. August 17, 1915.]

All who have been troubled by the
chrysanthemum leaf-miner, or marguer-
ite fly, Phytomyza chrysanthemi Ko-
warz., should obtain bulletin- No. 157
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, Amherst, Mass., is-
sued recently.

For the last twenty-five years this
insect has caused damage to composite
plants in the northern states. The
adult is a 2-winged fly which lays an
egg in an incision just under the epi-
dermis of the leaf. This egg hatches
* in five days, and the larva mines in
the parenchyma of the leaf for about
two weeks, when it transforms to the
pupa stage inside the leaf. Two weeks
later the adult emerges. There are ten
generations each year.

Spraying the plants with nicotine so-

lution is a remedy. If Black Leaf 40
is the kind used, it should be diluted
at the rate of about one part in 400
parts of water, or roughly two tea-
spoonfuls in a gallon.

Another chrysanthemum pest new to
our continent is the chrysanthemum
midge, a European insect which has re-
cently caused much damage in some
large commercial greenhouses in Mich-
igan. The presence of this insect was
recorded by Dr. E. P. Felt, state en-
tomologist of New York, in the Flo-
rists ' Exchange, Vol. XXXIX, page 856,
April 10, 1915. It causes a swelling on
the main stem near the surface of the
ground, galls or enlargements on the
midribs of the leaves, and close, ill-
shaped heads, which ruin the plant for
commercial purposes. It will probably
be difficult to control this pest.

Further injury to chrysanthemums
may be here recorded by a mite, Tar-
sonemus pallidus Banks, mentioned in
my report of last year. This time it
occurred in October in a commercial
greenhouse at Hartford, Conn., and
many of the petals had withered and
turned brown.

New Pest on Pines.

During the last year one of the de-
structive European sawflies, Diprion
(Lophyrus) simile Hartig, has been
found in this country, where it has
apparently become established. The in-
sect passes the winter in its cocoon
on or under leaves and rubbish near
the ground. There are apparently three
broods each year in Connecticut, the
cocoons of the first and second broods
often being formed on the twigs. The
larva; are about an inch long, green-
ish yellow with brown markings, and
have the appearance characteristic of
sawfly larvae. They feed upon the
needles of several species of ^ine, in-
cluding the white pine, Austrian pine,
Pinus densiflora, ,P. excelsa and P.
flexilis. It will doubtless be found to
attack other species as well.

The eggs are laid in longitudinal in-
cisions in the needles and are placed
end to end.

The cocoons are brown oval bodies
about three-eighths of an inch long and
of a tough, leathery texture.

The adults have a wing-spread of
from about half an inch in the male to
three-fourths of an inch in the female.
The male is black, but the female has
yellow thorax and abdomen.

Though this insect occurs in four
towns in Connecticut, it will probably
be found in other states. Just how it
was brought to this country is not
known, but probably cocoons came over
on nursery stock and either passed the
inspectors or perhaps came in before
the inspection system was established.
Parasites of this sawfly have been ob-
served in Connecticut. Spraying the
pine trees with lead arsenate, three
pounds in fifty gallons of water, is the
best remedy.

A preliminary illustrated account of
this insect may be found in the Journal
of Economic Entomology, Vol. 8, page
379, June, 1915.

Juniper Web Worm.

Several samples have been received
by the writer of juniper twigs webbed
together by a juniper web worm. On
rearing the adult, it proved to be Dich-
romerus marginellus Fahr. Dr. E. P.
Felt has recorded this insect from (Long
Island and from the Hudson river val-

ley in New York state. This is also a
£Juropean species which has appeared in
the United States during the last few
years. The real damage from it will
be in ornamental plantings in parks and
on private grounds, and doubtless may
be prevented by a thorough spraying of
lead arsenate early in spring and again
late in summer.

REPORT ON SMITH MEMORIAL.

[The following Is the report of Wm. F. Gude,
chairman of the committee on the Wm. R. Smith
memorial, presented at the San Francisco con-
vention, August 17, 1915.]

On account of the general depression
in business all over the United States
and further on account of various other
disturbances throughout the world,
which affect us generally, the memorial
committee thought best not to push
the project during the last year.

Your committee feels hopeful of re-
ceiving some good sums from influen-
tial citizens and a liberal support from
the Congress of the United States.

Your committee has not decided what
form of a memorial to suggest, as their
decision will no doubt be largely gov-
erned by the amount of subscriptions
collected and government influence that
they may be able to secure.

Columbus, O. — H. C. Phelps is to erect
a range of greenhouses at his country
place near here.

WUting, Ind. — Louis E. Klemm and
his wife, of the Klemm Greenhouses,
have returned from a most delightful
trip through Virginia. Mrs. Klemm,
who was recently quite ill, is now mak-
ing an uninterrupted recovery.

Kenosha, Wis. — Louis Turner & Sons
have moved into their new location in
the Flatiron building. They now have
one of the most up-to-date stores in the
state. All decorations are in white.
The store was formally opened August
14, when, it is estimated, 5,000 people
passed through its doors, each lady re-
ceiving an American Beauty rose and
each gentleman a carnstio« as a sou-
venir.

THE ALLIED SOCIETIES

TELEGRAPH DELIVERY.

The by-laws of the Florists' Tele-
graph Delivery provide that its mem-
bers must also be members of the S. A.
F. and that the annual meeting shall
be held on the Wednesday of the S. A.
F. convention and in the same city, the
oflficers elected holding until their suc-
cessors are selected. In the absence of
the president, Vice-president Gude
called the San Francisco meeting to
order, with an attendance of 26 msm-
bers. The report of the secretary was
presented, for inclusion in the 8. A. F.
book of Proceedings for 1915. The list
of members appears as a page adver-
tisement, corrected to August 1.5, in
this issue of The Review.

OflScers were elected as follows:

President — Irwin Bertermann, Indi-
anapolis, Ind.

Vice-president — W. F. Gude, Wash-
ington, D. C,

Secretary — Albert Pochelon, Detroit,
Mich.

Treasurer — Wm. L. Rock, Kansas
City, Mo.

New directors — F. Pelicano, San
Francisco; A. Lange, Chicago; Frank
Stuppy, St. Joseph, Mo.

After a long discussion of amend-
ments to the by-laws, it was recom-
mended that satisfactory references be
required from new members and that
any member refusing to pay bills be
stricken from the list promptly and
members notified.

There will be meetings of the board
of directors at Cleveland in November
and at Philadelphia in March, at which
the attendance of members of the asso-
ciation will be urged.

LADIES' S. A. F.

In recent years the second evening
of convention week has been set aside
for the annual reception by the Ladies'
S. A. F., which has become one of the
chief social features of the biggest
trade gathering, but this year the recep-
tion was omitted because of the small
attendance of active members, most of
whom live in the east. The president,
Mrs. Gude, of Washington, was present,
as was the vice-president, Mrs. Asmus,
of Chicago.

In opening the annual business ses-
sion, held on the morning of August 18,
at San Francisco, President Mrs. Gude
said: "It is with much pleasure that
I welcome you to this, the ninth annual
session of the Ladies' 8. A. F., and I
extend to you all a cordial and heartfelt
greeting. We are assembled here to
consider the work of the past year and
to make plans for the future. May our
deliberations be guided by wisdom and
may this session be so filled with good
work that nothing will mar the har-
mony of the occasion. May our expe-
rience help us to improve our present
opportunities. Keeping in mind at all
times the saying that it is good for
men to dwell together in unity, and
practicing that, it is even better for
women to meet and confer together in
harmony, sincerity and devotion to our
cause, assisting the men in their able
calling by enabling us to make them
brighter and happier by the inspiring

influences gathered at these meetings.
And so when we return to our homes
from this convention may we all feel
better and happier for having met, re-
freshed in health and spirit and better
enabled to pursue our duties for the
coming year. May good health, happi-
ness and prosperity ever abide with
you. ' '

The report of the secretary, Mrs.
Maynard, of Detroit, showed the society
to be stronger in membership than ever
before, and the report of the treasurer
gave evidence of a good financial posi-
tion.

Officers were elected as follows:

President — Mrs. John Vallance, Oak-
land, Cal.

Vice-president — Mrs. W. W. Coles,
Kokomo, Ind.

Second vice-president — Mrs. Robert
C. Kerr, Houston, Tex.

Secretary — Mrs. George W. Smith,
Cleveland, O.

Treasurer — Mrs. A. M. Herr, Lancas-
ter, Pa.

Special committee — Mrs. J. G. Hai»-
cock, chairman.

FLORISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION.

The secretary's report compiled for
the meeting of the Florists' Hail Asso-
ciation at San Francisco, August 19,
showed the organization to be continu-
ing its flourishing career, having added
over a million feet to the amount of
glass insured and over $2,500 to its
reserve fund. The association now car-
ries insurance on an equivalent of 40,-
411,003 square feet of glass, and has
1,621 members. The cash balance on
hand is .$36,730.12, of which $1,713.90
belongs to the reserve fund. The re-
mainder of the reserve fund, $34,000, is
invested in bonds. During the year
the association paid $5,513.80 for an
equivalent of 110,276 square feet of sin-
gle thick glass, and $13,771.28 for an
equivalent of 196,733 square feet of
double thick glass. There are a num-
ber of unadjusted losses on hand, proofs
of which had not arrived at the time
of the report.

The officers of the association are:
President, E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind.;
vice-president, J. F. Ammann, Edwards-
ville, 111.; secretary, John G. Esler, Sad-
dle River, N. J., and treasurer, Joseph
Heacock, Wyncote, Pa.

The treasurer's report for the year
showed the following:

President Hill called the San Fran-
cisco meeting to order and made an in-
formal report on the Wilcox loss at
Council Bluffs, which he had inspected
on his way to the coast. This is by far
the largest loss the Hail Association
ever has sustained and will approximate
$16,000, but its payment will not in
any way impair the strength of the as-
sociation or the confidence the trade
reposes in it. Secretary Esler was
present.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

In the absence of President Pen-
nock and Vice-president Reuter, ex-
President W. R. Pierson called the mid-
summer meeting of the American Rose
Society to order at San Francisco this
week. The attendance of members was
light, but Secretary Hammond was on
hand with all the official records.
Robert Pyle, virbo has two strings to his
bow, the rose and the canna, also came
on from West Grove, Pa. He cherishes
two ambitions for the Rose Society;
the development of its chain of test
gardens and the extension of its mem-
bership among the amateur rose lovers,
for both of which he works at every op-
portunity. The secretary's records show
the Rose Society to be making steady
progress. Thirty new members, mostly
amateur, have been added during the
year, but the organization still is large-
ly professional, 160 out of its 260 mem-
bers growing rosesi for a profit. The
society has $3,250 in its permanent
fund, safely invested, and $1,000 in its
general fund. The showing is all the
better from the fact that when Wm. C.
Barry proposed making Mr. Hammond
secretary the societv was in debt to
exhibitors, for premiums unpaid. The
secretary keenly feels the need of liter-
ature with which to keep the society in
touch with its members, especially the
amateurs. A quarterly bulletin will cost
$500 or more per year, in addition to
the work in preparing and distributing

it.

The Rose Society will hold its next
meeting at Cleveland in November and
its annual meeting at Philadelphia in
March.

PARK SUPERINTENDENTS.

The American Association of Park
Superintendents, Gustav X. Amrhyn
president and R. W. Cotterill secretary,
selected the same date and place as the
S. A. F. for its convention this year,
and its members are participating in
the S. A. F. meetings and entertain-
ments as well as having a program of
their own. The opening session was
Wednesday morning. Papers are being
eliminated to give time for sightseeing.
August 22 the park men go in a body
to San Diego.

The by-laws were amended to re-
classify the membership and to require
five years' experience for senior mem-
bers. The admission fee was raised to
$10.

NATIONAL GABDENEBS.

The National Association of Garden-
ers, of which John W. Everitt, Glen
Cove, N. Y,, is president, and M. C.
Ebel, of Madison, N. J., is secretary, is
holding its annual convention in con-
nection with that of the S. A. F. this
year. The attendance is small and the
interest is in the multitude of examples
of good gardening to be seen in the vi-
cinity rather than in discussions in the
meeting hall.

AMEBICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.

The American Gladiolus Society ordi-
narily has held its annual meeting in
connection with that of the S. A. F.,
but this year decided that it was in-
expedient to do so. Most of the mem-
bership and all of the officers are in
the east and it is, of course, impossible
to ship cut blooms across the country
to San Francisco. Consequently the
society voted to hold its annual meet-
ing this year at Nei/i^ort, B. I., open-
ing August 18. It w^'^arly apparent
that the Newport shoiv would be the
largest and most interesting thus far
held by the society. In addition to the
usual number of large trade exhibits,
the show this year brought out exhibits
from a large number of private gar-
deners of the Newport district.

OHIO GLADIOLUS SHOW.

Entries Many and Good.

The third annual flower show of the
Gladiolus Society of Ohio, held August
13 and 14 at the Hollenden hotel, Cleve-
land, attracted the gladiolus experts of
the central states to this flower show
and convention city. Their entries, all
of high quality, totaled 142, twice the
number at last year's exhibition.

In addition to the vases of the gladi-

olus men, there were the various dis-
plays of the Cleveland retailers to ex-
cite comment and admiration and also
the notable exhibit of Fordhook hybrids
of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. These
blooms, containing some rare and re-
markable shadings and colors, were de-
clared by the judges, F. W. Griffin, of
Cleveland, and W. C. Werner, of Paines-
ville, to be worthy of special mention.

The Cleveland retailers put the flower
of the exhibition to splendid use in
their various displays. Table decora-
tions were exhibited by Knoble Bros.,
Smith & Fetters Co., James Eadie Co.,
Jones-Russell Co., J. M. Gasser Co. and
Westman & Getz. Basket arrangements
were shown by A. M. Albrecht, Knoble
Bros., J. M. Gasser Co., Jones-Russell
Co., Westman & Getz, James Eadie Co.,
D. Charlesworth & Son and Ohio Floral
Co. Knoble Bros, exhibited a corsage
bouquet, and A. M. Albrecht a bride's
bouquet.

An exhibit of asters was made by C.
Betscher, of Canal Dover, and one of
asters and centaureas by the Carl
Hagenburger Co., of West Mentor. Gen-
eral displays of gladioli were made by
the following:

A. H. Austin Co., Wayland, 0.
C. Betscher, Canal Doyer, O.
Bldwell & Fobes, Kinsman, O.
Joe Coleman Co., Lexington, O.
' Madison Cooper, Calcium, N. Y.

The Prlze-Winners.

The quality of the vases entered for
premiums was excellent, and the unus-
ually large number of entries made the
prize-winning standard high. The so-
ciety's certificate of merit awarded for
seedlings or other varieties never be-
fore shown at the society's exhibition
was won by the A. H. Austin Co. on
three varieties and by Jacob Thomann

& Sons on one. The awards in the re-

OBITUARY

Thomas A. Ivey.

Thomas A, Ivey, of Thomas A. Ivey
& Sons, Ltd., Port Dover, Ont., was
killed Saturday night, August 14, in a
collision between the tazicab in which
he was riding and a locomotive. The
automobile had all but cleared the rail-
road tracks, at a crossing in Port Dover,
when its left rear guard was struck by
the locomotive. Mr. Ivey was hurled
against a post, and then on to the side-
walk. When the train was stopped and
the automobile moved, he was found be-
neath the car. He was alive, but so
seriously injured that he died shortly
after arriving at the city hospital.

The dieceased was 68 years of age,
and well known throughout Canada.
The home and business establishment
is at Port Dover, but Mr. Ivey carried
on a wholesale and retail business at
Montreal, Hamilton, Hazelwood and
Brantford.

Mr. Ivey is survived by his wife, four
sons and three daughters. The sons,
John, T. L. B., Harry W. and Benson A.,
were associated with Mr. Ivey in his
business. The daughters are Mrs. Joseph
Lambe, Mrs. M. E. Howell and Miss
Ida M. Ivey, all of Port Dover.

W. G. P.

John Macdill Clark.

John Macdill Clark, secretary of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, died at his
home, 5954 West Huron street, early
Sunday morning, August 15. About
three weeks ago he suffered from what
he was pleased to term a touch of
ptomaine poisoning, but he could not
be constrained to regard the matter in
a serious light and was back at his
desk in a day or two. The afternoon of
August 10, however, he experienced
Buch severe pains that he was prevailed
upon to go home. The night of August
12 he underwent an operation at the
West Suburban hospital and the attend-
ing physicians declared there was prac-
tically no hope of recovery. Contrary
to expectations, Mr. Clark seemed to
rally wonderfully and up to late Au-
gust 14 there seemed some possibility
of his overcoming the strain, but by
midnight he began to lose ground rap-
idly and died about 5 o'clock. Death
was due to an ulceration of the stomach.

Mr. Clark was born in Kirkcudbright,
Scotland, May 8, 18'60. He came to
this country with - his parents at the
age of 7 years and lived near New
York city, receiving his education in
the public schools. He first -worked
for the clothing firm of Brooks Bros.,
New York, but soon left this position
for one with the seed house of Cowan
& Co., New York. After this he worked
successively for the Robert Buist Co.,
of Philadelphia, and Vaughan's Seed
Store, of Chicago, until January 1,
1885, when he cast his lot with S. F.
Leonard, then starting in business for
himself. When the Leonard Seed Co.
was incorporated in 1891, he was chosen
to be secretary. This oflSce he held at
the time of his death.

For many years Mr. Clark had been
prominent in the seed trade as an ex-
pert in types, possessing rare qualifica-
tions for his peculiar work, and bring-
ing a practical knowledge and exper-
ience to bear on the subject that gained

for him a high place in the esteem and
confidence of seed trade and agricul-
tural circles. He was a member of the
farmers' institute of the eighth con-
gressional district, and for several years
had been one of its directors. His
business associates pay him the respect
of stating that to his even temper, his
untiring efforts and close attention to
detail, together with his efficient co-
operation with the rest of the organiza-
tion, is due to no small extent the un-
faltering advance of the house. In his
more than thirty years' connection with
the company there has never been a
moment of friction. His associates will
not try to fill his place; they will merely
learn to do without him.

Mr. Clark is survived by his wife
and three children, James, Leonard and
Margaret Clark, all of Chicago. The
funeral services were at the home Tues-
day, August 17, and interment was in
Forest Home cemetery. There were
many flowers.

Ellas Q. Fiihren.

Elias G. Fuhren, who operated a
range of greenhouses for many years on
Wilkes avenue, near Violetville, Balti-
more, Md., died August 10 at the age
of 62 at his home, 1823 Frederick ave-
nue, Baltimore. He is survived by his
wife, two sons and two daughters.

Fred B. Barrington.

Many members of the trade, es-
pecially in eastern Massachusetts, will
deeply regret to hear of the death of
Fred B. Barrington, who for the last
twenty-five years had conducted a store

in Gloucester, Mass. His death oc-
curred August 13. He had the leading
flower business in his city and was well
known in Boston wholesale circles.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Toledo, O. — Frank H. Foster, assignee
of the bankrupt Art Floral & Decorat-
ing Co., has ■ sent out checks to the
company's creditors in payment of a
first and final dividend of fourteen
and one-half per cent. A receiver was
appointed for the company May 26
upon suit of the State Bank of Oak
Park, which had obtained judgment on
a note against the concern for $612.40.
The head of the company, which was
incorporated in 1912, was Samuel Graff,
who, with Nate Lewis as his partner,
conducts the Art Floral Co., at 7 West
Monroe street, Chicago.

Randolph, Mass. — Marcus L. Tirrell

filed a petition in bankruptcy August

9, scheduling liabilities of $454 and no
assets.

Webb City, Mo. — The recent failure
of J. E. Meinhart was incidental to
the closing of the Mineral Beet bank,
which held Mr. Meinhart 's paper for
several thousand dollars. In reality,
the bankruptcy was forced by state
order. The greenhouses and personal
property of Mr. Meinhart were sold
at mortgagee sale. All collections were
transferred to A. D. Hatten, representa-
tive of the defunct bank 's stockholders.

Punxsutawney, Pa. — Robert M. Camp-
bell is building an addition to his
greenhouse.

Francisco; secretary, John Young, 53 W. 28th
St., New York City; treasurer, W. F. Kastlng,

Thirty-second annual convention, Houston,

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Have something to smile about — and
smile. Nobody wants to buy flowers of a
grouch.

Grow good stock and income is as-
sured; the success of the business then
will depend on the ability with which the
money is handled.

Taking the summer business by and
large, the trade has small reason for dis-
satisfaction, especially in the middle
west. Nearly everywhere the production
of stock has been unusually large and
little has gone to waste.

If there was a flood of gladiolus
blooms last year, some stronger adjective
is needed to describe the inundation of
the present season. It is without prece-
dent. And yet, most of the stock finds
a sale at some price; there seems an un-
limited outlet.

The rains have given the growers some-
thing to think about. Carnations are af-
fected by a rust and roses never had so
much mildew as this season; indeed, the
atmosphere has been so saturated for so
long a time that, over a considerable
part of the country, growers find them-
selves confronting problems that are
wholly new.

It is figured that, the embargo holding
effective, lily of the valley will begin to
shorten in supply about January 1, with
a real scarcity developing as spring ap-
proaches. Some dealers have a six
months' supply. The Danish crop will
nearly all come to America, with a little
from Holland, but it will be only a frac-
tion of the usual imports from Hamburg.

HONORABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Eeview $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:

TWO years

Stoll & Bro., Brooklyn, Md.
Stoeckle, A., Watertown, N. Y.
Adgate & Son, Warren, O.
Beckett, C. L., Co., Peabody, Mass.
Opellka Floral Co.. Opellka, Fla.
Sands. Murray, Jackson. Tenn.
Carpenter. Wm.. Des Moines, la.
tiershey. Harley L.. Louisville, O.

The Eeview stc^e coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

QETTING THE AZALEAS.

With reference to the British em-
bargo on the exportation of Belgian
products via Rotterdam to America, the
American Consul General at London
cabled the State department at Wash-
ington August 10:

Referring to the Department's communication
of July 9, export of azaleas from Belgium per-
mitted only on condition no payment until end
of hostile occupation or payment to bank In
Kngland on undertaking from bank that no money
will be withdrawn except under license. I sug-
gest that if payments are thus made, licenses
to remit limited amounts to Belgium for per-
sonal support or Imperative business neces-
sities will probably be granted occasionally.

Apparently the English government
intends to prevent money becoming ac-
cessible to its enemies, but will not
otherwise interfere with Belgian ex-
ports. It remains to be seen what will
be the attitude of the German civil ad-
ministration in Belgium under the cir-
cumstances. Will it permit the export
of merchandise to be paid for in Eng-
land?

THE VOTE WAS JUSTIFIED.

When a majority of one vote sent
the Society of American Florists from
Boston, in 1914, clear across the conti-
nent, to San Francisco for the 1915
convention, there were some who con-
sidered it too long a jump. Perhaps it
was, for individuals, but The Review
was not of those who considered it so
for the organization. It must be re-
membered that money-making is no
part of the objects of the society.

To advance the love of floriculture and horticul-
ture In America; to promote and encourage the
development of their industries; to classify their
products; to hold meetings and exhibitions; to co-
operate witli the national and state governments
nnd horticultural bodies in disseminating horti-
cultural knowledge.

That is the way the constitution
phrases the purposes of the organiza-
tion and certainly these objects have
been well furthered by holding the con-
vention in San Francisco his week.

In no way has the society suffered
save through decreased receipts from
the sale of space in the trades' display.
The promptness with which the mem-
bers for 1914 have paid the dues for
1915 has been an evidence of the
strength of the S. A. F. as well as a
tribute to the indefatigability of its
secretary. July 30, 1914, the society
had a total cash balance of $30,192.40,
while by July 30, 1915, this had in-
creased to $32,390.46. Surely, the so-
ciety was in a position to forego its
usual profit from the trades ' display for
the sake of breaking new ground — and
that it was fertile soil is shown by the
fact that Vice-president MacRorie has
obtained in California in the last seven

months 102 new members, a number of
life members among them.

The S. A. F. has gone as far afield
this year as it can go, but the results
have justified the confidence of those
who cast the votes that brought it
about. Indeed, the success of the Pa-
cific coast convention will no doubt
make it easier to carry the society to
other parts of the country not yet
visited and it is to be expected that as
the years go by the S. A. F. will be
found to have become in fact as it has
been in name, all-American.

MAIL LETTER WITH PARCEL.

Announcement has just been made by
the Postoffice department that it is
permissible to attach a letter inclosed
in an envelope having postage prepaid
at the first-class rate, to the outside of
a parcel of third or fourth-class matter
properly prepaid at the regular rate.
The particular advantage of this is that
letter and parcel reach the addressee
together. 0. L. L.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Although none too evident, there has
been a real improvement in market
conditions during the week. To be
sure, there still is more stock than the
demand requires, but in some lines
there has been a gradual shortening,
while in no one has there been any ap-
preciable increase in supply.

If the gladiolus problem were elimi-
nated there could be no possible cause
for complaint. But gladioli are every-
where, and as they are cheaper than
anything else, retailers yield to the
temptation to get all they can for their
money and use them wherever they can
to the exclusion of other flowers.
Asters are plentiful, but there are few
enough good ones. Early asters have
about ceased coming to the market and
the midseason varieties are arriving
haltingly. Really good asters are clear-
ing at a satisfactory price, but poor
ones cannot be moved at all.

Beauties are clearing better than
they have cleared for many weeks.
There is a shortage of stock in lengths
less than twenty inches. The quality
on the whole is none too good. Roses,
while there are increased supplies in
certain quarters, are clearing well. The
greatest demand, of course, is for Rus-
sell, but Killarney Brilliant and all the '
yellow varieties, with the exception of
short Wards, are making a remarkably
good showing for the time of the year.
Richmonds, however, are ^sluggish.
Milady has the preference in red.

A few Golden Glow chrysanthemums
have found their way to the market,
but they are snapped up so quickly that
not all buyers know of their arrival.
They are of good size, stem and foliage.
Valley is selling steadily enough, and •
the growers seem to have reduced the
supply sufficiently to keep it well with-
in the clearing line. Lilies are in good
supply and meet with a fair demand.
Cattleyas are scarce, but as it does not
take much stock to satisfy the demand,
there is generally enough to go around.
Daisies, coreopsis, delphiniums and
gypsophila can be found on the market,
but with most growers they are done
for. A few dahlias have made their
appearance, though in this market they
have never been accorded an overly
cordial reception, and apparently this

No one greenhouse, wheth-
er his or someone else's, gives
the progressive florist a con-
sistent supply.

His own greenhouse brings
good profit, but for year-
round supply the sagacious
florist depends on a trust-
worthy service, such as the
A. L. Randall Co., of Chicago.

It is. in fact, a co-opera-
tive service receiving the
choicest offerings from the
nation's largest growers and
in turn distributing them to
thousands of florists through-
out the country.

Saving in shipping expense,
labor and time, together with
the certainty of always re-
ceiving the lowest prevailing
prices, warrant your accept-
ing Kandall Service as an
ally in your march to success.

Wholesalers Get More Space.

It must be that the iLemoyne build-
ing, at the southwest corner of Wabash
avenue and Lake street, has proven an
excellent location for the two concerns
that moved into it just before Easter,
as this week they have both closed
leases for additional space in which to
handle their increased business.

The E. C. Amling/Co., which uses the
street floor store at 174 North Wabash,
with a large sales space in the in-
terior of the building on that floor and
a working and storage space in the
basement, has doubled its street front-
age by leasing the store at 176 North
Wabash. The walls are to come out. A
part of the new space is to be used for
office purposes, which will permit a
large increase in and a more advan-
tageous use of the selling space.

The A. L. Randall Co. has made a
lease for five yearS on all the hereto-
fore unoccupied space in the basement
of the Lemoyne building, in which the
company heretofore has occupied the

from a vacation at the Dells, Wis.
R. J. Parker has returned from a trip
through lower Wisconsin.

John Evert, who is known to his col-
leagues on La Salle street as the Mum
King, is second vice-president and di-
rector of the United States Automatic
Safety Appliance Co., in which his
brother also is a stockholder. The
Evert brothers like nothing better than
to take their florist friends to the com-

to quote the company 's literature, * * the

Erne & Kling«l say July was much
ahead of last year with them, but that
August is not making so good a show-
ing; prices, especially on roses and
gladioli, are too low to make good busi-
ness however much stock is handled.

J. W. Breakey, 3907 Cottage Grove
avenue, has completed the erection of a
fashionable twelve-apartment building
at Sixty-first street aird*Langley ave-
nue. Mr. Breakey will make his home
in one of the apartments.

The moving of the range of the Au-
gust Erickson Co., from 3437 Foster
avenue to 5825 Rogers avenue, is pro-
gressing rapidly. Three houses are
ready for glazing and it is expected to
get the others up soon. Mr, and Mrs.
Erickson are at present visiting a
daughter at Warner, Alberta.

James Rolan, who now has a flower
and confectionery store at Twelfth and
Halsted streets, has opened a new store
of the same character at Twelfth street
and Kedzie avenue.

W. H. Kidwell took an interesting
means, August 14, to do his part to re-
duce the gladiolus surplus. He cleaned
up a table in a wholesale house, work-
ing up enough of his purchase to get
his money back and a profit. Then, in
the evening as people were passing to
the neighboring picture shows, he put
a boy on the sidewalk to hand out a
flower to each person. Soon the dis-
tribution was going on inside the store
and 4,000 spikes were given away. Mr.
Kidwell considers it an excellent way
to advertise.

W. J. La Grotta, proprietor of the
Andrew McAdams store, Fifty-third
street and Kimbark avenue, is building
an addition to his greenhouses. It is
of Foley construction. Mr. La G'-otta
reports good business.

After a most pleasant trip to Pasa-
dena and the expositions, C. L. Wash-
burn and Mrs. Washburn returned Au-
gust 15. Mr. Washburn lost no time
in getting to work, as he was in the
Bassett & Washburn greenhouses at
Greggs two hours after his arrival.
O. P. Bassett and wife will arrive in
the city August 20. They have made
the trip overland in an automobile.

Be Sure You Get Your Money's Worth

'Mawruss, there is one ting you
must all the time remember, if you
want to make for yourself a success in
pizness," said a diamond bedecked Is-
raelite in a sixty dollar tailor made,
to his aged youthful offspring.

"Yes, Mawruss, mine poy," he con-
tinued with a knowing smile, "to be,
like your f adder, a good pizness-man
(rising inflection) you must all the
time be sure to get your money's
worth, if you spend anything."

And the Jew, through wisdom in-
herited from Solomon, no doubt, hit
the nail of good "merchant-ship"
on the head.

"Be sure you get your money's
worth," that is one question you al-
ways put to yourself when you buy
a suit of clothes, or a new hat. Do
you ask yourself in the same way
when you are buying stock for your
store, "Am I getting full value for
my money?"

It does not usually occur to the
■ Florist, that there must be good value
to his stock. He is apt to think in
dividends, not values. If he thinks
the public will stand for poor quality
— he buys poor quality. If he is of-
fered a batch of stock that is off
grade, and he thinks he can sell it at
a profit, he does not bother with the
minor detail that he is not giving the
ultimate buyer his money's worth.

When I say the average Florist
does not care whether his customer
gets value or not, I am not hitting
at you who are building up good
profitable business, I mean the man
who tears down his sign and
"cusses" his luck for not being able
to get a good location for his shop
or stand. The man that can not un-
derstand his neighbor's success and
his own failure, can as a rule, put it
up to this one thing — he does not
give the consumer his money's worth.
Possibly he gives him fresh flowers,
but the variety is off (he bought them
because they were cheap). On the
other hand, his stock might be of
good variety but the stems too short
(he would not have bought them but —
cheap).

Never get anything, at any price,
that you would not buy if you were
asked to pay the full price. If you
do, you will lose by the deal. Not in
cash on that particular sale, perhaps;
a good salesman can sell a three-
legged blind mule to the man that
knows nothing about what he is try-
ing to buy. But is the man that has
been stung apt to come back and try
again f

MIND YOTJR P'S AND Q'S.

No, I am not merely suggesting
that you mind your own business,
though that is good advice too. What
I mean is this: "Prices" and "qual-
ity" must both be kept in mind, not
"prices" alone. First be sure the
quality is right, then talk price. I
don't care how cheap a lot of Beau-
ties may be, if their petals are dis-
colored I don't want them at any
price. Flowers are bought for their
beauty and attractiveness alone; if
in that they fail they are worthless.
You can not make a bad blossom a
good buy, no matter what you cut
the price to.

Then again, it is one thing to sell
flowers that are apparently good

stock, and seem to be in fine condi-
tion, and a good bit different to han-
dle real quality cuts. KENNICOTT
BROS. COMPANY, you have seen,
terms itself "The House of Quality
Plus." The reason is this: The aim
of the House of Kennicott is to mind
their P's and Q's, Their "prices"
and "equalities" both are right. What
more is there to be considered on the
question of good value of stock?

Mind, the House of Kenniijott does
not aim to be the cheapest, jip^r claim
to be the biggest, nor the best. But
the fact that it has been doing busi-
ness for over thirty years means some-
thing to the man who thinks.

KENNICOTT 'S QUALITY CUTS,
though not attempting to be cheap,
have won a name for themselves.
True enough, but there is another
thing that 1*116 House of Quality Plus
stands for. Stop and consider the
"Plus." That is not for euphony,
merely.

"Plus" in the Kennicott slogan
means (1) "service": desire to
please, ability to satisfy; (2)
"honor": desire to treat customers
square, give full count, and never
stuff orders and charge for more than
the order called for; (3) "courtesy":
willingness to rectify errors in filling
orders, shipping stock, and the hun-
dred and one other mistakes that even
the most efficient and most willing
are bound to make occasionally.

The Kennicott policy of fairness has
won for the House a place in the hearts
of many buyers both In and out of Chl-_
cage. Due to the never tiring efforts of"
the employees, the manager, and Mr. H.
B. Kennicott, the president of the com-
pany (who takes a personal interest in
every account on the books) Kennicott
Bros. Company is bound to grow to be,
if not the largest, the best bouse on the
Chicago market.

As the House grows in quantity of busi-
ness transacted the management continues
to give each order the same personal care
and attention. At this time the concern
bandies more stock than ever before ;
hence with the same personal service, the
House is even better able to give each
buyer Just what he wants.

Since the Installation of the new man-
agement The House of Kennicott has not
only increased the amount of cut flowers
handled (at the same time holding its
place as headquarters for Decorative
Greens) but it is also handling a larger
amount of supplies each month than It
did formerly In six. From now on
KENNICOTT BROS. COMPANY will have
a full line Chiffons, RibbonSjCtc, as well
as their old stand-by. Wire Work.

You may not be aware of the fact that
Kennlcott's Wire Designs have not only
been on the market longer than any other
make of Wire Work that Chicago boasts,
but that the quality of the wire and the
standard of workmanship is not equaled
In any other shop, at any price — and
Kennlcott's Designs cost no more than
Inferior grades.

Do not take this statement as Gospel,
prove it for yourself. Surely it bears In-
vestigation. •

In closing let me tersely sum up the
question I have discussed, and try to im-
press upon you the importance of these
few facts :

1 — It does not pay to do business unless you
make a fair profit.

2 — You can not build a permanent business
without satisfied customers.

3 — You can not satisfy customers without
giving them good value.

4 — You can not give good value to customers,
unless you insist on getting good value when
you buy your own stock.

5 — <3ood value does not mean stock at a low
price, but high grade stock at the right price.

6 — KENNICOTT BROS. Company, The House
of Quality Plus, for over thirty years has stood
for a square deal.

7— KENNICOTT'S CUTS ARE QUALITY CUTS.

•Think these seven statements over.
Now, what is the logical thing to dof

GLOEKLER FLOWER REFRIGERATORS

Gloekler 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. That is the fundamental
principle of Gloekler Flower Refrigerators.
It keeps the refrigeratoi sweet, clean and
sanitary, and at the same time results in a
saving of ice consumption. It requires per-
fect insulation to produce this condition,
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 attrac-
tively that they almost sell themselves.
They are as valuable 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.

Many nplendid styles and sizes in stock for quick ship-
ment. We build any sise or style to order. Any finish.

The Market.

Business was good last week, although
weather conditions were most unfavora-
ble. It rained almost every day. The
w^^her was much too cool for this
t£m4 of the year. Carnation planting,
which had a fine start, has been de-
layed by the wet weather. Outdoor
flowers have suffered because of the
continued rains, especially asters.
Sweet peas are completely ruined.

Various Notes.

The arrangements for the outing of
the Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural So-
ciety, which will take place August 25
at Frankenmuth, a 15-mile ride from
Saginaw, have been completed. Charles
Frueh is chairman of the entertainment
committee. A special car leaves Bay
City at 7:30 a. m., and Saginaw at 8
a. m. Everyone is looking forward to a
big time. A whole day without busi-
ness cares will be a. benefit to all. The
attendance is expected to reach the 100
mark. The sports for the day will be
many. Proprietors of Bay City and
Saginaw will have a 5-inning game of
baseball.

Zom & Gaertner say that asters are
not of the quality they should be. The
heavy rains are doinoj much damage.
This concern has nearly seven acres de-
voted to asters, which form their main
summer crop. A loss would mean much
to them.

F. H. Stevens, of the Stevens Gladioli
Co., who lost his entire stock of bulbs
by fire last March, has turned his
acreage into lots. He is growing bulbs,

but not in such quantity as in the past.

Desner & Fisher are adding two
greenhouses to their range, which will
give them about one-third more glass.

Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Thayer, of Mid-
land, Mich., visited the trade August 9.
Mr. Thayer is much pleased with this
summer's business. Funeral work has
been plentiful. The erection of two
houses and the installation of more
boiler capacity is under way. Gee.

The Market.

There has been little change in the
market since the last report. Gladioli
are not coming in so heavily as for-
merly. Asters are better in quality, but
are only in fair supply. The decreased
supply and better quality brought
prices up to a fair level. Lilies are
overplentiful. They were especially so
the latter part of last week, when the
price dropped and the demand fell off.
Beauties were moving fairly well, but
this week the demand fell down flat.
The rose situation may be called poor

Winter

The season of the loDg-stemmed flowers such as the long Beauties,
Killarneys, Chrysanthemums, etc., is at hand. The. proper treatment
of such decorative stock is aided most effectively by using long

handled baskets such as the one
in the illustration herewith. It
is an easy matter to include the
basket in the sale of the flowers.

Lay in a stock of these specials
and use them in your own deco-
rations, together with a suitable
assortment of standard shapes
and sizes, and watch your sales
increase.

The public is becoming educated
in the proper handling of flow-
ers, and the florist who is pro-
gressive and meets the demand
half way, is the florist that
. Drofits.

^"W^e shall be pleased to send you

rather that you see the baskets
themselves, so if you stop off in

i Society's Mtating.

The regular monfnl^meeting of the
Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural
Society was held in the society's rooms
in Doran's hall, Friday evening, Au-
gust 13, with President Sealey in the
chair. The attendance was good, al-
though not so large as usual, owing,
no doubt, to the extreme heat. The
only exhibit was a specimen plant of
Torenia Fournieri grandiflora, shown by
Owen A. Hunwick, who was accorded
honorable mention.

The fall show of the society will be
held at Stamford, Conn., November 5
and 6. Letters were read from several
good friends of the society, offering
substantial prizes for the premius) list.
The outing committee made its final
report and was discharged, with a vote
of thanks. Messages were read from
several members of the society en route
to the Pacific coast to attend the ex-
position. All reported having a pleas-
ant journey.

The next meeting will be held Sep-
tember 10, when a fine showing of sea-
sonable flowers will be expected.

ly number of members of the florists'
trade, including representatives of the
trade press, formed a large and happy
party, which was further augmented by
the addition of a large delegation from
the Tarrytown society. The day was
ideal and the various games and ath-
letic events went off with a swing,
starting at 10:30 a. m.

An excellent shore dinner, served by
the hotel management, was a feature.
After dinner the amusing pastime of
"breaking the flower pots" was in-

^ The Market.

Business last week was fair. The
supply of first-class stock was a trifle
short. Asters and gladioli are the pres-
ent leaders, the latter being at their
best, while asters show the effect of
severe beatings by the heavy rains.

A number of retailers are making
the annual renovations and improve-
ments at their stores, and the growers
are overhauling and repairing their
houses, and preparing for rebenching.

will be met and entertained by some of
the gardeners of that city.

city, but now employed at Boston, is

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The arrival of Golden Glow chrysan-
themums August 12 lent a bit of bright-
ness, a forerunner of the fall. That is
^jftbout the only change in the midsum-
^mer situation. Flowers are a trifle less
■"■plentiful than a week ago. There is
some business, out-of-town and local,
for which really good flowers are none
too plentiful, but the general tone of
the market is decidedly summery. Cat-
tleyas continue scarce at even higher
...prides than heretofore; Easter lilies
t-Tire good, but meet with only fair sup-
'tiort. Valley is hard|t>Bb good as usual.
Boses are quite scarce. I mean roses
of quality; the poor ones are plentiful.
Asters still show the effect of the daily
rains. Gladioli keep up well. There
are a few carnations and many of the
outdoor assortment of garden flowers.

Current Events.

Some of the bright minds in floral
circles have been grappling with the
question of what should be done with
the fine equipment in the wholesale cut
flower houses. There are plenty of able
salesmen on duty, even during vacation
season. There is an abundance of cold-
storage space, but not nearly enough
for the salesmen or the cooling rooms
to do. Would" it be feasible, they ask,
to take up mushrooms, berries, fruit,
lettuce, asparagus, tomatoes, and so
forth? Might not the idea be a source
of profit alike for grower, wholesaler
and retailer during the summer! It
really seems that something might be
done to cut down expenses, possibly
even to realize a profit, if all three
classes of florists took hold in earnest.
Is the suggestion worth trying!

Here is a mashed potato story with
a moral. Leo Niessen tells it. He says:
"I have a friend who is extremely fond
of mashed potatoes, thinks it hard to
get enough of them. Unfortunately, I

my friend swallowed a penny — no, I
think it was a pin, one day. The doctor
said, 'You must go on a diet. Take
nothing but mashed potatoes and milk.'
My friend thought this was delightful.
The proposed cure really seemed a balm
for the torture and uncertainty of that
pin. The first day all went well. The
second day mashed potatoes became less
of a treat. On the third day it was
decidedly difficult to eat them. The
fourth day they were positively horrid.
Fortunately, on the fifth day the pin
disappeared." Now, the moral of this
story applies to the growing of the
Killarney rose. A buyer goes to a
flower store and asks what flowers they
have that are pretty. The salesman

produces Killarney. The same buyer
goes later to another flower store, and
asks the same question, with 'similar
result. Do you wonder that the flower
buying public is tiring of Killarney!

Various Notes.

Eichard Stockton, the noted rose
grower, of Stockton & Howe, Princeton,
N. J., was among the volunteers at
the United States drilling camp at
Plattsburg, N. Y., where a month is be-

of soldiering, as a step toward prepared-
ness.

The Market.

We are getting the warmest weather
of the season and trade is at its lowest
ebb. Outside of funeral work there is
little doing, and wholesale flower cir-
cles have a half deserted appearance.
Most of the growers are now sending
nothing in. The majority of the rose
and carnation men are through plant-
ing. The supply of roses has slightly
increased, but they clean up fairly well.
Of carnations a few small blooms still

arrive, but they cut little figure. Sweet
peas are not good. The heavy rains
have spoiled many of them, and those
coming are mostly short-stemmed.

Asters and gladioli are the two lead-
ers. Many of the asters were destroyed
by the incessant rains. Good flowers
sell well, but there are many poor ones.
Gladioli are in overwhelming supply
and are hard to move. Valley con-
tinues poor. Lilies are abundant and
there is a considerable assortment of
annuals and perennials. Cattleyas are
scarce and dear. Few gardenias are
coming in.

Various Notes.

Neither the Boston Cooperative Mar-
ket nor the Boston Flower Exchange
will hold its annual auction sale of
stalls this season. The directors in
each market have decided to" give all
stallholders the privilege of renting
their present stalls at last year 's prices.
There is some grumbling over this
policy, but the majority of stallholders
and growers favor it.

one of his carnation houses. He will
plant his new Morning Glow almost ex-

pitlks good flowers of this variety, which
proves a good summer carnation. He
reports a fine sale for field carnations
and he did the heaviest July business
in, his history.

about 70,000 in all. The varieties
grown are Fenn, Pocahontas, Beacon,

with roses. In a number of houses now
devoted to cucumbers and tomatoes,
these will be followed with single vio-
lets. Two large houses are planted with
the newer Spencer sweet peas, the
plants of which are now three to four
inches high.

Newport is at its height, and at all the
fashionable summer resorts there are
receptions and dinners galore. Every-
thing first-class of any kind of rose is
quickly taken. It, is the great percent-
age of short-stemmed stock that makes
the average so low. The new cutting
has begun.

There are few , carnations yet, and
few of these desirable; so prices con-
tinue low. Orchids, too, are off crop
and anything of value holds. But the
demand is light and no further ad-
vance is anti ipated.

There has been no change in lilies or
valley worthy of notice, and certainly
no shortage. Goldenrod and Hydrangea
paniculata grandiflora help to fill the
retail windows. Sweet peas are im-
proving and a few tritomas are arriv-
ing.

York.

Various Notes.

L. B. Nason and Frank K. Lamer-
eaux, of Port Jervis, motored to Dela-
ware Water Gap and through the Dela-
ware valley last week, a distance of
over 240 miles.

It is a remarkable fact that no resi-
dent of this big city attended the S.
A. F. convention except the secretary.
Those who made the trip live in New
Jersey or Connecticut, and the number
is e.asily counted.

The plans of Roman J. Irwin's new

mont, are most attractive and elabo-
rate.

Robert MacNiff, of the MacNiff Hor-

The veteran wholesaler, J. K. Allen,

August 20. Mr. Allen has given his
entire time and talents to the florists'
business during the last thirty-nine
years, and has been in its wholesale cut
flower department since 1882.

BEPOBT ON SCHOOL OABDENS.

[Oontioned from page 27.]

In California this year, the superin-
tendent of schools, Thomas L. Heaton,
of San Francisco, has been busy in his
efforts for a school garden exhibit at
th^ exposition. San Diego and Los
Angela stand as a testimonial to the
efforts *f school authorities to encour-
age gardening at home. A letter re-
cently feettved from Morris M. Rath-
bun, of Los Angeles, tells of cash
prizes distributed, ranging from $5,
for the individual home student gar-
dener, to a $500 prize for the school
making the best showing in 1915. This
work cleaned up many neglected lots,
and turned waste places into beauty
spots. Los Angeles, to do this work
well, employed an expert teacher-flo-
rist, and good results of the work are
seen in many of the cities and towns
of the Pacific coast. At Portland, Ore.,
work of this kind is being carried on
under the direction of a landscape ar-
tist from Chicago, who is specially em-
ployed to give instruction in this line.

la erery stateHSbiis Jfood work is be-
ing •carrted on. School gardening has
its Ifreatest application -jn our great
cities. School gardening 'aims to take
hold and interest the city boys. At a
flower show held in New York, in the
Museum of Natural History, the school
children came in classes to view the
exhibits. They were children born in
congested sectiojos of N6w York, .isome
of them never having been iu the
country, and the wonder at seeing so
many flowers was expressed without
reserve.

In Philadelphia the school garden
work is well organized, and the back
yard3 oJf'th,^usands of little houses re-
veal a tast^ and industry of great im-
portance to anyone. Probably no
other city is doing more by organized
effort in home and public gardening
instruction than Toronto, Ont. It has
a climate opposite to that of southern
California, yet the same appreciation
of the beautiful and the value of eco-
nomic thrift is evidenced in both sec-
tions. Down the Ohio river, in city
after city, school gardening and home
gardening are being carried on. <A.t
Evansville, Ind., J. D. Carmody has
encouraged this sort of work, and
lately has given valuable land for gar-
den and park use. This illustration
serves simply to show the interest in
this great work. It is one that grows,
and no craft can do more to encourage
it and profit by it than the florists of
America. In so doing the homes of
the people of America are made the
more beautiful.

Evansville, Ind. — Charles 8. Wiggin-
ton is preparing several acres of ground

LOoncluded from page 27.]

and varied channels^ and also to take
means to prevent any society, corpora-
tion or individual from decrying the
use of these products for special occa-
sions.

We often learn of repeated attempts
made to discourage the use of our
products. Such cases should be taken
up by the publicity bureau, and every
means possible taken to offset the ef-
fects of such adverse influences. I am
much in favor of a standing committee
of five members whose duty shall be to
cooperate with the retailers, whole-
salers and producers so that our busi-
ness shall be brought before the public
in a much more favorable and effective
light than it has been in the past.

We should have recourse to the lead-
ing daily papers throughout the coun-
try, which I believe will gladly publish
from time to time articles on commer-
cial floriculture. This will have a won-
derful effect, for it will bring before
the American people the merits of our
business and the enjoyment derived
from the use of our products.

The hour has come when we should
give this question our best thought and
action. I think greater benefits can
be secured from aggressive work of
this nature than any other we can en-
gage in. I feel that the results would
justify a reasonable expenditure annu-
ally for the maintenance of such a
committee.

National Credit Department.

I am forcibly reminded by a large
number of the members of our society
of ttle pressing necessity tar creating
a national bureau of credits, a central
oflBce where credit information can be
kept and references obtained. The
commercial interests of our business
have grown to such an extent during
the last fifteen years as to call for a
more up-to-date standard of business
practice.

There ought not to be any objection
to such a movement, as it is highly
probable that it would do a great deal
of good, and there is but little danger
that it would do any harm. It should,
however, be carefully guarded so that
it could be used mutually by both
debtor and creditor. The sligbtej^t- in-
timation that a creditor was benefiting
to any i^eztsn^ ak tfaf expenses of tl^
debtor wojjW erelile dissatisfaction and
lead to setrous rrtults. The rights of
commercial life, liberty and the pursuit
of trade should be upheld and not in-
terfered with.

It is apparent, however, that ways
and means should be considered and
adopted by which the financial stand-
ing, honesty and integrity of the com-
mercial florists could be measured, de-
termined and circulated among our
members to the end that honest, up-
right, just and creditable business men
may. be singled out from the unjust
and unscrupulous operators.

I regard this problem as a funda-

mental one, and believe it should be
considered and a plan adopted only
after careful study. I would suggest
the appointment of a committee of
nine members, to be selected from the
large floral centers of the country, to
consider this subject and report at the
meeting of the board of directors in
1916.

American Products.

There is a constantly growing senti-
ment in this country among those who
have given the subject study that the
time has now arrived when a large
part, if not the whole, of the horticul-
tural products which have been imported
from Europe should be grown in this
country. This is something 'I have had
in mind for some time past.

We should not seek to take advan-
tage of the unfortunate conditions ex-
isting in Europe at the present time,
and this society will do its part toward
helping to maintain the commercial
honor of the United States so that we
shall emerge from this war period with
the love and admiration of all nations
concerned.

Our climate, soil and other condi-
tions are, according to our best author-
ities, well adapted for the growth of
palms, bulbs, nursery stock, etc., which
now go to make a total of imports of
over $2,000,000 annually.

I would recommend that a permanent
committee of three be appointed to
study this problem and seek the advice
and counsel of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and devise
ways and means by which those inter-
ested may be encouraged and assisted
in taking up this work, which ought to
bring about good results, and report
annually to the society in convention.

Voting.

Experience has taught us that our
present system of electing officers at
our annual convention occupies too
much time. It is wrong to ask a man
to stand in line for half an hour and
sometimes longer before he can cast a
ballot for the choice of officers.

As a remedy for this condition I
would suggest that a list of the mem-
bers be alphabeticaHy, arranged in four
books:

Book No. 1 to include all names be-
ginning with the letter A and ending
with the letter D.

Book No. 2 to include all names be-'
ginning with the letter E and ending
with the letter K.

Book No. 3 to include all names be-
ginning with the letter L and ending
with the letter R.

Book No. 4 to include all names be-
ginmng with the letter S and ending
with the letter Z.

It will be necessary that one teller
for each book be appointed to check
names, also one to receive the ballots.

This calls for an amendment to our
by-laws, which I hope will be passed
and made effective at the opening ses-
sion of our next annual eonv^ntion.

Finish.

The trade and commerce in seeds,
plants and flowers are of such national
magnitude and importance that they
are justly classed among the great
business interests in this country.
There is no more charming art and
occupation than the cultivation of
flowers, plants and fruit-bearing trees.
There is no calling more conducive to
human welfare than that of the horti-
culturist.

Today let us applaud the work of our
chosen officers for what they have done
in the past, but let us make this ap-
plause count by seeing that the good
work continues. Let us see to it that
the society is built up and its influence
increased by the combined efforts and
with the cooperation and assistance of
all kindred organizations, so ♦hat the
next generation can look with pride on
the work accomplished and take for
their motto the .inspiring words of
Edward Everett Hale, "Look up and
not down, look out and not in, look
forward and not back, and lend a
hand."

THE JOHN HENRY COMPANY, LANSING, MICH.

THE BOCHESTEB EXPOSITION.

The attractive proposition made by
the management of the Bochester ex-
position for a flower show has secured
the attention of the best known grow-
ers in the country, as had been ex-
pected. With no charge for space and
the promise of adequate service, with a
daily average attendance of over 20,000,
it would have been surprising if grow-
ers had not responded to the invitation
to send exhibits to the Bochester show.
August 30 to September 11 are the
dates. The exposition is held at the
city's own exposition park, which has
ten. large fireproof buildings, and one
of the best has been assigned to the
flower show. A committee of the
Bochester Florists' Association is co-
operating with the management and
hopes to make the Bochester show a
meeting place for florist and grower,
seedsman and importer. They believe
that there is need for such an exhibi-
tion, as it will give the florists a chance
to see, without traveling the country
over, what the growers have to offer in
new and standard varieties of plants
and flowers. A personal invitation has
been sent to every florist in New York
state, as well as in some adjoining
states, informing them of the names
of the exhibitors and suggesting that
they combine business with pleasure by
arranging to spe;pd an early fall vaca-
tion in the Flbwer City and, at the
same time, see what the growers have
to oflFer.

Following is a list of the exhibitors:
J. K. Alexander, East Bridgewater,
Mass.; C. Betscher, Canal Dover, O.;
John (Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, L. I.;
Wilbur A. Christy, Warren, O.; Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia; B. & J.

derd, Goshen, Ind.; Burt Olney Green-
houses, Albion, N. Y.; A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.; F. B. Pier-
son, Tarry town, N. Y.; Geo. L. Still-
man, Westerly, E. I., and the following

PAGES OF BETAIIJIBS' OAJtDS

This department for the cards of
Leading Betail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
many years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? Ton can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let.
your customers know you]
can perform this service]
for them. To receive your|
share — well, The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — now
— before you forget it?

The Market.

The market last week was in an over-
crowded condition. But for funeral
work, business would 'have been at a
standstill. Local retailers bought spar-
ingly. Moderate weather prevailed, and
it looked as if summer would pass with
little sultry weather. The bulk of the
cut stock arriving consists of roses, of
which the majority are short-stemmed.
Ophelia, Russell and Hadley have long
stems, and are of better quality than
Killarheys, Kichmond and Ward, which
are in greater supply. Beauties are
scarce. Carnations are poor, and a
good supply arrives daily from the field.
Asters come in large numbers. The
light shades have the call. Firpt qual-
ity stock demands $3 per hundred.
Heavy outside shipments of gladioli
caused a big slump in the price of home-
grown stock. The supply of single ever-
blooming tuberoses greatly exceeds the
demand. There is a quantity of com-
mon outdoor stock on band most of the

time.

Club Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
St. Louis Florists' Club was held Au-
gust 12, at Joseph Hauser's dahlia
farm, Webster Groves, Mo. It was by
far the largest attended meeting of the
year. The fifty members, together with
ten visitors, who made the trip, were
loud in their praise of the manner in
which they were entertained by Mr.
and Mrs. Hauser. An inspection of the

dahlia fields was made before the meet-
ing. President Bourdet called the
meeting to order, and, after disposing
of the regular opening preliminaries,
W. A. Bowe, chairman of the trustees,
made a report on the club's recent
picnic. A final report will be made at
the next meeting.

The resignations of Frank Wild and
Mrs. M. M. Ayres were accepted. Mrs.
Ayres was made an honorary member
of the club. Applications for member-
ship were filed by Edward A. Guntly,
of Windier -s Flower Store, and A. S.
Cerny, of Kirkwood. A. H. Burkemper,
of the Grasselli Chemical Co., and S. O.
Vandevine, gardener at the Samuel C.
Davis estate, were elected to member-
ship.

The election of officers followed,
which resulted in the reelection of the
present officers: President, Jules Bour-
det; vice-president, W. 8. Wells; secre-
tary, J. J. Beneke, and treasurer, Wm.

C. Smith. Wm. W. Ohlweiler was elect-
ed to serve a 3-year term as trustee.
The other trustees are W. A. Rowe, two
years, and Frank Windier, one year.

Walter Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons' Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo., in-
vited the club to hold its next meeting
at their place, which was accepted with
thanks.

After the adjournment of the meet-
ing, Mr. and Mrs. Hauser, assisted by
Mrs. Hauser 's sister, Mrs. W. J. Pilcher
and Mrs. G. Grossart, served an elegant
luncheon to all present. Before depart-
ing for home, the members of the club
gave three cheers for the host and
hostess.

The Illinois florists who attended the
meeting were: J. F. Ammann, of Ed-
wardsville; George Madsen, of Alton;
E. W. Guy, Gustavo Grossart, A. G.
Fehr and W. E. Ogle, of BelleviUe.

Various Notes.

The M. M. Ayres Floral Co., on Grand

The summer cut of roses from the
establishments of W. .T. Pilcher, of

Werner's Richmond and Pilcher 's Kil-

Both places are in fine shape for the
fall and winter seasons.

Frank Sanders, son of C. C. Sanders,

recently purchased R. .1. Windier 's in-
terest in the business.

Miss Julia Mottell, cashier for the
Nicotine Mfg. Co., was held up by a
highwrayman August 14, while on her
way to the office with the weekly pay
roll. Miss Mottell is an athlete, and
soon routed her assailant. She saved
the money. The would-be robber es-
caped. John S. Carter, head of the
company, is at Sau' Francisco attending
the S. A. F. convention.

Samuel Seligman, of Wertheimer
Bros., New York, is calling on the
trade.

William W. Ohlweiler, general mana-
ger of the Missouri Botanical Garden,
who was elected chairman of the St.
Louis Florists' Club trustees last week,
is a hustler, and, with W. A. Rowe and
Frank Windier to assist him, the club
meetings for the coming season will
prove interesting. J. J, B.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

The Market.

Business conditions last week re-
mained unchanged. The same dullness
and small movement of stock prevailed.
There have been a number of small
affairs, such as dinner dances and table
decorations, which have been a help to
the business at one or two stores. The
midsummer dance of a local organiza-
tion called for a large decoration, in
which evergreens and gladioli were
principally used. A large number of
corsages were sold for this affair.

Outdoor flowers are cheapened by an
ever increasing number of farmers who
come to the city with their outdoor
flower stock.

The hydrangeas in bloom on the hotel
and cottage grounds are fine specimens,
noticeably the Otaksa. Some of the
plants are entirely covered with flowers
and measure almost six feet across.

Most attempts in former years to
grow good asters outside have met with
little success because of blight, but this
year some exceptionally fine flowers are
seen. The^e has been plenty of rain,
which may have helped _a.L the start.

Various Notes.
W. R. Thoms, of the Egg Harbor
Flower Shop, will move in about a
month to a new, up-to-date store, a
few doors from his present location.
The store, 20x60, has two windows for
display purposes. There is a green-
house in the rear, 16x42, and a lot,
20x100, for evergreens, etc. Mr. Thorns'
business has grown from nothing to its
present prominent standing in five

.years. A force of five people attend
to the many patrons, and a Ford de-
livery car is kept busy getting the
goods to the buyers.

The trade fr'om all parts of the coun-
try was well represented by visitors
last week. The latest arrival was
Charles Baxter, of Pennock Bros.,
Philadelphia.

Most of the stores • are featuring
gladioli, on account of the gladiolus
show which is to be held here. The
cards advertising the show have a good
illustration of a number of gladioli. It
is the opinion of several florists that
these cards have stimulated the sale of
gladioli. There has been considerable
interest aroused in the show, and, to all
appearances, it will be a great success.

H. C. M.

EOCHESTEE, N. T.

The Market.

Business is quite unsatisfactory. Bain
has fallen almost every day since July
15. Consequently much outdoor stock
has been spoiled, especially asters,
phlox and gladioli. Flowers are cleared
at exceedingly low figures. Boses, which
have been overplentiful, are fewer, but
there still remain plenty for our needs.
The supply of carnations is limited.
There is a large quantity of asters in
all colors but pink, which appears to
be scarce just now. Sweet peas have
suffered terribly from the rain, and the
supply is extremely limited. Easter
lilies are' in fair demand. Valley is
good, but does not move fast. Ismene
lilies are useful in design work. Out-
door stock, such as tritomas, hardy
phlox and dahlias, does not sell well.
Gladioli sell well, and large quantities
of America, Mrs. Francis King and
Eochester White are consigned daily.
The supply of greens of jdl kinds is
plentiful.

Charles W. Unglaub has completed
two houses, 23x150 and 28x150 feet,
which were erected by the veteran
greenhouse builder, Fred Oates. These
have been planted with carnations,
which are Mr. Unglaub 's specialty.

Seven houses, each 20x100 feet, are
being rebuilt by the Good & Reese Co.
They were built about twenty-three
years ago, of all-wood construction.
Concrete is being used in the outer
walls and gutter-posts, for bench legs,
sides and bottoms, and in the ridge-
posts as higlj as about one foot above
tlie benches, the upper part of the ridge-
posts, the Y braces and the roof-bars
being of dear cypress.

The three extensions recently com-
pleted by the Leedle Floral Co. are of
the King Construction Co. type, and
have been planted with roses. The en-
tire heating system is being remodeled
by the installation of a vacuum system
by the use of Squires improved steam
traps and Dean steam pumps. This
company has now fully covered its two
acres of land between Plum and Frank-
lin streets, so that any further enlarge-
ment would necessitate starting a new
range on the 3-acre tract between
Franklin street and the Pennsylvania
railroad.

Miss Esther Blake, daughter of B. C.
Blake, whose residence and greenhouses
are on Johnson avenue, was married at
the home of her parents Monday, Au-
gust 9. The groom is Harry S.
Hawkens, of Richmond, Ind.

Leman Bradford is opening a retail
shop in one of the new rooms provided
by the remodeling of the Mitchell block,
at 106 East High street. His daughter,
Miss Zatae Bradford, will be in charge.
Mr. Bradford has been serving tem-
porarily as a member of the county
board of complaints for final review of
tax returns.

which continued throughout the spring
and thus far into the summer has no
parallel within the recollection of the
proverbial "oldest inhabitant" con-
nected with the florists' fraternity.
The conditions have been exceptionally
discouraging to indoor growers, who
have hoped in vain day after day and
week after week for just a little sun-
shine. Eose growers are still hoping
that the latter part of August and the
early fall will bring them a sufficient
amount of clear weather to enable them
to make up. in some measure for the
heavy loss sustained thus far in the
season. At best it hardly seems possi-
ble, from the present outlook, to bring
the crops up to the average quantities.
Ge Dale.

NEWABK, N. J.

The Market.

The market is extremelv dull. Many
who were fairly busy during the earlier
weeks of the summer have almost noth-
ing to do. There are a few funerals
and occasionally a wedding, but even
these do not keep the florists busy, ex-
cept in spurts. This condition, however,
is to be expected at this time of the
year.

Last week was much more pleasant
than the week preceding. The weather
was warmer. This gave the growers arC
opportunity to cultivate their fields, and
check the growth of weeds that the
heavy rains started.

Asters and gladioli continue to arrive
in large quantities, and form the staple
cut flowers. Roses are not so plentiful
or of so good quality as those of other
seasons, but they are sufficient for the
slack trade of this season. The inflow
of dahlias does not seem to increase.
Only a few cosmos are seen. Many flo-
rists make liberal use of Boston, maid-
enhair and other ferns in their window
decorations.

General business conditions in
Newark have slightly improved. Trad-
ing is still slack, owing to the season
and the business depression which the
country has been experiencing. There
are indications, however, that there will
be considerable improvement during the
coming fall and winter, and that busi-
ness will be better than the correspond-

ing period of last year. Many florists
look forward to a busy fall.

Various Notes.

The Ivy Flower Shop is the name of
the flower store which was opened at
454 South Orange avenue, several
months ago, by Rose F. Schneider.

Fred Wolflnger has had considerable
funeral work and one good-sized wed-
ding decoration. Business is fair, con-
sidering the season.

James Rose has had to vacate his
store at 654 Bergen street, because of
the wrecking of the old building. He
is temporarily at 1414 Stuyvesant street,
Irvington.

Jacob H. Harvey reports that busi-
ness is quiet. Up to the first of Au-
gust he was busy, but since then there
has hardly been a thing moving. Oc-
casionally a little funeral work will
come in, but this is less than usual.

Mrs. C. M. Hutchinson, -whose green-
houses are opposite the Evergreen cem-
etery, is spending her vacation at Brad-
ley Beach, on the New Jersey coast.
She has had two of the old greenhouses
torn down, to make way for the new
ones being erected. The new green-
houses will each measure 28x93.

The Newark shade tree commission
reports that fifty-fonr trees were
ruined in the hard storm of two weeks
ago, and that 400 others were injured.
The commission planted 1,307 trees on
the assessment plan last spring. Only
the actual cost of the tree, subsoiling,
guard, stakes and labor constituted the
assessment.

Good progress is being made on the
building being erected by the Elizabeth
Nursery Co., Elizabeth, to replace the
packing and storage building destroyed
by fire last spring. R. B. M.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The unsettled weather continues.
Business is dull, and it is hard to move
anything in the line of cut flowers.
Great quantities of gladioli, asters and
roses are going to the waste pile. The
little demand for flowers has caused
prices to fall. Beauties, however, hold
their price, as there is a scarcity of
them. Asters are getting better each
day and increasing in sixe of bloom.
Some extra choice blooms can be had.
Gladioli are the flowers of the season
and are used for every purpose imagin-
able. Harrisii and Japanese lilies are
arriving, but have little demand. Buy-
ers of summer flowers are demanding
garden flowers, but few are to be had.
Sweet peas are scarce and poor on ac-

count of the heavy rains. Asparagus
and hardy ferns are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Miss Edna Sauer is spending two
weeks at Angola with her sister, Mrs.
Schieble.

Joseph Streit is cutting excellent
speciosum lilies in large quantities. His
gloxinias are good. The few remain-
ing wooden benches in his greenhouses
are being replaced with cement benches.
Mr. Streit expects to have all the
houses fitted with, cement benches by
September. Miss Susan Streit has re-
turned from Warsaw, N. Y., where she
spent her vacation.

W. F. Kasting, and W. H. Mansfield,
of Lockport, N. Y., are attending the
S. A. F. convention at San Francisco.

The beds of annuals and perennials
at Delaware park are a mass of .blooms,
and the many varieties of flowers make
an interesting collection. The border
of torenia, which is now in full bloom,
is most unusual and attractive.

Miss Edna Goehring is spending her
vacation at Akron, O.

A flower carnival was held in the
town hall at 'Lancaster, N. Y., August
12 and 13. Barney S. Myers, C. F.
Guenther and Fred Wise, of East Au-
rora, were judges. Premiums amounting
to $200 were given.

Arthur Wilkey will take a vacation
the last two weeks in August.

Jerry Brookins, of Orchard Park,
grows excellent asters, and is begin-
ning to cut his crop. They are large
in size and have long, firm stems.

Miss Long, of the Buffalo Cut Flower
Co., is on her vacation.

Edward Reid, of Philadelphia, was a
visitor here last week. Stephen Greene,
of H. BaycMdorfer & Co., Philadelphia,
was also a caler.

S. A. Anderson has a good summer
window display. It consists of a cas-
cade falling over rocks, stones, grasses
and mosses from a height of about
twelve feet into a pool at the bottom.
The water from this pool empties into
a pond. English ivy, cork bark and
green moss make up the entire setting.
A few good-sized plants are placed here
and there in the window. Shells, pond
lilies, turtles and goldfish are in the
pool.

AME&ICAN SEED TBAOE ASSOOIATIOSr.
President, John M. Lnpton, Mattltnck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treaanrer. O. E. Kendel, Clereland, O.

The unexpected death of J. M. Clark,
secretary of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi-
cago, is reported in this week's obituary
column.

Greil Bros. Co., Montgomery, Ala.,
wholesale grocers, liquor dealers and
druggists, intend opening a wholesale
seed departmont about September 1 and
will deal in seeds of all kinds. The com-
pany was established in 1865 and incor-
porated in 1896.

The Stokes Seed Farms Co., Moores-
town, N. J., has issued an invitation to
all who are interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in the subject of vegetable grow-
ing to visit it8 Windermoor seed farm
August 20. A special train will be run
from Philadelphia.

Automobile bandits held up and
robbed Rudolph Feige, assistant cashier
of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, August
14, relieving him of the weekly pay roll.
Mr. Feige, who had been to the bank, was
returning to the offices of the company
at 226 West Kinzie street with a satchel
containing $800 in currency, when he was
struck on tJie head and the satchel was
snatched from his hands by two men,
who jumped into an automobile in which
were two others. The machine ran west
at high speed and disappeared up Or-
leans street. The loss was covered by
insurance and the claim has been paid.

FIRST FRENCH BULBS ARRIVE.

The first large shipment of French
bulbs, 2,795 cases, arrived at New York
August 7, on board the Patria, from
Marseilles. This was ten days later
than the first shipment last year, and
not much more than half the number of
cases. (Last year's first shipment ar-
rived July 28 and consisted of 4,780
cases. French bulbs usually come in
three or four large batches of several
thousand cases each, followed for a
month or so by small, occasional ship-
ments. As reported in last week's
Review, a single consignment of 252
cases arrived ahead of the large ship-
ment.

The Patria shipment was consigned
as follows:

ANOTHER WARRANTY CASE.

The seed trade's non-warranty clause
will appear in court again when the
suit brought against L. P. Gunson &
Co., of Rochester, N. Y., by nine farm-
ers in the vicinity of Huxley, la., comes
to trial. They ask $1,240 damages be-
cause, they assert, seed oats which they
purchased of the firm did not come up
to representations. Last February the
nine farmers entered into contract with
L. P. Gunson & Co. for the purchase of
seed oats at $2.50 per bushel, the
quantities varying from ten to twenty
bushels. They assert the oats were

Burpee's Winter-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas, Originated

at Fordhook Farms and Grown at Floradale Farm.

Absolutely fixed— true to color and type.

We began hybridizing the original Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas, namely, Burpee's
Earliest of AH (Christmas Pink), Burpee's Earliest White, Burpee's Earliest Sunbeams and
Burpee's Re-selected Earliest of All, with the finest varieties of the summer-flowering Spen-
cers, at our FORDHOOK FARMS in 1909. It is, however, quite a slow process to thoroughly
"true" and "fix" these seedlings, and it being against the principles of our business to put any
novelty on the market in an unfixed condition, we are offering only two varieties at present.
The stocks of these we know to be absolutely fixed, true to color and type. After our
crops are harvested we may be in a position to offer, in a limited way, several other winter-
flowering novelties, particulars of which will be found in Burpee's Annual for 1916.

FORDHOOK PINK^^rs^'aSftl?

Fordhook Farms in 1909. The color is a beauti-
ful shade of rose-piuk on white ground; the
coloring deepening towards the edge of the
standard and wings. The flowers are of largest
size, exquisitely waved and usually produced in
threes and fours oa long stems. Uasurpassed
for cut flower trade. Awarded Certificate
of Merit at the Spring Show of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultur&l Society, Philadelphia,
March 23, 1915.

In sealed packets containing twelve seeds
each. Per pkt., 25 cents; ^ oz., $1.35; ^ oz.,
12.26; per oz., $4.00.

FORDHOOK ROSE

YARRAWA

The result
of a cross
made at our Fordhook Farms in 1910.
This lovely novelty is a charming
shade of rosy-carmine. The flowers
are of largest size and usually borne in
threes and fours on long, stiff stems.
Awarded Certificate of Merit at
the International Show, New York,
March 20, 1914, and at the Spring
Show of the Pennsylvania Hor-
ticultural Society, Philadelphia,
March 23, 1915.

In sealed packets containing twelve
seeds each. Per pkt.. 25 cents; ^ oz.,
$1.35; ^ oz., $2.25; per oz., $4.00.

The Sweet Pea Par Excellence
for Winter flowering^ Under Glass

We were awarded Certificates of Merit for this superb novelty
at the International Flower Show In New York, March, 1914,
and at the Spring Show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society, Philadelphia, March, 1916.

YARRAWA is an easy and good "doer," invariably giving an excel-
lent account of itself, whether grown in pots, boxes, raised benches
or solid beds.

YARRAWA has the heavy foliage and rank, strong growth of the
summer-flowering type and is a true winter-blooming Spencer. From
seed sown early in October at Fordhook Farms, the plants came into
bloom December 20th and flowered profusely until May. The flowers
are exquisitely waved and when well grown will average two and one-half
inches in diameter, many of them being duplex or double flowered, thus adding
greatly to the general effect of the bunch. They are borne usually in fours on
extra long, strong stems. The color is a most pleasing shade of bright rose-
pink, with light wings. As the supply of seed will be limited, we advise order-
ing early. Floradale-grown seed exclusively— k oz., $1.00; per oz.. $3.50; per H
lb.. $12.60; 1 lb., $46.00.

BRAZIL OFFERS BUSINESS.

The U. S. Department of Commerce
announces that a company which con-
ducts an agricultural experiment sta-
tion in Brazil reports that it is expe-
riencing difficulty in securing seeds. It
desires to correspond with seedsmen
and nurserymen. A booklet containing
varieties of seeds used and prices paid,
etcu:^ay be examined at the Bureau of
Fojeign and Domestic Commerce,
through which correspondence on the
matter may be had in English.

'TULIPS" ARE TULIP BULBS.

Customs Appraisers Overrule Protests.

Some months ago The Review re-
ported the efforts of certain importers
of tulip bulbs to secure a refund of
half the duty paid on them since the
present tariff act went into effect, Octo-
ber 3, 1913, and to establish the rate
under that act as 50 cents per thou-
sand, instead of $1, by means of a
protest heard before the Board of Gen-
eral Customs Appraisers. The Board
now announces its decision in one of
these cases, which will govern in the
others. It is ruled that the word
"tulips" as used in the tariff act is a
grammatical error, "tulip" having
been intended, and tliat it docs not
obscure the intent to tax bulbs of the
tulip at the higher rate.

The decision is on the protest of
Maltus & Ware, of New York. In its
decision the Board says:

"The merchandise involved in this
case is tulip bulbs, so invoiced, men-
tioned as tulip bulbs in the report of the
appraiser, characterized as tulip bulbs
in the protest, and conceded by all to
be tulip bulbs. They were assessed as
such under paragraph 210, tariff act
of 1913, at $1 per thousand. The im-
porters protest in the following lan-
guage:

"'The reason for objection, under
the tariff aot of October 3, 1913, is as
follows: Said merchandise is not duti-
able as assessed. It is covered by, and
is dutiable under, the last clause of
paragraph 210 (as "other" bulbs,
roots, root stocks, corms, and tubers)
at only 50 cents per thousand. If not
as aforesaid it is covered by, and is
free of duty under, the proviso of said
paragraph 210.'

"No testimony was given, the case
being submitted upon the record. It
will be noted that the provision under
which these bulbs were assessed is the
second clause of paragraph 210, which
reads, 'lily of the valley pips, tulips,
narcissus, begonia, and gloxinia bulbs,
$1 per thousand.'

"The whole contention arises over
the meaning to be given to the word
'tulips,' If it were in the singular no
question would arise. It is claimed,
however, that if it is to be considered
an adjective applying to bulbs, it
should have been 'tulip' instead of
'tulips,' and therefore the grammatical
form of 'tulips' excludes tulip bulbs
from classification under this clause.
We think the context leads to the irre-
sistible conclusion that the word
'tulips' was intended to bring within
that clause tulip bulbs.

"As stated by the Supreme Court
of the United States in Virginia v.
Tennessee (148 U. 8., 503, 519):
'Noscitur a sociis is a rule of construc-
tion applicable to all written instru-
ments. Where any particular word is
obscure or of doubtful meaning, taken
by itself, its obscurity or doubt may be
removed by reference to associated
words. And the meaning of a term may
be enlarged or restricted by reference
to the object of the whole clause in
which it is used.'

grammatical refinements for the bene-
fit of litigants when to do so would

The Florists' Review

AuoysT 19, 1915.

and defeat the clear intention of Con-
gress.

"In Singer Manufacturing Co. v.
McCoUock (24 Fed., 667), the court used
the following language, which we think
applies in this case: 'In the fonstruc-
tion of statutes the rules of grammar
are less important than the intention of
the legislature. And the sense and
spirit of the statute prevail over the
strict grammatical construction of its
words, "for the letter killeth, but the
spirit giveth life." '

"The importers in their brief ad-
vance the argument that the word
'tulips' as it occurs in paragraph 210
may be held to cover cut tulips. We
do not think this contention is sup-
ported by the context. We are there-
fore of the opinion that the classifica-
tion of the collector can not be suc-
cessfully assailed.

"The protest is overruled. '^'

The Board also overruled the pro-
tests of the International Forwarding
Co., of A. C. McClurg & Co., and others
at Chicago in similar cases.

Other Decisions.

In the case of Maltus & Ware, of
New York, against the duty on gladi-
olus bulbs and mother flowering bulbs,
the Board said: "Gladiolus bulbs clas-
sified under paragraph 210, tariff act
of 1913, under the provision for 'all
other bulbs • * * which are culti-
vated for their flowers or foliage, ' were
claimed free of duty under the pro-
viso of the same paragraph covering
'mature mother flowering bulbs import-
ed exclusively for propagating pur-
poses.' Protest unsupported and over-
ruled. ' '

In the protest of J. D. Irwin & Co.,
of New York, involving the duty on
budding knives and pruning knives,
the Board holds these knives were prop-
erly classified under the specific pro-
visions therefor in paragraph 128 of
the 1W3 tariff act and overrules the
protest.

Another case decided by the Board
was that of the protest of Vaughan's
Seed Store, of Chicago, involving the
duty on nursery stock. The govern-
ment's motion to dismiss the protest
on the ground that it was signed by the
wrong party is overruled, it being
shown that it was signed by an agent
for the importer. The merchandise,
nursery stock, was classified under
paragraph 211 of the 1913 tariff act
and was claimed free of duty as works
of art, collections in illustration of the
progress of the arts. The protest was
overruled.

The Rorists' Review

I

Woman versus
Mystery

We hear many men say woman
is a mystery. And we all know
a mystery is a truth which we
cannot fully understand. Well,
perhaps we are, but even at that
most real men are very much
interested in the Little Myste-
ries, and the male earth being
who does not like the Mysteries
and does not treat them right
must certainly find this a lone-
some Paradise.

Well, we cannot just exactly
help it ourselves, because we
don't always just understand
ourselves, and it is not our fault
always. For one, I know I am
a mystery to myself. I enacted
the funniest drama in my life
that I ever heard of, just the
past month, and now I know I
a__m a mystery to myself, at least.

Everyone in our trade knows
I travel a great deal for busi-
ness, and I meet hundreds of
men and am never embarrassed
by anyone, from a beggar to a
multimillionaire, because I am
not looking for beaux or sweet-
hearts, just friends— and real
friends they are. I'll put our
tradesmen second to none for
being fine fellows, real men; but
the few who are not are soon
forgotten in the rush, not worth
worrying about.

Well, here is where I took a
change for the worse. I was
motoring past a hotel and saluted
a friend and went on, paying no
further attention, and— well—
the worst is yet to come. * * *

The Florists' Review

Auauss 11^, 1916.

■tiy

Ever notice how much truth is often squeez^ into a brief sentence?

Note this one— *'The rat which has biit one hole is soon caught."

Liltewise the Snapdragon which has but one virtue is soon done. A glance
at the record of recent years will show aomp "C^.^^^ "great ones" on the bargain counter,
others sinking into oblivion, and some cleat off the fie d, while our Silver Pink SBKD«
LINGS grow in favor each day, with sales double those of a year ago." A multiple of good
points is the reason. Beauty of color and hal>it of growth, combining wonderful produc-
tiveness, have made our Silver Pink Seedlings famous. Seedling -napdragons have such
advantage over outtings as to make cuttings a waste of time. Se<>dlings make better
plants in less time, are practically disease-proof, and will flower, and flower, and flower,
while plants from cuttings are done at one small crop.

A. H. Faxon. Southbridge, Mass.. when sending a repeat order for plants, says: "I
like your S. P. Snapdragons very much. What you say about seedlings is true."

At present we have only seeds and seedlings to offer. New crop seed of our original
Silver Fink Snapdragon. 11.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed Of Nelrose, White,
Yellow, Garnet and Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1X0.

Fancy seedling plants of Silver Pink. $4.00 per IQO; *36.00 per lOOO.- Of Garnet, White
and Mixed, same price. Of Nelrose and Yellow, $5.00 per 100.

Free cultural directions. All orders cash or C. 0. D.

BEACON, N. Y.

Business last week was as dull as
the weather was bad. It rained nearly
every day. There were no outdoor
flowers to speak of, and all the florists
were dependent upon roses, gladioli and
snapdragons.

George W. Eussell's carnation plants
are looking well. He has everything
in readiness for planting, which will
be done as soon as the weather becomes
dry enough.

At the Spy Hill Conservatories busi-
ness is exceedingly quiet.

Benjamin Hammond has gone on a
three weeks' trip to California. He
will visit the exposition and attend the
B. A. F. convention.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business was quiet last week. There
was plenty of good stock to be had,
but the demand was not large enough
to utilize the supply.

Some fine late asters are being re-
ceived. Several growers are complain-
ing that the overabundance of rain will
not permit them to cut the blooms.
Gladioli and Easter lilies are plentiful.
The rose cut is not so heavy as it was,
but it is sufficiently large to satisfy
all "present needs. Good rubrum and al-
bum lilies can be had now. The first
carnations from the young stock ar-
rived last week and they experienced
a good market. The supply of greens
is ample for all immediate require-
ments.

Various Notes.

Several florists have received cards,
mailed at Omaha, from Miss Ada
Kresken and Lawrence Kresken, who
are on a trip to the Pacific coast.

C. E. Critchell received his first cut
of carnations from the young plants
last week. As the demand for blooms
was good, the lot was quickly sold.

The John C. Moninger Co. has started
rebuilding the greenhouses of Edward
Freis and Henry Gockel, at Newport,

NUBSERYMEN'S CONVENTIONS.

Reports of the conventions of the
Pacific Coast Nurserymen ^s Association
and the California Association of Nur-
serymen last week at San Francisco ap-
pear in the Nursery Trade Department,
page 94, in this issue.

LOS ANOELES.

The MaJTket.

Another dull week has to be chron-
icled, though not as dull as last week,
as a lot of good funeral work partly
compensated for the slackness in other
lines. Stock is about as last reported,
though three extremely hot days in suc-
cession had the effect of shortening the
cut somewhat. Dahlias are excellent,
and, besides having value as a show
window flower, are working in nicely in
funeral orders. The indoor roses stand
up fairly well, but are short in stem,
especially those from young plants.
Where the advantage to the grower
comes in, in shipping such stock when
he has to weaken his plants to cut it,
is difficult to see. Good carnations are
scarce, but there is plenty of other
stock to take their place.

Various Notes.

Looking around the establishment of
Polder & Groen, I found the two new
greenhouses up and the glazing almost
finished. To. insure a constant water
pressure, a large concrete reservoir has
been constructed and a fine electric mo-
tor has been installed to work a pump.
The progress made by these young men
is remarkable, in the face of strenuous
competition. They combine thorough
business capability with cultural skill
and stick-to-itiveness, rather an unusual
combination and one that makes for

SUCC6SS

T. J. Noll, of T. J. Noll & Co., Kansas
City, Mo., and Mrs. Noll have been in
the city this week, en route from San
Diego to San Francisco. Both speak in
the highest terms of the beautiful land-
scape work at the former exposition.

At Wright's Flower Shop early this
week everyone was busy with good
funeral work. The stock is arriving in
fine shape from the range. Mr. Wright
is showing ,a deep pink sport from
Prima Donna, in the way of September
Morn, but a shade darker in color.

At the Montebello establishment of
the H. N. Gage Co. I noted a lot of fine
Boston and other ferns, and the whole
place is much improved in appearance.
The work on the new office and other
improvements is going along rapidly.

At the new nursery of the Germain
Seed & Plant Co. an immense new re-
inforced concrete tank has been built,
to be filled by gravity from the reser-
voir on the property and to serve as a
storage tank in case of a breakdown.
A motor and pump are being installed
to provide pressure for the new green-
houses in prospect, and for the large
lath house and nursery grounds.

C. Morton and Mrs. Morton left the
city for Phoenix, intending to drive
there by easy stages. Fred Sperry ac-
companies them as far as Redlands.

The publicity committee for the

Cleveland flower show, November 10
to 14, is "some committee," when its
members come so far from home to
boost their show as to our favored city.
T. J. Eitzenthaler, of Knoble Bros.,
and Geo. P. Schaab, Jr., of the James
Eadie Co., both were callers this week
and both were handing out cordial in-
vitations to the Los Angeles brethren
to visit Cleveland. Rudyard Kipling
wrote, "East is east and west is west
and never the twain shall meet," but
east is meeting west and west is meet-
ing east this year, to the advantage of
both.

R. W. Saakes left this week for San
Francisco, to attend the convention and
the big show. His brother, O. C.
Saakes, will leave September 9 and ex-
pects to be gone about six weeks.

Frank McCabe, of the A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago, is calling on the trade
this week.

H. W. Turner, of Montebello, left Au-

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

There was a good deal of decorative
work last week, which enabled the trade
to utilize most of the stock offered.
Counter trade was good for this time
of year, and is getting better distrib-
uted over the city, following a general
improvement in business conditions. An
important factor in the decorations was
the monster parade of Butchers' day,
August 10, in which more elaborate
floats than ever appeared. Flowers
were given the preference over the
usual bunting, etc.

The lines of stock offered show little

change. There are still a good many
sweet peas, nearly all short and poor.
The carnation supply is about the same
as the week previous. Asters are still
plentiful, including perhaps a little
more trashy stock, but on the whole
good, and they are well taken. Street
venders handle great quantities of them
Of the numerous varieties of summer
stock that have been so plentiful for
the last month, practically all are still
offered in as large quantities as can
easily be sold. Amaryllis is seen every-
where, and is rather slow to clean up.
A few scattered lots of zinnias are ap-
pearing, but they are not much of a
factor except with shops that make a
specialty of them. Gladioli are still
fairly plentiful, and vary greatly in
.quality. Some fine Niagara are offered,
Mrs. Francis King are good and plen-
tiful, and a few nice Panama are seen.
Dahlias are good. Some are excep-
tionally fine, but the supply is irregular.
More are expected in the next few
weeks. As for roses, Ophelia continues
in the lead, with Hadley and Russell
showing better quality. Most of the
stock in other varieties is short and
poor. The demand so far has been lim-
ited. More orchids could be sold than
are available. Gardenias, of which
there is a fair cut, sell readily. Lilies
still hold a prominent position. Stor-
age giganteum is more in evidence,
rubrum and tiger still quite plentiful,
and auratum finer than ever. A large
quantity of cyclamen blooms is ap-
pearing.

Many chrysanthemums are offered.
They are still a novelty and clean up
readily, though the quality is poor.
Many florists believe that it is a poor
policy to try to advance the market for
chrysanthemums. They think it would
be better to hold them back, at least

i

CWE WISH TO ANNOUNCE to the trade
that, owing to the growth of our busi-
ness, we have been compelled to secure
larger quarters.

We have moved to 451 Bush Street,
where we have facilities and space to handle
the increase in our shipping trade, control-
ling the output of over fifty growers of all
varieties of stock.

Yours for more business and better ser-
vice in the future,

The Florists' Review

A«€HIM 10. iois.

■'iuit!l September 1. Before i*ftt, the
florists say, maay other kinds of good
stock are still plentiful, and the early
mums, though having no merit in them-
selves, simply disturb the market. Con-
sequently, later on, when chrysanthe-
mums have the market much to them-
selves, the novelty will have worn off,
and people will no longer pay high
prices for them.

Society Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was
held on the evening of August 7. As
this was the last regular meeting be-
fore the S. A. F. convention, the meet-
ing was well attended, and matters per-
taining to the convention took prece-
dence over nearly everything else.
Arrangements were made for the local
ladies to take the members of the
Ladies' S. A. F. for an automobile ride
Wednesday morning, August 18, and
for a theater party for the ladies and
a. smoker at the Elks' auditorium xor
itie men Thursday evening, August 19.

K. Gill and John Vallance were called
upon to speak of the Pacific Coast Nurs-
erymen's Association's convention, Au-
gust 12 to 14.

It was announced that the ladies
connected with the trade of San Fran-
cisco and vicii ity had formed a perma-
nent organization, taking the name of
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society. Financial Sec-
retary Meyer gave an encouraging re-
port on payments of dues which had
been in arrears. It was decided to ap-
propriate $25 for prizes for the bowl-
ing contest. Henry Heer was admitted
to membership.

An interesting part of the evening's
program was a short lecture on the iris,
by S. B. Mitchell. Much of the discus-
sion was given to the so-called German
iris and types native to the Mediterra-
nean region in general, as especially de-
sirable for garden planting in Cali-
fornia.

The evening's exhibits included a re-
markably fine exhibit of eleven speci-
mens of hybrid seedling gladioli, by
Bichard Diener, judged at ninety-nine
points. These were described as the re-
sult of one crossing in each case, a new
process being used. The blossoms were
all large, and some showed remarkably
fine colors. F. T. Pelicano showed four
specimens of cactus dahlias, originated
by Mr. Fincking and named after Mr.
Pelicano; and a vase each of Dahlia
Hampton Court and Gladiolus Niagara.
The whole collection was rated at sev-
enty points. E. Shillig brought a lot
of late Crawford peaches, which were
rated at seventy-five points and were
afterward much enjoyed by some of the
members. H. Plath showed a good
specimen of Nephrolepis tuberosa, in
a 14-inch pot, which took eighty points.

Various Notes.

Sydney H. Bayersdorfer, of H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, ac-
companied by Martin Eeukauf, travel-
ing representative of the house, was
on the ground early to arrange for
their firm's exhibit at the convention.

Other early arrivals for the conven-
tion were Frank McCabe, of the A. L.
Bandall Co., Chicago; Jacob Hess and
Mrs. Hess, of Omaha, Neb., and John A.
Evans, of Richmond, Ind.

Frank Pelicano is bringing in some
flne Kalif dahlias, about ten inches in
diameter. He says they are just start-
ing^ tmd will be still better in a week

Outdoor stock, such as gladioli, asters
and sweet peas, has fallen off in quality
as well as quantity. There are a few
good dahlias being shipped in. At the
downtown stores there is a scarcity of
good'stoch. Trade, however, is holding
up wonderfully well, and no one is com-
plaining. Business resulting from the
numerous tourists and funerals has add-
ed a large item to the regular trade.

The Market.

Last week there were few social
events in flower buying circles, and
there was only a fair demand for fu-
neral work. The stores are filled with
prime stock, much of which will be
wasted unless conditions change. Asters
are the leading flowers, followed by
gladioli, roses, rubrum and auratum
lilies, sweet peas and garden flowers, in
the order named. Market conditions
are not below the normal for the sec-
ond week of August.

Various Notes.

J. A. Wilson is spending his vaca-
tion with his family at the seashore.

The family of James Forbes, and
Mrs. L. W. Scott, are spending the
summer at the beach.

Clarke Bros, had on^isplay last week
the first Golden Glow chrysanthemums.

A. Hanson built a range of green-
houses at Twenty-sixth and F streets,
Vancouver, Wash., about five years ago,
and with the assistance of Mrs. Hanson,
he has done a successful business as
a grower and florist. At the rear he
dug a mushroom pit and walled it with
concrete, but finding mushrooms an un-
certain crop, he put a glass roof over
the pit and grew Asparagus plumosus
instead. Being located in a fast grow-
ing city, which has passed the .10,000
mark, Mr. Hanson is likely to need
more glass before long.

R. E. Jones, representing the Advance
Co., of Richmond, Ind., visited the
greenhouses last week. He is working
toward the south and expects to at-
tend the S. A.-F. convention.

A. H. Dailey, a florist at Knoxville,
Tenn., accompanied by his family,
stopped over on his way home from
the exposition.

Of the store force of Martin &
Forbes, Edward Boyse, and A. P.
Normart and family, have visited the
fair. Ernest Dozier went to Bremer-
ton, Wash., where he has friends. The
family of William Fehrenbacher is at
the coast, but he is remaining at home.

Hector Adams, of the Albany Floral
Co., Albany, Ore., called on some of
♦,he local florists last week.

the mums. The next day Mr. Hanson
cut his surplus mums and sold them to

QUALITY IN ASTER SEED

To the Members and Friends
of the S. A. F.:

Tbe quality of seed you buy is of utmost importance
to you. Your most careful cultivation, your liberal appli-
cation of fertilizer and your diligent attention to details
will never produce a good crop from poor seed.

It takes time and thought and much hard work to
produce tbe best results in any line, and in no business is
the general public more deceived than in the buying of
various seeds.

The poor quality of asters produced from seed sent us
from time to time has caused us to take up the work of
aster seed growing as a protection against crop failures ;
and, as a result, the H. & F. Quality Asters have become
well known to all the leading florists of the Pacific north-
west as first-grade stock.

Owing to the location of our plant, only a small per-
centage of the traveling public see our fine fields of asters
and are therefore not in position to accept the facts so
readily as one visiting the place and seeing actual results.
However, many satisfied users of this seed have done us
tbe kindness to write concerning their unusual success,
and we feel sure the seed we oflFer will make friends for
us of a large populace in the near future.

Trusting that you may have the confidence to at least
test the H. & F. Quality Aster Seed next year,

■WB ask that you kindly send us your
name and address, so tliat w^e can mail
you our new circular as soon as ready.

Jane 22 to 24. 1916.

T. E. Peyton and his workers at the
Peyton Nurseries, Boonville, Mo., re-
cently went on a fishing trip on the La-
mine river. The journey was made in the
company's tree-frame. The fishermen
brought back one dozen catfish weigh-
ing about a pound each. The party con-
sisted of J. L. Moore, C. W. Eench,
Francis Bench, Charles Bauer, Lester
Barr, Hall McLaughlin, O. C. McLaugh-
lin, Thomas Peyton and T. E. Peyton.

HEAD SELI.S NUESEBIES.

Thomas W. Head, who has for the
last four years conducted the Bergen-
field Nurseries, at Bergenfield, N. J.,
has sold the place to the Stumpp &
Walter Co., of New York, which oper-
ated the establishment as its trial
grounds and nursery before Mr. Head
took it over. The Stumpp & Walter Co.
has leased the nurseries to Herman
Fisher, of West Hoboken.

Mr. Head was employed on the Mor-
ton P. Plant estate, at Groton, Conn.,
for many years. After traveling as the
representative of the Stumpp & Walter
Co. for a time, he took over the nurs-
eries which he has now sold back to
the firm. His plans are not known,
but it is expected he will remain in the
borough at least until the expiration of
his term as councilman, at the first of
the coming year.

OALIFOBNIA NUESEBYMEN MEET.

Officers Elected.

Little change was made in the roster
of officers of the California Association
of Nurserymen at its fifth annual con-
vention at San Francisco, August 13
and 14. A switch of Christian names
sufficed in naming the new prewdent,
although the persons are quite distinct,
Charles Howard, of Hemet, succeeding
Fred H. Howard, of Los Angeles. John
Vallance, of Oakland, and T. E. Mabee,
of Fresno, were re-elected vice-presi-
dents, and G. F. Otto, of San Diego, and
Max J. Crow, of Gilroy, named with
them. Henry W. Kruckeberg was re-
elected secretary - treasurer. On the
executive committee, J. D. Meriwether,
of Los Angeles, and F. H. Wilson, of
Dinuba, were re-elected, and John Gill,
of West Berkeley, chosen to succeed W.
V. Eberly, of Niles.

ifornia Association of Nurserymen in
conjunction with it attracted to San
Francisco over 150 members of the
trade, and made the sessions of both
organizations of exceptional interest.
Northern nurserymen came down from
Portland together by steamer, arriving
August 11.

At the business session of the Pacific
Coast Association plans were formed
for a closer relationship with the hor-
ticultural inspectors in the various dis-
tricts. More uniform and more favor-
able laws throughout the states of the
Pacific coast were, as usual, the subject
of much discussion. The parcel post

RAILWAY OABDENEB8 CONVENE.

In Session at Detroit.

The Railway Gardening Association
is holding its ninth annual meeting at
Detroit, August 17 to 20, with an at-
tendance of about thirty members,
somewhat less than last year's. The
first two days were spent in business
sessions at the convention headquarters,
the Hotel Ste. Claire. Tuesday, Aua:u8t
17, at 10 a. m., the association listened
to the address of President Paul Hueb-
ner and the report of Treasurer J. K.
Wingert. Secretary W. F. Hutchison
was kept away by business, and his
place was taken by Chas. E. Lowe.

At the afternoon session the same
day and at the morning session the fol-

read by the chairmen of the various
committees. I. T. Worthley, of the
committee on soils and fertilizers, gave
a most interesting demonstration of

three all plants not proving true to
description.

"First, the permanent committees
upon the several subjects under which
all of our work may be grouped. It is
intended that the membership in these
committees be slightly changed each
year, but that a broad scheme for the
systematic development of each topic
be followed continuously, working from
the most general aspects of the subject
gradually into the details, and collect-
ing all available information upon each
phase of the subject as we progress, as
was stated in my recent letters to chair-
men of committees. In this way we
should ultimately accumulate a large
and orderly mass of facts of everyday
value, to railway gardeners especially,
but also to gardening people in general,
and such results should warrant a dis-
tinctive recognition of our association
for practical achievements.

"Second, the suggestion has been
made that for our future meetings we
follow the points of the compass in suc-
cessive years. This is our northern
meetihs:; let next year be our southern
meeting, then an eastern and then a
western meeting. Further, it is sug-
gested that the date of meeting be de-
termined largely by the climate of the
place where we shall meet, later for
northern and vice versa. Consideration

now think of using them, instead of
watching with jealous eyes his neighbor
florist's store and criticising his way
of doing business, and we all will be
better satisfied, aside from being bet-
ter men and better florists.

I think it is folly for the New York
men to dictate to the man in Detroit
how to advertise. It is a much safer
way for each man to study a plan or
system by which he can get the most
publicity in his locality. After this is
done an indorsement by a national cam-
paign is absolutely in order, but before
that it would be throwing away money.

Few Must Do Work.

National advertising is a good deal
like cooperative advertising. It is up
to a few to do the work to the best of
their ability, and even after they can
show the best results it is hard for the
few to collect the money from the
others.

There is absolutely no doubt in my
mind that Mothers' day would never
have become the great benefit to the
trade that it is, had it not been for
the florists in different localities who
took this proposition in hand and fol-
lowed it up. Some day I hope Mothers '
day will become the same as Easter or
Christmas to the florists' trade. Yet,
ask the fellows who do the actual work,
and hear what they have to say about
plugging to get even a hearing with
some of their brother florists. You may
be surprised when I tell you that they
sometimes almost have to beg and
plead for the other fellows to come in
with them, aside from doing the hard
work. And I venture to say right here
that if they were not successful, they
would never be forgiven, although even
tho best of us may make a misjudgment
sometimes.

Cleveland is going to have a big
flower show next fall, and the way
the florists there go at the advertising
is worth the study of a great many.
Not just one or two individuals in the
florists' trade will get the benefit from
this advertising, and the men who are
doing the work should be honored and
appreciation should be shown them by
their brother florists. I sincerely hope
they will get this without any curtail-
ment.

Trade Needs Publicity.

If publicity and advertising in the
florists' trade will keep on increasing
as it has increased within the last five
years, I can safely state that in another
five years the trade will be on more of
a business basis than it is now. The
time is past when a merchant or busi-
ness man could not be a florist unless
he was a graduate of a greenhouse.
Today the most prominent retail flo-
rists have graduated from merchants'
offices or business institutions.

The grower, of course, does not like
this as well as the old way, but let
the grower produce a pretty plant, or
cut flowers, then add the artistic taste
of the up-to-date retailer, and let him

place it on the market in his way, and
watch the success.

The success of the Ford automobile
is not so much due to the mechanic
who puts the car together as to the
merchant's ways of publicity, the of-
fice, clerical and financial organization.
These factors have had the most to do
with the upbuilding of this organization
ajid of thousands of other large and
successful concerns in this country, and
in every case you will find that the
largest part of the publicity- was stud-
ied out not so much by the practical
and theoretical man as by the man
with the most up-to-date business ideas.

Back Up Advertising.

Of course, I have come back to my
first statement, that advertising must
begin with getting up an article which
will stand on its merits and which you
can fully back up before you reach out
for publicity.

I could keep on writing on these lines,
but I should always come back to my
first assertion, that before we can think
of a national advertising campaign we
must have, first of all, representative
retailers in every town who will back
up our preaching and give the best of
service, following it up with prompt
payment of their bills and not allowing
them to run for three, four or six
months, or even longer.

There are many florists in this coun-
try who seem to forget that the repu-
tation for prompt payment of bills is
one of the greatest a man can get.
After all, it is nothing but business-
like.

I hope that within the next few
years advertising will be so increased
that no city will ever be able to re-
port in the trade papers a glut or over-
stock of the market. It is up to the
retailers to get rid of the growers'
production, not up to the growers.

Zumbrota, Minn. — S. B. Scott, the
local postmaster, has secured the ma-
terial for one house from the A. Dietsch
Co., Chicago, and will embark in the
florists' business when it is completed.
He will in connection operate a small
nursery, dealing in ornamental shrubs,
hedge plants and the like.

Tampa, Fla. — The Knull Floral Co.
has moved its store and oflSce to 408
Tampa street, near the corner of La-
fayette. This seems an almost ideal
location, for it is in the loop, at a
street car transfer corner, and only one
block from the firm's gardens. The
plate glass front affords opportunity for
good display. Show cases along either
side of the room and the refrigerator
with glass on all four sides at the rear
of the store make the customer's first
view of the interior a pleasing one.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Tlie Market.

Business is unusually good this sum-
mer. It is stated by some retailers so
far to have increased over last sum-
mer's by twenty-five per cent. Some
attribute the fact to better window dis-
plays more than anything else.

Stock of all kinds is plentiful. Gladi-

The most noticeable feature of the
business during the last few weeks has
been the decrease in the supply of flow-
ers, particularly indoor stock. Business
he - been exceptionally quiet, and even
funeral work has been quite scarce
lately.

As usual, we have had showers quite
frequently, and some of the outdoor
stock is badly deteriorating. Boses
have been scarce. Carnations are poor,
and the trade has to depend to a great I
extent on outdoor stock to meet the
demand. Gladioli and asters take the
lead. Of the former everything good
can be said as to quality, quantity and
the variety of colors produced. Asters
are exceedingly good, but do not sell
as readily as gladioli. The prices they
bring are only fair. Field-grown carna-
tions are coming into the market, but
as yet in only limited numbers.
Hydrangeas, dahlias, Shasta daisies and
double coreopsis complete the supply of
flowers.

Various Notes.

The bad roads caused by the recent
heavy rains did not deter several flo-
rists from motoring through Ohio and
Michigan last week. One party left
Tuesday, August 10, for Detroit and
Toledo, and was composed of Mr. and
Mrs. Aaron Shive*, Mr. and Mrs. Rich-
ard Blossom, Miss C. B. Flick and Miss
Marguerite Flick. In Toledo they were
the guests of Miss Helen Patten, of
the Patten Flower Shop. Bad roads be-
tween Toledo and Detroit prevented the
party motoring into Michigan, and so
the trip was made by boat. The va-
rious flower stores were visited in the
two cities. The party was accompanied
to Fort Wayne by Miss Florence
Delano, of Toledo, O.

Frank J. Knecht, his son, Walter
Knecht, and two daughters, Gertrude
and Martha, motored to Detroit recent-
ly, and called principally on the whole-
sale establishments. B. F.

practically no supplies were received by such growers

and from present appearance it is not likely that the
situation will be changed this fall, we are pleased to
state our supplies have not been affected by this
embargo, and we are carrying our usual full line of sizes of
the usual Dreer quality ; but as the general scarcity is cer-

oli take the lead; the stock is the best
that has ever been on the market,
America being the leader. Asters are
more plentiful and of exceptionally
good quality. Lilies of all kinds are
plentiful and good. Boses are not too
plentiful.

Various Notes.

Henry Kusik & Co, report business
in general is fair. They had a splen-
did shippii J business last week.

The S. Bryson Ayres Co. is cutting
fine asters and gladioli, of which the
company has a large quantity both in
the field and greenhouses.

Adolph Mohr has his greenhouses
well filled with mums, begonias and
poinsettias.

Ed Ellsworth has about 10,000 fine
poinsettia plants. He devotes much
time in the summer to this one plant
and wholesales a great number.

W. J. Barnes has started his con-

crete bench work. About one-half of
the place will have this kind of bench.
No more wooden benches for him.

Business across the state line has
been exceptionally good. Funeral work
was heavy. Gladioli and asters mostly
are used.

Wm. Foith has his place in excep-
tionally good shape. His prospects seem
to be good for the coming winter. Ha
expects an early cut from his carna-
tions this fall. W. J. B.

DENVER.

The Market.

There is no change in market condi-
tions since last report. Gladioli,
dahlias and asters are arriving in large
quantities. There are enough roses and
carnations to supply all demands. Calls
are beginning to come in for blooming
plants, such as cyclamens, Begonia
luminosa and B. Prima Donna.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Mary Jane Dungan, who was em-
ployed at the Bargain Flower Store, on
Fifteenth street, committed suicide in
her room at the Monroe hotel August
5, by taking lysol.

One of the greenhouses of the City
Floral Co. caught fire from an oil stove
that was placed under a bench to give
a little more heat to the poinsettia cut-
tings. The fire was discovered and put
out before it had spread much. The
smoke, however, ruined most of the
plants in that house. The poinsettia s
are a total loss, but some 1,500 ferns
can be cut back and started again.

Maude Feaiy, a well known actress
and a Denver product, appeared last
week at the Denham theater in a play
entitled "Sauce for the Goose." On
the opening night Miss Fealy received
enough flowers to require six ushers to
pass them over the footlights at the
end of the second act. Nothing like
it had ever been seen on a Denver
stage, but the florists hope that it will
be done often from now on.

President Patrick Welch, of Boston,
and E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., were
among the large number of eastern flo-
rists who stopped over for a few days
on their way to the S. A. F. convention.

Friday, the thirteenth, proved to be
an unlucky day for a large number of
vegetable growers in this vicinity. A
severe hail storm passed over this sec-
tion, and their entire crop was beaten
to the ground. As far as I can learn,
no greenhouses were in the direct path
of the hail.

Verner J, Davis, superintendent of
Crown Hill cemetery, has everything in
the best of condition at the cemetery.
Mr. Davis shows with pride a consid-
erable number of excellent specimens

"A Bird in the H^id"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangrea in America is worth several Azaleas
ia Belgium right now. Of course, the Azaleas may get out of Belli ium; we dou't
know; couditioDS may chang^e; certaialj it is not possible to get auytbing out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't.
Are you goiug to take that chance? Can you aif ord to depend altogether ou im ported
forcing stock, when there is pleoty of good forcing stock rig^ht here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $25.00 the 100.

5 and 6
4

at 20.00 the 1*10.
at 15.C0 the 100.

French Novelties, all the best ones, at $6.00 the ICO addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom. They
will grow into money for you, and j ou can cash 'em next Easter.

There ivon't be any sur-
plus of bloomings plants next
Springy. Stick a pin in that. We\Kant
every progressive florist to get in
touch with us.

MTLWAUEEE, WIS.

Tlie Market.

The weather last week was much bet-
ter than it had been for several weeks.
The sun was with us for about half the
time, and conditions consequently were
much more endurable. The sun brought
on a heavier crop of all stock, but there
was nothing like a glut on the market.
The market is fairly good. All stock
is moving to a greater or less degree.

Carnations are becoming scarcer
every day. The old plants are almost
gone. Growers report that they are
well planted up with the new stock.
They say that there will be a cut from
the plants in a short time. Boses are
still scarce, but the supply has in-
creased materially because of the bright
weather. The demand, however, is
fully equal to the increased supply,
and the stock is being cleaned up daily
with little or no difficulty. Some fancy
roses are to be had at reasonable prices,
and the buyers are taking all that they
can obtain. Asters are plentiful, and
the quality is good. The early varieties
are showing up favorably, and they are
moving better as the supply of carna-
tions decreases. There are also plenty
of excellent gladioli. There is an abun-
dance of rubrum and Easter lilies seen
on the market daily. Outdoor sweet
peas are a thing of the past, but there
are a few good indoor peas, which find
a ready market.

Taking all into consideration, busi-
ness is good this year, although there
are some radical pessimists who are
continually crying hard times. Orders
have not fallen off so much as in previ-
ous years, and the only indication of
anything out of the ordinary is the
slowness in meeting obligations.

Pohl, left Thursday, August 12, for an

CreenhoBse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE OOAL MABKET.

Reporters of conditions in the fuel
market are announcing, fn prominent
headlines, that there is a likelihood of
both a coal shortage and a car shortage
in the near future, because the neces-
sary purchasing by American users
has been long delayed and exports are
increasing. From this it naturally fol-
lows, they say, that * ' the profl|icers are
in control and will soon be able to dic-
tate prices."

The mine operators, throughout the
season, have been restricting the out-
put in order to control the market. The
buyers meanwhile have postponed or-
dering, in the hope that the situation
would change and prices would tumble.
In the west, it is said, not more than
twenty-five per cent of the normal quan-
tity of coal has been placed in storage.
Exports at present are estimated to be
more than 100 per cent above normal.
It is predicted, therefore, that before
long the burden imposed upon both
mines and railroads will be heavier
than can be borne.

Such is the coal men's view of the
general situation throughout the coun-
try. The Chicago correspondent for
the Black Diamond expresses similar
opinions. "Technically the market is
strong," he says, "though actual buy-
ing is still below normal. As one of
the operators expressed it, about the
only domestic business that has been
done this summer has been the selling
of coal to schools and the public utili-
ties companies. Naturally, with the
storage movement and the regular fall
buying to be taken care of in the next
two and a half months, and with trans-
portation difficulties disturbing, the
market is exceptionally strong, with the
operators in command of the situation.

"The smokeless situation has not
changed much in the last week. Some
differences, mainly among the oper-
ators, over the question of policy, have
disturbed prices a little in Chicago on

Business last week was quiet. There
were a number of funerals and wed-

the florists. Sweet peas are plentiful,
and can be had for 20 and 25 cents per
hundred. Dahlias are beginning to ar-
rive, and they are good. Roses are
abundant.

EXPRESSIONS FROM MEN WHO KNOW BOILERS:

li

THE LEADING GBOWEB IN VEBMONT.

I have the Kroeschell Boiler six years; it is heating
17,000 sq. ft. glass. No other but a Plate Boiler for
me. (Signed) H. M. TOTMAN, Kandolph, Vermont.

WELL KNOWN IN THE GOLDEN WEST.

Our No. 2 Kroeschell is doing fine work and I am
wel^ pleased with it.

(Signed) G. P. BUTLER, Jr., Santa Cru^ Cal.

ONE OF BOSTON'S WELL KNOWN GBOWEBS.

The Kroeschell has taken the place of four cast iron
boilers at a big saving in coal. We are using it now
for the fifth year. The longer we use it the better We
like it.

(Signed) A. B. KNOWLTON, No. Grafton, Mass.

THE PLANT KING OF THE WEST.

have used Kroeschell Boilers ever since I built my
first greenhouse. They have always given me the very
best satisfaction and I believe them as good boilers
as money can buy.

I \ (Signed) F. OECHSLIN, Chicago, 111.

OHIO'S CELEBBATED CYCLAMEN SPECIALIST.

After using your No. 12 Kroeschell Boiler I came to
the conclusion that had I to install more boilers it
would be the Kroeschell and no other. It really is a
pleasure to heat, no trouble to get the desired heat in
a very short time.

(Signed) CHRIST. WINTEBICH, Defiance, Ohio.

THE QUALITY PLACE OF BOSTON.

Regarding the Kroeschell, it is the best we have ever
had and satisfactory beyond our expectations. It heats
up especially quick and has aaved us considerably
already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of
another boiler we will give the Kroeschell the first con
sideration.

(Signed) WM. W. EDGAR CO., Waverley, Mass.

A BIG MAN IN THE FLOBICULTDBAL WOBLD.

The Kroeschell Boiler I installed last year usually
runs from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. .without attention. I do
not have the least trouble to keep temperatures in the
coldest weather. The boiler has given entire satis-
faction.

The Kroeschell is the best boiler we have eiver
handled.

(Signed) CHARLES TOTTY, Madison, New Jersey.

A FAMOUS ILLINOIS BOSE RANGE.

In speaking of the Kroeschell Boiler as an economical
greenhouse boiler I cannot say too tnuch. Personally
I have had the pleasure or misfortiVe to fire nearly
every make of G. H. Boiler on the market and I can
safely say the Kroeschell is the best of them all.
(Signed) CHA8. McCATJLEY, Riverbank Greenhouses,

Geneva, 111.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSHROOM PLANT.

We spent $100,000 in building and equipping the larg-
est modern mushroom plant in the world. We 'pur-
chased in every instance the best of everything we
could get, and the fact that we installed a Kroeschell
Boiler to furnish our heat is sufficient evidence of our
opinion of same.

Since installing this boiler and operating it we have
never had any reason to change our opinion.
(Signed) FALMOUTH MUSHROOM CELLARS, Inc.,

Falmouth, Mass.

A WELL KNOWN CARNATION PRIZE WINNER.

The carnation range of Mr. Nic Zweifel, of North
Milwaukee, consists of nearly 70,000 sq. ft. glass and
the entire plant is heated by a No. 14 and No. 15
Kroeschell Boiler and Kroeschell Generator. The prod-
uct of the plant is known throughout the West for its
fine quality. Mr. Z. has used different kinds of boilers.
As for the Kroeschell Boilers, he says: "I think the
Kroeschell Boilers are the best boilers a florist can
buy." (Signed) NIC ZWEIFEL, No. Milwaukee, Wis.

ANTS IN LAWN AND GABDEN.

Ill reply to inquiries as to methods
of exterminating anj^^, a circular has
been issued by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. As a matter of fact,
says the circular, these ants do little
harm. In large numbers, however, the
small conical nests which they build
on lawns are somewhat unsightly and
on this account it may be desirable in
some cases to destroy them.

Where only a small area is to be cov-
ered, the simplest method is to drench
the nests with boiling water. Another
simple remedy is to spray the lawn
with kerosene emulsion or with a
strong soap wash prepared by dissolv-
ing any common laundry soap in water
at the rate of one pound or one-half
pound to a gallon of water.

For larger ant colonies, bisulphide of
carbon, which can be purchased at any
drug store, is eflFective. This substance
can be placed in the nest by means of
an oil can or small syringe, the quan-
tity required varying from one-half
ounce for a small nest to two or three
ounces or more for a large one. After
the bisulphide of carbon has been in-
jected, the opening should be closed by
pressure of the foot, in order to retain
the bisulphide. This will penetrate
slowly through the underground chan-
nels of the nest and kill the inmates.
It is important to remember that while
bisulphide is perfectly harmless if kept
away from all fire, it is inflammable.

Ants are frequently noted on roses
and other plants, and it is naturally
supposed that they are doing harm to
these. As a matter of fact, it is not
the plants that attract the ants, but
plant lice. These tiny creatures ex-
crete a sweet liquid of which ants are
fond, and which they collect without
injuring the plant lice.

He Says:

"The best thing that ever
came out for greenhouses

»

Federal Elastic Cement is not a new product — it had been
used for years for waterproofing and airproofing before Florists
found it and called our attention to its special value for green-
nouse glazing, particularly for tightening the roofs of old houses. 1 1

B, L. Elliott, proprietor of the John Bader Co.,
Pittsburgh's largest plant grower, wrote, April 6,
1915 :

"I would say anyone who has old houses and doe* not
use this Cement is missing a ijrood thins.

"We usrd Federal Elastic Cement on sixteen old
houses In July, 1914. They were in pretty bad shape,
but since then not one llsht of ffiass ha<i blown out. Had
it not stopped any leakaare we would have been well paid
in the »avinfr of breakaee. If we had to put it on every
yrar we would do so, but it looks today the same as It did
last fall. It Is a little hard to put on, but we think It is
the best thinar that ever came out for greenhouses."

Federal Elastic Cement never grows hard or disinte-
grates in the package; never crumbles or pulls loose on the
roof; lasts at least five times as long as putty; water-tight;
holds the glass firmly.

We make a special grade for greenhouse glazing— a
thinner, short-fiber consistency that can be used in a
putty bulb or mastica machine. Black is best, but almost
any color can be furnished.

The price of Federal Elastic Cement, greenhouse grade, is:

Per barrel (560 IbH.) per pound, 8c

Per half-barrel (30" lbs.) per pound, 8c

Per kee (lOO or 150 ll>8.> per pound, lOc

Price on trial pails quoted on request. Special prices in
quantities of a ton or over.

One pound goes as far as two to tliree pounds of putty. It
therefore is the cheapest as well as "the best thlnv that
ever came out for greenhonses. "

If you have a leakyfg^tter, fill the joint w^ith Federal Elastic Cement. Fine for roofing^.

DOUBLE-FLOWEBINa PEACH.

What is the botanical name of the
double-flowering peach used for cut
flowers, and how and when can it be
propagated f E. M. — N. .T.

There are several forms of the com-
mon peach, or Prunus Persica, that
carry double flowers, but what we gen-
erally see used, for cut flowers is either
Prunus triloba, with large double pink
flowers, or Prunus Japonica flore pleno
rubra, with double rose flowers. It is
propagated by budding in spring on
such stocks as Prunus domestica, P.
cerasifera or P. Avium. These latter
stocks are all easily raised from seed.

Discontinue pinching your stevias by
the middle of August. You can prolong
the blooming season for stevias by keep-
ing your plants in a cold house which
just excludes frost, and bringing a
batch into a warmer house from time
to time. This is not possible, of course,
where you plant your stock in benches,
but pot culture is the most profitable
for the average retail grower. C. W.

NOW, MR. GREENHOUSE OPERATOR: You know
what it costs you in money and labor to keep your putty
glazing in serviceable repair. "Permi-tite" glazing eliminates
all this expense and labor. It is permanent gflasing, that
will not have to be repaired bo longf as the house
stands. Glass cannot slip, nor can it blow out, and your
roofs will be watertight and will not leak.

GRAPE GBOWEB'S EXPERIENCE.

Beferring to the inquiry of J. T. W.,
under the head of "Grapes Under
Glass," in The Review for August 5,
in regard to the possibility of growing
grapes under glass as a paying proposi-
tion, I wish to give my experience in
the growing and marketing of English
hothouse grapes in and around Chicago
some twenty-five years ago.

I happened to have two houses on the
estate of which I had charge. One
house was forced for early market, the
crop coming in about April 15 and on
through May, before the California
grapes began to come to the market.
The varieties were those C. W. gives,
but Gros Colman was grown in the late
house. It is a large, handsome grape,
but poor in flavor. The price I used to
get was from $2.50 to $5 per pound
wholesale. A man in the grocery busi-
ness in Chicago took my whole season's
cut one year at the above prices. He
catered to north side residents.

When Joseph Biggs, a caterer, on
North Bush street, Chicago, conducted
a flower store at North State street and
Chicago avenue, he used to pay me $5
per pound for select bunches, that would
weigh from one-half pound to three
pounds each. Mr. Gallagher, who at
one time had a flower store on Wabash
avenue, paid $700 for the crop of the
two houses one year.

For early forcing I had Black Ham-
bro, Muscat of Alexandria and the
Bowood Muscat. I used to start the
early house in October, which brought
the grapes into market in April.

The late house contained Alicante,
Mrs. Pince, Gros Colman, Madresfield
Court and Golden Hamburgh. This late
house was started in March, so that the
fruit would come in for market in the
fall, about September, and continue up
to Christmas.

If I were growing hothouse grapes
today, I should do as C. W. suggests,
work up a select trade of the best
hotels and private residences. I think
there is good money to be made in
those lines.

You can use the early vinery for
forcing early pot plants. I used to
start my pot roses, azaleas, bulbs, etc.,
in it. The late house can be put to
service for storing dormant stock.

Any further inquiries concerning
grape culture will be cheerfully an-
swered by me. Thomas Evans.

The

Right Preseription

€^ The continued operation of a piece of machinery,
day after day, week after week, year in and year out, with-
out proper attention; the failure to supply right oil in
right quantities, poor fuel and little of it, means loss of
efficiency, dwindling profits and, at last, a serious breakdown.

A horse that is driven all day long and 'most of the night,
stabled in poor' quarters, given poor food and, in fact, neg-
lected in general, becomes less an asset and more a liability,
until finally he is a total loss.

A man who is on the job year after year, with short sleep-
ing hours, working under a continual strain, no recreation,
no interest outside of the four walls of his shop, is bound
for the scrap heap, and sooner or later he will find himself
up against a serious problem — how to get back on his feet
physically and mentally.

As a business man, you are careful of your machinery and
of your horses, although perhaps not so careful of yourself.
We are all apt to overlook our own health in the race for
the dollar, and regret it when too late.

^ Now, about the soil on your benches, upon which
your success depends in no small way — is it worn and weak
and non-producing ? You may be wondering why a bench
that produced a bumper crop two years ago is practically a
failure this year. Do you know that your soil is right ?

We'll give the ordinary grower credit for rotating his crops
and resorting to the compost pile occasionally, which is all
very good, but to feed a starving man French pastry when
he craves beefsteak is cruelty.

We have a complete soil-testing laboratory and can find out
with no uncertainty when a soil is starved for one of the
component parts. If you want chrysanthemums, we can
help you produce chrysanthemums by building your soil for
the purpose.

A STANDASD PANSY.

There is in England a National
Pansy and Viola Society. It has
adopted the following standard for
pansies:

Form. — The outline should be a per-
fect circle and free of every notch, ser-
rature, or unevenness, the petals lying
closely and evenly on each other.

Texture. — The petals should be thick,
and of a rich, glossy, velvety appear-
ance.

Color. — In all the flowers the ground
color, of whatever shade, should be per-
fectly alike in all the three lower
petals, and should be circular, and of
equal width between the blotch and the
belt in the three lower petals. The
colors in the top petals may run into
each other. The margin of the under
petal should be regular and distinct,
as also the margins of the two side
petals of the flower. The margins of
the three petals should all meet, and
form, as it were, three parts of a circle.
The blotch should be large, dense and
solid, and of a circular character, free
from all running into or through the
ground color, or the eye.

Eye. — This should be bright gold or
orange, and solid, without mixing or
running into the blotch, and should be
exactly in the center of the bloom.

Size. — The larger bloom, other prop-
erties being equal, should be the better,
but no flower should be considered flt
for competition under two and one-half
inche: diameter.

Selfs. — Of whatever color should be
of the same shade throughout, in yel-
low, white, blue, or any other shade;
the denser the blotch the better.

manure, packing house tankage or adulteration of any kind.

WIZARD BRAND therefore stands for the best you can buy when you want Manure for
any kind of use — mulching, dry or liquid feeding, mixing with potting or bench

soil — in fact, the all-round safety fertilizer that should be in every greenhouse storeroom,
always ready for instant use when conditions of stock or weather changes call for quick
action to protect your crop. Dried at a temperature exceeding 1000*' P., WIZARD
BRAND MANURE is absolutely sterile, no fungus or bacteria to make trouble. Just pure,

The Florists' Review

August 19, 1915.

WASHINQTON, D. C.

The Market.

About all that one sees in the mar-
ket at the present time are asters, gla-
dioli and roses. There is no let-up in
the supply of asters. The supply of
gladioli is slackening to some extent,
but the demand is decreasing also.

The new crop of locally grown roses,
although still coming in with short
stems, shows great promise. Many
growers are this year trying out\
Ophelia and Hadley, while others who
had heretofore felt that Radiance would
not find a place in the market are
planting houses with that variety.

There is absolutely nothing doing on
carnations, for the few that are com-
ing in are hardly worthy of mention
and undesirable at any price. Easter
lilies are still plentiful and in little de-
mand. Orchids are out of the market
as far as Washington is concerned, and
it is difficult to get them from other
cities at a fair price.

Various Notes.

The members of the Florists' Club
of Washington are looking forward to
the next meeting, to be held Tuesday
evening, September 7, when they will
be the guests of Edward E. Schmid at
his annual crab feast.

Henry Witt, of Silver Hill, Md., is
just in receipt of a letter from his
brother, Detlef Witt, who was engaged
in the florists' business with him for
nearly three years, but who returned in
July, 1914, to his home in Holstein, near
Hamburg, Germany, to take charge of
the large farm of their father. He was
drafted early this spring and is now
serving in a German regiment of in-
fantry around Biga, Russia.

A letter from Brune, Switzerland,
states that if they have luck, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Pfister will leave for Wash-
ington this week. Upon his return here,
Mr. Pfister will look over the field
preparatorjy^ to again engaging in the
retail business. Prior to sailing for
Europe he conducted a store on Con-
necticut avenue, northwest.

Among the week's visitors were
Charles E. Barton, of Norwalk, O., and
Harry Quint, of Boston, Mass.

C. Jj. L.

Detroit, Mich. — E. A. Fetters recent-
ly let a contract to the Maclean Build-

Amarillo, Tex. — The Amarillo Green-
houses, owned by J. E. Kallenbach,
were nearly a total loss following the
hail storm of last week. Not only was
the glass broken, but the stock was
badly cut up, so that assistance will be
needed in restocking the place. Car-
nations, geraniums and ferns suffered
especially.

Salem, O. — The Cowgill Floral Co.
has been incorporated with a capital
stock of $10,000. The incorporators are
E. I. Kille, Henry Trotter, Thomas G.
Reese, A. M. Wilhelm and C. C. Camp-
bell. The business was formerly con-
ducted by V. A. Cowgill, who filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy in
•Tune of this year. When the green-
houses were subsequently put up at pub-
lic sale they were purchased by Joseph
Bonsall, who has been in business here
for a number of years.

Holdrege, Neb.— The Davidson Floral
Co. has completed the erection of its
show house, 20x70 feet, of all-steel
truss construction. The side facing the
street has been fitted with plate glass,
which affords an excellent display of
the flowers and plants, and greatly en-
hances the appearance of the establish-
ment. Recently a hail storm broke most
of the glass of the greenhouses. While
this was unfortunate, it permitted a
more thorough overhauling and repaint-
ing of the structures. Two coats of
paint have made the range look like
new.

THE REWARD

Building greenhousee right is our hobby. The mere turning out of material
with which to build is only a small part of the service which we give in return for
your money. Each problem with which you have to cope is taken into consider-
ation and with o«r years of experiAice we solve them all. The height, width,
length and position, each is an important factor in the success of your houees and
all of these get special attention. For a practical house the "Dietsch" is best.

The Market.

Beports of overproduction are heard
on all sides. Fifty per cent of the sup-
ply of outdoor stock would be plenty,
and the results would be decidedly bet-
ter for the grower. By outdoor stock
I mean principally gladioli, asters and
sweet peas. The demand is about as
usual for this time of the year. Busi-
ness with some, however, is ten per
cent better than it was last year. Low
prices on quantity lots are no attrac-
tion to retailers, who buy only as they
need stock. Never before have carna-
tions lasted so long and been so good
in quality as this season. Good carna-
tion stock is still to be had. Boses
are fine and the demand cleans up the
supply. The growers keep the market
well supplied with the newer varieties
of roses. Much bench room is devoted
to Mrs. Bussell, Mock, Ophelia and
Cecile Brunner. Lilies are not over-

Slentiful. Valley is good and in fair
emand. Beauties are good and the
supply equals the demand.

SPEEDING THE*

i^ PARTING GUEST

iVo man, or woman, who attended the San Francisco convention ever
can regret the time and mx)ney spent; hut those who did not nmke the trip
have their leisure to regret they could not he present to enjoy the Calif or-
nians' hospitality. Closing days of the S. A. F. meeting full of novelty,
and, departing, the visitors took with them many a pleasant memory.

IME-honored as is the pic-

Tnic with which the
S. A. F. has these many
years closed . its annual
four days' gathering, the
San Franciscans have
shown that there are other
and better ways of speed-
ing the parting guest —
but, of course, they had
the help of their wonderful fair. Fri-
day, August 20, was the day named by
the exposition officials as S. A. F. day,
arrangements being made for the mem-
bers at the society and their friends to
attend in a body. They assembled in-
side the main entrance, opposite the
Tower of Jewels, shortly after ten
o'clock, about 150 being present, and
marched in a long line, headed by a
section of the Exposition band, to the
space in front of the
Palace of Horticulture,
where a group photo-
graph was taken, repro-
duced in this issue of
The Review.

Medal Presented.

The party took seats
before the portico of
the building and
Charles A. Vogelsang,
being introduced by
President Welch, wel-
comed the S. A. F. of-
ficially on behalf of the
exposition authorities,
closing with the pre-
sentation of the bronze
exposition medal. In
his talk Mr. Vogelsang
emphasized the fact
that the flowers and
ornamental horticulture
of the exposition were
among the most impres-
sive features and that
the., fair is largely in-
debted to them for its
success. He dwelt at
length upon the assured
and growing importance
of flowers to life and
civilization.

Charles Willis Ward,
of Queens, N. Y., and
Eureka, Cal., accepted
the medal on behalf of
the society. He quoted
statistics as to the
growth of the florists'
industry since the or-
ganization of the
S. A. F. in 1884 and as-

serted his belief that holding the con-
vention on the coast this year would
be followed by a large expansion of the
trade interests in California. As one
of the visitors, he said:

"Two years ago I came to Cali-
fornia ill and discouraged. I expected
to remain only a few weeks. I am
still here, ill and discouraged no more,
but happy and well and anxious to do
things. If any of my brother florists
don't want to catch that spirit of
California, which will bind them to
the shores of the Pacific, better go
back home soon — you can't remain
here many moons without contracting
a deep love for California, and once
you fall in love with her you cannot
break 'the spell of her charms with
ease; you will have to come back, and
finally remain."

E. G. Hill, of the committee on final
resolutions, then offered a resolution of
appreciation " of the hospitality of the
San Francisco people, and of the en-
tire Pacific coast, and giving thanks
individually and collectively to the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society, and
the local florists and nurserymen, as
well as to Mayor Rolph and the city
and exposition officials. This was
adopted.

The Fresidents' Gifts.

President Welch then started to ad-
journ the convention and was taken
completely by surprise at the interrup-
tion which occurred. H. Plath assisted
in lugging a huge mahogany chest of
silver to the platform, and launched
into a speech of presentation. ' Mr.
Welch was greatly affected by this
token of regard, and
was so completely sur-
prised that he could
scarcely find words in
which to respond. After
adjournment the chest
was opened and greatly
admired by the mem-
bers, who crowded the
platform for some time.
The crowd then dis-
persed, most of the visi-
tors going to the horti-
cultural gardens, where
the fine exhibits of
gladioli, dahlias, roses,
etc., and particularly
the prize contest beds,
were subjects of much
interest. Many of the
party spent the entire
day at the exposition
and all the visiting la-
dies gathered at the
California building at
3:30, for a reception to
the retiring president of
the Ladies ' S. A. • T.,
Mrs. Gude. Here they
spent a pleasant two
hours, visiting and list-
ening to talks from va-
rious members, the most
interesting part of the
proceedings being the
presentation to Mrs.
Gude of two handsome
bowls of California red-
wood burl, as a fitting
reminder of her visit to
California. Mrs. Val-
lance, the incoming
president, made the
speech of presentation.

The Florists^ Review

AUGUST 26, 1^X6.

Members of the Society of American ^Florists and ttieir Ladies who Participated in the

Judges' Beports.

The judges of the trades' display
were J. J. Hess, Frank Pelicano and
William F. Gude. Their report was as
follows:

~"We find only two entries for com-
petition, also a number of exhibits
worthy of consideration; we, there-
fore, recommend that a certificate of
merit be awarded to H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., of Philadelphia, for their elab-
orate and instructive display of new
and novel florists' baskets and supplies.

"We recommend that a certificate of
honorable mention be awarded to the
M. Eice Co., of Philadelphia, for large
and interesting display of florists' ac-
cessories and novelties.

"The committee also highly com-
mend the elaborate trade exhibit of flo-
rists' supplies of the A. L. Bandall Co.,
of Chicago.

"We also recommend a certificate of
merit for the high quality exhibit of
novel ribbons and also baskets exhib-
ited by S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of
Philadelphia.

"To Domoto Bros., of San Francisco,
the society's bronze medal for new
double hydrangeas.

' ' We further recommend the society 's
bronze medal to Bayersdorfer & Co.,
of Philadelphia, for new and novel
ideas in baskets.

"To Richard Diener, of Colma, Cal.,
the society's gold medal for improved
and unusual gladioli in sizes and color.

"To The Ferneries, San Francisco,
certificate of merit for exceptionally
high class collection of ferns and palms.

"To Henry J. Kessel, honorable men-
tion for Adiantum California.

"To Superior Nursery Co., /Los
Angeles, Cal., certificate of merit for
ferns.

"To the Swiss Floral Co., Portland,
Ore., honorable mention for exhibit of
rare, well grown petumias.

"The society's bronze medal to
Herbert & Fleishauer, Portland, Ore.,
for exceptionally large and unusually
well grown asters.

"To Mrs. F. J. Eeidy, San Jose, Cal.,
bronze medal for exceptionally fine and
meritorious display of dahlias.

"To J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, silver
medal for new begonia, Mrs. J. A.
Peterson.

"To John A. Evans Co., Richmond,
Tnd., bronze medal for new detachable
pipe hangers.

"To the Advance Co., Richmond,
Ind., certificate of merit for general
display of ventilating apparatus and
greenhouse accessories."

An exhibit not recorded in the other-
wise full description of the trades' dis-
play which appeared in The Review for
August 19 was a large specimen of
the new fern, John Wanamaker, shown
in the exhibit of the Pennock-Meehan
Co. and J. R. Fotheringham. It was
grown in the greenhouses of E. James,
Oakland, from a small plant sent out
by the Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia.

Secretary Young Reelected.

The unanimous election of President
MacRorie, Vice-president Kerr and
Treasurer Kasting was reported in The
Review for August 19, but during the

nominating of officers, a decided sur-
prise was sprung by Dan Raymond, of
San Francisco, who introduced a little
variety into the proceeding by propos-
ing John R. Fotheringham for the office
of secretary, in opposition to John
Young. This was, in fact, as much a
surprise to Mr, Fotheringham as to
anyone else, as few had been apprised
of Mr. Raymond's intention. But a
good many of the eastern people, no
doubt, thought that "the Wild West
bunch" was trying to "put something
over." The result was that, after a
lot of lively electioneering during the
evening and early morning, Thursday's
meeting opened with a feeling of sup-
pressed excitement in the air. At the
opening of the meeting, when every-
thing was ready for balloting, the con-
test flattened out when President Welch
announced that Mr. Fotheringham had
withdrawn his name.

Disciission at Closing Session.

A telegram of best wishes was then
read from "The Old Guard" at Phila-
delphia, which was appropriately ac-
knowledged.

The question, "What are we going
to do to increase the supply of carna-
tions for Mothers' day?" started a
lively discussion. The proposition to
"grow more" was hooted down as im-
practicable. On the question whether
it would be practicable to remove the '
terminal bud and get a lot of side buds
developed, opinion was divided. Sev-
eral reported a measure of success with
this method, while others figured that
the resulting loss of quality would re-

act injuriously. The prevailing opin-
ion was that efforts should be made to
encourage the use of other flowers, and
even plants; the prevailing idea being
that the matter rests mainly with the
manager of the retail store, the sales-
man, and the advertising man, who
should endeavor to divert attention to
other flowers. Several recommended ad-
vertising and pushing * the idea first
conceived by The Review and the use
of the phrase this paper coined:

For Mothers at home, flowers bright,
In Mother's memory, flowers white.

Several reported gratifying results
from club or individual advertising of
flowers and plants, without distinction
of color or variety. In this connection
the suggestion was made that the so-
ciety raise a sum of money, the idea
being expressed that $10,000 would be a
suitable amount, for the purpose of pre-
senting Miss JaTvis, who originated
the Mothers' day idea, with a substan-
tial testimonial of appreciation for the
great benefit accruing to the flower
trade from Mothers' day. The matter,
after some discussion, was referred to
the executive board.

The discussion was followed by a
brief talk by John McLaren, superin-
tendent of Golden Gate park, who ex-
pressed a hearty welcome and apprecia-
tion of the presence of the S. A. F. in
San Francisco.

C. W, Ward, of Eureka, brought up
the matter of setting aside lands for
the protection of bird life, etc., and
mentioned the project on foot in Hum-
boldt county, Oal., to reserve 22,000

acres of redwood forest. In further-
ance of his scheme, he invited a num-
ber of members of the S. A. F. and
the Association of Park Superintendents
to visit the timber and desired that
some of them should be appointed as
a committee to report on the project
at the next annual meeting. After
some discussion, Mr. Ward himself was
made chairman of the committee, with
l^ower to add new members.

Richard Vincent, of the newly formed
American Dahlia Society, spoke of the
show to be held in New York in Sep-
tember and asked official recognition
for this, "the newest offspring of the
S. A. F, " The meeting voted to recog-
nize the new society.

Hans Plath, president of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society, which has
acted as host to the S. A. F. during
the visit to San Francisco, was called
for and gave a brief outline of the
work of the local society, closing with
an invitation to participate in the Oc-
tober flower show at the exposition.

H. A. Hyde, of Watsonville, Cal., in-
troduced six boxes of Skinner Seedling
apples from Pajaro valley, sent up by
the Watsonville Chamber of Commerce.
They were greatly appreciated by all
present and elicited a hearty vote of
thanks.

Robert Pyle, of West Grove, Pa.,
gave a short talk on roses, emphasizing
particularly the fact that roses of Euro-
pean origin are imperfectly adapted to
American conditions and the desirabil-
ity of using more roses originated in
America; also of encouraging American

growers to work for new and useful
varieties.

A letter from Prof. E. A. White, of
Cornell, on the subject of horticultural
education, was put before the meeting.
It was decided to print it in the rec-
ords without reading, as the time was
growing late.

A letter from the secretary of the
American Boiler and Radiator Manu-
facturers' Association regarding pend-
ing legislation in some eastern states
was ordered put in the record and
turned over to the committee on legis-
lation.

George Asmus, of the national
flower show committee, presented an in-
vitation to members to participate in
the show at Philadelphia, and G. W.
Smith, of Cleveland, asked recognition
for the show at that place this fall,
which was granted by vote of the meet-
ing, which at the same time gave recog-
nition to the shows at Chicago and
San Francisco.

Smoker and High Jinks.

The smoker and jinks Thursday eve-
ning, August 19, at the Elks' Club,
was remarkably well attended, nearly
300 sitting down at the tables, includ-
ing many employees at local stores,
growers, and others who had been un-
able to attend any of the meetings,
while the eastern visitors turned out
well.

The early part of the evening was
occupied with light entertainment, fur-
nished by talent from some of the local
theaters, and an amateur boxing bout
by some l)oys from the Olympic Club,

Gathered in Front of the Civic Auditorium on the Opening Day of the MeeUng, August 17,

together with good smokes and a light
but appetizing repast, sandwiches,
salad, California ripe olives, and the
like, with plenty of good beer. An at-
mosphere of complete informality and
good-fellowship prevailed, and both
local people and eastern visitors had a
decidedly good time.

The joyous feature of the evening
was the presentation of the $150 prize
offered by President Welch to the one
securing the greatest number of new
members for the S. A. F. This was
presented to Daniel MacRorie, who had
brought in 102 members, in a happily
worded talk by W. F. Kasting; and,
as might be expected, the presentation
was the occasion of prolonged and up-
roarious applause. Mr. MacRorie 's re-
sponse was in keeping with the spirit
of the occasion and he made the offer
of a similar prize for the person secur-
ing the greatest number of new members
during the coming year. Retiring
President Patrick Welch spoke briefly
in response on behalf of the society.

While the men were at the smoker
and jinks, the Ladies' S. A. F. and
tne local auxiliary spent the evening
at the Orpheum theater, most of the
ladies of both organizations being pres-
ent. The performance was a good one,
and at its close the ladies enjoyed re-
freshments at the Ruffieux cafe.

Bowling Interest Waning.

The bowling contest scheduled for
the ladies was omitted. The men's
bowling contest took place as sched-
uled, Thursday afternoon, August 19, at
Graney's alleys. A good many were
present, but only a dozen took part,
and most of these were members of the
local society, the only outsiders being
W. W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind., George W.
Smith, of Cleveland, and C. Gutting,
of Los Angeles. The first prize, the
Aphine trophy, was taken by Victor
Podofita, the star bowler of the exposi-
tion city, whose score in the first game
was 170; second, 202, and third, 159.
Next highest was C. Gutting, of Los
Angeles, who made 181 in the first

game; second, 175, and third, 158. Mr.
Smith was third, with a total of 493.

^ Ladies' Automobile Ride.

The visiting memberg of the Ladies'
S. A. F., accompanied by a goodly dele-
gation of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society,
left the convention hall immediately
after their business meeting August 18,
for an automobile ride down the penin-
sula into San Mateo county. The origi-
nal intention as to the route was not
followed out by all members of the
party, owing largely to the fact that
the occupants of some of the machines
insisted on getting ahead of the official
leader, while some were left far to the
rear. The result was that the party be-
came rather widely' scattered at times.
Most of the party visited the conven-
tion gardens at Golden Gate park,
either at the start or on the return trip,
but little attention was given to the
numerous nurseries, violet farms, etc.,
in the district visited. The main route
lay along the state highway, a perfect
piece of automobile road, through roll-
ing country, bordered by large estates
and little towns of cozy bungalows, and
overhung everywhere by rows of fine
elm and eucalyptus trees. Leaving the
state highway at San Mateo, the party
wound among the foothills of the Santa
Cruz mountains, and circled the pic-
turesque lakes of San Andreas, Pilar-
citos and Crystal Springs. While the
road here was rather dusty in spots,
the beauty of the country was greatly
enjoyed. Starting back toward the
city, the eighteen machines reached
Uncle Tom's Cabin, a roadhouse near
San Mateo, about .'5 o'clock. By this
time all appetites were whetted to a
fine edge and ample justice was done
to the repast set before the travelers.

P. Muller, Wichita, Kan.; C. L. Wash-
burn, Chicago, and Fred Burki, of
Oibsonia, Pa., as direfetors. The hold-
over directors are Anders Rasmussen,
J. C. Vaughan, J. A. Valentine and
Samuel Murray.

The assessment for the year begin-
ning November 1, 1915, was set at 14
cents per hundred square feet for sin-
gle thick glass, and 6 cents per hun-
dred square feet for double thick
glass. , ,

PARK SUPERINTENDENTS. ;

The eastern delegation to the San
Francisco convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Park Superin-
tendents had a most enjoyable trip
across the continent, making the run
by comfortable stages and stopping off
for a day each at Chicago, Minneapolis,
Spokane, Glacier National park, Seat-
tle, Tacoma and Portland. At each
place they were hospitably received
and conducted on trips to the most
notable public parks or other places of
interest in the various localities.

cisco meeting were:

President — E. T. Mische, Portland,
Ore.

PBAISE TO CALIFOENIA.

[Response to the address of welcome, by Wm.
F. Oude, delivered at- the San Francisco conT<'n-
tion.Mugust 17. 1915.1

W|i«| T was told to respond to the
speech 6f welcome by His Honor, nat-
urally I was greatly flattered, because
the circumstances surrounding this con-
vention mark it as an epochal one in
the annals of our organization, but
when I began to read " some of the
countless pages that have been written
on the wonderful state in which we
hold our meeting today, of its great
natural beauties, of the paradise created
by the master minds of the Panama-
Pacific exposition company, I felt, also
quite naturally, that I needed the pen
of Austin, the oratory of Webster and
the imagination of Poe to do justice to
the subject.

Then I recalled, Mr. Mayor, how in
the past weeks you have heard, and in
the weeks to come will hear again,
gifted visitors glorify your state, your
city and the exposition, until you have
arrived, or will do so, at the state of
mind of the reigning beauty of each
season, who views favorably only the
man who, when first presented, refrains
from commenting on her charms.

So instead of imitating the poets and
prose writers who have attempted —
even though they only partially suc-
ceeded— to tell of the wonders, the
beauties, the hospitality and the charms
of your golden land, T am going to
come right down to a plain, unvarnished
statement, and say that we acknowledge
with deep gratitude your courteous in-
vitation and cordial welcome to the
Golden Gate.

As practical florists, it may be that
we appreciate more than the average
visitor to your shores, vour floriculture
and horticulture, and, from the expres-
sions I have heard already, everv mem-
ber here present of our society has ex-
perienced a double pleasure, that of the
thrill which pervades every citizen and
the practical feeling of the florist when
he consifTers how you have seized on
and multiplied the advantages given
yoti by nature.

The Wonderful Exposition.

Let me quote from a clever writer's
story of a recent trip to the exposition,
as expressing our views of your won-
derful accomplishment. He says:

"The exposition is all that is claimed
for it, and more. It is so big and won-
derful that it fairly takes one's breath
away when you first behold it. The
buildings are majestic and of magnifi-
cent architecture and coloring; the
grounds are simply beautiful in flowers
and foliage such as only California can
produce; the statuary and sculptured

figures are works of advanced art —
everything, in fact, is at once pleasing^
to the eye and yet impressive with the
daring elaborateness which character-
izes every detail of this, the world's
greatest exposition."

Being warned in advance that we
should hear something, from every loyal
native citizen, of your wonderful cli-
mate, I will not touch that subject.

Putting my first thought in another
way, no man living can do justice in
words to your beautiful state and city,
nor does the man live who can suffi-
ciently praise the giants who have made
so much of opportunities.

But we cannot refrain from express-
ing in our feeble way some appreciation
of you fortunate residents who have
built this wonder-city for the world to
see and admire.

Every monument, every exposition,
every great work has its inception in
the mind of some one individual. Who
was the genius, Mr. Mayor, who first
conceived the idea of this monumental
work? His name should be glorified in
your annals, so that, even as your giant
redwood trees tell the story of the
weather in the reign of King Ahab, it
should be possible for the visitor to
these shores, 2,000 years from now, to
learn the name of the man whose genius
first pictured the ppssibilities of the
Panama-Pacific exposition.

Philadelphia, Pa. — A building permit
has been issued to J. L. Nichols for a
greenhouse, 50x100, which he .will erect
at a cost of $1,000.

Cleveland, O.— The Cleveland Cut
Flower Co., at its establishment at
Newton Falls, has completed the erec-
tion of a greenhouse, 49x400, which
will be devoted to roses. Another
house, 24x200, is being built for tJie

PRAISE TO CALIFORNIA.

1 Kosponse to the address of welcome. Iiy Win.
I". Gude, delivered at the .Sun Friiiu-isco comtcii-
lion. Aufjust 17. lOl.'i.l

When T was told to resi)ond to the
speech of welcome by His Honor, nat-
urally I was greatly flattered, because
the circumstances surrounding this con-
vention mark it as an epochal one in
the annals of our organization, but
when I began to read some of the
eountless pages that have been written
on the wonderful state in which we
hold our meeting today, of its great
natural beauties, of the paradise created
by the master minds of the Panama-
Pacific exposition company, I felt, also
quite naturally, that I needed the pen
of Austin, the oratory of Webster and
the imagination of Poe to do justice to
the subject.

Then I recalled, Mr. Mayor, how in
the past weeks you have heard, and in
the weeks to come will hear again,
gifted visitors glorify your state, your
city and the exposition, until you have
arrived, or will do so, at the state of
mind of the reigning beauty of each
season, who views favorably only the
man who, when first presented, refrains
from commenting on her charms.

So instead of imitating the poets and
prose writers who have attempted —
even though they only partially suc-
ceeded— to tell of the wonders, the
beauties, the hosi)itality and the charms
of your golden land, T am going to
come right down to a jilain, unvarnished
statement, and say that we acknowledge
with deep gratitude your courteous in-
vitation and cordial welcome to the
Golden Gate.

As i)ractical florists, it may be that
we api>reciate more than the average
visitor to your shores, vour floriculture
and horticulture, and, from the expres-
sions T have heard already, everv mem-
ber here jjresent of our society has ex-
perienced a double pleasure, that of the
thrill which pervades every citizen and
the practical feeling of the florist when
he considers how you have seized on
and multii)lied the advantage-! given
you by nature.

The Wonderful Exposition.

Let me (^uote from a clever writer 's
story of a recent trip to the ex[)Osition,
as expressing our views of your won-
derful accomplishment. He says:

"The exposition is all that is claimed
for it, and more. Tt is so big and won-
derful that it fairlv takes one's breath
away when you first behold it. The
buildings are majestic and of magnifi-
cent architecture and coloring; the
grounds are simply beautiful in flowers
and foliage such as only California can
produce; the statuary and sculptured

figures are works of advanced art —
everything, in fact, is at once pleasing
to the eye and yet impressive with the
<laring elaborateness which character-
izes every detail of this, the world's
greatest exposition. ' '

Being warned in advance that we
should hear something, from every loyal
native citizen, of your wonderful cli-
mate, I will not touch that subject.

Putting my first thought in another
way, no man living can do justice in
words to your beautiful state and city,
nor does the man live who can suffi-
ciently praise the giants who have made
so much of ojjportunities.

But \vc cannot refrain from express-
ing in our feeble way some ap|)reciation
of you fortunate residents who have
built this wonder-city for the worM to
see and admire.

Kvery monument, every exposition,
CAcry great work has its inception in
the mind of some one individual. Who
was the genius, Mr. Mayor, who first
conceived the idea of this monumental
work? His name should be glorified in
your annals, so that, even as your giant
redwood trees tell the story of the
weather in the reign of King Ahab, it
should be ])Ossible for the visitor to
these shores, L*,()00 years from now, to
learn the name of tlie man whose genius
first jjictured the possibilities of the
Panama-Pacific exposition.

Philadelphia, Pa.— A building permit
has been issued to J. L. Nichols for a
greenhouse, .'SOxlOO, which he will erect
at a cost of $1,000.

Cleveland, O.— The Cleveland Cut
Flower Co., at its establishment at
Newton Falls, has completed the erec-
tion of a greenhouse, 49x400, which
will be devoted to roses. Another
house, 24x200, is being built for tJic
carnation department.

HOW HOUSTON GOT IT.

The living wall — of mesembryanthe-
mum— seems to cause more talk than
any other floricultural feature of the
fair. But all the trade visitor^ agree
John McLaren has done his work ex-
tremely well.

One of the curious features of the
convention is the small number of those
who were at Boston last year who are
present. Why did so many members
vote for San Francitfcoif they did not
intend to go? *- -

The contest for the priie of $1,000
for the best new rose must be a dis-
appointment to the exposition officials.
There are entries enough, but not suf-
■ficient plants to make a showing worth
the money even if they had done well,
which they have not. The prize doubt-
less will bQ awarded to keep faith,
but the test is not an adequate one.

The majority of those who have vis-
ited the Pacific coast this season have
stopped, going or coming, at Denver
and, jof course, called on J. A. Valen-
tine. Mr. Valentine was not able to
attend the convention. Mrs. Valentine
has been seriously ill for many weeks
and the esteemed ex-president of the
society has not cared to absent himself
from home this summer. It is deeply
regretted that little improvement in
Mrs. Valentine's condition can be re^
ported.

"Look at what I got. for a dime at
the corner," said a florist's wife as
she held up a big bunch of sweet peas
for the inspection of her worse half,
attending the convention. The quan-
tity of flowers exposed for sale on the
streets of San Francisco was the sub-
ject of general comment, no less than

the low prices. Those who think flow-
ers are plentiful and cheap in the east
this summer ^liould. have atte])4ed t^e
conventioi,-;-!,*^^ _-v-/ ■■'•;■: -'' f^ .'•.><■;,■•;■'•
Mildew ! Mildew every-w^here!
Scarcely a clean rose to be found any-
where, cut, in the greenhouses, in gar-
dens or on the exposition grounds. The
cold nights and the heavy fogs are, of
course, responsible for the condition.
Eastern visitors to the convention ap-
preciate that th'^ growers around the
bay have their own troubles.

San Fxaricisco has some splendid
flower stores, a surprising number of
first-class places charging- first-class
prices when one takes into considera-
tion the extent of the street competi-
tion. And the quantity of stock car-
ried during the summer season is a
revelation; few eastern stores make a
better showing in winter.

The gardening at the exposition is
wonderful when one takes into consid-
eration the character of the soil. Of
course nearly all the large plants are
in boxes and good soil was provided
in the places stock was planted out,
but the salt is beginning to work in
and in many places the plants ng^ are
going backward. Between soil and
climate at San Francisco, an excessive
amount of work is required to keep
plantings up to the mark, but John
McLaren - has done wonders, both at
the exposition and at Golden Gate park.

Such dahlias most of the eastern
visitors never had seen, and the gladi-
oli and many other subjects have won-
derfully bright colors under the influ-
ence of San Francisco's climatic con-
ditions.

I'lilverslty. Published by the MacmlUan Co..
' New York. Contains 467 pages, with about fifty
riill-page halftone illustrations. I'ricc, tmund lu
ilotli, $1.75.]

This is the latest volume of the
"Rural Text-Book Series," which is
being prepared under the editorial su-
pervision of L. H. Bailey. Take note,
then, of the high standing and the un-
questionable responsibility of the au-
thor, the editor and the publishers, and
form your own opinion as to the degree
of merit that may therefore be expected
in the book. And your expectations,
though great, are not likely to be dis-
appointed.

The book is notable for its concise-
ness and comprehensiveness. It treats
of greenhouse construction and heating,
and of store and greenhouse manage-
ment, as well as the production, packing
and shipping of cut flowers and plants.

Like the other volumes in the series,
this work was intended for use as a
text-book, and it is one of the well-ma-
tured results of Professor White's ex-
perience as a teacher. In the years that
he has spent in teaching, and in watch-
ing the practical application of his
teaching, he has gradually discarded
the non-essentials and added greater
emphasis to the essentialSj until his
s, methods have reached the ^t^dUjf '.fl^'
velopment represented in tWB^^ob'k..
The principles embodied in the book
have thus received a thorough test.

But, though the book was designed
primarily for school use, the author
states, modestly enough, that he * ' hopes
it may be of service in a useful way
to practical men." And why should
he not have such hopes! The object of
the book is to aid effectively in tranaa
forming learners or students into
shrewd, successful florists, and that is
certainly a desirable object, whether at-
tained in school or out of it.

Though nothing may entirely take the
place of a good course of training at

a horticultural school, the persevering
use of such a book as this will be the
nearest possible approach to a substi-
tute for such a course.

It is probably true that much of the
matter in the book is elementary, but
are not the elementary facts the very
ones in which the majority of people,
wheHkor florists or others, are most de-
ficient? Even the florist who was born
and raised in the business is still ha^.y
and uncertain in his knowledge of some
of the fundamentals. And those who
fairly jumped into the trade, with lit-
tle or no preparation — as if jumping
into deep water without knowing how
to swim — will find this book a most
helpful adviser.

The author's literary style is almost
ideal for the purpose, since he expresses
his thoijghts in brief, pointed sentences,
which seldom require a second reading
in order to be clearly understood. And
the illustrations, as well as the text, arc

of a practical character; they are not
mere embellishments.

lishers' price.

Paper Whites and Roman Hyacinths.
Shipments of Paper Whites and
Roman hyacinths may reasonably be
expected within a few days. However,
owing to the European war and lack of
ocean carriers, supplies will not come
to hand with the regularity of former
years. Just as soon as the bulbs do
arrive, a good batch should be placed
in flats, for this is by far the most
satisfactory and economical way of
growing these bulbs. Paper Whites are
sometimes planted in benches, but the
space they take up can be occupied
more profitably by other crops, as the
flats can be stored in sheds, cellars or
coldframes, or even below benches
where there is little drip, and later
can be placed on benches in batches
as required. For these bulbs, use good,
new soil, containing some old pulverized
manure and sharp sand.

Schizanthus.

Make a first sowing of schizanthus
now for early flowering. Us«« 8. Wise-

tonensis or one of the so-called improve-
ments on it. This is the only schizan-
thus which is compact in habit and the
one most adaptable for pot culture.
Sow the seed in pans. Be sure not to
allow the seedlings to become drawn.
Prick them oflf into flats when large
enough to handle and later pot them
singly, using a light but moderately
rich soil. Keep schizanthus growing
all the time, never allowing it to be-
come potbound until in its flowering
pots. It wants cool treatment, with full
sun and abundant ventilation all the
time. Sometimes this plant is propa-
gated from cuttings, but these never
make plants at all equal to seedlings
in size, vigor or quality.

Cyclamens.

Cyclamens for blooming from Thanks-
giving to Christmas should now be in
their flowering pots and be kept grow-
ing either in a light greenhouse, with
moderate shade, or in coldframes where
removable shades can be used; the

plants will thus be prevented from be-
coming drawn. Use a light but fairly
rich soil, containing three parts of
fibrous loam and one part of decayed
cow manure, with some powdered char-
coal and sharp sand. If you have a
light soil, it is better not to use any
leaf-mold at the final potting, but if
your loam is heavy and retentive, one-
fifth of leaf-mold will improve it. Be
sure to drain the pots well. Do not
bury the corms. Leave an ample space
for water.

It is again time to make sowings of
cyclamen for flowering in the early win-
ter of 1916. If the seed is not yet
bought, lose no time in securing it.
For early sales, red and deep pink are
the favored colors, but light pink, sal-
mon and pure white will sell better
later in the season. Use flats or pans
that are well drained. Let the compost
be mainly leaf-mold, somewhat flaky
below, screened finely on the surface
and mixed with fine sand. Make the
surface level before sowing the seeds
and merely scatter a little fine sand
over them. Protect from sunshine and
place in a warm, moist house to ger-
minate.

Foinsettlas.

There is still time to propagate poin-
settias to be made up into pans. The
earliest propagations, if intended to
produce large bracts, should be either
planted in benches or shifted into 6-ineh
pots. The plants will grow well in any
ordinary greenhouse for some weeks
yet, but as the nights become cool and
the bracts show they need a good heat,
they should have a temperature of not
less than 60 degrees at night; otherwise
the loss of foliage will be heavy and
the flowers will be late in developing.

Disease on Snapdragons.

Partly because of humid climatic con-
ditions and partly because of careless
propagation and the leaving of cuttings
too long in the cutting bench, there
seems to be this season an unusual epi-
demic of disease on snapdragons, par-
ticularly on stock propagated from
cuttings. Just as soon as those little,
round spots on the leaves are discerni-
ble, pick off affected leaves and spray
with Bordeaux mixture or Fungine. Do
the spraying on clear days, so that the
plants will become dry before night.
Keep this spraying up at intervals of
four or five days, in order to check the
spread of the disease. If you see
leaves affected, examine the stems near
the surface of the pots. You are likely
to find spots there and sometimes a
brown ring or girdle about the stem.
If only one or two spots show, the
plants may be saved. If the discolora-
tion encircles the stems, such plants
may just as well be burned; they may
keep green for some time, but will soon
go off with stem-rot after planting.

Growers should use the greatest care
at this season with their snapdragons,
or the disease will spread with great
rapidity and whole batches of plants
will be decimated. Do not syringe the
plants; or, if you do, be sure they are
dry when the sun sets. Do not keep
front ventilators open, which would ad-
mit damp air. Rely on seedlings rather
than cuttings for stock, as the seed-
lings possess far greater vigor.

Oardenias.

Care is necessary to avoid giving gar-
denias an excess of water now. The

plants may not show any ill effects of
overwatering for a time, but, as the
weather becomes cooler, buds will be-
gin to drop heavily and the leaves will
take on the yellow tint which is the
bane of gardenia growers. The benches
will now be getting fairly full of
roots, and, in order to reduce the num-
ber of waterings, a light mulch is ad-
visable. Use half rotted leaves rather
than cow manure. If manure is used,
let it be old and crumbly, such as can
be got from a spent hotbed or mush-
room bed. In order to keep mealy bug
down, frequent syringings are neces-
sary, but during damp, sunless weather
it is better to leave the foliage dry.
Maintain a minimum temperature of
65 degrees.

Scented Verbenas.

Verbenas outdoors now have an
abundance of nice, soft cuttings. Those
rubbed off with a heel are the least
liable to damp off. If a propagating
bench is not at disposal, make up a
single sash in one of the coldframes,
so that a brisk heat can be bottled up.
The present is also a good time to root
some heliotropes and scented geraniums.
The latter, however, need somewhat
cooler and airier quarters than the
scented verbenas.

FLOWERS AT THE FRISCO FAIR.

In looking over the exhibit of flow-
ering plants at the San Francisco ex-
position, one of the main things that
appeals to the man from Chicago is the
choice quality of what might be called
the garden flowers. The planting of
gladioli is extremely fine and, in fact.

is the best I ever have seen. The
dahlia exhibit was a disappointment, as
the quantity planted out was less than
I had expected to see. There was an
extremely fine exhibit of daisies. While
it was not large, still it was excep-
tionally good and had a great many va-
rieties that we never see in the east.
The planting of sweet peas was not
large, but those that were in the horti-
cultural gardens were extremely fine.
I saw some varieties that were bent
down, similar to our method of growing
Beauties, as they had attained such a
high growth that they had turned the
vines along for three or four feet on
the ground and then let them grow up
again. I was told that these peas have
been in bloom since May 1. There cer-
tainly are some good varieties there,
with extra long stems. The planting
of carnations was so small, and the
plants had made such poor growth, that
it would have been better to have dug
them out. The planting of roses was
quite large, but the plants had made
poor growth.

The writer had visited the grounds on
which the plantings are made some
three years ago and can appreciate the
difl&cuity the horticultural commission-
ers encountered in getting good soil.
The tract on which the gardens are lo-
cated three years ago was the scrubbiest
piece of ground that could be imagined
and all the soil had to be hauled in and
made, so that with a number of the
plantings the soil was not adapted to
the best development of the plants, es-
pecially roses. The plantings for the
$1,000 prize best variety of new rose
were a disappointment, for not over a
dozen varieties out of about seventy-

five had made a good, healthy growth.
The writer's idea of a good outdoor
rose is one that is a vigorous grower
under almost any condition, and also a
continuous bloomer. It is not so much
the quality of the flowers, as it is that
there should be plenty of them. There
are about a dozen varieties in this
prize exhibit that looked good to me.
The general view of the exposition
from the floral standpoint is extremely
good. The planting around the building
and grounds has been done in such an
artistic manner that it is of the great-
est possible value to the general ap-
pearance of the exposition and worth a
great many times the cost of the work.
The wall surrounding the grounds on
two sides, and a great many bare places
which needed to be screened off, were
filled with flats or small boxes of ice
plant and the top of the boxes covered
with wire of about %-inch mesh, so
that the plants are held in the boxes.
These boxes are set on edge, one on
top of the other, producing an extreme-
ly good effect. It is certain that the
horticultural work done at the exposi-
tion will be of great advantage to the
trade in general, as it was the admira-
tion of every visitor on the grounds.
The parties who had the landscape
work in charge are to be highly com-
mended. They had difficult soil to con-
tend with and have made their plapt-
ings grow well and produce charming
effects; in fact, to sum up the horticul-
ture and landscape work of the exposi-
tion, they proved to be one of the best
points of the whole exposition and wore
commented on by all in conjunction
with the general view of the buildings
as well as the illuminating effects.

NEWPORT GLADIOLUS SHOW.

National Society's Annual Meeting.

Sound judgment was displayed by
the oflScers of the American Gladiolus
Society in its choice of Newport, ^. I.,
as the place for this year's show, in-
stead of the 8. A. F. convention city,
which has usually been' selected.- Gla-
diolus experts were in heavy attend-
ance and exhibits were high in qual-
ity and large in number. The main
hall, the stage, the galleries, the
piazzas and the annexes of the Casino
were filled with blooms. The few days
of dry weather and moderate tempera-
ture just before the opening day of
the show, August 18, enabled the ex-
hibitors to display blooms of splendid
quality.

The judges, James Wheeler, of Na-
tick, Mass.; J. Leiterstraten, of Saxon -
ville, Mass.; William Andrews, of Ster-
ling, Mass., and Bruce Butterton,
James Robinson and Andrew S.
Meikle, of Newport, had so heavy a
task on their hands that they were not
able to complete it the first day. In
one class, that for the silver cup of

Hitcliings & (Jo. for the most artistic-
ally arranged basket or hamper of
blooms containing not more than twen-
ty-five spikes, competition was so
strong that a seventh man was called
in to break the tie among the six
judges. The prize was finally awarded
to B. Hammond Tracy, of Wenham,
•Mass., and J. G. Leikens, Inc., of New
York and Newport, was given a second
jtrize. Next day, however, it was found
that Mr. Tracy's hamper contained one
spike too many, and so the cup was
given to J. G.\Leikens.
- Charles F. Fairbanks, president of
the society, staged a splendid display,
which was awarded a gold medal by
the Newport Horticultural Society. T.
A. Havemeyer also had a fine exhibit,
as did Governor R. Livingston Beeck-
man, who formally opened the show
with a brief address. The decorations
by Bruce Butterton, superintendent for
E. J. Berwind, of Newport, added much
to the beauty of the exhibition as a
whole.

The west upper balcony was filled
with trade exhibits. Prominent among
them were those of John iL«ewifl_ Childs,
of Flowerfiehi, N. Y.; Arthur ~Cowee,

John W. Gregg.

Goshen, Ind., and C. Keur & Sons, Of
Hillegom, Holland.

Business Meeting.

The annual meeting of the society
was held in the governors' room at
the Casino. ' It was voted to hold the
society's exhibitions hereafter bienni-
ally instead of annually. The execu-
tive committee recommended that the
next meeting be held in New York.
Votes of thanks were given to Bruce
Butterton for his work in staging the
exhibition and to T. A. Havemeyer for
his work in promoting the show. Pro-
fessor Massey, of Columbia university,
New York, gave an address on gla-
diolus culture and gladiolus diseases,
illustrating it with specimens, which
occupied a table in the Casino. !

The officers elected were as follows:

President — Charles F. Fairbanks,
Boston.

Vice-president — Theodore A. Ha'^^-
meyer. New York.

Secretary — Henry Youell, Syracuse,
N. Y.

Treasurer — A. E. Kunderd, Qoshen,
Ind.

Executive committee — Theodore A.
Havemeyer, M. Chamberlain, Arthur
Cowee, Berlin, N. Y.

ThA Awards.

In addition to the awards in the
scheduled classes, C. M. Bergholt, gar-
dener for Miss Fanny Foster, Newport,
was awarded a cultural certificate for
a specimen of Europa.

First class certificates were awarded
L. Merton Gage for his seedling, Mrs.
Dr. Norton, and John Lewis Childs for
Newport. Honorable mention was
awarded John Scheepers & Co., New
York, for new yellow seedling No.
3-7229; Chamberlain & Co., Wellesley,
Mass., for general display; A. E.
Kunderd, for primulinus hybrids; W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, for
seedlings; Knight & Struck Co., for
general display; 8. E. Spencer,
Woburn, Mass., for general display;
T. A. Havemeyer, for general display,
and T. E. Cogger, Melrose, Mass., for
display of seedlings.

Votes of thanks were given for gen-
eral displays^ to H. A. Dreer, Inc.,
Philadelphia; the A. H. Austin Co.
and Munsell & Harvey.

Two exhibits arrived on the second
•lay of the show, too late to be judged.
One came from Munsell & Harvey, of
Ashtabula, O., and included specimens
of Hazel Harvey, a dark red. The other
was from the A. H. Austin Co., of Way-
land, O.

The awards in the open classes were
as follows:

THE BEST WHITE.

In justice to the judges of the Ohio
Gladiolus Society, who awarded "best
white" to our exhibit of Glory of
Holland at Cleveland, please mention
that our vase of Rochester White did
not contain the required number of
flowers and that we did not have Eu-
ropa in bloom at that time. Glory of
Holland really did not have any com-
petition of any account. I do not care
to express any opinion here as to the
relative merits of the last two varie-
ties mentioned, but I will say that
Glory of Holland is a good white, al-
though not by any means as good as
either Rochester White or Europa.

I follow trade and show awards on
various varieties closely, in order to
get a line on good stock, and the out-
come of this award is likely to be mis-
leading to those who do likewise, and
who think that Glory of Holland came
into competition with Rochester and
Europa. Ralph E. Huntington.

METZNER GLADIOLUS DISPLAY.

Among the best of the gladiolus ex-
hibits on the grounds of the San Fran-

cisco exposition is that of the Metzner
Floral Co., of Mountain View, Cal.,
which occupies a comer of the Cali-
fornia garden. This is a general col-
lection. The color combinations in it
came out more happily than is often
the experience and, in addition, the
blooms are remarkably fine, the stalks
growing up to six feet and even higher.

At the height of the gladiolus season,
this part of the California garden was
one of the show places of the exposi-
tion, horticulturally speaking. The ac-
companying illustration g^ves a good
view of the exhibit. The department
of horticulture of the exposition award-
ed the Metzner Floral Co. a grand prize
for seedling gladioli.

FEEDING ORCHIDS.

Will you kindly tell me the best way
to mix- manure for orchids, mostly cat-
tleyas? M. P.— Conn.

There are decided differences of
opinion as to whether feeding cattleyas
and certain other orchids is a benefit"
or the reverse. All are agreed that
calanthcis need manure in the soil and
also Vflp-Bh it in liquid form; so, also,
with phaius, zygopetalums, sobralias,
cymbidiums, cypripediums and coelo-
gynes, but when it comes to cattleyas,
Itelias, dendrobiums, odontoglossums and
miltonias there is no unanimity of
opinion.

Personally I have found careful feed-
ing a decided advantage to practically
all orchids, if the food is given only
during the active growing season and
in moderate doses. I use 50-gallon bar-
rels. In these I dilute five pounds of
Clay's fertilizer or Bon Arbor No. 1.
Let the liquid stand a few days and
then dip the baskets in the barrels; or

a tub may be mounted on low wheels
and run along the houses, making the
dipping more convenient. Dipping is
not always feasible, and in such cases
a Kinney pump is used to apply the
liquid, especially to those in pots or
pans. Cow manure is also used, at the
rate of half a bushel to a barrel, and
a few handfuls of soot are added to it.
These liquids are alternated; I find
plants like a change of food as much
as do human beings.

I would not advise you to go into this
cattleya feeding in any haphazard way.
Try the various foods on batches of
plants and compare results. As a gen-
eral rule, one watering per week is
ample during the growing season. Some
growers use the Gookson formula on all
varieties of orchids, with good results,
but T think if you will try the three
fertilizers previously named you can
get equally satisfactory results.

An expression of opinion from other
orchid growers on this important ques-
tion wouM bo interesting. C W.

. WHY KERB WENT HOME.

8. A. F. members who wondered last
week at the absence from San Fran-
cisco of Robert C. Kerr, of Houston,
Tex., at the time of the convention
,>vhich ' elected him vice-president of
thle society, have only to glance at the
illustration on this page to find the
answer.

A wind storm of terrific strength vis-
ited Houston and wrecked most of the
greenhouses in the vicinity. Mr. Kerr's
raiige was completely demolished; the
loss amounts to about $5,000. The loss
at the range of H. H. Kuhlmann is
about the same. F. L. Cotney's store
was wrecked and his family caught
in the wreck. Mr. Cotney was in-
jured, but, it is believed, not se-
riousl}-. W. T. Hauser's loss was about
.$3,000, half of his greenhouses being
destroyed. The Brazos Greenhouses
suffered little in comparison; only 300
or 400 panes of glass were broken. As
the houses were modern in construc-
tion, they withstood the storm well.

In the downtown section, the Forest-
dale Flower Shop suffered the loss of
three large plate-glass windows and
considerable damage to stock. At
H. H. Kuhlmann 's store two plate-glass
windows were broken. The Gulf Flo-
rist, operating a small greenhouse in
the business district, was badly dam-
aged. Mr. Kerr 's store had the pro-
tection of several high brick buildings,
and received little damage. Henry
Bleeker, at Glenwood cemetery, suf-

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.

The Market.

Six days of fine weather has been
good for business, and there is a notice-
able change for the better. Saturday,
however, was exceedingly quiet, owing
to the return of rain. So far, the re-
ceipts for this month and the one pre-
ceding are much less than those of last
year. General business conditions are
poor. Little is heard or seen of wed-
dings and local functions, and stores
consequently are not busy. Market
reports show that heavy consignments
arrive daily, but much of the stock
is disposed of at the customer's own
figures. For a few days last week, the
market was fairly glutted with asters,
chiefly in lavender, purple and white,
but the delicate shades of pink were
slow in arriving. American Beauties
receive no special call. Sunburst
Ward, Russell, Maryland and Ophelia,
as well as other varieties in pink
shades, are plentiful and do not move
<|uickly. Carnations are poor and
scarce. There is a fair supply of sweet
l»eas, but the majority are of poor qual-
ity and many are short-stemmed. The
supply of gladioli is good and easily
meets the present demand. The better
sellers are America and Rochester
White, which bring medium prices.
Easter lilies arrive daily, but do not
clear fast. Valley does not sell well.
A few outdoor flowers, such as stocks.

fered some damages to his greenhouses,
and the top was blown off his store.

Every cloud has its silver lining: As
a result of the storm Houston will have
a number of up-to-date ranges to show
visitors next year, in place of the
houses that have been in use for the
last ten or fifteen years. Although it
is considered too late to begin construc-
tion this fall, except such as is neces-
sary for the protection of the stock on
hand, next spring will probably see all
of the wrecked ranges replaced by
houses of the most modern type.

Coshocton, O.— Mrs. E. J. Clary and
her sons are building two pipe-frame
houses, 25x140. The material is being
furnished by the Lord & Burnham Co.,
Cleveland.

verbena, phlox, candytuft and cosmos,
are arriving, but do not sell too well.
There is a sufficient supply of fern
leaves. Asparagus pluniosus, smilax
and other greens.

Various Notes.

The flower show committee of the
Rochester Florists' Association, under
the chairmanship of George B. Hart, is
working hard on arrangements for the
Rochester exposition and flower show.
Building No. 5, which will be known
from now on as Floral hall, will be
transformed into an attractive floral
bower. Several of America's biggest
and best growers will exhibit, as well
as most of Rochester's florists and
growers. The committee promises a
show that will surpass all others. The

show will be held August 30 to Sep-
tember 12.

The annual picnic of the Rochester
Florists' Association was held August
19, at Walter Salmon's grove. The
splendid weather brought out seventy-
five members, and a good time was had
by all. The committee worked splen-
didly. Arrangements were complete in
every way. There was an abundance of
food. Sports, including tennis, all kinds
of races, baseball, etc., were indulged
in. Music was furnished by a negro trio,
which proved to be one of the main at-
tractions of the day.

The florists have discovered that un-
dertakers are asking for artificial wax
roses, to be used on magnolia wreaths
for door pieces. As a wreath of arti-
ficial roses costs about the same as
one of real roses, the florists are satis-
fied.

Lord & Burnham Co. 's Rochester
office has contracted for the following:
E. R. Hyde, Wayland, N. Y., one pipe-
frame greenhouse, 21x58.6^ Fr^nk La-
vigne, Rochester, one pipe-frame green-
house, 17x3x58.6, and a boiler house,
6.5x15, and for C. B. Emmons, Pitts-
ford, N. Y., one pipe-frame greenhouse,
24.6x50.2. Harry E. Bates is away on
a business trip to Pittsburgh, Pa.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Business in the flower stores drags
on. Occasional funeral work is the
only activity noticeable. If it were
not for the fact that such conditions
must be expected during midsummer
months, many of the florists would be
discouraged. Each passing week, how-
ever, 'sees a slight improvement in
general business conditions, and many
are optimistic as to fall business. No
one expects a boom in business, but
large numbers of business men expect
l)etter conditions than we have had for
a long time. Activity in other lines
must mean a greater volume of sales
for the florists. So many people are
away on their vacations that few
stores are branching out at present,
whatever may be their plans for the
fall. When the majority of the vaca-
tionists return, after Labor day, the
fundamental improvement of business
will doubtless be more apparent. As-
ters and gladioli continue to be the
staples in the flower shops. The cos-
mos that have appeared so far have
generally been of inferior quality,
owing, in part, to the heavy rain this
season. Such dahlias as have arrived
have also been poor. A better grade
has begun to appear, but they are not
yet up to average quality. Some of the
better flowers sell at $1 per dozen; the
others for about 75 cents per dozen.
Outside hydrangeas are beginning to
arrive, and are of fairly good quality.
Roses are good for this time of the
year.

Various Notes.

Fred Philips, of Philips Bros., is
spending his vacation fishing on the
New Jersey coast. Last year he caught
a sea bass weighing forty-two pounds,
and he is trying to duplicate the per-
formance this year. Philips Bros, have
had considerable funeral work. Their
entire store will be renovated so as to
be in excellent condition at the open-
ing of the fall season.

John F. Noll & Co., seedsmen, have
had a most beautiful display of gla-
dioli and water lilies. In the window
where the water lilies were displayed,
there were six pools of water, in each
of which was one variety. The plants
and flowers were not crowded, so that
it was possible to examine them thor-
oughly from the street, yet they were
' sufficiently numerous to make a beau-
tiful picture. The pools of water were
separated so that each variety could
be seen by itself. In front of each pool
was a card telling what variety was
exhibited. R. B. M.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Business is quiet in general. There
is a little doing all the time to keep
flowers cleaned up. There is an over-
abundance of good gladioli, which sell
cheaply. Roses are plentiful, but there
is not much substance to them. Asters
are of first-class quality and there are
plenty of them.

of the start and rise of the business,
and readers will be interested in the
portraits of the men at the helm. They
are:

Joseph G. Neidinger, president of
the company, a successful originator
and maker of florists' supplies, whose
ideas have proved a source of pleasure
and profit to florists all over the land.

George S. Hampton, treasurer, whose
hustle and good-fellowship have done
much to popularize the products of his
company.

Jack F. Neidinger, secretary, a young
man whose ability is used to push the
interests of his house with might and
main.

HARTFORD, CONN.

The Market.

The supply of roses is light, although
great enough to meet the demand.
There are plenty of asters of fair
quality. Gladioli, as usual, are a drug
on the market. There are plenty of
lilies for all requirements.

Various Notes.

John Coomb's new house, on South
street, is completed and planted. The
young stock is coming along finely.

Robert Karlstrom reports that this
is the first time in fifteen years that
he has failed to attend the S. A, F.
convention.

W. R. Pierson was taken ill with ap-
pendicitis while attending the conven-
tion, and had to undergo an operation

at San Francisco. The operation was
successful and he is getting along sat-
isfactorily. R. C. S.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Last week business reached the low
record for the summer. The supply of
stock was not heavy; consequently
there was not a large surplus. Asters
are of much better quality and a few
good ones bring fair prices, but short-
stemmed flowers bring poor returns.
Gladioli are still in fair supply, but
are moving slowly. Roses are only
fairly plentiful and few good ones are
seen. Lilies are in fair demand, but
Beauties are immovable at any price.

Club Outing.

The annual outing of the Florists'
Club was held at Miller's park,
Dundalk, August 18. The weather was
clear and cool. Though there was a
good crowd, it was not as large as at
some former outings, probably on ac-
count of the cool weather and the late-
ness of the season. Nevertheless, it
was a most enjoyable affair.

A varied line of amusements was
provided. Dancing, bowling, fishing
and boating were indulged in. In the
afternoon the games were run off and
the day's sport wound up with a crab
feast, which all took part in.

Following is a list of prize-winners in
the games:

Pipe race for men — Win. J. Teiiie, first; H.
Seldllch, second.

Peanut race for men — Herb. Wagner, first; Otto
Feidler, second.

Peanut race for boys — J. Daniels, first; W.

events and was won by a team com-
posed of Messrs. Kluteh, "Wagner, Han-
nigan, Teipe, Bauer, Rosnosky, Seidlich
and Hambruck. A. McGuire officiated
efficiently as umpire, and at the close
of the game a prize was presented to
him by the winning team for his assist-
ance. The score — oh, I guess it would
better be kept secret.

Club Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club was held August
23, President Hamilton in the chair.
The outing committee submitted its re-
port on the picnic held August 18, and
received the thanks of the club for the
efficient manner in which the arrange-
ments were carried out. The premium
Sadist of the fall flower show was dis-
tributed to those present. I. H. Moss,
on behalf of the Maryland Horticultural
Society, asked for the assistance and
cooperation of the club members in
making the fall show a success. A com-
mittee was appointed to supervise the
work of beautifying the home gardens
of the city, which is being fostered by
the club. The committee consists of
.Tames Hamilton, chairman; F. C. Bauer,
George Talbot, James Glass and W. F.
Ekas.

Hail Storm.

The hail storm of August 21 passed
over the northeastern section of the
city, but only greenhouses in the vi-
cinity of Hamilton were damaged.
John Muth, on Belair road, lost about
250 lights, but his stock was only
slightly damaged. Charles Hochstedt,
on Harford road, and Edward Van
Reuth, Hamilton, suffered broken glass
and slightly damaged stock. This is
the second hail storm of the season to
break lights and ruin stock, but the
first storm, four weeks ago, was much
more severe. W. F. E.

The Market.

Summer business has been about as
usual; rather more stock than in pre-
vious summers and just about the cus-
tomary demand, with the result that
prices have been lower and more ef-
fort has been made in the way of
special sales to avoid the waste of
stock. Funeral work has been fairly
frequent and has been the main re-
liance of some of those in the trade.

The growers are busy. Not only are
they cutting more stock than usual,
but they are hard at work preparing
for next season. The bedding busi-
ness this spring broke all records and
sales continued until late in July,
when practically all local supply was
cleaned up. Salvias were short of the
demand. For next season a still larger

stock will be worked up, of all popular
bedding plants.

Various Notes.

The old Brown homestead now has
a mistress. During his recent trip to
the Pacific coast, A. C. Brown and
Mrs. A. C. Canfield, widow of the
former Springfield florist, were married.
The bride was warmly welcomed on
their return, as she always has been
popular here.

Preparations are under way for the
state fair flower show. The date is
two weeks earlier than last year and
the premiums have been reduced, but
it is expected the local florists will ex-
hibit the same as usual.

The settlement of the estate of David
Wirth, who died February 5, 1914, has
progressed to the point that called for
the public sale of the Wirth & Gaupp
greenhouse property and business. It is
understood that an appraisal put a
value of $18,000 on it, but $13,000
was the best offer obtainable and John
N. Gaupp bid it in at that price.

Hembreiker & Cole have the old
A. C. Canfield establishment in excel-
lent shape.

George J. Dinkel, who took over Mr.
Canfield 's store after spending several
years in his employ, was at Chicago
last week buying stock. Mr. Dinkel
has been in the business here twenty-
one years.

H. F. Janssen, of the Janssen Seed &
Floral Co., is on the Pacific coast and
was this city's sole representative at
the S. A. F. convention. H. O.

SCRANTON, PA.

Tlie Maxket.

Business improved a little last week,
on account of several large funerals
and receptions. Late asters are arriv-
ing in large quantities. Rose-pink and
white are the best sellers. Gladioli
continue to be plentiful. The market
is glutted with sweet peas, which are
sold at the buyer's own price. Other
offerings include candytuft, snap-
dragons, cornflowers and marigolds.

Various Notes.

A. L. Besancon & Co. report a busy
week. This firm had the decoration
for the Rosenbloom reception, consist-
ing of palms, ferns and baskets of gla-
dioli. The tables had centerpieces of
roses and sweet peas.

Miss Annie Griffiths and her sister.
Miss Marion, have returned from a two
weeks' vacation at Atlantic City, N. J. •

Mrs. Burton Park, of Jermyn, Pa.,
was a caller last week.

There is to be a new flower store on
Lackawanna avenue, conducted by
Greeks. It will be the first Greek
flower store to open in Scranton.

Baldwin the Florist has another
unique display. One window has a
miniature lake with banks and back- •
ground of palms, ferns and trailing
vines. The other window presents a
delightful forest scene. M. L. Ruch,
manager, is spending a month at Lake
Winola. Miss Jenkins has returned
from a two weeks' stay at Crystal lake.

B. E. & J. T. Cokely report business
good. They have received a number
of large orders for wire designs, which
have been specially priced for ten days.
.Fames Gallagher, manager, is enjoying
a much needed vacation at Waymart,
Pa. Miss Jane Baxter is recovering
from an attack of appendicitis.

Morel Bros, are busy repairing their
greenhouses, which were damaged re-
cently by a mine cave-in. Their stock
looks promising for next year.

Thomas Arner is cutting some fine
asters and gladioli. Mr. Arner was the
first in Scranton to pick tomatoes this
year, starting July 2. F. .T. M.

OBITUARY

Roger Murphy.

Roger Murphy, of Worcester, Mass.,
one of the oldest florists in New Eng-
land, died August 1 of pa^monia. Mr.
Murphy had been in the employ of
H. F. A. Lange for nearly thirty years,
and was an expert grower of bulbs. He
always had the best hyacinths and
tulips on the local market.

He is survived by four daughters,
Mrs. Mary Mulcahy, Mrs. Anna Kelly,
Helen and Johanna Murphy, and two
sons, John F. and Michael J. Murphy.

Louis Bapin.

Louis Bapin, who will be remembered
by Buffalo residents as having kept a
florists' shop on Main street many
years ago, died at his home August 15,
after a long illness. Mr. Rapin was
almost 58 years old.

It has been thirty-eight years since
Mr. Rapin conducted the flower store
on Main street. He moved from the
location in 1877 to Pine Ridge road and
Genesee street, where the greenhouses
are located, and conducted a store
there until five years ago, when his
son, Louis, succeeded him.

Mr. Rapin is survived by his wife,
Katie T.; a son, Louis A. S.; a brother,
Edward, and a sister, Sophia.

Hermann Bossbach.
Hermann Rossbach, of New Orleans,
La., died August 13 at the age of 65
years. He was a native of Essen, Ger-
many, and came to New Orleans in
1872. Mr. Rossbach was well known
among the trade at New Orleans, hav-
ing been a gardener and florist for
many years. He is survived by a son
and three daughters.

Alfred Rivers.

Word comes from England of the
death, August 6, of T. A. H. Rivers,
senior partner of the firm of Thomas
Rivers & Son, Sawbridgeworth. Mr.
Rivers' work among hardy fruits, in
which he maintained the tradition of
two previous generations, is well
known. From his own personal qual-
ities and the world-wide connection of
the firm, Mr. Rivers had a wide circle
of friends and acquaintances in the
nursery trade.

William Warring.

William Warring, who had been an
employee of the William Scott Co. for
thirty years, died at his home August
15, after a brief illness. He was well
known by the Buffalo florists and loved
by all who knew him. His wife and
four children, William, Emma, Sarah
and Mrs. Frank Miller, survive him.
The funeral was held August 17 from
his home, 22 East Balcom street. Many
floral tributes were sent by the local
florists. E. C. A.

John Payne.

"Johnny" Payne is dead. It seems
too sad to be true; his bright smile and
cheerful greeting won him friends
everywhere. People liked Johnny
Payne; they couldn't help it; he had
that way about him. It always seemed
that any little thing that was wanted
would be done if he could do it, and
if he couldn't, why, he would try, and
that made matters better. So there will

be florists all over Philadelphia, all
over Pennsylvania, even all over the
United States, who will miss Johnny
Payne and sincerely mourn his loss.
John A. Payne died August 21, at
his home near Seventeenth and Sny-
der streets, Philadelphia, of tubercular
trouble, after an illness of several
months, leaving his wife and two chil-
dren. He was 26 years of age. Four-
teen years ago he entered the house of
H. Bayersdorfer & Co. as errand boy.
By industry he steadily rose to a posi-
tion as stock clerk, shipper, city sales-
man and, best of all, won the respect
and confidence of the members of the
firm, who feel that in his loss they
have suffered a personal bereavement.
The funeral took place August 24, from
his home; interment at Holy Cross
cemetery, Yeadon, Pa. ' Phil.

George Earl Luffman.

George Earl Luffman, of Birmingham,
Ala., died August 15 at the age of 58
at his home. Glen Iris. He conducted
a store and nursery at his home for the
last sixteen years. Mr. Luffman is sur-
vived by his wife and three daughters:
Mrs. Lambly, Mrs. Goddard and Miss
Nellie Luffman.

LANCASTER, PA.

Club Meeting.

The Lancaster Florists' Club was
entertained Thursday afternoon, Au-
gust 19, by President and Mrs. B. F.
Barr, at their beautiful home, Avon-
dale Farm.

An inspection of the 100 acres which
Mr. Barr devotes to nurserv stork was

interesting. His collection of speci-
men evergreens is exceptionally fine.
In the large formal garden the hardy
perennials were all in bloom and a fine
bed of Heliotrope Monstrosa was much
admired by the members.

Sports were started after the visit
to the nursery grounds. Bowling on
the green was much enjoyed by all.
A. M. Herr and Jacob Flear were in
fine form, and their bowling was a
surprise. In croquet J. Rutter Hess
and Chas. B. Herr swept everything
before them. In quoits George Gold-
bach and W. B. Girvin were winners.

At 6 o'clock, dinner was served on
the piazza. After dinner the regular
monthly meeting of the club was held.
The principal business of the meeting
was the report of the dahlia committee
of the coming dahlia show, which is
to be held in connection with the Lan-
caster county fair, the last week of
September. David F. Rose, amateur,
was elected to membership. On a mo-
tion by H. A. Schroyer, Frank L. Kohr
extended a vote of thanks of the club
to Mr. and Mrs. Barr for their hospi-
tality. Frank A. Suter exhibited a
vase of the newest cactus dahlias.

The visitors from out of town were
Bertrand H. Farr, president of the
American Peony Society, Wyomissing;
F. H. Lauck and H. J. Huesman, of
Reading; Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Smith and
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schaeffer, of
York, and D. T. Connor, of Philadel-
phia. About thirty-five of the club's
members were present.

A number of the members intend to
participate in the show of the Ameri-
can Gladiolus Society, at Atlantic City,
August 26 to 28. H. K. R.

KESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

The wise plantsman follows the goldeu
rule in filling orders and in adjusting
complaints. It is a policy that builds
a business that is independent of the
price-cutters.

Quite a few rose growers have found
by costly experience that an excellent
time to stay at home and watch is when
the young stock is likely to be attacked
by mildew, say about now. A heavy dose
of mildew in August will affect a grow-
er's income for the next six months.

H.WE you noticed the gain The Re-
view is showing in classified ads? About
twenty-five per cent more of them than
a year ago! The increase is principally
accounted for by the number of Atlantic
coast florists who have turned to The
Review as a means of enlarging the out-
let for their surplus stock.

"A NEW wrinkle," is the way a
Michigan newspaper heads an accouirt
of a florist having given cash change to
an unknown customer who presented a
bad check. New wrinkle, indeed! If
the editor had all the money florists have
lost on that game he would buy an auto-
mobile tomorrow, and it wouldn't be a
Ford.

In spite of the fact that the opei'ation
cannot usually be recommended, each
year an increased number of carnation
plants are carried over for a second sea-
son, and frequently with some success.
It seems quite likely that varieties may
in time appear that will be suited to
this method, so that the expense of new
stock for each season can be avoided at
least in part.

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:

FIVE YEARS.
Hloy, M., Detroit, Mich.

TWO YEARS.
Chinch Floral Co., Albion, Pa.
Stalielln, A. J., Redford. Mlcli.
.lohnson, Tony, Wayzata, Minn.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no dims are sent.

MB. BROWN WEDS MRS. CANFIELD.

From Springfield, 111., comes the in-
teresting personal item that when A. C.
Brown returned from his recent Cali-
fornia trip het^ brought with him, as
his bride, Mrs. A. C. Canfield, widow
of the Springfield florist. The groom
is 54 years of age and had come to be
looked upon by his friends as a con-
firmed bachelor. His bride is well
known and popular in the trade, but is
considerably Mr. Brown's junior. An
interesting circumstance is that in Cali-
fornia she married first one and then
the other of Springfield's two leading
florists.

HOW TO GET YOUR AZALEAS.

If you have been importing your
azaleas, instead of getting them
through an American firm as you might
well do, you can get your stock through
the British embargo if the shipper in
Belgium is willing that the money
should be withheld until after Germany
ceases to hold the district whence the
azaleas come. Under certain condi-
tions the British authorities will issue
permits for the shipments to move via
Rotterdam.

James McHutchison & Co., New
York, state they already have procured
the permits which insure the prompt
arrival of their stock.

In this connection A. A. Adee, as-
sistant secretary of state, writes The
Review:

"Referring to previous correspond-
ence in regard to certain Belgian
goods, there is quoted for your infor-
mation a cable dated August 3, 1915,
from the American consul general at
London, which was received by the de-
partment in response to an inquiry
made on behalf of a New York firm.
The cablegram reads:

" 'In reference Department's 310,
thirtieth, official ruling received:
Goods, Belgian origin, for neutral
countries and brought to this country
are released, provided, shipped in ac-
cordance with conditions under wdki[^ch
imports into this country of goods' of
Belgian origin are allowed; such im-
ports are allowed provided no money
paid to firms in Belgium during con-
tinuance of hostile occupation in re-
spect of the goods without authority
from the office Parliamentary counsel.'

" 'If (name of New York merchant
in whose behalf inquiry was made)
sends undertaking not to pay money in
Belgium, as aforesaid, authorities will
give instructions to Holland-America
line, stating no objection exists to ship-
ment proposed.'

"If it is the desire to comply with

the above quoted rule, the department
will be pleased to forward the neces-
sary papers to the American ambassa-
dor at London for submission to the
proper British authorities. ' '

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.

► Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, August 25, 1915:.

For the Region of the Great
Lakes — Cool and generally
fair weather will prevail for
several days, with possibly
light frost in exposed places
in the Michigan peninsula. During the
second half of the week temperatures
will rise, with partly cloudy weather
and with probably some showers over
the upper Lake region.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Cool and fair weather
for two or three days will be followed
by rising temperatures that will not be
unusually high, and probably by show-
ers toward the end of the week.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
Fair and cool weather for about three
days will be followed by rising tem-
perature and some cloudiness, and prob-
ably by showers sometime between
August 29 and 31.

For the West Gulf States — Local
thunder showers will be followed by
generally fair weather for three or four
days and again by showers during the
latter portion of the week. Tempera-
tures will be seasonable.

For South Atlantic and East Gulf
States — Generally fair weather, with
seasonable temperatures, is indicated
for the week, although occasional local
thunder showers may occur over the
southern portion of the district.

EXPRESS RATES TO GO UP?

No protest was entered August 23
before the Illinois Public Utilities Com-
mission against a proposed increase in
express charges for packages weighing
less than 100 pounds. The advances
asked for are 5 cents on shipments of
from one to five pounds; 4 cents on
shipments of six to twenty-five pounds;
3 cents from twenty-six to forty-nine
pounds; 2 cents from fifty to seventy
pounds, and 1 cent from seventy to
ninety-nine pounds.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The week has developed no impor-
tant change in Chicago market condi-
tions. Stock in practically all lines
continues to be plentiful, but more es-
pecially is this true of that grown out-
doors, which pours into the market
from an apparently inexhaustible
source.

The anomaJous weather conditions
with which Chicago and the neighbor-
ing country has been favored this year
are the most conducive to gladiolus
production that can well be conceived.
And in spite of last year's experience,
everyone with a vacant fence corner
seems to have planted gladiolus bulbs.
As a result, the wholesalers, in order
to move gladioli at all, are compelled
to sell them at so low a figure that
the returns to the growers will scarce-
ly pay for the bulbs. This, while it
is of little consequence to those who

grow them as a side issue, works a
real hardship on the legitimate grower,
who grows flowers for a livelihood.

Good asters are scarce, but those
ranging in quality from merely indif-
ferent to really bad are more than
abundant, and moving these is almost
a hopeless task. The Golden Glow
chrysanthemums that timidly began en-
tering the market a week ago were
accorded a most chilly reception. Too
early, is the general comment. It is
almost inconceivable that growers will
continue shipping to the market such
pathetic offerings as coreopsis, daisies,
gaillardias^ gypsophilas and their ilk
make at this late season. No one
wants them.

Roses have increased, both in sup-
ply and length of stem. Prices are
a trifle weaker. The demand holds
steady, with surely no decrease, but
with no apparent increase. Quality is
good. Russell, because of its keeping
qualities and beauty, and Ophelia, be-
cause of its superlative beauty, hold
the public favor. The Killarney fam-
ily, though, never lacks for friends.
Beauties are clearing well, though not
at a high figure.

Valley has the distinction of being
the only scarce item with any real de-
mand. And from all present indica-
tions, the growers are going to hold

it on the scarce side until the buying
public acquires a fixed habit of re-
garding it as a rare thing and greatly
to be desired. Orchids are at last be-
ginning to experience a slightly in-
creased demand, but cattleyas this
year have not enjoyed the usual Au-
gust call. The supply of lilies con-
tinues to be fully equal to all require-
ments.

Owing, perhaps, to the great supply
of cut flowers, greens have not been
found as necessary an item as usual.

Various Notes.

After a six weeks' visit at the Pa-
cific coast C. Frauenf elder, 3343 W^t
Madison street, his wife and little
daughter, returned last week to Chi-
cago. Mr. Frauenfelder says they have
had a most enjoyable vacation but they
didn't wait for the convention.

A. L. Randall has shipped hundreds
of thousands of gladiolus blooms from
his farm in Michigan this season and
is reported to consider prices received
as affording sufficient profit to justify
increased acreage next year.

Paul Richmond, for some time head
designer with George Walther, 435
West Sixty-third street, who recently
married Miss Grace Goodall, a former
associate in the establishment of Mr.
Walther, reports that they are home

after a most enjoyable trip, and that
he is ready to assume his new duties
with William J. Smyth, Thirty-first
street and Michigan avenue, as suc-
cessor to Arthur A. Weatherwax, who
has purchased the store of €arah
Lindon, 828 East Forty-seventh street.

V. A. Kohout, trading as the Lawn-
dale Florist, 3212 West Twenty-second
street, has given further evidence of
his progressiveness by placing an or-
der for a fine White truck. Mr.
Kohout expects the car to be delivered
about the middle of September.

As a result of the unprecedentedly
cool weather, J. A. Mendel, 1424 West
BJgfflW5<*th street, has sold his summer i
home at Foj» Lake, 111. He can sec
no use in leaving Chicago in quest of

In answer to an appeal that appeared
in the daily papers calling on auto-
mobile owners to contribute the use
01 their cars to aid the Red Cross in
its work of relieving those rendered
destitute, by the* recent Eastland dis-
aster, two well known members of the
trade came to the front last week.
But when Joseph Ziska, Jr., of the sup-

A Tip to Florists

"Yes, 6ir," said a florist's helper to the "old man," who had put bis lieaal
into the door to see how a rush order was progressing, "I'll be done in no time.
This lot of Ferns is perfect, no time wasted in picking out good stuff— it is all
good."

"Then, the Magnolia Leaves are never mouldy or rusty. It is a pleasure
to work with stock like this— whose is it?"

A'id of course the "old man" said: "Why, that stock is from Kennicott's."

"Eennicott's ? " queried the helper (he was only an inside man, and never
liad done any buying), "Who are they ? "

"Eennicott Bros. Company is the house that terms itself, and rightly, as
The House of Quality Plus. By the way, how many hampers of Magnolia
Leayes do you want this seasoa, and what quantity of Ferns will you use per
week ? If you are satisfied with the stock, I want to place an order for our
season's requirements and take advantage of Kennicott Bros. Company's special
offer."

This Florist was a good buyer. You have the same opportunity:

Do not let it get away.

Rajah Kahmur's favorite elephant,
Ho-Ko, one morning while coming
out of the pearl inlaid east gate of
his master's estate, stepped ker-
swush on a dainty golden-winged
hen pheasant.

Being told the hen pheasant had
been setting on eleven tinv eggs,
Ho-Ko, the elephant, hung his great
head in shame.

Two hours later they found him
solemnly sitting on the hen phea-
sant's ne-t trying to hatch the eggs.
Farewell eggs!

Ho-Ko meant well.

"Yes," said one of our western
customers, 'some florists mean well
when th»-y buy cut flowers here and
there, and from unreliable sources.
They mean well but — farewell
proflts."

You, can regard Randall's as a
dependable source of cut flower
supply.

ed. Prices always reasonable. Send

men are accomplished linguists, and in
addition to contributing the use of
their cars and their own time to run
them, they acted as interpreters in un-
tangling some of the most pathetic lit-
tle tragedies that have come to the
attention of the society.

F. F. Benthey, Chicago representa-
tive of the F. J. Benthey greenhouses,
went to Newcastle, Ind., August^ 18,
on a tour of inspection. He returned
August 21.

John Mangel's large service car,
which has been in the shop recently
undergoing an overhauling, looks like
new in its fresh coat of paint.

The debut of Champ Weiland will
be made at the November show.
Weiland & Eisch plan to disseminate
this new rose in the spring of 1916.

Fred Klingel, who conducts the
financial end of the business of Erne
& Klingel, says he feels well satisfied
with conditions in the florists' trade,
believing them better than in most
other lines of business.

The enlargement of the store of the
E. C. Amling Co. is under way this
week and is attracting much attention.

Felix Reichling comments that the
city buyers are not calling for Ophelia
the way they did last spring, the sup-
ply now equaling the demands, but be-
lieves the special calls will come again
as the out-of-town buyers become bet-
ter acquainted with the rose.

W. H. Kidwell says summer sales at
his two stores are about as usual, never
being anything to brag about during
•luly and August, but he comments
that the stock in the market this sum-
mer has been of much better quality
than usual, with prices lower than one
ordinarily must pay for the same
grade.

This is your chance to wish A. T.
Pyfer many happy returns of the day.
He was born August 26, 1878.

Taking the advice of the wise ones
that all preparations for cold weather
should be made in the summer, Fred
Greager, 6952 Cottage Grove avenue,

houses. He finds business quite brisk

The marriage August 22 of Leonard
Koehler and Cornelia Kyan, both of
Kyle & Foerster's staff, caused no* lit-
tle surprise to their friends in the
trade. Miss Lula Geisen succeeds Miss
Ryan in the oflBce. Mr. Koehler is on
the job and is busy receiving con-
gratulations.

O. P. Bassett and his wife, of Pasa-
dena, Cal., arrived in Hinsdale August
22. Here they will be the guests of
C. L. Washburn and his wife, who were
so recently their guests. The trip from
Pasadena was made in an automobile
and it apparently agreed with Mr. Bas-
sett, as he was a visitor on the Chi-
cago market the day following his ar-
rival, and August 24 motored to Aurora
with Mr. Washburn. Miss Schreiber,

of the Chicago office, has been suffering
severely with an ulcerated tooth, which
compelled her absence for two days last
week. A new office assistant in the
person of Miss Ruth Wattman has been
added to the force. Miss Harper has
returned from her outing in Wisconsin.

H. Wallace, manager of the W. L.
Palinsky greenhouses, 2865 Palmer ave-
nue, left August 24 for a week's visit
to Battle Creek, Mich. Miss Sadie
Palinsky has returned from her vaca-

houses, 1441 East Seventieth street, con-
ducted his brother, John Collins, who
is a visitor from the east, through the

Morton Grove, August 23.

E. H. Meuret, Park Ridge, president

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Fewer flowers with about the same
amount of business is the story of the
week. The heavy storm at Hanover,
above Lancaster, August 22, interfered
with the shipment of asters, which were
missed in filling orders the following
day. Asters are good now; some really
splendid stock is offered. Easter lilies
are quite scarce, although there is no
special demand for them. Valley has
been selling up well. Cattleyas continue
scarce and expensive. There is a de-
cided increase in Beauties, mostly of
medium and long grade. Other roses
are scarce in the better grades, espe-
cially white. The shorts of colored va-
rieties are in excess of the demand.
Gladioli bring a better average price
than for the last fortnight, the fancy
varieties in iSmall quantities fielling
best. The additions to the market are
Golden Glow chrysanthemums, men-
tioned last week, and dahlias. Of the
dahlias, the best varieties are Jack
Bose, Princess Juliana, John Wana-
maker, Dorothy Peacock and Sylvia.

Current Events.

The selection of Houston, Tex., as the
next meeting place for the S. A. F.
is interesting to the eastern members.
They feel that it is a splendid thing
for the southwest to have the society
meet in one of its leading cities, but
they doubt whether it is a good thing
for the society to go there. The United
States is such a vast territory that it
is a question whether one society, such
as ours, can cover it all. The eastern
members fear that the society will lose
its hold on florists in this section of
the country, if there is no annual meet-
ing during the midsummer of three
years. The spring show, to be held in
this city next March, will do some-
thing toward holding the membership
for the present at least.

The first Japanese importation is on

exhibition at H. Bayersdorfer & Co.'s
store. It includes some beautiful spec-
imens of teakwood, notably a tabouret,
surmounted by a jardiniere in bucket
form, hooped with bamboo. The effect
in polished black and white is striking.
Then there are curious ornaments rep-
resenting alligators, crabs and other
denizens of the sea, in oxidized bronze,
that may be used as receptacles for
flowers. The importation marks a new
era in its introduction of oriental ideas
into florists' supplies of this country.

noon of August 20. The trial seed

a meeting in the interest of market gar-
dening. Addresses were made by Em-

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

Until the middle of September little
change in the market dullness is an-
ticipated. The weather lately has been
perfect; neither heat nor rain has been
excessive.

The rose shipments are increasing in
quantity, but the size of buds and
length of stem are disappointing.
There are but few in the special class,
and only these command near satis-
factory prices. American Beauties are
abundant, but few reach the desired
standard in quality. Prices have not
improved. A few fine Ophelia, Rus-
sell and other novelties are speedily
secured on arrival, but most of the
roses sell at from 50 cents per hun-
dred to $20 per thousand.

There was hardly a carnation in the
market August 21, and, in fact, none
worth mentioning arrived during the
week or is coming now. The first of
September should see the advance
guard of the new season 's offerings.

Valley was a scarce article August
21, and rose to $3 and $4 per hundred.
Before closing time there was not a
spray left. The every-day-in-the-year
growers will not let the shortage be
noticeable long. Lilies are stronger
and not too abundant. The best stock
was selling at $4 per hundred at the
week 's end. From that the price ranged
down to $2 per hundred, for the com-
monplace.

Orchids are scarce, and the good
prices of the last few weeks continue.
Few flowers, however, go above $50
per hundred, and these must be extra
fine. Dahlias, tritomas and the early
mums are the only novelties in the
windows, with decorative backgrounds
of goldenrod and hydrangeas.

There were tremendous arrivals of
asters and gladioli all last week. Au-
gust 21, counters, iceboxes and cellars
were simply loaded with them.

Various Notes.

If the S. A. F. had decided to come
to New York in 1916, the local com-
mittees would have had the assistance
of the Merchants' and Manufacturers'
Association. The use of the Grand Cen-
tral Palace for six days was assured,
and the sale of 10,000 feet of space for
trade exhibits. Doubtless the same
conditions will prevail in 1917 if the
'texans will be so kind as to send the
convention to us then. The last
S. A. F. meeting in New York was in
1900.

There will be a gladiolus exhibition
this week from August 26 until Au-
gust 29, inclusive, at Atlantic City,
N. J., under the management of
Maurice Fuld, of the Knight & Struck
Co. There will be lectures by Max
Schling, Arthur Cowee and Mr. Fuld.
Mr. Schling is putting up an exhibit
that he says will cost him over $1,000.

The outing of the Mt. Kisco Horti-
cultural Society has been postponed.

Cosmos, the first of the season, were
on exhibition last week at J. K.
Allen 's.

James Coyle's new headquarters

Being a National Florist

ITS ADVANTAGES

TF you are a National Florist, every time
^ we get an order for flowers for some
one in your town, you get that order. No
one else.

The order comes direct to as, and we
direct it to you. Or the order comes
direct to you— directed to the National
Florist in St. Louis, for example, if that's
your town. Along with every order
comes the money. And that isn't all.
You can take orders and send them to
any National Florist in any town for
delivery.

It's sending flowers by mail, as well as
by telegraph. It in no way conflicts with
the "F. T. D." It simply reaches a field
the "F. T. D." has not, or never would
reach.

Business in general has been good
during the week. While there has been
no difficulty in handling the orders,
they have been coming in regularly
and have kept the help that is not
away on vacations fairly busy. Fu-
neral work has played a big part in
the volume of business done, . and to
this class of "work and the cool weather
may be ascribed the good condition
of the sale end of the business.

Roses have become slightly more
plentiful, but are being moved readily.
The prices, though not high, are good
for this time of year. The entire cut
is handled each day with little or no
trouble. Old carnations are about
gone and those still being cut are not
worth much. Asters are plentiful and
of fine quality. They are satisfactor-
ily filling the gap left by the exodus
Of the carnations. 'Gladioli are still in
fine shape, but are not quite so plen-
tiful as they have been. They are
moving well. There are lots of good
lilies, but they are moving slowly.
There is also a good supply of excel-
lent valley, which is cleaning up fairly
well every day. Gaillardias are mak-
ing their appearance and are moving
readily.

Various Notes.

Miss Edith Webster, who has been
with J, M. Fox & Sons for about five

large number of friends in the trade,
is receiving many wishes for her fu-
ture happiness. She will leave her

This department for the cards of
Leading Retail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
manj years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let|
your customers know yout
can perform this service]
for them. To receive your(
share— well. The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — ^now
— before you forget it?

NEWPORT SUMMEB SHOW.

The midsummer show, held August 12
to 14 under the auspices of the New-
port Horticultural Society and the New-
Eort Garden Club, was favored with
eautiful weather, coming directly after
a long spell of fog and rain, and proved
a great success. The greenhouse ex-
hibits and others of a perishable nature,
if exposed to sun and weather, were
staged in roomy marquees, while the
hardier subjects, such as beds of gera-
niums, groups of conifefrs, specimen
hydrangeas, bays, privets, etc., tanks of
aquatics, etc., were tastefully arranged
in the open air. The location for the
show was an ideal one, there being a
background of stately trees on the W.
W. Astor estate, and it was planted or
effectively screened from view on all
sides.

Newport has the ideal setting for
an open-air summer show, superior to
probably any other American city.
Living here are large numbers of so-
ciety's acknowledged leaders, and of
these on the committee of arrangements
were such well known names as those
of Mrs. Pembroke Jones, Mrs. C. F.
Hoffman, Mrs. French Vanderbilt, Mrs.
J. Stewart Barney, Mrs. Geo. D.
Widener and Mrs, C. I. Whitman. Ar-
thur Herrington made an efficient show
manager and had as co-workers Wm.
Gray, James Bond, John Urquhart, Wm.
McKay and Andrew Dorward. Great
credit is due these gentlemen for the
efficient manner in which they per-
formed their duties. There was, as

a small tent with a large collection of
annuals and perennials, all named.
There were good groups, not in competi-
tion, of caladiums, cannas, crotons, Rex
begonias, ferns, etc. For special prizes
offered hy Carters Tested Seeds Co.
for twenty-four gloxinias, James Watt
was first and Oscar Schultz was second.

The basket and table decorations on
the second and third days were well
competed for and the entries were all
high-class in quality, as is usual at
Newport shows.

Among visitors from a distance were:

A. Herrington, Madison, N. J.; J. K.

F. G. Sealey, Eutherford, N. J.; R.

B. H. Tracy, Wenham, Mass.

The judges, committees and exhib-
itors were the guests of Mrs. C. F.
Hoffman at a dinner in the Bellevue
hotel on the evening of August 12. Wm.
McKay, president of the Newport Hor-
ticultural Society, was in the chair,
and during the evening addresses were
made by A. Herrington, "Wm. Gray, B.
H. Tracy, J. E. Lager, W. N. Craig,
Wm. Anderson, W. Tricker, J, S. Hay,
J. T. Clark and others. Mr. Herring-
ton said that he considered Newport,
over all other cities in America, was
the ideal location for a great summer
show on the plan of such shows as the
noted one at Shrewsbury, England.

The Market.

Two flowers now dominate the cut
flower market; namely, the aster and
the gladiolus. With these removed, the
quantity of flowers arriving would be
small, and any special decoration or
large funeral order would absorb all
available material of quality. Gladi-
oli were never in such abundance, nor
sold at such absurdly low prices; $1 per
hundred is as much as the majority
bring, and great numbers cannot be
moved at even that low figure. At
prevailing prices it cannot pay to
burden the market with these flowers,
as their weight and bulk make ship-
ments high. Asters of fine quality are
coming now from some growers; others
are marketing small flowers of the early
batches. Good flowers make $1.50 to
$2 per hundred.

Most of the roses are small and short-
stemmed. Too many of these are ar-

riving and low prices rule. Good flow-
ers sell moderately well. A few carna-
tions are seen. These are small. New-
crop flowers are about due. A few
Golden Glow chrysanthemums arrive,
but they are not wanted at this early
date. Sweet peas are poor and valley
is mostly of iilf erior quality. Lilies are
in excess of demands. Cosmos and
montbretias sell fairly well, but
dahlias go slowly. There are few or-
chids or gardenias.

Various Notes.

The Continental Nurseries, of Frank-
lin, Mass., are sending in a nice lot
of conifera? in pots to the Mann Co.
The name in large, bold letters is at-
tached to each variety, so that pur-
chasers know what they are buying.

W. A. Hastings, of the Flower Ex-
change, took a party of friends on a
motor boat fishing trip down Boston
harbor, August 20. Ideal weather fa-
vored them and the finny family were
hauled aboard in goodly numbers.

Guy Cateldo, one of our north end
florists, left with hundreds of other
Italians to join the army of his native
country last week. Several others are
planning to go.

Mrs. J. P. Snow, of Sharon, is send-
ing in the finest cosmos I have
seen in the local markets this season.

Visitors last week included J. H.
Dodds, of Wyncote, Pa.; W. B. Rogers
and Alexander Burr, of Kennebunk

J. A. Nelson, of Framingham, planted
out over 90,000 carnations in the field
this season. He says his surplus plants
have kept moving at a lively gait.

Shippers of Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums include Paul F. Brigham, of West-
boro, and Edward Bingham, of Dedham.

Peirce Bros., of Waltham, are get-
ting a nice early crop of Killarney,
White Killarney, Ward, Sunburst and
Taft roses from their new stock.

Some of the local growers who took
a goodly share of the premiums at the
Newport show and convention of the
American Gladiolus Society were:

Chamberlain and B. H. Tracy. James
Wheeler, of Natick, was one of the
judges. Practically every local gladi-
olus fancier attended.

Herbert T. Capers receives from
3,000 to 5,000 asters of exceptional
quality daily from A. R. Smith, of
West Newton. The flowers are extra
large and carried on 24-inch stems.

Mrs. William Rosenthal, of the Boston
Cut Flower Co., is convalescing slowly
but satisfactorily from her attack of
typhoid fever at the Peter Bent Brig-
ham hospital.

This is governors' week in Boston
and there are over thirty governors and
many ex-governors in attendance at
the first governors' convention held in
New England. The social gatherings
incidental to the affair have stimulated
cut flower trade considerably.

At Penn's this week funeral work
continues heavy. Letters from Mr. and
Mrs. William Penn speak of the enjoy-
able time they have had in San Fran-
cisco and at other Pacific coast points.

Welch Bros. Co. reports a moderate
shipping trade, with plenty of stock.
Of asters and gladioli there is a heavy
excess.

William Sim is now the heaviest
local shipper of gladioli. His flowers
are handled by H. M. Robinson & Co.,
at the Cooperative Market.

A. L. Bock, foreman for Wax Bros.,
left August 14 for the Weirs, Lake
Winnipesaukee, N. H., where he will
spend his vacation.

Preliminary schedules for the 1916
March and May exhibitions of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
have been issued. There are rather
fewer classes than usual for the March
show, but the May schedule is quite an
imposing one. Among the more impor-
tant classes at the May show are these:
Group of azaleas, with prizes of $100
and $50; group of hydrangeas, $75 and
$40, • group of orchids, $200 and $100,

Several days of continuous rain had
a bad effect on business. Eetailers re-
port little trade outside of funeral
work, but they look forward to the
school openings and the home-comings
of summer tourists. Great quantities
of asters were received last week.
White and purple had a good demand,
but other colors had little call. There
was a scarcity of gladioli and prime
stock is again bringing $3 per hundred.
Eoses are in good supply. Thrf cut from
young stock is unusually heavy. The
Killarney varieties are in the majority.
Richmond, Hadley and Beauties are
fine. Carnations are scarce; field-grown
stock only is coming in. Golden Glow
and Smith's Advance chrysanthemums
are in, but meet with little demand.
Tuberoses are not quite so plentiful as
they have been. The best bring $3 per
hundred. Giganteum and rubrum

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Betail
Florists' Association did not take place
August 16, on account of the absence
of President Charles Young and Secre-
tary Fred Weber, Jr. All business was
laid over until the September meeting.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will meet September 1. Presi-
dent Ude says it is important that all
members be present, as the heads of
the five wholesale houses are expected
to be present to discuss the question of
Sunday closing.

Fred Strohmeyer, of the Strohmeyer
Floral Co., and his bride-to-be. Miss
Ella Weber, are motoring through Illi-
nois. They are chaperoned by Miss
Weber's sister, Mrs. Charles Brithow,
and expect to be gone for two weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. William C. Smith, who
spent two weeks at Blue Lodge Springs,
Mo., returned last week. Otto G.
Koenig, head of the Koenig Floral Co.,
is also at Blue Lodge, spending a few
of his vacation days there.

Henry Muskopf, of Muskopf & Irish
Co., landscape architects, has a force of
men at Webster Groves doing work in
tree surgery. H. C. Irish is kept busy
looking after the school gardens.

Max Pelletier, the south end florist,
has returned from New York, where he
spent a week. Mrs. Pelletier made a
trip to Chicago recently to arrange for
cut stock for the coming season.

