Here's a Practical Man
If There Ever Was One

^>m

TWENTY years or so ago, our friend Mr. Breiten-
strater, of Dayton, Ohio, came to town as a
carpenter. While carpentering, he kept his eyes open
for chances to buy and sell a "
lot or a house now and again.

What he made he tucked away
in his sock.

Pretty soon the sock began to
bulge so it looked like a regular
Xmas one.

Then he began looking around
for a moderate sized piece of
land out in the country, where
he could do a bit of farming.

On finding it, he promptly
bought it, and as promptly paid
for it.

After a while he grew tired
of having his land yield him a
paying crop six months of the
year, and lie idle the other six.

So he built one greenhouse
28 ft. 4 ins. by 75 ft. 9 ins.

Made it pay.

When he had enough to pay
for another, he bought, it and
paid for it.

With the two he made more

All those wrinkles about Mr. Breitenstrater's

eyes are not humorous ores. There are several

that point to business shrewdness.

money in proportion than he did with the one. Soon
he built a third, and now he says the three pay
decidedly better in proportion than the two did.

He says he has proved to his
entire satisfaction that large
"houses cost less to work and
heat. He says his next house
will be a separate Iron Frame
one, 72 ft. wide or so.

Step by step this man has
made his way, and paid his way
as he made it. Step by step he
has proven to himself that our
modernly constructed houses
of a demonstrated, economical
width, are the paying houses
to buy.

If such a careful, practical
man finds Lord & Burnham
houses and Lord & Burnham' s
way of doing things so satisfac-
tory that he keeps on year after
year giving us business, doesn't
it look 10 you as if we were the
kind of a greenhouse concern
you have been waiting to hitch
up with?

Let's talk it over together.

MAGNOLIA FACTS

QYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you^uy now, under
the present conditions. ''

QDye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly double^

in prices since the war began,

as have also the paper cartons.
In spite of this, we are in posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnolia Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

CWe guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war, and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

CYou fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

QA maenolla leaf Is only \7orth ualnK if
It has been fiilly preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when you consider the poor val ue of these goods.

THE MUM SOCIETY

HOLDS 28th MEETING

The national organization of chrysanthemum growers, which has done
much valuable work for the trade, seems to depend on private gardeners
and novelty raisers for its existence, the great body of commercial cut
flower growers failing to participate in its activities. This week's meet-
ing and exhibition is at Philadelphia.

NFLAGGING zeal for the
society and the flower for
which it stands character-
izes the band of en-
thusiasts who constitute
the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety of America, or-
gaiHzed in Buffalo, Au-
gust ~^/i 889. From 1889
to 1901 inclusive, the
meetings of the society were held in
connection with the annual convention
of the S. A. F., but from 1902 the meet-
ings have been held in November, with
an exhibition of chrysanthemums under
the management of the society.

It thus was the twenty-eighth annual
meeting and the fifteenth annual ex-
hibition of the society
which was held No-
vember 8 at Horticul-
tural hall, Philadel-
phia, the exhibition
being staged in the
morning for judging
in the afternoon, with
the business meeting
in the evening.

Attendance Small.

The attendance of
members was small;
the wheel-horses were
there, the men who
have carried on the
work for years, but
not the rank and file
of the chrysanthemum
growers of the vicin-
ity, as one might with
reason expect. Presi-
dent Kleinheinz re-
ferred to this in his
annual address, say-
ing: "Again I must
make some remarks
about the membership
of this society. I
have referred to this
at the last two meet-
ings,, and have pointed
out what good the
Chrysanthemum So-

<'iety of America does
to the mum growers,
but the number of
new members is
mighty small. I again

terested in chrysan-
themums to give us

well rewarded by the work this society
does. I hope my successor as presi-
dent of this society will have the pleas-
ure to see the membership passing the
500 mark."

Continuing he said: "The exhibits
at this meeting speak for themselves.
The large-flowering varieties seem to
be at their highest and the raisers of
new varieties have to be wideawake
to keep in line with the present sorts.
It seems almost impossible to improve
on the existing varieties, but our
hybridizers are never idle and keep
on improving, with astonishing results.
Not only the large-flowering types have
the attention of our scientific breeders,
but the pompons, singles and decora-
tives have also been
taken care of. Great
improvements have
been made during the
last ten years."

Lauds Workers.

In greeting the mem-
bers President Klein-
heinz said:

"Once more we are
assembled to honor the
queen of the autumn
and to consider means
and ways to increase
the general interest in
its cultivation and to
further improve the al-
ready high standard of
the chrysanthemum.

"As your president
it gives me pleasure to
welcome you at this
convention in the city
of Philadelphia and I
hope that you will not
regret that you have
selected Philadelphia
for this meeting.

"Since our last
meeting one of our
most successful hybrid-
izers and introducers
of new mums has
passed awav, William
Wells, of Merstham,
Surrey, England. His
products are known
over the whole world
and for many of our
best varieties we have
to thank Mr. Wells.

"To the trade press
I wish to express my
thanks for the many
courtesies extended to
the officers of the so-

ciety during the last year. I also feel
it my duty to thank all the donors of
the handsome prizes, enabling us to
work out such a fine schedule for com-
petition.

"To the various committees who ex-
amine seedlings and sports I must ex-
press the thanks of the society for
their prompt and corract work.

"To the officers and^in^bers, I ex-
tend my thanks and apj*eciation for
their support during my three terms as
your president. Our society must pros-
per while our members continue to sup-
port and back up our officers. I regret
very much that I am not in a position
today to announce a great financial
prosperity during my terms, but I as-
sure you that if it would be withiujny
power this society would be the strong-
est of all in membership and financial
standing.

"I close with best wishes to my suc-
cessor. May he be able to accomplish
and finish the work started and carried
on by the officers in the past for the
good of this society."

The Exhibition.

The exhibition, which was staged as
a second-day feature of the annual au-
tumn exhibition of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, brought out some
extremely fine blooms, but the compe-
tition was confined to two classes of
exhibitors, the private gardeners of the
neighborhood and the raisers and intro-
ducers of novelties, the commercial
growers of cut flowers, of whom there
are scores in the neighborhood, were
not represented at all. Also, some of
the private gardeners who usually are
heavy entrants did not participate this
year, "Wm. Vert, of Castle Gould, being
one of those whose flowers were greatly
missed. The result was that the show
was not so large as it has been in some
recent years, notably at Indianapolis in
1914, which appears to have marked
the high record of the society's achieve-
ment. Quality, however, never was
better. The awards were:

SECRETARY'S REPORT.

[This Is the report of Secretary Chas. W. John-
son, as presented at the twenty-eighth annual
convention of the CSirysanthemum Society of
America, Philadelphia, November 8, 1916.]

Our society continues to make
progress and, though we do not get the
increased membership we should, the
work of the society along the lines of
improving the standard and populariz-
ing the chrysanthemum is being recog-
nized more each year. Your secretary
notes this particularly by the increased
correspondence that comes to him
throughout the year in comparison with
the first years of his work. The inter-
est in the new varieties continues and
the work of the examining commit-
tees is being greatly appreciated,
and a seedling that has the en-
dorsement of the committees is recog-
nized by the commercial growers
as being worthy of a thorough trial.
The reports of the examining commit-
tees were sent to the trade papers each
week as they were received and a final
summary of the season's work was pub-
lished. The trade press generously
printed these and other notices sent to
them from time to time, for which we
owe to them our vote of* thanks.

A ticket of admission to the National

Flower Show, held in Philadelphia in

• April, 1916, was mailed to all members

in good standing on the secretary's

books.

You will notice a change in the class
for the C. 8. A. silver cup. Our presi-
dent kindly offers a silver cup for a
class similar to the C. S. A. class of
other years, thus making the change
necessary. Class B is arranged accord-
ing to the suggestions of the commit-
tee appointed at the last annual
meeting.

Donors of Special Prizes.

Your secretary appreciates the-i.^kind-
ness of the following firms an3 indi-
viduals in offering the special priaea
at this exhibition:

Wm. K. Harris, Philadelphia.

Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia.

Hosea Waterer, Philadelphia.

Robert Craig, Philadelphia.

Henry F. Michell, Philadelphia.

Hltchings & Co., New York.

Iiord & Burnham Co.. New York.

National Association of Gardeners.

Owing to the intense heat during the
summer, the growing season this year
was a hard one on the plants and Mr.
Totty reports that the growers in the
eastern states are having a great deal
of trouble with a disease which se-
riously affects the growth of the plants.
It would be a good thing if any mem-
ber having this or any other trouble
with his plants would gire us the bene-

fit of his experience, so that it may be
included in the annual report.

The routine work of the secretary's
office, consisting of sending out the
statements to the members, recording
the varieties disseminated, getting out
the report of the fourteenth annual
meeting and soliciting the special pre-
miums, was attended to in due season.

The secretary wishes to acknowledge
the kindness of Elmer D. Smith in fur-
nishing him with a complete list of
varieties disseminated in 1915, which
was a great help in getting up the an-
nual report.

SCOPE or THE TERM "PLANT."

In Missouri there is in force a
statute which provides that where
plants are wrongfully cut, destroyed
or carried away, the owner shall be
entitled .to recover treble damages
against the wrongdoer. This law late-
ly was considered by the St. Louis
Court of Appeals, which decided that
the term "plant" must be given a
broad interpretation, broad enough to
include hedges. S.

CARE OF BOXWOOD.

Please let us know how to take care
of boxwood trees and state^hat light
and temperature they need.

G. H. H. & S.— Mich.

If in pots or tubs, store the plants
in a pit or cellar with only a moderate
amount of light. A temperature a few
degrees below freezing at times will not
hurt them. No fire heat should be need-
ed if the storage place is well protected
during severe weather. The plants
should be occasionally watered and
freely ventilated. They should be
stored away by the middle of Novem-
ber and moved outside about May 1.

For boxwoods planted outside a main
essential is to see that the roots, if at
all dry, are well soaked before the
a;round freezes. Sunshine is more harm-
ful than cold in late winter, and for
that reason a covering of evergreen
houghs or burlap is desirable. Let the
covering be elevated over the plants
and sufficiently well fastened to hold up
snows. When burlap is used, do not let
it hang clear to the ground; leave an
ample space for ventilation. This will
prevent the plants from getting over-
heated on sunny days. C. W.

DELPHINIUMS AND ASTERS.

Please give me directions on how to
propagate delphiniums and asters in
'his climate, Tennessee.

O. M. H.— Tenn.

Asters and delphiniums are rather
lifficult to grow in Tennessee. They
hoth delight in a cool, moist climate,
such as the Big Bend state seldom af-
fords. They do better in your vicinity,
Oliattanooga, than in the western part
of the state, however.

Most of the growers plant only the
early asters, growing the plants to a
s;ood size in the houses and then setting
them out in a good, rich soil as soon as
^he danger of frost is past. The plants
require plenty of irrigation most sea-
sons from the time the buds are set, as
the normal rainfall begins to decrease
"7 that time. This season they did
''Veil without irrigation.

Where plenty of water is handy the
late asters may be grown. They should

Chrysanthemum Mrs. C. C. PoIIworth, an Early Bonnaffon.

be well tilled until hot, dry weather
sets in and then mulched two inches
deep with straw or something similar.
They should never be allowed to dry
out. Most growers prefer the green-
house for all but the earliest varieties,
as this is the only way results are
sure. They are grown in the benches
much as carnations are grown.

Delphiniums can be made to succeed
if given good, deep, well enriched soil
and if properly tilled. This means that

the soil must never be allowed to form
a crust. Water the plants freely, and
if a partially shaded location is chosen
the results will be better. The Bella-
donna hybrids do rather better here
than those which have none of its
blood.

Both asters and delphiniums will
grow better on the mountains around
Chattanooga than in the valley, though
they can be grown successfully in the
valley. F. B.~

Marseilles, France. — In 1914 there
were shipped to the United States, from
this port, inmortelles to the value of
$21,448, according to the U. S. consular
invoices. In 1915 the value was $20,-
071.

Hamilton, Bermuda. — In 1914 the
value of the Harrisii lijy bulbs exported
to all the world is stated to have been
■$9,086, while in 1915 the value was only
$5,373, of which $4,163 went to the
United St^^es and $1,210 to other
countries.

Petrograd, Russia. — The official Eus-
sian statistics show that the imports
over the European and Caucasus-Black
Sea frontiers, and from Finland, were,
in 1914: Seeds, plants and bulbs, 4,698,-
000 rubles, which declined in 1915 to
1,134,000 rubles.

Cape Town, South Africa. — In 1914
British South Africa imported garden,
vegetable and field seeds to the value
of $121,307, of which $8,239 came from
the United States, but in 1915 the im-
ports shrunk to $79,923, of which the
United States supplied $5,830.

Amsterdam, Holland.— Notwithstand
ing the lateness of the bulb shipments
this year, in the quarter ending Sep-
tember 80 U. S. consuls certified bulb
invoices aggregating in value $118,341.

London, Eng. — A government investi-
gation has revealed that the cost of
living has advanced forty-five per cent
since war was declared. With reference
to the plan of the horticultural Trades
Association to advance prices a trade
paper says: "It seems to us that there
are only two alternatives. One is to
let things slide and go on in the old
style until increased expenses and de-
creased income drive a large proportion
of the trade into bankruptcy. Then
there will be a great shortage of stock
and prices will rise automatically to a
profitable level, and the few that sur-
vive will gain the advantage. The
other is to combine together at once to
raise prices to a profitable level, and
put down auction dumping and other
evils connected with the trade. If we
stand for the greatest good of the great-
est number, there is not much doubt
aa to which is the course to pursue."

THE AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS

PRIVATE GARDENERS ARE THE LEADING EXHIBITORS

PHILADELPHIA.

A Strong Show.

The annual chrysanthemum show of
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
opened in Horticultural hall on the
evening of our great national election
day, November 7. A view taken a
few hours before the curtain went up
showed the strength of the show in sev-
eral important features. The greatest
of these was the group of orchids ar-
ranged at the top of the main stairway
by William Kleinheinz, president of
the Chrysknthemum Society of Amer-
ica, as a greeting to the fellow mem-
bers. There were at least 300 orchids
in this group, oncidiums, cattleyas and
dendrobiums. There was a fountain in
the center, with mirrors above and be-
low. Ferns were freely used in the
arrangement. This was one of the most
beautiful groups ever staged here.

The ferns, I assume they were
Thomas Long's, were wonderfully fine.
There were six of them, great big fel-
lows, both in size and in name. I have
given all their names before and can
do it again if you wish. Meanwhile,
let me call especial attention to the new
member of the group, Adiantum Farley-
ense, the finest specimen in this city
today. It stands over three feet high,
is well proportioned and perfect.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., occupied the
stage as of yore with a fine group of
foliage plants. It was noticeably
brighter in coloring than in the past,
due to the lavish use of well colored
crotons. Fine kentias formed the back-
ground of an effective arrangement.

The specimen chrysanthemum blooms
were well represented and of high
quality.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. staged a
large collection of gladioli, comprising
half a dozen of their best varieties.
The surprise was that they were out-
door grown.

Henry F. Michell Co. made two good

exhibits. One, in charge of Chas. F.
Goudy, comprised fifty-five vases of
pompons, including Crawford's Yellow,
Western Beauty and somebody's Ca-
price— all new sorts. Philip Freud had
a hyacinth garden arranged with pom-
pons, certain to convince the beholder
that Michell 's bulbs are the best. F.
Hay made a second display for Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., of seeds, bulbs and ac-
cessories nicely staged.

Louis Burk put up two lovely orchid
displays.

The Lord & Burnham Co. made an
up-to-date display of hotbed frames and
sashes.

The King Construction Co. showed
the King Jr. garden frame with plant
adornment. Fred Cowperthwaite was
in charge. ^

The Strafford Flower Farm se»t its
fine pompons and singles.

John Kuhn, of Olney, had good chrys-
anthemum plants, pompons and box-
wood, the latter strangely trimmed like
fowls and other living creatures.

Thomas Meehan & Sons sent a large
collection of hardy chrysanthemums ar-
ranged for display.

Hosea Waterer displayed all sorts of
seedsmen's requisites.

The Philadelphia Goldfish Co. dis-
played twelve cases of choice goldfish.

Franklin Barrett put up a splendid
exhibit of gold and other fancy fish.

The Chrysanthemum Society of
America exhibits were added on the
second day. Phil.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

"I have never seen a better or a
larger show at Tarrytown, " "They
have never before had one to equal it,"
"Bigger and better than ever" — these
are samples of the various ways in
which critical, well informed onlookers
expressed the unanimous opinion of the
eighteenth annual exhibition of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society, held at
Music hall, November 1 to 3. Still an-

other plain expression of approval was
the largeness of the attendance, which
brolce all records on the opening night.
The exhibits were not only good in
themselves, but were artistically staged.

Members of the trade, such of them
as had any connection with the show,
distinguished themselves as prize-givers
rather than as prize-winners, for the
exhibits, as usual, were nearly all from
private estates. The F. R. Pieraon Co.,
however, had a splendid display of
Beauty, Francis Scott Key and Uphelia
roses.

The judges were John Middleton, of
Tarrytown; John Ruthven, of Mount
Kisco, and John F. Johnston, of Glen
Cove.

Twelfth Annual Mum Show.

The twelfth annual chrysanthemum
show of the Nassau County Horticul-
tural Society, which was held at Glen
Cove, November 2 and 3, was one of the
finest exhibitions the society ever held.
The cut -blooms exhibited were of the
largest size and were finely finished,
while the specimen plants and plant
groups showed, an acme of perfection
that reflected great credit on the skill
of the growers. The roses, carnations
and vegetables were of an equally high
quality, and competition in all classes
was keen. The various exhibits were
most artistically arranged under the
able direction of the show manager,
James Gladstone, who was ably assisted
by James Holloway and Harry Good-
band.

There were two groups of plants ex-
hibited— one a group of chrysanthemum
plants, staged by Robert Jones, gar-
dener for Percy Chubb; the other a
group of foliage and flowering plants,
staged by Robert Marshall, gardener
for J. R. Delamar.

The classes for the double chrysan-
themum standard and bush plants were
each won by Robert Mfftrshall, with
•Tames McCarthy, gardener for W. E.
Kimball, second. The single standard
and bush plant classes were won by
•Tames McCarthy, with Henry Gaut,
gardener for Herbert S. Pratt, second.

Those Who Won.

The principal exhibitors and winners
in the other mum classes and in the
vegetable classes were: Robert Jones,
gardener for Percy Chubb; Robert Mar-
shall, garaener for J. R. Delamar;
George Ferguson, gardener for Payne
Whitney; James McCarthy, gardener
for W. E. Kimball; Joseph Robinson,
gardener for W. R. Coe; Thomas Flynn,
gardener for J. H. Ottley; Henry Gaut,
gardener for Herbert Pratt; Harry
Goodband, gardener for S. D. Brewster;
John Everitt, gardener for John J.
Pratt; William Noonan, gardener for C.
F. Cartiledge.

The prize for the largest bloom in

^ith a massive bloom of William
Turner. The classes for single and
hardy chrysanthemums were well con-
tested and many exceptionally fine va-
rieties of each were exhibited. There
were eleven entries in the class for the
best table decoration and the ladies
who judged this class had a difficult
task to select the winner, as all were
well executed. They finally decided on
that of George Ford, who is assistant
gardener for John T. Pratt, with George
Ferguson second and William Noonan
third. The judges of the exhibition
were Walter Angus, E'wen McKenzie

BOSTON.

The FaU Exhibition.

Boston no longer boasts of a chrys-
anthemum show. The decline locally in
tlie popularity of both specimen plants
and big blooms was emphasized more
strongly than ever this season and the
title of fall exhibition given the show
was much more fitting. For many years
Boston's specimen mums, both cut and
in pots, were the finest in the country.
Many may wonder why they are not
still produced and exhibited, and to
those who may be unaware of our local
conditions I would say that the taste
for big blooms commercially has passed
and owners of our many private estates
have grown tired of specimen plants as
well as big blooms, preferring plants of
more moderate size and strongly favor-
ing undisbudded plants and especially
the single, pompon and anemone sec-
tions. A reaction to the big blooms
may come, but there are as yet no in-
dications of it.

The Groups.

The groups of chrysanthemums and
miscellaneous flowering plants were
good, although somewhat flat and over-
crowded. A. M. Davenport won on 300
square feet of foliage and flowering
plants. He used a large variety of
plants, including some well-flowered
Mrs. Heal begonias; the W. W. Edgar
Co. was second. In the private gar-
deners' class William Thatcher, gar-
dener to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, won. He
used Lilium speciosum quite freely.
A. M. Davenport also won in the class
for a 200-foot group of chrysanthe-
nmnis; William Thatcher, second. Kame-
yania & Serada had a nice group in this
class. William H. Elliott won out for
a group of commercial chrysanthemums
arranged with foliage plants, having a
lot of nice, stocky plants; Kameyama &
i^erada, second.

i^pocimen plant^ were fewer than
usual and needed a few more days to
fxpand their flowers. William Watson,
gardener to J. S. Bailey, had the best
six specimens. For white specimen
plants, A. E. Griffin, gardener to G. L.
'Stone, led with Garza, a grand speci-
men, much the best in the exhibition.
W. C. Rust, gardener to Mrs. C. G.
Weld, was second with the same va-
licty. A. E. Davios, gardener to W. H.
Wellington, took first and second for
siiecimen bronze.

Begonias a Feature.

For the specimen orchid John L.
^mith, gardener to A. W. Preston, took
njst with Cattleya Moira; William Mar-
"". gardener to N. T. Kidder, second
^'ith Cypripedium Spicerianum.

Begonias were largely shown and of
grand quality, far surpassing the chrys-
anthemums in attractiveness. For six
specimens of Gloire de Lorraine, E. H,
Wetterlow, gardener to Mrs. Lester
Leland, took first with immense speci-
mens finely flowered; A. E. Griffin, sec-
ond. For six plants any other winter-
blooming begonia, William Downs, gar-
dener to E. S. Webster, won with mag-
nificent plants of Optima, one of the
features of the show.

For a pair of kentias first prize went
to William Thatcher. For twenty-five
blooms of chrysanthemums, A. E.
Griffin won with large, well finished
blooms of Miss C. Banghart, Wm.
I^igby, Pockett's Surprise, Miss J.
Gibson, William Turner, M. L. Rous-

House; Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. Y., were sec-
ond.

A. R. Cbsh, gardener to Mrs. A. E. Slas, had
the best vase of twenty-five specimen blooms
mixed.

Caplan was the only retailer competing in the
class for the best display showing the various
ways flowers may be used for home decoration.

The W. W. Edgar Co. took both first and sec-
ond prize for the most artistic large china vase
of specimen blooms arranged for effect, oak
leaves being used to good effect.

Ten specimen blooms, white, on long stems^
James Niqol, first, with grand William Turner;
A. M. McGuffey, gardener to W. E. Tralser,
second, wltli the same variety.

Ten pink — Eric H. Wetterlow, first; A. Mc-
Guffey, second. Each showed Dr. Enguchard.

Ten yellow — Eric H. Wetterlow, first, with
Mrs. William Duckham; A. M. McGuffey, sec-
ond, with Bonnnffon.

Ten red — Eric H. Wetterlow, first, with splen-
did Pockett's Crimson.

Special Awards.

Silver medals were awarded to John
L. Smith for Cattleya Lady Rothschild
alba, to E. H. Wetterlow for Begonia
Mrs. Peterson, to William Downs for
his grand specimens of Begonia Optima
and to W. C. Rust for a splendid table
of the English winter-flowering be

The display of fruits and vegetables
was the finest and most extensiye ever
seen at a Boston fall show and this de-
partment seemed to appeal to visitors
fully as much as the flowers. The T. J.

class for the best collection of vege-
tables, staging over 200 varieties of
splendid quality. This collection well,
merited the gratuity of $100 awarded.
For fifteen varieties of vegetables, dis-
tinct, Edwin Jenkins, Lenox, Mass.,
won first prize of $75. The second
prize, $50, went to Edward Parker, gar-
dener to Oliver Ames. For eight va-
rietie"s, E. L. Lewis was first and J. O.
Christensen, gardener to W. J. Clemson,
second.

plainly shown by a decidedly dimin-

tailers' displays on this occasion had,
no doubt, something to do with this
falling off, and pre-election excitement
also did its part. W. N. Craig.

SEWICKLEY, PA.

An Initial Attempt. >

The first chrysanthemum show of the
Sewickley Horticultural Society, held
in the Public School Pavilion, Novem-
ber 2 to 4, was of so excellent a char-
acter as to reflect great credit on the
society. The blooms shown would have
compared favorably with the best ex-
hibits at any of the larger, more pre-
tentious shows. The affair aroused
great interest and was the subject of
much favorable comment, both in the
trade and among the general public.

The contests in most of the classes
were open to private gardeners only.
There was one section, however, for
commercial growers of chrysanthemums,
roses and carnations. In this section
the McCallum Co., of Pittsburgh, won
flrst for fifty blooms of any yellow
chrysanthemum and first for fifty
blooms of any white carnation.

Among the other prize-wipners were
the following:

M. Curran, gardener for Mrs. E. M.
Home; J. Murphy, gardener for H. L.
Mason; A. A. Leech, gardenei for H. J.
Heinz; Carl Bftclterer, gardener for Dix;-
mont Hospital;" Wm. Thompson, Jri,
gardener for Mrs. W. P. Snyder; E.
Guter, gardener for R. B. Mellon;
Thomas Sturgiss, gardener for Mrs. A.
Laughlin, Jr.; R. Taylor, gardener for
R. H. Boggs; John Jones, gardener for
Mrs. William Thaw, Jr.; Herman Eapp,
gardener for the Watson estate; gar-
dener for H. C. Friek; T. E. Tyler,
gardener for Charles H. Armstrong;
William Thompson, Sr., gardener for
the Craig estate; gardener for Mrs.

dener for J. G. Byers; the gardeners
for Mrs. J. F. Byers, the Pittsburgh
Country Club and Mrs. E. A. Woods.

-V*^^.

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., o£
Pittsburgh, had a display of chrysan-
themums, pompons and roses, which
were not in competition.

Chai. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.,
also sent a fine exhibit of pompon chrys-
anthemums.

Pittsburgh has not had a show for
some years, but the gardeners who
grew these flowers are all members of
the littsburgh Florists' Club. Their
unassisted efforts at this time are an
indication of what the club should have
been ioing and a demonstration of the
fact that growers are still interested in
displaying their skill in producing flne
flowe] s and vegetables.

M. Curran grew the largest chrysan
them*m bloom in the show, and also
the tallest plant, ten feet six inches.
David Fraser grew the largest mush-
room, Thomas Sturgiss grew fine me
dium sized mushrooms.

Tho judges were J. Wiseman, A.
Davipson and Fred Burki.

A Notable Success.

The sixth annual autumn exhibition
of tie Westchester and Fairfield Horti
cultural Society was held in Drink
water's hall, Greenwich, Conn., Octo-
ber 31 and November 1. The quality
throughout the exhibition was of
marked superiority. The schedule con
sisted of 121 classes and the competi-
tion! was keen. The attendance was
good. A financial and social success
was scored. Noteworthy features were
the numerous trade displays, the scar-
city of hig blooms ;iii(l the increasing
popularity of the more decorative types
of single and pompon mums. The un
usual display of outdoor flowers also
was! noticeable. Over fifty varieties
were noted in the five groups in this
class. The increasing interest of the
amateurs who do not employ paid as-
sistance is gratifying to note. There is
a marked tendency toward better deco
rative effects, as was evidenced by the
numerous groups of plants and cut flow
ers. Decorated dinner tables, baskets
of flowers and Centerpieces also were
noteworthy features.

J. B. McArdle, manager of the ex
hibition, was ably assisted by Thomas
Ryan, to whom the society is indebted
for the staging of an effective and
pleasing exhibition. The judges were
George Middleton, Tarrytown, N. Y. ;
James Blair, Staatsburg, N. -Y.; Wil-
liam Turner, Oceanic, N. J., and Ernest
Wild, Morristown, N. J. Their fair and
impartial decisions were received with
universal satisfaction.

Among the novelties noted was a dis
play of seedling mums of the anemone
flowered type, exhibited by Scott Bros.,
of Elmsford. A vase of the new yel-
low rose, Mme. CoUette Martinet, at
tracted a great deal of attention. The
exhibitor of this rose, A. N. Pierson.
Inc., was highly commended and the
committee requested a further display
at some future meeting. The rose is of
elegant form and of rare fragrance and
is said to be a good, clean grower and
producer. J. B. McArdle exhibited a
vase of the new double-flowering cos
mos. The neat flowers should provp
valuable to the florist as well as a good
subject for the garden.

Certificates of merit were awarded to
the George E. Baldwin ^o., Mamaro-
neck, N. Y., and Lager & Hurrell, Sum-

Planting Outdoor Bulbs.

Now is the time to plant out all
kinds of hardy Dutch bulbs. The ear-
lier these are in the ground now, the
better. Prepare the soil well and be
sure not to use any manure which has
not been well rotted. Fresh manure is
pretty sure to cause trouble, so leave
it severely alone. This applies to all
bulbs, including not only tulips, nar-
cissi, hyacinths, crocuses, scillas, etc.,
but also lilies to be planted later, and
various bulbs planted in spring, such
as gladioli, montbretias and galtonias.
Cover hyacinths and large-bulbed nar-
cissi to a depth of five to six inches,
tulips and smaller-bulbed narcissi four
to five inches, and crocuses, snowdrops,
scillas, chionodoxas and fritillarias three
inches. Spanish and English irises may
be covered three to four inches and
these do best if planted quite late, just
before the ground freezes.

Be sure not to mulch or protect your
beds in any way until the ground is
well frozen. The mulch should keep
the soil frozen rather than open; then
the growth is checked and rodents can-
not tunnel through the soil and destroy
the bulbs, as they frequently do while
the soil is open.

Tulips for Bedding.

There is a wide variety of tulips
^'^'ailable for bedding. A few of the
best in their respective colors are Joost
van Vondel, White Pottebakker and
^^ hite Swan, pure white; Chrysolora,
*^phir d'Or and Mon Tresor, golden yel-
low; Prince of Austria and Thomas
Ntoore, orange; Keizerskroon, red and
><;l!ow; Cottage Maid, Rose Luisante,
J^iii'i: Beauty and Queen of the Nether-
':ui.]s, pink or rose; Proserpine and Le
^e*. >^ carmine rose; Scarlet Potte-
i.ikl^er, Vermilion Brilliant and Sir
|bciiaas Lipton, scarlet; Couleur Car-
'luiiil, crimson; striped Joost van

•^^'•'lel, rose and white.

^^"ilg of only one variety look better
]'■■'■■ when the same beds are divided
'"io blocks or quarters of several varieties.

The following are the finest of the bed-
ding tulips: White Joost van Vondel,
Pink Beauty, Chrysolora, Keizerskroon,
Proserpine, Sir Thomas Lipton, Prince
of Austria and Couleur Cardinal. In
planting several colors in a bed, care
should be taken to select those of as
near the same height as possible. Cata-
logues usually give the heights of
tulips and are in this way a consider-
able help to those not well informed on
bulbs.

Cottage and Darwin Tulips.

Do not overlook the late-flowering
cottage and Darwin tulips. These are
glorious in beds and clumps and far
superior to the early tulips for cutting,
their stems being much longer and
stronger. Some specially good and in-
expensive cottage varieties to plant
are: Picotee, Bouton d'Or, Gesneriana
lutea, Gesneriana spathulata, Golden
Crown, Inglescombe Pink, retroflexa,
elegans and May Blossom.

Of the magnificent Darwins, all are
grand for cutting. The following are
especially good: Clara Butt and Mm^
Krelage, rose or salmon; Gretchen, pale
pink; White Queen, nearly pure white;
Dream, Rev. H. Ewbank and Mrs. Pot-
ter Palmer, lavender or purple; Glow,
Pride of Haarlem and Minister Tak,
red or scarlet; King Harold, deep blood
red; The Sultan,, maroon. In some of
the more norther^ states the Darwin
tulips bloom just right for Memorial
day, ivhen they always bring fancy
prices. One good thing about them is
that if the stems are not cut down too
close to the ground the bulbs will flower
fully as well or better the second and
third seasons, if left undisturbed.

Narcissi.

Narcissi are not much used for bed-
ding, but are specially good in clumps
or bands along borders, also for natu-
ralizing in grass land. It is in grass
that they are seen at their best. Not
all varieties, however, succeed well
when naturalized. Some of the most
satisfactory are: Emperor, princeps,

Barrii eonspicuus, Leedsii Mrs. Lang
try, Leedsii Duchess of Brabant, Sir
Watkin, Stella, poeticus, poeticus orna-
tus, Burbidgei and Campernellii rugu-
losus. It is well to state that the short-
trumpet varieties are generally handier
and more satisfactory than the large-
trumpet sorts, better in borders and
when naturalized in grass. Such varie-
ties as Golden Spur, Horsfieldii, Glory
of Leiden, Trumpet major, Victoria and
Silver Spur soon run out.

Hyaclntlis.

Hyacinths are splendid for bedding.
They never should be planted in mix-
tures. It is also much better to buy
named varieties than to purchase mix-
tures of pink, white or blue, which will
give considerable variations in color, to
say nothing of the differences in types
of spikes. Bulbs should be covered to
a depth of five to six inches. A few
inexpensive bedding varieties are: La
Grandesse, Grandeur a Merveille and
L 'Innocence, white; Gertrude and Pink
Perfection, pink; gigantea and Cardinal
Wiseman, rose; Queen of the Blues and
Czar Peter, light blue; King of the
Blues and Marie, dark blue; Yellow
Hammer, golden yellow.

Spanish Iris.

For cutting, plant out a liberal lot of
the Spanish iris. They are perfectly
hardy in any well drained land and are
so inexpensive that no one should be
debarred on this account from plant-
ing them. Few bulbous flowers are bet-
ter for cutting and where they are not
cut down too near the ground they
will come up, if left undisturbed, for
at least six or eight years. A few good
sorts to plant are Louis, Cajanus,
Cornflower, Midley and British Queen.
If you want something to immediately
follow the Spanish iris, plant some of
the English iris. The flowers are larger
than those of the Spanish iris and pos
sess greater substance. Mont Blanc
white, and Grand Vainqueur, pale blue,
are excellent varieties to plant.

COAL HIGH AND HARD TO GET.

Many Florists Are Hit.

The most tremendous rise in the price
of steam coal the trade ever faced has
caught many florists unprepared for
winter — prices not only hav« skyrock-
eted, but fuel is diflScult to get, for of
free coal the principal markets are prac-
tically bare.

Florists who did not heed the warn-
ings given in The Review, which since
midsummer has been putting emphasis
on the necessity for preparedness, now
find themselves in a predicament — coal
that could be had at $1.35 to $1.50 per
ton at the mine in August actually has
brought in exceptional cases as much
as $6 per ton during the first week in
November. To a florist such quotations
are unthinkable; he can not believe
them to be true, but the trouble lies in
the fact that the mines are producing
little more coal than is needed to fill
contracts and the man, be he florist or
manufacturer, whose regular source of
supply does not take care of them must
go among strangers and bid high.

Growers Partly Covered.

Most of the large growers are at
least partly protected by contracts made
in the spring and in most cases have
taken delivery of considerable quanti-
ties during "the summer. These now
encounter considerable difficulty in ob-
taining scheduled deliveries on their
contracts, but are protected as to price
to the extent of the contracts if they
can get delivery. The seriousness of
the situation for them, however, lies in
the fact that during the last two or
three years of Aveak coal markets the
custom has grown up among large grow-
ers of contracting only a part, say half,
their season's needs, relying on the
open market for the other' half. In re-
cent years there have been frequent op-
portunities to pick up at less than con-
tract price cars on which the consignee
wished to avoid demurrage. But this
season the grower who must buy on the
open market even a small part of his
requirements will hand back to the coal
trade all the savings he ever has been
able to make picking up bargains.

It is of record that the cheapest
greenhouse heating under normal condi-
tions costs 8 cents per thousand square
feet of glass per day, and from that up
to 30 cents per thousand feet per day.
Also, the largest grower has been quot-
ed as saying his place use§ 135,000 tons
of steam coal per year. There are many
growers who under normal conditions
use $10,000 worth of coal a season and
quite a few who use from $25,000 to
$50,000 worth.

Small Florists Are CaugM.

^at it is the small man, who buys
by the wagon-load rather than by the
carload, who is pinched by the present
situation. He, as a rule, has no con-
tract on which he can demand delivery
at a stated price; he must pay the mar-
ket rate. Thereiare thousands of flo-
rists who find their coal bills jumping

day by day, 50, 100, 200 per cent or
more, depending on the strength of the
source of supply and previous business
relations. There is nothing to do but
pay the price. Dealers will not quote
prices on soft coal because there is no
supply. The price is changing over
night.

It is reported that the railroads are
confiscating commercial coal for their
own use all over the country, paying
the market price to the owners for
whom it is being transported.

The Reasons for It.

"This sudden shortage in the supply
of steam coal," said George H. Gush-
ing, editor of the Black Diamond, "is
a matter I have been investigating and
1 find several causes. The railroads
have required more coal on account of
increased /traffic; the cotton mills of
the southV which were using water
power, have had a dry spell since the
severe fload of last summer and are
now using^coal; the munitions plants
have required millions of tons; extra
coal has beeV-cklled for by the steel
plants supplying steel for shipbuilding,
which has been extremely active re-
cently; there has been a large increase
on account of the double shifts at mills
now running day and night owing to
the business bt)om, and it is estimated
that Ganada has taken three million
tons extra this fall owing to better con-
ditions there in part and because of
the demands of munition plants in the
Dominion.

' ' All this demand has come in the
eastern district, east of Harrisburg and
Buffalo practically. I estimate the
amounts as follows:

Tons.

Gotten mills 4,000,000

Exports 4,500,000

Eastern railroads 20,000,000

Munitions plants 15,000,000

Increase in Ganada 3,000,000

Increase owing to ship-build-
ing demands 1,500,000

Increase owinfc to increased
business of lactories (dou-
ble shifts) 20,000,000

Total 68,000,000

"When people reflect that there was
no shortage of coal apparent up to Sep-
tember 15 it is easy to understand why
there is congestion now, when a de-
mand for 68,000,000 tons comes on the
coal companies and the railroads in ad-
dition to normal supplies.

Car and Labor Shortage.

"The car shortage is due to several
causes. There are complaints from rail-
road men and shippers that speculators
in coal, in grain, in food supplies and
in war munitions are tying up cars al-
most indefinitely while they use the cars
to sell and resell the contents, always
at an increase in price. This specula-
tion in the necessities is advancing
the price of coal while slowing down
its delivery. The railroads make par-
ticular complaint that in some instances
the reconsignment of a car takes from
six to seven days and involves numer-
ous transfers of ownership during the
delay.

' ' The bituminous coal production in
1915 was, in round numbers, 442,000,000
tons. The miners worked only 203
days. If the same rate of production
had been continued for 300 days the
mines would have turned out 654,000,-
000 tons. This indifference of labor,
the scarcity of miners since the Euro-
pean war began and the present car
shortage, together with the enormous
increase in the demand for coal coming
within a short period of time, explains
the situation, in my opinion."

UNCLE SAM OFFERS HELP.

Investigation of British Censorship.

In view of the number of letters that
came to The Review in August, with re-
gard to the non-arrival of seeds from
Germany, particularly cyclamen seeds
ordered of Ferd Fischer, of Wiesbaden,
it was apparent that considerable sums
of money had been dispatched to Ger-
many by readers of The Review and
never heard of afterward. The appear-
ances were, either that the men to whom
the remittances had been sent were pre-
vented by the British 'blockade from
filling the orders, or that the British
censor had intercepted the orders and
remittances. All doubt in the matter
was removed by arrival of a post-card
from Fischer, of Wiesbaden. It read:

Plense do no^ puHlsh again my advprtlsompnt
of cyclamon seeds becauRe orders, checks and The
Review also do not arrive more since months
now.

The card was dated at Wiesbaden
.June 30 and did not reach Ghicago until

September 12. The fact that it carried
the O. K. of the British censor showed
where it had been in the meantime and
where the "orders, checks and The Re-
view" had gone — the censor had held
them up.

An Important Sum Involved.

It was apparent that, while none of
the sums was large, the lost remittances
were sufficiently numerous so that in the
aggregate the loss is important. In the
case of the cyclamen seeds, Ferd
Fischer, a German specialist of wide re-
pute, has advertised in The Review for
several years and has built up a large
mail-order business in this country — a
surprisingly large business as revealed
by the inquiries as to the probabilities
of receiving the seeds. It is evident
that hundreds of orders were sent to
Fischer which he, according to the evi-
dence of his postal, never received. A
few were for small sums, $3 or $5, but
many were $30, $50 or even more.
Nearly all had sent cash with order.

as had been satisfactorily done in other
years. In the aggregate it meant many
hundreds of dollars.

And Fischer's customers were only a
few of the total number interested, as
the conditions must be the same with
other German houses having customers
here.

Most of the remittances were in the
form of bank paper or postoffice money
orders.

The Review Starts Investigation.

No doubt in the course of time it will
be possible for those who purchased
funds payable in Germany to secure the
repayment of sums the paper represent-
ing which has been destroyed, but to
expedite the matter The Review made
inquiry of the U. S. Department of
State to ascertain what disposition the
British government is making of Amer-
ican mails for Germany taken off the
Dutch and Danish steamers, more par-
ticularly as to what the British do with
enclosures representing money. It was
explained that this trade is interested
in a large number of comparatively
small sums which have been detained
and j)erliaps destroyed. Few, if any,
are of sulKcient size to justify legal ex-
pense for their recoA'ery.

State Department Will Help.

The government of the United States
stands ready to assist any who will sup-
ply sufficiently complete and accurate
(lata to make it possible to trace in-
dividual remittances. In a letter to

taken by the British.

How to Proceed.

Each reader who would like to have
his loss investigated by the government
should write the Department of State
enclosing a copy of the order sent to
(Jermany, with full information as to
the character of the remittance, includ-
ing date and number of the draft or
money order as well as the amount.
Also, it will be well to ask the post-
master how a letter posted on a given
date was forwarded; the postoffice rec-
ords will in most cases make it possible
to determine on what steamer the letter
traveled.

PACKING HOUSE TANKAGE.

Please advise me as to the fertiliz-
ing value of packing house tankage.
How much of it should be used for

Packing^Jbiouse tankage varies wide-
ly in composuion, the nitrogen A'arying
from four to ^x per cent and the i)hos-
phoric acid from nine to seventeen per
cent, a high percentage of one usually
being associated with a low percent-
age of the other.

The availability of the fertilizing
elements varies with the materials from
which the fertilizer has been prepared.
The nitrogen is usually considerably
slower in becoming available than that
of dried blood, while the phos])horic
acid is about as available as that in
bone of the same degree of fineness.

The quantity to be applied depends
upon the condition and character of
the soil, but two pounds per hundred
square feet of bench space, five inches
deep — four pounds per hundred cubic
f«et of soil — should make a satisfactory
application. Top-dressings of the ferti-
lizer during vigorous plant growth may
be added, if the plants show need of
nitrogenous fertilizer.

One-half to three tons per acre, or
one pound per four square yards, i;.
considered satisfactory as an applica-
tion to lawns and for shrubs and trees,
with one-half pound per square yard
worked into the soil about shrubs and
trees. I am unable to advise quanti-
ties for field crops. F. W. M.

Will you please tell me whether or
not giant pyramid candytuft should
be pinched back after the first buds ap-

should they be disbudded in order to

It is not advisable to pinch back
candytuft, but where fancy spikes are
desired it is a good policy to do some
disbudding. C. W.

The Rorists' Review

WINTEEING MUMS IN FBAMES.

In The Review last fall I read some-
thing about carrying chrysanthemum
stock plants over winter in a coldframe.
I am short of room and thought it
would be well to find out a little more
about this. Let us suppose that mum
stock plants are put out in a frame
after Thanksgiving; about two weeks
later they are covered with plenty of
leaves and straw to keep them from
freezing. They would have to be cov-
ered till March 1; then some of the
leaves could be taken from them, but
all this time they would not get any
light. Would they produce good cut-
tings in Aprin

I have been led to believe that mum
stock plants might, perhaps, be carried
over winter in frames in just tiie same
way as bulbs for Easter. Would it be
advisable to cover them as I have de-
scribed, and keep light from them until
early spring? E. H. M.— la.

I would not like to guarantee that
E, H. M. 's plants will be in good shape
in the spring if they do not have any
light at all. They will carry along a
little while without light, but if kept
dark without getting actually frozen,
they will send out little white shoots
like celery or rhubarb, which would bo
useless.

I would suggest that E. H. M. use
sashes, if possible, and put straw around
the sides and top sash. Then, when the
weather is mild, the straw can be taken
from the top and a little air admitted,
particularly when the days are getting
longer and there is increasing sunlight
and warmer weattier. Chrysanthemums
can be handled during the winter in
roldframcs without much trouble, but
some little degree of light must be al-
lowed them. Chas. H. Totty.

CHRYSANTHEMUM LEAF-MINERS.

I am enclosing three leaves from
pompon mums. The plants are infested
with small white insects, which bore
between the tissues of the leaves. The
insects are from one-sixteenth to one-
eighth of an inch long and are pure
white. Kindly tell nic their name and
origin and the best way to destroy
them. II. V. T.— Pa.

These evidently are small leaf-miners
similar to those which attack margue-
rites. They can be successfully con-
trolled by spraying with Black Leaf 40
or any good nicotine solution. Spray
in the late afternoon and try to avoid
wetting the flowers, if possible.

OUTDOOR ROSES IN SOUTH.

I intend to plant outdoors about 1,000
rose plants, for next season's blooming.
Please advise me if it would be better
to use dormant field-grown plants this
fall than plants from pots in the spring.
I want a good cut during the entire
season. Also please name the best pink
and white varieties for this climate.

J. W. B.— Miss.

I would advise J. W. B. to plant
dormant field-grown rose plants. These
will give immediate returns in the
spring and more than pay for the dif-
ference in price from young stock. If
you intend to use young stock, I would
advise you to plant it at once. In your
prairie soil roses will grow luxuriantly.
It would be well, however, to set the
plants in beds, so that you can reach
them with the hose in dry weather.
The Cochets, pink and white, are easily

HARDWOOD ROSE CUTTINGS.

Can hybrid teas and perpetual roses
be successfully grown from hardwood
cuttings taken from outdoor plants dur-
ing October and November, which are
kept in a cellar until calloused, and
then put on a greenhouse bench with
bottom heat? If so, how should they
be handled in order to have them well
rooted by March 10? Of what size
should " a house be for rooting about
40,000 or 50,000 cuttings at one time,
and how much piping would it require?
Any information you can give me will
be appreciated, C. F. B. — Wash.

A good proportion of the hardwood
cuttings will root if treated as you sug-
gest. Tie the cuttings in small bundles
and pack them in moist sand or sandy
soil in the cellar. A narrow propa-
gating house with two side benches
would be the most economical and
practical. Such a house need not be

over ten feet wide. The sides should
be boxed in tightly and sufficient pip-
ing should be made to hold an even
temperature of 65 degrees in the sand.
The top heat can be 15 degrees lower.

I would use four rows of 2-inch steam
pipes on either side, or a flow and two
returns of 4-ineh hot water pipes. This
would give you ample heat. Do not
try to run a high temperature over-
head; 45 degrees will be much better
than 55 degrees.

Put the cuttings in the benches on
or about January 15. They will not
root so quickly as those of half -ripened
wood, and any attempt to rush them
will result disastrously. I presume you
would want to pot them singly as soon
as they are rooted, or perhaps, if your
climate is sufficiently mild, you could
run them out in nursery rows. The

safest plan, however, would be to pot
them off singly. A house seventy-five
feet long, with propagating benches
three feet wide on each side, should
give you ample space for the number
mentioned. C. W.

BOSE OUTTHraS OUTDOOES.

If hardwood rose cuttings are taken,
put in sand and covered with soil, do
you think they will root by springi I
have no coldframe or greenhouse and I
want hardwood cuttings for spring.
A. K. K.— Mont.

Can't you put your hardwood rose
cuttings in sandy soil on the floor of a
cold cellar! Be sure the earth is moist.
A little freezing will do no harm. If
you will do this a good many will be

well calloused by spring, when they
can go out in nursery rows, be watered
and well tamped, and a good proportion
will grow. This would be much better
than keeping them outdoors. C. W.

WHERE DIPLOMACY WON'T DO.

We would be pleased to have you
give us some advice on roses, how to
exterminate red spider. Is there any in-
secticide we can use in the form of a
spray or fume? So far we have used
only clear water, but we do not seem
to be able to clean the house.

T. W. C— Minn.

The only way to get the upper hand
of the red spider is to syringe with
cold water. The less water and thi
more force is used the better it will be.

TESTING CANNAS IN TENNESSEE.

I This is the first of four articles that describe
Mio results of canna tests on trial grounds near
X.ishville, Tenn. The other three articles wIH
.'ippear in early issues of The Reriew.]

Again this year we carried on our
experiments with cannas, adding about
fifty of the newer candidates for popu-
lar favor, as well as several unnamed
seedlings kindly furnished by some of
tlie best growers in the country. The
{)uipose of our tests was to determine
what were the best cannas for use in
this latitude, so that when we offered
'111- customers the best there was to be
lia'l in any color we could know that
wo were really doing what we claimed.
We were especially anxious to know
whether our own seedlings were better
til a 11 something already produced, and
'^o worthy of introduction.

We carried on our experiments in
two separate blocks, each of which con-
tained all of the varieties we had. In

L,'oud field soil, without fertilizer of any

Some of the Best Wliite Sorts.

Last season we were not satisfied with
our test of white cannas, as there were
several candidates for favor that we
did not grow, or we grew them in too
small quantities to arrive at true con-
clusions. After this season's tests wo
are convinced that while we do not yet
have a white canna that is really satis-
factory, it is coming in the near future.
In fact, we are about as near there as
we are to a really good, true yellow.

Blanche Wintzer is the only truly
white canna to date, so far as we have
seen. It is as white as a calla; at least,
it is so in our hot summer sun, by the
time it has been in bloom two or three
hours. The flowers are almost as large
as those of an orchid-flowered variety,
and the heads are large. But this is as
far as we can go in our praise. It is
too dwarf, and too weak a grower to be
of great merit as a bedder. Its greatest
value is as a mother of something
better.

Eureka is well named. It is as strong
a grower as any canna needs to be, and
is as free a bloomer as any of the reds.
Of course it is not white. However, it
is white before the flower falls and is
no more than a deep cream at any time.
It does not do its best without plenty
of water and good soil. It is bound to
be one of the cannas of the future.

A Specially Vigorous White.

Flag of Truce is the only other good
white canna. iLike Eureka, it is not
perfectly white, but comes as near
being so as does that variety. It is
faintly dotted with crimson-pink. At
compared with Eureka, it grows slightly

taller, and the individual flower is
larger in that it has decidedly broader
petals. Its heads are larger and cacli
shoot normally produces four heads,
while Eureka produces but three. It
produces more plants in a season also,
and in soil that lacks manure and water
is decidedly the better variety. Under
park conditions, where there is plenty
of water and the soil is good, Eureka
has prettier foliage and makes just as
good a show. Both arc tiptop varieties,
as strong growers as can be found, and
as free bloomers.

We do not hesitate to say that thus
far there are no other white varieties
on the market that are as worthy of
growing as the three we have men-
tioned. Of course, Mt. Blanc will be
sold next season in greater quantities
than either of the foregoing, but only
because it is cheap, while neither of
the others is cheap at present or will
be for at least two more years.

The Variegated. Cannas.

Under the head of variegated cannas
we group those that are distinct enough
in coloring to show two distinct colors
at a distance, say 100 or more feet.

Queen Charlotte, though an old va-
riety, is still hard to beat. It is so gen-
erally known that it needs no descrip-
tion. As a border plant or for massing
in front of shrubbery it has not been
excelled to date.

A second season with Gaiety has con-
vinced us that it is properly named.
The plant is fully five feet tall and a
rapid multiplier, every shoot producing
three large heads of flowers. The color
is a mingling of orange, scarlet and

OiEN LETm^-A- PEADEUd

KUNDERD DEFENDS THE IRIS.

I always read The Review with both
interest and profit, but the comment on
C. S. Harrison 's article on the iris as
the national flower, bv .John J. Hitz
and my good friend B. C. Auten, in a
recftit issue, were of special interest to
me. While I am a great admirer of
the goldenrod, 1 must diflfer with Mr.
Auten on his severe criticism of the
iris. Last spring I had the- pleasure of
seeing Bortrand' II. Farr's wonderful
collection of iris in bloom at Wyomis-
sing. Pa., and I believe if Mr, Auten
had been with me he would have been
as enthusiastic over the marvelous
beauty of the newer iris as I am. Both
Mr. Auten and myself are great lovers
of the gladiolus, but if there is any
other one flower 1 should select it would
probably be the iris. Last season 1
had a choice collection of Mr. Fryer's
new iris .seedlings in bloom. 1 cer-
tainly believe in the newer iris, as well
as in the better standard kinds, and
believe if the general public could see
them in bloom their variety and beauty
would take the country by storm and
there would not be stock enough in
existence to half supply the enormous
demand.

While writing my "oi)inion" it
might be helpful to some of your read-
ers to relate my method of handling the
cut blooms of the iris. As is well
t known, this flower when in bloom is
fragile and is therefore suscejttible to
damage from breakage in transporta-
tion and handling. I have found a
jjfood way to get the best results from
the iris as a cut flower, especially
where it is to be packed for shijtment.
It is to cut the spikes with the
best unopened buds and not the spikes
which show the finest blooms at the
time of cutting. When wanted for the
day following the cutting of spikes, I
aim to cut with as many large buds as
possible. I certainly believe the iris

wonderful newer varieties become bet-

iris can be found, nor one which is

Five volumes of the total six — so
near to accomplishment is this great
task of book-making. And the comple-
tion of the work will be a notable
event in the horticultural world. The
achievement will be a landmark in
horticultural progress. These assertions
are not extravagant or fanciful, but are

intended only as a moderate, matter-of-
fact statement of the high rank and
great value of the Standard Cyclopedia
of Horticulture. It is in reality, as well
as in name, the standard, supreme hor-
ticultural authority in America.

As intimated previously by this re-
viewer, the value of the books to the
.florist depends chiefly on the use that
the florist makes of them. The inher-
ent helpfulness of the books themselves
is almost unbounded. The limitations
are principally in the user of the cyclo-
pedia, rather than in the cyclopedia it-
self. Some craftsmen have more facil-
ity than others in deriving knowledge
from the printed page. Some continu-
ally absorb practical information from
all possible sources, including books
and trade papers. They collect facts
wherever obtainable, and afterward
coin or transmute the facts into solid
money. Others, however," learn almost
entirely from personal experience, and
perhaps pay enough for the experience
to purchase many copies of Bailey 's
cyclopedia.

With five of the six volumes now
available, the cyclopedia already is
more nearly complete than are many
other books that make great preten-
sions of covering their subject thor-
oughly. In how many works of refer-
ence, aside from an ordinary un-
abridged dictionary, can you find more
than five-sixths of the items for which
you look?

MORE AZALEAS.

A steamer from Rotterdam last week
discharged the following consignments
of plants, shrubs and trees, most of
which undoubtedly are of Belgian
origin, including the much-discussed
azaleas. This shipment, together with
a larger one two weeks previously,
confirms last week's statement of the
foreign trade adviser that the German
authorities have no objection to the
exportation to the United States of Bel-
gian horticultural products, and that a
belief to the contrary on the part of
some is due to a misunderstanding.

OBITUARY

*

WiUiam MaUoy.

William Malloy, one of the most wide-
ly known salesmen in the Boston mar-
ket, died November 7 in the Natick
hospital. The funeral will be held No-
vember 10. Mr. Malloy formerly was
with the Waban Rose Conservatories
and for some years was manager in
Boston for the Budlong Co., of Auburn,
R. I. He was highly esteemed.

W. N. C.
Michael Donovan.

Michael Donovan, a veteran gardener
of Newport, R. I., died November
1 at the home of his brother, John
Donovan, with whom he made his home.
Mr. Donovan, who was more than 70
years of age, was for many years gar-
dener and caretaker at the Winans es-
state, first for the late Thomas Winans
and later for the son, the late Ross
Winans. The deceased is survived by
a large number of nieces and nephews,
besides his brother. , W. H. M.

George Cartwright.

We regret to report the death of
George Cartwright, treasurer of the
Boston Flower ICxchange, Boston, which
occurred at his home, Z'A Dale street,
Roxbury, Mass., November 2, after a
brief illness. The deceased was a na-
tive of the north of England and at
the age of 10 came to America with his
father,, who was a trained gardener.
After settling in Wellesley, the deceased
followed the nursery business for some
years, but later entered the florists'
business at Dedham, where he remained
for more than twenty-five years. He
was, in his day, the most successful
local grower of Niphetos roses. For a
number of years Mr. Cartwright had
devoted his spare energies to selling
flowers on commission for a number of
growers at the Boston Flower Exchange.
On the formation of a wholesale flower
market in Boston, Mr. Cartwright was
elected a director and treasurer, both of
which positions he held until his death.
Had he lived but two or three days
longer he would have been reelected
.treasurer by the board of directors for
his twenty-fifth term. October 28 he
attended the annual meeting and ban-
quet of the Flower Exchange, at
Young's hotel, and read his annual re-
port. At the same meeting he was re-
elected a director. He attended his
stand in the market only two days be-
fore the end.

The deceased was a quiet, genial, con-
scientious, conservative, careful and
much respected man in florists' circles,
and his loss is keenly felt in the mar-
ket, with which he was closely connect-
ed for so long. He was married in
1880 to Miss Anna Seitz, of Roxbury,
who survives him, as well as a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Emma Taggert, of Roxbury;
two sons, Edward S. Cartwright, of
California, and Fi'ed J. Cartwright, now
with the Henshaw Floral Co., of New
York; a sister, Mrs. A. S. Morgan, of
New York; four brothers, one of whom,
.larvis, now is a retired florist, and an-
other, Elijah, is in business at Welles-
ley.

Funeral services were held at the
home of the deceased November 5.

There was a large gathering, including
the directors and numerous other mem
bers of the Flower Exchange. The lat-
ter organization sent a superb floral
tribute, as did many business concerns
and friends. Burial was at Welleslev,
Mass. W. N. C.

Frank Sobicek.

Frank Sobicek, of Sayville, N. Y., an
employee of a Blue Point, N. Y., florist,
was round dead November 7 in the cel-
lar of his home. Wrapped about the
deceased 's head were towels and .other
articles taken from a clothes line in
the yard, and near the body was a
bottle containing chloroform. The cir-
cumstances, said the coroner, indicated
feud murder.

Mrs. Sobicek told the authorities she
had been awakened early in the morn-
ing by a noise in the yard, as if dogs
had got in. Her husband went out to
investigate and she fell asleep. At
breakfast time he was missing. Then
she found his body.

She knew of no enemies of her hus-
band, she said, though her home in Blue
Point was once set on fire and at an-
other time her home in Sayville was
robbed.

The deceased, who was 27 years of
age, is survived by three children as
well as his wife.

Lincoln, III.— Gullett & Sons will
keep open house, Friday, November 10,
for visitors to the flower show held by
the Illinois State Florists' Association,
at Bloomington, 111., November 9 and
10. The train will leave Bloomington
at 1:30, arriving at Lincoln one hour
later. Guests will then be shown
through the firm 's houses. Dinner will
be served in the evening.

Amherst, Mass. — November 11 to 13
will be staged the biggest flower show
ever seen at Massachusetts Agricultural
(Jollege. Besides the sixty or more
classes exhibited by the college, there
will be twenty classes open to florists
and keen competition is looked for. Sev-
eral of the Boston florists, among whom
are H. M. Robinson, William Penn and
Thomas Galvin, have volunteered to
send exhibits. A joint meeting of the
M. A. C. Club and the Northampton and
Holyoke Florists' Club will be held
Monday evening and will be followed
by a snappy social.

New Orleans, La. — A nund)or of lots
near the Metairie cemetery have been
acquired by P"'rank Reith, who has plans
for a nursery on the property.

Norfolk, Va. — After a year out of
the business, Mrs. A. E. Fricke has
"come back," proving that, despite
its uncertainties and more or less
fluctuating fortunes, the florists' busi-
ness has its attractions.

Montgomery, Ala. — Frank Browne, of
the Morningview Greenhouses, has a
new coleus of which he thinks highly.
It is a seedling of Golden Bedder
crossed by Beckwith 's Gem. The cen-
ter of the leaves is rich red, bordered
with a deep yellow band. He is think-
ing of naming the variety and putting
it on the market.

New Orleans, La. — The sale of chrys-
anthenmnis in New Orleans for All
Saints' day this year produced some
curious conditions. The supply of flow-

ers was greatly in excess of the de-
mand. This is attributed to a great
overproduction by local florists and
amateur gardeners. The weather in
New Orleans this year has been favor-
able to the i)roduction of chrysanthe-
mums. Flowers as large and fine as
any grown elsewhere in the United
States were produced in all parts of the
city in the oi)en air. The amateurs dis-
posed of their wares at prices greatly
below the cost of production. Unfor-
tunately, this class of producers did not
figure their labor and put their product
on the market recklessly. The result
was a collapse in prices. The finest
varieties sold at 2.5 cents per dozen
and in a few localities the price is re-
ported to have gone even lower. The
supply was so large that dealers anxious
to dispose of their goods are said to
have driven their wagons to the ceme-
teries at 4 o'cloo^k in the morning. An
immense number of flowers were sold,
but the market was not profitable.

Besultfl bring advertisiiig.
The Review brings resulto.

Flower store window displays in most
rases merely are decorations, not adver-
tisements.

• Even a grouch can make himself agree-
able to a prospective buyer of anything
that he has to sell.

Why is it the trade in general makes
such small use of the iris? There are
few flowers possessed of richer coloring
and there is scarcely anything easier to
grow, but there are not many florists
who ever recommend the iris to a cus-
tomer.

' ' .TusT a little token of appreciation ' '
uas the card in a box of excellent chrys-
anthemums that came to The Review
from a reader, Leonard Lawson, at Rock-
t'ord, 111. A certificate of merit for cul-
ture would be due ^fr. Lawson in any
flower show.

In the shortage of coal, and the ac-
companying high price, the growers arc
getting a taste of what publishers havo
for some months experienced with the
])aper market. If sympathy is of any
use, the grower has ours, for the return
to normal conditions may be long de-
layed.

Beyond any question there are certain
sections, north and south, between the
mountains and the Great Lakes that af-
ford special opportunities for growers
for rapidly developing wholesale markets.
The demand for flowers in that part of
the United States now is increasing at a
splendid rate.

"CERTAINLY DID THE WORK."

The classified ads in The Review, the

little liners one advertiser calls the

"Little Wonder Ads," while nearly all

speak of them in terms of high praise,

like this:

Please take out our ad of cyclamens, as we are
sold out of them. The little ad certainly did Its
■work In jig time. — Charles Sherwood, Waterloo,
In., November 4, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

FAILURES ARE FEW.

The failures in general lines of busi-
ness in October were less in number
than in any recent yedff, according to
R. G. Dun & Co., and failures among
florists have been negligible in number
and importance since early in the pres-
ent year, when the boom in business be-
gan. But many florists now are on
thin ice — the increase in the cost of do-
ing business has not been offset by
corresponding increases in selling prices.
Conditions are shaping themselves so
that a closer consideration of credits
is imperative; many florists, especially
those retailing the product of their own
greenhouses, now are selling at no more
than the cost of production and, with
costs constantly rising, an increase in
the number of business embarrassments
in this trade seems only to be avoided
by a change in business methods which
many thus far have shown no indication
of making.

BUSINESS SUFFERS CHECK?

Business never was so active as now,
but the florists' trade has not benefited
as it should for the reason that retail
prices in this trade have not advanced
in anything like the same proportion
as have the things used in the business,
coal for instance. But that high com-
modity prices are not an unmixed bless-
ing is beginning to be apparent. In
many lines of business a check is being
experienced through the scarcity of raw
material and the conscrjuent famine
prices.

The Fedeial Reserve Board has just
made public reports on business condi-
tions from the twelve Federal Reserve
Agents whidi are optimistic in the ex-
treme. When they are submitted to
careful study, hoivovcr, there are found
various elements of uncertainty and in
some instances positive pessimism. Tt
is not to be denied that the greater part
of the prosperity of the United States is
due to the demand created by the Euro-
pean war. It has been reported that
high and increasing cost of everything
used in manufacturing is the most pro-
nounced feature of the present busi-
ness condition. Raw materials of prac-
tically every kind are scarce. Manufac-
turers therefore find it impossible to
take full advantage of the great de-
mand for goods and to extend their
business as they might were the pres-
ent growth in business brought about
by healthy conditions.

In the coal market anthracite con-
tinues strong and steady, with demands
greater than offerings. Bituminous is
in active request, with supplies light
because the scarcity of labor is limit-
ing production. The railroads, steel
plants and large manufacturing con-
cerns are buying freely at steadily ad-
A ancing prices. The chief factors in

the coal situation seem to be the great
scarcity of labor and the shortage of
cars, which conditions are tending to
seriously curtail production. The pro-
duction of coke ifi still far under the
' demand, and record prices are being
offered for the limited output.

It is feared here that the growing
scarcity of coal will force many fac-
tories to close down. This is just as
serious an outlook for the business man
as is the constant increase in cost and
growing scarcity of raw materials. The
situation might be described as a period
of high prices and not of healthy pros-
perity, because starvation is what is
foreseen, not only by the cheap laborer,
but also by the small manufacturer who
finds his supply of raw materials cut
off.

But there is every assurance that
florists in general will have the largest
season in their experience. While the
high cost of food, fuel and clothing may
restrain some who would buy flowers,
most of the regular patrons of florists
have a margin above the cost of sus-
tenance and will not be greatly affected
by the cost of other articles. There has
been no advance in the retail prices of
"flowers, except in rare instances. It
does not promise to be an especially
profitable season for florists for that
very reason — costs are greater but sell-
ing prices are not higher. The trade
should raise its retail prices moderately
all along the line, not enough to check
the buying of flowers, but enough to
put more money in circulation in the
trade.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

To what several causes the present
condition of the market principally is
to be attributed it is difficult to con-
jecture. Certain it is, however, that
conditions are below par and^^r from
normal. With the 6*t«wTailiatily warm
weather which prevailed last week,
crops of all kinds have quite naturally
been hastened, bringing to the market
great quantities of all varieties of
mums, pompons, roses and carnations,
mostly of exceptionally fine quality.
This great quantity of stock has glutted
the market and the result is that much
good stock has had to be sold at sharp
concessions. There is a good deal of
poor material on the market and, al-
though some of this was taken up by
smaller florists and flower stands, a
large part of it has been hard to sell at
any price. High grade stock fared
better, as a rule, and was for the best
part cleared at fairly satisfactory
prices. Although shipping is not what
could be wished for, it still is holding
up fairly well. It is the city trade
that has suffered most by the unusually
heavy supply and the unseasonably
warm weather.

American Beauties in all lengths are
in suflScient supply, but on the whole
are clearing fairly well. Other vari-
eties of roses are on the market in
large quantities, and of good quality,
but are moving slowly, much good ac-
cumulated stock being disposed of at
sharp concessions. Carnations are now
on the market in ample supply; in fact,
it might be stated that there are too
many, for the demand is not keeping
pace with the supply and consequently
some excellent stock has been moved
only after a considerable cut in price.

It Will Pay You to Handle
Our Big Mums a«^ Pompons

IE Mum season is at its height with us— and with our custo-
mers. The best sorts are ready in quantity and prices for first-
class stoclc are distinctly moderate— it is worth the Retailer's
best effort to push our stoclc for the profit he will make and the

satisfaction his customers will get. We have

all sizes and colors in the big Mums and all

types and colors in bunch Mums.

(We do not handle the surplus stock of those who grow Mums for their
own retail trade, nor do we handle catch crops grown to fill a vacant corner
—and no week-old California cloth-house Mums. The Mums we offer all are
fine, fresh flowers, grown by Mum specialists.)

FINE CARNATIONS

You can get of us all the Carnations you need— fine stock, all
the best varieties, at prices that will look very reasonable in com-
parison to what Carnations have been bringing.

SHORT-BEAUTIES-MEDIUM

We are ready for an increase in orders for short and medium
Beauties. The quality of the stock is excellent and we have a
large supply — the largest in the west.

PLENTY OF ROSES

There may be other Roses as fine as ours, somewhere, but we
do not know of any large supply that averages such good quality —
and you can see for yourself by reading our list that we have all
the most popular varieties, the Roses your trade calls for. The
cut is large and prices are depressed by the competition of Mums,
so we are able to give extra good falue.

DOUBLE- VIOLETS-SINGLE

If you are not satisfied with the quality of the Violets you are
using, try ours. They are worth what we ask for them.

ORCHIDS VALLEY

We oflFer fine Cattleyas in You always can get fine Val-

quantity. ley here.

EASTER LILIES

While we never are without good Giganteum Lilies, our supply this
week is larger than usual. The stock is line, cut tight for shipping.

Mention The Revlc'w when yon write. ,

The averajijos of recent weeks are said
to have been cut in two.

Mums and ])onipons of all varieties
are in extremely heavy supply and the
demand is not great enough to keep
them moving. Lower prices therefore
have obtained. There are those who
believe that the depression of the mar-
ket principally has been due to the ac-
tiofi of Pertain wholesale houses which
obtained large quantities of chrysanthe-
mums from California. The first ship-
ments of these came when the supply
was less than the demand, but heavy
shipments last week came in at a time
when the local suj)ply was all that the
legitimate trade could consume. The
result was to depress prices to the ])oint
where the California stock is barred by
the high cost of transportation, pack-
ing and waste, for of course the buyers
prefer home stock at the same jirice.

Valley is the one thing which may
be said to have been satisfactory in the
last week, clearing easily. The prin-
cipal sources of supply have advanced
their price to $(> i)er hundred. Lilies
are easy, as the demand is small. Or-
chids are in good supply, with a fair
demand, but are selling at slightly
lower i)rices than hitherto have ob-
tained. Violets are not in much de-
mand, but are clearing pretty well at
widely varying prices. Sweet peas are
coming in a little late this season and
still are scarce. The demand, however,
is fair, and what stock conies in is clear-
ing easily. In fact, November 4 it was
impossible to buy any on the market.
Snapdragons are in moderate supj)ly.
The demand is enough to clear stock
at a fair figure.

Greens are in good supply and are
moving fairly well.

Club Doings.

There is every prospect of a first-
class show at Hotel La Salle next Sun-
day, November 12, when the Florists'
Cliib will hold its Floral Art and Nov-
elty display. A large number of in-

CARNATIONS

are in much better supply than they have been for a long
time and we can take good care of you from now on. In

vitatioiis have been sent out, by the
club, by exhibitors and by the hotel
management. The right i)eople will be
there. A large number of retailers will
be rei)resented by baskets, bouquets or
table decorations and all the principal
growers will send cut flowers, which
the committee will arrange in vases for
effect. Everyone is invited to help the
show along.

The clul) will hold a postponed meet-
ing at Hotel Morrison November 16,
when officers will be nominated for
1917. The postponement is because
many of the active club members went
to Hlooniington on the 10:15 train this
morning, November 9, to attend the

meeting and show of the Illinois State
Florists' Association.

October Weather.

October was an unusually favorable
month for the growers, although there
were wide extremes of temperature,
the range being as much as 31 degrees
within twenty-four hours and .52 degrees
for the month. The percentage of pos-
sible sunshine was ten per cent above
normal, although the precipitation was
fifty per cent above normal.

S A Commercial Red Carnation

5 " THENANTH08 is a new carnation evolved by Jolin Tlien, of Cliicagro, as a result of

S many years' study and work. All cuttings will be cold grown and packed under his

2 immediate supervision. The following are some of its attributes:

■; Color — Brilliant scarlet of uniform shade.

S Size — Flowers average over 3% inches in diameter.

Z Fragrance — Strong and pleasing.

Z Stem — Strong but graceful, average length 214 to 3 feet.

S Keeplnii: Qualities — Unusually good, as il has never shown any tendency to sleep in

^ plant or when cut. An excellent keeper and shipper.

— Sales — Demand always in excess of supply on Chicago market, and prices secured

— for Thenantbos have been the highest.

S THENANTHOS cuttings will prove an unusually good investment for the up-to-date

2 grower. So nearly perfect is it that it took sweepstakes cup for best seedling as well

— as medal certificate and first prize at the last Chicago Flower Show less than a year ago.
" Here are some of its features:
Z (>rowth — Habit of Scott, but stronger stem.
SS Prolific Bloomer — Averaging 30 flowers per plant.
S Production — Strong producer of cuttings, easy to root average 90%.
S Health — Free from rust or disease.
2 Seasonable— Blooms heavily in December, best time for red carnations, but also

— flowers splendidly throughout entire year, including the summer.
S Poliage — Grows a bushy, large plant.

PARENTAGE

Thennnthos has an ancestry to be proud
of. Its parentage is:

ENCHANTRESS X RED SEEDLING

This red seedling was a cross of
NELSON X LAWSON

Every one of these carnations is of such
well known excellence that no comment
is necessary. The characteristics of
Scott are very marked in Thenantbos.

PRICES AND DELIVERY

THENANTHOS cold grown cuttings
will be ready for delivery January 1st,
1!)17. The demand will prove a heavy
strain on the supply. All shipments made

Local growers are on the anxious
seat over the question of fuel supply.
Not many of them have as much coal
on their places as they usually have at
this date and deliveries on contracts are

slow, the coal dealers stating they can
not get cars. Free coal on track," what
little there is of it, is to be had at not
less than two or three times the prices
at which contracts were niaile last

Among other varieties of carnations
which N. J. Kruchten grows in his
houses at 5308 North Western avenue,
is the Aviator, with which he is having
good success and of which he thinks
highly.

Eobert Newcomb, of the American
Bulb Co., has returned from a trip
south. He says he found florists doing
an excellent business all along the
route, nearly all commenting on the
need for higher prices, but each afraid
to be the first to ask them. Mr. New-
comb believes those who retail should
start the upward movement now and not
wait for a further rise in costs.

At the houses of Wietor Bros., mums
and pompons are at the height of their
season. Quite a number of pompons
were disbudded one to a stem this year,
including Golden Climax, Buckingham,
Emile, Mary Richardson, etc. This is
the first year that Wietor Bros, have
grown pompons this way and they are
expectant as to how they will be re-
ceived by the trade. A new pompon has
also been originated. It is a cross with
Emile and is of a wine color. It has
not yet been registered.

J. F. Kidwell Co., 3530 Michigan
avenue, has put a new light delivery
car on the street.

Pyfer & Olsem, Wilmette, have re-
ceived a large shipment of azaleas, ken-
tias and araucarias from Belgium. The
stock arrived in good condition.

In the lobby of the Willoughby build-
ing, corner of Michigan avenue and
Madison street, Joseph A. and Mary J.
Wittmer are building up a nice trade.
They have had years of experience in
greenhouse work in Indiana and opened
in Chicago about two months ago.

Emil Eeichling is confident Peter
Rcinberg will have an exceptionally
large crop of roses for Christmas. He
has many houses pinched and coming
on in fine shape for the holiday crop.
At the carnation range everything is in
full swing and a large crop is being
cut.

E. F. Winterson is planning to build
a residence on his new property at
Highland Park next summer.

Ray Williams, for thirteen years gen-
eral superintendent of the fertilizer fac-
tories of Swift & Co., has become a
stockholder in the Chicago Feed & Fer-
tilizer Co. and is in charge of its fac-
tory at Osborn, Ind. The business of
the company has increased to such an
extent that a larger output has become
necessary and the company soon will
spend about $150,000 in the erection of
a new factory, which it is intended will
be one of the most modern in the coun-
try. A location has not yet been de-
cided on. H. E. Humiston is traveling
in the east in the interests of the com-

pany. He has spent over twenty-five
years under glass.

One of the largest and finest refriger-
ators ever built in this country will be
installed next week in the new quar-

city and just now industry is greater
than ever, factories having many war
orders, so that buying power is higher
than usual. That there are only seven
florists in this city of nearly 60,000
I)eople is explained by the fact that
there are more private greenhouses than
florists and that the area of private
glass nearly equals the area of com-
mercial glass. None of the branches
of the three leading families of the city

patronizes the florists except on rare
occasions. Consequently the calls for
flowers, while numerous, are at moder-
ate prices.

grown, but most of the space is used for
|)ot plants. Most of the large quantity
of cut flowers needed in the store are
obtained from Chicago, distant only
eighty-five miles. The second floor of
the store building is used for a large
stock of birds and goldfish.

At .319 North Lafayette street, only
a few blocks removed from the busi-
ness center, is the establishment of W.
D. Rettic, one of the oldest in northern
Indiana and typical of the old style
place growing and retailing in a resi-
dence district. Before the days of
downtown stores such places consti-
tuted the greater part of the industry.
Mr. Rettic never has been able to
grow as much as he sells.

The South Bend Floral Co., the larg-
est range of glass in town, was started
with a flourish several years ago by
Irving Gingrich, now a teacher of the
voice. The establishment is the prop-
erty of A. Kinyon, who grows a general
line for the retail store at 216 South
Michigan street.

Adam .T. Beehler has doubled his fa-
cilities this year; he has built a second
house. He retails from the greenhouses
and is doing a prosperous business.

Williams & Co., at 138 South Michigan
street, took over the retail store of
Willis Kinyon when the latter decided
to confine his attention to the green-
houses at 1702 Portage avenue, where
he grows a general line for the neigh-

borhood trade. Williams & Co. have
no glass; they get a part of their stock
from local growers when they have a
surplus but draw most of their cut
flowers from the Chicago market.

H. M. Kinzie is a more recent addi-
tion to the ranks of the trade. He is
located on the Lincoln highway east of
town and is selling without difficulty
all that he can produce.

The latest to enter the field is H. H.
Swain, on the edge of the city. He
grew vegetables, flowers only as a hob-
by; but recently he has been branching
out and bids fair to do well in a neigh-
borhood wav.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

A week of extremely warm and
bright weather advanced chrysanthe-
mums so quickly that there was some
talk of a glut, but as yet tlK- jirices
have not suffered. The public is be-
ginning to take more interest in pom-
pons, singles and crested forms, which
are especially attractive this year and
among which are many promising seed-
lings.

Because of the predominance of the
mums, roses and carnations may be had
in large lots at ridiculously low prices,
extra select roses bringing only ,$6 an(l
.$7 per hundred. In order to move this

stock, which is of first-class qualitr,
some of the stores have resorted to the
$1 box sales, which also include sweet
peas, violets and snapdragons.

Weddings have been less numerous,
but counter trade has been brisk, partly
on account of much sickness in the city.
Funeral work has been unimportant and
has caused the price of lilies to drop
to .$l'per dozen. Greens have greatly
improved in quality and increased in
quantity.

Various Notes.

Mrs. A. P. Reynolds left November
2 for New York to purchase stock for
the Circle Flower Store. Mr. Reynolds
has returned from Chicago, where he
went on a similar errand.

The Market.

The month of November has started
well, with a good demand for cut flowers,
and the volume of business last week was
equal to that of any week in October, if
not surpassing it. The supply of cut
flowers is large, chrysanthemums in nu-
merous varieties reigning supreme. Dur-
ing the week Golden "Wedding, Major
Bonnaffon, in yellow and white, and pom-
pons, in great variety, appeared in the
market. Koses are of excellent quality,
the bright sunshine of the last two weeks
having done much to improve their qual-
ity as well as to increase the quantity,
the only scarce varieties being Kussell
and Beauty. Shawyer and Killarney
are plentiful in the pinks, while
Ophelia, Sunburst aiid Ward are in good
supply in the yellows.

Carnations are rapidly gaining a place
in the market and prices are good. Vio-
lets are increasing in supply. This also
is true of Easter lilies. The demand for
these is excellent. The supply of lily of
the valley is not sufficient to meet the de-
mand, which is heavy owing to the great
number of fall weddings. Cattleyas con-
tinue to arrive in large numbers and the
demand ia good.

November 4, but even they could not
begin to clean up the stock.

Centennial week was one f^rand "-day
gala. The weather was as if ina<ie to
order, such as we sometimes have at
this season of the year. There was so
much doing outdoors, however, that
there was not much demand for flowers,
either for homes or social functions.
The wholesalers exjjerienced the worst
glut of flowers of a year and, to make
matters worse, N'ovendier 4 wns a cold,
rainy day that put a damper on all
hopes as to a clean-up.

Various Notes.

George Burke, superintendent of
parks, opened his shows November 5
at Schenley park and the north side
conservatory. The i)lants and flowers
are in fine condition and are a credit
to the foremen, .lohn Jones and .lames
Moore.

The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. and the
other Ludwig concern were the o'nly
tradesmen represented in the centennial
parade November '^, and they did their
part creditably. Both had handsome
displays and deserve credit for holding
up the city's florists' business.

Htock seems to have become more
plentiful and prices are somewhat
lower, although the drop is hardly no-

up. Koses are plentiful and are in fine
shape. The cut is suiliciently large to
take care of the demand and there does
not seem to be a shortage of any one
variety. Carnations are becoming more
plentiful and the quality of the stock
is good at this time. Owing to the
dark, cloudy weather, this stock' was
somewhat soft and of a sleepy appear-
ance for a few days, but the cut was
disposed of at fair prices.

and the supply will not last so long as
usual. The stock is in fine shape and is
selling well despite the abundant sup-
I^ly. Bonnaffons are already in the
market and, as these should be about
too weeks later, they increase the sup-
ply at present to the detriment of the
future supply.

Orchids are in good supply and are
selling at $6 per dozen upward. A'alley,
of course, is scarce, and lilies are only
in fair supply. Watertown violets are
in good supply and the quality is good;
in fact, much better than last year's

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market has broken so badly that
all the wholesalers feel that their best
efforts have been in vain. They have
tried every method that ingenuity could
suggest to dispose of the immense quan-
tities of flowers tliat have been placed
in their liands, with only moderate suc-
cess. The change in the weather has
reduced production. This leads to the
hope that before long supply and de-
mand will become more evenly bal-
anced; then a better market will come.

An accurate report of the present
conditions is disheartening. Fine
weather and skillful culture have
brought in a vast quantity of well
grown chrysanthemums and ])ompons.
The demand has been so light that low
prices have been realized on most of
the stock — prices about one-third less
than value. Nothing is scarce, save
possibly Vanda ca-rulea and Asparagus
plumosus strings; neither of these
items amounts to much in the sum total
of business. Carnations have fallen in
price. Roses have recovered a trifle
under lighter receipts. Violets sell as
the Sabbath approaches and lag during
the middle of the week; quantity sales
to clear uj) are made at extremely low
figures.

The leading chrysanthemums today
are Charles Rager, white; Major Bon-
nafl'on, yellow; Chieftain, pink. There
also is White Chieftain. Afaud Dean,
pink, is just commencing. There are
other good varieties, but these will s>if-
fice to show that the midseason varieties
are in their glory. T'ompons, in a jtro-
fusion of good sorts, are seen every-
where. Their price has declined in
sympathy with the general market.

So to him the question is put concern-
ing present conditions in this field of
enterprise, ^fr. Clark said: "The im-
portations of bulbs, particularly Dutch
bulbs, have been extremely heavy this
season. Even so the demand has out-
stripped the supply, making it impos-
sible to fill many orders in full. There
should be a general bulb clearing house,
which would enable the larger import-
ers to secure one from the other what
each could spare that another required
early in the season. There is an ar-
rangement by which this is done before
the season closes, but it becomes effec-
tive too late to be of much benefit.
When it became apparent, about the

middle of September, that certain va-
rieties of bulbs would be in short sup-
ply, an eff'ort was made to secure
them by cable. This eff'ort was frus-
trated by the British censor, who,
fearing that the names of the bulbs
might be a cable code for munitions of
war, with a reverse meaning for send,
blocked the shij)ment.

"This was especially aggravating be-
cause some of the ladies' garden clubs
decided that ]turple and lavender shades
of Darwin tulijjs woubl harmonize beau-
tifully with Delphinium Belladonna,
and so ordered these May tuli|>s with a
liberality that upset all calculations. It

this country were not taken into the

"Great quantities of bulbs were sold
at low prices in the auction houses.
The difficulty about these bulbs for the
best buyers is that they frequently
come from a number of sources, so that
they cannot be depended upon for uni-
formity. There stSll are plenty of
bulbs unsold in this country of certain
varieties, but not more than enough to
fill the probable demand during the
closing weeks of the season."

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market has broken so badly that
all the wholesalers feel that their best
efforts have been in vain. They have
tried every method that ingenuity could
suggest to dispose of the immense quan-
tities of flowers that have been placed
in their hands, with only moderate suc-
cess. The change in the weather has
reduced production. This leads to the
hope that before long supply and de-
mand will become more evenly bal-
anced; then a better market will come.

An accurate report of the present
conditions is disheartening. Fine
weather and skillfnl culture have
brought in a vast quantity of well
grown chrysanthemums and ])ompons.
The demand has been so light that low
prices liave been realized on most of
the .stock — i)rices about one-third less
tlian value. Notiiing is scarce, save
possibly \'aiida cu'riilea and Asparagus
j)lumosus strings; neither of these
items nmouiits to iiiuiii in the sniii total
of business. Carnations have I'ajlen in

Last week was another scorcher as to
prices and enormous shipments — even
worse than its predecessors. Good Sat-
urdays are always expected and usu-
ally they are to be depended upon, but
not so of late. The weekly clean-up is
disappointing. Last week there was a
sale of roses, accumulations, 10,000 for
$10 ! It is a shame to mention it, but it
is true.

November 4 the large buyers were
offering less than half of last year's
values. Mums worth more than $1 per
dozen were sacrificed at .50 cents, and
even went as low as $3 per hundred.
Wholesalers considered themselves for-

sold in other years at $4 to $6 per
dozoii. Shii)ments of mums were never
so large as at this date. They also are
two weeks ahead of schedule time. Grow-
ers are astonished at the low prices, but
wait for the later varieties and Thanks-
giving to see the prices soar. The big
pro-Hughes parade November 4 called
for thousands of yellow mums and
every retail window in New York and
Brooklyn is a "thing of beauty." The
big mum shows to be given in New
York this week should emphasize the
loveliness of the autumn queen.

Roses are unlimited in quantity, and
their quality leaves nothing to be de-
sired, but there are too many of them
for retail requirements. The "side-
walk merchants" and department stores
reap the benefit of these conditions.
American Beauties hold their own and
are again running an even race with
Hadley. Prima Donna is fast improv-
ing and Francis Scott Key, Russell,
Mock and Lady Stanley are superb.
These deserve more appreciation than
they receive.

Carnations do not sell above $2 per
hundred, and their quality improves
but slowly. The flowers liave to bo
exceptionally good to merit this figure.
Most of the arrivals sell at $10 per
thousand and under.

Violets are larger, better colored and
advancing more slowly. Valley con-
tinues strong and the supply is light.
The top price now is $5 per hundred,
and the same figure is quoted for longi-
florum lilies. Orchids continue to hold
steady at .$.'!5 per hundred, a few choice
flowers realizing 40 cents.

Flowers are Flowers

4l,But there is a differeDce. When it comes to measuring then) up from a per-
fect standard, there are but few ; the same is true of baskets. We don't claim
that our baskets are the most perfect on the market, but we do ask your judg-
ment, if you have used Neidinger's baskets, as to whether you have ever bought
a more practical line with that rich appearance for as little money as you have
from us.

CA great many florists never ask the man who fills the basket if he has any
preference for this or that basket, consequently he is not aware of the fact that
there is a difference. Then, again, there is the florist has gotten into the old
rut of buying from certain people. He does not know that he is probably paying
a higher price for his baskets than his competitor, who he thinks is selling very
cheaply; but if he only knew that this same competitor was probably making
more profits on his baskets than he was, owing to the fact that his competitor
was buying newer and more up-to-date baskets at a lower price than he, then
the wise florist would look around elsewhere.

CDon't fail to see the line our men have on the road.

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

USE ARNOLD BOXES AND KNOW THAT THE
FIRST IMPRESSION IS FAVORABLE TO YOU

vellow that is wonderfully effective.
We believe it will become one of the
dozen most i)opular oannas in time.

California is not truly variegated, but
has such a milifiling of f;old, bronze and
red that it gives the appearance of
l)eing of more than one color. We find
this old variety one of tlie most attrac-
tive for bordering beds of either red or
yellow cannas. It is not yet superseded,
by any means.

' As to Gladioflora, we think more of
it every year we see it grow. The
mingling of red and yellow is so good,
the habit of growth and freedom of
bloom are so nearly i)erfect, and the
bright appearance of the bed is so strik-
ing tliat we can easily overlook the
fact that the flowers are not so large as
some of the newer varieties.

A Strong-Growing Orchid Type.

Mrs. Karl Kelsey is one of the strong-
est-growing, largest-fiowcred and freest
of the orchid-llowercd type. The flow-
ers are decidedly striped with several
shades of red, orange, etc. It is one
of the tallest of cannas, but, after all,
it will never be popular, for the color is
not pretty. We have not yet found one
])erson who picked it as one of the
dozen best, though it has a ])lace, espe-
rially in borders, where it lights up the
shrubbery that is out of bloom. Of
course it is not hardy.

Perhaps it is out of i)lacc to mention
our own seedlings here, but we have
two seedlings of Gaiety which we be-
lieve to be of real merit. One has the
same size of bloom and the same gen-
eral habit of flower, though it is not so
good a multiplier. But in color it is
one of the cannas that instantly at-
tract attention, it is a deep, velvety
red with a nasturtium tint, and is wide-
ly bordered with pure yellow. The
other seedling is, in color, between a
«oral and a shrimp pink, bordered with

flowering the plants shoukl be placed

TIMING GIGANTEUM LILIES.

How can Lilium giganteum be han-
dled so that we can bring the j>lants
into bloom at certain intervals?
Should we j)ot them at intervals, or is
it better to ])ot them all as soon as
they aie receixed, ])lace the jiots in a
cellar or coldfranie and then bring
them in as desired? Are they hardy
enough so that freezing in a coldframe
will not injure tliem?

M. E. C— Kan.

Lilium giganteum likes heat from
start to finish. I do not know whether
you are referring to new season's or
cold storage bulbs. If the latter, they
must be started at intervals of, say, a
fortnight to secure a succession. AVith
new bulbs it is, of course, the best
plan to pot them as soon as possible
after being received, but you could hold
them 'for a month or two in a cold cel-
lar provided the bulbs are packed in
sand or dry earth and the scales are
not at all exjtosed. You could, no
doubt, keep them in this way until
February without having recourse to

stock would give you better results
than the late. It is not advisable to
place the potted plants in coklframes
or cellars and you must certainly not
allow them to freeze. The proper treat-
ment is to give them a night tempera-
ture of 55 to 60 degrees at the begin-
ning and 60 to 65 degrees when they
are well started. Of course, you could
keep part of your crop cooler once the
buds are well formed, but they must not
have a sharp drop in temperature, or
many buds will fail to open. C. W.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Summer-like weather prevailed here
last week, much to the dislike of grow-
ers, wholesalers and retailers. Large
quantities of stock arrived daily. Mums,
csj)ecially, came in heavily. The re-
tailers complain that the returns fell off
considerably on account of the cheap-
ness of flowers and the wholesalers have
a great deal of trouble trying to dis-
pose of the large quantity of stock at
anything like a fair price. The prices
of chrysanthemums dropped and only
the extra select stock brought good
figures. Major Bonnaffon, Chadwick,
Kelley, Appleton and Eaton now are
coming in ; Ivory and Golden Wedding
are expected soon. The exhibition
blooms alone hold up in price; other
grades bring from $2 to $5 per hundred.

The great glut of roses is on, as was
expected, just when the mums are at
their height. One wholesaler remarked,
"You can't give them away." The
stock is excellent and it is a great pity
there is no market for it. Carnations
sell well, but at low prices; $1 to
$2 per hundred is asked. Valley is up
to $6 per hundred and good stock can
be had daily at this price. Orchids
clean up at $6 per dozen. Both valley
and orchids liave a most excellent de-
mand. Lilies, as yet, are scarce and in
good demand. Violets are improving
and colder weather will see them in ex-
cellent shape. Smilax, asparagus, flat
ferns and other greens had a goo(l call
last week.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation held an interesting meeting No-
vember 1 at the Eleven Mile House.
The big cut of chrysantliemums con-
signed to the St. Louis market by the
county growers came uj) for general dis-
cussion. I'resident Winter urged all
members to work har<l to make the com-
ing sj)ring flower show a ])ig success.

ing was well attended and that the
nieinbcrs are showing a great interest
in the proceedings of the association.
The officers of the association will hold
a special meeting to prepare plans to
enroll all county growers who, as yet,
are not members, as it is to their inter-*
est to become members.

The Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion holds its meeting November 9 and
10, at Bloomington, 111. A number of
the trade here expected to make the
trip and attend the show.

The big show windows of the Wash-
ington avenue store of Grimm & Gorly
attracted a great deal of attention last
week. They had a fine exhibition of
cut mums. The mild weather brought
out large crowds and a good transient
trade was done.

In the wholesale district on Pine
street last week chrysanthemums were
in the majority in the cut flower line.
The houses of Smith, Kuehn, Windier,
Berning, Angermueller and the St.
Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co. had a
large supply of everything in season.
Prices were low, as there was a great
overproduction of everything. Buyers
had their way when it came to making
prices and thousands of blooms were
disposed of (luring the week.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. rented a vacant store next door for
the sale of chrysanthemum plants from
"Billy" Smith's farm. This made
room at the main store for the cut
stock. These are great days for Paddy
Patton, who loves to work.

The bouquets for the bride's party at
the big Busch wedding, as well as the
decorations, were furnished by Grimm
& Gorly. This job kept the force on
the .juni]) for several days.

The stores of Weber, Witek, Boerm,
Sauilers, Young, Miller and Kalisch, \\\
the far west end, attracted a great
deal of attention last week with fine
displays of seasonable cut flowers.
Business at these places is reported ex-
cellent.

Tlie Tucker Floral Co. has moved to
T^~^^(S Suburban Tracks and occupies a
neat looking store, over which Miss
Tucker jtresides. The location is de-
sirable and a good traile is reported
since the opening.

THE GHENT FLORAL CO.. NORFOLK. VA.

Floral Co., on Grand avenue, reports a
good trade in cut mums and fancy roses.
Fred Strohmeyer, the artist at this
place, keeps the windows decorated
splendidly.

The chrysanthemum show at the
store of Fred Foster last weelt was a
big success. The mums displayed dur-
ing the week were of the best and Mr.
Foster says he never before was so
busy. An extra force was needed to
wait on the trade.

W. S. "Wells, secretary of the Missouri
State Florists' Association, mailed a
copy of the constitution and by-laws to
all the members, and any florist in the
state wishing a copy can have one by
addressing the secretary at 4258 Flad
avenue, St. Louis.

William Meier, of St. Louis county,
is consigning a fine lot of cut mums to
the St. Louis market. Chas. Eager and
Wm. Turner mums are among the best.
His cut of violets sells splendidly daily.

Clifford Pruner, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Chicago, and M. Le Vine, of Lion
& Co., New York, were callers on the
trade last week. There also were a
number of suburban visitors to the
wholesale district last week, viewing
the great glut of stock. J. J. B.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Something like demoralization rules
in the cut flower market, conditions be-
ing worse than have existed for many
months, and values have slumped to
lower levels than a week ago. Chrys-
anthemums are at their flood tide. The
majority are not of particularly good
quality, but as purchasers will not pay
prices necessary for the growing of big
blooms, inferior grades are being pro-
duced by most of the growers. Bon-
naffon is once more the leader. No
cither variety equals this quarter-of-a-

low. A small nuniher of fancies reach
.$;! per dozen, but the majority go at
from r>0 cents to .$2. The highest price
I have heard of this season is $j per
dozen for small lots. Some made $4,
but these are only exceptions to the
rule.

Koses are having a hard time and
prices have droy.ped greatly. Stock
lo-inch to IS-inch at $1 per hundred,
and 21-inch to 24-inch grades at $2, are
hardly profitable prices. Beauties have
sold tolerably well at $20 to $25 per
hundred. Some fancy Eussell roses
have made $20. Carnations are druggy.

in black until after his funeral, as was
the entrance to the Flower Exchange.

William A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, has
1,500 begonias in fine shape for the holi-
days; also grand batches of poinsettias
and cyclamens. His azaleas have just
arrived from Belgium and he has 100,-
000 Dutch bulbs started. At present lie
is cutting a fine lot of Chrysanthemum
Chieftain.

The advisory board of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society voted No-
vember 3 to hold a big fruit show at
Horticultural hall, in conjunction with
the American Pomological Society, and
not to hold any fall exhibition of chrys-
anthemums and other flowers at all.
This decision is received with great dis-
favor. The recent policy of the society
in centralizing its efforts in one or two
big shows per annum and neglecting the
smaller shows has not proven successful.
The May exhibition was a failure, al-
though thousands of dollars were of-
fered in prizes. Boston will support a
big spring show, but big summer ex-
hibitions have never proved financial
successes. To cut out plants, flowers
and vegetables entirely at the expense
of fruits is a decidedly retrograde
policy.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is one of
the earliest shippers of Paper White
narcissi. He has a fine cut of Bon-
naflfon. White Bonnaffon, Eager, Chief-
tain and Pacific Supreme chrysanthe-
mums.

The King Construction Co. is complet-
ing a range of greenhouses on the es-
tate of Edward A. Clark, at Jamaica
Plain, Mass.

John A. Nelson, of Framingham, is
cutting excellent BonnaflFon and Eager
mums. His carnations are extremely
good. Ward, Matchless, Pink Delight,
Benora, Alice, Beacon and Fenn are his
leading varieties.

won the case and the court said that
even if the company had pleaded guilty
to breach of contract, the restraint-of-
trade action would have precluded a de-
cision in favor of the plaintiff.

Lester Morse, president of C. C.
Morse & Oo., San Francisco, returned
home November 1, after a brief visit to
Chicago.

Among the week's visitors at Chicago
have been T. M. Landrum and O. L.
Coulter, of C. 0. Morse & Co., San Fran-
cisco, Cal., working their way eastward.

Permission to lay spur tracks from
the C. M. & St. P. railway to its houses
at Faribault, Minn., has been granted the
Farmer Seed & Nursery Co. by the Fari-
bault municipality.

The seedsman who did not weeks ago
order the paper for his 1917 catalogue is
on the anxious seat. Not only have prices
doubled, but six to ten weeks are re-
quired to get delivery.

Says E. S. Thompson, in speaking of
conditions at Benton Harbor, Mich.:
"Business is a little ahead of last sea-
son's and is increasing satisfactorily.
Every growing thing is doing well, except
the bean, and prospects are that 'beans
will be beans' another year."

The Seed Importation Act of August
24, 1912, was amended August 11, 1916,
by adding rye-grass and vetch to the
seeds subject to the act and by prohibit-
ing entry of seeds containing less than
a specified percentage of pure, live seeds.
The regulations for the enforcement of
the act have been amended under date of
October 30 and seedsmen importing any
of the varieties subject to the act will

The Florists' Review

November 9, 1916.

do well to send to the Bureau of Plant
Industry, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, for a copy of the
folder.

Turnip seed never has been a really im-
portant crop in Holland, but the yield
this season is such that it is expected
many farmers viill refuse to cultivate it
again.

The mail-order house that last year
put 6 cents' worth of paper into its
catalogue this year is putting in 9 to 12
cents' worth, according to how recently
the purchase was made.

The end of the season for French bulbs
is indicated by the fact that the steamer
from Marseilles which reached New York
November 2 brought only fifty-seven
cases. In spite of the short crop and
high prices, imports this year have been
34,361 cases against 26,820 cases in
1915.

The Alfred J. Brown Seed Co., of
Grand Kapids, Mich., was one of the par-
ticipants in the eleventh annual trade ex-
tension tour of Grand Eapids wholesal-
ers. The excursion was made by special
train to Mackinaw, and then to the lead-
ing towns of the northern part of the
state.

A. 11. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, says prices are steadily advanc-
ing on peas, corn and onion sets, with
beans practically out of the market.
Canncrs are inquiring for large quan-
tities of peas and sweet corn and are
offering high prices for choice seed, but
little is for sale on the market.

A MEASURE of the importance of the
supply of seeds drawn from the south
of France is found in the report of the
U. S. consul at Marseilles, who states
tliat in 1914 the invoice value of "all
other" seeds except celery and cummin
exported to the United States was $34,-
448 and in 1915 the total fell to $22,042.

SEED IMPORTS BY QUEBEC.

The seed trade will be interested in
the figures on the values of seed im-
ports into the Province of Quebec/ Can-
ada, in the last two years:

Yes, it pays to advertise; especially

it pays to advertise in The Review —

we have the word of an Australian for

it and certainly if it pays an Australian

it should pay anybody and everybody:

August 0, 101(>.

This is from a seed grower who mere-
ly invites correspondence. If he were
in position to make a specific offer the
results Avould be still better.

CANADIAN WHEAT FOR SEED.

The wheat crop of southern Alberta,
which this year consisted largely of
No. 1, is being drawn on for seed pur-
poses so extensively by the United
States that there is some alarm among
Canadian agricultural authorities, who
fear depletion of the quantity avail-
able for use in Canada. Considerable
quantities of last year's Canadian crop
were imported into the United States
for seed purposes, the more northern
climate having a particularly invigorat-
ing effect on all varieties of grain.

partments, both of which, together with
the landscape branch, show steady ad-
vance. "By persistent driinnniiig

reports a steady increase in all branches
— seed, flower aiid laiuiscape. ]\ranagi'r
Pa[>worth remarked that tlie company's
shijiments of bulbs wei'c never finer in
quality or larger in lunnljcr.

The David Ilardie Seed Co., of Dallas,
Tex., belie\cs the general run of seed
business last spi'iiig was not so good as
usual, but following the recent rains a
liig impetus was given to fall sowing.
"We shall get our share of this pros-
peritv, " declared Manager JT. Walker.

Th'e Texas Seed & Floral Co., of
Dallas, finds its mailing business ex-
panding to such a degree that it can-
not take care of the box trade and will
retire that liranch in favor of bulk
supply.

port good business and predict larger

assertion of an interview with E. C.

Kirby Lumber Co., one of the largest
concerns in tlie Lone Star state, which
spends annually $1,000,000 for food

M. P. Hargreavcs, of Galveston, Tox.,
says one lesson the floods liavo taught
him- is to look farther afield for busi-
ness. To this end the concern is push-
ing the mailing end of the seed busi-
ness. ' ' We branched out into the
plant trade a year ago," observed Mr.
Hargreaves, "and have built up a nice
line solely througli The Eeview's classi-
fied ads, from which we selected the
stock suitable for this locality. I did

GEASS SEED IN AUSTBIA.

The central authorities at Carlsbad,
Bohemia, according to the U. S. consul
there, issue a publication for the infor-
mation and guidance of subordinate of-
ficials and of local and school authori-
ties of the political division repre-
sented. The last number contains a
statement that "since the planting of
grass seed is unfortunately indulged in
only to a slight degree within the
monarchy, this country has been com-
pelled in normal times to import a
great deal of this seed from foreign
countries, most of which are now
enemy lands; that since this import is
now naturally impossible, a large loss
of grass seed for the planting of lawns
and pastures is feared, if the seed from
the wild grass is not gathered and pre-
served; and that because of this short-
age, the ministry of agriculture in
Vienna has sent to the various agricul-
tural corporations in the several parts
of Austria, a publication, 'The Gather-
ing and Planting of Grass Seed,* and
a 'Memorandum Regarding the Gather-
ing of Grass Seed.' The purpose is to
aid in preserving and saving the seed
for the coming year.

valued at $442,064, or, roughly, 9%
cents a pound. The average annual im-
ports for those years from the five
countries sending here the bulk of the
imported seed were: Germany, 2,135,816
pounds; Great Britain, 1,434,754

Switzerland and British India,

A KEPOKT of the annual meeting of the

issue.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

There is a decidedly better tone to
business this week, both wholesalers
and retailers reporting a better demand
along practically all lines. The finer
weatiier has put the mums in better
condition, though the heat has brought
them along quickly, and they are not
likely to be any too plentiful around
Thanksgiving. Some fine Appletons
and Queens now are coming in and
these are about the best shippers out-
side of Bonnaffons, which are becoming
scarcer.

Koses continue to improve and there
are better carnations now for shipping
than have been on the market of late.
Indoor Cecile Brunner roses are coming
in well and bring a good price, but the
field-grown stock is a little short in the
stem. Centaureas in all colors, includ-
ing the blue cornflower, are keeping up
well. There still is a profusion of
dahlias and some late-blooming gladioli.
Orchids are more plentiful, Cattleya
labiata being now at its best, as well
as a few late Gaskelliana and gigas
blooms. Spray orchids cannot be said
to be popular, though there are more
of them sold than formerly.

Small flowering plants are more
plentiful, some good, small Chatelaine
begonias, cyclamens and pompon chrys-
anthemums helping out. There is a good
stock of ferns and palms, the small
kentias being cheaper than usual.
Greens of all kinds are in abundance.

Various Notes.

The second annual flower show held
under the auspices of the leading daily
paper here was far better in every way
than its predecessor. The trade came
through with fine groups and the pri-
vate gardeners of Pasadena also helped,
so that a bright and effective exhibition
was the result. One of the first exhib-
its to attract attention was that of
dahlias from Laurie's, of Pasadena. The
usual flat stands of specimen blooms
were shown, but there were in addition
fine open bunches of large-stemmed
showy blooms of kinds that are well
suited for cutting for commercial pur-
poses. W. Hunt, gardener for Arthur
Letts, of Hollywood, put up a fine group
of named shrubs, herbaceous plants and
ferns. It is truly surprising to note
such a number of shrubs that flower at
this season, though when one takes into
consideration the fact that such tender
subjects as dipladenias flower at Holly-
wood practically at midwinter, it is
not so much to be wondered at. Any-
way, it was a superb exhibit, excellent-
ly staged and attractive as well as edu-
cational. Theodore Payne had a nu-
merous family of native shrubs and
plants on view, an interesting collection.

The committee consisted of such well
known gardeners as J. McGilvray and
J. Taylor. W. W. Felgate, J. Urquhart
and others fixed up a most attractive
group of ferns, bamboos and aquatics.
Alongside this showing was the exhibit
of Howard & Smith. At the east end
of the building the Germain Seed &
riant Co. had a fine exhibit consisting
of an arbor built of eucalyptus poles,
with plants arranged effectively around
them. The attendance apparently was
fairly good and the committee deserves
great credit for its labors.

Tassano Bros, are showing a large lot
of pine cones from the north, which
Tony says are meeting with a good de-
mand on account of their novelty.

One of the attractions in the store
window of L. H. Freeman, on Fourth
street, is a massive Korean porcelain
vase of true delft blue. It stands at
least three feet high and is fine for
bold arrangement of chrysanthemums
and other large flowers. Mr. Freeman
says his business far exceeds that of
this time last year.

Gus Swenson, of Eagle Rock, is bring-
ing in a new white mum something in
the way of Queen, but fuller and with
a far stiffer and better stem. It looks
like a really good thing.

A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral
Co., has returned from his trip to the
middle west and reports a fine time.
Albert Knopf has been down with
grip, but comes to the store on fine
days and sticks to business gamely.

Frank Lichtenberg reports fine busi-
ness and at the time of my visit was
unpacking a lot of new baskets and
sundries for the opening of the season.
Mr. Lichtenberg and C. Gutting re-
turned this week from a hunting trip
around Murrietta.

W. Armacost & Co. are sending in
fine cyclamens, some of them in 9 and
10-inch pot,8, and not overpotted at
that. Mr. Armacost says that the
whole of the new range is now planted
up and working overtime.

Among the visitors last week were:
John Morley, of San Diego; Miss A. M.
Hosp, of Bakersfield; Mrs, H, G.
Helmer, of Santa Barbara.

80 it was harder to dispose of the great
quantities of chrysanthemums than
usual. The shippers are meeting with
more competition now that the crop is
coming on in other localities, but first-
class stock continues to bring high
prices. Prices usually drop under con-
ditions such as these, but the Japanese
growers pooled their crops this year,
as last year, and so far have succeeded
in holding prices at top notch in the
local market. It is understood that con-
siderable surplus stock was shipped
'"ast on consignment. Pompon chrysan-
themums are in heavier supply than
ever before, but the demand is suf-
ficiently active to warrant the increase
in supplies. It seems as though the
enormous offerings find an outlet with-
out much efi"ort.

Carnations are still in rather light
supply and prices are a little higher
than they were at this time last year.
A few kinds of summer stock linger,
but the offerings of this nature have
•"eased to be a feature of the market,
l^ahlias are about gone, after an ex-
tremely successful season. The supply
"f violets is increasing from day to
'iay, and the demand is all that can be
desired, both locally and for shipping,
''rincess. Giant and the new exposition
"varieties are plentiful, and a good
iiiany Marie Louise blooms now are
"^•oming in. A few lots of pansies are
•ippearing.

■lie rose crop is fine and all good
^toek moves off readily, at well main-
tained prices. There is a wonderful
ll'op of Russell at present and American
-beauties leave no ground for complaint.

Ward also is good, as well as Sunburst.
Paper Whites are beginning to appear,
but it is too early for them to make
much of an impression on the market.
There are plenty of orchids, but on the
other hand valley is practically off the
market and gardenias are only in light
supply. Some good-sized shipments of
red berries have started to come in and
they are having their usually good sale.

Various Notes.

Extensive improvements have been
completed at T. Mosco's store and they

add greatly to the general appearance
of the place and provide better facili-
ties. The store has been remodeled to
make use of about four feet of addi-
tional frontage. A modern front has
been installed, with a center entrance
replacing the previous side entrance and
single window arrangement. The new
windows have tile floors and are up-to-
date in every respect.

cultivation this year and is said to be
the largest violet producer in the state.
He recently purchased three auto^ao-
biles for delivery purposes and now is
doing an extensive shipping business,
as well as supplying many of the San
Francisco florists with stock. He is
bringing in a fine cut of Princess and
Giant violets and a good many of his
new variety, known as Exposition,
which is a lighter shade than the ordi-
nary violet. Mr. Lagomarsino has been
growing violets on a gradually increas-
ing scale for several years.

The Pacific Grove Dahlia Co. has is-
sued a new dahlia catalogue. It con-
tains twenty-four pages describing the
different varieties of dahlias, with an
instructive foreword on the culture of
dahlias. Full-page photographs of the
company's gardens are included.

Peter Grifo, with Joseph's store, is
back at work, after being laid up foi
two weeks with blood poisoning in his
hand, which was caused by a rose thorn.

F. J. Bertrand, manager of Joseph's,
says the committees which were ap-
pointed some time ago to work for bet-
ter conditions in the local trade are
making progress and probably will have
important announcements to make in
the near future.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing
in some nice gardenias, but only in lim-
ited quantities, as they have been
budded closely. This company has a
wonderful crop of Russell roses and con-
tinues to cut quantities of Cecile Brun-
ner. Sunburst and "Ward show good
quality.

Adolph Winters has leased new quar-
ters for his flower and music store at
Bichmond, an industrial suburb on the
east side of San Francisco bay. In the
new location, Macdonald avenue and
Eleventh street, he will have a store
11x50 feet, with a mezzanine floor.
The place is to be fitted up in fine shape
for occupancy at an early date.

Lavazello &u,Picetti have sold their
store at 1457 Haight street to Bert T.
Dinnes.

The bulb sale at the Emporium flower
department was a big success, aepording
to Manager Picetti.

Mrs. E. E. Darbee continues to ship
quantities of chrysanthemums. She
says her shipping business is better
than ever before. With retail business
also holding up well, she has no ground
for complaint.

The Art Floral Co. recently arranged
a vase of orchids worth $200 for a
golden wedding anniversary. The vase
stood about thirty-six inches high and
contained some twenty varieties of or-
chids, which were grown by J. A.
Carbone, of Berkeley. S. H. G.

lEATTLE, WASH.

There is an inadequate supply of cut
flowers, a condition that has prevailed
for some time. Chrysanthemums are
fairly plentiful, but this cannot be said
of other flowers. Business is a little
above normal and it may be expected
that prices, considering all things,
should have an upward tendency.
Such, however, is not the case, and
in some instances flowers are sold
more cheaply than in previous years,
when they were produced at far less
cost. The opinion is often, expressed
that it takes the Seattle florists a long
time to wake up, and, judging by the
advertisements lately displayed in the
local papers, that opinion is well found-

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBEB 9, 1916.

Various Notes.

H. L. Olsson is bringing in some fine
pot specimens of Chrysanthemum
Caprice, in its different colors. It
is easily the best pot variety seen
here. Mr. Olsson reports having almost
sold out of Primula obconica — nothing
left but the larger sizes in 6 and 7-inch
pots.

The Spokane Greenhouse Co. is offer-
ing Chieftain and White Chieftain
mums.

The Mrs. William Turner mums from
Adolph Donart, of Coeur d'Alene,
Idaho, are the best of their variety to
be seen anywhere in Spokane. A. J.
Burt is handling the entire crop and is
drawing admiring crowds to his store
with splendid window displays of this
great flower.

The Spokane Florist Co. had a win-
dow recently which admirably displayed
the chrysanthemum stock. Brown bam-
boo cane stakes were used to construct
a sort of lattice or pergola, from which
were suspended Japanese lanterns.

The Hoyt Bros. Co. is putting on the
finishing touches at 'the new store,
preparatory to making a formal
opening.

Becent visitors included Adolph
Donart, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Phil-
lip Weil, of the C. C. Pollworth Co.,
Milwaukee; Mrs. Wilfred Dumas, of
Marble, Wash. The last-named former-
ly was Miss Winifred Doyle and a book-
keeper for A. J. Burt for several years.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business for the month of October
shows a big advance over that for the
same month of 1915. Some concerns
report that it was nearly a record-
breaker and those interviewed expressed
great satisfaction over the figures for
the month. Weddings and funerals
used a large quantity of flowers and
counter trade for ordinary events cut
a heavy figure in the totals. The sup-
ply of flowers was at times less than
the demand, and at no time was there
any waste. Prices on high-grade stock
were a little higher than those of last
year. The growers have found a ready
market for their entire cuts, at prices
that left them a profit.

The chrysanthemum is the leading
flower. Some of the varieties now of-
fered are Charles Turner, Bonnaffon,
Chieftain. White Chieftain, Charles Ea-
ger, Crocus, Queen, Ivory and Harvard.
The locally grown supply is about
equal to the demand and few California
mums are coming in. Pompons are of-
fered in great variety and sell well.
Calla lilies and a few easter lilies are
to be had. Bouvardias, violets, mignon-
ette, cyclamen blooms, Cattleya la-
biata flowers, alyssum and a short sup-
ply of valley are the principal small
flowers offered. A fair cut of roses,
including all the leading varieties, and
an increased supply of carnations, swell
the list of fall flowers to a normal point.

The dry spell was broken November
28 after forty-seven days without rain,
and there is unusual activity at the
nurseries in filling orders which accumu-
lated.

A few Lorraine begonias, cyclamens
and potted mums are the flowering
plants displayed.

Halloween is not observed as a flower
event and no increase in business was
Eoted.

Now is the best time to start to sow the ,

WINTER ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS

to follow the Chrysanthemum crop. No other flower will pay better. You will
have fine flowers from January until late in spring. All progressive florists
have abandoned growing the late Spencer and are making now four times as
much money with this early-flowering type, not only for inside but for out-
side planting. If sown in October and November they will bloom two to three
months earlier; if sown outdoors they will bloom three to four weeks earlier
than the late Spencers, producing more and better flowers and keeping the buds
during the most rainy weather. We have a limited quantity of the following
varieties to offer at reduced prices:

PINK AND WHITE ORCHID, WHITE ORCHID, MRS. A. A.
SKACH, ORCHID BEAUTY, rose; LAVENDER ORCHID, lavender
pink; MISS PL. FARING, Yarrawa color. This lot will contain about two
to five per cent of the late hybrids of the same color and for late planting they
are of more value than the re-selected varieties of the same names.

Price: 1 oz.. 50c; 4 ozs., $1.50; 1 lb., $5.00; 10 lbs., $45.00

FLORISTS* WINTER ORCHID- FLOWERING MIXTURE.

This mixture consists of all the leading commercial varieties of pink, rose, white
and lavender, with a very few red and blue.

Price, $4.00 per pound.

GOLD MEDAL MIXTURE.

This is made up of about fifty distinct varieties, evenly balanced to each
color. It contains almost every variety in commerce, including this year's and
next year's novelties, all of the Winter Orchid type only. Last year we sold over
90,000 packets to private gardeners and retail florists. In semi-tropical coun-
tries they have been blooming all winter. In cooler climate, if sown early in
spring they bloom in May, three to four weeks earlier. Florists who keep
a seed counter should have this steadily on hand, ready for their customers.
Sold only in one size packets. Each packet contains suflBcient seed to plant
30 to 40 feet of row.

Prices: 1 pkt., 25c; 100 pkts., $12.00; 1000 pkts., $100.00.

Order now all you need for your winter or outdoor planting, as this lim-
ited quantity may not last long.

The annual report of the president
showed all the affairs of the association
in excellent order and indicated the
practical value of membership in the
organization. Mr. Kruckeberg's report
outlined the work accomplished during
the last year, with a financial state-
ment indicating the flourishing condi-

San Jose was chosen as the place for

as usual, about the middle of October.

McCray Florists
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration_

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

The Florists' Review

NOVBUBEB 9, 1016.

DETROIT, MIOH.

The Maxket.

Another week finds stock piling up
and overshadowing the demand. Amer-
ican Beauties are in good supply and
available in all grades. Other varieties
also are in good supply; in fact, Killar-
ney and Mock roses seem to be in over-
supply. Ophelia, Sunburst, Eeid, Hoosier
Beauty and novelty roses are the
favorites.

Mums are in heavy supply, but the
best varieties clear with little difficulty.
Chrysolora mums are poor and inclined
to drag. Pompons are in good supply,
also the plants. Carnations are arriving
in greater numbers and are of better
quality.

Snapdragons as yet are not plentiful.
Easter lilies are in a slump, having been
outpointed by the mums. In valley and
violets the demand seems to be well
balanced with the receipts.

Various Notes.

Jack Carey has moved into his new
location on Woodward avenue near
Bogg street.

C. L. Going, formerly of St, Johns,
Mich., has entered the employ of Sulli-
van's.

Clifford E. White is moving three
miles north from his present location,
where he specialized in dahlias. He
expects to have a good lot of dahlias
next year, and we hope that the dahlia
growers in this vicinity will have bet-
ter luck next year.

W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, paid "De-
troit a short visit last week. H« re-
ports that business is good at Buffalo
and that he intends to open a ne^ store
on Delaware avenue, Buffalo.

Harry Taylor, of John Breitmeyer's
Sons' Park store, spent November 5 at
his home at Buffalo, H. E. T,

Hanisburg, Pa, — A smart flower store
has been opened here by W, L, Keeney,
who will draw his supply from his range
at New Cumberland.

Lancaster, Pa. — The production of
geranium cuttings has been discontin-
ued by J. P. Siebold, who in the future
will devote his range to growing cut
flowers for the wholesale market, the
only exceptions being mum plants and
mum cuttings.

Springfield, Mo, — J. N. Draper, of the
J. N. Draper & Son Floral Co., and
W. J. Schaffitzel, of the Springfield
Seed Co., have returned from a trip to
Kansas City and Denver, where they
studied greenhouse establishments to
gain new ideas for their range here.

Merry Christmas

' A recent visitor remarked to us: "A scarlet Carnation must produce all first
quality blooms to be satisfactory, because there is little chance to work off culls."
He bought Merry Christmas because he was unable to find a single cull flower
on the whole bench. Come and see for yourself.

December cuttings all sold. Booking orders now for January delivery.. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

The Market.

The supply of stock in the market at
this writing is far in excess of the de-
mand. Mums are almost a glut, and the
bright, warm weather will cut down the
Thanksgiving crop. Roses are plenti-
ful and the quality is good on all va-
rieties with the possible exception of
Killarney. Beauties and Ophelias are
especially fine. Carnations are picking
up both in quality and quantity. A few
home-grown violets are to be seen, but
the bulk of the supply comes from
California.

Some of the growers arc going in
heavily on cyclamens, which are to take
the place of azaleas at Christmas, as
the latter will be a scarce article around
the holidays. So far not a shipment of
azaleas has been received and the pros-
pects for any of the plants are not
encouraging. Funeral work was slack
last week with some of the retailers,
while others have been rushed.

Various Notes.

The Parker Flower Shop had an ex-
ceptionally heavy run on mums last
week. The force has been stepping
lively getting out funeral work.

Carnations and ferns were the two
leading crops at the greenhouses of
George Sorensen.

Henry Peterson has some sweet pea
plants that promise splendid blooms
later on.

A visit to the Charles Ederer range
found the proprietor almost too busy
to talk shop. Last summer he added
several new houses to his range and
planted them to rose plants, which look
fair, considering the fac{ that they were
not benched until late in August. The
carnations and mums grown by Mr.
Ederer are as good as any I have seen.

Owing to the small demand here for
orchids, Hess & Swoboda arc shipping
theirs to the Chicago market. Their
mums and cyclamens are extra fine, as
well as their roses. L. S. H.

Petoskey, Mich.— B. W. Cryderman is
a grower of asters and other flowers in
quantity.

The Florists' Review

NOVEUBBR 9, 1916.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

The Market.

Market conditions have shown a con-
stant improvement during the last fort-
night and are gradnally assuming the
normal, both as regards supply, demand
and prices. Carnations continue a trifle
short, but roses are good stock, and
chrysanthemums, although abundant,
clean up well each day. While fancy
single blooms command a good sale,
there is an increasing demand for the
medium heads and bunches of the small
varieties. Funeral and decorative work
was fairly active last week and a large
number of social functions on the calen-
dar promise well for the future.

Vaxious Notes.

An attractive wedding took place
October 30, when Miss Juliette P.
Hazard was united in marriage to John
A. Macrae, the well known florist of
this city. The ceremony was performed
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton T.
Brownell, on Wood street, which was
profusely decorated with palms, ferns,
chrysanthemums and carnations.

John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., re-
cently was appointed district deputy of
the Florists' Telegraph Delivery for
Massachusetts, Ehode Island and Con-
necticut.

William Blease is erecting a green-
house 20x50 on Newport avenue,
Pawtucket.

William B. Hazard has withdrawn
his name as nominee off the Kepublican
ticket as alderman from the Tenth
ward.

M. J. Leach & Sons, of Pawtucket,
have purchased the greenhouses of
M. Smith, at Rumford, and will remove
them to Pawtucket. The sashes were
purchased by Johnston Bros.

John Marshall, of Centerdale, has
abandoned one of his greenhouses until
February on account of the increased
price of coal.

The Flower Growers' Outlet, 317
Westminster street, celebrated its
third anniversary October 30 by hold-
ing a Halloween sale. W. H. M.

Racine, Wis. — C. Wiedeback has suc-
ceeded John Bourgaise in the business
at 912 Milwaukee avenue, which, will be
operated under tlie name of West Side
Floral Co.

Hutchinson, Kan.— More than 1,000
carnations and mums — one to each per-
son— were distributed as souvenirs by
the Stamni Floral Co. at the formal
opening of its new store.

The Market.

Mums still rule the market. The mid-
season varieties are in their glory,
Chieftain and Ramapo being the favor-
ites. The best carnations can be had
for 2y^ cents each. Violets are of
good quality, l)ut not popular. Yellow
marguerites are in demand.

Various Notes.

Julius, the Florist, reports a busy
week. Plenty of funeral work has
caused flowers to clean up.

Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, has re-
ceived a large shipment of azaleas. Mr.
Murray is the only florist in this vi-
cinity who has received his shipment.

Fred C. Covill liad a most attractive
autumn window last week. The back-
ground was of red oak foliage, on gray
latticework. In the foreground was a
good display of mums and Poston ferns.
Mr. Covill reports a heavy call for
pompons in all the ])0]iular varieties.

William II. Davenport reports a
steady call for ])ot ])lants. Business
has been good with him lately. He has
I)urchasi'd a new Overland touring car.

Richar<l E. Nofft/, of Kempton street,
reports business as being unusually
good. He has some excellent flowers of
Chrysanthemum Mensa.

The New Bedford Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual chrysanthemum
show in the Public Library building

For heating a house 14x40 to 60 de-
grees in zero weather, with hot water,
we would run a 2 ^,4 -inch flow pipe
about two feet below the ridge and
.connect it at the farther end of the
house with six 2-inch returns, placing
two under each bench. To supply the
pipes under the middle bench, a 2-inch
pipe should be dropped down from the
main at the end of the bench. At the
end of the house a 2-inch supply should
be run to each corner of the house, for
the coils under the side benches.

We would give all of the pipes a
slope of about an inch in ten feet, and,
if the expansion tank is connected with
the highest point in the flow pipe, air
valves will not be required. If possi-
ble, we would locate the boiler so that
it will be entirely below the returns.
If it can be in a cellar seven or eight
feet deep, all the better.

The height of the benches should be
determined in some degree by the class
of plants to be grown. As a rule, a
height of twenty-four to thirty inches
answers well, and even a height of
eighteen inches is often used when there
is glass in the side walls. For roses we
would consider eighteen inches suf-
ficient, while for carnations we would
prefer a height of twenty-four inches
from the floor to the bottom of the
bench, and for low bedding or pot plants
thirty inches would be none too high.

The Florists' Review

November 9-, 1916.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Business is good, but not rushing.
Flowers are coming in more freely, but
prices as a rule keep up well, though
not so high as formerly. Chrysanthe-
mums are of exceptionally good quality.
Large pink, yellow and white varieties,
blooms of medium size and pompons are
plentiful. Potted mums are more in
evidence. Eoses are plentiful and of
good quality. Bulbs for fall planting
now are offered by the local florists,
and they are of good quality. There is
considerable wedding work and a fair
quantity of funeral pieces. Counter
trade is good but not brisk.

Various Notes.

Many Essex county florists arc pre-
paring to enter good exhibits at the
Palace ballroom, November 13, 14 and
15.

Henry A. Strobell reports business
good, with considerable funeral and
wedding work.

Hundreds attended last week 's chrys-
anthemum show at the greenhouses in
Branch Brook park. Besides mums,
there were on exhibit tuberoses, be-
gonias, gloxinias, etc. E. B. M.

NEWPORT, R. I.

The auction of the stock of tlie
Thomas Galvin gardens was held No-
vember 2. The sale was for the purpose
of settling the estate and marks the
passing of the oldest florists' establish-
ment at Newport. At the death of
Thomas Galvin the property came into
the hands of his widow and daughters,
and has since been managed for the
heirs by the son, William Galvin, who
operates the nurseries on Harrison ave-
nue, of which he is sole proprietor.
When Mrs. Galvin died the daughters
decided to close up the greenhouse busi-
ness, clear the property and place it
upon the market, it being valuable be-
cause of its central location.

Patrick J. Boyle, head gardener for
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harriman, and
his assistants came close to being laid
low by a .38 caliber bullet a few days
ago. Mr. Boyle and his men were at
work about the place when they were
startled by several bullets passing close
to their heads, coming from the direc-
tion of a pond close to the Harriman
home. The police were notified and
upon investigation discovered two young
men in a canoe blazing away with rifle
and shot gun in a careless manner. They
were taken in charge for violating the
ordinances. One of the bullets was em-
bedded in a post not far from Mr.
Boyle 's head. W. H. M.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

There was a noticeable slump in the
market last week for one or two days,
and it is difficult to trace the cause of
it. The best of all kinds of stock may
be had, and yet there is not the right
kind of enthusiasm back of it, but
the cooler weather is expected to make
a decided difference.

Beauties are in ample supply in all
grades, but they have a tendency to
move rather slowly on account of the
large variety and supply of chrysan-
themums. Other varieties of roses —
Russell, Shawyer, Stanley, Milady,
Ophelia, Ward and Sunburst — are in ex-
cellent condition and sell at moderate
figures.

Mums now are arriving in unlimited
quantities, including the pompons and
singles. William Turner mums are as
large as ever. (Jarnations are improv-
ing and soon will be at their best. They
certainly have improved wonderfully;
fewer short ones arrive each day.

Easter lilies are easily sufficient for
present needs. Valley and orchids also
are plentiful, although at times it is a
little difficult to get an ample supply
of valley. Snapdragons and calendulas
are not prominent just now and there is
no special demand. The sale of violets
is increasing, especially of the singles.
Mexican ivy is available again and the
supply of greens is adequate.

Various Notes.

An artistically arranged window dis-
play of debutante baskets in the latest
designs was to be seen at S. A. Ander-
son 's last week.

In flowering plants pompons and sin-
gles serve satisfactorily. The debutante
season has opened and pompons are
largely used on such occasions. These
affairs have been keeping the staff busy
at W. ,T. Palmer's. This store had the
table decorations at the, Ellicott Club
for the President's and Mrs. Wilson's
banquet. There were nineteen at the
President's table, which was done in
Killarney roses and yellow pompons.
At Mrs. Wilson 's table there were
Noveltonia pompons and Ophelias. The
women wore corsages of Bon Silene
roses and Noveltonia pompons, with
blue ribbon. The President wore a gar-
denia and Mrs. W^ilson a corsage of
orchids and valley.

Buffalo's first annual flower show will
open at the Elmwood Music hall Novem-
ber 11, with an exhibition valued at
many thousands. The south parks' con-
servatory collection alone is estimated
to be worth $.'50,000. Chrysanthemums
are more popular than ever and there
will be a great showing of them. Wil-
liam Donaldson, of the Delaware Park
conservatory, will show his pet plant,
which is eleven feet in diameter and
has 1,045 blooms.

Harold Taylor, of Detroit, was in
town last week to greet some of his
friends.

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

November 9, 19J.6.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

The Market.

The augmented receipts of chrysan-
themums are having a telling effect on
the sale of all other items of cut stock.
There are too many mums at one time.
The warm and clear weather seemed to
bring all of them into flower last week;
varieties scheduled to come on a week
or two later are here, and apparently
there will be few, if any, yellows for
Thanksgiving — even the Fricks are well
advanced.

Stock at the wholesalers' is more than
plenteous and prices have taken a tum-
ble far down the scale. Extra fine
Ophelia, Kussell and Killarney roses ex-
change hands at the prices the buyer
dictates. Carnations are coming back
in larger quantities and show consider-
able improvement. They sell at a fair
price, when one considers the pressure
of the flood of mums. Violets are
wanted and therefore move out satis-
factorily. Pot plants are requisitioned
as soon as they make their appearance.
Greens have shifted to the long side of
the market.

Various Notes.

W. J. Barnes has sold a large num-
ber of mum plants in 6 and 8-inch pots.
He also is responsible for some top-notch
exhibition mums.

Adolph Mohr has practically sold out
all his cut mums — two weeks earlier
than usual.

A visit to C. E. Gray's found the
place in fine shape. For cut flowers
Mr. Gray has a fine lot of sweet peas
and carnations. He has one large house
devoted to tomatoes, and they look like
prize-winners.

A. F. Barbe is cutting a good batch
of Ophelia roses and his carnations are
doing well. His mum crop this year
is the best he has ever had.

The Peterson Floral Co. had one of
the largest decorations of the season
last week, in which it used twelve large
potted mums for one part of the show.

Samuel Murray last week had one of
the best window displays seen for some
time. It contained pot and cut mums
and baskets of mums so arranged that
all the colors blended perfectly.

Fred Fromhold reports that, for a be-
ginner of only two weeks' standing,
business was a surprise to him — far bet-
ter than he ever expected it to be.

Arthur Newell says he cannot get
enough good pot mums to supply the de-
mand. He had a good run of funeral
work and decorations last week.

T. J. Noll says he is overloaded with
cut mums, from the smallest sizes to the
largest. Valley is coming in heavily.

Miss Jennie Murray remains confined
to her home and will not be able to re-
turn to work for another week.

August Luther is cutting some fine
stevias, the first reported this season.
He savs business is good.

The Florists^ Review

NOVEHBBB 9, 1916.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

A slight improvement in business has
been noted since the last report. Con-
sidering all things, business for the
month of October was satisfactory, and
the present month has opened favor-
ably. Little is noticed in the way of
receptions just now and weddings and
funerals, though plentiful, are of the
small kind. The bulb season is in full
swing and fair business is being done
by most of the florists and seedsmen.
Chrysanthemums are quite plentiful
and large blooms are seen. There are
many choice varieties and all sell well.
Among them are Oconto, Pacific Su-
preme, Bounaffon, Chrysolora, Touset,
William Turner and Queen. The va-
riety of pompons is equally large and
the demand for these is good. Fairy
Queen is ever popular, as are Alma
and Minta. Pink and white Ivory are
arriving each day.

The supply of roses is large and the
prices somewhat lower. Some good
long-stemmed Ophelia and Montrose
roses reach us daily and sell well. Eus-
sell, Francis Scott Key, Sunburst,
Hoosier Beauty and Ward roses are
plentiful and sell nicely. Violets are
larger and more fragrant, and conse-
quently are more salable. Carnations
are improving in quality, but the
supply is not overlarge. Orchids are
plentiful but move slowly. Valley
is satisfactory. Bachelor's buttons and
cosmos arrive and are found most use-
ful. Some good cyclamens, primulas
and begonias are in the market and find
ready sales. The supply of green goods
meets all requirements.

Various Notes.

S. Seligman, of the American Bulb
Co., Chicago, called on the trade during
the week.

Schuyler Arnold, of the Crescent Seed
Farm, Spencerport, N. Y., has purchased
a new delivery car.

Art Beyers has left the employ of
J. B. Keller Sons and has left for his
former home at Erie, Pa., to take an
extended rest.

A fine chrysanthemum show now is
on at the Lamberton Conservatories,
Highland park. The exhibition is fully
equal to that made in other years and
includes many new varieties not seen
here before. Neola is possibly the
most striking of the new bush plants
and attracts a deal of attention.

Another step toward beautifying
Rochester is under consideration. A
number of buildings, piles of rock and
debris will be removed along the river
gorge, and with the suggestions of the
park officials, trees and shrubbery will
be planted. Landscape gardening also
will be done around the proposed lake.

Miss M. White is in the employ of
H. E. Wilson. Business with this firm
is good.

Morris Cohen, of New York, was in
town Friday, November 3, and dis-
played a good collection of ribbon sam-
ples. He reports unusually good busi-
ness on this trip. H. J. H.

North Judson, Ind. — Potted plants,
bulbs and cut flowers will be handled
by Deardorff & Deardorff next year.
They already deal in poultry, pet stock,
vegetables, small fruits and honey.
Mrs. Grace Deardorff will take charge
of the flower department and C. E.
Deardorff of the other departments.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Business is improving and during the
last two weeks it greatly exceeded that
of previous weeks. Mums are the
leader, as usual at this date, and they
are of good quality. The supply has
been heavy but within bounds; there
has been no surplus as yet to speak of.
November 4 was a big day for mums on
account of the football game, and from
the_o:^tlook at present there does not
seem much danger of an overflow of
mums in this market.

Beauties are scarce, with the demand
indifferent. Other roses are of fine
quality and are moving nicely, consider-
ing the heavy supply of mums. Carna-
tions are coming in heavily and are be-
ing cleaned up as they come in. They
have been bringing a little more than
usual at this time. Sweet peas are more
plentiful and clear nicely at good prices.
There are some lilies to be had, but it
seems that the demand is rather weak.
Violets are here, but as a rule they are
not extra good.

The valley proposition is a hard one
and it really is not safe to take orders
for sprays. There have been several
disappointments lately and some have
refused to take orders for it. There is
a good demand for bulbs and quite a
call for potted plants, but these have
been in limited supply.

Various Notes.

Sherman Stephens & Son report busi-
,ness good and stock hard to get.

The Livingston Seed Co. says it ia
cleaning up stock closely on account
of the heavy demand.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been
cutting heavily of mums, roses and car-
nations, and has put a new Overland
delivery car into commission.

T. J. Ludwig has been having quite
a run on small baskets filled with mums.

DON'T EXPERIMENT

Any sort of a business or industrial experiment may prove expensive enough, even
if done in a small way. To let the contract for a new Greenhouse to be built of a
wood that is not established as the one best after years and years of trial— that
looks like experimenting on a grand scale.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO TAKE THE RISK?

But with the greenhouse made of Cypress you have a structure that is so sound
and enduring as to remove all thought of experimenting. When you think it all over
— when you come right down to Brass Tacks — there's nothii;ig to it but Cypress
for Greenhouse coAstruction, if you would eliminate the ) element of experiment.

The Horists' Review

NOVKMBEB 9, 1916.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Market.

Business last week was not all that
could be expected, as the campaign
made itself felt in Washington through
the large numbers of people who went
home to vote. It is surprising the ef-
fect that this has had, with the glut
of chrysanthemums which has swept
the market to the detriment of all other
flowers. Eoses have been plentiful and
have met with little sale. Carnations,
which have been improving both as to
quantity and quality, have dropped to
$2 and $1.50 per hundred, although pre-
viously they brought twice that much.

There are a dozen different varieties
of chrysanthemums to be had at almost
the buyer's own price. Among the best
of these are Chieftain and Turner. The
ruling prices seem to have been $8 and
$10 per hundred. Pompons also cut
quite a figure during the week, as they
were offered in quantity at compara-
tively low prices. Orchids, while
not plentiful, are in sufficient sup-
ply to meet all demands. Lily of the
valley is coming in more plentifully and
can be had at $6 per hundred. Sweet
peas are not in sufficient supply to
make any disturbance in the market and
the same may be said of daisies. Cooler
weather is improving the quality of the
double violets and the sale has in-
creased. Easter lilies are less plentiful
than they have been and the price re-
mains stationary at $12.50 per hundred.

Various Notes.

C. E. Brooks, 1527 Fourteenth street,
northwest, is closing up his business
there and occupying his new store across
the s.treet at 1530. The new quarters
are better in many particulars. They
are located on a busier side of the
street, are more light and cheerful and
contain modern improvements. The
store is divided in the center by the
counter and icebox, the balance of the
store being used for making-up, stor-
age and shipping purposes. Mr. Brooks
was located at his former address for
sixteen years and prior to that he spent
two years at 1537 Fourteenth street.
He is looking forward to a greatly in-
creased business at the new stand.

The Studebaker delivery wagon
owned by Theodore Diedrich was quite
badly damaged last week in a collision
with a wagon. The auto was being
driven into town by Ben Diedrich, who
endeavored to pass the wagon. He. did
not see that there were two large, rail-
road tics protruding from the sides of
the wagon and hit these. Fort'"" ately,
Mr. Diedrich himself escaped unir'^ured.

Among the visitors last week wasJohn
Henry Small III, who is . fh,arge
of the landscape department f the
New York store of .1. H. Small v Rons
and who came here with ^Sfrs. '-mall to
visit his father, who looks after the
Washington business. !Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Small, of New York also were
here.

C. E. Jenkins, who for the last two
years lias been manager of the store
operated by C. E. Brooks, in the arcade
at Fourteenth street and Park road,
Northwest, has taken over that busi-
ness. Mr. Jenkins had no previous
knowledge of the florists' business, but
under the tutorage of Mr. Brooks he
has made rapid strides and is doing
nicely in his new undertaking.

Getting Right Down to
Bottom Construction Facts

EVER noticed the design of the
bases used in the big sky-
scrapers? Take a look next
time you are going past one that's
being erected, and you will see that
the post base they use is very much
like the one we use.

It differs mainly in being squat-
tier and made to bolt on top of the
concrete footing, instead of being
bedded in it, as ours is.

This cast-iron post base of ours
has been criticised by other builders
as being needlessly heavy and cum-
bersome.

In comparison with their iron
post, with a little turned-up-toe
kind of a base, it is heavy. But

Hitckiivfifs

NEW YORK OFFICE
1170 Iraariwiy

look at our eave lines, supported by
our steel post and this base, and
then look at the other fellow's and
see whose stays as straight as a
string.

Our flat steel posts are bolted to
the cast-iron base above the grade
line. The columns are also clamped
to the same kind of base and fur-
ther securely secured by a set screw.

This arrangement gives a chance
for adjustment, which is a very im-
pertant point in trueing up the
house when erecting.

For full description of every part
of our Reconstructed Construction,
look in the Supply Book. If you
haven't one, send for one.

much is
your stock
worth?

Your system of ventilating will, in a great measure, determine this
matter. You, as a successful grower, appreciate this fact to a great
extent. You know what a power you control in a really reliable
ventilating system. In the AGMCO you have it— your ideal.

Note the continuous shaft roof ventilating apparatus in the
above illustration. There are two continuous lines of ven-
tilators, one on each side of the ridge, hinged on the ridge
and opening out and UP. The sashes are clamped together
with steel plates, sufficient space being left to allow for
expansion to prevent getting out of line. T>.e rack and pinion
arms are bolted through the bottom rail of the sash close
enough together to lift the whole sash wf at twisting it.

Get acquainted with the AGMCO Ventilating
System— compare it with other makes. It has
been said that comparisons are odious — but
not to the AGMCO. They only prove to the

investigator that the AGMCO is

the one safe ^ventilating system.

PIPE FRAME eREENHOUSES

FURNISHED BY US FOR ZORN & QAi&RTftlER, SAQINAW, MICH.

Here we have a very nice vegetable greenhouse establishment started only a few. years ago and thriving won-
derfully. The owners started with only two 28 feet wide houses, but they looked into the future and arranged mat-
ters so that more houses could easily be added.

These are our standard type of constructiCin vyith the "Bolted Thru the Pipe" fittings used on all supporting
members, This is the construction upon which we received a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT at the Boston Convention,

If you are thinking of building this is a good time to acquaint yourself
with the subject. Better write for estimates and sketches, they are free.

Making the Best of a City Block

An Accomplishment That May Hold a Hint for You

^

TJERE. indeed, is a compact, aUraclive, practical
*• ^ layout. All three of those things it most cer-
tainly is. In brief, two sides of the garden and lawn
are bounded by a line Englijjh-desifin brick wall; tlie
other two sides by the ^'ardeuer's cottage, a glass
show house, the residence, the garage, a grceuliouse
and tlie so-called "garden house," which is really a
work room, with a sleeping room above.

You can well imagine the street-side effect of the
greenhouse— like a big showcase tilled with flowers.

Making the greenhouse serve as a boundary to a
property is nothing new, but it is a thing well worth
keeping in mind.

You have guessed right— both the show and green-
house of this Milwaukee subject are our construction
of Eve'rlasting Lastingness.

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBEB 16, 1916.

Announcing the Advent of

A WATERPROOF FLORISTS' ACCESSORY, manufactured from wood. (Patents allowed and pending.) It
is an all-the- year-round necessity and applicable to every branch of the florists' business. It can be used
outdoors if desired.

We want to tell you something about CREPE-WOOD and how to use it. Right here we suggest that
you cut out this page and tack it on the backroom wall for future references.

HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER BOX

< # Simply unroll around any old box and tack in
position. The appearance of the box may be improved
by tacking on a stained or painted lath, but it is
not necessary. This material is ideal for tulips and
similar plants. Growers and nurserymen can use
this material to advantage.

This illustration shows CREPE-WOOD wrapped m >
around a potted plant. It is not necessary to tie with
a ribbon, as thread or ordinary paper fasteners (at all
stationers) will hold it. An office stapling machine
makes a permanent fastening but is not necessary.

"^^.k

^,•1:

V- .-it

< # This shows baskets and- permanent pot covers
made from CREPE-WOOD with ordinary shears
and a $1.50 office stapling machine. Three Or four
pieces are cut from the roll (like those lying in
picture), and stapled together to form a pot-shaped
covering. Tne handle is then bent and stapled to the
sides and across the bottom, the pot resting on the
bottom of the handle. These baskets can b3 made
by the florist in about one minute.

MAGNOLIA FACTS

QYes, Mr. Florist » be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions.

9Dye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

» in-pnces since the war began,

as hajye also the paper cartons.
In spiie^f this, we are in posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnoha Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

€1 We guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war. and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

CYou fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened . Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

CA macnolta leaf Is only \rortli uslnc If
It has been fully preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when j'ou consider the poor value of these goods.

■^■I^^C^BM M ^^ We are growing the finest Russells arriving in this

say that our Russells are the best to be found.

We cut our flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that
are sold mostly to the city trade are allowed to open more than for the shipping trade.

We have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct from the green-
houses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly fresh stock.
This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

uts the Cost

-opens up new territory

Not only does this Studebaker Delivery
Car at $875 cost less than horses and
wagons in actual expense paid — but it
cuts the cost in another way — ^by getting
NEW business.

The additional speed of this car and its
stamina, its disregard of weather and
distance makes it possible for you to
make deliveries in the suburbs where
now it costs too much, takes too long to
deliver by horses and wagon. This
increased volume on the same expense
represents one of the big economies that
a Studebaker Delivery Car insures you.

Florists all over the country are using Stude-
baker Cars for deliveries, cutting costs, giving
BETTER service. They know that with Stude-
baker's half a century of delivery vehicle experi-
ence back of it, this car is built with a complete
knowledge of the delivery needs. They know
that with the experience of manufacturing more
than 240,000 motor vehicles, this car is simple,
easy to operate, ECONOMICAL and reliable at
all times.

And most important of all, ihey know that it cuts
the cost of deliveries from 2c to 6c per package.
We can give you exact figures on YOUR deli-
very costs and how much this Studebaker will
save YOU. See the Studebaker dealer or write

SEEDLING ROSES i^
RAISED AT RICHMOND

When one expert writes an appreciative description of another ex-
perils work, the account surely is worth reading. When E. G. Hill tries
to heat even his own past record in raising new roses, and when C. II. Totty
reports the results of the Hill experiments, the report deserves attention.

ETURNING from St. Louis
after the meeting of the
National Flower Show
committee, held October
13, I stopped at the estab-
lishment of the E. G. Hill
Co., in Richmond, Ind.
Since it is one of the larg-
est places in that locality
and there is nearly always
something of interest there to show
visitors, I try to call there at least
once every year. This year I was
doubly and trebly rewarded when I
found there a wonderful selection of
seedling roses. Mr. Hill informed me
that about three years ago, before the
stock of Ophelia was distributed at all
in this country, he learned its wonder-
ful value as a forcing rose and decided
to make a great many crosses, with
Ophelia in every case as
the mother plant. A
series of crosses were
made, using as the pollen
parent such standard va-
rieties as Sunburst, Mrs.
Russell, Mrs. Ward, My
Maryland, etc., and a
most Q^reful record was
kept of each cross and
the resulting seedlings.

Watching Results.

Out of about 3,000
seedlings which resulted
from these crosses, forty
varieties were selected
and are now in their sec-
ond year. Some have
propagated better than
others and a total of
about 3,000 plants are
now in flower.

Anyone who is at all
interested in roses would
do well to visit Rich-
mond once or twice this
year, to see how these
seedling roses are pro-
gressing. Personally, I
consider Mr. Hill has
had excellent results.
There is hardly a poor
thing in the forty varie-
ties selected for the sec-
ond year's trial and
some of the types are
simply wonderful; they
will startle the country
if they retain their pres-
ent proclivities. I was
80 interested in them
that I spent an entire

By CHARLES H. TOTTY.

day with Mr. Hill, tramping up and
down the rose houses and studying these
plants. Never before have I seen seed-
ling roses that showed their parentage
so strongly as do these of Mr. Hill's.

Marked with Three Crosses.

For instance, in the case of seedling
No. 627, which I marked with three
crosses, the pollen plant, Killarney Bril-
liant, has left its imprint on the seed-
ling as regards color and it resembles
the pollen parent much more than do
most seedlings, which are usually of de-
cidedly the same type as the mother
parent. I shall be indeed surprised if
No. 627 does not eventually resolve it-
self into a splendid forcing rose for
America. Another cross that shows

Rose Red Rover.

both parents quite well is No. 393,
Shawyer on Ophelia. This has all the
Shawyer earmarks of growth, never
needing pinching; it makes a wonder-
fully long growth without any stopping.
Shawyer, when it does well, is hard to
beat either on the exhibition or com-
mercial dealers' tables. No. 393 would
be well worth more than the single cross
I gave it.

No. 427 seemed to resemble Mock con-
siderably in growth and also somewhat
in color. The fully expanded flower was
a little flat, but otherwise the growth
of the plant was ideal in every way.
No. 467 was a lovely shade of pink, with
a deeper heart. Eventually — after I had
been up and down the rows about a
dozen times — it secured three crosses. It
is interesting to hear the different criti-
cisms offered by the various members
of the Hill family on
their roses. I found
afterward that Mr. Hill
lias set his heart on No.
467 as being perhaps the
best of the entire collec-
tion. Time alone, of
course, will settle this
question.

Almost Ideal.

The best shaped flow-
ers of the entire collec-
tion were on No. 882,
also a three-cross va-
riety in my notebook.
The color ia an espe-
cially delicate shade,
sometimes referred to as
blush pink. It may be
that this variety will
not stand the pressure
when jammed and
pushed around in the
wholesale market, but,
as I saw it blooming, it
certainly was the "pink
of perfection, ' ' with its
high-pointed center.
This struck me as being
an almost ideal rose. I
made this note after it
in my book: "Will it
ship!" I suppose we
shall have to wait and
see.

No. 32, close by, was
growing literally like a
weed. .It has this slight
handicap, that the bud
is separated, or, as some
people say, it "comes
double." Otherwise it

20

would be certain to rank quite high.

The varieties resembling Ophelia in
color, as well as in foliage and stem,
are numerous. No 248, a lovely shade
of cream with a yellow heart, showed
a great deal of character. The indi-
vidual buds may perhaps run too small
to be classed iu the large-flowered sec-
tion, but it certainly should be useful
for corsage bouquets.

Double and White Ophelias.

Nos. 293 and 434 are similar in many
respects to Ophelia. So, also, is' No.
132, in color, but it might be called a
double Ophelia, as it is a gigantic seed-
ling, with foliage and flower about
twice as ^large ^s those of the average
Ophelia. ^Surely this will be a wonder-
ful variety for, outdoor blooming. Other
varieties thatf I thought should be
splendidly adapted for garden blooming
are Nos. 702, 336 and 666. The last-
mentioned is a lovely cream color, quite
full and free. No. 702 will certainly
be a great improvement on Mrs. Ward
as a bedding rose.

The gem of the entire collection is
No. 148, a pure white Ophelia! The
buds when opening are faintly tinged
with green, which always indicates in
any flower a pure white bloom when
fully opened. We have almost prayed
for a white to help us out in the rose
section. Unless all present signs fail,
we have it in this white Ophelia, No.
148, which is the best of the white va-
rieties. There are, in all, five numbers
among the whites, but nothing, in my
humble opinion, to compare with No.
148.

Pink with White Etching.

A variety that will be much noted
later is No. 328, the bud of which is
a lovely shade of pink. Just when it
is in the right condition to cut it seems
to have an etching of white, which
makes the flower stand out as distinc-
tively as though someone had etched it
in a woodcut. No. 1,238 had a beauti-
ful long-pointed bud, white with a yel-
lowish tendency in the center, but the
opened flowers did not reveal enough
petalage, in my opinion, to make this
variety worth while.

Mrs. Eussell crosses are much in evi-
dence. No. 367 shows prominently the
influence of the pollen parent, both in
color and stamina. No. 588 is another
variety that shows the influence of Eus-
sell, but, judging by the crop in sight
when I saw it, it is a much freer
variety.

One Ready for Distribution.

Another splendid variety, and one
that will be distributed this winter, is
a sort of double red Richmond, a much
stronger grower than Eichmond and
having about twice as many petals as
that variety. It has been named, pro-
visionally, Eed Rover. This is not a
Hill seedling, but it is the only new
rose that Mr. Hill will have in quan-
tity to distribute in 1917. It is shown
in the illustration on the preceding
page.

It is impossible to gauge in one day.

or even in one week, such a remarkable
collection as Mr. Hill's, The only en-
tirely satisfactory way to do would be
to go over them every little while and
give each one its degree of merit as
it appeared at those times.

I can only say, I have never in all
my former experience seen anything
that showed such promise as these
seedlings and we have all to take off
our hats to Mr. Hill, as there is no
doubt that the "Old Master" is still
"putting them over."

ing article may be enhanced by the
knowledge that the photographs with

LADY ALICE STANLEY.

The rose plant I am sending you for
identification was received with a num-
ber of Ophelias purchased last spring.
What is the variety? E. W. — Minn.

The variety is Lady Alice Stanley,
a rose which up to the present time has
not been grown for cut flowers to any
great extent. One or two growers in
the east are having good success with
it. When grown properly. Lady Alice
Stanley is a well paying variety, but
so far few seem to have been able to
flower it profitably. W. J. K.

thereto, and the use of antiseptic
washes, do not insure complete isola-
tion of the disease. It is evident, there-
fore, that the difficulty is in removing
all diseased tissues. Since the gall de-
velops promptly in nursery stock, it is
readily detected at the time of trans-
planting, and such infected stock will,
wherever possible, be discarded. Any
injuries to growing trees at or near
the surface of the ground will make
infection easier and consequently care
should be taken in cultivation of or-
chards. The fact that the organisms
persist in the soil for a long time pre-

CROWN GALL ON MILADY.

We are mailing you under separate
cover a Milady rose plant that has a
l)eculiar growth above the roots. This
growth eventually will kill the plant.
We have lost nearly fifty plants in this
same way during the last month and
the growth has continued to appear on
other plants. We have other varieties
in the same house, but only Milady
shows this disease. We would like to
know through The Review what the
trouble is and if there is any remedy
for it. M. F. C— 111.

George L. Peltier, of Urbana, 111.,

vents the growing of plants in infected
soil."

Examine all stunted looking plants
in the bench and remove the gall.
Then if air-slaked lime is applied to the
affected parts and mixed liberally with
the surrounding soil, the disease may-
be kept in check. The trouble is that
the disease has, as a rule, obtained
considerable headway before it is dis-
covered and then it takes some time to
eradicate it. Bulgarie, or Antoine
Rivoire, is subject to the same disease,
while the Killarneys and other roses
seem to be immune. \V. J. K.

ROSE FOLIAGE BURNED.

Please tell us what the trouble is with
our roses. They are losing a lot of foli-
age. Enclosed you will find a few samples
of the leaves. We fed the plants with
tankage twice a month, at the rate of
a 100-pound sack to 300 feet of bench.

J. B.— ni.

Your rose foliage had every appearance
of having been burned. Too heavy an
application of the tankage probably was
responsible for the trouble. The best
and safest food for roses is cow manure.
This is used by practically all the leading
rose growers the country over and I
would suggest that you use it in feeding
your plants hereafter. If you cannot
secure it, try sheep manure, but give
tankage and other such fertilizers a wide
berth. They are good for some crops,
but not for roses. C. W.

ROSE PLANTTS IN COLDFRAMES.

Can tea roses be successfully lifted
from the field in the fall, potted into
4-inch or 5-inch pots and be kept in a
coldframe over winter, to be brought
into bloom in April? Also, what would
be the best size to build frames?

J. P.— O.

, Tea, hybrid tea and hybrid perpetual
roses can all be lifted and potted as
suggested. The latter part of October
is a good time to do this,

A convenient size of sash is 3x6 feet.
These can be bought ready made from
greenhouse builders, dealers in garden

sundries, etc. You can use planks for
framework. Bo sure to allow a pitch
of four to five inches from the back to
the front of the frame.

Plunging the pots in leaves -Will
lessen the probabilities of their being
broken. You could use mats and board
shutters above the sashes. C. W.

CATERPILLARS ON ROSES.

Enclosed you will find some rose
leaves, together with bugs or flies that
have been feeding on the leaves. I
have tried to get something to kill
them, but have failed. Will you kindly
tell me what to use? W. H. G.— Ind.

I failed to find any of the in-
sects on the foliage forwarded. The
pest probably is a caterpillar, and if it
is in virulent form the best plan will
be to spray the foliage with arsenate of
lead at the rate of three pounds to
fifty gallons of water, using a fine
spray nozzle. This is sure to clean out
any leaf-eating pests. It will whiten
and slightly disfigure the foliage for a
short time, but other poisonous sprays
would be liable to scorch the foliage.

HiU's Seedling Rose No. J 32.

For winged insects I would suggest
using a nicotine spray. Arsenate of
lead has been tried and proved ef-
ficacious in cases similar to your own.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Committee Holds Two Meetings.

The executive committee of the
Ame»can Eose Society held two ses-
sions in Horticultural hall, Philadelphia,
during the chrysanthemum show.

President Pennock called the meet-
ing to order at 2:30 p. m., November 8,
and there was a full attendance. Pro-
vision was made to hold the next an-
nual exhibition and rose show in Phila-
delphia next March, in Horticultural
hall. The prizes allotted for the show
were $750 for plants and flowers, $1,000
for rose gardens and $2,000 for cut
flowers. The schedule committee con-
sists of E. Allan Peirce, Waltham,
Mass.; Thomas Roland, Mahant, Mass.,
and J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston, Mass.

A letter was read from .Tohn Young,
secretary of the National Flower Show
com-mittec, inviting the American Rose.
Society to join in an exhibition in St.
Louis in 1918.

Kallen & Lunnemunn, Boskoop, Hol-
land, have sent six separate specimens
of roses for test in the rose test garden,
and it was directed to have these roses
go to Hartford, Conn.

The Evening Session.

At the evening meeting, which was
called at 8:00 p. m., there was an at-
tendance of over fifty. E. Allan Peirce
stated the work of the show, and a
letter was read from the I'hiladelphia
Chamber of Commerce, inviting the
American Rose Society to come to
Philadelphia, "the world's greatest
workshop and convention city," and
promising to give every cooperation for
its success. The following gentlemen
spoke in favor of the exhibition going
to Philadelphia: Messrs. Farenwald,
Eisele, Simpson, Kleinheinz, Bro^n
Mills, Dodge, Cartledge, W. R. PiersonJ
Skidelsky, W. A. Manda and others.

The guarantee fund, as pledged so
far, is $4,565, fifty-one firms and indi-
viduals making up the amount.

WHO SELLS THE LOTUS?

Can you identify the plant from which
the enclosed sample was taken? I
think it is a lotus, but I have not seen
its flowers and therefore am not sure.
Is this plant, which is a splendid sub-
ject for hanging baskets, offered for
sale by anyone? I have been unable to
find anything like it in the catalogues.

W. R. Y.— Kan.

The plant in question is a lotus, prob-
ably L. Bertholetii, though the absence
of a flowed makes it difficult to identify.
The various species of lotus have pea-
shaped flowers, and those of L. Ber-
tholetii are produced in a loose cluster
of several flowers, their color being
crimson, fading to orange. While this
plant is not a new one, I am unable to
say where it can be procured.

FINE SHOW, GOOD MEETING.

The Exhibition.

The tenth annual show of the Illinois
State Florists' Association, at Bloom-
ington, November 9 and 10, was by
general consent the most thoroughly
successful ever held by that organiza-
tion. Even those who were most san-
guine expressed surprise and pleasure
at the splendid manner in which florists
from all parts of the state, as well as
some outside, responded to the invita-
tion to exhibit at Bloomington. Partic-
ularly noteworthy is this fact because
the show was entirely noncompetitive.
Too often have growers felt that it was
not worth their while to exhibit when
this incentive was lacking, forgetting
the advantages which accrue to the
trade through having its products
brought before the people.

The Keign of the Pompon.

That the public is interested in flow-
ers and flower shows where opportunity
is offered to view some 6f the choice
examples of the growers' and retailers'
skill, was again definitely proved by
the large crowds which thronged the
Coliseum during the two days of the
show. And the sight which greeted a
visitor's eyes as he stepped into the
Coliseum was indeed beautiful, not
only en masse and from the standpoint
of the layman, but also as concerns the
character of individual exhibits as seen
through the trained eyes of the florist.
A hall divided into three sections lay
before him. The center section, roped
off with wedding accessories, was re-
served for tables set for dinner, which
were artistically decorated with roses.
The two other sections consisted of
tables carrying miscellaneous exhibits.
Around the sides of the hall were booths
of other exhibitors, including trade dis-
plays.

Among other things the show brought
out is the slow, but nevertheless marked
change which is taking place in the
relative positions of big mums and
pompons. A few jigars ago pompons
were a more or less insignificant factor
in the trade. Today they are rapidly
attaining a position of supreme impor-
tance. The reason is obvious. Pom-
pons are small, neat and' pretty. They
are readily shipped, hold out well, lend
themselves to many uses and fit into a
vase or basket of moderate dimensions.

The Exhibitors.

The following are the exhibitors and
the committee's enumeration of the

The Banquet.

November 9 a banquet was held at
the Bloomington Club and a happier
ending to a successful day could not
have been desired. Many of the guests
brought ladies, which helped to make
the affair even more enjoyable. After
an excellent dinner, C. W. Johnson, pres-
ident of the association, introduced J.
H. Hudson, secretary of the Blooming-
ton Club, who, in behalf of the club and
Bloomington, extended a hearty wel-
come to the guests.

The next speaker was Ernst Wienhoe-
ber, Chicago, who spoke on "The Re-

JOHN COOK.

THIS issue of The Eeview has come into existence just in time to participate
in the celebration of the eighty-third birthday of John Cook, the Baltimore
rosarian. Perhaps some florists scarcely realize how greatly the trade is indebted to
Mr. Cook, for we are prone to receive even the best new roses as we accept the gifts
of nature, without much thought about their origin. But consider the Cook roses.
Here are a few of them: Souvenir of Wootton, Marion Dingee, White Maman
Cochet, Mrs. Eobert Garrett, Admiral Schley, Enchanter, Cardinal, Radiance, My
Maryland, Panama, Francis Scott Key and — well, the next one is somewhere on
the benches where Mr. Cook is still engaged in his wizard-like manipulations. Re-
member, too, that he introduced to America the Marie Louise Violet, and the rosea
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and La France. This business man and wonder-worker
was born at Freiburg, Germany, November 16, 1833. He came to America about
twenty years later, and was employed chiefly as superintendent of large estates for
another twenty years. In 1873 he founded his business at Baltimore, Md.

tail Florist." Mr. Wienhoeber pointed
out that the foundation of the retail
florists' business lies in honest dealing
and reliability. "It is necessary first,"
he said, "to study your customer, to
find out what his particular needs are,
and then to give him your advice and
honest opinion,' telling him what you
tliink would be the right thing to do,
but leaving the decision entirely to the
customer's own judgment. Never make
promises unless you are absolutely cer-
tain that you can keep them, and this
it is always difficult to be, for you are
dependent upon influences beyond your
control. Again, always give your cus-
tomer what he is paying for. Tell him
frankly the quality of the goods which
you have to offer him, so that he may
learn to depend upon you. Never take
advantage of a grower's position. Don't
press him because he is in difficulty,
but on the other hand insist on getting
what you pay for. The people you do
business with, you will find, will treat
you much the, same as you treat the
growers." Mr. Wienhoeber added a
few words of caution to the young man
contemplating going into the florists'
business. He reminded him that it is
not an easy road, that the work is hard
and the hours long, and that it is far
better to stay out if he does not thor-
oughly enjoy the work.

The next speaker was J. C. Vaughan,
Chicago, who stated that the meeting
and exhibition was without doubt one of
the best in the history of the associa-
tion. He paid a tribute to Bloomington
as a leader in floriculture, added
a few words to what had already been
said on honesty and cited Ernsi Wien-
hoeber's success as an example of what
could be done by honest methods. He
advised the trade to keep up publicity
in the papers and to turn its attention
to efficiency methods.

A. G. Hecht, Urbana, HI., gave a talk
on "What the University of Hlinois
Offers a Young Man Entering the Flo-
ists' Business." He contrasted the
Values of practical and theoretical
knowledge and as an example cited the
cases of two young men, one of whom
goes to college and the other to a green-
house where he immediatelv begins
to get practical experience. He pointed
out that the boy who entered the uni-
versity wgs taught those sciences with
which floriculture is closely related,
such as chemistry, botany, entomology,
etc., that he learned how to write good
business lottfra and probably took a
course in public spealdng. The boy who
entered the practical work, however,
had time for study only after hours,
when he was generally too tired. And
thus, at the end of seven years, the
college man, who has a trained mind
and the power to draw conclusions, will
be forging ahead of his brother who
knows only the practical side. He re-
minded the trade, however, that the
college graduate does iiot know everv-
thing and that he reijtlires much help
for the first few years after his gradua-
tion.

Goo. W. .Jacobs, Canton, HI., read the
report of the committee on the exhibi-
tion, after which ,T. F. Ammann, of Ed-
wardsville, HI., secretary of the associa-
tion, spoke of previous meetings.

The conchidinicr speaker was Frank
Washburn, of Bloomington, Til., who
brieflv thanked the florists for coming
to Bloomington and bringing exhibits.
He announced that the next morning

automobiles would be waiting to take
the guests around Bloomington to show
them the city, after which they would
go to his houses and have lunch. There-
upon I. Li. Pillsbury, of Galesburg,
moved that the association extend a
vote of thanks to Mr. Washburn for the
splendid work which he had done in
connection with the show.

Next day, after the auto trip and
luncheon at Washburn's, a party of
thirty-six guests left Bloomington for
Lincoln, 111., where they were shown
through the new GuUett range of houses
which has just been completed.

C. S. A. CLOSES SESSION.

Officers Elected.

At the close of its twenty-eighth an-
nual meeting, held at Philadelphia last
week and reported in The Eeview of
November 9, officers were elected as fol-
lows:

President — William Vert, head gar-
dener at Castle Gould, Port Washing-
ton, N. Y., advanced from the vice-
presidency.

Vice-president — Charles Bause, Cleve-
land, O.

Secretary — Charles W. .Johnson,
Morgan Park, 111., reelected.

Treasurer — John N. May, Summit,
N. J., reelected.

It was decided to hold the twenty-
ninth annual meeting and sixteenth an-
nual exhibition at Cleveland, O., in No-
vember, 1917.

A Splendid Show.

While the exhibits were not especially
numerous, as shown by the list of
awards in last week 's issue of The Ee-
view, the general impression was that
the quality of blooms shown this year
was rather ahead of anything in the
previous records of the society. The
entries were either from the skilled pri-
vate gardeners of the locality, one of
the leaders of whom has been president
of the society for three years, or they
were from the novelty raisers, who

naturally do not show varieties they do
not think will be able to hold a place
in. the race with the sorts now on the
market.

Those Present.

The attendance of out-of-town florists
was increased to a considerable extent
by a special meeting of the executive
committee of the American Rose So-
ciety, held November 8, to approve the
plans for a special rose show at Phila-
delphia in March. The visitors noted

1 FLORAL ART GETS SHOWING AT CHICAGO

(S?1f^t1(rs?)(^t^(^t^i=^trst^rrS?]ri«tit^r^tyi?)iys^

FliOEISTS' CLUB'S NEW STUNT,

Sunday Show in Swell Hotel.

It has been the annual custom of the
Chicago Florists' Club to hold a Nov-
elty night at its November meeting, but
this year the exploitation of the affair
was placed in new hands and the re-
sult was a show primarily for the public,
held Sunday afternoon and evening in
the big ballroom on the nineteenth floor
of a downtown hotel. It was a novelty
in every sense of the word.

The success achieved seems to depend
somewhat on the point of view. The
hall, one of the most beautiful in Chi-
cago, with approximately 6,000 square
feet of space, was well filled; there has
never been anywhere in America so
large a showing of the work of retail
florists. The pictorial effect of the show
was all that could be desired and the
individual exhibits were of a quality
not open to reproach; yet a lady was
heard to remark there was nothing on
view one might not see any day in the
store windows. The attendance of the
public in the afternoon was all that
could be desired, as any larger crowd
would have been uncomfortable, but in
the evening the attendance was much
less than was expected. No admission
was charged and a large number of
neatly printed invitations had been sent
out. The attendance of club members
and others in the trade was less than
had been expected; the growers proved
surprisingly indifferent to the uses the
retailers make of their stock and the
smaller retailers did not seem to ap-
preciate that here was a splendid
chance to get a close-range view of how
the leaders do things.

One of the gratifying features was
the notice the daily papers took of the
show, the next day's editions giving
write-ups that surely will increase the
interest in flowers.

Those who did the work for the club
felt well repaid for their effort and ex-
pressed the opinion that similar shows
could be held three or four times a year
with great advantage to the trade.

The Exhibits.

At the entrance to the hall stood a
huge basket of roses arranged by the
E. Wienhoeber Co. and presented to
Miss Selfridge, a debutante, by the
Florists' Club. At the far end of the
room was a dinner table handsomely
decorated with orchids by Wienhoeber,
for Hotel La Salle. The same decora-
tor also arranged two big baskets of
Mt. Greenwood's new pompons, No.
10-14, golden bronze, and Hilda Can-
ning, bronze, which were among the
finest things in the show.

The display of C. Frauenfclder was
a demonstration of the artistic abilities
of Miss Edna Frauenfclder and was
one of the largest and most costly in
the show. One table was devoted to
bouquets to be worn and included tea
dansant, hand, arm, corsage and bride's,
the latter of valley and white cyclamen
of the Rococo type. A large vase of

Chieftain mum and a big basket of
Ophelia rose were well arranged. A
large basket of mixed mums on a dais
was surrounded by baskets of mums,
roses, blooming and decorative plants,
etc.

George Wienhoeber was the largest
exhibitor, his display being a flower
show in itself, or, better, a demonstra-
tion of the resources of a modern flower
store. In addition to a number of tall
Beauty vases and big baskets on pedes-
tals, all filled with mums, he used nine
tables for the arrangement of smaller
pieces and had a number of decorated
cages of birds and a dozen or so of illu-
minated fountains. One of his feature
displays was labeled the President
basket, but it was so full of flowers
the reporter was not able to determine
whether the receptacle was made in the
form of a turkey or an eagle. It was
shown on a flag-draped pedestal sur-
rounded by baskets of cyclamens. A
specially attractive table was that
showing novelties for the new baby,
cradles and slippers filled with flowers,
the whole surmounted by a stork just
rising from a flower-bordered mirrored
pool. Other tables carried corsage
bouquets, debutante baskets and a large
number of display baskets of roses,
pompons and mums, all excellently ar-
ranged.

A. Lange had a table of corsage bou-
quets surrounding a large hamper of
violets. A bride's muff attracted much
attention. Among the several baskets
of flowers those of Champ Weiland rose
from Peter Reinberg and Carnation
Superb from the Thompson Carnation
Co., won favorable comment, as did a
vase of Lady Alice Stanley rose and
a tall vase of rubrum lilies.

Schiller had four tables as well as
several separate pieces, one of which
was a big basket of French & Salm's
Russell roses, another a combination
plant basket and birdcage decorated
with Ophelia roses, a third a big vase
of Bonnaffon mums. On the tables
were debutante baskets, debutante bou-
quets, corsage bouquets, baskets of
plants, fern dishes filled in a variety of
ways and other examples of Schiller
craftsmanship.

Miss Martha C. Gunterberg, who is a
wholesale florist, has been thinking of
ways to increase the use of flowers and
put up a table of anniversary bouquets
to illustrate her ideas to retailers and
the public. She believes that the de-
mand for flowers would be enormously
increased if every married man could
be caused to remember his wedding an-
niversary and would send his wife a
bouquet appropriate for the occasion.
The display included bouquets for thir-
teen anniversaries, examples being:

First — Pnppf wfidrtlnj;; boiiqwet of white rosos,
one for each year of the lady's ape, with one rod i
rose in center, in paper bouquet holder and with
orope paper shower.

Fifth — Wooden wedding: hoiiqnet of white
roses with five red roses in center, with shower
of raffla tied full of little clothespins.

Twenty-fifth — Silver wedding; silver tinsel
basket with twenty-flve roses, mums, or other
flowers, with silver ribbon trimmings.

L. R. Bohannon, of the Bohannon

Floral Co., won many words of praise
for the decoration of a long table, using
decorated arches trimmed with minia-
ture roses; a wedding party of dolls,
properly flower-equipped, was passing be-
neath the arches. Behind the table was
a sideboard decoration of mums, with
several baskets of pompons and large
mums to complete the pictorial effect.

John Mangel was represented by a
well arranged basket for a debutante,,
using mixed pompons.

W. W. Adams had a prettily ar-
ranged table featuring two large bas-
kets of mums, cat-tails and butterflies,
with numerous smaller debutante bas-
kets and a variety of corsage bouquets.

The Leslie Floral Co. was repre-
sented in the arrangement of the tall
basket of Beauties that adorned the
orchestra's platform.

A tastefully arranged basket of the
popular bronze pompon known locally
as Mrs. F. Beu was staged by O. A. &
L. A. Tonner.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
sent, in addition to other things, speci-
men blooms of James Eraser, Josephine
Foley, Wm. Turner, H. E. Converse,
Mrs. J. Dunne and Wm. Mease chrysan-
themums.

Frank Oechslin staged two groups,
one in the outer room, consisting of
cyclamens, primulas, mums, oranges,
peppers, begonias and ferns, the other
filling a corner of the main hall and
made up of palms, ferns and a vari-
ety of plants with variegated foliage
to give the necessary color.

The Growers' Cut Flower Co., of Red-
wood City, Cal., sent a largo box of
pompon and single varieties. The mixed
flowers were used for a large basket,
but there were quantities of Sport Doris,
a maroon pompon, and Sport Viola, a
darker maroon pompon, for a handsome
vase of each.

A. H. Schneider, of Oak Park, filled
a corner with cyclamens in several col-
ors, representing the newer varieties,
each plant in a basket pot cover.

Vaughan's Greenhouses, Western
Springs, built a bank in one corner of
the room, of chrysanthemum plants,
palms, ferns, etc.

The New Varieties.

There were a number of new roses,
mums and carnations on displav.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
showed Red Ophelia, which is to be in-
troduced as Red Rover, a bright color
and a variety of excellent promise. The
same exhibitor also sent Mrs. C. Ed-
wards, an imported white mum, and two
yellow seedlings for the attention of the
C. S. A. committee. The George Wien-
hoeber exhibits also included a Hill rose
sold in this market as Primrose, labeled
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.

J. E. Yeats, of Champaign, 111., came
to the show with enough blooms of his
new red rose, named Mrs. Yeats, to fill
two vases. He was sounding the grow-
ers preparatory to its dissemination.

The J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.,
JoHet, supplied stock for a tall vase of

<]arnation Superb, flesh pink, which is
to be introduced this season, for &
smaller vase of Superb, a vase of a
good red, No. 143, and for a vase of
mixed seedlings that showed several
promising things.

Anton Then supplied stock for a tall
vase of Carnation Thenanthos, a vari-
ety that has been seen for several years
but never in better shape than this
time.

James Livingstone, of Milwaukee,
sent seedling anemone-flowered mums,

No. 9, yellow, and No. 12, pink and
white.

The Deerfield Nursery, Deerfield, 111.,
show-ed two seedling mums. No. 223,
white of the Garza type, and No. 209,
resembling the Mrs. Sander daisy.

Perhaps half the stock used for the
show was donated by growers and
wholesalers whose names did not appear,
among them being: E. C. Amling Co.,
Meyer & Dramm Co., E. G. Hill Co.,
Wendland & Keimel Co., Alois Frey,
French & Salm, H. Wehrmann, George

Ball, Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago
Flower Growers' Association, Peter
Eeinberg, Wietor Bros., Thompson Car-
nation Co., Bassett & Washburn, J. A.
Budlong and Fritz Bahr.

The show was worked up and ex-
ploited by Fred Lautenschlager, who
also conceived the idea. The staging
was in charge of C. T. Johnson, son of
C. W. Johnson, who was out of town.
They did much hard work and certainly
are to be congratulated on the artistic
success achieved.

THE AUTUMN EXHIBITIONS

NEW YORK HAS TWO, SEVERAL CITIES ONE EACH

AMERICAN INSTITUTE SHOW.

A Quality ExMbitlon.

The annual chrysanthemum show of
the American Institute was held in the
Engineers building. New York, Novem-
ber 8 to 10 and was a wonderful success
from every standpoint.

Wm. Turner mum, as usual at this
season of the year, carried oflE practi-
cally all the honors in white. The
twenty-five blooms staged by Kobt.
Jones, superintendent for Percy Chubb,
Glen Cove, N. Y., were perfect models
of beauty. Other wonderful blooms of
Turner were shown by William Vert,
superintendent for Howard Gould, Port
Washington, N. Y., and also by Ernest
Robinson, superintendent for M. F.
I'lant, Groton, Conn.

Wells' Late Pink was splendidly
shown by Ernest Robinson, William
Vert and Robert Jones in the class call-
ing for twenty-five pink. As shown
at the Institute show, this variety
leaves nothing to be desired in size or
color.

Yellow was chiefly represented by
Mrs. R. C. Pulling, Bob Pulling, Wm.
Rigby and Odessa, all showing enor-
mous size and excellent finish. Mrs.
R. C. Pulling was a bit rough, but its
enormous size will always make it a
much sought for flower for exhibitions.
It is a pity Odessa is not strong enough
in the stem to carry its wonderful flower,
but as shown in the Institute with ar-
tificial supports this handicap was not
BO apparent. Mary Mason as shown by
•Robert Jones would be hard to surpass
in this color.

In the classes for new varieties, Chas.
H. Totty scored first for six white with
Louisa Pockett; six yellow, with Golden
Champion, and six any other color, with
President Everitt. His vase of single
mums, which were practically all new
seedlings, was much admired.

In the class for twenty-four short-
stemmed blooms, C. H. Totty was first
and Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. Y., second.
Mr. Totty showed in this class magnifi-
cent flowers of W. H. Wai<- , Wm. Rig-
by, Golden Champion, H. . Converse,
Mrs. Herbert Stevens and Turner. Scott
Bros, had H. E. Converse, Rose Pockett
and Odessa as their best flowers.

Twenty-four blooms in twenty-four
varieties, private growers only, was
won by Robert Tyson, superintendent

for Mrs. H. McK. Twombly, Convent,
N. J. His finest flowers were Mrs. Gil-
bert Drabble, Nerissa, Mrs. R. H.
Boggs, Pres. Vigor and Mrs. J. Wells.

Novelty Raisers vs. Gardeners.

In the class for twelve blooms Robert
Jones was first and repeated his success
in the class for six blooms. In fact,
Mr. Jones' flowers were distinguished
all through the exhibition by their
splendid finish and size. His Turner,
Wm. Rigby and Converse were note-
worthy examples of cultural skill.

Some twelve exhibitors competed in
the class for ten white, and every ex-
hibitor staged Turner.

Carl Schaeffer, superintendent for
Richard Mortimer, Tuxedo, „N. Y.,
made an earfiibi^ of a dozen varieties
of Japanesd!an«fmones, which created a
sensation. ^SiJe finest of these were
Old Rose, as its name implies, old rose
in color; Yellow Prince, deep bronzy
yellow; Graf von Oriole, rose-pink with
golden points; Wilfreda, pinkish buff
with bronzy center, and H. J. Heinz, a
fine bright yellow. This collection
was awarded a special diploma and was
also scored by the C. S. A., twelve cer-
tificates being awarded them. These
were the center of an admiring group
all day. These are to be distributed to
the trade by Mr. Totty.

The center of the hall was occupied
by two groups, one exhibited by Mr.
Totty and the other by A. N. Pierson,
Inc., Cromwell, Conn. Both were com-
posed of single and hardy mums and

were interesting to the visitors. Mr.
Totty had a vase of Japanese mums,
varieties shown for the first time this
year. They are artistic and novel, a
spidery pink being perhaps the best of
the collection.

In bush plants Geo. Ferguson, super-
intendent for Mrs. Payne Whitney,
Manhasset, N. Y., and G. L. Wilson,
superintendent for C. K. G. Billings,
Oyster Bay, N. Y., were the winners.

Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh,
Md., had a fine collection of pompons.

Howard Gould had a stand of the
new winter-flowering begonias and Rex
begonias that attracted much attention.

Even though it is late for dahlias,
P. W. Popp, superintendent for Mrs.
H. Darlington, Mamaroneck, N. Y.,
showed a remarkable collection which
were particularly fine for this late sea-
son. Another exhibit of dahlias was
that of the Mills Co., which also was
fine.

In the classes for specimen plants,
Peter Duff, superintendent for Mrs. J.
Crosby Brown, Orange, N. J., was first
in several classes. Max Schneider, su-
perintendent for Mrs. Peter Hauck, Jr.,
Orange, N. J., also exhibited in this
class, as did also Fred Hitchman, su-
perintendent for Ralph Pulitzer, Man-
hasset, N. Y.

Fred Hitchman was first in the class
for 100 single violets.

The Roses.

were of high quality. Mr. Totty was
first for twenty-five crimson, with
Hoosier Beauty; twenty-five yellow,
with Gertrude Hale; twenty-five pink,
with Ophelia; twenty-five any other
color, with Francis Scott Key. L. A.
Noe, Madison, N. J., was first for twen-
ty-five American Beauty and twenty-
five white, with White Killarney, and
also was a prize-winner in several other
classes. Wm. Lackay, superintendent
for Daniel Guggenheim, Elberon, N. J.,
exhibited some fine Badiance and
Ophelia. William Vert scored first in
». the white, pink and crimson classes
calling for fifteen blooms each.

In the new roses Mr. Totty exhibited
Lillian Moore, a new yellow; Primrose,
a bronzy yellow; Nellie Parker, an im-
proved Ophelia in color though bearing
no relation to Ophelia. E. G. Hill Co.,
Richmond, Ind., sent a vase of its new
red rose and A. N. Pierson, Inc., showed
Mme. CoUette Martinette and Titiana,
a small deep pink.

Max Schling, New York, was on hand
as usual with an artistic arrangement
of bronze and crimson mums inter-
spersed with autumn foliage.

In the carnation classes Thos. Wilson,
superintendent for Mrs. Erhart, Cedar-
hurst, N. Y.; Robt. Grunert, superintend-
ent for W. E. Beiss, Greenwich, Conn,,
and George Ferguson, were awarded
prizes, Mrs. Ward, Yellow Prince,
Matchless, White Wonder and Beacon
being the principal varieties exhibited.
Charles Stanley, Plainfield, N. J., was
also a large exhibitor in the carnation
classes.

There were five entries in the compe-
tition calling for twelve 'varieties.
Bobert Tyson scored first with a won-
derful collection on black velvet. Jos.
Bobinson, superintendent for Mrs.
Henry A. Coe, Oyster Bay, N. Y., won
second.

In the fruit classes the entries were
numerous and attractive.

Taken altogether the show was a mag-
nificent spectacle and attracted a large
crowd, as the weather was ideal and
the location of the show, at Thirty-ninth
street, convenient to reach from all
quarters of the city.

THE MUSEUM SHOW.

New York's Greatest.

The Horticultural Society of New
York held its annual autumn exhibition
November 9 to 12, at the American
Museum of Natural History, and se-
cured an attendance of over 200,000
people, admission being free. It was
by far the best show ever made by this
society. Last year the total attendance
was 194,024, at that time a record
figure.

As in other years, the great drawing
card of the show was the exhibit of
the immense bush chrysanthemums by
John CanniAg. The best plants were
B, F. Felton, Lady Lydia, Wells' Late
Pink, Eloise Scovell and Greystone.

The crowd was kept moving to the
right and thus all confusion was
avoided. The exhibits filled all avail-
able space on the ground floor of the
immense museum. Albert M a n d a
proved one of the ablest managers the
society has ever had the good fortune
to secure.

The Jplius Roehrs Co. had a beauti-
ful exhibit of greenhouse plants in 100
Tarieties, artistically arranged. C. H.

Big Mum Plants at the Entrance to the Show^ in the Museum.

Totty had a large collection of hardy
and single mums and in Louise Pockett
and Rigby had some of the largest
blooms ever shown.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., had a fine ex-
hibit of single and hardy mums.

The retailers were conspicuous by
their absence and the society seems to
think it unnecessary to secure their at-
tendance^

The Principal Prize-Wlnners.

The greater part of the sehedule-wSTs
open only to non-commercial growers.
The principal exhibitor and prize-win-

AMES, lA.

A disposition of the florists of Iowa
to cooperate with the State College was
manifest by the large number of entries
at the first state flower show, staged at
the college in Ames, November 10 and
11. The number of exhibits and the
character of the material were exceed-
ingly good considering that no plans
were made for the show until about
three weeks ago.

Friday, which was Florists' day,
brought many trade visitors. About
forty-five florists availed themselves of
the opportunity and held a meeting in
the afternbon, which proved to be of
great interest. Dr. I. E. Melhus, of the
college, gave a lecture on plant diseases
of interest to florists.- He was followed
by Roy F. Wilcox, of Council Bhiffs,
who discussed the cost of production in
comparison with present selling prices.
The remainder of the meeting was given
over to a general discussion of terms of
credit, flower show, and plans of in
creasing and educating the trade. Iii
the evening the trade visitors attended
a banquet given by the Horticultural
Club of the college.

Some of the newer carnations shown
were Thenanthos, exhibited by A. L.
Randall Co., Chicago; Akehurst, exhib-
ited by the Schroeder Floral Co., Mil-
waukee; Nebraska, exhibited by C. H.
Frey Co., Lincoln; Bonfire and Rosette,
exhibited by Wietor Bros., Chicago.

Show Marks an Advance.

The second flower show under the aus-
pices of tlie Lancaster County Florists'
Club was held November 9 to 11 at
Lancaster, Pa. The weather was bright
and clear and brought out a large at-
tendance. In quality of stock the show
Avas superior to the one held two years
ago.

Ira H. Landis showed a table on
which were Mrs. Ward, Eureka, Benora
and Mrs. Akehurst carnations, with
which yellow daisies and pompon mums
were used extensively.

Elmer J. Weaver showed vases of
Lemon Queen and Orange Prince calen-
dulas, which were the finest ever grown
in I..ancaster county. His \'ases of mi-
gnonette also were extraordinary.

WORCESTER, MASS.

The annual chrysanthemum show of
the Worcester County Horticultural So-
ciety, which was held November 9 and
10, surpassed any exhibit the society
has had. While most of the exhibitors
and prize-winners were local amateurs,
the trade was well represented.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.,
sent a beautiful display of pompons,
which received a silver medal.

The hall was laid out in a large gar-
den, divided into several smaller ones.
Directly in the center was an old-fash-
ioned garden by H. F. A. Lange, which
had as a center a large gazing bowl.
Four smaller gardens surrounded it,
formed around large bay trees. One of
these gardens consisted of yellow mums,
another of white mums, a third of deep
red mums and the fourth pink mums.

Randall's Flower Shop had a garden
of roses. Double White KiUarney,
Sliawyer, Key and Ophelia were the
roses used, with a backing of cibotiums.

L. C. Midgley had a display of yel-
low mums, from the tiniest pompons to
the largest blooms. Mr. Midgley also
had a large display of singles.

The stage was filled with boxwoods,
bays and evergreens, with a large bunch
of mums as a centerpiece. This was
furnished by H. F. A. Lange.

Frederick B. Madaus exhibited an ex-
tra large bunch of violets, which was
greatly admired.

The table decorations were excellent.
IT. F. A. Lange 's table had as a center-
piece Ophelia roses with valley,^ Four
bud vases were used to good advantage.
Lucy Coulaon's table, which received
second prize, carried a centerpiece of
yellow mums, and boutonnieres and cor-
sages of little yellow button varieties.

The exhibition was in charge of Al-
bert H. Lange, to whom credit should
be given for the artistic arrangement
and the smoothness with which the
show ran. H. L.

the most succeBsful the organization
has yet held. There were forty-six
classes, competition being exclusively
among private gardeners of the neigh-
borhood. The principal prize-winners
were: John Sorosich, gardener to John

PIIII.ADEIJ>HIA.

As reported in last week's Eeview,
the exhibits of the Pennsylvania. Horti-
cultural Society were staged on the
first day of the show. The exhibits for
the prizes of the Chrysanthemum So-
ciety of America arrived on the second
day, November 8, completing the main
portion of the annual fall show in Hor-
ticultural hall. The two exhibitions,
taken together, made a handsome ef-
fect that was highly creditable to the
two societies. The quality of the
C. S. A. exhibits was high, both in
standard varieties and in novelties.

Several exhibits of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society were not in posi-
tion when last week's description was
written. The Eobert Craig Co. dis-
played a fine lot of well colored cro-
tons and ornamental plants. Louis
Burk received the society's gold medal
for his display of eighty named varie-
ties of orchids and a silver medal for
Vanda Sanderiana. The fowl-shaped
boxwoods that were next to, and be-
lieved to be included in, the exhibit of
John Kuhn, of Olney, were from Adolph
MuUer's De Kalb Nurseries, at Norris-
town, Pa. Macaw Bros, had a large
bed of gardenias and crotons, well
grown. John Hobson displayed his
wonderful specimen crotons, of immense
size.

John H. Dodds had a handsome group
of foliage plants and choicest orchids.

William Kleinheinz's winter-flower-
ing begonias in salmon-pink and scar-
let were of exceptional merit.

The Cottage Gardens Co. brought
Carnation Cottage Maid, a lovely
flower.

These are some of the many merito-
rious exhibits, to which must be added
one more — William Robertson's table
of over 100 varieties of hardy pompons.

The vegetables came November 9,
adding, with the goldfish and the ginger
ale exhibit, to the diversity of the ex-
hibitions.

W. F. Therkildson gave another proof
of his happy faculty for exploitation
when he brought the mayor of Philadel-
phia to the show to name the seedling
chrysanthemum that won the C. S. A.
silver cup. The mayor named the vari-
ety Elizabeth Smith, after his little
girl, who is 6 years old. That name
will now be adopted for the champion
seedling of the year by the exhibitor,
the E. G. Hill Co., of Eichmond, Ind.

A. N, Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.,
showed a new yellow rose that took
well and new anemone-flowered mums
from C. H. Totty were a feature. C.
Xi. Seybold, of Wilkes-Barre, sent a dis-
play of cyclamens.

way. The orchid plants were fastened
on cork bark. The delicate colors of
the blooms were enhanced by ferns. A

A CHANCE FOR SELLERS.

Now that so many club meetings and
flower shows are being held in hotels,
salesmen find it to their advantage to
stay at the same hotels, to get rooms
near the "doings" and to spread an
attractive display of their wares. The
conditions of accessibility and privacy
then are right for business and every-
body is happy.

The accompanying illustration shows
how Martin Eeukauf and Stephen
Green, of Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadel-
phia, did it at the Hollenden hotel,
Cleveland, during the show there last
week.

TROUBLE WITH TULIPS.

Will you kindly give me any informa-
tion you can in regard to a condition or
disease which has existed during the
last few years on our tulips, especially
Murillo; in fact, almost entirely on this
variety After the flowers have about
matured they seem to get soft and
spongy in the stem above the first leaf
and droop right over. We have thought
that perhaps they were forced too
much, or that water lodged in the first
leaf, causing the trouble, but from year
to year we have tried to avoid both of
these conditions. However, last year
we Buffered considerable loss. Could it

Murillo does so uniformly well with
everyone that I am somewhat surprised
to learn of your trouble with it. To
have them stocky they must not, of
course, be forced, and must not be al-
lowed to remain in soil or coal ashes
until the growths are more than two or
three inches long. Like all tulips, they
want an ample supply of water at all
times. A common mistake is to water
well after potting, then store the pans
away and practically leave them alone
until wanted for housing. As a matter
of fact, the pans draw away much of
the moisture from the earth, and not
one but several soakings should be
given from the time the bulbs are
placed in the soil until they are re-
moved to the greenhouse. I do not think
the bulbs are at fault; I rather think a
deficiency of water may be responsible.

AVERAGE CROP OF CALENDULAS.

How many crops of flowers can profit-
ably be taken from a calendula plant?

E. B.— Wis.

Calendulas are more or less continu-
ous croppers. If you thin out and dis-
bud the shoots, two good crops of fancy
flowers may be had. If the plants are
allowed to grow and bloom naturally,
they will flower continuously and profit-
ably for four months, provided they are
well treated in regard to stimulants.

COAL SHORTAGE WILL
CLOSE MANY GREENHOUSES

^!M)«vir)fSfiri«Yih«fih«Yir)«tir)«tii^i^i?s?]i^^

TRADE HIT BY FUEL FAMINE.

Some Smaller Places Closing.

Already, before severe weather
makes the need for fuel great, there
are reports that greenhouses are being
closed for the winter because of the ex-
cessive cost of coal and the great diffi-
culty of maintaining a supply.

Apparently the larger places are safe,
at least for the present, as they all
take in a considerable quantity of fuel
during the summer and are in position
to get along for a number of weeks
without further "deliveries on their con-
tracts. But the big growers are on the
anxious seat, the same as the small
country florists, the feeling being one
of much insecurity. "It does not do
a grower much good to have a contract
for coal at a fair fixed price unless he
can get deliveries," said one man who
has 200,000 feet of glass, in discussing
the situation. "We have a month's
supply of coal in the sheds, but deliv-
eries have virtually stopped. The mine
representative tells us he could deliver
the coal if he could get the cars. In
the meantime he has a little free coal of
a different character and much inferior
quality he can let ns have at a price
more than twice that named in our con-
tract." To accept such an offer is vir-
tually to cancel the contract and the
grower is in a quandary.

Big Users Have Support.

Serious as is the problem confronting
the large growers, they will get along.
Their business is so valuable to the peo-
ple who furnish their coal that nothi.ig
but a complete failure of the supply
will stop deliveries; the coal man knows
that if he lets his big gn-enhouse cus-
tomer freeze up he has lost forever a
business worth thousands of dollars a
year and he will give the grower the
coal in preference to anybody else.

The small man, liowovor, Avho buys
from a local yard, getting wagon de-
livery, is in a diffenent position. In the
first place he probably has been split-
ting up his orders among several deal-
ers, so that the business is of no Spe-
cial value to anyone and he can com-
mand no support on that account. He
has no contract and must pay the day's
price. Also, he has on the place no re-
serve supply and must meet the emer-
gency at the moment. With coal more
than double what it was a couple of
months ago, with the mums nearly all
cut, with the place about half empty,
the decision of more than one man has
been to close up one house, two houses,
or the whole place until better times,
or until spring. These reports began
coming in more than a week ago and
seem likely to increase in number as
the weather becomes more severe, for
there seems no prospect that the fuel
famine will be less severe or that prices
will decline to any worthwhile extent.

East Harder Hit than West.

Not only the reports from florists but

the statement of facts in the coal trade
indicate that the east has been harder
hit than the middle west. The in-
creased demand for coal has been large-
ly in the east and it is there, also, that
the freight car situation is most acute.
But these things affect the whole coun-
try. In the cities of the middle west
the West Virginia smokeless coals are
largely used by florists and anything
which increases the eastern demand and
prices or which slows up the car move-
ment is felt immediately at Chicago.
The coal trade insists the big influence
of the week has been the car shortage,
but consumers have difficulty in under-
standing how a shortage of cars could
boost the price of coal at the mine.

The. Prices of Coal.

It is reported by growers and in the
coal trade that the big producers of
smokeless coals have been doing their
best to live up to their contracts, but
that they have not been able to make
deliveries as expected. The big people
are said not to be selling coal to

strangers, but to be delivering their en-
tire supply to those who contracted for
it. The free coal that is being sold to
the highest bidder is said to come from
small producers. Most of the growers
who contracted for coal in the spring
agreed to pay $1.35 per ton at the mines
in West Virginia for Pocahontas or New
Eiver smokeless. In some cases the
price went to $1.50 on deliveries after
a certain autumn date, to conform to
the general "circular." Last week
that same run of mine coal was worth
$4 to $4.50 at the mouth of the mine^
or $6.05 to $6.55 at Chicago. Consider-
ably higher prices have been reported
from the east.

Growers in the middle west who are
located where they do not encounter
smoke regulation usually use one of the '
Indiana or Illinois bituminous coals nor-
mally selling at the mine for $1.35 to
$1.50 on a contract basis. Last week
Franklin county mine run was quoted
nominally at $3.25 to $3.50 at the mine,
or $4.30 to $4.55 at Chicago, but the
principal operators are out of the spot
market. One man said: "We have a
fifty per cent car supply, have sold be-
tween sixty-five and seventy-five per
cent of our rated capacity on contracts,
and hence are from fifteen to twenty-
five per cent behind obligations. In
addition the demand upon us has grown
to 125 per cent of normal if not more."
This means that any one who has any '
free coal can about name his own price.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Preparation of the field for next
spring's planting of carnations should
receive due attention at this time. Plow
the field deeply and work it as finely
as possible with the disk and other har-
rows. To improve the fertility of the
soil, provide a good cover crop; there is
nothing better than crimson clover.
When a good stand of this crop is se-
cured there is virtually no need for
■more fertilizer in the spring, although a
light application of commercial guano
will be a benefit.

It is none too soon to start putting
cuttings in the sand now, so that as
soon as the holiday rush is over and
there is bench room you will have the
young carnation plants to fill in.

Before filling the propagating bench
with clean sand, see that the bench has
been thoroughly washed and has re-
ceived a good coating of hot lime wash.
Then spread a layer of coarse ashes on
the bottom, two inches thick, for drain-
age, and have three to four inches of
sand on top, so that when it is properly
firmed it will be two to three inches
deep. Select the best cuttings from the
flowering stems. These will not require
to be touched by a knife. In inserting
the cuttings in the sand do not try to
see how many you can put in a. given
space, but give them a little breathing
room. Many a promising batch is ruined
by overcrowding.

After a good watering when inserted,
it will depend on the texture of the

sand just how much water will be re-
quired. Sand of a coarse texture will
require much water, while a fine sand
may require only a watering two or
three times a week. A light dewing
with the hose every bright day will
keep the plants in good shape. They
also will require a little shade during
the bright hours of the day, but do
not overdo this. In a night tempera-
ture of 50 to 52 degrees the cuttings
should be rooted sufficiently in four or
five weeks to be potted off. Bottom
heat is not essential to secure a good
strike. L.

AZALEAS IN TilE SOUTH.

Azaleas wanted in bloom for Christ-
mas in the south require at least six
weeks in a night temperature of 60
to 65 degrees, with the possible excep-
tion of Mme. Petrick, which often will
come into bloom one to two weeks
earlier. It is always well to have aza-
leas in flower before the holidays, as
they are easily held in a cool house at
that season of the year. Azaleas seem
to find more favor at Christmas than
at Easter, and it will pay to bear this
fact in mind when bringing them into
bloom for these two occasions. The
varieties suitable for Christmas forcing
are Mme. Petrick, Simon Mardner,
Deutsche Perle, Vervasneana and Ver-
vajneana alba.

Left-over plants can be carried
througli the summer by plunging them
in a frame in a lath house, or by plac-

ing them under a glass sash protection.
It may sound ridiculous, but I have had
better results in summering them under
glass than in any other way. In the
extreme southern states it does not pay

to try to hold them over. In July and
August they will begin to throw scat-
tering flowers, so that when the time
arrives when they should be forced the
flowers are gone. In these states it is

also impossible to hold the plants for
Easter, unless on an extra early date,
and to have an evenly flowered plant
some fire heat is necessary to push them
a little. L.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

TWO POINTS OF VIEW.

There is an old saying to the efifect
that it takes quite a variety of people
to make a world, so we should not mar-
vel at some divergencies in views. For
instance, here is what an editorial
writer on the Detroit Times thought of
Hugo Schroeter's Halloween window;

These Autumn Leaves, So Arranged,' Spell Truth,

Most of us cannot get into the October woods,
feel the dried leaves beneath our feet, breathe
the pungent air, with a slight edge of frost in
It, and look through the haze in a clearing
toward the dreamy horizon.

Moat of us are grinding out matters of small
moment individually, but tremendously big in
the aggregate, in order to keep our form of
civilization in the grooves into which we have
fitted it.

There is n window of a florist on Woodward
avenue which gives one a feeling that wlioever
arranged it must have had the same longing for
a touch of the autumn woods as many of us
have.

The background is a little clump of birch
trees, shining white and silvery against a gray
setting; there is a bitter-sweet in the fore-
ground and gray moss on the ground.

No vestige of the florists' trade is in this
window to mar the harmony of the little scene;
no bunches of rosps or hothouse lilies break the
serene beauty of this sylvan bit of art.

Whoever did it was full of a desire for truth,
a desire greater than his wish to sell his wares,
or perhaps he had made the great discovery
that the very fact that he made no attempt at
advertising his flowers would attract more peo-
ple than if he had spoiled his effect with baskets
of various shapes and sizes tied with huge rib-
bons and filled with gorgeous blossoms.

Whoever this artist may be, we congratulate
him twice. First for his artistic skill and sec-
ond for his ability to divorce himself, for tlie
time being, from the mercenary point of view
held by the majority.

"The mercenary view held by the
majority" is a hot shot; a hot shot be-
cause it strikes home; the shoe fits; we
put it on; we must be mercenary. Por
we are obsessed with the idea that a
florist's window might as well be empty
as devoid of flowers.

What is the purpose of a window dec-
oration in a flower store? Is it to edify
some poor wight pining for his native
woods? No, verily, its purpose only is
to sell him flowers; we have no woods
for sale.

The average florist falls down utterly
on his window decoration. He makes a
pretty picture, but he completely wastes
its sales force. The Greek, who makes
no pretense of art, actually is the bet-
ter merchant, for he puts a price ticket
on the roses in the window — he may
not draw an editorial in a paper that
can't mention his name because that
would be giving him an ad, but he
draws the money out of the pocket of
the man who wants -the roses at the
price.

Not that every florist should put price
tickets on the stock in his windows —
far be it from such — but the man whose
mercenary nature causes him to mix a
little merchandising matter with his
art will sell a lot more flowers than
will the man whose art is pure and un-
defiled by contact with the commercial.

PENN'S APPEAL TO SENTIMENT.

There are only a few florists who can
combine sentiment with the merchan-
dising of flowers. In a majority of
cases either the appeal is wholly to the
appreciation of art or wholly to the
appreciation of price; in only rare in-
stances is the appeal to sentiment and
it is still more rare that the appeal to
sentiment is made in such a way that
it has a sales value. Penn, of Boston,
who for some years has advertised flow-
ers more extensively than anyone else,
presents an unusual contrast in his pub-
licity. Some of his advertising is of
the department store type, offering spe-
cial values and low prices, but occa-
sionally an advertisement appears that
makes an adroit appeal to sentiment,
such as the one reproduced herewith.
Such advertising might well be handled
on the cooperative basis, paid for by
subscription and published without sig-
nature, for it is well calculated to in-

crease the number of flower buyers in
the community.

HOLLYWOOD'S CHEF D'OEUVRE.

No wedding out of an Italian ro-
mance could have had a more profuse
and more artistic floral setting than that
furnished by the Hollywood Gardens, of
Seattle, Wash., for the fashionable
Stimson- Moore nuptials last month. The
Pacific coast boasts some of the deftest
and most clever decorators in the busi-
ness, and as time rolls on it may be-
come necessary for the east-coasters to
look sharply to their achievements:

The illustration on page 35 clearly
shows the Hollywood Gardens decora-
tion in the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, at Seattle. In the estimation
of decorators, social veterans and grand
dames, the completed work eclipsed
anything of its kind ever seen along
the Pacific coast line. The effect as a
whole may seem a trifle crowded, but

11

HE pretty sentiment
which accompanies a
gift of flowers — admiration,
love, tender regard — these
things make a flower as greatly
prized as a jewel.

^ So take even a single rose
home to some dear one, not for
its intrinsic value, but for your
inner feelings which it manifests.

Cornucopia Centerpiece by Max Schling for a Thanksgiving Table.

this probably is an illusion, due to the
limitations of the photographic lens in
the matter of perspectives.

More than 6,000 chrysanthemums, in
white, with a carload of southern smi-
lax, augmented by tropical palms and
wild orange foliage, were used with
lavish and skilled hands. Every cir-
cumstance that wealth and good taste
could devise was there. First the edi-
fice was calcimined in harmonizing
tones and the walls redecorated. Then
a network of smilax was put over the
high ceiling. Strands of the soft green-
ery hung at graduated lengths around
the sides of the church, graced the
altars and were festooned in most ef-
fective places. Wall pockets of im-
mense white chrysanthemums, with
greens, were placed at intervals about
the walls. Over each stained glass win-
dow were arrangements of broad palm
leaves.

Down the center aisle, through which
the bridal party passed, at every fourth
seat, was a standard eight feet in
height, topped with a cone-shaped white
basket which held great clusters of
chrysanthemums, and trailing greens.
The seats reserved for the relatives
were ornamented with bunches of chrys-
anthemums tied with broad wliite silk
ribbons. The otlier aisles of the church
were in similar array.

The altars were in white and gold.
There were great clusters of the blooms,
while trailing greens fell over the white
marble, and the altar y)roper, covered
in rich gold lace, held tall brass 7-
branched candlesticks, which were ar-
ranged in graduated effect and held
lighted tapers. The chancel railing was
especially effective, 1)eing entirely cov-
ered with chrysanthemums, soft greens
and lilies of the valley.

MAX SCHLING 'S CENTERPIECES.

As Thanksgiving again approaches,
florists who anticipate calls for similar
work will be interested in the Thanks-
giving dinner table centerpieces of that
noted exponent of floral art, Max
Schling, of New York, which appear in
the illustrations on this page. One,
which was used at a large Thanksgiv-
ing day dinner, represented a cornu-
copia, or horn of plenty, out of which

empty flowers, fruit and a pumpkin.

The pumpkin is cut in basket shape to

hold the fruit. The flowers used are

chiefly chrysanthemums.

The other was of a style of which
eighty-three decorated Thanksgiving
dinner tables. The centerpiece repre-
sented is the simplest of the lot, repro-
duced because it shows most clearly the
construction and components. A basket
made of a pumpkin was filled with fruit
and decorated with flowers, autumn
coloring being employed throughout.

AMERICAN SWEET PEA SOCIETY.

Meeting of Executive Committee.

A meeting of the executive commit-
tee of the American Sweet Pea Society
was held at the Hotel Breslin, New
York, November 10. President Geo. W.
Kerr was in the chair. The others
present were: Harry A. Bunyard,
secretary; William Sim, treasurer; J.
Harrison Dick, William Gray, Edward
Jenkins and W. A. Sperling.

A report was received from Geo. W.
Kerr and W. A. Sperling, who were ap-
pointed an auditing committee at the
annual meeting last July. They report-
ed the books in good order, with a bal-
ance of $147 in cash on hand and all
expenses and bills paid. Their report
as set out in the following paragraph
was accepted and they were discharged
with thanks.

John Stalford, Bar Harbor, Me., who
between them had procured subscrip-
tions for a special fund, amounting to
$276; Mr. Totty having obtained $160
and Mr. Stalford $116. It was through
their efforts that the society's finances
were put on a sound basis at this time.

Plans for the Future.

It was proposed that all members
whose dues were three years in arrears
be dropped. An urgent letter of appeal
will be sent to those ' who are delin-
quent, asking them to pay their dues.
There are seventy-five members in good
standing at the present time, and ten
life members.

A long general discussion took place
in regard to ways and means of assist-
ing the society and enlarging its mem-
bership. It was eventually resolved
that some publication, to be called a
bulletin, be prepared containing useful

forth, this to be published together with
the schedule early in January. Adver-
tisements will be solicited to help pay
the cost of the bulletin. The schedule,
with minor alterations, it is hoped, will
be on the same lines as that of last
year.

Edward Jenkins proposed that the
next show be held in Boston, Mass., the
date being the first Saturday after July
4. William Gray seconded, and it was
agreed to.

William Sim was appointed a commit-
tee of one to interview the trustees of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
with a view to obtaining a guarantee
from that society of assistance toward
the prize fund for the show.

An invitation to meet with them had
been received from the officers who are
arranging for the National Flower
Show at St. Louis in 1918, and who are
offering $250 as prizes for sweet peas.
It was resolved to suggest that this
sum be at least doubled, since few
growers, it "as thought, would be in-
duced to send displays unless liberal
prizes were offered.

General satisfaction was expressed at
the prospects before the society, and it
is hoped that a successful year lies
ahead. Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y.

SCRANTON* CLUB BANQUET.

Members Want It Every Year.

The first annual banquet of the
Scrantoij Florists' Club was held No-
vember 6 at the Hotel Holland. There
were abput thirty in attendance, and
from a social standpoint the banquet
was the finest affair the club ever held.
It was voted to make the banquet an
annual event.

, President W. Eay MacDonald was
toastmaster. He welcomed the guests
on behalf of the club and spoke on
the welfare of the club. Secretary T.
B. McClintock reviewed the work of
the club since its organization eleven
years ago. He said that the club was
in a flourishing condition, with eighty-
five members in good standing, and
that next year he hoped the member-
ship would be doubled. Anton Schul-
theis spoke on organizing a growers'
association, saying that such a body
would help to keep the trade with the
florists instead of with the 10-cent
stores.

J. W. Beagle spoke on the sale of
plants and flowers other than by flo-
rists. He said it was a bad thing for
the business to put flowers in meat
shops, grocery stores, etc. Other speak-
ers were C. W. Baldwin, F. J. Moran
and T. .T. Nolan, of the King Construc-
tion Co.

Those Who Feasted.

The banquet room was decorated in
an attractive manner with palms, ferns,
oak foliage and chrysanthemums. On
the tables were Japanese bowls filled
with pompon mums. The decorations
were by the Misses Schultheis, Besan-
con and Mrs. T. B, McClintock.

Those in attendance were:

Mr. and Mrs. T. B. McClintock.

Mr. ami Mrs. William MacDonald. Moosic.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Wade. Carbondale.

The Market.

Why doesn't the market advance? Tt
is high time. November 11 opened en-
couragingly and the buyers were nu-
merous, but prices sagged steadily as
the day wore on and the iceboxes and
cellars were crowded with the surplus.

The big shipments of chrysanthe-
mums surely must diminish before this
week is over. The early mums were too
early; the late varieties are believed
to equalize the season's estimates and
give the growers "a run for their
money." The street is full of pompons,
singles and anemones. The best mums
November 11 did not sell above $2 per
dozen.

The demand for orchids seems to be
growing. Select cattleyas have touched
50 cents, but there are few of these.
From 25 to 40 cents is a fair average.
Violets now are more appreciated.
Choice grades bring 50 cents and up.

Narcissi are here but not as yet in any
quantity. Sweet peas are improving
(iaily. Of bouvardias and calendulas
there is a sufficiency. Asparagus ar-
rives from all directions and is handled
even by the supply houses. Autumn
foliage is at its best and immense
quantities are used by the retailers.
Valley is strong, $6 per hundred being
the top price with most of the whole-
salers, though occasional slips show that
$8 is being paid. Plenty of short-
stemmed valley sold at $3 and under.
Few gardenias are seen. There are too
many lilies, as the top price of 4 cents
each indicates.

From $2 per hundred down is the
general quotation on carnations. Of
the rose supply there is little to be add-
ed to last week's comments. Shipments
continue large; quality shows steady
improvement; demand is far below ex-
pectations, so the surplus brings low
figures in thousand lots. All grades
seemed to share in the sacrifice of the
weekly house-cleaning. A few select
American Beauties sold at 30 cents No-

vember 11, and so did the large-budded
Hadleys. The best of the other vari-
eties were slightly stronger, the quality
of Killarney Brilliant, Mock, Russell,
Ophelia, Shawyer, Prima Donna, Sun-
burst and ;Mrs. Ward being exception-
ally good.

Club Meeting.

About 150 attended the Florists'
Club's ladies' night November 13 and
the affair was a great success. The
ballroom was handsomely decorated and
an excellent supper was served at 10
0 'clock, dancing continuing until after
midnight, with a fine orchestra and pro-
fessional vaudeville entertainment.

During the regular business session,
E. Allan Peirce and Julius Winkler were
elected to membership, and applications
were read from C. L. Tricker and H. H.
Dreyer. Chairman Weathered, of the
exhibition committee, reported progress,
and Secretary Young reported receipt
of $856 from F. W. Newbold of the
Horticultural Society. Mr. Vick, for
the Sun, offered a silver cup for compe-
tition at the spring flower show.

Chairman Sheridan read the names
suggested by the nominating committee
for the various offices for 1917, as
follows:

For president — H. Weston, Charles
Sehenck, F. R. Pierson, Thos. Booths
de Forest.

F<(r vice-president — J. H. Fiesser,
Max Schling, P. W. Popp, W. G. Badg-
ley.

For secretary — John Young, J, H.
Dick, M. C. Ebel.

For treasurer — ^W. C. Eickards, Wal-
lace B. Pierson, James McHutchison.

For trustees — R. J. Irwin, Christian
Madsen, John Canning, A. Kottmiller,
C. H. Brown, Victor Dorval.

Mr. Dick withdrew his name for the
oflSce of secretary. A letter signed by
many members, asking that the name of
G. E. M. Stumpp be added to the nom-
inations for president, was accepted and
his name added to the list of proposals.

The exhibits included Narcissus Soleil
d'Or, from P. W. Popp; anemone and
single mums, from Frank Dinda, and
several vases of excellent sweet peas,
staged by Guttman & Raynor. Cultural
certificates were awarded in each case.

Various Notes.

These are golden days for the florists '
supply houses. Shipments out of town
are increasing, the local demand is enor-
mous and big orders are already booked
for Christmas.

Joseph S. Fenrich is fortunate in
having shipments of C. H. Totty's many
novelties, G. T. Schuneman's orchid
sweet peas, J. Dean's mums and
roses and Miesem 's large supply of
longiflorum lilies. The big store is
crowded with buyers every morning.

Distinguished visitors last week were
many, among them being President
Kerr, of the Si A. F.; R. Vincent,
Jr., of Maryland, and William Sim and
G. L. Stillman, of New England.

Last week John Weir, who was the
leading retail florist of Brooklyn for
nearly half a century, celebrated his
three score and eleven years. He ia
hale and hearty enough to be the lead-
ing buyer in the wholesale section of
the trade.

The poultry department of the Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co. is now complete
and under eflScient management.

The Barclay Nursery Co., 60 Barclay
street, has been successful this season
in disposing of its large bulb importa-
tions.

The windows of the Stumpp & Walter

NOTICE!

To Subscribers whose address labels carry an
expiration number higher than 995 (Dec. 21. 1916).

EVERY florist knows through his own purchases what has happened
in the paper market the last few months — prices have doubled all
along the line.

And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so kind as to write that The Review is
worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the
tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to
sell The Review at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1,
1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for one
or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1,
1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that
such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present
date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present
date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they
are mailed by December 31. 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.60 a year beginning January 1, 1917. Can-
adian renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

Evansville, Ind. — The Expanded Wood
Co., a branch of the Evansville Veneer
Co., has started to manufacture crepe
wood, the invention of E. J. Moore, an
oflicer of the company. This is a flexi-
ble wood, about a twenty-eighth of an
inch in thickness and of various widths.
It comes in a long roll, similar to a
roll of crepe paper, and will withstand
water. In manufacturing it green logs,
free from knots and other imperfec-
tions, are cut up into sheets of wood,
six feet in width, on a rotary lathe.
These sheets are then sewed on a ma-
chine, the sewing adding to the flexi-
bility of the wood. After this the
sheets are cut by automatic knives to
the desired length and colored.

OBITUARY

Fred W. Vick.

It is with regret that I record the
death of Pred W. Vick, which occurred
at* the Viek family residence on Ridge-
way avenue, Kochester, N. Y., Sunday,
November 12, after a long and painful
illness. The deceased, who was 59 years
of age, was a life-long grower and flo-
rist. In the year 1874 he left school
and went to work for James Vick, his
father, who at that time was foreman
of the well known seed house, which
had trial grounds on the south side of
East avenue. A few years later Fred
Vick became leading partner in the firm
of Vick & Hill Co., extensive growers
at Barnard's Crossing, near Rochester.
Three years ago last June the deceased
commenced business for himself and
from that time on until seized with sick-
ness he was a most successful grower.

Mr. Vick was the first president of
the Rochester Florists' Association, an
oflSce he held for three consecutive
years, 'and he also served as vice-presi-
dent of the S. A. F. For several years
he was a member of the Fifty-fourth

Besides his wife, Etta Butler Vick,
he is survived by two daughters, Mrs.
W. J. Mate and Miss Jane (L. Vick;
two sons, Albert F. Vick, manager of
a Pittsburgh wholesale cut flower house,
and Fred G. Vick; one brother, H. Vick.

The funeral was held November 15,
the pallbearers being John Dunbar,
George B. Hart, E. P. Wilson, Charles
H. Vick, Thomas J. Ewart and A. H.
Salter.

The Rochester Florists' Association,
which held its monthly meeting Novem-
ber 13, adopted appropriate resolutions
of sympathy. H. J. H.

"While examining rose houses with
his son on the morning of November
10, Thomas C. Joy, of Nashville, Tenn.,
head of the Joy Floral Co. and one
of the leading florists of the south, suc-
cumbed to a sudden attack of heart
failure. He was 54 years of age. Prior
to his death, Mr. Joy was in the best
of health and had never suffered an
attack.

The deceased was born at Godrich,
Ontario, Canada, and moved with his
father to Nashville in 1878, where they
started a flower and market gardening
business, the latter then being the most
important branch of the business. The

regimental band and was widely known
in musical circles.

Mr. Vick was a man of good business
principles and high ideals — a man well
liked and respected by all who came
in contact with him. During his pain-
ful illness he put up a hard fight to live
and it was wonderful to see how brave-
ly he fought.

enterprise grew steadily from two
small houses until it now ranks as one
of the largest in the entire south. The
business makes use of more than 250,-
000 feet of glass, besides forty acres
of land, numerous hotbeds and lath
houses. Practically the entire output is
required by the retail department.
Mr. Joy was closely affiliated with

the state association of florists, as well
as with other florists' organizations.
He was a member of the Episcopal
church and had believed in that faith
for many years. He gave liberally of
his time and means to all worthy
causes. His home circle was a most
happy one, his sons and daughters form-
ing close associations and regarding
their father as counselor, friend and
comrade.

Mr. Joy was united in marriage in
1887 to Miss Susie McAllister, of Nash-
ville, and to the union the ' following
children were born, all of whom, with
the wife and mother, survive: Misses
Nellie, Lillian, Marion, Ruth and Susie, .
Thomas H., Harold M. and Edwin. Mr.
Joy's father, T. S. Joy, and four sis-
ters, Mrs. C. B. Harrison, Mrs. J. Frank
Horn, Mrs. Paul Sloan, of Nashville,
and Mrs. John T, Glenn, of Spartan-
burg, S. C, also survive.

Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon, November 12, and were at-
tended by a large number of people.

The business will be carried on by
the sons. Harold M. has been trained
as a grower and Thomas H. will man-
age the store, as formerly. The grand-
father, T. S. Joy, who is as hale and
active as a boy, will lend needed coun-
sel wnen occasion calls.

William T. Gtood.

William :^ T. Good, for many years
identified with the retail florists' trade
of Boston, was struck by an automobile
November 7 and died in the hospital
from a fractured skull the following
day. The dececiBi^ was in business on
his own account on two occasions and
had worked for the late W. E. Doyle,
T. F. Galvin and Hoffman, being with
the latter when he met his death. He
was 55 years of age. The deceased was
a former member of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club of Boston and was well
and favorably known in the retail
trade. At the funeral November 10
there was a good representation of the
retail trade and the floral tributes were
numerous. W. N. C.

W. H. Donohue.

W. H. Donohue, of New York, died
suddenly November 15. He was 28
years of age, the son of Fred Donohue,
who has been in the florists' business in
New York for forty years. The young
man was formerly in business at 2 West
Twenty-eighth street, and with Hoff-
man, at Boston. He leaves a widow.

J. A. S.

EOCHESTER, N. Y.

The Maxket.

Decidedly poor business prevailed the
greater part of last week, but Saturday
brought things around to normal and
a fair quantity of stock was disposed
of. Throughout the week there was lit-
tle else but counter trade. Funeral
work was slow and social affairs during
election week were few; the absence
of these, combined with the general
run of business, accounted for the
slump. The quantity of stock on the
market compares favorably with that
of previous years. There is a good sup-
ply of all kinds of seasonable stock,
chrysanthemums being the main fea-
ture. A good supply of Major Bon-
naffon reaches us daily and these sell
easily. Some fine William Turner mums
also are seen. Oconto, Supreme, Touset,

Ivory, Chieftain, Eager, etc., are plen-
tiful. Some of the florists here are
using a pink dye on the white varieties
and find that the flowers then sell well.
A good quantity of pompons moves sat-
isfactorily. Some single varieties, such
as Garza and Mrs. Buckingham, sell
fast.

The new carnations are arriving in
good quantities and are fair as to size
and color. The demand for them is
good. Roses are plentiful and their
quality is improving. Violets are of
good color and size and now sell more
easily. Valley meets all demands. Or-
chids move slowly. Single and double
bouvardias are good, but the demand
is not large. Easter lilies are improv-
ing in size and quality and sell well.
The supply of ferns and green goods
meets all present demands. Galax and
leucothoe are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Visitors to the trade last week in-
cluded G. E. Walker, of the Susque-
hanna Cut Glass Co., Columbia, Pa.;
Eobert Greenlaw, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., Philadelphia; Louis
Hanfling, of Russin & Hanfling, New

W. Myrl, of the Allen Nursery Co.,
of this city, has left for Cleveland,
where he will become manager of a
new branch office of the company
opened there.

Fred F. Fogarty paid a flying trip
to Buffalo November 10.

Harry Merritt, of Irondequoit, N. Y.,
is cutting a large quantity of White

Wonder carnations. His Delight car-
nations also are in splendid condition,
with good, strong and lengthy stems.

H. E. Wilson and the Rochester
Floral Co. are getting a good deal of
publicity at this time. Novel street
car advertisements are attracting de-
sirable attention.

E. R. Fry, of West Main street, is
doing a good business. He has been
running a chrysanthemum special for
about a week, at $1 per dozen. Being
so closely located to the hospitals, he
receives much transient trade.

Beautiful baskets^ of assorted pom-
pons, with large baskets of white and

yellow mums, made a handsome window
decoration at the J. B. Keller Sons
store last week. They have just re-
ceived "via Rotterdam," by the S. S.
Noordam, twenty-two cases of plants.
James Vick's Sons report a satisfac-
tory business at their retail store on
Stone street. They have experienced
an unusually good season in bulbs, in
which they have a large mail-order busi-
ness. H. J. H.

After a long and painful illness, Fred

Wichita, Kan., has experienced
another success in its annual wheat ex-
position. Charles P. Mueller made fine
displays at his two stores, and J. H.

equally attractive showing.

J. A. Tapscott & Bro., of Owensboro,
Ky., and the Morgan Floral Co., of Hen-
derson, Ky., each report good business.
They are growing some fine chrysanthe-
mums, but buy considerable stock.

The C, A. Dahl Co., of Atlanta, Ga.,
is making fine displays in its handsome
store. Mr. Dahl returned from the
F. T. D. meeting greatly pleased with
his trip.

Niednagel & Sons and the Blackman

ing showy displays in their downtown
stores. The Randall Co. electric foun-
tain in the Blackman store shows up
brilliantly at night. William Blackman
mentioned that the whole force was
busy from Saturday morning until Sun-
day noon, with about one hour's rest,
on the funeral work and All Souls'
day business.

Louisville, Ky., is in a "satisfactory
condition floriculturally, " according to
George Schulz, of the Schulz Flower
Shop, who says that the yearly balance
was struck November 1 and shows the
best year on record. Funeral work is
considered spasmodic and placed in a
special class. W. M.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Cleveland already is planning a big
fall show for 1917 and has set the dates
as November 6 to 11.

Apparently the debutante bouquet has
given place to the debutante basket of
cut flowers. The change at least makes
the gifts more useful to the recipient.

The Godfrey calla is gaining in popu-
larity steadily, as growers learn the
method of handling it, and promises prac-
tically to displace the old ^thiopica for
cut flower purposes.

While early November has seen a
slump in nearly all the important whole-
sale cut flower market's, this has not been
the case with the retail trade in the
country. With the latter section of the
fraternity business has steadily improved.
The slackened wholesale demand has been
due to the fact that many retailers who
buy at other seasons have been busy mov-
ing the mums they grow in the houses
now to be used for bedding stock.

A New York daily in a recent issue
devoted space liberally to the treatment
of fall bulb planting, by amateurs.
"Bulbs for a City Yard," "Bulbs for
the House" and "Amateur Bulb Plant-
ing" were the heads over instructive and
fairly comprehensive articles. It goes
without saying that educational treatises
of this description, if published through-
out the country year after year in dif-
ferent guises, would be business boosters
of inestimable value to the trade.

LAKOE STOCK, LABGE SPACES.

There is a hint for others in the sub-
joined letter; a hint especially for those
who expect a small horse to pull a big
load:

We And advertislntr In The Review profitable,
with better returns than from any other trade
paper, and after trying out advertlaements of
different sizes we have found that the larger
spaces brought the greatest returns for eadi
diollar spent. Larger production has made larger
' advertisements advisaole and we expect to nae
more space in The Review this coming year tban
ever before. — William Toole & Son, Baraboo,
Wis., November 6, 1016.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sve he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

CALIFORNIA COUNTS.

California has been to the front this
month, politically and in a trade sense.
Just as California had to be reckoned
with in the matter of who is to be presi-
dent, so California has had to be reck-
oned with in the matter of the supply,
distribution and price of cut flowers.
It was something of a surprise, too, in
both cases to a good many people.

This is the first year that California
mums have penetrated the middle west
in quantities to unsettle the markets
there. For the last year or two they
have entered into competition with Cin-
cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas
City stock for the All Saints' day
business in Louisiana and Texas, but
otherwise had not been felt. The pro-
duction of chrysanthemums, mostly in
cloth houses, in southern California and
in glass houses around San Francisco
has increased greatly in the last year
or two and early this month there was a
far greater quantity than the local buy-
ing would consume. The result was an
energetic campaign for a wider market.
In this the shippers had the important
assistance of the two largest express
companies, each of which operates a
refrigerator car service east from a
coast terminal. The coast mums are
earlier than the crops in the Missouri
river country and farther north, so that
at first the long distance shipments
filled a need, but when the local mums
came in the importations only created a
glut greater than usual and depressed
prices to a serious extent. The Chicago
market suflfered and so did many others,
not so much perhaps from the number
of California mums sent there as from
the fact that many <'ustomers who
usually buy in those markets already
had been filled up with the shipments
from the west.

What another year will bring forth is
a matter for conjecture. It has been
demonstrated that mums grown almost
within sight of the Pacific can be
shipped far east and have a fair per-
centage open in salable condition. How
far the business can be developed at
a profit remains to be seen. No doubt
there are limits. The Review hears of
shipments on which the express was
nearly 3 cents per flower and in which
the waste was high which sold at a
profit early in the season but which
could not be handled after the local
crops became heavy. After that the
importations stopped. California violets
meet Hudson river violets about at the
Mississippi rjver. A few reshipments
of the Rhinebeck stock from Chicago
£ro farther west, but at Des Moines and
Kansas City the western flowers hold
the lead.

The Californians are pushing steadily

to open eastern outlets for their prod-
ucts and, although there seems to be a
limit beyond which they can not go as
a matter of regular business, they give
every indication of affording competi-
tion which will have to be taken into
consideration by everyone in the busi-
ness in the western half of the United
States.

THE PRICE OF FLOWERS.

The Review is convinced that large
numbers of florists, especially those in
the country towns who grow most of
the stock they sell, are retailing cut
flowers and potted plants at prices be-
low the cost of production. Evidence
of this ctnnes to hand every few days.
For instance, a subscriber in a south-
ern town writes that a certain whole-
saler overcharged him on an order for
All Saints' day and investigation re-
veals the fact that the order was for
75 cents' worth of white carnations,
75 cents' worth of pink carnations
and $2 worth of mums. The wholesaler
sent fifty carnations and fifteen mums
and obviously it was good stock, as the
distance was nearly a thousand miles
and the complaint is on the quantity,
not the quality.

The man who complains of prices
scarcely ever judges them by city stand-
ards. The city buyer knows something
of the cost of production and the rea-
sons for fluctuations; he does not call
3-cent carnations high at the end of
October. On the other hand, the man
who retails the stock l\j produces on the
home place is likely to have too many
duties to give time to figuring the cost
of production and he gradually falls
into the error of selling too cheaply.
By his standards he is overcharged when
he sends an occasional order to a city
wholesaler.

It behooves each man to take an ac-
count of his business and to do it now.
Costs of doing business are rising every
day and it is necessary for the florist
who would avoid financial diflSeulties to
know what stock costs and to ask prices
that will make the business return at
least a living.

CHICAGO.

Beware This Swindler.

The Review is advised that ^ man
is calling on the trade, asking for sub-
scriptions to this paper and offering a
brown leather pocketbook as a gift to
those who will subscribe. Please- take
note that The Review employs no
such solicitor; it never has found it
necessary to give pocketbooks, knives
or any other kind of premiums to get
people to buy the paper and anyone
making such an offer can be set down
as a swindler.

Not long ago a solicitor canvassed
near Chicago for The Review, but
when the receipts were read with care
it was found that it was the Farmers'
Review, not the Florists' Review,
which had been obtained with the
brown pocketbook. The Farmers' Re-
view refunded.

Representatives of The Review are
well known in the trade. Don 't pay
money to strangers for this paper's
account.

We Can Supply the Nuins

You Will Need for Thanksgiving

|T is quite evident that the Mum season will be nearly over by
Thanksgiving— not only is Thanksgiving a week later than
usual, but the weather has been so warm it has brought the

stock along faster than usual. Consequently, the Thanksgiving supply of Mums
will be less than in any recent year.

Foreseeing this condition, we arranged with some of
the largest and most skillful growers for special crops of
fine late varieties to be cut November 25 to 29. We can
book orders up to 25,000 to 30,000.

ALSO A FINE LOT OF POMPONS

Try some of our Pompons now and you will order a
big lot for Thanksgiving. Order some of our Novelty
Anemone varieties in assortment of colors — they always
make a hit.

RUSSELL AND OTHER ROSES

Our supply of Russell is fatnous all over America.
The crop is coming on now and will be splendid for Thanks-
giving.

The crops of Killarney BriUiant, Ward, Milady and
Sunburst also will be specially large and fine by next week.
Order these for Thanksgiving and you surely will want
them for Christmas.

DOUBLE- VIOLETS-SINGLE

If you are not satisfied with the quality of the Violets you are
using, try ours. You will say you never used better stock. Our
supply is very large.

CARNATIONS

Our stock comes from the
most skillful growers.

VALLEY

You always can get fine Val-
ley here.

EASTER LILIES

While we neTer are without good Giganteum Lilies, our supply this
week is larger than usual. The stock is fine, cut tight for shipping.

has made all Chicago shjver, has short-
ened the cuts to a considerable degree
and indications are that if the cold
weather continues, the supply will be
pretty short by the end of the week.
Both shipping and city trade have im-
proved and seem to be on the up grade.

American Beauties of good quality
are in good demand and are clearing
well. Poorer stock, however, is not
moving so fast. Other varieties of
roses began to move better November
10 and 11, and are clearing pretty well.
•Carnations are in good supply and of
excellent quality, but, on the whole, are
moving rather slowly; some of the sales
to clean up last week's accumulation
were at spring glut prices.

Better grade mums are moving well
and selling at fair prices. Poorer qual-
ity stock, on the other hand, is almost
impossible to move. Pompons in all
varieties are on the market in good
numbers, but as a rule are selling" rather
slowly. Last week's glut is thought to
be over.

Valley continues on the scarce side of
the market. Lilies are slow and are
obtainable at low prices. Violets, both
single and double, are in good supply
and are clearing fairly well. Sweet
peas are scarce, with but little demand
as yet. Orchids also are scarce, but
are in good demand. Calendulas are
not arriving in large numbers, but are
moving well. Mignonette is short and
clearing well. Paper "Whites are com-
ing in more plentifully and are in good
demand. Present indications are that
there will be an ample supply on the
market for Thanksgiving.

Strawflowers are in good demand.
Buyers evidently are beginning more
and more to realize that they are a
profitable investment. All greens are
moving well.

Florists' Review, Chicago.

C. V. Abele came to Chicago a few
years ago with considerably less than a
thousand dollars; within a month he had
leased some old, unprofitable green-
houses at Sixty-first and Throop streets
and had pledged his last cent for re-
pairs. He paid only $45 a month rent,

but soon was coining money — one year
he cleaned up over $7,000 and put it
into real estate. When he sold his stock
to the National Plant & Flower Co.,
which now operates the greenhouses, he
owned the handsome 9-flat building at
5600 Marshfield avenue, with rents of
nearly $3,000 per year.

Then comes John Zimmerman, of Mt.
Pleasant, Mich., who, wishing to retire,
bought the flats for $27,500, giving in
part payment the Mt. Pleasant Green-
houses, 22,000 feet of modern glass, val-
ued at $15,000.

It does seem far oflf , but if you do not stop to think
of Thanksgiving Day orders until the cook is pre-
paring the turkey, you may have no stock to fill
them with.

The Chrysanthemum is no doubt the popular flower
at this time, and the demand will be greater at the
Holiday than it is now, but if you order early, and
from us, you need not worry. We will be the head-
quarters for Quality Stock for the Holiday, not only
in Mums and Pompons, but Russells, Roses, Carna-

The real estate investment of Louis
and Fred Wittbold rapidly is rounding
into shape. Buckingnam apartments,
as the building is called, is nearing com-
pletion; in fact, only that part adja\
cent to the store awaits the finishing
touches and thirty-three of the thirty-
eight apartments are occupied. The
splendid light and air have made them
easy to rent at prices that are expected
to make the investment pay twelve to
fifteen per cent. The flower 'store,
leased to the George Wittbold Co., is in
a separate section of the building, with
■workrooms below, a splendid show
house at the back, offices on the right
and apartments above. This section is
fireproof, for the only wood in the store
is the furniture; the walls are brick,
the floors concrete and the window
frames steel. The store will be one of
the finest in the city.

The chrysanthemum shows are in
progress at the parks and are attract-

big free shows of this character, one
on each side of the city, it requires
something out of the ordinary to get a
crowd at a flower show where 50 cents
admission is charged.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

The weather last week, extraordinary
because of its serenity, caused an ac-
cumulation in the market. Stock of all
kinds was overabundant, but, despite
this volume, prices of chrysanthemums
were normal. Carnations and roses,
however, were hard to dispose of at
any price, although the quality was
exceptionally good.

As the result of the election and an
impending street car strike, a slight
depression was felt during the. week
that caused some anxiety among the
florists, but this was relieved November
11 by a stupendous consumption of
chrysanthemums, which was principally
due to a football game.

Hoses in all the best varieties, includ-
ing Russell, American Beauty, Shawyer,
Ophelia, the Killarneys, etc., which
regularly made $6 to $8 per hundred,
were sacrificed at $2, and dragged at
that. As a result of the glut, street
boys bought surplus stock for appar-
ently nothing and peddled it wherever
they could find buyers. Examples of
these cut prices were: One lot of fifty
American Beauty roses, twenty-five of
which had 18-inch stems and twenty-
five 12-inch stems, in fine condition, for
75 cents; fifty extra select carnations
for 50 cents. This slashing of prices
is disastrous to the retailer, as he can-
not purchase stock for that, but until
the florists cooperate nothing will be
done to prevent this butchering of
prices by peddlers, department stores
and tranaientfl.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market continues dis-
appointing, particularly from a chrys-
anthemum standpoint. The mild weather
has brought the midseason varieties of
chrysanthemums all in at once, besides
softening the flowers. The demand has
been poor. The result is extremely low
prices. So bad have been the conditions
that it is feared chrysanthemum grow-
ers will not make expenses on their
midseason crop. The early varieties did
well and it is confidently expected that
the late varieties will find a good mar-
ket, but the grower who has cut heav-
ily during the last three weeks has not
met with proper encouragement. Pom-
pons have suffered with their big sisters.

Koses show an improvement. There
is quite a fair demand for Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Ward and Hadley. White Kil-
larney has sold better than Killarney,
which now makes a poor tail to the list.
Carnations lag^ badly. Violets suffer
except on Friday and Saturday. Val-
ley has been about equal to the demand.
Orchids have shortened in supply as
labiata goes out and Trianse goes in;
the price has advanced. Good snap-
dragon is more abundant and sells nice-
ly. A few Paper Whites have come.
Cosmos is still about.

The Political Field.

There was one particularly notewor-
thy feature of the November meeting
of the Florists' Club that deserves to
be chronicled. It is the appointment
by President Farenwald of W. F. Ther-
kildson to the chairmanship of his most
important committee. This is signifi-
cant because Mr. Therkildson was Mr.
Farenwald 's opponent at the polls in
October.

In the early days of American history
the newly elected president asked his
defeated rival to become secretary of
state, with the idea of uniting all par-

wald has set the admirable precedent of
placing his confidence in his erstwhile
opponent and by so doing uniting all
the members to work together for their
common welfare.

The Strafford Flower Farm.

The Strafford Flower Farm was
established by Edward A. Stroud in
1903. It consisted of about twenty-two
acres, on which were erected three
Hitchings houses, each about 28x300

feet, which were connected by a cor-
ridor house running at right angles to
the three houses. There also was a
smaller house about 25x100 feet, a well-
equipped office, a dwelling and some
farm buildings. Eight years later, in
1911, Mr. Stroud built a large King
house, 54x350 feet. He also added a
garage and two delivery cars.

Strafford, from the first, has stood
foremost among the carnation ranges in
this section. The varieties grown, the
quality and quantity of stock, has al-
ways been of deep interest to growers,
wholesalers and retailers who know any-
thing about the divine flower. When

the carnation experts came to Phila-
delphia from Chester and Lancaster
counties they went out to Straflford,
fifteen miles out on the Main Line of
the Pennsylvania railroad, to see
whether that stock was up to the high-
est standard in every particular. Later
Strafford also became famous for its
chrysanthemums. First the .Japanese
varieties were grown, and then the
anemoneflowered, singles and semi-
doubles, including some rare seedlings,
were even more successfully cultivated.
There was another feature of Straf-
ford that added interest to the place in
the ej'es of every grower who visited it.
Here were the ideas of a bright mind
carried into execution, untrammeled by
lack of means. Nearly all of us know
what it means to be poor. It may be
good for us, it may make better busi-
ness men. of us in the long run, but
how bitterly hard it is to have cheaply
constructed greenhouses, or to grow old,
inferior varieties or what not, for lack
of capital! Well, at Strafford, through
Mr. Stroud's courtesy, every grower
was welcome. He could study for him-

self what the best varieties would do
in the best houses under skillful culture,
lie could then determine what he must
have and what he could do wijthout, for
a while at least.

All this is recapitulated merely to
show why the floral world attaches so
much importance to the change at Straf-
ford this season. On the first day of
last July Alfred M. Campbell succeeded
Edward A. Stroud as owner and mana
ger of the Strafford Flower Farm. After
four months of active work this place
is beginning to produce in earnest. Mr.
Campbell has made few changes, con-
tinuing with pretty much the same force
and the same stock a-s his predecessor.
He has moved his family out to the
homelike-looking farm house on this
place.

The finest sight at Strafford today is
that half of one of the large Hitchings
houses planted to the orange-colored
chrysanthemum seedling, Strafford. It
is a commercial cut flower variety of
merit that has been thoroughly tested.
You climb on an elevation and look
over some 20,000 blooms, which form

a sheet of orange — a sight so striking
that you are certain to remember it
with pleasure for a long time after-
ward.

Next to Strafford are the spray chry-
santhemums. These are absorbingly in-
teresting. They cover a wide range of
types and nationalities. They are all
good; there is not a poor variety among
them. They were Mr. Stroud's especial
pride. Here is Fairy Queen, now so
popular; Buckingham, favored by the
leading retailers; Souvenir d'Or, with
its promise of a golden Thanksgiving;
Garza and Mary CoUaday; Como, named
by Mr. Stroud after the next station
to his summer cottage; Cavalier, so gay
and dashing, and many more. The
Japanese varieties were represented by
a number of the best sorts, all well
grown. The smaller house of pot-grown
specialties, next to the office, was al-
most as hard to leave as Strafford and
the spray chrysanthemums. These lit-
tle specialties were nicely grown. There
was Geranium Alphonse Ricard, looking
as it does in May, not in November;
pans of Begonia luminosa, richly col-

ored, and a whole lot of other things,
all quite tempting.

The palms and ferns fill a big house,
standard varieties in standard sizes, and
all showing a clean bill of health.

Last and most interesting of all is the
big King house containing 30,000 car-
nations in benches. It is quickly said
or written, but did you ever see 30,-
000 carnations in one house! Probably
some of you have. Even so, you will
admit it is not an ordinary sight, and
it is. a fine one. The plants have been
pinched back with the object of bring-
ing them into bloom in December. They
are healthy and promise well. Outdoors
Strafford possesses some fine evergreens
that are most ornamental, and an ex-
cellent collection of hardy chrysanthe-
mums.

The Bose Show Here.

A special meeting of the executive
committee of the American Rose So-
ciety was held in the Florists' Club's
room in Horticultural hall, on the eve-
ning of November 8. Nine of the ten
members of the committee were pres-
ent. The tenth, August F. Poehlmann,
wrote a cordial letter to Secretary Ham-
mond regretting, his inability to be pres-
ent and promising his aid should the
plan of holding an independent show be
undertaken. About thirty of the lead-
ing rose growers of Philadelphia re-
sponded to the invitation to meet the
committee.

President Pennock explained that the
object of the meeting was to decide
whether the Rose Society should under-
take a show of its own in Philadelphia
next spring. The dates March 20 to
23 had been reserved and the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society, or rather
the council representing the owners, had
offered Horticultural hall free of charge
for those days, with the understanding
that the regular spring show of the
P. H. S. might be staged downstairs
during the rose show. President Pen-
nock had personally undertaken to raise
a guarantee fund of $5,000 to assure the
financial success of the show. His plan
of having fifty subscribers at $100 each
had already succeeded, forty-three of
the fifty being pledged and the re-
maining seven practically assured. With

GLOEKLER

FLOWER
STORE

Qloekler Fixtures in Store of A. W. Smith Co., Plttsburi^h.

REFRIGERATORS

THE essential feature of a refrigerator
for cut flowers is a cold, dry circu-
lation of air. That is the fundamental
principle of Gloekler Flower Refrigerators.
The stock keeps to its full limit, and at the
same time results in a saving of ice. It
requires perfect insulation to produce this
condition, and the Gloekler method of re-
inforced 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 at-
tractively that the flowers almost sell them-
selves. 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 splendid styles and sizes in stock for quick ship-
ment. We build any size or style to order. Any finish.

them locally. Koses in colors are holdr
ing their own, particularly Hoosier
Beauty, Hadley, Ked Radiance, Killar-
iney Brilliant and Shawyer. Mock,
which has been extra fine so far, is be-
ginning to become bull-headed. Carna-
tions are still suffering on account of the
chrysanthemums. Sweet peas are some-
what more plentiful. Double violets are
meeting with fair sale but single violets
are left unsold. For the first time in
many months there is an oversupply of
valley. A fine lot of bouvardia is ready.

Various Notes.

The Washington Floral Co. is cutting
some exceptionally fine Mensa mums,
Double White Killarney and Ophelia
roses.

The automobile delivery outfit of the
Leo Niessen Co. was practically demol-
ished last week when hit by a touring
car. The colored driver was not given
time enough to jump clear of the wreck
and was thrown with the car, but es-
caped without serious injury.

Among the changes noted in the vari-
ous stores are reported the resignation
of Mrs. Supper from the employ of
George C. Shaffer and the employment
of Samuel Everett at the Dupont Flower
Shop, Edward Niedomanski, formerly
■with George H. Cooke, now is engaged
at a steel plant.

Clifford Wilson, who is employed at
the Fourteenth street store of the Wash-
ington Floral Co., is on the sick list.

William Marche has secured a lease
covering the entire building at 731-735
Fourteenth street, northwest, Mr.
Marche has for a number of years oc-
cupied the corner store, the other two
being occupied by a photographer.
Upon getting the lease, Mr. Marche im-
mediately pushed back the side wall,
the additional space making a great
deal of improvement.

In commenting upon the Philadelphia
and Lancaster flower shows, which he
attended last week, William F. Gude
said they were fine but he deplored the
fact that the retailers at both shows
were conspicuous by their absence.

The sympathy of the trade is with
Mrs. Mary E. Freeman, who has a store
on Thirteenth street and is the owner
of a range of greenhouses here, on the
death of her daughter, Katharine Elisa-
beth, who passed away last week after
an illness of about three months. Miss
Freeman was the sister of Louis and
Joseph Freeman, who have beeo con-
ducting the business since the death of
their father, the late J. R. Freeman.

Michael J. McCabe, of Anacostia,' D.
C, who operates a stand in the Center
market, has returned home. Mr. Mc-
Cabe had been forced to give up active
work because of a nervous breakdown
. and has been recuperating in New York.
His health is much improved.

The monthly meeting of the florists'
Club last week was devoted largely to
a discussion of politics and the effect
of the election upon the District of Co-
lumbia. The prediction was made that
the forthcoming months will be more
prosperous.

Thomas Knight, of Knight & Struck
Co., New York, is in Washington with
a number of men packing up the Briggs
orchid plants which the firm has just
acquired. It is stated by Mr. Knight
that by Christmas there will not be one
of these plants left in Washington and
this also means the end of orchid pro-
duction in this city. The collection

The Markets.

Business last week was satisfactory,
but the supplies of mums and carna-
tions were rather more than the de-
mand required. Large and single mums
sell well, but carnations find a slow
sale, though their quality is good.
Roses are in good form and sell nicely,
considering the large flood of mums.
Lilies are in short supply, but violets
are suflicicnt to meet the call. Totted
plants move slowly.

Various Notes.

Emil Krruiz, of ^Muscatine, la., was
a visitor in Davenport November !♦.

P. G. Pearson, Arvid Anderson, (".
Sorensen nnd Henry Gaethje attended
the Illinois state florists' meeting at
Bloomington last week.

C. J. Reardon and William Goos were
among those present at the Iowa state
meeting and flower show at Ames last
week.

Miss M. Turney, of the Rills Floral
Co., reports trade good for the season,
with mums and roses as the prime
sellers.

Forber & Bird report that single
mums are selling well, double pompons
not so well, with a good demand for the
large varieties.

Harry Bills is having a large pick of
violets.

The meeting of the Tri-City Florists'
Club was postponed to Thursday, No
vember 16, in order not to conflict with
the date of the Illinois state meeting
at Bloomington and the Iowa state
meeting at Ames. W. G.

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection, with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

The Market.

Last week flowers of all kinds con-
tinued to pile up and the regular trade
could not possibly use all of them. As
a result, only the best of the stock was
sold by the florists and the remainder
sacrificed to the street fakers, who had
the time of their lives. It was a shame
to see some of the stock sold on the
streets, but what could the wholesalers
do? Of course, the retailers complained
and explained that it would be better
for the business if the surplus were
thrown away, but the wholesaler
thought "a bird in the hand was worth
two in the bush" and took what he
could get for the surplus.

The wholesale houses were plenti-
fully supplied with good roses, carna-
tions and mums in wide variety. Paper
Whites, violets, mignonette, snap-
dragons and yellow daisies were plenti-
ful and gave everybody a lovely time
looking for customers.

The retailers had a splendid week.
Trade was good, considering that it was
election week; it was more than they
expected.

There is some anxiety over the non-
arrival of azaleas and some in the trado
have concluded that there will not bo
any this year. Some fine plants of
lilacs have been on the road so long
that perhaps they will not be worth
forcing.

Florists' Club Meeting.

There was a good attendance at the
November 7 meeting of the Florists'
Club, which was devoted to exhibits
and discussions of the too plentiful
mum. Schenley park had a couple of
vases containing the largest and finest
mums ever shown at a meeting, and
someone said that the flowers were
grown by a park employee who knew
little about flowers, but had brains
enough to do as he was told. Other
exhibitors were M. Curran, H. J. Heinz
and C. Goodwin & Sons.

fifth annual club banquet in charge re-

BOSTON.

The Market.

The records of previous years show
conclusively that during the first half
of November, when chrysanthemums
are at their flood tide, prices have been
low and the cut flower business poor.
Each year a certain number of growers
decide to drop mums or materially re
duce their plantings, while other grow-,
ers, hearing of these things, plunge in
them heavily. The results we all know.
The clear skies we have had of late,
with mild weather, have favored a heavy
cut of all flowers and we must wait
a few more days for a recession of the
main tide and more bracing weather
before business improves.

Chrysanthemums seem to be in as
overwhelming supply as ever and prices
rule too low to be profitable. While
single-stem flowers lag, the sales of
pompons and singles are quite good.
Koses are not in an enviable position,
but are doing a trifle better than a
week ago. The flowers are somewhat
lacking in substance, owing to the
warm weather. Carnations are little
changed, with few fancy flowers sell-
ing over $2 per hundred. Violets sold
well November 11 for local football
games. They now are arriving of
much better quality. Lilies still sell
slowly. A few nice sweet peas are
coming in and sell quickly. Yellow
marguerites for so early in the season
are quite abundant and clean up nicely.
Candytuft is hard to sell. The supply
of Cattleya labiata still is ample and
there is a good variety of cypripediums.
The pot plant trade is fairly good.

Various Notes,

The funeral of William F. Malloy,
the late manager in Boston for the Bud-
long Kose Co., was largely attended by
local growers, salesmen and retailers,
among whom Mr. Malloy was highly
esteemed. Services were held at the
Natick Catholic church November 9.

J. T. Butterworth, of South Framing
ham, one of our leading and most ex-
pert orchid specialists, has lost his en-
tire crop of Cattleya labiata this sea-
son. Mr. Butterworth 's orchid houses
run close to one of the streets and some
of the town employees a few days ago
raked up and burned all the leaves on
the street, which had been treated
with tar and oil. The smoke blew
through the ventilators and destroyed
about .$800 worth of flowers and buds,
also sending many carnations to sleep
in adjoining houses. The town seems to be
clearly responsible for damage done and
will probably settle for it. It is hoped

that foliage on affected plants may not
suffer also. Mr. Butterworth 's orchids
are in fine condition. His collection of
rare cypripediums and cymbidiums are
specially noteworthy.

James Wheeler, of Natick, is glazing
a new house 30x200, which he will plant
with yellow marguerites as soon as com-
pleted. Mr. Wheeler is our leading and
most successful local specialist in yel-
low marguerites. He grows all his
plants in solid beds, in which they al-
ready are smothered with blooms and
will continue so right through the win-
ter, thus upsetting the theory that to
bloom marguerites in winter they must
be starved at the root. A liberal top-
dressing of cow manure on the beds
now knocks the starvation theory on
the head completely. A space 60x150
is filled with marguerites in bloom, all
propagated this year. Carnations are
well done here. Alice surpassed all
others in productiveness. Pink Delight
looks splendid. Nancy compared un-
favorably with the two former varie-
ties and will need to hustle to catch up
with them. Matchless, White Wonder,
Benora and Beacon all are in splendid
shape.

The W. W. Edgar Co. has received
over 100 cases of its azaleas from Bel-
gium. Considering that these were
shipped September 20, their condition
is good. More Dutch bulbs than ever
have been planted here this season.
The demand for cyclamens and be-
gonias is so strong that plants with only
one or two flowers open are eagerly
taken.

Patrick Welch is receiving some fine
shipments of laurel wreaths, the best I
have seen this season. Single chrysan-
themums from Farquhar's Dedham
nurseries sell well. The supplies of all
flowers are heavy and it requires much
strenuous work to help clean them up.

John McFarland is cutting a fine
crop of Bonnaffon mums, in addition to

Lilium giganteum and lily of the val-
ley. He showed his fine hybrid Lselio-
Cattleya Eastoniensia at the Coopera-
tive Market, November 11. This is a
cross between Leelia Digbyana and Cat-
tleya gigas and was awarded a silver
medal by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society in 1914.

Thomas Galvin, Inc., November 11
had a fine window of yellow chrysan-
themums and crotons. Another win-
dow contained crimson mums and red
roses, while a central one was devoted
to a display of Ficus elastica. Business
hero continues good.

Remember the meeting of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club November
21. In addition to John Davey's stere-
opticon lecture on "Tree, Insect,
Bird," which will attract a big attend-
ance, there will be nominations of offi-
cers for 1917 and good displays of late
chrysanthemums and other flowers.

Fire November 10 damaged the store
of Mrs. J. W. Rogers, on Summer street,
near the South station.

Neil Boyle, of Maiden, has finished
potting 12,000 giganteum lilies for next
Easter. His roses are giving an excel-
lent account of themselves, especially
Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty.

Paine Bros., of Randolph, have at
last received and planted all their
Dutch bulbs. They are cutting a fine
assortment of pompon mums, in addi-
tion to the ever-popular BonnaflFon.

Henry Penn has received many en-
tries for his chrysanthemum show to
bo held November 16 to 18. He intend-
ed to advertise this show in the Boston
dailies.

In addition to the store on Massachu-
setts avenue, HoflFman now operates a
store on Dartmouth street, near the
Back Bay and Trinity Place stations,
and has the flower booth at the Copley
Plaza hotel.

The Market.

Last week the market was in a
crowded condition. There was quite a
lot of business going on among the re-
tailers, but this was not sufficient to
move the big cut coming in daily.
Prices suffered greatly in all grades
and clean-up sales were recorded only
in valley and orchids.

Chrysanthemums now are in midsea-
son height. The fine, warm days
brought in the late varieties that the
grower was banking on for Thanksgiv-
ing sales. Bonnaffon now is in great
profusion and only the extra choice
blooms bring a fair price. Golden Wed-
ding and Chadwick made their appear-
ance last week. Some fine Turner,
Kelley, V. Poehlmann and Appleton
were seen, as well as a large variety of
pompons. Eoses, too, are in great pro-
fusion in all varieties and of extra good
quality, but prices are exceedingly low.
Eussell is the best seller and Beauties
clean up daily, but Killarney, Ward,
Richmond, Ophelia and Sunburst glut

60 year*' experience in the florist business foaranteea
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

the market and in many cases these are
sold as low as $5 per thousand.

Carnations are slow in demand, with
the home-grown stock having the call.
These suffer in price along with the
roses. Excellent blooms can be had as
low as 50 cents per hundred. The best
of the home-grown carnations hold up
to $15 and $20 per thousand. Easter
lilies now may be had daily at $10 per
hundred. The market for fine orchids
has been good here, cattleyas cleaning
up daily at from $6 to $7.50 per dozen.
An extra good supply of valley is hold
at $6 per hundred.

Violets as yet arc not of extra qual-
ity; the warm weather caused the buds
to come blind. Swoct peas arc arriving
daily, also Paper Whites. All groiMis
are in demand, with flat ferns up to
$1.75 per thousand. Smilax and aspar-
agus are in big demand.

Florists' Club Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
regular monthly meeting in Odd Fol-
lows' hall, November 9, this being the
first indoor meeting the club has hold
for the last five months. The attend-
ance was disappointing to the officers,
only about twenty-five being present.

President Bourdet called tlie meeting
to order ami after the routine proceed-
ings the chair called for reports from
all committees. The most important
of these was that of the spring flower
show committee. Secretary \V. W.
Ohlwoiler said that all committees hav-
ing this show in charge were working
harmoniously, that the subscriptions
were nearing the $10,000 mark and that
the preliminary premium list had been
mailed. This show will be the largest
ever given by St. Louis florists.

A number of communications were
read and filed for future reference. The
committee on the applications for mem-
bership of Paul Redin, .T. .T. Karins,
.Joseph Deutschmann, W. .T. Wright, A.
P. Shaad, F. Sanders, .1. W. Reese, A.
Taber and R. C. Kerr reported favor-
ably and their election followed. On
motion it was decided to appoint a com-
mittee to change the by-laws of Article

I, Sections 2, 3 and 4. The chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Beneke, Irish and Wells
to compose this committee and report
at the next meeting.

Luther Armstrong, of Kirkwood, Mo.,
staged a new variety of yellow chrysan-
themum, a large, single yellow, which
was much admired.

The trustees were instructed to select
a new meeting place and report at the
next meeting. The club has had its
present meeting place for the last twen-
ty years and it will be hard to convince
members that a better place could be
found.

Various Notes.

November 20 the Retail Florists'
Association will hold an important
meeting at the Mission Inn Garden.
President Charles Young says the mem-
bership committee has an interesting
report to make. Secretary Weber, who
is chairman of the retailers' exhibition
committee of the spring flower show,
will give a talk on what is expected
of the members at the spring show.

The chrysanthemum show at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden last week was
a brilliant one and drew an immense
crowd, especially Sunday. General

Manager Ohlweiler says this year's
show far excels any previous efforts at
the Garden. The show is free to the
public and will continue until the end
of the mum season.

J. W. Ross, of Centralia, Til., reports
that the fall flower show held recently
at Centralia was a great success, both
socially and financially. Mr. Ross is
consigning a fine cut of Easter lilies
to the St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co.

Charles and William Meier, of Kirk-
wood, are cutting a grand lot of Bon-
naffon and White Bonnaffon; also fine
Turner mums. These bring top prices
and clean up well daily.

Joseph Witek, on McPherson avenue,
had a fine display of mums in baskets.
:Mr. Witek and his assistant, Alex Gera-
nios, know how to feature new designs.

Martin Seeger, with the Mullanphy
Florists, at Eighth and Locust streets,
says business last week was large. This
firm's show windows are filled with the
choicest of cut stock. Nat Kingsley, in
charge of the Grand avenue store, had
his big force working overtime each
night last week.

Edward Westmann, manager of Van-
dervoort's flower department, says that
the sale on fall bulbs is larger than ever
this year. The special flower sales each
week have proved a big success, cspe-
ciallv when mums are on sale.

ports that the stork paid him a visit
last week and left a baby boy. Frank
is one of the popular boys in the whole-

The Milliken Beauty houses, at Cres-
cent, Mo., now are producing a fine cut
daily. Much is expected of these for
the coming holiday season.

Gust Grossart, of Belleville, 111., re-
ports that he will have a fine lot of
poinsettias in plants and for cut flowers
for Christmas. Mr. Grossart says busi-
ness in his line has been excellent so
far this season.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle held
an interesting meeting November 8 at
the home of Mrs. George B. Windier.

According to present indications, quite
a shortage is developing in canners' peas.

The spinach crop in Holland, always
an important one to the seed trade here,
is said to be less than half a normal
one.

Utah is the only state in the Union
that reports any considerable increase in
the acreage of peas for canning this year.
In Utah the gain is twenty-five per cent.

Paul S. Suzuki, of Oakley, Wyo., is
the representative for the United States
of Suzuki Bros. Co., of Yokohama,
Japan, growers and exporters of lily
bulbs and medicinal plants.

Some foreign shipments of seeds are
beginning to come in, but so far they
have been rather disappointing and there
is considerable question as to whether cer-
tain varieties will be shipped at all this
year.

Feed W. Vick, a member of the prom-
inent Vick family, of Eochester, N. Y.,
died November 12, after a long illness.
This week's obituary column contains
a brief sketch of the life of the de-
ceased.

In a circular to the canning trade, urg-
ing a careful consideration of costs be-
fore 1917 prices are quoted, the National
Canners' Association lists as the first
item of many increased costs that ' * seeds
have advanced nearly seventy-five per
cent."

Visited Chicago: A. E. Bell, presi-
dent of the American Seed Co., Fort
Worth, Tex. Mr. Bell was in high
spirits over the outcome of the presiden-
tial election and reported that business
in Texas is exceptionally good. In fact,
he said it was hard to secure enough stock
for the trade and that good prices are
obtained on everything.

Several of the large California grow-
ers of seeds are now starting on their
annual trips east and the trade may again
be prepared for reports of short plant-
ings and higher prices on onion seeds.
There are those in the seed trade who
think the travelers will find among their
troubles the necessity of explaining to
their friends in the east how California
happened to vote as it did.

A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, reports large inquiries this week
from the pickle and canners' trade, for
dill and spinach seeds. Both of these
seeds are usually imported from Holland
and Germany, but because of the em-
bargo on their exportation by the Hol-
land government, receipts will be small
this year and prices high. In fact, Mr.
Smith says that parties who were able to
place orders have been fortunate.

SEEDS ALONG SACRAMENTO.

The growing of seed in the Sacra-
mento valley of California is assuming
larger proportions, as is evidenced by
the shipments from the delta region
this season. Fourteen carloads were
shipped by two firms, the Pieters-
Wheeler Seed Co., of Gilroy, Cal., and
Waldo Rohnert, of Hollister. Of these,
eight carloads were onion seed, four

A PROFIT-SHARINa DIVIDEND.

Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis,
recently made known to their employees
a profit-sharing dividend plan affecting
at present about 150 people. This divi-
dend is awarded on the basis of net
earnings of the company for the fiscal
year closing July 1, in proportion to
the salary of each individual and length
of continuous service. At the time the
announcement was made, checks were
handed to all those who were entitled
to them for the year ending July 1, last.

The plan was put in operation to
bring about a greater degree of co-
operation, to increase efficiency and to
encourage thrift. If the plan works
out as well as is anticipated, it is ex-
pected it will be continued on the same
liberal basis as first announced.

CANNERS AT MILWAUKEE.

The convention of the Wisconsin can-
ners, held in Milwaukee November 13
to 16, was well attended by members
of the seed trade. The consensus seems
to bo that there is a healthy quality in
connection with the general advance in
prices. Some seeds, however, have ad-
vanced so much that the prices have
a serious influence on the sales. Espe-
cially is this true of spot peas. The
greatly increased value of seed for ex-
port has a serious effect on the do-
mestic situation. Alaskas were offered
for $7.50 to $8 per bushel. Prices of
course have advanced materially since
last year and the advance was greatly
needed, as there was little or no profit
in the turnover last year. The bean
situation is still unsettled and present
indications are for higher prices, espe-
cially inasmuch as garden beans for
seed have not advanced in the same
proportion as edible beans. Seed sweet
corn is a scarce article and, to quote

WANT GRASS SEEDS IN BRAZIL.

At a time when seeds are scarce the
world over there are, of course, in-
numerable opportunities for new busi-
ness. Most of these opportunities will
disappear with the conditions that
brought them about, but Consul Gen-
eral A. L. M. Gottschalk, at Rio de
Janeiro, calls the attention of Ameri-
can grass seed dealers to a chance to
make permanent connections of a profit-
able nature.

"American firms dealing in grass
seeds," he says, "should be interested
in a cattle congress to be held at Rio
de Janeiro in May, 1917. Presumably
an excellent opportunity will be of-
fered, in the handsome building devoted
to the congress, for an exposition in
glass cases of foreign pasture-seeds,

FLORISTS ARE LIKE CABBAGES

They don't head well when planted too
close together. Some towns are so full
of them that they have to hammer each
other to keep busy, using epithets such as
Crape-Chaser, Shrapnel-faced bouquet
peddler, Sockless John the cut-priced
fiend, Fritz the 5 & 10 cent store slave,
etc., merely to indicate the sore spot in
their own carcass. Now the basic princi-
ple of knocking is jealousy, and jealousy
is a social cancer that grows by what it
feeds upon. It is also a form of damphool-
ishness that rebounds against the dis-
penser like a boomerang. If you happen
to belong to this society of sad-eyed sea-
son sweaters, resign at once and sell your
hammer and buy a horn — and blow it ever
afterward. Advertise flowers — go after
business, and if you can't make a good
living in your town, get out of it and into
another — never mind the greenhouses —
sell them for whatever they will bring, for
they're no good if they will not support
you. Many a man has had to start over
in life and it's never too late either. And
remember— IT DOES NOT TAKE SO
MUCH STRENGTH TO DO THINGS
AS IT DOES TO KNOW WHAT TO
DO AND WHEN TO DO IT. There is
one thing we can save you thinking about
by telling you what to do and when to do
it, and that is GET SOME HORSESHOE
BRAND GIGANTEUM— GET THEM

Flowering. And if you want some during

planting table showing planting and flow-
ering dates all through the year.

in the end, is the opinion of Robert
Bruce.

The Steckler Seed Co., of New Or-
leans, finds the combination of seed
store and menagerie of pets profitable.
As the oldest seed house it has a clien-
tele of good old-fashioned customers.

Chris Renter, of New Orleans, who
probably has the most extensive, seed
and commission connection in Louisiana,
says that in all his experience he never
had so perplexing a time as now, when
he can give his growers big prices for
their product, but finds the greatest
difficulty in furnishing the seed for that
supply.

Van Antwerp's Seed Store, of Mo-
bile, Ala., reports a steady increase in
shipments along the gulf and Central
American ports. "We are constantly
experimenting to combat various in-
sect pests, having our own entomol-
ogist," observed Dr. .T. Van Antwerp.
"The worst enemy with us is the cot-
ton scale, which is causing great havoc
and for which we have not yet found
an exterminator; but it will be found."

OH, HEAVENLY MUSIC!

Here is sweet balm to the catalogue
compiler, be he boss, ad man or clerk,
who reckons the fruits of his labors
unsung. Excerpts from an editorial on
the seed catalogue:

There was a day before chimneys were abol-
ished, and toward Christmas time, when we used
to gather before the open grate and read the seed
cataloguj.

Somehow we thought then, and we still think,
that the artists who designed these catalogues
must have been touched with the genius of those
ancient masters who made the walls of Rome talk
and who drew tears to the eyes of those who
gazed upon their canvas still moist with pigments.

The seed catalogue is more bewitching than the
best told fairy story. Hans Christian Andersen,
the Brothers Grimm and Arabian Nights hold
■within their pages nothing more fascinating,
nothing more bewitching, nothing more awe-In-
opiring than the pictures of the wonderful
achievements of the seeds that are sold when
properly planted.

The seed catalogue lingers a little, but Just a
little, In the shadow of Action, but it must be
admitted that it is the most fascinating form
of literature now to be had. It Is neither ponder-
ous nor severe, it is neither classic nor prosaic.
It is the printed embodiment of life. It affords
a future picture of what we all may possess by
the practice of a little patience and industry.

The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex-
periment Station says it is noteworthy
that last season downy mildew of cucum-
bers was reported in greenhouses in the
eastern part of the state as early as May
first, which was fully a month earlier
than this disease usually makes its ap-
pearance. It continued to cause serious
damage during the entire summer, and
was present in some houses long after
the first fall frosts. It resulted in total
failure of the cucumber crop in some
places, and heavy loss resulted every-
where, both to indoor and outdoor crops.
A similar outbreak of the disease oc-
curred in 1913.

but tomato flowers do not appeal to
bees so strongly as do cucumbers. To-
matoes require a dry, buoyant atmos-
phere, and a tapping of the wires or
shoots about noon each day, particu-
larly when the sun is shining, will dis-
seminate the pollen nicely. During
spells of dark, sunless weather hand
pollination should be practiced. A
bunch of cotton wool or a rabbit's tail,
tied on the end of a stick, makes an
excellent medium with which to ferti-
lize the flowers. Eun your plants a

How and when is cauliflower sown
in the fall and how much protection
does it require?

A. R. G.— O.

Cauliflower would not prove hardy
with you and it does not pay to en-
deavor to winter it in frames. For an
early c^op in hotbeds, sow at Christmas.
For a first outdoor planting, sow in
March in a hotbed or greenhouse.

USINOEE'S UTTERANCES.

C. R. Betts has opened a handsome
flower store at Jamestown, N. Y.

Dana Herron, of Olean, N. Y., had a
fine stock of bloopis in his retail store.
Manager Oppenheimer is ever busy
properly displaying the stock, and, with
his gracious smile and pleasing per-
sonality, wins many friends.

S. Oflferle, of Warren, Pa., reports
business satisfactory at his new range,
and, with a good crop coming along, a
successful season is looked for.

A. H. Sharman, of Warren, has had a
strenuous season. The scarcity of labor
was severe and made it necessary to
work well into the night. Mr. Sharman
has been well rewarded, however, as
stock never looked better.

Victor Offerle, of Warren, has finished
repairing some of his houses and a
better than usual season is looked for.

John Laver, of Erie, Pa., is cutting
some fine roses at the Erie Floral Co.
range, which he recently acquired.

The Bauer Floral Co., of Erie, had a
magnificent display of seasonable stock
in plants and cut flowers.

The Schluraff Floral Co., of Erie, re-
ports business is far in excess of that
of last year and a banner season is
predicted.

L. A. Eaton, of Conneaut, O., says his
stock of Christmas plants is coming
along finely.

Violet plants in pots are a feature of
the Tong & Weeks Floral Co., of Ashta-
bula, O. This was the first time the
writer ever saw violets sold this way.
Mr. Weeks says the item is a good
seller.

The management of the Wilson
Flower Shop, of Painesville, O., is plan-
ning a new store, which the continued
increase in business warrants. Some
fine stock was noted in the houses built
last summer.

W. R. Parker, of Sandusky, O., has
opened a store on West Market street.
He closed shop for the summer and
opened in the new location.

The Matern Flower Shop, of San-
dusky, had some fine novelties on dis-
play. Business is reported unusually
good.

H. A. Cook, of Oberlin, is disposing
of a large cut of n^ums in the Cleveland
and near-by markets.

The Humm-Wainright Floral Co., of
Oberlin, O., has opened a store on WesJ
College street. There was a good dis-

An interesting illustration showing the
most elaborate church decoration thus
far executed by the Hollywood Gardens,
Seattle, Wash., is a feature of another
section of this issue of The Eeview.

SOSE BUST IN CALIFOBNIA.

Enclosed are some rose leaves taken
from a number of rose bushes in my
nursery. The red, peppery appearance
shows only on the under side of the leaf,
and, as I do not think it is the red
spider, I should like to have your opin-
ion as to what the disease is. Also,
what is a remedy for it?

I have several rows of fig trees and
would like to know if sweet peas grown
in the rows would in any way injure
the fig trees.

Will it be all right to pot cyclamen
plants in soil in which sweet peas have
been grown! B. V. i>f. — Cal.

The rose leaves enclosed are infested
with rose rust — Phragmidium mucrona-
tum — and, while there is no known rem-
edy for the rust, the attack usually can
be stopped by removing and burning
all affected leaves. In southern Cali-
fornia there are many neglected berry
patches covered with rust, and, although
experts say this is a different kind, I
have frequently noted bad cases of rose
rust in the vicinity of the berry
patches.

The leaves submitted also were badly
affected with mildew, which is common
on outdoor roses in this section. Sul-
phur is about the best remedy for this.
Shake fine flowers of sulphur over
the bushes through a sack or piece of
old burlap. The best time to do this
is in the early morning, when there is
reason to expect a hot day. The morn-
ing moisture on the bushes holds the
sulphur until the heat of the day liber-
ates the sulphuric acid, which kills the
mildew.

The sweet peas can do no harm to
the fig trees, provided the trees are far
enough away, so that the roots are not
disturbed. The fig trees are far more
likely to rob the peas than vice versa.

The soil in which sweet peas have
been grown is all right to use for pot-
ting cyclamens, provided it is properly
enriched with fertilizer, the same as
would be done to any other soil.

H. E. Richards.

BBUNNEE IN CALIFOBNIA.

Kindly inform me through The Re-
view how to propagate the Cecile Brun-
ner rose. What treatment is required
to insure a good colort

M. M. F.— Cal.

The great popularity which the Cecile
Brunner rose has attained in California
has had the usual result of its being
grown for quantity rather than for qual-
ity. Carelessness in selecting the wood
for cuttings and in finding a suitable soil
and position has caused the production
of thin-textured, pale flowers, which are
not nearly so attractive as those from
plants given better treatment.

The wood for propagating should be
taken from the lower part of the bushes,

not from near the flower stems. The
wood roots freely if cut into lengths of
about four inches and inserted in a sand
bed. If a little bottom heat is at com-
mand, the cuttings will root more surely
and more rapidly, but this is not abso-
lutely essential, many thousands of cut-
tings being raised annually without bot-
tom heat.

Insert the cuttings in the usual way,
by marking the drill with an old table
or chisel knife on a lath, and see that
the bases of the cuttings rest on a firm
bottom and that the sand is well pound-
ed around them.

Thoroughly soak the sand at the first
watering, in order that no interstices be
left in the sand, and after this never
allow the bed to become dust-dry on the
one hand, or overwatered on the other.
Give the cuttings just sufficient water,
by sprinkling overhead once or twice
daily in bright weather, to keep the
wood plump, and no more. In a cool
greenhouse, lath or canvas hoHse, or even
in a partly shaded position outdoors, the

cuttings will be rooted in about five
weeks, more or less, as the weather is
cool or warm. Never allow the cuttings
to make much root in the sand, but pot
them into 2-inch pots as soon as the
roots are about half an inch in length.
Pot them firmly in moderately heavy
soil, shade them for a few days and in-
crease the light and air when' they have
taken to the shift. Eepot into the 3-inch
or 31^-inch pots as the roots are feeling
the sides of the pots, and again press
the soil firmly. Pinch the growths to
insure a low, bushy habit, and the
plants will be ready for setting out in
from five to eight weeks, according to
the weather.

While these baby roses are often
grown in poor, light soil, it is not by any
means the best for them. To produce
flowers of good color and substance, a
fairly heavy, or loamy, soil is best.
Light, sandy soils may be improved by
the addition of marl or clay, or even
road edgings or scrapings, and well de-
cayed cow manure, but the soil with a

good, substantial texture is far better.
An open position in the full sun is best
for growing the plants and early in the
season no shade is needed. But later
in the year, when the sun is more pow-
erful, a light shading of cheesecloth,
lath or other material must be given, or
the flowers will open too rapidly and be
deficient in color and substance. The
shade should be applied when the buds
are showing and before they are fully
grown, and should be maintained until
all are cut, when it should be removed.
Allow the plants to finish their growth,
feeding and watering freely, and then
ripen and dry them off. After a month's
drying cut the plants back, using the
wood for cuttings if needed, and start
them up again. At least three distinct
crops may be grown this way in one
year and far better flowers produced
than under the haphazard way of plant-
ing and leaving them alone to shift for
themselves.

The foregoing remarks refer to the
bush form of Cecile Brunner, which is
the one used principally for cutting. The
climbing form, which is greatly superior
as a garden rose, should have the wood
selected as advised for the bush form,
but heavier, stouter growths, cut into
longer pieces, are better. The usual cus-
tom in the trade is to tie these in bun-
dles of about twenty-five and stand
them on end in trays of sand, covering
the lower two inches or so and placing
the trays in a cool place. When the cut-
tings are calloused they are planted in
nursery rows about six inches apart.
They root readily and make fine plants
the first year. They should be lifted

in November and either potted or
planted in permanent positions. The
growth of long, vigorous shoots should
be encouraged, this wood well ripened
and all small, weak wood cut out in
spring. The long shoots will produce
flowering laterals along their entire
growth and make a magnificent display.
It should be noted that the climbing
form flowers only once a year, in quan-
tity, though on large old plants there
are always a few blooms showing. The
bush variety is practically perpetual in
flowering.

Grown under glass, Cecile Brunner is
one of the most profitable of all roses,
as it is practically immune from all in-
sect pests, never mildews and never fails
to give a good account of itself at flow-
ering time. Here in California, at least,
it is not subject to checks from fluctua-
tions in temperatures, as are other roses.

Whether or not this is the case in the
east I am unaware.

This variety stands plenty of feeding
and should be kept going continually
until the plants are becoming exhausted,
when their places should be taken by
young stock prepared in time for the
purpose. A thorough renewal of the
soil on the beds or benches should be
made as for other varieties, as either
indoors or outdoors the best flowers can
only be produced by careful and liberal
culture and good soil.

has been insistent and regular. There
have been quite a number of social
affairs and our most prominent retailers
say they are well booked with future
orders. In addition there has been a
good demand for funeral work, and
with Thanksgiving looming ahead there
is every prospect of a good season.
Really good chrysanthemums are scarce,
a few fine Appleton blooms being the
best offering in yellows. Good bronzes
are hardly obtainable and pinks are
scarcer than whites. Dahlias and
gladioli are losing out, but still are
quite a factor in the market.

In roses there are plenty of medium
grades and some fine long stock of Rus-
sell, Prima Donna, Milady and Ophelia.
Good Beauties are scarce, but better
things are promised shortly. Plants are
beginning to make a show, cyclamens
and begonias especially. Asparagus
plumosus is scarcer, but other greens
are about equal to the demand. Quite
a number of fairly good palms and
extra good ferns are being offered.

Various Notes.

The closing days of the Broadway
flower show, though not so crowded as
the earlier ones, were most interesting,
as new exhibits were added. But it
was quite apparent that a 4-day show
is quite long enough; things drag a
little at the end when a whole week
is given. Among the later arrivals at
the show was a grand exhibit of palms,
cycads and similar plants, finely ar-
ranged by William Hertrich, superin-
tendent at the Huntington estate. The
Broadway Florists sent a magnificent
basket of Jeanne Nonin chrysanthe-
mums, which was arranged with yellow
ribbon and the bronze foliage of the
Oregon grape. Wright's flower shop
had a charmingly arranged basket as a
table centerpiece and Wolfskills' &
Morris Goldenson exhibited an Amer-
ican flag made of white and red carna-
tions and blue cornflowers.

The L. A. Floral Co. has been show-
ing fine Beauties grown outdoors in Ari-
zona. The flowers are good and the
stems about twenty-four to thirty
inches long. I also noted some of the
finest Appleton mums that have been
sent to the market this season.

Among the orchids shown at Wright 's
Flower Shop last week were some beau-
tiful specimen blooms of Odontoglossum
grande.

The staff at J. W. Wolters' store has
been busy with decorations for parties
and other social functions, and there is
a sheaf of orders on file for future
work.

George Eischen, of Ocean Park, ap-
pears frequently at the market in
search of stock and says that, while
business is not quite as rushing as it
was earlier in the season, he has noth-
ing to complain of and is looking for
a big crop of eastern tourists this year.

Good sales of baskets, ribbons and
all kinds of sundries and supplies are
reported by S. Murata & Co. Ship-
ments of orchids as well as the local
demand have also been on the up grade.
Consistent care in handling the better
grades of stock has built up a fine out-
of-town trade.

Darling's Flower Shop is a boisy
place these days, funeral work of the
better class being plentiful. Several
good wedding orders have been on the
cards of late. There have been no
christening orders, but Wallace Boyd

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The chrysanthemum situation has
many angles at present. The California
Flower Market has been running a
growers' pool and has refused thus far
to make any price concessions. This
has kept local prices high, which is a
source of satisfaction to the retailers,
as it has kept the street peddlers from
buying first-class stock at reduced fig-
ures. On the other hand, it has made
it impossible to market the surplus
stock at a profit in the east since the
crop has begun to come in from other
localities. The Japanese undertook to
ship the surplus to Chicago on consign-
ment when it could no longer be han-
dled by the independent shippers at
the prices paid earlier in the season,
but the warm weather and arrival of
heavy supplies from other directions
broke the market there, so the venture
did not prove so profitable as was
hoped. Some of the independent ship-
pers are of the opinion that it would
have been more satisfactory all around
had the growers' pool let them handle
the surplus at prices warranted by the
condition of the eastern markets. They
figure they could have then continued
to ship to their regular customers on
definite orders, thus providing a wider
distribution than was possible by the
stock being shipped in quantity to Chi-
cago alone.

There has been some frost, which has
about put an end to outdoor stock, but
a few gladioli and dahlias still are of-
fered, as well as a few scattering lots
of cosmos, scabiosas, stocks, etc. Vio-

lets are extremely fine, the quality be-

nations shovsf better quality and the cut
is larger than last week, with prices
holding up fairly well in view of the
strong demand. Eoses clean up well in
face of strong competition with chrys-
anthemums. The rose supply has been
kept back somewhat during the last
week by cool wind, which made it impos-
sible to keep the greenhouses warm.
Other greenhouse stock shows the effect
also, orchids being quite scarce again.
There is no valley at present and none
of the growers will have any for some
time, it is reported. In potted stock
good cinerarias are offered and cycla-

Joseph's Closes Second Year.

November 16 Joseph's, on Grant ave-
nue, celebrated its second anniversary
in the flower business, having achieved
a degree of success which many old
hands at the trade believed impossible
and which is indeed remarkable for so
short a space of time. The growth in
popularity of this establishment seems
the more surprising owing to the fact
that B. M. Joseph, the proprietor, had
no former experience in the flower trade.
Mr. Joseph is a thorough-going depart-
ment store man, with twenty years of
experience in one of the leading estab-
lishments of San Francisco. His spe-
cialty is art goods, of which he has long
been an expert connoisseur and col-
lector, making frequent trips abroad.
His store, in fact, is unique in the strik-
ing and attractive combination of fine
art novelties with flower decorations
and it is this which has especially ap-
pealed to local society people and vis-
itors alike.

Largely contributory to the success,
also, has been the efficient corps of as-
sistants, headed by Frederic C. Ber-
trand, whose position as salaried man-
ager of a large retail flower store is
unique in the local trade. Mr. Bertrand
entered the business in San Francisco
as a street peddler twenty-five years
ago, working up through various posi-
tions to a thorough knowledge of the
flower end of the business. His former
work included orchid collecting in the
Philippines and other tasks requiring
considerable ability.

An important matter with Joseph 's
is the determination to originate, not
follow; and this idea is carefully car-
ried out in art goods as well as in
floral designs and combinations of the
two. This is carried even to the plain
baskets, few stock designs being pur-
chased. Five skilled artists are steadily
employed in originating novelties, aside
from the large quantity of material
picked up and adapted by Mr. Joseph.

Entering on its third holiday season,
Joseph 's is doing a larger business than
ever and the outlook for this enter-
prising concern certainly is bright.

While C. W. Ward, of the Cottage

town last week on a short visit, he had
as his guests at luncheon one day at the

ditions are favorable in Humboldt

The E. W. McLellan Co. has added
extra help in its store for the winter
season, in view of the prospects for a
heavy shipping business. At present
violets, Cecile Brunner roses and greens
are the principal items going forward.
This company has a tremendous cut of
Ophelia and has a nice crop of gar-

Mrs. R. E. Darbee says she had been
unusually busy shipping flowers east
until last week, when the demand fell
off somewhat owing to the heavy arri-
vals from other sources. She looks for
things to pick up soon, however. Mean-
while she has been doing much deco-

Review of September 14), the secre-

The Market.

Market conditions remain practically
unchanged, with plenty of good stock
and a good market for it. Retail busi-
ness is good and there is more activity
in the way of home decorations for
parties, teas, weddings, etc., than ever
before. Funeral work is steady and to
be depended upon, though no particu-
larly large ones have been held re-
cently.

Various Notes.

A noteworthy trade event this month
was the grand opening of the remod-
eled store of the Hoyt Bros. Co. The
opening was held Saturday, November
4, and was attended by one of the larg-
est crowds that ever participated in a
store opening in this city. From the
number of favors and souvenirs given
away, it was estimated that close to
15,000 people visited the store during
the opening day. The store has been
almost completely rebuilt. There is st
new front, ceiling and floor. There are
no platforms or raised floors in the win-
dows, the displays being built up from
the same level as the store floor. The
new floor is of terrazzo, gray in color,
with red and black panel strips and
borders. S. Younkin, the manager of
the store and the man who planned
the unique arrangements, is to be con-
gratulated on the splendid results
achieved. L. B. H.

POBTI.AND, OEE.

The Market.

Followed by a prolonged uncertainty
as to its result, the election last week
had a depressing effect on the demand
for flowers and there was a slight fall-
ing off from the activity of the week
previous. Calls from out-of-town points
took all the surplus and a few mums
were shipped in from California. The
cut of roses has decreased so that,
after the local dealers are supplied,
there are few left to fill out-of-town
orders. Violets offered are nearly all
locally grown. Orchids . are being
shown in most of the stores.

Various Notes.

The Portland Floral Society will hold
its annual ladies' night Tuesday, No-
vember 21, in the Masonic Temple.
There will be entertainments, a ban-
quet and social features. A short busi-
ness meeting will be held before the
entertainments. Members and their
families, and employees and their fam-
ilies will be welcomed.

to follow the Chrysanthemum crop. No other flower will pay better. You will
have fine flowers from January until late in spring. All progressive florists
have abandoned growing tbe late Spencer and are making now four times as
much money with this early-flowering type, not only for inside but for out-
side planting. If sown in October and November they will bloom two to three
months eariier; if sown outdoors they will bloom three to four weeks earlier
than tbe late Spencers, producing more and better flowers and keeping the buds
during the most rainy weather. We have a limited quantity of the following
varieties to offer at reduced prices:

PINK AND WHITE ORCHID, WHITE ORCHID, MRS. A. A.
SKACH. ORCHID BEAUTY, rose; LAVENDER ORCHID, lavender
pink; MISS FL. FARING, Yarrawa color. This lot will contain about two
to five per cent of the late hybrids of the same color and for late planting they
are of more value than the re-selected varieties of the same names.

GOLD MEDAL MIXTURE.

This is made up of about fifty distinct varieties, evenly balanced to each
color. It contains almost every variety in commerce, including this year's and
next year's novelties, all of the Winter Orchid type only. Last year we sold over
90,000 packets to private gardeners and retail florists. In semi-tropical coun-
tries they have been blooming all winter. In cooler climate, if sown early in
spring they bloom in May, three to four weeks earlier. Florists who keep
a seed counter should have this steadily on hand, ready for their customers.
Sold only in one size packets. Each packet contains sufficient seed to plant
30 to 40 feet of row.

Prices: 1 pkt., 25c; 100 pkts., $12.00; 1000 pkts., $100.00.

Bulletins for nurserymen on the use
of sodium cyanide as a fumigant are
being issued from the office of G. M.
Bentley, state entomologist of Tennes-
see, at Knoxville. Kules with regard to
the shipping of cyanide are included in
tbe pamphlet. Sodium cyanide as a fumi-
gant instead of hydrocyanic acid gas is
recommended by Mr. Bentley, who says
that sodium cyanide costs less, is less
troublesome, less dangerous and gives
equally good results.

them out in nursery rows. Leave only
the tops of the cuttings above the
ground; soak with water and tamp the
soil about them hard. If you can give
them some water for a few weeks, the
percentage of rooted cuttings will be
greater. Keep the soil between the
rows well cultivated. Spring cuttings
planted in the same way will root fairly
well, provided they are watered or that
we have a damp spring and summer.