The annual picnic of the employees of
the St. Louis Seed Co. will take place
August 29, at Waterloo, 111. The heads
of the company have made great
preparations for a day of enjoyment
for the employees and their families.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. reports having had a busy week
shipping white enameled wooden easels,
which have taken a great hold on the
trade. The bulk of the shipments went
to the southwestern florists.

Souvenir postals have been received
from Frank Windier, who is on the Pa-
cific coast. He states he will visit rela-
tives in New Orleans, La., before re-
turning home.

Miss Agnes Tucker has opened a
store at 1431 North Taylor avenue, to

Cathedral Florist. Miss Tucker was
secretary for the circuit attorney for a
number of years and has a wide ac-
quaintance, wl^ich should assure her
success in her venture.

Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., says all the local
nurserymen expect a busy fall season.
A great many advance orders for trees,
shrubs and privet hedges have already
been booked.

McCloskey & Bock opened a retail
store at 1027 North Qrand avenue last
week. The location is a good one and
both men have a large acquaintance.
This makes eleven flower stores on
Grand avenue.

John Held, on South Tennessee ave-
nue, has his place in excellent shape
for the fall and winter season. His
several houses of chrysanthemiyn
plants are looking fine and should yield
a big crop of fancy blooms.

The stay-at-homes were pleased to
learn, from the report in The Eeview,
of the election of Dan MacBorie as
president of the S. A. F., and of the
selection of Houston, Tex., as the next
meeting place.

Fred C. Weber, Sr., has returned from
his vacation trip, looking much re-
freshed. Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber,
Jr., and their son, are at Williams Bay,
Wis. They are the guests of Mrs. F. C.
Weber, Sr., who has a cottage there.

It is reported that the members of
the Betail Florists' Association will or-
ganize a bowling club in the coming
winter and bowl every Monday night.
This will greatly increase the member-
ship if conducted on the same basis as
by the old Florists ' Club 's bowlers, for
they never missed a weekly bowling
from May 1, 1893, to August, 1904,
when interest failed and the club dis-
banded. J. J. B.

PITTSBUEQH.

The Market.

Notwithstanding the many state-
ments to the contrary, business last
week was similar to that of any other
August, which means that it could not
be much worse.

There is a sufficiency of good Amer-
ican Beauties on the market. Splendid
asters, gladioli and valley take care of
the demand, while a large quantity of
inferior stock finds its way to the waste
pile. Carnations have been thrown out,
and the growers are busy replanting.
The carnation stock is the finest ever
planted. It has never looked better
than this season.

The wholesale houses seem to have
one great di£Sculty, and that is to dis-

pose of the great quantities of stock
shipped in. It finds them working
harder than vrhen there is good busi-
ness.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. A. Williams has had her store
redecorated and the display window
has been arranged to exhibit fancy wa-
ter lilies. The interior of the store has
been adorned with palms and ferns,
which afford a cool as well as pretty
decoration. As the city is raising the
street three feet, to eliminate flood-
ing, it will be a month before Mrs.
Williams can hope to have things in
normal shape again.

Randolph & McClements have been
busy overhauling and repainting their
greenhouses. The store has also been
thoroughly renovated and is now ready
for fall business. This firm recently
received a large order from the Penn-
sylvania railroad, at Altoona, which is
much appreciated at this time of the
year.

The A. W. Smith Co. is continuing
its wonderful display of outdoor flow-
ers at the store. Great bunches of tri-
toma have been artistically arranged,
making a picture that wins the atten-
tion of the passers-by.

Ray Daschbach has a special display
window consisting of a stream, water-
fall and lake, with water lilies and
ferns arranged in a manner that is un-
usually attractive. Small turtles have
been placed in the lake.

The Blind Floral Co. had a good dis-
play of ferns, lilies and gladioli last
week.

T. P. Langhans and family and E. A.
Ashcroft and family are at Atlantic
City for their vacations.

Edward Weaver and family spent
their vacation camping in the moun-
tains.

Frank Stafford and family have gone
to the seashore for a short stay.

Miss Emma Maxwell recently went
to Van Buren Park, N. Y., by auto-
mobile. During her absence the store
was exceedingly busy.

Mrs. J. J. Puchs has been ill for sev-

AXERIOAX SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.
President, John M. Lapton, Mattltuck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

The Formosa lily bulbs are ready for.
delivery.

Ralph M. Ward, of New York, was a
Chicago visitor August 25, on a busi-
ness trip after his vacation in Nova
Scotia.

W. H. Small, of W. H. Small & Co.,
Ev^ansville, Ind., is traveling on the
Pacific coast and visiting members of
the trade there.

James Kelv^ay states that twenty-
three per cent of the entire staff of
!^lway & Son, (Langport, to date has
joined the British colors.

The man who is looking for onion
seed that is not tied up by somebody's
contract finds it possible to procure sur-
prisingly few tenders from first hands.

W. Atlee Buepee & Co., Phildelphia,
state that they have advices from Cali-
fornia that the crops of their new sweet
peas will be much shorter than they an-
ticipated.

The onion set specialists are not
anxious to book orders just now. The
crop is large, but the prospect of a loss
of possibly as much as fifty per cent
leads to the present reluctance to com-
mit oneself to price quotations.

The cow pea and soy bean outlook in
Tennessee was never better than thus
far this season, it is said. If nothing
happens to change things, there should
be an unusually heavy crop of seed of
both. They are mostly set and should
ripen inside of the next month.

The Fairview Seed Farms, Inc., of
Syracuse, N. Y., has been merged with
the F. B. Mills Seed Co., of Syracuse
and Rose HiU, N. Y. Frank B. Mills,
president of the company bearing his
name, states that his company owned all
the capital stock of the Fairview Seed
Farms.

It is reported that there has been
considerable acreage of beans, mostly
Kentucky Wonder, allowed to go to
seed in the vicinity of Nashville, as the
price of green beans did not warrant
picking them. This is expected to pro-
vide an abundance of seed for the local
market.

H. P. Bell, of Faribault, Minn., has
sold his businet's, the Faribault Seed Co.,
to O. J. Stark. Mr. Stark has been
connected with the company for a num-
ber of years, and will conduct the busi-
ness under the same name. The company
was established many years ago by the
late A. J. Bell.

The growers of gladiolus bulbs who
depend on the sale of cut blooms for a
considerable part of their annual revenue
this year are in position to appreciate the
feelings of their customers, who find
flowers of even the higher priced varie-
ties bringing only a few pennies per
dozen.

The onion set crop at Chicago is in a
somewhat discouraging condition. A year
ago, the crop had been harvested for
more than a month. This year it is not
more than one-third harvested and the
harvesters are compelled to work in

WE WISH YOU A

Merry, Merry Christmas

You will wish us one if yon plant Ay res' Christmas Flowering or Winter Spencer Sweet Peas
now, which spells dollars for you. Don't delay— have that crop; there is still time to plant.

Winter Countess Spencer Is undoubtedly the
finest sweet pea In existence; It Is extremely
early and blooms profusely all winter and spring;
during tbe darkest days it still radiates the gor-
geous pinlc shade, as though still kissed by tbe
sun; in no other variety have we noticed so
prominently the delightful fragrance that exists
in these mammoth blooms. Truly the sweet pea
of the day., The seed is worth double what w(>
ask; but to introduce everywhere, our price Is,
oz., $8.00; 2 oz., $15.00; V* Ih., $28.00; lb.,
$110.00.

Winter Ked Spencer; large wavy orange red,
most valuable for winter cutting, oz., $4.50; 2
oz., $8.00; V4 lb., $15.00; lb., $50.00.

Winter White Spencer (black seeded, which
makes it especially easy to germinate), mam-
moth wavy double-like flowers, very prolific and
undoubtedly the finest white in existence, oz.,
$6.50; 2 oz., $12.00; Vt lb., $23.00.

Winter Lavender TTnwin, the best winter lav-
ender in cultivation; mammoth flower — truly a
gem, oz., $2.50; 14 lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00.

Winter Duplex Fink Spencer; true Spencerian
or Orchid type of a shell pink color, oz., $3.50;
2 oz., $6.60; % lb., $12.00.

Popularity Spencer No. 11 is made up of two
shades of the most exquisite pink; they bunch
perfectly together, and in this the florist re
ceives the two popular shades of the highest
Spencer perfection. Oz., $7.00; 2 oz., $13.00; %
lb., $25.00; lb., $90.00.

Wm. L. Bock Spencer. This winter blooming
butterfly has developed into one of the grandest
varieties of the day. Mr. Bock himself declares
it to Ije the king of all Spencers. It is a very
shy seeder, and for this reason we have had to
turn down hundreds of customers, our supply
having been exhausted shortly after harvest;
this year we can spare just 100 ounces; so be
early. Oz., $8.00; 2 oz., $15.00; 14 lb., $28.00;
lb., $110.00. The above unavoidably contains
■ome of our Winter Blushing Bride Spencer, but

as It is equally as valuable as Rock and bunches
well with it, we believe this will be agreeable
news.

Ayres' Orchid Spencer Mixture contains the
most celebrated of our winter flowering origina-
tions; those who do not care to spend very much
money and yet desire colors that will bunch
beautifully, should by all means purchase some
of these. Oz., $2.50; % lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00.

AMERICAN PANSY FARM

The Cream of American and Earoi)ean PansieB in

Consolidation Mammoth Mixture

It contains the most beautiful and rare shades
of the Pansy Universe; the blooms are enormous
in size, borne on stems consistently long; they
have been grown and reselected until now they
show a most remarkable hardiness by with-
standing the cold weather of the north, with
little or no prbtectlon, and even showing blooms
many times during the winter. On account of
an unusually large crop we are able to make
this unusually low price:

NOTE — One ounce of Consolidation Mixture
will produce easily 20,000 plants, and fignrin^
an extremely low price of Ic each In the spring,
you have a profit of $197.00 on Just one ounce;
enough seed for 80,000 plants costs you only
$10.00; if you wish to sell, say one-half your
plants this fall at about $3.00 per 1000— a Ee-
view ad will do the work— leaving you a nice
little profit and with $400.00 worth of plants
for spring sales. Does this look attractive?

third shipment of the year, bringing
the total number of cases received to

HOLLAND SEED CBOPS.

Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland,
say it was difficult to get farmers to
grow seeds this year, because of less
work and better prices that now go
with food crops. Weather conditions
have been continuously unfavorable
and many growers early plowed up poor
fields, so that a general shortage, more
or less, of all seeds is to be faced.

A NOVELTY OF ME^IIT.

This grand new variety Is a great advance;
the charming salmon tint of the flowers is
further enhanced by a clear claret base. The
fine bold flowers are of perfect shape, of
large size, and are borne on strong stems well
above the foliage.

It is a free grower, and should be included
In all up-to-date lists.

DISEASED PLANTS.

The unusually heavy rainfall throughout the country has wrought destruction, by
disease, upon all plant life, and especially antirrhinums. We shall hear some gloomy
reports.

We would offer a word of advice. Where stock is diseased, discard it. If healthy,
keep it so by using a good fungicide. Fungine is the best that we know. «Use it lightly as
a spray once a week.

If you haven't healthy plants and need some we can be of service to you now and
later. We are being deluged with orders and our stock for fall blooms may soon be taken,
but we have thousands of healthy seedlings coming on for September and October.

Can make immediate shipment of plants as follows: Sliver Pink SeedUnss, Sl.OO

per 100; $35.00 per 1000. Yellow and Garnet Seedlings at $5.00 per 100. Other varieties later.

Right now is an important time to sow seed to have plants to follow mums. Seed of
our famous Silver Pink at $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $,5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet.
Yellow, White, Buxton and mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

When sending an order today, H. W. Lane, Lancaster, N. H., writes: "Your Silver
Pink Seedling Snaps were more than satisfactory. Some are yet doing nicely."

Remember, our one business is growing snapdragon. You run no risk with our goods.
All orders cash. Cultural directions free.

Of cauliflower there is no large acre-
age and only an average stand. Brus-
sels sprouts promise better, but the
plantation is small. Turnip indicates
a small crop. Kohlrabi is almost a
failure. Beets are various. Radish
will not answer the demand. Only a
little parsley survived. A small sup-
ply of spinach is all that can be ex-
pected. Parsnip ie a fair stand, but
small area.

The crop of tall nasturtiums will

nasturtiums will be decidedly short.

SOME POINTS ON QLADIOLI.

At the moment our British friends
are feeling keenly the efforts of the
Hollanders who are trying to market
their surplus stock in England. The
result is much tart comment in the Brit-
ish trade press, the following, by
W. A. T., in the Horticultural Trade
Journal, being a sample that will be
read with interest in the United States:

"One f«els inclined to think that our
Holland friends have been going the
pace with gladioli unreasonably fast,
and in doing so have, instead of get-
ting rich quick, simply crabbed the
market. Allowing that certain varie-
ties are prolific spawners, that is no
reason why the stock should be multi-
plied at such a rate that the bulbs
have to be thrown here, there and
everywhere at any price, to ensure any-
thing like a clearance. It seems to be
an unfortunate failing of certain Hol-
landers that they cannot realize where
to draw the line. The fact that the soil
in Holland is so highly suitable for the
rapid growth of bulbs is no argument
for overproduction. Moreover, it ought
to be realized that Great Britain and
its people, even in war days, is not go-
ing to eat gladioli nor root out every
other garden flower in order to plant
them.

"The Americans seem to manage
things much better. As everyone
knows, America has made a feature of
gladioli for many years, especially as
market flowers, but despite the numer-
ous growers, and the success of some
of them as raisers, the American gen-
eral public has never had named gladi-
olus bulbs thrown at them at such rates
as now prevail for I)utch bulbs in this
country.

sorts as America, Panama, etc., to ri-
diculously low prices, injuring not only
others but themselves also. It remains
to be seen what the end will be. The
Americans, I believe, are holding their
own, and the British firms who hold

on to their own stocks while ignoring
the plethora of Dutch sorts are, I
imagine, still able to do good business
with those who desire choice varieties
for exhibition or other purposes. I am

Woman versus
Mystery

(Continued from last week.)
Well, as I was saying, I was motor-
ing past the Hotel and was espied by-
two male earth beings, one an acquaint-
ance and the other a stranger, but he
now thinks there are stranger things
than him. A little later my "saluted"
friend telephoned me that his friend
wanted to meet me. Perhaps the two
empty seats in my machine looked good,
but nevertheless I did not feel inclined
to be sociable, and still did not want
them to know how impolite I really
am; I stammered and giggled for a while,
and wished I did not know how to
talk over a telephone, and finally said
it would be a pleasure to meet any ac-
quaintance of his. Well, the little
party was arranged. The next thing
to do was for me to get "dressed up;"
I got all decorated up in my best, like
a battleship for inspection day, and if
I looked like I felt, I was certainly
some comic valentine, of the funniest
type. At a long range from the mirror
I was not the worst possible to look
at, but at a close glance, oh, dear me,
my enthusiasm went dead. But, thinks
I, this is no time for a funeral, but —
it's coming later, if I live through it.

gladiolus producer, due to the class of
bulb the soil and climate produces. I
have handled not a few Dutch, Amer-
ican and English bulbs, but I never saw
the like of Mair & Son's special seed-
ling bulbs. The Mairs are not only
growers, but breeders also, and if
Europa has not more than met its
match in Mairs' Snow-wreath, I am
much mistaken.

"It is curious how the craze for big
corms has developed. This no doubt is
due to the amateur who labors under
the delusion that big bulbs are better
than small. As might be expected, top
size corms of two inches and over form
only a small proportion of a crop, and
a higher price is asked. But these big
corms do not denote extra vigor or
quality. They simply come about
through being grown on moist, rich
soil, such as Holland possesses.

"It remains to be seen what will
happen through this overfatness of
Dutch gladioli, and with a view to
making comparisons I am this season
planting trial lots of large and small
corms of both Dutch and home growth,
l)itting them against some large Scotch
and some small American corms.

"Personally, I am inclined to think
that the thick giant corms are more
liable to suffer when planted on dry,
poorish soils. I have demonstrated to
my own satisfaction that extremely dry
soils bring about some form of disease
in gladioli, and a big American grower
has informed me that he has observed
the same thing.

"Speaking of American grown gladi-
oli, they are never large nor so thick
as the Dutch, but they are brighter in
appearance and better ripened than the
average Dutch sample, and to some
extent, give better results. The higher
prices, however, tell against them in
England in these days of cheapness, to
say nothing of freightage and the
greater delay if wanted in a hurry. ' '

FORCE OF TRADE CUSTOMS.

Contracts for sale of wholesale quan-
tities of seed, nursery or floral stock
are subject to the well established rule
of law that a business contract is con-
trolled by uniform trade customs when
not at variance with the express terms
Oi the agreement. This is especially
so where both parties either know of
such customs, or are so situated that
their knowledge of them may be
presumed.

This rule was applied by the Wis-
consin Supreme court in an interesting
case growing out of a contract for sale
of clover seed. (Gehl vs. Milwaukee
Produce Co., 105 Wisconsin Keports,
573.) The court decided that when a
custom as to place of delivery is shown
to be uniform in the locality where it
is recognized, unless it is shown that
both parties are silent on that point,
intending to exclude it, or that one
party is ignorant thereof to the knowl-
edge of the other, the custom should
control as to the manner and place of
delivery. In this case it appears that
the plaintiffs agreed to sell a quantity
of white clover seed to the defendant,
but that no place for delivery was desig-
nated. It also appeared that there was
a uniform custom among seed dealers
in Milwaukee, where the transaction
arose, requiring the seller to deliver at
the buyer's store. But the plaintiffs
insisted that, in the absence of agree-
ment as to place of delivery, the de-
fendant buyer was bound to call for the

Various Notes.

A. Wiegand's Sons Co., which has
been building a bulb cellar for the
last ten days, has been experiencing
quite a little trouble. After the exca-
vation had been completed, a heavy
rain caused it to cave in about five
feet all around. The barn, under which
the cellar is being built, was finally
fished out of the hole, and when the
foundation was completed the whole
thing collapsed. Fortunately, the men
were not in the cellar at the time, or it
would have been sure death. As it was,
one of the men suffered a broken leg.

Walter Bertermann has been in north-
ern Indiana and at Lake Wawasee on^

William Smith, formerly with the

sition with A. Wiegand's Sons Co. Fred
Stolte, with this firm, has invested in

Adolph Baur is seriously thinking of
putting in a car for delivery service.
This is against Adolph 's convictions,
as he is strong for old Dobbin, but he
just has to come to it.

H. P. Knoble and F. A. Friedley, of

Bellingliam, Wash. — Adolph Allen-
borch is proprietor of the Cornwall
Park Greenhouse.

Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Flo-
rist Co., conducted by C. T. Kipp and
Paul Jandl, has taken a 5-year lease on
a store in the Mohawk block, on River-
side street. Messrs. Kipp and Jandl
propose to make the new location one
of the finest flower shops in the west.
In addition to the main store, 23x90,
they will build a roof garden green-
house, 14x29. The store will be deco-
rated with a permanent fountain six
feet in diameter. The company's shop
in the Davenport hotel will be con-
tinued.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The demand for flowers for social
functions has been light. A fair amount
of funeral work has been handled.

Gladioli, asters and a variety of gar-
den flowers fill the display windows.
Some splendid Ulrich Brunner roses
with extra long stems are shown.
Golden Glow mums and dahlias are
featured in some of the displays.
Potted ferns are displayed, but the
season is not far enough advanced for
any great demand for them.

Club Meeting.

At the meeting of the Portland Flo-
ral Society held at its headquarters in
Masonic Temple, August 17, H. E.
Weed and Guy M. Pilkington reported
that the thirty-five park superintend-
ents who spent Sunday, August 15, in
Portland were well pleased with the
attention shown them. Through the
department of public parks, automo-
biles were provided, and the party was
taken over the scenic boulevards along
the west side hills and to the main
city park. They visited several parks
and playgrounds and were served with
a fine lunch on the summit of Mt.
Tabor. Those who stayed until the
evening train were given a banquet
at the Commercial club, at which Geo.
L. Baker, commissioner of the park
bureau, presided. Jas. O. Convill, park
superintendent, and E. T. Mische, city
landscape architect, took leading parts
in entertaining the visitors.

Julius Dossche, of the exhibition
committee, stated that arrangements
had been completed for a floral center
at Vancouver, Wash., to be staged at
the time of the Clarke county fair,
September 6 to 11, and that about
5,000 potted plants would be needed.
Booths will be erected for the exhibi-
tion of cut flowers, in which dahlias
will be the leading flower.

R. W. Gill, manager of the fall show
of the Northwest National Dahlia So-
ciety, reported satisfactory progress
with plans for the show, which is to
be held in the Meier & Frank depart-
ment store building September 23 to
25.

H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult-
nomah county fair, said the beds of
plants set out by members of the so-
ciety at the Gresham grounds were all |
in fine condition.

The entertainment consisted of a
talk by E. H, White, of the Willamette
Dahlia Co., on the work being done
by his company and other growers to
improve the quality of the dahlia. He
exhibited several seedlings which his
company is developing, and named and
described several imported varieties
which he had brought in. R. W. Gill
stated that the petals of the dahlia
had a greater capacity for absorbing
moisture than those of any other
flower and that this characteristic
made possible the shipment of dahlia
blooms for a considerable distance.

One new member was elected, and
one application for membership read.
A resolution^ providing rules to govern
the society's officers in sending flow-
ers to the funerals of deceased mem-
bers or of their near relatives was dis-
cussed and referred to the board of
trustees.

Various Notes.

E. T. Mische, J. G. Bacher, J. B.
Pilkington, Wm. Martin, A. J. Clarke,
and Samuel Roake attended the S. A.
P. convention.

J. Feser, of the Mountain View Flo-
ral Co., said the company had rushed
the work of budding rose stock during
the recent favorable weather and had
nearly finished.

Geo. Goos said he had not put in any
benched stock this season, but would
grow potted plants instead.

August Lowitz, who has charge of
the landscaping at the Oaks park, has
used tuberous begonias with good re-
sults this season. The geraniums,
single petunias, ricinus, ageratums,
abutilons and other plants show the
effect of good culture.

A. T. De La Mare, of New York;
John G. Esler and daughter, of Saddle

River, N. J., and Alfred C. Hottis, of
the department of floriculture at Cor-
nell University, arrived August 14 and
were entertained by J. G. Bacher and
Chas. Welty. They joined the party
of park superintendents going south
August 15.

W. H. Small, seedsman, of Evans-
ville, Ind., called on the trade.

Some of the best gladioli displayed
come from the gladiolus farm of W. L.
Crissey.

G. Teufel has finished benching his
early carnation plants. He has plants
of Victory growing for one house,
which he will not bench till late in
September.

The Holden Floral Co. is cutting
some good Golden Glow mums.

L. P. Jensen, landscape architect, of
St. Louis, and J. C. Forbes, of Forbes
& Keith, dahlia specialists, of New
Bedford, Mass., were with the party
of park superintendents. S. W. W.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

There has been an unusually heavy
call for funeral work this week, and
for one funeral two large motor trucks
of flowers were sent to the cemetery.
But while this uses a lot of flowers
and greens, there are still large num-
bers left and every day sees a lot of
stock dumped out. Golden Glow and
Monrovia chrysanthemums are the
principal additions to the stock of-
fered this week.

San Francisco fair and reports a fine
time. 6. Newman is no longer connect-
ed with the firm of S. Murata & Co.
He is now in San Francisco and is
figuring on either an eastern trip or a
trip to Japan. I noted the first Golden
Glow chrysanthemums at this store this
week and the new-crop carnations are
coming along finely.

Walter Garbett, manager of Dar-
ling's Flower Shop, has gone to Cata-
lina island for a two weeks' vacation.

Mr. and Mrs. F. Lichtenberg have
gone to Bear Valley for their vacation.
Carl Brose has gone to the mountains
in Ventura county for deer and Bert
. Bateman is holding down the stand. A
lot of good funeral wOrk was reported.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery
Co., and H. W. Turner, of Montebello,
left for the convention August 15.

Tassano Bros, report large advance
orders for the September fashion show.

The newer cannas are making an
elegant display at the nursery of the
Germain Seed & Plant Co., on the Whit-
tier road. In previous years the green
corn bug has given a lot of trouble,
but dusting with Corona Dry, an ar-
senate of -lead preparation, has given
splendid results against this pest in
the present season. H. R. Richards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

It looks as if August, normally one
of the poorest business months, may
be the best month of this year. Cer-
tainly the stores are keeping remark-
ably busy, and with the convention of
the S. A. F. last week demanding at-
tention, the florists of San Francisco
and vicinity have had a strenuous
week. Although there was little
change in counter trade and general
decorations, funeral and wedding busi-
ness has been decidedly active.

There is still a heavy supply of
scabiosas, stocks, calliopsis, coreopsis,
marigolds, marguerites, gypsophilas,
mignonette, etc., most of which prom-
ise to hold out for some time. Many
nice sunflowers are being sold. Zinnias
are offered more freely, but are poor in
quality. A few sweet peas are still ar-
riving, but most of them are trashy.
New-crop carnations are not yet much
of a factor, and old stock is playing
out, the daily offerings being light and
poor. The market is heavily supplied
with asters, which are in rather lighter
demand. Chrysanthemums are becom-
ing better, and the increasing supply
cleans up readily. The chrysanthemums
are chiefly Golden Glow, Monrovia and
October Frost, but several other varie-
ties are expected soon, and the ship-

ping movement should be under way in
a week or two. Few gladioli are seen
in the shops this week. The supply of
dahlias is increasing and some fine
stock is appearing. Lilies are over-
abundant, especially rubrum, and there
are liberal offerings of auratum. Both
are used largely in decorations. The
cut of storage giganteum is ample.
Amaryllis is moving better, with rather
large offerings. With cooler weather,
roses show some improvement, but are
not yet of attractive quality. There is
nothing new as to varieties. Orchids
are scarce, though a few are being re-
ceived, in several varieties. Gardenias
have been decidedly popular, and
cleaned up readily. In potted stock,
unusually fine cockscomb, both red and
yellow, was received last week. A few
cyclamen plants are appearing, and a
good supply of primulas is arriving.

Various Notes,

Notwithstanding the many nocturnal
celebration8,\a great many of the visit-
ing florists last week took time to visit
the flower market during the active
period, between 6:30 and 8 a. m. The
visitors found many interesting fea-
tures in the methods of handling the
stock, one of them being the growers'
cooperative system in the carnation
market. The chief interest, however,
was in the abundance and quality of
the stock itself. The leading stores
have been keeping open house, and most
of them have taken pains to have some-
thing better than usual to display.

J, Tsuda, president of the Tsuda
Nursery Co., wholesale growers of Japa-
nese bulbs, plants and seeds, has an
office at 463 Pacific building. He an-
nounces the intention of establishing a
nursery near San Francisco, as a sup-
plement to the company's nurseries in
Japan.

Domoto Bros, brought in many nice
cyclamen plants^ last week.

B. Eschner, president of the M. Eice
Co., of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Eschner,
have been spending several weeks trav-
eling on the coast.

Albert 0. Stein had the work of
decorating the hall in the San Fran-
cisco auditorium, for the 8. A. F. con-
vention, and the colonial ballroom in
the St. Francis hotel, for the recep-
tion. The principal materials used
were rubrum lilies, furnished by Fer-
rari Bros,, palms and greens from the
MacRorie-McLaren Co., and asters sent
in by the E. W. McLellan Co.

Mr. and Mrs. E, R, Chappell, of Port-
land, Ore., have been on a motor trip
as far south as San Diego, where they
took in the southern exposition. They
returned to San Francisco in time for
the convention.

J, P. Parker, of Santa Cruz, an-
nounces that he recently made an im-
portant addition to his stock of orchids.

Fred Boock, of New Ulm, Minn.,
has left for the north, after spending
the better part of a month in San
Francisco and vicinity.

William Hutchins, a fern grower at
Fruitvale, was married August 33.

During the S. A. F. convention, J. A.
Carbone, of Berkeley, had a beautiful
exhibit of orchids in the store of Peli-
cano, Rossi & Co. The exhibit included
several good pictures of Mr, Carbons 's
greenhouses during the blooming sea-
son.

j,oing to keep it.

H. McWilliams, of Sacramento, was
i.i San Francisco last week to place
ciders and look over the exhibits at
the convention.

George W. Smith, representing the
<'leveland fall flower show, was in San
Francisco last week. He succeeded
ill stirring up a great deal of interest
in the flower show to be held in Cleve-
land this fall.

C. Kooyman has been showing a new
line of Japanese straw flowers, which
lie believes can be profitably dried for
shipping. He had some remarkably fine
(•alia bulbs at the store last week. He
lias just replaced his front counter with
a large glass show case.

The store of the Francis Floral Co.
was quite an attraction last week. The
green lattice decoration gave the place
a unique and striking appearance. Beau-
tiful bisque baskets were a matter of
great interest to the visiting florists.
Mr. Schlotzhauer, the proprietor, has
had such success with these baskets
that he contemplates making them for
the trade.

The Art Floral Co. had a good wed-
ding display for convention week. The
sides of the store were lined to a height
of eight feet with latticework, which
had panels on each side. A life-sized
figure was placed in each panel. There
was a bride in one panel, and the one
next to it had the bridesmaid. On the
other side, a corsaged girl and a girl in
Spanish costume were shown. Each fig-
ure carried an appropriate bouquet. The
background was of greens and the deco-
rations around the panels consisted of
white hydrangeas for the bride and
pink for the maid, Lilium rubrum for
the corsaged girl and cockscomb and
crotons for the Spanish girl. J. Epp-
stein has been busy showing the sights
to visiting friends.

John A. Evans spent a week or so
before the convention with C. W. Ward,
at the latter 's home at Eureka, Cal.,
among the giant redwoods of Humboldt
county. He came back full of enthu-
siasm for the redwood district, and of
?ood words for Mr. Ward's hospitality.

W. H. Johnson, of Chattanooga, will
put in a good block. of ornamental nur-
sery stock on the vacant land by his
new greenhouses.

The American Pomological Society
meeting at San Francisco will draw a
number of nurserymen to the exposition
city again the first week in September.

The Electric Nursery might be a new
name for the William A. Peterson estab-
lishment at Chicago. Everything on the
place, from pumps to grindstones, has
been electrified.

Looking over the stock of several of
the nurseries in Tennessee since August
15, on the whole the stock is looking
much better than it was a year ago.
With business slowly gathering in vol-
ume over the south, activity should be
good this season.

Those of the peony growers who are
not afraid to let their prices be known,
report a good volume of trade orders,
though some of the growers who aim to
make prices to fit their idea of the cir-
cumstances are finding the season a bit
slow. Betail orders for fall delivery have
been accumulating with the peony spe-
cialists and insure a good season's busi-
ness.

Taking them as a class, the nursery-
men of the United States are not an
enthusiastic lot. Business in the last
year was not good enough to satisfy
them and the prospect for the next year
does not promise much improvement.
Here and there a nurseryman is gen-
uinely busy, but in a majority of cases
there is nothing to whistle for except to
keep one's courage up.

Recent business conditions have done
much to hasten the trend toward smaller
and less expensive catalogues. For some
time there has been the feeling that the
fancy books, with their costly cuts and
color plates, while fine for the children
to cut up for scrapbooks, were not sell-
ing stock in proportion to their cost.
The tendency now is distinctly toward
less expensive books and increased news-
paper advertising.

At the summer meeting of the Georgia
State Horticultural Society, at Clarks-
ville, August 18 and 19, President Eobert
C. Berckmans, of Augusta, occupied the
chair. Other members of the trade who
were on the program are: Benjamin W.
Hunt, of Eatonton, who delivered the
response to the address of welcome;
B. W. Stone, of Thomasville, who pre-
sented a paper on "Alfalfa as a By-
crop to Truck and Fruit; " J. B. Wight,
of Cairo, who led in the discussion on
"Pecan Growing in North Georgia;"
Eugene Rumph, of Marshallville, who
spoke on "Asparagus Growing," and
H. G. Hastings, of Atlanta, who led the
discussion on "Bell Peppers as a
Georgia Crop."

fornia Association of Nurserymen and

The Rorists^ Review

August 26, 191S.

T(W^

closed with a banquet in the auxiliary
tea room of the California building at
the San Francisco exposition on thei
evening of Monday, August 16. This
was a fitting close to the conventions,
which had been the most successful in
the history of either organization.
There were ninety at the banquet, mak-
ing it the largest ever held by the nurs-
erymen on the Pacific coast.

A BRITISH REFUTATION.

The British nursery trade was much
exercised over a memorandum recently
prepared by Dr. Gordon Hewitt, Do-
minion Entomologist, Ottawa, Canada,
the purport of which was that nursery
stock from Ireland, Belgium, France,
Japan, Holland and Germany usually
arrives in Canada in excellent condi-
tion, and that English nursery stock
arrives in bad condition, owing to the
lack of care and the use of unsuitable
material in packing. The Horticultural
Trades' Association took the matter
up and, under date of July 28, refutes
the assertion by publishing letters
from a dozen exporting firms each stat-
ing that its packing is first-class and
that it seldom if ever has complaints
from its American customers.

LOW HEDQE NEAR BUILDING.

Please give us a suggestion as to
what we should plant on the south and
east sides of a building. Our plan is
to have some shrub grow close to the
foundation of a public building, some-
thing that we can shear. We do not
care to have it grow more than six
inches high, on the order of a hedge.
Can you tell us what would be suitable,
what kind of soil to use, when to plant
and how far it should be planted from
the building? Our soil is clay. Would
privet be all right, or boxwood! If
so, give an idea of what it should cost
and the best kind for this locality.

A. A. K.— N. Y.

I would suggest using Euonymus
radicans in preference to boxwood.
The euonymus will stand 20 degrees
below zero without injury, and will be
much cheaper than boxwood. Set the
plants out twelve to eighteen inches
apart if 2 years old. If 3 years old
they can go twenty-four inches apart.
This shrub is naturally low habited,
makes a dense ground cover and will
not need so much shearing as box or
privet. The last named can hardly
be kept as low as six inches without
incessant shearing. Plant the euony-
mus in early spring or any time up to
the end of July. Keep clear of the
foundation wall of the building. Add
some sharp sand or gravel to the clayey
soil, and before planting the euonymus,
add some cow manure. The first winter
lay some pine or spruce boughs over
the euonymus. No protection will be
needed in succeeding winters. Most of
the nursery firms advertising in The
Review can quote you prices on euony-
mus. I may add that this is also our
finest hardy climber. C. W.

statement - that we expect shipments of AZALEAS and
other Belgian Plants to arrive this Fall on schedule time.
We already have the permits and all arrangements are made.

We also wish to say that every import order we have booked

Our Hydraoseas are all grown in the open crround during the summer, where they make a tery luxurious ^

growth, producing heavy beads. They are potted up in August and will be thoroughly rootbound in
October. They are extra heavy this season and will not only produce flowers from the shoots but also
from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and wUl satisfy the most critical.

The Market.

Business was good last week, al-
though it was one of the rainiest weeks
we have ever had. Monday was the
only day it did not rain. Tuesday,
August 17, a storm reached here, and
it rained night and day for the re-
mainder of the week. Outdoor stock
did not appear to suffer much. A large
number of funerals caused a strong de-
mand for flowers. Some of the aster
growers report a failure of the out-
door crop, while others will have good
harvests.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel & Sons report good
sales and plenty of stock. They have
the carnations all planted. The chrysan-
themums are looking well.

C. L. Niednagel is cutting a large
crop of roses, including Killarney,
White Killarney, Eussell, Milady and
American Beauty. His Ophelia roses
are making a good showing.

The Blackman Floral Co. had a big
business last week. They are having
a nice cut of American Beauties and
carnations from the field. The new
crop of carnations will soon be cut. A
house of asters looks promising, the
plants having an immense number of
Duds.

Theodore Kuebler is bringing in
some good asters.

J. C. Elspermann has been busy with
funeral work. His mums and carna-
tions are looking fine.

Karl Zeidler is cutting a good many
roses. His mums are growing nicely.

William Halbrooks has another large
greenhouse about completed.

Miss Nellie Goodge, of the Oak Hill
Greenhouses, is cutting gladioli from
the field. All of the outside stock is
in good condition. The mums are mak-
ing a nice growth. E. L. F.

"A Bird in the Hand"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangea in America is worth several Asaleas
in Belg^iuin right now. Of course, the Axaleas may get out of Belgium; we don't
know; conditions may cfaang^e; certainly it is not possible to get anything out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't.
Are you going to take that chance? Can you afford to depend altogether ou imported
forcing stock, when there is plenty of good forcing stock right here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $26.00 the 100.

" 5 and 6 " at 20.00 the 100.

•« "4 " at IS.COthelOO.

French Novelties, all the best ones, at $5.00 the ICO addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, nch,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom,
will grow into money for you, and }ou can cash 'em next Easter.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Trade was dtiU last week. A little
funeral work, however, adds material-
ly to the week's business. The aster
is the most important flower at present
and all colors and grades are plentiful.
They are selling at low prices. Gladi-
oli are a drug on the market and large
quantities of them are going to waste.
America is still the best seller. Eoses
are poor in quality. Key, Milady and
"Ward are oflf color. Double White Kil-
larney is good, but small. Sweet peas
are poor and scarce. Harrisii lilies are
good and are being used considerably
for all occasions. Japanese lilies are

?lentiful and are used a great deal in
uneral work. There is little demand
for summer orchids or valley. There
is a great quantity of excellent Boston
ferns in the market.

Various Kotes.

J. Benson Stafford last week had a
wedding order in which the bride's
bouquet was a most unusual one, a
colonial bouquet made of Ward roses
and valley, with a valley shower.

The Raeker Flower Shop had a neat
Window display of Begonia Vernon and
red gladioli, which was attractive for
this time of the year.

J. H. Rebstock is having his store re-
modeled. The woodwork is painted
white and the walls are a creamy tint.

Henry Krause has returned from
Conesus lake. Walter ILeney, after a
week at Conesus lake and another at
Crystal beach, is back on the job at
S. A. Anderson's,

Jerry Brooking had some exception-
ally large show asters on exhibition
last week. Some of the flowers meas-
ured four to five inches across and had
stems eighteen to twenty-four inches
long.

James J. Bates, formerly of Buffalo
and Akron, has opened an up-to-date
retail store in Oakfield, N. Y. He is
planning to put up a range of glass
in connection with his store. The mem-
bers of the trade wish him success.

The America gladioli which L. H.
Neubeck is growing at Williamsville
are large and handsome and bring a
good price. Leon Neubeck has severed
his connection with his father's green-
houses and is now selling auto tires.

Orlando O 'Field, of M. O 'Field &
Son, of Grimsby, Ont., was in town
last week on business.

A report of the death of William
Warring, who had been with the Wil-
liam Scott Co. for thirty years, will
be found in this week's obituary
column. E. C. A.

The Market.

The cool weather last week seemed
to have a beneficial eflfect on the cut
flower business. Most of the stores
report a fair week, considering the
season of the year. Funeral work did
not amount to much.

Variotis Notes.

The Edwards Floral Hall Co. is
growing large quantities of Lilium
magnificum in pots with great success.
One plant having sixty-nine flowers
and buds measured five and one-half
feet in height and three feet in width.
These plants are a great attraction and
find ready sale.

Robert & Henri, the boardwalk flo-
rists, are featuring some good novelties,
consisting of flowers made up in bas-
kets and centerpieces. The designs
are unusual and have never been seen
here before. Visitors buy them read-
ily. This firm delivers any purchase
by parcel post, insured, without extra
charge.

The Atlantic City Cut Flower Mar-
ket is showing the first Golden Glow
chrysanthemums and dahlias of the
season. There is no great demand for
them.

The display window at the store of
George H. Berke is attractively deco-
rated with asters, ferns and gladioli.

NEWPORT, B. I.

The officers of the Newport Horti-
cultural Society, the judges at the mid-
summer show and a few of the ex-
hibitors from out of the city, number-
ing in all about twenty-five, had a din-
ner at the Bellevue through the cour-
tesy of Mrs. Charles F. HoflPman, presi-
dent of the Newport Garden Club.
After the dinner President William
MacKay called upon members of the
company for brief remarks. Arthur
Herrington, of Madison, N. J., who di-
rected the exhibition, referred in com-
mendatory terms to the enterprise of
the Newport gardeners and their as-
sistance to the national societies.

Many beautiful garden and land-
scape effects are to be noted in the

The Market.

Business has not shown any marked
improvement since last report. The
call for stock, is steady, but not lar^e,
and low priceii are still the riilej Ship-
ping business' is f airly .. gppfl. . Eoses
are ntuch more plentiful than they
were and they include some excellent
bloofns. Many, however, are too far
open when shipped; consequently,
when they get here they are not siJ'
able at any price. The cut of carna-
tions is heavier than it was. Easter
lilies are scarce, but there are plenty
of other lilies. Aster receipts are
heavy and are generally good, but some
of them are rather soft. Gladioli con-
tinue plentiful. Greens, including
some excellent home-grown plumosus
and Sprengeri, are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. G. Gillett and daughter, Miss
Bosalia Gillett, have returned from
Conway, Mich. They experienced
beautiful weather all the time they
were away.

Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell spent
the latter part of last week on a
motor trip to Eichmond and Indian-
apolis, Ind.

Charles Miller, of Covington, was
run down by an auto last week and
severely injured.

visiting relatives in Chicago.

The Market.

Market conditions last week were
better than they have been previously
this month. There was a little better
demand for stock, and the glut seems
to be about over. There are not so
many poor asters coming into the mar-
ket. Shipments from the north have
decreased considerably. Dahlias have
not yet made their appearance in any
great quantities. Gladioli, while still
overplentiful, are not being received
in such enormous quantities as hereto-
fore, and there is a slightly better de-
mand for choice spikes. Eoses are im-
proving in quality and have much
longer stems. The demand for northern-
grown American Beauty roses has im-
proved. Funeral work during the week
was quite heavy, making a good de-
mand for Easter lilies. Orchids eon-

just returned from an extended visit
at the home of Senator Bobert F. Brous-
sard, at Iberia, La.

Plans are being perfected for the
opening of the educational botanical

garden of Frederick, Md., September 2.
The collection of flowers and plants
to be placed in this garden is made up
in part of contributions from the trade.
Elmer Sanders, who is employed at
the^ botanic gardens, met with another
accident when the horse which he was
driving took fright at the breaking of
its bit and in jumping forward caused
him to fall between the shafts. Charles

two weeks' vacation with friends at

Colton, Md. J. H. Van Zandt is spend-
ing a month's vacation at Lazie, Tenn.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we

field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MABK£T.

The most disturbing factor in the
present coal market is the future out-
look. Such a stjttement would fre-
quently be true with regacd to any line
of business — so comnidnly' true as to be
almost commonplace, but it is espe-
cially applicable to the coal trade now,
on account of the changes in freight
rates which were recently decreed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and which go into effect October 1.
Although the new rates have reference
only to anthracite coal, of course they
have more or less influence on the
movement of other kinds of fuel. East
o' Buffalo and Pittsburgh the freights
are lowered; th« average reduction is
between 15 cents and 25 cents per ton.
The lake rates remain unchanged, but
there is an increase of 25 cents per
ton in the rates **to Chicago and
points beyond."

In the middle west the immediate
effect of the announcement of these
freight changes was to stimulate busi-
ness. "The dealers," says a leading
coal journal, "naturally wanted to buy
now to get coal before the advance
went into effect; the operators wanted
to sell coal now, rather than risk the
uncertainties of the market after the
rise should take effect. The buyers and
the operators were, therefore, both
eager to do business, and as a matter
of fact some more business was done.
It is expected that in the next month
a considerable volume of additional
business will be done, largely on this
account."

In addition to the uncertainties men-
tioned, the Chicago dealers in smoke-
less coal have had their own peculiar
perplexities, due to disputes among
themselves in regard to prices. These
disagreements ^have had a tendency to
cause prices to break, but in most cases
the regular figures have been main-
tained. Lump and egg are undisturbed
at circular price of $2.25 and mine-
run is $1.25 to $1.40.

^ As an example of
how we can take care

John Relck^st, of
Onion. N.^ J., wrote
us In January: "We

The After Convention
Heating Hustle

HOW WE CAN HELP IT

pVERY YEAR, right after the S. A. P.
■*^ August Convention is over, our heating
business picks up with a jump. It doesn't
seem to make any difference whether most
men go to the Convention or not, tbey put off
their heating until afterwards just the same.

And so it happens that in former years
we have, at such times, certainly had our
hands full and running over to keep our
deliveries up.

This year, however, we have made addi-
tional provision to take care of just such
rush orders and hurry-call work. Of course
we are not going so far as to suggest your
putting off coming to us until Jack Frost
has nipped things and driven you to it, and
then expect us to do the impossible.

So if you need fittings, and know you
need them, what's the use of putting off
ordering ? Take our Handy Hand Book off its
hook right now and order what you want.

If your boiler needs repairs— get
the repair parts and do the repair-
ing. Or have us do it for you.

If you need a new boiler, why
spend your time and money looking
around at boilers you don't know
much about, when you can promptly
get a Burnham that you know is
absolutely all right?

Of course if you want to talk
things over with us, say when and

asters and dahlias are plentiful and
good. Boses are in fine cut and the

8 rices are within the reach of all.
lUbrum and Easter lilies are abundant
and the market cannot take care of
the cut. Taking all into consideration,
business has been fairly good this sum-
mer.

Various Notes.

The trade was kept extremely busy
on Tuesday of last week, arranging
flowers for the funeral of the late
John Gunckel, president and founder
of the National News Boys' Associa-
tion, who resided in this city. Large
orders were sent in from all parts of
the country.

An effective telegraph window dis-
play was recently made by Scliramm
Bros. The background of the window
was covered with a large map of the
United States and Canada, with tele-
graph wires strung from the northeast-
ern to the southwestern part of the
map. Shipping tags of leading florists
in different cities were pasted to the
window and connected by strings with
the respective cities on the map. Fancy
window cards explained to the public
the object of the^ telegraph system.
Along the front of the window tele-
grams recently received were on ex-
hibition.

Sunday afternoon, August 22, J. L.
Schiller invited all the members of the
Florists* Club to visit his greenhouses.
All enjoyed themselves, and everything
went finely until on the return trip,
when the auto, a 6-cylinder Cadillac,
driven by Harry Heinl, skidded in the
muddy road and went headlong into
the ditch. Confusion reigned for sev-
eral minutes, until the ladies could be
taken from the car. After hours of
labor, the big car was ready for its
return trip. The passengers were un-
injured and the machine was only
slightly damaged.

Arthur Kneisle, publicity manager
for the Florists' Club, returned from a
week's business tour of Cleveland and
Cincinnati. He is representing an ad-
vertising company of Chicago.

A recent visit to the establishment
of Krueger Bros, showed everything in
fine condition, especially the chrysan-
themums and the poindettia plants for
fall.

Fred Bitter, Jr., who has been con-
fined to the hospital by a severe at-
tack of typhoid fever, has been re-
moved to his home and is reported to
be doing finely. Q. B. S.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The excessive rains of the north have
moved down this way, and in the last
two weeks we have had more rain than
in an equal length of time in months,
if not in more than a year. The rain
has been welcome. The ground is bet-
ter soaked than it has been before this
season, and while the weather is unus-
ually cool, everything looks favorable
for a good fall's growth.

Business is dull, but we have not
many flowers to throw away. Boses
are in better supply than they were
two weeks ago, and carnations are be-
ginning to appear. They are good for
the season. Gladioli are the most plen-
tiful flowers, of course, though there is
not a glut, such as we read of in so
many other places. America, King and

When it Comes to Heating
Come to Hitchings

You who have talked to the
superintendent of power in
some of the bis factories,
know that the power returns froni
every pound of coal are figured right
down to almost the last cent.
Guesswork is out of the question.
The variation in cost of power
delivered, of even a few cents of
horse-power, is often the difference
between a manufacturer's profit
and a loss.

The keenest of keen competition
has made this watchful watch-dog
method a necessity. The margin
of profits being more liberal in
the greenhouse growers' business,
longer chances are taken, and
heating experiments
made, which but few
other industries could
possibly stand.

We don't want to
be put down as "croak-
ers." but it does seem
that before long most
growers must give
more serious thought
and attention to their
beating cost. Already

gome of the more careful ones are
demanding of our heating engineers
things that two -years ago would
have been passed over without a
second thought, no matter how
forcibly we presented their im-
portance. ^fMf*

It looks as though a b$*^haiige
were coming when it comes to cut-
ting down heating costs, or equip-
ping a plant with a system of
highest efficiency.

We can do just these things.
Not only can, but are doing it.
Not only are doing it, but have
done it.

For over 65 years we have been

heating greenhouses, which is a

quarter of a century

longer than anyone

else in the field.

All of which has a

Various Notes.

Mclntyre Bros, are offering the trade
fine field-grown carnation plants. The
Mclntyres have been proving them-
selves expert carnation growers the
last two years.

Oscar Geny is" looking after busi-
ness again. He is slowly regaining his
strength.

Floyd Bralliar, of the Hillcrest
School Farm, has been away for the
last ten days. He is now at home,
and is beginning to deliver the fall
orders of peonies and home-grown
bulbs. He reports that they are pretty
well sold out of home-grown bulbs ex-
cept a thousand or so of Golden Spur.

Chas. O. Green, who operates a small
place as a side line, being a printer by
trade, has his houses in good condi-
tion for the fall trade. He does no cut
flower business, but has wagons on the
street with plants at the proper sea-
sons.

In calling on the Joy Floral Co., I
was pleased to see how well the new
roses, Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia, are
coming on. They are certainly good
growers, and are coming into profitable
bloom exceptionally young. But then,
G. Johnson is an exceptional grower
and they have had every chance.

J. F. Corbitt has propagated a nice
lot of plants for the fall wholesale
trade. His poinsettias look unusually
good. He has a pink seedling peren-
nial phlox that is one of the best of
its color I have ever seen. F. B.

The Florists' Review

AUGUST 26,. 1915.

SAJiT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

I

The Market.

Utah is experiencing the hottest and
driest weather that has ever prevailed
in this part of the country. Of late
the temperature has been about 108
degrees.

The market for roses, carnations and
plants is better than that of last y«ar.
The roses from newly benched stock
are bcooming better in length of stem
and quality of bloom, although there
are not enough blobms of the medium
grade to meet the demand." The me-
dium roses sell at $6 per hundred and
the shorts at $4 per hundred. Carna-
tion plants are almost all in the
benches, and blooms are scarce. The
few carnations that are to be had are
of poor quality. The heads are small
and the stems short and weak. They
are sold at $3 per hundred. Potted
plants are moving well, Whitmani and
Boston ferns, gloxinias and tuberous
begonias are the best sellers. Ager-
atums, gypsophilas, asters, gladioli,
snapdragons, feverfew and stocks are
used extensiv^y. There is a cppstant
call for gladioli. Clirysanthemums are
on the market, but do not sell y'ireU.

Various Notes.

The Evans Floral Co. reports an in-
crease in sales over last year.

Charles Alt, of the Huddart Floral
Co., has returned from his vacation.
He spent two weeks near Hailey and
Ketchum, Ida., ffishing and hunting.
Al. Alt went to San Francisco for the
S. A. F. convention.

Mr. Gray, of the B. C. Morris Floral
Co., has returned from a few weeks'
visit to Chicago.

Mrs. E. J. Sanders is spending two
weeks in California.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller went to
the Panama-Pacific exposition, with the
intention of attending the S. A. F.
convention.

Charles Soter finds business good.
The window in his new store is kept
nicely decorated, and different varie-
ties of potted plants are displayed in
front of the store.

Miss Elizabeth Huth, of Ogden, finds
business so good that she cannot take
her vacation.

The Miller Floral Co. has just com-
pleted a greenhouse, 25x325.

'Business last week showed a slight
improvement over the previous weeks
of August. The weather has been
partly cloudy and there have been sev-
eral rain storms, but the sun has shone
most radiantly during the last few
days. Funeral work has been the chief
source of business, although there has
been a call for flowers for social events
and weddings.

Flowers of all varieties have been
most plentiful. The rose cut is splen-
did. Ophelia, Sunburst, Shawyer and
Bussell are showing up well. Asters
are more than plentiful, despite the
heavy rains. Gladioli still occupy an
important place, and are used exten-
sively for funeral work. The hy-
drangeas come in for their share in
decorative work. Lilies of the valley
and American Beauties are used con-
siderably for midsummer nuptials.

Various Notes.

A prominent wedding last week was
that of Miss Mary_A. Bandall to Lieu-
tenant Charlep F. Williams, which was
held at the Bandall homestead. Beau-
tiful garden effects were obtained in
the decorations by huge standard
vases and wall pockets of hydrangeas,
gladioli and roses. The bride's bou-
quet was composed of clusters of
white orchids and lilies of the valley,
and the bridesmaids carried poke bon-
nets filled with Sunburst roses and
tied with streamers of Sunburst ribbon.
The Flick Floral Co; made the floral
arrangements.

OENESEO, ILL.

The business and property of the
Neal Floral Co. are to be sold at pub-
lic auction September 7 by the adminis-
trator of the estates of George J.
Neal and his wife, Hattie S. Neal, who
constituted the company. Both died
at about the same time last spring,
after conducting the business since
1913, when Mr. Neal, previously for
sixteen years manager of the Beck-
with Greenhouses, at Mt. Pleasant, la.,
bought out the Hill Floral Co. In or-
der to settle the estate, the adminis-
trator will sell the entire business and
property, which consists of four acres
of land, five greenhouses comprising
11,000 leet of glass, a 2-story frame
house and the fixtures and fittings of
the downtown store. The property is
subject to a mortgage for $4,100.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The quality of the stock now coming
in is above the average for this season
of the year. Boses, carnations, lilies,
valley and greens are coming from the
local growers. Outside flowers, such as
dahlias, gladioli, asters, sweet peas and
snapdragons, are coming in large quan-
tities. Business is fair. Several large
funerals last week helped to keep the
market cleaned up.

Various Notes.

Herbert Bate and his family are
spending a few weeks at their cottage
-at Portage lake. Fishing there is good.

Local growers have almost finished
.their carnation plai^ting. The plants
have made wonderful growth in the
field this season. The average quality
of the plants is ahead of other years.

Herman Knoble and Frank Friedley
made a trip to Indianapolis and Bieh-
mond last week. A. Baur and Joseph
Hill, ofiicerii of the American Carna-
tion Society, promised the society's
support for our fall show. The execu-
tive committee of the Carnation Society
will hold a meeting at Cleveland during
the time of the. show. Irwin Berter-
mann, presideni of the F. T. D., says
the organization will not only hold a
meeting during the progress of the
Cleveland show, but will put up an ex-
hibit. George and Homer Wiegand
were also seen. They say they are go-
ing to attend the show and predict that
a carload of Indianapolis florists will
be on hand when the show opens.

At Bichmond, the greenhouses of the
E. G. Hill Co. and Fred Lemon were
found in excellent shape. The chrysan-
themums of the E. G. Hill Co. are in
first-class condition. Joseph Hill
pointed out an entire house devoted to
chrysanthemums for exhibition at the

Saginaw, Mich. — A swindler worked
the bogus check game on J. B. Qoetz

$16.50. The fraud in this case varied
from the method usually employed by
this brand of swindlers. A member of
J. B. Goetz Sons received a telephone
call, and was told that he was talking
to Burton Bros., contractors. The tele-
phone informant said that it was pay-
day at the Burton office, and . that
James Connors, an employee, woulcf soon
be down at the store to make a pur-
chase, presenting his check in payment.
James Conners did appear, bought a
bouquet, tendered a check for ^ICSO
signed "Henry B. Burton," and re
ceived $12.50 in change. Two days
later the check was found to be worth-
less, and, upon investigation. Burton
Bros, turned out to be fictitious. The
swindler is described as being five feet
nine inches in height, weighing 175
pounds, and having dark hair and large
protruding eyes. He wore a blue suit
and sailor straw hat.

An Open Le

Believing that we can render material assistance in our instructive cam-
paign in the upbuilding and maintaining of soil fertility, this company is giving
time and money endeavoring to further the interest of the grower under glass.

tV^ith thai} in view, we have employed practical greenhousemen in our
research department, in our laboratory department and in the handling of our ,
correspondence pertaining to questions arising on soil requirements and plant
foods. . '*• .

In this work we of course expect the trade to take sufficient interest to co-
operate with us in our efforts and to correspond with us on matters pertaining
to their growing products so that we will be able to issue bulletins of practical
and profitable results as obtained by the uses of commercial manures.

In this way we give general publicity to what is being accomplished Hy the*'-
intelligent knowledge of the uses of commercial manures. Our main object is
to demonstrate the practicability of making up soil fertility during the growing
season through the addition of fertilizers or commercial manures as the season
progresses and thereby increase the number of flowering crops as well as the
quality of the flowers.

In connection with this work we are taking into consideration the uses of
stable manures and legumes, supplemented by ^ commercial manures that carry
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, and also the scientific uses of floricultural
lime to meet the particular needs of greenhouse soils.

This work is under the direction of tne who has had practical management
of one of the leading greenhouse establishments in the United States, and has
surrounded himself with graduates of the Floricultural course of the University
of Illinois and University of Massachusetts, also three leading growers who have
held responsible positions with large greenhouse establishments, and, who are well
versed in the practical uses of commercial luanures as practiced at this time
among^the most successful greenhouse establishments.

All in all, this company is supported by men who have had wide experience
in your problems.

Your inquiries are invited. i

GAIN IN GROWING ^
^ GODFREY CALLAS

The subject of this article is of such great interest that the poorest
treatment could scarcely drive the interest out of it. But the article has
both readableness and value, because it embodies the views of three experts
— the raiser of the Godfrey calla, the American introducer of it, and a suc-
cessful grower of it.

HE advent of the pure

T white and wonderfully
free-blooming Godfrey
calla has, to a large ex-
tent, revolutionized calla
growing in America. It is
steadily advancing in fa-
vor and bids fair to oust
the old Eichardia JEthi-
opica from the place of
honor it has held so long. And the
^Godfrey is honestly earning its reputa-
tion, by means of its genuine superior-
ity. As fast as it wins new acquaint-
ances, it converts them into friends.
In the words of a fine compliment
sometimes heard in social circles, it
bears acquaintance.

Knowledge and Near-Knowledge.

One of the plainest signs or symp-
toms of the increasing popularity of
the Godfrey calla is the number of in-
quiries that are sent to The Review,
with reference to the character and cul-
ture of the plant.

Believing that a
theme of such general
interest was worthy of
as authoritative treat-
ment as possible, Thp
Review proceeded to
get some facts from
headquarters, by writ-
ing to the originator*
of the Godfrey and
also to its American
introducer. These two
persons would neces-
sarily have some posi-
tive knowledge of the
subject, and would
not be likely to proflfer
any of that n e a r -
knowledge which is
often the most danger-
ous sort of fiction.
Misinformation, or im-
aginary knowledge, is
like a minus quan-
tity in algebra — at the
best of less value than
zero and decreasing in
value as it increases in
size. Much so-called
knowledge, like some
people's earthly
wealth, is best repre-
sented by a minus
quantity.

The originator of
the Godfrey calla is
W. J. Godfrey, of God-
frey & Sons, Exmouth,
Devonshire, England.
The American intro-

ducer is E. G. Hill, of the E. G. Hill
Co., Richmond, Ind. Both of these
firms responded promptly to the appeal
for information.

The Godfrey's Ancestry.

The reply from Godfrey & Sons
starts with the important little pre-
amble, * ' Please note that we have no
stock of the Godfrey calla to offer to
the trade," and then goes on as fol-
lows:

"The Godfrey calla was raised in
our nurseries about twenty years ago.
We had been growing the ordinary
greenhouse calla and also the variety
known as Little Gem. The flowers or
spathes of the latter were too flat in
form and almost invariably had wilted
or sleepy tips; another drawback was
its late period of flowering.

' ' We used the pollen of the two va-
rieties on each other, and from nu-
merous seedlings we made selections
for future crossing and seeding. The
spathes of many of the seedlings were

The Godfrey Calla.

of a refined type and better in form
than either of the parents. The
greater number were also of a pure,
milk white.

"Ultimately we made two selections.
One was named the Godfrey, the other
Devoniensis; the latter is after our
county, Devon. Both varieties bloom
much earlier and with much greater
freedom than the ordinary calla; in
fact, they will produce three times as
many blooms as the older variety.
The Godfrey is much taller and more
robust than Devoniensis and the flower
is larger. Both, however, are of more
compact growth than the old variety.

As Grown by the Originator.

"Some of the stocks of these varie-
ties are somewhat mixed, for many
growers, especially in Guernsey and
Jersey, raised large quantities of seed-
lings and sold them for the true va-
riety.

"In commencing the culture of
these, the best method is to pot the
tubers in June and
keep them growing all
the time. When estab-
lished, they should be
stood out in May and
partly dried off. About
midsummer they should
be turned out; the
balls should be partly
reduced and replaced
with a little fresh
mold and they should
be kept growing until
housed. When they
are potted in the au-
tumn, the result is not
so profitable; neither
will the varieties suc-
ceed so well when
planted out in the
houses."

Particular notice
should be taken of the
foregoing statement of
Godfrey & Sons in re-
gard to the relation-
ship between the God-
frey calla and the Lit-
tle Gem. Of course
the two varieties are
related, but, as in the
case of many other
near relatives, the dif-
ferences between them
are as striking and im-
portant as are the re-
semblances. Some
growers labor under
the delusion that the
Godfrey is simply

•••••■.-.;-• -fi-:"^

The Florists' Review

Sbptbmbek 2, 191S.

the old Little Gem rechristened, but
this is a vast mistake. The Qodfrey is
much superior, as can be attested by
anyone who has grown the two sorts.

The particulars supplied by the E. G.
Hill Co. are, in substance, as follows:
"The Godfrey is of the Devoniensis
type and was brought to this country
by E. G. Hill about ten years ago. It
is a beautiful improvement over the old
^thiopica, in color, texture and general
refinement. When given full swing in a
bench, it bears extra large blooms, but
it is seen at its best when grown in
pots, 6-inch to 8-inch in size, when the
blooms are of medium size and are
freely produced."

Perhaps the information already
given, though covering certain phases
of the subject in a most satisfactory
way, might be supplemented by a few
more details of a purely cultural nature.

Unreasonable Expectations.

Some there are who seem unable to
grow the Godfrey successfully, or at
least they expect too much from young
plants. Not long ago I visited a com-
mercial place where the proprietor sells,
at retail, all he can grow. When inci-
dental reference was made to callas, I
asked him whether he had tried the
Godfrey. The answer was, "Yes, and
it 's no good. ' ' He thereupon conducted

me to the end of one of his houses and
pointed out a batch of what I supposed
were callas. One plant carried a miser-
able little flower; two more had spikes
on the way. Some were dead, others
dying and all looked unhappy, and no
wonder. The grower had got in some
stock in 214-inch pots and put five each
in 10-inch pots; then he had stood them
on the floor, partly below carnation
benches. All were in a more or less
saturated condition and yet the owner
marveled that they were doing poorly!
Now, it stands to reason that we can-
not expect much the first ' year from
2^-inch or even 4-inch pot plants, no
matter how well we grow them. Some
will flower — I have even flowered them
in 214-i'ich pots — but the flowers will
be small. Do not rest these young
plants in summer. After they have
made good, strong flowering roots, they
should be rested the same as the ordi-
nary callas. While small, however,
they must not be rested, but should be
grown on continuously until they are
of flowering strength. They will be
better outdoors from June to Septem-
ber. Keep them well watered and fed.
They should be ready for a shift at
housing time.

Feeding and Temperature.

Give them a light bench, as near the
glass as possible. As the pots get filled

with roots, feed with liquid manure and
give a top-dressing of fine bone. AH
callas love bone. It is a delight to see
how the roots devour it, and the Qod-
frey is surely a greedy bone devourer.

Godfrey callas can be successfully
grown in a minimum temperature of 50
degrees. In such a temperature they
will flower from early October until the
end of April. The flowers, however, are
more valuable in midwinter and will
open more quickly if a temperature of
55 to 60 degrees at night can be given
them. A carnation temperature has
been proved ideal for calla culture.
When the higher temperature is given,
the flowering season will be shortened
about a month.

Three strong tubers in 7-inch and four
in 8-inch pots have given splendid re-
sults. Pots occasionally carry six open
flowers at one time and the flowers are
far purer in color than those of the
old calla, and just as large. The re-
mark is often made that the flowers of
the Godfrey are small. The best way
to disprove this statement is to give
the two kinds identical treatment and
compare results. My experience has
been that the Godfrey gives between
two and three times as many flowers
as the old calla, and they are just as
large on the average.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

MOBTGAGES OF RETAIL STOCKS.

According to a late decision of the
Indiana Appellate court, in the case of
Vermillion vs. National Bank of Green-
castle, 105 Northeastern Reporter 5.30,
the validity of a mortgage on the stock
and fixtures of a florist or seedsman, as
against unsecured creditors, must de-
pend upon the question whether it was
given with fraudulent intent to delay
or hinder them in the collection of their
claims, and not merely on the question
whether it has the effect of delaying or
hindering them. The decision was not
announced in a case arising in the
trade, but is applicable to all mer-
chants. It is, therefore, held that a
mortgage is good if given and received
in good faith for the sole purpose of
securing a debt due the mortgagee. The
court goes a step farther and decides
that such a mortgage may validly em-
power the mortgagor to sell his goods
in the ordinary course of business and
use part of the proceeds in replenishing
his stock, and provide that the new
goods shall be subject to the lien of
the mortgage. S.

CHOOSE YOUB COLORS.

Did you ever wonder how the secretary
of state from whom you obtained your
automobile license, hit upon the particu-
lar color scheme thereof? Or why the
gentleman who installed the electric
lighted sign over your store doorway, or
who contracted for your billboard ad-
vertising, made the recommendations
that he did as regards colors?

The knowledge of their reasons might
be of value to the window decorator or
card writer at your store. The basis
for their selections is the table below,
which indicates the comparative legi-
bility of certain coK)r combinations. It
is the result of tests made recently in
London. The precise distances men-
tioned are not so valuable as the com-
parative legibility indicated by them.
It is worth noting that the difference
between the first and last places on this
table is a matter of approximately ten
per cent.

The figures indicate the distance at
which the signs of the colors given were

WINTER WINDOW BOXES.

Now is the time to plan the filling
of winter window boxes. Last autumn
there was a wonderful increase in the
business done in this line, largely as
the result of the trade making an ef-
fort to get orders, and there is no rea-
son why the income from this source
should not be largely increased again
this season. It will be found easy to
interest people whose window boxes
have been filled with soft-wooded stock
during summer and to get an oppor-
tunity to relieve the bleakness of win-
ter by filling the boxes with evergreens.

Once the winter dress of green has
become a habit, the orders are to be
had for the asking, each autumn as
well as each spring. This is one of
the ways th0 city florist can add hand-
somely to Ms income if he will but
take hold and push.

MAKE A X!HAROE FOR IT.

I would like to have some florists*
views on the] making up of flowers for
customers who have picked them from
their own gardens or have bought them
cheap from their neighbors. We re-
fuse to makei them up and have lost
several customers, who accuse us of not
being accommpdating. What would you
do? W. W. M.— Ind.

When one, at a summer resort, has
good luck fishing, the hotel manage-
ment gladly cooks and serves the catch
— but there is no reduction in the bill
because the guest supplies a portion of
the food. A -certain grower sends his
commission-man three new-laid eggs
with each day's consignment of flow-
ers. The wholesaler eats them for his

There are, to be sure, all kinds of flo-

more valuable than the stock employed.

FOE • ' NATIONAL FLORISTS. ' '

Colored advertising posters will be
lOne of the features of the advertising
campaign which the National Floral
Corporation, of New York, proposes to
Jaunch this fall in behalf of its mem-
bers, the National Florists. The post-
ers are being furnished to every florist
who has purchased the right to be
known as the National Florist of his
community. They are to be attached
to the store windows of the florists
simultaneously with the appearance of
the magazine advertisements and other
forms of publicity. The purpose of the
advertising will be not only to per-
suade the general public to buy more
flowers, but to use flowers as gifts to
-oijt-of-town friends, and to instruct
the buyer how to mail his order and
payment to the National Florists at the
point where the flowers are to be de-
livered. The trade-mark of the organ-
ization, National Florist, upon, a shield,
■^ill be prominently displayed in all ad-
vertising, as that is the keynote of the
campaign. In order that the advertis-
ing may "hook up," the store fronts
of the National Florists will be deco-
rated with the trade-mark.

The posters are not large, being
about two feet long and five inches
high. They are printed in red and
green, on glazed paper. Catchy
phrases have been coined, such as
''Saturday Flowers Make Sunday
Gladness" and "Love Insurance: Buy
Flowers." Others announce the cur-
rent flowers on sale: "Chrysanthe-
mums Are In Season," "Fresh Violets
Just Received" and "American
Beauty Day, Extra Long Stems." All
posters feature the trade-mark, and
some of them are adorned with colored
illustrations of flowers. One poster is
embellished by an illustration of the
proverbial girl's head, and another has
a bit of country scene.

The organization expects to have all
its advertising distributed and every-

thing in readiness for the start at
Thanksgiving.

IN HONOR OF THE S. A. F.

With the 8. A. F. coming to town,
most of the first-class flower stores in
San Francisco arranged special decor-
ations, but none so elaborate as those
of the Art Floral Co., of which P. Vin-
cent Matraia is president and Julius
Eppstein secretary. The front of the
store blazed at night with the inscrip-
tion, "Welcome S. A. F.," as shown
in the accompanying illustration, and
the interior was elaborately trimmed.
The decoration was a huge success, be-
ing greatly admired both by the visitors
and by local people. The latticework
around the store was made and built
just for this convention. The four pan-

els had, as can be seen in the illustra-
tion, figures of girls carrying bouquets.
The first one represented the bride car-
rying phalsenopsis in a bride's bouquet,
the rest of the decoration around the
.panel being of white hydrangeas, mak-
ing a perfect setting for the bride. The
second panel showed the bridesmaid,
with the bridesmaid 's bouquet of Ophe-
lia roses, and around the panel roses of
the same kind carried out the idea.
The senorita, in yellow, carried a bou-
quet of Ward roses, while around the
panel were yellow chrysanthemums, and
crotons and celosia around the base
made this a most beautiful picture. The
other was called the corsage girl, car-
rying orchids, and around the panel
rubrum lilies completed the decora-
tion. The figures were painted on
heavy cardboard and cut out with a

the old Little Gem rceliristcncd, but
this is a vast mistake. The Godfrey is
mufh superior, as can he attested by
anyone \vlio lias jjrown the two sorts.

Tlie paiticuhus sujij)lied by tlie I'-. G.
Hill Co. aie, in substance, as follows:
"The Godfiey is of the Dcvoniensis
type and was brouj^ht to this country
by E. (i. Hill about ten years a^o. It
is a beautiful iinprovenient over the old
JEthio]»ica, in color, textuie and jreneral
relincment. When <;i\(>n fidl swing in a
bench, it bears extra large blooms, but
it is seen at its best when grown iu
pots, G-inch to 8inch in size, when the
blooms arc of medium size and are
freely produced."

Perliaps the information already
given, though covering certain phases
of the subject in a most satisfactory
way, might be supplemented by a few
more details of a purely cultural nature.

Unreasonable Expectations.

yome there are who seem unable to
grow the Godfrey successfully, or at
least tliey expect too nuudi from young
plants. ,\ot l«iig ago I visited a com-
mercial i)lace where the juoprietor sells,
at retail, all he can grow. When inci-
dental reference \vas made to I'allas, 1
asked him whether he had tried the
Godfrey. The answer was, "Yes, and
it's no good." He thereupon coiulucted

me to the end of one of his houses and
pointed out a batch of what I supposed
were callas. One })lant carried a miser-
abb' little tlower; two more had spikes
(u» the way. Some were dead, others
dying and all looked unhappy, and no
wonder. The grower had got in some
stock in 2'j-inch pots and put five each
in 10-inch pots; then he had stood them
on the floor, partly below carnation
l)enches. All were in a more or less
saturated condition and yet the owner
marveled that they were doing poorly!
Now, it stands to reason that we can-
not expect much the first year from
2'/2-inch or even 4-inch pot plants, no
matter how well we grow them. Some
will flower — I have e\en flowered them
in L'''_.-inch pots — but the flow-ers will
be small. Do not rest these young
plants in summer. After they have
made gooil, strong flowering roots, they
should be rested the same as the ordi-
nary callas. While small, however,
they must not be rested, but should be
grown on continuously until they are
of flowering strength. Tliey will be
better outdoors from June to Septem-
ber. Keep them well watered and fed.
They should be ready for a shift at
housing time.

Feeding and Temperature.

(iive them a light bench, as near the
glass as possible. As the pots get filled

with roots, feed with liquid manure anrl
give a top-dressing of fine bone. All
callas love bone. It is a delight to see
how the roots devour it, and the God-
frey is surely a greedy bone dcvourer.

(Jodfrey callas can be successfully
grown in a minimum temperature of 50
degrees. Jn such a temperature they
will flower from early October until the
end of April. The flowers, however, are
more valuable in midwinter and Avill
open more quickly if a temperature of
~}') to GO degrees at night can be given
them. A carnation temperature has
been i)roved ideal for calla culture.
When the higher temperature is given,
the flowering season will be shortened
about a month.

Three strong tubers in 7-inch and four
ill 8-inch pots have given splendid re-
sults. Pots occasionally carry six open
flowers at one time and the flowers arc
far ])urer in color than those of the
old calla, and just as large. The re-
mark is often made that the flowers of
the Godfrey are small. The best way
to disprove this statement is to give
the two kinds identical treatment and
compare results. My experience has
been that the Godfrey gives between
two and three times as many flowers
as the old calla, and they are just as
large on the average.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

.According^ to a late decision of the
Indiana A]iii(dlate court, in the case of

the validity of a mortgage on the stock

I)eiid upon the (piestion whether it was
given with fiauiiultMit intent to delay

knife around the lines of the figure;
then they were placed against a panel
of ferns with sixteen 8-candlepower
electric lights around the oval frame
shining on the green background, which
made a most beautiful effect and set-

ting, making the figures look almost
alive.

The store was filled with vases and
baskets of cut fiowers in great variety
and in such quantity as to remind the
eastern visitors of Chrisluias aud Easter.

Bia SHOW WITHOUT PRIZES.

Atlantic City Qladiolus Exhibition.

The gladiolus show held August 26 to
29 under the auspices of the American
Gladiolus Society in the Casino of the
Royal Palace hotel, Atlantic City, N. J.,
was unique and artistic. Without ex-
ception, commercial growers, seedsmen
and florists were the exhibitors. No
prizes were offered, and there was no
class competition whatever; the object
of the show was to bring the gladiolus
before the public and to stimulate in-
terest in it as a garden flower and as
a cut flower. Atlantic City was selected
on account of the great number of visi-
tors from everywhere in the country.

Perhaps never before have so many
of one kind of flower been placed on
view at one time. About 100,000 gla-
dioli were used in the entire exhibit.
To advertise the show, about 20,000
spikes were sent to the leading hotels
free of charge, to be used in the dining
rooms and exchanges. Part of the gate
receipts, and the proceeds of the sale
of about 10,000 spikes, were divided
among four different charitable insti-
tutions.

Iioctuxes.

Three lectures were given, the first
one being by Max Schling, of New
York, on ' ' How to Use Gladiolus Flow-
ers Artistically at Home." This talk
was entertaining and instructive, and
the speaker gave practical demonstra-
tions by making a centerpiece and a
corsage and filling two baskets with
gladioli. Mr. Schling prefaced his re-
marks with a short history of the gla-
diolus. He praised the gladiolus for
its beauty, usefulness and durability
and recommended the flower for all pur-
poses, making a strong plea for its
wider use.

Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., spoke
on "The Individuality of Different
Varieties of Gladiolus Flowers." Ex-
plaining many interesting points, the
speaker showed that close association
with the gladiolus made it possible for
one to recognize varieties long before
the flowers were visible.

Maurice Fuld, of the Knight &
Struck Co., New York, spoke to the
amateur growers on the growing of gla-
dioli, and his remarks were valuable to
all growers of these flowers.

Exhibits.

Unquestionably Max Schling 's ex-
hibit was the star attraction, occupying
the center of the hall and the center
of attention. The display was not only
artistically a treat but also a demon-
stration of the usefulness of gladioli.

A bride's shower bouquet of Rochester
White and a bridesmaid's bouquet of
Frank Pendleton demonstrated two new
uses for these flowers and caused a
sensation. Four immense baskets and
a large vase of mixed gladioli were
worthy of the praise bestowed upon
them. A table about six feet across
was made up as a large bed of America
gladioli. The finishing touch to the
exhibit was a table decoration of mont-
bretias and primulinus gladioli.

Arthur Cowee staged a handsome ex-
hibit. Most prominent for beauty and
size were War, a wonderful red; Pa-
nama, which bids fair to replace
America in pink, and Evolution, a fine
rose-pink.

The exhibit of W. Atlee Burpee &
Co., of Philadelphia, was cleverly ar-
ranged. A feature was a vase of gla-
dioli grown from seed planted in April
of this year.

The Henry F. Michell Co., Philadel-
phia, displayed hardy perennials as
prominently as gladioli, and Philip
Freud reported a number of good or-
ders booked for them.

John Lewis Childs, of Flowerfield,
N. Y., exhibited in addition to his gla-
dioli a vase of hardy amaryllis, Lycoris
squamigera, a beautiful lavender, which
was admired a great deal.

The Julius Boehrs Co., Rutherford,
>i. J., had on exnibition on the ap-
proach to the Casino soiiie fine speci-
mens of rare evergreens, in addition to

a commendable show of gladioli in the
hall.

The Edwards Floral Hall Co., Atlan-
tic City, showed some fine plants of
Lilium magnificum.

Heatherhome blue drapings added
much to the pleasing effect of the
Knight & Struck Co. booth. Many
varieties of gladioli were shown.

The palms, crotons and ferns which
adorned the stage, where an orchestra
played nightly, were placed there by
Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, as
an addition to the firm's exhibit of
gladioli.

A. E. Kunderd, of Goshen, Ind., the
originator of the ruffled gladioli, showed
photographs only, which were quite in-
teresting.

Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J.,
staged a good show of hardy fiowers
and roses, which received no little ad-
miration. H. C. H,

CANNOT DODGE DUTY.

The Board of Appraisers has over-
ruled the protest of Maltus & Ware, of
New York, in regard to the rate of duty
on imported mother flowering gladiolus
bulbs. They were assessed for duty
under paragraph 210 of the 1913 tariff
act at 50 cents per thousand. The im-
porters claimed they were free of duty
under the proviso of that paragraph
which states that all mother flowering
bulbs imported for propagation shall be
admitted free. The board in the fol-
lowing decision overruled the claim:

"The contention of the importers is
that there is no way of telling from
an inspection whether bulbs are ma-
ture mother flowering bulbs or not, and
that if they are in a condition to re-
produce, then they should be held to
be mature mother flowering bulbs, and
free. This loses sight, it seems to us,
of the provision that they must be im-
ported exclusively for propagating pur-
poses. It may well be thought that Con-
gress in passing this law felt there was
difficulty in determining this fact, hence
the implied requirement that proof
should be made that the bulbs were
imported exclusively for propagating
purposes. It was not intended, we
think, to admit all mother bulbs, in-

eluding such as were imported for the
production of flowers for nurseries and
greenhouses and flower stores, simply
on the ground that they were suffi-
ciently matured to flower. We under-
stand that the flowering and reproduc-
ing stages are contemporaneous. To
hold as the importers claim would be
practically to admit free of duty all
bulbs of this kind that would flower,
regardless of the intention of the im-
porters with reference to propagation.
We must therefore hold that the re-
quirements of the statute have not been
complied with, the plain implication of
which is that importers must prove the
bulbs are imported exclusively for prop-
agating purposes. The protest is over-
ruled." E. H. P.

THE HABDY TLOWER GABDEN.

F9C«niiials in Early September.

The summer now closing has been
specially favorable for nearly all hardy
herbaceous plants. Since early July
rainfalls have been copious and we have
not had any excessive heat waves or
discouraging droughts, as in former
years. It is true that heavy rains
damage perennials to some degree
while they are in flower, but not se-
riously, as in the case of annuals. With
the ground moist, all varieties have
made remarkable growth, and, thanks
to the moderate temperatures, the flower-
ing season of most varieties has been
considerably prolonged.

We have n^ow reached a period where
a large proportion of the plants are of
robust habit, and, unless some of these
receive some support, they will appear
ungainly. It cannot be truthfully said
that the hardy garden in late August
and early September is as attractive
as in June, as in the later period many
plants have a faded appearance, but,
where a well planned selection has been

Elanted, there will still, for some weeks,
e a splendid floral display.

A Oood Time for Beplanting.

With cooler nights and heavy dews,
we may retain for several weeks such
plants as would pass in a few days dur-
ing the heat of July and early August.
This, also, is the ideal season for trans-

planting quantities of perennial seed-
lings of whatever varieties we may
have been raising. Given clouHy
weather and moist ground, this work
can be done now expeditiously and suc-
cessfully. While the great majority
can go outdoors, any of at all doubtful
hardiness would better be wintered in
coldframes. If the ground is kept well
stirred, it is really surprising how
much growth perennials will make be-
tween now and the middle of October. ■
Not only can seedlings be transplant-
ed now, but, if time will allow it, a
good many hardy perennials can be
lifted, divided where necessary, and re-
planted in new, welV prepared ground.
A few varieties which do specially well
if moved thus early ^re German, Japa-
nese and Siberian irises, peonies, Pyr-
ethrum roseura. Lobelia cardinalis, Trol-
lius Europteus and Asiaticus, primulas,
aquilegias and heucheras. Of course,
all these plants can be moved as late
as the end of October, but they will do
vastly better if transplanted between
now and the middle of September.

The Japanese Anemones.

Prominent among the perennials now
in bloom are the Japanese anemones.
These start to flower in August and
persist until November. What beau-
tiful flowers they are! And how sur-
prising it is that we rarely see them
in a flower store! Anemone Japonica
alba, the single pure white variety, is
still, in my opinion, the most beautiful
and useful of the whole family, but
there are some newer sorts which are
splendid. A few of these are: Lord
Ardilaun, double white; Whirlwind,
white with a double row of petals;
C^ueen Charlotte, light silvery pink,
semi-double; Prince Heinrich, deep pink,
and Mont Rose, double soft rose. Any
of these anemones, once well estab-
lished, will grow four feet in height.
They should be transplanted in spring
and not in the fall. They stand severe
weather if given a good coating of
leaves as the ground freezes, but al-
ways be sure that no water can stand
where they are growing.

For those who are unable to winter
these anemones outdoors, the best plan
is to lift the roots and store them in
sand in a cool cellar, planting them
out in April. Plants which are lifted
annually will bloom later than undis-
turbed ones and will be less robust. In
propagating them, cut the roots in short
pieces, cover with sand where they can
get a moderate bottom heat and few
will fail to grow. Pot oflF, harden
gradually, and plant outdoors in April.

FOBEST SOIL N07 SUITABLE.

THE PLANTS JN THE BENCHES.

To Prevent Spot Diseases.

After your plants have been in the
benches, say about three weeks, it
would be advisable to give a thorough
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. This
is to counteract any inclination to leaf-
spot or fairy ring, which might have
been brought on during the period im-
mediately following the benching,
while you were obliged to • spray fre-
quently. The hotter this period was,
the more danger there was of these
diseases getting started. Look your
plants over carefully, and if there are
any signs of spot disease, do not stop
with one application of the Bordeaux,
but spray with it once each week for
at least the next month.

If your plants were topped properly
in the field, there will be no great hurry
about supporting them, but if they do
not stand up as they should, you will
have to put on supports at the first
opportunity. It is a great help to be
able to get rid of the weeds and to
get through with the surface scratch-
ing before the supports are put on, as
they are more or less in the way. About
a month after benching we make a
light application of slaked lime, scratch-
ing it into the soil well before water-
ing.- In fact, after scratching the lime
in, we like to let it remain about a
day in that condition, before watering.

Keeping Plants and House Clean.

From that time on, water only the
soil. Do not allow it to get excessive-
ly dry, but let it run a little on the dry
■side occasionally and then water thor-
oughly, to reach clear through. Syringe
about once each week, with all the
pressure at your command, to ward off
red spider. If you brought in any
spider from the field, it would be ad-
visable to spray with salt water a few
times, until the plants are free of them.

When you took out the old soil, you
probably gave the houses a good clean-
ing. That is as it should be, but it is
not enough. During the replanting,
weeding and working over the soil,
more or less litter is sure to be scat-
tered in the walks. Clean this all up
and pull out any grass or weeds that
may be growing along the edge of the
walks. If the walks became slimy
while you kept them flushed, throw
around some lime to sweeten things.
Remember that during the next two
months is when you will be making
your winter crop. If you are careless
during this period, the yield will sure-
ly show the effects.

Replacing Dead Plants.

Just as soon as the plants that were
potted, for replacing those that have
died out, are established, they should
be set in wherever needed. Take out
a good handful of the soil right around
the plant and sprinkle a little lime

around before setting in the new
plant. We find this is-'usually sufficient
to prevent further trouble, but, should
the second plant die, you will have
to take out the soil from a space a foot
in diameter and replace with new soil.
This is also much more easily done be-
fore the supports are put in place.

If you had plenty of good plants for
your own needs, you wiU probably have
a good number left in the field, which
were a little undersized. These will
grow into good, salable plants in a few
weeks, if properly taken care of. Keep
on cultivating them, topping thiam as
needed, just the same as you did ear-
lier. A few years ago many carnation
growers would fill their benches with
the good plants and then advertise the
leavings without giving them much at-
tention. This time has passed, as now
there are plenty of good field-grown
plants, which have been grown espe-
cially for this branch of the trade. It
might be said right here that a poorly
grown plant cannot possibly give satis-
factory results and a cheap purchase
price can never make up the loss in
blooms during the season. So, if you
have to bu^, be careful to secure plants

Would a forest soij, which is of a
clayey nature and has been covered
continually with a heavy leaf -mold, be
a good soil for greenhouse beds in
which to grow carnations for cut flow-
ers? If not, what sort of soil should
I use! ' .; '■ . : H. B.— Ind.

The soil you describe- would not be
suitable for carnations. Such forest
soil, or leaf-mold, answers well for
ferns, palms, begonias, etc., but is not
suitable for carnations, roses, chrysan-
themums or any of that class of plants.
It is now too late to begin preparing
soil that would be considered ideal, but
if you have a plot of ground that has
been under cultivation and the soil is
fairly rich, you can take a 6-inch layer
off that and use it in your carnation
benches. If you have some good de-
composed cattle or stable manure, you
could mix some of this with it before
filling the benches.

Begin this fall the preparations for
your next year's soU. Select a plot of
good, heavy sod, which can be plowed
this fall- and left to lie until spring,
after being covered with a coat of
manure. If preferred, it can be piled
up with alternate layers of manure.
This is to be chopped down and piled
^ver in the spring. A. F. J. B.

BULBS IN THE SOUTH.

The French bulbs are arriving, but
it is still too early, in the south, to
start them off; so it is in order to un-
pack the boxes and place the bulbs in
a cool, dry cellar. If any flowers of
Paper White narcissi are wanted for
Thanksgiving, the Imlbs can be boxed
about Octobe^i'tBaeed outside and cov-
ered with a few inches of sand or oth-
er loose material. They will flower in
from three to four weeks after being
housed, in It night temperature of 55
to 60 degrees. It is better to give Ro-
man hyacinths a little more time in the
outside frame, so that they may be well
rooted before being brought into the
heat.

If there is an empty bench in the
houses, that is a good place in which
to plant Paper Whites for a quick crop.
Planted on a bench right after Thanks-
giving, they will readily make flowers
for Christmas in a night temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees. When flowering
pans of these are wanted for the holi-
days, the results are better if the bulbs
are started in boxes in the usual way
outside, and potted up when they flow-
er. The bulbs flower a little irregu-
larly in the first part of the season,
so that when planted directly in the
pans they do not make as even plants
as when made up from boxes. In the
extreme southern sections the bulbs
are mostly planted out in coldframes.

A succession is kept up by planting ev-
ery week, and they are allowed to
flower under sashes. L.

BOSES IN THE SOUTH.

Notwithstanding the many vagaries
of the weather during the last month,
the young plants have made good
growth. In the more northern section
of the south, the spraying may be les-
sened. A good syringing in the morn-
ing and spraying at midday are enough
to maintain the necessary moisture in
the houses. In the extreme south more
spraying will be required for a month
yet.

A little extra stimulant may now be
given, in the form of either a light
mulch of cow manure, or a top-dress-
ing of guano at the rate of ten quarts
to 500 square feet of bench surface,
lightly scratched in.

The ventilation at both top and side
must still be kept fully open, except,
of course, during heavy storms. The
unusually cool nights in some sections
lately might induce some growers to
lower the ventilators, but it is much
better to have them fully open day and
night. A fully ventilated house is prac-
tically immune from mildew. As the
time for firing approacl^s and the tem-
perature takes a deciddl drop, the top
ventilation may be reduced, but it is
always a good plan to leave the side
ventilation on till firing is started. L.

BUD SELECTION.

Perplexing Phraseology.

The chrysanthemum is often a source
of perplexity to the beginner in flori-
culture, on account of the confusing
phraseology regarding buds. He reads
about crown and terminal buds', or else
he reads that he should take the bud
August 10, 20, or 30, as the case may
be; when the particular date comes
around and he looks for a bud, but fails
to find one, he wonders what he should
do. I shall briefly describe the differ-
ence in the buds.

Assuming that the plants have been
set out in May or early June, they will
produce a bud in July. This is known
as the first break, crown bud, or sum-
mer bud, and on practically all varie-
ties is ignored. Immediately around
this tiny bud are three or more growth
shoots, of which the grower selects the
best looking one or two, according to
the number of flowers he wishes per
plant, and carries them along.

When the plant is permitted to run
along in this manner, it will make an-
other bud from the middle to the end
of August. This also is called a crown
bud, and has the same growth shoots
surrounding it. If this bud appears
the latter part of August — the last
week, for instance — it is perfectly safe
to take it in almost any section of the
country. Expert growers in the north-
ern districts, or where the climate is
cool and moist, will often, if this bud
appears around August 1, hold it and
get wonderful flowers from it. In the
hot, dry valleys, a bud taken before
August 20 would be too early, and
would not produce a perfect flower.

Modified Crown and Terminal.

Some varieties, if the crown bud is
not retained at the end of August, will
produce another bud after September
15, which may be termed a modified
crown, since, while it has growth shoots
surrounding it as in the previous case,
the shoots only make a growth of four
or five inches and then produce the
terminal bud. This modified crown, as
it is termed, is always a perfectly safe
bud, though it will not produce flowers
of a size and depth that an earlier
crown will, provided it has not been
taken too early.

The last bud the plant produces is
called the terminal bud, because it is
the terminus or finish of growth and
no bud is produced after that. The
terminal bud is easily identified as the
central one of a cluster of smaller buds.
If the grower wishes to have flowers
as late in the season as possible, he se-
lects late varieties, such as Brock,
Chadwick or Nonin, and pinches out
the buds in succession as they appear,
until he gets the terminal bud. In
some varieties it will appear in Sep-

tember, while in others it is quite late
in October. By keeping the plants as
cool as he reasonably can, he is as-
sured of late flowers, from Thanksgiv-
ing to Christmas.

Element of Time.

Where the instructions read, "Take
the bud August 20," and there is no
bud in sight at that time, it means
the grower should take the bud that
next appears after that date. In case
the bud shows, we will say, August 15,
and the instructions from the specialist
read that a bud taken from August
20 to 25 would be safe, this bud can
be retained and carried along by per-
mitting the growth shoots to make
enough growth to produce one leaf.
This will check the sap's flowing di-
rectly into the bud, and the bud will
not starve sufficiently to cause it to
dry up. At the end of a given time
the shoots can be removed one by one,
and the bud will come along and pro-
duce a perfect flower. Where the bud
appears at the right time and looks
perfect, the shoots or buds surround-

ing it should be removed at the earliest
possible opportunity, in order to throw
all the strength of the plant into the
future flower. If the side buds or
shoots are allowed to get quite large,
because the grower is too busy with
other work to remove them, just so
much energy has been taken from the
plant and gone to waste.

Pompons and Singlea

The above remarks on buds apply to
the large-flowering varieties. Pom-
pons and singles can be left to take
care of themselves until the final dis-
budding. The plants will make one or
two breaks, or early buds, depending
somewhat on the length of time they
have been growing, and will grow on,
increasing the quantity of shoots with
each break, until they produce the final
crop of buds. These can then be
thinned out at the discretion of the
cultivator, to one or more flowers (as
in the case of the large flowers) if the
grower chooses, though in the case of
the hardy types the sprays of flowers
are more attractive than the individ-
ual blooms. Charles H. Totty.

DISEASE DUE TO HUMIDITY.

I am sending under separate cover
some geranium leaves, so that you may
examine them and tell me what is the
trouble with them. Several of my best
plants have been affected in this way
and I have been unable to do anything
to check the disease. It seems to
spread to the other plants. Please let
me know how to remedy this trouble.

M. D. P.— Ohio.

The foliage when received was so
badly decomposed that I could not tell
what the disease was. I think it prob-
able that your plants, in common with
those of many other growers, are at-
tacked with a fungoid growth due to
the excessive humidity of the present
season. This disease is common during
spells of hot, sultry weather, when
fogs or rainfalls are plentiful and the
foliage remains more or less damp,
sometimes for several successive days.
In dry weather it disappears. All you
can do is to pick off the worst affected
foliage. Sprayings with Bordeaux or
Fungme help in some measure, but
both disfigure the foliage more or less.

':*??'- * '■

Geraniums that are thinly planted or
well elevated in boxes or vases, where
the air will circulate through them
and keep the foliage dry, are seldom at-
tacked. The spot appears under glass
as well as outdoors and it is there
caused by a too stuffy, humid at-
mosphere, by keeping the plants too
damp at the roots and by excessive
syringing. Maintain a dry, buoyant
atmosphere; do not shade at all; ven-
tilate freely and let the plants dry out
well between waterings; then your
trouble will disappear. C. W.

FEENS WITH GERANIUMS.

Would Boston ferns do well in a
greenhouse in which geraniums are
kept in winter for flower beds in the
spring! What is the right tempera-
ture for geraniums and for calla lilies?
A. L. — Mo.

Boston ferns will grow well in a
geranium temperature. To have them
of a dark green color, they need some
shade. A night temperature of 45 to
50 degrees suits geraniums. Callas in
winter should have 10 degrees ntore
heat. 0. W.

Bouvardlas.

Before the arrival of eold nights,
bouvardias in the field should be lifted
and either potted or benched. Be care-
ful to lift a nice ball with each plant
and all roots possible. Keep the plants
shaded from bright sunshine for some
days and spray freely until they cease
wilting. Of course, bouvardias can be
left outdoors for some time yet in
southern sections, but in the north it
is better to lift them by the first week
in September. I have known of in-
stances where a temperature several de-
grees above freezing destroyed the
buds on B. Humboldtii, the large sweet-
scented variety, which is easily the fin-
est of all the bouvardias and which can
be grown to produce stems eighteen to
forty-eight inches long if given some
disbudding.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are moderately hardy,
but the French varieties are much more
tender than H. Otaksa, and it is good
policy to lift and pot any field-grown
stock during the first half of Septem-
ber, keeping the plants outdoors, of
course, for some time yet. There is no
immediate hurry about potting up H.
Otaksa, but if the plants are wanted
for early flowering, they will establish
themselves in the pots if taken up now.
You can probably secure an abundance
of cuttings now from old plants. Take
oflF a lot of tops now, pot singly in 2^-
inch pots, plunge in a coldframe, keep
close and shaded until rooted and keep
these potted along so as to flower in 5-
inch pots in the spring. Each of them
will produce one immense head. Carry
them over winter in a cool house and
do not let them rest at all, as in the
case of older plants.

Romans and Paper Whites.

As soon as the bulbs of Romans and
Paper Whites arrive, place a batch in
flats. The Paper Whites ckn be
bloomed much earlier than the Romans,
but there is nd great demand for either
until chrysanthemums are on the wane.
The bulbs, when placed in flats, can
be stood on a cellar floor, or, if pre-
ferred, in the open air, and given a
coating of flne coal ashes to prevent
drying out. Bulbs that are to be kept
for some time should be spread out on
shelves in a dry shed, and not left in
the cases in which they arrive.

Lilium Candldum.

Bulbs of L. candidum usually arrive
from Europe 'about the last part of Au-
fi^st. The existing condition of ocean
freightage is likely to cause consider-
able delays this year. All the really
good candidums are grown in the north
of France. They are of the true broad-
petaled type, the only sort that is
worthy of culture. Many larger bulbs
that are received from elsewhere have
thin scales. The bulbs are hollowed
toward the center. They produce nar-
row leaves, puny spikes and small, mis-
erable flowers. More of these are sold

than of the north-of -France type. The
latter has a rounder, firmer, and, for
its size, heavier bulb; the foliage, is
broader; the spikes are strong; the
flowers are . large and broad-petaled,
and there are six to ten flowers per
stalk, sometimes twelve to flfteen.

It is necessary to unpack candidums
at once when received, as they make
leaf growth early; therefore their pot-
ting cannot be delayed. They do bet-
ter if grown several bulbs together in
8-inch or 10-inch pots, rather than
grown singly in smaller pots. After
potting, stand the pots in a coldframe.
If the soil was moderately moist, give
no water until they dry out well. Pro-
tect from rains. A soaking right after
potting may ruin half your bulbs. Let
the leaf growth start, then water them
moderately. When they have plenty of
roots, stand them outdoors and leave
them there until they have had several
good freezings, before storing them in-
side or attempting to force them at all.

Achimenes.

Achimenes are not much seen nowa-
days. Though it is true that they are

not adaptable for shipping purposes
while in bloom, they are useful at this
season where flowering plants are
needed. I find the following a good trio
to grow: Longifiora major, alba
maxima and Margaretta. When they
are in pans the shoots should be staked
up if needed for room decoration, but
if they are intended for piazza or con-
servatory use, perforated pans or wire
baskets are the best receptacles for
them, allowing the plants to hang natu-
rally. Achimenes flower for several
months and, for locations somewhat
shaded, no finer flowering plants can be
had at this season.

PBOPAGATINa SALVIAS.

Please tell me whether salvias make
the best cuttings if old plants are taken
up and carried over, or whether it is
better to take cuttings this fall.

J. A. G.— Kan.

It is much easier to propagate some
cuttings and carry these over than to
bother with old plants. Plants propa-
gated from cutting^ can be depended
upon to bloom earlier than seedlings
and they make a more moderate growth
when bedded out, but I have for many
years considered seedlings far prefer-
able to cuttings. Seed is cheap and
germinates easily. Seedlings also make
rapid growth and make better plants
than stock raised from cuttings. Why
not sow seed, therefore, and give the
space salvias would take up in winter
to something of more value? C. W.

AT.KAT.T IN ROSE SOIL.

We are having ^ome trouble with al-
kali in the water supply for our rose
houses. As it is impossible to get our
supply from any other source, we
should like .to know whether there is
something we could get to neutralize the
effects of the alkali. It seems first to
discolor the foliage; then the plants
start to die. Thejr are planted in good,
heavy soil, containing plenty of nour-
ishment. They seem to do nicely at
the start, but from sixty to ninety days
after -planting they show the effects.
Any information on this subject will be
appreciated. C. D. F. G. — Tex.

While it is doubtful if there is any
feasible method of neutralizing the
alkali in the soil, it would depend upon
the nature of the alkali. As I have no
knowledge of the nature of the water
in Texas, I would suggest that the ques-

tion be referred to the department of
chemistry. State Agricultural College,
College Station, Tex. I would suggest
also, that when you are watering, only
as much water be used as is needed to
enable the plants to keep up their
growth. But, since at best some alkali
will accumulate in the soil, it will be
advisable once a month, or oftener, to
give the benches a thorough wetting
down, with the idea of dissolving and
washing out the alkali. T.

RAMBLER ROSES FOR EASTER.

I have about 1,200 Baby Ramblers
ill 6-inch pots, all full of bloom. They

ing should I give themt They are now

ROSE BUDS NOT OPENING.

A customer of ours has a fine red rose
bush, growing outside in a partly
shaded place. It has been in this place
for five or six years and has always
flowered well until this season. The
bush is covered with buds, but they
wither instead of opening. We are
mailing some of the buds under sepa-
rate cdver. The bush was fed with a
little bone meal. A dozen other bushes,
treated the same way, look well, except
that the flowers are a little short in
stem. If possible, please suggest a
remedy. F. & F. — Wis.

From the appearance of the buds I
should judge that the plant in question
had lacked moisture and plant food at
the root. If you can secure some cow
manure, give the plant a top-dressing
with it, or give it one or two soakings
of liquid cow manure. I think you
will find that this will make a decided
difference to the plant's vigor.

C. W.

BOSE AND CARNATION COMPOST.

I should like to know whether a com-
post consisting of one-fourth of well
rotted horse manure from hotbeds,
about 1 year old, and three-fourths of
good, rich soil, with one-thirtieth of
bone meal added, would make good soil
for roses in the greenhouse, if stacked
up in the fallf Would this also grow
good carnations? We would use well
rotted sod, but the sod around here
contains too much clay. Cow manure
is scarce here. A. L. — Mo.

If you cannot procure cow manure,
the next best article is well rotted
horse manure. If you could procure
this from a cellar where the manure
has not been expeCsed to the weather,
I would prefer it to the hotbed ma-
nure. Roses do well in a retentive loam,

such as you have, and I should include
some of it in your compost. Carnations
do best in soil a little lighter, but are
often grown in heavy soil. The com-
post will be all right if mixed in the
fall, but I would not add the bone until
spring. C. W.

MJCHIGANDEBS' HOUDa'y.

The annual outing of the Saginaw-

man of the entertainment committee,
had everything in the best order when
the picnickers arrived, at 9 a. m., about
eighty-five strong. The weather was
rather unsettled, but no one had a com-
plaint to make.

The morning ball game, which was
between the proprietors of Saginaw and
Bay City, was won by Saginaw by the
score of 7 to 6. Everyone was ready
at 12:30 for the chicken dinner at the
Nagele hotel. In the afternoon the
other athletic events were run off, par-
ticipated in by almost all, and enjoyed
by the whole crowd. Winners of the
various contests were as follows:

Baseball game— Young Saginaw, 9; Young Bav
City, 6.

Wheelbarrow race, lOO-yard dash— Bay City,
first; Saginaw, second.

SPANISH IBIS.

Please give me cultural directions for
Spanish iris. S. M.— Kan.

Spanish iris can be grown in flats
four to five inches deep, or planted in
benches. A flat 12x24 inches and of
suitable depth will accommodate sev-
enty-five to 100 bulbs. They should be
placed in the soil as soon as received.
They must not be buried in soil or coal
ashes like other bulbs, as they start to

grow soon after planting. They will do
well outdoors, and later in a coldframe.
Start a batch in a night temperature
of 45 to 50 degrees at night in Decem-
ber, and, other batches in succession as
needed. If they are planted in benches,
let it be in a cool house, as much heat
would spoil this iris.

For outdoor culture, plant in Novem-
ber. Never mind if they make growths
several inches long before freezing
weather; severe cold will not hurt them.
Spanish iris is quite hardy and, if left
undisturbed in good soil, will continue
to flower for several years. Good va-
rieties to grow are Louise, pale blue;
Chrysolora, yellow; British Queen and
King of the Whites, pure white.

PESTS ON ASTERS.

I have had considerable trouble of
late .with my asters, on account of the
many pests. The trouble started with
a small, white larva about one-half inch
long, which bores into the stem of the
plant at the surface of the soil, thus
bringing about a wilting condition and
finally the death of the plant. The
next bad trouble-maker was a green
worm, which eats the foliage and severs
the buds. This is from one-half to two
inches in length. Can you tell me how
to get rid of these pests?

G. W. K.— la.

The borer I am not acquainted with.
Perhaps some other Review reader may
know of it and can suggest a remedy.
For the green worm a poisonous spray
will be necessary. Arsenate of lead,
one pound to twelve and one-half gal-
lons of water, will care for it. If
you do not wish to have th^e foliage
whitened, use Paris green. One ounce
of this suffices for twelve and one-half
gallons of water. Add a little lime,
to remove any danger of burning. In
the case of arsenate of lead, which is
quite adhesive, one spraying will prob-
ably suffice. Rain washes away the
Paris green and a second application
may be needed. This will not discolor
the foliage or flowers noticeably; it
will also care for the black beetle
which often attacks the flowers.

f lease discontinue vy ad In The Reriew as I aa sold out.

Kindly aooept these few words of aoknowledgement of the
good results obtained from the expenditure of a small sum for adver-
tising in The RoTlew.

There are many growers like myself, who do not grow

plants as a speoiaJLty for the trade, but who grow for their own use

and, to be sure of having enough, usually produce some surplus.

Frequently these surplus plants find their waCy to the dump, although

some brother florist would like to buy them. In faot, I used to

dump my surplus plants the way a great many other floriste do until

I found how easily I oould sell them through OlflMsified ads in The

Review.

Very respeotfullyjrours.

DOUBLE DAISIES FOB FOBCING.

Please tell me whether there is a dou-
ble daisy that is profitable for forcing.
If so, please give its name and the de-
gree of heat for it. S. M. — Kan.

Marguerite Mrs. Sander comes the
nearest to being double of any of the
so-called daisies. A good proportion of
the white flowers come semi-double in
winter, and from April through the
summer the majority of the blooms
come quite double. A night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees in winter, with a
corresponding rise later in the season,
suits this and other marguerites.

SCBANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business has been uneven. Most days
last week were quiet ones. The heavy
rains we have been having did consid-
erable damage to outdoor crops. There
seems to be a little more funeral work,
but aside from this trade is poor.

The market is glutted with asters,
gladioli and sweet peas. The 5 and 10-
cent stores are selling bunches of fifty
Bweet peas for 10 cents and asters at
10 cents per dozen. Amateur growers
are selling the stores these flowers.
Roses are plentiful, and are selling
at from 75 cents to $2 per dozen. We
are receiving a few of the new carna-
tions, which are small.

Various Notes.

G. R. Clark reports a busy week with

funeral work. This firm executed a
large order for the funeral of the late
Mr. Dorrflinger, at White MiUe, Pa.,
the well known cut glass manufacturer.
Mr. Clark has returned after summer-
ing at Wyoming, Pa.

John P. Brovfn reports business quiet.
Miss Hattie Atkin, designer for Mr.
Brown, is spending her vacation at
Lake Ariel.

Daniel Evans, of Porter street, _ is
cutting some large asters and gladioli.

Anton Schultheis's mums look prom-
ising this year. Mr. Schultheis expects
to cut some mums in two weeks.

Miss Alice Zeigler, of A. L. Besancon
& Co., has returned from a two weeks'
vacation.

C. W. Baldwin has returned after
spending the summer at Whites Ferry.

A card from J. T. Cokely, who is
traveling through New York state, re-
ports business on the road good.

S. Edelman, of the M. Rice Co., Phil-
adelphia, has been showing a fine line
of florists' supplies at the Hotel Casey.
F. J. M.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Business last week experienced a
small improvement. A large number
of funerals caused some of the lucky
florists to work hard to secure stock for
the pieces. The demand appeared to
center on asters, gladioli and lilies.
Good asters are hard to find. The out-
door-grown asters are practically ruined
by the excessive rainfall and high
winds. Gladioli are fast disappearing.

The new crop of carnations is begin-
ning to arrive. The blooms are fair,
but the stems are short. Roses are of
medium quality.

Olub Picnic.

The Florists' and Gardeners' Asso-
ciation held its first annual picnic Au-
gust 24, at the N. C. R. Country Club
grounds. A game of baseball between
the florists and gardeners resulted in a
victory for the gardeners, by a score of
17 to 5. Races were participated in by
the young people. The picnic was a
success from start to finish.

Various Notes.

Dayton will build greenhouses for
growing plants for the public parks and
gardens. Material will be furnished by
the J. C. Moninger Co., Chicago.

W. S. Kidder is building a conser-
vatory and greenhouse for private use.
The materials were furnished by the
Lord & Burnham Co., of New York.

H. H. Ritter has returned from a
pleasure trip to Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, Cleveland and Columbus.

The Advance Floral Co. has discon-
tinued its Arcade stand and will open
a store on North Main street, about
September 10.

Arthur Schmidt, of the firm of M. D.
Schmidt & Son, has returned from a
two weeks' vacation. B. E.

NEW YOBK.

The Market.

No change yet for the better in the
New York wholesale cut flower mar-
ket. Surely, before the middle of Sep-
tember the season will open, and pros-
perity will be general. Retailers are
optimistic and enterprising. Sales of
palms and ferns have been heavy for
future delivery.

Shipments of roses are increasing
daily. One wholesaler says his receipts
last week were nearly 100,000. Another
says his average now is 30,000 a day.
There are over twenty varieties of
roses reaching the market. The mar-
ket is flooded with No. 2s. From
25 cents to 50 cents is the quotation
for these. The specials have risen
slightly. Some of the novelties sold
as high as $6 per hundred. The best
grades of American Beauties are in-
creasing. Prices are steady at last
week 's figures.

Few new carnations are arriving.
The best of these brought $1.50 per
hundred August 28. Valley, which was
scarce a week ago, is now abundant,
and prices are back again to normal.
Lilies have been firm at better prices,
some wholesalers asking $5 per hun-
dred.

There are few orchids. The best
bring 60 cents and up, Dendrobiums
can be had at 25 cents and under.
Early mums are here, but the demand
has not materialized. October is early
enough for these, especially if the flood
of asters continues. Apart from Amer-
ica, there are few gladioli selling, and
50 cents per hundred is the figure asked,
with many thousands unsalable at any
price.

Some fine asters are now offered, but
the flood of mediocre stock keeps prices
low. Dahlias are coming fast, and will
be at their best at the time of the ex-
hibition of the American Dahlia So-
ciety in September.

There is an abundance of tritomas,

Various Notes.

R. Vincent, Jr., writes from Los An-
geles of the splendid time he and other
easterners have had in California, and
reminds New Yorkers not to forget the
launching of his pet ship, the American
Dahlia Society, in September.

Next Tuesday, September 7, the mem-
bers of the New York and New Jer-
sey Association of Plant Growers will
enjoy their annual outing in a sail up
the sound and a banquet at Northport,
L. I., the boat leaving the battery at
9:30 a. m.

Much sympathy is felt for Frank
Frank, the Third avenue retailer, in the
loss of his infant daughter, and for the
sons of Lawrence Kervan, whose obitu-
ary appears on this page.

Horace E. Froment is back from his
northern trip, and is enjoying his week
ends at Asbury Park, N. J.

H. C. Riedel, of Badgley, Eiedel &
Meyer, will return next week from his
month's vacation. J. Austin Shaw.

USINQEB'S UTTERANCES.

W. Grant Kintigh, Irwin, Pa., is cut-
ting some fine asters. He has made an
attractive flower garden of his front
lawn, which draws much attention.

in real estate, but he finds time to
grow good flowers.

Miss E. Phillips, of Koerbel Bros.,
Jeannette, Pa., is spending her vaca-
tion in the east, visiting friends.

Joseph Thomas, Greensburg, Pa., is
building another cistern, which will
greatly increase his water supply.

Ed. Leizmann, Latrobe, Pa., is busy
repairing his greenhouses. He is cut-
ting some fine gladioli.

The Indiana Floral Co., Indiana, Pa.,
recently installed a new icebox, which
is in harmony with the rest of the fur-
nishings and adds greatly to the gen-
eral effect of the establishment.

Mrs. W. S. iSmathers, Indiana, after
an illness of four weeks, is convales-
cent.

Miss Margaret Schneider, Johnstown,
Pa,, is showing some fine roses and car-

use of his windows by exhibiting a
Shriners' design and a locomotive de-
sign in honor of the Shriners visiting
Johnstown last week.

T. Malbranc, Johnstown, is cutting
some fine roses and other seasonable
flowers.

William Schrader, Johnstown, has
been cutting some excellent asters.

Herman Neisner, Johnstown, though
busy with his fall planting and the re-
decorating of his store, has still plenty
of time to devote to his wonderful col-
lection of birds, which he has gathered
from all parts of the world.

W. T. U.

Cedar Rapids, la. — Although his place
of business was almost completely
burned out the other day, John E.
Lapes comes up smiling and says he
will soon have things shipshape again.
The loss was partially covered by in-
surance.

Lawrence W. Kervan.

Lawrence W. Kervan, head of the
Kervan Co., 119 West Twenty-eighth
street. New York, died at the Roose-
velt hospital August 24, following an
operation for intestinal trouble.

Mr. Kervan was born in New York
in 1843. For twenty years he followed
horticulture as a profession in Florida.
Fifteen years ago he returned to New
York, and with three sons established
the Kervan Co., dealing in greens and
other decorative material of a similar
character for florists.

He was a veteran of the Civil war,
having enlisted in the Fifth Connecti-
cut regiment in 1861. He was at Win-
chester and Cedar Mountain, and was
captured by the Confederates at the
latter place and imprisoned for forty
days at Belle Island. He was a mem-
ber of Lafayette post, G. A. R.

Mr. Kervan lived at 7 West One

Lawrence W. Kervan.

Hundred and Eighth street, and is sur-
vived by his wife and four sons. The
esteem in which he was held by the
trade was shown by the large number
of flowers at the funeral.

3. A. Smith.

C. A. Smith, formerly of Minneap-
olis, died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. P. L. Goodwin, Fargo, N. D., Tues-
day morning, August 24. Mr. Smith
had been living at his daughter's home
for about a year. He was born in Ver-
mont and came west about fifty years
ago, locating at Northfield, Minn. He
lived there from 1865 to 1875, when he
moved to Minneapolis and established
the Smith greenhouses. He prospered
in the business, enlarging it from year
to year until 1900, when he sold the
property and business to the L. S. Don-
aldson Co.

Mr. Smith was 86 years of age. His
wife died about three years ago, and
Mrs. Goodwin is the only near relative

who survives him. The funeral took
place August 26 at Minneapolis, under
the auspices of the Masonic order. In-
terment was at Lakewood cemetery.

John Both.

John Roth, a florist of Quiney, 111.,
was drowned August 15 while taking a
pleasure trip in a launch. According
to the other members of the party, Mr.
Roth had climbed upon the stern of
the boat to adjust an iron support,
when waves from a passing launch
rocked the craft, causing him to lose
his balance. As none of the occu-
pants of the launch could control the
boat wheii Mr. Roth fell off, they were
unable to render any assistance to the
drowning man. The body was recov-
ered three hours later. Mr. Roth was
about 38 years of age.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.

The IkCarket.

Business is especially dull this sum-
mer, with a heavier cut of flowers than
usual. Some have tried to remedv mat-
ters by cutting prices, while others have
wisely held up to normal prices, and
used their surplus in charity work and
in gifts to friends and good customers.
It seems to me from experience that
the latter way is the better, for it
brings customers whenever conditions
improve.

Various Notes.

Mrs. H. W. Johnson began business
in her husband's jewelry store a few
years ago by selling flowers on commis-
sion for John Karsten. Her affable
manner, coupled with natural ability
for the business, caused a rapid growth
in her trade. Later, hardy stock was
planted on the home place and proved
profitable. Last spring Mr. Johnson
purchased the property of the Higley
Floral Co., consisting of several acres
of excellent land at the foot of Look-
out mountain, on which were two good
residences, three houses, 20x160, that
had been built less than a year, and
many hotbed sashes and coldframes. The
Johnsons are contemplating opening a
first-class place for their combined busi-
nesses on the main business street of
the city.

Mrs. J. W. Crouch, whose place has
been on Missionary Ridge for the last
fifteen or twenty years, continues to do
a good business. This remarkable
woman continues to act as her own
foreman, and is training her children to
be expert in the business. While local
business is dull, she is doing a good out-
of-town business, shipping as far as
New York.

John Karsten 's business has made a
good, healthy growth in the last two
years. Things are looking well about
the greenhouses, and will be in good
condition when fall business opens.

Perhaps the most rapid growth in the
florists' business Chattanooga has seen
is that of W. F. Haeger, Five or six
years ago he started in business with
only a small counter in another store
and no glass to speak of. Now he has,
perhaps, the best retail place in the
city and one of the best ranges.

F. B.

Penbrook, Pa.— Snyder & Hass are
adding considerable glass this summer
and expect to have 14,000 feet by Oc-
tober 1. They have been in business
only two years.

EESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

There will be more geraniums propa-
gated for next season than ever before.

You can fool yourself twice as easily
as you can fool other people — into be-
lieving your stock is as good as the best,
for instance.

Detroit probably has more first-class
flower stores, according to population,
than any other city in the United States.
And thfere is no other city in which busi-
ness is better this year.

BosE growers are not worrying about
the supply of Manetti for the approach-
ing season. The reports from England
and France indicate some reduction in
production, but give assurance that there
will be enough to meet the American de-
mand, the European grafters being other-
wise engaged at the moment.

The carnation growers are having no
end of trouble this season with stem-rot,
due to weather conditions. In the cen-
tral section of the country there are re-
ports of growers who have lost from
twenty-five to fifty per cent of the stock
benched, and they are still going. For-
tunately, there ard plenty of field-grown
plants to be had.

At first it seemed that the advent of
varieties of chrysanthemum that could
easily be had in flower early had been a
distinct service to the trade, but now
there are those who suggest that the
flower is cheapened for the whole season
by an oversupply before there is any real
demand. Mums are not wanted in quan-
tity before snappy weather comes.

HONORABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Keview $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:

TWO YEARS.

Rlchter, A. 0., Philadelphia, Pa.
Brown, H. H., Birmingham, Ala.
Westergard, E., Lansdowne, Pa.
Welant & Son, Newark, O.
Yule, F. C, Lincoln, Neb.
Chillmau, A. E., Hulls Cove, Me.

The Eeview stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no- bills are run up; no duns are sent.

Bia BUSINESS.

Of course we wish the war would
end, but in this .wonderfully favored
land of neutrality even the cataclysm
that has engulfed nearly all of Europe
has not checked more than momentar-
ily the activity of business. Indeed,
the war recently has added greatly to
our commercial activity and is bring-
ing to the American people almost in-
comprehensible sums of money. For
instance:

The government reports of exports
and imports for the month of July, just
issued, are as follows:

EXPORTS.

This July $156,740,121

Last July 59.218,863

Increase $ 97,527,758

IMPORTS.

Tbls July $ 75,812,949

l.«8t July 84,561,785

Decrease $ 8,748,830

In other words, where we paid Eu-
rope $25,000,000 last July, this July
Europe paid us nearly $80,000,000, or
a difference in our favor of $105,000,-
000 in a single month. It can not but
mean rapidly increasing commercial ac-
tivity in this country.

And then, on the day after the gov-
ernment gave out the cultom house fig-
ures a big Chicago bank published its
calculations as to the crops of grain
that are to pull the money to the mid-
dle west. With the harvest of many
crops well along, the 1915 production is
figured as follows:

Crop. Estimated yield.

Wheat, bu 1,003,000,000

Corn, bu 2,983.000,000

Oats, bu 1,352,000,000

Rye. bu 45,700,000

Barley, bu 224.000,000

Hay, tons 78,900,000

Cotton, balps 10,500,000

With the largest wheat crop ever
harvested, middle-western florists can
count with practical certainty on a
good year.

SOBfE AZALEAS WILL COME.

A Chicago custom house broker and
forwarding agent has the following
from the British Foreign Office:

"I am directed by Secretary Sir E.
Grey to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 16th ultimo, and to
state in reply thereto that His Maj-
esty's Government have already au-
thorized the shipment of a considerable
quantity of plants and nursery stock
grown in Belgium to the United States.

"As regards future shipments, ar-
rangements have been made with the
Belgian government whereby these will
also be authorized, provided that satis-
factory evidence of Belgian origin is
produced, and that the money in pay-

ment therefor is first deposited by the
Belgian exporter at a bank in the
United Kingdom.

"In each case a permit to ship must
first be issued by His Majesty s con-
sular officer at the port of shipment in
Holland."

Just how much stock will be moved
under these rather oppressive regula-
tions is not yet apparent, but already
small shipments of Belgian plants are
arriving.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.

► Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U. S, Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, September 1, 1915:

For the Region of the Great
Lakes- Warmer weather Thurs-
day will be followed by some-
what lower temperatures Fri-
day and Saturday in the upper
Lake region, and' by seasonable tem-
peratures elsewhere. The weather will
be generally fair.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Higher temperatures
will be followed by a moderate fall
about Friday and by seasonable tem-
peratures thereafter. The weather will
be generally fair.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee
— Generally fair weather is indicated
during the next week, with a consider-
able rise in temperature by Thursday
and seasonable temperatures thereafter.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The Chicago market, during the last
week, has developed unmistakable
signs of summer's ending. To be sure,
business is still quiet, but it is no
longer in the comatose condition that
is the usual concomitant of the sum-
mer months. Stock is good and getting
better. The forlorn representatives ot
the outdoor flowers are all but gone,
and greenhouse stock again holds the
center of the stage.

The supply of roses is a trifle larger
than it was a week ago, but in spite
of this fact, they are clearing remark-
ably well. Prices, too, are firmer. This,
however, is easily attributable to the
improvement in quality. The cool
weather has put a stiffness in the stems
and a firmness in the fiowers that go
a long way to increase the demand.
Young Beauties are still scarce.

Carnations demand attention. Of
course, the field-grown stock has little
to commend it now, but carnations
from under glass are making their ap-
pearance on the market and, while the
stems are quite short, the flowers are
of excellent quality. It is no problem
to inove these, as they are picked up
on sight. Gladioli, though not so abun-
dant as last week, are still sufficient to
meet the demand. Mid-season asters are
plentiful, but really good ones continue
scarce and clear accordingly. Valley,
too, is scarce, but it is also poor in
quality.

The receipts of Golden Glow chrys-
anthemums are daily growing larger,
but it seems an impossibility to rush
the season with them. Most of the
wholesalers report them as extremely
difficult to move, while those who suc-
ceed in disposing of them report that
it usually is to stores that use them for
the purpose of heightening a window

display. Lilies are the worst drag on
the market. It is too bad, as there is
much stock of most excellent quality.

Greens continue to move with extreme
slowness, smilax keeping well in the
rear of the main body.

Various Notes.

After a brief but pleasant visit with
Chicago, Hinsdale and Aurora friends,
O. P. Bassett and his %ife turned their
automobile toward the west early in
the morning of August 30. They will
motor to Denver, then south to the old
Santa Fe trail, and west to the Grand
Canyon and the petrified forest of Ari-
zona. Three or four weeks will find
them in Pasadena again.

Quite the opposite of the general
verdict, Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst,
say they consider the Mrs. Ward rose
at least as profitable as any other va-
riety. They have grown two houses of
it from which they have cut steadily
for nearly three years. Recently these
houses were given their first rest, a
third house having been planted with

the variety. Many growers have
dropped Mrs. Ward as one of their least
profitable sorts.

A branch store that for many years
has been operated at 57 North Fifth
avenue, as the Briggs House Florist,
will be discontinued after August 30,
according to Demosthenes Papatony,
proprietor of the Briggs Florist, 228
West Madison street.

Because Gullett & Sons have begun
shipping roses to the A. L. Randall Co.,
Eric Johnson made a trip to Lincoln,
HI., last week to look over the stock
in the big new range. He says it never
had been his privilege to see so inter-
esting an establishment.

Believing that the time is ripe, D. P.
Roy, for years well known in the trade,
severed his connection with A. Hender-
son & Co., August 8, for the purpose of
launching into business on his own ac-
count. Mr. Roy is busily engaged this
week in making the necessary prepara-
-tions incident to this move. He states
that he will make a formal announce-
ment of his plans next week.

The business property at 1602 West
Chicago avenue, twenty-five feet west
of Ashland avenue, 25x118 feet, south
front, has been bought by Gust L.
Pappas, of the Alpha Floral Co., and
in charge of its store at Des Moines,
for an indicated consideration of $21,-
500, subject to an incumbrance of $15,-
000. The building was valued at $6,-
100 in the deal, giving the land a val-
uation of approximately $600 a front
foot, an unusually good figure for that
neighborhood.

There was a baseball game August
29 between teams representing the two
establishments of the George Wittbold
Co., resulting in a score: Edgebrook,
17; Lake View, 5. Charles Meyer, of
Lake View, was umpire.

Word was received, August 30, at the
office of the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association of the death of Mrs. Fred
Schramm, the preceding evening, at the
home of her son-in-law, Wm. Koehler,
at Des Plaines. The funeral will be
held September 2, with interment at
the Town Maine cemetery at Park

few days have been constrained to
pause for a few minutes and note the
details in a miniature Japanese land-
scape that has been worked out with
infinite care by the window trimmers
of the Fleischman Floral Co.

Two cars of French bulbs on track
August 30 started a busy week for A.
Henderson & Co., who are expecting
Dutch stock within a day or two.

That White "Wonder still is one of
the most popular varieties is the report
of Wietor Bros., who say the call for
field-grown plants of this sort has ex-
ceedQd their expectations.

An interview was had, August 26,
with the gardeners of Lake Geneva,
Wis., by A. Henderson, for the purpose
of discussing their exhibits at the grand
floral festival to be held in Chicago
next November.

One day at the San Francisco expo-
sition sufficed for Ed. Enders, right-
hand man for C. A. Samuelson, and
that one day was August 16, the day
before the S. A. F. convention, but Mr.
Enders did not wait. He spent several
days at Mr. Samuelson 's apple orchards
in Idaho and reached home last week.

After enjoying a week's visit with
her sister in Kewanee, 111., Miss A.
O'Neill, of George Eeinberg's office

Waters. His idea in making this gar-
den is to show the many uses to which
ruscus may be put.

It is reported by Erne & Klingel that
Leo Grohe has leased his father 's green-
houses at 1014 Wolfram street, thor-
oughly remodeled the place and is
ready for an active fall business. S.
Grohe has been a hard worker for years
and will take a rest.

That August business ran twenty

?er cent ahead of last year is the re-
ort of the E. C. Amling Co. Mr. Am-
ling is looking forward to a season that
will establish a new high record for
his house.

Word came August 29 from the Peter
Eeinberg establishment that Superin-
tendent Emil Reichling had returned
from San Francisco, the first of the
convention party to report in person.
He devoted just seventeen days to his
trip to the coast and was busy every
minute of his time.

The trade sympathizes with E. J.
Southerton, of Highland Park, whose
son, Ealph, aged 8 years, was run oyer
by an automobile August 29 and died
within an hour.

That carnation growers will receive
much better average prices this autumn
than last is the belief of A. T. Pyfer.

The usual display of cut flowers and

A Wire for Florists

"Young man, don't let me catch you buying Wire Designs here and there, all over
the Chicago market, in the future," said the old man, pounding the buyer's desk.

"Well, it doesn't seem to me of such great importance where I buy," argued the
buyer; "all of the houses make practically the same discount."

" Yes, but stop and think. Compare the list prices of Kennicott Bros. Company and
those of other concerns."

The buyer turned to the wholesale florists' catalogues on his desk (as you should
take time to do). After a careful perusal, he looked up at the old man and, smiling sheep-
ishly, said : " I guess you're right. Kennicott's seems to be lower in list prices than most
of the oth^r houses,"

" Moreover," said the old man, " I want to warn you against letting the price ques-
tion blind you to the fact that you are going to make up these designs into floral pieces.
To make certain that your piece will stand up, when weighed down by moss, leaves and
flowers, you must use Wire Work of good quality.

" No house has Wire Designs that can compare in quality with those manufactured
in the Kennicott shop. They are no more- in the larger pieces even less— expensive than
inferior Designs.

"I tell you. boy. let Kennicott Bros. Company know how much Wire Work we'll
need this year— they will give you the special contract price."

"Yes, sir." said the buyer, with haste.

"And, my boy, don't be afraid of finding any 'con ' in Kennicott's contracts."

The old man was right, as usual, aud the moral is this: "Try. then
buy"; don't "buy, then try."

When the stolid oxen plod around s

easily and smoothly, is dragged S

around to the direction the oxen go. S

The clumsy, heavy cart, in its 5

to repair the road. «-

For centuries they have been re- a

them on the counter when a snake
three feet long, of ugly design and

as to its species, it was identified by a
specialist as a banana snake.

The Auburn Florist, 734 West Sev-
enty-ninth street, reports heavy funeral
business. In the near future this es-
tablishment will be enlarged by a sub-
stantial addition.

J. E. Pollworth, of the Chicago Feed
& Fertilizer Co., has spent several
months perfecting a system of costs
which will be of practical use to grow-
ers. It is almost ready to go on the
press and will then be distributed to
those growers who seek to solve their
operating cost problem.

A particularly good week in funeral
work is reported by the Woodlawn
Floral Shop, 871 East Sixty-third street.

The vacating of a store in the build-
ing owned by Mrs. Anna Kindler, treas-
urer of the Raedlein Basket Co., on
Milwaukee avenue, brings an oppor-
tunity that she has long been looking
for. No sooner had the tenant moved
out than the carpenters were at work
tearing away the old front in prepara-
tion for a modern one that will add
much to the appearance of the building.

The Lake Forest county fair, which
opened August 28, called for consider-
able floral decorating. Victor Young,
manager of the Clark street store of
the Geo. Wittbold Co., went to the
north shore suburb on that day to dec-
orate Mrs. Reuben H. Donnelley 's auto-
mobile for the occasion.

IT'S THE QUALITY
OF OUR

We want to talk about. The flowers
are unusually good. Splendid buds of
a good color. We have them in all
lengths and at prices from $1.00 to
$3.00 per dozen. In lots of 50 or more,
they will be billed to you at the 100
rate.

DAHLIAS

The most popular autumn flowers. New varieties have been
added to our list, offering you the largest selection of the best
kind for cut flower purposes.

Weather conditions have been favorable for the growing of
Dahlias, and from the present indications we will have the best
flowers we have ever had in quality, quantity and size of flowers.

Let us send you a sample shipment for your inspection, so
you can see what we offer you in Dahlias.

The Market.

The week ending with the first day
of September leaves the market in bet-
ter shape than at any time during the
summer. Supply and demand are more
evenly balanced than heretofore. There
is probably an increase of a fraction,
as one of the wholesalers put it, in the
volume of business, with a smaller
supply^ of high grade flowers. The
surprisingly cool, wet weather has cut
down production so that high grade
stock is far less abundant. Valley has
been short of the demand. Good roses
have been quite scarce and asters that
are perfect have been eagerly sought.
There are lots of asters, but many
of them deserve hard names and find
correspondingly poor support, at a
nickel a bunch or thereabouts. Gla-

dioli from farther north and down east
are selling fairly well, while Easter
lilies are quite good stock and no lon-
ger receive slights. Dahlias are be-
ginning to sell, rather earlier than
usual, a sure sign that fall is near.
Greens are still overabundant.

A Late Easter.

The calendar comprising the leading
floral dates for the coming season
shows that Easter will be extremely
late and that it is preceded by an un-
usually long social season. Society's
season is reckoned from Thanksgiving

Current Events.

Everybody who went to the store of
Henry A. Dreer, Inc., to see Herbert
G. Tull, George D. Clark or Charles H.
McKubbin has been politely told that
there are no accommodations for visi-
tors upstairs, so that the name must
be sent up and the official desired must
be brought down. At least, this has
been the case in thie past. Now all
is changed; things are not as they used
to be. The acquisition of the build-
ing all 716 Chestnut street has again
borne fruit. The lower floor has been
in use for a long time, but the upper
floor has only recently been acquired

through the departure of a tenant. This
g^ves a great field for office expansion
that has been turned to excellent ac-
count. It will be hard to find more
perfect appointments than the house
of Dreer now has on the second floor
of these two buildings thrown into one
for its offices. The space, the arrange-
ments and, above all, the light, are
worthy of the highest praise. A side
entrance and private stairway admit
the visitor with passport to the second
floor without passing through the store,
where all will be found to more than
merit this eulogium. A great improve-
ment, on which the house is to be
congratulated!

Greenhouse Building.

Last week William J. Muth, the en-
terprising representative in this terri-
tory of the King Construction Co.,
wired from North Tonawanda, N. Y.,
that he had closed the Michell con-
tract for completion this fall. These
improvements will consist of the erec-
tion of three pipe-frame greenhouses,
each 22x125 feet, and one connecting

passageway greenhouse 22x143 feet.
The addition of these houses will in-
crease the glass area at Andalusia by
approximately 20,000 square feet. There
will also be erected a new fireproof
boiler house 22x43 feet. A new sys-
tem of heating will be installed
throughout the range.

H. A. Dreer, Inc., has contracted
for the material and erection of four
new greenhouses at Riverton. Three
of these houses are to be 12x100 feet,
and one house to be 22x150 feet.

Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove,
Pa., has ordered two houses, each
30x150 feet. Harry E. Cooper, West
Grove, Pa., will build a pipe-rafter
greenhouse 50x150 feet. Leonard H.
Dudman, Manoa, Pa., will build two
connected greenhouses, each 25x125
feet, and install a new boiler. Frank
Jackson, Sellersville, Pa., will add a
house 28x120 feet.

Various Notes.

Robert Pyle, president of the Conard
& Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., will ad-
dress the Florists' Club September 7,

Pine, Providence, R. I.; Edwin A.
Seidewitz, Baltimore, and A. Villas,
the Sunshine Florist, Minneapolis,

Robert A. Craig assured me the
other day that the fall plant season
has opened. The packing shed of the
Robert Craig Co. fully justified the
statement. There were cyclamens,
ferns, crotons and dracsenas, all en-
veloped in their traveling coats, ready
for the road.

J. Max Nitzschke, with J. J. Haber-
mehl's Sons at the Bellevue-Stratford,
reports a fair amount of business this
week, for the season. Mr. Nitzschke
visited F. C. W. Brown, now general
manager for the J. M. Qasser Co.,
Cleveland, and was much interested in
the amount of summer business done
there and also at leading stores in
Detroit and Toledo.

The Joseph G, Neidinger Co. is busy
with baskets and sprays.

Herbert G. TuU, treasurer of Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., is at Buck Hill Falls,

the "Keep Off the Grass" sign?

Eugene Bernheimer jocosely invites
his friends to jitney with him in his
new car.

Henry M. Weiss & Sons Co. is ship-
ping its first flowers of Alice and Mrs.

Robert Q. Shoch has returned from
three weeks in New England, where he
describes business as good for sum-
mer.

This department for the cards of
Leading Betail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling

The Market.

Business last wpek was not so good
as it should have been. The weather
was cool, but stock was plentiful, nev-
ertheless. Prices went down to rock
bottom. While there was no glut, the
stock was disposed of so cheaply that
much of it might have been thrown
away without much more loss.

The crop of roses has decreased
greatly and some difficulty was ex-
])erienced in filling all orders. Kussell
and Ophelia are scarce, and, in all
probability, will remain so for several
weeks. The stock is in fine condition,
however^ and is disposed of quickly.
Asters are plentiful and are being
cleaned up at ]>rices that are extremely
low even for this time or year. Gla-
dioli are not so i)lentiful as they have
been, but are being sold for almost
nothing. Valley is in good supply, but
there is no surplus, and the stock is
moving rea<li]y. Market conditions are
not so good as they have been, and it
probably will be several weeks before
normal conditions are rei'stablished.

Various Notes.

The Market.

Weather more like the end of Oc-
tober than August was our lot for sev-
eral days last week. The decidedly
autumn-like nip in the air is bringing
vacationists home from moun4:ain, lake
and ocean resorts. The shipping of cut
flowers to these points this year proved
a negligible quantity, the poorest in
many years. The unusually cool and
(lamp summer affected all the summer
resorts. Business continues dull; with
no signs of any early betterment.

Gladioli and asters continue to be
market leaders. It is a disastrous sea-
son for gladioli. When one sees such
choice varieties as Panama, Schwaben,
Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Myrtle, etc.,
selling at $1 per hundred, and America,
Mrs. Francis King and other standard
Aarieties virtually going a begging at
50 cents per hundred, the condition of
the gladiolus market can be imagined.
Asters are selling better than gladioli.
A few select flowers make .$2 to $3 per
hundred, but the general average re-
alize 25 cents to 75 cents. Roses, due
to the cool weather, are of good qual-
ity. Good flowers clean up nicely. A
number of small blooms sell with diffi-
culty. A few small carnations are seen,
but no one wants them. Sweet peas
are small and fewer in number. Cos-
mos does not sell well; neither do
dahlias. Valley sales arc irregular.
There are a few cattleyas, but the de-
mand is almost nil. Lilies of all kinds
are abundant and are slow to sell.
Quite a variety of other flowers ar-
rive, but the demand for them is un-
certain.

cultural hall August 28 and 29 was the
best yet seen in Boston. Competition
was unusually keen. The display of
vegetables, garden flowers and wild
flowers filled the main exhibition hall.
Exhibits, thanks to the general rain-
fall of the last two months, were of
fine quality and it was a delight to see
the keen interest taken in the exhibi-
tion not only by the children and their
parents but by large numbers of oth-
ers. The encouragement of home and
school gardens is the best way that this,
or any other horticultural society, can
interest the young generation in the
products of the soil.

The meetings of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, which are always dis-
continued in July and August, will be
resumed September 21. Dahlias and
gladioli will be made special features
at this meeting. Henry Penn and oth-
ers have been asked to give their va-
cation experiences and an interesting
meeting to start the fall campaign is
assured.

Matthew F. Buane, the well known
Waltham florist, had a narrow escape
from drowning Augu* 26. He was
one of the participants in a water car-
nival given by Waltham in honor of
the visiting governors. He was one
of many who wore suits of armor on
the Elks' float, which had a hole driven
into its bottom by striking a stump or
rock. Three men were drowned and
others rescued with difficulty. Mr.
Buane hastily discarded his armor suit
and suffered no ill effects.

Peter Hylen, of Eandolph, is cut-
ting and shipping a grand lot of gla-
dioli in all the leading sorts, and many
asters and candytufts to M. Liebman.

Sam. Relby, buyer for J. W. How-
ard, of Somerville, was busy passing
cigars at the markets August 28. It is
an 8-pound girl this time. Having a
boy and girl now, he is a proud man.

W. J. Thurston, of the Boston Flower
Exchange, has tired of automobiling
and has sold his Ford to Bert Holbrow,
of Brighton.

The Sutermeister estate, of Readville,
has large batches of Romans, Paper
Whites and French Trumpet majors in
the soil. They are disappointed with
the slow germination of California-
grown freesias as compared with home-
grown ones. A Kis^elkar has been pur-
chased for making deliveries.

Twenty-five years catering to the retail trade.

sold well during the last week; the
quality is good, but the weather soft-
ens them considerably. Valley is good,
but scarce. Orchids, too, are quite
scarce. There is an abundance of gla-
dioli on the market. While there is no
glut in asters, there are many more
than trade calls for. A few good
dahlias are seen. Sweet peas are poor
just now, being water-soaked. Easter
lilies are somewhat scarce. The sup-
ply of carnations is light. Smilax is
scarce; all otlier greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Dewey Lester, of the Kochester
Floral Co., is away on a two weeks'
vacation, visiting friends at Newark
iUUl Auburn, X. Y.

Visitors last week included a repre-
sentative of H. B. Burdick, Saginaw,
:Mich.; H. C. Xcwkirk, of the Burt
Olney greenhouses, Albion, N. Y., and
Thomas Cogger, of Melrose, Mass.

A special meeting of the Kochester
Florists' Association was held ^tonday,
August 23, at the wholesale store of
Geo. B. Hart, for the purpose of in-
forming the members what has been
done in regard to the flower show. Be-
sides the private exhibits by the local
florists, it was decided that the follow-
ing firms would be responsible for a ta-
ble decoration for two davs at a time:
Salter Bros., H. E. Wilson, ,T. B. Keller
Sons, F. Schlegel's Sons, J. Thomann
& Sons, Geo. T. Boucher and II. P.
Xeun.

W. II. Workman and his son, of Os-
wego, X. Y., made an automobile trip
to this city last week, calling on sev-
eral florists.

George T. Boucher says his business
is picking up slowly. lie had a heavy
day with funeral orders August 20.

A new store, known as the Flower
Shop, under the management of Lars
Goranson, opened August 28, on Xorth
Plymouth avenue.

The Market.

The weather last week was more Uke
fall than summer. It appeared to have
a beneficial effect on cut stock, and
consignments arrived in good condi-
tion. Funeral work was plentiful, and
helped to clean up the surplus stock.
Short-stemmed roses were abundant and
hard to move at any price. Beauties,
Iladley, Kaiserin and Russell with long
stems brought good prices. There are
few carnations of good quality being
received. Lilies and valley sell well.
Asters were abundant last week, the
light shades and purple having the call.
Prices on asters were low; extra fancy
brought $3 per hundred. There was a
reduction in the supply of gladioli and
tuberoses, which will give ])lace to
dahlias and cosmos. A few Golden Glow
and Smith's Advance chrysanthemums
are arriving. There arc plenty of greens
on the market, which meet with a
good demand. Retailers are looking
forward to the opening of schools and
Labor day, which mark the opening of
the fall season.

and their families. The picnickers were
kept busy from start to finish, and all
admitted at the close that they had had
a good time. The usual contests and
races were participated in, followed by
a fine chicken dinner. The results of
the contests were as follows:

» Men's race — Ray Pautler.
Walktntf match — Mrs. Moran.
Young ladles' race — Miss Frese.
Married ladles' race — Mrs. Ripple.
Boys' race, under 7 — Fred Heselmeyer.
Indies' ball throwing — Mrs. Blase.
Men's tug of war — Shipping force.
Boys' race, under 14 — Jeff Payne.
Cigar race — Sylvester Pautler.
Oalloo contest — Miss Mildred Sonderman.
Needle-threading race — Miss Frese.

A baseball game was played between
the salesmen and office force, which re-
sulted in a victory for the office force
by a score of 6 to 3.

Various Notes.

George S. Hampton, treasurer of the
Joseph G. Neidinger Co., of Philadel-
phia, was here last week calling on the
trade. He exhibited a large line of
florists' supplies at the Jeflferson hotel.
This is the first visit Mr. Hampton has
made to this city.

J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Illi-
nois State Florists' Association, and
Mrs. Ammann, left August 28 to at-
tend the meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the association, August 31,
at Peoria, 111. E. W. Guy, of Belleville,
111., a member of the committee, left
August 30 to attend the meeting.

Frank X. Gorly, manager of the base-
ball team of Grimm & Gorly, has his
team up at top in the Business Men's
League. Mr. Gorly is sure of display-
ing the pennant in the company's
show windows at the end of the season.

Arthur W. Schisler, of the Schisler-
Corneli Seed Co., last week purchased
a 377-acre farm near Clayton, Mo. The
amount paid was $60,000. The land
will be used by the company as a trial
ground. The tract is now under culti-
vation, with the exception of thirty
acres.

and J. H. Flackmann, representing
Schlecht's process-packed Christmas
trees, of Duluth, Minn., called on the
trade last week.

Mrs. Buechel, head of the Biessen
Floral Co., on South Broadway, says
that summer business has been good
and that the opening of the old South-
ern hotel across the street should bring
a great deal of business to them.

W. A. Kowe, of Kirkwood, returned
from a week's vacation and is now
ready for the fall season to open. He
has his place in fine shape for a big
crop of cut stock.

The establishments of the W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co. and the
"Windier Wholesale Floral Co. are un-
dergoing redecorating under the super-
vision of Paddy Patton and Albert
Gumz.

Quite a number of the county grow-
ers visited the wholesale district last
week. Among them were W. J. Pilcher,
W. J. Edwards, Philip Goebel, A. Ah-
ner, A. S. Cerny, Hugo Werner, August
Hartmann, W. A. Rowe, 0. C. May,
Wm. Winter and Gustave Vennemann.

John Connon, head of the Connon
Floral Co., Webster Groves, Mo., who
spent the summer months in Idaho, re-
turned last week.

Charles Young reports that they have
commenced building a range of green-
houses on the recently purchased land
on the Olive street road. They expect
to stock the houses before cold weather
sets in. Walter Young, in his new
Oldsmobile racer, makes frequent trips
to the place.

It is reported that after September
15 the five wholesale houses will be
open all day on Saturday, but continue
to be closed on Sunday.

Housing the carnation plants has
kept the county growers busy. Some
of the Kirkwood, Webster Groves and
Clayton growers have their mum stock
in excellent condition, and expect a
fine crop of blooms.

Souvenir postcards are being received
from St. Louis florists who are taking
trips after the close of the S. A. P.
convention.

The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
its installation meeting next week, Sep-
tember 9, on the grounds of the H. J.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Trade conditions have improved.
There is a marked change for the bet-
ter. One week of cool weather had a
good effect on business. Funeral worji
was plentiful last week. Eoses are
scarce, and the popular varieties are
poor in quality. Taft, Key, Eussell and
Maryland are the best. Killarney,
White Killarney, Ward, Milady and
Ophelia are oflf crop. Ceeile Brunner
roses are excellent, but have little de-
mand. Gladioli still are plentiful and
cheap. Asters are abundant. Auratum,
Japanese and Harrisii lilies are arriv-
ing in great quantities, and are almost
a drug on the market. Sweet peas are
a thing of the past. The few that are
arriving have been spoiled by the
heavy rains. Snapdragons, calendulas
and cosmos still are being received.
There is an abundance of Asparagus
Sprengeri and plumosus. Smilax and
hardy ferns are also plentiful.

Various Notes.

The first yellow mums of the sea-
son. Golden Glow, were shown at
Stroh's Quality Shop last week. Snap-
dragons, coreopsis, cosmos, Golden
Glow, gypsophilas and centaureas con-
tinue to arrive from Attica, N. Y.

The Lenox Flower Shop had an ar-
tistic display of gladioli in front of its
store last week. The gladioli were ar-
ranged in window boxes and hanging
baskets, and attracted much attention.

S. A. Anderson showed some unusual
tritomas, which came from Ohio. They
were massed in great quantities in the
display window and attracted much no-
tice. Tritoma is rarely seen here, and
Mr. Anderson had many inquiries from
patrons as to its name.

Miss Edna Goehring has returned
from Cleveland and Akron, where she
spent a part of her vacation.

Barney Meyers, of Lancaster, is
growing some excellent montbretias,
cosmos and gladioli.

Harold Brookins is doing good work
in his first attempt at rose growing.
For the last two months he has cut ex-
cellent Maryland and Killarney. He
is cutting fine gladioli.

Wm. A. Adams and family are spend-
ing their vacation at Wilson, N. Y.

Mr. and Mrs. William Palmer will
remain at their cottage at Lake of

expect to return about October 1. Trade
at the store of W. J. Palmer & Son
last week was brisk, keeping the en-
tire force busy.

The Lord & Burnham Co. has been
awarded the contract for the erection
of a greenhouse, 70x150, for Jerry
Brookins, of Orchard Park. The house
is to be used exclusively for sweet pea
culture.

E. A. Fetters, of Detroit, Mich.,
passed through this city last week on
an auto tour.

Frank J, Schoen, of the James Eadie
Co., Cleveland, was a visitor last week.

F. J. Baum, of Kingsley, is putting
in a new McCray refrigerator, which
is finished in white enamel.

Miss Minnie Wilson was tendered a
surprise party on her birthday, August
26, by the store force of S. A. Ander-
son. They presented to her a string
of pearl beads, and many other gifts
were given by her friends.

Several good-sized weddings have
been booked for September. As the
number of debutantes for the season
is small, there will be little work com-
ing from that source. E. C. A.

The Market.

A number of retail florists have re-
ported that business was fair for Au-
gust, which is usually the slowest
month of the year. There continues to
be some funeral work to keep the stores
occupied, but the volume is not large.
Growers are not making large sales.
They are exceedingly busy getting
plants in good shape for the coming
season. Chrysanthemum and carnation
plants are growing nicely, and give
promise of a large yield. Oth^r flowers
are doing as well.

The flood of gladioli and asters con-
tinues, and there are comparatively
few other flowers. Cut hydrangea
blooms are received in large numbers.
Roses are of fairly good quality for
this time of the year. There were a

few Easter lilies on the market last
week. The prices of all flowers were
exceptionally low.

Various Notes.

H. A. Strobell reports that he has
had considerable funeral work of late.
August business was fine for a sum-
mer month. July was a little below
July of last year, but August business
was enough larger to make the general
average for the summer above that of
last year.

Fred P. Wolfinger and wife are on a
trip to California, where they are visit-
ing the Panama-Pacific exposition.

J. F. Noll & Co. had an attractive
window display last week. The win-
dow was dressed with garden tools,
bags of seeds and numerous vases filled
with asters. Each variety of asters
on display was labeled so that the
passers-by could learn the names. In
the background was an immense bou-
quet of lilies. B. B. M.

—

S. F. Leonard, Chicago, was bom Sep-
tember 4, 1852.

Joe L, Schilder, of Schilder Bros.,
Ohillicothe, O., is a Chicago visitor • this
week.

The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., St.
Louis, has invested $60,000 in a farm of
377 acres at Clayton, Mo., for seed grow-
ing and trial grounds.

Arthur L. Deal, son of the managing
director of W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston,
England, is here for his annual selling
trip among seedsmen.

The Hoermann Seed Store, of Terre
Haute, Ind., has been incorporated by
Frank Hoermann, L. J. Quinian and
M. E. Hoermann. The capitalization is
$5,000.

Frost has done considerable damage to
the seed crops in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, but the extent of loss will not be ap-
parent for some time. Beans are thought
to be rather hard hit.

The Harrisii crop has turned out even
shorter than anyone predicted, but the
Harrisii is not the essential item it was
before Japanese bulbs were stored from
one season to the next.

An extended tour of the western seed
districts and the Pacific coast country is
being made by A. H. Smith, treasurer of
the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, and his
wife. They will return about Septem-
ber 18. ^"---^

The Formosa lily bulbs are about all
in and most of them have been delivered
on advance orders. The crop this year
was smaller than usual and there appears
to be nothing that can develop into a
surplus.

Some of the Holland houses that had
sold French bulbs in America have found
difficulty in getting space on the steam-
ers and have notified customers their
shipments could not be floated before
September 1.

K. Van Bouroondien & Sons, Hille-
gom, Holland, have established a perma-
nent American headquarters at 147 Mag-
nolia avenue, Arlington, N. J., with C. J.
Van Bourgondien, a member of the firm,
as resident manager.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
supplementing previous reports, state that
the only extreme shortages among their
new sweet peas are on Fordhook Pink
and Fordhook Rose; their new early win-
ter-flowering varieties of sweet peas at
Floradale have yielded fair to good
crops, including several of their choicest
novelties.

CoNsroERABLE interest is taken in this
season's crop of alfalfa seed in Califor-
nia. According to a report from Susan-
ville, Cal., C. A. Patrick, of the Rudy-
Patrick Seed Co., Kansas City, has con-
tracted for about 250,000 pounds in that
district. It is reported that a larger
crop than that of last year is expected.

A MOST enjoyable motor tour of the
northern Michigan seed districts is being
made by W. W. Barnard, president of the
W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. Arnold
Ringier, secretary, will take his outing at

' BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Sante Cruz, Caa.— The Santa Cruz
Bulb & Plant Co., which of late has
been a heavy advertiser in certain
trustful trade papers and, indeed, was
represented in two of them in their
issues of August 28, is in the hands of
its creditors. Attachment against the
company, which originally was con-
ducted by Alfred Mitting but more re-
cently by his son, Ernest Deroo Mit-
ting, amounts to about $1,000, but re-
tarns are said to be not yet all in.
The attaching creditors are bulb grow-
ers in the vicinity of Santa Cruz, who
had turned their freesia and calla bulbs
over to the Mittings to be sold. Some
of these growers had received small
payments on account, but many are said
to have received nothing and prospects
for realizing on any claims are thought
to be poor, as there are practically no
assets and bankruptcy proceedings are
said to be in contemplation. Attach-
ment proceedings were begun about Au-
gust 21 and both Mittings, father and
son, are said soon to have left Santa
Cruz and their present whereabouts is
said to be unknown to their creditors.
Alfred Mitting, the father, will be re-
called as once before having been en-
gaged in the bulb business at Santa
Cruz and subsequently in the nursery
'business at Holland, Mich., where he
traded as the Berrydale Experiment
Gardens.

Bia SHIPMENT OF FRENCH BULBS.

Another large shipment of French
t)ulbs arrived at New York August 19,
■on the steamer Venezelos, from Mar-
seilles, bringing the total number of
-cases received to date to 11,341. This
■was the second large shipment of the
1915 crop, the first, of 2,795 cases, hav-
ing arrived August 7. It is a certainty
that there will be no scarcity of French
bulbs in this country this year. An-
other shipment similar in size to the

GET AWAY

I-wT'

Better get away on that vacation. Drop matters and £to at once. Just one thing to
do before leaving- sow a flat or two of my original Silver Pink Snaps, so that when the
early mums are otf you will be ready with a filler— a filler that will fill your space and
pocket, too.

There is no snapdragon like our original Silver Pink Seedlings. From the day they
peep through the soil until ihe last horn blows, they exciie wonder and pleasure, by
constantly pushing and striving to outgrow everything in sight. One enthusiastic
admirer says, "They have one on chick weed for growth." This wonderful growth means
productiveness, which in turn m^ns profit.

Do 'em today— decide on a vacation and sow seed of our Silver Pink Snapdragon.
New crop of same, $1.00 per okt.; 3 for $2.60; 7 for $5.00. Fancy, fresh seed of Nelrose,
Buxton, Garnet, Yellow, White and Mixed, 36c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

Plants all sold until Sept. 20, when we can again supply your every need. This has
been a record year for our Silver Pink. Make up your seed order today. J<ree cultural
directions. All orders cash or C. 0. D.

NOTE: All of our seeds are specially grown, and are scientificaHy cared^^
saved from plants of the original stock still in our possession, propagated by cuttings
Beware of seeds offered from seedling plants. They will be a spurious lot and bring'^
sorrow to the sower.

Remember, our one business is growing snapdragons.

Woman versus
Mystery

(Continued from last week.)

I finally drew strong on my imag-
ination and forced myself to believe
I was more than anxious to be the
Queen at this social function; however,
I have often felt more comfortable at
a wake.

The real cause of this discomfort was
due to the plain, simple fact that I was
trying to be sociable and was working
against the grain, and making a baa
job of the deal, as I was in the mood
to read and talk to myself and no one
else at the time.

Although I sallied forth to meet the
Hero of the Fracas, and I was as stiff
looking as a young Army Lieutenant
on his first field performance — well, I
marched along the corridors as far as
the balcony overlookiiig the lobby, and
suddenly beheld the "Big Show" that
I was to play the role of leading lady
with. I balked? I certainly did.
Bight then and there I decided he is
a wise man who understands himself,
as I was a complete and shrouded mys-
tery to myself, lily temperature rose
to nine thousand degrees, and then
froze; I recovered from the physical
shock, and now I know you can drive
a horse to water, but you cap't make
him drink. Says I to myself, Nw;,
nothing doing, I didn 't want to, and

now I won 't, and at this point

GET AWAY

Helter nvl uway on that vac-ation. Drop matters and gq at once. Just one thing to
do before leaving- sow a flat or two of my original Silver Pink Snaps', so that when the
early mums are otV you will be ready with a filler— a filler that will fill ^your spaue and
pocket, too.

There is no snapdragon like our original Silver Pink Seedlings.' From the day they
peep through the soil until ihe last horn blows, they e.xciie wonder and pleasure, by
constantly pushing and striving to outgrow everytliing in sight. One enthusiastic
adtnirer says. "They have one on- chick weed for growth." This wonderful growth means
productiveness, which in turn means profit, ^

Do 'em today -decide on a vacation and sow seed of our Silver Pink Snapdragon,
New crop of same, $1,00 per okt.: :i for Sj.SO; 7 for $.').()0, Fancy, fresh seed of Nelrose,
Buxton, Garnet, Yellow, White and Mixed, '6bv per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

Plants all sold until Sept. 20. when we can again supply your every need. This has
been a recoi'd year for our Silver Pink. Make up your seed order today. J<ree cultural
directions. All orders cash or C. 0. D.

NOTK: All of our seeds are specially grown, and are scientificaHy cared for, being
saved from plants of the original stock still in our possession, propagated by cuttings.
Beware of seeds offered from seedling plants. They wiil be a spurious lot and bring
sorrow to the sower.

Remember, our one business is growing snapdragons.

LOS ANQELES.

Th,e Market.

There has been little doing in a re-
tail way during the last week. Except
for funeral work, there has been little
call for flowers. But all have learned
to expect such a condition at this time
of year, when the holiday feeling is
abroad and all outdoors calls loudly.
Outside shipping, however, keeps up
remarkably well to all points except
the hot valleys and desert sections,
where it has fallen off somewhat. In-
door roses are of poor quality as yet,
owing to the warm weather. Carna-
tions are only fair, and the best thing
in the way of cheap flowers is the
arter, which has kept up well. Chrys-
anthemums are in, but there is little
call for them. Dahlias are useful for
making a display, but do not sell well.
Greens are plentiful and good. Pot
ferns are slow in selling and there is
an oversupply.

Convention Visitors.

To give a list of convention visitors
who were here last week would prac-
tically be to repeat the names of those
who were at San Francisco, for almost
everyone who was at the Bay City high
jinks came on to sample Los Angeles
hospitality. There were naturally a
great many reunions of old friends, as
well as much making of new ones, and
there were great talks over old times
and those departed. But the biggest
reunion of all was the auto ride and
barbecue put up by the 1915 commit-
tee, under the management of Fred
Howard, Fred Hills, Henry W. Krucke-
berg and others of our local boosters
and workers. While the program
looked formidable, it was carried out
almost in its entirety, and schedule
time was as closely adhered to as pos-
sible.

The meeting place was at Howard
& Smith 's, at Ninth and Olive streets,
at 9 a. m., and the crowd was a revela-
tion. The number was judged to be
about 250, but it would have puzzled a
sheep man to sort them into fours and
count them.

An early start was arranged and all
got away to South park, where the
beautiful plantings were much ad-
mired. Superintendent Shearer, it
should be noted, was among the party
and his remarks upon the various works
carried out in the parks were interest-
ing to us all. Exposition parks were
next visited and then the interesting
Doheney gardens and greenhouses, at
Chester place. A start was made then
for the Western avenue entrance to
GriflSth park, and the superb drive over
Mount Hollywood was enjoyed to the
full by all. The grades here have been
skillfully made, the roads have been
carefully banked and a good surface
was found. Mr. Shearer is surely to
be congratulated on a fine piece of en-
gineering work. Unfortunately, the day
was hazy and the magnificent views
usually to be had from here had largely
to be taken for granted.

The north end picnic grounds were
reached at 32, noon, and here the bar-
becue was served and evervbodv did

perfect justice to it. Mayor Sebastian
and some of the ladies of the party
were delayed on the road by engine
trouble, but they arrived in plenty of
time for the moving picture men. The'
afternoon was spent at the Busch and
Huntington gardens; refreshments were
again served at the latter and the day
was finished with a drive over the
grades at beautiful Elysian park. All,
I believe, enjoyed themselves to the
full and it was a most enjoyable day
throughout.

Various Notes.

Friends of Cecil Hart, the young man
who was sent out by the park depart-
ment to look for orchids and rare
plants in South America, have been a
good deal worried on account of not
having heard from him, and now the
news comes that he is down with fever
and his recovery is doubtful.

Calling at Hills' Nursery the other
day, I was surprised to see how the
outside stock had improved. It seems
only an extremely short time ago that
Mr. Hills made the last addition to his
nursery, and this consisted of bare,
unpromising looking hillside, but it is
now covered with an elegant growth of
ornamental trees and shrubs, in the
finest of health and condition. In the
greenhouses everything is in first-class
order and there is a splendid stock of
ferns, which are Mr. Hills' specialty.
I noted particularly some exitra heavy
8-inch Roosevelt, which were above the
average in quality. This fern is becom-
ing a little more popular among grow-
ers. Whitmani is here in all sizes
and Mr. Hills seems to have the knack
of so handling his stock as to have
always plenty of vigorous young speci-
mens to take the place of those sold.
Hence the houses always look well fur-

nished. The adiantums, growing be-
low the other ferns, have been recejitly
cut back and have started into splen-
did growth again. The whole place is
in perfect order and is a great credit to
Mr. Hills' cultural knowledge and hard
work.

Mr. and Mrs. Alois Frey, of Crown
Point, Ind., arrived here August 25,
about the same time as a large consign-
ment of their colored freesia bulbs,
which Mr. Frey intends to plant here
this season, to see how they do in
sunny California,

C. B. Knickman, representing Mc-
Hutchison & Co., New York, is in town
calling on the trade.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The local trade continues to be as
busy as ever, though the shipping busi-
ness still is a little quiet. There has
been a good deal of funeral work.
The exposition management is enter-
taining more liberally than before, and
many of the functions require large
decorations. While flowers in general
probably are more plentiful in San
Francisco than ever before, the daily
offerings clean up well at fair prices.
The small outdoor stock is holding up
well. A good manv forget-me-nots are
appearing, and new pink and red
Shasta daisies are shown. Sweet peas
still hang on. Carnations are scarce
and poor, specials selling at 60 cents
wholesale. Amaryllis is pleptiful and
cheap. Supplies of gladioli are limited
and of only fair quality. Good dahlias
are shown, and they are holding their
popularity well. Zinnias sell readily
when taiade up in artistic baskets, but

otherwise move rather slowly. Asters
are fully holding their own. Some
really good mums are to be had, con-
sisting mostly of Golden Glow and Oc-
tober Frost. There are also Monrovias,
a few nice Crockers and an occasional
bunch of rose-pink and white pompons,
which promise to be popular as usual.
The general run of prices is nothing
extra. Lilium rubrum still is seen
everywhere, and finds a good demand.
There are not many Lilium tigrinum
or auratum, and supplies of giganteum
are limited. A good many short roses
are shipped in, but really good stock is
scarce and cleans up quickly. A few
good Beauties are seen. Ophelia is im-
mensely popular; Killarney Brilliant
sells well in some quarters and Had-
ley is holding its own. A few forced
violets are appearing, but nothing fit
to ship will appear for several weeks.
Cyclamen blooms are fine and quite
popular. There has been a good de-
mand for valley, but there is no short-
age. The quality is good. The few
orchids that appear are fine, and clean
up quickly. Gardenias are well taken.

Convention Echoes.

The reception of the Ladies ' S. A. F.,
in the California building at the exposi-
tion, on Florists' day, August 20, was,
for the ladies at least, one of the most
enjoyable functions of the convention
period. Including the local and visit-
ing ladies, there were over 100 present.
Talks were given by all the visiting
ladies and several of those residing
near San Francisco. A farewell ad-
dress was given by Walter Hofinghoff,
chairman of the local committee on
ladies ' entertainment.

A considerable number of the visit-
ing florists were entertained by the Los
Angeles trade last week. Some of them
are expected back in San Francisco
before they start east.

Messages have been received from
some of the party who went to Eureka
August 21 with Charles Willis Ward,
indicating that he is giving them royal
entertainment. In the party are Daniel
MacRorie, Mr. Shearer, superintendent
of parks at Los Angeles; Professor Ste-
vens, of the University of California;
Frank Pelicano, Peter Rock, Mr. Urqu-
hart, of the Panama-Pacific exposition;
John Morley and H. Plath. The party
reached Eureka August 21. They vis-
ited the Cottage Gardens Nursery the
following day, and from there went to
the nursery farm at Carlotta. In the
afternoon they inspected the big mills
of the Pacific Lumber Co., at Scotia,
where the giant redwoods are cut into
lumber. Sunday evening, August 22,
a reception was given at the hotel in
Eureka, and the next morning the party
set out for the famous Ah Pah ranch,
traversing the densest and finest for-
ests of giant redwoods.

Marin county, where he was preparing
land for a planting.

The MacBorie-McLaren Co. has a
large lot of cyclamens, which are com-
ing in earlier than ever before. They
have been flowering nicely for a week
or more, giving a good cut of blooms,
find now many of the plants are being
sold.

A. O. Stein is showing many new
baskets decorated in his own establish-
ment. Mr. Stein had a busy week with
■decorations. He provided for two large
weddings, a luncheon and dinner dance.

Eric James, of Oakland, shipped in
flome exceptionally fine cockscomb last
month. It was handled by many shops,
and proved to be quite popular.

Charles Navlet's stand in the Em-
porium department store is starting the
t)ulb season early, because of the oppor-
tunities to sell to the tourists. Atten-
tion was directed to the department by
a window display, and large orders are
being left by visitors from all parts
of the country. Most of the stock is
grown in California, and is unusually
fine. Mr. Navlet is getting out his fall
catalogue. S. H. G.

The Market.

Business last week was a little above
the average for the season, due to a
good demand for funeral work. Good
asters, gladioli, sweet peas and auratum
and rubrum lilies are in oversupply.
Carnations cut from newly benched
plants have appeared. There are
plenty of good roses. The new dahlia,
M:innie Burgle, adds color to several
window displays. A second crop of
blooms from the delphiniums is com-
ing in. Cattleya Gaskelliana is the
only variety of orchid producing blooms
and the supply is not equal to the de-
mand.

Various Notes.

C. C. Ruenitz devotes his entire
range to growing pot plants. At his
store on upper Washington street, he
keeps a display of them that includes
a 10-year-old cactus, Cephalocereus
eenilis.

Fred Wiedemann has gone to south-
orn Oregon on a hunting trip.

J. I. Bobinson is bringing in carna-
tions cut from new plants.

Niklas & Son say they have been
cutting Golden Glow mums for over
three weeks.

Officials of the park bureau are mak-
ing a strong effort to destroy the elm
beetles which have appeared in several
sections of the city.

Meadowbrook Farm, located on the
electric line five miles east of the city
Hmits, "was bought fire years ago by
the Mountain View Floral Co. It
now is all under cultivation and is
used by the company as a nursery. The
land slopes gently to the south. The
floil is loose, with a little gravel, and
is easily cultivated. Its fertility is
evident in the vigorous appearance of
the stock. The company grows im-
ported and native shrubbery and orna-
mentals, a variety of perennials and
trees. The principal product is rose
plants, of which about 250 varieties
are grown. To supply the demand for

The Market.

; The weather has been extremely dry
and warm, but perennials are holding
out exceedingly well. Gladioli are a
glut on the market. Sweet peas and as-
ters are plentiful. There are no green-,
house-grown flowers being offered, ex-
cept a few pink roses and a few car-
ried-over carnations, but as there has
not been a large demand for any of
them they are not greatly missed. The
newly planted carnations appear to be i
in splendid shape, but there will be no
cut for at least another six weeks. The
growers are not represented in the
downtown stores, as the other flowers
are principally grown by amateurs.

Business last week was not up to
the standard, but the near future prob-
ably will be more prosperous, as more
decorations have been demanded. Jhere
is a good demand for orchids, but the
quantity offered is small.

Various Notes.

Mrs. L. W. McCoy has* her green-
houses planted and stocked for the fall
season. Gene Lambert, at the store, is
reporting good business.

Rosaia Bros, had a decoration for the
bi.nkers' convention.

J. P. Burns, manager of the Holly-
wood Gardens, is cutting good orchids.
He has a splendid house of ferns.

Thomas Wiley has returned from his
trip to San Francisco, where he at-
tended the Scotch Clans' meeting. He
had a pleasant trip, but was so greatly
engaged with his party that he did not
have time to see much of the florists'
convention.

Dahlia Show.

The fifth annual dahlia show of the
Tacoma Dahlia Society, held August
20 and 21, was a marked success. None
of the previous shows could compare,
in either quality or quantity, with the
dahlias of this year's show. The large
attendance was unprecedented. Thou-
sands of spectators flocked to the roof
garden of the Rhodes Bros.' building,
where the exhibits were displayed. Al-
though the weather was excessively
hot, the dahlias, sweet peas, asters and
other flowers withstood the heat admir-
ably, the blooms remaining fresh until
the close.

The judges chosen were Mrs. H. W.
Lindhart, Alfred Jacobson, J. W. Mil-
ton, George Seaverns, F. C. Smith and
L. Graham.

A new organization, known as the
Au>ericaB Association of Apple Grow-
tirs, was formed last week at the Plant-
firs ' hotel, St. Louis. The new forma-
tion takes the place of the old organ-
ization known as the Apple Growers'

Executive committee: H. M. Dunlap,
bf Savoy, 111., chairman; Thos. ^regger,
O^Cli&mpaign, 111.; Professor W. A.
Kuth, of Urbana, 111.; H. W.-Funk, of
Normal, 111., and H. C. Irish and T. C.
AVilson, of St. Louis, Mo. The next
meeting will be held at St. Louis next
March, to which members from every
state east of the Rocky mountains and
north of Texas are invited. Plans will
then be made to enlarge the association.
It is intended that a general convention
be held in August. H. C. Irish^ of St.

CAUFOBNIA OFFICERS.

One of those slips that occur in the
transmission of news by telegraph was
responsible for the statement in The
Review of August 19 that Charles
Howard, of Hemet, was honored' with
the presidency of the California As-
sociation of Nurserymen, whereas the
man elected to that office was John
W. Armstrong, of; Ontario. Charles
Howard was first of the vice-presidents
elected.

CONNECnOUT SX7MMEB OUTING.

An automobile trip to Lake Com-
pounce and a day of much fun and a
little business composed the annual
summer outing of the Connecticut
Nurserymen 's Association.

The feature of the day was a base-
ball game, between W. E. Campbell's
"Forsythias" and C. R. Burr's "Bar-
berries," which the former won by a
large margin. The game was notable
for Burr's coaching. Hunt's batting,
Hoyt's catching, Campbell's pitching
and Wilson's base-stealing. Secretary
Frank L. Thomas umpired.

After dinner, at the Casino, the party
visited the points of scenic interest
about the lake. President W. E. Camp-
bell presided over a short business ses-
sion, during which the Brainard Nurs-
ery & Seed Co., of Thompsonville, was
elected to membership.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade is quiet here, with a good
quantity of stock coming in. Some
excellent Beauties are to be seen, but
the demand for them is light. Other
roses are fine, including Kaiserin,
Ophelia, Bulgarie, Richmond, etc., and
the supply is fully equal to the de-
mand. Carnations look promising and
it will not be long until we shall be re-
ceiving some fair cuts from the early
planting. Asters are plentiful, though
tiiost of the florists' crops are failures
and we are depending mostly on the
folks out in the country, a number of
whom are sending in fine stock. If all
the asters that were planted had done
well, this community would have been
swamped with them. Gladioli are com-
ing in rather slowly, but are suflicient
to meet all demands. Valley is not
plentiful, but the demand is not heavy.
Of lilies there are plenty to go the
rounds. The state fair this week is
creating a good demand for decorative
plants for various exhibits.

Vajlous Notes.

Vacation times are about' 'over and
nearly all the members of the craft are
back on the job again, ready for the
expected prosperity.

Sherman Stephens was in a serious
condition on Saturday, August 21, and
his family were called to the hospital,
as they were afraid he would not be
able to pull through, but he is reported
to be somewhat improved and his
friends are hopeful. J* M.

GRAND feAPIDS, MICH.

The market is "well supplied with

fladioli and asters, the latter being of
ne quality, which makes them sell
readily.

The lowest temperature for August
in nineteen years was recorded Au-
gust 26. The temperature dropped to
42 degrees.

The funeral services of Mrs. Chas.
Kelsey, a Grand Rapids woman promi-
nent in all musical organizations of the
country, was held August 26. This fu-
neral kept the florists busy for a couple
of days.

Henry Smith says carnation plants
are all in and his force is getting ready
for violets.

Eli Cross is displaying roses that are
fine for the season.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has
some fine chrysanthemums just about
ready to cut.

E. H. Murphey's Sons are adding to
their ext«n8ive rose range eight houses,

The Urbana Floral Co., formerly the

rising florists of the East Lawn Gar-

S. W. Carey, the North End Florist,

The heavy rains of July and August
have been disastrous to the geranium

The East Lawn Garden^ are making

and a front entrance, which greatly
improve this establishment. J, G.
Botkin established his place in 1900
with only a few hotbed sashes. The out-
look is encouraging, since there are five
sons and two daughters, who assist Mr.
and Mrs. Botkin. Mr. Botkin grows a
general line of bedding plants and cut
flowers. He has made a specialty of
growing asters for C. E. Critchell, of
Cincinnati, since 1905, usually planting
from 35,000 to 50,000. The outdoor
gardens are equipped with the Skinner
irrigation system. J. G. B.

TgEREisNOSCARCin
of PALMS at DREER'S

j^lUR SUPPLY of Palms, and particularly that of Kentias,
mj is not at all affected by the war tie-up of Belgian stocks.
We are carrying the usual large quantities and full line
of sizes of the well known Dreer quality, but as the general
supply of this class of stock is much smaller than usual, due
to this blockade, there is certain to be a scarcity as the season
advances. The demand during August has been heavier than
hve have ever experienced during that month, and we are posi-
tive that there will not be sufficient good stock to last through-
out the season. We therefore recommend that you cover
your requirements early. If you are not ready to accept im-
mediate delivery, let us book your order, and we will set aside
and reserve your stock, making delivery at any time between
now and October 15. 'I I

"A Bird in the Hand"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangea in America is worth Beveral Acaleaa
in Belir^um right now. Of course, the Asaleaa may get out of Belgium; we don't
know; conditions may ehang^e; certainly it is not possible to get anything out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won*t.
Are you going to take that chance? Can you afford to depend altogether ou imported
forcing stock, whbn there is plenty of good forcing stock right here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $25.00 the 100. !-'
•• 6 and 6 " at 20.00 thfelOO.
•' 4 " at 16.00 the 100.

%

French Novelties, all the best ones, at $6.00 the ICO addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom,
will grow into money for you, and } ou can cash 'em next Easter.

They

There won't be any sur-
plus of blooming* plants next
Spring. Stick a pin in that. We want
every progressive florist to get in
touch with us.

BOUNDBROOK, N. J.

The Boundbrook Nurseries are
building a small greenhouse beside one
of the other houses. It will be 9x100,
just wide enough for two side benches.
Blooms have been cut from the Golden
Glow chrysanthemums since July 15.
The company has many fine mums un-
der glass, and a fine lot of carnations.
The nursery department is slow just
now, but the proprietors, E. P. Bryan
and A. W. Bryan, expect a brisk busi-
ness in the 'fall.

Business is quiet at the Boundbrook
store of George Schmidt, of Somerville.
There is some funeral work, but little
transient trade.

Charles Zvolanek is making extensive
alterations at his greenhouses. He has
planted his sweet peas for the coming
season.

John "Wild has a large number of
chrysanthemums, which will begin to
flower early. They will be followed by
sweet peas.

Ludwig Wild has 2,.500 gardenias and
18,000 mums under glass. He plans to
have 2,000 pansy plants for cutting
during the winter months. Sweet peas
will be planted after the mums have
finished blooming. R. B. M.

LANCASTERrPA.

The early chrysanthemums are mak-
ing their appearance. Some good late
asters are in the market and find buy-
ers easily. Dahlias are to be found in
great variety.

F. A. Suter has a large planting of
the newer varieties of dahlias, and is
starting to cut some of the early ones.

The American Gladiolus Show, at
Atlantic City, was attended by the fol-
lowing Lancaster county florists: Mr.
and Mrs. Albert M. Herr and son,
Irwin; Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barr and

and H. K. Rohrer.

Rodney Eshleman, of B. F. Barr &

New England states.

'Lemar Landis has returned from his
orchard at Cold Springs Farm, in low-
er Lancaster county. He has harvested
some fine peaches.

Recent visitors were William P.

of Philadelphia. H. K. R.

The Florists^ Review

September 2, 1915.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

The Market.

Business is good, while the supply is
still short, especially of quality stock,
aa the result of so much rain and hail,
which is also a handicap to those who
are building and remodeling. Work is
going on so slowly it will cause some
delay in planting. Asters are improv-
ing in stem and flower. Lilies are of
good quality and are plentiful. Eoses
are of exceptionally fine quality.
American Beauties are more in demand
than in any previous summer.

Various Notes.

Business at Arthur Newell 's is hold-
ing up well and the demand for funeral
designs is especially heavy this sum-
mer. Miss Mamie Klein, of this estab-
lishment, has returned after a trip of
five weeks to the Pacific coast, where
she visited the Panama-Pacific and San
Diego expositions. She called on the
trade in several of the coast cities and
returned home well pleased with her
trip.

Joseph Austin was one of the vic-
tims of the recent hail storm. His loss
in glass amounted to-al)out 2,500 square
:feet, besides the loss of a fine lot of
begonias and other plants. The storm
seemed to hit him harder than any-
one else. W. J. Barnes was hit and lost
a few hundred feet of glass with lit-
tle damage to the plants inside, but it
ruined all of the pot stock plunged
outside, especially the pot chrysanthe-
mums. Adolph Mohr lost about 600
lights of glass at both pla<jes. A few
Lorraine begonias were (t&itnaged.

Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Welch, of Bos-
toli, and MJr, and Mrs. A. Lange, of
Chicago, werff" guests of Samuel Mur-
ray one day last week. Miss Hay den
is again at her post in Mr. Murray's
store after an enjoyable trip north.

G. K. Parker, manager of the Geo.
M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., says
that business at the store has been
good through August and he is well
pleased with the way the books look.

Mr. Gray has the greenhouses on the
W. A. Euhl farm, which will be de-
voted to carnations, sweet peas and
vegetables. This place is all steel and
comprises about 60,000 square feet of
glass. Until recently it was under the
management of Mr. Pratt. W. J. B.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department witli regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
-isk The Review to make ai choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MARKET.

The coal men, who have been dull-
spirited in accordance with the dull-
ness of trade, are getting busy and
cheerful. It is admitted that the in-
crease in business is not strong and
uniform, and the activity even now is
scarcely as great as would naturally be
expected at this late season of the
year. Still, there are stirrings that in-
dicate a genuine awakening and fore-
tell the inevitable approach of the real
autumn rush.

The general cheerfulness in the coal
frade is subdued by the fear of a
shortage of cars for the movement of
the fuel. Such a shortage is predicted
about this time nearly every year and
does not always materialize. Some-
times, perhaps, the rumors of lack of
cars have their origin largely in the
minds of coal dealers who wish to
frighten backward buyers into line.
But diligent students of the situation
seem now to be sincerely of the opin-
ion that "under the circumstances it
is not wise or safe to delay any longer
than is absolutely necessary the pur-
chase of coal for storage."

As to the Chicago trade in smokeless
coal, it is stated that "the market is
strengthening. Some concessions were
made on track coal and even on spot
coal, about the middle of the month,
but mine-run for September delivery is
firm both on track and on spot at the
new circular price of $1.40. The lump
and egg situation is not quite so
strong."

HOUSTON, TEX.

One week has passed since the storm,
and the florists have about cleaned pp
the wreckage and are beginning to
rebuild. After checking up the stock,
we find the damage to amount to about
twenty-five to thirty-five per cent. In
two or three weeks we shall not know
we had a storm. Everybody is work-
ing a large force of men, and will soon
have things straightened out.

All the florists are enthusiastic over
the S. A. F. convention for next sum-
mer. Wft wilj shortly name our com-
mittees, and get busy early in the
game. We propose to make this a rec-
ord-breaking convention for the society.
I firmly believe it will come right up
to the best convention the S. A. F. has
ever known, if it is not a record-break-
er. The publicity we are going to give

Washington, D. C.

HEATED BY KROESCHELL BOILERS

The Conservatories of the President of the United States
and the U. S. Propagating Gardens are located opposite the
Washington monument at Washington, D. C. Over forty
greenhouses are devoted to the growing of cut flowers, orchids,
stove plants, tropical and decorative stock, and all bedding
and ornamental plants for the U. S. Government buildings
and grounds at Washington.

A No. 11 KROESCHELL BOILER was installed in 1906
for the high temperature houses. This boiler replaced a
number of other makes and made a remarkable record for
fuel economy.

UNCLE SAM'S IRON FRAME RANGE ERECTED IN
1910 IS HEATED BY KROESCHELL BOILERS.

The Plant Introduction Garden of the United States
Department of Agriculture at Chico, California, is heated by
No. 2 Kroeschell Boiler and Generator System.

In 1912 two No. 5 KROESCHELL BOILERS were in-
stalled for the new range of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, at Garrett Park, Md.

The U. S. Government's new establishment, the Northern
Great Plains Field Station, at Mandan, N. Dakota, ordered
a No. 7 KROESCHELL BOILER for the new greenhouse
range erected in 1913.

August, 1914, two more No. 11 KROESCHELL BOILERS
were ordered for WJylie House Conservatories and U. S. Propa-

The Plain Facts
About the Merits of
Cast and Wrought Iron
Boilers

B

•.iiin^'i;' '"

OTH have their limitations. jIBoth
have their advantages.

For ranges up to 30,000 feet, cast iron
boilei-s are by far the most economical.
Not only most economical in coal, but
they cost less to set up and cost far less
to keep in repair.

Truth to tell, the repairs on a Burnham
are next to nothing. Even the grates
will last a surprisingly long time, because
they are made of a special heat-withstand-
ing iron mixture. They are also made
extra heavy and double under-braced
against warping.

«

In[some cellars the jacket on a wrought
boiler will rust out in a few years. While
in the same cellar, a Burnham would be
good for years and -• *

years, as the cast iron
resists rust.

R-i-

It

If your water is acid or contains some
destructive minerals, you will have to
re-tube a wrought boiler every few years.
Look at the rust-eaten tube on this
page — that's what will happen.

But the Burnham Boiler can use the
same kind of water and scarcely be
affected.

The Burnham you can bring from the
car in sections in any lumber wagon.
With a big riveted together wrought boiler,
it's an engineering job to load it, and a
prodigious task to pull it.

For the man with the moderate sized
range the Burnham Cast Iron Sectional
Boiler is the one to buy.

If you want to talk it over, say when
and where and we'll
be there.

The Market.

The usual summer apathy continues.
Nearly all of the stores have been re-
painted, renovated and put into condi-
tion for the fall openings; the green-
house men have overhauled their ranges
and are well advanced with benching,
and all along the line work is well ad-
vanced for the beginning of fall.

Asters hold the center of the market,
and are of good quality and in large
supply. The latter may be said re-
garding gladioli. A few cactus dahlias
find a demand, but on the whole there
is little doing.

Various Notes.

Byron H. Nixon, of Summit, has an
unusually fine showing of dahlias, his
field containing many choice speci-
mens.

The growers of valley in this local-
ity are sending into the market only
half of the quantity of these flowers
that they have been accustomed to
shipping. There were a number of fair
sized wedding orders last week, and for
the first time since the end of June sev-
eral of the wholesalers sold completely
out on valley before all orders
were filled. Northern-grown American
Beauty roses are of good quality and
are meeting with fair demand consid-
ering the season. White roses sold well
all the week for wedding decorations.
There is considerable snapdragon to
be had, but practically no demand for
it. Gladioli are selling better, but prac-
tic^ally without price. The supply has
decreased greatly. Plenty of good as-
ters are to be had, but even the best
of these fail to bring a good price.
Bubrum lilies were here last week for
the first time this season.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfister have re-
turned to Washington from a long stay
in Switzerland. Mr. Pfister was for-
merly engaged in the retail flower
business on Connecticut avenue, and it

Part of the front of the store has been

ployees. An automobile truck will be

More Proof of the Superiority of

JACOBS BREENHOUSES

Some time ago we were awarded a con-
tract to build the greenhouse shown
above on the right, which then adjoined
two smaller ones. After comparing the
results in the three, we were oruered to
tear down the old ones and replace them
with another of ours— that's the one on
the left.

Had the original houses been properly
designed and properly constructed, they
would not have been doomed to the
scrap heap-
In the selection of a greenhouse
builder an owner must use discrimina-
tion or take the consequences.

Under these circumstances, why take
chances? We design and build them
right in the first Dlac». We go any-
where to submit plans and prices.

aBPTBMBEK'2, 1916.

BALTDHOBE.

The Market.

Business conditions last week in the
wliolesale market were about the same
as those of the week previous. Asters
are more plentiful, and this week's cut
is expected to be the heaviest of the
midseason crop. The best of the asters
arriving now are being sold at a fair
price, but for short and medium stock,
low prices are the rule. In roses the
demand is light and the supply ample.
Gladioli still are arriving. The demand
for them is only fair. Dahlia ship-
ments are light. There is a sufficient
sui^ply of greens.

Various Notes.

William E. McKissick spent part of
last week touring the battlefield of
Gettysburg and surrounding territory.

L. H, Klein is supplying the market
with a fine lot of ferns, cut dahlias and
asters. His shell-pink and lavender
asters of the Crego type are especially
good.

J. J. Perry, C. M. Wagner and Con-
rad Hess were the judges of the floral
exhibits staged at the Timonium fair.

Otto Bauer, manager of the Washing-
ton branch of the S. S. Pennock-Mee-
han Co., was in town August 29.

The Baltimore Cut Flower Co. is han-
dling a nice lot of potted ferns.

B. G. Merritt is cutting good Bussell
roses. The stems are not of the long-
est, but the blooms are good for this
season of the year.

George Hermann, of New York, was
in town calling on the trade last week.

J. J. Perry and family motored to
Washington August 22, but tire trouble
impaired the enjoyment of the trip.

Charles Siegwart is cutting good
blooms of Hadley.

E. Bruce Hamilton, son of James
Hamilton, was married to Miss L. E.
Wood, at Towson, Md., August 27. The
parents of the couple were unaware of
the marriage until it was announced
at a party being held at the Hamilton
residence that evening.

J. E. Bartell has a good lot of Hoo-
sier Beauty planted. He has planted a
large number of Bridesmaids, asserting
that this rose does better than any
other pink he has ever grown.

The gardener who gets the high prices is the one who sends his crops to'
market in the winter. You can overcome Nature by forcing your growths
under Duo-Glazed Sash.

Plants and flowers in ordinary hotbeds may freeze, but they're safe if
you use Duo-Glazed. No covering required. Your plants get all the
light, with no chance of frost. A good living can
be made with three acres under buo-Glazed Sash.

Double Glaaa Forme Air Chamber

Two layers of close-fitting glass make a non-
conducting air chamber that protects your plants
just as the space between wall and plaster keeps
your house warm.

Duo-Glazed Sash is weatherproof; has no springs,
putty, sprigs or plugs; made of best red cypress, 1%-
inch thick, with extra strong tenons. Will last a life-
time. A boy can glaze it.

CINOINNATL

The Market.

Business is steady and ia showing
indications of picking up in the near
future. The supply has decreased a
little, but is still more than sufficient
to care for all present needs. Shipping
business is good. The supply of roses
is large and includes some excellent of-
ferings in Beauties, Ophelia, Radiance,
Hoosier Beauty, Taft, My Maryland,
Killarney and White Killarney. As-
ters are at their best and are in large
supply. Lilies are again plentiful. The
gladiolus cut is still large, but Americas
are running short. Carnations are
now a regular factor. Some fine hardy
hydrangeas may be had. New wild
smilax has been added to the list of
greens. It is excellent.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell, while
at Eichmond, Ind., last week, visited
the greenhouse ranges in that vicinity
and they report everything to be in
first-class shape. The young roses and
carnations are unusually far advanced
and bumper cuts from this district
may be looked for in the coming win-
ter.

William Murphy has gone to his cot-
tage at Chenaux islands.

George Foertsch, with the HoflEmeis-
ter Floral Co., at Lick Eun, is the
proud papa of twins.

The engagement of Arthur Becker
to a belle from the Pacific coast has
been announced. The marriage is to
take place in the spring. No wonder
he stated he was just going to the
coast on a visit!

The Florists' Review

SlFTBKBaB 2. 1916.

POET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Busiuess improved slightly last week.
The weather has taken a decided turu,
and an exceedingly low temperature
has prevailed. There has been no rain
for a week.

Outdoor stock is on the wane. Gla-
dioli are holding out the best, with as-
ters a good second. Some exception-
ally large asters have been noted lately.
There is not a great demand for them,
liowever. Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums, the first of the season, appeared
on the market last week. They were
fine specimens, with large, full flowers,
long stems and good foliage. Aa usual,
the prices for these harbingers of au-
tumn were rather high. Eoses are con-
tinuing to improve and are being
shipped in in larger quantities. Ameri-
can Beauties are only fair in quality,
and do not meet with much demand.
Easter and auratum lilies are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Extensive improvements and reno-
vations are under way in the down-
town store and conservatory of the
Flick Floral Co. The store is being
completely redecorated, and a large Mc-
Cray refrigerator is being installed.
An Overland delivery car has been or-
dered.

A. J. Lanternier is showing Golden
Glow chrysanthemums, the first of the
season. Mr. and Mrs. Lanternier mo-
tored to Fort Becovery, Huntertown,
Ind., August 29, to visit their daughter,
Miss Hilda Lanternier,

Mr. and Mrs. David Vesey are the
proud parents of a baby girl, who ar-
rived last week.

The Bradley Flower Shop is prepar-
ing for the opening of the fall trade.
The firm is showing some fine yellow
mums in the store at the Jefferson
theater.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey 's new Over-

WORKING ON THE ^
WYNDMOOR RAILROAD

The Myers & Samtman Short Line, operating between Greenhouse and
Field, does not cover many miles, nor is its rolling stock large, hut it pays
heavy dividends in health and energy. Its officers welcome rival lines,
which can also earn hig dividends, hut cannot diminish theirs.

LEAE the track! Here comes
the fast freight on the
Wyndmoor railroad, other-
wise known as the Myers &
Samtman Short Line. It is
on the way from Greenhouse

Roadbed of the Wyndmoor Railroad.

to Field. If you can't find those sta-
tions on the map, you will be thankful
to be informed that they are both in
Springfield township, Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania — or, • in other
words, at Chestnut Hill,
Philadelphia.

It is a small railroad,
to be sure, but then it's
young. Despite its youth
it is notably successful,
and pays big dividends
to the operators as well
as to the oflBcers of the
road. To the former they
are in the shape of health,
happiness and energy, and
to the latter in the shape
of time, money and worry
saved. The capital stock
of the road is fully paid
up, and there is no bonded
indebtedness. The officers
are: President, Frank P.
Myers ; vice - president,
Martin Samtman ; gen-
eral manager, Joseph S.
Myers.

The history of the
road reaches back three
years. At the beginning
of that time Myers &
Samtman were in a quan-
dary. Their prosperity

had brought them a problem. They al-
ready had a large range, and were add-
ing a house 55x300 each spring. Their
books showed that benches filled each
year with fresh soil and fresh plants
were generally more profitable than those
occupied by plants carried over. On the
other hand, there was the ever increas-
ing difficulty of getting the houses emp-
tied and cleaned, and filled and planted
in time. Every man who wanted work
was hired and given plenty of it each
spring. All the regular men did their level
best. But in spite of all efforts made, the
work dragged. It was too heavy. More
than this, the unusual strain told on the
regular employees after replanting was
over. They were completely played out.
Nor were the extra men any better. So
it had come to the point that everyone
dreaded the spring. It really seemed as
though progress were barred.

The solution of the problem came with
the idea of replacing the wheelbarrows
with some mechanical method of trans-
porting the soil from field to greenhouse
and vice versa. Cars and track were
decided upon. So ten industrial, ball-
bearing steel cars were purchased, each
of which holds one cubic yard, or thirteen
wheelbarrow loads, of soil. Twelve
hundred feet of 24-inch track, half a
dozen curves of varying degrees of
sharpness, some turntables and several
switches completed the equipment. The
track is shifted from bench to bench
and house to house as needed.

It is not extraordinary that the rail-

road did not reach the top-notch of suc-
cess the first season. This was prin-
cipally due to lack of knowledge and ex-
perience. At first the track broke down
the benches in the greenhouses. To pre-
vent this, the blocks that had been used

to support the tracks were replaced by
3x6 spruce planks, which distributed the
weight over several supports. There
was also a partial change made in the
means of propelling the cars. While
they could be moved by
hand with ease on the
level, it was found ad-
visable to hook together
five cars and attach a
pair of horses to them
where the track was up-
grade. With a few such
minor changes the sys-
tem became perfected.
The last two years the
operation of replanting
the houses has become
comparatively easy. It
is not now, of course, a
light task, but the men
do not look forward to
it with the dread of the
old days, and are not
fagged when it is com-
pleted.

The scenic views of

this and the following
page show plainly the
modus operandi. The
houses are quickly

field alongside the track. What is
not removed from the cars by tip-
ping is easily taken out with the
hoe. It is not much, more of a job
to refill the houses. When the cars are
on the tracks on the benches, they can
be shifted on the trucks so that the soil
can be distributed where it is wanted.
The watch showed that ten cubic yards
of soil was distributed and leveled in fif-
teen minutes by thirteen men.

"A wonderful energy -saver " is the
description of the road by the officers.
"The dread in looking forward to re-
planting is, at Myers & Samtman, a thing
of the past. The wheelbarrow has been
discarded except in the smallest houses.
When replanting is finished, the men are
all ready for the fall campaign instead of
being fagged. The matter of economy,
while it is important, is of secondary con-
sideration compared to the energy that is
conserved in the force."

BOCHESTEB FLOWER SHOW.

Draws Large Attendance.

The Rochester exposition and flower
show, formally opened by the mayor
August 30, has attracted large crowds.
September 2, over 22,000 people were
present, a record-breaking attendance.
September 11 will be closing day.

The flower show is a new attraction.
No efforts were spared on the part of
the committee to make it a success.
The building in which the show is be-
ing held is elaborately decorated with
nearly 100 cases of southern smilax.
Hanging from the girders are eleven
large baskets of smilax and wistaria
blooms. The floor space of over 20,000
square feet is well filled by the ex-
hibitors. Thousands of spikes of
gladioli and large quantities of an-

nuals and perennials are shown. Con-
sidering the time of year, the displays
of roses were exceptionally fine on ar-
rival, but the warm weather soon
spoiled them. There are no prizes of-
fered for any exhibit, but the amount
of good advertising obtained amply re-
pays the exhibitors. There are twenty-
four exhibitors, each of whom has
^Tiade a fine showing.

Dreer's Lily Pond.

Probably the center of attraction is
the lily pond, which measures thirty-
six feet in diameter, surrounded by a
rockery, filled with ferns, fancy-leaved
caladiums, etc. The fountain is
fringed with Cyperus Papyrus, the
Egyptian paper plant; Thalia dealbata
and Acorus Japonicus variegatus. Bor-
dering these are nelumbiums, Egyp-
tian lotus, in a variety of colors. The
pond is filled with the greatest assort-
ment 6f water plants ever assembled in
this section. Prominent are the blue
nymphfieas of Zanzibar. This beautiful
pond is mainly the work of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, and is in
the charge of their representative,
John S. Hay.

This same firm is responsible for an
excellent exhibit of decorative plants,
which includes araucarias of various
sizes, Adiantum gloriosum, Cocos Wed-
delliana, Cibotium Schiedei, crotons of
numerous varieties, Pandanus Vietchii
and utilis. Phoenix Roebelenii, Poly-
podium Mandaianum. A half-dozen
well colored pineapples have attracted
much attention. This display is in the
personal charge of James J. Karins.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co., of Boston,
have a good exhibit of gladioli, lilies
and heather, with water color paintings
of their special lilies. Wm. Bersher, of
Boston, is in charge.

Pierson's Boses.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell,
Conn., have a good showing of palms
and ferns, as well as an elegant dis-
play of cut roses, which are received
daily, of such new varieties as Hoosier
Beauty, Lady Alice Stanley, Wm. Ran-
dolph Hearst and Red Radiance. The
firm also shows fine Golden Glow mums

BETABDINO PAPEB WHITES.

How should the bulbs of Paper White
narcissi be kept in order to have a suc-
cession of three or four crops during
the late fall and winter? I have been
storing the bulbs in a cool, dark cellar,
intending to make different plantings,
but I have been obliged to plant them
in two or three weeks, because the
growth was too strong and I feared
that if I did not plant them they would
become worthless. W. B. — Mich.

Nothing is gained by unduly delay-
ing the planting of Paper Whites.
Plant them in flats and store them in
as cold a cellar as you have. The
plants can be kept back just as well
in this way as by attempting to keep
them out of the soil, and the longer
they are out of the soil the poorer their
quality will be. I have no trouble in
keeping Paper Whites until the end of
February in a cold cellar. These are
potted as soon as received and are
brought along in batches, the first flow-
ering early in November. C. W.

MALANDBES' JAPANESE GABDEN.

Maintaining their reputation for
high-class window displays, Malandre
Bros., the New York retailers, have
been exhibiting at their store at 2077
Broadway a miniature Japanese garden
of elaborate design. It has attracted
a great deal of attention from the
pedestrians on that famous thorough-
fare. The work was done by members
of the firm, whose decorative skill is
well known. A view of the store front
while the Japanese garden was ex-
hibited is given herewith. The ad-
mirers who continually lined the front
of it are, however, absent; they were
.shooed away by the photographer.

of booking an average of three tele-
graph orders a day while the display
was in." He had the window photo-
graphed and now is distributing cards
carrying the cut inscribed "The most

SCALE ON NEPHBOLEPIS.

I am sending under separate cover
a few fern leaves which are badly af-
fected with some sort of pest. Can
you tell me of a remedy?

G. E.— N. Y.

This is another example of the trou-
blesome fern scale that is so frequently
found on nephrolepis. The first thing
to do is to cut off all the fronds that
are as badly infested as the specimens
submitted, and to destroy them. If the
plants are in. pots, dip them in a solu-
tion of fish oil soap and nicotine or
tobacco extract. The solution should
consist of one ounce of the soap and
one teaspoonful of forty per cent nico-
tine to one gallon of water, and the
treatment should be given two or three
times at intervals of a week or ten
days. W. H. T.

SCALE INSECTS ON FERNS.

I am sending you some fern fronds
that are infested with small white in-
sects, which seem to be spreading
among our ferns with great rapidity.
We do not know what the pest is, nor
are we able to check it. Please tell us
what it is and how to get rid of it.

J. S.— Wyo.

The pest in question is one of the
scale insects, the full grown specimens
of which are also to be seen on the
fern fronds in the form of a flat brown
scale. Any fronds that are as badly
infested as those sent for inspection
should be cut off and burned.

If the plants are in pots, the best
treatment would be to dip them in a
solution of an ounce of fish oil soap
and one teaspoonful of nicotine, forty
per cent solution, to one gallon of wa-
ter, repeating the dose at intervals of
one week for a time. If the ferns are
planted out, they could be sprayed with
the same solution. After dipping, the
plants should be laid down to prevent
the drip from draining into the soil.
As this pest is a persistent one, sev-
eral treatments may be needed to over-
come it. W' H. T.

WOEMS ON FERNS.

A short time ago we wrote to you
about a species of worms that have
been damaging our ferns. We told you
about our unsuccessful attempts to
check the pest and asked you to sug-
gest some other remedy. You replied
that the worms, according to our de-
scription, seemed to be some sort of
caterpillars and that they could prob-
ably be subdued by means of hellebore.
Now, we are satisfied that we have not
made clear the character of these "var-
mints," as they do not appear to us
to be caterpillars. We are therefore
forwarding a few of the worms, under
separate cover, and should like to get

some further information about them.
We are now fumigating with nico-
tine extract, which we have been told
by a brother florist will kill the young
worms just after they are batched, but
does not affect the older ones. We
contemplate fumigating once a week
for about six or seven weeks, thus in-
suring the killing of these pests when
they arg hatched. We will endeavor
to give you a detailed report after this
experiment, as to the results obtained.
This same florist informs us that these
worms originated with the fern grow-
ers in Florida a number of years ago,
but are now pretty well scattered over
the country. He informed us that his
place was at one time badly infested
with them, but he got rid of them by
the nicotine route. However, if this
does not prove successful here, I will
give the hellebore a trial.

T. N. C— Tex.

The worms in question are the cater-
pillars of some moth, and bear some
resemblance to the currant worm, but
I am unable to say whether they are
that particular pest or not. This cor-
respondent states that he has tried
various remedies, but finds that arsen-

ical compounds strong enough to kill
the worms will injure the plants to
which they are applied. It would seem,
therefore, that powdered hellebore,
thoroughly dusted over the plants,
would be the most suitable remedy in
this case, as this vegetable poison is
the most satisfactory preparation that
is used against the currant worm.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

["How to Lay Ont Suburban Home Grounds,"
by Herbert J. Kellaway, landscape architect.
Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New
York. New edition, enlarged. Size, 6x9 Inches;
134 pages; Illustrated with forty-one halftone
plates and fifteen plans and maps. Price, bound
In cloth, $2 net.]

The object of this book, as stated by
the author, is to assist people of mod-
erate incomes in their efforts to secure
beautiful home surroundings. The sug-
gestions that he offers, he says,. * ' are
not intended to deal with the treatment
of large estates or explain the many
principles of landscape architecture, but
only as an iuQentive to good taste."

Yet, though he does not befog his
readers with the more abstruse and
technical principles of landscaping, he
does state clearly such simple, practi-
cal principles as are necessary to an
intelligent planning and planting of
home grounds. He does not lay down
cut and dried rules, without reasons to
sustain them or explain them, but so
illuminates the whole sublject as to en-
able the readers to see clearly how to
formulate their own rules for specific
cases. And the illustrations, being
really illustrative, show the successive
steps in the landscaper's work, from
the drafting of the preliminary plan
to the completion of the job.

FAIRY RINO.

We are sending you, under separate
cover, one of our carnation plants, and
we should like to have your opinion as
to whether the plant is attacked by
any serious disease. The plants were
benched about five or six weeks ago
and most of them are making new
growth. We have sprayed them every
week with Bordeaux mixture, but the
leaves continue to dry up as if they
were .attacked by some fungus. We
picked the dead leaves off at intervals,
thinking the trouble was caused by
the plants receiving a check from
transplanting, but another bench, which
we planted about two weeks later, does
not seem to be affected. The season
has been extremely wet and the plants
made a rapid growth. After benching
the plants, we cared for them just as
we did last year, when we had no trou-
ble. The plant enclosed is the worst
one in the whole bench. S. E. C.

The specimen submitted showed a
number of fairy ring spots. You will
distinguish these by the shape of the

spots and the distinct circle around the
edge of each spot. There are a good
many dead leaves, which are merely the
result of the check sustained by the
transplanting. Your spraying with
Bordeaux mixture was the correct
thing. Supplement this with picking
off every leaf that shows one of these
round spots. Keep picking them off till
the plants are free from the disease.
Reduce the syringing to a minimum as
soon as the plants are able to stand up
without it, which they should do by
this time, as moisture will aggravate
this trouble. Give all the ventilation
possible, both day and night.

A. F. J. B.

STIGMONOSE.

Will you please let me know what
caused the spots on the enclosed car-
nation! Is it anything that will hurt
the plants! They are still in the field
and are growing strongly. The weath-
er has been wet and cold here. Is
there anything that will cure it, if it
is a disease! L. M. & S.

The spots mentioned in your query

Sbptembeb 9, 1015.

The Florists' Revkw

are caused by the disease known as
stigmonose. It is the same disease
which is prevalent throughout the coun-
try and which usually is most notice-
able during the winter and early spring.
The wet weather ia undoubtedly re-
sponsible for its appearance at this
time, but if you will bench the plants
and handle them carefully, they will
probably give good results this winter.
After the plants are established on the
benches, follow a moderate course of
culture. Refrain from undue feeding
and do everything possible to promote
a sturdy, well matured growth.

OOOD CRIMSON CABNATIONS.

We wish to know of a new red car-
nation that is darker than Victory and
about the color of old Harlowarden,
one that is suitable for this district,
southeastern South Dakota. We have
tried Pocahontas, but it is not what we
want. We want one that is a free
bloomer, with a good stem and a double
fringed edge, if there is such a one.

T. N.— S. D.

:lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllilllim

The only crimson carnations on the
market considered worth growing are
Pocahontas and Princess Dagmar. The
latter has fringed petals, b"ut is not up
to Pocahontas in freedom of bloom. We
grow only Pocahontas in this color and
consider it fully equal to the Enchant-
ress tribe for freedom. A. F. J. B.

BADLY INFESTED WITH THEIPS.

Will you please tell me what is the
matter with a few of my carnations
and suggest a remedy? I enclose some
samples. Only a few of the plants
show the trouble, but last winter a
whole house was badly affected.

W. B.— Ohio.

Your carnations are badly infested
with thrips, which are most probably
responsible for the curling up of the
leaves. Those light spots, also, are
probably caused by the same pest. You
do not state whether the plants are in
the house or outdoors, but in either
case the remedy will have to be prac-
tically the same, except that the trou-
ble will be more difficult to handle out-
doors than inside. First of all, dispose
of all the vegetation, such as grass or
weeds, from around the plants. If the
plants are inside, clean up not only in-
side the house, but around the outside
as well, because with the ventilators
open day and night the pests will come
inside as fast as you can kill them
off. If the plants are in the field, the
same procedure will be in order.

Having cleaned up the premises, the
next thing in order will be to spray
the plants thoroughly and often with
one of the nicotine solutions. Apply it
at least twice weekly; three times will
do no harm. Keep the soil stirred or
cultivated frequently. Dusting the
plants heavily with tobacco dust should
also prove beneficial. You will likely
be obliged to keep up this warfare un-
til cool weather sets in, to hold the
pests in check. Then, if you will keep
after them next winter, you will be
able to get rid of them altogether.

DAVID WELCH.

FEW florists have not heard of Welch Bros. Co., Boston, the oldest wholesale
florists' house in the country. Many have met in person Patrick Welch,
president of the S. A. F. But Edward and David Welch, though well ' known
in New England, are less in the limelight than their brother. David had to forego
his annual trip to Ireland this summer on account of the submarine activity; so
he spent last month at Rockland, Me., where the photographer caught him as he
was taking one of his morning jaunts on his white charger, like a commander of
the Allies out of uniform. So strenuously did Mr. Welch exercise at Rockland that
he left behind seventeen pounds of his avoirdupois when he returned from the
Pine Tree state, but still carries sufficient for identification. W. N. C.

morning, we find a number of little
knots on the roots and we are anxious
to know what you think about these
and what we should do to our soil to
get rid of the trouble. The ground
these plants are in is a sandy loam and
was planted last year in corn. What
crop can we put in that this disease
will not thrive in, and what can we do
when planting these carnations in the
greenhouse? G. F. C. — Tex.

I would suggest that you send speci-
mens to a number of the leading experi-
ment stations, such as the Department
of Agriculture at Washington; the De-
partment of Floriculture of the Univer-
sity of Dlinois, Urbana, 111.; the Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural College, Am-
herst, Mass., and the Department of
Agriculture of Cornell, Ithaca, N. Y.
Some one of these ought to give you the
information you need. A. F. J. B.

I am not able to give you any definite
information about these root-knots on
your carnations. We have had no per-
sonal experience with them and I have
seen only one or two similar cases. In
one case the plants seemed to make fair
growth in the field, but during the win-
ter they became stunted and ceased
growing altogether. I certainly would
not risk benching any plants that
showed the least sign of these knots;
neither would I use the soil they have
been growing in.

Carthage, Mo. — Thomas E. Johnson
and Dolly Johnson, proprietors of the
Carthage Greenhouses, have sued Oscar
D. Graff, of Joplin, the former owner,
for $3,000 damages. The proprietors
allege that O. D, Graff represented the
business to be yielding certain profits
at regular intervals, and that they
bought the property on his representa-
tion alone. Since then they have found
that the business was and is a losing
one, instead of a paying one. Hence
the damages asked.

PROPAGATING.

Tlie piopagatiou of geraniums is at-
tended with less risk when delayed until
late September or October, but cuttings
can be taken now, and if they are al-
lowed to lie on the potting bench a
few hours to dry before being placed in
the sand, there will be less damping oflf.
A wet July and August has made all
wood outdoors unusually soft and suc-
culent, and a spell of hot, muggy
weather after the cuttings are taken is
liable to cause a heavy loss. Trim the
leaves off closely. If left on, they
will only wilt and cause rot later. Do
not shade the cuttings at all; they need
the full sun. Many growers stand their
flats outdoors and have good results. Be
sure the drainage is good; otherwise
heavy thunder showers are likely to
damage them seriously. I like to stand
them where sashes can be placed over
them to throw off heavy rain.

WINTEB GEBANIUMS.

Eemove all flower trusses from win-
ter geraniums as they appear and give
the final potting before the last of Sep-
tember. Suitable sizes of pots are
5-inch and 6-inch. It is astonishing
what splendid plants can be grown in
these sizes of pots, if they are properly
cared for. Use cow manure sparingly
in the soil, but add a 5-inch pot of fine
bone to each bushel of soil, and, once
the plants are established, give top-
dressings of Clay's fertilizer or fine
bone once in eight or ten days. Do
not use liquid manure; it produces a
soft growth. The other plant foods
named build up stocky plants.

BLIGHT DUE TO DAMPNESS.

J am sending yo;i some geranium
leaves which seem to be affected by a
disease or blight. I put out several
beds of S. A. Xutt geraniums last spring
and they seemed to be nice, healthy
plants. Now they are almost a total
wreck. These beds are not in one loca-
tion and have not the same exposure
or soil. T^hey are some distance apart
in different j)arts of the city, but all
the beds have had geraniums in them
for several years .nnd tliev always did
well before. If you know of any way
to overcome this trouble, please let me
know. W. K.— N. Y.

The cause of the blighted foliage is
unquestionably the Ini'g spell of humid,
sunless and rainy weatl cr experienced
in the east sin<e early in .Inly. I have
seen many other beds which were per-
fectly healthy when planted out and
they are now in the same condition as
yours. There is little you can do toward
alleviating the trouble except to pick
over the plants somewhat. A spell of
dry, sunny weather would soon put new
life into the plants. Geraniums sim-
ply cannot stand continuous wet weath-
er, but always present a more or less

miserable appearance under such cou-
<Utions. C. W.

GEBANIUM FOLIAGE DISEASED.

Under separate coyer I am sending
you a sample of geranium foliage which
is covered with blotches and small spots
of an ash color. Many of the leaves
are turning more or less yellow in
streaks and splashes, either down the
side, or, in some cases, through the
middle of the leaf. Can you tell me
the cause of this, and the remedy?

J. G. B.— Mass.

The leaves when received were com-
pletely dried up. An affection of the
kind you mention is not at all un-
usual. If the plants were outdoors, it
can safely be attributed to the abnor-
mal climatic conditions experienced in
July in your section — tremendous rain-
falls, a heavy atmospheric humidity,
and, for a considerable period, little
sunshine. With clear and drier weath-
er, your plants will grow out of their
trouble. If the plants are under glass,
pick off the worst affected leaves and
give a spraying of Bordeaux mixture or
Fungine. Eepeat the application a week
later. Spray on a clear day when the
foliage is dry, and sufficiently early in
the day so that any moisture will dry
up before nightfall. C. W.

are plants of less beauty. The explana-
tion may be found in the fact that
many growers consider Easter Greeting
a poor producer of cuttings because of
its great flowering qualities.

This belief, howeve?, is not substan-
tiated in the case of , J. N. Spanabel &
Sons, East }'alestine,'T3., who produce
heavily of Easter Greeting.

Last summer this concern put 800
5-inch stock plants in the field, but
owing to a busy season and adverse
weather conditions, the stock was not
planted until .June 20. The plants were
cultivated in the same manner as other
plants in the field. Three crops of cut-
tings were secured, the first cuttings
.luly 31, and the last ones September
25. From the three crops 17,500 cut-
tings were obtained, and an average of
ninety per cent were rooted. Judged
by this record, Easter Greeting can
hardly be called a poor cutting pro-
ducer.

J. N. Spanabel & Sons attribute their
success to keeping the flowers off' the
stock plants. After the cuttings were
in the sand there was nothing to hinder
proper rooting. When potted, the
plants were not kept too dry, or the
stems would be likely to harden and
not produce nice plants. A tempera-
ture of 45 to 50 degrees was found
best. In a higher temperature the
plants would be liable to make a soft
growth, which would mean trouble

FEBTILIZEB FOB MUMS.

As a fertilizer for chrysanthemums
in pots and boxes, would one teaspoon-
ful of bone meal, sprinkled around each
plant, be too much? Would one tea-
spoonful of nitrate of soda to six quarts
of water be about right? As the latter
is so powerful a fertilizer, I prefer to
mix it in small quantities, so as to be
sure of what I am doing. I should
hate to kill with kindness. Would it
be advisable to use either of these at
intervals of a day or two?

P. E. I.— La.

One teaspoonful of bone is not
enough to hurt a plant in a pot or box.
Probably P. E. I. is aware that the
finer the meal, the better the results.
A teaspoonful of nitrate of soda in six
quarts of water is also safe. A rough
and ready way to calculate is to put a
4-inch potful of soda in a kerosene bar-
rel of water, which is supposed to be
about fifty gallons, and this can be
used about once a week. Personally, I
prefer to use sulphate of ammonia
rather than nitrate of soda, as the for-
mer seems to be better suited to chrys-
anthemums. Chas. H. Totty.

STEMS EATEN BY GBUBS.

Will you kindly let me know what to
do for my chrysanthemums? I have
possibly 200 or more plants in the open
ground, and every here and there one
of them is hanging its head just as
if it were scalded. The leaves look
sick. I dig the plants up early in the
morning, but can find no worms or
bugs. Still, there must be something
that eats them, for the stems are hol-
low and seem to be cut off entirely
from the root. I water and spray every
day and the plants were perfectly
healthy looking until this trouble began.
I have sprinkled the ground rather
heavily with hydrated lime.

P. E. I.— La.

The trouble is caused by an insect
that eats the sap and inner tissues of
the stem, leaving nothing but the shell
of the plant, so that the plant naturally
falls over when moved by the wind or
when sprayed. This pest is by no
means common, but almost every year
some section of the country reports
trouble with it. The eggs are deposited
by a butterfly in the stem of the plant,
and the larvse, when hatched, proceed
to work either up or down the stem,
eating their way out as they go. They
usually go downward and consequently
the plant generally separates at the
root. P. E. L will see that the, plants
are eaten down to a point where there
is a hole, and there the worm has made
its escape.

There is no insecticide that can touch
this pest, because to kill the grub would
mean death to the plant. The same

grub is often present in the common
burdock; in fact, I think the burdock
is the host plant, and this furnishes
anothgr reason why weeds of all de-
scriptions should be kept cut down
around a florist's establishment.

Chas. H. Totty.

This is applied when the plants are
making a strong, vigorous growth and
is one of the finest fertilizers for chrys-
anthemums that I know of. It is read-
ily soluble and is available for use by
the plants almost immediately.

Chas. H. Totty.

PBOPOBTION OF FEBTILIZEB.

Will you kindly let the readers of
The Eeview, as well as myself, know
what proportion of phosphate of am-
monia should be used for chrysanthe-
mums, roses, etc? I had the directions
once, but have lost my memorandum
book. I am now especially anxious to
produce fine foliage on the plants.

E. T.— Kan.

LEAF-MINEBS ON MUMS.

I notice here and there a few leaves
at the bottom of my Polly Eose chry-
santhemum plants that have brown
spots on them like those on the leaves
enclosed. What is the cause of these
spots? H. A. C. — Ala.

I have never used phosphate of am-
monia for chrysanthemums, so I am
unable to state its proportion. Is E. T.
sure he does not mean sulphate of am-
monia, which is an excellent fertilizer
and largely used? A safe proportion
of sulphate of ammonia is one pound
dissolved in a 50-gallon barrel of water.

The spots on the leaves are caused
by the leaf -miner, the same Insect that
attacks celery. This pest lays its egg
between the tissues of the leaf, and
when hatched it has the inner and outer
leaf-skin to protect it. Therefore it
cannot be reached by insecticides of
any kind and the only method of fight-
ing it is to take the infested leaves off
the plants and burn them.

YOUNG POINSETTIA PLANTS.

The present is a good time, in the
south, to start making the last batch
of poinsettia layers. They root a lit-
tle more quickly this month, and, as
they also make a smaller growth be-
tween the time of layering and rooting,
they are more easily handled and es-
tablished after being potted off. Shift
any 2%-inch pot stock into 3-inch pots,
to carry them along until time to put
them into their flowering pans, which
is during the latter part of September
or early in October.

These plants, when handled right,
are not especially touchy in regard to
cool or changeable temperatures. Last
year we had ours on a side bench in the
rose house, with the side glass removed,
and the night temperature fell to 52
degrees inside for a full week before
a fire was started. The plants grew
strongly, with a fine color.

The two most important factors in
their fall culture in the south are the
watering and fertilizing. They should
always tend to the dry side and should
be well sprayed with a fine stream to
check mealy bug. For fertilizing, a top-
dressing of pulverized cow manure, not
too fresh, is preferable to manure wa-
ter. This should be renewed each week
from the middle of October until the

bracts have developed. A night temper-
ature of 56 degrees is enough till the
bracts are developed, after which a lit-
tle less heat will be all right, with a
lessened water supply. L.

CABNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Two weeks after planting is a good
time to give the beds their first work-
ing. By that time the weeds and grass
have become big enough to be easily
pulled. The ground can be worked
pretty deeply, with no attempt at
smoothing it off, but rather leaving it
in a rough state. Each week for an-
other month the beds can be worked
again, smoothing the surface and break-
ing up any lumps Rt sach operation.
When the carnations are grown on solid
beds, as they should be, they can be
worked much longer without injury
than when grown on raised benches.
Indeed, on solid beds it is possible to
work the surface lightly until spring
approaches. If the right moisture is
maintained in the beds, there is no
danger of the roots appearing on the
surface. When the roots appear early
on the surface of a solid bed, you may
be sure the moisture is deficient under-
neath.

After the carnations have been
planted a month, under southern condi-

tions, I notice there is decidedly less
loss from stem-rot among the plants
grown in soil used for the second and
third years than among the plants
grown in fresh aoil. The difference is
as much as one to four. Qt course,
this may prove nothing, but it , is a
point that will bear watching. Plenty
of moisture at the roots of the plants,
with a good syringing each bright day
and a thorough dampening of the
walks, will be routine work for a few
weeks yet. Needless to say, give all
the ventilation possible. Keep all the
flowering shoots pinched back until the
end of September, after which a few
may be left to develop into flowers for
October. L.

PLANTINO SWEET PEAS.

In the south, if sweet peas are
wanted for the holidays, the seed
should be planted early in September, on
solid beds, in rows three feet apart.
We plant as follows, to prevent any
damping off:

The bed is first filled with fresh soil
and manure, in the proportion of three
to one, and allowed to dry out for two
weeks. A good soaking is given the
day before planting. Where the rows
are to be, the soil is drawn up into
low ridges, and a furrow or deep drill
is made along each ridge. A little
fresh, wet sand is run along each drill;
the seed is sown and only lightly cov-
ered with a little more sand. The only
water given until the vines are well
started on their supports is applied on
each side of the ridge. By this method
we have never had the least trouble
with stem-rot. The plants need lots of
water and fertilizing after they have
started to bloom. A night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees or under is about
right. Along the gulf coast they are
grown mostly outdoors. L.

THE HASDY FLOWEB GABDEN.

The Hardy Sunflowers.

Among the robust-growing perennials
there is now a preponderance of yellow-
flowering subjects, and prominent
among ' these are the helianthus, or
hardy sunflowers. Out of a large num-
ber of these the following are most
worthy of culture and practically all
are blooming now: H. rigidus Miss
Mellish, beautiful, large, single, golden
yellow flowers, growing six feet in
height; mollis, downy foliage and
lemon-colored flowers, four to five feet
in height; Wolley Dod, single, deep yel-
low; Soleil d'Or, double yellow flowers,
quilled petals; multiflorus plenus, dou-
ble golden yellow. These double sorts
are less hardy than the singles and
should be lifted and stored in a cellar
or frame in cold and wet localities.
Multiflorus maximus is a large, single,
golden yellow sort, six inches or more
in diameter. Orgyalis, the willow-
leaved sunflower, carries medium-sized
pale yellow flowers in abundance in
September. Maximiliani, the latest of
the whole family, grows eight feet in
height. It will not flower before the
middle of October.

Budbdcklas, or Coneflowers.

Closely allied to the helianthus are
the rudbeckias, or coneflowers. One or
two of these have been flowering for
some time; others are just at their best.
Everyone, of course, knows R. laci-
niata Golden Glow, a beautiful thing;

the only trouble with it is that it is
too common and too easy to grow.
The single laciniata is pretty, and the
lower growing, densely branched R.
subtomentosa has been producing its
masses of brilliant lemon flowers for
some weeks.\ R. purpurea, the giant
purple -coneflower, carries reddish pur-
ple flowers; it is a good perennial and
does not spread so rapidly as to be
a nuisance. The perennial Black-eyed
Susan, R. Newmani, with deep orange
yellow flowers and a deep purple cone,
is still flowering, while nitida, or Au-
tumn Glory, six feet in height, with
pale yellow flowers, is just opening.

Asters, or Michaelmas Daisies.

The hardy asters, or Michaelmas
daisies, are among our most beautiful
fall hardy flowers, and of late years
these have been wonderfully improved
by British specialists. New varieties
are sent out annually, so that' the list
of these is**now almost bewildering. I
append a list of twelve sorts, which
I have found to give a good range of
colors, and all are first-class varieties.
Anyone not caring to bother with
named varieties should get a packet
of seeds from a good specialist and
they will get a really wonderful as-
sortment of flowers. Here are a dozen
good varieties to grow: Beauty of
Colwall, double lavender; Lil. Fardell,
single bright pink; St. Egwin, charm-
ing light pink; Top Sawyer, light blue;
Starlight, dark, fading to light blue;
Lffivis, pale heliotrope; Hon. Edith
Gibbs, pale blue; Perry's Pink, reddish
pink; Robert Parker, light blue; Bertha
Cubitt, pale amethyst; Umbellatum,
pure white, and Elsie Perry, rose-pink.

Boltonias and Heleniums.

The boltonias, or false chamomiles,
have flowers closely resembling the
asters. Like them, they are all well
adapted for cutting. They are robust
and tall growers, and, to keep them
within bounds, they should be trans-
planted every second year. B. aster-
oides, with white flowers, is the variety
usually most in evidence, but B. latis-
quama, with pink flowers tinged with
lavender, is the finest variety for cut-
ting. There is a dwarf form, B. latis-
quama nana, growing two and one-half
feet in height, about half the altitude
of the type.

The helenium, or sneeze weed, is
a vigorous-growing, free-flowering and
showy perennial. H. autumnale su-
perbum, deep golden yellow, and H.
autumnale superbum rubrum, reddish
terra cotta, are now at their best. Each
grows six feet in height. H. grandi-
cephalum striatum, orange striped with
crimson, has been in bloom for some
time, but is still good. It grows three
to four feet in height. H. Riverton
Gem is a fine variety, color old gold
suffused with rich terra cotta. All the
heleniums need frequent transplanting,
as they spread rapidly.

pression he hears others talk about.
Business has been quieter than during
the winter and spring, but not more so
than usual. He thinks business will
be unusually good during the autumn.

WILL MEET AT MOLINE.

One of the most successful meetings
ever held by the executive board of
the Illinois State Florists' Association
was in session at Peoria August 31.
The meeting was presided over by
President C. W. Johnson, of Morgan
Park. Those in attendance were Sec-
retary J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville;
Treasurer F. L,» Washburn, of Bloom-
ington; Vice-President E. W. Guy, of
Belleville; Vice-President A. C. Brown,
of Springfield; Vice-President Andrew
Peterson, of Hoopeston; Vice-President
John Staack, of Moline; Ex-President
Charles Loveridge, of Peoria, and
George Washburn, of Bloomington.

It was decided to hold the next an-
nual meeting at Moline March 7 and 8,
1916. The secretary was instructed to
invite the Iowa State Florists' Associa-
tion to meet at the same time and
place. The president and secretary were
instructed to arrange the program. It
also was decided that hereafter all
members pay for their own banquet
tickets, the cost being not to exceed
$1.50 per plate.

It was voted that hereafter the
judges be selected by the president
before the meeting and that all new
varieties be judged by regulation scale
of points. The secretary was instructed
to draw up resolutions for publication
to amend the constitution to the effect
that all members who have paid a total
of $10 in dues shall be entitled to a
life membership certificate, the same
to be presented at the next annual
meeting for adoption.

The visitors were entertained by Ex-
President Charles Loveridge and family.
The meeting was held in the spacious
directors' room of the Farmers' Loan
Association, through the courtesy of
Mr. Loveridge, who is vice-president of
the institution.

EOCHESTEE, N. Y.

The Market.

The weather last week was warmer
and better than any during August.
Consequently a larger amount of stock
has come to the market. The exposi-
tion called for a large quantity of
decorative plants and palms, and many
flowers were used at the flower show
each day.

The warm weather has had a bad
effect on all kinds of roses. On ar-
rival they are in first-class condition,
but they open too quickly, even in the
icebox. Ophelia, Sunburst and Russell
are the best keepers, and sell nicely.
American Beauties are not good. The
stems are short and the blooms are
small. The supply of carnations is
limited; most of them are cut from
outdoor plants. Sweet peas are un-
satisfactory. Easter lilies are good,
but without demand. Valley is be-
coming more plentiful, and sells fairly
well. There is an abundance of gladi-
oli on the market. Asters are plenti-
ful and move fairly well. There is an
abundance of tritomas, phloxes, Japa-
nese lilies, Golden Glow, helianthus
and Shasta daisies. Yellow mums are
making an appearance and sell easily.

Various Notes.

R. J. Rapalji has returned from a
trip through New York and Pennsyl-
vania.

An artistic window display was
shown by the Rochester Floral Co. for
the opening of the horse show. Flow-
ers of the Rochester colors were used.
In the window was a wooden horse and
cart decorated with yellow, blue and
white ribbons. The display attracted
considerable attention.

Salter Bros., at the opening of the
horse show, furnished a large horseshoe
made of hardy hydrangeas and Golden
Glows, studded with purple asters.

Schuyler Arnold, of the Crescent
Seed Farm, had an extensive display
of cut asters at the Brockport fair.

E. F. Kennon, of the Climax Mfg.
Co., Castorland, N. Y., called on the
trade last week. Mr. Murphy, of N. F.
McCarthy & Co., Boston, was a visitor
also.

C. W. Sutherland, of Barnard, N. Y.,
is cutting some exceptionally fine Peer-
less Pink asters. The stems are extra
long. Mr. Sutherland finds no difficulty
in disposing of them.

The W. E. Kirchhoff Co., of Pem-
broke, N. Y., is shipping in choice
gladioli, which sell well. Frank Pen-
dleton, Jr., is particularly good.

of the artistic arrangement of palms
and ferns, but for the symbolic thought
carried out with the children in the
car. A young girl dressed as an angel
sat in the back of the car holding chif-
fon ribbons running to the tfiwer girls
on the front of the running boards, and
then on to two smaller girls seated on

OBITUARY

George J. Walther, Sr.

George J. Walther, Sr,, founder of
the business now conducted under the
name Of his son^ George, Jr., on Sixty-
third street, Chicago, 111,, died late on
Wednesday evening, September 1, at
the Walther homestead on Lowe ave-
nue, at the age of 77 years. " Though
he had been in feeble health for the
previous two years and had done little
active work during that time, he was
not supposed to be dangerously ill un-
til latfe* February, when he suffered a
stroke -'which the physician said was
due to a hemorrhage of the brain. A
third stroke of the same nature was
the imiafidiate cause of his death.

He wjl^'^orn near Darmstadt, in the
province of Hesse, Germany, October
29, 1837, «nd came to America when
15 y*ft£*^^^of age. After residing in
New Jt^nc state about a year, he jour-
neyed^'^mf^Ctly to Chicago and settled
on the north side of the city. While
living there, he was married, June 6,
1865, to J^ifls Mary Selig, who survives
him. Iji "1873 — two years after the
great Chicago fire — he removed to the
south side, where he shortly afterward
bought a tract of ground on Lowe
avenue, in Englewood. There he
started business as a vegetable gar-
dener and built the residence which
has been the Walther home for the
last thirty-three years.

In 1883 and 1884 he erected several
greenhouses, but he continued to de-
vote his attention chiefly to vegetables
until about ten years later. Then he
began the growing of flowers, which
soon became his main crop. He opened
his first store in 1893. About fifteen
years ago he retired from the manage-
ment of the business, placing it in
charge of a son and a daughter, George,
Jr., and Louise L. The younger man
has become one of the best known
figures in the Chicago market and in
the Chicago trade generally. The
senior Walther, however, did not then
withdraw entirely from the business,
but concentrated his energies at the
greenhouses and grounds, where he
actively superintended the production
of the crops until his health began to
fail, about two years ago.

The funeral services were held at his
home, Saturday afternoon, Septem-
ber 4. The unusually large attendance
and the abundance of floral offerings
bore testimony to the high esteem in
which he was held. The surviving
members of the family, besides those
already mentioned, are Anna A. and

Richard D, Griffin,

Richard D. Griffin, one of the lead-
ing members of the Albany Florists '
< lub, died August 26 at his home, 192
Second street, Albany, N, Y., after
a few days' illness from pneumonia.
The deceased was born in Albany fifty-
seven years ago. He entered the city
fire department when a young man, but
later was employed by the bureau of

parks as assistant gardener. Follow-
ing a change in political administra-
tion, he left the city service and se-
cured employment as gardener for
several large estates, which work he
continued until the time of his death.
Mr. Griffin is survived by his wife, a
son, Russell, and a daughter, Mrs. J.
Linden.

Eugene W. O'Hara.

Eugene W. O'Hara, of Los Angeles,
Cal., was instantly killed by the acci-
dental discharge of his shotgun, Sep-
tember 2, when starting from San
Bernardino, Cal., on a hunting trip.
He was 53 years old, a native of Scot-
land, but born of Irish parents. For
many years he had charge of the
greenhouses and landscaping on large
private estates in the vicinity of
Boston and elsewhere, and he removed
to Portland, Ore., about ten years ago.
He took a position with the Portland
Seed Co., naving charge of its nursery
department. After serving eight years
in this position, he went to California
and in a short time entered the em-
ploy of Howard & Smith, of Los
Angeles. This position he held up to
the time of his death.

He owned a residence at Portland,
Ore., which he had not occupied since
the death of his wife, about five years
ago. He was active in organizing the
Portland Floral Society and was a
popular member, serving a term on the
board of trustees. His only known
relative is an aunt, who lives in south-
ern California. A Portland Masonic
lodge took charge of his remains.

S. W. W.

Edwin Lonsdale.

The brave old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men;
He led them up to the top of the hill,

Aud be led them down again.

A note of triumph rather than sad-
ness is expressed in the words of the
song he sang and loved so well. They
recur now, when it is meet to offer fit-
ting tribute to a noble life, full of
achievement and of warm-hearted
friendship — Edwin Lonsdale has gone
forth to meet his Creator.

A telegram from Los Angeles, Cal.,
brings tidings that Edwin Lonsdale
died in a hospital there Wednesday
afternoon, September 1, after a long
illness borne with great courage. These
are the plain facts. What do they
mean? That many, many of us who
are scattered all over this wide land
have lost a friend, a friend to whom
we could always turn for companion-
ship, sympathy and counsel; a friend
whose cheerful greeting and hearty
laugh won and held for him a warm
place in our hearts; a friend long to
be remembered.

Edwin Lonsdale was born in Shrews-
bury, England, October 6, 1845. His
boyhood days were spent at Shenstone.
When a lad he commenced work as a
gardener at Enville Hall, the country
seat of the Earl of Slainsford, one of
the great show places of England.
Stephen Taplin, brother of James and
uncle of William H. Taplin, was at that
time in charge of the grounds and
greenhouses at Enville Hall. Here this
lad had opportunity to develop his taste
and acquire knowledge in his chosen
calling.

Edwin Lonsdale came to America in
1869. He secured a position with
Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantown,
Philadolptia, but soon after returned to

England with the intention of going
into business with a partner in Lon-
don. This plan fell through. He re-
turned to this country in 1871, going
out to California. There he held posi-
tions with John H. Sievers in San
Francisco, and Mr. Rock in San Jose.
In 1873 Mr. Lonsdale returne'H to Phil-
adelphia and rented the Fletcher green-
houses, on Thorps Lane, Belfield. Here
he forced, roses and grew a general line
of plants for local consumption. When
there was a surplus he took his stock
to town and soon found that he got a
better price for it at wholesale in the
city stores than he did at retaU among
his neighbors. This suggested the idea
of growing especially for the wholesale
market. So, with his brother-in-law,
John Burton, who was renting green-
houses at Church and Chew streets,
Germantown, he decided to embark in
business on a more extensive scale.
Ground was purchased at Wyndmoor,
near Chestnut Hill, in 1882, and on it
were erected four greenhouses, 25 x 100
feet each, by the new firm of Lonsdale
& Burton. Each partner continued to
operate his leased greenhouses, a fore-
man being placed in charge of the new
property. The firm of Lonsdale & Bur-
ton was the first of the strictly whole-
sale cut flower and plant growers of
Philadelphia. Their affairs prospered,
more greenhouses were built, then two
fine dwellings, when first one partner
and then the other came there to live.
Roses, notably American Beauty, were
the leading crop. There were other
things, palms, carnations and smilax,
all in wholesale quantities.

Mr. Lonsdale was always fond of try-
ing new things. One of his great suc-
cesses was made at this time with the
hybrid perpetual rose, Mme. Gabriel
Luizet. Mr. Lonsdale saw the possi-
bilities of this beautiful rose with the
perfect foliage. He secured a stock,
planted it out in solid beds in the green-
house and made a hit with it. Its pop-
ularity lasted for four or five years,
high prices being realized by the firm
for the blooms. With carnations Mr.
Lonsdale was extremely successful, both
as a grower and as a hybridizer. To his
skillful work with the camel 's-hair brush
we owe many beautiful seedlings. Grace
Battles, a lively light pink flower of
good size and fragrance, was in its day
a great carnation; so, too, was Helen
Keller, a large white with carmine
markings.

The firm of Lonsdale & Burton dis-
solved in 1887, Mr. Burton, retaining
the greenhouses and the eastern portion
of the property, while Mr. Lonsdale
took the western portion and built new
greenhouses and a dwelling thereon.
The remarks made at that time by
those considered as in a position to
know seem funny now. They said that
the firm had been successful, but would
they do well in the future? With their
energies divided and double the amount
of glass, would the places prosper? It
was doubtful. They did prosper, never-
theless. Both places produced fine
stock and increased their glass area.
Mr. Lonsdale continued his hybridiz-
ing with plants, producing some not-
able crotons. Two of his best seedlings,
Robert Craig and Edwin Lonsdale, are
among our standard varieties today. He
was continually trying new plants, pay-
ing a high price for small plants or cut-
tings, or seeds that he believed to pos-
sess merit, growing them, and, if they
came up to his expectations, distribut-

ing tb«m. Swainsona galegifolia alba
owes its American popularity to Mr.
Lonsdale, who grew it and recom-
mended it as a good plant for general
cultivation where fine white flowers
were desired. Mr. Lonsdale first ex-
hibited Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in
Philadelphia, marking it "Not a cen-
tury plant, but a plant of the century, ' '
to the delight of his friends. Begonia
Lonsdale, a selection of Begonia Lor-
raine, now a fixed type, owes its per-
petuation to him. These are just a few
instances of the many plants that owed
something to Mr. Lonsdale. In some it
was their origin; in others, their fixed
identity through- selection and propaga-
tion. Geraniums, fuchsias, cannas, all
claimed a share of his attention.

Among his fellow men Mr. Lonsdale
was always popular. Every office where
work for their mutual advantage or
leadership was required, was his in
time: Secretary of the Germantown
Horticultural Society, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society,
secretary and president of the Philadel-
phia Florists' Club, president of the
American Carnation Society, "the pick
of floral presidents, the president of
pinks;" president of the Society of
American Florists, were all offices that
Mr. Lonsdale filled with credit. His
speech in the S. A. F. convention, jvhen
the question of a nominating commit-
tee and a secret ballot was up for dis-
cussion, is still remembered. Mr. Lons-
dale arose and with an emphatic ges-
ture of his own said, "Let everything
be open and aboveboard," and sat
down. The house was with him and the
motion was lost. As a horticultural
writer Mr. Lonsdale takes high rank.
He assisted in organizing the first trade
paper and was a frequent contributor to
its columns, and to many other papers.
His reply to Grove P. Eawson on the
subject of foliage burning is historic.

There are few men who have suffered
as Edwin Lonsdale suffered. The loss of
two, and then a third, lovely flower from
his home, misplaced confidence, business
embarrassment that led to the loss of
that home itself, were blows of terri-
ble force. Then it chanced that Girard
College needed a gardener, » man of
ability. It was said that no one man
ever had so many letters of high recom-
mendation written for him as had
Edwin Lonsdale for the position at
Girard College. The amount of wire-
pulling was tremendous. When the
trustees of Girard College appointed
Edwin Lonsdale gardener, every florist
in Philadelphia felt that the appoint-
ment was directly due to his own in-
dividual efforts and was modestly glad
it was so. Mr. Lonsdale did good work
at the college, proving a worthy suc-
cessor to George Huster. His decora-
tions of the tomb of Stephen Girard,
his croton beds, his schizanthus and his
fuchsias, will be remembered with
pleasure. Six years ago W. Atlee
Burpee invited him to go to Lompoc,
Cal., to grow sweet peas and other
plants for seed. He accepted. It would
be better out there in that balmy cli-
mate for Mrs. Lonsdale, he said, and
Mr. Burpee had been kind. Philadel-
phia gave a great farewell dinner that
was really wonderful. Everybody was
there to wish God-speed to the dear old
Duke of York and the evening was a
happy one.

Out in Lompoc valley Edwin Lons-
dale strove to improve a farm until it
became a garden where seed production

and seed tests could be conducted under
the most favorable conditions. He con-
tinued his hybridizing. One of his re-
cent letters spoke of a new color in
the petunia. Despite ill health, his let-
ters up to a month ago were always
cheerful, though recognizing the se-
riousness of his condition. Perhaps
Tennyson's beautiful lines may come to
us as from him:

Twilight and eTenlng bell.

And after that the dark.
And may there be no sadness of farewell

When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of time and place

The fl(K>d may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar.

Joseph J. Bechamps.

Joseph J. Bechamps died unexpect-
edly, on Labor day, September 6, at
his home, 300 State street. Flushing,
N. Y. Mr. Bechamps succumbed to
arteriosclerosis on the day preceding
his seventy-sixth anniversary. He was
an extensive grower of carnations at
his Bayside greenhouses, where he had
been in business for thirty-three years.
The products of his 30,000 square feet
of glass he had shipped exclusively to
J. K. Allen, of New York, for more
than twenty-two years.

Mr. Bechamps is survived by two
daughters and three sons, who will
continue the business. Burial was made
Thursday, September 9.

John Bubach.

John Bubach, one of the most widely
known "knights of the grip" in the
florists' trade, died at Spring Valley,
N. Y., August 28, from hasty consump-
tion, and was buried August 31 in the

United States cemetery at Cypress
Hills, N. Y.

Mr. Bubach worked on the road for
Lion & Co., New York, for about ten
years; for Schloss Bros., New York, for
about two years, and for the McCallum
Co., Pittsburgh, for a year and a half.

WATER MAT CAUSE TROUBLE.

What is the matter with the enclosed
specimen of Asparagus Sprengeri, and
what is a remedy for it?

T. E. & S.— Ind.

Without any particulars as to the
conditions under which the asparagus
is growing or the treatment it has re-
ceived, it is not easy to say what has
caused the trouble, but the condition
of the specimen would seem to indicate
that something is wrong with the
water supply.

Do you get your water from a city
supply, and does the water company
use chloride of lime in its filters? In
the absence of further data, it seems
probable that something of this char-
acter ma^ have done such an injury.

WORTHLESS A SECOND YEAR.

If Paper White narcissi, Roman hya-
cinths and giganteums are forced for
flowers next winter, and if they are
taken out and planted in the field in
the spring, will they bloom again in the
following fall if taken up and put in
the house and forced? A. F. C. — Miss.

No. These bulbs are of little value
for planting out, and are absolutely
worthless for forcing purposes a second
year. 0. W.

Not a few subscribers save themselves
the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill* that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

The selection of Houston for the 1916
S. A. F. convention has caused another
wave of discussion similar to that which
followed the vote to meet in San Fran-
cisco. There is every reason to sup-
pose the society will, as yiears go by,
hold many meetings in cities remote from
the principal trade centers, and no real
reason that The Review knows of why
it should not do so. The most important
work of the society now is done by the
executive board, but the organization can
no doubt arouse greater interest and do
most good by meeting in many distant
places instead of meeting constantly
within a limited radius.

PROSPERITY COMING.

"Business revival will be slow, but
th ) country*^ greatest era of prosper-
ity will soon dawn," said William A.
Law, president of the American Bank-
ers' Association, in a recent interview.
' ' A banner crop movement will further
increase the volume of bank reserves,
already abnormal. The country faces
labor problems never known, including
unprecedented labor shortage conse-
quent to revived business. The present
upset of business and national wave of
economy 'V^ill disappear. Business im-
provement has already slightly begun
and will continue to its full revival
and marvelous prosperity."

IMPORTS MORE LIKELY.

A degree of relaxation is apparent
in the British blockade against German
commerce, as a result, no doubt, of the
change in Germany's submarine policy.
Not only is it easier to get permits for
the shipment of Belgian products, such
as azaleas, through Holland, but the
authorities are less skeptical when
American importers seek to convince
them of the ownership of articles of
German origin. It seems at the mo-
ment that the situation has greatly im-
proved, with the prospect that the
trade will be able to procure many ar-
ticles of European origin that it had
been thought we must do without.

The Market.

We are reminded of an editorial
printed August 1, 1914, in a trade
paper little read in the west, which,
appearing just before the Boston con-
vention, was published for the evident
purpose of keeping the members of the
S. A. F. from voting to hold its 1915
convention in San Francisco. "Few
would enjoy the heat of the railroad
journey in August. Arrived at San
Francisco, how many would care to sit
in meeting when there were so many
wonderful sights to be seen on the out-
side? What would become of the
trade exhibition?" Those are words
that were used. But the S. A. F. did
hold its 1915 convention in San Fran-
cisco in spite of that editor's effort
to prevent it, and today it would be
a pleasure to read his eulogiums of the
meeting except for the suspicion that

in almost any reasonable quantity, and
the early white, Smith 's Advance,
though leaa abundant, is in fair sup-
ply. They sell, but there is nothing
approaching a demand for them. There
is no inconsiderable quantity of Easter
lilies on the market and much of it is
excellent stock," but finds almost no
demand. Eubrum lilies and tuberoses
also adorn the tables of the wholesalers.

Seasonable stock, which is a most
useful commodity when standard stock
is scarce, suffers accordingly when
roses are plentiful. So the dahlias, cos-
mos and the others of their ilk, though
none too abundant, are experiencing
little demand.

Greens of all kinds and in any quan-
tity are in the market, and there they
remain for the most part.

Labor day was quite generally
observed in the trade. Although many
of the houses remained open until well
along in the afternoon, a number of
them closed at 12 o'clock. In previous
years the wholesale houses have kept
open, but this year the postoffice made
not even one delivery, which resulted
in a number of orders for Monday ship-
ment not being received until Tuesday.

August Weather.

In certain ways August was unusual-
ly favorable for florists, and in certain
ways unfavorable. There was only
fifty-one per cent of the possible sun-
shine, against sixty-nine per cent as an
average. The records of the weather
bureau show the mean temperature,
66.6 degrees, was the lowest August
mean within the records of the weather
bureau beginning in 1871. The mean
temperature for the summer, as a
whole, averaged lower than in any pre-
vious year with the single exception of
1875. The highest temperature was 86
degrees, and the lowest 47 degrees, the
latter being a record for low tempera-
ture in August. The maximum did not
reach 90 degrees on any day this sea-
son, and it was only in 1875 that a
similar record was made. The August
rainfall, 4.33 inches, totaled consider-
ably above the seasonal normal, as in
the previous three months. The per-
centage of sunshine was lower than in
any previous August.

There is nothing like traveling about

has tried it. While in California with
his family last month, he made note of
all the attractive stores, both florists'
and otherwise, that he saw. By con-
sistently doing this in the various
cities and always exercising his pre-
rogative of asking questions, Mr.

Four well defined seasons a year,
even if they do not always come in the
same order, are much to be preferred to
the perpetual balminess of an eternal
summer, in the opinion of Miss Agatha
M. Greeley, of the John Kruchten Co.,
who says she never appreciated the
beauties, advantages and homey atmos-
phere of Chicago until she got away
from them. This appreciation she ranks
as of more real value to her than any-
thing she saw on her trip to the Pacific
coast.

Alois Frey, while at Los Angeles,
planted a quantity of his Rainbow
freesias, as A. Henderson named them,
to test bulb growing there.

Just for the experience, Joseph
Foerster accompanied Charles Hartwig
on a trip to the Moline automobile
factory last week. They made the
journey in Mr. Foerster 's Moline-
Knight car.

right at the start of
the season some of
the new kinds of

roses, and watch how quick they will come back for more. They want to see different roses — different
colorings, and if you are the first to show them, you get the business. People have seen Killarneys
for years and are tired of them. Killarney is a splendid rose, and will always be used extensively for
making up, etc., but as a gift rose the newer kinds are more attractive.

Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst, etc., we are now cutting in large quantity, and
selling at very moderate prices — 3 cents to 6 cents for these new kinds. Or we are making up the
assorted boxes which were so successful with us last year at $5.00 and $10.00 A liberal count, well
assorted, of the new roses, in either priced box.

The fact that the August sales of the
A, L. Eandall Co. ran ahead of last
year is affording F. M. Johnson much
pleasure. It will be remembered that
in August, 1914, nearly everyone was
anxious to lay in a stock of florists'
supplies and it was much the largest
August the Randall concern had known
up to that time.

Returning from his summer home on
Lake Marie, W. J. Smyth again is to be
found devoting his full time to busi-
ness.

The Misses Marguerite McNulty, of
Peter Reinberg's store staff, and Nettie
Parker, secretary of A. T. Pyfer & Co.,
have returned from their tour of the
Pacific coast, which included attend-
ance at the S. A. F convention. They
had a memorable outing.

Fred Ronsley, in the Westminster
building, began this week with his fall
decorating. The cashier's desk will be
moved to make room for a larger dis-
play space in his window and a fresh
coat of white enamel will add much to
the store and fixtures. Next month Mr.
Ronsley will have an announcement of
considerable importance to make.

Garden flowers now are selling much
better than in July and August, ac-
cording to Erne & Klingel, who have
made a specialty of such stock this
summer. Larkspur is said to be a par-
ticularly good seller.

September 4 was opening day for
Arthur Weatherwax, who is starting in
business for himself at 428 East Forty-

employ of W. J. Smyth. He calls the
place the Drexel Flower Shop because
of his proximity to the boulevard.

"HALTI"-

cried the old man, as he looked up
from the war news.

"Yes, sir." answered the buyer,
with due military alacrity.

"Now is the time to order your
Chiffons, Ribbons and all other sup-
plies."

" Why should I ? " argued the buyer
—buyers always dislike being told
when or how they should do aaything,
even though it be for their own good.
'. "Because," said the old man, sagely,
"all of the florists' supplies are either
imported or would be affected by a
shut-off on imported goods. In either
case the prices are apt to be forced up
any time." So saying, the old man
started back to his sanctum.

" I say, young man, you'd better try

Eennicott's Quality Cuts before you
place the season's order anywhere
else. They have installed a new
Chiffon and Ribbon department. If
they're as satisfactory in those sup-
plies as they are in Wire Designs (and
they are) that is the house to place
your season's order with."

"All right, sir," said the buyer (but,
as buyers are apt to do, he was about
to put the matter off)—

" My boy, make out that trial order
now, and send it, before you forget, to
Kennicott Bros. Co., 163 N. Wabash
Avenue— that's the address. Yes, of
course, Chicago."

The old man seldom makes mis-
takes. The same contract prices and
satisfying values will be given to you.

Weiland, Evanston, secretary of the
Chicago Flower Growers' Association.

There are, perhaps, many advantages
attaching to a cool summer. For one
thing, it has, in the opinion of George
Chronis, of Johnson & Chronis, Forty-
seventh street and Lake Park avenue,
been responsible for their experiencing
the most successful summer season in
the history of the firm.

An exceedingly attractive building is
being erected by Albert Fuchs at the
northwest corner of Broadway and
Grace street, almost on the site of the
greenhouses he ran for many years.
The cost is placed at about $400,000.
The building is in the German medieval
style of architecture with its character-
istic gable treatment. It will have a
frontage of ItO feet on Broadway and
268 feet on Grace street. The first floor
will contain a theater with a seating
capacity of 1,800, said to be the largest
outside of the loop district; ten stores,
and a buffet and restaurant. The sec-
ond floor will be occupied by offices
and ballrooms, while the third will be
occupied by bowling alleys and billiard
room and will contain twenty-two
alleys and twenty-two tables. There
will be parking space for 150 auto-
mobiles.

Robert Newcomb is traveling for the
W. W. Barnard Co.

Henry Buchbinder, of Buchbinder
Bros., is to appear before the police
trial board to prosecute a city patrol-
man who is charged with entering the
Buchbinder establishment with a com-
panion while intoxicated and threaten-
ing and abusing Mr. Buchbinder.

The M. Weiland delivery truck driven
by Anton Thelang struck two boys on
a bicycle in Evanston September 7.
One of the boys was badly hurt.

Pending the completion of additional
cases to contain them, the present dis-
position of an unusually large ship-
ment of white doves creates the im-
pression on a visitor to the establish-
ment of Joseph Ziska & Sons that he
has inadvertently stepped into an
aviary.

From sorting roses to selling agri-
cultural implements is quite a radical
change. Yet this is just the move that
has been made by Tony Einweck, who
for several years has been employed in

The Profit From
Withered Flowers

The withered flower problem has always been a
loss to you— hasn't it? You never heard of it from
a profit stand point before.

The profit that is possible from withered flowers
is to sell the flowers before they spoil and are
thrown out. This is easily done through their proper
preservation in a

McCray Florist s
Refrigerator

Here the flowers are preserved at an even temperature and are
kept fresh and cool. No other refrigerating system is so efficient
as the McCray. It stops the loss from spoilage so common with
inadequate refrigeration.

In addition the McCray, with its beautiful plate glass doors
and sides permits an inviting and attractive display of the flowers.
The compartments are of different sizes to accommodate the various
lengths of stems.

The outside woodwork may be had in any finish to match
your store's interior. The linings may be secured in either plate
mirror or white enamel and are very attractive.

Make up your mind right now to increase your business and
decide upon a McCray Refrigerator to help you do it. Every
enterprising Florist needs a McCray. Write and learn why.

Visitors.

B. Eschner and Mrs. Esehner, of
Philadelphia, passed through Chicago
September 3 on their way home from
a tour of Alaska and the Pacific coast,
occupying nine weeks. Although in the
earlier days of the M. Eice Co. Mr.
Eschner gained a personal acquaintance
with retail florists by calling on them
in nearly all parts of the United States,
this was his first trip to the coast and
he and Mrs. Eschner both found it
highly enjoyable. In passing through
Chicago they had only time between
trains for one brief call at The Eeview
office.

Members of the Chicago trade were
visited last week by the following: Eli
Cross, Grand Eapids, Mich.; C. E.
Schaefer, of the La Crosse Floral Co.,
La Crosse, Wis.

BEADING, PA.

The Market.

Business showed a decided improve-
ment last week, with a daily increase
in funeral orders. The opening of the
three leading theaters, on Labor day,
called for many loads of palms, baskets
of cut flowers and floral horseshoes.
The wedding orders for October are
already large and will require the en-
gagement of an extra force of men.
Another welcome addition to the fall
trade will be the combined openings of
twenty-eight firms and the principal de-
partment stores next week. For this
occasion the florists are well prepared.
Palms will predominate as decorations.

Cut flowers are plentiful, especially
asters, which have become a glut in the
market. Gladioli sell well, as the sup-
ply is far less than the demand. Eoses
are fairly plentiful, with Eussell selling
best. Carnations have not yet made
their appearance. Dahlias are as yet
in poor supply. Golden Glow chrysan-
themums find little demand and must
go at low figures. Early chrysanthe-
mums are not readily salable in this
section.

Layton Butts, of Wyomissing, has
started a rose boom in this city, which
is a welcome visitor. He is cutting

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The week shows several changes.
Roses shortened in supply under the
influence of cool weather, really good
stock selling well. Then came warmer
weather, bringing in heavier supplies,
with depressing effect. Asters were in
oversupply. Many were damaged. The
general condition of the aster market
was bad. Valley lilies continue short
of the demand, making a firm, rather
active market with good prices. Easter
lilies have also fared well. Cattleyas
are high in price, with prospects of a
decline on increased receipts. Gladiolus
America has been in pretty good de-
mand. Golden Glow chrysanthemums
have not sold well. Dahlias are com-
ing into season. Some fine stock is
beginning to meet with favor from
the buyers. There has been a fair
amount of shipping for these. Beau-
ties, the finer grades of other roses,
valley and occasionally cattleyas have
been in request.

Labor day was generally observed in
this city. Most of the wholesale houses,
though not all, and many of the retail
stores were closed at noon, curtailing
business, or perhaps it would be more
accurate to say that the holiday cur-
tailed business so the stores closed for
lack of something to do and the work-
ers had a chance to enjoy themselves.

Current Events.

The death of Edwin Lonsdale, which
occurred in Los Angeles, Cal., Septem-
ber 1, is keenly felt in this city. Mr.
Lonsdale made friends of all who knew
him. His hearty greeting and jolly
laugh will be sadly missed from our
gatherings. One of our most success-
ful business men remembers how, on his

first appearance at the Florists' Club,
it was Mr. Lonsdale who came to him
and made him welcome so that he
quickly felt at home. Another recalls
how, when illness deprived him of his
foreman, it was Mr. Lonsdale who sent
an expert to look after his place so
that nothing suffered. Still another of
our leading men tells how Mr. Lonsdale,
with patient care, taught his son the
art of hybridizing, as he taught many
other young men the finer points of

gardening. Surely, such a life has ele-
vated the standard of our profession
and of the men who follow it.

special train to Andalusia, while the
other side advised the beholders to
"Always sow Michell's evergreen grass
seed." It was clear why this advice
was given when the heavily laden spe-
cial reached Andalusia, for it would be
hard to find a finer lawn than the
great stretch along the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks that fronts the Michell
farm. The effect of the lawn is superb.
There are eight large beds of cannas,
each containing 1,200 plants of one
variety, and smaller beds of choice ever-
greens set out in this vast stretch of
velvet green tract. The finest stand-
ard varieties, like King Humbert, Mrs.
Alfred F. Conard and Gustav Gump-
per, were in these beds. They were a
sheet of bloom. At the entrance was a
large trial bed of cannas, where many
more sorts were showing their mettle.

On the hill beyond the lawn the col-
lation was served to nearly a thousand
guests, gardeners, florists, members of
the various suburban horticultural so-
cieties and their wives and daughters.
It was a great gathering.

Back of the lawn is the practical
part of the farm, the trial grounds and
fields of growing stock; 400 varieties
of perennials, half a dozen of each
variety, furnish material for a week's
study; a like field of roses bordered
by climbers; acres of hardy phloxes,
dahlias, irises, peonies, sage, and over
beyond the greenhouse .range seems to
be greatly increased for the hardy

roses. Surely the house of Michell has
something to show and is showing it
well, as every one in that throng of
happy guests wiU gladly testify.

Various Notes.

The funeral of Edwin Lonsdale took
place from the residence of his brother-
in-law, John Burton, Wednesday after-
noon, September 8. Men prominent in
all branches of the profession were
present in full force to pay their last
tribute of respect. There were many
beautiful floral offerings. The inter-
ment was at Ivy Hill cemetery.

Kobert Pyle, president of the Con-
ard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., gave
a most interesting account of his visit
to the San Francisco and San Diego
expositions at the September meeting
of the Florists' Club. The officers who
have served so well in 1915 were re-
nominated for 1916. Besolutions on
the death of Edwin Lonsdale were
adopted.

Kecent visitors include Myer Gott-
lieb, New York city; Herman Waren-
dorff, of the Ansonia, New York city;
H. F. Littlefield, Worcester, Mass., and
Miss Tillie Held, with Charles Held,
Baltimore, Md.

W. E. Fowler is no longer with the
Highland Eose Co. Mr. Fowler has
been manager of the company's plant
at Morton, Pa., for thirteen years.

Eenard Bros, have taken over the Mill-
brook Lea Greenhouses, at Whitford,

Pa. This firm is composed of two
brothers, G. W. Renard, who has green-
houses at Avondale, Pa., and Henry
Renard, who has greenhouses at Down-
ingtown. Pa. Both brothers will con-
tinue to operate their present plants.
An three plants specialize on carna-
tions. They took charge of the Mill-
brook place September 6.

W. J. Baxter, formerly with the
Moore Seed Co., will assist W. J. Muth
in looking after the interests of the
King Construction Co. in this terri-
tory.

William Landerer, lately with the Jo-
seph Heacock Co., at Roelofs, Pa., has
accepted the position of manager for
the Highland Rose Co., at Morton, Pa.

Berger Bros, are receiving some
choice dahlias, among them Bertha von
Suttner, a show pink with lavender
shading.

Verona & Steinhoff celebrated their
anniversary at the flower store of N.
Suellenberg & Co., September 3. Each
purchaser in the store on that day re-
ceived a coupon with a small bouquet
of flowers at the flower department.

Henry A, Dreer, Inc., has its annex
at 716 Chestnut street completely filled
with bulbs, Holland and French. The
stock is exceedingly fine, indicating a
great growing season abroad.

BENWELL'S ANNIYEBSABY.

Thomas J. Benwell completed fifty
years of service with A. H. Hews &
Co., the North Cambridge, Mass., pot
manufacturers, August 31. In recogni-
tion of his long and faithful service,
the directors presented him with $50
in gold. Mr. Benwell hails from Birming-
ham, England, where he was born in
1851. He had the unusual experience
of crossing the Atlantic three times in
sailing vessels with his father before
he was 2 years of age. In 1865 he
started work with the Hews Co., at
the plant in Weston, Mass. In those
days the output of pots averaged 5,000
weekly and it was his duty and that
of another boy to watch the pots,
which were all dried outdoors, and if
any rain happened along the pots had
to be picked up and carried under
cover.

In 1869 A. H. Hews & Co. moved
to North Cambridge, where they are

Thomas J. Benwell.

now located. It is interesting to note
the difference in the output now and
fifty years ago. Last year 20,000,000
pots were sold. Machinery was first
used in the manufacture of pots in
1869 and George Wilson, of Maiden,
bought the first load of machine-made
pots.

Mr. Benwell has been on the road
as a salesman for the firm for over
thirty years and there are few in the
trade in New England who do not
know his honest and ever cheery coun-
tenance. The loss of his right arm a
number of years ago, which would
have made many men despondent, has
made no difference to the geniality and
cheerfulness of our friend. W, N. C.

flowers delivered to my best girl in

The National Florist at Cleveland

The Market.

Scranton last week had the honor of
entertaining the delegates to the en-
campment of the Spanish-American
War Veterans. The largest military
parade Scranton has ever seen was
held August 31. It is estimated that
over 100,000 people witnessed the
parade. The florists were kept busy
with corsage work for the military ball.
All our flower stores had their windows
decorated for the convention.

Funeral work was good the first part
of last week, but dropped off the latter
part. The market is glutted with as-
ters, which are sold at from 50 cents
to $2 per hundred. Good sweet peas
are about done for. Easter lilies are
good. Roses also are plentiful. Good
valley is scarce.

Various Notes.

Muir & Co. had a large flag in their
window, made of red, white and blue
immortelles. Mrs. M. Muir is spending
two weeks at Buffalo.

Baldwin last week cut the first
Golden Glow mums that I have seen
this season. He is cutting about 2,000
asters daily at the Wyoming farm.

John Dymond, of Clarks Summit, is
cutting some fine cactus dahlias.

John W. Beagle reports a heavy call
for Boston ferns. He is cutting some
fine Easter lilies.

Miss Anna Griffiths, of the West Side
Floral Shop, reports a busy week with
funeral work.

Miss Copper, with Schultheis, has re-
turned from a two weeks' vacation.

Wm, MacDonald, of Moosic, is cut-
ting some fine new carnations and his
mums look promising. Mr. MacDon-

PITTSBUBGH.

The Market.

The month of August closed about
like any other August, and September
has started out with enough stock to
do a fine business if it could all be
sold. The only scarcity is in valley and
white roses, but these will come along
in a few days. There are no carna-
tions, but gladioli and asters are plen-
tiful and occasionally some one sends
along a bunch of early chrysanthe-
mums, for which there is no demand.

The wholesale houses all seem fairly
active, but there is not much evidence
of an increase in orders. The retailers
■ay the outdoor flowers are still taking
eare of the regular customers and they
are still depending on funeral work for
business. The torn up condition of
our streets almost puts some of our re-
tailers out of business and it will be
October before they have finished.

Various Not^s.

Almost everyone has had his vacation
and is trying to get settled to business
except Harvey Sheaf, manager for
Mrs. E. A. Williams, who is in Phila-
delphia and New York and goes from
there to San Francisco via New Or-
leans, hoping to return by the time
trade is nicely under way.

The employees of Bandolph 8c Mc-
Clements, including the ladies, were the
guests of Walter Breitenstein, one eve-
ning last week, at his bungalow at
Sandy Creek and the event was a corn
roast and an outdoor dinner. All re-
port a splendid time.

P. S. Randolph & Sons have been
making a feature of gladioli this
summer.

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is
■hipping large quantities of field-
grown carnation plants. Clarke.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Business has been good, with plenty
of flowers to supply the demand. The
new crop of carnations is coming in
and the flowers are good. Dahlias and
gladioli are plentiful. Hoses are in big
crop. A little fire was needed August
30 and 31, as the temperature dropped
to 47 degrees, the coldest weather we
ever had in August.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel & Sons are having
a good cut of roses and outdoor stock,
with a good demand. Their mums and
carnations are coming along well. Fred
Chapman, of this firm, has had as visi-
tors his .daughter, Mrs. J. E. Rhodes,
and son, of the Capital City Floral Co.,
Madison, Wis. During their stay they

saw considerable to interest them. On
one "occasion Mr. Niednagel "gave them
the use of one of the Niednagel ma-
chines and a trip to Newburg was
made. The party called on Otto
Kuebler and inspected his greenhouses.

Royston & Fenton are cutting a nice
crop of roses. They have discarded
Bridesmaid and planted' Killarney and
Ward in its place.

The Blackman Floral Co. is cutting
the first crop of indoor carnations. The
carnations in the field are giving good,
salable flowers. The rose crop is heavy,
fine American Beauty and Killarney
being cut. The newer roses are doing
well. Business is good. This firm
furnished a large number of bouquets
of roses for a local shoe firm, which
were given to its patrons. '

Lunkenheimer & Blackman, a queen 's-
ware firm, was recently incorporated for
$25,000. The members of the firm are
Mr. Lunkenheimer, James Blackman
and George Blackman. E. L. F.

Joplin, Mo. — The Joplin -Galena
Greenhouse Co. has filed articles of in-
corporation, with a paid in capital of
$15,000, divided into shares of $1 each.
The corporation has other greenhouses

Business was good last week, the
cool weather making trade quite brisk.
A considerable volume of funeral work
kept all the downtown florists busy.
Bodes, especially white, are scarce. All
varieties are good, but the foliage of
Mock and Killarney is poor and mil-
dewed. Asters are fair; the white va-
rieties are scarce. The supply of
asters cleans up each day as fast as
it comes in. The good varieties bring
a reasonable price. Gladioli still are
coming. Americas are smaller than
they have been. There are a few car-
nations shown. They are small, short
of stem and pale in color. The assort-
ment of cut flowers is becoming some-
what meager, for garden flowers and
sweet peas have gone.

The gladiolus supply is fast lessen-
ing, and prices are up to $1 and $2
per hundred. The latter figure, how-
ever, is only for the novelties and
America. The flood of asters is at
high tide. Everything mediocre is al-
most unsalable. Some excellent stock
comes in that is well worth twice what
is asked for it. The dahlia shipments
are already large, but no demand what-
ever has yet materialized.

Valley was higher September 4.
Orchids hold their values well, and the
supply is certain to increase soon.
There are many Golden Glow mums in
the windows, the usual supply of
tritomas, outdoor stock of many kinds,
and the finest Hydrangea paniculata
grandiflora ever seen in New York.

four and one-half months in California

The Market.

In spite of midsummer-like weather,
business is a little better than a week
ago. The gladiolus glut is rapidly
passing and prices on this flower have
improved. Asters, thanks to the spell
of clear, warm weather, are of im-
proved quality. They are arriving in
great numbers, however, more than
the market can gorge. Eoses have suf-
fered somewhat from the heat and a
good many short-stemmed flowers have
been cleared at low prices. White
roses have been in strong demand at
advanced prices, chiefly because few
were coming in. Beauties for the sea-
son are remarkably good. The best
make $20 per hundred. Of the newer
roses, Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia are
popular.

stemmed and compare unfavorably tpith
asters. Golden Glow mums arrive from
a few growers, but there is no rush
to buy them. Sweet peas are few and
of inferior quality. Cosmos is seen on
a number of stands, but sells poorly

Some good valley is seen, but the ma-
jority is of inferior quality. The cat-

wholesale flower industry came in for
unstinted praise.

F. J. Dolansky is already cutting
some Cattleya labiata. He also has
some nice Odontoglossum grande.

S. E. Spencer, of the Brooklands
Gardens, Woburn, is sending to A.
Hastings a grand lot of Schwaben
gladioli and other good novelties.
These are selling quite well.

Peter Fisher and M. A. Patten have
been spending a few days at Bar
Harbor, Me., and enjoyed immensely
the glorious scenery and things of
horticultural interest on the island of
Mount Desert.

Jackson Dawson, September 4, com-
pleted forty-four years of service as
superintendent of the Arnold Ar-
boretum. He looks hale and hearty,
although now nearing his seventy-fifth
year, and is a veritable encyclopedia
of everything pertaining to hardy
plants.

J. T. Butterworth has imported a
large additional batch of Cattleya Miss
Williams from England. He finds this
one of the finest orchids for blooming at
a time when cattleyas are scarce. He
also has a fine lot of Cattleya Har-
risoniffi, in addition to odontoglossums
and phalaenopsis.

The wholesale markets now are open
until 5 p. m. Saturdays. The half
holiday prevailing in July and August
might well have been continued through
the present month for all the business
there is.

Indications point to a large attend-
ance at the field day of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club with the Breck-
Robinson Co. at the Lexington nurs-
eries September 11. At the club meet-
ing September 21, in addition to the
local speakers, M. C. Ebel, secretary
of the National Association of Gar-
deners, will be present. The next con-
vention of the N. A. G. will, it is ex-
pected, be held in Boston.

William Sim, one of our largest and
most successful growers of gladioli, is
nearly done cutting for this season.
With indoor tomatoes he has had a
most successful season. His single
violets look fine in the field.

Thomas Eoland has two of his large
Revere houses planted with roses,
26,000 in all. He is trying Hoosier
Beauty among new varieties. Among
older sorts are Hadley, Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Killarney and Bussell.

Boston sent a small delegation to the
San Francisco convention and from
comment it will not be any larger at
Houston in 1916. It will be good for
the south to have the convention there,
but 'a trip south in mid- August is not
attractive to northerners and I am of
the opinion that the attendance of
New England members will be as dis-
appointing as at San Francisco.

The writer received a letter from
Wallace R. Pierson at Adler Sana-
torium, San Francisco, this week. Mr.
Pierson 's many friends in this section
will be glad to know that he is im-
proving wonderfully and hopes to be
better than ever. He says the time
spent in convalescing has been the hap-
piest of his life, thanks to the kind-
nesses of a host of friends.

Thomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills, is
already sending in a nice lot of
Beacon, Alice and other carnations.

The Market.

Business last week was not rushing.
The wholesale market was in an excel-
lent condition, as all seasonable stock
was plentiful and of better quality.
Retailers, however, did not buy heav-
ily, and some of the large consign-
ments that came in were left over.

Roses in all varieties are plentiful
and are greatly improved in quality.
The bulk of the roses, however, have
short stems, especially the Killarney
varieties. Russell, Hadley and Kaiserin
have better flowers and longer stems.
Beauties are in splendid shape and

the supply equals the demand. Prices
are quite low for the quality oflfered.
Carnations are showing improvement
in both size and stem. The supply of
asters far exceeds the demand. Extra
fancy sells at $3 per hundred and or-
dinary stock is sold as low as $5 per
thousand. There was a big reduction
in the supply of gladioli and tubergses.
Dahlias are coming in heavily and
some extra fancy are seen daily, but
they meet a small demand. A few vio-
lets are in, but as yet have little call.
The quality is poor. Lilies and valley
hold their own. Cosmos is scarce, but
large consignments are looked for.
Greens are in good demand.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation held its monthly meeting Sep-
tember 1, at the Eleven Mile House.
The meeting was the largest attended
of the year. All officers were present,
and much important business was dis-
posed of. The heads of the five whole-
sale houses, C. A, Kuehn, H. G. Berning,
W. C. Smith, George H. Angermueller
and Frank Windier, were present, and
stated that their intentions were to
keep open all day after September 15,
with the exception of Sundays, on
which day they would be closed. This
plan was acceptable to the members of
the association.

John Steidle, of Olivette, has started
to consign his entire stock to H. G.
Berning. For many years Mr. Steidle
sold his output direct to Fred C.
Weber. His stock is classed among the
best coming to this market, especially
the roses and carnations.

Edward Kalisch, of Kalisch Bros.
Floral Co., who spent two weeks at
Sheboygan, Wis., on a fishing trip, re-
turned September 1. He visited Chi-
cago, Indianapolis and Cincinnati on
his way home.

Miss M. S. Newman's store, at
Spring and Olive streets, was opened for
business September 1. Miss Armstrong
returned from Colorado and attended
to the opening. Miss Newman, who
has spent two months in Colorado, is
expected home the end of this week.

Fred C. Weber, Jr., with Mrs. Weber
and son, has returned from a two
weeks' northern trip. Fred C. Weber,

ican Association of Park Superin-
tendents, en route from the convention
at San Francisco, arrived here Septem-
ber 4, and were taken in hand by
Superintendent Strehle for a ride
through the parks. After a luncheon
at the City Club, the party vyas taken
through Tower Grove park and the
Missouri Botanical Garden. A dinner
at the Sunset Inn completed a pleasant
day. J. J. B.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business shows an increase that
would make one believe that the fall
weather has arrived, although this is
partly due to the large amount of fu-
neral work. Stock is more plentiful
and of better quality, but most of the
good cut flowers are from the green-
houses; outdoor cut stock is becoming
poorer. The supply of roses is larger,
but they are well cleaned up before
the day ends. Prices are advancing a
little, but will not climb much more,
as the wholesalers have begun to re-
ceive some excellent Golden Glow
chrysanthemums, with a promise of
white chrysanthemums for next week.
Carnations are coming back to the
market, but their stems are extremely
short. Lilies became scarce during the
latter part of the week.

Various Notes.

A visit to A. F. Barbe's greenhouses
found stock in splendid shape. He has
one house of Killarney roses; three
houses of chrysanthemums, with all of
his Golden Glow showing color; four
houses of carnations, one house of
stocks and one house of snapdragons
and sweet peas. The rest of the space
is devoted to ferns and pot plants. He
reports business good for this time of
year.

T. J. Noll has returned from the Pa-
cific coast, where he attended the
S. A. F. convention. He says the trip
was delightful. He stopped at Denver
to make arrangements for stock.

Arthur Newell reports that business
is good and that funeral work is above
the average

The W. L. Eock Flower Co. had a re-
markably heavy run of country fu-
neral work last week. He says that
stock is improving greatly.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. is cutting some extra fine Golden
Glow chrysanthemums, the first of the
home-grown blooms. The firm is also
cutting some fine Beauties for this
time of year.

PrMldent, Jobn M. Lopton. Mattltnck. L. I.;
Recretary-Tieainrer, O. B. Kendel. OleTeund. O.

The relaxation of the British embargo
affords a prospect of the resumption of
imports- of German seeds.

The death of Edwin Lonsdale, man-
ager of W. Atlee Burpee's Floradale
Farm, at Lompoc, Cal., is recorded in
this week's obituary column.

The prospects for the usual imports of
lily of the valley pips are so poor that
holders of 1914 crop in good condition
are advancing prices to stretch the sup-
ply as far as possible.

Alarmist reports are out regarding
the frost damage to beans, estimates run-
ning all the way from fifteen to forty per
cent, but it should be. remembered that
things seldom turn out so bad as they
seem.

The retail department of the Central
Seed & Bulb Co., of Benton Harbor,
Mich., has been discontinued. E. S.
Thompson and his associates will devote
their energies toward developing the
wholesale end of the business, which
has been growing rapidly.

Augustus Caspees, seedsman, nursery-
man and florist, at Rochelle, 111., is mak-
ing preparations for adding a wholesale
and mail-order seed department to his
interests. Mr. Caspers says catalogue
and price lists will be ready for distri-
bution about January 1, 1916.

Some people still insist on the earliest
possible delivery of their giganteum lily
bulbs, in spite of the fact that the better
ripened stock is well known to be su-
perior, and the early shipments are on the
way, due shortly. The Japanese appear
to have the market under control, the crop
not being so large as last year.

J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb., stated
September 6: "We have just learned
from Rocky Ford, Colo., that the cucum-
ber prospects at that point are not nearly
80 good as they were ten days ago. At
that time there was a prospect of fifty
per cent of a crop as compared with last
year, last year's crop being unusually
large. Present prospects would indicate
not over twenty-five per cent of the crop
we had a year ago. ' '

Substitute articles of incorporation
have been filed by the Shugart-Ouren
Seed Co., of Council Bluffs, la., for the
purpose of making possible an increase
of capital stock from $50,000 to $100,-
000, and for other changes in the organi-
zation. The life of the corporation is
renewed for a period of ten years and
eight months from November 1, 1915.
C. G. Ouren, president, and J. D. Davis,
secretary, are the signers of the new
articles.

The Ollioules market for Paper Whites
has had more than the usual ups and
downs this season and the outcome is
awaited with interest. Those who held
the opening prices to be artificially high
felt their views confirmed by the fall in
price that soon took place, but almost
immediately the mdrket went up again.
Today the exporters say there will l^ no
surplus, but there are those on this side
of the water who look for a big break in

ASK CHANGE OF SEED BATES.

Bailroad rates on timothy seed are
the subject of a complaint to the In-
terstate Commerce Commission by the
Chas. H. Lilly Co., of Seattle, and the
Portland Seed Co., of Portland, against
the Northern Pacific railroad. It is
pointed out that the rates on the seed
from Lenore, Lewiston, VoUmer, Culde-
sac and Grayville, Idaho, to Washing-
ton and Oregon, were commodity rates
before June 30, 1915, being 40, 35, 58,
41 and 61 cents respectively. Since
then class rates have been charged to
Seattle and Portland, 58, 52, 76, 59 and
75 cents respectively. The rates from
Seattle to eastern points, such as Chi-
cago, St. Louis and Kansas City, were
not changed, and the rates from Le-
nore and the other points to Chicago,
St. Louis and Kansas City were also
vnchanged. It is alleged that the rates
on timothy seed westbound from these
points in Idaho to Seattle and Portland
are unreasonably disadvantageous to
Seattle and Portland to such an extent
as to be practically prohibitive, while
unduly advantageous to cities and lo-
calities east of the points named in
Idaho. The restoration of the former
rates is requested. E. H. P.

SEED GBOWINQ AT ATASCADEBO.

It has been reported that the Holding
Colony at Atascadero, near Arroyo
Grande, Cal., is making, or is about to
make, an important venture into the
flower seed business under the direction
of L. C. Routzahn, but Mr. Eoutzahn
states that he has nothing to do with
it except that at present he has crops
grown on contract there. He writes in
part:

"In regard to putting out flower
seeds at Atascadero, the facts are
these: The Routzahn 's Co. contracts
with the residents of the colony to raise
Breds. The plan does not differ from
our usual custom. In this instance
there simply are more people to con-
tract with. For several years we have
been working more into the European
method, and this is an enlarged oppor-
tunity along these lines. Of course
these small growers are furnished with
our own choice stock seed and the cul- I

ourselves and we take the product ex-

later on expects to take up the mail
order business, but with this, except
perhaps selling them some seeds, we
have no interest. They have some good

Woman verlu^
Mystery

(Continued from last week.)
At this point I judged myself an un-
sociable being, and could not explain
the situation to myself, and had no
hopes of clearing myself to the man in
the case.

I felt as flat as a cemetery slab or
a dead concrete slab; I finally re-
treated to my very comfortable room
and decorated my card with this in-
scription: "Dear Jimmy: I cannot see
you, simply can't explain. May." He
still carries the card, and, really, he
loves his wife better now than ever;
one good thing to my credit for the
welfare of my own sex. We defeated
Bachelor Girls never get a fair deal
anyway; if we meet one thousand peo-
ple, just exactly one thousand opinions
are formed; they can't all be right,
so have mercy on the Business Girl of
this period. We appeal to some as
horned curiosities, mental monstrosi-
ties, too popular to love one man;
love of money is eating our hearts
away; too selfish and cold to love and
care for children and a husband; our
popularity is robbing us of the right
man the good Lord intended us for.
I can't afford the printers' ink to
print all the different opinions; well,
there wouldn't be any ink left to print
the truth on the Business Girl ques-
tion. This is all BOSH. I know I am
in business to make a living and I
certainly can do it, as long as — well,
I believe the fat man is still in the

DENAIFFES BESUME.

Denaiffe & Son, whose seed business
at Carignan, France, was established in
1810 and suspended in 1914, have re-
sumed operations, Maurice Denaiffe, the
son, with several other heads, having
received their discharges from the
army after a year's service, the French
government having deemed it advisable
that Denaiffe & Son should keep alive
their important industry. The business
was stopped suddenly, a year ago, by
the calling into the military service of
over 600 Denaiffe employees, besides
every active head of the business. The
new office of the concern is now in an-
other quarter, some distance out of the
present war zone, in France.

Charles Johnson, of Marietta, Pa.,
American agent for Denaiffe & Son, will
remove to Berkeley, Cal., about Novem-
ber 1.

IN BEAUTIFUL SANTA BABBABA.

The illustration on this page is only
a suggestion, but to anyone who knows
southern California the suggestion is so
good and so true that it will bring to
mind the pleasant, shady oak groves,
the restful beauty and the possibilities
for enjoyment of just such a scene. It
is a corner of the Mission Oak Nursery,
at Santa Barbara, where Albert
Beverly is wont to dispense the good
things of life to those who approach it
in an appreciative spirit. [Kindly ob-
serve, Mr. Editor, that I said "it,"
not "them," and do not accuse me of
not being explicit.] H. E. Richards.

LOS ANGELES.

The Maxket.

Funeral work again constituted the
biggest item in the business this week
and there was no great amount of
that. Eqscs were never in the writ-
er's recollection so poor, either from
indoors or out, as now. The outdoor
flowers have a burnt-up appearance,
with no solidity of bud or petal, while
much of the " indoor stock being sent
in is from young and undeveloped
plants. Carnations are fair and keep
their color and substance fairly well.
Given some cooler weather, such as we
are now enjoying, and the outdoor
flowers will be better. Chrysanthe-
mums are beginning to be more plen-
tiful, but there is little demand for
them as yet. Centaureas are getting
past their best, but dahlias are in
their prime and most attractive. Gold-
enrod, delphiniums and other hardy
stock help out the display. In greens,
huckleberry easily holds first place and
this useful plaqt is becoming almost
indispensable. Asparagus of both
kinds is cheap and good, maidenhair
about equal to the demand.

Various Notes.

Thomas Wright, of Wright's Flower
Shop, has gone into the mountains for
deer and the boys at the store are
looking forward to a venison supper.
W. Wern says that business is coming
along fairly well for the season.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., and
J, R. Fotheringham, of San Francisco,
are among our trade visitors this week.
Sydney Bayersdorfer, E. J. Fancourt
and M. Beukauf have also been here.

The Freeman-Lewis Co. reports good
business and Mr. Freeman reports a
good time shooting doves.

Chrysanthemums are now a leading
feature with Murata & Co., whose busi-
ness is said to be picking up mate-
rially.

Having to serve on the jury is still
postponing O. C. Saakes' trip to San
Francisco.

H. W. Turner is entirely rearranging
his heating plant. Another large steam
boiler, about the same size as the one
in use, is being installed, both in a
new shed and above ground, which
will eliminate all danger of flooding
and make the boilers much easier to
handle.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has

greenhouses at the nursery on the Whit-
tier road. There will be two houses,
each 30x300 feet, but only part will
be built this fall. The heat of the
last few days has been against nursery
and seed sales.

Edwin Lonsdale died at Naturopathic
hospital September 1. The remains
were sent east for burial. Few of his

old friends who were in the city be-
fore and after the couYjention were able
to see him. , ,

At the L. A. Floral Co. thp oufiof-
town demand keeps up well, large ship-
ments going out daily.

J. RoUeri, of the California EVer-
green Co., has made quite a change in
the looks of the Broadway store, a
new office and fittings for supplies
greatly improving it. A full line of
ribbons and supplies has been put in.

Geo. W. Smith has returned from
his northern trip, looking and feeling
much better for the change.

H. R. Richards.

WENATOHEE, WASH.

There has been a small demand for
cut flowers here, but a fair amount of
funeral work has come in. The florists
are preparing for a good fall and
winter business.

The Milot-Mills Co. will open a down-
town store this fall. This firm will
have 3,500 rose bushes to cut from this
winter and about 7,000 chrysanthemum
blooms for the market. The company
was exceedingly fortunate in escaping
a heavy hail storm some time ago, which
had centered a short distance away.
The grasshoppers attacked the mums
this summer, but by careful hand-pick-
ing the insects were exterminated. Out-
door vegetables were ruined. L. I.
Milot and C. A. Mills started the Milot-
Mills Co. six years ago with 6,000 feet
of glass, and now have over 35,000 feet.

«hops, as a result of the great number
' of visitors here to attend the exposition.
This has furnished an outlet for the
If best flowers obtainable, and the less
' desirable stock has gone into decora-
tions of one kind and another, so the
4ail7 offerings have been cleaned up
well. The returns for August were par-
ticularly gratifying, as that is usually
About the quietest month of the year
here.

Theire is little change in the nature of
the offerings since last w|)ek, but on
the whole the flowers have improved.
'Chrysanthemums are coming in more
freely and show better quality. There
are large supplies of October Frost and
Monrovia, and a good many Crocker
are appearing. They clean up readily
At 75 eents to $1.50 a dozen. Dahlias
■continue plentiful and the quality is ex-
cellent for this time of year. They are
used to good advantage for show pur-
poses and work in nicely in decorative
work. The supply of gladioli is drop-
ping off, but so is the demand, and
there is enough good stock to fill re-
■quirements. Some fine late asters are
being received. Good carnations are
fltill scarce, but better offerings are ex-
pected shortly, as the cut from the
young stock is improving rapidly. Ama-
ryllis, offered in great quantity, finds a
fair demand. Zinnias are plentiful, but
, the quality is poor and they, do not
move well. Sweet peas still appear in
limited quantities and the good stock
is readily absorbed. Small outdoor
stock, which has flooded the market
for weeks, is beginning to drop off.

Hot weather is having some effect
upon the rose offerings, but, on the
whole, the quality averages a little bet-
ter than it has for several weeks.
Ophelia, Hadley, Ward and Killarney
Brilliant are all doing better. Long
stock sells readily. Valley was scarce
last week. Lilium rubrum is keeping
its popularity well, and the limited
quantity of tigrinum moves quickly.

Varioos Notes.

The United Flower & Supply Co.,
which handles the output of chrysan-
themums from the Japanese growers, is
receiving more and finer stock daily.
Crocker, Monrovia and October Frost
are plentiful and the company expects
to start shipping about the middle of
the month. The same firm wiU ship vio-
lets this season also.

J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan
Co., says that while some violets are
already appearing on the market, his
firm will not begin shipping east until
about October 15, the usual time, when
the flowers will have good keeping
quality.

At a well attended meeting of the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Paciflc Coast
Horticultural Society last week, in the
Phelan building, it was decided to hold
regular meetings on the last Tuesday
of each month. Arrangements are also
being made for joint meetings with the
men at regular intervals, to promote
harmony between the two organiza-
tions.

A new flower shop is being opened at
1462 Sutter street, by Mr. Euentzel.

Frank Pelicano is bringing in a big
cut of fine dahlias, which figure prom-
inently in his store windows. The pres-
ent cut consists principally of the four
varieties, Delice, Geisha, Mrs. Eidwell
and Minnie Berger.

H. Avansino, of the Fairmount Flo-
ral Co., says business has kept up bet-
ter this summer than in former years,

The Florists' Review

SsPTaMBBB 9, 1916.

following the conventions here last
month, returned the first of the week
and they are of one accord in the opin^
ion that the trip was a grand success.
They were the guests of Charles Willis
Ward at Eureka for two days, before
leaving on the trip to the Klamath
river, and Mr. Ward entertained them
to the best of his ability, which means
that they were well cared for. The
automobile trip of 100 miles from
Eureka up the coast was one of the
pleasant featured of the trip, and
equally pleasant was the 3-mile ride
up the Klamath river in canoes and a
gasoline launch, which brought the
party to the camping ground at the
mouth of Ah-Pah creek, where Mr.
Ward had a most comfortable and pic-
turesque camp in the heart of a redwood
timber belt ready for their reception.
They remained there a week, hunting,
fishing and tramping over the hills. One
of the local m^nbers states that the
tramping was his favorite diversion, as
the scenery was wonderful. He says
he had no idea such a beautiful natural
^owth of f eras existed in the state.
Professors R. T. Stevens and 0. F.
Shaw, of the University of California,
returned home August 28 and the rest
of the party came in August 30, in-
cluding Daniel MacRorie, H. Plath and
Frank Pelicano.

Charles Willis Ward, of Eureka, Cal.,
has purchased the remainder of the
Eden tract, approximately fifty acres,
adjoining the eight acres which he al-
ready owned in the tract, on which are
located the Cottage Gardens nurseries.
It is understood a portion of the new
purchase will be used for necessary ex-
tensions of the nurseries.

A. J. Burt, of Spokane, Wash., re-
mained in San Francisco for a fort-
night after the convention, to visit the
exposition and study the markets here.
S. H. G.

PORTLAND, OBE.

The Maa^k'^^:

Business for the month o£iuAugust
was better by a considerable per-
centage than that of the same month
a ^6ar ago. , The demand for flowers
last week showed a marked improve-
ment over the previous week. This in-
crease was due to an improvement in
general business conditions and is con-
sidered as an encouraging opening of
early fall trade.

With the exception of asters, there
were no surplus flowers. The cut of
carnations has increased slightly, but
the cut of roses has decreased until
there is a scarcity of some colors.
There is a good cut of Ophelia, but
barely enough to go around. Orchids
are getting more plentiful and are of
excellent" quality. Gladioli, sweet peas
and some* varieties of garSen ^ow«rs
still arrive in large quantities, and
some of the stores are showing blooms
cut from their cyclamens.

Various Notes.

Philip Breitmeyer, ex-mayor of De-
troit, stopped over on his way home

Vegetable Forcing

FUNGUS ON TOMATOES.

Please let me know what to do tor
keep the blight or fungus -away from
tomatoes in a rose house, as for the
last two years I have not been able to
grow tomatoes satisfactorily on account
of this fungus. I grow them on side
benches, planting them eighteen inches
apart, one row to a 3-foot bench. The
varieties are Best of All and Michell's
Forcing, Last year I restricted the root
surface, with no better result, so this
year I will give them the whole bench.
I always use good rose soil.

C. T. M.— Pa.

I do not know what blight you re-
fer to, unless it is mildew. Tomatoes
are subject to this, unless grown in a
dry atmosphere and not exposed to cold
drafts. They do much better in mid-
winter in a restricted border,^aap IM^
checks the rampant growth and the
flowers set more freely. You cannot
grow them successfully unless you bave
a fairly dry atmosphere. The plants
must not be sprayed over. A winter
minimum of as near 60 degrees as pos-
sible is about right. (Let the plants dry
out well between waterings. Blow some
powdered sulphur on the foliage at th'e
first appearance of nijldew. A,,^order
eighteen inches wide is better m mid-
winter than one double the width. Try
Comet and Lister's Prolific as winter
forcers.^-' 1 C. W.

eating them up in a few days. I
should like to know what they are and
how to destroy them. They also get
onto my cucumber vines. Also, please
tell me what the cotton-like insect is
on the enclosed plant. E. T. 0. — 111.

The contents of the bottle had turned
practically to jelly and had an offen-
sive odor. I could not see what the
pests were. If this is an insect eating
the foliage, spray with arsenate of lead,
four pounds to fifty gallons of water.
This destroys any leaf-eating pests. If
green or black fly troubles you, it is
necessary to lay the shoots over and
spray with a nicotine solution, as these
affect the lower sides of the leaves.

The white, woolly insect is mealy
bug. Use a strong pressure of cold
■water directed through a spray nozzle
on your colens and other plants at-
tacked, in order to clean them. On
coleus you cannot use any strong in-
secticide for mealy bug T^ithout injur-

The F. & F. Nurseries, at Spriiigfield,
N. J., have added to the perennial de-
partment, and expect an increase in busi-
ness this fall.

David Kydd, of "West Haven, Conn.,
treasurer of the New Haven" County
Horticultural Society, has announced his
intention of starting a nursery business
this fall.

In a report on those engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits the Department of Ag-
riculture says that 143,462 people in the
United States are gardeners, foresters
or nurserymen.

The Elizabeth Nursery Co., of Eliza-
beth, N. J., has commenced work on the
erection of a large storage house to re-
place the building destroyed by fire
several months ago. The building will be
30x60 and will cost about $15,000.

E. J. CoE, of Fort Atkinson, and M. S.
Kellogg, of Janesville, Wis., spoke on
* ' Shrubs for Small Plantations and Their
Disposal," before the annual meeting of
the Wisconsin State Horticultural So-
ciety, at Madison, August 25 and 26.

G. W. Van Gelderen, Boskoop, Hol-
land, announces that W. B. Van Eyk,
who has visited the trade in America in
his interest the last nine years, has been
admitted to partnership, the firm being
known as Van Gelderen & Co. Mr. Van
Eyk plans to continue his trips to this
country, as he will have charge of the
selling and shipping.

Edwin D. Parnell, manager of the
North Jersey Nurseries, Millburn, N. J.,
ascribes the decrease in the nursery busi-
ness in the last year in part to the in-
crease in the automobile business. A
large proportion of the great number of
automobile buyers find the upkeep heavier
than they had expected, and therefore
cut down their expenditures in other
lines.

BOTTERDAM MAIL LOST.

Malters & Ware, New York, have re-
ceived a cable from the Association of
Holland Nurserymen to the effect that
the greater part of the mail on the
SS. Rotterdam was destroyed by fire.
This vessel left New York August 21
and arrived at Rotterdam September 2.

The Association of Holland Nursery-
men requests duplicates of all letters
that may have been on that steamer.

IN DULUTH'S PEONY OAEDENS.

Early in the summer I had a delight-
ful visit at that fine northern city by
the "unsalted sea," Duluth, Minn. The
people there are progressive and are
waking up to the possibilities of home
and city adornment.

Those northern regions, with their
cool, moist climate, are particularly well
adapted to the development rf some of
•the most beautiful flowers. I recently
attended the Minnesota summer meet-
ing at the grounds of the Agricultural
College, and though I have also been
present at the national peony shows at

Harrisburg, Pa., July 20, 1915.
S. G. Harris, Tarrytown, N. Y.

Dear Sir — Last October I received 75 to 100 Peonies from
you. I won't sing "Tell Me the Old, Old Story" for you,
but in the last ten years I have been Peony stung — har-
pooned and trimmed until I refuse to resent a raw deal
on Peonies any more. I Just quit. I now take that time
to tell the man who has given me a square deal — "Shake,
you are a gentleman and a scholar and sure earned your
money."

Last year I bought from you and . His plants

were good and worth the price. Yours were large, looked
better and were much heavier. This season not more
than one-third of his had flowers. All of yours, but a
few, had blooms, from one to five, many of which were
very large. The boys made more than the price paid
for the plants from the blooms sold from them Decoration

Day. You sell the best plants for the money I ever saw.
If 1 can arrange, I want to put in more this Fall.

Some Son of Belial got him hence with the Peony cata-
logue you sent me. I will certainly thank you for a copy,
as it was one of the few catalogrues I wanted to keep.

Men like you deserve the good will and patronage of
decent people and I am glad I had the good fortune to
deal with you.

Wishing you continued merited success, I am.
Yours truly,

Rochester, N. Y., August 27, 1915.
Responding to your quotations of the 27th ult., the
Peony roots that you sent us last year were strong and
heavy and carried a number of good eyes anfl the plants
suited us in every way, that is the reason we are back
with an order today.

HYDRANGEAS

Our Hydrangeas are all grown in the open ground daring the summer, where they make a very luxurious
growth, producing heavy heads. They are potted up in August and will be thoroughly rootbound in
October. They are extra heavy this season and will not only produce flowers from the shoots but also
from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

Boston and Chicago, nowhere have I
Been displays which could equal the
peony show at this meeting. The large
building, including halls and stairways,
was filled with the flowers. Though
w© -can gfTow as good peony roots in
my state, Nebraska^ as can be produced
anywhere, I am willing to admit that
Minnesota can beat the world on peony
blooms. Mr. Ruff, of St. Paul, had 175
of the choicest varieties on exhibition
and other progressive growers were in
evidence. The Brands made a display
of their best. One of their varieties
was an enormous pink, like a glorified
eabbage. They were selling it at $15
per root and could hardly supply the
demand. Another immense one, a deep
red, was going at the same price.

In Duluth at the time of my visit,
most of the peonies were not in bloom.
It appeared likely that they would not
be before the middle of July and would
continue to bloom till the first part o£
August. I visited several gardens and
saw the plants forming enormous buds,
ready to open into the finest blooms the
«un ever shone upon. Thus these peony
gardens are real cold storage affairs,
keeping fresh blooms in all their
splendor a long time.

It is no stretch of imagination to
Bay that in a few years Duluth will
%>e sending its magnificent peonies to
the Twin Cities and even to Chicago,
where they will arrive in all their fresh-
ness and beauty. The leading citizens
of Duluth are awake to their opportuni-
ties. The city is becoming a summer
resort. Even in late June and early
July, 1,000 visitors per day were regis-
tering at the hotels. Personally, I had
a cordial reception. Judge Cutting, of
the Municipal court and an enthusiast
on flowers, had the Duluth Herald pub-
lish the article concerning my work
which The Review so kindly gave to
its readers in the issue of June 24. The
Herald reproduced both the article and
the portrait. So the doors flew open
for me and hearty handshakes were
given, followed by delightful automo-
bile rides.

I predict that five years from now
Duluth will have the most charming
flower gardens to be seen in many miles.
When the present enthusiasm reaches
high tide you will see a beautiful city,
with its natural parks and matchless
gardens, giving cordial welcome to its
thousands of delighted visitors.

"A Bird in the Hand"—

You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangea in America is worth several Asaleaa
in Belflfium right now. Of course, the Aaaleaa may get out of Belgium; we don't
know; conditions may change; certainly it is not possible to get anything out of
Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't.
Are you going to take that chance? Can you afford to depend altogether ou imported
forcing stock, when there is plenty of good forcing stock right here at home—
"Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on?

HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer:

OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $25.00 the 100.
" 5 and 6 " at 20.00 the 100.
" 4 •• at 16.00 the 100.

* French Novelties, all the best ones, at $5.00 the 100 addition for the same sizes.

They are all in six-inCh pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich,
deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom,
will grow into money for you, and you can cash 'em next Easter.

They

There w^on*t be any sur*
plus of blooming plants next
Spring. Stick a pin in that. We want
every progressive florist to get in
touch with us.

MILWAXTEEE.

The Market.

The weather last week was cool and
cloudy. Labor day was cloudy and
there was some rain, but not enough to
stop the holiday arrangements made
for the day. Most of the trade closed
up in the afternoon. Business in gen-
eral has continued weak, although
there have been some good-sized fu-
neral orders, which have helped mate-
rially.

Carnations are still absent from the
market, and growers say that it will
be about three weeks before the new
crop starts to come in. Boses remain
rather scarce, but orders for them are
being taken care of easily. The sup-
ply of long-stemmed Bussells is not
equal to the demand, and orders are be-
ing turned down on this particular
item. Valley is scarce and is cleaned
up daily. There have been large orders
for this stock and Easter liHes, and
they are moving readily. The early
chrysanthemums are arriving, and ex-
cellent stock is being disposed of each
day. Gladioli are plentiful, but the
quality is deteriorating. Asters are as
fine as can be seen anywhere. They
are plentiful, but move quite well.

Various Notes.

M. A. McKenney & Co. report that
they have been exceptionally busy with
funeral wotk. There were several large
funerals last week, and in some cases
this firm had the entire order.

Carnation Plants

nT is our pleasure to be able to offer to the trade, this season, the finest lot of field
plants we have ever grown. The Pittsburgh district has enjoyed an excep-
tional summer. Cool days and nights, just enough rain, plenty of dew. Just that
weather on which carnations delight and thrive. Our stock has no disease of any
kind, no stem-rot, no dead foliage, no spider. All plants guaranteed first quality
and size, in good healthy condition, true to name. We (Jig carefully, give liberal
count and pack to ship anywhere. We are carnation specialists, our men know how.

WASHINaTON, D. O.

The Market.

The closing of the first week in
September found the local market in
much better shape than it has been for
some time. Business for the month
seems to have been a little bit better
than in previous years.

Flowers in all lines, with the excep-
tion of orchids, gardenias and valley,
continue to be plentiful. There is diffi-
culty in securing orchids, and prices
are high. Gardenias are almost equally
scarce. Shipments of valley are only
fifty per cent of normal. Boses are
good for this season, but the sale is
slow. Carnations are beginning to
come into the market in quantities, but
they are short-stemmed and meet with
little demand. Asters have about
reached high tide. Dahlias are offered
in larger quantities, but are not yet at
their best and do not meet with much
demand. The first October Frost chrys-
anthemums have made their appear-
ance, and sell well.

Various Notes.

William J. Boas, trading as William J.
Boas & Co., paper box manufacturers,
of Philadelphia, has filed suit in the
local court against Z. D. Blackistone,
Fourteenth and H streets, northwest,
for $622.46, covering boxes sold to the
latter.

Among the visitors in Washington
during the last week were Robert
Shoch, representing the M. Eice Co.,
Philadelphia, and William E. McKis-
sick, of the Leo Niessen Co., Baltimore.

Enormous crowds will fill the city the
latter part of this month, when the
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public will hold the fiftieth and last
encampment, according to William F.
Gude, chairman of the citizens' com-
mittee which has charge of all arrange-
ments therefor. Mr. Gude states that
he expects that a large number of flo-
rist veterans will attend and it is his
desire that all of these call at the store
of Gude Bros. Co. and register.

The Washington Floral Co., on Four-
teenth street, near New York avenue,
northwest, recently has had erected
above the store a large electric sign
bearing the words "Flowers, Popular
Prices." The sign is more than six
feet in height. C. L. L.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

Business was good last week- es-
pecially because of the many funeral
orders. Celosia in red, pink and yellow
is coming in, and all the stores are dis-
playing it prominently.

Charles F. Edgar, who has been in
charge of the floral work at Hotel
Traymore, for the Edwards Floral Hall
Co., left last week to join the Fleisch-
man Floral Co., of Chicago. Mr.
Edgar's many friends wish him suc-
cess.

George H. Berke had a busy week
with funeral work. Five large orders
for the better kind of work kept the
force busy.

The Edwards Floral Hall Co. has re-
placed its Little Giant delivery car
with a handsome Garford 1-ton car.

Robert & Henri will open a store on
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, in the
near future. Leases will be signed
this week. H. C. H.

SEDALIA, MO.

Roses arrived in large quantities
during August. Funeral work was
plentiful and there were decorations
for several weddings.

The Archias Floral Co. has a choice
stock of carnations, of a quality above
the average. Asters are a thing of the
past. Miss Grace Duncan, the de-
signer, has returned from her vacation.
Mr. and Mrs. Archias have been at-
tending fairs. Last week they visited
Clifton City, Mo.

Charles Pfeiffer is having his carna-
tions tied up. He says business is
normal. The glass at his greenhouses
is being overhauled.

Harry Ullrich, formerly employed by
one of the local growers, has returned
to Kansas City.

Dr. J. E. Cannaday, of the State
Fair Floral Co., has been out of town
attending to two cases of hay fever.
Before leaving he said that business
was up to expectations and that grow-
ing stock was good. J. H. H.

Omaha, Neb. — Henry Gerber has se-
cured a permit for the erection of a
greenhouse at Twenty-ninth street and
Sixth avenue, at an approximate cost
of $2,000.

THEREisNOSCARGin
of PALMS at DREER'S

•HlUR SUPPLY of Palms, and particularly that of Kentias,
IVJ is not at all affected by the war tie-up of Belgian stocks.
^^ We are carrying the usual large quantities and full line
of sizes of the well known Dreer quality, but as the general
supply of this class of stock is much smaller than usual, due
to this blockade, there is certain to be a scarcity as the season
advances. The demand during August has been heavier than
we have ever experienced during that month, and we are posi-
tive that there will not be sufficient good stock to last through-
out the season. We therefore recommend that you cover
your requirements early. If you are not ready to accept im-
mediate delivery, let us book your order, and we will set aside
and reserve your stock, making delivery at any time between
now and October 15.

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we

and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MABKET.

A decided incr«ase in the demand
for fuel, especially for domestic coal,
accompanied by a rise in prices — such
is the latest report from the coal deal-
ers. Indeed, a Chicago coal man states,
perhaps too optimistically, ithat the
activity in the market amounts to a
veritable boom. "For the first time
in about four years," he says, "the
Chicago. domestic coal market has been
on a genuine boom. Some sales agen-
cies said it looked like old times to
have orders coming in by telegraph
and telephone; to have the mines sold
up for some time ahead of production,
and to have users of coal urging de-
livery. That is the condition in which
the Chicago market has been, espe-
cially on western coal, for the better
part of last week. This is so despite
the fact that prices on the average are
nearly 15 cents a ton higher for
September than they were for August
delivery. The question of orders is
not what is bothering the sales agen-
cies, because thpse are coming of their
own accord. The thing that is bother-
ing them is the supply of cars to make
deliveries," as a large part of the
country's railroad equipment is needed
at present for the transportation of
farm crops. Students of the situation
seem to be more confirmed than they
were a week ago in the opinion that
a serious shortage of cars is imminent.

With reference particularly to the
florists' fuel, smokeless coal, the fol-
lowing report is given by the Chicago
authority already quoted: "The pro-
ducers of smokeless coal put out a
circular, September 1, of $1.40 on mine-
run, and are holding to it. The de-

IS YOUR HEATING PLANT READY?

Don't put off this important matter. Need a new Boiler?
Well, that's an easy matter to decide, simply put in an order
for a Kroeschell — there is no better boiler.

Read what others say who have used different kinds i

The Kroeschell is Better Than Cast Iron

In 19U I purchased a No. 1 Kroeschell Boiler for my uptown greenhouses. At
my other range we had a cast iron sectional boiler. In two years we cracked two
sections. That experience was enough for me. This year I thought I would not
take any more chances, so we have just installed another No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler.
I believe if the Kroeschell Boilers were known to all, they would use no other.
Rome. N. Y.. August 12, 1913. W. T. Hughes.

You Don't Worry "^ith a Kroeschell In Zero Weather

Have had the pleasure of firing almost every make of greenhouse boiler on'the
market, and can say that the Kroesoliell is the best of them all. When the
temperature is zero it is not necessary to worry about it when you have a Kroo-
schellt but when you have a cast iron boiler, the question is always on your
mind, "I better not fire too heavy for fear of a crack."

RivEK Bank Greenhouses,
Geneva, 111.. July 31, 1913. Chas. McCauley.

A Heating: Record at 62" Below Zero

Has the Kroeacliell given entire satisfaction? Yes! Perfect. Our winter
temperature ranges as low as 45° below zero. Last winter we had six weeks of
steady cold. The maximum temperature at noon 12"* below, the minimum tem-
perature at 4 a. m. 62"^ below zero. , This was a good test of the heating capacity
of a KroesclieU. Public Park Board, Winnipeg, Man.

When we say a Burn-
ham grate measures 30
inches, it measures 80
inches. You can measure
it yourself and get exact-
ly the same measure. It
is honest from start to
finish.

From Set-up to Fire-up it Saves Money

HAVING reached the point when you
now fuUy realize, that for ranges
up to 30,000 feet there are certain econo-
mies; certain certainties about a east
iron boiler that are impossible to ob-
tain in any irroug^ht iron boiler yet
made; then you are ju3t in the right
frame of mind to consider the Burn*
ham Cast Iron Sectional Boiler.

That you will get in that frame of
mind sooner or later, we haven't a
doubt, because keener competition in
your business requires closer economies,
and the Bumham is an economizer.

To save every cent possible you will
naturally first turn to your coal ex-
pense, watch your boilers closer and
come to more logical conclusions.

You will appreciate that when a

it should be the best for heating a

The Burnham being the only Cast

for greenhouse work, you will finally
take the question up with us, and give
us la chance to "show you" why from

Fooling Fall

Winter's coming!

Won't be long now before you'll
be turning on steam in earnest.
Many are starting already.

And as soon as the STEAM
hits those pipes — pipes that
have lain idle all summer — rust
holes, splits and joint leaks will
put in their appearance through-
out your heating system.

The Emergency Pipe Clamp

was designed for just such trou-
ble. Handy, easily applied and
permanent, it will save you from
tearing out pipe this fall.

Just slap a bit of gasket-rubber
(we furnish it) over the leak.
apply the clamp with an ordi-
nary wrench — and forget it.
It'll hold for good.

ports a decided improvement in busi-
ness during the last two weeks of Au-
gust. Mr. Harvey and his wife spent
Labor day with their daughter near
Chatham. Mr. Harvey will soon begin
to paint and otherwise fix up his store
for the coming season. He will also
lay in a new stock of palms.

Ludolff & Kautzmann, 109 Spring-
field avenue, have had a most beauti-
ful display in one of their windows,
which was fixed up in a realistic man-
ner to represent the entrance to a cave.
All up the sides of the cave and over
the entrance were ferns of different
kinds. In the entrance was a small
pool of water in which there were a
number of goldfish. In the window
were treetoads, chameleons, etc., which
sought the cool places among the ferns
or crawled up the sides. The effect,
with the touch of real life furnished
by the fish, treetoads and chameleons,
was pretty, and a large number of peo-
ple were interested in the display.

The Market.

The weather during the last two
we^ks has been quite cool and the
visitors at the seashore are returning
earlier this season than usual. Busi-
ness shows quite an improvement over
July and August.

The cool weather has materially
affected the supply of roses. The cuts
are smaller now than they have been
for many weeks. All varieties and
grades clean up readily. White is
scarce. The supply of carnations is
limited. Some good Golden Glow mums
are seen.

The Heating Problem Solved

Juigini strictly acconiini to mechmieal merits, it's
the MnROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

Because of their proven'sclentlflcally perfect con-
struction. Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heat a
(riven amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.
The remarkable heatlntr efficiency and quick
steaminR qualities of these Iwllers are due to their
larife and effective heatiUK surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
mertl:— ,

Smooth, perfect finished castings.
Push nipple connections.
li&rge Are box. provldlnjr ample combustion
chamber, and permlttlnK a sufficient charjre
of fuel to require att«>ntlon only at lonir
intervals.
Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a

sllelit task.
Lartrt- flues, making the l>oller easy to clean.
Omtes that are made for hard usage and long

service.
And atv>ve all, they are Fuel Saving, not Fuel
Wasting.
We also make soft coal Iwllers which are smoke-
less, and savQ 60 per cent in coal.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The advcut of cooler weather brought
an increase in business. The wholesale
houses were scenes of bustle and hurry,
which was a great contrast to the
period of summer inactivity. Stock is
of fair quality and consists mainly of
asters, which are in good crop. The
demand for white flowers of all varieties
is so heavy that in some instances the
orders can not be filled. White asters
and roses are scarce, as are lilies, which
have jumped up in price. Colored
asters are in bountiful supply and are
moving only fairly well. Dahlias are
arriving more heavily and are pretty
well bought up. Gladioli are about
over; only a few poor ones are seen.
Carnations are coming in slowly and
are extremely short-stemmed. Eoses
have not improved much, and good ones
are still assured of ready sale. Greens
are overplentiful and are moving
slowly.

Various Notes.

James Glass had the first Golden
Glow chrysanthemums of the season
September 3, at his stall in Lexington
Market.

E. W. Heinbuck is putting up a
house for callas at his place on Phila-
delphia road. He is cutting an excel-
lent lot of dahlias and says they are
moving well.

George Cook has resumed his attend-
ance at the market, with a good variety
of well grown ferns.

R. Vincent, Jr., has returned from
the S. A. F. convention and is enthusi-
astic over the wonderful seed farms of
California and the scenery on the way
there.

The next club meeting will be held on

The Market.

Business prospects are brighter than
they have been. The market has a
better tone, but sales do not show any
substantial increase. The shipping
business is good.

Roses are in good supply, including
excellent American Beauty, Ophelia,
Russell, Radiance, Taft, White Kill-
arney and Hoosier Beauty. The better
grades are having a fair sale. Carna-
tions come in regularly, and, as a whole,
are of fair quality. The Easter lilj^
supply is excellent and sufficient for
present needs. The cut of rubrum is
heavy. Asters continue to arrive in
large quantities. Gladioli seem to have
taken a new lease on life, for they are
of a better quality than those of the
last few weeks.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

There was a heavy call for funeral
work last week. A few fall weddings
kept the trade on the alert. Stock of
all kinds is showing a decided im-
provement in quality and an increase
in production. Eoses are improving
considerably, and are much more plenti-
ful than a few weeks previous. Asters
are at the height of their season and
are meeting with popular favor. Gladi-
oli are not so plentiful as they have
been, but are still of good quality.
The chrysanthemums are the October
Frost and Golden Glow varieties. Car-
nations are bringing 50 cents per dozen,
and are exceptionally good for this
time of the season. Lilies have been
a good standby for funeral work.
Dahlias are showing up well. Ameri-
can Beauties are plentiful, but there
is not much demand for the larger
grades.

Various Notes.

Miss Marjory Bradley, of the Brad-
ley Flower Shop, is taking her vacation
at Mt. Vernon, O., as the guest of
school friends.

Some fine asters are arriving on the
local wholesale market from the farm
of Thos. E. Covington, which is located
north of the city.

The Flick Floral Co. reports an in-
crease in the supply of October Frost
and Golden Glow chrysanthemums, but
the demand is not good. R. F.

NUTLET, N. J.

W. IL. Jones reports business is quiet
at present as far as the selling end is
concerned. He is busy, however, get-
ting ready for autumn, repairing and
painting his greenhouses, cultivating
his plants, etc. He has some fine
chrysanthemums and carnations under
way.

A. Nirk, 109 Walnut street, is pre-
paring his houses for the winter sea-
son. He has a fine lot of Boston ferns
coming on for the coming season, and
some fine chrysanthemums, two of his
specialties. B. B. M.

EUONYMUS RADICANS *r
THE EVERGREEN CLIMBER

What is the best hardy evergreen climber? What is the best substi-
tute for English iv^, in latitudes where the ivy is not hardy f These ques-
tions and others of similar import are repeatedly being asked. In reply,
horticulturists generally agree in recommending Euonymus radicans for
the purpose indicated.

^■' =

EADEES who have no in-
terest in mere names are
advised to skip this para-
graph— ^^and perhaps the
next one. The first point
to be decided is only a
question of one letter in
the spelling of a name; yet
it makes some difference
whether we say EVony-
mus or EUonymus. The old, familiar
spelling, euonymus, has been abandoned
by some leading botanists, including so
high an authority as Bailey. But the
form euonymus is here preferred, out
of respect for the members of the
trade, nearly all of whom so pronounce
it, and out of respect
fcr that worthy old
Greek botanist, Theo-
phrastus, who is said to
have named the plant
euonymus about three
centuries before the
Christian era. More-
over, isn 't euonymus
really more euphonious
than evonymus? Euony-
mus it shall be, there-
fore, in this article —
printer and proofreader
permitting.

A True Boot-Climber.

The word euonymus is
usually supposed to sig-
nify -'of good name"
or "of good repute."
The word radicans, of
course, means ' ' root-
ing," and has reference
to the aerial roots by
means of which the
shrub climbs or creeps.
Euonymus radicans also
has several common
names, sUeh as the
climbing euonymus, the
creeping euonymus, the
evergreen climber and
the evergreen bitter-
sweet.

We feel better ac-
quainted with plants, as
well as with people,
when we know some-
thing about their fam-
ily connections. The
euonymus family — or
genus, to be precise —
is well known and high-
ly esteemed, as biogra-
phers like to say, for it
includes such favorites
as E. atropurpurea, gen-
erally referred to as the
burning bush or wa-

hoo; E. Europaea, commonly called the climbing proclivities of radicans. The

European burning bush or spindle tree;
E. Americana, or strawberry bush; E.
obovata, or running strawberry bush,
and E. alata, variously known as the Ja-
panese burning bush, the winged burning
bush, the cork-barked euonymus, etc.

It is perhaps unnecessary to say that
these shrubs are called burning bushes
on account of their brilliant fall coloring.

Unlike Any Other Euonymus.

All of these relatives of Euonymus
radicans are deciduous shrubs. With
the exception of the running straw-
berry bush, they are upright in
growth, with none of the creeping or

Euooymus Radicans Is ao Exceedingly Useful Plant

running strawberry bush is suitable for
shrubbery borders or for covering the
ground under trees, but differs dis-
tinctly from E. radicans in being too
low for general use as a climber.

E. radicans, also, is largely grown as
a creeping or trailing shrub, in bor-
ders and similar locations, but it will
climb if it has an opportunity, attain-
ing a height of ten to twenty feet, or
occasionally even a greater height if
the soil is rich and other conditions are
favorable. Its flowers are inconspicu-
ous. It has small, shiny, dark green
leaves and pink fruits. It clings tena-
ciously to wood, stone or concrete.
Thus it makes an attrac-
tive covering for walls,
rocks, tree trunks, etc.
It will live — just live,
if nothing more — in al-
most any kind of soil.
"Almost any kind of
soil," therefore, is what
is frequently prescribed
for it; hence there is
nothing surprising in
the fact that it is some-
times considered a slow
grower. Apparently, it
makes fairly rapid
growth in good soil. A
reliable eastern florist
tells of plants of E. radi-
cans which covered a
wall sixteen feet high
in four years. He says
that these plants, how-
ever, were not only in
good soil, but were oc-
casionally watered in
dry weather and re-
ceived a mulch of cow
manure each spring.

Is It Hardy?

As to the hardiness of
E. radicans, there might
be danger of speaking
too positively or defin-
itely. Bailey says it is
fairly hardy. One Bos-
ton grower, who gener-
ally speaks from experi-
ence, says it is suffi-
ciently hardy to with-
stand a temperature of
20 degrees below zero
without injury. But an-
other grower in almost
the same latitude,
though some hundreds
of miles farther west,
says: "The climate of
northern Ohio seems not
particularly favorable

16

The Florists^ Review

Septbmbeb 16, 1915.

to its development; it lives, but
does not thrive; in the south it
flourishes apace." It is necessary
to consider, not only the latitude, but
also the longitude and altitude and a
multitude of local peculiarities of soil
and eccentricities of climate. So each
prospective grower of E. radicans must
be governed by his own knowledge and
by the testimony of local nurserymen
or other well informed neighbors.

Rash statements as to its evergreen
character might also lead to trouble. A
trustworthy Illinois nurseryman says
ID is evergreen except in the extreme
north. Just what he means by "ex-
treme north," he might hesitate to
tell; he probably did not feel justified
in using a less elastic phrase.

Its Propagation.

E. radicans can be readily propagated
by cuttings of half-ripened wood, either
in the fall and winter or in early Au-
gust. One of The Review's correspond-
ents has recently expressed a strong
preference for the summer cuttings, as
they root much more quickly than the
winter ones if kept in a cloise frame,
shaded and freely syringed. If only
small quantities are propagated, the
correspondent states, flats are prefer-
able to frames, because they can be
moved about. A flat 12x24 inches and
four inches deep, he says, will hold
200 to 250 cuttings and not one per
cent will fail to root, provided the cut-
tings, when taken off, are plunged in
fresh water and are not allowed to
dry at any time. Use sandy loam in
the flats, placing some coal ashes or
other material underneath for drain-
age. These flats, if kept freely
syringed and properly cared for, will
be a mat of roots in eight weeks, when
they can be stood outdoors until cold
weather. Then they can be packed
away in a coldframe, under a bed of
dry leaves, for the winter. Or the
little plants can be potted up if re-
quired for early spring sales.

Varieties of Badlcans.

Among the varieties or subvarieties
of E. radicans, the form most favor-
ably spoken of is E. vegeta, or E. radi-
cans vegeta. Some authorities, includ-
ing E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Arbor-
etum, even declare that vegeta is su-
perior to the type. In a recent issue
of the Garden Magazine, Mr. Wilson
says: "The type has narrowly ovate,
pointed to lance-shaped leaves; the va-
riety vegeta has obovate to broadly
oval leaves, rounded at the apex, dark
green and glossy, especially in winter.
This variety, which is a better garden
plant than the type, was raised in the
Arnold Arboretum from seeds received
from Sapporo, Hokkaido, in 1876."
l\o definite information seems to be
available, however, as to how tall E.
vegeta will grow. Hence growers who
wish to be certain about the height, or
about other qualities which require
long testing, may still prefer E, radi-
cans.

There are also several forms of radi-
cans with variegated leaves, but it is
presumed that in this case, as in most
others, the green-leaved plants are
more vigorous anu reliable than the
variegated sorts.

THE HAEDY FLOWER GARDEN.

Blue-flowering Plants.

A pleasing change from the heavy,
prevailing tone of yellow comes in the
eryngiums, or sea hollies. Of these
E. planum and E. amethystinum, with
their round steel-blue heads of blooms,
growing three to four feet in height,
are now flowering. The echinops, or
globe thistles, are of similar hue and
are still attractive. Of these sphsero-
cephalus, Ritro and Bannaticus are all
well worth growing.

We have some other attractive blue
flowers now, and among these are
Plumbago Larpent«, six inches high,
with deep blue flowers; Salvia azurea

grandiflora, pale blue; S. pratensis, in-
tense dark blue; Lobelia syphilitica,
three feet in height, Ifeht blue; Clema-
tis Davidiana, the blw shrubby clem-
atis, and C. integryplia, of similar
color, but dwarfer in-, habit. Caryop-
teris Mastacanthus is commonly classed
as a perennial, although it is really
a deciduous shrub. It makes a good
show at this season. We have still
fuHher additions in the fine second
crop of delphiniums; the present sea-
son seedlings of D. Chinensis, the Chi-
nese larkspurs, make a notable display
of their intense deep blue flowers.

Other I<ate-flowering Perennials.

Some other perennials now flowering
are: Epilobium angustifolium, the wil-
low herb; Conoclinium coelestinum, the
blue mist flower; Chelone Lyoni, deep
red; Dicentra eximia formosa, the per-
petual-flowering bleeding heart; the
tall, showy hibiscus, or mallow, in-
cluding Crimson Eye, white, red cen-
ter; H. militaris, pink, and H. Mos-
cheutos, rose. While these latter do
well at the back of any border, they
are especially good near water. Stat-
ice latifolia and S. incana, the sea lav-
enders, and Stokesia cyanea, the beau-
tiful lavender blue cornflower aster,
should be in every hardy border. The
various forms of the Carpathian bell-
flower, or Campanula Carpatica, are still
full of flower, and the tall and stately
C. pyramidalis in sequestered spots is
fine.

Geum coccineum Mrs. Bradshaw still
produces its brilliant scarlet double
flowers; so do the several heucheras,
especially H. sanguinea. In purple
flowers we have the Kansas gay
feather, Liatris scariosa, and I*, spicata,
over four feet in height. The bril-
liant Lobelia cardinalis, or cardinal
flower, prefers moist ground, but flowers
well under drier conditions. The torch
lilies, or tritomas, are now making a
notable showing, especially T. Pfitzeri,
Torchlight, Express, Leichtlinii and
Lemon Queen. This by no means com-
pletes the list of early September pe-
rennials and we have the lilies and
montbretias now in abundance to help
in making the borders attractive.

INJURES NEXT YEAR'S CROP.

Will you kindly tell us whether cut-
ting off the foliage of tulips and nar-
cissi, grown outdoors in beds, is in-
jurious to the next, year's crop of
blooms? We like them to bloom well
and have long stems. Some say that
pulling up ,the foliage with the flower
does not hurt the bulb for the next
year. Is this sof We have a 200-foot
bed, three feet wide, in a conspicuous
place on our grounds, in which we
wish to set tulips and narcissi this fall.
If it is injurious to pull or cut the
foliage, can you tell vb of some inex-
pensive annual which we could grow
in this clayey loam from seed, for com-
mercial purposes, and what time should
this seed be sown in the latitude of
western New York? E. H. J. — N. Y.

Euonymus Radlcani Climbtng on a Shingled Wall.

Removing the foliage with any bulb-
ous flower will most assuredly cripple
the flowering qualities for the next
season. Anyone who |^ells you other-
wise is talking contrwy to all facts
and reason. The more foliage left on
bulbs of any kind, the better they
will flower for yoij another season.

Why not dig up your tulips and nar-

cissi after they have flowered, and
heel them in thickly in a trench!
Later, after the foliage has died away,
take them up and store them in flats
on a shelf in a cool, dry shed. If you
do not wish to go to this trouble, it
is best to wait until the foliage is rip-
ening off, then plant such easily grown
annuals as verbenas, petunias or scarlet
salvias among them. These can be de-
pended upon to cover the ground and
flower well, but all annuals would do
much better if the bulbs were removed,
the ground manured and spaded over
and then planted with such easily
grown annuals as those named, or
asters, if preferred. Vinca rosea is
also a fine annual for the same pur-
pose. Sow seed of vincas in February,
of asters at the end of March, and
petunias or verbenas in February, to
insure good plants. Salvia seed could
be sown as late as the middle of April.

BEGONIAS IN WINTER.

"We have tuberous-rooted begonias in
the yard and also in pots. What care
shall we give them for winter? Will
the bulbs be good for next year? If
so, will they stand light frosts?

D. B.— Ind.

A light freezing would not harm the
roots, but I would prefer to take them
up before frost and store them in flats
in a coldframe or on a shelf in a shed
until all the foliage has ripened off.
Then shake away the soil and store the
bulbs in dry sand or cocoanut fiber ref-
use. Keep them) in a temperature of
40 to 45 degrees at night and be sure
no water reaches them. C. W.

HYDRANGEAS FOR EASTER.

I had some hydrangeas that did not
bloom for last Easter. So, in order to
provide more room, I put them out in
coldframes, protecting them on cold
days and at night. The night of June
11 I failed to cover them and we had
a severe frost, which spoiled both
blooms and plants for that season.
Some time afterward I cut them back

MRS. J. A. PHILIPPS.

THE Flower Lady of Fourteenth Street" is the sobriquet of Mrs. J. A. Philipps
among her trade friends and her customers, at the national capital. Such an
appellation is in itself evidence of popularity, but Mrs. Philipps was furnished
more appreciable evidence, in the shape of 30,000 votes, which will give her a trip to

Do not allow your plants to^ifet more

Then, if you have a frame of sufficient

is not deep enough, dig out to give

weather comes on, and move the plants
to a cold greenhouse or to a dry, frost-
proof cellar, not too dark, where they
can stay .until the middle of January.
Then place them in a temperature of
50 degrees at night. As growth ad-
vances, the temperature can be in-
creased 10 degrees. They need lots of
water and feeding "until the flower
heads show color. At that time gradu-
ally lower the temperature. C. W.

CONCERNING MILADY.

I should like t;p hear from a grower
in regard to the cultivation of the Mi-
lady rose; also, how it ranks commer-
cially. W. R. W.— W. Va.

some of the smaller, more tender, plants
turned black. We also lost hundreds
in our packing sheds from black mold.
Any suggestions you can oflfer on cold
storage of teas and hybrid teas will
be appreciated. P. W. C. — Utah.

Milady is extensively and success-
fully grown by a large number of com-
mercial rose erowers, but, like most
of the red roses, it has its- shortcom-
ings as well as its good points. It is
highly susceptible to thripp in sum-
mer, and for that reason needs close
watching. It also is easily attacked
by black-spot. However, Milady is an
exceedingly free grower and producer,
and will more than repay one for all
the extra care it requires. Milady
should have a night temperature of 56
to 58 degrees in winter. It should be
kept 4 to 6 degrees warmer on cloudy
days and 10 degrees warmer on clear
days. It should have plenty of fresh
air at all times. As Milady produces
a large, full flower, it suffers quickly
from warm and close temperatures on
cloudy days. Considering all points.
Milady is about as profitable as any
other rose on the market today.

STORING ROSE PLANTS.

We have from 15,000 to 20,000 rose
plants, teas and hybrid teas, which we
^ish to carry through the winter for
spring sales. Most of them are in pots
that vary in size from 2-inch to 5-inch,
but part of the stock is field-grown, not
in pots. Our previous methods have
not been successful, except with hybrid
perpetuals. Heretofore we have stored
them in cellars, stripping oflf the leaves,
covering the roots with clean sand and
not allowing much light. The wood on

To winter tea and hybrid tea roses
successfully, the plants should have
considerable light and should also be
aired on every possible occasion. Dark-
ness and dampness soon cause mold to
spread and ruin a large part of the
plants. A winter storage house, to be
a success, should be provided with
ample ventilation. Only during severe
cold- or heavy snows should the ven-
tilators be closed. Your plants would
have kept well if more light and air
had been given them.

The field-grown hybrid perpetuals
and hybrid teas should be lifted and
packed in damp earth, not in sand. It
is advisable to give some water, so
as to moisten the roots, for if these are
too dry, the plants will probably die.
Sand is a poor material in which to
pack roots of shrubs, trees or roses.
Plants may appear fresh in it, but
if exposed to sun and light will in
many cases turn black. It is surprising
that so many nurserymen persist in
using sand.

The tea roses are more tender and
less damp-proof than the hybrid per-
petuals and hybrid teas and should be
given a fairly light place, where they
can get fresh air. Work some dry
leaves among them. These leaves will
absorb any moisture and you will find
your plants will come out in better
shape in the spring. Do not mind if
your plants get a little frost; it is
better than keeping them too close and
stuflfy. C. W.

ROSES FOR DESIGNS IN SOUTH.

We want to set out 400 or 500 rose
bushes this fall, with the intention of

using the blooms for cut flowers and
designs. What pinks and whites would
you suggest? What age should the
bushes be to have flowers the first
year? When should they be set out
here? What shrubs should we set out
in order to get cut flowers for designs?
H. P. F. & C— N. C.

For outdoor blooming in North Caro-
lina you can get nothing better than
Cochet roses, pink and white. Obtain
strong plants from 4-inch pots and set
them out at once. If you can arrange
to have these set out in beds with a
sash roof over them in spring and
summer, you will find them the most
profitable roses you can grow. They
will need much water, ' and you will
have to fight thrips in the spring, using
nicotine extract two or three times a
week from the time the buds form.
After the first crop you will have no
further trouble until fall. Kaiserin
is also fine for outdoors.

For flowering shrubs you can use
snowballs, althaeas, oleanders (if hardy
in your section). Hydrangea arborescens
and H. paniculata grandiflora. Other
good plants for the purpose are snap-
dragons, feverfew, Vinca rosea and alba,
peonies and dahlias. A few plants of
Clematis paniculata grown on trellises or
posts give a fine lot of flowers in August
and September. They are suitable for
designs. L.

HYDRANGEAS FOR FORCING.

Being inexperience^ in the growing
of hydrangeas, I am coming to you for
advice. Last spring I took cuttings of
Otaksa and Mme. E. Mouillere, and
when the weather was suitable I plant-
ed them outdoors. They have grown
nicely all summer and now are about
eight inches high, with from two to
nine good, healthy stalks. I should like
to bloom these for Christmas and
Easter. What care should be given to
the plants now, to make them budf
How and when should they be potted
and what care should they receive in-
doors? The other day I took a few
plants from the field and potted them,
and found that they were quite heav-
ily rooted. E. C— N. Y.

If you want hydrangeas for early
forcing, you should dig up your plants
now. They will lift with a large ball.
Reduce this so they can be placed in
pots of a suitable size. Pot firmly and
water well. Keep them outdoors for
some weeks, but do not expose them
to more than light freezings. The
French varieties, such as Mme. E. Mouil-
lere, are much more tender than H.

You cannot force hydrangeas satis-

French varieties sometimes throw a fall

competition with the regular Christ-

new booklet is easily read, as it is
written with the pleasant, infectious
enthusiasm of a sincere lover of his
subject. On the title-page he states
that his aim is to show "how to raise
new varieties, and how to enlarge a
wide field of profit and enjoyment, in
the growing of a plant that is pe-
culiarly adapted to our semi-arid re-
gions, comprising one-fourth of our
vast domain, where other flowers can-
not be made to grow." At thp pndi

Second Week Successful.

The second week of the Rochester
exposition and flower show came to
a close September 11. Although the
immense crowds did not keep up their
record, a quite satisfactory attendance
was noted. Ideal weather continued
throughout the two weeks, some days
with excessive heat. The exhibitors
kept their stock looking well, although
the replenishing of it throughout the
twelve days was a large expense to
them.

Dreer 's artificial pool is undoubtedly
the center of attraction. Daily ship-
ments of water lilies with foliage and
some large and handsome Victoria regia
were made. The pool looked its best
the last few days of the show.

The rockery around the lily pond was
from the garden of George Cramer.

Fred Schlegel 's Sons, Rochester,
showed some good small baskets in the
Rochester colors, lavender and yellow.

PYLE TALKS ABOUT THE WEST.

[A syuopsls of an address, illustrated by pho-
tographs, given by Robert Pyle, of West Grove,
Pa., before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia,
September 7. 1915.]

Mr. Pyle first outlined the relative
importance of the two expositions on the
Pacific coast this year, showing th%t7 of
San Francisco as an international one,
made up of exhibits from foreign coun-
tries as well as from different parts of
America, whereas th'e exp^ition art San
Diego is rather a state offe, called the
Panama-California E}^P^sition,and mada>
up mainly of exhibils fronudyie differ-
ent counties in C?amor|iia. ^^>

Many Sights 19 Short Time.

After detailing the warm welcome
that had been accorded by the florists of
Chicago, Council Bluffs, Omaha, and
those of Denver, in charge of J. A. Val-
entine, he referred to conditions exist-
ing at this season of the year in differ-
ent parts of California as it was possi-
ble to observe them in a trip which ex-
tended from San Diego, within ten miles
of the Mexican border, to Vancouver, in
British Columbia, and back over the
Canadian Bockies, the entire trip re-
quiring only twenty-five days, which of
course did not permit long stays in
any place, though it did give an excel-
lent opportunity to see the roses being
grown even at this season of the year
in Portland, to observe the berry grow-
ing district of Oregon, to take note of
the wonderful bean growing district of
Ventura county, California, where land
is selling at $2,000 an acre within a few
miles of other land that cannot be sold
at $200 an acre because of the favorable
location of the former. Mr. Pyle made
f'eferfeTlce to the various firms whose es-
tablishments he was able to visit in and
near some of the larger cities. For ex-
ample, near Los Angeles he was im-
pressed with the extensive operations
of Howard & Smith and the Germain
Seed & Plant Co., which has recently
gone into the nursery business. In and
near San Francisco he had the chance
to see the excellent work being done
by C. C. Morse & Co., as well as the
cooperative operations of the Vallance
Nursery. But the most impreesiv^ rem-
iniscences of the trip, undoubtedly,
were those reflected by what was ob-
served at the expositions of San Diego
and San Francisco, especially the latter.

The San Diego Exposition.

At San Diego it is most interesting to
reflect that about four or five years ago
the site of the exposition was hills, can-
yons and ravines, clothed with nothing
but sagebrush, that for every tree
planted the hole had to be blasted and
that for everything now growing there
had to be constant irrigation during the
dry season, which is still going on. The
extent of territory thus covered and now
turned over to the park department of
the city of San Diego is noteworthy.
The exposition, which cost perhaps
$2,000,000 to construct, will to a large
extent remain. The planting at this
exposition has been done with great
taste, that along the Prado, or main ave-
nue, and especially l^e Plaza Panama,
proving especially noteworthy. The ar-
rangement and setting were distinctly
in good taste. The brilliant purple of
the bougainvilleas, the perfect wealth
of color given by the use of caniias
throughout the shrubbery planting, the
lovely arrangement of flowers in the
patios, all on a scale that was compre-

hensive and yet delightful, resulted in
an effect that allowed, or rather induced
visitors to fall in love with it. The
Botanical building at San Diego is the
largest lath covered structure in ex-
istence and contains an excellent collec-
tion of tropical and semi-tropical plants.
In front of it is a most delightful pool
filled with water lilies. But again, as
we leave Jthe exposition, we are im-
pressed dcnbly with the wonderful quan-
tijIjtiiPxtent and success of the plantings
^ver the hills and down into the can-
yons, plantings that include the coni-
fers, palms, banana plants, acacias and
eucalyptus; but the complete list is pub-
lished in the official guide, made up by
Paul G. Thiene, who has been superin-
tendent of the planting and whose work
has been well done.

At San Francisco.

With reference to the San Francisco
exposition, Mr. Pyle paid a glowing
tribute to the artistic effect brought out,
not only by the general plan and by the
wonderful architecture, but also by the
harmony of color effects, the finishing
touches of which had been given by a
wonderful use of plants and flowers, and
evidence of the skill displayed by John
McLaren, superintendent of Golden
Gate park, who with able assistants has
been able to work out many surprising
effects.

Mr. Pyle referred to the avenues of
palms, to the fact that huge trees,
twenty, thirty and forty feet high, had
been moved bodily, for practically all
the space four or five years ago was
unplanted. He said that undoubtedly
the most noteworthy piece of planting
in connection with the exposition is the
wall of ice plant, Mesembryanthemum
spectabile, made by plant^ig cuttings
in flats, two feet wide by six feet long,
and when fairly started these placed on
edge, one over the other, and watered
by a system of irrigation pipes which
keeps : them constantly moist from the
top, ,

He referred to the wonderful color

effect that had been produced by the
alternate planting in the courts, the
Court of Abundance, the Court of the
Seasons, and the Court of the Flowers,
such as the following: For example,
starting with daffodils, all yellow, these
were followed with yellow tulips, Bou-
ton d'Or, and these in turn followed
by the yellow violets, not less than
200,000 of each in a single one of these
courts, which gives some idea of the
scope and extent to which the planting
has been carried. In another court the
season began with something like 8,000
rhododendrons, followed by an equal
number of hydrangeas in tubs; whereas
in the parkway plantings alongside the
lagoon, outside the Horticultural build-
ing, were similar quantities of Begonia
Erfordii. Nothing, not even the path-
ways and the fire alarm signal boxes,
was allowed in the color effect to
clash one note from the general har-
mony of the entire scheme.

Mr. Pyle was much interested in the
roses that were exhibited in the con-
test for the $1,000 prize for the best
rose, to be named by the exposition
authorities. The roses in this contest
are being judged every week, points
regularly recorded, the result not to
be decided until the end of the exposi-
tion. A gold medal has been awarded
to E. Gill Nursery Co. for roses. There
are fine displays of conifers from the
New England firms, of gladioli ana
dahlias. C. C. Morse & Co. showed
the finest display of annuals and was
complimented on the results obtained
by the cordon system of growing sweet
peas, still in full bloom.

Mr. Pyle paid warm praise to Carl
Purdy for his work in, ca^ng for the
exhibits; to John Mol^aren iort ^^at
he has done, not only on the exposi-
tion, but for his monumental work in
making out of a flat, uninteresting
piece of land, the wonderful Golden
Gate park, into which he has built
lakes, waterfalls, streams and hillsides,
all of which look as natural as if na-
ture herself had planted them.

price than any of the others and is the

POTTED FEBNS.

In the south, September is the best
month in which to lift the ferns from
the frames, to get them in shape for
fall and wiiiter sales. After the suck-
ers have all been "removed, the ferns
should be either replanted in the frame
for another month, boxed, or planted on
a side table near the glass. Use good
soil, with one-third old manure, for
potting, and keep the plants shaded a
little for a week or two, but give plenty
of ventilation.

Nephrolepis Smithii, when above 4-
inch size, should be placed in shallow
pans, as it does not root deeply. Be-
sides, it looks much better in a pan
than in a pot. The plants should be
stood on inverted pots, to keep the fpli-
age from touching the benches and to
insure a good circulation of air
through them. Avoid crowding this
variety and be careful to keep water
from the foliage. It costs more to grow
this variety, but it brings a better

FREESIAS AS POT PLANTS.

The first batch of freesias for pot
plants, in the south, should be started
as soon as possible. Five bulbs in a
4-inch pot or ten in a 6-inch azalea pot
make a good show. They can remain
out in a coldframe for a month yet.
Keep the weeds down and water freely.
It does not pay to try to force them
for Christmas. They do better if al-
lowed to come along at a temperature
of 50 degrees or a little over. Plant
a few every month, to have a succes-
sion. Where there is little danger of
frost they do exceedingly well in a
sash-covered coldframe. L.

what date should they be brought in
to force to have full blooms for Christ-
mas f Can Boman hyacinths be suc-
cessfully grown in flats and be trans-
planted to pots when in bloom t Can
Dutch hyacinths be forced as early as
Christmas, and are they profitable at
that time? E. O. C. — Ala.

Dutch hyacinths cannot be forced
for Christmas. Bring them into the
house after New Year's, which is as
early as they can be forced for profit.
All bulbs intended for early forcing
should be boxed as early as possible.
A coldframe is better than a cellar in
Alabama. Soak thoroughly after box-
ing, sprinkle a little sand over the
boxes and cover the bulbs with three
or four inches of some old, light soil.
Boman hyacinths brought into the
heat twenty-five to thirty days before
Christmas will flower in time. I have
never tried forcing Narcissus rugu-
losus for Christmas, but it forces eas-
ily a little later. I would suggest that
you try Grand Soleil d'Or if you want
a yellow narcissus for Christmas. It
forces as do Boman hyacinths and
Paper Whites. By all means box your
Boman hyacinths and transfer them to
pots or pans when in bloom. This is
the only way to get an even-flowered
pot, especially early in the season. L.

BEAFINa THE BENEFIT.

"In many instances we have reaped
the benefit of illustrations and write-
ups which have appeared in the columns
of The Eeview from time to time."
So say Kemble & Goodman, of Mason
City, la. Perhaps, in turn, other read-
ers of The Beview may reap some
beiiefit ' from tM [ acconipanying repro-
duction of a photograph of the exhibit
at the North Iowa fair staged by
Kemble & Goodman.

A rather elaborate garden, in which
are a fountain, geranium beds, shrubs,
birds, lawn and paths, serves as a set-
ting for the wax young lady who has
apparently been working therein but
now is greeting the youth who appears
at the gate with a box of flowers under
his arm. The decorations were well
done, and the exhibit attracted much
attention. Perhaps part of the atten-
tion was directed to the assortment
of puns in the sign, there being no
less than three in that number of lines.
At any rate, Kemble & Goodman re-
gard the exhibit as having been good
advertising.

SOWING SEEDS OF PERENNIALS.

Kindly let me "know the proper time
to sow seeds of the following list of
perennials so as to have flowers, for
next summer: Anchusa Italica, holly-
hocks, baptisias, coreopsis, Achillea The
Pearl, delphiniums, physostegias, Lych-
nis Chalcedonica, hardy lupines, sweet
Williams, aquilegias, perennial poppies,
liatris and hardy phloxes.

B. S. T.— Conn.

You are somewhat late in sowing
seeds of the hardy plants named. You
can, however, still sow all of them,
but lose no time in doing so. Some
varieties, naturally of quick germina-
tion, will make fair-sized plants before
winter. Among these are hollyhocks,
coreopsis, anchusas, lupines, sweet Wil-
liams and perennial poppies., I pre-
sume that the poppies you have in
mind are Papaver orientale. The
aquilegias, phloxes, physostegias, etc..

Display at North Iowa Fair by Kemble & Goodman, Masco City, la.

are slower growers and will only make
small plants this fall. All varieties
you name would have been much bet-
ter if sown during the first half of
July.

If you have coldframes at disposal,
I would priefer to sow the seeds there.
Screen the top soil, which should con-
tain plenty of leaf-mold, and make an
even surface. After the seeds are sown
and watered, shade with lath shades
or cheesecloth to prevent drying out.
Use a watering can and not the hose on
the seedlings while they are small, and,
protect them from drenching rains.
The more robust kinds could go out
into nursery rows, but the majority will
be much better if you carry them O'rer

in frames, covering them with dry
leaves when they are frozen, and plac-
ing sashes over them. Seed can also
be sown outdoors if frames are not at
disposal. Make a bed thr«e feet wj^e
and pulverize the soil well before sow-
ing. C. W.

served at the expositions of San Diego
and San Francisco, especially the latter.

The San Diego Exposition.

At San Diego it is most interesting to
reflect that about four or five years ago
the site of the exposition was hills, can-
yons and ravines, clothed with nothing
but sagebrush, that for every tree
planted the hole had to be blasted and
that for everything now growing there
had to be constant irrigation during the
dry season, which is still going on. The
extent of territory thus covered and now
turned over to the park department of
the city of San Diego is noteworthy.
The exposition, which cost perhaps
$2,000,000 to construct, will to a large
extent remain. The planting at this
exposition has been done with great
taste, that along the Prado, or main ave-
nue, and especially t^e Plaza Panama,
proving especially noteworthy. The ar-
rangement and setting were distinctly
in good taste. The brilliant purple of
the bougainvilleas, the perfect wealth
of color given by the use of cannas
throughout the shrubbery planting, the
lovely arrangement of flowers in the
patios, all on a scale that was compre-

hensive and yet delightful, resulted in
an effect that allowed, or rather induced
visitors to fall in love with it. The
Botanical building at San Diego is the
largest lath covered structure in ex-
istence and contains an excellent collec-
tion of tropical and semi-tropical plants.
In front of it is a most delightful pool
filled with water lilies. But again, as
we leave the exposition, we are im-
pressed dodbly with the wonderful quan-
tij^jr^i^xtent and success of the plantings
over the hills and down into the can-
yons, plantings that include the coni-
fers, palms, banana plants, acacias and
eucalyptus; but the complete list is pub-
lished in the official guide, made up by
Paul G. Thiene, who has been superin-
tendent of the planting and whose work
has been well done.

At San Francisco.

With reference to the San Francisco
exposition, Mr. Pyle paid a glowing
tribute to the artistic effect brought out,
not only by the general plan and by the
wonderful architecture, but also by the
harmony of color effects, the finishing
touches of which had been given by a
wonderful use of plants and flowers, and
evidence of the skill displayed by John
McLaren, superintendent of Golden
Gate park, who with able assistants has
been able to work out many surprising
effects.

Mr. Pyle referred to the avenues of
palms, to the fact that huge trees,
twenty, thirty and forty feet high, had
been moved bodily, for practically all
the space four or five years ago was
unplanted. He said that undoubtedly
the most noteworthy piece of planting
in connection with the exposition is the
wall of ice plant, Mesembryanthemum
spectabile, made by planting cuttings
in flats, two feet wide by six feet long,
and when fairly started these placed on
edge, one over the other, and watered
by a system of irrigation pipes which
keeps them constantly moist from the
top.

He referred to the wonderful color

effect that had been produced by the
alternate planting in the courts, the
Court of Abundance, the Court of the
Seasons, and the Court of the Flowers,
such as the following: For example,
starting with daffodils, all yellow, these
were followed with yellow tulips, Bou-
ton d'Or, and these in turn followed
by the yellow violets, not less than
200,000 of each in a single one of these
courts, which gives some idea of the
scope and extent to which the planting
has been carried. In another court the
season began ,with something like 8,000
rhododendrons, followed by an equal
number of hydrangeas in tubs; whereas
in the parkway plantings alongside the
lagoon, outside the Horticultural build-
ing, were similar quantities of Begonia
Erfordii. Nothing, not even the path-
ways and the fire alarm signal boxes,
was allowed in the color effect to
clash one note from the general har-
mony of the entire scheme.

Mr. Pyle was much interested in the
roses that were exhibited in the con-
test for the $1,000 prize for the best
rose, to be named by the exposition
authorities. The roses in this contest
are being judged every week, points
regularly recorded, the result not to
be decided until the end of the exposi-
tion. A gold medal has been awarded
to E. Gill Nursery Co. for roses. There
are fine displays of conifers from the
New England firms, of gladioli ana
dahlias. C. C. Morse & Co. showed
the finest display of annuals and was
complimented on the results obtained
by the cordon system of growing sweet
peas, still in full bloom.

Mr. Pyle paid warm praise to Carl
Purdy for his work in caring for the
exhibits; to John McLaren for what
he has done, not only on the exposi-
tion, but for his monumental work in
making out of a flat, uninteresting
piece of land, the wonderful Golden
Gate park, into which he has built
lakes, waterfalls, streams and hillsides,
all of which look as natural as if na-
ture herself had planted them.

POTTED FERNS.

In the south, September is the best
month in which to lift the ferns from
the frames, to get them in shape for
fall and winter sales. After the suck-
ers have all been removed, the ferns
should be either replanted in the frame
for another month, boxed, or planted on
a side table near the glass. Use good
soil, with one-third old manure, for
potting, and keep the plants shaded a
little for a week or two, but give plenty
of ventilation.

Nephrolepis Smithii, when above 4-
inch size, should be placed in shallow
pans, as it does not root deeply. Be-
sides, it looks much better in a pan
than in a pot. The plants should be
stood on inverted pots, to keep the foli-
age from touching the benches and to
insure a good circulation of air
through them. Avoid crowding this
variety and be careful to keep water
from the foliage. It costs more to grow
this variety, but it brings a better

price than any of the others and is the
readiest seller during the winter sea-
son, when in good shape. L.

FBEESIAS AS POT PLANTS.

The first batch of freesias for pot
plants, in the south, should be started
as soon as possible. Five bulbs in a
4-inch pot or ten in a 6-inch azalea pot
make a good show. They can remain
out in a coldframe for a month yet.
Keep the weeds down and water freely.
It does not pay to try to force them
for Christmas. They do better if al-
lowed to come along at a temperature
of 50 degrees or a little over. Plant
a few every month, to have a succes-
sion. Where there is little danger of
frost they do exceedingly well in a
sash-covered coldframe. L.

hyacinth and Narcissus rugulosus bulbs

what date should they be brought in
to force to have full blooms for Christ-
mas? Can Koman hyacinths be suc-
cessfully grown in flats and be trans-
planted to pots when in bloom? Can
Dutch hyacinths be forced as early as
Christmas, and are they profitable at
that time? E. O, C— Ala.

DutcV hyacinths cannot be forced
for Christmas. Bring them into the
house after New Year's, which is as
early as they can be forced for profit.
All bulbs intended for early forcing
should be boxed as early as possible.
A coldframe is better than a cellar in
Alabama. Soak thoroughly after box-
ing, sprinkle a little sand over the
boxes and cover the bulbs with three
or four inches of some old, light soil.
Roman hyacinths brought into the
heat twenty-five to thirty days before
Christmas will flower in time. I have
never tried forcing Narcissus rugu-
losus for Christmas, but it forces eas-
ily a little later. I would suggest that
you try Grand Soleil d'Or if you want
a yellow narcissus for Christmas. It
forces as do Roman hyacinths and
Paper Whites. By all means box your
Roman hyacinths and transfer them to
pots or pans when in bloom. This is
the only way to get an- even-flowered
pot, especially early in the season. L.

REAPING THE BENEFIT.

"In many instances we have reaped
the benefit of illustrations and write-
ups which have appeared in the colujnns
of The Review from time to time."
So say Kemble & Goodman, of Mason
City, la. Perhaps, in turn, other read-
ers of The Review may reap some
benefit from the' accompanying repro-
duction of a photograph of the exhibit
at the North Iowa fair staged by
Kemble & Goodman.

A rather elaborate garden, in which
are a fountain, geranium beds, shrubs,
birds, lawn and paths, serves as a set-
ting for the wax young lady who has
apparently been working therein but
now is greeting the youth who appears
at the gate with a box of flowers under
his arm. The decorations were well
done, and the exhibit attracted much
attention. Perhaps part of the atten-
tion was directed to the assortment
of puns in the sign, there being no
less than three in that number of lines.
At any rate, Kemble & Goodman re-
gard the exhibit as having been good
advertising.

SOWING SEEDS OF PERENNIALS.

Kindly let me "know the proper time
to sow seeds of the following list of
perennials so as to have flowers for
next summer: Anchusa Italica, holly-
hocks, baptisias, coreopsis, Achillea The
Pearl, delphiniums, physostegias, Lych-
nis Chalcedonica, hardy lupines, sweet
Williams, aquilegias, perennial poppies,
liatris and hardy phloxes.

R. S. T.— Conn.

You are somewhat late in sowing
seeds of the hardy plants named. You
can, however, still sow all of them,
but lose no time in doing so. Some
varieties, naturally of quick germina-
tion, will make fair-sized plants before
winter. Among these are hollyhocks,
coreopsis, anchusas, lupines, sweet Wil-
liams and perennial poppies., I pre-
sume that the poppies you have in
mind are Papaver orientale. The
aquilegias, phloxes, physostegias, etc.,

Display at North Iowa Fair by Kemble & Goodman, Masoa City, la.

are slower growers and will only make
small plants this fall. All varieties
you name would have been much bet-
ter if sown during the first half of
July.

If you have coldframes at disposal,
I would prefer to sow the seeds there.
Screen the top soil, which should con-
tain plenty of leaf-mold, and make an
even surface. After the seeds are sown
and watered, shade with lath shades
or cheesecloth to prevent drying out.
Use a watering can and not the hose on
the seedlings while they are small, and
protect them from drenching rains.
The more robust kinds could go out
into nursery rows, but the majority will
be much better if you carry them orcr

in frames, covering them with dry
leaves when they are frozen, and plac-
ing sashes over them. Seed can also
be sown outdoors if frames are not at
disposal. Make a bed three feet wide
and pulverize the soil well before sow-
ing. C. W.

FILLING AN IDLE HOUR.

Even during the slack days of sum-
mer the employees at the store of the
Idle Hour Nurseries, Macon, Ga., keep
busy. Of course, there are more ways
than one of keeping busy at that store.
The accompanying illustration shows
how the force daily filled an otherwise
idle hour on the back porch of the es-
tablishment.

both shoots be tied to one string f These
plants are strong and healthy and about
six to nine inches high. Are they too
far advanced? Some of the taller
plants have formed a bud like the one
enclosed. Around the bud are several
shoots. I have pinched all the shoots
off but one, and also the bud. Is this
correct? H. A. C. — Ala.

FEBTLLIZEB FOB MUMS.

"We are anxious to grow some espe-
cially large chrysanthemums this year.
Heretofore we have relied on good cow
manure alone, used both as a mulch
and in liquid form, and have always
obtained good results, but we should
like to produce something still better.
Is there a better fertilizer for chrysan-
themums? How about nitrate of soda?
If this is better, how should it be ap-
plied, in what quantities and how
often? T. T.— Ky.

Cow manure, either as a liquid or a
mulch, is an excellent fertilizer for
chrysanthemums or any other plant in
the greenhouse. I do not know of any-
thing better, but it can be assisted by
the use of chemical fertilizers. We
used nitrate of soda considerably, but
found we were doing more harm than
good, as this excellent fertilizer does
not seem to work out so well on mums
as on other stock. Nitrate of potash
will give much better results, but the
safest chemical, in my experience, to
use in con.junction with other fertilizers
for mums is sulphate of ammonia. Any
of the foregoing fertilizers can be used
in the proportion of one pound to fifty
gallons of water, and when the plants
are large and healthy it can be applied
once a week as a change from the other
fertilizer. Chas. H. Totty.

FEEDING CHBYSANTHEMUMS.

I have a fine standing of Mrs. Henry
Bobinson chrysanthemums, but the
leaves are not large and thick. How
should I treat them to secure large,
thick, green leaves? G. K. — La.

In your section, Louisiana, where
blooms are grown outdoors, I should
judge that the reason the leaves of
Mrs. Henry Robinson are not larger is
that the cuttings from which the
plants were made were small and thin.
A good, healthy cutting, even though
it be small, should make a good plant.
If your plants are set too closely, the
leaves will be small. Now is the proper
time to feed if the plants are in shape
to take the food. By this I mean, it
the plants have made a reasonable
growth and are well rooted in their
quarters. It is useless to feed plants
that are small and weak and sickly in
their growth, and are growing in un-
congenial surroundings. If the plants
are healthy, even though small, they
can assimilate their food, and should
be given a liquid made from either
cow or sheep manure, applied at every
other watering. This liquid can be
changed to an application of chemical
fertilizer, such as sulphate of am-
monia, in the proportion of a 4-inch
pot to a kerosene barrel of water. It
sometimes happens that the plants are
green and healthy, but their upward
growth is retarded. This is what is
known as "stuck." In such a ease,
nitrate of soda, used in the same pro-
portion as the sulphate of ammonia, is
valuable, and as a rule will start the

plants upward, though I have found it
advisable not to use too much nitrate
of soda. The difference between the
large flowers of an expert and the
medium or small flowers of the aver-
age grower is caused by the different
methods of feeding. I am aware that
some growers make their soil rich at
planting time and expect this to carry
the plants through the blooming
season. I am also aware that
growers who feed their plants after
the bud is taken in September, ail
other things being equal, produce the
best flowers. Chas. H. Totty.

STBING SUPPOBTS FOB MUMS.

Please give me some advice on sup-
porting my chrysanthemums. I have
some Polly Rose plants which will bear
two flowers and I intend to support
them by the twine system. Should I
tie two strings to each plant, or can

The usual method of stringing for
supporting plants is to run up a string
for each shoot, though it is by no means
unusual to see two or more shoots tied
on one string. I would not advise this
in the case of Polly Rose, which is
liable to become crooked in the stem
after throwing the bud. Plants are by
no means too far advanced when six
or nine inches high. In fact, they
should be that height to get the best
results. The bud forming is a per-
fectly natural proceeding, and it was
all right to remove it, though I would
have left more than one shoot until
they began growing nicely. By leav-
ing two shoots, if one happens to run
blind, there is still another shoot to
rely on. Chas. H. Totty.

Bamblers for Early Forcing.

Pot-grown rambler roses are the best
for early forcing. If these are not
available, the next best are field-
grown plants which are home-grown
and can be lifted and potted now. If
these roses have had the shoots tied
up and were not allowed to ramble
over the ground, they will be firmer
and much better ripened. The ends
of the shoots will still be soft and
growing. Cut off the soft ends when
potting. Pack the soil well about
the roots and do not allow the roots
to dry out any more than is absolutely
necessary. These roses, potted now, will
make a lot of roots in the pots before
really cold weather sets in and will be far
better for early forcing purposes than
stock potted in late October or Novem-
ber. Such kinds as Tausendschon,
Lady Gay and Hiawatha are good for
early work; so, also, are the polyan-
thas or baby ramblers, such as
Catherine Zeimet, Mrs. Cutbush and
Orleans.

Planting Hardy Evergreens.

There have been few seasons as fine
as the present for the moving of such
evergreens as retinosporas, abies,
thuyas, pinus, rhododendrons, kalmias
and andromedas. Too much of the
planting is left until spring, when nurs-
eries are practically overwhelmed with
orders. Much of this planting can be
more successfully done in late summer,
when duties are less manifold and ur-
gent. Any of the shrubs or trees
named and some others can be moved
now, provided they do not remain out
of the ground too long. Prepare liberal

Holes, firm the roots well and water
abundantly. Spray occasionally if we
get a spell of hot, dry weather, and
there will be few, if any, losses.

Pachysandra Terminalis.

An evergreen that is of low growth
and well adapted for borders, ground
covers, etc., is Pachysandra terminalis.
It does not grow quite so rapidly as
euonymus, but, once established, soon
covers the ground. It is easily propa-
gated from cuttings, which, if taken
now, can be rooted in coldframes in
the same way as euonymus, or during
the late fall and winter it can be eas-
iljY rooted in flats in any ordinary
greenhouse. In the spring the plants
can be put out in nursery rows. Both
euonymus and pachysandra are ex-
cellent plants for covering graves.
They make a pleasant change from the
omnipresent vinca or myrtle and
smother out weeds much better than
the last named plant.

Genistas.
Genistas which have been plunged
overhead will have made considerable
roots, both above and below the pots,
and when lifted will usually need a
shift into pots a size larger. The
plants will wilt for a few days, but,
if sprayed freely and protected from
the direct sunlight, will soon stiffen
up. Where formal specimens are
wanted, the plants should be given an-
other shearing. Many customers do
not like these topiary-like plants, but
prefer them grown more naturally. Bet-
ter grow a few the latter way and see
which your buyers prefer.

ST. PAUL, MINN.

The Market.

Conditions have not reached their
normal state. Business is extremely
quiet and stock of all kinds is coming
into this market in abundance. Fash-
ion week will take a great number
of palms and also cut flowers and
should be the real opening of the fall
season.

State Fair Awards.

The state fair premium list was
more complete this year than in the
past, amounting to $1,305. The stock
shown was of the finest and exhibitors
displayed more interest by more entries
then ever before.

To encourage florists' clubs, a special
class was added and the St. Paul I'lo-
rists' Club and the Minneapolis Flo-
rists' Club competed. The Minneapolis
club was awarded first prize silver cup,
on a pretty arrangement of waterwheel,
fountain, stream and hills, all present-
ing a fine landscape effect, showing an
assortment of plant stock and cut
flowers. The St. Paul club showed
fine plant and cut flower stock, also
a carpet bedding effect around an elec-
tric fountain.

In the competitive classes Holm &
Olson, Inc., was the largest exhibitor
and prize winner, taking thirty-one
first premiums, ten second and three
third premiums on forty-four entries.
The Merriam Park Floral Co. took
three first premiums, eleven seconds
and two thirds. The Minneapolis
Floral Co. took four firsts, thirteen sec-
onds and ten thirds, being the second
largest exhibitor. Nagel's Greenhouses,
Minneapolis, took five third and four
fourth premiums. D. W. C. Euff, of St.
Paul, took first in all six classes for gla-
dioli. F. F. Farrar, of St. Paul, took one
first and two seconds on asters. Other ex-
hibitors and prize winners included River-
side Greenhouses, of St. Paul, and Oscar
Amundson, George Long, Mrs. L. H.
Sherin and H. F. Baker, of Minne-
apolis.

W. H. Bofferding, of Minneapolis,
was in charge of the department and
the judging was most satisfactorily
done by August Swanson.

State Florists' Association.

The annual meeting of the Minne-
sota State Florists' Association is held
during the state fair and this year
brought out an unusually large at-
tendance. Officers for 1915-16 were
elected as follows:

President — William Desmond, of
Minneapolis.

Vice-president — Max Kaiser, of Min-
neapolis.

Secretary — Thomas Rodgers.

Treasurer— E. P. Holm, of St. Paul.

A. Miller, of Chicago, who was pres-
ent, urged the formation of a party to
attend the Chicago and Cleveland shows
in November and it is thought a dele-
gation of thirty-five will be obtained
as representing the Twin Cities.

Various Notes.

The Ramaley Floral Exchange, for
many years at the corner of Seventh
and St. Peter streets, was compelled
to vacate, to make room for a more
modern building, which is to be erected
on that site. "The new home of Rama-
ley's is 9 West Ninth street and this
should prove a fine location.

The St. Paul Florists' Club will hold

its first autumn meeting at O. R. Eck-
hardt'a store, September 21.

Visitors: Calvin Kinsman, of

Austin, Minn.; IL. Maths, en route to
Fargo, N. D., from Chicago; T. Mc-
Allister, of Chicago; P. Claussen, of
Albert Lea, Minn.; N. Clarine, of Fari-
bault, Minn. C. R. F.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The hottest week of the year caused
almost an utter collapse of the cut
flower market Saturday, September 11.
The temperature on many days of the
week approached close to 100 degrees
in the shade. The week end found
boxes, cellars and store windows
crowded with unsold and unsalable
stock, especially asters, to which there
seemed to be no limit.

Few of the aster shipments were sold,
even at the unheard of concessions
made. At 4 p. m. Saturday, Septem-
ber 11, I saw a wholesale florist offer
everything in asters in his store, many
hundreds of bunches, for $3, and the
best offer a large buyer made him for
the lot was 50 cents.

Roses showed the effect of the heat
badly, and only selected stock brought
even mentionable figures. No. 2 grades
fell back to midsummer rates again.
Some Beauties and a few of the nov-
elties, when perfect, brought good fig-
ures, but there were few of them. The
medium and low grades of all sold in
thousand lots as low as $5 per thousand.

An increase in carnation shipments
is noticeable, but quality is still an
"unknown quantity." Prices remain
at 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred.

Orchids are again abundant, and
prices are falling. Few Cattleya gigas
bring over 40 cents. An abundance
of oncidiums helps to make the retail
windows attractive. The orchid stock
arriving is perfect.

Lilies are again in oversupply. The
best were selling at $4 per hundred Sep-
tember 11. Valley is not moving, they
say, and the price corresponds, the top
not rising above $3 per hundred.

The gladiolus shipments continue
larger than expected, but another week
should see the last of them for this
season. The heat and storms made
havoc with them and asters. Dahlias
of the commoner grade are already in
surplus. Cosmos, tritomas, coreopsis,
bouvardias, calendulas, hydrangeas and
goldenrod complete the list of season-
able flowers.

Club Meeting.

The first meeting of the Florists'
Club for the season was held September
13, President Bunyard in the chair.
The attendance was close to 100. The
guest of honor was Mrs. B. Hammond
Tracy, of Wenham, Mass., who gave an
interesting stereopticon lecture on the
gladiolus, supplemented by a brief ad-
dress on the same subject by ' Prof.
John S. Adriance, of Williams College,
Williamstown, Mass. The lecture by
Mrs. Tracy was most practical and the
lady graciously answered many ques-
tions from the club 's critics and ex-
perts. Her exhibit of unnamed gla-
dioli in many varieties, staged by Max
Schling, received special mention.

A new pink mum grown by Frank
Dinda, of Farmingdale, was staged by
Guttman & Raynor. The committee
awarded it eighty-two points. C. H.

Totty exhibited the new pink rose,
Gorgeous, awarded eighty-seven points.
P. W. Popp snowed seventy-five vari-
eties of gladioli and fifteen varieties
of giant single dahlias. Arthur Cowee
sent some fine gladioli in twenty-four
varieties. Knight & Struck Co. had a
fiaif exhibit, staged by Maurice Fuld,
and some of the fii;e«t unnamed gla-
dioli, by T. A. Havemeyer. The club 's
thanks were awarded all the exhibits.

Chairman A. L. "Miller made a satis-
factory report for the flower show
committee, including the securing of
the Grand Central Palace, on similar
terms to those of 1915. The work of
the committee was approved and it was
empowered to act, the chairman of the
joint committees being F. R. Pierson,
of Tarrytown, N. Y. Messrs. Totty,
O'Mara, Weathered and Traendly took
part in the interesting discussion.

A. J. Guttman read the report of
the outing committee. A change of
location and methods was suggested
for the outing of 1916.

C. P. Heitzmann, George Hilden-
brand and John Scheepers were elected
to membership and A. F. Baldwin was
nominated.

The secretary read an interesting
letter from R. C. Kerr, of Houston, as
to the coming convention of the S. A.
F. and suggested a change of date to
the last week of June or the first week
of July. The suggestion will be con-
sidered at the October meeting.

Announcement was made by Presi-
dent Bunyard of the deaths of Samuel
Thome, Lawrence Kervan and Edwin
Lonsdale and a committee was appoint-
ed to draw up suitable resolutions.

A letter was read from Secretary
Lane, of the American Dahlia Society,
now over 100 members, announcing the
society 's first show, September 24 to
26, and asking the cooperation of the
club 'a members in making it a success.

Secretary Young reminded the club
of the meeting of the New York Fed-
eration of Floral Clubs at Syracuse
September 16 and also gave an inter-
esting account of his stay in California.

Various Notes.

Oscar Schultz and family, of New-
port, R. I., have enjoyed their vaca-
tion in New York city and on an auto-
mobile trip through New England.

A. Kakuda, of the Yokohama Nurs-
ery Co., has returned from the San
Francisco exposition, where he had
charge of the firm's extensive exhibit.

President Vincent, of the American
Dahlia Society, was in the city Thurs-
day, September 9, attending the special
meeting of the new organization, at
the Grand hotel. Much enthusiasm
was manifested, and the indications
for a great success were most encour-
aging. The society has already nearly
100 members. The show will open Fri-
day, September 24, and continue
through Sunday, September 26. Some
of the leading retailers, including Max
Schling, Geo. E. M. Stumpp, A. Kott-
miller and Myer, will exhibit.

A. Kottmiller has built a new ice-
box and added pergola effects to his
stores. He will have his new Stude-
baker automobile in commission Sep-
tember 16. Mr. Kottmiller has the
flower department at the Vanderbilt
hotel. Adolph Behr is in charge.

Joseph Barnitt, of Alex. McCon-
nell's force, and Mrs. Barnitt have re-
turned from a two months' trip to the
coast. Drew Scott and wife are en-

Bellamy Bros., Syracuse, N. Y., have
substituted concrete for wooden
benches in one house. The center
bench is 6^4x154 feet; the two side
benches are each 3^x154 feet. Harry
Bellamy figures they saved more than
$150 in first cost of material and labor.
He will be glad to give details to any
Review reader who is interested. He
has no patent on the construction.

F. H. Ebeling, Syracuse, reports one
of the best seasons in his long ex-
perience, both in seeds and sundries.
Bulbs are secondary, owing to late
calls for farm seeds.

P. R. Quinlan, Syracuse, is showing
some first-rate asters. This section is
peculiarly adapted to their culture
both for blooms and for seeds.

W. C. Rowlands, Utica, N. Y., is
quite optimistic at this time, his wife
hp,ving successfully undergone a se-
rious operation. Dr. Rowlands com-
plains of having a surplus stock of
gold on hand, something unusual these
days, but in his case due to depression
in the dental business. This is, how-
ever, picking up with the general im-
provement in trade conditions. He is
growing sweet peas and carnations al-
most exclusively, chiefly Rosette, which
seems to do better than Mrs. C. W,
Ward in this soil.

Milton T. Jones, the seedsman of
Utica, iis whiling away a few weeks
at Alexandria Bay, following an ex-
ceptionally good season. His manager,
L. V. Vanderwood, is a successful
raiser of and authority on prize poul-
try, which, as he says, fit in nicely, even
if only as an advertisement.

Frank Baker has chrysanthemums,
Wm. Mathews cattleyas and Wm.
Pfeifer carnations, all quite promising,
so that Utica may be tempted to ex-
hibit at Cleveland. Dr. Rowlands is
particularly interested, voicing the
opinion of many that exhibitions,
whether trade or otherwise, are the
life of trade. This summer he has fur-
nished flowers from his garden for the
dining tables of the largest dry goods
house in this city, free of charge, on
the theory that the patrons will be-
come so accustomed to their presence
that the caterer will see the advisa-
bility of continuing their use when
stock is scarce and must be purchased.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

August trade showed a decided im-
provement of business when compared
with that of last year. September has
opened most hopefully. The disagree-
able and sultry weather continues. Al-
though roses are coming into crop lux-
uriantly, great difficulty ia experienced
in carrying them a short distance, even
when well iced and carefully boxed.
Such weather has never been known
here, and it is sincerely hoped that an-
other week or two will bring a change
for the better.

Violets are already arriving in small
quantities and indications are for a
good crop during the next few weeks.

Hoosier Beauty, Shawyer, Russell,
Ophelia, Stanley and Brunner are some
of the newer varieties of roses being
grown here this year, and judging by

the present demand, the change from
the older varieties is thoroughly appre-
ciated. In Ophelia and Shawyer the
public has two greater favorites than
have appeared on the Canadian market
for a considerable time.

Various Notes.

Work around the greenhouses at the
Dale Estate is more backward than
usual at this time of the year, owing
to the enlistment of many of the
hands. No less than four growers left
for the front during the last fortnight,
two of them being men whose services
have been much valued.

Many visited the Toronto exhibition
last week, where the flower section
was of great attraction. A fine orchid
exhibit was shown by the Dale Estate,
which secured a gold medal and first
prize. The chief prize-winners in the
various groups were:

Bride's bouquet — S. A. Frost, first; George
Bonnett, second; Thomas Manton, third.

Presentation basliet — George Bonnett, first; S.
A. Frost, second; H. 6. Dlllemuth, third.

Centerpiece — H. G. Dlllemuth, first; Thomas
Manton, second; S. A. Frost, third.

Table decoration — S. A. Frost, first; H. G.
Dlllemuth, second; Thomas Manton, third.

Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dale returned
last week from their visit to the San
Francisco exposition.

Among the visitors last week were
O. L. Smith, of Smiths Falls; James
Wilson, of Woodstock; T. C. Graham,
Wingham; George Urban, Jr., Buf-
falo, N. Y.; C. M. Critchison, Berlin;
E. J. Wortley, superintendent of the
department of horticulture, Bermuda
islands, and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Burns,
of Negritus, Peru. W. G. P.

KNOXVILLE, TENit,

The Market.

The weather last week was good.
It was more like summer than any
other week during the season.

Trade has been exceedingly good for
some time. There has been much fu-
neral work. The first bulbs have been
received, and the sales aro better than
usual so early in the season. Narcissus
bulbs appear to be of better quality
than usual. Fall weddings have began,
and, from the number of announcements
made, they promise a good season for
the florist. It is hoped that the fall
season will make up for the poor spring
season.

Stock is scarce, and on many oc-
casions it takes scraping to fill orders.
Dahlias are the main crop. Roses are
fair, but the supply is limited. With
the exception of a few stragglers,
asters are gone. New mountain ferns
and galax are beginning to come in,
and they are fine because of the heavy
rains of spring and summer.

Various Notes.

C. L. Baum, Floyd Baum and Will
Ryno recently made a pleasant and
profitable trip through the Carolinas,
stopping at Asheville, N. C, where they
reported seeing fine stock at the
Brownhurst Greenhouses and the E. C.
Dickinson place. They also stopped at
Spartanburg, S. C, visiting Chas. A.
Moss.

All of the florists who indorsed Prof.
G. M. Bentley as state entomologist
were much disappointed when he failed
to get the appointment. Prof. Bentley
has held this position for a number of
years and is an unusually good man in
this line of work. He has been a great
help to the florists and ornamental
nurserymen throughout the state.

The officers and committeemen of the
Tennessee State Florists' Society will
meet in the near future to discuss the

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

A week of unseasonably warm
weather brought large quantities of
stock to the market, and as the de-
mand was light, there was a small-sized
glut. Asters, roses and dahlias formed
the bulk of the supplies. The Jenkins
funeral created a rush in the whole-
sale market and among a few of the
retailers. Only the best stock was
called for. Beauties, valley, cattleyas
and lilies were mostly used, but as the
majority of this line came from out-
of-town, the local supply was unaf-
fected by the increased demand. The
Hebrew New Year trade, while light,
helped to relieve the congestion.
Dahlias are coming in heavily, but are
not meeting, with, ^h© sale of former
years. Mtitas 'are bfecomiilg noticeable.
Carnations still are rather poor.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club was held Septem-
ber 13. The night was hot and close,
which brought out only a few mem-
bers. President Hamilton occupied the
chair. As the carnival parade was
held that evening, the routine business
of the meeting was transacted as
quickly as possible. Richard Vincent,
Jr., extended an invitation to the club
to attend his firm 's annual dahlia show,
at White Marsh, the week of Septem-
ber 28. It was decided to name Sep-
tember 29 as Florists' Club day at the
show. Mr. Vincent spoke on the show
of the American Dahlia Society, to be
held at New York, September 24 to
26, and invited all interested to ex-
hibit and attend the show.

Various Notes.

Several florists will shortly add auto
delivery to their services. John Cook
will use an Overland and M. P. John- ^
ston will put his second car of that
make on the street. William J. Halli-
day will install a Ford with a specially
built body, the Leo Niessen Co. will
have a Ford and Pierce & Co. will
shortly replace their machine with one
of larger capacity.

E. A. Vincent lectured on dahlias
before the Lancaster Florists' Club

Louis Strunz, has installed a new sec-
tional boiler and is rearranging his en-
tire heating system.

While returning from the market in

Vegetable Growers Meet.

The annual meeting of the Vegetable
Growers' Association of America, held
at the HoUenden hotel September 7
to 9, brought to town a number of
those who are florists as well as mar-
ket gardeners and the points of trade
interest around Cleveland had many
visitors last week. The members of the
association in a body visited the Kocky
Eiver gardening district.

The Gardening Contest.

The vacant lot and home gardening
contest arranged by a local newspaper
was concluded last w;eek and attracted
considerable attention from those in
the trade. The products from the gar-
dens entered in competition for prizes
were exhibited in the new municipal
bath house, under most favorable condi-
tions. Competition was exceedingly
close, as was evinced by the fact that
the much coveted silvet cup offered by
A. C. Kendel, the seedsman, was being
awarded to a daughter of Eve when,
upon closer view, a flaw was discov-
ered, "right in the core of the apple,"
to use Adam Graham's expression, and
the award was made to a son of For-
tunas. The mouth of the epicure fairly
watered at the tempting fruits and
vegetables and it was not surprising
that right in the middle of the judging,
at the suggestion of Herman Hart, the
judges took lunch. W. M.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Business has improved since the, last
writing, but the increase is mostly in
funeral work, which has been heavy.
Stock is more plentiful.

Carnations are being received, and
although the stems are rather short,
the quality of the flowers is good.
There is a large supply of them. Gla-
dioli still are to be had in any quan-
tity, and large numbers of them are
disposed of daily. Mums are begin-
ning to come. There are good yellow
and white varieties to be seen, and it
will not be long before we shall have
them in large quantities. Lilies are
scarce, but a good supply is expected
in the near future. Valley is a trifle
shy at present. Asters are not plenti-
ful, but the carnations are taking their
place. There is a demand for- bloom-
ing plants, but little of that kind is
to be had now.

Various Notes.

The awards of the flower show of
the Ohio state fair were split among
four commercial growers of Ohio. The
Livingston Seed Co., of Columbus,
heads the list with thirteen first awards
and eleven second awards. The In-
dianola. Florist, also of Columbus, was
a close second with twelve firsts, eleven
seconds and one third award. The ex-

hibits of Gray & Son, Salem, O., were
given one first award, three second
awards and one third award. Har-
desty & Co., of Cincinnati, won one
first prize and one fourth prize. Joseph
Coleman, of Lexington, O., could not
enter his exhibits of cut flowers for
the reason that he had not been noti-
fied of the change in the date of the
cut flower exhibit. Although Mr. Cole-
man's flowers arrived a day late, the
showing was passed upon by the judges,
who considered his dahlias and gla-
dioli superior to all others of the show.
Mr. Coleman was given additional first
prizes in- both classes.

Sherman Stephens is much improved
in health, and it is hoped that he will
be able to leave the hospital before
long. J. M.

NEWABK, N. J.

The Market.

Florists are beginning to report
slightly increased business. As most of
the flower buyers have returned from
their vacations and as the fall season
is near, there should be a noticeable
improvement in business within a short
time. Collections are still slow, but
there has been some improvement along
this line within the last week or two.

The new stock of the growers is de-
veloping splendidly. A few are begin-
ning to cut Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums, but not in sufficient quantity
to send to market. The mum plants
in practically all the greenhouses are
of fine quality, and the same may be
said of carnations. One grower has al-
ready begun to cut carnations in small
lots, but the others will pot have any
to send to market foi;, several ;^fiek|8,
Hardly any of the new crop are seen
in the retail stores. Asters and gladi-
oli still remain the staples, though the
quality of the latter is beginning to de-
teriorate. The asters, however, are of
good quality. Dahlias continue to
come in, and within a week or two it
is expected that they will be over-
abundant.

Various Notes.

William Weismantel has repaired and
repainted his greenhouse in preparation
for the work of the coming season. He
has had several funeral orders.

McLaughlin & Murphy report that
they have had a great deal of funeral
work and a few wedding decorations
during the summer months. Their store
is being renovated.

May's Flower Shop, 265 South
Orange avenue, has done fairly well
during the summer months. Good busi-
ness is expected when the fall season
opens.

Kimmerle & Minder anticipate a
large fall business. The new green-
house which this firm is erecting will
connect the store with the other green-
houses.

The J. J. Wilson Seed Co. has a fine
exhibit of dahlia blooms in one of its
windows. The display contains some
of the best dahlia blooms ever seen in
Newark.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society will hold its annual
flower show in James assembly hall,
October 28 and 29. There will be

SAGINAW, MICH.

The Market.

Business last week was not of the
rushing kind. Roses are more plenti-
ful and the welcome carnations have
made their appearance. The almost
continuous rains for the last two weeks
have ruined the most hardy outdoor
flowers, to say nothing of the asters,
which are done for. -Chrysanthemums
are not quite ready yet, although there
are some expected next week. Ru-
brum and album lilies are abundant.

Various Notes.

A call on John Zimmerman, at Mt.
Pleasant, Mich., was made by Carl L.
Roethke, Fred Goetz, Michael Zorn
and Henry Goetz, of Saginaw, and J.
A. Bittner, of Alma. They were met
at the station with a car and taken
to the greenhouses, where the stock is
in fine shape. Two houses are in car-
nations, one in roses, one in chrysan-
themums and two in smilax, asparagus
and pot plants. Mr. Zimmerman re-
ports business as good. The visit to
Mt. Pleasant was supposed to be for
the monthly meeting of the Saginaw-
Bay City Floricultural Society, but
neither President Rudolph G. Boeh-
ringer nor Vice-President F. H. Ste-
vens appeared on the scene, so no meet-
ing was held.

The Wm. Roethke Floral Co. has all
its ironwork up on the new houses,
which are to be planted to carnations.

Grohman recently was favored with
a large wedding decoration at Gray-
ling, which required a quantity of
palms and ferns to decorate both house
and church, also the flowers for house
and bridal party.

Charles Frueh & Sons have all their
houses, which they moved from Hoyt
avenue to the Genesee avenue range,
planted to winter-blooming stock.

J. B. Goetz Sons are cutting some
fine Mock roses, which are good sellers
with them. New carnations are being
cut in small quantities of good quality.

Boehringer Bros., at Bay City, have
three Moninger steel-frame houses 22x
150 feet, of which two are planted to
carnations and one to cool plants and
forcing stock.

D. Shepherd, Bay City, has retired
from the florists' business.

The recent visitors were: L. Hol-
land, of M. Rice Co., Philadelphia;
S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
Philadelphia; A. W. Herre, represent-
ing the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago;
Harry Balsley, Detroit. Gee.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

The Market.

Though the weather has been excep-
tionally warm for September, the out-
door flowers have held up well. There
has been a glut of asters and gladioli.
However, with the help of Flower day,
September 12, asters were cleaned up
well; the pink ones even became scarce.

Various Notes.

The engagement is announced of
Fred Reynolds and Mrs. Mabelle T.
Edson, of Chester, Vt. The wedding
is to take place September 22.

Post & Gray report an excellent trade

at their downtown counter. Their new
Woods Mobilette delivery is attract-
ing a great deal of attention and is
of great assistance in making prompt
deliveries. Edward Enos, in the em-
ploy of this firm, is spending two
weeks' vacation in and about Provi-
dence.

Some of the best asters to be had
in the city are grown by William
Brown, at Cedar street.

S. E. Shaw has planted a large house
to carnations. He is cutting some fine
asters and gladioli.

Joseph V. Pierce is cutting some
excellent roses from his new plants.

WOBCESTEB, MASS.

The Market.

Retail sales are increasing in vol-
ume, after two dull business months,
July and August. The home flower
gardens are about exhausted, for the
public is coming to the florists again.
There have been many weddings of
late, which have given work to some
of the shops. Asters and dahlias have
been of good quality, and most of the
outdoor flowers are fine. Cold storage
lilies have been fair.

Various Notes.

H. F. A. Lange has four orders for
large wedding decorations this month.
At the New England fair he received
first prize for a "group of potted plants
and in the floral parade Mr. Lange 's
car won second prize. The car was
decorated with red poppies, lilies and
hydrangeas. Mr. Lange has received
two bulb shipments from France and
one from Japan.

The windows of Henry Randall have
been made highly attractive by well
planned displays. Mr. Randall had a
car in the New England floral parade,
decorated with gladioli, for which he
was awarded a prize. H. L.

PEOVIDENOE, R. I.

The Market.

The appearance of a few early chry-
santhemums indicates the approach of
the season of activity, but as yet there
is no stimulation of business. Reports
from all the trade indicate that they
will be ready for the rush whenever
it sets in. Gladioli are (practically
gone. Asters are on the wane, field-
grown blooms being extremely poor.
Prices still sag and it will be a fort-
night to four weeks before there will
be any material improvement.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Last week the weather was decidedly
hot, which caused a noticeable business
slump. The supply of stock on the mar-
ket is far in excess of actual needs.
This is particularly true of roses. As-
ters are in heavy supply and as yet have
shown few signs of a reduction in quan-
tity. Gladioli are in good supply.
Easter lilies are plentiful and rubrum
can be had in any quantity. Dahlias
and cosmos are arriving in large
batches. Carnations are better than
they have been.

Club Meeting.

The Cincinnati Florists' Society held
its regular meeting at Hotel Gibson,
September 13. President Max Rudolph
was in the chair. J. A. Peterson gave
an interesting talk on the S. A. F. con-
vention at San Francisco and the
Panama-Pacific fair. He was enthusi-
astic over both, and regretted that
Cincinnati was not better represented
at the convention. John Van Leeuwen,
who was elected a member of the so-
ciety at this meeting, made an address
on cooperation of the florists in
buying.

SHORT COURSES AT CORNELL.

For Commercial Florists.

In the short term at Cornell Univer-
sity, Ithaca, N. Y., November 9, 1915,
to February 12, 1916, the following
courses are planned especially for per-
sons who intend to engage in commer-
cial floriculture. Course 2 is equally
well suited for those interested in vege-
table forcing under glass. In addition
to these lectures, frequent talks by
men engaged in practical 'work in
flower growing have been arranged.
An extended observation trip will be
taken during the course, when all can-
didates for a certificate of proficiency
will be required to visit the violet
growing sections near Poughkeepsie,
the wholesale and retail markets of
New York city and the large growing
establishments in that vicinity. The
courses are:

Required Subjects.

Commercial Floriculture and Green-
house Practice. Seven hours a week.
Professor White and Mr. Thayer. A
study of the methods of growing stand-
ard florists' crops, such as roses, carna-
tions, violets, sweet peas, orchids and
bedding plants. So far as possible,
laboratory practice in growing these
crops will be given. The course is de-
signed to familiarize the student with
the ordinary work of the greenhouse
and the garden. Laboratory fee, $3.

Commercial Greenhouse and Con-
servatory Construction and Heating.
Three hours a week. Mr. Thayer.
This course considers details of the'
construction and heating of glass
houses for growing plants and vege-
tables; choice of location; water, soil
and light; glazing, and all the condi-
tions found in well appointed modern
ranges. The construction and care of
hotbeds and coldframes are also stud-
ied. Laboratory work consists of
drawings of construction details, the
making of plans and specifications,
preparation of estimates and any prac-
tical work in construction that may
be available. Laboratory fee, $1..50.

Other required subjects are Fertility
of the Land, Soils and Plant Breeding,
Plant Diseases, Injurious Insects. Ex-
tension Work and Rural Improvement
are elective subjects.

Further information regarding any
of the courses mentioned may be ob-
tained from Professor E. A. White,
head of the department of floriculture,
Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.

Elyria, O. — James McLaughlin, for-

VEGETABLE GROWERS MEET.

Officers Elected.

At the annual meeting of the Vege-
table Growers' Association of America
M. L. Euetenik, of Cleveland, was re-
elected as president, S. W. Severance,
of Louisville, was reelected secretary
and E. A. Dunbar, of Ashtabula, O., as
treasurer.

H. W. Selby, of Philadelphia, was
elected vice-president, succeeding Dan-
iel R. Comley.

Eighth Annual Meeting.

The Vegetable Growers' Association
of America was organized at Cleveland
eight years ago and has held many suc-
cessful meetings, but, all things con-
sidered, the one of 1915, held Septem-
ber 7 to 9 at the Hollenden hotel, Cleve-
land, was the best of the lot. If the
attendance did not break records it
was at least large and the exhibition
was the best thus far; instead of con-
sisting almost wholly of samples of
articles for sale to vegetable growers,
the display this year consisted largely
of the prize-winning products of the
members.

The program, which began with an
address by Welfare Director Cooley,
representing the mayor of Cleveland,
and closed with a banquet at which W.
G. Rose, president of the Cleveland
Advertising Club, acted as toastmaster,
was arranged to allow as much time
as possible for the inspection of local
greenhouses and gardens. A visit was
paid to the Cleveland market at 5 a. m.
September 9.

The most important matters before
the association were the inconsistencies
between state statutes deflning legal
weights and measures and the report of
the committee on cooperative buying
and selling. Resolutions were adopted
urging uniformity in legal weights per
bushel. The committee on cooperative
buying was continued, with power to
act.

Round table discussions on a number
of trade topics were scheduled instead
of formal essays. As to seed supplv,
Francis P. Stokes and F. W. Therkild-
son, of Philadelphia, were appealed to
for assurances that shortages will not
be acute.

CUCUMBERS UNDER GLASS.

I am building a small greenhouse in
which to grow cucumbers next winter,
and I am taking the liberty of asking
your advice on the subject. Please tell
me how to mix the soil, when to plant
and where to get good seed.

W. J. S.— Cal.

Cucumbers require a warm, moist tem-
perature for successful culture. A
minimum of 60 to 65 degrees is neces-
sary in winter. Cold drafts must be
guarded against, or mildew will ap-
pear, while in too dry an atmosphere
red spider will soon appear. They can
be grown in either raised benches or
solid beds. The majority of growers
prefer the latter. The soil must be rich
and should consist of three parts well

decayed sod and one part decayed cow
manure. If decayed sod and cow ma-
nure are not procurable, use good pas-
ture loam of not too heavy a texture,
with some sod in it, if possible, and
well rotted horse manure.

The seeds can be started in small
pots, one in a 3-inch pot. Later the
seedlings can be planted out two to
four inches apart in the rows. A trellis
of wire and stout twine is necessary to
train them on. Fruit can be picked in
six to eight weeks from planting, ac-
cording to the season. In fall and
early winter it is more difficult to grow
and fruit plants successfully than in
late winter and spring. Artificial pol-
lination of the flowers is necessary in
winter. Many of the large cucumber
specialists now use hives of bees, which
fertilize the flowers. In order to pre-
vent bacterial diseases, many growers
now sterilize their soil each year before
planting.

A first-class strain of Arlington
White Spine cucumber is the most sat-
isfactory for forcing purposes. Buy
seed from one of the various seed grow-
ers and dealers advertising in The Re-
view. The long English cucumbers of
the Telegraph type are popular with
many people, and if you chance to
have any fancy customers they might
prefer some of this type. White Spine
and Telegraph succeed under the same
treatment. C. W.

USINGER'S UTTERANCES.

C. Gunton, formerly of Oliver's
Greenhouses, has purchased the Red
Rock Eosery, at Bradford, Pa., E. B.
Sage having retired from the florists'
business.

Seth Ropper has taken over Oliver's
Greenhouses, at Bradford, Pa. He was
foreman of the Red Rock Rosery for
eight years.

G. Lawrence Graham, of Bradford,
reports a good business in cut flowers
for this time of the year.

Dana R. Herron, of Olean, N. Y., is
cutting some exceptionally fine asters.

Elmer Rawlings, of Allegany, N. Y.,
who grows geraniums for the wholesale
trade, believes that his present busi-
ness indicates that the florists are
again to enjoy a successful year.

M. M. Dye, of Salamanca, N. Y.,
is adding a house to his range, which
he expects to have finished this month.

F. N. Kidder, of N. A. Kidder &
Son, North Warren, Pa., is the proud
father of a baby boy.

A. H. Sharman, of Warren, Pa., is
using street car advertising to good
advantage. He finds the illustrated
advertisements are a big factor in his
rapidly increasing business.

The Baur Floral Co., of Erie, Pa.,
is making elaborate window displays of
gladioli, which produce a ready sale
for these beautiful flowers.

Chas. G. Offerle, of Erie, reports a
large quantity of funeral work, with
good counter trade, to help business
along.

Trost & Steinfurth, of Erie, are busy
repairing their greenhouses and mak-
ing improvements.

The float which won first prize for
Pittsburgh lodge No. 11 at the Elks'
state convention, at Erie, during the
week of August 23, was decorated by
Miles R. Miller, of Erie. In it he used
10,000 purple and white asters. Three
dozen doves were tied with ribbons to
a teeter twelve feet long, which gave
the effect of flying doves. W. T. U.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

There was a notable increase last
spring in the call for salvias and bed-
ding plant specialists will prepare much
larger supplies for 1916.

This is fair time and more florists
than ever before are taking advantage of
the opportunity to show their wares to
a lot of people who should be buyers.

The latest thing with the glasshouse
owners in England is insurance against
Zeppelin bombs. Their government writes
the policy, the same as other war risk in-
surance.

The man who works up a large stock
of good geranium plants this fall and
has them in flower early next spring
stands little chance of being stuck; the
surplus always is of plants that were
not ready in time.

The eastern members who attended
the S. A. F. convention have nearly all
returned home, having devoted from three
weeks to a month to the trip, and are
enthusiastic about it. Another conven-
tion on the Pacific Coast probably would
draw well, even with no expositions as
a special attraction.

The renaissance of summer has been
general, during the preceding week, prac-
tically all over the United States. In
many places the highest temperatures of
the year to date have been registered
since September 9. It was inevitable that
cut flower production should be acceler-
ated and demand reduced.

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:

VIREE YEARS.
Mau, Otto F.,4vheaton, 111.

TWO YEARS.
Bpyle, John J., Houston, Tex.
• Kdwards Floral Hall Co., Atlantic City, N. J.
Gfeselschap, A. F., Orange City, la.
Curwen, John, Berwyn, Pa.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

BUSINESS GAINING.

The weekly review published by R.
G. Dun & Co. says:

"Business as a whole reveals more
seasonable character and developments
sustain rapid recovery in prominent
branches. Payments through the banks
exhibit a favorable comparison and the
record of trading defaults is lowest for
the year. The evidences of improve-
ment are strengthened by increasing
reemployment of factory labor, by new
high record outputs at the steel mills,
by wider demand for crude and semi-
finished supplies, and by the magnif-
icent crop conditions shown by this
week's government report.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER. *

Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, September 15, 1915:
1^^^ For the Region of the Great

1^^^^ Lakes — Local thunder showers
V^^^" will be followed by fair and
j^^ cooler weather beginning Sep-
tember 16.
For the Upper Mississippi Valley
and Plains States — The week will be
one of generally fair and cool weather,
with some probability of frosts the
first half of the week in the middle
and northern plains ' states and the ex-
treme upper Mississippi valley.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee
— Fair and warm weather will be fol-
lowed by showers by September 16 and
by generally fair and cool weather
thereafter until the close of the week.
For the West Gulf States — Showers
in the east portion at the beginning of
the week will be followed by generally
fair weather. In this district tempera-
tures will average near or slightly be-
low normal.

TO OBTAIN GERMAN GOODS.

The State department at Washington
is preparing to take active steps to ob-
tain for American firms tgoods of Ger-
man origin contracted for prior to
March 1 with legal liability of pay-
ment. This is in consequence of a
telegram received from Ambassador
Page, at London, saying that it is now
understOoSf that the British government
agrees to receive applications presented
by the foreign trade advisers, acting
informally on behalf of importers,
through the British embassy at Wash-

ifRt^P-

The State department has explained
for the benefit of firms who wish to se-
cure such German goods the necessary
formalities to be undertaken. Evidence
must be submitted to the oflSce of the
foreign trade advisers, at the Depart-
ment of State, Washington, that goods
were ordered by an American firm or
for its account before March 1, by a
contract under the terms of which the
purchaser was legally bound to pay for
the goods. This should be accompanied
by: _ 1

1. An affidavit giving the history and
a clear statement of the circumstances
of the case and substantiating the
documentary evidence submitted.

2. Either the original contract or^
certified copy showing the conditit"^
stated above.

3. Copies of order sheets, original ac-
ceptances, pro forma invoices, and con-
sular invoices, if available. There
should also be indicated the marks,
numbers, value, class of goods, and
name and address of your shipping
agent in Rotterdam, or other neutral
European port.

This evidence will be submitted un-
officially by the foreign trade advisers
to the British embassy as soon as d«<-
tails of the arrangement are perfected"

SECURED FINE TRADE.

It is a Pennsylvania!^ who makes
this report, and it is of interest to
advertisers and prospective advertisers
to note that The Review has more sub-
scribers in New York and Pennsylvania
than in any other states — more even
than in Illinois:

Drop the snapdragon ad; all sold by the ad in
The Review. Continue the other. Have secured
some fine trade through advertising in The Re-
view.— Fairvlew Greenhousaa, Milton, Pa., Sep-
tember 11, 1915. . , ;. n j. . ,^. -r- j!

The steady increase in the'"iiumbftF
of fiorists who rely on the Classified
ads to sell such stock as they do not
need for their retail trade is the
best evidence of the effectiveness of
these inexpensive ads.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Just when everyone was ready for
the fall season to begin, it became
necessary to put away the light over-
coats, and the Palm Beach suits were
again called into requisition. With
September 12 the hottest day of the
year, and the two days succeeding it
close seconds, the market regeneration
in process received a most decided
che^, and summer quiet prevailed.
The anomalous change in the weather,
however, was fraught with some inter-
esting results.

Th0^ unusual heat, as a matter of
course, brought an increased supply of
roses to the market. The quality,
though, has been affected, and many
thousands of flowers are open when
they reach the market. Russell in par-
ticular seems to be the chief sufferer,
with the possible exception of Rich-
mond. In spite of this, Russell is clear-
ing better than anything else in the
shape of a rose. Killarney, also, is
moving better than would seem possi-
ble under the circumstances. The de-
velopment of rose stock generally has
been retarded by the cloudy weather
of the last few weeks, and the sudden
advent of extreme heat has quite natu-
rally resulted in the popping open
prematurely of large quantites of buds.
Beauties, though affected by condi-
tions, are moving fairly well.

The supply of carnations from under
glass continues to increase daily and
the quality is remarkably good consid-
ering the hot weather. In most cases
the wholesalers find little occasion to
place them in the iceboxes, as the buy-
ers are generally anxious to pick them
up. Asters continue plentiful, but lit-
tle can be said of their quality, as the
market is flooded with rain-soaked
stock. First-class stock, however, can
still be disposed of at a fair price.

The supply of chrysanthemums has
been greatly augmented by the heat.
The quality, however, is far from what
it should be. There are too many
spots and brown petals in evidence.
The larger part of the receipts is made
up of Golden Glow. White mums,
though available, are not plentiful.
Dahlias are few, but the demand is
even weaker than the supply. While
quite popular in the east, the dahlia
has never been able to force itself into
public favor in this market. Perhaps
that may be attributed to the fact that
it has the reputation of being a poor
keeper. Gladioli may be found if they
are wanted.

Valley continues scarce, though not
so short as it was a week ago, it
is still difficult for one wholesaler to
buy it of another. Cattleyas, too, are
on the short side of the market and
enjoy a fair demand. Easter lilies,
auratums and rubrums are in good sup-
ply and of excellent quality. They can
be moved, but the price must be low.

Greens have experienced a complete
regeneration. They are clearing bet-
ter than for many weeks. Ferns have
been scarce for a day or two.

Club Meeting.

Though no regular program was
scheduled for the meeting of the Chi-
cago Florists' Club, September 9, unex-
pected events afforded, not only enter-
tainment and diversion, but informa-
tion as well. The rooms usually sub-
ject to the uses of the club were un-
dergoing redecorating, which resulted
in an adjournment to the well known
Berlin room. Eight here the entertain-
ment and distraction began. Owing
to the rumble of the drums and the
blare of the horns, it was with diffi-
culty that President Keimel could get

everyone present to be facetious almost
to the point of jocularity, but at any
rate things moved so smoothly that
financial reports, committee reports and

The picnic committee delivered it-

siring space to act before the eleventh
hour. A communication from Charles
Loveridge, Peoria, 111., was read by the
secretary, thanking the club for the
distinction conferred upon him by elect-
ing him an honorary member.

The club membership was increased
by the election thereto of: Paul Weiss,
May wood, 111.; Emil Ehrhardt and
Gustave Stege, both of Park Eidge,
111.; J. A. Young, Mooseheart, 111., and
Prank Schramm, Crystal Lake, 111.

Guy W. French, secretary, urged on
those present the necessity of having
the amalgamation banquet before the
Grand Floral Festival, next November.
After some discussion, October 7 was
agreed upon as the most appropriate
time. Mr. French, still irrepressible
and insistent, revealed the fact that he
is a man of motives by suggesting
that a pass be issued to all members
of the club in good standing. This,

he hinted, would assist him materially
in rounding up delinquents and filling
the coffers of the club. His question-
ings were lulled to rest by the assur-
ance of Nicholas Miller, secretary of
the show committee, that all members
in good standing should receive a sea-
son ticket.

The club's guest of honor, William
Tricker, Arlington, N. J., of water lily
fame, talked interestingly of his labors
for twenty-five years to evolve a water
lily that will bloom in the winter. He
referred in brief to his blue water

lily of last winter. At last he has
succeeded in producing everblooming
lilies. These, if properly handled, will
bloom every day. This variety has
been named in honor of the President's
late wife, Mrs, Woodrow Wilson. It is
a free bloomer, carrying ten to twelve
flowers in bud on one plant. In color
it is a light lavender. Panama-Pacific,
a plum-purple variety, will be intro-
duced next winter.

President Keimel took occasion to
discourse enthusiastically on the won-
ders of the California expositions and
the Pacific coast country. He sp6ke,
among other things, of the methods
used by the Japanese and Chinese in
growing asters and chrysanthemums,
and of the curious wall of mesembryan-
themum at the exposition. His talk
was highly entertaining and much en-
joyed.

C. W. Johnson, of Morgan Park,
president of the Illinois State Florists'
Association, made a few remarks on the
success of the last meeting of the ex-
ecutive board, at Peoria, August 31,
and urged on Chicago florists a realiza-
tion that the state organization is as
much to them as the local club, and
that it is working diligently in their
behalf.

Vaughan 's Greenhouses, Western
Springs, staged two vases of dahlias,
white, pink and scarlet, and a vase
of summer lilac or butterfly bush, that
attracted much attention.

Dr. Bred in Trouble.

Florists who have dealt with Dr.
John Brod will be interested in the
following, taken from the Chicago
Tribune for September 12:

" 'Dr.' John Brod, necromancer and
florist, who has been prosecuted by the
state board of health several times for
'quackery,' has been missing since Au-
gust 3, and his creditors are beginning
to worry about their claims.

"While his son and daughters and
some of the people residing in the vi-
cinity of his home at 5143 Warwick
avenue are inclined to believe he met
with accident or robbers, others think
he was driven to cover by his financial
afl'airs and the divorce suit of his

"Bang," the old man's fist came
down on the buyer's desk.

The buyer, who was just pushing
the buzzer to call a telegraph mes-
senger, looked up in alarm.

"I tell you, boy, this is all fool-
ishness. It costs money to wire and
phone orders in. Keep stocked up."

The buyer started to argue:
"There has been an unexpected run
on Wire Designs and" —

"Unexpected poppycock and fid-
dlesticks! You know we are going to
need Wire Designs, Chiffons, Ferns,
Galax, Magnolia Leaves and Box-
wood all this winter. Why do you
wait until you have to send a tele-
gram!"

"Well, as a rule'' — the buyer was
interrupted again.

"As a rule — rot! I tell you, buy
ahead. We have space enough to
store a few months' supply of Wire
Work, Chiffons and Magnolia Leaves.
Send the order to Kennicott Bros.
Co., now."

"Yes, sir," said the buyer. But
buyers often put things off.

"And have them make a ship-
ment of so many thousand Ferns
each week, and send Boxwood and

Galax at certain intervals. Cut out
some of these telegraph charges —
and get the rock bottom price at
the same time. I would not ask
you to buy up a large supply of
anything that would spoil or go out
of style. But if you order your
stock from The House of Quality
Plus, there will be no spoilage, as
the quality will be the best. The
contract prices that Kennicott 's
quote you on supplies are really re-
markable. I don't mean that they
are cheap, but wonderfully low, con-
sidering the quality of stuff they
furnish," the old man stated with
firmness. ' * Just let then? quote prices,
young fellow," he called back as he
left the oflice; "if the Kennicott
prices do not compare favorably
with- other Houses then— but they
do."

The old man came back and
stood by the buyer's desk and
waited till a request for special
prices on Wire Work, Chiffons, Ferns,
Galax, Magnolia Leaves and Box-
wood was carefully written and ad-
dressed to Kennicott Bros. Co., 163

in the loop, refused to comment on his
absence. The house has been taken
possession of by Attorney August G.
Urbanski on the strength of a quit-
claim deed made to Mrs. Antonnia

"Mrs Mary E. V. Cunningham had
been receiving treatment at Brod's

at 1758 North avenue. She fell down-
stairs and incurred injuries for which
the court awarded her $1,000. Brod

"Then Brod gave Mrs. Pufundt a

Brod sued for divorce. Henry F.
Brinkman, a grocer, who says Brod ran
up a bill of $60 before his disappear-
ance, offered Attorney Urbanski $5,000

could be passed, but ^s there is al-

Dr. Brod for years has made the flo-
rists' business his hobby. At one time
he had a range of greenhouses at
Niles Center. More recently his flo-
rists* establishment was at 5143 War-
wick avenue, conducted as the Gray-
land Nurseries & Floral Co. Dr. Brod
has claimed to be Chicago's original
osteopath.

Various Notes.

In a season that many growers have
had bad luck with their asters, George
J. Ball, of Glen Ellyn, has attracted at-
tention by- having rather better suc-
cess than usual. He grows a selection
of the late branching type on which he

has been at work for several years and
Kyle & Foerster say it has regularly
brought top market prices. Mr. Ball
contemplates naming the selection and
putting the seed on the market. He
has only one color, white, but it has
given him splendid, large, full-centered
flowers both in the field and under
glass. It blooms one to two weeks in
advance of the so-called late varieties.

After several years in charge of the
North Clark street store of the George
Wittbold Co., Victor Young has re-
signed and gone east on a vacation trip.
It is reported that on his return he will
join the staff of Fred Eonsley, on
Dearborn street.

Among the summer's additions to
A. F. Keenan's equipment was an

Overland delivery car, with attractive
special body. He finds he drives it
forty to fifty miles a day and his only
expenditure so far has been about a
penny a mile, for gasoline. He has
been surprised to find how quickly the
car has become indispensable. The
new store at 1220 East Sixty-third
street is attracting enough new trade
to make the present volume of busi-
ness the best the Keenan stores evei
have had.

A new Moline-Knight touring car
has been ordered by Ernst Amling, the
Maywood grower.

After a week's trip east, primarily
to look over the violet houses along
the Hudson and incidentally to size up
the business situation, John Michelsen,

never looked better to him than it
does right now.

The state fair flower show opens at
Springfield September 21 and A, T.
Pyfer says Pyfer & Olsem will be
among the exhibitors, for the benefit
of their retail trade at Wilmette.

That business would promptly become
satisfactory if the weather would be-
come normal is the belief of E.
Wienhoeber, who says demand is er-
ratic, but on the whole exceeds what
was done last year. The Wienhoeber
store is well known to cater to the
best class of flower buyers in the city.

A recent issue of the Staats-Zeitung,
the leading German newspaper of the
middle west, published a 3-column ap-
preciation of Peter Reinberg, illus-
trated with Mr. Reinberg 's portrait
and a view of his greenhouse establish-
ment reproduced from The Review.

Those who do not have greenhouses
may form some idea of what the grow-
ers have been up against this rainy
summer by the remark by the foreman
for Wietor Bros., who said the heat
wave of September 12 afforded the first
chance he has had in weeks to get his
houses dried out and under moisture
control.

Ed. Drehmann has returned to work
after spending two months in Michigan.
His employer, Charles Grabig, 1843 Irv-
ing Park boulevard, has gone west for a
few days' vacation.

South Haven, Mich., looked inviting
to Thomas Sullivan, 871 East Sixty-
third street, so he dropped his work
when the hot weather came and went
across the lake.

A. Miller, of Henderson & Co., spent
last week at the flower show in connec-
tion with the Minnesota state fair.

Back to the greenhouses and hard
study is the schedule of W. J. O 'Car-
roll, botanical florist at the University
of Chicago, who has returned from his
trip to the California expositions.

With his two weeks' vacation in
the past, Richard Ralston, head de-
signer for the Fleischman Floral Co.,
has settled down to hard work.

The Season

w

ITH the coming of fall, there is a decided tendency
on the part of florists to brighten up the store.
This is in anticipation of the prospective good business during the winter
months. Now is the season to have this work done. Begin with most
important of all your fixtures — the refrigerator — and get one that suits
your particular needs. We are specialists in florists' refrigeration and can
meet all your requirements. If you are located anywhere in the United
States or Canada you can well afford a BUCHBINDER REFRIGERATOR.
We make them better.

right at the start of
the season some of
the new kinds of

roses, and watch how quick they will come back for more. They want to see different roses — different
colorings, and if you are the first to show them, you get the business. People have seen Killarneys
for years and are tired of them. Killarney is a splendid rose, and will always be used extensively for
making up, etc., but as a gift rose the newer kinds are more attractive.

Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Russell, Shawyer, Sunbui-st, etc., we are now cutting in large quantity, and
selling at very moderate prices — 3 cents to 6 cents for these new kinds. Or we are making up the
assorted boxes which were so successful with us last year at $5.00 and $10.00 A liberal count, well

each accompanied by his family, they
encountered a series of canals where
they had a right to expect roads.
Nothing daunted, they held a clear
course, steering by the stars, according
to August, who was in the lead. After
several hours of clear sailing, Adolph
sent out distress signals. He had
struck a bar. August went to the re-
lief and finally succeeded in towing
him off. When at last they made the
harbor of Morton Grove, mud bespat-
tered, tired and hungry, it was early
in the morning of September 11.

After enjoying a week's rest, Max

"On the old Sante Fe trail," was

the word from O. P. Bassett to C. L.
Washburn, of Bassett & Washburn,
September 12. Mr. Bassett and his
wife left Albuquerque, N. M., in their
automobile early in the morning of
that date.

A killing frost nipped the tomato
plants and potato vines in the vicinity
of Tomahawk Lake, Wis., the night of
September 1, according to AUie Zech,
manager of the Zech & Mann whole-
sale house, who returned from his va-
cation there a few days ago. The
firm's quarters in the Atlas building
are being redecorated.

To safeguard against any future loss
from mildew, George Reinbergf has
piped his plant throughout with a
series of small pipes. On cool days,
these are to be utilized to carry a

small head of steam — just enough to
ward off trouble.

With the return of summer, there is
little doubt in the mind of A. E. Hunt,
of Evanston, that he will have his new
greenhouse completed in ample time for
cold weather.

Though suffering with quite a severe
cold, A. L. Vaughan gets to the store
every day. He believes in fresh air
and plenty of action as a treatment for
physical ailments.

Chicago Flower Growers' Association

The Market.

Business has been fairly good dur-

three days it was booming on account
of an extra amount of funeral work.
Counter trade has been better, and
prospects all around are brighter. There
continues to be a large proportion of
outdoor stock on the market, which has
moved easily. Prices at this time are
quite low. The supply of American
Beauties is not large, but the daily
consignment of other varieties is quite
large. The intense heat of the last two
weeks has considerably hurt roses.
6weet peas are scarce. Carnations are
coming slowly; there is no particular
demand. Asters are fine and plenti-
ful, and are sold at extremely low
prices. There are large quantities of
gladioli on the market. Tuberoses are
arriving, but not in large quantities.

PITTSBUBOH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has exr.erienced the hot-
test spell of the summer, which had
its effect on both business and stock.
The wholesale houses are receiving
great quantites of stock in an exceed-
ingly poor state, especially asters.
Gladioli are of good quality and show
no signs of a reduction in quantity.
There was a scarcity of valley and
white roses the first part of last week,
but the flowers are now coming in suf-
flcient quantities to supply the demand.

The short carnations received are too
poor to sell easily. Beauties and other
roses are fine. Excellent Oncidium
splendidum is to be had.

The retail stores showed some busi-
ness activity last week, possibly a
slight increase in sales over the week
previous, but none of them were
rushed.

The growers have their roses and car-
nations ready for fall and winter. It
has been noticed that the railroads and
mills are stocking up with coal in larger
quantities than usual. This is a hint
for greenhouse men to do likewise, as
a coal shortage is a possibility.

The aster growers might take a hint
from a discussion I heard the other
day. Some of the retailers were saying
that their customers demand something

better than the flowers they have in
their own gardens, and that growers
could make larger profits if they would
grow better stock and bunch and pack
the asters with eaough care to reach
the market in a good condition. Of
course this would necessitate throwing
away the majority of the flowers
shipped to the commission man. If the
growers would adopt this method, there
would be no inferior stock packed in
peach baskets or jammed into boxes to
save express charges. Asters suffer
greatly when improperly packed, as
can be seen daily.

It seems that Sunday closing in
Pittsburgh has not won favor, for all
the houses are open Sunday morning.
A good deal of stock is shipped into
the city on Sundays, and in justice to
the growers it seems necessary to re-
ceive and care for the stock.

Various Notes.

Fred Burki and P. S. Randolph went
to Philadelphia last week to attend
the H. F. Michell Co. field day.

Visitors last week were M. Coulter
Kent, of Newark, O.; John Walker, of
Youngstown, O.; J. Goudy, represent-
ing Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadel-
phia; I. Eosnosky, of the H. F. Michell
Co., Philadelphia, and Julius Dilloff,
representing Schloss Bros., of New
York.

The Pittsburgh Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club met September 8. The
gladiolus was the subject under dis-
cussion. An exhibit from Bidwell &
Fobes, of Kinsman, O., represented all
the popular sorts. P. S. Randolph, who
undertook to grow asters for the mar-
ket, says this is his last year. He
says that while you can buy seeds
cheap, you have to sell the flowers
cheaper and perhaps not sell them at
all. John Jones, of Schenley park, had
an exhibition of red helianthus, which
showed up well. The attendance was
good, considering the hot weather.

mers out of the city. As the city
schools opened last week, and as many
of the colleges and private institutions
open their doors either this week or
next, there probably will be no more
stagnation of business this year. All
the florists say that there has been a
decided improvement in business con-
ditions. The growers here have had
no trouble from excessive rains, as
have those in other parts of the coun-

They did not cut much of a figure in
the market, but will before long. The
oversupply of gladioli is past, and
while there still is plenty of good
stock, little of it is wasted. Eoses are
none too abundant. It was too cool
last month for the summer varieties
to produce heavy crops, and the win-
ter-blooming varieties are just coming
in. Carnations are more plentiful than
they have been, but there still is a
shortage. Home-grown asters are
about gone.

With the approach of fall, the public
parks and private gardens are present-
ing a better appearance than at any
other time this season. This has not
been a good season for summer bedding
plants, but they bid fair to give us
two months of good blooms, from now
until killing frost.

Various Notes.

I was surprised at the large number
of high-class blooms given by a bed
of 100 Sunburst roses, set from 3-inch
pots by the Hillcrest School Farm the
middle of May. Judging by this bed.

Oscar Geny appears to be well on

The water wheel and alligators in the

I saw a specimen of Dragon canna

PHILADELPHIA,

The Market.

Loyal descendants of William Penn
have grave doubts whether that astute
gentleman acted wisely in his selection
of a site for the City of Brotherly
Love, for a hotter place would have
been hard to find last week. Humor-
ists suggest turning off the heat and
you'll have to do so before business
commences, for nobody cares a far-
thing or a mark for business in this
weather.

However, you mildly urge, what good
are reporters who can't report t So here
goes:

There is about as much business as
a week ago, but ever, ever so many
more flowers, which makes too many,
for don 't you see, two evers make a
too and that is why some are wasted t
Asters are the worst sufferers. They
come in fairly good shape now, but
so far in excess of the demand that
even at ridiculously low prices they
do not all sell; it is unfortunate. There
are lots of poor roses and not enough
good ones. It is rather hard to have
good roses, because that plant loves a
temperate rather than a tropical cli-
mate. Valley and lilies have become
more plentiful. White orchids have
arrived with the cattleyas and onci-
diums. Tuberoses afford variety to
gladiolus lovers, while dahlias come in
such unbounded variety that no need
of change is felt by those who admire
this great fall flower. Perhaps great is
a misplaced word in the heat, so count
it out until cooler nights, and, let
us hope, days come, when the dahlia
will be queen. The loneliness of Chrys-

Out on the Coast.

Bernard Eschner describes entertain-
ingly his delightful trip to the coast,
the north and the west. The Canadian
Bockies were more beautiful than many
foreign mountains of note. Lake Louise,
Banflf Field and other famous spots were
fully enjoyed. Then came Seattle with
its promise of future greatness and
eleven days in Alaska, once known as
Seward's Folly, but now a source of
pride and profit to Uncle Sam. The
totem poles fascinated Mr. Eschner.
His skill on shipboard won a prize
totem pole in miniature. With this as
an introduction he studied, learned, ad-
mired and finally bought a totem pole,
with its classic symbolic carvings in
cedar that take days, months and years
to perfect. This totem pole, some fif-
teen feet in height, is planned to stag-
ger Mr. Eschner 's neighbors at Elkins
Park, Pa., where it will appear in due
time. Back to Seattle, then to Port-
land, then to the City of Roses, then
to Frisco.

At San Francisco a dreadful thing

happened, which I grieve to relate.
Albert O. Stein sent a basket of fruit
and flowers to Mrs. Eschner, which was
so beautiful that it shook Mr. Esch-
ner 's loyalty to his floral artist at home.
It was a blue-handled basket filled with
blue snapdragons, and a few American
Beauties to set it off. Under the snap-
dragons there was fruit, lots of it,
enough to last a week. There were
cantaloupe cut zigzag, strawberries in
one half, raspberries in the other, and,
to top all, two fine bunches of seed-
less green grapes on the handle. Did
you ever hear of such a thing! It
sounds awfully nice.

After San Francisco came cities of
note, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Catalina
island, with its glass-bottom boats and
the Hotel Del Monte with 125 acres
of well kept grounds, Santa Barbara,
the San Diego exposition, with a Mexi-
can bull fight by way of sporting va-
riety. Salt Lake City and the wonder-
ful, wonderful Yellowstone park, with
its never-to-be-forgotten sights.

The Michell Outing.

The report of the second annual out-
ing of the Henry F. Michell Co., given
to its horticultural friends, at Anda-
lusia, September 8, appeared in The
Eeview last week. The list of winners
in the sporting events follows:

Three-legffed race — P. W. Auman and George
Williams, first; W. Pearl and A. Watton, sec-
ond.

Pat men's race — W. Williamson, first; Clyde
Bolston, second.

Thin men's race — L. S. Pottelger, first; Nelson
Arti, second.

Wheelbarrow race — Edward Dornhelm, first;
L. S. Pottelger, second.

Potato race — Roy Lapler, first; D. Enborn,
second.

Ladies' race — Miss Leona Coolce, first; Miss
Jean Burton, second.

Broad Jump— J. B. Ward, first; George Dren-
nen, second.

Hop, skip and Jump — James Kenney, first;
James Casey, second.

Ple-eatlng contest— W. H. WhlttaJter, first;
J. Downing, second.

The starter of the events was F.
Cowperthwaite. A. Eadon,. L. W.
Jourdet and H. J. Lowell served as
judges. W. H. Neville was referee and
I. Rosnosky was official announcer.

Some Crotons and Some Ferns.

The word some has become so Amer-
icanized that it means a good deal
more than Noah Webster intended. For
instance, if a youth of today speaks of
his opponent in a fistic fight as ' * some
boy," you may know that that boy
was huge with bulging muscles, and
had an uncanny reach sure to give
trouble. The use of the word some
twice in this headline is in the vernacu-
lar, so that you will understand that
the crotons and ferns were extremely
fine.

Both are on view at the Robert Craig
Co. place. Crotons that for beauty of
coloring have never been equaled. It
may be the cool nights and the hot days
of last month, it may be culture, or

to the grandeur of good old Boston and
its descendants. Scottii and Teddy
Junior are the leaders, with John Wan-
amaker as the dark horse in the race.

Current Events.

A warm-hearted business man of this
city has proposed that a fund be raised
to provide a fitting tribute to the mem-
ory of Edwin Lonsdale. He says that
Mr. Lonsdale's work for floriculture
and for humanity merits recognition.
To such an ob.iect, this member of our
profession offers to contribute $50, aa
a small token of his regard for Mr.
Lonsdale. He suggests that should the
idea find favor with our florists, it
might take the form of a suitably in-
scribed shaft or tablet, to be erected
in Ivy Hill cemetery.

Various Notes.

tension to one of his large greenhouses

The Market.

The return of warm weather, bring-

of all kinds, had a depressing effect
upon the market last week. The stores
were dependent almost entirely upon
funeral work, which was not plentiful.

Orchids and gardenias continue
scarce, and are obtainable only at an
almost prohibitive price; the demand
for them is light. There was a further
slight shortening of the valley supply.
Increasing quantities of dahliaa are
offered, with but few buyers. The in-
tense heat affected these as well as
asters; a majority of the latter are not
up to standard. Early chrysanthe-
mums are meeting with little favor.

Roses are good for this time of year.
There is an occasional shortage of good
white roses, but plenty of colored ones
fire to be had. Shipments of carna-
tions are increasing, but the flowers
continue small and the stems short.

at the rear of the latter 's store, this
year proved a greater success than ever
before. It was attended by more than
200 people and the merriment con-
tinued until long after midnight.

It had been decided that there were
to be no speeches during the evening,
but several guests were called upon,
Adolph Gude and Richard Vincent, Jr.,
responding. Fred H. Kramer created
a sensation when he appeared as a
German schoolmaster. A band of
twenty-five pieces played, and several
entertainers performed. Shortly before
midnight the members of two theatrical
companies, about fifty, appearing at the

Casino and Gayety theaters, enlivened
the rest of the time by songs, by fancy
and clog dancing, and by acting parts
from the pieces in which they regularly
appear.

Among those present were President
George H. Cooke, Vice-president R. L.

Various Notes.

Mrs. J. A. Philipps, "the flower lady
of Fourteenth street," was declared
the winner of the Lyric theater "popu-
lar lady contest," which terminated
last week. Mrs. Philipps, with nearly
30,000 votes, ran 11,000 votes ahead of
her nearest competitor.

The members of the Washington-Bal-
timore party of florists, which has just
returned from the S. A. F. convention,
in relating the many delightful experi-
ences had in connection with the trip,
speak particularly of the time spent
in Kansas City, Mo., where they were
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William L.
Hock at a banquet at the Muehlbach
hotel, followed by a theater party, and
on an automobile tour of the city.

David J. Grillbortzer, of Alexandria,
Va., is cutting about 1,500 roses daily,
including fine Hadley, Ophelia, Killar-
ney Brilliant and White Killarney.

The Leo Niessen Co. is contemplating
the erection of a building in which to
conduct the business now carried on
at 1214 H street, northwest. Since tak-
ing over the business of the Washington
Florists' Exchange, the firm has grown
rapidly and is fast finding itself
cramped for space.

Henry Pfister, who has just returned
from Switzerland, is reported to have
commenced negotiations for a store in
the vicinity of Connecticut and Rhode
Island avenues, northwest.

Stanley Holland, formerly at 2406

New Nephrolepis Fern

JOHN WANAMAKER

In presentinir this fern to the trade, we feel
confident tbat It will make a place for itself.

A "sport" from Nephrolepis Scbolzell, with
longer, narrower, gracefully drooping fronds. It
is not BO compact in growth as Scbolzell, and
therefore does not decay in the center, and is a
durable house fern. It is a rapid grower, making

an abundance of fronds, and is quite distinct
from any other Nephrolepis.

Strong plants from 2V^-inch pots, $3.00 per
doz., $20.00 per 100, $150.00 per 1000.

The following ready for delivery October 1st:

Our belated summer reached us the
second week in September this year.
September 9, with a maximum of 91
degrees, was the hottest dav of the
summer. Only on one occasion previ-
ously had the temperature reached 90
degrees this year. As a result of the
intense heat, cut flower trade, which
had been showing a gradual improve-
ment, suffered another serious setback.
Boses were the worst sufferers and last
week proved one of the most discour-
aging of the year with them. Prices
sunk to an unquotable level, much stock
being removed in the rubbish barrels.
We are experiencing cooler weather
now and the outlook is more encourag-
ing. The heat sent in quite a lot of
miserable, sleepy looking, short-
stemmed carnations, which were hard
to move. They are not wanted while
a wealth of fine asters are to be had
at low prices. The aster market has
been on the down grade. A small num-
ber have made 75 cents to $1 per hun-
dred.

The gladiolus wave recedes and prices
are a little firmer. Lilies are in good
supply, both speciosum and longiflorum.
Valley is a little better in quality, but
sells slowly. Some lots of indoor snap-
dragon are seen, but there is little
call for them. There is a wide assort-
ment of outdoor flowers, for which
there is an uncertain demand. Gar-
denias are somewhat more plentiful;
so are cattleyas. The best cattleyas
can be bought for $6 per dozen, as a

Club Field Day.

The Gardeners' and Florists* Club
held its fourth field day of the year,
September 11, with the Breck-Eobinson
Co., at its Lexington Nurseries. As on
preceding outings held at Waverley, the
Arnold Arboretum and Newport, E. I.,
ideal weather prevailed, the day being
warm and the skies brilliant. A spe-
cial coach, kindly provided by the
Breck-Eobinson Co., on the 1:51 from
the North station, carried members and
their friends to Munroe's station, lo-
cated in the nursery, the journey
through the noted market gardens of
Arlington and historic Lexington be-
ing much enjoyed.

The nurseries have been established
only three years, but already some
ninety acres have been brought under
cultivation, the active manager, Albert
E. Eobinson, being responsible, in large
measure, for the great amount of work
accomplished. Automobiles carried the
ladies and such members as jJreferred
that means of locomotion to Shanks'
mare, but the majority of the seventy-
five present walked around in a leis-
u ely manner, inspecting the fine blocks
of ornamental trees and shrubs and
hardy herbaceous plants, all of which
were in fine condition. The green-
houses were filled with bedding plants,
ferns, cyclamens and quantities of
small roses, mostly ramblers. A large
concrete garage is in course of construc-
tion. The soil in the nursery is diversi-
fied and a suitable kind can be found
for any special plants.

After inspecting the nurseries an ad-
journment was made to the commodious
packing shed, where an excellent colla-
tion was served and much appreciated.
President H. H. Bartsch made a few
remarks, expressing pleasure at what
had been seen and thanks for cour-
tesies extended. Short addresses were
also made by W. N. Craig, T. J. Grey,
Kenneth Finlayson, W. J. Kennedy and
A. P. Calder, Sr., following which

of splendid quality, thanks to the cool
and moist summer. The great draw-
back to dahlia exhibitions is their
stereotj'ped arrangement. Rows of
glasses, each glass containing a single
flower on a uniform level, are neither
beautiful nor satisfying. More atten-
tion should be given to aesthetic ar-
rangement and encouragement should
be given to flowers on long stems, also
made up in baskets and hampers. At
present the dahlia is largely ignored by
the retailers and it should be the eflfort
of horticultural societies and special
societies to place it on a higher plane
than at present. The awards were:

Twenty-four show and fancy — J. K. Alexander,
first; W. I). Hathaway, second.

Twelve show or fancy — W. H. Symonds, first.

Twenty-four cactus — W. D. Hathaway, first;
J. K, Alexander, second.

Twelve cactus — Miss Fanny Foster, first, with
splendid blooms of Sovereignty, Mrs. H. Randle,
Dorothy Hawes, Mrs. Stevens, Golden Crown,

F. W. Fellowes, Miss Stredwlck, Crystal, John
Riding. Melody, Extase and Pierrot; George H.
Wallcer, second.

Twenty -four decorative — L. D. Litchfield, first;
W. D. Hathaway, second.

Twelve decorative— G. H. Wallter, first; M. C.
Caswell, second.

Twelve peony-flowered — G. H. Walker, first;
E. F. Dwyer, second.

Twenty-four vases pompons — J. K. Alexander,
first; W. D. Hathaway, second.

Twelve vases pompons — F. P. Webber, first;
E. F. Dwyer, second.

Single, twelve vases — J. K. Alexander, first;
James Robertson, second.

Largest and best collection of named varieties
— George H. Walker, first, with a splendid and
representative collection of grand fiowers; E. F.
Dwyer, second.

The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. had
an extensive display of dahlias and
gladioli, well arranged. Non-competi-
tive collections of dahlias came from
J. K. Alexander, Mrs. L. A. Towle,

G. H. Walker and F. W. Snow. Mis-
cellaneous displays of cut flowers came
from Henry Stewart, gardener to Miss
Cornelia Warren; Mrs. N. P. Cutler,
S. G. Kulkmann, Theodore L. Dean,
Albert Geiger, Jr., and others. G. W.
Page had a fine display of the newer
hardy asters. James Wheeler, T. D.
Hatfield and others showed buddleias.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. had a
charming basket arranged with Dahlia
Bertha von Suttner. Luther Parker
and F. H. Snow received honorable

mention for seedling dahlias. The
Mount Desert Nurseries, Bar Harbor,
Me., had a fine display of Buddleia
magnifica and herbaceous plants ar-
ranged on large bamboo stands, which
allowed each spike and flower to show
its individuality. Particularly fine
were Aconitum Elischeri, Rudbeckia
nitida and Aster Amellus.

In the fruit department apples,
peaches and plums were largely shown,
and of splendid quality.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wax arrived
home September 9 from a vacation of
five weeks spent at Old Orchard Beach
and Grand Lake Stream, Me. Mr. Wax
caught twenty-five salmon while at the
latter resort. He sent two boxes to
the store, which were duly appreciated.
The fishing was good near the New
Brunswick line, while the scenery was
magnificent.

The annual meeting and dinner of the
Boston Flower Exchange will be held
at Young's hotel October 23. The di-
rectors report a most successful year.

McAlpine Bros, are getting, from
their Exeter, N. H., greenhouses, some
nice shipments of such roses as Hoosier
Beauty, Black Beauty, Hadley, Ophelia,
Taft, Sunburst, Ward and Killarney
Queen. They also have a fine lot of
Mile. Cecile Brunner.

S. J. Goddard started sending in new
crop carnations September 7, his daily
shipments being of Alice, Matchless
and Beacon. These are handled • by
George H. Noyes, who also receives
Benora, Beacon, Mrs. Ward and a nice
salmon sport from Winsor from W. D.
Howard, of Milford.

At the annual exhibition of the Med-
ford Horticultural Society, September
10, Duncan Finlayson and W. N. Craig
judged the exhibits. George F.

Twenty-five years catering to the retail trade.

Lawrence, had a beautiful group of
foliage plants, in which crotons were
a feature. George B. Gill showed a
splendid lot of dahlias, and S. E.
Spencer, of the Brooklands Gardens, a
grand lot of gladioli. Mr. Spencer at
present has 40,000 spikes of Mrs. Frank
Pendleton in bloom, making a notable
display.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. has had
an unusually good run of funeral work
of late. Baskets of dahlias and gladi-
oli are being exhibited at a number of
the leading fairs this fall.

All the local seed stores have received
large shipments of Dutch bulbs, the
quality being extra fine. Some of the
French bulbs are not yet to hand, but
they have come in better season than
a year ago.

Remember the meeting of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club September
21. There will be special displays of
dahlias and gladioli, vacation ex-
periences, a discussion on the proposal
to change the date of the 1916 S. A. F.
convention at Houston and lots of other
business. A large attendance is ex-
pected.

Robert Montgomery has had no trou-
ble in disposing of his carnations in
spite of the existing glut. He is send-
ing in extra good Killarney Brilliant,
Ophelia, Russell, Hadley and Sunburst.

At Penn's more funeral orders were
filled last week than in any previous
week of the year. William Penn is ex-
pected home from his transcontinental
trip September 22.

The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. keeps
the windows attractive at this season
with beautiful displays of dahlias and
gladioli, which are grown to perfection
at the nurseries.

The Horticultural Club held a meet-
ing September 8. Patrick "Welch spoke
on his recent California trip.

has been instituted, will be without
representation after the present year
unless some change is made in the list
of nominees.

The store of Wax Bros, is always
busy. August this year proved away
ahead of July and sales exceeded those
of any previous August. The window
displays are always effective.

W. J. Patterson, of Wollaston, is
sending in a nice lot of dahlias, gladi-
oli and annual larkspurs.

Among carnations coming from A. A.
Pembroke is Lady Northcliffe, a beau-
tiful, slirimp pink variety, sweetly
scented. This variety he has planted
more heavily this season. He is also
sending in a fine lot of Pink Delight,
Alice and Gorgeous.

The Budlong Rose Co. is cutting
Francis Scott Key of good quality.
Ophelia, Double White Killarney, Had-
ley and Russell also are fine.

The first new crop pansies of the sea-
son are coming in from W. E. Turner,
of Woburn.

Some of the finest asters I have seen
this season are those grown by John
Barry, of Reading;

P. & W. O. Jahn, of East Bridge-
water, through W. H. Carr, are dispos-
ing of a nice lot of new crop carnations.
Their leaders are Benora, Beacon,
Matchless, Enchantress Supreme, Pink
Delight and Rosette.

W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, fin-
ished his season with sweet peas Sep-
tember 11. He is finishing housing
double violets, which had made good
plants.

J. Newman & Son have been kept
quite busy through the summer with fu-
neral orders.

H. R. Comley is depending largely
on aquatic flowers in fine variety for
a window display at this season.

The Houghton-Gorney Co. devotes
one window to a display of dahlias this
week. It would be vastly more inter-

ST. LOUIS.

Tlie Market.

Extremely hot weather prevailed last
week, which did no good to florists
in a business way. Stock arrived in
poor shape. There were large consign-
ments of roses and a demand for choice
quality only. There was a scarcity of
fancy stock, but an oversupply of other
grades and prices suffered greatly.
There were plenty of good medium-
stemmed Beauties. Carnations, from
young stock, are coming in. They have
good flowers, but are short-stemmed.
White and Enchantress have the best
call. Asters still are in heavy supply.
Large shipments of these from New
York were noticed. Home-grown asters
are somewhat scarce. A number of late
gladioli and everblooming tuberoses
are coming in. Clematis paniculata was
in considerable demand last week.
Easter lilies have been numerous. Val-
ley is somewhat scarce. Good greens
of all kinds are plentiful.

Club Meeting.

The St. Louia Florists' Club held its
monthly meeting September 9, on the
grounds of the H. J. Weber & Sons
Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo. The weath-
er was fine and the attendance large.

Automobiles were in waiting at the
end of the car line to take the members
to the nursery, where the guests were
met by the four Weber brothers, Frank,
Walter, William and George. The
meeting was held in one of the big stor-
age houses, which was nicely fitted up
for the occasion. President Bourdet
called the meeting to order. After dis-
posing of the regular opening routine
business, the trustees and other com-
mittees made final reports. Fred M.
Frow and Thomas Carr filed applica-
tions for membership and Edward
Guntly and A. S. Cerny were elected.

ler and W. J. Pilcher, both ex-presi-
dents, as installing officers and they
proceeded to install the iiewly elected
officers. Vice-president Wells and
Trustee Ohlweiler were detained on
business and were the only officers miss-
ing. After the meeting adjourned, the
Weber brothers escorted the members
to a place where refreshments were
served. The greenhouses were closely
inspected by the rose and chrysanthe-
mum growers, who found everything in
first-class shape. It was a jolly crowd
who gave the Weber boys three cheers
for the hospitalities shown. Those who
failed to come to this outdoor meet-
ing missed a rare treat.

Various Notes.

Messrs. Schray, Windier, Brix and
Pelletier experienced a busy day Sep-
tember 7, filling orders from brewery
officials to be sent to a west end resi-
dence as birthday offerings. When Ed-
ward Guntly, of the Windier store, re-
ceived a second order it aroused sus-
picion and he investigated, with the re-
sult that all the orders were found to
be bogus, having come from a girl who
was celebrating her birthday in a room
filled with floral offerings to show her
friends how popular she was. All
plants and flowers were sent back to
the florists and the lady arrested.

The park employees held their annual
picnic September 11, at Linn's grove.
The attendance was large and the after-
noon was devoted to games, while at
night the younger folks held the dance
floor. Superintendent Strehle says it
was a grand success.

The big, yellow Hupmobile racing
car of Walter Young, of the C. Young
& Sons Co., caught fire last week and
the woodwork was badly burned. No
more joy rides for the next ten days.

Joseph Zonz, formerly with the W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co., returned
from Juneau, Alaska, September 10.
He showed some fine gold nuggets taken
from his mine. Mr. Zonz says that
while he was away he kept posted on
St. Louis affairs by looking through
The Eeview at the store of Winter &
Ponds.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle held
its monthly meeting at the home of
Mrs. John L, Koenig, on Clarence ave-

nue. All members were present and a
most pleasant afternoon was spent.
Mrs. Emil Schray will entertain the
members at the next meeting.

Julius Schaeffer, who has been em-
ployed in the floral department of
Vandervoort 's for six months, is now
in the employ of MuUanphy, at Sev-
enth and Locust. He took the position
recently vacated by Wm. Gray.

A new store has been opened at 5504
Waterman avenue, under the name of
Young Bros. Floral Co. William C.
Young, Jr., and John Young, formerly
with C. Young & Sons Co., compose the
firm. The location was formerly the
west end branch of the old firm.

Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., informs me that he
will soon be oflE on an extended eastern
trip in the interest of his company.
They have a heavy fall business before
them.

David Geddis, manager of Vander-
voort's floral department, has a big
force sit work decorating the store for
its fall opening. The decorations were
elaborate and were admired by all.

Jules Bourdet, president of the
Bourdet Floral Co., and of the St. Louis
Florists' Club, has invited the members
to hold the October meeting at his
place. The invitation has been ac-
cepted.

E. W. Guy, well known florist of
Belleville, 111., came over September 13,
to attend the funeral of his aunt, Mrs.
William E. Guy, who died in Coopers-
town, N. Y., where she had been spend-
ing the summer.

Starting Saturday, September 18, the
wholesale florists will again keep open
all day on Saturdays, but the trade will
have to stock up for Sunday, as that
day will continue a day of rest with the
wholesalers throughout the year.

John S. Carter, of the Nicotine Mfg.
Co.; C. C. Sanders, Alex. Siegel, Miss
M. S. Newman and Mr. and Mrs. Fred
U Weber returned from summer vaca-
tions last week.

Eecent visitors were: Martin
Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
Philadelphia, in company with Mrs.
Eeukauf, and Claude Wisely, of Mur-
physboro, 111., who has finished building
a new greenhouse and reports a splendid
summer business. J. J. B.

In reporting the purchase of the 377-
acre farm at Clayton, Mo., in its issue
of September 2, The Review referred
to Arthur W. Schisler as of the Schis-
ler-Corneli Seed Co., when in fact Mr.
Schisler 's concern is the Schisler &
Kaercher Seed Co. Up to about a year
ago the name was the Schisler Grain Co.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.
Business prospects are brighter than
they have been. The market has a bet-
ter tone and it looks as if fall trade
has started. Funeral work again con-
stituted the biggest item in the week's
sales. Counter trade has kept up splen-
didly all summer, but there was a no-
ticeable increase last week. Floral
decorations for several functions are
being ordered, although the weather
was warmer last week than at any
other time this summer. The heat has
been hard on the cut roses, particularly
the Killarneys, as they open too quick-
ly under heat. There were plenty of
roses, except American Beauties, which
were rather scarce during the end of
the week. Other varieties were well
represented by first-class stock. The
supply of carnations is daily increas-
ing and the quality of the flowers is
good, but the stems still are short.
Asters have improved in quality. A
new supply of gladioli is in from the
fields. Chrysanthemums are more in
evidence, but there is no heavy demand
for them. Lilies are plentiful.