The Market.

Three weeks have passed since the
last report, and they have been busy
as well as eventful ones. There is an
abundance of good stock of all kinds
and the demand has been heavy. Koses
are as good as any I have ever seen
at this time of year — a decided relief
after an all-summer run of poor roses.
Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty are doing
better than they did last season, and
that is going some. At a recent fu-
neral I saw a large design composed of
Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses that
was the richest piece of work I ever
saw made of roses. Red Radiance con-
tinues to make a name for itself and
some predict that, instead of being
grown in small quantities for trial, it
will have liberal bench space next year.
Baby Doll and George Elger are having
a good run this season and bid fair to
have a permanent place in the hearts
of Nashville's flower-loving public.
Baby Doll is especially liked.

Carnations are good at present and
are plentiful, but we have noticed few
new things. However, they are selling
well, as usual. This is a carnation city,
anyway. Bulbs have been selling ex-
ceptionally well this fall, especially
Darwin tulips. Tulips have never been
really popular here, as the season is so
■hort for the old varieties. Darwins,
however, gradually have won a place

Various Notes.

The sudden death of T. C. Joy, head
of the Joy Floral Co., which is reported
in this week 's obituary column, brought
sorrow to the fraternity here. Mr. Joy
was one of the few who believed that,
though his competitor, a man also could
be his friend.

Daniel Mclntyre, senior member of
the firm of Mclntyre Bros., last week
was in a most critical condition with a
bad case of cancer. He was cheerful in

the face of the knowledge that his life
could only be counted by days at the
best. Last week he called his many
friends to his bedside and gave them
his parting message.

Leslie Littel has employed E. Mc-
Elvery, a grower from the Battle Creek
Sanitarium greenhouses, for the coming
year. He is planning to enlarge his
greenhouses and business.

Last week I visited the Mount Olivet
greenhouses for the first time in sev-

eral months. The management is cut-
ting down its commercial work and
hereafter will confine its energies to the
needs of the cemetery.

Geny Bros, have had a heavy run of
business of late. Their mums are ex-
ceptionally good this season.

The Dutch bulb salesmen are abroad
in our land again this fall. They are
talking high prices and scarcity of
bulbs next year, but they apparently
are getting few orders. F. B.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

The Market.

Business is most satisfactory, with
an ample supply of stock of all kinds
on hand. Social activities have started
rather earlier than usual this season and
there are indications that they will con-
tinue with a busy whirl for several
months to come. Chrysanthemums of
all varieties and sizes are in supply
slightly in excess of the demand, with
a consequent shading of prices. Provi-
dence has not yet acquired the taste for
extra fancy single blooms and rarely is
a customer found who will pay more
than $2 or $2.50 per dozen.

Various Notes.

Albert Holscher is showing at his
greenhouses one of the choicest lines of
chrysanthemums ever seen hereabouts,
notwithstanding that his sales have
been exceptionally large.

A large automobile truck smashed
through the plate glass display window
of the Quality Flower Store, 144 Main
street, Pawtucket, recently, causing
about $150 damage to window and

The Market.

Taken as a whole, business is rather
poor. The demand for stock is good
only at times, while the market has an
oversupply of every seasonable item.
Roses are excellent and are in ex-
tremely heavy supply. Carnations, too,
are too plentiful. The less said about
the chrysanthemum situation the bet-
ter. Mums are going through one of
the worst gluts this market has ever
had at this time of the year. Orchids,
valley and sweet peas find a fair mar-
ket. Paper White narcissi are not sell-
ing any too well. Easter lilies and
(•alias are plentiful. Smilax is again in
good supply.

Various Notes.

During the last fortnight E. A. Fortcr
j;avc a chrysanthemum show at his new
store. The attendance was large and
justified the efforts Mr. Forter made.

The E. G. Hill Floral Co. gave its an-
nual chrysanthemum show at its store
at the close of last week. Needless to
say, the fine show blooms from Rich-
mond, Ind., attracted the crowds.

C. E. Critchell has been having a
good call for his boxwood.

William Taylor, of Pine Hill, has
been sending some excellent Chadwick
mums to the market.

The regular meeting of the Cincin-
nati Florists' Society was held Novem-
ber 13 at Hotel Gibson. ^Resolutions
on the death of Henry Schwarz were
adopted. President Schumann ap-
pointed a preliminary flower show con
mittee, which is to prepare plans for
a flower show next fall and/make its
report at the December meeting.

Among recent visitors were G. M.
Bird and daughter, of Sidney, O.; G. W.
Friach, of Dayton, O.; Joseph Hill, of

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBEB 10, 1916.

SOBANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business during the last week has
been good in all lines. The bright
weather made the chrysanthemums ad-
vance so rapidly that the growers will
have all they can do to hold them for
Thanksgiving. So far a heavy call for
mums has kept them from a glut. Koses
of all varieties are plentiful, with
Hoosier Beauty and Prima Donna prov-
ing the best sellers. Carnations are
picking up in quality and increasing
in quantity.

A few violets are seen in several
stores, but the call for them has been
indifferent. Bulbs for fall planting are
selling well, with the quality good.

Funeral work was slack the first part
of the week, but seemed to pick up
later. Counter trade has been good
with all the stores. Greens of all kinds
are plentiful, except good green and
bronze galax.

Various Notes.

A visit to the Anton Schultheis green-
houses found everything looking well.
The mums are the finest that I have
seen this season. I make special men-
tion of Mr. Schultheis' Turner and Col.
Appleton, both for size of flower and
length of stem. Mr. Schultheis has add-
ed two new houses to his range this
fall.

Muir & Co. report a busy week in fu-
neral and counter trade. Their windows
are always attractive-looking. Mrs.
M. Muir is able to be around again,
after a week 's illness.

F. J. Moran has severed his connec-
tion with G. R. Clark and has accepted
a position with Muir & Co.

G. R. Clark reports a heavy call for
bulbs and a busy week with funeral
work.

Private growers held a chrysanthe-
mum show November 10. There were
some fine specimen blooms exhibited.
The Misses Schultheis, A. L. Besancon,
Anton Schultheis and G. R. Clark acted
as judges.

The svmpathy of the trade is extend-
ed to Giles Clark on the death of his
wife and to Charles Cluter, grower for
.T. W. Beagle, on the death of Mrs.
Cluter.

Morris M. Cohen, of New York, was
in the city last week with a big line of
ribbons and went away with a book of
orders.

C. A. Baldwin reports business good.
He is cutting fine mums, carnations,
snapdragons and lilies, for which he
finds a ready call.

A number of retailers have entered
their windows in the window-trimming
contest which is being held by the
Scranton Advertising Club. F. J. M.

Des Moines, la. — A fire in the green-
house owned by August Carlson recently
caused heavy damage to the growing
stock.

Tlie Market.

Flowers are plentiful and prices as a
rule reasonable. Chrysanthemums are
in their prime, the blooms being large,
perfect and of good color. There is a
good demand for the large fellows, the
pompons and potted plants. Carnations
of excellent quality are arriving, but
there is a comparatively small demand
for them on account of the mum 's prom-
inence. The same thing applies to a
small number of sweet peas and other
flowers. Roses are plentiful and the
prices are about right.

Various Notes.

A large number of entries were made
at the flower show held under the au-
ispices of the Essex County Florists'
Club in the Palace ballroom November
13, 14 and 15. All of the leading
growers of Essex county and a number
of retailers had exhibits. Besides these
there were exhibits from other New
Jersey growers and from New York and
Philadelphia supply houses. Music was
furnished both afternoons and evenings.

McLaughlin & Murphy report that
their October business exceeded that
of October of last year, and that No-
vember is starting out well.

George Muller states that he has had
considerable funeral work. Although
there were a few dull days at election
time, business has been quite satisfac-
tory during the last few weeks.

James Rose says that business opened
up rather slowly this fall, but that it
now is improving. R. B. M.

ABOUT BOILEB COMPOUNDS.

Will you kindly give ua some advice
as to the selection of a good boiler com-
pound? One of our engineers is desir-
ous of using coal oil, but we are some-
what skeptical about its effects, never
having heard of its being used as a
boiler compound. Do you know any-
thing about it! What compound do you
consider the best? C. W. D. — la.

Especially when none of the pre-
pared boiler compounds is readily avail-
able, coal oil (kerosene) is often used
and it gives satisfactory results, not
only in the boiler itself but in the heat-
ing coils, where it lessens oxidation.
About one pint per month is used for a
50-horsepower boiler, and the same pro-
portion in larger and smaller boiler's.

Another material which serves the
same purpose, and which is readily ob-
tainable, is sal soda. One pound of
this may be dissolved in a gallon of
water and used in a SO-horsepower
boiler. It will cause the water to foam
and after four or five days the boiler
should be thoroughly washed out.

The various proprietary boiler com-
pounds on the market are quite similar
in their composition and differ but lit-
tle in value. We would use the brand
carried by the nearest dealer in ma-
chine supplies.

KANSAS CITY.

The IMarket.

The market was heavily stocked with
cut flowers last week. Every effort was
made by the wholesalers to dispose of
the large receipts and the quantity of
flowers sold was surprising, few of
them going to the dump. This week
will see a difference in the supply of
stock, as some of the growers have
practically cut all their mums. Prices
on all cut flowers were low during the
week; large mums and pompons were
more plentiful than ever before in this
market.

is bis Btrong line and has been for
years.

The Elmhurst Nurseries are occupied
with an unusually large amount of
landscape work, especially in the south-
west part of the city.

Biedermann & Son had a good week
in decorations. They have cleaned up
on all of their mums.

At Walter Heite's place there still
are plenty of mums to be cut, but
nothing is being wasted. So far the
sweet peas there are looking fine.

GABDENEBS TO MEET.

President W. N. Craig, of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners, has ap-
pointed the following committee on con-
vention publicity: George W. Hess,
Washington, D. C; William Kleinheinz,
Ogontz, Pa.; David Fraser, Pittsburgh,
Pa.; Eobert Cameron, Cambridge,
Mass.; John Canning, Ardsley, N. Y.;
P. W. Popp, Mamaroneck, N. Y.;

The convention will be held in Wash-
ington, D. C, December 5 and 6 and
in addition to an interesting program,
entertainment of the visiting members
has not been overlooked. There is to
be an auto trip through the park system
of Washington, a visit to the White
House, the Capitol, the various depart-
ment buildings and to the country es-
tate of George Washington at Mount
Vernon. A large attendance both from
the east and west is looked for.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

Business last week was good, according
to reports, but some of the florists add
that it was not a walkaway by any
means. Fine, topnotch cut flowers are
to be had, the rose oflFerings including
Milady, Killnrncy, Richmond and Cecile
Brunner, with the prices ranijing from
$2 to $8 per hundred. p]xcellent Ophelia
roses come to the market an<i fin<l a ready
sale for their loveliness. Splendid Amer-
ican Beauties, tliongh h\<yh as to price,
sell well. Easter lilies are in weak sup-
ply and the prices are stifif. Valley con-
tinues inadequate to meet reqiiiiements,
which wore many last week. Violets of
good quality arrive in fair quantities.

Pompons and the big fellows may be
had in countless vaiictios and in any
color. But there is a big demand for
them and prices are good. Good cycla-
mens and primroses, while a trifle early,
enjoy a good sale. The Boston fern is
selling remarkably well and some of the
growers, realizing the good market in
Minneapolis for this plant, are devoting
much space to it.

The greenhouses connected with the
cemeteries have been busy clearing the
graves of all plants, etc. These have
remained out as long as possible, but
the cold days now have put an end
to them. There has been much shrub
planting done this fall.

If the circulation in your heating coils isn't absolutely
free, a "Detroit" System will overcome the trouble.

The "Detroit" System removes the condensation from
the pipes — whether abov« or below the water level in
the boiler — and automatically returns it to the boiler.

A more efficient heating system and lowered fuel bill
result.

Better investigate. As a starter ask for "Watch your

At the park board greenhouses the
annual chrysanthemum show has taken
place. Great crowds viewed the fine
stock of chrysanthemums shown. The
members of the Florists' Club visited
the greenhouses Thursday, November 9,
having received an invitation from Su-
perintendent Wirth.

The Whitted Floral Co. has been
fairly busy, but reports no great
rush of work just yet. The men have
had many tables to decorate for lunch-
eons, clubs, etc.

The Johnson Co. is increasing its
business by leaps and bounds. The store
is splendidly located and with good
stock, good services and right prices the
company is bound to prosper.

Many of the florists are busily mak-
ing magnolia wreaths, for which there
is a large demand at all times here.

Much improvement is going on at the
Lake Street Florist Shop. A larger
stock is kept and the proprietor is mak-
ing a good bid for bigger business.

Gentlemen : Please send me 25 record plates

the machine, bought a good many years back,
is keeping up its good work right along. I think
it a very useful adjunct to good plant growing,

changes, is practically indestructible. Record
charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and
the whole mechanism is contained in an attractive

the record from being tampered with.

everything about the instrument is up to the high-

WORCESTER, MASS.

The Market.

Retail trade has been increasing late-
ly and the approach of winter increases
business. Mums are plentiful and sin-
gles and pompons are much in vogue.
Roses"^ numerous and violets are in-
creasing \ in volume. The florists all
look foif^ big Thanksgiving business
and are preparing for it.

Various Notes.

The latter part of the week H. F. A.
Lange 's windows displayed the pom-
pons which received a silver medal at
the chrysanthemum show. Mr. Lange
has a fine showing of cyclamens and
begonias for Thanksgiving.

Harry I. Randall, proprietor of Ran-
dall 's Flower Shop, reports business
good. He is receiving fine roses from
the Waban Rose Conservatories.

William Luby, formerly with H. F. A.
Lange, has gone into business with Mr.
Estabrook, a grower here. They bought
out the Fisher store and had their open-
ing last week. Many congratulations
were sent them and as a souvenir they
gave all who visited them a carnation.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

The monthly meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
at Glen Cove Wednesday, November 9,
President James MacDonald presiding.
The main feature of the evening was
the competition by assistant gardeners
for the best table decoration. James
Halloway, Samuel Trepass and Daniel
Coughlin, who were appointed judges,
awarded first prize to James Waite,
second to George Ford and third to
Arnold Gattiker.

The other exhibits were of chrysan-
themums, and John Johnstone, Joseph
Adler and Frank Watson were appointed
to judge these classes. They awarded
first prize to James McCarthy for
three white chrysanthemums and first
for three yellow; certificate of culture
to John Dombrowski for a vase of a sin-
gle chrysanthemum, Emma, and honor-
able mention for a vase of a seedling
anemone, with the recommendation
that it be shown again. After the
meeting a smoker was held. Next
month the annual meeting will be held
and election of officers will take place.

Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to. use
as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables.

That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer-
tilizers, knowing they always get the very best.

Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than
other brands, because —

They are manufactured solely from Animal Blood, Animal
Fr Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus
is the make-weight, or filler.

The Market.

Business is better than normal and
it may be expected that prices will
have an upward tendency, as there has
been a slight decrease in the supply of
stock. Good quality prevails in all
items, with mums still holding the cen-
ter of the stage. Lilies are scarce; the
same applies to green goods.

Various Notes.

Lewis Henderson says that his roses
are coming along finely. "Looie, " as
nearly everyone calls him, was busy
last week paying off his election bets.

Stewart's Seed Store was the first in
the market with Paper Whites. This
concern does a tremendous business in
retailing bulbs of all kinds. The bulbs
arrived late this year and a heavy
trade in them was not looked for, but
the sales exceeded expectations and the
stock has been well cleaned up.

The writer made his annual fall tour
of the Council Bluffs greenhouses No-
vember 12 and was much surprised at
the quantity of quality stock to be
seen, both in cut flowers and vegeta-
bles. The first stop was at the Herman
Bros. Co. place. There the roses and
carnations are in fine shape, with pros-
pects for a heavy Christmas crop. The
mums are of good quality — those that
remain, as not many late varieties are
grown. The Gerber Greenhouses are de-
voted to lettuce. Mr. Gerber is a be-
ginner in the business, but what he
has accomplished so far does him credit.
The J. F. Wilcox & Sons establishment
was the next stop. Their fifty odd
houses, devoted chiefly to roses, car-
nations and mums, never looked bet-
ter. Little space is given to pot plants,
but those to be seen were of the best.
The next and last stop was at the es-
tablishment of the genial and ever-
hustling Fred Lainson. The first house
examined contained cukes, and Fred
certainly may be proud of them. The
mums are grown by a different method
than at most places. Instead of plant-
ing them closely and growing one or
two blooms to a plant, Mr. I^ainson
gives them more space and has four to
eight flowers on each plant. His car-
nations are fine, as well as his sweet
peas. L. S. H.

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Counter trade was excellent last
week, but funeral work was light. The
warm temperatures last week brought
chrysanthemums into the market in
many varieties. Pompon and single
chrysanthemums are more popular this
year than ever before. The supply of
American Beauties is good in medium
grades, but the stock in the finer grades
is scarce. Koses and carnations are in
good supply.

Single violets are abundant. The
supply of double varieties is not large
enough to reckon with. Calla lilies
are in large supply and Easter lilies
are equal to the demand. Valley is
in moderate supply. Cattleyas are plen-
tiful.

Association Meeting.

The second meeting of the newly or-
ganized Fort Wayne Florists' Associa-
tion wasJield Wednesday evening, No-
vember 8, at the Flick Floral Co. store.
Miss Rhoda Doswell, of the Doswell
Floral Co., presided as temporary chair-
man. The election of officers was held,

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

The market last week surely was a
buyers' market. The conditions were
not so healthy as they might have been,
but, on the whole, prices were fair and
stock was disposed of in large quanti-
ties. Chrysanthemums were especially
plentiful, as both the early and late
varieties were in the market at the
same time. Some fine Chieftain and
White Chieftain mums, as well as some
elegant blooms of Turner, were to be
had at reasonable prices. Bonnaffons
also were in good supply and there was
an abundance of bunch mums in the
market. Considering the large crop,
the daily cut was well taken care of
and there was comparatively little sur-
plus.

Carnations are plentiful and their
quality is good. Owing to the large
supply of mums, this stock did not
move-so well last week, and prices were
somewhat lower. The rose cut dropped
off to a great extent and there was a
shortage of this stock felt all around.
Mrs. Russell, Ward and Ophelia roses
were in greatest demand and conse-
quently were the hardest to obtain.
The quality of the stock is good, how-
ever, and fair prices are being realized.

Orchids are in sufficient supply to
meet the demand and the stock is in
fine shape. Lilies are plentiful but
selling well, while valley remains scarce
and of only medium quality.

Business was rather lethargic last
week, but we have hdd a few cold days
that should help general conditions
quite a bit.

Various Notes.

Mr. Schiller, of the Schiller Flower
Shop, 1044 Twenty-seventh street, has
been ill at his home for about three
weeks. Mr. Schiller underwent an opera-
tion some time ago and his present ill-
ness seems to be of the same character
as that which culminated in the opera-
tion. He is reported to be convalescing
slowly and probably will be on the mar-
ket in a week or so. H. J. S.

Greenwood, Ind. — After a successful
season with asters, Mrs. Fred Rose has
decided to erect a greenhouse and try
her hand at growing stock under glass.

One-third More Plants

From one of our customers, S. A.
McCallcy. of Colorado Olty, Colo., we
have the followloff:

"Another point of great merit in
your System over the old way is that
I can get one-third more plants on
the land tlian the old way, as I can
plant every foot of it, while the old
way takes a lot of land, for furrows
and ditches to carry the water. It
Is much easier to start plants under

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Beauties in all grades are plentiful.
They clear well, although there could
be more snap in their sale. Other roses
now are at their best, but they seem to
lag a trifle. The best roses anyone
could wish for sell at a most reasonable
figure. Carnations, which previously
were scarce and much in demand, now
are more plentiful and of excellent
quality, but they do not clear with a
rush. Easter lilies have been much in
demand and are clinging to the scarce
side.

Mums and pompons are in extremely
heavy supply and the demand is not
great enough to clear them. Valley
and orchids are in more even supply
than before. Violets continue to clear
daily, both the single and double va-
rieties. Some excellent snapdragons reach
the market, but the supply is rather
erratic. Sweet peas, too, are to be had
occasionally.

Various Notes,

John Dunlop, of Toronto, was in
town last week for a short visit. F. G.
Nelson, of the Burlington Willow Ware
Shops, Burlington, la., also was a recent
visitor.

More than 20,000 people attended the
first annual flower show of Buffalo,

Schultz also supplied 3,000 carnations
to the celebrant, and these were dis-
tributed as souvenirs. At the Schultz

thing in topnotch order.

liam Turner and Odessa are being
offered.

Business has been good and Novem-
ber sales :io far show a good increase
over those of last year for the same
period.

Various Notes.

The C. W. Crouch Co. has been ex-
ceedingly busy of late, and, with the
exception of valley and orchids, it has
had an abundant supply of stock. The
men are cutting large quantities of fine
chrysanthemums.

The following salesmen called on the
trade last week: Kobert Shoch, repre-
senting the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia;
Albert P. Stevens, of the Hubbs &
Corning Co., Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs.
Haeger, of the W, F. Haeger Floral Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn., were visitors in
Knoxville November 10 and 11.

Many here were shocked to hear of
the sudden death of Thomas C. Joy, of
Nashville. Mr. Joy was well known and
highly esteemed by florists here. He
had on several occasions been a guest
at meetings of tlie Knoxville Florists'
Society. In his death we feel that the
south loses one of its best florists and
citizens. R. E, M.

INSECTS ON SNAPDRAGONS.

Can you tell us the trouble with the
enclosed snapdragon The variety is
Keystone and the plants are growing in
the same bench with Nelrose and
Phelps' White, but these varieties are
not affected in any way. There were
some chinch bugs in the house, but if
these are the cause of the trouble it
seems as if the other varieties would
be affected in the same way.

L. C. S. & S.— N. Y.

This looks like the work of either
chinch bugs or grasshoppers, more prob-
ably the latter. If they trouble you
another season, it will be well to use a
poisonous spray, such as arsenate of
lead, to check them. This whitens the
foliage, but will clean out the pests. I
do not imagine you will have any
further trouble this season. I would
advise pinching back affected plants
well. C. W.

A SELECTION OF PHLOXES.

What would be the best selection of
six varieties of hardy phloxes, consid-
ering color and habit f

G. E. Y.— Okla.

My choice as to the best selection of
hardy phloxes would be as follows:
Albion, white; Thor, pink; Antonin
Mercie, lilac; Europa, pink and white
combination; Rheinlandor, red, and
Riverton .Jewel, pink. These we con-
sider the best growers, best in their re-
spective colors and in hardiness.

RE-GLAZING
A HEAVY EXPENSE

wfi

Do you know, Mr. Greenhouse Man, that cypress is a wood that holds "glazing poiifts"^ better
than any other kind of wood that is being used in greenhouse construction? It is a fact, and
while a "glazing point" is a small matter (taken by itself), the reglazing proposition is an
important one in your industry. When re-glazing comes too often it becomes a source of heavy
expense. Cypress is the wood that helps to keep down this recurrent item.

So, too, with putty; cypress takes putty kindly and holds it perfectly. ,No other greenhouse
wood operates so well with putty to hold the glass fitted in.

Vol. 3, CYPRESS Pocket Library, tells a lot about greenhouse construction; Vols. 4, 20, 36 and 37 are for
the farmfer. They contain plans for all out-buildings, and they are absolutely free. There are 42 of these
books, and you would better help yourself to them. y

it really does not matter how large the ventilator is —

it is the opening that counts. The AGMCO device is so
designed as to make each size of sash do its full duty.
Frequently you find a large ventilating sash equipped with
a lifter incapable of opening it more than one-fourth
of the way. This is wrong.

Now, in the AGMCO the weight of the sash cannot
cause the machine to gain speed when it is being low-
ered. You can spin the hand wheel without fear of results.
There will be no slip— no crash of shattered glass— no
lifters pulled off.

Here's your strong meat I The AGMCO is built
to last. Constructed of the most durable material;
once installed, it will last a lifetime.

Arrange now to make the AGMCO ventilating
machine one of the great conveniences of your plant.
Get acquainted today with the cost of installing it
in your new plant.

PIPE FRAME GREENHOUSES

f

FURNISHED BY US FOR ZORN & GAERTNER. SAQINAW, MICH.

Here we have a very nice vegetable greenhouse establishment started only a few years ago and thriving won-
derfully. The owners started with only two 28 feet wide houses, but they looked into the future and arranged mat-
ters so that more houses could easily be added.

These are our standard type of construction with the "Bolted Thru the Pipe" fittings used on all supporting
members. This is the construction upon which we received a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT at the Boston Convention.

If you are thinking of building this is a good time to acquaint yourself
with the subject. Better write for estimates and sketches, they are free.

SERIOUS BUSINESS OF BUYING

You know that fast rules for ventilating greenhouses
are not possible. There is probably more variation than
in any other business.

We believe that you will find it a most valuable aid in
purchasing from a reliable firm with experience, that
will do better work at no higher cost, and avoid dis-
appointments and delays in getting your houses completed.

We will be pleased to mail our
catalogue on request.

By Their Gables You Can Know Them

MUCH loosening of
glass is caused by
weak gables.

Wind thrust against the
gable, unless rigid, is trans-
ferred to the entire house.

Rigid gables mean a
framing expense that many
builders cut out, to cut down
costs.

If a grower can't see that
it's for the good of his busi-
ness to have our gable con-
struction, constructed the
way we have exactly proven
it should be constructed,
then we can't do business

In houses \vi(ier than H> font, we usi; t\\o
extra deep rafters. On houses of extra width
of i-orrespondins heiglit. two lattice rafters
are us,''d in coiineftion with the usual Hat
iron ones. Xo back bracing is necessary.

together. We don't attempt
to tell a grower how to
grow. He has made a study
of it. It's his business. It's
not ours.

Doesn't it stand to reason
that having made a business
of greenhouse building for
over half a century, we
ought to know how they
ought to be built y

Building them that way,
we can stand back of every
one we build.

You take no risk. The
responsibility is all ours.

MAGNOLIA FACTS

QYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions.

QDye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

in prices since the war began,

as have also the paper cartons.
In spite of this, we are in posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnoha Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

iI.We {guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war, and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

CYou fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years,

CA macnolla leaf is only worth uslnB'if
It has been fully preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the teaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when you consid^ the poor value of these goods.

A PAGE FOR THE mt
AT ORCHID GROWERS

7s it because orchids have bloomed less freely than usual this season, or
is the demand this year so much greater than usual f At any rate, the
interest in orchids never was stronger, and growers and retailers will be
interested in these seasonable suggestions concerning popidar commercial
varieties.

O a good many florists,
especially in the stores,
the word orchid means
only one thing, the cat-
tleya, but there is a wide
increase in the popularity
of the spray orchids that
now are coming onto the
market* in larger and
larger quantities, and
which are found increasingly useful in
the better class of work, baskets, vases,
dinner table centerpieces, etc. Still,
Cattleya Trianse is the standard winter
cattleya and fills a longer season than
any other variety. A small proportion
of the plants usually are in hloom for
Christmas, while others will last until
the end of March.

Cattleyas for Christmas.

The buds are showing prominently in
the sheaths of many Trianae plants now
and in some cases have pushed through.
These latter should be in bloom for the
holidays. As cattleyas
bring a fancy price
at the Christmas season,
it will pay to get as
large a crop as possible
at that time. Hard forc-
ing of the plants is not
to be recommended, but
plants in the cool end
of the cattleya house
may be moved to the
warm end and placed
where they can get a
fair amount of sunshine.
Plants to be retarded
should go to the cool end
and be shaded.

It is possible to hoM
back a few of the late
C. labiata until Christ-
mas, but they must be
in a dry house. If placed
where it is cool and
moist, the flowers will
soon become spotted. 1
doubt whether it pays
to move cattleya plants
in flower at this season
from the house in which
they are growing. Cat-
tleya houses should be
well ventilated and fair-
ly dry, and at night the
minimum temperature
should not now be over
58 to 60 degrees. As
the plants pass out of
flower, keep them on the
dry side until new
growths and roots show

signs of starting, when any repotting
may be done.

The Sale of Seedlings.

Cattleya labiata promises soon to
become a scarce article in ihe markets.
All plants now arriving are small seed-
lings and the prices are constantly ad-
vancing. He who has the facilities
and will undertake to raise seedlings
of this indispensable fall variety will
make an excellent investment. In spite
of the almost innumerable hybrids
raised, none of them surpasses this va-
riety in floriferousness, in substance,
in size and in all-around commercial
properties.

Cattleya Percivaliana is a small cat-
tleya when compared with C. labiata
and C. Trianffi. It is free-blooming,
however, and is valuable because a
large number can be depended upon
to flower for Christmas. A year ago,
when C. Triana- was worth $9 to $\2
per dozen at wholesale, and even more,

Vase of the Spray Orchids of Increasing Popularity.

(Arranifetl by the Art Floral Co., San Francisco.)

C. Percivaliana readily made $6 per
dozen. Even if it can be sold at an
average through the season of $3, it
will pay the grower as well as the large
cattleyas, but it must be flowered early,
for when it is in competition with a
full crop of Trianffl the larger flowers
will invariably be selected. Give Per-
civaliana a warm, sunny spot for the
next few weeks, to advance it as much
as possible. Perhaps you may have
some nice 5-inch or 6-inch plants which
will be in good bloom for Christmas.
In such a case, if you chance to have
a call for choice pot plants, you may
be able to dispose of them.

Shade on Cattleyas.

We have reached a season when the
sun 's power is steadily declining, and
while it is just a little early to remove
all shade from cattleyas, the greater
part would better be removed. Let-
ting the plants have a good sunning
may make the foliage a little paler, but
it will harden the
growths and make them
bloom much more satis-
factorily. Plants in
flower or coming into
flower can easily be
given a location where
they will be protected
from the sun's rays.

The foliage on calan-
thes will now begin to
turn yellow as the flower
spikes advance. Now
that the bulbs are fully
made up, the use of
liquid manure must be
discontinued. Keep the
plants in a warm and
fairly moist house; 60
to ();■) degrees at night
will suit them nicely. As
the flowers begin to
open, let the plants have
somewhat cooler and
drier quarters. As ca-
lanthes are deciduous
when in flower, if the
plants are mixed with
adiantums to cover the
pots they will look much
more effective. Only a
moderate supply of
water now will be need-
ed, and when the flow-
ers are expanded none
will be needed at all.

At this season and for
some months to come,
cypripediums arc in the
heyday of their glory

14

The Florists' Review

NOTBHBEB 23, 1916.

They lack the gorgeousness of the cat-
tleyas and the grace of the oncidiums,
phalaenopsis and odontoglossums, and
do not carry such masses of flowers as
many of the dendrobiums, but they are
both charming and interesting, and
when it comes to keeping qualities no
other orchids at all approach them, with
the possible exception of lycastes and
cymbidiums.

Oypripedlum Insigne.

Cypripedium insigne, now coming
into season, still is the greatest of the
family commercially. The yellow sports,
like Sanderae, Laura Kimball, Sanderi-
anum, Ernestii, etc., are yearly becom-
ing more plentiful and will soon be-
come fairly common in the markets.
They bring at present, and probably al-
ways will bring, a considerably higher
price than the old type. Any florist
with a house which he can keep shaded,
moist and fairly close in winter can
grow most of the cypripediums well.
The old C, insigne is not at all a fussy
subject and will grow in any ordinary
greenhouse, succeeding finely outdoors
under trees through the summer. C.
Leeanum, villosum, Sallieri, aureum,
Lawrenceanum, Harrisianum superbum
and Spicerianum are all good commer-
cial cyps, obtainable at low prices. The
number of hybrids is legion, but their
prices in most cases are beyond the
average commercial purse.

Dendrobiums.

The nodes are now well advanced on
some of the earliest ripened plants of
Dendrobium nobile and D. Wardianum.
These have been kept for some time in
a sunny house, with a temperature of
50 degrees at night, and kept quite dry
at the root. Water is given sparingly
until it is seen that the nodes will pro-
duce flowers and not growths. All
dendrobiums of this type and many
hybrids should have a good resting
period to insure their flowering well.
Some hybrids, like Juno, will not bloom
at all unless thoroughly baked.

Odontoglossum Crispum.

Last summer, with a lack of strong
heat, proved favorable for Odontoglos-
sum crispum and it has come through
in good condition. It should now be
given a bench in a sunny house with
a carnation temperature, where the
leaves will soon take on a bronzy hue.
Such plants are harder and will stand
the hot summers much better than
those carrying green leaves, the result
of being kept in the shade all the time.

TO ECONOMIZE ON PAPER.

There is a movement on foot at
Washington, D. C, looking to the con-
servation of wrapping paper and mer-
chants in all lines of business are be-
ing urged to send out packages wher-
ever possible without doing them up
unnecessarily. It is pointed out that
boxes of flowers can easily be sent out
without being covered with paper, as
they are in themselves neat and attrac-
tive. It is said that custom has caused
the members of the trade to expend
large sums of money annually in wrap-
ping paper of the Kraft type, tissue
and wax paper, and that there is no
need for the use of such large quanti-
ties as are being consumed. The price
has advanced close to 200 per cent with-
in the last year. C. L. L.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

CATCH CROPS IN SOUTH.

CaJendulas.

There is a good demand nowadays
for flowers — other than roses and car-
nations— that are dainty and suitable
for table decorations. Calendulas,, mi-
gnonette, candytuft and snapdragons
are favorites and are easily grown in
most sections of the south. They will
all grow under practically the same
conditions, with a night temperature of
not over 50 degrees.

Calendulas will flower in twelve to
fourteen weeks from date of sowing
the seeds. These grow quite bushy and
should not be planted any closer than
12x12 inches. The cabbage worm,
the larva of the small white butterfly,
seems to be the only pest to bother it.

Mignonette.

Mignonette is a difficult subject to
transplant, so it is better to sow the
seeds in the bed where they have to
grow. Lay off the bed in cross lines
six by eight inches apart, and at each
intersection sow a few seeds and cover
them lightly. When the growths are
large enough, thin out to one plant.
Pinch this once and allow only two
shoots to develop, to get good spikes.
The plants must be kept trained as they
grow, in order to keep the stems
straight, and all side growths must be
cut out. Mignonette likes rather good
soil and semiweekly doses of strong

ipppill|IH|lllllll|||l|||F

manure water as soon as the embryo
flower appears. The cabbage worm is
fond of this plant and the early crop
especially must be carefully looked
over every day to catch the pests.
Hand-picking is the surest remedy.

Candytuft.

Candytuft may be sown thinly in
shallow drills. To get good heads, thin
out to four to six inches and pinch
once, allowing two or three shoots to
develop. In the more southerly states
candytuft will do well in a coldframe
or outdoors. Where this flower is well
grown, it is an exceedingly ready seller.
If only wanted for designs, a few rows
sowed thinly outdoors will give many
blooms.

Snapdragons.

Snapdragons already are great favor-
ites with the flower buyers. Seedling
plants of these set outdoors during
early spring will give a succession of
blooms until frost. Plants that have
been grown outdoors during summer
may be lifted just before frost and,,
when severely cut back, planted on a
bed or table in the greenhouse. Treated
thus they will not flower indoors until
early spring. The best way is to plant
young plants from seed in June or
July. Seedlings set out in July ought
to be flowering freely now. These
plants require considerable water and
must at all times be kept nicely tied
up, otherwise the stems will be crooked
and unsalable. L,

STOCK PLANTS.

As soon as the chrysanthemums are
cut, the disposition of stock plants,
too often much neglected, should re-
ceive proper attention. If space will
permit, there can be no better place
for stock plants than a bench well up
to the light in a violet house tempera-
ture. The plants can be set in rows
ten to twelve inches apart and given
a good watering. In a night tempera-
ture of 40 to 42 degrees they will pro-
duce quantities of nice, stocky cut-
tings. If bench space is not at dis-
posal, flats four to five inches deep can
be used to good advantage.

An excellent plan, which I have fol-
lowed for years, is to plant the stock
in coldframes over an old hotbed, cover
with perfectly dry leaves, place sashes
over these, and later protect with mats
and match-board shutters. If well pro-
tected around the sides, mum stock
plants can be safely carried through
minimums of 10 to 15 degrees below
zero in coldframes. When uncovered

in early spring they will quickly give
a crop of grand, succulent cuttings.
Do not, on any consideration, tuck
your stock plants below benches and
hunt them up about the time you want
to start propagating. Such cuttings as
you get will be mighty poor and you
will wish you had taken more intelli-
gent care of the plants.

EARLY YELLOW POMPONS.

What is the earliest outdoor-flower-
ing pompon chrysanthemum in yelloWT
My experience with outdoor pompons is
that they do far better and flower much
earlier when in the lee of buildings or
windbreaks than when grown in the
open field. R. M. C— Mich.

I have found Seven Oaks, with large,
double yellow flowers, the earliest of
the golden yellow pompon mums, flow-
ering profusely. To follow it. Excel-
sior, rich golden yellow, is good. You
are correct in saying that sheltered posi-
tions near buildings or between green-

houses are far better for these mums
than open locations. In the protected
places they bloom earlier and are far
less liable to suffer from early freezes.
C. W.

MUMS TO FOIJ.OW OEBANIUMS.

In the spring of 1917 I expect to
erect six sash houses, 10x100, and to
use them for geraniums in the spring,
followed by mums. The sashes would
be removed before planting the mums.
There will be five feet of head room.
"What varieties would be best suited for
such cultivation? We have the best
sale for Pacific, Chieftain, Bonnaffon,
Seidewitz, Chrysolora, Mistletoe, Nonin,
Eager, Jones, Appleton and Marigold.
At present I have one house planted to
Pacifies. They were planted June 1
and are now in full bloom, bearing
large flowers, but with only six to seven
inches of stem. All the other varieties,
planted in range houses, have longer
stems. What method should be used in
running the new houses!

H. C. H.— Pa.

Ulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllg

If the varieties mentioned in the in-
quiry have been found satisfactory,
why not plant them again another
year! Two excellent varieties with
which to supplement them would be, in
white, Alice Day and White Chieftain.
A good early white is White Gloria and
a good early pink is Unaka. The rea-
son the Pacifies are only six to eight
inches high is probably because they
were propagated late. If they were
large stock, planted from 4-inch pota
June 1, they should be considerably
higher than stated.

It will be well to run the new houses
east and west, to get the benefit as far
as possible of the midwinter sun for
the geraniums. Of course, a house of
this kind will be hot in summer, but
if, as H. C. H. says, he is going to
remove the sashes before planting the
mums, the summer heat would not make
any difference; therefore I would sug-
gest that by all means the houses bo
run east and west. Chas. H. Totty.

WTT.T.TAM W. VEET.

ABOEN flower grower? Yes, the phrase tits William W. Vert as if made to his
measure. Besides inheriting the requisite abilities, he began life in the right

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Florists' Charity Show.

November 15 to 17 the Knoxville
Florists' Society held a fall flower
show in a vacant store-room at 412 Gay
street, Knoxville. The show was given
for the benefit of the Young Women's
Christian Association, which recently
started a campaign for a building fund.
An admission fee of 25 cents was
charged, all of which went to the
Y. W. C. A., the florists receiving only
the publicity.

This is the first flower show held in
Knoxville for a number of years and,
though not as largely attended as hoped
for, it proved quite a success. It was
participated in by all the florists and
a number of amateurs, and fine stock
was exhibited. No prizes were
awarded, except to the amateurs.

Mrs. Rosa Hall Eyno's exhibit was a
beautiful mantel decoration of ferns,
fancy-leaved caladiums, araucarias,
draceenas, aspidistras,' begonias, pan-
danus, crotons, etc.

A. H. Dailey had some handsome
Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Radiance and
Kaiserin roses. These were without a
doubt the finest ever shown in Knox-
ville at this season of the year. Mr.
Dailey also had a good table decora
tion.

The C. W. Crouch Co. feature dis-
play was a large urn of Radiance roses.
The company also showed some fine
chrysanthemums and blooming plants,
and its table decoration probably was
the most artistic at the show.

Baum's exhibit consisted of a table
of thirty-six varieties of chrysanthe-
mums, one to each vase, and also a
general display of the same varieties.

six to a vase. They also showed some
excellent carnations in four varieties,
100 to a vase. A most attractive fea-
ture of the Baum exhibit was two
large vases of chrysanthemums. There
were 100 blooms each of William
Turner and Odessa, the blooms aver-
aging ten inches in diameter and val-
ued at $1 each.

Lectures and Stereopticon Attract.

The Howell Nurseries exhibited some
fine stock in evergreens and hardy
shrubs.

The department of entomology of the
University of Tennessee — G. M. Bent-
ley — furnished quite a number of
plants; also a large collection of both
destructive and beneficial insects.

On the evening of November 16, Pro-
fessor Bain, of the University of Ten-
nessee, gave his noted and popular illus-
trated lecture on the natural flora of
this part of the country. November 17
Bruce Howell, of the Howell Nurseries,
gave a lecture and showed stereopticon
views of landscape work and hardy
shrubs. These lectures proved strong
features and helped to bring the people
out. R. E. M.

DAIiliAS, TEX.

The State Florists' Show.

For the third successive year the
Texas State Florists' Association has
held a flower show that called the flo-
rists of the southwest into active co-
operation and enlisted the assistance
of others from San Francisco to Chi-
cago.

The show, held in Dallas, November
15 to 17, was successful in every way
and was by many considered an ad-
vance on what the organization has

done in preceding years. Although the
officers of the association did a consid-
erable part of the work, the local re-
sponsibility was delegated to Henry F.
Greve, of the Dallas Floral Co., and
to Otto Lang, and to their efforts no
small credit should be given for the
happy result.

The show was staged in the old Santa
Fe railroad station in cooperation with
a local organization known as the
Woman's Forum.

ODEN LETTEI^-/^ READED^

SCHLING IN TEST CASE.

The article in The Review of No-
vember 2, "What My Business Has
Taught Me," by Max Schling, which
was reprinted from System, is quite a
revelation. It impressed me when I
read it in System and I am glad to
have read it a couple of times over in
the Florists' Review.

This article doubtless has given the
Rotary motto, "He profits most who
serves best," a deep consideration by
many who have read it, and I would
like to say a word for Mr. Schling 's
strict adherence to his policies.

I had occasion to use halftones of
flowers and noticed prints of some
valentine novelties prepared by Mr.
Schling in The Florists' Review of
last January. I wrote to Mr. Schling
for photographs, or prices of similar
designs for photographing. My letter
was misplaced in his files some way or
other, and it was after St. Valentine's
day before my letter was answered. It
was then too late, as my booklet was
already on the press, and I wrote him

that it was too late to use them. He
evidently misunderstood my purpose in
wanting the valentine designs, for he
wrote again, asking my pardon for his
lack of service in my particular case
and asking, as a partial reparation, that
I send him the name of the young lady
who perhaps had to go without my val-
entine.

It happened that I had a particular
lady friend in New York, who in a few
days was leaving for Bermuda. So I
sent Mr. Schling her address and sent
her his letter, saying that he wanted
to send her a few flowers without ex-
pense to me and his reason for doing
so. Of course, it was a selfish motive
on my part to get credit for sending
my friend the flowers, as it was prob-
able that she would not have received
the valentine flowers even after they
had been photographed; but I was curi-
ous to know whether she would get the
flowers, and, if so, if they would be
anywhere near as nice an offering as
the ones he priced to me.

I was taking notes on what Mr.
Schling in reality believed in his serv-

20

ice policy. In fact, I wanted to know
if others were as liberal in their service
as we are in our "seed service."

I did not see the corsage Mr. Schling
sent, but from the description of what
it contained and the quality of
stock used in making it, I judge that
it would have cost me about $20, a
little more than the value of the best
valentine novelty illustrated in The
Florists' Keview.

Mr. Schling does not know me and
I doubt whether he had ever heard of
me. I live in Atlanta, Ga., quite a
distance from New York, and looking
at his side of this case it seems that
he was throwing away about $20 on
me or a school girl near the end of her
studies in New York, this being shown
by the address and the fact that I
wrote him she was leaving New York
for Bermuda before returning to At-
lanta, or home.

That is service, gentlemen, open-
hearted service, and Mr. Schling has
unknowingly sold upwards of $200
worth of cut flowers as a result of this
single instance of practicing his valu-
able idea and policy of liberal service;
and more is coming to him in the fu-
ture.

We have found that few customers
actually write us about anything un-
satisfactory. Most of them would
rather not order from us in the future.

Cultivate kicks; welcome them; de-
light in them. They are a valuable
asset to our business in pointing out
our weak spots, and when we satisfy
a customer, whether or not he has
cause for complaint, we have nearly
always made an all-time customer out
of him and a friend who will make
customers for us among his neighbors.

It does not matter whether we sell
seeds, Mr. Schling sells flowers, or
someone else sells coffins. Liberal serv-
ice in all dealings cannot help but
profit the server as well as the one
served, and both handsomely.

I congratulate you on publishing Mr.
Scliling's "What My Business Has
Taught Me."

TORONTO, ONT.

A recent event of special interest was
the formal opening in Toronto of the
new flower store of J. S. Simmons &
Son. It was a splendid success from
every point of view. J. S. Simmons
has been one of the foremost in the cut
flower trade in Toronto during the last
twenty years and one of the ambitions
of his life was fully realized on this
occasion.

Without a shadow of doubt the new
store is the result of most careful plan-
ning, and the result fully entitles the
concern to lay claim, from an artistic
as well as from a utilitarian stand-
point, to the finest flower store in the
whole of Canada. W. G. P.

AN ITEM IN PLENTY.

Amid all the stories of scarcity of
merchandise, and consequent high
prices, it is pleasing to know that at
least one item of Christmas stock is
plentiful and lower in price. There are
enough immortelles this year.

For several seasons the crop of im-
mortelles was less than the world re-
quirements, but this season the world,
or at least the European part of it, is
occupied with other things and America
became the chief market for the immor-
telle crop of southern France. Prices
there fell below the levels of recent
years and American supply houses
bought heavily. Large shipments have
been coming to hand for three months
or more, the Marseilles steamer which
docked at New York November 16 add-
ing 135 cases to the visible supply, con-

fertilizer that is good for this? Is cow
manure good for a top-dressing?

G. B.— Wis.

Provided your soil is suitable, the
most probable cause of foliage dying in
this way is careless watering, allowing
the plants to get too wet or too dry.
The temperature named is all right for
the present, but a little later, as the
bracts show, give them 60 degrees at
night. I would not advise mulching
with cow manure, but if the pots are
well filled with roots an occasional
weak application of cow manure water
will be beneficial. Eemember, however,
that anything in the nature of an over-
dose of either liquid manure or top-
dressing will speedily cause a heavy
loss of foliage. C. W.

POINSETTIAS LOSING FOLIAGE.

We have our poinsettias now in 4-inch

Charles Eble, recognized by his con-
freres as the dean of the profession at
New Orleans, La., in discussing the
momentous question of higher prices,
said that he has taken the lead in this
direction with some success, but that it
takes time and effort to educate the
public. "These William Turner mums,"
said Mr, Eble, "at $1 each, $10 per
dozen, are slow sellers, but" — turning
to a vase of Chieftain, priced at $5 per
dozen — "we will sell many more of
these than any of the larger ones. I
believe we get as good prices as any-
where," continued Mr. Eble, "espe-
cially in the south, where large quan-
tities are grown outdoors." A visit to
other stores confirmed this opinion —
and, by the way, the fine blooms re-
ferred to in the handsome Eble store
were from the Golden Gate.

Hugh Scales, of Birmingham, Ala.,
says the disastrous rains earlier in the
season flooded his houses, causing blight
and mildew, which he has been fighting
ever since. "But," said Mr. Seales,
"we never had a better season for busi-
ness and every label we put on a pack-
age stands for our 'seal of quality' — to
this we attribute our success."

"He who loves a garden loves a
greenhouse, too," quoted W. C. Cook,
familiarly known as the "doctor," a
title bestowed upon him by the college
students here. "Ever since I came to

Montgomery, Ala., and associated my-
self with the Rosemont Gardens, I can-
not disassociate myself from the green-
house." Under the guidance of Will
Patterson, one of the four big brothers
who are steadily enlarging the pros-
perous business begun by the father, a
tour of the two plants of the Rosemont
Gardens was made. Chrysanthemums
galore in all styles are there, from spray
form to specimens. The most striking
is Totty's Cap family, which are good
for pot purposes. The carnations look
most promising. The varieties are the
Enchantress family, Alice, Champion
and Belle Washburn. I noted Radiance
and Frau Karl Druschki, both doing
splendidly outdoors. The usual stock
grown for retail trade looks well. "We
shall pull down the old range and re-
build on the new place, where we have
ample room for expansion," said Mr.
Patterson.

Schmaus Bros., John Van Aart and
G. R. Noble, of Paducah, Ky., report ex-
cellent sales, with All Saints' day busi-
ness fully up to the usual demand.

Harold Ladue, head of the shipping
department at Hammond's Paint & Slug
Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y., has joined
the ranks of the benedicts, theorizing
that sometimes two can work out life's
problems better than one. The happy
couple have the best wishes of their
manv friends in the trade. W. M.

UBBANA, ILL.

University Flower Show.

The fifth annual chrysanthemum show
of the floricultural division of the
University of Illinois was visited by
over 6,200 people. The show began
November 12 and extended through
November 18. Sunday alone, between
the hours of 1 and 5 p. m., over 3,500
people viewed the display of 364 vari-
eties of chrysanthemums. Of these 225
are seedlings of pompons, singles and
anemones and are the result of student
class work. The potted plants of the
smaller varieties filled a house 35x105
feet. The large-flowering varieties
were in the bench and were viewed from
a raised walk along the entire length
of the house. The entire range of
greenhouses was open to the public.

Various Notes.

M. Bebb, E. A. Bebb, W. K. Palmer,
G. C. Klehm and C. Jez, all graduates
in floriculture, were home-coming vis-
itors.

SAGINAW, MICH.

The Market.

The weather has been crisp and the
temperature down to 12 and 14 above
zero nearly every night during the last
two weeks, with the days dark and
cloudy. This means that there haa
been a consumption of coal all of the
twenty-four hours. The coal situation,
which looks as though it might be a
serious one this winter, as yet has not
affected any of our Saginaw or Bay
City growers. All one can get from the
mines are quotations on coal — which
be none left after Thanksgiving, ex-
former winters — but no coal. Those
who laid in their supply early did the
wise thing.

November has given us a good taste
of winter business, parties, weddings
and other social affairs having done
their part, and all the florists have
been busy. Funeral work at times has
made everyone more than busy. The
main supply in cut flowers, of course,
consists of mums, which are in de-
mand far in excess of that for other
flowers. It seems as though there will
be no'ie left after Thanksgiving, ex-
cept a few culls. Pompons have done
better this year than ever before; there
will be few left for Turkey day.

Roses are about equal to the demand
and the quality is much better than last
year at this time. Carnations are not
so abundant as might be expected, but
fully sufficient to meet the demand,
which is just as well, since we are in
the middle of the heavy mum cut.

Society Meeting.

The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural
Society meeting and mum show, which
was largely attended, was held in the
greenhouses of Charles Frueh & Sons.
Of course, the chrysanthemums were
the big attraction for the evening.
Pompons of every possible color and
type were shown, and the large ones, or
rather mammoth ones, were as large as
those at any mum show. Individual
flowers were shown that measured
twenty-five and one-half inches in cir-
cumference, and a vase of twelve flow-
ers measured 274 inches.

The judges had rather a difficult time
deciding to whom the honors belonged.
Finally they fell to Charles Frueh &
Sons, for the large mums, and first on
pompons to Boehringer Bros., of Bay
City. The judges, John Irvine and
F. H. Stevens, said it was a rather
even toss-up all the way through.

At the business meeting it was de-
cided that the society pay as pre-
miums out of the treasury fund the
sum of $5 in two prizes, $3 for first and
$2 for second, to go to the growers of
the stock. William Robertson, grower
for Chas. Frueh & Sons, was about ready
to "bust" when he heard the report
from the judges, but he finally calmed
down and gave us his paper on mums,
which was most interesting and in-
structive and brought out many points.
Second money fell to the William
Roethke Floral Co., grower.

Next month there will be a showing
of roses and some fine stock is ex-
pected. There will be an exhibition
each month of cut flowers or plants in
CO inection with the monthly meetings.
The exhibitors were Charles Frueh &
Sons, Roethke Floral Co., Grohman, the
Florist; J. B. Goetz Sons, Saginaw;
Boehringer Bros., John Marsh, Bay
City; C. A. Hawley, Vassar; David
Kleinhans, St. Louis. Gee.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Last week was the coldest of the year
thus far and stock in a few small houses
not properly prepared for the sudden
drop was slightly injured by frost.
There now are absolutely no outdoor
flowers left. As is usually the case,
business picked up with the colder
weather that arrived last week. Every-
one seems to be having about all he
can attend to and there is little waste
stock of any kind. Chrysanthemums,
of course, continue to hold the center
of the stage, but they are by no means
the "whole thing" this fall, as in
some seasons. While chrysanthemums
have lost none of their popularity, they
are dividing favors pretty evenly with
the roses. On the whole this is a good
thing, as it is never the best thing for
business to have the demand centered
on one kind of flowers.

Chrysanthemums this year have the
finish of any season 's best stock, but they
are not so large as those of the last two
or three years. This does not harm
their sale, however; in fact, some grow-
ers are of the opinion that there is more
profit in a medium-sized flower, if the
quality is there, than in an extra large
one, for this market. The people here
do not like to pay more than $4 per
dozen for mums, at least not for many
of them.

Carnations are making a great record
this fall. I have never seen the qual-
ity so uniformly high this early in the
season. There is a good demand for all
that can be spared for shipping to
other cities.

Again I feel constrained to speak of
Rose Baby Doll. If it does as well
elsewhere as it docs here, it certainly
will become a popular rose. It seems
to produce sheets of bloom.

Various Notes.

One of the last pieces of business
attended to by the late T. C. Joy was
the superintending of the construction
of a greenhouse at Clarksville, Tenn.,

which is to be used as a branch of the
home range. Harold Joy has entered on
his duties as general manager of the
Joy greenhouses. The company is mak-
ing heavy shipments of flowers nearly
every day to all parts of the south.

The first azaleas of the season ar-
rived at Nashville last week.

Leslie Littel reports that he is rap-
idly picking up the business formerly
carried on by the Hillerest School
Farm. He says sales were heavier last
week than those of any other week
since he started business two years ago.

Prank Cornell is devoting a great
deal of the space in his houses to keep-
ing plants for people during the winter.

J. F. Corbett is making regular ship-
ments of cut flowers to St. Louis this
fall.

Daniel Mclntyre seems to be holding
his own pretty well and is cheerful in
his aflaiction. At the store they are
showing fine pot mums, as well as plenty
of good cut stock.

Haury & Sons are beginning to offer
their usual large quantity of pot mums.
They make a specialty of pot plants
both fall and spring. F, B.

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The weather last week took a de-
cided turn and the mercury dropped to
10 degrees above zero. This benefited
business considerably by shortening up
the supply of stock. Chrysanthemums
now dominate the market, and the sup-
ply is better by far than at any time
during the present season. Prices are
holding up well, the smallest sizes
bringing $3 per dozen and the medium
and large sizes $4, $5 and $6. The
best varieties are Turner, Chieftain,
Wells' Late Pink, Golden Wedding,
Chadwick, Bonnaffon, Eaton and Ro-
man Gold. Pompons also are in excel-
lent supply and in numerous varieties.

Roses are of better quality, Russell,
Ophelia, Shawyer and Sunburst being
the leaders. American Beauties are
coming into the market in fine condi-
tion and prices are good. Carnations
are in good supply and the prices satis-
factory. Orchids from local green-
houses are in good supply. Valley is
scarce and brings $6 per hundred.
Sweet peas also are scarce. There are
some fine long-spiked antirrhinums on
the market. The supply of narcissi is in-
creasing. Easter lilies, rubrums and
callas are in good demand for funeral
work. Violets are becoming a factor
in the market. Cyclamen and chrysan-
themum plants are of excellent quality
and fine variety. Greens are not plen-
tiful.

Fort Wayne's First Flower Show.

The first flower show to be given in
this city was opened November 16 un-
der the auspices of the Fort Wayne
Florists' Club, in the ballroom of the
Anthony hotel. The results were grati-
fying to all the florists and especially
to A. J. Lanternier, chairman of the
show, and to Miss Marguerite Flick,
secretary of the club.

The ballroom was a mass of flowers,
and the florists, in many ways, had to
crowd their exhibits to fit the allotted
space. There were displays by the
Flick Floral Co., W. J. & M. S. Vesey,
A. J. Lanternier & Co., the Doswell
Floral Co., F. J. Knecht & Co., Markey

Bros., Edgar Wenninghoflf and the New
Haven Floral Co. Chrysanthemums
were the predominating flowers in the
show, although there were meritorious
exhibits of roses. W. J. & M. S.
Vesey displayed cattleyas, oncidiums,
vandas and cypripediums. The Flick
Floral Co. had a bride's party, with
bouquets of colonial style, and hand-
some table decorations. Markey Bros,
had William Turner mums with other
stock and the Doswell Floral Co. ex-
hibited Ophelia and Shawyer roses, as
well as a variety in chrysanthemums.

Varioiw Notes.

Miss Clara B. Flick, of the Patten
Flower Shop, Toledo, O., is spending
several days here visiting Mrs. Richard
Blossom, of the Flick Floral Co. Miss
Flick reports business at Toledo un-
usually brisk.

Pa,rk Superintendent Carl J. Getz re-
turned last week from a visit to nurs-
eries at Tippecanoe, Springfield, East
Cleveland and Painesville, O., where he
purchased 2,000 plants for the city
parks, besides, 3,400 large-leaved trees.

A. M. Anderson, of the A. L. Bandall
Co., Chicago, called on the trade last

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Last week could not be recorded as
one of the really busy weeks. There
was plenty of all kinds of stock, but
little demand. Now, however, with the
fall of snow giving the genuine aspect
of winter, it is thought that business
will improve. Moreover, if the cold
weather continues, the supply will not
be quite so heavy.

American Beauties are in good de-
mand and the quality is quite satisfac-
tory. Other roses which lingered some-
what last week are now moving nicely.
Mums continue to arrive in just as good
quality, if not better in some instances,
but the quantity has fallen off. Pom-
pons are far more plentiful than mums
and the variety is larger. Valley and
orchids are few and hard to obtain.
The supply of lilies is slowly increas-
ing. Violets, both single and double,
move nicely. The supply of sweet peas
is as yet small and the demand weak.
Miscellaneous stock is rather erratic as
to supply; it is plentiful one day and
scarce the next. Greens are sufficient
for needs.

Various Notes.

The Wm. F. Kasting Co. held the for-
mal opening of its wholesale house at
570 Washington street Thursday eve-
ning, November 16. Much credit is due
to the staff of the company and it is
evident that persistency combined with
patience will finally obtain what is
sought. As the guests arrived the re-
ception committee, which consisted of
Wallace Eiss and Emil Brucker, escorted
them through the entire establishment,
from the refrigerator on the main floor,
a cooling system, to the second floor,
where everything is arranged in a most
systematic way. From there the guests
were taken to the third floor, where
everyone was entertained during every
moment of the time spent there. There
was not a dull moment during the en-
tire evening. An orchestra of eighteen
pieces furnished music for dancing and
rendered some beautiful selections be-
tween dances. American flags and wild
smilax adorned the walls, while palms

and Boston ferns added much to the
decorations. The table decorations con-
sisted of baskets of Killarney roses and
yellow pompons.

Mrs. G. L. Graham and son, of Brad-
ford, were in Buffalo last week. They
attended the municipal flower show.
Business with them has been quite sat-
isfactory, but there still are many
chances for improvement.

David Scott, of Corfu, now is com-
pleting the erection of a new house
36x126, which will be devoted entirely
to the sweet pea. This flower has been
a wonderful success with him within
the last few years.

While coming in on his regular trip
Monday morning, November 13, Her-
man Ehmann had some thrilling and
exciting experiences. Because of the

dense fog, it was not easy to discern
anything ahead, and while driving at a

he suddenly approached two wagons.
Intending to stop, he quickly applied
the brakes, but before stopping his car
turned entirely around — but did not tip

Galley Bros., of Gardenville, are daily
shipping in large consignments of
Major Bonnaffon mums. These sell
readily at a good figure.

All indications now are that there
will be plenty of stock for Thanks-
giving. Let us hope so, because it looks
as if business will be good.

Mr. and Mrs. White, of Medina,

Phillips, with S. A. Weller, of Boston,
Mass., also was here.

HOLYOEE, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club was held jointly with that
of the M. A. C. Florists' and Gardeners'
Club, at Amherst, November 13. With
the M. A. C. flower show as an extra
attraction, members turned out in good
number and, as usual, the occasion was
one of profit and pleasure.

It was felt that a closer spirit of co-
operation between the two clubs would

tend to mutual advantage, and to this
end an open invitation was. extended to
the members of each club to attend the
meetings of the other. A pleasing fea-
ture was the presentation by President
Butler, on behalf of the club, of a cut
glass bowl to Prof. A. H. Nehrling, in
honor of the Professor's recent mar-
riage.

G. H. Sinclair, D. J. GaJlivan and E.
S. Cary, judges of the students' work
at the show, were called upon to ex-
plain the why and wherefore of their
awards. They acquitted themselves
nobly. After a social half-hour the
members dispersed with the feeling that
it was an evening well spent.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business as yet is not what it should
be, but toward the close of last week
it improved considerably. The market
is well supplied with all seasonable
lines and prices are rather low. Many
heavy orders are coming in for Thanks-
giving.

Roses continue plentiful and gener-
ally are of a high quality. Carnation re-
ceipts are larger than necessary to
supply the present demands. Chrysan-
themums are crowding and all sizes are
available. Easter lilies, too, are plenti-
ful. Orchids, valley and sweet peas
meet with a fair demand. Calla lilies
and Paper White narcissi are offered.
Mexican ivy now is in the market and
up to this time has sold well.

J. A. Peterson & Sons have a fine lot

C. E. Critchell has been finding a

The E. G. Hill Floral Co. store, with
its tasteful decorations last week,
looked almost as well as it did the week
of its fall chrysanthemum show.

Among recent visitors were Martin

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Market.

Business conditions were more satis-
factory last week. There was plenty
of stock of all kinds, but the demand
was good and cleaned up everything,
although prices on any of the inferior
stock were too low.

There seems to be a much better de-
mand for violets than last year, but
the quantity of blooms " coming in is
much smaller than that of any other
year. It was thought early in the
month that there would be a scarcity of
chrysanthemums at Thanksgiving, but
all indications now are that there will
be plenty of them. Pompons, carna-
tions and roses, however, may be scarce,
as the continued bright weather has
brought in much of the stock intended
for next week.

The wholesale houses have been busy;
the quantity of flowers coming in has
kept them on the jump to find outlets
for the stock. At this season of the
year there is greater competition with

proper values, or else are compelled to
sell cheaply to dispose of their stock.

ceived a shipment of Belgian stock, in-
cluding palms, which was caught in the
cold snap. The plants were ordered
shipped in a refrigerator car, but the

car, and as a result the consignment is
a total loss. Clarke.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The lilarket.

The glut of last week was checked
by weather unusually cold for this time
of the year. The cold wave both im-
proved and retarded stock; thus the
present prospects for a good Thanks-
giving are brighter than those of two
weeks ago. Indications are that chrys-
anthemums and roses will bring top-
notch prices and that carnations of fine
quality will be abundant.

Business the early part of the week
was active, which was attributed to
several prominent funerals. Social
functions were numerous, but weddings
were few and affected the sale of val-
ley and orchids. Business dropped back
to normal the latter part of the week
and Saturday, which is always the big-
gest day, was just fair.

Various Notes.

B. F. Hensley, of the Hensley Flower
Shop, has purchased a new auto truck

friends here.

E. J. Boydell, of the Duroc Paper

The lack of an embargo on foodstuffs
is affecting the florist as well as the
merchant. Necessities are so high that
the middle and poorer classes buy flow-
ers only in case of death, and then
usually the cheaper casket sprays.

Florists, who invariably are good fellows,

frequently buy space to " support the trade press," but those who merely sell to

of allied-trades advertising that appears in no other paper.

OBITUAEY.

Thomas M. Fitzgerald.

Thomas M. Fitzgerald, of Beaver, Pa.,
prominently known throughout western
Pennsylvania, died at his home Novem-
ber 13, after an illness of less tnan an
hour of acute indigestion.

Mr. Fitzgerald was a native of Pitts-
burgh, having been born there February
27, 1868, a son of Thomas and Mary
Fitzgerald. His father was a private
gardener and served on many of the
large estates at Pittsburgh. With $100
as capital, young Fitzgerald started a
florists' business at Beaver. The enter-
prise grew steadily until now it makes
use of twelve houses and a retail es-
tablishment.

The deceased, who was considered
one of the most prosperous business
men in the Beaver valley, was a mem-
ber of the S. A. F. and the Pittsburgh
Florists' Club. He was a quiet, unas-
suming man, whom one had to know in-
timately to fully appreciate. He is sur-
vived by his wife, six children, Kath-
erine, John, Joseph, Helen, Agnes and
Anna; his father, who made his home
with the deceased; three brothers,
James, of Pittsburgh, and John and
Edward, of Erie, Pa.

Alger, O.— H. O. Arnett has started
a greenhouse business here.

The Review brings results.

Again this season it has been demon-
strated that there is no chrysanthemum
the people like better than old Major
Bonnaffon.

It is the intention of The Review to
answer promptly all letters that bear the
full name and address of the sender, but
no effort is made to reply to or investi-
gate anonymous inquiries.

Publishers have been hard hit by the
rise in printing paper, but retail florists
have had to stand a greater increase in
the price of tissue, used almost every
time the cash register rings. Tissup
paper that jobbers formerly sold for
around $5 per bundle recently has sold
for $15 and hereafter will be $17 per
bundle.

The excellent portrait of John Cook,
of Baltimore, which appeared in The Re-
view for November 16, was from a pho-
tograph by Fred Lautenschlager, 444
West P^rie street, Chicago. Mr. Lauten-
schlager offers to loan the film to any
florists' club which would like to make
an enlargement for the decoration of the
club room.

Reports indicate that there have been
numerous losses on the azalea imports
again this season. While some shipments
are said to have arrived in perfect con-
dition, others have opened in such shape
that the value for this season is prob-
lematical. It is understood that this
season there is no insurance for the ship-
pers, guaranteeing against losses of this
character.

SOME PUFFS FOR US.

The sum of money received for sub-
scriptions is so small compared to that
received for advertisements that many
publishers make the mistake of mak-
ing every item a puff for an advertiser.
Such papers have difficulty in holding
circulation; they must employ can-
vassers, give premiums and resort to
other devices to keep going, and they
get no letters like this:

I enclose check 'to pay for The Review for the
next thee years, to November, 1910. The paper
keeps Improving every year and has my best
wishes for a successful future. — Wm. Nicholson,
Framingham, Mass., November 8, 1916.

And the advertiser's interests are
best served, not by lauding him and
his goods in extravagant language,
which nearly everyone recognizes for
what it is, an effort to curry favor,
but by printing a paper the people not
only pay for but READ. Then results
are like this:

You may discontinue our ad for the present,
as we are completely sold out. We certainly
have had good success with The Review this
vear. — Evenden Bros., Williamsport, I'a., No-
vember 11, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

THE MUM SEASON.

The chrysanthemum season has been
one of unusual conditions in nearly all
parts of the country this year, condi-
tions which may not occur again for a
long time, although it is probable that
the increased plantings will continue.

The quantity of mums grown was
larger than ever, the increase being
particularly great in pompons and
singles. The weather conditions were
such that the early varieties were one,
two or even three weeks later than
usual in reaching the market, the mid-
season varieties being right on their
heels. The result was a scarcity early
in the season, and unusually good
prices at wholesale, followed by what
was for many growers the most severe
glut ever known, with an excellent
retail demand the only thing that pre-
vented utter demoralization of prices,
with values so low that it is doubtful
if the flowers paid more than the cost
of production to growers shipping to
wholesale markets. Those who retail
their stock fared somewhat better.

With the middle of November the
pressure relaxed, with the result that
values have become more stable and
there is excellent prospect for the suc-
cess of the late varieties, the Thanks-
giving supply being less than usual.

STANDARDIZATION HELPS.

One of the reasons why a grower to-
day can build a greenhouse at a cost,
compared with two years ago, that is
much less than the average advance in
the price of the materials is that the
builders have standardized their out-
put. A standardized article always can
he had at a price less than the cost of
a special article.

Until quite recently every greenhouse
was a special proposition, individual
from the first rough sketch to the last
hammer-stroke. Today it is different.
It has been discovered that there is no
good reason why Smith should put up
a house six inches wider than .Jones,
and Jones four inches less than .John-
son. Nothing whatever is gained by
such slight differences, but they make

an important difference in the cost, as
each must be milled spepially. The re-
sult has been that manufacturers have
adopted standard widths for their va-
rious styles of constructions; they are
the best widths, for certain definite
reasons. For such houses the plans, the
erection details, even the shipping lists,
are all ready and the material is run in
quantity; all that is necessary on re-
ceipt of an order is to count off enough
parts for a given number of lineal feet
of house. It makes a great saving. As
these economies have been worked out
during the time that commodity prices
have been rising, tney have enabled the
material manufacturers to get along
with smaller increases in their own
prices.

CHICAGO.

"Watch Your Step."

The Review has received several re-
ports that a man is calling on the
trade, asking for subscriptions to this
paper and offering a cheap imitation-
leather pocketbook as a gift to those
who will subscribe. As it is the easiest
thing imaginable to get florists to
subscribe to The Review, the field would
be a fertile one except that the trade
knows The Review never has found it
necessary to give pocketbooks, knives
or any other kind of premiums to get
people to buy the paper and anyone
making such an offer can be set down
as a swindler.

Representatives of The Review are
well known in the trade. Don't pay
money to strangers for this paper's
account.

The Market.

The cooler weather which prevailed
last week had the desired effect of cut-
ting down stock and relieving the
glutted condition of the market. The
end of the week, in fact, brought bet-
ter conditions than had obtained for
some time. Shorter supply and better
prices were generally reported. Al-
though there was fair business Novem-
ber 20, the market nevertheless again
manifested a tendency toward easier
prices, but the wholesale houses in gen-
eral look for a steady strengthening
from now to Christmas.

All varieties of roses are clearing
fairly well, the shorter stems moving
best. The supply is considerably less
than it has been for some time and
good prices are generally obtaining.
American Beauties are on the scarce
side, due largely to the fact that most
growers pinched their plants for a
Christmas crop and therefore are not
cutting much at present. The stock
reaching tne market is clearing well,
however, fair prices being obtained.
Carnations are about the deadest item
on the market. The supply is large,
while there is little demand, although
the quality of the stock is excellent.
From some quarters reports are begin-
ning to come, however, of improved de-
mand and better prices.

Good and fancy mums are clearing
well at good prices. Inferior quality
stock is, on the other hand, difficult to
move at even strong concessions. Pom-
pons are moving finely and getting good
prices. Present indications are that
there will be a scarcity for Thanks-
giving, as the warm weather during the
first two weeks of November hurried
them into crop. *

Valley continues scarce, and is clear-
ing well at good prices. Easter lilies
are in good supply, but are moving
slowly. Eubrum lilies are coming in
slowly and are clearing at fair prices.
Cattleyas are as scarce as usual and are
bringing good prices. Paper Whites
are of exceptional quality and are clear-
ing well. The supply, however, is lim-
ited. Calendulas are in good supply
and are moving fairly well. The fact
that there have been and are so many
yellow flowers on the market is prov-
ing a drawback to the sale of these
flowers.

Violets have enjoyed a return to
popularity which some retailers at-
tribute to the opening of the opera
eeason. As the supply is smaller than
it was, prices are advancing.

Thanksgiving is not one of the holi-
days that brings a heavy run of orders
far in advance, but these have begun
to accumulate in the last few days and
the trade seems to be unanimous in the
belief that the Thanksgiving business
this year will break all records.

Amling's Will Move.

The most important news of the week
is that the E. C. Amling Co. has con-
summated a ten years' lease on the first
floor and basement of the Durand build-
ing, at 169 to 175 North Wabash ave-
nue, corner of Benton place, directly
across the street from its present quar-
ters, and will remove to the new loca-
tion as soon as certain alterations and
improvements can be completed by the
owner, which is expected to be early in
3917. The lease runs from January 1.

The building is 60x120, the street
floor having a 20-foot ceiling and a bal-

cony 60x60 across the rear half, so that
this floor aflfords over 10,000 square feet
of available space, or about two and
one-half times as much as the company
has in its present quarters. In addition
the usable basement space is 80x110, or
nearly 9,000 square feet. Being on the
corner, the light is good and Benton

place affords an excellent parking space
for customers' automobiles out of the
way of the heavy traffic in Wabash
avenue.

"The reason for the move," said

pany, "is that in the last year the vol-

The Amling move is of unusual in-
terest in the market because it will
have the effect of making way for
further improvements. The present
Amling store probably will be sublet,
for it is under lease to May 1, 1920,
and with a large wholesale house on
the street floor of the Durand block,
the second floor of that building also
will become attractive for wholesale
cut flower purposes, so that the rent-

on the floral art exhibit held at Hotel
La Salle November 12. The punch
bowl won by Andrew Benson was
finally awarded.

The most important business of the
evening was the nomination of officers
for the coming year. The following
candidates were named: For president,
F. Lautenschlager, W. H. Amling; vice-
president, Paul Klingsporn, Emil Reich-
ling; secretary, A. Zech, G. W. French;
treasurer, O. H. Amling, N. P. Miller,
M. Barker, E. Murette; for trustee,
W. J. Keimel, Aug. Jurgens.

The next meeting will be held Thurs-
day, December 7, at which time the
election will take place.

[The Review has received from Mr.
Lautenschlager a letter eulogizing
W. H. Amling and aflirming Mr.

Lautenschlager 's decision to decline to
be a candidate, so that Mr. Amling 's
election to the presidency may be
unanimous. — Ed.]

Various Notes.

In inviting friends to Union Grove,
Guy French offers assurances that
French & Salm can show "Mrs. Russell
with as many buds as you ever saw on
Killarney," which surely is a sight
worth looking at.

Peter Reinberg returned November
18 from a two weeks' hunting trip in
southern Illinois.

Always thinking up a novel idea,
George Wienhoeber last week had his
windows full of the E. G. Hill big mums
displayed in the original large corru-
gated board shipping cases in which

they came to the wholesale house. The
idea perhaps grew out of the fact that
in the last few weeks his purchases for
Friday and Saturday have been so
heavy it was difficult to find space to
unpack the mums and put them in
water.

That the patented electric fountain
for window or table has been the most
successful novelty ever handled by the
A. L. Randall Co. is merely to quote
Manager F. M. Johnson. The Randall
fountain factory in the basement of
the Lemoyne building, fitted up with
special machines and tools obtained in
quick time by buying out a New York
fountain factory, has a capacity of fif-
teen "fountains a day, which is being
steadily increased, as it is barely suf-
ficient to meet the demand.

That removal from Michigan avenue
to the Lemoyne building was a wise
move for the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association is shown by Manager
Klingsporn's statement that sales have
shown an increase every month as com-
pared with the last record for that
month in the old location, some months
as much increase as $13,000.

Last week the wholesale cut flower
market was stagnant until November
17, but the closing days of the week
furnished the first evidences of the
long-Iooked-for revival of business.
With culd'ir weather — frosts that have
killed all outdoor flowers — and society's
return to activity, there must come
and remain a decided change for the
better, especially in the retail depart-
ment of the business.

The shipments of mums are already
lighter and better wholesale values are
assured for Thanksgiving. The qual-
ity is magnificent. All the old vane-
ties of value have been retained and
many unnamed novelties are seen. The
best price November 18 was $3 per doz-
en, with one or two exceptions, when
$4 and even $5 were secured for novel-
ties. Of the above grade the supply was

to 7.5 cents — flowers that commanded
double this figure in other years.

Carnations advance slowly. There is
no reason for this except the mum
flood. The quality of the carnations
now arriving is excellent and it must

at $1.50, and some even as low as $1

of the demand. Thousands remained

were held at 60 and 75 cents each and
there were none offered under $4 per
dozen. There are few gardenias.

Boses are advancing. Shipments
were lighter at the week end and prices
for Nos. 1 and 2 grades were firm.
Nothing sold under $1 per hundred.
American Beauties touched 30 cents
November 18 and Hadley 25 cents. All
new varieties and the specialties, espe-
cially, now are in wide demand by the
prominent retailers, the banquet season
having already begun. About ten va-
rieties of hybrids are appealing for
steady recognition, with Russell,
Ophelia, Mock, Francis Scott Key and
Prima Donna meeting with growing
favor.

Violets at last have strengthened in

value and improved in quality. Foot-
ball games claim the lion's share on
special days. More are worn on the
streets than usual; they seem to be re-
gaining their old-time popularity.
Thanksgiving day they will sell at $1.50
per hundred, the specialists say. Sweet
peas are improving in favor and qual-
ity. Bouvardias, pansies, narcissi and
stevias are among the remaining sun-
dries. The demand for autumn foliage
was never so universal as now. All
the supply houses furnish it in immense
quantities. Wild smilax, too, is called
for from many cities for decorative
work. Large shipments are made daily.

Various Notes.

The Wholesale Florists' Protective

Association had a celebration in the
form of a banquet, at Hotel Breslin, No-
vember 18. All the notables were there
and much harmony was engendered. It is
said that a grand reunion, to include all
branches of the florists' business, is
contemplated — an affair calculated to
bring together the wholesale and retail
cut flower contingents.

J. K. Allen is disposing of a large
number of mum plants from the estab-
lishment of Charles Hunt, of Staten

special mention.

FLORISTS, more than per-
haps any other merchants,
find that delivery cost is
one of the hardest of all elements
in their business to regulate.

Most merchants can establish
routes, depend on a certain amount
of business every day on each
route, and get some delivery figures

that they can rely on.

But three-quarters of the florist's busi-
ness demands an emergency delivery —
at a cost out of cill proportion to the
value of the business,

Limit your delivery costs. There is a
way to do it — and that way, as several
hundreds of alert florists will tell you, is to
use the husky reliable VIM Delivery Car.

Motor truck delivery is not new to the
florist trade. A good many florists have
adopted converted pleasure cars, for in-

stance— and then find that their delivery
cost doesn't drop as they know it should.

For efUcientf economical delivery ser-
vice you must have a car designed for
that service — a car that will haul half a
ton of potted plants as readily as a
dozen cases of cut flowers.

You need a car that will be on the job
every day and all day — a car that will
keep out of the repair shop — a car that
will make a rush delivery without eating
up all the profit by excessive gasoline
consumption.

A car, moreover, with class and style
— one that will be a rolling advertise-
ment for your business.

You need the VIM Delivery Car — the
only car designed specially for delivery
service with a full knowledge of the needs
of that service. Capacity, one half ton
and remarkably economical in gasoline
and tires.

This is the most efficient chassis for its work in the
world— price, $645. Fitted with any one of twelve types
of body— handsomely designed and strongly built, suit-
able (or a hundred lines of business— price complete,
Model F (Open Express), $695; De Luxe (Closed
Panel), $725.

There are six hundred and
twenty-four VIM agents and service
stations, putting the VIM service at
the disposal of merchants in every
part of the country.

PHILADELPHIA,

The Market.

A turn for the better has come in
the cut flower market — not so much an
advance in prices as a better average
price, with supply and demand more
evenly balanced. It was pleasant to
see that violets figured as the leading
flowers in the improvement. The cool,
bracing weather and the Yale-Prince-
ton football game November 18 helped
our modest little friends; there was an
active demand for violets at advanced
prices November 17 and 18. Cattleyas
went up another notch, i. e., to -$10 per
dozen for labiata and a few Trianse.
The smaller cattleya, Percivaliana, is
here in moderate numbers, at $5 to $6
per dozen. Cypripedium insigne also
has arrived.

Roses show a decided gain in the
fancy grades and in the novelty class.
Sunburst has done well when well col-
ored; the poorly colored flowers lag.
Ophelia and Mrs. Ward are also in de-
mand. Hadley is reported as selling
well in some places, while others think
that its novelty has worn off. Mrs. Eus-
sell is of fine quality and is in active
demand at good prices. Beauties sell
well, but the supply is fully equal to
the demand; that means not all the
Beauties sell at asking price. The or-
dinary varieties of pink and white roses
are rather dull.

Carnations have improved in so far
as well colored stock like Mrs. C. W.
Ward is concerned. The pale pink car-
nations are not in demand. Whites fare
better because they can be used in de-
sign worK, of which there is a good deal
just now. It seems that the market is
not well supplied with small white flow-
ers, so the buyers turn to white carna-
tions. Valley is scarce, so scarce that
the probability of the advance from $6
to $8 per hundred is discussed. Bou-
vardia has come; strange to say, it is
not taking yet. " The number of Paper
Whites is increasing; the yellow nar-

cissus has just come. Easter lilies are
in oversupply. Why do the growers
bring them in during the height of the
season for fine white chrysanthemums?
It is a great mistake.

Chrysanthemums are in the height of
their last big fortnight at the close of
the week before Thanksgiving. All the
leading late varieties are in their glory.
Prices have ruled low, with a tendency
toward an advance on quality at the
close of the present week, November 22.
There are too many pompons for the
market. The best varieties, well grown,
bring fairly good prices, but the poorer
stock drags down the whole lot to a

lower level. Indications point to an
improved demand next week, Novem-
ber 23 to November 29.

Business Comradeship.

The following little talk is of unusual
interest because the speaker, Raymond
Brunswick, has given intelligent
thought to the subject of advertising.
He aims to put high ideals into prac-
tice:

John Wanamaker in a morning news-
paper on the day J. E. Caldwell & Co.
opened" their new store next to himi I

vertisement that referred to them.
Here it is; I will read it to you:

A neiKhbor's hearty greeting. ■Welcome and
coDRratulations to James E. Caldwell & Co. on
their removal to Juniper and ChestTiut streets!

The founder of the house is still well remem-
hercd as an old, personal, kindly friend, and as
one of a group of the first citizens of his time,
when John Welsh, James E. ClaRhorn, Daniel
Smith, Adolph E. Borie, Joseph Patterson,
George H. Stuart, Frederick Fralcy, Gen. R. Pat-
terson, Alexander Henry, Anthony J. Drexel,
Thomas A. Scott and James E. Caldwell and
others moved together in affairs of public spirit
in advancing the interests of Philadelphia.

For seventy-eight years the business house
established by James E. Caldwell has been an
honor to the city and to the mercantile profession.
His son and the younger men who succeeded him
have Inherited the spirit of the father of the
business and retained well the lessons be taught
them.

The high character and dignity of the Installa-
tion of the old business In their new establish-
ment is a good evidence of wisdom and of
ability to continue the leadership in the particu-
lar rank In which they have been so long
famous.

"You see, the point is that Caldwell's

are competitors of John Wanamaker in

jewelry, silverware and objects of art.

Mr. Wanamaker does not ignore them

when they move from downtown up

Chestnut street to his very door. He

welcomes them as friendly competitors.
Here is their reply:

J. E. Caldwell & Co. desire to extend their
grateful thanks to the thousands of friends who
took a personal part in the opening, yesterday,
of their new store. Among the numberless treas-
ured expressions of appreciation and encourage-
ment, there is one unique in Its broad-minded
generosity. Impressive because of the distin-
guished achievement of Its writer. Honorable
John Wanamaker, chief of modern merchants,
is the neighbor by whose neighborliness we are
deeply honored.

"This is broad on both sides. It
also is high-class advertising that, while
it does not seek to advertise magnetic-
ally, attracts the reader with a power
none but the best advertising can do.
I hope to see the day when the florists'
supply business will reach this level —
each striving his utmost for advance-
ment without throwing so much as a
straw in his competitor's way."

A Rainbow Wedding.

A real novelty in wedding effects
was produced last week by J. J. Haber-
mehl's Sons. It was styled a rainbow
wedding because the hats and bouquets
of the bridesmaids were designed in

rainbow colors. The bride 's party was
unusually large. There were thirty-two
in all — a maid of honor, fifteen brides-
maids and sixteen ushers. The bride's
bouquet was, you will guess correctly,
of lilies of the valley and white orchids.
The other bouquets will be left to your
imagination, in part at least. They
were made of different flowers artistic-
ally combined in at least seven colors.
Snapdragons in several shades; pompons
in certain carefully chosen hues; Sun-
burst and Ward roses, and cornflowers,
were a few of the many flowers used.
The ushers wore gardenias. The effect
of the assembled bride's party was rich
and striking. The church decorations
were in green and white.

A Forest Dinner.

A rather unusual decoration was ar-
ranged by J. J. Habermehl's Sons for
the Pennsylvania State Society dinner
held in the Bellevue-Stratford hotel
Thursday evening, November 23. There
were over 400 guests. The novel part

Various Notes.

When Robert Craig saw the new 500-
foot shed just erected X)n his company's
place at Norwood he expressed the de-
sire that the men who built the Penn-
sylvania railroad sheds might come to
see it.

Raymond Kester, of the Williams-
port Floral Co., Williamsport, Pa., was
welcomed by his friends in this city.

C. L. Peterson, of the Tunlin Paint
Co., has received a letter from a lead-
ing citizen of Fort Worth, Tex., telling
him that a recent hail storm following
excessive heat had knocked off the
paint of all the buildings in Fort
Worth, excepting only those painted
with Tunlin paint. Mr. Peterson says
the heat dried and cracked and the
hail stripped off the other paints, but
that Tunlin had the stuff in it and
stood the test.

John Walsh happened to be in New-
ark, N. J., with the H. Bayersdorfer &
Co. traflQc car last week. A good sales-
man generally happens to go to a given
place at the right time. The Newark
show was on that week. The managers
insisted on an exhibit. So now H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co. have a blue ribbon in
token of first prize for their florists'
supplies.

The Market.

The first killing frost of the season
hit Washington last week and put out
all the outdoor bunch chrysanthemums
and other outdoor stock. At the same
time the supply of roses and carnations
shortened to an appreciable extent and
buyers were forced to go from whole-
saler to wholesaler and to call on the
various growers.

Up to last week carnations hung fire
and prices were low, but it is an easy
matter now to get $3 per hundred for
them. There has not been a great
increase in the price of roses, but these
also will gradually go up. Among the
new arrivals of the week are narcissi.
These, however, are not in much de-
mand. Some good white and yellow
daisies are being offered. There are
few Easter lilies, but there is little call

Sweet peas and violets have become

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

Florists' Club's Visiting Tour.

Thursday afternoon, November 16,
about thirty members of the Lancaster
County Florists' Club journeyed by
automobile eastward from Lancaster
and visited eight florists' establish-
ments.

At Charles M. Weaver's, where sweet
peas are grown almost exclusively, we
found houses of these in fine order.
Some of the peas are long-stemmed,
with large blooms; others are several
feet high, and one house contained
stock about six inches high. Mr.
Weaver's houses are 42x325 feet. Most
of the varieties grown here are selec-
tions of his own and high-grade stock is
the rule.

At the Elmer J. Weaver place car-
nations are principally grown. There
we saw Pink Delight, Mrs. Ward,
Northport, Matchless, Alice, Mrs. Ake-
hurst, Supreme — all in excellent condi-
tion and holding great promise for an
abundance of blooms throughout the
season. Mrs. Coombs, Nebraska,
Nancy, Belle Washburn and Miss Theo
are being given a trial, and I hope later
to give Mr. Weaver's opinion of them.
Mr. Weaver also has sweet peas, mi-

H. B. Weaver, at Bird-in-Hand, was
next called upon. His carnations,
which are his principal crop, are fine.
He grows Mrs. Ward, Matchless, Alice
and Supreme. Fine Jeanne Nonin and
Patty mums were seen. Early mums
were a successful and profitable crop at
this place. Some choice red gladioli
in bloom were a novelty for mid-Novem-
ber. Mignonette, calendulas and stocks
are grown well.

Jacob H. Weaver's establishment, at
Smoketown, was our next stop. Hero,
also, carnations are the main crop.
Matchless, Alice, Supreme, Gloriosa,
Belle Washburn, Pink Delight and Miss
Theo are the leading varieties grown.
Seedling No. 2A, ift its third year, a
cross between Gorgeous and Alma
Ward, is a magnificent variety and will
be heard from later. A yellow, with
faint pink markings, a remarkable con-
stitution and a free-blooming habit, is
another good one. Bonnaffon and Patty
mums of high quality are grown, as
are also freesias and Paper Whites.
Mr. Weaver's cinerarias, cyclamens and
primulas are in their usually fine condi-
tion. Chester Weaver ably assists his
father in the business.

Elias Lefever, whose carnations this
year are among the finest in the county,
was next visited. A new house by the
Lord & Burnham Co., 35x158, is a re-
cent addition. Mr. Lefever 's varieties
are Pink Delight, White Wonder, Alice,
Matchless, Gloriosa and Miss Theo, the
latter being strong, bushy stock. Ward
and Pink Delight are being cut with
30-inch stems and are first-class stock.

John R. Shreiner, at Greenland, grows
sweet peas, calendulas, freesias, Paper
Whites and mums. Patty and the

are the two profitable pink varieties
grown here. ^Mr. Lefever's son, Harry,
is a partner.

A. W. Denlinger, near Mellinger's
church, on the Lincoln highway, has
several houses of good carnations, com-
prising Mrs. Ward, Matchless, Supreme
and Comfort. Bonnaflfon and Patty
mums are good for Thanksgiving sales
here. Paper Whites, sweet peas and
much spring stock are grown by Mr.
Denlinger.

.7. Wade Cayley, near Strasburg, re-
ceived us next. His new King house,
35x140, seems the acme in greenhouse
building. Mrs. Ward, Supreme, Beacon,
Alice and Matchless are grown, the
last-named being the finest of the va-
riety seen on our day's trip. Mr. Gay-
ley, who has only been in the business
for five or six years, has reason to be
congratulated on the remarkably fine
appearance of his houses.

dolph Nagel. A discussion followed
that brought out much valuable infor-
mation as to the best commercial vari-
eties to grow, etc.

B. F. Barr, who is an expert on pom-
pons, enlightened us as to the best ones
to grow. D. F. Rose, L. S. Landis and
Thomas Fries were appointed to ar-
range for our annual banquet, which is
to be held in December.

Rudolph Nagel exhibited a vase of
Chadwick Improved, Golden Chadwick
and Mrs. Edwin Seidewitz, the latter a
truly wonderful late pink.

The first cold weather of the winter
reached us last week, and for three
nights the temperature was in the vi-
cinity of 20 degrees.

Mrs. 6. Goldbach has opened a store
at Columbia. She will conduct this as
well as her present one at 140 North
Duke street, this city. Her many

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The market was in excellent condi-
tion last weelc; the demand was brisk
and prices advanced. The seasonable
stock arriving is of good quality. There
still is a glut in the lower grades of
mums, but the fancy stock is selling
better than at any time since the sea-
son opened. The retailers report busi-
ness excellent since social affairs be-
gan. The weather was good during
the week and brought out the late vari-
eties of mums. Among the new vari-
eties last week were T. Eaton, Golden
Wedding, Golden and White Chadwick,
Major Bonnaffon, Lynnwood Hall and
Seidewitz. The latter two proved good
sellers. So far the mum scfason has
been the best ever. Pompons are sell-
ing well. The demand for these has
been much larger than usual and prices
undoubtedly will advance this week.
Paper Whites now are here and clean
up daily.

Carnations are arriving satisfactorily
and show a big improvement in both
stem and flower. Prices average $2
per hundred for choice stock. Enchant-
ress and White Enchantress, also good
red and rose-pink, are in good demand.
The demand for orchids last week was
large, but they are quite scarce. Val-
ley cleans up daily at $fi per hundred,
the supply and quality of the stock be-
ing good. Violets show better color
and stem and make 50 cents per hun-
dred. Sweet peas as yet are scarce and
the few coming in bring good prices.
In greens, smilax, asparagus and flat
ferns have a big demand.

Various Notes.

President .Tules Bourdet, head of the
executive committee of the spring
flower show, says that the show will
be the best and largest ever held in
St. Louis. The chairmen of the vari-
ous committees meet at Mr. Bourdet 'a
office every Tuesday and make reports
of their progress. The Armory hall,

an opportunity for outdoor display.
The floor space of the building is large
and a grand display from outside St.
Louis is looked for.

iLechner Bros., bulb importers, have
leased the lower floor of the Caxton
building, in which they have offices,
for a show and storage room. This
firm represents the Growers' Associa-
tion of Holland. Martin Lechner, head
of the firm, says that business was
larger this season than ever before and
that orders from customers have been
doubled this year.

Invitations have been mailed by the
directors of the Missouri Botanical
Garden to the twenty-seventh annual
Shaw banquet, which will be given to
gardeners, florists and nurserymen at
the University Club, December 1. This
is in accordance with the will left by
the late Henry Shaw, founder of the
Missouri Botanical Garden. It is one
of the big events in trade circles here,
when they meet and praise the great
good Mr. Shaw did to advance floricul-
ture in St. Louis.

Charles Meier, of Kirkwood, com-
menced cutting Mrs. Edwin Seidewitz,
a lovely pink mum, and Lynnwood
Hall, a grand white variety, last week.
His Bonnaffon mums are hard to beat.
Mr. Meier will have a good cut of
Eaton mums for Thanksgiving.

Marion Uhlschmidt, manager for
Grimm & Gorlj^'s east side store, says
they have had a big run of business.
Fancy cut mums seem to take well this
season.

Charles Young, of the C. Young &
Sons Co., says that business has been
splendid in all lines this season. The
fut flower and bulb departments have
been extremely busy. James Young,
president of the company, says that
the new ranch at Olivette will produce
some excellent stock for the spring
trade.

Ostcrtag Bros, have one of the finest
glass-front delivery automobiles in the
city. They report a splendid trade in
all lines.

Eichard A. Tubisen, head of the
Ayres Floral Co., reports a large trade
in fancy cut mums last week. The
splendidly decorated windows of this
company attract many buyers.

little advertisement in The Eeview has
doubled their mail orders for pots in
the south and west. Charles E. Mande-
ville, manager of the factory and kilns,
is working the big force overtime to
catch up with orders.

George Angermueller says shipping
orders of supplies and cut stock have
been excellent. The firm was short-
handed last week, owing to the illness
of Fred Alves. This kept Harry
Schlechter and the boss on the jump.

Martin Seeger, of the MuUanphy
Florists' downtown store, reports a
number of large funeral orders last
week and a big call for fancy cut mums
and Beauties. The big show windows
on Eighth and Locust streets are filled
with the choicest stock.

W. H. Kruse, the Arsenal street flo-
rist, reports an excellent business. He
will furnish flowers for one of the big-
gest weddings of the season. A big
lot of choice cut stock will be used.

The turn of the tide seems to be in
sight at last; even a week of cold, win-
try weather with unusually low tem-
peratures for mid-November failed to
give trade any fillip, but roses have
shortened now and, while mums and
carnations continue a little groggy, the
worst seems to have passed and the ap-
proach of Thanksgiving may further
stimulate business. Chrysanthemums,
or at least the main crop sorts, have
had the reverse of a profitable season,
with prices varying from $4 to $16 per
hundred, and the higher price only for
fine flowers. There is no money in main
crop mums for the growers. Some
strictly fancy flowers from one or two
growers have made $3 to $4 per dozen,
but they are the exception and not the
rule. Such varieties as Chadwick,
White Chadwick, Roman Gold, Rager,
M u r d 0 c k , Nagoya, Bonnaffon and
Shrimpton are much in evidence. Prob-
ably as many Bonnaffon mums come in
as all others combined. Pompons of
good colors have sold well; so have
one or two colors in singles.

Beauties have shortened and are
about equal to calls made. The same
holds true with all other roses. Prices
have improved on nearly all grades.
Carnations have had an unprofitable
time, but are doing a shade better.
Cold weather shortened violet supplies
and prices had an advance of fifty per
cent. Good snapdragons sell well; also

the December meeting, when the annual
election of officers takes place, there
will be a stereopticon lecture on green-
house construction.

The nomination of officers for next
month's election was as follows: For
president, James Methven; vice-presi-
dent, A. K. Rogers; secretary, W. N.
Craig; treasurer, S. J. Goddard; execu-
tive committee, P. M. Miller, W. J.
Kennedy, A. K. Rogers, G. W. Hamer,
Duncan Finlayson, W. C. Rust, W. H.
Judd, Thomas Coles, J. F. Briry.

Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab-
ington, Mass., exhibited two vases of
seedling carnations. S. J. Goddard had
vases of Doris, Rosalia, Laddie, Nancy
and other good seedlings; also a fine,
new reflexed chrysanthemum.

There were 250 present to hear Mr.
Davey, who showed 200 stereopticon
views. Three new members were
elected.

Various Notes.

These officers were elected at the an-
nual meeting of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, November 18:
President, R. M. Saltonstall; vice-presi-
dent, N. T. Kidder; trustees for three
years, S. M. Weld, A. W. Preston, E. S.
Webster, E. B. Dane; nominating com-
mittee, M. A. Patten, William Sim,
N. T. Kidder, J. K. M. L. Farquhar,
William Downs.

The T. J. Grey Co. has leased the
whole of the sixth floor of the building
at 16 South Market street and will move
there in January. The company's in-
creasing business has compelled it to
secure more commodious quarters, which
the new building will afford.

M yean' experience in the florist busGiess gaarantees
•fBciency to take care of all* orders. 20 per cent allowed

roses, Tipperary and Bedford Belle, the
latter a pretty, light pink variety. Kil-
larney Queen, Ophelia and Beauty are
good among the older varieties.

Harry Quint this season has done a
large bulb business. His location in
the Back Bay district is ideal for this
class of trade. Of Paper Whites his
purchases were no less than 100,000.
He bought Darwin tulips and narcissi
heavily. Of such varieties as King
Alfred narcissi, at 75 cents each, the en-
tire stock has been sold. Cut flower
trade with him has been good of late.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
has finished a fine crop of Chieftain
and Pink Supreme mums, but Bonnaffon
and Chadwick now are good. Among
carnations Good Cheer is doing much
better with him this season. Alice
beats all for productiveness. Benora,
Beacon, Champion, Lady Northcliffe,
Pink Sensation, Matchless and Pink De-
light are other leading varieties.

William E. Fischer, for a number of
years one of the assistant superintend-
ents in the Boston park system, leaves
this week to succeed E. O. Orpet as
superintendent of C. H, McCormick's
estate at Lake Forest, 111. The good
wishes of numerous friends goes with
Mr. Fischer and all are sure he will
make good.

The latest greenhouse asters seen lo-
cally are those coming from Anderson
Bros., of Woburn, who also are large
shippers of pompon and anemone chrys-
anthemums, calendulas, single violets
and cosmos.

The cold weather of last week
checked bulb buying in some measure,
but all the stores have their stocks
pretty well depleted. E. & J. Farquhar
& Co. are extremely busy on landscape
work, having some large western as
well as eastern contracts.

Harry Cedar, who opened a flower
store a little over a year ago in Castle
square, has much enlarged, remodeled
and repainted his store. He says busi-
ness with him is good and steadily
growing.

The Halifax Garden Co. is getting a

Benora, Ward, Alice Coombs and Pink
Sensation carnations. The best roses
here are Ophelia, Killarney, White Kil-

tically all this concern's mums except
Bonnaffon now are cut.

Frank P. Putnam, of North Tewks-
bury, has two houses of pompon mums,
which he expects to hold until Christ-
mas. A large proportion of Mr. Put-
nam's carnations now are shipped to
New York.

John W. Foote, of Reading, still is
cutting a fine lot of fancy Bouvardia
Humbokltii. His Pink Delight, Match-
less, Beacon and White Wonder carna-
tions are equal to the best.

Tliomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills,
finds no carnation superior to Alice. It
is doing far better with him than it
did a year ago. Benora, Pink Delight,
White Enchantress and White Wonder
arc his other favorites.

Wax Bros, report business as holding

were well received, and with the mem-
bers in sympathy with the N. A. G.
there should be a good representation
at the Washington convention.

Nominations for officers for 1917
being in order, the following were pro-
posed: For president, John Barnet, R.
Boxel, A. E. Bousey, J. Carman; vice-
president, A. Davidson, Robert Taylor;
secretary, Manus Curran; treasurer,
William Thomson, Jr.; executive com-
mittee, William Gillies, William Thom-
son, Jr., A. E. Bousey, A. Davidson, R.
Boxel, T. Carman, J. Barnet, Wm. Bee-
ler, J. Jones.

M. Curran and J. Barnet were ap-
pointed to attend the next meetings of
the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gardeners'
Club and the Western Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, and to get things
started on the proposed fall show for
1917. It was left to the executive com-
mittee to arrange for a ladies' night in
January.

A most interesting paper from the
National Association of Gardeners on
"Horticulture as a Profession, from
the Standpoint of a Gardener," was
ably read by John Carman, to whom
a vote of thanks was accorded. The
next meeting will be held at 7:.30 in-
stead of 8 p. m. Twenty-one applica-
tions for membership were received.

J. W. Edmondson, manager of the Cal-
ifornia Seed Growers' Association, San
Jose, Cal., was in Chicago last week.

As prices in canned goods continue to
advance, canners are feeling more pros-
perous than they have for several sea-
sons.

Mrs. W. T. Philipps, wiffe of the well
known seedsman of Toledo, has been
spending the week in Chicago visiting
relatives.

S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, is visiting several large
cities in the middle west to look after
some important interests.

Steamers from Marseilles are bringing
considerable quantities of seeds of the
varieties on which the French government
has placed no export' restrictions.

W. W. HoisiNGTON, of the Leonard
Seed Co., Chicago, spent November 20
and 21 at Minneapolis, attending the
Minnesota canners' convention.

More than one seed dealer has figured
it out that the demand for seeds this
season will be sufficient to permit some
measure of economy in catalogue distri-
bution.

The Wisconsin canners' convention,
held in Milwaukee, November 13 to 16,
was most successful in every way. Good
business, both as concerns immediate
shipments and future contracts, is gen-
erally reported.

The boat from Eotterdam which
reached New York November 17 brought
538 cases of valley pips, sixty cases con-
signed to a forwarding agent and 478
cases consigned to a Holland bulb house
that has a permanent representative in
New York.

The following will be among those
present at the Indiana canners' conven-
tion at Indianapolis November 23 and 24:
Arnold Eingier, W. W. Barnard Co., Chi-
cago; A. H. Smitli, Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago; Chas. Guelph, Jerome B. Rice
Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y.

It is reported from New Zealand that
the harvest of rye grass and cocksfoot
will be good, but these crops are not
gathered until the new year, so that it is
too early to make promises in the matter.
Conditions, however, are said to have
been favorable up to the end of October.

Inquiries for all kinds of seeds and
onion sets are coming in heavily, while
prices steadily advance. It is expected
that there will be many shortages and
disappointments this year, as it is certain
there are not enough seeds to supply the
demand, which will undoubtedly be fur-
ther stimulated by the high cost of all
food products.

The tenth annual convention of the
Minnesota Canners' Association was
held at Hotel Radisson, Minneapolis,
November 20 and 21. Minnesota is
coming to the front in the matter of
packing sugar corn and the meeting
was attended by representatives of sev-
eral seed houses that make a specialty
of canners' varieties of sweet corn.

Chas. P. Guelph and wife, Cambridge,
N. Y., were in Chicago November 16 to
18.

The Indiana state canners' convention
■will be held at Indianapolis, November
23 and 24, at the Claypool hotel. These
meetings have in previous years been
good and are considered second only to
the Wisconsin convention.

The Holland salesmen are landing at
New York from every Eotterdam boat
and within a few weeks there will be
about 125 of these energetic gentlemen
searching out the bulb buyers. They
come instructed to get materially higher
prices than last year.

The high prices of all food products
insure an unusual demand for all vege-
table and field seeds for the 1917 season.
In view of the fact that seed stocks in
general are the smallest in years, the
present prices of seeds are more than
justified by the economic situation.

lic by the Bureau of Foreign and Do-

Commerce, indicate that for the nine
months ended September 30 the imports
of seed reached a total of 18,500,000
pounds, which is a million pounds more

than were imported during the com-
plete calendar years 1913 and 1814 and
nearly double those for the full year
1912.

Before the war Germany was the
chief source of sugar beet seeds, but
the trade is now in the hands of the
Russians. In the fiscal year 1914 Ger-
many supplied nearly 9,000,000 pounds
out of a total of 10,250,000 pounds, the
remainder coming chiefly from Austria-
Hungary, Russia and Holland. In the
fiscal year 1916 Eussia supplied 5,881,-
946 pounds out of a total of 9,042,490
pounds. Imports of beet seed into the
United States for the calendar years
1914 to 1916 were as follows:

Years— Pounds.

1914 17,567,062

1915 4,029,022

1916 (9 months) 18,474,905

Exports of refined sugar in the first
nine months of 1916 totaled 1,388,650,-
984 pounds, or nearly fifty per cent
more than during the whole calendar
year of 1915, three and one-half times
more than in 1914 and twenty-six times
more than in 1913.

SEED OKDEBS COME TO U. S.

How the European war has changed
the channels of the seed trade is illus-
trated by the statistics of imports of
seeds into Colombia through the port
of Cartagena in 1914 and 1915:

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The Amzi Godden Seed Co., of Bir-
mingham, Ala., is moving into new
quarters at 2205 Second avenue, where
better facilities will help to increase
business.

The Gordon-Gammill Seed Co., of Bir-
mingham, says it is comparatively
easier to sell than to supply, especially
in advance orders, considering the pres-
ent condition of stocks.

In the account of my interview with
Walter W. Harndcn, of the Hamden
Seed Co., Kansas City, two years should
have read twenty-two years, this be-
ing the length of time this well known
house has done business at the same
stand, and, believing a removal almost
equivalent to beginning all oyer again,
the company prefers to be inconveni-
enced for a while and remain in the
building during the reconstruction.

The Pedersen Commission & Seed Co.,
of St. Louis, reports a large demand for
products of all kinds. In addition to
a full line of seeds, the company han-
dles much farm produce.

The Yopp Seed Co., of Paducah, Ky.,
which specializes in onions at this time
of the year, says that, in all its years
of experience, onions never were so
scarce as this year. The pure seed law
is benefiting the retailer in that he has
no inferior grades of seeds to compete
with — the law requires that they be
designated as inferior — is the opinion
of George Yopp.

The Hall Seed Co., of Louisville, Ky.,
reports a good demand for market gar-
dening seeds; also grasses of all kinds.

The Ohio "Valley Seed Co., of Evans-
ville, Ind., does a large retail business
in field seeds. Clean, bright stocks of
timothy and clover were noted, and I
was informed that, with the new pure
seed law in force, better prices may be

Blossom sweet clover is becoming pop-

Wood, Stubbs & Co., of Louisville,
are handling heavy stocks of grasses,
especially orchard and blue grass.
Prices are firm, with little prospect of
their being lower on account of the
absence of foreign stocks. Advices
from New Zealand state that the grass
seed crop there is almost a failure.
"While grasses are our strong suit, we
are heavily interested in stocks of beans
and watermelons," observed Frank
Stubbs. "We are moving 3,000 pounds
of the Kleckley's Sweet, the favorite
of all, and expect to turn over a
carload of melon seed through the
senson. In beans Kentucky Wonder is
a leader, although we recently shipped
100 bushels of Refugee Wax, at $6 per
bushel, and the same quantity of Bur-
pee's Stringless Greenpod, at $9 per
bushel. This will give you some idea
of the range of prices. Wardwell 's
Pencilpod and Hodson's Wax are fair-
ly plentiful with us. We anticipate a
shortage later, especially as the latest
advices from California indicate a 60-
per cent crop. We are fairly strong on
turnip seeds, and are cabling accept-

The Market.

Stock continues to clear each day,
lilies and a few mums being the only
flowers inclined to drag. Hoses are
steady in supply and demand, with all
varieties clearing well. Mums are of
good quality and seemingly not in over-
supply. Choice Bonnaflfons arrive from
a large Toledo grower each day. Val-
ley and violets are in adequate supply.

Various Notes.

The Atlas Floral Co. has taken over
the Klagge & Klagge store on East
Grand Eiver avenue, near Broadway.
The new management anticipates good
business this season.

Jack Carey has moved to his new
location and finds business there brisk.

J. Breitmeyer's Sons' park store has
started a new department in its base-
ment, comprising a line of pottery and
glassware for plants and flowers.

M. A. Leganger, of A. L. Eandall Co.,
Chicago, was a visitor last week, and
Mr. Hill, of Pittsburgh, stopped off for
a few days on his trip back to Pitts-
burgh. Julius Dilloff, of Schloss Bros.,
New York, also was a trade caller.

flower show to be held next June was
made at the November 13 meeting of
the Newport Horticultural Society. In-
teresting reports were made by William
Gray and James Robertson of the re-
cent New York and Tuxedo flower
shows. Andrew J. Dorward, liead gar-
dener for Mrs. Thomas J. Emery, Mid-
dletown, was awarded a cultural certifi-
cate for a new Chinese plant. It was
with general regret that the society
learned that John Forbes, who has been
head gardener for several years for
August Belmont, was leaving Newport

tate of Charles H. Schwab, at Altoona,

Mr. and Mrs. James C. McLeish, sur-
rounded by their children, grandchil-
dren and friends, celebrated their gold-
en wedding anniversary November 13.
Fifty years ago, in 1866, they were
married, in Scotland, and during the
evening the couple went through the
marriage ceremony for the third time,
the second being on the occasion of the
celebration of the silver anniversary,
twenty-five years ago. Mr. McLeish came
to New York from Scotland in 1867,
and to Newport in 1870. Two years
later, in August, 1872, he purchased his
present property and has been in busi-

WATEBBUBY, CONN.

Business has improved considerably
in this section during the last two
weeks and we are looking forward to a
busy winter. This district is receiv-
ing a large share of the munition work
and high wages are being paid the
worker.

The growers, though, are hard hit, as
it is almost impossible to hire common
laborers. It is a question whether or
not the florists will be greatly benefited
by the munition boom, as the necessities
of life are so high in price that they
leave the people but a small surplus to
spend on flowers.

Then again, the increased cost of do-
ing business cuts the florists ' profits al-
most in two. For instance, errand boys
whom we formerly paid $4 or $5 per
week now demand $8 and up per week.

Eureka, Cal. — It is understood that
the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, estab-
lished here by C. W. Ward to grow
stock in competition with Europe, has
had such good success with its first
crop of forcing plants that all the aza-
leas and rhododendrons available for
shipments this season have been sold.

San Bernardino, Cal. — As the long-
est established florist in this city, Mrs.
Hurtt always has an attractive store
decoration, and when I called recently
business was reported good along all
lines. Nearly all the flowers used are
grown in Mrs. Hurtt 's own greenhouses
a few miles from the city and close to
the famous Arrowhead hot springs. Al-
together there is about 15,000 square
feet of glass, and the quality of the
flowers shown at the store indicates that
skill in growing comes first at the
range. — H. E. Eichards.

San Diego, Cal. — Although in a way
eminently successful with her "Eose
Garden of Hospitality," Mrs. Jessie C.
Knox intimates that expenses have
been far out of proportion to the re-
turns. Mrs. Knox is down on the Pan-
ama-California Exposition program as
the originator of the Potpourri Eose
Garden, which she conducts for the
pleasure of exposition visitors. Since
the beginning of 1915 each visitor has
been given roses free of charge — and
visitors to California usually are "flow-
er-hungry." The potpourri offered is
a jar of fresh rose leaves mixed with
other blooms and spices, used to scent a
room. This is an item of sale.

LOS ANGELES.

The Marke';.

Business continues on the up-grade,
thanks to a number of parties and
other social affairs and an exception-
ally large quantity of funeral work.
Orchids and good mums are among the
scaroe articles this week, and as frosts
have been reported from various points
around the city the outdoor stock prob-
ably will be shortened considerably.
Violets are coming in finely, large, well
colored and fragrant blooms, in quan-
tity. Small white flowers are scarce, a
few Paper Whites being about the only
stock obtainable. Grand Monarquo
narcissi, from locally grown bulbs, are
more or less plentiful and useful, but
they do not fill the bill as white flow-
ers.

Valley still is scarce a:nd high in
price, and is likely to be for some
time yet. A large number of orange
and lemon-colored African marigolds
are offered, the lemon-colored flowers
being preferred because of their less
pronounced odor. A fine lot of late
Mrs. Francis King gladioli is being
shipped by a local grower and meets
with a good demand. Among the
smaller flowers, scabiosas, French mari-
golds and centaureas are coming in
freely and there still is a quantity of
yellow pompons.

Eoses are in shorter supply again,
both indoor and outdoor stock. Cecile
Brunner roses are plentiful and quite
a number of Irish Fireflame blooms are

used in baskets. Already large arrivals
of evergreens are noted and threse will
be in big demand from Thanksgiving
on. Asparagus is not quite so plentiful
as it was and is firmer in price. Plants
are making their appearance in larger
numbers daily.

Various Notes.

C. J. Groen is already bringing in
good stock from his new place at
Montebello, showing what can be done
in a short time by hustling. Not con-
tent with flowers alone, Mr. Groen has
been using up some of his superfluous
energy in planting out fifteen acres to
cabbage.

, Darling's Flower Shop is a most at-
tractive place these days. Eecently a
specialty was made of violets and hun-
dreds were sold . A large window was
filled with violets and arranged with
mirror effect.

Bernard Tassano and N. Gandelfo
have started in business here as the
Santa Cruz Evergreen Co., with prem-

ises at 101 Winston street. Bernard is
a brother of Tony Tassano and has
been associated with Tassano Bros, for
some years. He is a young man with
plenty of vim and go, as well as a lika-
ble disposition. All in the trade will
wish him well in his new venture.

Fourth street still looks good as the
florists' center. O. C. Saake is coming
out with a new automobile for delivery
and says that business is good.

J. W. Wolters had a big job on hand
last week at a coming-out party at
the L. A. Country Club house.

I called at Frank Lichtenberg's store
last week to see the new fountain that
is to be fixed, but as I could not get
past the door I concluded that they
were busy and postponed the visit.

F. Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
made a flying trip to Santa Barbara
last week.

At H. W. Turner's place the rose
stock is splendid and prospects are good
for an elegant Christmas and early win-
ter cut. Even now every rose is sold

as fast as it can be cut and there is
not likely to be any surplus again this
winter. The new dwarf Baby Doll is
largely propagated, several stock
benches of it and many thousands of
young plants being grown. It is a
most taking little flower and the de-
mand for plants is constantly increas-
ing.

S. Murata & Co. report shipping trade
as better than usual at this season,
while local trade is greatly in excess
of anything previously noted. Orchids
have been in heavy demand in the bet-
ter class of stores.

J. Nelson, of the California Cut
Flower & Evergreen Co., has returned
from an extended auto trip taken in
the interests of his firm. He drove
over 2,900 miles in three weeks, cross-

flower market. The supply of lingering
summer stock was cut off almost entire-
ly and practically all the seasonable
flowers show some effect of the change
in temperature. The cold has held
back the carnations to a considerable
extent, and, in some instances, the
growers who did not have their houses
heated lost many plants. The full ex-
tent of the damage has not been ascer-
tained as yet. The chrysanthemum
growers probably sustained the greatest
loss, their plants being killed in some
localities even under cover. Around
Redwood City, where the temperature
dropped to 21 degrees, the damage was
severe. In San Mateo and vicinity
growers fared better, it is reported,
having saved much of their crops.

So far there have been enough chrys-
anthemums to supply the local demand,
and as shipping dropped off consider-
ably before the freeze the local trade
has not suffered for want of supplies,
but it is feared that the Thanksgiving
crop will be greatly curtailed. Pom-
pons were damaged some, but evidently
not so much as the large mums. The
shortening up of other stock and rather
short supplies of roses caused a sharp
advance in prices on nearly all vari-
eties of roses. On some varieties the
price has been doubled. American
Beauties show better quality and are
in good demand at prices ranging from
$5 to $7 per dozen, retail. Some dam-
age to violets was reported in certain
localities, but heavy supplies continue

to arrive and the shipping demand is
all that could be desired. There is a
good cut of Paper Whites, but it is too
early for these to sell well. Cut cycla-
mens are well taken and potted cycla-
mens are more of a feature. Orchids
are extremely scarce. There are plenty
of greens, including brakes, asparagus
and adiantum. Moderate offerings of
Bermuda lilies are readily absorbed.

Various Notes,

Mark Ebcl came down from Sacra-
mento, Cal., a few days ago. He re-
ported the recent flower show given in
that city a great success. Five florists
of the city participated, and made a
good showing, but no names were used,
it being a general and not competitive
show.

The Growers' Cut Flower Co., of Ked-
wood City, Cal., reports the loss of all
its big mums during the recent frost,
but it saved many pompons.

Manager Axell, of the E. W. McLel-
lan Co., reports a heavy shipping move-
ment of violets.

MacRorie & McLaren have several
large houses of good poinsettias coming
on for the holidays.

Some of the retailers have been us-
ing cut white cyclamens effectively in
corsage and basket arrangements, to
take the place of lily of the valley,
which is not to be had at any price
here.

Charles Backman, formerly connected
with the trade in Oakland, has accept-
ed a position with Joseph's. Another
new man is Bert Harris, who was with
the concern once before and has since
held a position in Sacramento.

F. C. Bertrand, manager of Joseph's,
is devoting all his spare time to prepa-
rations for the holiday season.

The Misses Hannon, on Sutter street,
say that business has picked up since
election and that they hope to keep
busy during the remainder of the year.

Among the large jobs recently han-
dled by Pelicano, Eossi & Co. was the
decoration for the formal opening of
Suey Sing Tong's new store in China-
town. The proprietors insisted on hav-
ing everything on the American plan.
Quantities of chrysanthemums were
used.

The first section of the ocean beach
esplanade, running from a point just
below the Cliff House 1,500 feet south-
ward, has been completed at a cost of
$75,000, and the improvement has been
turned over to John McLaren, superin-
tendent of Golden Gate park, for land-
scape work.

The Market,

Winter visitors are already arriving
and business is beginning to strengthen.
A rather heavy frost November 13 crip-
pled a good deal of the outdoor stock.
Violets are scarce locally, but some
good stock is being shipped in. Chrys-
anthemums are mostly coming from out
of town, as are all the indoor roses.
Local supplies of greens are a little on
the short side.

of the fruit men, and as a result many

Flowers move well and bring good
prices. Stock is sufficient in all lines
to meet a good demand. An unusual

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

A drop in temperature to a point sev-
eral degrees below freezing occurred
November 11 and continued through-
out the following week. The disagree-
able weather caused a slight depression
in business and destroyed the few out-
door flowers which had survived the
frost of October 3. So far as reported,
no great damage was done, although the
freeze came unexpectedly. The cut of
mums probably was at its maximum
and the stores showed them in great
variety.

Various Notes.

M. Fochheinier, proprietor of the
Floral Studio, was obliged to go to the
hospital for an operation. He has re-
turned to his residence, but as yet is
not attending to any business.

D. A. Sherwood, representing the Mc-
Gill Seed Growers' Co., of California,
recently called on the trade in the in-
terest of onion soe(L He reported that
prices had advanced on sood for 1917
and 1018 delivery.

A. Hanson, of Vancouver, Wash., was
in town November Ifi. IJc said that
hiisiness was j^^oml this fall. Tlio frost
early in October did not hit his out-
door flowers, but he had been short of
stock all the time.

H. F. Fleisliauer, accompanied by
Mrs. Fleishauer, motored in from Me-
rlin nville November 13. He drove a
new delivery car, a Ford running gear
with a specially designed carrier body.
He said the frost early in October
caused him a serious loss.

F. A. Van Kirk reported a good cut
of carnations in October. His Novem-
ber cut is somewhat smaller, but it is
helped out by his cut of pompons.

The Oregon Agricultural College held
its third annual horticultural show un-
der the direction of Prof. A. L. Pick,
assisted by a corps of students. The
show was open two evenings and one
day, was free to the public and is re-
ported to have been the most success-
ful held by the college.

This story is going the rounds, as
related by a customer: "Everybody

what ho could do for me. I wanted
carnation seeds. He showed me a pack-
age marked 5 cents and another marked
10 cents. The packages apparently con-
tained exactly the same quantity of
seeds. 'How is it,' I inquired 'that
one pac-kage costs more than the
other.' The boy pointed to the ]0-
ceut package and said: 'These sell well,
the bloom 're more prettier, the smell
more scenticr and they're more bigger.'
After that, wliat could 1 do but buy
the 'more costlier'?"

With the passing of Dr. James E.
Cardwell, who died at his Portland
home November 15, the Pacific north-
west loses one of its most notable pio-
neer horticulturists. The deceased was
born at Springfield, 111., September 11,
1830, and came across the plains, in
1852. In partnership with his uncle,
he attempted to bring stock for a small
nursery, but this was lost in fording
Snake river. This misfortune more than
anything else caused him to take up
the practice of dentistry on reaching
Portland, then a village of 1,000 inhab-
itants, and in connection with his horti-
•cultural pursuits he followed that pro-

fession all his life. It is often said
that Dr. Cardwell planted the first or-
chard in Oregon, and while this state-
ment is not strictly true it is certain
that his enthusiasm and scientific
knowledge were of great assistance in
promoting one of Oregon's most im-
portant industries. In 1858 he took a
leading part in the organization of a
semi-official state horticultural society
and in 1889, when the present society
was formed, ho became its president
and served in that capacity for twenty
years. He also served many years on
the state board of horticulture, an ap-
pointive position. He took charge of

the state's exhibit of fruits at the Chi-
cago fair in 1893 and captured seven-
teen prizes.

A large share of the Hood river apple
crop still is held by the growers and
the recent cold spell caused some dam-
age to stock stored in buildings not
frostproof.

C. C. Ruenitz says that business has
been satisfactory this fall. He is de-
voting his entire time to his store.

GIPSY MOTH ELIMINATED.

Colonies of gipsy moths, which some
years ago in nursery stock or quarry
products found their way to Bratenahl,
a suburb of Cleveland, O.; to Ruther-
ford, N. J., and to North Castle, N. Y.,
apparently have been exterminated by
state oflScials and the U. S. Bureau of
Entomology working in cooperation, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
chief of the bureau of entomology just
published. While the trees in the
neighborhood of Bratenahl were sprayed
again as a precautionary measure, no
infestation has been found in this site
during the year. Similarly in New
Jersey, no indication of the presence
of the moth has been found.

In New York the entire park system
of Eochester has been carefully exam-
ined for fear that moths may have
gained a foothold from nursery stock
shipped in during the last few years,
but no infestation was found. In the
colony whicli was located at North
Castle a large amount of work has been
done, but only eight egg clusters were
found during the year and all of these
were outside the area which was si)rayed
last year. Work is being continued at
this point in cooperation with the state
of New York and the entire area and a
surrounding strip have been sprayed this
year.

The monthly meeting of the Eochestcr

H. Vick presiding. Four applications
for membership were made. The chair-
man in his remarks referred to the
death of one of our veteran growers,
Fred W. Vick, to the deceased's great
patience and his wonderful will power
during his severe sickness. A commit-
tee was nominated to draw a resolution.
After other business had been disposed
of, Colin B. Ogston, of the Kimball
Greenhouses, gave an interesting ad-
dress on "Carnations and Their Dis-
eases." The speaker has visited many

Mount Hope cemetery. An impressive
service was held at the family residence,
during which the Fifty-fourtli regimental
band played several selections, includ-
ing a favorite hymn of the deceased.
Among the floral tributes was a hand-
some wreath sent by the Eochester Flo-
rists' Association.

Large pillars covered with moss and
holding specimen tubes filled with
bronze pompons and about 200 cat-
tleyas, arranged with Farleycnse, with
the base of the window draped with
golden plush, made an exquisite decora-
tion at the store of George Boucher last
week.

Edwin C. Kaelber, Inc., reports good

The Market.

Chrysanthemums now are holding full
sway of the local market and the de-
mand is daily increasing. The excellent
weather of last week called for an un-
usual number of the larger heads for
corsage effects, while bunches of the
small ones were used for box sales.
Carnations are showing an improve-
ment. Violets are coming in more plen-
tifully and roses are in excellent quan-
tity. Already a number of large or-
ders for mums for Thanksgiving have
been booked and the present indica-
tions are that there will be a suflScient
supply.

The Florists^ Review

NOTEMBEB 23, 1916.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Business is holding up finely, but
there is a glut of mums at the present
writing. The weather has brought
mums on too fast and there has been
a large quantity of overripe blooms. A
good lot of mums is expected for
Thanksgiving, including Bonnaffon,
which has been grown cool, Chadwick
and Maud Dean. There will be
enough of them to go around, according
to the present outlook, but everybody
will be glad when the bulk of them is
over, as there have been times when
even the finest roses and carnations
would not move even at reduced prices.

Eoses of extra fine quality have been
coming in from our local growers.
Ophelia heads the list for quality and
is plentiful. Then come the Killarneys,
bunburst, Richmond, Kaiserin and
Maryland. Carnations are of fine qual-
ity and easily plentiful enough for de-
mands.

Snapdragons are more abundant, but
are still insuflScient for the demand. It
looks as though they will be great
sellers this season. Sweet peas are more
plentiful and are welcomed for corsage
work, table decorations, etc. Violets
are moving rather slowly, their quality
improving as the cooler weather comes.
There is little potted stock to choose
from, and the demand for it is heavy.

Various Notes.

The Franklin Park Floral Co. reports
good business, with plenty of stock ex-
cept valley, which is severely missed.

Leo Miller says he will be glad when
mums are gone, and he believes that
others are in the same boat with him
in this respect.

The Munk Floral Co. is featuring
wreaths with good results and has dis-
posed of large quantities of mums.

The Hardesty Floral Co. reports a
good batch of decorations lately.

Sherman Stephens & Son have had a
good outlet for stock in cemetery work
and report that their town trade has
been heavy. J. M.

New Ulm, Minn. — At the New Ulm
Greenhouses William Turner has estab-
lished its commercial standing this sea-
son. The grower is J. H. Anderson and
his bench of Turner has been one of
the local sights.

Denver, Colo. — Practically all the
leading florists participated in the
flower show recently given by the Den-
ver Society of Ornamental Horticul-
ture, the first flower exhibition held
in Denver in sixteen years.

How Much are Dead
Flowers Worth?

There is no market for them except the

garbage can. And that means not only loss of

sales and profits, but it represents money out,

because you must pay for your stock whether

you sell it or throw it away.

If you could realize on all the blossoms that now
wither in stock and are discarded, think how much
your profits would increase by stopping this loss. And
at no additional overhead or expense.

You can do it with a

McCray Florists
Refrigerator

The McCray patented system of refrigeration pro-
vides for a cool, even temperature and keeps your
flowers fresh and salable, preventing loss from with-
ered stock.

The McCray Florist Refrigerators come with plate
glass doors and sides which show the flowers attrac-
tively. The different compartments vary in size to
accommodate the various lengths of stems.

The woodwork of the McCray may be had in any
finish to match your store's interior decoration. The
linings may be had in either bevel plate mirror or
white enamel, are handsome and easy to clean.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

is the result of a long series of seedling crosses, beginning
with Beacon and Victory. It comes with long and always
strong stems early, and the bloom never appears sleepy. It
is an all-season scarlet and always high-grade, never splitting
the calyx and never off color. Come and see it growing.

The Markets.

There was little change in market
conditions last week. Chrysanthemums
still are the leaders. Roses are in good
demand, with carnations and other
items moving slowly. There is a good,
steady call, but there have been no
big days and no large funerals to cover
the surplus.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Tri-City
Florists' Club was held at Van Der
Veer park, in the residence of Superin-
tendent C. O. E. Boehm. It was the
best attended meeting of the year.
After inspecting the greenhouses and
chrysanthemum show, which was fully
up to its usual high standard, the meet-
ing was called to order by President
Stapp. After the routine business, C.
J. Reardon read a well prepared and
interesting article on chrysanthemums,
which was followed by a general dis-
cussion.

The question of holding a Tri-City
flower show was taken up, and a reso-
lution favoring a flower show was
unanimously passed. The following
committee was appointed to look after
the preliminary work of holding the
show: Rock Island, L. Stapp, H.
Gaethje, C. Sorensen; Moline, J. Staack,
William Knees. Sr., A. Anderson; Dav-
enport, H. Pauli, T. Bills, C. J. Reardon;
Bettendorf, William Goos, P. G. Pear-
son, Frank Davis. The committee is to
report at the next meeting.

The club members then partook of
supper and extended a vote of thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. Boehm. The next
meeting will be held Thursday, Decem-
ber 14, with A. Anderson and C. Soren-
sen as hosts.

Various Notes.

William Knees, Jr., and Henrietta
Lutt were married Saturday, November
11. The couple are on a wedding trip
to parts in Nebraska.

Julius staack & Sons have a new yel-
low chrysanthemum that looks like a
good one. J. Staack reports trade
good for the time of year, with a few
big days in decorative work. W. G.

The Market.

The weather last week was cold and
helped market conditions to some ex-
tent. The supply of chrysanthemums
has not decreased to any extent, but
the flowers have cleaned up better and
there is a smaller surplus. Bunch mums
still are coming strongly and selling
well. There is an especially big de-
mand for yellow, but the supply is suffi-
ciently large to take care of all or-
ders. Chadwick and Bonnaffon mums
are in fine shape and move well. These
two varieties will be in fine shape for
Thanksgiving and there possibly will
be other varieties in the market, al-
though it seems as though all but Chad-
wick and Bonnaffon will be through by
that time.

Koses are in good supply and sell
well; the cut is not so large as it has
been. The demand is fairly strong and
this stock is moved readily at fair
prices. Russell and Ophelia are having
the greatest call, but the supply about
equals the demand. Carnations are
plentiful. The stock is in good shape,
but owing to the big mum supply it is
not selling any too well and prices have
suffered to some extent.

There is a good supply of fine or-
chids and the cut is moving readily.
Lilies are plentiful but move slowly.
Valley is scarce and holds firm at $6.
Violets, Wisconsin-grown, are in good
supply and the quality is satisfactory.
They sell well and bring fair returns
for this time of the year.

Various Notes.

C. C. Pollworth, who has been ill
with stomach trouble for about a week,
has fully recovered and, accompanied
by Mrs. Pollworth, has gone to Powell,
Wis., where they will hunt for a short
time. Mr. Pollworth goes after game
each year and always brings back a
trophy as a testimonial to his marks-
manship.

J. McGregor, who suffered numerous
injuries some time ago when he was
thrown from his rig, is again able to
be about and is receiving congratula-
tions from his many friends on his
rapid recovery. He has resumed his
duties with the Forest Home Cemetery
Association, where he has been em-
ployed for many years.

There has been some excitement at
the establishment of the C. C. Poll-
worth Co., lately, and two members of
the force are wearing happy smiles.
These two are Charles Gutbrod, who
was presented with a baby girl Novem-
ber 33, and Frank Bojar, who became
father of a bouncing boy November 9.

Inc., visited the local trade Friday, No-

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

Conditions are about normal for this
time of the year. During last week we
had a touch of real winter weather and
this no doubt helped bnsiness to some
extent.

Julius, the Florist, reports an un-
usually big week of funeral work. For
one funeral he made forty-five pieces,
many of which were large, including a
casket cover.

William M. Post, who is associated
with Edward M. Pierce, spent the week
in New York.

H. A. .Tahn reports plenty of funeral
work. He has been unusually busy
lately.

Some of the best carnations in the
city are being cut at the establishment
of Edward M. Pierce, on Cottage street.
Mr. Pierce also is marketing some good
single violets.

Sweet peas at the establishment of
S. E. Shaw are in fine condition. His
carnations are looking well.

ERIE, PA.

Two weeks of sunshine brought in
stock in great quantity, but there has
been no perceptible increase in the de-
mand. At this time of year fine weath-
er not only increases the supply but
also keeps many of the best customers
of the retailers away from their city
homes. Last week, however, business
was much better.

J. V. Laver has purchased the Will-
iam F. Kasting Co. greenhouses, which
are planted entirely to roses. Mr. La-
yer intends to operate the place as a
wholesale proposition in connection
with his retail range.

Greenhouse Heating.

SuBSOBiBEBS Ere invited to write the
Editor of this Department vrith regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Beview to make a choice of ap-
paratuB 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.

DEFECTIVE CIRCULATION.

Some time ago I wrote to you about
my new greenhouse, which is 23x100
and has two feet of glass in the sides.
I told you I did not want pipes under
the benches. I have put seven 2-inch
pipes as returns on eacli side and one
2-inch flow pipe on each plate. Now,
I may not have followed your direc-
tions closely enough, for I do not have
satisfactory results. The main flow
pipe rises six feet above the top of the
boiler, forming the highest point in the
system, and enters the house at each
side of the door. Then each flow drops,
say, two feet, slopes to the plate and
runs along till it enters the header,
and that is where I think the trouble
is. The opening for the flow pipe is
in the middle of the header and I told
the steam fitter it should enter at the
top of the header. When we started a
fire, the top pipes of the returns — that
is, the three above the opening in the
middle of the header — were cold and
the bottom ones were extremely hot.

L. M.— Can.

The trouble described might be due
to several causes, but without knowing
more about the conditions we are not
able to determine the exact source of
the difficulty. We advised using either
two 3-inch or three 2i^-inch flow pipes,
but, as we understand from the letter,
two 2-inch flows have been used. We
would not expect an even circulation
in seven 2-inch returns supplied by a
single 2-inch flow pipe, and while 21/4-
inch flows might be used we would pre-
fer 3-inch flows in the severe climate )

of Nova Scotia, especially if a temper-
ature of 60 degrees is desired.

When the returns are below the grate
of the boiler, it often happens that the
water iu the lower coils will not circu-
late, and i5 that is the case in this
greenhouse the difficulty can bo reme-
died by raising the return pipes. A
slope of one inch in fifteen or twenty
feet is all that is necessary if the pipes
are properly lined up.

As stated iu our previous reply, we
would prefer to use as flows either two
3-inch or three 2i/^-inch pipes, although
it will answer if five 2-inch pipes are
substituted.

From the data given, it is evident
that the difficulties described are due
to imperfect combustion of the coal and
this appears to result from the chim-

creased by the surrounding hills.

GARDENERS' CONVENTION.

The plans have been completed for
the annual convention of the National
Association of Gardeners, to be held in
Washington, D. C, December 5 and 6.
The New Ebbitt House has been select-
ed as headquarters. The lecture hall
of the new Smithsonian Institution has
been placed at the disposal of the asso-
ciation for its business meetings.

Members are requested to register
with the secretary at the association's
headquarters by 9 a. m., December 5,
when they will be furnished with com-
plete details of the two days' program,
which will be one full of interest and
sufficient activity to keep the visitors
occupied during their stay at Washing-
ton.

While the purpose of holding the con-
vention will not be overlooked, it has
been decided to make the meetings as
brief as possible without impairing the
business that is to come before them,
in order that the visiting members may
have all opportunity possible to enjoy
the many interesting points in and
around the capital city.

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an -easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

Figure it out for yourself and then write us your needs.

November 23, 1916.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums of all varieties now
are in their prime and dominate the
flower market. Not only are the mums
plentiful, but they also are of excel-
lent quality. The prices are reasonable,
not low. So many buyers want chrys-
anthemums that there is comparatively
little demand for other kinds of flowers,
though these are plentiful and the prices
moderate. Carnations are of fine qual-
ity and in good supply. There are
enough violets for the demand and they
are reasonably priced for this season
of the year. Roses are high-priced for
the mum season. Valley is scarce and
high. Some of the florists report a
good demand for Boston ferns.

Various Notes.

Charles J. Connolly reports business
good, with stock plentiful and prices
reasonable.

Plebarny & Son, of Irvington, have
some fine chrysanthemums in their
greenhouses, but report that not so
much is realized on them this year as
in previous years. They have a fine
lot of sweet peas that will be ready as
soon as there is a greater demand for
them.

Henry Leahy & Co., of Elizabeth, had
an attractive window last week, yellow
chrysanthemums of different sizes and
shades forming the center of the dis-
play, with mums of other colors and
other flowers arranged around the sides
and at the foot of the big bouquets of
yellow chrysanthemums. Yellow baby
ribbon ran from a central bouquet to
the others.

Philips Bros, report business good,
with a large quantity of wedding work
for this time of year. Counter trade is
good. R. B. M.

Denver, Colo. — Business is excellent
and there already is good inquiry for
Christmas stock. J. A. Valentine, presi-
dent of the Park Floral Co., says the
indications are that blooming plants
are almost certain to be sold out before
the middle of December.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

The weather was ideal last week and
business was good as far as the retail-
ers were concerned. There was a large
quantity of decorative work and fu-
neral pieces were abundant. The
annual Wisconsin-Minnesota football
game created an unusually large de-
mand for mums and other flowers rep-
resentative in colors of the two big
universities.

Excellent roses were obtainable last
week and carnations showed great im-
provement in the matter of size of
flower and length of stem. Easter lilies
are in short supply and the quotations
are high. The same conditions prevail
as to valley. Bouvardias and cycla-
mens of good quality are more plenti-
ful and have a good sale. Primroses
also are of special merit. Ferns and
basket combinations seemed to be the
features of last week's store windows,
which, as usual, were well trimmed.

Various Notes.

The sixth annual dance of the Min-
neapolis Florists' Club will be given
November 24, in the Royal Arcanum
hall, 3011 First avenue, south.

A week of good business is the report
of the Whitted Floral Co. at its two
stores. The display windows were dis-
tinctive in that they suggested the time
of the year — early winter. Thanksgiv-
ing and football.

The R. M. Chapman Co. has been re-
organized and the business will be con-
ducted under the name of W. H. Lill
Co. R. M. Chapman is opening a new
store on Marquette avenue.

The Hennepin Flower Shop, a new
establishment situated in the heart of
the business district, has had an auspi-
cious start in business.

The fiftieth annual meeting of the
Minnesota State Horticultural Society
will be held in Minneapolis, at the
West hotel, December 5 to 8. In joint
meeting will be the Minnesota Flower
Garden Society, the Plant Breeders'
Auxiliary, the Minnesota State Florists'
Society, the Northwestern Peony and
Iris Society and the Vegetable Garden-
ers' Association of St. Paul and Min-
neapolis. There will be lectures each
day and questions pertaining to horti-
culture may be asked by anyone. There
will be a display of plants by W. H.
Boflferding December 4. Roses will be
staged December 5 and chrysanthe-
mums and carnations December 6. Bas-
kets and bouquets will be displayed
December 7. The tentative program
of the Minnesota State Florists' So-
ciety meeting is as follows: "Storing
and Handling Gladiolus Bulbs," by G.
D. Black, Independence, la.; "Re-
sources of Present-day Florists," by
W. E. Tricker, St. Paul; "Greenhouse

"POT FAMINE HERE."

In a recent issue of The Florists'
Review there appeared an item under
the caption, "Pot Famine Coming."
That was correct as far as it went, but
if the manufacturers of flower pots had
their say in the matter I believe they
would have said "Pot Famine Here."
I hear that one pottery is facing an
8-hour day, with no reduction in the
weekly wage and with Saturday after-
noons off; another pottery is facing ita
third ten per cent raise; another is
handicapped by the lack of coal, due
to the freight congestion; another is
being troubled by delay in the delivery
of a new boiler; another had to change
to coal as fuel because of the pro-
hibitive cost of natural gas; and sev-
eral others have complaints of like
nature — each is having its own new
troubles, in addition to its old troubles
of coal, labor and material costs.

The munition factories have taken
all available labor and the demand for
machinery of course has increased the
costs of machine supplies.

The whole trouble is this: On ac-
count of the scarcity of labor during
last spring* and summer, it was impos-
eible for the potteries to make up the
necessary stock, as usually is done dur-
ing the spring and summer. With little
stock on hand when the season opened
and with the usual demand for pots,
but with depleted working forces —
working, as it were, from hand to
mouth— orders piling up, men quitting,
almost daily notices of advancing
prices of materials, continual demands
by employees for more money and less
working hours — matters have come to
a rather bad state. One potter says
that he feels as though he were no longer
"boss" and that he must shake hands
every time he goes through the fac-
tory, take his hat off and be extra nice
to all employees. Between visiting the
trade, pleading for additional time for
delivery of orders, chasing the railroad
freight agents for delayed shipments,
and looking for new labor, the manu-
facturer has to figure out whether or
not his books show a balance on the
right side. The potter certainly has
his hands full!

However, I am sure that all the pot-
teries of the country are well equipped
and willing to do more business; but
the labor shortage and coal situation
are reasons why you may have to wait
for your pots.

Makers' Credit Association.

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems;
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

The value of a pure white, light-reflecting sur-
face, which will diffuse and re-use every ray of
light, cannot be over-estimated.

Greenhouse White will stay white — therefore,
it is the paint to use.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business last week was satisfactory.
There was plenty of funeral work,
which managed to keep the stock mov-
ing. Chrysanthemums still are plenti-
ful, as the midseason and late varie-
ties are coming in at the same time.
Some fine Chieftain, Eaton, Turner, Ap-
pleton, Eager and Dr. Enguehard mums
are to be had at reasonable prices.
BonnaflPons also are in good supply.
Carnation receipts are larger, but these
are not moving fast on account of the
heavy call for mums.

Roses remain abundant, with the
quality good. Violets are beginning to
clear daily. Lilies are in short supply,
but good sweet peas were seen in sev-
eral of the stores. Greens of all kinds
are in abundance. Potted chrysanthe-
mums are selling much better than in
Erevious years. Paper Whites are here,
ut as yet are not numerous.

Various Notes.

T. B. McClintock is bringing in some
good primulas and cyclamens, for which
he finds a ready call on account of the
scarcity of blooming plants. He is cut-
ting good carnations and mums.

Miss G. Jenkins, formerly with B. E.
& J. T. Cokely, has accepted a posi-
tion with the New York Floral Co.

Miss M. Burns, of Baldwin's, is con-
fined to her home with illness.

J. P. Brown reports trade good, with
mums and roses the best sellers. The
force has been busy during the week
with funeral work.

N. Christie has resigned his position
with the New York Floral Co. to enter
business for himself at Hazleton, Pa.

J. T. Cokely has returned with a book
full of orders, after a trip through New
York state.

The B. E. & J. T. Cokely force has
been working night and day getting
out Christmas orders.

Mr. and Mrs. William MacDonald and
Miss A. L. Besancon attended the New
York chrysanthemum show.

While none of the retailers won the
prize in the window-trimming contest
of the Scranton Advertising Club,
many of them made fine displays. The
judges, however, did not seem to think
that florists' windows are as good as
the jewelers', so a jeweler won the
prize. It is a bad idea to class flower
stores with art, china and jewelry stores
and then try to judge them. A. L.
Besancon & Co. received honorable
mention in the awards. Muir & Co.
had an attractive window which repre-
sented a debutante reception. In the
center was a parlor table, with an elec-
tric lamp on it. On the left stood a
model "opening" a box of handsome
chrysanthemums. The background was
palms, ferns and mums. F. J, M.