Various Notes.

The G. M. Kellogg Cut Flower &
Plant Co. experienced a fire last week.
It was caused by a lighted cigar,
which had rolled down into the base-
ment from the sidewalk. Mr. Parker,
president of the company, spent a
lucky day at the lake near the green-
houses and caught twenty pounds of
fish. Mr. Parker was injured some
time ago by striking his head against
a nail, receiving a deep scalp wound.
Lightning struck one of the large
smokestacks September 5. The stack
will have to be rebuilt. This firm
recently placed the decorations for the
dedication of a church, which required
over four truckloads of palms.

Jacob Tobler is busy repairing his
greenhouse and building a new service
shed.

W. J. Barnes has started the decora-
tions at the Emery, Bird & Thayer dry
goods store, using over ten dozen palms
and ferns for the millinery department
alone. Next week he will use a large
number of plants for the anniversary
celebration.

Biedermann & Son have been doing
some renovating at their greenhouses,
which are now in first-class order.

Last week's boat from Bermuda
brought not even one case of Harrisii
bulbs. The total arrivals this season to
date are only 830 cases.

The Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb.,
in a petition to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, asks that the freight rate on
sweet clover seed from Wheatland, Wyo.,
to Lincoln be reduced from 80 cents to
60 cents per hundred pounds.

The later indications are that the Au-
gust frosts did no great general harm to
the bean crops, but this should not be
taken as indicating absence of cause for
concern — the bean crops were bad enough
without anything more happening to
them.

An American consular oflBcer in Chile
states that a business man in his dis-
trict is in a position to make shipments
of large quantities of clover seed. Cor-
respondence may be had in English
through the Department of Commerce,
Washington, D. C.

Aethur W. Schisler, of St. Louis,
who recently was reported as having pur-
chased a farm of 377 acres near Clayton,
Mo., for trial grounds and seed growing,
is of the Schisler & Kaercher Seed Co.
Up to about a year ago the concern was
the Schisler Grain Co.

First prize for the best decorated au-
tomobile in the floral parade at the New
England fair, at Worcester, Mass., Sep-
tember 7, was awarded to Walter D. Boss,
head of the seed house of Eoss Bros.
Co., Worcester, and president of the
Worcester Agricultural Society. His
Cadillac was decorated to represent a
battleship.

To interest the public in the mainten-
ance of lawns, F. C. McNabb, manager
of the Arizona Seed Co., Phoenix, Ariz.,
has inaugurated a lawn-growing contest,
with liberal cash prizes for the winning
contestants. The company has imported
a carload of grass seed from Europe,
which will be tested by some of those
who aspire to the prizes.

A deal was consummated September
4 whereby Clarence Wedge, proprietor
of the Wedge Nursery, at Albert Lea,
Minn., becomes part owner of the Robert
H. Black seed house, of the same place.
Robert Black, who retains half interest
in the business, states that his business
had grown to a point where it required
more capital and attention. Mr. Wedge
has been in the seed business for many
years and will continue to conduct the
Wedge Nursery. The firm name of the
new company is Black's Seeds.

The seed trade has taken interest this
week in watching the wireless reports
from the Sant' Anna, the Fabre line
steamer on fire in mid-Atlantic. This is
the boat that has brought most of the
French bulbs to America and on its last
trip fetched 12,311 cases. The fire at
sea, on the return voyage to Marseilles,
was in the No. 2 hold, the same one in
which fire damaged a large quantity of
bulbs and immortelles as the boat lay at
its dock in Hoboken one year ago. At
last reports the Sant' Anna had reached

YOUR OWN SNAPDRAGON

seedlings can be grown at small cost. Allow 76 days to have them ready to bench. By
growing your own plants you not only save mucb expense but have them at hand, undis-
turbed and growing, when needed'. It very often happens that weather conditions are
not right for shipping plants and much loss is incurred in this way. Growing your
own plants solves allof these problems.- A few packets of seed will give you your stock
and some for neighbors.

We specialize in Snapdragon and are sticklers for quality. All of our seed is pro-
duced under glass, only one variety in each separate house, which eliminates any possi-
ble chance of mixing varieties by wind or insect. Pure seed means a liberal expenditure
of brains and labor. Our personal time is given. Only a few strong shoots on each plant
are permitted to flower. Each seed pod must be perfect in form and size and ripen uni-
formly from bottom of stem up. All others are thrown out. This is but an inkling of the
various details that make for our pure seed. Do you wonder that our business grows and
that we have repeat orders for the fifth time from hundreds of customers?

Grow your owa plants and sow seed now to follow Mums. Pure, fresh seed as follows:
Our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.60; 7 for $5.00. Melrose, Buxton, Garnet,
Yellow, White und mixed. 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. All orders cash. Free cultural direc-
tions. Seedling plants of Nelrose and White ready now at $5.00 per 100.

Miss S. £. Boyden, Holden, Mass., today says:
that you claim for it, and then some."

During the government's fiscal year

Manager L. H. Manley, of the Har-

owing to the wet weather around Leroy
and in Wyoming county the bean crop
will be greatly reduced, many acres
having been turned under and sown to
wheat. Navy and kidney varieties are
principally grown.

Jas. Vick's Sons, Eochester, N. Y.,
have the usual acreage devoted to as-
ters, and hope to secure a heavy crop
of seed.

Woman versus
Mystery

(Continued from last week.)

By this time the fat man is well on
his way, and I know I am built for
speed when it comes to making a get-
away from a circus like this. He is
big and good natured enough to stand
the blow; I have been trying to figure
out, if it takes a steamer six days
to cross the Atlantic, how long will
it require an ant to walk around "Fat-
tie's" chest measurement?

Now, don't worry whether it is skirt
or trousers worn by the order taker,
just so you get the goods right in
quality and right in price; you can fig-
ure you are getting your money's
worth, and every man wants his full
dollar's worth every time he spends
one hundred pennies. Business is busi-
ness for man or woman alike, and if
I cannot deliver the goods and please
my customers, I might find myself look-
ing up the matrimonial advertisements
and try to donate myself, soul and
heart, to some male earth being, to
keep me from being a White Elephant
on some one's charity list.

But I should worry, NOT as long as
the florists live and buy, and I work
and try; from starvation I hope to
never die. Kindly omit flowers when
I am dead but please pass over the
orders while I live.

The last I heard of the fat man, he
is in love with a young lady wearing
rolled socks and a fur in August.

Harrisville, Mich., is reported to be fine
in quality but email in quantity.

Wood & Co., East Cleveland, sup-
plied many of the seeds to the winners
in the garden contest, which is giving
all concerned much local publicity.

A. C. Kendel, Cleveland, reports that
the cucumber harvest of some of his
growers in New York state is only a
one-third crop. Yet should frost hold
off for a while, the returns may in-
crease to one-half. The selling season
has been a good average one. M.

LILIES FBOM HOLLAND.

The Associated Press, which boasts
of its accuracy, is responsible for the
following, which appeared in many
newspapers last week:

"New York, September 10. — George
Trossit, a steward, and William Leus-
helm, a coal passer, were killed while
at work in the hold of the steamship
Eyndam, of the Holland- American line,
at her Hoboken pier yesterday. Gase-
ous fumes from lily bulbs, which
formed a large part of the Eyndam 's
cargo, are said to have caused death.
The men were discovered unconscious
by other members of the crew. Frank
Drews, a Hoboken fireman, volunteered
to rescue them. Wearing a helmet, he
entered the hold, but was pulled out
unconscious after a few minutes. Eopes
finally were placed around the other
two, who were dead when taken out."

The Eyndam, of the Holland-Amer-
ica line, brought 10,336 cases of tulip
and hyacinth bulbs and the consignee
of the largest quantity states they ar-
rived in good condition, in no way
damaged.

MANY DUTCH BULBS ABKIVE.

The Holland-America steamer Eyn-
dam, from Eotterdam, docked at New
York September 6 with more than 10,-
000 cases of Dutch bulbs aboard. The
number of cases in this shipment ex-
ceeds the combined total of all pre-
vious arrivals of this year. The bulbs

MABKET PEA FOB CAI.IFOBNIA.

What market pea is the most profit-
able to grow in California, where we
have little frost? H. S.— Cal.

Yorkshire Hero is the best and most
popular market pea for California.
The haulm is short. The peas are of
good quality and are freely produced.
Yorkshire Hero thrives better in hot
weather than the longer-stemmed mar-
rowfat pea. It is a good seller in all
markets, and bears over a longer sea-
son than most other varieties.

H. R. Eichards.

PEONIES FOE CALIFORNIA.

Kindly advise us which is the best
early pink peony, the best early white,
the best late pink and the best late
white for cut flowers for market in
California. L. C.

Peonies generally do not do so well
in soutlfern California as farther north
and east, but there are several grow-
ers who have given them special at-
tentiwiL The following varieties are
fis gooQ as any I have seen: Early
white, festiva maxima; late white,
jCouronne d'Or; early pink, edulis
^uperba; late pink, Triomphe de 1 'Ex-
position de Lille. These are grown in
small quantities for the Los Angeles
market. H. E. Eichards.

*^ipp*a*-*<»''

L08 ANGEI^S.

The Market.

Business has been decidedly better
the last week or ten days. The cry
now is for more good stock. The warm
spell of a week or two ago left the car-
nations in bad shape, many being
burned and others infested with thrips.
Roses are especially poor, and there is
little else to take their place. Lilium
rubrum helps out for some work, but
there is a limit to the uses to which
this variety can be put. The cooler
weather we are having will harden the
stock and throw more substance into
the flowers.

Club Meeting.
The members and friends at the meet-
ing of the Los Angeles Horticultural
Society, held September 7, were dis-
appointed because of the absence of
Jacob Dieterich, who was to have spok-
en on the fair and the S. A. F. conven-
tion at San Francisco. Mr. Dieterich
has a most humorous way of imparting
his facts to an audience, and when-
ever he can be prevailed upon to speak
there is always something worth lis-
tening to. But he also has a large
amount of sympathy for human suffer-
ing, and a big heart, and in the exer-
cise of this he was kept away from
the meeting. James Taylor, J. D. Meri-
wether and James McGilvray stepped
into the breach and gave a most in-
teresting evening. The horticultural
beauties of the exhibitions at San
Diego and San Francisco were com-

i pared, not altogether to the advantage

. of the latter.

Vice-president Felgate showed some
magnificent zinnias of his perfect strain.

The flowers are of extra large size and
fine form, besides being of the bright-
est and most perfect shades of , color.
A hearty vote of thanks was given him
and Secretary Kruckeberg, who showed
fine double petunias and the new canna,
Firebird.

The committee on the smoker met
after the meeting and decided to hold
a smoker every three months.

A communication from the National
Gardeners' Association asking the so-
ciety's (^Deration in welcoming horti-
culturists from the east and in giving
them free access to the society, pro-
vided they leave their own society in
good standing, was favorably acted
upon.

Various Notes.

Walter Garbett, manager of Dar-
ling's Flower Shop, has returned from
his vacation and reports a pleasant
time spent with Mrs. Garbett and fam-
ily at Catalina.

Harvey Lindley, who had charge of
the flower store of the late firm of
Smith & Dieterich, but latterly with
G. W. Smith, has resigned his position
and gone north to look after some land
holdings. Mr. Lindley was formerly
the manager of the cut flower depart-
ment of Howard & Smith. His pleas-
ant, yet businesslike, manners have
won him many friends in the city, who,
while sorry to lose him, wish him suc-
cess in his new location.

E. Newcomb, representing the W. W.
Barnard Co., Chicago, was in the city
calling on the trade and visiting his
folks in San Dimas. Probably much
of Mr. Newcomb 's success is due to
his true western spirit as well as to his
stick-to-it-iveness, which he possesses
to a large d'egree. He left last week
for San Diego.

The opening of the new department
store of J. W. Eobihson, at Seventh
and Grand, was a great success and
called for a large number of compli-
mentary floral pieces. Horseshoes, urns
and large wreaths were the favorite
forms of design. The work was ap-
parently well divided among the lead-
ing retailers.

"It's a long way to Montebelld"
from Crown Point, Ind., but Alois Frey
has joined the procession that has been
headed that way for the last few years.
He will grow his new colored freesias
on land leased from J. Dieterich. Mr.
Frey has probably made a wise choice,
for the land lies high and is of good
texture, with just enough silt in it
to suit these bulbs. As freesias have
never been grown on the land, there
will be no fear of mixing. Mr. and
Mrs. Frey left last week for San Diego
and on their return will commence
planting.

H. W. Turner has a large number of
the newer small polyantha roses in the
new houses, and they are mighty inter-
esting just now. The new boiler house
is practically complete, and Mr. Turner
is considering the erection of a brick
stack instead of the steel ones usually
built here.

There is always something pretty in
the windows of Morris Goldenson's
store. The present decoration of shell-
pink roses and accompanying greenery
■ is distinctly good. Manager J. Gordon
reports business good, especially in fu-
neral work, but says that really good
stock is difficult to get.

A fine display of lotus in the window
of Wright's Flower Shop was an at-
traction last week.

The flowering of Victoria regia, or
another species a good deal like it, in
the lily pond at Eastlake park, has

H. E. Richards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The florists, or at least a good num-
ber of the larger shops, have had an-
other big week, owing to the numerous
special decorations for Labor day and
in particular for the Native Sons' cele-
bration of Admission day, September 9;
while the Jewish New Year at the same
time caused an extremely large demand
for ferns and flowering plants, as well
as special baskets and cut flowers in
general.

Offerings of cut flowers are hardly
so large as for some time and every-
thing is quickly cleaned up. Supplies
of the small summer stock are still
quite large, but some lines are going off
crop and all show signs of the late-
ness of the season. Gladioli also are
getting scarce and will not last much
longer. A few fair sweet peas are
seen. Carnations are still rather
scarce, as the new stock is not y§t show-
ing up well. Asters are going off crop
and poor stock brings rather high
prices. There are plenty of good
dahlias, including a wide range of va-
rieties. Amaryllises are fairly popular,
but are peddled on the street at low
prices. Lilies are less plentiful, though
rubrums are in fair supply, and there
are enough cold storage giganteums to
meet requirements. Roses show little
change, except that the small growers
are bringing in less stock and every-
thing, including short stock, cleans up
quickly. Mums continue to improve
and some are being shipped, though few
go far east as yet. October Frost, Mon-
rovia and Crocker are most plentiful,
but there are a good many Rose Pink
and pompons are doing well. Violets
are still quite scarce, only a few small
bunches being seen at the larger stores.
Cyclamen plants are appearing more
freely and are good. There is a good
deal of fine cockscomb. Hydrangeas
are less in evidence and offerings of
primulas are moderate and nothing ex-
tra in quality, the best of the available
stock having been cleaned up earlier in
the week. Few orchids are appearing.
Gardenias are fair and the cut is
quickly disposed of.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society, on the eve-
ning of September 4, was the first time
that the members have got together
since the S. A. F. convention and was
naturally of more than usual interest,
bringing out quite a large attendance.
Just as the meeting opeiied, Victor
Podesta came in and, depositing the
fine trophy won by him in the bowl-
ing tournament on the table used for
floral exhibits, was greeted with pro-
longed applause. H. Plath, president
of the society, made a short talk on af-
fairs connected with the convention,
expressing much gratification at the
way everything turned out and making
a satisfactory report as to the financing
of the affair. At t^ close of his talk
D. Raymond made a motion that Daniel
MacRorie be fined for not attending

The Florists^ Review

September 16, 1915.

port of the work of the committee in
charge of convention arrangements.

Mr. Plath, for the exhibition com-
mittee, reported progress in prepara-
tion for the fall flower show next
month and also announced a dahlia
show to be held in the Palace of Horti-
culture September 18 and 19, under
the auspices of the California State
Floral Society and the Alameda County
Floral Society, in which eleven prizes
are offered for competition for profes-
sional growers.

The sensation of the evening was
sprung when proposals for new mem-
bers were called for, in response to
which Daniel MacRorie proposed the
names of Patrick Welch, Wm. F.
Kasting, Charles Willis Ward, John
Morley, Vincent J. Gorly and others of
national prominence, numbering close
to a dozen. This was the signal for
another outburst of applause. Mr.
MacRorie said that many of the visi-
tors had asked for life membership,
for which there was no provision in
the constitution of the society, and a
proposition was made to make the
change in the constitution, a commit-
tee consisting of Mr. MacRorie, Frank
Pelicano and Eric James being ap-
pointed to consider the matter. J.
Noordink was elected to membership.

Frank Pelicano, reporting for the
picnic committee, expressed the opin-
ion that it was getting too late in the
year to hold a successful picnic, this
being concurred in by many of those
present. It was recommended instead
to have a florists' day at the exposi-
tion.

In discussing a lecture for the next
meeting, it was suggested that efforts
be made to get the stereopticon slides
shown at the convention of park super-
intendents last month.

The exhibits were: A large vase of
dahlias, Delice and Kaiser Wilhelm,
by Frank Pelicano, 85 points (Mr.
Pelicano said Delice is one of the best
cut flowers in the market today, but
refused to comment on the Kaiser) ;
a large fern, Nephrolepis PiersOni ele-
gantissima, shown by H. Plath and
rated at 85 points; and Mr. Podesta's
bowling trophy, rated at 105 points.
Called upon to tell how he did it, he
gave the credit to Mr. MacRorie as
originator of the local bowling club.
He was warmly congratulated and
much pleasure was expressed that the
trophy is to remain here.

Various Notes.

Friends of Wallace R. Pierson will
be glad to hear of his complete recov-
ery, as proved by a strenuous after-
noon at the exposition and participa-
tion in a dinner in the evening of
September 9, at which he was guest of
honor to a large number of local flo-
rists, who accompanied him to the
train on his departure for Los Angeles.
He left the hospital September 2 and
his activities since would give no in-
dication of his recent serious illness.
He expresses no regret at the loss of
his vermiform appendix, but the fact
that he leaves it here will no doubt
give San Francisco a higher place in
his affection than it has had in the
past. Mr. Pierson will spend a week
in the south before starting on his
eastern trip.

E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., Philadelphia, left a few
days ago for Portland and Seattle on
his homeward trip. It is understood
that this is the first convention at

of the float was made of yellow muma,
with suitable admixture of greens;
the lettering around the top, of core-
opsis and African marigolds. The
field of the flag was of white carna-
tions, on a base of Minnie Burgle
dahlias, the bear of scabiosas and the
star of red carnations.

The Art Floral Co. had quite an
elaborate decoration this week at the
St. Francis hotel, for a dinner of the
Horse Breeders' Association, at which
tables were laid for about 100. The
central feature was a large mass of
tiger lilies, with many figures of run-
ning horses made up of marigolds.

The Market.

Conditions last week were even bet-
ter than those of the week before. All
of the*^rst-class stock was cleaned up
daily and there was but little waste
of poorer materials. The public
schools were opened September 7 and
brought back many families from their
summer vacations. Jewish New Year's
came September 9 and was celebrated
extensively with flowers. The demand
for funeral work has been good.

Good asters still come in, but their
end is in sight. Carnations are more

Plentiful and the cut of roses is normal,
'ems are beginning to sell and the
first cyclamens and obconicas are
shown. The demand for orchids has
«xceeded the supply.

Floral Center at Fair.

The Clarke county fair was held at
"Vancouver, Wash., last week and in
connection with it a floral center was
«stabli8hed in the business district of
the city, designed by Julius Dorsche, of
the committee on exhibitions of the
Portland Floral Society. The center
occupied the street for one block and
was enclosed by a neat picket fence.
Alongside and partway across the ends
were beds of potted plants, set in wet
sand. About 4,000 plants were used.
■Geraniums, cockscombs, tfuchsias, co-
leus, heliotropes and tuberous begonias
were the principal varieties and they
made a creditable showing, considering
the time of year and the fact that
none of the growers had expected such
a call, as this is an innovation at
county fairs.

In the middle of the street were
booths for the exhibition of dahlias.
The Willamette Dahlia Co., the Colum-
bia Dahlia Co. and Gill Bros, each
filled one booth. The rest were occu-
pied by amateur displays.

The center was well lighted by
strings of electric bulbs.

The florists hope that other counties
will follow the example of Clarke
county and use a floral display as one
of the attractions at the annual fairs.

Various Notes.

The September meeting of the Port-
land Floral Society will be held at Ma-
sonic Temple at 8 o'clock, September
21. Some important matters will be

PICEA PUN&ENS.

One of the finest varieties of ever-
green trees in the nurseryman 's cata-
logue is the Colorado spruce, Picea
pungens. Its striking appearance and
its adaptability both commend it to the
grower of ornamental evergreens.
Pyramidal in form, it makes an up-
rignt, symmetrical growth. Its strong,

sturdy appearance, its dense, pungent
foliage and its clusters of cones all
combine to make it an object of ad-
miration anywhere. It seems to be
hardy wherever evergreens grow. It
withstands the cold, and resists llie
drought as well as any of the spruces.
Wherever it is planted it makes a vig-
orous growth, on all kinds of soil.

The, beautiful color of this spruce is
one of its attractive points. This va-
ries from a silvery white to a dark
blue, almost purple. According to the
different shades of color, the varieties
argentea, cserulea and glauca are dis-
tinguished. One of the latter, Koster's

The Rorists' Review

SEPl'EMBEIt 16, lOlS*.

blue spruce, is one of the best known.
There is in addition a variety with
green leaves, known as viridis, which,
however, has not the popularity of the
blue varieties.

Splendid specimens of this spruce
are numerous. Probably some of the
best are on the old Douglas grounds at
Waukegan, 111., where trees twenty-five
and thirty feet high are in perfect con-
dition, showing no weakness anywhere.
A particularly fine specimen, grown in
the east, is shown in the accompanying
illustration.

TWO WAYS OF PACKING.

Bad packing of flowers is complained
of by Consul General Thomas Sammons,
at Shanghai, China, in a report to the
State department. He quotes as fol-
lows from one of the best informed men
in the far east as to bad packing:

"Last winter I placed two orders of
the same value for rose plants, one with
a nurseryman in Ohio and another in
England. The American plants were
simply tossed into a flimsy pasteboard
box.-^ith a little loose moss. The box
arrived all crushed and the roses were
as dry and dead as the bones of an
early Christian martyr. The English
roots were tightly wrapped in moss,
then in cotton and finally in a gunny
bag. It took them longer to reach
me, but all were alive. ' '

PROPAGATION OF VIBURNUMS.

Kindly inform me how to propagate
-the snowball viburnum. A. D. — S. D.

There are two distinct varieties of
the so-called snowball. One, Viburnum
Opulus sterile, is a native species, often
called the guelder rose; the other, V.
tomentosum plicatum, is the Japanese
snowball. The first named is hardier
and transplants much more easily than
the Japanese variety. The Japanese
sort, however, is not' troubled with at-
tacks of aphis, as is V. Opulus. Both
varieties can be readily propagated
from pieces of half ripened wood, which
should be taken from the beginning to
the middle of July and inserted in a
close frame in sandy soil. Cut the
leaves hack half their length. Keep
the cuttings shaded, freely sprayed and
closed early in the afternoon. If pre-
ferred, the cuttings can be placed in
pans or flats. The latter method is pref-
erable where small numbers are to be
propagated. Cuttings put in now would
not root satisfactorily, but shoots can
be layered and taken oflf when well
rooted. C. W.

Racine, Wis. — Business is rapidly
growing better in Racine, reports Jo-
seph Rehl, proprietor of the Flower

^FIELD-GROWN^

Carnation Plants

nT is our pleasure to be able to offer to the trade, this season, the finest lot of field
plants we have ever grown. The Pittsburgh district has enjoyed an excep-
tional summer. Cool days and nights, just enough rain, plenty of dew. Just that
weather on which carnations delight and thrive. Our stock has no disease of any
kind, no stem-rot, no dead foliage, no spider. All plants guaranteed first quality
and size, in good healthy condition, true to name. We dig carefully, give liberal
count and pack to ship anywhere. We are carnation specialists, our men know how.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Business in general did not improve
to any extent last week. There has
been a large amount of funeral work,
wiiich has used some of the surplus
stock, this being the mainstay of the
trade. There is still an abTindance of
stock, and as sales are slow, the mar-
ket is always in a position to take care
of all orders that come in.

The new crop of roses is coming in
and the stock is more plentiful than
heretofore. The rose cut is sufficient
to meet the demand and the quality of
the flowers is exceptionally good. The
new crop Eussell roses have a brilliant
color and are easily the best on the
inarket. New carnations have made
their appearance, but, of course, are
not as yet arriving in any appreci-
able quantities. The stock looks fine
and seems to indicate that the gen-
eral run of carnations this year will
be exceptionally fine.

Chrysanthemums are appearing in
limited quantities and they are dis-
posed of with no trouble, as the stock
is in fine shape. Gladioli have short-
ened np to some extent, due to the
heavjf 'rains which visitfed this section
of the country last week. The quality
is deteriorating steadily, and the cut
will probably cease entirely in about
fwo. weeks. Asters are reduced in quan-
tity for the same reason, but they are
still in large supply. Fine stock is to
be had reasonably. Asters this year
have been better than those of the last
few years. There was a shortage of
valley last week, and the demand for
it was greater than it had been. There-
fore, no trouble was experienced in mov-
ing the cut, which was cleaned up
each morning. Lilies are in fair sup-
ply and the stock is in fine shape.
They are not moving rapidly, however.
The market during the last few weeks
has seen some extra fancy dahlias,
which found ready sale at all times.

Various Notes.

Nic Zweifel has returned from an ex-
tended western trip. He says that he
had a fine time and that it will not be
long before he goes again.

John Rindfleiach, of Beloit, Wis., has
returned from a long trip through Wis-
consin and northern Michigan.

Mrs. H. A. Levenhagen, of Manito-
woc, Wis., was a visitor last week.

Walter Holton, of Holton & Hunkel
Co., was ill for several days last week.
The Holton & Hunkel Co. has had its
store and office repainted and is busy
with repairs and improvements at the
greenhouses. H. J. S.

The Florists' Review

September 16, 1915.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Although business should be picking
up now, the weather is so warm and
outdoor stock is still in such fine con-
dition that we cannot expect much im-
provement until we get a good frost.
The market is overflowing with asters
and gladioli. There are numerous ama-
teurs in this vicinity who bring their
products to the city, and it is not un-
usual to see a woman sitting in front
of a grocery or other store with a lot
of first-class asters, selling them at 25
cents per dozen.

Vaxious Notes.

"' JIT^aflf of carpenters is engaged in
remodeling the exterior and interior of
Taepke's store. Upon Gus H. Taepke's
death, recently, the heirs formed a
stock company, known as the Gus H.
Taepke Co. The date of incorpora-
tion was August 23. The capital stock
is $15,000, divided into $100 shares.
Walter Taepke holds ninety shares;
Mrs. Kitt^^^agpke, Mr. Taepke's
widow, has WMPWve shares, and Laura
Taepke, a daughter, who always looked
after the retail business at the green-
houses, holds the remaining fifteen
shares.

E. A. Fetters' handsome new stores,
at Woodward and Pallister avenues,
are nearing completion. There are
three stores, with living apartments up-
stairs. The center store will be occu-
pied by Mr. Fetters. The property has
considerable depth and it is the inten-
tion to build several greenhouses in the
rear.

F. J. Eosser is the possessor of a new
"Paige six" touring car.

Ferdinand Kolbe recently purchased
a handsome new touring car.

The Detroit ilorists' Club has been
virtually reorganized. Many of the
members appeared to have lost interest
in the club's affairs to such an extent
that it was impossible even to collect
their back dues, covering in some cases
four or five years. Kecently a paper
was presented to every member, ask-
ing him to pay $4 in advance, as dues
in the new organization until January
1, 1916. Those not wishing to become
affiliated with the new club have been
just naturally dxopped, as the old or-
ganization is now practically extinct.
A further change of plans has also been
made. Meetings will hereafter be held
the first and third Tuesdays of the
month, instead of Monday as hereto-
fore. The members will assemble for
a 6 o'clock dinner, and later the meet-
ing will be called. This will be fol-
lowed by bowling. Several strong bowl-
ing teams were organized at the first
meeting, September 14. H. S.

THEREisNOSCARCin
of PALMS at DREER'S

i^pJR SUPPLY of Palms, and particularly that of Kentias,
\J§^ is not at all affected by the war tie-up of Belgian stocks.
^^ We are carrying the usual large quantities and full line
of sizes of the well known Dreer quality, but as the general
suiJply of this class of stock is much smaller than usual, due
to this blockade, there is certain to be a scarcity as the season
advances. The demand during August has been heavier than
we have ever experienced during that month, and we are posi-
tive that there will not be sufficient good stock to last through-
out the season. We therefore recommend that you cover
your requirements early. If you are not ready to accept im-
mediate delivery, let us book your order, and we will set aside
and reserve your stock, making delivery at any time between
now and October 15.

(ireenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
anj details of greenhoitee heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

USING 1-INCH RETURNS.

We are erecting a greenhouse 18x50,
with 4-foot walls and with glass in the
south end down to the eaves. The
boiler room is at the north end. We
expect to heat with hot water and
wish to use 1-inch returns. How would
you advise us to pipe the house, so as
to heat it to 60 degrees when the out-
side temperature is 10 degrees below
Eerof Will it be satisfactory to use
pipe which has been through a fire, but
which seems to be in good condition?

C. F. B.— Wash.

While pipe which has been through
a fire may be used if it does not leak
and has not been bent, it would not
be advisable to use 1-inch pipe for hot
water unless the boiler is six or eight
feet below the returns or a generator
is installed. To heat a house 18x50 feet
to 60 degrees, I would use two 2-inch
flow pipes on the plates and one under
the ridge, and would connect each of
them with five 1-inch returns. I would
prefer to use two 2-inch returns in the
wall coils and three under the middle
bench.

THE COAL MARKET.

The newly developed activity in the
coal market, reported last week, is
continuing this week without any
abatement, but also without much in-
crease. The mere fact, however, that
last week's volume of trade is main-
tained, without any sign of sudden re-
lapse, is regarded as an excellent rea-
son for hopefulness and quiet confi-
dence among the coal dealers. The
recent rather sudden- increase of or-
ders was attributed largely to the pe-
riod of cool weather, but the present
steady persistence of the demand, re-
^rdless of the weather, seems to prove
that the fall trade "has gained its
stride."

The export trade, of course, is now
fully recognized to be a prime factor
in the situation, for it is said that
**the exports of coal in August for
the third successive month reached

WHICH SHALL IT BE?

CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratings, fuel waste, dan-
ger of breakdowns by cracking of sections, dealers' commissions on sales)— OR

KROESCHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest and "true blue "
boiler ratings, safety, quick heat, faotory-to-user prices).

Kroeschell Replaces 4 Cast Iron Boilers

Previous to 1909. Mr. Schultz, of Menominee, Mich., heated his entire plant with cast Iron
boilers. It had been claimed that cast Iron boilers are superior to the Kroeschell. Mr. Schultz Is
now heatinf; 18,000 sq. ft. of kUss with the Kroeschell which was Installed In IM)9, and they are
required to fire same only twice a nl^ht. The followlngr letter speaks for Itself:

"We do not have the least trouble to maintain about 60 decrees in the coldest
weather. Yonr Kroeschell Boiler is the best I ever had. Befor* I J||««trd abont
your boiler I Iiad four cast Iron boilers, and I wonld not part with the Kroeschell
for a hundred cast iron boilers now." (Signed) CUAUL.KS SCUULTZ.

July /SI, 1013, Blenoniinee, Mich.

Kroeschell Replaces 2 Cast Iron Boilers

The Marysvllic Floral Co., of Marysvllle. O., installed a No. 4 Kroeschell
Boiler In 190S. Previous to this time they used cast Iron boilers. The follow-
ing letter speaks for Itself:

"Has the Kroeschell given entire satisfaction? Ten! We had
two cant iron boilem. bat yours proved by far the best. Your
boiler has already outlasted the two cast iron boilers by five years,
nud all the expense that we have been put to was a smoke
dome." (SiKned) MARYMVILLIS FLUKAL CO.

July 21, 1913, Marysville, O.

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron Boilers

The ranire of 0. Peterson & Son, at Escanaba, Mich., was formerly heated by cast Iron boilers.
Last season this firm installed their first Kroeschell. a No. 6, which is now heating 13,000 to 14,000
sq. ft. of Klass. They state that they fire these boilers three to four times during the night in
zero weather. Under date of June 28, 1913, they write as follows:

"The Kroeschell Boiler has sriven better satisfaction than any other boiler we
have ever had. i<'or years we have fired many different boilers, and really never
could aret one that ive misht say was entirely satisfactory— there wra* always
MometliinK wrone-but now since we have tried the Kroeschell. we have solved

our boiler proposition. W«> have a ( — ) cast iron sectional boiler here, only

used two years, and we wish we could Bet rid of it and put in another Kroeschell
in its place." (8isne<l) c. PICTISKMON & SON.

adopted by the operators." The Sep-
tember prices at the mines, $1.40 for
mine-run and $2.25 for lump and egg,
are firmly maintained.

A BOILEB AND CONNECTIONS.

I have an upright boiler, four feet
in diameter, ten feet in height, and
containing 118 2-inch flues. It is set
in a pit deep enough so that six feet
of the water in the boiler is below the
return pipes and four feet of the water
is above the returns. Two S^^-inch
flows rise four feet above the boiler
and run with but a slight fall to the
end of the houses, which are 100 feet
long. There are two 3 1^ -inch return
openings at the bottom of the boiler.
• I shall connect the water tank with
the boiler. The tank is thirty fee*
above the top of the boiler. That will
provide a pressure, I think, of about
sixteen pounds. Will that be sufficient
to cause the water to circulate satis-
factorily? I have been using steam,
but wish to change to water if I can
get a good circulation under these con-
ditions. I have only about 6,000
square feet ef-glass or its equivalent.
Where should the pipe from the tank
be connected — at the bottom or the
top of the boiler! T. L. S.— Mo.

While it would be preferable to use
a horizontal boiler of the dimensions
stated, good results may be obtained
with the arrangement outlined. The
expansion tank should be connected
with the highest point in one of the
flow pipes, and a branch pipe should
lead to the other flow pipe. This
would do away with the necessity for
air valves in the flows; otherwise the
connection could be made at any point.
Since a serious explosion might result
if the pipe to the tank happened to
freeze, I would advise the use of a
safety valve on the expansion pipe.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Market.

With the vacation season about
over, the florists are back at work and
are looking forward to a busy fall and
winter. Business last week was the
best that we have had all summer.
There was an unusually large lot of
funeral work. There was a great de-
mand for corsages, baskets, cut flow-
ers and plants for the Jewish New
Year 's.

Asters are still plentiful. New car-
nations are improving, having better
flowers and longer stems. Good gladi-
oli are about done for; so are sweet
peas. A few Golden Glow and Smith's
Advance mums are arriving. Other
offerings include lilies, snapdragons,
cosmos, and Asparagus Sprengeri and
plumosus. Eoses also are plentiful.

The Florists' Review

Seftehbeh 16, 1915.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Owing to the intense heat of last
■week, stock of all kinds has been on
the wane. There have been great quan-
tities of roses on the market, but the
quality was only medium. Outdoor stock
has increased during the warm days,
when the thermometer registered 90 de-
grees and upward.

There was a big call for funeral
work last week, and early fall wed-
dings and social affairs have given a
stimulus to the florists' business.

Chrysanthemums have met with a
good demand for these affairs, as well
as for the numerous mercantile open-
lings held during the week. Gladioli
are becoming scarce. Asters sell well
and continue to bring good returns.
Carnations are steadily improving.
Cosmos and dahlias are exceedingly
plentiful. Fine Easter lilies meet the
demand for funeral work. Green goods
are sufficiently plentiful.

Various Notes.

The New iHairen Floral Co., located
at New Haven, Ind., suffered a heavy
loss from a tornado September 10. The
entire range of six houses was dam-
aged, and several new houses under
construction were completely de-
molished. No one was injured. Her-
man Leitz, of the New Haven Floral
Co., is believed to have insured the
houses.

F. J. Knecht is cutting some fine
Ward, Eussell and Shawyer roses,
which he is shipping to eastern whole-
sale markets. His chrysanthemum
plants are in prime condition and prom-
ise a splendid cut this fall.

The Zur Muhlen flower store is dis-
playing some good gladioli. They re-
port business good for early September,
with the demand chiefly for funeral
work.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting
a variety of seasonable flowers. The
rose crop is good and promises well
for the coming season. Their orchid
houses contain many of the best com-
naercial varieties, and S. Hudson an-
ticipates a good cut for fall and winter.

The Doswell greenhouses are making
a splendid appearance. The carnation
plants are some of the best seen in
this locality and are already yielding a
good cut. Chrysanthemum plants of
many varieties are doing well, and the
rose stock is exceptional. R. F.

DAHLIA SOCIETY SHOW.

A tremendous amount of enthusiasm
is being shown in every section of the
country in the American Dahlia So-
ciety, which was formed in New York
city last May by Richard Vincent, Jr.,
ex-president of the Society of Amer-
ican Florists, and other dahlia lovers.
Over 100 have joined as charter mem-
bers, and there is every prospect of
this number being increased to 250 be-
fore the annual meeting.

The annual meeting will be held dur-
ing the first show of the organization,
September 24 to 26, at the Museum of
Natural History, New York city. It
is expected to be the largest dahlia
show ever held in the United States.
The expectations are that over $300 will
be offered in prizes.

Copies of the preliminary schedule
have been issued, and may be obtained
by writing to either George V. Nash,
secretary of the Horticultural Society
of Now York, Bronx park, or Joseph
J. Lane, secretary of the American Dahlia
Society, 11 West Thirty-second street.
New York city.

To promote interest in this show, the
executive board at its last meeting
authorized the secretary to prepare
2,500 double post cards, to be sent out
through the dahlia dealers in various
parts of the country to the large buy-
ers of dahlias. All joining before Sep-
tember 24 become charter members.
The dues are $1 for initiation, $2 for
active membership and $1 for associ-
ate membership.

As has been stated previously, Presi-
dent Vincent has offered to supply the
dahlia blooms to any retailer who will
enter into competition for the various
prizes offered for dahlias in decorations.
John Young, secretary of the Society of
American Florists, will take charge of
the exhibition. An attempt is being
made to get together flowers from all
the growers possible and to make an
exhibition of one flower of each of as
many varieties as possible.

ONE YEAR AGO WE

PUT ON LONG PANTS

Fifty-two weeks ago today The Review laid aside the hahiliments of
youth and, in assuming a new fall dress, gave to the Trade for the first
time a Magazine in appearance as good as its contents. That the Trade
has appreciated the departure from the pamphlet style has been apparent
to the most casual observer — it has been The Review's biggest year.

WADDLING clothes fre-
quently suffice for a publi-
cation much longer than
they do a member of the
genua homo. In fact, a
large percentage of the
publications of this coun-
try, brought forth, so their
sponsors fondly hoped, to
" fill a long felt want, ' ' in
the course of time develop a striking
similarity to Peter Pan, whom you will
remember as a cute little fairy who
never grew up.

It took The Review almost seventeen
years to get its first suit with long
pants — that was a year
ago this week.

The Eeview had at-
tained a robust growth
in its youthful dress —
the pamphlet style — and
it really should have
donned man 's attire —
the dress of grown -up
magazines — a year be-
fore it did, but you
know how prone people
are to let well enough
alone, to cling to what
has served them fairly
well in spite of the fact
that something much
better has become avail-
able.

A Lncky Move.

But today its pub-
lishers count themselves
fortunate that The Re-
view was able to make
the great improvement
just at the moment it
did — count themselves
fortunate that they did
not permit the unsettle-
ment that existed a year
ago to deter them from
incurring the increased
fixed expense that went
with the improved style
of printing and binding.

For The Review, for
the last year at least,
unquestionably has been
in a class by itself.

In a year of business
nnsettlement, when prac-
tically all publications
quite plainly have been
losing both circulation
and advertising, The Ee-
view has done the larg-
est business in its his-
tory— has gained in cir-
culation, in advertising

and, above all, in the friendly regard
of those for whom it is published.

Boosted by Its Patrons.

The greater part of the new subscrip-
tions— and subscribers are the main-
stay, the reliance, the backbone of the
business — have come through the cour-
tesy of readers who have recommended
the paper to other florists, and espe-
cially to beginners in the business. In
a number of cases subscribers even
have* gone farther than to recommend
The Review — they have taken charge
of the remittance of the new man,

Does this look as though each subscriber
gets his Dollar's worth per year?

Lut Year's Coplet of The Review Make a Stack a Foot High.

sending it in with word that it was a
pleasure to thus render a double service.
But the bulk of Eeview subscriptions
always have come singly, direct from
the subscriber. The Review never has
employed subscription canvassers — its
effort has been for sufficient editorial
strength to secure spontaneous subscrip-
tions by mail, and to hold them. Ad-
vertisers long since have learned that
a circulation among people who write
for and pay for a paper because they
want it to read is far better than a
circulation obtained either by offering
premiums or through canvassers. In
the one case, many sub-
scribers really buy the
premium; they may
never read the paper
that comes with it. And
in the other case — well,
the canvasser usuallv
pockets the greater part
of the subscription fee
and cares nothing be-
yond that; he would as
soon as not sell a flo-
rists' paper to a black-
smith or to Mrs. Got-
rocks— and you know
what a smooth talker
can dof No, thank you,
The Eeview never has
cared for either th« pre-
mium-built or the can-
vasser-got kind of cir-
culation.

Subscribers Stick.

That the circulation of
The Eeview is today,
after a year of business
depression, larger than
it ever was before is
directly due to the fact
that the trade likes the
paper well enough so
that ninety per cent of
the subscriptions are re-
newed within three
weeks of expiration.
And it may be of inter-
est to note that the pa-
per now is considerably
the largest strictly hor-
ticultural trades' period-
ical printed anywhere in
the world — largest in
size and number of
pages; largest in circu-
lation. While it has lost
considerable of its Euro-
pean circulation in the
last year, due to Euro-

Gentlemen:-

Allow us to remark that we think you are wide awake
and always on the alert, ;]u8t as your weekly magazine^ proves.
The Review has a certain magnetic quality that causes people in
the trade to drop everything else as soon as The Review makes its
appearance. Something will be wrong if ever it fails to arrive of
a Saturday.

We axe enclosing some advertisements which we shall be
glad to have you print until we notify you to stop.

Yours very truly.

the moment unusually busy with other
matters, the paper still penetrates to
every corner of the globe in which
there is an interest in the doings of
the trade in America.

The policy of The Review never has
been to charge "what the traffic will
bear" — instead, it has been the aim
to hold its rates as low as can consist-
ently be done; to see how much, in-
stead of how little, can be given for
the money. The idea is, first, to bring
the paper within the reach of all who
care to read, and, second, to give such
good value that everyone will want it.

Wbat a Dollar Buys.

Just what a dollar has procured,

spent for a year's subscription to The
Review, not many, probably, have
stopped to consider. The picture on
the preceding page shows the fifty-two
weekly issues printed since the up-to-
date magazine binding was adopted,
stacked one on top of another. Beside
them stands a foot rule. You will recog-
nize the light-colored copies as the pe-
riodical special numbers. When this pile
of papers was put on the scales it was
found to weigh thirty-six pounds and
three ounces. A foot of papers weigh-
ing over thirty-six pounds for a dollar!
The 12,000 copies of each edition
printed in the year just closed calltd
for the use of 443,400 pounds of body
stock and 28,080 pounds of cover stock,

a total of 471,480 pounds of paper, or
almost 236 tons. Had it been possible
to have stacked these copies one on top
of the other, it would have made a pile
12,000 feet high, as the illustration
shows, or a little over two and a quar-
ter miles.

It might be urged that mere bulk
does not constitute value in a trade
paper, but a florist could not develop a
large business without giving good
value — and no more could a publica-
tion.

In this connection there may be in-
terest for some in the accompanying
table comparing the circulation and
rates of a dozen weekly trade papers
picked because each is a leader in its
field. Twelve are used because it is
enough to make the points — the lead-
ing papers in fifty trades would show
no more, and no less.

Cost to Headers.

Take the matter of subscription
price: Of these dozen papers picked at
random only one charges its readers as
little as The Review. Several charge
$4 or $5 a year, and the average for
the lot is $3.77.

Editorially The Beview might be
stronger if its income were larger —
and it might be still more expensively
printed — but it is doubtful if it would
thereby render a better service to the
trade. With a low subscription price
the paper is within the reach of all.

Volume of Advertising.

A paper that covers its field as thor-
oughly as does The Review would al-
most inevitably have a large advertis-
ing patronage. The only thing that
could prevent would be prohibitive
charges for space.

And Review rates are not prohibi-
tive. They easily can be called reason-
able. Indeed, after noting what the
others of this dozen leaders charge, one
might almost say Review rates are de-
cidedly and definitely low.

But this is only another form of ex-
cellent service to the whole trade — to
buyers as well as sellers.

A trade paper owes its first duty to
its subscribers. Good service to its
readers lies primarily in telling the
trade news truthfully and fully — and
how can the trade news be told fully
without a full showing of adsf For
the trade news is found in the ads
quite as much as in the text.

A Word on Bates.

By charging a distinctly reasonable
rate for the use of its space The Re-
view makes it possible for all who wish
to put their business news before the
trade in attractive form.

The publisher's advantages in the
lowest possible rate include: A big as-
sortment of trade offers that in most
cases are as interesting as editorial
matter; a low cost for solicitation, the
publisher's selling expense; a steady
volume of business to keep the plant
running at minimum expense.

Bates of Other Leaders.

Note the yearly rates per page for
the dozen papers in the table on this
page. Regardless of circulation, none
of them charges so little as The Re-
view. American Lumberman, with
practically the same size circulation,
charges more than three times as much
as The Review. And Dry Goods Econ-
omist— well, look for yourself I

Review Ads.

Each of these papers carries a fine
volume of advertising — but their space
is not used, in proportion to the size of
each field, anywhere near as generally
as Keview space is used.

In last week's issue The Review car-
ried 1,637 separate advertisements, for
each and every one of which its pub-
lished, public card rates were charged
without deviation. That's service.

It is service to buyer. It is service
to seller. Not so good service as will
be given in the future, perhaps, but
good service as judged by all the ac-
cepted standards — also, good service as
judged by comparison with the circu-
lation and rates of other leading trade
papers — any trade papers.

OOVEEINQ THE CONTINENT.

A telegraph wire across the conti-
nent— from the Massachusetts building
at the San Francisco exposition to the
City Club of Boston — and a florist at
each end, is a situation just a few min-
utes anticipated by the illustration on
this page. One end of the wire is
shown, and at it is speaking Governor
David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts,
seated at the table in the rear center
and facing the front. Standing at the
left, between the two windows, is the
well known figure of Henry Penn,
awaiting his turn to talk to Boston fol-
lowing the governor.

Mr. Penn was, therefore, the first
florist to talk from San Francisco to
Boston, and his brother, William Penn,
who answered him, was the owner of
the second florist's voice to cross the
continent. The photograph was taken
in the Massachusetts building at the
San Francisco fair. William Penn an-
swered from the City Club of Boston.
The florists received this distinction
through the courtesy of the Pilgrim
Publicity Association," of Boston, of
which Henry Penn is an active member.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Preparations Rapidly Progressing.

Preparations for the fourth national
flower show, to be held in Philadelphia
March 25 to April 2, 1916, are in active
progress. Space in the areas set apart
for the trade exhibits is being freely
reserved, and at present the bookings
amount to over $4,000 in the aggregate.
One exhibitor, who had booked for a
liberal space, recently increased his
booking to 1,200 square feet, equiva-
lent to a $1,200 stand.

Chairman George Asmus, of the na-
tional flower show committee, will call
a meeting of his committee shortly, at
which the second preliminary schedule
will be settled. The schedule will in-

elude the American Carnation Society's
premiums and the carnation section.
This section will, it is expected, have
more than usual prominence, for the
reason that the A. C. S. is to celebrate
its twenty-fifth anniversary, or silver
jubilee, at this show.

The American Rose Society's and
American Sweet Pea Society's premi-
ums, with the sectional premiums, will
also appear in the new schedule. Spe-
cial prizes offered by H. A. Dreer, Inc.,
H. F. Michell Co., .John Cook, Zand-
berger Bros., of Holland, and others
will also be announced.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety has decided to abandon its cus-
tomary spring show for 1916, and to
throw its influence into the work of the
national flower show. To this end it
has appointed W. F. Therkildson,
Robert Craig and David Rust a com-
mittee to act in conjunction with the
national flower show committee.

.7. Otto Thilow, chairman of the lec-
ture committee, has the work of his
committee well in hand, and the lec-
tures will be an important feature of
the show. The committee on special
features and the other local commit-
tees are all making good progress, and
have their plans well on the way to
completion.

Much favorable comment by the
trade has been passed upon the two
plantings outside the exhibition hall,
which have been quite conspicuous this
summer and have helped considerably
to attract attention to the forthcoming

show. H. A. Dreer, Inc., and H. F.
Michell Co., who provided these plant-
ings, are to be •commended for their
interest and forethought.

Treasurer F. E. Newbold, of the
Horticultural Society of New York,
who is taking a most active and kindly
interest in the show, has obtained prom-
ises of assistance from the members of
several ladies' garden clubs and socie-
ties, and he reports that all seem am-
bitious to even outdo the efforts of the
ladies whose excellent assistance was
such an important feature of the suc-
cess of the 1915 New York show.

That the show has the interest and
attention of the trade in all its
branches throughout the country is evi-
dent from the letters received at the
secretary's office, and there is every
prospect that the national exhibition of
1916 will eclipse all preceding flower
shows. John Young, Sec'y.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Referee E. Foster
Heller has filed the first and partial re-
port of audit in the case of Ira G.
Marvin. After directing payment of
certain claims of priority, allowing the
trustee commissions of $346.25 and an
additional sum of $346.25 for conduct-
ing the bankrupt's business, and allow-
ing bankrupt's attorney $50, creditors'
attorney $75, and trustee's attorney
$250, he has declared a first and partial
dividend of one per cent on unsecured
claims.

ODCN LETTEli^^" READERS,

TO KILL WORMS ON FEBNS.

We note, under the head of "Worms
on Perns," in The Review for Sep-
tember 9, the inquiry of T. N. C, and
we think that we may be able to give
some information that will be useful
to him and others that are troubled
with the worms. We have been troubled
with the same worms about this time
every year. We call them army worms.
They are green and dark brown in
color, and work all through the day.

We have used mostly arsenate of
lead, mixing it according to directions
on jar and spraying with a fine spray.
We go over our ferns about three times
a week. We know this kills them, be-
cause we have found large ones dried'
up on the ferns.

Another remedy we have used is bran,
Paris green and syrup mixed together.
Enough Paris green should be mixed
with the bran so that you can see a
greenish tint. Mix a 4ittle water with
the syrup; then add enough to the bran
and Paris green to make the mixture
soft and mealy. Put this among the
ferns, and it will give the worms a
stomach ache.

"YOUB MONEY BACK."

In the last two months we have had
occasion to use the Classified columns
of The Review freely, in offering our
various plants for sale, especially En-
chantress carnations, in which we spe-
cialize, in each and every case offering
the purchasers their money back if the
plants we sent were not satisfactory.
We did not ask cash in advance, yet
out of some forty purchasers but five
did not send check with order. This
proves most conclusively to us that
when one sells in such good faith the
purchaser is ready to buy in equally
good faith, to the benefit of both
parties.

In our ten years' existence we have
received good, bad and indifferent
stock, when first-class stock was or-
dered. Three years ago we adopted
John Wanaraaker's policy, "Your
money back if dissatisfied," and recom-
mend the system to florists generally,
as we believe it is the one square way
to do business.

HIPKIS3 HOLDS FORTH.

I should feel it a loss to miss one
issue of The Review. It is a source
of pleasure to scan its pages, where the
best of us can find valuable informa-
tion in regard to the care and diseases
of plants needed for bedding and house
purposes.

It is a pleasure to deal with the
many who advertise in the paper.
Nothing creates more confidence in a
buyer than to see in every issue the
old reliables, on whom you can depend
in every purchase. Sometimes it is
hard to get just what you need for the
purpose intended. This necessitates
making inquiries of others unknown to
you. This is good experience, in my
estimation, for it puts one on guard
against the fakir. It has been my
pleasure to deal with perhaps twenty-
five different houses in the course of
a season. This year we purchased 20,-
000 bedding plants from Review adver-
tisers.

It is interesting to note at the bot-
tom of so many of the advertisements,
"Cash, please." Well now, that's busi-
ness, and every purchaser, large and
small, should be compelled in some way
to be honorable with every business
house carrying an advertisement in
the paper.

I rather think the business houses
are to blame in some cases. The rule
should be, full amount forwarded with
each order. Every season I have to
buy in large orders, and it has always

been my policy to forward payment by
check on all orders. I am sorry that
some of those who cry, * ' Cash, please, ' '
fail to give credit for the remittance
on their books, and at later dates for-
ward bills. That's where the check
system talks at both ends. How some
firms can niake such mistakes after
indorsing the check, I fail to see.

Again, there are others who will ship
any old stuff, after receiving your order
and check, when they have not the
plants that were ordered by name. This
makes one's work "look like 2 cents,"
especially if it is carpet bedding. I
lose all confidence in a concern that
does this.

The slogan in all transactions should
be "Cash, and all bills paid." But
the purchaser should get full value,
proper credit and named plants that
have been ordered by the advertise-
'ment, so that he will not be disap-
pointed after laboring over some valua-
ble bedding only to find at a later date
that he has not received what he paid
for. Wm. Hipkiss.

A VISIT TO MB. BEBWIND.

During the recent exhibition of the
American Gladiolus Society at New-
port, several of the members were af-
forded the opportunity to inspect the
estate of Edward T. Berwind, through
the courtesy of Bruce Butterton, the
head gardener, who for over twenty-
three years has performed his duties in
a manner possible only to genius.

Many technical descriptions of this
important estate have been published
in architectural papers, and it is not
the purpose of the writer to attempt
to enlarge or improve upon them — sim-
ply to thank Mr, Butterton for his
kindness. At the same time it is de-
sired to record the feeling of those
who gazed spellbound at the chaste
beauty of the grounds that at every
step unfolded new vistas, until the
climax was reached at the sunken gar-
den, where masses of reddish pink be-
gonias grouped in central beds lent
such magnificence to the scene as to
render adequate description impossible.

Nature under Mr. Butterton 's clever
touch has not been bettered — simply
assisted to do her best, as she always
does when all obstacles are removed.
Her varied charms are displayed to the
observer only at the most opportune

EUONYMUS RADICANS VEGETA.

Referring to the leading article in
The Eeview for September 16, Euony-
mus radicans vegeta is one of the best
evergreen vines recently introduced.
Taking it the year around it may be
the best, as it is more effective in win-
ter than any others and in summer it
is equal to the best. The glossy green
foliage is always in perfect condition,
winter and summer; and in the dreary
winter weather a wall covered with
Euonymus radicans vegeta is made
bright by the handsome red berries
that are produced in prodigious masses,
simply covering the plant. This new
vine is a great addition to our horti-
cultural treasures, but unfortunately it
may not become common for several
years, as the stock in the United States
is small. A. E. Wohlert.

TO OBTAIN BEIXJIAN GOODS.

The Department of State has for-
warded to The Review the text of a
talegram from the American ambassa-
dor at (London, giving the procedure by
which American importers may obtain
goods of Belgian origin from Holland.
It amounts merely to filing with
the foreign trade advisers, at Washing-
ton, a declaration from competent Bel-
gian authorities that the goods desired
are of Belgian origin and a guarantee
from a British bank that payment for
the goods haa been deposited therein,
or evidence that payment was remitted
to Belgium before July 13, 1915. The
full statement of the requirements of
the British Foreign Ofl&ce, as stated in
the American ambassador's telegram,
is as follows:

"One. A declaration or certificate
from the competent Belgian local or
municipal authority that the goods in
question are of Belgian origin or manu-
facture; and

"Second. A written guarantee from
a bank in this country [Great Britain]
that the purchase money for the goods
has been deposited with it, and will not
be withdrawn, without the special au-
thorization of his Majesty's Govern-
ment, during the continuance of the
occupation of Belgium by the enemy;
or alternativelv clear evidence that the

purchase money was remitted to Bel-
gium before July 3t, 1915, such as an
affidavit of the bank in a neutral coun-
try through which the money was re-
mitted. ' '

Ericas.

"^

Where ericas have been planted out —
and planted-out stock always makes
better growth than such as is pot-grown
— it is now time to lift and pot the
plants. It will be found that a large
number of fine, fibrous- roots w«r« made,
especially as we have had a moist sum-
mer since the end of June and the con-
ditions have been favorable to the
growth of hard-wooded plants. In or-
der to get plants into pots of moderate
size, it will be found necesSTy to pick
away carefully the soil attached to the
fine fibers, using a pointed stick for
this purpose. Drain the pots well and
firm the soil well; this, of (iourse, ap-
plies to all hard-wooded plants.

Ericas can be kept outdoors, for some
weeks yet, but place them where they
are somewhat sheltered and where they
can be easily moved indoors if a cool
wave comes along. E. melanthera is
the variety most favored commercially,
and it can be had in bloom from
Thanksgiving until Easter, or even
later. Place a batch in a house now,
with a temperature of 50 degrees at
night. Select the plants which have
buds showing most prominently. These
should prove useful for the Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas trade.

Azaleas.

It looks as if at least some portion
of the Belgian azalea shipments may
arrive after all, but those who carried
over stock and cared for it well through
the summer, need not worry. The prob-
abilities are that much of the stock
which Will arrive will be in the same
condition as some which came last fall
— minus both leaves and flower buds
and ot no value at all. Those who had
the courage to carry over plants will
have stock which is much more heavily
budded than the imported plants and
which should sell well. The azaleas
should all be lifted and potted as soon
as possible. Azaleas appear to be some-
what hardy subjects, but it does not
take a severe freezing to destroy the
flower buds at this season. We have
had a cool summer and early frosts are
not at all unlikely; it is better, there-
fore, to be on the safe side.

Stevias.

Both planted-out and pot-grown
stevias should now be placed where
protection can be readily given them
< cool nights. Stevias are easily in-
jured by frost and it does not pay to
run any risk with them. Some spray-
ing and shading will be necessary for
field-grown stock until it becomes part-
ly established. Keep the plants out-
doors as long as safety will allow and
be sure they are given a cold house
when placed under glass.

Berried Solanums.

Some growers prefer pot-grown sola-
nums. ^ It is true they set fruit and
ripen it earlier than outdoor-grown
}.lants, but the plants never approxi-

itiate the size^ pf those groyrn in the
field. It is time now to dig and pot
the solanums. They should be heavily
berried, and if carefully lifted and
potted they will only wilt for a few
days. Plants in 5-inch and 6-inch pots
are the most salable. Never mind if
the berries do not show color for some
time yet, for in a cool greenhouse they
will easily ripen for the holiday season
and that is when they are wanted.

Callas.

Where callas have been repotted for
some time and kept outdoors, it is now
time to house them if an early crop
of flowers is wanted. Callas can be
grown in a temperature of 45 to 60 de-
grees at night. They prove the most
profitable, however, if given a mini-
mum of 55 degrees. Callas are gross
feeders. When the pots are filled with
live, active roots, give them weekly
applications of cow manure water, in
addition to top-dressings of fine bone
once a fortnight. The Godfrey calla
is away ahead of the old C. jEthiopica,
being nearer a pure white and three
times as floriferous. It commences to
bloom when small, and when it is

strong it produces just as large spathes
as the old variety.

ArdisiasL

Ardisias are among the most popular
berried plants for Cnriatmas. As they
are of slow growth, th^ cannot be sold
at a popular price, mui solanums, but
there is always a good'emand for well
berried plants. It is 'necessary, how-
ever, that the fruit be fully ripened.
Each year growers send in batches of
nicely fruited ardisias with the berries
merely showing color. The berries on
ardisia plants do not show color a9
speedily as those on Jerusalem cherries.
Any growers, therefore, who possess
plants with fruit which is still green,
should place their stock in a warmj ,
sunny house, spray the plants freely,
elevate them if necessary and help the
fruit to ripen in every possible way.

Propagating Bedding Plants.

Do not wait too long before getting
in an ample supply of cuttings from
such indispensable bedding plants as
heliotropes, ageratums, coleus, alter-
nantheras, acalyphas, fuchsias, gerani-
ums, etc. Where a really compact type
of lobelia is wanted for carpet beds
or edging, it is best to lift and pot a
number of plants, which, when cut
back, will give a big crop of cuttings.
It hardly pays to put cuttings of
salvias in, or to lift old plants, as these
plants are so easily grown from seeds.
The only advantage in growing them
from cuttings is that the plants will
bloom when quite small and many cus-
tomers will not buy plants without
flowers.

SOIL FOB QLADIOLI.

We have some 50,000 gladioli in sev-
eral varieties. Among some of the
kinds there seems to be a decrease the
last two years in the size of the blooms
and in the quantity and size of the
bulbs. Every spring, since we took
up the gladiolus three years ago, we
have changed their growing location
and kept the soil, which is sixty per
cent clay, well cultivated and weeded.
During the winter season the bulbs are
stored in a dry cellar on shelves, two
inches deep, at a temperature of 35
to 45 degrees. The size of the bulbs
runs from one to one and three-fourths

A stiff clay loam such as you have
is not the best for gladiolus culture.
To improve conditions I would suggest
using sand, road grit or fine coal ashes
on your land before plowing; also to
give the land a good dressing of

leached wood ashes. If you will plow
the land in the fall, previously apply-
ing a good dressing of decayed stable
manure, and leave it rough over win-
ter, the action of frost will put the soil
in a better condition for gladioli.
Light, sandy soils, or even those con-
taining considerable gravel, are better
for gladiolus culture than heavier soils,
but you can gradually make your land
more suitable by following suggestions
made.

A change of soil is not really neces-
sary with gladioli. It is a good plan,
however, to seed some of your land
down in the fall with winter rye as a
cover crop, plowing this in early in the
spring. The resultant humus will much
improve your soil. In planting set the
bulbs six inches deep. The heavy soil
seems to be the real cause for the gla-
dioli deteriorating somewhat.

HYACINTHS FOB OHBISTMAS.

From Holland-arown Bulbs.

An increasing demand for Dutch hya-
cinths at Christmas, together with more
or less unsatisfactory results obtained
with French and German-grown bulbs,
induced the Holland growers to experi-
ment, with the result that, under cul-
tural methods as explained by C. P.
Moerlands, professor at the winter
school of agriculture at Naaldwijk, Hol-
land, they are now able to offer to the
growers hyacinth bulbs from which
Christmas blooms may be reasonably
expected.

In his directions, Mr. Moerlands first
explains the planting, harvesting, cur-
ing and storing of the bulbs, as
these processes have a most impor-
tant influence on the quality, earli-
ness and appearance of the flowers.
The culture which the French early
bulbs undergo, and the climatic condi-
tions under which they aire grown,
must be artiflcially applied. Barns and
warehouses must be heated to the tem-
perature prevailing in southern France
during harvesting and curing time.

This entails much extra labor and
expense, which naturally will make tbo
initial cost of the treated or prepared
bulbs slightly higher than those grown
under the usual conditions. There is,
however, little doubt that as soon as
the forcer of the prepared Christmas-
flowering hyacinth bulbs has been con*
vinced of their superior fitness for the
purpose, they will be welcomed by all.

How to Treat the Bulbs.

Upon receipt, the bulbs should be un-
packed immediately and be kept as cool
as possible, to allow them to breathe
and sweat. Preferably, they should be
laid out in a dry, cool, airy and sunny
place.

The bulbs should be potted early.
One bulb in a 3'/^.-inch or 4-inch pot
will bring the best results. Clean pots
that have been used are preferable to
new pots. If the latter must be used,
see that they are watered thoroughly,
as this will prevent injury to the tender
roots. Through baking, the clay in the
new pot has lost the power to resist
the absorption of such biting sub-
stances as alkali through the roots. It
is for this reason that watering of now
pots is essential.

The soil used for the potting of the
bulbs should be light and sandy, and
the use of fresh manure must b« avoid*
ed. It would be well to prepare in
advance the ground in which the pots
are to be plunged, as the digging in
should not be delaye<1. This soil mast
also be quite light, to insure drainage.
To prevent heaving, the cover should
be of about the same thickness as when
planting hyacinths in an outdoor bed.

The period following the digging in
of the pots is highly important to the

growth. Moisture and temperature play
an important part in securing earliness
of bloom. ^I^ought is fatal and, if
there are fe# rains, artificial water-
ing may be necessary. Great care
should be exercised to see that the soil
in which the pots are plunged is thor-
oughly moistened, if too dry. The use
of manure for covering is positively
detrimental. Even old manure, when
wet, will let its juices filter through
and injure the tender roots.

The Scandinavian and Russian
method of early preparation appears,
from past results, *'to be the best. Un-
der this method the pots are stacked in
a cellar or barn in pyramid fashion.
All empty spaces are filled with loose
soil and a covering of six to eight
inches of soil is placed on top and on
tne sides. A temperature of not less
than 45 degrees is maintained. The
pots may in a similar manner be put
in coldframes, filling the frames to the
top with soil and covering this with
boards. In this case the pots may be
dug up early in November and placed
in a dark, cool spot.

The Forcing Period.
The actual forcing should not begin
until a healthy root-growth appears and
the noses of the bulbs have reached a
length of two or two and one-half
inches. The bulbs should have reached
this stage during the latter part of No-
vember, when they may be taken into
warmer surroundings. Great care roust
be taken that the plants are not ex-
posed to sudden changes in tempera-
ture. Therefore, if the pots were dug
in somewhere outdoors, the transfer to

the greenhouse or forcing frame should
be made quickly and under protection
of mild weather. It is a good idea to
leave a layer of soil on the pot when
the work is being executed, so that the
noses arc well protected.

The difference in treatment between
the Roman and the Dutch prepared
hyacinths in the succeeding period lies
in the forcing of the latter with bot-
tom heat and of the former without
bottom heat and under light. The
Christmas - flowering Dutch hyacinths
should be treated similarly to lily of
the valley in forcing. They should be
kept in a warm, moist temperature,
without light. It is beneficial, there-
fore, to place the pots, upon trans-
ferring them from the outside to the
greenhouse, on bottom heat, covering
them with sand or with pots turned up-
side down. The bottom heat will cause
the roots to absorb great quantities of
moisture and the covering of the noses
makes it easier for the grower to keep
that moisture within. When the stem
under the bells has reached a length of
one and one-half to two inches, some
of the sand may be removed, about to
the rim of the pot, but they should
still be kept in the dark, in a tempera-
ture of about 70 degrees. In 'ten or
twelve days the bells will start to color,
when they may be gradually brought
into light. It shouhl be understood,
however, that sudden exposure to light
would cause the bells to remain green.
When in full bloom the plants should
be removed to cooler quarters, where
they Will increase in size and improve
in lasting qualities. Lecbner Bros.

yours have done.

The trouble is not baused by stem-
rot, because stem-rot attacks the stem
above the surface of the soil,, while in
the case of both the plants submitted
the rotting occurred at the roots or the
base of the stem.

Is there anything wrong with your
water! It might be that your water

is not suitable for plants. If you ap-
plied too much water right after
benching the plants, it might have
caused the rotting. This is especially
true with a soil that contains prac-

ilUSSELL AND SHAWYEB BOSES.

Will you kindly publish an article on
Sussell and Shawyer roses? I am a
Killarney grower, and this is the first
year I have grown Russell and
Shawyer. I am having considerable
trouble with mildew and black-spot.
How can I rid Russell of black-spot and
Shawyer of mildew! What is the best
method of feeding Russell and Shaw-
yer! I have been using only manure
water. Is thirty to fifty pounds of
water pressure suflScient to keep plants
free from red. spider! I secure pump
pressure from a 1%-horsepower gaso-
line engine, which is connected with a
pressure valve set at about fifty pounds.
This method does not seem to give the
desired results. What do you advise?

R. E. A.— Neb.

The Russell rose is a great success
with some growers and as great a fail-
ure with others. When one has had
the pleasure, as I had last week, of
walking through the houses at Waban.
Mass., and seeing Russell in its glory,
as grown by Alex. Montgomery, one is
forced to conclude that Russell is a
wonderful rose. Mr. Montgomery's
method, as I deduced from conversing
with him, is to keep the plants on the
dry side and feed them liberally.
Treating a rose aa an aquatic may suit
some varieties, but it is no way to
treat Russell if you are going to keep
black-spot away. Aside from the ques-
tion of water, Russell does not seem to
present any problems that would be
considered serious by the up-to-date
rose grower; if it does, I am not ac-
quainted with them. R. E. A., in com-
mon with most of us, is suffering from
a singular summer. The excessive mois-
ture in July and August, combined with
a high temperature and close, stuffy at-
mosphere, furnished ideal conditions for
the rapid spread of black-spot, and this
disease, in some sections, on both the
indoor and outdoor roses, became epi-
demic. When the weather becomes
cooler and drier, black-spot will not be
so troublesome. When roses are badly

infected with black-spot, the affected
leaves should be picked off as far as
possible, without stripping the plants
too much, keeping a dry, buoyant at-
mosphere. Cease syringing for a time,
save to spray the plants with a copper
solution to kill the spores of the dis-
ease and prevent its spreading. The
solution should be in the proportion of
one to 100. On days when the beds
must be watered, it should be complet-
ed before noon, so that the houses will
have a chance to dry by nightfall. Dry
lime dusted over the beds with bellows
will help dry the moisture when the
weather is damp. The lime will be found
to be an excellent germicide. When
the weather becomes cool enough to
permit a line of steam through the
houses, the spot will disappear, if at-
mospheric conditions are satisfactory.

The foregoing remarks apply with
equal truth to the cultivation of
Shawyer, though Shawyer does better
at 56 to 58 degrees in the winter. I
believe Russell is more at home in a
temperature of 60 to 64 degrees at
night.

Shawyer never showed any mildew
with me, and I always put its presence
down to the fact that many growers
keep the house too hot and too wet,
causing the plant to make too rapid a

growth, and consequently become more
susceptible to mildew or any other dis-
ease. Shawyer is a rapid grower any-
way, and needs little of the' forcing
treatment. Aa a rule, Shawyer makes
a growth long enough, without any
pinching of the flowers, to grade up
to extras.

The pressure On the valve set at fifty
pounds does not by any means indi-
cate that fifty pounds is always avail-
able. A strong pressure is necessary to
get good results when syringing. If
R. E. A. had 100 pounds of pressure on
hand, he could easily cut it down if
necessary by not turning the tap on
full, but he cannot raise the pressure if
the limit is low.

Some growers use a mulch of horse
manure, with continuous heavy water-
ings, as food for Russell and Shawyer.
Others use nothing but liquid cow ma-
nure, cooked before it is applied, and
still others use a mulch of cow ma-
nure from time to time, and no liquid
fertilizer. Feeding seems to be largely
a question of local conditions and ex-
pense. Chas. H. Totty.

HOW TO STOBE BOSE PLANTS.

I am growing a house of roses for
summer blooms, but wish to lift the
plants this fall and store them until
March of next year. The varieties are
Kaiserin, Taft and Lady Hillingdon,
own-root, planted in May, 1914, in
solid benches. I have a good, airy
cellar, that averages 36 to 40 degrees
during the winter months. Can I
safely store the plants in the cellar
until next March, after drying them
off in October and tying them in
bunches and covering with burlap!

R. J. P.— N. Y.

A dry, airy cellar should afford good
storage for rose plants during the win-
ter months. After holding off the water
for a couple of weeks, lift the plants
and heel them close together, pressing
some moist soil between the roots to
keep the air off. By this method the
plants will keep during winter better
and more safely than if tied in bundles.
If the temperature is kept as close
to freezing point as possible, the plants
will stay dormant and make a good
start when planted in the beds in the
early spring. If the plants are pruned
when lifted in the fall, they will re-
quire less space for storing.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN SOUTH.

Southern growers are busy with the
chrysanthemum crop. The buds have
been taken on all of them, except a few
of the varieties wanted for late flower-
ing. The side shoots appear in a re-
markably short time, and they must be
picked off. The plants must be gone
over every few days and all the shoots
cleanly removed. Keep the tops of the
plants well sprayed on bright days un-
ti color shows, to eliminate all risks
of red spider, and continue the spray-
ing with nicotine extract at least twice
a week.

Some feeding is necessary to obtain
good-sized blooms. The stimulants gen-
erally used are manure water, nitrate
of soda and ammonium sulphate. The
latter two are used in liquid form, a
4-inch pot being dissolved in flfty gal-
lons of water. When using manure wa-
ter, see that the manure is fresh and
strong. A wheelbarrow full of manure
will make 100 gallons of good strength.
If any of the manure water is left over,
you can use it in conjunction with
either the soda or ammonia by diluting
with clear water to the proper propor-
tion.

I find that oommercial guano is an
excellent fertilizer for chrysanthe-
mums, using four 4-inch pots to 100
gallons of weak manure water. The
guano contains both phosphoric acid
and potash, and is a more complete fer-
tilizer. Use twice a week until color
shows, alternating with manure water
and one of the other fertilizers. On
pink varieties, I should not advise the
use of either soda or ammonia, but
guano, and that in only about half
strength.

Bone meal is safe for all varieties, in
conjunction with liquid manure. To
secure the best results from bone meal,
dump a half or a whole sack into a
barrel, cover with water and let stand
for three or four weeks. By that time
it will be dissolved enough to be readi-
ly available as plant food. Use about
ten quarts of the solution to 100 gallons
of medium strength manure water.

When the blooms show color, stop
all feeding. (Less clear water will also
be needed. Keep a drier atmosphere in
the house. Otherwise you may have
trouble with damping of the flower
petals. L.

CTCI.AMEN IN THE SOUTH.

In the south, September is a good
time to plant seeds of cyclamen. Use
a compost of half soil and half leaf-
mold, finely screened, and add a little
sand if the soil is particularly stiff.
Where only * a few thousand cyclamen
are sown, it is better to sow them in
flats. The flats should be nearly filled
with the compost, which should be
pressed level with a brick, and well
watered. An additional thin layer of
pure leaf -mold, screened through a mos-
quito wire screen, makes a fine bed for
the seed. Make shallow drills about one
inch apart in the flats and sow the
seeds in the drills, leaving a space of
about one-half inch between each seed.
Cover lightly with more finely-screened
leaf-mold and water with a fine ro«?o.
A little sphagnum moss, rubbed through
a %-inch screen and spread- evenly and
thinly over the flats, will greatly help
to keep an even moisture. The flats,
covered with glass, should be placed on
an overhead frame, near the glass at
the end of a rose house. The soil must
be kept moist at all times.

In buying seed, be assured that it is
strictly fresh. Fresh seed will germi-
nate in from two' to four weeks, while
seed that is old may take three months
to germinate, and unevenly at that.
When the seed shows no sign of germi-
nation at the end of four weeks, use
water at a temperature of 85 to 90 de-
grees, which will hasten germination
considerably. L.

CLEVELAND ADOPTS FOED PLAN.

The Cleveland flower show, already
the best advertised event of the trade
of the present year, is making a new
bid for popularity by offering to share
its profits with the trade exhibitors.
The executive committee recently an-
nounced that twenty-five per cent of
the net profits of the show will be
turned pro rata to the trade exhibitors.

This is the first flower show to emu-
late Henry Ford, and the decision was
reached after the executive committee
found that the present sale of space

and the prospect for an unusually large
attendance at the show more than guar-
anteed the sum necessary to put on the
show. At the meeting the following
were present: S. Prentiss Baldwin,
chairman executive committee; Wm.

chairman all show committees, together
with F. A. Friedley, Timothy Smith,

the show could not be better was dem-

meantime. N. O. Caswell.

Referring to the article on the God-
frey calla, I have had the best of suc-
cess with them, growing them mostly
in 5-inch pots, one bulb in a pot. I
cut as many as five and six blooms off
one plant last winter. In the spring or
early summer, I plunge my pots out-
side, and let them take care of them-
selves until August. Then I shake off
the old soil, and repot the plants in
fresh soil, taking off the small bulbs.
I seldom lose any of them, and as soon
as the plants are housed they begin to
bloom. I feed them well with liquid
manure once a week. There is nothing
to equal the Godfrey calla for me.

Scharoun, Syracuse. President Kasting
occupied the chair.

The report of the committee appoint-
ed to consider the question of whether
a state society would be niiore beneficial
than the federation was received and

discussed. The committee was of the
opinion that a state federation of or-
ganized interests would accomplish
more than a society made up of indi-
vidual interests, the delegates present
sharing the opinion.

Name Changed.

Some discussion ensued as to the ad-
visability of changing the name of the
organization, so that it would include
horticultural societies, and thus become
better descriptive of the federation,
and on motion of F. R. Pierson, second-
ed by Dr. Bates, it was resolved that
the name be changed to read New York
Federation of Horticultural Societies
and Floral Clubs.

The subject of the movement to ob-
tain an appropriation of $60,000 from
the state for the erection of green-
houses for the purpose of carrying on
experimental work with flowers and
vegetables came up for discussion.
President Kasting reported the vetoing
of the bill passed by both houses, and
expressed his opinion that the only
course was to have the bill introduced
again. Messrs. Pierson, White, Vick,
Thorp, Bates and others presented their
views on the matter, and finally, on
motion of Mr. Pierson, seconded by
Mr. Thorp, it was resolved that a com-
mittee of three be appointed to meet
with the trustees of Cornell University,
and determine if possible upon the
most adequate framing of a new bill.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the trustees of the university should
add to their regular budget for state
appropriations an amount sufficient to
cover the cost of the proposed build-
ings. If this were not feasible, it was
understood that a bill should be intro-
duced as before. The president ap-
pointed Messrs. Pierson and Vick, with
himself, as such committee.

New Fair Building.

The next subject for discussion was
the necessity of a building at the state
fair embodying means for taking proper
care of exhibits of plants, flowers,
fruits and vegetables, the quarters now
in use not being suitable for the neces-
sary preservation of exhibits during the
fiir period. Messrs. Pierson, Bates,
Kasting, Thorp, White, Vick and others
took prominent parts in the discussion,
and many suggestions as to. the best
way to secure the required facilities
were offered. It was generally agreed
upon that if a suitable horticultural
building were erected at the head of
Empire court, the florists would see
that a creditable planting of flower
beds around it was carried out, stock
to be donated, and the only cost to be
defrayed being the labor of planting
and taking care of the beds. On mo-
tion of Dr. Bates, seconded by Mr.
Pierson, it was resolved that a com-
mittee of two be appointed to confer
with the Western New York State Hor-
ticultural Society, the New York State
Fruit Growers' Association and the
New York State Vegetable Growers'
Association, and solicit their coopera-
tion in an effort to evolve ways and
means for getting an appropriation for
the erection of a suitable building. Dr.
Bates and Mr. Kasting were chosen as
such committee.

KOHANKIE'S FIELD OF PHLOX.

Painesville, O., is noted for its nurs-
ery and florists' stock. It is also noted
for its Kohankies, who are in part
responsible for its fame for the former.
Among those so responsible is Julius
Kohankie, whose phlox, such as is
shown ill the accompanying illustra-
tion, becomes yearly better known to
members of the trade. Perhaps not the
least interesting detail will be Mr.
Kohankie 's comment: "These are the
phlox I sell each year through my
classified ads in The Review."

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.

About the TJsnal Flower Show.

Advancing the date of the Illinois
state fair, annually held at Springfield,
and reducing somewhat the appropria-
tion for premiums did not appreciably
affect either the size of the flower show
or the interest taken in it. The show,
as usual, occupies the center of the
building and attracts so much atten-
tion that it is necessary to rope it off
from the public.

The Plant Classes.

There was excellent competition in
the plant classes, the Springfield florists
securing their share of the awards only
by defeating two good out-of-town
growers. Only two classes failed to fill.
These exhibits were staged September
20 and the awards were:

NEW TOBK.

The Market.

Another week of intense heat has
passed, causing a demoralized market.
One little shower in the last two weeks,
humidity beyond endurance, and an
average temperature of 90 degrees,
with occasional rises to 100, indicate
the abnormal and almost unendurable
•conditions. The heat has affected the
quality of all varieties of flowers, roses
perhaps suffering the most. The few
good arrivals are quickly absorbed, and
the rest are at the mercy of the buyers.

The heat affected American Beau-
ties seriously. Only a few of them are
worth over $10 per hundred. Tremen-
dous shipments of the new rose stock
are coming in, but size of bud and
strength of stem are sadly lacking. A
few of the novelties, such as Scott, Key,
Ophelia and Hadley, are popular al-
ready. The common varieties sell by
ihe box or thousand at prices it is bet-
ter not to mention.

One or two specialties in carnations
may sell above $1 per hundred, but
only a few.

Aster receipts seem to be decreasing,
but prices do not advance. Only the
best of them are salable. Gladioli also
are making their last appearance for
the season. A few of the novelties are
still to be had, some bringing $2 per
hundred. Dahlias of every size and
color already fill the wholesalers' cel-
lars and shelves. Their popularity
grows slowly. Only the larger flowers
are asked for. The waste is enormous.

Orchids are down again, to almost
midsummer prices. There is a great
abundance of them, including CattJeya
labiata and oncidiuma. Valley sold at
from 50 cents to $2.50. Lilies are low-
again, some good flowers being down to
$2.50 per hundred; $4 was considered
high even for the best. The windows
are bright with tritomas, cosmos, bou-
vardias and Hydrangea grandiflora,
and, last but not least, now comes the
chrysanthemum.

Various Notes.

The exhibition of the American
Dahlia Society takes place this week
at the Museum of Natural History,
commencing Thursday, September 23,
at 2 p. m., and ending Sunday, Septem-
ber 26, at 5 p. m.

Secretary Young says the schedule
and other committees of the New York
flower show will meet at once. The
schedule will be sent out shortly.

Woodrow & Marketos have the con-
tract for the decorations for the W^er-
borg-Fish wedding at East HamptOh,
L. 1. Both church and house will ioe
decorated with wild smilax, lilies and
Clematis paniculata, and the tables
with orchids, gardenias and Adiantum
Farley ense. The bouquets will be of
orange blossoms and lavender orchids.

John Wood, of Providence, and Mrs.
Wood spent last week in New York.

Notwithstanding the intense heat,
the attendance at the plant auctions
last week was large, and the first cold
snap will see crowded houses. Sie-
brecht & Son, Myer and Israel Eisen-
berg were among the heaviest buyers
of the large palms offered by the Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co.

Ernest Prince, formerly with Weeber
& Don, is now one of the force of Bur-
nett Bros.

Philip Kessler, at the meeting of the
Florists-' Club last week, had the mis-
fortune to cut his hand badly, and was
obliged to have the attention of a
surgeon.

The first tuberoses of the year were
seen Saturday, September 18, at Will-
iam Kessler 's.

Chas. Totty, of Madison, N. J., is
sending to the New York market some
fine stock of his new pink rose. Gor-
geous.

F. H. Traendly and family have re-
turned from their summer home in Con-
necticut.

George J. Polykranas, former mana-
ger for the United Cut Flower Co.,
lias opened a wholesale store at 104
West Twenty-eighth street. Mr. Poly-
kranas's son will have charge of the
office. Mr. Polykranas says that dur-
ing the year he was manager for the
United Cut Flower Co., 185 groweris
shipped to him.

The Lord & Burnham Co. is building
five houses, totaling 50,000 square feet
of glass, for A. L. Miller, at Jamaica.

W. G. Badgley, of Badgley, Hiedel &
Meyer, has been nominated for mayor
of Summit, with no opposition candi-
date.

Inasmuch as the real estate and or-
chid business of Carrillo & Co., at
Mamaroneck, are in her name, Mrs.
Maria A. de Carrillo was allowed no
alimony by the court pending the sepa-
ration suit she has brought against
Luis F. de Carrillo. Her husband was
formerly of the firm of Carrillo & Bald-
win, at Mamaroneck.

J. Austin Shaw.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

There is more doing than there has
been in the last few weeks. Business
is waking up all around. There are
a few good short-stemmed carnations
to be had. With the fall openings in
the large department stores, all the
ilecorative plants in the city havie been
in use.

Various Notes.

Edward Enos has returned from his
two weeks' vacation in and about Prov-
idence.

John Webb has left his position with
S. E. Shaw and gone to work again at
liis old trade, glass cutting.

The annual dahlia show of the New
Bedford Horticultural Society was held
September 21 and 22 and was the best
show of its kind ever held bv the local

organization. The sociefy held its reg-
ular meeting September 13, President
Koy presiding. Mr. Roy, who has just
returned from the Pacific coast, gave
an interesting talk on his travels.

A recent visit to the greenhouses of
the Kingston Gardeners, at Kingston,
Mass., found some of the best mums to
be seen anywhere in that section of the
state. Other stock was in first-class
condition. W. M. P.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Harry Breitmeyer, Frank Danzer and
I were discussing some of the problems
of the trade in the handsome Breit-
meyer store, Detroit, when Harry
Balsley, of red flower pot fame, drove
up in what looked like a Pierce-Arrow
ear, driven by his charming lady. Mr.
Balsley brought a spike of bloom from
the park for identification. As we
three could not agree, one recognizing
it as buddleia, another as veronica, and
the third as something else, Dreer's
garden book was referred to, and that
settled the matter. President Danzer
expects to instill new vigor into the
Detroit Florists' Club by adding so-
cial features. It is a good idea and
will succeed.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange,
Detroit, is receiving excellent cuts of
roses. A lai^e addition is Fred Breit-
meyer, of Mt. Clemens, who has substi-
tuted roses for carnations.

J. E. Bissinger, Lansing, Mich., re-
ports a steady growth in his business.
His place is a model in every respect.
Speaking of inability to attend the
S. A. F. convention, Mr. Bissinger
strongly advocated a state organiza-
tion similar to those of Illinois and
Indiana.

W. P. Craig, of Philadelphia, was
booking orders in Buffalo last week, and
reported good business. The demand
for plants is increasing.

The Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines-
ville, O., had an eye to effect when
planting the fine stretch bordering the
railroad. Passing recently on the fast
mail, I observed practically everyone
in the car fairly drinking in the
glorious picture made in cannas, follow-
ing a long stretch of foliage of ever-
green and deciduous trees; the sudden
change can be imagined.

Manuel Oppenheim, store manager
for Dana R. Herron, Olean, N. Y., was
in Rochester during exposition week.
George B. Hart offered him a bouquet
of his finest asters, but Manuel would
not give it away; so it is presumed the
wedding will not take place just yet.

Leo E. Wagner, Sandusky, O., is sur-
prised that business has kept up so
well, considering the quantity of out-
door stock. It has been a remarkable
season for every kind of annual, bien-
nial and perennial.

Mrs. E, Suder, Toledo, O., views with
regret the passing of the annual con-
ventions of the S. A. F. from the east-
ern centers, being unable to make the
long train rides. One almost wonders
at this when one sees her around her
extensive plant, as nimble as ever, with
every prospect of a long continuance.
W. M.

North Wales, Pa.— More than 85,000
roses are being grown this year at the
Florex Gardens, under the management
of Henry C. Geiger. The rose house,
which is 172x750 feet, contains several
miles of benches.

W. T. U.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.
Business is fairly good, but the sup-

ply is still too large for the present
wants of the buyers. Shipping busi-
ness is good.

Boses continue to be in heavy sup-
ply, and include excellent offerings in
all seasonable varieties. Carnations
are of much better quality than they
were for a while, and generally meet
with an active market. Some ^ne
dahlias may be had. Easter lilies and
rubriun lilies are plentiful and excel-
lent. A fair quantity of gladioli are
coming into the wholesale houses.
Aster receipts are heavy. Other offer-
ings include cosmos and valley. The
supply of greens is large.

Various Notes.

Local retailers having fall opening
decorations during the current fort-
night are the E. G. -Hill Co.^ Max

dence. There are six greenhouses, each
20x120, and a lean-to 12x120.

Beno, Nev. — A florists' business was
recently launched in Reno by Charles
H. Stoddard, Lytton Stoddard and A. B.
Updike, under the firm name of the Stod-
dard Floral Co. A flower shop, in charge
of Henry Hefty, formerly with the Art

benches and in building living rooms
over the office. He was formerly at
Merrill, Wis.

Hanover, Pa. — The cyclone that did
damage of about $500,000 in this town
August 21 came at a most inoppor-
tune time for F. E. Cremer. He had
finished carnation planting the day of
the storm, and the loss of plants from
broken glass amounted to about forty
per cent. A tin roof, carried six squares
by the wind, was dropped on the glass.

Evanston, Wyo. — Louis B. West-
holder was married August 4 to Miss
Frances Martin, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Martin. Mr. Westholder
came to Evanston from Albany, Minn.,
two and one-half years ago, and opened
a flower shop. Since then his business
has grown by leaps and bounds, and
in addition to the original shop, he
now has stores at Rock Springs and
Laramie, and seven branch agencies

It requires extremely little practice to
be able to ring certain bull's-eyes.

This has been a bad season for Chry-
santhemum Golden Glow, large numbers
of flowers having been ruined by the
damp weather followed by excessive beat.

In spite of gloomy prognostications, it
appears that the season has been an ex-
cellent one for carnation plants in the
field. The country seems to be full of
surplus plants.

It looks as though the British plan for
passing Belgian plants may not be as
practical as it sounds. The opposition
to paying money into British banks
before a permit is issued seems general,
including the Germans, the Belgians and
the Americans, although it is certain some
stock will be moved under the arrange-
ment.

The premium list has been issued for
the twentieth annual flower show, of the
Morris County Gardeners' and Florists'
Society, to be held at Madison, N. J., Oc-
tober 28 and 29. The committee con-
sists of W, H. Duckham, C. H. Totty,
R. M. Schultz and Arthur Herrington.
For copies of the schedule write to Ed-
ward Reagan, Morristown, N. J.

Just to show what the cool climate of
Petoskey, Mich., does for asters, Frank
Winans, proprietor of the West Side
Greenhouses, sent The Review a box of
flowers that for size of bloom and bril-
liance of colors would be hard to beat.
There were, however, evidences that Mr.
Winans, like many other aster growers,
has had to contend with excessive rains
this season.

HONOKABLE 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.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

GOOD SEASON SX7SE.

In the middle west the arrival of the
second half of September has seen an
excellent revival of business and a
spirit of optimism prevails, in marked
contrast to the feeling that dominated
the trade a year ago. Business with
nearly all florists in the middle west is
today much better than it was a year
ago and the general idea is that it will
be first-rate this winter and break re^;-
ords when the big spring season comes
around again. Big crops and war or-
ders for the factories are, of course, the
two factors on which the business re-
vival is predicated, but even in the
south and southwest the same sanguine
view of the future is taken; the busy
factories are making work for the peo-
ple in the cities and the bountiful crops
are making prosperity for those in the
country. A fairly good season seems
assured and it may turn out an excep-
tionally good one.

'MANY THANKS.'

The thorough satisfaction the trade

is receiving through the use of classified

ads in The Review is shown by the

frequence with which "Many thanks"

is appended to instructions. Like this:

Many thanks for good reBults; 2.000 plants sold
from this ad. — M. L, Vogel, Dayton, C, Septem-
ber 10, 1015.

Mr. Vogel refers to an advertisement
of three lines, which appeared twice.
Snapdragons were offered at $2.50 per
hundred, so that he received orders ag-
gregating $50 from an advertisement
that cost him 60 cents.

PETUNIA BLUEJACKET.

The Review has received sample
blooms of John F. Rupp's new dark
blue petunia, Bluejacket, of which Mr.
Rupp says:

"This petunia we find to be the fin-
est bedding variety to date. It is a
good, strong grower and profuse bloom-
er; flowers of a pleasing dark blue and
during the day the color varies from
dark blue to a rich velvety violet, ap-
parently caused by atmospheric
changes. Our planting of this petunia
made a beautiful showing and was
much commented on by the many visi-
tors to Ruparka this season."

FIRST PEONY BULLETIN,

Prof. A. P. Saunders, Clinton, N, Y,,
has just issued the first bulletin of the
American Peony Society, in accordance
with the publicity program mapped out
at the Boston meeting last June. It

contains several articles by well known
peony growers, discussing the peony
from various points of view, reports of
the last two annual meetings and a list
of members. It is expected that this
initial bulletin will be followed by
others at frequent intervals and the
series should do much to spread knowl-
edge of what the society is doing.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.

1^, Weekly weather forecast, is-

n^ sued by the U. S. Weather
1^^^^ Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
1^^ the week beginning Wednes-
L day, September 22, 1915:

r"""-^ For the Region of nkhe Great
Lakes — Fair and cool weather
Ij the first half of the week, with

I ^ — ' probability of heavy frosts.

The latter half of the week
will be warmer and unsettled, with
probably occasional showers.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Fair weather and mod-
erate temperature the first half of the
week, although frosts are probable in
the upper Mississippi valley. The
weather will become warmer and un-
settled by the middle of the week,
with scattered showers. The latter
part of the week will be generally fair.

For the Ohio "Valley and Tennessee —
Fair and cool weather the first half of
the week, with probability of frosts in
exposed places in the Ohio valley. The
latter half of the week will be warmer
and cloudy, with a probability of local
showers.

For the West Gulf States — Generally
fair weather and moderate temperature
throughout the week.

OHICAOO.

Tbe Market,

With the return of cool weather, the
Chicago market is again beginning to
assume an appearance of activity. But
even the few days of summer heat with
which we were visited last week left
their brand on the stock, which, with
exceptions, is of quite inferior quality.

The drop in temperature was followed
by a decided decrease in the supply of
roses, with the result that they have
been clearing in a highly satisfactory
manner. A comparison would quite
likely reveal the fact that roses have
recovered from the effects of the heat
wave with a far greater degree of ra-
pidity than any other stock. Russell is
looking especially good for a flower
that has been plunged from one extreme
of temperature into another. Beauties
are still relatively scarce and are clear-
ing, though at moderate prices.

The supply of carnations is steadily
increasing, but the quality of much of
the stock has been injured by the heat.
As a consequence, there is a quantity
of short-stemmed soft flowers on the
market of a decidedly inferior grade.
Even so, there is a great deal of excel-
lent stock available, and this is cleared
almost on receipt. The demand for
first-class asters continues strong, and
the supply is not large, the later sorts
having suffered fully as much as the
early varieties by reason of the con-
tinued rains. The greater part of the
asters received this year have been un-
qualifiedly poor. Locally, the season is
practically over. Gladioli, though
abundant, have ceased to be a feature
of the market.

Golden Glow chrysanthemums are ar-
riving in an ever increasing stream.
Smith's Advance is not so plentiful.
There is much to be desired in the
matter of quality in the early yellow;
it has spotted badly and some growers
have lost large lots by its damping
off. Until there is a marked improve-
ment in quality it is quite doubtful if
the demand for them will assume satis-
factory proportions. There are few
dahlias on the market, but even the
few are more than enough to satisfy
the demand. The common charge
against the dahlia is that it bruises too
easily. Valley, though by no means
plentiful, is almost striking a balance
between supply and demand. Easter
lilies are moving fairly well. Eubrums
in good supply and excellent quality
are on the market, but they do not
meet with the demand they should.
Cattleyas continue scarce and have ad-
vanced in price.

Ferns are on the short side of the
market, owing to the difficulties attend-
ant on gathering them occasioned by
the extremely wet weather. Smilax is
in fair demand. A new crop of box-
wood is on the market. The quality is
good, but, so far, the demand is light.

Bassett & Washburn Get New Home.

The ^rm of Bassett & Washburn,
•wholesalers and growers, one of the
•oldest houses on the Chicago market,
has leased the store and basement at
178 North Wabash avenue, for a term
of •five and a half years, and will take
possession October 1. The location is
a most advantageous one, being on the
street floor and on the entrance hall
of the new Le Moyne building, which
already accommodates two other whole-
sale houses, the E. C. Amling Co. and
the A- L. Randall Co. The equipment
of tie new store will be up-to-date in
every detail. The main floor will be
devoted to the city sales department
and office, the basement being used for
the shipping trade. The space occu-
pied will be 4,500 square feet. Bassett
& Washburn have been in their present
location sixteen years.

CUcagoans Meet on the Boad.

Albert F. Amling, the well known
Maywood grower, who, with his family,
has been on a tour of the Pacific coast
in his car, writes to The Review from
Socorro, N. M., in part as follows:

"During our fifteen weeks' travel by
automobile across the continent, cover-
ing a little over 8,000 miles and touch-
ing thus far thirteen states, the first
party met, also out in an automobile,
whom we knew was Mr. and Mrs. O. P.
Bassett, of Chicago and Pasadena, who
were encountered about 160 miles west
of Albuquerque this morning. They
stopped us on the road, inquiring about
road conditions on the old Sante Fe
trail west. After reaching Sante Fe
we intend to leave this trail and go

across Texas and Oklahoma to Kansas
City. Roads are good around here, and
good time can be made. The only trou-
ble is that the towns where hotel accom-
modations can be had, are 100 miles
or so apart, with nothing in between,
not even for meals, so the autoists are
obliged to carry lunch with them."

ment of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. has
a most complete exhibit, including
every variety in its stock, of ferns,
crotons, pandanus, kentias, begonias,
araucarias, etc. The exhibit is taste-
fully arranged and has attracted no
end of comment. Not only the visiting
florists, but the people generally, be-
tray a keen interest in the varieties.
If the general public is not well in-
formed as to the newer varieties of
roses and carnations, it will not be the
fault of Peter Reinberg, who has a
really creditable display of his special-
ties, roses and carnations, staged by
Eelix Reichling and his assistants.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Ralph Hayden have
announced the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Frances Janette, and Howard
Gerald Knowlton, September 15, and
the many friends in the trade acquired
by Mr. Knowlton since he became asso-
ciated with the A. L. Randall Co. are
offering congratulations. Mr. and Mrs.
Knowlton will be at home after Octo-
ber 1, at 1529 East Sixty-eighth street.

The White truck of C. A. Samuelson
is on the street, resplendent in a new
coat of gold green. It never looked
better.

The daily sales of the E. C. Amling
Co. are reported as running thirty to
thirty-five per cent ahead of a year
ago and both Mr. Amling and Mr.
Michelsen say conditions in the trade
look to them to be as good as they
were ' ' before the war. ' '

Hoosier Beauty is a splendid rose, ac-
cording to John Mangel, who also likes
Hadley. He says the public takes to
both varieties, but that Milady has its
principal sale in work, being excellent
for wreaths.

Believing that nothing improves
one's outlook on business like a look into
it, Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi-
cago Flower Growers' Association, de-
voted September 17 to an automobile
tour of the near-by growers.

The wreck on the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad at Western
Springs, the night of September 20,
caused no little inconvenience to Bas-
aett & Washburn, who experienced

HOW TO MAKE STICKERS. #%

"What's wrong t" repeated the
old man, "do you want to know
'what is wrongt' "

"Yes, sir, if any one could ex-
plain to me why we can't get the
right kind of buyers to stick, I'd be
mightily obliged. Sometimes it
seems that the neighborhood is go-
ing down, then I hear of the rents
that are being paid hereabouts.
Well, anyway you can't get money
for flowers any more."

"Boy, the trade has been spoiled
by competition. When I started
there was no chance to compete.
There might be two or more Florists
to a town but they were so separated
that they could not interfere if they
chose, and would have no reason to
choose.

"Now," went on the old man,
"there are ten Florists in this town;
with telephones, street cars and
autos, they might as well be all in
the same block. Yes, we have to
compete now, I grant you, but it's
bad business to slash prices."

"We can't make people pay us
more money than they have to pay
at other stores," said the manager.

"Right, to a degree, but there js a
minimum, below which it is unwise
to cut. If a competitor cuts his
prices to that point where he can no
longer give good stock and at the
same time make a profit, then forget

him. He won't last long anyway.

"This House should sell stock of
quality only," said the old man.
' ' You may have to keep your prices
above some of your competitors, but
you will find that your customers
will stick, and you will get the bet-
ter class too." The manager was
silent.

The old man turned to the buyer.
"You're the man that has things in
his own hands," he said; "you can
make the one time man a sticker if
you buy xight. Get Kennicott's
Quality Cuts, they appeal to the
buyer of taste, who usually is the
one with the pocketbook.
"""Compete!" bellowed the boss,
heated to the question, "of course,
compete. Compete by giving service
and courteous treatment, as much as
you can of each; don't let any one
beat you at that. But keep your
prices high enough so that you can
sell the right kind of stock. You
can always be sure of getting the
right kind of stock if you order from
Kennicott's.

"The House of Quality Plus al-
ways has an assortment of Quality
Cut flowers that no other house on
the market is able to better. Any-
thing on the Chicagx) market can be
bought right from Kennicott Bros.

great difficulty in getting their supply
of cut flowers from Greggs Station and
Hinsdale the day following. A. C. Ben-
son, superintendent of the greenhouses,
went to Springfield September 20 to
look after the firm's exhibit at the
state fair.

Believing that what he characterizes
as the distinctive type roses are going
to raise the standard, not only of qual-
ity but of prices as well, in the rose
market of the future, John Risch, of
Weiland & Risch, says they are devot-
ing no small amount of space in their
Evanston greenhouses to the culture of
the Mrs. Moorfield Storey rose.

all crops of orchids late this season.
The call for cattleyas in the last two
months has not been so heavy as usual,
but it has nevertheless exceeded the
supply.

A novel advertising method has been
adopted by the Warren Parle Floral Co.,
to introduce its greenhouses at 1401
South Austin boulevard and retail store
at 5937 West Twelfth street. Sheet
music is being distributed, on the front
of which there is a picture of the
greenhouses, three of them 27x250.
John Grant, western manager for the
New Haven Clock Co., is the head of
the company, but William Scott, for
several years a grower for Bassett &
Washburn, is the active manager.

There is nothing like having an ob-

jective and working toward it. Ap-
preciating the immense value of a
large and well established shipping
trade, the John Kruchten Co. has been
conducting a systematic campaign to
secure it. According to C. L. Sherer,
secretary, the campaign has thus far
been rich in results.

A heavy run of funeral work is re-
ported by Arthur Weatherwax, proprie-
tor of the Drexel Flower Shop, 428 East
Forty-seventh street. Mr. Weatherwax
has been favored with good business
since his opening, September 4.

After a severe illness and a sojourn
in the hospital, James Murphy, 4248
West Madison street, is convalescing in
a satisfactory manner.

The finishing touch to the remodel-

ing, rebuilding and rearranging that
has been in process for the last month
in the establishment of the Kennicott
Bros. Co. is in the form of a large
brass sign at the entrance.

The state fair flower show called
John Poehlmann, Jr., and Fred
Longren, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
to Springfield, September 20.

Heavy funeral work during the last
two weeks has occupied all the atten-
tion of Thomas J. Johnson, 3458 State
street.

The county fair of the South Shore
Country Club is keeping Christian
Clemenson, 7801 South Shore avenue,
more than busy this week.

The pleasant quarters of Archie
Spencer have been temporarily resigned
to the ministering care of the man with
the brush.

Eight thousand miles were covered
by George Asmus and wife on their re-
cent trip to the S. A. F. convention.
Mr. Asmus plans an early trip to Phila-
delphia on National Flower Show mat-
ters.

A complete rearrangement of fixtures
seems to be the order of the day in
the salesrooms of Joseph Ziska & Sons.

the fall business, according to Fred
Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros., who inspect-
ed the greenhouses of the company in
Des Plainea, September 19.

The fair at Holland, Mich., last week
was attended by David D. P. Eoy. Mr.
Roy says the horticultural building for
the occasion was the donation of G. F.
Getz, president of the Globe Coal Co.,
who is growing stock on his Lakewood
farm for exhibition in the Chicago
Grand Floral Festival, next November.

After enjoying a pleasant trip to
New York city and other points of in-
terest in the east, David Hammer, 2014
West Diversey boulevard, has settled
down to hard work in anticipation of
a heavy fall trade.

Visitors.

One of those visiting friends and re-

son of Charles Sherwood, Waterloo, la.

Among the visitors on the market this
week was Ernest Bather, of Lyons, la.

S. W, Pike, of St. Charles, 111., was
in town September 20. He never fails
to call on Erne & Klingel when he
visits Chicago.

Peripatetic Walter Mott, whose home
town now is Schenectady and his busi-

town last week in the interest of Benj.

The Chicago trade was visited this

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The quality of the cut stock coming
to this market is beginning to show
the effects of the extremely warm
weather of the last week or two.
Fashion show week and the opening of
the store of the Lindner Co. created a
brisk demand for decorative stock and
fancy cut flowers.

Club Meeting.

The annual election of officers of the
Cleveland Florists' Club resulted in the
following: President, Herbert Bate;
first vice-president, Al. Lingren; second
vice-president, Claude Tyler; secretary,
Frank A. Friedley; treasurer, Geo. W.

Smith. It was one of the largest at-
tended meetings this year. Several pri-
vate gardeners were elected to member-
ship. Among them are Eobert Weeks,
Felix Celmer, V. J. (Lawton, Wm.
Fisher, H. G. King, J. Curnow, Henry
Kolthoff, Peter Celmer, Walter Dale
and H. B. Eapley. It makes a welcome
addition to our membership, which now
numbers nearly 150.

Flower Show Notes.

One of the most attractive prizes of
the entire list for the flower show was
received last week from J. W. Corrigan,
of Wickliffe, O. It is a silver cup, val-
ued at $500, to be competed for by pri-
vate growers of Ohio only. The cup
will be awarded to the best six varie-

ties, six blooms each, of chrysanthe-
mums. The cup must be won three
times at a Cleveland flower show to be-
come the permanent property of the
winner.

A bowling tournament will be held
during flower show week. A commit-
tee, with Charles Graham as chairman,
was appointed at the Florists' Club's
last meeting. At least eight cities are
expected to be represented by 5-men
teams. Liberal prizes will be offered
to both teams and individuals.

Cleveland will enter a team in the
tournament, and a preliminary tourna-
ment will be held to see who will bowl
on the final team. A series of nine
games will be rolled. All niembers of
the Florists' Club are eligible; The five

men averaging the highest scores in
the nine games will make up the team
to represent Cleveland. As there are at
least a dozen good bowlers in the club
and all are anxious to get on the teara^
a spirited contest is looked for.

Various Notes,

Frank Eitzenthaler, of Knoble Bros.,
is on the sick list.

George W. Smith, of the Cleveland
Florists' Exchange, has returned from
the west. He, with Mrs. Smith,
stopped at Colorado on the return trip
from the convention.

The new store of the Jones-Kussell
Co. is nearing completion. This com-
pany, together with MacDiarmid, the
candy man, will open a neyr store in
the Hippodrome building.

The final premium list of the flower
show is now bein§ mailed. Copies may
be had by applying to Herbert Bate,
Room 356, Leader building. This list
is complete and carries many new and
special classes not included in the pre-
liminary list.

Cut Flower Co., went to Duluth via

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market,

The hot weather last week had a de-
pressing influence on business. Grow-
ers complained that many flowers were
spoiled by the sudden change in the
weather. The heat made it hard to
keep a good supply of flowers in the
stores, and compelled buyers to be more
careful.

Last week carnations were much
more in evidence. The blooms coming
into the market, however, are generally
of a poor quality and sell at from 50
to 60 cents per dozen. While some
excellent dahlias arrived last week, the
dahlia market this year, as a whole,
has been poor. The quality of dahlias
has not averaged high, and the prices
have been low. Asters are still hold-
ing their own, and large quantities are
being disposed of, but the prices are
low. Many gladioli are seen, but not
in the numbers they have been. The
quality is deteriorating. Some good
Easter lilies are coming into the mar-
ket, and valley is keeping up well.
Roses are fair in quality for this time
of the year, and are arriving in suf-
ficient quantities to supply the trade.
Chrysanthemums are beginning to ap-
pear on the market. There have been
a few Goltlen Glows for several weeks,
but now other varieties are beginning
to appear. They are not plentiful, how-
ever, and are not of good quality.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Wolfinger
have returned from their visit to the
Panama-Pacific exposition, at San Fran-
cisco. Mr. Wolfinger says business is
good, there being much funeral and
wedding work. The summer business,
taken as a whole, exceeds that of last
summer.

Mr. and Mrs. John Crossley have re-
turned from their vacation, which they
spent at Atlantic Highlands, on the
New Jersey coast. Business is reported
quiet, outside of funeral work, of which
■ tbtVB has been much.

Charles WitherldgW states that busi-
ness is quiet. He has had some fu-
neral orders.

The Profit From
Withered Flowers

The withered flower problem has always been a
loss to you— hasn't it? You never heard of it from
a profit stand point before.

The profit that is possible from withered flowers
is to sell the flowers before they spoil and are
thrown out. This is easily done through their proper
preservation in a

McCray Florist s
Refrigerator

Here the flowers are preserved at an even temperature and are
kept fresh and cool. No other refrigerating system is so efficient
as the McCray. It stops the loss from spoilage so common with
inadequate refrigeration.

In addition the McCray, with its beautiful plate glass doors
and sides permits an inviting and attractive display of the flowers.
The compartments are of different sizes to accommodate the various
lengths of stems.

The outside woodwork may be had in any finish to match
your store's interior. The linings may be secured in either plate
mirror or white enamel and are very attractive.

Make up your mind right now to increase your business and
decide upon a McCray Refrigerator to help you do it. Every
enterprising Florist needs a McCray. Write and learn why.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Last week was not much different
from the week previous and there was
little change in market conditions. The
weather was quite bad, as there was
an overabundance of rain. The fall
season has not as yet made itself felt
and the summer depression, which was
late in arriving, shows the same re-
luctance in departing. The demand for
stock is light and funeral work con-
stitutes the bulk of business. Carna-
tions are coming in more plentifully
each day and the stock is moving eas-
Uy at fairly good prices. It can be
seen that asters are a poor substitute
for cariiationa, for the sale of asters
begins to fall off as soon as carnations
make their appearance.

Boses are in fairly good shape and
are increasing in quantity. They are
being cleaned up daily, but prices are
not any too good. Gladioli are gradu-
ally getting scarcer and they will not
last much longer. The quality is poor
and they are not moving rapidly. Val-
ley is scarce and is being sold as soon
as it comes into the market. Lilies are
moving slowly and are in abundant
supply. Taken as a whole, the week
shows up poorly, but if we should get
a frost it would help conditions won-

The Market.

There is a slight improvement from
the depressing conditions of one week
ago. The aster crop has suffered from
the heat and rain and overabundance
past remedying. Now asters are on
the wane. Those that are coming into
town sell a little better, when good, but
most of them are of the last-end-of-the-
crop variety and not desirable in these
critical days. Gladioli, too, are fast
disappearing. This leaves a great field
for the dahlia. With the cooler weather
this grand fall flower is coming into
form. Every variety and shade of color
is offered in quantity, but the demand
comes slowly.

Boses are quite plentiful. Many of
them show the effect of the heat, but
some are wonderfully good for the sea-
son. There are quite a few novelties
and rather more of those that were
novelties last season. Carnations are
getting better and the flowers are ex-
cellent, but most of the stems still are
rather short. Valley is plentiful. So
are orchids. The arrival of Cattleya
labiata is coincident with a fall in
price. Oncidiums, dendrobiums and
Vanda casrulea complete the list. Yel-
low, and a few white, chrysanthemums
continue to arrive. Asparagus, adian-
tum and smilax abound. Wild smilax
has come.

the nursery easily. Invitations have
been mailed to the trade and the public.
There is a special feature of unusual
interest .l regard to this show. Last
season boxes of flowers were given
away to all visitors. This courtesy was
abused, so this season a different plan
has been adopted. The house of Dreer
will give its dahlias and other flowers
without reserve, but it will give thorn
cnly to a committee, of which Mrs.
James Starr, Jr., is chairman, repre-
senting the Martha Washington Memo-
rial at Valley Forge, which has ap-
pointed seventy patronesses and sev-
enty aids to sell the flowers. There
will be marquees where visitors may
rest after seeing the fields of bloom,
where they may make their selections
of flowers and be refreshed with tea.
Every arrangement is complete and
good weather will insure a large attend-
ance.

opened in the store of the Henry F.

and ei.TU ^specially so. There were
Augti<>t-c?vV/u peas and new peppers and
all tlte vegetables were arranged in a
way that was most inviting. The dah-
lias were well staged, excellent in va-
riety and showed good culture. They
were supported by some exeellant per-
ennials, buddleias, j^hlox and many
other intert^sting things. The show at-
tracted many visitors.

Tbe Market.

Business was good last week. All
cut flowers were cleaned up as fast as
they arrived at the wholesale houses.
Even pot plants and fancy baskets had
.1 good run, and decorations have start-
ed up almost at full pace, although fu-
neral work is the leader. The rose sup-
ply was the same as it was last week,
but the demand was heavier. Carna-
tions are of better quality, with an in-
creasing supply. Asters are falling off
fast; the heavy rains have ruined them.
Gladioli will last about one week
longer. Dahlias are fine and plentiful,
but there is only a light call for them.

Various Notes.

August Luther, Jr., has a baby boy,
which arrived August 31. He reports
business good for the whole summer.
He was much surprised at the number
of pot plants he sold.

J. B. Masson reports business the
best he has ever had. His greenhouses
are all in good condition. He grows
mostly carnations, roses and mums.
He has a bench of Kaiserin roses that
are exceptionally fine.

The Alpha, Floral Go. states that the
heavy rains " .throughout the country
have been a heavy detriment to his
shipping business in the last two weeks.

It helps every florist some;
but it helps the National
Florists most

NONE of us can do much alone.
The big things in any busi-
ness are accomplished by getting
others to do the things we can't do.

The still bigger things are accom-
plished by organizing business; so
still bigger things can. be done.

That is exactly what the National
Florist movement is.

It's an organizing of the florists of
the country to broaden business. It's
an organized, systematized movement
to increase the use of flowers.

It is a movement to develop that
tremendous opportunity — flowers
by mail.

It will help every florist whether
he is a member or not; but it will
help the members most.

Are you, or are you not, going to

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Tlie Market.

A number of weddings last week
caused a slight business activity,) and
the fall exhibition of the Bhode Island
Horticultural Society brought about a
larger demand for cut flowers. It is
expected that the fall season will open
briskly about October 1, as a number
of society weddings are announced for
the early fall. Chrysanthemums are
arriving in large quantities.

Horticultural Society Exhibition.

The annual fall exhibition of the
Bhode Island Horticultural Society was
held at the Narragansett hotel, Septem-
ber 16 and 17. While the show was not
up to its usual standard in number of
entries, the quality of the exhibits was
satisfactory. Dahlias, asters and gla-
dioli were the principal features of the
flower show.

The display of gladioli was far supe-
rior to anything ever seen in this city.
A large exhibit was entered by Car-
michael Bros., of Shannock, and A. P.
Lensen. The dahlias constituted the
larger part of the exhibition. The as-
ters fell behind, the exceedingly hot
weather causing them to droop. The
judges were William Gray, of Newport,
and Henry C. Neubrand, of Cromwell,
Conn.

Various Notes.

The flower exhibition at the King-
ston fair was the best ever held. This
was due largely to the magnificent
showing of gladioli by Carmichael
Bros., of Shannock, which was said to
excel any showing made during the
forty-one years the fair has been held.
Another factor contributing to the suc-
cess of this department was the exhibi-
tion of dahliEis, by George L. Stillman,
of Westerly.

Among the larger exhibitors at the
Greystone Horticultural Society were
.1. Lewis Childs, Inc., Flowerfield, N.
Y.; Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia,
and D. Black mar.

The Market.

Although the intense heat of last
week greatly affected the flowers, busi-
ness has been good. Cooler and cloudy
weather came as a big boon to the
florists. The stock has been large and
consignments heavy and, needless to
say, it has not cleared well. Roses,
unless sold immediately on arrival,
opened up wide and were practically
useless. They are plentiful in all grades
and colors. Asters are plentiful in all
colors, but there are thousands more
than business calls for. Carnations are
becoming plentiful and at present are
quite small, but fragrant. There are
few sweet peas seen. Lilied of the
valley are plentiful, but they are not
in first-class shape. Easter lilies are
good, but there appears to be no special
rail for them. There are a few callas
on the market. Gladioli are over-
abundant. Golden Glow chrysanthe-
mums are arriving fast and sell easily.
General stock includes larkspur, mari-
golds, cornflowers, rubrums, dahlias,
coreopsis, daisies, zinnias and poppies,
all of which sell well. There are plenty
of greens on the market.

Various Notes.

Arthur W. Elder has returned from
a successful business trip through the
eastern part of Pennsylvania and New
York states. Harry E. Bates has re-
turned from Cleveland, where he at-
tended the vegetable growers' conven-
tion.

state fair, at Syracuse, N. Y., Septem-
ber 13 to 18.

Visitors to the trade last week in-
cluded W. A. Smith, of Wm. J.

Tuesday, September 21, Herbert B.
Stringer, secretary of the Rochester
Florists' Association, was married at
Toronto.

An artificial lake surrounded by
rocks, ferns, etc., was seen in the dis-
play window of J. B. Keller Sons last
week. Several aquatic plants and
beautiful cut blooms of water lilies
were used. A mammoth vase of Golden
Glows served as a background.

New electric lights have been placed
in the window of the Rochester Floral
Co. They are a vast improvement.

The (Lord & Burnham Co. reports
contracts closed with the following:
Frederick Henkes, of Henkes & Henkes,
Watervliet, N. Y., one large green-
house; William Murdock, of Titusville,
Pa., a curved truss house, 30x100, and
one house for Mrs. Hoxieclark, Belvi-

Charles Gow, of the Wilson store, has
returned from his two weeks' vacation,
spent at Toronto.

The New Flower Shop, of which L.
Goranson is manager, has had good busi-
ness and a fair amount of funeral work.

The Aster Flower Store is displaying
some good mums and gladioli. The
display also shows some wedding bou-
quets made of artificial valley and
roses.

Extensive alterations are being made
at the H. E. Wilson store, at 88 East
Main street. In place of the two small
windows, a large one is being installed,
with the store entrance at the side.
New lighting fixtures in conjunction
with latticework are to be installed.

The Market.

The excessively warm spell which
started two weeks ago was with us last
week, and its effects could be seen on
all sides. Business, which was starting
briskly, dropped with a thud. The
quality of the stock coming in is con-
spicuous by its absence. Koses, which
were starting off well, have deteriorated
to practically midsummer size. The
buds are short, considerably bleached
and off color, and they open almost
while one watches. Carnations are
meeting with about the same experience
as the roses. Asters have almost dis-
appeared. Dahlias, while coming in
heavily, are unsatisfactory and wilt
and fall to pieces before they can be
unpacked. Only a few mums are com-
ing in and are being sold. There has
been little business and plenty of stock,
but a scarcity of really good stock in
any quantity. Prices have dropped
accordingly.

Various Notes.

The ninth annual dahlia show of the
E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. will be held
at the farm, at White Marsh, Md., from
September 28 to October 2. September
29 will be known as Florists' day, when
memlfers of the Florists' and Gardeners'
Club will attend the exhibition. Many
out-of-town members of the trade will
be there on that day. A special train
will leave on the B. & O. railroad from
Camden station, at 12:30 p. m. each day
of the show. Trains will leave Cowen-
ton at 5:50 p. m, for the return trip.
This is in addition to the regular pas-
senger service. The trains wU stop at
Mt. Eoyal and Gay street stations.
Busses will meet all trains at the desti-
nation to convey passengers to the
show.

Michael Hilpert lost a pair of fine
horses through an accident last week.
When the team was turning out of the
driveway leading from his place to
Belair road a car traveling at a high
rate of speed struck the horses. The
driver escaped without injury. The
back of one of the animals was broken
and the other one was badly injured.

The Market.

Nothing like the utter demoralization
which overwhelmed the cut flower busi-
ness during the week ending September
18 has been experienced for a long time.
The severe heat wave, with maximum
shade temperatures of 94 and 95 de-
grees for several successive days,
simply put the lid down on trade and
such flowers as were sold made absurdly
low prices, large quantities finding a
speedy exit via the rubbish barrels.
While all flowers suffered, roses ar^d
carnations were hit the hardest. Roses
could hardly be moved at any price.
One grower felt lucky at cleaning up a
day's receipts at an average of 25 cents
per hundred, for prices ran as low as
$1 per thousand, and even at that figure
many could not be moved. The heat
brought in great numbers of carna-
tions, which were sold with diflBculty
at low prices. The intense heat
seriously scorched asters, gladioli,
dahlias and other outdoor flowers and
the week will long remain one of un-
pleasant memory.

With a return to cooler weather, con-
ditions have improved. There is still,

Twenty- five years catering to the retail trade.

however, an oversupply of roses and
carnations. Bed carnations are par-
ticularly hard to move. Chrys-
anthemum Golden Olow was in many
cases ruined by the heat, and flowers
arriving are not particularly good.
Asters are on the wane, but are still
ample for all needs. Gladioli grow
small in numbers and the quality is in-
ferior. Valley, which had a hard time
a week ago, moves better. Orchids are
not selling at all well. Yellow oncid-
iums can hardly be sold at all. There
is a considerable assortment of an-
nuals and perennials, sales of which are
uncertain.

Various Notes.

Thomas Boland shipped some nice
pink ericas to his salesman at the
wholesale flower market September 21,
the first of the season. He will soon
have a fine lot of Erica melanthera in
flower. He has a fine house of crotons,
six houses of cyclamens and several
houses of begonias, chiefly Glory of
Cincinnati. One house is devoted to
Otaheite oranges. A nice lot of Chrys-
anthemum Golden Glow is being cut at
present.

R. E. Wadsworth & Co., of Westboro,
is starting to ship carnations. He has
several novelties, including Good Cheer,
Akehurst, Pink Sensation, which is al-
ready giving some fine flowers, and
Alice. Chrysanthemums and mignon-
ette are two other important crops with
this firm.

At the Wakefield and Reading fair,
held September 15 to 18, S. E. Spencer,
of Woburn, had a fine display of
gladioli. Among the exhibits of Mrs.
L. M. Towle I was particularly taken
with two tubs of the old Scarborough
lily, or Vallota purpurea, carrying over
thirty spikes each. D. Finlayson, W. N.
Craig and E. B. Wilder judged the cut
flowers and grange exhibits. For the
best grange display $630 was oflfered,
and the displays were splendid.

largest importers of azaleas, does not
expect to receive any plants this season.
He says he lost about $5,000 on them
last season and will not pay several
thousand dollars into any European
bank for stock now, preferring to sell
other plants, of which he has a fine
assortment.

The annual vegetable and fruit show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety will be held October 2 and 3.

W. H. "Ward, of Montvale, is send-
ing in fine Benora carnations; also,
Alice, Beacon, Eosette, Pink Delight,
White Wonder and Matchless. Aspar-
agus Sprengeri and plumosus are each
well grown also.

Among our visitors last week was
David Smith, of Thomas Smith & Sons,
Stranraer, Scotland. Mr. Smith made
his present trip via Montreal and it
proved a quick and unexciting passage.
He is nearing the three score and ten
mark, but is wonderfully active. He
finds a good market here for hardy
roses.

Chester Paine, of Paine Bros., Ran-
dolph, was looking happy and passing
cigars to his fellow salesmen at the
Flower Exchange September 11. It is
a boy this time. Mr. Paine has received
the greater part of his Dutch bulbs and
many are in the soil, but some of the
French bulbs have not yet arrived.

Boston will long remember the week
ending September 18. The heat wave
accompanied by excessive humidity
caused many deaths locally and par-
alyzed the cut flower trade. The lack
of heat in July and August is usually
followed by a hot September and we
may still anticipate some more hot days
before the month ends. It still further
hurt business to have the Jewish fast
day, Yom Kippur, fall September 17
and 18. This closed some of the lead-
ing flower stores, which can usually be
depended upon to sell a lot of stock.

The Market.

The market last week was crowded
with stock, and retailers bought spar-
ingly. The hot .weather had a bad ef-
fect on trade throughout the city.
Stock from outside points arrived in
poor condition. The wholesalers are
complaining of the poor demand and
the low prices. An abundance of roses
in all varieties came in last week, the
best sellers being Bussell, Hadley and
Ophelia. The Killarneys and Bich-
mond, unless extra fancy, had little de-
mand. Beauties, too, ran low in de-
mand and price. The supply of carna-
tions far exceeds the demand. Fancy
varieties in these are scarce. Beacon
and Enchantress are the best carnations
being received. White and yellow
mums are ignored by buyers, as it is
too early for them. There still are
plenty of asters and dahlias coming in
daily. Gladioli and tuberoses are about
over for this year. Cosmos is expected
to come in heavily this week. Lilies
and valley have the usual good call.

Various Notes.

Paddy Patton, Walter Young, Fred
H. Weber, James Arata, W. S. Wells
and William Ossick are attending the
Illinois state fair, at Springfield, this
week.

Arthur Schwerin, secretary of the
Burlington Willow Wa^e Shops, Bur-
lington, la., and Frank Farney, repre-
senting the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia,
were here last week and displayed sam-
pl es at the Jefferson hotel.

(lid good work in laying out 177 acres
of land as a golf course for the Sunset
Hill Golf Club. Experts say it ia the
most picturesque and most scientifically
laid golf course in America.

John Steidle, of Olivette; Werner
Bros., of Clayton, and W. J. Pilcher, of
Kirkwood, aro cutting excellent roses
in all the leading varieties for this mar-
ket.

The Betail Florists' Association held
a well attended meeting September 20,
at the Mission Inn garden. All officers
were present and much important busi-
ness was transacted.

The St. Louis Seed Co. and the
Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. are keeping
their forces busy preparing for a good
fall season in seeds and bulbs.

Alexander Johnson, the Wellston flo-
rist, says that although he has not add-
ed any new glass to his 20,000 feet of
glass, he has everything in readiness
for the fall and winter season. His
retail store is an attractive place.

Ernest Strehle, superintendent of the
park department; John Moritz, head of
the greenhouses, and Julius Koenig,
head of the sidewalk and park trees,
have accomplished much this year, ac-
cording to the visiting park superin-
tendents, who said that the parks and
trees of St. 'Louis easily compared with
the best in the country.

Albert Steinberger, landscape gar-
dener, at 3434 Gravois avenue, was
badly injured last week when a street
car struck the automobile in which he
was riding. He was taken to St. An-
thony's hospital, where he is at pres-
ent in a serious condition.

A. Jablonsky and John Steidle, of
Olivette, are picking excellent carna-
tion blooms, which are consigned to
H. G. Berning.

The wife of Chas. Schoelting, a nurs-
eryman at 4930 Columbia avenue, died
while celebrating Mr. Schoelting 's
sixty-sixth birthday, September 14.

E. T. Barnes, of the Cooperate Show
Gardens, gave an hour's talk on the
culture and care of dahlias and gladi-
oli, September 15 and 16, at the floral
department of the Grand Leader store.
The attendance on both days was large,
the fair sex being in majority.

Sunday, September 12. The trip to
the grounds, in St. Louis county, vpas
made in automobiles. All had a pleas-
ant time until evening, when John
Bentzen was saved from drowning by
Frank Windier, while they were bath-
ing. Mr. Bentzen had gone down for
the second time when Mr. Windier
made a leap for him and saved him.

The Lord & Burnham Co. has fifteen
men working overtime to finish the $75,-
000 conservatory for the Missouri
Botanical Garden, which, according to
the contract, must be completed Octo-
ber 1. W. W. Ohlweiler says that the
chrysanthemum show to be held in thei
new conservatory in November will be
the finest ever held at the garden.
Other flower shows will be held dur-
ing the winter months.

The officers of the St. Louis Florists '
Club spent a pleasant evening at the
home of President Jules Bourdet, Sep-
tember 16. This meeting was called in
order to draw plans for the coming
meetings of the club. Some valuable
suggestions were made as to how to
make the meetings interesting. It was
decided to hold a meeting of the offi-
cers prior to the monthly meeting of
the club. J. J. B.

The Market.

Despite the intense heat last week,
business showed a slight improvement.
There was a better movement of flow-
ers of all kinds, although not half of
the stock that is received finds a sale.
Roses showed the effects of the terrific
heat, and of these the retailers bought
only in sufficient quantities to meet
immediate needs. Valley moved more
freely. Carnations are improving in
quality, but dahlias are not up to stand-
ard. There are still some gladioli to be
had. Asters are practically out of this
market. Tritomas and tuberoses are
to be had, but are not in de-
mand. The call for Easter lilies is
slackening; the supply is not as large
as it was some time ago. They con-
tinue to bring $6 and $8 per hundred.
Some exceptionally fine Golden Glow
chrysanthemums are being offered.
Northern-grown American Beauty roses
are being received in fine shape.

Various Notes.
Alvin Burrows, 20 years of age, an
employee at the greenhouses of Fred

fate. These two, with Clifton J.
Smith, a brother of Mrs. Beatrice Moss,
who irf employed at the Kramer store,
on F street, were swimming in the east-
ern branch, near the Anacostia bridge,
when Burrows was seized with cramps
and went down. Padgett started to his
rescue, and Burrows held him in a grip
which nearly proved fatal. Smith
broke the hold and conveyed Padgett
to the wall. He then endeavored to
save Burrows, diving six times in an
effort to locate his body. The dark-
ness prevented a rescue, and the body
was found an hour later some distance
from the scene of the accident.

Among tho visitors last week were
Paul F. Butz, of New Castle, Pa.; I.
Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, and Henry
Bomhoft, of Lincoln, 111.

Richard Vincent, Jr., and Thomas A.
Vincent, of White Marsh, Md., and
Prof. Bert W. Anspon, of College Park,
Md., motored to Washington last week.
After being joined by George H. Cooke,
the party left for a day's tour of the
surrounding country, visiting many of
the Maryland ranges.

A number of the downtown florists
are planning to decorate their establish-
ments next week during the fiftieth an-
nual encampment of the G. A. R. The
Retail Merchants* Association offers
three silver cups to be presented to the
firms having the best window displays.
The week has also been designated fall
styles week, and it is expected that
the city will be filled with people from
the nearby cities and towns. William
F. Gude is chairman of the citizens'
committee, which is making all arrange-
ments. George H. Cooke, president of
the Florists' Club; Fred H. Kramer
and others of the trade are members
of the various committees working un-
der the central committee.

The store of Leapley & Meyer, on Q
street, northwest, has been redecorated
and repainted. The exterior has been
done in brown, while several shades of
green have been used on the interior.

The Market.

Business has been quite brisk, consider-
ing the fact that we are still having, or
more correctly, just having, our summer
weather. There has been considerable
funeral work, much replenishing of fern
dishes, and many fern and palm sales,
as is usual in fall.

Carnations are getting better aa the
season advances, while the quality of
asters has fallen. Some really fine
blooms were available several weeks

Send us your retail orders. We
have the best facilities in the city

ago, but now only small, inferior flowers
are to be had. Dahlias this year have
been inferior in quality to those of
previous years. They have been weak
in the neck and do not keep. This, no
doubt, is due to the heavy rains we
have had all season.

Various Notes.

Thos. Browne 's new 600-foot house, at
Greenfield, is practically completed, all
but the heating system being finished.
The house is planted to carnations.

Henry Bahaley, of the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange, is contemplating a
trip to New York in the near future.

A quite successful meeting of the
Detroit Florists* Club was held Tues-
day evening, September 14, and many
members showed their ability as bowl-

AXZRIOAN SEED TBAOE ASBOOIATIOH.
PrealdeDt. John M. Lupton, Mattltnck, L. I.;
■ecretary-TreaBurer. O. E. Kendel, CleTeland. O.

Thh death of J. E. Wing, of Mechan-
icsburg, O., is reported in this week's
obituary column.

Through the St. Louis port of entry
the St. Louis Seed Co. recently received
104 cases of Dutch bulbs and 135 cases
of French bulbs.

There were three cases of bulbs on the
boat from Bermuda that reached New
York September 16, The arrivals to date
are only 833 cases.

IsAAO S. Hendrickson estimates the
acreage of gladioli in the United States
at from 400 to 500, with the bulb crop
running 14,000,000 to 15,000,000.

E. S. Thompson states that the Central
Seed & Bulb Co., Benton Harbor, Mich.,
has removed to 78 and 80 West Main
street, where the retail business will be
continued and the wholesale department
afforded opportunity for development.

The country is full of giganteum lily
bulbs of the 1914 crop in cold storage
and the holders are in a quandary as to
how best to meet the situation caused by
the considerable surplus over what is
needed to take care of standing orders.

EoBERT H. Black, of Albert Lea,
Minn., believes that exhibitions at state
fairs are a profitable form of publicity.
He had a successful exhibit at the Great
North Iowa fair, at Mason City, la.,
and was represented at Des Moines,
la., by a large display of gladioli. He
also participated in the recent Minne-
apolis fair.

The U, S. Weather Bureau in coopera-
tion with the Bureau of Crop Estimates
has sent out a warning that "owing to
the general backward state of this year 's
com crop in many of the northern but
important growing sections of the belt,
there is danger of injury to the crop by
killing frost, the occurrence of which
may be expected at any time. It is
therefore important that every effort pos-
sible be made to secure good seed for
next year's crop. Where any last year's
com is left it should be gone over and
the best ears saved. Moreover, ^s corn
mafures unevenly, it is possible to secure
seed from the early ears before the rest
of the crop is matured."

era turned over their calla and freesia
bulbs to the Mittings to be sold, but
are said to have received practically
nothing in payment.

The Santa Cruz News of September
13 said:

"E. Deroo Mitting, late proprietor of
the much-embarrassed Santa Cruz Bulb
& Plant Co., is in jail, charged with the
embezzlement of $128 entrusted to his
care by W. T, Huff.

"Mitting was caught in San Fran-
cisco by Constable Frank Dille yester-
day afternoon and brought to Santa
Cruz at noon today. The charge against
young Mitting is a felony and a ver-
dict of guilty in such a case means a
term in state's prison,

"Mr. Huff, who raises bulbs near
Del Mar, alleges that Mitting, as agent
in the pale of his (Huff's) bulbs, re-
fused to pay up after he had sold the
bulbs."

FBENCH SEEDSMEN IMPRISONED.

An account of the arrest of certain
French seed growers is given in the Lon-
don Daily Chronicle, as follows:

"A certain section of the business
community of Saint Eemy, in Provence,
has distinguished itself in unenviable
fashion by trading with the enemy.
Nine citizens are under arrest, includ-
ing the vice-president of the Aries
Chamber of Commerce, and another
prominent tradesman who was born a
German and only became naturalized
shortly before the war. In ordinary
times the Provencal Saint Remy is Ger-
many's chief center in France for the
purchase of market garden seeds. The
town exported annually forty-one tons
to Germany and four to Switzerland.
The Ideal trade was in the hands of
fifteen wholesale merchants who, in
spite of the war, appear to have bought
up the whole of this year's production
as usual. Police investigations now
show that . forty-five tons went to
Switzerland. Papers seized prove that
the vendors were actually in communi-
cation with their regular German
customers, who had arranged to have
agents in Switzerland to take delivery
of the merchandise. The Saint Remy
merchants say they believed they were
within the law in sending goods to a

Woman versus
Mystery

(Continued from last week.)

No, I haven't met the fat sociable
man yet. My world just now is too
serious a world to think of anvthing
but my life's aim, SUCCESS. Ves, I
want to go forward, and we must be
willing to work hard to reach our goals.
I don't want to be a drifter on life's
waves.

We must do something worth while,
to pay the debt we owe the World. The
World owes us a living ONLY after we
have given full value in advance to
the World.

I hear many opinions expressed of
me. Sometimes I think over the re-
marks, and at times I do not. A few of
the opinions are: My, she's a smart
Girl, she's a hustler, she's a wonder,
she can't be beat, and different expres-
sions; but in all simplicity and hon-
esty, I am willing to say I am not, and,
even if I have an unusual mentality, I
am humble enough to say I am working
for a living, even though it is building
up and operating a good-sized business;
it is work and some play.

I know how and where to secure the
best grade of Merchandise I deal in
and I can usually sfeU where the goods
are wanted, and transact a fair deal,
but I am not smart enough to concoct
a "tricky deal."

But as long as I can deliver both
quality and price right, I won't worry
about stacking the cards in crooked
deals. And I don't look good to the
fat man, so far.

YOUR OWN SNAPDRAGON

seedlings can be grown at small cost. Allow 76 days to have them ready to bench. By
growing your own plants you not only save mucD expense but have them at hand, undis-
turbed and growing, when needed. It very often happens that weather conditions are
not right for shipping plants and much loss is incurred in this way. Growing your
own plants solves all of these problems. A few packets of seed will give you your stock
and some for neighbors.

We specialize in Snapdragon and are sticklers for Quality. All of our seed is pro-
duced under glass, only one variety in each separate house, which eliminat'S any possi-
ble chance of mixing' varieties by wind or insect. Pure seed means a liberal expenditure
of brains and labor. Our personal time is given. Only a few strong shoots on each plant
are permitted to flower. Each seed pod must be perfect in form an ■ si e and ripen uni-
formly from bottom of stem up. All others are thrown out. This is but an inkling of the
various details that make for our pure se-d. Do you wonder that our business grows and
that we have repeat orders for the fifth time from hundreds of customers?

Grow your own plants and sow seed now to follow Mums. Pure, fresh seed as follows:
Our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Velrose, Buxton. Garnet.
Yel'ow. White and mixed. ;J6c per pkt.; 3 for Jl.OO. All orders cash. Free cultural direc-
tions. Seedling plants of Nelrose and White ready now at $5.00 per 100.

aSISWOLD CO. ASKS REFUND.

In a complaint to the Interstate
Commerce Commission against the Colo-
rado & Southern and the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroads, the
Griswold Seed Co., of Lincoln, Neb.,
attacks the rates on sweet clover seed
from Wheatland, Wyo., to Lincoln. On
recent shipments the seed company was
charged at the rate of 80 cents per
hundred pounds, charges amounting in
all to $302. The complaint says this
rate is unreasonable, and that a fair
rate would be 60 cents. A refund of
$75 is asked. The company points out
that sweet clover is a member of the
alfalfa family, and contends that the
rate on alfalfa seed should apply to sweet
clover shipments. It is declared that
the Class A rate of 80 cents is unjust
and unreasonable, and that a reason-
able rate would be 60 cents, minimum
weight of 30,000 pounds, which is the
combination of the local rate based on

E. J. Sheep, of S. M. Isbell & Co.,
Jackson, Mich., predicts a shortage of
beans and vine seeds. These promised
a fifty per cent yield previous to the
recent heavy rains, which started an-
thracnose in the beans. Samples show
it badly. Melons and cucumbers will
be scarce. The radish yield is the best
ever harvested. Two special types, a
Scarlet Globe and a Scarlet White Tip,
have been developed from Vilmorin's
strain, and show much improvement
and distinctiveness.

According to a recent communication
from the J. H. Allan Seed Co., She-
boygan, Wis., the bean crop on a 1,600-
acre farm will not exceed a fifty per
cent basis.

W. T. Phillips & Co., Toledo, 0., re-
port a full crop of clover and timothy
of high grade. A grand old patriarch
in market gardening happened in their
store during my visit. He owned up
to 75 years, and was a splendid type

Pacific Coast Department

Th^ Post-oflBce department has issued a
revised list of 171 places in California
•where inspection of plants and plant
products is maintained and postmasters
at other points are required to forward
to the nearest of these places any parcels
containing articles subject to the terminal
inspection required by the state, as pro-
vided for in Section 278^4 of the Postal
Laws and Begulations.

LOS ANGELES.

Tbe Market.

Last week was a good one for the
green goods men. The annual fashion
show always uses a large quantity of
green stock, and this year was no ex-
ception. Possibly never before has the
scarcity of good flowering plants been
80 marked. Everyone likely to have
them is tired of answering telephone
inquiries for flowering plants. Natu-
rally, the growers are blanied. But re-
tailers and customers seem to forget
that in many cases growers have pre-
pared stocks of flowering plants only
to have them left on hand, and, in con-
■e<^uence, have fallen back on the safer
foliage plants, palms and ferns. Some
day a plant-growing establishment will
be started here, and the demand will
be created automatically.

Cut roses still are poor in texture,
and are off color in most cases. Good
stock sells on sight, but there is little
of it anywhere. Carnations are im-
proving in substance and color. The
stems, in most cases, are short and
stiff, and the flowers hold up fairly
well. Chrysanthemums are coming in
from the north and a few from local
growers. Those coming from the grow-
ers are somewhat better than the out-
of-town mums. Monrovia still holds its
own as an early yellow. Dahlias are
at their best and are plentiful, as are
most of the hardy plants. Orchids are
of medium quality and find a fair de-
mand. The demand for valley is
limited.

Various Notes.

O. C. Saakes left last week for a
combined business and pleasure trip to
San Francisco.

"Wright's Flower Shop reports a big
funeral business.

The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. has grown about 50,000
chrysanthemums this season. The
chrysanthemums are arriving in fine
shape, being far superior to the stock
shipped in from the north.

A story is being told about F.
Borden, of the Redondo Floral Co., go-
ing to Hemet to have his corns cured,
but nobody believes it. Messrs. Borden
and Knopf are back from their vaca-
tions and are looking and feeling fine.

Fred Sperry, manager of the Los
Angeles Floral Co., was laid up for a
few days, owing to an injury to his foot
while bathing. Mr. Sperry thinks that
he struck some kind of poisonous weed
in the ocean. He has had a painful
time. The Los Angeles Floral Co. will
shortly move to more commodious quar-
ters on Los Angeles street.

M. L. Germain, president of the Ger-

main Seed & Plant Co., and Mrs.
Germain, have returned from a 2,500-
mile trip taken in their Studebaker.
Mr. and Mrs. Germain wer^ away for
five weeks, visiting many beautiful
places in the north, and report a most
enjoyable time.

Walter Garbett, manager of Darling's
Flower Shop, is reported to be on the
sick list.

A. Hunt, manager of the flower de-
partment at the Hamburger store, and
his father are building large green-
houses at their nursery, at Bamona.

H. E. Richards.

Tassano Bros, have finished their new
glass houses in Glendale and are now
getting ready to set out 10,000 plants
of maidenhair fern. They expect to
grow some fine stock. The chrysanthe-
mums are all in bloom and they report
some excellent flowers. Business is
good.

SANTA BASBABA, CAL.

The funerals of several prominent
people here have helped out business,
which has otherwise been somewhat
dull. The local supply of cut flowers
is not great. All classes of pot stock
are short.

Mrs. Whipple, widow of J. Whipple,
is qontinuing the business of her late
husband. J. Gleave, formerly manager
here, has resigned his position, and is
looking for a location to commence
business for himself.
'»fThe beautiful Cowles estate is be-
ginning to take shape under the skill-
ful handling of Wm. Donald. A great
point made by this clever landscape
gardener is that to obtain good re-
sults small, healthy stock should be
planted rather than large overgrown
plants. The progress made in so short

a time is wonderful. While Mr. Donald
now sports an automobile, he still re-
tains his love for the horse, as was in-
dicated by his winning a silver cup at
the recent Ventura show. His niece,
Miss Burnett, captured several blue rib-
bons with her pony.

Albert Beverley, of the Mission Oak
Nursery, has his place in fine condi-
tion, and notes a revival in business.
He is trying out a large number of the
newer roses. H. E. Eichards.

SAN FBANOISCO.

The Market.

Although the crowd of visitors in
town has become smaller and the deco-
rations fewer, business activity is keep-
ing up to the high average of the sum-
mer. The trade is disposing of an
enormous amount of stock. Flowers,
especially the small summer stock, are
less plentiful, as we are getting into
the between-seasons period. The daily
offerings are taken up quickly. Scabi-
osas are having a long season, being
still fairly plentiful. A large number
of marguerites and Shasta daisies are
offered. Other small stock is playing
out. Asters are going off crop, sup-
plies being light and, for the most part,
poor. There are still a few good gladi-
oli. Dahlias are about at their best,
but not overplentiful. Offerings of
carnations do not increase much, but
as many dealers are not buying, the
shortage causes no great inconveni-
ence. Lilies are scarce; no tigrinums
are seen, and rubrums and albums are
about gone. Amaryllis keeps up, sup-
plies this season being unusually heavy.
Chrysanthemums are taking a promi-
nent position in the market. They are
not at their best, but some are good
asd have a satisfactory sale locally.

A large number of mums are being
shipped to nearby points, and there is
a much heavier movement in sight.
White varieties are scarce, but will be
back in a few days. Violets are still
scarce and in demand at good prices.
The quality of violets is not good, the
weather being dry and hot. General
offerings of roses are rather poor,
though some first-class stock is appear-
ing. Some nice Hoosier Beauty are
coming in, sharing popularity with
Hadley, Russell, Killarney Brilliant
and Ophelia. All the roses clean up
well. The first Irish Elegance in sev-
eral months came in last week. There
have been practically no orchids for
some time, and an increasing cut of
gardenias finds an excellent market in
consequence. There is still a large
movement of potted plants and ferns.
Cyclamen offerings are still quite mod-
erate; cockscomb is in good -supply.
A large number of begonias and prim-
ulas are sold.

Various Notes.

The E. W. McLellan Co. has had car-
penters at work installing two large
iceboxes at the new Bush street estab-
lishment, in preparation for the chrys-
anthemum and violet season. The ice-
boxes are being put up in sections, so
they can be easily moved. This com-
pany is trying out Hoosier Beauty,
which seems to be doing well.

Chas. F. Shellgrain, of the house of
J. B. Boland, reported a busy weeK.
He has had a good share of decorative
work in connection with the recent
convention of bankers.

Misses Rothschild & Cohen, florists
at the Hotel Bellevue, are closing their
second year in business. They report
a marked increase in business for the
summer, and are now filling orders for
some nice decorative work.

Many of the local growers entered
the dahlia show held September 18 at
the Palace of Horticulture. The ex-
hibits comprised the largest variety of
dahlias ever shown here.

Podesta & Baldocchi attracted atten-
tion last week with a basket of mag-
nificent tuberous begonias, in yellow
and orange shades. They are making
a specialty of enormous green-tinted
hydrangea blooms, which are a decided
novelty and sell quickly.

F. Schlotzhauer, of the Francis Floral
Co., is showing a large assortment of
baskets in which cherries are used as a
decorative motif. Old rose, cream and
violet, old ivory, etc., are the colors.
Mr. Schlotzhauer is shipping many
teasels, dyed in pastel colors.

Arthur Cann, who for the last five
years has conducted a flower and seed
shop at 51 South Second street, San
Jose, has opened a new store at the cor-
ner of South First and San Antonio
streets, one of the best business loca-
tions in San Jose. He has twice as
much space as before and a large con-
crete basement. The store has been
fitted Hp artistically, and a balcony has
been built to accommodate the office

every few days to look after hia two
stands in the Emporium department
store. The nursery department is ex-
ceedingly busy, especially in bulbs,
which are being prominently adver-
tised. Mr. Navlet has issued his first
fall catalogue, getting it out early for
the bulb trade. He expects to issue
three catalogues next year. Mr. Navlet
was at Santa Cruz a few days ago to
make bulb purchases and reported that
the growers there appear to be in good
shape for fall business. He said that
the daffodil and other bulbs offered by
C. Eaden Lilley are exceptionally fine.

According to reports from Eureka,
the new greenhouse of the (Jottage Gar-
dens Nursery Co. will be the largest in
the state. Work was started on the
foundations the first of the month. An
office building, boiler and tool house,
and a large slat house and packing
shed have been completed. Everything
is being equipped along the most mod-
ern lines. Several new houses are also
to be added to the experiment garden,
where a large amount of stock is being
assembled for planting in the Eureka
high school grounds.

The cannas in the garden south of
the Palace of Horticulture were slow
in getting a start, and for a time it
looked as if they would be a complete
failure. Now, however, the various
exhibits are coming into excellent
bloom. H. S. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business is reported as being unusu-
ally spotted, but as averaging better
than in the corresponding period of last
year. A marked increase in the num'
ber of September weddings is noted.
Carnations are coming in more freely
and their quality has improved. Octo-
ber Frost and Smith's Advance chrys-
anthemums have appeared on the list
of white mums. A heavy cut of Ophelia,
White Killarney, Killarney and Chat-
eney rosea is being marketed. The
rains which usually fall about Septem-
ber 1 did not arrive this year, and the
season for asters and other outdoor
flowers has been prolonged. Orchids
are still scarce. The demand for ferns
has increased.

Seedsmen report a good demand for
lawn grass seed and seeds of perennials
and winter vegetables, although the
lack of rain prevents buyers from
working the ground in many localities.

The Multnomah Exhibits.

The floral display at the Multnomah
county fair, held at Gresham two weeks
ago, proved to be a great attraction.
Prizes totaling $150 were offered by the
managers, for displays of permanent
beds and for table entries. In the
main hall, one table was filled with an
exhibit of dahlias from Gill Bros. Seed
Co., showing about 350 varieties. An-
other table contained blooms of roses
and perennials from the Mountain View
Floral Co., and two tables had home-
grown flowers and potted plants from
amateurs. Nearly all the agricultural
exhibits were decorated with vases of
cut flowers. A pyramidal stand filled
with foliage plants, furnished by the
Bahn & Herbert Co., formed the cen-
terpiece of the hall.

One of the permanent beds consisted
of Pride of Portland cannas, with a
border of coleus, and other beds had
gladioli and asters, all of which were

attach^ to the United States embassy at
Peking, China, suggests that American
seedsmen and nurserymen furnish his of-
fice with catalogues, as inquiries are often
received for American seed and nursery
catalogues. The climate of Peking is dry
and cold in winter and damp and hot in
summer, with a temperature ranging be-
tween zero and 100 degrees.

SEEDUNOS GROWN IN AMERICA.

[From a paper on "Seedllnga and Stock Grown
In America,'* read by M. J. Crow, of Ollroy, Cal.,
before the convention of the Pacific Coast Nur-
serymen's Association at San Francisco, August
12 to 14.]

For twenty years or more the Kaw
valley, in Kansas, and certain sections
of Iowa and Nebraska have produced
probably ninety per cent of the apple
seedlings used in the United States.
Of late years Oregon and Washington
have taken up seedling growing, and
are producing a beautiful grade of
apple, pear and cherry stocks, and with-
out doubt Myrobalan, quince stocks,
Manetti and other rose stocks, etc., can
be grown equally well.

Then why do we annually send to
Europe so many thousands of our hard-
earned dollars for what can so well be
produced at home! There are several
reasons for this: First, habit and con-
venience; the representatives of Euro-
pean firms call on us, offering stock
which we know from experience pro-
duces satisfactory results, and we dis-
like experimenting with the founda-
tion stone of our crops; second, there
are not as yet enough stocks grown
in the United States, with the excep-
tion of apple, to supply us all; third,
under normal conditions there is money
to be saved by buying the foreign prod-
uct, though for the last few years do-
mestic stock, so far as obtainable, has
been as low or lower in price than the
foreign. This may be accounted for by
the fact that in France there is the
strongest kind of an organization of
the principal growers; this organiza-
tion holds its meetings at stated inter-
vals and fixes the price at the highest
figure deemed procurable, with the re-
sult that our stocks have cost us con-
siderably more in recent years than the
law of supply and demand warranted,
and in consequence French growers
have become rich largely at the ex-
pense of the American nurseryman.

Kansas Difficulties.

To the casual observer it likely
seems strange that so few growers have
taken to seedling production in view

eial success. There suitable land is
expensive, either to buy or lease; seed
must be imported, the usual price
ranging from $14 to $25 per bushel^ and
only too often it is poor in germinating
qualities; the process of freezing and
sprouting the seed requires experience
and the greatest care; sowing, weeding,
cultivating, pulling and grading call
for an immense amount of hand labor,
which we all know runs into money;
then there is the expense of equipment
— grading houses, frost-proof cellars,
teams, tools and other necessary para-
phernalia, to all of which must be
added the selling and shipping costs.
For eleven years, being in close touch
with the Kansas seedling supply, I
carefully noted the numerous disasters,
and I well reuieqiber the crop being
practically wiped out, one year by
floods, another by drought, another by
excessive and continuous rainsiijust at
the time the seedlings were coming
through, and another ,year hail effec-
tively relieved the grower of all anxi
iety as to the marketing of his crop.

Opportunities on the Coast.

Now, all this does not look encourag-
ing to the man wanting to grow seed-
lings. Is it any wonder that so few
of us have the sporting proclivities nec-
essary to enter such a game! But we
must remember that these facts apply
to a country differing as greatly from
the states along the Pacific coast as Mr.
Brvj,n's opinions differ from those of
Ex-president Roosevelt. On the coast,
at least under irrigation, locations can
be secured where none of these disas-
ters are to be feared. The states of
Washington and Oregon are now grow-
ing as fine apple, pear and cherry seed-
lings as one could ask for; apricot,
peach and almond we have grown in
California in full supply for years and
a number of California nurserymen are
now growing Myrobalan sufficient for
their own planting. Even with certain
bulbs, growers at Santa Cruz, Cal., are
winning out against the supposedly in-
vincible Hollander. So it is clearly not
a question of "Can wef" but one of
"Will it payf"

Granted that our soil and climate are
all that can be desired, there are other
factors which must be given serious
consideration: We shall have to import
pear, apple and the most of our cherry
«ad Myrobalan seed for some years to

The Florists^ Review

Septembbb 23, 1915.

come or until trees can be planted and
brought to bearing age, which certainly
should be done; we should grow the
seed as well as the seedling. It is likely
that, with the end of the present war,
European conditions will quickly as-
sume the normal; with their well
trained labor, perfect equipment and
long experience, coupled with cheap
ocean freights, French growers can
make delivery at our ports at a low
figure and still have a balance on the
right side of the ledger. And it is safe
to assume that if they see their Amer-
ican market threatened, they will do
their utmost to throttle competition by
cutting prices to the minimum. Can
we make the required investment, buy
the seed, pay prevailing wages for labor
while training it fo» the work, absorj)
the higher freights to points east of
the Mississippi and still meet these cut
prices? I believe we can. If the Kan-
sas grower can live under the various
vicissitudes incidental to his climate,
and practically supply the American
market for apple seedlings, as he does
today, why cannot we, under our more
favorable conditions, do at least as
well!

The time seems ripe for some of us
to take up this work extensively and
make a specialty of it, each growing the
particular class of stock his locality will
best produce. Then it is up to the rest
of us to give these growers not only our
orders, but our support in every way
possible.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has just come through
the hottest week of the summer and
it certainly did not have a good effect
on business. Stock from a distance
was cooked in the boxes; even asters
and gladioli in some instances were
worthless. The retail stores were just
beginning to perk up and trade gen-
erally was improving, but the few hot
days set us back to midsummer con-
ditions. Roses were blown before they
could be delivered and asters as a rule
did not look good to the buyers. The
wholesale men did the best they could,
which was not good. Dahlias were
worthless when they arrived and only
the garbage man did a flourishing busi-
ness.

Various Notes.

Ray T. Page, auditor for the Pitts-
burgh Cut Flower Co., who has been in
poor health, has gone to Atlantic City
to recuperate. He probably will have
an extended vacation.

The landscape department of the A.
W. Smith Co. was nearly wrecked last
week. Ralph W. Pinner and Mr.
Bracken were at Coraopolis Heights to
look over a property they are making
plans for, and on their return their car
was upset and both men were taken to
the hospital. They are getting along
nicely and will be out in a few days.

William Loew has returned from the
S. A. F. convention, delighted with his
trip. Clarke.

CHICAGO FLORAL FESTIVAL.

At a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the Chicago Grand Floral
Festival, held at the offices of the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., Chicago, September 16,
much routine business was transacted,
A. Henderson, W. N. Rudd, W. J.
Keimel, N. P. Miller, George Asmus
and M. Barker being in attendance.
Considerable space was reported sold
in the trade exhibits' department, the
exhibitors including a number of the
prominent retailers. Arrangements
were made to materially extend the
private gardeners' section of the pre-
mium list, so as to conform to the
wishes of exhibitors. A number of ad-
ditional committees were suggested,
which will be announced as soon as
completed.

The preliminary premium list is
ready and copies may be had on appli-
cation to N. P. Miller, 179 North Wa-
bash avenue, Chicago. The exhibition
will be held at the Coliseum, Novem-
ber 9 to 14, and the liberal prizes in-
clude the following:

Class. 15A — Best display chrysanthemum cut
flowers, one or more varieties, arranged for effect,
to contain not less than 150 large blooms: foliage,
smaller chrysanthemum flowers, plants and other
accessories permitted, first, $200; second, $150;
third, $100.

Class 76A — Best display cut roses, one or more

plants to occupy not less than 150 square feet of
space, first. $100; second, $75; third, $50.

SEDAUA, MO.

The Market.

The market is steady. The demand
about equals the cut. The quality of
the stock is good. The carnation cut
is getting larger as cool nights draw
near.

Various Notea

Everybody is getting ready for the
great Missouri state fair. From a flo-
rist's standpoint, it will be greater
than ever before. Among the exhibi-
tors from this place will be the
Archias Floral Co., the Archias Seed
Co. and the State Fair Floral Co. The
fair will open September 25.

The Sedalia Democrat of September
19 contained an illustrated write-up
of the Archias Floral Co. and the
Archias Seed Store. The greenhouses,
at Fourth and Park avenue, are under
the supervision of President L. H.
Archias, assisted by John H. Halverson,
foreman. Vice-president L. A. Kipping*
is in charge at the seed store, at 106-
108 East Main street. J, H. H.

HYDRANGEAS

Our Hydrangeas are all grown in the open ground during the summer, where they make a very luxurious
growth, producing heavy heads. They are potted up in August and will be thoroughly rootbound in
October. They are extra heavy this season and will not only produce iiowers from the shoots but also
from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

The Market.

Birmingham has experienced a bet-
ter summer in the flower trade than
any of the last three years. Box trade
has been excellent for the last four
weeks, and we have had a large num-
ber of good funeral orders. All of the
local growers have their carnations
benched and well started. The rose
stock for the coming winter is excel-
lent. Pot plants for Christmas are com-
ing along nicely.

Various Notes.

Hugh Scales has plans for erecting
one or two houses late this fall.

The Parker estate has begun the
erection of another large house for car-
nations. They have added extensively
to the range during the last year and
have had wonderful success under the
management of J. B. Patterson, who
has had charge of the estate since the
death of the former owner.

T. G. Owens & Sons are again open
for business at their home at Nine-
teenth street and Second avenue.

The KeUy Floral Co., of Ensley, re-
cently acquired possession of the Luther
flower store and has made large im-
provements. W. J. Z.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

The Market.

The beginning of September business
was unusually good, but last week it
was quite slow, but for some funeral
work. The weather was extremely hot
and the stores found it difficult to get
good stock. Dahlias seem to suffer from
the heat and arrive in poor condition.
Chrysanthemums do not find much sale,
but the first carnations move quite
well.

Various Notes.

The Egg Harbor Flower Shop had
some good funeral orders for a man
quite prominent in the city.

A large order for decorations and a
great number of gifts in celebration of
a golden wedding kept the Edwards
Floral Hall Co. force busy Sunday, Sep-
tember 12.

The Chelsea Flower Shop closed last
week.

The Fldifets^ Review

SUFTIIlfBAB 23, 19i&.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The weather last week was perhaps
a little warmer than desired, but as we
have not had much summer this year,
the warm spell was a good thing.
Everything has made a remarkably
good growth the last fortnight, and
flowers are becoming more plentiful.
Qladipli are in good supply again, and
some good dahlias are rapidly coming
in. A good rain would help the dahlias,
however.

And here I wish to say a word for
the new dahlia. Golden Gate. It is
coming into bloom freely, and I must
say. that it is in a class by itself. It
certainly will sell wherever there is a
demand for cut flowers. A friend
wired a Golden Gate to a chrysanthe-
mum stem and passed it off for a large
yellow mum. It is a marvel as a
keeper.

Carjiations are beginning to show
good quality, • and there will soon be
more than can be used. The first mums
haye put in their appearance, but there
is little demand for them. Boses were
in good supply last week.

Business still is hanging fire, though
it is better than a few weeks ago. It
looks as if it would take a good frost
to tone things up.

Barring a few Paper White narcissus
bulbs, none of the fall bulbs have been
received here as yet. Part of them are
reported to be between here and New
York.

Various Notes.

The basiness men are promoting a
chrysanthemum show in connection with
the manufacturers ' made-in-Nashville
exhibition. The growers feel that it
is too late to make the undertaking a
success. Why not get the ball rolling
and hold a good show a year from
this fallf

I saw an Antigonon leptopus vine in
bloom at the Hillcrest School Farm
last week. If this vine proves hardy
enough to stand the winters here, I pre-
dict a heavy demand for it, as it is
certainly the brightest vine I have yet
seen.

The Joy Floral Co. has one of the
best fields of dahlias I have ever seen.
This company displayed Paper White
bulbs last week.

Geny Bros, have a window featuring
early chrysanthemums. Oscar Geny
seems to have fully recovered his
health, for he is attending to business.

Mclntyre Bros, have a pretty minia-
ture lake in their window, which is
planted with the usual water plants.
It is hard work to make such a dis-
play, but it pays. F. B.

THEREisNOSCARCin
of PALMS at DREER'S

iBlUR SUPPLY of Palms, and particularly that of Kentias,
y^J is not at all a£fected by the war tie-up of Belgian stocks.
^^ We are carrying the usual large quantities and full line
of sizes of the well known Dreer quality, but as the general
supply of this class of stock is much smaller than usual, due
to this blockade, there is certain to be a scarcity as the season
advances. The demand during August has been heavier than
we have ever experienced during that month, and we are posi-
tive that there will not be sufficient good stock to last through-
out the season. We therefore recommend that you cover
your requirements early. If you are not ready to accept im-
mediate delivery, let us book your order, and we will set aside
and reserve your stock, making delivery at any time between
now and October 15. •«

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Last week was unusually hot for Sep-
tember, but business was ■ goodjr' owing
to a large number of f unptals. Flowers,
especially roses, went toiineces quickly.
The new-crop carnation^: are gaining in
quantity and are good, but the stems
are short. Outdoor; ^sters are about
gone. . ^>-ri •

Karl Zeidler is thinking of starting a
wholesale house in the near future. This
summer he has piit in another TO-horse-
power boiler and built a 75-foot brick
stack. The boilers are connected aiid
can be used together if necessary.
Either one will heat his plant, but he
believes in having one in reserve.

Julius Niednagel & Sons have opened
a fine store in the Waverly building. It
is a' fine location. The store was opened
September 11, but they plan to have a
grand opening when the chrysanthe-
mums are in.

The. Wm. Blackman Tloral Co. has
put in- a new McCray refrigerator. It
holds 1,200 pounds of ice. Last week
everything in the store was newly
painted.

J. C. Elspermann is not well, and is
not able to attend to his work in the
greenhouse as he would like to. The
boys are getting along nicely with the
growing end.

Mrs. Austin Wallace has had good
cuts of Killarney roses, asters and smi-
laX. She is having the boiler overhauled
for the winter.

Henry Seymour's mums and carna-
tions are in good condition. He has a
fine lot of ferns of different sizes.

Everything at Miss Nellie Goodge's
place is in good shape. Her mums are
in excellent condition and setting buds
nicely.

Royston & Fenton are doing the re-
pair work needed, and will soon have
things in shape for the winter. They
have a nice lot of Sprengeri, coleus and
sultanas. Their Ivory roses have been
producing heavily, but are off crop just
now.

Creenhouse Heating.

SuBSCBlBESS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
«quipment advertised in this paper is, we
iMlieve, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptatio)!.

OAS HEATER T0^ SMALL HOUSE.

Will you tell me 1;he best and most
practical way of heating a small house,
14x30 feet and eight feet high, run-
ning east and westf The south wall
is brick; the north side is half brick
:and half glass. The house has a full
■exposure to the wind, being on top of
a hill. Do you think it would be pos-
-sible to heat this with a couple of gas
-stoves, where g^s sells at 25 cents f
If a coil should be used, kfodly suggest
the best method of erecting it, or in-
dicate any other method which might
*e better. F. M. R.— Md.

T am not able to determine the
-amount of exposed glass, but think it
to be about 450 square feet, while the
exposed brickwork would be the equiva-
lent of perhaps 100 feet more of glass.
To heat such a house with hot water
■will require ^bout 175 square feet of
radiation, which would be furnished by
running a coil of four 1%-inch pipes
around the walls of the house.

The heater should be located outside
the greenhouse, especially if gas or
coal is used. I do not know of any gas
hot water heaters being used for green-
houses, but do not see why it would
not be possible to construct one, if
those used for heating kitchen tanks
are not large enough for the purpose.
A gas stove in the greenhouse would
injure the plants.

HEATING THBEE HOUSES.

I am building three greenhouses.
Two of them are 30x80 feet; the third,
to the north of the others, is 20x50
feet, and a shed 20x30 completes the
span. These houses run east and west,
and are of wood construction. In the
south wall is thirty-six inches of glass.
A concrete wall one foot above the

f round runs entirely around the houses,
he gables are of glass to within four
feet of the ground. The ridge in the
two larger houses is fourteen feet from
the ground and in the smaller house
twelve feet. The sides are five feet
to the eaves. Each house is separated
from the others by a wall, of which
thirty -six inches is glass and the re-
mainder boards and concrete. The
north exposure will be entirely boarded
up.

I intend to use a sectional hot water
boiler, the firebox of which is 28 x 50
inches. I shall use the two larger
lipuseB for carnations, chrysanthemums
«nd lettuce, and the smaller house for

TO THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOILER

The cuatomers' Interest flret — Is the basis of the Kroeechell standard, and this prlnctyle
makes the Kroeechell policy the most liberal of all In the greenhouse boiler business.
The great variety of boilers that we make places us in a commanding position. We
make every type of boiler that is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest
water tube steam boiler (600 horse power). For the above reason we can furnish the
most efficient boiler unit in every case.

It Is the Kroeschell principle to supply only that type of boiler which Is best suiteA to
the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand.

The Kroeschell

Is making the most
wonderful greenhouse
heating record In the
world. Florists who
have used other makes
are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.

10.788,000 sq. ft. of
glass was equipped
with the Kroeschell
Boiler during the past
Ave years.

The Kroeschell

has replaced hundreds
of cast iron boilers. In
every case higher tem-
peratures are secured
with the Kroeschell
with the same piping
and with less fuel.

The Kroeschell is
sold direct from fac-
tory to users. This
eliminates the unnec-
e s 8 a r y middleman's
profit.

Every boiler made at our works is of the highest standard. Material — governed
by Kroeschell specifications — the best that money and brains can produce.
Workmanship — the kind that is an inspiration to all other boiler makera
Boiler efficiency — determined by actual tests under working conditions. Boiler
ratings — honest and true blue — guaranteed actual working capacities.

Probably yon have wondered why the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler is n*t sold by any
of the greenhouse construction companies. In Justice to all concerned we feel It Is our
duty to state that the Kroeschell Boiler Is never sold by anyone but — The KROESCHELI.
BROS. CO. — We have no agents, and as ou'r prices are based on sales direct from fac-
tory to user, we do not quote anyone dealing In boilers special resale pHces. Our stand
in this matter has brought oat a lot of competition : nevertheless, the great efficiency
of the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler cannot be disputed, and In suite of the keen com-
petition the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler Is heating more glass than any other make —
"DO NOT GET CHEATED OUT OF THE KROESCHELL. BUT PLACE YOUR ORDER
DIRECT AT ONCE."

Your No. 13 Boiler Is carrying
25,000 sq. ft. of glass, and I can keep
It at 60 degrees in the coldest
weather without any trouble. I have
three cast Iron boilers also, heating
a range of 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, but
the No. 18 Kroeschell Boiler only
takes half the coal and half the
work to get the same results.

The Kroeschell is doing the same
work as good and as saving as ever.

Our No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler Is heat-
ing 16,000 sq. ft. of glass, and It
would take care of more. We carry
a temperature from 70 to 86 degrees,
and have had no trouble In regard
to this. The Kroeschell has given
entire satisfaction.

Have had to contend with nearly
every other make of boiler en the
market, and in my estimation the
Kroeschell surpasses, without ex-
ception, any type or make.

Get the Kroeschell Tint

Several years ago Mr. Pouting corresponded with us In regard
to the Kroeschell Hot Water Boiler, but was persuaded to install
two sectional castiiron boilers which were claimed to be superior
to the Kroeschell

Ip th« roeantfme me placed a number of Kroeschell Boilers in
(ithe Immediate vicinity of Mr. Ponting, and he could not help
but notice their great efflclency, and last year, while at the con-
vention, he placed his order for his first Kroeschell. The fol-
lowing letter speaks for Itself:

"We like the Kroeschell Boiler very much. It gives entire
satisfaction, and it is so easy to fire. I will trade you the two
east iron sectional boilers for another like the Kroeschell I have."

July 16, 1913, Cleveland, Ohio.

(Signed) FRED PONTING.

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Inn

In 1012 our cast iron sectional
boiler cracked in one section and we
ordered a No. 8M Kroeschell Boiler
by telegraph. This boiler Is heating
10.200 sq. ft. of glass, besides the
office and potting shed, and you will
note this is 1200 ft. more than its
rating. We have no trouble to main-
tain proper temperatures at any
time and the boiler has given per-
fect satisfaction.

With the Kroeschell we have added
one more house, but have not used
any more coal than with the cast
Iron boiler and 3000 ft. less to heat.
One east Iron break-down was enough
for us, for we have found It pdys to
get the best — the Kroeschell.

(Signed) MICHLER BROS. CO.
July 17. 1913. Lexington, Ky.

Knesckell Replaces 3 Cast Inn Boilers

The No. 6 Kroeschell which we
purchased some years ago is beating
18,000 sq. ft. of glass and we should
Judge that it would take care of
5000 or 6000 ft. more easily.

Our houses require a temperature
of 50 to 62 degrees at night, and we
certainly do not have the least trou-
ble to keep temperatures in the cold-
est weather. We do not have to fire
our boiler as often as our brother
florists who are using different makes.
The Kroeschell has replaced three
cast iron sectional boilers, and it
certainly has given entire satisfac-
tion.

It only takes a few words to ex-
press the good quality of your boilers
and they are as follows: "Of all
firms handling boilers and advertising
them truthfully, the party buying a
boiler would have to get the Kroes-
chell, as you are certainly advertising
nothing but facts."

Some Won'ts and Wills

A mule that won't kick and will work, has the two important
things you and I would demand in a mule, if we were buying one.

For the same reasons, when you buy a boiler, it's quite as important
to know what it won't do as what it will do.

Here are the Burnham Won'ts and Wills.

Burnham Won'ts

'Won't have any dead "spots" in the fire,
draft is even over entire grate surface.

The

-Won't let the gases collect in the center or pass
at once to back of combustion chamber, making
some of the sections hotter than others. Each
is equally hot.

-Won't let the gases reach smoke pipe without three
times traveling the length of the boiler.

-Won't let any gases escape, unharnessed.

-Won't vary in water line.

-Won't prime.

-Won't let operating rod bolts on grate bum off—
can't— hasn't any bolts.

-Won't let volumes of gases escape
when cleaning flues— there's a
door to each flue— how can it?

-Won't poke along when you want
a "quick-as-a-wink fire."

-Won't have to change grates when
you want to change fuel.

-Won't have to buy new long tie
bolts when you add sections;
when you add to your house.
Tie bolts furnished with each
section.

Burnhams are made in over flO sizes,

and will economically heat ranges of

fflass up to 30,000 square feet.

Burnham Wills

—Will draw all gases up the side flues, making dis-
tribution of heat even, resulting in each section
being equally efficient.

—Will burn ten hours without attention, and keep
satisfactory heat up.

— Will hold a slumber fire twenty-four hours.

—Will wake up, and heat up, in a surprisingly short
time.

—Will burn all kinds of coal with perfect success.

-Will circulate the water rapidly, because it takes
so much heat from the fire and quickly puts it
into the water.

—Will shake half again as easy as other boilers, because
grates shake half at a time.

—Will economically carry only half
a fire, because you can bank
back half and run front half.

—Will smash clinkers that would
wedge other grates. Burnham
grates act like big nut crackers
and break up the clinkers.

—Will do exactly what we say it
will do, if properly put in and
rightly run.

—We guarantee it.

ferns, pot plants, etc. The climate is
mild here. The temperature rarely goes
below 15 degrees above zero. I should
like to maintain a temperature of 55
degrees in the coldest weather in the
larger houses, and 65 to 70 degrees in
the smaller house. Will you please tell
me how to pipe these houses? If the
size of the boiler is unsatisfactory, I
can either enlarge or reduce it. The
flows and returns on this boiler may be
either 2 1^ -inch or 2-inch. How low
should the boiler pit bef

W. H. D.— Ore.

"Without some knowledge of the way
the boiler is constructed, it is not pos-
sible to estimate its rating, but I should
consider a boiler having a firebox 28 x
50 inches amply large for heating the
houses described and able to heat them
economically.

I should run a 4-inch flow pipe to the
south house, and with it supply three
2%-inch flow pipes. One should be
upon each plate, and the other under
the ridge. Connect each flow pipe at
the west end of the house with return
coils of 2-inch pipe. Three pipes will
be required in the middle and south
coils, and two for the coil on the north
wall.

In the middle house only two flows
will be required, and each of these
should supply a coil containing four
2-inch returns. For this house the main
flow and return pipes need not be
larger than Si-^-inch.

To heat the small house to 65 degrees,
run a 2-inch flow on each wall plate,
and connect each flow with a coil con-
taining four 2-inch returns. If 70 de-
grees is needed, use 2% -inch pipes for
the flows and five returns in each coil.

If the boiler has no openings larger
than 2%-inch, it will be necessary to
run flow and return pipes of that size
from the boiler to each house. I should
prefer not to use flows and main returns
smaller than 2%-inch for an open tank
system; if the openings are only 2-inch,
I should still use 2i^-inch pipes and re-
duce them at the heater. If 2-inch
flows and returns are put in, a mercury
generator should be used. If possible,
the top of the heatei* should be below
the level of the returns.

PAETLY FOR PEOPAGATING.

We are building an additional green-
house, 12x126, which eventually is to
be used only as a propagating house,
but will at first be used for general
purposes, such as propagating and
growing pot plants, etc. There will be
a 3-foot bench along the south wall,
and a 5-foot bench with a walk on each
side of it. We intend to use the 3-foot
bench for propagating only. Will you
please give us instructions about the
piping of the house!

J. G. W. & S.— 111.

The temperature desired for the
house is not stated, but for most plants
60 degrees will answer and this may
be secured by running a 2i/^-inch flow
on the plate over the 3-foot bench and
another about three feet under the
ridge, with three 2-inch returns under
each of the benches. In order to se-
cure bottom heat for the propagating
bed, the sides should be partly boarded
up. Later, when both beds are re-
quired for this purpose, and especially
if more heat is desired, one flow and
two or three returns may be placed on
tho other wall.

The Rorists' Review

Sbpthmbms 28, l»ld.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Last week was the hottest we have
had this summer and the extreme heat
played havoc with the cut flower busi-
ness. Business would have been at a
standstill were it not for funeral work.
A prominent funeral called for a great
many flowers in elaborate arrangement.
Fall weddings were not numerous last
week, and social activities were prac-
tically at a standstill.

The hot weather has affected the
roses more noticeably than any other
flower. Killarney and Bichmond are
showing poor keeping qualities. Car-
nations have been forced in large quan-
tities, but they are short-stemmed, En-
chantress being the best variety.
There are a few White Enchantress car-
nations offered. Easter lilies and ru-
brum lilies met with a good call for fu-
neral work. Chrysanthemums are be-
coming numerous, but outside of fu-
neral work, they have little demand.

VariouB Notes.

The Flick Floral Co. had a large
amount of funeral work last week.

The Bradley Flower Shop furnished
bouquets for a large wedding. The
bride's bouquet was a shower of White
Killarney roses and swainsonas, while
the bridesmaids ' bouquets were of mam-
moth pink asters. The matron of honor
carried Shawyer roses.

Miss Katherine Yesey has gone to the
Ohio Wesleyan college, Delaware, O.,
to continue her studies.

W. J. Vesey, Jr., has returned from
the meeting of the State Florists' As-
sociation, held at Indianapolis last
week. R. F.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

Trade conditions have been only fair
this month. This locality has had a
steady rain about every other day for
the last two months, which has not
stimulated business much.

Stock has been plentiful and has not
been cleaned up. Dahlias have been
more than enough for the demand, and
their keeping qualities have been poor,
owing to the extremely wet weather.
Some first-class asters have been on the
market. Eoses have been of good qual-
ity. Gladioli are still available. Car-
nations are improving. Mums are not
in much demand.

Various Notes.

George Wiegand has been on a two
weeks' vacation in Arkansas.

C. B. Knickman, with McHutchison
& Co., and Julius DilloflP, with Schloss
Bros., both of New York, were callers
last week.

H. W. Eieman is back from his trip
to the coast. Mr. Eieman enjoyed his
trip immensely, but is glad to get back
again. John Hartje, who left with Mr.
Eieman, is still on the coast.

C. E. Greene, who has moved his
residence to Forty-eighth and Central
avenue, is much pleased with the
'change.

Homer "Wiegand has invested in a
new Pathfinder 6-cylinder touring car
and has been working it overtime dur-
ing the last two weeks.

Peter Weiland has been shipping
some first-class asters to this market.

The Smith & Young Co. is cutting
some first-class Killarneys.

Clarence Thomas, with the E. G. Hill
Co., reports a number of decorations
booked for the coming month.

There is a movement on foot to close
the retail stores at 6 p. m. and Sunday
afternoons. There is no reason why
florists should keep their stores open
nights, Sundays and holidays for the
sake of a few buyers who could soon
be taught to do their buying during
regular business hours. H. IL. W.

Omaha, Neb. — In the professional
class of exhibits at the Nebraska state
fair, OLewis Henderson was awarded
•five first premiums and Hess & Swoboda
two firsts. Frey & Frey, of Lincoln,
received five firsts and the Griswold
Seed Co., also of Lincoln, won four
first awards.

Club Meeting.

The Lancaster County Florists' Club
met in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
Thursdaj evening, September 16. B.
Vincent, Jr., and son, of White Marsh,
Md., were present. The former gave a
delightful talk about some of the flo-
rists' establishments he visited while
on his trip to the Pacific coast this sum-
mer. Mr. Vincent's son read a paper
on dahlias, which was one of the best
to which we have ever had the pleasure
of listening. They brought with them
a fine collection of dahlias, possibly
100 varieties, the cream of their im-
mense planting of fifty acres.

Edward Beck and Chas. H. Tucker
were elected to membership. Budolph
Nagel showed vases of Smith's Ad-
vance chrysanthemums, of exceptional
merit, and his yellow sport from that
variety, which was fine. David F.
Bose, an amateur, showed a vase of
dahlias, which reflected much credit on
his cultural skill.

September 28 to October 1, in con-
nection with the Lancaster county agri-
cultural fair, the Lancaster County Flo-
rists' Club will conduct a dahlia show.
Cups and prizes will be awarded to
both amateurs and florists. We invite
anyone who grows dahlias to join us
and help make it a success. Kindly
communicate with Albert M. Herr,
chairman of the dahlia show committee.

October 14, at the regular club meet-
ing, we expect to have the pleasure of
an address by Bobert Pyle, of West
Grove, on his trip to the exposition
and the S. A. F. convention.

The Florists^ Review

Sbptombeb 23, 1915.

SOBANTON, PA.

' ' The Market.

Business has been increasing nicely
during the last week. The fall open-
ings in the department and millinery
stores called for many palms, ferns,
baskets of cut flowers and floral horse-
shoes, Octobei^ promises to be a big
wedding month. Some of the florists
have booked large orders.

There is not much call for early
chrysanthemums and they are sold at
low prices. The weather has reduced
the supply of outdoor flowers. Good
asters are about done for. We are re-
ceiving some fine roses. Bussell and
Hoosier Beauty prove the best sellers.
Easter lilies are plentiful. There is not
much demand for them.

Various Notes.

E. L. Day, of Stroudsburg, was a
caller last week. He reports business
fair.

John W. Beagle reports a busy week.
He had the decoration for the opening
of the Cleland-Simpson Co. He is cut-
ting some fine carnations.

J. P. Brown decorated the house for
the Millar wedding. The color scheme
was lavender, brown ' and yellow. The
rooms were decorated with palms, ferns
and baskets of brown and yellow
dahlias. The tables had centerpieces
of Ward roses. The hall was decorated
with lavender asters.

Baldwin reports a busy week with
funeral work. Miss G. Jenkins, the
saleslady at Baldwin's, is cutting some
of the finest cactus dahlias that I have
seen this season. She is growing them
at her home.

B. E. & J. T. Cokely are going to
enter the wholesale commission business
about October 15 in connection with
their florists' supply and seed business.

A trip to Morel Bros.' greenhouses
found everything in good shape, espe-
cially their field-grown carnations,
which are nice and bushy. Their
chrysanthemums look promising.

Muir & Co. report business fair. Mrs.
M. M«ir has returned from a two
weeks' vacation spent at Buffalo and
Philadelphia.

A card from T. J. Nolan, of the King
Construction Co., who is traveling
through New York state, reports busi-
ness quite good.

Schultheis last week had a pretty
window display of Golden Glow n;ums
and assorted dahlias. F. J. M.

YOUTHFUL DAHLIA »
SOdlETY HOLDS SHOW

Four-months-old organization holds first national exhibition of the
dahlia ever staged in America and attracts thousands of New York flower
lovers. Flower given a hig boost in popular esteem by the demonstration
of its possibilities in the hands of skilled retailers. AnnuM meeting held

g HAT most precocious of all
r|» our trade organizations,
^1 I '< the American Dahlia So-
1. ciety, made its bow to the

public somewhat handi-
capped by the weather,
but nevertheless set a rec-
ord by giving a big na-
tional show within less
than four months of the
date of forming the association. None
of the other special flower societies ever
got into action so quickly and those
that come along in the f uturd, as others
doubtless will, must go some to beat
the celerity with which this prodigy got
into action.

From an initial meeting of less than
a dozen organizers, in May, to a mem-
bership of nearly 250 in September, is
no small accomplishment and reflects
great credit on President Vincent and
Secretary Lane, both of whom have
been efficient and tireless workers in its
behalf.

Big Show, Big Crowd.

As the date for the show approached,
the management experienced the anxi-
eties that come to all those identified
with exhibitions of outdoor flowers —
weather conditions were bad. High
heat, heavy rains and early frosts all
threatened the stock intended for the
show, destroying a part of it, but in the
end it turned out that there were plenty
of fine flowers for a big exhibition.

The show was held at the American

Museum of Natural History, in New
Yorl^, September 24 to 26, and was fa-
vored with perfect weather dtfring
two of the three days. The attend-
ance exceeded all expectations. The
number of visitors on the opening
day was more than double that of
any first day flower show records at
the museum — and on Sunday the crowd
was enormous. In the large rotunda the
display of artistic creations by the re-
tail florists was a charming introduction
to one of the prettiest exhibitions ever
staged in New York. The dahlia was
supreme, no other flower being used in

the frames, baskets, bouquets and table
decorations. Max Schling, G. E. M.
Stumpp, Kottmiller and Young & Nu-'
gent were the astute retailers who
grasped the opportunity for legitimate
publicity and their handiwork was
charming and perfect, demonstrating
again that the retailers ' work interests
the visitors far more than do the formal
vases of the growers.

^JThe Principal Exhibitors,
mbng the largest exhibitors were B.
Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White Marsh,
Md. This concern not only used over
10,000 dahlias for its own display, but
supplied free the flowers used by the
retailers, a most generous act, which
was greatly appreciated.

George L. Stillman 's immense assort-
ment, from Westerly, E. I., was greatly
admired. Among the gardeners James
Duthie and P. W. Popp shon6 brilliant-
ly. W. A. Manda's display was magnifi-
cent and occupied an entire section of
the floor spac^ W. Atlee Burpee & Co.,
Philadelphia, had a beautifully ar-
ranged bank, in charge of George W.
Kerr, which was a center of attraction.
Other large exhibitors were the Pea-
cock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. J.; Will-
iam A. Finger, of the Long Island

RICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY.

First Anniial Meeting.

The firsf annual meeting of the Amet-
ican Dahlia Society, organized May 10,
1915, was held at the American Museum
of Natural History September 24. All
the oflScers were present and a goodly
number of the members of the society.
President Vincent read his address and
announced that invitations for the
dahlia show of 1916 had been receiveS
from the Eochester Florists' Club and
from the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society. He also predicted an invita-
tion from the American Institute of
iSew York. Mr. Vincent recommended
that the show be held in Eochester, fol-
lowing with another exhibition the next
week in Philadelphia and the third
week in New York. He said the Ameri-
can Dahlia Society is ' * one of the flour-
ishing children of the S. A. F., with a
great future before it."

Secretary Joseph J. Lane announced
the remarkable and rapid increase in
membership and predicted that before
the 1916 meeting the membership will
total 500; seventy-five per cent of the
present membership consists of ama-
teurs.

PEESIDENT VINCENT'S ADDEESS.

[The remarks with which R. Vincent, Jr.,
opened the first annual meeting of the American
Dahlia Society, at New York, September 24,
1015.]

We meet today for the first time be-
fore the public and have put forth our
first efforts to give them an idea of the
immensity of the dahlia-loving public
and of the growing love of this beauti-
ful flower that can be grown and flow-
ered by the humble cottager as well as
by the prince or king.

Surely a man having a garden of
beautiful, well-grown dahlias, no matter
how humble his position in life, feels
rich and happy in being th« owner of
so much that makes the garden and
home beautiful.

Of course, as with everything else,
there are apt to be failures in dahlias
as in other varieties of flowers. Even
the large growers have their ups and
downs to contend with, but taking one
year with another, the dahlia cannot be
beaten for producing a good crop of
blooms. Sometimes, from slight circum-
stances, the amount of bloom, size, etc.,
is materially reduced and, again, the
insect pests which gather, not generally
on the dahlia but on other things plant-
ed near them, when short of other food
will attack the dahlia. To avoid these
ills, we would advise that separate
plantings be made at intervals of two
to three weeks, the late planting often
doing the best, as it has the cooler
weather and longer nights, and makes
a more sturdy and insect-resisting
growth and generally produces the best
and.^nest flowers. Those early plant-
ed often get woody, but cutting

the flowers with long stems, or cutting
the plants back, if done early in the
season, will renew the growth and pro-
duce nearly as good flowers as the later
planted ones.

The main thing is, do not be afraid
to use the knife on them. This is often
required in thinning out, some varieties
growing too thickly to produce fine
flowers. Again, if extra large flowers
are wanted, this is obtained by what
is termed disbudding; that is, as soon
as the buds can be seen, pick put ,all
the buds but the main one. "Thus the
entire strength goes into the one flower.
This can only be done in the large-
flowering type. The smaller-flowered
varieties do not justify this amount of
trouble.

One point where many people fail and
complain is in the wintering over of
their roots. The varieties that form
large clumps with big tubers are not so
hard to keep, for they will keep where
potatoes keep well, but some of the
finer varieties do not make much more
than a mass of fine rootlets, which are
hard to keep. In this case they want
bedding in dry sand, earth or some
material that will keep them from dry-
ing up.

My own experience with the dahlia
goes back a goodly number of years,
when as a boy my father had a dozen
or so of double ones in the garden. I
was so struck with them that I thought
nothing c6uld equal them and I offered
my father a sixpence that I had saved
up for something else to allow me to
call one dahlia plant mine. My next
experieface was in Maryland durinrj the
Civil war. As a young man I had
charge of the dahlia patch on the place
my father was managing and I had the
privilege of putting ft lot of them on

exhibition at one of the horticultural
shows held in the Maryland Institute
in Baltimore. This, apparently the first
exhibition of dahlias given in Balti-
more, attracted much attention, many
hardly believing they were flowers.

If I remember rightly, this collection
was purchased from the late Peter Hen-
dfrson and I believe that if the Amer-
ican history of the dahlia could be
traced out, he was the first to introduce
the dahlia in variety and quantity to'
this country.

My sincere hope is that this Amer-
ican Dahlia Society may continue its
good work so nobly begun, so that at
every home, no matter how humble, and
wherever there is » garden spot, dahlias
may be planted and the country beauti-

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

Stonebam, Mas& — John L. White,
proprietor of a florists' business on
Wright street court and other flower
shops at Wakefield and Pittsfield, Mass.,
has filed a voluntary petition in bank-
ruptcy. His liabilities are scheduled at
$2,;^95 and his assets at $2,512.

Denver, Colo. — ^Upon application of
George W. Gero and Charles E. Carlson,
creditors, the Elitch-Long .Gardens
Co. has been placed in the hands of a
receiver. District Judge Allen appoint-
ed George L. Boberts receiver. Gero

and Carlson, in their petition, set out
that the company had been running be-
hind in expenses for some time, and
that the interests of the creditors re-
quire that a receiver assume charge of
the company's affairs and conserve its
assets to the creditors. The concern
operates an amusement park and a
florists' business.

NATIONAL ^FLOWER SHOW.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., has offered
forty-six special premiums in twenty-
three classes for the National Flower
Show to be held in Philadelphia March
25 to April 2, 1916, and Henry F.
Michell Co. has offered 100 special cash
prizes, medals and cups, in fifty classes.
In sending The Eeview typewritten
lists of these seventy- three elapses and
146 premiums. Publicity Director W. F.
Therkildson writes:

"These lists, you understand, are in
addition to the regular premium list
and there will no doubt be several
others to supplement this before the
general premium list is made up. W.
Atlee Burpee & Co. expect to issue a
list on sweet peas, but this has not yet
been arranged.

"We had a meeting in my oflSce Sep-
tember 23, of the press and publicity
committee. You will note that this
committee is made up' with a repre-

sentative from each of the.. Philadel-
phia papers. By this means we expect
to get some extraordinary publicity.

'•Poster stamps were agreed upon
for the use of the several local firms
in their correspondence prior to the
flower show, as well ad the design for
the premium list cover. It was also
decided that a design should be worked
up for posters, window cards and the
program cpver, the same design to
be used on^ all three, with the idea of
getting accumulative value of keeping
one design constantly before the public.
There have been no further develop-
ments^'^in the flower show situation ^t
this time.**

ABKANSAS SHOW Bl

A fall flower show, which wjil be the
first held 4° Fort Smith, Ark., in eight
seasons, has been artanj^d under the
auspices of the t>oaMfPi|jMy mana-
gers of the Sparks Memorial hospital,
as a benefit show for the Institjation.
George Rye, one of Fort Smith 'fi lead-
ing florists, is the manager aiid has
been busy enlisting the support of a
hundi'ed ^r more growers in the vicin-
ity. He. declares the exhibition is a
fine opportunity for showing stock in
quarters where new trade may be de-
veloped. The dates of the show will
be November 5 and 6.

HOW TO MAKE THEM PAY.

' ' t!teatment of Dutch Bnlbs.

Any doubts which may have existed
about an adequate supply of Dutch
bulbs eoming to hand in good season
have already been dissipated. Arrivals
are more numerous than usual and have
come in good season. In addition, the
quality is unusually good, thanks, in
great measure, to diminished purchases
made by Great Britain, Bussia, Ger-
many and other European belligerents.
Whether we will continue to get as
fine bulbs at the close of the present
great conflict remains to be seen, but
it is true that up to last year America
did not receive the highest grades of
bulbs produced, the European countries
taking them. Those who have handled
bulbs on the two continents know this
to be the case.

It hardly need be said that Dutch
bulbs as soon as received should be
unpacked and laid out in flats or on
shelves in a cool, dry shed until they
can be placed in the soil. If they are
left packed in paper bags, or in bulk
in cases, there is great danger of sweat-
ing and heating, particularly in the
ease of some narcissi, such as Hors-
fieldii, omatus and Victoria. A further
fact, which needs constant reiteration,
is that the longer bulbs are left out of

the soil after having been received,
the less satisfactory the returns from
them will be. It is possible to plant
tulips, narcissi and hyacitiths as late
stk December and flower them, but there
will be no comparison between the flow-
ers produced on these and those on the
early planted ones.

The question is asked each season,
"Do bulbs payt** They paid extremely
well last season, when conditions were
discouraging in the cut flower trade.
Several large wholesale growers told
me that last season's bulb flower trade
was the best they ever had, the season
being well prolonged, owing to an ab-
sence of early heat waves, and prices
compared favorably with those of pre-
ceding years. Country florists who use
their entire cuts at home cannot well
get along without bulbs as a spring
or late winter flower. They appeal to
many buyers more than other green-
house flowers, and the grower who
plants the right varieties, times them
with accuracy, and grows them intelli-
gently has rarely any great trouble in
disposing of his stock. A good cold
cellar in which to hold back stock,
either in flower or partly grown, is
a valuable asset to all bulb growers.

Dntch Bulb Culture.

It is hardly true that bnlbs will grow
in any old soil. They may grow in it.

but they give vastly better results in
more carefully prepared compost. Three
parts well decayed fibrous loam,' one
part dried cow manure passed throi!»gh
a %-inch screen, and sufi^cient sharp
sand to give porosity, makes a good
soil for bulbs. If cow manure is lack-
ing, it is possible to use spent hotbed
manure and mushroom manure. If
these are employed, two parts of loam
can be used to one part of the manure.
If the loam is naturally heavy and reten-
tive, use more sand. Some growers add
leaf-mold to lighten the compost, but
I do not advise its use unless the soil
is naturally heavy.

As a general rule, flats four inches
deep answer well for any bulbs, a con-
venient size being 12x24 inches. Flats
of this size will hold fifty to 100 nar-
cissi, according to their size; sixty to
100 tulips; fifty to seventy-five small-
sized hyacinths; seventy-five Spanish
iris, or sixty to 100 gladioli of the
nanus type. It is an advantage to
have the iris flats an inch deeper than
those used for the other bulbs.

Where should bulbs be placed after
planting f Some prefer to place them
directly in a cellar or pit, others stand
them outdoors, and still others put
them in coldframes, on which sashes
can be placed when cold weather sets
in. All these have advantages and dis-
advantages. I think cellar storage en-

An Unusual View of a Gigantic Greenhouaci that of Davis & Steiner, Ottawa,

tills the^iefst labor and give? the most
satisfactory results.

It is a common error to give the
bulbs a soaking oil water in the cellar
and then tb lea/e them alone until
growth is well started. This is wrong,
and is accountable for most of the
blind bulbs and deformed flowers seen.
Bulbs must b^ kept damp at the roots,
or else returns will be /poor. This is
especially true in fall, /when we have
much hot, dry weather. Bulbs have a
general tendency when growing to
heave the soil in the pans or flats. A
good way to prevent this is to soak
the plants well, and then cover with
sand one or two inches deep. The sand
holds the soil down, and prevents sur-
face drying.

If the bulbs are kept in the open air,
coal ashes can be placed over the sand
as cold weather advances, and later,
straw, leaves or pine needles may be
used as a covering to exclude the frost.

What Nafcissi to Orow.

While the majority of growers need
no advice as to what varieties to grow,
there are many new florists each year,
and the numerous bulb queries received
at The Review office annually show
that a list of varieties will be appre-
ciated by not a few. The most popular
Dutch bulb for cutting is the narcissus.
For a succession of blooms the follow-
ing large trumpet varieties should be
grown: Trumpet major, Single Von
Sioi^ (Spurius), Double Von Sion, Sil-
ver Spur, Golden Spur and Victoria.
The last three named are all good for
pan culture. For such a late Easter
as that of 1916, Victoria and Double
Von Sion will be the best to grow.
Other large trumpets of commercial
value are Emperor, Empress and Mrs.
Walter T. Ware. Of the short trum-
pets. Sir Watkin, the giant Welsh daf-
fodil; Leedsii Mrs. Langtry and poeti-
cv8 oruatus are inexpensive and quite
useful.

Of the polyanthus narcissi, everyone
knows and grows the Paper Whites,
but Double Roman, double yellow, and
Grand Monarque, white with a prim-

■ li. ■^ -

rose cup, aro ^two splendid, sweet-
scented and easily grown varieties.

Best Tulips.

Tulips are not sold as cut flowers to
the same extent as narcissi, but they
have a heavy sale in pans. For early
forcing, La Reine and White Hawk are
fine whites. Yellow Prince forces eas-
ily. Goldfinch and Ophir d'Or come
along later. Thomas Moore is of an
orange color and is sweet-scented. It
is good for cutting, but not good for
pans.- Cottage Maid is the least ex-
pensive of the pinks, but Flamingo and
Queen of the Netherlands are gradu-
ally displacing it. Vermilion Brilliant
is a good scarlet forcer, while (a good
many people like the big, 'showy
Keizerskroon, scarlet bordered, clear
yellow. The double tulips are splendid
for pan culture, especially Murillo,
which is probably the most valuable
florists' tulip of today. It will be the
tulip par ■ excellence to grow for next
Easter. Other good double tulips for
cutting are Brimstone Beauty, a sulphur
yellow Murillo; Crown of Gold, or
Coutonne d'Or, and Imperator Ru-
brorum, scarlet. ']

The Darwin tulips,, ha^e not, until
the last two seasons, been given any
attention for forcing, but some varie-
ties force well and make splendid sub-
jects in pans. As they are naturally
late bloomers, they are worthy of be-
ing more largely planted for so late an
Easter as will come next year. Good
varieties to grow are: Pride of
Haarlem, rosy carmine; Gretchen, some-
times called Margaret, flesh pink;
Glow, vermilion scarlet; La Candeur,
or White Queen, nearly pure white;
Clara Butt, clear pink. The Darwin va-
rieties are all stronger and taller grow-
ers than the early tulips.

Hyadntlia for Cutting.

Hyacinths are not used to a great
extent for cutting. The miniature bulbs
are the best for this purpose, and seem
to be growing in popularity. Good
commercial sorts are Gertrude, pink;
King of the Blues, dark blue; La

t Iu.» in Course of Erectioii.

Grandesse, pure white. If large spikes
are desired, grow first-sized bulbs sing-
ly in 5-inch pots, or three in 6-inch
deep pans. The varieties already
named, with Queen of the Blues, light
blue; L 'Innocence, pure white, and
Moreno, blush, will make a nice assort-
ment. Hyacinth bulbs should be barely
covered. On the other hand, tulips and
narcis^ can be covered a- little deeper.
Use care in watering hyacinths in the
early stages of growth, or else the
spikes will be rotted out wholly or
in part.

AN UNUSUAL PICTURE.

The advent of the steel frame green-
house has caused changes in the meth-
ods of greenhouse erection that have
resulted in some novel sights, one of
which, recently caught by the camera,
is reproduced on this page, ,,It shows
the new house of Davis & Steiner, Ot-
tawa, 111. The structure is 76x900, one
of the largest in the country, and is
being put up by Winandy Bros., from
plans and with material by the Gar-
land Mfg. Co., of Des Plaines, 111. In
the erection of the structure the posts
were first set, six feet six inches to
the eave plates. Then the purlin sup-
ports were set — the house is twenty-
seven feet high at the ridge and there
are only two lines of pipe supports.
The tee-iron rafters connecting the
purlin with the eave went up as the
pipe supports were put in place. When
both outside sections were up the house
presented a most unusual appearance.
The long opening in the center was
closed by a force of men working with
a derrick, as shown in the illustration.
The house covers 68,400 square feet of
space and will be used for cucumbers.

STEM - ROT.

Unusually Prevalent This Year.

Numerous reports, coining from all
directions, indicate that there is an un-
usual amount of stem-rot throughout
the country. The cause of it, no doubt,
is the excessive rainfall through the en- .
tire summer season. Some growers re-
port heavy losses in the field, especially
where the ground lay low and the water
did not drain off readily. In fields
which showed traces of stem-rot the
previous season, there would also be an
increase of the disease during such a
season as this. Others report large
losses in the houses after benching the
plants. These are simply cases of hav-
ing transferred the trouble to the house
before it broke out in the field. In
fact, it was hastened somewhat by the
closer atmosphere in the house. There
is no disease more demoralizing, . per-
haps, than the common wet stem-rot.
Once it gets a fair start in a bench,
under conditions that are favorable to
its development, it soon destroys
enough plants to make the bench un-
profitable. We always expect to lose
a few plants pach year by this disease,
and this loss does not give us any par-
ticular concern. One can readily dis-
tinguish between this mild form of the
disease and the sort that is likely to
get beyond the grower's control. In
the one case you will notice that a
single plant is lost here and there,
showing that the fungus has done its
damage and is gone, being either de-
stroyed or taken ,out with the dead
plant. In the other case whole patches
of plants are gone, and then the grower
is justified in being alarmed and should
resort to heroic treatment.

Preventive Measures in the House.

Just as soon after benching as the
soil gets into workable condition, we
break up the crust that has formed on
top during the period of frequent
syringing. This lets the air into the
soil and has a tendency to retard the
development of the stem-rot fungus.
Then, just as the plants are fairly es-
tablished in the new soil, we give them
a sprinkling of slaked lime, which is
raked into the soil before watering.
Lime is one of the best destroyers of
fungus and it is to destroy any traces
of this disease that we use it at this
time. A little later, perhaps a month
after' benching, we give a thorough
spraying with Bordeaux mixture, also
for the purpose of warding off not only
stem-rot, but other fungous diseases,
such as leaf-spot and fairy ring. This
is repeated after a month, if not needed
sooner.

There is usually most danger of stem-
rot between the time of planting and
whatever date cool weather sets in. If
there is none of the disease then, the
chances are in favor of there not being
any at all. For that reason, the pre-

cautionary methods already described
are followed each year, regardless of
whether there was stem-rot in the field
or not. There is really little more that
could be done, even should a case of
stem-rot get started, except to take out
some of the soil where the dead plant
stood.

Tlie Use of Lime and Sulpbur.

In applying the Bordeaux mixture,
we advise the grower to poke the noz-
zle right into the crown of the plant.
To ward off stem-rot, the material must
be applied to the stems, as that is
where the attack is made. It can be
applied once each week, if deemed
necessary. As soon as firing is started
— and it might pay to start a little
sooner on account of the benefits to b^
derived — a little sulphur, dropped here
and there on one of the heating pipes,
will help to purify the atmosphere and
to make it unhealthy for all kinds of
fungous growth. The fumes will be
given off longer if you n^ake a thick
paint of one-half sulphur and one-half
lime, mixed with water, and paint this
on one of the heating pipes. We have
also found Grape Dust valuable for

dusting over the plants. If it is blown
overhead through a bellows, it will take
the excessive moisture out of the house.
Do not get the idea that to run the
soil dry will help to keep the house
dry and will prove beneficial. The fact
is that when you withhold the water
from the plant, you weaken it and it
will fall an easier prey to the disease
than before. Give the soil enough
water to keep the plants in a good
growing condition, as a vigorous plant
will stand a better chance to fight off
the disease than one that is famished.
Plenty of fresh air is also essential,
but avoid chilly drafts. When firing
on mild nights, have the ventilators
open an inch or two. A. F. J. Baur.

BUDS ROTTING IN CENTER.

We shall greatly appreciate your ad-
vice regarding our carnations. We
have found several Enchantress blooms
that have commenced to rot in the cen-
ter. We do not think this is caused by
too much water, as we only water about
twice a week. C. D. — Mich.

The enclosed bud was badly rotted
when it arrived here. The rotting
might be due to the carnation mite,
which causes the petals to adhere to-
gether. Moisture then collects and rots
the bloom. Begin spraying regularly
with any of the nicotine preparations
and you will soon g^t the trouble under
control. Be sure to burn these rotted
buds as fast as they appear.

MORE ABOUT WORMS ON PERNS.

In our further attempts to eradicate .
the worms on our ferns concerning
which we submitted a query to you,
published on page 14 of the September
9 issue of The Review, we have given
the Nico-Fume paper a thorough test,
and believe the worms can be cleaned
out by using eighteen to twenty papers
to a 20xl00-foot house and continuing
every other night for a period of sixty
to eighty days. We have had spme
success from fumigating one night a
week and have kept it up for some
fifteen weeks, but still have some
worms, though nothing like the number
we had a year ago.

Enclosed you will find a little data
on the fern caterpillar given us by the
Texas Department of Agriculture, to
whom we sent some of the larvae. You
will note what Mr. Millender says
about hellebore. Consequently we are
afraid to try it, as we have a splendid
lot of ferns, and are hand-picking
every fern on the place, as we have
been more or less all summer. There
seems to be an unusual number of
worms right at this time, the same
time they hit us so hard last year, al-
though we have been finding them all
summer.

We trust some one will hit upon a
way to exterminate this pest, for it is
surely a hard one to handle.

Texas Nursery Co.

H. C. Millender, of the Texas Depart-
ment of Agriculture, writes:

"The larva! sent in were fed on
ferns here in the laboratory and have
been hatched. We find that this is the
Florida fern caterpillar (Eriopus flori-
densis), which is reported in U. S. D.
A. Bureau of Entomolgy bulletin No.
125, written by F. H. Crittenden. It
has been reported from Mexico, Guate-
mala, Costa Eica, the Bahamas, Ja-
maica, Cuba, Haiti, Santa Lucia, St.
Vincent, Venezuela, British Guiana,
Brazil, Trinidad and Santo Domingo.
It is reported in the following of the
United States: Illinois, Ohio, Florida
and the District of Columbia. It was
introduced into Florida first, hence the
name.

"Possibly you can find some of the
moths, which are small, about one and
one-eighth inches by one-half inch, be-
neath the benches in the daytime.
These fly at night only. It was report-
ed in the U. S. D. A. yearbook for 1908,

Hellebore, poisoned bait, carbon bisul-
phide and other methods have proved
unsuccessful, as the spray would have
to be strong to affect the caterpillar
and would scald the ferns. The best
remedy offered is the laborious hand-
picking. Shaking the ferns and mash-
ing the caterpillars seems to be the best
remedy. Fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas is advised, but no experiment-
ing has been done with this, and I
would advise you to 'look a little out'
if you decide to try this. This gas is
destructive to tender foliage unless
used correctly."

A HOUSE OF BIRD'S-NEST FERNS.

The Bird's-nest fern came into popu-
larity as a commercial plant in this
country some years ago. Large stocks
of it were raised and it was eagerly
welcomed as a house fern by those with
discriminating taste. Its color, form
and habit of growth were unusual.
Plantsmen felt that the Bird 's-nest fern
was destined to enjoy extensive popu-
larity. Then came the disease that,
starting at the midrib of the leaves,
gradually spread over the entire fern
until it succumbed. So widespread was
the disease that great stocks of the
fern were ruined. iLittle by little the
Bird's-nest fern lost favor, so serious
(was this disease. Nobody wanted to
lool with a sick fern; it seemed better
TO try something else.

Today, however, it seems certain that
the disease has been conquered. Skill-
ful, common-sense methods of growing,
systematically followed, have borne
fruit. The illustration shows the Bird's-
nest fern house of William K. Harris,
of Philadelphia, where there is no dis-
-ease, there has never been any disease
and, the growers confidently predict,
there never will be any disease! This
statement sounds pretty sweeping, but
when a man has spent his life in the
■careful and intelligent cultivation of
plants, when he has been successful and
when he knows pretty nearly what con-
-ditions cause this disease and avoids
them, his word has weight. William K.
Harris earnestly affirms, "We have no
disease." Mark P. Mills goes further.

House of Asplenium Nidt»-avi8 at the Wm. K. Harris Establishment.

with an emphatic gesture of his power-
ful right arm, "We have never had any
disease." John W. Prince corroborates
with earnestness what both speakers
have said.

It is a pretty house to see, that house
of Asplenium Nidus-avis, or, as some
of the experts assert, Asplenium Aus-
tralasicum. But whether the fern be
a native of India or of Australia, it is
a credit to its mother country, with its
erect habit, wavy leaves perfect to the
base and lovely olive green color. No
trace of blemish here. Take those
plants in 6-inch pots, for instance, seed-
lings of little more than a year ago;
they are now perfect specimens, whose
symmetry and finish would grace the
most perfectly appointed home.

I FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS |

Tlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli?

PLANTS FOR SPRING TRADE.

It will soon be time, in the south, to
house stock plants of geraniums, coleus,
verbenas, scarlet sage, etc. Cuttings of
geraniums taken now, potted in 2^-
inch pots and placed in a coldframe in
the full sun, will root nicely before
frost. If the cuttings are a little hard,
so much the better. Water thoroughly
at first and thereafter keep a little dry
until rooted. The geranium cuttings
will need sash protection in case of
rain; otherwise many will damp off.
Cuttings of coleus, verbenas and helio-
tropes will root now in sand. Enough
of these can be made and planted out
on a bench to give cuttings for spring
trade. The scarlet sage can be lifted
from the field, cut back and planted in
a bench, where it will give many cut-
lings in a short time. Cuttings of

scarlet sage seem to give better satis-
faction than seedlings. Cannas, dah-
lias and gladioli, in many sections of
the south, are left in the ground all
winter, but in the northern sections it
is best to lift and store them. While
the frost would hardly injure them, the
rains cause a big loss by rotting many
of them. L.

SOUTHERN CARNATION FIELDS.

Now that carnations in the south are
all housed, growers should begin to
prepare the field to receive the young
plants next spring. If there are any
poor spots in the field, give them a
coating of stable manure; then plow up
the whole field and sow it down with a^
cover crop of some kind, such as rye,'
wheat or clover, which can be plowed
under in the spring. These crops pre-

vent leaching during the winter's rains
and add considerable to the soil fer-
tility. L.

DUTCH BULBS IN THE SOUTH.

As Easter is late next year, it will
be a hard problem to keep any of the
Dutch bulbs for that occasion in any
section of the south. In those sections
where there is a chance to hold them
for Easter, I would advise keeping the
hyacinths, tulips and Narcissus Em-
peror anfj Empress until well into De-
cember L fore boxing or potting, thus
retarding them as much as possible.
The bulbs intended for winter blooming
may be boxed off, as usual, in October,
and covered in coldframes, which are
preferable to cellars. The bulbs must
be extra well rooted before being
brought into a forcing temperature. In
the south the middle of January is
soon enough to bring in the first tulips
and hyacinths, while Golden Spur and
Campernelle narcissi may be brought in
two or three weeks earlier.

There are many sections of the south
where narcissi are grown in quantity
in private gardens, and in those sec-
tions it behooves the grower to have
his narcissi in flower and disposed of
before the outdoor ones bloom. Along
the gulf coast, hyacinths and tulips are
much of a gamble. In favorable, cool
seasons they will do well, particularly
hyacinths, but should the season hap-
pen to be a little warm, they are a
total loss. It is not often that this
occurs, yet the menace is serious enough
to prevent speculation. L.

AMEBIOAK BOSS SOCIETT.

PreparatioDS for the Cleveland flower
show are progressing and it seems as
though there is likely to be consider-
able of an exhibition there. The in-
terest in the rose exhibit is developing.
Two more special prizes have been of-
fered, one from Storrs & Harrison of
$25, and another of $10 for the pret-
tiest vase of cut roses, the decision to
be made by a vote of lady visitors.

, There will also be a meeting of the
Ajmerican Rose Society held at that
time in the Coliseum. An executive com-
mittee meeting will be held in New
York city October 11.

Albert Pochelon, 153 Bates street,
Detroit, who is secretary of the
P, T. D., is preparing to print a Direc-
tory of Betail Florists, but has not yet
decided on the scope of the work. In
a circular to members Secretary
Pochelon says:

"Here is a chance for all members
of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery to
show how much interest they have in
their association. What you and I
need in our stores very much is a cor-
rect list of the best retailers around
the country, even if they are not mem-
bers or do not intend to become mem-
bers at the present time, but we want
the names of retailers where we have
no representatives and do not wish to
send our orders to a nurseryman, pri-
vate gardener or a party who has not
been m business for five or ten years.

"This directory will only be good
and valuable to all our members if you
cooperate with me and send me the ad-
dresses of the best retail flower shops
within a radius of 100 to 200 miles
from your store, or any part of the
country.

"I have at the present time a list
of nearly 2,000 retailers aside from our
membership. All these are doing busi-
ness today, as far as I know, but be-
fore having this directory printed I
want to get your list of names, so I
may check them up with mine or add
the ones my list lacks. Please return
your list a^ soon as possible; do not
lay it aside, but make it out at once.
A busy season is before us and we all
want to share in it."

OYSTEE BAY, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Oyster Day Horticultural Society was
held in Fireman's hall September 22.
President Joseph Robinson presided.
Geo. Alcock was elected to active and
George Hastings to associate member-
ship.

The exhibition tables were well filled
with fruit, flowers and vegetables.
Messrs. Gale, Duckham and Ford
turned in the following report, which
was read and accepted: Society's prize,
six tomatoes, Charles Milburn; soci-
ety's prize, twelve dahlias, James
Duthie; society's prize, six apples,
James Duthie; dahlias, honorable men-
tion, John Sorosick; dahlias, Joseph
Bobinson, honorable mention; two vases

of society; vase of marigold, Charles
Milburn, honorable mention; eighteen
varieties roses, David Hothersall, cul-
tural certificate; vase of gladioli, Alfred
"Walker, honorable mention; celery, A.
Yanuchi, honorable mention.

Prizes were received from I. Hicks &
Son, Frost & Bartlett Co., and
Yaughan's Seed Store.

Exhibits for the next meeting will be
three chrysanthemums in one variety,
two cauliflower, three celery.

The dahlia show to be held October
5 and 6 bids fair to be the best in the
history of the society. Schedules for
the dahlia and chrysanthemum shows
to be held November 2 are now ready.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

A decided change was noted in the
market last week. . Asters are practi-
cally gone, gladioli and dahlias are
past their prime and lilies are scarce,
so the balance of the cut stock to be
had has taken a brace. Carnations are
not plentiful as yet. Good stock, though
short in stem, brings $2 per hundred.
Boses are off crop, but the quality is
good for this season. A few yellow and
white mums are to be had and these
clean up on sight.

Bowling at the Show.

The secretaries of the florists' clubs
at Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, New York,
Rochester, Denver, Albany, Cincinnati,
Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Columbus, Houston, Toronto, Indian-
apolis, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneap-
olis, Kansas City, Louisville and
Toledo, have been sent a letter by C. J.
Graham, chairman of the local bowling
committee, stating that "during the
week of our big flower show we intend
to hold a national bowling tournament.
As the S. A. F. tournament this year
was not well attended by the florists
from the eastern and central states, we
believe our tournament will be more
than welcomed by the bowlerS of the
trade. We extend a cordial invitation
to your city to enter one five-man
team, as well as singles, in this tourna-
ment. Liberal prizes will be offered."

The first leg of the Florists' Club's
eliminative tournament was rolled Mon-
day evening, September 20, at Polster's
alleys. The results follow:

of 1,657, or 184 average.

The final three games will be bowled
October 11, at Erie alleys, when the
five high men for nine games will con-
stitute the team that will represent
Cleveland in the flower show tourna-
ment.

Various Notes.

M. A. Vinson, of the flower show
committee, has gone east in the interest
of the show.

Frank Ritzenthaler, who has been
dangerously ill for ten days, shows
slight improvement.

L. F. Darnell, for twenty-seven years-
with the J. M. Gasser Co., retires Octo-

ber 1. With Mrs. Damdll he will go on
a trip to the east and south for the win-
ter. He has no definite plans for the
future. Our prediction is that he will
not be able to stand many months of
idleness.

Charles Schmitt met with a serious
accident while traveling through the
country on his motorcycle. He was
struck by a heavy wagon and is laid up
in a hospital at Geneva, O.

PBOVIDENCE, B. L

f The Market.

Business has shown a slight better-
ment during the week and the appear-
ance of the chrysanthemums promises
to encourage and stimulate the im-
proved conditions and a steady increase
in volume is expected. Asters are on
the wane, most of the growers having
made their final cuts of field-grown
stock. Gladioli are also taking their
last call for the season and will soon
be but a memory. Roses are coming
in better quantity and quality and
prices have stiffened slightly. The ad-
vance cuts of carnations are making
their appearance and promise good
crops.

cbarge of a gun. Mr. O'Hara owned
the Beibe greenhouses, on School street,
Webster. W. H. M.

HOTT-LY MUSINQS.

Holm & Olson, of St. Paul, Minn.,
have had some fine blooms of Qeisha
dahlias on sale, measuring fully nine
inches across and of exquisite color.
They were in good demand. The land-
scape department has exceeded its
most sanguine expectations and bids
fair to become the largest branch of
the business, owing to the large terri-
tory covered.

C. G. Anderson, of the Minneapolis
Floral Co., Minneapolis, is keeping up
the excellent reputation he made at
Morton Grove, 111., and looks for good
business the coming winter.

Rice Bros., the supply house of Min-
neapolis, are busy, although many lines
are later than usual in moving.

Crosse, Wis., finds some call for early
chrysanthemums, the recent bad weath-
er having put many outdoor flowers
out of the running.

Holton & Hunkel, Milwaukee, Wis.,
find the sale of Hoosier Beauty stead-
ily increasing. The good qualities of
this rose are becoming better known.
New cuts of other roses are arriving
in fine condition and sales are improv-
ing.

The C. 0. PoUworth Co., Milwaukee,
has no complaints to make regarding
business. Both consignments and out-
going shipments are increasing.

The Currie Bros. Co., Milwaukee, is
making a good display of bulbs and
cut fiowers, following a good season
in the seed department.

Gimbel Bros., Milwaukee, have g^ven
more space to the cut flower depart-
ment, which is in charge of A. H. Mac-
Donald, who styles himself a "flower-
craftsman."

Van Bochove , & Bro., Kalamazoo,
Mich., are making improvements at
their store by installing mirrors the
entire length of one side, giving the
impression that the store is much wider.
John Van Bochove has returned from
his duck hunt, minus the ducks. He
will return later for bigger game,
moose.

Alfred Hannah & Sons, Grand Bap-
ids, Mich., are cutting the new crops of
roses and carnations. The demand fo'r
them is good.

Henry Smith, of Grand Bapids, has
disposed of considerable stock through
his advertisements and has a full line
grown especially for the store.

W. M.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Business last week took on a little
■purt on account of the fall opening of
the general merchandise stores. A big
demand was felt for decorative plants
such as palms, bays and boxwood,
Boston ferns, etc. Not many cut flowers
were used for the occasion.

Local florists report that trade is
normal. All look forward to a good fall
and winter business. Indications point
that way, with the addition of two
more florists' stores.

Various Nrtes.

The new stores are in the downtown
district. One will be a branch which

the Dayton Jj'loral Co. will open in the
million dollar Miami hotel. The other
store, located on South Main street, was
opened a few days ago by the Advance
Floral Co., of 47 Arcade Market. The
interior is harmoniously decorated, the
walls being covered with birch bark,
and the ceiling with white lattice and
artificial vines. E. E. Schaefer will
manage the store, with MisQ Alice
Heckman as assistant. The new enter-
prise has the best wishes for success
from brother florists.

The old central market house has
been overhauled, painted, and new con-
crete floors put in. The formal opening
took place one week ago. The building
was decorated with palms, bays and
smilax. The decorating was done by
the Dayton Floral Co. This building
is used by several florists.

A few mums are to be seen, but the
quality is generally poor. The Advance
Floral Co. has some extra fine blooms
of Pacific Supreme.

Carnations are improving, but roses
are not up to standard yet. Easter
lilies seem to be shortening up also.

^r^:

Mrs. Sarah L. Steinberger, after
an illness of three months, is dead at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella
Downey, of Dayton. Mrs. Steinberger
was the mother of William Phebus.
Mrs. Phebus has a greenhouse north-
west of Dayton, growing a general line
of cut flowers for the market.

Henry Ehrhardt, of Sidney, O., was
a visitor in Dayton last week.

BEADING, PA.

The Market.

Increasing business is the report of
the local florists. The summer has
proved to be one of the best in funeral
work, one firm stating that this partic-
ular item was as large as at any time
during the winter season. Many orders
for decorations were executed by a
large number of local firms last week,
for the combined openings of the de-
partment stores. Every firm received
a share of the orders, many of them
being compelled to purchase large
blocks of palms to meet the demand.

Cut flowers were plentiful, with the
exception of asters, which were ruined
by the excessive heat of the week. This
was much regretted, as the blooms
were the best ever seen in this locality.
Flowers four to six inches in size were
nothing unusual. Carnations have
made their appearance and are of good
quality, the pinks predominating.
Dahlias are more plentiful and sell well.

Various Notes.

Business at the two shops of John
Giles is reported as being satisfactory.
Many orders for handsome decorations
were filled last week. Irvin Giles is
spending his vacation at Niagara Falls.

Layton Butts, of Wyomissing, is cut-
ting roses in large numbers. Sunburst
is the most popular.

Lee Arnold, of "Wyomissing, has
started carnation cutting and is supply-
ing the market with high-grade blooms.

Visitors last week were T. J. Nolan,
of the King Construction Co., North
Tonawanda, N. Y., and E. M. Reed, rep-
resenting the Keller Pottery Co., Nor-
ristown. Pa. H. C. H.

Andrew Dorward had on exhibition a
large vase of Solidago Golden Wings,
for which the society's certificate of
merit was awarded. W. H. M.

SOBANTON, PA.

NEWPORT, B. I.

A greenhouse, 24x84 feet, costing
$4,500, is being erected on the estate
of Eleanor Elkin Widener, on Cog-
geshall avenue.

William H. Maher, of Coggeshall ave-
nue, who has been seriously ill for some
time, is reported to be about the same.

Andrew K. McMahon, treasurer of
the Newport Horticultural Society, was
a member of the Bhode Island delega-
tion of Grand Army men to attend the
big reunion in Washington, D. C.

Cornelius Lyne, a gardener, was in-
stantly killed September 23, at the rail-
road crossing at Long Wharf, by being
struck by a train.

Carl Oberheitman, with Wadley &
Smythe, accompanied by his wife, left
September 25 for a trip through the
Berkshires and White mountains, be-
fore resuming his work in New York.

Although the storm and the cold snap
were detrimental, the annual dahlia
show held September 23 and 24
under the auspices of the New-
port Horticultural Society and the
Newport Garden Association, on the
latter 's grounds, was a success. There
were thirty classes and competition was
keen in all of them. The judges for
tVe society's classes were Bruce But-
terton, Henry Redmond and Andrew
Dorward.

At the regular meeting of the New-
port Horticultural Society, with Presi-
dent William McKay presiding, the of-
fer of a silver cup from the John
Scheepers Co., of New York, to be
awarded at the society's midsummer
show next year for a display of bulb-
ous plants, was accepted with thanks.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade is improving slowly, with indi-
cations that it will soon be about/nor-
mal. Up to the present time it has
been considerably below last year.
Stock is becoming more plentiful daily.
Carnations are better and the quantity
is about equal to the demand. The
stems are of fair length and the qual-
ity good as a rule. Red is the only
color that does not meet the demand.

Roses are of fine quality and are
keeping about even with the demand.
Richmond, Ophelia, Sunburst, Killarney
and White Killarney are favorites.
Beauties are scarce and demand is
rather light for them.

Asters are nearly gone and those left
are of inferior grade. Mums are show-
ing up nicely and about the only kinds
on the market at present are Smith's
Advance and Golden Glow. By the end
of this week we are promised some
Chrysolora of good qu^ity. It will
not be long until we have plenty of
several varieties. The public is calling
for them now. |

' Valley is scarce and the demand quite
heavy at times. The outdoor flowers
are almost gone and the public will
have to depend on indoor stock from
now on.

The demand for ferns has been in-
creasing and several of the stores are
having special sales on them. There
is little in the way of blooming plants
at present, with the demand increasing
ilaily for potted stock in bloom.

Various Notes.

The Munk Floral Co. is cutting its
first mums and reports that business is
looking up some.

The Livingston Seed Co. has been
handling some fine carnations for this
time of year.

The Block-Crane Co. is doing business
again, after being closed during the
dull season.

Charles A. Roth reports business fair
at the greenhouses and says they get
a good many orders over the telephone
from old customers.

Reports from Sherman F. Stephens
indicate that he is gaining right along
now.

Underwood Bros, have been busy
lately with funeral work.

T. .7. Ludwig is still handling quite
a quantity of gladioli to good advan-
tage.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting some good roses and carnations
and has been cutting Smith's Advance
mums for the last week or two. This
firm is installing a smoke consumer at
its Fifth avenue plant, which not only
will make things cleaner about the
neighborhood, but is expected to effect
a saving in fuel. .1. M.

In its first appearance in competition
at the Ohio state fair, this year,
Hardesty & Co., of this city, won five
premiums, one on everything entered.
The firm considers the record the more
noteworthy because it competed against
concerns much older and with greater
experience in competition at the state
fair.

The Market.

This city and vicinity were visited
September 22 by the first frost of the
season, which did eonsiderable damage
to outdoor crops. The rural districts
suffered most, tomatoes, corn, grapes,
etc., being frostbitten. Business
dropped off considerably during the
week. There was a little funeral work
and a few small weddings, which kept
some of the florists busy. We are re-
ceiving fine dahlias. Carnations are ar-
riving in large quantities, but they are
not much in demand. Good valley is
scarce.

Club Meeting.

The season's first meetihg of the
Scranton Florists' Club was held at the
Schultheis store September 24. Presi-
dent T. B. McClintock presided. There
was a good attendance and much busi-
ness was transacted. It was decided to
hold a spring flower show in 1916. A
committee was appointed to look into
cooperative advertising in the daily
newspapers. The next meeting will be
held October 15, at the A. L. Besancon
& Co. store. All members are requested
to attend, as arrangements will be
made for the fall and winter season.
Officers will be nominated for the en-
suing year. F. J. Moran was elected
to membership.

Various Notes.

Miss Anna Griffiths had the decora-
tions for the Stein wedding last week.
The bride carried a shower bouquet of
white roses, orchids and valley. The
maid of honor carried Sunburst roses
and the bridesmaid had Shawyer roses.

Arthur Evans, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,
was a business caller last week. He
reports good business for last month.
Ira G. Marvin also was a visitor last
week.

On a visit to the T. B. McClintock
greenhouses I saw the finest chrysan-
themums in the city. Mr. McClintock
is cutting a large quantity of carna-
tions daily. His outdoor coleus were
nipped by the frost of last week.

Baldwin reports a number of large
wedding decorations booked for Octo-
ber. The store had an attractive win-
dow display of mums last week.

G. R. Clark received his first ship-
ment of Dutch bulbs last week, but his
French bulbs have not yet arrived.
Miss Loftus has returned from a sum-
mer spent at Moosic lake.

J. T. Cokely has returned from a
successful trip through the east.

D. W. Evans expects to cut his first
chrysanthemums this week. He is har-
vesting some nice carnations.

F. W. Mackey reports a heavy call
for Boston and Whitmani ferns. He
has a good crop of cactus dahlias.

Mrs. A. F. Conwell, of Lincoln ave-
nue, reports a fair week of funeral or-
ders. She is erecting a good-sized
greenhouse. F. J. M.

New Haven, Ind. — By a freak of for-
tune a tornado September 10 flattened
out two new houses of the Ne^ Haven
Floral Co. without doing any damage
to the older houses. By tall hustling
the two houses have been rebuilt with
the same material, so that labor is the
only loss, and are now half planted.
This addition gives the concern 50,000
feet of glass in roses, carnations and
mums. H. J. C. Leitz is manager.

OBITUARY

William Murphy.

William Murphy, who has always
given a hand in promoting the success
of events arranged by Cincinnati flo-
rists, is dead at his home on Pine Hill,
in that city. Death came September
27, after an illness of one year.

The Fourth of July, fifty-eight years
ago, was the day of Mr. Murphy's
birth. At that time his parents were
living on a farm near Quincy, 111. The
family removed to Cincinnati in 1866.
The boy worked in his father's vege-
table gardens until, as a young man,
he got a start growing bedding plants
and cut flowers for the market. While
still in his twenties he opened a green-
house. He made a specialty of carna-
tions and was a grower for flfteen
years before establishing the wholesale
commission business which ho has
owned since.

Mr. Murphy took a prominent part
in all florists' activities and at different
times has filled offices in the Cincin-
nati Florists' Society and other organi-
zations. He was secretary of the Cin-
cinnati society for several years. He
was a charter member of the S. A. F.,
and at the time of its silver anniver-
sary meeting in Cincinnati he was
superintendent of the trade's display.
He belonged to the American Carna-
tion Society also. In his spare time
and vacations Mr. Murphy devoted him-
self to what he called his hobby — life in
the open. He was known as a skilled
woodsman and, like most men who love
the out-of-doors, he was big hearted,
generous, and his friends were legion.

Mrs. Murphy, four daughters, and his
son, W. Ray Murphy, survive him. His
son will conduct the business at 329
Main street in the future.

Oust^ve A. Navlet.

Gustave A. Navlet, of Eureka, Cal.,
brother of Charles C. Navlet, well
known nurseryman of San Jose, Cal.,
died at his home September 16, after
an illness of several months. The de-
ceased was a native of France and only
in his forty-second year. For a num-
ber of years he conducted a florists*
business at Sacramento, Cal., and seven
years ago moved to Eureka, in Hum-
boldt county, where he opened a flower
shop. Mr. Navlet 's death was unex-
pected and caused a severe shock to
his many friends. Burial was made
September 19. H. S. G.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Market.

There was a general scarcity of stock
of all kinds last week, due to the sud-
den change in the temperature, which
produced frost in the low places.
Prices advanced to quite an extent.
Asters are gone and dahlias are not
good. The heat of the previous week
caused the buds to mature so quickly
that there are only about ten per cent
of the dahlias that usually are to be
had at this season of the year. There
is still a marked scarcity of white roses
and the prices are running from $2 to
$6 per hundred. It is difficult to get
any quantities in the higher grades, as
the stock is not up to par. The scar-

William Murphy.

city is more pronounced by reason of an
increased amount of funeral work
which has prevailed during the last ten
days. The pink roses are of better
quality and are moving quite well.
American Beauty roses are being re-
ceived in excellent shape and are whole-
saling at from $1 to $3 per dozen, with
sales good. Cattleya labiata is more
plentiful and is selling at from $6 to $7
per dozen. Spray orchids are offered,
but "with few takers. Carnations do
not yet figure in the market, although
some of those being received are of
more than fair quality. There is plenty
of valley to be had and the sale of this
is better than it has been by reason of
the many wedding orders now being
filled. Chrysanthemums are not yet up
to standard.

Various Notes.

The Leo Niessen Co., 1214 H street,
northwest, is putting its new automo-
bile delivery car into operation this
week. The car is dark blue in color,
with the name and address of the firm
and the words "Wholesale Florists"
in gold letters. Mr. Schnell is well
pleased with the machine, as it will
enable him to make quicker deliveries.

The Dunbar Floral Co., of Alexandria,
Va., is sending to the Leo Niessen Co.
some fine Hadley and Killarney roses.
This firm has also a house of excep-
tionally good American Beauty roses,
from which it is cutting.

David G. Grillbortzer, of Alexandria,
Va., is marketing some good young-
stock Ophelia roses.

Several of the downtown florists

decorated their windows for entrance
into the Betail Merchants' Association
window trimming contest. The prizes
were three handsome loving cups.
Among the windows viewed by the com-
mittee of judges were those of the Gude
Bros. Co. and Z. D. Blackistone. All
of the florists made a showing of flags
and bunting during the week in honor
of the G. A. B., which held its en-
campment from September 27 to
October 2.

Among the visitors in Washington
last week were Admiral Aaron Ward,
Samuel 8. Pennock, of the S. S.
Pennock - Meehan Co., Philadelphia,
president of the American Rose So-
ciety, and Robert Pyle, who came here
September 24 for the purpose of mak-
ing an inspection of the rose garden
at Arlington Farm. They were met
by William F. Gude, national repre-
sentative of the S. A. F. All expressed
their pleasure at the start that has been
made, but regretted the fact that the
garden is not yet fully planted. It
was agreed that a general appeal should
bo made at an early date to all of the
rosarians of the country to furnish
roses for the planting of at least half
of the garden. C. L. L.

Mrs. J. A, Philipps, the "flower lady
of Fourteenth street," is enjoying the
Pacific coast trip she won' in the recent
Lyric theater contest. During her ab-
sence, Mr. Philipps will have charge
of the store, at Fourteenth and Harvard
streets, northwest.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

It is the concern that is pushing ahead
that is the target for the shafts of its
business rivals. You never note anyone
bothering himself about the competitor
who is on the down grade.

Proof sheets of the final premium list
for the Cleveland fall show have reached
The Review. Intending exhibitors can
procure copies of the list by address-
ing the executive office of the show,
356 Leader building, Cleveland.

While carnation plants in the field
seem to have reveled in the moist
weather, and there are large quantities
of surplus stock, the loss after housing
is unusually heavy this year. Stem-rot
is rife and seems to be on the increase.

THE LONG PANTS.

I have read with interest the account
of The Review's first year in long
pants. That the pants were well
creased is plainly evident by the
straight lines pursued, and that they
still carry the creases is proven by the
continued improvement of The Review.
Your position, ensconced as you are, up
and above the hurly-burly, can be lik-
ened to that of Old King Sol. Even as
Old Sol draws water from the mighty
oceans by his rays, so you gather your
information from all parts of this busy
sphere, analyze and clarify it, and pre-
sent it in a most acceptable form to
your host of interested readers.

Walter Mott.

THOSE BELGL/^N PLANTS.

Possibly no subject at present holds
more interest for the trade than does
the question of the prompt arrival of
the autumn imports from Belgium via
Holland, especiallylihe azaleas. In this
connection McHutchison & Co., New
York, made the following announce-
ment September 23:

"With regard to fall shipments of

azaleas and other plants from Bel«

glum, we have been in constant cable

communication with our connections in

Belgium, Holland and London, but the

arrangements have been made and up-

set^so often that we feared to make any

definite statement. Now we can say

definitely that fall shipments will come.

We review briefly the changes as fol-

loT^rs:

1. From June to August the shlpmenta were
included with the British Order in Council goods,
and sliipments were embargoed by the BritUb
authorities and could not leave.

'2. Pnrlng August, all arrangements were made
with the British authorities; the embargo was
lifted; permits were given to ludivldual Belgian
shippers on the understanding that payments
for the shipments be made in England before the
shipments left Belgium.

3. Early in September, when shipments were
ready to leave, the German authorities, learning
that proceeds would not go directly Into Bel-
gium, prevented sliipments from leaving Belgium.

4. Now arrangements have been made with
both the German and PritlHh authorities, and
shipments are leaving Belgium.

"The above refers exclusively to our
own shipments; we cannot speak for
all" Belgian shippers, or all American
consignees. Within a few days we
expect to be able to advise you what
Belgian shipments have already left
Rotterdam."

MOBE TEBMINAL INSPECTION.

The state of Arizona, following the
lead of California, has provided for the
terminal inspection of plants entering
the state via the mails and the Post-
office Department has issued an order
putting the regulations into effect, in
which it is stated that "all postmasters
are, therefore, informed that packages
containing plants or plant products ad-
dressed to places in the state of Ari-
zona may be accepted for mailing only
when plainly marked so that the con-
tents may be readily ascertained by an
inspection of the outside thereof. The
law makes the failure so to mark such
packages an offense punishable by a
fine of not more than $100.

"The plants and plant products sub-
ject to terminal inspection in the state
of Arizona are described as follows:

" 'All florists' stock, trees, shrubs,
vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds,
fruit pits and other seeds of fruit and
ornamental trees or shrubs* and other

plants and plant products for propag^
tion, except "vegetable and flower
seeds.' "

The postmaster at the point of ad-
dress notifies the addressee, who sup;
plies postage for sending the parcel to
and from the nearest of the seven in-
spection offices. Failing to receive the
postage, the postmaster returns th«
parcel to the sender.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHEB.

► Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U, 8. Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, September 29, 1915:

For the Region of the Great
Lakes — The week will be one
of generally fair and cool
weather, except that rains are
probable Friday or Saturday
and in the extreme northwestern por-
tion at the beginning of the week.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — Generally fair and cool
weather will prevail through the
greater part of the week, except that
local rains are probable at the begin-
ning of the week in the extreme upper
Mississippi valley.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
Overcast weather the first half of the
week, with rains Thursday and Friday;
the latter half of the week will be gen-
erally fair.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Market conditions during the last
week have been unusually satisfactory.
Practically everything has been on the
short side, with prices stiffening ap-
preciably. Quality, too, has played a
part in the change for the better, as
it is much improved. The cold weather
has given a good tone to the stock, and
there has not been enough dark weath-
er to affect the color. The shipping
trade is decidedly active and the loctJ
trade, though far from that, is show-
ing increasing signs of ^ life.

Beauties are scarce and the demand
for them is correspondingly keen.
Those on the market are of excellent
quality and show good color. Prices
are up and stock is clearing in a satis-
factory manner.

The supply of roses 'continues short,
but the quality steadily improves as
the receipts fall off. Russell, always in
the greatest demand, is so scarce that
some difficulty is experienced in filling
orders. Ophelia is perhaps next in de-
mand, with a slightly larger supply.
Milady, also, is far from plentiful and
meets with a steady call. Killarneys
are of particularly good color. White
Killarney, though not enjoying as
strong a demand as the others, is still
good property. Sunburst sells well.

Carnations are decidedly scarce and,
the time of the year and the weather
conditions considered, they are of good
quality. September 25 and 26 it was
difficult for one wholesale house to get
good carnations from another, so pro-
nounced was the shortage. The re-
ceipts of gladioli have fallen off sharp-
ly. Accordingly, local prices on good
stock have gone up. Many houses re-
port the demand still good, though the
quality of the stock is negative. The
supply of asters is diminishing every
day. The late varieties from the north

are being received and a marked im-
provement in the flowera is noticeable.
Dahlias are few, but this fact fails to
add to their popularity. The cold and
the recent heavy rains have about fin-
ished the outdoor stock.

Easter lilies are meeting with a bet-
ter demand than usual. The quality is
good and the supply is by no means
plentiful. Eubrums are moving fairly
well, but the supply, though not large,
is yet sufficient for the demand. The
demand for valley is still evenly met
by the supply.

So far, this has been a poor season
for chrysanthemums. The excessively
rainy weather has had a bad effect on
the quality, and the demand has been
weak. The supply has decreased during
the last week; the earliest batches of
Golden Glow, Smith 's Advance and
October Frost are about cut off and
the second batches are not yet quite
ready. Eastern cattleyas have relieved
the scarcity of orchids and forced a
fall in prices.

Greens are moving nicely, with an in-
creasingly strong demand for plumosus
sprays.

The November Show.

The publicity committee announces
that recent appointments include a
committee of ways, means and audit,
with Peter Reinberg as chairman. The
other members of this committee, so far
appointed, are C. L. "Washburn, Philip
Schupp, George Reinberg, N. J. Wietor,
F. Hoerber, A. L. Randall, E. C.
Amling, Ed. Meuret, J. H. Kidwell and
Emil Buettner. August Poehlmann has
been elected treasurer.

The committee on lectures has W. J.
Keimel for chairman and it is proposed
to arrange for an elaborate series, cov-
ering subjects of public interest, with
stereopticon views, this having been
one of the taking features at previous
Coliseum shows.

H. B. Kennicott, as chairman of the
press committee, is at work with his
assistants preparing material for an
elaborate publicity campaign in the
daily newspapers.

Guy W. French, chairman of the Flo-
rists' Club's special premiums commit-
tee, reports highly satisfactory results
from his first day's canvass.

Arrangements are undier way for an
elaborate display of vegetables, in
which various nearby horticultural or-
ganizations, such as those of Ijake
Geneva, Lake Forest, Winnetka, etc.,
will be the contestants.

A. I. Simmons has been appointed
chairman of committee on music.

August Koch has been appointed
chief of the information bureau.

Various Notes.

As a result of the confusion at-
tendant on the congested condition of
traffic at Randolph street and Wabash
avenue, Robert Huehnchen, father of
Ida Mayer, proprietor of the Hum-
boldt Florist, 2509 West North ave-
nue, was struck by an automobile and
his head quite severely bruised. An
ambulance was called at once, but Mr.
Huehnchen declined to enter it, so he
was conveyed to his home in a taxi.
He is suffering much discomfort, but
it is believed he has sustained no se-
rious injury.

Not only the Belgian azaleas but the

ditions are reported as much better
than a year ago.

The amalgamation banquet of the

The Chrysanthemum Society of
America announced last week that it
had again appointed N. J. Wietor chair-
man of its Chicago committee to pass
on seedlings. The other members of
the local committee are George Asmus
and William Tricker. The committee
will meet each Saturday during Octo-
ber and November.

After a tour lasting almost four
months, Albert Amling, Mrs. Amling
and their sons, Paul and Walter, are
again at their home at Maywood. They
started out June 3 in their automobile
and made a trip to the cities of the
Pacific northwest, thence down the

coast to San Diego and home over the
southern route.

There promises to be a fine lot of
special prizes for the fall flower show.
W. J. Keimel and Guy French, presi-
dent and secretary of the Florists'
Club, have taken it upon themselves to
interview the trade. Among others,
the A. L. Randall Co. gave them a pair
of tall vases worth $50 and the E. C.
Amling Co. contributed a pair of silver
cups.

The early chrysanthemums have
turned out a profitable crop for Peter
Reinberg this season. The early batch
of Golden Glow was cut out last week
and Smith's Advance now is in good
request.

With a carbuncle back of his left

The first sweet peas of the season
were picked at H. Wehrman's place

in Maywood September 28. He expects
to make daily shipments from now till
summer comes again.

C. J. Strombach was in the market
September 27, purchasing flowers for
the funeral of his son-in-law, H. W.
Harris, who died at Wilmette Septem-
ber 25, aged 47. The funeral was held
September 28, interment being at Rose-
hill. Mr. Strombach, though now 73
years of age, still is actively engaged
in gardening, having worked up a pros-
perous landscape business at Wilmette
since his retirement after many years
of service at Lincoln park.

no reason to complain of the returns
this season.

The decorations for the style show
at the Auditorium last week were han-
dled by George Weiland, of Evanston,
secretary of the Chicago Flower Grow-
ers' Association.

The executive committee of the fall
flower show has appointed H. B. Ken-
nicott chairman of the press commit-
tee. He has selected to assist him:
R. E. Brenton, vice-chairman; James
Morton, E. Olinger and H. Nichols. An
active campaign will be waged under
the direction of Mr. Brenton.

P. W. Peterson, superintendent of the
Thompson Carnation Co., states that it
is planned to run an excursion car to
Joliet during the November flower show
to give the visitors a chance to see the
largest exclusive carnation establish-
ment in the country and especially a
chance to see Aviator growing.

A unique thing was done last week
when the Fleischman Floral Co. invest-
ed in about 200 lines of costly space
in The Tribune to tell the public that
the Japanese garden in its east window
has been sold for shipment in a
few days to Italy. Look quick!

Allie Zech and Matbias Mann, of Zech

ant and highly interesting day.

Sixty-six hundred miles in a Saxon

In spite of adverse weather condi-
tions, Fred Schramm, of Park Ridge,
a member of the Chicago Flower Grow-
ers' Association, has at length finished
benching his carnations.

By way of a reminder, N. P. Miller,
secretary of the executive committee
of the fall flower show, wishes to an-
nounce that each member, in good
standing, of the Chicago Florists' Club,
will receive for himself and one a sea-
son pass to the Chicago Grand Floral
Festival, to be held next November.

There are alarming reports of stem-
rot among the carnations, the disease
appearing to be more prevalent than
ever before. Certain growers who
benched what they considered unusually
fine plants now find themselves with a
large part of their stock dead or dis-
eased and are up against a tough
problem.

The recent advertising campaign
conducted in The Review by the Geo.
Wittbold Co., offering sales cooperation
to florists, has met with signal success.
The plan was originated by Payne Jen-
nings & Co. It will be enlarged upon
in the future.

Within the week a number of local
growers have received Dutch bulbs that
came over ob the last trip of the Ryn-
dam, the boat that lost a couple of
its crew when they entered the hold
at Hoboken. The story was that the
men were overcome by the fumes of
the "lily" bulbs. However that may
be, the Chicago growers find some of
the stock badly heated.

Visitors.

Hugo Schroeter, Detroit correspond-
ent for The Review, was in town last
week, on his annual buying trip, the
two Schroeter stores, those of father
and son, now being operated in close
relationship. Mr. Schroeter comes to
town at about this date each year, look-
ing principally for good short and me-
dium Beauties. This time, to use his
expression, he "ran his legs off" with-
out getting all he wanted and used a
considerable number of Russell and
Milady instead.

A WIBE FROM HEADQUABTEBS.

"You not only spoil one floral
piece when you use a poor Wire De-
sign, but- that one poor piece may
make a buyer stop trading at our
store," said the old man. The con-
versation, at this point, was inter-
rupted by the entrance of two well
dressed women. "No, Mrs. Jones,"
said the younger to her friend, "I
won't buy from Blank, The Florist,
again. Did you happen to go to the
Stones' funeral?"

"Yes, I was there."

"Well, did you see that large
standing Wreath of Pink Roses,
placed in the corner of the room
behind th«» casket?"

•'Yes, why?"

"Our club paid $45.00 for that
Wreath. Well, Mr. Blank selected
some beautiful pink Roses, with
which all of us were very much
pleased. I don't know how many
were used, but Mr. Blank assured
us that they were of the best qual-
ity, and they looked it. When the
Wreath arrived at the Stones' home
it was sagging down on one side,

simply awful. It was practically
impossible to stand it up.

"It doesn't make any difference
what quality of flowers are used, if
the piece won't stand up the whole
effect is spoiled. I came here, be-
cause I am disgusted with the work
Mr. Blank turns out."

After the two women had placed
their order and left, the old man
continued his conversation with the
store manager.

"Did you hear that? It proves
my point. I tell you, you can't af-
ford to use a poor grade of Wire
Work, too much depends upon it.

"If you place an order for the
season 's requirements with Kenni-
cott Bros., you can get rock bottom
prices and, at the same time, be
assured of a high standard of
quality. ' '

Do you appreciate the soundness
of the old man's judgment? If yon
do, the opportunity is open to you.
Special contract prices will be quo-
ted upon application. Address Ken-
nicott Bros. Co., 163 N. Wabash

There is a good demand for flowers for
home use, which, combined with funeral
orders, keeps the market well cleaned
up.

The chrysanthemums have arrived
and they are of fine quality. Carna-
tions are improving daily and long-
stemmed ones are obtainable. Asters
are about gone. Easter lilies are re-
ceived in quantity and a few callas can
be had.

The State Fair Exhibits.

Fair week, September 20 to 2o, was
the finest week of the entire summer.
It rained a trifle Monday and Tuesday,
but not enough to dampen the ardor of
anyone. The remainder of the week
was ideal and the attendance at the
West Michigan state fair was larger
than that of any of the previous fairs.
The local florists did more than their
share to make the exhibits attractive to
the visitors. Horticultural hall, the
building in which the flower exhibit
was staged, was the most attractive
place on the grounds.

The florists exhibiting were Henry
Smith, Eli Cross, the Crabb & Hunter
Floral Co. and Arthur F. Crabb, all of
Grand Rapids. The last named entered
only for floral designs and fancy bas-
kets. The awards were as follows:

from all over the country to lay plans

business -was better than it would have
been otherwise, for many of the city's
leading people were entertaining the
visitors.

Inquiries among business men who
are leaders in their several lines lead to
the general impression that business is
back to about where it was before the
war. At least this is so in most lines,
and there is a general feeling that the
winter will see things even better. One
florist, after carefully looking the mat-
ter up, said that the last two months
were about the same as corresponding
months before the war opened. An-
other reported that the last three
months have been a little better than
normal.

Flowers are coming in freely and the
demand is strengthening decidedly. An-
other week will see chrysanthemums
in good quantities, and from the looks
of the growers' houses, the quality will
be of the best. Dahlias are more than
plentiful, but they are selling well.
Boses are improving in quality with
the cold days lately and carnations
have hardened up wonderfully.

Most of the bulbs are in stock now
and the counter trade is opening up
fairly well, especially in the last few
days. The quality seems to be unusu-
ally good. Perhaps this is because deal-
ers in this country can get a better
grade of bulb while the war prevents
other countries demanding them.

Various Notes.

J. P. Corbitt reports that while
there has been nothing unusual at his
place this week, business has been good.
He says he has never before had things
in as good condition as at present.

A. N. Kinsman, of A. N. Kinsman &
Son, owners of the Austin Greenhouses,
at Austin, Minn., was in the city last
week. He says that business is boom-
ing with him. He will spend the win-
ter in Florida, Cuba, and the Canal
Zone. He is motoring to Florida.

T. H. Joy says that their bulbs this
year are the best they have ever re-
ceived. They will begin cutting mums
heavily this week. He says that the
fair brought them good business. Dur-
ing the fair their firm showed 300 feet
of moving pictures, taken at their
greenhouses, using one of the best pat-
ronized theaters.

Floyd Bralliar, of the Hillerest School

The Market.

The market last week was excellent.
As fast as stock arrived at the whole-
sale houses it was bought up at fair
prices. All stock was in the best of
condition. An abundance of roses of
many varieties was received. There
was a heavy out-of-town run. Boses
were most in demand. Carnations sold
readily also. They have improved won-
derfully in quantity and quality in the
last three weeks. The home-grown stock
was the best that has ever been seen
here in September. Chrysanthemums
are becoming more plentiful, although
the demand is not strong. This is due
to high prices, say the retailers. A
general clean-up is expected for next
week, as it is Fashion Show week.

Dahlias sold well last week. There
is a fine stock of this flower arriving

The Market.

The change to cooler weather last
•week had a tendency to improve busi-
ness. It is still too early, however, for
really active demand. When the frosts
kill the outdoor flowers there will nat-
urally be a much larger demand for
flowers from the florists. Several times
within the last ten days it has been al-
most cold enough for a frost.

The windows begin to look more in
season. For a long time ferns, gladi-
oli and asters formed the bulk of the
window decorations. Now one sees
dahlias, lilies, carnations, etc., with
some early chrysanthemums, red hot
poker, and others. Carnations are more
plentiful, but the quality is still poor.
Growers, however, have a large sup-
ply of fine, stocky plants, and it will
not be long before there will be ample
supplies of blooms of the finest qual-
ity. Only a limited number of chry-
santhemums are in the market, and
those not of good quality. The mum
season is near, however, and better
flowers and the finest varieties will be
plentiful.

There was a considerable amount of
funeral work last week. Counter trade
is reported somewhat better.

Various Notes.

Ernest Kadany, 596 Central avenue,
is making repairs to his greenhouses.
He reports business a little quiet j'et,
but looks for marked improvement af-
ter the first frosts.

F, H, Kuehn, 621 Central avenue, is
making an addition to one of his green-
houses. Mr. Kuehn, who is situated
opposite one of the leading cemeteries
of the city, has a large cemetery trade.

A new firm known as Davis & Davis
has leased five greenhouses at Central
avenue and Grove street, East Orange,
just over the Newark line. Charles*
Hornecker is the lessor. The new firm
will conduct a wholesale florists' busi-
ness. They are building another green-
house, 17x100, and are putting in a
new heating system. For the winter
trade the firm has started with a fine
lot of chrysanthemums, carnations,
snapdragons and sweet peas. They will

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Cool weather has brought an improve-
ment in the cut flower market. There
are not nearly so many flowers in town
and the demand is stronger. Asters and
gladioli are about done for, although
there will be some of both for a time.
Dahlias are plentiful, but there are a
good many dahlias that do not rank as
first-class and so fail to find favor with
the buyers. Good dahlias are in de-
mand at , fair prices; some of the
fancies even bring fancy prices. There
is a great variety of roses, greater than
usual. It can no longer be charged that
the growers confine their efforts to a
single variety of each color; there are
any number of pinks and a good many
reds, several yellows and some fancies.
White is the only color not represented
by many varieties. The prices of roses
have advanced a little.

Carnations show decided improve-
ment, Gorgeous, Mrs. C. W. Ward and
several other fancies having moved up
to $3 per hundred. The stems have
lengthened sufficiently on other vari-
eties to make them more desirable.
Orchids are exceedingly plentiful,
especially Cattleya labiata and the
spray oncidiums. Everyone seems to
be on crop, so that there are more than
the market will take readily. Easter
lilies are fine and sell well.

There are a few gardenias and plenty
of good valley. Chrysanthemums can
now be had in pink as well as in white
and yellow; that is, they can be had by
hustling, for only the yellows are at
all plentiful. The odds and ends of
indoor and outdoor flowers formed an
important item of the cut flower list
last week.

It is asserted, confidently, that the
new fern, Nephrolepis John Wana-
maker, will have a great run during
October. Deservedly so, for this new
variety is considered by good judges
to have merit of a high order. A fern
that combines the vigor and freedom
of the narrow-leaved type of its family
with the grace and beauty of the
crested type, has a future. The history
of this family is rather curious. For

ages it was an erect fern, but twenty-
five years or so ago came the drooping,
so-called Boston type, with its endless
sports. A halt has been called on these
sports until now they have become
rarer. But here is a variety that
makes fronds faster than any save
Teddy, Jr., and has durability and
beauty to boot. Small wonder that the
Craigs are enthusiastic about it!

H. Lanser and Frank Alter, who will
trade as the Charles F. Krueger Co.
Mr. Lanser is a grower well known in
Philadelphia, especially on the Main
Line. Mr. Alter had been with Mr.
Krueger ten years.

Edward Towill, of Koslyn, dropped

in at the store of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co. to show some of his new
rose seedlings. One produced by a
cross between Harry Kirk and Lady
Hillingdon is a semi-double bud,
pointed, of coppery yeHow color, which
Mr, Towill considers a producer. An-
other comes from a cross between

Joseph Hill and My Maryland, which
seedling was crossed with Mrs. Aaron
Ward. The result is a firm flower
of pale pink color, faintly suflfused
with yellow. The first bud was so
decidedly like Mrs. Ward in color
that it really seemed as though the
pedigrees of the two might be mixed,

but I have the assurance of Edward
Towill, of Koslyn, that the facts are
exactly as above stated.

The announcement made in this
column September 9, that Kenard Bros,
had leased the Millbrook Lea Green-
houses, at Whitford, Pa., requires an
explanation. Millbrook Lea was the
name given to the greenhouse range
owned and operated by J. Lehman
Maull and J. Lardner Howell, trading
as Maull & Howell. There were two
distinct ranges, the lower owned by
Mr. Maull and the upper one owned by
Mr. Howell. The upper houses have
been leased by Benard Bros. The lower
range continues under the management
of John Stanley, formerly manager for
Maull ^ HowoU.

Bassett's New Seedling Dahlias.

J. Murray Bassett, of Hammonton,
N. J., has a number of fine new seed-
ling dahlias of his own raising. The
flowers on these seedlings are large and
of good, clear colors. The stems are
strong and the foliage, the glory of a
fine flower, is remarkably luxuriant.
Cultivation and disbudding have been
employed by Mr. Bassett in producing
these most decorative blooms, which
do credit to his skill as a dahlia hybrid-
izer and grower. The descriptions of
five of Mr. Bassett's seedlings are as
follows:

No. 10 is a bright yellow that is yellow by
lamplight, a decided improTement over Yellow
DDke. Tlie foliage Is firm.

No. 107 Is an Improvement over Arabella, espe-
cially in keeping qtiaiity, and It Is of a deeper
color. The foliage is especially good.

Mrs. H. J. Tiley is of peony type; a deep
golden or orange-yellow with extra firm foliage.
It is a good keeper.

Mrs. A. K. White is of the semi-peony type.
It Is of the purest white and a good keeper.

appearance is to last eight days only,

A great show, indeed! The sight
from the railroad is magnificent: A
long driveway bordered on each side
by velvet green lawn, relieved by ever-
greens and shrubs and canna beds. The

vast fields of glorious cannas on either
side, all in full bloom, a perfect blaze
of gorgeous color, in rich variety, and
then, beyond, the dahlias. The scene is
full of animation. There are motor
cars, filled with expectant visitors,
dashing up the driveway. There are
people moving about among the beds

of flowers, the light-colored dresses of
the women and children adding charm
to the picture. The entrance driveway
ends at the service shed, dividing to
right and left. Here the automobiles
are parked, presenting an imposing ap-
pearance. Nearby, on the lawn at the
right, are the booths where flowers are

sold and where visitors rest and look
over the fields of flowers while seated.
The flower booth is simple, yet attrac-
tive, a good-sized canvas bootl^with a
counter across the center. On one side
are the ladies who are selling the flow-
ers; on the other, the visitors who are
buying. On the counter are the
dahlias. No wonder the people linger
in the doorway of the tent to enjoy the
beauty within. It is a temptation to
describe the matrons and the maids,
their faces alive with interest, but this
is a flower show, so the flowers take
precedence. The flowers are chiefly
dahlias, displayed, for the most part,
in vases, a single variety in a vase.
They are shown in what may be de-
scribed as American style, with long
stems, displaying buds and a wealth of
foliage with the bloom. The effect is
pleasing.

The history of this flower booth is
iiiteresting. Last year every visitor to
the Riverview dahlia show of Henry A.
lireer, Inc.. was presented with a box
of dahlia8.'"'They were intended to en-
courage a love for flowers among those,
usually from a distance, who had come
with the idea of learning more about
varieties and their cultivation. The re-
sult was not wholly satisfactory. Many
of the boxes of dahlias fell into the
hands of the townspeople, whose aim
was to get whatever could be had for
nothing, caring not a rap for choice
flowers or their culture. So this year
a new plan is being tried. A lady of
philanthropic, as well as floral tastes,
who is described by no less a personage
than Herbert G. Tull as being a
hustler, has organized a committee of
ladies to sell the flowers. Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., gave all the flowers to this
committee of ladies. The ladies sell
all the flowers they can. The proceeds
all go to the Martha Washington Me-
morial, at Valley Forge. The Dreers
did not select the object of their gener-
osity. Thpy said please let it be non-
sectarian and non-political. The ladies
decided it should be ultra-patriotic.

The center of activity is the service
shed. Three long tables laden with
flowers run its entire length. Palms and
foliage add to the decorative effect.
"While dahlias form the main portion of
the exhibition, all the flowers now in
bloom on the farm are shown, bulbous,
annual, biennial, perennial — and, here

The outdoor ramble is undoubtedly
the treat of the show. It affords op-
portunity for successfully sowing the
seed of love of floriculture in the heart
of many an amateur.

The show will continue until Satur-

large attendance all through the week
seems assured.

Various Notes.

L. K. Peacock, of Berlin, N. J., will
speak on dahlias before the Florists'
Club, October 5.

The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is
receiving fine Ophelia, Hadley and

Krueger, mother of the late Charles F.
Krueger, which occurred September 27.

The Market.

"With the equinoctial storm of Sep-
tember 21, came the end of the dry,
hot spell that for two weeks dominated
the cut flower market. The weather
last week was ideal and its influence
is felt through a decided improvement
both in the wholesale and retail trade.

Boses already show better quality
and the improvement is welcome, after
the weeks of sacrifice. The outlook is
encouraging. Prices have been low for
American Beauties, the supply being
abundant, with much room for improve-
ment in quality. The call for these
from the summer resorts is becoming
less as society returns to the city.
There is a rapidly growing demand for
the new roses, and each retailer has
a different favorite, with Hadley,
Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Key, Ward,
Stanley, Mock and Bussell all in the
running.

Cooler weather has benefited carna-
tions. During the hot spell they were
not of good quality and were hardly
salable, but the tendency now is up-
ward.

The supply of orchids is large and it
needs a perfect flower to sell at 25
cents, while many thousands have been
sold far below this quotation. There
are many oncidiums offered at a nomi-
nal cost. The top retail price for the
finest cattleyas and dendrobiums was
$5 per dozen. Lilies are steadier, with
an upward tendency. Valley remains
below par, 50 cents to $1 securing much

hundred.

A more active trade in chrysanthe-
mums is expected from now until
Thanksgiving. Smith's Advance and
Golden Glow have already had their
day, but the novelties and the old fa-
vorites hold the stage. A few asters
and gladioli remain, but frost has al-
most ended the season for these flowers.
There remains the usual variety of out-
door flowers, the frosts having missed
New York city to date. The dahlia i§
especially abundant; in fact, it was a
dahlia week and many thousands were
diaposed of. Leading retailers featured
it, and some had splendid dahlia win-
dows. These, and the successful ex-
hibition at the Museum of Natural His-
tory must have impressed the public
with its possibilities for decorative pur-
poses. It is safe to say that 100,000
dahlias were disposed of in New York
city last week.

siding. Secretary Young says that ef-
forts in the interest of the national
show at Philadelphia and the spring
show at New York are resulting well
.and that prospects for the success of
both exhibitions were never brighter.

The next meeting of the New ifork
Florists' Club will take place October
10. Special exhibits and a stereopticon
lecture will add to the usual attractive
program.

The October flower shows will be
numerous here and in this vicinity.
Glen Cove's dahlia exhibition will be
held October 7, and the fall show of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society,
October 28 and 29. The Morris County
Horticultural Society will exhibit at
Madison, N. J., October 28 and 29.
Orange, N. J., will hold its tenth an-
nual dahlia show October 4. Oystef
Bay, L. I., has set October 5 and 6 as
the dates of the local show, Eed
Bank 's show will take place October 27
and 28. There are others, some unfor-
tunately conflicting in the matter of
dates. Among these is the annual ex-
hibition of the Dutchess County Horti-
cultural Society, coming October 28
and 29.

The horticultural auctions continue
every Tuesday and Friday and the at-
tendance is increasing rapidly. The
MacNiff Horticultural Co. offered im-
portations of over 20,000 boxwoods
from Holland. Local growers are dis-
posing of their surplus palms, ferns and
other plants for the retail florists
through this medium.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. featured
bulbs of every variety last week. The
display was artistically arranged with
a large painting of the Holland bulb
fields in the background.

The Kervan Co. has begun improve-
ments in its Annex, close to the head-
quarters at 115 West Twenty-eighth
street. Mr. Kervan takes an opti-
mistic view of the season's outlook.

The Wholesale Cut Flower Protective
Association of New York held its first
meeting of the fall season September
25, at Long Island City.

Robert Clifford is again a member of
the force of Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., at

George C. Siebrecht has taken ad-

William Kessler is utilizing his entire

steadily.

It is rumored that one of the mem-

house is to sever his connection with
the firm and establish a business for
himself, locating on West Twenty-
eighth street.

The new building of the New York

use this week. The firm considers it
one of the most up-to-date buildings
in the country devoted to the florists'
supply business.

George J. Polykranas opens his new

October 1. It is a model and conve-

Twenty- five years catering to the retail trade.

much colder weather of late, the flower
market has not responded as had been
hoped. While there are fewer flowers
now arriving, and less congestion,
prices are still discouragingly low on
nearly all flowers. We have had one
or two light frosts, but not suflScient to
do much damage. A killing frost is
hoped for as a tonic for depression.
Eoses are in heavy supply, but have
cleaned up a little better; however,
prices are low. Beauties are good, as
are Ophelia, Hadley, Russell and
Hoosier Beauty. A nice lot of Mile.
C. Brunner, Elger and single roses are
seen. Carnations have improved in
quality with colder weather, but the
best flowers have not sold above $1
per hundred. A few single violets ap-
peared this week. Golden Glow is about
the only chrysanthemum seen yet and
it does not move particularly well.

Asters get smaller, but there is still
a large crop arriving. Gladioli are
fewer and realize better prices. Valley
is selling better; wedding orders have
helped sales. Sweet peas are, for the
time being, practically out of the mar-
ket, liilies sell a little better. Snap-
dragons, feverfew, cosmos and dahlias
all sell slowly and there is not much
call for other outdoor flowers. More
cattleyas are available, also plenty of
Oncidium Eogersii and Dendrobium
formosum. Plant trade is now showing
a little more life.

Club Meeting.

There was a good attendance Sep-
tember 21 for the first fall meeting
of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club.
Two new members were elected. It was
voted to hold the annual banquet in
February. Reports of the picnic com-
mittees showed a balance on the right
side. Several members spoke on the
field days held at Newport and Lexing-
ton, and the Breck-Robinson Co. and
Newport Horticultural Society were
thanked for courtesies extended. It

was announced that the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners will hold its next
convention in Boston in December. Ac-
tion regarding this will be taken later.

A communication referred to the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners by the
Nassau County Horticultural Society on
transferring of members from one so-
ciety to another without fees, where
they had paid dues in one society, was
received with favor and referred to the
executive committee. A discussion
arose over resuming landscape classes.
Several members favored a longer sea-
son, with twenty-five in lieu of eighteen
classes. On the motion of F. E. Palmer
it was unanimously voted to ask the
local S. A. F. convention committee for
a list of receipts and disbursements in
connection with the Boston, 1914, con-
vention.

M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J., who
should have spoken, was prevented by
sickness from attending, T. J. Grey
gave an interesting account of his trip
to San Francisco and spoke of the pleas-
ures it had given him. His greatest
joy came when the Berkshire hills came
in view on the homeward trip. Henry
Penn spoke most entertainingly on his
transcontinental trip, being especially
enthusiastic over southern California
and the Canadian Kockies,

Exhibits included a collection of
dahlias and hardy perennials from W.
A. Manda, represented by Eber Holmes,
and Buddleia magniflca and hardy as-
ters from W, N. Craig. The next meet-
ing will come October 19.

Various Notes.

J. K. Chandler & Son, of Tewksbury,
have five large houses of chrysanthe-
mums this season. Of pompons they
have sixty-five varieties, also a wide as-
sortment of the large-flowered varieties.
In carnations they are growing Beacon,

The Leadlne Florist of

URBAN A, Champaign ۥ., OHIO

firm built two new bouses last season,
a carnation house 42x250, and a propa-
gating house 20x60.

An effort has been made to revive
interest in bowling among the florists.
Years ago it was popular, but for some
time interest in it has been at a low
ebb. A Florists' Bowling Association
has been formed. Officers are: Presi-
dent, Seyman Grose, of Carbone's;
vice-president, Albert Strumpf, of
H. M. Robinson & Co.; secretary and
treasurer, C. J. Sloan, of the Flower
Exchange; umpire, Geo. W. Hamer.
Cups have been donated by several
firms and bowling commences October
9 and will continue each Thursday
night. Eight teams have already been
formed.

Charles Holbrow, of Brighton, is this
season growing Killarney, White Kil-
larney, Richmond and Ophelia for roses.
In carnations his varieties are Beacon,
Benora, Pink Delight, White Enchant-
ress and Alice. A large variety of
mums also are grown. All flowers not
sold at retail are disposed of at the
Flower Exchange.

William E. Cahill, for a number of
years with the Fottler, Fiske, Rawson
Co., and Charles T. Beasley, gardener
on a New Jersey estate, and formerly
at Hingham, Mass., have formed a part-
nership and purchased the W. C. Ward
establishment in East Milton. They
will specialize in pansies, sweet peas,
bachelor's buttons and pompon mums.
Taking hold as they did during the late
heat wave, the members of the new firm
have materially reduced their weight,
due to hard work.

Lewis Smith, of Tewksbury, has a
fine sash house 250 feet long of
bachelor's buttons. He removed the
sashes from these during the summer.
Plants are now lusty and starting to
flower.

At the store of Patrick Welch, 262
Devonshire street, I noted extra flne
American Beauties for the season, also
excellent cattleyas, valley and chrysan-
themums. Business is said to be stead-
ily improving.

September 22 when he gave the whole-
sale rose market a big lift by purchas-
ing 36,000 flowers and sending them
by special autos to the various hos-
pitals and charitable institutions in
Boston. A shoal of appreciative letters
showed how much these gifts were ap-
preciated and the daily press comment-
ed at length on it. September 25 or-
ders were filled for twenty shower bou-
quets for weddings. Puneral orders
also continue brisk. Everbearing
strawberries in pots and dahlia dis-
plays have been special window fea-
tures here of late.

L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, is prob-
ably the most noted and successful
grower of bachelor's buttons in Amer-
ica, making shipments to points 1,000
or more miles away. He is this season
devoting three large houses to them.
His carnations, which include several
novelties, could hardly look better.

The annual fruit and vegetable show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety occurs October 2 and 3 and prom-
ises to be an excellent one.

William H. Elliott is cutting a splen-
did lot of Killarney Queen, Hadley,
Ophelia, Sunburst and Beauty roses;
also a nice lot of Mile. C. Brucpier,
Elger, Old Gold and single varieties.

S. E. Spencer, the well known gla-
diolus specialist of Woburn, was award-
ed a gold medal for his display at an
exhibition in that town last week.

George M. Anderson, of Milton,, one
of our most respected florists, ^'has
leased greenhouses at 499 Center street,
Milton. At his new stand he will be
able to cater to a large retail trade.
We wish him every success.

Nice snapdragons for early in the
season are coming from R. D. Kimball,
of Waban, and Paul E. Eichwagen, of
Needham.

did lot of carnatioi^s thia. season. His
varieties are Beacbn, White Wonder,
Fenn, Pink Delight and Yellow Prince.
He also has two fine houses of Aspar-
agus Sprengeri.

J. A. Nelson, of Framingham, is
sending in some fine carnations. Par-
ticularly good are Alice, Benora ajid
Matchless.

Buddleia variabilis, in its several
forms, is to be seen at some of the
stores at this season. It keeps well cut
and is excellent in funeral designs.
Florists carrying it also have quite a
number of calls for plants. We have
no more rapid growing and profuse
flowering shrub. The blooming season
lasts for several months. W. N. C.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Funeral work caused a little flurry in
the market last week, but the hot
weather the latter part of the week
killed the seasonable improvement
shown in business. A good frost is
needed to revive trade. Large ship-
ments of stock from both local and
outside shippers came in daily. The
quality of the roses was not what it
should be and consequently prices
ranged low. Mums are coming in more
freely, with a somewhat better demand.
Smith's Advance and Golden Glow are
the only varieties available at present.
Carnations, too, should be of better
quality. These are plentiful. Only a
few of the best bring $2 per hundred,
but $1 per hundred was the average.
Dahlias are not so plentiful as last
year at this time. A few select gladi-
oli are arriving. Violets, as yet, are
scarce, but with the cooler weather a
big crop is promised. Some nice con-
signments of cosmos are coming in.
Asters are still arriving daily and these,
with fine lilies and valley, make up
the daily offerings.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis county annual fair will
be opened October 4, at Maxwelton
park. A number of prizes are offered
for flowers, plants and fruits.

William C. Young and his son, Wil-
liam C. Young, Jr., of the Young Bros.
Floral Co., attended the Illinois state
fair, at Springfield, last week. Mr.
Young, Sr., who was sick for some time,
says he is himself again.

The St. Louis Seed Co. has mailed its
annual fall catalogue. The importa-
tion of fall bulbs was quite large this
year. Mr. Hummert says they have a
number of large orders to fill.

son.

C. Young & Sons Co. will furnish the
decorations for the ball of the Veiled
Prophet, to be held in the Coliseum
October 5. This firm also reports a
number of other good decorative jobs
booked for October.

Adolph Brix, of the Brix Floral Co.,
was appointed supervisor of the floral
pavilion of the St. Louis War Belief
Bazaar, to be held in the Coliseum,
October 25 to 31. Ed. Buechel, of the
Eiessen Floral Co., also ia one of the
members of this association.

Paddy Patton returned from the Illi-
nois state fair and showed a couple of
golf balls he had won. He says all he
needs now is a driver, bunker, cleek, a
caddy, links, a nineteenth hole and an
attack of insanity to be a regular
golfer.

Joseph Deutschmann, secretary of
the St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation, says there will be a number of
important matters to dispose of at the
next meeting of the association, to take
place October 6, at the Eleven Mile
House, and hopes all members will at-
tend.

William Miller, who for the last
twelve years was with the W, L. Rock
Flower Co., Kansas City, Mo., is now
in the employ of Fred C. Weber.
Roland E, Hammer, Mr. Weber's son-
in-law, is now his bookkeeper.

The many friends of C. E. De Wever,
of Olivette, will be pained to learn
that he was taken to a sanitarium last
week with a badly deranged mind,
ckused by sickness. Mrs. De Wever in-
tends to sell the establishment in
Olivette.

Philip Goebel, one of the large grow-
ers in Webster Groves, was in town last
week wearing a Panama hat. As it
was the only one seen in the wholesale
district, the boys got after him, at-
tempting to take it away, but Mr.
Goebel cleared away from the crowd
and came back saying he had traded
the hat for a pair of roller skates.

Onion promises to be good property
again this season.

It is too late to entertain hope for the
bean crop. The supply for 1916 will be,
relatively to the demand, the smallest
ever known.

There are reports of considerable
quantities of bulbs that came in on the
last trip of the Byndam being heated
when the cases were opened.

Sweet corn in the principal growing
districts, east, middle west and west, has
profited by recent warm weather, but
there has been too much rain.

The prospects are for a large enough
crop of American grown aster seeds so
that the nonarrival of the European
stock would not be a vital matter.

The man who makes the catalogue has
a rather more difficult job this year than
last. He scarcely can be sure of any-
thing except that nearly all seeds will
be scarce.

It is reported that because of the in-
ability to secure space on the Fabre line
boats, one of the Holland bulb houses
shipped 1,100 cases, including Bomans,
Paper Whites and Golden Spurs, from
Marseilles as late as September 2.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los
Angeles, last week lost a considerable
quantity of wholesale seed stock in a
fire that destroyed a warehouse. Their
loss is estimated at between $40,000 and
$50,000, fully covered by insurance.

Bttters who have not yet received
their French bulbs are making things
interesting for the sellers. In some
cases delayed delivery is due to inade-
quate transportation facilities this sea-
son, but in other cases it seems to have
resulted through placing orders at too
low prices with concerns that now feel
under no obligations to make delivery.

The first meeting of the creditors of
the Johnson Seed Co., Philadelphia,
which was thrown into bankruptcy July
19 and the stock of which was closed
out at public sale August 24, will be held
at the office of Beferee Mellors in Phila-
delphia October 4. There is in sight
only a small dividend for creditors. The
receiver has given notice that he will
ask double commissions for conducting
the business during the thirty-seven days
he continued it under the order of the
court.

On the evening of September 20 H. G.
Hastings Co., Atlanta, gave its em-
ployees a dinnei' dance in the structure
to commemorate the opening of a spa-
cious new addition to its buildings. The
size of the Hastings business has grown
to such proportions that additions have
frequently been necessary, but with the
present new addition and improvements
W. B. Hastings asserts "the concern
has a larger capacity for filling seed
mail-orders than any other seed house
in these United States. ' ' This he thinks
** speaks rather well for Atlanta, for
Georgia, and the south. It shows that
the southern farmer and gardener ap-
preciates the benefits of better seeds and

SbftemAbb 30, 1015.

is raising his standard of farming and
living. ' '

The St. Louis Seed Co. reports the
arrival of seven bags of radish, from
Kotterdam, direct in bond to St. Louis.

Apparently some of the dealers have
oversold on Paper Whites, at least for
early delivery, as there are numerous
inquiries for round quantities.

Eighty barrels and 100 bags of clover
seed arrived at New York September 21,
on board the steamer Walldyk, from
Amsterdam. The two shipments were
consigned to J. M. Thorburn & Co. and
Hudson & Randolph, respectively.

IMPORTS HEAVY.

The imports of horticultural commod-

DICKINSON'S BIG PLANT.

A Chicago bank has underwritten a
bond issue loan of $1,500,000, -maturing
in two to eight years and bearing six
per cent interest, to the Albert Dickin-
son Co. The loan is secured by the
great new west side plant of the Dick-
inson company and it is of special in-
terest in Chicago financial circles as
being not only the largest loan of the
year, but the largest closed in the west
side in many years.

The Dickinson plant, which has just
been completed, occupies over seventy
acres, of which sixty acres are owned
in fee, bounded by the drainage canal
on the north, Thirty-fifth street on the
south, the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore
& Ohio, and Chicago .Junction rail-
roads at Campbell avenue on the east,
and California avenue on the west. The
buildines. which are of reinforced con-
crete and steel construction, comprise
seven units, consisting of three holding
units, each 80x240 feet, of three, four,
and five stories in height; also an as-
sembling house, 60x420 feet, four stories
high; three working houses, 80x120
feet, one being 200 feet high, and con-
taining 1,100 tons of steel, which, with
its large steel tanks, will provide stor-
age for 750,000 bushels of grain. It is
stated the buildings are so constructed
they can be used for other industrial
purposes.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

George Thomson, of Northrup, King
& Co., Minneapolis, contrasted an item
that appeared in the Boston Beacon of
1675, advertising a shipment of seeds
as part of a cargo from Glasgow, with
the seed trade of today. His house,
for instance, has shipped 900 cartons
of seeds to various points this season.

The W. H. Bofferding Co., Minne-
apolis, remarked \ipon the fine exhibit
of onions at the state fair, grown from
their seed. Specimens of Red, White
and Yellow Globe were fine, consider-
ing the wet season. This firm has a
window display of dahlias, all labeled,
from which orders are being booked for
spring delivery. Geisha, a prize-winner,

J. H. Smith, of Minneapolis, finds
the demand for seeds fully up to the
average.

L, L. May, of St. Paul, believes that
this year will be a clean-up one in
stocks, generally. Corn of all kinds
will be scarce and correspondingly high.
They have harvested a crop of Datura
Stramonium, an herb used for the cure
of asthma and hitherto grown in Ger-
many. The two acres of the crop are
expected to yield, when dried, 2,000
pounds, at a contract price of 20 cents
per pound. It is predicted that, owing
to the war, there will be an increasing
demand for this plant because of its
medical qualities.

The John A. Salzer Seed Co., "La

mand for pedigree oats and wheat an-

ARGENTINA BESTBICTS IMPORTS.

An Argentine decree of July 5, 1915,
which is to go into eflFect six months
from that date, prohibits the importa-
tion into Argentina of consignments of
alfalfa seed and other forage-plant
seeds containing more than ten grains
of dodder per kilo, or those of a ger-
minal power (valor cultural) of less
than sixty per cent. Shipments of such
seeds are to be analyzed by the Ar-
gentine agricultural authorities upon
importation, and, if they are found not
to comply with the requirements, must
be returned to the country of exporta-
tion or placed in a warehouse desig-
nated for the purpose and cleaned at
the expense of the importer; otherwise
the consignment is to be destroyed
without remuneration. The importation
of such seeds is limited by the decree
to the ports of Buenos Aires, Rosario
and Bahia Blanca.

BULB SITUATION IN HOLLAND.

"As a matter of course," says the
Holland correspondent of a British
trade paper, "the countries that are
at war are not taking more than half
the usual quantities of any kind of
bulbs, and if it was not for the enor-
mous quantities swallowed by the
United States, conditions in the bulb
district woulgl be far worse than what
they are. Notwithstanding this, the
cost of production in the face of scar-
city of labor will cause a general clear-
ing and reducing of stocks among bulb
growers, and this is after all the only
practical mode of dealing with the

Tbe Market.

Business continues good. Decora-
tions for weddings and banquets were
numerous last week. Practically every-
thing on the market cleans up in fine
shape. The weather continues warm
and dry, but the nights are becoming
cooler, and changes in the varieties of
stock offered indicate the end of sum-
mer. Roses were noticeably better last
week, but the supply is not heavy and
more of them could easily be sold. The
cut of Irish Elegance is increasing and
it is almost monopolized by a few of
the large shops. Ophelia and Russell
seem to be the most popular. A good
many violets are appearing and some
are being shipped to near-by points,
but neither the quality nor the quan-
tity of the violets will permit heavy
shipments for two or three weeks.
Chrysanthemums are improving, the
yellow varieties being fairly plentiful.
October Frost is off crop and, while
a fine cut of Queen is expected soon,
the present supply of mums is limited.
Pompons are doing nicely. The local
demand for chrysanthemums has been
strong and a large shipping movement
should begin in another week. A few
sprays of phalsBuopsis and oncidiums
have been appearing. Cattleyas have
begun to arrive again, but they still
are scarce. Gardenias are snapped up
quickly and the sales for them the last
few weeks would have been much
larger if stock had been available.
Amaryllis still arrives in large quanti-
ties. Gladioli are having a remarkably
long season and there is a good supply
in view for next month. Dahlias are
fine and seem to find more popularity
than before. A few asters still are
seen, but they are not of much ac-
count. Scattering lots of short sweet
peas continue to appear. The carna-
tions show little improvement and those
offered move rather slowly. There is
a heavy movement of all kinds of
greens, ferns. Asparagus plumosus,
huckleberry, oak, etc., and a good deal
of Eucalyptus robusta, now coming into
flower, is used in window displays and
decorations. Cyclamen blooms and
plants are excellent and more plentiful.

The Dahlia Show.

All those who participated agree that
the dahlia show at the Palace of Horti-
culture, held September 18 and 19, was
the largest and finest exhibition of
dahlias ever held on the Pacific coast,
and some of those who have been
around a good deal say it was the best
show they have ever seen. A large
room facing the South Gardens was
occupied by the exhibits. This loca-
tion was unusually appropriate, for
there are many large plantings of
dahlias in the South Gardens, now at
their best. Several thousand specimen
blooms were exhibited, of a wide range
of varieties and types, and about fifty
prizes were awarded.

In the class open to growers the
Lovers' Point Dahlia Garden took
a gold medal for the best collection of
dahlias. The Bessie Boston Dahlia

Farm won a silver medal and four first
prizes for the best showings of cactus
dahlias, peony-fiowered dahlias and
collarette dahlias, and second prizes for
pompon dahlias, and decorative dahlias.
It also won a silver medal for an entry
of seedlings. Frank Pelicano took first
prize for the best twenty-four decora-
tive dahlias and for fifty blooms of
Delice. Mr. Pelicano also won a bronze
medal for this year's best seedling, a
decorative dahlia of old gold color.
Burns & Co., of San Rafael, took second
prize for fifty blooms of Geisha. One
of the most notable exhibits was that
of T. A. Burns, who was awarded a
special medal of honor for an exhibit of
1,000 varieties. There were many ex-
hibits by nonprofessionals.

Various Notes.

Notice of the death of Gustave A.
Navlet, of Eureka, Cal., will be found
in this week's obituary column.

A. O. Stein recently made decora-
tions for a large business luncheon, in
which he used more than 133 dozens of
pink chrysanthemums. The market had
to be scoured for two days to supply
the flowers. Mr. Stein is featuring
cibotium ferns this season and ex-
presses surprise that this fern is not
more popular. He is receiving good
stock from H. Plath and E. James.

Mr. Warlow, who recently opened a
store at 1336 Polk street, which had
been previously run by a Japanese, has
discovered that the location is a poor
one and is now looking for a more fa-
vorable business site.

H. G. George, of 1702 Seventy-third
avenue, Oakland, is one of the few
American growers who have not quit
carnation growing. He has a few reg-
ular customers who can be depended
upon to take his cut and says he does
not believe in abandoning the field in
the face of Japanese competition. He
makes a specialty of spring bulbous
stock.

Burns & Co., of San Rafael, are show-
ing specimens of a newly established
seedling dahlia, at the C. Kooyman
store. It is said to be a cross between
Elsa and Minnie Burgle. It is like the
latter in formation, a fine white in

color and about seven inches in diam-
eter. Mr. Burns is shipping in a large
quantity of fine tuberous begonia
blooms, which are receiving a great
deal of attention.

C. Kooyman is shipping a great many
mums and is experiencing a fine de-
mand for them, both outside and lo-
cally. He supplies a large number of
chrysanthemums for exposition deco-
rations.

Robert Schenk, who has been con-
nected with several of the leading
flower shops at Los Angeles during the
last few years, has come to San Fran-
cisco and expects to make his home
here. H. S. G.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Quite an improvement in business has
set in during the last week. Many
residents who are frequent patrons of
the flower stores are returning from
beach and mountain resorts, while the
tourists from the middle west and
east are still coming in considerable
numbers. There is none too much good
stocK coming in now, though there is
considerable second-rate stuff. Good
roses are scarce, carnations are fairly
good, orchids are not plentiful, and
valley is hard to get of good quality.
The stores are full of outdoor flowers
and ferns. The latter are selling fair-
ly well. There are no good flowering
plants to be had. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

George W. Smith reports business
good in the landscape end. Several
large contracts are keeping him busy.
Mr. Smith proposes going into the grow-
ing end of the nursery business and
has several promising sites in view.

Charles Lewis, of Freeman-Lewis Co.^
is taking another short vacation.

Fred Howard, as head of the Howard
& Smith corporation, is a busy man
these days and hard to catch. He re-
ports big sales of roses and other small
stock. The cut flower business also
keeps up well.

Ed. Howard is now working with his

Newmark, where they propose growing
stock for their landscape work.

J. Dieterich is shipping large con-
signments of Cocos plumosa to the
east.

The removal of the L. A. Floral Co.,
from 112 Winston street to more com-
modious quarters on Los Angeles
street, is worthy of more than passing
note. During the short time that Fred
Sperry has been manager of the firm
the increase in business has been steady
and consistent. He has worked up a
business that is taking its place among
the most successful in the city.

Tassano Bros, have their new green-
houses at Glendale complete and will
begin planting at once.

S. Murata & Co. report fine shipping
business and are showing splendid
mums from the north. Mr. Murata has
removed from the city and now makes
his home on Cedar street, Montebello.

At the meeting of the Pasadena
Horticultural Society, September 17,
the matter of incorporation was again
taken up and various questions asked
as to the effect it would have upon
present members. President Shields an-
nounced that James McGilvray had
promised to drive Treasurer Wilson
over to each meeting to prevent his
resignation on account of his taking
charge of the Doheney place, in Los
Angeles. His announcement was re-
ceived with loud cheers. Mr. Mc-
Gilvray urged the members to attend
the smoker to be hfild by the society.

Arrangements for the Pasadena fall
show, to be held in Central park, Octo-
ber 28 to 30, are under way. Among
the special prizes offered are a silver
cup for the best twenty-four cut blooms,
offered by Thomas Chisholm, of the
Pasadena Nursery, and a cash prize of
$25, offered by the Germain Seed &
Plant Co., of Los Angeles, for best
display of flowers and vegetables.

As a result of a fire which entirely
burned out a large warehouse, the
Germain Seed & Plant Co. lost a large
quantity of seeds and other merchan-
dise. Local papers put the loss of stock
at $75,000, but according to M. Mey-
berg, manager of the company, the loss
will be between $40,000 and $50,000.
The loss was covered by insurance.
Delay has been caused in filling whole-
sale orders, owing to the lost stock.

I have frequently visited the excel-
lently arranged home nursery and sales-
yard of the Armstrong Nurseries at
Ontario, but had never until last week
seen the growing quarters. Mr. Arm-
strong has some 300 acres, all in nurs-
ery stock of various kinds, the fruit
end being as well taken care of as the
ornamental. Deciduous fruits are
grown in immense numbers, as well as
citrus, olives and the popular avocados,
or alligator pears. In the ornamental
end are large blocks of all the most
popular conifers, as well as hundreds
of thousands of roses and flowering
shrubs. J. Elster, formerly with the

The Market.

The fall rains have not yet appeared.
Even the equinoctial storm has missed
Portland. The conditions are excellent
for keeping up the supply of outdoor
blooms.

Stock of all sorts is getting more
plentiful and is moving fairly well.
Single violets, home-grown, have ap-
peared. The first lot of mums has been
brought in from California — varieties,
Chrysolora and Crocus.

The dahlia show has been the center
of interest, and inquiry for dahlia
blooms and roots has been strong.

The ground is still too dry for much
fall planting to be done and the resi-
dence lawns have to be sprinkled.

Dahlia Society Show.

The second annual show of the Na-
tional Dahlia Society was held here
September 23 to 25, and was a sur-
prise to the public and to its promot-
ers in its magnitude and attractiveness.
It occupied the entire sixth floor, lOOx
200, of the new building of the Meier &
Frank department store. No entry fee
was charged and the show was free to
the public. About 1,000 entries were
made and were viewed bv at least 50,-
000 people.

According to the statement of Leslie
E. Doolittle, judge of the commercial
exhibits, it was the largest dahlia ex-
hibition ever given in the United
States. \ Mr. Doolittle showed his deep
interest in the show by making an ex-
hibit of fifty varieties of dahlias, all
of his own creation, at the Lovers'
Point Dahlia Gardens, Pacific Grove,
Cal., for which he was given the high-
est award in the general display at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, September
18 and 19. Among his varieties were
Morning Star, Pacific Grove, Sweet
Bemembrance, Santa Barbara. Oxford,
Afar3', and Clara Seaton. Other ex-
hibits brought from distant points were
five blooms of Sunshine, a new seed-
ling originated by Mrs. C. H. Stout, as-
sistant secretary of the society for
New Jersey. They were packed on ice
and shipped from her gardens. A sin-
, glc bloom of Dr. Peary was shipped
via parcel post from Spokane, by Alex-
ander Carr. There were also the new
varieties Lafonner and H. Gill, shipped
to Clarke Bros, from Seattle; the new
dahlia, Henry A. Rhodes, came from
Mrs. George Sheffield, of Burton, and
several exhibits fror.i the Puget sound
district.

Commercial growers exhibiting from
200 to 500 varieties each were Walter
A. Martin, W. E. Sherbrooke, of Cor-
nelius, Ore.; Gill Bros. Seed Co., Port-
land; N. A. Miller, Columbia Dahlia
Co., Willamette Dahlia & Floral Co.;
Mastick strains, by M. G. Tyler;
Spreadborough & Wagner, of Forest
Grove, Ore.; Necanicum Inn, of Seaside,
Ore. Commercial exhibits other than
dahlias were made by the Mountain View
Floral Co., Zimmerman Bros., Niklas &

Son, John Zimmerman, George Inder-
muhle, W. K Crissey, H. E. Weed Land-
scape Nursery, J. B. Pilkington, Wilson
& Grout Co., Swiss Floral Co. and the
Eoutledge Seed & Floral Co. The
Tonseth Floral Co. exhibited an attrac-
tive basket of a scarlet dahlia, Minnie
Burgle, which proved one of the fa-
vorite varieties among the visitors.
Several promising seedlings were ex-
hibited by commercial growers and one
table held over sixty vases of seedlings
entered by amateurs. Among the new
varieties was a seedling from Oregon
Beauty, grown by the Gill Bros. Seed
Co.

The premium list contained 208
prizes open to professional growers of
dahlias, forty-four prizes for miscel-
laneous cut flowers from amateur, semi-
professional and juvenile growers;
twenty-three prizes for dahlias from
juvenile growers, 'thirty-eight prizes for
amateur growers of fall roses, thirty
prizes to exhibits of dahlias and novel-
ties for commercial growers, and six
prizes for cut flowers other than
dahlias, open to commercial growers.

Excepting a few items in the miscel-
laneous list, entries were made under
nearly all the 350 divisions, and accord-
ing to the judges' report, an average
of three entries was made in each
class, totaling about 1,000 entries.

The chief credit for the success of
the show should be given E. W. Gill,
secretary and show manager of the so-
ciety. President Richard M. Buttle
and E. H. White, treasurer, also de-
voted much time and effort to the ex-
hibition.

Club Meeting.

The Portland Floral Society held a
well attended monthly meeting Septem-
ber 21, at its headquarters in the Ma-
sonic Temple. H. A. Lewis, president
of the Multnomah County Fair Asso-
ciation, reported that the fair last week
was a success in every way and that
the beds of flowers on the grounds were
much admired. On behalf of the direc-
tors of the fair he thanked the society
for the interest it had taken in provid-
ing for the flower beds.

James Forbes, chairman of the Floral
Society's committee on exhibitions, and
R. W. Gill, reported the completed ar-
rangements for staging the show of the
Dahlia Society. Secretary Niklas re-
ported that a meeting of the retailers'
■committee had been held and several
topics of vital interest to themselves
discussed. The need for the coopera-
tion of the growers' committee wad
plainly brought out and William
Borsch, chairman of that committee,
was urged to call a meeting of all the
growers.

E. T. Mische related some interesting
anecdotes of the conventions which he
has attended. He was too modest to
say what happened to him at the As-
sembly of park superintendents, but the
statement by another member that Mr.
Mische was elected president of the
national association was applauded
vigorously. J. G. Bacher and A. J.
Clarke told of the impressions they
gained at the S. A. F. conventions.

The trusses of ripe Tresco tomatoes
brought in by H. T. Fleishauer were
used as decorations at the meeting and
were passed around and eaten like
bunches of mammoth grapes at the re-
freshment tables.

Fall orders are not stacking up so
well as could be asked.

Certain nurseries that have well
«quipped landscape departments are
booked up for a good autumn season,
-whereas the general demand for nursery
stock for fall delivery is undeniably be-
Jow normal.

The annual badge book and member-
ship directory of the Texas Nursery-
men's Association contains twenty-seven
names. Eelative to their numbers, there
are no men in the horticultural trades
who can make more noise than the
Texans.

October 5 to 8 will be held the sixth
annual citrus seminar at the University
of Florida, Gainesville. Lectures, dis-
cussions and demonstrations on diseases,
pests, fertilizers, refrigeration and other
subjects related to the growing and mar-
keting of citrus fruits, make up the
program.

From all indications there will be no
scarcity this season of such nursery stock
as has its origin in France and Eng-
land. The growers there appear to have
had access to all the labor that was re-
quired to produce a larger output than
their home markets will consume, so they
are looking to America as about the
only outlet for a surplus,

WATSON STARTS FOB HIMSEU.

John Watson, of Newark, N. Y., an-
nounces that he has withdrawn from
active participation in the business of
the Jackson & "Perkins Co., nurserymen,
in 'which, however, he will remain
a stockholder and director. He intends
to engage in business independently,
crowing and selling ornamentals prin-
cipally, and to the trade exclusively.
This has been his specialty during the
ten years he has been a member of the
Jackson & Perkins Co. He will sell
also fruit tree seedlings, Manetti rose
stocks and young ornamentals for nurs-
ery planting, these for one of the best
jrrowers, graders and packers among
the French nurserymen, as well as Eng-
lish Manetti and gooseberries for an
English house, and continental goods
when the war permits.

A long list of nurserymen here and
abroad claim acquaintance with Mr.
Watson. He was elected vice-president
of the American Association of Nurs-
erymen at its convention last June, is
an officer in the Nurserymen's Protec-
tive Association and also the Wholesale
Ornamental Growers, and holds mem-
berships in the S. A. F., the Rochester
Florists' Club and the Western Associa-
tion of Nurserymen.

prising. The sycamore has long been
regarded as the largest deciduous tree
in North America, and its range of
growth is hardly second to that of any
other broad-leaf tree, for it can be
found from Maine to Florida, and as
far west as Kansas.

The bestowal of the prize on a
sycamore at Worthington, Ind., which
is forty-two feet three inches in cir-
cumference and 150 feet tall, draws at-
tention to the fact that nurserymen are
nowadays recommending the species
especially for city planting. They say
that long experience with sycamores
planted in city streets has shown that
the species is peculiarly able to with-
stand the smoke, dust and gases which
are usually an unavoidable complement
of urban life. In addition, the syca-

latter, there is hardly any eastern spe-
cies which is generally held so pictur-
esque as the sycamore. "With its strik-
ingly mottled bark and magnificent
stature and conformation, the sycamore
has a marked individuality and cannot
be mistaken for any other species,
either in the summer, when the foliage
conceals its structural form, or in the
winter, when the leaves are absent.

A common objection to the sycamore
as a lawn tree is its habit of dropping
its leaves before autumn. From this
characteristic it is sometimes called a
"dirty tree." This drawback, how-
ever, is practically the only failing that
the sycamore has, and it is offset by
many desirable qualities.

Valley Oak Not Useful.

On the other hand, there is little
prospect of popularity, foresters say,
for the valley oak of California, which
was decided to be the largest nut-bear-
ing tree in the United States, the con-
test unearthing a specimen in San
Benito county which is thirty-seven
feet six inches in circumference and
125 feet high. The valley oak is a
most beautiful tree, but it attains ma-
turity only after 300 or 400 years; its
wood is too tough, knotty and other-
wise imperfect to be good for lumber;
the tree grows too slowly to be planted

The Florists' Review

SlPTBMBBR 30, 1915.

for shade or decorative purposes, and,
being found only in California, it
would have a small field of usefulness.
Horticulturists say that the valley oak
is not popularly considered a nut-bear-
ing tree, for its acorns are not gener-
ally used for food, although, of course,
they are edible. Foresters say that
the chestnut and the black walnut are
the largest nut-bearing trees in this
country, and the contest did, in fact,
unearth a chestnut near Crestmont,
N. C, which is thirty-ihree feet four
irches in circumference and about
seventy-five feet tall.

Becords in Other Species.

The contest brought forth photo-
graphs and authentic descriptions of
337 trees in all parts of the United
States, making a distinctly valuable
contribution to existing knowledge of
native trees. It was found that, in all
probability, there is no living elm
larger than "The Great Elm" at
Wethersfield, Conn., which is twenty-
eight feet in circumference and about
100 feet tall, and is estimated to be
250 years old. Many remarkable speci-
mens of species which ordinarily attain
only small sizes were unearthed by
the contest, furnishing new records of
maximum growth. For example, a
sassafras was brought to light at Hor-
sham, Pa., which is fifteen feet ten
inches in circumference at four feet
from the ground, whereas not long be-
fore this a Georgia town claimed that
it had the largest sassafras tree in the
world, though this tree was only some-
thing over seven feet in circumference.
A white birch was found in Massachu-
setts with a girth of twelve feet two
inches; a pecan was found in Louisiana
with a circumference of nineteen feet
six inches, and a catalpa in Arkansas
with a girth of sixteen feet. The tall-
est tree found is a yellow poplar in
North Carolina, which is 198 feet high
and has a circumference of . thirty-f oui*
feet six inches.

The value of the contest lies in its
contribution of new information as to
the maximum growth attained by de-
ciduous species and the localities in
which the different species seem to
grow best. The relative sizes of the
coniferous species are fairly well estab-
lished, the bigtree of California, for
example, being the largest in the world,
but information on the size attained
by deciduous trees in this country has
been incomplete.

HOUSTON, TEX.

William C. Gloeckner, of Albany, N.
Y., has written to E. C. Kerr, president
of the Texas State Florists' Aasociation,
that he will organize a party from his
city for the Houston convention of the
S. A. F. He says that the florists of
his city expect to take advantage of
this opportunity to visit the south. It
is likely that this party will go by boat
from New York to New Orleans or Gal-
veston. Mr. Gloeckner writes: "Hous-
ton is a long way from home, but I am'
going to do everything in my power to
attend the convention next year and I
will try to get every florist in Albany
to accompany me on this trip." The
indications are, with plans being formed
so early, that this is going to be a
record-breaking convention.

The Texas state flower show promises
to exceed last year's show by 100 per
cent. About fifty per cent of the flo-

OF THE

Album of Designs

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)

HTHE 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 Bouauets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when
leady for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
show tlie finished work in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard
designs and many new^ and heretofore unpublished pieces.

The Market.

September weddings, though not elab-
orate, have helped to make trade more
active. The weather has become more
seasonable and every night and morn-
ing the air is crisp. Growers have
eagerly welcomed the change, as their
stock was progressing too rapidly dur-
ing the heat wave of two weeks ago.
The market shows business fairly active
and good business was enjoyed last
week. There is a huge quantity of
stock on hand. September 26 was the
day on which the Boman Catholics ob-
served "the blessing of the graves"
in this locality and immense quantities
of asters and gladioli were sold. The
only difficulty was that the general pub-
lic demanded cheap flowers, which
meant a lot of extra work without any
remuneration. Gladioli have about
gone, but asters are in fairly good
shape. Carnations are plentiful, but
they are short-stemmed and there is
.practically no sale for them. Boses
have been plentiful of late. Easter
lilies are moving slowly, but not at any
extravagant figure. Valley was in good
condition and sold well last week. A
good supply of orchids is being received
and clears nicely. A few gardenias
arrived and are sold freely. Gaillardias,
anemones, tuberoses, salpiglossis and
other hardy annuals are found useful
in the making up of cheap baskets.

Various Notes.

Walter Salmon spent the greater part
of last week at his farm, at Macedon,
N. Y.

Being somewhat short-handed at the
wholesale house last week, George Hart
has been glad of the services rendered
him by his son, Bichard.

Visitors to the trade last week in-
cluded Trautman & Smith, of Geneva,
N. Y.; Edward Sick, of Canandaigua,
N. Y.; S. W. Morgan, of Le Roy, N. Y.,
and S. A. Anderson and Jacob Weise,
of Buffalo.

George Cramer has returned from a
short business trip. He has been look-
ing over a large quantity of specimen
rock, with which he will build an exten-
sive rockery. He has been busy mak-
ing a number of window decorations
with the new rock.

Salter Bros., East Main street, are
showing a good collection of Boston,
Whitmani and maidenhair ferns, as well
as large vases of gladioli and hardy
hydrangea blooms.

Nearly every uptown florist and a
large number of out-of-town concerns
were busy with pieces for the funeral
of Eev. Rob Roy Converse. More
than 200 designs were received, includ- I

AVIATOR

$100.00 per 1000

There is at present no thoroughly satisfactory scarlet carna-
tion. We believe we have such a variety in Aviator and we have
decided to disseminate it, beginning delivery January 1, 1916.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NEW CARNATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT BY US SINCE
WE INTRODUCED ENCHANTRESS. AND YOU MAY BE SURE WE ARE CONFIDENT
IT'S GOOD OR WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR NAME AND REPUTATION BACK OF IT.

DESCRIPTION— Parents, red sport of Maceo and red seedling. Color, intense scarlet, very bright. Stem, thin, wiry
aud stiff. Flowers, flue, full and nicely fringed. Habit, clean; upright growth; every break makes a rapid advance, pro-
duciug a profusion of flue flowers in a very short time. The most prolific carnation ever offered to the trade, barring none.
No disease, no grass, easy to propagate. There are larger reds offered, but Aviator will outbloom them 3 to 1. We have
plants of Aviator on which we can count 24 buds for the first crop and the houses easily average 15 buds per plant.

WE HAVE PLANTED 40,000 AVIATOR

One house is to be devoted exclusively to the production of cuttinsrs. The other houses

are to produce blooms. INSPECTION INVITED.

At the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, September 21 to 23, on 11 entries we took 8 first prizes,
2 second prizes, 1 third prize. If you want first-class cut carnation blooms, order of us.

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR.

Flower Show a Big Success.

The Illinois state fair flower show
was an excellent success this year,
rather better than usual, in spite of the
fact that the competition in the later
days was not so strong as earlier in the
week. The fair runs' so many days that
the cut flower classes are repeated,
some of them being up three times and
calling for exactly the same exhibit
each time. The principal awards were
published in last week's issue of The
Review. The later ones follow:

Twenty-flve American Beauty — Poehlmanu
Bros. Co., first; Capitol Greenhouses, second;
A. T. Hey Floral Co., third.

Twenty-flve Richmond — Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
first; Capitol Greenhouses, second; A. T. Hey
Floral Co., third.

Twenty-flve Killarney — Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
first; Capitol Greenhouses, second; A. C. Brown,

the length of time established.

The Rorists' Review

SKPTBlfBaR 30. 1915.

BALTIMOEE.

The Market. ^^

There was a great change in tempera-
ture last week, the mercury dropping
from the heights of 95 degrees to the
depths of 40 degrees or thereabouts.
Despite this great change in weather,
business remains about the same. The
cool nights possibly serve to bring out
dahlias in larger quantities, if such a
thing is possible, for at present the
dahlias are in full crop. The wholesale
houses do not handle so many dahlias
as would be expected, but in the mar-
kets they are to be found in unlimited
quantities. The street peddlers who
handle the surplus roses and carnations
are now peddling dahlias exclusively.
In the wholesale cut flower market
there is little variety. Asters have
about disappeared. Boses are far be-
low the standard of quality. The carna-
tions have good flowers, but short
stems. A few white chrysanthemums
could be had last week and, as no large
quantity was coming in, they were sold
at prices consistent with their quality.

Various Notes.

Some of the growers in the vicinity
of Towson reported a light frost Sep-
tember 22. There was no serious dam-
age done, but a number of dahlias were
bitten, especially the tops of plants.

The Leo Niessen Co. is handling some
good-sized disbudded dahlias.

Jesse P. King, of Mount Airy, was a
visitor to town last week.

IL. H. A. Klein is cutting his first
Golden Glow and Smith's Advance
chrysanthemums.

Stevenson Bros, are marketing a good
crop of Killarney Brilliant and Russell
roses.

James Hamilton is shipping in a large
quantity of Mrs. George Elger roses
to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.

J. J. Perry has been making frequent
visits to Washington, to visit his
mother, who was recently stricken
with paralysis. She is in a serious
condition, being 82 years of age.

W. F. E.

Fremont, Neb. — A large force of men
has been at work making repairs at
the greenhouses of C. H. Green. The
damage caused by a recent hail storm
made it necessary to replace the glass
on all the buildings.

Willlamsport, Pa. — The greenhouses
of the Williamsport Floral Co., near
High street, are being torn down, and
new ones built on the property to the
south. Where the greenhouses for-
merly stood three double brick resi-
dences will be built this summer.

The Florists' Review

BfiPIEMBKB 30, 1915.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

Horticultural Society Show.

The eighty-third annual flower show
of the New Haven County Horticul-
tural Society, held September 16 and
17, brought out the usual large number
of exhibitors. There was one thing
particularly commented on by the visi-
tors, the artistic staging of . the en-
tries. It was apparent that exhibitors
had given time and thought to the ar-
rangement of their exhibits, for there
was little of that sameness of display
which characterizes so manj' flower
shows.

The exhibits, entered by both pro-
fessionals and amateurs, consisted of
dahlias of numerous varieties, asters,
gladioli, roses, cosmos, palms and
ferns.

The judges of the show were Maurice
Fuld, vice-president of the Knight &
Struck Co., of New York city; L. W.
Tingeley, of New London, and A. L.
Church, of Ansonia.

Among the trade winners were W.
Jost, dahlia grower, of East Haven;
P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck, N. Y.,
John Slocombe, of New Haven, and
John Lewis Childs, Inc., of Flowerfield,
N. Y.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell,
Conn., showed five varieties of roses
and six varieties of phloxes. John
Lewis Childs, Inc., showed eighty large
vases of gladioli, each vase containing
a different variety.

The largest display of the show was
that of John Slocombe, of 555 Town-
send avenue. New Haven. In addi-
tion to winning many first awards,
Mr. Slocombe received a certificate of
merit for a new dahlia, not introduced
prior to 1913, and an award of recogni-
tion for a new seedling dahlia.

ROCHESTER, N. H.

At the Kochester fair, September 21
to 24, the floral court was as attrac-
tive as ever, thanks to the good work
done by Frank I. Shorey, superintend-
ent of this department. Dahlias were
shown in great numbers by J. K. Alex-
ander and W. P. Lothrop, East Bridge-
water, Mass.; Mrs. S. H. Walker and
others. Gladioli were splendidly shown
by H. E. Meader, Dover, N. H., who
also captured many prizes for designs,
carnations, roses, etc., and by J. K.
Alexander. W. H. Elliott, from Mad-
bury, N. H., had an excellent display
of roses in large variety. The sweet
peas of Mrs. Ellen Trask Roberts,
Alton, N, H., were remarkable for the
last half of September. W. N. Craig,
Brookline, Mass., oflBciated as judge.

The Florists' Review

Skftbubbb 80. 191f.

SYSACUSE, N. Y.

. The Market.

Eeal summer weather visited us two
weeks ago. It was the hottest week
of the summer, the temperature rising
to 92 degrees September 16. Heavy
thundershowers flooded all the low-
lands, severely damaging the stock of
the growers. The florists' business has
been good.

Exhibitors at the State Fair.

The New York state fair brought out
the flower buyers in full force. Gla-
dioli and asters were the leaders in cut
flowers. All the flower stores had win-
dow displays of gladioli and ferns.

Werner Bultmann had a fine exhibit
at the New York state fair, consisting
of stove and greenhouse plants. He
also had a table decoration of red roses
and maidenhair ferns, for which he won
first prize.

Chester A. Harris showed many floral
designs and wedding bouquets. He won
first prize for this entry.

Henry Youell had one of the finest
exhibits of gladioli ever shown at the
fair. He was awarded first prize for
them.

The P. R. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown,
N. Y., won first prize for an exhibit of
ferns.

The Wm. F. Kasting Co., of Buffalo,
had exhibits of cut roses, for which it
recpived many prizes.

The Syracuse Florists* Club had two
exhibits at the fair, the wholesalers re-
ceiving first prize and the retailers sec-
ond prize.

Various Notes.

Out-of-town visitors were F. R. Pier-
son, of Tarrytown, N. Y.; Wm. F. Kast-
ing, of Buffalo; W. Workman, of Os-
wego, N. Y.; C. Hike, of Cortland,
N. Y., and F. Baker, of Utica.

Charles Bowne, the Rich street florist,
suffered a heavy loss from the flood of
September 14. He lost everything out-
doors and in the greenhouses. The
water stood above the tops of his
benches. A fine lot of asters coming
into flower were washed away.

The Baker Floral Co. is cutting car-
nations from the new stock. A bouse
of Boston ferns is being grown for the
fall season. H. F. B.

Grand Bapids, Mich. — The Benjamin
Street Floral & Nursery Co. is rebuild-
ing this fall and putting a new front
on the retail store. Mr. Allersma, the
proprietor, reports that business during
the summer was a little better than his
expectations.

direenhouse Heating.

SuBSCBiBEBS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

WHY THE LACK OF HEAT?

I have one greenhouse, 20x50. One
end is attached to a shed. The side
walls are six feet high to the gutters
and the front is glass. The height to
the ridge is thirteen feet. I have a
1,600-foot, hot water. No. 2 Kewanee
boiler. Two 2-inch mains rise directly
from the boiler, slope to the far end
of the greenhouse and empty into six
2-inch coils on each side of the house.
These return the water by natural
gravity to the boiler.

The circulation seems to be good, as
in thirty minutes I can have the water
boiling in the returns, but I have not
succeeded in carrying a temperature of
more than 40 degrees in zero weather.
Would a circulator cause sufficient im-
provement so that I could carry 50 de-
fees, or should I put in more pipes?
grew vegetables last winter, but in-
tend to grow more flowers this year
and should like to maintain 50 to 60
degrees of heat. I am planning to put
in two benches; would you advise put-
ting pipes under themf

F. E. P.— Ind.

As I understand the statement, the
house has no glass in the side walls
and can only be heated to 40 degrees,
although there are two 2-inch flows and
twelve 2-inch returns and the water in
the returns is boiling.

With the amount of radiation men-
tioned, there should be no difficulty in
maintaining a temperature of 60 de-
grees in zero weather if the water in
the returns is at 160 degrees. The
boiler is two or three times as large
as is needed, and the boiling of the
water may result in retarding the cir-
culation. This, of course, may be cor-
rected by attaching a mercury genera-
tor. There is ample radiation, but, un-
less the generator is used, it will be
advisable to use one of the returns
in each coil as a flow pipe. Each of
the flow pipes should be connected with
the expansion tank. A part of the
pipes, at least, should be under the
benches. __^

TO HEAT HOUSE AND LEAN-TO.

We have just completed a green-
house 20x60, with walls four feet six
inches high of wood. In the south end
the glass runs to within three feet of
^e ground. The gable is eleven feet
high. We wish to grow lettuce and
carnations. In this section the tem-
perature seldom goes to zero, but ouce

To heat a house 20x60 feet, for
growing lettuce and carnations, in
zero weather will require only 400
square feet of radiation, and if, as
stated, the boiler is rated for 5,000
square feet of radiation, it is many
times larger than is required for this

THE COAL MABEET.

If the correct impression is conveyed
by the latest reports, Opportunity is
DOW knocking at the door of the florist
who has any empty coal bins — knock-
ing loudly and peremptorily, and mut-
tering to himself, "This is my last call
for the season," That is to say. Op-
portunity appears to be knocking while
this is being written, but, being a hasty
and impatient old fellow, he may be
off in a huff before these words reach
the reader. Ue says that there is a
mysterious break or tumble in the price
of 'smokeless coal, though the prices of
other classes of coal are fairly firm and
in some cases are tending upward.

The Black Diamond describes the sit-
uation thus: "The gossip in the Chi-
<:ago trade for this week has concerned
itself mainly with the status of smoke-
less coal prices. It became common
knowledge early in the week that quite
A lot of mine-run was being sold for
$1.25 and that some lump and egg was
being sold for $1.75, while quite a lot
of it was going at $2.00. Those who
are interested in this market are trying
to find the cause. ♦ • * Whatever
may be the cause, the fact remains that
«m^keless prices are off in Chicago for
the time being." The same authority
•ays again: "Smokeless coal has been
far from satisfactory. Whether it is
the result of a low price made on a big
tonnage in the east, or whether it is
the result of a local situation in Chi-
cago in August, it is now a fact that
the market is soft."

Gentlt'men: In reply to yours of March 10th,
we purchased a set of your "Sectional Concrete
Bench Forms" in 1912 and removed all our
wooden benches, rr placing them with the con-
crete. We could have saved quite a lot of money
If these benches had been installed when we
first started in tlie business.

We are very much pleased with your bench
and think it the most satisfactory one we have
seen.

We ran the wheelbarrows, filled with soil, over
them a week after they were made, and we did
not have one sln«rle slab to crack or break for us.

The Market.

The supply shortened considerably
last week, and, should we have a kill-
ing frost this week, the chances are
that the receipts of greenhouse stock
would hardly be sufficient for the needs.
At the time of writing, however, the cut
is more than enough to take care of
requirements. Boses are good and are
in heavy supply. The cut of carna-
tions is large, but many of the blooms
«ome from the stock in the field. Lilies
were scarce toward the end of last
week, but by the end of this week will
undoubtedly be plentiful again.
Dahlias and cosmos are in good supply
and are excellent. Asters and gladi-
oli are nearly done for. Other offerings
include rubrums, valley and orchids.
Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell was the first in the
market with new boxwood this fall.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been finding a good market for its
excellent late gladioli.

E. G. Gillett and Clarence Ohmer
plan to motor to Culver, Ind., this
week.

W. Frank & Sons, Portland, Ind.,
have been shipping heavy cuts of roses
to L. H. Kyrk.

E. E. Blackshaw, representing the
A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, was among
the recent visitors. C. H. H.

BUFFALO, N. Y.

Owing to the cool weather, business
last week was more encouraging than
that of the week previous. Gladioli and
asters are still to be seen, but they are
deteriorating in quality. A good cut
of Russell, Key and Ophelia roses is
being marketed. Mums are more plen-
tiful, but the supply does not exceed
the demand. More carnations of better
<]uality and longer stems are to be
had. Consignments of dahlias are ar-
riving and find a good market. The
stock of miscellaneous flowers consists
chiefly of larkspurs, cornflowers, ru-
brums, dahlias and calendulas.

The Market.

Trade was better last week. The
rains continue about every third day.
There has been considerable funeral
work.

Some first-class roses are coming in,
although Beauties are not much im-
proved. Dahlias are still plentiful.
Gladioli and asters are scarce. Mums
are more plentiful, but the sale is lim-
ited. Carnations are beeoniing better
as the season advances and some first-
class stock is available.

Various Notes.

Homer Wiegand is away on a two
weeks' hunting and fishing trip in
northern Wisconsin.

John J. Eisner has bought about fifty
acres of ground near his place and ex-
pects to plant half of it in flowers next
year.

Alfred W, Brandt has sold his flower
shop and expects to embark in the

Clarence Thomas has been showing

fine carnations.

George Wiegand is quite busy. He

dence on North Illinois street, near

The Market.

The cooler weather has been helpful.
Trade seems to be better and certainly
the flowers will be better, but the ef-
fect of the recent hot spell can be no-
ticed on all kinds of stock. Gladioli
have almost dropped out of sight. The
asters are extremely small and have no
special value; it will almost be a bless-
ing when they disappear entirely.
Chrysanthemums are now among the
regular stock; Smith's Advance is the
best. Cattleyas and oncidiums are
more plentiful and are of fine quality.

The retail stores seem to be doing a
fair amount of business, but there are
no large orders.

We had the first frost in the morn-
ing of September 27, in the low-lying
places, but it did no damage. Clarke.

MXLWAUKEi:.

/ The Market.

Business in general remains quiet.
There is not much of anything doing
and funeral work was again the main-
stay of the business last week. The
weather has been warm and the rain
has not been as frequent as heretofore.
It does not seem probable that there
will be any material increase until after
the first killing frost, when it is to be
expected there will be a sharp influx
of life into the market.

Soses are sufficiently plentiful to
handle all orders, but there is no sur-
plus that has to be moved at cheap
prices. The stock is in fine condition
and is well worth what it is bringing.
The demand remains strong and this
stock is moving readily. Carnations
are coming in more heavily every day.
The stock is in fine shape and is clean-
ing up easily. Colored stock is more
easily obtainable than white, which is
still quite scarce. Prices are fair and
there is nothing held over from day to
day. There is still a good quantity of
asters in the market, but since carna-
tions are to be had they are not selling
well. The quality has deteriorated to
a great extent and this fact also helps
to keep this stock from moving readily.
Gladioli have not been much of a
money-maker this year, as the stock
was disposed of for next to nothing
most of the time. They are still with
us, but the quality is steadily becoming
poorer and the quantity is much smaller
than it has been. Valley has been
somewhat scarce and last week the en-
tire crop was sold in a hurry each day.
The quality is fine and the trade is
taking everything in sight. Lilies and
nibrums are in good supply, but are
moving slowly.

Various Notes.

William Currie, of Currie .Bros. Co.,
384 East Water street, has been ill for
several days with ptomaine poisoning.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Currie were ill for
a time and are still weak, although Mr.
Currie is again at the store.

Saturday, September 18, was cele-
brated in fine style by the flower buy-
ing public of Jewish extraction, as it
was the Jewish New Year. Florists
catering to this trade were exception-
ally busy, and N. W. Perstein reported
good business for that occasion. A
large variety of stock was disposed of
at this firm 's new store, opened less
than a year ago. They report that they
have been kept quite busy during the
last few days by the opening displays
of millinery shops in their locality.
This firm 's delivery car, a new acquisi-
tion, seems to be somewhat unruly and
is not as yet thoroughly domesticated.
Recently it demolished a fence and
then used its best efforts on a telegraph
pole, with results that were not entirely
to its advantage. It is able to be about,
however, as cars of its make seem to
have tremendous vitality.

Among the visitors last week were R.
O. Haentze, of Fond du Lac, Wis., and
Edwin J. Fancourt, of S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., Philadelphia. H. J. S.

Kansas City, Mo. — This city has a
new retail flower shop, in the new
Hotel Muehlbach. The proprietor is
Patrick Larkin, who says that the first
month 's receipts proved to be more
than just encouraging.

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business improved substantially last
week. The weather has changed from
extreme heat to more seasonable con-
ditions. Autumn foliage and early
chrysanthemums formed attractive dis-
plays in the downtown shops. Wed-
dings are more numerous than they
were a few weeks ago and they call
for a quantity of good flowers.

Roses, although scarce on account of
the heavy demand and the passing of
the better grades of outdoor flowers,
are considerably better in quality.
Shawyer is the leader at present. Bus-
sell, Sunburst and Ward are good sec-
onds. The sunshine and lower tempera-
ture have done wonders to the green-
house stock. Carnations are fast im-
proving and chrysanthemums are be-
coming larger and finer. Funeral work
had a big call last week and several
large store openings have reduced the
supply of stock. Dahlias are plentiful
and of good quality. Asters and gladi-
oli are about over. There are good
Beauties on the market.

Various Notes.

The opening of the Reed Shoe Co.,
September 22, occasioned extensive
decorations, which were executed by
Miss Flick. Chrysanthemums in white
and yellow and Shawyer and Sunburst
roses, combined with autumn foliage,
were used effectively. The Flick Floral
Co. closed a deal last week whereby it
will erect a large business block on
Harrison street. The property has a
frontage of seventy-five feet and is 100
feet deep. The building has been leased
for ten years by the Ford Automobile
Co.

Miss Margaret Vesey gave a lunch-
eon September 20 at the English tea
room, in honor of her guest, Mrs. Morri-
son, of Decatur, Ind.

Visitors last week were Mr. Moriconi,
of the Moriconi Statuary Co., Cincin-
nati, and J. F. Dayton, of Madison
Basketcraft Co., Madison, 0. B. F.

Fort Dodge, la.— The North Floral
Co. has moved to its new quarters, at

FUSSING UP THE xt
xt AUTUMN WINDOW

Now that the dog days are done, the duck pond and water wheel, that
have proved so magnetic during the summer, must he replaced iy a sea-
sonable decoration for autumn. Suggestions of harvest and plenty are
most likely to cause the passer-hy to loosen his grip on his pockethook.

witmi

UMMEE ia gone, the
weather man says. The
rest of us did not know it
had been iiere; it seemed
like alternate doses of
March and April. But
y^~\ with the passing of the

Ci^ $^ straw hat and the sport
^^==J\ shirt from the male head
and bosom, and of the furs
from the female shoulders, we recog-
nized that autumn had come. With the
apparel above mentioned, passed also
the florist's summer window, of duck
ponds, brooks, waterfalls and other sug-
gestions of coolness. Its season is past.
The window artist turns his attention
to appropriate and attractive decora-
tions for fall.

A Matter of Money.

At this time his task is not merely a
matter of filling the window with a
pleasing display. If he does only that,
he has lost sight of his present opportu-
nity. The retailer's window, if it has
drawing power, may prove a matter of
dollars and cents to the proprietor by
reminding the passers-by of the oppor-
tunity of partially continuing the de-
parted pleasures of summer by means of
greenhouse flowers. "While the impres-
sion of the beauty and pleasantness lent
the dining table and
drawing room by the
flowers from the gar-
den is still strong in
the housewife's mind,
the florist may the
more easily win a cus-
tomer through sug-
gesting a continuance
of those decorations
with greenhouse flow-
ers.

The growth of the
flower trade must
come, in the main,
through the more ex-
tensive use of flowers
in everyday life.
There is a limit to
the amount of busi-
ness a store of a giv-
en size can handle for
a special day, but
there is no restriction
to a store's capacity
to care for daily
trade, for it may ex-
pand gradually as the
trade increases. For
this reason those men
must be regarded as
leaders among the re-

tailers who are increasing, slowly, to be
sure, the number of persons making use
of flowers for ordinary occasions.

On the Side.

To do this by means of a window dis-
play is the present opportunity of the
decorator. He should, therefore, make
use of flowers and arrangements most
adapted to that end. At the same time
he will do well to keep the tone of the
window seasonable. If the passer-by re-
ceives the impression that he or she can
continue a little longer the enjoyment
that was obtained from the blooms from
the garden by the purchase of some flo-
rists' flowers, he will be in the most
likely mood to buy. Therefore, the flow-
ers used in the autumn window displays
should be, not roses and carnations —
plenty of time for them m winter — but
asters, dahlias and the various annuals
and perennials that appear on the mar-
ket from week to week at this time.
Sales of these do not mount up in dol-
lars and cents so rapidly as do those of
the more pretentious staples, but blooms
of that character are the most attractive
to the family just back from the coun-
try.

As a suggestion by the way, let me
remark that people would not buy blown
roses and wilted carnations from de-

partment stores and street vendors for
10 to 25 cents a dozen if florists offered
them, with emphasis enough to get their
attention, first-class stock of the vari-
ous seasonable flowers that sell at
wholesale by the bunch at this time. It
is not roses or carnations that such peo-
ple particularly want, but flowers for
the dining table or for the parlor. They
would pay twice or thrice department
store prices for fresh flowers from the
florist, but do not wish the transaction
to reach the dollar mark when they are
buying for everyday uses. The florist
who caters to this want is increasing
the volume of his business without di-
minishing the number of his larger and
more profitable sales. He is, on the con-
trary, paving the way to increased num-
bers of larger-sized sales. No more em-
phatic proof of the hold taken by the
flower buying habit can be offered than
the trade's record during the last year.
Tailors and clothiers went to the wall
by dozens, but bankrupt florists were
few; the public could get along with-
out the usual new clothes but not with-
out the usual flowers.

Back to Windows.

Though the foregoing may seem a di-
gression, it serves to demonstrate that
the window artist at this time should
bend his efforts to
draw the people who
are not now on the
store's books. They
will yield more read-
ily to the lure of the
florists' window while
the memories of the
summer garden flow-
ers are still strong.

But while the deco-
rator is making his
window seasonable,
he should not go too
far. If he fills his
window with autumn
foliage, goldenrod
and other roadside
flowers, he may
arouse in the mind of
the passer-by a desire
for another automo-
bile ridQ in the coun-
try rather than a
wish for the florist's
flowers. Some autumn
foliage may well be
used for background,
but the thing to hit
the eye of the spec-
tator must be the
flowers that are to be

FLOATS THAT ADVERTISE.

sold to him when he enters the store.

Baskets of autumn flowers make a
good display at this time. To more
easily draw attention to them, the win-
dow decorator may add something such
as the cornucopia in the autumn win-
dow of Hoyt Bros. Co., Spokane, Wash.,
which is reproduced on the preceding
page. This horn of plenty was six feet
long and made of Oregon grape, or
mahonia, apples, wheat and yellow
chrysanthemums. Out of it poured an
abundance of fruit, vegetables, bas-
kets of flowers and blooming plants.
This proved a good window for the har-
vest season.

Other window features similar to this
will readily occur to the decorator. The
arrival of the football season offers op-
portunities, especially in a college
town. The world's series and various
city series of baseball also present sug-
gestions. Other things besides sports
may be featured as well. The three
points to be borne in mind are: Make
the window seasonable, use autumn
flowers, and aim to get new trade be-
fore people have become accustomed to
the absence of flowers again.

NEW HOLIDAY FOR FLORISTS.

Mothers' day and Memorial day have
proved so profitable to florists that they
will at least consider with interest the

proposal of a new holiday, called Mem-
ory day, by a Michigan man. The
origin of it reminds one of that of
Mothers' day. J. T. Daniells, of St.
Johns, Mich., having lost both his
wife and his only child, was filled with
the desire of bettering the cemeteries
and beautifying the graves therein.
With this purpose in view, he. offered
a resolution to the Michigan State
Association of Farmers and to the
State Grange. The Michigan legisla-
ture took the matter up at the follow-
ing session, and now the governor of
Michigan has set apart September 30
as Memory day. Mr. Daniells is hoping
that Congress will comply with the re-
quest to declare it a national day. It
is not to be a legal holiday, but merely
a matter of sentiment.

So long as cemeteries continue to ex-
ist they should be cared for, an4 not
allowed to become weed patches. So
far the idea is a good one. But if the
day is to be a day of planting vines
and flowers, and not merely one of
weed-pulling, there arises the question
whether the spring, rather thaa the end
of September, is not the season for
such a holiday.

No matter what the time of year,
however, it will pay the florist to be
among the leaders in his community in
advocating such a day. Florists'

How an Illlnote Floritt Adverliaed bis Business in a Parade.

Prize-winners Not Always Best.

At this time of the year, when in-
dustrial, municipal and business-boosts
ing parades are almost as numerous as
are the cities and towns in the United
States, a few words regarding trade
floats, from an advertising standpoint,
will be timely.

It is apparent, from photographs of
trade floats received by The Review,
that many florists who participate in
parades do not always utilize the fac-
tor that is of high advertising value —
the thing that will unmistakably ad-
vertise the florists' business. The
trouble is that some florists are too
confldent that flowers are highly typi-
cal and representative of the florists'
business. As a matter of fact, the ma-
jority of people do not clearly asso-
ciate flowers with the florist, any more
than they would clearly associate a
score of pretty girls with the telephone
business or a wagon load of books with
one of the local book shops.

For instance, John Smith, florist at
100 Main street, may bedeck his little
Henry Ford with hundreds of gladioli
and asters and bring home first prize
as the best exhibitor, but he is not
getting all the advertising he could,
at least not enough to warrant the ex-
pense he has been to. The crowd and
judges greatly admire Smith's float,
but they do not associate the flowers
with Smith's store. The public's in-
terest is centered on the display as a
beautiful picture, and what is seen of
Smith's sign at the top is soon for-
gotten. The beauty of Smith's float
defeats its purpose. It distracts the
attention of. the crowd from the fact
that the float is John Smith's, and the
flowers are the kind that John Smith
handles. To make a float an advertis-
ing success, something more typical of
the business than flowers must be
used. John Smith's float would almost
serve Harry Smith, cosmetics, or Wil-
liam Smith, chocolates, as well.

Floats Should Typify Business.

Now, had John Smith used a minia-
ture facsimile of the exterior of his
store, with flowers in the small display
windows, he would have vividly ac-
quainted the spectators with the na-
ture of his business, the name of his
business and the location and appear-
ance of his store. The float would
efliciently advertise John Smith, and
not, as in the former case, merely
please the senses of the crowd. In plan-
ning a float it would be well to bear
in mind that the first consideration
should be, "Does my float thoroughly
advertise my business?" and not,
"Shall I win one of the prizes?"
There is a vast difference between the
two.

Two Trade Floats That Won.

There recently have come to the at-
tention of The Review the floats of
two florists who seem to have caught
the right idea. They are the work of
the Enid Floral Co., of Enid, Okla., and
the Freeport Floral Co., of Freeport,
111., both of which are reproduced here-
witk.

held at Enid, September 16. Coming
along in a line of 114 entries, this float
was an advertising success because it
quickly informed the spectators who,
what and where is the Enid Floral Co.
Note the little greenhouse nestling in
a miniature garden. And the chimney!
That was a master touch.

What could be more significant of a
greenhouse establishment than a smoke-
stack? That little red chimney car-
ried more advertising for the owners
than two vases of prize-winning
Beauties. The man in white is Frank
Bieber, grower, and the other is R.
Brand, a member of the firm.

The other illustration shows the float
of the Freeport Floral Co., which won
first prize in the parade held during a
home-coming celebration at Freeport.
This float is a good specimen of what
is meant by a typical float. It adver-
tised the Freeport Floral Co. more effi-
ciently than would an automobile cov-
ered with thousands of flowers. It will
be noted here that while neither of
these floats was elaborately decorated
with flowers, the ingenuity of each
brought home the bacon in the form of
first and second prizes.

MYEE BUYS BUILDINO.

Myer Gottlieb, who trades as Myer,
609 Madison avenue. New York city,
is now the owner of the entire building
in which is his store, shown in the il-
lustration on this page. For his busi-
ness he uses the entire ground floor
and the basement, as well as two stor-
age stores on Fifty-ninth street. The
upper floors are occupied by business
firms and artists. Tlie immense win-
dow space enables him to maintain ar-
tistic floral effects continually. The
whole enterprise is indicative of the
tireless energy of the man, who less
than ten years ago was salesman and
buyer for one of the leading florists of
Fifth avenue. J. Austin Shaw.

A ZENITH CITY WINDOW.

"While Duluth may not be consid-
ered one of the large cities of the
United States, there is nothing to pre-
vent us from getting up a little dis-
play for the edification of the savages
up in this neck of the woods." So

writes Edward P. Kreimer, of the Du-
luth Floral Co., DulutH, Minn., and to
better show the trade what Mr. Krei-
mer modestly describes as a " little
display," a photograph of the window
is reproduced herewith. This rather
elaborate display was made for the co-
operative fall openings of the Duluth
merchants, who boost business each fall
by means of window displays and ad-
vertising. The illustration pictures

better than words the decoration of
the Duluth Floral Co., at 121 West Su-
perior street.

Associated with Mr. Kreimer in the
business are -Oliver J. Eischen and W.
W. Seekins, the latter formerly in busi-
ness under his own name at 302 East
Superior street.

NEW YORK SPRING SHOW.

The schedule of premiums to be
offered at the International Flower
Show, to be held in the Grand Central
Palace, New York, April 5 to 12, 1916,
has been issued and copies may be ob-
tained on application to the secretary.

The premiums offered are again on a
liberal scale, and there are some nota-
ble additions to the classes. In the
section for commercial growers cov-
ering roses in pots and tubs, there are
three prizes offered for a display of
rose plants, arranged as a rose garden
covering 500 square feet. The prizes
are $500, $300 and $200. In this class
last year there were but two prizes,
of $300 and $200.

Some important additions have been
made to the classes covering bulbous
plants. There is a class devoted to
private growers covering a display of
bulbs in flower, to occupy 200 square
feet, arranged for effect; prizes $150
and $100. There is also a class call-
ing for a display of bulbs, etc., ar-
ranged as a Dutch bulb garden, cover-
ing 500 square feet, appropriate acces-
sories permitted; pri-zes $250, $150 and
$100. This class is open to all.

In the commercial class for display
of cut roses, covering 200 square feet,
the first prize is increased to $250 and
the second prize is increased to $200.
Bougainvilleas are to be featured so as
to form a distinct attraction among the
groups of flowering plants, prizes of
$75 and $50 being offered for the best
two groups arranged for effect, cover-
ing 100 square feet.

A new feature is the class for a col-
lection of new Holland plants, covering
100 square feet; prizes $50 and $25.

Rock gardens are to be another im-
portant feature, a commercial class
for such gardens, covering a space
10x30, suitable accessories permitted,
having been introduced with prizes of
$250 and $150.

A full and complete exhibition in the
trade section is practically assured, the
contracts already accepted aggregating
in value upward of $10)000.

The entertainment features of the
show will, it is expected, be of the
usual high standard and fully in ac-
cord with the purposes of the show.

Spanish Iii&

Spanish iris bulbs increase in popu-
larity, as their ease of culture and
value for cutting becomes better
known. They are so inexpensive that
every florist can afford to try some.
In additon to being cultivated in flats,
they can be successfully grown in beds
or benches in a cool house. They are
also hardy and well adapted for out-
door culture. As these irises start to
grow soon after planting, do not keep
them in a dark cellar, and do not
<50ver with sand or ashes. Good varie-
ties to grow are Louise, porcelain blue;
British Queen, pure white; Cajanus,
yellow; Midley, pale blue.

OladioU.

Oladioli of the small-bulbed, or
nanus, type need treatment similar to
that of the Spanish iris, and can be
successfully cultivated in either flats
or benches. The two most popular com-
mercial varieties are Peach Blossom,
pink, and Blushing Bride, white with
crimson blotches. The Bride, or Col-
villei alba, is a pure white variety.
Orange Queen is orange scarlet in
<5olor, and Pink Perfection, bright rose.

Anemones and Sanuncull.

The Persian ranunculi and such
anemones as fulgens, St. Brigid and
The Bride are prized in early spring
by many critical buyers. All need
cool treatment, and they succeed best
in benches or flats. Kanunculi may
also be grown in 6-inch pans, six to
eight bulbs in each. Sometimes it is
possible to grow these in a violet house
where any violet plants chance to die
out. They are also sometimes dotted
thinly among the violet plants.

Miscellaneous Bulbs.

Among bulbs which find a place in
some florists' windows in spring and
which are not generally known or
grown, are ixias, of which Wonder and
crateroides major are splendid varie-
ties; tritonias of the crocata type, of
a lovely salmon orange color; sparaxis
and babianas. All these succeed best
in 6-inch or 7-inch pans of rather light
but sandy soil, in a cool greenhouse,
with a minimum of 45 degrees. They
need more careful watering than other
bulbs. Without it many will rot off
below the soil.

Nerlnes.

The nerines, or Guernsey lilies, as
they are commonly called, are already
showing flower spikes. To flower them
at all successfully, it is necessary to
have them well potbound and to give
them a thorough baking through the
summer. As soon as spikes show, stand
the plants on a bench in a cool green-
house and give them some water. Ne-
rines flower at a time when there is a
comparative dearth of blooming plants,
and for that reason are extremely use-
ful. Their slow rate of propagation

and somewhat high price militate
against their extended use commer-
cially, but some growers, who cater to
high-class stores, have taken them in
hand of late years.

Poinsettias.

The nights are becoming much cooler
and care must be given the poinsettias,
or a loss of foliage will surely result.
Water more carefully and guard against
excessive dryness or anything approach-
ing sogginess. iLet the night tempera-
ture be about 55 degrees, advancing it
to 60 degrees as the bracts show. Make
up any late propagated stock into pans,
using small ferns, asparagus or cyperus
among them. Plants which are well es-
tablished in pots or pans should have
weak manure water once in four or five
days. It can be applied a little stronger
when the bracts appear.

Amaryllis.

Do not dry amaryllis plants off too
suddenly. If they have been in frames
through the summer, give them, if pos-
sible, a shelf in a sunny house and grad-
ually withhold the water supply, rather
than lay them on their sides under a
drippy bench. There is a general im-
pression that amaryllis plants want a
long, severe drying in order to make
them flower well. This is an utterly er-
roneous idea. Never mind if your plants
hold some green leaves until the next
season's flower spikes appear; they will
be all the better for it.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are easily injured by
frost while their growths are green

and immature, as they are after so
damp a summer. The plants, if not yet
lifted and potted, should be taken up
at once. Stand them in frames where
they will get a full exposure to the sun,
but where sashes will protect them from
frost or heavy rains. It is specially
necessary to use care with the French
hydrangeas, which are more tender than
H. Otaksa and more easily injured by
mold. Plants that were pot-grown
through the summer should be grad-
ually dried, in order to mature the wood
more thoroughly and fit them for early
forcing. Rambler Koses.

Where rambler roses have not been
pot-grown through the summer and
they are wanted for early forcing, the
lifting and potting should be no longer
delayed. Cut away the soft growth on
the shoots. Pot firmly. Stand them
where they will get lots of sunshine.
To prevent the plants from being blown
over, plunge the pots partly in soil or
coal ashes. These plants will wilt badly
for a time, but never mind that;
if carefully potted and occasionally
sprayed they will soon start to make
new roots, and it is surprising how
many they will make before the ar-
rival of cold weather.

Single Violets.

It is better not to house the single
violets until they have had one or two
moderate freezings. Usually from Octo-
ber 10 to 30 is a suitable time to plant
them, according to locality. Before they
are lifted they should be gone over in
the field and all runners removed. Do
not lift and plant any stock which
seems weak or at all sickly. To keep
violets in good condition, careful selec-
tion of stock is necessary. This is a
fact which even some large specialists
are now only becoming alive to. It
need hardly be said that violets like
a soil containing plenty of well de-
cayed manure, as they are strong feed-
ers. They also need a cool house, with
an average winter minimum of 40 to 42
degrees. Princess of Wales is much the
best variety.

HOW OLD WERE THE BULBS?

I was much interested in the inquiry
from E. H. J., which appeared on page
16 of The Review of September 23,
under the head of "Soil for Gladioli."
The inquirer said, in part: "We have
about 50,000 gladioli in several varie-
ties. Among some of the kinds there
seems to be a decrease the last two years
in the size of the blooms and in the
quantity and size of the bulbs. Every
spring, since we took up the gladioli
three years ago, we have changed their
growing location and kept the soil,
which is sixty per cent clay, well culti-
vated and weeded. All the varieties
have fine, long spikes. What is the rea-
son for the decrease in size of blooms
and in quantity of bulbs?"

After carefully reading the question.

and the reply to it by The Review's
correspondent, I was surprised to see
that the correspondent apparently had
failed to take note of the advanced age
of the bulbs. E. H. J. " took the bulbs
up three years ago." It would seem
that they must have been planted at
least once in order to be taken up. -It
is a fairly safe conclusion that E. H. J.
insisted on getting the largest bulbs
possible — nice, old, flat stock, say about
2%-inch. This would make the stock,
say, 3 years old when E. H. J. came
into possession. He has had them four
years and, allowing 2 years to be their
age when he got them, this would
make the bulbs at least 6 years old.
Will some grower please step forward
and give us a good line on fertilizer and
soil to use for 6-year-old gladiolus
bulbs f R. E. Huntington.

PUNCTURES IN ROSE STEMS.

I am sending, under separate cover,
a twig taken from a rose plant grown
under glass. The stems are punctured
at intervals of an inch or so, and I
find that there is an egg about an
eighth of an inch long in each puncture.
The work of this insect is not yet ex-
tensive among my plants, but I should
like to know what it is and what to do
with it. r. E. E,— Mo.

The punctures referred to are caused
by grasshoppers, which bite into the
stems of the roses, bruising the stems,
and lay their eggs in the bruise. As
the stems are cut off, either on account
of wilting or with the flowers, before
the eggs have, time to hatch, the punc-
tures do not affect the plants in any
way, and by keeping the doors and side
ventilators closed they can be prevent-
•ed almost entirely. W. J. K.

LOSINQ THEIB FOLIAGE.

I am sending you, by express, two
Killarney Brilliant roses and shall
greatly appreciate any advice you can
give me about them. I am finding
plants in this shape all over the house,
but especially in the center row. Three
rows in the middle bench look fairly
well, but the plants in the fourth row
look like those I am sending you. They
always get new foliage, which then
turns yellow and falls off. AVill you be
kind enough to tell me what the trouble
is, and the remedy? W. K.— Mo.

The writer does not state whether
the roses are planted in raised benches
or solid beds, and he fails to give some
other particulars that might aid in
■determining the cause of his troubles,
but it seems from his letter that the
Brilliants are planted in a bench con-
taining seven rows of plants, in the cen-
ter of the house and probably, under the
ventilators, where they are liable to
get considerable drip when it rains.
Besides, in watering a bench wide
■enough to hold seven rows of plants, a
good many growers water from each
side to the center, causing the center
row to receive a double dose at each
watering, and also piling up an extra
quantity of soil in the center of the
bench, around the plants. Therefore,
as the center of the bench naturally
dries out most slowly, these plants
probably are continually soaked. This
causes the plants to make soft growth,

and the leaves turn prematurely yellow
and fall off.

The best way to overcome this
trouble will be to let the bench get fair-
ly dry all over and then water entirely
across the bench from both sides. In
this way the outside rows will get most
of the water, and any loose soil will be
washed to the edges instead of being
piled up in the center of the bench.
Then the center plants will dry up as
fast as the rest. Killarney Brilliant is
not as easy d rose to grow as any of
the other Killarneys and will not stand
as much water or as heavy feeding.
Hence, where Killarney and White Kil-
larney may do well, Brilliant may suf-
fer under the same treatment.

ORIGIN OF MANETTI.

Since most of your forcing roses
probably are grafted on Manetti, it
may interest you to know that "the
Manetti stock was raised in Italy by

Signer Manetti, of the Botanic Gar-
dens, Monza, and seems to be a hybrid
from E. fraxinifolia, a variety of E.
blanda. It is propagated by cuttings,
and is stated to have been first intro-
duced into England by Mr. Elvers so
long ago as 1835. It has some advan-
tages over all other stocks in that it
pushes early and the sap will run quite
late." The American supply comes
from England and France, most grafters
preferring the British output. The
stocks usually are grown in small lots,
by persons who sell them to the ex-
porters, who keep an eye on the grad-
ing to see that the standards are main-
tained.

ROSES IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Will you kindly inform me if Shaw-
yer. Ward and Maryland roses will do
well if cut back as closely as Kil-
larney? If not, how closely should
they be cut back?

M. J. M. E.— S. 0.

You do not state whether you mean
pruning back the plants in starting
them for another year or cutting the
flowers. All the varieties mentioned
can be pruned back to sixteen to twenty
inches in resting the plants and start-
ing them for another year. If you
refer to the cutting of the flowers, they
should be cut to the first perfect leaf,
which is usually the second or third
eye from the break. When cutting
flowers, the varieties you mention will
stand closer cutting than Killarney, for
the reason that they grow more blind
wood and have more foliage to sup-
port the plants when the crop is cut.

SHRAPlsiTr

Amsterdam, Holland. — To tide over
those engaged in the bulb industry and
other branches of horticulture, which
have been severely injured by the war,
the Netherlands government is consid-
ering the establishment of a credit
bank for horticulture. While the bank
will not be on a cooperative basis, it
is understood that the industries spe-
cially concerned will exercise a con-
trol over its management.

Nice,' France. — The resumption of the
facilities of transportation by rail to
northern France and England has
made it possible for the flower growers
in this section to send cut flowers to
those markets. The sale of flowers is
one of the chief sources of the trade
in this district and it has suffered
largely by the war, as the principal ex-
portations went to Germany or through
Germany to northern capitals.

Ghent, Belgium.— Under the direction
of German authorities the postal serv-
ice has been partly restored through
this section. The plant growers have
been encouraged to return to their
daily occupations and may now receive
and dispatch mail from and to other
countries. Subject to the interruptions
occasioned by military necessity, the
transportation lines also are open to
shipments.

Lyon, France. — Georges Fernet, son
of the famous rose raiser, Jh. Pernet-
Ducher, has been killed in the Vosges
mountains. The death of his elder
brother, Claudius, was reported in
these columns some time ago.

London, England. — Business with
firms in the horticultural trades is un-
steady, but not so bad as might be ex-
pected. In a general way the best class
of buyers are laying off, as they are
the people who are carrying the finan-
cial burden of the war, but the laboring
classes are actively employed at the
best wages ever known and the horti-
cultural firms that reach this group of
buyers find possibilities there this sea-
son at least as good as ever before.

Brussels, Belgium. — The German civil
administration, which has been seek-
ing to reestablish Belgian industries,
has not looked with favor on the course
of the British government in requiring
deferred payAient through English
banks for Belgian exports. For a time
no such exports were permitted, but
it has been decided not to interfere
with exports of horticultural commodi-
ties from the Ghent district and re-
cently considerable quantities of plant
stock are reported to have been dis-
patched to Eotterdam.

ASPABAQUS HATCHEBI VS. LUTZI.

I have received Asparagus Lutzi
plants from two diflferent concerns.
Both lots are alike, and, what is more,
they are certainly identical with As-
paragus Hatcheri. I cannot see a par-
ticle of difference. I note that it has
been said of Lutzi that it is a great
bloomer, and that the blooms add
greatly to its beauty. Hatcheri as I
grow it is a free bloomer, but the flow-
ers, being small and frail, add no value
to it whatever. I grow asparagus for
the trade, and I find that Hatcheri
takes well, but not because of its
blooms. Hatcheri is a great producer,
does not require the heat that plumosus
does (this is also claimed of Lutzi),
and because of its fluffiness and denser
appearance, hides flower stems and
wires better than does plumosus. Flo-
rists like it.

I should like to hear from others
about the similarity of Hatcheri and
Lutzi. Have not the Germans put one
over on us by renaming our plant?

S. C. Templin.

ABUSE OF FUNEBAIi FLOWEBS.

May I use your valuable paper to
offer a protest as to the handling of
funeral flowers by undertakers, and, I
regret to say, by some florists, when
they are taken from house or church
after a funeral service? The usual
practice is to throw them promiscuously
into a vehicle, helter-skelter, as quickly
as possible, so that they will occupy as
small a space as possible. The feeling
seems to be that the show is over, the
florist has done his work, and the un-
dertaker is in a hurry to complete his
part.

Does the florist ever stop to consider
the feelings of the mourners who have
sent the flowers? Some of them fre-
quently see the way their offerings are
treated. Does the florist ever take a
moment to consider the effect it is likely
to have upon people who have sent, or

would send, floral tributes to the dead
when, they see costly flowers treated
like so much rubbish the moment they
have served their purpose? Is it good
business to show so little regard for the
flowers from which we florists get our
living? Do they think that a customer
who has given perhaps $50 for a design,
and sees it treated with such careless-
ness, will be likely to repeat an experi-
ence of this kind? Is he not more likely
to say to himself, "I will send a letter
of sympathy, or just a few loose flowers,
if that is the way my tribute is
treated"?

In these days, when flowers are pro-
duced in great quantities and are
placed before the public, in a large
measure, by vendors who are neither
florists by profession nor instinct, it is
necessary more than ever before for the
florists who have stores, with all the at-
tendant heavy expenses, to be particu-
larly watchful to keep up the sentiment
of veneration and the love of flowers in
the wealthy class, upon whom they have
to rely for their support.

EUONYMUS BADICANS.

Euonymus radicans is the hardiest
evergreen climber we have. There are
several forms of it, some naturally
bushy in habit and others of a climbing
nature, but all are splendid for ground
covers either in sunshine or shade. All
can be trimmed so as to make neat
hedges. They are well adapted for
covering walls, rocks or boulders. The
true radicans is a splendid climber,
clinging closely to brick, stone, con-
crete or wood. The planting of this
invaluable evergreen can be successfully
done from April until November, but
April, May, August and September are
the ideal months. The present is a suit-
able time to put in cuttings, either in
flats or directly in a coldframe. Make
short cuttings of two or three joints.
Put these in quite closely, firm well and

spray freely. Keep the frames close
for a month and then gradually give
more air. A large proportion of the
cuttings will be well rooted before cold
weather. They can be planted in nur-
sery rows in the spring, or potted, if
preferred, for long shipments. Use a
sandy soil for the cuttings.

The vg,rieties vegeta and Carrierei
are specially well adapted for covering
low walls, also for hedges and for grow-
ing as individual specimens. Euonymus
radicans is not yet sufficiently appre-
ciated. It is our finest hardy, low-
growing or climbing evergreen. Its
propagation and culture are easy and
more country florists should stock up
with it. W. N. Craig.

VINCENT'S DAHUA SHOW.

The annual fall exhibition of dahlias
and cannas of K. Vincent, Jr., & Sons
Co. was held at its farm, White
Marsh, Md., September 28 to October
2, and was the most successful show
ever held by this concern. During the
earlier part of the week the exhibition
was viewed by many thousands of
people. The rain on Friday and Sat-
urday, however, prevented the attend-
ance of many intending visitors.

The exhibition was held in the pack-
ing-shed, a building, 25x110, which had
been repainted and put in first-class
shape for the occasion. Temporary,
inclined walls running the full length
of the building were erected. On these
were displayed the panel and block
effects shown in one of the accompany-
ing illustrations. A table seven feet
across extended from end to end of the
building. On it the enormous vases of
cut blooms were shown. Several tubs,
each containing sixty td seventy-five
immense blooms on stems two to four
feet long, showed up wonderfully well.
The artistic manner in which the
funeral designs were arranged excited
favorable comment from all who saw
them.

Thousands upon thousands of blooms
of every imaginable shade of color
were displayed inside the building, but
the fields and greenhouses would have
yielded a hundred times as many. The
exhibition hall was a riot of color
which words fail to describe. Those
by whom the arrangements were de-
vised deserve unlimited praise. The
fields were a waving sea of blooms as
far as the eye could look in any direc-

Panel Arrangements in the Vincent Dahlia Show at White Marsh.

tion. Dahlias, with here and there a
block of cannas to break the monotony
of the sight, were the only things to
be seen. More than 200- varieties of
dahlias are being grown for commer-
cial use by the company, besides
numerous varieties in what is known
as the trial grounds. These beds take
up more space than a city block and
are planted with novelties in the dahlia
line, some of only two or three plants
of an especially new variety. Here all
new varieties are tried out before being
listed in the catalogues. This block
receives careful treatment, each plant
being staked and tied and all blooms
disbudded. The work is under the
direct supervision of one of the sons.

It would be impossible to enumerate
all the different varieties found in the
trial grounds, but some of those which
impressed the writer favorably are
given below. One fact which stands
out is the entire absence of any of the
quilled, show type of blooms, the trial
grounds being planted in cactus, deco-
rative and peony-flowering types. In
the general commercial collection the
quilled, show type varieties are in the
minority by about one to six.

White Delice is one of the newest
varieties. It is identical in all respects
with its parent, excepting the differ-
ence in color. Among the most strik-
ing of the newer varieties were Paul
Charmant, which may be classed as a
da»rk maroon Doazon; Geisha, semi-
double, red, tipped with yellow;
Beloit, peony-flowering, wine color; R.
L. Borden, a peculiar shade of pink,
shading to salmon and yellow; Prima
Donna, a pink, quilled, cactus variety,
and Hohenzollern, a giant red. Numer-
ous shades of yellow and salmon pink
were seen, which were also attractive,
but too numerous to mention separate-
ly. In the commercial section were
the usual standard varieties, all in full
flower.

The canna fields were a scene of
beauty and color. All the standard
varieties are grown, besides many of
the newer sorts, which are grown for
a time before distributing to the trade.
The many greenhouses are filled with
geraniums and other bedding plants.
Scarlet Wonder and Maryland, both in-
troduced by Vincent, and Beaute
Poitevine, showed up well among these
popular bedding plants.

September 29 was Florists' day. The
trade was well represented. Those who
attended felt well repaid for the trip
to view this beautiful exhibition of
the "queen flower of the fall season."

PBOTECTION FROM FBOST.

I wish to carry a number of thou-
sands of potted plants, pansies, etc.,
over winter in coldframes. I have had
some previous trouble, finding pots split
by the frost of our central New York
winters. How can this be prevented?
My plan is to cover with dry leaves
to a depth of one foot and provide the
coldframes with a slanting, water-tight
roof. Should the pots be tiuried to the
top in the earth, leaving only the
plants exposed, or should I place them
close together on the surface?

0. 8. M.— N. Y.

The pots should be plunged to their
brims in the frames, and when sharp
weather arrives, fill over them with
loose and perfectly dry leaves. If you
do not use sashes over these, you must
have tight match-board shutters. If
the leaves become wet, a lot of your
plants will rot. It is necessary to have
them perfectly dry. It will be neces-
sary to pack around the sides of the
frames with leaves or straw, unless
they are below the ground level. Pots

stood on the surface would be far more
likely to freeze and burst than such
as are plunged. If you can get pine
needles, they make a splendid cover-
ing for the plants and exclude a lot
of frost. C. W.

CAMPANULA AND DIGITALIS.

Can campanulas and digitalis be
forced successfully under glass? What
temperature should they be given? Any
information as to their culture will be
highly appreciated. L. L. — Mo.

Each -of these plants can be success-
fully forced into flower considerably
ahead of their natural outdoor bloom-
ing time. By campanula, you probably
refer to C. Medium, or Canterbury
bells. These should be lifted and pottei
now, kept outdoors for some time, then
stood in a coldframe. Forcing in a
minimum of 45 degrees can be started
in January. They should never have
a night temperature exceeding 50 de-
grees, as they will not stand hard forc-
ing. When they are well established in
their pots, they need abundant supplies
of water and occasional applications of
liquid manure. Canterbury bells need
a light, sunny and airy house. The
single varieties are far the best for
forcing, or, for that matter, any other
purpose.

Digitalis, or foxgloves, want similar
cultural conditions to campanulas.
Plants can be flowered in from 6-inch
to 10-inch, or even larger, pots. Com-
mercially I would favor 7-inch or 8-
inch pots, and use a rich compost for
both plants. C. W.

S0LANX7MS FOB CHBISTMAS.

I have some Jerusalem cherries out-
side in 4-inch pots. They are six inches
high and in bloom. Please state how
to handle them to have them in time
for Christmas. G. M. — Pa.

Your plants are somewhat small, but
should have ripe fruits before Christ-
mas. Place them on a sunny bench in
a house with a night temperature of
48 to 50 degrees. Give them plenty
of water and some liquid manure once
a week. C. W.

Pascagoula, Miss. — L. F. Kramer has
a house 40x100, with side walls six
feet high, used only for cucumbers in
the forcing season and allowed to stand
idle all summer.

EUONYMUS RADICANS.

iMionymus radicans is the hardiest
e\ergrecn climber we have. There aie
se\('i;il t'orms of it, some naturally
bushy in habit and others of a (dimbing
iKiture, but all are s])lendi(l for ground
co\ crs eithei- in sunsliine or shade. .Ml
can be trimmeil so as to make neat
hedges. They are well adapted for
co\c'iing w.alls, rotdis or bouldiMs. The
tiue i.'idicans is a sjdtMnliil climber,
clinging (lostdy to biick, stone, con-
<'r(>te III' wood. 'ITie [planting of this
in\:ilualde evergreen can be successfully
done fidin .\pril until .\ovembei-, but
Apiil, M:iy, .\ugust and September are
the ideal months. Th(> present is a suit-
able time to ])ut in oittings. either in

short cuttings of two or three joints.
I'ut these in (juite closidy, firm wcdl ami

spray freely. Keoj) the frames close
for a month and then gradually give
more air. A large proportion of the
cuttings will be well rooted before cold
weather. They can be planted in nur-
sery rows in the spring, or potted, if
preferred, for long shipments. Use a
sandy soil for the cuttings.

The varieties vegeta and Carricrei
are specially well adapted for covering
low walls, also for hedges and for grow-
ing as individual specimens. Euonymus
radicans is not yet sufliciently appre-
ciated. It is our finest hardy, low-
growing or climbing evergreen. Its
])ropagation and culture are easy and
more country florists should stock up
with it. ' W. N. Craig.

VINCENT'S DAHLIA SHOW.

The annual fall exhibition of dahlias
and cannas of K. Vincent, Jr., & Sons
< ;o. was held at its farm, White
^larsh, Md., September 28 to October
L', and was the most successful show
ever held liy this concern. Duiing the
earlier part of the week the exhibition
was viewed by many thousands of

urday, however, prevented the attend-
ance of many intending visitors.

The exhibition was held in the pack-

were displayed the panel and block

The Florists' Review

OOMBBB 7. 1915.

BOOKKEEPEBS, ATTENTION!

The system of bookkeeping that we
have used, up to the present, has proved
itself entirely unsatisfactory. It is
clumsy and slow, and mistakes are easj'
to make. We would be greatly helped
if you could give us, in an article in
The Eeview, a simple and efficient sys-
tem of bookkeeping in outline.

We do business as a company, oper-
ating extensive market gardens, and
having also flowers and vegetables un-
der glass, and a store in the city, which
handles all the usual flower stock.

The store account and the farm ac-
count are kept separate, but the same
method of keeping books is used in
both. All accounts must be balanced
and a division of the profits made
among the members each week. Not a
great deal of money is handled in a
week, so the balancing is usually done
each Saturday evening. But we are us-
ually tired and make blunders at that
time.

The salesman, or wagon-man, who
takes the produce to market each day,

turns in a slip showing the amount
taken in for each kind of produce,
amount spent for household supplies for
the family of each member of the firm,
and an itemized list of all cash spent for
supplies for the farm.

Besides this, several others of the
firm frequently take in money from
sales and spend, for the firm, small
amounts out of their own pockets.

Checks are frequently drawn for sup-
plies and expenses or various kinds,
such as lumber, glass, plants, etc. Oc-
casionally such articles are bought on
credit, also on ten, thirty and sixty
days' time.

We like to list the sales of various
articles under separate headings. For
instance, one page is devoted to toma-
toes, another to lettuce, another to
flowers from the greenhouses, etc. We
like to keep separate the accounts of
ordinary running expenses, such as re-
pairs, feed for the stable, paper for
wrapping, etc., and the accounts of
such things as we term supplies, such
as pots, boxes, glass, seeds, plants, etc.

We are all so busy we usually quit

work late and, having no definite knowl-
edge of bookkeeping, we cannot under-
take any complicated method of book-
keeping. But we must have some way
of telling how we stand each week.

We believe that other florists are just
as anxious as we are to master this too
often neglected part of the business;
hence my request for a general article
on the subject. Y. P. C. — Mo.

We regret our inability to supply off-
hand such a system of accounting as
is required. The fact is, we have been
looking for a long time for someone
who could give us a comprehensive ar-
ticle that would cover this subject. The
difficulty has been that the systems
which really give an accurate account-
ing are so complicated that they call
for employing an experienced book-
keeper.

What the average florist wants is a
system of accounting that will necessi-
tate extremely little work. Perhaps
some reader of The Eeview will have
some ideas on the subject to offer.

BUST ON CHBYSANTHEMUMS.

My Patty, Charles Razer and Chrys-
olora chrysanthemums have been at-
tacked by rust. What must I use to rid
the plants of this trouble?

N. N.— Mich.

The best preparation for killing rust
is sulphide of potassium, dissolved in
the proportion of one ounce to two gal-
lons of water. If the sulphide is prop-
erly dissolved, and the under side of the
leaves thoroughly sprayed with it, the
rust spores will be exterminated and
the rust will be prevented from spread-
ing. Chas. H. Totty.

FEBTILIZEB FOB MUMS.

Kindly advise me in what propor-
tions phosphoric acid should be used on
chrysanthemums at their present stage
of development. I note that in his
treatise on the chrysanthemum Arthur
Herrington recommends its use. My
plants are healthy looking, but the
stems are not as heavy as they should
be, and I should like to develop them.

F. C. C— La.

Ground bone or bone meal is the
best and safest source for phosphoric
acid, but its application at the present
stage of growth would be of little
benefit to your plants, as the phos-
phoric acid would only become avail-
able as plant food upon the decay and
dissolution of the bone, too late to ma-
terially aid the present crop.

Quicker action would follow the use
of acid phosphate or superphosphate,
which you should be able to procure
from a local dealer in fertilizers. Ap-

ply at the rate of one pound to fifty
square feet of ground, and water in.
Probably at their present stage of de-
velopment the best feeding you could
give the chrysanthemums would be
liquid manure from a solution of cow
or sheep manure, or a good surface
dressing of pulverized sheep manure
watered in. A. H.

BADLY INFESTED WITH THBIPS.

I enclose a few chrysanthemum
leaves. Will you be so kind as to tell
me w^hat the disease is and what to
do to get rid of it? It is extremely
destructive and discouraging.

M. E. G. M.— Pa.

The leaves submitted had no organic
disease, so far as I could see, but were
badly infested with thrips, which were
responsible for their condition. Indi-
vidually the thrips are so small that
they can hardly be seen except with a
magnifying glass, but their industry
must rival that of the fabled one-armed
man with the hives, for they ruin many
fine houses of chrysanthemums every
year, working in conjunction with the
spiders, red, black and yellow, which
are also found on the under side of the
leaves. As the chrysanthemums grow
and the spraying of each separate plant
becomes more difficult, these insects es-
tablish homes under the foliage and
multiply with incredible rapidity. Be-
fore the grower is aware of it, his
plants are in danger of being eaten
up by these pests.

The best remedy I know of is cold
water, applied on the under side of the
leaves by means of one of the sprayer
nozzles intended for the purpose.

These nozzles direct a strong spray up-
ward, washing the leaves without get-
ting the soil too wet. It is a good idea
to use this sprayer once a week,
whether any insects are visible or not,
and thoroughly wash the plants. If
this treatment is persisted in now, be-
fore the buds are swelling, and if the
plants can be absolutely clean when
cool weather comes and spraying is not
possible, it will save much lurid lan-
guage and vain regrets. '

Chas. H. Totty.

SHADE DELAYED BUDS.

We have a bed of 640 October Frost,
which were planted May 31 about
seven inches apart each way. Some of
them had two shoots to the plant; the
others were pinched out as soon as
they were well set in the beds, or in
about two weeks. The house was shaded
about June 25 with air-slaked lime.

A good coat of manure was spaded
into the bed before planting. Since
then we have applied a light dose of
bone meal June 19, a light mulch of
well rotted manure to keep the top soil
from baking, and August 10 a heavy
mulch of manure, about one inch thick.

With the exception of a few crown
buds taken about August 17, no buds
appeared until after September 1, and
they are all terminals. The plants are
six and seven feet high. We should
like to know whv the buds are so late.

W. F. H.— Md.

It is by no means unusual for Octo-
ber Frost to make a long growth with-
out throwing buds. This predilection
has been increased by shading the
house, encouraging the soft growth you

f^*v» 7'*' -*

OCTOBKB 7, 1916.

The Florists' Review

81

speak of. Why some men feel they
have to shade the mum houses, I have
never been able to determine. When
the plants are set out, instead of being
shaded, they should be kept as light
as possible and given all the ventila-
tion possible, with tops, sides and doors
open. Then the growth made will be
short-jointed and stocky, and, in most
cases, the plants will throw the buds
at the proper time.

All other conditions being equal, if
W. F. H. had grown his mums without
any shade, he would not now be la-
menting having only terminal buds.

C. H. Totty.

FUNGOID DISEASE ON MUMS.

I am sending under separate cover a
few chrysanthemum leaves. They are
attacked by a disease every year, caus-
ing death to some plants and loss of
foliage in the tops of nearly all the
plants. Is it an attack of leaf-miner
or a fungoid disease? What should I
do to be rid of the trouble?

W. E.— Ky.

The trouble is not leaf-miner, but a
fungoid disease, caused, in part, by
the hot, moist weather we have been
having and by the fact that the plants
are growing too closely, preventing
proper admission of light and air
through the rows. This fungus first
appears as brown spots on .the surface
of the leaf, and gradually spreads until
the whole leaf turns yellow. It is dif-
ferent from rust, because rust, while
it appears in brown spots, is raised
above the surface of the leaf and
emits spores like brown powder, which
can be rubbed off on the fingers.
Spores of the leaf-spot are not so con-
spicuous, although they appear in great
numbers. Leaf-spot will spread rapid-
ly through the whole house if condi-
tions are favorable for its development.
The best remedy for fungoid disease
is to pick off the affected leaves as
far as possible without injuring the
plant or destroying its appearance.
Then spray the plants on the under side
of the leaves with Bordeaux mixture,
Fungine or any other solution contain-
ing sulphur. This spraying will kill
the spores and prevent the disease
from spreading. The atmosphere of
the house sh<^d be kept as dry as
possible, and the plants tied so as to
secure light and air through the rows.
When the plant makes a natural ripen-
ing of the leaves due to the wood hard-
ening, it does no harm, for this natural
hardening occurs only where the plants
have been set out early, and conse-
quently are making a hard stem. This
is easily distinguished from leaf-spot.

HYACINTHS FOR CHEISTMAS.

For several years Dutch bulb growers
have been devoting considerable atten-
tion to the preparation of hyacinths for
early forcing, by submitting them to
treatment which will bring them into
bloom at or before Christmas. The
bulbs are lifted early, before the leaves
have died off, and are then kept for
two or three weeks in a temperature of
about 80 degrees. The treatment varies
for the different varieties; some of the
early-flowering sorts are best suited by
a rather lower temperature and do not
need quite so long a period of treat-
ment, but the late varieties, as a rule,
require a high temperature and a pro-

tracted stay in the hot room. In fact,
each variety has to be made the sub-
ject of special study, and to be treated
in exact accordance with its require-
ments. The least inaccuracy of ob-
servation might lead to failure, which
partly explains why the treatment is
not yet of general application. After
the expiration of the warm period the
bulbs are removed to a cool place, where
they remain until the end of August
or beginning of September, when the
bulbs are potted.

The exhibition of prepared bulbs
held at Haarlem, Holland, in December
was the fourth show of its kind and
proved to be a remarkable advance on
any of its predecessors. Hyacinths
were shown bearing as fine flowers as is
usual in March.

A few varieties have always been
acknowledged to be excellent for early
forcing, even without special treatment,
such as L 'Innocence and General
Pelissier. Since the special treatment
has been discovered, however, several
varieties have come to the front which
had for years been neglected. In the
light of the results of the recent show
the best white hyacinth is considered to
be Arentine Arendsen. It has a large,
round spike, with well-arranged, plump,
snow-white bells. L 'Innocence was
also in first-rate condition, and other
good whites were Hein Roozen, La
Grandesse and Christmas White.
Among shades of carmine General
Pelissier was of the deepest color,
other excellent flowers being Garibaldi,
a glowing carmine, and Mrs. Stanley,
almost the same color. Charles Dick-
ens was the best pale pink. Lady Derby
was a good bright pink, Victor Em-
manuel a deep rose, Nimrod soft rose,
and Maria Cornelia rosy-white. Of the
early blues Bismarck was the best, the
color being clear and the spike large
and well shaped. Grand Lilas, Schotel,
and Captain Boyton were all fine porce-
lain blue varieties. It is thought that
in the course of time growers will be
able tc offer bulbs prepared for early

flowering with some assurance of suc-
cess.

SNYDER'S SEEDLING PEPPER.

A variety of ornamental pepper that
is a decided advance on the celestial
pepper in size and quantity of fruit
or berries is announced by Wm. F.
Snyder, of Hopkinsville, Ky. It is a
seedling of the celestial pepper. For
the benefit of Eeview readers, Mr.
Snyder has sent a photograph of the
original plant and several smaller ones,
which is reproduced herewith. In re-
gard to them Mr. Snyder says:

"The large plant in the center is the
original, a seedling of the celestial pep-
per, and out-fruits it two to one. The
plant is almost covered with the bright
red fruit. The large plant, which is
just eighteen inches high, has 182 ripe
berries, many green berries of various
sizes and a number of blossoms. The
smaller sizes, in 4-incb pots, have ripe
berries in proportion. The fruit stands
out above the foliage, as may be seen
in the illustration. Above the large
plant is a branch of the celestial pep-
per, which affords a comparison of the
size of the fruits." Mr. Snyder plans
to disseminate his new pepper in the
spring of 1916.

In the center of the foreground is
a promising seedling geranium raised
by Mr. Snyder. It is of the zonale
type, and is described by him as quite
dwarf and a profuse bloomer. The
petals are almost white, with a de-
cided ring of scarlet around a scarlet
eye. It is well adapted for bordering
beds of taller varieties, particularly
Michel or other scarlets. According to
Mr. Snyder, the old plant, in an 8-inch
pot, at one time this summer bore
twenty-seven umbels of open flowers,
which almost covered the plant.
Plants in 2^-inch pots frequently have
three and four umbels. Not any of
the leading varieties grown by Mr.
Snyder compare with it in blooming
qualities, ho says.

LICENSE FOE FLOWER VENDERS.

A test case, relative to Street and
doorway flower peddlers operatiiig with-
out a state license, was blrought into
court August 10 at Lynn, Mass. An
itinerant vender of flowers, Harry Fein-
zig, of Boston, was arrested by the
board of control, which was desirous of
securing a ruling on this matter. H.
Feinzig was prosecuted and found
guilty of violating the laws regulating
itinerant venders. He was not fined,
but his conviction is intended to stand
as a warning to others who set up tem-
porary flower stands for the sale of
flowers.

Since early spring many persons have
set up street and doorway stands and
sold flowers. The florists of Lynn con-
tended that this business was of a tem-
porary and transient nature, and re-
quired a state license. They carried
their complaints to the board of con-
trol, and secured the ruling in this test
case, which, it is expected, will free
the trade from competition of this kind.

INJURY TO STOCK BY FUMES.

The Louisiana Supreme court has
recognized the right of a florist or nurs-
eryman to recover damages for injury
to growing stock caused by fumes
emitted from nearby factories. In the
case in which the decision was handed
down, the court affirmed a judgment in
favor of a florist for the destruction
of his plants by fumes which the wind
had blown from the defendant's fer-
tilizer factory. It was found that the
florist sustained his right to recover
damages by showing that at the time
his plants were destroyed, the defend-
ant's factory was freely emitting
fumes, gases and acids, which were
capable of destroying plant life, and
that the wind was blowing the fumes
toward his premises, some 900 feet
away, and that there was no other
known agency of destruction existing
in the neighborhood. S.

PLANTS FOR CARPET BEDDING.

I expect to plant some fancy-lettered
beds next season and I am taking the
liberty of asking you for a few hints
on the subject. What plants are the
best to uset Do you think alternan-
theras are good for the purpose? Also,
what varieties bring out the most pleas-
ing contrasts? J. H. M.---Can.

In the way of foliage plants I would
recommend Alternanthera aurea nana,
golden yellow; A. brilliantissima, red
and yellow; A. Jewel, red shading to
crimson, yellow markings; A. parony-
chioides, dwarf habit, crimson and red,
shaded green; alyssum, dwarf white;
Alyssum Little Gem, pure white; Eche-
veria secunda glauca, fine for edgings
or letterings; Lobelia Emperor William,
dark blue; Santolina chamsecyparissus,
silvery gray foliage. With alternan-
thera this will need some pinching or
clipping through the growing season.

In the way of plants which flower

persistently, any of the dwarf fibrous-
rooted begonias of the Erfordii type
are good, as is B. Gloire de Chatelaine.
Pink and scarlet are the most decided
colors in these begonias. For a blue
flower one of the dwarf ageratums, like
Stella Gurney, would do well in your
latitude. C. W.

CUTTING BACK SNAPDRAGONS.

When is the proper time to cut back
snapdragons so as to have them in
bloom around the holidays? They are
budding now, but not heavily.

P. H. S.— 111.

This is a difficult question to answer.
If the plants were propagated from
cuttings and have been topped but
once, I would advise breaking back all
forward shoots. If they are seedling
plants, I would let them come. Where
blooms are desired in December, it is
best to time your plants. Take cut-
tings in May or sow seed in June.

G. S. Kamsburg.

REPOTTING POINSETTIAS.

I have a number of poinsettia plants,
about two feet in height, with two or
three branches. They are thrifty
plants in 4-inch pots. I should like to
know whether the plants should be re-

potted into 6-inch pots. If I take cut-
tings now, will the plants put out new
growth so as to be in bloom for Christ-
mas, or will they be too late in bloom-
ing? A. H. — Va.

It is now too late to put in cuttings
of poinsettias. The plants from which
you took the tops would make feeble
breaks 'and the bracts would be small.
Shift your plants irom 4-inch to 6-inch
pots. Do not let them get too much
potbound before doing so. Use a soil
consisting of three parts of good
fibrous loam, well decayed, aiid one
part well rotted manure. Cow manure
is the best. Give your plants a night
temperature not lower than 60 degrees
after the bracts show; then they will
be well expanded for Christmas.

C. W.

WHEN TO PLANT CLEMATIS.

Will you please tell me when to plant
clematis, and also if I should take cut-
tings or plant seeds? I took cuttings in
the spring and did not succeed in get-
ting them rooted. I shall appreciate
any information. J. F. R. — 111.

Spring is the best time to plant clem-
atis. I presume you refer to C.
paniculata, although there are a number
of other hardy varieties in cultivation.
This clematis seeds abundantly and is
propagated from seed. Sow the seeds
when ripe and carry them over in a
coldframe or greenhouse. Usually they
will not germinate until the following
summer. If grown in nursery rows for
a couple of years, the plants are quite
strong. I have never had any success
in planting clematis in the fall.

C. W.

From Real Life.

Female Patron: One of my goldfish
disappeared from the bowl last night.
What could have happened to it?

Wise Florist: Did you look on the
floor near the bowl?

F. P. (on the telephone an hour
later): Oh, I just called up to tell you
I found the poor little fish in the car-
pet sweeter. K. & G.

Customers' Logic.

A young man entered a flower store,
seemingly regardless of a sign, "Fresh
Paint," that hung on the woodwork.
Discovering his trousers besmeared a
fresh green, he indignantly began to
"bawl out" the florist.

"It's your own fault," exclaimed
the florist. "Didn't you see that sign,
'Fresh Paint'?"

"Of course I did," was the peevish
reply, "but I didn't believe it."

"Why shouldn't you believe it?"
demanded the florist.

"I thought it was like the sign,
'Fresh Flowers,' on those roses I
bought the last time I was in here."
Sprinkleproof Sam.

An Awk'id Moment.

She: "Oh, do be keerfuU You trod
right on me corns."

He: "Sorry. Why do you grow such
things?"

She: "I grows 'em for a 'obby, same
as some grows orchids and such things. ' '

O. W. E.

Why Florists Enlist.

A woman carrying a large market
basket and a pair of shears came to
the greenhouse one day and said: "My
brother-in-law is dead, and I want to
get some flowers."

"What do you desire?" said I. "A
bouquet or a piece?"

"Oh, just loose flowers, I expect to
make my own piece, a Masonic design.
I will sew the flowers on pastboard. "

"All right, I can let you have some
loose flowers."

"I brought my basket and shears
along, and I will just help myself. You
have lots of flowers."

"We always do our own cutting.
About what amount do you want?"

"A quarter's worth, anyway. And
please charge it."

Copies of the final premium list have
been mailed to all members of the
Chrysanthemum Society of America,
American Rose Society and American
Carnation Society, together with several
hundred names not included in the
membership of these organizations.

The advertising committee, repre-
sented by George Bate, reported that
2,000 pennants to use on automobiles
and 2,500 window cards will be ready
for distribution about October 11. His
committee also will have 100,000 poster
stamps. These will be used on every
flower box and delivery made by the
100 members of the Cleveland Florists'
Club during the next thirty days.

M. A. Vinson, secretary of the gen-
eral committee, has returned from New
York. As a result of his trip, twelve
new firms are included in the list of
exhibitors. He called on John Can-
ning, at Ardsley, N. Y., and arranged
for shipment of his large chrysanthe-
mum plants to Cleveland.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

The J. R. Bather Co., of Clinton, la.,
has been enjoying good business. The
sale of bulbs has started promisingly.

Andrew Bather, of Clinton, pointed
to two large posters in his window, fac-
similes of telegrams sent to Washing-
ton and St. Louis, and said his associa-
tion with the F. T. D. was a most prof-
itable one. He says business was never
better.

The Alpha Floral Co., of Des Moines,
la., is busy with decorations and fu-
neral pieces.

Advertising has brought gratifying
returns to the Wilson Floral Co., of
Des Moines. That it pays to advertise
is now an established fact with this
concern — providing the right goods
back the advertising.

The Iowa Seed Co., of Des Moines,
has an original and striking display
window representing the arrival of a
trainload of bulbs. The bulbs used are
the real thing.

iLouis Henderson, of Omaha, Neb.,
says things are running smoothly at
his store in the new Hotel Fontenelle.
The handsome shop is the pride of Mrs.
Henderson, who takes charge while Mr.
Henderson attends to the decorative
and outside work.

Hess & Swoboda, of Omaha, are cut-
ting early chrysanthemums, of which
they are making distinctive displays.
Their store will be one of the sights
during Carnival week.

Samuel Stewart, of Omaha, is send-
ing such dahlias, delphiniums and the
like to Stewart's Seed Store that one
seems to be "way down east."

C. H. Frey, Lincoln, Neb., as usual,
is right up to the minute ' with well
grown stock, in anticipation of a ban-
ner season foi practically all lines.

Roy Wilcox, of J. F. Wilcox & Sons,
Council Bluffs, la., was on an extended
visit to Canada. H. W. Voss, the store
manager, reports excellent business
prospects and plenty of stock.

Frank Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral
Co., St. Joseph, Mo., went gunning for
redheads without success, but he se-
cured another kind of redbird. In other
words, he stopped off at Lincoln, Neb.,
and saw the great scarlet Carnation
Nebraska, at the C. H. Frey store.
That Mr. Stuppy thought favorably of
the Nebraska is shown by the fact that
he secured all the plants he could find
room for. The windows of the Stuppy
store contain cattleyas of rich shades.
Beauties of surprisingly clean foliage
and clear color reflect the extra care
taken in growing them this season.
Monrovia is a good mum and sells well.
M.

STEVLAS IN THE FIELD.

I have stevia plants in the field with
seventy-five to 100 shoots on them, and
they are from three to four feet high.
Can I cut them back without hurting
themt Please let me know what to do.

J. E. M.— Mo.

OBITUARY

It is now rather late to cut back ste-
vias. The last pinch should not be
given later than August 1. Lift them
carefully, tie the plant around with
twine and try to get some earth with
the roots. Shade for a few days and
spray freely. Later place in a cool
greenhouse. C. W.

Aiirora, HI. — The Aurora Greenhouse
Co. is building two greenhouses, 28x150,
to house the large cyclamen stocks.
F. C. Shaefer is manager of the con-
cern.

Waterloo, la. — In the recent indus-
trial parade on Homecoming day three
florists were represented by decorated
automobiles. That of Charles Sherwood
was elaborately trimmed with red and
yellow dahlias, with plants and greens,
and won first prize. The Kemble
Greenhouses featured Boston ferns on
their float and made a distinct impres-
sion. The car of Gall way Bros, also
was tastefully decorated.

Matthew Macnair. '

Matthew Macnair, one of the oldest
and best known retail florists in Provi-
dence, R. I.,' and the proprietor and
founder of the business conducted at
322 Weybosset street, under the name
of the Sunshine Shop, died suddenly
September 29, in front of the Benef-
icent Congregational church, only a
short distance from his store. He was
in his seventy-first year.

Mr. Macnair had just left his store
and was walking down the street with
his son, Charles Macnair, who has been
associated with him in business for sev-
eral years, when he suddenly became ill
and would have dropped to the pave-
ment but for the sustaining arm of his
son, who caught him as he was falling.
He died almost instantly.

Mr. Macnair was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1845, and in his younger
days became especially proficient in
mill work and textiles. He arrived in
New York in 1870, where he was em-
ployed for several years in the whole-
sale woolen trade. Removing to Provi-
dence, he engaged in the manufactur-
ing jewelry business until about twenty-
five years ago, when he opened a re-
tail flower store on Westminster street,
but he removed about three years later
to 322 Weybosset street, where he built
up a large trade as the Sunshine Shop.
About five years ago he opened a sec-
ond store at 2 Broad street, corner of
Chestnut street, within a block of his
other place.

He was of a cheerful disposition and
made many friends, both inside and
outside the trade. He was a member
of several business organizations, in-
cluding the Florists' and Gardeners'
Club of Rhode Island, besides being
prominently identified with the Benef-
icent Congregational church. Musical-
ly inclined all his days, he knew many
Scotch songs and always spoke hap-
pily of his associations with Beecher's
choir in Brooklyn. He traveled exten-
sively in Europe and returned only a
few months ago from an extended stay
in the old country. He is survived by
his wife and two sons, Charles and
Thomas Macnair, and five brothers and
two sisters. The business will be con-
tinued. W. H. M.

Clinton, Ind. — Herman G. Hershey
has finished rebuilding his two green-
houses. All outside walls were made
of concrete, and the size of each house
enlarged to 18x105 feet. The boiler
shed also has been rebuilt.

Eureka, Ean. — L. Vanhaverbeke, pro-
prietor of the Eureka Greenhouses, de-
serves to be classed among the veterans.
He has been in ' the business thirty-
eight years. His training was ob-
tained in PVance, Germany and Holland.

Detroit, Mich. — Fred Breitmeyer, of
Mt. Clemens, exhibited at the salesroom
of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange
this week several blooms of a new pink
rose which is a sport of the popular va-
riety, Ophelia. The color is a beauti-
ful shell pink. Mr. Breitmeyer has
worked up a nice stock of the variety
and is figuring on sending the variety
out to the trade another season.

Traveling salesmen returning from the
•west report excellent business, the recent
improvement being especially marked on
the Pacific coast.

In spite of the fact that the petty
swindle has been reported dozens of
times, florists still hand strangers cash
change for bad checks.

That old-time favorite, Livistona ro-
tundifolia, the fan palm, is coming back
into popularity. Perhaps, then, some
day there will be call again for Latania
Borbonica.

The Christmas supply of ruscus will
cost more than last year, both the
bleached stock and the dye coming higher,
but at the same time the quality averages
better than before.

The woods are full of men with little
hammers who use them constantly. Most
of us, however, prefer the- man who
carries a big stick but who uses it only
on rare occasions.

The first 1916 calendar to reach The
Review probably will hold the season's
record for size and beauty. It came, Octo-
ber 6, from A. W. "Warren, Corry, Pa.
The subject is Traver's "The Rose
Girl," done in colors.

The old-time practice of enclosing a
stamp when one asks a question by mail
seems to have fallen into what Grover
Cleveland called innocuous desuetude — at
least most of those who ask The Re-
view for "an immediate reply by mail"
are in too big a hurry to remember the
stamp.

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:

mand. The improvement is general in
all departments of the trade, and there
is every prospect of a banner season. .

WHAT THEY DO.

Regularly, week after week, The Re-

ciew contains between 1,600 and 1,700

separate advertisements. Some of them

merely are cards calculated to keep the

advertiser's full name and address

where the trade can find them, but the

majority are written with the idea of

pulling direct mail orders. And that

they do it is shown by the receipt of

many such letters as the following

three, which were all in one mail:

Please discontinue my ad, as everything is sold.
It certainly pays to advertise in The Review. —
James Clelland, Grove City, Pa., October 2, 1915.

We shall have to ask you to omit our pelar-
gonium advertisement until we catch up with the
orders.— Hartford City Floral Co., Hartford City,
Ind., October 4, 1915.

Please discontinue our advertisement of carna-
tions for the season. We have had large orders
resulting from this advertisement and are well
satisfied with the returns. — Gullett & Sons, Lin-
coln, 111., October 4, 1915.

It would pay specially well, if you
have the stock, to list items in the
Classified Department that are not
already listed there.

SEASON STABTINa FINELY.

We all should take much pleasure in
the way the autumn season has opened
during the last fortnight. In pleasing
contrast to a year ago, everything now
seems bright and promising. The latter
part of September brought a marked
increase in business in many sections,
and the first few days of October have
seen a trade revival little short of mar-
velous.

Conditions a year ago were sadly dis-
turbed; everyone was in a pessimistic
frame of mind, and this included the
trade itself as well as those who buy
plants and flowers. Today quite an op-
posite condition is apparent. Business
is decidedly improved in nearly all lines
of activity, and florists of all degrees,
and almost everywhere, are doing far
better than a year ago; indeed, there
are many who find business today even
better than it was two years ago, which
means that it is the best in the history
of the trade.

In the grain states business has been
good right along; there is no change
today. The manufacturing centers be-
gan to feel a trade revival some months
ago and the autumn finds business pick-
ing up in the sections hardest hit by
the depression coincident with the war.
Florists in the manufacturing cities of
the east are doing well. In the cotton
states confidence has returned and the
people are buying flowers. On the
Pacific coast florists are doing well,
much better than at any time in the
last year, and the production of stock
there still is considerably below the de-

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The latter part of last week business
was unusually good, with a short, stiflE
market and demand strong. The open-
ing of this week was not so auspicious,
but with the same conditions as to sup-
ply and a sharpening of the* weather,
which continued bright, demand quickly
recovered. Quality, quite naturally, is
wonderfully improved. The fact that
the St. Louis market was too short to
supply the wants attendant on the
Veiled Prophet celebration resulted in
some excellent orders being placed on
the Chicago market.

Beauties are decidedly scarce and are
clearing accordingly, regardless of
quality or length of stem. Other roses
are equally scarce, especially the pink
varieties, and are generally moved as
soon as they are graded. While buyers
find it necessary to be on the market
early to fill their wants to their liking,
they have the advantage of selecting
from stock of the first quality.

Although receipts of carnations are
much heavier, the supply is short of
the demand and wholesalers experience
no difficulty in moving them at a good
price. Asters have receded so far into
the background that they no longer
strike the eye. Dahlias and gladioli
have ceased to be a feature of the mar-
ket. Gardenias are in somewhat bet-
ter supply and enjoy a better call than
usual. Easter lilies are in strong de-
maud and remarkably short supply,
most of the growers laying off until
after the deluge of chrysanthemums,
which proverbially makes a bad mar-
ket for lilies, only this time there is a
hiatus instead of the usual overlap-
ping of crops. Rubrums sell well. Val-
ley is again short of the demand. The
growers are realizing that to keep val-
ley in good demand, they must not
plant too many pips. Orchids are suf-
ficient for the demand.

MeotioD The RfTtew when yon write.

The chrysanthemum situation re-
mains uncertain. The first batches of
early mums continue to dribble into
the market, while the second batches
have not yet made their appearance.
True enough, there are a few Chryso-
lora, and a dozen or so of Pacific Su-
preme, but the bulk of the receipts is
Golden Glow, Smith's Advance and Oc-
tober Frost. While there is some ex-
cellent stock to be had, quantities of
inferior mums find their way to the
market, and tnis fact does not improve
the demand. Single violets are avail-
able, but doubles are later than usual
in putting in an appearance.

Greens continue to move in a most
satisfactory manner.

September Business.

September can be set down as a good
month; not better, perhaps, than the
Septembers of early days, although
then the volume was much smaller, but
distinctly better than a year ago. The
latter part of the month, after the heat
wave that set the summer's high record
September 14, was especially good. The
market was well supplied with stock,
on the whole, and for the movement at
better prices than a year ago or at any
time in recent months the strength of
the out-of-town demand must have
credit. The country trade seems to
wake up earlier than the city trade.
Taking it by and large, growers and
wholesalers are well pleased with Sep-
tember and will ask nothing better
than a corresponding business improve-
ment in the months to come.

The Big Fall Show.

Robert R. Brenton, of Kennicott
Bros. Co., has been appointed by the
executive committee to the oflSce of di-
rector of press publicity for the Chi-
cago Grand Floral Festival, to be held
in the Coliseum from November 9 to
14. The publicity committee states:

"At the regular meeting of the Chi-
cago Grand Floral Festival executive
committee, held at the Morrison hotel
September 30, much progress was made
with flower show business, those in at-
tendance being A. Henderson, W. N.

MUM IS THE WORD.

In fact, the last word, the Flower
of the hour.

"October and November are the
Chrysanthemum months, you know
that," said the old man as he stood
by the door to his private office sur-
veying the store. The buyer and
store manager stood at his elbow, all
attention, awaiting his words of wis-
dom.

"Yes, sir," he went on, turning to
the buyer, "you know the Mum sea-
son is on, but have you looked over
the Chicago Market to see where you
can best get the kind of stock you
want, at all times! It does not pay
to buy from one House one week and
another the next."

"Why, any good House handles
Chrysanthemums," said the buyer
with a smile.

"Certainly, my boy, but consider a
moment. No matter what grade of
stock you buy, you can't sell Mums
really at a cheap price. You must
get at least a doUar a dozen, to make
it pay, even if you sell short stemmed
seconds. Do you get the point! ' ' turn-
ing to the store manager. ' * How is
the average person, who asks for or
will take Mums, dressed!"

"Well, I should say, usually very

well, richly and in style," replied the
Manager.

"That's just it, and a lot of them
roll up in their limousines, too. A
Chrysanthemum is not, can not be a
poor man 's flower. * ' He turned to the
buyer. "So you must be certain that
you always get stock that is of the
best quality.

"There are, no doubt, many places
where sometimes you can get a fine
grade of stock, most times a good

frade of stock, but there is one House
rom which you may be certain that
■ you will always get the kind of stock
that will please the purchaser who
wants, and is willing to pay for, the
best — and that House is Kennicott
Bros. Company, The House of Qual-
ity Plus, 163 No. Wabash Ave., Chi-
cago, 111.

' ' That House handles more MUMS,
and to my mind, better Mums, than
any other House on the Chicago Mar-
ket."

The old man stood with his hand
on the door knob and waited for the
force of his remarks to reach home,
then he faced the two and said in a
now that's settled tone of voice,
' ' Safety first, boys. As Mums are for
the best trade, always get Kenni-
cott's Quality Cuts, then you can be
certain that there is not another store
in town that has finer stock."

September Weather.

From a weather point of view, as it
affects trade interests, September was
eventful only in the fact that it was
the first month since April with a tem-
perature above the seasonal normal, and
the only one during the entire year in
which a maximum temperature of 90
degrees was reached. The average
temperature actually exceeded that of
the previous month of August. The
rainfall was fairly well distributed
and more abundant than usual. The
percentage of sunshine was fifty-five,
as compared with the normal sixty-
four per cent.

Various Notes.

The Masonic Temple again has a
flower store, opened October 2, as the
Eed Bud Flower & Sweet Shop. The
announcement, in the form of a tasteful
booklet telling the language of flow-
ers, was quite attractive with a red
rose bud, symbolic of the name, em-
bossed on the cover. The proprietors
are W. A. Walters, formerly manager
of the Mitchell Street Floral Co., of
Milwaukee, and C. H. Lampo, who con-
ducts the confectionery end of the
venture.

Business conditions are much better
than a year ago, in the opinion of A. T.
Pyfer, who says city trade has shown
much improvement in the last few
days.

That his azaleas are on the way from
Belgium, via Holland, is the word re-
ceived by Peter Pearson, who reports
business good in all lines this fall.

One of the most interesting of local
establishments is the water lily garden
of George Schwing, at Fifty-seventh
and Rockwell streets. Not only is the
collection one of the largest and finest
in the country, but Mr. Schwing is
credited with a more thorough knowl-
edge of the subject than anyone in this
section of the country. His flowers are
in such request that the retailers who
want them go to his place for them.
They have been a feature of the win-
dow displays of Lange and Mangel this
summer.

September was not only better than
a year ago, according to Felix Eeich-
ling, manager of Peter Reinberg's
wholesale store, but was better than
September in 1913, or 1912, and Octo-
ber starts at an even better pace.

After a trip of six weeks on the Pa-
cific coast, Robert Newcomb, of the
W. W. Barnard Co., is in town for a
few days. He reports booking a fine
line of business.

According to Erne & Klingel, the
first violets of the season came from
Park Ridge September 8, but it was not
until this week that shipments assumed
any size. Thus far no double violets
have arrived from the east.

"When seen at Kyle & Foerster's,
October 4, Frank Schramm said he was
indulging in a day's vacation now that
his two big Foley houses at Crystal
Lake are all planted up for the season.
He Las built two iron frame houses,
each 40x225, and planted them with
carnations, chrysanthemums and sweet
peas. He expecta to begin shipments
about November 1.

Adam Zender, who is a director of
the Holton & Hunkel Co., was in Mil-
waukee last week on one of his peri-
odical trips.

The dyeing department of the A. L.
Randall Co., occupying the third floor
at 72 and 74 East Randolph street, is
working night and day on ruscus and
rafSa. The latter is a specialty, little
handled by florists, of which the con-
cern sells great quantities, principally
to school supply stores.

As a result of the announcement
made in The Review by the J. D.
Thompson Carnation Co., a number of
parties made up of growers of Chi-
cago and vicinity have made trips to
Joliet for the purpose of seeing the new

scarlet carnation. Aviator. One of
these parties consisted of Allie Zech,
of Zech & Mann, and Walter Amling
and Martin Amling, both of Maywood.
Speaking of Aviator, Allie Zech says
it is undoubtedly one of the best car-
nations ever put out. There are varie-
ties with larger flowers, but nothing
that he has seen can compare with it
in prolificness.

The latter part of last week, John
Kruchten, of the John Kruchten Co.,
was in and about Milwaukee on busi-
ness. According to C. L. Sherer, ship-
ping business is unusually good.

E. C. Amling does not come to the
store on Sundays, so that this year he
will miss the annual felicitations that
are extended October 10, when his desk
usually is decorated and his friends
wish him many happy returns of the
day. He will be 47.

The wife of H. C. Mulder, proprietor
of the University Florist, 1121 East
Fifty-fifth street, is quite ill. As near
as can be ascertained, she is suflfering
from a complication of nervous dis-
orders.

Although moving and entertaining do
not usually go together, C. L. Wash-
burn, of Bassett & Washburn, seems
to be making a success of both. Dur-
ing the last week he has been busy
moving the wholesale house from 133

Visitora.

The two new roses of Weiland &
Risch, Champ Weiland and Feamma,
received a visit in their Evanston home
from Robert C. Smallwood, of A. N.
Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., October
4. On his return to the city salesroom
some samples of the Feamma were dis-
cussed. This is a true pink in color,
and has a fragrance closely resembling
that of the old La France. It is a
free bloomer and several who have
seen it think it is destined to take the
place of Killarney as en all-around
rose.

Among the week's visitors was
Marion W. Uhlschmidt, with Grimm &
Qorly, East St. Louis, w"ho arrived
October 4 and remained in the city
two days. Mr. Uhlschmidt was here
on a buying trip, as the St. Louis mar-
ket was cleaned out by the Veiled
Prophet celebration. He said many
complimentary things of the Chicago
market, both as to its size and the
quality of its service.

One of last week 's callers at The
Review oflice was Harry A. Barnard,
representing Stuart Low & Co., Bush
Hill Park, Enfield, England, who is on
his annual three months' trip to call
on American buyers of orchids, roses,
palms, cyclamens, Manetti stocks, etc.
He says he has found business just fair
this trip, buyers still taking hold cau-
tiously.

Mrs. Charles D. Bradley, of the

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

The cut flower market is in a sensi-
tive condition and showed discourag-
ingly the effects of a three days' rain
last week. Fortunately for the trade,
however, shipments were lighter and
most of the arrivals were disposed of
at satisfactory prices.

Chrysanthemums have arrived earlier
than usual and, already in good va-
riety, they are seen in the stores and
windows of every wholesaler. There
are plenty of Golden Glow, Smith 's Ad-
vance, Dinda's new pink seedling and
some choice Polly Rose, Monrovia and
Chrysolora. A dozen more varieties
will doubtless be added to this list
before the end of the week. The in-
dications are for the largest receipts
of mums ever known in the New York
market. A few sold last week as high
as $3 per dozen. These were Chryso-
lora. Some excellent stock of other

varieties was offered at from $2 down
to 50 cents.

The dahlia market, after the dahlia
show ended, absorbed readily every
flower of size, novelty and quality that
arrived. Some extra fine stock sold as
high as $3 per hundred. Callas are
here again, and also plenty of tritomas,
daisies and large, splendidly colored
heads of Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora. Valley sold up to $3 and $4 last
week and down to $1, for the low
grades. Shipments are increasing.
Lilium longiflorum touched 8 cents oc-
casionally; 6 cents was the steady ask-
ing price for the selected flowers. The
supply is lighter.

Gardenias are here again and im-
proving daily, the price for the best
being $1.50 per dozen. Single violets,
Herrick, arrived last week and the first
sales, were at 30 cents per hundred.
They are small and, as yet, unattrac-
tive. The long dry spell and excessive
heat have delayed the doubles badly.

Orchids continue heavily in excess of
demand and quotations reflect the large
daily receipts. It was seldom last week
that more than 25 cents was asked for
the choicest flowers. I saw quantities
sold as low as $10 per hundred. There
are thousands of flowers in the green-
houses of the orchid growers, ready
for market.

Carnations are improving in size and
quality. A few flowers have moved up
into the $2 and $3 classes. But the
majority, so far, sell at from 50 cents
to $1.50 per hundred. This week will
doubtless see the last of asters and
gladioli. The new roses continue to
improve in bud, in stem and in color,
and prices are slowly advancing.
Short-stemmed roses may still be had
in thousand lots as low as 75 cents,
and some at 50 cents per hundred. The
specialties'and novelties are constantly
advancing in public appreciation, as
the windows of the leading retailers
indicate. Mock is especially good, and
Shawyer and American Beauties are
bringing better prices for the selected
flowers — -as high at times as $20 per
hundred. This week opened clear and
cooler. Better business from -now on
seems to be anticipated by all,

October 6, — The market had a sur-
prise at the opening of the present

Why You Should Boost the
National Florist Movement

PVERYTHING that helps the

helps you.

Any organized movement, like the
National Floral Corporation, that
will spend' its money in educating
people to think of flowers when they
think of presents, is going to help
you. So whether you have a florist
shop, or are a grower, it is to your
interest to boost the National Florist
movement.

It is up to you to find out all about

Good mums brought from $1 to $2 per

"Halfway House" are encouragingly
optimistic.

The market is gradually becoming
the reverse of what it was several
weeks ago. Instead of being compelled
to throw everything into the waste bar-

The Market.

Eobert Crawford, Jr., is fond of say-
ing that when chrysanthemums come,
everything sells. This is certainly the
case this season. Chrysanthemums have
arrived in variety and in much larger
quantities than usual so early in the
season. They are selling and every-
thing else is in demand. Better still,
the market compares favorably with
thd first week of October of a year ago
and, better still, expert judges are pre-
dicting a good season. This is what
my critics are fond of calling one of
those dreadfully optimistic reports, but
I think they will admit it is fair.

The dahlia is the ruling flower of the
day. Such fancy varieties as Bertha
v^on Suttner and Crystal are selling at
fancy prices in hundred lots; also
Geisha Girl, in smaller quantities. The
average price on good, ordinary dahlias
is better than a week ago and they are
marketed in goodly numbers. Tint of
Gold, October Frost, Pacific Supreme,
Glory of Pacific and Unaka have been
added to the list of chrysanthemums,
although Golden Glow is still the leader
in the yellows and white Smith's Ad-
vance is second. Orchids continue plen-
tiful. The debutante teas and other
entertainments create an outlet for
many of the chrysanthemums, though

at low figures. Beauties, Russells and
all the fancy and standard roses are in
demand when well grown; white is in
demand in any condition. The supply
is not large, but the quality is improv-
ing. Bouvardias, pansies, daisies and
single violets are here in moderate
numbers. Carnations improve slowly.
Easter lilies are selling exceptionally
well. Valley is in favor. Well colored
oak foliage has succeeded gum. Cosmos
is plentiful; sweet peas are scarce.

Current Events.

An exceedingly neatly prepared no-
tice of the Florists' Club meeting, held
in Horticultural hall, on the evening of

October 5, marked the opening of the
new year, the thirtieth in the club's
history. A facsimile of the blue and
white club button graced the top of
the sheet. Then followed the list of
officers, the announcement of th^
speaker of the evening, the election of
officers and some other matters of club
interest. The notice closed with the
plans of the entertainment committee
and a well worded appeal on behalf of
the treasurer. So potent a magnet
drew a large attendance to greet the
gifted L. K. Peacock, of Berlin, N. J.,
who spoke on dahlias, especially those
varieties valuable for cut flowers.
There was a magnificent exhibit of

dahlias from the Peacock Dahlia
Farms, including two choice baskets of
these charming fall flowers arranged
by Pennock Bros. The election of offi-
cers resulted as follows: President,
George Burton; vice-president, John C.
Gracey; secretary, David Bust; treas-
urer, George Craig. After the business
meeting, the members were entertained
by the officers of the club.

A goodly crop of retail flower stores
has sprung up in the city with the
opening of the fall season. The Colo-
nial Flower Shop is the name given by
Albert Saxer to his new venture at
Frankford, which is starting auspi-
ciously. Jacob Wilhelm, the well known
grower of Logan, has opened a retail
store at 4903 North Broad street.
Frank Philips, who has had experi-
ence in England, is trying his luck
at 428 South Fifty-second street, .West
Philadelphia, while Tissell the Flo-
rist is the name on the new retail
shop at 1722 North Broad street. Add
to these the Charles H. Grakelow place
at Broad and Cumberland streets and
you have a goodly array.

Leo Niessen calls attention to the
large number of small roses available
for the debutante teas this fall — a num-
ber larger than at any time in the past.

Sweetheart we have had for several
seasons; then there is George Elger and
Old Gold, all in the polyantha class.
Irish Fireflame and Afterglow give rich
colors in the singles. All these vari-
eties appeal to those of refined tastes,
but they do not quite satisfy anyone
who is bent on getting the largest flow-
ers possible.

In the Plant Houses.

"When you have time, will you not
come down to Norwood? It will only
take you twenty minutes," This invi-
tation from Eobert Craig was an honor
for which time must be taken, so the
12:37 was boarded for Norwood one
afternoon last week. It took just
twenty minutes, with a couple added
to reach the greenhouses. There a
bright-looking young man introduced
himself simply: "I am Van. Mr. Craig
has gone away with Mr. O'Mara and
Mr. Henderson." This was Cornelius
Van der Bregg, in charge of the Eobert
Craig Co. place at Norwood. A mo-
ment later, Antoine Leuthy, of Boston,
appeared. So we three toured the
houses happily.

The crotons are the glory of Norwood.
This fall their color is wondrously bril-
liant. \arietie8 like Robert Craig and

Norwood Beauty are pictures of highly
colored foliage that one remembers.
Reidii, that troublesome variety, is in
fine shape. You know, when a New
York retailer wants to find the caliber
of a croton grower he asks for Reidii,
Anyone who is not in Class A, Section
1, tries to avoid the issue on Reidii; it
is an unusually diflBcult croton to grow.
Here it is, however, in good shape and,
with it, many more, both standards and
seedlings. There is everything in cro-
tons, from the little peach suitable for
baskets to the immense specimen made
up in tubs, suitable for a place where
size is no disadvantage. The dracsenas
are beginning to color, for while the
croton gets its color in summer, the
dracsena colors in fall. There are great
numbers of the popular varieties, such
as Massangeana and terminalis, and
a smaller number of the rarer varieties
Areca luteseens m the medium sizes

The gem of the Christmas plant sec-

there was a shortage in this stock. The

week. There were shipments from
Watertown, Wis., and from the Heit-

dications, this fall is going to be fine
for business and should surpass former
years if conditions remain normal.

Various Notes.

John Kruchten, of Chicago, was in
town September 30 and October 1, ac-
companied by Mrs. Kruchten. They
visited relatives and friends, and Mr.
Kruchten spent some time among his
friends in the trade.

Adam Zender, of Rogers Park, Chi-
cago, was the guest of F. H. Holton
last week. During Mr. Zender 's stay
in Milwaukee a party, including F. H.
Holton, H. V. Hunkel, N. Zweifel and
Mr. Zender, made a trip to Sheboygan,
where they visited the greenhouse
range of J. E. Matthewson.

Louis Bauscher, of the Freeport
Floral Co., Freeport, 111., was in Mil-
waukee September 30. Mr. Bauscher is
thinking of opening a store in this city
if a suitable location can be obtained.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The storms that did so much damage
in the Gulf cities last week reached
Tennessee, but here they were no more
than heavy rains. The ground is well
soaked and if frost holds off a few
more weeks, there should be an unusu-
ally heavy fall growth of bulbs and
shrubbery. Cannas are blooming bet-
ter than at any time this season. Occa-
sional lilacs are opening their spring
bloom. Dahlias are reveling in the cool,
damp weather and have never averaged
so large and so well colored. They are
selling well. The last planting of gla-
dioli is blooming at present and the
flowers seem to be the best of the year.

Carnations are obtainable in quan-
tities in this city at present. Roses
are almost a glut in the market and
the quality is good. There is a much
larger percentage of the newer vari-
eties, such as Ophelia and Hoosier
Beauty, than in previous years. The
local growers seem not to be afraid to
go in for the new things.

Chrysanthemums are beginning to
come in to add to the general over-
supply of flowers. But prices are good
and the sales about normal for the sea-
son. Everyone seems to feel that busi-
ness will soon be good enough to clean
up the heavy supply, but all are look-
ing forward to the first good frost with
longing of heart. Outdoor chrysanthe-
mums are opening now and there are
some good ones in the private gardens.

bered that they live for years here and
increase rapidly. It might be sup-
posed that they would soon be so com-
mon that the demand would cease.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. is selling some
good chrysanthemums this week. The
company recently installed a refrigerat-
ing plant and does not hesitate to say
that the expense is less than for the
old iceboxes.

Mclntyre Bros, are again at the front
with their high grade carnations. They
certainly know how to grow carnations.

Hillerest School Farm reports a heavy
bulb business this fall. The farm al-
ready has moved more than half as
many bulbs as were sold last season
and the season has hardly opened.

Geny Bros, are installing a refriger-
ating plant this week. They have been
cutting good mums and have done a
good business the last two or three
weeks. F. B.

HicksvUle, 0.— Charles W. Seibert
has just completed a new Moninger

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business was good in all lines last
week, although the fashion show had
little effect in the florists' line except
for corsage bouquet work. It did not
make up for the difference in the cost
of window displays, however. A trav-
eling salesman from a large eastern
concern said the windows were the best
he ever saw anywhere.

The American Royal Livestock and
Horse Show is being held this week,
which means that many yellow mums
will be disposed of.

Funeral work has been unusually
heavy, while other lines have increased
also. Flowers are coming in freely and
the demand increases accordingly.
Carnations have been in heavy demand
and not enough of them available. In
the last week they have improved won-
derfully in firmness. Dahlias are still
plentiful and of better quality than
at any time this summer. Boses are
more plentiful and prices on them are
rising. Chrysanthemums were more

numerous last week and from the looks
of the greenhouses there will be plenty
of them from now on. They are of good
quality.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray reports a heavy run
of funeral work all last week. His
window for fashion show week was ar-
tistic.

The Elmhurst Landscape & Nursery
Co., which makes a specialty of sum-
mer cut flowers for floristp, is bring-
ing in some of the finest dahlias that
have ever been seen in this market.
Its gladioli this summer were of the
same quality, having as high as twelve
to fifteen flowers to the spike at one
time.

W. J. Barnes has his greenhouses in
good shape, consid-aring the amount of
remodeling he has done. He has about
800 good cyclamen plants, ranging
from 4-inch to 8-inch, which look es-
pecially well. His begonias and other
Christmas stock are also in fine con-
dition.

Miss L. E. Boggess has returned from
a two months' trip through the west.

Floral Co., while trying to avert a col-
lision with a mcrtorcycle last week, was
thrown from his automobile, and is suf-
fering from a broken collar bone aa a
result of the accident.

C. H. Hartman, a nurseryman, was
badly cut and bruised when a street
car struck his motorcycle and knocked
him to the pavement. The mishap oc-
curred October 3.

The George M. Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co. reports a heavy out-of-town
business. The company will have a big
lot of mums from its greenhouses from
now on.

John Stevens says that he cannot
cut enough carnations. The demand
for them has been the strongest he ever
has had at this time of year. He sup-
plies 2,000 a day to one firm alone.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that consign-
ments arriving are heavier, but that
they go as fast as they come in. The
demand is heavy for any flower that
is good.

SOME NEWPORT ESTATES.

At the estate of Mrs. H. D. Auchin-
closs, at Newport, R. I., where John
Mahan has charge, the flower gardens'
are extensive and contain many attrac-
tive features. The new rose garden,
the trained fruit trees, the outdoor
grounds and the greenhouses, all are
full of interest, but the extensive and
tastefully planted rock garden is the
great feature. Real rock and alpine
plants are grown, not coarse-growing
annuals and perennials, such as are
seen in so many so-called rock gardens.

The fine new estate of Commodore
James, where Joseph Greatorex is
superintendent, covers about sixty-nine

acres. The location is magnificent and
the ocean views are superb. The
Italian garden of blue and white flow-
ers was beautiful. The rock gardening
is well done. The roof of one of the
•greenhouses was pink with dipladenia
flowers. An extensive new rose gar-
den, planted with hybrid teas, both
dwarfs and standards, was completed
last spring.

Daniel Hay, at Mrs. French Vander-
bilt's, has a fine garden covering five
acres, for vegetables and flowers for
cutting. In the greenhouses geraniums,
chrysanthemums, orchids, roses and
gardenias are chiefly grown. Qladioli
here were fine. Sweet peas on bam-
boos nine feet high were still bloom-
ing well.

At Mrs. Thomas J. Emery's a beauti-
ful new rose garden was added this
season; also a new bowling green and
vegetable garden. Among the many
hybrid tea roses. Chateau de Clos
Vougeot, rich crimson, and Willowmere,
rich coppery apricot suffused with rose,
were fine. The flower gardens, lawns
and shrubberies here are extensive and
well planted. In the greenhouses I
noted two divisions of grapes; also
one house containing nectarines and
peaches in pots and another one planted
with tomatoes. A. J. Dorward has
charge of this interesting estate.

At E. J. Berwind's, on Bellevue ave-
nue, a new sunken garden, entirely
planted with beds of the scarlet Be-
gonia Erfordii, with temples and foun-
tains of marble, was added this year.
The extensive lawns here are in as
nearly perfect condition as it is possi-
ble to have them in America. Constant
mowing, rolling and weeding, with an
abundance of water, are necessary for
this. There are many beautiful box
edgings here, in perfect condition, and
large numbers of big specimen boxes
that were planted over twenty-five
years ago; also great numbers of speci-
men bays, privets, retinosporas, etc.
This estate is kept up in princely style.
In the greenhouses I noted a fine batch
of Amaryllis Belladonna in flower.
Bruce Butterton has charge of this
estate.

PAGES OF BETAILERS' CARDS

This department for the carda of
Leading Retail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
many years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let^
your customers know you]
can perform this service]
for them. To receive yourj
share — well, The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — ^now
— before you forget it?

The liarket.

Steady cool weather, with the fact
that most people have returned from
their vacations, has had a tendency to
improve business and, though the sea-
son has not yet fully opened, many re-
tail florists report better trade. Some
still find it rather quiet. Collections
are reported slow by quite a number.

The social season has not yet opened.
When it does there will doubtless be
quite a noticeable increase in the re-
tail trade. There is a moderate amount
of funeral work at present, an occa-
sional wedding and a slowly increasing
counter trade. The growers almost
without exception have fine stocks of
plants. If prices are fair and they can
dispose of all their output, they look
forward to a prosperous year.

Carnations have been blooming some
for three or four weeks, but not pro-
fusely, and the first flowers were of
poor quality. Within a short time there
will be an abundance of the finest of
blooms. Each week sees more chrysan-
themums in the market and the quality
is improving. It is too early yet for
the high-grade blooms or for large
quantities of the flowers. Growers in
and about Newark will be able to sup-
ply good stock in large quantities as
soon as the chrysanthemum season
really arrives. Orchids are more plenti-
ful and of good quality. Boses are
fair for this time of the year, and suf-
ficient in quantity to supply present
needs. Some fine Easter lilies are

The Market.

It is pleasing to be able to note a
great improvement in trade. There has
been a striking advance in prices and
a good general clean-up has taken place.
The continued cool weather and the
passing of outdoor flowers, added to an
improved demand due to weddings and
other functions, have been stimulating
factors. The rose market is vastly im-
proved. October 1 was the best day
the rose salesmen had experienced for
months, and the prices averaged double
those of October 1, 1914. American
Beauties make from $20 to $35 per hun-
dred, with short grades from $4 to $10,
and a good demand. For Ophelia, Mock,
Hadley, Eussell, Killarney Queen,
Hoosier Beauty and Sunburst the de-
mand has vastly improved, while for
the older standard sorts even the short
stems easily make $2 per hundred.

Carnations have greatly improved.
The demand for white has been espe-
cially good. Select flowers make $3;
other grades, $1 and $2. The quality is
steadily improving. A fair number of
single violets are coming in. Golden
Glow and Smith's Advance are prac-
tically the only mums so far, but other
sorts are due this week. Valley is sell-
ing better; so are lilies. Gladioli and
asters are nearing the end. The best
flowers of the latter are grown under
glass. These realize good prices. Cos-
mos, dahlias and snapdragons sell a lit-

tie better. There is now an abundant
supply of Cattleya labiata. Prices on
the best floveers are dovpn to $4 per
dozen. A large crop of Oncidium
Eogersii is available. For asparagus
and ferns the demand has improved.
Plant trade is improving. Nice cycla-
mens, ericas and Lorraine begonias are
now seen at the stores, with an abun-
dance of fine foliage plants.

Various Notes.

Wheeler & Co., of Waban, are the
largest growers of orchids exclusively
in the vicinity of Boston. They have
5,000 plants of Cattleya labiata, which
is their leading cattleya. Hundreds of
blooms were open on these October 1.
Several thovisand C. Triana; are grown,
and smaller lots of C. Mossias, C. Gas-
kelliana and C. Harrisonia?. Oncidium
Rogersii and O. tigrinum carried quanti-
ties of spikes. Dendrobium formosum
giganteum is largely grown and does
splendidly. As many as a dozen flowers
were seen on a number of growths. D.
Phalffinopsis is also well liked here and
is preferred to Schrcederiana. One di-
vision is devoted to Calanthe Veitchii,
and one house, with a large tank down
the center, to Phalanopsis amabilis and
Schilleriana. All the orchids are in
splendid condition, and they reflect
great credit on John Mutch, the able
manager.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
returned October I from a two months'
transcontinental trip. Mr. Christensen
is a keen observer and, as his horticul-
tural knowledge is extensive, he can
talk most entertainingly of his trip.
After visiting Niagara he went to Chi-
cago, where the establishment of Poehl-
mann Bros. Co. and the parks were in-
spected. Later he went to Denver and
made several side trips from there. The
alpine flora on Mount Corona was won-
derfully beautiful. Salt Lake City,

Twenty- five years catering to the retail trade.

Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland,
San Francisco, Pasadena, Los Angeles,
San Diego, the Yosemite valley, the
Yellowstone National park and many
other points were visited. The return
journey was made by Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, a short trip being
made to Mexico. Stop-offs were made*
at El Paso and Houston. Several estab-
lishments in and around Philadelphia
and New York were inspected on the
way home.

The Budlong Kose Co. reports busi-
ness vastly improved. Especially fine
with this firm now are Ophelia, Mock,
Stanley, Sunburst and Shawyer. Fran-
cis Scott Key sells well. Of Bussell
they have a large house just coming in.

Penn made a mammoth horseshoe,
twelve feet high and six feet across,
September 30, which was presented by
3,000 citizens of Fitchburg, Mass., to
Pat Moran, of the Philadelphia Na-
tional baseball team, then playing in
Boston. The flowers used were scarlet
dahlias, 2,500 in number. October 1
they had an immense number of baskets
and other flower arrangements for
Geraldine Farrar's opening in Carmen,
at Symphony hall.

P. J. Donahoe completed sixteen
years in the rose selling business Oc-
tober 1. Mr. Donahoe is one of the
widest known rose salesmen in the east
and handles only first-class flowers. His
Beauties, from the Scarboro green-
houses of Pierson Bros., are always fine.
He also handles the entire output of
the Montgomery Co., Hadley, Mass.
The Eussells are superb. Ophelia also
is fine, and Hadley is coming along in
great shape. October 1 was one of the
best rose days Mr. Donahoe had for a
long time.

McAlpine Bros., Exeter, N. H., are
getting some nice flowers of Taft,
Double White Killarney, Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Killarney Queen, Hoosier Beauty
and Ward, in addition to their spe-
cialty, Black Beauty.

The annual fruit and vegetable show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, held October 2 and 3, was an ex-
cellent one, the quality being unusually'
good. The Blue Hill Nurseries staged
a fine bank of herbaceous perennials,
including some excellent asters and
seedling phloxes.

P. & W. O. Jahn, of East Bridge-
water, are shipping to W. H. Carr a
fine assortment of carnations. En-
chantress Supreme sells remarkably
well. Other good sorts are Benora,
Pink Delight, Matchless, White En-
chantress and Beacon.

Fred !L. Sly, of South Stoughton, has
been shipping in single violets for a
couple of weeks. Both his singles and
doubles are looking well.

William R. Morris, of Wellesley
Hills, is sending in fine shipments of
Ophelia, Eichmond, Killarney and
White Killarney roses. He has other
varieties which will soon be in season.

The directors of the Boston Flower
Exchange have declared to stockholders
an annual dividend of fifteen per cent.
The annual meeting will be held Oc-
tober 23.

The Houghton-Gomey Co. had at-
tractive displays of orchids and dahlias
in the windows October 2,

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
still finds Queen a profitable white car-
nation to grow. He had no trouble in
getting $3 per hundred for them Oc-
tober 2. Alice and Matchless are each
doing well with him.

From the Mishawum Flower Co. some
fine Smith's Advance and Golden Glow
mums are coming in, Thomas Eoland,
of Nahant, is also sending in the same
varieties.

Eureka carnation proves profitable
with A. H. Knight, of Shrewsbury.
Benora, Matchless, Pink Delight and
Enchantress are his other leaders.

The Market.

At present we are enjoying delight-
ful fall weather and, because of it,
l)usine8s showed some improvement last
week. A good killing frost is needed
before steady business can be recorded.

In the wholesale market many roses
are coming in daily, of all varieties and
much improved in quality, especially
Russell and Hadley. Ophelia is much
improved in color and stem. These,
when extra fancy, clean up well. Kil-
larney, Ward and Richmond form the
bulk of the rose stock.

Carnations are becoming more abund-
ant and their quality is much improved,
but the bulk of them are short of stem.
The fancies clean up at $2 per hun-
dred. Enchantress, Ward and Beacon
are in the majority. Violets are becom-
ing more numerous and are showing
better quality because of the cooler
weather. They sell well. Some extra
good valley and Easter lilies can be had
at any time.

Among the outdoor flowers, there still
are many asters, cosmos, dahlias,
gladioli and tuberoses. There seems to
be a good call for all of these; thej'
are used by the retailers for window
displays. Mums are increasing in quan-
tity and some good blooms are coming
in. Smilax, asparagus and adiantum
have good daily sales.

Various Notes.

There will be no flower show here
this fall. As the Henry Shaw prizes
of $500 are available for flower shows
held in this city, an effort will be made
by the committee in charge of the meet-
ing of the American Carnation Society
to have these prizes offered at this
meeting and exhibition, which takes
place January 26 and 27, 1916. This
committee, of which J. F. Ammann is

M. F. Widmer, of Highland, 111., spent
a day here last week. Mr. Widmer re-
ported that he had cut back all his
roses except Ophelia, of which he is cut-
ting splendid blooms. All his surplus
stock is consigned to this market and
handled by C. A. Kuehn.

Charles Meyer, of Kirkwood, is finish-
ing several new houses. When the
houses are completed Mr. ^Meyer will be
one of the largest growers of Kirkwood.

Last week Robert Newcomb made his
first business visit to this city as the
representative of W. W. Barnard Co.,
Chicago. Arnold Eingier, secretary of
that company, accompanied Mr. New-
comb.

Horace Lloyd, head of the Shackel-
ford Nursery Co., on the St. Charles
rock road, informs me that he has
bought 100 feet of ground adjoining the
nursery, which will be planted with
young nursery stock this fall.

B. Lechner, of the firm of Lechner
Bros., bulb importers of Webster
Groves, 'Mo., says that all of their im-
portations of Dutch bulbs have arrived.
The force has been busy filling the bulb
orders.

E. L. Rogers, manufacturer of florists'
wire designs, has moved his wire shop
to 212 North Fifteenth street, which is
closer to the wholesale district.

Several of the Belleville florists were
in town last week. They reported that
trade was satisfactory.' E. W. Guy will

meeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety next January.

Harry Young & Son, who have a re-
tail establishment on Maryland avenue,
have finished remodeling their store and
have everything in shape for the fall
season.

The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
its last outdoor meeting of the year at
the home of its president, Jules Bour-
det, at 2 p. m., October 14. It is ex-
pected that 100 members will attend
the meeting. '

The street fair of the South Broad-
way Merchants' Association this week
should result in good business for Oscar
Heile and the Diemer Floral Co., who
have handsome stores along the route
of the big carnival.

Kirkwood, the home of a score of
growers, is the oldest suburb of St.
Louis. Last week it celebrated its
fiftieth birthday with a big parade and
barbecue, in which the florists took a
prominent part. Luther Armstrong, the
oldest inhabitant of Kirkwood, having
lived there for seventy years, was espe-
cially honored by the florists. Mr. Arm-
strong is a charter member of the So-
ciety of American Florists and the St.
Louis Florists ' Club. J. J. B.

EOCHESTER, N. Y.

Tlie Market.

The weekly report shows that busi-
ness has been good, indeed. The
weather has been considerably cooler
and stock is in much better condition.
There is the promise of a few good
October weddings, but the smaller so-
cial functions have barely commenced.
Stock is plentiful. American Beauties
are good, both in color and foliage, and
sell fairly well. Other roses, such as
Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Sunburst and
Ward, continue to be favorites. Francis
Scott Key is much sought after. Easter
lilies are plentiful and have sold well.
Callas are slowing up and are small.
Valley is exceptionally fine, but the
demand is not large. Gladioli are not
extra good and few are seen in the
market. Carnations are improving a
little, but still have short stems and
small blooms, and consequently meet
with a small demand. Asters are slack-
ening; there are a few good ones on
the market, but the majority are small.
Buddleias are fine, but do not move
well. There is a fair supply of cat-
tleyas, and the call for them has been
good. Gardenias are scarce. The stock
also includes pansies, coreopsis, Shasta
daisies and mignonette.

There are practically no blooming
plants in the. market except primulas

and outdoor bqgonias, which have been
repotted. The supply of greens meets
all demands. An unusual quantity of
ferns has been sold during the week.

Vaxious Notes.

John House has been confined to his
home for the last two weeks, suffering
from a badly strained ankle, but is get-
ting around again.

Eichard Eoe, of H. E. Wilson's, has
started on an automobile trip to
Brockville, Ont. He will also visit
Ottawa.

George T. Boucher's window pre-
sents an autumn-like appearance.
Hanging from the pergola are numer-
ous hardy hydrangea blossoms, while
below is a splendid collection of ferns,
with two large vases of chrysanthe-
mums. A large cibotium makes an ele-
gant background.

Visitors last week included Mrs. F.
Higinbotham, of Victor, N. Y.; C.
McCarthy, of P. L. Carbone's, Boston;
Thomas Knight, of Knight & Struck
Co., New York; P. M. Phillips, of S. A.
Weller, dealer in jardinieres and pot-
tery, Boston, and C. M. Archer, of the
Eoseville Pottery Co., Zanesville, O.

A display that attracted unusual in-
terest was seen in the window of the
Eochester Ploral Co. last week. In ad-
dition to the usual lattice, a large arch
of candytuft was made, with the flow-
ers all in test tubes. Hanging from
the arch were large quantities of yel-
low silk ribbon. Yellow mats covered
the bottom of the window, on which
were gracefully arranged several bask-
ets of yellow chrysanthemums. A jar-
diniere stand, with a vase filled with
yellow and white chrysanthemums,
completed the arrangement.

Milton Selinka, of Schloss Bros.,
New York, visited the trade last week,
showing an extensive line of fall novel-
ties, lie reports business good.

Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, N.
Y., is bringing in some excellent Phila-
delphia carnations. The color is ex-
ceptionally fine and the stems are good.
His Delights are also fine.

A new yellow auto delivery car has
been added to the equipment of H. E.
Wilson.

■Mrctary-Treasarer. 0. B. Kendel, OleTeland. 0.

The St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, re-
ports the arrival of six boxes of flower
seeds from Erfurt, Germany, via parcel
post.

The giganteum bulbs are due any day
now. Advices from Japan indicate that
there will be no surplus of the 1915
crop.

Unless all signs fail, the 1916 seed
catalogues will show a quite general ten-
dency to return to the simple life. No-
body is saying much about it, but a lot
of hard thinking is being done over the
question of cost of books. The use of
fine paper, big cuts and costly printing
hM, in the view of many, quite possibly
been overdone. Larger editions of less
expensive books may be in order.

The pickle packers, who have had
rather short crops for several years, have
not fared so badly this season as was at
first thought likely. While many patches
were lost because of excessive rainfall,
quantities of stock came to the salting
vats in late September, after the season
usually is over. Yields run from 200
bushels per acre down to nothing. One
man with 90,000 bushels in brine esti-
mates the average yield as ninety to 100
bushels per acre. In Michigan the har-
vest has been above the average.

John C. Leonard, vice-president of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has returned
from a tour of the Michigan cucumber
sections, and reports that of the best
grade there is not more than half a crop.
As a result of the shortage, cucumber
seed will in all probability advance in
price. The report is brought from Ken-
tucky by A. H. Smith that the acreage of
onion sets in that part of the country was
unusually small. The yield, however, is
quite good for the number of pounds
planted. The total output, though, is so
small that it will cut no figure with the
Chicago market.

The board of directors of the Whole-
sale Seedsmen 's League will meet at New
York October 7, the object being, accord-
ing to Secretary Landreth, "to consider
the subject of the alarming shortages in
seed supplies, both at home and abroad.
The meeting will be attended only by mem-
bers of the board, the deliberations subse-
quently being made public to all members
of the league and to such other seed estab-
lishments as work in harmony with it."
"It so happens this autumn," adds Mr.
Landreth, "that, while the shortage is
calamitous in many articles of seed, it is
at the same time serious in nearly every-
thing."

After November 1 the Shugart &
Ouren Seed Co., of Council Bluffs, la.,
will be known as the Ouren Seed Co.
The decision to change the corporate name
was reached at a recent stockholders'
meeting, when the capital stock was in-
creased to $100,000, which is double the
former capitalization. Mr. Shugart, who
was identified with the company for many
years, retired five years ago and the pres-
ent stockholders deemed it advisable to
drop his name from the title. The offi-
cers of the company are: President, C.
G. Ouren; vice-president, F. E. Davis; sec-

There are considerable quantities of

Local frosts October 4, in the middle-

corn and vine seeds.

Seedsmen will be interested in the
notes on the Johanssen place at El Monte,

If all the candidum bulbs offered as
"north of France" actually came from
there it must be a more peaceful region
than cable reports would lead one to
suppose.

The seed stores that handle Dutch
bulbs nearly all report an unusually good
opening of the season. One ordinarily
expects little demand for bulbs until
frost has killed the soft stock in the sum-
mer beds.

HASSLACH MAKES DEFENSE.

With reference to the recent reports
of the arrest of several seedsmen at
St. Remy de Provence, France, charged
with trading with the enemy via
Switzerland, Jacques Hasslaeh, resent-
ing the implication that he is a Ger-
man, has issued the following state-
ment: "I, Jacques Hasslaeh, seed
grower at St. Remy de Provence, am a
Swiss, native of Schaflfhause, Switzer-
land. My family, father, grandfather,
were all Swiss. I am living in the
south of France since thirty-two years,
constantly in the seed trade. I am a
naturalized French citizen, not freshly,
but for nine years, and have even been
applied to for service at the military
camp at Marseilles a few years ago.
The seeds I sent out to neutral coun-
tries were authorized by license of the
French minister of war and the min-
ister of finance."

Threil ''Superfine'' New Spencers for 1916

An Average
Spray of
"FIERT CROSS
reproduced
from a
Fordhook
PhotoBraph

"Fiery Cross"

"Fiery Cross" is a most appropriate name for a most
uausual novelty. Daring tlie seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, when Scotland was continually at war, the
method employed by the chiefs to gather the clans to re-
pel invaders was by means of a flery cross, which was
taken from hamlet to hamlet by the speediest man avail-
able. The fiery cross was simply a blazing pine branch.
"Fiery Cross" has all the appearance of live fire, the
color being a scorching -fire-red, or scarlet, without any
shading and which scintillates and glitters in bright sun-
light, thus adding a glowing, fire-like sheen which radi-
ates over the flower. Unlike most of the orange-scarlet
varieties, it does not scorch or burn even
during extended periods of intense sun-
shine, therefore it can be grown in all
soils without shading. The beautifully
waved and fluted flowers are borne freely
in threes and fours, well placed on long
stout stems.

"Fiery Cross" was recommended for
the Silver Medal variety of National Sweet
Pea Society of Eaglaad, July. 1914. which
was awarded July, 1916. It received an
Award of Merit at the exhibition held by
the American Sweet Pea Society at the
San Francisco Fair, June 10, 1915, as be-
ing the outstanding variety in the Show.
Also Certificate of Merit at the Sweet Pea
Exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society, June 23, 1916; and Silver
Medal at the Seventh Annual Exhibition
of the American Sweet Pea Society, New-
port. R. I., July 15, 1915.

Prices for "Fiery Cross" Sweet Pea

In sealed packets containing ten seeds
each: Per pkt., 25c; $2.00 per dozen pkts.; $13.75 per 100 pkts. In lots of
500 packets or more, $12.50 per 100 pkts.

If 600 or more packets are ordered at one time and it is so re-
quested, we shall print on the packets the name and address of the pur-
chaser and supply free an electrotype of either the spray or single flower.

"The President"

This will compete with "Fiery Cross" as the greatest novelty of the
year. It is wonderfully brilliant, in fact it might be termed a glowing
scarlet self. The flowers are of largest size, carried on strong, stiff
stems, usually in fours, always beautifully waved even when well ex-
panded and most harmoniously placed. It has been termed "the bright-
est color we have in sweet peas" and does not burn. "It is head and
shoulders above anything of a similar color" and probably will never be
surpassed in the orange-scarlet section. We were awarded Certificate of
Merit for "The President" by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society,
June 23, 1915, also by the American Sweet Pea Society at Newport, R. I.,
July 15. 1915, and have pleasure now in introducing this unusual novelty,
simultaneously with our friends Messrs. Alex. Dickson & Son, the celebrated Rosarians, of Belfast, Ireland.

New Spencer Hilary Christy

We were much pleased with this beautiful and distinct
novelty in 1914 in the Essex cultures of our friend, Mr. Hugh
Dickson, then President of the National Sweet Pea Society
of Great Britain. The trial at Fordhook the past season has
also been most satisfactory and we have great pleasure in
now first offering the seed in connection with the originator.
The plants grow strongly, bloom profusely, bearing flowers

colorings are very chaste and refined.

The Florists' Review

October 7, 1915.

MOTT-LT QLEANINOS.

The Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., of
Faribault, Minn., reports great success
with the' new white, Danish oats and
the Golden Jewel and Silver Jewel Dent
corn. These have passed the experi-
mental stage and should prove valuable
to eastern farmers.

A member of the Thompson Bros. Co.,
of Muscatine, la., who recently made a
tour of the company's farm and neigh-
boring farms, reports that the corn sit-
uation is a serious one. There has been
too much rain. Timothy is running
short in this section.

Charles Stewart, of Stewart's Seed
Store, Omaha, Neb., says the local de-
mand for seeds has increased so great-
ly that he has decided to give more
attention to that branch of the busi-
ness and drop decorative stock, han-
dling cut flowers only. In remodeling
the store, greater depth and frontage
will greatly facilitate matters. The
nursery will be retained, as orders for
fall planting are beyond all expecta-
tions. This is attributed to the wet
summer, which has given joy to owners
of gardens, for such an abundance of
flowers has not been seen for many
years. Billy Sunday was here, pouring
hot shot into what he terms the mil-
dewed portion of humanity. Mr. Stew-
art commented that a certain insecti-
cide accomplishes big results on fung-
cussed vegetation.

H. G. Windheim, manager of the Ne-
braska Seed Co., Omaha, says the
prospect for an average yield of seed
corn looks brighter because of the ab-
sence of frost. There may be a consid-
erable percentage of small kernels.
Trade has been good.

The Younkerman Seed Co., of Coun-
cil Bluffs, la., predicts an extraordi-
nary demand for both seed and poultry
supplies next season, owing to the short-
age of certain stocks and close buying
for some time past.

Manager Chambers, of the Griswold
Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., is of the
opinion that, following the war, there
will be inquiries by European houses
for many of the American varieties of
grain, to replace the exhausted home
stocks.

The Gunn Seed Co., Lincoln, is the
latest addition to the list of seed
houses. E. S. Gunn, proprietor, was for
many years connected with the Gris-
wold Seed Co. and is well known locally.
Mr. Gunn is much encouraged by re-
sults so far.

The Chesmore-Eastlake Co., of St.
Joseph, Mo., has had an excellent seed
season. Mr. Chesmore is anxiously
awaiting his bulb importations. M.

A BBITISH VIEW.

The Holland bulb growers seem to
have learned a lesson last season, as
there appears to be an effort to protect
the American market, instead of cut-
ting it out from under the feet of those
who had placed advance orders, as was
done by cheap offers last autumn.
There is, of course, the disposition to
sell the jobber, then the jobber's cus-
tomers and, finally, the planter, but
this is so large a country that even
the efforts of something over 100 trav-
elers from Holland and the appoint>-
ment of numerous resident representa-
tives has not served to seriously em-
barrass the large buyers; they still can
sell.

▲cants for THK GROWERS* ASSOCIATION, Anna Paulowna, Holland

England may be had from the follow-
ing extract from a British trade paper:
"In the Times one day last week a
Dutch firm, whose name is not unknown
to British growers, had a whole page
advertisement of bulbs. The advertise-
ment was a bold venture and its appeal
to the sympathy and generosity of the
British public was strong. It is, how-
ever, hard lines on British growers and
bulb merchants that the Hollanders
should be making frantic efforts to se-
cure our retail, as well as our wholesale
trade. We stand in urgent need of
every bit of business there may be, and
it is rather beyond reason that the Hol-
landers should first stock our ware-
houses, and then strive to steal our
customers. We are so easy-going that
I suppose the most we shall do is to
murmur that 'it's a bit too bad,' but
really the home trade should take defi-
nite steps to show the Dutch growers
that there ia a place to draw a line.
If Holland wants our wholesale orders
we must be allowed to keep our own
retail trade, and I consider we are
much to blame if we permit it to be
otherwise, because if the Dutchmen in-
sist upon poaching upon our proper
trading ground, we should stop buying
Dutch bulbs altogether."

TROUBLE WITH CUCUMBEES.

Our cucumbers have been dying ever
since we shifted them into 4-inch pots.
The largest are now about eight feet
high and we are losing more than ever.
The soil in the houses was steamed be-
fore the plants were set, but the pot-
ting soil was not. I do not think the
trouble is wilt, as we never have had
this on the place. I have found bugs
about a quarter of an inch long, which
have a yellow back spotted with black,
I think this bug stings or bites the
plants, causing them to wither and die.
I notice that in the houses where the
bugs are most numerous, the most
plants are dying. I have not been able
to find anything to kill this bug. I
have used arsenate of lead, Paris green,
nicotine and smoke. Some of the
plants begin to wilt at the top, others
farther down, on the leaf part, and
still others on a lateral. The roots are
perfectly healthy. Can you suggest a
remedy! C. O. P.— la.

The particular pest you describe I
am not acquainted with. Inasmuch as
your soil in the beds was all sterilized,
any soil pests must have come in the
potting soil. You do not say that this is
a soil pest. I infer that it is something
on the wing, as you call it a bug, and
say that it stings the shoots, thus cans-

ing wilt. Poisonous substances, such
as Paris green or arsenate of lead, while
good for leaf -eating caterpillars, . are
useless against stinging insects, and
probably a soapy spray, to kill by con-
tact, would be futile. If, however, the
bug flies, is something akin to the
aphides, and can be hit by a spray of
nicotine, soap or something similar,
such a spray should kill the pests. It
is well to remember, however, that cu-
cumbers have tender foliage and a
strong spray will scorch them.