Note the way the cypress vent
header is supported by the purlin
and the way the purlin is secured
to the rafter by a good husky
fitting.

Whether solid glazing or side sash
are used, we always use a cypress
member beneath the plate. The sash
are hinged to it. We will gladly tell
you why other method^are not what
the.y are cracked up to be.

Some Differing Differences in
Our Wide-Spaced House

I

N the first place, our glass is 20
inches wide instead of the 16
used by others.

Our rigid framing method, and
the way we glaze, have proven, after
several years of trying tests, to be
just as practical with the 20-inch
as with the 16.

As a result, we use only 7 roof
bars between rafters instead of 9.
This doing away with 2 bars, as you

Hitckitvecs

MEW YORK OFnCE

at once appreciate, makes a much
lighter house. From the ridge to the
eave plate, midway between rafters,
w^e run a ^-inch round steel sag
rod that prevents any chance of the
purlin sagging, because of its long
stretch.

These are just a few of the dif-
ferences. Our Supply Book illus-
trates and describes them all. Send
for it. Make careful comparisons
with all other constructions.

Detroit, Mich. — Alexander Czar-
necke, foreman of the city's conserva-
tories at Belle Isle, during the last
month has smiled on the world with
the joy that Peary may have felt when
he stood at the North Pole, for Mr.
Czarnecke has evolved, he says, seven
new varieties of mums, seedlings raised
in the park conservatories.

Beading, Pa. — A record-breaking at-
tendance marked the closing hours of
the flower show held in the Auditorium
November 9 to 11 under the auspices
of the Beading Florists' Association.
Early in the evening of the last day
the exhibitors journeyed in automo-
biles to the Mineral Spring hotel, where
they enjoyed an informal dinner.
Charles H. Grakelow, of Philadelphia,
who was the guest of honor, gave an
interesting talk, touching on trade con-
ditions in the east. The Reading flo-
rists are already considering plans for
next year's exhibition.

INFERIORITY

»f

That is a safe general rule; in the case of CYPBESS as THE Greenhouse Lumber it is an absolute
truism. Small wonder that those who urge the "substitute" have but the one cry, "cheaper." But the
substitute is NOT "cheaper," except as to initial cost.

The only businesslike way to figure material costs in Greenhouse building is BY THE YEAR.

There's nothing consolingly "cheap" about repair and replacement bills. The truly cheapest -green-
house is the one that shows the least totals — at the end of a term of years — first cost and up-keep together.

By that rule CYPBESS for greenhouse construction has all other woods beaten at the start. It is the
absolute cheapest, figured by the years of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with "Pecky" Cypress for cer-
tain parts, the wood cannot be substituted by any other material ever grown or made. Talk of a "substitute"
is worse than bosh. It is not quite square. If contractors would say: "We can build you a greenhouse of
cheaper wood," that would do, for the so-called "substitutes" are all cheaper in first cost. BUT MOEE EX-
PENSIVE IN THE END. Do you caret You bet you do — you're a business man as well as a flower grower.
"The Building Age," August, 1912, issue, page 409, in specifications for a small greenhouse, says: "These
timbers should be made of Cypress, for on account of its straight grain, strength and durability, this has been
found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOB QBEENHOUSE CONSTEUOTION. "

Built by us for Robert Semrau, at Detroit, Mich.

Here is a nice range of greenhouses which we built this past summer. Our latest style of "Bolted-
Thru-The-Pipe" purlin fittings are used in the superstructure.

Perhaps you don't know exactly what we mean by "Bolted-Thru-The-Pipe." Of course we could
show you better than we can tell you, but we can explain a bit.

Each purlin is fastened to its upright support by a fitting which goes around the purlin and is fas-
tened to the upright support by a bolt which goes not only through the fitting, but also through the up-
right itself. The ordinary fitting just damps the two together and a windstorm can lift your roof off
the support.

Our greenhouses have lots of other fine points and we would be glad to tell you about them if you
will just drop us a line. Estimates and sketches free.

Some Things No Other Builder Does

JUST because one builder does things that no
other builder does, may be because no other
builder thinks they are worth doing.

Then again some builders don't do some of the
things others do, because it costs too much to do
them, and leave the larger profit they are bound
to make you pay them.

The things we do are worth doing.

Worth it to the house.

Worth it to you.

In our Semi-Iron House— here are four things
that we do, that no other builder does:

1. The bars are fastened to the ridge by a
steel bracket.

•J. Where bars need to be spliced, it is done
with a special no-leak clamp tight joint.

3. The clamp column fittings are malleable
iron, made to carry three bolts (not just
one or two).

4. The capping over the pipe purlin end, keep-
ing out moisture and preventing insects from
lodging there.

These are not all the things we do different.
.Tust some of them. For ths rest send for Special
Pipe Frame or Semi-Iron Circular.

Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct from the greenhouses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us
to fill all orders with strictly fresh stock. This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

BOTH TILI^HONea

< CLEVELAND. O.

:iovember 15, 1916.

The 'Vhite Company,
Cleveland, Ohio.

Dentlemen:

I purchased my first White three-quarter ton truck In
May, 1914. Since that time it has been constantly on the go,
making deliveriee in Cleveland and its suburbs, and has always
given dependable service. It is economical to operate, costs
very little for repairs and appears to be as good today as when
I purchased it.

!5ince I installed motor delivery service I have not
only reduced my yearly delivery costs by a worth-while margin,
but their greater speed has enabled me to expand my business
over a much larger territory. The trucks have advertising
value too, for they bring my name before the public every day.

The best proof of my satisfaction is expressed in my
purchase of three additional White trucks this year.

Very truly yours,

KIRCHNERS.

NEW YORK CITY

The GEO. W. CRAWBUCK CO. takes much pleasure in announcing its removal to its new and elegant store
at 47 West 28th Street, between 6th Avenue and Broadway, convenient to all trolleys, the Elevated R. R. station
and the subways. We now have every facility for handling satisfactorily the products of our growers. Shipments

We handle the choicest varieties of Roses, Mums, Carnations, Lilies, Violets, Valley, and every seasonable flower.

Among our leading Specialties are

BUDLONG'S FAMOUS ROSES, In 20 Varieties

Among our Growers are

JACOB HAUCK, with his noted late Chrysanthemums and Easter Lilies.

RYDER BROS., W. H. STONE and H. R. McENEANY, with their high-
grade Carnations.

H. T. & A. H. FUNNELL, with Snapdragons, Daisies and Carnations.

We have handled the products of these growers and many other experts for years.
Doesn't this appeal to you who think of making' a change? Give US a trial*

MAGNOLIA FACTS

flYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnoha Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions. „ r'i^'^

flDye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

in prices since the war began,

f(y.

\S.<MiCeuHitda,

as have also the paper cartons.
In spite of this, we are m posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnoha Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

<LWe guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war. and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

H.You fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as tbey will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

CA maKnolla leaf !■ only worth uaine'lf
it naa been luUy preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over
when you consider the poor value of these goods.

Craig Quality Christmas Plants

PLANT BASKET^

Our Plant Baskets have been so well re-
ceived that they are now a very important
feature of our Christmas business. Last
year we offered only one style in three sizes.
This year we have about twenty-flve differ-
ent numbers. All are first-class, both as to
style of basket and filling.

Nothing but highly-colored well-grown
stock is used, such as Dracaenas in variety,
Crotons, Pandanus, Ferns, etc. On account
of being filled early and becoming estab-
lished, they are bound to give you and your
customer satisfaction. We cannot recom-
mend them too highly.

Many of the baskets and window boxes are
in two-tone effect.

and the types range from narrow to very
large leaf.

We particularly call your attention to our
set of thirteen, named after the "Thirteen
Original States," which have won highest
honors wherever shown.

NEPHROLEPIS JOHN WANAMAKER

Introduced August, 1915

The Wanamaker Boston has more than
made good. Everyone who has received
early shipments from us has been greatly
pleased with the variety and repeat orders
have been coming in dally. We have a very
large stock.

A "sport" from Nephrolepls Scholzelii,
with longer, narrower, gracefully drooping
fronds. It is not so compact in growth as
Scholzelii, 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
Nephrolepls.

THANKSGIVING MAKES
ANOTHER GAIN

It is easy^o see that flowers are iecoming a necessity in the lives of an
increasingly large number of people, as, with food prices the highest ever
known, the sales of decorations for the table have beaten the record of any
previous Thanksgiving.

.Ml

HOSE florists who chart their sales, so that
they need not base their plans on tricky mem-
ory, found at the opening of this week they had
need of the largest quantity of stock ever pro-
vided against Thanksgiving orders. In the an-
nals of the trade Thanksgiving has been known
for years as "an extra good Saturday" and
the week as "one with two Saturdays." The
estimate will have to be revised. Thanksgiving
has been on the up grade for several years. In
1914 we attributed the increase to a special
degree of thankfulness due to the recent shock
of the war in other lands. In 1915 we credited
the gain to the wave of returning prosperity,
a prosperity that is at high tide today.

Flower-buying Is a Habit.

But in 1916 let it be said that flowers have
become so fixed as a part of the needs of the
American people that they hold their place re-
gardless of the rising cost of living that has
an appreciable influence in other lines.

In the provision trades they once spoke to
us patronizingly, commiseratingly, because, as
they said, flowers were "a luxury"; it was to
be expected that a florist would have harder
sledding than almost anybody else, for almost
everything was more necessary
than flowers. But we are en-
titled to look with sympathy
on, to deal gently with, the
man who says that now. Poor
fellow; he doesn't know!
Flowers today will grace many
a Thanksgiving table that
sees no turkey! Flow-
ers have become a ne-
cessity— if not to all
the people, at least to
a great many more
than ever before, and
not by any means all
of them wealthy.

We will agree that at Thanks-
giving it is a case of "just a
few flowers for the table." But
there are over 20,000,000 tables
in the United States! So is it
any wonder the last Thursday in
November is one of the impor-
tant special flower days? Not
always has been, but is.
So we florists have a dou-
ble reason to be thankful
— the same reason everyone
else has and the extra rea-
son that ours is one of the
few trades that profits
increasingly by this hol-
iday, a holiday which
steadily becomes more
Sabbath-like.

It is apparent florists

CHRISTMAS NUMBER

OUT DECEMBER 14th.

good Thanksgiving. There were plenty of flowers; they could
be offered at moderate prices; everybody bought some. It
was quite turning the tables on the provision man, who had
to pay so much for his stock he could sell less than usual
even though he cut his profit thin.

Anyone reviewing the Thanksgiving business will be sure
to note that it was the moderate-priced stock that was in
demand, a little better grade than usual, perhaps, but still
the "sensible" length. It always is so when people buy
flowers for their own use.

At Christmas one can count with reasonable
certainty on the call being for the more costly
grades of stock, but for Thanksgiving short to
medium roses, carnations and pompon mums are
the big sellers.

A Difference in Demand,

"You know before a customer tells you,"
commented a thoughtful retailer the other day,
"what is to be done with the flowers selected.
The long-stemmed Beauties, the 4-foot Eussella
and the largest mums are gifts for somebody
who might think one 'cheap' if more useful
flowers were sent. But the flowers to go to
one's own home are 12-inch roses, a few carna-
tions or a bunch of pompons."

One of the noteworthy features of this
Thanksgiving was that the
trade increased, the quantity
of flowers sold made a gain
practically without special ef-
fort on the part of the trade.
What would it have been had
everybody pushed the way
Mothers' day is pushed? Busi-
ness conditions have
been so good this au-
tnimn that many flo-
rists dealing with the
public have relaxed
their efforts to sell,
which makes the largo

done this
better.

But here a word about Christ-
mas, now only a few days dis-
tant. Don't let Christmas go by
without some special advertising
of flowers for use as gifts. Let
it be known, also, that flowers
and plants are one com-
modity that still can be
bought at moderate prices
— at the prices one is accus-
tomed to pay, for the ad-
vances in this trade are
nothing like the in-
creased prices of other
Christmas gifts. It is
an argument we can
make much of. We can
give splendid
values and
make friends.

WILL YELLOW TURNER SUIT?

Can you tell me the name of any
yellow chrysanthemum that is similar
in habit and size to Wm. Turner?

G. E. Y.— Okla.

One yellow chrysanthemum that
■comes into bloom at the same time as
Turner and has the same habit, etc.,
is Yellow Turner. This is a trifle light
in color and, if you are looking for a
deeper yellow, Odessa would answer the
purpose. Chas H. Totty.

JAPANESE ANEMONE MUMS.

The Tuxedo Collection.

The Japanese anemone-flowered chrys-
anthemum was grown considerably more
twenty-five years ago than it is today.
At that time the varieties like Judge
Hoyt and Le Chatillonaise were our
atandbys. They gradually dropped
from cultivation and at this time are
almost forgotten.

It is, therefore, a great pleasure to be
able to report a renaissance of the
Japanese anemone mum. Carl Schaef-
f er, of Tuxedo, N. Y., has been working
patiently on this type for the last fif-
teen years and the resulting varieties,
which he calls the Tuxedo collection,
and which I am describing in the suc-
ceeding notes, created something ap-
proaching a furor at the exhibitions
in New York, Philadelphia and Tuxedo
this fall.

Mr. Schaeffer has succeeded, by a
process of elimination, in getting to-
gether a remarkable collection of this
type, and a visit to his place this fall
created an impression not easily for-
gotten. He had one entire house de-
voted to these anemone mums and they
were certainly a wonderful sight. Mr.
Schaeffer is over 80 years of age, al-
though one would not think so when
listening to his sprightly conversation
and noting the ease with which he walks
about among his pets, as he calls the
Tuxedo collection. It is doubly pleas-
ing to be able to chronicle his splendid
success at this age, while he is still liv-
ing to enjoy the fruits of his many
years of labor.

A Cultural Hint.

In growing these anemones, Mr.
Schaeffer sets the plants out on the
bench in early May and allows three
shoots — consequently three flowers — on
each plant. When grown in this man-
ner, they leave nothing to be desired
either in size or finish.

One of the prettiest of the entire set
is Innocencia, the outer petals of which
are pure white and the quilled center
petals beautifully flushed pale pink. The
edges of the individual petals are lined
with light yellow. This is a chaste and
beautiful sort.

Old Eose, as its name implies, is old
rose in color. The center, which of
course is prominent in all of the true
anemone type, is over six inches across.
The flowers that I saw were all nine
inches across and these were grown five
or six flowers to a plant. The center
tubular petals are tipped with gold and
make a splendid contrast. Old Eose is
one of the most generally admired of
the entire collection.

H. J. Heinz showed up as the largest
of the set. The outer petals, like the
center, were also tubular and stood
straight out at right angles from the
center. These petals are light canary
yellow, but the center is a deep bronzy
orange. This is a strong-growing vari-
ety and is most impressive, standing
straight up, stiff and erect, with a
marshal-like aspect of trimness and
neatness.

Exceptionally Full in Center.

In Clemencia the ray petals are deep
pink, shading in the tubular petals to
a deeper shade of pink. The center
petals are exceptionally prominent in
this variety, as the outer or ray petals
fall down considerably. Many of the
ladies who saw this variety on exhibi-
tion insisted on handling it, sinCe they
claimed it looked like a flower cut from
tissue paper.

Graf von Fleming is one of the most
charming and refined varieties. The
color is a pale lavender. The inner
petals are not so prominent as in some
of the others of this type. The outer
petals are tubular until about half an

inch from the edge, when they open and
droop back in the most graceful and
artistic fashion.

Wee Wah is the name of an old In-
dian village in Mr. Schaeffer 's neighbor-
hood and he desired to perpetuate the
name by applying it to one of his vari-
eties. The general effect in the color
of this variety is bronzy yellow, some-
what of a flame color. The outer petals
look as if gold dust were powdered
over its crimson-yellow surface, it
glistens so in the sunlight. Wee Wah
is a dwarf grower and wonderfully ef-
fective when grown as an exhibition pot
plant.

Pepita also is a refined looking
flower. In this variety the orange-yel-
low center predominates over the pale
pink of the outer petals. The latter
are much more numerous in this variety
than in any other of this type, and this
permits its being used more extensively
as a cut flower for shipping than many
of the others. The indications are that
a large number of this anemone type
will be grown for the market next year,
and Pepita is the most valuable for that
purpose.

A Special Favorite.

Yellow Prince was my favorite of the
entire collection. The outer or ray pet-
als droop considerably and the center
tubular petals are loosely arranged, giv-
ing the flower a much more light and
airy appearance than is possessed by
most of the others in this set. The
color of the ray petals is light yellow
and the shading gradually runs to
orange in the center of the flower. Yel-
low Prince is one of the most attrac-
tive of the group in color and style
of growth.

Graf von Oriola is a particularly
strong grower. As in the case of Heinz,
the petals are stiff and crisp. The color
is a pure rose-pink and the tubular
petals in the center are all tipped with
bright gold. The ends of the outer pet-
als in every case incurve slightly, in-
stead of drooping back as some of the
others do, and this makes the flower
much larger and gives it a bold ap-
pearance.

Titian Beauty is well named and the
picture does not begin to do it justice.
The color is a rich bronze, shaded in
the center to what is practically scarlet.
This is a striking variety and effective
in its combination of coloring. A table
decoration I saw in Tuxedo, arranged
with this variety and autumn foliage,
was the most novel I have ever seen.

Wilfreda is particularly strong in
stem and foliage. The outer petals are
numerous and placed at right angles.

These ray petals are pale yellow. The
tubular petals in the center shade to a

It is a magnificent variety in every way.

Juno is deep lilac, shading to white.
The center petals are of a deeper shade
than the ray petals and are loose and
graceful in effect. It is a large variety,
with remarkable foliage and stem. The
stem is stiff and erect.

This is the finest break we have had
in many years in mum growing and I
predict that the interest in the 1917
exhibitions will be greatly increased in
consequence of these anemones being
introduced to the trade.

PBOFAGATINa DBAC.SNAS.

Can you tell me how to propagate
Dracaena Lindenii and Dracaena gra-
cilis t E. P.— Ore.

Such dracsenas as Lindenii and gra-
cilis can be propagated by rooting the
tops in sand, or by ringing them. The
latter method consists in making a cut
clear around the stem, pushing pieces
of toothpick in to keep the cut open,
tying moss around this cut and keep-
ing it constantly moist in a warm
house. When the moss becomes filled
with roots, the wood can be cut off and
potted. These dracffinas can also be
propagated by cutting the stems into
short lengths — one inch is sufficient —
covering these with sand in a warm
propagating bench and keeping them
moist. Growths will start in a few
weeks, and when the roots start to
form the portions of stem can be potted
and kept close and warm until es-
tablished. C. W.

FUEL FAMINE EASING UP.

Mr;rsvirr8vir)«\irirwr)«viri«virirstir)«vir/sviri«virrw

FINCH IS LESS SEVERE.

Cars Are Being Supplied.

Although there are hundreds of flo-
rists who will not agree with the state-
ment, the coal situation is easier than
it was. The great outcry has resulted
in speeding up the movement, and espe-
cially the unloading and return, of cftrs,
as the railroads have found themselves
the goat and have been making great
efforts to relieve the conditions for
which they are responsible.

Deliveries have become more regular
for the growers who are dealing with
responsible people and who have estab-
lished reputations for meeting their
own obligations promptly.

Contracts and Credits.

The situation is one that brings the
business methods of sellers and buyers
into the bright light and shows them
up for what they are. Beyond ques-
tion, the best of coal producers have
been prevented from living up to their
schedule of deliveries by the shortage
of cars, but they all have had some
cars, equal to at least fifty per cent of
their mining capacity, and they have
been able to malce at least that per-
centage of deliveries on contracts, prob-
* ably more, because mines do not usu-
ally contract up to full capacity. The
dependable concerns have been giving
the contract customers every pound
. shipped, selling absolutely no coal on
the open market. The untrustworthy
producer has been "stalling" the
holder of a contract with the story of
the alleged impossibility of getting cars
and selling his output at the high prices
now prevailing in the open market.

Each florist will know from his expe-
rience which class of producer he has
contracted with this season and will
know what to do next year.

But obligations never are all on one
side and this is a time when the florist
finds a record of the prompt payment
of bills is a decided advantage. If the
florist has failed to make payment as
agreed, he has broken the contract and
has no claim under it the other party
does not choose to recognize.

Many Florists in Bad Flace.

Each day brings new reports of
greenhouse establishments that are on
the verge of closing up or freezing up.
Nothing that has happened in years
has so vividly illuminated the average
florist's lack of preparedness, the want
of forehandedness that for years has
been a handicap on the development
_ of the trade. There are hundreds, even
thousands, of greenhouses in which the
fuel supply has been permitted to be-
come a hand-to-mouth affair. Eepeat-
ed warnings that the arrival of cold
weather would bring trouble failed to
stir them and today for every grower
who has his bunkers full there is an-
other who is dependent on tomorrow's
deliveries for the next night's fire.

The florist who has been buying regu-
larly in one place and paying bills
promptly is in a position where, even

if his supply is low, he will be taken
care of up to the limit of the ability
of the coal concern with which he deals,
but the man who still owes for last
spring's fuel is in a precarious position.

Frlces a Idttle Easier.

The number of florists who have con-
tracts for coal is small in comparison
to those who must pay whatever price
is asked. The larger places nearly all
have contracts, for they would not have
become large had not the managers
been men who could look ahead, but
some ranges in which the fuel bill al-
ways has run to quite a figure find it
necessary to pay the market price,
which is anything the seller asks, up to
three times the summer rate.

As to how and why the market eased
the Coal Trade Journal says:

"The anthracite situation has quiet-
ed noticeably within the week. It is
not that the supply has increased or

that the demand for coal at the regular
price has subsided, but the panicky
feeling on the part of consumers has
disappeared for the time being. With
the public less clamorous, retail dealers
are not so much inclined to offer ex-
travagant prices for immediate deliv-
ery, and as a result smaller premiums
are being obtained by independent
operators and middlemen.

"A sudden let-up in the demand for
bituminous developed right after elec-
tion and the market has weakened
slightly since then. Various theories
are advanced to account for the change
of heart on the part of consumers.
None is entirely convincing in itself,
but each has probably played its part.
About the most logical deduction is
that many steam users who were short
of coal have managed to secure enough
on their contracts and outside orders
to carry them along for a while and
have decided not to buy any more in
the open market until their stocks are
again nearing exhaustion or until prices
recede.

"Looking to the future, it must be
said, however, that there is every indi-
cation of a strong and steady market
for bituminous coal and the movement
from the producer to consumer is reg-
ulated largely by the car supply."

CRYSTAL WHITE NEXT YEAR.

David S. Ward, of the carnation de-
partment of the Cottage Gardens Co.,
asks the Keview to print the following
paragraph "to correct a wrong impres-
sion":

' * The impression seems to be widely
prevalent in trade circles that the Cot-
tage Gardens Co. 's new carnation,
Crystal White, is to be disseminated
this season. The company is at a loss
to know where this impression origi-
nated, as it has never been their in-
tention to send out Crystal White until
next season and they never made any
statement that could be construed other-
wise. The only carnation they are send-
ing out this year is Cottage Maid and
they wish to assure the trade that
Crystal White will not be on the mar-
ket until the season of 1917-18."

cidal properties whatever and should
be used only in combating insects, such
as aphis, thrips, etc. For the rust you
need to usj such remedies as Bordeaux
mixture. Grape Dust, sulphur on the
steam pipes, etc. First pick off as many
of the affected leaves as practical and
then either spray the plants thoroughly
with the Bordeaux mixture or dust them
with the Grape Dust. Mix some sul-
phur and lime in equal proportions with
enough water to make a thick paint,
and paint one of the steam pipes with
it. Keduce your syringing to a mini-
mum, always keeping a sharp lookout
for signs of red spider. Give all the
ventilation possible and keep the plants
growing vigorously. A. F. J. B.

TO CHECK CARNATION RUST.

I am sending you some leaves of my
carnations, which show signs of some
sort of disease. The symptoms of the
trouble have appeared only on a new
lot of plants which were shipped to me
from another state. The disease was on
them when I received them, but has be-
come worse, though it has not yet
spread to my other plants. What shall
I do to check the disease? I have used
a nicotine spray. A. G. — Okla.

WORMS ON CARNATIONS.

We are sending you some worms,
which we think are wireworms, though
we are not quite sure. They are spoil-
ing our carnations. They work up the
stem, eat out the. heart, and spoil the
leaves. The soil seems to contain quan-
tities of the worms and lime has no
effect on them. Can you tell us the
most economical way to rid the soil of
themf M. F. C— Colo.

The disease you complain of is the
well known carnation rust. This is not
affected in the least by nicotine spray-
ing. In fact, the nicotine has no fungi-

The specimens appeared to be of the
wireworm type. Lime will have no
effect on them, but if you procure some
carbon bisulphide, obtainable at all
drug stores in 1-pound cans and selling
at about 25 cents per pound, you can
clean out these and all other soil pests.
Bore holes twelve to eighteen inches
apart each way in the benches with a
sharply pointed stick, pour a scant tea-
spoonful of the carbon in each hole

and immediately cover it with soil.
The carbon forms a gas which will kill
all soil pests and is not injurious to
plant life. As you cannot reach the
worms inside the stems or on the foli-
age with the carbon bisulphide, it
would be advisable to spray the foliage
with arsenate of lead, at the rate of
three pouivds to fifty gallons of water.
This will not burn the foliage, but will
somewhat whiten it.

When working with the carbon bi-
sulphide do not use any naked lights,
as the carbon is somewhat explosive.
I think if you use the carbon and
arsenate of lead you will clean out the
bulk of vour foes. C. W.

GAS IN COOLING ROOM.

Last year and the year before that
we had trouble with our carnation
blooms. They would go to sleep the
day after they were cut. The stems
were long and stiff and the blooms
large, seemingly showing good sub-
stance, but no matter whether they
were cut in the morning or at night,
in one day they would be sleepy looking
and unfit for first-class sale. What was
the trouble! N. F. C— Iowa.

I am inclined to think that your
trouble is not in your houses but in
your cooling room. Could there possi-
bly be any gas there, from a gas main
or a stove? There is perhaps nothing
that will put carnations to sleep so
quickly as gas, and it does not take
much of it to do the trick.

A. F. J. B.

REMEDY FOR STEM-ROT.

Will you please tell me what is the
best remedy for stem-rot of carnations?
I have a house of plants that are badly
affected with the disease. As I have
not had much experience with this
trouble, my best course seems to be to
call on you for advice.

G. W. B.— N. Y.

edies at the proper time, there would
be less diflSculty in controlling this de-
structive disease. By the time a plant
shows that it is affected it is beyond
saving, as it does not begin to wilt until
the disease has destroyed the bark near-
ly all the way around the stem. So the
only practical method is to treat every
plant in the house, with the hope of
reaching those that may be in the early
stages of the disease.

VVe suggest that you procure some
Bordeaux mixture and apply it with a

compressed air sprayer, shooting the
liquid in among the lower branches and
stems of the plants in such a manner
as to reach every portion. This is the
best remedy known at this time. Water
carefully, but do not run the soil too
dry. Syringe only often enough to
keep down red spider. Do everything
you can to promote a steady, luxuriant
growth, as that will assist the plants in
resisting the attacks of the fungus.
Give liberal ventilation at every oppor-
tunity. A. F.'.T. B.

New Orleans, La. — F. C. Couret has
been a successful grower of chrysanthe-
mums for the last four years. Each
season a percentage of the flowers are
lost because of rot that develops after
the blooms are a few inches in diam-
eter, due no doubt to the wettings the
flowers have received. This year there
were more chrysanthemums grown for
All Saints' day than ever before, most
of the growers having unusually good
success.

ing trade conditions. At the close of
the show he said: "Every florist seems
to be busy. Flowers are in good de-
mand throughout the state at better
prices than I ever have known to be
obtained in previous years."

New Orleans, La.— In the flower di-
vision of the live stock show, Novem-

liaeh da\ biings new reports of
greenhouse establishments that are on
the \erge et' closing up or fi'ee/ing up.
Nothing that has hajipened in years
lias so vividly illuminated the average
Ibirist 's lark of jueparedness. the want
of forehandedness that for years has
been a hamlicap on the development
of the trade. There are hundreds, even
thousands, of greenhouses in which the
fuel su]i]ily has been permitted to be-
come a han<l-to-m(iuth affair. Kepcat-
eil warnings that the arrival of cold
weather would bring trouble failed to
stir them and today for every grower
who has his bunkers full there is an-
other who is dependent on tomorrow's
deliveries for the next night's fire.

The florist who has been buying regu-
larly in one place and paying bills
promptly is in a position -where, even

if his suiqdy is low, he will be taken
care of up to th(> limit of tht> ability
of the coal concern with whiidi he deals,
but the man who still owes for last
spring's fuel is in a ]irt>c;uious position.

Prices a Little Easier.

The number of florists who have con-
tracts for coal is small in comparison
to those who must i)ay wliatever price
is asked. The larger places nearly all
have contracts, for they would not have
become large had not the Tiianagers
been men who could look ahead, but
some ranges in which the fuel bill al-
ways has run to quite a figure find it
necessary to ]>ay the market price,
which is anything the seller asks, up to
three times the summer rate.

As to how and why the nuirket eased
the Coal Trade .lournal says:

"The anthr.acite situation has quiet-
ed noticeably within the week. It is
not that the supj)ly has increased or

tliat the demand for coal at the regular
])rice lias subsided, but the panicky
feeling on the part of consumers has
disappeared for the time being. With
the public less clamorous, retail dealers
arc not so much inclined to offer ex-
travagant prices for immediate deliv-
ery, and as a result smaller premiums
are being obtained by intlependent
operators and middlemen.

"A sudden let-up in the demand for
bituminous developed right after elec-
tion and the market has weakened
slightly since then. Various theories
are advanced to account for the change
of heart on the part of consumers.
None is entirely convincing in itself,
but each has probably played its part.
About the most logical deduction is
that many steam users who were short
of coal have managed to secure enough
on their contracts and outside orders
to carry them along for a while and
have decided not to buy any more in
the open market until their stocks are
again nearing exhaustion or until prices
recede.

"Looking to the future, it must be
said, however, that there is every indi-
cation of a strong and steady market
for bituminous coal and the movement
from the producer to consumer is reg-
ulated largely by the car supply."

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

J "THE AWFUL GAP."

Thjftre are a large, number of retail
florists who operate greenhouses, pro-
dueiig cut flowers. Many of these find
it necessary to buy a part of their
stock in wholesale markets, but at other
seasons produce more in t^eir own
gr^jgnhouses than is needed for their
local retail trade and at sijch times are
consignors to the wholesale markets. It
is characteristic of such iflorists' that
thqy are unable to underst^d what one
of them refers to as "the awful ga^"
between the price they have to pay
when buying and the price they receive
for the same thing when shipping to
the wholesale market.

In the wholesaler's lexicon such flo-
rists are known as "dumpers" and
many commission houses deal with
them reluctantly. Not that the whole-
saler has anything personal against the
florist who alternately is buyer and con-
signor, but that his trade is not of the
most desirable character. Such a man
invariably orders most frequently when
stock is scarcest, when his orders are
most diflScult to fill and when prices are
at the highest. Quite the opposite, he
turns consignor at a time that the
wholesale markets are loaded with the
stock of regular shippers, at a time
when flowers are most difficult to sell
and when prices are at the lowest. Such
a man gets both extremes of the mar-
ket, the hot end in each case, and he
is not heard from at all under normal
conditions, the average conditions that
make the flower business the success
it is.

The man who grows only a part of
what he retails should understand these
conditions, for "the awful gap" is
largely of his own making and some-
thing that he will have to expect as
long as the business is conducted along
its present lines.

LET UNQLE SAM HELP.

The way paper prices have been
bumping the sky during the last year,
even little ideas for cutting down paper
bills are not to be overlooked.

An eastern manufacturer recently
sent out a notice to his dealers in which
he suggested the use of government
post cards as paper stock for small cir-
culars, or advertising that could be suc-
cessfully presented on the back of
Uncle Sam's 1-penny post cards.
Emphasis was laid on the fact that ad-
vertising literature printed on post
cards can be mailed without the labor
of stamping — the stamp being on the
card, that labor is saved.

As yet Uncle Sam has not increased
the price of postal cards, so it still is
possible to purchase this piece of paper,
postage paid, at the same cost as last
year.

' If a retail florist was to circularize
1,000 buyers of Christmas tree* by
means of first-class mail, the cost of
postage would be $20. For that sum

2,000 buyers could be reached with 1-
cent post cards, or the original 1,000
would require an expenditure of only
$10 both for postage and paper. There
would be no envelopes or letterheads to
pay for J the post cards would simply
, have td be printed and dropped in the
* mail box. If a comparison is made l)e-
twee'n the costs of using post cards and
large l^^ei^t ' circulars, the saving is in
- paper stvck. Of course, in many cases
the government card is not large enough
to present the sales idea, or it may be
too cheap-looking to harmonize with
certain propositions.

The government also furnishes
stamped envelopes, at the same old
prices. And these prices seem low now
when contrasted with prices on similar
grades of stock envelopes purchased
from paper houses or printers. Uncle
Sam also will print the envelopes h«
sells, without extra cost, and, everybody
knows that printing bills now are
higher than ever.

The government purchases post cards
and envelopes in large quantities, on
long-time contracts. Increased paper
prices cannot increase the price of the
post card, and it also is unlikely to in-
crease the cost of standard envelopes,
even if the government should have to
pay a little more.

papers. Consequently when these edi»
torial columns contain a reference to
the use of flowers it is of inestimable
value to the trade.

November 21 the Hearst papers had
an editorial entitled "Remind Me df
My Wife's Birthday," in which it re-
ferred to "an interesting view of
American married life," as follows:

Here Is, to us, a new idea that illustrates one
entertaining side of American married life.

A well-known florist sends out indiscriminately
to prosperous and supposedly affectionate hus-
bands a cheerful little postal card. On it la
written, "Date of my wife's blrthday-^remlnd
me of it."

The affectionate husband mails it back to the
florist.

Then, every year, on the birthday of "the dear
one," or- a day before, the florist rings up the
husband and says, ".what about your wife's
birthday? Any flowers?"

The husband says, "Thanks very much for
reminding me. Send up a box of roses, with
'Much Love and Devotion' written on a card.
Don't forget to remind me next year."

The wife gets the box of flowers on her birth-
day and the card with all the love and devo-
tion. The husband pays the bill and all la
serene in that happy American home.

The husband goes down to his work, making
money. ,

The wife leans back in her straight front or
crooked front corset and says to all of her
friends as they come in and ^U up their eyes
when they see the flowers, "Yes, Henry never
forgets."

A BOOST FOB US.

Perhaps there is nothing more widely
read in America than the back page,
2-column editorials in the Hearst news-

Dear Henry doesn't forget, thanks to the
florist.

How many American homes are kept happy
and smooth by these Intelligent reminders?

The Hearst papers have done a great
deal, in the news columns, to increase
the appreciation and use of flowers, but
probably nothing of greater value than
this, although obviously the purpose
was along quite another line.

Olgantemn Lilies.

Most of the giganteum lily bulbs now
have been received and the potting
should be done with as little delay as
possible. I have found that old chry-
santhemum soil suits them well. Do
not use any fresh manure or fertilizer
for lilies, or, for that matter, any other
bulbs. The 6-inch pots are the best
to use. Set the bulbs low in the pots,
leaving space for a liberal top-dressing.
You have probably noted that all the
best roots on Easter lilies come from
above and not below the bulbs. For
that reason the bulbs should be well
covered, but it is best not to do all
the covering at potting time. If you
are short of 6-inch pots you can start
them in 4-inch pots and give them a
shift later. Giganteum lilies like heat
from start to finish. After potting
them, place them on or below a bench
where a minimum temperature of 55
degrees is maintained. For some time

it will be all right to tier the pots sev-
eral deep, standing boards between the
layers of pots.

Poinsettias.

The present fall, so far, has proved
so warm and clear that poinsettias are
more advanced than ever before at this
season. Some plants, in fact, already
have bracts almost fully developed.
Some of these plants should be dis-
posed of without delay, as it is doubtful
whether they can be held in good shape
for Christmas. Care must be taken not
to subject these advanced plants to any
decided temperature changes, or a
heavy loss of foliage will be sure to
follow. Watering must now be done
with greater care. While we have
continuously clear skies it seems to
hurt plants little if they get a little
too much water, but with lower tem-
peratures outdoors, more artificial heat,
dark weather and less ventilation, the

NOVEMBKE 30, 1916.

'Yht Florists* Review

21

watering must be done carefully.
Liquid manure can be used until the
bracts are half developed; then discon-
tinue its use, or the bracts will become
soft and will lose some of their bril-
liancy.

Azaleas for the Holidays.

Such azaleas as are wanted for
Christmas should have their buds well
advanced before being placed in heat;
then they need plenty of syringing and
atmospheric moisture. Such varieties
as Mme. Petrick, Hexe and Deutsche
Perle are good Christmas standbys. A
short time ago it seemed doubtful
whetlier any azaleas would reach this
country in time for the holidays, but
recently they have come to hand in
large numbers and in good condition.
Carried-over plants will have the buds
better made up than^the imported ones
and, while they may not have so good
a color, will usually bloom much more
profusely.

Snapdragons for Spring Crop.

Perhaps you would like to grow a'
bench or two of snapdragons for a
spring crop. In such a case, now is
the time to sow seeds of such good
varieties as Silver Pink, Nelrose or
Virginia, in pink, and of a good inter-
mediate white, these being the best
selling colors. Of course you can root
cuttings also, but you will find that
seedlings possess far more vigor and a
small percentagt^ only will fail to come
true to color. A space 10x10 inches
is ample for these snapdragons when
benched. Pink is far and away the
best selling color. Next comes white,
with a smaller call still for yellow and
scarlet. We have not yet secured a
true winter-blooming pink snapdragon,
one which will flower like Phelps'
White, but we are bound to get it
before long.

Keeping Bulbs Outdoors.

By long odds the best storage place
for all Dutch bulbs is a good cold cel-
lar, or they will do well in coldframes
where sashes can be used when severe
weather arrives and where a coating
of dry leaves, straw or hay placed
above the flats or pans will help to
exclude frost. Although a little frost
will not do any particular harm, still
it may break earthenware receptacles
and would better be excluded. A good
many growers still prefer to keep their
stock outdoors. In such cases be sure
the location is a well drained one and
see that water is well supplied as long
as good weather lasts. Then cover
with soil or coal ashes and, as the
weather becomes more severe, use hay,
straw or leaves to exclude the frost.
It is not tbe most pleasant of jobs,
digging out these bulbs in winter, and
mild days must always be selected for
the work. I have found that bulbs
stored in a good cold cellar do as well
as those kept outdoors, and can be
flowered even later.

Bulb and Perennial Beds.

It is not a good plan to mulch bulb
beds until the ground is frozen fairly
hard. A mulch is given, not to keep
the bulbs warm, as many imagine, but
rather to hold some frost in and check
their top growths during winter. If
bulbs are buried under leaves or some
other dry mulch while the ground still
is soft, growth will continue right
through the winter, and in spring it

A Comer in WarendorfPst in the Ansonia Hotel, New York.

will be a hard job to uncover the beds
without breaking shoots. Furthermore,
mice and other rodents often raise
havoc in winter if the ground below
the mulch is soft.

Hardy perennials should have a
mulch of coarse, strawy manure, which
is less likely to be blown away than a
lighter mulch. Canterbury bells, fox-
gloves, sweet Williams, pansies, violas,
myosotis and daisies need to be stored

in coldframes in some cold sections, but
I have found that a mulch of dry
leaves, with a scattering of old manure
over it to prevent its being blown
away, carries them through in fine con-
dition, even if we get an occasional
minimum of 20 degrees below zero.
Merely enough leaves or straw should
be given to cover the plants; a heavy
covering will cause both foxgloves and
Canterbury bells to rot.

NOTES FRQM FOREIGN I^NDS

Ghent, Belgium. — Azaleas will cost
more in 1917. In the first place, every-
thing does; in the second place, labor
is scarce; in the third place, every en-
couragement is given to the production
of food crops; in the fourth place, there
is less than a normal quantity of young
stock coming on, so that the larger
commercial sizes are almost sure to be
in light supply for several years.

Bath, England. — The embargo on val-
ley pips of every origin has created a
demand for an English supply and the
industry of pip production is under in-
vestigation to see if it can be made
permanently profitable, as it takes three
years to turn a crop. It has developed
that Walter Ware, of Bath, has had
considerable experience in growing val-
ley pips for his own forcing and now
has a limited supply of home produc-
tion.

Lisse, Holland. — J. J. Grullemans &
Sons are responsible for the statement,
with regard to bulbs in general, that
prices of the cheaper sorts are advanc-
ing considerably. Stocks are low, as
many growers threw away large quan-
tities of bulbs the first year of the
war, and a big bulk has been used for
food. Humanity did not take kindly
to "tulip bread," but Messrs. Grulle-
mans say that cows fed on tulips and
crocus give an abundance of milk of
the finest quality. Daffodils cannot be
utilized in this way, being slightly pois-
onous, so they are a dead loss when not
salable.

Paris, France. — A trial of new roses
will take place in the park of Baga-
telle in 1917 and 1918, as in previous
years, the plants, as far as possible, to
be raised in pots, and at least five of
each variety sent before April 15, 1917.

cope with it, I feel that my brief sug-
gestion may be of benefit to the in-
quirer.

If, instead of forcing Murillo, A. D.
C. placed his pans under an ordinary
bench, on the shady side of the house,
and left them there until the buds
showed through the leaves, and then
lifted them into the light, I feel sure
that he would have no more trouble.

PBAISES DALLAS SHOW.

Permit me, as an attendant, to say a
few words of praise for the flower Show
of the Texas State Florists' Associa-
tion, which was held at Dallas, Tex.,
November 14 to 17. The exhibition
was the best ever held in Texas, in
many ways. First, the attendance was
good and grew better and more enthu-
siastic each day; second, the premiums
were larger and the show better
financed than any previous one; third,
there was an increase of fully fifty per
cent in the quantity of state exhibits;
fourth, last but not least, the out-of-
state exhibitors were many and most
liberal in coming to Dallas with their
displays.

The Texas state florists feel grateful
for the fine exhibits of plants and cut
flowers made by the out-of-state con-
cerns, of whom I mention the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., of Chicago; Gullett &
Sonffr of Lincoln, 111.; E. G. Hill Co.,
of Richmond, Ind.; Joy Floral Co., of
Nashville, Tenn.; H. S. Ely, of Neosho,
Mo.; Elmer D. Smith & Co., of Adrian,
Mich.; .T.. F. Wilcox & Sons, of Council
Bluff's, la.; Stuppy Floral Co., of St.
Joseph, Mo.; Furrow & Co., of Guthrie,
Okla.; Park Floral Co.. of Denver;

Denver; Mrs. R. E. Darbee. of San
Francisco. H. O. Hannah.

A SOUND NEW YORK OPINION.

We arc sending $^ to pay our sub-
scription to The Review for three years
in advance. This three j'ears ' subscrip-
tion is the only "more than your
money's worth" bargain we have
bought this year. The day for good
bargains for the florist is over, but un-
less the retailor jumps his price up at
least twenty-five per cent the custom-
ers will be getting their flowers at
bigger bargains than they ever have,
at the expense of the poor florist who
says, "I cannot charge them more;

they won't stand for it," instead of
going ahead and putting his prices up
so he knows he vrill tnake at least a fair
profit and living. The public does not
remember the prices-it paid last season
for flowers; the people do not keep
posted on them as closely as they do on
sugar, flour and other supplies, so if
carnations sold at 75 cents and $1 last
year and are $1 and $1.25 now, roses
$1 to $3 last year and now $1.50 to $5,
they do not say anything; at least we
have noticed no complaints on higher
prices and others won't if they ask the
increased price. So here's to higher
prices, and say nothing about it unless
questioned. Dobbs^& Son.

mas and what temperature should be
maintained? In the same house I have
poinsettias in pans. Some of them are
just beginning to show buds. We keep
the temperature about 58 to 60 degrees
at night and 64 to 68 degrees in the
daytime. Should these plants be moved
into a warmer house, where they will
get bottom heat? We cannot depend
on the sun, as this is the fourth week
and we have had only four bright days
during that time a,nd there now is four
inches of snow on the ground. Will
poinsettias keep if cut three or four
days before Christmas? What is the
best way to keep them after they are
cut and how long should the stems be?
What temperature is best for them
after cutting? H. C. G.— Mich.

POINSETTIAS FOR CHRISTMAS.

I have some poinsettias benched in
a house with Ophelia roses. They are
from six to eight feet tall and the flow-

If your poinsettias are planted out,
you cannot well lower the temperature
without injury to your roses. Even if
they are showing red bracts now and
are half expanded, they will xwt be
much too early for Christmas. Their
development will be slower from now
on, with colder weather. You can cut
the stalks two or three days before
Christmas, if you wish. As you cut
them, either sear the ends by dipping
in water as near the boiling point as
possible for a few seconds to stanch the
bleeding, or use a hot iron or a shovel-
ful of live cinders for the same pur-
pose. I like to wrap each stalk in soft
paper, leaving merely the head showing,
and stand them in deep vases of cold
water, not in an ice chest, but in a
temperature of 45 to 48 degrees; an or-
dinary ice chest is too cold for poin-

NOTICE!

To Subscribers whose address labels carry an
expiration number higher than 995 (Dec. 21, 1916).

EVERY florist knows through his own purchases what has happened
in the paper market the last few months — prices have doubled all
along the line.

And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so kind as to write that The Review is
worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the
tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to
sell The Review at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1,
1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for one
or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1,
1917, may renew for as many y«ars as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that
such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present
date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present
date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they
are mailed by December 31, 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.50 a year beginning January 1, 1917. Can-
adian renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916. will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

them.

In regard to your later poinsettias in
pans, I think they will come along in
good season. They are better without
bottom heat, but may have a top heat
of 62 to 65 degrees at night, to advance
them. Drop this gradually as the bracts
become well developed. Careful water-
ing is necessary from now on, to hold
good foliage on the plants. C. W.

SOWING SWEET PEAS OUTSIDE.

When must sweet peas be sown out-
doors in fall and how should they be
handled during the winter?

A. R. G.— O.

Fall sowings outdoors of sweet peas
should be done a week or two before
the ground freezes. The rows should
have a winter mulch of coal ashes, over
which coarse litter or leaves can be
placed. C. W.

POISONING OF THE HANDS.

Not Rose Thorns, but Bad Water.

A recent issue of the English publica-
tion, the Horticultural Advertiser, con-
tained a communication from a promi-
nent firm of growers with reference to
the irritation and poisoning of the
hands from continual contact with cer-
tain flowers, or from contact with fer-
tilizers and insecticides. The substance
of the firm's remarks is aa follows:

"Up to some six or eight years ago,
we were continually having men and
boys with bad hands, in our packing
shed. The trouble in these cases was
always most painful and sometimes ac-
tually dangerous. The direct cause of
the injury was, undoubtedly, punctures
from rose thorns, but in our opinion
this was not the only cause. We be-
lieve the greater part of the mischief
was due to the fact that the water in
which the flowers were stood up, while
waiting to be packed, got into the hands
through the punctures made by the rose
thorns.

"The water at that time was only
changed at intervals of, say, two or
three days, and this water, and the in-
side of the tins, naturally, on some oc-
casions, must have been more or less
foul. As soon as we arrived at this
conclusion, we started changing the
water every day, and we boiled the
tins at frequent intervals in strong aoda
and water, and scoured them out with
sand. Besides this, we kept a number
of vessels about the packing shed, in
which was a disinfecting solution in
which the people could rinse their hands
as often as they had occasion to. We
also kept some of the same disinfectant,
not diluted, which they could dab on
any puncture as soon as they felt one
made. Since we have taken these pre-
cautions, we have had practically no
bad hands from this particular cause.

WALTER W. COLES.

PIONEER is the designation of Walter W. Coles in the membership list of the
S. A. F., and he also was a charter member of the Florists ' Club of Philadelphia,
for he started in business in that city in 1882 and did not remove to his present
home at Kokomo, Ind., until 1891. Coles was born in England in 1857. He has
become widely known in America because of his membership in practically all the
trade societies and active participation in their affairs. He was the head of his
state organization for four years. He is a Mason of high degree. As a grower his
principal fame rests on his success with Kaiserin, a rose he grew with splendid
results without replanting for many years at a time others replaced their stock
annually. The portrait is his latest, made August 11, 1916. «

"There is another way of dealing
with water and tins or other recep-
tacles in which flowers are kept, viz.,
to add always to the water, when first
put in, enough of some strong disin-
fectant to keep the water, and the in-
side of the tins, constantly sterilized.
This, if always kept up, would no doubt
be the better plan, but we are afraid
that it is one which, in busy times,
would often be neglected.

In Handling Bulbous Stock.

"The foregoing is all about one as-
pect of this poisoning, but there are
other forms of it. Some years ago,
when we grew daffodils for cut blooms,
a good many of our people found they
could not keep on picking these blooms
without a sort of breaking-out on their
hands. We consulted the R. H. S. on
this, and were advised to see that the
people washed their hands frequently
and thoroughly in warm soap and water,
and then, before going on with the

picking, to see that they rubbed them
over with some good oil or grease. We
provided conveniences for this, saw
that it was done, and afterward had but
little trouble in this crop.

"Then we found that many of our
people, who had to handle tulip bulbs,
had painful gatherings under, and
around the quick of, their finger nails.
We are able to keep clear of this evil
now, to a large extent, by constantly
rubbing and working into the parts
affected, or likely to be affected, an
ointment which we procure for the pur-
pose.

' ' Another form of bad hands which
we think it only common sense to guard
against, is that caused through the use
of certain artificial manures and insecti-
cides. Considering what some of these
things are made of, there seems only
one way of avoiding injury through
them, and that is, not to allow any
person to touch them who has the skin
of his hands cut or broken."

THE aOOSE FLOWER.

Some species of plants, like many
human beings, have a strong propensity
toward the f reakiBh,^ the bizarre or the
sensational. We all know people of
that sort. In dress, in speech or in
general conduct they display a constant
inclination toward the grotesque. Some
of them possess a brilliant oddity of
inteUect that verges either on genius or
insanity; they are merely acting natu-
rajljr/ In -other cases the outrfi per-
formances are part of a persistent,
clever scheme of self-advertising. It
woijld'be easy, but dangerous, to cite a
few: welX-Jknowh examples of these
speeiacular self-boomers. And this
wea^j old world, satiated with the com-
monplace, welcomes or at leaM toler-
ates most of these queer specimens of
humanity.- '- ^.

^toong plants there i^e few that are
more consistently^slfreaWish in their be-
havior than; the liristolochfes. Conse-
qu'ejotly many of them are cultivated
chi,elly on Account of the extraordinary
foriDs ©f their flowers and in spite of
their defects, such as the disagreeable
odrtr of some of them^an odor which
would not be called fragrance even by
the flowers' stanchest friends.

A^ 18 wejl known, several species of
aristolochfa are named after oddly
shaped objects, animate or inanimate,
wl^h they resemble. Probably the
mtmi; familiar instance of this is Aristo-
lo<J|ia macrophylla or A. Sipho, the
Dutchman's pipe. This plant, how-
ever, really owes its popularity to its
genuine, unquestioned merits as a vine,
rather than to its flowers, which, though
curiously formed, are not especially
conspicuous. Other examples of the
fantastic among these plants are:
Aristolochia cymbifera, boat-shaped;
A, ornithocephala, bird's head, and A.
tricaudata, three-tailed. One variety
has even been named A. ridicula;
among its appendages are two long
lobes which are said to "remind one
of a donkey's ears."

Perhaps the most striking of all the
aristolochias, however, is A. grandi-
flora Sturtevantii, the goose flower, a
good specimen of which is shown in the
illustration, reposing on a lady's arm
and looking, indeed, remarkably like a
pet bird with a sleepy disposition and
an absurdly long,' slender tail. The tail
reminds one of Euclid's definition of a
line, "length without breadth." The
goose flower has other common names,
such as swan flower, duck flower and
pelican flower.

The vine which bore this particular
goose flower was grown in one of the
greenhouses of John P. Rupp, of Shire-
manstown, Pa. Mr. biipp states that
the vine had a fine crop of "geese"
in October and aroused a good deal of
interest, attracting many visitors to
the greenhouses and securing favorable
notices in the Harrisburg and
Mechanicsburg newspapers. The flower
when he photographed it, he says, was
eleven inches wide and seventeen inches
long, without the tail, which had a
length of eighteen inches. The lady in
the picture is a teacher in the school of
which Mr. Rupp has for many years
been one of the trustees, and her pupils
were among the most interested inves-
tigators of the goose flowers and the
greenhouses.

The goose flower should be grown
under glass, and one writer naively sug-
gests that it is " most suitable for large

structures," owing to its pronounced
odor. It is easily propagated by means
of cuttings taken from well matured
wood in early spring. It should be
planted in a bed of good soil, in a
warm house where it can be con-
veniently trained up pillars, rafters or
a trellis. It is not well adapted for
pot culture.

flower next summer? What protection
shall I give them for winter?

D. H.— 0.

You sowed the perennials too late to
get a satisfactory crop of flowers next
season. The sweet williams and del-
phiniums will flower, but the foxgloves
and hollyhocks will hardly be of suffi-
cient size and strength to do so. To
carry these over winter successfully,
store them in a well built coldframe
and when freezing weather arrives
cover them with dry leaves, placing
sashes over these and board shutters
over the sashes, to prevent snow from
breaking the glass. Give some venti-
lation during mild weather, but be sure
to keep the leaves in a perfectly dry
condition; then each plant should win-
ter perfectly.

Another season, if you want plants
of sufficient size and strength to flower
satisfactorily, sow foxgloves and sweet
williams early in June and hollyhocks
and delphiniums about July 1.

Sallna, Kan. — Edward Lotz, who has

located stores in the downtown district
and opened a retail flower store, han-
dling bulbs and plants in addition to
cut flowers.

8. J. Beuter.

The death of S. J. Renter, one of the
pioneer florists of New England, took
place at his home at Westerly, R. I.,
November 23, interment being Novem-
ber 26 in the presence of a large num-
ber of members of the trade from Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia and other
points.

S. J. Renter was 65 years of age Oc-
tober 7, 1916, the family having re-
moved to Westerly from Norwich,
Conn., in 1880, in which year he started
a retail florists* business which grew
to large proportions. In the course of
time a greenhouse establishment was
started on the main road from Westerly
to the fashionable Watch Hill resort,
the glass being added to from year to
year until it became the largest ra,nge
in the vicinity, known far and wide.
The place always has been kept spick-
and-span, an advertisement for flo-
rists of inestimable value. A general
line of plants and cut flowers is grown,
for the retail stores opened at Norwich
and New London, Conn., in addition to
the one at Westerly, and for the whole-
sale markets of several large cities
within easy reach.

Mr. Renter's son, Louis J. Renter,
grew up in the business, which was in-
corporated in 1907, the founder gradu-
ally relinquishing the active manage-
ment to the son, upon whose shoulders
the principal responsibility has rested
in recent years.

Joseph Henry Cushing.

Joseph Henry Cushing, one of the
most successful greenhousemen in
Rhode Island, died November 25 at his
home at Quidnick, R. I., following a
three weeks' illness. He was in his
sixty- sixth year.

Although engaged at different pe-
riods of his active business life in
several lines of industry, the deced-
ent's greatest success was achieved in
connection with the Quidnick Green-
houses. The flowers grown therein were
shipped to Boston and New York, as
well as to the smaller cities of the
east.

Mr. Cushing was born in Fiskeville,
R. I., in 1851, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Chauncey Cushing. He received his
elementary education at a private
school at River Point, R. I., and later
was graduated from the East Green-
wich, R. I., Academy and a business
college of Providence. Upon complet-
ing his course at the latter institution
he established a grocery business at
Anthony, R. I., but this was not success-
ful. Later he opened a grocery at
Quidnick, which grew rapidly. After
fifteen years he disposed of the busi-
ness to his brother-in-law and a partner.

Previous to disposing of his grocery
business Mr. Cushing developed a fond-
ness for plants and flowers, and after
the sale he invested his savings in
greenhouses. These were successful
from the start and soon covered sev-
eral acres, roses being one of the spe-
cialties. The range he continued until
about a year ago, when he sold his busi-
ness to other parties, who have con-
tinued the business under the style of
Quidnick Greenhouses, Inc.

Mr. Cashing married four times. He
was essentially a home man, but was
affiliated with the Khode Island Horti-
cultural Society and the Florists' and
Gardeners' Club of Ehode Island. He
is survived by his wife, one daughter
by a former marriage and three sisters.

William L. Eroeschell.

News of the sudden death of William
L. Kroeschell brought sorrow to his
many friends in Chicago, as it will to
many hundreds of florists throughout
the United States who did not have the
pleasure of his personal acquaintance,
but who faced his name every time
they entered their fire pits.

Mr. Kroeschell was found dead sit-
ting in an alcove just oflE the library of
the Illinois Athletic Club in Chicago on
the afternoon of November 23. He was
€1 years of age, having been born in
Nashville, Tenn., May 22, 1855. While
he was still a youth the family removed
to Chicago and he was educated in the
Chicago public schools. Although the
family long had been identified with
boiler-making, Mr. Kioeschell's first
business experience was on the board
of trade. In 1881 he became a member
of the grain commission firm of
Gerstenberg & Kroeschell, which did a
successful business until its dissolution
in 1900, when, on the death of an
older brother, Mr. Kroeschell entered
Kroeschell Bros. Co., becoming its secre-
tary and treasurer. The last sixteen
years of his life were devoted to its
business, the greenhouse boiler depart-
ment being in his special charge up to the
time its management largely was dele-
gated to Fred Lautenschlager. But Mr.
Kroeschell always took a special inter-
est in the greenhouse trade and the
business his company does with florists.
He also was secretary of Kroeschell
Bros. Ice Machine Co. and a director
in both corporations.

Mr. Kroeschell not only was a man
of thorough business integrity, but pos-
sessed unusual qualities in the way of
remembering faces and making friends,
so that he numbered among his per-
sonal friends all of the large number of
florists with whom he came in contact.
He was a life member of the Society
of American Florists, having joined in
1907j a member of the Chicago Florists'
Club, and many other trade organiza-
tions. He was one of the executive
committee that managed the recent
Chicago convention of the Vegetable
Growers' Association of America, and
his last public appearance in the trade
was as toastmaster at the banquet given
that organization at Hotel La Salle on
the evening of September"^.

In 1882 Mr. Kroeschell married Miss
Ida Spangenberg, who survives with
two daughters. One brother, Charles,
president of Kroeschell Bros. Co., also
survives.

In accordance with his wish, fre-
quently expressed, funeral services were
omitted. The remains were cremated
and the ashes interred at the family
plot in Graceland cemetery.

H. B. Burdett.

News has been received of the death
of one of the well known florists of
Seattle, Wash., H. B. Burdett, who
joined the Canadian contingent of the
Allies early last spring and proceeded
to the front in France, after receiving
the usual training at Vernon, B. C. It

might be mentioned in this connection
that Gordon Beavan, who formerly
worked at the Burdett Co. place and
went to the front about two years ago,
recently met the same fate. Mr.
Burdett had been in business for him-
self about sixteen years in Seattle,
starting at an age when most boys are
entering their apprenticeship, and
through many ups and downs he always
conducted his business in a straight-
forward and gentlemanly way. He has
left many friends in Seattle who will
deeply mourn his loss, remembering his
clean mind and upright character as an
example to be followed. T. W.

Mllo S. Crozer.

Milo S. Crozer died in a hospital at
Cedar Rapids, la., November 23.

Milo Crozer was one of the best
known men in Cedar Eapids, having
been prominent in civic and fraternal
circles for a number of years. Born
in Clinton, la., October 22, 1868, he
removed with his parents to Cedar
Rapids twenty years ago, where his
father, J. G. Crozer, founded the flower
store which has since become almost
an institution in that part of the coun-
try. Following a crossing accident in
which his father sufTered the loss of a
foot several years ago, the son retired
from the insurance i)usiness and took
active charge of the store.

He was married in Clinton to Miss
Myra Walls, and to them were born
three children, Carl, Lynn and Doro-
thy. Both boys were associated with
their father in business. Other sur-
vivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. Crozer, and three sisters.

Fraternally Mr. Crozer had a wide

acquaintanceship, holding membership
in Cedar Eapids lodge No. 251, B. P.
O. E., Crescent lodge No. 25, A. F. &
A. M., Linn tent No. 38, K. O. T. M.^
and the Woodmen of the World.

During the summer Mr. Crozer gave
up his active connection with his flower
store to accept a position with the
American Express Co., becoming its
traveling agent, leaving the business
to the sons, grandsons of J. G. Crozer^
the founder.

which they resemble. Probably the
most familiar instance of this is Aristo-
liichia macrojihylla or A. Siplio, the
Dutchman's jupe. Tliis plant, how-
ever, really owes its jiopularity to its
genuine, unquestioned merits as a vine,
rather tlian to its flowers, which, though
curiously formed, are not especially
(-■onspicuous. Other examples of tlio
fantastic among these ]dants are:
Aristolochi.a cymbifera, boat-shaped;
A. ornithoccphala, bird's head, and A.
tricaudata, three-tailed. One variety
has even been named A. ridicula;
among its appendages arc two long
lobes which are said to "remind one
of a donlccy's ears."

Perhaps the most striking of all the
aristolochias, however, is A. grandi-
flora Sturtevantii, the goose flower, a
gdoil specimen of which is shown in the
illustration, reposing on a lady's arm
and looking. indee<l, remarl<ab]y like a
jiet bird witli a sleejiy dis]»osition and
an absurdly long, slender tail. The tail
reminds one of Euclid's definition of a
line, "lengtli without breadth." The
^no«c flower has Either common names,
such as swan flower, duck flower and
pelican flower.

The A'ine whicli bore this particular
goose flower was grown in one of the
^greenhouses of John F. Rupp, of Shirt>-
iiianstown. Pa. y\r. Piipp states that

J )

tlie vino had a fine crriji of "goesi
in Octol>er an<] aroused a good deal of
interest, attracting many visitors to
the greenhouses and securing favorable
notices in the Ilarrisburg and
MiM'hnnicsburg newspapers. The flower
Aviien ho ])hotograp]ied it, he says, was
fdeven inches wide ami seventeen inches
long, without the tail, which had a
buigth of eighteen inches. The lady in
the jdcture is a teacher in the school of
which Mr. Eupp has for many years
been one of the trustees, and her pupils
were among the most interested inves-
tigators of the goose flowers and the
greenhouses.

The goose flower should be grown
under glass, and one writer naively sug-
gests that it is "most suitable for largo

structures," o\ving to its pronounced
odor. It is easily projiagated l)y means
of cuttings taken from well matured
wood in early spring. It should bo
planted in a bed of gootl soil, in a
warm house where it can be con-
veniently trained up pillars, rafters or
a trellis. It is not well adapted for
pot culture.

SEEDLING PERENNIALS.

I sowed seed of sweet williams, fox-
gloves, hollyhocks and delphiniums
about August 19. The hollyhocks and
delphiniums I have potted into 2Vj-

flower next summer? What protection
shall I give them for winter.'

I). II.— 0.

You sowed the perennials ton late to
get a satisfactoiy crop of flowers next
season. The sweet williams and del-
jiliiniums will flower, but the foxgloves
and hollyhocks will hardly lie of sufli-
cient size and strength to do so. To
carry these over winter successfully,
store them in a well built coldframc
and wiien freezing weather arrives
rover them with dry leaves, placing
sasjios over these and board shutters
o\"er the sashes, to prevent S!iow from
lireaking the glass. Give some venti-
lation during mild weather, but be sure
to keep the leaves in a perfectly dry
condition; then each plant slinuld win-
ter perfectly.

Another season, if you wnTit jilants
of suflicient size and strength to flower
satisfactorily, sow foxgloves and sweet
williams early in June and hollyhocks
and delphiniums about Julv 1.

and opened a retail flower store, han-

cut flowers.

OBITUARY

S. J. Renter.

The death of S. J. Router, one of the
pioneer florists of New England, took
])lace at his home at Westerly, R. I.,
November 23, interment being Novem-
ber 20 in the presence of a large num-
ber of members of the trade from Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia and other
points.

S. J. Renter was 65 years of age Oc-
tober 7, 1916, the family having re-
moved to Westerly from Norwich,.
Conn., in 18S0, in which year he started
a retail florists' business which grew
to large proportions. In the course of
time a greenhouse establishment w^as
started on the main road from Westerly
to the fashionable Watch Hill resort,
the glass being added to from year to
year until it became the largest range
"in the vicinity, known far and wide.
The place always has been kejit spick-
and-span, an advertisement for flo-
rists of inestimable value. A general
line of plants and cut flowers is grown,,
for the retail stores opened at Norwich
and New London, Conn., in addition to-
the one at Westerly, and for the whole-
sale markets of several large cities
within easy reach.

Mr. Reuter's son, Louis J. Renter,,
grow up in the business, which was in-
corporated in 1907, the founder gradu-
ally relinquishing the active manage-
ment to the son, upon whose shoulders,
the principal responsibility has rested
in recent years.

Joseph Henry Gushing.

Joseph Henry Cashing, one of the
most successful greenhousemen in
Rhode Island, died November 25 at his
home at Quidnick, R. 1., following a
three weeks' illness. He was in his
sixty-sixth year.

Although engaged at difTorent pe-
riods of his active business life in-
several lines of industry, the deced-
ent 's greatest success was achieved in
connection with the Quidnick Green-
houses. The flowers grown therein were
shipped to Boston and New York, as-
well as to the smaller cities of the
east.

Mr. Gushing was born in Fiskovilie,,
R. I., in 1851, a son of 'Mr. and ]\Irs.
Chaunccy dishing. He received his
elonientarv education at a private
school at "River Point, R. I., and later
was grruluatcd from the East Green-
wich, R. I., Academy and a business
college of Providenc(\ Upon complet-
ing his course at the latter institution
he established a grocery business at
Anthuuy, K. I., but this was not success-
ful, llater he opened a grocery at
Quidniek, which grew rapidly. After
iilteen years he disposed of the busi-
ness to iiis brotlier-in-iaw and a partner.

Previous to disposing of his grocery
business Mr. Cushing <leveloped a fond-
ness for plants and flowers, and after
the sal(! he invested his savings in
trreoTdiouses. Those were successful
from the start and soon covered sev-
eral acres, roses being one of the spe-
cialties. The range he continued until
about a year ago, when he sold his busi-
ness to other parties, who have con-
tinued the business under the stylo of
Quidnick Greenhouses, Inc.

The Florists' Review

Mr. CushinjTf married four times. ][e
was essentially a" home man, Imt was
alliliated with the IJhodo Island Jlorti-
eultinai Society and the Florists' an<l
(iardeners' Club of Jvhodo Island, lie
is survived by liis -uife, one dau(;;htcr
by a former marriage and three sisters.

W. II. M.

William L. Kroeschell.

News of the sudden death of William
L. Kroeschell brouj;ht sorrow to his
many friends in Chicago, as it will to
many hundreds of florists throughout
the United States who did not liave the
pleasure of his personal ac(iuaintance,
bnt who faced his name every time
they entered their fire pits.

Mr. Kroeschell was found dead sit-
ting in an alcove just off the library of
the Illinois Athletic Club in Chicago on
the afternoon of November 23. lie was
GL years of age, having been born in
Nashville, Tenn., May L'2, 1855. While
he was still a youth the family removed
to Chicago and he was educated in the
Chicago public schools. Although the
family long had been identified with
lioiler-making, Mr. Kioeschell's first
business experience was on the l)oard
of trade. In 1881 he became a member
of the grain commission firm of
Gerstenberg & Kroeschell, which did a
successful business until its dissolution
in 1900, when, on tlie death of an
older brother, Mr. Kroeschell entered
Kroeschell Bros. Co., becoming its secre-
tary and treasurer. The last sixteen
years of his life were devoted to its
business, the greenhouse boiler de[)art-
ment being in his special charge up to the
time its management largely was dele-
gated to Fred Lautenschlager. But Mr.
Kroeschell always took a special inter-
est in the greenhouse trade and the
liusiness his company does with florists.
lie also was secretary of Kroeschell
Bros. Ice Machine Co. and a director
in both corporations.

Mr. Kroeschell not only was a man
of thorough business integrity, but pos-
sesseil unusual qualities in the way of
remembering faces and making friends,
so that he numbered among his per-
sonal friends all of the large number of
florists with whom he came in contact.
lie was a life member of the Society
of American Florists, having joined in
1907; a member of the Chicago Florists'
Club, and many other trade organiza-
tions. He was one of the executive
committee that managed the recent
Chicago convention of the Vegetable
Growers' Association of America, and
his last pidilic appearance in the trad<^
was as toastmaster at the I)anquet given
that organization at Hotel T.a Salle on
the evening of September 29.

In 1882 Mr. Kroeschell married Miss
Ida Spnngenl)crg, who survives with
two daugliters. One brotlier, Charles,
president of Kroeschell Bros. Co., also
survives.

In accordance with his wish, fre-
quently expressed, funeral services were
omitted. The remains were cremate<l
and the ashes interred at the family
plot in Graceland cemetery.

H. B. Biirdett.

News has been received of the deatli
of one of the well hnown florists of
Seattle, Wash., 11. B. Burdett, who
joined the Canadian contingent of the
Allies early last spring ami proceedeil

the usual training at Vernon, B. C. It

might bo mentioned in this connection
that Gordon Beavan, who formerly
worked at the Burdett Co. place and
went to the front about two years ago,
recently mot the same fate. Mr.
Burdett had lieen in business for him-
self about sixteen years in Seattle,
starting at an ;ii;e when most boys are
entering tiieii apprenticeship, anil
through many ups and downs he always
conducted his lusiness in a straight-
forward and gonMcmanly way. lie has
left many fiitMi is in Seattle who will
deeply mourn In- loss, remembering his
clean mind and lipiight character as an
example to be i' 'lliwed. T. W.

There seems to be no limit to the sup-
ply of holly, especially as the abundance
of Christmas red berries has made the
majority of buyers indifferent as to the
number of berries on the holly.

There are reports that indicate that
there have been large losses as the result
of the unseasonable cold snap that swept
over the country November 10 to 15. The
cold wave was widespread and it de-
stroyed large quantities of unprotected
stock in districts that seldom have freez-
ing weather at this date. Also, it caught
a lot of plants on the rail, including some
important imports of Belgian stock.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

This year we get up from the Thanks-
giving dinner table and find ourselves .nl-
most in the midst of the Christmas rush.

For the same reason that it is impos-
sible for a Pierce-Arrow to get up full
speed like a flivver, The Review finds it
necessary to advance the hour of closing
its advertising forms. In the days when
there were few ads to set and not many
copies to print, it was not necessary to
get an early start, but now Tuesday clos-
ing is essential if the paper is to catch
the mail trains Thursday.

No great successes ar^ made in this
trade by trying to see how cheaply
stock can be sold, and trimming the
quality to fit thie price. Abusiness built
on price has no permanent customers.
The real successes are built "oh quality,
on supplying the best stock in the best'
way, at prices that cover the cost and
give a fair profit.' A business built on
quality gains customers it can claim as
its own.

Collections in the trade are just fair.
Prices of everything are so high that
everybody needs the money to meet his
own bills and everybody is pushing col-
lections harder than usual. Consequently
the florist who is the exception to the rule
is the man who finds collections slow; the
ones who are pushing are getting all the
money and there is none left for the man
who neglects that part of the business.
If you don't keep at it you don't get
yours.

FROM BOTH COASTS.

That Chicago is the ideal city fot

publishing a trade paper is shown by

the day's mail. Here is a letter from

New England:

I am enclosing $2 to pay for The Hevlew two
ycar^ in ndvance. In this connection I wish to
state that it is a great asset In my business
and I would not care to he without it. — F. P.
Fnik, Mt. Hope, Boston, Mass., November 22,
191C.

And here is one from the extreme

southwest:

I enclose $2 to pay for The Review for the
next two years. We consider it a most im-
portant adjunct to the business and look for-
ward to Its weekly arrival with keen interest, for
it keeps us informed on th'j ir.any phases of the
ilorlsts' and nursery but,ines8. — H. C. Pease, San
Bernardino, Cal., November 21, 1916.

With the following as evidence from

an advertiser:

It may have caused you some surprise that I
have not done more advertising with you, but
■■he fact is, you people did yourselves out of a
job the last time you ran my ad In The Review.
It brought me new customers who since have
taken practically all I can produce. I am satis-
fled no better Investment could be found for
money; a few dollars did the trick and a whole
lifetime's business Is the result. — A. "W. War-
ren. Corry, Pa., November 20, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

A BRITISH VIEW.

Commenting on the necessity faced
by the greenhouse trade in the United
States, that of higher selling prices to
make up for the increased cost of do-
ing business, a British trade paper says:

"As with us, the genuine business
man, who calculates what his stuff
costs him to produce, and tries to sell
it at a price which will yield him a
fair profit, is faced with the competi-
tion of men who, through ignorance or
indolence, omit 'costing' '"altogether
from their work, and others who are
too timid to take a step in advance be-
cause they are afraid the other man
will not follow.

"In our opinion, it is the grower and
producer who ought to take the first
step when a move is necessary; then
the middleman will be compelled to
follow suit. This is the natural se-
quence, just as in the corn trade, when
the farmer or dealer gets a rise in
wheat, the miller raises flour, and the
baker in turn promptly passes on the
rise to his customers.

"To our mind ^here is too much
dread of the price cutter in our busi-
ness. In the motor trade, the Daimler
and Rolls-Royce people do not adjust
their prices to meet Mr. Ford and in
many other trades we find the best class
men manage to run on their own lines.

and ask and get prices based on the
value of the goods they turn out, not
on what the cheap-jacks in their trade
manage to quote.

"Our trade will never be a really
prosperous one until the majority give
this question of prices their serious at-
tention and settle it upon a sound com-
mercial basis. But the thing that would
help on the millennium more than any-
thing would be for everyone to set his
wits to work to grow stuff better than
ever done before, and give customers
the best service possible, instead of
trying to attract trade by selling rub-
bish at cut-throat prices."

INSECTICIDE LAWS.

A pamphlet that will be of interest
to many readers of The Review was
issued September 16 by the Insecticide
and Fungicide Board of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. It contains
copies of the insecticide and fungicide
laws of all the states that have passed
special legislation on the subject. These
states are:

California,

Colorado,

Idaho,

Kentucky,

Louisiana,

Maine,

Maryland,

Michigan,

Minnesota,

Montana,

A perusal of the pamphlet will show
members of the trade who deal in in-
secticides and fungicides the special re-
quirements they must observe. There
are in addition laws in other states
which are specifically food and drugs
laws, but which apparently, but not in
so many words, include insecticides and
fungicides because of their poisonous
character.

Copies of the document may be bad
without cost by those interested who
address the Insecticide and Fungicide
Board at Washington, D. C.

New Hampshire,

New Jersey,

New York.

North Dakota,

Ohio,

Oregon, r

Pennsylvania, '

Washington,

Wisconsin.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

There seems to be every reason why
all those identified with the growing
and wholesaling of cut flowers in the
Chicago market should have a pleasant
Thanksgiving; business never was bet-
ter, the demand exceeding last year's
high record by a good margin.

In a general way two factors are
given credit for the increased demand
and excellent but not unreasonably
high prices. In the first place, the
country is more prosperous than it ever
was before, Ijut of equal importance in
bringing orders into the .Chicago mar-
ket is the fact that Thanksgiving is
nearly a week later than ever before,
while the late mums were a little ear-
lier than usual, so that florists who
sometimes rely on their home mums
for this holiday were obliged to send
to Chicago for stock this year. In a
general way the stock in greatest
abundance this week is pompon mums
and carnations, with violets on the
short side, with valley and cattleyas,
and a fairly plentiful but by no means
overabundant supply of roses and large
mums. Of course the bulk of the sales
are on the plentiful items, with the
most numerous inquiries for the less
abundant stock.

The end of last week found the mar-
ket in a decidedly improved condition.
The supply of stock was considerably

down, but still there was a sufficient
quantity to go around. Supply and de-
mand were more evenly balanced than
heretofore and firmer prices, with a
tendency towards higher figures, ob-
tained. Probably the most marked im-
provement took place in the condition
of carnations, a demand arising which
is almost as unexplainable as the long
period out of favor from which carna-
tions suffered after the first slight popu-
larity at the beginning of the season.

Eoses in all varieties and lengths are
clearing well and at fairly good prices,
American Beauties continue scarce, but
what stock reaches the market is clear-
ing easily. Bussell is both the best and
most popular rose. Hoosier Beauty is
in light supply. There is an appreciably
better call for red, Bichmond and
Milady.

Chrysanthemums are selling well at
good prices. The football game Novem-
ber 25, between Chicago and Minne-
sota, was probably in part responsible
for the ease with which it was possible
to move them the latter part of the
week. Bonnaffon and Chadwick were
and are the, best sellers. Pompons are
moving welt at improved prices.

The supply of violets is short, while
a strong demand is manifest, bringing
the ' price up. Valley continues short
and is clearing well. Lilies are begin-
ning to move as white mums go down;
there is an ample supply. The supply
of Paper Whites has increased mate-
rially and stock is clearing well. Stevia
reaches the market in such ample sup-
ply it is moving rather slowly.

All kinds of greens are scarce, and
no difficulty is found in moving the
supply which reaches the market. It is
probable that the long dry spell in the
south was injurious to the plumosus and
Sprengeri grown there.

Various Notes.
Those who are wholesaling Paper
Whites at $2 per hundred have over-
looked the fact that at this year's
price for the bulbs the grower won't

According to J. H. McNeilly, busi-
ness is better than last year in spite
of the greltly increased competition
.along Eas^ Sixty-third street, but a
8uHv©iU5« interesting observation was
his remark that "we are getting petter
prices than last year, but we do not
have to pay as much at wholesale."
Mr. McNeilly says he rarely places an
advance order, taking his chances on
the turn of the market.

Florists who make use of the new
6-Btory garage of the City Auto Park-
ing Co., on Michigan avenue, near the
market, find Archie Jackson, former
florist and son of A. V. Jackson, at the

head of the institution. It is said that
H. Baushe is another of those interested
in it.

According to A. F. Keenan, who con-
ducts two stores a block apart on Sixty-
third street, Christmas is a gamble and
Easter a fair certainty. He asserts
that the extent and character of the
Christmas demand are impossible to
forecast because all lines of trade make
an appeal, but Easter can be figured
on with assurance that the buyers'
thoughts will be concentrated on only
two lines, clothes and flowers.

We never failed to take care of our customers during the extreme scarcity existing last season. This year fiuds us
situated better than ever to supply 70a, as we are receiving the output of several large new growers in this vicinity,
together with the usual supply from our large range.

to Philip Schupp, manager of J. A.
Budlong, insofar as daylight is an es-
sential factor in picking out stocft.

The year 1916 has been much the
largest in the history of the A. L. Ran-
dall Co., the supply business having
grown faster even than in its, younger
days. The company now occupies the
second, third and most of the fourth
floor in the Lemoyne building, and
nearly all the basement, besides a large
storage floor on Bandolph street, a total
of 90,000 square feet, more than two
acres.

Lubliner & Trinz, former florists,
opened another of their string of mov-

called the West End theater and is one
of the finest in town. When a house
now building on Garfield boulevard at
the corner of Michigan avenue is open,
they will be running eight theaters, in-
cluding several of the largest picture
palaces in the city.

"A friend in need is a friend in-

pital authorities felt last week when
Peter Keinberg let them have two car-

A number of florists not members of

The Market.

The condition of the wholesale market
last week was excellent all through, with
better prices. From advance orders placed
for Thanksgiving the retailers expect a
heavy business. These orders were mostly
for chrysanthemums, but the supply is
not so heavy as it has been and other
stock is coming into demand. The mar-
ket last week afforded some fine specimen
blooms of Bonnaffon, Eaton, Seidewitz,
Lynnwood Hall, Chadwick and Golden
Wedding, the best of which brought as
high as $4 per dozen,

Koses have been selling better, at a

The Market.

This has been a rather peculiar season
for the florists. The early chrysanthe-
mums were late and the late ones were
early; the first carnation crop was
meager and the second came with the
chrysanthemum glut. Eose growers
have been pinching back their crops for

a large Christmas output; therefore at
the present time a gap is felt in the
market.

The supply for Thanksgiving is lim-
ited, but of good quality. Chrysanthe-
mums, in good condition, and roses,
mostly medium and long, are bringing
good prices. Carnations are no* over-
abundant and bring from $2 to $3 per
hundred. Lilies are scarce and meet
with little demand, but orchids, valley

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

There are twenty-five miles of freight
congestion on the belt road around In-
dianapolis and it is thought that nu-
merous cases of azaleas have been
caught in this, as they are arriving in
poor condition, some wet and frozen
and others dried out. Good azaleas for
Christmas will therefore be scarce.

E. H. Rieman has a fine single chrys-
anthemum, of a pleasing shade of pink,
which bids fair to become a popular
variety, owing to its lateness.

Largely on account of the fire at the
establishment of the Capital Paper Co.,
which caused a loss estimated at $150,-
000, in one day's time the price of
paper jumped 35 cents on the ream and
twine was raised 3 and 4 cents on the

Coal has been so scarce that the flo-

With Anything Less

Than The Best

You want the best, but not every florist is willing to take the proper precaution
that he gets it. Buying these items from us means you are placing your orders at
headquarters.

In Beauties we have the largest supply in this market. Plenty of them in all
grades, long and medium, extra fine quality and a moderate price.

The entire cut of the largest collection of Cypripedium is consigned to us. That
ought to be sufficient assurance that we can supply.

Our Gardenia grower is one of the largest in this section. If you intend to carry
Gardenias in stock, make arrangements with us for regular shipments.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The eve of the opening of the social
season at Thanksgiving finds the c\it
flower market in a state of brisk ac-
tivity. Sales are increasing in numbers
and in size. Prices are firm; now and
then they advance. Conditions indi-
cate a good Thanksgiving business. A
great many chrysanthemums are being
marketed. A dozen or two dozen here
and there go at $2..50, $3 and even $4
per dozen; a vast quantity of them at
$2 per dozen to a dime apiece, witli
poor stock much lower and hardest of
all to sell. The street men will often
pay top prices for chrysanthemums,
particularly Bonnaflfon — $10 to $15 per
hundred, and take them as they come.
Yellow is most seen. Partly for that
reason the retailers are more eager for
pink and white. Greonhouse-grown
pompons are out of favor; as a rule
their quality is poor.

Violets were good stock for the Yale-
Harvard football game. Several street
men went from here to New Haven,
taking the violets with them. They
paid the top market price, $10 per thou-
sand, and bought freely. Valley has
advanced to $8, a price unknown to the
present age. History tells us it was
$12.50 per hundred once, but that is a
good while ago. There- are more or-
chids than a wook ago, but not enough
more to make much difference in price,
as there is a good demand.

Carnations liave shared in the im-
proved market. The light pinks are
still weaker than the bright colors.
Beauties have advanced; the trading
in Beauties is brisk. The crops of
other roses are rather meager, not un-
usual four weeks from Christmas. The
fancy varieties are preferred to the
standard sorts. Easter lilies sell slowly
under keen competition with the fine
white chrysanthemums. Double pink
bouvardia lias arrived and it is in high

favor, being much more durable than

The Show in the Park.

The authorities of Fairmount park,
who have in charge the flower shows in
Horticultural hall, evidently feel that
a really good thing is hard to beat.
This idea is expressed in the show now
staged in the east wing of Horticultural
hall. In conception and execution it is
an exact repetition of the shew staged
there last year and for several years
previously. There are but slight van-
ations in detail. The chrysanthemum
plants grown in pots with their flowers

in natural clusters are arranged on
staging across each end of the wing,
the white and pink varieties at one
end, the yellows at the other. Here
and there a rogue has crept in, as it
were, to heighten the effect. There is
one notable improvement. It is in the
arrangement that, starting from the
border of the path at the feet of the
onlooker, forms a broad sheet of un-
broken color to a considerable height
in the rear. This work has been done
with infinite pains. The result is a
flower picture of quiet sadness at one
end, of glorious life at the other. Be-
tween the two pictures are palm-bor-

on Sundays.

A Question of Judgment.

There was one point of more than
ordinary moment that came up for con-
sideration in the secretary's room in
Horticultural hall last week. The
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society had
generously offered the use of Horticul-
tural hall free of cost. The hall con-
tains about 16,000 square feet of floor
space on two floors. Perhaps one-sixth
of this space the P. H. S. wished re-
served for its own spring bulb show.
The First Regiment armory, on the
other hand, would cost $1,000 rental
for a four days' show, with additional
charges of perhaps $200— $1,200 in all.
The armory has a floor space of over
21,000 square feet, all on one floor.

After careful deliberation the armory
was chosen for the scene of the Amer-
ican Rose Society's first show on its
own account, because it was believed
Horticultural hall would prove too
small. Besides its other advantages,
the armory contains seating space for
600 persons.

Various Notes.

Miss Irene A. Jackson became the
bride of Edward J. Aschmann Novem-

William K. Harris considers the pres-

Raymond Brunswick says that ad-

The season of the year now has been
reached when, so far as the fiower busi-
ness is concerned, it is the chrysanthe-
mum or nothing. Of course, that is ex-
pressing the situation rather extrava-
gantly, but it hits pretty nearly the
truth. In another fortnight, however,
roses, violets, carnations and orchids
again will resume their sway. The de-
mand for mums this year has been un-
usually large, although the call has
been for blooms retailing for about $1
per dozen. The holiday greens give
notice of the rapidly approaching holi-
day and preparations are being made
to meet the call for potted stock.
Prices hold well and there is a plentiful
supply of everything.

Club's Anniversary Baiiquet.>

The Pittsburgh Florists' Club cele-
brated its twenty-fifth anniversary
Monday night, November 20, with a
banquet at the Fort Pitt hotel. The
tables were set in the Dutch room.
E. C. Keineman, the first president of
the club, acted as toastmaster and read
a paper entitled "The History of the
Club," in which he spoke of J. W.
Ludwig as being the father of the club.
It was Mr. Ludwig who started the in-
terest in a club after returning from
the S. A. F. convention at Boston. The
first meeting was held in the store of
Ludwig & Eichter and the organization
perfected. Since that time the club
has had a continued growth and has
done its share to advance the produc-
tion of better flowers.

Among the other speakers were P. S.
Randolph, who called attention to the
wonderful advance the cut flower busi-
ness has made. He added, however,
that the plantsmen had not kept up
with the procession; they are not get-
ting prices commensurate with the cost
of production. Fred Burki expressed
himself on the pleasure of meeting old
friends and asked to be excused from
making a speech.

George Oesterle, the first secretary
of the club, was the next speaker. He
was one of the most successful growers,
but now is in the laundry business.
J. W. Ludwig then told of his visit to

of one of the busiest stores in the city,
with greenhouses at Ludwig station.
Ben Elliott, proprietor of the John
Bader Co., thinks the plant business is
all right. The only trouble is that
many plantsmen do not know the value
of their own goods and make bad com-
petitors.

Neil McCallum gave one of his orig-
inal talks, replete with instructive
{>oints and suggestions, and was fol-
owed by George Burke, superintendent
of Schenley and other city parks, who
spoke lengthily on plants. Edward Mc-
Oallum advocated holding a flower show
in the city and assured the members of
his willingness to work hard, long and
late for its success.

W. A. Clarke thought that the street
boys were good cut flower demonstra-
tors and persuaded many to buy who
formerly had thought it an extrava-
gance. He also advised plantsmen to
demonstrate their products to the pub-
lie through free shows, these, he be-
lieves, being cheaper and better than
newspapers or catalogues.

John W. Jones came next and dis-
enssed association helps and the apring
flower show of the Garden Club. The
speakers continued until about mid-
night, and even at that late hour the
members seemed reluctant to leave.

Various Notes.

Bandolph & McClements are the first
to complain about the coal car shortage.
They are compelled to haul their coal
from downtown.

Frederick Riegelmeier last week pur-
chased the property he now occupies as
a store. Prosperity must be working
overtime on the south side. Clarke.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

At last the New York wholesale cut
flower market has awakened. The cold
snap November 25 was the last stimu-
lus needed to put life into the mummy
of the last three months. It was a long
sleep and many thought there was lit-
tle hope for recovery.

Thanks to society and football, No-
vember 25 was a day to be remembered.
What flowers New York could not use,
New Haven sent for. The leading re-
tailers of New York had advance orders
for many boxes of violets, mums and
roses. Practically everything worth
while was taken and the new week be-
gan with the empty larder. Shipments
of everything are lighter than expected.
Splendid values are anticipated for
Thanksgiving. Better prices than those
of November 25 will prevail; there is
no indication of a surplus of mums for
the holiday and the large varieties cer-
tainly will command a figure that will
give the growers cause for thanksgiv-
ing. The Chadwicks especially are in
demand. In pots some fine plants are
seen and the baby mums, pompons and
singles have advanced in value.

All roses are advancing both in price
and quality. The supply was short at
the week's end and is likely to be until
December. Beauties have sold up to 35
and 40 cents each for the highest
grades. Hadley is running a close race
with the old favorite, while Ophelia,
Mock, Key, Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst,
Kadiance and Prima Donna grow daily
in public favor. Even the small and
short-stemmed roses, in quantities, were
held at $2 per hundred. Unless ship-
ments materially increase this week,
higher averages are assured.

Lilies are up again, the best Novem-
ber 25 going above $6 per hundred; $8

nomination contests for the various of-
fices, especially for that of president.
There are five candidates for that office
— Messrs. Pierson, Schenck, Stumpp, De
Forest and President Weston.

Walter Mott, representing B. F. Ham-
mond, of Beacon, N. Y., is in the city,
en route to his home at Schenectady,
N. Y., after a successful southern and
western trip of several months' dura-
tion.

December 5 and 6 the convention of
the National Association of Gardeners

retary Ebel says everything has been
done to make the meeting profitable
and instructive.

Woodrow & Marketos are enlarging
their store for the winter. Special work
along publicity lines is in the compe-
tent hands of Miss Hamburger, the
firm's stenographer.

Joseph Trepel, of Brooklyn, cele-
brated the opening of his new building
and store at 1060 Broadway November

gaged an orchestra of women and re-

husband's "right-hand man."

pleted for the formation of the club
immediately after Thanksgiving.

S. J. Eeuter, of Westerly, R. I., passed
away Friday, November 24. He was
buried November 26 and many in the
trade here attested their respect by at-
tending the funeral services or sending
floral tributes. Mr. Eeuter was univer-
sally respected.

E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., Philadelphia, was in the
city November 24.

George Stumpp, Sr., has returned
from a sojourn of nearly two years in
Germany. His stories of the great war

to get back to God's country.

J. J. Coan is receiving some grand
Eussell and Milady roses and splendid
yellow Eaton and Chadwick mums from
Jacob Hauck.

The first mistletoe of the season is
seen at the Kervan Go. establishment.
It is of .pplendid quality.

Frank Millang handles more "home-
grown? ' asparagus than any house in
the wholesale section — the entire prod-
uct of G. 0. C. Schrader's twenty-six
greenhouses at Elmhurst, L. I.

J. Austin Shaw.

"Give me that money!" said a bold
bandit to George Kaucher, manager of
the Bowery store of Adolph LeMoult &
Son, who was taking $38 from the cash
register preparatory to closing at 11
o'clock, on the night of November 15.
Mr. Kaucher threw the money into a
vase of mums and grabbed the in-
truder. When Mr. Kaucher recovered
consciousness he found he had been
stuffed into the icebox where the cut
stock is kept. Fortunately, the latch on
the door had not caught, so he got out
and called the police. He found the
$38 where he had thrown them. A few
coins were scattered over the floor,
which the police said the robber had
thrown there in rage at not having got
more money.

John H. Muller, a retired florist, who
was in the business in Brooklyn for
more than thirty years, died recently,
at the age of 74. A wife, five daugh-
ters and a son survive.

The Maxket.

The near advent of Thanksgiving has
given the market a somewhat better
tone, but trade lacks any real snap. It
may be in part the oversupplyof chrys-
anthemums, but is in greater measure
due to lack of demand. Chrysanthe-
mums are selling a little better, but are
not making profitable prices. Bonnaf-
fon remains the dominant variety.
Enguehard, Patty, Mrs. Jerome Jones,
Yellow Chadwick and several other late
sorts are in evidence. There still is
an ample supply of pompons. Roses
are in short supply, but lack of a brisk
demand has kept prices from rising far.
All varieties have, however, made mod-
erate advances. Carnations do not
seem likely to bring fancy prices for
Thanksgiving. Growers, as usual, are
holding back much of their cut just be-
fore the holiday. Alice as a light pink
is at present the leader and runs of a
more even color than Pink Delight.
As it gives fully double the number of
flowers of Delight, there is no wonder
that more people are growing it. Scar-
let, deep pink and crimson are selling
best at present.

Violets November 22 and 23 sold up
as high as $1.50 per hundred. As usual,
a large number were held back until
November 24 and 25 and on the latter
day prices slumped to 50 cents and 75
cents, another instance of the folly of
holding stock back until the last day.
The same is true of every holiday and
special occasion when flowers are used
in quantity, but growers seem unable
to learn a lesson from such cases.

Lilies have been selling much better
of late. Sales of valley are somewhat
small; people decline to pay $6 per
hundred for it. Paper Whites, stevia,
calendulas, yellow marguerites, bache-
lor's buttons and candytuft are all in
good supply. Small lots of white and
pink bouvardia are seen. Good sweet
peas readily bring $2 per hundred. Gar-
denias are scarce and cattleyas are sky-
rocketing in price, easily bringing $9
per dozen for C. labiata. A small lot
of Percivaliana has appeared. There
is a fair call for asparagus and a much
improved demand for begonias, cycla-
mens and other pot plants.

Goddard, report of superior merit; Lad-
die, from the same raiser and grower,
report of merit; Nancy, from S. J.
Goddard, report of merit; chrysanthe-
mum sport of a white seedling of
Dorner's, from S. J. Goddard, report of
merit; Carnation 48- A, from (Littlefield
& Wyman, report of merit; No. 44, from
same raiser, honorable mention. The
invitation to the American Carnation
Society to meet in Boston in 1918 met
with enthusiastic approval.

In one of the windows of T. F. Gal-
vin. Inc., November 24, I noticed a
beautiful basket of orchids which • in-
cluded such varieties as cattleyas, cal-
anthes, cypripediums and Vanda San-
deriana and V. Cserulea.

John L. Eussell, one of the popular
salesmen for Joseph Breck & Son, was
married November 15 to Miss Alice
Belle Safford. The happy couple have
lieen spending their honeymoon at
Monadnock, N. H.

At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club, December 19,
officers will be elected and J. N. Keeler,
New England representative of Hitch-
ings & Co., will give a stereopticon lec-
ture on greenhouse construction.

C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is
sending extra fine carnations to the mar-
ket this season. His leading varieties
are Alice, Pink Delight, White Wonder
ami Matchless.

Sweet peas are not at present abun-
dant, but J. W. Philbrick & Co., of
Beverly, are sending in fine Spencers
which readily sell at $2 per hundred.

At the great national allied bazaar,
to be held in Mechanics building De-
cember 9 to 20, at which it is hoped to
raise a million dollars for relief, the
plant and cut flower booth will be quite
an imposing one and great quantities
of flowers are sure to be disposed of.
The management looks for a paid at-
tendance of 30,000 daily.

The Albert Eoper Estate, of Tewks-
bury, is sending in fine shipments of
the new rose-pink carnation, Albert
Roper; also, fine flowers of Grace, Com-
monwealth and other seedlings.

S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, now
has a grand crop of carnations. Spe-
cially fine are Doris, his new crimson
seediing; Beacon, Gloriosa, still hard to
beat; Pink Delight, Benora and Match-

of Westerly, E. L, was received here
November 25, with sincere regret, as he
was well known and highly esteemed.

Everett E. Cummings, of Wobum, is
bringing in excellent Spencer and
grandiflora sweet peas, calendulas, sin-
gle violets and < hrysanthemums in
quantity, such as White and Yellow
Bonnaflfon, Enguehard and Intensity.

Patrick Welch made large shipments
of violets, bachelor's buttons and crim-
son mums for the Harvard-Yale foot-
ball game at New Haven.

The Waban Rose Conservatories had
a large Thanksgiving crop of Yellow
Chadwick, Eaton and Mrs. Jerome Jones
mums. Eoses with this concern are in
light crop at present. Hadley, Eussell
and Ophelia are coming well.

William E. Nicholson, of Framing-
ham, had a grand cut of Intensity mums
for the Harvard- Yale football game.
His shipments of Alice, Pink Delight,
Matchless, Benora and Beacon carna-
tions are unusually high grade.

At Welch's, 280 Devonshire street,
Edward Welch reported business as
picking up nicely. No specially heavy
Thanksgiving trade was anticipated,
but Christmas prospects are good.

The Budlong Rose Co. received its
last chrysanthemums of the season No-
vember 24. Boses at present are not
in heavy crop. Mrs. W. B. Hearst
shows up well and they have a fine
cut of Double White Killarney, Ophelia,
Stanley and Maryland. Hoosier Beauty
is not doing as well as other scarlets.

Adolph E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is
marketing a fine lot of stevia, pink
snapdragon and Mrs. Sander mar-
guerites.

The Chestnut Street Greenhouses, of
Marlboro, is shipping the Mann Co.
extra fine lots of snapdragons and
mums.

Lewis Smith, of Tewksbury, has
caught on to the indoor culture of
bachelor's buttons. His flowers now
are carried on stout 12-inch to 15-inch
stems and readily realize $2 per
hundred.

Chandler Bros., of Tewksbury, have
a fine house of Bonnaffon mums for
Thanksgiving.

Welch Bros. Co. are doing good busi-
ness and getting a lot of advance or-
ders for the holidays. W. N. C.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Ontario Horticultural Associa-
tion completed its annual session last
week at the Parliament buildings, To-

subjects discussed. Miss Blackloch's
paper on hardy asters, and Professor
Naconn's paper on creepers securing a
great deal of attention. Dr. Clark
spoke on the possibilities of bulb cul-
ture in Canada. B. Whorley, represent-
ing fifteen different societies in north-
ern Ontario, was a prominent speaker
throughout the session. There was no

36 Adams Avenue, West solicited

flower show this season, but the gen-
eral idea was that an effort should be
made to revive the annual exhibition
in Toronto next year.

Cold weather has set in at Brampton
and stock is less plentiful, since most
of the roses have been cut back for
Christmas. The demand for valley and
orchids from the United States is ab-
normal and large shipments are made
daily. Business is brisk everywhere.
Chrysanthemums were poorer this year
than they ever were; one or two growers
produced some first-class stock, despite
the weather conditions.

A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn.,
and R. Whorley, of Haileybury, Ont.,
were visitors last week. W. G. P.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The market for Thanksgiving day
trade promises to tighten up. Large
mums are scarce and fancy stock is
practically off the market. Pompons
are plentiful, but indications are that
they will clean up. Good valley is
scarce. Roses and carnations are in
fair crop only. The market for pot
plants is in better condition than that
for cut flowers. Choice cyclamens, be-
gonias, primulas and chrysanthemums
are to be had in quantity.

Various Notes.

Nearly all importers of azaleas were
hit hard last week by receiving frozen
and partly rotten plants. There still
are a few cases on the way.

The coal situation continues serious.
Some of the coal barons quote run of
mine coal at $5 per ton, f. o. b. Cleve-
land, while others make no quotations
whatever.

There were nearly 5,000 paid admis-
sions to the flower show held here last

not plentiful, but the heavy receipts of

sweet peas have been somewhat scarce.
Callas and Paper White narcissi are
equal to present demands and a few
excellent single violets may be had.
Stevia now is in the market. The sup-
ply of greens is sufficient for all pres-
ent needs.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell has been getting in
large quantities of Christmas supplies
of all kinds.

P. J. Olinger had an excellent cut of
roses and carnations for Thanksgiving.

This seems to be the open season for
removals and new flower stores. The
R. G. Kootz Co. is removing to a store
in the new Gwynne building, while
Panel & Co., a new concern, are open-
ing a new store opposite the Kootz
store, at Sixth aad Main streets. A. K.
Davis is opening a store at Newport.

recent visitors. C. H. H.

"Not an idle moment," was the re-
sponse of D. Horgan, of the Idle Hour
Nurseries, Macon, Ga., to my inquiry.
"Never saw business better. Funeral
work is heavy, but orders for decora-
tions show how the public taste is drift-
ing." Artist W. Gibson, formerly of
Philadelphia, says things remind him
of the old town more and more. Wil-
liam Turner heads the chrysanthemums
and is really monstrous. "It pays to
grow a few such," observed Mr.
Horgan, "but of course the medium-
sized blooms are the most profitable
and the best sellers." Carnations and

efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

roses are in fine crop; a full line of
plants are grown.

Qeny Bros., of Nashville, Tenn., find
Mrs. Bussell practically a perpetual rose
and grow it for both summer and win-
ter use. Chrysanthemums are, of
course, preeminent just now and their
stock is choice. The store disposes of
the stock grown at the two ranges of
glass.

"A rare old plant is the ivy green,"
observed C. H. Hune, of the Memphis
Floral Co., Memphis, Tenn. "Our sales
of rooted cuttings last season amounted
to 110,000, and all through the medium
of The Eeview's classified ad columns.
We have commenced another season
with one order for 20,000 from a well-
known house and have many inquiries
from other growers." The stock is ob-
tained from plants growing on any old
stone fence. "By the same means, The
Review," added Mr. Hune, "we sold
50,000 rooted cuttings of vincas. Yes, it
does pay to advertise. Our store is in
a basement, but we are optimists, al-
ways looking up."

H. W. Cade, of Cairo, 111., says one
of the most attractive things he ever
handled is the Eandall Co. electric foun-
tain. He has loaned it out for several
social functions at $5 each time, the
rentals soon paying for the article.

A look through the establishment of
the St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co., St. Louis, under the guidance of
J. J. Beneke, showed the latest ideas in
arrangements. Betailers can get points
on store decoration while selecting sup-
plies, the upper floors being arranged
for that purpose. The mission wood fur-
nishing is unusually choice and. should
add to the selling value of the goods.

but simply quits growing and gets pale

of our best plants. We are growing
them in a carnation house. The tem-
perature at night is 50 to 52 degrees.

As your temperature conditions ap-
pear to be correct and the watering
has been carefully done, it seems most
probable that there is something wrong
with your compost. If you used too
much manure in the soil, the plants
would act in this way. Also, if feed
was given in too heavy doses, similar
results would follow. The use of
nitrate of soda or any other chemicals
would make the plants act as yours
arc doing. The soil should consist of
two-thirds pasture loam, pretty well
decayed, and one-third leaf-mold, not
too much decayed, and old, well-
screened manure; add some sand, espe-
cially if the loam is heavy. Feed with
liquid cow manure once a week vphen
the pots are well filled with roots, until
the plants are nicely in bloom. If,

perchance, your soil is too acid, lime
should be added to it when it is
stacked. Sourness at the root would in
itself be sufficient to cause begonias to
fail as yours are doing. Not knowing
how your soil is or what feeding has
been done, I am merely giving sugges-
tions which possibly may help you.

NECESSITIES WITH GARDENIAS.

I prow a general line of stock and
am successful with everything but gar-
denias. I have need for these and
would like to know the essentials of
their cultivation. My plants turn yel-
low as soon as given water.

J. T.— Mich.

Gardenias are grown in raised
benches, prcferaoly in four to four and
one-half inches of soil. They need plen-
ty of drainage and the soil should be
somewhat rough, so that the water will
pass through it readily. Fibrous loam,
cow manure and some coarse sand make
a good medium. Some Scotch soot may
also be added with advantage. Some
growers use partly decayed leaves with
their soil, but others do not consider
these of any benefit. It is a fact that
one of two commercial growers use
solid beds only and get a fine crop
through the dead of winter.

Pot plants will be all right outside
from June 10 to September 10 in tem-
perate latitudes. For benched plants
a temperature as low as 60 degrees will
do no harm if other conditions ara
right.

The principal causes of failure in
gardenia culture are: Improper soil,
which holds water too long and becomes
sour, not allowing the benches to dry
out suflSciently between waterings;
keeping the atmosphere too hot and
stuffy, and erratic or careless ventila-
tion. ,

Gardenias like a warm and fairly
moist atmosphere, but do not want cod-
dling. There are few days in the year
when they need be without ventila-
tion. They enjoy having their roots
warm; if you have hot water pipes be-
low the benches, all the better, A win-
ter minimum of 65 degrees, except on
severe nights, is suitable. Allow it to
drop 5 degrees on zero nights. Any-
thing approaching sogginess at the
roots late in summer or early in the
fall will cause the leaves to turn yel-
low and buds to drop. Maintain a nice,
buoyant atmosphere and water with
great care and moderation and the
plants should flower well through the
winter. If the soil is heavy, I would
add some partly rotted leaves, broken
charcoal and a fair amount of coarse
sand to it. F. B.

Seed Trade News

AlBBIOA* 8ZID TSASX AMOOIATZOV.
Pnddrat. Klrbjr B. Wklto, Detroit, Mlok.;
■•cwtary-Tr— ur»r, O. H. K«nd»l. OtoToUiad, O.

The Tucker Seed House, Earl and J.
W. Tucker, proprietors; Carthage, Mo.,
has acquired a large 2-story building as
quarters for its rapidly increasing busi-
ness.

Alkalfa seed growers of Custer county,
Montana, recently met at Miles City to
discuss, among other things, the matter
of providing a better market for their
product.

This is the time of year that many
seedsmen devote their attention to han-
dling Christmas greens, but in recent sea-
sons it has not been an especially profit-
able side line.

Those who printed early price lists of
gladiolus bulbs already have .found it
necessary to advance their quotations.
Such standard sorts as America and King
are among the stiffest.

The man who omits the disclaimer from
his 1917 catalogue, or the one who quali-
fies the standard form, will be acting
against the general good of the trade ac-
cording to the recorded belief of the Am-
erican Seed Trade Association.

In tlie 1917 catalogues there will be a
pronounced trend toward the cental sys-
tem, abandoning the old practice of of-
fering seeds by the quart, peck and
bushel. In many cities local laws compel
the sale of a large variety of articles by
weight.

Smuggling now is the order of the day.
Not smuggling past the international
boundary, but past the British blockade.
It is related that certain lots of German
flower seeds came over in trunks and it
is said many passengers are carrying sus-
picious quantities of baggage. Probably
by now the British are searching it.

WITH INDIANA CANNERS.

The Indiana Canners' Association
held its annual meeting November 23
at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis.
Next to the Wisconsin meeting, it is
the largest state meeting of the. year
and several seed houses were repre-
sented.

The seed question was an important
issue in relation to increased costs.
Peas, it was thought, are fairly abun-
dant, but with no oversupply. Beans
are bringing what the canners called
"extortionate" prices: Valentine and
stringless green pod were quoted at
from $6 to $7.50 a bushel; dried beans
were higher, bringing $7.50 to $8 at
the present time, with indications that
by spring they will bring $12. Sweot
corn also is held at a premium, with
Stowell's Evergreen and Country Gen-
tleman in the lead. Several interesting
seed displays were made by the follow-
ing firms, which were soliciting advance
orders: W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago;
Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O.;
Jerome B. Rice Co., Cambridge, N. Y.,
and the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago.

E. E. T.

HOW THEY DO IT.

The Review has received a number
of complaints from a certain Austra-
lian seed house with regard to short
postage on letters from American seeds-

tersf Why can't others do it, toot"
So The Review asked Thorburn and
Burpee. Here is what the former says:

We are following no Intricate method In order
to see that our foreign mall bears the correct
postage. We have In oxir mailing department
one bag marked "Foreign" and one bag for
"Domestic." Of course the "Domestic bag
does not need to be assorted, while the For-
eign" lots do. The young man in charge of
that department evidently uses his brain and
concentration to see that the proper stamps are
affixed.

And here is what W. F. Therkildson
wrote for Burpee:

We have a great deal of foreign correspond-
ence and the girls who handle the sealing of
the mail are quite familiar with foreign ad-
dresses. Thev carefully read each address be-
fore placing the stamps, so that there can be no
possible error. However, this is facilitated by
each' stenographer taking out her foreign mall,
which Is sent separately to the stamping table
as foreign mail; thus it has a double check.

As a matter of fact, we have used no particu-
lar care in looking after our foreign mall, other
than the usual careful attention to every de-
tail that is characteristic of the business. We
are not attempting to boast in the matter, but we
watch carefully the small things as they In turn
make the big ones.

So you see it is not so much superior
system as it is pride in the accuracy
of what you do.

MOTT-LY GLEANINOS.

McKay, Reece & Co.. of Nashville,

W. B. Ewing.

The Cumberland Seed Co. is going
out of the retail business, though re-

Nashville. Manager Wood says that
the company will handle heavy seed
in carload lots and retain an office only.

The Rorists' Review

NOVEMBEK 30, 1916.

Bonville, is preparing its new catalogue
for the market gardening trade with
extra care.

C. T. Mcintosh & Son, of Charleston,
S. C, report the largest seed season in
their experience — ' ' and the greatest
difficulty to hold our trade," said Mr.
Mcintosh, "for, owing to the uncer-
tainty of supplies, we could not guaran-
tee a large quantity to a single grower,
but had to give it to. him as it was
handed to us. Ofttimes he was hard to
convince." A new pest has appeared
this season in the form of a creature
that works somewhat like a mole and
causes much damage. It is given the
local name of ground puppy.

The Mixson Seed Co., of Charleston,
believes that next year will see the
largest acreage under cultivation ever
known in "the island," on account of
the firm and continuous market. The
company also handles large quantities
of garden produce and supplies.

A UNIQUE WINDOW DISPLAY.

Benjamin DelValle, manager of the
foreign department of the Stumpp & Wal-
ter Co., New York, has arranged one of
the most interesting window exhibits ever
seen in a seed store in that city. The
display has been on a week and will
continue another one if the public con-
tinues to take the wonderful interest that
now prevails. Crowds constantly are in
front of the window.

The principal feature of the exhibit
is Cuzco, the largest known variety of
corn. George G. Stumpp says this corn
will grow and yield enormously in high
and cold sections of this country, even
10,000 feet above the sea level. The
variety is said to have been grown by
the ancient Peruvians and Incas a thou-
sand years ago. Some of the kernels
measure an inch in diameter.

The whole window is devoted to South
American products and not the least in-
teresting of the stage settings is a mum-
my 3,000 years old and valued at $3,000.
There also are valuable carpets, por-
tieres, rugs, furs, ancient vases from the
tombs of the Incas, hats, cotton, crude
rubber, maps of South America, Peru-
vian flags and many curiosities when seen
in seed store windows. The company
seems to have solved the problem of win-
dow decoration, as nothing more unique
and impelling has been seen in a New
York seedsman's windows in years.

Stumpp & Walter Co. is offering this
Cuzco corn to its patrons and finds an
increasing demand for it in this country.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.
The weather has become colder and
there has been a fair quantity of sun-
shine during the last week. Business
in general seems to have picked up to
some extent and Thanksgiving should
compare favorably with last year's, as
far as sales are concerned. Stock in
general is not plentiful, but rather vice
versa, at this writing, with the excep-
tion of chrysanthemums. These still
are too plentiful and are hard to clean
up. Chadwick and Bonnaffon are in
good supply and in fine condition. These
two late varieties are moving well, espe-
cially in out-of-town orders. They
probably stand shipping better than
any other variety of mums and are in
great demand by the shipping trade.
This week will probably see the end of

the chrysanthemums, with the excep-
tion of the two varieties mentioned. It
will have a beneficial effect on business
and will help the late stock to a great
extent. This surely has been a queer
season for mums, as they all came in
at the same time and fancy stock could
not be handled for what it was worth.

Eoses are in fine shape, but the sup-
ply is limited just now. The cut is
smaller than the demand and it is hard
to take care of orders satisfactorily,
especially on the shorter grades. Kus-
sell and Ophelia are exceptionally short
in supply and this stock is being
cleaned up at fair prices.

Carnations have become scarcer dur-
ing the last few days and the price
has advanced accordingly. The quality
is good and the demand is strong, de-
spite the large supply of mums. Violets
are fine, but the supply is not adequate.
The demand is always heavy at this
time of year and the receipts insuffi-
cient. The stock compares most favor-
ably with last year's; in fact, it sur-
passes last year's stock.

Valley is at a premium, but even at
that it is almost impossible to procure
good stock. Lilies are about equal to
the demand and sell fairly well. The
supply of orchids is quite large, but so
is the demand, and the entire cut is
cleaned up easily at from $7.50 to $9
per dozen.

Various Notes.

A. H. McDonald, in charge of the
Gimbel Bros, flower department, was
in Chicago November 22 cleaning up
the odds and ends of his purchases for
the Christmas business. He says that
he is ready to take care of the large
volume of trade which he has every
reason to expect will come for the holi-
day season. Gimbel 's have a wonderful
display of orchids in their window this
week.

The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., which
opened an establishment at 419 Mil-
waukee street some time ago, is going
to give up its store at 349 Third street
December 4. This is an old stand and
has done well, but there is no reason
why the new place should not be even
better, as it is larger and more suitable
in every waj.

Pacific Coast Department

Seattle, Wash. — The Aabling-Boyce
Seed Co. has added a new and exten-
sive flower department to its establish-
ment at 89 Pike street, where for many
years the company has sold seeds and
shrubbery.

SAN DIEGO, GAL.

The Market.

Business along all lines has been
steadily improving of late, and the re-
port that San Diego is to have the new
railway has given everyone a more
optimistic feeling. More stock is grown
around the city than formerly; conse-
quently retailers are less dependent on
Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Some of the carnations are excellent
and there are still a few mums left.
Violets, locally grown, look pretty and
fresh, but they are smaller, both
bunches and flowers, than the northern-
grown stock. Plants and greens are
scarce.

Various Notes.

The parks and exposition grounds are
splendid now, and just how Superin-
tendent John Morley does it, with his
more or less depleted force, is difficult
to say. When one looks back over a
few years and thinks of the wilderness
that now is a magnificent park, it is to
wonder at the skill and persistence of
this clever and capable man, who makes
two trees grow where there were rocks
and gravel. Already signs of the end
of the big show are near, the Utah
building having already been emptied.
The big wind-up celebration is to be
New Year's day.

Boyle & Darnaud report fine business.
The stock at the greenhouses is look-
ing well. They grow most of the stock
sold and are showing some beautiful
cyclamens, orchids and other items,
which come fresh from the nursery
daily.

George Otto always has an attractive
store and his large bunches of house-
grown stevias are fine. While he says
funeral work has been the mainstay,
there also ha's been a good deal of
transient business.

The seedsmen are making good show-
ings of bulbs, but all say that a rain is
needed to help business.

Miss A. Rainford has given up her
store at the Coronado hotel, in order to
center her whole force at the city place,
where she reports business good.

H. E. Richards.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

It was an exceptionally busy week for
high-class funeral work, several promi-
nent people having died. There is not
sufficient really good stock in the mar-
ket to go around, though there always
is plenty of third-rate stock. Indoor
carnations were rough for a week or
so, but now are much better. There are
plenty of whites, pinks and reds, but
good rose-pinks are scarce. Roses ap-
parently become shorter all the time and
everything is snapped up as soon as

it reaches the market. Orchids are on
the scarce side, not particularly good
and in great demand. There is practi-
cally no valley to be had. Other flow-
ers are about equal to the demand.

Mums are about over. A popular
green called wild lemon is useful for
backing up funeral pieces and for deco-
rations. Plumosus is good, but not so
plentiful as it has been. Common ferns
and adiantum are plentiful and good.
Plants are being more freely shown and
it looks as though there will be plenty
of stock for Christmas, even if the
azaleas do not make the holiday.

Various Notes.

George W. Smith and Mrs. Smith
were in Ventura during the week, at-
tending the funeral of Mrs. Smith's
uncle. Business keeps up well in the
flower department at the store and
there also is a large sale of Dutch bulbs.

C. 'F. Clausen, who grows those fine
big gladioli for the E. C. Amling Co., of
Chicago, is in the city on a business
and pleasure trip. Mr. Clausen is more
or less interested in vegetable culture
out there.

The Abbey Flower Shop says tFat

business has not been particularly good
of late, but that it is picking up.

The windows of the Germain Seed &
Plant Co. are always attractive and
during the week they contained large
bunches of fine cut roses from the nur-
sery on the Whittier road. Well known
indoor varieties that do well also out-
doors were noted. Radiance, Mrs.
George Shawyer and Christie-Miller be-
ing exceptionally good.

P. Matraia, of San Francisco, was a
visitor this week, en route to San Diego.

At the funeral of an old inhabitant
and pioneer F. Liehtenberg had a mag-
nificent spray of Prima Donna roses
that was the admiration of everyone.

J. Wallace, representing F. B. Pem-
berton, holly grower of Victoria, B. 0 ,
was in town this week calling on the
trade.

The L. A. Floral Co. surely is keeping
its reputation with regard to pompons
and mums, really good shipping stock
being noted here when other houses
were short of it.

Among those going into greenhouse
building are G. W. Smith and Fred
Hills. Mr. Smith is erecting propagat-
ing houses at his new nursery in Holly-

wood, while Mr. Hills cannot grow
enough of those splendid ferns of his
to supply the trade and therefore has
to extend his range. In these days of
high prices of building materials this
looks promising.

The trade is awaiting with interest
the opening of Henry A. Siebrecht's
new store in the Hotel Maryland build-
ing at Pasadena. Mr. Siebrecht, it is
said, has the contract for five years for
the decorations at the three big hotels
here, which now are undsr one manage-
ment. He also is going largely into
high-class landscape work.

E. Eust, of this city and South
Pasadena, will have a splendid lot of
Lorraine and Cincinnati begonias for
Christmas, the plants being large,
healthy and full of buds.

W. Armacost & Co., of Sawtelle, say
that they have the finest lot of cycla-
mens they ever handled. The long-
stemmed roses coming to the market
from this concern also are excellent
stock.

S. Murata & Co. are making espe-
cially long shipments these days, one
box going as far as northern Minne-
sota. They now are shipping an excel-
lent grade of indoor carnations.

SAN FEANCISCO.

The Market.

For the first time in many weeks the
supply of cut flowers is rather short.
Some kinds are scarce and, taking the
offerings all together, there are barely
enough flowers to meet requirements.
The present situation is largely the re-
sult of the unseasonably cold weather
earlier in the month. It has developed
that the frost practically put an end

to the crop of large Japanese chrysan-
themums. Few of these flowers are
coming in now and all good stock cleans
up quickly. The Chinese growers still
have quite a heavy cut of the small
bush mums, which are better than usual
this year, and there are many pompons,
but they are not sufficiently plentiful to
offset the shortage in other lines.

Taking it for granted the offerings
of large chrysanthemums would con-
tinue bountiful for some time longer,
the growers had been pinching back
their roses closely, and now that mums
are scarce, there is only a limited cut
of roses. All varieties of roses demand
high prices. The market is particularly
short on American Beauties, as there
has been a strong demand in Los An-

geles and many have been shipped
there. The recent dry wind hurt the
violets to a certain extent, but a fair
supply of good stock continues to ar-
rive. There is a good cut of gardenias
and these move well in the absence of
valley and the scarcity of orchids.
Potted plants are more in evidence,
there being a good many cinerarias, be-
gonias, cyclamens and primroses. Pa-
per White narcissi are beginning to at-
tract more attention than they did on
their first appearance. The outlook for
flowering plants for the holidays is con-
sidered good.

Various Notes.

Eichard Lohrmann, of the West End
Nursery, San Rafael, has issued a new
dahlia and German iris price list that
includes a collection of fourteen dah-
lias of his own raising, most of which
were planted and exhibited at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposi-
tion.

The flower store at 488 Haight street
has undergone a change in management,
the new owners being David Avansino
and John McDonald. Both are well
known in the local trade. The former
is a brother of John B. and Henry
Avansino, who recently opened a store
on Geary street under the name of
Avansino Bros., and the latter has been
with MacRorie & McLaren. The busi-
ness which they are taking over was
formerly operated by the late Martin
Petersen, and since his death has been
under the supervision of his widow.
Messrs. Avansino and McDonald plan
extensive improvements in the place.

MacRorie & McLaren sent a large
truck of flowers over to Oakland for the
opening of a new theater in that city,
November 23.

H. R. Darling, of Los Angeles, was
a recent visitor. He reported business
good with him since he improved his
store some time ago.

SPOKANE, WASH.

The Market.

Unusually severe weather, with some
dark days, has had its effect in some
degree on stock in the greenhouses, per-
haps most noticeably on the Killarneys.
Ophelia and Russell roses seem to be
strong enough to withstand at least the
first siege of cloudy weather. These
are of unusually good quality and, with
Hoosier Beauty, are sure to be the most
widely grown roses in the west. A
fact frequently commented on is the
superiority in coloring which our Wash-
ington-grown Ophelia roses have over
eastern-grown stock. The depth and
richness of color which Ophelia attains
under our climatic conditions are both
amazing and gratifying.

Carnations are showing up much bet-
ter in quality and are in good quantity.
More than the usual quantity of sun-
shine this fall has helped to develop the
plants to a point where most growers
are looking forward to a record-break-
ing Christmas crop. Mums, however,
have been greatly advanced by the
bright weather, but, despite this, there
should be an abundance of good blooms
for Thanksgiving.

The Market.

Although last week was close to
Thanksgiving, business held up well. Tlie
principal floral feature was the opening,
November 20, of the new marble palace
of the First National bank, which used
all the available first-class stock. Carna-
tions and locally grown violets were
scarce. The demand for violets was
met by shipments from California, but
the supply of carnations was greatly
short of the demand. Several carnation
growers have cut but few flowers, and it
is likely that the shortage will continue
untU after the holidays. Changing from
Enchantress and other early-blooming
varieties to those which come in later
account's, to some extent, for this condi-
tion.

In mums, Eaton, Dr. Enguehard, Mrs.
Jerome Jones and the pompons are in
their prime. A few Maud Dean have
come in. The cut of roses is normal for
the season; JHadJey, Ophelia, Hoosier
Beauty and Mrs. Chas. Eussell leading.
Cattleya labiata is producing well and
furnishes a supply sufficient to meet all
demands.

The officers of the California Associa-

Eight million trees will be available
for next spring's reforesting operations
from the stock of the Pennsylvania state
nurseries. More than half of the trees
are white pines. Many are furnished free

reforesting and not for shade or orna-

I do not know of a pyramidal Jap-
anese yew. Taxus baccata Hibernica,
the Irish yew, is the best columnar-
habited form of yew we have, but it
is less hardy than the Japanese yews.
If protected a little, however, it has
stood a temperature several degrees
below zero in the east without injury.

WINTERING BOXWOODS.

I would appreciate your expert ad-
vice on the following method of han-
dling boxwoods in winter storage: Our
boxwoods have grown in our nursery
since spring. I propose to dig them
with an earth ball attached, burlap
them, soak them in water and pack
them in moist shingle tow. Paper wiU
be tied loosely around the tops; then
they will be packed lightly in straw in
a slightly reclining position. Our stor-
age house is brick, lined with paper
and sheathing. Plenty of light and
air can be admitted, but there is no
heating device. Do you think that by
this method I can successfully bring
this stock through the winter, or must
there be more light, air and heatf
Your opinion on this matter will be
much appreciated. E. B. S. — 111.

heat ia unnecessary and would even be
harmful. Provided the balls are moist
and are not allowed to become dry be-
fore the stock is planted out in the
spring, I feel sure your stock will come
through in fine shape. A subdued light
for winter storage is preferable to a
strong one for all evergreens, including
bay trees, Irish yews, aucubas, English
yews, hollies and other plants that are
more or less tender in our climate.

SALES OONTEACT INTERPRETED.

The California Supreme court recent-
ly handed down a decision concerning
the exercise of an option for the pur-
chase of additional trees under a sales
contract (Pearson vs. Parsons, 159
Pacific Eeporter, 1171).

The defendant agreed to sell the
plaintiff 25,000 budded orange trees of
"standard size," the plaintiff having
an option of buying them "at 1

year old or 2 years old from the
bud," and delivery to be made between
1909 and 1911, inclusive. A separate
clause gave the plaintiff an "option to
purchase 25,000 additional standard
trees as above described, upon the same
terms and conditions as provided for the
purchase of the first 25,000 of such
standard trees." After the contract
was made, the plaintiff gave notice of
his selection of varieties for budding,
as follows: "Twenty per cent Thomp-
son improved navels; twenty-five per
cent Valencias; forty-five per cent
Washington navels; ten per cent Eureka
lemons." Still later the plaintiff served
notice that, according to the contract,
he would "buy 25,000 standard trees,
1 year old from the bud, for delivery in
April, May and June, 1909, and 25,000
standard trees, 2 years old from the
bud, to be delivered from January 1
and July 1, 1910."

The defendant denied that there was
a valid exercise of the option and re-
fused to deliver the additional 25,000
trees.

Under these circumstances, the court
holds that the plaintiff's specification
of varieties above mentioned applied to
the additional trees as well as the first
25,000, and that the second notice men-
tioned constituted a sufficient exercise
of the option. And it is further decided

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee of the
American Eose {Society held a special
session in Horticultural hall, Philadel-
phia, November 22. There was an at-
tendance of twenty-three persons, rep-
resenting the Florists' Club of Philadel-
phia and the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society.

A full discussion took place relative
to the best place for the spring exhibi-
tion of 1917. The discussion was finally
brought to a head by a motion by
Joseph Heacock, recommending holding
the meeting and exhibition in the First
Regiment armory, March 20 to 23, 1917.
The motion was unanimously carried.
It was moved that a committee be ap-
pointed to engage the armory, with
George Burton as chairman.

The matter of a manager for the ex-
hibition was gone over with care and
it was moved that the secretary cast
one vote for Adolph Farenwald as man-
ager. It was further moved that a local
secretary be appointed and Fred Cow-
perthwaite was designated for that
position. A committee on the exhibits
of private gardeners was appointed,
with William Kleinheinz, Ogontz, as
chairman. As a committee on commer-
cial exhibits the following were des-
ignated: George Burton, Chestnut
Hill, Pa.; Wallace R. Pierson, Cromwell,
Conn.; George Asmus, Chicago; E. Allan
Peirce, Waltham, Mass.; T. P. Lang-
hans, Pittsburgh; Frank A. Friedley,
Rocky River, O.; Robert Simpson, Clif-
ton, N. J.; J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati;
William F. Gude, Washington; Leo
Niessen, Philadelphia. Other appoint-
ments were: Advertising committee.

hibition was referred to Geo. Burton,

scarce in some sections of the state.

The Market.

Business last week was ratlier quiet,
according to reports, but this was not
considered unusual, as there generally
is a lull before the rush of Thanksgiv-
ing. The weather has been cold, and
thereby the quality of cut flowers is
much improved. Chrysanthemums are
of much better quality. The earlier
varieties are over and the best on the
market now are Eaton, Chadwick,
Golden Wedding, Dolly Dimple and
Bonnaffon. Prices are holding up well.
Pompons still are arriving in excellent
shape and are popular. Mum plants
continue to sell well. American Beau-
ties are on the scarce side, but the de-
mand is light. Koses are arriving in
much better condition. The leaders are
Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia,
Shawyer, Killarney Brilliant and Sun-
burst. The miniature varieties are sell-
ing well. Carnations are larger and
the demand is improving. Lilies are
coming nicely; valley is in excellent
demand and of good quality. Orchids
arc plentiful and of good quality.
There are some sweet peas on the mar-
ket, of fine quality.

Orders for Thanksgiving came in
well and all indications pointed to a
record business. A good supply of
mums, roses and carnations for the
holiday is assured. There also were
several good wedding orders booked for
the day.

Various Notes.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey cut 400 orchids
November 20 for shipment to all parts
of the country. This firm now has six
houses devoted to orchids.

The Doswell Floral Co. is receiving
some excellent Spencer sweet peas and
single violets from its greenhouses at
Lindenwood. The carnation crop also
is coming on nicely. Miss Doswell re-
ports business quiet, but orders are com-
ing in splendidly.

The Flick Floral Co. has received a
large shipment of Scotch heather plants
from the Knight & Struck Co., New
York.

Wittbold's Selected Stock of
Choice Boxwoods, Laurels and Aucubas

Large and well selected stock of Boxwoods, Eaglish Laurels, which are much hardier than bay trees, and Aucubas,
the semi-hardy evergreen shrubs noted for their golden-leaved, laurel-like foliage, spotted with bright yellow.

These stately and decorative shrubs are always in ready demand by the customers wherever they are displayed
by progressive florists.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Prices were liighor last week than
for some time, a condition due primarily
to the dark weather. Carnations, roses
and violets have been much higher-
priced. Paper Whites are here, but
there is not much demand for them. A
few Easter lilies of fair quality are to
be had. Mums are still quite plentiful,
but the demand for them has dimin-
ished.

Various Notes.

William H. Davenport had. a week of
good business.

William P. Pierce reports business
as being steady. Funeral work has
kept the force busy.

Frank L. Gray, employed by . the
Peckham Floral Co., of Fairhaven, is
still on the sick list and has had to go
to his home at Lynn, Mass.

Edward M. Pierce has about finished
his fall bedding work. Mr. Pierce re-
ports a strong demand for beds of
tulips. W. M. P.

The floricultural classes of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College visited
the A. N. Pierson, Inc., establishment
at Cromwell, Conn., November 18. Tom
Beers acted as guide to the students,
pointing out the special features and
the varied crops grown. The trip was
most enjoyable and the students left
tired but much impressed by the mag-
nitude of the business done by this
firm.

The students are engaged in the
planting of bulbs and trenching of
sweet peas this week.

The M. A. C. Florists' and Gardeners'
Club met November 23 for a discus-
sion on the publication of an annual.
Great plans are being laid for this en-
terprise and it is hoped a valuable
booklet will be the result.

.Tens Jensen, of Chicago, spent the
week end at the college. He addressed
the landscape gardening students, ex-
plaining some of his work.

The Market.

Last week the market was well
stocked with nearly everything in sea-
son. Mums continue to come in, but
they are nothing special in quality.
Bonnaffons are good and sell readily.
The pompons also are satisfactory and
plentiful, lioses are Stacking up a bit,
all growers shipping in rather heavily.
Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty roses of
best quality may be had. American
Beauties continue about the same in
quantity — enough for the demand. Val-
ley now makes $7 per hundred sprays.

Carnations are in oversupply, but of
best quality, and bring as high as $4.
Lilies are greatly in oversupply and the
demand is light. Sweet peas, hyacinths
and narcissi have made their appear-
ance in the market; also bouvardias.

Various Notes.

Some good cyclamen plants are to be
seen at B. Schroeter's Broadway store.

Frank Smith, in charge of John Breit-
meyer's Sons' greenhouses, reports that
he will have a good batch of azaleas
for the Christmas trade.

The mum show at Belle Isle this year
was well worth seeing, and drew a good
attendance.

E. V. Sullivan reports that business
at the new store is good. H. T.

USINGEE'S UTTERANCES.

John Paul, of Cumberland, Md., had
an pxceptionally good supply of stock
displayed in his neat store when T
called.

The Flower Shop, of Cumberland,
had a splendid display of novelties suit-
able for favors and parties.

.Tohn A. Bopp, of Cumberland, must
look for a new location for his green-
house before spring, as manufacturers
have purchased his land for a new
factory.

H. F. "Wissing, of "West Newton, Pa.,
in commenting on business, said that it
was vastly better than that of any
previous year.

James E. Schell, of South Connells-
ville. Pa., is building an addition to
his greenhouses.

P. R. De Muth & Sons, of Connells-
ville. Pa., have a fine crop of about
10,000 mums, and a large cut is sched-
uled for Thanksgiving.

William Steele, of Uniontown, Pa.,
has discontinued business.

Stenson & McGrail, of Uniontown,
have had their share of funeral work.
Business shows an increase over that
of former seasons and a good holiday
trade is anticipated.

L. R. Collins, of Mcyersdale, Pa., re-
cently installed a large icebox, which
is calculated to make for better display
and easier sales.

G. L. Graham, of Bradford, Pa., was
getting out several large funeral orders
when I called.

Clarence Gunton, also of Bradford, is
on a hunt for pheasants and foxes, hit-
ting the trail the first day of the
season. W. T. U.

Greenhouse Heating.

LOCATION OF RETURNS.

I wish to be informed whether under-
bench heating is practical, with two
feed lines and one return line on each
side and under the gutter, in a range
of two houses, each 18x100. Each
bench would have one feed line and its
return. I am using steam. F. L. — 0.

The question does not give any idea
of the number or width of the benches,
but we would say that it is a good plan
to have at least a part of the return
pipes under the benches, as in that posi-
tion they not only help to dry off the
soil, if it has become too wet from drip
or other causes, but by furnishing bot-
tom heat they hasten the growth of
most crops. Ordinarily, when there are
walks along the walls, it is a good plan
to place a part of the returns on the
walls, and two or three pipes under
each of the benches. To heat the house
described, to 60 degrees in zero weather,
we would run a 2-inch flow along under
the ridge, and six l^^-i'H'h returns could
be placed in coils of two pipes under
each of the benches. F. E.

POOR CIRCULATION.

We have just installed a new boiler,
in a shed at the west end of our
greenhouse. It stands on a level with
the ground and there are two flow pipes
running from the boiler to the east end
of the greenhouse, one flow on each
side, on a line with the purlins. There
are four lines of pipe under the bench
on each side, running a distance of 108
feet from the cast end to the boiler,
with a fall of one foot in that distance.
The bottom of the expansion tank is
even with the top of the flow pipes and
connects downward with the return.

For some reason, we get hardly any
circulation. We cannot put the expan-
sion tank any higher without putting
it outside, above the roof of the shed.
If we enlarge the expansion tank, will
that answer the same purpose as rais-
ing it? The piping throughout the sys-
tem is 2-inch. The smokestack is
eighteen feet high and twelve inches in
diameter. We shall appreciate any sug-
gestions that j'on can offer us in re-
gard to any defects in the arrangement
of the piping. We do not wish to put

the boiler in a pit if we can avoid doing
so. A. & G.— Kan.

The principal reason for the trouble
is because the return pipes are so near
the level of the bottom of the heating
surface of the boiler. Increasing the
size of the expansion tank will not im-
prove the circulation. Unless you can
drop the boiler at least two feet — and
four feet would be better; or,' which
amounts to the same thing, unless you
can raise the return pipes, it will be
necessary to put on a mercury genera-
tor, or in some way place the system
under pressure.

When used as an open system it will
not be possible to obtain satisfactory
results with 2-inch flow pipes supply-
ing four returns of the same size, 108
feet in length, and they should be re-
placed with 2y2-inch pipe, unless a
closed system is used. F, E.

growers, there is plenty of stock, in
first-class shape. Large quantities of
chrysanthemums are in the market and
move nicely. Funeral work has con-
sumed a good share of them and few
have gone to waste. Some of the
stores dye the whites to make them
more salable. Among the large varie-

of pompons are offered and these sell

Eussell and Stanley clears fairly well.
American Beauties do not move any too
easily. Orchids have been plentiful.
Valley is in fine shape and meets the
demand. Carnations have been checked
a little, the growers holding them back
for the holiday trade. They are in fine
condition and quite large. A few sweet
peas reach the market and sell quickly.
Violets are selling well, with prices
higher. There is quite a demand for
straw flowers at this time. Christmas

'DETROIT" RETURN TRAP- the heart o£ the "Detroit" Systems
for handling condensation.

He Wants Another
"Detroit" System

A prominent florist writes :

"I have been using a steam trap of your make these
last four years, and it has given entire satisfaction.
Now I have built another greenhouse, this trap is
not large enough to handle all condensation. * * *
Please write size and price by return mail."

"Detroit" Systems will pick up every ounce of condensa-
tion in your steam lines and turn it back to the boiler
without loss of temperature — 100 to 150 degrees hotter
than pumps can handle it. This means a saving of
from 10 to 15% in fuel alone.

KANSAS CITY.

-The Market.

Business last week was good and a
heavy Thanksgiving trade is looked
for. The glut of mums has receded
somewhat. The retailers report business
excellent. Social affairs have begun
and decorative orders are much in evi-
dence. The late-flowering mums,
Eaton, Chadwick and Frick, now are
in the market and in fine shape. There
still are some late pompons in the mar-
ket. Carnations are arriving in fine
shape and show a big improvement in
both stem and flower. White and yel-
low narcissi arrive in large quantities,
but they are cleaned up daily. Violets
and valley are plentiful and of good
quality. Violets have improved consid-
erably during the last two weeks and
better prices are obtained. Eoses
slackened up a little in supply last
week and those now arriving show an
improvement in the quality of flower.
Stevia is coming in heavily. Sweet
peas still are scarce.

Various Notes.

Eric Frandscn, of Independence, Mo.,
last week lost about 35,000 chrysanthe-
mum blooms. His mums were growing
in an old house and when the tempera-
ture dropped suddenly the plants were
frozen. It seems that bad luck strikes
this place almost every year.

Jacob Tobler, proprietor of the
Bunker Hill Greenhouses, had a misfor-
tune last week, when a leak occurred
in the boiler. He suffered a loss of all
bis ferns and soft-wooded stock by the
gas and low temperature.

E. T>. Ellsworth had the order for a
large decoration at the Country Club
last week. The decorations were quite
unusual, bay trees and boxwoods being
used with cut rOses. Over 700 chrys-
anthemums and a number of decorative
plants also were used.

Mr. Drummond, of the Kansas City
Tobacco Products Co., reports that he
now is receiving orders from coast to
coast. Business greatly exceeds his ex-
pectations.

A visit to the greenhouses of Adolph
Mohr found everything in good shape.

The Florists^ Review

NOVBMBEE 30. 1916.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Business improved last week. There
was plenty of stock with which to do a
good business ; at the same time there was
no glut in any one item. November 25
seemed to give everybody a taste of the
Thanksgiving rush to come.

Beauties are about the same as last
recorded. They meet a fair demand, and
prices have taken a jump in some in-
stances. Other roses are quite plentiful
and have, also advanced in price. Mums,
which were more or less scarce during
the first of last week, have increased in
quantity. Some extra fine Dolly Dimple
and Eaton mums are reaching the market
from local growers.

Carnations are increasing in supply and
the quality in some instances is at its
best. Ward carnations as yet are few,
but they are of special merit. Violets,
both single and double, are in heavy
demand. Orchids and valley have gone
up in price; it is rather diflScult to pro-
cure good valley at $7 per hundred.

Paper Whites are of good value and
clear rather well. Marigolds, too, are
selling rapidly; some extra fine stock
reaches the market. Greens are sufficient
and seem to clear rather satisfactorily.

Various Notes.

It is with regret that we report another
freeze at the establishment of Jerry
Brooking, of Orchard Park. The extent
of the damage done runs rather high, as
nearly every house was hit. It will be
Christmas before Mr. Brookins will ship
much to the market. His sweet peas were
coming along finely.

S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., called on the trade last week.

W. J. Palmer has purchased a new
touring car. Emil Stuntz, of Palmer's,
was on the sick list last week.

Tuesday, November 28, the manage-
ment of Stroh's Quality Flower Shop
opened its new store at 379 Main street,
almost directly across the street from the
old location. This new store has a front-
age of twenty-five feet and is seventy-five
feet deep. A refrigerating machine has
been mstalled, as well as an indirect
lighting system. An exceptionally fine
display was made for Thanksgiving.

SOMETHING NEW

In presenting our newly patented Self-locking Dirt Band and

Pot, we are pleased to offer something worth while. The many ob-
jections to the ordinary plain paper or glued bands urged us to pro-
duce something better. In producing the

RAMSBURQ SELF-LOCKINQ BAND AND POT

we have reached perfection. They are easy to set up. are self-locking and con-
tain no glue to become sour and invite fungous or insect pests. They are strong
and substantial and can be used wherever a pot is needed. Both the bands and
pots are made of cardboard, in sizes for every reauirement, and are priced as
low as the paper market will allow. Send a postal for free samples and prices.
We are manufacturing bands and pots at the rate of two million a week, and
prompt shipments are guaranteed.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

Conditions in the Washington flower
market last week showed a change for
the better. The wholesalers and grow-
ers were able to clean up more closely
each day. The prices did not show an
advance, although on an average the
returns have been better. In some
lines the supply has kept pace with
the demand. Chrysanthemums have
lost a part of their hold on the market.
Prices, which have remained fair, now
have a tendency to advance.

The sale of violets has improved
greatly and these are being marketed
in larger quantities than heretofore,
with singles the most popular. Cypri-
pedium has made its appearance. Cat-
tleyas have been scarce and the price
has advanced slightly.

The price of roses has gone up a lit-
tle, although wholesalers and growers
claim that they are not bringing their
actual worth. They are beginning to
sell better now that chrysanthemums
are nearing an end. American Beauty
roses liave been selling well, with the
supply slightly in advance of the de-
mand. The colored roses are showing
up fine. Valley is scarce and poor.
Carnations have improved both in quan-
tity and quality and longer stemmed
stock in white and colors is obtainable.
The number of Paper Whites on the
market is not large, but these flowers
are not taking well as yet. There is
practically no demand for Easter lilies.

Various Notes.

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists' Club of Washington, D. C, will
be held Tuesday evening, December 5,
at 1214 F street, northwest.

A number of Washington florists
have signified their intention of enter-
ing their automobile delivery cars in
the monster parade which, with appro-
priate pageantry, will inaugurate
"America's electrical week," begin-
ning December 2. George C. Shaffer
will have two handsomely decorated
cars in the parade. The Gude Bros.
Co. and Fred H. Kramer also will have
a number of automobiles that will meas-
ure up well as prize-winners.

A new member of the "Order of the
Fordowners" is Otto Bauer, manager
of the Washington Branch of the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co.

Washington's growers have been
somewhat handicapped by the vagaries
of the weather. New records were
made last week when on one day the

PLANT TUBS

EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR

iVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of
I everlastingr Virginia White Cedar will
best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand
of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and out with best 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 2ij4
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, furnished upon request.

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBKE 30, 1916.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

Compared with that of the week pre-
ceding, business for the week ending
November 25 was rather dull. There
were a few social functions and fU-
nerals that provided work for some, but
not enough to make anybody step live-
ly. The retailers are well supplied with
cut flowers and plants, and, according
to preparations made, a good Thanks-
giving is expected.

There is a perfect flood of mums —
glorious yellow, pink and white flowers
they are, of premier quality. Pompons,
too, are in profusion; a call for any
particular color or variety of these
could be quickly satisfied. Eoses are
arriving nicely, Ophelia and Milady be-
ing particularly good property on ac-
count of their perfect blooms and long
stems. Lilies are scarce, and the prices
steep. The valley situation remains the
same — the receipts small, with 100
sprays worth $7. Violets are more
plentiful and enjoy a good sale. De-
sirable cyclamens are more conspicuous
and there is a growing demand for other
good plants.

Ample preparations are being made
for a banner Christmas business, many
of the retailers this year making use
of artificial flowers in attractive ar-
rangements, baskets, etc.