The most certain way to destroy the
pests would be to use hydrocyanic acid
gas. A weak dose would undoubtedly
kill the bugs, but in hot weather there
is great danger of also injuring the
plants. A weak, all-night exposure is
what I should recommend as the most
positive cure. The formula for using
this gas has often been given in The
Beview. Remember that it is a most

potted. Why not get some stems and

NEW SEATTLE STOBE.

At Third avenue and Madison street,
Seattle, Wash., a store has been opened,
under the name of the Orpheum Floral
Co., by Felix Eosaia, formerly of
Eosaia Bros., Inc. It is large and well
adapted to the display of flowers, and
business during the few weeks since
the opening has been encouraging. The
accompanying illustration gives a view
of the front of the store and also of
Mr. and Mrs. Eosaia.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

There is decidedly more snap to the
business in the retail stores this week.
Transient trade is better, and patrons
are returning from their summer
haunts by sea or mountain. Society
events always begin after Fashion
week, and the cooler weather also
makes for good trade. The shipping
trade has improved for the same
reasons, residents of Arizona, Nevada
and other sections served by this cen-
ter having returned and begun to buy
flowers again. Flowers generally are
hardening in price as well as quality,
roses being better than for several
weeks. The supply of all kinds is
about the same as last reported, a few
violets having appeared and more
Cecile Brunner roses.

Various Notes.

Without making any invidious com-
parisons, it is safe to say that the
Beverly Hills Nursery, presided over
by J. J. Beeves, is unique in Cali-
fornia. We have had plant "sharps"
who go in strictly for botanical curiosi-
ties and others who try to raise exotic
stock not suited to the climate or
needed by the trade. But Mr. Reeves
has a way of finding out whether or
not a plant or tree is suitable for this
section, and if it comes up to standard
he grows it in large quantities. The
result, as stated is a unique collec-
tion of the choicest trees and shrubs
that will thrive in southern California.
A noteworthy point in the enormous
number of grafted conifers. Many of
the best kinds vary so much from seed
that it is unsafe to plant seedlings.
Here the grafted stock comes in. Mr.
Eeeves has selected trees of true or im-
proved types and he obtains his scions
from these, grafting them on seedling
or cutting stock of commoner kinds. A
splendid block of beautifully colored
Cedrus Deodara bears testimony to the
wisdom of this selection, as well as
many hundreds of retinosporas, thuyas,
cupressus, pinus and others. Propaga-
tion is going on continually to keep up
the large acreage demanded by the
trade. The stock is to be seen in all
sizes. Rare forms of deciduous and
evergreen trees and shrubs are every-
where, one particularly distinct plant
being a dwarf spreading diosma, more
free in bloom and decidedly superior
in every way to the old D. ericoides.
Then Mr. Eeeves has raised several
beautiful little myrtles, almost as fine
in foliage as a heath and clustering

Mr. and Mrs. Felix Rosaia in Their New Store at Seattle, Wash.

close to the soil. Acacias and eucalypti
from Australia are also among the nov-
elties, some so distinct that they are
hardly recognized as belonging to
either of these well known genera. The
place, in short, is full of interest to the
tree and shrub lover, and Mr. Eeeves
is deserving of the highest praise for
the splendid results obtained.

O. C. Saakes and E. W. Saakes are
the recipients of condolences from
their many friends on the death of
their mother last week in San Fran-
cisco. O. W. Saakes wbs already in
the northern city and his brother set
out immediately on the receipt of the
sad news.

G. M. Bridgford, the well-known cut
flower grower of Eagle Rock, says that
the 1915 season is by far the best he
has ever had, and he will add heavily
to his plantings this year. This kind of

thing is certainly refreshing in thfr
face of the calamity howling that has-
been indulged in of late in certain
places.

Henry W. Turner's grand rose, Sep-
tember Morn, is gaining ground among
the growers and retailers, largely on
account of its delicate perfume and
long-lasting qualities. I noted some
excellent flowers of it at Wolf skills '^
& Morris Goldenson's this week, where-
it is a great favorite.

Seed Co., at El Monte, is looking fine.

ment of this place, is surely death on.
weeds, for hardly a weed can be seen
all over the r^nch. Eoguing has been
thorough this year, resulting in extra
true looking blocks of all the popular
varieties as grown for seed. Zinnias
are especially good, the mammoth

scarlet, crimson and yellow being per-
fect in size, contour and rich, vivid
coloring. Owing to the summer heat
in this section, asters are hard to keep
true to form, but anything showing a
single center is ruthlessly culled out,
with the result that seed is saved only
from the best double forms in the in-
dividual strains. Phlox Drummondii
and verbenas are two kinds largely
grown here; also the finest types of
candytuft, mignonette and the pretty
Dianthus Heddewigii in variety. While
this farm is not large as compared
with the company's holdings both
here and farther north, the excellent
state of cultivation and the splen-
did quality of the stock make it a
great credit to Mr. Johanssen. One
thing I should have noted is a perfect
strain of cockscomb, grand in coloring
and form, dwarf, and in every respect
a winner, I was sorry to hear that,
owing to sickness, Mrs. Johanssen has
been unable to visit the farms this
year.

"Plenty of funeral work," is the
report of the Kedondo Floral Co.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The local trade seems to have en-
tered a "between seasons" period, for
business is quiet. This is attributed
to diminishing exposition attendance,
while the usual local fall activity has
hardly started. The shipping trade,
however, is steadily increasing and, as
stock is not overplentiful, Values are
well maintained. There are still a good
many nice scabiosas, gypsophilas and
marigolds, but most lines of summer
stock are playing out. A good deal
of cosmos is used, and quite a lot of
amaranthus is sold. Carnations also
continue rather scarce and all special
quality stock is spoken for in advance,
though oflEerings are improving. Vio-
lets are beginning to show up fairly
well. Street venders are already han-
dling a^ good many. Asters still are
appearing, but are poor. Chrysanthe-
mums show considerable improvement
in both quantity and quality. There
is a fine cut of Golden Glow, and Mon-
rovia and Crocker are plentiful and ex-
cellent. Ilnaka also is showing up well
and is fairly popular and the Chinese
outdoor mums are coming in freely.
Pompons are rather popular, but not
overplentiful. Th^e is a fine cut of
dahlias, though the demand is hardly
up to expectations, owing to the unusu-
ally early mum season. The late gla-
dioli are excellent and always find a
ready demand. Scarcely any lilies are
coming in, but the supply of valley
keeps up fairly well and finds quite a
large demand. Hoses are gradually
improving, but there is hardly enough
long stock to meet the demand. Beau-
ties are scarce and poor. There is no
surplus even of short stock. Ward,
Hadley, Eussell and Killarney Bril-
liant are all popular. There is a good
cut of gardenias, but they clean up
quickly and more could be sold. Or-
chids are limited to a few fine sprays
of oncidium. The large cut of cattleyas
will not be in for several weeks. Greens
continue in strong demand. Flowering
plants are rather scarce. Less cocks-
comb is seen and while a good many

cially baskets and bouquets presented
to Mayor Bolph, who was reelected by

which was quite fitting, in view of the
active electioneering done for Mr.
Kolph by Angelo J. Rossi.

week and looks for the normal increase
in activity during the fall.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing
in a fine lot of late Mrs. Francis King
gladioli and also is showing some fine'
Harrisii ferns. A large number of
these have been sold in- the last few
weeks. This company's new iceboxes
are completed and in use and the ship-
ping business will soon be in full swing.
So far they are shipping violets only
to a few points within the state.

It looks as if the chrysanthemum
growers might make some money this
year. The mums are bringing good
prices and are coming along evenly,
not all in a bunch as they did last year.
There is a big planting of Appleton
that will come in late, making an ex-
tremely long season.

Albert 0. Stein had another fine dec-
oration last week at the Fairmont
hotel, where he furnished the setting
for a banquet for 100 people, in honor
of the Swedish Commission at the expo-
sition. In the decoration he used 110
dozen Crocker chrysanthemums and a
big lot of E. James's mauve cocks-
comb.

Daniel MacRorie, of the MacRorie-
McLaren Co., is leaving for a trip to
southern California. This company has
recently furnished a large quantity of
tropical stock for the Hawaiian build-
ing at the exposition.

Mrs. R. E. Darbee says the violet
plants are looking fine, though she is
not picking any yet and will not bring
in her shipping stock until about the
middle of October. She says she is
having no trouble with red spider. She
is already beginning to ship a good
many mums and roses. Mrs. Darbee
has just received notice that Wells
Fargo & Co. are putting on a new
refrigerator way car service, to leave
Tuesdays and Fridays, similar to that
operated by the American Express,
Wednesdays and Saturdays. This will
enable local shippers to dispatch goods
in refrigerator cars four days in the
week. The new service will make de-
livery at all points along the line, going
as far as New York. This will be a
great help to those who are getting
stock from California, as well as to the
local shippers.

Much interest was taken in the meet-
ing of the Pacific Coast Horticultural
Society, October 2, as this was the last
meeting before the fall flower show, to
be held October 21 to 26, under the
auspices of the society, in conjunction
with the Chrysanthemum Society of
America. The show will be held under
especially favorable circumstances,
owing to the facilities of the exposition
and the inducements for participation
on the part of growers all over the
country. In view of this and the large
number of attractive prizes offered, the
show is expected to surpass anything
of the kind ever held before on the
Pacific coast. H. S. G.

Business for September was better

the outlook is more encouraging. So-

there seems to be a stronger demand

Exhibits at State Fair.

In planning the new pavilion which
was opened this year, the state officials
recognized the desirability of using
flowers around the exterior. Alongside
the entrances and in front of each col-
umn on the colonnade, buttressed beds
were built, and several ground beds
with concrete borders were located near
the corners and between the entrances.
As this is the first permanent building
in a general plan to replace the old
wooden structures with concrete, the
floral decorations about it are of spe-
cial interest. H. W. Skiff, the gar-
dener in charge, has made a good
showing under unfavorable conditions
and has grown a variety of plants
about the old buildings, wherever he
could find a place for them.

Commercial display beds were planted
by the Portland Seed Co., Clarke Bros.,
J. J. Butzer, Gill Bros., the Willamette
Dahlia Co., and Cherry City Dahlia
Farm. These were not competing.

The indoor exhibits were in charge
of Prof. A. L. Peck, of the department
of horticulture of Oregon Agricultural
College. In the riahlia section the Wil-
lamette Dahlia Co. was awarded first
prize and Gill Bros, second for profes-
sionals, and S. Penniston first for semi-
professionals. Mr. Penniston brought
his exhibit from Ashland, Ore.

In the section of general exhibits,
Carl F. Ruef, of Salem, was awarded
first prize and Eahn & Herbert Co., of
Clackamas, second, for professional ex-
hibits. The prizes were $100 and $50.
There was a considerable list of prizes
for special professional exhibits and
the amateur section contained many
items. Before another fair is held, this
premium list will be revised to pro-
vide for a more diversified display.

The Oregon Agricultural College,
through its extension department, had
a good exhibit of blooming and foliage
plants and kept its greenhouse fore-
man there to answer questions.

The tendency to shade prices when-
ever a man comes shopping to place a
good order for nursery stock is due, as
much as anything else, to a more or less
general belief that production has out-
stripped demand.

John S. Kerr, of the Texas Nursery
Co., Sherman, has been on a trip in the
valley of the Eio Grande, where 80,000
young Bartlett pear trees planted under
the Elephant Butte dam soon will come
into bearing and are expected to create
an improved market for all fruits by
attracting buyers to the district.

As a result of extensive tests, the en-
tomologists of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture have found that cal-
cium arsenate, a new insecticide, gives
promising results in the control of cer-
tain insects that do damage by chewing
on fruit trees. Among the chewing in-
sects against which the arsenate of cal-
cium proved effective, in laboratory and
field tests conducted at Benton Harbor,
H|ch., are the codling moth, the fall web-
worm, the tent caterpillar and the tussock
moth. The details of the various experi-
ments are published in Department Bulle-
tin No. 278, "Miscellaneous Insecticide
Investigations. ' '

FLOBIDA NUESEEY LAW.

Under the Florida plant act of 1915,
Florida nurseries are inspected several
times per annum. A nursery is open
for inspection at all times without
warning.

All shipments originating outside of
the state must have plainly marked
thereon a statement or tag showing
the names and addresses of both the
consignor and consignee, the general
nature and quantity of the contents
and the name of the locality where
grown, together with an inspection cer-
tificate issued by the nursery inspector
or corresponding state official where
the plants were grown, together with
a permit certificate issued by the Flor-
ida nursery inspector. These permit
certificates will be consecutively num-
bered and will be issued at cost as
follows:

100 tags $1.50

200 tags 1.75

300 tags 2.00

500 tags 2.50

1000 tags 3.50

The nursery company is required to
furnish the nursery inspector, at
Gainesville, Fla., a duplicate invoice of
every order upon which a permit cer-
tificate is used, this invoice showing
an exact record of the contents of
each bundle and the number of the
permit certificate used thereon. To ob-
tain the permits, a nursery without the
state must file with the Florida nurs-
ery inspector at Gainesville an ap-
proved and satisfactory certificate is-
sued by the proper government or state
official at the point of shipment, to-
gether with the cash for the number
of certificates desired.

TEXAS NURSERYMEN MEET.

The Texas' Nurserymen 's Association,
at its fifteenth annual session, held at
Waco, September 28 and 29, reelected
William B. Munson, of Denison, presi-
dent of the body. It is his second
term in that oflSce. Vice-president J.
M. Ramsey, of Austin, also was re-
elected.

New officers chosen were John S.
Kerr, of Sherman, secretary and treas-
urer, a position which he has filled
once before, and E. W. Kirkpatrick, of
McKinley, member of the executive
committee of the Texas Farmers' Con-
gress. 1

Two important conclusions were ar-
rived at and embodied in the report of
the meeting. One was a resolution en-
dorsing the uniform inspection law to
govern nurseries and orchards, as rec-

ommended by the National Association
of Inspectors and Nurserymen. The
second was a report by the horticultural
committee, which aims to secure for
the nurserymen a share of the state
fund available for extension work in
agricultural and horticultural develop-
ment. The association gave its sup-
port to the movement to establish a
state board of horticulture in Texas.

In the discussion of the extension
fund and its administration, the speak-
ers complained that although the nur-
serymen were pioneers in starting the-
extension work, they have been more
or less ignored.

inspection was directed mainly at the
Oklahoma law, which is said to dis-
criminate against Texas nurserymen.
J. E. Mayhew, of Sherman, Tex., a
member of the executive committee of
the American Association of Nursery-
men, read 9, report of the legislative
committee in which it was explained
that the objectionable paragraph in
the Oklahoma law is that which re-
c|uires a nurseryman in Texas to file a
bond of $1,000 before he will be per-
mitted to solicit business in Oklahoma.
The Texans have no liking for red
tape.

The report dealt with the inspection
rules and regulations of Oklahoma also.
Steps have been taken to force a legal
test to see if the attitude of the Okla-
homa officials toward Texas nursery-
men can be sustained by law. It is
claimed that the law as it now oper-
ates is discriminatory against the grow-
ers of the Lone Star state.

President Munson, in his annual ad-
<lre8s, commented on the situation de-
veloped by the war. The last year, he
said, was ,a good year for stock, but
the war had scared the nurserymen,
some of them cutting prices, and this
ha I a bad effect. He thought this
should be discouraged.

dresses or took part in the discussions
of subjects of interest to the associa-

The Market.

The cool weather last week did not
serve to increase business to any
marked extent, but reduced the supply
of stock and the sacrifice prices which
had been prevailing for some time were
conspicuous by their absence. The fea-
ture of the week's business was the
scarcity of white flowers of all kinds,
especially roses. Lilies, white carna-
tions and dahlias were bought as fast
as the wholesale houses offered them.
During the latter part of the week the
demand was greater and it seemed as
though the supply grew smaller. A few
white mums came in and were eagerly
sought for. Golden Glow is arriving in
limited quantities and selling well.
Roses, other than Killarney, are in good
demand. Carnations are in better sup-
ply and are quickly sold; the quality is
gradually improving. In the green
goods line, both smilax and Asparagus
plumosus are in oversupply and the
sales for them are small. Dahlias sold
well during the latter part of the
week, especially in the markets. The
quality of dahlias has greatly improved
with the coming of cooler weather.

Various Notes.

James Glass is erecting a 35-foot
brick smokestack, to replace the iron
one temporarily erected last year, fol-
lowing the wrecking of the original
stack during a gale. His poinsettias
and cyclamens are in good shape.

Pierce & Co. have several large wed-
ding orders booked for this month.
Lawrence Kreuder, one of the firm, was
on a business trip to Philadelphia last
week.

W. J. Myers has a new car.

De Forrest Terry has given up the
store he formerly occupied at 1409
West Baltimore street.

One of the rose houses at the B. Q.
Merritt range, at Colgate, has been in-
fested with a tiny worm, which enters
the rose bud in a small state and then
eats the entire bud. Even the young-
est shoots have fallen prey to this
pest, which has withstood all attempts
to destroy it by insecticides. No one
who has seen it is familiar with it and
the experts from the Maryland Agri-
cultural College are experimenting with
the worm. They hope to provide a
means for its extermination, as it bids
fair to destroy the entire crop of
blooms for some time to come.

At the next club meeting, October 11,
Bichard Vincent, Jr., will speak on the

The Florists' Review

October 7, 1915;

BIBMINaHAM, ALA.

The Market.

When the bad weather came last
■week, the bottom dropped out of the
market and since then it has been a
problem for the salespeople to keep up
a semblance of activity. Even the fu-
neral trade, which is a mainstay of
Birmingham florists during hard times,
has dwindled to nothing.

Everybody is anxiously awaiting the
■chrysanthemums. A few have shown
up elsewhere in Alabama, but as yet
we have only had a little coloring to
show. Every retail store is laying in
supplies and stock, in anticipation of a
heavy fall business. One of our best
reasons for this view is an official re-
port to the effect that November 1
will see every unit of the iron and
steel industry in this section in full
blast. This will make current thou-
sands of dollars and the florists are de-
termined to get their share. It has
been several years since the steel com-
panies have been in full operation.

Various Notes.

Herman Owens, of T. G. Owens &
Sons, reports that the rose stock is in
a better condition than ever before.
Mr, Owens has had some wonderful Ea-
diance and Mock on display at the
Second avenue store. This fifm ex-
pects to handle a large amount of whole-
sale trade this fall.

The McDonald flower store, on First
avenue, has had several improvements
made during the last month. The dis-
play window recently featured a minia-
ture Japanese garden.

The Parker estate reports a splendid
crop of cyclatoen. The carnations are
doing well.

The Elmwood Nursery Co. has some
excellent .azaleas coming on and predicts
a price of $7.50 each during the holiday
season. "W. J. Z.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Evans Floral Co., with green-
houses on East Main street, has opened
a cut flower branch in the lobby of
the Virginia hotel, at Third and Gay
streets. Miss Griswold is in charge of
the new place, which has a nice coun-
ter, icebox and some window space,
which makes a nice showing.

Miss Thompson is to entertain a num-
ber of the younger folks in the trade
next week and they are to try to or-
ganize a social club and have a. differ-
ent member entertain them once a
month. Miss Thompson is connected
with the Columbus Floral Co. and
thinks they can work up a good mem-
bership, having about forty at present.

The Florists' Review

OCVOBIB 7, 1916.

LANCASTEB, FA.

The Dalilia Show.

The dahlia show held last week in
Exposition hall at the Lancaster coun-
ty fair was a decided success. More
than 100 of the newest varieties of
dahlias were shown. They were staged
September 28 and lasted throughout
the week.

In the general florists' class, Frank
A. Suter received first money and also
a silver cup for showing the most va-
rieties, locally grown.

David F. Bose, an amateur exhibitor,
received first prize in cactus, show and
peony-flowered classes, three vases to
each class.

H. D. Rohrer showed thirty-two va-
rieties. A. F. Strickler had a credi-
table display, as did B. Frank Barr &
Co. Adam Felsinger, of Lancaster,
staged, for exhibition only, fifty vases
of finest quality dahlias.

S. S. Penmock, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, judged
the exhibits. The committee in charge
of the dahlia display was made up of
Albert M. Herr, H. D. Rohrer, George
G. Goldbach and A. F. Strickler. They
were ably assisted by a number of tha
club's members.

Exhibitors from out of town were the
McCallum Co., Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land; S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Phila-
delphia; John Young, East Prospect,
Pa.; R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White
Marsh, Md.; Henry F. Michell Co.,
Philadelphia. John F. Rupp, Shire-
manstown. Pa., showed a vase of his
new blue petunia, a beautiful shade. A
number of out-of-town florists attend-
ed the show.

The local newspapers pronounced the
show one of the principal features of
the fair and complimented the Lan-
caster County Florists' Club on the ef-
fort.

Various Notes.

The club will hold its next meeting
October 21. Robert Pyle, of West
Grove, will give an address. A full re-
port of the dahlia show will be made.

Charles B. Herr entertained the glad
hand committee of the Florists' Club
of Lancaster at croquet September 30.
J. Wade Gayley and Ira H. Landis,
of Paradise, Pa., played against J.
Rutter Hess, of Gap, Pa., and Mr.
Herr. Landis and Gayley won.

George G. Goldbach is confined to St.
Joseph°s hospital, where he is suffer-
ing from an attack of blood-poisoning.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The market last week showed a won-
derful improvement and stock sold at
much better prices. The sudden change
in the temperature had worked havoc
in many lines, but the cool weather has
resulted in the production of some ex-
ceptionally fine dahlias. Carnations
are improving and^re in salable shape,
bringing about $2 pfir hundred. Orchids
are overplentiful. There is little sale
for these flowers at this time of the
year and the price has fallen consid-
erably. White roses, while not over-
plentiful, are obtainable in suflBcient
quantities to meet all demands. On
the whole, roses are poor, on account of
elimatic conditions. This fact makes
the northern asters, which appeared for
ihe first time last week, all the more
welcome. They are coming into the
market in large quantities, but are
cleaning up well on account of heavy
funeral work. White, yellow and pink
chrysanthemums are now to be had in
far better quality, while the quantity
is increasing.

Various Notes.

Adolphus Gude, Jr., who has been
spending the summer vacation on the
Bweet pea ranch of A. C. Zvolanek.
Lompoc, Cal., has returned to Wash-
ington to resume his studies. While in
the west he visited both of the ex-
positions and on leaving for Washing-
ton visited several of the large cities,
as well as spending some time in the
Grand Canyon of Colorado.

George H. Cooke furnished four hand-
some pieces for the State Department
for the four men who lost their lives
on the submarine F-4, who were buried
in Arlington cemetery last week.

Fred H. Kramer has been receiving
large quantities of bulbs from Holland,
another shipment having reached him
last week.

Among the visitors in Washington
who came to participate in the en-
campment of the Grand Army were
A. A. Reed, of Whitman, Mass.; U.
Cutler Eyerson, of Newark, N. J.;
Emma Baumer, of Louisville, Ky., and
H. B. Euppert, of Boston.

The encampment of the G. A. E.
came to a close October 2, after a week
of extensive entertainments. Fully 50,-
000 visitors were in Washington for
the occasion. All are loud in their
praise of the good work done by the
citizens' committee which handled the
arrangements. At the head of this com-
mittee was William F. Gude, who was
on the job day and night for more
than three weeks, supervising all of
the details in person. It is planned
that the appreciation of the citizens of
Washington of his efforts shall take
the form of some fitting testimonial,
the plan for which is already under
way. Associated with Mr. Gude were
George H. Cooke, president of the Flo-
rists' Club; Fred H. Kramer, and
others, while O. A. C. Oehmler was
prominent among the Sons of Veterans,
who acted as an escort for the old sol-
diers and were otherwise engaged in
making their stay in this city a pleas-
ant one. 0. L. L.

The Florists' Review

OCTOBIB 7, 101S.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The market has tightened up to such
a point that at the close of last week
and during the first part of this week
everything cleaned up. Prices are bet-
ter than they were. Shipping businesd
is excellent.

Boses are in heavy supply and of the
highest quality. Th^e offerings include
a large cut of Killarney and White
Killarney, American Beauty, Bich-
mond, Ophelia, Shawyer and Taft.
Carnations are meeting with an active
demand. Easter lilies are not quite so
plentiful as they were, but rubrums
are in good supply. The first of the
early chrysanthemums are in the mar-
ket. They clean up readily. Other
offerings include dahlias, cosmos, val-
ley and orchids. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Nearly all of the local florists gath-
ered at the Murphy home September
29 to pay their last respects to their
old friend and associate, William
Murphy.

C. E. Critchell has been putting many
cases of ferns into cold storage during
the last fortnight.

Charles Pfeiffer & Sons have been
sending many excellent dahlias to the
Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange.

L. H. Kyrk has been receiving some

The Market.

Business last week was exceedingly
good, counter trade showing a big im-
provement. We are receiving some
fine Golden Glow and Smith's Advance
chrysanthemums, but there is not much
demand for them. Boses are plentiful.
Dahlias are selling better this year
than in previous years, all of the
florists having had heavy calls for
them. Cyclamen has made its appear-
ance in several of the stores.

Various Notes.

A. L. Besancon & Co. had a busy
week. This flrm had the decorations
for the Belin reception and dance. The
color scheme of brown, yellow and red
was carried out in the ballroom. The
orchestra was screened by white lat-
ticework, entwined with autumn leaves,
and baskets of tritoma marked the sec-
tions of the screen. A hedge of
dahlias in red and bronze formed the
entrance. In the hall Italian baskets
of dahlias and southern smilax were
used. The library was decorated with
baskets of dahlias.

Thomas Arner has the honor of
growing the largest tomato in the city.
It weighed twenty-two ounces.

Greenhouse Heating.

HOW MANY 4-INOH EUNS?

Will you please tell me how many 4-
inch beating pipes would be required
in a greenhouse 36x75 feet to keep the
temperature between 50 and 60 degrees
in zero weather? The house runs east
and west, and is sixteen feet high.
The walls are seven feet high, and are
three feet wood and four feet glass.
The house is exposed to the wind, and
is heated by hot water. A. S. — 111.

To heat the house described, about
900 square feet of radiating surface
will be needed. This will require
twelve runs of 4-inch pipe. Of these,
at least three or four should be flow
pipes. If 50 degrees will answer in
the coldest weather, the number of
runs might be reduced to ten.

I should prefer to use smaller pipes,
and suggest four 2^-inch flow pipes,
and fifteen 2-inch returns.

FOB ADDITIONAI. RADIATION.

Please let me know whether I can
use the following arrangement for ad-
ditional hot water piping for four
houses, each fifty feet long. The houses
are on a hillside and the boiler is at
the bottom of the hill. The boiler is
rated to heat 1,000 running feet of 2-
inch piping and I intend to use that
much.

The boiler is at the east end of the
lowest house. I intend to run a 2-inch
pipe from the boiler to the highest
house on the hill, then run the pipe un-
der the bench fifty feet west, return
fifty feet east, drop the pipe three feet
in the next house, run it fifty feet west,
come back fifty feet east, run it fifty
feet west in the same house, drop it
two feet in the next house and run it
to the boiler. The second feed pipe
would go from the boiler to house No.
3, run fifty feet west, fifty feet east,
fifty feet west again, drop to the last
house, run fifty feet east, then again
fifty feet west, and back to the boiler
fifty feet east.

Will such an arrangement work! All
the pipes are so situated that the water
will have a natural fall to the boiler
shed. The expansion tank will be at
the end of the first house on the hill
and will hold twenty gallons. I must
have the new pipes under the benches,
as the present ones are all above.

C. A. D.— Ohio.

WHICH SHALL IT BE?

CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratings, fuel waste, dan-
ger of breakdowns by cracking of sections, dealers' commissions on sales)— OR

KROE8CHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest and "true blue"
boiler ratings, safety, quick heat, factory-to-user prices).

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY ABOUT

KROESCHELL BOILERS

Cast Iron Boiler Cracked
in Two Years

"We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. It takes
care of 7O00 sq. ft. of glass; It would take care of
twice that amount.

I first liad a new cast iron boiler 'whicli
lasted two years, when it cracked tu
pieces. The second was a second-hand boiler.

I consider your boiler the best paying; Invest-
ment I ever made.

You can refer anyone to us."

Marysvllle Floral Co., Marysvllle, Ohio.

Cast Iron Cannot be Compared
with Kroeschell

"We bought 8 No. 2 Boiler in 1904. It takes
care of SUOO sq. ft. of Rlass, and we could add
2000 more. We are very well satisfied. We
used a cast iron boiler before we had
yonrs. It cannot be compared with the
Kroeschell Boiler. Your boiler has cer-
tainly a ereat capacity for heating water."

Hall & Robinson, Montreal, Canada.

Kroeschell Better Than
Cast Iron

"I bought a No. 8 Boiler in 1903. It has now
10,000 sq. ft. of glass, and we could add 3300
more. This is ahead of five or six cast
iron boilers which I have used. I saved
$50 per season on the coal bill."

M. C. Ward, Quincy, Mass.

"I bought a No. 4 Boiler In 1902. Has 7000
sq. ft. of glass; could add 2000 more. It Is per-
fectly satisfactory. Would keep only Kroeschell
Boiler. Wonld not have a cast iron boiler
for a sift." Qeo. Engol, Xenia, Ohio.

Mr. Engel has increased his plant and ordered
another No. 4 Kroeschell.

Better Than Cast Iron

"Wo bought a No. 1 Boiler In 1902. It is very
satisfactory. We had several cast iron
boilers, but like yours much better."

K. Ferrand & Sons, Detroit, Mieli.

Cost of Heating One-half Less

Than With Cast Iron Boilers

"I bought a No. 3 Boiler in IflOl. We had a
corrugated cast iron flre box boiler and a sec-
tional cast iron boiler before we bought yours
in 1901. The cost of the heating with your
boiler is one-half less than it ivas with
iny cast iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler,
which we bought recently of you, is not being
run to Its capacity."

Wm. Geenen, Kimberly, Wis.

Has enlarged place and Installed another No. &
Kroeschell.

Kroeschell vs. Cast Iron

"I have one of your new 1910 model Kroeschell
Boilers, and same has proven very satisfactory.
We have no trouble to keep temperatures In
the coldest weather. We flre once or twice
(luring the day, and once at night, and have
had the beet satisfaction I have ever experi-
enced In a boiler. Formerly I had two cast
iron boilers; one cracked and I toolc
both of these boilers out. My coal hill
with the cast iron boilers ran from $19.'j to
$207 per season during the past seven years.
This year, with your boiler and soft coal, my
coal bill was only 1103, and I still have some
coal left. Your boiler Is the best and cheapest
on the market, not alone for the price, but also
In fuel saving. I am very glad that you are
so well known in ^ffalo, N. Y. I have never
heard anything but pral.se. In which I }oin
heartily. Wishing you every success, I remain.

Some Ready Helps
to your

Heating Problems

All these cuts show you the parts
of our Eidjustable expandlnf; pipe
hook, that win carry from one (1)
to fourteen (14) pipes. It's a
threat convenience and a decided
money saver.

piGHT NOW is the time when
'^ any delays in getting just
the right thing for the right
place, in connection with your
heating installation or repairs,
is a mighty serious thing to you.

It's the time when our Handy
Hand Book is invaluable, as in it
you can find everything in the
line of fittings you might need,
from the simplest to the most
complicated connection.

Any fittings you buy of us, you
know are not only made the very
best they can be made, but they
are absolutely practical. Our
half a century's experience is
back of them, and our guarantee
backs up that backing.

When, as in the case of our
automatic Headers, for example,
you can make the one fitting do
the work of several, you cut down
both on cost of the fittings and

the cost of the labor. But that
isn't all; your coils are auto-
matically relieved of all air
pressure. The economy of your
heating is increased.

Take the matter of pipe sup-
ports—we have one for every
place and purpose, whether it be
a single hook for clamping to a
pipe column, spool bearers for
steam, adjustable cradles for
swinging the pipes under the
benches or a special eight (8)
hook hook, for attaching to flat
iron side posts— we have them
all.

Of course, as a grower, we wil^
gladly give you the very lowest
discount price on all fittings as
well as on a Bumham boiler.

We can make shipments these
days in regular jig time. Take
down your Handy Hand Book
and send along your order.

Hook for attaching
to flat Iron post. Also
comes for screwing
to wooden posts.
Made in six (6) sizes
to carry from one (1)
to six (6) pipes.

Spool bearers for
clamping to pipe col-
umns. Come in
either single or dou-
ble Bided, to carry
from one (1) to four-
teen (14) pipes. Also
made for flat iron
posts.

length of the pipe, if arranged as pro-
posed, will make the circulation ex-
tremely sluggish. It would be prefer-
able to run two 214-inch flow pipes,
supplying with each of them the radia-
tion in two of the houses. The size of
these flow pipes may be reduced to 2-
inch after the radiation in the first
house has been connected. Two-inch
pipe should be used for the radiation in
the houses, and the returns, instead of
running back and forth through the
houses, should be connected directly
with the main returns, which should be
of the same size as the main flow pipes.
Where more than two lines of 2-inch
pipe are needed in a house, one 2-inch
flow can be used to supply as many
as three or four 2-inch returns.

Since the circulation to the highest
house will be most rapid, valves should
be provided to equalize the circulation
to the different houses.

CHIMNEY NOT LARGE ENOUOH.

Enclosed is a rough sketch of my
greenhouses. I am using a Wilks hot
water boiler, 42x48. I cannot heat the
small house with the six 2-inch returns
now installed. I am putting in another
boiler, 36x48, of the same make. Can
I use the present six 2-inch returns and
how many more will be needed to heat
the small house to a temperature of 60
degrees in zero weather! The chimney
has a flue 12x12 inches and is twenty
feet high; will it serve for both boilers?

W. S.— 111.

The sketch shows two houses 100
feet in length and twenty-seven and
fourteen feet in width, respectively,
with two feet of glass in one exposed
wall in each house. For the narrow
house I would suggest the use of three
2%-inch flow pipes, running one upon
each plate and the other two feet under
the ridge. As returns, use six 2-inch
pipes in three coils, connecting one of
the coils to each of the flow pipes. The
boiler for this house should be rated
for 900 to 1,000 square feet of radia-
tion.

While the chimney is amply large for
one of the boilers, it would not answer
for both of them. The flue for a boiler
large enough to heat the small house
should be ten inches in diameter. A
taller chimney would give better re-
sults.

A NEW KEROSENE BUBNEB.

I have a small greenhouse, 12x25,
about eight feet high and containing
about 300 square feet of glass. Do you
think I could heat this house with a
coal oil burner that generates gas from
the oil, as told in the enclosed circular
from the Kero-Gas Co., of Kansas City,
Mo.t The circular, you will notice,
contains illustrations showing the use
of the Kero-Gas burner for both cooking
and heating. Would it be necessary to
run pipes from the heater under the
benches? C. F.— Kan.

I have no knowledge of the Kero-Gas
burner described in the circular, but
kerosene contains more heat units than
most of the common fuels and, if the
burner described vaporizes it properly,
will be found economical and efficient.

Unless some method of distributing
the heat is provided, it will not be pos-
sible to secure a uniform temperature
in cold weather, especially when high

The Heating Problem Solved

Jniiiai strictly accardint ta machaaical merits, it's
the MCTROPOLIUN PATENTED BOILER you want.

Because of their proven sclpntlflpally perfect con-
struction, Metroi>olltHn PHtcntecl Boilers will beat a
Riven amount of water quicker, with leos fu" 1 and
leas attention than any other lioiler on the market.
The remarkable hentln^ eflBclency and quick
steamlni; qualities of these bxlUM's are due to their
lanre and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merii: —

Smooth, perfrct finished castings.
Push nipple connecHnns.
Lai'tre fire box, proviillnfr ample combustion
chamber, and permltlinK a sufficient charire
ot fuel to require attention only at long
intervals.
Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a

sIlKht task.
lifirgc flues, making the boiler easy to clean.
Orates that are made fur hard usage aud long

service.
And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not Fuel
Wasting.
We also make soft coal tx>llers which are smoke*
less, and save 60 per cent in c<>al.

Is this the kind of
boiler you have?

If so, you are getting the best
possible service. If not, it will
pay you to consider the • fol-
lowing facts:

Wilks Hot Water
Boilers

are built to fill the requirements
of the florist having 3000 sq. ft.
or less of glass. Constructed of
the best quality steel, strongly
riveted and calked, with no cast-
iron sections, they will give the
most perfect service possible.

With a magazine holding enough
coal for twelve hours or longer,
they keep an even and continuous
fire for that length of time, re-
quiring little or no attention.

For the man who does his own
firing they are ideal, permitting
him to enjoy a full night's rest
without worry as to the condition
of his fire.

economy and giving a plan for heating a
model greenhouse. Send for it.

winds prevail. For 300 square feet of
glass about 100 square feet of radiation
will be needed, for 60 degrees. This
•will be furnished by 200 linear feet of
1%-inch pipe.

I do not know what the effect of
Kero-Gas upon plants would be, but coal
gas is extremely injurious, and I would
consider it safest to locate the heater
BO that the gas could not reach the
plants in the house.

ONE SMALL GBEENHOUSE.

We have a small greenhouse, 14x30
and nine feet high to the ridge, which
we wish to heat with hot water. Will
two 2- inch flows, branching from a 214-
inch main flow, with ten l^^-inch re-
turns, be sufficient to heat the house for
such stock as geraniums? The top of the
boiler is on a level with the green-
house floor. The house runs east and
west and is well sheltered on the north
by a nearby residence and on the west
by an adjoining shed. One end is
glass a;nd the other end is partly glass.
The north wall is of matched lumber
and is six feet high. The south side
contains two and one-half feet of glass.
What boiler capacity will be necessary?

D. W.— Minn.

To heat the house described, a boiler
with a rating of 250 square feet will
be needed and it will be more eco-
nomical if of 300 square feet.

The temperature desired is not stated,
nor is the outside temperature given,
but the use of two 2-inch flow pipes
and ten l^^-inch returns should hold
the house at 60 degrees when the tem-
perature is 20 degrees below zero out-
side. The flows may be on the plates
and the returns on the walls below, or
beneath the side benches. It is some-
times desirable to have the radiation
extend along the end of the house.
If the end is much exposed, I would
suggest that one 2i^-inch flow pipe be
placed a foot below the ridge and
dropped down at the farther end of
the house, to supply two coils, each
containing three or four 2-inch pipes,
which should run across the end of
the house to the corners and along the
side walls back to the boiler.

The Market.

Crisp autumn days with plenty of
sunshine have done wonders in putting
"pep" in the flower business. October
wedding anouncements are numerous
and funeral work is greatly in demand.
Decorations for department store open-
ings, churches and social functions are
using the stock up each day. Although
there have been no killing frosts up to
the present, outdoor flowers are scarce
and dahlias are the only appreciable
outdoor flower on the market. Asters
are hardly to be reckoned with. Green-
house stock is much improved. Roses
are fifty per cent better in quality and
command good prices. Ophelia, Russell
and Shawyer are the leaders. Chrys-
anthemums are fast increasing in sup-
ply and the demand is exceedingly
good. Pink October Frost is the lead-
ing variety, being the largest on the
market at present. Carnations are in-
creasing in supply and are in demand
for funeral work especially. Lilies are
meeting with a good call for decora-
tive work.

Various Notes.

David Vesey is building a handsome
new residence on Forest Park boule-
vard.

Mrs. Charles D. Bradley, of the
Bradley Flower Shop, is spending a
week in Chicago as the guest of rela^
tives.

The Flick Floral Co. has been busy
with decorations for the department
store of Wolf & Dessauer and the
Gates Cloak House. Many chrysanthe-
mums and roses were used. The decora-
tions for the new Morris Bank were
also done by Miss Flick. R. F.

Among the out-of-town visitors were
Mr. Chick, of Kansas City, and W. B.

day was the biggest day of the fair.
Mrs. Magor was presented with a

PITTSBUItaH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh now is having delightful
summer weather. Last week we had
three light frosts, none of them the
killing kind, but for some reason all
outdoor stock seems to have dropped
out of sight. This has made a better
demand for all good indoor stock, but
not enough to boost prices to any ex-
tent. There are plenty of roses of all
kinds except the special grades of
white. Chrysanthemums and carna-
tions are coming right along and Beau-
ties are plentiful and good. Lilies and
valley were somewhat scarce last week,
but, taking it all in all, business has
been quite good. September closed
satisfactorily and all indications are
for a good season.

The retail stores all report trade as
above that of last year. The stores
all are looking fine with their new
decorations.

Various Notes.

The McKees Rocks Flower Shop has
gone out of business.

The Woodville Floral Co. will open a
branch store in the west end this week.

The Blind Floral Co. is rearranging
its store and the work will be com-
pleted in a few days, when it will be
one of the most attractive in the city.

The year has brought many new faces
among the wholesale employees, a num-
ber of the old ones dropping out of the
game.

John Frampton has gone back to
the Zieger Co., his first love.

Turtle Creek now boasts of a flower
shop.

The Florists' Club met Tuesday,
October 5, to discuss dahlias and other
things.

Ben Elliott is convalescing from the
whooping cough, which he caught while
out on the Pacific coast. Clarke.

Anamosa, la. — G. Lehmann has
earned the right to be known as a vet-
eran of the florists' business, for it
was not until this year, Mr. Lehmann 's
eightieth, that he decided to retire. E.
L. Harvey, son-in-law of Mr. Lehmann,
is now managing the business.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Prices have taken a decided boost on
nearly all stock. Carnations are up to
$2 and $3 per hundred; dahlias, $1.50
to $2; roses, $3 and $6; Easter lilies,
$10 and $12. All stock cleans up quick-
ly. Early mums are much in demand —
quite a contrast to last year, when
extra fancy blooms went begging for
buyers. Valley is in much better sup-
ply; the demand still is strong.

Second Eliminative Bowling Match.

The bowlers are having lots of fun,
finding out who will be the five high
average men to constitute the Cleve-
land team in the flower show bowling
tournament. The results of the second
series of three games were as follows:

Player. 1st 2(1 3d T'l.

H. Bate 171 198 179 648

H. P. Knoble 158 226 163 547

W. Calhoun 133 99 136 368

The final three games will be bowled
October 11, at Erie alleys, when the,
five highest men for the nine games
will be winners of berths on the 5-man
team to represent Cleveland in the
tflower show tournament. F. A. F.

BBAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

Business is still on the up-grade and,
judging by the demand for stock, the
doubtful times are over. Unfortunate-
ly, with Thanksgiving day due October
11, the florists will perforce Qiiss the
chrysanthemum trade and there is poor
consolation in the reflection that the
rainy season is mainly responsible for
this tiresome setback. The muggy
weather during September brought on
Buch a glut of roses that orders this
week have not been half filled, all va-
rieties having been brought up with a
sharp turn since the cold weather set
in a few days back. Carnations are
coming along slowly, and violets, which
are a hundred per cent better in qual-
ity than last year, will be cropping in
profusion in a fortnight. Orchids are
much in demand and large shipments
are made daily across the border; the
sale of orchid plants also is increasing.

Various Notes.

William Sewell, who for many years
designed for J. S. Simmons & Son, of
Toronto, has been given charge of the
design department at the Dale Estate.

Invitations were received for the
opening of Dunlop 's new flower store at
8 West Adelaide street, Toronto, Octo-
ber 6. The store is one of the largest
in Canada and will continue under the

ORDINARY VS. LIQX7ID PUTTY.

During June and July, 1912, our
greenhouses were constructed, and
liquid putty was used. We now find
that the glass will have to be reput-
tied. Our local hardware man has writ-
ten to firms in St. Louis and Chicago,
and they all state that liquid putty is
a failure. It is our belief that liquid
putty will be much cheaper to put on
than ordinary putty, for the reason
that liquid putty can be put on with
a machine in much less time than or-
dinary putty with putty knife. We
ask that you let us have your advice in
regard to the use of liquid putty.

E. F. C— Tex.

The general run of liquid putty on
the market is not nearly so durable as
ordinary putty, especially those brands
prepared for greenhouse use. I should
prefer to use ordinary putty in which
about five per cent of white lead has
been thoroughly incorporated. If
liquid putty is to be used, I should add
the same amount of white lead, but
should not expect so durable a job as
with common putty. It will also re-
quire careful attention to the cleaning
of the putty guns. T.

CLAM SHELLS IN SOIL.

I should like to know whether de-
cayed clam shells are of benefit to
ground on which flowers, trees and
shrubs will be grown. There is a large
mound of them near the lots where I
am going to start in the nursery busi-
ness. H. K. — Cal.

There is a little fertilizing agency
in clam and other shells. The whole
shells are useful as drainage in pots or
flats. They are more valuable in the
land if ground up and would be most
beneficial on heavy, retentive soils. Do
not, however, expect any startling re-
turns after using them. C. ^V.

Fairmont, Minn. — John McCullough,
of Eeinbeck, la., is to erect three green-
bouses here this summer, each 25x125.

Marietta, O. — The retail store of the
Marietta Floral Co. has been acquired
by the J. W. Dudley Sons Co., of
Parkersburg, W. Va., and will be con-
ducted in the future by the new own-
ers, who have other establishments at
Parkersburg, Clarksburg and Hunting-
ton, all in West Virginia. The Mari-
etta Floral Co. retains its greenhouses,
which hereafter will be devoted to vege-
table growing.

The Market.

Breaking in between the asters and
the chrysanthemums, dahlias have been
playing a conspicuous part in the ac-
tivities of the market. For the first
time the granges and similar associa-
tions throughout the state have been
holding dahlia exhibitions, with the re-
sult that there has been an unusual de-
mand for these flowers, especially the
light-colored cactus varieties. The ad-
vance guard of the chrysanthemums
has appeared in good numbers, whites
being quite plentiful and retailing from
$1.50 up per dozen. The early cuts of
carnations are better and roses are
showing a decided improvement in
quality.

Various Notes.

Among the heaviest taxpayers in the
town of East Providence, according to
the annual assessment just filed, are
Joseph Koppelman and wife, $16,350;
George H. Johnson, $7,415; Lawrence
Hay, $6,225, and Andrew J. Olsen and
wife, $5,200.

Charles fcsmith and wife celebrated
the eighteenth anniversary of their
wedding on Sunday, September 26.

G. S. Congdon, whose greenhouses, at
Bristol, were badly damaged by hail
early in the summer, has decided to
discontinue business this winter.

John Roth, for several yeats with
Charles H. Hunt and later with Joseph
Koppelman, is now associated with
Frederick Dietz, 24 French street.

William H. Tarbox, of West Green-
wich, had an exhibit of asters at the
Danbury, Conn., fair last week, made
in the form of a windmill, eight feet
in height, partly covered with moss.
More than 2,000- asters were used.

Swan Peterson is having a new green-
house, 20x100, erected at 56 Central
avenue. East Providence.

The largest taxpayers in Cranston,
according to the returns of the asses-
sors, include the following: Frank L.
Budlong, $19,960; J. A. Budlong & Son
Co., $112,485; Budlong Rose Co., $144,-
530; Emma T. O'Connor et al., $131,170.

Walter S. Sword and wife, of Valley
Falls, have returned from a vacation
trip to Montreal.

A new greenhouse is being erected
on the grounds of the Butler hospital,
on Blackstone boulevard.

E. A. Chipman, at Woonsocket, has
been making an offering of 2,000 house
ferns at 10 cents to $5.

HOW THE "ANKLET"
BOUQUET MAKES GOOD

The latest creation in cut flower arrangements is the so-called anklet
bouqiirct, conceived either by a soubrette or a florist who was trying to do
something ''different." While possessing, perhaps, certain attractions for
persons with overweening desire for the conspicuous, the only real use for
the idea lies in its advertising possibilities.

HOUGH itself no glittering
success, the tale of the
tango bouquet never will
be told of its unregenerate
progeny, the anklet, nick-
named from bracelet. The
reason is that while a flo-
rist might with perfect
propriety recommend to
his most discriminating
customers the trial of one of the vari-
ous forms of shoulder or arm bouquet,
he would be a most rash, thoughtless
and undeserving retailer who would
even suggest that a lady tie flowers on
her leg — no matter how near the shoe!
The anklet bouquet is a freak; it
makes a dandy ad, under certain cir-
cumstances, but that is as far as it
goes. It will make people talk, but it
never can be sold, except, perhaps, now
and then for stage use.

How It Happened.

The genesis of the anklet bouquet is
perfectly simple. When the new close-
position dances came
in they proved de-
structive of the flow-
ers that formerly
were sold in such
large quantities,
made up in bouquets
for the corsage. Not
only were the flowers
crushed, but the cos-
tumes were soiled.
An up-to-date florist,
who did not intend
to sit passive and
watch a passing fad
cut a slice off his
profits, got busy and
devised a way of off-
setting his losses. The
result was the so-
called tango bouquet,
much advertised and,
for a time, a hit. As
most florists know,
the tango bouquet
was worn over the
shoulder, around the
neck, or on the arm,
and therefore was not
subject to the hard
knocks the corsage
bouquet received. Af-
ter The Review illus-
trated some of these
bouquets in one of its
leading articles, hun-
dreds of florists tried
them and last season
many were sold in

place of corsage bouquets, but it is
probable that the demand for them
today is comparatively insignificant.

Making Talk.

In the attempt to elaborate the tango
bouquet many freak ideas were 'de-
veloped— some of them good for adver-
tising purposes, but all of them short-
lived. It was inevitable that someone
should conceive the notion of decorat-
ing the dancers' feet. Of course, as a
novelty the anklet bouquet is interest-
ing, but it is quite plain that it never
will have any real possibilities so far as
sales are concerned. The burlesque or
musical-comedy queen may adorn her
ankle with flowers to furnish material
for her press agent, and the anklet
bouquet occasionally may be reported
as seen at the barbers' ball, but it sel-
dom if ever will be in evidence at the
tango tea or debutantes' cotillion.

There is a way, however, in which
the anklet bouquet can be turned to
good account — in advertising. Unpala-

Style Show Week Window with Anklet Bouquet oa Living Model.

table as the fact may be, the truth is
that the commendable commonplaces
seldom cause comment — it is the unu-
sual, the odd, the fantastic, the bizarre
that sets the tongues a wagging. That
is the use of the anklet bouquet. One
wouldn't offer it as the example by
which his taste or discrimination was
to be judged, but for a show window
demonstration during the county fair
or in fashion week it would be the
means of pulling the crowd away from
the drug store window with its woman
combing her wonderful hair amid bot-
tles of the elixir; it even would win
the walkers from the grocer's sidewalk
kiosk where the well-known colored
gentleman in cook's attire hands out
samples of corn flakes — and as for
creating talk, these others would not be
one, two, three.

In tlie Window.

It was in such a manner that C. W.
Crum employed the anklet bouquet at
the Des Moines store of U. L. Craw-
ford and to say he
made a hit is putting
it mildly. He em-
ployed a model to
pose in the window
and supplied her pho-
tograph, with her
flowers, to the local
papers. He got col-
u m n 8 of publicity
and made his style
show window the talk
of the town. Every-
body came to see the
lady with flowers on
her ankle.

Of course Mr. Crum
did not make the mis-
take of showing noth-
ing more salable than
the anklet bouquet.
There were many
conservative, recom-
mendable things
there to catch the
eye of the spectator.
Corsage bouquets,
brides' bouquets,
ferns, baskets, cut
flowers — ^^all that the
window could artis-
tically contain was
on display, and if
"Once a customer,
always a customer"
is the motto at the

end of the year

should show a gratifying increase over
that of last year.

Retailers who use their heads as well
as their hands in running their stores
have material for a good advertising
"stunt" in the anklet bouquet.

AN APOSTLE OF ART.

He Carries a Notebook.

Samuel Seligman, the affable gentle-
man who sells fabrics and ribbons to
the trade and does other good works for
his firm, is a man of ideas. Now comes
Mr. Seligman with some thoughts on
art, fresh from his typewriter. He pro-
tests that too many florists still copy
the Chinese conception of art. Since
autumn weddings and social affairs de-
mand the utmost of the florist in the
exercise of the decorative talent, and
because nary a bride was satisfied with
less, Mr. Seligman steps fprward as
the apostle of the higher art in floral
decoration.

Chinese art is content to rest itself
in the object and therefore it becomes
a matter of intricate skill, which works
itself out into wonderfully delicate
carvings, tapestry and ornament. No-
where is there a thought of concealing
the art, as the modern aesthetics re-
quire. Rather, the attention is directed
toward the art, or artfulness, of the
work. Here is where criticism No. 1
occurs. The New York apostle of art
considers this a fault in the Japanese
bowls and single flower holders. They
call attention to the incomparable beau-
ty of a few flowers, rather than to the
masses of many.

The Whole Harmony.

For an Oriental bride this might be
the thing, but evidently Mr. Seligman
wishes to impress upon florists the idea
that the American conception of art —
what we are pleased to call the higher
art- — enjoins the artist in flowers to
strive toward an impression of intrin-
sic beauty of arrangement in the whole,
a pleasing color treatment which does
not center the eye on a few bright
spots, and variety which is not conspic-
uous. He then suggests that while
brides and debutantes are in season,
and the new autumn flowers come in
ever greater variety, the great annual
opportunity of the florist is at hand.
Endless are the color combinations
which nature permits.

Mr. Seligman describes the effect
achieved in the color scheme of a stand-
ard sent recently to one of Detroit's
debutantes.

"This standard," says the critic,
"was a standard of peach-colored silk,
with a quaint colonial bouquet at the
base, the standard upholding a concave
bouquet in which a cluster of pink buds
formed the center. The buds were
encircled with valley, which, in turn,
was circled with primulas, then Aaron
Ward buds, then forget-me-nots, etc.,
circle after circle, blending from one
delicate coloring into another, the whole
being fringed with maidenhair fern.
To eliminate the oft occurring paper
collars, the piece was edged with a ruf-
fle of lace."

Birds are the Latest.

Another novelty observed by him was
a wicker bird cage. Each wicker bar
was outlined in tiny pink buds and
baby-pink silverine, showering around
it. The canary was there, of course.

but was quite outshone by the scenery.

A striking etfect was secured at a

In the larger decorations for altars
there is unbounded opportunity for
studies like these. Again Mr. Seligman

Ranged about the sides were several
large Venetian baskets, filled with
brown-shaded hydrangeas, touched with
pink, together with outdoor, autumn
grasses, gathered from the woods. At
this wedding the omber effect was car-
ried out in the color scheme. The re-
sult was most pleasing.

above it, great clusters of autumn
tinged hydrangeas, intermingled with
hundreds of pretty, fragrant white and
pink wistaria blooms. The bride's bou-
quet was of pink orchids and valley,
tied with duotone lace, having just a
hint of pink. The shower was of nar-
row silverine. The house decorations
consisted of dahlias, chrysanthemums
and gladioli. On the bride's table was
a unique, blue bird cage, mounted
above a mass of Aaron Ward roses and
so arranged that the canaries seemed
to be sheltered in an arbor of roses.
The roses were tied in streamer effect
with narrow, blue silverine, to match
the blue of the bird cage."

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Chairman George Asmus, of the Na-
tional Elower Show committee, has
called a meeting of the committee to be
held October 19, at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford hotel, Philadelphia, at 10 a. m. At
this meeting the schedules of the rose,
carnation, sweet pea and gladiolus so-
cieties will be completed and much
other business relating to the show
transacted. On the day previous to the
meeting members of the committee will
meet the chairmen and members of the
different local committees to discuss
details of the work of preparation for
the show, and if any member of the
trade has a suggestion to make either
in regard to schedule or anything else
bearing upon the conduct of the show,
it would be well to communicate with
the management in order that it receive
proper consideration. As all know, the
committee is composed 'of members of
the S. A. F., who are located widely
apart, thus being representative of dif-
ferent communities. Consequently it
is not possible to have frequent meet-
ings, and this opportunity to bring any-
thing before the committee at this meet-
ing should not be neglected.

Preparations in general are well ad-
vanced and a great deal has .been ac-
complished. Space in the trade section
of the show is in good demand, reserva-
tions aggregating in value $6,000 or
more having been made even at this
early date. It is expected that every
foot of space available for trade ex-
hibits will be sold a long time ahead
of the show dates. The greenhouse
builders, plantsmen and others have
mads early selections of locations. But
a few of the choicer blocks of space are
left.

The committee is now prepared to re-
ceive offers of special prizes from the
trade and from others whosd business
brings them in touch with enterprises
of this character. It need not be pointed
out that the publicity to be derived
from our special prize list is worthy of
consideration by all; and again, there
should be some feeling of pleasure re-
sulting from a helpful effort in any-
thing which will advance horticultural
interests. As the second preliminary
schedule will go out shortly after the
meeting of the National Flower Show
committee, donors of special prizes
should communicate their wishes to the
secretary witliout delay.

The all-important business of selec-
tion of a design for the show poster
has been taken up by W. F. Therkildson
and his committee, and the result of
their efforts will be presented at the
forthcoming meeting. Some novel plans
for publicity are expected to be evolved
by this committee.

The plantings on the plots outside of
Convention hall this summer have, as

Prize Window by C. L. Baum, KaozvilIe» TeaQ.» In a Competition In which only Home Producti could be Used.

Robert Craig says, furnished good sub-
ject matter for publicity for the show,
and it is to be regretted that the ap-
proaching frosty season necessitates the
withdrawal of the crotons, the beds of
which have daily attracted thousands.
Looked at from every standpoint, the
Fourth National Flower Show, March
25 to April 2, 1916, bids fair to more
than warrant the slogan that it will be
the greatest horticultural event of
1916, and then some.

BAUM'S BBIDE WINDOW.

Next best to a living figure in a show
window seems to be a dry goods store
bride; it never seems to grow old. The
one illustrated in this issue is repro-
duced from a photograph of the win-,
dow with which C. L. Baum, of Knox-
ville, Tenn., took the prize, October 6,
offered by the local board of com-
merce for the most artistic arrange-
ment of home products. The window
represented a bride carrying a shower
bouquet of orchids and valley, accom-
panied by a flower girl carrying a
basket of Ophelia rosea. This window
attracted piore attention than any seen
in Knoxville for some time. Fifty-
three firms, in all lines of business,
competed for the prize.

PLANTINa SPANISH IRIS.

Will you please tell me how to plant
Spanish irist I have put seven bulbs
in each 4-inch pot, with the top of the
bulbs slightly out of the' soil. When
should I bring them inside for forcing!
I have the British Queen, Louise and
Cajanus. W. A. — Wis.

The 4-inch pots are much too small
for flowering Spanish iris. If you use
6-inch pots or deep pans, placing ten
bulbs in each, you will have much bet-
ter results. Or, if you want them for
cutting, the best plan is to plant them
in flats five inches deep; a flat 12x24
inches will hold seventy-five to eighty
bulbs and bloom them well. This iris
can also be planted in benches or beds
in a cool house. You should cover

the bulbs entirely. Keep them in a
coldframe until after Christmas; then
place them in a night temperature of
50 degrees. They must not be sub-
jected to a high temperature, or they
will be a failure. C. W.

Unless you want to hold your plants
for early spring, it would be better
not to repot them now. Probably you
can sell them most profitably at
Thanksgiving and Christmas, and in
this case a repotting would be inad-

bound, with weak liquid manure once
a week. C. W.

STUNTED CABNATION PLANTS.

We have to ask you to help us out
when we are in trouble. We are send-
ing you two carnations that were
benched in the early part of June. We
are at a loss to know what to do with
them in this condition. We find that
shot-bugs are plentiful among the
plants. Some of the plants are in a
healthy condition, but none have
grown as large and as fast as we think
they should. They were pot plants.
The soil we used was brought from the
hills and mixed properly with cow ma-
nure. We shall thank you to reply at
once, so that we can get busy.

that, however. To get rid of the sow-
bugs, get some sugar and mix with it
enough Paris green to give it a lively
green color. Drop a pinch of this here
and there, along the edgeboard, etc.
You might also spray the plants with
arsenate of lead. This insect is not
difficult to get rid of; all that is re-
quired is a little persistence.

A. F. J. B.

If it were a month earlier, I would
advise you to tear out those carnation
plants and replant with new, field-
grown stock. They have not made
enough growth to produce a profitable
crop this season. Perhaps, in your
southern climate, it would be practical
to replant even at this late date. You
will know better than the writer about

WIBEWOBMS IN BENCH SOIL.

Will you kindly let me know what I
can do to kill wireworms in my car-
nation benches? The soil is new, but
some of the plants have already been
nearly ruined by the worms cnewing
the roots or burrowing in the stalks.
Last year about half of my plants were
ruined. This year I took particular pre-
cautions to get soil free from the
worms, but there are a few in it al-
ready. Cah I use carbon bisulphide,
and to what extent, without harming
the plants? I know of nothing else
that would serve as a remedy, unless
used so strong that it would injure the

plants. I believe there are two species
of "worms that are generally known as
wireworms — the wheat wireworm, or
Ag^riotes mancus, and the so-called com-
mon wireworm, or Melanotus communis.
It is the wheat wireworm, I think, that
is giving me trouble.

H. W,^.— N. H.

Any of the salty f ertiffiers, such as
kainit and nitrate of tA>da, are sup-
posed to be distasteful to these worms.
Ordinary salt is also recommended, and
in this instance, where carnations are
growing in the soil, could be used safe-
ly in moderate quantity. I would sug-
gest that you experiment a little, be-
fore you make an application to a whole
bench, in order to determine the effect
a certain quantity will have on the
plants. I would suggest a 2-inch pot-
ful to a row across a 5-foot bench, as

a starter. You might be able to in-
crease this without injury to the roots.
Sprinkle it evenly over the soil and
water in. Carbon bisulphide might be
found satisfactory, but would be much
more expensive and more troublesome
to apply. After you have determined
what TM the most practical remedy in
the greenhouse, you will be able to de-
cide how to treat your field.

THE ABCHIAS BOOTH.

The autumn fairs afford a fine chance
for florists to put their wares before
the public. That this is thoroughly
appreciated by the Archias Floral Co.,
of Sedalia, is shown by the accompany-
ing illustration, reproduced from a
photograph of its booth at the Missouri
state fair, in which it made eight

entries and won eight ribbons, four
blue and four red. The florists' exhib-
its at the fair this year were much bet-
ter than heretofore and a thorough
credit to the trade in connection with
the largest exhibits in the horticul-
tural and agricultural departments ever
known in the history of the fair.

OUTDOOR PLANTING.

Best Time to Plant.

The last half of October and first half
of November is the best season for out-
door bulb planting. Of course it may
be done even as late as Christmas, if
the ground is open, but, while this late
planted stock may flower, the quality
will be inferior, as bulbs fritter away
much of their strength if kept in boxes
and bags after the proper planting sea-
son has arrived.

The majority of Dutch bulbs prefer
wliat is best described as a medium
loam, although they can be grown in
the two opposite , extremes of soil, light
sandy and heavy clay, the last named
needing a liberal addition of sand or
gritty material to improve it. The ma-
nure used should be well decayed; new
manure is decidedly injurious. Old
mushroom manure or that from a spent
hotbed is excellent, and the soil should
be well pulverized before planting.

Depth to Plant.

Tulips need planting an average
depth of four inches, hyacinths four to
five inches and narcissi three to five
inches, according to the size of bulb.
The smaller bulbs, such as crocus, snow-
drops, scillas, chionodoxas, e r y t h r o-
niiims, fritillarias, etc., can be covered
two and one-half to three inches.
Where special bulb beds are planted it
is an advantage to have them crowned,
making the center several inches higher
than the sides. When finished off per-
fectly flat there is more danger of
water standing and bulbs of this char-
acter, while they do not mind the most
severe frost when mulched, are seriously
harmed if water stands over them.
Therefore, see that they have well
drained ground.

Tulips are far the most important of
bedding bulbs and their importance in-
creases steadily. The bulbs since the

European war are all of much better
quality than we previously received,
and now that the Hollanders have
started to send us bulbs more nearly
approximating in quality what they
have always sent to the belligerent
powers, we may reasonably hope that
they will continue so doing.

Some Gh)od Tulips.

While beds of mixed tulips are showy
and not displeasing, those containing
a single variety are much to be pre-
ferred. A few of the best tulips for
bedding, which are of reasonable cost,
are: White — Joost van Vondel, White
Swan. Yellow — Chrysolora, O p h i r
d'Or. Orange — Prince of Austria.
Pink or rose pink — Cottage Maid, Pink
Beauty, Queen of the Netherlands. Bed
and yellow — Keizerskroon. Eose —
Proserpine. Scarlet — Belle Alliance,
Scarlet Pottebakker, Vermilion Bril-
liant. Crimson — Couleur Cardinal. If
asked to select a half dozen of the best

bedders in a variety of colors I would
pick White Joost van Vondel, Keizers-
kroon, Pink Beauty, Chrysolora, Proser-
pine and either Couleur Cardinal or
Prince of Austria.

"What varieties go well together^"
is a query often asked. If more than
one variety is used in a bed it is im-
portant that colors harmonize. The fol-
lowing sorts blend well: White Joost
van Vondel and Chrysolora, White
Joost van Vondel and Ophir d'Or,
Prince of Austria and Vermilion Bril-
liant, Chrysolora and Couleur Cardinal,
Proserpine and White Pottebakker,
Pink Beauty and Chrysolora, Couleur
Cardinal and Ophir d'Or. Do not use
White Swan with other varieties, as it
is a late bloomer.

tage tulips when it comes to bedding.

important store carries twenty-five to
fifty or more varieties. They come a
little higher than the early tulips, but
make a far better showing, with their
taller and more stately stems, and,
furthermore, they are grand for cut-
ting, the bulbs also lasting better from
year to year tha " those of the ordinary
bedding tulips.

Here are a few splendid Darwins for
bedding or planting in clumps in the
borders: Clara Butt, salmon rose pink;
Gretchen, or Margaret, blush pink, car-
ries several flowers to a bulb, a grand
bedder; Mme. Krelage, deep rose;
Gustave Dore, bright rose; Wedding
Veil, pale lilac, shaded white, beauti-
ful; White Queen, or La Candeur, near-
ly pure white; Glow, scarlet vermilion;
Pride of Haarlem, crimson rose; Minis-
ter Tak, rosy scarlet; Kate Greenaway,
soft lilac; Dream, violet mauve; Eev.
Ewbank, lilac mauve. Of the extreme-
ly dark tulips La Tulipe Noire is far
the best and comes nearest to being a
really black color, being maroon black.
It is somewhat high-priced, but is a
magnificent variety. The flowers are
of great size and have wonderful last-
ing qualities.

There is no true yellow Darwin of
value, although several are of bronze
shades, but in the cottage section are
some splendid ones, such as Ingles-
combe Yellow, Gesneriana lutea, vitel-
lina, a sulphur yellow, and retroflexa.
A few other grand cottage varieties for
bedding or cutting are: Gesneriana
spathulata, Inglescombe Scarlet, Ingles-
combe Pink, Gesneriana rosea. Golden
Crown, Bouton d'Or, or Golden Beauty;
Picotee, or Maiden's Blush; Elegans
and La Merveille.

Hyacinths for Bedding.

Hyacinths are not grown to anything
like the extent of tulips and do not
seem to gain in favor. They flower
earlier than tulips and are, for that
reason, worthy of some attention. They
look heavy and cumbersome when com-
pared with tulips or narcissi, but a bed
in flower certainly makes a beautiful
picture. Plant the bulbs six inches
apart each way, covering four to five
inches deep.

A few good bedding sorts are: Ger-
trude, bright pink; Charles Dickens,
salmon pink; Eobert Steiger, deep
crimson; Norma, waxy rose; Mme. Van
der Hoop and L 'Innocence, pure white;
Yellow Hammer, pure yellow; Queen
of the Blues, light blue; King of the
Blues, indigo blue; Grand Lilas, porce-
lain blue. The foregoing are all sin-
gle varieties and are much more satis-
factory than doubles for bedding. The
same holds good of double tulips and
narcissi.

Narcissi in the Open.

For bedding or massing the large
trumpet narcissi are the most effective.
The medium and short trumpet sections
are better for planting in rockeries, for
mixed borders and for naturalizing in
grass. As a general rule the big trum-
pet sorts do not last from year to year
as well as the other sections.

The following are good for bedding:
Emperor, Empress, Golden Spur, Henry
Irving, Glory of Leiden and Trumpet
maximus. Sir Watkin, of the incom-
parabilis section, is a mammoth flower,
fine for bold effects, as is Barrii con-
spicuus and incomparabilis Beauty.

Narcissi, however, to be seen at their
best, should be planted in grass, pref-

CHABLES L. BROCK.

TAIQNG time by the forelock, President Patrick Welch has brought Charles
L. Brock into the limelight by placing on him the responsibility for the
S, A. F. Convention Garden of 1916. Mr. Brock is superintendent of parks at
Houston and the logical man to carry along the work begun by Theodore Wirth,
J. B. Shea and John McLaren, who have made the Convention Gardens what they
were. Mr. Brock has done splendid work in developing the Houston parks and
has a large force of men now employed in landscaping. He has an ideal site for
the garden and the early appointment at the hands of President Welch is to
afford him time for the development of its possibilities.

erably where they can have some shade
from trees. They are particularly effec-
tive along the borders of streams or
ponds, especially the poeticus section.
No formality should be tolerated when
naturalizing bulbs. Scatter them
broadcast with the hand and plant each
where it falls. A few reliable narcissi
for naturalizing, which will not run out,
are: Large trumpet — Barrii con-
spicuus, Leedsii Mrs. Langtry, incom-
parabilis Stella, incomparabilis Cyno-
sure, Leedsii Duchess of Brabant. Short
trumpet — Burbidgei, poeticus, poeticus
ornatus, poeticus poetarum. Poeticus
is undoubtedly the finest narcissus for
naturalizing. Next to it should come
Leedsii Mrs. Langtry. These are fine
near water, where poeticus grows with
especial vigor.

Miscellaneous Bulbs.

Other bulbs well adapted for natu-
ralizing purposes are: Crocus, all va-
rieties; snowdrops; Scilla Sibirica, S.
nutans and S. campanulata; chiono-

doxas, Fritillaria Meleagris, Puschkinia
Libanotica, Eranthis hyemalis, ery-
throniums, trilliums, which prefer a
somewhat moist, shady location, and
Allium Neapolitanum. No bulbs should
be planted in lawns, as their foliage
has no time to mature before the grass
requires cutting.

A few other bulbs adapted for out-
door culture, not mentioned in the fore-
going lists, are Spanish and English iris,
Ornithogalum Arabieum, crown im-
perials, or Fritillaria Imperialis, and
leucojums. The irises in particular are
quite hardy and extremely valuable for
cutting.

Don't Oover Too Soon.

Avoid placing any winter covering
over bulb beds until they are well
frozen. If placed over them while the
ground is soft, the tops will push up
into the mulch and get badly broken
when the coveiing is removed. Do not
pile on a heavy covering over any
Dutch bulbs, merely sufficient to pre-

vent the frost and sun from heaving
the ground. ^

Every country florist should help to
develop the bulb business. He can do
this in no better way than by planting
one or two attractive beds at his own
home or near his greenhouses. This
makes the best kind of advertisement.

Everyone is interested in the bulbous
flowers which bloom in the spring.
They are cheering after the long win-
ter and for this reason appeal with
particular force to us all. There is
room for an immense development in
this field and it is up to the trade to
do its part in encouraging and develop-
ing it.

and provide good drainage. When pot-
ting, it is always w^ to leave one inch
of the pots to be filled later with a top-
dressing of soil and manure in equal
parts. This top-dressing takes care of
the feeding roots at the base of the
stem, and these are important factors
in producing fine flowers. The pots can
be set under benches in the carnation
houses and left there until after the
holidays. Give a good watering at first,
and thereafter only enough to keep
the soil moigt. Coldframes, even when
well prot^9Q with sashes, are not ideal
places to start these lilies, excepting
probably in the most southerly sec-
tions, where freezing temperatures
rarely occur, L.

BOSES IN THE SOUTH.

By the time this appears in print,
firing will have become general. Not-
withstanding the cold and rainy spells
of the last few weeks, we hare entirely
escaped the mildew, and this we at-
tribute to having the doors open day
and night and the side glass all re-
moved. It is always soon enough to
replace the side glass when firing be-
gins. Thrips may be expected at any
time now, but a few applications of
some of the tobacco extracts generally
exterminate them, as well as any other
insect pests. The plants should be
making a good crop now, but if you
cut them hard, especially if the plants
were only young plants set out this
summer, you are damaging your chances
for a later time. It is much better to
cut the flowers with short stems and
conserve the energy of the plants.

To have a crop at the holidays, all
teas and hybrid teas must be pinched
about October 25 in the north and
about November 1 in the south. Ameri-
can Beauties will have to be pinched
about one week earlier. Let the pinch-
ing period begin a day or two be-
fore these dates and extend a day
or two after them and you will find
your crop in good shape about two
weeks before and after Christmas. To
get extra long stems on the Killarneys,
allow only one break to develop after
pinching out the bud. A good mulch
of cow manure will be needed to bring
on the crop in good shape. To pile
the manure in ridges between the rows
is better than spreading it evenly all
over. Watering must be done a little
more carefully now, although if the
plants are growing strongly, it is not so
easy to overwater them. Syringe early
and have the house dry by night.

Ventilation is more important now
than ever. Open up a little at a time
as the temperature rises in the morn-
ing and decrease gradually as it falls
late in the afternoon. It will be pos-
sible for quite a while to have the ven-
tilators open a little at night, even if
you are running steam. Never by any
chance close the ventilators on mild
nights and shut off steam to save coal.
It is all right to do without steam on
nights mild enough to allow the ven-
tilators to be raised a few inches, but
not otherwise. A night temperature of
56 degrees is right for most of the
roses. Beauties and Mrs. Russell need
60 degrees at night. The outside tem-
perature fluctuates greatly in the south.
There may be a night or two when it
is as high as 60 degrees and in twenty-
four hours it may be down to 20 degrees
or even lower. The effect of these fluc-

tuations is more felt by the plants than
if they varied from freezing to 25
degrees. While the lower temperatures
occur only on a few occasions, they
are apt to result in a decided check to
the plants, as many houses are not
piped sufficiently for these lower ex-
tremes.

On damp, cloudy days the tempera-
ture should be from 60 to 64 degrees,
with a little steam and a little top ven-
tilation. On bright, warm days it may
get up to 80 or 85 degrees, and still be
all right if the ventilators are opened
enough. Keep a moving, buoyant at-
mosphere in the houses at all times and
you will have little to fear from mil-
dew. It is always safe, however, to
paint one, or perhaps two, pipes in
each house every week with a sulphur
paint, as a preventive. L.

EVEBOBEENS FOB THE HOME.

One of the striking features of the
demand as recently noted by many
nurseries has been the increase in the
call for evergreens for use around the
city home. Indeed, so attractive has
this opportunity for profit looked that
some of the specialists in evergreens
have prepared large stocks of the most
adaptable varieties, even going so far
as to offer them in tubs and window
boxes as well as balled and baled,
while many retail florists are finding
evergreens a ready selling extra item
of stock. Of course the first use of
such hardy stock was around hotels
and apartment buildings in New York,
but it soon spread until now every
small town has its homes with winter
window boxes and tubs of evergreens,
as well as evergreens on the lawn. Flo-
rists easily make sales when they pro-
pose, instead of taking the window
boxes to storage for the winter, after
the geraniums and vincas are killed
by frost, that they be filled with hardy
stock of rich green that will last the
winter through.

CHICAGO CLUBS- HOLD
GET-TOGETHER DINNER

OT in years has there been
such a large attendance at
any function of the Chi-
cago Florists' Club as on
the occasion of the amal-
gamation banquet of the
club and the Cook County
Florists' Association, at Hotel La Salle,
October 7. A count discovered 108
present, whereupon the officers of the
club agreed that there is nothing like
the lure of a banquet and a good pro-
gram for bringing out the stay-at-
homes. The menu was sufficiently sat-
isfying in itself, but when accom-
panied by a rapid fire of conversation
and good-natured badinage, by way of
sauce, it was highly delectable. Nor
was the music forgotten, for piano and
song entertained whosoever would lis-
ten.

Mr. Henderson Presides.

After the coffee, when the cigars
were well lighted, H. N. Bruns, chair-
man of the banquet committee, intro-
duced Alex. Henderson, the toastmas-
ter of the evening. It has seldom been
the club's good fortune to have one so
well adapted to the duties of that of-
fice as Mr. Henderson. There was al-
ways the intimate, personal touch so
necessary in introducing a speaker.

First on the list of speakers was W. J.
Keimel, president of the club. He
spoke on the benefits of the florists'
club to the trade: Personal contact,
cooperation, the broadening effects of
conversing with others, not only in the
same branch of the trade, but in all
its branches; the opportunities the club
affords the retailer of bringing his
wares to the attention of the general

benefit of the commissionman and the
grower.

The Horticultural Society was the
subject assigned to W. N. Rudd, who
spoke briefly of the altruistic aims of
that organization and of its generous
conduct in the past in all activities
promotive of the love of flowers and
the advancement of the florists' trade.
Mr. Rudd also expressed for all the
general satisfaction felt on this occa-
sion of reunion of forces.

All of those present had looked for-
ward to the pleasure of hearing E. G.
Hill, of Richmond, Ind., discourse on
the roses of today as compared with
those of the past. To the keen disap-
pointment of all, it was learned that
Mr. Hill had not yet returned from Cal-
ifornia. In his stead, Richard Salm
made a few well chosen remarks on
the Mrs. Charles Russell rose.

Wants AfUlation.

August Poehlmann was scheduled to
speak on the Society of American Flo-
rists, but some unknown circumstance
prevented his reaching the banquet
hall. That he started in his automobile
is an established fact, as Adolph Poehl-
mann testified. Toastmaster Hender-
son, always equal to the occasion, took
this opportunity to remind those pres-
ent that when the club can show 100
members of the S. A. F. on its roll it
will be entitled to representation on
the board of directors of the national
organization. Then, without warning,
he called on P. J. Foley. He, however,
is never to be taken so unaware that
he cannot acquit himself with credit.

Oddly enough, as he himself main-
tained, Leonard Vaughan was called
on to regale the club with reminiscences
of the trade. He divided his reminis-
cences into two classes: Things we
want to forget, and things others want
us to forget. By request, as he said, he
confined himself to the first class.

If brevity is the soul of wit, A. T.
Pyfer is indeed spiritual. His remarks
on the carnation were of undoubted
^;ruth, but his audience would gladly
have heard from him at greater length.

Flower Shows.

The superintendent of the fall flower
show, Guy W. French, spoke earnestly
of the support all florists should give to
those who, giving their own time and
energy, are putting their shoulders to
the wheel to make this show the great-
est in the history of the Chicago trade.
He also expressed his keen appreciation
of the confidence reposed in him by his
fellow members.

The toastmaster referred to the na-
tional flower show to be held in Phil-
adelphia and in this connection called
attention to the fact that when the
Philadelphians wanted a manager for
their show they turned their eyes
toward Chicago and said, "Let George
do it." Everyone knows George As-
mus. When you think of flower shows
you think of him. And the national
flower, show was the topic of his talk.
He told in an interesting way of the
work being done and of the wonderful
prize list — a list which totals $20,000
in value. Then he dwelt a few min-
utes on the coming Chicago show.

A guest of the evening was C. C.
Pollworth, of Milwaukee. He slipped

into the room quietly and found a place
back of the toastmaster, but he did not
escape the attention of that gentleman,
who immediately introduced him as a
speakei- of the evening. Mr. Pollworth
rose to deny this charge, and while
doing so proved its truth by talking
most entertainingly on the activities of
the trade and saying many complimen-
tary things about the Chicago club.

The Suburban Member.

To travel a thousand miles to attend
a banquet is a most unusual thing. Yet
that distinction belongs to H. E. Phil-
pott, of Winnipeg. He spoke briefly
of Canadians, of conditions in Carada,
and of thp pleasure he experienced in
meeting with old friends.

A sketch of the present activities of
the Chrysanthemum Society of America
was given by its secretary, C. W. John-
son. Some interesting features of the
coming Cleveland show also were men-
tioned by him.

It was most fitting that the topic
"How Flower Shows Help Business"
should be assigned to N. P. Miller, for
he has perhaps been as closely identified
with those of the past as any man in
the trade. After contrasting the num-
ber of florists in Chicago in the ante-
show days with the number since the
advent of the autumn exhibition, he
laid emphasis on the show as an adver-
tising medium. "What," said he,
"made possible the popularity of the
Mrs. Hadley, the Ophelia, the Sunburst,
the Mrs. Aaron Ward and the Mrs.
Charles Russell rose? The flower show!
For without the agency of the flower
show you cannot reach the public and

create flower lovers that become flower
buyers. ' '

How to Get Publicity.

In introducing the newly chosen di-
rector of press publicity for the fall
flower show, the toastmaster said many
complimentary things as to the energy
and force of that gentleman. These ex-
pressions seemed a bit strong at the
moment, but when Robert R. Brenton
rose to address the club, and his sharp,
dynamic utterance searched out every
corner of the room, they seemed quite
mild. In terse, punchy sentences he
gave those present some facts to jot
down on the tablets of their memories.
"Publicity," he said, "is the easiest
thing in the world to get, if you do your
part. You want publicity — the papers
want news. It's up to you to create
news. To do this you must do some-
thing that was never done before. The
flower show next month is your oppor-
tunity. ' '

The boutonnieres were Mrs. Charles
Russell roses from the greenhouses of
French & Salm, Union Grove, Wis.
Among the table decorations were vases
of Sunburst, Milady, Ophelia and Mrs.
Russell roses, tritoma and delphinium.
The. latter were from Vaughan's Green-
houses, Western Springs.

The Business Session.

The business session preceding the
banquet was brief, yet into it was
crowded much work of importance.
Secretary French reported that he had
collected during the last month more
than $300. Applications for member-
ship were received from Peter W. Ho-
f elder, 3720 Ward street; Clarence B.
Lemer, 3656 Ogden avenue, both of
Chicago, and F. J- Littlef ord. Downers
Grove, 111. The following were elected

to membership: Otto Amling, Ernst C.
Amling and Herbert A. Amling, all of
Maywood; August A. Frega, Bellewood,
111., and John A. Evans, Richmond,
Ind. The following were reinstated:
A. C. Spencer, H. C. Wullbrandt, E. C.
Pruner, Henry Wehrmann, E. F. Win-
terson, Jr., and Charles Swanson, all of
Chicago, and Fritz Bahr, of Highland
Park.

A communication from the Cleveland
Florists' Club, inviting the Chicago
club to send a bowling team to its fall
show, was referred to the sports com-
mittee. A communication was re-
ceived from John Young acknowledg-
ing his appreciation of the distinction
conferred upon him in electing him an
honorary member of the club.

Even under the pressure of short
time, opportunity was made to discuss
the advisability of entering a bowling
team in the Chicago Mercantile League.
The question was decided aflirmatively
by vote and the details referred to the
committee on sports.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Samuel Murray, of Kansas City, Mo.,
in surveying the effect of his arrange-
ment of cibotium, cocos, Adiantum
Gloriosa and beautifully colored pineap-
ples, remarked that the display window
was the eye of the store and everything
else should be in harmony, bespeaking
the character of the establishment. An
enthusiastic patron declared that Mr.
Murray was an admirer of the Bard of
Avon, for the walls of the store were
an exact reproduction of the interior of
Anne Hathaway 's cottage. The whole
arrangement was splendid; the two pil-
lars ornamenting the icebox, the ascent
into the sanctum, and, last but not

least, the descent into the basement,
which underlies the vault of a bank
next door. The merry jingle of golden
coin can be heard when all is quiet,
but that is not often, for business has
been unusually brisk. I was just in
time to see Miss Hayden putting the
finishing touches on some fine funeral
pieces. A basket of Beauties and a
piece composed of white delphiniums
and white chrysanthemums were par-
ticularly pleasing to the eye. The
crowning piece was a full-sized casket
cover, with the center arranged as a
mound and composed of Russells, cat-
tleyas, valley and ferns. The price to
be charged was given me in a whisper,
for only thus could it be imparted. A
trip to the greenhouses disclosed a
splendid lot of begonias, among them
the new variety, Mrs, J. A. Peterson,
in a condition that would delight the
Wizard 6f Westwood. Poinsettias and
peppers were numerous. Nothing but
plants are grown and Colonel Shays has
ample scope to show his skill in this di-
rection. Arthur Newell has no houses,
but he keeps an eye on the market for
the best material, with which his splen-
did store is well supplied. Messrs.
Newell and Murray are joint owners
of a ranch in the Texas Pan Handle,
but do not wish to be classed as Texan
panhandlers.

Robert S. Brown, of Kansas City,
says he could have used 5,000 Rex be-
gonias if they had been available. He
hopes some enterprising craftsman will
grow a good, healthy stock for next
year. Mr. Brown has occupied the
same spot for many years and intends,
eventually, but not now, to retire to
his farm.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co., of Kansas
City, is making a fine display of a group
of crimson cockscomb, surrounded by
greens.

The George M. Kellogg Co., of Kan-
sas City, is receiving some excellent
stock from Pleasant Hill. Store Man-
ager Parker says business is good.

Leon Foster, manager for Furrow &
Co., Oklahoma City, invited S. S. But-
terfield and myself to the weekly lunch-
eon of the advertising men connected
with the leading stores of the city.
The informal talk that followed was in-
teresting and impressed me more than
ever "with the wisdom of advertising
one's goods in the trade journals. Mr.
Butterfield gave a stirring talk on be-
half of the Civic Improvement Associa-
tion.

C. P. Mueller, of Wichita, Kan., has
executed some pretty effects in the car-
pet bedding in the interior of the Ex-
position building. The most elaborate
setting is a wheat field, showing the de-
velopment of wheat from the stubble
to the finished product. Standing at
either end is an exact reproduction of
a Dutch windmill. Many plants and
cut flowers adorn the various exhibits,
but wheat is everywhere; even the
electric poles on the streets are cov-
ered. The wheat was woven by the
Mueller staff before it was placed on
the poles and stores.

The Hubbard Seed Store, of Topeka,
Kan., secured six first premiums at the
state fair. Competition was spirited.
Arlo Hubbard, recently with W. W.
Barnard Co., has charge of the green-
houses and is sending in some well
grown stock. A shortage of French
bulbs is reported, several consignments
having gone down with the steamer
Arabic. W. M.

NEW YOEK.

The Market

The wholesale cut flower market has
turned over a new leaf. Last week
ended with a creditable record. It has
been many a week since the outlook
was so encouraging.

Some of the philosophers with years
of experience say, "Wait a week or
two, when the mum tide is high, and
see the prices fall." One retailer said
the quotations Saturday made him
"feel like Christmas." Prices were
better all along the line. Everything,
even orchids, felt the uplift. Whether
the advance has come to stay, is the
problem everyone would like to solve.
Perhaps the light shipments, and the
natural rise in values when society
comes to town for its winter season,
may account for the improvement — for
the banquet celebrations have begun,
the President and his fiancee have been
here, the October weddings are many
and decorations liberal.

American Beauties are up to 30 cents
again, and all roses are advancing, es-
pecially the novelties. Some of these
are now $10 per hundred. For the rest
a top of 8 cents was general last week.
All grades were higher, except the
smallest and short-stemmed roses. The
No. 2's were worth $3 per hundred at
the close of the week. Some grand
stock of Sunburst, Hadley, Mock,
Ophelia, Key and Eussell found places
in the gaily decorated windows of Fifth
avenue and of Broadway.

Carnations, except the small ones and
short-stems, still are below require-
ments, only a few being up to stand-
ard. The best advanced to 3 cents
and 4 cents as the week closed. The
market was almost bare of everything
October 9.

Orchids have risen to 35 cents for
the best. A few selects touched 40
cents. The supply is decreasing and it
will be some time before they fall to
the ridiculous quotations of September.

There are no more asters; gladioli
are done and dahlias nearly so. The
few good dahlias still arriving sell at
$3 per hundred. It has been a good
year for the dahlia.

Easter lilies continue scarce and
firm at from 6 cents to 8 cents. An
occasional sale is made at 10 cents.
Valley was high all last week, 4 cents
being easily obtainable. Even the short
stock sold at $2 per hundred. A scarcity
this winter seems assured and prices
seem sure to go even higher than those
now prevailing.

A dozen choice varieties of the
chrysanthemum are bidding for public
recognition, and a veritable flood is ex-
pected this week and next week.

The market has plenty of all other
flowers of the season. No frosts have
yet visited the immediate vicinity of
New York. The rainy season seems to
be over and Indian summer is still to
come.

Selected dahlias are bringing excel-
lent prices this week, especially dur-
ing the general shortage of everything
excepting chrysanthemums.

Enormous sales of boxwood have
been ' made lately and large purchases
are made weekly at the auctions.
Palms and ferns are in great demand.
Retailers are stocking up for the
winter.

The October weddings are far more
numerous than was anticipated. Near-

ly every retailer of reputation has
booked his share of them. Society is
returning to the city rapidly. There
will be no travel to Europe until the
war is over. Hence it will be a gay
season in New York, and the florists
expect the most prosperous winter they
have known.

Club Meeting.

The usual meeting of the Florists'
Club was held October 11 and the aver-
age attendance of over 100 was main-
tained. The exhibits were of a high
standard, the turkey collation the best
of the year.

Patrick O'Mara read resolutions on
the death of Samuel Thome.

F. E. Pierson, chairman of the joint
show committees of the club and the
Horticultural Society, made an interest-
ing report. A. L. Miller moved the ap-
pointment of a committee on special
prizes, and President Bunyard named F.
L. Atkins, C. H. Totty, Max Schling, G.
E. M. Stumpp, Wm. Duckham, L. C. W.
Tuthill, R. J. Irwin, Julius Roehrs, E. C.
Vick, Philip Kessler and F. H. Traendly.

Chairman Henshaw, of the Cleveland
show transportation committee, recom-
mended use of the New York Central,
leaving New York at 5 p. m. and arriv-
ing at Cleveland 7 a. m. If a sufficient
number attend, special rates and Pull-
man are available. A bowling team,
led by Joseph Fenrich, will go.

A. S. Baldwin, of Madison, was elected
to membership, and E. McCarthy was
proposed. Messrs. Dinda, Baldwin,
Gellhar and Sheepers were introduced
and made brief addresses, pledging loy-
alty.

W. A. Manda received special men-
tion for a fine assortment of show and
cactus dahlias, which were highly com-
mended.

Charles H. Totty showed his immense
yellow sport of Chrysanthemum Mrs. G.

Drabble, which the committee judged
worthy of further consideration. Mr.
Totty also staged a fine assortment of
mums and dahlias, for which he received
a vote of thanks.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., staged a fine as-
sortment of mums, which received
thanks and a cultural certificate.

P. W. Popp staged an assortment of
over fifty dahlias, the exhibit being
highly commended.

For Frank Dinda, of Farmingdale,
Guttman & Raynor showed a large vase
of that grower's new pink chrysanthe-
mum, which scored eighty-five points.
They also staged Charles Weber 's Laura
Weber, Victory from Rowehl & Granz
and their white sport from Prosperity,
the committee awarding these the
thanks of the club.

Mrs. Stout, of Short Hills, N. J., who
won high honors at the recent dahlia
show with her Sunshine, again exhibited
it and wag highly commended.

Various Notes.

R. Vincent, Jr., president of the
American Dahlia Society, announces
that a meeting of this organization
will be held in New York, November 6.

The MacNifif Horticultural Co. has
opened a retail store at 182 Faxton
street. The company has had large ad-
vertisements in the Sunday papers, fea-
turing bulbs of all kinds.

B. Willig, of Poughkeepsie, a skill-
ful grower of mums and carnations,
was a recent visitor. He reports
George Saltford, formerly a wholesale
florist of West Twenty-eighth street,
as now superintendent of parks in
Poughkeepsie.

The Onaway Florist was reopened at
903 Seventh avenue, October 11, with
George C. Sims again manager.

West Hoboken, is again back in the
service of C. C. Trepel. He has the
management of the retail branch at
One Hundred and Seventh street and
Broadway.

The conservatory of Mr. Trepel 's
store at Eighty-ninth street and Broad-
way is now open. This is one of the
show places of upper Broadway and
reflects much credit on, the builders, S.
Jacobs & Sons, of Brooklyn.

Mr. Dean, head salesman for Charles
Millang, has been seriously ill with
intestinal inflammation. He is a son
of James Dean, former president of the
S. A. F.

Biedel & Meyer, Inc., opened their
new store, at 49 West Twenty-eighth
street, October 11. The usual floral
and gold-plated horseshoes were in evi-
dence, and congratulations were many.

Badgley & Bishop, Inc., have suc-
ceeded Badgley, Riedel & Meyer. The
company has a iiew auto, which Mr.
Badgley says is the first auto delivery
car used in the wholesale cut flower
business in New York.

Joseph Trepel has one of the hand-
somest stores in Brooklyn, at his head-
quarters on Lewis avenue and Han-
cock street.

The New York Florists' Supply Co.
is already quite at home in its large
new store, at 103 West Twenty-eighth
sti-eet. Five rooms are devoted to the
cold storage department.

Young & Nugent have been busy
with funeral work. One large delivery
coach last week carried over a dozen
wreaths and designs, with orchids and
roses, to fill one family order.

A. Kottmiller's store has been en-
tirely made over and is now one of the
neatest and prettiest on Madison ave-
nue. His prize-winning conceptions
at the dahlia show were a practical ad-
vertisement that will bear fruit.

A. T. Bunyard is back from his suc-
cessful summer season at Newport,
R. I.

Gunther Bros, have done their share
again this year in popularizing the
dahlia. John Gunther, who is a base-
ball fan, journeyed to Philadelphia
last week to root for the Boston Red
Sox.

Charles Millang is still bringing to
the market his own growing of gladioli.

There is a daily novelty window at
William Kessler's, the handiwork of
Mr. Bradshaw. It was stated er-
roneously in The Review last week
that William Kessler had been with
his brother, Louis, on a trip in the
west.

A. Herrmann, of 404 East Thirty-
fourth street, says business is making
its usual advance for the year. For-
eign importations are greatly restrict-
ed, but he finds that the demand for
local stock is steady and increasing.
Mr. Herrmann is represented on the
road by his son, who has just returned
from a southern trip.

The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Rose Society held a meeting Octo-
ber 11, at the offices of Traendly &
Schenck, 436 Sixth avenue.

Samuel A. Woodrow is out of town,
superintending the landscape contracts
on several large estates.

C. H. Totty's wonderful mums are
arriving in the New York market. As
usual, they top the metropolitan dis-
play.

Two new retail flower stores were
opened last week on Madison avenue.
The stores, respectively, are those of

H. H. Burns, at Fifty-second street,
and A. M. Rigo, at Sixty-eighth street,
both excellent locations.

The bowling experts of the New York
Florists' Club will open the season at
Thumm's alleys November 1. John
Miesem and John Donaldson were in
the city last week from Elmhurst,
N. Y., attending the preliminaries.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Early mums are coming in now in
much better quantity. Chrysolora is
arriving and it is such an easy doer that
everybody grows it. Roses are improv-
ing, as are carnations. Valley and
lilies remain scarce.

Show Publicity and Plans.

Among the many novel advertising
plans being carried out by the publicity
committee of the Cleveland flower
show is the use of the popular poster
stamps. These small stickers are repro-
ductions in miniature of the post cards
used by the show. It is the commit-
tee's aim to get the widest circulation
possible for these stamps and a quan-
tity will be sent to anyone, anywhere
in the United States, upon request. The
local growers and dealers connected
with the show and all exhibitors will
be provided with them for use upon
their business correspondence between
this time and the date of the show.

Permission has been granted the
show committee to place bay trees
along Euclid avenue, from Public square
to the Coliseum entrance, during the
exposition. Each bay tree will sup-
port a small card directing the observer
to the show. The publicity committee
expects to make this the most attrac-
tive and novel scheme of street adver-
tising that has ever been used in the
city.

The entertainment committee is busy
with the plans for the varied entertain-
ments and arrangement of the business
and semi-social program during show
days. This committee is headed by
G. W. Smith, and his aids are C. J.
Graham, George Jacques, S. N. Pente-
cost and F. C. Witthuhn. The rooms of
the Cleveland Florists' Club, Hollenden
hotel, will be the meeting place of the
various organizations as well as the
scene of many social events.

Provisions will be made for the meet-
ings of the Chrysanthemum Society of
America, which has its annual exhibi-
tion and convention in conjunction
with the show; for the fall exhibition
and meeting of the American Rose
Society, and other important events.
The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society will have a
place on the program, as will the Flo-
rists' Telegraph Delivery Association,
which comes for an adjourned meeting,
and the adjourned meeting of the Gla-
diolus Society of Ohio.

Various Notes.

The Jones-Russell Co. opened its
branch store, at Euclid avenue and the
Taylor Arcade, October 9. It occupies
half of the 'room with a confectioner.
Tasteful corsages filled the window, and
the icebox and counter were well sup-
plied with choice cut stock, crotons,
cyclamens, begonias, ferns, etc. The
store is in charge of H. G. Evans, for-
merly of Holm & Olson, Inc., Minne-
apolis.

T. J. Kegg & Co. opened their new
store at Madison square, Seventy-ninth
street and Eliclid avenu", October 9.

Frank Ritzenthaler is rapidly im-
proving. He is able to sit up now and
begins to talk of bowling in the flower
show tournament. Let us hope he does.

Charles Balluff, formerly of Chicago,
Springfield, 111., and Indianapolis, is
now with C. M. Wagner, 1327 Euclid
avenue.

Headed by Frank R. Williams, of the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co., and George
W. Smith, of the Cleveland Florists'
Exchange, about forty wholesalers, store
men and growers met at the Hollenden
hotel, October 12, to attend a farewell
dinner given to L. F. Darnell, who, for
twenty-seven years, has been treasurer
and general manager of the J. M. Gas-
ser Co. Songs were sung, speeches
made and a general good time was en-
joyed by all. Mr. Darnell leaves in a
few days for a trip to his old home in
Maryland.

Visitors this week were Charles
Loechner, New York; Edwin J. Fan-
court, Philadelphia; W. E. Cook, of the
Stumpp & Walter Co., New York.

Bowling.

The preliminary tournament of the
Cleveland Florists' Club, to decide the
make-up of the team to represent Cleve-
land in the national bowling tourna-
ment, which will be rolled during the
week of the flower show, came to an end
October 11, with the following results:

During the last week the tempera-
ture several times nearly reached the
freezing point. Many of the carna-
tion growers are cutting fine stock for
this time of year. The early mums
are at their height, with Chrysolora all
aglow with big, bursting buds.

Rudolph Nagel is erecting two fine
new houses. His mums are among
the best seen so far.

Fred Ritchy is erecting two houses,
each 24x117.

Charles M. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa.,
is finishing a new house, 50x400, which
is already planted to peas.

Peter Brown's establishment, where
geranium cuttings and pansy plants
are the specialties, is in the pink of
condition.

Mr. and Mrs. Ira H. Landis, of Para-
dise, are receiving the congratulations
of their many friends. It's a boy.

A number of (Lancaster county flo-
rists motored to the York county fair
last week. The exhibits of H. S.
Brandt, the Schaeffers and August F.
Plitt were especially noteworthy.
Harry A. Schroyer again judged the
floricultural classes, in his usual able
manner.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia,

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business last week was about the
same as the preceding week, except
for a decrease in funeral work and
some increase in counter trade. One
balanced the other. A heavy frost last
week put a finish to all outdoor stock,
which will make a big difference in
the prices of cut flowers from the
greenhouses, if the chrysanthemums
do not come in faster than is expected.
There were plenty of all kinds of cut
flowers last week and they cleaned up
rather fast. All cut flowers now ar-
rive in much better shape, especially
as regards the firmness of the flowers
and the length of stems.

Prom all reports the indications are
that business for the coming winter is
going to surpass any previous year.

A visit to the different growers will
show a big increase in the growing of
potted plants, cyclamens and begonias
being the principal stock grown.

Across the state line business is good.
A much larger counter trade has been
noticed, with about the usual amount
of funeral work. Kansas and Mis-
souri nurserymen also report a good
fall business and are pleased with the
way orders have started to come in.

Various Notes.

The Forest Hill Greenhouse is send-
ing in some good white and yellow
mums. The company expects to build
more houses in the near future.

Adolph D. Mohr has a fine lot of pot
plants for Christmas and also a nice
lot of young table ferns.

The American Eoyal Livestock and
Horse Show was well attended by peo-
ple carrying large mums.

E. S. Brown & Son report a good
shipping business. They are now cut-
ting yellow and white mums and their
carnations have commenced to come in
more strongly.

The Wm. L. Rock Flower Co. had a
good run on funeral work last week.
They are cutting plenty of good car-
nations and some extra good mums.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. is showing some nice cyclamen
plants in bloom. They have devoted
more space this year to pot plants
than in any previous year. Hayes
Riker, foreman, and Thomas Martin,
from the greenhouses, were in the city
last week.

Miss J. F. Murray reports business
good. She made a blanket of 750
Ophelia roses last week.

Walter R. Heite has more space this
fall devoted to sweet peas than ever
before. His mums are good and he is
cutting a lot of yellow at present.

Henry Kusik is away on a three
weeks' trip to Billings, Mont.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that the de-
mand for stock is heavy, especially
from out-of-town customers. It is
hard at times to fill some of the or-

DENVEB.

The Market.

Business is improving steadily, as a
heavy frost has killed all outdoor flow-
ers. Carnations are good and there are
just about enough of them to supply
the demand. Rosea are arriving in
large quantities and are exceptionally
fine. Some good cattleyas are to be
had and they find a ready sale. Snap-
dragons, lilies, chrysanthemums and
valley are also offered. Good pot plants
are to be had, including cyclamens,
primulas, and such begonias as Lor-
raine, Cincinnati, Chatelaine, B. lumi-
nosa and Prima Donna.

Various Notes.

Frank Fraser, for several years with
the Alpha Floral Co., has bought the
Arapahoe Flower Shop.

The Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop has
added an Overland delivery car to its
service.

The Mauff Floral Co. has just fin-
ished glazing the new houses at the
Logan avenue place.

Herbert Claussen, formerly with the
Park Floral Co., expects to open an up-
to-date flower stand in the new Union
station as soon as it is completed.

The Park Floral Co. had the deco-
rations for a large dinner party given
by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at the
Country Club. The decorations were
carried out with yellow chrysanthe-
mums and autumn foliage. The favors
for the ladies consisted of corsages of
orchids and valley.

The Speth Floral Co. has moved into
the new store at 1201 East Colfax ave-
nue, just three doors west of the old
location. The new store is highly at-
tractive and is one of the finest in
Denver. R. S.

Des Moines, la. — C. W. Crum is no
longer associated with TJ. L. Crawford.
Mr. Crum was for some years with
various Chicago retailers and came here
to join the forces of the Iowa Seed Co.,
going with Mr. Crawford when that
gentleman opened his new store in the
Shops building.

New York, N. Y.— The freighter from
Marseilles that arrived October 5
brought 120 cases of immortelles, con-
signed as follows: McCallum Co.,
forty; Russin & Hanfling, fifty; Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., thirty; Bernard,
Judae & Co., fifty; Downing & Co.,
forty-six.

Batavia, N. Y.— Mrs. Adelaide Bey
Noack, wife of Gustav Noack, was
buried October 6. She died two days
earlier at her home, 3 Richmond ave-
nue, where she had been suffering from
an attack of blood poisoning which be-
gan eight months ago. She was born
at Rochester, N. Y., in 1880, and mar-
ried Mr, Noack in June, 1911. She
was a member of the Presbyterian
church and of the Eastern Star. She
is survived by her husband, by her son,
Norman, and her daughter, Elsa, and
by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Bey, of Rochester, and a brother,
Leonard Bey, Jr.

Qeorge G. Goldbach.

George G. Goldbach, of Lancaster,
Pa., died at St. Joseph 's hospital, Octo-
ber 4. Death was due to blood poison-
ing, which was due to picking a pimple.

The funeral was held October 8. The
Lancaster county florists gathered at his
home and later attended the services at
St. Anthony's church.

Mr. Goldbach first worked at the
trade with A. D. Rohrer & Bro., where
he spent a number of years. Later,
with his brother Herman, he conducted
a retail and market business. A few
years later the partnership was dis-
solved and the deceased erected an ex-
tensive range of greenhouses. He pur-
chased a store on North Duke street,
where he disposed of most of his flow-
ers. He was an enthusiastic member
of the Lancaster County Florists' Club.

Mr. Goldbach was born in Lancaster,
being a son of Lawrence Goldbach, who
survives. His mother is dead. Mr.
Goldbach is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Ida Ransing, and three chil-
dren, Agnes, Jervis and Gertrude. He
was a brother of Mrs. Oscar Hilbert,
Herman, Amelia, Mary, Frank and
Elizabeth Goldbach, of Lancaster, and
Charles Goldbach, of Philadelphia. Mr.
Goldbach was a member of St. An-
thony's church, the Knights of Colum-
bus, Pennsylvania Catholic Beneficial
Society, the local lodge of Moose, Cone-
stoga Council, No. 463, Royal Arcanum,
the local aerie of Eagles and the Lan-
caster Florists' Association.

Oglesby Paul.

Oglesby Paul, landscape gardener of
Fairmount park, Philadelphia, died sud-
denly while on a visit to friends at Bos-
ton, Wednesday, October 6. The fu-
neral took place from his home at Villa
Nova, Pa., October 9. His wife sur-
vives him.

These are the facts — the cold, sad
facts. A life full of energy and enter-
prise ended before reaching its prime.
A man who has done much for horticul-
ture has gone.

Mr. Paul was a landscape gardener
of ability. He layed out and improved
many fine places of Philadelphia and
elsewhere. His work at Fairmount park
was marked by a determined effort to
turn the waste spaces to account. The
parterre, or sunken garden, was only
planted during the summers before his
time. When Mr. Paul assumed com-
mand the garden was planted each fall
with tulips and narcissi, so that there
was always a crop in the ground. The
great lecture room in Horticultural hall,
used at rare intervals, was turned into
a cactus house. The guard room and
front room in the hall were removed
to give more greenhouse room. The
echeveria-alternanthera dates that had
ornamented the east end bank of the
hall for twenty years or more were re-
placed by Scotch firs of dwarf habit.
The new type of cannas were intro-
duced. These are a few of the improve-
ments made by Mr. Paul. They suffice
to show that his work was fully abreast
of the times. Phil.

Oshkosh, Wis. — In a recent automo-
bile accident, Joseph A. Oles, 256
Spruce street, sustained severe bruises
of his neck and shoulders.

Talk about sticking close to your
work: Violet Rose is a lady florist in
the City of Brotherly Love.

The flood of chrysanthemums is rising
day by day, but thus far the trade chan-
nels have been ample to take care of
them. There will be more mums to mar-
ket in the next six weeks than ever before.

This should be a fine season, if quan-
tity of stock prepared for sale means
anything. Practically everyone has spent
a busy summer getting ready for autumn
and the first frost tnda florists sis a class
better prepared than ever before to put
good stock on the market in quantity.

Not only are the azaleas coming, but
it can be said that a part of them
actually have arrived. The Noordam,
which sailed from Rotterdam September
18 and reached New York October 4,
settled the question. It brought 945
cases of plants, most of which were
azaleas.

It is common to ask for a remittance
with order, and frequently someone ad-
monishes buyers not to delay, but a re-
cent ad told the whole story in "Dash,
Please. ' ' It was a case where the appre-
ciative proofreader did not have the heart
to interfere with the work of an inspired
compositor.

There is an old saying, "Busy as
Bees," and that Liverpool concern of
the name must be living up to the repu-
tation, for twice it has sent The Re-
view advertising orders across the At-
lantic by wireless. The Review re-
ceives frequent orders by cable, but
Bees is the first advertiser to make
regular use of marconigrams.

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.
Plummer, F. W., Kewanee, 111.

TWO YEARS.
Robbel, A. W., Marine City, Mich.
Meader, H. E., Dover, N. H.
Murpbey's Sons, R. Hr, Urbana, 0.
Karllck, John, Thongs, Wash.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

BUSINESS INCREASES.

The increase in business in the last
week has been so great as to justify
special comment and it is noteworthy
also for the fact that it has been gen-
eral over the principal cut-flower-con-
suming section of the United States.
First frosts and general weather con-
ditions have operated to reduce sup-
plies on nearly all markets and the in-
crease in demand has been such as to
give the trade increased confidence in
the fundamentally sound condition of
the business. The result, for the mo-
ment, has been a cut flower market in
many cities too tight for the best re-
sults. What is wanted is a supply of
good stock large enough to fill all orders
at fair prices.

WHAT THEY SAY.

The worthiness of a trade paper as an
advertising medium is invariably deter-
mined by the esteem in which it is held
by its readers. It is that ironclad gauge
that has won for The Review special
distinction. The following letters are
just two of the testimonials that ar-
rived in the course of a day's business.
If all the bouquets were printed, this
entire page could be filled every little
while :

I have taken The Review for the last Ave
years and hope to receive Its weekly visits for
the next twenty-five years. Enclosed find $2 to
rover two years' subscription. — H. E. Meader,
Dover, N. H., October 4, 1915.

I happened to see a copy of The Review some
time ago. There was more information in that
one copy than in a book I paid $1.00 for. That
is why I am anxious to get In my subscription.
—Sherman L. White, GalllpoUs, O., October 5,
1915.

PROSPERITY IN BIG CROPS.

The florists of the United States
never have had a bad year when farm
crops were good.

Consequently the government crop re-
port of October 7 may be taken as a
sort of blanket insurance policy for the
trade — only it must never be forgotten
that "the Lord helps him who helps
himself." Good business seldom comes
to a sloth.

The grain crops for 1915 are even

better than last year, when, it will be

remembered, they were the means that

gave middle-western florists a normal

year's business while trade in the other

parts of the country was dull. Here

are the latest government figures:

Final Esti-

Crop Oct. 1,1915 mate,1914.

Corn 3,030,000,000 2,673,000,000

Wheat 1,000,000,000 871,000,000

Oats 1,520,000,000 1,141,000,000

Barley 2.37,000,000 104,953,000

Potatoes 368.000,000 405.921,000

Apples 71,600,000 84,400,000

Prices are not now quite so high as

a year ago, but no doubt this is better
for florists as a body.

Another government report that
spells prosperity for florists has to do
with exports, which in part are grains,
but mostly manufactured articles — war
supplies. The exports are the greatest
in the history of the United States,
while imports are light, giving us now
*he greatest balance of trade in our
favor ever known.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Review would like to publish a
weekly news-letter from each city of
importance in the trade. There are
several in which the number of people
engaged in the business, and their ac-
tivities, afford interesting matter, that
now goes unchronicled. Among them
are:

Utiea, N. Y.

Louisville, Ky.

St. Paul, Minn.

Minneapolis, Minn.

Houston, Tex.

New Orleans, La.

Omaha, Neb.

Who wants to put these towns on the
trade map?

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.

► Weekly weather forecast, is-
sued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
the week beginning Wednes-
day, October 13, 1915:

For the Region of the Great
Lakes — Local rains are proba-
ble about October 15 in the
upper lake region; otherwise
generally fair weather will
prevail. It will be somewhat cooler in
the upper lake region, but on the whole
temperatures will be moderate.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley
and Plains States — Fair weather will
be followed by rain October 14 or 15
and again by generally fair weather
during the remainder of the week. It
will be warmer in the plains states and
probably somewhat cooler about Octo-
ber 15 over the northern districts.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee
— Rains October 13 will be followed by
generally fair weather during the re-
mainder of the week without decided
temperature changes.

I\)r South Atlantic and East Gulf
States — Partly cloudy weather with oc-
casional showers is probable October 13
and 14, with generally fair weather
thereafter. Temperatures will be near
and slightly above the seasonal average.
For the West Gulf States — Showers
October 13 will be followed by gen-
erally fair weather during the remain-
der of the week; no decided tempera-
ture changes, although somewhat cooler
in the interior.

CHICAGK).

The Market.

Not in years has the Chicago mar-
ket experienced in October the degree
of shortness that has prevailed during
the last few days. There is not one
item that tends to the long side. And
the general condition has been height-
ened by the fact that all outdoor stock
is off the market. Every wholesale
house has been compelled to turn away
business, while the cutting of orders
and substitutions have been quite the
order of the day. Yet in spite of these ^
conditions, regular patrons, both city

and out-of-town, of the various houses
have been well cared for.

The supply of Beauties is far short
of the demand and prices are accord-
ingly stiff. Quality in a part of the
stock is all that could be desired, but
there are many growers still fighting
black spot and the flowers received,
because of the cold weather, are unus-
ually tight.

Anything in the shape of a rose, be
it long or short, fancy or poor stock,
clears with an astonishing rapidity.
Short roses are practically unobtain-
able, but as all lengths are scarce, there
is never a quibble as to length, qual-
ity or color. The variety that leads
this week is the one that chances to
be most abundant.

Even if the market were long, the
carnations that are being received
would call forth favorable comment.
Oood color, solid flowers and stiff stems
of fair length characterize the stock
generally. iLittle opportunity, how-
ever, is afforded for inspection, as car-
nations are in view only as they are
in transit from the receiving to the
shipping boxes or the city bundle.

Chrysanthemums, too, are short of
the demand. The second batch of early
mums is remarkably tardy in arriving
on the scene. Chrysolora is the best
variety now available. Unaka is avail-
able on orders for pink. Valley con-
tinues scarce, and is not always forth-
coming even when a stiff price is of-
fered. Easter lilies and rubrums find
a ready sale. The receipts of cattleyas
are cleared without difficulty. Gar-
denias are insufficient in supply to meet
the requirements of the market. Sin-
gle violets are arriving in small num-
bers, but no doubles have been report-
ed; they are remarkably late.

Greens are no exception to the gen-
eral rule and are selling well.

Growers Will Move.

The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso-
ciation, which has been in its present
location, 176 North Michigan avenue,
for a period of five years, closed a deal
October 12, at a meeting of its direc-
tors, whereby it secures under a lease,

Rush your rush orders to RandalFs

ff

The true test of cut flower service is on rush shipments— when the market is
generally "tight" and good flowers are, on the whole, scarce. You will be glad
at such times to have us as a dependable source of supply. You will find our
organization both able and willing at all times to take care of your orders, by
mail, phone or in person. Roses, including Beauties and Russells, Mums, Carna-
tions and Valley are this week's best offerings. Let us put your name on our
list to receive regular bulletins of cut flower prices.

The Fall Show.

The executive committee for the fall
show holds a weekly meeting at the
Hotel Morrison. A. Henderson, W. N.
Rudd, W. J. Keimel, George Asmus,
Guy W. French, E. F. Kurowski, Ar-
nold Ringier, E. Kanst, Robert Brenton,
Payne Jennings, N. P. Miller and M.
Barker were in attendance at the ses-
sion October 7.

"Routine business connected with
the coming exhibition, to be held at
the Coliseum November 9 to 14, occu-
pied the attention of the committee
the greater part of the afternoon," re-
ports the chairman of the publicity
committee, "and reports from chair-

men of the various subcommittees
showed substantial progress. Manager
French announced that a large number
of special prizes have been secured
and others promised. Arrangements
are being made for extensive exhibits
from the various park systems and
plans for Robert Brenton 's novel flower
dance feature are going well. The
name of Professor H. B. Dorner, of
the University of Illinois, has been
added to the lecture program, his sub-
ject being "Garden Flowers," with
an extensive exhibit of stereopticon
slides. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind.,
has promised a talk on garden roses.
Exhibitors in the non - competitive
trades' display will be given one trade
ticket good the first day of the show
for each square foot of space taken.

"E. F. Winterson has been appointed
chairman of the trade tickets com-
mittee. ' '

The following will be invited to
serve as a jury of award: E. A.
Kanst, Chicago, as chairman; Theodore
Wirth, Minneapolis; James Wilson,
Des Moines, la.; W. A. Kennedy, Mil-
waukee, Wis.; J. E. Matthewson,
Sheboygan, Wis.; August Koch, J. F.
Kidwell, C. A. Samuelson, A. Lange,
George Wienhoeber and H. N. Bruns,
Chicago.

A little group of young ladies prom-
inent in Chicago society posed on the
roof of Hotel La Salle, October 12,
for the benefit of the flower show.
Each held some flowers, Beauties or
chrysanthemums, while the photogra-
pher and publicity director, R. R.
Brenton, took the pictures and saw
that the wind carried nothing of value
off the roof. The ladies, who are mem-
bers of the board of directors of the
Sunshine League, will assist in the

Various Notes.

So far as heard from, the first aza-
leas to reach Chicago this season are
those of Peter Pearson. They left Rot-
terdam September 18 and opened up
in fine condition in Mr. Pearson's place
October 12.

October 12, at St. Henry's church,
Miss Cecelia Muno, daughter of John
Muno, 2464 Kenilworth avenue, and
sister of George Muno, was wedded to
H. C. Steflfen. The bride is well known
in the trade as the niece of N. J.
Wietor and his brother, Henry, and as
the sister-in-law of Dominick Freres.
Adam Zender, Peter Reinberg and
George Reinberg are also numbered
among her kinsmen. Mr. and Mrs.
Steffen will make their home in Rogers
Park.

A new flower store has been opened
at 2426 North Halsted street by Wil-
liam Lange.

A trophy shield for the winner in
an originality contest in the use of
flowers for personal adornment will be
awarded at the Grand Floral Festival
next November by Kennicott Bros. Co.

of field plants exceeded 200,000, accord-
ing to Mr. Reichling, who counts on
their being well cleaned up, as many
shipments still go out each day.

The sales of the E. C. Amling Co.
for the first week in October are re-
ported to have been the largest for
that week in the history of the concern.
John Michelsen believes the recent
scarcity of stock will be of short dura-
tion.

After spending most of the summer
in the service of the state. A, I.
Simmons now is devoting his energies
to his retail business on Sixty-third
street. He has a fine letter from Gov-
ernor Dunn complimenting him on his
administration of the Boys' School
Camp at Springfield.

Though never' neglecting business,
Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster,

This is nativity week at Winterson's
Seed Store. L. H. Winterson was 41
years of age October 10, E. F, Winter-
son, Jr., was 24 October 11 and John P.
Degnan will be 42 October 16.

Since his appointment to the office
of flower show superintendent, Guy W.
French, of French & Salm, is under
the necessity of spending half of his
time in Chicago and half in Union
Grove. The two weeks preceding the
show, however, he will remain in the

city.

A meeting of the National Flower
Show committee will call George Asmus,
its chairman, to Philadelphia October

18 to 20.

Being somewhat of a philosopher,
Otto Frese, of the city office of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., believes that
change of work is rest. So last week,
when he took a day oflE, he incidentally
moved his residence to 4223 Monticello
avenue.

The office force of the John Kruchten
Co. has received an addition in the
person of William J. McKee, who will
have charge of the books of the cor-
poration.

After checking up his books, John
Sinner, of. Sinner Bros., says last Sep-
tember was the best ninth month his
firm has enjoyed in five years. He at-
tributes the fact to their present ad-
vantageous location.

possess a practical value for motorists.

After a trip through the Weiland &

The Market.

The exciting question of the day, a
question that will not finally be set-
tled until after The Review goes to
press, is an important one. Have the
dahlias been frozen? The wholesalers
are evenly divided on the question;
some say dahlias are over, others that
they are not. The fact that a killing
frost visited this neighborhood on the
night of October 10 is undisputed. The
protected lowlands suffered most. The
higher, more exposed fields merely got a
chill that injured the open blooms in
some cases, but did not spoil the plants.
The flow of dahlias continued October
11 and 12 in a lesser degree, but
whether it will continue after that is
the question. It seems probable that
some of the growers will have dahlias
when this column appears and that
there will be a fair, but not heavy,
supply of these showy fall flowers.

The jolt given the dahlias is un-
timely. Generally, the wholesalers are
rather relieved when Jack Frost closes
the dahlia season, but today matters are
reversed. The market is so sparsely
supplied with greenhouse-grown flowers
that the dahlias are a necessity to fill
the gap. Conditions are unusual. There
are so few flowers in proportion to the
demand that practically everything sella
on sight and many orders are refused.
Such a state of affairs has not existed
for a long time. It is primarily due to
the cool weather immediately follow-
ing a period of extraordinary heat. This

hot spell knocked out cosmos, hurt the
dahlias and shook things up generally,
both outdoors and under glass. It is
probable that the acute market condi-
tions will be relieved in a few days, as
new shippers are coming in nearly every
day, growers that have not been heard
from since the fall season opened.

The supply of carnations is nearly
double that of two weeks ago and is
still increasing, while chrysanthemums
are certain to increase steadily for sev-
eral weeks. Easter lilies and lilies of
the valley have been in most active de-
mand. So, too, have been roses, of

nearly any good variety, and chrysan-
themums. Dahlias have sold well; or-
chids are in better demand.

This, briefly, is the condition of the
market in mid-October, a condition that
affords reasons for looking forward to a
good season.

Current Events.

John Young, secretary of the Society
of American Florists, has sent out a
well written circular letter to all the
florists in Pennsylvania, urging them to
join the national society now. The
strong argument is used that in these
times of overproduction our interests

may be advanced by concerted eflforts,
when singly it would be impossible. At-
tention is called to the fact that the
National Flower Show to be held in
Philadelphia, March 25 to April 2, is
sure to be a great success and that, in
view of this fact, the society deserves
the support of every florist in the state.
The membership dues of $5 for the first
year cover admission to the show, so
that every florist who joins may feel
that he is not only helping the national
society, which has done much for him
in many ways, but he can also go in and
out of the show with the back of his
coat chalked, so to speak.

Ranstead street is becoming a floral
thoroughfare from a wholesaler's stand-
point. Edward Reid originally discov-
ered Ranstead street; so, taking his place
as a center, we find Stuart H. Miller
and the Joseph Heacock Co. on the east,
while the Philadelphia Wholesale Flo-
rists' Exchange and Walter Davis lie
to the west. Returning to the start-
ing point, it is interesting to note that
the discoverer of Ranstead street is
prophesying a good season, the best we
ever had. This is amazing to those who
know Mr. Reid. He is a man of th0
Thomas Cartledge type— "Go slow,
boys" — one who believes in looking be-

fore leaping, one who does not believe
in taking foolish chances; in short, a
conservative business man. It seemed
to me that this statement, coming from
Mr. Reid, was most encouraging, be-
cause the general view is that while
business conditions are better than they
were one year ago, they are not nearly
so good as they were two years ago. I
was further interested in learning that
Mr. Reid had some Chrysoloras that
have been snapped up at $3 per dozen,
the top market price so far, and more
of the same variety ordered in advance.
When asked about roses, Mr. Reid said
that his Beauties were of the Reid
brand and that he considered Ophelia
and Sunburst to be sterling market
varieties. After a look at the icebox,
which was certainly in a healthy condi-
tion, I left with the earnest hope that
Mr. Reid's first optimistic prophecies
might be fulfilled.

Various Notes.

Walter Davis opened for business at
1713 Ranstead street October 11. His
first day was encouraging.

The Market.

There was a general good feeling all
around last week, because business
showed a great improvement. Instead
of the former conditions, when benches
were heaped up with outdoor stock,
everything moved nicely and cheap
stock was practically out of the ques-
tion. As there is nothing except a few
dingy asters, candytufts and coreopsis
from outdoors, we are relying entirely
on greenhouse stock. The demand for
roses was exceptional last week. The
roses have been in splendid condition
of late, the cooler weather having ben-
efited them greatly. American Beau-

ties are good and have a rich color.
Easter lilies are neither plentiful nor
so good as they might be. Callas are
scarce. Valley is in better demand and
is good. Carnations are not up to their
usual condition, but they are improv-^
ing. They are not overplentiful. Jap-
anese lilies were useful last week for
funeral work. Tuberoses are excellent
and sell fairly well. A few bachelor's
buttons and forget-me-nots are handy
in corsage and basket work. Orchids
and gardenias are good and sell well.
Fine consignments of yellow and white
chrysanthemums arrive each day and
are quickly disposed of. Dahlias in
many shades and varieties were the
feature of the week. They have been
of first quality, but not too plentiful.
There is plenty of green stock for all
demands.

Various Notes.

The new flower shop on East avenue,
of which Edwin C. Armbrust is pro-
prietor, had its formal opening last
week. There is every indication that
the business will be a success. There
were numerous flower gifts for the
opening, one handsome vase of Amer-
ican Beauties coming from the store
force of S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo,
where Mr. Armbrust was employed for
some time. The store is artistic in its

appointments, the walls being done in
silver gray, and the desks, tables,
screens, etc., are finished in fumed oak.
The refrigerator, a McCray, is in white
enamel. A number of friends and
acquaintances visited the store during
the opening week.

The extensive alterations at the store
of H. E. Wilson, 88 East Main street,
have been completed. A large window
graces the front of the store, the en-
trance being at the side. The window
has a tiled floor of green and white de-
sign. Large mirrors give length to the
window. At the top of the window is
trelliswork, worked into a diamond de-
sign. Strong reflectors add to the ef-
fect at night. The color scheme through-
out the store and window is green and
white.

Ernest F. Hoehl, of S. S. Skidelsky
& Co., Philadelphia, was in town last
week.

The largest stock of bulbs that ever
came to Rochester is on display at
James Vick's Sons' store. The com-
pany reports business as being un-
usually brisk, aside from the many mail
orders. At the farm, the work is heavy.
Most of the seeds from the annuals
are being taken care of. The crop is
large.

baskets have slender, graceful handles that seem as though made for a few
delicate buds and a bow of ribbon. Then we have the best of the old favorites
in baskets— the kinds you like. Let us select $50.00, $25.00 or $10.00 worth
of novel and staple baskets and send them to you to show what we can do.

nate. Orchids are finding a better out-
|jBt. Easter lilies are scarce. There is a
jjood demand for lily of the valley and
not enough to supply the wants.

The stores were exceptionally busy
last week with funeral work. Also the
announcement of the forthcoming wed-
ding of President Wilson and Mrs.
Norman Gait produced quite a stir in
florists' circles. The shipping business
to the south in the last two weeks has
been good.

Various Notes.

Among Washington 's royal rooters
who went to Philadelphia to witness
the baseball battle between the Phillies
and Red Sox were William F. Gude,
Adolph Gude and George W. Hess.
After the games, William F. Gude and
Mr. Hess went to Barnegat Bay, where
they were the guests of Commodore
John Westcott.

Theodore Diedrich has been drawn
to serve on the jury in the criminal
court. Frank Sly, 423 Center Market,
will perform similar duties in the po-
lice court.

Horace C. Cheeseman, of New York
city, and Antoine Wintzer, of West
Grove, Pa., were visitors in Washing-
ton last week.

I. Bosnosky called at a number of
the stores during the week in the in-
terests of the Henry F. Michell Co.

The first frost of the season in this
locality occurred October 9 and was
followed by several days of extremely
cold weather. Large quantities of out-
door plants, especially those on low
ground, were destroyed. C. L. L.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Last week there was a noticeable in-
crease in the demand for all kinds of
cut flowers, but the supply was in-
adequate, both as to quality and quan-
tity. Chrysanthemums are the feature
of the market and, with a few days of
sunshine, they will bloom in all their
glory.

Growers hereabouts were much re-
lieved last week by the arrival of the
first bulbs and azaleas. There had been
some doubts as to whether these would
come this year.

Various Notes.

The flower department of S. 8.
Kresge, 191 Westminster street, was
opened last week by A. Solomon.

John J. Kelley, Valley Falls, had
forty designs for a funeral recently.
He reports good business.

George L. Stillman, of Westerly, has
had exceptional success in exhibiting
his dahlias at the various fairs and
shows this fall. He recently received
several prizes at the Trenton, N. J.,
fair.

S. J. Renter & Son, Westerly, have
been awarded the contract for grading
and laying out the new addition to the
Oak Grove cemetery, at Ashaway.

The Lapham Floral Co., of Central
Falls, will open a store in the new Fan-
ning building, on Broad street, Paw-
tucket. W. H. M.

The announcement made last week
that G. S. Congdon, of Bristol, had de-
cided to discontinue business, was in-
correct. Mr. Congdon has repaired the
greenhouses damaged by hail this sum-
mer and is doing business as usual.

|E A.RE PLEASED to announce the incorDoration of A. L. Youns &
Co., which has been organized with a broad charter to conduct a
Wholesale Florist busioess, and any other business appertaining
thereto, on co-operative priociples, and which will therefore not be a close
corporation. It will be open to all interested in the florist business, grow-
ers, retailers, etc., to become members and participate in the conducting of
a business which the.T are all more or less interested in and thoroaghly
acauainted with, offering all an equal opportunity for promoting the wel-
fare, progress and prosperity of their own business, and sharing in the ben-
efits and profits of their own enterprise and industry.

We believe this the ideal method of conducting a wholesale florist busi-
ness, especially under present conditions. It is desirable to secure a num-
ber of practical co-workers, therefore the capital stock has been divided
into preferred shares at the popular price of f 10.00 each. Full Paid and Non-
assessable.il

The President is reliable and capable and has conducted a profitable
business successfully for over ten years and will continue, together with
the co-operation of other members thoroughly trustworthy and reliable, to
conduct this business even more successfully, which started July 1, 1916,
entirely free from any liability or debt of any kind.

No oflScer shall receive any salary for his services as such until a
minimum dividend of at least 6 per cent has been earned on the stock.
Systematic audits and reports compiled by competent accountants will
be made at regular meetings.

The earnest support already given is gratifying, and is a sufficient
guarantee of the success of the company and aa assurance of the still
greater success it is destined to become. !

marks, it will outclass any others held
heretofore. William Feast, chairman

so far accomplished. The talk given

An important meeting of the Toledo
Florists' Club was held October 5, at
the Hotel Seeor. Plans for the annual
chrysanthemum show, to be held No-
vember 7 to 9, were decided upon. The
dates were arranged so as not to con-

be the most elaborate ever given in To-

The reception committee is arranging
a fine program for out-of-town guests,
and has the assistance of the Toledo

The annual election of officers took
place at this meeting, after a banquet

was elected president, Harry Heinl,
vice-president, and A. C. Kneisle, with
Schramm Bros., secretary and treas-
urer. As a token of gratitude and ap-

Varioua Notes.

During the last three months two
new fiower stores have been started in
this city. One of these is the Park
Flower Shop, at 726 Madison avenue.
The second is the Lindley Floral Co.,
situated a few doors from the former
stand of the Art Floral Co. Henry E.
Klunder, formerly with the Art Floral
Co., is manager of the new store. Both
of the stores are doing a nice business,
considering the time of the year. All
the local florists wish them success.

Miss G. Winters, forelady for George
Bayer, is confined to Eobinwood hos-
pital as the result of a nervous break-
down.

Metz & Bateman have been busy
with work for the conclave of the
Knights Templar.

Harry Heinl, of West Toledo, is cut-
ting some fine Killarney and Ophelia
roses.

Some fine carnations grown by Henry
J. Miller were on display in a local
shop window last week. Mr. Miller
will make an exhibit of carnations at
the fall flower show.

The Market.

Prices were high for most flowers in
the wholesale market last week. Chrys-
anthemums were more plentiful. A
greater number of varieties were
shown and the flowers were of better
quality. The poorest blooms cost $1.50
to $2 a dozen, wholesale, and the bettelr
flowers $3 and $4 a dozen, with some
of the fancy flowers going above that.'
Carnations were of better quality and
more plentiful, though not yet so
abundant as they will be in a few
weeks. These cost 3 cents and 4 cents
each in the wholesale market.

Eoses were fairly abundant and of
good quality. Easter lilies were numer-
ous and brought good prices. Cocks-
comb was displayed in several stores.
Asters are still coming into the mar-
ket, but each week they are deteriorat-
ing in quality. Some of the retailers
are decorating their windows in part
with wild flowers and autumn foliage.
Orchids are more plentiful and are a
feature in the window displays of sev-
eral florists.

Inquiries are being made regarding
the filling of fern dishes for winter and
the filling of winter window-boxes.
Firms that deal in bulbs are display-
ing and advertising them prominently.
Some florists are also pushing the sale
of small nursery stock suitable for fall
planting.

the Essex County Florists' Club, the
question of holding a flower show was
discussed. No definite decision was
reached and the matter will come up
again at the next meeting. Other plans
for the fall were discussed.

John Crossley, of 39 Belleville ave-
nue, went to his summer home at At-
lantic Highlands with his wife, daugh-
ter and granddaughter October 8, and
stayed over Columbus day. Mr. Cross-
ley reports business fair, but not rush-
ing.

M. Gahr, 311 Springfield avenue, re-
ports considerable funeral work, a lit-
tle wedding work and a somewhat im-
proved transient trade.

William Ferre & Co., 197 Ferry
street, states that business is still quiet.
He fears it will not be much better
until the European war ends. Most
of the residents in Mr. Ferre 's neigh-
borhood work in the factories and lost
much time earlier in the year. This
seems to account for the dullness in
that section.

Edward Metz, 195 Ferry street, says
business is still quiet. He has some
funeral work, but the pieces purchased
are not as large as when business in

the neighborhobd is normal. The
counter trade is small.

Dominico Orgo, 171 Ferry street,
states that while business is a little
quiet with him, it is a little better
than it was last year at this time, and
he looks for good business during the
coming winter. Many in his locality
were out of work last winter and
spring and now have old bills to pay,
besides laying in their winter supplies
and clothing. Mr. Orgo thinks, however,
that the florists' business will be good
at Christmas and after.

A certificate of incorporation has
been filed for C. E. Bauman, Inc., whose
registered office is in the Woodruff
building, Kahway, N. J. The corpora-
tion was formed to engage in horti-
culture and gardening. The author-
ized capital stock is $125,000. The in-
corporators are Camille E,, John E.
and Adolph H. Bauman.

Philips Bros., 938 Broad street, New-
ark, report that the fall trade is
opening up well. There has been much
funeral work in the last two weeks.
Cheesecloth has been spread under part
of the glass in their greenhouse to pro-
tect the big palms from burning.

Joseph F. McDonough, 376 Belleville
avenue, says he has had much funeral
work lately and also many weddings
for this time of year.

Jacob H. Harvey, 406 Broad street,
has just done the decorations for a big
wedding. He reports that counter
trade is increasing and that the out-
look for the fall is good. In Mr. Har-
vey's window is a card on which is
the following: "Most florists keep
flowers. We don't; we sell them.
Everything's fresh but the clerk."

Charles Luthy, 363 Springfield ave-
nue, reports business quiet. There is
some funeral and wedding work, but
the counter trade is still small and
there is not the life in business that
there ought to be.

The twelfth annual autumn show of
the New Jersey Floricultural Society,
held last week in the O. U. A. M. hall.
Main and Park streets. Orange, was
a great success. There were thousands
of dahlias and a great variety of fruits
and vegetables. William A. Manda, of
South Orange, had a fine display of
dahlias. He won six firsts and a sec-

ond. William H. Darlington, of Mama-

having four firsts and a second.

BOSTON.

The Market.

It is many months since flower
stands in the various wholesale stores
and markets have been as well cleaned
up as has been the case the last few
days. A real, old-time activity has
prevailed and growers have been great-
ly encouraged by the advance in prices.
The turn in the tide was bound to
come sooner or later and it is hoped
now that the season's business will go
well ahead of that of a year ago.

Chrysanthemums are arriving in
greater abundance, but not in sufficient
volume to cause any slump in the
value of other flowers. Golden Glow
and Advance are most in evidence,
with Unaka and Octobei; Frost arriv-
ing in smaller lots. Some pompons are
also seen. Good prices are being real-
ized. A few fancies have made $3
to $4 per dozen, but the general aver-
age has been $8 to $16 per hundred.

Roses continue to do well and every-
thing cleans up at slightly higher prices
than a week ago. A week of cloudy,
cool and damp weather materially re-
diiced supplies. Carnations have ad-
vanced still further. A few fancies
have reached $5, but the general run
of stock has commanded $2 to $4 per
hundred. Single violets arrive in small
quantities. Lilies are scarce and dearer.

Twenty-five years catering to the retail trade.

Valley is of better quality with cooler
weather, and has sold well. Gladioli
and asters are small and poor. Other
outdoor flowers still appear, but they
now cut little figure. Cattleyas are
abundant and there is a moderate sup-
ply of gardenias.

In flowering plants, nice yellow pom-
pon chrysanthemums are available, in
addition to ericas, cyclamens and be-
gonias. Pot plant trade is much im-
proved.

Various Notes.

The first get-together of the eight
bowling teams in the new Boston Flo-
rists' League brought out a good at-
tendance at the Arch street alleys Oc-
tober 7. The winning teams were Car-
bone's, the Pansies, Galvin 's and the
Flower Market, the losers being Zinn's,
H. M. Robinson 's, Flower Exchange and
Wax Bros. Carbone 's team made 'the
highest score, 1,259, the highest indi-
vidual score being 337, by Bresnahan,
of the Boston Cut Flower Co.

William R. Nicholson, of Framing-
ham, is cutting some splendid Unaka
and October Frost mums. His carna-
tions never looked better. Specially
fine now are Alice, Matchless, Pink De-
light and Benora. For yellow mar-
guerite cuttings there has been an al-
most insatiable demand.

John Barr, of South Natick, has com-
pleted installing a new water supply
from the river near his establishment,
using a pressure tank electric pump,
self-started. It works splendidly. Car-
nations with him are in good condition
and are flowering freely. The demand
for field plants was good except for
scarlets, which no one seemed to want.

At the big Brockton fair, October 5
to 9, H. M. Robinson & Co. took first
premium for best vase of roses, with
fine American Beauties. Dahlias were
largely shown by J. K. Alexander, W.
D. Hathaway, F. L. Tinkham and
others. Messrs. French and Hathaway
judged the flowers, Duncan Finlayson

A. G. Pembroke, salesman for A. A.
Pembroke and F. J. Dolansky, is en-

man in his absence.

J. A, Nelson, of Framingham, is cut-
ting some excellent Nelrose and Phelp 's
White snapdragons. In carnations,
which are his specialty, he is sending
in extra fine Alice, Pink Delight, Bea-
con, Matchless, "White Enchantress and
Benera.

Frank Edgar, of Waverley, is cutting
a fine crop of Golden Glow chrysan-
themums. He has a large and well
grown lot of cyclamens coming along
for the holiday trade.

Inquiries at the seed stores show that
bulbs are selling remarkably well, al-
though we have had only light frosts
to cut down bedding plants. Boman
hyacinths are all sold. There is a
strong call for Darwin and other late
tulips.

. N. F. Comley, of Burlington, is
sending in quantities of single violets
and a large variety of carnations, in-
cluding Matchless, Pink Delight,
Benora, White Wonder, White En-
chantress and Beacon.

A special section for plants and cut
flowers is being reserved at Mechanics
building, where a county fair, em-
bracing all products of the soil, will
be opened October 23, closing October
30. The Boston Cooperative Flower
Market will take charge of the flower
end of the exhibition, with N. F.
Comley as manager. Schedules are
ready.

A. H. Hews & Co. report an almost
unprecedentedly heavy call for flower
pots. Of some sizes they are prac-
tically cleaned out and overtime work
is necessary to keep abreast of orders.

at East Milton, are already making
shipments of pansies and pompon
chrysanthemums to W. A. Hastings.

Do not forget the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club's meeting October 19.
There will be an attractive lecture,
good exhibits and much business of
importance to transact. Those plan-
ning to take the landscape classes
should send in their names at once to
the secretary.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
finds Alicp to be a remarkably free-
flowering carnation. Champion, Bea-
con, Matchless, Benora and Gorgeous
all are in fine shape. No crimson is
being grown this season. Sweet peas
are coming along well and will soon
be in flower.

Chandler Bros., of Tewksbury, know
how to grow Golden Glow mums. Their
flowers realize $2.50 per dozen, where
many go at $1. They grow Bonnaffon
in large numbers.

The annual autumn exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
formerly known as the chrysanthemum
show, will be held November 4 to 7.

The following list of names, to be
voted on November 13 at the annual
election of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, has been posted:
President, E. M. Saltonstall; vice-presi-
dent, Walter Hunnewell; trustees for
three years, Geo. E. Barnard, William
C. Endicott, A. F. Estabrook, J. K.
M. L. Farquhar; nominating commit-
tee, A. F. Estabrook, Eichard Hit-
tinger, J. G. Jack, Thomas Eoland,
J. L. Smith.

J. Leach & Son and John McFarland,
of North Easton, are each sending in
superior shipments of lily of the
valley.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. is well
pleased with the way fall business has
started up. Wedding and funeral or-
ders have kept this firm busy of late.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

During festival week, which was held
here last week, there was great activity
among the retailers. There was a big
demand for stock and the supply
equaled the demand. The heavy frosts
the latter part of the week, however,
cut off outdoor stock and wholesalers
found it difficult to fill all orders.
Prices stiffened. The shortage was too
sudden, as not only was the outdoor
stock cut off, but the greenhouse stock
also suffered by the sudden change.
The small quantity of stock that ar-
rived October 11 was placed on advance
orders, so that the wholesale market
is practically cleared. Chrysanthe-
mums are coming in freely. Some
splendid October Frost, Smith's Ad-
vance and Golden Glow sold well.
Eoses are of better quality. The cold
weather seemed a good stimulant for
both the color and stem. Ophelia,
Ward, Russell and Beauty are true to
form. Carnations, too, have greatly
improved. The Enchantress varieties,
Beacon and Ward are among the best.
A few violets are coming in. From
now on, these should prosper. Orchids
had a good call last week. Longiflorum
and rubrum lilies, valley and snap-
dragons sell well. Smilax, asparagus
and adiantum had a big call last week.

ber 4. A great deal of important busi-
ness w&B transacted. According to
Secretary Joseph Deutschmann, all offi-
cers VFere present and the attendance
was large. At the next meeting of
the association a committee will be ap-
pointed to represent the association at
the meeting of the American Carnation
Society, and to help the committee of
the St. Louis Florists' Club in enter-
taining the attending delegates.

The Retail Florists' Association will
hold a meeting October 18 at the Mis-
sion Inn Garden. This is to be the
most important meeting of the year.
Secretary Fred C. Weber, Jr., is en-
thusiastic about the interest displayed
by the members.

Charles Beyer says street fairs have
their charms. As his firm 's store was
right in the midst of the South Grand
avenue business men's street fair, con-
siderable business in decorating and
transient trade was done.

Alexander Johnson, of Wellston, was
the only florist who exhibited at the
big fair held in Maxwelton park and
he carried off all the prizes. A num-
ber of florists visited the fair October
7. Mr. Johnson says that fair week
brought him considerable business.

The decorations furnished by the C.
Young & Sons Co. for the big ball of
the Veiled Prophet at the Coliseum
were more elaborate than for any pre-
vious occasion and elicited a great de^
of favorable comment.

The flower department at the Grand
Leader is making a big display of fall
bulbs. Frank Sanders, formerly with
the Sanders Nurseries, is now connect-
ed with this department.

It is reported that a large delega-
tion from here will go to the Cleve-
land flower show next month. Perhaps
a bowling team can be entered in the
tournament. The Big Fotir route
makes a rate of $13.25, as one-way
fare to Cleveland. This matter will
be brought up at the next meeting of
the Florists' Club.

A. S. Cerny says he has cut back all
his roses, with the exception of Russell
and Ophelia. This will hold back his
rose cut during the mum season. Mr.
Cerny 's place in Kirkwood is in the
best of shape and he looks forward to
a successful season in growing roses.

R. F. Windier, formerly a prominent
retailer here, but now of Rogers Park,
Chicago, is consigning to the Windier
Wholesale Floral Co. a splendid lot of
well-grown roses, which sell well.

Joseph Hauser cut as many as 5,000
of his new single red dahlia daily, last
week. These were disposed of by the
W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., at
good prices. It looks as if Mr. Hauser
had struck a gold mine in this variety.

Grimm & Qorly furnished the decora-
tions for the automobile show at Forest
Park Highlands last week. It was a
big order and was nicely executed.
This firm reports a big improvement in
business since the cold weather set in.

W. A. Eowe, of Kirkwood, is cutting
some fine blooms of his yellow sport
of Smith's Advance, and several thou-
sands are ready for cutting. The
Windier Wholesale Floral Co., which
handles this stock, says it is a good
seller.

The Strohmeyer Fh)ral Co., in the
south end, has discontinued business.
Fred Strohmeyer, who was head of the
concern, now is with the M. M. Ayres
Floral Co., on Grand avenue.

Mullanphy, Florists, will move this
month from the present location, at
Seventh and Olive streets, to the south-
east corner of Eighth and Locust
streets, the former location of the Mer-
cantile Trust Co.

The cold, bright days of last week
greatly improved the quality of the
violets. The growers of Kirkwood,
where the bulk of the violets come
from, promise an even greater crop this
season than in any previous year.

Among the mum growers in the south
end who have a fine stock of both cut
flowers and pot plants, are the Bourdet
Floral Co., George B. Windier, Charles
Beyer, Wm. Schray & Sons, John Held
and John M. Walther. All report a
number of orders ahead for pot plants.

A number of growers from the sub-
urbs and nearby towns visited the
wholesale district last week. Among
them were W. J. Pilcher, W. A. Rowe,
Phil. Goebel, Qus. Vennemann, A.
Jablonsky, William Edwards, A. H.
Ahner, O. C. May, Hugo Werner, J. F.
Ammann, A. S. Cerny, Aug. Hartmann,

W. Atlee Burpee, Jr., and Howard M.
Earl are on the Pacific coast.

Holland bulb travelers already are
canvassing the trade for orders for 1916
crops, almost coincident with delivery
of the 1915 crop.

Mrs. M. W. Johansen, secretary of
the Johansen Seed Co., Los Angeles, is
recovering from a nervous breakdown re-
sulting from overwork.

A DISPOSITION to advance the price of
some of the standard varieties of tulips
is reported, as the result of stock having
cleaned up unexpectedly fast.

Cables to Ollioules make it appear
that no more Paper Whites can be ob-
tained this year. So far as reported, no
one is cabling for Bomans.

E. Dean Hickox, treasurer of the
Hickox-Rumsey Co., Batavia, N. Y., has
submitted to an operation for a kid-
ney disorder after being confined to his
home for several weeks. He is reported
as convalescing satisfactorily.

Secretary Kendel this week has sent
to members of the American Seed Trade
Association the thirty-third annual vol-
ume, containing the stenographic report
of the San Francisco convention and the
usual other association matter.

W. E. Haile, Monticello, Fla., recently
completed a trip among the growers of
velvet beans for seed in Florida, Ala-
bama and Georgia. His observations
lead him to believe no more ,than half a
crop will be made, as the result of
drought and the ravages of caterpillar.

F. W. Bruogerhof, president of the
Wholesale Seedsmen's League and of
J. M. Thorbum & Co., New York, cele-
brated his eighty-fifth birthday anni-
versary this week. He was bom of Hol-
land parentage, in Prussia, October 13,
1830. There probably is no older man
actively engaged in thd seed trade, and
certainly none more revered.

Joseph Schildek, of Schilder Bros.,
Chillicothe, O., was in Chicago October
6 to 8, superintending the shipping of
onion sets and contracting for the sale
of onion seeds for 1916 delivery. Mr.
Schilder, who has been traveling over the
various growing districts of the central
states, is of the opinion that seed for
white onion sets will be remarkably scarce
next year.

ONION SETS AND SEED.

White onion sets are so damaged by
wet weather that the sample, according
to A. H. Smith, treasurer of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is quite un-
satisfactory. Yellow sets are much
better; red are between the two.
Onion sets as a crop are decidedly
short. There are few flrst-class whites
at any price. Most of the whites will
not keep, under present conditions, un-
til they reach their destination. Prices,
accordingly, will be unusually high
next year, and the man who stores stock
is facing a probable loss of from thirty
to forty per cent shrinkage on both
sets and large onions. Speaking of

are also White Portugal and White
Globe. There is yet some stock of
Yellow Globe and Bed Globe to be

OOBN IN NEBRASKA.

William Emerson, manager of the
Western Seed & Irrigation Co., Fremont,
Neb., went out October 9 to inspect
some of the sweet and field corn crops
at Columbus, Oconee and Monroe to see
what effect the killing frosts of October
7 and 8 had upon the corn. "Every crop
I looked at," says Mr. Emerson, "in-
dicates a large yield, with large ears,
but Extremely late and backward, Early
Red Cory, Early Minnesota and Sto-
well's 'Evergreen sweet corn all being
soft and far from out of danger. Field
corns largely are soft and many of them
light and loose on the cob, indicating
light weight corn.

"We do not consider any corn in
Nebraska north of the Platte river safe
from repeated heavy killing frosts or
hard freezing weather, and it is a ques-
tion if more than a small percentage of
the corn in thfe section where the seed

The Florists' Review

Secretary — A. M. Eldridge, of the
Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah.
V, Treasurer — John T. Hamilton, of
I Hamilton Bros. Seed Co., Cedar Rapids.

The seed houses of the state were well
represented, some new members were
added and general good fellowship pre-
vailed. The members were the guests
of and were royally entertained by Tal-
bott Bros. Seed Co., of Keokuk.

The matter of a weekly letter to
members of the association was pre-
sented by Henry Field, of Shenandoah,
and the secretary was authorized to isr
sue this letter, which will contain in-
formation of interest to the trade, the
different members reporting to the sec-
retary eact week. The gist of the let-
ters will be weather and crop reports,
legislative news, long and short stocks,
etc. The secretary is now ready to hear
from the members.

UNCLE SAM'S SEEDS.

October 6, at Washington, the general
supply committee opened bids on a num-
ber of lots of seeds for supplying the
needs of various branches of the gov-
ernment service during the period from
November 1, 1915, until June 30, 1916.
The bids did not concern the supply of
seeds for the congressional seed dis-
tribution, contracts for which will not
be awarded until next January. The
seeds wanted are for planting at the
Arlington experimental farm, at the
farm of the national asylum for the in-
Sane and at the zoological park in the
suburbs of Washin^on. Following
were the specifications:

It is explained at the office of the
general supply committee that bids
were opened several months ago to sup-
ply the above seeds, etc., to the govern-
ment for use during the first three
months of this fiscal year, beginning
July 1 last. The government con-
tracts along this line are divided into
periods of three months and nine
months respectively, it is stated, be-
cause some of the crops are not har-
vested until after the early bids for
contracts to be awarded for the period
be^nning July 1 have to be prepared.
Under such circumstances the seeds-
men and the government agreed that
it would not be practicable to prepare
satisfactory bids. Samples of seeds are
submitted in connection with the bids

fected seed is primarily responsible for
the troubles experienced. Weather con-
ditions greatly influence the subsequent
development of disease, but clean seed
on clean land will go far toward giving
a clean crop, even in a season like the
present, which has been exceptionally
favorable to the development of dis-
ease and unfavorable to the growth of
the bean crop.

"Two bean diseases are commonly
prevalent, anthracnose and bacterial
blight. Both attack and spot the pods,
penetrate them and enter the beans,
remaining dormant over winter under
the seed coats, where they cannot be
reached by disinfectants. "When the
beans are planted, these diseases attack
the young seedlings, causing a root
rot, and blighting of stem and leaves,
and if the weather is cool and wet, they
spread again to the pods.

"As far as possible each farmer
should save his own seed. Beans have
been so generally affected by disease
that the farmer should not rely on ordi-
nary so-called northern-grown seed or

The Florists' Review

OCIOBEB 14, 1915.

MOTT-LY OLEANINaS.

The Mangelsdorf Bros. Co., of Atchi-
son, Kan., has moved its offices to the
new wholesale building, where there are
better facilities for handling the rapidly
increasing business. Frederick Man-
gelsdorf is in charge. Carl ^Mangels-
dorf will manage the store, under the
title of the Seed & Flower Store.

The item in The Eeview of Septem-
ber 30 concerning Northrup, King &
Co., Minneapolis, should/ have read 900
carloads instead of 900 cartons. While
this company handles large numbers of
carton packages, the shipment of 900
carloads of seed was actually the rec-
ord for the season. i

F. W. Barteldes, of the S&arteldes
Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan., says^that a
good corn seed crop can be looked for.

The S. G. Trent Seed Store, of Hia-
watha, Kan., was prize-winner at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition for Boone
County White corn, which- harvested
117 bushels per acre.

The Ross Bros. Seed House, of
Wichita, Kan,, supplied many of the
seeds that produced the splendid exhib-
its entered by Sedgwick county at the
recent wheat exposition. The fruit sec-
tion was exceptionally well filled. An
apple called Wolf King measured fif-
teen inches in circumference. Reports
from the Rocky Ford, Colo,, district say
that melons are not doing well. Vines
are much spotted because of the ex-
cessive moisture. W. M.

DUTCH BULBS.

There were 831 cases of Dutch bulbs
aboard the steamer Noordam, which ar-
rived from Rotterdam October 7. This
^ipment was considerably smaller
than any of the five previous arrivals
and indicates that the importations for
this year are coming to an end. The

and cease altogether by the middle of
November. The following consign-

HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

Do you know that a case of
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum, 7
to 9, costs only $15.00 and
contains 300 bulbs— the best
quality in the world? And do
you know that a grower of
ordinary ability should be able
to get at least 1000 blooms »
from that case at Blaster time
—worth from $100.00 to
$150.00 at retail? There are
few -businesses that yield such
a percentage of profits. Real
live, wide-awake fellows are go-
ing to make big money in the
florist business in the next five
years, and a lot of that money
will be made in lilies. There
is nothing better for general
use, and now that retarded, or
Cold Storage bulbs are a suc-
cess, you can have them at any
time in the year. If you have
not ordered the bulbs yet, it is
time you did, as they are now
ready for delivery for Easter
flowering. Grow as many as you
possibly can, because they are
money-makers. Be sure to get
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum, be-
cause the brand makes all the
difference in the world— not
just because we say so, but be-
cause it is so. They are used
by all the largest growers and
most of the smaller ones, too.

BLIQHT ON TOMATOES.

I have mailed you a Ponderosa to-
mato and a piece of the vine and
should like to have you give your
opinion as to the disease it is affected
with. I would call it either bligWi or
rust, caused by the damp, inclement
weather. All are affected alike. I have
grown them on the same ground be-
fore, with j^o bad results. I had some
this year (So. fresh soil, but they were
affected the same way. Please let me
hear from you as soon as possible.

C. M. K.— Wis.

This is evidently a bacterial blight,
prol^bly caused in the main by the in-
clement weather which we had during
a large part of the summer. The trouble
might be aggravated by growing the
tomatoes in the same ground in suc-
cessive seasons. It is always best to
give this vegetable a fresh location
each year. . For bacterial affections of
an acute nature, such as this, we are
really without any remedy. It may
never recur again with you, but, to
guard against a possibility of its recur-
rence, I would carefully collect and
burn all the plants and fruits, as va-
rious insects are known to disseminate
the bacilli which cause the trouble.
Therefore, clean the ground well, give
it a dressing of lime, plow it and leave
it rough over winter. Botate your crops
regularly and, given suitable soil and
normal summers, you should not have
this blight again. C. "W.

Lompoc, Oal. — Mrs. Edwin Lonsdale
expects to remain here for some time,
being a little fearful of eastern winters.

- Fresno, Oal. — At the flower show held
in connection with the Fresno district
fair, September 28, the Fancher Creek
Nurseries won nine first awards, five
seconds and one third. Their exhibits
included phloxes, dahlias, foliage plants,
begonia plants, ferns, geraniums and
fruit trees.

ITBW STYLE OF STORE FRONT.

A store that is unusual in both de-
sign and material is that of H. A.
Hyde, of Watsonville, Cal., shown in
the illustration on this page. The
front is of redwood logs and plate
glass, presenting a most unusual ap-
pearance, yet one not inappropriate to
his section.

J^r. Hyde completed his fifth large
erreenhouse last month, and now has
ample facilities to handle the retail
trade of his section. During the slack
period in the flower business he has
been keeping busy with the shipment
of calla bulbs.

GOMFHRENA OLOBOSA.

Enclosed find two blooms of an
"everlasting" flower. They are grown
by Japanese here in San Francisco, or
at any rate are sold by them. Whether
it is a variety of helichrysum or not,
I do not know. I have no plant to
send, only the two blooms. Please give
me the name of them if possible, and
tell me where to procure seeds. The
colored bloom may be dyed. I want to
procure some seed for one of the grow-
ers of cut flowers here in San Fran-
cisco. A. C. — Cal.

The flowers enclosed are those of
Gomphrena globosa, and the seeds may
be procured from any good seed house.
The colored bloom is not dyed, and
there ^re many other tints besides those
of the two flowers sent. Gomphrena
globosa should be sown in March or
April thinly in flats or frames, and
transplanted to the open ground when
the seedlings are large enough to
handle. H. E. Richards.

TO MAKE HYDRANGEAS BLUE.

We should like to grow blue hydran-
geas, but know preciously little about
their culture. We think the color is arti-
ficially produced by the application of
iron in some form to the roots of the
plants. In what form is the iron ap-
plied, and how often? T. L. C. — Cal.

It is believed by some growers that
by the use of certain chemical con-
stituents in the soil the color of hy-
drangeas can be changed. Some have
tried the use of iron filings incorpo-
rated with the soil, and believe these
have caused flowers to become blue
which previously were pink, or have
heightened the intensity of color in
those already blue. It is certain that
plants will frequently flower blue one
year and pink the next, and vice versa.
If you care to try the experiment, se-

cure some iron filings, or other small
iron particles, and mix them in your
compost at the rate of one quart of
filings to each bushel of soil. Per-
sonally, I cannot say definitely whether
iron will really make your flowers
blue, but it will no doubt help. Plants
grown near the seashore are usually
of a much more intense blue color than
those grown inland. The influence of
the salt air and the lower night tem-
perature seems to be quite favorable
to hydrangeas. Heavy feeding, if con-
tinued after the flower heads turn
white, will have a tendency to bleach
out the color of the flowers. C. W.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Business continues to show consid-
erable improvement and the prospects
are bright for a good season. Tlffe
better class flowers clean up daily at
the principal wholesalers' stores and
only a small percentage goes to the
waste barrel. Outdoor roses are im-

proving and I noted some especially
fine Cochets, both white and colored.
Chrysanthemums are coming from local
growers in excellent shape, Crocus be-
ing a great favorite in yellows. The
centaurea is still being used as a cheap,
showy flower, but cosmos is taking its
place to some extent. A limited supply
of valley and orchids finds a ready
market and Cecile Brunner roses are
again plentiful. The old Fair Maid
carnation, as seen around town of late,
is surely a winner and it is clear that,
with good culture, this old favorite
will hold its own with many of the
novelties.

Nursery business in small plants is
improving, but there is little encour-
agement in the larger orders. Ferns
and palms are in good demand and also
small, flowering vines. The greens
business continues good, but tile qual-
ity of the stock being sent in from the
northern woods is not as good as for-
merly.

fern which was given an award at the
San Francisco convention. This is a
distinct and beautiful thing which is
sure to become popular. His cycla-
mens, begonias and other stock are com-
ing strongly and in fine shape for
Christmas. Mr. Gutting has just re-
turned from Murrietta Springs, where
he took treatments for rheumatism.

Tony Tassano puts in a good deal of
time at the Glendale place, where fern
planting is now going on.

Walter Garbett, manager of Darling's
Flower Shop, is back at his post after
a severe illness. He reports business
good.

C. A. Brazee is sending in fine cen-
taureas from Wilmington.

At the Pasadena Horticultural So-
ciety's meeting, October 1, attempts
were made to induce the society to
postpone its show one week on purpose
to please a Los Angeles newspaper that
is backing a show in this 3Hy for ad-
vertising purposes on the same dates.
President Shields had already been pri-
vately approached along the same line.
The reception that the delegate re-
ceived must at least have convinced
him that the Pasadena brethren are not
to be fooled "all the time," either by
bluff or cajolery.

S. Murata & Co. report good busi-
ness and are making a fine show of
mums.

One of the most successful meetings
the Los Angeles Horticultural Society
has ever, held took place October 5, at
Kruckeberg's hall. Dr. Houghton was
the speaker of the evening and his sub-
ject was "Begonias." He has col-
lected a vast amount of data on the
oldest species and varieties of begonia
and he has a pleasing way of bringing
his subject down to a level that makes
it interesting to even the least scien-
tific minded of his audience. A large
assortment of specimens was used to
illustrate the lecture, these being for
the most part supplied by James Mc-
Gilvray, superintendent of Eastlake
park, and W. W. Felgate, of Sierra
Madre. The park specimens were
strongest in the species, but Mr. Fel-
gate 's varieties of the modern tuberous-
rooted kinds were superb. The attend-
ance was good and Dr. Houghton's re-
marks were listened to with the great-
est attention. A hearty vote of thanks
was given him at the close.

Howard M. Earl and W. Atlee Bur-
pee, Jr., both of W. Atlee Burpee &
Co., were in town last week, looking
over some of the local seed ranches.
They left October 6 for San Diego.

Friends of Mrs. M. W. Johansen, sec-
retary of the Johansen Seed Co., will
hear with regret that she has been seri-
ously ill for about six weeks. Mrs.
Johansen 's illness is in the nature of a
nervous breakdown from overwork, but
she is improving in health now and all
hope to see her around again shortly.

The new steam heating installation at
H. W. Turner's place, at Montebello, is
probably the best and most complete in
this section and will take care of his
heating troubles for a long time. Be-
sides the two large boilers, a new pump-
ing system has been put in to return
condensation water, and another to
supply pressure to the crude oil
used for fuel. The whole has been
covered in, and rests upon a foundation
that looks solid enough to withstand
German siege gun fire. The new roses
in the trial house are extremely inter-
esting, 300 different kinds being in

all the domestic, French and Irish nov-
elties. All are plainly labeled, so there
is no secrecy about the matter and any
grower who is interested can visit the
place and form his own conclusions.
The newer baby types are especially
beautiful- and well worth a visit. Mr.
Turner says that every rose grown can
be sold now. Of course the cut is not
quite so large as it' will be later, as the
older plants are now being pruned and
put in order for winter, but practically
all the young stock is in full work.

Beacon, they are of good quality. The
first locally grown Chromatelia and
Unaka mums have been cut. Limited
shipments of Crocus, Columbia, Queen
and Chrysolora have been received from
California. Eoses show the effect of
the recent favorable weather and ex-
cellent vases of them are on display.
Gladioli, dahlias, gypsophilas and heli-
anthus are the only varieties of outdoor
flowers now shown. Light frosts are
reported from near-by points, but in
the city the lowest temperature has
been about 40 degrees. Cattleya la-
biata is being cut, but the supply hard-
ly equals the demand;. Single violets
and the small Czar are appearing, but
the demand for them is light.

The city park bureau has accepted a
gift deed from S. Benson to a tract of
land which includes Multnomah falls,
a famous scenic locality in the Colum-
bia river canyon. This is in addition
to a previous gift by Mr. Benson of a
tract containing Gordon falls, in the
same district. A strong effort is be-
ing made to have the United States
government set off an are^ from the
forest reserve which adjoins these
tracts, which Mr. Benson says he will
purchase and add to his gift to the pub-
lic. These combined tracts would make
a park of about 1,000 acres, containing
some of the grandest scenery along the
Columbia highway.

In designing churches and public
buildings, the architects seldom con-
sider the value of floral decorations in
enhancing the attractiveness of the
buildings and make no provision for
boxes or beds of flowers. The designer
of the church of the Latter Day Saints,
recently finished at East Twenty-fifth
and Madison streets, has taken a step
forward in arranging permanent flower
boxes along one side and about the
buttressed entrances. All the boxes
are of concrete, with drain tubes. They
are filled with good bedding stock and
the pleasing effect should be an object
lesson to other architects. The street
parkings and spaces about the front of
the church are filled with rose bushes
and hardy ornamentals.

Clarke Bros, are showing some good
Mrs. C. W. Ward carnations from their

BAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

In spite of the absence of rain last
week, the cooler weather benefited all
seasonable stock. It is remarkable how
orders for decorations continue to be
numerous. Several important banquets
and weddings last week kept the down-
town stores busy. Shipping is active
and, with the improved express service,
a big season is promised.

There still are plenty of flowers and
it looks as though there will be much
small summer stock until the first se-
vere storm. Cosmos is plentiful.
Florists can obtain all they want of
statice, marigolds^ gaillardias, Shasta
daisies, amarantus, etc. Gladioli will
soon disappear; dahlias still are fine,
especially Burgle and Geisha. Asters
are about gone and there is little in-
crease in the supply of carnations.

Chrysanthemums are at their best and
the supply is large and of wide va-
riety. The Queens are unusually fine
and the first of a large cut of William
Turner are appearing. There are a
good many Portolas, large red and yel-
low, which find a fair demand. Bon-
naffons are just starting and some Clara
Wells have come in. Others that are
moving well are Chrysolora, Maud Jef-
fries, Mrs. O. H. Kahn, Chieftain and
Helen Bloodgood. Pompons are more
plentiful than ever and find a large de-
mand. The Chinese mums are doing
well.

Violets are in fair supply, but need
a good rain to bring them out in
quantity. Boses are moving well; a
lot of short stock that is usually dis-
carded finds a market, althoug*h good
long-stemmed roses are coming in.
Beauties show a marked improvement.
Handsome baskets of cattleyas are ar-
riving, mostly labiata, and an ample
supply for local needs is expected this
week. Gardenias still clean up readily.
Cyclamen blooms are in good demand
and the plants are doing well. The
market for ferns, palms and greens of
all kinds is strong.

Coast Society Meeting.

At the monthly meeting of the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society, the
lecture on "Wood Decay," by Profes-
sor Home, of the University of Cali-
fornia, came early in the evening and
was closely attended. A most interest-
ing feature of the evening was the ad-
mission of a number of prominent mem-
bers, whose names had been proposed
at the previous meeting. They were
Patrick Welch, of Boston; William F.
Kasting, of Buffalo; Charles Willis
Ward, of Eureka, Cal.; John Morley,
superintendent of parks at San Diego,
Cal.; Vincent Gorly, of St. Louis; C. B.
Knickman, of New York; Frank
Shearer, park superintendent of Los
Angeles; A. C. Zvolanek, of Lompoc,
Cal., and Walter Coles, of Kokomo, Ind.
The only new local member was H. Bol-
lenhagen.

The convention committee reported
most of the bills for advertising in the
ofiicial program paid. Hans Plath, of
the flower show committee, urged that

flower show October 21 to 26 should

THE TOUGHEST JOB.

When the American Association of
Nurserymen, at the Detroit convention
last June, adopted a new constitution
and by-laws involving a radical de-
parture from the methods of association
management in vogue for forty years,
it laid out a lot of hard work for its
officers, but on none of its committees
did it impose a greater task than was
created when, a little later in the ses-
sion, a resolution offered by J. R. May-
hew and seconded by F. W. Kelsey was
adopted, as follows:

That a committee of five representative mem-
bers be appointed a committee on arbitra-
tion to whom ;an be referred matters of con-
troversy between members of this association.
The refusal of any member to arbitrate a dif-
ference between members shall be ground for
dropping such members from the rolls of this
association.

As such board of arbitration Presi-
dent E. S. Welch appointed W. C. Reed,
Vincennes, Ind., chairman; G. A. Mar-
shall, Arlington, Neb.; A. E. Eobinson,
Lexington, Mass.; J. M. Pitkin, Newark,
N. Y., and L. A. Berkmans, Augusta,
Ga.

Thoroughly realizing the courage of
those who undertake to adjudicate dis-
putes with regard to deals in perish-
able articles for which there are no
recognized standards, The Review re-
cently asked Chairman Reed how his
board was getting on. This, in part,
was his reply:

"The arbitration committee of the
American Association of Nurserymen
has not become well enough organized
as yet to give you an idea, and so far
we have not had any definite claims
filed with us, although there are two or
three that are contemplating filing
same. It will take some time to work
out our plans and see what the results
may be."

TRANSPLANTING LABOE PECANS.

E. W. Kirkpatrick, of McKinney,
Tex., speaking at the annual session of
the Texas Nurserymen's Association,
told how he transplants pecan trees suc-
cessfully. Such trees may be trans-
planted safely, according to his expe-
rience, this only involving work and
some expense. It is easier in sandy
land than in black land. He usually
digs a trench around the trees, sawing

off the roots in taking them up, leaving
all the small roots possible, also sawing
off the tap root. In preparing the holes
for the trees dynamite is sometimes
used to get the ground loosened proper-
ly; good garden soil is used in the
bottom of the hole. He has transplant-
ed trees four to six inches in diameter
many times and never lost any. Just
a little extra expense in taking up a
pecan tree, taking care to get the soil
packed about the roots, would often
insure a fine growing tree. He said he
had seen pecan trees which had been
shipped long distances come out and
grow off nicely, although they looked
as if they were dead. It is a mistake,
^fl declared, to suppose that tiftcRun "«»"
not be transplanted: it is just a oii«>'!-
tion of care, patience and a little ex-
pense and trouble.

IMPEOVINQ THE SYCAMOEE.

I notice in The Review of September
30j page 70, in an excellent write-up
of the sycamore, the author refers to its
"dirty" habit of dropping its leaves
before autumn, as its only failing. I
agree with him that in the southwest,
at least, this is its only objection. This
objection, however, can be easily over-
come. The sycamore, after it has at-

tained a good size, has the habit of tak-
ing on in the spring more foliage than
it can support, and naturally when hot,
dry weather comes on, it begins to cast
off such leaves as it does not need. The
remedy is severe pruning.

Every five or six years, the entire
top should be cut off, leaving only a
bare trunk fifteen feet high. Such
branches as remain below this should be
cut back to within two feet of the
trunk. This spoils the looks of the
tree for a few months, but by mid-
summer the tree will have made a new
head of the densest and richest foliage
and not a leaf will fall before frost.
The next succeeding four or five years
the foliage will be rich and remain till
frost and the tree will be infinitely more
handsome than if it had never been
topped. This process may be repeated
every five or six years indefinitely.

The beautiful plane trees of Paris,
which are famous the world over, are
nothing but the sycamore. They are
treated in this way. This simple
process will obviate its only drawback
and make it, without question, the best
shade tree for city planting; this be-
cause of its ability to withstand the
smoke, dust and gases of the city, and
because it is practically immune to
scale, borer and other enemies.

Heavy rain storms attended by high
winds have been extremely disastrous
to outdoor flowers, especially to asters.

At the Genesee county fair, L. C.
Stroh & Sons had an unusual exhibit of
palms and ferns. Two models represent-
ing a bride and her bridesmaid, splen-
didly gowned and carrying the appro-
priate bouquets, were the chief at-
traction of the show.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Tlie Market.

The weather was fair and pleasant
until the end of last week, when it
turned cool, with a little frost of morn-
ings, but not enough to do any damage.
It was necessary to fire two or three
nights.

Business has been quiet for October.
Wedding work is plentiful, but funeral
work has been rather slack. Stock
is plentiful and the quality is improv-
ing as the weather becomes cooler.
Boses are much better than those of
two or three weeks ago. Carnations are
fair, though the stems still are short.
Chrysanthemums are beginning to come
in and, if nothing' happens, the crop
will be much larger and better than
ever before.

Various Notes.

C. W. Crouch is cutting some extra
fine Beauties for the season of the year,
as well as a large crop of other roses.
His chrysanthemums are good and the
crop is heavy.

A. H. Dailey soon will occupy a new
branch store on North Gay street, near
the Southern depot. This has the prom-
ise of being a good location, as it is
a busy center and is quite a distance
from any other flower shop.

Mrs. W. R. Ryno is receiving a large
number of wedding orders, which keep
her busy. She recently installed a
new boiler.

Addison J. McNutt is cutting about
the best carnations in the city. His
crop of snapdragons is good.

MILWAUEEE.

The Maxket.

The cold weather last week helped
business to some extent. There was
a material increase in sales as the de-
mand for flowers became larger. Stock
in general is scarce. There does not
seem to be a sufficient supply to go
around and it is difficult to take care
of all orders satisfactorily.

Boses are fine, but they are scarce,
with the possible exception of Ward
and Killarney. Carnations are arriv-
ing in larger quantities, but the de-
mand for them has increased faster
than the supply. The quality of carna-
tions is good and they would move
easily even if the supply were twice
as large. It is needless to say that
roses and carnations are cleaning up
each day at an early hour. The only
stock that is plentiful is the shorter
grade of rubrum lilies. There still are
a few asters and dahlias on the market,
but their quality is not good and it is
impossible to use them for shipping.
Local buyers are picking them up only
after all other stock is exhausted. Val-
ley remains scarce and is easily cleaned
up each morning.

The early chrysanthemums are about
gone and the late varieties have not as
yet appeared. The supply is small and
the quality is inferior. Violets are ar-
riving in small quantities, but not
enough to amount to anything. There
are a few double violets, but they are
not at all good. The single variety,
however, is in fine shape and sells

nicelv.

Club Meeting.

The Milwaukee Florists' Club had
an interesting meeting October 7. It
was proposed to stage an exhibit at
the Milwaukee Art Society, but this
was decided against on account of the
expense involved. The public does not
patronize anything of this nature
readily and the cash receipts are al-
ways problematical. A committee was
appointed to revise the premium list of
the annual state fair. The club is con-
sidering the possibility of entering a
bowling team in the tournament to be
held during the Cleveland show.

W. A. Kennedy, of the C. C. Poll-
worth Co., who recently returned from
an extended trip to the coast, has con-
sented to give a talk on his trip, illus-
trating his words with stereopticon
views. C. B. Whitnall is scheduled for
a talk at the next meeting. The at-
tendance is always large when Mr.
Whitnall consents to entertain.

The entertainment committee intends
to give the club members and their
friends an old-fashioned dance some-
time in the near future.

Various Notes.

F. Boyd August, of The Rosery, Win-
nipeg, Can., was a visitor here October
6. Mr. August visited the Brown Deer
plant of the Holton & Hunkel Co.

AVIATOR

$100.00 per 1000

There is at present no thoroughly satisfactory scarlet carna-
tion. We believe we have such a variety in Aviator and we have
decided to disseminate it, beginning delivery January 1, 1916.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NEW CARNATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT BY US SINCE
WE INTRODUCED ENCHANTRESS, AND YOU MAY BE SURE WE ARE CONFIDENT
IT'S GOOD OR WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR NAME AND REPUTATION BACK OF IT.

DESCRIPTION— Parents, red sport of Maceo and red seedling. Color, intense scarlet, very bright. Stem, thin, wiry
and stiff. , Flowers, fine, full and nicely fringed. Habit, clean; upright growth; every break makes a rapid advance, pro-
ducing a profusion of fine flowers in a very short time. The most prolific carnation ever offered to the trade, barring nont.
No disease, no grass, easy to propagate. There are larger reds offered, but Aviator will outbloom them 3 to 1. We have
plants of Aviator on which we can count 24 buds for the first crop and the houses easily average 15 buds per plant.

WE HAVE PLANTED 40,000 AVIATOR

One house is to be devoted exclusively to the production of cuttings. The other houses

are to produce blooms. INSPECTION INVITED.

At the Illinois State Fair. Springfield, September 21 to 23, on 11 entries we took 8 first prizes,
, 2 second prizes, 1 third prize. If you want first-class cut carnation blooms, order of us.

PITTSBURGH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has had a killing frost;
no more outside flowers from this sec-
tion. The market shows a decided im-
provement, with everything cleaned up
promptly and regularly for the first
time in a long while. The cut of roses
is gradually increasing. Carnations are
more plentiful, but still are not nearly
up to the demand. Lilies and valley
are still scarce, but chrysanthemums,
including Unaka, Polly Rose and
Chrysolora, are getting more plentiful
every day. Beauties have decreased in
supply considerably, but the tone of
the market is fine and there is just
enough snap about the weather to keep
everyone in a good humor.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met Tuesday eve-
ning, October 5. The subject was
dahlias. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co.,
White Marsh, Md., was the only out-
side exhibitor and had a fine collection.
Several private gardeners showed splen-
did collections of flowers, many of
them seedlings. We have heard much
in past years about the little bugs
wh\(eh destroyed all the dahlias in this
vicinity, but, after seeing the splendid
display grown right at home, one mem-
ber came to the conclusion that the
little bugs must have been in the fel-
lows' heads.

George Wessenauer, the spray man,
of Sewickley, also brought in a lot of
fruit, to show that we can grow per-
fect fruit right in the city if we will
only spray our trees scientifically.

The meeting was most interesting
and a good crowd was present.

Various Notes.

Harvey Sheaf returned October 11
from the Pacific coast. He looked fine
and reported a splendid time.

John R. Bracken, landscape archi-
tect for the A. W. Smith Co., gave an
illustrated lecture at the East Liberty
y. M. C. A. on ^"Landscape Architec-
ture and the Ornamentation of Home
Grounds." This was the first of a
series of lectures aiming to create a
greater interest in scientifically doing
the work which, in the past, the aver-
age builder has hired a laborer to do.

Clinton, Mass. — The Sawyer Floral
Co. recently received an order for 35,000

GERANIUMS

It is the consensus of opinion that the supply of Gera-
niums is going to be somewhat short this coming season, on
account of so many growers being short of stock plants.
Our stock was never in better condition than it is now,, so
that we anticipate no difficulty whatever in filling orders;
but at the same time we would suggest that the surest way
is to let us book your order at an early date. New cata-
logue and price list for 1916 is ready for distribution; a
request will bring it if accompanied by a business card.

We have a splendid lot of Geraniums in 3-inch pots, ready for
shipment, just right for the southern trade or winter blooming,
$3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

Coleus, Moonvines, Heliotropes, Lemon Verbenas, Parlor

The Florists' Rcvkw

OCTOBIB 14, 1016.

VINCENNES, INp.

Paul C. Schultz was born to be a Sl*?-
rist. He did not exactly grow up in
a greenhouse, although -his boyhood
playground was under the glass of two
small houses his mother had erected for
her own pleasure. Before he learned
his A, B, Cs, he was familiar with
flowers and well on the way to become
a florist.

Mr. Schultz was as much at home in
the greenhouses as the flowers. And
none of the defects of hothouse culture
developed in him as a result of the
artificial atmosphere^ as his business
success will prove. It was an easy
step into the business. The recreation
spot of twenty-five years ago is still
the site of a greenhouse and he is the
owner. But where his mother had only
two diminutive greenhouses he has six
houses with 20,000 square feet of glass.

It was at the age of 15 years that
he resolved to become a commercial
grower. His mother started a florists'
business at that time, purchasing prop-
erty for the purpose in the same block.
as their home. Shortly afterward Mr.
Schultz, then 16 years old, left for Chi-
cago to work as an apprentice in a
large greenhouse, so that he might
learn more about the business. Later
he returned home and the firm of Mrs.
C. W. Schultz & Son was established.
In 1906, when he was 21 years of age,
the business was transferred to him
and has since been conducted under his
name.

One at a time Mr. Schultz has added
new greenhouses until now he has six.
He still uses the office which he him-
self bought for the sum of $20 when
his mother made the first investment.
The money was the savings which had
accumulated in a dime savings bank.
When he bought the office building, he
says, it marked the beginning of an
excessive desire to erect more houses.

All of this was what Mr. Schultz told
the members of the Rotary Club in his
city in an address recently. As a Eo-
tarian he gained the opportunity to tell
his business associates about his busi-
ness career in the fashion of Rotarians
in the mutual exchange of experiences
and opinions. At the conclusion of his
speech he extended an invitation to the
members and their friends to visit his
plant and see the scientific way of
growing flowers, which is an indication
that Mr. Schultz is alive to the advan-
tages of the Rotarian policy of business-
social intercourse carried on as one.

The Florists' Review

OCTOBEE 14, 1915.

SYEACUSE, N. Y.

Tile Market.

The fall weather has improved busi-
ness. Outdoor flowers are nearly gone,
though there has been no heavy frost.
Boses and carnations are scarce and
not equal to the demand. Golden Glow
chrysanthemums are about gone. Ad-
vance and Unaka are the main va-
rieties on the market now.

Various Notes.

At Gus Bartholme's greenhouses
everything looks fine. His carnations
never looked better. He is growing
Enchantress Supreme, Matchless and
Philadelphia. His show rooms are filled
with palms, ferns and begonias.

Peter Kay, of the Woodlawn ceme-
tery greenhouses, has everything in fine
shape. He grows thousands of bedding
plants, carnations and chrysanthemums.

The Syracuse Florists' Association
will hold a chrysanthemum show, No-
vember 4 to 6.

The W. E. Day Co. has an attractive
window of dahlias. A large wedding
October 18, will call for 500 white
mums.

Warner Bultmann has been busy with
funeral work. He says it has been
hard to get enough roses and carna-
tions.

Henry Morris is having a good sale
of ferns this fall and says business
with him was never better at this time
of year.

The Baker Floral Co. is busy plant-
ing bulbs. The Baker growers will
force 80,000 this year. They are just
cutting Chrysolora mums. These are
excellent flowers and are quickly dis-
posed of. They have found the demand
for early mums this year better than
ever before. They have been cutting
mums since September 1. H. F, B,

Balelgh, N. C— E. M. Hall, formerly
in the florists' business at Fairmont,
W. Va., has purchased the Kaleigh
Floral Co., at Jones and Seawell ave-
nues. The range will be enlarged and
improvements made.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSOBIBEEUS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for 70U. The greenhouse heating
•quipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
ield of its adaptation.

PIPING AN 11-FOOT HOUSE.

Will you please give me some infor-
mation about the piping of a green-
house 11x21 and four feet four inches
high to the eaves? The side walls con-
sist of three feet of double sheathing
and sixteen inches of glass. The
rafters are six and one-half feet long.
I shall use a hot water system and I
want a temperature of 55 degrees when
the outside temperature is 10 degrees
below zero. Kindly tell me how much
pipe will be needed in the coils, stat-
ing the size of the flow and returns. I
intend to place a flow at the top of
the house, with branches leading to
coils on the side walls.

G. S. B.— Ohio.

To heat the house described to 55 de-
grees, I would start from the boiler
with a 2%-inch flow pipe and carry it
under the ridge to the farther end of
the house, where I would drop it be-
low the bottom of the glass in the end
wall and, dividing it into two 2-inch
pipes, connect with two coils, each
•containing three 2-inch returns. These
-should run to the respective corners of
the house and then along the side walls
to the boiler end, where they should be
■connected with the main 2^-inch re-
turn leading to the boiler.

ENIiABGING AND BEFIPING.

Enclosed you will find a sketch of
two houses. The one at present in use
is 16x25. The other will be an exten-
sion of the present house and will be
16x42. Please tell me the best method
of piping them both for hot water
heat, and state the amount of radiation
that will be required in this climate,
where the lowest outside temperature is
about 6 degrees below zero. I am
burning hard coal. At present the
smaller house has a 2i^-inch flow under
each side bench. These are connected
to six 2-inch pipes twenty-four feet
long, and also to six 2-inch pipes six
feet long, under a bench at the end

WNEN YOU BUY-Qlhr A KROKSCHKLL-

ICY

Do you want true heatine values for your money? Many
florists, to their sorrow, have made the mistake of buying^
cast iron boiler*, which, because of their ratines, appeared
to be cheaper than the Kroeschell boiler.

The extravacant ratlnKs of cast Iron boilers are misleading, and
liave been the cause of much disappointment and serious trouble to
many sro^vers. The fuel waste is enormous when oast Iron boilers
are used for commercial purposes, such as sreenhouse heatlnar.

Do not make a mistake when selecting your new boiler;
£et a Kroeschell and yoa will never be disappointed.

Expressions From Hen Who Know Boilers

Range of Alexander A. Laub, New Hamburg:, N. Y., heated by No. 6 Kroeschell

Boiler.

We do not have to Are our boiler as often as our brother florists
who are using: different malces. The Kroeschell has replaced three
cast iron sectional boilers, and it certainly has given entire satis-
faction.

It only takes a few words to express the grood quality of your boilers
and they are as follows: "Of all Arms handling boilers and advertising
them truthfully, the party buying a boiler would have to get the
Kroeschell, as you are certainly advertising nothing but facts."

(Signed) ALEXANDER A. LAUB.

grade carnations. No. 13 Kroeschell heats entire plant.

Enclosed find photo showing partial view of my range which you
are at liberty to use in connection with any advertisement you see fit.
In regard to the No. 13 Kroeschell Boiler, we are now using it for
the fifth season. The long«r we use it the better we like it. It has
taken the place of four cast iron boilers at a big saving of coal and
labo^. No matter what the weather is outside we have no trouble
whatever in keeping the temperature Just where we want it.

January 10, 1912, North Grafton, Mass.

Range of H. M. Totman, Randolph, Vt. — the largest cut flower establishment in
Vermont. No. 7 Kroeschell heats the entire plant.

Your No. 7 Kroeschell Boiler rated at 15,000 sq. ft. of glass is car-
rying my entire range of 17,000 sq. ft. of glass — It might heat more.
We maintain a temperature of 50° and have no trouble to keep the
proper temperatures In the coldest weather. During the cold snap
of 1912 we fired every three hours during the night; I find it a sav-
ing in fuel to fire often. I have the Kroeschell Boiler six years
and the only expense Is one set of grates. No other but a plate
boiler for me.

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED

Jiiiliiil strictly icctrriim !• ncchMical merits, it's
the MCTROraUTiM PATENTED BOILEiUlyon Iwant.J .

Because of their proven sclentlflcaUy perfect con-
atmctlon. Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heat a
Riven amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heatinK efliclency and quick
steaminK qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler

The Florists' Review

OCTOBKB 14, 1915.

The inquiry does not state what tem-
perature is desired in the old house, but
x£ 60 degrees will suffice, with 50 to 55
degrees in the new house, I would sug-
gest the use of two 2% -inch flow pipes
the entire length of the building, with
eight 2-inch returns, placing one flow
and four returns on each side.

The circulation would be improved by
placing the flow pipes on the wall
plates, or, better yet, about two feet
below the ridge, as it would then be
possible to start with the coils at the
middle of the east end of the house,
and this might be necessary in order
to keep out the frost on cold nights
when there is a high wind from the
east.

BOILEB WILL BE TOO SMALL.

I have just added a house alongside
the one I already had, as shown in the
enclosed sketch, and I wish to know
how much pipe will be needed to heat
the new house to a temperature of 55
■degrees in zero weather. The piping in
the old house consists of one 3-inch
flow and four returns in the center, and
one 2%-inch flow under the purlin on
each side, to feed the side coils, each
of which is composed of five 1^-inch
returns.

I have extended the boiler room
across the end of the new house. Can
I continue the main from the boiler to
the center of the new house, to be con-
nected with the new piping? Would
you pipe the new house according to the
same plan as is used in the old one,
and how much new piping will be need-
ed? Will the five returns under the
gutter be enough to keep the snow
melted? Can I heat the two houses
with my present boiler, which is rated'
for 750 square feet? It is a round, up-
right boiler, with a 17-inch grate. How
much glass surface have I and how
much radiation will be needed? State
the size of mains and returns. If the
boiler is not large enough, can I success-
fully couple it with another boiler?
Can I use a mercury system with an
open hot water system?

J. O. S.— N. Y.

The sketch shows the old house to be
20x30, with one exposed wall, boarded
to the eaves. The new house adjoins
the old one on the east and has double
flashes on the east side. This house is
27x30. As nearly as can be estimated
from the data furnished, the old house
has 860 square feet of glass, besides
240 square feet of wooden wall, equiva-
lent to about fifty square feet of glass.
The new house has 1,270 square feet of
glass and eighty - one square feet of
wooden wall. The piping in the old
house is not far from 275 square feet,
which should furnish a temperature of
-55 to 60 degrees in zero weather.

In the other house I would suggest
the use of three 2i^-inch flow pipes
and thirteen 2-inch returns. One of
the flows should be placed under each
purlin and the other four feet below
the ridge. Five of the returns should
be on the outer wall, and four in coils
on the inner wall and under the middle
bench. With five 1%-inch pipes in one
house and four 2-inch pipes in the
other, on the center wall, there should
be no trouble from ice. If preferred,
seven l^^-inch pipes maj' be used on
the outer wall and six in each of the
other coils, in place of the thirteen 2-
inch pipes already specified. The 3-inch
main from the boiler may be continued

The Florists' Review

OCTOBKB 14, 1915.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Trade has been rather brisk for the
last week or so. There has been quite
a demand for funeral work and it has
created a shortage, especially on mums
and carnations; there have not been
enough of either and there was a scram-
ble October 10 for stock of any kind.
We have had a couple of frosts, which
no doubt are responsible for part of
the increasing demand for indoor stock,
as about all of the outdoor stock is
badly damaged.

Boses are fine and nearly plentiful
enough to meet the demand, outside of
Ophelia and Sunburst. Beauties are
rather scarce, with the demand not
heavy. Carnations are improving
daily, but the stems are still a little
short. They have cleaned up daily.
Mums are coming in more plentifully
and find a good demand. They are
still a little green, but do nicely in
a pinch. The leading varieties are Pa-
cific, Estelle, Chrysolora, Halliday and
quite a few Early Snow. Valley has
been scarce of late, with demand rather
heavy at times. Lilies are a little
more plentiful, with demand about
equal to the supply.

There have been few potted mums
as yet, with a great many calls for
them. Bulbs are moving nicely and it
looks as though the demand will be
about as usuid.

Various Notes.

Sherman Stephens is getting along
nicely and puts in some of his time
again at the old stand, where he re-
ceives the congratulations of a host of
friends. He has had a long, hard ill-
ness.

Mr. Clark, in charge of the flower
department of the Green-Joyce Co., re-
ports trade as good. J. M.

BEADING, PA.

The Market.

Business continues to improve, largely
because of weddings and parties requir-
ing the better grade of stock. Funeral
work is lively. Cut flowers are in good
supply, with the exception of carna-
tions, which are scarce as a result of
clouded weather conditions. Dahlias
are plentiful, but move slowly. Mums
find a ready sale and good prices are
being realized. Easter lilies are short
in supply. Plenty of outdoor flowers
are available and prices on good stock
rule low. No frosts have occurred as
yet.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the local re-
tail florists* organization was held in
its rooms in the Moore building, Octo-
ber 7, and was addressed by William
Girvin, of Leola, Pa., on "Carnations
from Wholesalers."

J. C. Bauder reports a heavy booking
of October weddings and parties. Fu-
neral work at this store requires the
full force of help to fill orders.

William Kern, of Hyde Park, has com-
pleted the planting of several large or-
ders of hardy stock, of which he makes
a specialty.

Lee P. Arnold, Heck Bros., and
Lajrton Butts, all of Wyomissing, Pa.,
report that business in September was
better than in the same month last year.

The Florists^ Review

OCTOBBB 14, 1915.

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

We experienced a heavy frost Octo-
Toer 9, which did considerable damage
"to all outdoor stock, particularly in
the suburban districts. The florists had
been expecting a killing frost for sev-
» «ral weeks. Market conditions have
changed greatly and are assuming the
aspect of winter. Chrysanthemums and
■other greenhouse stock are rapidly tak-
ing the place of the numerous dahlias,
asters, etc., that have carried the mar-
ket during the last month. Pink Octo-
laer Frost and Chrysolora are the best
varieties. Early Snow has made its
appearance. Gladioli have seen their
£nish. American Beauties are not in
•oversupply at present. Shawyer, Sun-
burst and Richmond roses are in big
demand. Valley has a good call for
wedding decorations. Carnations are
improving, but they are not any too
plentiful. Prices are good. Easter
lilies are not so plentiful as a few
weeks ago and consequently sell quick-
ly. Southern smilax has been used in
•quantities for decorations.

Various Notes.

The fine pink October Frosts seen on
■the market last week were from the
"W. J. & M. S. Vesey greenhouses.

The Flick Floral Co. had the deco-
rations and bouquets for a large wed-
-ding last week. The decorations were
carried out, in autumnal colors, with
French baskets of roses and single
chrysanthemums. The bride's bouquet
consisted of white orchids and lilies of
the valley. A large number of corsages
were shipped by this firm for an out-
of-town dance.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Blossom re-
turned from a motor trip to Rockford,
O., October 3.

G. W. Doswell & Son are cutting
early chrysanthemums, chiefly Golden
Glow, October Frost and Smith's Ad-
vance. R. F.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business was fairly good last week.
The demand was steady and active,
and easily took up all good stock. The
shipping bushiess, too, was good.
Boses are in good supply and are meet-
ing with a ready sale. Carnations are
being moved without much trouble.
The cut of chrysanthemums is much
heavier than it was and in another
week they should be quite plentiful.
Easter lilies have been meeting with
an active demand. A killing frost last
week took most of the dahlias and
cosmos out of the market. Other of-
ferings include rubnim lilies, orchids,
valley and a few snapdragons.

Various Notes.

L. H, Kyrk was the first wholesaler
to offer single violets this fall. They
were from George Klotter's place.

C. E. Critchell is not waiting until
the last minute to put boxwood in
storage. He has been at it almost
every day since the cooler weather
came.

A. Sunderbruch 's Sons had an ex-
ceedingly busy time with decorative
work last week. .

Among recent visitors was C. P.
Brunner, of Springfield, O. C. H. H.

BUFFALO, N. Y.

The Market.

Now that real fall weather has made
its appearance, the wholesalers are
having considerable trouble in pleasing
the buyers. Stock of every description
has become extremely scarce. Good-
sized shipments of roses arrive each
morning, but they are sold before they
are unpacked. American Beauties sell
at a moderate price and are not by any
means too plentiful. The supply of car-
nations increases as their quality im-
proves. Gladioli and asters are less
prominent than a week ago. Dahlias
are few. Easter lilies experience a
brisk demand. The heavy rains have
put an end to most outdoor stock, caus-
ing a sharp advance in prices. Greens
of all kinds sell easily.

Vaiious Notes,

The Buffalo Florists' Club held a
farewell smoker October 5 in honor of
Joseph Streit, who leaves shortly for
Detroit to start a partnership with
Michael Bloy, of that city. Mr. Streit
has been associated with S. A. Ander-
son for the last thirteen years. He was
an indefatigable club worker. Whether
the function was social or just plain
business, Mr. Streit could always be
found boosting the affair along. The
bowling club will miss the lucky
strikes that usually happened on Mr.
Streit 's alley. By way of showing
their appreciation, the team mates
joined the order of the "Yellow Dogs,"
of which Mr. Streit is the most active
member. The smoker was a great suc-
cess and the means by which the trade
extended its wishes of good luck and
big business to the departing friend.

William Ehman, of Corfu, N. Y., is
the man responsible for the first-class
Unaka mums seen on the market last
week.

Louis Neubeck, Jr., has become a
student at the establishment of the
Robert Craig Co., of Philadelphia.

The display window at the branch
store of W. J. Palmer & Son, consist-
ing of a windmill, a pond, goldfish and
turtles, continues to interest the pass-
ers-by. A. E.

SCBANTON, FA.

The Market.

Business shows a big improvement
over last week. There have been sev-
eral weddings, with other social func-
tions, which have kept us busy. There
also has been a good demand for fu-
neral work. There seems to be a short-
age of carnations in this locality.
Chrysanthemums also are scarce, due
to the early varieties being about done
for. Boses are plentiful and are bring-
ing good prices. Dahlias also are much
in demand. Other stocks are up to the
standard.

Various Notes.

A. L. Besancon & Co. report a busy
week in funeral and wedding work.
A pretty compliment has been paid to
Miss Besancon, who was selected by
Miss Helen Johnson, of New Bruns-
wick, N. J., to take charge of the
elaborate church and home decorations
for her wedding. Miss Johnson was so
much impressed with the artistic work
of Miss Besancon at the time of the
marriage of Miss Marion Jones that
she decided to engage her for her own
wedding.

Baldwin had the decoration and
bouquets for the Hirchfield-Cohen wed-
ding at the Hotel Casey.

Schultheis has a pretty window dis-
play, with autumn leaves and mums.

G. R. Clark is cutting fine dahlias at
his gardens, for which he finds a ready
call. F. J. M.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Maxket.

The last week saw three killing
frosts and the trade rejoices, for there
will be no more outdoor flowers to
speak of. Dahlias are not entirely de-
stroyed in some places, but they will
not cut any figure in the market. Even
cosmos has suffered. It is too soon for
the picking up in business that the
change in weather is sure to bring, but
already things are strengthening. Last
week business was good all over town
and there were more wholesale orders
than for some time.

The bulb business is expected to pick
up now that the bedding plants are
frosted. Business has been pretty good
already, and here we can note that
the Holland travelers already are in
our midst, one or two every day, try-
ing to get orders for next season.

Some of the trade here have received
notice that their azaleas have left
Europe and may be expected at any
time. This is a distinct disappoint-
ment to many who felt there would be
no azaleas and so have made provision
for other things to take their place.

There has been little change in the
supply of cut flowers during the week,
except that there are many more chrys-
anthemums. These are selling well.
There have been no pot mums on the
market thus far. F. B.

OTJTTINaS DAMPING OFF.

I have trouble in rooting geraniums
and carnations, and almost everything
else that I try. I use bar sand in
raised benches, with heat under them;
the pipes are about two and one-half
feet below the benches. I have tried
almost every place in the house, but
without success. They appear to rot
off at the surface of the sand. Do
you think the sand is not good? It
may have too much loam in it.

M. P. F. C— Pa.

Your sand is probably too fine and
too dirty. You cannot afford to have
any loam mixed with it if you want
cuttings to root in it. If you cannot
secure better sand and it does not pass
water freely enough through it, you
can improve it by adding some fine
charcoal or even coal ashes, which will
help to provide porosity. A sharp sand
is the best for propagating purposes
and it should not be taken from a wood
or near trees. It must also be removed
each season. To help kill any fungoid
germs in your sand, soak it with water
as near the boiling point as possible
when it is clear of cuttings. The ma-
jority of cuttings like some bottom
heat, and if your sand is sharp and well
drained, quite frequent waterings
should not cause damping off. C. W.

MAKINQ LEAF-MOLD.

We are beginners, and should like to
know just how to make leaf-mold.
We can get' sugar maple, elm, sycamore,
catalpa, black locust and Carolina pop-
lar leaves, but do not know which of
these would be most suitable for our
work, or how they should be handled
in order to get them in shape in the
sLortest time possible. C. F. B.

Of the leaves mentioned, for the
making of leaf-mold I should prefer
sycamore, sugar maple, elm, catalpa,
black locust and Carolina poplar in the
order named. Just what will be the
best method of composting them will
depend to some extent upon the plants
for which the leaf-mold is to be used,
since the addition of at least flflyrer
cent of fresh or slightly decomposed
horse manure, containing a little wet
straw, would give quick results, but
might be more manure than would be
needed for the plants.

I should compost the leaves by plac-
ing them in a bed, with alternate lay-
ers of manure, adding a small amount
of water if the leaves are dry. When
the pile is three or four feet high, cover
it with either manure or sod, to weigh
it down and make it compact. In a
week, or before if rapid fermentation
has set in, fork over the mass, placing
the outer portions in the center of the
pile, and add more water unless the
leaves have a moist appearance. One
or two additional workings will be
necessary for quick results. T.

St. Joseph, Mo.— The Stuppy Floral
€o. is one of the oldest concerns in the
trade in the southwest. The business
was stai-ted in 1870, by Lawrence J.
Stuppy, now deceased. In the begin-
ning the glass was all in hotbed sashes,
the first greenhouse not being built until
1873. The corporation was formed in
1904, the present oflScers being: Presi-
dent, Frank X. Stuppy; vice-president
and secretary, John J. Stuppy; treas-
urer, Mrs. Anne E. Stuppy.

MABIQOLDS FOR SPEING TBADE.

Will you please tell me when to plant
marigold seed so that I can have plants
with three to five blooms, in 5-inch
pots, by May 25? K. C. B.— Ind.

Sow the seed the first week in March
and it will be in ample time. C. W.

State Camp, Fla. — Harold J. Patten,
of Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., and
Donald E. Chase, of Medford, Ore, an
orchardist, are here shooting in the
national rifle matches.

Houston, Tex. — John J. Boyle has
severed his connection with the Forest-
dale Flower Shop, of which he has been
manager for the last five years, and
is considering the possibility of enter-
ing business for himself. Mr. Boyle
only recently returned from Guatemala,
where he had gone to gather rare
orchids.

Johnstown, Pa. — In this year's trade
exposition, Smidt the Florist was well
represented by a large float featuring
the name in smilax and decorated with
red and white cosmos, palms and ferns.
P. E, Bower, manager, says the crowd
was well pleased with his entry, be-
cause it was a solace to the eyes after
a long line of eyesores.

New Orleans, La. — H, C. Doescher
was one of the heaviest losers in the
recent severe storm, seven houses being
badly damaged and much of the stock
destroyed. Mr. Doescher states that
at his place the wind traveled 120 miles
an hour. A few florists escaped loss,
but nearly all suffered more or less
damage, but have been busy repairing
and have things pretty well cleaned up.

Hutchinson, Kan. — John Stamm, old-
est and best known florist in Hutchin-
son, has retired from the business. Mr.
Stamm closed a deal September 30 for
the sale of the stock and fixtures of
his greenhouse range and store and the
leasing of his property. After twenty-
five busy years, Mr. Stamm says he
feels entitled to a long rest. His suc-
cessors are Leonard Marston, a land-
scape gardener, and Fay Smith, real
estate dealer.

The Florists^ Review

WHY BUCK
AGAINST THE MEVITABLE?

What's the good in trying to get a half-nelson on the inevitable? What's the use in trying to row against
a swift current, when you may as well easily and profitably float with the tide ?

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
is 80 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 certified material, which is nothing
less than "Tank Grade" Cypress.

Of course you want PECKY CYPRESS, however, for your benches. And that is cheap enough to suit
anybody— and for such homely uses lasts longer than grades costing more.

DEBUTANTE DOINGS »
X DEVELOP DOLLARS

Since time immemorial the social butterfly, emerging from the cocoon of
adolescence, ha^ occupied a conspicuous plaice in t^e, cosmos, until today the
debutante brings large sums of her admirers' mo'^^y.Jo the coffers of florists.
It is a business where quality and novelty count. ^'

CCORDING to Webster a
da-bii-tont' is "a woman
appearing for the first
time before the public or
in society; specifically, an
actress or singer making
her first appearance in
public, or a young woman
during her first season in
society," but according to
a florist a debutante is a spring, the
source of a rill of pure gold, which, fed
by other streams drawn to it, becomes,
in late autumn, a river, sometimes a
broad, deep river, enriching as it flows,
as well as the retailer, the growers far
and near.

For the debutante receives many
flowers — fine flowers.

It may be argued that the doings of
the debutantes affect only the retailers
who cater to those who hold positions
in society, that they do not interest the
store men who derive their patronage
from those outside the social pale. But
is that truef "What of the effect on
the marietst The early-bird debutante
and the first frost ordinarily make their
appearance together and one has al-
most as much effect as the other ii.
putting life into the summer's lacka-
daisical demand for
greenhouse fiowers.

For one can't send
a debutante garden
flowers.

Gift flowers never
can be cheap flowers
— they nlust be the
best. And the de-
mand for quality al-
ways advances prices
— advances even the
prices of the stock
not good enough for
the quality buyer,
because, as one whole-
saler used to argue,
when the best is
gone the best of what
is left becomes the
best and is worth the
best prices — if one
can get them! At
any rate, when buy-
ers are bidding for
the privilege of se-
lection it means that
everyone becomes
filled with renewed
enthusiasm and takes
hold with new zest.

For there's noth-
ing like a crowd to
loosen purse-strings.

The more flowers

the first debutante has, the more the
next one will get. People send flowers
because it is de rigueur, the right
thing to do, and the social elect are au
fait, so to speak, well instructed. In
any flrst-class American city a group
of twenty or thirty girls of debutante
age means a big season's business for
the half dozen or so florists who make
pretense of catering to that class of
trade. It's a difficult business to break
into, but, once established, it's like
Tennyson's celebrated brook — it goes
on forever.

For there is a new crop of debu-
tantes each year.

When Alice Roosevelt had her com-
ing-out party at the White House the
debutante bouquets came in showers.
There were hundreds of them; so many
that it was necessary to provide a
means of displaying them, and a rack
was built to hold them.

For everyone who sends flowers must
see them, be it funeral or reception.

One of the features of the debutante
flowers that people do not like, and yet
are responsible for, is their sameness.
They always have been, and always are,
alike, according to their period, as
everyone sends the same thing, the ar-

rangement that has the approval of
custom. The old-fashioned bouquet was
what grandmother had for her debut.
Mother had a looser bunch, but the
next generation was back to grand-
mother's style, elaborated, embe^Ushe4,
beautified and much more costly, but
still the old-fashioned formal bouquet.
Today there's need for a change and
the stores that supply the bulk of
these flowers are trying out various nov-
elties, as well as sending many fine
boxes and baskets of loose cut flowers.

For baskets of flowers are appropriate
for every occasion.

"The debutante season has, become a
great factor in the florists' business,
especially so in the large cities," says
Albert Pochelon, of Detroit, who has his
finger on the pulse of this phase of trade
activities because of the considerable
number of telegraph orders for debu-
^tantfi flowers .and his position as secre-
tary of the F. T. D. "We have in De-
troit this autumn from thirty-five to
forty prominent families with daugh-
ters to be formally introduced to so-
ciety and each of the leading retail
stores is sure of a number of good or-
ders for each of these parties. Also,
quite a few of the orders will come
from out-of-town by
mail and telegraph."

For debutantes have
distant friends who
don't forget.

"But it is time we
retailers put some
originality into debu-
tante flowers, ' ' con-
tinued Mr. Pochelon.
"Bouquets are called
for more than ever
before, but it is only
because people don't
know what else to
send, unless it is a
basket. And after
the affair is over we
hear the flowers were
fine, but too much
alike. We retailers
will be starting some-
thing of advantage
to ourselves and to
the whole trade when
a lot of us get to
working up good nov-
elties to send to the
debutantes. Stir up
the thinkers and get
them to show their
ideas in The Re-
view," andMr. Poch-
elon accordingly

of photographs of his own debutante
novelties.

For the live florist practices what he
preaches.

One of Mr. Pochelon's debutante ar-
rangements is a leghorn hat trimmed
with cypripediums, phalsenopsis and rib-
bon, making a pleasing although not
altogether novel departure from the con-
ventional style. The difficulty with the
creation of novelties in the retail flower
business lies in the fact that the new
idea, worked out, is more likely than
not to be \a freak arrangement — inter-
esting, from the point of view of the
customers, but not salable in any
quantity.

For wealth is conservative, and the
best flower buyers are wealthy.

Mr. Pochelon's "Little Debutante of
1812 " is a more original conception and
one that, displayed in his show win-
dow, is doing more than a little to in-
crease the sale of debutante flowers,
even though a good many of the cus-
tomew' cli*wn by the suggestion into
purchasing prefer the established type
of bouquet. In making the debutante
of 1812 a doll head is used, fastened on
the wire frame of a wedding bell, which
is filled with moss, with one of the Kif t
vases embedded in it for the stem of
the bouquet. The flowers are added
after the fluffy-ruffle skirt. The colors
ordinarily are white, pink, de^ pink,
soft blue and nile. By placing the ar-
rangement in a choice fern dish its
safety is assured.

For the man who neglects to provide
against moisture and rough handling
loses out.

No doubt there are a large number
of retailers in The Eeview family ;^o
have devised original arrangements of
debutante flowers and the publication
of the pictures will serve to still fur-
ther stimulate the creative faculties
of those who are in position to try out
their ideas. The Eeview will be pleased
to receive photographs for reproduction
and discussion.

For The Eeview is the forum in which
the trade debates its problems.

Some publicity!

FIVE MILLION VISITORS.

If Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y.,
were to remark that by Christmas time
more than 5,000,000 people will have
seen his gladiolus fields of last sum-
mer, his audience would be sorely
tempted to disbelieve him. But Mr.
Cowee would ' be absolutely correct in
his statement. How he will attain so
vast a publicity will become apparent
at once.

A troupe of motion picture actors
descended on Mr. Cowee 's farm last
summer and spent ten days there film-
ing a 4-reel photoplay, entitled "Qla-
diola." In due course of time the films
have been developed and are now be-
ing shown throughout this country and
in Europe. According to statistics,
every motion picture is witnessed by
more than 5,000,000 movie fans. Con-
sequently, Mr. Cowee 's gladioli will be
displayed before as many people as
there are in the city of New York.

As the plot of the play is unfolded
upon the screen, the spectator sees Mr.
Cowee 's acres of gladioli, nestling
among the green hills of northeastern
New York. The splendid photography
also pictures Mr. Cowee 's spick-and-

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee of the
American Eose Society held a meeting
in New York October 11, President
Pennock presiding. The matter of the
annual bulletin with the proceedings
for 1915 was gone over, with the idea
of making improvements in this publi-~
cation, and the J. H. McFarland Co., of
Harrisburg, Pa., made a proposition to
issue it in a much better form than here-
tofore. This proposition was accepted
and the next issue will come out after
January 1, embodying the transactions
of the year and containing colored illus-
trations.

The matter of cost of affiliated mem-
bership was taken up in detail. At pres-

ent the affiliated membership is 10 cents
per member. After careful considera-
tion it was moved that the associate
membership be changed from 10 cents to
25 cents per member, this change to be
put into effect January 1, 1916.

The premium list for the exhibition
of 1916, to be held at the National
Flower Show in Philadelphia, from
March 25 to April 2, was submitted and
gone over carefully, covering roses in
pots and tubs, table decorations, blooms
by commercial growers and blooms by
private growers. The total amount of
premiums to be awarded is $2,500. A
special prize of $10 is offered for the
prettiest exhibition of roses, the winner
to be decided by a vote of the lady
visitors. The final adjustment of the
schedule of prizes was referred to a
committee composed of Messrs. Pen-
nock and Eeuter.

C. T. Tansill, of the Washington Test
Garden Committee, tendered his resig-
nation and it was moved that William
F. Qude, of Washington, D. C, be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Gode
has accepted the position. A new rose
was reported for registration and was
referred for proper consideration.

The Cleveland flower show, to be
held November 10 to 14, was discussed
and arrangements made to call a regu-
lar meeting of the society at that time
for the consideration of any matters
pertaining to the best interests of the
society.

The Cleveland flower show has placed
at the disposal of the American Eose
Society the sum of $700 in prizes. There
has been added to that a special prize
of $25 by Robert Scott & Son, of
Sharon Hill, Pa., for fifty blooms of
Killarney Brilliant rose. A. N. Pier-
s n. Inc., offers $25 for the best fifty
blooms of Eose Hadley, and Benjamin
Hammond offers a cash prize of $10
for the prettiest exhibition of roses,
the wiriner to be decided by vote of the
lady visitors. A' silver cup is offered
by the (Lamborn Floral Co., of Alliance,
O.; a silver medal by Vaughan's Seed
Store, of New York and Chicago, and
$10 in cash by W. Atlee Burpee & Co.

The judges, for the American Eose
Society at- thia Cleveland show will be
Emil Buettner, of Park Eidge, 111., and
John H. Dunlop, of Eichmond HiU, To-
ronto, Ont.

GLADIOLUS SOCIETY OF OHIO.

An adjourned meeting of the Gladi-
olus Society of Ohio will be held in con-
nection with the flower show at Cleve-
land, November 12, at the call of the
president. An election of officers, the
naming of the time and place of the
next flower show, and other matters of
importance are to be disposed of at this
meeting. Wilbur A. Christy, Sec'y.

THE BABS ABE DOWN.

Azalea Imports Unrestricted.

The Belgian minister at "Washington
advises as follows under date of Octo-
ber 14:

"The regulations (by the British
government, concerning shipment of
goods of Belgian origin via Eotterdam)
have been relaxed in the case of Bel-
gian nursery stock, which is now being
exported freely to the United States,
under an arrangement with the Belgian
Horticultural Syndicate, that all con-
signees are instructed to pay the pur-
chase money in due course to the
Banque Beige pour I'Etranger, 2 Bish-
opsgate, London."

"What Will the Effect Be?

After all, the fall imports of azaleas
and other Belgian nursery stock are
being permitted to proceed almost with-
out restriction. Just what effect it will
hare' oft the normal volume of imports
it is diflScult to say, as the uncertainty
has been great, no one knowing from
day to day what the regulations and
conditions would be tomorrow. Orders
no doubt were cut by some, while they
were increased and scattered by others.
Every boat from Eotterdam now brings
large shipments of Belgian plants, but
it will remain for the end of the sea-
son to show whether or not the total is
above or below that of normal years.

Many Cases Already Here.

As reported in The Eeview for Octo-
ber 14, shipments of Belgian plants,
principally azaleas, began leaving Eot-
terdam as early as September 4, 945
cases of plants reaching New York on
the Noordam October 4. The Eyndam
and Oosterdyk, which arrived October
18, brought still larger quantities and
the Westerdyk, due in a few days, has
many consignments of both Belgian and
Holland plants. McHutchison & Co.,
New York, state they alone have a total
of 796 packages on these three boats.

DEATH OF CLEMATIS.

The sudden dying of clematis plants,
especially wherever the large-flowered
kinds are grown extensively in America
and Europe, has been noted for many
years, and the cause and methods for

Erevention of this disease have recently
een reported in the Journal of Agri-
cultural Eesearch of the United States
Department of Agriculture, by W. O.
Qloyer of the New York Agricultural
Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y.
This investigator found that the pri-
mary cause of the dying of these plants
is a fungus known as Ascochyta clema-
tidina. The disease shows itself dif-
ferently on various species. On hy-
brids grown in the field it is a stem-
rot, while at the greenhouse where cut-
tings are propagated it is a leaf-spot
as well as a stem-rot. On Clematis
paniculata the disease takes both forms.
There is less disease when the hy-
brids are supported while growing than
when they are permitted to trail on the
ground. In the case of Clematis
paniculata, however, the selling price
of this variety does not warrant in-
curring the expense of supports. The
author in this case advises transplant-
ing the plants from the beds to the
open field after the first year and plac-
ing them far enough apart to prevent
natting, which is always a condition

favorable to the disease. The follow-
ing spray, applied lightly, controls the
disease on Clematis paniculata growing
in the beds and on cuttings in the
greenhouse: One pound of laundry
soap and six pounds of sulphur to
fifteen gallons of water. The disease
can be controlled on the hybrids in
frames or in the greenhouse by the use
of sprays. In all cases it is best to
remove the diseased leaves and dead
vines before spraying. It is particu-
larly important to clear out such leaves
and vines, especially if the plant- is
wintering outdoors, as the fungus is
able to survive cold weather. This in-
dicates also that the same beds should
not be used for clematis during suc-
cessive years.

PBOPAGATINO SNAFDBAOONS.

Will you kindly state the best method
of propagating snapdragons in summer,
as we have had poor success? Can they
be well rooted in July, August and Sep-
tember! What is the best way to se-

cure seeds from indoor plants? Is there
danger of the seed mixing when the
plants are side by sidet

J. W. W.— Pa.

In order to secure true seed, only
grow one variety in a house. If more
are grown, it will be necessary to use
fine-mesh mosquito netting or gauze
over the plants to exclude insects while
the plants are flowering. I have found
indoor seed superior to that saved from
outdoor plants, for forcing purposes.

Snapdragons are hard to root in July,
August and September, but seedlings
can be secured without any trouble.
These possess greater vigor than plants
propagated from cuttings, and are more
disease-proof. If you buy reliable seed,
a small proportion only will fail to
come true to color. Cuttings from
plants grown indoors root much more
satisfactorily than those from outside
plants. C. W.

of 1916, to be held at the National
Flower Show in Philadelphia, from
March 25 to April 2, was submitted and
gone over carefully, covering roses in
pots and tubs, table decorations, blooms
by commercial growers and blooms by
private growers. The total amount of
premiums to be awarded is $2,500. A
special prize of $10 is offered for the
prettiest exhibition of roses, the winner
to be decided by a vote of the lady
visitors. The final adjustment of the
schedule of prizes was referred to a
committee composed of Messrs. Pen-
nock and Reuter.

C. T. Tansill, of the Washington Test
Garden Committee, tendered his resig-
nation and it was moved that William
F. Gude, of Washington, D, C, be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Gude
has accepted the position. A new rose
was reported for registration and was
referred for proper consideration.

The Cleveland flower show, to be
held November 10 to 14, was discussed
and arrangements made to call a regu-
lar meeting of the society at that time
for the consideration of any matters
pertaining to the best interests of the
society.

The Cleveland flower show has placed
at the disposal of the American Rose
Society the sum of $700 in prizes. There
has been added to that a special prize
of $25 by Robert Scott & Son, of
Sharon Hill, Pa., for fifty blooms of
Killarney Brilliant rose. A. N. Pier-
s n. Inc., offers $25 for the best fifty
blooms of Rose Hadley, and Benjamin
Hammond offers a cash prize of $10
for the prettiest exhibition of roses,
the winner to be decided by vote of the
lady visitors. A" silver cup is offered
by the iLamborn Floral Co., of Alliance,
O.; a silver medal by Vaughan's Seed
Store, of New York and Chicago, and
$10 in cash by W. Atlee Burpee & Co.

The judges for the American Rose
Society at- the Cleveland show will be
Emil Buettner, of Park Ridge, 111., and
John H. Dunlop, of Richmond Hill, To-

THE BARS ABE DOWN.

Azalea Imports Unrestricted.

The Belgian minister at Washington
advises as follows under date of Octo-
ber 14:

"The regulations (by the British
government, concerning shipment of
goods of Belgian origin via Kotterdam)
have been relaxed in the case of Bel-
gian nursery stock, which is now being
exported freely to the United States,
under an arrangement with the Belgian
Horticultural Syndicate, that all con-
signees are instructed to pay the pur-
chase money in due course to the
Banque Beige pour I'Etranger, 2 Bish-
opsgate, London."

What Wm the Effect Be?

After all, the fall imports of azaleas
and other Belgian nursery stock are
being permitted to proceed almost with-
out restriction. Just what effect it will
have on the normal volume of imports
it is diflScult to say, as the uncertainty
has been great, no one knowing from
day to day what the regulations and
conditions would be tomorrow. Orders
no doubt were cut by some, while they
were increased and scattered by others.
Every boat from Eotterdam now brings
large shipments of Belgian plants, but
it will remain for the end of the sea-
son to show whether or not the total is
above or below that of normal years.

Many Cases Already Here.

As reported in The Eeview for Octo-
ber 14, shipments of Belgian plants,
principally azaleas, began leaving Eot-
terdam as early as September 4, 945
cases of plants reaching New York on
the Noordam October 4. The Eyndam
and Oosterdyk, which arrived October
18, brought still larger quantities and
the Westerdyk, due in a few days, has
many consignments of both Belgian and
Holland plants. McHutchison & Co.,
New York, state they alone have a total
of 796 packages on these three boats.

DEATH OF CLEMATIS.

The sudden dying of clematis plants,
especially wherever the large-flowered
kinds are grown extensively in America
and Europe, has been noted for many
years, and the cause and methods for
prevention of this disease have recently
been reported in the Journal of Agri-
cultural Research of the United States
Department of Agriculture, by W. O.
Qloyer of the New York Agricultural
Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y.
This investigator found that the pri-
mary cause of the dying of these plants
is a fungus known as Ascochyta clema-
tidina. The disease shows itself dif-
ferently on various species. On hy-
brids grown in the field it is a stem-
rot, while at the greenhouse where cut-
tings are propagated it is a leaf-spot
as well as a stem-rot. On Clematis
paniculata the disease takes both forms.

There is less disease when the hy-
brids are supported while growing than
when they are permitted to trail on the
ground. In the case of Clematis
paniculata, however, the selling price
of this variety does not warrant in-
curring the expense of supports. The
author in this case advises transplant-
ing the plants from the beds to the
open field after the first year and plac-
ing them far enough apart to prevent
natting, which is always a condition

La Debutante of 18t2, for the Great-granddaughter of 1915.

favorable to the disease. The follow-
ing spray, applied lightly, controls the
disease on Clematis paniculata growing
in the beds and on cuttings in the
greenhouse: One pound of laundry
soap and six pounds of sulphur to
fifteen gallons of water. The disease
can be controlled on the hybrids in
frames or in the greenhouse by the use
of sprays. In all cases it is best to
remove the diseased leaves and dead
vines before spraying. It is particu-
larly important to clear out such leaves
and vines, especially if the plant- is
wintering outdoors, as the fungus is
able to survive cold weather. This in-
dicates also that the same beds should
not be used for clematis during suc-
cessive years.

danger of the seed mixing when the
plants are side by side?

PROPAGATING SNAPDRAGONS.

Will you kindly state the best method
of propagating snapdragons in summer,
as we have had poor success? Can they
be well rooted in July, August and Sep-
tember? What is the best way to se-

In order to secure true seed, only
grow one variety in a house. If more
are grown, it will be necessary to use
fine-mesh mosquito netting or gauze
over the plants to exclude insects while
the plants are flowering. I have found
indoor seed superior to that saved from
outdoor plants, for forcing purposes.

Snapdragons are hard to root in July,
August and September, but seedlings
can be secured without any trouble.
These possess greater vigor than plants
propagated from cuttings, and are more
disease-proof. If you buy reliable seed,
a small proportion only will fail to
come true to color. Cuttings from
plants grown indoors root much more
satisfactorily than those from outside
plants. C. W.

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

DO AUTOS HURT OR HELP?

A correspondent writes: "Notwith-
standing the financial depression
through which the country has been
passing, the automobile business seems
to be going ahead by leaps and bounds.
Many automobile agents this y^ar have
far exceeded their best previous rec-
ords. Many persons have purchased au-
tomobiles who, judging by appearances,
are not able to maintain them. A con-
siderable number, it is known, have
mortgage^ homes for which they have
been saving through a long period of
years, in order to buy a machine. An
incident came to the notice of the
writer, where a widow received a legacy
of about $3,000 in cash, besides the
home she lived in. She put a substan-
tial portion of her cash legacy into an
automobile, which, after she had used
it a few days, had lost probably half its
value, as far as her ability to realize
any money on it was concerned.

"Many who own machines are find-
ing that it is costing them far more
than they had planned for the upkeep.
Yet such is the almost universal desire
to own an auton^obile that hundreds of
others, who really cannot afford to buy
machines, are planning to get them' as
soon as they can scrape a little more
itaoney together. .

"Has this automobile craze injured
the florists' business? Many have been
asking the question. Business generally
has been so upset during the last year
that it is harder to get at the true
answer to this question than it would
be when general business conditions are
more stable. But there are a growing
number of florists who are coming to

feel that the rapid increase in the
growth of the automobile business is
hurting them. In one sense flowers are
aJUiiEury, and if a family's surplus
mbni^y goes for an automobile and its
upkeep, it cannot go for flowers, jew-
elry, etc.

"It is undoubtedly true that there is
no one who will entirely cut out the
purchase of flowers because he has pur-
chased an automobile, but there are
many who doubtless will buy flowers
and plants in smaller quantities than
if they had no machine. If a funeral
piece is desired, it will be a cheaper
one than they would otherwise pur-
chase. If flowers are to be purchased
for a wedding, the quantity will be less
if there is an unpaid garage bill to be
met also. House bouquets, purchased
by those who have to economize on
other things because of the expense of
the upkeep of their autos, will be
smaller than before the machines were
purchased. There will be a tendency
on the part of some to 'shop' in order
to get flowers where they can be. pur-
chased the cheapest. Florists whose
flowers, while not strictly fresh, still
look good, may benefit by such trade,
but the house whose aim is to always
furnish the finest quality of goods will
suffer to some extent.

"There is a large class of people
who can afford to keep automobiles
without curtailing their expenditures
for flowers and other things which
might be classed as semi-luxuries. But
there is the other class of those in
moderately comfortable circumstances,
who have but a limited amount of
money that can be used on extras. If

they spend an unusually large propor-
tion of their incomes on automobiles,
they must economize correspondingly in
other lines. The question is whether
the aggregate of the economies of such
people is sufficiently large to make a
perceptible difference in the business
of individual florists. There are many
who think it is, though few, if any,
will state that the amount is suf-
ficiently large to cripple them."

There are all sorts of ways of look-
ing at things. Of course it Snith
spends all or most of his money with
Jones for an automobile, Smith cannot
spend it with Green, the florist, but
what will Jones do with itf If he made
money on the deal, quite likely he will
send his wife a corsage bouquet and
phone her to come down to dinner and
the theater. And perhaps, business be-
ing good, the restaurant man and the
theater manager may each buy rather
more and better flowers than they would
if Jones stayed home.

WINDOW SIMPLICITY.

A little thinking will save a lot of
unproductive effort and experiment in
dressing up a window. The distinctive
feature of the window illustrated on
this page is the simplicity of arrange-
ment, which is the more striking be-
cause there was no attempt to cram the
window with something of everything
in the store. Here is where the window
artist, in this instance, did his thinking
before trimming the window — not after-
ward, as happens not uncommonly.
Especially beautiful is the center
decoration of a corsage bouquet upon
velvet, draped over an artist's easel
and palette, which at once has the
suggestion of art and^ beauty, as if,
perhaps, devised by an artist for a sub-
ject. Its effect is preserved because
the window was not crowded full of
other flowers, and in this lies the secret
of its simplicity. To have filled the
space in the window to any greater ex-
tent, simply because the space was
there, would have destroyed the effect.
The window is that of the Jones-Rus-
sell Co., of Cleveland, in its new branch
store opened early in October, at Euclid
avenue and the Taylor Arcade, where
half the store is occupied by a con-
fectioner.

Schling arranged for the wedding of a
Los Angeles bride, at the Waldorf-
Astoria, in New York. Although the
color scheme is not apparent in the

to it can be had by noticing the ex-
cellent contrasts obtained. The pleas-
ing effect of the bower at the left, un-
der which the ceremony was performed,
was a striking feature of the decora-
tion. Flowering apples were used ia

MBS. SOHLINQ'S DECOBATION.

That the Schling decorative genius
is not entirely a masculine trait is
amply testified by the illustration on
this page, which shows a home table
decoration by Mrs. Max Schling. In
it the wife of the New York retailer
used white lilac, azalea sprays, valley
and Mr. Schling 's new hybrid carna-
tions, as yet unnamed. It may be
mentioned in passing that Mr. Schling
has eight varieties of these, including
all colors. In size they are, when dis-
budded, as large as the best carnations,
but when not disbudded, they are about
as lar^e as the old Scott variety. Their
blooming period extends to the arrival
of frost.

OBOP TO FOLLOW NEFHBOLEFIS.

At this' time of year our houses are
filled with different varieties of
nephrolepis grown in benches, part of
which are under contract for delivery
in October. We usually have a house
or two empty between the departure
of the ferns and the time when Easter
stock is to be potted. This year the
period will be exceptionally long, as
Easter comes late. We grow a consid-
erable quantity of spirseas at Easter,
which, this coming year, will not take
up bench room until about the middle
of March. .What would you suggest as
a crop between October and March,
something that would be profitable to
occupy the space mentioned above for
that period? What depth, heat, etc., are
required for tomatoes, lettuce, etc.f
Delphinium Belladonna has been sug-

of soil is required for forcing this, and

T. N. Y. & C— Pa.

Lettuce succeeds in a minimum win-
ter temperature of 45 to 48 degrees.
Good varieties are May King, Hit-
tinger's Belmont and Boston Forcing
Tennis BalL By sowing now you can
get two crops of lettuce before you will
need the houses for spring crops. Let-
tuce needs a rich soil twelve inches
deep, containing an abundance of stable
manure. Tomatoes could be planted and
grown with success if you can give
them a night temperature of 60 de-
grees. They do best in winter with a
somewhat restricted root run, and need
a dry atmosphere. Good forcing sorts
are Comet and Lister's Prolific.

Delphiniums, such as Belladonna,
should not be lifted before November.
They need several freezings before
planting, require a temperature not
over 50 degrees at night, and would,
if planted late in November, flower
from March 20 through April. You
could plant Spanish iris, or gladioli,
such as Peach Blossom or Blushing
Bride, and clear the houses by the mid-
dle of April. These should have a tem-
perature of 50 degrees at night. The
large gladioli, if used, would not come
in until April. Such bulbs as Paper
White narcissi could be benched, and
would do well in a similar temperature.
Single violets, if planted after the mid-
dle of October, would be done flowering
by the end of March. They need a
low temperature, 40 to 42 degrees at
night in winter. Double violets can be

Try fumigation with one of the nico-
tine extracts. These are evaporated
over denatured alcohol lamps, and, if
used fairly strong, should clean out the

moths. This form of fumigation will
not harm your plants. If nicotine does
not clean out the pests, hydrocyanic
acid gas will be the only alternative.
This must be used with the greatest
care, as it is deadly to insects and all
other forms of animal life, human life
included. The formula for this has
often been given in The Eeview. If
used "wi^h. due care, it is the most re-
liable of all fumigants. It is least
likely to harm foliage in a low tem-
perature. C. W.

ter business site than the former one at

Early Azaleas.

There are always a fair number of
azaleas offered for Thanksgiving, while
Christmas sales are large. The proba-
bility of large Belgian importations
this season is not bright and many
growers will need to rely on carried
over stock. If this was planted out
and kept well watered «a^ syringed,
the plants should be bristling with
buds. The foliage may b6 a trifle
lighter in color than the freshly im-
' ported article, but this is far more than
■%^ conij^nsated for by the wealth of
flower buds. Some people imagine that
these carried over plants will not force
so well or bloom so early as imported
ones. This is pure nonsense; the fact
is that the majority flower even ear-
lier, as our hot summers permit the
plants to complete their growth and set
buds earlier than in Belgium.'

Naturally early sorts, such as Heze,
Charles Encke, Mme. Petrick, Deutsche
Perle, etc., should now be placed in a
temperature of 60 degrees at night and
kept freely syringed. Pick out such
plants for forcing as have nice, plump
buds. Plan to have them in bloom, if
you can, a little earlier than they are
to be sold, 80 that they can be kept
gradually cooler, to give the flowers
more substance.

Oannas.

Lift and store canna roots before
they sustain a hard freeze. Cut them
down to within a few inches of the
ground and expose them to the sun a
few hours before housing them. A
shelf in a shed or cellar with a dry at-
mosphere, and without much fire heat,
will keep these cannas. Lift a good
ball of earth with them. If you have
no suitable storehouse, pack them un-
der the bench in a carnation or other
house where they are not likely to be
subjected to much drip. They want to
be kept dormant for a few months and
this is not possible where the soil gets
at all moist.

Oladloli.

Qladioli should be lifted and stored
away now. Cut the stems back to
within three inches of the bulbs. Be
sure they are quite dry when stored.
A suitable storehouse for gladioli is
one just clear of freezing in severe
weather. Shelves in a dry cellar, such
as is used for the storage of potatoes,
will answer well for gladioli.

Early Frencb Bulbs.

A batch of Paper White narcissi
should now be placed in a temperature
of 60 degrees. They will not take long
to respond and come into flower. They
are not needed in any great numbers
while mums overwhelm the markets,
but a great many country growers never
need to sell a flower at wholesale and
these are the people who can use some
Paper Whites just as early as they can
be had in bloom, for they are extreme-
ly useful in retail work. If they are

coming along too fast, it is easy to re-
tard them on the floor of a cool cellar.
Roman hyacinths should not be
started until they have made a couple
of inches of growth. They cannot be
had in bloom as early as the Paper
Whites. The probable scarcity of val-
ley has caused a record demand for
these hyacinth bulbs.

V : Peonies.

BemoVe the fpHage from the peonies.
They will be much benefited if a gen-
erous layer of manure, tolerably well
decayed, is spread between the rows. A
great many peonies are reported as
flowering poorly each season. There
are several probable causes for this,
such- as poor soil, cutting flower stems
too near the ground each season, late
frosts and a failure to transplant when
required, but probably lack of plant
food is the great cause of plants flow-
ering unsatisfactorily.

Hardy Herbaceous Plants.

Some perennials, such as peonies and
irises, do best if planted in September;
others, including Japanese anemones,
tritomas, incarvilleas, . pompon chrysan-
themums and anchusas, move better in

the spring, but the overwhelming pro-
portion of hardy perennials can be
more successfully replanted now than
in the spring. All like a deep, well
enriched soil, and when the winter has
set in they will be benefited by a mulch.
Vastly better results are to be had
from fall rather than spring planting
of nine-tenths of the hardy perennials
catalogued.

Nerines.

The spikes are now appearing on
Nerine Sarniensis apd N. Fothergilli
major, the two earliest scarlet varie-
ties. They are also. appearing on some
of the pink varieties. As the spikes
show, move the plants, into a cool, airy
house. They need little water until the
flowering season has '.passed, but they
require a good supply after that time,
while making their growth. Any badly
matted plants should 'be repotted after
flowering, but give small shifts, as
nerines only flower satisfactorily when
well potbound and thoroughly l^k^d
through the summer. The Guernsey
lilies come at a season when indoor
flowers are scarce; and are, therefore,
specially welcome.

Freesias.

The earliest batch of freesias should
now be about a foot high, stocky and
of a rich, dark green color. These
should flower for Christmas, but to in-
sure their coming in at that season,
when prices are high, give them a sunny
bench or shelf in a minimum tempera-
ture of 52 to 55 degrees. Avoid high
feeding, or the ends of the leaves will
turn brown. Soot water makes an ideal
stimulant.

ON funebaij flowebs again.

In response to Charles A. Cards in
The Review of October 7, ptige 18, re-
garding the abuse of funersS flowers,
we might suggest the following plan
of cooperation between ourselves and
undertakers, which has proven satis-
factory here for a number of years.

In the first place, we have it under-
stood with the undertakers that we are
ready at all times to give our assist-
ance in the arrangement of funeral
tributes, and to have our wagon at
hand to take care of them after the
services.

If the services are at a church, the
flowers are taken from the residence to
the church in our wagon and, with the
assistance of a florist, the undertaker
is enabled to make a much better ar-
rangement; or vice versa. After church
or residence services, our wagon car-
ries the flowers to the place of burial,
and we arrange them at the grave, so
that when the funeral party arrives,
the unsightly mound of sand has been
transformed into a mound of flowers.,

What do we do with flowers fur-
nished by our competitors! Treat them
as our own.

What do we do when the family pur-
chase their flowers from the other fel-
low, but desire our services! We make

a charge for whatever service we per-
form.

How does it pay usf In many ways;
principally in advertising, satisfied
customers and, best of all, our flowers
are not abused. Here is hoping some-
one else will give his experience and
opinion. This comes from a country
town of 3,000, having four undertakers
and three florists. W. E. HaU.

TO MAKE HYDRANGEAS BLUE.

I noted the inquiry on page 68 of
The Review of October 14, as to how
to make hydrangea flowers blue "by
the application of iron in some form to
the roots of the plants." Last summer
I was walking through the residential
section of a southern cotton mill town,
when I came across a flne hydrangea
plant, growing in a tub. The plant
was four or five feet wide and was
literally smothered with flowers of the
most intense blue. It was the most
beautiful plant of its kind I have ever
seen. Noticing a woman sitting on the
porch, I asked her where she obtained
it. She replied, "Oh, it's just the
same as the others," referring to ^
number of plants with the ordinary
pink flowers, "but if you want to get
them blue you must grow them in muck
land." She told me that one year the

family did not go to the country and
therefore had no muck land for the
plants. The consequence was that the
flowers had their normal color, rose or
pink.

These mill people migrate back and
forth, going to the country in the sum-
mer and returning to the cotton mills
in the winter. Their plants are all
grown in lard tubs or tin cans, on which
the names of Armour and Swift are
everywhere conspicuous. The plants
are taken with them whenever they
move, though many of them do so every
few weeks. Their plants seem to be
as inseparable from them as if they
formed a part of the -family, and some
of '^hem have plants that would put the
professional norist to shame. I am
thinking of obtaining some of the soil
in which the blue-flowered hydrangea
was grown, and getting it analyzed.
Judging from the general surroundings,
I should think there was but little, if
any, iron in the soil, but the color of
the flowers was certainly the most beau-
tiful blue I have ever seen in hydratt-
geas and I have seen a good many.

ABTHUB HEBBINGTON.

IT may bo possible, some day, to put on a flower show in New York, or at Madi-
son, N. J., without the active assistance of Arthur Harrington — may be, we say,
but it hasn't yet been done; not in a good many years. While following the pro-
fession of landscape architect, with offices in the metropolis, Mr. Herrington still
makes his home at Madison, where for many years he was superintendent of one of
the largest estates in the district. There are few men in this country who have so
broad a knowledge of needs and uses of plants or the production and arrangement
of flowers. Mr. Herrington is known personally to large numbers of florists, but
his writings are known to thousands more. The book in which he records his ex-
perience as a grower of the chrysanthemum has run through several editions.

feed occasionally with liquid manure.
Be careful not to grow them too warm;
a temperature of 50 to 52 degrees at
night is all right; higher temperatures
are injurious. C. W.

WINTER - FLOWEBINO BEGOINIAS.

All the varieties of winter-flowering
begonias should now have a sunny
house. No further shading should be
necessary, unless we chance to get a
belated heat wave. If the drainage
provided has been ample and the soil
fairly porous, the plants will need con-
siderable water and some weak liquid
manure should be added at least once
a week. Where the pots are matted
with roots, give it twice a week.

The plants should have had necessary
staking done before now, but, if not
yet done, lose no time in giving some
supports. These should be light, pref-

erably painted green, and as incon-
spicuous as possible. Staking, if left
until the plants are blooming, means
that they will be badly mauled over
during the process.

The Lorraines are already flowering
freely and many can be sold between
now and Thanksgfiving. In the case of
Cincinnati, Florence Davenport and
Melior, where the foliage is heavier and
the natural blooming time a little later,
all efforts should be made to have them
in as good a condition as possible be-
fore the Christmas holidays, which is
the season when the bulk of these
plants will be sold. The scarcity of
azaleas should create 9, greater demand
for begonias, poinsettias and cyclamens,
and growers well stocked with these are
to be congratulated. Give the be-
gonias 60 degrees at night and run them
a little cooler nearer Christmas.

' As far as I ctm learn, the loss from
; jStMO^rot ill *^6 sovMth this year is not
:.\',tl3^yre the normal. .iPhe danger is past,
' now that eool weatlier is here, and we
exQMt. only an occasional loss of a
pllmc for a week or two more. It
ae^r to me that this disease, in the
majority of cases, has its inception on
the field and is not contracted after
the plants are brcmght inside. The
largest loss is alws^ys during the first
month , after housing, which clearly
shows that the plants were more or'
less affected in the field. Here, in the
south, we try to give all the ventila-
tion possible after housing, having the
sides and doors open both, day and
night. It is noticeable that the plants
on the beds or benches near the open
sides take hold in their new quarters
more quickly than those in any other
part of the house. With such an
amount of ventilation, it is hardly fair
to blame the inside conditions for the
stem-rot, although the additional mois-
'jture may hasten the end of any af-
fected plants. Were we to direct more
attention to conditions in the field, we ■
! might be able to better check the ray-
ages of the disease. Perhaps one of
th« experiment stations could give some
' ddvice on this phase of it.
i " Leaf -spot has caused quite a Jot of
damage in different places, but in all
the cases that I have heard of, leaf -spot
JuM appeared only on plapts that were
housed in September. The last days
of August and the first few days of
September were rainy and unseason-
ably cool, and these conditions, more
than anything else, were the causes of
leaf-spot. Fungous diseases like leaf-
spot are easily checked if, at the first
appearance, the affected leaves are
picked off and the jjlants thoroughly
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. Allow
the mixture td stay on the plants a
couple of days before spraying off and
renew it again if necessary. Encour-
age the plants to grow by frequent stir-
rings of the surface soil, and keep the
house clean and fully ventilated.

The plants by this time should all
have had the first support and be
'" rtfady f6r the next one. This is a job
''"that should always be done on time,
or rather a little ahead of time, to
^f ketfp the plants straight. "Watering is
ut>f ttwt n<w an arduous job, but do not
%^ neglect the syringing by any means.
This should be done thoroughly at least
twice each week during the entire win-
, , ter season. The cool nights are caus-
i),ing the thrips to migrate inside; it is
'j (none too soon to go after them. To ex-
terminate thrips I have found nothing
so effective as Hammond's Thrips Juice
No. 2, diluted forty to one, according
to directions. Try to select a cloudy
day for the spraying and leave the
mixture on the plants for forty-eight
hours before washing oflf with the hose.
Bepeat at intervals of one wefek three
or four times and you will have no
more trouble with thrips, at least not

e'.J

until spring is well advanced. It is ad-
visable during the winter to paint one
of the steam pipes in each house with a
nicotine extract, as a precaution, once
every week or ten days.

In many sections of the south we
have had some cool nights. It is vvell
to be prepared to fire the boilers on
such nights. If the plants receive a
check at this time they are liable to
stand still for quite a while and also
throw a lot of split calyxes. This split-
ting of the calyx is one of the vexatious
tilings of carnation culture. An even
night temperature during the whole
firing season, more than anythin^^ ^f>
will keep the loss from tbi6 causa ^d^Mfn
to the minimum. A night temperature
of 50 to 52 degrees in the northern
sections of the south will be correct,
but in the southern sections a rise of
2 to 4 degrees, according to latitude, is
better. "With these higher tempera-
tures a little air sl}Ould be allowed all
night, except on the coldest nights. If
the houses are piped to maintain these
temperatures during the occasional cold
snaps and the plants receive no check

^•-^'^v^

from any other cause, there will be
small trouble from the bursting of
calyxes.

Sometimes during wet spells a quick-
spreading fungus will attack the buds
and cause a heavy loss unless checked
at once. This is all the more likely
to appear in houses where the roofs or
gutters are leaky or where the water
will work in from the outside and lie
under the benches or in the walks. To
get rid of fungus you can spray with
potassium sulphide, one-half ounce or
even one ounce to a gallon of water, or
paint one pipe in a narrow house or two
pipes in a wide house with a sulphur
paint. Of the two remedies I prefer
the sulphur, it being more quickly flip-
plied. You may have to renew tlie
paint once or twice to get rid of the
fungus entirely. In leaky houses, it
is always safe to use the sulphur oc-
casionally as a preventive.

Plants that were housed early will
need at this time a little additional
fertilizer. Most growers use sheep ma-
nure as a top-dressing between the
rows. A mixture of two parts sheep
manure to one part commercial guano
will be an improvement over the sheep
manure alone. The small amount of
potash in the guano is of the greatest
benefit. One application at this time
will probably be enough until after the
short days. Avoid using liquid manure
at this time. If you use this form of
nourishment leave it until late spring.

OATTLETA MOSSLS.

I am sending herewith a piece of a
Cattleya Mossise of this year's growth.
It is a specimen plant and has from
fifteen to twenty growths, the majority
of which are assuming this appearance.
I would like to know what is the trou-
ble. The plants are in a greenhouse and
have been in the shade all summer,
with plenty of light and air. They were
all right last year. J. H. C. — Ark.

Judging from the discoloration of the
small bulb forwarded and the black
condition of the sheath, you have been
overwatering or oversyringing, perhaps
both. Probably, also, the shade has
been too heavy. "While cattleyas need
some shade, it is easily overdone and,
while plants under such conditions usu-
ally keep a nice, green color and make
good bulbs, they invariably flower dis-
appointingly. Cattleyas should be al-
lowed to dry out well between water-
ings, should be placed as near the glass

as possible, should never be heavily
shaded, and this shading must be grad-
ually removed so that by November the
plants can have full sunlight, or nearly
so, until March. Your bulbs are small,
if the one sent is a fair sample. I
would suggest moderate feeding with
sheep manure for your cattleyas, a little
the whole year around, but the strength
can be increased somewhat while the
bulbs are being developed. C. "W.

PUBLICATIONS BEOEIVED.

't"Sander's List of Orchid Hybrids," new edi-
tion. Compiled and published by Sander & Sons,
St. Albans, England. Size, about 6x9^ Inches;
158 printed pages, besides an equal number of
Interleaved blank pages, for the convenience of
the user of the book In keeping his own hybridiza-
tion records. Price, bound in half leather, 1
guinea.]

This, of course, is not meant to be
a book for everybody, in all branches
of horticulture. It is not expected that
every florist will clamor for a copy.
Many members of all departments of
the trade might indeed find such a work
of reference highly serviceable to them,
but it is intended primarily and princi-
pally for specialists, for those most
special of specialists, the orchid hybrid-
izers. These devoted orchidists will
undoubtedly be eager to own it, since
the lack of it would be a serious handi-
cap to them. A book that is designed
for a distinct class of business men, if
designed - with adequate skill, is likely
to be almost indispensable to that class.

Typographically the book presents a
good appearance. It is a creditable
sample of the printers' art and bears
every evidence of accuracy. It also
seems to !>», fluffi(}iMtly"''eomprehensive
and up-to-date to cobnrm the truth of
the publishers' statement that, in pro-
curing the matter for the new edition,
"all records were searched up to July
18, 1915." For many years Sander &
Sons have collected and arranged such
data, at first for their own use, and the
successive issues of this book have em-
bodied the results of these labors.

The book is divided into two dis-
tinct sections. The first section con-
tains an alphabetical list of the hy-
brids, with the two parents and the
names of the raisers, when procurable.
In the second section the parents are
listed alphabetically. Thus the hybrid-
izer, or would-be hybridizer, has in
this book the means of ascertaining
exactly what has already been done in
tha line of experimentation in which
he is interested. By consulting this
book he can know his materials and
conduct the work intelligently, not en-
tirely at random.

NEW GIANT SIALLOW.

To create a flowering plant the blos-
soms of which measure one foot across
^njore than three times as large as the
original common wild flower from
which it has been developed — is an
achievement of Bobbink & Atkins, the
result of over seven years of experi-
ment.

"We began," said F. L. Atkins,
"with the wild marsh mallow, which
covers the New Jersey marshes in pro-
fusion in the late summer. We se-
lected the best specimens that could be
found, and crossed them with the best
examples we had of Hibiscus coccineus.
The next year we took the healthiest

Hybrid Marsh Mallow Railed by Bobbink & Atkins, of Rutherford.

specimens of this hybrid and fertilized
them from each other. Each year this
process has been continued, until about
two years ago, when we began to see
the remarkable results."

At the nursery of this firm, at Buth-
erford, N. J., there are whole fields of
this giant marsh mallow, the height
ranging from six to nine feet, each
stem bearing a multitude of huge blos-
soms and each section of the fields a
different tone of color. The colors
range from pure white, through the
delicate varieties of pink to the deep-
est crimson. There are flowers of solid
color, others which are white or pink.

with a red center, and some in which
the variations of shade resemble the
iris. The leaves are of large size, are
of a rich, glossy green, and in them-
selves form a unique decorative feature.
The New Hybrid Giant-flowering
Marsh Mallow is the name by which it
will be known. The intention of its
growers was to produce a hardy peren-
nial of such size as to form a back-
ground for other plantings. With the
coming of frost the stem dies down,
and, it cut off close to the ground, the
plant, being absolutely hardy, needs "o
protection, shooting up with vigor the
following year.

STEM-BOT OF OABNATIONS.

How to Prevent It.

Having read many articles concern-
ing the cause of stem-rot of carnations,
and having been successful in prevent-
ing the disease myself, I venture to
offer my opinion on the subject, in the
hope of giving some slight assistance
to my fellow growers. I have been
growing carnations for over ten years,
in various climates and under many
conditions, and yet I am not aware that
I have ever lost a plant on account of
this disease.

To be successful in resisting the
disease, you must begin at the time the
plants leave the cutting bed. When
potting the young plants, never bury
the roots deeply; about one inch be-
low the surface is enough. After being
potted, the plants should be lightly

shaded for a few days and then allowed
to have full sunlight. When they at-
tain a height of six or seven inches,
break them off at a joint, leaving about
four inches. This is important, as if
long stems are allowed to grow, the
wood gets hard and will not make the
desired bushy plants.

Danger in Deep Planting.

Now the plants should either be re-
potted into 4-inch pots, to be trati's-
ferred to benches later, or planted out
in the field. In either' case be particu-
lar to keep the ball of the plant just
level with the surface of the soil, for
in deep planting lies danger. Keep the
soil well stirred through the summer,
to let the air circulate.

When ready to plant in the houses,
have the benches whitewashed with hot
lime and filled with good soil. Slightly
shade the glass with a mud mixture.

and proceed to plant. If any soil has
jworked up around the stems through
cultivation, remove it, and plant with
jthe top of the ball on a level with the
Wiurface, of the soil. It is better to see
a lew roots above the soil than to have
..the stems buried, for deep planting, ac-
tsording to my observation, is the chief
'cause of stem-rot.

A FrecLuent Mistake.

i The fungus cannot attack the stem
|Unles8 the stem is in actual contact
with the soil. Many growers make the
imistake of allowing the plants to grow
ieggy, and then planting deeply to
mi^e them look bushy or to prevent
their falling over. If the plants are
weak and inclined to fall over, it is far
better to support them than to resort
|to deep planting.

I will mention one instance that
proved my method to be good. Once,
when working under a foreman, I had
charge of a section of carnations and
.the foreman had charge ol another. He
planted his section first, using the best
plants and planting deeply, according
|to his own theory. I used the left-over
plants in my section and planted ac-
cording to my theory. The foreman
lost thirty per cent of his plants from
stem-rot and I lost none.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Seth Miller has acquired the business
of the Green Floral Co., of Dallas, Tex.
Alex. Millar has charge of the houses.
The stock looks promising. Asparagus
plumosus, Adiantum hybridum, chrysan-
themums, roses and carnations are
grown for the wholesale trade. Mrs.
Eussell heads the list of roses. Its
popularity will call for larger plant-
ings. The benches in the houses are
tile-drained. Oil is used as fuel. This
establishment will be one of the at-
tractions for the S. A. F. visitors in
1916.

Harry Papworth, of the Metairie
Bidge Nursery Co., New Orleans, La.,
was in the thick of cleaning up at the
time of my visit. One could get some
idea of the enormous damage done to
buildings and stock by the recent storm.
All hands are busy getting the houses
into shape before frost, but a fine lot
of specimen palms and many chrysan-
themums grown outdoors were a total
loss. Mr. Papworth remarked that the
terrific force of the storm was shown
by the fact that bricks were carried
from a building four blocks away and
dropped on his greenhouses in such
numbers that the men could not re-
main indoors any longer. The men
were bracing up houses wherever the
pressure seemed greatest. Mr. Pap-
worth's chief anxiety during the storm
was for the safety of his family at
home, only a block away, but unap-
proachable because of the storm, which
also had carried down all wires. He
was glad to find they had not been
harmed in the least, only badly scared.
A curious freak of the storm was a
plantation of fine young orange trees
close by, which was untouched in the
midst of ruin.

A. H. Ahten, a market gardener, lo-
cated at Shrewsbury, La., lost sixteen
houses, each 23x200. They were com-
pletely flattened out.

James Newsham, of New Orleans,
who has one of the. best commercial
collections of orchids in the south, was
also a severe sufferer. The wind flat-
tened several houses, which damaged

the stock underneath. These good folks
were located on the edge of the city
and in the direct path of the hurricane.

Hugh Scales, of Birmingham, Ala.,
says he is feeling the beneficial effects
of better times. His stock is in ex-
cellent condition.

Meridian, Miss., boasts of three flo-
rists, all women. They are Mesdames
Henrietta McKinney, Florence Marshall
and Mary Watts. AH are doing good
business. W. M.

MOUNE, ILL.

John Staack, of Moline, 111., has been
named chairman of the entertainment
committee which will have charge of
the convention of the Illinois State
Florists' Association, to be held in Mo-
line, March 7 and 8, 1916. Other mem-
bers of the committee, who were ap-
pointed last week at a meeting of the
Tri-City Florists' Association, are the
following: Becording secretary, Wil-
liam Knees, Jr.; corresponding secre-
tary, W. C. Wilson; financial secretary,
A. Anderson; treasurer, Ludwig Stapp,
of Bock Island.

Many applications for space at the
convention have already been received.
The exhibition will be held in the Mo-
line Turner hall. Invitations will be
extended to Dr. W. E. Taylor, Mayor
M. E. Carlson, of Moline, and Wesley
Greene, of Des Moines, to address the
convention. The next meeting of the
Tri-City Association will be held in
Davenport. Iso date has been an-
nounced.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Not in years has this market expe-
rienced such a shortage as prevailed
all of last week. There was not one
flower that was on the long side, stock
being so short that the wholesaler could
have auctioned off the boxes without
opening them. A heavy frost last
week killed practically everything out-
doors and the only hope was in the
mums, galax and magnolia leaves. Some
of the stores used artificial fiowers to
help fill orders. The only outdoor flow-
ers obtainable were some dahlias which
the frost did not so much affect.

The supply of roses and cafnations
was short and consequently prices were
higher than they were last Christmas.
The midseason varieties are in bloom,
but most of them seem to be slow
about opening into flower. Chrysolora
and Bobinson are the two chief mums
at present. The few Easter lilies to be
had sold as high as 20 cents, October
15. Across the state line the stock
on hand was hardly enough to fill all
orders.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray has some begonias
which are equal to any ever seen in this
city. His lot of 10-inch Cincinnati be-
gonias is exceptional. He has also 100
plants of the new begonia, Mrs. J. A.
Peterson, in 6-inch pans, which should
be popular on account of its dark,
bronze foliage and red flowers. One
bench contains a fine lot of Melior be-
gonias, which will, no doubt, make the
Cincinnati push to hold its own. He
has a house of poinsettias that are in
good shape and of a nice height. An-
other house is devoted to orchids, which
h« has commenced to out. He will have
a large assortment of Christmas basket

plants, such as dracsenas, etc. His place
is well worth a visit.

E. D. Ellsworth says business so far
this year is better than ever before.
He sold out clean on all his small poin-
settia plants, of which he grows about
30,000 every summer. Mr. Ellsworth
had a reunion of brothers last week,
five in all, one from Boston, one from
St. Louis and three from this vicinity.

Miss Edith Boberts has opened a
store at 11 East Eleventh street. She
was formerly with the Costello-Moore
Floral Co.

Arthur Newell went to Columbia, Mo.,
to see a football game in which his son,
Walter, was a player. Youngs Mr.
Newell is a student at the state, uni-
versity.

The Chandlier Nursery cut over 8,000
dahlias last week.

Allen Sexton, manager of St. Mary's
Greenhouse, has the stock in good grow-
ing condition and declares that business
has been good.

Mr. Parker has a fish story to tell.
He caught thirty-one pounds of catfish
one day last week at the lake by their
greenhouses. He reports that stock is
scarce at present, but he expects relief
soon, as there is promise of a heavy
crop.

Joseph Austin will return to the city
next week much improved in health.

A. F. Barbe is cutting a great- many
mums, roses and carnations, but not
enough to fill all orders.

T. J. Noll & Co. report stock of all
kinds scarce. They are using mums to
advantage as a substitute for the less
plentiful flowers.

Biedermann & Son have several deco-
rations for the coming week.

The Alpha Floral Co. experienced a
large shipping business last week, espe-
eially in funeral work. Their cata-
logue is the means of obtaining much
trade.

W. J. Barnes has purchased a touring
car, which will be used for quick de-
liveries when his truck is on the street
or in need of repair. Funeral work is
keeping him busy. W. J. B.

SPBINGFIELD, MO.

The Market.

Business was much better last week.
A heavy frost helped trade wonder-
fully. Funeral work for the last few
days has been extra heavy and all have
had their share. Some fine white mums
are coming in from the Kansas City
market.

Various Notes.

Bauch Bros, have moved from their
old location in the Colonial hotel to
South street. They have a splendid
window. Their stock is obtained from
their greenhouses in Monett, Mo.

The J. W. Stokes Floral Co. has the
cut flower department in Herr's new
department store and reports business
good. This company had the decora-
tions for the Mann-McGregor wedding
last week. The church and home were
decorated with palms, ferns and white
mums. The bridesmaids carried hats
made up of Killarney roses; the bride's
bouquet was a shower of lily of the
valley.

The greenhouses of the Summerfield
Floral Co. are in first-class condition.
Their mums are excellent and will be
ready soon for cutting. This store had
a large decoration last week at the

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

Business was excellent all of last
week, until October 15, when the higher
temperature and the arrival of larger
shipments of mums and roses combined
to weaken the market. But if ship-
ments and attending conditions will
hold values where they are until
Thanksgiving, there will be no cause
for complaint. The "street" was sold
clean several days. There seems to be
a wider area than ever to cover this
fall and a larger number of florists in
the retail field. Already there have
been some notable banquets and wed-
dings, and many retailers report a
busy half month in October. Besides,
football demands will materialize soon
and Thanksgiving is near.

The buyers last week wore long faces
and have complained because of the de--
parture of bargain days. But they are
likely to have another opportunity be-
fore the present week is over, if the
mum arrivals come anywhere near the
estimates. In fact, the chrysanthemum
already dominates the market and the
flood has only just begun. Monrovia,
Unaka, Polly Rose, Cljrysolora, Yellow
Frost and Golden Queen are numerous.
Before another week passes there will
be as many varieties of mums as of
roses.

The prices of roses of all kinds are
weakening, including even the novelties
and Beauties; Short-stemmed roses, in
quantity, sell at from $1 to $2 per hun-
dred, but growers certainly have no
cause for complaint.

By the end of this week there should
be no left-overs of yellow mums, roses
or daisies, as the yellows, including yel-
low dahlias, also, if frost does not pre-
vent, will be honored by the suffra-
gettes, in their grand march up Fifth
avenue, October 23.

Beauties were down to 25 cents Octo-
ber 16. There was a break of about
twenty per cent in almost everything,
as compared with the week previous.
Orchids are down again, bringing only
25 cents for selected sorts. Gigas and
Dowiana in limited quantities are in
the market and these command higher
quotations. Oncidiums, however, are
selling at better prices than a week ago.

Dahlias are still a market feature.
The show and cactus kinds sell readily
at good prices, some as high as 50 cents
to $1 per dozen. Pansies, daisies, stevias
and calendulas are more abundant, and
violets have begun their six months'
visitation.

Good carnations are not yet plenti-
ful and the best of them sold at $4 per
hundred toward the close of last week.
There are plenty of arrivals not worth
half that price.

Tritomas, hydrangeas and calla lilies
are abundant. Gardenias improve daily.
Valley is not so scarce this week and
the best goes at $4 per hundred. Longi-
florum lilies hold well at the average
level of the month, the top price being
$8 per hundred.

annual meeting last week and elected

ROCHESTEE, N. Y.

The Market.

The market was brisk last week and
the fall season seems to have opened
better this year than last. In the first
part of the week stock was extremely
scarce, but more was forthcoming dur-
ing the latter half. Outdoor stock is
about over, and carnations, which at
this time are almost entirely relied
upon, have been scarce and poor. They
are improving, however, and are more
plentiful, but are still insufficient for
the demand. Chrysanthemums are com-
ing to the market in good shape, in
yellow, white and lavender. The yel-
lows, chiefly Chrysolora, are especially
fine and have sold fast. Roses are in
good condition, but in some varieties
a scarcity is noticed. The Francis
Scott Key rose is well liked here and
it keeps well. Ophelia, Sunburst and
Ward are good sellers. Double White
Killarney is in good shape. Sweet-
heart roses with bachelor's buttons
make up attractively in corsages.
Bouvardia is in the pink of condition
and is moving well. Pansies are plenti-
ful. Lilies are scarce. Valley is good,
but moves slowly. Orchids and gar-
denias are good and sell well. Tube-
roses continue to arrive and are much
used in funeral work. Daisies, lark-
-spurs, gaillardias, cosmos and ornamen-
tal grasses are used a great deal for
basket work, for which there is a
growing demand.

Varioua Notes.

Several members of the Rochester
Florists* Association met at the Cen-
tral Park hotel and enjoyed a game of
bowling. It is understood that the
Rochester bowlers are planning a trip
to Cleveland in the near future.

The fir A meeting of the Florists'
Association for the winter season was
held at the Musicians' Headquarters on
Monday evening, October 11. About
thirty were present. After the trans-

action of the regular business, John
Dunbar, assistant superintendent of
parks, spoke on his recent trip to
Boston and outlined the workings of
the Arnold Arboretum, It proved to be
a highly interesting talk. The chair-
man, Chas. H. Vick, announced some
good speakers for the coming meetings,
which will be held monthly.

Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., New
York, called on the trade last week.
He is booking some good Christmas
orders.

George Cramer recently purchased
about five tons of decorative rock for
window boxes and artificial ponds.

J. B. Keller Sons have had a large
and elaborate wedding decoration at
Hazleton, Pa., and four of their chief
help have been there for a week, with
F. J. Keller in charge. Wilfred Keller
expects to visit Philadelphia, Boston
and New York after this job is over.

The Lady Florists' Association held
the first monthly meeting of the sea-
son at the home of Mrs. W. Dumoiid,
at Brighton, N. Y., October 12. The
usual business was transacted and re-
freshments were served.

Charles W. Curtis is meeting with
splendid success in his first attempt at
chrysanthemum growing. His green-
house, which is 200 feet long, is full of
Chrysoloras and Bonnaflfons, all coming
along in fine shape. He has commenced
cutting Chrysoloras, which have fine
blooms, with stems over five feet long.

Arthur Zirkman, of the M. Rice Co.,
Philadelphia, had a fine layout at the
Seneca hotel last week. He reports ex-
cellent business in this city.

George T. Boucher, in his East ave-
nue window, has a fine display of well
colored crotons in various sizes. He
reports business exceptionally good.

H. E. Wilson has received a large
shipment of fancy baskets and basket
vases. His new window continues to
attract large crowds.

H. P. Neun has returned from his

PITTSBXTROH.

The Market.

. Last week the weather was delight-
ful. It almost seemed a shame that the
frost should have put an end to all out-
door flowers, especially when people
still are outdoors a great deal. Stock
of all kinds is scarce. The growers did
not have the usual number of early
chrysanthemums, which are now almost
over, and the later sorts are slow in
arriving. Carnations continue much
short of the demand; the same is true
of roses, especially in the shorter
grades. The only flowers plentiful are
beauties and orchids.

The wholesale houses clean up early
each day and the men have plenty of
time to devote to the supplies, which
are beginning to move better as the
season advances. The retailers all
seemed to be busy last week, a number
of large funerals being responsible for
most of the activity.

Various Notes.

W. C. Beckert has been busy with
bulb orders. His display windows are
attractively dressed with all kinds of

bulbs and no doubt they are responsi-
ble for the rush in that department.

Among the visitors last week were
Mrs. Mary A. Miller and son, of
Moundsville, W. Va., who were purchas-
ing supplies for the fall and holiday
season; Miss Weber, of Fairmont, W.
Va., and B. H. Walker, of Johnstown,
Pa. Clarke.

MILWAXTEEE.

The Market.

Business was good last week. Stock
has remained extremely scarce and or-
ders have so far exceeded the supply
that it has been a serious problem to
try to give everybody something. De-
spite the cuts on orders, there was not
nearly enough stock to go around and
many orders had to be turned down en-
tirely.

The supply of roses has increased to
some extent, but the demand has in-
creased much faster. Thejr are in fine
shape and, even though prices have ad-
vanced, everyone got his money's
worth. Carnations are slowly increas-
ing in supply and the cut will be much
larger within a week or so. The qual-
ity is fine and no complaints are heard,
although the prices run from $3 to $4
per hundred. The late chrysanthemums
are coming in more heavily and are of
excellent quality. Pompons also are
making their appearance. It is ex-
pected that this stock will be sufficient-
ly plentiful in a few days to ease mar-
ket conditions. In violets the single
stock is much better than the double,
but neither variety is in sufficient sup-
ply to cut much figure in the market.

Frosts have killed the outdoor stock,
and the loss of asters and dahlias has
helped, of course, to increase the de-
mand for roses and carnations. Stock
in general has been so high-priced that
some dry goods stores that have here-
tofore disposed of lots of cheap flow-
ers have been obliged to go without
much stock lately, as it is impossible
for them to offer bargains at present.

Various Notes.

William Lubliner, at 123 Grand ave-
nue, will be obliged to vacate his store
shortly, with all the other tenants of
the block, as work will shortly be
started there on a large modern build-
ing. He has secured a store at 225
Grand avenue, which is one of the
busiest spots in the city. There should
be no question of his success at the
new stand, as it has every advantage
of the old one and some added attrac-
tions.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. is just
completing two new houses at the
Brown Deer range. This addition will
be used for plants and will enable
the firm to increase its output mate-
rially. The entire range at Brown Deer
and the one at Humboldt avenue have
undergone a thorough overhauling and
are in exceptionally fine shape. Some
Chrysolora chrysanthemums that were
cut at Brown Deer last week were un-
usually fine and brought fancy prices.

J. M. Fox & Son had a large wed-
ding decoration last week. This, cou-
pled with the steady sales, kept the
firm exceptionally busy. They report
that they have some large orders for
future delivery.

A. McDonald, manager of Gimbel's
flower department, says that the busi-

ness has surpassed all expectations,
though he anticipated an exceptionally
good year.

M. A. McKenney & Co. were going
from morning till night last week and
they report that fall business has com-
menced with a rush, though somewhat
late in arriving. H. J. 8.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are coming in heav-
ily and the demand for them still is
strong. The opening of a large depart-
ment store October 18, with ceremonies
continuing throughout the week,
brought calls for a large quantity of
mums, Beauties, fancy roses, etc. Lilies
and valley are scarce.

Vaxious Notes.

The committee in charge of the bowl-
ing tournament is working hard to ar-
range a suitable list of prizes. H. P.
Knoble, general chairman of the flower
show committee, has offered a life mem-
bership in the S. A. F. as the grand
prize, to be rolled for by the high aver-
age man in each team and the five high
average men in the singles. Herbert
Bate, president of the Cleveland Flo-
rists ' Club, offers $10 in gold, to be
placed by the committee. It now looks
as though ten or twelve teams will
compete.

Visitors last week were Frank Far-
ney and George Hampton, of Philadel-
phia.

At the annual meeting of the J. M.
Qasser Co., held October 14, F. C. W.

OBITUARY

John White.

John White, one of the oldest horti-
culturists in the country, died at his
home, 1263 Waverly place, Elizabeth,
N. J., October 15, after a brief illness.
Mr. White was 90 years old. Death
was due to a general breakdown due
to old age.

Mr. White was born in Bedford, Eng-
land. When a young man he came to
this country and became a resident of
Jersey City. He had studied horticul-
ture in England. When he settled in
Jersey City he entered the florists'
business, establishing greenhouses there,
and also his store at 97 Nassau street,
New York city. A little over thirty
years ago he gave up his store in New
York and removed from Jersey City to
Elizabeth, where he erected greenhouses
at Waverly place. He retired from
business three years ago.

Mr. White's flowers were frequently
seen at horticultural exhibits, and he
often carried off prizes. He was the
originator of American Pride and Show
pansies. At one time he was a mem-
ber of several New York trade socie-
ties. He was the oldest member of
Washington lodge. No. 33, F. and A. M.
He is survived by one son, John
White, Jr., a florist; his daughter, Mrs.
D. A. Daland; a grandson, James White,
also a florist, and a second grandchild.

R. B. M.

William A. Ireland.

William A. Ireland, of Salem, Mass.,
died October 9 from injuries sustained
in a fall in the street a few days pre-
viously. The deceased was born at
Salem in the early days of 1833 and
was educated in the public schools, be-
ing a member of the twenty-first class
to enter the famous Salem English high
school. In 1877 Mr. Ireland started a
florists' business and conducted green-
houses at his home at Cabot and
Cypress streets, until ten years ago,
when he retired. He is survived by
a son, William, and two daughters,
Mrs. S. Blaney and Mary Ireland.

William H. Siaher.

William H, Maher, for several years
one of the best known private garden-
ers and florists of Newport, R. I., died
Columbus day, October 12, at his home
on Coggeshall avenue, Newport, after a
lingering illness. He was a son of the
late William H. and Margaret Maher,
and was in his thirty-ninth year. He
was unmarried. Two sisters made their
home with him. He was for several
years foreman of Hose Company No. 3,
of the volunteer fire department of
Newport. He was a member of the
Knights of Columbus and was aflSli-
ated with the Newport Horticultural
Society. W. H. M.

Charles B. Chase.

Charles B. Chase, who, although only
46 years of age, deserves to be classed
as one of the veterans among Chicago
retail florists, died October 13, after
an illness of several months with heart
and kidney disorders. Mr. Chase had
conducted his store at 2205 South Mich-
igan avenue for many years, with the
assistance of Mrs. Chase, who survives
him. Until his last illness he was con-

stantly present in the store, although
the loss of his sight, which was added
to his other physical disabilities, un-
fitted him for the tasks that he loved.
Mrs. Chase will continue the business.

David Tisch.

The trade in the San Francisco sec-
tion was grieved to learn of the death
last week of David Tisch, for years
manager of the nursery department of
the Henry M. Sanborn Co., of Oakland,
Cal., who passed away after a long ill-
ness at the age of 67. He was a native
of Germany, but spent most of his life
in this country, moving to the Pacific
coast many years ago from St. ' Loiiis.
Mr. Tisch was well known all over the
coast. He was a prominent member of
the I. O. O. F. and other organizations.

USINGEB'S UTTERANCES.

Charles A. Duerr, of Newark, O.,^ has
been unusually busy with funeral work
for the last few weeks.

The Kent Bros. Flower Shop, New-
ark, is showing Dutch bulbs, for which
there is an exceptionally good demand.
George B. Watkins, of Zanesville, O.,
is repairing and renovating his houses.

The florists of Coshocton, O., were
busy last week at the ^Coshocton fair.
Exhibits were made by S. M. Hamil-
ton, Edward Nash and Mrs. Emma J.
Clary.

I. A. Oldham, of Cambridge, O., who
recently took up the florists* business
again, has his houses in first-class con-
dition.

Frederick W. Arnold, of Cambridge,
is visiting the florists throughout the
southern and eastern parts of Ohio.

George Stanley Wehrley has bought
the store of the Misses Forbes and
Donahey, at Wheeling, W. Va. Mr.
Wehrley will use some novel decorations
in refurnishing the store.

John Hellstern, of Wheeling, is in the
midst of the fall rush, when hedges,
lawns and outdoor perennials have to
be looked after.

Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, has a
large display of bulbs. With the help
of attractive and unique signs in his
windows, he flnds a ready sale for them.

Frank C. Seibert, of Wheeling, who
spent six weeks in the west with his
wife, visiting the two expositions,
says that the west, to him, is greatly
overdrawn, both as to its climate and
scenery. "The West Virginia hills are
still the beauty spots in America to
me," he said.

Charles H. Miller, of Moundsville,
W. Va., has taken over the business of
his mother, Mrs. Mary Miller. After
making some improvements, he will
have a store that will rank well with
other flower stores in West Virginia for
beauty. W. T. U.

Ashtabula, O. — E. W. Stearns, lately
with A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell,
Conn., is now associated with Faust &
Lockwood, growers of roses and carna-
tions.

Newport, B. I. — The proposal to
merge the Newport Horticultural Soci-
ety, the Newport Garden Association
and the Newport Garden Club into one
organization has been abandoned. The.
yearly shows will continue to be held
under the joint auspices of the three or-
ganizations, however.

Business is decidedly better than it
was a year ago, but collections are not
noticeably easier.

The unusual height attained this sea-
son by most of the chrysanthemums is
attributed to the cool, damp summer.

A NOTEWORTHY factor in the business
is the large number of weddings now
taking place on Saturdays, otherwise
quite generally the florists' busy day.

If your store is to be considered at all
up-to-date you must have several cages
of canaries in it, and perhaps a number
of the little songsters loose in the show
house.

The early chrysanthemums have re-
turned the growers decidedly better
money than was obtained last season. If
the mid-season and later sorts pay as
well everyone will be happy.

When first frosts crowd greenhouse
space there always are large stocks of
ferns, worked up in summer, that are
pressing for a market. Next spring there
will be a different story, for then the
buyers will be hunting Bostons.

IMMORTELLES.

The steamer from Marseilles that ar-
rived at New York October 15 brought
126 cases of immortelles, 34 cases for
A. Herrmann, 63 cases for H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., and 29 cases consigned to
a forwarder.

The supply, while thought to be equal
to the needs of all the markets that
are open this year, is slow in coming
forward.

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:

TWO YEARS.

Lee, W. S.. New York. N. Y.
Tulis, James, South Sudbury, Mass.
Saling, J. W., Rahway, N. J.
Zetlitz, R., Lima, O.
Tansey, Thomas, Philadelphia, Pa. >
Rohrer, H. D., Lancaster, Pa.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

OCTOBER IS GOOD.

Business has been unusually good for
October and there are quite a few
growers who will find the month the
best they have had in more than' sijeeba'i
better even than the months that 'kkw
special flower days. While not all can
say October is better than last Decem-
ber, compared to last year's October
business, the increase is most encourag-
ing; the season promises unusually
well.

The most satisfactory feature of the
month's business is that practically
everyone seems to be sharing in it. Re-
ports from all the principal cities tell
much the same story — demand is so
brisk that prices are not only much
better than at this time last year, but
they are even better than at this sea-
son in normal years and the growers
who are cutting anything like their
usual crops are recouping some of the
losses of the preceding months.

of wheat, almost a quarter billion bush-
els of barley, and a hundred million
tons of hay, if the twenty million esti-
mated tons of wild hay, a crop not here-
tofore reported upon, be included.

According to the reports received by
the department, prospects improved
during September for all of these crops.
The conditions during the month were
generally favorable to the maturity of
growing crops, to harvesting and to fall
plowing. The proportion of warm and
sunny days was higher than in prior
months, though there were rather gen-
eral storms toward its close. The mois-
ture for the month was normal or .be-
low, except in portions of the northr'^ap- |
tral states, particularly the northern
tier. The droughty conditions in some
gulf and western states were relieved
by late rains in most states affected.
Frost did little damage, except in por-
tions of the extreme northern states.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.

HELP FOR FATHER SCHOENER.

The Portland news-letter this week
reports the destruction by fire October
9 of the church, residence and garden
of Father Schoener, of Brooks, Ore.
Rose growers know Father Schoener as
an indefatigable hybridizer, whose col-
lection numbered varieties from every
continent, and who has produced as high
as 120,000 hybridized rose seeds in one
season. ^

Robert Pyle, of Conard & Jones Co.,
West Grove, Pa., asks The Review to
open its columns for the appeal in his
behalf. "If you find it possible to
make editorial mention regarding this
I shall certainly appreciate it, as will
also Father Schoener, for whom I am
sure that every good-hearted florist
will be glad to do what he can,"
writes Mr. Pyle, who says:

"Send your contributions to S. S.
Pennock, president of the American
Rose Society, 1618 Ludlow street, Phila-
delphia, Pa., who will acknowledge and
forward same. May your response be
prompt. Thank you."

CROP CONDITIONS.

With good grain crops florists in gen-
eral are assured a prosperous season, so
it is a satisfaction to note the estimates
of the Department of Agriculture for
October 1, which show record crops of
wheat, oats, barley and hay, and a corn
crop closely approaching the record.
The returns to the department indicate
a productiOTi of approximately three bil-
lion bushels of corn, one and a half bil-
lion bushels of oats, one billion bushels

'H^ Weekly weather forecast, is-

^^^^ sued by the U. S. Weather
1^^^^ Bureau, Washington, D. C, for
1^^ the week beginning Wednes-
' day, October 20, 1915:

For the Region of the Great
Lakes — There will be rain
October 20 over the northern
portion of the upper Lake dis-
trict, extending that night and
October 21 throughout the Lake region
generally. After October 21 the weather
will be generally fair, with somewhat
lower temperatures for a day or two.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — With the exception of
local rains October, 8Q i^ .-It© upper
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys,
the weather will be generally fair dur-
ing the week, although unsettled weath-
er is again probable over the extreme
northwest toward the end of the week.
It will be somewhat cooler October 20
in the northwest, and on October 21
in the upper Mississippi valley.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
Fair weather October 20 and 21 will be
followed by rain about October 22, and
by generally fair weather during the
remainder of *he week. Temperatures
will be somewhat above the seasonal
average during the grfeater part of the
week.

For South Atlantic and East Gulf
States — Rain October 20, probably con-
tinuing October 21 along the South
Atlantic coast. Otherwise generally fair
weather will prevail during the week.
Temperatures will be moderate.

For the West Gulf States — Generally
fair weather is indicated for the week,
with moderate temperatures.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The Chicago market, though still
anomalously short for this time of the
year, is appreciably easier than it was
last week, and a few more days of
warm weather would quite probably re-
sult in a plethora, of chrysanthemums
at least. Demand was far in excess of
supply the latter part of last week,
but the bad weather October 17 caused
a noticeable cessation in the call,
though not enough to interfere with the
market's clearing. The present week
opened with a short, firm market and
a quiet demand that proved sufficient
to take care of all receipts.

Mention The Review when yoo write.

Some of the Beauties coming into the
market are of excellent quality, and
though more plentiful in supply than
other roses are yet short enough to
clear each day. All other varieties of
roses continue scarce, and prices ac-
cordingly show no tendency to weaken.
Quality, on the whole, is unusually
good. Demand, though by no means
discriminating, favors the red varie-
ties. But under conditions like those
now prevailing in the Chicago market,
this becomes a negligible factor, for
all alike move. Mrs. Russell is in spe-
cial request.

Chrysanthemums are much more
plentiful than anything else in the mar-
ket. And while there is some excellent
stock available, there is a noticeable
quantity that falls somewhat below the
usual standard of quality. Smith's Ad-
vance and Golden Glow have gone.
October Frost is singing its swan song.
Touset has arrived on the scene, and
Unaka and Pacific Supreme can be sup-
plied in almost any quantity. Pompons
now are available in considerable quan-
tity and are selling well.

Carnations are improving in quality
every day. Stems are longer, flowers
are larger and color is materially truer.
Carnations, always popular even when
plentiful and of indifferent quality, do
not require the services of a salesman
to move them now. The diflBcult thing
in this market is to fill orders.

Single violets are becoming more
plentiful, but the supply is remarkably
short for this time of the year. It is
needless to say those received are
picked up at once. The first doubles
from the Hudson river district arrived
this week. Easter lilies and rubrums
still find a ready sale, although the
former are much more plentiful than in
the last few weeks. Valley growers
contrive to keep the supply just short
of the demand. There are a few asters
and some short snapdragons to be seen,
but not in sufficient quantities to cut
any figure.

Greens are enjoying a continuance of
last week's demand.

THE STUFF THAT STANDS

—that's the kind to buy, it's the kind to sell, it's the kind you get if
you trade in Quality Cuts. Flowers for fall, or any other season, must
be of a high standard of quality or Eennicott Bros. Co. won't try to
sell them.

It isn't the Rascus that's scarce this season, tboueh
there's none too much of that— it's the DYE.
Nearly all coal tar dyes, which come from Ger-
many, are worth today many times the normal
price— some coJors are so scarce they are not to be had
at any price. Red -the real Christmas red— is one of
t^ese. Those who own it can't be tempted to sell; those
who hare none will have to ask their customers to accept
an off -color red this Christmas.

Months ago we realized that the dye would be the important
thing and we hunted up, bougrht and stored enoug^h
dye to color our usual quantity. You can get the real

Ctiristmas Red Ruscus of us as usual.

We hope our regular customers 'will order at once, as we expect
a big rush for Ruscus as soon as the trade finds out how scarce the right
color is.

Various Notes.

A corporation has been formed to
conduct the Warrington Flower Shop,
in the Warrington Theater building at
Oak Park. The opening will take place
October 27. The manager will be F.
Wolfram, formerly with A. Lange.

The condition of John Poehlmann,
who for the last week has been a pa-
tient in the German hospital, is much
improved. Mr. Poehlmann is suffering
from an inflammation of the perito-
neum, and it was thought for a while
that an operation would be advisable,
but an X-ray examination revealed that
this would not be necessary. He was
taken to his home October 20, where he
will be under the close observation of
the attending physicians.

Negotiations looking to another addi-
tion to the colony of wholesale florists
in the new Le Moyne building are
still hanging fire, but probably will be
closed within a few days.

The death of C. B. Chase is reported
in this week's obituary column.

servatory back of his store in the
Palmer House block. He will carry a
considerable stock of plants. One of
the season 's additions is a large display
case for ribbons, art pottery and other
accessories. Negotiations are under
way for the widening of the store by
taking a part of the space now occu-
pied by the Palmer House barber shop.

Two carloads of Chinese lily bulbs
reached Chicago last week, consigned
to the Central Warehouse Co., which
distributed the shipment among houses
in the trade.

This is the day to wish August F.
Poehlmann many happy returns. He
was born October 21, 1869, so he is 46
today.

The illness of Mrs. J. F. Kidwell
keeps Mr. Kidwell close at home at
Downers Grove.

Did you ever hear of a rose grower
whose October sales exceeded those of
the previous Decembert Well, that is
the record Wendland & Keimel Co.,
£lmhurst, expects to make this month.

The chrysanthemum show at San
Francisco opens this week and C. W.
Johnson, secretary of the C. S. A., is
in attendance as juror, expenses paid
by the exposition. He started October
16.

The only thing to do when you are
not busy or when business is not all
you could ask is to boost, says Joseph
Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster. What
the Chicago market needs more than
anything else, he thinks, is boosters
and not growlers.

A new traveling representative in
the south has been added to the force
of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., in the per-
son of A. M. Sanders. Mr. Sanders
was formerly with S. S. Skidelsky &
Co., Philadelphia, Pa.

"You must keep pace with the neigh-
borhood," says Emil Eeichling, super-
intendent of the Peter Reinberg green-
houses. And as he generally squares his
actions with his words, painters are
busy making the houses fresh and
white.

The shortage of stock that has pre-
vailed for the last two weeks has cre-
ated in Fred Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros.,
a desire for more space in which to
grow fancy roses.

A carload of Japanese bulbs was re-
ceived last week by A. Henderson &
Co. This, however, is only part of the
shipment.

motored out Milwaukee avenue October
16 to witness the dedication of a 2-
mile stretch of newly completed con-
crete highway, which is to run through
Niles Center to the limits of the
county. Miss Louise Redfield, cousin
of H. B. Kennicott and B. R. Brenton,
, of Kennicott Bros. Co., served as * ' Miss
Niles" and christened the new road
with a bottle of champagne. Standing
nearby and lending her moral support
was Miss Virginia Poehlmann, daugh-
ter of August Poehlmann, of Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., who recently played
the stellar role in a similar perform-
ance at the opening of Milwaukee
avenue.

A. T. Eichel, who trades as the Irving
Park Florist, 4226 North Crawford ave-
nue, received azaleas from Belgium last
week. They were in excellent condi-
tion.

Mt. Greenwood cemetery never looked
better than it does this autumn. The
oaks have colored gorgeously and the
Japanese barberries are aflame. It is
no wonder Mr. Rudd welcomes . visitors,
for they spread the fame of his gar-
dening. The greenhouses are spick-and-
span, as usual. Most of the carnations
on the benches, and many of the mums,
are C. W. Johnson's seedlings.

The United States Moving Pictures
Co., of which Peter Reinberg is a direc-
tor, has secured a half interest in a 99-
year lease on 100 feet of State street
frontage, between Jackson boulevard
and Van Buren street, on which it
will build * * the finest moving picture the-
ater in the United States," to quote
the advertisements. Mr. Reinberg 's
company already operates several thea-
ters and is negotiating for others.

A new White truck, carrying the
name of the Lawndale Floral Co., is
attracting a great deal of attention in
the West Twenty-second street district.
V. A. Kahout believes it will prove a
fine addition to his equipment.

Plans and preparations for the re-
moval of the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association into its new quarters in
the lie Moyne building, at the end of
the month, are occupying most of the
time of Manager Paul Klingsporn.

A house 22x100 is being added to
the range of John Vachout, 4518 North
Crawford avenue.

A quite unique window display at-
tracts the attention of those passing
the store of the W. W. Barnard Co.
Against a background of autumn leaves
is staged a bit of a garden — blooming
hyacinths in formal rows, a circle filled
with flowering tulips and a profusion
of conservatory and garden novelties.
Of course the flowers are artificial, but
the effect is the same, and that is what
counts. A carload of Japanese bulbs
was received last week.

C. A. Samuelson's presence on the
market October 18 is worth recording,
it is so seldom he visits the wholesalers
in person.

The distinction of being the only flo-
rist to have an exhibit at Chicago's
Second Annual Home Exposition, being
held in the Coliseum, belongs to Schiller
the Florist.

After being confined to his home by
a case of blood poisoning resulting
from an infected tooth, David D. P.
Roy is again at the office. Mr. Roy
has filed suit against the dentist for
malpractice in treating the wrong tooth,
thus causing the infection.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

An active market continued October
14, 15 and 16, but fell away October 18,
19 and 20 under the influence of warm
weather with increased receipts. The
dahlias revived from Jack Frost's slap
October 10; it took several days for
them to get fairly started again and
their ranks were thinned, but they got
started with a rush, making October 16
the greatest dahlia day of the season.
One wholesale house disposed of 50,000
dahlias on that day alone and others
marketed large numbers. The demand
for dahlias shows signs of falling off
now, because of the increased receipts
of chrysanthemums. The early varieties
of chrysanthemums have been replaced
by others of better quality; in yellow,
Chrysolora is noticeably an improve-
ment over its predecessors. This ap-
plies to white chrysanthemums, where
Early Snow is foremost, and to pink,
although Pacific Supreme, while a finer
flower, is hardly so pronounced in color
as Unaka. The high prices recorded
on carnations last week have dropped,
because of the larger supply and the
more numerous chrysanthemums. It
could not be expected that the Thanks-
giving prices of last year on carnations
could be maintained so early this sea-
son before killing frost. Roses are
more plentiful, but they continue to
sell well, particularly good stock. Or-
chids have advanced from the low level
of two weeks ago, although there is
no strength in the demand. Gardenias
are scarce and high. Valley is in active
request and likely to continue so.
Easter lilies have been bringing good
prices; they have receded slightly. Cos-
mos has been in request.

National Committee Doings.

The members of the National Flower
Show committee were busy during the
two days' session. A visit was made to

Convention hall, where the flower show
will be held, and a trip to the P. A. B.
Widener place, at Ogontz, proved inter-
esting to the visitors. The meetings of
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
and the Florists' Club were attended
and proved most enthusiastic. Every
speaker was heartily applauded. The
net result of the meetings was an in-
crease in the show advertising appro-
priation to $5,000, to cover the cost of
posters, poster stamps, window cards
and newspaper notices. About 50,000
show programs will be judiciously dis-
tributed by the committee. During the
show next spring. Convention hall will

be heated by a vacuum expert. The
cost of renting, heating and removing
the chairs from Convention hall will
not exceed $1,000. A permanent show
office will be opened at the Widener
arcade building next week.

the gingery chairman of the committee,
I submit the following:

That a debate be arranged for Tues-
day, December 7, between two of the
club's silver-tongued orators. Subject:
"Buying Cut Flowers Below Cost of
Production." "How to Achieve It,"
by Charles H. Grakelow; "How to Pre-
ve»t It," by Alfred M. Campbell. Ten
minutes to be allowed on each side;
five minutes for rebuttal, five minutes
for surrebuttal.

The clubroom committee would have
to provide extra chairs that night.

Past and Present.

There are a good many florists all
over the country, in cities, towns, ham-
lets and villages, reached by the orange-
covered Review, who would like to
know just what effect the absence of
the master hand has had on the green-
houses of Godfrey Aschmann. For
nearly a year the hand and brain that
for 80 long guided the place have been
absent. What difference has it made!
To the visitor walking through the
houses today the answer is clear. The
mantle of the father has descended on
the son, who is worthily carrying on
the work. The greenhouses are full
of well grown plants that are in excel-
lent condition, ready to meet the re-

quirements of the market in their sea-
son. John Godfrey Aschmann was out
when I called, so his lieutenant, George
H. Holpp, courteously acted as guide.
The ferns filled several houses. They
comprise the old Boston, Scottii, Whit-
mani Improved, a pleasing variety;
Teddy, Jr., the best of all, which
everyone will want when they know it,
and a good assortment for ferneries.
Araucaria excelsa and A. glauca are
perfect "little Christmas trees," good
enough to please anyone. There are a
number of houses of flowering plants,
including Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
Gloire de Chatelaine, magnifica and
luminosa. Primula obconica (there were
no whites) and P. Chinensis. The flow-
ering plant that interested me most was
the azalea, a whole house of home-
grown plants in three fine varieties that
looked most promising. The kentias,
C0C08 and dracaenas were all good, ac-
centuating the favorable impression
made by the ferns and araucarias.

Various Notes.

The National Flower Show commit-
tee of the Society of American Florists
met in the Bellevue-Stratford October
19. The chiefs of the local committees
gathered the day before to perfect their
plans before submitting them to the

whole committee. A special meeting of
the Florists' Club was held in Horti-
cultural hall October 19, to meet the
National Flower Show committee and
go over with it the plans for the forth-
coming show, to be held in Convention
hall, March 25 to April 2, 1916. The
outlook is encouraging.

The October meeting of the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society was held
in Horticultural hall October 19.

The CoUingdale Greenhouses have
achieved a good reputation for Aspara-
gus plumosus. The business in seed-
lings is nation-wide.

Arthur iLush will open a flower store
at 5231 Ridge avenue, Wissahickon,
October 30.

The M. Rice Co. has been working
overtime on the made-in-America stock,
which is in heavy demand.

William Graham, star decorator for
J. J. Habermehl's Sons, arranged the
bouquets for his daughter's wedding
October 14, using the new polyantha
roses, Cameo, white, and a pink that is
called Sweet Marie.

George S. Faulkner has accepted .a
position with the Century Flower Shop.

The London Flower Shop will have

Baer is an ardent suffragist, with the

The Market.

The rising temperature last week in-
creased the production of flowers of all
kinds. Quality in many lines, however,
is not all that could be expected. Prac-
tically every day during the week the
wholesale and commission houses were
compelled to refuse orders for valley.
Growers in this section are apparently
continuing to conserve their supplies of
pips, realizing that the shipments from
abroad are difficult, if not impossible,
to obtain. They are dividing their
stocks so as to have sufficient to carry
them through the winter. As a result
of this shortage the price of valley has
again risen to $5 per hundred.

The Market.

Wholesale prices were high again last
week, so high that florists who have
a medium-class trade bought only spar-
ingly. With carnations costing 4 and 5
cents each wholesale, and chrysanthe-
mums running from $3 to $5 a dozen,
florists who have but little trade in
wealthy circles find it diflScult to
charge a price that will allow a fair
profit. While carnations and chrysan-
themums are improving in quality, they
are not yet up to the best standard.
The chrysanthemums are good, but are
the smaller varieties. The growers are
much pleased with the condition of
their plants, and it will be only a cou-
ple of weeks or so before there will be
an abundance of the finest of blooms.
Recent frosts have injured the asters.
Considerable numbers are still coming
to the market, but they are far less
abundant than they were and the qual-
ity is poor. They help in the making
of funeral pieces until better flowers
can be secured at reasonable prices.
Roses are fairly abundant and of good
quality. Orchids are fine and quite
plentiful; they bring a good price.
There are soijae fine dahlias in the mar-
ket, bnt the frosts have begun to hit
this crop.

what improved and money coming in
more easily.

Charles Momm .^, 3pns, ^the nursery-
men at Irvington, ..-report that the fall
business is opening well.

Ludolff & Kautzman, at 109 Spring-
field avenue, say that funerals and wed-
dings are bringing considerable busi-
ness, but counter trade is slow. The
« fact that building and loan association
■ receipts in this vicinity are heavier
than ever before would indicate that
many people think it wise to invest
their surplus money where it will be
safe until business uncertainties are
past.

Henry Breninger, at Springfield' aVe-
nue and Eighteenth street, is making
alterations in his store. He has had a
good deal of funeral work and some
wedding decorations of late, but reports
business generally a little slow.

At Jahn's, 453 Springfield avenue,
business is said to be spotty. For a
week or so trade may be brisk, and
then for a like period it is quiet.. The
outlook, however, is fair. R. B. M.

SCRANTON^ PA.

The Market.

Business last week was good. Stock
of all kinds cleaned up at excellent
prices. A killing frost has ended all
outdoor flowers. Carnations are scarce
on account of the dark weather. Chrys-
anthemums are plentiful and of good
quality. They bring good prices. Roses
are plentiful, with Russell in the lead
as the best seller.

Various Notes.

October 16 witnessed the opening of
the New York Floral Co. branch store,
at 401 ' Spruce street. This is one of
the best locations in Scranton and on
opening day the store did a flourishing
business. Gustavo Bernstein, formerly
with Alex. Warendorflf, of New York,
is in charge of the store. Among
the many artistic baskets in the
window, I make special mention of a
large basket of gorgeous exhibition
mums. A large numl)er of floral gifts
were received from out-of-town florists.

Morel Bros, had the decorations at
the church and home for the Henderson-
Beed wedding.

This department for this , carda of
Iieading Betall Florists — those flo-
rlsts who lutve the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness; a branch of the trade now estab-
lldied for aU time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on increasing for
many years.

Are you sending and receiylng your
■hare of these orders? You can send
yodr share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you let|
your customers know you I
can perform this service I
for them. To receive your|
share — well. The Bevlew's department
for Betailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This is
for one-inch space. Other spaces in
proportion.

Why not send your order today — ^now
— before you forget it?

The Market.

Cut flowers have been exceedingly
scarce. This was due to the fact that
last week there was little sunshine.
Florists were handicapped to a great
extent as a result, ^especially as a
large amount of funeral work created
demands which could nojj be filled.
Carnations were few, and, with prac-
tically no roses on the market, florists
found themselves battling with the
greatest cut flower scarcity that has
prevailed in this city in years.

A fine cut of chrysanthemums is ob-
tainable now. Due to the fact that
all outdoor flowers are gone, a great
demand exists for mums.

Some fine specimens of Hoosier
Beauty and Killarney are on the mar-
ket, but there are not enough blooms
to supply the wants of the trade.

Week of Conclave.

The first half of last week was a
busy period for the florists, when the
Knights Templar of the state of Ohio
assembled for their annual conclave.
Extra help was required by many stores
to handle the large amount of work
during the three days of the conclave.
Never before in Toledo were so many
flowers used at one time for decorations
and corsage bouquets.

The largest order received by a
Toledo florist was that given to Metz
& Bateman for the decorations used in
the Masonic Temple. Earl Metz, mem-

The walls and ceilings of the four floors
of the Temple were covered with wild
smilax, which was varied by large
clusters of Hoosier Beauty roses. The
assembly room, the main lobby and the
rails of the marble staircases were
decorated with clusters of American
Beauties. Besides the decoration at the
Temple, Metz & Bateman also deco-
rated for a banquet given at the Toledo
Club by the local Masonic body. These
decorations were of Killarney roses
and adiantum.

The Boody House and Hotel Secor,
where various commanderies had their
headquarters, were handsomely deco-
rated also. The florists who had charge
of these decorations were Mrs. J. B.
Freeman, Schramm Bros., and Miss
Helen Patten.

Metz & Bateman, Schramm Bros., and
Mrs. J. B.. Freeman, together with Max

a large emblem of the Knights Tem-
plar in the center of the window.
Along the front of the window she dis-
played some choice orchids.

Miss Patten had her large show win-
dow handsomely arranged with ferns
and palms, surrounding a large cross
and crown which stood about eight feet
high.

Schramm Bros, produced a pleasing
effect by a unique color system of elec-
tric lighting, which threw bright rays
on a huge cross of red carnations and
a crown of Aaron Ward roses. Fine
orchids added to the beauty of the
window.

Memorial hall was handsomely deco-
rated with yellow chrysanthemums and
red roses, the official colors of the
Masonic order. (Large groups of these
with banks of palms added to the
splendor of the assembly room, where
the officials of the order held their fare-
well meeting. ,

Club Meeting.

At a meeting of the Toledo Florists'
Club, held October 12, at the store of
Max Spanner, much business was trans-
acted in regard to the flower show
which will be staged at the Museum of
Art, November 8 to 10. Arthur
Kneisle was appointed to visit all local
florists and learn the details as to the
exhibits to be made. He will report to
the board of directors at the next meet-
ing. Everyone is working with might
and soul to make the show a success.
Meetings of the club will be held every
Tuesday night until the week of the
show.

William Krueger and .T. L. Schiller
have been appointed as the show com-
mittee. William Phillips will take care
of securing the necessary equipment
for the table decorations. The florists
feel that the show will place Toledo
in line with other cities of its size when
it comes to putting on a real event of
this kind.

for George Bayer, will be pleased to

The Market.

The arrival of increasing numbers of
chrysanthemums, hurried along by the
mild October weather, is causing an all-
around recession in prices. This has
been anticipated and growers are glad
to have had at least a fortnight of
really good business. The leading
chrysanthemums coming in are Unaka,
Chrysolora, Halliday, October Frost, Pa-
cific and Polly Eose. Golden Glow and
Advance are over. Prices so far have
held up well, but are now showing a
steady decline. Roses have been sell-
ing remarkably well at good prices, but
are now cheaper. Beauties have sold
well; so have Hadley, Bussell, Ophelia,
Miller and Sunburst. In fact, there
has been little left-over stock of any
kind.

Carnations are not selling so well and
have dropped much more in price than
roses. The quality steadily improves.
Violets are as yet small, but all are
easily sold. Lily of the valley is of
good quality and has been in good
demand. Lilium longiflorum is in a lit-
tle better supply. Some asters and
gladioli still arrive, but these are now
small. Dahlias are seen in small lots,
but these never cut any figure in the
markets here. Cattleya labiata and
Oncidium Rogersii are abundant. Some
Cypripedium insigne is also coming in.
Gardenias are scarce. Sweet peas come

Club Meeting.

There was a large and enthusiastic
attendance at the club meeting October
19, when the attraction was a stere-
opticon lecture on the flora and gar-
dens of Japan, by E. H. Wilson, of the
Arnold Arboretum. Mr. Wilson re-
turned a few months ago from a year's
collecting trip in Japan in the inter-
ests of the arboretum, and his descrip-
tions of the trees, flowers, gardens and
people of Japan were deeply interest-
ing and instructive.

It was voted to offer a $50 silver cup
at one of the exhibitions of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society in 1916.
The landscape classes, it was an-
nounced, would resume just as soon as
the necessary number of students had<.
enrolled.

Max Schling, of New York, who
should have been the lecturer ^f the
evening on "Floral Art," telegraphed
his inability to attend, as he had five
wedding orders for October 19. He
promised to come at a later date, how-
ever. Several communications were
read relative to the Cleveland flower
show, which several members hope to
attend.

It was reported to the meeting that
William Downs was quite sick and a
letter of good cheer was forwarded to
him. Three applications for member-
ship were favorably acted upon.

Some noteworthy exhibits were
shown, including a collection of dahlias
from W. A. Manda and Carnation Miss
Theo by Littlefield & Wyman, of North
Abington, Mass. The Wm. W. Edgar
Co., of Waverley, Mass., exhibited a col-
lection of plants. William Craig showed
Buddleia magnifica.

Cyclamen growers will be interested
to learn that the club has offered a
silver cup valued at $50 for the best
exhibit of twelve cyclamens at the Bos-
ton spring show. Another matter taken
care of at this meeting was the ap-
pointment of a committee op landscape
classes. Its members are F. E. Palmer,

Schedules have been issued for the

with the New England county fair, at
Mechanics building, October 23 to 30.
Good prizes are offered for roses, car-
nations, chrysanthemums, violets and
other flowers; also for groups and table
decorations. The Cooperative Flower

the committee being W. H. Elliott,
president; John McFarland, Donald Car-

A. G. Pembroke, one of the most pop-
ular salesmen at the Flower Exchange,
is back from his pleasure and business
trip to New York. He rather fooled
his market associates by getting mar-
ried while away. The young lady was
Miss Lena Bunce, of Berkshire, Eng-

7, after a stormy voyage on the S. S.

Bound the Corner, New York, after
which the young couple spent their
honeymoon in seeing some of the sights
of Gotham and later the Berkshire hUls.
The young couple have the sincere good
wishes of a host of friends.

The W. W. Edgar Co. is cutting
some fine Halliday, Pacific and Polly
Rose mums. The firm's cyclamens are
better than ever and are selling fast.
Begonias, poinsettias and other winter
stock are all looking remarkably well.

Good sweet peas are coming in from
A. A. Pembroke, North Beverly, and
Fred J. Bell, Stoughton. All are at
present of the grandifiora type. *

Wax Bros, had orders for 167 cor-
sage bouquets from Wellesley College
October 16. They were certt^nly a
beautiful lot, the choicest flowers be-
ing used. Both funeral and wedding or-
ders have been numerous and the stalf
has never been busier. They had an
attractive window of yellow mums for
the great equal suffrage parade, Octo-
ber 16. Everyone entering the store of
Wax Bros, receives a cordial welcome
from a big, dark and handsome Maltese
cat, which makes an excellent mascot.

William A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, has
a fine stock of begonias, cyclamens,
poinsettias and primulas for the win-
ter trade. He has finished cutting his
early mums,

Thomas Cox, of Dorchester, has good
October Frost mums and Cypripedium
insigne. He will commence cutting
Bonnaffon mums this week.

William H. Elliott is at present
strong on Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward, Kil-
larney Queen and Mignon roses. As-
paragus is in much better demand. He
is a large grower of both plumosus and
Sprengeri.

At Carbone 's, trade has been remark-
ably good of late. They have received
large importations from Europe, in
spite of the great decrease in the num-

ber of ocean carriers. * Mr. Carbone is
not expected back from his European
trip until early in November.

N. E. Boyle, of Maiden, is sending
in a fine lot of Ophelia, Sunburst, Kil-
larney and Bichmond roses. He does
not find Hadley nearly so satisfactory
as Richmond.

Penn had a beautiful yellow window
for the great equal suffrage parade,
October 16. The same day he had great
numbers of set pieces for the opening of
Posner's and Chamberlain's stores. He
also had the Bowles-Lowell wedding, at
Arlington church. Miss Bowles, a
daughter of Admiral Bowles, carried a
shower bouquet of Ward roses and val-
ley. The bridesmaids carried bouquets
of Christie-Miller roses, and gardenias
were used for boutonnieres.

William Hannan & Son, of Dorches-
ter, are cutting an excellent lot of
Chrysolora, October Frost and Unaka
chrysanthemums.

Edward Bingham, of Dedham, has a
splendid lot of October Frost mums.
His single violets are also coming
along well.

Richard D. Kimball, of Waban, is
in the market with a superior lot of
pink snapdragons. His carnations are
all doing well.

The great equal suffrage parade of
15,000 women, October 16, created a
lively demand for yellow mums. The
antis used red flowers in profusion, but
these were mainly artificial. The suf-
frage question is the leading one in
Massachusetts this year and it has cer-
tainly benefited the florists' business.

The Hanover Greenhouses are cut-
ting a nice crop of Chrysolora mums.
This is a remarkably good seller here.

A. N. Eaton, of South Sudbury, is
sending in good Alice, Pink Delight,
White Enchantress, Fenn and Qloriosa
carnations. W. N. C.

The Market.

The local market vras excellent last
weelt. Stock moved v^rell. Good prices
were paid for mums, which are begin-
ning to arrive in large numbers. The
yellovF and white varieties are readily
obtainable, but only a few pink are
offered. Roses are showing improve-
ment in stem and color. The demand
for these, however, is slow, mums hav-
ing first call. Carnations are not mov-
ing so well as expected. The supply
was generous last week and the blooms
of extra good quality. Prices averaged
$2 per hundred. Violets are dragging;
the supply greatly exceeds the demand.
Other flowers to be had are valley, or-
chids, cosmos and snapdragons. Greens
of all kinds are splendid. Several of
the leading retailers report that trade
is beginning to g^row steady. A large
volume of business was handled last
week in all lines.

Olub Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
monthly meeting October 14, on the
grounds of the Bourdet Floral Co. 'the
invitation from the president to meet'
at his home seemed to have a good ef-
fect on the members and eighty re-
sponded. President Bourdet was pre-
sented with a neatly decorated gavel
by the members of his family.

All committees made reports. It was
decided to appoint the various commit-
tees for the convention of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society, at the Decem-
ber meeting.

A communication from the Cleveland
Florists' Club, inviting the St. Louis
Florists' Club to visit Cleveland dur-
ing the flower show, was read. The
members voted to accept the invitation
and a transportation committee was ap-
pointed consisting of David Scott
Geddis, chairman; H. Q. Berning and
W. J. Pilcher.

Fred Frow and Thomas C. Carr were
elected to membership and applications
were filed by Arthur Waldman, E. D.
Emme and Alfred Werner.

W. S. Wells, vice-president-elect, and
W. W. Ohlweiler, trustee-elect, were in-
stalled in oflBce.

A discussion on the holding of a
spring flower show was started by A.
Jaenicke and J. F. Ammann. The presi-
dent appointed the trustees, together
with Mr. Jaenicke and George B.

ANDREW BATHER, 210 6th Av«.

Eastern Iowa— Western Illinois

"Windier, to report on the advisability
of holding a spring show. Samuel Selig-
man, with Wertheimer Bros., New York,
was present and talked on the flower
show to be held in Cleveland. Mr.
Seligman took part in a discussion on
corsage bouquets and why more of
them are not used. The question box
discussion ended this most interesting
meeting.

A luncheon was served, after which
an inspection of the greenhouses was
made. Everything was found ship-
shape. The members extended to Mr.
Bourdet and his family a hearty vote
of thanks for the pleasant afternoon.

Varioiis Notes.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle met
October 13, at the home of Mrs. Emil
Schray. The next meeting will be at
the home of Mrs. George B. Windier,
4959 Delore avenue, November 10.

Adolph Jaenicke was one of the
judges at a floral exhibition held at
Webster Groves. Jules Bourdet acted
in the same capacity at the St. Louis
county fair.

Hugo M. Schaflf, landscape gardener
for the board of education, says that
he and his big force of men are kept
busy on school grounds throughout the
city.

The Shackelford Nursery Co., at St.
Charles road, received a large importa-
tion of bulbs last week. This company
has a large force of men at work plant-
ing on the new tract of land which it
bought recently.

William F. Gude, of Washington,
D. C, who is well known in St. Louis,
was with us last week, not in person,
but in the movies, where he was in full
view on the screen as chairman of the
committee which entertained the old
soldiers during the recent G. A. R. con-
vention.

Joseph Witek, of 4748 McPherson
avenue, is noted for his artistic win-
dow displays, which attract many of
the society people to his place. Mr.
Witek says trade has been splendid of
late.

John Steidle's rose consignments to
H. G. Berning are fine. His Hadley,
Ward and Russell are high in color
and have good stems and fine foliage.

Mr. Berning says he has no trouble in
disposing of this stock.

The Retail Florists' Association held
a well attended meeting October 18, at
the Mission Inn Garden. Several appli-
cations for membership were received.

Vincent Gorly, head of Grimm &
Gorly, is now buyer in the wholesale
district. Marion Uhlschmidt is buyer
for the east side store of this firm.
Mr. Gorly says that trade has been ex-
cellent of late, especially the transient
trade during the bright, clear days of
last week.

William C. Young, head of the Young
Bros. Floral Co., on Waterman avenue,
reports that his firm will have a formal
opening this week. Many invitations
have been mailed.

George Waldbart and the Ayres
Floral Co., at Grand and Olive streets,
like the way business is moving.

The greenhouses of Otto Eirech, at
7035 Gravois avenue, were destroyed
by fire last week. The damage was es-
timated at $2,000. David Sheppard, an
employee, who is a deaf-mute, nearly
lost his life. The timely arrival of a
patrolman, who knew Mr. Sheppard and
knew of his affliction, saved him from
death.

J. F. Amman, of Edwardsville, 111.,
vice-president of the American Carna-
tion Society, says he will go to Cleve-
land to attend the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of this society. He
intends to accompany the St. Louis dele-
gation. J, J. B.

Preildent, John M. Lapton. Mattltack, L. I.;
■ecretary-TrMBnrer, 0. B. Kendel, Clereland, O.

Small shipments of Chinese sacred
lilies have reached the trade during the
last week.

California is waiting anxiously for
the beginning of the autumn rains, now
somewhat overdue.

The Gurney Seed & Nursery Co., of
Yankton, S. D., is erecting a 4-8tory
warehouse, 75x78 feet.

Fifty tons of Japanese bulbs arrived
in Chicago over the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway October 14.

No one seems to be worrying about
peas, although reports from the north-
west ordinarSy would be alarming.

Quantities of onion bulbs are moving
from the northwest and from Colorado to
the California seed-growing districts for
1916 crops. J

Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York, re-
ceived 190 cases of bulbs on the boat
from Marseilles that arrived at New York
October 15.

The lowest tenders on the govern-
ment's order for grass and clover seeds
for which bids were opened October 6
were Stokes' Seed Farm and F. W. Bol-
giano & Co.

W. E. Haile asserts that he is planting
the largest acreage of watermelon for
seed of any individual planter in the
Monticello district, and it is well known
that Jefferson county, Florida, grows
more watermelon seed for the trade
than any other one county in the United
States.

With the onion set situation what it
is, what will buyers who have bought
under the market do when they are
supplied with samples of the stock it is
proposed to deliver! Will they release
the seller, or will they merely reject the
sample and insist on the delivery of a
merchantable article f

The seed trade in Great Britain are
up in arms, the home guard, that is,
against a government proposal to abolish
the halfpenny post and to reduce the
letter post from four ounces a penny to
an ounce a penny. A meeting of the
trade authorized W. Cuthbertson, of Deb-
bie & Son, Edinburgh, and Arthur
Sutton, of Sutton & Sons, Beading, to
memorialize the authorities with the plea
that the plan will "not only place a new
burden on the horticultursJ trades, but
will go far to ruin their trade. The
proposed change would also give an al-
together unfair advantage to the for-
eign seedsmen, who will be able, unless
the postal union regulations are can-
celed, to flood the British market with
catalogues dispatched from abroad at ex-
isting rates."

HEBE'S A NEW ONE I

Sure, only it was the electric motor

THE BEST LILY
BULBS

for the commercial florist in
America are Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum, and the best size
to buy for general purposes is
7 to 9 inches. This gives you
a mature bulb of fair size at
a fair price. Large buyers use
them almost exclusively, as they
give the greatest yield for the
money of any other lily bulbs.
Just remember they are grown
from only the most healthy
bulblets to begin with; they
are hand-weeded and carefully
cultivated and fertiUzed, and
disbudded before flowering
time, in the fields, thereby re-
serving their strength so they
can better stand the strain of
greenhouse forcing. You can-
not get better bulbs anywhere.
They cost $15.00 a case of
300, size 7 to 9, and you can't
invest $15.00 in a better way
if you are in the florist busi-
ness. The more you have room
to grow the more money you
can make from lily bulbs. We
will put them in cold storage
for you, if you ask us to, for
shipment during 1916. The
cost of carrying them is 15c
per case per month. You can
have lilies at any time of the
year. Write us for further
information.

The Florists^ Review

OCTOBBB 21, 1915.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The Eeichardt & Schulte Co., of
Houston, Tex., states thait the biggest
loss during the recent storm was a 50-
foot sign, which was blown around an
electric pole by a wind force of 125
miles per hour, according to the gov-
ernment records. Another sign was
blown away and has not yet been
found. Seed business before and since
. the storm has been good. There is a
large call for insecticides, owing to the
increase of bugs and the loss of the
birds.

The Moers Seed Co., of Houston, was
among the fortunate ones and hit upon
a plan to furnish the farmer custom-
ers with seed at cost. This cleaned up
much left-over stock.

The Beaumont Seed Co., of Beau-
mont, Tex., has moved into larger quar-
ters at 608 Pearl street.

The Bollwinkle Seed Co., of New Or-
leans, La., had become well settled in
the new location at 510 Dumaine street,
but, unfortunately, was directly in the
path of the recent storm, which caused
the collapse of the upper floors of the
building. More recent rains have com-
pleted the ruin. Some shipments were
in the freight house, including 1,000
pounds of beet seed, a valuable cargo.
These were saved. Mr. Bollwinkle
philosophized: "Though badly bat-
tered, we still are in the ring."

Chris Eeuter, of New Orleans, said
that at one time his building, a solid
brick and stone structure almost two
centuries old, threatened to collapse. A
big bulge is conspicuous. Mr. Renter
has decided not to take his honeymoon
trip in an aeroplane. Thomas Ross, for
many years with Baker Bros., of Fort
Worth, is in charge of the extensive
seed department.

The J. Steckler Seed Co., of New Or-
leans, was not in the path of the storm,
but the warehouse and its contents
were damaged. It was fortunate that
more stock was not on hand, for there
is no seed insurance to be had.

M. P. Hargreaves, of Galveston, Tex.,
reports a total loss of seed stock car-
ried on the ground floor by the recent
flood. At one time all hands were
swimming in six feet of water, which
came up so suddenly that there was no
escape. Commenting on the warnings
given, Mr. Hargreaves says they have
received three since that time and
nothing has happened; so if they were
to try to avoid disaster by following
these warnings, they would always be
on the anxious seat. While the loss of
life was less, the destruction of prop-
erty was greater than that of 1900. At
one time the wind blew for twenty-one
hours at a velocity of sixty miles per
hour. There were many remarkable
effects. I saw two ocean freighters
lying fully half a mile from the chan-
nel, high and dry. This will convey
some idea of the force of the wind and
consequent destruction. The gardens
are cleaned out and an effort is being
made to replant as soon as possible.
The fine specimens of phcpnix and
washingtonia remain, while big oaks
a century old were blown away. The
craft are to be commended for their
grit. They will welcome any surplus
stocks of roses and chrysanthemums for
outdoor planting. They have asked for
no outside assistance, but it will be
none the less welcome. M.

The Florists' Review

OCTOBBB 21, 1015.

ditions the United States has received a
great part of its supply of winter rape
seed from the Netherlands, but that,
owing to the restrictions placed on the
export of this seed during the last year,
other sources of supply have been
sought. This has resulted in seed of
several types of plants being imported
under the name of rape from countries
not usually contributing to our supply.
Approximately 95,000 pounds of seed
of turnip rape, or enough to sow
19,000 acres, have been imported
since April 1, 1915. This so-called
turnip rape is not rape at all, but
a turnip without the thickened root
of the garden turnip, and is cultivated
for its oil-bearing seed. As the seed of
the turnip rape is being offered for
sale throughout the country at the pres-
ent time, under the name of winter
rape, or Dwarf Essex rape, those desir-
ing winter rape should be on their
guard.

CLOVER AND ALFALFA.

The government crop report makes
the condition of clover seed 66.9 per
cent, lower than the low figure of 68.3
reported October 1 last year, and much
below the estimate of 76.1 in 1913. The
condition is considerably poorer than
last year in the principal producing
states east of the Mississippi, being
particularly poor in Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and Michigan, but much better
than last year in Missouri, Kansas, Ken-
tucky and Tennessee. The principal
cause given for low production is that
the constant rains, while beneficial to
the growth of the plant, tended to wash
out the blooms and prevented proper
fertilization through the visits of bees
and other insects. The western crop
is generally reported as good, except
in Washington, where dry weather
was harmful.

The estimated yield per acre of al-
falfa seed is 3.4 bushels against 3.7
bushels last year and 4.2 bushels in
1913. The yield is reported as extreme-
ly low in Nebraska, and somewhat
lower than last year in the far western
states, except Colorado, Nevada and
Iowa. The reported total production of
alfalfa seed, 70.4 per cent, is also con-
siderably below last year's figure of
77.3 per cent, notwithstanding material
increases in the acreage of alfalfa, due
in part to the fact that considerable
alfalfa intended for seed was cut for
hay instead, in view of the heavy
growth of the plant and the poor yield
of seed. The estimated production is
much below the 1913 production of 89.4
per cent of a full crop. The same con-
ditions that lessened production of
clover seed were operative in the case
of alfalfa seed.

PELIOANO'S DAHLIA FIELD.

Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Bossi &
Co., San Francisco, recently entertained
a number "of his friends, several of
whom are members of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society, at his home and
gardens in the Ocean View district.
The accompanying illustration shows
Mr. Pelicano and friends and members
of his family in the dahlia field, which
was in full bloom. The party includes,
from left to right, Miss Eva Pelicano,
Waiter Hofinghoff, secretary of the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society;
Frank Pelicano, Wm. Kettlewell, origi-
nator of the famous Kettlewell dahlia;
Mr. Costa, Miss Azalea Pelicano, G. A.
Daly, with the MacEorie-McLaren Co.;
Master Pelicano, Mr. Proietti, Miss Mc-
Intyre, Mr. Mclntyre and Mr. Scallioni,
a local gardener. The Kettlewell
dahlia, a dark, velvety red, or Jacque-
minot color, according to Mr. Pelicano
can not be beaten as a paying dahlia
for cut flowers, being an enormous pro-
ducer. He has been cutting heavily
since June 15 and still had a big crop,
as shown in the picture. He has been
growing these dahlias for the last six
years, this year's crop being by far the
largest produced. He also reports a
continued heavy ctit of Delice, Kalif
and Qeisha, all excellent varieties for
the San Francisco section. H. S. G.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

A decided increase is noted in the
out-of-town shipping business, much
more than in transient or regular re-
tail trade, though the latter also is on
the upgrade. Practically everyone is
home from his vacation and all are
settling down with a will to the sea-
son's work.

The absence of early rains and the
cool, open weather of October have
been of great assistance to outdoor flow-
ers, especially dahlias and roses, which
were never better than this year.

Chrysanthemums might safely be said
to be far in advance of anything seen
in this city in previous years, and so
far there has been nothing approach-
ing a glut; Other items are about the
same as last reported.

Various Notes.

The iLos Angeles County Horticul-
tural Society held a most enjoyable
banquet and smoker October 9, about
sixty members and friends sitting down
to a fine meal and adjourning after-
ward for the smoker and a story-telling
contest. Many members of the Pasa-
dena Horticultural Society were pres-
ent. President Shields should have
been given the award for the best
stories, only there was no prize forth-
coming. Dr. Houghton, in his usual
happy vein, amused the audience high-
ly, but speeches were barred. Secre-
tary H. W. Kruckeberg, of the iLos
Angeles society, worked hard and long
to make the evening a successful one
and he surely did it. Almost everyone
at the table was called upon and al-

io Frank Pellcano's Dahlia Field at Ocean View, Near San Francisco.

most everybody responded, so the list
is too long to give. Treasurer James
McGilvray and C. Shearer, superin-
tendent of parks, were called upon to
uphold the honor of Scotland, which
they did. England and Ireland were
well represented and among our Ger-
man friends were J. Dieterich, Paul
Staiger and others. But as Vice-presi-
dent W. W. Felgate truly remarked, no
hyphenated Americans were there, all
being true Americans, no matter what
their native country. This is the right
feeling and it is pleasant to note that
the other has entirely died out in the
society. Adjournment was proposed
and carried at 11 p. m. and all said
they had never spent a more pleasant
time.

A. H. Post, of Chula Vista, near San

The L. A. Floral Co. is enjoying a
large shipping trade, especially on

large yellow chrysanthemums. The-
fact that many of these shipments go
to the northern part of Oregon and
Washington speaks volumes for the
careful methods of packing followed'
here.

Bernard Tassano has just returned
from a pleasure trip to the San Fran-
cisco fair and reports the best time he
has ever had. Tassano Bros, have been-
awarded the contract for the automo-
bile show decorations.

Much to the surprise of his many
friends, L. H. Freeman, of the Freeman-
Lewis Co., was married to a Hollywood'
lady recently. They have gone to
Honolulu for their honeymoon.

At J. W. Welters' store, excellent
business is reported.

Befitting and slight alterations to-
the store are in projgress at the head-
quarters of the Bedondo Floral Co., on

of the death of his wife, from career,
at San Diego, where they have "been
living for several years. Mrs. Slack
was a most energetic and pleasing help-
meet, to Mr. Slack and he will have
the sympathy of a host of friends. He
has had charge of the rose garden in
Balboa park, San Diego, for some time,
and in a letter to the writer he speaks
well of the kind treatment he has re-
ceived from John Morley and other
officials in his bereavement.

The annual chrysanthemum show was
opened in the new clubhouse of the
Santa Monica Woman's Club, at Santa
Monica, October 14. "While the num-
ber of exhibits in the amateur classes
folp chrysanthemums was not large, the
quality was distinctly good and some
of the prize-winning blooms would
have taken a high place in any compe-
tition. The trade exhibits were espe-
cially good. Walter Armacost had the
front of the stage decorated, showing
chrysanthemums in large vases, and a
beautifully arranged display of roses
in baskets. These consisted of popu-
lar varieties and novelties, fine baskets
of Hoosier Beauty, September Morn,
Prima Donna and others. The most
prominent exhibit was a large crescent-
shaped group from the Germain Seed
& Plant Co., of Los Angeles. The ex-
hibit was splendidly staged by the
firm's nursery foreman, John Eobert-
son. The prominent plants were clean,
healthy specimens of Araucaria Bid-
willii and fine kentias, bays and New
Zealand flax, boldly arranged. Smaller
kentias, ferns and foliage plants, inter-
spersed with flowering plants and
vases of the newer cannas, were used
to outline the group. Large vases of
chrysanthemums helped the general ef-
fect, which was extremely telling. A
table of dahlias was put up by the
same firm, consisting of many stand-
ard kinds and novelties, the new Belle
Pauli sent out last year being much ad-
mired. Mrs. W. F. Laurie, of Pasa-
dena, showed a large table of dahlias,
including a number of the newer col-
larette types, which merited and re-
ceived many encomiums from visitors.
The Golden State Nursery had a group
of foliage and berried plants and Miss
Sadie Thomas, of Pasadena, showed
several novelties in chrysanthemums.
At the time of writing it is too early
to say anything about the attendance,
but there was already a lively crowd
before the judging was finished.
W. W. Felgate, H. R. Richards and
John Robertson officiated as judges.

The Market.

There has been a good run of busi-
ness. Social events have taken large
quantities of flowers and the funerals
of several prominent people have used
all the surplus stock. Carnations still
are scarce. Remembering the oversup-
ply of carnations Idst year, carnation
growers have held back their crops.
Chrysanthemums are the most conspicu-
ous flowers in the window displays. The
first home-grown Chrysoloras and sev-
eral varieties of pompons have ap-
peared. The supply of home-grown
violets has increased and the quality
has improved. The first Lorraine be-
gonias are shown. Cyclamens are be-
•oming more plentiful.

• Walter A. Martin, of 435 Lombard

street, grower of dahlias, roses, peren-
nials, etc., died last week. He had been
sick for some time. Mrs. Martin is
conducting the business.

The Martin & Forbes Co. was award-
ed first prize for the best decorated
florists' window in the dress-up week
contest. The prominent features were
a large vase of Ophelia roses, a basket
of Oncidium tigrinum and a hamper of
violets. The background consisted of
greenery and autumn foliage, dressed
with satin ribbon of the same tint as
the roses. The charm of the window
was in the attractive arrangement of
the materials.

Clarke Bros, were given second place
in the window contest. Vases of Mrs.
Chas. Bussell roses, Hi Gill dahlias and
mums and other flowers were artistic-
ally arranged in massed groups.

Mrs. Burkhardt, widow of the late
Alfred C. F. Burkhardt, has leased her
retail store and greenhouse range to the
Swiss Floral Co. E. J. Nausa, who was
with Mr. Burkhardt for eight years,
has been placed in charge of the store.

The fire which destroyed the resi-
dence and church of Father Schooner,
at Brooks, Ore., October 9, also de-
stroyed the plants in the adjoining ex-
periment gardens. For several years
Father Schooner had devoted all of his
spare time and available means to th«
propagation of new roses and fruits.
He had a large number of varieties in
different stages of development, many
of the plants having been imported at
considerable expense, and their loss has
been a severe blow to him. His work
has attracted the attention of the Port-
land Chamber of Commerce and a move
is on foot to make provision for him
to continue his work.

The light yellow peony dahlias
shipped from ' Seattle to Clarke Bros,
appear to be good keepers, a quality
sadly lacking in many beautiful vari-
eties. It is called the Hi Gill, after
Seattle's popular mayor. S. W. W.

The Market.

While there has been considerable
funeral work and a few nice dinner
decorations, the trade shows less activ-
ity than for some time; the daily offer-
ings do not clean up quickly. In view
of the large supplies, however, the mar-
ket is in excellent shape. With favor-
able weather, small summer stock is
holding out remarkably well. Scabiosas
are not so good, but there are plenty of
marigolds, gypsophilas, statice, etc.
There is an abundance of amarantus
and last week there were heavy offer-
ings of cosmos, which were well taken.
Dahlias are as fine and nearly as plen-
tiful as ever, but are not helped by
being in competition with mums. There
still are a good many gladioli, rather
small, but otherwise good, and they
move fairly well. Asters are about gone,
but the Chinese, who bring most of
them to the market, are now offering
great quantities of outdoor chrysanthe-
mums, which are attractive and find a
good demand. With these chrysanthe-
mums and pompons, which are much
more plentiful and popular, and the
magnificent indoor mums in almost in-

Notwithstanding the lack of rain,
violets are good and plentiful, and
many of them are being shipped. The
plantings generally appear to be in
good shape and if prices hold up the
growers should do well. Carnations are
fair, but continue scarce and receive
little attention. Koses are gradually
improving and the trade is beginning
to discriminate more closely, though a
lot of ordinary stock is disposed of.
Some nice Beauties are arriving and
Cecile Brunner is better than for some
time. Irish Elegance is doing well in a
limited way and Ophelia is one of the
most popular varieties. Last week

biata and C. Mossise, while phalsenopsis
and other small varieties still are
scarce. Flowering plants are rather
scarce. No great number of cyclamens
are coming in. There are a few primu-
las and, most of the cockscomb has been
cleaned up. A few spiraeas are appear-
ing ht an opportune time. Greens are
moving well and a good deal of euca-
lyptus and pepper-tree foliage, the lat-
ter showing clusters of red berries, is

Landscape Engineers' Day.

October 9, Landscape Engineers' day
at the exposition was quite a memor-
able event to San Francisco people and
was participated in not only by land-
scape engineers, but also by gardeners,
nurserymen and florists. Perhaps the
most interesting feature of the occa-
sion was the honor bestowed on John
McLaren, who is largely responsible for
the fine showing made by the exposi-
tion and the city as a whole in the
matter of flowers and ornamental plant-
ings. The ceremonies were conducted
on a platform at the east entrance to
the Palace of Horticulture, which was
almost hidden by the abundance of
flowers brought by Mr. McLaren's
many friends. A large crowd gathered,
including many gardeners connected
with the exposition, etc., growers from*
nearby towns and about thirty mem-
bers of the Pacific Coast Horticultural
Society. To take part in the "event,
Mayor Bolph interrupted his vacation
and arrived in time to present the
beautiful silver cup to Mr. McLaren.
The cup is distinctly a tribute from
the people of the city, having been
purchased by 10-cent contributions by
a great number of people. In addition
to the cup, Mr. McLaren was presented
with wreaths and baskets of flowers by
Margaret O'Connor, on behalf of the
school children; and Donald McLaren,
his son and associate, was presented
with a handsome bronze plaque by the
exposition. The speech of presentation
was delivered by James McNab, of the
exposition directorate. In the evening
Mr. and Mrs. McLaren gave a reception
to a number of their friends, at the
Golden Gate Park lodge, and during
the evening they were presented with
a handsome silver vase by the Bohe-
mian Club.

position, Discovery day, October 12.
The many San Franciscans of Italian
birth or descent celebrate this day
with particular enthusiasm and the lo-
cation of the festivities at the exposi-
tion contributed to make it a great suc-
cess.

Frank Schlotzhauer, of the Francis
Floral Co., recently decorated the
United States battleship South Dakota,
for a farewell reception to Admiral
Pond. Fully 1,000 of the largest yel-
low chrysanthemums were used, deco-
rating the ofiScers' quarters and almost
the entire ship.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is getting
well into its violet shipping season, and
last week had some fine violets, which
were shipped as far east as Chicago.
This company is shipping many greens
to the east.

Mark Ebel and Mrs. Ebel, of Sacra-
mento, recently were in San Francisco,
taking in the exposition sights.

The exposition management has an-
nounced that from now until the close
of the fair, bids for plants now used
in the grounds will be received. Bids
may be for any quantity of plants, from
single specimens up.

Notice of the death of David Tisch,
formerly nursery manager for the H. M.
Sanborn Co., of Oakland, is given in
this week's obituary column.

An amendment to its charter has been

Dallas and McKinney, Tex., increasing
its capital stock from $20,000 to $30,000.

FoETY-SEVEN acres of land recently
were acquired by Saddler Bros., of
Bloomington, HI., at the cost of $170
per acre. The land will be devoted to
nursery stock.

The last few weeks have brought a
nice rfivival of business to many of the

ing much better than was thought pos-
sible befbre digging was begun.

LATE-FLOWEBINO SHSUBS.

Tbe Best of the Buddleias.

While we have a wealth of deciduous
shrubs that flower in early summer,
there is a pronounced scarcity of them
after the end of July. In early fall,
while those in flower are less numer-
ous than we might wish, we have some
handsome and useful varieties. These,
added to the many berry-bearing trees
and ■ shrubs, such as viburnums, Cra-
taegus, loniceras, ligustrums and others,
make the shrubbery borders attractive.

Prominent among flowering shrubs
are the buddleias, which have been
making a splendid show for many weeks
and will continue to do so until sharp
frost destroys the flowers. B. variabilis
is less showy than some of its improved
forms, of which there are now a consid-
erable number. Of these magniflca is,
in my opinion, the best. It flowers pro-
fusely and the racemes are of a deeper
violet-mauve color than superba, Wil-
Bonii and Veitchiana. Superba makes
heavier foliage, with racemes of great
size and less pointed at* the ends than
taose of magniflca.

All these buddleias are of easy propa-
gation. Cuttings will root in a few
days in sand in a warm greenhouse, and
plants from 3-inch or 4-inch pots, set
out in April or early May in rich soil,
will make plants five to six feet high
and as much across, the first season.

Bnddlelas in Pots or Tubs.

B. officinalis, carrying smaller and
paler colored racemes than B. varia-
bilis, comes into bloom too late to be
valuable in the northern states, but
makes a good pot plant. The latest of
the family to flower, B. Asiatica, pure
white in color, sometimes called the
winter lilac, is a splendid greenhouse
subject for pots or tubs from Christmas
until the middle of February.

Buddleias will withstand a winter
minimum of 10 degrees below zero in

well drained ground, if g^ven a wiiyter
mulch. They usually die down to near
the ground. If they do not, it is better
to cut them to the ground, as they
then make more vigorous growth. Plants
that are wintered over will flower ear-
lier than spring-planted ones, but the
latter will bloom later in the season.

There are several other fall-flowering
buddleias, but the foregoing are the
best. They should prove flne subjects
for florists to work up stocks of, for
spring sales. Cuttings are produced in
profusion and, as before said, their
propagation is of the easiest. Whether
for planting in beds, for shrubbery ef-
fects, for cutting (the flowers keeping
well in water), or for growing in tubs
for fall flowering, buddleias are among;
our finest flowering shrubs. A great
point in their favor is their freedom
from insects and their delicious fra-
grance.

Some of the detbras, or spice bushes,

Will you please tell me what to do
for my Eucharis Amazonica to get them
to bloom well at their proper season!
The plants *are healthy, strong and pot-
bound in 8-inch pots, but they will not
bloom. Do they need a rest to ripen
the bulbs, as do amaryllises, and is a
temperature of 50 to 55 degrees suf-
ficient for themf Do they need much
feeding? Is November their flowering
timet C. V. F. N.— Can.

The eucharis must have a rest for a
few weeks, or else you will never flower
it satisfactorily. Gradually withhold
water, but not to such an extent as to
cause a loss of foliage. It is better
to move the plants into a cooler house
while they are resting; 50 to 55 de-
grees at night is about right. Then
place in as warm a house as you have,
60 to 70 degrees at night. Water well,
and feed with liquid manure. The
spikes should soon appear, if you have
good-sized bulbs. If you can provide
some bottom heat, the plants will do
better. A crop can be had in Novem-
ber by timing the resting period right.
Eucharis will give two and often three
crops of spikes a year, provided they

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business conditions have shown con-
tinued improvement. The weather has
been cool. Inside stock generally is
short, with the result that prices have
advanced. Everything in the way of
cut flowers was cleaned up at the end
of last week.

Mums are arriving in larger quanti-
ties and are selling well, especially
white. Chrysolora and Oconto are be-
ginning to come in. Carnations are im-
proving rapidly, although none too
plentiful. The call for roses takes all
that are offered, with white scarce and
in good demand. Radiance and Mrs.
Russell are also much called for.

The cool weather has been ideal for
dahlias and those growers who escaped
the frosts of October 9 and 10 are cut-
ting fine blooms. Many patches were
hit only on the foliage, the flowers not
being open.

Greens are overplentiful, with no
prospect of change until outdoor flowers
have been killed.

Vaxious Notes.

William J. Halliday is showing some
fine specimen plants of Cattleya labiata
and Oncidium varicosum, in bloom, in
his store window. One pf the varieties
of nepenthes, in bloom, attracts atten-
tion on account of its unusual shape
and color.

J. W. Penn is cutting some good
Chrysolora mums.

Joseph S. Merritt has purchased a
new touring car.

Akehurst & Sons, of "White Marsh,
Md., are cutting carnations. Their En-
chantress and White Enchantress are
specially good.

Lehr Bros, are sending some choice
Ophelia to the Leo Niessen Co.

Visitors last week included J. J.
Goudy, from Henry A. Dreer, Inc.; S. S.
Skidelsky and a representative of the
Robert Craig Co., all of Philadelphia.

A. S. Richmond has finished work on
his new propagating house. A bench of
Oconto is nearly ready for cutting.
His other mums and carnations are also
in good shape.

The sympathy of the trade is ex-
tended to J. J. Perry in the death of
his mother, October 13, at the home of
her daughter, in Washington, D. C,
Both of Mr. Perry's parents have died
during the year.

Matthew Richmond has the frame of
his two new houses up and is filling the
beds preparatory to spring planting.
His pompon mums look good for a
heavy cutting.

Erdman & Ulrich held their first an-
nual dahlia show from October 12 to 17.
A better attendance than was expected
caused them to prolong the exhibition
two days. The cut flowers were ar-
ranged in the service shed, being dis-
played against a background of ferns
and oak foliage, which covered walls
and ceiling. The greenhouses were at-
tractive and the fern house and cycla-
mens were worthy of special mention.

The Market.

The florists were quite busy last
week, several early weddings, with a
number of -ante-nuptial functions, cre-
ating a brisk demand, which was well
met by the increased supply of early

moving quickly. Carnations are a trifle
more plentiful and bring 2 and 3 cents.
Roses are quoted at 3 cents up; violets
are 50 cents per hundred and mums
range from 75 cents to $2 per dozen.

The Florists' Review

OCTOBEB 21, 1913.

DETROIT.

The Maxket.

Business picked up nicely the first
part of this month. While the activity
ia spasipodic, things on the whole look
promising. The trouble at present is
the scarcity of stock. Boses are in fairly
good supply and of excellent quality,
but they are alone and the public tires
even of roses. Mums are two weeks
later than usual and carnations still are
scarce. When stock arrives at the com-
mission houses, there is a wild scramble
and the flowers rarely reach the water
at the wholesalers*. Some pink snap-
dragons are coming in, but they are
extremeljr small.

A killing frost visited Detroit Octo-
ber 9 and put an end to every outdoor
flower. Last year the flrst heavy frost
occurred two weeks later than this year.

Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Detroit Florists'
Club October 12 was well attended and
much enjoyed by all present. After
the supper, which was well received,
various topics came up for discussion.

A letter was read urging local flo-
rists to encourage a bill to stop the
dumping of bulbs, seeds, etc., on this
market. Secretary Forster was in-
structed to write to Secretary Eedfield
and to our members in Congress to have
our wares included in such a bill.

Various Notes.

Albert Pochelon is displaying bulle-
tins on his delivery cars advising the
public what flowers and plants are in
season. It is Mr. Pochelon 's intention
to change these bulletins frequently,
in order that they may not become tire-
some to the readers.

The first debutante of the season held
her reception October 11, and it was
estimated that the total cost of the
bouquets, baskets and other novelties
sold by the florists for the occasion
would total $2,500. This season prom-
ises to be a lively one socially.

Several members of the trade recent-
ly visited Albert Stahelin's range at
Bedford. Mr. Stahelin is cutting some
excellent rose blooms, which are always
on call. His snapdragons, carnations
and mums are looking fine.

Thomas Browne has approximately
75,000 mums planted, but he is cutting
only a few. The plants, however, are
in splendid shape and when they start
to bloom his daily cut will -be large.
Mr. Browne has some fine stevias com-
ing along.

Frank Danzer recently had occasion
to visit Adrian, Mich., and while there
spent some time at the Elmer Smith
place. He found the stock in fine con-
dition. Mr. Smith has been experi-
menting with artificial fertilizers, the
results of which proved interesting to
Mr. Danzer. It was noted that all the
plants treated with the artificial ma-
nure were good.

George Pedrick, of Windsor, Ont., a
member of the local club, has been sick
for some time and still is ailing.

Robert Eahaley urges all members
of the club to visit the Cleveland flower
show, saying they will be well repaid
for the time and money spent.

E. A. Fetters has purchased a new
Overland delivery car, this being his
second Overland car for delivery pur-
poses. B. Schroeter, the Bemb Floral

[Concluded on paffe 80.]

• Our Hydrangeas are all grown in the open ground during the summer, where they make a very luxurious

growth, producing heayy heads. They are potted up in August and are thoroughly rootbound in

i October. They are extra heavy this season and v»ill not only produce flowers from the shoots but also

from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

GERANIUMS

' It is the consensus of opinion that the supply of Gera-
niums is going to be somewhat short this coming season, on
account of so many growers being short of stock plants.
Our stock was never in better condition than it is now, so
that we anticipate no difficulty whatever in filling orders;
but at the same time we would suggest that the surest way
is to let us book your order at an early date. New cata-
logue and price list for 1916 is ready for distribution; a
request will bring it if accompanied by a business card.

We have a splendid lot of Geraniums in 3-inch pots, ready for
shipment, just right for the southern trade or winter blooming,
$3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

Coleus, Moonvines, Heliotropes, Lemon Verbenas, Parlor

Tlie Florists' Review

(JCTOBBB 21, 1018.

Co., W. B. Brown, Michael Bloy and
J. F. Sullivan are some of the retailers
using Overlands for delivery.

Albert Sylvester, of the Michigan
Cut Flower Exchange, was seriously in-
jured in an accident in which his auto
collided with a street car. This hap-
pened nearly three weeks ago and Mr.
Sylvester still is laid up.

Robert Plumb, son of Charles H.
Plumb, who was married October 1, ex-
pects to move into the beautiful home
he has built back of the greenhouses on
Crane avenue. H. S.

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Business last week was quiet and was
confined mostly to funeral work. Chrys-
anthemums are becoming more abun-
dant. Some fine Chrysolora and Octo-
ber Frost are seen. The demand, how-
ever, seems to be chiefly for the me-
dium grades. Eoses and carnations are
getting more plentiful and the latter
are meeting with a good demand.

Most of the growers have received
their Dutch bulbs and are busy plant-
ing them. A good many complaints are
heard that the Bomans and narcissi are
arriving in poor condition. The arrival
of the azaleas is still a question. The
city park forces are getting the beds
ready for the planting of tulips, hya-
cinths, etc., which will be more largely
planted than in former years.

Various Notes.

The new city greenhouses are com-
pleted and are being operated by P.
Agnew, formerly gardener for the N. C.
railroad. The city will now grow its
own bedding plants, the orders for
which were formerly distributed among
the local florists.

The Heiss. Co. recently installed a
new 150-horsepower boiler. The flrm
reports business fair.

The Dayton Florists' and Gardeners'
Association has adopted a plan where-
by each one notifies the club of what
aurplus stock he has to offer and the
announcements of the surpluses are
posted in the downtown florists' stores.

W. W. Horlacher says his business
has shown a decided improvement in
the last two weeks. Q. W. B.

The Market.

Business last week was better than
it has been for some time. There were
a large number of funerals and some
weddings. Mums are coming in faster
and the quality is good. Outdoor stock
is still good, especially cosmos and
dahlias. Killing frosts are late this
year. There have been several light
frosts, but not much damage resulted
except to the especially tender plants.
J^^ot much firing is needed. Eoses and
carnations were scarce last week, but
good crops are in sight.

Various Notes.

William Halbrooks is cutting some
excellent carnations. The flowers are
of good size and substance; the stems
are strong and of good length for the
season.

J. C. Elspermann was busy with fu-
neral work last week and used a lot
of flowers. His carnations are looking
well. His mums are good. His houses
are fully stocked with plants of all
kinds and a large number are still
out in frames.

Louis Fritsch reports a good business.
He is advertising in one of the local
dailies.

Karl Zeidler had so much business
last week that he could not get enough
flowers.

Julias Niednagel & Sons are cutting
lots of roses. The carnations are im-
proving. The cut of mums is on the
increase each day. Business is excel-
lent.

The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is
cutting some fine mums, roses and car-
nations. Business is good.

Louis Kleitz, Jr., is having good sales
of lettuce plants through his ad in The
Eeview. He is stocking up with a few
varieties of plants for spring sales, in-
cluding geraniums and Sprengeri.

Miss Nellie Goodge is busy getting
her large stock of plants in shape for
the winter.

Boyston & Fen ton are cutting mums,
the first they have grown. The old
Ivories, run through the summer with-
out any rest, are giving a fine account
of themselves. Business is good and
increasing. E. L. F.

THE COAL MABKET.

Becent "reports from the coal men
have been increasingly cheerful, and
the cheerfulness is now based, they
say, not on future prospects or any
other vague uncertainties, but on ac-
tual, present conditions. They assert
positively that prices are stronger and
the volume of business larger. A
writer in the Black Diamond remarks
naively that "heretofore the reports
have been hopeful enough, but they
have not been quite convincing. This
week they are all quite genuine." The
heaviest demand is for screenings and
steam sizes, but the acceleration is
gradually spreading through all grades
of fuel. The increase in the sales, of
course, is believed to be due princi-
pally to the improvement in general
business. Industrial activity is no
longer limited mostly to the munition
factories, but is becoming evident in
nearly all departments of trade.

It is stated, too, that the much dis-
cussed car shortage, predicted for the
last two months but scarcely believed
possible, has now assumed a real ex-
istence and is interfering particularly
"with the movement of the florists' fuel,
smokeless coal. Indeed, the journal al-
ready quoted says that "in smokeless
coal the car situation is the principal
factor. Keports from "West Virginia
are that the leading railroads there are
able to supply only fifty per cent of
the cars demanded. This is making a
definite shortage of coal in the east,
but especially in the west. If the de-
mand should by reason of a change in
the weather become normal for this
time of year, the coal would quickly
go to premium prices. ' ' At present, how-
ever, there is not much divergence
from the previously quoted prices at
the mines, $1.40 for mine-run and $2.25
for lump and egg.

WASTEFUL OF HEAT.

I shall be thankful if your expert on
heating will answer the following
queries: We have erected, from rem-
nants, a greenhouse 20x110, as shown
on the enclosed sketch. The house
runs east and west. The north wall is
brick and is three and one-half feet
high. The south side is three feet high
to the eave, with continuous sashes be-
tween the uprights. The east gable is
glass to within a foot of the ground;
the west gable is protected by a shed.
West from the greenhouse, a distance
of 188 feet from the east gable, is a

tiom tiiS ■ main will be nearly one-half
as much as will be required to heat the
greenhouse, unless the main is insulated
with extreme care. While a 4-inch main
tnight answer if the boiler shed ad-
joined the greenhouse, it will be neces-
sary to use a 5-inch main or attach a
mercury generator if it is located at a
distance of 188 feet. It should be pos-
sible to heat the house with a boiler
having a rating for 1,000 square feet
of radiation, but it will be necessary
to have a boiler rated for 1,500 feet if
it is 188 feet from the greenhouse,
especially if the pipe is carried on
blocks above ground.

It is stated that the basement is
about six feet lower than the ground
line of the greenhouse, but, without
knowing the height of the boiler and
the slope of the ground between the
boiler and the greenhouse, I cannot tell
just how to attach and carry the mains.
It will probably be necessary to carry
the flow above ground, with a slight
rise. The return, which should be of
tne same size as the flow, may be along-
side it.' The return may, however, be
carried below the surface. In either
case the pipes should be covered with
asbestos insulation, and enclosed in a
•concrete or wooden box. If they are
above ground, the space about them
«liould be filled with some insulating
material, such as mineral wool.

For the returns inside the green-
bouse, six 2-inch and six l^^-ii^ch pipes
may be used. If only one house is to
be heated it will not be necessary to
have valves on the mains, but if the
returns are arranged in three coils there
should be a valve upon one of them, at
least. Air valves should be provided
at the highest part of each coil and
wherever necessary to free the mains
from air. In case it is possible to use
overhead flow pipes as mains, three 214-
inch pipes may be put in, placing one
upon each plate and the other under
the ridge. Three or four of the returns
may then be omitted.

The Eorists' Review

OCTOBBK 21, 1915.

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business last week was unusually
good, the receipts showing a decided
improvement over any previous week
this fall. This improvement was due,
no doubt, to the heavy frosts and ideal
fall weather, together with a big de-
mand for flowers for numerous October
weddings, church and social affairs, and
funeral work.

Excellent growing weather, with
plenty of sunshine, has been the rule.
Greenhouse stock of all varieties is in
prime condition.

Chrysanthemums are the leaders in
cut flowers at present. The varieties
on the market are increasing daily,
while the demand is equal in every in-
stance to the supply. Chrysolora, Pink
October Frost, Golden Glow and Unaka
are the best varieties on the market.
Only a few dahlias are left and these
have poor lasting qualities. Asters are
numbered. Carnations are becoming
more plentiful and sell well in place of
the asters. Eoses are plentiful, the bet-
ter grades bringing good returns.
Hoosier Beauty is a good seller. Amer-
ican Beauties are plentiful in the
smaller grades. Gladioli and cosmos
are gone. Valley is having a good call
f )r autumn weddings, both in the city
and out of town. Orchids are in good
demand. Bronze oak foliage sells well.

Various Notes.

Miss Marguerite Flick is visiting a
college friend at Logansport, Ky. Busi-
ness is brisk at the store oif the Flick
Floral Co. The stock in the greenhouses
in South Fort Wayne shows up well. A
new delivery car has been put in service
lately. B. F.

WESTERLY, R. I.

All of the greenhouse men in this
vicinity have completed the overhaul-
ing and repairing of their houses, ready
for the winter season.

Louis J. Renter, of S. J. Eeuter &
Son, went to Boston and New York last
week.

George L. Stillman has spent a busy
season, his dahlias moving well. He
has booked numerous orders for spring
delivery.

John Young, of New York, was a re-
cent visitor at the greenhouses of S. J.
Eeuter & Son.

S. J. Eeuter, of S. J. Eeuter & Son,
recently celebrated his sixty - fourth
birthday. His health has been much
improved in recent months.

OmOINNATI.

The Market.

Business is good. The supply of
stock is such as to take care of present
needs and at the same time to keep the
market in a firm condition. Prices are
fair for both the grower and the buyer.
Shipping is heavy.

Boses are in good, supply and are
meeting with an active demand. The
same is true of carnations. Easter
lilies are plentiful and have been find-
ing a good market. Receipts of rubrum
lilies are not so large as heretofore.
Offerings in chrysanthemums are large
and include many excellent blooms of
white, yellow and pink varieties. iLilies
of the valley clean up readily. The
cut of orchids is sufficient for present
meeds. Both cosmos and dahlias are
still in the market.

Various Notes.

E. G. Gillett attended the Ohio state
conclave of the Knights Templar at
Toledo last week. He also visited De-
troit and other northern points on busi-
ness. Mr. Gillett was impressed with
the window decorations for the con-
clave and with the general good qual-
ity of the flowers.

Louis H. Kyrk left October 18 on a
two weeks' business tour.

B. C. Bertsch, of Qreensburg, Ind.,
has been sending some excellent yellow
mums to the St. ILouis market.

Esh Bros, have opened a retail flower
store at 1227 Vine street. It is the
tenth retail store on "Vine street^

Becent visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
C. Edward Buch, Richmond, Ind.; J. N.
Crismore, Chicago; John T. Nicks,
Cleveland, and James P. Keller, Lex-
ington, Ky. C. H. H.

BENTON HARBOR, MICH.

The recent Benton Harbor Fruit Fes-
tival, held October 6 to 9, brought con-
siderable business to the florists.

The Central Seed & Bulb Co. ex-
hibited forty-four varieties of dahlias,
thirteen of which were Thompson's
new seedlings. They showed eight va-
rieties of gladioli and a good display
of ferns, palms and cut flowers.

Thomas Heaven made a fine display
of ferns. The stock in his greenhouses
is looking well, especially his adiantum.

Bobert A. Smythe has his large house
newly planted to carnations and will
be in the market soon with some fine
stock.

Bobert A. Smythe was the main
spoke in the wheel in getting up the
premium list. He made a good job
of it.

The Market.

It certainly is encouraging to be able
to note a great improvement in trade.
An advance in prices has taken place
on nearly all the items. Stock cleans
up Well. The quality has improved
more than the quantity has increased.
Boses are becoming better and more
plentiful. Eussell, Ophelia, Killarney
and Sunburst are mostly in demand.

Carnation receipts are not much
heavier and the wholesalers experience
no diflSculty in moving the carnations
at a good price. Gladioli have dimin-
ished to such an extent that they are
no longer called for. Asters are yet
to be seen, but they are of poor quality.
Dahlias are still in great demand.
Easter lilies meet with a good market,
but there is an unusually short supply
of them. Chrysanthemums are now the
feature of the market, although the
situation remains uncertain. There are
a few of the early ones left and the
second lot is not yet ready for ship-
ment. Valley and orchids are in suf-
ficient supply to meet the demand.
Violets of a fair quality have made
their appearance. Greens of all kinds
move in a satisfactory manner.

Various Notes.

A. J. Reichert, formerly at Jefferson
street, has moved to Main and Leroy

J. E. and A. G. Hutchinson, 227
Broad street, report that business is
getting better, though collections are
still slow. As soon as the frosts have
killed all the outdoor flowers it is ex-
pected that there will be a noticeable in-
crease in business.

James White, whose father has grown
flowers for many years in this city, and
whose grandfather was also engaged in
the same business, has opened a store
at Westfield avenue and Broad street.

John Blakeley, 80 Broad street, still
gets a large amount of funeral work.

IS ALWAYS STRIVING to improve the
things that come under his hand. This
is called Progress, and has made the world
what it is today. There are some things that
cannot be improved, and after all is said and
done Nature's way is found to be the best. Nature's fer-
tilizer, animal manure, has been proven the sure, safe and
economical means of producing results wanted in the green-
house. Like the diamond, it can't be imitated or im-
proved. Nature holds the secret of the diamond, and just
as surely does she hold the secret of what is in manure that
makes it do for the soil and plant what man-made fertilizers
and chemicals cannot do. Most successful growers know
this to be a fact and use high-grade animal manures.
Many of them have learned that

The Florists^ Review

OCTOBBB 21, 1916.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

The weather last week was extreme-
ly cloudy and flowers consequently
were scarce. Carnations have sold as
high as $5 per hundred. Mums were
scarce the first part of last week, but
with sunshine they became plentiful.
Boses have been of poor quality and
scarce. Funeral work has been heavy
and has kept flowers well cleaned up.

Various Notes.

Joseph V. Pierce, 49 Cottage street,
has taken a business partner, Edward
Pierce. The new concern is known as
Joseph V. Pierce & Co. Many improve-
ments are being made at the office and
the greenhouses.

A new 6-ton boiler is being installed
at the range of Bichard Noflftz.

Julius the Florist reports business as
being good. The call for bulbs has
been exceptionally brisk.

Some 01 the best early mums in the
city are the Polly Bose, at the green-
houses of S. E. Shaw.

Post & Gray have some fine early
mums in all the popular varieties, such

The department of floriculture at
the Massachusetts Agp-icultural College
is making plans for its annual fall
flower show, to be held November 8 and
9. The entire flrst floor of the building,
about 5,200 square feet, will be used.
There will be exhibits of interest to
the florist and gardener as well as to
the general public. For the students
in floriculture, there will be competi-
tions in floral arrangement. The com-
petition in table decorations will be
limited to the junior class, with four-
teen entries. The seniors will have a
competition in basket arrangement,
with ten entries. In addition to these
competitions, there will be vase, plant
basket and box arrangements, bouquets
and corsages. There will be exhibits
of pottery, baskets and various other
t}rpes of containers, to|^ether with other
accessories of the florist.

The Northampton and Holyoke Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club is to co-
operate with the M. A. C. Florists' and
Gardeners' Club for a joint meeting
one evening of the show, at which time
some outside speaker will talk upon
floral arrangements and exhibits.

NOT ASSEMBLERS
BUT MANUFACTURERS

THERE are a lot of greenhouse,
as well as automobile build-
ers, who are assemblers.
They do not make their parts; they
buy them here, there and every-
where; and put them together.

We are not assemblers; we are
manuf actarers .

With but a few minor exceptions,
we make ererytbing we sell. Con-
sequently, it is made particularly
for the particular purpose for which
it is to be used.

Take for example our boilers; we
don't buy them, we make them.
We make them so they will be,
pade the way a greenhouse boiler
should be made. They are not the
regular house heating boilers bought

It's the same even with a some-
what minor thing like our Tell Tale
Ventilating Apparatus.

We don't buy it of some recording
machine company. It is made
right in our own factory. A glance
at the pointer will tell exactly how
wide the ridge sash is opened.

And so we could go right through
our house, and show you how prac-
tically everything in the construc-
tion and equipping of our houses is
made by us, for our house.

That's one of the big reasons why
you can depend on depending on

we go anywhere for business, or to
talk business.

Chief among the flower days in southern states is All Saints', or
All Souls', sometimes drawing large quantities of stock from northern
markets. So widely known is the observance at New Orleans, the trade
will find much of interest in an American florist's account of the event
in Manila, the Philippines.

HEN October comes, with
T^Xy its frosty nights, wholesale
\^/ / florists at Chicago turn ex-
/sWcft pectantly toward New Or-
™ * ^ leans, since the observance
of All Saints' day and the
needs of the southern city
are likely to determine
the pulse of the cut flower
trade in "The Great Cen-
tral Market" and other cities shipping
flouthward. Besides its religious sig-
nificance in the Catholic church. All
Saints' day, like Memorial day in the
north, is of large importance to florists
among the holidays in the Louisiana
city and the immediate neighborhood.
Time was when Chicago shipped flow-
ers by the actual carload for |he All
Saints' day observance in tl^ south,
but in recent years the southegRti cities
have developed a considerable home
supply, largely of chrysanthemums
grown outdoors, perhaps with lath or
cloth protection. The success of these
crops depends, of course, more or less
on the weather: When
they are good the
northern markets . do
not feel the old-time
demand, but when
weather conditions are
unfavorable itnd the
local mums are de-
stroyed or are not
ready on time, then
the northern wholesal-
ers may be hard put to
it to fill their orders,
especially as each year
sees an increase in the
quantity of stock re-

2nired for this quaint,
•Id World custom.

A Southern Ctistom.

. At no other place in
the United States are
^ghts to be seen like
ihose of New Orleans
at All Saints' day.
Nowhere except in the
south is the day ob-
served and nowhere
except in New Orleans
Ve there such quaint,
61d, great cities of the

' The Old World ob-
servance of AH Saints'
day places the great
public celebration, not
November 1, but on
All Souls* day, imme-
diately following,

which is the occasion it is intended to
commemorate. The first day of the
month is, as its name indicates, a time
of prayer in honor of the saints and
martyrs, while All Souls' day is kept
in commemoration of all faithful souls.
The New World has fixed November 1,
instead, as the principal time for pay-
ing homage to the souls of all the
dead, making it a two days' affair.
This year, with November 1 falling on
Monday, there will be many flowers
taken to the cemeteries Sunday.

In Uncle Sam's Islands.

' But since Uncle Sam assumed ^the
guardianship of the Philippines we
have another metropolis in which the
observance of All Saints' day takes an
important place on the church calen-
dar, if not on that of the florists.
" Eegretf uUy, " writes a florist long
familiar with the observance in the
southern states, "there is no means by
which the trade at home can profit by
the observance here — and it lasts a

All Saints'' Day in Paco Cemetery, Manila, P. L

A7eek! Everybody takes part, tool'
"Florists who know the customs in
our own south," writes this American
florist now resident at Manila, "would
watch with interest the observance
here, but it would be a ^ief tp them
to see that so many artificial flowers
are used for the decorations, natural
flowers being scarce. The celebration
is not confined to one or two days, but
lasts a week, which of course multi-
plies the demand for decorative mate-
rial. Too bad that the Philippine
Islands are so far away from the
States 1 Perhaps some day there will
be a fast airship-express service to
Manila, which will bring this market
within reach of American growers."

The illustrations give an idea of how
flowers are combined with electric
lights in the decorations. Paco ceme-
tery resembles those in New Orleans.
The graves are above ground and ave-
nues of large, stone sepulchers, facing
upon parked spaces, take the place of
tombstones and monuments. "One
week before All
Saints' day, a large
electric cross is placed
at the entrance of
each cemetery. The
grounds are illuminat-
ed along the main
walks and remind one
of a fairgrounds or a
carnival. The illumi-
nation inside the ceme-
teries takes place Oc-
tober 30 and 31, which
are the big days. The
graves and plots also
are decorated with
flowers and electric
lights, and the lights
are kept burning on
those two nights. The
poor people who can-
not afford electric
lights burn candles. * '

Making a Week of It.

Another unusual fea-
ture of the occasion,
to be seen at La Loma
cemetery, is the sight
of many families
camped in and about
the cemetery grounds,
living in tents. They
spend the week at the
cemetery in worship
and prayer.

Del Norte Cemetery, Manila, ai it Appears All Saints' Day.

Catholic churches in the Philippines,
excepting the ' American church,'
there are no seats. On the floor of
this chapel are tablets, or slabs, of
the well-to-do families of those who
have departed. The tablets are ce-
mented flat on the floor. These, too,
are decorated with flowers and lights.
Candles are burned on the last night
in addition to the electric lights.

"The scenes are alike in all the
cemeteries on All Saints' day. One of
the prettier cemeteries is Del Norte,
which is new. Most of the grounds
is in park and one of its distinctive
features is the nursery. In front of
a vault in this cemetery, which is
shown in the illustration, the mourners
burn incense for two days and nights.

If One Swallow Made a Summer.

"If one big holiday a year could
make a florist prosperous, Manila would
be the place to go. Everybody, al-
most without exception, takes part in
the festival and buys flowers — too
often artificial flowers. The natives
and Spaniards turn out by thousands
on the two principal days, and the
routes of travel toward the cemeteries
are thickly congested. The Filipinos
seem to keep more of the Old World
spirit and traditions in their celebra-
tion of All Saints' and All Souls' days
than do the people in the United
States, and the wise florist knows it is
a good thing when this spirit is kept
alive. Besides, a little religion does
no harm."

of work already has beeij done at Mel-

administration. Work now in progress
includes a garden theater and the addi-
tion of numerous houses for fruits and

CABE OF DAHLIA BOOT&

Dahlias should be harvested shortly
after their foliage has 'been killed by
frost. I find from experience that as
soon as the frost kills the foliage the
strength of the stalk recedes back into
the bulbs, and that if they are not har-
vested shortly, each bulb sends forth a
sprout which becomes a shoot, and, if
left long enough, a stalk, and as there
is danger of frost any time after the
first severe frost, no matter how long
left, they can never grow long enough
to reach maturity and bloom before
being killed.

This sprout or shoot is new, brittle
growth, not hard and woody like the
stalk; and when the clumps are dry, if
the sprout is two or three inches long,
it is generally allowed to remain, if a
foot or so long is cut off, the same as the
stalk. In either case this new and brit-
tle growth lacks substance, and as it
has not sufficient substance to carry it
through the winter, the sprout com-
mences to. decay during the winter
months, oftentimes causing the whole
clump to decay; and however the case,
the plant life and vitality required to
grow this is wasted, because it is taken
from the clump. This same life and
vitality should have been used in the
spring, when it would be ten times as
valuable.

By digging two or three days after
your plant has been killed by frost, your
clumps are in a perfectly dormant con-
dition, having no sprouts, and will keep
perfectly all winter, sending forth
sprouts in the spring, which is the
proper time.

Dahlias may be dug with fork, spade
or plow. In digging or harvesting the
clump, great care should be taken; dig
them, and dig very carefully — do not
pull them up. You have a large cluster
of bulbs or clump; each bulb has a neck^
which is the small portion between the
bulb and where it joins the stalk.
The clump should be dug or lifted
carefully, so as not to break the necks
of the bulbs. If you crack, girdle or
break a neck, sometimes they will dry
up, or at other times decay. However^
when the clump is divided, the bulb

All Saints' Day at La Loma Cemetery, Manila» Philippine Islands, as it Appeared to an American Florist.

with a broken neck is weak and not as
good, and requires longer to become
established and to commence to grow
after being planted in the ground.

After removing the clump, shake gen-
tly to remove the soil that would
naturally fall off. Cut off top within
two or three inches above top of clumps,
allowing them to be exposed to the sun
and air for only an hour or two. Do
not allow them to stay out two or three
days to dry up, then wonder why they
are withered and fail to sprout.

Pack in a cool, frost-proof place,
where extremes in temperature may be
avoided, a place having an average tem-
perature of about 45 degrees. Do not
cover, or' pack in any material or with
any substance; cork, sawdust, shavings,
coal ashes, sand or earth, all hold and
retain a dampness or moisture, some-
thing unnatural,. They are also too
close, compact and damp, causing the
bulbs to start to mildew, or to decay.
Would you pack your potatoes in any of
the above! Simply pack clumps one on
top of the other, placing each clump up-
side down.

Undoubtedly you are aware that the
dahlia stalk is hollow, and that this hol-
low contains a watery substance, or
acid. If you pack your clumps with
the stalk up, the acid will flow back
into the crown of the clump, causing
decay; whereas, if you turn your
clumps upside down the acid must flow
out, and clump will remain in a perfect-
ly dormant condition. Pack clumps up-
side down, in boxes or barrels, packing
one on top of the other.

Dahlias in an old-fashioned cellar will
keep well without any covering, but in
a cellar having a cement bottom, or
heat, the boxes or barrels should be
lined with heavy paper, and covered
with paper or burlap. Covering with
paper or burlap excludes the air and
preserves a more even temperature. In

heated places the circulation of air and
heat causes the bulbs to shrivel and dry
up. A covering of this kind prevents
the roots from shriveling.

INDIANA FLORISTS TO MEET.

The November meeting of the State
Florists' Association of Indiana will be
held with Hichmond members, Novem-
ber 2, instead of November 8, as an-
nounced at the Anderson meeting.
Please make due note of the above and
arrange to spend the day with our
Bichmond friends. Indianapolis florists
will leave the Union station at 7:05
a. m. over the Pennsylvania railroad.
Buy tickets to Easthaven, which is the
stop directly opposite the plant of the
E. G. Hill Co.

BIPENINO OBEEN TOMATOES.

As of interest to the grower^ who has
a garden, it may be timely to note that
green tomatoes, carefully picked and
wrapped in tissue paper and placed in
a room that is temperate to quite cold
but dry, will ripen successfully up to
Christmas. A late-planted vine, or late
crop, seems to yield a firmer product
than green fruit of early-planted vines.
I have before me some beautiful, firm
fruit, weighing from one-fourth to one-
half pound, and especially nice for
slicing. Theo. F. Beckert.

MUM SHOW AT BANGOR, ME.

The first chrysanthemum show to be
held in the state of Maine will take
place November 1 and 2, at Bangor,
in the rooms of the Chamber of Com-
merce. It has been arranged under
the auspices of the Maine State Flo-

rists' Society. The members are hop-
ing the show will be successful enough
to make it an annual event. Alexander
Lurie, instructor in floriculture and
landscape gardening at the University
of Maine, who informs The Review of
the plans of the society for holding the
show, writes as follows:

"The florists have responded splen-
didly and have done themselves proud
in the exhibitions which have been held'
in connection with agricultural fairs. '^

CULTUBE or EUPATOBIUMS.

Will you please advise me as to the
culture of eupatoriumst ,

L. M. S. & C— Del.

The treatment of eupatoriums is prac- *
tically the same as that of stevias.
Take cuttings in winter and either grow
them on in pots plunged outdoors
through the summer, or plant them out,
lifting and potting them before there
is danger of frost. Give them cool
greenhouse treatment. The plants will
need one or two pinchings through the
early summer. Good varieties to grow
under glass are E. riparium, E. glandu-
losum and E. glabratum. There are
also a number of good hardy eupato-
riums, useful in the hardy perennitil
borders. The blue variety, E. cceles-
tintnrr,~ll~now classed as a conoclinium.

OHICAQO SPECIAI. PBEMIUMS;

' A Fine Showing of Prizes.

' All the plans for the Chicago Gi-aind
Floral Testival, to be held at the Coli-
seum, November 9 to 14, were fully dis-
ciissed in a half -day meeting of the
executive committee, held at the Morri-
son hotel, October 21, when A. Hender-
son, W. N. Eudd, W. J. Keimel, August
Poehlmann, N. J. Wietoi, E, F, Kurow-
sjii, Guy W. French, N. P. Miller, E. A.
Kanst, Payne Jennings, Robert Brenton,
J. H. Burdett, August Koch, James
Morton and M. Barker were in attend-
ance. The final premium list is in the
hands of the printers and will be ready
fpr mailing this week. Copies may be
had on application to Secretary N. P.
Miller, 179 North Wabash avenue,
Chicago.

' An item of unusual interest is the
twenty-five silver cups being donated
by the greenhouse manufacturers of
Chicago. Instead of taking spao« in
the Coliseum annex, making trade ex-
hibits of greenhouses and greenhouse
appliance?, the same as is usually done
at the annual convention of the
S. A. F., the greenhouse manufacturers
of Chicago suggested that the space be
sold to others and that a contribution
be collected among the manufacturers
and donated to the show to be used as
prizes. Lord & Burnham Co., Foley
Mfg. Cd., Garland Mfg. Co., Ickes-Braun
Mill Co., A. Dietsch Co. and the John
C. Moninger Co. were represented at a
luncheon at the Grand Pacific hotel
October 13, at which a subscription
was taken and a fund of $500 was made
up for the purchase of silver cups. It
is expected that the action of the green-
house manufacturers in getting together
in this way and making a bulk con-
tribution will set a precedent for
others of the allied trades and the fu-
ture may bring more concerted action
in this direction. P. L. McKee was
given authority to collect the funds,
arrange for publicity and distribution
of the prizes. It is expected they will
be exhibited in one of the large stores
downtown prior to the opening of the
show.

In addition to the handsome collec-
tion of cups donated by greenhouse con-
struction concerns in the vicinity of
Chicago, a large number of other spe-
cial prizes have been received, includ-
ing the following:

The Guarantee Fund.

In order to guard against such a mis-
fortune as might come with a week of
bad weather, the executive committee
some time ago started a guarantee fund

iii charge of A. F. Poehlmann. It was
agreed that ten per cent of the net
profit of the show goes to the guaran-
tors in proportion as they subscribe for
same. The balance of the profit, if any,
goes equally to the Chicago Florists'
Chib and the Horticultural Society of
Chicago. Among those who had sub-
scribed October 20, were:

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Committee Meeting at FMladelpMa.

The work of preparation for the
Fourth National Flower Show, to be
held at Philadelphia, March 25 to April
•2, 1916, received a great impetus
through the three days' visit of the Na-
tional Flower Show committee, October
18 to 20. With the exception of W. N.
Kudd, of Morgan Park, 111., the whole
of the committee, with President Pat-
rick Welch of the S. A. F., were present.
President S. S. Fennock, of the Ameri-
can Rose Society, was present also.

Early the first morning the members
of the committee were greeted by Chair-
man George Asmus, of Chicago, at the
Bellevue-Stratford hotel, and the sub-
committee on schedule, with Chairman
Asmus, C. H. Totty, Thomas Roland,
Adolph Farenwald and Secretary John
Young, adjourned at once to Parlor 215,
where the preparation of the second
preliminary schedule was commenced.

Secretary Young presented a list of
special prizes offered for various ex-
hibits, and the disposition of them
through the schedule occupied consider-
able time. In the section for private
growers, a class was added covering a
group of flowering and foliage plants,
arranged for effect, to occupy twenty-
five square feet, the stock shown to be
produced from 2,500 square feet of
glass, or lesSjthe exhibitors to be mem-
bers of the Florists' Club of Philadel-
phia. This class will be appreciated by
private gardeners who are limited to a
small area of glass for their products.
In the commercial section a class was
added for a group of crotons, arranged
for effect, to cover 100 square feet, with
prizes of $150 and $100. The premium
list for the carnation section was ap-
proved and many other matters settled.

Sub-Committees Beport.

The sub-committee on schedule was
again in session in the afternoon, and at
this meeting there were present many
of the chairmen of the local commit-
tees, and the gathering eventually
merged into a meeting of the local ex-
ecutive committee. W, P. Craig, Ar-
thur Niessen, secretary and treasurer of
the local executive committee; Robert
Craig, E. J. Fancourt, W. F. Therkild-
son, Frederick Cowperthwaite, Charles
Grakelow, S. S. Pennock, John P. Ha-
bermehl, Louis Burk, William Klein-
heinz, C. H. Fox, J. Otto Thilow and
Franklin Barrett all made reports for
their respective committees, which
showed the work was progressing in a
most satisfactory manner.

Mr. Therkildson, chairman of the
committee on publicity, presented sam-
ples of advertising stickers for use on
stationery, packages, and in other ways,
250,000 of which have been ordered and
may be obtained by anyone who can
use them to advantage. He also dis-
played samples of large posters and two
sizes of card posters, all of which were
approved by the committee and adopted.
Mr. Therkildson 's report was interest-
ing and covered in detail the work and
plans of his committee. In closing, he
appealed to all who can do so to furnish
him with articles and photographs cov-
ering floricultural subjects adapted for
use in his campaign of publicity.

Here's the Latest Corsage Position, on the Stole of Fur.

*v i

Mr. Thilow, for the committee on lec-
tures, reported that his program was
practically complete; it provides for
moving pictures each afternoon and
illustrated lectures each evening. Mr.
Grakelow, for the committee on special
features, outlined what his committee
aimed to achieve, and some novel show
features are now expected to evolve
from the committee. Mr. Barrett, for
the committee on aquariums, promised
an extensive line of exhibits in the
aquarium section.

General Session.

A full meeting of the National Flower
Show committee was held October 19 at
the Bellevue-Stratford, there being pres-
ent Chairman Asmus, Secretary Young,
Treasurer W. F. Kasting and Messrs.
Farenwald, Tottj', Roland, Craig, and
President Welch. Local Executive Sec-
retary Niessen was also present. Sec-
retary Young reported that the guaran-
tee fund was practically complete, that
space aggregating over $6,000 had been
reserved already in the trade section,
and that advertising contracts amount-
ing to over $1,200 had been booked for
the oflRcial souvenir program. In all
probability, he said, every available foot
of space for trade exhibits would be
sold. The committee voted that a call
be made for fifty per cent of the
amounts subscribed to the guarantee
fund, February 1, 1916.

The recommendations of the various

committees made at the meeting of the
local executive committee were consid-
ered, and appropriations made to cover
the requirements of such committees.
Th^ local executive committee was au-
thiitfized to secure an office in a central
location and to employ the necessary
clerical help for the committees. The
price for trade tickets was fixed at 25
cents each, not less than twenty-five
tickets to be sold to anyone at this
price. C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.,
was appointed chairman of the board of
jurors, and William Graham, of Phila-
delphia, was appointed manager of the
show.

In the afternoon the committee, with
the chairmen of several of the local
committees, visited Convention hall and
inspected it thoroughly. With the in-
formation now available as to require-
ments of the competitive exhibits in
point of space, it was obvious that more
room would be required than was
afforded by the present layout, so it
was decided to move the trade exhibits
a little distance from the marked cen-
tral area of the hall, to increase the
room for the competitive exhibits. The
secretary was instructed to notify any
exhibitor holding a reservation, whose
plans might be affected by the change,
that the rearrangement was made
necessary by the great number of com-
petitive exhibits promised, and the
elaborate scale on which manv of them

Olub Meeting, '

■t. ■,v •

On the evening of October 19 the
members of the National JPlower Show
committee were guests of the Florists'
Club of Philadelphia at a speeial meet-
ing of the club held in its rooms, Presi-
dent Burton surrendering the gavel to
Chairman Asmus, of the Flower Show
committee. The forthcoming ^Fpurth
National Flower Show was, of coutae,
the whole subject of the progratm, and
tremendous enthusiasm in the project
was evoked. The spirit of optimism
prevailed, and if there was a pfessiraist
anywhere in the neighbbrhood • who
wished in any way to throw cold, water
on the enterprise, he very diaereetly
kept away. It was a " get together ' '
meeting, if ever th,ere was one.
Speeches came thick and fast, and ap-
plause was unspotred. It was a nieet-
ing long to be rpmembered and 'spoke
volumes for the success of the show.

BY WEIGHT, NOT BULK. < )>,

In the last paragraph of my recent
notes on * ' Carnations in the South, ' ' on
page 18 of The Review of October 21,
I made what might prove to be a mis-
leading statement in regard to the mix-
ing of sheep manure and guano. I sug-

gested a mixture of two parts' of sheep
manure to one part of commercial
guano. That proportion is correct if
the two fertilizers are mixed by weight,
not by bulk. If they are mixed by
bulk, the ratio should be four parts of
sheep ma,nure to one part of guano.
Applied in the usual quantity, the two-
to-one mixture in bulk ■would be ex-
cessive in nitrogen imd ; jgtight , have
bad effects. '-"'lirpi^-i-jf-:.'!- ^ "L.- ■

5^' ''''^ABY DOLL BOS&

rl>,..

Some confusion having arisen, it is
well to state that there is no connection
whatever between the roses George
Elger and Baby Doll. George Elger is
a miniature yellow rose which we intro-
duced in this country last year, having
secured it from the producer, E. Turbat,
of Orleans, France. Baby Doll is larger
and stronger in both bud and stem and
the color is entirely new and pro-
nounced by the most expert roaarians
entirely different from any other rose,
the lower part of the bud being yel-
low but blended toward the end to deep
carmine red. It is a wonderful color
that creates admiratioi; and wonder
wherever shown. We are producing, at
the South Park Floral Co., Newcastle,
Ind., the stock that will be disseminated
by ourselves ^ and some other firms this
coming year. Those experienced in the
promotion of new roses predict a great
demand for _ this unusual novelty.

;- • i, . M. Heller.

[The fame called Baby Doll has been
referred to as being sold on the New
York market by the John Young Co.,
and on the Chicago market by the E. C.
Amling Co., both handling cut stock re-

ceived from Mr. Heller's company. The
confusion as to the identity of the rose
doubtless grew out of the practice of
renaming these small roses, Mile. Oecile
Brunner being best known as Sweet-
heart,' etc.]

THE DONALDSON GAS SUIT.

"William H. Siebrecht, attorney for
John Donaldson, of Patchogue, in his
suit against the Newton Gas Co. for
damages done the stock in his green-
houses at Elmhurst, L. I., states that
the case has been settled. The company
paid Mr. Donaldson over $2,700.

The settlement of this suit is of more
than usual interest, inasmuch as the
gas main which caused the trouble was
practically new, having been laid only
two years prior to the damage, and,
furthermore, no one ever smelled gas
in Mr. Donaldson's greenhouse. Never-
theless, the growth of his stock of
Easter lilies was stunted and his calla
lilies were destroyed. Experts who were
called into the case pronounced illumi-
nating gas the cause of the injury
to the plants and flowers, and this was
substantiated by certain experiments
which Mr. Siebrecht caused to be con-
ducted.

Shortly after this leakage Mr. Don-
aldson sold his property in Elmhurst
and moved to Patchogue. His son, Alex-
ander Donaldson, now conducts the
florists' business at his father's old
place. The first winter that the son put
through in the same house there was
another leak, or a continuation of the
same leak, which resulted in another
suit against the same gas company.

WILTING OF OUT BLOOMS.

I have a fine lot of chrysanthemums,
with tall, stiff stems and good, green
foliage. I am cutting Chrysolora and
Polly Rose and the blooms are large
and fine. After cutting them, I put
them in water of the same temperature
as the air and in a cool room, although
no ice is used, but the next day both
blooms and leaves wilt. What can I
do to prevent thist J. "V. A. — Ky.

Chrysanthemums do not need ice
when placed in water. The question of
their wilting after being cut comes up
every fall. If the stem at the base,
where they are cut off, is extremely
hard, they should be either split up or
bruised with a hammer in order to per-
mit the water to be drawn up into the
stem. It may be said that the most
frequent cause of flowers wilting is that
the stem is so hard that the water will
not pass up. Again, when mums are
cut, it not infrequently happens that
they are stuck into vases entirely too
small for them; consequently they flop
all over and do not get a chance to

take up the water properly. Mum
blooms should be placed in a receptacle
deep enough to allow the flowers to
stand erect. When this is done and the
stems are split or bruised as already
directed, there should be no trouble
with the blooms wilting.

should like to try a new way of keep-
ing the old stock plants.

F. A. W.— Ohio.

WINTEEINO STOCK PLANTS.

My early chrysanthemums are all cut
and I have been thinking of lifting the
old plants, planting them outside in a
coldframe and covering them with a
heavy layer of leaves during the winter.
In early spring I would remove the
leaves and cover the frames with
sashes. Do you think this method .
would give stronger and hardier cut-
tings, or do you think it would not
work at all? If you do not approve of
the plan, will you kindly tell me of a
good way to keep over the old stock
plants so as to insure strong cuttings?
I am growing such early varieties as
Smith's Advance, Smith's Sensation,
Golden Glow and Pacific Supreme. I
am greatly crowded for room, and

It is all right to lift old plants and
plant them outside in a coldframe until
spring. When they are replanted, how-
ever, one must be sure that they are
well firmed in the soil, and they should
not be covered with leaves until the
winter is well advanced, so they will
have a chance to make some roots and
get established in their new quarters.
They will certainly give much stronger
and better cuttings than if they were
kept in the greenhouse and thrown
under the benches, which happens in too
many places where mums are of sec-
ondary consideration.

If you are feeding your plants much,
you will find it far better to grow some
stock plants of all your varieties out in
the field and not to propagate from
plants that have been forced in the
greenhouses year after year. This is
the sole cause of so many splendid
varieties of chrysanthemums breaking
down so early and coming to an un-
timely end. By all means put your

plants out in the frame and, unless the
winter happens to be unusually severe,
they will come through perfectly.

MONEY IN THIS MUM.

The excellent prices obtained this
season for good early mums has had
the effect of measurably stimulating the
demand for stock plants of certain va-
rieties and, no doubt, the same increased
call will later be noted for cuttings and
2%-inch pot plants. But the demand
is discriminating; not all varieties
share in it. "It is not especially pleas-
ant," write Zieger & Sons, of Philadel-
phia, who have been advertising stock
plants in The Review, "to have to re-
turn good cash, being oversold on Early
Frost at $15 per hundred, while no one
seems to want Golden Glow. That the
trade wants one variety and not the
other is an established fact, or The Re-
view would have sold us out of Golden
Glow by this time, too. We know this
because, although we were sold out of
double pink bouvardias and discon-
tinued the ad two weeks ago, we still
are receiving orders every day, show-
ing how even the back numbers of The
Review are searched by those who want
certain kinds of stock."

The special call for Early Frost as
compared with Golden Glow, of course,
is due to the fact that nearly everyone
has the older variety, while only a com-
parative few have the newer one.
There is, however, the further fact that
a large number of Golden Glow damped
off or were badly spotted by the pe-
culiar weather conditions this summer
and early autumn, costing the growers
considerable money, while the white
came good and brought excellent prices.

Early Frost is a Dorner variety, sent
out last year. It is exceptionally early,
the result of a cross between Golden
Glow and October Frost. It has the

The Baker Bros. Floral Co., of Fort
Worth, Tex., anticipates good business
this season. C. Papworth, manager of
the seed department, notes an excep-
tionally healthy stock of callas and
Lilium candidum. Failure to receive
their order of Chinese lilies, because of
reported cholera in China, caused Ed-
ward Baker to remark that this was a
great time for germs and germicides.

En route to Dallas is a pleasure park,
the entrance of which is covered with

bright climber. It is a splendid plant
for the south and has done exception-
ally well this season.

S. J. Mitchell, of the publicity com-
mittee of the fall flower show to be
held at Houston, Tex., reports excellent
progress. He is enthusiastic over the
features planned for the S. A, F. con-
vention next year and believes that no
one will regret making the trip. An
object of great interest to the visitors
will be the southern vegetation. The
recent storm, which caused great havoc,
has been almost forgotten, so quick
are our southern confreres to recover
their equilibrium. The trade is rapidly
getting into shape.

SCENES AT CEDAB AOSES.

An uncontrollable fire may wipe out
of existence, in a few minutes, property
that has cost months and years of men 's
most strenuous efforts. But the men,
however greatly distressed or even dis-
couraged they may be at the time, are
not usually baffled by such a catastrophe
— if they are the right sort of men. In-
stead, they proceed to outwit and
thwart the fire-fiend, if they can, by
building a larger and better edifice than
the one that was destroyed, and build-
ing it of such materials that it will be
a less easy prey to fire than the former
structure was. Thus did B. Hammond
Tracy, bring good out of evil on his
gladiolus fields at Cedar Acres, Wenham,
Mass., when he erected the handsome
bulb hpuse which is here seen in the
illustrations.

The new building, which takes the
place of one that was demolished by fire
in November of last year, is believed by
Mr. Tracy to be thoroughly fireproof.
It is constructed of concrete and terra-
cotta blocks, with a "slap-dashed"
finish. Its dimensions are 60x80 feet.
On the upper floor is a show room,
.36x45, ■n^hich, as indicated by one of the
illustrations, seems to be excellently

LOUISVILLE, ET.

LANCASTER, PA.

The Market.

A steady increase in business, accom-
panied by a growing cash trade and a
favorable outlook for the winter, was
noticeable last week. More social
affairs have been announced for this
winter than we had all of last winter.

With the exception of carnations,
stock is plentiful. Chrysanthemums are
plentiful, while good roses equal the
demand.

It has been several years since carna-
tions have been as scarce at this time
of year as they are now. It is well,
however, that this is the case, for with
a full crop of chrysanthemums on, the
demand for carnations is much cur-
tailed.

Various Notes.

The Kentucky Society of Florists will
hold its monthly meeting at the store of
Secretary August R. Baumer, in the Ma-
sonic Temple, on Wednesday, Novem-
ber 3, at 8 o'clock.

fulfilling the purpose for which it was
intended. In the rear of the show room
are the oflfices, and the remainder of this
story of the building will be used for
bulb storage. On the ground floor are
the wholesale flower room, carriage
rooms,, garage, carpenter shop and addi-
tional space for bulb storage.

Mr. Tracy stated, when he had nearly
completed the harvesting of this year's
crop of bulbs, or corms, that he had
never stored cleaner or more healthy
looking stock. "We are grateful," he
said, "to be able to harvest so fine a
crop of the best commercial varieties,
though we still feel keenly the loss of
the many choice varieties that were de-
stroyed by the fire."

giving week. He has been appointed
chairman of a committee to interest the

eral florists have availed themselves of
this liberal offer.

Club Meeting.

The Lancaster Florists' Association
met October 21 in the room of the
Chamber of Commerce, with a large at-
tendance. Robert Fyle, of the Conard
& Jones Co., of West Grove, Pa., was
present and gave an interesting ac-
count of his trip to the Pacific coast
last summer, as well as his impressions
of floriculture in the west. Mr. Pyle
showed some fine pictures, which added
much to the evening's pleasure. On the
motion of Rodney Eshleman, a vote of
thanks was tendered Mr. Pyle.

Messrs. M. J. Brinton, Elmer J.
Weaver and Frank L. Kohr were ap-
pointed as a committee to draw up res-
olutions of sympathy on the death of
our lamented fellow-member, the late
George G. Goldbach.

R. L. Mowbry, assistant treasurer of
the Conard & Jones Co., congratulated
the association on its attendance and
the enthusiasm shown. Frederick
Hardy and Adam Felsinger were elected
to membership.

Quite a discussion followed on the
workingmen's compensation bill passed
recently by the Pennsylvania legis-
lature.

The visiting committee is arranging
a trip to Reading for early in Novem-
ber, to visit the florists there. A large
number of the members expressed their
intention of going. At the next meet-
ing, November ,18, mums will be the
subject for discussion.

Charles B. Herr, of Strasburg, enter-
tained the Glad Hand committee. The
members of this committee are all past
masters at croquet. Of the five classy
games played, J. Butlet Hess and Mr.
Herr won four. Their opponents were
Ira H. Landis and J. Wade Gayley.
After the games refreshments were
served by Mr. Herr.

Members Visit Greenhouses.

A party of more than twenty mem-
bers of the association paid visits to
seven of the florists' establishments
around the city the day of the meet-
ing.

The first stop was at the houses of
the Wheatland Greenhouse Co., where
George Ream showed the sights to the
visitors. Matchless, Enchantress Su-
preme, Mrs. Akehurst and Alma Ward
carnations are grown here. Cutting
was going on in a house of exception-
ally well-grown Chrysolora mums.
Their Golden Glow, the best ever grown
by the company, were all sold several
weeks ago and the space filled with
potted carnations.

Thomas R. Fries was visited next.
His houses are located on the historic
property where President Buchanan
lived. Mr. Fries is a specialist in ferns
and other decorative plants, of which
he has some fine varieties, all in the
best possible shape. He grows mums
also, and is one of the largest bulb
forcers in this section.

Third among those visited were B.
Frank Barr & Co. Their carnations
are starting splendidly. Matchless,
Mrs. Ward, Benora, Delhi and White
Ward are the principal varieties. The
rose houses are full of good, thrifty
plants, loaded with young, blooming
wood. Ophelia is well thought of by
them. Mums in great variety were in
fine form.

Albert M. Herr's place was the next

stop. This is where millions of gera-
nium cuttings are raised annually. His
immense houses of stock plants are a
sight pleasant to look upon. Houses of
Asparagus plumosus, in 2i^-inch pots,
were Hoted. Mr. Herr is rooting a fine
,stock"T6f Buddleia Asiatica. This beau-
tiful ?#bwer has a great future as a
gree^Buse cut flower.

Kli^m)h Nagel 's establishment was
inspw^ along with the rest. He is
erecting two new houses and installing
a large Kroeschell boiler. His early
mums are nearly all cut. The principal
varieties were Smith's Advance, Unaka
and Golden Glow, all of which were
grown to perfection. His Alice Salo-
mon, Pink Gem and Chieftain, as well
;is a house of singles and pompons, are
looking well. Geranium cuttings are
one of his specialties.

The next call was at H. D, Eohrer's
houses, on East Orange street, where
the growth of Bonnaffon mums gives
promise of a large cut. William Tur-
ner, Chieftain, Dolly Dimple and the
Chadwicks are grown also. In carna-
tions, Matchless, Enchantress Supreme,
White Wonder, Alice and Sacrlet Won-
der are grown, and indications point to
a good cut of blooms. Orchid-flower-
ing peas are well advanced. Beds of
myosotis and Primula malacoides are
in good shape.

A call was made at the greenhouses
of the late George G. Goldbach. His
Matchless and Mrs. Ward carnations
looked well. Snapdragons, calla lilies,
calendulas, sweet peas, violets and a
house of Kaiserin roses, all give prom-
ise of a good cut of blooms throughout
the season.

J. P. Siebold was the last grower
visited. Rooted geranium cuttings are
his main stock. His plants are in fine
condition. H. K. R.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The week ending October 23 was
not quite up to expectations, until its
close, at which time the usual Saturday
strength materialized and the Sunday
morning call absorbed everything of
value except the chrysanthemums, with
the surplus of which we must now
reckon daily until Thanksgiving. In
the suffrage parade, October 23, yellow
mums were much in evidence, but grow-
ers must have had this event in mind,
if the flood of yellow flowers in the
market was an indication.

The p,resent week opened with clear,
cold wesiither and the fall season fairly
started.. Shipments of all kinds of sea-
sonable „flowers are rapidly increasing.
A fewij^rysanthemums of exceptional
size brought $4 and $5 per dozen, but
$2.50 to $3 per dozen more accurately
represents the value of the special
blooms. From these prices down to 50
cents per dozen and even less sums up
the gradations.

This week ends the dahlia season, the
best year of its experience. Sweet peas
are again arriving, the Spencers bring-
ing fair prices. There are few high
grade gardenias and these are quickly
absorbed at fancy prices. The short-
stemmed stock even is firm at higher
rates, than usual at this date. There
is still a sufficiency of orchids and
prices continue abnormally low for late
October. Valley is abundant and can
be bought at $2 to $3 per hundred.
I^ongiflorum lilies are also down, the

Show Room in the New Bulb House of B. Hammond Tracy.

best last week selling as low as $6
per hundred. The New York market
never has seen finer cosmos.

Violets are rapidly improving in
quality and shipments grow heavier
daily. The top price to date has been
50 cents, but a better violet season than
usual is generally anticipated.

The shortage in carnations is over and
the quality and size are much more at-
tractive to buyers, but with twenty-five
varieties of roses to pick from, and as
many of chrysanthemums, the old-time
prices for carnations seem to be unat-
tainable. Blooms had to be large and
perfect last week to command $3 per
hundred.

Beauties must be perfect to hold the
top quotations, with so many novelty
roses now bidding for recognition and
rapidly approaching their best in size
and stem. With Key, Hadley, Hoosier
Beauty, Radiance, Shawyer, Ward, Sun-
burst, Ophelia, Mock, Russell and Stan-
ley all in good shape, it is hard to say
which is the favorite.

Various Notes.

Flower shows this week at Red Bank,
Madison and Glen Cove and next week
at Oyster Bay, Tarrytown and New
York make these the gala weeks of the
fast waning autumn season. From No-
vember 3 to 7 the flower lovers of New
York city will have a continuous op-
portunity, the American Institute ex-

liibition running from November 3 to
5, and that of the New York Horti-
cultural Society, at the Museum of
Natural History, from November 4 to 7.

Richard Vincent, Jr., president of the
American Dahlia Society, will give a
stereopticon lecture before the Rose-
bank Garden Club, on Staten Island,

Charles H. Totty, of Madison, will
lecture on "Hardy Chrysanthemums,"
on the afternoon of November I, at the
rooms of the Country Life Permanent
Exposition, above the waiting room of
the Grand Central Terminal, on Forty-
second street. Monthly flower shows
from this date on will add interest and
variety to this enterprise.

concern had the misfortune last week
t» lose one of its valuable horses by

Madison avenue is fast becoming the
retail florists' Mecca, three new stores
having been opened in the last few
weeks. The latest is that of "William
EJitfaer, at 754. Mr. ' Kather formerly
waa with Wadley & Smythe and is a
decorator of wide reputation.

New counters, iceboxes and all the
usual facilities for an extensive busi-
ness now are complete at the new store

Chairman Henshaw, of the transpor-
tation committee, states that there will

The annual fall inspection tours of
the New York and New Jersey Associa-
tion of Plant Growers have again been
arranged. Tiie tour over Long Island
will take place Friday, October 29. The
party will start from the office of Wil-
liam H. Siebrecht, Jr., Queens Plaza
Court building, Long Island City, at 9
a. m., and will travel in touring cars
furnished by the members to visit the
establishments in Long Island City,

Flushing, Whitestone, Jamaica and
Flatbush. The trip through New Jersey
will take place Friday, November 5.
Messrs. Zeller and Wagner are the com-
mittee which has the Long Island trip
in charge, and Messrs. Fiesser and

trip,

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

Business is better than the most san-
guine expectations; in fact, it is posi-
tively brisk and encouraging. Delight-
ful fall weather has set inj thus render-
ing firing easy. Outdoors the men are
engaged in drawing sod and planting
bulbs. Bulbs this season are a credit
to the growers. If we could always
get such stock without having to go to
war it would be a much greater credit.
. Valley has advanced in price to $4
for No. 1 quality and $3 for No. 2
quality. The demand keeps up. Beau-
ties are plentiful and of good color,
and the new varieties of roses are in
large demand. Orchids were scarce
last week, owing to the great demand
from the large cities across the border,
but Cattleya labiata and C. Trianse will
be plentiful again in a few days. Vio-
lets are in full crop and meet a ready
sale at 50 cents per hundred, and mums
are now beginning to arrive in large
quantities.

Various Notes.

The last of a batch of 50,000 pteris
from the Dale Estate was cleared out
last week. The stock is better than
any other ever grown at the Dale Es-
tate.

As there is to be no flower show at
Toronto this fall, the Ontario Horticul-
tural Society's annual convention will
be held in the Parliament building, To-
ronto, November 10 and 11.

The taxpayers of Georgetown, near

Brampton, recently passed a by-law
whereby a loan of $30,000 was made to
the Glass Gardeii Builders' Co. for the
purpose of erecting a factory in the
town.

J. H. Dunlop and party visited the
Dale Estate last week to view the green-
houses. Frank Dunlop leaves shortly
to take a course at Cornell University.

W. G. P.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The last fortnight has been ideal fall
weather, rather warmer than normal,
and with the disappearance of outdoor
stock there has been a decidedly better
tone to the market; in fact, all agree
that we are having good business con-
ditions, fully as good as before the war.

Boses continue plentiful and the qual-
ity is improving every week. Carna-
tions are in full crop and the quality
is good, although they still lack some-
thing in size. There are plenty of first-
class chrysanthemums at last, but no
surplus has developed as yet. There
are practically no American Beauty
roses on the market here at present.
Orchids are fairly plentiful, but not so
abundant that they will not clean up
at $1 apiece. Orchids here mean cat-
tleyas, for, although we see some good
ones of other varieties at times, they
do not sell, possibly because they have
never been offered in sufficient numbers
to acquaint the public with them. In
general, prices, both wholesale and re-
tail, are satisfactory; in fact, prices are
rather better than in an average year.

Everyone seems to have plenty of
valley and no one seems to be worry-
ing about the future. There still are
plenty of pips on hand to last for sev-
eral weeks.

Those who handle the most Dutch
bulbs report that business has been un-
usually good thus far this fall. We are
told that some varieties are growing
scarce already. The demand for tulips
has been especially good. A few years
ago tulips did not sell at all w611 here,
as the early varieties bloom in this
climate before they develop any stem
to speak of. The introduction of the
taller Darwins has brought the demand.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. has laid cement
walks in all its greenhouses. It is a
great improvement, as the walks are not
only always dry to the feet of the
workmen, but they make it much easier
to roll the barrows when handling soil
or fertilizer. This is a new departure
for Nashville. The company is plan-
ning a new office building for next
spring.

We note that Haury & Sons have
been making an improved showing in
their windows of late. We saw some
fine large chrysanthemums at their place
this week. This firm seems to be hav-
ing exceptional success with the grow-
ing end this year.

Geny Bros, are handling a line of ex-
ceptionally beautiful aquariums. They
are on stands that are about three feet
tall and are so arranged that they hold
pot plants as well as fish. One makes
a good ornament in a store, and they
are a good side line for the trade.

.Toe Brown, of Lischey's Gardens, is
beginning to improve his place again.
Two years ago he thought he was going
to die so soon that it was of no use

to improve. He seems perfects well
again. F. B.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

Tbe Market.

The last week has seen business go
flat again, after a busy period of about
two weeks' duration. However, some
good orders have been placed for Hal-
loween, for which a good supply of
stock is promised. Saturday was the
best day of the week and most of the
stock was moved. There was a good
quantity of funeral work. Weddings
are not numerous and they are small
affairs.

Stock has been good and fairly plenti-
ful. Chrysanthemums are the chief
sellers, in yellow, pink, lavender and
white, and their quality is fine. Chrys-
oloras are especially good and sell splen-
didly. Quantities of roses are arriving
daily. The new rose, Mrs. Hearst, is
particularly well liked. Sunburst,
Ward, Hoosier Beauty and Hadley are
excellent and iare purchased in prefer-
ence to some of the older kinds. Car-
nations are improving, but the crop is
not heavy. Easter lilies are good and
sell fairly well. Valley is also good.
Orchids and gardenias move slowly. A
few sweet peas were in the market last
week and sold well. Violets are making
their first appearance and sell readily.
Dahlias have been plentiful and of fine
quality. Pansies are good, but the
short stems prevent many sales. Mig-
nonette, tuberoses, daisies and bouvar-
dias complete the stock. Flowering
plants are becoming more plentiful.

Various Notes.

Visitors last week included G. Eeising,
of L. Baumann & Co., Chicago; William
Dykes, of Ed. Jansen, New York; a
representative of the Manhattan Rib-
bon Co., New York, and E. F. Kennon,
of the Climax Mfg. Co., Castorland,

George B. Hart and George Cramer
were in Buffalo, N. Y., last week on a
business trip.

The Rochester Florists' Bowling
Club met at the Elks' Club last week
for practice previous to the Cleveland
trip.

E. C. Armbrust was responsible for
the decoration at the Powers hotel last
week, the event being a donation for
the Home of the Friendless. Large
quantities of pink dahlias and pink
and white cosmos were used. Business
with Mr. Armbrust is excellent and he
is well pleased with so good a begin-
ning.

October 19 was Apple day in westen
New York. Scores of business houses
made their windows a big attraction by
the use of beautiful displays of apples.
Among the florists taking part were
Salter Bros., J. B. Keller Sons, H. E.
Wilson and the Rochester Floral Co.
H. E. Wilson did not enter the prize
contest, but was awarded honorable
mention. His window was artistically
arranged with a huge horn of plenty,
the mouth of which was full of choice
apples. Several baskets of specimen
apples also were shown, and there were
baskets and vases of large yellow and
white chrysanthemums, with a back-
ground of palms and ferns. Crowds of
people visited this display.

Most of his stock is for Thanksgiving
trade.

S. W. Morgan, of Le Eoy, N. Y., and

Buying conditions were exceedingly
trying last week, for business was re-
markably good and there was a great
scarcity of roses, carnations and, in
fact, almost all kinds of flowers.
Chrysanthemums were the only flowers
that could be had in any quantity. In
these there were many new arrivals.
Foremost among them were Monrovia,
Pacific, Touset, Unaka and Polly Rose.
Carnations were extremely scarce, but
the few blooms available were of good
quality. Roses were more plentiful.
Mrs. Russell, Sunburst, Shawyer and
Ophelia are good sellers. The smaller
varieties of roses are in good demand
for corsages, many of which are sold
for the early dances.

There were several killing frosts last
week and there is not a particle of out-
door stock left on the market. Heavy
firing is being done in the greenhouses
these days, especially at night, when it
is extremely cold. The growers are be-
ginning to receive their Dutch bulbs
and word has been received by one
grower that the azaleas have already
arrived in Niew York.

Easter lilies and rubrum lilies are in
good supply. A few snapdragons are
seen on the market and the first violets
are making their appearance. Valley
and orchids are meeting with a good
sale.

Various Notes,

At the real estate banquet held at
the Commercial Club several florists
donated flowers for table decorations.
They were F. J. Knecht, the Flick
Floral Co. and W. J. & M. S. Vesey.

Miss Helen Fatten, of the Patten
Flower Shop, Toledo, O., spent last week
in this city, a guest at the Flick resi-
dence. Miss Patten is boosting the
Toledo flower show, to be held the first
week in November. Several retailers
are planning to make exhibits of table
decorations, wedding bouquets, etc.
Miss Patten reports that business is all
that could be wished for this fall and
that she is looking forward to a good
season.

The F. J. Knecht greenhouses are
making a fine showing. In the chrysan-
themum houses, Chrysolora and October
Frost are splendid. One house of Rus-

sell roses looks promising. Shawyer
and Sunburst were in a prime condition.
This concern has 50,000 feet of glass
and only has been in existence a few
years. Frank Knecht is planning to
take in both the Toledo and Cleveland
flower shows in November.

A number of representatives of the
Flower Growers' Corporation, of De-
troit, were visitors last week. R. F.

NEWARK, N. J.

TOLEDO, O.

The Market.

The weather at present is unseason-
ably warm, which is a great help to
florists who still have outdoor work
to do. The supply of cut flowers is
more plentiful than that of last week.
Choice mums can be had from $3.50 to
$20 per hundred. This stock is excel-
lent, for this time of the year. Roses,
especially Killarney, Richmond and
Aaron Ward, are nne and sell at $3
per hundred and up. Carnations now
have longer and stiffer stems and those
with larger flowers bring $2 per hun-
dred for firsts and $2.50 for fancy.
American Beauties are scarce.

Club Meeting.

At the last meeting of the Toledo
Florists' Club, Elmer Smith, of Adrian,
Mich., exhibited several varieties of
chrysanthemums. These choice blooms'
were later auctioned off and the pro-
ceeds given to Mr. Smith.

Much enthusiasm was shown by the
retailers over the fall show and a great
success is expected. Nearly every re-
tail florist is preparing a table decora-
tion for the show and, besides, each
and every one is planning an exhibit
to please and inspire the public. All
chrysanthemums and cut flowers ex-
hibited will be shown in fine ivory-fin-
ished china vases, thus adding greatly
to the attractiveness of each exhibit.

The board of directors of the show
has secured many costly reels of mo-
tion pictures to be shown during the
show, treating of the cate and culture
of mums, bulbs and all kinds of grow-
ing plants.

While George Bayer was presiding,
thieves entered his home on Fulton
street and ransacked the entire house,
but did not take anything of im-
portance.

Various Notes.

J. L. Schiller has exceptional success
with Jerusalem cherries. Mr. Schiller is
an expert in this line and finds a ready
sale for novelty plants such as these.

Feniger, the Adams street florist, has
had a large electric sign installed above
his place. The sign represents a vase
about six feet in height containing a
cluster of American Beauties.

Jacob Helmer, with the Patten
Flower Shop, is rejoicing over the ar-
rival of a baby girl, while Albert Leh-
man, with Schramm Bros., is happy
over the arrival of a baby boy.

Paul Timm, of Monroe street, is cut-
tins: choice chrysanthemums.

The city has finished the erection of
a 5-house range for .Jacob Fischer, of
Central avenue. The city agreed to
build him modern greenhouses for his
old ones, which stood on the ground
wanted by the city for the new boule-
vard.

George Bayer & Son are erecting two
greenhouses, each 25x180 feet. They
will be devoted to violets. G. B. S.

The Market.

Flowers still are scarce and high-
priced, though arriving in slightly
larger quantities and greater variety.
The larger chrysanthemums are begin-
ning to make their appearance and the
quality is considerably improved. The
prices are high, though a little more
moderate than before. It is hard to
get good roses and the prices in the
wholesale market are consequently
high; nothing worth looking at by the
first-class florist can be secured at less
than 8 cents each. Valley also is high,
the best costing about 4 cents a spray.
Carnations are only a little more plen-
tiful. The better blooms bring about
4 cents each. It is probable that the
great amount of cloudy weather in the
early part of last week had a tendency
to keep the flowers from developing.
The greenhouses are filled with fine,
budded plants, and when they are fully
in bearing there will be no dearth of
carnations.

There still are some good dahlias in
the market, but they are not plentiful.
Asters have disappeared. A few sweet
violets have come in. A considerable
number of fern jars are being sold.
Cosmos is plentiful and is about the
only cheap, pretty flower. Branches of
colored oak leaves are arriving in quan-
tity from the Adirondack mountains.
There have been several October wed-
dings within the last ten days, as well
as considerable funeral work. There
were several warm days last week, but
these were followed by cold weather
that threatens such flowers as still re-
main in the open.

Club Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Essex
County Florists' Club was held last
week in the Krueger Auditorium. The
business meeting was followed by re-
freshments, to which all the members
did justice. It was decided to hold a
chrysanthemum show. Several mem-
bers were added to the committee pre-
viously appointed, and the full commit-
tee will have charge of the arrange-
ments, including the selection of the
place and date. The members added to
the committee were Henry Hornecker,
Fred Philips and Edward Jacobi.

Next year the city of Newark will
celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the founding of the city
and is planning one of the most elabo-
rate programs ever carried out by any
city in this country. The Essex Coun-
ty Florists' Club wants to have some
prominent part in this celebration, and
it was thought that a fine chrysanthe-
mum show this fall, given in a central
location and widely advertised, would
place the club in a better position to do
something worth while next year.

Various Notes.

Henry A. Strobell, at 931 Broad
street, has had four large weddings of
late, besides considerable funeral work.
The counter trade is reported as slowly
but surely increasing.

Philips Bros, have sold their old de-
livery automobile and purchased a new
one, with several novel features that
make it unusually attractive. Business
is reported as greatly improved and is
considered fair for this time of the
year.

Fred P. Wolfinger has had a large

amount of funeral work during the last
few weeks and has recently had three
large weddings. The fall work is open-
ing well and the outlook for the future
is good.

August Begerow reports business bet-
ter, but still a little slow.

The flower and plant department at
the new store of Goerke & Co., at
Broad and Cedar streets, reports busi-
ness as highly satisfactory. Last week
many of the Newark stores observed
"Shop in Newark" week. Because of
this a number of bargains were offered.
Special prices were made on potted
ferns and fern dishes.

A feature of the window display at
the store of George Penek, 637 Broad
street, last week was a cage of "waltz-
ing" mice. Their antics attracted a
large crowd continuously and served to
call attention to the beautiful display
of flowers in the window.

Improved business is reported at the
store of Chris. Penek, 173 Market street.

Strobell & Co., 895 Broad street, re-
port that business is improving, but is
spotty — active one week and quiet the
next. Good business is expected, how-
ever, during the fall and winter. Pot-
ted fern jars were a feature of the dis-
play in one of the windows last week.

The Clinton Hill Improvement Asso-
ciation set aside two Saturdays, Octo-
ber 23 and 30, for the purpose of plant-
ing bulbs in school enclosures, parks
and open grass plots, and several thou-
sands of bulbs were planted on the first
date by the citizens, with the coopera-
tion of the school children. R. B. M.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business continues to hold uj) well, in
spite of the large supply of stock. Mums
are arriving in much larger quantities,
Chrysolora holding the stage in yellow.
White is plentiful in the medium grades,
but few good pinks are to be had. Sev-
eral orders for pinks were unfilled last
week. Roses have increased in quantity
and improved in quality. They ex-
perience a good demand. Carnations are
of good quality and sell well. There is
an oversupply of greens.

The clear, cool weather of the last two
weeks showed its effect on dahlias by
bringing them out in surprising quanti-
ties and of really fine quality. The sup-
ply of dahlias, while as large as at any
time during the season, was moved at
fair prices, but there will be no more
dahlias in the market for another year,
as the heavy frost of October 23 de-
stroyed all outdoor stock, such as dahlias,
cannas, etc.

Various Notes.

F. B. Welsh is shipping some good
Amorita and Halliday mums to the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co. from his place at
Glen Morris.

In addition to excellent mums, Charles
Siegwart has been cutting good cat-
tleyas, which find a ready sale. The
specimen chrysanthemum plants which
he intends to enter in the show of No-
vember 16 to 20 are certain to find
places among the winners.

Gustav Lotze, Jr., has a new yellow
seedling mum of his own origination, of
which he may be justly proud. Some of
the blooms sent to the C. S. A. commit-
tees at Philadelphia scored ninety points
on the commercial scale and eightj'-nine
points on the exhibition scale.

Miss Altinia Van Reuth, aged 70
years, died at the home of her brother,

thies to Mr. Van Reuth.

Stevenson Bros, are sending in good
Ward roses to the Leo Niessen Co.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

The Market.

The wholesale market for cut flowers
is again active and the cash receipts for
the month will surpass any previous
year. The summer season greatly ex-
ceeded that of any other year. The
days get pretty warm yet, but the tem-
perature has been low at night and the
boilers have been fired for a month.
Never before has rain been so scarce.
Due to this fact the carnation plants
were not brought into the greenhouses
from the fields as early as usual, await-
ing a storm and cloudy weather. For the
last two months any kind of a carna-
tion could be disposed of. The best
carnations are being sold at $3 per
hundred and the seconds at $2 per hun-
dred. The rose crop is fine and there has
been no shortage as yet, except on novel-
ties, such as Ophelia and Hadley. The
price reaches as high as $10 per hundred
on these. The stems of the roses are
straight and firm, the majority of them
being classed as medium grade. The
call for roses of late has been large and
all demands have been satisfied. Mrs.
Taft is going to make a big hit this
season. Shawyer, as usual, is preferred
in pink roses. Killarney is good, but
it looks as if it would not be long be-
fore it will not be grown at all. Had-
ley and Hoosier Beauty are preferred
to Richmond. Hillingdon does not move
so well and it will be replaced by
Ophelia next year. Beauties were quite
scarce before the chrysanthemum sea-
sou began, br.t there are plenty of them
now, and not much of a demand.

All the stores are well supplied with
chrysanthemums, but the local growers
have been sliort and could not keep the
retailers in stock, which caused them
to resort to the California market. The
earlier varieties, October Frost and
Polly Rose, are gone. Chrysolora and
Pacific Supreme are heaviest on the
market at present and will soon be fol-
lowed by Bonnaffon, Timothy Eaton,
Chieftain and others.

Plants do not move well at present.
The potted chrysanthemums and Boston
and Whitman! ferns prevail.

Various Notes.

George Wray has reopened a flower
store with the Keith O'Brien people,
at the corner of State street and Broad-
way. By all indications, he will have

Utah Notes.

The Miller Floral Co., of Farmington,
says conditions were never better for a
successful year's business. Large ship-
ments of palms have been received from
Henry A. Dreer, Poehlmann Bros. Co.
and the C. C. Pollworth Co., to place
in the new greenhouse which has just
been erected for the enlargement of the
plant department.

in Park City, has gone to Rexburg,
Idaho, to open a flower shop. O. F.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The balmy autumn weather last week
had a good effect on business, aiding the
wholesalers in disposing of the largely
increased supply of flowers. A clean-
up, however, can hardly be reported, as
mums have now assumed their usual im-
portance and other cut stock has only
an ordinary demand. ,

In mums, all the early varieties are
now crowding the market. Some extra
fine blooms were noted and these
brought $3 per dozen. There are plenty
of small white chrysanthemums, which
sell well for funeral work. All varie-
ties of roses are arriving. Beauties are
all that could be desired in both quality
and quantity. Prices have gone down
somewhat, but remain firm on the extra
fancy grades. Carnations are arriving
in large quantities, with the ordinary
grades greatly exceeding the fancy.
Prices run from $5 to $20 per thousand.
Violets, too, are plentiful, .but the qual-
ity is not up to standard. Orchids are
only in fair supply and meet with a
good sale. Easter lilies are fine and
bring $12.50 per hundred. Valley holds
its regular price and the demand
equals the supply. The quality is of
the best. There was an excellent de-
mand for asparagus last week. Wild
smilax, too, came in for its share of the
demand.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold its monthly meeting
November 3 at the Eleven Mile House.
A large amount of important business
will be transacted. Secretary Joseph
Deutschmann is sending out strong
notices to the members.

The Foster Floral Co., at Seventh and
Olive streets, will move this week to
Sixth and Locust streets.

The Schoenle Floral Co. is sporting a
new auto delivery car, which Mrs.
Schoenle says was much needed in this
fast growing business. The display of
cut mums at the store last week was
quite attractive.

ket with roses of fine quality, are also

sending in an excellent cut of valley,
which commands top prices.

Among the best cut mums last week
were those consigned to the W. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co. by the H. J. Weber
& Sons Nursery Co. These were sold at
$4 per dozen. ^

Messrs. Kalisch, Boerm, Sanders and
Waldman, florists along Delmar boule-
vard, had attractive window displays
last week. They report a big improve-
ment in business since the mum season
opened.

There is to be a big display of
chrysanthemums at the Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden this week. Max Schiller
says the plants are in fine shape and
the show should have great drawing
powers.

C. E. De Wever is out of the hospital
and seems to be fully recovered. He is
supplying the trade with some extra
fine Boston ferns.

The Windier Wholesale F'oral Co.
has finished its new private oflSce in the
front part of the salesroom.

Fred H. Weber, at Maryland and
Boyle avenues, says fall business has
opened in great shape. He has a num-
ber of wedding receptions and dinner
parties booked for this week.

Walter Mott, representing Ham-
mond's Paint & Slug Shot Works,
Beacon, N. Y., spent a few days here
last week calling on the trade.

George Angermueller, who has a large
shipping trade in the southwestern part
of the state, says the orders for supplies
last week were splendid. The cut flower
department, too, was busy.

MuUanphy Florists are preparing to
move this week into new quarters at
Eighth and Locust streets. The new
store is quite attractive in appearance.

Chas. Young, of the C. Young & Sons
Co., says tulips and hyacinths have had
a big sale so far this season. The new
range of greenhouses at Olivette is com-
pleted and the houses are now being
stocked up. Walter Young, the store
manager, says he has every reason to
believe this will be a prosperous season
for his firm.

It looks as if the Kirkwood growers
are going to have a heavy cut of mums
this season, from the way the daily
supply of early varieties is coming in.
They say the late varieties are show-
ing fine prospects.

Phil. Goebel, Jr., says his roller
skates, for which he traded his Panama
hat, come in handy now. It is said Mr.
Goebel is the most graceful skater at
the Webster rink, especially for a
heavyweight.

W. J. Pilcher is cutting some of his
Mazzura viftlets, but it takes cold
weather to put fine color and stem into
this variety. Mr. Pilcher has had great
success with his roses. His Kaiserin
and Hadley have fine, long stems, and
Milady, Russell, Ward and Killarney
promise well for the season.

Adolph Brix, who has charge of the
floral arrangements at the war relief
bazaar at the Coliseum this week, says
the local retailers, growers and whole-
salers have been generous with dona-
tions of cut stock and plants for the
flower booths.

The trade extends its sympathy to
O. C. May, of Kirkwood, in the loss of
his mother, who died last week. The
funeral was held October 24 and was
attended by many of the florists.

A meeting of the officers of the St.
Louis Florists' Club will be held Oc-
tober 28 at the home of Frank Windier,

4245 Virginia avenue, to arrange for
a working program for the next club
meeting. The spring flower show com-
mittee, the transportation committee
and the carnation society committee
have been invited to meet with them, so
as to arrange final reports for the No-
vember meeting of the club.

BUFFALO, N. Y.

The Market.

The market shows a decided change.
The stock was insufficient to meet the
demand during part of last week.

Beauties are now of excellent quality
and especially good in color. Other
varieties of roses continue about the
same, all selling at good prices. Ophe-
lia sells as well at present as any.
There is a large call for Mrs. Russell.

Chrysanthemums are more abundant
than anything else. While some stock
is excellent, there also are a large num-
ber of second and third grade mums.
Pompons made their first appearance
and have found a good demand. They
are selling well. Carnations are stead-
ily increasing. They are much better
in size and length, and especially good
in color. The Ward carnation sells as
well as any. Violets are finding a good
market. Lily of the valley is rather
scarce and is selling at $6 per hundred.
Orchids, too, are selling well. Snap-
dragons are arriving in small lots.
Pansies and calendulas are quite plenti-
ful.

Various Notes.

W. J. Palmer & Son report a busy
week in funeral work for some promi-
nent families. Among the pieces were
a huge blanket consisting of 2,000 lily
of the valley and 400 White Killarney
roses, a casket cross of 100 orchids and
1,000 valley, and several wreaths of
orchids and valley.

Galley Bros., of Gardenville, will
open a flower shop on Genesee street
November 1.

David Scott, of Corfu, has planted a
large number of Golden Spur bulbs. As
yet he has not cut many carnations,
but he expects to be cutting steadily all
winter.

The Buffalo Florists' Bowling Club,
the championship trophy winners, met
October 19 at Ordell's alleys for a fare-
well game with Joseph Streit. Though
they are losing one of their best play-
ers, they are confident of holding their
own with most of the teams. The
scores made October 19 were as fol-
lows:

Geo. Economopoulos.

George Economopoulos, one of the
proprietors of the Alpha Floral Co., at
Chicago and at Des Moines, la., died of
ptomaine poisoning at 6 a. m. October
27. Mr. Economopoulos became quite
ill the afternoon of October 25 and was
taken that night to the University hos-
pital. All treatment, however, failed
and he sank rapidly. Only about 42
years of age, he was well known in the
trade.

Joseph F. Smith.

Joseph F. Smith, of Norwich, Conn.,
died at his home at 409 Washington
street, October 17, death resulting from
a complication of diseases. Mr. Smith
was born in Germany, December 6, 1838.
He came to this country when 13 years
of age and resided at Philadelphia until
1865, when he moved to Norwich and
became gardener for Joseph Ripley.
In 1871 he started in business for him-
self at Norwich, which business he con-
ducted up to the time of his death. He
is survived by his wife, four daughters
and five sons, Joseph J., of Middletown,
Conn.; Edward A., of New London,
Conn.; Frederick W., George A. and
Frank, all of Norwich.

Henry Baldinger.

Henry Baldinger, who was classed as
one of the pioneer florists of Pittsburgh,
Pa., died at his home October 21. Mr.
Baldinger was in his eighty-second
year. He was apprenticed to the trade
in Germany, where he was born, but
came to this country when a young
man. He first worked as a private gar-
dener at Baltimore, Md., and was later
associated with Peter Henderson. He
moved to Pittsburgh to enter the em-
ploy of Jeremiah Knox, who made the
.Tacinda strawberry famous. After the
death of Jeremiah Knox, Mr. Baldinger
went into business for himself at what
was then Knoxville. He conducted a
flower stand in the Pittsburgh market
up to the time of his death. Although
for many years almost an invalid, Mr.
Baldinger was able to look after several
small greenhouses. He is survived by
two daughters and two sons. Clarke.

• Cleveland, O.— The McCallum Co., of
Pittsburgh, announces that William Q.
Potter has purchased its Cleveland
branch and from October 21 will con-
duct it for himself, entirely independent
of the Pittsburgh store, with which he
has severed his connections. Mr. Potter
has made a success of the Cleveland
venture.

Trimble, O.— Clyde Haskins is back
at his post after a two months' pleas-
ure trip to San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities.

Des Moines, la. — H. E. Lozier is put-
ting $1,000 into his display window;
that is, he is spending that much for
remodeling and outfitting the window.
It is Mr. Lozier 's ambition to have the
finest window in the state for display-
ing florists' wares.

Cbattanooga, Tenn. — A bill has been
filed in the Chancery Court seeking an
equitable distribution of the interests
in the Karsten flower store, at 614
Cypress street. The complainants are
William Karsten and Mrs. J. Shell, his
sister, and the defendants are John,
Charles and Matilda Karsten. The es-
tablishment has been operated for a
number of years as a family affair,
with no definite agreement as to owner-
ship. The bill seeks to separate the
interests in the business through a re-
ceivership.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

There are plenty of good things for
florists to talk about besides the faults
and shortcomings of others in the same
line as themselves.

If it turns out that the valley pips of
1915 crop get through the blockade all
right, there are buyers who will wonder
why they took hold of Romans so strongly.

There are a lot of florists, selling from
their greenhouses and lacking a cost sys-
tem, who are charging too little. Sooner
or later they realize it, but usually it is
too late.

It is interesting to note that the Mrs.
Russell rose is making good on the Pa-
cific coast and in the south, as well as
in the middle west, reminding one of
the old saying about the prophet.

WILL COME AGAIN.

Sometimes it takes a surprising

amount of persuasion to induce a man

with stock to sell to try the logical

method of telling the trade — through

an ad in The Review — but, once tried,

it scarcely ever is necessary to urge

that man further. He comes again of

his own accord, as soon as ever he can.

Like this:

This was our first trial of advertising in The
Review and we are pleased with the result. You
will hear from ns again as soon as we have stock
to offer. — Henry E. Richardson, Woonsocket,
S. D., October 17, 1015.

There are several wholesale plants-
men, especially in the east, who could
profit by the Woonsocket florist's expe-
rience.

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.

Hack, William, Indianapolis, Ind.
Bezdek, W., Cedar Rapids, la.

TWO YEARS.
Jones, Wm., South Hamilton, Mass.
Gove the Florist, Burllugton, Vt.
Miller, John F., McHenry, III.
Flanders, Pearl, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Llppold, F. C, Reading, Pa.
Schwab, H., Zanesvilie, O.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

PHOTOGRAPHS WANTED.

The Review wishes to receive several
good, sharp photographs of Halloween
window decorations. To be useful, the
reflection in the glass must be avoided
by night photography or other device,
so that the details of the decoration
will be apparent. For such photographs
as meet its requirements The Review
will defray the cost of the florist. If
you have a good special Halloween
window, have it photographed tonight.

WHY BUSINESS IS (H)OD.

The government crop reports show
the 1915 harvests to be the largest ever
— and we all know that good crops
mean good business for florists of the
middle west.

Now comes another department of the
government with a report of exports,
mostly manufactures — and we all know
brisk business for eastern manufactur-
ing towns means good business for flo-
rists there.

According to the U. S. Department
of Commerce, ' ' exports during the week
ending October 16 amounted to the as-
tonishing total of $73,694,600. This is
the highest record established for any
week since the outbreak of war in
Europe. It exceeded by more than
$5,945,000 the exports for the week end-
ing October 2, which was the previous
high record. The report shows that the
exports since the beginning of October
have been extremely large, promising
to break the monthly record for the
war period thus far.

"The imports during the week
amounted to $29,782,000, the smallest
recorded since the week ending Septem-
ber 11. As a resuk, the balance in our
favor amounted to $43,912,500.

WHERE'S THE PUNCH?

In half a dozen cities, from Boston
to Denver, those who call themselves
publicity specialists now are urging the
trade to buy and distribute stock ad-
vertising literature of more or less pre-
tension— calendars, mailing cards, book-
lets, and what not; there is as great a
variety as there are manufacturers of
the material. Some of the work is ex-
tremely flne when judged by artistic
standards and prices are held fairly
reasonable by printing in quantity and
selling to a considerable number of flo-
rists, one in a town, merely striking in
the name and address of the buyer in
a space left for that purpose. Going on
the theory, often recommended to retail

florists, that any advertising is better
than no advertising, all this artistic
stock literature is good, some of it ex-
tremely attractive, and sure to get a
look. But the question that should be
asked of himself by every intending
buyer is, "What are the selling quali-
ties, especially the selling qualities for
met" The fact is, most of this pretty
stock printing has no direct sales power
and those who expect direct returns are
disappointed. If the florist thoroughly
understands that he is paying a cer-
tain sum for general publicity, all well
and good; he then can judge his pur-
chase on that basis. If it does not cost
too much, it is well worth doing.

NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER.
1^^^^ Weekly weather forecast, is-

FHlli ^"®<^ ^y *^® ^- ®' Weather
UlDj Bureau, Washington, D. C, for.
l^HH the week beginning Wednes-
' day, October 27, 1915:

1^^ For the Region of the Great

^^^^^ 'Lakes — Partly cloudy October
^^^^ 27 and 28 will be followed by
^^^ rain October 29 or 30, and
r probably by fair weather at

the end of the week. It will be warmer
October 28 and 29 and somewhat cooler
during the second half of the week.

For the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Plains States — There will be rain Octo-
ber 28 or 29 in the northwest, extend-
ing October 29 and 30 into the central
plains states and the upper Mississippi
valley, probably followed again by fair
weather October 31. Temperatures will
rise early in the week and should again
fall October 29 and 30, but no unusu-
ally low temperatures are expected.

For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee —
Fair weather for about three days will
be followed by unsettled weather with
rain October 30 or 31 and again by fair
weather November 1 and 2. It will be
somewhat cooler October 27, followed by
rising temperature October 28 and 29,
and again by falling temperature
toward the end of. the week.

For South Atlantic and East Gulf
States — With the exception of local
showers October 27, generally fair
weather will prevail during the week,
with seasonable temperatures.

For the West Gulf States — Generally
fair weather, with seasonable tempera-
ture, is indicated during the week.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The Chicago market is in a decidedly
erratic condition. The end of last week
saw a rather short market, with good
demand. The opening of this week re-
vealed an easier supply and an appre-
ciable falling off in demand. This varia-
tion in the demand, however, was only
transitory. The quality of the stock
received is, on the whole, quite satis-
factory. As to the volume of the com-
ing week's business, there is no uneasi-
ness, for a large number of advance
orders for All Saints' day have already
been booked.

Although nothing is positively short,
there is no surplus of roses. There are
enough of them, however, to fill orders
without substitution. Russell, as a mat-
ter of course, leads, with the other
newer roses next in request. Beauties
are still reveling in excellent quality
and urgent demand.

Good carnations are much more plen-
tiful than they were last week, but they
are not more than sufficient to fill
orders. Stems are a good length and
color is satisfactory. A few hundred
outdoor asters got into the market the
first of this week and caused no little
comment, but this is unquestionably the
last measure of their swan song. Daisies
are scarce enough to be picked up at
once, and sweet peas are becoming a
noticeable factor. There is a small
quantity of cut cyclamen and mig-
nonette on the market, but as yet no
great demand for these flowers has
been manifested. Pansies also have
made their appearance. Violets, both
double and single, are becoming more
plentiful and already the street venders
have them.

Easter lilies and rubrums continue to
be good property. The supply of valley
is again balancing demand.

Chrysanthemums are plentiful and
the range of choice is sufficiently large
to permit satisfying the most varied
tastes. Quality is much better than
heretofore, as the mid-season sorts are
in. Pompons are abundant in every
color and meet with a ready sale.

Greens continue to move, but not hur-
riedly.

A Gladiolus Deal.

A deal of more than usual interest
was consummated last week, when C. S.
Clausen and A. B. Bonvallet acquired
the entire stock of Gladiolus Myrtle
and also the remaining stock of Gladi-
olus Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr., in the
hands of A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind.
The variety Myrtle has been on this
market as a cut flower for two or three
years, but has not been disseminated.
Pendleton is in the hands of several
growers, in limited quantities. A num-
ber of offers have been made Mr. Kun-
derd for Myrtle, but none he would ac-
cept until the present. No statement is
forthcoming as to the number of bulbs
secured, or the price, but it is known
that eight barrels of bulbs were at once
shipped the purchasers at Wichert, HI.,
and arrived there with a declared valua-
tion of $2,500, much to the excitement

Boxwood

Quality is of great consequence in Boxwood
as well as flowers.

KENNICOTT'S Quality Cut of Boxwood is
possibly even better known in the Trade
than their far-famed flowers.

Now is the time to place Boxwood orders.

cut flowers and bulbs, the former to be
distributed by the E. C. Amling Co. and
the latter by A. Henderson & Co.

October Biisiness.

With few exceptions October has been
an excellent month for the wholesal-
ers, most of whom were able to figure
up, October 23, that they had done
more business than in the whole of
October last year, which was the month
in which this market felt the worst ef-
fects of the unsettlement that followed
the outbreak of the war. In most cases
October sales are expected not only to

show a big increase over last year, but
to compare favorably with the best
previous October, making this the best
October on record. But it has been a
poor month for those who have come
to rely on purchasing a considerable
part of the stock used to fill shipping
orders.

Budlong to Move.

The wholesale cut flower house of
J. A. Budlong concluded, October 26,
negotiations for space in the new
Le Moyne building. The new location,
which is secured by an advantageous
lease, expiring April 30, 1921, is an L-
shaped space extending from the Wa-
bash avenue front to the Lake street

side of the building, with entrances
on both streets. Philip C. Schupp,
manager, says possession will be taken
about November 8, with a full comple-
ment of new fixtures and every up-to-
the-minute appliance. The new address
will be the southwest corner of Wabash
and Lake. The building may now be
considered a wholesale flower center.
Other tenants are the A. L. Bandali
Co., E. C. Amling Co., Bassett & Wash-
burn and the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association.

Grading has begun for a large addi-
tion to the glass of the A. F. Amling
Co., Maywood. Otto H. Amling states
that the range under contemplation is
about 200,000 feet of glass, to be ready
for early planting in 1916, but that de-
tails are not yet worked out.

October 22 the store located at 23
South Crawford avenue and known as
Clark's Flower Shop became the prop-
erty of C. L. Achembach. Mr. Achem-
bach was for several years connected
with the Flower Shop, Kacine, Wis. He
will conduct the business under the
style of the Crawford Flower Shop, as
it is located in the Crawford theater
building. He will be assisted by his
brother, H. E. Achembach.

By way of diversifying his occupa-
tion, H. C. Wullbrandt, 5315 West Madi-

23. The committee consists of N. J.

A most attractive Halloween window
has been arranged by the Atlas Floral
Co., in which a rail fence, cornfield, au-
tumn leaves and most artfully disposed
jack-o'-lanterns figure. The lighting
of the lanterns is, of course, red and
by a continual flashing produces a most
weird effect.

sine has been added to Peter Reinberg's
string of automobiles. Counting the
truck that hauls the stock in from the
greenhouses, he now has four cars.

Setting the sidewalk skylights level
with the walks has made a great im-
provement in downtown Chicago, one
of the flower stores especially benefited
being that of John Mangel. He always
has a good display and pedestrians now
may stop before his window without
blocking traffic or lunng compelled to-
mount steps to get out of the way.

The Mrs. Moorfield Storey and Champ
Weiland roses were use<l in making up
corsages to feature in certain pictures
to be used by the publicity committee
of the fall flower show in the daily and
Sunday papers. John Risch, of Weiland
& Risch, in speaking of future rose
growing, expressed the opinion that the
grower who adheres strictly to Kil-
larney and its ilk will find himself left
behind. The Russell and the other
newer varieties now have the demand.
And if one is to make the most possi-

ble out of rose growing he must grow
at least a fair proportion of those varie-
ties that are new and in special de-
mand.

After an illness of several weeks and
a sojourn in the German hospital on
the north side, George Perdikas is again
able to get down to his Wabash avenue
store.

The second week of this month Zech
& Mann did as much business as they
did during the first two weeks of Oc-
tober a year ago, according to Allie
Zech, who has a way of sawing wood
and saying little.

November 1 will see the removal of
the Venetian Flower Shop, 15 East
Washington street, from the basement
to the main floor.

Work on the five new houses of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove,
is being rushed with all speed to make
room for the ever-growing plant de-
partment, for in addition to the stock
already crowding its allotment of space,
an importation of 6,000 azaleas from

Belgium has arrived. The crotons that
are to be used for exhibition purposes
at the flower show are fine.

The blackboard bulletins in the sales-
room of Kyle & Foerster are not only
instructive but ornamental of late as
the result of an application of colored-
chalks and a truly artistic hand.

After closing their country home at
The Grove, northwest of Chicago, the
Kennicott family, Mrs. Flint Kennicott,
her daughter and H. B. Kennicott, of
Kennicott Bros. Co., are living at 4021
Calumet avenue. January 1 Mrs. Ken-
nicott and her daughter will go to their
Florida home.

If the shipping business of the John
Kruchten Co. continues growing at the
present rate, according to L. C. Sherer,
it -will be under the necessity of seek-
ing larger quarters. Another man was
added to its shipping force this week.

The cool summer is given credit by
Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, for
the unusually good quality of the
Beauties now on the market. The cuts

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Business is stead'ly improving from
day to day and, taking this condition
as a criterion, it seems that the trade
will have a banner season. The retail-
ers are busy, and it is not all funeral
work, either. The wholesalers' greatest
trouble is to take care of orders satis-
factorily, but as the growers promise an
increase in the quantity of stock soon,
this state of affairs will be over in a
short time.

Roses may be somewhat more plenti-
ful^ but there has been little increase in
the total supply. There seem to be
plenty of long stems, but as the bulk of
the orders are for short stock, quite a
little trouble is experienced in supply-
ing the trade with their requirements.
The quality is good, and the receipts are
cleaning up quickly each day. Carna-
tions are quite a bit more plentiful; in
fact, the supply has increased to such
an extent that all orders can be taken
care of. There is no surplus, however.
Although prices have dropped a little,
the stock still moves at good figures.
The fine weather of the last few days
has been largely responsible for the in-
creased cut and has kept the quality up
to standard. Violets are coming in
more heavily every day and their quality
is steadily improving. They are now a
factor on the market, although the sup-
ply still is light. There are some ex-
ceptionally fine orchids on the market
each day. They are moving well.

The mum supply shows little Tjhange.
The quality of the mums is good and
they are moving nicely. The late varie-
ties are not in as yet, and there may be
a slight break between the early and
late crops on this item. Valley has
become more plentiful and is in fine
shape. This makes it somewhat easier
to take care of the heavy demand for
this stock. Lilies are about equal to
the demand, and the prices on them are
kept down to some extent on account of
the large quantity of mums.

Various Notes.

October 22 F. H. Holton made a trip
to Bacine and Kenosha in his new car.
He was accompanied by G. Pohl, W. R.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market eased percepti-
bly during the week ending October 27.
There was less activity in the shops,
with a larger quantity of flowers to
draw from. Values fell in all the staple
varieties, without exception. The frost
of October 23 and 24 destroyed the
dahlias beyond hope of recovery, the
wholesalers assert. They believe that
the dahlias received October 27 have
closed the season for that flower. A
few were received on that day, but not
in sufficient quantities to amount to any-
thing. Chrysanthemums are in larger
supply. Alice Salomon, Early Snow, and
a few Early Frost are the best whites;
Chrysolora, Bobert Halliday and belated
Golden Glow are the best yellows;
Pacific Supreme is the best pink. Choice
stock has receded to from 50 cents to $1
per dozen. There are more flowers of
ordinary grade offered than during the
last fortnight. Pompons from outdoors
have arrived in quantity, while a few
of the fine indoor-grown blooms are now
available. Carnations have suffered
from three causes — less business, larger
receipts and competition with the
dahlia. The net result is a decidedly
lower price on all grades. Boses, too,
have fallen, except in the case of fancy
stock and novelties. These are the sorts
for the coming-out teas, where the best
of everything is wanted. Both valley
and Easter lilies are in demand at lower
prices. Asparagus plumosus suffers from
the competition with autumn foliage,
which is now at its height. Double
violets, both the bright blue Marie
Louise and the paler Lady Campbell,
have arrived. Snapdragon is coming in
more freely, although it is hardly a
staple flower as yet.

week worked hard to further the
interests of the show. Those present
were Chairman George Asmus, of Chi-
cago; Adolph Farenwald, of Boslyn,
Pa.; "William F. Gude, of Washington,
D. C; William F. Kasting, of Buffalo,
N, Y.; Thomas Boland, of Nahant,
Mass.; Patrick Welch, of Boston, and
Secretary John Young, of New York.
They were met by the chiefs of the local
committees and by influential members
of the trade in this city in several meet-
ings. The result was decided progress
in the preliminary arrangements for the
great event. The most important of
these, or, at least, the matter that gave
most anxiety to all, was the advertising.

For no matter how splendidly a show is
staged, it cannot be considered success-
ful unless it is well attended. W. F.
Therkildson, who is advertising man-
ager for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., is chair-
man of the committee on publicity. Mr.
Therkildson has taken hold of his task
with vigor and, with his committee, has
mapped out a plan of action that prom-
ises well. So much pleased was the na-
tional committee with Mr. Therkildson 's
idea that it increased the advertising
appropriation from $1,500 to $5,000, in
order that nothing might be wanting to
thoroughly advertise the show. Posters
of great size are to appear in favored
places, both in this city and elsewhere.

250,000 Red Cross stamps of pleasing
design and moderate cost will be dis-
tributed among those interested, to be
used on their stationery, while news-
paper notices on any subject pertaining

plans made to attract visitors to the
show.

Next in point of interest is the solu-
tion of the heating problem of Conven-
tion hall, which, as is well known, is a
vast unheated building. Mr. Farenwald
has virtually closed a contract with F.
C. Bower, the vacuum expert, to heat
the hall for a moderate sum. The heat-
ing plant is to belong to Mr. Bower,
who simply agrees to erect and rent it
for the time required, thus giving him

economic value of his system of heat-
ing by vacuum valves. The reduction
made by the city authorities in the
rental of Convention hall, on the repre-
sentation that the show would be of
benefit to the city, makes it possible to
heat the building, remove and after-
wards replace the chairs and do all other
necessary work, at a moderate price.
In fact, the total cost is estimated not
to exceed $3,000, which is less than one-
third of the rent paid for the Grand
Central Palace at New York, where the
last show was held. Another matter of
special interest is the opening - of an
office, probably in the Widener Arcade

building, where the show committee will
have its headquarters, say from Novem-
ber to May. Here all necessary data
pertaining to the show will be collected
and all necessary letters will be sent
out. This will relieve the members of
the committees from the necessity of
doing show work in their offices and
will enable them to make their show
work more efficient.

briefly last week, they are of such im-
portance as to demand fuller comment.
With the knowledge that the commit-
tees are doing their level best, each one

The Climax Cut Hower Boxes

"A BOX FOR EVERY FLOWER"

full telescope shipping box. Holiday boxes in their season.

need a special size we will make it promptly and not charge you an exorbitant
price.