Various Notes.

The annual festival and dance of the
Florists' Club was held Friday night,
November 24. A good crowd came out
and enjoyed the evening.

Last week was a busy one at the
park board greenhouses. At the close
of the mum sliow 4,000 blooms were
cut and distributed to various institu-
tions in the city.

The Fifth street store of the Whitted
Floral Co. last week had a splendid
window display of dinner and luncheon
table decorations.

As usual, Thomas S. Lyncs had a
unique window of fine stock last week.

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

NEWAEK, N. J.

The Market.

There has been no rush among the
Newark florists during the last week,
although for the most part business has
been fairly good. There were some
flowers sold for Thanksgiving, but on
the whole this did not add to the ag-
gregate of business, as it was counter-
balanced by the fact that everyone was
thinking of Thanksgiving and its fes-
tivities, to the neglect of weddings
and other social events. Flowers are
plentiful and in large variety. Chrys-
anthemums continue to rule the market,
while other flowers act more as fillers.
Indications are, however, that chrys-
anthemums are at their height and that
it will not be long before they will be-
gin to wane. The flowers that now
come into the market are, however, of
fine quality. Carnations and sweet peas
are coming into the market, but as yet
there is comparatively little demand for
them. Some fine violets have also been
in the market during the last few days.
There has been a good sale of bulbs for
fall planting during the last week. A
few potted geraniums for winter use
have appeared.

Various Notes.

Venders of flowers arc still on the
street with their -push carts, "which is
later in the season than they have been
seen here before.

The S. A. Kogers Nursery Co. has
a window display that is appropriate to
the season. In the center of the win-
dow are some of the large varieties of
chrysanthemums and at the side corn-
stalks nearly ten feet tall with the
partly unhusked corn showing the ripe
corn. In the front part of the window
is a collection of fall bulbs.

Mansfield, O. — Stuhldreher Bros., who
have devoted their facilities to both
vegetables and flowers, have expanded
their business by opening a retail store
on Fourth street. Clarence Stuhldreher
has been taken into partnership with
George and Leo Stuhldreher, and he
will have charge of the store. A. C.
Gardner, a decorator and designer of
many years' experience, formerly of
Chicago, has become associated with the
firm. Instead of shipping their flowers
to wholesalers in the large cities, as has
been the case in the past, the firm will
endeavor to dispose of its entire out-
put here. The production of vegetables
will be discontinued and a specialty
made of cut flowers and plants.

lis

NEWPOET, R. I.

A hearing was given a few days ago
to Henry J. Hass on his claim of $375
for damages to his wagon and contents
by a collision with a piece of the city's
fire apparatus. The matter has been
held for further consideration.

Charles Matley, for many years in
charge of the greenhouses and grounds
of the Bennett estate, has resigned to
engage in the greenhouse business for
himself.

Arthur W. Potter has been summoned
for grand jury duty and Thomas J.
Dugan and Henry S. Kesson for petit
duty.

William Gray was a recent business
visitor to New York.

Mr. and Mrs. William MacKay have
returned from a trip to New York.

Albert J. Smythe, of Wadley &
Smythe, had an exciting experience a
few days ago. A horse attached to a
delivery wagon belonging to the firm
ran wild on Broadway. Mr. Smythe and
another man started in pursuit in an
automobile. As the machine was pass-
ing the horse Mr. Smythe stepped out
to seize the animal, but on missing his
footing he was hurled heavily to the
ground. The wheels of the auto passed
over his left leg and the wagon then
struck the prostrate man. Mr. Smythe,
although badly shaken up and bruised,
escaped with no broken bones. The
horse was stopped a short distance from
where Mr. Smythe fell. W. H. M.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.

The regular meeting of the Oyster
Bay Horticultural Society was held in
Firemen's hall, November 22, President
Walker presiding. The committee hav-
ing in charge the fifth annual dinner of
the society made its report. It was
generally agreed to hold the feast at
the Oyster Bay Inn, December 12, at
7:30 sharp. D. Beaton, James Duck-
ham and John Sorosick acted as judges
of the exhibits and awarded the soci-
ety's blue ribbon to Joseph Robinson,
for fifty violets. A. Andrews, Robert
Wright, George Hale, William Eecles
and John McCulloch were elected to
membership. Applications were re-
ceived from William Ford, Jr., and F.
F. Ayer.

Several members addressed the so-
ciety on timely and instructive sub-
jects. Exhibits scheduled for the next
meeting are: Six poinsettias, twelve
eweet peas and twelve narcissi. The
steward sprung a surprise on the crowd
in the form of eats, drinks and smokes.
John T. Ingram, Sec'y.

Terra Haute, Ind. — Living models
adorned with anklet bouquets and other
conceits in corsages and sprays — an
idea recently exploited by The Review
as material for publicity — were the
means by which the management of
the Rosery Flower Shop recently "put
over" a most successful fall opening.
Favors of roses and mums were pre-
sented to the callers, who formed a
throng during the morning and after-
noon. The affair was in the nature of
a mum show and a miniature Japanese
pagoda in ivory occupied the center
of the store. K. G. Drayton now is
manager of the store, having acquired
a half interest. E. Reiss, the president
of the new formation, calls attention to
two long write-ups of the fall opening
in the daily papers.

The problems have been worked out beforehand by
competent engmeers of long experience, and the machinery

First cost is no greater, but satisfaction is un-

The Florists' Review

NOVEMBKE 30, 1916.

YOU MAY WANT TO SELL.
BUILD SO YOU CAN SELL

Suppose. Mr. Greenhouse Man, you want to sell your property after a few years — how about that? If It la built
of Cypress, the recogrnized wood for greenhouse construction, you will not have to meet the objection of the proposed
purchaser that the building will not last — that it is not standard-built. You will not need to go into an argument
to try and convince him that the substitute wood is as good as the recognized standard wood— CYPRESS.

In other words. Cypress is so firmly established as the definitive greenhouse wood that a structure built of it is
as standard as gold dollars. A Cjrpress greenhouse will sell — it is an asset. Everybody knows what Cypress stands
for in greenhouse construction; if anybody knows what the substitute woods stand for, we would be glad to bear
from him.

It seems to us worth while for you to accept the verdict of time, test and all worthy experience in greenhouse
work and build of Cypress, the greenhouse wood. That is your only course for securing a real asset in the under-
taking.

If you built with anything but Cypress and ever want to sell, you would need to hunt around and find some pur-
chaser who was wholly ignorant of the universal standard practice in greenhouse construction — which is Cjrpress
from ridge-pole to foundation, with "Pecky" posts, benches and standards. You wouldn't be abl9 to sell to any-
body who knows Cypress or who knows anybody else who knows. These suggestions are worth while, even though
you don't expect to sell out. They simply mean making the most of your investment, for your own sake.

Think them over.

STIR UP THE ANIMALS

In the meantime, you will do well to send us your compliments regarding the Cypress Pocket Library, and draw
on these 42 free volumes for what you can use. They're tremendously free — a postal or letter to our office will be
followed by a noise that sounds like somebody sending the booklets you ask for — in a hurry. Try it pretty soon.
Vol. 1 treats of the wood in general and contains a list of the 42 volumes. VoL 3 is the GREENHOUSE BOOK.
Vol. 36 is a book about home Carpentry; Vol. 37 is the big Silo Book.

You Won't Guess Wrong

This is the new AGMCO range of the
Albert F. Amiing Co., Maywood, 111.

You know half-way measures find no favor in the eyes of the
alert, progressive business men and growers that compose the
corporation of the Albert F. Amiing Co. They will not touch a
proposition unless they are thoroughly satisfied it is the best
they can buy with a brainy use of good money. But when they
are satisfied they go at it with a will. That's how the Company
attained to its present enviable position in the trade, and why it
gave to the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., last year, the largest
single order in the history of the trade— an order for the erec-
tion of 300,000 square feet of glass.

You keen growers know what this means— you, too,
are alert, progressive business men. You will select
your houses as you do your stock— select the best.

How about the AGMCO catalogue ? Did you get it ? No ?
Then just say the word and the book is yours !

WIDE GREENHOUSES

Furnished by us for D. F. Harrison Co., of Kankakee. III.

It is only a little over a year ago that the site
of this greenhouse range was nothing but a big corn-
field.

There are now two ()5 x 450 ft. greenhouses and
a large concrete boiler and packing room.

Think of these two mammoth greenhouses filled
with cucumber vines the year around, and think of the

fine prices you get for cucumbers in the winter season.

When it comes to building big greenhouses sub-
stantially and economically, we certainly can show
you how to do it, and we are always willing and
anxious to co-operate with you.

WHEN Cyrus McCormick came up out of
Virginia, 70 years ago, and built his
first factory in Chicago, he had an eye for the
future.

He saw that the great West was bound to
be a vast wheat and corn growing section, and
that the harvesting machinery tliat was made
at a point where distribution was most central,
would get the most business.

The mammoth International Harvester Com-
pany is the present-day result of Mr. McCor-
mick's looking ahead.

When you plan your first greenhouse, or start
a new range, plan it with a far-seeing eye to
the future.

Picture in your mind how
you will build your houses to
economically take care of ten
times your present needs.

Based on ten, you can make
it one hundred times the size
and still preserve operating
economy.

In the last ten years the
greenhouse business has moved
with tremendous strides. So

The dark part shows the present houses.
Tlie light parts as it will expand into a
perfectl.v l-alanced layout. Several more
houses could be added on each side ami
still be erononiicul.

fast, in fact, that it's been a bit difficult to
keep pace with its changes.

The meeting of conditions in different parts
of the country differs widely.

That's why we have established six branch
offices and three factories to best meet them.

Each branch manager is a trained greenhouse
expert, who with his assistants is continually
making a careful study of conditions in their
territory.

Constantly are the.se branches kept in touch
with the main office, and the experts at the
factories.

In addition to their immediate knowledge,
they have the advantage of this
concern's half century in busi-
ness, to back up their recom-
mendations to you.

Their help should be invalu-
able to you in planning with
you for the future.

Through them our entire
organization of experts is at
your disposal.

Let us urge you to take every
advantage of it.

MAGNOLIA FACTS

flYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions.

QDye colors have advanced from_1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

in prices since the war began,

as have also the paper cartons.
In spite of this, we are in posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnolia Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

tlWe guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war, and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

C.You fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

P/i/ttfiAy ^^^^pS><i6/^A/*U ^^ macnoUa leaf Is only worth ualne U

\S.(y>idCamada,

fA.

It has been fully preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when you consider the poor val ue of these goods.

THE MOST REMARKABLE VALUE EVER OFFERED

'^0 HANDLE BASKETS <ft 1 0*00

.^''.i'3 !-!; 1

This is a Special Christmas Offer we shall never repeat— it is made
only to introduce the Johnson line and awaken the entire florists*
trade to realize the wonderful values we are giving.

This "Best-of-AU" assortment contains 50 Handle Baskets such as every florist
needs for Christmas sales— 50 Baskets, complete with liners. The height
averages 14 to 22 inches. Some are staple styles, can be used the year around;
others are finished in the best Christmas effects— just the thing for Ruscus,
Boxwood, Holly, Statice and other Christmas stock. Ten of the 50 are open
work. Altogether it is a value we believe no florist will feel he can afford
to overlook— it will be our greatest ad.

ORDER TODAY. WE WANT YOU TO RECEIVE THE FIRST LOT IN TIME TO ORDER SOME MORE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

WE ADVISE OUR FRIENDS TO RUSH ORDERS FOR

Craig Quality Christmas Plants

PLANT BASKETS

Our Plant Baskets have been so well re-
ceived that they are now a very Important
feature of our Christmas business. Last
year we offered only one style In three sizes.
This year we have about twenty-flve differ-
ent numbers. All are flrst-class, both as to
style of basket and filling.

Nothing but highly-colored well-grown
stock is used, such as Dracaenas In variety,
Crotons, Pandanus, Ferns, etc. On account
of being filled early and becoming estab-
lished, they are bound to give you and your
customer satisfaction. We cannot recom-
mend them too highly.

Many of the baskets and window boxes are
In two-tone effect.

All baskets have zinc (not tin) liners.

fronds. It is not so compact in growth as

^ FOR CALCEOLARIA

"Next to novelty, variety is most sought for hy the public in plants and
flowers. It is the part of policy, as well as the path to prosperity, to revive
old favorites rather than to kill off present ones hy making them too com-
mon. People often get "too much of a good thing," even in flowers. Here
is a good plant that is deserving of greater popularity.

LANTS, like people, have
their ups and downs in pub-
lie estimation, their times
of popularity and their
times of obscurity. The
varieties of plants that are
now in great demand may
be friendless and forgotten in the near
future, and waiting in vain for a pur-
chaser. The plants that now are the
"ins" may soon be the "outs," and
florists who would always have salable
stock must be as watchful as politicians
in regard to the ever-changing opinions
of the public.

Sometimes it is easy to explain why
a plant — or a person — has fallen into
disrepute. The plant — like many per-
sons— has been guilty of some sort of
misbehavior, or some new favorite has
rudely pushed it to one side and taken
its place in the limelight. In the case
of some other plants — the calceolaria,
for instance — the reason for their down-
fall is not so clearly apparent.

Has Seen Better Days.

For the calceolaria certainly is not so
popular as it once was, and probably
not so popular as it deserves to be,
since it is both showy and attractive
and seems to be well adapted for use
as a decorative plant
in the show house, the
conservatory or the
home. There may be
various reasons for its
dethronement; a com-
bination of circum-
stances may have
acted against it, but
one well-i n f o r m e d
grower says the chief
reason is that the cal-
ceolaria, though not
really difficult to grow,
is easily ruined by
Qeglect. That state-
ment may not mean
that the plant is espe-
cially sensitive and
peevish about the
treatment it receives,
but may mean simply
that there are certain
reasonable attentions
which it absolutely de-
mands, as any self-re-
specting plant would.

But, though the flo-
rist, in trying to select
the best sellers, must
be largely controlled
by the public whims,
he may also do much

to control those same whims, like the
woman who skillfully manages her hus-
band, or thinks she does, though out-
wardly pretending to obey his slightest
wish. It is frequently profitable for
the florist thus to exert an influence on
the market. Why, then, should he not
aid in creating a market for calceolarias,
if at the same time he would help,
rather than hinder, the sale of his other
plants t Why should he not grow a
batch of calceolarias from seed, or pur-
chase a few of the young plants for re-
tailing, since he would thus increase
the variety and attractiveness of his en-
tire stock and stimulate the market?

Great Variety, But Few Varieties.

In this matter of introducing greater
variety and relieving monotony the cal-
ceolaria is peculiarly serviceable, be-
cause it is odd and unique in appear-
ance and because a package or two of
the seeds, if obtained from a reliable
firm, will produce many different types
of beautiful, pocket-like flowers, richly
and variously colored, spotted and
blotched. Perhaps it would have been
proper to say "slipper-like" flowers, in-
stead of "pocket-like," since the name
of the plant is formed from the Latin
word ' ' calceolus, ' ' meaning a ' * slipper. ' '

As an Attractive and Showy Pot Plant the diceolarfa is Not Easily Surpassed.

In this connection it may be inter-
esting to note that present-day cal-
ceolarias, though so diversified in ap-
pearance, are not easily divisible into
separate varieties or species, and mod-
ern growers make little or no attempt
at such division. In other words, cal-
ceolarias, as commonly grown, show
great variety but few distinct varieties.
They have been hybridized and hybrid-
ized, accidentally and intentionally, in
the greenhouse and in the garden, until
all clear trace of their ancestry has
been lost. They are an inextricably
mixed race. Perhaps you have known
of some dog which, though an excellent
and lovable animal, belonged to no par-
ticular breed, but was ' ' just dog. ' ' Like-
wise, many of the best calceolarias are
just calceolarias.

A Place In tlie Family.

Botanically speaking, however, there
are, or were, about 200 distinct species
of calceolarias, the progenitors of the
present commercial sorts. Hence the
botanist who tries to classify calceolaria
plants correctly, both scientifically and
practically, is sure to find himself in a
maze of difficulties. So, also, the person
who would undertake to state just
what kind of calceolaria is shown in
the accompanying illus-
tration, and would at-
tempt to give it an
exact name and place
in the calceolaria fam-
ily, would only be
courting trouble. Still,
if the plant in the
picture had a string of
high - sounding names
stretching four or five
inches in length, and
if its genealogy could
be traced directly to a
plant that was brought
over in the Mayflower,
it could scarcely bear
a denser mass of
blooms.

The calceolaria fam-
ily comprises a shrub-
by section as well as a
herbaceous one, but
only the herbaceous
plants are cultivated
to any extent in
America. The shrubby
forms, though great
favorites in many
European gardens, do
not flourish outdoors in
the hot American sum-
mers and are less orna-

mental in the greenhouse than are the
herbaceous sorts.

Growing the Plants.
As already intimated, the herbaceous
kinds are generally grown from deeds.
The seeds are extremely smAlI; there-
fore, after being sown, the/ may be
gently pressed down into the compost,
but should Piither be left vincovered or
covered onl> slightly. A piece of glass
may be placed on the top of the seed
pan, and afterward removed by degrees.
Opinions differ widely as to the best
time to sow the seeds. They may, in-
deed, be sown any time from early
spring until late summer, but the seed-
lings are easily injured by the hot mid-
summer weather. Hence one grower as-
serts that even if the seeds are sown

as late as September, the plants can be
bloomed the following May and with
less risk of failure than from earlier
sowings. Another grower advises sow-
ing not later than April, so as to give
the seedlings a good start before the
scorching heat arrives.

A temperature of about 60 degrees is
favorable for the germination of the
seeds. During" the summer and early
fall the plants may be grown in cold-
frames or in a cool greenhouse, prefera-
bly with a northern exposure. In win-
ter a greenhouse temperature of 40 de-
grees at night, with a rise of 10 or 15
degrees in the daytime and with little
OF no shade, is suitable. They dislike
strong heat at any stage of their
growth.

The seedlings should first be trans-

planted into 2i4nch or 3-ineh pots. In
early winter j^the plants should be re-
moved to 5-inch pots, and about March
1 they may be placed in 7-inch or 8-inch
pots, for flowering. The compost for
the seed pans and for the first potting
should be extremely light, consisting of
equal parts of fibrous loam, sand and
leaf -mold. For the later pottings the
soil should be a light, somewhat lumpy
loam, with a fourth or fifth of well de-
cayed manure; some sand must be added
if the soil is at all heavy. One prac-
tical grower recommends a soil consist-
ing of equal parts of fibrous loam, fern-
root, leaf-mold, sand and dried cow
manure. The plants may be fed with
manure water after they are well rooted
in their flowering pots.

RETAIJU STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

"PLEASE OMIT FLOWERS."

Every now and then the "Please omit
flowers" agitation breaks out, but
usually it is short-lived and dies all the
quicker for lack of opposition. Occa-
sionally, however, a champion of flow-

ers appears, as in the following instance,
a clipping from the Macon News sent
in by the Idle Hour Nursery Co.:

SENSE AND SENTIMENT.

In a recent Issue of the London Times the
following advertisement appears:

"By the special desire of the late Clement
Leigh Wataon-Smith friends are requested not to

1 «

U ■■■'■■>v

Is. '

f

%r

\

send flowers at his funeral, but In lieu thereof
a donation to the Faversham Cottage hospital
would be appreciated by his family."

The obvious comment which the average per-
son would be inclined to make with regard to
this unusual request would be that the money
undoubtedly would do more good if donated to
the hospital instead of being spent for flowers.
But is there not another side to the question?
Are we becoming so utilitarian In these latter
days that our criteria of values are to be thus
weighed and measured with such nice calcula-
tion?

The custom of bringing a few flowers to the
bier of our beloved dead is one which, what-
ever Its origin, expresses a sentiment which
finds echo deep in the common heart of man.
The parting from a loved one through death
is a universal experience, one which sooner or
later brings us face to face with the one In-
soluble mystery of life. Faith alone solves It
in keeping with the longings of the human
heart. Faith upholds and strengthens the frag-
ile and tender hopes of love when love faces
the cold and lifeless form of one beloved. Some-
how there is an Involuntary groping after some
tangible expression of aU this, and what more
beautiful and appropriate form could it take
than the bringing of an offering of a few fra-
grant blossoms to his grave? And why should
such a perfect expression of love be marred by
the utilitarian consideration as to whether the
pittance spent might not be put to better use?

So, In spite of the apparent good sense of
the gentleman's "special desire," we shall bring
to the bier of each departing friend, as in turn
they leave us through the coming years, an of-
fering in keeping with the tender sentiment
■which prompts It — whether it be good sense or
not.

This not only is an excellent answer
to the "Please omit flowers" propa-
ganda, but it is a splendid boost for the
use of flowers at funerals, for there is
nothing could take their place.

THE CIRCLE FLOWER STORE.

The Circle Flower Store, one of the
finest flower establishments in Indian-
apolis, as shown in the two accompany-
ing illustrations, was opened to the pub-
lic Thanksgiving day. This was a
pleasant holiday surprise, as the an-
nouncement had been for December 2.
Thousands of people showed their ap-
preciation and to "the visitors were pre-
sented clever little folders, in which
were printed poetical descriptions of
flowers.

Upon entering the store, one steps
into a veritable garden, with flowers,
birds and convenient garden seats. There
is a background of palms and ferns, a
pergola and a delicate blue overhead,
all of which make realistic the scene
interpreted. One becomes aware, on
looking around, that the owners of the

store love beauty for beauty's sake;
that they strive for no display, but let

own effects. The appointments were se-

appeal is that of simple elegance and
refinement.

In addition to flowers, the store will
carry a complete line of baskets, vases,

A. P. Reynolds, the manager and
owner of the Circle Flower Store, said:

"In completing this store, we, Mrs.
Reynolds and I, are realizing an ambi-
tion we have had for a long time. We
have wanted a shop that was not a
shop — just a beautiful place — as nearly
like nature as human hands could make
it, where people could come and wander
and admire as in some old-fashioned
garden in days gone by. We shall be
well pleased if the people will like it for
what it represents in flowers — beauty."

FLOWERS rOR THE SICK.

It is quite common to see in florists'
stores such signs as "Tokens of Sym-
pathy," "Emblems of Condolence"
and similar suggestions in floral offer-
ings for the departed, but seldom is at-
tention called to the idea of sending
flowers to the sick, who rarely, should
they be fortunate enough to recover,
forget the kindly act. On the other
hand, if the sick pass away their last
moments may be cheered by the pres-
ence of a few flowers.

From a practical viewpoint this item
of business can be made profitable.
While the first cost may be small com-
pared with that of a funeral piece, the
flowers may remain vivid in the mem-

ory of the patient after recovery,
whereas the obituary token is soon for-
gotten.

This reminds me of a dialogue I once
read purporting to be held between
an American sailor, who was on his
way to deposit a wreath on the grave
of a comrade in the cemetery, at
Shanghai, and a Chinaman, whom he
met in the cemetery. The Chinaman
was carrying a pot of rice.

"Hello, John," said the tar, "where
are you going with that?"

and smellee your flowers," replied
John.

In the course -of my experience I
have witnessed some remarkable re-
turns to convalescence, often, I am
sure, through the presence of a bunch
of flowers, which possibly recalled to
the sick some happy recollections and
inspired the hope and determination to
join the donor at the earliest possible
moment. Not every sick person has
thoughtful friends who can afford to
brighten up the sick room with flowers,
and here the far-seeing florist has
splendid opportunity to advertise his
business and name by sending his sur-
plus stock to the local hospital, instead
of consigning it to the garbage barrel,
a dead loss. He can send it to the hos-
pital with his card, a living reminder,
for it would invariably find its way
through the proper channel and fulfill
a twofold mission. No one is more ap-
preciative and reciprocative than the
average patient. There are exceptions,
•true, but I am convinced that in the
sick chamber many lasting resolutions
are made, many of which could be the
continued use of flowers.

"Ho! Hoi" laughed the sailor, "and

Growing the Plants.
As ylreai'y intimated, tlie lierhaeeous
kinds ai'o fajeiuM'aliy grown i'ro'n needs.
The seeds are exlrenieiy sninll; there-
fore, after lieinLT sown, llier may l)e
gently jircssed down into the eonipost,
but sliould (>ither be left aneovered or
covcrod onJv sli^i^htly. A piei'O of ^lass
nia}* be 2)la('(^d on the toji of lh(> seed
pan, and afterward removed b,\- decrees.
Opinions dilfer wiijely as to tlie l)est
time to sow tlie seeds. Tiioy may, in-
deed, be sown any 1iin(> fioni eaidy
spriiiLT until late summer, but the seed-
lings are easily injui'ed by the hot mid-
Buninier \veather. Ibuiee one grower as-
serts that i'\en if the seeds are sown

as late as September, the plants can be
bloomed the following ]\Iay and with
less risk of failure than from earlier
sowiiii^s. Another growt'r adxises sow-
in;; not later than April, so as to give
the si'e>Hini;s a good start before the
scoicliinii heat arrives.

A temjH'raturo of al>out (iO tlegrees is
fa\ oiable fiu' the germination of the
seeds. During" the summer and early
fall tin' jilants may bo gr(jwn in cobl-
franies oi- in a cool greenliouse, prefera-
bly with a northern exjiosure. In win-
ter a i^reenhouse temjierature of 40 de-
j^rees at night, with a rise of 10 or 15
(U'L;i'ers in the daytime and with little
ov no shade, is suitable. They dislike
strong lu'.'it at any stage of their
jirowt h.

The seedliii^js should first be trans-

planted into 2-inch or 3-incli pots. In
early winter the plants should be re-
moveil to 5-iiU'li pots, and about March
1 they may be placed iu 7-inch or 8-inch
l)ots, for flowering. The compost for
the seed pans and for the lirst pottiu<;
should be I'xtreincly light, consisting ot
('(jual i>arts of librous loam, sand and
leaf-mold. For the later pottings the
soil should be a light, somewhat lumpy
loam, with a fourth or fifth of well de-
cayed manure; some sand must be added
if the soil is at all lieavy. One prac-
tieal (jiower recommends a soil consist-
ing of e<|ual parts of fibrous loam, fern
root, leaf-mold, sand and dried ';ow
manure. The plants may be fed with
manure water after they are well rooted
in their flowering pots.

i Buddlela Aslatica.

Buddleia Asiatica, the white, sweet-
scented buddleia, commonly called the
white winter lilac, now is opening its
flowers. It makes a most welcome addi-
tion to the list of Christmas-flowering
plants. It may be true that scarlet
plants are preferred at the holidays,
but no other Christmas plant has the
delightful fragrance of this buddleia, a
fragrance which equals that of Olea
fragrans and Daphne odorata. Unlike
these two plants, however, the buddleia
is of easy propagation and a rapid
grower. Plants from spring-rooted cut-
tings now are in 8-inch pots and are
bushy and three to four feet in height,
each carrying scores of white racemes.
A temperature of 50 degrees at night
brings this into flower for Christmas,
but it can be kept 10 degrees cooler
and flowered »6 late as mid-February.

I Fjrapagating Begonias.

It is ■about the right time now to get-
in a good batch of leav-es of any of
the popular winter-flowering begonias.
Place clean, sharp sand in the cutting
bench. If too fine, add some fine coal
ashes, coal or charcoal to give porosity.
Either break or cut off the leaf stalk —
it makes little difference which. Water
well as soon as benched and give the
necessary shade. A steady bottom
heat is necessary for successful propa-
gation and this should be 80 to 85 de-
grees. Plants propagated from leaves
are much more vigorous than those
raised froni cuttings later in the sea-
son. In addition to Gloire de liorraine,
Glory of Cincinnati, Melior and Mrs.
Peterson, the large-flowered English
hybrids, which far outclass all other
begonias in size of flowers and bril-
liancy, can also be increased from
leaves in the same way. Of these lat-
ter Mrs. Heal, optima, Apricot and
aurcana are a fine quartet..

Early Tulips and Narcissi.

I doubt whether there is any money
in tulips and narcissi for Christmas, as
so large a percentage will come short;
stemmed or blind, but in January they
sell well. The present is a suitable
time to house a batch of any of the
earliest tulips and narcissi, but be sure
they are well rooted and have made
two or three inches of top growth.
Draw the tulips up in a warm, dark
case, but give the narcissi a position
below a bench in a warm house. La
Eeine and White Hawk are the best
early tulips for forcing, while the
French-grown narcissi force much ear-
lier than the Dutch stock, although
they carry smaller flowers.

Freesias.

Christmas freesias are always splen-
did sellers. To have them on time, the
plants will now need 55 degrees at
night. Give them a light bench or
shelves, if possible, and an abundant
water supply. Our plants showed
flower spikes before Thanksgiving.

They are grown in 8-inch and 10-inch
pans and average thirty inches in
height.

SpecioBum Lilies.
Speciosum lilies have just come to
hand from Japan and should be planted
outdoors or potted with as little delay
as possible. When plantipg •. them out,
cover the bulbs to a depth of nine
inches, placing some sharp sand above
as well as below them. A common
blunder is made in planting lilies too
near the surface. Such bulbs speedily
fritter away their strength when hot,
dry weather sets in, unless well wa-
tered. An ideal manner of planting
hardy lilies is to dot them in rhododen-
dron beds. The soil in these suits them
and the leaf mulch prevents the soil
from drying out.

If wanted for indoor work, the bulbs
may be planted in boxes six to eight
inches deep, or in pots. I prefer to
use 8-inch pots, which will hold four,
five or six bulbs each, according to the
size of the bulbs. Place the pots in a
coldframe, under a bench in a cool
greenhouse or in a cellar. It is well
to state that these lilies cannot be flow-
• ered for Easter or even for Memorial
day, but will be of great value from the
end of June until September. For ear-
lier bloom cold storage bulbs, which
start more quickly, must be used.

Deciduous Shrubs for Forcing.

No time should be lost in lifting and
potting carefully any field-grown stock
of lilacs, deutzias, laburnums, malus,
prunus, etc. While it is customary to
depend on imported pot-grown plants
of these shrubs for forcing, any stock
which has been forced and planted out
a couple of years in the field, if lifted
carefully with good fibers and some
ball, will force just as well as the
Dutch-grown, imported; pot plants and
will often give-better results. As this
stock should not be started for some
time yet, store it in a cold, frost-proof
pit until it is wanted.

STEMS SLENDER AND WEAK.

Kindly inform us as to the advisa-
bility of using bone meal for our car-
nations. They are growing nicely, but
something seems to be lacking in the
soil, as the stems are slender and weak.
We are applying plenty of liquid cow
manure, but that does not strengthen
the stems sufficiently.

stem could be stronger. Will you please
advise me as to the cause of the trou-
ble and how to avoid it? A. S. — 111.

Liquid cow manure is not the proper
thing for producing strong stems on
your carnations. If your plants had
good stems, the liquid manure would in-
crease the size of the' blooms and pro-
mote a strong growth, but in your case
there is something lacking either in
your soil or in your cultural methods.
Possibly your soil is too light and is de-
ficient in potash. In that case an appli-
cation of wood ashes or ground lime-
stone might remedy the trouble. Per-
liaps you have run your houses too warm
and neglected to ventilate sulliciently,
or you may have kept too much shade
on the glass. Any of these things would
have the result of which you complain.
Cut out the liquid manure for a while
and work along the lines suggested.
A. F. J. B.

MAY BE ESCAPING GAS.

I have a strong, healthy-looking batch
of Enchantress carnations. The plants
have received the usual care, with a
night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees.
Now, while the blooms are large, they
take on a wrinkled, sleepy appearance
when open. Sometimes the flower looks
well on the plant, but as soon as it is
cut it goes to sleep. Moreover, the

If your carnations are making a
strong growth and are growing in a
temperature of 50 degrees or less, they
should have good keeping qualities.
The stems should be stronger, unless
your soil is deficient in lime. A light
dressing of lime, watered in, should
correct that. See if you can find escap-
ing gas around the place. That would
have the effect you complain of.

A. F. J. B.

YELLOWS YET UNCONTROLLABLE.

Please identify the disease on the car-
nations enclosed herewith. When "the
plants were benched a few of them
showed yellowish spots, which later
spread and sometimes formed white
spots. Some of this trouble appeared
last year, but this year it is spreading
over the entire house. The soil is a
clay loam and sod, with about one-
fourth well rotted cow manuie. I have
maintained an even temperature and
the ventilation has been good. I have
sprayed the plants with nicotine ex-
tract and Bordeaux mixture, but this
does not seem to have checked the dis-
("ase. G. E. Y.— Okla.

The disease you complain of is the
carnation yellows, formerly known as
stigmonose. bacteriosis, etc. There is
a great difference in opinion as to the
cause of this disease. It is under in-
vestigation at the present time at one
of the experiment stations as well as
on commercial places. You cannot ef-

feet a cure by external applications;
that is why the Bordeaux and the nico-
tine had no effect on the disease. Keep
the soil a trifle on the dry side and
avoid fertilizers that will tend to pro-
duce a soft growth, such as liquid cow
manure, sheep manure, nitrate of soda,
etc. Use more lime and bone meal, if
your plants really need feeding.
Toward spring you can use a liberal
manure mulch without harmful results.

A. F. J. B.

CATCH SNAILS AT NIGHT.

Large snails have made their home
in three or four of our carnation and
sweet pea benches. They chew every-
thing in sight. We have tried nicotine
exiraet, Slug Shot — in fact, everything
we could think of — without results. Do
you know of an effective exterminator?

D. & S.— 0.

If you have tried all the forms of
poisoned bait without effect, the only
remedy left is to pick the snails by
hand. As they feed at night, you will
have little difficulty in> catching them,
if they are the large kind. Get a
strong bull's-eye lantern and go along
the beds where they are in the habit
of feeding, and you will be able to
pick them up and destroy them. Be-
fore resorting to this, I would suggest
that you try spraying the plants thor-
oughly with arsenate of lead.

A. F. J. B.

CASE OF CARNATION YELLOWS.

I am sending you some carnation
leaves that seem to be badly affected
with some disease. The trouble started
several weeks ago and is spreading
rapidly. Kindly inform me what the
disease is and give a remedy for it.

F. F. 0.— 0.

Your carnations are troubled with
the disease called carnation yellows.
The cause of this disease is not defi-
nitely known and no effective method
of control as yet has been worked out.
The American Carnation Society has
taken the matter in hand and a solu-
tion no doubt will be reached in due
time. For the present, I suggest that
you follow a moderate course in your
culture. Avoid anything that will tend
to produce a soft growth. Eun the
soil just a trifle drier than you ordi-
narily would and give the plants plenty
of ventilation, along with a cool tem-
perature. Avoid those fertilizers that
are high in nitrogen until the sun gets
stronger, towards spring.

This disease always is worse during
the dull winter months than in the
early fall, when the sun is stronger.
When propagating avoid those plants
which show much of this disease, be-
cause, while the young shoots may not
show much of it and the plants may
seem to outgrow it in the summer, the
disease surely will reappear the next
winter. A. F. J. B.

ROSETTE, WONDER, BEACON.

I am sending you under separate
cover some carnation blooms and would
like to have you tell me the cause of
their condition. The flowers have the
appearance of being burned around the
edges. Some of them open fully, but
others appear sleepy and do not expand
completely. The plants are grown un-
der the approved treatment and seem

healthy and strong. Rosette is affected
more than any ox the other varieties,
with White Wonder next and then. Bea-
con. Enchantress Supreme seems to
have escaped the trouble.

G. I.— 111.

I regret to say that I cannot tell you
positively what is the cause of the
blooms coming in that crinkled condi-
tion. We have always held that it is
caused by a loss of vitality in thie stock.
You usually will find that a plant which
throws one of these blooms will give no
perfect blooms. All will have that same
crinkled appearance to a greater or
less degree, and one of these plants
may stand among a lot of perfectly
good ones. Rosette showed this fault
all the time we grew it and White Per-
fection developed it during the last year
or two. White Wonder has never shown
it with us, nor has Beacon, except when
a plant was badly affected with the yel-
lows. I would suggest that you change
your stock of the varieties thus affected,
as the simplest means of escaping the
evil. A. F. J. B.

PRIMULA FOLIAGE WHITE.

Can you tell us what causes the foliage
of our Primula obconica plants to turn
white! We have changed the soil and
location in the greenhouse, but as yet
have been unable to find out what
causes this condition. We have one
bench of these plants on which the foli-
age is almost white.

M. F. C— Colo.

The fact that a whole bench is af-
fected in the same way would go to
show that some soil condition is the
cause of this trouble. Probably the soil
is too sour. Without knowing just what
your compost is, it is hard to give an
opinion. A compost of well decayed,
fibrous loam, two-thirds, and equal parts
of leaf -mold, not too much decayed, and
well rotted manure, with a little sand
added, makes an ideal mixture for
Primula obconica. If your plants are
heavily rooted and perhaps starved, try
weak doses of nitrate of soda or Clay's
fertilizer in water, at intervals of a
week. C. W.

A Philadelphia florist was injured
when a wagon in which he was riding
was struck by a street car. He sued
the street railway company and was
awarded judgment for his physical in-
jury, etc., but appealed to the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, claiming that
the trial judge committed error in his
rulings on the injured man's right *o
recover damages for loss of time from
his business, on account of the accident.
The Supreme court affirmed the action
of t6e lower court, saying:

"The plaintiff was a florist and the
major portion of his business was
wholesale; it was conducted on a range
covering ten acres of ground, with 5,650
square feet under glass and more than
1,000 square feet of coldframes. His
annual expenses amounted to about
$2,500, and before the accident he em-
ployed one man to assist him. After-
wards he kept this man, and also placed
his minor son at work in the business,
which continued under the plain-
tiff's general supervision. He esti-
mated the personal labor performed by
himself before the accident at $480 per
annum, and testified that since his in-
juries he performed probably twenty
per cent of his prior work, giving in
detail just what kind of work he had
done and now was able to do.

The Plaintiff's Argument.

"The plaintiff offered to prove his
receipts and expenditures 'covering the
period of years immediately anterior
to his injury * * ♦ and for the
years subsequent thereto, in order to
show decreased earning power.' This
was accompanied by a further offer to
show that the plaintiff leased the prem-
ises occupied by him in his business;
that he had no capital invested other
than the money required to purchase
seeds, etc., 'which he matured * * *
and sold by his own labor, with the
assistance of a hired employee,' and
that he had no other business or occu-
pation. These offers were refused. He
then offered to show, by qualified wit-
nesses who 'knew Mr. Blank's busi-
ness,' that 'the work performed' by
him in connection therewith was worth
between $1,500 and $2,000 per year.
This also was refused.

"It will be observed that the origi-
nal offer was not to contrast a defined
period of time before the accident with
one of like duration thereafter, and
that there was no specific offer to prove
that the alleged decrease in the earn-
ings of the plaintiff's business was due
exclusively to his impaired physical
condition. Furthermore, there was no
contention that the plaintiff was so en-
feebled that he was entirely unable to
work in or superintend his business,
or that it had come to a stop. On the
contrary, it appears that, while the
plaintiff was in a bad nervous condi-
tion, he was otherwise physically fit,
and that the business remained a run-
ning concern. On this state of facts

the trial judge instructed the jury as
follows:

Other Factors Besides Labor.

" 'A man's business which goes on
after he is hurt may have success or it
may have disaster for other reasons
than the accident. If he has a range,
no matter if it is a small range, in
which he raises flowers, it involves the
buying of stock, and it involves the
question of freeze-out in winter and
blight and other things which some-
times make a season disastrous, al-
though otherwise it would look promis-
ing. A man's labor enters into that
business as well as his stock, and the
fact that in one year he has a good
year and in another year he has a bad
year may be the result partly of bad
business conditions and partly of condi-
tions affecting his health. It is impos-
sible to split them, and the law wisely
says that we cannot consider the results
to the man's business, if it is a busi-
ness that goes on and if it is a busi-
ness in which he could employ some-
body else to do his work. In my view
of the case, owing to the fact that Mr..
Blank carried on his business until to-
day, and could employ help to do what
he could not do himself, the cost of the
help would be something which could
be considered, and not what was the
effect ultimately upon his business as
shown by yearly statements.

No Additional Expense Caused.
" 'As I say, I struck out that evi-

dence, and therefore the only thing you
could consider would be . what expense
he was put to in his business, if any.
There was evidefice that, for a time, if
not all the time, before the accident he
employed a man to help him, at a cost
of $50 per month, and he employed a
man to help him after the accident at
the same price. If the accident caused
no change in his business, he was not
put to the expense of the man as a re-
sult of the accident, and hence he lost
no money on that account.'

"In certain instances where one, as
the result of injuries received through
the negligence of another, had been en-
tirely deprived of the power to carry
on a business in which his personal
labor and superintendence were the
major assets, or where one had died as
the result of his injuries, and the evi-
dence showed regular sums given his
family which were earned in a business
that consisted principally of his labors
and management, we have permitted
evidence concerning the net earnings
of the injured or deceased person, on
the theory that it was the only way,
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, satisfactorily to show earning
power.

Profits Don't Fix Labor Value.

"But those were exceptional cases in
which we said that 'profits derived
from an investment or the management
of a business enterprise are not earn-
ings.' Therefore 'the profits of a busi-
ness with which one is connected can-
not be made use of as a measure of his
earning power. Such evidence may
tend to show the possession of businega
qualities, but it does not fix their
value.' Under the circumstances of
the case at bar, we see no error in the
rulings and instructions called to our
attention in the assignments just dis-
cussed. ' ' S.

THAT POT FAMINE.

I noticed an article in another trade
paper last week whicli states the pot
situation is causing men to be laid off
on account of a shortage of pots. There
is a shortage, but let's be fair and place
the blame where it belongs.

I know there are potteries enough
throughout the country, each well
equipped with sufficient kilns and ma-
chinery, to make pots in plenty if men
could be obtained to run them. There
has been, and is, many dollars' worth of
idle machinery because of labor scar-
city and on labor alone I place the
principal reason for the pot shortage.
The advance in wages has been met
each time and no doubt will have to be
met again soon. The total number of
pots used is no greater than in former
years, nor is the demand larger, but
long delayed shipments make it appear
so and one good reason for delay is
the freight embargoes placed upon the
eastern cities by the railroad companies.

The grower must understand that dur-
ing all last spring and summer the pot-

ter was fighting for him, while running
with depleted labor force, trying to get
the additional labor necessary to make
up the stock of pots needed for the
fall trade, and that he is still trying
hard to fill his fall orders and making
stock for the coming winter and spring
trade, hoping to have enough for all
when needed. As far as the Whilldin
Pottery Co. is concerned, we are now
working to full capacity and gradually
catching up with our fall orders. Our
trouble at present is the freight em-
bargo. J. G. Whilldin, Pres.

THE TRADE'S FAMILY SKELETON?

I have read with interest the articles
in your worthy paper about the injury
done the trade in general by the
"rotten" way the cut-rate flower shop
and department stores sell flowers. The
first question is always this: Who is to
blame? "Not me!" says the one;
"Not me!" says the other. It is the
overstocked market, most of them say.
That may be true, but, in my estima-
tion, this is not the only cause of the

trouble. Now, we florists, here in the
Twin Cities, might form a union and
get them all — growers, wholesalers, re-
tailers and so on — to join and make
every member take the pledge not to
sell to department stores, unless he can
.get the right prices.

Let me tell you, Mr. Editor, it
wouldn't do us a bit of good. There
are hundreds of growers in the country
towns who are too willing to ship car-
loads of stock any minute. The whole-
sale houses in other cities, when over-
stocked, will sell flowers at any price,
roses as well as rat-tails, as long as

there is money in sight. I do not want
to ventilate this most serious ^question
any farther. I just say this much: It
is a shame that roses must be sold at
prices as low as 15, 20 and 25 cents per
dozen. It is not the money we lose
every day, oh no! What bothers me
most is the cheap opinion the public,
especially the women of the less affluent
classes, have about flowers. They talk
about roses, carnations, mums and
other stock as if flowers were on a par
with weeds and as easy to grow as
weeds.
Twenty years ago rose growers grew

long-stemmed, first-class flowers and re-
ceived a good price for them. Today
seventy to eighty per cent of the stock
Is short-stemmed, weak-iecked, inferior
looking and it is this stock that the
department and cut-rate flower stores
do business with. These stores ruin
prices and make the people think noth-
ing more of flowers than they do of a
bushel of potatoes.

If every grower would make it a
principle to grow long-stemmed, good
flowers, all complaints about this dis-
loyal trade would vanish in air.

TESTING CANNAS IN TENNESSEE.

[This is the second of four articles containing
a record of the results of canna tests conducted
near Nashville, Tenn. The first article was pub-
lished In The Review of November 9. The re-
maining two articles will appear in early issues
of the paper.]

The first of this series of articles
treated of white and variegated cannas.
This article is devoted principally to
pink varieties, but closes with a refer-
ence to one canna that is excellent
when used as a foliage plant.

A few ye^es ago there were no good
pink cannas, and it was deemed almost
impossible tMt any would be produced.
Now there ^ no color that is better
represented'^'^y first-class varieties, and
they are ffecoming more and more
prominent .^jfery year.

Among the Pink Varieties.

Hungaria was one of the first really
high-class pink cannas, and many like
it the best of all even yet. We have
grown several thousand roots this year,
and can say that it is good in every
way. But it is not pure pink, beinjj
bordered and more or less mottled with
cream. No one can go wrong on this
variety.

Maid of Orleans is somewhat similar
to Hungaria in size and color, being a
purer pink where it is pink, but also
having more of the cream. It has one
point of superiority over Hungaria, and
in fact over almost all other green-
leaved cannas; namely, its matchless
foliage. It will become one of the most
popular of its color when generally
known.

The variety Mrs. Alfred Conard has
always appealed to us as the best pink
until this year. It is just as good as
it ever was, but its descendant, City
of Portland, beats it.

Excels Its Parent.

City of Portland was introduced this
year. We have grown 500 or 600 roots,
and unhesitatingly pronounce it the

best pink canna on the market today.
It has a solid color of a better shade of
pink than either Hungaria or its own
parent, Mrs. Alfred Conard. And it is
a stronger grower and a freer bloomer,
with better foliage than either.

Rosea gigantea continues to be the
best canna of its color, a deep rose-pink.
It cannot be said to be a pure pink, for
it is too nearly red, but it is a great
canna and will long be one of those
that give satisfaction to all buyers.

Arc-en-ciel, a new foreign variety, is
the only rival to Canna rosea gigantea,
which it most nearly resembles in color,
though it has a yellowish cast. This
would be a great canna were not C.
rosea gigantea better.

True to Their Indian Najnes.

In Pocahontas we have the perfection
of a large, free-flowered pink canna,
with an abundance of good bronze
foliage. This year it developed, along
with the pink, a delightful, tawny, In-
dian shade which it did not show last
year. This adds greatly to its beauty.
When this is cheaper it will be one of
the best dozen commercial cannas, we
believe.

About the variety Wabash we would
repeat all that we said a year ago. It
is a bigger and better C. rosea gigantea,
on good bronze foliage. What more
could be asked for it?

]\Iinnehaha is a variety that appeals
to us strongly, having almost a white
ground, clouded and shaded with pink,
creamy copper and all of the shades
that we usually associate with Indian
coloring. It will never be a popular
bedder, even though it has excellent
bronze foliage, for the reason that it is
not "loud" enough, but to those who
grow flowers for their quiet beauty it
will fill a large place.

Yes, there are plenty more pinks, and
good ones, too — some so decidedly good
that they would be highly praised were
it not that those already mentioned are

the best, and there is not space enough
to tell of them all. We have a seedling
of our own that is hard to beat, but a
pink canna, to merit introduction at
this time, must be * ' some ' ' canna. An-
other year will tell whether ours is one
of that sort.

Effective as a Foliage Plant.

A second year with the canna named
Greenback only convinces us more
fully of its wonderful merits as a foli-
age plant. Where tropical effects are
desired, such as are usually sought by
the use of bananas, there is no other
plant we have ever seen that can com-
pare with it. The plant resembles a
banana so far as the leaves go, and it
produces four times as many of them.
The plant multiplies as rapiiliy as most
kinds and grows to a height of fully
eight feet, with good cultivation. We
have never had a bloom on it.

EFFECT ON FLORISTS.

Better Retail Prices.

There are evidences that the trend
of prices ia turning a little more in
favor of the average florist. The rise
in commodity prices throughout the
country has been so sharp that prac-
tically every florist has realized the ne-
cessity for asking the public to pay
more for plants and flowers. The re-
sult has been that there has come to
pass a considerable improvement in the
retail prices charged by florists. There
has been no skyrocketing, such as has
occurred in many other lines of busi-
ness, but there has been a general im-
provement. At least, there has been
an end to price-cutting.

In towns where it has been impossi-
ble to make any material increase in
prices because there was no leader, or
because not all would follow the leader,
it nevertheless has been realized that
this is not a season for trying to get
business regardless of the profit in it.
This has had an appreciable effect in
improving the state of the business
where, as Ralph M. Ward says, florists
are like cabbages, because they do not
do well when planted too close together.

The public has become so accustomed
to finding prices advanced that florists
actually have heard surprise expressed
that their prices were not higher.
There has been no trouble at all in
making moderate advances, and even
small advances have aggregated a suf-
ficient sum to make the retail end of
the business decidedly easier.

On the Bu3rlng Side.

On the buying side conditions also
are relaxing to at least a moderate de-
gree. The fear of pronounced scarcity
of merchandise in nearly all lines of
trade has subsided since the rush of
fall buying; there are few lines now
in which there is any fear of not be-
ing able to secure the goods. The pan-
icky conditions therefore have subsided.
Buyers cither have obtained a sufficient
holiday supply of the goods they wanted
or they have found an acceptable sub-
stitute, so they no longer are bidding
up prices on themselves.

These statements relate principally
to general linos of merchandise, but
the fact has the effect of making it
easier for the florist to buy and it has
a tendency to stop the rise in prices, if
it has not actually caused any worth-
while decline.

Florists never have found business
better than it is at present, considering
the season of the year, and the indica-
tions arc that this will be the largest
season in the history of the trade.
There is some shortage in certain lines
of plants on which the trade is more
or less dependent on imports from
Europe, but cut flower production has
struck its stride and there is no likeli-
hood of any scarcity for the balance of
this season. Also, plant propagators
never were busier and the spring sup-
ply of bedding stock will exceed any-
thing known before. The number of

places closed because of the scarcity of
fuel will not equal the additional pro-
ducing capacity resulting from the
erection of new greenhouses this season.
With prices on a more stable basis
the trade is in position to regard the
future with confidence.

EARLY-BUDDED PAPER WHITES.

Our Paper White narcissi were started
in the soil November 6. After showing
green two to four inches, they are
throwing buds. They have had a tem-
perature of 50 to 60 degrees at night
and as high as 70 degrees in the day-
time. Please tell us why they are show-
ing buds so early. Do you think they
will make plenty of foliage before the
blooms expand? V. F. C. — Tenn.

The bulbs referred to doubtless were
partly ripened after they were dug; this
would cause them to bloom earlier than
bulbs that were not dug until thorough-
ly ripe. They should produce fully as
good flowers and just as many of them
as any bulbs. A few degrees more heat
and a light shade, or either one of these
alone, will give more foliage. If they
are in flats and the benches are so piped
as to allow it, set them under the bench
for two or three days. I do not like
to give too much heat, as it may cause
the buds to spoil. Floyd Bralliar.

DEMURRAGE GOES UP.

PLANTING INDOOR SWEET PEAS.

I have a greenhouse 28^x90 and
eight feet high at the sides, running
north and south, in which I intend^o
grow sweet peas. "Which way woul^J
you advise planting the rows and how
many rows would you plant? It would
be most convenient to run them length-
wise of the house. I thought of plant-
ing six rows. What is the best method
of supporting the vines? Which do
you consider the best variety of tomato
for forcing? I want a variety that
will not require artificial pollination.

C. G.J.— N. Y.

While on some accounts we prefer to
run the rows of sweet peas across the
house, it is even more desirable that
the rows run north and south, and we
would adopt that course in the house
described, particularly if there are
other special reasons that apply. It is
advisable to have the rows four feet
apart, which would permit running six
rows in a house twenty-eight feet six
inches wide, and leave ample room for
wallfs along the walls and also through
the middle of the house, if desired.

The vines may be trained upon trel-
lises made by stretching medium-weight
"wool" twine horizontally lengthwise
of the house, with the strands six to
eight inches apart, the upper ones be-
ing farther apart than the lower ones.
The twine should be supported every
eight feet by ^-inch gas pipe or
wooden stakes, eight or nine feet high.
These stakes should be held in place
by running along the row a No. 12 gal-
vanized wire, to which the tops of the
stakes should be fastened, and two
other wires should be run farther down,
to stiffen the stakes and assist the twine
trellis in carrying the weight of the
vinos.

The Marvel is a good variety of to-
mato for greenhouse forcing, but, like
all other sorts, it will set more fruits
and they will be noticeably larger if
some attention is given to hand-pol-
linating. T.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The florists of Buffalo perhaps never
experienced a better Thanksgiving
trade than this year's. There was an
abundance of stock in nearly every
line. Beauties were of good quality and
the supply was just about equal to the
demand. Other roses, too," experienced
a good demand at good figures. All
chrysanthemums and pompons cleared
rapidly at good prices, regardless of
color. There were some reports of a
shortage of pompons, but even if it
were so, there was plenty of other
stock to fill the vacancy. The Chad-

wicks are the chief varieties in the
mum line today.

Although there was a heavy cut of
carnations, much more than many ex-
pected, these were soon sold out en-
tirely. Now that mums have dimin-
ished in supply, lilies have resumed
their former activity. The supply of
these is about normal.

There was a fair supply of orchids
and valley. Cypripediums were in de-
mand; also gardenias. The demand for
violets has picked up somewhat, in
both doubles and singles. Paper
Whites and stevias are more plentiful
daily. Calendulas continue about the
same and some extra nice snapdragons
reach the market occasionally. Sweet
peas as yet are few. Greens are quite
sufficient for all present demands and
Christmas greens are arriving in small
consignments.

Various Notes.

The William Scott Co. reports an
extra fine Thanksgiving business, far
superior to that of any previous year,
in actual figures.

Boettger, of Eggertsville, was married
to Edwin H. Evans, also of Eggerts-
ville, Thanksgiving evening.

Business with A. J. Reichert has been
satisfactory. From now until Christ-
mas the force will be on the go.

We no more than get through with
the Thanksgiving rush when we look
Christmas in the face. All predictions
are for a most prosperous Christmas
business.

The Market.

Stock in all lines is scarce, following
a satisfactory Thanksgiving day busi-
ness. December 1 to 3 it was impossi-
ble t6 get any quantity of flowers and
this same condition continued early in
the present week.

Everything sold well on the holiday
and prices were satisfactory from the
growers' standpoint. Valley was extra
high, at times bringing $8 per hundred
for stock that in the days before the
war would have been passed by at $4
per hundred. Violets sell well; the
Hudson river variety moves at $1.25
and $1.50 per hundred. The demand
for singles exceeded that for doubles.
The single violets have always been the
more popular here.

With the general shortage the prices
of roses jumped materially. Retailers
had difficulty in getting stock at $12
and $14 per hundred. The miniature
roses were almost unobtainable and or-
ders for quantities as small as fifty
could not be filled. Carnations sell
readily at $4 to $6 per hundred. Pap(r
Whites, the sale of which had been
dragging, sell readily at $4 per lundred.
The price of narcissi will take a heavy
drop, as the supply is rapidly increas-
ing. Stevia made its appearance last
week. There were not enough sweet
peas to go around, and the demand was
heavy, A considerable part of this dif-
ficulty was due to the fact that the
growers are troubled with buds drop-
ping. This is the first time this year
that all of the growers and wholesalers
have been compelled to turn down
orders.

Various Notes.

Among visitors last week were F. Sit-
terding, Jr., with Ratcliffe & Tanner,
Richmond, Va.; Roger W. Peterson, of
Cincinnati, O.; James Meiklejohn, repre-
senting W. A. Manda, South Orange, N.
J.; Joseph ,T. Goudy, representing H. A.
Dreer, Philadelphia; L. J. Seiger, repre-
senting the Robert Craig Co., Philadel-
phia.

Mrs. Nettie Supper, who for some time
has been in the employ of George C.
Shaffer, has returned to her old posi-
tion with the Gude Bros. Co.

William F. Gude was one of the
judges in the window display contest of
electrical week. All of the florists have
attractively decorated windows.

Among the merchants who announced
their intention of participating in the
electrical parade are a number of flo-
rists, but these will meet with difficulty
in decorating their machines because
of the shortage of stock. The members
of the trade are opposed to the use of
artificial flowers for any purpose and
rather than this they will withdraw
their entries. ' C. L. L.

VEGETABLES AND-
FRUITS DEPARTMENT

APHIS IN COIJ>FItAMES.

Please tell me how to control or de-
stroy green aphis on lettuce plants in
coldframes. We cannot fumigate the
frame. Would fluid nicotine be expen-
sive? How often should it be applied
and how strong should it be?

H. S— Mo.

Fumigation would be th^ most sim-
ple method of extermination. Since you
cannot fumigate, I would advise
against using any nicotine spray, owing
to its powerful properties. You could,
however, use a spray of kerosene emul-
sion— Ivory soap, one pound to five gal-
lons of water, slicing the soap finely
and dissolving it in boiling water be-
fore adding cold water; or one of the
other soap or soap and oil sprays.
These sprays would be likely to impart
some flavor to the lettuce leaves if ap-
plied a few days before the leaves are
used. C. W.

TOMATOES AND CUCUMBERS.

When should cucumbers and tomatoes
be planted to be ready for June 1 ripen-
ing of the tomatoes and cutting of the
cucumbers? How far apart should the
rows be and how far apart should the
plants be in the hows? As I am run-
ning my first greenhouse, this informa-
tion will be greatly appreciated.

A. E. S.— la.

Sow the tomatoes January 15 and the
cucumbers February 15. Tomatoes want
a dry atmosphere and 60 to 62 degrees
at night; cucumbers a moist atmosphere
and 62 to 65 degrees at night. Allow
tomatoes trained to single stems eight-
een inches of space and cucumbers
twenty-four to twenty-eight inches
apart in the rows. A house thirty feet
wide could have seven to eight rows of
cucumbers. Tomatoes, if trained erect
and not to wires, could go twenty-four
to thirty inches between the rows.
• C. W.

CUCUMBERS FOR FORCINa.

I am sending a sample of my cucum-
bers, which were planted in pots Sep-
tember 6. The soil consisted of one-
third well rotted cow manure and two-
thirds good loam. The temperature was
between 60 and 65 degrees, with little
ventilation. The vines are about three
feet high and are trained on wires, but
the cucumbers all seem to be about the
same as the one I am sending — short
and thick. Can you tell me the cause,
and do you think this is the variety
known as Turkey Long Green, as the
seed was supposed to be? What would
you advise as a good-bearing green cu-
cumber? Last season I was successful
in growing Arlington White Spine, but
the trade here seems to call for the all-
green cucumber. My house is 35x100
feet and there are eight rows of cu-
cumbers, with a space of two feet be-
tween the plants.

W. P. B.— Mass.

Your treatment for cucumbers has been
all rightj but the best of culture will
not Bad^eriall^ change the size and
length of cucumbers. Arlington White
Spine and improvements on it are the
best market varieties I know of. There
are several hybrids between the White
Spine and English-forcing varieties that
carry long fruit and bring fancy market
prices. C. W.

The Market.

The Thanksgiving business in general
was splendid. There was a robust call
for yellow mums, but the other colors
also shared in the honors of the day.
Pompons proved to be useful for table
decorations and roses, as ever, were the
favorites, running close to mums for
the lead.

Valley continues alarmingly scarce
and the price is almost out of reach.
Violets are more in evidence and ex-
perience a good market. At present the
leaders in the rdses are Ophelia, Amer-
ican Beauty, Killarney, Milady and
Richmond, which sell satisfactorily, at
reasonable prices. Easter lilies, which
are in heavy demand for wedding deco-
rations, remain in short supply. Nar- .
cissi are here and serve largely in fu-
neral pieces. Carnations are more

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS |

^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir

I am not acquainted with the cucum-
ber you forwarded. It is far too short
to be of any great commercial value.

"We put in a strenuous summer,"
said the late Thomas C. Joy, of the Joy
Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn., whom I
called on a few days before his sudden
death. "With our own men we rebuilt
ten houses, each 100 feet — Moninger
material. Advance Co. ventilating ma-
chinery, pecky cypress for benches and
concrete walls all around. A mixture
of eight parts cinders and one part ce-
ment makes firm and inexpensive con-
crete. We think our stock looks good,
considering the disturbing features."
The stock certainly did look well. Of
carnations, White Wonder appears to
have fully as much vitality as when
first sent out. It is the staple white.
Matchless is good, but not nearly so
free here. Philadelphia, Alice and En-
chantress Supreme are a trio of pink.
In reds Belle Washburn is first in color;
Nebraska first in floriferousness;
Aviator, above all for all points of
merit. Chrysanthemums lead with
Turner and Yellow Turner, a few only
being grown, for local exhibition use.
Odessa, a noble bloom, pale yellow, is
larger than Turner. Henry Smith, the
grower, has a sport, an incurved Chryso-
lora, that is most promising. About
sixty plants of this were grown this
season and it is as solid as Bonnaffon.
Roman Gold is considered the best me-
dium season yellow, followed by Yellow

Eaton and Chadwick, with Dolly Dimple
last, but not least. Golden Gleam, a
late introduction, is highly thought of.
Chieftain is grown for a quantity
flower. Wells' Late Pink and Mrs.
Seidewitz about complete the list. A
pure white Patty is promising, ^n pom-
pons Quinola heads the list. Disbud-
ding the side shoots makes a fine, bushy
head. White Doty is another excellent
variety. The pompons are grown under
sashes. Totty's Cap family are grown
as pot plants and sell as fast as sent
into the store. Roses are in perfect
health — Beauty, Richmond, Mrs. Rus-
sell, the Killarneys, Ophelia and Mrs.
Shawyer. The last-named is doing so
well that more will be planted next sea-
son, its greatest enemy, mildew, having
been conquered. Three varieties of
polyantha roses are grown for corsage
purposes. Among pot plants poinsettias
in pans, made up with nephrolepis, look
good for Christmas. There is a large
batch of cyclamens in pans, full of
vigor. The usually large assortment of
bulbous stock required for store sales is
good and is being rapidly handled.

Business is booming, is the report of
Manager W. H. Englehart, of the Idle-
wild Greenhouses, whose store is most
attractively arranged with a fine dis-
play of bulbs and cut flowers. W. M.

OBITUARY

Peter Anderson.

News of the death of Peter Anderson,
better known to the trade as "Jimmy"
Anderson, which took
place December 2 at
.his quarters in the
Stock Exchange hotel,
at Cottage Grove ave-
nue and Thirty-ninth
street, Chicago, was re-
ceived with sorrow by
his many friends in the
trade.

Mr. Anderson was
born in Sparta, Greece,
in 1879. While still a
, young man he left his
native country and
emigrated to America,
coming directly to Chi-
cago. Here he soon
entered the employ of
Peter Reinberg, with
whom he remained for
a good number of
years, leaving finally
to establish himself in
business as a commis-
sion florist, buying for his brother, M.
Anderson, Dayton, O.; James Lasky,
Unioutown, Pa., and various other
houses, besides his own store at Terre
Haute, Ind.

Jimmy Anderson was well beloved
by all who knew him. He was a man
of upright character and honest deal-
ing, upon whom any confidence could
readily be placed. His sound business
principles and pleasing personality as-
sured him of success in whatever he
undertook. His death was unexpected
and was due probably to an ulcerated
tooth which caused blood poisoning.
Burial took place December 6 from the
rooms of the Western Casket Co., to
Elmwood cemetery.

Mr. Anderson is survived by four
brothers, Michael, Harry, Emanuel and
James. He never married.

"W. E. Roberts.

W. E. Roberts, a member of the
Enid Floral Co., of Enid, Okla., formerly
of New York city, met death November
21 by drinking a mixture of nicotine
and Paris green, with which he in-
tended to spray the plants. It will be
recalled that Mr. Roberts joined A. D.
Zimmerman and J. Brand in a partner-
ship to operate the Enid Floral Co.
Mr. Roberts was in charge of the grow-
ing end of the business.

Fred Newell Strail.

The trade will receive with sorrow
news of the death of Fred Newell
Strail, who was for many years asso-
ciated with the florists' trade and whose
demise occurred November 30, at his
home at 4147 Gladys avenue, Chicago.

Mr. Strail worked at various times for
many of the leading retail florists in
Chicago, his last position in the trade
being with A. Lange. He also operated
several stores of his own at different
intervals. He was an excellent designer
and a first-class man in the retail store.
His never-failing good humor won for
him many friends and left him without
an ill-wisher on the Chicago market.
He was 57 years old.

NOTICE!

To Subscribers whose address labels carry an
expiration number higher than 995 (Dec. 21. 1916).

EVERY florist knows through his own purchases what has happened
in the paper market the last few months— prices have doubled all
along the line.

And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so kind ^s to write that The Review is-
worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the
tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to-
sell The Review at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1,
1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for one
or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1,
1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that
such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present
date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present
date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they
are mailed by December 31, 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.60 a year beginning January 1, 1917.C Can-
adian renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

The funeral took place December 3
at 2:30 p. m. from Central Masonic tem-
ple, 912 North "La Salle street, to Rose-
hill cemetery. Mr. Strail is survived by
his wife, Sarah A. Strail, and his broth-
er, Chester A. Strail. Mrs. Strail is the
daughter of W. D. Chandler, one of the
pioneer Chicago florists, and has been a
member of A. Lange 's forces since fail-
ing health compelled her husband to
give up his occupation in the trade.

Oliver Pherson.

Oliver Pherson, a member of the Wil-
liam Murphy Co., of Cincinnati, died
November 27. His death was sudden
and a shock to his many friends in the
trade.

John Baldinger.

John Baldinger, who had been em-
ployed in various stores at Pittsburgh,
Pa., for the last twenty-five years, died
December 1. He had been ill for some
time and his death was expected. Mr.
Baldinger was a most genial character,
so oven-tempered that those who knew
him best and worked with him never
saw him angry. The funeral was held
Monday, December 4, from the residence
of his sister. Besides his mother, he
leaves two sisters and several brothers.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The Thanksgiving weather was most
favorable. Vanderbilt and Sewanee
universities fought out their usual bat-
tle on the gridiron before thousands of
people, who waved yellow and white
chrysanthemums. This annual event

cleans up more mums every year in thi»
city than any other happening. There
had been a good demand for mums since
the season started, and this, coupled
with a small production this year, meant
that there were not more than two-
thirds as many mums in the city three
days before Thanksgiving as there were
last year. When it was over most of
the growers were able to say that they
had no mums go to the dump this sea-
son. True, there now are a few needed
to meet the demand; it has been years
since mums were so completely cleaned'
up at this date. '

Business was as good as anyone ex-
pected, which meant that it was much
better than in most years. Yet no one
had any record-breaking rush. There
were plenty of good roses and they sold
out closely. Carnations were also plen-
tiful and sold well.

Most of the azaleas have been re-
ceived, but many of them are in bad
condition and have dropped their buds.
Good valley pips are coming in from
Holland; perhaps they grew there. The
counter trade in Dutch bulbs has not
been so good this year as usual, but
much of the business comes late in this
city, as late-planted bulbs do best.

Various Notes.

Haury & Sons are ottering a fine line
of pot mums at present. They have
made a specialty of these for several
years. Their roses are good, as usual.

The Joy Floral Co. sold its mums out
closely for Thanksgiving.

Geny Bros, made a fine showing for
the Thanksgiving trade. Their roses
were as good as their mums, and sold
as well. F. B.

Results bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

The messenger boy is the motor's
only competitor in the delivery of flow-
ers. The horse is long since out of it.

This is a good season for the intro-
ducers of novelties, but someone should
wake up the man who expects the buyers
to elbow each other at his counter. It
takes a lot of noise to attract attention
even to the best of things in these busy
times.

Ruscus in the natural, imported from
Italy for dyeing, is on the short side this
year, but those who hold quantities of it
say the higher prices, which are only
about ten or twelve per cent above those
of last year, represent only the higher
ocean freights they had to pay this sea-
eon.

There are so many named varieties of
pompon and so-called single mums on
the market that no man knows their num-
ber, but the testimony of wholesale and
retail florists is that the list niiijht be re-
duced to a score without loss to their in-
terests. Not all the new sorts are an
acquisition marketwise.

Ix spite of the large number of fine
new pompons that have come on the mar-
ket in the last few years, there seems to
be no more popular market variety than
the bronze most commonly known as Mrs.
Beu. The Chrysanthemum Society of
America says this is correctly called
Frank Wilcox, having been introduced
under that name so many years ago that
its origin is shrouded in the mists of
antiquity.

In printing this issue of The Eeview
four and one-half tons of paper were
consumed. It is only a regular issue.
The Christmas Number comes next
week.

It seems quite possible that this season
bouquet green may be scarce and high
enough to keep it out of the grocery
stores and turn the trade back to the
florists, where it belongs.

Some people may not have considered
that the fluctuations in the price of steel
are of importance to florists, but steel
has become one of the principal mate-
rials used in a modern greenhouse — and
the rise in price now has reached 100 per
cent as compared with before the war.

VIEWED FROM APAB.

Beginning January 1 the subscription
price of The Review will be $1.50 per
year, but prior to January 1 subscribers
have the privilege of renewing at the
old rate of $1 per year. The fact that
large numbers are taking advantage of
the opportunity to secure the paper at
the old price for several years is an
eloquent testimonial to the value of
The Eeview and at the same time it is
an assurance that the circulation of the
paper in 1917, instead of declining on
an increase in rate, actually will in-
crease. This is a sample of the letters
that come:

In sending my check for five years' subscrip-
tion to The Review, I "want to say it •will be
worth a hundred times this much to me.- — D. H.
Green, Boonsboro, Md., November 28, 1916.

With the readers holding such a
view, is it any wonder that the adver-
tisers get good results? (Like this:

Kindly discontinue our advertisement In The
Review, as the results have far exceeded our
expectations this year. — Jones, The Holly
Wreath Man, Milton, Del., November 28, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

RAISING THE RETAIL PRICES.

If florists who sell to the public do
not raise their retail prices they are
extremely short-sighted. In the first
place, everything the florist buys, with
the possible exception of cut flowers,
has gone up in price and the florist must
keep pace or lose his profit. In the
second place, the increases in price have
been so general that the public has be-
come accustomed to it and the man
whose prices are not advanced actually
is regarded with suspicion; either he has
reduced the quality of his merchandise
or else he was overcharging under the
old conditions.

The retail florist who makes a reason-
able advance in his prices finds it actu-
ally is easier to sell at the new prices
than at the old ones. It is a general
experience in the business world that it
has been so easy to sell goods since
established price ranges wore destroyed
in retail channels that everybody en-
gaged in trade is astonished that they
ever allowed such habits to become part
of their existence. It has been the
common experience of sellers that sales
have come easier since the circle of
prices began to swing into higher
ranges. Nothing save a study of human
nature itself can explain the phenom-
enon. The average man whose wages
are raised will at once buy the thing he
wants or thinks he wants, and his wife
and children will do the same. That is
where the human equation comes in.

Once a man is convinced that his wages
are higher than they have ever been he
ceases to balk at the habits of a life-
time, whereby he paid so much for a
shirt and no more, so much for his shoes
and not a cent over it and so much and
no more for the dozen carnations he
takes home of a Saturday night.

LOCK UP THE POISON.

In reporting several cases of acci-'
dental poisoning from drinking nicotine
extract by mistake, The Eeview has
cautioned its readers to keep the insec-
ticide under lock and key. This week's
issue contains an obituary note with
regard to an employee who drank nico-
tine with, the coroner said, suicidal in-
tent. Probably no amount of caution
will put an end to these occurrences,
but a greater degree of caution will re-
duce their number.

LOSSES ARE DISTRESSING.

Although the autumn has been
marked by unusually mild weather, its
very mildness appears to have been the
undoing of the azalea importers, as the
one cold snap which swept over the
country about three weeks ago seems
to have caused widespread loss. Al-
most every importer of azaleas who had
shipments on the rail at that time re-
ports more or less damage by frost. In
many instances shipments ordered made
in refrigerator cars appear to have
been forwarded from New York in ordi-
nary box cars, with the result that
plants in cases placed near openings
were frosted, while those in cases not
so exposed escaped. Under the circum-
stances there is no uniform proportion
of loss, the unpacking of practically
every case being necessary to deter-
mine the condition of the plants in it.

Last year, also, the losses on im-
ported plants were heavy and a se-
rious condition has been created. The
consignee cannot break even if he
shoulders the loss and no more can the
shipper, while the insurance companies
in Holland withdrew from the field
after last year's experience.

A more dependable system of han-
dling plant imports is necessary for the
extension of the business if, indeed, not
for its existence.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was this year, by
general consent, the best the Chicago
wholesale flower market has ever en-
joyed. Large quantities of stock were
disposed of and, although prices were
not so good as some might have wished,
a fair price for stock was nevertheless
obtained. After the shipping orders
were out there was no decline, as buy-
ing continued right up until closing time
Thursday, by which hour every house
in the market was practically cleaned
out. Not a yellow mum could one find
anywhere and only a few white and
pink mums were left. All other stock
also cleared well. It was evident that
many retailers had underestimated the
magnitude of the business which was
in store for them, for many who had
boon down early to do their buying were
back on the market again Thursday
morning. That the retailers as a whole
cleaned out their stock well is further
proved by the fact that city buying
December 1 and 2 was heavy. Indeed,

retail reports from all quarters cor-
roborate this statement, while some re-
tailers even come with tales of having
disposed of every flower they had in
stock and having to turn away many
good orders because of inability to fill
the customers' demands. The bright,
brisk weather which obtained Novem-
ber 30, also played a big part in dis-
posing of poorer quality stock, which
was eagerly sought after by smaller
buyers.

On the whole business has held up
well this week, with December 1 and 2
standing out the strongest. The gen-
eral supply is just ample to meet the
demand and prices are holding up well.
Eoses, however, are on the short side of
the market, with a strong demand which
it is at times difficult to meet. Carna-
tions arrive in good supply and arc
clearing well at moderate prices. Chrys-
anthemums and pompons, being largely

Thanksgiving and pre-Thanksgiving
flowers, are rapidly disappearing and
it is probable that by the end of the
week only a few will be seen on the
market.

Lilies are beginning to move again,
now that the season for mums is past.
The supply is ample ti meet the demand,
which as yet is not very large. Violets
continue scarce and sell readily. Sweet
peas also are in short supply and are
selling at good prices. As pompons dis-
appear, calendulas begin to accelerate.
Paper Whites are plentiful; the demand
is only moderate and low prices obtain.
Stevia begins to move faster at im-
proved prices. Snapdragons arrive in
small supply and clear easily at good
prices.

market, but for that showing the last
week of the month is to be thanked.
There was no great cause for congratu-
lation over the record for tne first three
weeks of November. From the time the
California chrysanthemums began com-
ing in until the chrysanthemum season
began to wane, prices were extremely
low. This was true not only of chrys-
anthemums but of roses and carnations.
While crops were large, prices were so
low that the total of sales did not com-

the rather good November last year.
Thanksgiving usually comes on the
fourth Thursday in November; this year
it was the fifth Thursday. Mums
usually are pretty nearly at the end of
their season when the fourth Thursday
arrives. This year the heaviest demand
was a week after the usual grand finale.
This was especially important because
many country buyers who usually use
home-grown stock for Thanksgiving
were compelled to order from Chicago.
Also Thanksgiving eve was marked by
a number of specially large coming-out
parties that served to clear up a large
quantity of the highest grade stock.
The result was that the last week of
November this year was far ahead of
the last week of November last year
and gave the month as a whole an ex-
cellent showing.

Ziskas Will Move.

The first of a number of moves which
promise to take place as a result of the
change of quarters which the E. C. Am-
ling Co. will make shortly, is that of
Joseph Ziska & Sons, who last week
signed a long term lease for the entire
second story of the Durand building, at
169 to 175 North Wabash avenue, just
above the new Amling quarters.

The new location will be a decided
improvement in every way over the
quarters in the basement at 151-153
North Wabash avenue now occupied by
the firm, giving them a greatly in-
creased floor space, better light and im-
proved facilities for carrying on their
rapidly increasing wire design and flo-
rists' supply business. The lease runs
from January 1.

agent, to bring to Chicago mainly those
ffowers which are not grown here, but
which are grown in quantity in the
fields of southiern California. Mr. Kita-
sawa will be assisted in his work by
Louis Ancolora.

November was a month highly favor-
able to the growers, except in the case
of those who were trying to hold back
chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving. The
temperature averaged 4 degrees per day
above normal and there was fifty-three
per cent of the possible duration of sun-
shine, against forty-seven per cent as
normal for the month.

One of the season's new stores is the
Bruce Flower Shop, opened a few weeks
ago at 6906 Stony Island avenue. Fitted
up in the style typical of stores in the
outlying business districts, a good show
is presented to passers-by and business
has been satisfactory.

Morton Grove dedicated a new bridge
November 28, Mrs. A. F. Poehlmann,
wife of the president of the village
board, breaking a bottle of champagne
at the proper juncturq. The exercises
were followed by a celebration at the
Wayside Inn, Peter Reinberg, president
of the county board; A. F. Poehlmann,
A. H. Poehlmann, George Harrer and
August Geweke being the members of
the trade among those present.

That this will be one of the best
Christmases in the history of the Chi-
cago market is the belief of John
Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co. Mr.
Michelsen believes that the conditions
through the country tributary to Chi-
cago, both as to demand and supply,
are specially favorable to Chicago this
season, and that the largest shipping
trade ever known will center here.

Frank Oechslin has thirty-one cases
of azaleas on the way from New York.
Three carloads have arrived and have
opened up in condition that affords Mr.
Oechslin much satisfaction in view of
what he hears of other shipments. He
figures it may be possible to make some
money on azaleas this season.

"It is

care to see that the service really is
what the buyers want, but after careful
development a mail-order business is the
steadiest and most permanent patronage
any house can have," he said.

Perhaps there is no showier show
house in Chicago than that recently
built at the front of John A. Michal's

is like staging one 's display in the

long and P. C. Schupp says it is well
liked, both at store and greenhouses.
The flower is fine, but in the east,
where Lady Alice Stanley has had a
more extensive trial, it has been found
to flower so slowly that it can not be
sold at the same price as other roses.

At Niles Center John Prochazka is
starting his first season with a crop of
cut flowers and potted plants, with ex-
cellent prospects for the Christmas sea-
son. He has two houses 40x250, one
house 29x120, material furnished by
the John C. Moninger Co., and erected
by M. Winandy & Son.

John P. Degnan, of Winterson's Seed
Store, comments on the steadily in-
creasing popularity of the Christmas
trees of table and basket size. He an-
ticipates there will be another increase
in the sales this year, not only because
of general conditions but because the
stock, judging by early shipments, is.
better than usual this season.

Alex. Henderson, president of the
Florists' Club, will celebrate his forty-
first birthday anniversary December 9.

The fishpond in the m^del store of
H. N. Bruns attracts almost as much
attention as the flowers.

If you listen to Fred Nelson he will
tell you why the George Wittbold Co.,
with its new store, has the finest loca-
tion in town. "To the east is on« of
the richest sections in town, with ajjart-
ments that rent for $200 to $500 per
month," he says, "while to the west
is a business and middle-class section,
so we get both kinds of flower buyers
coming and going."

There are many visitors at the Union
Grove establishment of French & Salm
these days, attracted by what is said
to be the largest crop of Russell in the
history of that variety. They grow
only the one variety, 33,000 plants of
it, and though not all in full crop cut
20,000 flowers last week.

The Florists' Review

DeciSMBBB 7, 191U.

MeAdams, who was brought up in the
business and who is widely known in
Chicago. She is at present completing
a course in landscape architecture at
the University of Illinois.

This week 's obituary column contains
notices of the deaths of two well known
Chicagoans.

A. Miller has returned from another
of his trips among bulb forcers. He
says he finds a large number of usually
prosperous florists are not sharing in the
good times we read about in the daily
papers. Many, he says, failed to realize
their usual income during the summer,
due to weather conditions, and now are
forced to meet greatly increased ex-
pense because of the extremely high
price of coal. Mr. Miller fears it will
be a lean year for many florists.

A. T. Pyfer & Co. have a special man
in Michigan who is making selections of
winterberries for them.

Fred Longren is in Chicago. He ex-
pects to remain until after the first of
the year.

The Leslie Floral Co., which recently
opened a store at 6 East Monroe street,
reports that business is even better than
they had looked for. Among the novel-
ties handled by the company are ankle
bouquets, of which several have been
sold.

According to A. T. Pyfer, Pyfer &
Olsem, Wilmette, 111., will have a nice
lot of cyclamens, begonias j^nd jcherries
for Christmas this year and are looking
forward to a fine business.

Weiland & Risch have a large batch,
of poinsettias in their Evanston green-
houses this season, in unusually good
condition.

Visitors.

C. G. Pahud, of Indianapolis, made
the rounds of the market early this
week, sizing up the sources of supply
and placing orders for Christmas
novelties.

Mrs. Lord, of Lord 's Flower Room,
Topeka, Kan., has been in the market
this week, buying Christmas stock. She
says conditions never were better in
her city and she looks for banner busi-
ness.

Edward Amerpohl, of .Janesville,
spent December 4 in the market on one
of his periodical buying expeditions.

The presence of the following visitors
was noted last week : Robt. Karlstrom,
representing A. N. Pierson, Inc., Crom-
well, Conn.; Mrs. A. C. Rott, Joliet, 111.;
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Washburn, Blooming-
ton, 111.; Mrs. .1. A. Rovatzos, Minne-
apolis, Minn.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Last week surely was a busy one for
growers, wholesalers and retailers. From
all reports, the Thanksgiving day trade
was better than for some years. The
weather was ideal and much transient
trade was done. The market was well
supplied with all seasonable flowers and
prices were within reach of all. There
was a scarcity of violets, however, and
these weVe in big demand. Stock
cleaned up nicely, especially the fancy
mums, for which there was a good de-
mand. Nagoya, the Eatons and Seide-
witz sold well at top prices. Bonnaf-
fons, too, cleaned' up nicely. In roses
Russell and Ophelia had a big call and
good prices were obtained for the fancy
grades. Extra faney Beauties cleared

Prof. H. C. Irish, president of the
Missouri State Horticultural Society,
left December 4 for Kansas City to
attend the fifty-ninth annual meeting
of the society, which was held at the
Coates House, December 5 to 7. There
was an exhibit of fruits and flowers.
Alexander Lurie, of the Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden, who accompanied Mr.
Irish, gave a lecture on tree surgery.

The annual Shaw banquet was held
December 1 at the University Club
rooms, Grand and Washington avenues.
Professor White, head of the school of
botany at Cornell University, was the
principal speaker of the evening. The
officers of the St. Louis Florists' Club
and the twenty-two chairmen of the
comriiittees of the spring flower show
were present. Dr. George T. Moore pre-
sided over the meeting and the affair
was a most pleasant one.

The meeting of the St. Louis Florists '
Club will be held December 14, at the

retary Windier says that special no-
tices will be sent to members and a
large attendance is looked for.

Paul Ahner and his father, A. G.
Ahner, the Kirkwood florists, are send-
ing in a fine cut of extra fancy En-
chantress and White Enchantress car-
nations. These are consigned to the
St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co.

The florists' dance was scheduled to
be held at Westminster hall December
6. This dance was in the bands of the
younger folks and from the way tickets
sold the attendance was bound to be
large.

The west end florists say that Thanks-
giving business was large. In the down-

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

They now are preparing for a big
Christmas rush — only three weeks off.
The south end and north end florists
say that Thanksgiving trade was much
better this year than. last year.

Business has exceeded the expecta-
tions of the St. Louis Wholesale Cut
Flower Co. A second automobile de-
livery car was installed last week. The
company's motto is, "Service 365 days
in the year."

William H. Kruse, the Arsenal street
florist, says he put in a busy week fur-
nishing stock for several big weddings
and club decorations.

Alex. Lurie, horticulturist at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, is busily occu-
pied delivering lectures. He recently
spoke before the railroad branch of
the Y. M. C. A. on "Flowers for the
Home," and on "Winter Protection of
Plants" before the Association of Col-
legiate Alumni of St. Louis.

The Bourdet Floral Co., as usual, will
bave a grand lot of Christmas plants
for the local trade. The big range at
Tower Grove and Magnolia avenues is
ablaze witTi extra fine stock in this
line.

Martin Eeukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer

LA FAYETTE, IND.

The chrysanthemum show at Purdue
University was held at the university
greenhouses and attracted considerable
attention from the townspeople. About
3,500 visited the greenhouses on the
last day of the show.

The chrysanthemum exhibit consisted
of a large collection of standard varie-
ties, singles and pompons. A fine lot
of William Turner grown in the bench
and also in pots seemed of especial in-
terest to the visitors. Most of these
blooms were over two feet in circumfer-
ence. Tape lines were fastened aroxind
some of the largest blossoms to satisfy
the spectators' desire to know "just
how large that flower is."

Other features of the exhibit which
attracted favorable comment were an
attractive display of baskets of flowers

PHILADELPHIA.

The Iifarket.

The first seven days of the social sea-
son, including Thanksgiving day and
the early days of December, have
brought changes in the cut flower mar-
ket. Chrysanthemums have virtually
closed their season, a season that was
better at the end than at any other pe-
riod. The Thanksgiving demand cleared
nearly all that were left, which were
not a great many. Now Jeanne Nonin,
a few Eaton, Chadwick, Mistletoe,
Crane and some pompons are all that are
left. The list sounds well, but there is
not much to it.

The absence of the chrysanthemums
and the short crops of roses have left
a void in the market that makes the de-
mand rather ahead of the supply of
choice stock. Prices have not advanced
much, but they are firmer, with a likeli-
hood of soon going higher. 8o far
Thanksgiving marked the high tide,
which receded slightly afterward. There
is a little more valley about and de-
cidedly more orchids and gardenias.
Easter lilies are in demand, while Paper
Whites and stevia meet with favor.
Sweet peas are getting more plentiful;
they show a vast difference in quality.
The low-price peas do not compare with
the fancy orchid-flowered peas. The
shipping demand is active, showing un-
mistakably that many sellers now are
becoming buyers.

Harry Bates, J. M. Brown, G. G. Ed-
mundson and Charles Niemann were
elected members. Bartley J. Doyle,
vice-president of the World's Sales-
manship Congress, delivered a telling
address. He urged the broadening in-
fluence of organizations, proposing that
each member must contribute some
ideas in order to get the most benefit
from such associations.

The Florex Gardens, of North Wales,
exhibited a handsome vase of Rose Sep-

Prima Donna, which they will send out
next spring. Montague C. Wright, who
has made such a wonderful success of

the Lord & Burnham Co. Philadelphia

The Chrysantliemum Season.

Exception has been taken to the note
that appeared in this column last week
to the effect that William K. Harris con-
sidered the chrysanthemum season just
closed the best in seven years, Phil
had previously published his own con-
clusions on this point. These were
gathered from many sources and were,
in brief, that the season had been an
uncommonly bad one, particularly so
during the first three weeks of jTovem-
ber. Mr. Harris differed from this view

Christmas Plants.

The importance of Christmas plants
to the retail florist lies in their being
there, so to speak. The price is known,
the stock is seen, there is no uncer-
tainty about it. The plant growers
have been making greater efforts each
year to meet the growing demand for
stock suitable for Christmas — showy,
colored flowering plants; hardy, grace-
ful foliage plants; both in specimen
and in combination. To afford Review
readers an opportunity of knowing
what is being done today the following
notes have been carefully gathered this
week:

The Bobert Oralg Co.

The company has grown at Norwood
and Forty-ninth and Market streets a
stock of Christmas plants that is re-
markable. The poinsettias entirely fill
a 300-foot house. The plants, both for
quantity and for quality, rank high. The
bracts are large, perfect and richly col-
ored; the foliage is all there. Many of
them are made up in large pans that
present a shapely appearance. The cyc-
lamens are probably the best the com-
pany has ever grown. They run through
all the standard sizes. The brighter
colors are gradually displacing those
most in vogue a few years ago. Their
cleanliDeBS is an added attraction. A

new addition to the begonias is Mrs.
Peterson, a bright pink with extremely
dark foliage that affords a striking con-
trast. Lorraine and Lonsdale are good;
so, too, is Konkurent, the improved Cin-
cinnati, which is believed to be more
durable. The combination boxes so suc-
cessful last season have been improved
upon this year. They are filled with a
charming assortment of colored foliage
plants and ferns.

The crotons, always the feature of
Norwood, are highly colored and in all
sizes. They show advance in that the
popular varieties are grown in increas-
ing numbers. The dracsenas are in fine
form and show that bright coloring so
much desired at Christmas. Areca lutes-
cens in specimen sizes occupies more
than one large house; it is going out
rapidly. The ferns are well grown and
show that particular attention has
been given to the basket as well as to
the specimen sizes. Oranges, ficus and
pandanus add richness to the assort-
ment.

Qodfrey Aschmann.

Mr. Aschmann 's place looks well. It
is noteworthy for the close attention
given to the preparation of the medium
sizes of foliage and flowering plants. It
is evident that the aim is to offer those
varieties of plants most wanted at
Christmas, in the sizes most used.
Araucarias, kentias, ferns, rubbers are
here in great numbers; poinsettias, be-

I gonias, cyclamens, too. The flowering
specialties of the place are the azaleas
—some are forced for Christmas— and
the lovely little primroses. Begonia
lummosa probably is considered far less
important that its elegant sister, Lor-
raine. It is a charming plant that is
particularly well done here.

Henry I, Faust.

This able grower's place at Merion
will make its mark this year in the pro-
duction of Christmas plants. A house
of poinsettias made up with Pteris Vie-
torisB is highly creditable; flower and
foliage evidence culture at a glance.
Two houses of cyclamens in several
sizes comprise 4,000 plants. The plants
are beautifully finished, testifying to
that skillful watering for which Mr.
Faust is noted.

Teddy^ Jr., considered the best of the
Bostons, is the fern specialty. For its
benefit the old term "pedestal-grown"
is revived, as indicative of superiority
due to increased space.

Aschmann Bros.

Azalea Vervseneana and Azalea Mme
Petrick are forced at the Aschmann
Bros, place in numbers for Christmas.
Despite the war, the plants have ar-
nved from Belgium and promise well.
The poinsettias are a joy. Made up
with green, they present a most attrac-

tive appearance. Lorraine laegonia is
grown in good style for specimens; Be-
gonia magnifiea for smaller plants.
Cyclamens have become an important
factor on the place. They are grown
in quantity, nicely grown in a good as-
sortment of colors.

There is a great quantity of pretty
primroses. The ferns are an important
product of the place. From the glorious
11-inch tub specimens down to the little
thumb-pot ferns for ferneries, all are
well done. Perhaps one of the most un-
usual sizes is the 4-inch that affords ma-
terial between the fernery size and the
6-inch. These 4-inch plants of Cyrto-
mium Rochfordianum, the holly plants,
Pteris Wilsonii and so forth are ex-
tremely nice. There are araucarias,
palms and so forth to make up a good
assortment.

Various Notes.

The American Rose Society commit-
tee held an enthusiastic meeting at the
S. S. Pennock;Meehan Co. store on the
afternoon of December 5. The First
Regiment armory was engaged for the
week of March 20, for a rfintal of $1,000.
There will be no trades' display. All
the large floor space will be devoted to
the exhibitors of plants and flowers.

Paul Berkowitz was taken ill while
away from home last week and was
obliged to return to this city. Mr. Ber-
kowitz is improving, though still con-
fined to the house.

Fred Dettrick, of Wyomissing, gave
a turkey dinner and motor ride to some
of his friends December 3. The party
visited Charles Dudman, of Llanerch;
Peter J. Vervaecke, of Media; William
A. Leonard, of Lansdowne, and others.
Mr. Dettrick showed some fine yellow
and white narcissi, potted poinsettias,
stevia, snaps and calendulas. Mr. Leon-
ard's roses look promising, as do Mr.
Dudman 's carnations.

Frank R. Hastings had a handsome
Thanksgiving day wedding that taxed
his energies beyond the limits of the
8-hour law. A pleasant incident, which
means so much to all of us, was the ap-
preciation of the people for whom the
work was done.

In previous years Thanksgiving day
usually has been cold and the ground
covered with snow. But this year it
was an ideal Indian summer day; not a
plant was wrapped for delivery. Flow-
ers were everywhere. No family gath-
ering was complete without them; foot-
V)all enthusiasts bought liberally; the
great dining halls were elaborately
decorated; the leading retailers had
large orders for out-of-town of boxes
of mums, roses, violets and orchids.
There was little left unsold the night
before Thanksgiving. Most of the
wholesalers remained open until after
midnight. Prices were held firmly, but
were not unreasonable, though the vol-
ume of receipts from the growers was
not so large as anticipated.

figure. Violets also have had a brief
season of triumph, thanks to Yale and
a general return of their popularity.

Since Thanksgiving carnations have
been selling at from $2 to $4 per hun-
dred. November 29 and 30 an effort
to fix the top price at $6 met with se-
rious objections from the professional
buyers, and the drop was sudden and
decisive..

G. E. M. Stumpp's headquarters at
Fifty-eighth street and Fifth avenue
are an education for any of the younger
generation of retail florists who desire
to advance in the higher achievements
of the art. Innumerable novelties for
Christmas crowd the big store and
basement, the result of continuous im-
portations. Brother florists are always
welcomed and Mr. Stumpp gladly gives
them the benefit of his experience.

lets had a gooil run. Carnations are im-
proving considerably. The demand for
them is strong and the prices good.
There was a strong call for red carna-
tions, with only a light supply of this
color. Russell at present is the best
and most popular rose. The supply of
Paper Whites and stevias has increased
materially and the stock is clearing
well. All green goods are scarce.

Various Notes.

W. J. Barnes had the largest Thanks-
giving trade in his career. He sold a
large quantity of cut stock, but a good
number of chrysanthemum and begonia
plants also were sold.

The Peterson Floral Co. had the deco-
rations for the new Mid-Center theater.
The store reports business good during
the entire fall.

Samuel Murray reports Thanksgiving
trade excellent. He sold heavily of
Lorraine begonias.

'A. F. Barbe disposed of all his mums.
He cut more than 5,000 carnations last
week.

Arthur Newell reports the business
thirty per cent better than that of last
Thanksgiving. Eaton and Chadwick
mums were his best sellers.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a
heavy Thanksgiving day trade. Basket
and corsage work was surprisingly good.

The George M. Kellogg P^ower &
Plant Co. reports business up to expec-
tations. The stock in the greenhouses
is improving steadily.

Fred Fromholdt reports that, for a
beginner in business, trade was far bet-
ter than he expected. He sold out com-

est business the company ever did at
Thanksgiving.

T. J. Noll & Co. report the business
doubled over that of last year at
Thanksgiving. More than 8,000 yellow
Bonnaffons were sold. The store was
empty early in the day.

Henry Kusik & Co. moved more than
14,000 mums for the Thanksgiving
trade. Orders for wirework are be-
coming heavier again.

C. H. Hartman says that the nursery
business has been heavy this fall. He
complains of lack of room in which to
do all the business.

Visitors last week were P. M. Koontz,
of the McGregor Bros. Co., Sprinfield,
O., and William P. Ward, of the D. Hill
Nursery Co., Dundee, HI. W. J. B.

DAVENPOET, B. ISLAND, MOLINE.

The Markets.

The Thanksgiving trade was about
up to the average of the same day of
other years. Chrysanthemums were the
principal sellers, with an increasing de-
mand for pompons and singles. Roses,
with the exception of Killarney, were
in rather short supply. Violets are not
so plentiful as formerly. Sweet peas,
antirrhinums and Paper Whites are to
be had. The sale of carnations is in-
creasing and the supply is good. The
demand for potted plants ij| not large,
but is on the advance.

Various NQtes.

William J. Westphall, one of Daven-
port's old-time and well known florists,
passed away November 29, at the home
of his sister. The decedent and Mrs.
Westphall celebrated their sixtieth wed-
ding anniversary a few weeks ago. For
many years Mr, Westphall operated
greenhouses on North Brady street and
had a store in the downtown district.
He retired from the florists' business in
1902.

Mr. and Mrs. William Knees, Jr., who
recently returned from a wedding trip
to Nebraska, were treated to a surprise
by the members of the Tri-City Florists '
Club Monday, November 26. The club
members called on the couple in a body
at the cozy bungalow in Moline and
presented them with a handsome electric
lamp. Lunch was served and a pleasant
time enjoyed by all. W. G.

Greenford, O. — A. disastrous fire
which apparently originated in the
heating plant last week almost entirely
destroyed the range of Frank Knauf,
whose establishment is located north
of this place. The loss is estimated at
$5,000. No insurance was carried and
it is doubtful whether Mr. Knauf will
rebuild. / - j

Although flovi'ers are a luxury and
prices of foodstuffs and manufactured
products are soaring high, there is an
extremely large demand for cut flowers
and potted plants, and the average re-
ceipts greatly surpass those of any pre-
vious year. The weather has been fair
and all that could be wished to bring
along the cut for the first holiday. The
supply of roses was heavy, but the de-
mand kept the market cleaned up every
day. There was a shortage felt in

ket and meets with a good demand.
The cuts of rubrum and Easter lilies
are about over. Freesia Purity and
Paper White narcissi are coming along
fast and meet with a good demand,
with the prices good. Violets and
Cecils Brunner roses of good quality ar-
rive in fair quantities. Orchids and
valley are inadequate to meet the re-
quirements.

Potted plants were good sellers for
Thanksgiving, with the exception of
t'.hrysanthemums, -which did not move
quite so well this year, especially the
pompons. Cyclamens, primroses, be-
gonias, Boston and Whitmani ferns,
Sprengeri and plumosus moved well at
good prices.

Various Notes.

Coal this year became a serious ques-
tion with the growers. The mines could
not get cars enough to send the coal
along and it looked as though several
of the growers would freeze.

The new range of glass of the Miller
Floral Co., at Farmington, is a big help
to the trade this season.

Bert Gray, of the B. C. Morris Floral
Co., is expected to report for work next
week, after an illness of several months
from typhoid fever.

George K. Uno, of the Willes-Horne
Co. says that business has improved
since election. Thanksgiving brought
a fine demand for the more expensive
plants and flowers.

The Miller Floral Co. is moving into
its fine new office building. The building
is a story and one-half high and built
of red brick laid with black mortar.
The interior is finished in birch, with
maple floors. Manager Eobert Miller
reports an increase in business of
thirty-three and one-third per cent over
that of a year ago and that the stock
is in splendid condition for Christmas.

The Huddart Floral Co. reports busi-
ness better than ever before, especially

E. A. Lambourne says he had the
largest Thanksgiving business in his
experience.

Miss Clara Henderson is managing
the flower department of the Keith
O'Brien Co. and reports business as be-
ing good.

Harry B. Garyon has opened two
flower stores, one at 72 East First South
street and another with the Druehl &
Franken Drug Co., corner of Second
South and Main streets.

The Salt Lake Floral Co. is produc-
ing some fine orchids.

The Weber Floral Co., of Ogden, has
opened a flower department in the Mc-
Bride Drug Co. store, 463 Washington
avenue.

Miss Elisabetli Huth, proprietress of
the Flower Shop, Eccles building,
Ogdcn, reports business as being excep-
tionally good. O. F.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Business for Thanksgiving proved to
be exceptionally good, far ahead of
what had been expected. Nearly all
kinds of flowers sold well and the mar-
ket experienced one of the best clean-
ups it has had for a long time. Rosea
were off crop with nearly everyone and
sold out easily. The beat Beauties
made $50 per hundred, a few specials
making 60 cents. Hybrid tea roses sold
all the way from ,$2 to $20 per hundred,
some fancy stock realizing a little more.
Carnations did not move so well as had
been expected, $3 to $4 being the aver-
age rate, with some fancies making a
little more. Chrysanthemums made a
considerable advance and cleaned up
well. Violets averaged $1 per hundred.
All other flowers cleared nicclv. Cat-

Since Thanksgiving business has been
<r()()d and prices are holding well up to
the holiday figures. Roses are in a
strong position, as flowers on 9-inch
stems have made as much as .$0 per
hundred. All growers are in short crop
and there is considerable scurrying
around on the part of buyers to secure
sufficient blooms of Ophelia, Hadley,
Kussell, Miller and other favorites,
p^verything sells quickly, no matter how-
short the stems. Carnations clean up

The pot plant trade has been good. In-
cluded now are Euphorbia jacquinise-
flora, poinsettias, Otaheite oranges and
practically the full line of Christmas
plants. Dealers in evergreens, wreaths,
etc., are busy and report an unprece-
dented demand.

Various Notes.

Newman S. Wax, father of Martin
and Samuel Wax, of Wax Bros., one of
Boston's pioneer florists, and now 87
years of age, underwent an operation
at the City hospital November 25. I am
pleased to report that he is convalesc-
ing nicely. Wax Bros, report an ex-
ceptionally strong Thanksgiving de-
mand, practically all flowers selling
well.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold a field day at Framingham,
Mass., December 16, to inspect the es-
tablishments of S. J. Goddard and other
noted growers. Framingham field days
always attract a big attendance, carna-
tions being well grown there.

J. Seaver, of Framingham Junction,
is coming to the front with his carna-
tions this season. It would be hard to
find better Pink Delight, Alice, Match-
less, Beacon and Fenn than he has.

Because Thanksgiving fell on the reg-
ular day for the contests between the
bowling league teams, no match was
played last week. The next meeting of
the league teams is December 7.

F. J. Dolansky still is cutting some
good Cattleya labiata and C. Percival-
iana. All cattleyas now are realizing
fancy prices and the scarcity for Christ-
mas promises to be quite acute.

November gave us a precipitation far
below the normal. The total fall was
1.52 inches, of which half fell on

The pot plant trade has been good. In-
cluded now are Euphorbia jacquinise-
flora, poinsettias, Otaheite oranges and
practically the full line of Christmas
plants. Dealers in evergreens, wreaths,
etc., are busy and report an unprece-
dented demand.

Various Notes.

Newman S. Wax, father of Martin
and Samuel Wax, of Wax Bros., one of
Boston's pioneer florists, and now 87
years of age, underwent an operation
at the City hospital November 25. I am
pleased to report that he is convalesc-
ing nicely. Wax Bros, report an ex-
ceptionally strong Thanksgiving de-
mand, practically all flowers selling
well.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold a field day at Framingham,
Mass., December 16, to inspect the es-
tablishments of S. J. Goddard and other
noted growers. Framingham field days
always attract a big attendance, carna-
tions being well grown there.

J. Seaver, of Framingham .Junction,
is coming to the front with his carna-
tions this season. It would be hard to
find better Pink Delight, Alice, Match-
less, Beacon and Fenn than he has.

Because Thanksgiving fell on the reg-
ular day for the contests between the
bowling league teams, no match was
played last week. The next meeting of
the league teams is December 7.

F. .T. Dolansky still is cutting some
good Cattleya labiata and C. Percival-
iana. All cattleyas now are realizing
fancy prices and the scarcity for Christ-
mas promises to be quite acute.

November gave us a precipitation far
below the normal. The total fall was
1.52 inches, of which half fell on

The Market.

Business was uncommonly good last
week. Comparing the Thanksgiving
trade with that of former years, we find
a steady and satisfactory increase. It
was an unusually busy holiday and the
volume of sales exceeded the expecta-
tions of most tradesmen. Tlie stock was
well u{) to its good standard and was
jdentiful along most lines. The business
brouglit advanced prices ou nearly all
kinds of cut flowers. The greater bulk
of the chrysanthemums was cleared sat-
isfactorily, but some growers will
have sufficient blooms to last until
Christmas, f^'ine Eaton, Golden Wed-
ding, Patty, Enguehard and Bonnaflfon
mums were the best sellers. These va-
rieties always prove the best keepers.

Carnations are arriving in good quan-
tities; the blooms and stems are im-
])roving nicely. Red varieties are being
held back for Christmas. 8weet peas
are reaching us in small shipments and

sell well. Violets are in splendid condi-
tion and move easily. Orchids a*nd gar-
denias sell well. Valley is fine, but the
advanced price undoubtedly will dimin-
ish the sale of it. The shipments of
roses are not so heavy as heretofore,
but the quality is good. Montrose and
Ophelia are popular favorites. Bou-
vardia and stevia are found useful at
this time and sell well. Paper Whites
move easily. Pompons have slackened
up considerably and only a few remain
on the market. Easter and calla lilies
arrive slowly, and clear quickly in fu-
neral pieces. Eoman hyacinths and
tulips have made their appearance and
sell well. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Edwin C. Armbrust has left on

Charles Lee, of Barnard, N. Y., has
been cutting a large quantity of Bon-
naffon mums. His carnation house is

C. E. Chesmore, of Chesmore-Eastlake
Merc. Co., St. Joseph, Mo., was in Chi-
cago last week.

Wm. C. Rickards, of J. M. Thorburn
& Co., New York, was in Chicago De-
cember 1 and 2.

W. P. Stubbs, of Wood, Stubbs &
Co., Louisville, Ky., was in Chicago the
first part of the week.

C. E. KiMBERLiN, of the Kimberlin
Seed Co., Santa Clara, Cal., was in Chi-
cago November 30 and December 1.

H. A. BuNYARD, New York, has closed
the "Up-town Seed Store" and taken
desk room at 42 West Twenty-eighth
street.

The Ohio state canners' convention
will be held at Columbus, December 12
and 13. Several seed houses will be rep-
resented.

The first general seed catalogue is over-
due ; ordinarily The Eeview receives it in
the first week of December and almost
always from Columbus, O.

On this week's boat from Copenhagen
Loewith, Larson & Co. had 111 bags of
turnip seed and there were numerous
other smaller shipments of Danish vege-
table seeds.

D. V. BuRRELL, Colorado seed grower
of many vears ' standing, is entering the
mail order field. He has begun adver-
tising his catalogue in magazines of gen-
eral circulation.

The Indiana State Canners' conven-
tion was, according to A. H. Smith, of
the Leonard Seed Co., an exceptionally
successful and optimistic meeting, more
business of all kinds being done than
there has been seen at similar previous
conventions for several years.

The government of the Netherlands in
late November added a number of vari-
eties of vegetable seeds to the list which
may not be exported. Embargoes gradu-
allv are shutting off such seed supplies as
are not interrupted by the blockade, so
America seems likely to be forced to be-
come practically self-reliant.

According to E. S. Leonard, of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, indications
are that prices of onion sets will be
higher next year than this, due to the
fact that farmers are obliged to ask more
because of the higher cost of labor, etc.
It is also becoming more difficult to ob-
tain acreage for onion sets.

Indications are that Michigan and
French-grown radish seed is going to be
one of the scarcest articles in the way of
small garden seeds, and that higher prices
will therefore obtain. Recent reports
state that the French crops were almost a
complete failure, while the Michigan crop
is light. There are gardeners and other
critical buyers who have thought they
could not use any other radish seed.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has
made a new house rule against the use of
beer or other intoxicating drinks by its
employees during business hours. The
company believes that its employees can
find a better use for their money and
furthermore that they will be more capa-

they pleaded guilty in the Federal court
December 4 and were sentenced by
Judge Anderson to serve eighteen
months in prison. The Indianapolis
Star gives the following report:

"James A. Everitt, 68 years old, pub-
lisher of a farm magazine and organ-
izer and former president of the Amer-
ican Society of Equity, and his son,
Sibley F. Everitt, treasurer of the pub-
lishing company, were sentenced to
serve eighteen months each in the fed-
eral prison at Atlanta, Ga. Both men
live in Indianapolis. They pleaded
guilty to a charge of using the mails
in furthering a scheme to defraud.

"The specific charge was publishing
a misleading advertisement in their
farm magazine in which they pretended
to offer free seeds upon application.
Persons who answered the advertise-
ment were informed they would have
to remit a dollar for subscription to
the magazine. Later statements were
mailed to these persons, to show they
owed the Everitt company for the seeds.
Later still another letter, ostensibly
from an adjustment company, was
mailed, in which was contained a veiled
threat of filing a law suit unless the
money was paid.

"Both defendants admitted the ad-
justment company did not exist, except
as represented by themselves. They
also said they made a mistake in print-
ing the advertisement, but asserted they
had made adequate restitution. More
than 10,000 persons were enrolled as
subscribers through this scheme, they
testified, and the amount collected
through that medium was estimated at
$5,000. In imposing sentence, Judge

Anderson gave both men a severe re-
buke, declaring the scheme to be one
of the meanest attempts at fraud he
had ever encountered. He said it was
worse than a fake foot race or a green
goods swindle, in that the promoters
were men of professed intelligence who
were attempting to instruct the farmers
of the country as to the best methods
of marketing their crops."

He has written seed catalogues for
years and has been in close touch with
sources of supply. The present article
is said to be "the first published ac-
count of the history of seed growing;
it is the result of the first systematic
attempt to trace the interesting, even
romantic progress of mankind in a
little-known field." Mr. Kruhm asserts
that the center of the seed trade haa

extent of the seed-growing industry in
various localities.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The McVay Seed Co., of Birmingham,
reports a big increase in counter trade.
The summer floods hurt country sales
generally, but fall planting is brisk.

Otto Schwill & Co., the Tucker-Mosby
Seed Co. and the Ullathorne Seed Co.,
all of Memphis, Tenn., report a good
general business up and down the river.

The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., of St.
Louis, Mo., reports a big southern busi-
ness. E. Corneli has been sick for some
time, but now is improving rapidly.

The St. Louis Seed Co. is having ex-
cellent business. Bulbs are fine and
selling well. Sweet pea seeds for win-
ter sowing are in good demand, says
Manager August Hummert.

The Schisler & Kaercher Seed Co., of
St. Louis, states that this is the best
season for heavy seeds in its experi-
ence.

The Diggs & Beadles Co., of Eich-
mond, Va., mentions the fact that prac-
tically twelve crops are now moving
and that truckers were never better
pleased with returns. So the sale of
seed for next season should be large.

T. W. Wood & Sons, of Richmond,
never passed through a busier or more
perplexing season. It taxed all their
resources, is the opinion of Manager
Thomas Whittet. • W. M.

December 7, 1916.

I

Pacific Coast Department

I

Bend, Ore. — M. Keeney has suc-
ceeded M. G. Coe in the greenhouse
business established here by Mr. Coe
a number of years ago.

Sacramento, Cal. — A wholesale and
retail florists' business has been
launched at Brighton under the name
of Brighton Floral Co., with Charles
Eeese as manager.

Dayton, Wash. — A. J, Pugh has pur-
chased a greenhouse here and says that
some day he hopes to receive his
master's degree in both the fine art of
growing flowers and the shrewd game
of selling flowers.

San Bernardino, CaL — Growers of
Biverside, Eedlands and San Bernar-
dino participated non-competitively in
the flower show recently held here.
Among the exhibitors were Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Pease, of 836 D street; F. P.
Hosp, of Riverside; William Collett,
City Nurseries, of Eedlands; Mrs. A. L.
Hurtt, 425 Third street, and the Kavan
Nurseries.

Corvallis, Ore. — G. F. Moznette, as-
sistant entomologist of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College and Experiment Sta-
tion, is investigating the cyclamen mite,
both as regards its distribution and
remedial measures. He states that on
the Pacific coast the pest is unusually
prevalent this year and that he doubts
whether fifty per cent of the growers
will have their usual success with their
holiday crops.

EELWOBM DISEASE.

The occurrence and spread of the
bulb and stem infesting nematode or
eelworm (Tylenchus dipsaci), which has
been recently found producing a serious
disease of clover in Oregon, should re-
ceive general attention, especially in
the northwest. Since it was discovered
in hyacinth bulbs at Bellingham in
1913, it has been observed each succes-
sive year, causing damage to straw-
berries, onions or clover in other locali-
ties of the Pacific northwest. It causes
the greatest damage, perhaps, to the
hyacinth and other bulbous crops of
Holland. Many plants of less economic
importance have also been found to be
attacked in foreign countries. Some
of these are: Forget-me-not, phlox, prim-
rose, buttercup and daisy. Unfortu-
nately, it has been recently introduced
into the United States and appears well
established in some localities of the Pa-
cific northwest, where conditions seem
favorable for its reproduction and
spread. Every effort should be made
not only to prevent its further intro-
duction into this country, but also to
stop its spreading from those localities
already infested.

If a small piece of leaf or other in-
fested tissue be carefully torn to pieces
by means of pins or needles in a dish
containing a few drops of clean water,
many of the white, thread-like, adult
eelworms, about one-fiftieth of an inch
long, can be seen with the naked eye
actively moving about in the liquid.

The pest can be transported in many
ways. It was probably introduced into
the United States in imported bulbs,

tubers or plants, or along with ship-
ments of other material which may har-
bor the parasite. Seeds are even strong-
ly suspected of being the means where-
by the parasite is most commonly dis-
tributed. It can be carried from field
to field by irrigation or surface water,
in soil which clings to the feet of man
or other animals, to implements, and to
the roots of plants, and in garbage,
manure or waste matter of any kind
containing parts of diseased tissue.

Various means of controlling the pest
ha.ve been tried, but the most satisfac-
tory as well as the most practicable
method consists in the proper system of
crop rotation in combination with sani-
tary measures. By planting infested
fields for two or, better still, three
successive years to crops which are im-

mune or resistant to the nematode, the
pest will be starved out to such an ex-
tent that little infestation will occur
on a susceptible crop planted the fol-
lowing year. To make the rotation ef-
fective, it is highly important that all
weeds or other plants which might har^
bor the parasite be scrupulously elim-
inated. For this reason, it is advisable
to plant the immune crops in rows, so
that clean cultivation may be practiced.
The following plants, most or all of
which are adapted to the Pacific north-
west, have not been reported as subject
to the nematodes and are, therefore,
suggested as rotation crops: Corn, cow-
peas, soy beans, millets, tomatoes, as-
paragus, cabbage, lettuce, cantaloupes
and celery.

gone off crop. The dry weather has
been against the violets and these, too,
have been scarcer than usual at this
time of year. Greenhouse-grown car-
nations have been fairly plentiful, but
the demand has been far above the
supply. Many growers have contracted
their crops in advance at good prices,
and this class of stock is likely to be
scarce for some time to come. Out-
door carnations are a mixed lot, much
inferior stock as well as good stock
being seen.

Mums are practically over, but a few
pompons continue to arrive. Orchids
are about even with the demand and
there is no quotation on valley, the
few stems that arrive being snapped up
quickly. The Thanksgiving business in
town has been encouraging, while the
out-of-town shipments have reached a
higher plane than ever before. The de-
mand has been principally along the
line of better stock than usual, a lead
the wholesalers will do well to follow.
All kinds of greens and roping,
wreaths and similar stock have been in
large demand and bring good prices.
Inquiries for holiday goods are coming
in freely and everything points to a
season of big business.

Various Notes.

F. Howard, H. W. Turner and
L. Shearer made a flying trip to San
Diego this week.

The H. N. Gage Co. sent in the first
daffodils of the season November 26 — a
small but perfect yellow trumpet. L. L.
Gage says the bulb stock looks uncom-
monly well this year, with the excep-
tion of Paper Whites, some of which
have failed to l)loom.

Polder Bros report business good and
say that their carnations soon will be
ready for shipping.

Fred Hills, of Hills' Nursery, has
"sold out" signs on some sizes of
Boston and other ferns, but these grow

quickly in the congenial air near Holly-
wood and soon will be plentiful again.

A. F. Borden says that the signs of
the times are good at the Kedondo
Floral Co. store. He says the new lo-
cation may have something to do with
the increased business, but there is a
healthy demand among the old custom-
ers and the management looks forward
to a banner season.

Every wholesaler in town has been
rushed with orders and reports a record
clean-up.

Shop, Santa Barbara, was among the

The Market.

The Thanksgiving market closed ex-
ceptionally strong, in both wholesale
and retail departments. There was not
an actual shortage of stock, though the
effect of the frost still was felt, but
the demand was far beyond the supply
and high prices prevailed in practi-
cally all lines. Holiday decorations and
social affairs kept the retailers on the
jump, and they literally had to get up
early to fill their requirements. Whole-
salers had great difficulty in filling or-
ders for distant shipment with the de-
sired promptness.

The large single mums are a little
scarce, but their popularity is waning.
Pompons, including many fine new va-
rieties, are clearing well at good prices,
many having gone east. Bush-grown
mums in the Chinese end of the market
continue to come in well, but the blooms
are fairly large and move well. Buyers
were competing for carnations, forc-
ing the price to $1 per bunch November
29. A few marigolds, daisies and cos-
mos sprays are still seen. Paper "Whites
and freesias are increasing in supply
and demand, and a few anemones have
appeared. The cut of roses is fair,
American Beauty being a little short.
High prices are fully warranted ' in
view of the strong shipping demand.

There is a splendid crop of violets,
cool showers having brought them to
their best, and they figure largely in
the shipments. There is a great move-
ment of red berries, which are plenti-
ful and seem to improve in quality
every year. Greens of all kinds, in-
cluding redwood, also are abundant. An
attractive new item in the stores is cut
poinsettias, from Los Angeles and lo-
cal growers. Cyclamens are as popular
as usual and some pot schizanthus are
appearing. The gardenia cut is coming
out nicely and the trade is eager for
these, as there are few orchids and prac-
tically no valley.

Various Notes.

A division has taken place in the per-
sonnel of the Western Evergreen Co.
Bert Filipelli, formerly president, and
S. P. Pedrini, who was associated with
him, have taken the store on Bush
street, just above the E. W. McLellan
Co., where they will handle all kinds
of greens, red berries, etc. They are
old hands in this line and are making
a good start. The Western Evergreen
Co. continues at its old location.

C. Kooyman has had a record Thanks-
giving business and is quite optimistic
for the holiday season. He has had a
nice cut of roses during the last few
weeks, but most of these have gone to
other markets.

The local shippers, who use large
quantities of old newspapers at this
season in their packing, are finding un-
usual difficulty in getting enough of
this material. As for regular wrap-
ping paper, everybody is in the same
boat.

The E. W. McLellan Co. now is cut-
ting about 10,000 baby roses daily.
Most of these are used in the shipping
trade, for which they also are supply-
ing large quantities of asparagus and
adiantum. The company reports the

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The volume of business during No-
vember exceeded that of November,
1915, by fifteen to thirty-five per cent,
according to reports at hand. The prof-
its to both growers and retailers must
show even a greater improvement, for
higher prices ruled and no stock was
wasted. The demand for Thanksgiving
was the greatest ever known; practi-
cally everything on hand was sold, both
in cut and potted stock. Excellent
weather brought people out and they
bought flowers generously. Carna-
tions sold for $1 per dozen and the
larger pompon mums, which were not
offered in bunches, also sold at $1. Yel-
low mums were most sought; Eaton,
Chadwick and Bonnaffon were the lead-
ing varieties.

There was more than a normal run
of funeral work during the week, with
a special rush on the day after Thanks-
giving. The fall drought held back the
work of the nurserymen, but was a
benefit to their stock, which is well
cured.

Various Notes.

L. C. Shearer, who recently sold his
interest in the Erie Greenhouses, has
bought from James Wilkinson a range
of houses at Gladstone. He intends to
grow pot plants and bedding stock.

A. F. Lalane has opened a flower
store at 311 Morrison street.

H. J. Millatt was laid up for over a
week with ptomaine poisoning. He has
recovered and is back at his work in the
store of Clarke Bros.

Rahn & Herbert have been cutting
some excellent Chadwick mums.

On calling at the establishment of
the Holden Floral Co., November 28,
the writer found Mr. Holden and his
entire crew occupied cutting and ship-
ping orders for Thanksgiving flowers,
principally mums. Every flower that
was ready to cut was sold and some or-
ders were only partially filled. Mr.
Holden took time to show his houses
of Christmas stock. A hurried look at
them was sufficient to verify the re-
ports that Mr. Holden has the finest be-
gonias— Cincinnati and Melior — and
poinsettias he ever grew. He has had
success with pink poinsettias, both in
pans and benched, and has grown a
short bench of white ones. He showed
me a trial lot of Autocrat mums, which
he thinks will prove a desirable variety
of mum.

Some benches of Maud Dean were
just about right for Christmas cutting.
In carnations he is growing Matchless,
Victory, Herald and Enchantress Su-
preme.

Julius A. Schnapp, formerly associ-
ated with Chicago florists and recently
with the store of the Hollywood Gar-
dens, Seattle, has taken a position in
the Clarke Bros, store.

Joseph Huserick, the wire worker, has
returned from a business trip to cities
in Montana, Idaho and eastern Wash-
ington. He said he was well pleased
with the results of his trip. Some of
the designs wanted were too large to
ship, so he made them up on the spot.

PERENNIALS FOR OUT FLOWERS.

Please inform me whether the follow-

they can be sold on the wholesale mar-
ket: Siberian Iris Snow Queen, Hem-
erocallis Thunbergii, Physostegia Vir-
ginica and P. Alba, Helianthus Maxi-
milianii, Eupatorium coelestinum, He-
lenium rubrum, any of the varieties of
Anemone Japonica, and Lupinus Moer-
heimii. Please suggest different varie-
ties of the foregoing if there are bet-
ter ones. E. M. C. — Mich.

Iris orientalis Snow Queen is a free-
flowering variety with long stems and
is splendid for cutting. While it will
grow in almost any soil, it is specially
vigorous when planted near water.
Hemerocallis Thunbergii is a fine peren-
nial. I have noted it displayed con-
siderably in retailers' windows. H.
flava, an early bloomer, is particularly
useful at Memorial day. Helianthus
Maximilianii would not, in my estima-
tion, be so good a commercial hardy
sunflower as H. mollis rigidus Miss Mel-
lish, or even orgyalis, although it keeps
well when cut, and ships well. Helenium

In the nursery trade the thing most
needed is a general decision to grow less
stock and have it of better quality.

The agents are turning in a surpris-
ing number of orders for ornamentals
from farmers; now that Dobbin has been
displaced by a flivver there is a dispo-
sition to plant something besides fruit
trees and this year there is plenty of
money.

C. O. Allen & Son, proprietors of the
Allendale Gardens, Delaware, O., pur-
chased the nursery stock of the Delaware
Nursery Co., after the company discon-
tinued its business. The business of the
Allendale Gardens will be confined prin-
cipally to the growing of ornamentals.

The question of raising prices is a
serious one in the nursery trade. Prac-
tically every item of cost that goes into
the production and distribution of nursery
stock has advanced sharply this year and
there has been no general counterbalanc-
ing rise in selling prices; indeed, many
items are quoted lower than ever before.

The first appeal under the Texas Nur-
sery Inspection Act has been made and
rejected and will result in litigation to
determine the validity of the law, particu-
larly with reference to the authority dele-
gated to state oflScials to destroy trees
and nursery stock infected with disease.
In the case in point a state inspector or-
dered some young fruit trees destroyed.
The owners appealed to the proper au-
thority, as provided by law, -without
avail. An injunction now is expected to
be sought by the owners to prevent the
state from destroying the trees.

DEALING WITH LANDSCAPE MEN.

[An extract from an address by "William
Kessler, landscape architect, delivered before the
Southern Nurserymen's Association.]

I presume that you will be interested
in hearing a few words spoken with
reference to the relation between the
nurseryman and the landscape archi-
tect, and how their relations may be
so shaped as to create the greatest
good fellowship and mutual profit.

I wish to impress upon you that while
we are both in the business for good
business reasons, we must not overlook
the fact that we are particularly con-
cerned in the improvement of the looks
of things in this world, and as we have
this responsibility resting on us, we
should use the opportunity to carry on
this work of improvement in the best
possible and most efficient manner. We
•will really be doing a good work and
adding to the attractiveness of the

not we manage to get rich at it.

Does Antagonism Exist?

I have heard it mentioned several
times that there exists a flavor of an-
tagonism between some nurserymen and
landscape architects, and I have en-
deavored to find out the reason for this
feeling, if it really exists, and a way
in which this antagonism may be over-
come.

I think that I am fairly well quali-
fied to express an opinion on the sub-
ject, as I have been engaged in both
occupations for a good number of years;
first I was in the nursery business with
the P. J. Berckman's Co. for about ten
years, later took up the practice of
landscape architecture for them and
myself, and still retain an active in-
terest in nursery work.

During the course of this experience,
T have come in contact with a great
number of nurserymen and landscape
architects and am quite familiar with
their different methods of doing busi-
ness with each other and their clients.

I cannot see why the relationship ex-
isting between the nurseryman and
landscape architect should be other
than strong and friendly and closer
than it has been, redounding to the
mutual benefit of all parties concerned.

I believe that with a little better un-
derstanding and regulation of business
transactions, such will come to pass.

Some Reasons Why.

The landscape architect has probably
put himself in a bad light with the
nurseryman by presuming that all nur-
serymen are generally unacquainted
with the principles of landscape design,
and know plants only for their indi-
vidual commercial beauty and worth,
also by their insistence that the nur-
seryman shall sell his products to their
clients at dealers' wholesale prices.

On the other hand, the nurseryman
has, in some instances, antagonized the
landscape architect by insinuating to

the latter 's client that there is nothing;
in the work of the landscape arcliitect
that cannot be undertaken by any good
horticulturist. While the landscape
architect may know how to draw inter-
esting pictures, he certainly does not
know all he ought to about plants,
where they will grow, etc., etc.

A Difference in Viewpoint.

The nature of the two occupations,
that of the landscape architect and
that of the nurseryman, are so different
in their chief aims that it is difficult
for a nurseryman to become a landscape
designer, and vice versa. I say this
advisedly, for I have had the experi-
ence of metamorphosing from one to
the other and know just how long and
how difficult it was for me to "lose tlie
viewpoint of the nurseryman.

The difference of viewpoint is this- —
the nurseryman is always striving to
produce, originate and sell plants of
exceptional novelty, peculiar individual
excellence and perfection of form and
growth. He therefore puts compara-
tively little worth in uncultivated, un-
improved natural varieties and forms.
He is always concentrating his atten-
tion on the imlividual plant and wishes
to display it to its best advantage in
its highest type of cultivation.

Where the Plant's the Thing.

This aim is so thoroughly inculcated
throughout his experience as a nursery-
man tliat it becomes a steadfast habit
with him; whenever he arranges plants
in public and private grounds it so
influences his work that the result is
generally the opposite of that which is

is that the whole planting arrangement,

WATERING EVEROBEENS.

Each spring many evergreens die,
especially broad-leaved ones. This is
due much less to winter's cold than to

dryness at the root. Evergreens, if
moist at the root, will stand a great
deal of cold. Those with dry feet,
even our own native varieties, will fre-
quently die. In many sections the rain
fall has been deficient for several
months, and losses in evergreens next
spring will be heavy unless the plants
arc well soaked now, before the ground
freezes up. This is particularly true
of rhododendrons, which should not re-
ceive their winter mulch of leaves iln-
less their roots have been well mois-
tened, and is true of all evergreens
planted within the last two or three
years.

sold well. Plants of chrysanthemums,
begonias, cyclamens, etc., were well
grown and sold readily. A number of

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Business during Thanksgiving week
continued good for all occasions in
which flowers were used. The weather
was fine — bright days and nights, with
the temperature in the twenties. Stock
in general was plentiful and of good
quality. Mums are in reduced supply,
as the main crop has passed. Eoses are
not any too plentiful, but carnations
are in better supply. Sweet peas, val-
ley and bouvardias are some of the
other flowers in lively demand. Among
the flowering plants Begonia luminosa
seems to be best. Potted mums are
about gone.

Various Notes.

Members of the Evansville Florists'
C!lub should remember the date of the
next meeting is December 13. The
meeting place is the greenhouses of
•Julius Niednagel & Sons.

C. L. Niednagel says his crop of roses
will be just about right for Christmas.

Julius Niednagel & Sons disposed of
their main crop of mums to good ad-
vantage, with no loss of blooms. Tfte
cut of carnations is good, with pros-
pects for a large cut at Christmas.
This concern has received a shipment
of good azaleas. The begonias and
primulas are fine; also bouvardias, for
|iOts and cutting. This concern has a
new Ford delivery car, the noiseless
kind, with the brass band left oflF.

Norwood Halbrooks is cutting some
fine long-stemmed sweet peas.

J. C. Elspermann is busily occupied
in getting in his bulb stock. His plants
are good, especially Begonia luminosa.

The Blackman Floral Co. is working
hpfore and after hours in order to got
out the orders.

Royston & Feuton report a good de-
mand for roses, smilax and greens.
They have a seedling coleus about a
year old which will be put on the mar-
ket next year if it continues doing well.
It is a fancy, large-leaved variety, me-
dium in height and bushy; good both as
a pot plant and for bedding. It has
about the same markings as Trailing
(Jueen, but with less green on the leaf.

chances with belated deliveries. The
express companies can procure neither
cars nor men to handle their shii)nients.

Thanksgiving trade at the retail
stores was splendid an<i tlie outlook for
December business is good. Cliivsanthe-
nmms are a thing of the past. Hoses,
carnations, narcissi and lilies are in
greater deman<l, but the prices remain
about the same. Chiysanthemnms were
plentiful for Thanksgiving and cleaned
uj) at good prices. Owing to some nn-
forttniate delay with the express compa-
nies, the violets intended for Thanks-
giving did not arrive until Wednesday
evening. This was too late to fill orders
and many buyers wei'e disa]>pointed.

Various Notes.

The death of .John Baldinger, which
occurred December 1, is recorded in the
obituary column. Clarke.

IMMEDIATE DELIVERY

11. We are now booking orders for our new seedling Superb, $12.(X) per 100,

$100.00 per 1000.

Superb is a sport of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Gloriosa
and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it keeps
its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full and
generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do not
split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial vari-
ety, barring none.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Business this Thanksgiving was con-
ceded to be the best ever enjoyed by
the local trade. Mums, of course, were
the favorites, but stock of all kinds
sold well. Roses, carnations and vio-
lets were in good demand. Prices in
general were a little high, but there
apparently was no difficulty in dispos-
ing of the goods. Funeral work at the
end of the' week cleaned up what little
stock there was left.

Various Notes.

Fred C. Covill is entirely satisfied
with his Thanksgiving business. He
had a tremendous quantity of stock and
cleaned up well, having only a few
white mums left.

Ernest Chamberlain had a satisfac-
tory week. His holiday business was
good and he cleaned up well at the end
of the week.

At the greenhouses of the Peckham
Floral Co. there was not a mum to be
had by Thanksgiving morning. Busi-
ness far exceeded the expectations of
the manager, George Reid.

William E. Mosher reports a good
Thanksgiving trade.

Edward M. Pierce had a fine lot of
Nagoya mums in for the holiday and
he found a ready market for them.
Pompons also sold well.

Frank L. Gray is back at work after
a week's illness.

.fulins, the Florist, reports a heavy
Thanksgiving business. He disposed
of a large stock of roses, mums and car-
nations. W. M. P.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

The Market.

Business Thanksgiving week was the
best ever experienced in this city, a
large number of weddings greatly ac-
celerating the activity. There was a
bigger shortage of chrysanthemums,
with the exception of pompons, than in
several years, and good stock command-
ed a premium. As it was, everybody
cleaned up everything he had.

Various Notes.

Ernest Carl, of Lowell avenue, is
sending in the first stevias, which are
exceptionally fine and in good demand.

Among the claims against the estate
of the late Dr. Mohr that have been
disallowed, were those of the Western

Thanksgiving Business.

Despite the heavy rain November 29
and Thanksgiving day, business was
good and even exceeded all expecta-
tions. Chrysanthemums, roses, carna-
tions and all other stock sold out, and
by the middle of the afternoon choice
stock was not available. Mums were
called for mostly and were sold at
$1.20 to $6 per dozen. The pleasing
thing, despite some of the high prices
on mums, was that no florist reported
any complaints with regard to the cost
of these fall beauties. Pompons in all
colors and hues, artistically arranged
in baskets and vases, took no little part
in increasing the sales for the day.
Eoses sold from $1 to $3 per dozen for
the regular grades, and the better roses,
including Beauties, went at $3 to $12
per dozen. Carnations brought from
60 cents to $1,50 per dozen; narcissi,
60 cents. The demand for orchids and
valley was surprising. Many artificial
wreaths for cemetery purposes were
disposed of.

Various Notes.

The Scottwood Greenhouse had
charge of an elaborate decoration for
the grand opening of the Willys-Over-
land salesrooms, December 1.

Harry Heinl, of West Toledo, is cut-
ting some good carnations and Ophelia
roses. Mr. Heinl can boast of some
excellent poinsettias in pans for
Christmas.

Cards have been issued announcing
the marriage of Henry Barrow, of John
Barrow & Sons, to Miss H. Mushbach.

Ealph Cushman, of the Cushman
Gladiolus Co., Sylvania, was married
last week.

Mrs. Ernest Glouser, wife of Ernest
Glouser, foreman at the Hinzel Bros,
greenhouses, was taken to St. Vincent's
hospital this week for an operation.

Schramm Bros, have some fine poin-

The Market.

Business opened well the first week
of December. Flowers are plentiful and
prices are reasonable. Chrysanthemums,
which have reigned supreme in the mar-
ket, are rapidly deteriorating. Fine
blooms are still coming in, but there
is an ever-increasing quantity of in-
ferior stock. Carnations, and later
sweet peas, now will play a more promi-
nent part. Good carnations have been
in the market for several weeks, but
there has been a comparatively small
demand for them, as everyone wanted
chrysanthemums. Sweet peas have not
been plentiful, but the few in the mar-
ket have not been in active demand.
Violets are in supply equal to the de-
mand. Roses are of good quality and
abundant. Totted begonias are seen in
considerable numbers. The bulb season
has nearly passed, but there still is a
sale for indoor planting.

Various Notes.

McLaughlin & Murphy report that
business has been good during the last
few weeks.

William Weismantel states that busi-
ness is about normal in his locality,
though there is not the life to it there
should be.

Good}) ear Wing foot Lawn Hose
ii made in the same factory and
under the same standards of ma-
terials and workmanship as Good-
year Tires, the largest selling
brand of tires in the world.

Here Is the Lawn
Hose for You

Here is a hose that will not burst and leak,
will not kink and twist, will not try your
patience to the breaking point.

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is made
of the finest material ever put into a lawn hose.
It is so constructed that it cannot tie itself up
into kinks. It will slip easily and smoothly
over lawn, flow^er-bed and gravel walk, with-
out catching and without damage.

And it is guaranteed not to burst within two
whole lawn hose seasons.

The day of the cheap, inferior hose is past. No
longer is it necessary for the florist to content himself
with a hose in constant need of replacement — a hose
that is a constant source of annoyance to him — a hose
that makes his work a drudgery and his day a specula-
tion as to what new place his hose will break out.

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose has changed all
this and it is now possible to get a hose that will meet
every requirement — a superior, serviceable hose with-
out a foot of disappointment in its entire length.

When you go to your dealer's be sure to ask for
Goodyear Wingfoot Hose if you want to feel freedom
from hose worry. Specify it by name. The name is
on every five-foot length.

Sreenhonse 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 Keview 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 huj,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

IF THE TRAP NEEDS REPAIRING.

Can you tell me what to do in case
the trap on my steam heating system
should happen to stop or be put out of
commission in auv way?

T. B. S.— la.

Just what can be done when a
steam trap fails to work, will depend
to some extent upon the construction
of the trap and the arrangement of the
heating system. It may be possible to
correct the difficulty so that the trap
will be at least fairly efficient. In
some traps there are valves which need
grinding, or stuffing boxes that require
packing, while in others some slight ad-
justment is all that is required. Some-
times increasing the steam pressure
will remove the trouble. In most cases
there should be a cheek A'alve upon the
drip pipes on both sides of the trap.

If the water level of the boiler is at
least three feet below the returns, the
water will return by gravity if low
pressure is carried. Provided the trap
cannot be made to work, it can be taken
out and either an injector or a steam or
electric pump substituted, unless a new
trap is procured.

FIRING CONNECTED BOILERS.

I am heating my range with an 80-
horsepower tubular boiler, using gas as
fuel. In extremely cold weather, how-
ever, there is not a sufficient pressure
of gas to keep up the necessary steam.
Attached to this boiler by main steam
and return lines, and set so the two
can be fired together, is a smaller 2-
flue boiler, of twenty liorsepowcr. This
smaller boiler is not connected with the
gas mains. I fear that firing one l)oiler
with coal and tlie other with gas will
produce too uneven results for connect-
ed boilers. What would be the best
way to handle the small boiler, in using
it as an aid to the larger one? I am

getting gas from a small well and

W. C. K.— Pa.

If the water level in the two boilers
is the same, we should not expect any
serious trouble if the pressure in the
large boiler does not exceed five pounds.
There sliould, of course, be check
valves in the return pipes near each of
the boilers.

BETTER USE FOUR FLOWS.

I intend to build another greenhouse,
28x125, with 6-foot side walls, con-
taining three feet of glass and three
feet of concrete. I have a cast-iron,
sectional, hot water boiler, with a grate
measurement of 28x32 inches. Will this
boiler be large enough to heat the house
to .'SO degrees in zero weather? I in-
tend to use three 214-inch flows, each
connected at the farther end witli four
2-inch returns. Would that system of
piping be amply sufficient to give the
desired temperature? E. F. C. — Pa.

we would consider that it will handle
1,500 to 1,600 square feet of radiation.
As not over 1,200 feet will be needed
ill the house described, this should
leave a safe margin.

The piping suggested affords all the
radiation required and is fairly well
balanced. While no more radiation is
required, the flows will be loaded to
their full capacity and we would pre-
fer to use four instead of three. We
would then expect better results with
ten returns than with twelve returns
and three flows. Valves should be
placed upon one or two pipes in each
coil, so that they can be cut out in
mild weather.

The Market.

The demand for cut flowers at
Thanksgiving fell short of expectations.
Various causes have been assigned for
this disappointment, but it is generally
believed that the weather conditions
were too unfavorable. It was exceed-
ingly warm and balmy. Advertising
was not nearly so extensive this year as
last, and this is another cause given for
the decrease in the demand. The foot-
ball game Thanksgiving day helped
matters somewhat and the call for cor-
sages was good. Wedding work was
lively and there was a small demand
for funeral designs. Prices held up
well, however, chrysanthemums bring-
ing $3, $4, $5 and $6 per dozen. Pom-
pons, and the singles retailed at $1.50
and $2 per dozen. Many local grow-
ers held back their chrysanthemum crop,
the varieties being Dolly Dimple, Wil-
liam Turner, Chadwick, Eaton, Bonnaf-
fon, Golden Wedding and Wells' Late
Pink.

still a few mums left, but the demand
is light. The local florists are taking
advantage of this lull in trade to pre-
pare for the Christmas rush.

Various Notes.

December 2 the Fort Wayne Florists'
Club held its regular meeting at the
store rooms of A. J. Lanternier & Co.
Miss E. A. Doswell, president of the
club, presided. The report of the No-
vember flower show was read and after
the business of the meeting a general
discussion was held on the subject of
the Christmas rush and how to handle it.
There will be no regular January meet-
ing of the club, but a banquet will be
held January 5 in the ballroom of the
Anthony hotel, to which all the mem-
bers of the club are invited.

The Flick Floral Co. had the decora-
tions for the Hogan-Olds wedding
Thanksgiving day. Southern smilax was
used in large quantities; also chrysan-
themums and roses. White orchids and
valley formed the bride's bouquet and
Ophelia roses were carried by the maids.

F. G. Nelson, of Burlington Willow
Ware Shops, Burlington, la., was a re-
cent visitor. R. F.

The Market.

Trade during the last few weeks has
been steadily on the increase, and the
business done Thanksgiving was far in
excess of that of last year. Stock has
been plentiful, and has moved well, with
the exception of carnations, but now
that the mum season is over the grow-
ers and retailers think the demand for
these will begin to pick up.

Azaleas that were due to arrive hero
about October 15 came in about Novem-
ber 20 and were in poor condition; in
fact, some of them were so poor that
they were refused. Some of the plants
heated on the road and others were
frozen; because of this and their late
arrival, the prospects of having any for
Christmas are slim. A few Mme.
Petrick plants are the only ones having
the slightest chance.

The coal situation in this vicinity is
becoming rather serious, as steam coal
can hardly be bought at any price.
Coal that formerly sold at $3.15 to
$3.25 per ton in carload lots now is
selling at $5 to $6.75. The mild, warm
weather that has prevailed for the last
few weeks has proved a boon to some
of the florists, as several of them had
only a small supply of coal on hand.
Other florists do not favor the warm
weather, as it is bringing on the
Christmas crops too quickly.

Various Notes.

Janousek Bros., out on Prospect hill,
are cutting some excellent sweet peas
that find- a ready sale. Their carnations
are good and prospects are that there
will be an excellent crop for the
holidays.

Lee Larmon, the Fontenelle hotel flo-
rist, had a pleasing window last week
that proved a good business-getter.

"While business was not so good up
to Thanksgiving this year as last year,
we have no complaints to make," states
one of the proprietors of the Flower
Shop. "People are cutting down on
the high cost of living and are buying
only the necessities of life. Many con-
sider flowers too much of a luxury."

WHY TAKE A CHANCE?

what the temperature is in your greenhouses, nights
and during your absences, unless you have

Indianapolis florists were well satis-
fied with Thanksgiving business, as there
was an increase over last year's sales
on that day. On account of a scarcity,
Bome stock was held over for the holi-
day demand. This stock, in many cases,
was in poor condition. The supply of
good flowers was not abundant, chrys-
anthemums, roses and carnations tak-
ing the lead. Yellow chrysanthemums
were the most popular, with Russell
roses a close second. Novelties and
small flowers, such as bouvardias, gar-
denias, snapdragons, sweet peas and vio-
lets, were in poor demand for home
decorations, but numerous social func-
tions created a demand for corsages in
which these were effective. More nar-
cissi have appeared. Lilies and pot
plants have had little call.

The day after Thanksgiving the re-
tailers began their preparations for the
Christmas season, and if the bright,
growing weather continues the pros-
pects for a big Christmas business are
good.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was quite satis-
factory this year, despite conditions
that seemed to indicate the opposite.
All stock sold well, although the
weather was well above the freezing
point and the sky was cloudless. Be-
cause of the clean-up and the good
prices on stock, there was nothing to
complain of. This seems to augur well
for the Christmas business.

Roses were not plentiful; in fact,
hardly sufficient to take care of the
demand and consequently the hardest
to obtain. The quality of the rose cut
was good and the stock was well worth
all it brought. Carnations were in
good supply and the stock was cleaned
up with no difficulty. Prices ranged
from $3 to $4 and the entire supply
was moved each day without any bar-
gaining.

Chrysanthemums were more than
plentiful for the Thanksgiving trade,
although the warm weather during the
previous weeks seemed to indicate that
the crop would just about be over by
that time. Early in the week there
was little hope of cleaning up at all,
but the stock was disposed of readily
toward the end and November 30 late
comers had difficulty in getting what
they wanted. The clean-up helped the
returns on mums for the season to a
great extent, and, while mums will not
last much longer, the season for them
has been good. Chadwick and Bon-
naffon were the big sellers last week
and they were in excellent shape.