"WHKN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE TNBM"

Florist boxes are a specialty with us. We know what the florist needs and
how to make the box to meet his requirements. When it comes to Quality, Ar-
tistic Printing, Embossing and Quick Service, we are headquarters and on the job every minute. If you have never used a

plentiful. Eeceipts of carnations and
Easter lilies are heavy. Lily of the val-
ley experiences a fair market. Orchids
are moving rather slowly. Other oflFer-
ings include rubrums, dahlias, cosmos
and single violets. The supply of greens
is large enough to take care of all pres-
ent needs.

Various Notes.

Hardesty & Co. have had splendid
window displays of choice chrysanthe-
mums.

C. E. Critchell has enjoyed a good
call for bronze galax.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been finding an excellent market for
pompons.

Among the trade visitors last week
were A. Miller, of Chicago; George
Lampert, of the Lampert Floral Co.,

and Frank Farney, representing the M.
Rice Co., Philadelphia. C. H. H.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Market conditions have improved con-
siderably, although there still is a short-^
age of stock. Galax and magnolia'
leaves are used to help fill the orders
when cut flowers are low. It is ex-
pected that there will be plenty of
stock of all kinds next week, as mums
will then be in big supply. Boses are
scarce and high in price. Beauties are
of excellent quality and the supply
equals the demand. Carnations are im--
proving in quality. Chrysanthemums
are more plentiful and some excellent
stock can be seen on the market. The
midseason varieties, such as Chieftain,
Wm. Turner and others, have arrived.
Easter lilies and valley always have a
steady demand.

Various Notes.

Arthur Newell had a good run on fu-
neral work last wqek. He reports busi-
ness good in all lines, especially for hos-
pitals.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is cut-
ting a large quantity of carnations and
chrysanthemums. At the retail store
it is said basket work is picking up at
a lively gait.

The Market.

Seasonable weather conditions re-
sulted in a marked improvement in busi-
ness last week, chrysanthemums being
easily the leaders. Whites have the call
by large proportions, with the pinks and
yellows about equal seconds. Carna-
tions are a trifle more plentiful and
better, while violets have appeared on
the scene, so that there is a considera-
ble easement in the market over preced-
ing weeks.

Island Horticultural Society was held

tendance. Several new members were

TMs department for the carda of
Leading Retail Florists — those flo-
rists who have the facilities for filling
the orders sent them by other florists —
has made possible the recent rapid de-
velopment of this branch of the busi-
ness, a branch of the trade now estab-
lished for all time and so helpful that
its volume will keep on Increasing for
many years.

Are you sending and receiving your
share of these orders? You can send
your share (and make 20 per cent profit
without effort) if you leti
your customers know you I
can perform this service!
for them. To receive your I
■hare— well. The Review's department
for Retailers' cards remains the one
way of getting prompt action on the
order in hand.

To be represented costs only 70 cents
per week on a yearly order. This la
for one-inch space. Other spaces In
proportion.

Why not send your order today — ^now
— before you forget it?

The Market.

More cut flowers are arriving than a
week ago, the mild season bringing
along chrysanthemums in larger num-
bers. "While sales have to be made at
recessions in price, they appear satis-
factory when compared with this time
a year ago. Chrysanthemums are now
the leaders and clean up tolerably well.
Such varieties as Bamapo, Halliday,
Unaka, G. S. Kalb, Pacific Supreme,
Polly Rose, Glory of Pacific and Chryso-
lora are mostly in evidence. Some
Bonnaffon and Ivory are also at hand.
The first named sells as well as ever.
Pompons, especially yellow and bronze
shades, sell well. Roses are now off
crop with many growers. They are not
selling as satisfactorily as a week ago,
but clean up nicely. American Beauties
go more slowly, but the demand for
hybrid teas is quite good, the long-
stemmed stock suffering most from the
abundance of chrysanthemums. Stan-
ley, Mock, Miller and Francis Scott Key
all come good in quality and sell well,
in addition to Hadley, Russell, Sun-
burst, Ophelia and Ward. "White Kil-
larney is fine and has sold better than
Killarney. Some good Maryland is
seen. This rose does well with some
growers.

Carnations steadily improve in qual-

somewhat lower prices, but probably
will come into their own a little later.
Single violets are more abundant and
lower in price. Valley continues to
sell well. Asters and gladioli are over
-for the season, but a few dahlias still
arrive. Lilies move well; some short-
stemmed speciosums go slowly, how-
ever. Small lots of callas and some
Bouvardia Humboldtii are seen. Pansies
are plentiful, most of the flowers being
outdoor grown. Pink snapdragon cleans
up better than other colors. Sweet peas
are not yet numerous. Trade in green
stock has been quite good.

Flower Exchange Banciuet.

The annual banquet of the Boston

vases of Alice, Pink Sensation, Morn-
ing Glow, Miss Theo and other carna-
tions, with sweet peas, snapdragons
and chrysanthemums, made the best
floral display I have seen at any of
these dinners. The banquet itself was
a royal one, decidedly the best ever.

A business session followed the ban-
quet. W. C. Stickel presided in his
usual happy and inimitable style. The
treasurer's report showed receipts of
$19,196.65, and a cash balance of
$3,393.92, after paying a fifteen per cent
dividend to stockholders. W. C. Stickel,
S. J. Goddard, L. W. Mann, A. Chris-
tensen, George Cartwight, A. S. Parker,
C. A. Paine, A. A. Pembroke and H. H.
Bartsch were elected as the board of
directors for the ensuing year. Mr.
Bartsch took the place of Eber Holmes,
whose retirement was received with re-
gret, a vote of thanks being given him
for his services.

The postprandial exercises were va-
ried and interesting. President Farqu-
har spoke for the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society and appealed for
stronger commercial support for that
body. He spoke of the work done and
being planned and was given a rous-
ing reception. Practically all succeed-
ing speakers pledged him their support.
H. H. Bartsch responded in his usual
happy way for the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club, and William H. Elliott for
the Boston Cooperative Flower Market.
"William J. Stewart and W. N. Craig
spoke for the press. For the bachelors,
A. Leuthy, and for the "best looking
salesman in the wholesale markets,"
W. H. Carr, responded. James L.
Miller, as a newly married man, said
the best advice he could give the two
preceding speakers was to go and do
likewise. Henry M. Robinson, Jr., for
the wholesale commission men, quite
electrified his hearers by the ease and
rapidity with which he poured out his
peroration. Other speakers included
Peter PHsher, "William Nicholson, "Wil-
liam Capstick, M. A. Fatten, A. S.
Parker, A. Christensen, J. T. Butter-
worth, John "Walsh, "W. J. Thurston and
H. L. Cameron.

A pleasing feature of the evening
was a vote taken on woman's suffrage,
which one speaker advocated. Florists
are evidently in favor of the movement,
as the vote stood fifty-seven for, twen-
ty-seven against and twenty-three neu-
tral. A first-class orchestra furnished
excellent music, popular songs being
sung with a zest. The singing of
"America" closed a most delightful
evening's entertainment, where a thor-
oughly get-together feeling was mani-
fested, full of optimism, and one which
will linger as a pleasant memory with
all who were privileged to attend.

Boston County Fair.

There was a fine display of fruits and
vegetables at the county fair, which
opened at Mechanics building October
23, but cut flowers and plants were only
shown in moderate numbers, largely
owing to the appi'oach of the fall show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety. In cut roses W. H. Elliott took
first for Ophelia, Hadley and Sunburst;
also for a display of polyantha varie-
ties. James Philbrick was first for
White Killarney. There was a better
show of carnations. For fifty white H.
N. Eaton led with Matchless and James
Wheeler was second with the same
variety. N. F. Comley was first for
scarlet with Beacon. For light pink
James Wheeler won with fine Alice;
N. F. Comley was second vdth Mrs.
Ward. For variegated, James Wheeler 's
vase of Benora was in the lead. For 100
carnations Patten & Co. led with a fine
assortment^ including Matchless, Alice,
Peerless Pink, Pink Sensation, Beacon,
Fink Delight, White Wonder and a light
pink seedling; A. Roper, second. Ed-
ward Winkler's new Morning Glow re-
ceived a certificate of superior merit
as a commereial variety.

chrysanthemums with Polly Rose, first
for pink with Pacific Supreme and for
yellow with Chrysolora. He also took
first for general display and pompons.
W. H. Elliott had the best group of
chrysanthemum plants. W. "W. Edgar
Co. captured first for group of flowering
and foliage plants, and Mrs. J. F. Flood
was second. N. F. Comley was first for
display of violets, and John McFarland
for 100 valley. R. A. Washington had
the best pansies, and E. F. Dwyer &
Son showed a splendid dahlia collection,
which captured first prize.

The Breck-Robinson Co. had an ex-
tensive collection of well-grown ever-
greens, which captured both first and
second prizes. For dinner table decora-
tion H. R. Comley was first with a
dainty arrangement of valley and yel-
low oncidiums with adiantum and
Cyrtomium Mandaianum; second, "Wax

pon chrysanthemums with croton leaves;

Penn's FusMng Frogressiveness.

There have been rumors for some
time of Penn opening a new store on
Boston's busiest street. The new loca-
tion selected is 124 Tremont street,
where Thomas F. Galvin was located so
many years. It is practically in the
center of the Hub and the best possible
stand for a fiower store. "Work on the
internal arrangements is already pro-
gressing and it is hoped that the new
store, which is likely to be the finest in
Boston, will open for business about
November 15. The word Penn is al-
most a household one in New England,
and it is doubtful if there is today any
more widely known florists' firm in
America, or, for that matter, in the
world. The way the business of these
two indefatigable, courteous, wide-
awake and progressive florists has
grown reads almost like a fairy
romance. The Penns are firm believers
in publicity and advertise more heav-
ily than any other florists in America.
Their new store will undoubtedly im-
mensely increase their already big busi-

able to do.

Various Notes.

The nursery employees of E. & J.
Farquhar & Co., at Dedham, Mass., held
their first social and dance October 22.
The stage of Memorial hall was beauti-
fully decorated with foliage and flow-
ering plants and there was an attend-
ance of 400. So successful was the oc-
casion that it is now planned to make
it an annual affair. The growth of the
Farquhar firm, especially at the nurs-
ery end of the business, has been phe-
nomenal. They now have 200 acres of
nursery stock and a big block of green-
houses, which are being constantly add-
ed to to keep pace with the demand.
The officers of the association are:
President, Robert Laurie; treasurer,
Patrick Fordham; secretary, J. Tra-
quair. The executive committee, in ad-
dition to the foregoing, consists of
W. E. Gordon, R. G. Walsh, Jr., J.
Scanlan, J. Cody and H. Steele.

The Budlong Rose Co. is getting
large daily shipments of chrysanthe-
mums. Early Snow and Chryaolora
have been excellent. Russell is coming
fine; so is Ward, with 18-inch to 30-inch
stems. Francis Scott Key sells well.

The annual autumn show of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
which opens November 4, promises to
be an unusually good one. Growers
from a distance, who may be unable
to attend, should send exhibits prepaid
addressed to W. P. Rich, Horticultural
hall, Boston, and they will be promptly
cared for. The word chrysanthemum is
no longer applied to this show, as it is
so much less exclusively a mum show
than formerly, orchids and many other
flowers being more featured each year.
Growers of novelties should send their
exhibits here, as the Boston shows al-

ways attract a large attendance of
flower lovers.

Littlefield & Wyman are having ex-
cellent success with their new seedling
carnation, Miss Theo, for which they
are already getting good orders. They
have two other fine pink seedlings. One
carries a larger flower than Enchant-
ress and is a little deeper in color. It
scored eighty-seven points at Buffalo.
Other varieties grown are Champion,
Benora, Beacon, Matchless, White Won-
der and Fenn. They report that their
nursery business this fall is heavier
than ever before.

Peirce Bros., of Waltham, have re-
cently installed a Johns-Manville elec-
trical cooling machine for a large stor-
age room, which works satisfactorily.
They now grow roses almost exclusively
and will not grow any lilies as hereto-
fore. Hadley, Killarney, Ophelia, Sun-
burst and Prince d'Arenberg are their
leaders.

A. Leuthy has just received his first
shipment or azaleas from Belgium, 146
cases, in good shape. He reports fall
business as decidedly better than a year
ago.

H. L. Cameron, of North Cambridge,
is our largest and most successful
grower of bedding geraniums. Last
year he sold 100,000 plants, although he
advanced the price $1 per hundred at
wholesale. He has 150,000 cuttings
rooted for next season, all of which he
feels sure will be sold without any
trouble.

William H. Elliott says returns from
sales of roses show a big improvement
over a year ago. Extra fine with him
now are Miller, Ward, Sunburst, Hadley
and Ophelia. He is marketing large
numbers of well-flowered, bushy chrys-
anthemums.

William B. Nicholson had some superb
Bamapo chrysanthemums October 23,
which sold at $6 per dozen. He has just i

finished a grand lot of Chrysolora. There
is a great demand for pompons. All his
carnations are doing finely, Mrs. Ward,
Matchless and Pink Delight being es-
pecially good.

E. T. McGorum, of Natick, grows a
house of Ivory chrysanthemum which
will be in season about November 10.
He finds this a paying sort; also, the
old Mrs. Henry Robinson and the crim-
son, Harvard. In roses he is growing
Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward, Hadley, Kil-
larney and White Killarney.

John W. Foote, of Reading, is prac-
tically our only successful grower of
Bouvardia Humboldtii. He is getting
a fine crop on long stems. This is one
of the finest flowers we have for wed-
ding bouquets. Mr. Foote 's carnations
are coming into good crop, particularly
Pink Delight, White "Wonder and
Benora.

Robert Montgomery is this season
growing a wider variety of roses than
ever before and they never looked bet-
ter. Hoosier Beauty is doing well; so
are Russell, Sunburst, Hadley and
Ophelia.

C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is
sending in a fine lot of mums. At pres-
ent his leading sorts are Pacific Su-
preme, Halliday, Tint of Gold and Fairy
Queen.

Recent visitors have included F. G.

installing a Lord & Burnham boiler.
He has a fine batch of Begonia Qloire
de Chatelaine.

Paul F. Brigham, of Westboro, is cut-
ting Chrysolora mums of excellent qual-
ity. Carnations are his specialty. Those
doing particularly v/ell novp are Ward,
Matchless, Pink Delight and Benora.

Galvin, at his Park street store this
week, has an attractive window of
specimen croton^. Another window is
devoted entirely to specimen mums,
while in still another an excellent or-
chid display is to be seen.

Thomas Capers' fine new carnation
house, built to replace one blown down
last summer, is producing superior flow-
ers. Alice blooms abundantly and
early, with somewhat shorter stems
than Pink Delight. Other favorites
with him are Pink Delight, White En-
chantress and Beacon.

Henry E. Comley, on Park street,
uses sprays of Celastrus scandens, vrith
its bright-colored fruit, in his windows
to good advantage. I also noted here
some fine nerines, bouvardias and
strelitzias.

J. T. Butterworth, of South Fram-
ingham, has been fifty years in the busi-
ness this week. Many readers would
be surprised to learn that Tom's birth-
days have passed the half century
mark, although he already sees in his
2-year-oId grandson signs of an expert
orchid grower.

Charles Eapp, of Melrose Highlands,
is getting a fine lot of Catlleya labiata.
He has finished cutting Oncidium
Rogersii, but has a grand lot of Cat-
tleya Trianae in sheath.

Harry Quint spent a six weeks' va-
cation recently in Cuba and is enthusi-
astic over the island 's possibilities. He
says that fall business is now coming
along nicely.

A. E, E. Koch, of Nobscot, who spe-
cializes in pink snapdragons and yellow
marguerites, is already getting a good
cut of each. His carnations are look-
ing well.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
is cutting Polly Rose and Pacific mums.
He has also started on Bonnaffon, which
is his leader. His poinsettias look well.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. had a
large wedding order last week at the
Hotel Beaconsfield for Miss Gray. Mr.
Rosenthal reports steadily improving
business. I am glad to report Mrs. Wil-
liam Rosenthal is back at her place as
bookkeeper, after a long illness from
typhoid fever.

Everett E. Cummings, of Wobum, has
a fine house of grandiflora sweet peas
in bloom. Another house of new
Spencers will be in good crop before
Thanksgiving.

E. H. Borowski, of Roslindale, has re-
ceived his first shipment of azaleas and
another is due in a few days. He has,
as usual, a fine lot of Cincinnati be-
gonias and cyclamens for Thanksgiving
and Christmas trade. W. N. C.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.

The Market.

During the last two or three weeks
trade has been unusually brisk, every-
one having all he could conveniently
care for. Roses and carnations have
been rather scarce and mums have
hardly been equal to the demand. This
was due partly to the numerous deco-
rations for the marriage of Governor
Dunne's daughter and the many social
functions given in her honor.

Various Notes.

The force at the A. C, Brown store
was extremely busy last week. Mr.
Brown had the decorations for the
church and the executive mansion for
the Dunne-Corboy wedding. He also

The gladiolus bulbs are lifting in fine
flhape.

The German flower seeds still come to
hand in regular succession of parcels
within the weight limit of the mails.
The field and garden seeds are another
matter.

Seedsmen who are interested in gladi-
olus bulbs will find a note in the Chicago
news letter in this issue concerning the
sale of the stock of bulbs of the Kun-
4erd variety, Myrtle.

The trade looks forward to an unusu-
ally strong demand for onion seed this
season, as a result of what is expected
to be an inevitable shortage of onion
bulbs in the produce markets in late win-
ter.

Again seedsmen's assistants are in re-
quest. There are plenty of men without
training, but the approach of another
season brings out the dearth of employees
capable of going ahead without constant
supervision.

The new Chicago plant of the Albert
Dickinson Co., nearing completion, in-
volves an estimated total investment of
13,000,000 to $3,500,000, and will give
employment to about 650 men. The
•holdings of the company now cover
more than seventy acres.

It is interesting to note that the im-
ports of Dutch bulbs through the port of
New York to October 18 were 32,591
^sases, against 31,396 cases to the same
date last year. The difference in the
situation is vastly greater, however. Last
year there was great outcry about demor-
alizing the market and the dumping of
surpluses, while this season bulbs are
selling fully as well as ever before and
many varieties are short of the demand.

SWEET COBN IN OHIO.

Not in our thirty-five years' ex-
perience have we seen so wet and cold
4 summer and fall as we have had here
in Ohio in 1915. The result is our crops
■of corn are all extremely late; eighty-
five to ninety per cent got ripe; the
balance of the crop was killed by frost.
The crop therefore is three to four
weeks late, which makes it all green at
this writing, October 25. Just now we
are having good drying weather, and if
it will continue throughout November
and hard freezes hold off we shall have
fair to good seed corn crops to ship to
our customers. The fields of topped
sweet corn have just started to dry a
little. Therefore one can judge how late
the crop is. One year ago today we had
7,000 bushels of seed corn in our ware-
houses ready to ship. Today we have
not 100 bushels of the new crop that is
dry. We shall start using heat to help
dry it at once. C. S. Clark & Son.

THE GLADIOLUS SITUATION.

There is an old saying to the effect
that "it is a long lane that has no
turn, ' ' and apparently the turn has been
reached on the way the gladiolus bulb

PRICE IS A CHANCE
ACQUAINTANCE

Quality is a friend you will re-
member forever. The quality of
Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs is
always higher than the price.
Not only that— the quality is
higher than that of any other
brand. If you buy Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum you know you
are gettmg the best to be had in
hly bulbs. In all transactions
of every kind and nature, both
sides must profit. And when
you buy Horseshoe Brand Gigan-
teum you profit because of the
high standard quahty capable of
producing many flowers, and we
profit chiefly by reason of the
large quantity we are able to
sell. You can buy a case of 300
Giganteum bulbs 7 to 9 for
$15.00 that will bring you very
profitable returns if you handle
them right. You could not buy
that case for $20.00 if it was
not for the large volume of busi-
ness we do. The prices for other
sizes of Horseshoe Brand Gigan-
teum are as follows :

The Florists' Review

OCTOBBB 28, 1916.

industry has been traveling these sev-
eral years. It seems to have come, in
the natural order of things, as the re-
sult of the mistaken policy that has
been followed here, but more especially
in Holland. Prices, long on the down-
ward course, are going up.

Since Holland growers went in heav-
ily for gladiolus growing they have been
forcing prices lower and lower, over-
producing and cutting prices to get
orders. It made it difficult for Ameri-
can growers to make any money, but at
length the Hollanders cut to the point
where there was nothing in it for them.
Now there are two classes of men in the
bulb business in Holland — growers and
exporters. Many of the latter grow
nothing, but buy the crops of the pro-
ducers. Apparently the merchants failed
to appreciate that they had not been
giving the growers living prices and
that a good many of them had closed
out their stock, turning to crops that
promised better returns this war year.
The merchants kept on selling at low
prices, only to find at harvest that Hol-
land's gladiolus bulb crop this year is
not nearly so large as in recent years.
Orders exceeding supply on certain
varieties, prices have rebounded sharply,
to the surprise of some of those who are
oversold.

In America there is about the usual
increase in acreage that has been noted
in recent years, but the production of
bulbs has not been enough to take care
of the demand without considerable im-
ports from Holland and, to a less ex-
tent, from England and Germany. With
these imports likely to be materially re-
duced and with certain Holland houses
trying to buy American-grown bulbs to
fill their American orders, the American
growers feel they are fairly assured of
another turn of good business at profita-
ble prices.

MORE DUTCH BULBS COME.

ments were listed in the New York

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The J. L. UUathorne Seed Co., of
Memphis, Tenn., is gratified over the
increase of business since moving into
the new store, which is managed by
C. W. Eichling, Jr. Mr. UUathorne
has charge of the 750-acre seed farm
at Franklin, Tenn.

Otto Schwill & Co., of Memphis, have
secured the agency for a mechanical
cotton picker, which promises to be a
big saver of labor. Bulbs are moving
rapidly. A leading local journal print-
ed a seasonable, well written article on
bulb planting, which boosted the sale
of bulbs.

The Leifer Bros. Seed Store, of Little
Bock, Ark., notices - a considerable
change in its country trade since the
advent of parcel post.

The Florists' Review

OCTOBBB 28, 191B.

The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., of St.
Louis, Mo., is of the opinion that it
will require a steady helmsman to steer
the ship of business amid the rocks of
high prices and shoals of short stocks
during the next seed season.

The St. Louis Seed Co. is receiving
many encomiums upon the new build-
ing, which is of the latest approved
style. The lower floor has display win-
dows of double frontage, which are at-
tractively triiinned with plants, bowls of
goldfish and everything required by
the amateur gardener.

The Hayes-Thomas Grain Co., of
Little Eock, reports last season as be-
ing the best in its experience in the
seed trade.

William Walker, of the David Hardie
Seed Co., Dallas, Tex., said last season
reminded him somewhat of the meeting
of the minister and Mrs. Jones, when
the following conversation took place:
"Amid all your troubles," said the
minister, "I am pleased to see that
your sense of gratitude does not fail."
'•Rheumatism is bad enough," replied
Mrs. Jones, "but I must be thankful
I still have a back to have it in."

Manager W. Robinson, of the Texas
Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, Tex., is in
the optimistic class and says his house
is preparing for all the good things
coming this fall.

The Blackwell & Hickey Co., of Hy-
dro, Okla., has entered the field of seed
growers. Mr. Hickey was with the
Barteldes Seed Co., of Lawrence, Kan.,
for several years.

The Drumm Seed & Floral Co., of
Fort Worth, has received the major
portion of its bulbs. This company
specializes in a strain of Drumhead
cabbage that is hard to beat. The store
has been remodeled.

The Kimbrough Seed Co., of
Meridian, Miss., has moved into a
larger store, directly opposite the old
stand.

The McVay Seed & Floral Co., of
Birmingham, Ala., reports a steady ad-
vance in both departments. There^ is
an optimistic spirit in the air. Onion
sets seem to be pHs^itiful in this region.

The Gorman - Gantmjll Seed Co., of
Birmingham, issues an up-to-date cata-
logue, which the officers of the com-
Dany consider a good investment.

irsxrsxnix:.

Santa Cruz, Oal. — Owing to ill health,
Mrs. Emma Lasswell has discontinued
her business at 47 Pelton avenue.

Eugene, Ore. — Elmer B. Guerry has
aold his half interest in the Eugene
Ploral Co., to his partner, and has
moved to Portland, Ore., where he ex-
pects to make a desirable business con-
nection.

MAIDENHAIR FERNS.

Will you kindly tell me why my maid-
enhair ferns do not leaf out? During
the spring and part of the summer a
great many fronds started, but they
did not mature. A fine, healthy stem
develops, but the end looks as if it had
been burned. The plants are young
dnd the new soil always has done finely.

A. L. H.— Gal.

The trouble described would seem to
indicate that an undue proportion of
.ammonia was contained in the soil,
'Which would cause the plants to behave
in such a manner. A reasonable pro-
portion of well rotted manure forms a
good fertilizer for maidenhair ferns,
but fresh stable manure is likely to
cause injury.

If this is not the cause, I should sus-
pect alkali in the water as a possible
source of the trouble. W. H. T.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Last week was one of varying for-
tunes; some days brought good busi-
ness, others were extremely slack. A
few hot days pushed the stock along
rapidly and this gave the impression of
a glut. It is at such times that the
need of a good central market makes
itself apparent. The growers peddling
their wares to retailers, who already
have more flowers than they can han-
dle, would be amusing were it not pa-
thetic. Then when the scarcity comes,
the grower is the last to know of it
and often sells his stock at about half
its value before he hears of the big de-
mand. The Japanese growers already
liave found the advantage of centraliz-
ing their efforts in this direction. The
situation as to the market may be
summed up as good business, but too
much stock in all lines.

Various Notes.

Frank Lichtenberg was unusually
busy last week with funeral work.
"Transient trade also was good. Her-
bert Bateman, of the store force, has
returned from a month's vacation at
San Francisco, where he visited old
friends and attended the exposition.
He reports having the time of his life.

.T. J. Darcy, formerly of Oakland and
later of Sacramento, is in the city. He
has just recovered from a serious illness
and is gaining strength every day,
which improvement he ascribes to the
glorious climate of Los Angeles county,
and southern California generally.

houses at Pasadena are always well
worth a visit. The orderly manner in

J. H. WILLEY & CO.

Santa Cruz, Cal.
Oct. 17, 1015

J. W. Howell says he is more than sat-
isfied with the business done at his
new location at 702 West Seventh
street. He is making a specialty of
ferns and palms.

Business is much improved at the re-
tail store of G. W. Smith, Seventh and
Figueroa streets. Evidently the pio-
neer work done in this locality is be-
ginning to bear fruit.

George Eischen, of the J. W. Wolters
store staff, and Carl Brose, of F. Lich-
tenberg's, report a good time hunting
rabbit and quail. They secured twenty-
one of the former in one day.

Helen Drew, daughter of 0. H. Drew,
of Tropico, Cal., was married at the

V

home of her brother, October 21, to
Atlee Vail, of MiltoUj N. Y. Mr. Drew
was formerly in business at Hibernia,
N. Y., as a mail-order seedsman. Mr.
and Mrs. Vail left for New York the
same evening.

In the matter of exhibits, the flower
show opened October 21 at the Woman's
Club, at Hollywood, was a great suc-
cess. At the time of writing the" stag-
ing of the exhibits is in progress.
Among the trade exhibits noted were
a garden scene by Paul Howard, a
group of cut flowers and plants from
the Germain Seed & Plant Co., of Los
Angeles, plants from Anton Soethout,
of the Hollywood Nurseries, and fine
cut flowers from Walter Armacost & Co.

H. R. Richards.

which Mr. Rust maintains his place
alone is worth the trip. A house con-
taining the beautiful Chatelaine bego-
nia is a sight worth going a long way
to see. The foliage and Lorraine types,
cyclamens and other flowering stock for
Christmas are especially good this year.
A pleasing collection of cannas, dahlias,
verbenas and other showy plants are
shown in what Mr. Rust calls his
"flower garden."

G. M. Bridgeford, of Eagle Rock, has
taken in another 'large piece of ground
near his home and is planting large
quantities of Dutch and French bulbs.
He has an exceptionally fine strain of
forget-me-nots, which have long, stiff
stems and large, deep blue flowers.

The L. A. Floral Co. is evidently ex-
tending the scope of its operations, New
Orleans, La., and Colorado Springs,

SAN FBANCISOO.

Colo., being among the labels noted in
the store recently.

S. Murata & Co. are supplying some
of the finest violets ever seen in this
market, notwithstanding the hot weath-
er. The mums, tpOy are extra fine, and
Mr. Murata says he will be able to keep
up this quality until Christmas.

A son was born to Morris Goldenson
October 15, but he only lived one day.
The sympathy of the trade is extended
to Mr. and Mrs. Goldenson.

The Market.

Growers reserved much of their finest
stock for exhibition purposes at the ex-
position last week, and the dealers had
to content themselves with fewer
choice flowers than usual. Especially
was this true of chrysanthemums. So
many of the choice blooms were re-
served for the show that first-class
stock was at a premium for a few
days. This did not interfere with

trade, however, as it helped other lines
whieh had received little attention in
competition with the great variety of
exceUent mums.

Many dahlias were used for show
purposes also, and this, together with
the shortage of first-class mums, made
them clean up closely. Pompons are
being handled in great quantities, but
there is no evidence of a surplus in any
quarter from day to day. They show
good quality and largely take the place
of the small summer stock, which is
gradually going out.

Carnations are beginning to come in
more freely and the quality is fairly
good. They are carefully graded and
the better blooms bring good prices.

Violets are more plentiful, but they
continue to clean up readily, as the
shipping demand is gradually improv-
ing. Some of the shippers are still
holding off, however, claiming that the
violets are too soft yet to ship to ad-
vantage. Boses are more plentiful
than for some time and the average
quality is better. Hadley, Ward and
Bussell make a good showing. Some
nice Ophelia are arriving. More Cecile
Brunner could be used, and long-
stemmed Beauties are still scarce,
though there are plenty of Eichmond,
Killarney, Maryland and Sunburst.
Orchids meet the demand and the sup-
ply of gardenias is equal to the call for
them.

Horticultural Day at Fair.

Horticultural day at the exposition,
October 21, was the occasion of the fall
flower show, held under the auspices of
the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society
in conjunction with the Chrysanthemum
Society of America and the Depart-
ment of Horticulture of the Panama-
Pacific Exposition. The day was
crowded with attractions and special
features. One hundred thousand pack-
ages of flower and vegetable seeds were
given away, as well as about 50,000 cut
dahlias, 3,000 potted ferns, 2,000 cans
of preserved fruits, 1,000 baskets of
apples and grapes and 1,000 bottles of
olive oil. There were concerts by
seven brass bands and by Hawaiian,
Spanish and American singers. A
large section of the Palace of Horti-
culture was given over to the flower
show displays. A splendid showing
was made the first day, chrysanthemums
being the principal feature. This was
by far the finest display of these flow-
ers ever presented on the Pacific coast.
Visitors crowded the building all day,
and the show section remained open
until 11 o'clock in the evening. Work-
ing in conjunction with Manager H.
Plath was an exhibition committee con-
sisting of John McLaren, Daniel Mac-
Borie, T. Taylor, Frank Pelicano, E.
James, Angelo J. Eossi, D. Baymond,
W. A. Hofinghoff, Donald McLaren,
William Kettlewell, William Munro,
John B. Fotheringham, P. EUings and
M. Poss. The show lasted six days,
each day having its special contests and
entertainment features. Competition
for the prizes was keen.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Frank Smith was here last week
purchasing supplies with the intention
of opening a flower store in Modesto,
Cal.

C. Kooyman received a large ship-
ment of Holland bulbs last week and
has been busy filling orders. He says
the bulbs arrived in good shape.

cleaned up a big lot of young Adiantum
Oalifornia ready for planting.

F. T. Schlotzhauer, of the Francis
Floral Co., takes considerable pride in
^an order recently received in competi-
tion on the strength of artistic design.
The occasion was one of the numerous
conventions in this city. The commit-
tee in charge of the affair arranged
that each of the visiting ladies, num-
bering 250, should find a box of flowers
in her apartment on arriving. Many
different kinds of roses were used:
Shawyer, Ophelia, Ward, Irish Ele-
gance, etc., sprayed with California
violets and enclosed in boxes which
were colored to harmonize with the par-
ticular variety of rose enclosed, the
whole being double-tied with ribbons
in harmonizing tones.

Following the death of George H.
Evans last spring, the Jordan Park
Moral Co., at Clement street, was taken
over by F. E. Stratton, who continues as
proprietor. E. A. Brown, who has been
connected with the business in that
location for the last six years, is now
manager of the establishment. He says
business for the summer was good.

Alfred Serveau, who has long been
associated with his father, Emile Ser-
veau, in the flower business on JHllmore
street, near Sacramento street, was re-
cently taken into partnership. Emile
Serveau is giving all his attention to
the store, having sold his calla-growing
establishment in the Ocean View dis-
trict to his brother, Charles. There are
between 300,000 and 400,000 callas
planted on this place, and it is expected
that the coming season's business, both
in cut flowers and bulbs, will be even
larger than this year. 8. H. G.

weeks of October have been considera-

and White Ivory, locally grown, and
Bonnaffon, from California, have ap-
peared. Several varieties of white
dahlias are being used with good ad-
vantage in designs. The cut ef roses has
diminished somewhat, and the cut of
carnations has increased. Potted mums,
azaleas, cyclamens and Lorraine begonias
are leaders of the blooming plants.

The sale of ferns and ornamentals has
fallen off. Some of the shipments of
Paper Whites and Bomans have arrived.
There has not been enough rain to put
the soil in the nurseries in good condi-
tion for lifting stock.

Club Meeting.

About two-thirds of the members of
the Portland Floral Society attended
the meeting October 19. The "get ac-
quainted roll call" showed among the
visitors Bernard Rynveld, of Hillegom,
Holland, and E. B. Guerry, of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos-
ton. One new member was elected and
one application filed. E. W. Gill, man-
ager of the dahlia show, reported that
he had not yet received all bills per-
taining to the show and, therefore,
could not make a final report. Exhib-
itors of stock other than dahlias will be
asked to help to pay part of the ex-
penses incidental to the show.

The president stated that his protest
against the tax assessments on green-
house grown stock had resulted in a
compromise, and that the county author-
ities admit that it is an open question.
They have fixed the assessments on
small and medium-siz&d ranges at $100
to $150 each. This covers tools and
equipment, with the exception of store
fixtures and delivery vehicles. If any-
one in this county is assessed for more,
he is paying more than he should.

On request of the rose festival man-
agers, a committee was chosen to at-
tend the meeting of the clubs which
support the festival, October 20, con-
sisting of the president, James Forbes
and Julius Dossche.

It was voted to hold another ladies'
night during the second week of De-
cember, at a date to be arranged by the
entertainment committee.

William Borsch, chairman of the
growers' committee, reported that his
committee held a meeting earlier in
the evening and discussed several top-
ics. The committee will hold a meeting
of all the growers this week.

It was announced that club members
would receive invitations to attend
the meeting of the State Horticultural
Society, to be held at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, about November 18.
Twenty members signified their" inten-
tions of attending the meeting. On mo-
tion, a committee consisting of B. W.
Gill, J. B. Pilkington and Charles Welty
was selected to arouse interest in the
affair and arrange for exhibits of cut
flowers and plants. The entertainment
of the evening consisted of a number
of colored views of California and for-
eign countries, interspersed with comics,
thrown on the screen by J. G. Bacher,
who took many of the photographs on
his trip to the exposition.

The refreshment tables were deco-
rated with a number of vases of dahlias
brought iu by E. H. White.

G. Indermuhle recognized all the col-
ored scenes of Switzerland and J. B.
Pilkington exhibited a comprehensive
knowledge of the streets of San Fran-
cisco.

H. E. Weed said he had lifted some
stock and finished some landscape
work, which had turned out in good
shape.

Ai^gust Zitzewitz said his carnations
were just coming in. His October
Frost, Golden Glow and Smith's Ad-
vance were nearly all cut.

John Holden said his company had
several varieties of blooming pot plants
ready to market.

Henry Clenimens remarked that he
had been able to take three crops a
year from his range at Newberg.
Sweet peas, gladioli and tomatoes form
the crop rotation he follows.

J. G. Bacher received congratulations
on the arrival, October 6, of the fourth
addition to his family.

Various Notes.

Max Smith took a hand in furnishing
entertainment for Mayor Thompson, of
Chicago, who recently visited Portland.
Mr. Smith reported a good run of funeral
work last week. He is having splendid
success with cyclamen this year.

Delegates from more than fifty or-
ganizations, including the Portland
Floral Society, met with the civic bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce October 20
to hear the final reports of the board of
governors of the rose festival and to or-

Leo Wiedemann treated his florist
friends to some choice cuts of venison
from a buck he shot on his recent hunt-
ing trip.. A. J. Clarke said his steak
tasted like bear meat and that he pre-
ferred the flavor of the Chinese pheas-
ants brought in by 5. J. Millatt.

Now that the large department stores
close at 6 p. m. Saturdays, some of the
florists in the central business district
have noticed a decrease in their business
on that evening. The downtown florists
have joined the retail merc^hants in an
advertising campaign.

According to an item in one of the

Portland papers, Julius Possche is

charged with attempting to create an

edible dahlia for use in soups and salads.

PAPEB WHITES IN GLASS JABS.

September 20 I planted some Paper
Whites in 4-inch glass jars, using moss
fiber, and placed them at once in a dark,
cool cellar. The roots have started nice-
ly, filling about one-third of the jar, and
the tops are two inches high. Is this
too much of a lop for the root growth,
and shall I keep them in the cellar
until more roots are formed t They are
a fine lot of mammoth, thrifty bulbs,
and I am anxious to bring them into
bloom if possible. J. B. B. — HI.

Paper White narcissi make rapid
growth, and it will be better to move
your plants into the light now. Other

There is little prospect of low prices
for European nursery products next sea-
son; the labor shortage will be an in-
creasingly important factor.

JACKSON & PEBKINS OFFICEBS.

A meeting of the directors of Jackson
& Perkins Co. was held last week, fol-
lowing the return of the president, C. H.
Perkins, from California. The resigna-
tion of John Watson as director and
secretary, which had been tendered
September' 23, was duly accepted and
regret was expressed by the other di-
rectors over the termination of his con-
nection with the company's affairs.
George C. Perkins was elected to the
vacant secretaryship. He will fill both
that "office and the one of treasurer,
which he already held, and will resume
the more active participation in the
management which he partly re-
linquished some years ago because of
being at that time in ill health.

Chas. H. Perkins II, a nephew of
the president, was made a director and
was also elected vice-president. He is
well known to the trade, having been
for a number of years the company's
traveling representative. During the
growing season he also has a general
supervision of the various nursery
farms. His election as a director and
officer is felt by the other directors to
be a well deserved recognition of his
Bervices.

Paul Fortmiller, who has been Mr.
Watson's chief assistant for the last
four years, was promoted to the posi-
tion of office manager and will have
charge of a considerable part of the
correspondence.

The outdoor organization remains un-
changed, and the directors feel the
company is to be particularly congratu-
lated on having built up and main-
tained a corps of such loyal and effi-
cient employees. The heads of the green-
house department and of the shipping
department have each worked for the
company over twenty-five years; in
fact, both of them grew up with Jack-
son & Perkins at Newark, N. Y., and
neither man ever worked anywhere else.

DEIilVEBIES UNDER CONTRACTS.

A nurseryman who makes a contract
to deliver a certain quantity of trees
cannot avoid liability in damages for
^ failing to live up to the contract on the
ground that he expected to obtain the
necessary stock elsewhere, but was un-
able to do so, unless he has protected
himself against that contingency by
provision in the contract. This is ac-
^ ,yffffi^^f *" a recent decision of the Cal-

ifornia Supreme court. (Pearson vs.
McKinney, 117 Pacific Eeporter 918.)
Othdr important phases applicable to
sales of nursery stock were involved
in the case.

The contract between the parties pro-
vided for a sale of 25,000 budded
orange trees of standard size, with
option of the buyer to purchase when
the stock should be 1 year old from
the bud, at 30 cents per tree; or at the
age of 2 years, at 35 cents per tree;
or at 3 years, at 40 cents per tree.
Standard trees of the first two ages
were fixed at five-eighths and three-
fourths of an inch, respectively. The
buyer was required to give notice one
month before budding as to the vari-
eties he would select. Under these
terms, the Supreme court held that
there was no implied warranty on the
part of the seller that the trees would
attain the standard size at any particu-
lar time, and that the seller was en-
titled to a reasonable time to procure
budding.

The provision giving the buyer an
option to take the trees at one or two
years from the bud, of a standard size,
was held not to entitle the buyer to
demand them at that exact age. The
seller was entitled to make delivery
within a reasonable time after demand.

so that if the number of trees demand-
ed had not grown to the standard size
when demand was made, without the
seller's fault, the buyer would have
to wait until they attained that size,
although the trees were more than 1
or 2 years old from the bud when de-
livered. Subject to such rule, the
buyer could make successive demands
for reasonable quantities less than the
25,000.

It was further decided that the pro-
vision in the contract that the buyer
should give notice as to the varieties
of trees he desired, did not preclude
him from selecting a reasonable num-
ber of varieties of those trees which
could be obtained by the seller with
reasonable effort,
-It was contended by the seller that

the buyer's demands were insufficient
because no money was tendered in pay-
ment, concurrently with the demand for
delivery. In overruling this conten-
tion, the court said:

"It is true that upon a sale of goods
for an agreed price, if the contract
contains nothing to the contrary, pay-
ment and delivery are concurrent acts.
But actual payment need not accom-
pany the demand for delivery unless
such delivery is to be made then and
there. If the goods are not present, to
be then and there delivered to the
buyer, the buyer may accompany his
demand with an offer to pay when
actual delivery is made to him. This
the buyer did in this case. His demand
was made at the office of the seller,
and it was accompanied by the state-
ment that he was ready to pay for the
trees upon delivery. He was met with
a refusal, and a statement that there
were no trees on hand of standard size
that were subject to the contract. The
trees were then at the nursery, seven-
teen miles distant. The buyer there-
upon went to the nursery to get the
trees, prepared to pay for them on de-

There is at present no thoroughly satisfactory scarlet carna-
tion. We believe we have such a variety in Aviator and we have
decided to disseminate it, beginning delivery January 1, 1916.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NEW CARNATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT BY US SINCE

WE INTRODUCED ENCHANTRESS, AND TOU MAY BE SURE WE ARE CONFIDENT

. IT*S GOOD OR WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR NAME AND REPUTATION BACK OF IT.

DESCRIPTION— Parents, red sport of Maoeo and red seedling. Color, intense scarlet, ^rery bright. Stem, thin, wiry
and stiff. Flowers, fine, full and nicely fringed. Habit, clean; upright growth; every break makes a rapid advance, pro-
ducing a profusion of fine flowers in a very short time. The most prolific carnation ever offered to the trade, barring none.
No disease, no grass, easy to propagate. There are larger reds offered, but Aviator will outbloom them 3 to 1. We have
plants of Aviator on which we can count 24 buds for the first crop and the houses easily average 15 buds per plant.

WE HAVE PLANTED 40,000 AVIATOR

One house is to be devoted exclusively to the production of cuttings. The other houses

are to produce blooms. INSPECTION INVITED.

At the Illinois State Fair, Springfield. September 21 to 23, on 11 entries we tack's first prizes,
2 second prizes, 1 third prize. If you want first-class cut carnation blooms, order of us.

8. A. P., R. C. Kerr has tendered his
resignation as a director, to which place
he was appointed last January, to take
effect January 1. This will give the
incoming president three directorships
to distribute unless the president for

The Florists^ R^cw

OCTOBBB 28, 1016.

SCBANTON, PA.

The Market.

Last week was a busy one. Weddings
and funeral work kept the stock cleaned
up. Chrysanthemums are plentiful and
are sold at $1.50 to $4 per dozen. Carna-
tions are scarce at 75 cents per dozen.
Boses bring $1 to $3 per dozen.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Scranton
Florists' Club was held October 21 at
the store of A. L. Besancon & Co. Presi-
dent L. E. McClintock was in the chair.
There was a good attendance and much
business was transacted. It was de-
cided to hold the spring flower show
April 2 to 4, 1916.

The following officers were nominated
for the ensuing year: President, M. L.
Euch; vice-president, John W. Beagle;
secretary, T. B. McClintock; treasurer,
Miss Gertrude Schultheis.

A luncheon was served by Miss
Besancon.

Various Notes.

Miss Annie Griffiths, of the West
Side Floral Sfiop, reports business good,
especially in funeral and wedding work.

Miss Kennedy, of Clark's, has re-
turned from a two weekei' vacation
spent at Washington, D. C.

Anton Schultheis is cutting some fine
mums and carnations. He has finished
repairing several of his greenhouses.

Andrew Velton, former manager for
Ira G. Marvin at his Pittston branch,
has started business for himself and has
opened a store at 16 Williams street,
Pittston. He has the best wishes of
all the craft.

The store windows of A. L. Besancon
& Co. have been decorated artistically
with mums, roses and carnations. A
basket of the new pink rose. Sweet
Marie, took everybody's eye. The
company reports an active business.

John P. Brown reports business good.
James Cusick, of his place, has resigned
his position.

Mrs. W. G. Parks, of Jermyn, Pa.,
was a caller last week. She reports
business fair.

T. B. McClintock is cutting some fine
Chrysolora mums, which sell readily.

F. W. Mackey reports a heavy call
for Boston and Whitmani ferns. He
is also cutting excellent mums.

Baldwin the Florist has been doing
a big business during the last week.
His windows are always attractive. He
is cutting some first-class carnations
and chrysanthemums, but not enough
to supply the demand. F. J. M.

I THANK The Review for good results.

The Florists* Review

OCTOBBK 28, 1015.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Tlie Market.

Trade has been quite satisfactory for
the last two weeks. Mums are becom-
ing more plentiful and are finding a
good market. Roses are meeting with
a good call and some first-class stock is
available. Carnations are plentiful and
of good quality. Beauties have been a
little short and only of fair quality, but
are improving. Orchids and valley have
been finding a fair demand.

Various Notes.

S. S. Skidelsky spent a couple of
days with the trade here last week.

Irwin Bertermann is spending a few
days at French Lick.

Hartje & Elder cut about the first
pompons that appeared in the market
this season. r?

E. A. Nelson has just returned from
a fishing trip.

Claude Morrison has taken a position
with the Hill Floral Co.

A. Wiegand's Sons Co. has been busy
with decorations of late. Trade has
been brisk with this firm this month.

The Pahud Floral Co. has discontin-
ued the use of horses and is using autos
altogether.

Baur & Steinkamp have been cutting
some first-class carnations of late> Some
of the blooms of their numerous new
seedlings have been finding ready sale
over the counter. H. L. W.

A shortage of stock has existed in
this vicinity for three weeks. Some
fine Chrysolora, Robert Halliday, Vir-
ginia Poehlmann, Nakota, Golden and
Alice Salomon are to be seen on the
market.

Hartje & Elder sent in the first batch
of pompons. The consignment sold
readily.

The Smith & Young Co. reports a
rushing business. The demand for
stock has been so great that cut flowers
are sold to the highest bidder at auction.

Baur & Steinkamp are sending in
their usual high grade carnations, in
novelties for counter trade. They have
some well-grown Begonia Gloire de
Chatelaine also, and dwarf Jerusalem
cherries in 5-inch pans.

The Claypool Hotel Florist is kept
busy these days with decorations for
the numerous conventions held in the
hotel by Indiana organizations. They
have felt an exceptional demand for
roses and orchids of late.

Several Indianapolis florists expect to
attend the Chicago and Cleveland
shows.

COLUMBUS, O.

Tlie Market.

Trade has been brisk lately, with a
good supply of stock. Roses are excel-
lent and at times there is a surplus to
dispose of, owing to the quantity of
chrysanthemums, which now cut a large
figure in the business. Most of the
early mums are disposed of and the
midseason ones are making their ap-
pearance. Some good mums are seen,
including Turner, Roman Gold and Ap-
pleton. As a rule they are used vtp
closely and Monday found several of the
craft on the hunt for stock.

Carnations are coming in heavily,
but are about all used each day. Valley
is a little more plentiful and meets with
a ready sale. Lilies are more abundant
than a while back, but the demand for
them is not extra heavy. There is a
considerable demand for potted mums,
but nothing of extra quality is to be
seen. Ferns are moving nicely. There
have been a few sweet peas on the
market. Snapdragons will be scarce,
judging by the looks of the stock now,
as most growers have cut them out.

Various Notes.

Mr. Clark, of the Grefen-Joyce flower
department, reports large sales of
ferns, in which they have special sales
every few days. Other trade also is
good.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports
mums "cut to the minute," but plenty
of carnations and roses.

Sam Graff says business is about all
that can be expected, with mums slack-
ing up in quantity.

The Livingston Seed Co. has been
running short on mums, as not so many
were planted as last season. Carna-
tions also are ready sellefS and it is
difficult to keep enough of them on
hand. The members of the firm 's auto
delivery force now wear uniforms.

Miss Thompson, of the Columbus Flo-
ral Co., entertained the Social Club at
her home and everyone reports a good
time. The next meeting is planned for
about November 2, but it is not yet de-
cided who will be the entertainer.

The Columbus Floral Co. is ^cutting
just about enough mums for its own
use. The company is cutting some sin-

fle violets; the first lot came in on
aturday, October 23. J. M.

Topeka, Kan. — James Hayes now de-
livers his flowers by means of a spick-

GERANIUMS

It is the consensus of opinion that the supply of Gera-
niums is going to be somewhat short this coming season, on
account of so many growers being short of stock plants.
Oijr stock was never in better condition than it is now, so
that we anticipate no difficulty whatever in filling orders;
but at the same time we would suggest that the surest way
is to let us book your order at an early date. New cata-
logue and price list for 1916 is ready for distribution; a
request will bring it if accompanied by a business card.

We have a splendid lot of Geraniums in 3-inch pots, ready for
shipment, just right for the southern trade or winter bioominK,

The Market.

The uuusual scarcity of stock that
prevailed last week has eased up a lit-
tle, but the supply of good stock is by
no means equal tp the demand. Mums
are becoming more plentiful, but they
readily bring from $2 to $3 per dozen.
Yellow mums were in heavy demand
October 23, owing to the game at Ann
Arbor, and hundreds were disposed of
at good prices. Yellow pompons also
were in demand.

The many social eVeirts— the social
calendar is crowded this year — are keep-
ing the market sold out in roses, espe-
cially the short-stemmed stock. Carna-
tions are improving daily and retail
readily at from 75 cents to $1 per
dozen. These prices are for blooms
that later could hardly be given away.

Various Notes.

Henry Forster, chief adjutant for
E. A. Fetters, will live in the hand-
some apartments over Mr. Fetters' new

Hugo Schroeter, Inc., was the first to
display Halloween decorations in the
windows this year. In the largest win-
dow there was a ghostly barnyard
scene^ with several ghosts peeking from
behind gates and shocks of corn. This
window was especially effective at
night, when the lights in the ghosts'
heads became more marked. In the
smaller window was a Halloween ta-
ble covered with black crepe paper hav-
ing a fringe of Dennison decorative
paper in black and white. On the ta-
ble were three centerpieces made up in
heads of red cabbage, also candlesticks
and several young ghosts. Novelty
baskets ^Ued with pompons, corn, etc.,
completed the window.

The E. A. Fetters staff was on the
jump October 23 with orders for three
wedding decorations. Mr. Fetters ap-
pears to have the cream of the wed-
ding orders this October.

Frank Farney, of the M. Kice Co., was
in town this week.

Hereafter the meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club will begin at 6:30 p. m.,
instead of 6. The first annual meet-
ing of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Detroit Florists ' Club will be held Octo-
ber 29, in the studio of the Bemb Floral
Co.

John Carey was busily engaged Oc-
tober 25 in decorating his window for
Halloween. Mr. Carey displayed a fine
assortment of yellow mums in baskets,
and pot plants trimmed with the colors
of the University of Michigan. H. S.

Garland Manufacturing Co.,
Des Plaines, 111.

Gentlemen:—

We are so pleased with onr new bonse at
Ottawa tbat we must tell you about it.

All of our houses built preTious to this one
ate of wood frame, some wltb wood and some
with iron gutters. We were not satisfied with
thia class of bonse, so investigated carefully
the diflTerent types of construction. We were
favorably Impressed with your steel frame
construction, and after giving the important
factors of light, strength, durability and cost
due consideration we decided that you have
the t>est on the market.

We are more pleased than ever, now that
the house is a reality. To comprehend the
advantages of this construction one must
really see this wonderful house. The interior
is as light as outside; the air is perfect, and
the construction is as strong as a bridge.
Each of these are vital factors in greenhouse
construction.

Your method of supporting heating pipes
on castings Imbedded in cement walks Is the
best we ever saw.

We had fear that owing to the bad weather
all summer yon would be unable to have the
house completed on time, but we are glad this
was all borrowed trouble, and that all was
completed ahead of the time specified. Mr.
Winandy deserves much credit for this, as it
proves him a very thorough and careful
builder.

We want to thank you for the courtesies
shown us, and hope you will be able to make
other greenhouse men as happy as we are.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) DAVIS & STEINER.

will send you one of these

Greenhouse Heating.

^^-^ ■"■■-■■' — ■»

SUBSCBIBEBS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

CAPACITY OF STEAM BOILEB.

Will you please inform me how many
square feet of glass a 3-horsepower
boiler will heat by steam f

W. G. B. S.— Ohio.

It is customary to figure that 100
square feet of steam radiation can be
handled for each horsepower in a boiler.
This would be suf&cient for 600 square
feet of glass, if a temperature of 60
degrees is desired in sections where the
mercury does not drop much below
zero. However, it is advisable to shade
this estimate somewhat, except in the
case of large boilers, and with one as
small as 3-horsepower I would not ex-
pect to heat more than 800 or 900
square feet of glass. Even with this
amount, frequent firing will be neces-
sary.

With a 20-inch grate about 900 square
feet of glass can be heated to 60 de-
grees with 150 square feet of radiation,
or 1,200 square feet can be heated to
50 degrees. The same grate and boiler
will heat the foregoing amount of glass
more economically when piped for hot
water, but nearly twice as much radia-
tion should be provided. The attention
required will also be greatly reduced.

WISHES TO USE S-INOH FIFE.

I have a range of six houses, which
I wish to heat with hot water. Five of
the houses run east and west and all
of these are 10x110, except the violet
house at the south side, which is 7x110.
The north wall of the range is six feet
high; the lower two and one-half feet
are concrete and the rest of the wall
is glass. The south wall of the violet
house is three feet high, and consists
of one and one-half feet of wood and
one and one-half feet of glass. At the
east end of the 10-foot houses is a
lean-to, 18x40 feet, with 6-foot walls.
I wish to know whether two 3-inch
runs of pipe in each house will main-
tain a temperature of 60 degrees in
}^»ero weather, and whether a 14-horse-
' 'power upfiglrt 'boiler will provide heat

enough for the six houses. The boiler
is set ten feet below the floor of the
greenhouses. S. H. B. — :Ky.

For a temperature of 60 degrees, in
a house ten feet wide, three 3-inch
pipes will be required and an additional
pipe should be used in the outer house,
which has three and one-half feet ad-
ditional glass. It would be preferable,
however, to run a 2% -inch flow pipe
on each wall and connect each of them
with a coil of two 2-inch returns, using
three returns on the north wall. To
heat the 7-foot violet house, two S-inch
returns would suffice. These may be
connected with one of the flows in the
south house.

While a 14-horsepower boiler might
answer for heating the houses, I would
prefer a boiler rated for at least
twenty horsepower.

OONKECT DmECTLT TO BOILER.

Please tell us how many runs of 2-
inch pipe will be needed to heat our
greenhouse, which is 20x50. Also state
where to locate the pipes to get the
best results. We want a temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees in zero weather.
The house runs east and west. One side
wall is fifty-four inches high; the other
is thirty-flve inches high. Both these
walls are concrete, except that there
are sixteen inches of glass on the
south side. One end of the house is
glass above the eaves; the other end
adjoins our residence. The height from
floor to gable is twelve feet.

We have another greenhouse, and
both it and the residence are heated
with hot water. The hot water boiler
is in the basement, under the dwelling.
Can we connect the new piping to the
pipes that heat the other greenhouse,
or shall we connect at the boiler? The
boiler has only two more connections
for flows and two for returns. It is a
5-8ection hot water boiler.

E. E. K. & S,— Kan.

For heating a greenhouse 20x50 to
60 degrees, I would use three 2-inch
flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns.
It does not seem to be clear whether
one or two boilers will be used, but if
both greenhouses and the dwelling are
to be heated from one boiler, I would
certainly connect the flow and return
pipes in the house 20x50 directly with
the boiler. The size of the boiler ports
is not given, but if they are smaller
than 2^-inch, I would still use that
size of pipe for the main flow and re-
turn pipes and reduce them at the boiler
to 2-inch.

Place one of the flow pipes upon
each side wall plate and the other un-
der the ridge, with four of the returns
on the walls underneath, or under the
side benches, and the others under the
middle bench.

PIPING ONE DETACHED HOUSE.

I should like to have you figure the
heating on house No. 1, as shown on
the enclosed sketch. You will notice
that the house to be heated is separated
from the other house by an open space
of twelve feet. Please state the right
number and size of flows and returns
and describe the most efficient arrange-
ment. Should all the returns be placed

—kept all pipes in
TWENTY-THREE
greenhouses CLEAR!

This is the unusual service the Morehead System
is performing every day for Mr. Geo. A. Kuhl, an up-to-date florist of Pekin,
111. Here's his letter— read it :

" Gentlemen : I mn testify to the fact that we think your trap a wonder-
fully good thing, because it kept all pipes in our twenty-three greenhouses
clear, and good, healthy st^Sian in them at all times, where the original pump
heretofore had not done anything like it. We will be glad, at any time, to give
you more information in regard to the same.

" Yours respectfully, Geo. A. Kuhl."

This Case Is Typical

of the service satisfaction which is being realized
by users of the "Morehead" system everywhere.
Not only will the "Morehead" System keep
your steam lioes absolutely clear of accumu-
lated condensation, but it will save a large per
cent of your fuel.

This is accomplished by delivering the conden<
satioQ directly back to the boiler HOT.
The details of this economy measure wiU be
E interesting to you, as a matter of course.

S Why not send for the "Morehead" book at once?

required to maintain a temperature of
50 degrees in zero weather.

I would run two 3-inch pipes to the
house and carry one of them as a flow
pipe on the south wall. With the other
3-inch pipe, supply two 2% -inch flows,
one to be carried on the north wall and
the other about three feet under the
ridge, to tiie west end of the house. On
the south wall place a coil of five 2-
inch returns, which should be carried
across the east end and back to where
the flow pipes enter the house, unless
there is a door in the end of the house,
in which case the coil would stop at
the door and a 3-inch pipe would con-
nect it with the boiler. On the north
wall place a coil of four 2-inch returns
and supply the same number of returns
from the middle flow pipe. The flow
pipes should run downhill, at least after
they enter the greenhouse.

PIPING TWO 15-FOOT HOUSES.

Please give me suggestions for the
piping of the following houses for hot
water heat: House No. 1 is 15x50 and
,ten feet high to the ridge, with two
feet of concrete and thtea. feet of glass
in the side wallje' Hbuse Nd. 2 is 15x50
and nine feet to.'the Hdge, with 3-foot
concrete side walls anc^.Qo side glass.
I. wish to place, ttie retun^ pipes Tinder
the bench«S,T Sow fan.below^ the re-
turns must the "bottom of the boiler be?
I want a temperature of about 60 de-
grees. C. E.— Ohio.

• While it is preferable to have the
-top of the boiler below the level of the
ireturns, this is not absolutely neces-
sary, especially if the flows are on the
wall plates.

To heat house No. 1 to 60 degrees, I
would run a 2%-inch flow pipe on each
of the plates and connect each of then)
with a coil of five 2-inch returns. Give
the fiows as well as the returns a slight
fall. In house No, 2, which is of the
same size as No. 1, but has no glass in
the side walls, the use of two 2%-inch
flow pipes and twd coils containing
th^ee 2-inch pipes, . as returns, should
give the desjred - temperature.

The Florists' Review

OCXOBEB 28, 1015.

GRAND BAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

The somewhat earlier arrival of a
killing frost this year has helped to
make October sales run heavier than
those for the same month of a num-
ber of years. Business, locally, in all
lines, seems to be on the upgrade. The
florists anticipate a good year.

The frost created a lively demand for
outdoor flowers. This activity and the
large amount of funeral work has made
October a banner month.

There is a large supply of fine mums
and just about enough carnations and
roses are cut to go the rounds. Lilies
are scarce. Some fine violets are com-
ing in from both field and bench, but
in another week all will be under glass.
A recent cloudy spell brought mildew
to some of the roses, but with the re-
turn of sunshine the mildew is being
cleared out.

The Holland bulbs are on display in
all the department stores, but the stores
are not having it all their own way
this year, for some of the florists are
meeting the competition with low prices
and lots of printers' ink.

Various Notes.

Henry Smith reports October busi-
ness as being good and says he expects
to attend the Cleveland show.

The Eli Cross store force has been
busy with several large funeral orders.

Fine orchids are being shown by the
Alfred Hannah Floral Co.

James Schols is picking some extra
fine violets. His violets are not all
benched, but will be next week.

A. F. C.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

The Market.

Business was livelier last week.
There are plenty of chrysanthemums
and a good demand for them. Carna-
tions are better than they have been
and are selling well. Several large
weddings during the week stimulated
trade to a great extent.

Various Notes.

At a meeting of the executive and
entertainment committees of the New
Bedford Horticultural Society, held re-
cently at the home of Frank H. Tripp,
it was decided to hold the annual chrys-
anthemum show November 9 and 10.
An additional silver cup was oflfered
hj Mr. Benson, of Boston, for the best
six vases, three blooms to a vase, of
six distinct varieties.

James Gaethley, of Fairhaven, lias
finished moving his range knd reports
business as rapidly improving.

An excellent week of business is re-
ported by Julius the Florist, proprie-
tor of the Flower Mart.

William Pierce is to be complimented
on the window displays he has made
recently. He is at some disadvantage,
having a rather small window, but the
taste used is excellent.

Post & Gray report their usual call
for palms and ferns. They are cutting
some excellent mums, which find a
ready market.

Among the local florists who will ex-
hibit at the coming mum show are Peter
Murray, the Peckham Floral Co. and
James Gaethley, all of Fairhaven, and
S. E. Shaw and Post & Gray, of this
fit J. ,' . 'fv'J'. W. M. P,^,

PLANT TUBS

EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR

raVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of
19 everlastincr Virg^inia White Cedar will
best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" bra^d
of White Cedar Plant Tabs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and out with b0st oil paints, a rich green.

They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large
size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized)
on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed
with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and
have perforated, removable bottoms.

These Cedar Tubs are made in all* sizes, from 24^
inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large
for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth.
Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with
prices, famished upon request.

OCTOBIB 28, ldl5.

PITTSBUBQH.

Tlie Market.

Business seems to have decreased
since the last report, but not enough to
cause any complaint. Stock of all kinds
has become more plentiful; Chrysanthe-
mums and roses are in heavier supply
and carnations are gradually improving
in quality and increasing in quantity.
Lilies and valley, which have been
scarce, now appear to be more plentiful
and of better quality. Yellow pompon
chrysanthemums are good. Orchids are
plentiful and the demand for them is
heavy. Violets are arriving, but they
are nothing extra. They meet an in-
different demand. As a whole, business
is much better than last year.

Various Notes.

The McCallum Co. has sold its Cleve-
land store to W. Q. Potter. George
Marshall has been elected vice-presi-
dent of the company.

A. E. Grass, stockman for the A. W.
Smith Co., is feeling rather proud these
days and has been quite liberal with
his cigars. It's a boy.

John Jones, foreman at Phipps Con-
servatory, is a busy man at present.
He is making preparations for his fall
show, which means that all the plants
in several large houses must be moved
to make room for the chrysanthemum
display. The show will open about No-
vember 1. The mums are all pot-grown
this year and are of exceptional quality.

Nuernberg & Boyle, Turtle Creek, Pa.,
are the proprietors of one of the new
flower stores opened this fall.

Bandolph & McClements had a spe-
cial window display of asters and
other flowers, which caused considerable
comment among the trade. Every flo-
rist's window in the city is attractively
trimmed. It is siafe to say that in no
other trade has there been so great an
improvement in window decorations as
in the florists' trade.

The death of Henry Baldinger is re-
ported in this week's obituary column.

The retail stores had splendid win-
dow displays of dahlias last week. Mrs.
E. A. Williams secured a unique color
effect by the use of dahlias, ribbons,
crotons and ferns. Clarke.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Market.

There was a complete reversal of
business conditions in this city last
week. Instead of being hard pushed to
secure enough stock to fill all orders,
the wholesale and commission houses
found all sorts of flowers coming into
the market in such quantities as to pro-
duce a glut. Up to the first part of
the week dahlias found a ready sale
and were received in safe quantities.
Now, regardless of quality, they fail
to find a purchaser. Cosmos is over-
plentiful and, with the market glutted
with it and dahlias, considerable diffi-
culty is experienced in marketing chrys-
anthemums.

The carnation market is similarly hit.
It is hard to get even $3 per hundred
for carnations. The supply has in-
creased greatly. During the first two
weeks in October there were many oc-
casions when the dealers had to refuse
orders for valley and the price went to
$5 per hundred. Easter lilies were quite
scarce and often there were not enough
of these to fill all calls. This situation
also has changed. Valley has declined
to $1 per hundred and Easter lilies go
begging. Yellow daisies have again
made their appearance in small quanti-
ties and meet with occasional sales.
Single violets of local production are
now in fine shape and are bringing as
high aa 75 cents per hundred. The sup-
ply of roses is not heavy, but there are
enough to meet all demands.

There was no great rush of business
last week, but the wholesalers were well
satisfied with results. A few large fu-
neral orders and wedding decorations
produced some activity at the retail
stores. Trade is amply up to the stand-
ard for this time of the, year. In all
probability business for October will
show an increase over the same month
of last year.

Various* Notes.

Walter Hawley, of the Gude Bros. Co.,
visited New York last week, having
been placed in charge of several hun-
dred dollars' worth of funeral designs
representing tributes from this city to
the late Robert B. Ward. While in
New York, Mr. Hawley called at a num-
ber of the wholesale and commission
houses to get a line on market condi-
tions.

Among the visiting florists and trav-
eling men who stopped at Washington
last week were William F. Kasting,
Buffalo, N. Y.j Henry C. Heilemann,
representing William B. Lake, of Phila-
delphia; S. Nusbaum, of Clarksburg,
W. Va., and Joseph J. Goudy, repre-
senting Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phila-
delphia.

Frederick H. Kramer is extending the
display window of his store at 916 F
street, northwest, an additional eleven
feet, taking in the entrance to the
upper floors of the building. This will
give him a large space for display pur-
poses. Mr. Kramer states that other
improvements will be commenced when
the work now in hand is completed.

Frank Good, formerly manager of
the store of Frederick H. Kramer, re-
cently went to New York on a vaca-
tion. Apparently be became homesick
while there and decided to remain per-
manently. He has sent his resignation
to Mr. Kramer and is reported to have
secured a position with a firm by whom
he was formerly employed. C. L. L.

The fall flower shows are on and are showing continued advance in
quality of stock and attractiveness of arrangement. The season is one
of abundance in cut flower markets, so that commercial growers can well
afford to make the most of this hest of all opportunities to attract the
favorable attention of the flower-buying public .

THE MADISON SHOW.

First of the Autumn Exhibitions.

The twentieth annual flower show of
the Morris County Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Society opened at Madison, N. J.,
October 28. The weather was perfect
and the attendance fully up to expecta-
tions. This society holds a record for
its long, uninterrupted series of flower
shows and they have now progressed to
a point where they are considered the
society event of the county; conse-
quently the attendance is notably large
and yet exclusive, as Madison, Morris-
town and the surrounding towns are the
country homes of a great many million-
aires.

The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that the chrysanthemum blooms ex-
hibited were finer than ever before. In
these- the awards were as follows:

THE SAN FSANCISCO SHOW.

Largest Yet Held on Ooast.

The fall flower show at the Panama-
Pacific Exposition, the opening of
which was reported in last week 's issue
of the Review, closed October 26, and
unquestionably was the most success-
ful exhibition that has ever been held
on the Pacific coast. It was well ad-
vertised locally and, with the added
attraction of the exposition, which had
several other special events during the
period, the attendance was remarkably
heavy, the large space devoted to the
show being fairly crowded almost con-
stantly throughout the six days. The
attendance included practically every-
body interested in flowers in the vicin-
ity of San Francisco, and a good num-
ber of growers and florists from up and
down the coast. "Without indulging in
superlatives, it may safely be said that,
in extent, variety and merit of exhibits,
and in the manner in wiiich most of
them were staged, the show compared
well with any similar event ever held
in the west. Several of the entries
were exhibited here for the first time
and many of them were of remarkably
high quality. The Pacific Coast Horti-
cultural Society and the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America cooperated to
add interest to the affair.

General Arrangement.

Chrysanthemums, now at their best,
were naturally the central feature and
were suitably located around the palms
under the central dome of the Palace
of Horticulture, where they had plenty
of space. These exhibits included some
magnificent flowers, probably never
surpassed anywhere. The large room
at the entrance to the building was
used for dahlias, begonias, annuals,
etc. While the dahlias were past their
prime, some fine flowers were shown,
including many seedlings of great in-
terest. Also the seedling tuberous be-
gonias were exceptionally fine. An-
other large room opening off the cen-
tral rotunda was used for the exhibits
of orchids, cyclamens, palms, ferns, etc.

Awards on Mums.

Of the special prizes for cut chry-
santhemums, the highest honors rested
with the Lynch Nursery Co., of Menlo
Park, which took the silver cup of the
Chrysanthemum Society of America,
for the ten blooms of one variety on
long stems; also the gold medal in the
"Wells-Totty contest for three blooms
of Earl Kitchener; the Dreer prize for
six blooms, any one white variety on
long stem; the first Elmer D. Smith
prize for six blooms, two white, two
yellow and two pink, staged in sepa-
rate vases, and the H, F. Michell gold
medal for twelve mums, one flower of
each variety. P. Ellings, of this com-
pany, also took the silver medal of the
National Association of Gardeners for
six blooms in six varieties in one vase.
Among the other special awards were:

HitchiDgs & Co. prize for six vases chrysanthe-
tncms, six varieties, three blooms each — Sliver
cup to T. Etow, of San Mateo.

Wells-Totty prizes— Silver medal to C. R.

varieties— First, J. B. Smith; second, Geo. A.
Pope. ,

Collection twelve varieties annuals — FHrst,
J. B. Smith; second, Geo. A. Pope.

Dahlias and Begonias.

The dahlia exhibits, though perhaps
not so fine on the average as those
shown in September, were highly cred-
itable for this time of year. Among
the most notable entries were those
of Miss Euth C. Gleadell, of 6151
Geary street, San 'Francisco, the Bessie
Boston Dahlia Farm, of San Mateo, and
the productions of Wm. Kettlewell, en-
tered under the name of George A.
Pope. In addition to the prizes sched-
uled in this division, the Bessie Bos-
ton Dahlia Farm received a special
award on -its excellent exhibit of col-
larette dahlias, of which a great num-
ber were shown. Another special prize,
for a large collection of seedling
dahlias, was awarded to Fenton's
Dahlia Farm, of 771 Buena Vista ave-
nue.

The exhibits of tuberous begonias,
though few in number of entries, were
large and varied, and received fully
as much attention as any other feature
of the show. Henry E. Bothin, a pri-
vate grower of Ross, had probably the
best and most interesting begonia ex-
hibit ever shown in San IVancisco, all
his own seedlings. The Vallance Nur-
sery Co., taking second prize, also had
a nice exhibit.

While almost the only exhibitor of
orchids was J. A. Carbone, of Berkeley,
it can hardly be said that the show was
deficient in orchids. He brought out
the largest collection ever staged in
this city, and the display received
high commendation, both for the flow-
ers and the arrangement. Mr. Carbone
received all the first prizes.

ver medal. Frank R. Clark, of the
Blossom Shop, on Haight street, took
the bronze medal, for a beautiful mini-
ature reproduction of the Tower of
Jewels in chrysanthemums.

The silver medal for bridal bouquet
went to Pelicano, Rossi & Co., who
also took the silver medal for basket,
main feature chrysanthemums, to be
kept in good condition throughout the
show, the bronze medal in this going to
Mrs. R. H. Grey.

For most artistically arranged basket
of cut flowers, to be kept in good condi-

BUSINESS EMBABSASSMENTS.

Baltimore, Md. — William F. Stone
was appointed receiver October 20 for
the Franklin Davis Nursery Co., 1 North
Paca street, after the company had
been adjudicated a bankrupt with its
consent. The petition to have the com-
pany adjudicated a bankrupt was filed
by Samuel Burk and Joseph E. White,
both of Mitchellville, Md., and both
employees of the company, with claims
of $963.14 and $7,352.21, respectively,
and the estate of Rufus Woods, for
rentals, $676.50. The answer of the
company admitting its inability to pay
its debts and consenting to be declared
bankrupt was signed by Joseph Davis,
president. The petition for the ap-
pointment of a receiver was filed by
the Western National Bank, to which
the company owes $30,000. Among the
assets of the company were orders ag-
gregating $12,000. The receiver will
continue the business until a trustee
is selected.

PROLONGING A FEVEBFEW CROP.

Will you tell us how to have a con-
tinuous supply of feverfew! We grow
nice feverfew, but it all blooms about
June 1 and by August 10 it is all over;
yet we see it in the market as late as
October 10. We should like to know
how to grow it so as to have a late
crop. L. M. S. & C. — Del.

Sow the feverfew outdoors, or start
it in a coldframe and plant outdoors.
A fair proportion will come double, but
not all. If you are able, under your
present arrangements, to secure a crop
until August 10, after that the seed-
lings, if started in April, would be
ready to finish the season. Feverfew,
however, is not much in favor through
the summer. It has a disagreeable
odor, and there are other more desir-
able flowers in season, such as asters,
which are much more salable. C. W.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

PLAIN OE FANCY. '

Now Is the Time to Decide.

Thanksgiving is one of the days that
give the florist his best chance to use
his daily papers — it is a day on which
a few flowers might well be purchased
by everyone well enough to do to have
a holiday dinner-; certainly by every-
one who has guests to dinner.

Now is the time to get ready. Don 't
put it off. Plan the advertising now,
but first plan something to advertise.
No use advertising ' ' Flowers for Sale. ' '
Give your readers a definite idea.

You can run a plain or fancy ad, as
you elect, but the idea in the ad is more
important. .For instance, of the two
advertisements reproduced herewith, the
less elaborate got its message across
just as surely as the fancy one. (Each
is reproduced one-fourth its original
size.) Here are the words of Johnston
Bros., Providence:

"We are enclosing sample of one of
the advertisements that we used last
Thanksgiving, from which we got good
results. Wo thought that it might help
some of the other florists in pushing the
business for Thanksgiving. We also

Plan something now. Push baskets

case do something besides keeping the
store open to increase your sales.

MB. BATTLE'S LATEST.

The Art Vase Shop.

Last April the Art Vase Shop was
opened in Philadelphia by H. H. Bat-
tles. The enterprise is unique, for no-
where in the country is there a shop
like it. Mr. Battles owns and operates
three shops on Twelfth street, below
Chestnut street — his own flower shop,
where the finest flowers are offered and
appropriately arranged; the Century
Flower Shop, where the stock is chosen
with -the aim of offering good value and
where everything displayed is priced;
the Art Vase Shop.

The handsome show window of the
Art Vase Shop usually contains one or

two styles of vases or distinct makes
of pottery, selected with thought as to
their size, form, color and general ef-
fect. In its way, this window is more
striking than a well arranged florists'
window because of the unusual opportu-
nity it affords for attracting the atten-
tion of those passing on the street. The
interior of the Art Vase Shop is large
and commodious; the ceilings are high,
the light unusually good, and every
natural advantage has been utilized.
The first glance over the store is sug-
gestive of beauty and brightness, a
kaleidoscope of soft color carefully pre-
pared to feast the eye. Closer inspec-
tion reveals a wonderful selection of
artistic treasures. Vases, every one of
them. Vases from the Orient, vases
from sunny Italy, vases from England,
from France and from Germany — vases
from all parts of our own great coun-
try. No effort has been spared, no time
grudged and no money stinted in gath-
ering these vases. You feel instinctively
that the work of a master hand is here
before you. For could any ordinary,
everyday mind imagine the possibili-
ties of vasest Could any ordinary,
everyday energy have gathered this col-
lection?

Vases Like Pictures.

But what are the possibilities in
vasest Perhaps some idea of them may
be gleaned from the progress already
made. A beautiful floral gift is selected
for a debutante's tea, a gift expressive
of simplicity and beauty in flowers.
This floral offering is as incomplete
without a suitable vase as a picture
without a frame. The simile of the
picture without a frame applies exactly
to such a floral gift. The flowers may
be lost without a vase of daintiness,
form and color to set them off. Then,
too, the vase is valued for its own
sake and for its memories long after
■ the occasion.

The study of vases is as complex and
as full of refinement and taste as the
study of pictures. The variety is as
great. It seems, as the eye wanders
over the shop, as though the old adage
of as many minds as men might have
here read as many vases. For original-
ity is the aim of the Art Vase Shop.
It is not desired to have twelve of a
kind, or six vases alike, but rather that
each gift, each purchase should be as
original as possible. Suppose, for in-
stance, that the iridescent glass vase
now so popular happens to occur to sev-
eral persons for the same teas. They
all go to the Art Vase Shop to select
their gift, and are all pleased, each and
every one of them, that their owfi par-
ticular selection displays originality,
instead of being so much like someone
else's that no one could possibly tell
them apart.

The arrangement of the Art Vase
Shop is extremely interesting. Certain
potteries are here and are given places
to themselves. Harmony and form,
contrast in color and their opposites ap-

pear with sufficient frequency to rivet
attention. Occasionally a plant or
flower shows the purpose of the vase
and varies the effect. The center of
the shop is occupied by a tall glass
vase filled with snapdragons. This vase
is set in a glass, water-filled bowl, so
broad and low as to resemble a minia-
ture lake, with a few sprays of foliate
and flowers floating on its surface. It
is interesting to know that these minia-
ture lakes furnish sufficient moisture to
the air to prolong the life of the flowers
in the water-filled vase above.

Objects of Virtu.

Last summer a mezzanine floor was
added to the Art Vase Shop. This floor
contains many interesting objects, in-
cluding a collection of Indian vases
and another from a far western pot-
tery. The effect from the top of the
stairway looking down on the shop, be-
low is even more striking than the one
from the doorway.

Many vases are selected expressly

for their color, color that is either beau-
tiful in itself or beautiful in its perfect
harmony with some flower. Its fitness
for this particular flower also depends
on form and depth. The possibilities of
decorative art in pottery may be faint-
ly imagined from a comparison of the
work on different vases of the same

est praise. Yet it sank into second
place when compared with another that
was a work of genius. The compara-
tive values of these two vases, while
lost on the uninitiated, are quickly seen

The values of the vases on display
Tan from trifling to large amounts.
Nearly all were intended for utility as
well as for beauty, though some were

only ornamental. Their makes ran
through every known material and com-
bination of materials susceptible to fine
artistic finish. Some, such as copper-
colored glass, are so cunningly devised
that they trap the unwary into think-
ing them metal. The practical lesson
that one learns in vases is that no pot-
tery of plain earthenware is water-
proof without shellac or some kindred
preparation inside.

fully? Would I have to irrigate. the
landf I wish to plant an acre of
peonies if they can be grown profitably,
but I have not seen any in my vicinity.

C. L. B.— Tex.

In my opinion the Texas summers are
too dry and too ht)t for growing
peonies successfully. I have had good
peonies, but not enough of them to be
profitable. The land would have to be
irrigated, especially in the vicinity of
Austin.

It would seem that peonies would
grow more successfully in the coast
country than in central Texas. I would
not advise any Texas florist to try to
grow peonies for profit. There are
some varieties better than others, but
none are successful in Texas.

T. J. Wolfe.

THE BEST PEONIES.

Will you please give us the name of
the. best peony in each color for cut
flower purposes for bur home trade!
We had intended using P. festiva for
white. Also, is it permitted to use
nursery stock for local delivery with-
out first having it inspected by the
state? S. & S.— Ohio.

While-' it is difficult to name the
•"best" peony, if I were restricted to
one in each color I would say the four
best commercial peony varieties would
lae Mme. de Verneville, white; deli-
oatissima, light pink; Modesto Guerin,
•deep pink; Felix Crousse, clear red.

No one is allowed, in any of our
■states, to sell nursery stock which has
not been favorably passed upon by the
•state examiner. W. A. Peterson.

PLANTING IBISES AND PEONIES.

I am going to plant 100,000 irises this
fall and should like to know how deep
to set them, and how far apart. What
fertilizer should be used, and how
much? I should also like to get the
same information about peonies.

E. M. D.— Va.

You do not state what variety of iris
j^ou have. If it is I. Germanica, cover
the stools three inches. The plants can
:go in nursery rows twenty-four inches
apart, allowing twelve inches between
the plants, or, if you are to use horse
•cultivation, run the rows three to three
and one-half feet apart if you can spare
the ground. Or you can plant four
rows a foot apart, and then leave a
path of twenty-four or thirty inches for
liand cultivation. Allow I. Kaempferi,
the Japanese iris, twenty-four inches
between the plants and thirty-six
inches between the rows. Bulbous
irises, such as Hispanica and Anglica,
<!an go six inches apart in the rows. If
in beds three feet wide, you can plant
seven rows. Cover these four inches
^eep.

Cover the eyes of the peonies four
inches deep. Allow twenty-four inches
between the plants and a yard between

the rows. For both irises and peonies
well decayed cow or horse manure is
the best fertilizer. If this is unprocur-
able, use a good potato fertilizer, with
some bone added for. the irises, German
and Japanese, and the peonies. The
bulbous irises will do better if you can
use pulverized sheep manure. Use
twelve cords of manure per acre if you
can spare it. If you use commercial
fertilizer, apply 1,500 pounds per acre,
of a high-grade article. Apply part
now and work the balance into the soil
in the spring. 0. W.

SOWINa IBIS AND PEONY SEEDS.

Will you kindly let me know through
The Review when to sow German iris
and peony seed? E. M. — Wis.

Sow the German iris seeds when ripe,
in pans or flats of sandy loam in a
coldf rame or cold greenhouse. The
seeds germinate irregularly. Peony
seeds can be sown in a prepared bed
outside before freezing weather. Do
not let the seeds become too dry be-
fore sowing. If you have only a small
number of seeds, pans or flats would be
preferable. The seeds usually do not
germinate until the second year. It
takes three or four years after that be-
fore any flowers appear. C. W.

WILL THESE SUIT HEB?

A customer wishes us to get her a
peony of the following description:
American Beauty in color and of rose
type, with wide petals, and as double
as possible. Can you tell us what one
to order for her? P. G. — la.

Try Paeonia rubra superba, or Louis
Van Houtte. C. W.

MOBE ABOUT BLUE HYDBANGEAS.

The discussion on how to make
hydrangeas blue, begun in The Eeview
of October 14, page 68, and continued
in the issue for October 21, page 16,
has greatly interested me and has led
me to investigate the matter just a
little on my own account. I have con-
sulted such horticultural literature, an-
cient and modem, as I have at com-
mand, in the hope of finding some hints
on the subject. As a result I discov-
ered the following paragraph in an old
number of the Cottage Gardener, dated
August 8, 1850:

"Alum has been employed also, with
some success, to change the color of the
hydrangea's flowers from pink to blue.
About seven years ago some experi-
ments on this subject were tried in the
Chiswick Garden, and the plants sub-
mitted to the trial were exhibited in the
rooms on Eegent street. One plant,

cultivated as usual; was the most
healthy, and bore its pink flowers. An-
other, to which half an ounce of phos-
phate of iron had been administered,
was unhealthy, its leaves yellow and
its flowers small but pink. A third
plant, treated with half an ounce of
caustic potash, had a similar appear-
ance. But a fourth hydrangea, to which
half an ounce of alum had been given,
produced blue flowers. The quantity,
however, was excessive, for the plant
was weakly and the flowers small. Mr.
Beaton flnds that the best mode of ob-
taining blue hydrangeas is by rooting
cuttings of them in February, and pot-
ting them in loam with which iron fll-
ings have been mixed."

21, w.e wish to corroborate his state-
ment as to the use of muck or rotted
peat for making hydrangea flowers
blue. Here, in Florida, we have chiefly
a mucky soil for pot plants, or, at
least, a soil full of humus from rotted
leaves and grasses. Our hydrangeas of
Otaksa type are always intensely blue,
never pink. However, if the plants are

left in the soil for several years and
merely given chemical fertilizers on
the surface, without any fresh soil, the
flowers gradually turn pink, for. the
humus substance has become exhausted.
This is a fact of long experience with
us, and may be of some benefit to those
growing hydrangeas in the north.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Shading.

The season is now sufficiently ad-
vanced so that much of the shading of
a removable nature can be washed from
the cattleya house. Of course we shall
still have days when the sun will be
quite hot and it would be a great mis-
take to remove everything at once.
This would be harmful unless the plants
were in houses glazed with ground glass,
which for some months will now break
the sun's rays sufficiently. Be careful,
however, not to expose any plants in
flower to the direct sun, or they will
become badly scorched. These latter
should be stood at one end of the house,
where they can be shaded and kept
somewhat cooler.

Cypripediums will still need shade;
in fact, it is a mistake to ever clean
the glass entirely where these are grow-
ing, if foliage of a good dark green
color is needed.

Watering.

The idea that cattleyas needed a long
period of drying up each season in or-
der to grow and flower them success-
fully has been pretty well exploded.
They are better kept a little drier after
the flowering season has passed, and
after repotting, but more harm than
good is done by allowing them to go
long periods without water. It may be
true that in their native habitats they
have long spells of drought annually,
but these are always modified by heavy
night dews, which prevent excessive
shriveling. As a matter of fact, cat-
tleyas do better under glass if grown
on almost continually. This is specially
true of hybrids, many of which produce
two sets of growths and give two crops
of flowers a year, and which need no
resting at all.

All watering should now be done in
the morning and also any syringing, so
that the plants will be free from mois-
ture at nightfall. On dull days little
or no watering should be needed and,
of course, daily waterings are no longer
necessary. Twice a week should suf-
fice for cattleyas in ordinary weather.
Later in the year this may be still

further reduced. In sunless weather
little watering is needed.

Ventilation. •

Cattleyas, above all orchids, are im-
patient of tightly closed ventilators.
They love and must have air. There
are but few days in the year when
either bottom or top ventilation cannot
be given. Avoid high temperatures; 60
degrees at 7 a. m. is better than 65
degrees. Never mind if the minimum
falls to 55 degrees, while in midwinter
even lower than this will do no harm.
The results of a too high and close at-
mosphere for cattleras are soon seen in
roots hanging outside the receptacles,
rather than penetrating the compost.
The unthinking applaud these aerial
roots, but they are a sign of distress
in cattleyas. It will always be noticed
that bulbs on such plants have a more
or less shriveled appearance and bloom
unsatisfactorily compared with others.

at our autumn shows without it! It
flowers with wonderful freedom from
even small bulbs. It brings the most
satisfactory prices early and late in the
season. A few manage to hold some
until Christmas, when the highest prices
of the year are always obtainable. It
is unfortunate that this cattleya be-
comes more expensive each year, the
plants also becoming smaller. If some
enterprising specialist would start in
cross fertilizing extra good Cattleya
labiata, save the seed and- go into the
raising of seedlings by the thousands,
he would undoubtedly get a good divi-
dend on his outlay. These, like other
seedlings, would need practically no
resting. They would not improbably
produce two crops of flowers annually
and would possess far greater vigor
than the collected stock, but cattleya
seedlings take an average of five to
six years to flower. Of course, some
bloom earlier, but only a minority, and
it seems a long time to wait for re-
turns.

For exhibition purposes it is nice to
have plants of good size, but for com-
mercial purposes it is better to grow
plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots, with
two or three leads, than in those of
larger size.

CATTLEYA LABLA.TA.

COLD STORAGE aiOANTEXTMS.

I should like to know of the best and
most successful way of treating cold
storage giganteum bulbs. Should they
be potted and put in a cellar in the
dark for a root growth, as are other
bulbs f How long a period must elapse
from potting time until they bloom f
What temperature is required for themf

M. E. H.— Tenn.

It takes from ten to sixteen weeks
to flower the cold storage giganteum
lilies, according to the season. They
like a good heat all the time, not less
than 60 degrees at night. While they
can be stood below benches or in a
cellar to start, this is not necessary and
they will start just as well on a green-
house bench. These cold storage bulbs
start to grow quickly compared with
fresh stock. C. W.

DAMPING OF CARNATION BUDS.

We are sending you some samples of
diseased carnations. Please tell us what
is the matter and what to do for it.

J. H. C— Mich.

The damping of your carnation buds
was most likely caused by the unusually
wet weather experienced this summer
and fall. Perhaps, also, you have
sprayed overhead more than was neces-
sary. There might also be present some
of the carnation mite, which you will
be able to exterminate by the use of
nicotine, used as directed on the con-
tainers. I would suggest, further, that
you paint a steam pipe in each house
with lime and sulphur mixed with

water. Give all the ventilation possible
and the trouble should disappear in due
time. A. F. J. B.

IMPERFECT BUDS AND FOLIAGE.

I am sending you some of my carna-
tions for examination. The buds seem
to be empty, although the stems con-
tinue growing and look healthy. Some
time ago I noticed that the leaves of
the new growth seemed to stick to-
gether and did not unfold properly. I
sprayed with nicotine and have nearly
overcome that trouble, but some of the
foliage is light-colored and spotted.

with your carnations. The blasting of
those buds, earlier in the season, might
have been caused by the check in trans-
planting, coupled with the summer heat.
The fact that it is disappearing indi-
cates that it was probably of a tempo-
rary nature and was caused in the man-
ner suggested. I notice that only a
ftortion of the buds submitted are hol-
ow, about half of them seeming to be

normal. Those few light spots are
caused by the disease called stigmonose,
which is especially prevalent among
the Enchantress varieties. Selection of
the cuttings is the only sure remedy
for this. Moderate, common-sense cul-
ture will help, of course, to curb it.
Do not overfeed or overwater while
the weather is dark and cloudy, during
the winter months. A. F. J. B.

H008IEBS HOLD OUTING.

STOBINQ BOSE PLANTS.

We read with interest, in The Re-
view of September 16, page 18, C. W.'s
reply to an inquiry with reference to
the storing of rose plants, and we no-
ticed there the statement that "field-
grown hybrid perpetuals and hybrid
teas should be lifted and pricked in
damp soil, not in sand." In our storage
house we have a fine sand that is used
by molders, and in this we heel roses.
Will C. W. inform us whether it would
be advisable to take this sand out and
replace it with soilf

W. J. G. S.— Ont.

While the roses would keep fairly
well in this sand, I would prefer soil.
Molders' sand, if damp, would keep
the roots of roses and other plants in
much better condition than sand of a
coarser nature. You could use this sand
in which to pack many partially tender
perennials, such as Anemone Japonica,
t r i 1 0 m a s , mbntbretias, incarvilleas,
rehmannias, etc. It would also be good
for the packing of lily bulbs. In a dry
condition, tuberous begonias and glox-
inias would keep well in it. C. W.

BEING BUINED BT MILDEW.

Please tell me how to keep mildew
off Killarney and Richmond roses, here
in northern Tennessee. When the tem-
perature in the houses is 75 degrees at
night, would you turn steam on, and
how much? How should the ventilators
be arranged! Please state just how to
run the houses at night. Our roses
were formerly in fine condition, but the
mildew is now ruining them. We have
a great deal of' this sort of trouble each
spring and fall. J. 8. — ^Tenn.

It is not advisable to turn steam into
the rose houses when the temperature
is 75 degrees at night, unless the air
in the houses is too damp. The venti-
lators under such conditions should be
wide open, unless it is raining, and
«veo in that case they should be as far
open as possible.

Mildew is probably the hardest of all
troubles to fight, especially in such a
year as the present one. The best way
to prevent it is to keep the plants in
good growing condition all the time.
Give them plenty of air from the ridge
of the house. If there are side ventila-
tors on the house, use them only in hot
days. Keep the temperature as near
60 degrees as possible at night and have
some tmlphur on the heating pipes at
all times. In clear weather, dust some
dry sulphur on the foliage while the
sun is shining; this will help to dry up
the mildew. W. J. K.

THBIPS ON BEAUTY BOSES.

Under separate cover we are mailing
you a number of blighted American
Beauty rose buds. Please tell us what
is the matter with them and the rem-
edy. Our Sunbursts are affected the
same way, but no other varieties grown
in the same field. Many blooms are
perfect and come on at the same time
as those that are affected. Gould it
be possible that our bushes are trying
to produce too many blooms at one
timet We have not been disbudding.

T. S. C— Ariz.

The rose buds were badly withered
by the time they reached me, but 1
feel confident in stating that the trou-
ble was caused by thrips. If you will
take one of the. buds and submit it to
a microscopical examination, you will
find it contains several tiny white
thrips. These thrips seem to prefer
Beauties to almost any other kind of
rose. The best remedy is a light mix-
ture of Paris green and sugar, with wa-
ter, sprayed on the plants every eve-
ning. The idea of the sugar is to at-
tract the insects by its sweetness and
the Paris green will poison them.
These tiny thrips can be observed out-
side by the million on such plants as
daisies and rudbeckias, and from these
plants they are carried into the green-
house by the wind.

Chas. H. Totty.

Lima, O. — The school board has ac-
cepted the proposal of the Zetlitz Floral
Co. for planting shrubs, privets and
perennials on the grounds surrounding
the high school and Franklin buildings.

Meet at Bichmond.

Of all the visits around the common-
wealth, there is perhaps none that is
looked forward to with greater antici-
pation than the annuar outing of the
State Florists' Association of Indiana
at Richmond. There is always so much
of interest and there is always waiting
such a whole-souled welcome, that one
always feels repaid in large measure.
The visit November 2 was no exception
and the largest crowd that has been
seen on one of these excursions made a
full day of it. They came from all
directions by train, trolley and auto-
mobile. Everybody arrived in good
time and practically, everyone stayed
the full day.

The crowd assembled at the estab-
lishment of the E. G. Hill Co., our
Indianapolis party of some twenty-five
alighting at the station just alongside
the place. Quite a time was spent in-
specting the many houses of roses, car-
nations and mums, with the mums in
the ascendency just at this time. Note-
books were in evidence everywhere and
I imagine there will be a lively call in
the spring for some of the varieties.
Most of the exhibition blooms were cut
and in cold storage, being held for the
Cleveland and Chicago shows. Judging
by those still left on the plants, there
will be some tall competition going on
at these places next week.

Hills' Mums.

We noticed fine specimens of Odessa,
Mrs. J. C. Neill, H. E. Converse, Meu-
don, Mrs. G. Drabble, Wm. Turner and
Glenview in exhibition varieties, be-
sides bench after bench of Nagoya,
Bonnaffon, Chieftain, Eaton and Yellow
Eaton. There are few growers who do
the Eatons as well as they are done
here, so it is no wonder they grow them
in such quantity, some 10,000 being
benched. White Chieftain, which is
proclaimed a worthy successor to Mrs.
Rager, also is grown in immense quan-
tity and fine quality. There is a yellow
seedling which is being touted to dis-
place Bonnaffon, a deep golden yellow
flower the size of a good Bonnaffon and
a true incurved.

There is a fine array of pompon varie-
ties, such as Golden Climax, Souv. de
Melaine, Helen Newberry, Fairy Queen^
Pink Beauty, Croesus and Qolden Plume.
Here again a white seedling is in evi-
dence, a pure white, round bloom, borne
in great profusion. The name on. the
label was Mary Anna. In singles we
noticed Dorothy Duggan, which is an
early and improved Mensa. Mensa and
Golden Mensa, Buckingham and other
singles are grown in quantity. We note
a tendency toward selecting a few of
the Ifest varieties, to be grown in quan-
tity, rather than a long list of varieties
in small blocks. This is a step in the
right direction, as many of the varieties
offered to the trade have been entirely
too flimsy to be of commercial value.

The Boses and Carnations.

In the rose houses we noticed many
beds of Hoosier Beauty, of which some
10,000 plants are benched. So firm is
the confidence in this sort that all other
red roses have been practically dis-
carded. One needs only to look over
these beds to cease wondering why.
Ophelia, which was distributed two
years ago, is doing as well as ever and

received only praise from every side.
Tipperary is a new yellow of clear color.
The flower is medium in size and pro-
duced in great profusion. Baby Doll is
a most beautiful and unique combina-
tion of colors. It reminds one of Mme.
Watteville, and still it is brighter,
more like Mihe. Cusin or Mrs. Pierpont
Morgan. I predict for this rose a great
demand for corsage work. Lady Alice
Stanley is proving a fine forcing rose,
of a beautiful, clear pink shade. Of
great interest to many were the outdoor
cutting frames, sash after sash full of
cuttings, rooting and rooted. The Kil-
larneys and Ward are of course being
grown as usual, except that the quantity
has been reduced to make way for the
newer sorts.

In carnations there are the standard
sorts, such as White Wonder, Pink De-
light, Enchantress, Enchantress Su-
preme, Mrs. Ward, Beacon, Champion,
Gloriosa, Pocahontas and Matchless,
also Alice, Good Cheer and Pink Sensa-
tion. Alice Coombs, which will be dis-
seminated to the trade this season, oc-
cupies two full benches and is begin-
ning to throw some fine blooms. I no-
ticed a scarlet seedling with that fiery
glow every breeder delights to see. The
out-back section is full of cuttings
ready to go into the sand.

At Other Places.

From here we went to the establish-
ment of the Chas. Knopf Floral Co.,
where Wm. Weaver is in charge. Only
cut flowers are grown here, of roses
and carnations. A house of Beacon is
about as fine as I have ever seen this
variety this early. White Enchantress
is their favorite white and Pink Delight
and Enchantress Supreme divide the
space allotted to the pinks. Both are
doing finely. Some trouble has been
experienced with the rose soil, but Mr.
Weaver is getting it remedied, as is
shown by the plants that have been
benched in the new soil.

At Geo. R. Gause's a general retail
business is being carried on and a more
varied line of plants is grown. More
carnations than usual have been
benched and all are doing well. Only
one house of roses is being grown, as it
is easy to get all the roses needed.' I
noted some excellent sweet peas.

At Fred Lemon's place we saw two
fine houses of roses, mostly the Killar-
neys and Ophelia, also a nice bench of
Mrs. Ward. The carnations are espe-
cially good, though only a few varieties
are being ^own. A general line of
retail stock is grown, to supply the
uptown store. A house of geranium
stock is in prime condition.

Edward Ruch is another retailer who
has been coming along the last few
years, until now he uses more than he
can grow in his 10,000 feet of glass.
Mr. Ruch is known as an especially suc-
cessful violet grower.

Fulle Bros, were the last visited, but
not the least interesting. There are
geraniums and more geraniums, these
being their specialty. They certainly

grow lots of them and grow them well,
ne order of 180,000 is claiming their
attention just now.

The John A. Evans Co. plant was vis-
ited and many saw for the first time
where the ventilating machines in their
houses were manufactured. The alumi-
num salt sprayer was much in evidence.
The Advance Co., right across the
way, which manufactures a similar line
of apparatus, also was visited and

showed many interesting things in col-
umn brackets, fittings, etc.

Dinner and Meeting.

We always are treated to a good din-
ner at Richmond and this one was no
exception. Eighty-eight sat down and
were fed untU they cried for mercy.
The meeting which followed dinner was
interesting and some important action
was taken. Several new members were
added to the roll, bringing it up to over
150. A resolution was offered providing
for associate membership, for anyone
outside the borders of the state who
wishes to become attached to the asso-
ciation. Final action is to be taken at
the December meeting. A committee
was appointed to represent the associa-
tion in the arrangements for the In-
diana centeujiial, which is to be cele-
brated in 1'916. The secretary was in-
structed to renew the invitation which
was extended the American Carnation
Society, to hold its 1917 convention in
Indianapolis.

The next meeting of the State So-
ciety is to be held in Fort Wayne,
December 7. A. F. J. Baur.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

The demand is unusually good and
stock is scarce. Chrysanthemums, roses
and carnations are the main sellers, and
they are moving along freely. Pompons
are becoming more plentiful, owing to
the bright weather of the last few
days. Roses are bringing from $4 to $8
per hundred, according to quality. Car-
nations are decidedly scarce and are
selling from $3 to $4 per hundred. A
few violets are coming into the market
and are quoted at $1 per hundred.

Plants are selling well, especially
chrysanthemums and Boston ferns.
The Christmas stock of several of the
prominent concerns, such as poinsettias,
cyclamens and begonias, is exception-
ally fine and, as the azaleas from Bel-
gium have arrived, they have every
assurance of having plenty of stock for
the fall and Christmas trade. Every-
one is looking forward to a brisk fall
trade, as business in general has been
picking up considerably for the last
three weeks.

Various Notes.

Under the auspices of the Minneap-
olis Florists' Club, an evening school
for the young men of the trade seeking
knowledge in all the different branches
was organized October 28 and will meet
hereafter at the Central high school.
There will be lectures and papers by
the older men in the trade. The first
lecture of the series will be given No-
vember 4 by C, G. Anderson, the sub-
ject being "Chrysanthemums, from the
Time of the Cutting Until They Reach
the Packing Box."

The State Florists' Society, in con-
nection with the Minneapolis Florists'
Club and the St. Paul Florists' Club,
will hold a fall flower show at the
West hotel for two days, starting De-
cember 3. A great amount of advertis-
ing is expected from this show, as every
one has a chance to display his Christ-
mas goods. Liberal prizes will be
awarded.

O. C. Swanson had a large and elab-
orate decoration at the Hotel Radisson
this week.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has had

a fine increase in business and stock is
selling closely every day. Manager C.
G. Anderson is looking forward to a
busy season.

The next regular meeting of the
Minneapolis Florists' Club is to be held
December 2, at the Park Board green-
houses, by the special invitation of
Theodore Wirth, superintendent.

Oscar Amundson is enjoying a rush-
ing business and reports it to be the
best fall trade for many ye^irs.

The Whitted Floral Co. was kept
busy this week making, up funeral
pieces for the late Mrs. Thomas Lowry.
For the Tenth street store Miss Whit-
ted has purchased a rare and beau-
tiful Chinese vase, for decorative pur-
poses, and it is causing a great amount
of comment. The vase was purchased
from a Chinese merchant here, for the
sum of $1,500. G. W. A.

KABTFOEU), CONN.

The Market.

There is plenty of stock in nearly all
lines and a good demand for it. The
supply of roses is large and all grades
are finding a ready sale. Beauties are
scarce at present. Good carnations are
now to be had and the cut of them is
steadily increasing. The supply of pink
mums is greater than the demand, but
the white and yellow mums are not
plentiful enough. Pompons are moving
well. The supply of cattleyas and gar-
denias is ample for all demands.

Various Notes.

The roses at the John Coombs place
are fine and there is a large cut of
high grade stock.

The Connecticut Horticultural Soci-
ety will hold a chrysanthemum show
November 11. It is the aim of the soci-
ety to make it the best Show ever held
by the association.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, will
exhibit at the Stamford, Oyster Bay,
Tuxedo Park, New York, Cleveland and
Chicago shows. This concern is build'
ing another house, 60x440. H. Neu-
brand is on a business trip as far west
as Denver. He will stop at Chicago
for the show.

W. Schwartz, of Gallivan Bros., Hol-
yoke, Mass., was a recent visitor to
Cromwell, spending an entire day among
his old friends. R. C. 8.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade has been only fair during the
last week. The weather has been un-
usually good and funeral work has been
light. Flowers have been more than
equal to the demand. Roses are of good
quality and carnations also are plenti-
ful, with some first-class stock avail-
able. Mums are coming in larger quan-
tities, with a fair demand. Orchids,
valley, violets and small roses for cor-
sages have had a good call.

Various Notes.

Martin Brandlein is the latest florist
to add a car for delivery purposes.

Martin Reukauf, with Bayersdorfer Ss
Co.; J. J. Earins, with H. A. Dreer,
Inc., and G. Reburn, of Henderson &

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Large quantities of stock are arriv-
ing. The warm weather last week
brought the chrysanthemums in large
supply and the same may be said of
roses and carnations. Mums are the
leaders in the market now, but the de-
mand is well up to the supply. Eoses
were in full blast last week. Large,
fine stock, with 2-foot stems, sold at $4
per hundred. Carnations also were
■old at low figures. The stock coming
into this market is of good quality,
with the exception of mums, which
seem to have deteriorated. Carnations
are more plentiful than they have been
in any previous year. Greens continue
to move and a big improvement in
quality has been noted^

Pot plants were in good demand last
week, especially chrysanthemum plants.
Cyclamens are in bloom and bring a
good price.

Various Notes.

E. H. Frandsen & Co. have their
greenhouses in fine shape. The roses
and carnations are in an excellent con-
dition. This firm has about 30,000
square feet of glass, a good part of
which is devoted to potted plants.

The department stores had large
sales of flowers October 30. Carnations
were sold for 1 cent, roses 3 cents and
ehryFanthemums 10 cents.

Halloween window displays were
nmnerous. Most of the displays con-
sisted of autumn leaves, etc.

"W. J Barnes has removed his flower
pots from the sheds to a large space be-
hind the boilers. The sheds will be
used as a storage place for fertilizers,
moss and other greenhouse necessities.

A. F. Barbe has a new icebox in his
store. It is ten feet wide, four feet
deep and seven feet high. It is made
of oak and of the latest pattern. He
has good storage facilities in his base-
ment, where stock will keep for a long
time.

The Costello-Moore Floral Co. had a
heavy run on corsage bouquets last
week. There also was a good demand
for orchids, valley and violets.

Wm. Foith is sending a large supply
of carnations of unusually fine quality
to this market. His roses and mums
also are good. He has made many im-
provements on his greenhouses and in-
tends to do more next summer.

A. Newell reports that Halloween
trade was especially good in decorating
snd corsage work.

The W. L. Bock Flower Co. had a
heavy out-of-town business last week.
The roses sent in from the green-
houses are exoellent. Fred Fromhold,
•f the store force, went to Beam lake
to Took out for the ducks.

T. J. Noll & Co. report a good run
mt business last week. Out-of-town

trade was good. A large consignment
of violets ftom California, the first of
the season, arrived in fine shape.

Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving
large quantities of carnations, roses
and mums. They report an increase in
business.

Visitors last week were Mr. Eaupp,
of Nevada, Mo., and E. L. Isherwood,
of Chillicothe, Mo. W. J. B.

The greenhouses on the estate of H. E.
Converse, of Marion, Mass., were open
to the public October 30 and 31. There
was an unusual showing of mums, prob-
ably the best in this part of the state.

W. M. P.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

The Market.

Business still is on the increase and
everyone is getting a share of it. Mums,
of course, are the most popular flowers
at this time of the year. There has
been no severe frost as yet and outdoor
violets are plentiful, but there is no
great call for them. Carnations and
roses are plentiful and of good quality.

Various Notes.

Ernest Chamberlain is doing his usual
good business, but is anxious to obtain
a stand nearer the center of the city.

The New Bedford Horticultural So-
ciety held its monthly meeting Novem-
ber 1, President Eoy presiding. Plans
for the coming show were discussed.
After the business meeting an interest-
ing talk was given by Joseph Forbes,
who recently returned from a trip to
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, where
he won several prizes for dahlias.

WOBCESTEB, MASS.

Demand was fair last week and the
indications are for a winter of good
business. Chrysanthemums are plenti-
ful now and violets have been on the
market for two weeks. Bulbs have
been in great demand.

H. F. A. Lange reports business good
and the outlook encouraging. His sale
of bulbs has greatly exceeded that of
last year and most of the stock has
been sold. Mr. Lange has had many or-
ders for wedding decorations.

Harry Eandall had distinctive win-
dow displays last week. Mr. Eandall 's
business has been good and he antici-
pates a highly profitable winter.

The Quarrey Floral Co. has opened a
small branch store on Main street.
H. L.

Pueblo, Colo. — To obtain another
outlet for his surplus stocks, G.
Fleischer has opened what he calls the
Majestic Flower Palace, next door to
the Majestic theater. Mr. Fleischer
has another store on Main street and
is a large shipper of cut . flowers to
Colorado Springs, Colo., and Wichita,
Kan.

FROM FOREIGN -I^NDS

Quedlinburg, Germany. — Word has
gone out of the death from wounds in
the war of the eldest son of the senior
partner in the widejy known horticul-
tural firm of Gebruder Dippe.

Marseilles, France. — United States
Consul General Gaulin reports that the
production of flowers in southern
France is about sixty per cent of the
usual yield and is an enormous loss to
the district. Prices have also fallen,
owing partly to the closing of several
important foreign markets.

Haarlem, Holland. — It is the general
report that hyacinths have been moving
slowly, and it is likely a good many
will be left on the hands of the growers,
but tulips may be said to have been
cleared out. Narcissi have all been sold
at comparatively better prices than any
other bulb, and there will be no sur-
plus of any except the high-priced
fancy sorts.

London, England. — Em. Draps-Bou-
dry, widely known nurseryman at Oost-
dunkerke, Belgium, now residing at
Dulwich, with the special permission
of the army authorities, was able to
visit Oostdunkerke a few weeks ago.
He states there is nothing left of his
nurseries. The greenhouses were bom-
barded months ago, and all the bricks
have been carted away for the purpose
of making roads. Mr. Draps-Boudry is
employed at the British war oflice in
London.

Paris, France.— Le Jardin, which, in
common with other European horticul-
tural journals, found the first year of
war one of many di^culties, now is is-
sued regularly as a monthly. The Octo-
ber issue gives an interesting bio-
graphical sketch of Captain Bernet, the
first grower in Europe to raise the
chrysanthemum from seed.

London, Engl3,nd.— The Horticultural
Trades' Association has done a unique
thing in raising a fund by subscription
among the trade, used for a strong ad-
vertisement appearing in many publica-
tions of general circulation, warning
the British public against patronizing
Holland firms that have been advertis-
ing extensively in England. The trades'
advertisement says in part: "With
regard to the allegation that Dutch
growers are 'suffering awfully,' it is
interesting to note that the wholesale
prices for Dutch bulbs are, generally
speaking, quite normal, and some varie-
ties are actually dearer than in ordi-
nary years. Moreover, the Dutch grow-
ers are by no means solely dependent
on English customers; in addition to
the American market, which is open to
all, they are still dealing largely with
Germany and Austria, as they are of
course fully entitled to do. The grow-
ers in Holland are comparatively well
off, as, living in a neutral country, they
are not called upon to bear the heavy
financial strain which is being cheer-
fully shouldered by British traders."

The Florists' Review

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Stock is much more plentiful than a
week ago, but the demand has kept
pace with the increase in supply. Grow-
ers of early chrysanthemums have had
the best season in years. Midseason
sorts now are coming in and are being
marketed while only half developed.
The quality of the roses is excellent and
carnationl9 are increasing rapidly. Both
valley and lilies are in good demand.

Bowling.

The Cleveland bowlers are counting
on a big tournament during the flower
show next week. November 11 is the
date. Several teams of five men, repre-
senting various cities, are expected to
enter the tournament. After the team
contest there will be bowling by indi-
viduals. Then the five high individuals
and the high man on each team will
compete for a life membership in the
S. A. F. offered by H. P. Knoble. Local
trade firms have donated a fine line of
prizes to be distributed as is customary
among bowlers. After the regular
tournament a special match game will
be played between teams representing
Buffalo and Rochester, to decide the
championship between them. In the
morning there will be a tournament for
visiting ladies, with a fine list of prizes.

BUFFALO, N. Y.

The Market.

Last week business ended in a lively
manner. The supply of stock about
equaled the demand, with the exception
of roses, which were beginning to accu-
mulate. First-class roses, however, sold

on sight. Mums are selling readilf at
a good price. White mums are scarcer
than the pinks and yellows. The eanui>
tion supply was about equal to that of
the week previous. Dahlias are be>
ginning to decrease in quantity and
they are of inferior quality. Whit*
bouvardias are in evidence and find
sales without any trouble. Greena of
all kind are moving satisfactorily.

Various Notes.

A good batch of poinsettias is to be
seen at the Robert Scott greenhouses.
These will be ready for market at
Christmas.

L. H. Neubeck, the optimistic florist,
has a fine batch of Chatelaine begonias
ready for the market.

William Ehmann, of Corfu, N. Y.,
was in town October 30. He said ke ex-
perienced no difficulty in marketing his
chrysanthemums.

The Russell rose appears to be the
favorite among the roses. Whenever a
shipment of Russells is expected, there
is sure to be a scramble on the part of
the florists to visit the consignee good
and early.

S. A. Anderson had a realistic Hal-
loween window last week.

A. J. Reichert, who recently moved
to Main and Leroy streets, says that
the new location leaves nothing to be
desired, for business has been humming
from the start.

The Bert Olney Greenhouses arc spe-
cializing in Key and Ophelia roses.

Leo Neubeck, formerly witJi his
father, will manage the Galley Bros.
flower shop on Genesee street.

TSEPEL'S BEST.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph of C. C.
Trepel 's building at Eighty-ninth street
and Broadway, the best of his fifteen
enterprises, in the best residential sec-
tion of New York, next to the Adelphi
theater, a^ opposite the million-dollar
apartment house now being erected by
Vincent Astor. Jacobs & Sons, Brook-
lyn, were the 'builders of the roof con-
servatory, 75x200, a fine structure now
filled with a large assortment of plants.
Mr. Trepel invested over $20,000 on this
venture and is spending $2,000 more on
electric signs. An elevator connects the
greenhouse with the cut flower depart-
ment. There are thirty-two employees
in this branch and Mrs. C. C. Trepel is
herself the attractive manager of the
enterprise. Mr. Trepel now has in his
chain of stores over 200 employees.

NEW YOBK.

The Market.

A cool wave arrived October 30, in
the nick of time. That is, it found the
accumulation of roses and chrysanthe-
mums excessive, the result of large
shipments and Indian summer tempera-
ture during the week. However, the
week end was favorable for the retail-
ers and the purchases Saturday were
large, with bargains numerous, espe-
cially in roses, carnations and chrysan-
themums.

The number of high grade flowers
of the autumn queen exceeds the ship-
ments of other years to date, but of the
medium and smaller arrivals there is
no surplus. Flowers that were $4 and
$5 per dozen in the old days now are
sold at $2 to $3, and of the yellow va-
rieties few last week commanded over
$1 per dozen. Therefore every retail
florist had his windows golden. Some

of the best exhibition mums touched $5
per dozen, but the fall shows are not
over, and these wUl not reach the New
York cut flower market in large num-
bers until after November 7. There are
anemones and pompons and plants
without number.

Carnations feel the competition se-
verely and prices have dropped, not-
withstanding continuous improvement
in quality. Even the best of them were
sold at $2 per hundred October 30.

Boses of every kind are abundant
and prices are barely steady at last
week's quotations. The demand for
American Beauties grows with the in-
crease in the number of dinners and
debutantes. All the new roses are
growing in popularity, but the low
grades of many of the standard varie-
ties fell to $5 per thousand last week,
although for the most of these $1 per
hundred was asked. Orchids are abun-
dant and prices stationary. Cattleyas
find their top at 35 cents and cypripe-
diums at 10 cents to 12 cents. Lilies
do not go above $6 per hundred and
valley must be good to realize half this
quotation. Callas are arriving, but only
in limited numbers. Dahlias have felt
the chilling hand of frost and few are
left. Now come the sweet peas and
the violets, the latter improving rapid-
ly in quality and seemingly in popu-
larity. Autumn foliage is in wide de-
mand.

The Country Life Show.

The first of the series of flower shows
to be held in connection with the Coun-
try Life Permanent Exposition at the
Grand Central Terminal building, held
November 1 and 2, went far beyond
expectations. C. H. Totty's lecture on
hardy chrysanthemums was largely at-
tended, by society ladies, members of
garden clubs, gardeners and florists.
The exhibitors all were private garden-
ers. There were twelve competitors for
the two prizes offered for table decora-
tions of chrysanthemums. First went
to David Francis, gardener to Mrs.
Charles Bradley, Convent Station, N. J.;
second to Budolph Heidkamp, gardener
to Mrs. Pauline Boellger, Biverdale,

TSAENDLT GIVEN TIME.

The annual banquet of the New
York Wholesale Florists' Protective
Association was held at the Hotel Bres-
lin October 28 and was a great success.
To the committee in charge, A. H. Lang-
jahr, P. J. Smith and William P. Ford,
credit is due for the able manner in
which all details were arranged. The
banquet room was tastefully decorated
with autumn leaves and yellow chrys-
anthemums and on the large table was
a centerpiece of Hoosier Beauty roses.
Each member wore a gardenia bouton-
niere. A fine musical program added
to the enjoyment of the repast.

Coffee and cigars being served, P. J.
Smith introduced Walter F. Sheridan
as master of ceremonies, who ably offi-
ciated, as might be expected of him.
He first called upon Frank H. Traendly,
president of the association, and to the
great surprise of that gentleman, pro-
ceeded to pass sentence upon him for
all the good he had done for the asso-
ciation during the eight years he has
been at its head. After compelling his
attention until everything in the way
of nice things had been said of him, he
presented him, on behalf of the associa-
tion, with a beautiful gold clock and
candelabra to match, as a token of the
appreciation in which he was held by
his fellow-members, and of his faithful
service as their presiding officer.

Mr, Traendly, who for once in his
life was taken completely unawares,
upon recovering his composure, first as-
sured himself that the clock was run-
ning on time and was in good working
order, then feelingly expressed his
thanks, and those of Mrs. Traendly, for
the testimonial, promising to use his
best endeavors to still further advance
the interests of the association and to
continue its efficiency.

Each member present added a few
words of appreciation to those of the
toastmaster, and, it might be said, in-
creased the discomfiture of the gentle-
man under sentence.

After these proceedings, a special

meeting of the association was held, at
which much enthusiasm over the suc-
cess of the organization was evinced
and many suggestions were made look-
ing to a further extension of its work.
The impression prevailed that there
could be no better organized body of
business men today than that found in
the New York Wholesale Florists' Pro-
tective Association, whose only aim is
to improve, if possible, the wholesale
market conditions in New York, and to
advance and protect the interests of its
members in every way. The secretary-
manager. Ward W. Smith, was ^al^o
warmly commended for the able manner
in which he had fulfilled the duties of
his office. At the close, announcement
was made that Mr. Traendly had that
day been appointed a member of the
Society of American Florists' commit-
tee on national credits and collections
bureau.

THE INTEENATIONAL SHOW.

Five months may seem a long period
to those of us who are not engaged in
preparations for the next International
Flower Show, to be held at New York,
April 5 to 12, but to the men who are
working like beavers to make the 1916
show overshadow all previous shows,
this time seems to be all too short. With
monthly meetings and a division of the
general committee into subcommittees,
the work of preparation is well ad-
vanced; but with the idea, with which
the workers are imbued, that the next
show must present new features, new
ideas, and, above all, show proguess
from an expositional point of view, five
months for further preparation is a pe-
riod all too small.

The idea of the rose garden, so well
carried out at the show last spring,
bids fair to become a most important
feature of the next show, for the reason
that the premiums offered are on a most
liberal basis and sufficiently attractive
to insure six or more exhibits in the
class set apart for displays of this kind.
Just think of it — six rose gardens!

The rock garden, a much cherished
institution on the other side of the
water and an object of curiosity to
many of our budding iiortiealturists, is

NEW YORK.

The Market.

A cM(d \\a\e ani\ed October ."iO, in
the nick of time. That is, it found the
accumulation of roses and chrysantlie-
mums excessive, the result of large
shii)ments and Indian summer tempera-
ture during the week. However, the
week end was favorable for the retail-
ors and the purchases Saturday were
large, witli bargains numerous, espe-
cially in roses, carnations and clirysan-
themums.

The number of hij^li grade fiowers
of the autumn queen exceeds the ship-
ments of other years to date, but of the
medium and smaller arrivals there is
no surplus. Flowers that were .$1 and
$5 per dozen in the old days now are
sold at .*L' to $;'•, and of the yellow va-
rieties few last week commanded over
$1 ]ier dozen. Therefore every retail
florist had liis windows ijoldeii. Some

of the best exhibition mums touched $5
per dozen, but the fall shows are not
over, and these will not reach the New
York cut flower market in large num-
bers until after November 7. There are
anemones and pompons and plants
without number.

Carnations feel the competition se-
verely and prices have dropped, not-
withstanding continuous improvement
in quality. Even the best of them were
sohl at $2 per hundred October 30.

and prices are barely steady at last

growing in pojiularity, but the low

although for the most of these $1 per
hundred was asked. Orchids are abun-
tlant and prices stationary. Cattleyas
find their top at 35 cents and cyjiripe-

to be featured strongly at the April
show, and those who are able to com-
pete for the $250 and $150 prizes of-
fered would do well to get busy with
their exhibits.

The charts showing the space avail-
able for trade exhibits are already well
marked with reservations and proposed
reservations of exhibitors, and any
firms desirous of securing choice loca-
tions should lose no time in communi-

The committee is a little embarrassed

The Birth of the Florists' Club.

The call meeting of October 27, held
for the purpose of organizing a florists'
club, was attended by nearly all the
florists of Evansville. The meeting
was held at the greenhouses of Nied-
nagel & Sons, and was a big success in
every way.

After an inspection of the Niednagel
stock by electric light, there being
electric bulbs in every house, the meet-
ing was called to order by Emil Nied-
nagel. He gave a stirring talk, which
was followed by short talks by every-
one present. Each speaker thought
that a club would be a good thing,
socially and educationally. Th6 elec-
tion of officers resulted as follows:
President, "William Halbrooks; vice-

E resident, Karl Zeidler; secretary, E.
I. Fenton; treasurer, Emil Niednagel.

The William Blackman Floral Co. is
cutting first-class roses, carnations,
mums, snapdragons and lilies. This
company pays special attention to its
window displays. Frank Woelz, rose
grower, has severed his connection with
this concern. John Tait now has charge
of the roses and carnations. The stock
is in splendid condition.

Julius Niednagel & Sons are receiving
a large number of decorative orders.
Large loads of decorative plants are
often seen on the way to some decora-
tion. They are having nice cuts of
roses and carnations.

J. C. Elspermann and his force have
been on the jump filling orders for
decorations. His mums are good and
the carnations are in excellent shape.
Last week Mr. Elspermann received
his shipment of azaleas.

Karl Zeidler is cutting a large num-
ber of mums, for which the demand is
heavy. In a week or two Mr. Zeidler
will again visit Mississippi as chief
guide of a hunting party which makes
the trip every year.

Louis Fritsch says that business is
increasing. He anticipates a big sea-
son in all lines.

Miss Nellie Goodge is cutting high-
grfide mums. She is recovering from
severe bruises sustained in a bad fall
some time ago.

Mrs. A. J. Wallace has been shipping
smilaz to George Angermueller, of St.
Louis.

Henry Seymour is well satisfied with
present business conditions and looks
for a steady increase in sales as soon
as killing frosts arrive.

Boyston & Fenton are cutting good
roses and mums. The demand for
them is excellent. They have a special
lot of coleus and geranium cuttings for
the wholesale trade.

DETSOIT.

The Market.

The market has loosened up consid-
erably since last week's report. Moms
are arriving in much larger quantities
and this has eased up on other stock.
The demand for yellow mums has been
heavier than the supply, this being due
to the many yellow blooms used for the
games at Ann Arbor and their popa>
larity for all purposes. A large wed-
ding October 30 cleaned up every yel-
low bloom on the market.

Boses are of fine quality and selling
readily, among the best sellers being
varieties in salmon and yellow shades.
Ophelia is popular with the flower buy-
ers and promises to be one of the
leaders this season. Carnations are
about the same as last reported. The
weather has been rather mild and car-
nations are nothing extra so far.

Southern smilax and prepared oak
were used in immense quantities last
week for decorating.

Various Notes.

Breitmeyer's had the decorations for
the Dodge-Gray wedding October 30.
It was a church affair and one of the
season's most talked-of functions. The
whole decorative scheme was carried
out in autumn colors, even to the dresses
of the bridal party. Yellow mums were
used in immense quantities. The back-
ground was a mass of cibotiums, autnmn
foliage and mums. Wreaths of bitter-
sweet were carried by the bridesmaids.

In the beginning automobiles were
sold in any place that afforded a win-
dow on the main street. Then came
the specially built showrooms, and now
no salesroom, in this city at least, is
complete unless there are numerous
palms, ferns, etc., to complete the in-
terior decorations, with Bostons in
nicely painted boxes. Recently there
have been several openings of new ,
salesrooms and in every instance flo-
rists received large orders for baskets
of flowers and plants. To the Bemb
Floral Co. should be given credit for
the extensive use of flowers, plants and
other decorative material/ as no effort
has been spared to get in a wedge
wherever possible. H, S.

The Florists* Review

OBITUARY

Frederick W. Tlmme.

Again, in the death of F. W. Timme,
which occurred October 27, Chicago has
lost its oldest florist.

Frederick W. Timme was born in
Magdeburg, Germany, January 14, 1843,
and came to America in 1857. He en-
listed in the Civil war, in the Missis-
sippi squadron, serving on board Ad-
miral Lee 's flagship, Blackhawk, in 1863
and 1864. The vessel was destroyed
during the siege of Natchez, Mr. Timme
receiving injuries which confined him
to the hospital for eight months and
which were the indirect cause of his
last years of suffering. After receiving
his honorable discharge from the navy,
he spent five years in and around La
Salle, 111,, laying out many places,
among them that of Mathewson, the
zinc magnate. He removed to Chicago
in 1870 and entered the employ of Allan
Pinkerton, the detective, as private gar-
dener, where he met and married Isa-
bella Johnston, of Crystal Lake, HI.
He left the employ of Mr. Pinkerton to
enter that of Capt. Parker, of Oconomo-
woc, Wis., where he laid out the grounds
at a large summer home on the shore of
Oconomowoc lake. He also laid out
large places in Lakeside and Oak Park.
He was one of the men who helped lay
out Lincoln park, Chicago, turning an
old cemetery into a park. He then en-
tered the employ of Potter Palmer, as
private gardener, starting with the con-
servatories on the roof of the Palmer
House hotel. He moved them to Forty-
seventh street and Grand boulevard,
where it is said he grew the first carna-
tions ever grown in or around Chicago,
getting them from Peter Henderson,
who imported them from France. The
Palmer conservatories were then moved
to their present location at Bank street
and the Lake Shore drive.

Mr. Timme was in the employ of Peter
Palmer sixteen years, part of which he
was cashier at the Palmer House hotel.
During these years he bought the prop-
erty and started his own business as
wholesale and retail florist at 4016
North Tripp avenue, Irving Park, Chi-
cago, where he resided and carried on
his business for thirty years. In the
early years of his business he grew car-
nations, and made a specialty of rais-
ing new varieties, preferring to sell to
other growers for introduction to the
trade rather than disseminate them him-
self. In 1892 he disseminated Carna-
tion Lucia, a profitable scarlet variety,
taking many prizes with it at the flower
shows. Later he made a specialty of
asters and other novelties for the Chi-
cago markets. In the last few years he
devoted his entire time to pot plants.

In 1906 Mr. Timme made his first visit
to his old home in Germany after forty-
nine years in this country. He enjoyed
the trip so much that he went again
the following year^ taking his wife and
daughter with him. This time he made
a more extensive trip, visiting Scotland,
England, Holland, Switzerland and Ger-
many, also a large part of the eastern
states. For many years he was a regu-
lar contributor to trade papers, writing
many articles of interest and also trans-
lating foreign papers. In 1908 he suf-
fered a severe stroke of paralysis, fol-
lowed by a slight one eight months

later. He recovered sufficiently to en-
able him to attend to his business and
enjoy life until the latter part of Au-
gust, when complications set in, causing
a breakdown, resulting in his death.
Funeral services were held October 30,
burial being at Crystal Lake, HI. He
leaves his wife, one son, William F., of
Chicago, and a daughter, Mrs. Harry
Blewitt, of Des Plaines, and one grand-
son. William F. Timme will carry on
the business, at least for a time.

Edward O. Eggeling.

Following a short illness from throat
trouble, Edward G. Eggeling died at
his home Saturday, October 30, He
was born in St. Louis 43 years ago.
He' is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Lillian Eggeling.

The flower store at Grand and La-
fayette avenues was one of the oldest
in the city, having been founded by his
father at the close of the war. Mr.
Eggeling was a member of the St.

Frederick W. Timme.

Louis Florists' Club and was promi-
nent in many other societies.

The funeral was held Monday, No-
vember 1, from his late residence, 3612
Lafayette avenue. Interment was at
Bellefontainc cemetery. J. J. B.

Folkert A. Vander Meulen.

Polkert Andries Vander Meulen, of
Dunkirk, N. Y., died October 21, at the
home of his son, T. F. Vander Meulen,
635 Eagle street. He was born at
Makkum, Holland, April 18, 1831, and
for many years conducted a gardening
and flower business in his native coun-
try. He came to Dunkirk in 1892 and
for a number of years was in charge
of the park system there,

Mr. Vander Meulen was a strong ex-
ponent of temperance and the rights of
the laboring man and made many pub-
lic addresses in the interest of those
causes. He was the author of numer-
ous essays and books in the Dutch and
Friesian languages.

The deceased was twice married, his
first wife dying in 1874 and his second
wife in 1907, He is survived by two
sons, T, F. Vander Meulen, of Dunkirk,
and Peter Vander Meulen, of Portland,
Ore,, and one daughter, Mrs. A. Van
Beek, of Portland.

Horace J. Harvey.

The death of Horace J. Harvey, one
of the founders of the Harvey Seed Co.,

of Buffalo, occurred October 31. Heart
disease was the cause of his death. Mr.
Harvey was in a rowboat in the Niagara
river in the afternoon of October 30
when he was stricken. He was removed
to his home, where he died soon after
midnight. He was United States con-
sul at Fort Erie, Ont,, a Canadian point
near Buffalo, He was 78 years old.

Born in Granville, Mr, Harvey located
at Buffalo when a young man. In part-
nership with his brother, the Harvey
Seed Co. was established. From 1858
until his appointment as consul at Fort
Erie by President Roosevelt, Mr. Har-
vey was an active Buffalo business man
and a member of the Chamber of Com-
merce. Selling his interests in the Har-
vey Seed Co. thirty years ago, Mr, Har-
vey became connected with other enter-
prises, with which he was associated
until 1898, when he removed to Fort
Erie. He recently was replaced by an
appointee of President Wilson. Miss
Annabel Harvey, of Fort Erie, is the
only surviving child.

PITTSBUBOH.

The Market.

October was one of the most delight-
ful months in the experience of many
here and business was quite satisfac-
tory. The weather continues fine. The
outdoor chrysanthemums are much in
evidence, as the market is full of them.
Geraniums in sheltered places still are
blooming.

The wholesalers have their hands
full with chrysanthemums. Wm. Tur-
ner, Chieftain, White Chieftain and
Bonnaffon are the finest, but there is
any amount of rubbishy stock. Lilies
and valley are again plentiful. Beau-
ties, fine roses, orchids, yellow daisies
and carnations make up a list of stock
offered in quantities. Violets do not
seem to attract much attention.

The retailers, while fairly busy, are
not rushed. The chrysanthemums help
them to keep up beautiful displays.

Various Notes.

The John Bader Co. last week re-
ceived two carloads of palms from Bel-
gium, the finest ever received and all
in excellent condition.

The Karl Koenig Co. has received a
large consignment of Japanese bulbs.

A. W. Smith, Jr., has made an auto-
mobile tour among the Ohio nurseries^
looking up stock for next spring.

Allen Langhans, who quit the flo-
rists' business to go into the oil busi-
ness, is visiting his old friends in the
trade here.

Again there is talk of another whole-
sale house in this city.

Earl Tipton, buyer for the A. W.
Smith Co., is back at his post after
spending the summer at the Canfield
greenhouses.

Wm. Turner reports his business as
showing a steady improvement and in-
crease since he has taken charge of the
store and given up the greenhouse end.

The burning of a box factory, in
which thirteen girls and one man lost
their lives, October 29, gave the north
side fiorists all the work they could do
for several days. Clarke.

Detroit, Mich.— Albert F. T. D.
Pochelon has found birds and bird

EESTJLTS.
- - ' We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

"Safety first" is a good motto, but
a good many florists wait until it is too
late to be careful.

There are many inquiries for schools
of design making and, curiously, nearly
all come from women.

It is worth a long, hard effort to get
to a place in the trade where one is
known as paying his bills in full every
month.

"The path of success in business —
even the florists' business — invariably is
the path of common sense." — Samuel
Smiles.

NOT THE MBS. GALT.

As a means to a little hoped-for pub-
licity the management of the Cleveland
flower show obtained from Elmer D.
Smith & Co. the privilege of naming
one of their seedling chrysanthemums,
and passed the privilege on to the Presi-
dent of the United States. Under date
of October 28 Mr. Wilson wrote: "The
flower is certainly very beautiful. May
I not suggest the name for it. Tiger t"
Not quite what the committee hoped!

WHY FLOEISTS AEE BUSY.

Business forecasts and predictions
are now speaking of general industry
as increasingly "normal." Manufac-
turing is improving, demand is grow-
ing stronger in nearly all lines, retail-
ing seems to be steadier and prices bet-
ter. Employment is good in most parts

of the country. Even those who were
pessimistic some time ago and ascribed
most of the advance in activity to
* ' war orders ' ' are now disposed to con-
cede the existence of real improvement
due to big crops and war orders. The
outlook for the winter is promising.
It is an encouraging showing the na-
tion over.

HONOBABLE. 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:

SIX YEARS.
Adachl Bros., San Francisco, Oal.

THREE YEARS.
Whiting, John I., Auburn, N. Y.
Loveridge, C, Peoria. 111.

subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story;
no bills are run up; no duns are sent.

difficult without the opportunity to con-
sult its advertising columns, from which
he probably buys most of his stock.

CREDITS GET ATTENTION.

It is doubtful if there is any other
line of busmess in which credits and
collections 1^ve had so little thought
and ajttention as ha« been the case in
the fl(vists' tradf. But there are many
evide^OB that the times are changing,
the latest being a circular letter sent
to all theJT customers by the five whole-
sale houses at. St. Louis. It is as fol-
lows: 'I yi^_

Owing t* Oie nnsSMsfactory credit system now
in Togue by the wholesale florists of St. Louis,
it has become necessary to make some changes for
the betterment of both th^ wholesaler and the
legitimate retailer.

In the future all statpments rendered on the
first of the month must be paid on or before the
fifteenth of the month. There are no exceptions
to this rule. In all cases where accounts are not
settled on or before that date, goods purchased
the next day and thereafter will be sent C. O. D.
until the account is put in good standing.

'NO SMOEINO."

Bule 21 of the code for the National

Flower Show to be held at Philadelphia

next spring is as follows:

No sm'oklng will be permitted In any part of
the building, except in sncb places as are set
apart for that purpose, during the hours of ex-
hibition. Exhibitors are particnlarly reqaested
to aid the management in the enforcement of
this rule, in deference to the large nnmber of
ladies who attend the exhibition.

So large a percentage of florists
smoke almost incessantly that to do
so in an exhibition hall is an involun-
tary act — no disrespect is intended, but
a high class exhibition is impossible
where smoking is permitted. It must
be stopped if we are to secure the
attendance of the better class of people.

NECESSABY IN TEXAS.

You may be sure that if you do not
take yourself and your business seri-
ously, nobody else will. But The Re-
view never has taken itself so seriously
as some of its readers do when they
write, as did this Texan:

In sending 75 cents for a copy of the Album of
Designs we include $1 for The Review for another
.vear. We would have to quit the florists' business
if we could not get The Review. — Baxter Setzler,
Mgr. City Greenhouses, Bonbam, Tex., October 27,
1915.

What our Texan friend means to im-
ply doubtless is that it would be diffi-
cult to run a florists' business without
The Review — difficult to do so without
its cultural articles and trade news and

If it isn't, there is a splendid oppor-
tunity for jrou to get the telegraph or-
ders of florists who are asked to deliver
flowers in your vicinity. If your city

spection of the- list (page 59) will shar#
why 80 many telegraph boys go to the
other flower store.

WHO CAN ANSWEB?

Could you kindly tell me if there is
in the United States a commercial
grower of new and high-class named
hybrid delphiniums, an expert who in
knowledge of the plants and in num-
ber and excellence of varieties can com-
pare favorably with the great English
firms who make a specialty of the
delphinium f

It seems to me this grand perennial
deserves some man's earnest work on
this side of the water. Any informa-
tion will be gratefully received.

Arthur Byerse.

CHICAGO.

t

The Market.

Following a succession of rapid fluc-
tuations, the Chicago market settled
down the end of last week to a con-
dition of easy supply and lower prices.
The change, though clearly defined,
was radical only by contrast with the
preceding few weeks of extreme scar-
city. The present week opened with
supply in most lines generous and de-
mand rather backward. It is a fact
worthy of comment that the shipping
trade gives practically no evidence of
a decline, the cessation of activity be-
ing confined almost exclusively to the
city business.

Beauties continue to cling to the
short side of the market, in contradis-
tinction to other lines of stock, and
with the added advantage of unusually
excellent quality, enjoy a healthy de-
mand. Other roses are more nearly
normal in supply and are of most satis-
factory quality. Demand,* though not
so urgent as it has been for some time,
is still strong enough to take care of
the receipts. The newer varieties con-
tinue to receive the first call, which
has, perhaps, been strengthened by the
publicity recently given them in the
daily papers.

Carnations are plentiful in every
color and length of stem, and, being
satisfactory as to quality, move fairly
well. Violets, double and single, are
available in any quantity. The sup-
ply of valley is not large, but it is
sufficient to fill all wants. Receipts of
sweet peas are daily growing larger,
and they are moving nicely. Cattleyas
are plentiful.

Chrysanthemums fill the display win-
dows and the salesrooms, and yet they
come in all colors and sizes. Demand,
however, seems to gather strength, for
the yellow varieties first and the white
ones next, leaving the pinks as a last
choice. As a result there is somewhat
of a plethora in the pink varieties.
Among the varieties of chrysanthe-

mums recently received are Marigold,
Crystal Gem, Golden Queen, Chieftain,
Bonnaffon and White Chieftain. Pom-
pons are to be had in a wide range of
colors. Anemones, too, are in ample
supply.

Eastern lilies and rubrums are mov-
ing well considering the condition of
the market. Mignonettes, pansies and
daisies may be had if desired.

Greens are selling remarkably well
when the full condition of the market
is taken into account.

The market is full of silverware
these days. When solicited to contrib-
ute prizes for the show, most of the
wholesalers elected to give silver pups,
as having most enduring advertising
value. For the last few days the mugs
have been in conspicuous places around
the stores,- to arouse the retailers' cov-
etousness.

October Business.

When the wholesalers cast up the
footing of sales November 1 they found
October had broken all records for the
month. Proverbially an erratic month,
sometimes extremely good and some-
times only good by contrast with the
summer, October of 1915 eclipsed even
the best high record of the past. In-
deed, in some houses October even beat
last December, an unheard of record.
In the middle of the month the supply
was too short for best results, it being
difficult for one wholesaler to buy of
another, but toward the end of the
month there was stock enough to per-
mit meeting every buyer's reasonable
ideas and sales ran to splendid totals,
in some houses nearly doubling last
year's poor record.

October Weather.

October was a beautiful month, just
a little too fine for the retailers, but
excellent for the production of stock.
After a wet summer, October had only
a sixth of the normal rainfall and six-
ty-five per cent of the possible sunshine,

JAPANESE r.ViiU SCARCE

One of the things the war has affected is the supply of Ait* Plant, some-
times called Sea Moss. Being exclusively of foreign preparation, some-
times it is unobtainable in this country. We recently have received
some large shipments and recommend that our customers lay in a sea-
son's supply while first-class stock is available at such low prices as we
are able to offer this week.

Finest quality, large bunches, $9 00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000
First quality, 6.50 per 100; 60.00 per 1000

50 BASKETS, COMPLETE WITH LINERS. $13.00

We call this our Rex Assortment, because it's the King of them all— just what you need for special sales of Pompon
Mums and for Ruscus, etc., for Christmas. Order 50 today and we venture you repeat the minute you unpack them.

We have a new Basket Catalog^ue on the press— send lor it.

ScUIler Comes Downtown.

Schiller's Floral Gift Shop will in
the future be the name of the store
heretofore operated by William Lub-
liner, at 41 South Wabash avenue. No-
vember 1 the store was turned over to
its new owners in accordance with a
contract of sale consummated October
30. The store is held under a lease
that has three years to run, with an
option of renewal for a period of five
years. As the new name indicates,
the store will feature floral novelties
appropriate for gifts on all occasions.
This will necessitate the introduction
of various art wares. According to
•George Asmus and R. E. Schiller, the

move was rendered necessary by the
urgent demands of the many Schiller
patrons, who demurred at being com-
pelled to go either to the north or
west sides. Miss Bertha Schiller will
operate the loop store, R. E. Schiller
the west side store, H. D. Schiller the
north side store and George Asmus
will distribute his time between them.

Mr. McEee's New Deal.

Philip L. McKee, formerly second
vice-president and general manager of
the John C. Moninger Co., has organ-
ized the American Greenhouse Manu-
facturing Co., of which he becomes
president and treasurer. November 1
the new concern opened an office at
1503 Masonic Temple, where estimates
already are being made. The necessary
legal steps to organize a corporation

with $25,000 authorized capital stock
will be taken at the same time that
factory facilities are being developed.
Mr. McKee • is well known in the
trade. Entering the employ of the Mon-
inger company eleven years ago as a
general assistant, his natural aptitude
for the business and the energy he put
into his work soon carried him to man-
aging position. He invented and de-
veloped many new ideas in green-
house construction and has associated
himself, among others in his new com-
pamy, with J. E. Jones, of the Advance
Co., Richmond, Ind., who also has
years of experience in greenhouse
structural work.

committees were presented, showing
well matured plans for the big exhibi-
tion, to be held at the Coliseum, No-
vember 9 to 14. Widespread interest
in the event is evident from the cor-
respondence coming to the officials
from all sections of the country, and
the distribution of large quantities of
posters and posterettes with liberal no-
tices in the newspapers have awakened
unusual enthusiasm locally. The com-
petitive exhibits from leading growers
will be well worth the attention of the
trade in themselves and it is certain
there will be a good array of new
plants and flowers in the various sec-
tions. Many novel features are prom-
ised by the management, including
elaborate floral dances and fashions,
ancient and modern, in the use of flow-
ers for personal adornment. According

of a- year of forced economy.

A. Henderson & Co. will move to a
new location on State street just north
of Lake street, November 15.

O. W. Frese reports that Poehlmanu
Bros. Co. sent 5,000 large yellow mums
to Urbana October 30 for the football
game. The five-piece silver service
offered for best arranged basket of
roses at next week's show has been on
display in the store for several days.

"Grandpa" was added to E. C. Am-
ling's titles October 30, when Anna
Margaret arrived at the Oak Park home
of Rev. and Mrs. Bailey. Mrs. Bailey
is well known in the trade, as for some
years she presided at the cashier's win-
dow of the E. C. Amling Co.

October sales of florists' supplies
broke all previous records of the A. L.
Bandall Co., according to F. M. John-
son, who says he expects to see a
marked shortage of merchandise before
the Christmas demand has been satis-
fied.

Increasing business has resulted in
Ernest Farley being added to the staff
of A. T. Pyfer & Co.

H. C. Bowe has opened his new retail
store at 123 North Wabash avenue, op-
posite Field's.

In the Criminal court John Then did
jury service last week, and Charles H.
Zapfe has taken his place for the cur-
rent fortnight.

Philadelphia carnation has made a
steady gain in popularity, according to
N. J. Wietor, who says the retauers
call for it by name more frequently
than for any other variety. But Mr.
Wietor 's own favorite is Rosette. He
says the Wietor establishment never
was in better shape than now, prac-
tically every house being good.

A flower shop has been opened by
Mrs. J. B. Foster, at 4736 South State
street.

A new greenhouse 24x200 feet, of
Foley construction, has been added to
the range of Fred Greager, 6952 Cot-
tage Grove avenue.

The J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.,
Joliet, will run a special train for those
who wish to see Aviator in its home
during the flower show. The train will
leave the Rock Island station at 11:45
a. m.; returning leave Joliet at 5:30
p. m. Luncheon will be served at the
greenhouses.

A lease for a term of five years from
May 1, 1916, has been secured by Joseph
L. Baske for the store he now occupies
at 170 West Jackson boulevard.

The new rose. Champ Weiland, grown
by Weiland & Risch, has received con-
siderable comment in the daily papers
during the week.

The wholesale and retail branches of
the florists' trade were well represented
at the funeral services of George Econ-
omopoulos, which were held in the
Greek Orthodox church, La Salle and
Oak streets, at 1 p. m. October 31.
The floral offerings were numerous and
of a most elaborate character, orchids,
valley, violets, chrysanthemums and
roses figuring prominently in their
make-up. Interment was in Elmwood
cemetery.

A most excellent quality of Balfour
chrysanthemums is being cut by Theo-

was the best ever experienced by the

freezing of the outdoor flowers, he be-

The topic of greatest interest in the
store of Sullivan Bros., 863 East Sixty-
third street, is the new arrival in the
home of William Sullivan. His little
daughter was born October 27.

Something unique in the way of a
sign will soon appear in the windows
of the new quarters of J. A. Budlong,
at the southwest corner of Lake street
and Wabash avenue.

A splendid bit of landscape work is
being done in Homewood, 111., by Daniel
D. P. Roy.

It is said A. G. Spencer is doing an

excellent business in his quiet way. He
buys large quantities of stock and
wastes extremely little.

The Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co.
states that H. E. Humiston, of Omaha,
Neb., has been appointed to succeed
J. E. PoUworth, who is no longer with
the concern.

The death of F. W. Timme, oldest of
Chicago florists, is recorded in this

Visitors.

Among the visitors on the Chicago
market this week was C. W. Scott, of
the Yokohama Nursery Co., New York.
While here Mr. Scott bought a pedi-
greed Airedale terrier, for whfeh he
paid a fancy price.

Among the week's visitors was
Charles C. Case, of Prairie du Chien,
Wis.

Members of the trade were visited
last week by C. W. Crum, of Des
Moines, la.

Mrs. Gullett, wife of Ed Gullett, of

The Market.

Business in general shows a steady
improvement and has assumed quite
healthy proportions. The weather was
exceptionally fine last week and this
brought stock to the market in much
larger quantities. The market, there-
fore, shows a change from conditions
that existed a week ago.

The chrysanthemum crop is arriving
almost too fast and some cold, cloudy
weather is necessary to hold back the
cut. If the mild weather continues
there will soon be an overabundant sup-
ply and prices will drop greatly. The
rose crop, which has been extremely
short for some time, has increased to a
great extent and all orders are being

taken care of without any trouble. The
stock is in excellent shape and prices
are lower than they have been during
the last few weeks. Carnations are
coming in heavily each day and, while
the cut is not abnormal, the large sup-
ply of mums makes it difficult to sell all
of them. Prices, consequently, have
taken quite a drop and probably will
go lower if the mum supply is not soon
shortened by cloudy weather.

Violets showed a marked improve-
ment last week. The quality is much
better and the supply has increased t )
such an extent that shipments are beinj
made daily. Valley and lilies are not
overabundant and are selling well. Bu-

Various Notes.

The Baumgarten Floral Co. has taken
the store east of its present location
and will combine the two places into
one large shop, which will have excel-
lent facilities for displaying the stock.
Mrs. Baumgarten left October 30 for an
eastern trip. As her trip is partly for
pleasure, her stay is somewhat indefi-
nite, but it is expected that she will
return within a few weeks.

One of the most elaborate and fash-
ionable weddings that Milwaukee has
ever had took place at St. James
church, where Miss Elsbeth Pabst and
Douglas Parmentier were married Oc-
tober 28. The decorations were won-
derful and favorable comments on them
were printed in the newspapers. J. M.
Fox & Son had charge of the affair and
they surely showed what they could do
when given carte blanche. The church
was decorated with Easter lilies, palms,
ferns and greens. Over 700 lilies were
used and the sight was entrancing. The

residence was decorated extensively
with a great number of American Beau-
ties, chrysanthemums and roses. There
were banks of callas that had the ap-
pearance of growing. The bride 's table
was decorated with three immense cen-
terpieces in white, composed of White
Killarney, swainsona, valley and adian-
tum. The buffet table had a piece
composed of Ward roses, croton foliage
and valley, and ribbons to match the
colors of the flowers. This piece was
out of the ordinary and exceedingly at-
tractive. Other tables were decorated

maid of honor and the six bridesmaids
wore orchid-colored gowns, in four
shades, and carried bouquets composed
of orchids and George Elger roses. The
bride carried a bouquet of white or-
chids and vallev. Miss Sommers, who
handled a large part of the work on
the decorations, was seriously handi-

DAYTON, O.

Tlie Market.
Ideal fall weather has prevailed in
this section for the last three weeks,
•with the nights just cool enough for a
little heat. It is bringing stock along
in grand shape for the winter trade.
Flowers of all kinds at present are
plentiful enough to fill the demand,
although the call runs principally to
mums, which are beginning to show up
in larger quantities, the demand being
for the medium grades, fancy ones not
being called for to any great extent. All
Souls' day cleaned up all in sight at
prices ranging from $1.50 to $."i per
dozen. A good many outdoor mums are
grown in this section by the farmers
and gardeners and there has been no
cold weather to affect them this fall.
Consequently the market was glutted
with that grade of stock, which sold for
"any old" price. The trade as a whole
was satisfied with the business done.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Balloween and All Saints' day slight-
ly accelerated business. Election day
retarded it. Speaking broadly, the mar-
ket is in fair shape for most of the
flowers, but not for roses. The best
midseason chrysanthemums are now in
full swing. With them are some fine
pompons and semidouble varieties. For
these there is demand at moderate prices.
Carnations have improved in popular
favor as the dahlias have disappeared.
The price of carnations is low, about
half of that of one month ago, but con-
sidering the quality of flowei'S on the
market, more for them could hardly be
expected. Valley has receded to $4 per
hundred, which is now a high price.
Easter lilies have fallen to one-half the
high-water mark in October, competi-
tion with white chrysanthemums being
the cause. Orchids are shortening in
supply and the best of them bring high
prices. The low figures quoted on oth-
ers is explained by their poor quality.
Gardenias are exceedingly scarce; only
two growers are sending flowers into
town and many orders were hard to
fill. Nobody seems to care for the mod-
est violet, which requires much pushing
to attract attention. Callas, snapdrag-
ons and bftuvardias are of excellent
quality and more numerous. Cypripe-
diums have come. The demand for
greens is a shade stronger.

Current Events.

The most progressive growers, realiz-
ing the importance of reducing operat-
ing expenses in these times of over-
production, are searching diligently for
improved methods. Myers & Samtman
have installed an apparatus for han-
•dling coal on their place at Chestnut
:Hill, which is proving most successful
in reducing expense. It consists of two
.distinct devices. The first is a portable
.endless chain and buckets for emptying
'coal cars. This machine is placed be-

tween the coal car and the coal wagon.
The trap of the coal car is opened, let-
ting the coal to the ground. The elec-
tric current that furnishes power for
the machine is then turned on and the
machine starts. Each of the twenty-
five buckets scoops up a shovelful of
coal and runs up the inclined plane to
the top, where it drops the coal into the
wagon beneath, and so on until the
wagon is filled. The second device is
similar to the first, except that the
buckets are replaced by scoops that
carry the coal on a track from the con-
crete box where the wagons dump, to
the top of the coal pile. This link-belt
apparatus also is run by electricity.

With these two machines, Myers &
Samtman have been able to load, haul
and pile 125 tons of coal in ten hours,
with two double and one single teams.
The distance from the siding to the
coal pile is about a quarter of a mile.
The cost when the coal was shoveled
from car to wagon and then thrown on
the pile was about 36 cents per ton.
With the new machinery the cost has
been reduced one-half. In addition to
this, the work is much lighter, as all
the hard shoveling is done by the ma-
chine. The concrete box, where the
wagons dump, is covered with a heavy
iron grating, through which the coal

all lines. The market is flooded with
chrysanthemums, with increased ship-
ments coming in daily. Chrysolora is
more than holding its own. Outdoor
pompons are numerous and move
slowly. The oversupply of mums has
had a tendency to hold down the prices
and to retard the sale of other flowers,
particularly carnations. Dahlias still
are to be had in liberal quantities.

Double violets have made their ap-
pearance, but do not sell well, even at
50 to 75 cents per hundred. The cause
of the slow movement is assigned to
the weather, which is too warm to make
violets desirable for street wear. Sin-

the double violets, their sale is re-

Easter lilies and lily of the valley
are no longer scarce and the former
are to be had at $1.50 per dozen, while
the price of valley has declined to $4

Many of the stores had large wed-
ding decorations during the week. Oc-
tober is said to have averaged far bet-
ter than October of any previous year.
Despite the fact that such improve-
ment is noted, collections are declared
to be slow. Funeral work has been
exceptionally heavy. The football sea-
son is expected to take up a large part
of the surplus chrysanthemums and to
materially increase their price.

VarioTis Notes.

J. Louis Loose, of the Washington
Floral Co., is reported to be confined to
his home suffering from an attack of
the grip.

A number of attractive Halloween
displays were seen at the local stores
last week. J. H. Small & Sons had a
decoration in one of their windows
which depicted Old Mother Goose
.astride her broom and equipped with
the tall, pointed hat so familiar to the
children. The sharp-pointed nose, sup-
porting a pair of spectacles, and the
cloak which awes the little ones, were
not forgotten. The background con-
sisted of large palms and huge stand-
ards of cornstalks. These brought into
prominence the vases of choice chrys-
anthemums placed on the sides and in
the foreground. A large pile of pump-
kins of all sizes and shapes completed
the display.

George C. Shaffer, at Fourteenth and
I streets, northwest, had a woodland
scene with a background showing a
rustic fence. In the center were pump-
kins, hollowed to serve as receptacles
for daisies and chrysanthemums. Vases
of chrysanthemums and handsomely
colored oak foliage gave color to the
scene.

The Washington Floral Co. is receiv-
ing, from its houses at Alexandria, some
good Double White Killamey roses.
Mrs. George Shawyer and Mrs. Russell
are exceptionally good. C. L. L.

LOUISVILLE, K7.

Tbe Market.

Business continues to improve and
stock is plentiful. We have had no
rain for some time and it is warmer
than usual at this time of the year,
making it harder to handle the stock
satisfactorily. This is especially true
of chrysanthemums with heavy foliage.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

The supply of mums increases daily
and, while they cut into the sale of
roses and carnations to a large extent,
the market has taken up all stock being
offered. Prices are rather lower than
a week ago, especially on carnations,
which have not been moving well. The
demand for white mums in medium
sizes was heavy November 1, there be-
ing not enough for all. Quantities of
outdoor spray mums have made their
appeai'ance and cut into the sale of
indoor stock. Wedding orders have
used up quite a bit of valley. Greens
are still in good supply, with only a
fair demand.

Various Notes.

The Franklin Davis Nursery Co. has
gone into the hands of a receiver. The
Western National Bank, of this city, a
creditor in the sum of $30,000, filed the
petition in the U. S. District Court
which resulted in the appointment of
William F. Stone to carry on the affairs
of the company. Samuel A. Burk, of
Mitchellville, and Jos. E. White, of the
same place, claim to be creditors for
$963.14 and $7,358.28 respectively. The
estate of Eufus Woods, owner of prop-
erty occupied by the offices of the con-
cern, also claims promissory notes given
for rental remaining unpaid. The re-
ceiver's bond was fixed at the nominal
sum of $7,500.

The Old Town Floral Co. will remove
from its present location, 586 North, Gay
street, to 2301 East Fayette street,
about November 10.

Henry Weber & Sons, of Oakland,
Md., are sending some fine cattleyas to
the Pennock-Meehan Co.

Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Wagner are receiv-
ing congratulations on the arrival of a
son October 28.

Kirkley's Flower Shop is showing a
well arranged fall window decoration.
Shocks of cornstalks are arranged in
the background, while in front oak
foliage, yellow mums and pumpkins are
used to good advantage.

The Market.

The market last week had its ups
and downs. The summer-like weather
brought out st^ck in large quantities.
Quite a good demand was reported by
all the leading stores. Chrysanthemums
are now the leaders in the cut flower
market. There was a good demand for
stock on All Saints' day, November 1,
which kept the wholesalers quite busy.
Cut stock was plentiful last week and
prices good. Chrysanthemums in all
varieties and colors seem to enjoy a
good demand. The pompon varieties
are arriving in big lots. A glut in car-
nations and roses is expected, as thts
warm weather is bringing in large
quantities of them. Violets are plen-
tiful, but cooler weather is needed to
bring out the quality. Valley and
Easter lilies hold their own. Green
goods are, as usual, fine.

Various Notes.

The meeting of the oflBcers of the
St. Louis Florists' Club, the Carnation
Society committee, the flower show
committee and the transportation com-
mittee was held October 28, at the home
of Prank Windier. It was an inter-
esting meeting and much good work
was accomplished. The chairmen for
the various committees for the Carna-
tion Society convention were appointed.

nounced that the Big Four route would
carry local members to the Cleveland
and Chicago flower shows, and the
flower show committee prepared a final
report to be read at the next club meet-
ing. The officers called a special
meeting November 4, which was held
at the store of the Windier "Wholesale
Floral Co. The regular meeting will
be postponed for a week, as most of
the officers will be out of the city on
the regular meeting day. An invita-
tion was extended by W. "W. Ohlweiler
to hold the meeting at the Missouri
Botanical Garden. The invitation was
accepted and the meeting will be held
November 18, in the lecture room.

Miss Matilda Meinhardt, prominent
in trade circles here and especially in
the Ladies' Auxiliary of the S. A. F.,
and William H. Boaz, a real estate man,
have announced their engagement.
The wedding will take place soon. Mr.
Boaz resides in Kirkwood, where he
has a large home.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle will
meet November 10 at the home of
Mrs. George B. Windier, 4059 Delore
avenue, at 2 p. m.

The heads of the five wholesale
houses held a meeting and revised their
credit system, making changes for the
betterment of both wholesalers and
retailers. A circular was sent to all
in the trade asking that all bills in
the future be paid by the fifteenth day
of each month.

November 6 will be known as flower
day. This was announced by the daily
press. About 1,000 young society wom-
en will sell flowers in all parts of the

city, the proceeds going to the Chris-
tian Old Folks' Home.

The flower booths at the war relief
bazaar, held at the Coliseum under the
supervision of Adolph Brix, were a big
attraction and a financial success. Mr.
Brix was much pleased with the sup-
port given him by the florists.

David Geddis reports that the sale
of bulbs last week was double that of a
year ago. The cut flower department
was kept busy, too.

The St. Louis Seed Co. is booking
many orders for holly for Christmas de-
livery. August Hummert, vice-presi-
dent of the company, says the over-the-
counter bulb sales far surpassed those
of last year.

Any one in the trade wishing to
make the trip to the Cleveland and
Chicago flower shows should not fail to
notify one of the transportation com-
mittee, which consists of Messrs. Ged-
dis, Berning and Pileher.

The Connon Floral Co., of Webster
Groves, has a new auto delivery car
of attractive pattern. This firm is
supplying a fine lot of white and yel-
low pompons. The W. C. Smith Whole-
sale Floral Co. handles the output.

Adolph Jaenicke says that his com-
mittee will report favorably on the ad-
visability of holding a spring flower
show, as it has plans that will surely
make the show a great success.

A. Jablonsky and John Steidle, of
Olivette, are each having a grand cut
of fancy carnations. Mr. Steidle 's new
carnation. Sunbeam, which made a good
impression at the Buffalo convention
of the Carnation Society, is showing
fine blooms and will be entered at the
coming carnation meeting.

J..F. Ammann had a good excuse for
not being present at the special meet-
ing of the officers October 28. Mrs.
Ammann had a big surprise planned
for him, the day being their twenty-
fifth wedding anniversary.

Fred C. Weber's big show house at-
tracted a great deal of attention last
week. Some excellent mum plants in
full bloom and fancy cut stock were
shown.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are now at their
flood tide. In spite of their abundance,
they have not yet demoralized the mar-
ket as in preceding years; in fact,
prices show a wonderful improvement
when compared with those of a year
ago. In addition to the varieties
named last week, there are now a good
many Ivory mums. This old favorite
continues to sell well, as does Bonnaf-
fon. There is an increased supply of
pompons, but they clean up well, es-
pecially the yellow and bronze. Roses
are off crop. Most of the growers are
timing the roses for holiday cuts.
Prices on roses have receded a little,
but not seriously. The abundance
of mums, of course, affects the
sale of long-stemmed stock, Beauties
suffering more, probably, than any
other sort. Ophelia, Russell, Had-
ley, Shawyer and Sunburst are the lead-
ing favorites, but all other sorts clean
up well. Short-stemmed stock has
dropped to $1 per hundred.

The carnation market remains much
the same as that of a week ago, which
must be considered encouraging. Spe-

cially good sorts at present are Match-
less, Alice, White Wonder, Benora and
Pink Delight. Violets, both single and
double, are much more abundant and
lower in price. There is a larger sup-
ply of Lilium longiflorum and prices
are lower. Valley remains about the
same. Snapdragon, as yet, is somewhat
short-stemmed. There is a good call
for pink shades.' Cosmos Lady Lenox
is good. Until this week some of the
cosmos has come from outdoors, as well
as dahlias. Cattleyas sell moderately.
There is now a good crop of gardenias
available. Good flowers of these make
$3 per dozen. The call for green stock
was weaker last week, but the pot
plant trade has improved. Chrysanthe-
mums are now the leaders among flow-
ering plants.

Boston Bowlers' Scores.

The results of the bowling contests

of the Boston Florists' Bowling League,

held October 28, were as follows, can-

dlepins being used:

Oalvln's 1347 McAlplne & McD'd.l288

Flower Ercbange. .1233 Robinson'g 1253

Zlnn's 1340 CoSperatlve Mkt...l2.-S

Carlwne's 1311 Pansies 1230

Various Notes.

William H. Elliott is this season
growing a number of the single Irish
roses at his Madbury establishment,
Fireflame, Glory and Beauty being all
good. Old Gold proves to be quite pop-
ular. Pot mums are now being mar-
keted in large numbers. The various
forms of Wells' Caprice are good sell-
ers. They are dwarf, bushy and need
practically no supports.

At the Mechanics hall country fair,
October 28, there was a contest for
twelve vases of carnations. A. Koper

William T. Walke, of Salem, has an
unusually fine lot of poinsettias, cycla-
mens and Cincinnati begonias for the
holidays. All Mr. Walke 's plants are
well grown and sell on sight.

The Halifax Garden Co, is the larg-
est shipper of pompon mums to the
local market at present, yellow being
the best selling color. The Sunburst,
Hadley, Killarney, Taft and other roses
are of fine quality.

A. H. Westhaver, of Maiden, has a
good cut of White Cloud, Chrysolora,
Halliday and other mums, English
primroses are grown in quantity and
100,000 bulbs are forced.

At Penn's over thirty designs were

little booklet entitled The Blue Flow-
er will be issued by this enterprising
concern monthly. The initial number
appeared last week and met with in-
stant approval. It contains many beau-
tiful thoughts and sentiments pertain-
ing to flowers, and the advertising on
the inside of the back cover page is
unobtrusive. Work on the new store
ou Tremont street proceeds apace, but
so much has to be done that the work
cannot be completed in less than five
weeks.

Harry Quint has purchased a new
light delivery car, which he finds a
wonderful help in his business.

The fall flower show at Horticultural

The date, November 4, was a trifle
early for pot mums, which are fully
a week late this season.

J. A. Nelson, of Framingham, has

cluded in his carnation shipments.

W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, and

in excellent Lady Campbell violets.

The Ivory chrysanthemum remains
a favorite with Feter Hylen, of Ran-
dolph. He grows Halliday well and in
quantity.

Mann Bros, are selling Dolly Dimple,
a pompon mum of lovely soft pink
color. They have a fine variety of
other mums, such aa 6. S. Kalb, Chry-
solora, Pacific Supreme, Ivory and

Recent awards made at the Panama-
Pacific Exposition prove the preem-
inence of Massachusetts as a dahlia-
growing state. The grand prize was
won by Forbes & Keith, of New Bed-
ford, who also took two silver medals
for seedlings. R. & J, Farquhar & Co.
were awarded the medal of honor and
Geo. H. Walker, of Dighton, Mass.,
captured a gold medal. B. Hammond
Tracy, of Wenham, and "William Sim,
of Cliftondale, captured gold medals
for gladioli. The Bay State Nurseries
and New England Nurseries each re-
ceived silver medals for hardy peren-
nials.

Cheer and other sorts,

Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, has
a grand crop of Halliday mums. His
single violets are good.

October proved a delightful month
climatically, the temperature being
above the average, precipitation below
normal and skies generally clear. No-
vember 1 there still were quantities of
outdoor flowers, such as salvias, cos-
mos, pompon mums, Japanese anemones,
geraniums, petunias and buddleias.
Hybrid tea roses still carry some ex-
cellent flowers.

Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, have
some fine Pink Sensation carnations.
Peerless Pink, Matchless, Jove, a light
pink seedling, Benora and Pink De-
light are some of their leaders.

W. F. Turner, of Woburn, and Cahill
& Beasley, of East Milton, are large
shippers of high-grade pansies.

M. Leibman is receiving an excellent
lot of Ivory and Halliday mums from
Peter Hylen, of Eandolph. Oswald
Ralph, of South Weymouth, has fin-
ished sending him a fine crop of Glory
of the Pacific mums.

At the annual election of directors
of the Boston Cooperative Flower Mar-
ket, held October 30, Perry E. Green, J.
Streiferd and Norris F. Comley were
elected in place of John Barr, L. E.
Small and Thomas Capers. The remain-
ing directors are the same as a year
ago. The market has had a successful
year, and prospects for the ensuing
year are excellent. The directors de-
cided not to have a banquet this year.

The Market.

I am glad to say that business con-
ditions are much better than those re-
ported for last week. Probably on
account of Halloween parties and so-
cial affairs, business has taken another
spurt. There is plenty of stock on the
market and most of it is arriving in
first-class condition. A heavy frost has
spoiled all outdoor flowers, which, even
so late in the season, were quite plenti-
ful. Dahlias, which were in the best of
condition before the frost, are all gone.
Most of the growers were picking flow-
ers all day Sunday, thereby saving many
dollars. The stock is confined to a
smaller variety and cheap flowers are
out of the question. Carnations are
slow this season and that makes it still
more diflBcult. However, the carnations
are larger and more fragrant and bring
a good figure. Chrysanthemums are the
popular flowers now and many vari-
eties are seen, all of which are fine.
Chrysolora, Touset, Chadwick and Chief-
tain are good sellers and bring a fair
price. In pompons, the yellow and pink
sell well. Minta and Garza are favor-
ites. Boses are good and are selling
well. Wards and Sunbursts have ex-
ceptionally good color. Shawyer and
Wm. Randolph Hearst sell nicely. Fine
bouvardias in pink, red and white meet
with ready buyers. Violets are not
selling so readily as they should. Val-
ley is extra good but high-priced.
Easter lilies are good and sell briskly,
but callas are scarce. Orchids are par-
ticularly fine. Tuberoses are letting up
now. Some extra fine cosmos, sheltered
from the frost, is exceptionally wel-
come at the present time. Good cycla-
mens and primulas sell rapidly, as do
the good mum plants received daily.

Various Notes.

Greenhouse reports show that men
are busy drawing sod and planting
bulbs. Bulbs are fine indeed this year.
The park department has planted over
250,000 bulbs so far and many remain
to be planted. Many new and choice
shrubs have been added to the park
collections.

Lars Granson, of The Flower Shop,
who has been somewhat indisposed for
a week or more, is improving and is
back at the store.

William Ehmann, of Corfu, N. Y., is
shipping in some wonderfully fine Chief-
tain mums, which are well liked and
sell rapidly. David Scott, of Corfu, is
sending in several varieties of mums.

Among the visitors last week were
Edward K. Sithens, of the Bowen-Dun-
gan Co., Philadelphia; Henry C. Heile-
mann, representing W. B. Lake, Phila-
delphia; John B. Fridlington, of the
Wright & Graham Co., New York;
Harry Meyer, of Louis Meyer & Bro.,
New York; H. Neubrand, of A. N.
Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; the repre-
sentative of the Fajimi Co., of New
York, and Max A. Fierstein, of the
Moore Seed Co., Philadelphia.

Another rehearsal previous to the
Cleveland trip was held at the Elks'
Bowling Club by the members of the
Rochester Florists' Bowling Club, Octo-
ber 29, who will bowl in the Cleveland
show tournament.

A number of Halloween windows were
used by the florists last week, and all

Sons had an artistic arrangement in
which cats and flowers predominated.
H. E. Wilson displayed a large horn of
plenty which was covered with yellow
crepe paper. The mouth of the cornu-
copia was filled with all kinds of vege-
tables. Large yellow and white chrys-
anthemums were on display. The Eoch-
ester Floral Co. showed much taste in
its arrangement. Large pumpkins filled
with flowers, as well as pretty flower
baskets, made a fine showing. E. C.
Armbrust had a good window of corn-
stalks and baskets. A. W. Gillman had
two mammoth pumpkins, which were
grown from his own seed.

F. C. Schlegel 's Sons report good busi-
ness during the last few weeks. Their
greenhouses are filled with good Thanks-
giving stock.

J. B. Keller Sons are handling bulbs
this year at their store. The sale of
bulbs has been unusually lively and
business on the whole is good.

Several beautiful decorations were
supplied by florists for the celebration
attending the opening of the Baker
theater.

AJCZUOAV SEED TXAOS A8800IATI0V.
Pimldent, John M. Lopton, Uattltack. L. I.;
■•eraUrj-Trauarar. 0. B. Keadel. OlcTcuuid. O.

In the big onion set district south of
Ohicago there are thousands upon thou-
sands of empty trays stacked around the
fields.

A WELL appointed seed store has been
opened by the Planters Seed Co., of Amer-
icus, Ga. W. C, Gardner is manager of
the store, which has as a motto, "We
Sell Seeds That Grow."

Early in December Interstate Com-
merce Commission Examiner Waters will
take testimony at Lincoln, Neb., in the
complaint of the Griswold Seed Co. vs.
the C. & S. E. R., involving rates on
seeds.

As from forty to fifty per cent of
the bean crop was destroyed by frost
the latter part of August, and what re-
mained was further damaged by the wet
weather, many seedsmen believe that not
even the seed for the crop will be re-
covered.

Lester L. Morse, San Francisco, ex-
president of the American Seed Trade
Association, and his wife were guests at
the Blackstone hotel, Chicago, last week
while en route to the Atlantic coast. They
were accompanied by O. L. Coulter, of
C. C. Morse & Co.

As the result of a romance that had its
beginning in St. Luke 's hospital, Chicago,
about a year ago, A. D. Heffron, a de-
partment manager in the Albert Dickin-
son Co., and Miss Lina E. Brown, who
nursed him back to life and healthy will
be married November 6.

W. A. Davis, head of the W. A. Davis
Seed Co., of Bozeman, Mont., which has
contracted for a large acreage of seed
peas this year, says that the general aver-
age yield per acre is high. In one var-
iety, Perfection, Mr. Davis says no yield
fell below forty bushels per acre. He has
contracted for 200 acres of that variety.

The cable brings brief word from Ber-
lin via London that "the parcel post
service to America has been discontinued
until further notice. No official reason
for the discontinuance is given." But it
means a great deal to seedsmen, in (Ger-
many and America, as the mail has been
bringing large quantities of the smaller
and more valuable seeds, especially flower
seeds.

The yearly meeting of the Western
Packers' Association at Hotel Sherman,
Chicago, October 27 and 28, was, from
the standpoint of the sweet corn canners
in particular, a complete success. The
sweet corn conditions are improving and
the business outlook is favorable. Among
the visitors were Charles P. Guelph, of
the J. B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N.
Y. ; C. B. Coe, of D. M. Ferry & Co., De-
troit, Mich., and Mr. Mather, of the Ever-
green Park Seed Co.

A. H. Smith, treasurer of the Leonard
Seed Co., Chicago, has been east attend-
ing to the prosecution of a suit for dam-
ages filed against Isaac Seerata & Son,
Bridgeton, N. J., for non-acceptance of
a car of onion sets sold under contract.
The contract price was from $1.30 to
$1.50 per bushel. Judgment was recov-

THE MATTER OF PRICE ,

There is an old saying that the
best is the cheapest. It is so
common that much of its effect
is lost. Nevertheless it is a true
saying. The best is the cheapest.
A man who buys a $2.50 pair of
shoes and wears them three
months is paying twice what a
man pays who buys a pair at
$5.00 and wears them a year.
The florist who rents a store on
a back street for $20.00 per
month — if he wants results — is
paying a tremendously higher
price than the man who rents
one on the main thoroughfare at
$200.00 a month. The same
rule applies to lily bulbs— the
best is the cheapest. This is a
fundamental fact. It is a scien-
tific truth. You can buck against
it, just as you can against any
fundamental fact, but you cannot
change the fact one iota. First,
last, and all the time, get the
best Uly bulbs, if you want the
maximum results at the minimum
of expenditure to accomplish
these results. The best lily bulbs
in the world are without a doubt
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum.
This is a fact backed by ten years'
proof — more profit has been made
with this brand than any brand
ever sold. Prices are as follows:

$16.00 per case of 400 bulbs, 6z 8

16.00 ' 300 " 7i 9

19.00 200 " 9x10

NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER.

the difference between the contract price
and the amount actually sold for, and
costs. On his return, Mr. Smith visited
Philadelphia. S. F. Leonard, president
of the company, has returned from a
trip through Iowa and Nebraska, where
he has been looking over crops of corn
and vine seeds.

It looks like a year when sweet com
for seed will be a decidedly undependable
article.

Wax beans are reported as bringing
$14 a bushel, but are practically out of
the market.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, sold
1,000 bushels of their Leonard's Narrow
Grain Evergreen sweet corn on the floor
during the session of the Western Pack-
ers' Association.

While the imports of Dutch bulbs
through the port of New York this season
have run a little heavier than a year ago,
the Canadian imports are passing through
the United States this year, because of
the interruption of the usual transporta-
tion facilities, and should be reckoned off
in computing the quantities consumed in
our markets.

ities of the company and be in every-
way a complete and modern seeds plant.
The buildings to be erected in the
spring will take over the business now
done in the large St. Louis Park ware-
house, will house the stocks of onion
sets, thirty-one carloads of which are
now in the Green & De Laittre build-
ing on Third street, N., will take in
several hundred carloads of seed now
in the Security warehouse, and will care
for the cleaning, packing and milling
of the company's seeds. The general
offices will be continued for a year or

nue. G. W. A.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

William P. Stubbs, of Wood, Stubbs
■& Co., Louisville, Ky., commenting on
the vagaries of the seed business, es-
pecially at this time, quoted from
what purported to be the latest bulle-
tin, previous to shipment, from a for-
eign shipper: "One-fourth crop of
beets, carrots and onions; radishes and
turnips considerably less; some kinds
■of turnips almost nil. ' ' Among home
growers salsify is a short crop. In
red and black Valentine beans, of which
Mr. Stubbs' contract called for 1,000
bushels of each, and for 3,000 bushels
of Kentucky Wonder, a yield of sixty
per cent is reported. These are load-
ers in the south. In grasses, orchard
^rass, redtop and Kentucky blue, a
good harvest is reported, with prices
steady just now, but with a tendency
to advance, although redtop recently
dropped in price. A scarcity of onion
seed, especially white, is expected for
some time. Good deliveries of sweet
peas, including one popular sort which
bas never been delivered in full quota,
have arrived, and as the quantity was
almost quadrupled in the contract,
there will be plenty for customers. Mr.
Stubbs mentioned this, showing the
chances taken in estimating receipts
and the endeavor of the grower to
fill his part of the contract. The
hardy plant department is proving
to be a valuable adjunct to the retail
branch of the business.

The Ohio Valley Seed Co., of Evans-
ville, Ind., reports one of the best sea-
sons in its experience. Cereals and
grasses are retailing well. There is a
bright future.

The Ileldt Co., of Evansville, says
the sale of sprayers was poor last sea-
son. This is a general record, owing
to the moist summer. Sales of field
seeds and implements were fOlly "up to
the average, said Manager W. Munro.

The Yopp Seed Co., of Paducah, Ky.,
attributes the increase in its business
largely to the monthly bulletin mailed
to the country patrons, especially dur-
ing the dull months. Seasonable litera-
ture is appreciated. W. M.

- DECORATION BY A. O. STEIN.

Members of the S. A. F. who attended
the convention in San Francisco may
recognize, in the photograph reproduced
herewith, the teakwood paneling of the
Italian room of the St. Francis hotel.
Although the hotel was built shortly
after the fire of 1906, the first wedding
to be held in the Italian room took
place only recently. A large order for
decorations came with it. Garlands of
white asters and masses of tiger lilies,
arranged against a background of feri^s
and oak leaves, were the flowers used.
The garlands were strung so as to form
an aisle leading up to the wedding
canopy. The method of lighting should
be noticed. Candle-shaped electric light
» globes, in keeping with the candelabra
on the altar, were placed in the up-
turned bowls of the supports upon
which the floral ropes were strung. The
occasion was the Patek-Newman wed-
ding. A. O. Stein gets the credit for
the decoration. , ,

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

A few hot days last week brought
stock to the market rapidly and for a
time there was more or less of a glut,
consisting chiefly of chrysanthemums
and roses. A saving factor was the
automobile show, which used a large
quantity of flowers and thereby greatly
helped to relieve the pressure. Business
varies considerably from day to day
and, while there are some orders for
social affairs, funeral work is the main-
stay of the trade. Among the new ar-
rivals last week were a few early ra-
nunculus blooms, which are unusually
attractive at this time of the year.

Pasadena Society Sbow.

The eighth annual flower show of the
Pasadena Horticultural Society was
held at Central park, Pasadena, Octo-
ber 28 to 30. In the matter of exhibits
the show was the largest and most suc-
cessful ever held by the society. The
two large tents housing the exhibits
were filled long before all the displays
were staged.

In the competitive classes, the large
plants were well grown, but some of
them were a trifle thin. The pompons
were splendid and the cut flowers were
large and had been cut at the proper
time. The trade groups were fine, prob-
ably the best of all coming from Ed-
ward Bust, of South Pasadena. This
entry consisted of nursery stock, as-
sorted as to color and fitness for cer-
tain outdoor positions.

The Clemence nursery had handsome
gtoups of small flowering and foliage
plants. Paul Howard showed a minia-
ture mansion, the lawn and grounds of
which were planted with specimen
plants of many kinds. The Germain
Seed & Plant Co., of Los Angeles,
showed a group of palms, ferns and fo-
liage plants, interspersed with blooms
t)f dahlias and cosmos. The material of
this entry was good, but it was crowded
because of a sudden change in the posi-
tion at the last minute. George Smith,

Wedding Decoration by A. O. Stein, in a San Francisco HoteL

of Los Angeles, showed specimen stock
and the Morris & Snow Seed Co., of
Los Angeles, had a good collection of
Dutch, French and other bulbs, sur-
rounded by plants.

The Campbell Seed Store and the
Patton Seed Co., both of Pasadena, had
exhibits of seeds and bulbs. H. W.
Turner, of Montebello, staged a dozen
large vases of the newer roses. Mrs.
W. S. Laurie, of Pasadena, had a dis-
tinctive display of dahlias in many va-
rieties.

The opening day of the show was ex-
tremely hot and some of the flowers
were badly wilted early in the day.
Unfortunately, there was not sufficient
room in the* tent to permit good stag-
ings. The exhibits were so crowded

that it was impossible to view all of
them with coinfort. A larger show
■place could have been obtained, but
President Shields said no one expected
such large entries in the plant classes.
The judges were William Donald, of
Santa Barbara; Alec Urquhart, William
Hertrich, E. H. Rust and William Far-
rell, of Pasadena, and H. W. Turner and
Frank Shearer, of Los Angeles.

Various Notes.

T. D. Robertson, of Fullerton, hag
built three greenhouses on Common-
wealth avenue, where he intends to
move all his stock shortly. Two of the
houses are 20x66 and one 12x66. These
houses are to take care of the flowers
and plants to be grown for the retail

trade. A lath house of about one acre
has been added to the range, which
shows that Mr. Robertson is going after
the business at FuUerton in earnest.
He has always grown fine stock and,
now that he is to locate on a good busi-
ness street, Mr. Eobertson should build
up a big business.

C. E. Morton has sold his flower store
at Phoenix, Ariz., to J. Brazee and, ac-
cording to latest reports, will return
to Los Angeles, where all will be glad
to see him in improved health.

The automobile and flower show was
a great success, according to the pro-
moters. There certainly was a fine lot
of automobiles.

Some of the finest chrysanthemums
ever seen in this city, either at private
or commercial places, were the mums
noted at the Wolf skills ' . & Morris
Goldenson store last week. The im-
mense blooms of "William Turner, which
would have taken a high rating at any
exhibition, were superb in every way.

W. Wern, manager of Wright's
Flower Shop, reports business as im-
proving nicely. The stock on display
in the windows is proof that this store
is out for the business. Mr. Wright
sticks to the old Mme. Chatenay rose.

Daniel MacRorie, of the MacRorie-
McLaren Co., of San Francisco, passed
through the city en route to San Diego,
but promised President Shields, of the
Pasadena Horticultural Society, that he
would be back in time for the show at
the CrOwn City.

Congratulations on the. condition of
its stock are coming to the L. A. Floral
Co. in the form of repeat orders from
distant points like New Orleans and
Texas cities. H. R. Richards.

SAN FRANCipOO.

The Market.

The local market situation is hardly
as satisfactory as for some time past.
Betail business, though good, is not
rushing, and flowers of several kinds
are a little overplentiful. The daily
offerings include an appreciable quan-
tity of gladioli, as well as a lot of cos-
mos, gaillardias, marigolds and other
small summer stock. Dahlias, though
far past their prime, are plentiful, while
seasonable stock of all kinds is coming
in more freely. Indeed, the market is
almost overloaded with chrysanthe-
mums, which are in almost infinite va-
riety of size and color and clean up
rather slowly at easy prices. Among
the best are Wm. Turner and Maud
Jeffries, Clara WeUs, Bonnafifon, Chryso-
lora, Hunter and Chieftain. Several
varieties are even finer than last year.
Of course great quantities are now be-
ing shipped. The eastern shipments,
with the new express service, probably
aggregate several carloads a week of
mums alone, but there are still more
than enough. Pompons and Chinese
outdoor mums are also offered in large
quantity and variety.

Violets are in ample supply and the
quality is first-class, though a little rain
will improve them. They are now fig-
uring largely in the shipping trade. A
good shipping demand is also noted for
asparagus, adiantum and Mexican ivy,
which are plentiful, and for Cecile
Brunner roses, which are a little scarce,
but of nice quality. There is a fine cut
of roses. Ophelia is excellent and
moves well everywhere. Russell, Shaw-
yer and White Killarney are doing well,

: iTh© Market.

Business for the month of October
was quite satisfactory, there being a
marked increase over that of October
of last year. The volume of local sales
was greater and the demand from out-
of-town points was more than doubled.
There has been no stock wasted, for
the stronger demand and the decreased
supply of stock have brought the mar-
ket to an even balance. Both grow-
ers and retailers have made more
money, and the public has been as well
served.

A few varieties of locally grown
mums, such as Alice Byron, were added
to the list last week. Cattleya labiata
is the principal variety of orchid and
the supply of it meets the requirements.
Sufficient rain has fallen to enable the
nurserymen to begin lifting stock,
which is said to be in an excellent con-
dition. Carnations are coming in more
freely, but at times are scarce, espe-
cially the white varieties. There are
enough roses in all colors. Several of
the stores had Halloween displays last
week.

Growers Discuss Credits.

Answering tbe call of the growers'
committee of the Portland Floral So-
ciety, a number of growers met Octo-
ber 26. The question of introducing
a credit system, wherebv the responsi-
bility of retailers could be ascertained,
was discussed in detail and many of
those present were in favor of it.

It was decided to establish a coopera-
tive buying plan. James Forbes, A.
Bahn and J. G. Bacher were named as
a buying committee. All growers,
whether members of the Portland Floral
Society or not, have the privilege of
buying through this committee, and will
find it to their advantage to do so.

Letters were ordered sent to all the
growers in this vicinity, asking them to
attend the growers' meeting to be held
in the Masonic Temple November 16,
at 7 p. m. The Portland Floral Society
holds its meeting at 8 o'clock the same
evening.

If any grower has been overlooked in
making up the mailing list, let him con-
sider this notice an invitation to at-
tend the meeting.

Various Notes.

Karl Bestel, landscape worker, grows
violets as a side line to his business.
He specializes on the Czar, the small
double variety.

L. Doring, of the Max Smith store
force, has returned from a hunting trip
to the Pea Vine range of the Siskiyou
mountains. His party brought home
three deer and had splendid fishing.

The "Van Kirk Floral Co. reports that
its cut of carnations is increasing, but
still is short of the demand. To avoid
a possible glut during October, the
plants in two of the houses were cut
back.

Clark's Flower Shop, at 430 Wash-
ington street, reports a steady increase
in business.

D. M. Cookingham has set perennials
on the grounds surrounding his green-
houses on East Sixty-second street.

For several years he has grown toma-
toes on a portion of the grounds, but
the prices for them have been so low
during the last two seasons that the
crop did not pay. Mr. Cookingham's
greenhouses are filled with young bed-
ding stock, which he intends to whole-
sale.

The Portland branch of the Wool-
worth stores has opened a department
in which plants are sold for 5 cents,
10 cents and 15 cents each, including
the pots. These small plants are fur-
nished by local growers and the effect
of their sale on the general trade will
be watched with interest.

The greenhouses of the Wilson-Crout
Co. are well filled with good-looking
stock. The benches of Pacific Supreme
mums have all been cut, and a bench
of Boman Gold and one of Old Gold
are just coming into crop. The blooms
on a lot of potted mums are beginning
to open. Considerable space is given
to Sprengeri. One house is filled with
poinsettias, three with carnations, two
with benched mums, and the rest with
miscellaneous stock. J. A. Wilson, man-
ager of the company, says business
prospects are more encouraging than
they were last year.

C. G. Euenitz is now assisted by his
daughter at the upper Washington

An amendment to its charter has been
filed by the El Paso Nursery Co., of El
Paso, Tex., decreasing its capital stock
from $20,000 to $15,000.

A RECEIVER was appointed October 20
for the Franklin Davis 'Nursery Co., of
Baltimore, Md. Details will be found
under "Business Embarrassments."

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has upheld the complaint of Coe, Converse
k Edwards, of Fort Atkinson, Wis., that
the rate of 30% cents per hundred pounds
on nursery stock from Vincennes, Ind.,
to Fort Atkinson is unreasonable, because
it is in excess of the aggregate of the in-
termediate rates. A refund has been
ordered paid to the complaining nursery-
men. __^

USE OF AESENATE OF CALCIUM.

In its investigations of insecticides
and possible additions to the present
list of insecticidal and fungicidal mate-
rials, the U. 8. Department of Agri-
culture obtained encouraging results
with arsenate of calcium. In these ex-
periments the effects of arsenate of
calcium, both alone and combined with
lime-sulphur solution, were tested in
comparison with arsenate of lead alone
and in combination with lime-sulphur.
The arsenate of calcium, as was the ar-
senate of lead, was used at the rate of
two pounds of each fifty gallons of
water. In all the experiments the ar-
senate of calcium gave satisfactory re-
sults in killing the larvie of the codling
moth, tent caterpillar, tussock moth,
etc., -without burning the foliage. In
a number of cases its killing action was
somewhat slower than, but compared fa-
vorably with, the arsenate of lead.
Since it can be produced more cheaply
than the lead arsenate, it would appear
to have distinct value, although it has
not been sufficiently tested to permit
recommending it unreservedly for gen-
eral use. Where arsenate of calcium
was combined with lime-sulphur it was,
as a rule, even more effective as a
poisoning agent than when used alone
and did not lessen the value of the lat-
ter as a fungicide. When these com-
Jounds are combined, the amount of
oliage consumed by the larvae is less
than where the arsenate of calcium is
used alone.

In tests in 1914 a commercial arsen-
ate of calcium (paste), arsenic oxide
18.82 per cent, with lime-sulphur solu-
tion, gave excellent control of the cod-
ling moth in comparison with arsenate
of lead and with unsprayed plats.
Where arsenate of calcium was used,
98.79 per cent of the apples were sound;
arsenate of lead showed 99.44 per cent

apples were free from damage.

The following will be found to be a
convenient way of making arsenate of
calcium :

stone Itme (90 per cent CaO), 55 ponnds.

Sodium arsenate, fused (dry powdered), 65%
A82O5, 100 pounds.

Water, 26 gallons.

Place the stone lime in a wooden container and
add a small amount of water. Just enough to
start slaking. When slaking Is well under way,
pour In the sodium arsenate, which should first
have been dissolved in hot water. Keep stirring
until the lime has thoroughly slaked. Sufficient
water should be added from time to time to pre-
vent burning.

The resulting arsenate of calcium
should contain about eighteen per cent
of arsenic oxide. In making this com-
pound it will of course be necessary to
know approximately the calcium oxide
and arsenic oxide content of the mate-
rials employed and to vary the formula
accordingly. The by-product is largely
sodium hydroxide, which should be de-
canted if the insecticide is to be used
on tender foliage.

WE INVITE all carnation growers who are attending the
Chicago Floral Festival to join the excursion to our green-

houses at Joliet. We want you to see AVIATOR growing.

^^"^^"^^■^■■■■■■■■'■'^^^"■^^^ When looking over the plants you will agree with us that
it is the freest-blooming carnation ever produced. There are larger-flowering varieties, but there is none
that can compare with AVIATOR for productiveness. Its intense scarlet coloring is incomparable.

A special train will leave Chicago the day of the banquet, at 11:45, via Rock Island,
and return to Chicaeo about 5:30, in plenty of time for all to attend the banquet.

HYDRANGEAS

-•*• >

Oar Hydrangeas are all grown in the open ground during the summer, where they make a very luxuriousv'
growth, producing heavy heads. They are potted up in August and are thoroughly rootbound in .,
October. They are extra heavy this season and will not only produce flowers from' the shoots but also
from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

The Market.

Business last week was good, con-
sidering the time of the year. With
cooler weather coming on, trade has
brightened up. The calls for corsages
and flowers for dances and fall festi-
vals come as harbingers of good busi-
ness. Halloween decorations greatly
aided the sales. Chrysanthemums are
scarce as yet and the stores are prac-
tically void of these every night. Car-
nations are improving wonderfully.
Boses, too, in all grades and varieties,
are in good supply.

Business, taken as a whole, is bet-
ter than at this same period a year ago.

First Fall Show.

With but a few days intervening
until Toledo's first flower show, the
arrangements are nearing completion,
and both wholesale and retail florists
are sanguine as to the effective stag-
ing and skillful management of the
exhibits. The Art Museum is already
handsomely trimmed with wild smilax,
and the tables and platforms for indi-
vidual exhibits are completed.

Extensive advertising throughout the
city, and folders that are being sent
out in all parcels, have given the show
extensive publicity. The committees
in charge of displays, publicity, enter-
tainment and social matters have been
doing their utmost to make this first
annual show for the public a grand
success.

The Toledo Florists' Club wishes to
extend to all members of the trade a
cordial invitation to be present on one
of the three days, November 7, 8 and 9.

Various Notes.

Mrs. J. B. Freeman was exceedingly
busy last week with funeral work.

William Feniger added a new deliv-
ery car to his equipment last week.

Julius Blauman, who recently pur-
chased the greenhouses of the late
John F. Gratopp, is devoting his time
to growing carnations and has some
fine flowers.

The Lindley Floral Co., a newly or-
ganized firm, on St. Clair street, re-
ports business excellent. A great ad-
vantage for this enterprising young
firm is the fact that they are right in
the theater row, and the handsomely
trimmed windows at all times are a
great advertisement for them.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

With almost ideal weather, trade is
increasing rapidly and everyone is busy.
Parties and dances are creating a de-
:mand for bouquets and decorations,
and weddings are numerous. Funeral
work also has been heavy, a good part
of it coming from agents in near-by
towns.

Stock is good and generally there is
plenty of it. So far none has been
thrown away and at times there is a
scarcity. The chrysanthemum season is
really on and the quality of the stock
never was better. There is a large cut
of short and medium-stemmed roses,
which are practically all used by the
local trade. Carnations are getting bet-
ter as the weather becomes cooler.
Though the stems are rather short, the
blooms are fairly good and the cut is
increasing each day.

Various Notes.

C. W. Crouch is cutting some of the
finest chrysanthemums ever grown in
Knoxville, and although the crop is the
largest he ever had, they sell out every
day and sometimes have to be cut a
little green to fill orders. A light may
be seen in his store almost any night,
which is good evidence that he is busy.

Mrs. "W. R. Eyno is exceedingly busy
with wedding work; before she gets
one job completed there is another
waiting for her. At times she finds it
is a hard matter to obtain enough val-
ley for her bouquets. She makes a
specialty of growing maidenhair ferns,
which she uses to good advantage in
wedding work.

With three stores in operation, A. H.
Dailey is doing a fine business. His
new store, recently opened on North
Gay street, is proving a success.

Chas. L. Baum is having the best fall
season in the history of his business.
Both retail and wholesale trade are
as good as the supply of stock will
permit. He had one of the most at-
tractive Halloween windows in the
city, in which he displayed some of the
latest Japanese novelties in ferns.

A. J. McNutt, commonly referred to
as the "Big Florist in the Market
House," is handling a heavy trade and
is having a goodly cut of everything in
season. B. K M.

Huntsville, Ala. — John Scott has re-
turned to the city after an absence
of several weeks.

This new fern is far superior to any of the crested ferns now on the
market. , It is a rapid grower, has splendid foliage, fronds stand
up well and do not lie down in center. Makes excellent plants
in both small and large sizes. -

The Florists^ Review

NOTHHBBB 4, 1915.

FOBT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business last week was better than
that of any previous week since the be-
ginning of the autumn season. The
social activities, weddings and funerals
have resulted in so many orders that
business for October was better than
that of October of 1913 and 1914. The
market is considered better than that
of last spring.

Stock of all kinds is in fine condition.
Chrysanthemums are taking the lead
for all social functions and for funeral
sprays. Wells' Late Pink, Chrysolora,
Major Bonnaffon, Eobinson and October
Trost are the best varieties. Among
the roses Shawyer is showing up un-
usually well and is a great favorite.
Russell is a good seller, and Radiance,
Sunburst and Milady have shown great
improvement during the last two weeks.
Carnations are not so plentiful, but
their quality is steadily improving.
There are fine valley and cattleyas to
be had. American Beauties are plenti-
ful.

Various Notes.

A. J. Lanternier & Sons are cutting
fine yellow mums. Their chrysanthe-
mum plants are good sellers. This con-
cern's special sale on Whitmani and
Boston ferns last week was unusually
successful.

The Bradley Flower Shop reports a
good sale on bulbs. Mrs. Bradley fur-
nished about fifty corsages for the ban-
quet of the Retail Merchants' Asso-
ciation last week.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey had an order
for several hundred chrysanthemums
for a football game at Ann Arbor,
Mich. They also furnished 5,000 roses
and carnations for the opening day of
a new school. The Vesey greenhouses
arp cutting large quantities of Shawyer
artd Russell roses; also valley and splen-
did Cattleya labiata.

Larry Holland, of the M. Rice Co.,
Philadelphia, was a visitor last week.

The chrysanthemums at the Flick
Floral Co. greenhouses are making a
finie showing. Chrysolora, Wells' Late
Pink and Robinson are the best vari-
eties. Aaron Shive, superintendent of
the greenhouses, reports a fine cut of
ShSfWyer .«ttd Sunburst roses. Lady
Hiltingdoii, Ward and the Killarneys
are Bhxjwing up well. The carnation
stottt Ui'lh an excellent condition. Dec-
orations for thirty tables, consisting
of '-Chinese bowls filled with Shawyer
and Russell roses, and unique nosegays
for 120 guests recently were executed
by Miss Flick. Miss Flick leaves No-
vember 6 to attend the . Toledo and
Cleveland flower shows. R. F.

Greenhouse Heating.

^^— ■ ■ ■ ■ ■— "

SuBSCKiBERS are invited to writ* the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to Imj,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

SMOKE ANNOYS THE NEIOHBOBS.

Is there a smoke consumer in exist-
ence which hau given entire satisfac-
tion? I have a 90-horsepower, hori-
zontal steam boiler, in which I burn
soft coal slack. My neighbors are com-
plaining about the smoke and soot.
What can I do to prevent itt

G. r.— Colo.

I do not know of any smoke con-
sumer that can be recommended for a
small range. Smoke is unconsumed
particles of carbon, and the way to
prevent it is to secure more perfect
combustion. The use of rather high
and large chimneys, so as to provide a
better draft, is helpful. Care in firing
also has much to do with the amount
of smoke. If the coal is spread evenly
in a thin layer over a bed of live coals,
the amount of smoke will be greatly
reduced.

A BOOM IN THE COAL TBADE.

The degree of activity or inactivity
in the coal trade is undoubtedly one of
the most reliable symptoms of the con-
dition of the entire business world.
There are few industries that can be
carried on without the use of fuel. In
a general way, though not in each sepa-
rate instance, the consumption of coal
'must increase or decrease in proportion
to the enlargement or shrinkage of the
volume of trade in other commodities.
Business is a huge monster that eats
coal, carloads and trainloads of coal,
and never desists from the feeding pro-
cess except when somnolent.

As such a symptom or sign of the
times, the coal trade is especially dis-
tinct in its manifestations this week.
Students of the coal market state that

prosperity in the coal business is a di-
rect result of the prosperity in other
lines of business. If the country is em-
barking on a period of great business
activity, as it seems to be, there is not
the least possibility of the coal man
failing to get his share of the profits.
He cannot escape from tho operation of
cause and effect, and in this case he is
not trying to escape.

Florists may be able to derive some
benefit from the fact that smokeless
coal appears to be the exception that
is necessary to prove the rule. The fio-
rists' favorite kind of fuel is about the
only kind that is not yet included in
the sweep of the newly enlarged de-

HOUSES ON DIFFERENT LEVELS.

I am enclosing a rough sketch, which
will enable you, I hope, to give me
some advice on the piping of my two
houses for hot water. The houses, as
you see, are of the same size, 12x36,
eight feet high to the ridge and four
and one-half feet high to the eaves.
They are connected and stand end to
end, but one of them is on the surface
of the ground, while the other is three
feet below the ground level. The floor
of the boiler pit, which is at the outer
end of the lower greenhouse, is only
two feet below the floor of that house
and cannot be sunk any deeper. The
houses have glass ends and sides, down
to ten inches above the benches. The
side door and the partition between
the houses are glass.

I wish to heat the lower house to a
temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, and
the upper house to a temperature of 45
to 55 degrees. I should like to use
only 2-inch pipe if possible, as I have
several thousand feet of that size on
hand. I shall purchase a gas-burning
boiler. There is pressure in the water
mains, but I prefer to use an expansion
tank if possible. The outside tempera-
ture seldom drops below zero in this
climate. E. E. E.— Okla.

The two facts, that the houses are on
different levels and that there is a
door in the side wall of one house, com-
plicate matters somewhat.

Run three 2-inch flow pipes from the
boiler to the farther end of the upper
house. Place one near each plate and
the other about eighteen inches below
the ridge, giving them a slight rise.
At the farther end of the house con-
nect each flow pipe with two 2-inch re-
turns, to be carried under the benches.
In case there are only two benches,
place the returns from the middle flow
pipe on the walls, carrying one return
on each wall back to the boiler. The
flow on the east side can be carried
over the door, while the returns can be
dropped so low that they will be below
the door.

The fact that one of the houses is
lower than the top of the boiler makes
a difference as to the location of the
expansion tank. It should be attached
to the highest part of the flow pipe and
all of the ether flow pipes should be
connected with it.

The weather last week was unusually
warm and the dahlias and cosmos that
were not killed by the early frosts
were flourishing. This means a drop
in sales, for many people will not buy
flowers when they can have them in
their own gardens. However, weather
suflBciently cold to kill the outdoor
stock cannot be long delayed. Chrys-
anthemums are now arriving in much
larger quantities and in more varieties.
The larger blooms are more abundant.
With the larger quantity of mums there
has been a reduction in price, though
good flowers still bring fair prices.
Carnations also are more abundant and
the prices for them are slightlv lower
than those of two weeks ago. The qual-
ity of carnations is better than that of
the earlier blooms. Roses are of good
quality and not overabundant. Violets
are arriving in small lots. Cosmos is
abundant and in good demand for bou-
quets. There are a few dahlias to be
had. Orchids are fairly abundant and
bring good prices. Gardenias have ap-
peared.

Large quantities of bulbs are being
sold in flower stores. Some of the flo-
rists say that business is excellent,
others that it is good but still too quiet
to please them.

Various Notes.

O. Kemp reports better business at
his store. Mr. Kemp's store is located
near a Catholic cemetery and, there-
fore, had a large sale of flowers No-
vember 1, which was observed by Cath-
olics and Episcopalians as All Saints'
day.

Kimmerle & Minder find business
brisk and expect a banner season. They
had a large quantity of funeral and
wedding work during the last few
weeks.

The Ivy Flower Shop reports sales
as being numerous during the last two
weeks. A nearby church recently ob-
served Rose Sunday, everyone attend-
ing the service being expected to wear
a rose. A large number of roses were
sold.

Davis & Davis, who recently started
in business as growers and wholesale
florists, at Central avenue and Grove
street, East Orange, have made an
excellent start, business developing
more quickly than was expected.

W. Fiers has moved from 4 North
Nineteenth street to 3 Greenwood ave-
nue. East Orange.

May's Flower Shop, 285 South
Orange avenue, enjoyed a big October,
with much funeral and wedding work.

Mrs. C. M. Hutchinson, of Hillside,
has completed the erection of two
greenhouses, 28x96 feet. The workshed
has been lengthened twelve feet and
two sections have been added to the
boiler.

The Union Square Floral Shop has
moved from 841 Elizabeth avenue,
Elizabeth, to 807 Elizabeth avenue,
where the facilities are much greater.
Since moving, business has greatly in-
creased, showing that the new store is
a better stand, though not far from the
old one. The proprietors are W. R.
Carter and G. B. Fink,

Charles Witheridge reports business
better but still capable of much im-
provement.

E rices have dropped. The shipping
usioess, however, is good. Boses are
in heavy supply and are not selling
as well as they did before the heavy
consignments of chrysanthemums ar-
rived. Chrysantheniums of all kinds
and sizes may be had, including pom-
pons. Carnations, though of better
quality than heretofore, are not selling
as well as a fortnight ago. Easter lilies
are plentiful. Dahlias and cosmos still
may be had. The first sweet peas
made their appearance last week. Oth-
er offerings include lily of the valley,
orchids and single violets. Greens ^re
plentiful.

PROVIDENCE, E, I.

The Market.

The business done last week was by
far the best that has been experienced
here this season and, generally speak-
ing, everybody cleaned up well. While
there does not appear to be so large a
supply as usual at this season, there is
a sufficiency for the demand. There
has been an unusual demand for au-
tumn foliage for window decorations
and those florists who were forehanded
have added a tidy sum to their receipts.

Chrysanthemums are the strength of
the market, both as to demand and
supply, with prices about the same as
this time last year.* Roses are coming
in well and carnations are showing con-
stant improvement. The vanguard of
violets have arrived but are making no
perceptible impression, nor will they
while the mums last.

Various Notes.

Alexander H. Johnson, of George
Johnson & Son, was one of the princi-

A Greenhouse on Broadway
Built on the Roof

Another Jacobs Greenhouse was
completed for C. C. Trepel. at 89th
Street and Broadway, New York.
This was an undertaking few
greenhouse builders would hare
attempted. Our plans were ac-
cepted by all Departments of the
City of New York, and the finished
job was approved by them.

Besides building a very modem and
up-to-date Greenhouse, we also in-
stalled an electric elevator which
runs from the store to the roof,
making it easily accessible for cus-
tomers.

No matter how difficult your green-
house problems are, we have
engineering brains to solve them—
besides, we can save money for you.

The Florists^ Review

NOTBUBCB 4, 1016.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Continued fair weather, with no
frost, has brought everything forward
rapidly, and as a result there is an
abundance of all kinds of flowers
again this week. Even the better
grades of Beauty roses are fairly plen-
tiful. Of course there are too many
chrysanthemums; there always are too
many at this time of year, but the
oversupply is not so great as it was a
year ago. Besides, there is a good de-
mand, with out-of-town business grow-
ing.

The first azaleas of the season
reached this city last week. It is not
yet certain that all that have been or-
dered will arrive, but the likelihood
is that they will.

Considerable trouble has developed
with the foreign bulbs, as many of
them have proved to be badly dis-
eased, especially the French bulbs and
the more expensive varieties of nar-
cissi. Many bulbs, though sound on the
outside, when cut have streaks of de-
cayed material that are infested with
a small mite. Others have a dry rot
that affects the base of the bulb. I
have never seen so many bad bulbs in
any previous season. Hyacinths are
diseased also, but, so far as I have seen,
the tulips are not affected. One lot of
17,000 Grand Soleil d'Or narcissi proved
to be all but worthless. I cut a lot of
the best that could be sorted from
them and found fifty per cent contained
decayed streaks.

Some of the best dahlias of the sea-
son were seen here last week. They
were Golden Gates and grew in a pro-
tected location. It may not be out of
place to remark that those who have
not dug their dahlias and cannas that
were cut by the early frost are taking
long chances on losing many of their
bulbs. The tops have already thrown
new growth a foot long and the tubers
will soon be so soft that it will be
difficult to keep them. Should there be
another week of warm weather, how-
ever, there will be some compensation,
as many of the shoots will be in bloom
by that time.

There seems to be a great deal of
building going on in the residence dis-
tricts cf the city this fall, and there
will be much landscape planting which,
but for the unseasonable weather, would
have to wait till another year.

Various Notes.

Mclntyre Bros, are offering the beft
line of evergreens in pots that I have
ever seen offered in the city. They are
of great decorative value to their store,
too.

There were several good weddings in
the city last week, and there was an-
other bride's bouquet of orchids and
valley, made by the Joy Floral Co.,
that merited special mention. If the
two similar bouquets I saw at their
place this fall are any indication, the
city is using more expensive decora-
tions this season than heretofore.
Where one or two such decorations are
sold, more are sure to be demanded.

The Hillcrest School Farm is busy
this week planting tulips and narcissi
for the next season's bulbs. Hyacinths
are being planted again in a small way,
as the results from the experiments
trith these bulbs thus far have been
good.

GARLAND CAST IRON GUTTER

IHERE ARE CERTAIN
exclusive features
(protected by patents) that
for over twenty years have
proved this to be the best
gutter on the market.

Garland Gutter is Aot
only practical in point of
service rendered, but it has
one feature which makes a
wonderful saving of material and labor in greenhouse con-
struction. If Garland Gutter is still giving satisfaction on
the first job in which it was used— if one of the largest grow-
ers in the world has seven miles of it in use— then it will
certainly pay you to use it in your greenhouses the next time
you build ; or, when you repair your present plant, be sure
and specify GARLAND GUTTER.

Prices and full detail* on request

GARLAND BOILER GRATES

We have found this to
be the very best Station-
ary Grate for general use
since it permits greater
circulation of air, hence

more rapid combustion of fuel. In emergencies, when greater

heat is required quickly,

it responds more rapidly P£^^^^^^^""^'^"'^»^v^nrnrm

than the ordinary type.

The Florists' Review

NOVHMBBB 4, 1815.

SYEACUSE, N. Y.

The Market.

Business was good last week and all
stock cleaned up at a good price. Chrys-
anthemums have the full swing of the
market. Carnations are more plentiful
and find a ready sale. Eoses continue
to do well and are sold out daily. Pom-
pons are in good demand. There is a
weak call for pink chrysanthemums,
but yellow and white are good sellers.

Various Notes.

W. E. Day, who has been ill, is slowly
recovering and hopes to be back at his
post soon. Clinton Brown, who is in
charge of the store, has been on the
jump with orders for weddings. Last
week the store had a good window fea-
turing mums.

Chester Harris has an attractive win-
dow of yellow and white mums, which
are selling briskly.

The Baker Eloral Co. is cutting a
batch of extra large William Turner
and Eoman Gold chrysanthemums. This
company was the first to have pom-
pon mums on the market. The carna-
tions leave nothing to be desired and
there is a good crop now on. Every-
one is pleased with Philadelphia, Cham-
pion and Matchless carnations.

The Syracuse Florists' Club has post-
poned the date of the chrysanthemum
show to November 11 to 13. The next
meeting of the club will be held at the
Werner Bultmann store, Noveipber 8.
All members should try to attdnd, as
plans for the chrysanthemum show wUl
be up for discussion. -«► •

At the L. Mulhauser greenhouses all
stock looks promising. Mr. Mulhauser
is making a specialty of rooted cuttings
of geraniums and vincas, which he sells
to the wholesale trade. He expects to
build another house next spring.

HAry Morris has had a fine dis-
play of plants in his store and a fresh
lot of roses could be seen in the icebox.

Bellamy Bros, are cutting some good
Chrysolora and Pacific Supreme mums.
A fine lot of geranium cuttings are
ready for the pots. H. F. B;

Bonham, Tex. — At the City Green-
houses, Baxter Setzler, manager, says
business is much better than last year
and it is thought the best demand in the
history of the florists' trade in Texas
is in early prospect.

Painesville, O. — A typical Holland
scene, with an old-time windmill and
tower and a stream of water, was a
feature window display at the Carl
Hagenburger Co. store some time ago.
J. A. Paquette, manager, was the artist.

nACK Frost has already blown his
chilly breath at you. Next he will
be shaking his fist.

The first thing you know he will sneak
in that house of yours, in which the
beating is not ready, and nip the noses
of your plants.

That would cost a pretty penny. A lot
more than it would to send at once to us
for the fittings you need; the boiler you
ought to have; or have our trouble men
come and auickly help you out.

If you need a bniler and are within 25
or 30 miles of our factory, we can deliver
it at once by motor truck at a slieht ex-
pense to you for cartage. But when it

comes to sending by freight— well, you
know how the railroads are sometimes,
and this may be one of those temper-
busting times. So don't delay ordering.

Our new Supply Book shows you every
fitting we make- new or old.

The boilers are there, and tables that
will tell you exactly how much they will
heat.

Pick out what you need. . "'•

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

William H. Englehardt, of the Idle-
wild GreenhouBes, Memphis, Tenn., was
greatly ""ffncouraged by the success at-
tending the twentieth anniversary of
the business. T. G. Owen sent in a flue
lot of stock from his range at Colum-
bus, Miss., for the occasion, and a free
distribution of the flowers gave the
company a big send-off for the next
lap of its career.

C. H. Hume, of the Memphis Floral
Co., remarked as he hung up the tele-
phone receiver, that he could hardly
appreciate the humor of the situation
when a patron desired to sell instead
of buy flowers, and hoped that the gen-
eral humidity would soon be followed
by a visit from Jack Frost, which
would stimulate the demand for the
fine roses and chrysanthemums now be-
ing cut.

J. J. Beneke, of St. Louis, Mo., will
soon celebrate the fortieth anniversary
of his business, at the same location.
One can hardly realize this, for he
must have begun unusually early in
life. He says he intends to retire soon
— pining for the orange groves of Cali-
fornia. Every order he receives for a
bride's wreath of orange blossoms
makes him more than ever determined
to abandon the familiar odor of store
flowers for the fragrance of the orange
and lemon flourishing outdoors.

J. W. Vestal & Son, of Little Eock,
Ark., are cutting good chrysanthemums
and roses. The shipping trade is inr-
creasing annually. W. M.

USINGEB'S UTTE£ANCES.

Business has been excellent and seems
to show that good flowers can be relied
on to sell at satisfactory prices. The
chrysanthemums are exceptionally good
this year and the demand for them is
heavy. Unless the weather becomes
cooler there will be few mums for
Thanksgiving. Carnations and roses
have improved rapidly in quality of

For H. W. Eropp we built three Ridge and Farrow
houses 28 by IdO feet and one 28 by 109 feet.

Mr. Eropt> bad some old-time, narrow, wooden
houses, which in their day had been money-makers
for his fathers. But they would not produce the kind
of stock d^anded today.

It was a case of build modem houses, or go out of
the business. Of course, growers don't go oat of
business. They keep getting into more and more
business. It's the way the growers have of growing.

HUl & Dupree carry on their business under the
name of the Indianola Floral Company. Their flower
shop, in the heart of Columbus, is as attractive as it
is prosperous looking.

In their two houses. 28 by 190 feet and 12 by 81
feet, they grow a lot of their potted stock, carnations
and ferns.

More and more, the shop owners are also owning
their greenhouses. It means just that much more
profit for the shop owner.

"TANK GRADE"
CYPRESS

No other lumHer manufactured is subjected to such close inspection and i« 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, hot beds, 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.

A BOOK, PLEASE

Vol. 3, CYPRESS Pocket Library, tells a lot about greenhouse construction; Vols. 4 and 20 are for the
farmei'. They contain plans for all out-buildings, and they are absolutely free. There are 41 of these books,
and you would better help yourself to them. Get the Carpentry Book, Vol. 36,. telling you how to make easy
a dozen hard jobs of carpentry; Vol. 37 is the big Silo Book. Both are full of plans for buildings and are
handsomely illustrated. ,

CAPACITY

Are you running to full capacity? Profit is realized
only when a full volume of business is being done. Do
you supply the demand or is it met with the aid of
flowers purchased from other sources? Ask yourself the
above questions and then decide if you are reaping the
profit that rightfully belongs to you.

THE TIME OF BIG PROFIT IS ALMOST HERE

Winter is the time when greenhouse profit is the highest
and the man who is prepared to meet the full demand
is the man who can write success after his name. There
are only a few remaining weeks before cold weather, but
time enough to build that additional house if you act
now. Write us your ideas and we will be prompt in send-
ing our estimate and prompt in turning out the material.

Have you ever built a DIETSCH house? It is not too late to bcEin now.

CARNATIONS.

We still have some very nice plants of carna-
tions left. Nothing will pay you better to fill
in after your mums, than to plant some of these
carnations. Put them close together, as the sea-
son is late and one flower from a plant will more
than pay for the plant, and a little later you
will have a good crop. When you have a rush
lot of funeral work yon will find them pretty
good property to have.

and money growing the small flowering strains?

PANSY PARK PERFECTION Is the most thor-
oughbred strain of giant show and fancy pansles,
the flowers of largest size and most perfect form.
I have made growing of pansy seeds and plants
a specialty for over 40 years, and it is the re-
sult of many years of breeding and selection. It
also contains every variety introduced by for-
eign growers., to date. Some of the reports:
"The pansy plants all look like good, healthy,
stocky plants, and we feel will come up to all
expectations.'' Henry J. Hasa & Son, Newport,
B. I. "I would like to get 4000 or 6000 of your
pansy plants. I saw a house of pansles from
your stock last winter and they were the finest
I ever saw." Harry W. Stewart, Rhinebeck,
N. Y. "Your pansy plants last year were the
l)est we ever had and blooms were satisfactory
in size and color." L. Muller, New Orleans, La.
"I Inclose $10.00 for pansy plants. This is the
6th year I have used your plants and each year
have found them satisfactory in size of flowers,
colors and other respects." M. J. McCabe. Wash-
ington. D. C. An Immense stock of fine fleld-
grown plants from seed sown In August In sandy
soil, thinly, broadcast, so that the plants grow
short and stocky, with extra good roots. Orer
75 varieties mixed, the reds, bronzes and best
fancy sorts in large proportion, lOuo, $3.00; 600,
$1.76; 6000, $14.00; 10,000, $27.00. Delivery bf

The Working Principle ot the

NetropoUtan Patented Eav;

In A B C LauKUBSe

If you light

a match and

hold it. the

heat won't

bother you

until the fire

touches your

fingers. Now

take a nail,

hold it at one

end and apply a lit

match at the other—

in a moment you

will have to drop it

because the heat has

been conducted to

your fingera.

That's the working
rinciple of the
Metropolitan Pa-
tented Eave, and
that's why it is self -
ice-clearing.

More than 90V. of the ^^^^^^^''.T^^^Ji^'A
Eave is In consUnt contact with the msiae
heat and being of one continuous piece of cast
iron the he" t penetrates right through tothe
outelde. That's why no snow or ice can accu-
mulate on a MetropoliUn Greenhouse. Heat
Sot penetrate eives that are made up of
two or more sections.

The Metropolitan Eave is but one «' the many
improvemenU we have made in Greenhouse
construction.
PUT YOUR GREENHOUSE PROBLEMS UP TO US.

We go anywhere in the U. S.
to sulTmit plans and prices.

The Workins Principle ot the

Metropolitan Patented Eav;

In A B C LanguaDre

If you light

a match and

hold it. the

heat won't

bother you

until the fire

touches your

fingers. Now

take a nail,

hold it at one

end and apply a lit

match at the other—

in a moment you

will have to drop it

because the heat has

been conducted to

your fingers.

That's the working
princi pie of the
Metropolitan Pa-
tented Eave, and
that's why it is self-
ice-clearing.

More than 90% of the Metropolitan Patented
Kftve is in constant contact with the inside
heat, and being of one continuous piece of cast
iron, the heat penetrates right through to the
outside. That's why no snow or ice can accu-
mulate on a Metropolitan Greenhouse. Heat
cannot penetrate eaves that are made up of
two or more sections.

The Metropolitan Eave is but one of the many
improvements we have made in Greenhouse
construction.

PUT YOUR GREENHOUSE PROBLEMS UP TO US.

We go anywhere in the U. S.
to submit plans and prices.