Violets cleaned up fairly well and
prices remained steadily at from $1.25
to $1.50 per hundred. The quality was
much better than last year's and the
selling more satisfactory. There was
an exceptional demand for orchids and
an extra large cut of cattleyas cleaned
up so quickly that quite a "few orders
were turned down. Some exceptionally
fine stock was disposed of and the mar-
ket was firm at $9 per dozen. Valley,
of course, was almost unobtainable and
the stock that was to be had was of
poor quality. The sale of plants was
good and this seems to demonstrate
that plants are being used more freely
for every occasion.

Various Notes.

for intestinal trouble November 20, at

The Florists' Review

Dbcembee 7, 1916.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Stock is scarce, but the quality was
never better at this season of the year.
Carnations are especially good and the
cut increases each day.

Thanksgiving trade was gratifying
and was somewhat better than ex-
pected, though this year it had been
looked forward to with greater expecta-
tions than ever before. It is evident
that the day is growing in importance,
and if it continues to develop in the
next five years as it has in the last
five it will be one of the greatest flower
days of the year. Unlike other holi-
days, it does not call for expensive and
fancy stock, but merely medium-priced
flowers and plants which, when sold in
quantities, are more profitable to the
florist than expensive, fancy stock. The
business did not start until the day be-
fore and was over by 2 o'clock Thanks-
giving day. The florists had a good
supply of carnations, narcissi, roses and
chrysanthemums, as well as a nice lot
of cyclamen and narcissus plants.
Practically the entire supply was con-
sumed.

The Tennessee-Kentucky football
game, as usual, proved a great feature
and everything in yellow and white
— the Tennessee colors — was taken up
long before the game started. Some of
the florists, having sold their flowers
in these colors, turned to their ribbon
counters and sold badges of white and
yellow ribbon. The Kentucky colors,
white and purple, were supplied by
tying purple ribbon on white chrysan-
themums. E. E. M.

The Market.

Thanksgiving business was good and,
while the prices were lower than those
of other years, the day served to clean
up tlie market well. Since the holiday,
business has been good. The supply of
stock is large and suflQcient for all pres-
ent needs.

Keceipts of roses are large and in-
clude good cuts of all varieties. Carna-
tions, too, are in good supply. Easter
lilies are plentiful. Shipments of Paper
White narcissi are large enough to take
care of all present demands. Orchids,
valley, sweet peas and double and sin-
gle violets sell well. Stevia has a fair
market. Some excellent late chrysan-
themums may be had. Greens of all
kinds are plentiful.

strength without the need of heavy, shadow-casting supports, these houses
are so warm and sunny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit
when Jack Frost has stripped the garden of its beauty.

The ventilating and heating systems are the result of years of experi-

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

DETROIT, MICH.

The Market.

Thanksgiving business was good, but
stock at times was hard to obtain.
Mums and pompons were plentiful, but
sold out completely. Roses ran short
in supply, especially in the short grades.
Violets, valley and orchids sold well;
in fact, corsages kept these items on the
jump. Beauties were insufficient for
requirements.

Various Notes.

T. Browne shipped in great quantities
of mums, but yellows cleaned up quick-
ly. George Bayer, of Toledo, shipped
in a nice lot of Bonnaffon mums. A.
Stahelin's roses were choice and did not
have to wait long to find buyers.

J. Breitmeyer's Sons' Jefferson ave-
nue branch is about ready for business.

Jack Carey reports a (big Thanksgiv-
ing business at the nevk store. Deliv-
eries were made without) a hitch.

John Moore has retuimed to the em-
ploy of J. BreitmeyetJs' Sons. H. T.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

There has been a scramble for stock
since Thanksgiving. Mums are just
about done for and the few left over
from Thanksgiving have found ready
sales. A number of blooms coming in
are picked up as soon as they are un-
packed. Roses have been off crop for
the last few days, but the outlook is
bright for a splendid crop from now
until Christmas. Carnations are coming
in heavily and are doing their share to
fill up the gap left by the mums. The
quality of the carnations is fine and all
we could ask for. Sweet peas are com-
ing in more plentifully and meet with
a reaily sale.

(Lilies are moving well, but the. sup-
ply is limited. Violets are more plenti-
ful and their quality has improved, in-
cluding sonic good singles. Potted
plants are in fine condition and quanti-
ties arc disposed of. Cyclamens, be-
gonias, primulas and poinsettias make
up the bulk of the stock. The demand
for ferns is heavy.

MANUFACTURERS

Not Assemblers

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
manufacturers.

With but a few minor exceptions,
we make everything 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 made
the way a greenhouse boiler should
be made. They are not the regular
house beating boilers bought of

some outside firm who cast our
name on the door.

It's the same even with a some-
what minor thing like our Tell Tale
Ventilating Apparatus.

We doa't buy it of some recording
machine company. It is made right
here 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-

CYPRESS BY TEST
SUBSTITUTES BY TALK

la there value to you In an endurance test of 48 years In greenhouse sash? It Is reported to us that sash made
of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor In Chicago and placed In position In a greenhouse at Des
Plalnes, 111.. In 1868, are «({{I doing service.

Jacob Fries, Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on the job.
And these are not isolated cases — ^they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" for greenhouse use.

It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements.

The argument backed by such Jacts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contractor who
wants to give you a "substitute" for Cypress to cite yon to an endurance test of 30 or 48 years to the credit of the
so-called "substitute."

That Is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good ordinary baslnesi senie.

If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, and no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood-pile." Tou
know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, wliich is Cypress.

"PECKY" CYPRESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. The D. S.
Govt Rept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has been a long time prey-
ing upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below
the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber is pecky, though It has been burled during
a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. . , . The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... Is believed
to act 04 a preservative . . . and to hinder decay."

Is 30,000 years "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUR greenbonseT '

There is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It is cheap, too.

A postal will do, a letter is better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library
(a strictly authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 is all about "GREENHOUSES." It is FREE. Send for It. Also
ask for Vol. 2, on "Pecky" — a tnonev-saver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT.

Price Crisis

The present rapid advance in the prices of
materials is without a parallel. Do you realize
what this means to you?

A great crisis always means an opportunity
to a really big man — whether in public life or
business.

Here are some hard, cold facts for you to
check off:

The principal items entering
into greenhouse construction are
structural steel, glass, pipe, wood-
work, lumber, paint, boilers, brass
valves, castings, steam fittings and
labor. A comparison of present
prices with the prices at this time
last year will surprise you; but
bear in mind that this difference
is hut the beginning. If you could
compare the prices of today with
the prices that will be in effect
next November, we believe you
would find the difference even
more startling.

Steel.
Base price on steel today in Chi-
cago is $74.00 per ton. The aver-
age price on structural steel for
greenhouse work is today about
$90.00 per ton, including plates
and extras. Last fall you could
have bouglit fabricated material
for the price of raw material to-
day. And this is not the end !
Probably by spring the average
cost of greenhouse sizes will be
$120.00 per ton.

Glass.

Glass is the highest it has been
for fifteen years, but with the
wages that are being paid in the
glass factories this winter and with
the increased cost of materials, the
price next spring will probably
outdo anything you have ever
known. If $4.50 now, would $6.00
surprise you next summer?

Pipe.

The present price of steel pipe is
about $7.00 to $10.00 per ton less
tlhan the cost of the raw steel. The
pipe manufacturers are using
stocks purchased on a much lower
market than the present and are
contracting every day for their
future supplies on the basis of the
present market. When material on
old contracts is gone, what do you
think pipe prices will be? There
Avas an advance November 1st, an-
other November 15th and again
December 1st. These advances,
running anywhere from 3 to 10 per
cent, come almost weekly. This
means the price next March will be
away above what it is today.

Woodwork.
Of all greenhouse materials, the
price of woodwork has been the
most stationary, the present price
being about 10 per cent higher than
it was at the same time last year.
The Cypress lumber mills have
changed their grading rules and
are getting rid of stocks made up
on the old rules. The new rules
will make it necessary for green-
house manufacturers to pay more
for lumber when the new stocks
come in. The demand for Cypress
lumber has been growing apace
during the last six months and
mills are quoting higher figures.
Lumber will advance steadily be-
tween now and spring, but the ad-
vance may not be as great as on
some other items. There will be
a big advance in the grades used
for benches, etc. The ordinary
grade of barn Cypress has ad-
vanced about $4.00 per thousand.

Paint.

Paint materials are out of sight.
Linseed oil is selling over the $1.00
mark and lead and zinc are up into
two figures. It will be impossible
to sell pure greenhouse paint for
$2.00 per gallon and make a
profit. Paint at $1.50 per gallon
has been a good average price. We
look for paint to sell at $2.25 to
$2.50 before March.

Cast Iron Boilers and Castings.

Cast iron boilers and castings are

bound to climb. Advices from big

people assure us that pig iron is

likely to reach $50.00 per ton. Last

JJKCfflUBKIt 7, 1916.

The Florists^ Review

III

yriw it sold at $14.00 per ton. Just
think of it, over 3i/^ times the for-
mer price! Cast iron boiler prices
today are based on pig iron cost-
ing about $25.00 per ton. All struc-
tural fittings will be higher. Split
t(«('s that have been selling for 9
cents will be 15 cents and gutter
])ost top fittings that sold for 18
cents will be 25 and 30 cents and
so it goes all along tlie line. The
cost of pig iron also affects steam
fittings. The fittings for a heating
plant will cost as much next fall
as you could have bought nickel-
plated fittings for last year.

Tubular Boilers.

Tubular boilers tiuit sold at $750
last spring are now about $2,000,
and if steel plates keep going up
the price on steel boilers will ))c
almost prohibitive. It would not
surprise us to see the price of a
72 X 18 — 150 horse-power boiler at
i;2,500 by ijext March with no
liriek work included. Can the
lirccnhouse owner afford this?
Boiler makers want six to nine
months for delivery. AVhy not or-
der now?

Brass Valves.

Brass valves are at present
• heap compared with the market,
liut are much higher than they
were three months ago. In some
kinds of brass valves manufactui'-
'■rs are (luoting higher than list
prices instead of giving a discount
:is was the case formerly.

Labor.

Labor is another item. During
the winter of 1915-1916 we had i\
number of men employed as la])or-
ers at 17i/o to 20 cents per liour.
Today the same men get 30 cents
to 35 cents. The hours of work
i'l'e getting shorter and the pay
per hour is going higher. It must
go higher to keep anywhere in
toncli with the prices of food stuffs.

The cost of living makes it ncccs-
mry for the workmen to get higher
wages and for the employer to
voluntarily give the men a higher
wage. Our line of work is a spec-
ial line and we try to keep our men
steadily at work every day in the
year — in the winter as well as the
summer. We take an interest in
oni' men and in their welfare. They
are a part of our business, l)ut of
course we shall have to pass on to
tlie customer the additional wages
it is Jiecessary for us to pay.

Think This Over.

Tlu' man who builds next sum-
mer will be obliged to pay every-
body's bill. Are you going to be
one of the fellows to wait for low
prices? If so, you will be disap-
pointed.

Our idea in telling you these
things is nol to alarm you, but to
u-(tni you to purchase now. Not
alone are the prices going to be
high, but materials are going to be
scarce. The steel mills are not anx-
ious to roll structural shai)es un-
less they are standard patterns and
largely used. Greenhouse steel
work is not altogether standard
design. Eveiy manufacturer is
\ising special shapes in one way
and anothci-. It is going to lie im-

possible to get some of these sizes
next year at any price.

Right now every greenhouse
manufacturer has gathered togeth-
er every dollar he can get and
has bought as much material as he
could afford to buy in the hoi)e
that he may be able to meet, at least
in part, the demand that will be
made on him this winter. All of
this material put together is only a
small amount com] )a red to what is
used in a season. No i)rices now are
guaranteed for any length of time.
You are spending your own money,
not ours ; but we warn you to buy
your greenhouse tomorrow, if you
can; but don't buy any green-
house until you get our price. We
are in a special position right now
to take on not over $300,000.00 in
contracts. We have just closed al-
most $100,000.00 worth. If you
want to participate in a part of the
$300,000.00 you will have to act
i|uickly.

Remember, every week you
wait you are losing money. Every
greenhouse manufacturer is up
against it! If you don't give your
order to us, give it to some one
else; but be SURE you give it
NOW!

Submit your plan, get your fig-
ure, place your order and be safe.

WIDE GREENHOUSES

Furnished by us for D. F. Harrison Co., of Kankakee, III.

It is only a little over a year ago that the site
of this greenhouse range was nothing but a big corn-
field.

There are now two (io x 450 ft. greenhouses and
a large concrete boiler and packing room.

Think of these two mammoth greenhouses tilled
with cucumber vines the year around, and think of the

tine prices you get for cucumbers in the winter season.

When it comes to building big greenhouses sub-
stantially and economically, we certainly can show
you how to do it, and we are always willing and
anxious to co-operate with you.

Just drop us a line and let us give you sketches
and estimates, free of charge.

Did it ever occur to you what your cost is every year to open and close
your ventilators? Stop, think and figure it out. It requires just as long to
open and close a fifty-foot section as it does a three-hundred-foot section.

The Evans Challenge, with our Double-acting 20th Century Arm and
Roller-bearing Hangers, is the only machine that will do this. Think it over,
then write for our catalogue and get our estimate. It's worth your while.

The Interesting Instance of Bland & Steinmetz

EV E R been to Independence,
Iowa V
What a fine, wide awake
little city it is I I went out of my
way about '200 miles to drop off there
and see Bland & Steinnietz's green-
house. Came away feeling amply
repaid and chuck full of the flower
business enthusiasm.

Mr. Bland is an old grower.

Mr. Steinmetz. a former banker,
who decided health was first con-
sideration, and believed greenhouse
work among the healthiest of healthy
things he could work at.

And what a team these two do
make I These two with the help of
Mrs. Bland, who here and there puts
a touch of woman's hand in the
Uoral arrangements, and keeps tiieir

(jlimpse in the Two-compartment Connecting House.

satisfied out-of-town customers
more than satisfied.

The house is 41 feet 9 inches wide
and 150 feet long, divided in two
compartments. Connecting it to the
workroom is another twoconipart-
mcnt house 11 feet by 50 feet.

The bif,' house is one of our two
column Iron Framers, that next to
being outdoors, are like being out-
doors, they are so light.

This firm started right by start-
ing with the right house, lightly
constructed.

It's the way they have gone about
everything. Wait a year or two and
you are going to hear some goodly
things about this firm.

Heady to talk building? Say
when and wliere and we'll be there.

What the Trade ii
Thinks o! Our

Superiora'' Magnolia Leaves

FIVE POINTS THAT HAVE (2.
WON FOR US THE ACCOM-<|-
PANNING ENDORSEMENTS )

\5.

All leaves are of a medium size, no smaU ones and no large ones.

Leaves are all uniform In color.

All leaves will stay pliable.

^'Superlora" leaves are the best prepared kind, particularly under the present

conditions.
All "Superiora" leaves are the non-moulding kind.

Detroit, Mich., Nov. 27, 1916.
Messrs. Dr. H. Dux & Bro., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen; We have been handling your "Superiora"
Magnolia Leaves for the past six years, and find in all
this time that we have had no complaints, but many com-
pliments on these goods. The trade is growing more with
us every day for your leaves, as your records will show,
and it is with pleasure that we sell ' ' Superiora ' ' Mag
nolias, knowing that when we do we are satisfying our
customer with the best there is to be had in Magnolia
Leaves. Yours very truly,

(Signed) Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dee. 1, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: Since we are handling your Magnolia
Leaves our business has steadily grown. We attribute
this to satisfied customers. Never as yet have we had
a complaint from them nor a carton returned.

We had a great deal of trouble with the old line we
handled, so manj^ were returned to us as being unfit for
use, either mouldy or dried out, and not of a uniform
size.

We can only offer praise to you for the superior goods
you are supplying us. Yours very truly,

(Signed) Cleveland Florists' Exchange.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 1, 1916.
Messrs. Dr. H. Dux & Bros., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: Many thanks for your prompt shipment of
last thousand cartons of MAGNOLIA LEAVES, as we
were oversold on our Christmas orders and were a little
anxious.

Other Magnolia Preparers have tried to induce us to
stock up their goods "just as good as Dux's" at a cheaper
price, but we have in each instance told them frankly
that it was a case of quality with us and that we did not
think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did.
We consider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of
our business, and will not take a chance of losing it— in
fact, our traveling men are often greeted as ' ' Magnolia
Kings. ' '

Wishing you the compliments of the season, we arc,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) The McCallum Co., lac-.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 1, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: It is the opinion of the McCarthy Co. that
your good firm prepares the best leaf that has yet been
offered in the United States. It is well worth the differ-
ence between the prices offered by inferior manufacturers
and your agents. Yours respectfully,

(Signed) N. F. McCarthy & Co.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 2, ^916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We are pleased to state that the quality
of your Magnolia Leaves is certainly the best ever manu-
factured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale. Undoubtedly in the future we shall be
able to place large orders with you again.
Wishing you every success, we are.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Henry M. Eobinson & Co.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 28, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Inc., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: I have been handling the "Superiora"
Magnolia Leaves for the past five years or more and find
tliem to be very satisfactory in every way. My custom-
ers insist on having the "Superiora" brand of Magnolia
Leaves, as they claim these are the best and do not dry
out or become mouldy, and every leaf can be used, and
when this is taken into consideration, they are also the
cheapest besides being the best. Yours respectfully,

(Signed) C. E. Critchell.

Montreal, Canada, Nov. 30, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Inc., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: In response to your letter of recent date,
we take pleasure in stating that we have been very much
satisfied with the quality of your "Superiora" Magnolia
Leaves.

As you will notice, our business has increased with you
this year over double of what we purchased last season,
and I think you will agree with us that that is a good
recommendation in itself— that the trade in Canada ap-
preciates the durability and keeping qualities of your leaf.

We would also mention that we appreciate the integrity,
promptness and good business methods that have char-
acterized all your dealings with us. Yours very truly,
(Signed) Montreal Floral Exchange, Ltd.

New York, Nov. 27, 1916.
Messrs. Dr. Dux Bros., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We beg leave to acknowl-
edge receipt of your last shipment of
Magnolias and Oak Leaves, and we are
indeed pleased to say that they are su-
perior in every way to any we have here-
tofore received from you or anyone else,
and considering the difficulty you must
experience in procuring dyes and other
chemicals used in the preparation of your
different products.

We cannot but praise the appearance
and finish of your last shipment, which
has been like all previous shipments, as
near as perfect leaf can be obtained.

We further state that otir experience
in leaves from other dealers has been
very unsatisfactory — colors vary and
leaves mould quickly. As usual you may
book our order for one thousand cartons
(1,000) of Magnolia Leaves. With best
wishes. Yours truly,

(Signed) Eeed & Keller.

Decbmbur 14, IttlG.

Tlie Studebaker Corporntion

of America,

Chapman nnd Adler Sts.
Portland, Ore.

Gentlemen:—

On MarcH 28th we purchased one
of yourl5(X) lb. DeJh'ery 'Wagons
from your local iagentin thiscity ,
the Oregon Motor Car Company,
;ind we want you to know that
this wagon haS solved the prob-
lem of delivery for us.

The mileage shown on the
speedometer on this date is 5U10
miles; the original air is in the
casings and there is no doubt in
our minds but what the casingn
will last for at least 3,000 miles
more inasmuch as they show
but little wear.

We average 160 stops per day
and the electric starter has nev-
er failed us; in fact, we mislaid
our starting crank the first day
we received the car and can see
no reason for purchasing an-
other.

Not one cent has been spent by
us for upkeep or repair on this
car, nor has it ever been in your
Agent's Garage to receive free-
service attention.

In a short time we will need
another Delivery Car and we
will "Buy because it's.aSTUDE
BAKER."

Yours truly.

THE HOME CREAMERY COMPANY

By John Hefer

Motor Service

8:30 to 5:30 P. M. less one hour
for llunch.

Per Contra

2 horse* and 2 Wagons with 2
men each from 7 A. M. to 6:30
P. M. without hour to lunch.

That is, 7 /J hours of motor work
I equal 23 hours of horse-drawn
I work.

— this is what one retailer saved:
How much can it save YOU?

You know, of course, the GREATLY improved delivery ser-
vice that a motor system insures. That's been proved too
often to need details here. But how. much does it save.?
And is the saving enough to justify the change in equipment?
That's what we want to tell you.

Thousands of retailers are using Studebaker Delivery Cars.
Here is the experience of one. Over your desk a Studebaker
Delivery Advisor can. give you more— and can also tell you
almost to a dollar how much a Studebaker Car will save YOU.

Of all the cars on the market, not one
is so well-fitted for florist's deliver-
ies as this Studebaker. For Stude-
baker, with more than half a century';:
experience in building delivery ve-
hicles, knows delivery needs and has
built this car to meet them.

It has the power of any ton or two ton
utilitytruck. Yetitis ECONOMICAL
power for the motor is based on the
same design that has made Stude-
baker Touring Cars famous foi- econ-
omy of fuel.

It is the simplest car on the market
-easiest to drive — any of your
drivers can be readily taught to run
it. It has a Studebaker- Wagner
Electric Starting and Lighting Sys-
tem that has been proved a success

on 200,000 cars— a FULL floating
rear axle — brakes of ample size to
Slop the car inside a few feet —
strongly braced body-construction
and heavily ironed fenders.

And it is not only one of the hand-
somest cars on the streets in design,
but is finished like a high grade tour-
ing car and finely upholstered.

It costs little at the start — and is
surprisingly low in maintenance ex-
pense. And from the day you start
it off on your delivery routes, it not
only gives BETTER service but
cuts down the. cost of every delivery
from 2c to 6c each. See the Stude-
baker dealer or write and let us tell
you HOW MUCH it will save YOU.

Getting a lead
in the florist business

FRESH flowers — likely
location— quick deliveries
make the leading" florist.
But the greatest of these js
quick deliveries.

"Can't afford it" has no place
in the creed of the hustling
florist.

Actually the cheapest de-
livery in the world is a hand-
some VIM Delivery Car— from
hauling half a ton of potted
plants, to meeting a late express
with flowers for the opera and
delivering them on time.
With a VIM doing your work,

CHAS.B.STAHL

FLOftlST

you don't have to worry about get-
ting the week-end, or day-before-the-
holiday, orders out.

Remember this is a sturdy half-
ton truck ready for business emer-
gencies — not a converted auto, in-
tended fjr pleasure. It keeps out of
the repair shop.

All experience shows that the
economical delivery equipment for
the florist is the half-ton truck. The
VIM is the most profitable half-ton
truck because it was designed for
this work and for nothing else.

Over 20,000 business institutions
are paying for their VIM cars out of
the car's profits. This same VIM
Deferred Payment Plan is available
to you.

This is the most efficient chassis for
its work in tlie world price is $645.
Fitted with any one of twelve types
of body — handsomely designed and
strongly built— suitable for a hundred
lines of business. Price comj^ete Open

Salesrooms, 19-25 East 24th St. NEW YORK

The splendid business done for Thanksgiving, exceeding the most sanguine
expectations, has raised great anticipations as to the Christmas demand.

DMITTEDLY the most uncertain of the special
flower days, Christmas has seemed more hazard-
ous than usual this year, but the tremendous
demand that flooded down upon the trade in
the forty-eight hours of the Thanksgiving season
has been accepted as an indication that the
Christmas rush of 1916 will break all records
for our business. The result is that hesitation
has been cast aside and even the most conserva-
tive are stocking up for banner business. Stores
are being filled with a great variety of accessories, plants
are being hunted with avidity, and cut flowers are being
ordered with enthusiasm — extra clerks are being engaged,
delivery systems planned and advertising is receiving atten-
tion, something quite unusual in this business, as florists have
found it difficult to break the habit of awaiting fortune's
favors without offering special invitation.

The reason that Christmas has earned the reputation of
being the most uncertain of special flower days is found in
the fact that at other times public attention is centered on
only one or two other articles of merchandise — clothes at
Easter, valentines and
candy for February 14,
food at Thanksgiving
— while at Christmas
flowers are compelled
to compete for favor
with every other con-
ceivable line of mer-
chandise. For Memo-
rial day. Mothers' day
and AH Saints' day
flowers still are with-
out active competition,
but can you suggest
any article so foolish
that someone does not
recommend, and many
accept, it as the finest
kind of Christmas gift?

purchases increase

inas, no man can fore-

factors into account. To begin with, there are many florists
who have so increased their sales that they now do regularly
what they did only at holiday times a few years ago. Dare they
count on a corresponding increase for Christmas? Then, too, it
is the experience of the trade in the larger cities that the best
Christmas increases, relative to the regular business, have
come in the years of general depression, when usually pros-
perous people sent flowers because they did not care to spend
larger sums.

This year, with the country in a higher state of prosperity
than ever known, what will be the demand for flowers?

Will people of means turn to costly articles, as they have
done in some other prosperous years? Will they neglect
flowers, which they sent as gifts in years when they wanted
to hold the expenditures to what they considered small sums?
If they do, are there enough new people who have just come
into the flower-buying class to offset the loss?

Added to the other complexities of this unusual season is
the fact that in this year of so-called unprecedented pros-
perity a great many people are without surplus funds — the
expenses forced on them in both a business and personal way

have reduced their
ability to purchase out-
side the line of neces-
sities. Are Christmas
gifts necessary? Hpw
many of your custom-
ers are as busy as bees,
but making less money
than usual? How
much has the soaring
price of paper or pota-
toes curtailed the abil-
ity to buy flowers?

Our Prices.

But there is still an-
other factor of uncer-
tainty: Practicallv all
other gift articles are
higher in price than
ever before; the only
exceptions are a few
trade-marked articles,
most of which are
classed, like flowers
among the luxuries
and which alwavs have
sold at large margins
of profit. If the pub-
lic hesitates over the
advances that are
charged in other stores
the florist can attract
trade by putting em-
phasis on the molera-
tiou of his prices.
Indeed, there are those
in the producing end
of the florists' business

Coming Back Into Its Own.

to the growers, have not advanced at
all, or even have declined, and that
such increases as have been made are
those of the retailer, who could main-
tain last year's selling prices if he
would.

The effect of these opposite influences
has been a matter of doubt in the minds
of those who studied them early in the
season, but within the last fortnight
doubt has been resolved into decision
— it was the Thanksgiving business that
did it. Today there is perfect confi-
dence that the Christmas demand will
break all records.

Thanksgiving Was Great.

It is pointed out that the conditions
that might affect the Christmas business
nearly all were present at Thanksgiv-
ing; that food prices then were the
highest ever known in America; that
people quite generally refused to pay
the price of turkey, long symbolic of
the day, but that in numbers far greater
than ever before they bought flowers
for the table. The cleanup was the best
the florists' trade ever has had, and it
has inspired unlimited confidence in
the demand for Christmas.

Flower stores are stocking up with
accessories as never before. The con-
siderations which made many retailers
slow to begin the sale of merchandise
other than flowers gradually have been
overcome, and now about the only man
who sells "just flowers" is the one
who retails in the potting shed of his
greenhouse.

Plants Not Abundant.

For several years the supply of Christ-
mas stock has increased rapidly, espe-
cially in the plant department, but this
year there will be no increase. Condi-
tions are such that the supply of cut
flowers and plants in the aggregate will
not exceed if, indeed, it equals, last
year's — this in spite of the steady in-
crease in glass.

In the matter of plants, stocks of the
varieties which have their source in
Europe have been steadily reduced in
the last two years. The Christmas
supply of cyclamens and azaleas will

be particularly short this year; of cycla-
mens because of British activity in
intercepting German seeds and the sub-
sequent loss' of an unusual percentage
of the plants as the result of the severe
heat in summer and the subsequent
ravages of mite. The azaleas were so
late in arriving this year that it was
impossible that the usual number be
forced safely into bloom by Christmas,
in addition to which were heavy losses
by freezing. Many poinsettias were lost
last summer. The supplies of other
plants are more nearly normal, but in-
quiries develop the fact that the sum-
mer was a hard one for the plantsmen,
and in the aggregate they have neither
so much nor so good stocks at this
Christmas as they had last year.

Cut Flowers Plentiful.

Cut flower supplies are more nearly
tip to the usual quantity and quality

steadily improves. The increase in glass
last spring probably makes up for all
loss in Christmas supply due to the
effects of the hot summer, which has
been specially apparent in carnations,
and for a disposition to crop a part of
the roses for January rather than for
late December. In the last two or three
years it has been increasingly plain that
the grower who cut steadily all winter,
and especially in January and February,
made more money than the one who
cropped every plant with the thought in
mind that Christmas prices once were
the highest of the year.

The indications are that cut flowers
of nearly all kinds will be in better
demand this Christmas than in recent
years, with better average prices with-
out any advance in the top prices, fol-
lowed in the first part of the new year
by larger supplies than usual and in-
creased incentive to push for business
at that season.

WHY THE WEST IS BUSY.

D. C. Horgan, of the Idle Hour Nurs-
ery, Macon, Ga., has culled the follow-
ing gem of thought, which may be
taken as showing why the agricultural
states of the middle west and south are
buying so heavily this season. It is
from a rural newspaper:

' ' Good morning. Si. ' '

"Good morning, Hi."

"I say, Si, what is the price of that
wagon over yonder?" i*

'•$90, Hi."

"$90! Why, my father bought the
same wagon thirty years ago for $60."

"Yes, Si, he did, and bought it of
me, but as I wanted some corn, your
father delivered to me 300 bushels of
corn in payment for the $60 wagon. I
can use more corn now and I will make
the same trade with you today as I did
with your father some thirty years ago
on the same wagon, and will give you

TRADESCANTIAS.

I have tried several different ways
of growing tradescantias. After they
are rooted I pot them up, three or four
cuttings to a 3-inch pot, and shift them
so they will not become potbound. I
used two different batches of soil, sim-
ilar to those used for growing roses, and
two different temperatures, 50 and 65
degrees at night, but without success.
What do you suggest as the best way
to grow these plants? Any information
^ will be appreciated. R. E. L. — Mass.

The tradescantia is easily propagated
and grown. It is seen at its best be-
low benches or where it is allowed to
run at its pleasure. It is hardly desir-

able as a pot plant except where noth-
ing else can be grown. It is of some
value in window boxes. -C. W.

REMEDY FOR CYCLAMEN MITE.

I am sending you a sample of a batch
of cyclamen plants that seem to be af-
fected by some disease or insect pest.
The plants have not been infested with
green fly, to my knowledge. They were
grown indoors during the summer and
since have had a night temperature of
50 to 55 degrees. I shall appreciate
any information you can give me with
regard to the cause of this trouble and
a remedy for it. C. L. — Wis.

The plant arrived in good condition.
Both flowers and foliage showed unmis-
takably the signs of the cyclamen mite.
I do not know of any cure for the mite,

but frequent dusting of the tops of tlie
tubers with fresh tobacco dust and
sprayings with a nicotine extract have
boon found beneficial by some. Usually
when this mite appears it ruins an en-
tire batch. It is not due to any in-
attention on your part; your treatment
lias been quite correct. The stock of the
best specialists in this line has severe
attacks of it occasionally. I would ad-
vise you to drop cyclamen culture for
one year and buy what plants you may
need for your retail trade. C. W.

Lincoln, lU.— Visitors at the estab-
lishment of Gullett & Sons comment
on the exceptional showing made by
the benches of Carnation Nebraska that
were planted earliest. The variety is
said not to have done so well for all
growers, but these benches seem to
leave nothing to be desired.

SANTA CLAUS PUBLICITY MAN.

Catching the Spirit of the Day.

On the day the newspapers told of
Europe 's mobilization of troops, a Bos-
ton shoe merchant came out with a large
newspaper advertisement, with this
headline in heavy, black type: "We are

mobilizing " Underneath this

headline, in lighter type, the sentence
continued: "6,000 pairs of smart shoes
for tomorrow's sale." This advertiser,
by employing a clever catchline, en-
hanced the attention-winning quality
of his sale announcement. The people's
appetites were whetted for war litera-
ture, and this advertisement, with a
headline related to the approaching war,
undoubtedly was read by many people
who would never have stopped to read
had "Shoes tomorrow at $3" been the
leading display. In advertising par-
lance, the shoe dealer was said to have
"borrowed" some of the publicity
given the war. By injecting current
news interest into his advertisement,
the shoe advertiser cashed in on the
spirit and public interest of the day.

Getting Astride Current Events.

Then came the battle of Wilson ver-
sus Hughes — the race between the don-
key and the elephant. The quadrennial
political stage play of the G. O. P. and
the Democrats was on the boards. Straw
votes, election bets and mud-slinging
were the order of the times. Just be-
fore the election, a Chicago wholesale
florist had as the display feature of his
trade journal advertisement three let-
ters, "G. O. P.," in large, black type.
In smaller-sized type, instead of saying
something about the Republican party,
the readers were solicited to "Give Or-
ders to Py f er 's ' '—hence the " G. 0. P. "
On election day an eastern newspaper
ad reported that "Chalmers carries New
England by a large majority." What
Chalmers? The Chalmers automobile, to
be sure. These are two fair examples of
advertising in which a subject of cur-
rent interest to the masses was utilized
to strengthen the first fundamental prin-
ciple of all advertising — attraction.

Along the same lines many other cases
under different circumstances could be
related. During the recent infantile
paralysis scare a chemical company
manufacturing efScacious disinfectants
created an enormous sale of its old line
of goods by playing up the ravages of
the then present plague and recommend-
ing the use of its products as a preven-
tive measure. During the so-called baby
week, when motion pictures, magazines
and newspapers featured "bigger, bet-
ter babies," department and specialty
stores devoted windows tc elaborate dis-
plays of baby clothes, cradles, toys,
baby carriages, children 's nurseries,
etc., hoping thereby to catch the atten-
tion of mothers interested in the baby
welfare movement. i

Santa Claus Delivers Flowers.

And now the Christmas spirit is here.
The season of merry gift-giving and
good cheer has come again. How may

advertisers make a stronger bid for the
Christmas shopper's attention? One
answer is easy — use Santa Clans to at-
tract the children and the parents will
come along. The idea is not new. Old

each year have Santa Claus in the toy
sections, but it remained for a Kansas
City florist, the George M. Kellogg Flow-
er & Plant Co., to press Santa Glaus
into the delivery service. The accom-
panying illustration shows the Kellogg
delivery, auto and Santy delivering a
box of flowers. If this was not excellent
publicity, it at least was good public-
ity. Grown-ups^ as well as children,
can be attracted by Santa Claus— every-
body is interested in masquerade.

In speaking of this advertising stunt,
which was used Christmas, 1915, the
Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. said:

"We decorated the car with frieze,
Christmas roping and wreaths, and used
Santa Claus to deliver all packages.
This certainly made a hit with the pub-
lic. Many customers stated that they
made purchases just in order to have
Santa Claus deliver the package of
plants or cut flowers at their houses,
for the sake of their children."

It is apparent that the Kellogg Santa
Claus is an advocate of rapid transit
and service first to customers. The high
cost of feeding has made the modern
Santa Claus turn loose his reindeer and
abandon the sleighbells' jingle for the
auto 's honk.

Santa Claus as a Florist's Delivery Messenger— Note the Roping and Red Wreaths on the Truck.

Naturally, then, the large numbers of
people who go to the movies offer a
field for publicity which has not been
overlooked. To meet the interest of
every individual, there is not only high
class drama and good comedy, but up-
to-the-minute news pictorials of events
throughout the world, and a great deal
of attention has been paid to lantern
slide advertising.

Florists who have tried this method
of obtaining publicity quickly found
that there was a great deal of difference
in the results produced by different
slides; that the selection of the slides
was, in fact, scarcely less important
than selecting a movie theater patron-
ized by the right class of people.

To begin with, careful thought
should be given the matter of framing
the appeal so that the instantaneous ef-
fect on the movie patron will be a re-
solve to buy. Slide manufacturers have
devoted much care to the work of pre-
paring copy and layouts and their ar-
tists have learned to put the last de-
gree of legibility and distinctiveness
into the hand-lettering. The copy pre-
pared, a photographic negative is de-
veloped and proved before the positive
is made. The smallest possible flaw
would mean starting over with a new
negative. The positive is inspected in
the dark room under a strong white
light, and it is not "passed" unless
flawless. The coloring must be done by
people who understand color values and
the exact effects produced by the va-
rious conditions which may govern the
projection of the slides. The name to
be filled in should be accurately printed
on a press and the crystalloid strip se-
curely fastened between the slide and
the cover plate. All suggestion of patch
work thus is eliminated. These points
all have a direct and important bear-
ing on the way slides are received by
the public.

When ordering slides it is well to get
a set made, for different occasions, so
that they may be changed frequently.
The same slide should not be shown
more than one week, for it will have
ordinarily been seen by every patron of
the theater in that time.

sociation has begun the publicity cam-
paign provided for at the recent meet-
ing in Chicago. The first step has been
to provide the members with a large
display card for use in their stores and
show windows. This is the beginning
of an effort to let the public know of
the facilities for the delivery of flow-
ers at a distance. Heretofore such ef-
forts have been entirely of individual
character; hereafter they are to be di-
rected by Secretary Pochelon with the
aid of an advisory committee of the
association's members. This is ex-
pected to result in concerted and effec-
tive work to popularize the service
with the public. It should have the
aid and encouragement of all florists,
growers as well as retailers, whether
members of the association or not, be-
cause every telegraph delivery order is
just that much clear gain to the trade —
it calls for flowers which otherwise
would have to find some other sale.

This is the eighth award of this medal
made by the society in recognition of
eminent service in the advancement of
horticulture. Previous awards have
been made to Prof. C. S. Sargent, of the
Arnold Arboretum; Jackson T. Daw-
son; Victor Lemoine, of Nancy, France;
Michael H. Walsh, the rose specialist of
Woods Hole, mass.; the park commis-
sion of Rochester, N. Y.; Sir Harry J.
Veitch, of London, and Ernest H. Wil-
son, of Jamaica Plain, Mass.

THE WHITE MEDAL.

The trustees of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society have awarded the
George Robert White medal of honor
for the year 1916 to William Robinson,
of Gravetye Manor, Sussex, England.

BEOONIAS OFF SHADE.

I am enclosing some leaves of a be
gonia, the name of which I do not
know. I would like to know why it
grows off shade. The begonia was
grown in a night temperature of 50 de-
grees, sometimes a little lower, and 70
to 80 degrees was maintained in the
daytime. The plants seem to grow
spimlly. The soil is a good mixture,
such as used for roses.

R. E. L.— Mass.

The variety is Begonia maculata, or
B. argyrostigma. With this variety it
is usual for a certain proportion of the
leaves to come spotted and others to re-
main green. C. W.

seems. It may be true that any adver-
tising is better than no advertising,
but a little consideration will convince
the most casual of florists that some
advertising is a great deal better than
others — that the difference principally
is due to the time, thought and money
expended on it.

USE OF THE MODERN POWER.

The Drawing Power of Advertising.

To do business at Christmas — more
business this Christmas than usual — it
is necessary to have something to sell.
Preparations must be made. And hav-
ing arranged for supplies is not enough.
Display is essential. The flower store
that gets the transient business will be
the one that puts up the best front, not
necessarily the flashiest front, but the
most seductive showing. That's where
skill counts.

Then comes the no loss important
matter of reminding the public of the
special appropriateness of flowers as
gifts and of one's own preparedness to
supply the demand. After years of
waiting for customers to come to the
door, florists the last few years have
awakened to the fact that people can
be drawn to the store, or to the tele-
phone, whijh is the same thing, by care-
fully prepared advertising.

Recent Discoveries.

It ha3 been discovered that the flo-
rist who combines high-class stock, high-
class equipment, high-class service and
high-class advertising is the one who
is making the most rapid progress in
expanding his sales and his profits.

It has been found that the man who
provides the first three but leaves out
the fourth concomitant is going for-
ward or back only as his whole neigh-
borhood changes; that he is the foot-
ball of fortune rather than the master
of his own destiny.

There still are many florists whose
only advertising is the show window,
but the more progressive are employ-
ing the more far-reaching methods.
Page ads in the daily newspapers fre-
quently are iised, but not so often that
they have ceased to excite remark.

Some of Last Year's Ads.

In tills issue of The Review are re-
produced some of the ads its subscribers
sent in last Christmas with reports that
they had proved profitable. Two of
these newspaper ads are from the east
and two from the west — and they dif-
fer as widely in character as they do in
point of origin and use. Penn's is an
example of the highest type of metro-
politan output. Originally published
in the Boston Post, with a circulation
of nearly half a million copies a day,
the rate is so high that the best talent
could be put on the preparation of lay-
out, copy and cuts. The Review has
reproduced so many Penn ads that they
lack the news element of novelty, but
thus far no florist's retail advertising
has been discovered anywhere in the
United States that is so well worth
study and, if not copying, of emulation.
There arc ideas in the Penn ads; they
show that hard thought and business
intelligence have been employed. They
help the whole trade as well as the con-
cern that pays the bill, for they adver-
tise flowers. If a hundred florists in
as many different cities would do the

intelligent advertising Penn has done,
how the flower business would boom!

Quite at the other end of the scale
is the small ad of th6 Rhode Island
concern that makes no direct offer,
quotes rfo prices and which comes under
the head of general publicity only. But
Johnson Bros, were pleased with the re-
sults, for they sent it to The Review
as an example of their successful effort.

General or Direct?

Of the same general character, only a
Jittle more elaborate, is the ad of The
Rosery, of Terre Haute, Ind. The de-
sign is a stock one sold to florists or
newspapers. The Review is not aware
of the source, but several of its sub-
scribers used the same design last year
and the plant and flower cuts are easily
recognizable as having been redrawn
from some which have appeared in this
paper. C. L. Houck, manager of The
Rosery, wrote four days before Christ-
mas last year, ^'This ad already is
bringing results. ' ' Lozier, Des Moines,
used the same design and almost the
same copy and H. E. Lozier said, "We
have been using this style of ad suc-
cessfully for two years." And y«t the
ad makes no direct offer; it is general
I)ublicity only.

On the other hand, the Bancroft ad,
which is said to have "pulled like a
greenhouse chimney," is extremely di-
rect— it is nothing but price-list, where
Penn devotes a considerable part of his
space to a careful and alluring descrip-
tion of each article priced.

Advertising is not as simple as it

PLANS THAT WIN.

Methods of Getting New Trade,

The publishers of System magazine
also issue a series of "How" books,
telling pretty nearly everything one
would need +o know to conduct any
business successfully. The latest is
' ' How to Win New Trade, ' ' and of the
161 plans described the following are
indexed as of special interest to florists:

A Special Service.

"A certain Iowa merchant makes a
feature during the summer months of
advice on how to keep lawns, shrubs and
trees in good condition. He also main-
tains a department which takes care of
lawns and gardens for a suitable fee
while the owners are away for the sum-
mer."

Stimulating Telephone Sales.

"An unusually prosperous store has
built a flourishing week-end trade in
cut flowers through advertising specific
bouquets at stated prices. The combi-
nations offered usually range in price
from $1 to $2 and the store calls them
'week-end specials.' One of the rules
of -these special combination sales is
that orders must be booked by Friday
night, the prices not being effective on
orders delayed until Saturday. Orders
are taken over the telephone, of course,
and deliveries are made to all parts of
the city. A dollar, for example, may
buy half a dozen large yellow chrysan-
themums and a bunch of little pompons

Last Year's Customers.

' ' A florist whose business is growing
unusually rapidly sends to every cus-
tomer who purchased during the previ-
ous July, August and September a let-
ter rQferring to this previous hot-month
purchase and asking if by chance the
remembrance is to be repeated during
the current summer. He also keeps
posted on the club dances and the many
little entertainments .always held dur-
ing the summer. He writes to the men
suggesting how much one of his special
summer bouquets will add to their part-
ners' pleasure at the dance."

WHAT IT COSTS US.

Thj Bureau of Plant Industry of the
iJepartment of Agriculture is asking for
a number of large appropriations for
use in connection with its work during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918.
The investigation of plant diseases will
require $(52,500, an increase of $14,000
over this year 's appropriation. Citrus
canker investigations will require $250,-
000. There is asked the sum of $85,915
for investigation of diseases of forest
and ornamental trees and shrubs, a de-
crease of $1,260. Drug plant investiga-
tions require $58,820, an increase of
$5,000. Seed testing will create a need
for $34,700. Economic and systematic
botany will require $26,100, although of
this the sum of $3,000 is to be expended
in cooperating with horticultural organ-
izations in the standardization of bo-
tanical natiics in horticultural use.

The free distribution of flower and
vegetable seeds by members of Congress
will cost the government $8,820 less
next year than during the present fiscal
year, the appropriation asked for being
only $243,720. It is expected that there

will be the same old controversy in
the House and Senate, which will end in
the retention of these seeds as in former
vears.

The Arlington Farm will get $21,900,
a part of which will be used in the care
and maintenance of the rose garden.

riant introduction work will necessitate
the expenditure of $93,040, it is esti-
mated; the Federal Horticultural
Board's expenses will amount to $75,-
000, as usual, and $87,430 will be used
in carrying out the provisions of the
insecticide law. C. L. L.

TIME TO THINK BASKETS.

Basket Profits are Profits Pliis.

Fancifully speaking, when the com-
bined sale of basket and flowers reaches
the bookkeeping department the sta-
tistician there dissects the selling price
into three distinct morsels — cost, over-
head, profit. The last morsel, usually
the most disconcerting and illusive of
the three, then advances to "Cr.," pro-
vided nothing unforeseen has happened
to hack oflf a fraction or two.

Now profit is profit on a basket sale,
but those who have graduated from the
drones' class will admit that earnings
on basket sales also represent an in-
surance, as it were, on repeat orders.
Namely, the more baskets a florist dis-
poses of the more frequent will be his
repeat orders for plants or cut flowers
to keep the baskets filled.

Mr. Brown buys a handsome two-tone
basket filled with cut roses, and pre-
sents it to Mrs. Brown on the occasion
of their tin wedding anniversary. Some
time afterward Mr. Brown receives a
catchy billet from his florist, which
sounds something like this: "Dear Mr.
Brown: Why not let flowers cheer your
home all the time? That pretty basket
you purchased from me can be refilled
every little while at a most reasonable
cost. Today, for instance, I offer you
some unusually fragrant roses — just the
thing to put the finishing touch to your
apartments. Say Main 123 to the tele-
phone operator."

Baskets Good Christmas Gifts.

Admittedly the idea presented is a
small one, but there are many such
ideas and opportunities, each of which
may grow up some day and each of
which counts in the aggregate. Any-
way, we are not supposed to sit in a
rocking chair and wait for business to
walk in through the door — we are sup-
posed to go after the business, and get
it.

As Christmas and the gift-giving
days draw apace the sales possibilities
of baskets take on special significance ;
inasmuch as a basket and its contents
usually serves as a gift to someone.
Therefore now is the time for the "mer-
chant florist" to put his basket stock
through a risrorous third degree. The
assortment should be sufficientlv large
to cover the tastes of the public and
meet the requirements of short and
long-stemmed flowers as well as plants.
The next thing ia to make plans for ex
ploitine the baskets and the stock to
go in them.

In a few cases the desirability of
baskets as Christmas gifts may be
profitably advertised in the local news-
papers. Florists who possess good mail-
ing lists perhaps could send out 1-cent-
postage folders which combine illustra
tions of the filled baskets with a "per-
sonal" letter. Then there is the dis-
play window, in which the retailer
shows his baskets filled with flowers or
plants. Cards suggesting baskets as
gifts should be placed in the window,

as many persons not familiar with flo-
rists' merchandise are likely to think
that the baskets shown are display
units of the florist, and not a part of
the sale.

A Help that Sells Better Baskets.

The showing of baskets in the store
is of special importance. Many a man
or woman who crosses the threshold
with the intention of purchasing only a
few flowers for a vase may be attracted
by the baskets and purchase one of
them, as well as the stock to go with
it. A good assortment on display will
assist the customers in buying and as-
sist the florist in selling. It often is
desirable to bunch the different styles
of baskets, in order to provide a con-
trast between the high and low-priced
ones. The advantage of this is that the
average customer, in choosing from an
assortment of all grades, is likely to se-
lect a basket in the higher-priced di-
vision, because the one chosen seems
much prettier than its lower-priced

mates. When the buyer has selected a
high-grade basket the florist then pro-
ceeds to fill it with high-grade stock, »
order to harmonize the two items. Thns
the amount of the sale is increased.

The illustration on page 33 shows
a good basket display in the store of
the Siebrecht Floral Co., at Winona,
Minn. But it is not necessary to have
an expensive wall case to advantageous-
ly display baskets and other recep-
tacles; the management of the Jsiebreeht
Floral Co. simply believed in doing
everything the right way at the start.
More flowers, and baskets filled with
flowers and plants, took tneir position
near the basket display when the
photographer had finished his work.

Buffalo, N. Y. — Next spring Herbert
Taylor expects to become proprietor of

scape Gardening Co., which until re-
cently was conducted by A. Allen, who

ment of Z. D. Blaekistone, Washing-

SOME TIMELY HINTS.

Early Preparations.

As sales of Christmas plants are often
made well in advance of the holiday, it
is well to have a good display in the
store window or show house in good
season. Keep both store and show house
as cool as personal comfort will permit.
Get all the pots scrubbed clean before
the busy selling time arrives. It is a
job of some magnitude to get all the
pots clean, but it is vastly worse if pot-
washing is put off until the plants are
sold. Another point to remember is
that plants in clean pots, if even of only
moderate quality, look better and are
liable to sell better than well grown
ones in pots green with slime.

Careful Wrapping Necessary.

The advance in the price of every
description of paper and twine will be
quite a serious matter to florists this
season. Every plant sold needs careful
wrapping in order to make sure that it
will reach its purchaser in good condi-
tion. Climatic conditions over a large
.section of our country are notoriously
treacherous; even in December we get
spells of wonderfully balmy weather
and one is much tempted to pack light-
ly and save on paper. This works well
if the plants have but a short distance
to go, but it is decidedly risky if plants
are left to the tender mercies of ex-
pressmen. Heavy wrapping with paper
will exclude a surprising amount of
cold and my advice would be to wrap
heavily and be on the safe side. Stock

up with old newspapers and be sure to
use soft tissue to wrap next to the flow-
ers of poinsettias, gardenias, orchids,
valley and other more or less easily
damaged blooms. A common but inex-
cusable blunder is to wrap the plant up
well and leave the pot exposed. It is
important to keep the roots as well
as the shoots warm. There are a
few tough subjects which may with-
stand "cold feet," but it is much the
safest way to cover the pot warmly.

Plants which have been forced hard
to get them into bloom should be grad-
ually inured to a lower temperature.

Making Up.

Make up baskets, hampers, pans and
boxes of plants now. Retailers who
have no greenhouses are at a decided
disadvantage when it comes to this
work, as they lack facilities for storing
the necessary compost and, furthermore,
only a small number of retailers have
sufficient practical knowledge of the
growing end to know how to pot a
plant properly or to make up a hamper
or basket in such a way that it will
last as it should. Not only loam but
plenty of damp moss should be on hand.
Often moss can be used altogether and,
being more cleanly and less weighty
than soil, it is not surprising to find it
quite extensively used. Plant arrange-
ments can be either all foliage plants,
all flowering plants or a combinatiom of
the two. Poinsettias grown one ttea
to a pot can be effectively used and •»•
perhaps the best of all plants for tli*
purpose.

The Florists' Review

Poinsettlas.

Poinsettias are among the most pro-
nouncedly Christmas flowers we have
and always meet with a large sale. Be-
ing grown warm, they naturally suffer
severely if we chance to have a cold
wave at the holiday season' and need
special care in wrapping. They are
more easily chilled than any other
Christmas plant and should have a posi-
tion jn the store free from drafts. All
growers are not equally successful in
keeping dark green foliage on their
plants. Ill considered feeding, careless
ventilation and slipshod watering are
responsible for lack of leaves at bloom-
ing time. By the judicious use of small
ferns or asparagus it is possible to cover
up some of the nakedness of defoliated
stems. All making up should be done
forthwith. If the foliage holds green
until your customers receive them they
will not kick. In a few days the leaves
will take on a golden hue, but the bracts
will hold for a long time.

Begonias.

This has been a fine season for be-
gonias and I do not remember seeing
(hem more beautifully flowered. Glory
of Cincinnati easily is the Christmas
leader among the begonias. Good points
in its favor are that it withstands the
trying conditions of the average steam
lieated home much better than Gloire de
Lorraine, which, however, still has
many uses and for basket purposes far
outclasses Cincinnati. Mrs. J. A. Peter-
son is to be seen in considerable num-
bers this season. The contrast between
the bronzy leaves and reddish flowers
makes a various appeal. Gloire de
Chatelaine is a variety anyone can
grow. It blooms the year around and
makes a fine Christmas plant. The
English winter-blooming hybrids are
seen more than a year ago. In size, bril-
liance and effect such varieties as Mrs.
Heal and Optima are far ahead of the
Lorraine type.

All these begonias will be better if
kept moderately cool.

Cyclamens.

Christmas is the season when the bulk
of the cyclamens can be sold, providing
they have been kept warm during the
last two or three months and have a
nice lot of flowers and good foliage. A
well leaved cyclamen has beauty with-
out flowers, but customers will rarely
buy any flowering plant until it is in
bloom. Scarlet, deep pink and crimson
varieties sell well at the holidays;
white plants hang fire until spring, but
it is pretty hard for a lover of nice
blooming plants to refuse to purchase
< yclamens, even though the best may
leither be scarlet nor crimson in color.

Tell your customers to keep their

yclamens somewhat cool and to water

'hem with care; then there is no other

''inter-blooming plant which will flower

^0 long as the cyclamen.

Azaleas.

It looked two or three months ago as
'hough we would have no azaleas ex-
cept the left-overs from last year, but
:t turned out that arrivals have been
More numerous than for several years,
-■^^ong delays on the docks have dis-
"ouraged some importers and caused
onsiderable loss of foliage, while many
were frozen on the railroad. It is
'lecessary this season to force hard to
;ret blooming plants open for the holi-
days. Charles Enke, Mme. Petrick and

Deutsche Perle are a reliable trio for
early blooming. Backward plants
should have vigorous heat and free
syringing, discontinuing it when the
first flowers have opened.

Berried Plants.

Anything carrying red berries sells
well now and there is a fair variety of
material available, including ardisias,
solanums, Christmas peppers, hollies,
aucubas, skimmias, etc. Ardisias, if
well ripened, sell rapidly. It is not pos-
sible to sell these for a low price, as
they are slow growers. On the other
hand, the Jerusalem cherries are easily
and quickly grown and can be sold
quite cheaply. Christmas peppers as
pot plants are less desirable than ar-
disias or aolanums. Their chief value
is for cutting and use in berried ar-
rangements. Imported hollies in tubs,

if well foliaged, in addition to being
well berried, are more attractive than
any other berried plants, but cannot, as
a rule, be sold at retail for less than
$15 to $20 per pair. If they are kept
cool and well watered they will hold
foliage and fruit all winter.

Colored-Leaved Plants.

Colored-leaved plants do not move as
quickly as flowering plants, but in some
respects they give more satisfaction
than the former, for, whereas the bulk
of flowering plants in a steam heated
house are about valueless in eight or
ten days, such colored-leaved plants as
crotons, dracaenas, pandanus, etc., will
keep fresh all winter with reasonable
care. These plants make up nicely in
hampers and baskets. Your customers
should be told to give them a warm
room.

FAVORITES NOW AT CHRISTMAS.

Held Sacred in Ancient Times.

Everyone knows, of course, that holly
and mistletoe are regarded as the spe-
cial emblems of Christmas, the most ap-
propriate of all decorations for the oc-
casion, but why are they so regarded?
A recent issue of the Missouri Botanical
Garden Bulletin gives the best available
answer to that question and supplies
other interesting information about
these favorite decorative materials.

Holly and mistletoe, says the bulletin,
are inseparably associated with the
Christmas season, not only on account
of their beauty and persistence during
the winter months, but because from
earliest times these two plants have, by
tradition, been linked with the life of
Christ. The most plausible origin for
the common name of holly is that it is
a corruption of holy, and the German
name of "Christ thorn" perpetuates the
legend that leaves of this tree were
used to form the "crown of thorns."

Supposed Efficacy of Mistletoe.

The mistletoe, among many other
woods, has frequently been referred to
as the one from which the cross was
made. Previous to the crucifixion — so
runs the legend — it was a splendid for-
est tree, its disgraceful use causing it to
assume its present humble parasitic
habit.

Long before the Christian era, how-
ever, holly and mistletoe were singled
out as plants of special significance. The
Druids styled the mistletoe as "all
heal," as it was considered an antidote
for all disease, and even to the present
day in some localities the virtues of its
wood are highly regarded. In Sweden
a finger ring of mistletoe is supposed to
prevent sickness, and in France amulets
of this plant were much worn. Culpep-
per speaks of mistletoe as ' ' good for the
grief of the sinew, itch and toothache,
the biting of mad dogs and venomous
beasts," and Sir Thomas Brown alludes
to its efficacy in cases of epilepsy.

Ancient Beliefs About Holly.

At Roman weddings, holly wreaths
were sent as tokens of congratulation,
and remarkable stories concerning the
powers of this tree are recorded by
Pliny. In Holland's translation of
Pliny's "Historie of the World," pub-
lished in 1601, is found the following:

"In touching the Holy or Hulver
Tree, if it be planted about an house,
whether it be within a city or standing
in the country, it serveth for a counter-
charm and keepeth away all ill spells or
inchantments and defends the house
from lightning. Pythagoras affirmeth
that the flower of this tree will cause
water to stand all upon an ice, also that
if a staff made thereof, if a man do
fling it at any beast what-so-ever, al-
though it chanceth to light short for
default of strength in his arms who

flung i*, will not-with-standing, etch for-
ward and roll from the place where it
fell upon the earth and approach near
to the beast aforesaid; of so admirable
a nature is the Holy Tree."

Varieties of Holly.

To most people there are but two
kinds of holly, the European, Ilex
Aquifolium, and the American, Ilex
opaca. The botanist, however, recog-
nizes over 175 species, which range from
the north temperate to the south tem-
perate zone and are found on every con-
tinent. Of this number, about fifteen
occur in North America, although only
five of these would be classed as trees,
and but three of the latter are ever-
green. Indeed, a considerable group of
the hollies shed their leaves in the win-
ter, just like other deciduous trees; but
that the evergreen habit was considered
a fixed characteristic of this plant is
well attested by the quaint old English
proverb of the confirmed prevaricator,
of whom it was said: "He lees never
but when the hoUen is green."

Japan and China have thirty or forty
species, some of which are being intro-
duced into this country for ornamental
puposes. The home of the holly, so far
as number of species is concerned, may
be considered to be northern Brazil,
where about half the known forms oc-
cur wild. Europe ha& but a single spe-
cies, but this deficiency is made up by
there being over 150 different varieties
of Ilex Aquifolium — at least they are so
regarded by horticulturists, but there
seems to be some evidence that a part
of these forms may have originated
from the Canary Island species. Ilex
platyphylla, rather than the true Euro-
pean holly.

Holly That Beaxs No Berries.

That oiily some trees bear berries is
due to the fact that in the holly the
sexes are distinct; the female, or pistil-
late flowers, which produce the fruit, oc-
cur on one tree, while the pollen-bearing
flowers are on a separate tree. Care
should be taken, therefore, in planting
hollies desired for the berries, to secure
only female trees. While it is believed
that the first printed notice of this dif-
ference in sex was communicated by
Martyn in the British Eoyal Society
Transactions, about the middle of the
eighteenth century, it must have been
known to the country people long before
this, since the term ' ' he and she
hollies" is quite old. •

Although the usual color of the ber-
ries is red, it is not uncommon to have
varieties in this country and elsewhere
that produce pale yellow fruits, and
even white berries occur occasionally as
a sport.

Economic Uses of Holly.

Economically, aside from its use for
decoration, the holly is useful for fur-
nishing a wood, which, because of its
white color and even texture, is in great
demand for use in carving and scroll-
work. Formerly, when birdlime was in
general use, the inner bark of the holly
furnished the principal source of this
product, and the herbalists of a century
or two ago relied upon this plant for
the cure of many a complaint. Perhaps
one of the most novel remedies was its
application in the cure of chilblains, the
method being to whip the affected part
with freshly gathered holly leaves until
the blood flowed. Ilex Paraguensis,
widely distributed in South America,
furnishes the mate or Paraguay tea and
is in great demand by the natives of
the country in which it is found. The
beverage prepared from the leaves of
this holly has a considerable stimulating
effect, and the drink holds the place of
tea and coffee among the natives.

Mistletoe, Native and Foreign.

As in the case of the holly, so with
the mistletoe, there is a distinct Amer-
ican and European variety. From a
botanical standpoint, the difference be-
tween the two forms of mistletoe is

much greater, since the European plant
belongs to one genus, viscum, and the
American to another, phoradendron.
There are about eleven species of the
American form, widely scattered
through the south and southwest, and
occasionally growing as far north as
New Jersey and Ohio. Several species
have been reported from Missouri, al-
though it is rare.

While ordinarily considered a para-
site, since it always grows upon some
tree, the mistletoe is not strictly such.
Its own leaves are capable of manufac-
turing food, and it is no^ entirely depend-
ent upon its host, as is the case in a
true parasite. The chief contribution
of the host to its unwelcome associate
seems to be water, with certain con-
tained salts, and while the mistletoe
does not directly kill the tree upon
which it is growing, it often dwarfs and
distorts the branch to which it is at-
tached, and may furnish the opportu-
nity for the admission of fungi which
ultimately destroy the tree itself.

Attaching Itself to a Tree.

The distribution of the mistletoe is
almost entirely by birds, the seeds
either being swallowed whole, or, be-
cause of their stickiness, adhering to the
beak or feet, to become dislodged later
on some favorable tree. Tradition lim-
ited this dissemination of the plant to
a single bird, the "mistletoe thrush"
or "misselbird," which was the mes-
senger of the gods. Hence the occur-
rence of mistletoe, particularly on the
oak, was held to be deeply significant.
Many other trees are infested by this
parasite, however; in the southwest the
hackberry, elm, mesquite and osage
orange are the most common hosts.

After the seeds are deposited on the
branch of a tree, they usually begin to
germinate as soon as moisture and tem-'
perature conditions are favorable.
When the root-liive portion comes in con-
tact with the branch, it flattens out,
forming a sucker-like disk. Depending
upon circumstances, there may or may
not be produced from this disk during
the first year a process which penetrates
the bark of the host as far as the wood.
During the second year a single pair of
leaves may be formed, and the "roots,"
by mechanical force and the secretion
of a digestive ferment, continue to ram-
ify the tissues of the tree upon which
the parasite is established.

The mature plants are bushy in ap-
pearance and may reach a height of
three or four feet. The flowers are pro-
'luced in late summer or early fall, so
that the berries are well developed early
in December. Plants of the European
mistletoe have been found which were
•estimated to be 40 years of age, but
it seems probable that the American
variety does not normally attain an age
of more than half this number of years.

WHERE EXTREMES MEET.

Here we have a picture showing an-
cient and modern transportation. The
photograph was made at the establish-
ment of E. A, Beaven, Evergreen, Ala.,
who is seen seated at the wheel in the
touring car. Note the load of holly is

and an ox.

has two objectives. First, he is after
bouquet green and, second, after deer
— but perhaps it should be stated the
other way around, for we have a photo-
graph of the deer and none of the bou-
quet green. It even is rumored that

deer were more plentiful than green in
the Wisconsin woods this season, at
least the hunters found the lycopodium
hard to hit with any shot that resem-
bled the small change which once did
effective work.

Weather, Not War, This Time.

On European battlefields they are us-
ing sphagnum moss for first aid dress-
ings for gunshot wounds, but this has
nothing to do with the jump in the price
of sphagnum to those in this country
who use it as first aid in making funeral
designs.

The sudden tightening of the market
for sphagnum moss is due to the No-
vember cold snap. It has taken tVo or
three weeks for the word to work its
way through the trade, but jobbers in
vsphagnum practically all agree that this
is to bo a season of short supply. In-
deed, some of those who took advance
orders at rather low prices are having
thoir own troubles, to obtain the stock
at a price that will permit them to break
even.

At the Western Source.

City Point, Wis., is the western center
of the supply of sphagnum moss. The
average shipments from that locality are
about fifty carloads per year. It is im-
possible to obtain accurate information
as to how many cars have gone out this
season, but the season is practically over
and the quantity shipped is decidedly
less than usual In the beginning
weather conditions were unfavorable,
there being too much water. Then,
when the season opened, help was scarce
and wages much higher than heretofore.
The season closed much earlier than
usual this year because of the snow and
frost that filled the marshes at the time
of the nation-wide cold wave in No-
vember.

Even before the short supply became
apparent the City Point shippers were
asking higher prices than usual for
sphagnum, basing their requirements,
first, on the cost of labor and, secondly.

on the cost of burlap, which went up
on them from about 3 cents to about (3
cents per yard, forty-two inches in
width.

A City Point shipper, who estimates
the local output at 20,000 bales, says he
will not be surprised to see moss $1 per
bale in car lots f. o. b. shipping station
by May I, 1917, which would be nearly
twice the usual price.

At the Eastern Source.

The eastern center for the supply of
sphagnum is the Barnegat district in
New Jersey. From one shipping point
that usually produces about 4,000 bales
(much larger than the Wisconsin bale)
the shipments this year have been about
normal, but the price has been higher
because of the increased cost of labor
and burlap.

The sphagnum moss business always
has been a hand-to-mouth aflfair. When
the season ends because of the arrival of
winter there is nothing much doing until
spring, no stock of consequence being
carried by those who gather, bale and
ship. Damp moss cannot be stored in
bales, because it quickly heats and rots
the burlap. If it is stored in bulk, it
gathers moisture, becomes diflBcult to
bale and rots out the burlap during a
few days' journey in a freight car.
Consequently the trade now has in hand
nearly all the sphagnum it will get this
season, unless the shortage and conse-
quent high prices produce shipments
from some unexpected source.

Grand Island, Neb.— E. M. Sage says
that the chrysanthemum season was one
of the best ever experienced at the Wil-
liams establishment, all stock having
been cleaned up. Carnations are a lit-
tle late in this section of the country,
due to the long continued dry weather
last summer.

late llowers, which produce tlu; fruit, oc-
cur on one tiee, while the pulleu-bearin^"

TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE.

Next Year's Contracts.

Tlie coal trade considers it highly
significant that the Cambria Steel Co.
has signed a contract to run one year
from January 1, 1917, calling for 30,000
tons of coal per month at $li.60 per ton
at the mines for mine-run coal. This
compares with a price of $1.40 paid by
the same concern for a smaller tonnage
of the same grade of coal for a year
from January 1, 1916.

Within two weeks, contracts are said
to have been signed by users in a va-
riety of trades calling for the delivery,
during 1917, of more than 2,000,000 tons
of coal at a price better than $1 a ton
above the contract figure of 1916.

Today's Market.

"The situation has not changed,"
says- the Black Diamond, the coal
trade's paper, "but people think it has
and prices are a trifle softer."

The mild weather up to December 9
has been a large factor in the feeling
of ease in the coal market, as it made
the consumption of fuel less than nor-
mal for the season, but winter came
almost at the same moment as did an-
nouncement of embargoes on the prin-
cipal railroads east of Chicago, with
the result that demands promptly in-
creased. The indications lead to the
belief that the country is in the midst
of the worst car situation it has ever
seen. Reports indicate a slight easing
of cars in the high volatile district of
West Virginia and at the mines of
eastern Kentucky. However, the cars
in the smokeless district, in the anthra-
cite field, in western Pennsylvania, in
Ohio, in Indiana and Illinois are shorter
than they were two weeks ago, when
the market was at the climax of its
rise.

While prices eased off a little last
week the coal trade felt that it was
only a temporary softening in keeping
with the weather and $4 to $4.25 was
asked for mine-run smokeless at the
mine, which means a price of $6.05 to
$6.30 at Chicago. Mine-run of Frank-
lin county has been held at $3.25 to
$3.50 at the mine, which means $4.30 to
$4.55 delivered in the Chicago district.
Other Indiana and Illinois bituminous
coals are about the same price.
Florists' Experiences.

The mild weather, as long as it lasted,
was distinctly in favor of the growers.
It reduced their requirements and eased
up the demands others made, with the
result that deliveries have been a little
more in accordance with contracts.
Some of the best companies have been
delivering on contracts every pound of
coal that came out of their mines, re-
gardless of the fact that at least twice
as much money was to be had by divert-
ing a part of it to the open market.
Such concerns should have no trouble in
getting business in the future. It has
been the experience of others, however,
that it was possible to get deliveries
only by paying a premium of about $1

per ton above the contract. It seems
cars can be had for coal at a price.

The smaller florists, and the larger
ones who did not make contracts last
spring, are the ones who are hardest
hit, as they not only must worry about
a possible inability to secure fuel as
fast as needed but must pay the
straight market price. There are many
who, with the cost of coal at least dou-
ble what it was last year, will do a hard
season 's work and be lucky to break
even.

The effect of the new demurrage rules
is as yet an unknown quantity. Grow-
ers have been notified that if they do
not unload cars immediately they must
pay demurrage up to $5 per day, or
about 10 cents per ton. The coal trade
asserts it will make it more difficult to
get coal on the open market, which per-
haps will be a distinct gain for the man
who contracts.

INJT7BI0US MINERAL IN WATER.

I am compelled to use mineral water
for my plants or pipe other water a
long distance. Is there anything that I
can put in the water to counteract th«
effect of the mineral? The water ia
extremely hard and seems to injure tke
plants, especially the ferns.

C. E. S.— Wash.

Without knowing just what minerals are
contained in the water, and the amount
of each, we are not able to give any
definite advice. We would suggest re-
ferring the matter to your state experts,
in the chemical department of the State
Agricultural College, Pullman, Wash.

While it would not be feasible to pro-
cure other water for supplying ^all of
the plants in the greenhouses, , it woul4
be possible to collect the drip water, if
a steam heating system is used, and
thus secure enough for watering the
ferns and other plants that are particu-
larly susceptible to injury. We would
suggest that when using the alkali
water, the intervals between waterings
be made as long as possible without in-
jury to the plants, and that about once
a month or six weeks the soil be watered
liberally, so as to wash out the alkali.

T.

SUPPLY DIMINISHING.

Demand Increasing.

In common with practically every-
thing else the grower uses, fertilizers
have advanced in price, but unquestion-
ably they are going much higher.

Cattle manure, formerly the easiest of
fertilizers to obtain, and still without an
equal for florists' use, long has been be-
yond the reach of many growers. Years
ago cattle manure was to be had for
the asking at any of the large stock-
yards of the country. All the florist
need do was to indicate his willingness
to pay the freight on any number of
carloads. Gradually the demand in-
creased until it became easily possible
to get good prices for the material, and
at the same time freights went up to
the point where the delivered cost be-
came a serious item for the grower. This
made the opening for the commercial or
processed fertilizers, which now are the
chief reliance of thousands of florists.

In the last few months there has been
a steady increase in the prices of all
fertilizer ingredients, natural and chem-
ical. It is another case of the war — all
the ills we are heir to nowadays are laid
to Europe's imbroglio. It is the fact,
however, that large quantities of Ger-
man fertilizers now are cut out of the
American market, while freight space
from South America, the principal other
source of SHpply of nitrates, is hard to
get and high in price. The result has
been a largely increased demand for the
slaughter-house fertilizers originating in
this country and for which formerly flo-
rists had little competition.

Manufacturing Costs Rise.

For instance, raw ground bone now is
quoted at New York at from $33 to $38

per ton. Dried blood is $3.40 in the
New York market, but the quotation is
nominal, there being no offers. Tank-
age at Chicago is $2.65 to $2.85. The
stocks on hand have diminished mate-
rially of late and higher prices are prac-
tically certain.

Scarcity of raw material is only one
of the troubles the fertilizer manufac-
turers have encountered in the last few
months. One of their principal difficul-
ties lies in the increased manufacturing
cost; some of them assert it has doubled
during 1916. For instance, laborers who
were getting $1.75 per day now demand
$3 per day and are extremely independ-
ent in their attitude. Commercial fer-
tilizers nearly all are shipped in bags
and this is another of the items that
have jumped clear out of sight.

All these factors combined have re-
sulted in a material advance in the cost
of fertilizers to florists and it is an item
of expense which cannot be eliminated.
A plant is like a horse; if "you do not
feed it, it will cease to work for you.

A point to be borne in mind is that
wherever possible it will be well to lay
in a supply of fertilizers now, before
further advances are made.

La Fayette, Ind. — H. Roth is planning
to leave for California immediately
after Christmas, with the intention of
spending the winter there.

Leavenworth, Kan. — The opening of
the Custom Flower Shop last month, in
its new location on South Fifth street,
was successfully conducted by Mist
Katherine Dicks, the proprietress, who
presented to each customer a carnatioB
bloom. The larger floor space will per-
mit a greater expansion of business, bet-
ter handling of orders and the stocking
of a larger and more complete line •!
baskets and other supplies.

IF IT WEEE ONLY MOTHERS' DAY!

At Fairbury, 111., Kring Bros., who
ship their flowers to the Chicago mar-
ket, have three houses, 30x300, in car-
mations. Two houses are of White En-
ehantress and those who have visited
the place this month say they never
have seen a larger crop. The accom-
panying illustration shows how one of
the houses of White Enchantress looked
December 7. In addition to an abun-
ilant crop, the quality is excellent.

RED SPIDER CONTROL.

Having of late discovered signs of
the red spider in our carnation benches,
and as fumigation seemingly is of no
avail, we write to inquire if there is
any really eflfective treatment for the
elimination of this pest. We know that
red spiders will not thrive where spray-
ings are frequent, but this method pro-
duces carnation rust in our houses.

We are informed that by vaporizing
sulphur we may rid the plants of the
spiders, and with this in view we have
purchased two Campbell vaporizers. As
yet we have not tried this remedy, as
we do not see how it can be successful.
Will vaporized sulphur do the trick as
claimed — kill the red spider? If not,
what is the most sure cure you know of.

S. R. J.— Can.

We have never employed sulphur
fumes to destroy the red spider, but we
have no reason to doubt the efficacy of
that remedy. The principal objection
to vaporizing sulphur in a greenhouse
with growing crops is the danger of in-
juring the plants. The device you men-
tion is designed to eliminate this dan-
ger, so why not try it? We depend on
salt water for keeping the spider in
check and have splendid results. If the
sulphur does not prove satisfactory, get
one of Evans' salt sprayers and use it
regularly once each week, after you
have the pest under control. Two or
three applications each week will not
harm the plants, but more than one ap-
plication is not necessary after the
spiders are cleaned out. A. F. J. B.

' 'WILD GROWTH' ' IN CARNATIONS.

We would like to have you inform
us what is the trouble with our carna-
tions. The plants seem to bo top-heavy.
The young shoots, instead of coming out
at the bottom, crop out at the top and
cause the plants to bend over. The
growths are exceedingly soft and rank-
g^-owing, and the plants do not yield
so many blooms as they should. As
yet we have not applied nitrate of soda,
•r anything else. The plants were
benched during the later part of July.
A temperature of 45 to 50 degrees has
Ween maintained. L. C. — Mo.

among carnation growers as ' ' wild
growth." This trouble causes the
plants to make an abnormal quantity of
foliage and young shoots close to the
flowering stems, retarding the flower-
ing and in aggravated cases stopping
the production of blooms altogether. To
the uninitiated, there is a strong temp-
tation to take many cuttings from such
plants, when there are only a few scat-
tered through a bench, and the failure
of the plants to bloom may not be no-
ticeable in the total cut. As every one
of these cuttings will produce a similar
plant the next season, it can readily
be seen that the increase of this kind of
plants will be entirely out of proportion
to the rest. There is no remedy for
this, except to avoid these plants when
propagating your next season's stock.
The plants will finally bloom, but it
will be late in the season and the qual-
ity will be inferior and the yield short
in numbers. A. F. J. B.

THE DISEASE IS BRANCH-ROT.

I am sending you a sample carnation
plant. The variety is Nebraska. Fifty
per cent of our plants of this variety
have from time to time wilted and died.
Can you diagnose the case? We do
not think the disease can be stem-rot,
as we never had a case of this in the
houses. We take virgin soil from the
vicinity of a lime quarry and have not
seen a single ease of stem-rot during the
twenty-five years we have taken our
soil from that location. The Ne-
braskas are the only plants in the
house that have gone this way. They
have received precisely the same treat-
ment as the other plants, which do not
show a blemish. R. M. G. — Mont.

It was not d'flicult to see what ailed
your ))lants. They are affected with
the disease known as branch-rot. This
fungous disease does not act like ordi-
narj' stem-rot. Instead of destroying
the plant quickly by rotting the bark
around the stem, it seems to work

more slowly and usually destroys a
branch at a time. It is no easier to
combat than the other, as a plant, once
it is attacked, will usually succumb
sooner or later. By the time a branch
dies off, you will generally find most
of the channels pretty well clogged and
then the ruin of the plant is only a
question of time. The best plan is to
pull up all such plants and burn them.

A. F. J. B.

FAIRY RING CURE DIFFICULT.

Under another cover we are mailing
you some leaves affected with a disease
that is attacking our carnations. The
trouble was first found on Champion,
but now it is spreading to Herald and
Philadelphia and is even crossing an
18-inch walk to a bed of Beacon car-
nations. The leaves seem to dry at the
ends and when a plant is affected the
leaves droop. What is the disease and
what remedial measures do you recom-
mend? S. B.— Idaho.

You have a bad case of fairy ring,
and at this time of the year you will
need to adopt heroic measures to get it
under control. This disease, like all the
carnation spot diseases, is caused by ex-
cessive humidity and foul atmosphere in
the house. This should give you your
cue — maintain just the opposite condi-
tions in your endeavors to effect a cure.
At this time of the year it is harder to
fight these spot diseases than early in
the fall, when the summer heat has
passed off and the weather still is
mainly clear and the atmosphere dry.
Go over the plants first and pick off as
many of the spotted leaves as possible.
Then spray the plants thoroughly with
Bordeaux mixture once every ten days.
Paint one of the steam pipes with sul-
phur and lime made into a thick paint.
Renew this treatment about once each
week. Water the plants moderately and
maintain a bracing atmosphere by ab-
staining from unnecessary syringing.
Give the plants liberal ventilation at
every favorable occasion. In mild
weather, run a steam pipe or two, with
the ventilators open, rather than close
the ventilators and shut off steam.

A PURE WHITE DEAN.

The accompanying illustration shows
a house of a new chrysanthemum at the
establishment of C. T. Guenther, Ham-
burg, N. y., said to be a pure white
Maud Dean. Dean has held its place
for many years, because it is easy to
handle and gives an unusually high
percentage of perfect flowers. The so-
called White Maud Dean also is popu-
lar, but it has one fault: it is not pure
white but has more or less of a laven-
der tinge. Four years ago Mr. Guen-
ther found a plant which produced a
pure white flower. Cuttings were taken
and the flowers from the sport kept the
same pure white color. Mr. Guenther
now has ^several thousand plants in
bloom.

The variety will be called Hamburg
Late White. It has been grown for
three years and almost every bud has
produced a good commercial flower.
When taken on a late bud it is in flower
during December and the early part of
January. The keeping qualities are said
to be excellent.

Mr. Guenther has made an arrange-
ment whereby the variety will be dis-
seminated by the Wm. F. Kasting Co.
and the E. G. Hill Co.

LATE PINKS AND YELLOWS.

I want a late pink and a late yellow
chrysanthemum that will come in with
J. Nonin. Will you kindly name some
good late sorts that are also easy doers?

C. C. M.— Ky.

The best late pink mum coming into
flower about Thanksgiving, with Jeanne
Nonin, is W. T. Brock. One of the best
late yellows is Dolly Dimple. When
planted late, Nagoya is also an excellent
late yellow. Yellow Chadwick is quite
late as a rule, though most people grow
it for Thanksgiving. We can recom-
mend any of these as likely to give
satisfaction. Chas. H. Totty.

SPOT DISEASE ON MUMS.

I should like to know what is the mat-
ter with the foliage on the enclosed
mums. The disease started early in the
summer, attacking some varieties so
badly as to make them worthless, while
other varieties were not affected at all.
When the disease was first noticed I
tried to stop it by keeping the plants
dry and this dryness was the cause of
the thrips which you will find on the
mums sent you. The disease, however,
was not due to the thrips, but began
l)efore the thrips appeared. If you can
tell me anything about this disease I
shall be grateful, as some of the mums
are unsalable owing to the spotted con-
dition of the foliage. W. H. — Can.

The disease on the foliage of the
mums submitted is caused by the fungus
known as septoria, which has often been
spoken of in this column. Septoria
starts in the summer, when the growth
l)egin9 to get heavy and the plants be-

come crowded to a greater or less ex-
tent. When the trouble is first noticed,
a solution of sulphide of potassium, di-
luted in the proportion of one ounce to
a gallon of water and faithfully sprayed
on the leaves which are covered with
these spores, will usually keep this dis-
ease in check. The bottom leaves can
be removed from the plant without in-
juring it, as long as it is growing well.
If this is done in the early stages and
the potassium spray is used, no harm
will be done to the plants by this dis-
ease. Chas. H. Totty.

TBOUBLE WITH LATE MXTMS.

We grew Wells' Late Pink and Mis-
tletoe mums this year. We were unable
to grow Wells' Late Pink to a single
stem, no matter which bud we took.
Mistletoe produced good flowers, but
they were weak in the neck. Which is
the proper bud to take and when is the
right time to plant these two varieties?

N. F. C— la.

*

I do not grasp the inquirer 's meaning
where he says he was unable to grow
Wells' Late Pink to a single stem, no
matter which bud he took. It is not
more difficult to get Wells' Late Pink
on a single stem than any other variety.
This is done by pinching off the super-
fluous shoots and continuing to do so,
from the main stalk, until the flowering
period. The proper time to take the
bud on Wells' Late Pink is September
10 and onwards. Buds showing before
that time, while they will come, are a
dirty pink and are not satisfactory.

As regards the planting period, mums
planted about June 1 will be better
than those planted later. They will
have a longer growing period and yield
more satisfactory flowers. Mistletoe I
have seen doing well when planted late
in July. As to this variety coming

weak in the neck, I think this is largely
a question of soil and climatic condi-
tions. I assume that N. F, C. lacks lime
in his soil, since there do not seem to
be any complaints from other sections
that Mistletoe has a weak neck.

Do not set the plants too closely in
the benches when planting, and once or
twice during the season give them a
good dressing of lime. This should aid
materially in strengthening the growth
and neck of Mistletoe and other varie-
ties. Chas. H. Totty.

CHBYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Work of tbe Committees,

The examining committees of the
C, S. A. have submitted reports on new
varieties as follows:

At Cincinnati, December 2, December Queen,
yellow shaded bronze, Japanese Incurved, sub-
mitted by Elmer D. Smith A Co., Adrian, Mich.,
scored as follows on the commercial scale: Color,
19; form, 13; fullness, 9; stem, 14' foliage, 12:
substance, 13; size, 9; total, 89.

At Cincinnati, December 2, The Crest, white,
anemone, submitted by Klmer D. Smith & Co.,
Adrian, Mich., scored as follows: Color, 35;
form, 16; substance, 16; stem and foliage, 18;
total, 85.

Department of Begistration.

The following varieties have been
registered with the raiser's description:

Mrs. Francis G. Lloyd — Pure white anemone
on the order of Garza, larger flower, wider petals
and considerably taller in growth.

Mrs. Owen Winston — Clear yellow Vith bripht
orange center, outer petals perfectly straight,
plant a strong grower, tall and healthy habit.

Mrs. Chas. S. Whitman — Lavender pinlc with
a center of light cream yellow, an exceptionally
fine variety.

Chas. W. Johnson, Sec'y.

Macy, Ind, — Mrs. J, Elmer Landis,
starting as an amateur, has become a
professional florist, growing peonies and
asters for the Chicago wholesale mar-
ket. Such an excellent measure of suc-
cess was achieved in 1916 that the pro
duction will be considerably increase<l
for 1917,

Bismarck, N. D. — The florists' busi-
ne'ss is conducted in combination with
almost every other occupation of man,
but probably the Hoskins Floral Co. is
the only Keview subscriber which han-
dles flowers, plants, victrolas, Victor
records, Eastman kodaks and does pho-
tographic finishing.

POCKETT TALKS SHOP

An Interview with the World^s Leading Raiser of New Mums

It is said 80% of the chrysanthemums staged at the autumn flower shows
in America are varieties raised by T. W. Pockett at East Malvern, Australia

IHETHER or not a census of
the shows would prove that
more than three-fourths of
the exhibition mums shown
in this country are varieties
originated by Thomas W.
Pockett, certain it is that
there is no man in the world who has to
his credit so large a list of meritorious
iutroductions. That the genius which
has resulted so well for the trade is not
likely soon to be extinguished is shown
by the fact that Miss Louisa Pockett,
a daughter, and William Pockett, a son,
liave also shown great aptitude for the
cultivation of chrysanthemums. The
faculty appears to be one of special
family inherence.

A Success in Both Hemispheres.

It was one of Mr. Pockett 's early
assertions that the chrysanthemum is
adaptable to conditions in every coun-
try, and sufficiently vigorous to bloom
equally well in both hemispheres. The
soundness of that contention has been
demonstr ated, and
jilants raised from
seeds in East Malvern
S^ive satisfaction wher-
ever they are distrib-
uted. A notable in
stance is that of Wil-
liam Turner. If Mr.
Pockett did no more
than create this popu-
lar variety, it would
he sufficient to entitle
him to special distinc-
tion. The flower is
now as well known in
Great Britain and
America as in Austra-
lia.

When seen among his
favorite mums April
15, for mums bloom in
Australia while it is
spring in America, Mr.
Pockett claimed a mo-
ment's indulgence for
t)ie purpose of refer-
ring to the death of
W. Wells, the famous
British specialist. In
some notes to Mr.
Pockett, after it was
known that death was
near, Mr. Wells said :
"The latest seedlings
of yours are the best
you ever raised. Your
•1 81, Alice Benson, is
the finest formed
flower I ever saw.
i^eedMng L 113, Louisa
Pockett, is wonderful.
You could not have

given J 54, Golden Champion, a better
name. It is good in every way."

"On the subject of new varieties,"
said Mr. Pockett, "years ago a large
proportion of the seedlings of that
period were considered good enough to
keep. Now it is not possible to obtain
one in a thousand that will conform to
the type demanded.

Systematic Hybridizing.

"Take whites, for instance. I have
raised William Turner, Alice Benson,
Lady Ferguson, Anzac and Louisa
Pockett. These represent all the types
of Japanese chrysanthemums from one
cross. Can I hope to improve on them
without introducing new strains? I say
no. That cross has produced from the
many thousands saved all that are
likely to be of the highest standard.

"All our best results," continued Mr.
Pockett, "are obtained by selecting
plants for seed and plants for pollen.
That is where systematic selection
comes in. By applying the pollen with a

Thomas W. Pockett.

camel 's-hair brush there is a chance of
securing good seed. But unless the flow-
ers are carefully protected there is every
likelihood that a large proportion of the
seeds will become cross fertilized with
other varieties than those selected.
Bees, wind and many kinds of insects
carry pollen from one flower to another,
and that must be guarded against;
otherwise the parentage of the seeds
will be completely lost and the result is
not likely to be satisfactory.

"The seed of single chrysanthemums
is usually ripe about the end of June,
in Australia. That of other sorts does
not mature until August.

Saving and Sowing the Seed.

"Seed vessels should be gathered
when dry and spread out for several
days in a dry part of the plant house.
Toward the end of August the seeds
should be rubbed out and sown in pots,
boxes or nursery beds specially prepared
to receive seeds for germination. The
following method we find effective:
Place boards four
inches wide and an
inch thick on edge, so
as to enclose whatever
space is conside red
large enough. At the
bottom of the enclo-
sure thus formed put
an inch of charcoal or
coarse sand, then one
and one-half inches of
sandy loam. Make it
firm and level.* In this
sow the seeds by press-
ing them in with a
smooth tile. Over the
seed bed thus formed
there should be placed •
a covering of about
one-eighth of an inch
of dry sand that has
been previously washed
and sifted. The seeds
will germinate in two
or three weeks. A
sheet of glass over the
bed will protect the
seeds and materially
assist g e r m i n a tion.
When there are signs
of growth the young
plants must be given
fresh air gradually un-
til they are strong
enough to do without
the glass covering. As
soon as they are fit to
handle, the seedlings
may be transfe rred
from the nursery bed
into the garden, or
grown on in pots and

shifted later, as circumstances appear
to demand.

' ' In the production of exhibition flow-
ers," continued Mr. Pockett, "cuttings
are put into a bed, as described, with
tlie exception that there is one and one-
half inches of sand on top instead of an
eighth of an inch. The cuttings are in-
serted in August or September. In a
situation with an easterly aspect there
is no necessity for a glass covering.

Growing Exhibition Flowers.

' ' In raised beds tlie drainage is more
perfect than in level areas. Hardwood
boards six inches deep and an inch
thick, on the sides and ends, will make
a bed two feet six inches or three feet
in width, and as long as is considered
necessary. This affords ample space for

two rows of plants. The plants may be
fifteen inches or eighteen inches apart
in the rows, and a similar distance may
separate the rows. Rather heavy soil
gives the petals better substance than
light loam.

"To get the best results, the flower
buds of each variety must be selected
at the proper time. In ordinary sea-
sons, the bud of William Turner is
taken about February 16. Growers must
bear in mind that the doubling of petals
is controlled largely by the earliness of
the bud. As against this, however, it
requires to be pointed out that those
which are naturally late, with a com-
paratively full flower on late buds, are
usually a failure if selected on early
buds. ' '

To Keep Poinsettias from Wilting.

The question is frequently asked how
to prevent cut poinsettias from wilting.
Where they are benched, it is a good
plan to lower the temperature a little
before cutting is done. This helps to
harden them. Have a pail of water at
as near the boiling point as possible
to dip the ends of the shoots in as they
are cut, to stanch the bleeding, or the
ends can be seared with a red-hot iron
or coal. If the ends are not seared, the
bracts are pretty sure to wilt. Stand
the cut poinsettias in deep vases of
water. Wrap up the foliage in sheets
of soft paper before immersing. Do
not place them in an. ordinary refriger-
ator. This is too cold; 4.5 to 50 degrees
suits them better.

Camellias.

It is good to see how camellias, tlio

old-time favorites, have come again.
More than ever they are being offered
this Christmas. Great care is needed
when packing these to protect the flow-
ers with cotton wool and tissue paper
to prevent bruising. These plants dis-
like warm treatment. Grow them cool,
with plenty of air, and well exposed
to the light, or it will be but a short
time until all the buds have dropped.

Ericas.

Ericas stand quite cold treatment
with impunity. They have one grand
point in their favor, viz.: when the
flowers fade they do not fall off. The
])lants withstand the dry, overheated
conditions of the living room better
than most others. Be sure that they do
not suffer from want of water. Ericas,
in common with azaleas, boronias and
other hard-wooded plants, have fine.

hairlike roots and a thorough . drying
out will mean loss of vitality if not
death.

Protecting Outdoor Boses.

It now is time to give the necessary
winter protection to outdoor roses, or,
as they are usually called, hardy roses.
However, these are not hardy in the
same degree as lilacs, peonies, phloxes
or German irises. A few varieties may
be exceptions, but the overwhelming
majority are likely to be winter-killed
in our northerly states unless they are
carefully protected. There is no better
covering for hybrid teas and hybrid
perpetuals than earth drawn up about
the stems before the ground freezes.
Over this a coating of strawy manure
can be placed. Cut back any long
shoots somewhat and pull the plants
together with soft twine before cover-
ing them.

In extremely cold latitudes I would
advise lifting and storing hybrid teas
in coldframes or a cold cellar, or even
burying them outdoors in any well
draiiied piece of ground. The same
process should be followed with the
standard or tree roses. Rambler roses,
where liable to winter-kill, should be
cut loose, laid down and covered with
leaves or some other mulch. If this is
done they will winter in fine shape.

Erlangea Tomentosa.

Erlangea tomentosa is one of the fin-
est additions to winter-flowering plants
we have had of late years. E. tomen-
tosa, while a native of tropical Africa,
flourishes splendidly in a cool green-
house, succeeding as well in a minimum
of 45 degrees as in one 5 degrees
warmer. It is closely allied to eupa-
toriums; in fact, the pretty mauve
heads of flowers are suggestive of both
eupatoriums and agexatums. The foli-
age is sweetly scented and the flowers
themselves have a pleasing odor. Its
value as a cut flower I have yet to
prove, but there is no question as to its
value as a pot plant. It is of rapid
growth and cuttings taken as late as
•inly 1 have made bushy plants in 6-
inch and 7-inch pots. The plants flower
for several months and can be had for
Thanksgiving, Christmas or later, ac-
cording to how late the pinching is
continued. This new plant is worthy
the attention of all florists who make
a specialty of pot plants.

Euphorbia Jacquinlseflora.

Euphorbia jacquinlseflora, the beauti-
ful Christmas plant, now is opening its
flowers. It likes a sunny house and a
temperature of 5.5 degrees at night;
also, it prefers a somewhat dry at-
mosphere. While less common than the
poinsettia, which also is a euphorbia
botanically, its long, arching shoots,
closely clustered with rich, orange-red
flowers, are attractive and the market
is insufficiently supplied with it. A
common error is to dry off the stock
plants like the common poinsettia. If
this is done the plants are sure to die.
Keep them moderately dry, but not
(lust-dry, after flowering.

^^^ a consider-
able party is to sit at ta-

is to have a long, straight board with
guests on each side. Then the florist merely
has to put on flowers in proportion to the money placed
at his disposal. But another iiind of arraa gemect for w hich
the florist's services are essential is where the tables are arranged in
the form of a square or a parallelogram, the guests being seated on the out-
side only. In such a case there are two standard treatments; the florist

side with smilax, wild or cultivated, or he -may fill the inner space wiih

as it might look to make a good

the other of two horns of this dilemma:
Either he makes his group flat and bunchy or
else he makes ihe plants stand so high that they

Place of Meeting in 1917 — Chicago.

J. Barnet, of Sewickley, Pa., an-
nounced that Pittsburgh would be a can-
didate for the 1918 convention.

The Business Sessions.

The annual convention of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners was
held in Washington, D. C, December 5
and 6. The first business session was
called to order by William F. Gude,
Washington 's representative of the
S. A. F., who spoke as representing the
Washington Chamber of Commerce and
the florists of the city. His remarks
were enthusiastically received.

President William N. Craig made a
brief address, striking the keynote when
he said: "We will make our sessions
as short as circumstances will permit,
in order that we may have more time to
enjoy the architectural and other fea-
tures of interest so abundantly spread
before us."

The secretary 's report, showing an in-
crease in the membership of nearly 300

and the suspension of 132 for non- pay-
ment of dues, was read and approved.
The treasurer's report, showing a bal-
ance in bank of $2,094, was well re-
ceived. Reports were submitted by the
national cooperative committee, W. N.
Craig, chairman; the committee on
meritorious exhibits, William Klein-
heinz, chairman, and the committee on
bird protection and propagation, L. P.
•Jensen, chairman, all indicating activ-
ity within the association.

Secretary Ebel referred to the neces-
sity for suitable representation at the
national capital and suggested that
George W. Hess, superintendent of the
botanic gardens and a director of the
association, would prove a most capable
ropresentativo. His unanimous election
followed.

W. F. Gude was elected an honorary
member.

Printing the proceedings of the an-
nual meeting, yearly reports of commit-
tees, eti'., in special pamphlet form was
moved, but owing to the present high
cost of publication, it was decided to de-
fer action on it.

Dr. F. L. Mulford, of the Department
of Agriculture, twice addressed the con-
vention with reference to the work the
department is doing that should inter-
est private gardeners and enlist their
support.

Sight-seeing Trips.

Automobiles conveyed the visitors
through Potomac park, around the Lin-
coln memorial, and across the river to
Arlington cemetery and to the old Lee

mansion. The Arlington farm of the
Department of Agriculture was visited,
where the various matters referred to
by Dr. Mulford at the morning session
were pointed out. Fort Meyer was then
visited, with the return through George-
town and out to the Bureau of Stand-
ards, where a highly interesting demon-
stration of liquid air was witnessed.
The party then proceeded to Rock
Creek park and the National Soldiers'
Home, returning to the hotel at .'5
o'clock, where they became luncheon
guests of W. F. Gude. At the conclu-
sion of the luncheon the party reentered
the automobiles and visited some of the
large florists' establishments around
Washington.

Next day the convention party visited
the U. S. Botanic Gardens, where they
were received by Supt. George W. Hess,
and proceeded to Mt. Vernon, where a
wreath was placed on Washington 'a
tomb, with a few fitting remarks by Ex-
president Kleinheinz, who officiated in
the absence of President Craig. The
home of Washington was next visited,
where the party was photographed. The
capitol was visited and the Senate, the
House of Representatives and the Su-
preme Court were seen in session. Fol
lowing a visit to the Congressional Li
brary the party proceeded to the De-
partment of Agriculture, where an in-
spection of the greenhouses and other
departments proved of much interest.

The general interest in the business
sessions, the cordial hospitality of Wil-
liam F. Gude, George W. Hess, and their
colleagues among the florists and other
business men of Washington, together
with the ideal weather, made the 1916
convention of the National Association
of Gardeners a pronounced success.

Chlllicothe, O.— The Chillicothe Floral
Co. has been reorganized with the fol-
lowing members: S. T. Yaple, W. F.
Gunther, Edward Merkle, Frank
Mathias, V. Manly Acton, J. P. Phillips,
Jr., and Fred Kramer. Mr. Kramer
has been made business manager of the
concern and Robert Rhinehart superin-
tendent of the range.

AT CHICAGO.

The Annual Election.

December 7 was the annual election
night of the Chicago riorists * Olub, the
members of which are especially char-
acterized by their modesty; nearly all
the nominees at the November meeting
sent letters of declination, including
both nominees for president. The club
voted to lay all such communications on
the table and proceeded to ballot, with
the following result:

For president — W. H. Amling, 25;
Fred Lautenschlager, 17.

For vice-president — Paul E. Klings-
porn, 28; Emil Eeichling, 12; N. P. Mil-
ler, 2.

For treasurer — Otto Amling, 18; M.
Barker, 12; E. Meurett, 11.

For secretary — Allie Zech, 26; Guy
W. French, 15.

For trustee — W. J. Keimel, 18; Alex.
Henderson, 13; August Jurgens, 9.

No candidate for treasurer or trustee
having a majority of all votes cast, a
second ballot was necessary under the
by-laws, with the result that Messrs.
Amling and Keimel were elected.

Visitors and Exhibits.

Charles T. Johnson and Alfred Torch-
iani were elected to membership and
applications were received from W. J.
Palmer, of Berwyn, 111., and Thomas
Heaven, of Benton Harbor, Mich. Mr.
Heaven was present and made a speech.
Other visitors were A. F. J. Baur, of
Indianapolis, and Clarence Watson, of
Philadelphia. Mr. Baur spoke of new
carnations and of the approaching In-
dianapolis carnation convention. He
pointed out that last year, at the St.
Louis exhibition, growers east of the
Alleghenies made as many entries as
did all the west, and they captured half
the premiums. He said he hoped the
western growers will be decidedly more
in evidence this year. Mr. Watson de-
voted most of his remarks to the Eus-
sell rose, saying that he was surprised
to find the variety holding such an im-
portant place in the Chicago market,
as it is little seen in the east. He said
he thinks the conspicuous success Chi-
cago growers are making with the va-
riety will have the eflfect of causing a
number of good eastern growers to give
Russell another and more adequate
trial.

The exhibits of the evening included
a vase of Eussell on 4-foot stems grown
by French & Salm, at Union Grove,
Wis., of a quality, that seemed to leave
nothing to be desired. As the rose
never had been scored by a Chicago
committee. President Henderson ap-
pointed Ernst Amling, David Lundin
and George Asmus to perform this func-
tion. The total they gave was ninety-
two points. Other exhibits were splen-
did vases of Merry Christmas and Pol-
lyanna carnations from Baur & Stein-
kamp, Indianapolis, and two plants of
an unnamed begonia from J. E.
Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis. The
Merry Christmas, scarlet, were especial-
ly fine, and Pollyanna, deep flesh pink,

showed excellent color, but both vari-
eties had previously been scored by the
club. The Sheboygan begonia, as well
as the carnations, received the thanks*
of the club.

F. Hunt, son of the Evanston florist,
sang for the club and there were the
usual refreshments.

AT NEW YORK.

Betailers Win Election.

The perpetual contest between the
wholesale and retail sections of the
trade was carried into the election of
officers for the New York Florists' Club
December 11 and this time the retailers

won. The nominating committee had
planned contests all along the line, but
many nominees withdrew, leaving the
contest for the presidency to G. E. M.
Stumpp, who had the endorsement of
the retailers' association, and Charles
Schenck, who had the backing of the
wholesalers and of nine past presidents.
Secretary Young and Treasurer Eick-
ards were left without opposition. The
balloting resulted:

For president — G. E. M. Stumpp, 98;
Charles Schenck, 84.

For vice-president — J. H. Fieser, 85;
P. W. Popp, 83; W. G. Badgley, 13.

For trustee — E. J. Irwin, 162; John
Canning, 123; A. Kottmiller, 118.

The. attendance was the largest in the
history of the club and the contests,
though spirited, were with the utmost
good fellowship. Walter Sheridan was
judge of election and Charles Knight
and Joseph Manda tellers.

Charles L. Tricker and Henry H. Dyer
were elected to membership and Mar-
shall Clarke, Carl C. Eeck, L. A. Dupuy
and A. Van Praag were proposed.

CHICAGO'S PRESIDENT ■

W. H. AMLING.

AFTER twenty-one years as a school teacher at Milwaukee, W. H. Amling,
the newly elected president of the Chicago Florists' Club, returned to his
birthplace, Maywood, 111., and started in the florists' business with such signal
success that neighboring growers promptly quoted him the German proverb
which, freely translated, is: "The most ignorant farmers always grow the
biggest potatoes." Mr. Amling, however, says he owes the excellent start he
made to the assistance given him by his two brothers, E. C. Amling, Chicago
wholesaler, and A. F. Amling, Maywood grower. W. H. Amling now has two
separate ranges, 75,000 feet of glass, specializing on sweet peas, but growing
several other crops well. His three sons, Walter, Herbert and Martin, engaged
in business with him, all are members of the Chicago Florists' Club.

An appropriation of $200 was made
for the premium list of the American
Gladiolus Society, which meets here in
August. It was reported the cost of
ladies' night was $286.30.

The club's membership in the S. A. F.
now exceeding 100, application was
made for an aflSliation directorship for
President Stumpp.

Considerable discussion occurred over
the case of Charles Lenker, of Freeport,
one of the club's members, accused of
an insult to the American flag. The
matter was laid over until the meeting
January 8.

Geo. T. Schuneman showed a vase of
his winter-flowering sweet peas. Badg-
ley & Bishop staged a yellow seedling
rose grown by Ed. Towill, of Koslyn,
Pa., and the rose Little Gem. Some
excellent carnations were shown by A.
N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., in-
cluding Nancy, flesh pink, Nebraska,
red, and Arawana, crimson. The W. F.
Kasting Co., Buffalo, exhibited a large
late mum of fine quality, Hamburg Late
White. A. Demeusy, Sr., showed a fine
sport of Enchantress. Charles L. Tricker
brought some winter-flowering begonias
and Jas. Foster, Stamford, Conn., had
seedlings, yellow and white, of single
chrysanthemums.

Interesting addresses were made by
Messrs. Stumpp, Schenck, Fieser, Eick-
ards, Irwin, Kottmiller and Young, the
latter having served twenty-six years
as secretary.

The serious illness of P. L. Bogart
and W. H. Long was reported and mes-
sages of good cheer sent.

Joseph Hildenbrand and his commit-
tee «erved a turkey luncheon. Among
those present were Anton Schultheis, of
Scranton, Pa., and George Stumpp, Sr.,
the latter having been in Germany the
last two years. J. A. S.

BEAMPTON, ONT.

Monday, December 18, begins tlie
liusiest and biggest holiday trade ever
experienced by florists of Canada. Or-
ilers coming in are larger than ever,
the heavy demand for Mo, 1 Beauties
and orchids being far in- Excess of the
supply. Prices are necessarily higher
all around, but the quality of all the
stock is rather above that of former
years.

Excellent holly and boxwoods and
other greens from Delaware and the
southern states have been much sought
after this season, and novelties of all
kinds are more to the front than usual.

Eepresentatives from large wholesale
houses in New York have been in this
neighborhood during the last week, try-
ing to buy up stock for the New York
market for Christmas, but the demand
throughout the Dominion is so keen
that there is little likelihood of any
stock being exported this year.

Florists have had rather a disappoint-
ment in connection with azaleas. Most
of the plants have been a long time in
transit and cannot possibly be flowered
in time for the Christmas trade.

GENISTAS FOE EASTEE.

Please tell me what treatment to give

Easter. H. E. M.— Pa.

NEW YORK'S PRESIDEDNT

O. E. M. STUMPP.

THE leading characteristic of G. E. M. Stumpp 's education and career seems
to be an intense and thorough practicality, a characteristic that should fit
him well both for the management of his business and for the prosecution
of his duties in the office to which he has just been elected, that of president of the
New York Florists' Club. Born in New York, May 28, 1881, and educated in
private schools and in the New York Business College, he then worked as a book-
keeper for various firms. This general business training was followed by an ex-
tensive experience in the employ of retail florists in different parts of the country,
including Habermehl's Sons, of Philadelphia, and Samuelson, of Chicago. After
spending ten years in his father's store in New York, he took charge of the estab-
lishment in 1914 as his father's successor. He will head the local club during the
visit of the S. A. F. next August.

February, in a temperature of 50 de-
grees at night. Do not subject them to
any higher temperatures than those
mentioned, or the flowers will be lack-
ing ent?i-ely in substance. C. W.

TEMPEEATUEE FOE FOUE CEOPS.

What is the proper temperature for
a house in which lettuce, carnations,
sweet peas and snapdragons are grown?
I have been running my house about
45 to 50 degrees at night and 60 to 70
degrees in the daytime. Is this correct?

A. E. S.— la.

ward, and carnations 50 to 52 degrees.
A day temperature of 55 to 60 degrees
when cloudy and 10 degrees higher with
sunshine is all right. C. W.

PANSIES UNDEE SNOW.

I have 100,000 pansies that were cov-
ered with about ten inches of snow be-
fore the ground froze. If this snow
does not thaw soon, would it be best to
mulch over the snow? Will the pansies
winter as well without the mulch if the
snow remains? C. A. P. — Me.

Place your plants in a cool green-
house early in January. They will be
in bloom for Easter if you give them
a temperature of 42 to 45 degrees at
night; or you can start them early in

You are giving your lettuce, carna-
tions, snapdragons and sweet peas as
good a temperature as possible. If
each item were grown alone, I would
give the lettuce 48 degrees, snapdragons
46 to 50 degrees, sweet peas 45 degrees
before flowering and 50 degrees after-

Do not worry about the pansies. If
the snow remains it will make an ideal
mulch. The real damage to the plants
comes from alternate freezing and
thawing in late spring. I would not
mulch over the snow. Wait until the
ground is bare, as it probably will be
soon, the first snowfall having come ab-
normally early this season. C. W.

I'lisiest and biggest holiday trade e\ei

the heavy d(>mand for No. 1 Beauties
and orchids being far in excess of the
supply. I'riccs are necessarily higher
.all around, but the quality of all the
stock is rather above that of former
vears.

Fxcellent holly and boxwoods and
other greens from Itelaware ;ind the

.after this season, and novelties of ;ill
kinds are more to the front than usual.

Rejiresentatives from large wlndesale

neighborhood during the last week, try-
ing to buy \ip stock for the New York
marlcet for Christmas, but tlu^ demand
throughout the Dominion is so keen
Th.'it there is little likeliliood of any
s*ock being exported this year.

I'iorists have had rather a disappoint-

of the jilants have been a long time in

OBITUARY

Ernest Walker.

Ernest Walker, for «everal years a
member of the faculty of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, at Auburn, Ala.,
where he held the chair of horticulture,
died at his home at Boiling, Ala., Decem-
ber 7, after a brief illness.

Professor Walker was born at
Brownstown, Ind., November 12, 1862.
He was the son of the late F, Walker,
who until his death was senior member
of the nursery and florists' business of
the F. Walker Co., at Louisville, Ky.,
which now is being conducted by the
decedent's brothers. The decedent ac-
quired an early practical knowledge of
plants and flowers and was superintend-
ent of the range and nursery of the
company before he became an educator.

Mr. Walker's career as a teacher be-
gan at Cornell, where he was associated
with L. H. Bailey of that institution.
Messrs. Walker and Bailey were authors
of the book, "Garden Making," and
Mr. Walker was a large contributor to
Bailey's cyclo^>edia of horticulture. .

The deceased served for thirteen
years as head of the horticultural de-
partment of the University of Arkan-
sas. After going to Auburn he became
state horticulturist of Alabama for
three years.

Mr. Walker is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Mary Newman Walker, daughter
of Col. J. S. Newman, first director of
the experimental station at Auburn;
two sons, Marion Walker and Elbert
Walker, and one daughter. Miss Ernes-
tine Walker, all of Boiling; his mother,
Mrs. Mary E. Walker, of New Albany,
Ind.; six brothers, F. I. Walker, of Chi-
cago; Ferd G. Walker and Herbert G.
Walker, of Louisville, Ky.; Eev. J. N
Walker, Clarence Walker and Earle G.
Walker, of New Albany, Ind.; two sis-
ters. Miss Abbie Walker and Miss Har-
iett Walker, of New Albany, Ind.

John Talt.

John Tait, rose and carnation grower
for the William Blackman Floral Co.,
of Evansville, Ind., died December 9
after an illness of eight weeks from
heart trouble. Funeral services were
held December 10 in charge of the
Masons, and the body w'as shipped to
Chicago for burial. Mr. Tait had been
in charge of the roses and carnations
at Blackman 's for several years and
was considered an unusually capable
grower. IIo is survived by his wife.

E. L. F.

Henry Millard Sanborn.

Henry Millard Sanborn, a pioneer flo
rist of the East Bay section, San Fran-
cisco, died at the family home in Oak-
land Decenibor 7, at the age of 66 years.
For three years he had been a sufferer
from diabetes. A native of New York,
Mr. Sanborn went to California
"around the Horn" in 1867 and lo-
cated in Oakland in 1868. His
brother-in-law, James Hutchinson, es-
tablished a nursery on the site that
now is Telegraph avenue, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth streets,
as early as 1852. Upon his arrival in
that state, Mr. Sanborn went into the
florists' business with his brother-in-
law and succeeded him as president of
the concern upon his relative's death.

The Hutchinson nurseries were then
changed to the H. M. Sanborn Floral
Co. For the last few years Mr. San-
born has retired, his son, Edgar M.
Sanborn, taking over the business. In
1888 the decedent became a member of
the Oakland school board and held that
position for ten years. He was an ac-
tive member of the Oakland Merchants'
Association and the local order of the
Woodmen of the World. Besides his
son and wife, he leaves a daughter, Mrs.
James T. Lea. Funeral services were
held from the family home December 9.

8. H. G. .

Frank S. Howard.

In the death of Frank S. Howard
December 8, Chicago lost its oldest pri-

vate gardener — oldest at least ia point
of continuous service in one place.

Frank Howard was 67 years of age.
He came to Chicago many years ago to
enter the employ of the late Geprge M.
Pullman when the Pullman resiaence
was one of the show places of the city.
His home, where he died, was near by,
at 1826 Calumet avenue. Mr. Howard
was a participant in all the earlier
flower shows and was widely known
among the old-timers, many of whom
attended the funeral December 10. In-
terment was at Oakwoods, in charge of
Herder lodge No. 669, A. F. & A. 1£.

Mr. Howard left a widow, who was
Annie Walker, and three song, two
daughters and two grandchildren.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS |

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiir

Wachendorff Bros., of Atlanta, 6a.,
report good business. "For the first
time in our experience we fell down on
our mums," said E. Wachendorff.
"There was an abundance of foliage,
but not our usual grade of bloom. We
found out the cause — giving the plants
the shadow in place of the substance.
The mlim is a gross feeder and our
liquid was too weak in the tank. The
oversight was found out too late to
avert the result, but it will not happen
again. Our 60-acre nursery now is
bringing in returns. Brother Charles
and I are often out there ere sunrise,
in order to be back home in time for
greenhouse calls," concluded Mr.
Wachendorff. The home range covers
ten acres within the city limits, and,
while taxes are high, store rent is
saved. Much concrete work for gutters
and the like is noticed, and it is ex-
plained that as the soil resists the
heavy rains, it is necessary to provide
miniature dams, so to speak. Stock
looks promising for the holidays. The
annual chrysanthemum show was held
at College park, as usual. Messrs.
Wachendorff acted as judges.

Julius Eger demonstrated the Thanks-
giving business in Schenectady, N. Y.,
by a window filled with empty flower
cases. Attached to the window was a
large sign that read, "You did this; ac-
cept our thanks."

W. H. Showers, -also of Schenectady,
remarked that Thanksgiving orders
fairly poured in. College business was
exceptionally good.

E. V. B. Felthouscn, on the Van Ant
werp road, near Schenectady, had a fine
lot of Chadwick and Mrs. E. A. Seide-
witz mums. These now are passe with
him, the space being devoted to bedding
plants. Some fine ferns are ready for
Christmas sales.

John C. Hatcher, of Schenectady, had
the usual fine stock at Hoffman's and
•sold out early.

"All roses have thorns, but T think
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria the thorni-
est," remarked Carl Oelschig, of A. C.
Oelschig & Sons, Savannah, Ga. "It is
one of the best in the south. We also
grow successfully Ophelia, Mrs. Russell,
Mrs. Bayard Thayer and Hoosier
Beauty. D'Arenberg is the freest of
all, but comes rather short-stemmed.
Mrs. Aaron Ward is usually popular."
In carnations Mrs. Akehurst seems most

at home; it is the best of all. The sin-
gle mum, Mensa, both in yellow and
white, is a good seller. The houses de-
voted to rubbers resemble a jungle, and
Albert Oelschig said that one felt like
being in a jungle when taking cuttings
in midsummer. A fine lot of poinsettias
for the holidays was noted, and every-
thing looked fully up to the standard
set by the late founder, with whom I
had the pleasure of a close acquaintance
for a quarter of a century. A. C. 's
hearty greeting was refreshing, and al-
ways the same — a true type of the old
school.

A. W. Richardson, of Savannah, is ex-
tensively engaged in market gardening,
in addition to his flower branch. He
says the heat caused lettuce outdoors
to run to seed instead of heading.
D. J. Sneed has charge of the green-
houses. Roses, carnations and chrysan-
themums look well. ' ' There is a new bug
here — as if we had not enough," ob-
served Mr. Sneed. * ' At first it is green,
then it grows black with age. It is ex-
ceedingly lively and most voracious."

John Wolf, of Savannah, observed
that, in times of great prosperity,
it behooves one to take advantage
of every opportunity to make a sale.
1 noted a run on mum plants in a
department store at 25 cents each, and
learned from Mr. Wolf that after the
beat stock is selected for his own store
sales, the culls are potted three or four
in a pot and are considered as so much
profit. He believes this does not affect
the better class of buyers. Stock grown
for regular trade is in first-class condi-
tion. Lilies, valley, roses, carnations
and chrysanthemums are coming in as
needed. The demand is good and it
looks as though it will remain so
through the holiday season.

Howland Gardner, of Greensboro,
N. C, reported that not a chrysanthe-
mum was left after Thanksgiving. The
Yarrawa sweet pea is giving great satis-
faction.

J. J. Fallon, of Lynchburg, Va., found
chrysanthemums for main crop and
Thanksgiving the most profitable and is
weeding out all other kinds.

Miss A. McCarron, of Lynchburg, says
that when the repaving of Main street
is finished she will have a good chance
to make the store and approach eren
more attractive. All things considered,
business keeps up well. W. M. .

Every florist knows through
his own purchases what has
happened in the paper market
the last few months— prices
have doubled all along the line.

And it takes more than four
tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so
kind as to write that The Review
is worth considerably more to
them than its subscription price.
Well, the tremendous rise in the
price of paper makes it no
longer expedient to sell The Re-
view at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, there-
fore, will be advanced January
1, 1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe
for one or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after Jan-
uary 1, 1917,. may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per
year, providing that such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from
the present date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from
the present date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50
unless they are mailed by December 31, 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.50 a year beginning January 1, 1917. Canadian
renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Glass now has advanced 100 per cent
as compared with prices of a year ago.

That most enduring of plant's for in-
door use, the aspidistra, is one of the
scarce items, the principal supply being
imported from Belgium.

One of the shortages with which grow-
ers soon will have to contend is that of
nicotine extract, the insecticide manu-
facturers in many cases being consider-
ably behind their orders.

Where formerly the call was for early-
blooming varieties of chrysanthemums,
that demand seems to have been fully
met and the inquiry now is for late vari-
eties, to bloom after Thanksgiving.

The fifth of the series of bulletins of
the American Dahlia Society made its
appearance last week. It contains sev-
eral interesting articles and the consti-
tution and by-laws of the organization.

W. J. Keimel says he has kept careful
records for a sufficient length of time to
convince him that the rose grower who
pinches and makes a big plant will in
the end cut as many flowers as the one
who does not pinch, but who cuts short
stems.

The trend of things is toward infor-
mality, which perhaps accounts for the
fact that most of the new exhibition
mums are of the reflexed type, but for
commercial purposes the incurved vari-
eties, like Bonnaffon and Champion, will
be hard to displace.

Bouquet green probably never was so
scarce as it is this season.

The premium list for the carnation
show at Indianapolis January 31 has been
issued. Copies may be had by addressing
A. F. J, Baur, secretary, Indianapolis.

The man who has good azaleas this
season will be improvident if he rushes
them into flowelt and onto the market.
After such losses as have occurred in
transit, azaleas are sure to be excellent
property this season and should be held
for better retail prices than usual.

There are many reports to the effect
that the chrysanthemum season of 1916
was one of the best ever. While prices
were low in most wholesale markets dur-
ing the first half of November, those
who grow for their own retail trade seem
generally to have had a continuously
brisk demand at good prices, while the
Thanksgiving clean-up in the wholesale
markets was unexpectedly good.

SALVE.

It may have been noted that the text

pages of The Review are not filled with

fulsome flattery for advertisers, the

chief reason being that buyers neither

will pay for a paper of that character

nor read it if it is sent free.

Enclosed find a three years' sabscription to
your valuable paper. I can't see how any wide-
awake florist can do without The Review. —
Charles Beyer, St. Louis, Mo., December 5,
1016.

Whether or not the publication is

bought to read is the real test of its

value as an advertising medium:

I wish to thank The Review for what It has
(Ump for me in the last year; it has sold over
2,000 bales of sphagnum moss and about the same
quantity of peat. — Joseph H. Paul, Manahaw-

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

CHAEGING FOR PACKING.

One of the results of the increasing
cost of doing business is the trial in
this country of the European method
of charging purchasers for packing and
packing materials. Practically all Eu-
ropean houses, in the plant line and in
other lines, always have charged for
boxes and other packing material and
sometimes have charged for labor also.
But in this country plantsmen hereto-
fore have done the packing without
charge. In some other lines of business
it has been customary to charge for
boxes or bags and present unprecedent-
ed conditions have resulted in a num-
ber of plantsmen announcing that in
the future they will make a charge for
packing. They mean thej will charge
for packing materials, not necessarily
cost, but something to help meet the
greatly increased expense. The pio-
neers have added 50 cents for each $10
worth of goods.

Not many in the trade will object
to moderate charges for packing. It is
quite well understood that nearly all
packing materials, especially paper,
have advanced gieatly in price and the
cost is a serious item to large shippers.
But when a man charges for packing,
his customers may fairly demand good
packing. If the average American
house would charge five per cent for
packing and do the packing as well as
most of the European exporters do it,
it would be the cheapest part of the
purchase price of the stock in the pack-
age.

DO IT NOW.

Those who supply greenhouse build-
ing materials are unanimous in urging
florists to act at once in ordering every-
thing they need for 1917 additions or
replacements, basing their course on
their belief that building materials will
become much higher in price than they
now are.

Prices of practically all commodities
have risen so rapidly in the last year
that it is a matter of general amaze-
ment. It seems quite true that the
prices of greenhouse materials have
risen no more, if as much, as other com-
modities have done. Not taking into
consideration the shortage in any one
line, it seems fair to suppose that any
further advance in commodity prices
will carry greenhouse building mate-
rials along with it — and in nearly all
lines of business it is the confident
assertion that the top has not yet been
reached. In several lines of greenhouse
building material there are well known
special reasons for an advance in prices.
By buying now at present price levels,
a grower is quite likely to save some
money; there is scarcely any chance
that he could save money by waiting
until toward spring.

As to the policy of building green-
houses at the present price of materials,
it is not so much a question of what a
greenhouse will cost as it is what the
grower is able to take out of it after
it is built. The man who has a mar-
ket at a satisfactory price can afford to
build at any price.

GOING UP.

Pretty nearly everybody knows what
lias happened to the price of paper dur-
ing 1916 — the increase has been such
as to compel a revision of calculations
by all large users of paper. That the
necessity is recognized is shown by the
following press dispatch:

Boston, Mass.. Dec. 7. — The Association of
National Advertisers at its annual meeting to-
day adopted resolutions approvinfr "reasonable
increases in the selling price of periodicals and
newspapers" because of the higher cost of white
paper.

Some time ago Tlio Review announced
that after December ."^1, 1916, its sub-
scription price will be $1.50 per year.
Up to the last day of this month and
year subscriptions may be renewed at
the old rate of $1 per year.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The last week was, on the whole, a
fairly satisfactory one in the whole-
sale flower market. As demand went
down, stock shortened considerably,
with the result that prices did not fall
so abruptly as they otherwise would
have done. City trade was considerably
slackened by the unfavorable weather
which prevailed during the greater part
of the week, but shipping business
came in briskly and again demon-
strated its value.

The advent of cold weather has
further shortened the supply of all va-
rieties of roses. The demand continues
fair and stock is clearing well at mod-
erate prices. Russells are in especially
heavy demand. Indications are that
the highest prices ever attained by this
variety will bo reached this Christmas.
American Beauties continue scarce, ana
clear well at good prices. The supply
of carnations is large, but they are

prices have stiffened up considerably.
Mums and pompons are practically a
dead letter, only a few stragglers still
remaining on the market.

Lilies are steadily gaining impetus,
and are now moving fairly well. Valley
continues scarce, as do violets, the de-
mand for the latter having fallen off
somewhat since last week. Calendulas
are selling better, at moderate prices.
Orchids are in small supply. Sweet
peas are still short and sell readily.
The supply is slowly increasing. Paper
Whites arrive heavily and are moving

been. The quality is considerably im-

with a fairly good demand which clears
stock readily.

Christmas Prospects.

It is years since the Chicago whole-
sale florists have been so unanimous in
their confidence regarding the Christ-
mas business. Since the splendid clean-
up made at Thanksgiving, every assur-
ance has been felt that relatively good
results will come with the more impor-
tant holiday. This confidence has not
in any wise been shaken by the relapse
the market suffered last week. This is
taken to be only the slowing down that
usually takes place at this time of the
year, accentuated, perhaps, by certain
unusual factors this season.

Less interest than usual is taken in
the prospect for Beauties; this flower is
no longer so important as it was when
more largely grown. It is generally
agreed that the supply of Beauties this

year will be considerably less than at
any recent Christmas, although one or
two growers, including at least one who
has materially reduced his Beauty
space this year, aver they will cut more
Beauties than last year. Whatever
Beauty loses Russell gains. The sup-
ply will be large and of universally
fine quality, the stems running up to
thirty-six inches or even more. Ex-
pectations as to the Christmas supply of
roses in general have been revised
downwards during the last week. There
are those who say conditions have so
changed as to reduce the anticipated
cuts by one-third. Nevertheless, it is
thought there will be roses enough for
all who want them at list prices, which
is far more satisfactory all around tham
where a surplus must be jobbed oif.

Carnations were late this season and
have just got into their stride. A few
growers disagree, but the general
opinion is the supply of carnations will
be the largest this market ever has had
at Christmas. Violets are expected to
be less abundant than usual, largely be-
cause of improved markets elsewhere
diverting the supply. Of other flowers
there will be so many the clean-up will
depend on the demand for the more
important items.

The Nativity Record.

This, December 14, is the birthday
anniversary of Emil Buettner, grower
and president of the A. L. Randall Co.
The Book of Chicagoans says it is his
sixtieth, for he was born in Hanover
in 1856.

It was December 15, 1867, that
George Stollery brightened an English
home.

Good guessers will agree that N. P,
Miller is about 57 years old. You can
omit the "about" next week Friday,
December 22.

Anton Then was born in Bavaria
Christmas day, 1854, so he will reach
his sixty-second milestone this year.

Various Notes.

After having spent the summer on his
farm at West Springfield, Pa., Carl N.
Thomas is expected to arrive in Chicago
about December 15 to devote the frozen
months to the cut flower department of
the A. L. Randall Co.

It is announced that January 1 M. C.
Wright, formerly manager of the
Philadelphia office of Lord & Burnham
Co., will come to Chicago to become
western manager of sales. He will be
accompanied by his assistant, Mr.

Woodward. It is stated that the west-
ern business has grown at such a rate
that George Sykes, general western
manager, feels the desirability of de-
veloping his organization to provide
for still larger demands that are felt
to be coming.

According to C. L. Washburn the
large quantities of California mums
which come into this market in the
early part of November give the local
growers "food for thought." Although
most of the wholesale houses decline to
jeopardize the local growers' interests
by handling mums from California, Mr.
Washburn believes that with even one
place in the market handling this stock
it will break the market next season
the same as it did this year. He points
out that it was the early frost that
made the fine market for early mums
this year, a factor which cannot be
counted on for other years. Conse-
quently, with the California stock men-
acing the midseason market, Mr.
Washburn thinks the late varieties are
much the safest to plant for next
season.

It is said by those who watch the

flowers at debutante parties that John
Mangel's tag has been on a much
larger percentage of the boxes this year
than usual.

Fred Qttenbacher has entered the
employ p^'TBe Uhitf&go Flower Growers'
Association.

The year 1916 has been the best in
the experience of Peter Reinberg, ac-
cording to Felix Eeichling, who says in-
quiries and orders indicate there will
be a big finish.

Returning December 11 from a
month's trip to California, C. S. Claus-
sen reports that he had a pleasant visit
with Fred Sperry, former Chicagoan,
who, Mr. Claussen says, seems to be
building a highly successful shipping
trade in Los Angeles, dealing in cut
flowers, greens and supplies.

Although there are reports that cer-
tain growers will not be in full crop, so
many others will cut more heavily than
ever before that John Michelsen, of
the E. C. Amling Co., predicts the car-
nation supply will be the largest this
market ever has seen at Christmas.

The wedding of L. E. Finuerman, of

It appears that nearly all the local
growers lost at least a portion of their
azaleas through freezing in transit. The
George Wittbold Co. attributes the dis-
aster which overtook its imports to the
ventilator of the refrigerator car being
left open.

Miss L. A. Tonner reports that the
pecan nut business which she recently

says she is finding a ready market for
her wares, both in the candy shops and
among private customers.

There are 60,000 of the Rainbow
freesias showing good growth at the
Alois Frey establishment at Crown
Point, not to mention 20,000 seedlings.
There will be nothing much to cut until
January, as Mr. Frey does not believe in
too much heat at this stage.

Allan Humason and E. C. Pruner are
in Chicago. They expect to remain
in the city until after the first of the
year.

According to William Wienhoeber,
the E. Wienhoeber Co., Elm street,
never had so large a November as in
1916. It was made so by the unusual
number of debutante parties, he says,
several of them bringing forty or fifty
orders each.

With his Winton, C. W. McKellar
spent December 12 visiting growers. He
says flowering plants are less plentiful
than usual, but that there will be a
big supply of carnations.

The condition of the wholesale mar-

plenty of fine stock and business was
excellent. Prices have advanced some-
what, now that the mum season is at
an end. The retailers, too, say they
had excellent business last week, and
preparations for Christmas are keeping
all hands busy. A few days of cold
weather stimulated business somewhat
and society affairs used up large quan-
tities of extra quality stock.

The Market.

Prospects for good crops at Christmas
are promising as far as roses and carna-
tions are concerned. Business has been
good since Thanksgiving and everything
is cleaning up nicely, except Beauties.
It seems impossible to make the people
familiar with the high prices asked for
Beauties.

The florists' supply departments cer-
tainly are making things hum. It seems

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

There is a healthy condition in the
cut flower market, caused by a fairly
even demand and supply. Neither de-
mand nor supply is heavy at present.
It seems probable that this condition
will continue until the approach of
Christmas. It has been a surprise to
those who were not in on the secret
that chrysanthemums of fine quality are
still in the market. Not left-overs or
culls or ripe stock, but really good Bon-
naffon and Mistletoe and Jeanne Nonin
that bring excellent prices. Of course
there are not many of them, but there
are enough to merit mention. Sweet
peas are becoming more plentiful; quite
a few really nice orchid-flowered blooms
on long stems are offered. Another ac-
cession to the list is Narcissus Soleil
d'Or, the so-called yellow Paper White
and early French daffodil of merit.
Lilac also has arrived from the famous
New Jersey center, where this famous
French flower is grown to perfection.
Poinsettias are ready on call, as it were,
for the yuletide festivities. Primroses
and yellow daisies are slowly rounding
into form. These are the flowers that
add variety to the list. They do not
form a large proportion of the flowers
offered, but they are of special interest
at a time when fall has passed and win-
ter has come.

The outlook for Christmas is bright.
There promises to be an abundance of
good stock in the market; whether it
will suffice to meet all of the demands
is a" question that time will settle.

is that they took all the first prizes offered at the National Rose Show in Philadelphia. (That's all. )

shippers in the same class with those
who sent Christmas presents once a
year was bad business, particularly as
the Christmas presents would not spoil
like cut flowers. He further urged that
the express company would be saving
itself a great deal of trouble and ex-
pense by treating shipments of cut flow-
ers as preferred stock.

The plans submitted by Mr. Reid to
the officials of the Adams Express Co.
were as follows: That all boxes marked
as perishable cut flowers and expressed
to Pittsburgh, for instance, would be
placed in the hands of two or three of
the company's most reliable employees;
that these boxes would be gathered on
the platform and placed in the express
car for Pittsburgh by these men and
not buried under a mass of general mer-
chandise; that a wire be sent to the ex-
press office in Pittsburgh saying that
7-we will suppose — fifty boxes of per-
ishable cut flowers were on such a train
bound for that city; that this car be
met in Pittsburgh by an express com-
pany man who understood his business;
that the boxes be gotten out immedi-

ately and sent over to the express office;
that they then be distributed at once.

In the case of flowers sent over two
roads, where the greatest danger lies,
Mr. Reid proposed as follows: That,
when flowers are shipped to the south,
the boxes be collected in the same way
in this city and placed together in the
express car; that they be marked as so
many for the Sea Board Air line, so
many for the Chesapeake & Ohio, so
many for the Atlantic Coast line and
so many for the Southern; that a tele-
gram be sent to the company's office in
Washington apprising it of the exact
number of boxes for each of these font
different routes, with the numbers of
the express car and of the train; that
the Washington employees of the com-
pany use utmost dispatch in distribut-
ing and restarting these boxes. Mr.
Reid further suggested that the same
methods be employed to safeguard in-
coming shipments of flowers.

At a meeting of the Adams Express
Co. officials held in this city, it was
agreed that Mr. Reid's plan be given
a trial next week.

Rose September Mom.

Henry C. Geiger, secretary of the
Florex Gardens, was seen at the office
of Eugene Bernheimer in this city in
regard to the Rose September Morn.
Mr. Geiger said: "We have 12,000
plants of September Morn out at North
Wales. You know this rose is a light
pink sport of Prima Donna. We grew
100 plants of it last year and were so
much pleased with it that we have
planted 12,000 this year. September
Morn is more fragrant than Prima
Donna and of more refined type. The
plants have shown splendid growth and
we think that it will prove a great
acquisition to our list of forcing vari-
eties. We propose to oflfer young plants
of September Morn in February."

The Price of Cut Flowers.

Many growers have asked the ques-
tion whether, in view of the higher cost
of coal and other necessities, this sea-
son, they would receive any more for
their products than in previous years.
The question has been answered and

ji being answered with regard to plants
by the adoption of a higher scale of
prices on certain kinds — a scale that
has been set by the leaders and is be-
ing adopted by growers generally. In
the case of cut flowers no such scale
is possible. So the question was put
to Charles E. Meehan, with a certainty
of securing a thoughtful reply.

"Flowers have not brought any more
this fall than usual, ' ' Mr. Meehan said.
"The supply has been more than equal
to the demand. It seems likely that dur-
ing the winter things will be different.
•With a more evenly balanced supply
and demand it is almost certain that
prices will be satisfactory to the grow-
ers, because general business is good
and people are willing to pay a fair
price for what they want."

Transportation.

The growth of the florists' business
has been so rapid during the last few
years that it brings up new problems,
or rather accentuates old problems, mak-
ing them more serious than in the past.
Leo Niessen voiced the feeling among
our shippers when he spoke of the neces-
sity of concerted action to secure relief.
Mr. Niessen 's idea is that prompt de-
livery of perishable cut flowers and
plants at holidays can be secured from
the express companies, past all perad-
venture, by the assistance of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. He thinks
that so important an industry as flori-
culture should receive special considera-
tion. He doubts whether that consider-
ation can be secured from the express
companies unless the florists unite and
throw their whole force into the effort.

Various Notes.

Edward Neville spoke on his experi-
ence during his vacation before the
Germantown Horticultural Society De-
cember 11. The treasurer's report for
the year read at this meeting showed
the society to be in splendid condition
— a large paid membership and a good
balance on hand, after an addition was
made to the permanent fund.

The florists and seedsmen of this city
contributed generously to the bazaar
held for the benefit of the Allies at the
Bellevue-Stratford this week.

Clarence U. Liggit said that all vari-
eties of Christmas plants save palms
and ferns are already running short.

The Market.

All seasonable stock is selling well.
Many of the retailers report an un-
usual increase in business during the
last two weeks. Carnations are begin-
ning to improve, and it is hoped that
the stems will stiffen, so as to match
the quality of the blooms. Eussell and
Ophelia at present are the best and
most popular roses. Violets are becom-
ing plentiful, while sweet peas, snap-
dragons and Paper Whites are increas-
ing in supply, A few good Formosa
and calla lilies are to be had.

Various Notes.

George Zimmer has his carnations in

fine shape and will have a heavy cut
for Christmas. He reports a steady in-
crease in business.

A disastrous accident was narrowly
averted last week at the greenhouses
of Lewis Henderson. The night fire-
man let one of the boilers run dry and
did not notice it until one of the steam
mains over the boiler burst. It seems
that in some way or other the return
valve between the two boilers had been
left closed, and the fireman was watch-
ing only one water gauge — of course,
the wrong one.

When it comes to quality of carna-
tion blooms A. Douaghue has every-
thing else in this neck of the woods
beat to a frazzle. His cut for the holi-
days will be good.

who are cutting anything have no cause
for complaint.

Last week the rose market was
strong and the supply limited. Had
there been any unusual demand prices
would have soared. American Beauties
and Hadleys sold at 50 to 60 cents each
for the selects and Eussell was held at
35 cents for the highest grade. Kil-
larney Brilliant, Key, Hoosier Beauty,
Sunburst, Ward, Mock and Ophelia all
were higher and the lower grades of
these were in demand at 3 cents and up.

Orchids are more abundant and prices
are slightly lower. Cypripediums bring
frorriV|lO to $15 per hundred. Gar-
denias at last are coming in larger
quantities and prices are falling.

The best carnations sold at $4 per
hundred December 9 and 10; indeed, a
few touched $5, but $3 to $4 was the
general quotation, with nothing below
$2.

It is remarkable how the late mums
are holding out. Some of the whole-
salers' windows are full of them and
prices are firmer. It looks as if there
will be quite a few remaining to the
end of the year. The pompons, too,
are well appreciated.

Lilies sold up to $10 and $12 per
hundred December and the demand
left no surplus. Valley fell to $3 and
$4. Violets have held well for several
weeks. The quality of the Spencer
peas is so good they are selling better
every day.

There is a large assortment of mis-
cellaneous flowers that seem to appeal
to buyers this year more than usual, in-

A. Langhans, of Wheeling, W. Va.,

fine display of cut stock was noticed.
Funeral orders were heavy.

Charles O'Beirne, of Martins Ferry,
O., is taking additional store space to
keep pace with his rapidly growing cut
flower trade.

A new house has been added to the
range of Kehrer & Sons, of Martins
Ferry. Larger offices also are being

The Cunningham Greenhouses, of

carnations, besides other good stock.
The season has been satisfactory and
the outlook for the future is bright.

The Posy Shop, of Fremont, O., has
been busy with orders for decorative

work. ^ . , ,

A. S. Horn, of Fremont, has finished
another addition to the greenhouses.

Preparations are . being made for a
big holiday trade by the florists in the
Auditorium market, Wheeling, W. Va.
The sale of wreaths and baskets of
artificial flowers is a feature.

The Oldham Greenhouses, of. Cam-

coming on for the holidays.

The Imlay Co., of Zanesville, O., has
its usually good stock of Christmas
plants coming on.

A. J. Vonderhorst, the "telephone

a good trade at his new stand. He is
located some distance from the business
section, but with his telephone and de-
livery car he makes a successful bid
for the business.

Magnificent stock was seen at the

other plants is reported.

"To have coal and gas for heating
one's greenhouses would seem a double
advantage these wintry days, but with
coal unobtainable and gas likely to be
cut off at any time, what is a fellow to
do?" asked F. J. Norton, of Bucyrus, O.

A grand display of cut flowers, espe-
cially mums, was seen the day before
Thanksgiving at the Stuhldreher Bros,
store at Mansfield, O. The day after
there was not much left, even of the

A visit to the greenhouses of the
H. Weber & Sons Co., at Oakland, Md.,
these crisp December mornings is most
interesting. The warmth of the place,
after a short spin to the greenhouses
when the thermometer registered 10 de-
grees above, was welcome. The high
altitude and pure air of the mountains

makes the flowers grow splendidly.
Mums and lilies were in abundance;
roses and other flowers never looked
better and plants for Christmas were
coming along in fine shape. The hos-
pitality of Will and John Weber makes
the handshake a little stronger and the
smile a little longer. W. T. U.

the market for so long, are rapidly de-
teriorating. With their eclipse there is
more demand for carnations, which are
good and in fair quantity. Many of
the growers have good stocks of
plants for Christmas. Some sweet peas
are coming in, but there has not been
a great demand for them. Potted flow-

ering begonias are seen in considerable
quantities. Eoses continue abundant
and of good quality. Within a few
days a much larger supply of poinaet-
tias will arrive.

Florists who handle Christmas trees
will have difficulty in getting stock
from some sections of New England, as
the gypsy moth is prevalent there and
an embargo has been placed on the trees
by the New Jersey department of Agri-
culture. A supply will be secured from

Canada, however, but the longer ship-
ment and smaller quantity doubtless
will mean higher-priced trees and
greens this year, at least as far as this
locality is concerned.

Various Notes.

Henry Hornecker, of East Orange,
finds business about normal for this
time of the year.

George Penek made effective use last
week of a Japanese garden in his win
dow decoration. R. B. M.

Prices are holding up well in the cut
flower market and there is no consider-
able surplus of anything. Boses are a
little lower than they were a few days
ago, whites being the slowest to move.
Short-stemmed stock sells at an aver-
age of $4, while other grades run from
$6 to $20, some fancies realizing a little
more, particularly Eussell and Hadley.
All colored roses are cleaned up with
ease. Growers have to insist on buy-
ers taking a fair percentage of whites
and in this way prevent a serious glut.
The weather has been particularly fa-
vorable for cut flower production and
growers report that crops timed for
Christmas are coming on too fast. We
have comparatively open, clear weather,
which is not favorable for retarding
flowers.

Carnations are somewhat more ag-
gressive and make from $3 to $4 per
hundred, with some fancies at $5. The
quality now is strictly first-class. Sin-
gle violets sell better than doubles and
realize 25 cents per hundred more.
There still are good supplies of chrys-
anthemums and these make double the
prices of a fortnight ago. Paper White
narcissi are abundant. As yet only a
few Roman hyacinths have appeared.
Small lots of French Golden Spurs ap-
peared this week. Valley continues
high; the best realizes $8 per hundred.
Lilies are abundant and are inclined to
sag a little.

Bachelor's buttons and yellow mar-
guerites sell well; so do snapdragons,
particularly the pink ones. Stevia is
a little druggy, while no one wants the
Gypsophila elegans offered. This week
there is quite a good demand for poin-
settias. Callas are arriving more abun-
dantly. Sweet peas are coming in more
freely and are of good quality. Some
pink bouvardias come in and sell mod-
erately well. Gardenias and cattleyas
are scarce. Calls for asparagus are
only moderate, that for A. plumosus be-
ing the best.

The pot plant trade is extremely ac-
tive; the large specialists are already
well sold out. Quite a number of well
berried English hollies in tubs are to
be seen and the demand for Christmas
greenery of all kinds is stronger than
ever before.

Various Notes.

A special car of the Boston and
Worcester street railroad will leave
Park square, Boston, at 1 p. m., Decem-
ber 16, for the field day of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club at Framingham.
The establishments of Messrs. Goddard,
Nicholson, Nelson and Butterworth will

cutting some extra fine American Beau-
ties this aeason. Crimson Queen is a
great specialty and is extra good; so
are Hoosier Beauty, Double White Kil-
larney, Ophelia, Tipperary and Bedford
Belle. They have a heavy Christmas
crop in sight.

The Waban Kose Conservatories have
a magnificent crop of roses just right
for Christmas. Where everything is
grown so well, it is hard to particular-
ize. Russell and Hadley are wonder-
ful. The latter makes Hoosier Beauty
appear puny by comparison. Lady
Alice Stanley is good; so are Ophelia
and Killarney Brilliant. From 3,400
plants of the latter, 35,000 flowers have
already been cut this season.

A busy establishment is that of the
W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley, Mass.
Houses which were overflowing with
choice Christmas stock are rapidly be-
ing denuded. The cyclamens, browal-
lias, azaleas, poinsettias, begonias and
other plants are in the pink of condi-
tion— the best Bartsch brand.

Sweet peas of the Spencer type now
are coming in from a number of grow-
ers. No better flowers are to be seen
than those shipped in by J. W. Phil-
brick, of Beverly, who has white, pink
and lavender, with splendid stems.

Do not forget the club meeting at
Horticultural hall December 19. There
will be the election of oflScers and the
lecture by J. N. Kecler, on "Green-
house Construction," which will be il-
lustrated by the stereopticon. Arrange-
ments for the annual club banquet are
already under way. The next one will
be held in Horticultural hall.

C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is
shipping in Gypsophila elegans, which
finds a hard competitor in stevia. His
Pink Delight, Alice and Matchless car-
nations are fine.

At Welch's business is good, but pre-
vailing high prices are not conducive to
expanding the flower trade. David
Welch says that there is a sharp ad-
vance in the prices of all evergreens due
to the higher cost of labor, and collec-
tions from clients are not so good as
might be expected. The concern haa

many advance Christmas orders to fill.

Paine Bros., of Randolph, have what
they call a double stevia, which is
whiter than the common S. serrata and
sells more quickly. They brought in a
few French Golden Spur narcissi this
week, the first of the season from any
source.

R. & ..T. Farquhar & Co. have few
bulbs loft this season. The entire
ground floor at the South Market street
store now is devoted to flowering and
foliage ])]auts and receptacles of va-
rious kinds, of all of which they have
a splendid assortment.

Red Radiance rose is one which has
never taken well in Boston. Last week
I noted in the store of the Gude Bros.
Co., at Washington, a grand and richly
colored sport of Radiance, of a much
better color than the one usually seen.
As seen growing at the two establish-
ments of the Gude Bros. Co. it was
grand and ran American Beauty a close
second.

Robert Alontgomery, of Natick, is
noted as a rose and not a carnation
specialist, but he has taken up carna-

Harry Quint, of Boylston street, re-

as plants and flowers. He has numer-

of thousands of tricolor boutonnieres.

Business last week was as good as
could be expected, considering the sea-

extremely quiet, but during the week
end business became brisk. Stock is
more plentiful, but nothing has gone to

Chrysanthemums are practically out

attention, as the public and retailers are
tired of mums.

Hotel reservations and plans for the re-
ception committee have been made. The
members of the Indiana State Florists'
Association vi^ill be furnished with
badges and each member is to act as a
committee of one to welcome visitors.
^Members of the Carnation Society were
instructed to be on the lookout for new
members.

The invitational form of ticket was
decided upon and distribution will be
ma<lc by members of the Indiana State
Florists' Association.

The exhibition space was gone over
and plans laid for decorating the stair-
way an<l lobby, as well as the hall.
There are to be six table decorations,
carried out in carnations only, whereby
it is hoped to show the real value of the
flower for the purpose.

Various Notes.

(lovernor Herrick violets and good sweet
peas, both of which will be in crop for
Christmas.

Guy V,. Sharp ami Frank Lacy, of

There are far more flowers than tliere
were at any time last week, but busi-

are not so plentiful, but are ex-
ceptionally fine and bring fair prices.
The prices on violets have dropped to
$1 per hundred and even less in quan-
tity sales. Gardenias are more plenti-
ful, but are not in great demand. Or-
chids sell well and are more easily ob-
tainable. Colored roses have been sell-

provement in quality. Carnations are
quite scarce, as the growers are begin-
ning to conserve their stock. Some ex-
tra fine stevia has been coming in and
has met a fair demand. Svreet peas
have not been so plentiful of late and
the price has gpne up. Easter lilies are
still held at $12 per hundred, but the
sale is dragging. Valley maintains its
price of $7 and $8 per hundred, but
there is a sufiicient quantity to fill all
present demands. The supply of nar-
cissi has greatly increased.

Club Meeting.

A discussion of price maintenance
and grading cut floveers was the fea-
ture of the December meeting of the
Florists' Club, held at 1214 F street,
northwest. The questions involved
came before the meeting upon the sug-
gestion of Z. D. Blackistone. Adolph
Gude answered by pointing out the im-
possibility of price regulation and the
ineffectiveness of a standardization of
flowers by grades. He pointed out that
roses of one grade might flood the mar-
ket at a time when retailers needed
another grade only.

W. F. Gude made a report concern-
ing the committee's action for the en-
tertainment for the gardeners' conven-
tion. The committee provided an auto-
mobile tour of the city, a luncheon at
the Hotel Ebbitt, and a trip to Mount

Vernon. Upon motion of Z. D. Black-
istone, a vote of thanks to Mr. Gude
for the unsellishness shown in entertain-
ing these guests on behalf of the Flo-
rists' Club was adopted.

Various Notes.

Adolph Gude has been appointed one
of the delegates of the Chamber of
Commerce to attend the meeting of the
American Civic Association and W. F.
Gude will serve in a similar capacity
at the meeting of the National Security
League.

The Washington Floral Co. is begin-
ning to cut good Paper Whites. The
stock will come into full crop a few
days before Christmas.

The large ballroom of the New Wil-
lard hotel never looked better than it
did on the occasion of the annual ban-
quet of the Gridiron Club. As in pre-
vious years, C. Henry Small, of New
York, of J. H. Small & Sons, visited
W^ashington to participate in the ban-
quet, with his brother, J. Henry Small,
Jr. The decorations were done by the
Smalls. C. L. L.

Hancock, Mich. — Three new green-
houses, giving the firm a total of 35,000
square feet of glass, have been erected
by Dale & Nicholas, who recently ac-
quired the Ripley greenhouses and the
store operated for a number of years
by the A. M. York estate.

L. W. Wheeler, of the Pieters-Wheeler
Seed Co., Gilroy, Cal., was in Chicago
last week.

Steamers from the Scandinavian ports
continue to bring small lots of lily of
the valley pips, but the total is a rela-
tively small quantity.

W. W. HoisiNGTON and Burt Calhoun
represented the Leonard Seed Co. at the
Ohio canners' convention held at Colum-
bus December 12 and 13.

E, C. DuNGAN, of Wm. Henry Maule,
Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., is in Chicago
with his wife, looking after the printing
of the company's catalogue.

In estimating the cost of canned peas
for 1917 the committee of the National
Canners' Association puts it down as
"seed loss" at 2 cents per dozen cans.

A COMMITTEE of the Iowa Canners'
Association, in estimating the cost of
operation for 1917, figures $750 as the
cost of the seed for packing 28,000 cases
of corn.

The first 1917 calendar to reach The
Review is that of a seed grower, George
R. Pedrick & Son, Pedricktown, N. J., a
pretty picture of a lady with an armful
of roses.

The Aabling-Boyce Seed Co., Seattle,
Wash., has opened a retail flower store in
connection with its seed store, following
a marked tendency in this direction in
the trade.

J. W. Edmondson, manager of the
California Seed Growers ' Association, San
Jose, Cal., returned to the coast Decem-
ber 8. He intends to be back in Chicago
after the first of the year.

The man who is fortunate enough to
have a good crop of gladiolus bulbs this
season should be subject for the con-
gratulations of his friends; they will be
readily salable at the best prices of re-
cent years.

The Central Seed House, East St.
Louis, 111., a partnership between W. H.
Conant, C. W. Hurlburt and M. B. Con-
ant, makes a specialty of the commission
box business and is widening its territory
this season.

The seed trade as a body never was so
confident as now that the approaching
seed season will be an excellent one. The
prevailing high prices of loodstuflfs are
expected to create an unprecedented de-
mand for vegetable seeds of all kinds.

The Jefferson-Eatekin Seed Co. was
organized at Jefiferson, La., last month
with the following oflBcers: President,
J. W. Ratekin; vice-president, D. L.
Howard; treasurer, M. Head. The com-
pany will specialize in field seed.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
is putting the Bureau of Crop Estimates
on its figurative back because of the suc-
cess of its first attempt to forecast the
Texas Bermuda onion crop. The bu-
reau 's first estimate was 5,328 cars, which
it subsequently revised to 5,107, whereas
the actual movement as reported from the^
shipping stations was 4,903 cars. The
work will be undertaken again in 1917.

A CHANGE IN VIEWPOINT?

^ When it was proposed to put cata-
logues under the parcel post zone rates
here was much opposition and seeds-
jiien, among others publishing relatively
jight books, secured an exception in
'neir favor, leaving the flat third-class
'ate on pieces weighing up to eight
ounces. The Postmaster General now
recommends that catalogues be put
"ack into the third class (1 cent for
f-ach two ounces regardless of distance)

LILY BULBS

OUR MOTTO: "Your dollar's value.'

Those who know will grow Rebum & Co. lily bulbs, for they are fertilized (the truth without fear or favor), and
feeding the bulbs at growing stage positively produces the best results, maturing a healthy, sound bulb; three times
rogued and cultivated by the oldest and best experienced growers in Japan. GIGANTEUM of superb quality.

MULTIFLORUM for early Easter, true Kiota type, as you knew
Multifloruin twelve to fifteen years ago. Easter, 1918, is March 31.
Try a few cases. Supply limited.

FORMOSUM, black and green stem. The best Oshimo ev^r
produced. Write for prices on all sizes and quantities.

Let us figure on your French and Dutch order for fall, 1917. Our connections are reliable. Read our motto.
Cold storage GIGANTEUM BULBS all the year. All sizes. Ask for prices. See offer of Gladioli in Classified Department.

and the following item is going the

rounds:

WashiiiKton, D. C. — The House Committee on
Post-oftices and Post Roads is expected to in-
clude in the bill providinK for the post-office
appropriations for the flscal year 1918, a pro-
vision under which catalogues will hereafter
take third-class rates, instead of being accorded
the privileges of the parcel post service. This
is thought to be legislation aimed directly at
the large mail order houses, but its adoption
will hit all classes of business using catalogues
to further their sales.

The seed trade strenuously opposed

the application of parcel post zone

rates to its catalogues. Will it be

"hit" by putting them back Where

they were?

VALLEY PIPS AERIVE.

As the British government this year
has adopted special measures to enforce
its embargo on German-grown valley
pips, the British agents granting ex-
port permits only in cases where they
have actually seen the growing crop,
on non-German territory, the valley
pips arriving tliis year perforce are
either Danish or Holland-grown. Two
weeks ago a steamer from Copenhagen
brought a small shipment and last week
a Kotterdam boat discharged nearly
1,000 cases of the precious article. The
consignees of last week's arrival were:

M. Van Wnveren & Sons. 278 cases.
M.TltiiH & Ware. 429 cases.
American K.xpress Co., 100 cases.
K. V. Lung, 51! cases.
Htrwig & Co., 48 cases.

HOW ABOUT GIGANTEUM BULBS?

The British government last summer
put an embargo on the shipment of
•Japanese lily bulbs to Great Britain,
subsequently modifying the prohibition
to the extent of admitting fifty per
cent of the quantity exported to Great
Britain in 1915. The result, according
to the best authorities in the United
States, was to cause an excess of from
1,500,000 to 2,000,000 giganteum bulbs
in addition to the quantity usually sold
in America to seek a market here. A
few years ago it was considered that a
fair crop of longiflorum bulbs in .Japan
was 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 bulbs, of
which America took nearly half, so that
an increase of 1,500,000 in the quantity
offered in this market this year would
represent an increase of about fifteen
per cent. But it is open to question if
there has been since last season an in-
crease of fifteen per cent in the con-
sumption of lily flowers.

At the opening of the season every-
body was ready to buy bulbs; at least
the wholesale handlers were, for they
looked forward to a continuation of the
then active demand. But the strong de-
mand from forcers which marked the
opening of the season suddenly flat-
tened out after advance orders had

history of the trade. They were pur-

indication that lily flowers will sell
well now that the chrysanthemum sea-

later than usual in making deliveries,
which may have had something to do
with creating a false appearance of
scarcity. It perhaps is true that the
stock was not ready for shipment quite
so soon as usual this year, but the de-
lay in many cases was due to the in-
ability of certain buyers to cover tneir
needs at jyices they were willing to

DUTCH BULBS STILL OOMINa.

Although in previous years Novem-
ber has seen the close of the import
season of Holland-grown bulbs, this
year the shipments continue into De-
cember. A Rotterdam steamer which
arrived at New York December 2 dis-
charged more than 1,200 cases of bulbs,
in addition to large consignments of
trees, shrubs and plants, some of which
undoubtedly are of Belgian origin. The
total number of cases of bulbs received
to date now is greatly in excess of the
total for 1915, which, in turn, exceeded
that of 1914. Following are the con-
signees of last week's arrival, as given

LIST OF SURPLUS STOCK AT REDUCED PRICES

AS TO DUTCH BULBS.

The Dutch bulb imports this season
have exceeded 47,000 cases, according
to the records of the New York custom-
house, where last year the imports
through that port of entry were only
35,000 cases. The difference of over
thirty per cent represents the greatest
increase of any one year in the history
of the bulb trade in America.

Of course a large part of the increase
has been due to the action of the Brit-
ish government in prohibiting the send-
ing of bulbs from Holland to England,
but the bulb importing season came just
at a time when the trade in America
was ready to take hold of almost any-
thing that looked like salable stock.
The result was that many dealers in
this country bought more heavily than
they should. Today there are consider-
able surpluses in the east, although
western jobbers are well cleaned up.

Where early in the season stock was
going out as fast as it was received and
wholesale dealers were steadily behind
their orders, the rapid approach of the
end of the season makes it appear that
some of the late arrivals might better
have remained in Holland. It will have
a tendency to make buyers cautious
about 1917 orders.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

George Tait & Sons, of Norfolk, Va.,
state that in all their long experience
it was never harder than now to live
up to their trade-mark of "Thorough-
bred Seeds." Manager J. T. Moreland,
who had just returned from a business
tour of the east and Canadian growing
districts, mentioned especially spinach,
which is one of the largest crops grown
in this region. The seed harvested in
California here produces leaves that
will not "blister" and pack poorly, re-

Your Business

during 1917 will be just as good as you
make it. Every business is a good busi-
ness— how good depends on you. For
many reasons 1917 promises to be a
banner year for florists. Are you pre-
pared for it? Have you enough bulbs?
Don't wait until it is too late — and, be-
sides, there are no very large surpluses
to choose from. The growers have had
two years of war times, and their crops
are shortened with the demand. Other
crops brought more money, so they grew
other things. Times are changing,
prices will be higher — bulbs will soon be'
high enough to be better appreciated.
Freights are higher, packing is higher,
labor is higher, quantities produced are
lower, and the unprecedented demand
that is sure to come, will make prices
high before long. The pendulum of the
clock of business swings back and forth
of its own momentum plus the power be-
hind it — and times are going to be better
than they have been bad. The change
is here — are you ready for it? Get your
greenhouses planted to their utmost
capacity — buy your bulbs now — get
enough Horseshoe Brand Giganteum
now to last you during 1917 — price from
various shipping centers is $18 per case
i of 300 bulbs, as advertised.

growers are hoping for an early return
to imported stock. "The potato crop
is good," said Mr. Moreland, "the late
crop Itoing estimated at .350,000 barrels.
One of our customers reports a yield of
13;") barrels to the acre. Unfortunately,
this condition seems to be solely with
us, judging from the reports received
from other centers.''

The Williams Seed Co., of Norfolk, is
making a fine display of bulbs of ex-
ceptional quality. Every purchaser,
present or jyrospective, is handed an
attractive folder on bulb lore that can-
not fail to interest the reader. "We
shall send out a unique catalogue for
the next season," said Lyon Williams,
handing me a sample cover. On the
front appears the famous subject, "The
Angelus. " The back shows a fine old
colonial residence, surrounded by a vel-
vety lawn. "I do not think anyone
vvlio receives a copy will destroy it; of
course, the contents and stock as de-
scril)ed will be in harmony," concluded
Mr. Williams.

T>. W. Warren & Co., of Norfolk, one
of the oldest seed houses, now specialize
in field seed. They report good busi-
ness. Mr. Warren has been quite ill,
but hopes soon to be around, as usual.

W. S. Langhorne & Sons, of Ports-
mouth, Va., looks for a considerable in-
crease in local trade on account of the

amount of land under prospective cul-
tivation by the increasing army of
naval employees.

S. A. Kudd, of Newport News. Va.,
says it is surprising how many colored
l)eo])le have gone into the growing of
vegetables, with much success. Mr.
Rudd is a native and, though never out-
side his home town, is up-to-date
through studying the trade joUrnals and
handling good seeds.

W. A. Miller & Son, of Lynchburg,

grass seeds. The splendid buildings
forming the national home of the B. P.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

A large quantity of funeral work of
the better kind and a good deal of en-
tertaining, both at Thanksgiving and
since, have made everyone busy and
used up much stock. The dry spell has
been more or less broken, a gentle rain
having fallen, with probably more to
follow. This will help the outdoor stock
both in quality and quantity.

Among carnations, good rose-pink va-
rieties have been hard to obtain. Other
colors have been fairly plentiful,
though many lack good shipping quali-
ties. Roses are, if anything, a little
more plentiful, but a great many more
could be used. There are hardly any
Beauties, but some long-stemmed Prima
Donna and Russell have helped out. Vio-
lets are still on the scarce side, but
the rain no doubt will make them more
plentiful and insure a good crop for
Christmas.

Bulbous stock is beginning to come in
more freely and will help out, besides
making a larger variety. Much use is
being made of single and thin-petaled
roses in small baskets for table and
window decoration. Valley is still out
of the general market and hard to ob-
tain at any price.

The double blue cornflower is plenti-
ful and has been useful, especially dur-
ing the shortage of violets. All classes
of greens are about equal to the demand
and redwood and other northern greens
for holiday use are arriving in large
quantities daily. Azaleas have arrived
late in many instances and in bad order
in some. Some of the growers have
not even received them at date of
writing — December 6 — so the chance of
their making the Christmas market is
slim. Some Christmas Cheer rhododen-
drons have arrived in good condition
and will help out. There is a good stock
of ericas, poinsettias, cyclamens and be-
gonias coming on. Ferns will be con-
siderably in demand and the growers
have good stocks on hand.

Quite a heavy frost occurred this
morning, December 7, and this, if fol-
lowed by others, as is usually the case,
will surely sliorton the supply of all
outdoor stock for Christmas.

Various Notes.

L. H. Freeman hit a happy combina-
tion the other day in a cross. This was
made for the funeral of a well known
resident and consisted of orchids and
yellow roses over a base of bronze galax.
Mr. Freeman says that he notes a steady
and decided increase in the demand for
the better class of goods.

Thomas Atkins, long known in con-
nection with the flower and nursery
business in this town, now is running
the retail store in the Rosslyn hotel for
Norris & Son.

have led to fine business at J. W.
Welters' store this week and there are
many others booked.

I have seldom seen better stock of
roses than that coming from the green-
houses connected with Wright's Flower
Shop. Richmond is still grown there
and comes in fine shape.

At Frank Lichtenberg's the force has
been busy with the better class of fu-
neral work. The store is most attrac-
tive since the alterations, and there al-
ready is a fine showing of holiday
plants.

The L. A. Floral Co. reports shipping
business heavy and is putting on addi-
tional packers.

Tassano Bros, have secured a large
store on South Spring screet for the hol-

iday trade and have opened with a big
stock of Christmas greens.

Another old-timer in the florists' busi-
ness passes out, temporarily at least —
our old friend George Watson. Mr.
Watson has leased his greenhouses to i-
firm of Japanese growers for five years.
It is said they will go in for rose grow-
ing heavily.

I have already noted that splendid lot
of cyclamens grown at the Walter Arm-
acost & Co. Sawtelle place. Not only
were the plants magnificently grown,,
but there was a big lot of them, and
now Mr. Armacost is shaking hands
with himself, as he has the sold out
sign on nearly all sizes. All the largo
ones are gone and most of the small.
A grand cut of red roses is coming on
for the holidays.

The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. has
made a good start and is selling large
quantities of redwood, holly and other
seasonable stock. Bernard Tassano says
he is well satisfied with the business
so far.

Darling's Flower Shop certainly has
scored with its new fountain. Not only
by day, but after the lights are on in
the evening, admiring crowds line the

that the people demand good stock and
seem willing to pay for it. Taken as a
whole, flowers are scarce, and it is gen-
erally conceded that there will barely
be enough stock for Christmas, al-
though some of the growers are holding
back their roses and other flowers for
the holidays. Reports differ somewhat
regarding the outlook for potted plants;
some hold that there are plenty in sight
for all requirements, while others are
of the opinion that they will be at a
premium.

Large chrysanthemums are going off
crop rapidly. The late varieties were
practically a failure on account of the
frost last month, which is one of the
principal factors in the present short-

age of stock. A good many Chinese
mums are still coming in and they
move fairly well. Pompons continue to
show good quality and the demand
shows no signs of waning.

Carnations are better than for some
time, but they are not overplentiful and
still clear well at firm prices. The rose
cut is short of the demand. All varie-
ties on the market leave nothing to be
desired in quality, the only complaints
being in regard to quantity. Russell is
particularly scarce. The cold weather
of the last week has held back the vio-
lets to a certain extent, but most stock
is in fine shape and sells well, there be-
ing a heavy shipping demand. Some
nice cut heather is appearing and it

Horticultural Society Meeting.

In the absence of President E. James
on account of illness, the regular meet-
ing of the Pacific Coast Horticultural
Society, held on the evening of Dccem-
))er 2, was presideil over by H. Plath.
A special feature of the meeting was
the nomination of officers for the en-
suing year, which resulted as follows,
all being incumbent: President, E.
.lames; vice-president, Tom Fenton;
corresponding secretary, W. A. Hofing-
hoff; financial secretary, Henry Maier;
treasurer, .1. A. Axell; librarian, Mr.
Kenipf ; assistant librarian, Daniel Ray-
monil; trustee, ]Sr. Poss. H. Plath was
nominated for usher. The following
names were submitted for the exhibi-

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

Although the report is somewhat be-
lated, ])erhaps it should be recorded
that there was more business done in
the flower stores this Thanksgiving than
was the case for a number of years.
Stock was abundant in all varieties,
excej)t carnations, and most of the store-
keepers laid in all tiiey could manage to
hold. By evening there was hardly a
flower left, although fresh supplies were
brought in that morning.

The a|>])arent oversupply of chrysan-
themums now has been cleaned u*!) and
good flowers are in demand at prices
that afford some margin of ])rofit to
the grower. The late varieties still to
come j)rori,ii.se to be remunerative. Car-

,.u.at,Wi^ aic ;ipi, p.liaj.ti^>'I, iuid will be
•more 'iTi * rtoTTrrmft'from now on. Roses

; are arri\ing of good quality and there
is gL go?Hl sale for them. Vjolets, most-
ly'jOolifornian, are selling fairly well.
They are not used so much in corsage
bou(|uets as in former years. There are
few snapdragons in the market, but
some excellent bouvardias are coming
in and are mucii used. Cy<damens, mums
and jirinuilas comjiose the bulk of the
])ot plants. A few abnormal cinerarias
were seen last week. The supply of
ferns is abundant.

Various Notes.

Four years ago last Ai)ril the Misses
Risdon and Wagner, who occupied a
flower stand in front of the Savoy hotel,
were summarily ejected from their ]dace
of business, notwithstanding the fact
that their rent was ]iaid to the end of
the montli. The ]ieriod to elapse on
which they had i)aid rent included
1-aster, and of course the ladies were
]ierturb('d ami lirought suit against the
]iroj)rietor of tlie hotel. The law's de-
lays here are well exemplified, inasmuch
as the case was only Ijrought to trial
last week. The ]dainf'ifrs sued for .$2,000
an<l were awarded .tl,.')0(», which should
])artly solace them for the annoyance
to which they were put. But to add to
the delay, the defemlant has appealed
the case, so it yet may be some time be-
fore the balm is finally a])plied.

No report was made of the Thanks-

was too busy— so perhaps it is fitting
to write a few words about the big day.
Thanksgiving day surely furnished a
surprise to the florists, bookkeepers re-
porting the week's sales to be practi-
cally double those of last year. Cer-
tain it is that there was hardly enough
good stock to supply the demand. Every
grower was cut down to the limit in
an effort to appease the demands of the
retailers. Everything sold, and good
prices were the rule. Mums brought
from $3 to $6 per hundred; carnations
$1 to $1.50; roses $1.50 to $5. Mum

the finding of a fourth potato weevil in
the United States, which was discovered

Andes is taken to indicate clearly it is
the home of this disease of the potato.

The Market.

The weather during the last week
became more favorable for Christmas
business. The atmosphere is cold and
the ground covered with snow. The flo-
rists' windows throughout the city are
filled with poinsettias. Christmas greens,
wild smilax, etc., are seen everywhere.
Chrysanthemums are a thing of the
past. Carnations are in good supply
and the stems are more rigid. Eoses
are good and the demand takes care of
the cut. Orchids and valley are satis-
factory and are in heavy demand. The
outlook for Christmas is promising and
florists are preparing fully for the in-
crease in sales at the close of the year.
Artificial wreaths for cemetery and dec-
orative use can be had in all styles and
sizes. Baskets artistically arranged with
boxwood, ruscus, statice and greens of
all kinds are displayed in the windows.
Some fine azalea and poinsettia plants,
prettily arranged in baskets, are meet-
ing with favor and many orders for
these have already been placed.

Various Notes.

Metz & Bateman had a fine F. T. D.
window last week. Window cards were
used to explain the object of the system
and a list of members in all parts of
the country was shown, to give the pub-
lic a good idea as to how Christmas flow-
ers could be sent to friends, regardless
of their distance from this city.

Krueger Bros, have some first-class
roses in many leading varieties, which
promise a good cut for the holidays.

Their attractive appearance, easy culture, hardiness, dis-
tinctive originality and longevity have made these Japanese

ties. All are well established in odd and fancy Japanese
Glazed Pots which make them most attractive.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

There was no rush last week, but
business was good and orders for the
holiday trade are coming in more heav-
ily than last year at this time. Wed-
dings and other social events have taken
a slump. Cut flowers were not so plen-
tiful last week as previously. Some
chrysanthemums still are seen. Carna-
tions have become scarce, a condition
attributed to the fact that growers are
holding back the cut for Christmas.
Eoses are plentiful and few are left
unsold. Sweet peas and violets are
coming in nicely, but the demand for
these as yet is not strong. Narcissi are
good and fair prices are being realized
on them. Some fine pot plants of cycla-
mens and begonias are shown in some
of the windows.

Various Notes.

The Stuppy Floral Co., of St. Joseph,
as usual is sending in some fine cycla-
mens. These cyclamens are hard to
beat in quality; every plant is a speci-
men and finds a ready sale.

G. K. Parker, manager of the George
M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., reports
business good last week. This concern
will have a large quantity of azaleas
in bloom for Christmas. Mr. Parker
went hunting last week and brought
back 125 rabbits, a few quails and a
squirrel. He must have had a machine
gun!

The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has its
greenhouses filled with excellent Christ-
mas stock. The cyclamens and be-
gonias are particularly fine; also a
number of the new begonia, Mrs. Peter-
son. The cut flower range will be in
full crop for the holidays.

T. .T. Noll & Co. report that the sup-
ply of stock has diminished to some ex-
tent, except roses, which are plentiful.
They have received another line of
fancy baskets and orders for supplies
have been unusually heavy.

W. J. Barnes has cleared all his
mums. He reports that it was the best
mum season he has ever had. Funeral
work was unusually heavy with him
last week.

Adolph Mohr is sending in a nice lot
of Cincinnati begonias. He has many
advance orders for these for the holi-
days.

Frank McCabe, of the A. L. Eandall
Co., Chicago, and J. A. Peterson, of
Cincinnati, were visitors last week.

made good. Everyone who has received
early shipments from us has been greatly
pleased with the variety and repeat orders
have been coming in dally. We have a very
large stock.

A "sport" from Nephrolepis Scholzelil,
with longer, narrower, gracefully drooping
fronds. It is not so compact in growth as
Scholzelil, 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.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Milwaukee had its first snow storm of
the season December 8. Only about two
inches of snow fell, however, and the
temperature did not go much below
freezing. This seemed to give business
an impetus and conditions in general
seem to be good. The chrysanthemum
season is about over, as the daily cut has
dwindled down to almost nothing. This
increases the diMiiand for other stock.
Carnations are supplying the extra de-
mand in good shape, as the cut is fairly
large and the quality is good. From
present indications, carnations will be
right for the Christmas trade and it
looks as though there will be a sutUcieut
quantity of good stock to supply the
extra demand at that time.

Roses are rather scarce at this time,
although the demand is being taken care
of. As is usual wiien this class of stock
is not plentiful, the shorter grades are
in greatest demand ami arc cleaned out
each morning, at good prices. Tiiere is
a medium sujiply of Kusscll roses and
the cut is t)eiiig disposed of to good ad-
vantage. While there should be a good-
sized crop of roses for Christmas, it is
doubtful whether there will be enough
to take care of the demand. Red roses
will be especially short and some orders
on this stock will have to be cut and
something else substituted.

The sui)ply of violets is good this year
compared with last year's, both as to
quality and (juantity. The demand, how-
ever, is heavy and no difficulty is being
experienced in moving the entire cut at
fairly good prices. This stock should

Various Notes.

Milwaukee's "Four Hundred" were
"Ut in force Thursday evening, De-

cember 7, when the annual charity
ball for the benefit of the Mil-
waukee Infants' hospital was held
at the Auditorium. The A. F.
Kellner Co. took charge of the decora-
tions, as in the past, and converted the
hall into a bower. The old-fashioned
bouquet, surrounded by lace paper,
seemed to be the most popular, but
quite a number of the younger women
wore their bouquets suspended from
their arms in small baskets. The ball
always brings a few extra dollars into
the florists' net and gives them an op-
portunity to produce something original,
which has a good chance of being taken

up by society in general, if the effect
is pleasing.

Frank Berndt, superintendent of the
greenhouse plant of the Holton & Hun-
kel Co., at Brown Deer, Wis., left Sat-
urday, December 9, on a trip east.

H. V. Hunkel made a short business
trip to Detroit, Mich., returning Decem-
ber 9.

Among the visitors last week were
F. A. Parkmire, of Kogers Park, 111.;
Hugo Rudolph, of Manitowoc, Wis.; B.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

It has been rather surprising to note
the great difference in business during
the last week. The early Christmas
shopping has livened up things consid-
erably and everybody is busy preparing
for the usual rush. Orders to the pres-
ent date appear to be quite satisfactory
and indications point to a good busi-
ness. The shipments of laurel and other
greens are good and holly is well ber-
ried. The wholesale market reports ac-
tive business in cut flowers and holiday
supplies. The daily shipments are meet-
ing all present demands.

The chrysanthemum supply is not
noarlv so large, nor the domaiid so
great', nor the quality so good. A good
few Golden Wedding, Chadwick and
Monev Maker mums sell easily, espe-
cially" for funeral work, of which there
has 'been much. Pompons are about
over for this season. Koses have not
been up to the usual standard, but now
are better. Moutrose, Francis Scott
Key, Ophelia and Aaron Ward still are
in steady demand and move easily. The
carnation crop for the holidays prom-
ises well, but the supply at this time is
not large. The red varieties are espe-
cially scarce. Violets maintain their
good standard and clear well at ad-
vanced prices. Pink and white bou-
vardias move freely. Orchids and gar-
denias sell well; the high price of val-
ley keeps down the demand for this
item. Stevia is plentiful. Paper

George T. Boucher is showing a large
quantity of Christmas baskets in many
sizes, which contain fillings of berries,
moss and foliage. The baskets sell well
8nd advance orders are good.

Edwin C. Kaelber, Inc., has some at-
tractive novelties for the holiday. He
reports trade as exceptionally good,
with a good quantity of wedding and

lems of Eetail Florists" will be the
title of George T. Boucher's talk at the
Eochester florists' monthly meeting,
which is to be held next Monday, De-
cember 18.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Crosman
have returned from a visit with rela-

The window of H. E. Wilson was a
blaze of color during the week end. A

canopy of red frieze was used at the
top of the window, with poinsettias
and bells suspended around the window.
Decorated wreaths of red and green,
vases of poinsettias and ruscus, with
numerous small baskets of boxwoods
and artificial flowers, were grouped in
the bottom.

The Rorfsts' Review

DSCIHBBB 14, 1916.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The weather has been cold and
snappy since Thanksgiving and has
stimulated trade to considerable extent.
The supply of stock from the local
greenhouses has been of unusually good
quality, with roses in the lead. Hoosier
Beauty, Eichmond, Shawyer, Eussell
and Ophelia have the biggest demand.
American Beauties are meeting with a
good call. Carnations are of good qual-
ity, but rather scarce, as most of . the
growers are holding back their stock
for the Christmas demand.

Orchids are to be had in many fine
varieties and the demand is good. Sin-
gle violets are becoming more plentiful
daily. Easter lilies and callas are in
fine supply. Narcissi are moving well.
Antirrhinums in fine condition, with
big, long spikes, bring $1.50 and $2
per dozen. Chrysanthemums have dis-
appeared from the market entirely,
after a long and profitable season.
Sweet peas and valley are in good de-
mand for corsage work.

The quantity of business done dur-
ing November far exceeded that of No-
vember of 1915. Everyone is on the
qui vive for the Christmas trade and
preparations are well under way for the
biggest holiday of the year. Indica-
tions point to a scarcity in blooming
plants, particularly azalea and poin-
settia plants. Many of the growers'
stock of poinsettias proved to be in-
ferior this year, while the azaleas have
but recently arrived from abroad and
will require some stringent methods on
the florists' part to bring them into
bloom for the holidays.

Various Notes.

The Flick Floral Co. put up elaborate
decorations for the Nieger-Fox recep-
tion in the ballroom of the Hotel
Anthony last week.

Markey Bros, were busy with funeral
work last week.

The Doswell Floral Co. is receiving
some fine Ophelia roses and single vio-
lets from its greenhouses. E. F.

Creenhonse 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 Eeview 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.

ANOTHER MAIN NEEDED.

I am enclosing a sketch of my range,
consisting of two greenhouses for grow-
ing purposes and a small propagating
house. I have recently had a hot water
heating system installed. The large
greenhouse has solid beds, as I intend
to grow sweet peas in it. It is piped
as follows: Around one end and one
side is a coil of seven 2-inch returns.
On the other side is a shorter coil of
six 2-inch returns. All of these are
supplied by one 3-inch flow. I have
contended from the beginning that the
amount of flow is insufiicient. On firing
up, I found that the bottom pipes in
the coils were cold and this seemed to
prove my contention to be correct. The
piping is supposed to be capable of
maintaining a temperature of 60 de-
grees in zero weather, but I am sure
it will not do so.

The other greenhouse has five 2-inch
returns on one side and four 2-inch re-
turns on the other. These also are sup-
plied by one 3-inch flow. This house
requires a temperature of 50 degrees in
zero weather. The little propagating
house has a coil of ten 1-inch pipes all
around, under the benches; these are
fed with one 1%-inch flow and the de-
sired temperature is 70 degrees.

Mention The Review when yon write.

I have a Capitol sectional boiler with
a guaranteed radiation of 46.50 feet.
The top of the boiler is below the level
of the returns. A 30-gallon expansion
tank is placed about fifteen feet above
the top of the boiler. A Honeywell gen-
erator also is used. You will notice
that all the returns are around the sides
and ends of the houses — none through
the middle. This is desirable, especially
in the large greenhouse, where sweet
peas are to be grown.

C. G. J.— N. Y.

The amount of radiation that can be
carried by a 3-inch main will depend
on the number and size of the returns,
on the height of the flow and especially
on the height of the returns above the
water level of the boiler. In this case
the height of the returns above the
boiler is not stated, but it probably is
not great. Under these conditions, in
a house less than 100 feet in length, I
would not care to carry more than 800
square feet of radiating surface or to
connect with more than eight 2-inch re-
turns.

side of the door and runs on the walls

Here's the Valve

for You

REASONS— A ROUND DOZEN

Can be repacked under full steam pressure.

The only valve that comes packed, ready for service.

All parts are renewable.

Passages through the body are free and unobstructed, as the

smallest area is in excess of that of the connecting pipe.
The seating surfaces are regrindable.
It is warranted for working steam pressures up to 150 pounds.

Ordinary valves run from 60 to 125 lbs. pressure.
The body is made of special close-grained iron — pipe expansion

won't cause it to leak as In the case of other valves.
The seat and disc are of durable nickel alloy.
The stem is of high tensile bronze.

All other parts are of genuine Lunkenheimer Steam Bronze.
Easy-gripping handwheel.
Every valve is stamped with an arrow indicating direction of

steam flow.

Simplicity of design in any mechanical device spells strcngtii and long service. Complex, complicated,
involved and intricate mechanisms are to be avoided as a plague.

A boy can see and understand the working of the Lunkenheimer Valve. It's as simple as 2 and 2. And
just as surely as 2 and 2 make 4, not sometimes, but all the time, the Lunkenheimer Valve works — not some-
times, but all the time. «

Every AGMCO steam heating plant is equipped with Lunkenheimer valves. To be sure, the initial cost is more— but in the long
run, they cost less.

YOU axe a practical man. YOU know valves, too. And YOU'VE had valve

trouble, just when you've had no time to fool with it.

Here's your chance to dodge that trouble.

VARIOUS PROBLEMS IN PIPING.

Please give us instructions regarding
the piping of a greenhouse 25x100. Hot
water is to be used for heating it, and
the temperature desired is GO to 70 de-

grees. The height of the walls is four
feet. "What size and number of pipes
should be used if the walls and roof
are entirely of glass and the rafters are
sixteen feet long? Occasionally the out-
door temperature here drops to 15 de-
grees below zero.

We also enclose a pencil sketch of
a house 12x100, with 4-foot walls and
8-foot rafters. Please inform us how
many and what size of pipes will be re-
quired to heat this house if the walls
are entirely of glass; also if the back
wall is of boards. Describe how the
pipes should be run, and state also
whether the hot water heater shown in
the enclosed circular will heat the
house. You will note that the heater
has a large firebox, which is surrounded
by water at all times.

Please tell us, also, what piping
should be used in a house forty to
seventy-five feet long and of the same
dimensions otherwise as the second
house we have described. In other
words, what effect does the length of a
house have on the piping? R. M. — 111.

For a house 25x100, with glass side
and end walls four feet high, to be
heated to a temperature of 60 to 70 de-
grees when the outside temperature is
15 degrees below zero, we would sug-
gest using three 2%-inch hot water
mains and eighteen 2-inch returns.
Place one flow upon each plate and the
other two feet below the ridge. Six
returns may be in coils upon each wall
or under the side benches, and the
others may be distributed under the
middle benches.

To heat a house 12x100, with walls
four feet high and with 8-foot rafters,
to 60 degrees when the walls are all of
glass, we would use three 2V2-inch flow
pipes and nine 2-inch returns, arranging
the pipes as suggested for the other
house, except that there would only be
three returns connected with each flow
pipe. Two flows and ten returns might
also be used. If the north wall is of
boards, leave out one of the returns on
that side, and if the wall is not much
exposed a 2-inch flow pipe may be used
upon the north plate.

We would not make any particular
difference in the piping of houses from
forty to 100 feet long, except that 2-
inch pipe may be substituted for the
2 1^ -inch flows in houses forty and fifty
feet in length, and it would answer if
1%-inch pipe were used for the returns,
increasing the number proportionately.

It is difficult to make a definite esti-
mate of the capacity of a boiler from
the grate area ouly. If it has a liberal
amount of fire surface, we would con-
sider that a boiler having an 18-inch
grate is adapted for 300 to 325 square
feet of hot water radiation. For this,
however, we would prefer a smoke pipe
at least eight inches in diameter, in-
stead of six or seven inches.

It is seldom that a greenhouse twelve
feet wide has rafters eight feet long,
or four feet of glass in the walls. With
only two feet of glass in each wall and
rafters seven feet long, the amount of
radiation could be reduced twenty-five
per cent. A 50-foot house would then
require 300 square feet of radiation.

Watch Your Condensation

Heating Systems are very often under comparatively low pressure, and it is
desirable to remove the condensation from them as quickly as possible and
at the same time to return this condensation to the lioiler, which may be at a
considerably higher level than the apparatus drained, or a long distance from
it. In such cases the

«

Detroit" System

is the most effectivs machine for draining the pipes, discharging the con-

ny desired point. It is automatic in its operation, requiring

practically no attention from the engineer, and is much more economical

densation to any desired point. It is automatic in its operation, requiring
ly no attention from the engineer, and is much more econom'-~'
than any other piece of apparatus that can be obtained for similar duty.

The "Detroit" System is so simple in its operation that when fully realized,
the possibilities, and new uses, will suggest themselves.

I wJIsh to report that I have used my No. 45 KROESCHELL WATER TUBE
STEAM BOILER for the past two seasons, and will say I could not compare it
with any former boiler, as it is so far superior in every way that there is no
comparison whatever.

It does the work of two tubular steam boilers— saves fuel, needs less atten-
tion, as the fife lasts much longer— is easily cleaned, there being no flues to clean
every night as was the case with the old boilers.

If 1 should need another boiler. I would not think of buying any other kind.

With best wishes. I remain,

The Florists^ Review

Decbmbbr 14, 1916.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

The Market.

The flower stores have taken on a
Christmas appearance and from all re-
ports business •will be better than ever
before. Azaleas probably will be
scarce, but there is an abundance of
everything else. Carnations undoubt-
edly will reach $1.50 per dozen, with
the reds even higher.

Until now there has not been much
call for wreaths, but that is not un-
usual, as many customers have not been
trained to shop early.

Various Notes.

Fred C. Covill has had a most at-
tractive display during the week of
red baskets attractively filled with box
and red immortelles and tied with red
ribbon. The display was simple yet
most effective.

Julius, the Florist, expects to do a
tremendous Christmas business and is
■ making ample preparations.

Ernest Chamberlain has been busy
with funeral work. Mr. Chamberlain
believes that Christmas trade will be as
good as usual, or even better.

The azaleas received by the Peck-
ham Floral Co. came so late that for
some time there were doubts as to their
making Christmas. However, by ju-
dicious forcing Mr. Beid, the manager,
believes he has succeeded in realizing
on the majority of the plants.

Edward M. Pierce will have a fine
crop of carnations for the holidays.
Mr. Pierce reports business good.

H. V. Sowle reports business good.
Mr. Sowle 's new store on Bowditch
street is a great success. W. M. P.

HOLYOKE, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Garden-
ers' Club was held December 5 at the
Gallivan Bros, greenhouses, Smiths
Ferry. President Butler presided over
a good attendance and a lively meeting
was held, at which several interesting
topics came up for discussion. The chief
interest centered in the election of offi-
cers for the coming year. George
Strugnell was elected president and
H. E. Downer vice-president. James
Whiting was reelected secretary for his
fourth term. His report showed the
club to be in a good condition and it
is satisfactory to note a steady progress
from year to year.

K. B. UUinan, F. D. Keyes and S. J.
Gallivan were elected as the executive
committee. Three new members were
elected. H. E. D.

Greenhouse White

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems;
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

The value of a pure white, light-reflecting sur-
face, which will diffuse and re-use every ray of
light, cannot be over-estimated.

Greenhouse White will stay white — therefore,
it is the paint to use.

Remember,

all ordinary paint will not do.
The conditions are extreme— not
to say remarkable, and it takes
a paint complying with certain
technical requirements to gire
satisfaction. You will find
Greenhouse White to be the

The Market.

Business as a whole is fair. Deco-
rative and Christmas supply lines are
busy, but the flower market is only
fair. The shipping trade is good.

Boses of all kinds are in excellent
supply. The choice grades, however,
are not selling so well as the shorter
ones. Carnations, too, are in excellent
supply and Easter lilies and callas are
plentiful. Receipts of Paper White
narcissi are fair and the stock meets a
good market. The supply of double vio-
lets is equal to present needs; the sin-
gles generally sell readily. Valley, or-
chids and sweet peas have enjoyed a
good demand. Stevia sells satisfactor-
ily. The supply of greens of all kinds
and Christmas material is large.

Various Notes.

The William Murphy Co. has been
marketing a considerable quantity of
holly for the holiday trade.

C. E. Critchell's boxwoods and red
berries last week experienced a heavy
demand.

J. A. Peterson & Sons have an ex-
cellent lot of Mrs- J. A. Peterson,

as cyclamens.

DETBOIT, MICH.

The Market.

Business has slowed up a bit and
prices have stiffened. Boses are scarce,
except White Killarney, and short cuts
are almost unobtainable. Beauties
range in price from $1.50 to $6 per
dozen; other roses sell at $4 to $10 per
hundred. Mums have left us and car-
nations are becoming more plentiful and
make $3 and $4 per hundred. The de-
mand for valley has weakened and the
stock is none too good. Sweet peas ar-
rive and find ready buyers. Orchids
again are sky-high in price. Violets sell
well, including the single California
stock.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Bowling Club held a
well attended meeting at the Broadway
alleys December 7. Philip Scott, of
Buffalo, one of the visitors, has entered
the employ of the Atlas Floral Co. M.
Bloy was a star bowler. He brought
some choice mums from Guenther's, in

some new pompons on display. Decem-
ber 14 captains were elected, followed
by bowling.

If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could
into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for
our customers.

Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in
another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that
way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?

Figure it out for yourself and then write us your needs.

Valuable Aid

in Transplanting

Carnations

Mr. Arthur Taylor, of Boonton,
N. J., writes:

"The Skinner System is highly
valuable in transplanting carna-
tions from the field to the green-
house. After watering them the
nighi before, the soil was in ideal
condition so that we could dig the
plants up with every root intact. The
plants were strong and started right
off growing. They have done better
than any lot of plants I have ever
had."

The Florists' Review

Dbcembbk 14, 1916.

BAY CITY, MICH.

The regular meeting of the Saginaw-
Bay City Floricultural Society was held
December 4, at the store of E. L. Leidy,
in Bay City. The exhibition of roses
at this meeting was most interesting.
Exhibits were made by Boehringer
Bros., E. L. Leidy, John Marsh and
Martin Keit, of Bay City; Grohman the
Florist, Wm. Eoethke Floral Co., Chas.
Frueh & Sons and J. B. Goetz Sons, of
Saginaw. The attendance was the larg-
est in several months. John Irvine and
C. O. Wilcox acted as judges and
awarded the honors as follows: J. B.
Goetz Sons, first; the "Wm. Eoethke
Floral Co., second; Chas. Frueh & Sons,
third; Boehringer Bros., fourth; Groh-
man the Florist, fifth. J. B, Goetz Sons
had the largest display and the great-
est number of varieties.

Speaking of the quality of roses
grown in northeastern Michigan, it is
amazing what can be done with a little
care and patience. Eoses with 4-foot
stems were shown and many of the
vases contained roses with 3-foot stems.
Hadley, Eichmond, Hoosier Beauty,
Shawyer, Killarney, Mock, Ophelia, Eus-
sell, Sunburst, Ward, Kaiserin and
White Killarney were the varieties
shown. Large, heavy buds, stiff stems
and nice, clean foliage characterized
the flowers shown. Taking the weather
during the month of November into
consideration, much credit is due the
growers. The judges expressed much
pleasure at being able to judge so splen-
did a showing of roses.

Members from out of town were: Mr.
and Mrs. E. H, Adams, of Chesaning;
C. A. Hawley, of Vassar; A. J. Packer,
of Caro; C. 0. Wilcox, of the W. W.
Barnard Co., Chicago. Mr. Wilcox said
it was a wonderful showing of roses,
comprising as good stock as he had
seen anywhere. Gee,

Columbus, O. — Friends of Frank
Miller and wife, of the Columbus Floral
Co., were sorry to hear they were going
to the hospital for an operation on Mr.
Miller for rupture and treatment for
burns received three years ago by Mrs.
Miller, and all the craft wishes them
both soon back to their good health
again.

Marysville, Kan. — H. R. Fisher has
placed an order with the John C. Mon-
ingcr Co., Chicago, for the erection of
two more greenhouses in the spring,
one 27x92, the other 24x80. During the
recent dull season a new oflSce building
30x36 was erected, with panel walls and
steel ceiling, with a new icebox, 7x9,
and the whole place was fitted up in
first-class, modern style.

WHY BUCK
AGAINST THE INEVITABLE?

What's the good in trying to get a half -nelson on the inevitable f 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 so thoroughly established, so universally recognized as the one perfect material, that to use it in Greenhouse
construction or appliances is like floating down stream.

So quit "kicking against the pricks" — get into line and use the one 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.

SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.

[Continued from page 98.]

F. J. Bertrand, Tom Taylor, A. Nevra-
mont, Mr. Boche and K. Lohrmann. An
application for membership in the so-
ciety from Carl Biedenbach, superin-
tendent of Mills College grounds, was
favorably acted upon.

For the flower show committee, Mr.
Plath reported all bills settled and all
prizes paid. The committee was given
a vote of thanks. It' was decided to
have a smoker at the next meeting.
Several Suggestions were made, mostly
by Secretary Hofinghoff, for stimulat-
ing interest in the regular meetings and
making the organization more effective
in other ways. Along this line it was
voted to create a reception committee
of three to see that new members are
made acquainted and are properly re-
ceived. It was also voted to have a
lecture committee of six, each pledged
to secure two lectures during the year.
A committee was appointed for the
stimulation of attendance, to report at
the next meeting. The only exhibit of
the evening was awarded ninety-eight
points for its exceptional merit. It was
a new brasso-cattleya, named Queen of
California, said to be the first seedling
orchid grown in the state. The plant
is 9 years old and this is the first
time it has bloomed. The exhibit was
made by J. A. Carbone, and he was
given a vote of thanks for displaying
the plant. As a field day it was de-
cided to visit E. James' place next
Sunday.

Various Notes.

John Gill, of the Gill Nursery Co.,
Berkeley, says he is shipping more rose
plants than ever before; all to distant
points, there being little demand in this
immediate vicinity. He has one of the
new greenhouses about finished and will
use it for pot stock, with the intention
of branching out in that direction.
Heretofore he has not gone heavily into
that line.

H. Plath is installing a new boiler at
his place, "The Ferneries."

On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Mac-
Rorie entertained the ladies' auxiliary
of the Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety at the Ladies' Club, Burlingame.
There was a large attendance and the
affair was most enjoyable. John Gill
won the men 's prize at whist, which
was a box of cigars. Miss Hofinghoff
won the ladies' prize.

W. A. Mabee, secretary for Geo. C.
Roeding, of the Fancher Creek Nursery,
Fresno, Cal., was in town a few days
ago.

The Garden City Pottery Co., of
which D. Raymond is manager, now is
handling a full line of jardinieres and
cut flower vases.

Tom Fenton, vice-president of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, has
been in the hospital on account of trou-
ble with his feet.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is holding
back its roses for a large cut in a
couple of weeks.

The Growers ' Cut Flower Co. still has
a good cut of pompons and reports a
strong market. This company made a
large planting of ranunculi and anem-
ones and will begin to cut early in
the year. It also has a lot of new va-
riety Spencer sweet peas, indoor-grown,
which it will begin to cut for
Christmas.

J. P. Parker, of Santa Cruz, Cal., has
been sending in some orchids that have

helped to relieve the shortage a little.

MacRorie & McLaren report a good
season in Dutch bulbs; the large ship-
ment they received from Holland has
been sold out. This company has a fine
lot of begonia, cyclamen and poinsettia
plants coming on for Christmas.

Messrs. Matria and Eppstein, of the
Art Floral Co., say they had all the
Thanksgiving business they could han-
dle comfortably. They are looking for-
ward to a banner Christmas trade.

Nice American Beauty roses now are
coming in from the Hillsborough Nurs-
ery Co,

John Kelly, formerly gardener for
the late Governor Leland Stanford, a
unique character of early days in Cali-
fornia, passed away at Sacramento De-
cember 1, at the age of 90 years. He
left an estate valued at $250,000. For
the last four years Mr. Kelly, adjudged
incompetent, was under the guardian-
ship of D. H. Miller. He had no known
relatives, but it is expected that a legal
contest over the estate will ensue on
account of various claims of relation-
ship.

A. Traversaro, who has been with
Pelicano, Rossi & Co. for about eleven
years, has accepted a position with
H. A. Hyde, prominent nurseryman and
florist of Watsonville, Cal., and will
leave to take up his new duties as man-
ager of Mr. Hyde's retail store Janu-
ary 1. S. H. G.

SPIDER WEBS IN GREENHOUSE.

Our rose house frequently is a net-
work of spider webs. We cannot un-
derstand this, as there are no spiders
in sight and so far no damage has been
done. We fear that the spiders may
cause trouble and want your advice as
to what should be done. It is likely
that these webs are spun by harmless
spiders, but if the insects are injurious,
how should they be gotten rid of? To-
bacco fumigation has had no effect on
them. Light fumes of cyanide have
been used as a precaution against in-
sect pests, but the webs still appear.

G. F. C— Kan.

So far as I can learn from your let-
ter, the spiders have done no harm
whatever to your roses. Spiders often
are helpful and rarely harmful to plant
life. Cyanide fumigation would un-
questionably destroy all injurious in-
sects and I do not believe that even
spiders are immune from its deadly
fumes. If you find any signs of dam-
age done by these insects, write again
and send one of the malefactors, if you
catch it. In the meantime, I do not
think you have any cause for worry.

Springfield, 111. — Wednesday, Novem-
ber 24, marked the opening of Spring-
field's new flower store. The new es-
tablishment is that of the Springfield
Floral Co. and is located in the new
Broadwell building, on one of the city's
busiest corners, Fifth and Washington
streets. The store interior presents a
handsome appearance, having been
finished in mahogany and the walls in
delft blue. John Bryant is manager of
the store. Mr. Bryant is well and fa-
vorably known to the trade, having had
thirteen years' experience in some of
the best places of the central west and
south. Mr. Bryant resigned his position
as manager and artist for A. C. Brown,
of this city, to assume the management
of the new place.

Can YOU Say This?

"I have the finest greenhouses
in this state."

You could look the whole world in the face and say it if your houses were
AGMCO. If you have any doubts about the matter, ask Charles Steidle, of
Olivette, Mo., for this is just what he said after touring about the state.

You know Charles Steidle, the owner of the plant. He is one of the youngest, most alert and pro-
gressive growers in the Trade, lie knows ^'reonhouses— was practically reared in one— and is an
expert rose grower, lie knows, too, what a ticklish thing rose growing is. Ventilation, heating and
light conditions must be just so, or a crop that should develop into big profit may develop into a dead
loss. That's why Charles Steidie's entire plant is ACJMC'l'.

And it is a modern plant in every detail. It is the result of years of greenhouse
engineering skill brought to a focus and concentrated on three houses, 35x250 ft.
These are typical AGMCO houses. Everything about them is AGMCO, from
the concrete foundations of the columns and supports to the continuous line
of ventilators— from the vacuum heating system to the chimney, 54 in.x lOO ft.

Remember, procrastination is the thief of time. Now is the accepted time
for you, if you grow for profit! So just send us your shipping tag or
letterhead by return mail and we'll send you at once our new catalogue.
You'll be the gainer.

THIS greenhouse is one finished this past
summer and is 84 feet wide and 500
feet long. There are but two inside
supports across the entire house. Length-
wise the posts are set 16 ft. S}^ in. center to
center. This means also that the steel
arches are set 16 ft. 8}^ in. apart.

You will admit that it is easy work to drive
around inside with your wagons and plows.

Then look closely at the picture; notice the
size of the various steel members. Strength

A Greenhouse Construction
of Everlasting Lastingness

First Cost

r'S not what a thing actually costs at the start that
is its real cost. It is what it costs at the start,
combined with what it continues to costyou. That's
the only safe and sound way to tigure comparative costs
of our house of Everlasting Lastingness with any other
construction.

What a house continues to cost you, is of two kinds.

1. The continued cost of repairs.

2. The continued cost of the cost of less stock pro-
duced, and poorer quality of stock grown. A cost loss in
both quantity and quality.

To consider only the first cost and ignore the continued
cost, is only figuring half way.

Erection Cost

The erection cost of our Iron Frame house is less than
for the Semi-iron, so what you save in cost of materials
on one you come close to making up on erection saving on
the other.

The fact that so much of our Iron Frame is assembled
and hot-riveted or bolted together at our factories gives a
decided erection speed advantage over other constructions
of similar type.

^ Protection

It makes absolutely no difference what type of con-
struction you put up, the cost of the benches, ventilating
apparatus, heating system, glass, putty, paint stock, the
glazing and the painting will cost exactly the same in one
house as the other.

These thiogs are fixed costs.

This being so. it is only the logical thing to spend a
few dollars more and get a frame of Everlasting Lasting-
ness, that will protect these fixed costs and make their
expenditure a permanent investment.

That is exactly what the Lord & Burnham Iron Frame
construction does.

Productiveness

The telling test of a house is not/i
a plant house, but its yield in roses,
final test. A house, then, that will
quantity an^highest (luality of roses
duce practically anything.

A prominent grower, who has a
half-dozen or so of our wide Iron-
framers, says: " If you want to
aet top-notch prices, build top-
notch houses, that will grow top-
notch stock. Some houses may
produce top-notch some of the
time. What the grower wants is
a house that will do it most of
the time."

The fact that 75 "^i of the prize
winnings in the big shows are
won with stock grown in our
houses tells its own story of their
superior productiveness.

ts productiveness as

That's the actual

produce the greatest

can be made to pro-

Col

umns

We can build you an Iron Frame house as wide as 7,S
feet, and use only two columns. This we accomplish
without any elaborately involved system of truss-stiffen-
ing of the frame.

For those, however, who prefer more columns we will
gladly use them. But our houses up to 7<S feet are abun-
dantly strong with but two. For a time we extensively
used double angle iron columns, but the pipe column is
now a part of our standard construction. It is easy to
keep painted, and in most cases is sufficiently strong.

Rigidity

Loosening of glass tells of lack of rigidity. The fact
that our houses "stay tight" year after year lells its
own story of right glazing methods and entire frame
rigidity.

Wide Rafter Spacing

Some' itime? before anyone else had even started to
work out a construction with wide rafter spacing, we had
erected two big houses, using a spacing of eight sixteen-
inch lights of glass between rafters, instead of six. It
was a decided success— so much so that we have erected
for the same company eight other additional houses.

Not until two years after this radical improvement
did we advertise the fact of a wide-spaced construction.
In those two years we were systematically making close
observations, based on which we worked out a construc-
tion that went still a step farther. The present nine-
light spacing, or 12 feet (5 inches between rafters, is the
result.

It greatly reduces the number of rafters and columns
over the old six-light spacing, making one of the lightest,
prettiest houses you ever set foot in.

It's the model construction of today.

FIVE POINTS THAT HAVE
WON FOR US THE ACCOflf.
PANTING ENDORSEMENTS

All leaves are of a medium size, no small ones and no large ones.
Leaves are all uniform In color.

All leaves will stay pliable. ... ^

"Superiora" leaves are the best prepared Idnd, particularly under the present
conditions.

Philadelphia, Pa., 12/18/16.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: Having received bo many compliments on our
ready made Magnolia Wreaths, for their rich color and keep-
ing qualities, we in turn think we owe you a very high com-
pliment, as a great amount of credit is due to your "Supe-
riora" brand leaves.

We have tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered,
but we find your leaves to be far superior to all others, in
consequence of which we only use your leaves in the vast
amount of wreaths turned out by our factory.

Thanking you for your promptness in getting off our last
order, we remain.

Yours very truly,

Jos. Q. Neldinger Co.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 1, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: It is the opinion of the McCarthy Co. that your
good ilrm prepares the best leaf that has yet been offered
in the United States. It is well worth the difference be-
tween the prices offered by inferior manufacturers and your
agents. Yours respectfully,

(Signed) N. F. McCarthy & Co.

Providence, R. I., Dec. 9th, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux & Bros., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We have been buying leaves from you for the
past four years and have not had a single complaint against
them.

We feel that we can sell your leaves to people who have
used them once without any trouble. They rather pay the
difference than to buy other leaves elsewhere. I think that
it is a man's duty to let his manufacturer know the satisfac-
tion he gets out of his goods.

Hoping that you will continue to manufacture the same
quality of goods, we are,

Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. E. Koppelman.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 8, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: In regard to your "Superiora" Magnolia
Leaves we wish to say that we handled these leaves since
our entrance into business and have found same to be the
best leaves in the market. The sales of this leaf have been
growing with the same rapidity as our business.

Yours truly,-

Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 8. 1916.
Dr. H. Dux & Bro., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We note your favor of the 5th. Regarding your
Magnolia Leaves "Superiora" brand, we have used these for
the last four or five years and have always found they give
our customers entire satisfaction; — in fact, they are the best
leaves we have been able to obtain in the last few years.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) W. H. E.

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 8th, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We will continue to use "Superiora" exclus-
ively, as we consider it superior to any other leaf in the
market.

Since we handle "Superiora" we have not had one single
complaint. Every customer satisfied, no fear of unfair com-
petition, a fair and square deal from manufacturer to Jobber
and from jobber to retailer.

Yours very truly,

Smith & Young Co.,

Messrs. Dr. H. Dux & Bro., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We have been handling your "Superiora"
^lagnolia Leaves for the past six years, and find in all this
fime that we have had no complaints, but many compliments
'■n these goods. The trade is growing more with us every
^■ly for your leaves, as your records will show, and it is with
pleasure that we sell "Superiora" Magnolias, knowing that
^^"hen we do we are satisfying our customer with the best
there is to be had in Magnolia Leaves.

Yours very truly,

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 1, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla. _ ,, ^

Gentlemen: Since we are handling your Magnolia Leaves
our business has steadily grown. We attribute this to satis-
fled customers. Never as yet have we had a complaint from
them nor a carton returned. , ,, . j, j

We had a great deal of trouble with the old line we handled,
so many were returned to us as being unfit for use, either
mouldy or dried out, and not of a uniform size.

We can only offer praise to you for the superior goods you
are supplying us. Yours very truly,

(Signed) Cleveland Florists' Exchange.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 1, 1916.
Messrs. Dr. H. Dux & Bros., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: Many thanks for your prompt shipment of last
thousand cartons of MAGNOLIA LEAVES, as we were over-
sold on our Christmais orders and were a little anxious.

Other Magnolia Preparers have tried to induce us to stock
up their goods "just as good as Dux's" at a cheaper price,
but we have in each instartce told them frankly that it
was a case of quality with us and that we did. not think
their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our busi-
ness, and will not take a chance of losing it — in fact, our
traveling men are often greeted as "Magnolia Kings."

Wishing you the compliments of the season, we are,
Very truly yours,

(Signed) The McCallum Co., Inc.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 2, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We are pleased to state that the quality of
your Magnolia Leaves is certainly the best ever manufactured
in this country, and It is a pleasure to offer such stock for
sale. Undoubtedly in the future we shall be able to place
large orders with you again.
Wishing you every success, we are.

Yours very truly,

Gentlemen: I have been handling the "Superiora" Mag-
nolia Leaves for the past five years or more and And them
to be very satisfactory In every way. My customers Insist
on having the "Superiora" brand Magnolia Leaves, as they
claim these are the best and do not dry out or become mouldy,
and every leaf can be used, and when this is taken Into con-
sideration, they are also the cheapest besides being the best.
Yours respectfully,

(Signed) C. E. Critchell.

Montreal, Canada, Nov. 30, 1916.
Dr. H. Dux Co., Inc., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: In response to your letter of recent date, we
take pleasure in stating that we have been very much satis-
fied with the quality of your "Superiora" Magnolia Leaves.

As you will notice, our business has Increased with you this
year over double of what we purchased last season, and I
think you will agree with us that that is a good recommenda-
tion in itself — that the trade in Canada appreciates the dur-
ability and keeping qualities of your leaf.

We would also mention that we appreciate the Integrity,
promptness and good business methods that have charac-
terized all your dealings with us. Yours very truly,

(Signed) Montreal Floral Exchange, Ltd.

New York, Nov. 27, 1916.
Messrs. Dr. Dux Bros., Jacksonville, Fla.

Gentlemen: We beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your
last shipment of Magnolias and Oak Leaves, and we are
indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every way to
any we have heretofore received from you or anyone else,
and considering the difficulty you must experience in procur-
ing dyes and other chemicals used In the preparation of
your different products.

We cannot but praise the appearance and finish of your
last shipment, which has been like all previous shipments,
as near as perfect leaf can be obtained.

We further state that our experience In leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory — colors vary and leaves
mould quickly. As usual you may book our order for one
thousand cartons (1,000) of Magnolia Leaves. With best
wishes, Yours truly,

(Signed) Reed & Keller.

HEART INTEREST IN

WINTER WINDOWS

In these intensely practical times the appeal to sentiment is stronger
than ever before. Consequently, store-keepers in all lines of business are
capitalizing sentiment, although few of them have merchandise which
lends itself to the work as readily as do plants and cut flowers.

AKING our cue from the

T"sob sister" now on the
staff of every daily news-
paper, we will find a ready
connection between heart
interest and the private
purse — an appeal to one
will open the other. At
^=^=^^ least so it has been found
by florists who have adopt-
ed tlie plan described here as the work
of John E. Stelzig, of Belief ontaine, 0.
Mr. Stelzig says his sales never were
better for the time the "sentimental"
window was on and that no other dis-
play has so clung in the memories of
those who saw it.

The idea of the Stelzig
window was to picture
two i)oorly clad but not
unhappy children, a boy
and a girl, who stop, in
passing down the street,
to look in at the beauti-
ful plants and flowers in
the window of the warm,
comfortable home of
more fortunate children.
To got a better view they
climb upon the gate.

How It Was Done.

It was a night scene,
so planned to bring the
special features into
higher relief. The mate-
rial used was all full size
and much care was exer-
cised to see that the per-
spective was correct.

The store window is
"fty-two inches wide and
a platform was built in
It 6x9 feet. The iron
posts ;ind the gate were
set thirty inches from
|np ylass, the brick-
lookiujr wall of the house
^J 8 i^ thirty-six inches
noni the gate and the
■■far nail of the room,
^een through the win-
"'^^■. was forty -two
>"^>ios farther back. This
^^"I'led space for the

J»y^- The "children"

er(. of sphagnum moss,
<^aref nily fiHed into
™>0'' suits and then

J^ll the details were
^^te-uled to with much

care, as the success of such a display
depends on the perfection of the little
points.

Many hundreds of persons viewed the
Stelzig window daily, for it was shown
when the weather was cold and stormy
and the conditions favorable to giving
the public the same point of view as the
"children" in the picture.

To Keep the Glass Clear.

One of the troubles at this season,
whether one has a heart-interest display
or merely uses the window for the stor-
age of cut flowers, is that steam forms
on the window when the water vapor in
the warm atmosphere of .the store comes

How an Ohio Florist Pulled the Heart Strings.

in contact with the cold glass. As the
flower store has an unusually moist at-
mosphere, its windows are the more lia-
ble to be coated with frost, particularly
in the coldest weather. Layer after
layer of moisture freezes to the pane, so
that the lower part sometimes becomes
covered with ice on the days when the
mercury is registering its minimum for
the year.

These are just the days when the flo-
rist is most desirous of making an at-
tractive display, to suggest to those who
may see it that they brighten up their
homes with flowers and plants. He can
afford the least of all storemen to have
his windows obscured at this season.

Heat in the front of
the store does little or
no good. In the old days,
the burning of gas-jets
in the window cleared
only a circle within a
few inches of the flame.

Closed-in Windows.

If one could construct
a double window it
would solve the diflicul-
ty. This is formed of
two panes of glass, with
an air chamber of about
one-half inch in thick-
ness between — similar in
design to the doors of
florists' refrigerators.
These are said to be ab-
solutely frost-proof, but
they are expensive if one
has large window space.
They are, also, bound
to become dirty in time,
oven if they are as air-
tight as can be made.

It seems that the closed-
in window, that is, the
one with the display
space shut off by a parti-
tion from the rest of the
store, is the one that is
most easily frosted. The
reason for this is obvi-
ous. Watering of plants,
the presence of vases
filled with water, etc.,
make the atmosphere in
the window more moist
than that in any other
part of the store. If
this moisture-laden air is
shut off from the rest of
the store, steam and
frost will surely form on
the glass whenever it is
much colder than the air.

12

The Florists^ Review

December 21, 1916.

If, however, there is no partition be-
tween the window and the store, the
circulation of the air will distribute the
water vapor from the window through
the rest of the store. Florists who have
a good circulation of air in their stores
and windows op6n to the rest of the
room, have, therefore, the least trouble
from frost or steam on their windows.

Attempts to create air circulation
often lead to drafts, which work harm
to the stock in the window and some-
times to stock in the rest of the store.
This is the drawback to the suggestion
of boring small holes in the sash at the
top and bottom of the window, and to
another, similar in character, of placing
ventilators in these places.

The Use of Fans.

The simplest and most common means
of removing steam and frost from the
window, as well as of preventing their
formation, is a small electric fan. A 10-
inch electric fan placed in a corner of
the window, and nearly facing it, will
create a current of air that will carry
away the moisture. This air movement
both removes frost and steam from the
glass and prevents their forming. Some
florists declare their use of an electric
fan in this way does not affect the
flowers and plants on display.

Cold water is excellent for removing
frost from the glass if it can be used in

such a way as not to injure the window
display. The florist may take his bulb
spray and throw cold water on the glass,
beginning at one corner of the top and
going back and forth until the bottom
is reached. If the construction of the
window permits, he may flow cold water
down the glass. This has to be done
once or twice a day.

Anti-Freeze Solutions.

For preventing the formation of steam
and frost, the application of a solution
of glycerine and alcohol, say twice a
. week, is effective, but the window is not
clear when thus coated. This method
is, however, used to some extent. The
quantity of each liquid varies with users.
One says dissolve the glycerine in sixty-
three percent alcohol; another says take
two parts of the latter to one of the for-
mer; still another recommends an equal
amount of each. One recipe calls for
the addition of some oil of amber to
improve the odor. For any and all of
these, linen cloths — old napkins, one sug-
gests— should be used to rub the liquid
on the glass.

If any reader uses a better method.
The Review will be glad to carry news
of it to the trade.

BAISINa THE aiTAIlANTY.

Secretary John Young has sent the

following letter, dated December 12,
to members of the S. A. F., and otliers
who have participated in previous na-
tional flower shows:

At a meeting of the National Flower Show
committee of the Society of American Florlgt«
held October IS and 14 last, In St. Louis, the
chairman, Greorge Asmus, and the secretary,
John Young, were Instructed to raise a fruar-
antee fund of $10,000 to cover the National
Flower Show to be held in St. Louis April c, to
15, 1018.

While the sum mentioned could, no doubf, be
raised in and around St. Louis, it was the
thought of the committee that the fund should be
national in character and represent every sectian
of the country. The forthcoming show in St,
Louis promises to be as successful as the pre-
vious national flower shows, and It goes without
saying that it will result beneficially to the
trade at large.

Your kind Interest In the project in the way
of a contribution to the guarantee fund is cor-
dially solicited, hence the enclosure herewith of
a contribution blank. The guarantors for tiie
last national flower show not only were roim-
bursed to the extent of their actual contribu-
tions, but also received a substantial sharr- of
the profits, equal to ten per cent of the entire
amoimt subscribed.

The committee also would esteem donationa
of special prizes, the same to be offered under
the names of the donors. If you should feel
disposed to favor us with the offer of a special
prize, kindly, if possible, select the subject for
your award from the preliminary schedule, thua
relieving our obligations to the prize fund to the
extent of the value of your donation. The flrat
preliminary schedule Is now on the press.

It is planned to offer $15,000 in prizes
at St. Louis. A big show is assured and
arrangements have . been made for the
building of a balcony around the Coli-
seum to secure additional space.

RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

EETATL DIBECTOEY OUT,

Albert Pochelon, secretary of the
F. T. D., has just distributed to members
the new Directory of Retail Florists. It
contains the list of members of the
F. T. D. and other retailers, the members'
names being given first in full-face type
under each town. The directory is not
to be sold, but is for the exclusive use
of F. T. D. members. The names are
printed down the center of the page, so
that there is plenty of room for addi-
tions and corrections, which members
are urged to make. The books are to
be returned to Secretary Pochelon in
November, 1917, when the changes will
be checked up and a new edition issued.

The directory was published without
expense to the F. T. D. through the
cooperation of the Leo Niessen Co.,
Philadelphia; E. C. Amling Co., Chicago;
Bassett & Washburn, Chicago; Werthei-
mer Bros., New York; Lion & Co., New
York; J. G. Neidinger Co., Philadelphia;
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, and D. Hill
Nursery Co., Dundee, 111., each being
represented by a page advertisement.

WHEN FLOWEBS DEMORAUZE!

While in Holm & Olson's store in St.
Paul December 11, my attention was at-
tracted by an enthusiastic lady buyer,
who declared: "I am demoralized and
this wonderful store has done it. I can 't
go on believing it is more blessed to
give than to receive when I want to
keep every single gift that I have se-
lected here and covet the things, the

many beautiful things I still would like
to buy."

The artistic arrangement of the va-
rious novelty suggestions in this homo
of flowers was the reason.

FLOWEBS SWEET MEDICINE.

Physicians at the Battle Creek Sani-
tarium prescribe flowers for their
patients just the same as they would
order a massage or an application of
electricity. The influence of flowers in
lightening sorrow and suffering has al-
ways been recognized, but their employ-
ment as an actual remedy is recent.

When a patient is feeling depressed,
the physician orders a vase of flowers
or a blooming plant. The beneficial ef-
fect is pronounced. When a person is
confined to his bed for a long time it
often diverts his mind to have a plant
near the bed which he can watch as the
buds grow into flowers.

A wealthy man who had undergone
an operation at the sanitarium, while
preparing to go home, asked the florist
of the institution if he might take with
him an asparagus that was in his room.
"Of course, you are welcome to it,"
was the answer, "but it will be a
bother to carry it so far. You can buy
one like it at home for a few cents."
"It isn't a question of money," said
the patient. "I want to have it prop-
erly packed and shipped by express. I
have watched that plant for eight long
weeks as I lay in bed and I have be-
come fond of it."

It is doubtful whether any other in-
stitution in the country pursues such a
liberal and intelligent policy in regard
to flowers as does the Battle Creek
Sanitarium, but a similar policy on the
part of hotels and sanitariums generally
not only would be a boom to the florists'
trade but also a boon to humanity.

SIMMONS' STYLISH STOBE.

A few weeks ago it was announced
in The Review that J. S. Simmons, of
Toronto, had occupied his new and up-
to-date retail flower store. It now is
possible to present an illustration show-
ing the general style of arrangement.
This is the newest of the up-to-date
flower stores in Canada and embodies
all the latest ideas. It will be noted
that there are no counters and that
oriental rugs on the floor serve to take
away the "store" appearance and
heighten the effect of a reception parlor,
now sought by high class specialty
shops in all lines of business. Tt i9

showed prompt acceleration folio ^ving

at infrequent periods by most people
and consequently the florist must adopt
some means of advertising his business
between the times of purchase."

The Alpha Floral Co. has used out-
door advertising continuously for over
twelve years, with the exception of one
year. In looking over the books cover-
ing two months of that one year, it was
found the volume of business in one
special department had decreased over
thirty per cent as compared with the
sanio two months for the previous year.
It also was discovered that this par-
ticular department was the department
featured on the bulletin boards.

WOBKING AT WASHINGTON.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn.,
last week sought the aid of members of
Congress and the State Department in
securing from the British government a
permit under which he could bring from
Denmark three large shipments of lily
of the valley pips. While Mr. Pierson
claims that the pips are strictly of Dan-
ish origin, the British government seems
inclined to take the view that they are
of German production, and hence will
not agree to their exportation to the
United States. Mr. Pierson was treated
courteously by the government officials
with whom he came in contact while on
his mission, but it is said that he failed
to obtain much satisfaction, being told
that his claim is but one of a large num-
ber upon which the office of the Foreign

Trade Advisers of the State Department
is now working.

This matter is one that was taken up
some time ago by William F. Gude, as
national representative of the S. A. F.,
with Foreign Trade Adviser Marian
Letcher, also without avail. All vis-
itors, it is said, obtain but the one
answer from the State Department —
that it is using its best offices inform-
ally to secure the release of the various
shipments that are the subject of the
applications. C. L. L.

POT FAMINE IS WORSE

Detroit, Dec. 12, 1916.
We re^et to announce that we have
closed our factory indefinitely. The labor
and fuel conditions, car shortage, em-
bargoes on freight, smoke ordinance and
other matters over which we have no
control, have forced us to do this.

We wish to thank you for past kind-
ness shown and hope that at some future
period we may be able to renew the past
commercial friendship that has hitherto
existed.

Trusting that you may have a pros-
perous new year, we are.

Yours very truly,
DETEOIT FLOWEK POT CO.,
Per Harry Balsley.

There are few more widely known pot

makers than Harry Balsley, and his

pottery has been supplying the trade

since 1853. That present conditions

should close such a source of supply

is of prime importance to the trade.

Pot Makers' Many Troubles.

In this year of unprecedented pros-
perity there are a great many people
who are not making any money. Among
them are -the men to whom this trade
has looked for its supply of flower pots.

Chief of the many troubles the flower
pot manufacturers have encountered
this year has been the shortage of labor.
The making of pots, although largely
a matter of machinery, always has
called for a considerable amount of
labor, less now than in earlier times,
but still enough so that labor is the
most important item of cost. But the
flower pot industry never has been run
on the basis of skilled and efficient
labor; instead, it has been run with
cheap labor. This is a year in which
a cheaper grade of labor has occupied
a unique position. There has been no
pressing extra demand for high class
semi-professional labor, but an insistent
demand for merely moderately com-
petent workmen who could turn their
hands to many tasks. The munition
factories have offered pay that drew
the pot makers away. The result has
been that almost every pottery in the
eastern half of the United States has
been running short-handed and has not
accumulated the stock of pots that usu-
ally are on hand at' this season of the
year.

Car shortage has hindered shipments,
but it has been only a minor factor in
affecting prices. When coal took its
war jump this fall it hit the pot makers
another blow. Fuel is perhaps the
second most important item of manu-
facturing expense where flower pots
are made. The pottery that had not
contracted for coal found its fuel bill
multiplied by two or even by three.
On top of the many other extra expenses
that have been put on the industry
within the last year it presented a diffi-
culty that could only be met by a raise
of prices.

The Outlook.

The outlook for the supply of flower
pots is not reassuring. Potteries now are
operating short-handed; some of them,
by offering wages heretofore unknown
in the industry, have been able to secure
a full crew, but as a whole the flower
pot manufacturers are producing less
than the normal quantity of pots. They
cannot turn them out at the prices at

which the pots formerly were sold;
higher prices than those recently known
in the industry are necessary if the pot
factories are to be operated without
loss. Several have concluded that their
energies may better be directed in some
other field; at least one large producer
in the middle west has sold out his ma-
chinery and closed the department; the
Detroit concern- has suspended oper-
ations indefinitely.

Naturally, prices are higher than nor-
mal, and some of the largest makers
have announced the withdrawal of all
quotations; while operating at the best
price possible, they are unwilling to
commit themselves to prices in pots for
future delivery.

Nearly all the pot makers are behind
with their deliveries; some hope soon
to catch up, but the majority fear they
will not be able to keep pace with the
demand and^ that there will be a pro-
nounced shortage this spring. It there-
fore is to the interest of both the manu-
facturers and the consumers that the
existing supply be conserved as far as
possible. Pots are not now to be treated
as valueless, but they are to be taken
care of, cleaned with thoroughness and
used as long as they are in condition to
produce good stock.

of valley pipsf That they can be gro^m
here of good quality is certain, as it lias
been done, but that they can be grown
at a profit is more open to question.
Yet the culture is simple. In the vie n-
ity of Hamburg, whence have come m. st
of the pips, it is said lily of the valloy
prefe;rs a sandy, moist loam. In natural
conditions when growing wild, it appears
to like a semi-shady position, and tliis
idea seems to be the generally accept .-d
one, yet it has been seen doing tv^II
without any shade whatever. The
method adopted in the large "commercial
nurseries is to allow the beds to remain
for three years, When the roots, or pi;)s,
are lifted and sorted into three siz,^s.
The largest make the best for early
forcing or retarding, whereas the smnll-
est are planted up again in rows into
well dug and manured soil, tlie ro^vs
being placed nine to twelves inclies
apart. All the attention they require
is the hoe, to keep down the weeds, and
in poor soils a light mulch of manure
the second year after planting.

Canariensis; also when to take cuttings
so as to have them in bloom for Easter.

AMERICAN VALLEY?

If the war is to continue can America

The best time to propagate genistas
is from December 1 to February 15,
while there is a nice, steady bottom
heat in the cutting benches. A propa-
gating bench that will root carnationa
or roses will suit genistas admirably.
The cuttings most easily rooted are
those rubbed off with a heel. The cut-
tings put in at this season, if kept
potted along, will make nice plants in
5-inch or 6-inch pots a year hence.

REMITTANCES ARE RISKY.

British Seize Funds.

If you sent your money to a German
specialist and a British warship inter-
cepted it en route, you may as well say
good-bye unless the remittance happened
to be in unnegotiable paper. In the
latter case you probably will be able to
get your money back.

This information grows out of the
cyclamen seed case.

Although practically everyone in the
trade knew of the British blockade, few
were farsighted enough to appreciate
what it meant to the individual member
of the trade in this country. Had the
significance been realized. The Review
would not so long have continued to
publish advertisements ordered before
the blockade shut off free communica-
tion with German customers, nor would
members of the trade in this country
who have looked to German seed spe-
cialists made their customary remit-
tances in accordance with that adver-
tising.

The Cyclamen Money.

It was not until the cyclamen seeds
were due in the late summer that the

real situation became apparent. It was
about August that The Review began to
receive numerous inquiries with regard
to the non-arrival of seed specialties
from Germany, particularly cyclamen
seeds ordered of Ferd Fischer, of Wies-
baden. It then became apparent that a
large number of remittances had been
dispatched to Germany, but never heard
of afterward. The appearances wre
either that the men to whom the remit-
tances had been sent were prevented by
the British blockade from filling ♦he
orders, or that the British censor had
intercepted the orders and the accom-
panying remittances. Conjecture ■^^as
set at rest by the arrival of a poster rd
from Fischer, of Wiesbaden, It read

Please do not publish again my advertlsem ^nt
of cyclamen seeds because orders, checks ni
The Review also do not arrive more since mort.hi
now.

The card was dated at Wiesbaden
June 30 and did not reach Chicago urtil
September 12. The fact that it carried
the O. K. of the British censor shoved
where it had been in the meantime flfi^
where the "orders, checks and The lie'
view" had gone.

tlip sums was large, the remittances
were sufficiently numerous so that the
a^fjiegate loss was important. Conse-
qiiLiitly The Review addressed an in-
'Hiiry to the Department of State at
Washington, requesting information as
to what could be done to recover the
money. In most cases, no doubt, the
remittances are in the form of unne-
gotiable paper, which may be confis-
cated but on which collection of the
funds is impossible, so that in the course
of time the sender should be able to get
his money back.

In a letter to The Review Alvey A.

you consider "must have been confiscated by
the British Government." You ask the De-
partment for an investigation.

In reply you are informed that according to
the Department's information, all remittances
intended for persons residing in the territory of
the Central Powers are treated as contraband
of war by the Entente Governments unless ac-
companied by satisfactory evidence that the
money Is for the relief of the citizens or sub-
jects of neutral tountries.

In view of the foregoing, therefore, the De-

partment would not be disposed to request an
investigation unless furnished with satisfactory
evidence that Mr. Fischer is an American citizen.
It is suggested that you endeavor to trace the
money order through the Post-offlce Department.

While remittances may be contraband,

signature of the payee to become nego-
tiable is otherwise uncollectible and any
reader of The Review who has failed to
hear from remittances sent to Germany
is advised to seek a refund from the
■source of which the remittance paper
was purchased. If a post-office money
order was sent, ask the postmaster for
a refund. If bank paper was bought,
ask the bank for a refund.

THE GLASS SITUATION

TODAY AND EN" THE FUTUBE.

All Markets High.

The grower who is postponing his
1917 building program with the expec-
tation that he can buy cheaper later in
the season might as well make up his
mind that nothing of the kind can occur.

The prices of most of the things that
go into the building of a greenhouse
have advanced, but the market for the
tank grade of cypress is only slightly
higher than it was a year ago. Any
change in the cypress market is sure to
be an advance; there is no chance that
the market will fall. Steel, pipe, paint,
■p^Sty and other items are materially
higher than they were a year ago,
but manufacturers are far behind their
orders and, even if no more business
should be offered, it will be well-
towards spring before any of them wiU
have filled all the orders now on hand;
indeed, steel mills are said to have
booked orders that will keep them busy
practically all of 1917 and at prices
that make it absolutely impossible that
the output be resold at anything less
than prevailing rates.

Window glass, which constitutes one
of the principal items of expense in
building a greenhouse, is higher today
than it has been in many years. There
is difference of opinion as to whether
or not the market will advance between
now and spring. Some persons well
informed in the glass trade say that
the tendency will be continuously up-
ward, while others believe prices will
remain stationary until some new de-
velopments occur. But everyone in-
formed on the situation agrees that it
will be many months and probably more
than a year before there is a decline in
prices.

Fuel Supply Closes Factories.

One of the principal troubles the glass
manufacturers are encountering this
season is with the supply of natural gas,
which is an important item in the glass
trade. It takes about 2,000 cubic feet
of natural gas for each box of fifty
square feet of glass manufactured. "Win-
dow glass factories close down in the
summer, but their demands for gas are
so enormous that it is customary to store
gas during the inactive months to ac-
cumlate the requirements of the winter
season. This has been more than ever
necessary during the recent years of
declining gas supplies. But during the
summer of 1916 the steel mills and muni-
tions factories in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia have been working
night and day and have been consuming
go much gas that there were no oppor-
tunities for the glass factories to ac-
cumlate their usual quantities. As a
result, the glass factories in Ohio, Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia this winter
find themselves short of fuel. It is re-
ported that December 14 twelve window
glass factories in those three states
closed indefinitely. Some of them may
start up soon, but others are likely to
remain closed at least until next sea-

son. All these factories cut more or less
glass of greenhouse size.

Persons well informed in the glass
trade say that the factories in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia that
are having trouble over the fuel supply
represent seventy per cent of the entire
output of the window glass in the
United States.

Labor and Stock on Hand.

Another trouble that the glass manu-
facturers have is with the demands of
labor. In the glass trade the cutters
are paid more money for cutting large
sizes than for cutting small sizes. Con-
sequently, with labor in an independent
attitude the demand is for specifications
calling for the cutting of large sizes; to
get the greenhouse sizes cut a premium
is demanded.

Within quite recent times a new de-
mand has sprung up to compete with
the greenhouse trade for small sizes.
Modern factory buildings are being
erected with steel window frames glazed
with glass that falls within the same
bracket as the greenhouse sizes. So
large has this demand become that it
consumes an important percentage of
the output of small size glass.

Neither factories nor jobbers have
their customary stocks on hand at this
time of year. As an instance, one large
jobber opened his mail one day last week
and found in it orders for more than
700 boxes of greenhouse glass. In his
warehouse there were not twenty-five

boxes that could be us^d to fill these
orders. The filling of oi'ders, therefore,
is a matter of getting shipments from
factories and delays are interminable.

The Present Prices.

A large number of growers look back
to the time when the price of 16x13
double' strength A glass at Chicago
was about $3.05. Eightly or wrongly,
a habit has grown up of considering this
a normal price. Today the prices iu
carload lots at Chicago, delivery at
some indefinite date in the future^ are
about as follows:

size Grade Per 50 ft.

16x18 A $4.64

16x18 B 3.88

16x24 A 6.06

16x24 B 4.13

This is an advance of about fifty per
cent. It is not so great an advance as
the advance in steel, nor is it so great
an advance as that in the white paper
used for printing The Eeview, wnich
has practically doubled in price within
the year.

If the War Ends.

Of course the war in Europe is blamed
for the glass situation. But if the war
should end this week it will be many-
months before conditions in the glass
trade are affected. It will take months
to fill the orders now on file. Many
months will be required to accumulate
normal stocks, and Belgium will not
again be maniif acturing glass to supply
her own needs and the needs of a large
part of the rest of the world for many,
many months after peace is declared.

Jobbers in window glass do not like
high prices any more than their cus-
tomers do; they prefer moderate prices,
as tending toward a large volume of
sales. But in the jobbing trade hope of
lower prices has been abandoned for all
of 1917.

TUB Was No Joke.

A Chicago Sunday paper runs a
column headed "My Most Embarrass-
ing Moment,'-' in which the following
recently appeared:

<<When the manager of the concern
for which I was stenographer died, the
eiiiployees decided to purchase a beauti-
fr.i floral piece. The money was handed
to a friend of the bookkeeper's, to-
gether with a slip which I typed as a
gi.idanee for the florist. It contained
the word 'Best,' which was to be
worked out in flowers on a pillow, and
then a little farther on I had typed the
words, 'From his faithful employees,'
wliich was to be in gold letters on a
purple ribbon.

"At the funeral I was naturally
anxious to see how well the florist had
filled the order, but could not find our
offering among the many flowers.
Fiaally, as I stood at the cofiin with the
widow (I was well acquainted with the
family), I inquired of her, fearing the
florist had not sent it in time. I
thought she acted rather queerly as she
pointed to the pillow almost hidden
under the other flowers.

"I bent over, and you may imagine
my embarrassment when I noticed that
while the florist had placed the word
'East' on the pillow, he had also placed
it on the purple ribbon with the rest of
the sentence, and, what was the worst
of all, had changed the word 'from' to
'for,' so that the sentence read: 'Rest
for his faithful employees.'

"I never felt so embarrassed in my
life, especially in view of the fact that
the year before this gentleman died he
had had a stroke of apoplexy, which
had left him a nervous wreck, absent-
minded, forgetful, and a regular
'crank,' who had made it extremely dif-
ficult for us to get along with him in
the office."

A FLORIST'S HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

Not every florist, of course, can
afford to own so handsome a residence
as the one shown in the illustration.
That statement is sadly and self-evi-
dontly true. But it is just as certain
that almost every home, of whatever
shape or size or substance, is capable
of outside embellishment by the use
of plants, shrubs and trees, if there is
room for these to take root and grow.
No edifice is so unattractive, or even
hideous, that its deformity cannot be
partly veiled and disguised by the right
sort of surroundings. No structure is
80 graceful that its beauty cannot be
enhanced by the same means. No
(l\^elling is so rough and rustic, or so
snioothly classic and elegant, that such
decorations will not blend harmoniously
^ith its outlines. Moreover — and here
IS the point that is pointed straight at
the reader — few other people have so
g"'at ability and opportunity for such
iii'ine beautification as have the florists,
ai'd few others can derive such a com-
bination of profit and pleasure from the
opf^ration.

After viewing the home of John F.
f^-'PP, of Shiremanstown, Pa., as seen
J" the picture, does anyone dare to say
t'lat such a home does not benefit the
^! mmunity in general, the florists'
t:arle in particular and Mr. Rupp's own
1''ade most particularly of all? Mr.
'"pp's home says persuasively to each

Moonvines on the Residence of John F. Rupp, Seedsman, Shiremanstown, Pa.

passer-by: "You see how my owner
has bedecked me; go and do likewise
with your place of abode. You see, too,
that my owner is consistent; he prac-
tices what he preaches. He does not
neglect his own dooryard while trying
to get the job of planting yours."

Among the most striking of the
adornments of Mr. Rupp's residence are
the ipomoea vines that have curtained
the porch and the windows, climbed to
the eaves and even festooned them-
selves on the dormer window. "These
moonvines," says Mr. Rupp, "are of
the giant white variety, Ipomcea grandi-
flora. They were planted June 1 and
are now thirty-four feet high. ' ' Proba-
bly such a height as that has seldom

been exceeded in the short summer sea-
sons of the north, even by so lively a
twiner as the ipomoea.

In order to attain a good growth in
northern latitudes, moonflowers should
be started early by sowing the seeds in
small pots in the greenhouse, say in
March, and moving the seedlings to
their places outdoors when danger of
frost is past. It is well to prepare the
seeds by soaking them about two hours
in warm water. The moonflower may
also be propagated by cuttings, which
may be taken from the small side
shoots in September. It is easy of cul-
ture, but thrives best in good, rich soil
and bright sunshine, with plenty of
water.

NOTES FROM FOREIGN I^NDS

v:\j.)

London, England. — ^The trade is pro-
testing vigorously at the attitude of the
authorities. Here is the way one spokes-
man sums it up: "It is admitted busi-
ness is to be had for the seeking, be-
cause in manufacturing and mining
centers money is plentiful and enthu-
siasm for gardening is keen, but the
unfortunate thing is, the idea appears
to be prevalent that horticulture is so
unnecessary from a national point of
view that it doesn 't matter seriously if
the whole industry is crippled or
crushed."

Hillcgom, Holland. — M. van Waveren
& Sons, Ltd., has appointed as manag-
ing directors W. A. Philippe and C. do
Wreede, who have both held leading
positions in the concern for many years.
Mr. Philippe has made frequent visits
to the United States until three years
ago, and is well known to the seed houses
in the east. T. van Waveren, under
whose leadership the business has flour-
ished and attained its present position

in the horticultural trade, will devote
his energies toward its further develop-
ment as president of the company. A
branch oflSce was established in New
York many years ago and incorporated
in 1916 with H. Langeler as managing
director.

London, England. — A member of the
trade who visited Germany just before
the war, says, "The various nurseries I
visited were practically all devoted to
the production of stock for foreign
trade." These nurseries have done no
export trade worth mentioning for two
years, and will do none this season.
Much stuff is, no doubt, spoiled, and is,
or will be, burned, but what of the ac-
cumulation that is still fit for sale! The
seed business will also be affected, as
though there has been a leakage of light
seeds through the parcel post and other
ways to America, there must be big
lots of the more bulky and heavy seeds
in store, for which openings will be
sought.

TUE GLASS SITUATION

TODAY AND IN THE FUTUEE.

All Markets High.

Tlio {grower \vh() is jntstpouing liis
1917 l)uiklin<; program -with tlio expec-
tation that lie can buy elieaper later in
the season might as well make up his
mind that nothing of the kind can occur.

The i)rices of most of the things that
go into the building of a greenhouse
have advanced, but the market for the
tank grade of ( yi)ress is only slightly
higher than it was a year ago. Any
change in the cy])ress market is sure to
be an advance; there is no (diance that
the market will fall. «teel, pipe, paint,
putty and other items are materially
higher tlian they were a year ago,
but manufacturers are far behind their
orders and, even if no more business
should be offered, it will be well
towards sjiriiig before any of them will
have filled all the orders now on hand;
indeed, steel mills are said to have
booked orders that will keep them busy
practically all of 1917 and at prices
that make it absolutely impossible that
the output be resold at anything less
than prevailing rates.

Window glass, which constitutes one
of the principal items of expense in
building a greenhouse, is higher today
than it has been in many years. There
is difference of opinion as to whether
or not the market will advance between
now and spring. Some persons well
informed in the glass trade say that
the tendency will be continuously up-
ward, while" others believe prices will
remain stationary until some new de-
velopments occur. But everyone in-
formed on the situation agrees that it
will be many months and probably more
than a year' l)ef ore there is a decline in
prices.

Fuel Supply Closes Factories.

One of the principal troubles the glass
manufacturers are encountering this
season is with the supply of natural gas,
which is an important item in the glass
trade. It takes about 2,000 cubic feet
of natural gas for each box of fifty
square feet of glass manufactured. "Win-
dow glass factories close down in the
summer, but their demands for gas are
so enormous that it is customary to store
gas during the inactive months to ac-
cumlate the requirements of the winter
season. This has been more than ever
necessary during the recent years of
declining gas supplies. But during the
summer of 191G the steel mills and muni-
tions factories in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia have been working
night and day and have been consuming
so much gas" that there were no oppor-
tunities for the glass factories to ac-
cumlate their usual quantities. As a
result, the glass factories in Ohio, Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia this winter
find themselves short of fuel. It is re-
ported that December 14 twelve window
glass factories in those three states
closed indefinitely. Some of them may
start up soon, but others are likely to
remain closed at least until next sea-

son. All these factories cut more or less
glass of greenhouse size.

Persons well informed in the glass
trade say that the factories in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and AVest Virginia that
arc having trouble over the fuel supply
represent seventy per cent of the entire
output of the window glass in the
United States.

Labor and Stock on Hand.

Another trouble tliat the glass manu-
facturers have is with the demands of
labor. In the glass trade the cutters
are paid more money for cutting large
sizes than for cutting small sizes. Con-
sequently, with labor in an independent
attitude the demand is for specifications
calling for the cutting of large sizes; to
get tlie greenhouse sizes cut a premium
is demanded.

W^itliin quite recent times a new de-
mand has sprung up to compete with
the greenhouse trade for small sizes.
Modern factory buildings are being
erected with steel window frames glazed
with glass that falls within the same
bracket as the greenhouse sizes. So
large has this demand become that it
consumes an imjiortant percentage of
the output of small size glass.

Neither factories nor jobbers have
their customary stocks on hand at this
time of 3-ear. As an instance, one large
jobber opened his mail one day last week
and found in it orders for more than
700 boxes of greenliouse glass. In his
warehouse there were not twenty-five

boxes that could be used to fill the
orders. The filling of orders, therefor ,
is a matter of getting shipments fro
factories and delays are interminable.

The Present Prices.

A large number of growers look ba^
to the time when the jjrice of 16x ■
double strength A glass at Chica;-
was about $3.05. Rightly or wrong] ,
a habit has grown up of considering tb ;
a normal price. Today the ])rices
carload lots at Chicago, delivery :
some indefinite date in the future, a
about as follows:

Size Grade TerCOfi

KlxlH A ?4.()4

l(!xl8 B .•{.SK

lGx24 A 5.0C

lGx24 15 4.1:J

This is an advance of about fifty ]■
cent. It is not so great an advance
the advance in steel, nor is it so gr>
an advance as that in the white ])aj'
used for printing The Review, whi
has practically doubled in price witlr .
the year.

If the War Ends.

Of course the war in Europe is blann i
for the glass situation. But if the w: -
should end this week it will be mai
months before conditions in the gl.i
trade are alfected. It will take monti
to fill the orders now on file. Mai
months will be required to accumula'
normal stocks, and Belgium will n
again be manufacturing glass to supp
her own needs and the needs of a lar,
part of the rest of the world for mat
many months after peace is declared.

Jobbers in window glass do not Hk
liigh prices any more than their cu-
tomers do; they prefer moderate prio ~,
as tending toward a large volume '■'.
sales. But in the jobbing trade hope ■•;
lower prices has been abandoned for :i 1
of 1917.

' When the manager of the concern

which I was stenographer died, the

Joyees decided to purchase a beauti-

floral piece. The money was handed

a friend of the bookkeeper's, to-

her with a slip which I typed as a

word 'Rest,' which was to be

AONIMUM HEAT FOB EUSSELK

What is the lowest temperature in

The lowest temperature in which
Bussell will do well is 50 degrees, but
68 to 60 degrees suits it better.

ROSES FOR EASTEB.

Please give us your expert opinion
on the following: "We have a bed of
Paper White narcissi that will be off
about January 1. Could we use field-
grown, dormant Cecile Brunner roses
in the bench afterward and get a crop
in for Easter? The temperature of the
house is 60 to 65 degrees. How about
Brunner or Fireflame for potted plants?

T. N.— S. D.

Such polyantha roses as Cecile Brun-
ner can be had in bloom for Easter
without much trouble. They should be
dug up and potted at once. This will
allow the plants to make some fresh
roots before they are started. Store
them in a coldframe or cold pit until
time for starting arrives. Pack leaves
or straw among the pots to prevent
hard freezing if the storage place is a
cold one. House the plants when your
stock of Paper Whites has passed, but
do not give them a temperature of 60
to 65 degrees for a start; let it be 45
to 50 degrees at first; then, as growth
advances, raise it gradually until 60
degrees at night can be given. Run
them a little cooler as the flowers open.
Dormant plants set in benches need
similar treatment. It would not do at
all to start them in a strong heat. You
would get better results from plants in
pots than from dormant field stock
benched in January. C. W.

AMERICAN EOSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee of the
American Rose Society at its meeting
December 11 in New York registered
the new rose, Mrs. Charles Gersdorff, a
climbing hybrid tea, offered bv Charles
E. F. Gersdorff, of Washington, D. C,
described as follows:

The plant is of stronp clinitiinc habit, sonding
strong canes yearly from the root, both in spring
and fall. The thorns are stronR, not too thickly
set. It has a profuse and almost constant flow-
ering habit. Flowers" generally borne singly,
though always in clusters of two to four; foliage
durable, remaining in good condition in hot sun-
shine for five days, by actual test: buds large,
like tulips in shape; color n beautiful Killamey
pink, shading to blush shell pink. The flowers
possess a strong hybrid tea fragrance. This rose

has been outdoors for the last seven years, with-
out protection, in both northern and southern ex-
posures, without winter-killing.

A communication was received from
Cleveland, O., inviting the cooperation
of the American Rose Society in the
Cleveland flower show, which is to be
held in November, 1917. November 7
will be designated as special rose day.
This invitation was accepted.

A contract was ordered signed for the
lease of the First Regiment Armory for
the spring show to be held in Phila-
delphia March 20 to 23, inclusive.

Arrangements are being made for a
center attraction on the floor of rose
gardens. The committee on plant sched-
ule and prizes reported, and the sup-
port received so far has caused an in-
crease in the premiums to be awarded
for cut roses. There will be a special
gold medal valued at $50 offered by
Kroeschell Bros., of Chicago. The To-
ronto Horticultural Society also has
sent medals.

WHO SETS THE PBICE?

I see it stated in today's newspaper
that the purchasing power of a dollar
is only about fifty-three per cent of what
it was two years ago. And still flowers
are selling at the same old price, are
they not? Or practically so. Where is
the wisdom of this?

Was there a general complaint that
the growers were getting wealthy too
fast two years ago? If not, it looks
like it is up to us now to sit up nights
to eke out an existence.

In recent articles in The Review it
has been said that the retailer ought to
charge more. Supposing he did, would
it do anyone any good but himself?
The retailer goes to the wholesaler for
his goods and pays the wholesaler's
price and sells so as to make something
like a certain percentage of profit. I
suppose the growers as a class can not

set prices, and of course the retailer is
not going to pay more than he is asked
to pay. Is it not a fact that the whole-
saler sets the prices and rules the flower
market? Carleton Gould.

WHITE FLY EXTEBMINATOR.

I have found a sure remedy for tae
white fly. It is not poisonous and I
give it here for the benefit of those w'lo
do not like to use cyanide. Paint a
line of pipe with a mixture of sulph ir
and air-slaked lime in equal parfs.
Spray the house thoroughly, run tiie
temperature up to 90 degrees and hi'M
it there for two hours. Do this eve y
five days until the eggs on the plants
are hatched.

This remedy will be found in L. i^-
Taft's book, "Greenhouse Maaaf;i3-
ment," in which it is given as a remetiy
for red spider. It was while trying it

for red spider that I found it would
destroy the white fly. I had a chance
to test this remedy thoroughly this
\ear. When I took charge here last
June there were some flies in the house,
, iore on the flowers outdoors, and when

THE SITUATION OF SPHAGNUM.

In regard to the moss question, will
you permit me to state that this is a
matter that could be taken up with
some of the large jobbers? They are
tbe ones who put things in that line
where they are.

In the first place, pulling sphagnum
nu)ss is by no means an easy or pleasant
job. Then, after it is pulled in small
piles, it has to be carted on small push
cars, for few can afford to lay tracks
aud have motor cars to put it on high
land for drying beds. Then, after
spreading and turning it until it is
fit to be put in the press and baled up,
it has to be hauled to the station and
shipped to its destination.

Now, this takes time and labor, and
then some fine looking gentlemaii cornea
along who tells you that moss is com-
ing down and tries to get a contract for
all you have. Then the moss man gets
busy and writes to some of the firms,
but cannot get rid of his moss, so he ad-
vertises. He gets some orders, but not
enough to get rid of his holdings and
finally he lets go of his moss on a con-
tract with some commission firm until
they get about all the available moss
that is to be had. Then the prices go
up. But, on the other hand, if we hold
the moss, people get disgusted and will
not pull any more than what they get
orders for. Unless this thing of the
middleman holding down the producer
and holding up the consumer is put on
a better footing, the supply of moss
will be decidedly less within a few years.

There is not much moss in this terri-
tory this season; not over 5,000 bales,
and prices will run high next spring.
I expect to see sphagnum reach the $1
niark at the baling station by April and
then everybody will start pulling full
blast and just about when the new crop
is ready to come in, down comes the
price far below what it will cost to pull
it, not taking into consideration the
baling and the material used in baling.
^'•iis is the way the moss business stands
i'l 'his section.

'list as soon as the people who are
pulling moss can get a fair price for
til' ir crop the public can have all the
"ii'^s that can be gathered in this sec-
tiin. A fair price at the shipping point
"1 Wisconsin would be about 50 cents
^■''hout burlap or wire. That would
b'^'g the bales to about 70 cents with
b" lap and 55 cents wired.

E. B. WASHBUEN.

WHEN "Ned" Washburn had absorbed the soil chemistry and other fancy
farming notions that go with learning the variations of "On Wisconsin" he
stepped into a partnership in Bassett & Washburn and settled down to the
pleasant life of a cut flower grower at Chicago. A beautiful wife soon came
to make his lot a happy one. But the rigors ot the winters hei-ide Lake Mniii'ian
proved too rough for him; the mellow climate at Pasadena was what he needed
to maintain robust health. So ho settled there. Then time hung heavy. The
result is the Pacific coast branch of Bassett & Washhuiii, at Sierra Madie. There
palms will be the specialty, grown under glass and under lath. The nucleus of
the establishment is just approaching completion; its development will be car-
ried on conteinporaneously with the education of tiiree line hoys as the fourth
generation of florists in this family.

that are affected and I am afraid the
disease will spread and prevent me
from marketing the cuttings or pot
plants. I have been using liquid cow
manure quite freely, and the plants are
growing well. T. II. G. — N. Y.

You arc not treating your geraniums
properly. Discontinue the use of cow
manure water at once. This makes the
plants produce a rank but flabby
growth, which makes them fall an easy
prey to bacterial diseases. A little
liquid manure occasionally is all right
in the spring, but it is not needed now,
and it is easily overdone even in the
spring. If your plants need stimulation
a light sprinkle of fine bone is the best
food. Seratch the surface after apply-
ing the bone. Bone also should be used
in the soil for all geraniums, at the rate
of a 4-inch potfnl to a bushel of loam.
The bone promotes a sturdy growth and

makes plants more floriferous. (,'onstant
feeding with liquid manure produces
rank, soft wood, which will flower but
sparsely.

Pick off all affected leaves, and if only
one or two plants are affected throw
them away. Keep the house well ven-
tilated. Do not spray the plants; they
like a dry, buoyant atmosphere. Plenty
of sun and cleanliness below and above
the benches will help to keep your plants
clean. C. W.

Honeoye Falls, N. Y. — Charles Fowler
has erected an addition to his range,
which will be devoted to vegetable and
bedding plants.

Decatur, 111. — Henry Gerstenkorn has
bought out the interest of his partner in
the firm of Gerstenkorn & Klumpp, and
will conduct the business under his own
name in the future. The firm formerly
was Charonne & Klumpp.

ROSES FOR EASTER.

Please f^ive us your expert opinion
on the following; ^Ve have a bed ot'

T. .\. -.^. D.

Such polyantlia ros(^s as C'ecile Brun-
ner can be liad in bloom for Easter
without much trouido. They should be
dug up and i)otted at once. This will
allow the jilants to make some fresh
roots bet'ore they ai'e started. Store
them in a coldfraine oi- cold jdt until
time for starting arri\es. I'ack leaves
or straw among the jkpIs to prevent
hard freezing if the stoiage jdace is a
cold one. House the ]dants when your
stock of Paper ^\'llitl•s has passed, but
do not give them a t(Miiperature of G'l

OBITUARY

Washington, D. C, enjoyed to the
full the displays made by the trades-
men during the chrysanthemum season,
all of them exhibiting according to
their various possibilities. The Qude
Bros. Co. extended its show into a sec-
ond week — "By request," observed
W. F. Gude, "as many of our best peo-
ple had not yet returned home. Yes,
we keep a register of our distinguished
visitors and regard it with pride — ^please
sign here. We have tried to surpass
ourselves in the decoration of our
store." The latest thing is varicolored
electric fountains. Cages containing
song birds were all about and, to my
surprise, from a group of palms came
the sweet notes of the nightingale.
"You are not the only one who has
been charmed by its singing," said Mr.
Gude. "A day or so ago a woman cus-
tomer was speaking with me over the
telephone, when, on hearing the nightin-
gale's song, she requested as a favor
that the line be kept open for a while,
as she had not heard the bird's song
since she was in Switzerland, twenty
years ago. 'But how is it,' said she,
'that this bird is singing in the after-
noon, when it usually sings in the eve-
ning, at twilight!' 'That's because of
the electric light,' was my answer.
Although terribly busy, we must ob-

serve the principle of courtesy to our
patrons." Noting a handsome aqua-
rium filled with rare fish, my attention
was called to a "tumbler." "It is
sometimes on its stomach looking down,
then on its back looking up, illustrating
the condition of business," observed
Mr. Gude.

F. Fallon, of Roanoke, Va., is a firm
believer in advertising, as is seen by
the artistic signboards when approach-
ing, his town. The store, recently re-
modeled, shows the stock up well. Busi-
ness is only limited by the supply.

Norfolk, Va., needed a sharp frost to
cut down the outdoor chrysanthemums,
was the opinion of L. A. Blick, who
said that several amateurs have caught
on to the method of disbudding and
that their flowers rival the greenhouse-
grown stock.

J. W. Grandy, of Norfolk, commented
on the rapid strides made in the busi-
ness. He introduced the "Saturday
Box Special," one of the best cards
played. He is not in sympathy with
those who sell carnations at 60 cents per
dozen.

A. B. Garden, of Anacostia, reports
an excellent market business, especially
since stock has been cut down in the
gardens. Bulbs are selling well, with
good orders for planting. W. M.

Appletown, Md. — After a little book-
keeping to check up costs, production
and sales, D. H. Green says he is well
satisfied with his mum season. More
than 600 dozen of his best mums were
shipped to eager Washington buyers
at Thanksgiving.

Aberdeen, Miss. — The Aberdeen Flo-
ral Co. and .J. W. Moore will open a
flower store at 113 Capital avenue, Jack-
son, Miss., .January 1. The fixtures will
be furnished by A. L. Randall Co., of
Chicago. The Aberdeen Floral Co.
houses will be managed by J. M. Moore,
of Bristol, Tenn., formerly with Hugh
Seals, Birmingham. It is the intention
of this company to make numerous im-
provements the coming season.

Bnmswlck, Ga. — C. S. Tait, bulb
grower, is specializing on the amaryllis
and this season is marketing some 3,000
bulbs of his seedlings. In establishing
his stock he bought all over Europe and
also secured 500 unbloomed American
seedlings, from which he selected the
best. He believes he has a stock that
is fairly representative of the beat the
genus affords. The blooming season
here is the last part of March and first
part of April and 15,000 bulbs will make
a grand show at that time in 1917.

Springdale, Ark. — S. L. Johnson re-
cently has completed a greenhouse, 54x
100, of Moninger material.

New Orleans, La. — The work of mov-
ing the large greenhouse on the old
Howard property next to the ,City hall
to Audubon park, for the propagation
of ladybugs to fight the cushiony scale
l)est, has been completed.

College Station, Tex.— The first an-
nual exhibition of the Department of
Horticulture of the Texas A. & M. Col-
lege was held December 8 and 9. The
show was a decided success. Perhaps
the most prominent exhibit was the dis-
play of Texas-grown Satsuma oranges
and grapefruits, along with the citrus
fruits of California and Florida; but
the most striking feature of the show
was the showing of chrysanthemums,
roses, ferns, azaleas, begonias, primulas
and cyclamens. The exhibit of named
varieties of pecans was, perhaps, as
great as any collection ever exhibited in
America. The Landscape Art division
of the department had a collection of
eighteen designs from the Department
of Landscape Architecture of Harvard
University, as well as many designs
made by the students of the department.

William Crawford Barry.

In the death of William Crawfod
Barry, president of EUwanger & Barry,
Inc., of Eochester, N. Y., than whom
there were few more able nurserymc >,
American horticulture has lost a leadii.g
exponent. Ten days prior to his deceaso,
Mr. Barry contracted a severe col i,
which, abetted by acute kidney disea?!',
developed into pneumonia. Although
the patient rallied and hope for his re-
covery was entertained during the last
days of his life, a sudden relapse was
followed by death on the morning of
December 12, at the family residencs',
706 Mount Hope avenue.

As an expert technical and practical
horticulturist Mr. Barry occupied a
position at the head of the profession;
but his energies also found play in
numerous enterprises outside the nursery
business. He was a many-sided man,
one to whom the city of Rochester owos
a great debt of .gratitude, for Mr, Barry
assumed a leader's part in the birth
and growth of Rochester's park system.
He was closely, although not ostenta-
tiously, identified with the great com-
mercial development of Rochester, and
he and his colleagues frequently were
deservedly lauded in the public press
for their civic generosity. Mr. Barry
was an ex-president of the American
Rose Society, ex-president of the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen, ex-
president of the Eastern Nurserymen's
Association, and for twenty-seven years
president of the Western New York
Horticultural Society. He also was a
member of many other bodies, as
enumerated later on.

The decedent first saw the light of
day at Rochester, September 17, 1847,
so that at the time of his death he was
one year short of the allotted three-
score and ten. He was the son uf
Patrick Barry, a pioneer nurseryman of
the eastern country and a pomological
author of note, who, in 1840, in partner-
ship with the late George EUwanger,
formed the firm of EUwanger & Barry.
The nursery business, therefore, en-
gaged the attention of Mr. Barry when
a lad.

Young Barry was tutored at home f-r
a number of years and subsequently b'-
came a student at Seton Hall College,
(if New Jersey. After completing liis
college course he was sent to Euroie,
where he studied at Heidelberg and
Louvain. Among other things, he ac-
quired a comprehensive knowledge f
French and German and was able o
converse in these languages almost .iS
fluently as a native. Returning hor e
in 1873, at the age of 26, Mr. Barry tock
up the details of the nursery busini 9
established by his father and Mr. E 1-
wanger. He started at the bottom ai '1
mastered each department, one by oi ',
and when the firm was made a corpoi i-
tion in 1890 he was elected treasurt i'.
Later he became president of the cd-
cern, which operates the Mount Hoi e
Nurseries.

Although few men have succeeded !i
mastering so thoroughly the mai .\'
branches of the profession, Mr. Bar v
gave the study of rose culture his esp '-
cial attention. He was the prime mov r
in the reorganization of the Americ; n
Rose Society at New York, in 1899, 1 "

,oming its first president. He was the
author of several pamphlets on rose
iiropagation.

No sketch of Mr. Barry 's career would
be adequate without a description of
liis work as president of the EUwanger &
Jiarry Realty Co., a subsidiary concern
,:1 the nursery, which was such an im-
uM-t&nt factor in. the beautification of
t'O residence section, or the city bor-
(uiing on Highland park. Indeed, it
w.'S largely through the taste and ex-
jr,ii)le of Mr. Barry that the homes in
tint and other sections of the city be-
c;;ine so attractive as to win for Roches-
t( the cognomen of "City of Homes."
y. . Barry was a member of the Eoches-
ti park commission from its inception
111 lil it disbanded in 1915. He was par-
ticularly interested in the formation of
I{i.jhland park and took much pride
iu its popularity. Nearly twenty acres
of land were presented to the city by
E iwanger & Barry as the first step in
it: creation. In this way and that, Mr.
P,nrry added to the park, got appropria-
tions for it and, through the assistance
oi" Prof. C. S. Sargent, of the Arnold
Arboretum, of Boston, increased its
ctlucational value and beauty. In 1890,
in celebration of EUwanger & Barry's
soniicentennial anniversary, the com-
pany erected an elaborate 2-story
pavilion at Highland park and dedicated
it to the children of Rochester,

Mr. Barry lived to see his Lilac day,
wliich now is an annual feature in
Knchester's parks. In 1909 Mr. Barry
introduced the variety of lilacs known
as Syringea cserulea superba, which is
considered one of the best of its color,
a rich blue. Mr. Barry at this time
printed several treatises on lilacs.

A splendid presiding officer, Mr.
Barry became president of the Western
Now York Horticultural Society and
served in that office for twenty-seven
years; in fact, the members of that
most utilitarian body would not permit
him to retire and he died the incumbent
of the office of president. During his
administration the membership grew
from 300 to 1,500. As previously stated,
Mr. Barry served as president of the
American Rose Society, of the American
Association of Nurserymen and of the
Eastern Nurserymen's Association. He
also was deeply interested in the State
College of Agriculture at Cornell Uni-
versity and in the establishment of ex-
perimental stations. He was president
of the board of control of the New York
State Experimental Station and was a
member of the American Pomological
Society. He was a member of the Cham-
ber of Commerce and the Business Men's
A sociation and at one time was con-
1' 'ted with the various electrical rail-
ways and railroad enterprises of Roches-
ter. Mr. Barry was president of several
0* the leading banking institutions of
th city at the time of his death. His
^' ne frequently had been mentioned
f^' the position of mayor.

'uneral services were held Thursday,
D ember 14, at St. Patrick 's Cathedral.
T' ^i services were largely attended, in-
^- ding Hiram H. Edgerton, mayor of
^ 'hester, city officials, county officials,
S' eral court judges, members of the
P k board, a large representation of
^ horticultural society, officers of the
^' amber of Commerce, members of the

Chester Florists ' A.ssociation, officers
''I directors of the city banks and the
e iployees of EUwanger & Barry, Inc.

Mr. Barry is survived by three sons,

Villiam C Barry.

William C, Jr., Frederick G. and
Arthur A. Barry; a daughter, Mrs.
Charles H. Stearns, and a sister, Mrs.
B. Leisching. Mrs. W. C. Barry, nee
Miss Louise Gaffney, whom the decedent
married in 1874, died five years ago.

Charles A. Hanley.

Charles A. Hanley, of Orange, N. J.,
was stricken with paralysis December
11 while at the station of the Lacka-
wanna railroad at Orange, and died be-
fore midnight. He was to take
charge of laying out the flower beds and
shrubbery around the new station. Mr.
Hanley was 49 years old. He was a
native of West Orange and had been a
florist all his life. Besides his wife, he
leaves two daughters and three sons.
Interment was at St. John 's cemetery,
Orange. R. B. M.

Qeoige Hunter.

George Hunter, senior member of the
Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., of Grand
Rapids, Mich., died December 14 at the
home of his son-in-law, George F.
Crabb. He would have reached the age
of 90 had he lived until spring.

Although Mr. Hunter was in the flo-
rists' business for thirty years, he was
not well known commercially, as his in-
terests were mostly with the mechanical
ends of the business. Born at Leith,
Scotland, May 31, 1827, he came to this
country at the age of 20 and began his
career hauling logs on the site of what
now is Cleveland. Later he became in-
terested in the chain-making business at
Detroit. Thirty years ago he moved to
Grand Rapids with George F. Crabb and
established the florists' business of
Crabb & Hunter Floral Co.

Mr. Hunter was a studious man and
gleaned a fine education from books
after reaching this country. Many flo-
ral tributes from the trade were in evi-
dence at the funeral services, which
were held December 16. He is survived
by three sisters and nine grandchildren.

A. F. C.

George Sawyer.

George Sawyer, of Murray Hill, N. J.,
died December 7 at the Overlook hos-
pital, at Summit, N. J. The deceased
entered the hospital for an operation
for cancer, and, while the operation it-
self was successful, he did not rally
from the effects of the cancer.

The decedent was one of the fore-
men at the L. B. Coddington rose grow-
ing establishment, at Murray Hill. He
was well liked by all who knew him
and a most valued friend. He is sur-
vived by his wife, three children, two
sisters and his father and mother.

Decatur, IU.— This town recently has
had an exhibition of the folly of price
cutting, for as late as December 15 two
of the local florists were trying to see
which one could lose the most money
selling carnations at 15 cents per dozen
and paying the advertising bill.

Huntingburg, Ind.— Peter Morgen in
increasing his facilities with much regu-
larity. A potting shed 63x75 feet haa
just been added, a greenhouse 15x150
and a plant house 33x60. Beauties con-
tinue to be his leading specialty, bat
he also finds a profit in roses, carnations,
lilies and other bulbous stock and is
trying the forcing of imported pot
plants. *^

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Anonymous inquiries always go into
the waste basket. To receive attention,
full name and address are required.

Tomorrow, December 22, will be the
shortest day of the year, not only by the
almanac but by comparison with what
the average florist must encompass in the
way of work.

The great conflict will leave an im-
press on the trade, more or less perma-
nent as the longevity of the varieties
develops, through the strong tendency to
apply to novelties names brought to no-
tice by the war happenings.

Now come reports that orders for both
English and French Manetti stocks are
being cut heavily, with the prospect that
deliveries will be so far short that a
normal demand for grafted rose plants
can not be met next spring.

An unfortunate number of claims for
frost losses have been filed with the ex-
press companies as a result of the cold
snaps of November and December. Read-
ers of The Review are urged to be as
reasonable as possible in such matters,
as the companies will raise rates if the
business is considered unprofitable.

In every line of business there are
men who are afraid — who never ask
quite as much as their competitors.
Sometifnes it is because of a conscious-
ness of the inferiority of merchandise or
service, but among florists it more often
is simply for want of confidence; one
man could get as good prices as another
if he only thought so.

The Census Bureau has been investi-
gating the cost of delivery as affecting
retail prices and has found that with
ice, coal, wood and milk the cost of de-
livery is about eight per cent of the retail
price. How is it with flowers?

The settlement of the season's losses
on azaleas will be a diflficult matter, as
between shipper, purchaser, forwarding
agent and transportation company. The
insurance people stayed out of it after
last year's experience and have reason
to congratulate themselves.

HABD LINES!

The law known as the Act of August
24, 1912, makes a publisher liable to a
fine if he prints in his reading columns
statements which properly are advertis-
ing matter and fails to add the word
"Advertisement," or "Adv." Al-
though the law has been in existence
four years, no effort has been made to
enforce it until recently. The Post-
oflSce Department has just drawn the
attention of daily newspapers in many
cities that the automobile notes, pub-
lished as reading notices, really are ad-
vertising matter which, while printed
without direct charge, are quite plainly a
part of the service given on an order for
other advertising in the same or a sub-
sequent issue and that such reading no-
tices must be plainly marked "Adver-
tisement, ' ' as the law requires.

If the post-office ever gets around to
enforcing the law with respect to cer-
tain trade papers the word "Advertise-
ment" will be more overworked than
the word "very" now is in their text
pages.

A BEASON FOB CLOSEB CBEDITS.

The following is printed on a paster
attached to the trade list of W. W. Wil-
more :

I- wish to say to the trade in general that,
with the exception of postage stamps, overy-
tliing connected with tlie management of my
Imsiness, from tlie tools used In the production
of the crops to the paper on which the finished
iwodnct is billed, has advanced In price from
fwcnty per cent to over 100 per cent In the last
year or two — still I am quoting the same prices
as heretofore. And while I realize that this
course will cut Into the season's profits, still
I hope to serve my patrons and still have a
workin? profit left over.

To do so will require more care in extending
credit to persons unknown to me and also to
tliose who In the past have been negligent In
meeting their obligations when due. Orders,
therefore, from persons unknown to me must
be accompanied with the remittance or satis-
factor.v references or the order will not be
recognized.

Tracing references causes delay In executing
orders. I trust that the reasonableness of the
foregoing will appeal to all fair-minded people.

With costs as they are, losses through
the accumulation of uncollectable ac-
counts become a serious item and nearly
everyone is examining credits more
closely than in years when margins of
profit were wider.

MUST EARN OUB MONEY.

This is a Christmas that florists will
be compelled to earn every cent of prof-
it they make. The cold wave is general
over almost the entire United States and
it adds tremendously to the difficulties
of the holiday season. In the first place,
it has held back the shoppers, reducing
the early buying and adding to the rush
that always comes as Christmas eve ap-
proaches. In another direction it has
added to the complexity of the situation
because the cold, dark, snowy weather
has reduced the supplies of stock; re-
ports indicate that the supplies of cut
flowers as well as those of blooming

plants are less than usual this year in
spite of the rapid increase in glass. But
after the florist has taken his orders am
found the stock to fill them with, hi
troubles are by no means at an end
Delivery with the temperature in thi
neighborhood of zero is no joke. Unus
ually thorough wrapping must be dom
this season because of the unusual se
verity of the weather. Those whole '■
salers who have neglected it already ar(
paying the penalty, because they an
having complaints that stock has beei ■
frozen in transit. The retailers must
wrap heavily and carefully or they wil
meet with large losses in delivery; ar
zero plants cannot make the trip fron
curb to doorway without thorough cov
ering.

THE PENXJLTIMATE NOTICE.

No subscriptions to The Review
mailed after December 31 will be ac
cepted for a full year unless accompa-
nied by a remittance of $1.50, but s('
long as 1916 is with us any member ot
the trade is welcome to extend a present
subscription or enter a new subscrip
tion at the old rate of $1 per year. Wel-
come, although this is the way a Maine
subscriber looked at it:

Please advance the date of my subscription two
years, although on account of the increased cost
of paper it seems like taking advantage of vou.—
G. W. Huff, Sanford, Me., December 11, 1910.

Although The Review's paper bill in

November was $1,500 greater than in

the same month of 1915, the publishers

want every reader who will feel the

extra 50 cents to take advantage of the

opportunity to save the money — go as

far as you like:

Enclosed Is a check for $7 for extension of sub-
scription seven years from date of expiration
(June 7, 1917), as we find The Review Indispen-
sable.— Lyle E. Severance, Lansing, Mich.,
December 7, 1916.

The assurance of even larger circula-
tion than ever, thus given for 1917, in-
sures the continuation of prompt re-
turns to advertisers. Like this:

The ad In The Review did It; sold out the first
day; hart about twenty offers for mv plants. —
Henry Gerstenkorn, Decatur, 111., December 8,

inio.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The dark and cold weather of last
week shortened all stock considerably.
This shortage was further added to by
the fact that growers were holding bac'
as much stock as possible so as to havi
it in the market after Christmas price
went into effect. Apparently what wa-
true of Chicago obtained nearly a"'
over the country, for many outside mai
kets drew on Chicago for their want-.
This, together with a brisk deman i
from regular customers, made for a goo i
shipping business and tended to tighte i
up prices considerably. The deman 1
from outside customers was so grer:
that it was at times almost impossible t >
fill orders. Local trade, on the othf '
hand, was slow and, while larger retai -
ers were kept busy with parties an 1
special work, almost all of the small*""
dealers complained of poor business, i
not unusual condition in the f ortnigl t
before Christmas.

Present indications are that th s
Christmas will be a most successful ore
for florists, retailers, wholesalers anl
growers alike. That there is a gener;.l

shortage of stock seems certain, but
just how short the supply of cut flowers
will be it is difficult to estimate. That
high prices will be asked and obtained
seems a matter of certainty, however.
More early advance orders have been
booked this season than any previous
year, which would indicate that the re-
tail trade is looking for good business
and is anxious to make certain of re-
ceiving its supply in ample time.

All varieties of roses have been in
short supply for the last week and no
difficulty has been found in clearing
stock at good prices. American Beau-
ties in all lengths generally are reported
scarce and clearing easily. Carnations
have shortened up considerably in the
last few days and prices are steadily
advancing. Indications are that red
varieties will be as scarce as ever and
no difficulty should be found in obtain-
ing good prices for them. A few mums
may still be seen on the market.

Lilies are arriving in larger quanti-
ties and are moving more easily. The
supply of valley is just about meeting
the demand. Violets are arriving in
good supply and are clearing fairly well.
Sweet peas are in larger supply, the
quality is improved and they sell read-
ily at good prices. The demand for
calendulas has been constantly increas-
ing and good prices are being obtained.
The supply is a little short. Paper
Whites are about the only flowers in
oversupply and are moving slowly.
Stevia has shortened up markedly, the
quality of the stock is good and it is
clearing readily. Boman hyacinths and
bouvardia may be seen in small supply.
The supply of winterberries is at pres-
ent far below par. Not only has the
excessive cold in Michigan, together
with sleet and snow, made it almost im-
possible to obtain pickers, but it also
has impaired the quality of the berries,
turning them black.

encouraged them to try the long-dis-
tance shipments have encountered
enough difficulties to make it seem fairly
certain that the Chicago market will not
be seriously affected by this compe-
tition.

The cold snap caused heavy losses by
freezing while crossing the western
states in the special refrigerator cars.
These claims follow others made in No-
vember as the result of losses on the
chrysanthemum shipments and, if they
have not discouraged the shippers and
consignees, have caused the express
companies to reconsider the proposition.
Where they formerly solicited business
for as well as of the California ship-
pers, they now are holding back until
they can figure out a way of preventing
the losses, as the claims have made the
business unprofitable.

It looks as though it would be found
that the radius of successful regular
business for the Californians would be
found to fall quite a little short of reach-
ing Chicago and that this market can
be entered profitably only under excep-
tional circumstances.

Various Notes.

Early in the Christmas rush many of
the retailers noted a disposition to buy
the better grades of stock this year.
Persons who came in to spend $5 saw
something they liked and did not hesi-
tate if the price was twice what they
had intended to spend. The result was

that in many cases the retailers came
into the market to buy better grades of
flowers than they had intended using.

Certain members of the trade have
this week received a telegram as follows:
"New member of our firm, Edward 11.
Goldenstein. Langhout & Co." The
firm whose name is signed to the tele-
gram is a well known one at Sassenheii'i,
Holland, whose representatives at pres-
ent are in this country. Mr. Qolde;!-
stein. Who is well known in the bu'b
trade as connected with a Chicago houea,
has made no announcement.

August Jurgens underwent an opera-
tion for appendicitis at the Alexi: n
Brothers hospital last week.

Schiller has sent out a 12-page Chri t-
mas folder showing plants in colors a: d
has enclosed with it a notice that t' e
three Schiller stores will be open ; H
day and evening Sunday, December 2i,
and also Christmas day. Evidently t e
motto there is ' ' Make hay while the s' Q

The Birchwood Flower Shop, former y

in liandling a steadily increasing plant
trade.

The J. A. Budlong establishment is
becoming known in the market as "The
Corner House," which in Wall street
is the title given J. P. Morgan & Co.

With an early expiration of his lease
at 11 West Randolph street, .John A.
Huebner is looking about for a loca-
tion where he can better his facilities.
Of course a renewal of his present lease
means an increased rental.

Because he had an excellent crop of
gladiolus bulbs at his farm in Michigan
this year A. Ij. Randall considers him-
self particularly lucky.

Although he has been uniformly suc-
cessful, A. H. Schneider never had a
better season with cyclamens than this
year. The plants were unusually fine
and as early as December 15 he had sold
every one except those set aside for his
own retail store in Oak Park.

E. T. Wanzer, who sold his green-
houses at Wheaton several years ago
and retired, now lives in Oak Park. He
still keeps in touch with the trade by
frequent visits to the A. L. Randall Co.,
where he shipped his flowers in the old
days.

The George Wittbold Co. sent out an
unusually elaborate folder to its retail
trade this Christmas. It consisted of

MIIiWAUEEE.

The Market.

Christmas is with us once again, and
conditions this year seem to be worse
than the local market has seen in some
time. In the first place, there is a tre-
mendous call for all kinds of stock. The
general supply is far short, and it seems
as though there will not be a satisfied
florist, wholesaler or retailer, in this
vicinity. Carnations seem to be in
best supply, but the demand for red is
so great that, despite the supply, there
undoubtedly will be a shortage of this
stock.

Eoses are extremely scarce. Mrs.
Charles Bussell and Ophelia, which bear
the brunt of the attack, are in short sup-
ply, and it is next to impossible to fill
orders for these varieties. The quality
is excellent and well worth the price
charged, but that does not increase the
supply, and these will be almost unob-
tainable at any price. Of course the de-
mand for red roses is strong and the
supply is light, although a good propor-
tion of the crop will be of this color. Kil-
larney and White Killarney are selling
well and good prices are realized on
them because of their extreme shortage.

Violets also are unusually scarce, the
supply of the doubles being far short of
the demand, and there are practically
no singles to be had. The so-called
Sweetheart roses are being substituted
in many instances and are giving satis-
faction in every case. The supply of
orchids is fairly large, but the cut is
disposed of easily at $12 per dozen.
There are some exceptionally fine cat-
tleyas to be had and, considering the
quality, the buyer is getting his money 'a
worth even at the above price.

There are few sweet peas in the mar-
ket, and they are picked up readily at
good prices. There has been no change
in the valley situation, and it is almost
impossible to supply any of this stock,
regardless of price.

The sale of supplies, such as wreaths,
ruscus, frieze, etc., has been brisk this
season, as the retailers must have some-
thing to offer their trade in place of the
usual cut stock and plants.

This brings up the plant situation,
which is as bad as we ever want to see
it for a holiday. Azaleas, while they
reached this country, were so late in ar-
rival and in such poor condition that it
was impossible to take care of any
orders for early delivery. Even with
hard forcing it is doubtful if they
will be in shape to sell at the end of the
week. This leaves a tremendous hole in
the market which the other plants can-
not begin to fill. Due to the fact that
other plants, especially the blooming
kinds, were only in small supply, foliage
plants had an exceptionally quick sale;
and it was impossible to get an order
filled on most kinds two weeks ago.

Nobody makes any money when such
conditions obtain, even if the prices
advance, as they necessarily do when
there is a decrease in the supply. The
condition is unhealthy, and all we can
hope is that spring business will be a
great improvement over the present
holiday season. H. J. S.

The Market.

Business this week surpassed that of
last week, despite the scarcity of stock.
The present indications are that roses
of good quality will not be overplentiful
at Christmas. Carnations will be more
abundant and will not bring the high
prices of previous years, white and col-
ors other than red now bringing $5 and
$6, and red selling at $7 and $8. Poin-
settias of good quality are making their
appearance and the prospects are that
they will be plentiful, with prices rang-
ing from $1.50 to $5 per dozen. Smaller
flowers, such as violets and sweet peas,
will surpass last year's supply. The
quality and prices of valley and orchids
will be about the same as in previous
holiday seasons.

The demand for holly, evergreens and
Christmas trees has been unusually
large, but this branch of the business is
fast slipping from the florists, as every
corner grocery handles trees and
wreaths. Fancy wreaths for holiday
purposes arrive and are used by the flo-
rists in place of holly. These are made
of magnolia leaves festooned with thistle,
red berries, teasel, red ruscus and im-
mortelles.

Various Notes,

A. F. .T. Baur attended the St. Louis
Florists' Club's meeting last week and
took with him his new carnation, Merry
Christmas, which scored eighty-nine
points. He is at present sending out
premium lists for the carnation show
and anyone desiring any information
with reference to the show should ad-
dress Secretary Baur. All entries for
the show must bo in by January 21.

McCray Florists
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box.
Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but
you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec-
tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is
the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran-
saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your
name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

azaleas, which are quite scarce,- bego-
nias, cyclamens, poinsettias, etc., are
sold out by the growers, and in many
cases they have been sold out since De-
cember 1. Good blooming plants were
plentiful in this market, with more cyc-
lamens and begonias grown than ever
before.

Cut stock promises to go the same
way, advance orders showing that the
retailer is alive to his opportunity.

Various Notes.

Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind., and
Henry Sheppard, of Hill's Cincinnati
store, were visitors recently. They took
in the wholesale market and called on
the downtown stores and a few green-
houses, under the guidance of Herman
Knoble.

Alterations in the store of Knoble

ready for the rush. The firm now has
one of the best looking stores in the mid-
dle west; the improvements made have
worked wonders in the appearance of
the store.

The Market.

The usual lull before Christmas was
not so marked this season. Last week's
business was most satisfactory; the sup-
ply of stock was not equal to the de-
mand. The cold weather had a tend-
ency to shut off the supply of roses, but,
then, most of the growers were holding
stock back as much as possible for
Christmas. Perhaps never before have
there been so many mums for Christmas
as this year.

Beauties are of excellent quality and
in sufficient numbers, and there has been
a good demand for them during the last
few weeks. Other varieties of roses also
are excellent. Without a doubt higher
prices will be paid this year than ever
before and retailers will be glad to get
stock at anv figures. Killarnov, which

The Market.

There is every indication of a white
Christmas. Two snow storms were ac-
companied by a degree of cold that
strikes terror to the heart of the shipper
of perishable plants and flowers. Ex-
traordinary efforts are being made to
get this perishable product safely to its
destination, with what success will be
known later. The usual period of dull-
ness that precedes Christmas and the
holidays has been absent. The market
has been active from December 14 to
December 20, with no surplus of stock;
in fact, so light has been the supply that
Christmas prices, or what is expected to
be Christmas prices, went into effect De-
cember 18 and 19. Carnations took a
sharp advance in the face of light re-
ceipts and cold, dark weather. Other
flowers shared in the advance to a lesser
extent. Koses advanced more in the
lower grades than in the higher, or
rather that advance was more apparent,
the trading in fancies being light this
week. The whole tone of the market is
to take what you can get and be glad
to get it, rather than the critical spirit
fostered by fall surpluses.

Reviewing the market just before a
big holiday is rather stupid stuff, but

there are a few points worth noting.
The heavy demand for flowering plants
has consumed, as far as the growers are
concerned, a supply of great size. The
effect of this great demand has been to
increase the number and size of the ad-
vance orders for cut flowers. Outside of
roses, also Paper Whites and stevia, Ihe
supply of cut flowers is below normal.
The trading in Christmas greens has
been extremely heavy.

The Originator of Milady.

I wonder if those western rose grow-
ers who are doing so well with the red
rose, Milady, ever met "Teddy" Towill,
of Roslyn. If they didn't they have
something pleasant ahead, for a jollier,
more enthusiastic rosarian than "Ted-
dy" Towill never used the camel 's-hair
brush.

It happened at the rose meeting to
start the rose show that a reproachful
look and a peep at a box of seedlings
prompted a visit to Roslyn. It is an un-
derstood thing that the visitor to Roslyn,
Ik' who is familiar with floral etiquette,
c-lls on Mr. Farenwald, Mr. Groshens
aii 1 Mr. Towill, all three in one after-
noon. An S. O. S. call and divers duties
^'■'ide it so late on that eventful after-
iioon that it was possible to make only
oie call. So an hour was given over to
t)ie delight of "Teddy" Towill's seed-
li'ijjs and his talk about them, beginning
^ith his description of the choice of the
^''me, Milady, "a rose that a man can
S'Tid to someone who is not his wife" —
^'hat a chance for the sisters, the cousins
■''id the aunts, to say nothing of the best
S '1! — down to his new yellow, the Gem.
^' was all delightful.

There were pots of seedlings just com-
ing up; crosses of Kaiserin and White
Killarney and Joseph Hill, a favorite of
Mr. Towill, and Richmond and Ophelia
and many more. The prime factor in
success, Mr. Towill thinks, is to select as
pod parents varieties of which the seeds
mature rapidly. There is a great differ-
ence in the time required to mature
seed; the slow varieties he considers too
slow for practical purposes. Of course,
this is only one point of many necessary
to form a good cross.

The bed of seedlings was a treat.
There were three or four of unusual
merit. A white of immense size, two
pinks and one salmon-pink were espe-
cially charming. There were several
promising yellows. The Gem has passed
into a more advanced stage; three beds
of it are blooming freely in a way to
interest Mrs. Aaron Ward, could she but
see. A mere list of the crosses and the
impressions they made would prove
futile. Instead, fancy a whole-souled,
cheerful man tramping up and down the
walk just ahead, pointing out the merit
of this or that seedling, giving its his-
tory and many a little bit of informa-
tion besides; then you will see "Teddy"
Towill, of Roslyn, displaying his many-
colored bed of seedling roses.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Market.

Stock generally was scarce last week,
following several rapid changes of
weather conditions. Carnations are
higher than at the same time in any of
the last few years. The shortage has
been marked since Thanksgiving day.
The cold weather lessened the supply of
roses, but those that are coming into the
market show a marked improvement in
quality. Narcissi have begun to come
into the market in large quantities and
the price has dropped. There are quite
a few yellow daisies. Sweet peas sell
as quickly as they are received. There
still are some good late chrysanthe-
mums, although the supply does not
equal the demand. There has been no
change in lily of the valley. There is
little of it selling, because of its high
price. Snapdragon is improving in
quality and is in somewhat better de-
mand. Stevia is good ajad sells fairly
well. Wholesalers are somewhat at a
loss to understand why the price of vio-
lets, both double and single, is so low.

Large quantities of potted plants have
made their appearance and the outlook
for their sale is good. These have be-
come extremely popular in recent years
as Christmas gifts.

Various Notes.

Eobert Pyle, of West Grove, Pa., vis-
ited Washington last week at the invi-
tation of the Takoma Park Citizens'
Association. Mr. Pyle spoke on "The
Arlington Eose Gardens."

William F. Gude has just been select-
ed as chairman of the illumination com-
mittee of the inaugural committee. This
is the position he held on the occasion
of President Wilson 's first inauguration.
His committee will have in charge the
entire additional lighting system of the
city. Mr. Gude states that he will select
his coworkers of the committee within a
few days. In all probability a number
of florists will be asked to serve with
Mr. Gude.

An effort is being made in Congress,
under a bill introduced by Eepresenta-
tive Barnhart, of Indiana, to bring about
the freer sale of poisonous compounds
when intended for insecticidal use. The
bill proposes to exempt these from the
provisions of the District of Columbia
pharmacy law.

The lAarket.

Clear, cold weather opened this im-
portant week, but business is seriously
threatened by light shipments, high
prices and a complete clean-up of bloom-
ing plants everywhere in this part of
the country. Never has such'a combina-
tion of obstacles to a successful Christ-
mas existed.

The rose market is a serious problem.
The supply is far belOw the demand,
especially in the lower grades, and
prices are already as high as the usual
Christmas level. Many of the whole-
salers think they have already reached
their top. Everything now depends
upon increase in quantity and there is
no certainty of this until the holidays
are over. Last week American Beauties
were not overabundant and for some
choice flowers 60 cents was obtainable.

fact that for nineteen years Mr. Schenck
has been a member of the organization
and has not missed a meeting in ten
years.

Arthur Herrington has been appointed
manager of the spring flower show. The
committee will meet weekly, commenc-
ing January 8. Last week twenty-two
members were present at the meeting in
the Grand Central Palace. The use of
a third floor for the exhibition seems
probable.

WarendorflP's decorations at the head-
quarters of the firm in the Ansonia hotel
are elaborate. An extra store adjoining
has been secured.

Although there has been no scarcity
of immortelles this season, thirty addi-
tional cases came in on the boat from
Marseilles which docked December 15.
The name of the actual consignee was
not made known, as they were in care of
Lunham & Moore, forwarding agents.

head, has been removed from 17 State

had some notable decorations lately, at

nearby hotels.

Kottmiller has greatly enlarged and
improved his handsome store at 426

with goldfish adds to its completeness.

good showing of Christmas plants and
baskets in all the flower stores. All sea-
soijable stock is selling well and many
retailers report an unusual increase in
oiisLness during the last two weeks. Ac-
''I'ding to local growers, there promises
t' be an abundance of good stock in the
niirket for the holidays. Prices have
^'Kanced considerably, now that the

Various Notes.

C. J. Watson, of the Leo Niessen Co.,
of Philadelphia, called on the trade this
week.

Art Beyers, who made a rather hur-
ried trip to the coast and back, has re-
joined the J. B. Keller Sons' force.

The Rochester Florists' Association
held its monthly meeting at the Musi-
cians' Headquarters December 11. The
attendance, on account of the busy sea-
son, was not large. After the usual
business an address was made by George
T. Boucher.

Cecil Lester, of the George B. Hart
establishment, has returned to the city
after a successful business trip through
New York state.

A great difficulty is experienced in
procuring errand boys at this time. Ee-
cently a large notice was seen in one of
the florists' windows, "A good boy
wanted." Eventually a boy was hired
and told to deliver his first package of
flowers, value about $3, C. O. D. The
flowers were delivered, the money col-
lected, but the boy did not return. This
"good" boy now has become a great
joke between this florist and a number
of his friends.

Hugo Teute has a large number of
azaleas in full bloom for the Christmas
trade. His cyclamens and Cincinnati
begonias also are in fine shape and clear
well. His house of carnations, with good
weather, will yield large crops.

Commencing January 3, the largest
display of fruits ever held in this city
under the auspices of the New York
State Fruit Growers' Association will
be shown at Exposition park. Large ex-
hibits of fruits will be made by the state
experiment station at Geneva, and the
Cornell Agricultural College will be rep-
resented by an educational booth.

I learn on good authority that the
business of the late Fred W. Vick ia for
sale. The business is in fine shape. Mrs.
Vick and son are not able to assume the
responsibility of continuing the busi-
ness. H. J. H.

enter the soil through the drainage
holes of the pots and eat out the main
fltalk of the root, killing the plant
<|uickly.

The volatile liquid carbon bisulphide
can be used to kill white ants in the
soil if moist and not compact, if small
holes be made near the infested plants
and a small quantity of carbon bisul-
phide poured in and the hole immedi-
ately closed tightly with earth. Care
should be taken in handling this inflam-
mable and explosive fluid, and the
fumes should not be inhaled.

In the experiments conducted by Mr.
Borden, in the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, an effective con-
trol was found in the use of a five per
cent kerosene-emulsion solution. In
case the benches can not be replaced
immediately on account of a certain
crop, it has been found practical to
soak the ashes or sand under the pots
and the infested benches thoroughly
with this solution. This may be done
by removing the potted plants from a
section of the bench, spraying that sec-
tion, and moving the pots on the bench
up to cover the treated area, thus ex-
posing another section to be treated.
Potted heliotropes and geraniums have
been treated directly with the five per
cent kerosene-emulsion solution without
injury to the plants and the white ants
in the soil of the pots were killed. This
treatment should be given late in the
afternoon and followed early next morn-
ing with a thorough syringing with
water to wash the surplus oil out of
the soil. It is important also to re-
move all infested pots promptly from
the bench as soon as they are notiood
and to destroy the white ants with
kerosene emulsion.

The removal of decayed infested
woodwork in greenhouses will prevent
the plants from becoming infested in
turn.

Manistee, Mich. — .Joseph Clark son
and his greenhouse display of mums,
•callas, cyclamens and primroses recent-
ly came in for lengthy comment in the
Manistee press. As free write-ups
sometimes are almost as effective as
paid display space, it is surprising that
more florists do not invite the inspired
tiews reporter around once in a while.

ST. LOUIS.

The Itfarket.

The St. Louis wholesale market
was in splendid condition last week,
as everything in season was in good sup-
ply and prices were reasonable. The de-
mand was large, and the retailers report
a busy week in all lines. The week's re-
ceipts of roses were large and the quality
of the stock of the best. American
Beauties and Russell were in large de-
mand, and Milady and Ward came in for
a good call. Sunburst is in good color;
also Ophelia. Beauties will go up to $12
per dozen for choice stock this week, and
Russell to $6 per dozen for extra select.
Fancy Ophelia will go to $25 per hun-
dred. These will be in good supply, ac-
cording to reports.

Carnations will not be so plentiful, and
extra choice stock in red and rose-pink
will go to $8 per hundred. Orchids will be
plentiful at $12 per dozen for large cat-
tleyas. Violets are arriving in limited
quantities and last week were up to $1
per hundred. Christmas prices for these
should go to $1.50 to $2 per hundred.
Valley will remain at $6 per hundred,
and many advance orders have been
plnced. Sweet peas are going to be scarce
and extra fancy choice will bring $1,50
per hundred. Paper Whites are fine at
$4 per hundred.

The wholesalers report many advance
orders for Christmas and they expect to
fill all orders. Last week the weather
was cold and, the temperature down to
zero, it was a capacity test for many of
the growers in the county. Every florist
is looking forward to the best Christmas
in years.

parks throughout the city, the meeting
was called to order by President Jules
Bourdet, with nearly fifty members pres-
ent.

After disposing of the preliminaries
the chair called for reports of the various
committees. Secretary Ohlweiler of the
Flower Show Association reported that
everything is in working order for the
spring show, which is only ninety days
away; that all the committees are work-
ing harmoniously, and that after the
holidays weekly meetings will be re-
sumed.

The committee on changing the by-
laws read its report for the first time.
The changes will come up for adoption
at the next meeting. A. F. J. Baur, sec-
retary of the American Carnation So-
ciety, of Indianapolis, Ind., was present
and staged a fine vase of his new scarlet
carnation, Merry Christmas, which took
the eye of the carnation growers present.
The chair appointed a committee, con-
sisting of J. F. Ammann, W. A. Eowe
and W. J. Pilcher, to judge its merits.
They reported later that the new carna-
tion scored eighty-nine points and
awarded the exhibitor the club's certifi-
cate of merit.

On motion a transportation committee
was appointed, consisting of David Ged-
dis, H. Berning and W. J. Pilcher, to ar-
range for the trip to attend the Ameri-
can Carnation Society meeting^ at In-
dianapolis next month. Interesting cor-
respondence was read and ordered filed
for further reference. For the good of
the club W. W. Ohlweiler started an in-
teresting discussion on who is the more
successful man in the fiorists' business,
the practical or the scientific. This took
up the greater part of the meeting. Those
who led in the discussion besides Mr.
Ohlweiler were J. F. Ammann, Alex-
ander Lurie, H. C. Irish, F. J. Fillmore
and President Bourdet.

The trustees announced that there
would be another interesting discussion
on for the first meeting of the new year
— a general review of the Christmas
businesp.

ness men last week brought many tele-
graph orders to Keview advertisers. One
of them showed the writer ten. Heavy
funeral orders were reported in all parts
of the city.

The H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co. is
supplying the St. Louis market with
fancy pussy willows. Frank Weber, of
this firm, reports that they will cut
50,000 for cold storage,

F. H. Weber returned home from his
eastern trip early last week. Mr. Weber
states that he has many advance orders
from out of town for Christmas delivery.
His show house is filled with choice
blooming plants.

George Schmidt, Kirkwood rose
grower for W. J. Pilcher, spent a day in
the wholesale market last week. He re-
ports a splendid cut of fancy roses for
Christmas this year.

The Washington avenue store of
Grimm & Gorly is one of the attractions
in the busy downtown shopping district.
The display of an electric fountain,
baskets and cut stock in the large show
windows attracted the crowds and
brought smiles to the faces of Vincent
Gorly and his brother Frank.

The. establishment of Mrs. M. Eg-
geling, 1707 South Grand avenue, in
charge of the Misses Eggeling, is pre-
pared for a busy week, with many ad-
vance orders for Christmas.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle met at
the home of Mrs. F. W. Bruenig Decem-
ber 13 and spent a most pleasant after-
noon. Mrs. F. C. Weber, Sr., will enter-
tain the circle next month at her home
on Berlin avenue.

There is a wealth of blooming plants
in the show houses of George Waldbart,
Ayres Floral Co., F. C. Weber, Kalisch
Bros. Floral Co., John Boerm, Sanders
Nursery Co. and Young Bros. Floral Co.
for the Christmas demand. All report
many advance orders.

A. F. J. Baur, secretary of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society, spent December
14 in the city. Mr. Baur expects a big
meeting of the society at Indianapolis
next month, and a big representation
from here was promised him.

The MuUanphy Florists, both the
Grand avenue and downtown stores, ex-
perienced a busy week. Mr. Seeger, of
the downtown store, and Nat Kingsley,
in charge of the Grand avenue store, Bay
they expect a great business week.

E. W. Guy, Gust Grossart, H. Emunds,
Adolph Fehr and Walter Ogle, of
Belleville, 111., recent visitors buying
Christmas supplies, say business is excel-
lent with them in all lines.

The Maxl:et.

Supplies of cut flowers have been
light during the last few days, many
stands being almost bare. This is due
less to any real scarcity of flowers than
to the customary holding back for the
holidays. Prices are stiff and growers
who are shipping in daily supplies are
likely to make more money than those
who are waiting for December 22 and
23 before throwing supplies on the mar-
ket. Only occasionally does the man
who holds back win. If, perchance, cli-
matic conditions just prior to the holi-
days are unfavorable, his losses are
likely to be heavy. The same tactics,
however, are adopted each year.

Roses are in fairly good supply, with
prices firmly held. American Beauties
now are quoted at $60 to $75 for select
stock, but they undoubtedly will hit the
dollar mark at the end of the week.
Ophelia is the greatest seller among the
hybrid teas, which latter sell from $4
to $20 per hundred, with some fancies
higher. Carnations are not coming in
freely and prices are already up to $6
and $10 per hundred, with whites the
weakest sellers. Violets, snapdragons,
cornflowers, marguerites, Paper Whites,
Roman hyacinths, wallflowers, calen-
dulas, pink and white bouvardiaa and
stevia clean up well. Lily of the val-
ley is a little lower; buyers refused to
purchase it at $8 per hundred. Some
chrysanthemums still arrive. Lilies are
in good supply, but not active. Some
good poinsettias are oflfered. The call
for asparagus is not particularly good.
The cattleyas seen are chiefly Percivali-
ana, and these realize fancy prices.
There are few gardenias coming in.

The pot plant business is booming and
specialists have practically sold out
their stock. Azaleas now are quite

Bartsch and Thomas Coles were elected
members of the executive committee.
The exhibits for the evening were a col-
lection of Christmas plants by the W. W.
Edgar Co., of Waverley, and a showing
of Erlangoa tomentosa by \V. N. Craig,
who was awarded a cultural report of
merit. The annual banquet was set for
February 7. Plight new nlcmbers were
elected.

J. N. Keeler, New England and resi-
dent Boston manager for Hitchings &
Co., gave a splendid stcreopticon lec-
ture on * ' Greenhouses, Their Design, Ar-
rangement and Construction," which
was listened to with much interest, and
the lecturer was warmly applauded. It
was voted to hold the annual banquet
this winter in Horticultural hall in lieu
of a hotel.

Various Notes.

A destructive fire at the Boylston
street estal)]ishmpnt of P. L. Carbone
Decenibor 12 caused heavy loss to the
ininiense and valuable stock of glass and
pottery ware, garden furniture, etc.,
contained in three floors of the building.
Newspaper estimates of the loss were
$10,000, but Mr. Carbone says his loss,
which is covered by insurance, will be
several times that amount. As all of
the ware is imported, it will be difficult
to replace it under existing conditions.
In spite of the handicap caused by this
fire, business proceeds as usual at the
Boylston street store and is on a higher
scale than ever before.

A blizzard accompanied by twelve
inches of snow hit Boston December 15
and necessitated a postponement of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club's field
day scheduled for December 16 at
Framingham, Mass. Another date will
be selected, probably about the middle
of .January.

Thomas Roland was cleaned out of
practically every salable plant some
days before Christmas. He never ex-

The great National Allied Bazaar be-
ing held in Mechanics building, Boston,
December 10 to 20, is the event of the
month in Boston. There is a tremen-
dous daily attendance, as 250,000 tickets
were sold in advance. Local commer-
cial growers and private establishments
have contributed plants and flowers lib-
erally for the flower booth. Some of
the best selling cut flowers are Bou-
vardia Ilumboldtii, camellias, gardenias,
freesias, roses, carnations, calanthes,
oncidiums and cattleyas. In plants
there are begonias, ardisias, solanums,
Buddleia Asiatica, erlangeas, coccincas,
cypripediums and poinsettias. One or-
chid plant, Eulophiella Elizabctha*, was
donated by an amateur grower of
TiOndon, England.

has just completed an office attached to
his stalls in the Boston Cooperative Mar-
ket, which fills a long felt want.

James Wheeler, of Natick, our local
marguerite king, has a glorious show of
blooms on his plants for the holidays,
every plant being golden with flowers.
All are grown in solid beds. He also
has his carnations in heavy crop, Alice
being more prolific than any other.

Bachelor's buttons now are a popular
all-the-year-around flower in the Boston
market. The bulk of the flowers come
from the Tewksbury carnation belt.
Harry L. Shedd, of South Lowell, well
known as a skilled carnationist, is prov-
ing a past master in the winter produc-
tion of bachelor's buttons, or buttons,

oped during the last week. Boses are in
fair supply and of excellent quality, but
the daily receipts are quickly taken and
no surplus is left to accumulate. Carna-
tions are on the short side, and the Tri-
Cities will have to draw more heavily
on outside sources. iLilies, sweet peas,
violets and other flowers also are scarce.
There are no azaleas to speak of.
Cyclamens are in large demand and some
fine stock is arriving, as well as prim-
roses. The Christmas demand for potted
plants is increasing daily and many
orders are being booked.

Club Meeting.

The Tri-City Florists' Club met in
regular session at the Deere conserva-
tories, Moline, Thursday, December 14,
with Messrs. Anderson and Sorensen as
hosts. The club members enjoyed a
stroll through the greenhouses, where
Mr. Anderson, who is a hybridizer, has
produced some fine new seedling carna-
tions. A deep pink that showed red by
lamplight was exceptionally fine and
may be heard from later. Long, stout
stems, large flowers, not too full, and a
calyx that does not split, are some of its
good points. There are many more, some
of which may prove good commercial
varieties. Everything about the houses
showed Mr. Anderson to be a painstak-
ing grower.

The meeting was called to order by

President L. Stapp, and it was decided
to hold a flower show November 2 to 4,
1917, at the Masonic hall, Rock Island.
P. G. Pearson read a well-prepared paper
on the topic of the evening, "Potted
Plants for Christmas and the Holidays."
The club members showed their appre-
ciation of it by vigorous handclapping.
A general discussion followed.

The next meeting will be held at the
residence of L. Stapp, at Rock Island,
January 12. A vote of thanks was ac-
corded Messrs. Anderson and Sorensen.

Various Notes.

Ivhvaid Patten, who has resigned his
position as foreman of the Stapp Floral
Co., has leased the greenhouses of Miss
Rose Woltman and henceforth will be
proprietor and grower. He expects to
build several new houses the coming
year. A cottage now is in process of
erection and will be occupied by the
Patten family as soon as completed.

The writer had the pleasure of view-
ing a fine bed of mushrooms grown by
P. G. Pearson, of the Bettendorf - Con-
servatories. They certainly were in
good crop. W. G.

Bloomington, 111. — Bloomington now
has one more florist, Frank A. Harder,
of 1408 West Locust street, who made
up his mind not to remain an employee
any longer and, accordingly, put up a
sign of his own.

John C. Leonard has returned to Chi-
cago after a brief trip through the mid-
dle west.

Our friends, the canners, got another
jolt last week when the American Can Co.
withdrew all quotations.

There are those who say 500 tons of
radish seed are being shipped out of Cali-
fornia of the 1916 crop!

"The bulb business is not profit-
able but 'darned' interesting," accor-
ding to Arnold Kingier of the W. "W.
Barnard Co.

The Western Seed House, Salina, Kan.,
after forty years in the wholesale and re-
tail seed business, has branched out by
opening a retail flower store.

The "Business Embarrassments" col-
umn this week contains notice of a bank-
ruptcy action taken against Harry A.
Bunyard, Inc., which formerly conducted
"The Uptown Seed Store," New York.

According to A. H. Smith, of the Leon-
ard Seed Co., Chicago, there is at present
a large unsatisfied demand for beans and
sweet com. Canners in particular are
trying to cover their needs on sweet corn,
but are meeting with many disappoint-
ments, as crops are shelling out at much
less than was estimated.

This will be an easy season for the
contracting agent's of the California seed
growers. The prospects of getting stock
from Europe are so remote that every
seedsman is ready to contract for Cali-
fornia crops. Almost the only subject
for discussion is price and in practically
every case the growers' idea of values
soon is accepted.

Because of the experiences of corn
growers last season, the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture is supplying agri-
cultural papers with a series of articles
dealing with the fundamentals of corn
growing, especially with the maintenance
of a balance between heat, moisture and
fertility, by means of which it is hoped
materially to increase the yield per acre
next season.

Seedsmen who specialize in cantaloupe
seeds will be interested in Bulletin No.
401 of the U. S, Department of Agricul-
ture, issued October 31, 1916, and entitled
* ' Marketing and Distribution of Western
Muskmelons in 1915. ' ' It gives interest-
ing information regarding the varieties
grown in different districts and the quan-
tity of seed required. For instance, it is
shown that in the Imperial valley in 1915
there were 8,156 acres planted to musk-
melons at an average cost for seed of $2
per acre.

The Luther Burbank Co., of San Fran-
cisco, with which Mr. Burbank was as-
sociated only indirectly, is discontinuing
business. W. F. Pitts, formerly general
manager of that company and at present
trustee of the estate, is familiar with the
productions of Mr. Burbank and has or-
ganized his own company under the name
of W. F. Pitts Seed & Nursery Co., for
the purpose of featuring the productions
of Mr. Burbank. The new company will
do business at 326 Market street, San ,
Frandsco.

It is already well known that the
sweet corn deliveries in general will be
short and some kinds of flint and field
corns also are short, flint corns espe-
cially being quoted, by those who are
fortunate enough to have a surplus, at
higher prices than we have ever known
them to sell before.

Many of the cucumber and melon
crops at Rocky Ford were caught by the
cold, freezing weather, some of them be-
fore they were harvested, an^ others
were frozen quite severely in tbe pits.

December 21, 1916.

LILY BULBS

OUR MOTTO: "Your doUar's value.'

Those who know will grow Reburn & Co. lily bulbs, for they are fertilized (the truth without fear or favor), and
feeding the bulbs at growing stage positively produces the best results, maturing a healthy, sound bulb; three times
rogued and cultivated by the oldest and best experienced growers in Japan. GIGANTEUM of superb quality.

MULTIFLORUM for early Easter, true Kiota type, as you knew
Multifloruni twelve to fifteen years ago. Easter. 1918. is March 31.
Try a few cases. Supply limited.

FORMOSUM, black and green stem. The best Oshimo ev^r
produced. Write for prices on all sizes and Quantities.

Let us figure on your French and Dutch order for fall, 1917. Our connections are reliable. Read our motto.
Cold storage GIGANTEUM BULBS all the year. All sizes. Ask for prices. See offer of Gladioli in Classified Department.

G. M. REBURN & CO., 160 N. Wabash Ave., CHICAGO

Afentlon The Review when you write.

squash crops are short on account of the
crops being late and not fully matured,
also being harvested under unfavorable
conditions, and there are a number of
vine seed crops which have not yet been
received from the growers. It therefore
is impossible as yet to tell just what de-
livery will be made on last year's con-
tracts.

FREE SEEDS.

As required by the act appropriating
money for the congressional seed dis-
tribution, the Secretary of Agriculture
has transmitted to Congress a detailed
statement showing the place, quantity
and price of seeds purchased for the 1916
distribution, now a year old. The de-
tailed figures are interesting only as
showing what a considerable part of the
seeds needed the Department now is
compelled to buy on the open market
for lack of offers at the time the annual
bids are received. The quantities of
vegetable and flower seeds purchased
and the cost for the 1916 distribution
were as follows:

Vegetable Pounds Cost

Beans, dwarf 12,000 $ 650.00

Beans, pole 40,050 2,317.77

BePt 25,200 4,194.80

The enforcement of the Pharmacy

general opinion of the trade when he
described the act as a big nuisance.
This is the first instance where the act
is being enforced, although it has been
threatened in several other cities. A

AMERICAN SUGAE BEET SEED.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
calls attention that sugar beet seed was
grown commercially in the United
States this year in several of the states
from Michigan to California. The crop
of seed harvested in 1915 was so satis-
factory, according to the report of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, in each of
the areas tested that a largely increased
acreage was planted this year.

This bureau has assisted in an ad-

Approximately 5,000 acres are in beet

require the product of at least 16,000
acres for a normal planting, not con-

ments. Several new mills are in process
of construction for next year.

The problem of drjinf the sugar
beets for the purpose of increasing the
amount of raw material for the mill
and thereby increasing the length of
the sugar campaign has been further im-
vestigated. The principal difficult^ has
been in finding or devising a dryer of
suitable capacity to handle enough
beets per day to be profitable. A satis-
factory solution of the problem will be
beneficial in those small valleys in the
intermountain states, where the acre-
age is not suflScient to support a sugar
mill, and yet the sugar beet is neces-
sary to the highest results in the farm-
ing operations.

SHOBTAGE OF SEED WHEAT.

"The northwest is facing the most
serious seed wheat problem ever
known," says the Northwestern
Miller in a recent issue, "in conse-
quence of the low vitality of the 1916
crop, and the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce, the Duluth Board of Trade,
and the Minnesota, North and South
Dakota State Agricultural Colleges are
flooding the country with advice to
farmers to hold back good seed for the
1917 crop.

"Dean A. F. Woods, of the Minne-
sota State Agricultural College, sounded
a warning recently, and editors of agri-
cultural papers are also working to
awaken the farmers to the situation.

"While the situation is without prec-
edent, it is believed the northwest will
get through. There was a liberal carry-
over of 1915 wheat and if this is in-
sufficient there is good seed in Mon-
tana and Alberta. It is unlikely there
will be any Russian seed imported, but
quite probable that there will be Cana-
dian seed wanted."

CHICOBY SEED IN OEBMANY.

Methods employed in Germany for

Planting and cultivating chicory seed
ave been described by Gustav Jaensch,
who believes they will prove of great
assistance in efforts to raise the product
in the United States:

"Chicory seeds are planted there in
14.1-inch rows ('36 cm. in der Reine')>
about 19.7 inches apart. The plants are
allowed to grow out and bloom out until
the first blossoms have developed a
hard, yellow-brown grain. Neither the
lateral branches nor the ends of the
plants are cut off.

"In this region, where the climate
is moderate and great heat rarely pre-
vails, the plants normally reach a height
of four to five feet. The crop from
March plantings is usually harvested in
the second half of September. The en-
tire plants are then cut off just above
the roots with sharp and slightly
curved knives, bound together in small
bunches, and set up in double rows on
the fields for after-ripening. The seed
can then be threshed only in dry
weather or heavy frost in winter.

"Despite all precautionary measures
at least ten per cent of the ripened seed
usually lies on the ground, as a certain
percentage necessarily falls off when
the plants are touched. Inasmuch as
chicory seeds are always considerably
damaged by birds in Germany, watch-
men have to be kept in the fields all
day to prevent excessive loss."

use to you on account of its deadly na-
ture. I would suggest that you try
fumigating with Nico-Fume paper or
even tobacco dust. Either of these will
kill green aphis. The tobacco dust can
be placed in tin pans or even in small
heaps on the paths and can be started
with a red-hot cinder or a little kero-
sene. A mild fumigation once in ten
days when you are growing lettuce
will keep the plants clean. You should
not allow aphis to get such a foothold
as yours appear to have done. C. W.

Provost, Wash.— L. A. Borchers, at
Turn Point LigJit Station, is growing
for market a hardy clove-scented carna-
tion of a variety raised from seed eight
years ago. He carries his plants year
after year, cutting them back in the
autumn.

Port Orchard, Wash. — A. Parry, of
the Annapolis Nurseries, has devised a
remedy for the cabbage maggot, which
annually destroys great numbers of
plants in this section. It is a poison,
but not injurious to plant life. Mr.
Parry is considering means of putting
his discovery on the market.

Pleasanton, Cal. — Henry Klopfer
comes to his new position as head gar-
dener for Mrs. P. A. Hearst well
equipped in practice and theory. He
was employed in the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture,
for twelve years, nine of which were
devoted to plant propagation at the field
station at Chico, Cal.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Business during the last week has
been excellent in spite of the gradually
rising prices on stock; as one retailer
remarked: "It is good to be doing
something l)osides funeral work."
There have been several large enter-
tainments and funerals, besides which
transient trade in all the principal
streets has been good. Stock is better
than last reported, with the exception
of carnations. A cold, dry wind hit
these badly and also the outdoor poin-
settias, which were bruised severely.
Wholesalers say their advance orders
are better than ever before and retailers
say that they never knew orders given
so early, though the individual calls are
not for high-priced stock.

Plants arc likely to bo scarce, on ac-
count of the shortage in azaleas. Red
roses, the one thing needed at Christ-
mas, are likely to be plentiful, several
growers coming in with good crops; but
at that it is not at all likely all orders
will be filled. Red carnations will be
one of the scarce items without a doubt.
In groons there is some wonderful "Eng-
lish " holly coming from Vancouver,
magnificent stock, beautifully berried.
California rod berry is good in color and
exceptionally well berried. There is a
bigger demand than usual for wreathing
and other forms of redwood and pine.
Desert holly is plentiful and likely to be
cheaper. The ordinary groens used at
other times, such as plumosus, are scarce.

Frost Cuts Outdoor Stock.

Frost of unusual severity was ex-
perienced in the Los Angeles district on
the nights of December 16 and 17. At
Montebello, where it usually is warm, the
temperature was 2fi degrees, and it was
lower in the San Gabriel valley. In the
Santa Ana district a blanket of fog pre-
vented damage. The frost is expected
to reduce the supply of outdoor stock
and raise prices accordingly.

Various Notes.

Wolfskins' & Morris Goldenson 's store

W« are much pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review ; orders have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

Germain Seed & Plant Co.

Los Angeles, By M. L. Germain, Pres.

has been a busy place of late. There
was a good deal of work in connection
with the installation of officers of the
Eastern Star. Twenty-five bouquets
were given away at one function; at
another a large number of cyclamen
plants were given to the ladies present
- — quite a nice order.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery
Co., has the sold-out shingle on most of
his ])lants. Begonia Cincinnati and
Lorraine arc still in evidence at the
nursery, but evidently going fast.

The Roserie reports good business and
F. Raymond, one of the old proprietors,
looks prosperous.

The California Flower Market is a
busy place these days in the early morn-
ing. While some stock is scarce, there

is always a lot of good material coming
from the many growers who h;ive
stands here and local retailers find it
a great convenience.

C. C. Wooden, formerly with tiie
H. N. Gage Co., is in town again and 13
thinking of making a connection with
the florists' business here.

Murata & Co. were one of the con-
cerns handling really good late miims
last week, one of their growers shipping
in some magnificent Appletons. The
flowers were grown outdoors and cnv-
ered late; consequently they were not so
much injured by the rains. A big ship-
ping business in orchids has been done
of late.

A truly "decorative" window was
put up at the California Cut Flowci &
Evergreen Co. store on Seventh avenue.
Japanese frieze in the most at-
tractive colors, pine cones and other
decorative material showed how fine a
display can be made without much per-
ishable stock being shown at a time
when it is scarce.

Fred Sperry is a pretty busy man
these days and it is hard to get holil
of him, but judging by the many boxes
going out and the sweet smile on his

proportion. .Judging from the close
cleanup of stock, it would seem that the
higher figures are justified, but the re-
tailers are rather inclined to think the
prices a little stiff. A strong feature of
the rose market is that all varieties
show excellent quality.

The demand for violets is so great
that it looks as if the small shippers
might get left. The stock has suffered
some from the cold weather, the stems
being a little short, but not enough to
cause uneasiness. Carnations are com-
ing in well and good stock moves quick-
ly. Mums still linger, although the
large ones are not much in evidence any
more. The season has been a long one
and interest is beginning to wane. As
the offerings are light, they clean up,
however. There is a moderate cut of
pompons, but they are going off crop
rapidly.

A nice cut of frecsias is coming in

ing in their offerings of potted plants,
ferns, etc., for the Christmas trade, and
the retailers report indications favor-
able for a heavy demand for this stock.
Azaleas are extremely scarce this year
and the quality poor for the most part.
Great quantities of greens have been
brought in, including redwood wreaths
and garlands, Christmas trees, huckle-
berry, etc., but as this business is han-
dled principally by produce merchants,
it is not a big item in the florists' busi-
ness.

Various Notes.

C. W. Ward, proprietor of the Cottage
Gardens Nurseries, of Eureka, Cal., ar-
rived in San Francisco a few days ago,
bringing with him 200 carnation blooms,
which were put on display at the store
of Pelicano, Eossi & Co.. on Kearny
street. The assortment included fine
specimens of Belle Washburn, Crystal
White, Alice, Matchless and Cottage
Maid. Mr. Ward began to devote par-
ticular attention to the carnation many
years ago, and though he has branched
out widely in other directions he has al-
ways shown special interest in this
flower and has played an important part
in its development. Now he has dem-
onstrated that he can grow carnations
in California just as well as he for-
merly did at Queens, N. Y. Mr. Ward
celebrated his sixtieth birthday Decem-
ber 11. He may go east before return-
ing to his home at Elireka.

Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi &
Co., has a nice lot of mixed baskets of
cyclamens, primroses, ferns, etc., for his
firm's holiday use.

' 'Heine ' ' Cooper, formerly with Mac-
Eorie & McLaren, has accepted a posi-
tion at Joseph's.

Joseph's force made up about 120
shower bouquets last week for the girl
graduates of the city high schools. F. J.
Bertrand, manager of Joseph's, looks
for a heavy holiday business. From
present indications, he says, it promises
to be fully as good as last year, notwith-
standing the large number of exposition
visitors who lingered in the city until
after Christmas. The first half of the
month has been better at this store than
the corresponding period of December.
1915.

Herman Mosso, with Pelicano, Eossi
& Co., has the sympathy of the trade in
his bereavement by the death of his
baby.

Mrs. Frank Pelicano, who has been
seriously ill for some time, now is re-
cuperating in the country.

The park commissioners have author-
ized Park Superintendent John Mc-
Laren to begin the work on the first
section of the Ocean Beach esplanade,
which will consist of 750 feet of park-
ing, fifteen feet wide.

Charles Navlet expected to have the
improvements at hig store at San Jose,
Cal., completed before Christmas, but
the extensive alterations have taken
longer than he anticipated, and the
work will not be finished until after the
first of the year. Mr. Picetti, manager
of the seed and flower stand in the Em-
porium department store of this city,
which is operated by Mr. Navlet, con-
siders prospects excellent for a banner
holiday trade.

The home of Mrs. S. S. Lawrence, on
Twenty-sixth avenue, was elaborately
decorated by MacEorie & McLaren re-
cently for a formal tea. The work in-
cluded the reproduction of a miniature
garden on the table.

remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-

Albert O. Stein had the floral decora-
tion for the "Star ball" given at the
St. Francis hotel recently, which was
one of the most elaborate society events
of the year. Neither time nor expense
was spared in working out the details
of the decoration, and Mr. Stein has

received many congratulations upon the
success of the affair. S. H. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Interest centers in the supplies of
lioliday stock, and as there is a general
shortage in nearly everything the scram-
ble among the retailers is unusually
sharp. Unless there is an unexpected
flow of sunshine the cuts of carnations
and roses will fall far below normal.
Several growers have Maud Dean mums
ready and all the retailers will get a
few. Excepting begonias, there are not
enough pot plants in sight to fill orders.
There are plenty of kentias and proba-
bly enough ferns to go around. Holly,
mistletoe, Oregon grape and fir Christ-
mas trees are offered on street stands
and hawked about in wagons, so the
florists get but a small share of this
business.

Various Notes.
W. I. Spencer, who has greenhouses
near BuUrun, has started a new pipe-
frame house 32xlG0 and expects to get
it ready for an early spring crop of
Bonny Best tomatoes. He intends to
follow this crop with mums. Walter
Thompson planned the new house and
will superintend its construction.

Julius Dossche is reported to have
been seen driving a new Ford runabout.
The Holdeii Floral Co. has several
promising seedling and sport carnations.
An entire bench will bo set next year to
a beautiful pink seedling which has
shown good qualities for three seasons.
S. G. Lnbliner has a good display win-
dow and keeps it well filled with stock.
He says his window display is the thing
that brings him the business.

One carnation grower at Mount Tabor
will not bring his crop in for the holi
days. Everybody is unusually late.

The Oregon State Horticultural So-
ciety held its thirty-first annual meeting
at Hood River last week. Many inter-
esting papers were read and discussed.
Robert Pauliis, of Salem, was elected
president; Dr. C. H. liailey, of Rose
burg, vice-president; C. P. Minton, of
Portland, secretary-treasurer. The next
annual meeting will be held at Salem.

S. W. W.

DELPHINIUMS FROM CUTTINGS.

Will you please tell me if I can house
delphinium plants during the winter
and propagate from cuttings? If so,
what should be the condition of such
cuttings? What temperature is required,
moisture, etc.? How long does it take
the cuttings to root? G. T. — Minn.

Yes, you can house delphiniums in
.l.'uuiarv. Give them a temperature of
48 degrees at night. In propagating,
short cuttings rubbed off with a heel
root the best. A cutting bench with a
Itottom heat of 60 degrees and a top
heat 12 to 15 degrees lower is most suit-
able. Cuttings usually root in four to
six weeks. It is well to state that
jilants from rooted cuttings lack the
\igor of seedlings. Unless you want
some specially fine variety perpetu-
ated, the best plan is to use seedlings.
You can procure from leading seedsmen
many varieties that will come true to
name. If sown in January all seedlings
will flower well the same year and make
strong, salable plants for fall. Even if
sown as late as June, many will flower.

who grow fruit trees.

CLEMATIS SEEDS.

I am enclosing a sample of some clem-
atis seeds that I propose to sow. How
should I cure them and when is the best
time to sow them here in Louisiana?

M. H. W.— La.

The sample of clematis seeds for-
warded with the inquiry seems to re-
quire no special curing, the seeds being
ripe and dry. In the south the sooner
flomatis seeds are planted after ripen-
ing the better. If sown now, it is prob-
able that some of the seeds will germi-
nate in the spring and others during
the summer, the germination of clematis
seeds being somewhat irregular.

Southern Nurserymen's Association, continued
from The Review of December 7, 1010. J

How a Landscaper Works,

As some of you may not know just
liow a landscape architect works, and
might be led to a better understanding
by a short outline of his methods, I
vvill attempt to describe in a concise
way the requirements of the work.
First, after consulting with the owner,
on the ground, he makes a topograph-
ical survey and map of the property
to be improved, showing by this map
the location of existing features, such
as trees, hounding streets, buildings,
liodies of water, etc., and the contour
of ground surface, and such existing
surroiuniing features as may influence
the design.

Based on iiis study of tiic property
and data shown on the map, he then
must locate proposed buildings, consult

with the architect as to the orientation
of the floor plan, fix the entrances, es-
tablish elevations for floors, so that the
building will not only fit the site but
will be approached in the best manner,
so that its arrangement with other
buildings and landscape features will
he to the best advantage, economically
jiiid for the best effect.

Ill definitely locating the buildings
he uses the topographic map for the
jturpose of determining the height of
floors, the problems of approach and
drainage, the establishing of scale be-
tween building, lawn and garden areas,
etc., for it should be known that unless
the different features of the scheme are
in scale with each other the rosnlt will
not be a satisfactory one.

After the Preliminaries,

After a preliminaiy plan of general
arrangement is made, sections are pro-
jected from tiic topographic map show-
ing the confonnation of the natural
ground through each important axis,
and a jiroposed grade is laid on this
profile, tliiis enabling him to definitely
fit the grade of ground surfaces, drive-
ways, walks, lawn and garden areas,
and design drainage systems to fit exist-
ing conditions. This also enables him
to calculate quantities of earth work
ill cubic yards and form an estimate
of the cost of the work.

So }0u will readily see that the work
of the landscape architect has to deal
with other considerations than the mere
arrangement of plantings of mirsery
products.

Increases Use of Plants.

The landscape architect, in the course
of his work, discovers so many differ-
ent uses for trees, shrubs, plants and
vines that he creates a demand for
larger quantities than would be dis-
posed of to provide for the demands of
the usual unadvised consumer. There-

fore, his work is benefieial to the nur-
seryman.

I have no doubt that the sales of
nursery products to retail customers,
as created by the landscape architect,

The Florists' Review

Dbcbmbbr 21. 1916.

have been the means of inducing a
number of nurserymen to greatly in-
crease the production of ornamental
nursery stock within the last few years.
And this line of business will greatly
increase in the years to come, as the
landscape architect is helping to ac-
quaint the general public with the dif-
ferent varieties of trees and shrubs,
and how to use them in good arrange-
ment for the improvement of their
home grounds.

Therefore, it behooves the nursery-
man to get on friendly terms with the
landscape architect and assist him in
his work. On the other hand, the land-
scape architect should be in close touch
with the nurseryman and consult him
as to the varieties that will be best
adapted to local conditions of soil and
climate, and that may be suitable for
his purpose, so that he will have a
known source of supply when he wishes
to obtain planting material for his
work.

The Question of Prices.

■ The matter of allowing the landscape
architect dealers' wholesale prices is
one that has been discussed pro and
con for a number of years, but, so far
as I know, no definite satisfactory ar-
rangement has been worked out.

Personally, I do not think the land-
scape architect should be entitled to
dealers' prices, as he does not depend
on a profit on nursery stock as his re-
muneration for his work. I do think
that he should be able to buy planting
material for his clients at a reduced
rate under usual retail prices by rea-
son of the large quantities of plants
of one variety that he uses and on ac-
count of the usually greater ease with
which his orders can be handled than
those given by the unadvised pur-
chaser.

As most nurserymen of the present
time are willing to supply the wants of
the landscape architect at wholesale
prices, you cannot blame the landscape
architect if he holds out for this con-
cession, but I think it would be better
for all concerned if the prices were in-
creased suflSciently to allow for better
grading and better packing and de-
livery of suitable planting material,
which would tend to create the best
immediate effect after planting and
which would redound to the credit of
the landscape architect and the nursery-
man supplying the material.

Japanese Dwarf Potted Evergreens

Best of all Christinas table decorations

Their attractive appearance, easy culture, hardiness, (is.
tinctive originality and longevity have made these Japanese
Potted Evergreens most popular. They are grown in three
convenient sizes, each containing a good assortment -of va ie-
ties. All are well established in ^dd and fancy Japanese
Glazed Pots which make them most attractive.

The Itlarket.

Along with cold weather came plenty
of funeral work, and this helped to keep
everyone busy. Stock has been plenti-
ful and of good quality. Chrysanthe-
mums are about over, only a few poor
ones remaining in the market. Carna-
tions are fair and in much better sup-
ply than last year. A large quantity of
Christmas greens is reaching the mar-
ket, including good, and also poor, box-
woods. Holly generally is poor this
year.

The florists' windows throughout the
city are filled with baskets of straw-
flowers, statice, boxwoods, immortelles,
etc., which make a pleasing contrast to
the wintry weather that prevails.

The florists were optimistic regarding
Christmas business this year and ex-
pected it to break previous records.

Eli Cross has leased a large store on
Monroe avenue in which to do Christmas
business. He has some exceptionally
fine poinsettias and cyclamens.

This week 's issue contains an obituary
of George Hunter, senior member of the
Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., who died De-
cember 14, at the age of 89.

Miss Mary Hartnett had a pretty
window of Christmas novelties.

Henry Smith has some fine cut poin-
settias, also good large-sized cyclamens.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. con-
servatory is ablaze with crotons, poin-
settias, primroses, pandanus, etc.

Alfred Hannah & Sons report that
their azaleas arrived too late for Christ-
mas flowering. They are well supplied
with other flowering plants. A. F. C.

mas holidays.

iVoticC ' '^^ Subscribers whose address labels carry an

expiration number higher than 995 (Dec. 21, 1916).

Every florist knows through
his own purchases what has
happened in the paper market
the last few months— prices
have doubled all along the line.

And it takes more than four
tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so
kind as to write that The Review
is worth considerably more to
them than its subscription price.
Well, the tremendous rise in the
price of paper makes it no
longer expedient to sell The Re-
view at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, there-
fore, will be advanced January
1, 1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe
for one or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after Jan-
uary 1, 1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per
year, providing that such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from
the present date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from
t^^e present date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50
^less they are mailed by December 31, 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.50 a year beginning January 1, 1917. CauadiaEy
'newals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year. ^

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

A week before Christmas finds the
market short of stock. This is due to a
shortening because of adverse weather
conditions and the holding-back process
of the growers. The shipping business
has been excellent.

Roses are in fair supply, but need
several days of bright weather during
the early part of this week to bring them
to a maximum crop for Christmas. Car-
nations are in excellent supply. Easter
lilies are plentiful; the same is true
of stevias. There is a good cut of
poinsettias, -and Paper White narcissi
are in fair supply. Double violets,
while arriving in excellent quantities,
probably will run short of the Christmas
day demand. Single violets, valley,
orchids, sweet peas and callas are to be
had. Greens are ])lentiful. Boxwoods,
Jhowever, are practically sold out.

Various Notes.

C. E. CritchcU is getting in a fine lot
of lilies from the Hofifmeister Floral Co.,
of Lick Run.

C. J. Ohmer has purchased additional
ground next to his place at West Palm
Beach. Fla., and has planted four acres
of the plot to plumosus, thus giving him
a total of seven aoos planted to
plumosus. E. G. Gillett, who is dis-
tributing Mr. Ohmer 's cut from this
city, reports heavy orders for this green
for Christmas.

William Taylor has a fine lot of poin-
settias for L. H. Kyrk for Christmas.

Among recent visitors were S. T.
Hardesty, of Columbus, O.; Dr. A. C.
Carney, of Hamilton, O.; E. J. Fan-
oourt, representing the S. S. Pennock-
Meehan Co., of Pliiladclphia.

Goodyear Wing foot Lawn Hose is
made in the same factory and under
the same standards of materials and
Worl^manship as Goodyear Tires, the
largest selling brand of tires in the World

This Hose Is Made for Florists

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is saving florists time,
worry and annoyance every day and it is doing it econom-
ically, too, when length of service is considered.

This hose meets every requirement of the florist. It will
not tie up into kinks. It slips easily and smoothly over
rough concrete, cinder w^alks, and around greenhouse bench
posts, without catching or damage.

And it will not burst!

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is so strongly constructed
that the manufacturers are able to guarantee it against burst-
ing at any time within two years.

It is a serviceable, all- the-year- round hose, made to
withstand the workaday use around the greenhouse.

Do not confuse this superior, durable hose with the
ordinary kind that gives but a few months' service.

Goodyear Wingfoot is entirely different from all other
kinds.

Be sure to ask your dealer for Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn
Hose by name. You will find this name on every five-foot
length.

Igreenhonse Heating.

BBICK-SET OR FIRE-BOX?

"Which is the more economical boiler
to use, a bricked-in return tubular or a
fire-box return tubular?

W. W. M.— Colo.

More depends upon the proper ad-
justment of the grate and heating areas
than upon whether a brick-set or fire-box
boiler is used. Ordinarily brick-set
boilers are used for anything above
twenty-five horsepower and we would
have little preference down to fifteen
horsepower, below which we would use
a fire-box boiler.

TEMPERATURE IS IN DOUBT.

I have built a new greenhouse and
should like to have you advise me about
the heating. The house is 20x50 and
the rafters have a 32-degree pitch.
There are two feet of glass in one side
and the gal)le ends are glass. How
much piping will be needed to heat the
house to a temperature of 50 to 60 de-
grees in zero weather? How large a
boiler will be required? R. B. R. — Me.

It will make considerable difference
in the size of the boiler, as well as in
the amount of radiation needed,
whether the plants to be grown in
the house will require 60 degrees in
the coldest nights, or whether it will
be safe to allow the temperature to drop
to 50 degrees in the coldest weather,
maintaining 60 degrees only in average
winter weather.

For the former conditions we would
suggest the use of three 2%-inch flow
pipes and ten 2-inch' returns. If 50 de-
grees will answer in extremely cold
weather, we would use three 2-inch flow
pipes and either eight 2-inch or ten
l^^-inch returns. Two of the flows
should be on the plates and the other
about two feet below the ridge. With
ten returns we would place three on
each wall, or under the side benches.

and the other four under the middle
bench, connecting these four with the
flow pipe overhead. If eight returns
are used, two may be on the wall which
has no glass and the others on the other
side wall and under the middle bench.

In case the house has solid beds, we
would use a 21/2-inch flow upon each
wall, with eleven 2-inch returns for 60
degrees and nine for 50 degrees, in two
coils, placing the odd return on the
side with glass. Run the flow pipes as
well as the returns downliill, and con-
nect the highest point of each flow pipe
with the expansion tank.

For a temperature of 60 degrees we
would use a hot water boiler rated for
600 square feet of radiation, and one
with a rating of 500 square feet for 50
degrees.

TROUBLE WITH A STEAM TRAP.

We have installed a steam trap. The
water inlet and outlet of the trap are
made for IVj-inch pipe connections and
the steam inlet of the trap is a 1^-inch
opening. The inlet and outlet of water
and the inlet of steam have all been
reduced to 1-inch pipe. Is that any
reason why the trap does not work?
The trap is situated on the side of the
boiler, just above the water level in
the boiler. A receiver of the condensa-
tion is placed on the same side of the

These plants, always the keystone of

in ^the potted line, as also cyclamens.
These plants are in excellent condition
and many orders for them were placed
early. As to the artificial line, baskets
artistically arranged with boxwoods,
statice, ruscus, etc., are seen in all the
stores, and, on account of the scarcity
of blooming plants, many of these will
be sold. Eoses will sell from $2 to $10
per dozen, while carnations will aver-
age from $1 to $2.50 per dozen. Nar-
cissi will bring 75 cents per dozen. Vio-
lets are in large demand for the Christ-
mas trade and orders are being booked
at $3 per bunch. Valley is scarce at
present. There will be a few sweet peas
on the market. Palms, ferns, araucarias
and rubbers are being sold in good num-
bers.

Florists were urging the public to
have the purchases delivered December
23 and 24, in order to avert the final
rush Monday.

Various Notes.

The Scottwood Greenhouses had on
display some excellent specimens of Be-
gonia Glory of Cincinnati, as well as
poinsettias, both in pans and cut fiow-
ers. The management boasts of having
the finest collection of made-up baskets
of crotons, ranging in price from $10
to $25 each. Mr. Magee, the genial
manager of this thriving concern, will
not enjoy his Christmas rush this year,
several bad boils necessitating his con-
finement to his home.

A spontaneous combustion last week
in Feniger's Flower Shop, Adams street,
caused considerable damage. The
quickly arriving fire department con-
fined the blaze to the rear of the store.
Luckily, the fire will not interfere with
the Christmas business.

J. L. Schiller, Toledo's primula spe-
cialist, was out driving in his auto the
other day, accompanied by Messrs. Metz
and Helmer. Through some mishap, Mr.
Schiller tried to throw a passing street
car off the track. He did not succeed,
however, and, fortunately, no one was
hurt. The car was not damaged to any
great extent.

Henry Miller's carnation crop hit the
mark squarely. Mr. Miller supplies
about two-thirds of the carnations used
in this city.

The Cushman Gladiolus Farm, of
Sylvania, recently was sold to a local
real estate firm, and the ground will be
platted this spring for suburban resi-
dences. The Cushmans specialized in
gladioli and dahlias, and many of these
flowers were sent by them yearly to all
parts of the state.

Mrs. Ernst Clauser, who is in St.
Vincent's hospital, where she under-
went an operation for appendicitis, is-
not improving so favorably as might bo.

Schramm Bros, have added another
Studebaker car to their delivery equip-
ment. Frank Schramm has always ad-
vocated rapid and prompt deliveries,
and in order to facilitate the delivery
service for the special holidays, such as
Christmas, he decided that another ma-
chine would be the thing.

A big Florists' Club meeting to be
held right after New Year's to work
out ideas for the new year is being ad-
vocated by local florists. Committees
will be appointed to work along differ-
ent lines and to broaden the scodo of
this live-wire organization. The mem-
bers want to place the local club in the
lead with those of other large cities, as
to the work it accomplishes. Interest-

Club Banquet.

December 14 the Lancaster County
Florists' Club held its annual banquet
in Brenneman hall. Heretofore January
has been the month selected for this joy-
ous occasion, but this year December
was chosen, with a view to having a
larger attendance of members, as the
rough and cold weather of January often
kept the members at home. Nothing
was gained this year, however, for the
weather was in the zero class, with a
foot of snow; and many of the smaller
growers stayed by their firesides.
Twenty-five sat down to a fine dinner
served by Caterer Stegeman.

Rudolph Nagel, in behalf of the club,
presented to President Harry A.
Schroyer a token of the club's regard
for the officer's faithful services during
the last year. The Henry F. Michell
Co. medals, awarded at the flower show
in November, were presented to the win-
ners. M. J. Brinton was called upon for
remarks and spoke of the increased
Christmas demand for flowers occasioned
by those who are not regular buyers
throughout the year, but who, if not
overcharged at this time, will become
permanent buyers of florists' wares. B.
F. Barr spoke along the same line.

A short business meeting then was
held, at which the following were nomi-
nated for officers: For president, Harry
A. Schroyer; vice-president, Willis B
Girvin; secretary, Frank L. Kohr; treas-
urer, Harry K. Rohrer. The flower show
account, audited by E. P. Hostetter,
Amos N. Rohrer and Willis B. Girvin
was presented and accepted. The report
showed that after the Armory fund had
been set aside a good balance remained
for the club treasury.

J. De Barry Heinitsh was elected an
amateur member of the club.

At the club's next meeting, .Tanuarv
IS, carnations will be the topic under
discussion. Wo expect to have exhibits
ot the newer varieties, and a paper will
be presented by Elmer J. Weaver, who
IS an authority on the subject and who
has more of the newer varieties under
cultivation than any other grower in the
county.

Ralph Murphy and Rudolph Nagel
wore appointed captains in the bowling
J"ontest. At first duck pins were used
but later the large ones. Those who
won prizes were L. S. Landis. David
Rose Ben. Sterneman and Rudolph
^agol. *

Various Notes.

The carnation cut throughout the
county will be light for Christmas.

Charles M. Weaver and F. P. Hos
tetter will have fine crops of sweet peas
for the Christmas market.

Paper Whites are grown extensively
by M. J. Brinton, E. J. Weaver, W. B.
Girvin, Ira Landis and Enos Kohr, who
report good prices and a generallv satis-
factory market.

The flower stores are wearing gala
holiday attire; they are artistically
decorated with holly, laurel wreathing
and Christmas greens.

Among those who contemplate build-
ing the coming year are H. B. Weaver,
of Bird-in-Hand; B. F. Barr, Enos Le-
fever and E. F. Campbell, of Marietta,
Pa.

Albert M. Herr, in addition to his
other duties, finds time to help to ar-
range for the pure food show and the

Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to use
as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables.

That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer-
tilizers, knowing they always get the very best.

Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than
other brands, because —

They are manufactured solely'from Animal Blood, Animal
Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus
is the make-weight, or filler.

NEWARK, N, J.

The Market.

Newark's flower stores, as usual, have
a festive appearance. Business is good,
but not booming. It is probable that
florists may miss some trade this
Christmas because the holiday falls on
Monday. Christmas eve many persons
usually drop in to get something to take
home for Christmas. As Christmas eve is
on Sunday, it is probable that the Satur-
day night trade will not be so great as if
Christmas day were on Sunday. Some
who do buy probably will order their
purchases delivered, instead of taking
them home personally.

Christmas heather is in the market.
Roses are arriving in quantities suffi-
cient for the demand and are of good
quality. Some nice baby roses are seen.
Carnations are in fair supply. Prim-
roses in bloom are plentiful. Paper
White narcissi arc more prominent.
Chrysanthemums have practically disap-
peared, only a few of the later varieties
arriving now.

Various Notes.

The December number of Strobell's
Magazine, issued by Henry Strobell,
of 931 Broad street, was a most attrac-
tive issue, giving many timely flower
and decorative hints. It was profusely
illustrated.

Fred Wolfinger had an attractive win-
dow last week in which Christmas
heather. Paper White narcissi, poin-
settias and other flowers were arranged
with pleasing effect. R. B. M.

Carter; financial secretary, William
Gray; recording secretary, Frederick P.
Webber; treasurer, Andrew K. Mc-
Mahon; sergeant-at-arms, William F.

conjunction with the officers, who are
members ex-officio, Andrew Meikle,
Bruce Butterton, James Watt, William

The Florists^ Review

Deceubbb 21, 1916.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Newark's flower stores, as usual, have
a festive appearance. Business is good,
but not booming. It is probable that
florists may miss some trade this
Christmas because the holiday falls on
Monday. Christmas eve many persons
usually drop in to get something to take
home for Christmas. As Christmas eve is
on Sunday, it is probable that the Satur-
day night trade will not be so great as if
Christmas day were on Sunday. Some
who do buy probably will order their
purchases delivered, instead of taking
them home personally.

Christmas heather is in the market.
Eoses are arriving in quantities suflS-
cient for the demand and are of good
quality. Some nice baby roses are seen.
Carnations are in fair supply. Prim-
roses in bloom are plentiful. Paper
White narcissi are more prominent.
Chrysanthemums have practically disap-
peared, only a few of the later varieties
arriving now.

Various Notes.

The December number of Strobell's
Magazine, issued by Henry Strobell,
of 931 Broad street, was a most attrac-
tive issue, giving many timely flower
and decorative hints. It was profusely
illustrated.

Fred Wolfinger had an attractive win-
dow last week in which Christmas
heather. Paper White narcissi, poin-
settias and other flowers were arranged
with pleasing effect. E. B. M.

NEWPORT, R. I.

The annual meeting of the Newport
Horticultural Society last week was one
of the most interesting and enthusiastic
ever held. During the meeting the pro-
posed schedule for the flower show to be
held in June in conjunction with the
Newport Garden Association was
adopted. The financial reports were
satisfactory, as were the annual reports
of the ofiicers and committees.

The election of ofiicers resulted in the
following choice: President, John B.
Urquhart; first vice-president, James
Bond; second vice-president, Frederick
Carter; financial secretary, William
Gray ; recording secretary, Frederick P.
Webber; treasurer, Andrew K. Mc-
Mahon; sergeant-at-arms, William F.
Smith; executive committoo, to act in
conjunction with the ofiicers, who are
members ex-ofiicio, Andrew Mcikle,
liruco Butterton, .lames Watt, William
MacKay, Arthur W. Potter, Jr., Alex-
ander MacLellan, .lames Kol)ertson and

Greenhouse White

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems;
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

The value of a pure white, light-reflecting sur-
face, which will diffuse and re-use every ray of
light, cannot be over-estimated.

Greenhouse White will stay white — therefore,
it is the paint to use.

Prices on application to

c?

Remember,

all ordinary paint will not do.
The conditions are extreme— not
to say remarkable, and it takes
a paint complying with certain
technical requirements to give
satisfaction. You will find
Greenhouse White to be the
paint.

USINGER'S UTTERANCES.

Charles E. Nelson, of Wollsville, 0.,
is an active member of tlio Chamber
of Commerce, which has a motto, "Wel-
fare of Wellsville." Mr. Nelson is do-
ing his share by makinjr attractive dis-
plays of flowers and by showing that
flowers ])lay an active part in the wel-
fare of any community.

Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., still
has his perpetual smile, and with a con-
tinuance of good business the well
known smile is not likely to come off.

W. Grant Kintigh, of Irwin, Pa., said
he was looking forward to a most suc-
cessful holiday trade.

W. W. Bortz, of Greensburg, Pa., had
a display of attractive baskets filled
witli artificial flowers, and these seemed
to meet with a ready sale.

T. Malbranc, of Johnstown, Pa., had
a showing of jioinsettias of more than
usual merit.

The shortage of cars made it neces-
sary for Myer Bros., of Altoona, Pa.,
to ])urcliase a motor truck to liaul coal
fi'om the mine to tlieir greenliouses.

W. H. Brouse, of Tyrone, I'a., has sold
his greenliouses to Prank Luce, of Bell-
wood, Pa. The houses are being torn
down and moved to the Luce ])lace.

Adol{)h Engehnan, of Tyrone, re-
ports a most successful season, with
a large, well paving crop of mums.

Tlie regular meeting of the Sewickley

Boxel presiding. The secretary reported
attending a meeting of the Ladies' Gar-
den Club committee and gave an ac-
count of some new classes added to the
schedule for the big June flower show.
M. Curran resigned his office of secre-
tary.

The new ofl^ce-bearers for 1917 were
elected as follows: President, John
Barnet; vice-president, A. E. Bonsey;
treasurer, William Thomson, ,Tr. ; secre-
tary, .Tohn Gorman; executive commit-
tee, Alexander Davidson, "William Thom-
son, Sr., Cliarles Patton, R. Boxel and
William Gillies.

John Barnet and A. E. Bonsey gave
an interesting account of their trip to
the convention at Washington, D. C,
stating that the hospitality and arrange-
ments were all that could be desired, and
also that there were prospects of the
1918 convention coming to Pittsburgh.

The secretary gave his annual report,
showing our young society to be in a
flourishing condition. Probably on ac-
count of the winter weather, the exhib-
its were few and it is to be hoped the

Except funeral work, there is com-
paratively little activity in flowers,
aside from anything red. All the stores
report- exceptionally heavy demands for
Ohristmas greens and reds, and already
orders for later deliveries are stacked
high on the hooks. Azaleas, poinsettias,
begonias, Jerusalem cherries, ardisias
and other plants are arriving in large
quantities and command ready sale at
satisfactory prices.

a large number of pieces for the funeral
of William Haven.

Drabble Bros, are conducting a branch

Charles Smith, the Florist, reports an
unusually heavy run on Christmas
greens of all kinds.

Thomas Curley has been bringing in
some extra fine poinsettias, both cut and
in pots.

Johnston Bros, have been busy with

Their Christmas business has exceeded
that of any previous year.

nothing for you or your clerks to do but to make
change. Prices are printed on the back for use
in case you do not want them to appear under
the shears.

This brand-new Pexto Display Board is made
of metal and finished in four colors. Size 19x27
inches. Will stand or hang.

HAPPY GREENHOUSE FACT!

''With CYPRESS You Build but Once"

"With any other material you're 'billed' perpetually"

You save many times over (by avoiding repairs and replacements) what slight premium you pay a high-
class contractor for using C3rpress at first. It is worth good money to you if you will but profit by the fol-
lowing suggestions:
DON'T buy sash or other woodwork that is painted. Paint covers sap, checks and a multitude of other wood

sins. Insist on seeing the raw wood.
DON'T buy excessively kiln-dried wood — air-dried is immeasurably better. Greenhouse lumber that has

to travel 3,000 miles may be excused if it is kiln -dried to death to save freight over the mountains,

but that excuse doesn't make it any better for you.
DON'T forget that you are wasting valuable time whenever you stop and listen to a whimwham about some

"substitute" wood for heart Cypress. There can't be any substitute until nature invents a new

species of wood. (Nothing to it but PECKY Cypress for Benches.)
DON'T fuss at the building contractor if he insists on putting a smooth surface on your work — it is to

your advantage. Cypress takes that smooth surface. And takes paint perfectly if you want it to.

Yet lasts generations -without any paint.

DON'T laugh at the statement that Cypress sash has been in uninterrupted use in a greenhouse for 45
years. It can be proved. Can a "substitute" wood equal the record? Isn't that a money-saver 1

JUST FIGUBE your construction costs by the year and you'd pay twice the slight additional price of
"The Wood Eternal" over the short-lived woods.

Pocket Library. Vol; 3, "The Greenhouse Wood"; Vol. 16, "Cypress for Porches"; Vol. 30, "Cypress

What WiU You Do?

—read your only course of action in these letters!

On November 24th we sent the following
companies in the country : —

letter to all the steel

"Gexti.emkn:— We require the following list of steel the latter part of 1917 and
would like to know what part of this list you could accept for mill shipment, and ap-
proximately when you can make delivery (standard sizes totaling ,')00 tons).

"We are willing to take the steel whenever it is rolled by the mill. If you will
kindly name us price as soon as possible we will appreciate it, as we want to place
order at once."

Here are sample answers:

"American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.

Chicago. 111. Nov. 27, 1916.

Gkntf.kmkn:— Your inquiry of the '24th inst.. addressed to our North Works, has
been referred to us. and in reply regret to say we are unable to submit quotation on
the tonnage involved, inasmuch as we could not offer shipment during any time next
year. Thanking you for the inquiry, we are

Yours very truly,

(Signed) Steel Co."

"American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.

Chicago, 111. Nov. 25, 191(1.

Gexti.kmkn:— Answering your inquiry of November 24th, we regret to advise that
we have no material to offer for 1917 per list given us. Tlianking you, however, we
remaia. Yours very truly,

(Signed) Steel Co."

These letters may be seen at our otlice.
Every firm using sleel is up against this.

Just what does this mean to you?

/7

It means that tlie steel to build your greenhouse during the latter part of 1917 will
have to be purchased from the warehouses after our present supply on hand is ex-
hausted. The difference between the cost of steel direct from the mills and from the
warehouse is approximately $15.00 a ton. This means that a greenhouse 60x500 feet,
the erection of which requires 10 tons of steel, will cost you, next year, $(300.00 more
for steel alonel

To sell at a good profit is only one side of a successful business. In fact, much of
the success of large busmess is due to some keen, alert business man's buying at the
right turn of the market. This is the right turn.

What are YOU going to do?

Built by us for Mr. A. H. Schneider, at Oak Parle, 111.

What would it be worth to you to have a range of houses full of cyclamens like these?

It takes an expeit grower to produce stock of this quality, but Mr. Erickson (Mr. Schneider's foreman) says
that it would not be possible without good greenhouses.

Mr. Schneider let us build these greenhouses for him exactly as we recommended. To say that he is satisfied
is putting it mildly.

Let us figure with you now. Our estimates, sketches and advice are free.

The Florists^ Review

DaCBMBSB 28, 1916

A Greenhouse Construction
of Everlasting Lastingness

First Cost

'S not what a thing actually costs at the start that

is its real cost. It is what it costs at the start,

combined with what it continues to cost you. That's

the only safe and sound way to figure comparative costs

of our house of Everlasting Lastingness with any other

construction.

What a house continues to cost you, is of two kinds.

1. The continued cost of repairs.

2. The continued cost of the cost of less stock pro-
duced, and poorer quality of stock grown. A cost loss in
both quantity and quality.

To consider only the first cost and ignore the continued
cost, is only figuring half way.

Erection Cost

The erection cost of our Iron Frame house is less than
for the Semi-iron, so what you save in cost of materials
on one you come close to making up on erection saving on
the other.

The fact that so much of our Iron Frame is assembled
and hot-riveted or bolted together at our factories gives a
decided erection speed advantage over othericonstructions
of similar type.

Protection

It makes absolutely no difference what type of con-
struction you put up, the cost of the benches, ventilating
apparatus, heating system, glass, putty, paint stock, the
glazing and the painting will cost exactly the same in one
house as the other.

These things are fixed costs.

This being so, it is only the logical thing to spend a
few dollars more and get a frame of Everlasting Lasting-
ness, that will protect these fixed costs and make their
expenditure a permanent investment.

That is exactly what the Lord & Burnham Iron Frame
construction does.

Productiveness

The telling test of a house is not^its productiveness as
a plant house, but its yield in roses. That's the actual
final test. A house, then, that will produce the greatest
quantity and highest quality of roses can be made to pro-
duce practically anything.

A prominent grower, who has a
half-dozen or so of our wide Iron-
framers, says: "If you want to
get top-notch prices, build top-
notch houses, that will grow top-
notch stock. Some houses may
produce top-notch some of the
time. What the grower wants is
a house that will do it most of
the time."

The fact that 75'^'c of the prize
winnings in the big shows are
won with slock grown in our
houses tells its own story of their
superior productiveness.

Columns]|

We can build you an Iron Frame house as wide as 78
feet, and use only two columns. This we accomplish
without any elaborately involved system of truss- stiffen-
ing of the frame.

For those, however, who prefer more columns we will
gladly use them. But our houses up to 78 feet are abun-
dantly strong with but two. For a time we extensively
used double angle iron columns, but the pipe column is
now a part of our standard construction. It is easy to
keep painted, and in most cases is sufficiently strong.

Rigidity

Loosening of glass tells of lack of rigidity. The"^fact
that our houses "stay tight" year after year tells its
own story of right glazing methods and entire frame
rigidity.

Wide Rafter Spacing

Some time before anyone else had even started to
work out a construction with wide rafter spacing, we had
erected two big houses, using a spacing of eight sixteen-
inch lights of glass between rafters, instead of six. It
was a decided success— so much so that we have erected
for the same company eight other additional houses.!

Not until two years after this radical improvement
did we advertise the fact of a wide-spaced construction.
In those two years we were systematically making close
observations, based on which we worked out a construc-
tion that went still a step farther. The present nine-
light spacing, or 12 feet 6 inches between rafters, is the
result.

It greatly reduces the number of rafters and columns
over the old six-light spacing, making one of the lightest,
prettiest houses you ever set foot in.

It's the model construction of today.

Aster, S.& W.Co.'s Late Branching

^Ve cannot emphasize too strongly
the merits of our strain of this grand
Aster. It is much superior to Sem-
ple'.s Branching in vigor, size and pro-
fuse l>looming qualities. Excellent for
late rutting.

Pink Enchantress

PINK ENCHANTRESS

I'pright in habit, as distinguished from the Branching form. The
pant is very vigorous, and produces long, strong stems for the support
of numerous large exhibition blooms. The flower is always full
double; petals are of medium length and very broad; those toward
the center fold in very regularly, while gradually, toward the outer
edge, the petals stand out more and more until those on the outsido
recede from the center, thus increasing the diameter of the flower,
which compares very favorably in size with the largest-flowering
kinds on our farm. Color similar to that of the Knrhantress carna-
tion; flowers late. Pkt., 15c; ',8 oz., 50c; Vi oz., .$1.00; oz., $3.00.

MAGNOLIA FACTS

QYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions.

QDye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

in prices since the war began,
as have also the paper cartons.
In spite of this, we are in posi-
tion to furnish you with first-
class Magnolia Leaves through
your wholesaler at a small ad-
vance in comparison with the
above.

CWe guarantee that the quality of our
leaves is as good now as they were before
the war, and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

<LYou fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

CA magnolia leaf Is only worth uslns If
ft liaa been fully preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when you consider the poor value of these goods.

The Fbrists* Review

Hamburg Late White Chrysanthemum

This picture was taken Novem-
ber 26, 1916, and will give a good
idea of what Hamburg Late
White looks like when grown
to single stems and planted six
inches each way.

Hamburg Late White is

pure white under all weather
conditions, and is a sport of
White Maud Dean, but has no
trace of pink as has the original.

iThe average grower of Chrysan-
themums must have varieties which
are easy to handle, and from which
he can cut as near 100% of perfect
blooms as possible. Hamburd Late
White has been grown for the last
four years, and produces a very high
proportion of good flowers. It is not
an exhibition variety, but for late
white, one of the best for com-
mercial purposes. It can be had in
bloom the latter part of November,
by taking an early bud; but by se-
lecting later buds, most of the flow-
ers are cut during December, and we
would advise a selection of late buds,
as the later buds come somewhat
fuller, and by selecting late buds,
flowers can be had as late as the
middle of January.

Keeping Qualities are excellent, and where a light, graceful white flower is wanted, Hamburg Late White cannot be surpassed.

Hamburg Late White will be disseminated in the spring of 1917. Plants will be ready March 1, 1»17. and all orders will be filled
in rotation.

CHRISTMAS TRADE ^

MAKES NEW RECORD

The Christmas trade reports are umisually similar this year — it was
a big Christmas, the largest ever, and it was profitable to the individual
in proportion to the way certain unusual and unfavorable conditions af-
fected or failed to affect the busines s of that individual.

/--

T^=^^^t| AKING it by and large,
this year 's Christmas busi-
ness went ahead of that of
the best previous Christ-
II ^ mas just in proportion to
l^*^i^ the individual's capacity
L'-N^ for meeting the conditions
p^ ff^ — there was no limit to the
Bi^^s:^^ demand, but the business
was seriously limited by
the fact that the rush was of short dura-
tion. The early days of the week were
uncommonly wintry over almost the en-
tire United States, but the temperature
moderated as the week drew to a close
and, where the weather had operated
to check early buying, at the finish it
was a favorable factor in a
most unholy rush.

It is worth while noting
that the same conditions
])revailed in almost all parts
of the country — weather
conditions were similar; de-
mand was uniformly the
strongest ever known; the
business had to be done in a
few short selling hours,
practically all in the last
three days and as much De-
cember 23 as all the rest of
the week; plants were a
less conspicuous feature
than in recent years, for the
reason that the supply was
not 80 large as usual and re-
tailers, failing to obtain as
many as wanted, were
forced to fall back on cut
flowers; the supply of cut
flowers, checked to an
alarming degree by the se-
vere weather of the pre-
vious week, almost every-
where proved larger than
•'xpected.

Different Qroups.

Of course there were ex-
'•eptions, but they are not
sufficiently numerous to
'nore than prove the rule —
this was a Christmas of
-trikingly uniform c o n d i-
■'ions over the whole coun-
ty.

The flower business has
"■o broadened in the last
few years that it has di-
vided into groups, the inter-
<^sts and experience of each
S:roup somewhat different
from the others.

Most numerous of these,

and probably representing the greater
part of the business done at the holiday,
is the group composed of those who
operate greenhouses and retail there-
from. In most cases these men are lo-
cated in small towns, or at least in the
residence or suburban districts of
larger ones. Earely do such places ex-
;?perience a rush that is beyond their
ability to wait on trade, but in the ag-
gregate they dispose of an enormous
quantity of stock and form the real
backbone of the trade. They never
cleaned up closer than they did this
Christmas.

These retail growers buy little stock
in wholesale markets — with rare ex-

ceptions they sell at prices that limit
their activities to the stock matured iit
their own greenhouses, but this year,,
prompted perhaps by the general infla-
tion of commodity prices, they appear
to have asked somewhat better money
than heretofore and to have had no-
diflBculty in getting what they asked.

With the Retailers.

The second largest group in the trade
is composed of those who conduct retail
stores. Their number has increased im-
mensely in the last two or three years.
Just by way of statistics, there now are
228 cities of 25,000 population in the
United States and it is believed there is
not one of these without
one or more downtown re-
tail flower stores. It is esti-
mated that in the fifty cities
of 160,000 and up there is
one retail flower store for
each 5,000 inhabitants — it
still is far less than the
number of saloons in the
wet towns, but the flower
stores are making steady
progress and are merchan-
dising great quantities of"
stock.

Some of the retail flower
stores have greenhouse con-
nections, but the greater
number draw their stock
exclusively from wholesale
growers or commission
houses. As a rule they sell
at better prices than, do the-
men who retail in the pack-
ing shed, but their best
holiday is not necessarily
one that is best for the-
growers. This Christmas
they 'lad to pay rather
more than usual for their
stock, both plants and cut
flowers. Those who did not
raise their retail prices
therefore did business on a
narrower margin than here-
tofore at Christmas. But
demand was strong enough
so that price was not a bar
— the limits were imposed
by the size of the store, the
supply of stock and the
question of help.

It is apparent that many
retailers would have been
better satisfied if stock had
been a little more plentiful,,
and quite a few had some-
thing worth while left un-

sold — they siniplj' were unable to han-
dle so much business in so short a time.

Wholesalers.

For the growers for the wholesale
markets, who constitute the third larg-
est group in the trade, this was the ban-
ner Christmas. There are instances, of
course, where a grower, or a group of
growers, did not have enough plants
ready or did not cut enough flowers to
profit by the splendid demand. As a
rule, however, each grower received a
larger sum of money this Christmas than
ever before. It is not that top prices
were higher, for they were not; it was
because the demand was so broad it re-
sulted in better average prices. The
principal exceptions were white carna-
tions. Paper White narcissi and white
roses, of importance in the order named.

Taking the principal lines of Christ-
mas stock in the order of their impor-
tance, cut flowers were not in oversup-
ply at any of the shipping centers, but
in most cases the shortage, if any, was
less severe than had been expected. The
demand, as usual, was strongest for red
and lightest for white; while more red
and deep pink flowers could have been
sold, had these been in larger supply the
white flowers would have fared worse.
Of the newer varieties, Russell and
Hadley were in special demand. There
are numerous reports of delayed trains
that brought stock to wholesalers after
the demand was over, and of serious de-
lays in the delivery of shipments to re-
tailers, the adjustment of which will cut
down the profits.

Plants Least Abundant.

In comparison to the demand, the
supply of plants was far short. There
are growers who had as many plants as
ever, and for them it was a wonderful
Qhristmas, but the lateness and loss of
azaleas left a big hole and cyclamens
and poinsettias were less numerous than
usual. It made an extra call for ferns,
palms, araucarias, etc., and it helped the
cut flower trade immensely, for many

stores that usually push plants were
compelled to give cut flowers at least an
equal show this time.

Greens also were scarce, but there was
no lack of accessories. Many retail
flower stores now sell great quantities
of related merchandise, principally
baskets, vases, flower bowls and novel-
ties appropriate to the environment.
On these there was no shortage and the
sales broke all records.

Monday for Christmas.

The trade is almost unanimously in
favor of having Christmas on Monday
every year if it can be arranged. In-
stead of having to plunge into putting up
orders and delivery the moment the door
closed on the late customers, it was pos-
sible for the busiest to close up Satur-
day night, get some much needed sleep
and tackle the orders and deliveries
Sunday morning with two comparatively
quiet days for the task. It was a great
advantage.

TIME TO SOW PBIMUI.AS.

When is the proper time to start prim-
roses from seed for next year's fall and
winter trade? W. V. R. — ^Minn.

Primula Sinensis and P. obconica for
fall and winter flowering should be
sown not later than February 15. For
blooming in February and March, sow-
ing may be made as late as May, but
for early flowers you must sow early.
P. malacoides now is quite popular. It
is a rapid grower and its seeds need not
be sown before July 1. C. W.

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

BOUCHER'S IDEAL CLERK.

Speaking on "The Marketing Prob-
lems and Methods of Retail Florists" at
the December 11 meeting of the Roches-
ter Florists' Association, George T.
Boucher declared that increased com-
petition was making the retailing of
flowers so difficult that only by strict
application of modern business methods
could the florists succeed.

One of the difficult problems that the
florist faced was the lack of persons com-
petent to sell flowers, said the speaker,
since the successful flower store clerk
needed more than any other store sales-
man to be "up to his job."

The desirable and successful clerk is
the one, said Mr. Boucher, who likes the
work of selling flowers, is neatly
dressed, is courteous and always in con-
trol of himself, even in the face of rude-
ness; is willing to learn and to receive
suggestions, and is enthusiastic.

"Enthusiasm in a clerk may be ac-
quired, and it makes a clerk really an
asset to his employer," Mr. Boucher
went on. "Enthusiasm vitalizes the
clerk 's selling abilities, makes him forci-
ble, optimistic, creates a bond of sym-
pathy between buyer and clerk, and
changes apathy into interest. Real en-
thusiasm, tempered so that it won't
carry the clerk beyond the customer's

own viewpoint, is one of the big qual-
ities of the really successful clerk."

A LETTER FROM A LADY.

Among professional advertising men
there is a belief that an advertisement
should be frankly an advertisement and
not masquerade as something else, but
in working up the Christmas trade a
New York firm used a unique letter writ-
ten to its retail customers in the neat
longhand of the young lady of the office.
It was on plain stationery of the kind
used by ladies and each missive was de-
livered by messenger. It read as fol-
lows:

37 West 28th St.,
Ne-w York, Dec. 11, '16.

Dear Friend; — I am a little fairy; I live among
the flowers and I carry flowers and happiness
with me wherever I go. I love to make people
happy, don't you? I will tell you how to do it.

I know six of your dear friends of whom you
are very fond and you often wonder how you
could convey a kind thought to them in a
pretty way. Now, what is prettier than a
dainty basket of flowers or an elaborate hamper
of plants? Surely, these are at all times wel-
come and appropriate gifts — and Christmas is
so near!

How would you like to see a hundred darling
floral arrangements and thousands of handsome
flowering plants all at one time and in one
grand wilderness? You can, if you come with
me just before Christmas to my Fairyland of
flowers. It is not far, only 37 West Twenty-
eighth street, in the flower land of Woodrow &
Markotos. You will come, won't you?

Fayrle.

P. S. Why, in your own library there is an

empty corner that is waiting to be cheered up
with a plant or two.

Each missive was accompanied by
three violets and a spray of asparagus
pinned on the envelope.

The results are said to have been ex-
cellent.

PALETTE GOOD DISPLAY UNIT.

An artist's palette, three and one-
half feet at the longest part, is the
feature of an attractive window dis-
play at the store of Z. D. Blackistone,
Washington, D. C. This palette, which
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion, is covered with dark green velvet,
and on it flowers are placed, somewhat
after the fashion of daubs of paint.
Each day the design on the palette is
changed. One day the window-dresser
will put on a corsage or two, each one,
of course, being different. The next
day it may be a colonial bouquet. This
is followed up with loose flowers, ar-
tistically arranged, and shower bou-
quets and other designs.

The so-called palette is displayed on
an easel made of white-enameled por-
tiere rods, obtainable at any furniture
store. These are touched up a bit with
gilt, thus adding to the attractiveness
of the stand and killing the dead white.
The palette and easel form a full win-

dow display in themselves, nothing ad-
ditional being needed to fill in.

In speaking of the display, Mr. Blaek-
istone said: "We have found this one
of the best things for exhibition in the
window, as it is a display in itself.
Put a corsage bouquet in the window
and it hardly would be seen, but when
it is placed on the palette everybody
stops to look at it. The result has been
that perhaps a week or ten days after
some particular design has appeared, a
passer-by will come into the store and
ask us to make up a piece 'similar to
that displayed in the window the other

day, made up of .' It gives the

people ideas, for a display of this type is
apt to remain for some time in one's
mind, making, as it does, a strong im-
pression, and we find that it is creating
a demand for make-up work that here-
tofore did not come to us. It enables
us to sell a much better grade of stock
— the price of the individual articles
being much larger than would otherwise
be the case. The whole thing is simple
to make and does not require the use
of so many flowers as other displays."

BEDS OB BENCHES.

I would like to get some information
on greenhouse benches. Which is better
for commercial use for roses and carna-
tions, raised or solid benches! Is there
any difference in time of producing a
crop! Would the difference of produc-
tion on raised benches offset the cost of
building themf R. H.— Kan.

In the Atlantic coast states the most
expert rose growers use ground beds,
■JUt in the middle west roses are grown
on raised benches exclusively. Few
growers anywhere now use ground beds
for carnations. The evidence is that the
stock is easier to handle on raised
benches and that results for the average
^an will be enough better to more than

repay the cost of building and maintain-
ing the tables. F. R.

TO EXTERMINATE MOLES.

We are growing sweet peas in solid
beds and moles are making a tunnel
under each row. We have tried corn
soaked in arsenic and Paris green with
meal, but with no effect. Will carbon
bisulphide kill the peas? What can we
do to get rid of the moles? They also
are in our violets. F. W. & C. — Ind.

One remedy is to mix arsenic with
bran, punch a hole with a broomstick
through the runs, then pour a little
poisoned bran in the hole. Moles are
particularly fond of bran. Pieces of fat
meat rolled in arsenic, the size of the
end of one 's small finger, dropped down
the holes also prove effective. Another
plan of proven success is to open one or
two places in the runs ten to twelve
inches long, sprinkle these well with

powdered lye, lay a narrow board so
that it will fit down just below the sur-
face of the ground and cover with soil.
The place should then be avoided for
some hours. Moles have a keen sense of
smell, but lye is odorless, so they walk
into it. As the lye sticks to their feet,
they naturally lick it off and are killed.
Leave ample room between the board
and bottom of the run.

Carbon bisulphide will suffocate moles,
woodchucks, rabbits and other pests if
it is placed in runs where they are and
if the exits are closed at once. An old
sponge or some cotton waste soaked
with the carbon should be pushed well
into the run with a stick. There are
some good mole traps on the market, of
which I have found the Eeddick the
most effective. C. W.

Paxton, 111.— Addems, Morgan & Co.
say they had by far the best Christmas
trade they ever enjoyed.

MISBBANDINQ BILL CHANGED?

To Protect This Trade.

The Committee on Interstate and For-
eign Commerce of the House of Repre-
sentatives, it is expected, immediately
following the reconvening of Congress
at the conclusion of the Christmas re-
cess, will take action upon the proposal
of Representative Barkley, of Ken-
tucky, to amend his so-called misbrand-
ing bill so as to exempt seeds, green-
house and hardy herbaceous plants and
nursery stock from its provisions.

The Barkley bill, which, as previously
noted in the columns of The Review,
was favorably reported in the House of
Representatives by the commerce com-
mittee, seeks to prohibit the manufac-
ture, sale, or transportation in interstate
commerce of misbranded articles and
provides a fine of not exceeding $500
for the first offense and a fine of $1,000,
imprisonment for not more than one
year, or both the fine and imprisonment,
for the second and all succeeding
offenses, for violations of the proposed
law.

Indistinguishable Varieties.

Members of the florist, seed and nurs-
ery trades, realizing the impossibility
of strict compliance with the provisions
of this law, have petitioned Congress
to act slowly in the matter and to con-
sider the appropriateness of an amend-
ment to the bill as it now reads so as
to exempt these commodities. It was
pointed out that the similar appearance
of many different kinds of seeds, green-
house and hardy herbaceous plants and
seedling trees would prevent anyone
from saying with absolute certainty
what varieties they are. Under such
circumstances, it is contended, if such
merchandise be improperly labeled and
so shipped in interstate commerce the
violation of the law presumably would
be entirely unintentional.

Unreasonable and Unfair.

As the measure now reads, florists,
seedsmen and nurserymen declare, if
enacted into law, it will work a great
hardship upon the trade. It is per-
fectly satisfactory to the trade so far
as its provisions apply to intentional

mislabeling or the improper labeling
of distinguishable articles. But when
it comes to its application to seeds,
plants, nursery stock of certain kinds,
and other commodities of a nature which
would make identification impossible
until some time after sal., the law
would bo both unreasonable and unfair
to this trade.

The Proposed Amendment.

A number of florists, seedsmen and
nurserymen have conferred with Mr.
Barkley, who is the author of the bill,
and he has agreed to present an amend-
ment to the House Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce early in
January, which will read substantially
as follows: "That seeds, plants, roots,
bulbs or nursery stock indistinguishable
by their appearance, and unintentionally
mislabeled because of such indistinguish-
ability, shall not be deemed misbranded
within the meaning of this Act. ' '

In an interview with the Washington
correspondent of The Review, Mr. Bark-
ley stated that it was not his desire
to work a hardship on any interests
and he had gladly assented to the de-
sires of those interested in this par-
ticular subject, the merits of their con-
tentions being apparent. He has sent
the amendment proposed by him to the
Department of Agriculture with a re-
quest for an expression of opinion from
its officials. C. L. L.

MUMS COME BLIND.

I grew about 2,000 pompons outdoors
last summer and benched them about
October 1, when some of the early va-
rieties were showing buds. The plants
took root nicely and progressed satis-
factorily, but about three-quarters of
them came blind and some had mildew.
Can you give me any reason why the
pompons came blind; also, why my Bon-
naffon and White Bonnaffon mums de-
veloped the same condition? Would you
advise me to save stock from these plants,
or discard them and purchase new ones?
The pompons I grow sell well in this
market, but I do not know the varieties.
Please give the names of six or eight
double varieties, covering white, pink,
yellow and bronze. The singles do not
sell well. W. S. J.— N. J.

I am unable to say what caused your
plants to come blind. A certain propor-
tion of them always will fail when they
are lifted as late as October, but I never
before heard of so many as three-fourths
of a batch coming blind. Possibly you
planted them so closely that they did
not get light and air enough to finish
their growth properly. As to this, you
are the best judge. When plants hav^
been stung by the chinch bug late in

the season they not infrequently will
come blind. This may be responsible
for the trouble with the pompons and
the Bonnaffons.

Mildew will appear if the plants are
indiscriminately aired, or watered too
late in the afternoon, so that they stand
wet all night. It would be well, if it is
possible to do so, to weed out the plants
that run blind, since it is a well known
principle that "like begets like." If
you continue to propagate from your
blind stock of Bonnaffons every year,
it is a logical assumption that the quan-
tity of blind shoots will increase rather
than decrease, though cuttings taken
from plants that flower satisfactorily
should prove all right.

A selection of good market varieties
in the pompon section would be about
as follows: White, White Doty, Queen
of the Whites and Myers' Perfection;
pink, Lillian Doty, Donald and Western
Beauty; yellow. Golden Climax, Quinola
and Zenobia; bronze, Inez.

Chas. H. Totty.

INCURVED COMMERCIAL MUMS.

Please give a list of mums that are
most suitable for commercial use and
not too difficiilt of culture. I prefer
incurved varieties. Mention two or

three of each of the colors, white, pink
and yellow. This season I have grown
Major Bonnaffon, Chieftain, Pacific
Supreme, Glory of Pacific and Seidewitz.
I did not like Glory of Pacific, but Bon-
naffon, Chieftain and Seidewitz did' well.
As a rule, I want easy growers and of
course I want good flowers, but I do not
want fancy varieties. It is not neces-
sary that all of them shall be incurved,
but the incurved sorts seem to be the
best. E. B.— Pa.

As a selection of three incurved, good
commercial varieties in each of the three
colors mentioned, aside from those that
E. B. already is growing, I would sug-
gest the following:

In white, Alice Day, White Chief-
tain and Wm, Turner are good. To these
could be added with profit, perhaps, the
variety Alice Salomon, Alice Day has
proved itself to be one of the best
second-early whites in cultivation.
White Chieftain also made a name for
itself this year and Wm. Turner is so
well known that it would only take up
time and space to discuss it further.

In pink, I would suggest Unaka,
Nerissa and Patty. Unaka has merit
in being the earliest good pink we have.
Nerissa is an excellent, long-keeping.

Ddcember 28, 1916.

midseason sort and Patty is a good late
one.

In yellow, my selection would be
Chrysolora, Marigold and Yellow Turner.
There has been some argument about
Chrysolora not keeping well this fall.
I think in many cases it was the grow-
er 's fault, in not soaking it well enough
before shipping. Marigold is not so easy
n doer as Chrysolora, but when it makes
a flower such as it did with us this
year, it is marvelous and a variety that
must be considered. Yellow Turner is
a, shade pale in color, but that did not
prevent its bringing a splendid price this
year. Yellow Chadwick also is grown
as a late commercial variety with good
success, and could be recommended if
E. B. has call for varieties coming later
than Yellow Turner. Chas. H. Totty.

BLACK FLY ON MUMS.

This season I have been troubled a
great deal with black aphis on my
chrysanthemums. I used No. 40 Black
Leaf and burned some of my Seidewitz
plants, which seemed to be easily in-
jured. Can they be sprayed with this
preparation when in bud or flower? I
am anxious to discover the best way of
ridding the mums of this pest.

E. B.— Pa.

We have for years been convinced that
the best means of exterminating black
aphis is fumigation with tobacco dust,
burned in the house. A little experi-
menting by E. B. will show him the
right quantity to use. We are never
troubled with burning of the foliage,
as is so often the case when the nicotine
solutions are used for spraying. It is
occasionally necessary to spray with
nicotine solutions when red spider is
present and is injuring the flowers, but
aside from that I would always suggest
fumigating with tobacco dust in pref-
erence to any other method of cleaning
out the black fly. Chas. H. Totty.

EVOLUTION OF FLOEISTS' MUMS.

In referring to the modern develop-
ment of the florists' favorite type of
chrysanthemums — development from
the tiny wild flowers to the big Wil-
liam Turners — "evolution" is a suffi-
ciently applicable word, is it nott Of
course, the hand of man has aided
greatly in the development of the flow-
ers, and the process of evolution has
therefore been much swifter than in
cases where Nature has been allowed to
do the work withoujt any human inter-
vention. Nature and man together have
done for the chrysanthemum in a few
decades what Nature alone might not
have done in centuries or ages. Never-
theless, the improvement of the flowers
has been a genuine process of evolving
or unfolding — unfolding the latent pos-
sibilities that resided in the wild plants.
The speed of evolution, and of any
other good undertaking, is always ac-
celerated when man learns to cooperate
with the forces of Nature, instead of
opposing them.

In the florists' business especially, if
■we antagonize Nature, she will run her
steam roller straight over us. If we
approach her in a friendly and appre-
ciative manner, she will invite us to
climb up and ride on the roller with
her.

As to that fundamental principle of
evolution, the survival of the fittest,
the big William Turner mums in the
front part of the accompanying pic-

Chrysanthemum Indicum and the Later Day Members of its Family.

ture appear to be the fittest in some
respects at least, for they have survived
for several years, in spite of strong
competition. But man's preferences
are even more fickle than Nature's, and
Turner may be dethroned at any time.
And the little Chrysanthemum Indi-
cum, shown in the illustration as "the
original plant," evidently possesses
some fitness too, since it also survives,
has survived for ages and may still sur-
vive when Turner has vanished like a
ghost.

The immense bush chrysanthemums
exhibited by John Canning, of Ardsley,
N. Y., at the fall show of the Horti-
cultural Society of New York, were ac-
knowledged to be the chief attraction.
But it is reasonably certain that the
group of mums which is shown in the
illustration, and which also was staged
by Mr. Canning, received a large share
of attention, especially from the most
intelligent and thoughtful of the spec-
tators. Such an exhibit is an object
lesson that can scarcely be ignored or
entirely misunderstood by the passing
throngs.

In labeling Chrysantheinuni Indicum
as "the original plant" in the evolu-
tion of the big greenhouse mums, the
exhibitor probalaly was accurate enough
for all practical purposes. Botanists
assert that the florists' mums are de-
scended from two sources. Chrysanthe-
mum Indicum and C. morifolium, also
known as C. Sincnse, both of which
species of plants grow wild in China
and Japan. The two species, however,
are much alike, and C. Indicum is some-
times supposed to include C. morifolium.
The word "Indicum," by the way,
seems to be a misnomer, as the plant
did not come from India.

After being cultivated in their native
climates for hundreds, perhaps thou-
sands, of years, the "original plants"
were introduced to England in the sec-

ond half of the eighteenth century.
The first seedlings were raised in
France and England about 1830 and
some of the plants were brought to
America about the same time. Forty
or fifty years later began the great
work of hybridization, carried on by
H. P. Walcott, Wm. K. Harris, John
Thorpe and their successors. In 1863
the late Peter Henderson imported the
first improved varieties brought direct-
ly from Japan.

The brown foliage may be due either
to too much water at the roots, exces-

foliage. Such plants occasionally will
appear in the best growers' establish-

TESTING CANNAS IN TENNESSEE.

[This Is the third of four articles containing
an account of canna tests on trial grounds near
Nashville, Tenn. The first and second articles
were published in The Keview of November 0
and December 7. The foiirth Installment will
appear in an early issue of the paper.]

Previous articles in this series have
treated of white, variegated and pink
eannas. The red varieties are here, dis-
cussed.

Among the red eannas there are so
many really good ones that it seems al-
most impossible to decide how to omit
enough varieties to make this report rea-
sonably short, and how to avoid includ-
ing some that are no better than others
that are not mentioned. We are getting
better red eannas every year, and it is
not difficult to see the progress of a dec-
ade. Even in the bronze-leaved reds
some of the newer ones are easily supe-
rior to the old favorite. King Humbert,
at least for the south, where a canna
must produce a large number of flowers
for a long season.

As a means of shortening the list and
at the same time giving information
that may be of value to our readers, we
shall confine ourselves to those varieties
that are not yet known by all.

Is This the Best Bed?

Lafayette is a novelty of 1916, origi-
nated by Antoine Wintzer. We have
given it a pretty thorough test, not in
both our trial blocks, but only in the
less favorable location, without rich
soil and with a limited supply of water.
Where we cannot test a variety both
ways we prefer this method, since it cor-
responds better with the treatment that
eannas commonly receive. Practically
all who have seen our bed of this variety
this summer — and it was located where
dozens saw it every day — agree that it
is the best red canna to date. The foli-
age is green, luxuriant and healthy.
The flower is large, but not an orchid,
and in color and freedom of bloom it
is similar to Meteor. Under exactly
the same conditions it had a more daz-
zling color than Meteor and produced
fully a fourth more flowers. If it does
as well elsewhere as it does with us,
better stock up with it even if it is
high.

Of Meteor, we said last season that
it was much overrated and we still
think so, though it has done much bet-
ter this year than in the past. We
think it will soon be superseded by
Lafayette.

We grew enough of Wintzer 's
Colossal this season to be able really to
take its number. We had individual

blossoms that actually reached the enor-
mous size of twelve inches in diameter.
Perhaps it may not ever become gen-
erally popular, for with us the flowers
are somewhat deficient in substance and
the petals droop. It is healthy, how-
ever, and is a great show canna.

Firebird and Its Progeny.

Again we have been disappointed
with Firebird, though it is a great
canna in some respects. It does not
seem to have enough vitality of leaf to
sustain it through the hot season.
In the cool springtime it leads us to
believe it is a wonder; then it lan-
guishes all summer. In the fall it re-
vives just enough to get us to dig it
and try again. We have not decided
this time whether to try again or not.
But here and there is a plant that seems

to be adjusting itself to its environ-
ment, and another year or two may de-
velop an acclimated strain that wUl be
good. If it does, there is no other canna
its equal.

Even if Firebird should prove to be
a failure, it will not be wholly a loss.
It seeds fairly easily, and is the one
foreign canna we know of that is a
good breeder. Growing by my window,
as I write this, are two clumps of Mr.
Wintzer 's Firebird Seedling No. 10.
Here is something that we predict has
a great future. The flower is as large
as the parent, and has practically as
fine a color, though hot the exact shade
of Firebird. These plants have with-
stood the terrific reflected heat of the
south side of my house, with no water,
and the foliage has been perfect all of
the time. Only once did the flowers

GEEANIUM CUTTINGS DiiMPINO.

Every year about th'* first of Sep-
tember I have to take large quantities
of geranium cuttings. Last year quite
a number of them rotted off and the
same thing is beginning to happen this
year. I generally prepare them, let them
lie on the bench a few hours, then insert
them in boxes containing about 200 cut-
tings each. The compost is one-third
sand and two-thirds turfy loam. Of
course, I am aware that cuttings should
not be taken too early, as there is more
danger of their rotting off, but in this
latitude we sometimes have a killing
frost in early September, so that if I
waited I would lose the season's cut-
tings. Any information on this matter
will be greatly appreciated.

J. M.— Can.

There always is more probability of
outdoor geranium cuttings damping than
those taken from under glass, as they
are so much more succulent. In making
cuttings take the leaves off closely and
rub off all the side scales. Allow the cut-
tings to lie on a bench over night before
inserting them. You will have much

better success if, instead of using a com-
post of loam and sand, you use sand
only, and it should be fairly coarse, so
that water will pass quickly through it.
Give your flats good drainage. There is
nothing better than a layer of screened
coal cinders for this purpose. Cover the
cinders with some sphagnum moss, then
pack in your sand firmly and water. A
mason's trowel or any piece of sharp
steel will cut out the lines for the cut-
tings. Give the cuttings a watering
after they are in; after that run them
somewhat on the dry side until they are
rooted.

If you keep the flats in the open air,
standing them on boards, the cuttings
will root better than in a greenhouse,
providing you can give them some pro-
tection from frost or heavy raia^T^ive
the cuttings full sun at all times; ihey
must never be shaded. When you take
them indoors place them on a shelf well
up to the glass. In hot weather there
always is more likelihood of the cuttings
damping than when it is cool. For this
reason it is better to keep your cuttings
in the open air as long as you can.

VIOLETS FAIL TO BLOOM.

Can you tell me what to do to make
outdoor violets bloom here, in north-
western Oregon? I have had some of
the plants for two years, but they have
borne no flowers. I tried cutting some
of them back in various ways, while I
allowed others to grow naturally, but
none of them would bloom.

F. W.— Ore.

Violets would not do well if put in
soil that is poorly drained and deficient
in fertilizer. Having been pruned and
cut back without results, the plants
should be discarded. If the location is
much shaded, change to a sunny spot
with warm, rich soil and good drainage.
Use young plants and good results ought
to be obtained. S. W. W.

SPOT ON VIOLETS.

Our violets are drooping and the foliage
is becoming more spotted every day. They
have been in the house for nearly three
weeks. I cultivated them and sprinkled
them a week ago. Un^il recently they
were nice plants. Any advice will be
appreciated. D. & F. — Mich.

Your foliage is badly attacked with
what is commonly called violet spot. This
is a serious disease, especially on double
violets; on these it often ruins the entire
crop. On singles, which possess greater
vigor, there is less danger. I would ad-
vise that you pick off the affected foliage
as far as possible and give the plants
a thorough spraying with either Fungine
or Bordeaux mixture. Repeat this for
three weeks at intervals of a week. Keep
the house well ventilated night and day.
Never close it tightly until really cold
weather compels you to do so, A dry,
buoyant atmosphere, with a temperature
on cold night's of 40 to 42 degrees and a
rise of 10 to 15 degrees in the daytime,
suits violets. In watering, avoid wet-
ting the foliage any more than is neces-
sary. Keep the floors clean, both in the
aisles and below the benches, if you use
benches, as dirt or decayed foliage tends
to encourage fungoid diseases. C. W.

A FAST-SETTINO CONCRETE.

Greenhouse owners who have trouble
with concrete will be interested in trials
undertaken by the United States Bu-
reau of Standards showing that calcium
chloride is a good accelerator for hard-
ening concrete. By its use the increase
in strength at forty-eight hours varies
from 14 to 275 per cent for the 1-2-4
mix and from 11 to 110 per cent for the
l-l%-3 mix. In all but one case the
concretes mixed with four per cent of
calcium chloride show greater strength
for both mixes than for plain concrete,
these results being consistent for all the

PERLE B. FULMER. ^

NEW YEAR 'S day Miss Fulmer will become president of the Ladies ' S. A. F., so
the publication of her portrait here is in the nature of a greeting to those who
elected her at Houston last August, and to those who were not there. Miss Fulmer
is well known as the daughter of J. D. Fulmer, city gardener at Des Moines. The
family seldom miss a convention and Miss Fulmer has been an active worker
in the ladies' society ever since she joined it, at Philadelphia in 1907. Music
and pedagogy are her life work, but the Ladies ' S. A. F. is her hobby.

ages tested, up to thirty days. This ac-
celeration in strength is believed to be
due to the more complete hydration of
the silicates and aluminates in the set-
ting of the cement. The use of calcium

cliloride increases the cost of concrete
by 50 cents to 75 cents per cubic yard.
For best results it is important that the
concrete be mixed to a quaking, but not
fluid, consistency.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

HYDRANGEAS IN THE SOUTH.

Easter is two weeks earlier this year
than last, so it is none too soon to place
the hydrangeas intended for blooming
at that time into a little heat. First
shift the plants into larger-sized pots,
using a good, rich compost to which has
been added a good sprinkling of bone
meal. I have never found anything like
bone meal for bringing out the colcjr of
the flowers. A night temperature of
56 to 60 degrees will be right for the

first two weeks, after which the plants
probably will need as much as 65 to 70
degrees to get them ready for Easter.

The French varieties will flower two
weeks earlier than the old Otaksa,
which generally needs hard pushing to-
have it on time. Try to have the plants
well ahead of time, so that they can
have the benefit of a cool temperature
for two weeks before they are needed
for sale. They require considerable
water when growing freely, and weekly

waterings with manure water should be
made from the time the flowers show
buds until they show color. L.

GETTING BEADY FOB SPBING.

In the south it is none too soon to
sow seeds of all kinds of bedding plants,
«uch as verbenas, phloxes, petunias,
vincas, marigolds, etc. Sow the seeds
in flats, in soil made light with leaf-
mold, and give the flats a temperature
of 56 to 60 degrees at night. When the
growths are well up the temperature
may be reduced to 50 to 52 degrees,
The vincas, rosea and alba, will require
a higher temperature, say 65 degrees at
night, to germinate, and until spring is
at hand the plants must be kept going
at the same temperature, if good-sized
plants are wanted at planting-out time.

Early rooted geraniums now may
want a shift to 3-inch pots, and many
of them probably will yield cuttings.
These plants do not want over 52 de-
grees at night. In many sections of
the south they only require a coldframe,
with sash protection during extremely
cool weather.

Sow quite a few seeds of Maurandia

Barclaiana for vines. If these are in-
troduced once, they will prove great
sellers next season. Feverfew seeds
may be sown now and produce good lit-
tle plants to set out in spring. When
handled this way, these plants will
bloom practically all summer. They are
excellent flowers for designs. Snap-
dragons, similarly handled, give equally
good results planted out in the open.
Great quantities of the plants are used
for bedding in private gardens. L.

ANOTHEB MEBRY CHBISTMAS.

The accompanying illustration was
prepared from a photograph made De-
cember 15 at the establishment of Baur
& Steinkamp, Indianapolis. "When we
came to selecting a name for this seed-
ling," says A. F. J. Baur, "it occurred
to us that any grower who possessed a
house of this variety would in all prob-
ability be able to spend a right Merry
Christmas and so why not name it just
that? Eed being the Christmas color,
too, the name seems doubly appropri-
ate." The illustration would indicate
that Baur & Steinkamp probably en-
joyed the holiday.

Bambler Boses.

A batch of well ripened rambler roses
■can be started now, preferably such as
were pot-grown through the summer or
were potted in early fall. It will be bet-
ter to start the more recently potted
ones at a later date. Cut out any dead
and weak wood and bend over the long
canes to make them break more evenly.
Do not give the plants much heat at
the start; a night temperature of 45 to
50 degrees will suffice until the plants
have made breaks; then advance the
temperature 5 degrees. Spray the plants
freely until shoots have started, then
discontinue it, except to keep the plants
•clear of red spider. Tausendschon and
Baby Tausendschon, with others of the
baby rambler class, are the best for
<?arly forcing.

Bouvardias.

Except the beautiful, pure white Bou-
vardia Humboldtii, the bouvardias are
best when propagated from root cut-
tings. Use the thickest roots, cut these
in short pieces and place them in a warm
cutting bench where they can be just
covered with sand. B. Humboldtii can
be propagated from either cuttings or
roots. The best plan is to rest a few
plants for a few weeks, then place them
in heat, previously having headed them
back. By this method a fine crop of
succulent cuttings can be had that will
root with the greatest ease.

Gloxinias.

If you want an early batch of glox-
inias, start some of the tubers in flats
containing a little clean sand. Damp
the tubers only moderately. When
growths have started nicely and before
the roots become too matted, pot them,
using a compost of one-half well rotted

pasture loam and one-fourth each of
well decayed manure and leaf-mold, with
a good dash of sand added. Give the
plants a temperature of 58 to 60 degrees
at night and avoid all overhead
syringing.

The Propagating Bench.

Now that we have steadily cold
weather, we can depend on a uniform
temperature in the cutting benches, and
advantage should be taken of this to

get in good supplies of cuttings of all

kinds needed. If you have not yet put
in begonias, do so at. once. Leaf cut-
tings are by far the best for Gloire de
Lorraine, Glory of Cincinnati, Florence
Davenport, Melior, Mrs. J. A. Peterson
and others of this class. Cut off a good
piece of leaf stalk; the young plants
start from the base of the stalks. They
make better plants than those propa-
gated from cuttings, which are notf ob-
tainable until much later in the season.
Plants of the English winter-blooming
section also propagate readily from
leaves. This includes B. Mrs. Heal, op-
tima, aureana, Winter Cheer, etc.
Gloire de Chatelaine, like all of the
Vernon and Erf ordii section, comes most
readily from cuttings, but can also be
grown from seeds.

In the warm propagating bench such
subjects as crotons, draca;nas, pandanus,
acalyphas, ficus, coleus, alternantheras,
heliotropes, etc., can be rooted, while in
the cooler bench, where a temperature of
60 degrees in the sand is maintained,
such plants as carnations, chrysanthe-
mums, ericas, genistas, English ivies,
vincas and many others can be rooted.
Be sure to use clean, sharp sand and see
that there is proper drainage below, so
that water will pass away quickly.

Spirseasr

Spiraeas were a little later than usual
in arriving this season. We always lay
our plants in a coldfr<aine and subject
them to one or two fre&ings before pot-
ting. This makes them start more
evenly and more rapidly. A batch can
be placed in heat now. It is best to use
such varieties as Gladstone, astilboides
and the old Japonica for the earliest
forcing, leaving the pink and lavender
varietiesviintil a later date. Some con-
cerns now carry cold storage spiraeas,
and by using these it is easily possible
to get plants in fine bloom for Christmas,
or, in fact, at any time during the year.

Canterbury Bells.

Canterbury bells will not stand any
hard forcing. A night temperature of
50 degrees should not be exceeded at
any time. Start a batch now in a cold
house. If the clumps are large, be care-

ful not to spray them overhead, and
when watering them be sure not to pour
water over the crowns of the plants, or
rotting will start. If you are carrying
any plants in pots in either coldframea
or pits, do not leave them covered too
long with ice and snow, or they will be-
come moldy. Plan to give them sun
and ventilation at least once in three or
four days.

Primulas.

If you want some early primulas, es-
pecially of P. obconica and Sinensis, pro-
cure and sow the seeds now. These
plants will come in for Thanksgiving
:and Christmas and, as bright colors
have first call at these seasons, it would
be wise to sow a preponderance of the
Ted and deep pink varieties. Buy the
best seeds — they are cheapest in the end
— cover them tightly and protect the
pans with sheets of glass as well as
paper until the seedlings germinate.
P. Kewensis need not be sown until
February, while P. malacoides should
not be started until early July. .

Gardenias.

We now are liable to have a good deal
of dark, cold weather, when it is not
possible to ventilate much, and it is
tinder such conditions that, unless great
■care is taken, there will be a heavy loss
of gardenia buds. Keep the temperature
«t 62 to 65 degrees at night, allowing it
"to run down to 58 to 60 degrees on se-
vere nights. Be careful not to over-
water the plants; it is best to let them
dry out quite well between the water-
ings and to water them so that the at-
mosphere will be moderately dry before
nightfall. It will be necessary to hose
"the plants to keep mealy bug in check,
but care should be taken to select bright
^iays for this work. Avoid the use of
any liquid food at this season. If you
want to feed them, use a light surfacing
of well rotted cow manure or a dressing
of pulverized sheep manure.

Schizanthus.

Keep the schizanthus cool and do not
allow the plants to become potbound un-
til they receive their final shift. If they
are leggy and straggly, pinch them back
into shape. Keep the plants well up to
the light, so that they will be stocky,
with a night temperature not in excess
of 45 degrees.

about the time the buds show color. It
is worse on Matchless than on any of
the others. Aside from this condition
of the buds, the plants are healthy and
are doing well. We have watered them
properly, we think, and we give them a
temperature of 54 degrees at night.

F. G. W.— Ky.

Your carnations are affected by what
is commonly known as bud-rot. This is
supposed to be due to the work of a
tiny insect which operates inside the
buds, causing the petals to stick to-
gether and rot. Lady Bountiful, in its
day, seemed to be the most susceptible
to this disease and I have seen more
of it on Matchless than on most other
modern varieties. Spray regularly with
tobacco extract, ' but reduce your
syringing to a minimum. Pick off and
burn every decayed bud you see, in or-
der to destroy all the eggs. That is
about all you can do until the end of
the season, when you can clean out the
house and fumigate heavily with
sulphur. A. F. J. B.

SEVEN YEAES OF SUCCESS.

Though it is only seven years since
W. R. Maxwell began his career as a
florist and truck gardener aj; Alva, Okla.,
and though he began in a most unpre-
tentious way, the business has developed
until it now ranks as a notable success.
Including a branch establishment at
Tulsa, Okla., the Maxwell greenhouses
are among the moat extensive in the
state. Of course the size of a florist 's
business in Oklahoma must not be
judged or measured by the same stand-
ards as in some of the older states. The
trade in Oklahoma is young and has

only entered upon its real advancement,
like the state itself.

A correspondent at Alva remarks that
the Maxwell success is not due to luck,
but to pluck, energy and good manage-
ment. That statement is so evidently
true that scarcely anyone would venture
to contradict it. In these times of in-
tense competition and general strenu-
osity, luck is even less of a factor than
formerly in the attainment of one's ob-
ject in life.

When W. R. Maxwell founded his
business at Alva seven years ago, "the
wise ones predicted failure," says the
local correspondent again, for Alva was
a small town, with no great, conspicuous
opportunities — only such opportunities
as a keen observer could detect. But
subsequent events proved the "wise
ones" to be false prophets. The Max-
well greenhouse operations arc now re-
garded as constituting one of the princi-
pal industries of the town.

Still, Mr. Maxwell was not fully satis-
fied with what could be accomplished at
Alva. A few years ago, therefore, he
started the branch business at Tulsa,
placing it under the management of his
sons, Floyd and John. This undertaking
also has prospered, and a new addition
to the Tulsa range has just been com-
pleted. That the range is a compact
and attractive one is proved by a photo-
ffraph which is here reproduced. An-
other illustration shows the Alva place.

The Maxwells carry on a considerable
shipping trade, supplying a large part of
northwest Oklahoma and southwest
Kansas with stock. All three proprietors
are expert growers and shrewd business
men. The Alva business is conducted
in the name of W. R. Maxwell. The
Tulsa firm name is Maxwell & Co.

DISEASES OF SWEET PEAS.

Boot Bot and Other Troubles.

' ' Ninety per cent of the failures with
greenhouse sweet peas are due to sick
soils; that is, to parasitic fungi present
there which make plant growth impos-
sible." (.Such, in substance, is one of
the introductory statements in an ar-
ticle by J. J. Taubenhaus, of College
Station, Tex., in a bulletin recently is-
sued by the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society. After thus emphasizing the
importance of his subject, the writer
proceeds to describe the principal sweet
pea diseases, especially those of a
fungoid nature, and to give suggestions
for their control. The part of the ar-
ticle which has reference to indoor cul-
ture may be summarized as follows:

Root rot, or Corticum vagum, is a
source of considerable trouble to green-
housemen. The disease may destroy
the entire stand, or cause it to be un-
even, thus necessitating several resow-
ings. Severely infected plants have
practically no root system. In less in-
fected plants only one or two root-
lets may be destroyed. The fungus
produces a browning effect in the
root before total destruction sets in.
In early stages of infection the seed-
lings are seen to have a wilted ap-
pearance; as the disease progresses the
infected seedlings fall over and col-
lapse. The fungus is not confined to the
roots. It is frequently seen to work
its way up the stem and produce a
constricted area, marking it off from
the healthy part. The fungus, being a
soil organism, is usually introduced with
manure, infection taking place at any
part of the roots or stems. In the latter
case reddish sunken spots are observed
at the base. Root rot is primarily a
seedling disease, although older plants,
too, may be affected. Such plants lin-
ger for some time, but are valueless.
Overwatering and a sour condition of
the soil favors the disease.

Fusarlum Wilt.
The ravages of fusarium wilt, or
Fusarium lathyri, are of much more se-
rious consequence to greenhousemen
than are those of root rot. The writer
has known of instances where the dis-
ease has ruined the entire crop of in-
door sweet peas. After several resow-
ings, the owners gave up in despair.
Florists should do everything to pre-
vent its introduction into the house.
In places where this disease has mad^
its appearance the growing of green-
house sweet peas had to be abandoned
within less than two years. The dis-
ease produces a sudden flagging of the
leaves, which is accompanied by a wilt-
ing and collapse of the seedlings.
Usually, upon sowing the seed, a fair
percentage germinate and reach the

height of eight to ten inches, when
they are attacked by the fungus. If
the collapsed seedlings are allowed to
remain on the ground, the dead stems
will soon be covered with the sickle-
shaped spores of the fusarium fungus.
Eventually the dead tissue rots, attract-
ing small fruit flies, which now begin to
distribute the spores to different places
in the same house. The trouble usually
manifests itself in widely separated
spots on the bench. These spots, how-
ever, quickly spread, involving the en-
tire bed, which may suddenly assume a
wilted appearance. Here and there,
however, and in the same bench, a few
plants remain alive and keep on grow-
ing in spite of the disease.

Stem or Collar Bot.

Stem or collar rot is usually a seed-
ling disease, although it may attack
plants of all ages. Like the rhizoctonia ,
rot, it attacks many different kinds of
seedlings. The trouble is most severe

in houses poorly ventilated and in beds
overwatered or lacking proper drainage,
and in damp places outdoors. The dis-
ease spreads quickly and is soon fatal.
Affected plants first show a wilting of
the tip and flagging of the leaves, and
then the seedlings fall over and col-
lapse. The cause of this disease is a
funguQ, Sclerotinia libertiana, which
also causes a drop disease of lettuce and
of other plants. The fungus does not
seem to attack the roots, but penetrates
the collar of the stem and completely
invades the vessels, thus clogging the
upward flow of the water from the roots
to the stem. Freshly collapsed plants
usually have a water-soaked appear-
ance, and are later overrun by a white
weft, which is merely the mycelium of
the fungus; this is followed by sclerotia
(resting bodies), which are found scat-
tered here and there on or within the
affected stems. The fungus is a soil or-
ganism which occasionally causes trou-
ble in clover flelds. It is introduced
with animal manure.

Thlelavla Boot Bot.

Plants severely infected with thie-
lavia have practically little or no root
system, since the latter is destroyed by
the fungus as rapidly as the roots ap-
pear. Whatever root system is present
is of a stubby nature, charred in ap-
pearance. The fungus sometimes works
up on the stem to a distance of two to
three inches above ground, but never
to the extent of invading the entire
stem. It is probably due to this black-

Houston, Tex. — At the December
meeting of the Houston Florists' Club,
which was held at the Washington ave-
nue greenhouse, with Park Superintend-
ent C. L. Brock as host, the following
were elected officers for 1917: Presi-
dent, Henry Kuhlmann, Jr.; vice-presi-
dent, Paul M. Carroll; secretary, Clar-
ence L. Brock; treasurer, W. W. West-
gate. The club adopted a resolution rec-
ommending that an arboretum be estab-
lished on the new permanent exposition
grounds. The Texas florists believe that
this arboretum should contain specimens
of every plant that is and can be grown
in the southland. Another contest will
be held in 1917 for the prettiest yards
in Houston by the club.

Boseland, Fla. — W. Huger Turner
states that the company of which he is
president has, during December; begun
the establishment of a floral garden,
growing not only fruit and vegetable
plants, but palms, decoratives, etc.
Preparations are being made to grow
large contract orders of various plants
that are particularly adaptable to Flor-
ida culture. The establishment, to be
known as Ercildoune Gardens, is located
at the confluence of the Sebastian and
Indian rivers, having a frontage of one-
and one-quarter miles. The Dixie high-
way traverses it for over half a mile.
It is particularly notable as having the
highest coastal elevation in all Florida
and on it is located the world-famous
frost-proof grove, the oldest citrus grove
in the state, furnishing millions of buds
for budding, being, therefore, largely
the parent, directly and indirectly, of
the major part of Florida groves. "We
have three flowing wells," says Mr.
Turner, "irrigating system, variety of
soils, barns, outbuildings, cottages, pack-
ing house, etc.; in fact, ideally situated
and arranged for plant growing. At
present we have thousands of palms and
various plants and bulbs in a state of
growth and will soon be ready for the
market."

OBITUARY

FINAL NOTICE!

James S. Chase.

James S. Chase, for many years a
gardener in the Bliss road district at
Newport, R. I., died at his home Decem-
ber 15, after an illness of two weeks'
duration. He had not been in the best
of health during the last two years, but
only recently did his illness, heart
trouble, develop seriously. He was in
his sixty-seventh year. He leaves, be-
sides his wife, one daughter and two
sons. The, deceased was a member of
the I. O. 0. F. and the Aquidneck En-
campment. W. H. M.

A. C. L. Brown.

A. C. L. Brown, of Kearney, N. J.,
died December 19, of heart failure. He
was 68 years old and leaves a wife and
son, who will carry on the business. Mr.
Brown was an expert plant grower and
had been in the business over thirty-five
years, largely disposing of his stock in
the Canal street market in New York.
He was highly respected. J. A. S.

Samuel Snyder.

Samuel Snyder, of Second avenue and
Fifty-eighth street. New York, died sud-
denly at the Flower hospital December
17, of erysipelas, following an operation.
He was 40 years old and leaves a widow,
who will continue the business. Mr.
Snyder was highly esteemed in the
trade. J. A. S.

Obarles Bleeckert.

Charles J. Bleeckert, of St. Louis,
once among the better known of florists
there, has succumbed to heart disease.
He was 72 years of age and had been in
the business almost from the time he
came from Sweden, in '1851. He did re-
tailing from his greenhouses, the busi-
ness recently having been in charge of
his son, C. B. Bleeckert, who will con-
tinue it.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

Christmas is over again, thank good-
ness, for it proved a most exacting and
exasperating period this year, with more
orders than ever and less labor to han-
dle the stock. Fortunately, however,
the quality of everything was good and
the prices occasioned no disagreeable
comment, retailers everywhere being
favored with the best trade they have
ever experienced. Valley at $5, orchids
at $60 and Beauties at $75 per hundred
were eagerly sought after, but there was
not enough stock in any of the grades
to supply the demand. W. G. P.

SEEDS OF SPRING STOCK.

When do you advise me to sow pansy,
verbena, petunia and salvia seeds to
have good stock for the spring trade!

W. D. T.— 0.

August-sown pansies are the best for
the spring trade, but seeds sown early in
January will give nice plants for suc-
cessional blooms. They are not equal in
pulling power, however,'to the early fall-
sown stock. Petunia and verbena seeds
can be sown from February 1 to 15 and
will be in ample time. Salvias can be
sown as late as March 1, as they are
rapid growers, but if they are wanted in
flower, sow them in February. C. W.

And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print
The Review!

Many readers have been so kind as to write that The Review is
worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the
tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to
sell The Review at $1.00 a year.

The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1,
1917, to $1.50 a year.

Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for one
or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year.

Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1,
1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that
such renewals are sent during 1916.

Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present
date of expiration, whenever that may be.

Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present
date of expiration.

Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years.

No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they
are mailed by December 31, 1916.

The Canadian subscription price will be $2.60 & year beginning January 1, 1917. Can-
adian renewals mailed on or before December 31. 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

Charles A. Moss, of Spartanburg,
S. C, inaugurated the season with a
steady advance in prices — carnations at
$1.25 to $1.50 per dozen, other stock in
proportion. Chrysanthemums sold free-
ly. Roses were in excellent crop for
Christmas. We were discussing the
wisdom, or otherwise, of selling to the
5 and 10-cent stores, and Mr. Moss
mentioned the fact that a grower who
sold 1,000 scrub mums in paper pots, for
$80, has a contract to grow 100,000
bulbs for a chain of stores in the
south, which has guaranteed to take
the blooms, in every case a cash trans-
action.

The Scholtz Floral Co., of Charlotte,
N. C, took advantage of the spacious-
ness of its new store to make the finest
chrysanthemum display ever seen here.
In mantel and table decorations, Sam-
uel R. Aiken, recently engaged from
Philadelphia, spread himself. Secretary
McCullum says the show certainly
boosted business. Robert Lockerbie, in
charge of the greenhouses, is sending
in fine cuts of red and pink bouvardias,
calendulas, myosotis and snapdragons.
He probably will grow bouvardias in
pots, believing that the taste can be
cultivated; he recalls the time when
bouvardias sold freely as pot plants.
"It is agreeably surprising to us how
our business has broadened in these few

years. Really nothing goes to waste,"
commented W. "W. Scholtz.

Adolphus Gude, of the Gude Bros Co.,
at Anacostia, D. C, is justly proud of
the stock being gotten into shape for
the Washington store. New houses, built
by their own men during a shortage of
help, caused some anxiety. The season
has been ideal for carnations and roses,
which looked tip-top and were well timed
for holiday cropping. Chrysanthemums
have been good, some grand blooms of
William Turner being cut November 22.
As space is made, single violets are
planted. One of the new houses planted
to sweet peas has violets between the
rows. Azaleas have come through in
fair shape, a lot of Mme. Petrick hav-
ing been ready for Christmas. Poin-
settias, cyclamens and begonias were
right in line, with a batch of pelar-
goniums prepared as an emergency crop.
"We are late in getting at our lilies
for Easter, ' ' observed Mr. Gude, ' ' but
feel sure that they will come in on time.
The bulbs are plump, potted into 4-inch
pots and then placed on the bench where
they will remain, covered with cheese-
cloth or similar covering. We seldom
have failed to hit the mark and look
for another strike."

The Ghent Floral Co. is located in
the residence section of Norfolk and is
able to make a more elaborate display,
with the returns in proportion. W, M.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings resulcs.

There are reports that Ophelia rose in
many places has been making enormous
plants but that the growths came blind,
thereby disappointing the growers who
counted on it for Christmas.

Our good friend, A. Jablonsky, of
Olivette, Mo., conducts a page of inter-
esting chat on all manner of subjects in
the St. Louis County Herald. The
Christmas issue was decorated with Mr.
Jablonsky 's portrait.

This trade is like a rubber water bot-
tle, with an elastic body capable of great
expansion on special occasions, but with
a narrow neck through which the contents
can be discharged in only a limited
amount within a given time.

There is absolutely no reason for sim-
ilar prices for articles of dissimilar value.
Everybody knows some carnations would
be dear at 3 cents where certain others
might be moderately priced at 4 cents;
why, then, not insist on getting each grade
at what it is worth? The reasoning might
well be applied to the purchase of every-
thing florists use in the business.

Some persons consider that it is a joke
to report, year after year, the "best
Christinas ever"; that such reports are a
strain on credulity. Not at all! The
production of flowers in this country in-
creases every year; the new glass to bo
erected this spring will necessitate a still
wider distribution of flowers at Christmas,
1917. Only the cash returns to the indi-
vidual can decrease; on the whole the
business done must increase.

Otherwise, the Last Chance.

Because of the tremendous rise in the

cost of paper The Review was forced to

announce that after December 31, 1916,

the subscription price will be $1.50 per

year, instead of $1, as in the past:

Enclosed Is my renewal; The Review Is worth
double the price. — W. F. Uichter, Cullman, Ala.,
December 15, lOlC.

But it was announced, also, that any

member of the trade could extend his

subscription at the old rate for as many

years as he pleased by acting before

January 1:

Enclosed is a check for $7 for extension of sub-
scription seven years from date of expiration
(June 7, 1017), as we find The Review indispen-
sable.— Lyie E. Severance, Lansing, Mich.,
December 7, 1916.

So this is the last chance; no subscrip-
tion post-marked later than December
31, 1916, will be accepted for a full year
unless accompanied by a remittance of
$1.50:

I am sending $3 for three years, to get In
ahead of the rise. — ^E. B. Washburn, Pasadena,
Cal., December 16, 1916.

The assurance of even larger circula-
tion than ever, thus given for 1917, in-
sures the continuation of prompt re-
turns to advertisers:

For $2.25 The Review sold fo^r me 32,000 bulbs
and I received many Inquiries for other stock
and for special prices on larger quantities than
I could supply. I have received orders from
almost all parts of the United States. This is
the first time I have advertised in The Review,
but you can see for yourself that you will be
sure to hear from me whenever I have stock to
oflfer. — Earl Edgerton, Lansing, Mich., Decem-
ber 16, 1016.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be pretty
sure he spends a good bit of money else-
where than in The Eeview.

"WATCH YOUR WORDS."

There is something particularly irri-
tating in the guard's admonition to
"Watch your step," but it is a wise
thing to heed. Also, if everyone who
writes a little could have printed on
his blotter, "Watch your words," it
might do a lot of good. For he is a
rare man who can put his thoughts on
paper as he would have them under-
stood by the person to whom they are
addressed.

There are, of course, the men who do
not care — their case is hopeless. Of the
man who does not care how he sounds,
any more than how he looks or acts,
nothing further need be said. This is
of and for the man who cares but has
not thought.

Among florists, probably as among
others, the most common fault of cor-
respondents is ambiguity or incomplete-
ness, the lack of definiteness which
leaves the recipient to guess at what
the writer meant. It is the cause of
many misunderstandings.

But the most aggravating correspond-
ent is the one who, particularly in mak-
ing a complaint, employs unwarranted
language. In a recent instance which
came to the attention of The Review a
buyer wrote a first-class wholesale
grower, upon the arrival of a first ship-
ment, that he evidently had "fallen
among thieves and robljers"; that he
demanded his money back, although he
had no reason to expect he could get
it out of "a bunch of crooks."

Does any reader marvel that the man
who got that letter was too angry for
several days to trust himself to
answer? It was an extreme case, but

there are many complaints put in such
intemperate language that they bar ad-
justment and make further business
relations impossible.

But it is not all one-sided. In an-
other instance an inquiry, as to why
goods .'ad not arrived or letters been
answered, brought a buyer a reply to
this effect: "The goods havQ^^one
forward or would return your money;
don't annoy yourself by sending us any
more orders." And that same letter
contained the good, practical informa-
tion that "You can catch more flies
with molasses than with vinegar!"

Still another case, but of a different
nature: A retailer of the highest
standing sent a telegraph order for a
funeral spray to cost $6. In the course
of time came a letter, "I hope you did
not rob that order, because these were
millionaires and the spray was quite
insignificant beside others there." Did
he "rob" it? What a way of calling
attention to a possible error! Do you
wonder the first retailer could see
nothing in it but an insult?

A business house boasting a careful,
concise, considerate correspondent
should treasure him as one of its price-
less possessions.

STANDARDIZINa TRADE TERMS.

A committee of the Ornamental Grow-
ers' Association is preparing a report in
the endeavor to standardize trade terms
and trade practice in the nursery busi-
ness. This report would apply also to
all horticultural trades and professions,
covering particularly florists', seeds
men's and fruit growers' activities. In
compiling a list of trade terms both as
to description of plants in catalogues,
grading of plants in the field, and for
sale, shipping tags and marks, foreign
trade terms, import and export custom
and usage, the committee desires to make
a report as comprehensive as possible.

Harlan P. Kelsey, chairman commit-
tee on standardization, whose address is
Salem, Mass., says that so far he has
"failed to locate any published list of
such trade terms other than those given
in the current catalogues of the day. If
anyone knows of any such lists and will
kindly give me the references it will aid
the committee in its work. A list of
trade terms in any line of business would
help us out considerably."

CHICAGO.

The Market. ,

The Christmas business was the
largest and, on the whole, the most satis-
factory the Chicago wholesale cut flower \
market has ever seen. Everything ■*
seemed to combine to foster a good busi-
ness. The weather for the greater part
of the week was bright and not too cold,
helping the growers to get their crops in
on time and making for a good local
demand. The marked shortage of aza-
leas and other blooming plants made
buyers look to cut flowers to fill their
needs. Orders booked in advance were
unusually numerous, and from out-of-
town they kept coming steadily, so that
it was midnight December 2.'? before the
shipping came to an end. December 22
was the big day.

There is some trouble^ now on hand,
however, because of the unprecedented
express congestion, which caused delay
on nearly all shipments. It brought some
stock in too late to be Pold, and many ship-

ments to customers were so delayed that
refusals were numerous. Just how large
a factor this will be, and to what extent
the express companies can be held re-
sponsible, is not yet known.

The market was well cleaned up De-
cember 23, but after the shipping orders
were out stock began to accumulate. City
trade was a little disappointing, for
there was little buying done December
24 and 25, on which days a brisk local
demand had been looked for. It appears
that retailers had estimated the amount
of stock which they would require' with
unusual accuracy, and therefore found
it unnecessary to do last minute buying.

Contrary to general expectations,
there was plenty of stock in the market,
with the possible exception of American
Beauty, Eussell and red roses, red carna-
tions and violets. This stock was short,
as usual, but had there been more red it
simply would have meant that greater
quantities of light colored flowers would
have been left. Except for special colors,
orders were filled in full. Stock as a rule
was of good quality, and this was well,
as at no time of the year are the buyers
so critical as at Christmas; they are will-
ing to pay the price, but they must have
the right quality. Most wholesalers es-
timate an increase in their business over
last year of at least twenty per cent.
This was largely due to the fact that
they had enough stock to fill all orders
and still, in practically every case, stock
sold right up to quotations. No slump
took place December 24 or 25, for the
reason it was clear cutting prices would
not clear the market, as buyers were not
inquiring. The accumulations of Sunday
and Monday therefore were carried to
December 26.

American Beauties were decidedly
short up to December 24 and cleared out
quickly at quotation prices. Russell was
hit a hard blow by the zero weather and
was far short of the demand. Eed roses
also cleared easily and there were hardly
any left on the market December 25.
White roses were not in large supply.

Red carnations sold quickly at good
prices. Enchantress moved a little slow,
while there was practically no demand
for the white varieties.

Valley sold easily and was completely
cleaned out at the quoted price. Easter
lilies also sold well. Violets were in
short supply, many shipments being
frozen. What stock there was cleared
well, however, at quoted prices. Sweet
peas were in short supply and sold easily.
Mignonette moved fairly well. Quanti-
ties of Paper Whites were on hand at
closing time December 25. Poinsettias
sold well at good prices. There was some-

thing of a shortage of the longer
lengths.

There was enough holly, such as it was,
but good stock was scarce and many
complaints came from out-of-town buy-
ers who did not understand. Bouquet
green was scarcer than ever known be-
fore. Red berries were unobtainable in
quantity. Boxwood also was scarce,
some large shipments arriving too late
to be used on orders taken in advance.

The retailers as a rule say it was their
largest Christmas, but a good many of
them had enough stock left so that they
did not appear in the market December

Saturday afternoon, December 23. He
said that what impressed him most was
the jaded appearance of nearly everyone
he saw; business going on almost si-
lently, workers too tired for unnecessary
speech. Inflamed noses and cold-sore
lips indicated an epidemic of uncared
for colds and even the growers, in to
see how things were going, showed the
marks of unusual hours of labor. It
spoke of big business, all right, but to
this observer it seemed to indicate that,
aside from satisfaction in a task well
done, the principal joy of Christmas
would lie in the fact that it was over.

In recognition of faithful service and
the unusual character of the times, the
Lord & Burnham Co. made each of its
employees a Christmas present of one
week's pay.

Edward H. Goldenstein, who last week
fevered his connection with Vaughan's
l^ced Store to become a partner in the
Holland firm of Langhout & Co., is pre-
paring to go on the road early in the
new year. He will have charge of the
permanent American headquarters the
firm is establishing and consid&rs that
being an American member of a Holland
firm will put him in a peculiarly advan-
tageous position to meet competitiori.

In view of the large number of
Ophelia benched last spring, the Christ-
mas supply of that popular rose was sur-
prisingly small. Wietor Bros, probably
are entitled to the blue ribbon, having
cut nearly 30,000 flowers from 10,000
plants. N. J. Wietor says he never be-
fore sold so many roses at 18 cents each
as he did of this cut of Ophelia.

The notable retail advertisement of
the Christmas season was the full page
of the Fleischman Floral Co. in the
Tribune of December 22. A Tribune
page is 2,400 agate lines and the cost,
varying somewhat with the nature of
the contract, is about $800.

In spite of the Christmas rush last
week, many members of the trade
stopped in front of the window of the
American Bulb Co., attracted by a vase
of a new pink rose of striking size and
color. A. Miller brought the flowers
from Mt. Clemens, Mich., where Fred
Breitmeyer has 3,000 plants of it. It is
a sport of Ophelia and is said to have
the easy-to-do qualities of the original.

combined with the clear rose-pink color.
The variety is to be disseminated in
1918 and the American Bulb Co. will
have a hand in the proceedings, al-
though it is said several eastern noveky
distributors have made good offers for
exclusive rights.

Three nights last week, Thursday to
Saturday inclusive, John Michelsen and
five of his assistants obtained a couple
of extra hours of sleep by bunking at
the Sherman House instead of going
home. It is stated December 22 was the
biggest day in the history of the E. C.
Amling Co., tickets written between 7
a. m. and midnight footing over $11,000.

A steady success has come to R.
SchefSer, who some years ago bought out
his employer, E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton.
Mi*. Scheffler's specialty is carnations,
but he keeps every foot of space contin-
uously busy and considers it the princi-
pal cause of profit. He considers this an
excellent season, although the mid-sea-
son mums did not do so well as usual.

Several interesting facts may be de-
duced from the statement of "W. J,
Keimel that the cut of Wendland &
Keimcl Co., Elmhurst, from December

16 to 23, both inclusive, turned out to
be 90,000 roses, where 60,000 had been
the estimate. It shows how the general
supply must have exceeded expectations,
since other growers also were able to
cut more than they predicted, but most
of all it shows how strong the demand
must have been to absorb the greater
quantity without breaking the market.

Considerable quantities of California
asparagus have been coming to this mar-
ket for some little time, but it does not
give as good satisfaction as does the
Florida stock. The California aspara-
gus seems to dry out and scatter quicker.

There were unusually small quantities
of white roses on the market this Christ-
mas, the attitude of the growers being
indicated by Weiss & Meyer Co., Elm-
hurst; the company cut down the num-
ber benched this year, planned that they
shall be in crop later rather than at
Christmas and is thinking of dropping
them altogether at next replanting of
the houses.

C. Pfund Co., in Oak Park, is planning
to bench some lily bulbs for cut flowers
for its retail trade.

From what I could learn, St. Louis
florists were satisfied with the volume
of business done for Christmas. While
many as yet have not their figures
handy, they say that this Christmas will

equal any previous one and, in many
cases, will be better than any previous
one. Christmas day on a Monday made
it easy for the trade, giving them Sun-
day to get things in shape for ejirly
Monday delivery. This condition helped
the wholesaler also. The weather was
favorable, as it was not cold enough to
require much wrapping of plants and
cut flowers.

After talking with some of the lead-
ing west end retailers, we learn that
the best selling flowering plants were
azaleas; but these were scarce this year,
and poinsettias sold better than ever
and seemed as popular as ever. Cincin-
nati begonias and cyclamens had a great
call. Oranges with well colored fruit
had a heavy demand. All kinds of ferns
sold well this year. It seems that the

plant trade was as large as usual this
Christmas.

Cut flowers sold better this Christmas
than at that of many previous years.
Eoses were among the leaders. Select
Beauties sold as high as $12 per dozen
and from that down to $3 per dozen.
More Beauties could have been disposed
of, but shipments from out-of-town went
astray. The same' may be said of or-
chids. Fancy cattleyas were up to $1
each. Many expected shipments as yet
have not arrived. Extra select Bussells
were in heavy demand, going as high as
$50 per hundred. Milady and Ophelia
went strongly, but other stock, Killar-
ney, Ward and Killarney Brilliant, had
but little call.

Carnations fell far below those of
other years in price and popularity.

The Florists^ Review

Decembeb 28, 1916.

Only small numbers made $S per hun-
dred; $6 was jthe average price. Decem-
ber 23 and 24 the market went wrong
and prices fell as low as $4 for selects;
even good reds sold at that price. Christ-
mas day many whites and Enchantress
sold as low as $1 per hundred, as the
market was crowded with good stock.

Violets sold well during the week.
During the first part of the week prices
ranged from $1 to $1.50 per hundred
and later in the week extra selects went
to $2 per hundred. Valley did not seem
to sell so well this year; the price was
up to $6 per hundred and the trade
bought sparingly. Extra select cut poin-
settias sold better this year. The de-
mand was large and the flowers brought
$5 per dozen. Sweet peas were limited
in supply. For select butterflies the top
price was $1.50 per hundred. The best
Paper Whites made $4 per hundred this
year and sold well. No freesias or Eo-
mans were seen. There were a few
chrysanthemums, but there was not
much demand for these. Stevias sold
well this year and all greens had a big
demand.

It is hard to tell what the New Year's
trade will be this year. Usually it is not
heavy locally, but many of our retailers
report a number of advance orders
placed for watch parties, etc., and should
the fine weather keep up the local trade
may experience a heavy demand, for
which preparations now are being made.

Various Notes.

The downtown florists who say Christ-
mas business was never better include
Grimm & Gorly, the Mullanphy Florists,
Fred Foster, the Kiessen Floral Co. and
John Berner. They surely had their hands
full, even with 'plenty of extra help.
Plants and cut flo vers sold equally well.
Some of them fared badly on shipping
trade, as the express company would ac-
cept the shipments only subject to delay.
This was their only complaint this
Christmas.

The Sanders Nursery Co., the Young
Bros. Floral Co., John Borne, the Ka-
lisch Bros. Floral Co., F. C. Weber, the
Young & Sons Co., Fred H. Weber, Jo-
seph Witek and Miss M. S. Newman had
about all they could handle the last three
days of the week.

of East St. Louis, 111., this year.

Henry Ostertag, head of Ostertag
Bros., reports that his firm will furnish
the decorations incidental to the inaugu-
ration of Governor-elect Gardner, at
Jefferson City, Mo. A carload of plants
and cut stock will be used for this occa-
sion.

The Robinson Floral Co., of North
Taylor avenue, opened a branch store at
the corner of Vandeventer avenue and
Olive street, just in time to receive a
good share of Christmas business.

The wholesalers experienced much
trouble this Christmas on account of re-
tarded shipments. Many shipments had
not yet arrived at noon Christmas day.
The shipping orders, too, were taken
only subject to delay. Many retailers
who had shipments coming in and going
out also have complaints. Never before
were the express companies' houses so
badly congested, with no cars to handle
the packages. J. J. B.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Christmas Market.

No soldier ever sees a battle. It is
well-nigh equally difficult to describe
the Christmas market immediately after
its close, before all the reports are re-
corded. The effort recalls the announce-
ments made of the election on the eighth
day of last month.

The conditions surrounding the open-
ing of the Christmas cut flower market
December 20 were unusual. The weather
was extremely unfavorable, dark, cold,
and a forecast of storm indicated a re-
duced supply and shipping difficulties to
overcome. The unusually early date at
which good blooming plants had been
cleared up gave promise of a heavy de-
mand for all cut flowers. The weather
moderated with the approach of the holi-
day, so that the plantsmcn were obliged
to contend with its greatest severity on
their heaviest shipping days.

December 21, the heaviest cut flower
shipping day, cleared so much good stock
that the commencement of local buying
December 22 found no surplus of good
flowers on hand. December 22 also was
a good shipping day to near-by parts.
Locally December 23 was the big day.
The buying was heavy throughout the
day and the night that followed. The
effect of December 24 coming on Sunday
seemed to rather prolong matters, en-
abling the stores to catch up with their
orders and secure what stock they need-
ed to complete their purchases. Christ-
mas (lay, December 25, was the quietest
of the six days in the wholesale market.
The retailers devoted all their tired en-

ergies to getting the last of their orders
delivered and then went to bed.

It is probable that the volume of busi-
ness in plants and flowers was the larg-
est ever known in this market. Cycla-
mens were the most popular blooming
plants, then poinsettias. Begonias hardly
held their own. Azaleas were promi-
nent by reason of their scarcity. Ferns
held the lead among plants without
blooms.

As was anticipated, roses were the
popular cut flowers. Their popularity
exceeded anything known here in the
past. This was due to the fact that
roses were plentiful and fine. The fea-
ture of the rose market was the surpris-

ingly fine showing made by Hadley, in
competition with a heavy crop of fine
Beauties. The best Hadley roses sold at
$1 each. This was the more remark-
able because some Beauties sold at $9
per dozen. Under improving weather
conditions Beauties advanced to $12 per
<lozen. Of course there were far more
Beauties than Hadleys, and ever so
iiiany more of the dollar grade, but the
fact that some Hadleys were worth so
much is strong proof of the merit of
t'le variety. So many red roses were
cropped for Christmas that there was
an oversupply despite the heavy demand.
I'ink roses, on the other hand, were short
'^^ the demand. They did not bring the
■incy prices of red roses, but sold quick-
1 " at good prices. The finer grades were
"uite scarce at times. Yellow roses were
-TPtive in a more limited way, at good
I nces. There was no great quantity
■ f white roses offered. The demand was

•est for the cheaper grades.
Carnations suffered terribly from the

ibsence of sunshine. Every grower had
luds; few had flowers. Red and bright
.'ink were most wanted, but anything
-resh and nice was taken.

Disappointment was linked with many
of the other flowers. The weather re-
duced the supply and the market was
too critical to take stock that would
once have been good enough.

Beauties were undoubtedly the leading
roses. They were in heavy crop, with a
better supply of medium and short stems
at the last moment than was anticipated.
The bulk of the long Beauties were sold
at $75 per hundred; just a few brought
$1 each. The medium and short grades
brought from $50 to $20 per hundred,
according to quality. A good many
Beauties were used by the fashionable
shops; the plain, every-day florist took
few or none.

Hadley, apart from the memorable in-
stance of blue-ribboners at $1 given
above, brought from 50 cents down. The
supply was fair. Richmond was in crop
with several growers and brought 8 to 25
cents; those held higher did not sell.
Ophelia wais in great demand at about
the same figures as Richmond; there
were not nearly enough Ophelia. Mrs.
Russell brought from 50 cents down ; the
supply was only moderate. There were
a good many Prima Donna; a few of the

best brought 35 cents. September Morn
brought from 40 cents down, with offer-
ings limited. The most surprisingly high
prices were really found in the short
roses; 6 cents, 8 cents and 10 cents were
realized for extremely short-stemmed and
medium-sized Killarncy, White Killarney
and Maryland, while little Mrs. Ward
was worst of all in this respect; people
love the color of this little orange-tinted
bud, and from 6 cents for short stems to
20 cents for long stems was the price.

It seemed as though Killarney was los-
ing in popularity. While the best brought
20 cents and 25 cents, 6 cents to 15 cents
was the common price, with the buyers
looking for Maryland and Shawyer and
merely taking Killarney to get a pink
rose. Of course there still ar6 many loyal
friends of Killarney, but it looks as
though their number is decreasing.

Carnations were good, plentiful with
some growers and shy with others. The
general feeling in the stores is that car-
nations are not thoroughly satisfactory
at the holidays. The best red brought 10
cents, 12 cents and occasionally 15 cents.

The price for other colors was 6 cents to
^ cents, now and then 10 cents. Mrs. C.
"W. Ward continued a prime favorite when
•well grown. Stores that wish to avoid
trouble do not accept orders for red car-
nations at Christmas. There was an over-
supply of white carnations, an almost in-
variable rule at this season.

Sweet peas were in heavier supply than
usual at Christmas. They came in pink,
ivhite, a few lavender and some other
■colors. The drohid-flowered peas were so
"fine that they brought $2.50, $3 and even
$4 per hundred. The grandiflora peas
►brought $1 to $2; these were mostly
•Christmas Pink.

Violets brought from $1 to $1.50 per
hundred; the fancy singles bringing as
much as tl e New York doubles. There
'was trouble with delayed shipments from
the Hudson river; some of these did not
:arrive in time to go out on orders. Valley
was in fairly good supply at from $4, $6
to $8 per hundred. There was not enough
•of the best, but rather too much of the
lower grade.

Poinsettias were in brisk demand at
from $2 to $4 per dozen bracts. Easter
lilies sold well at 15 cents. Cattleya
TriansB brought $9, $10 and $12 per
dozen. Cattleya Percivaliana was $6 per
dozen, cypripediums $15 per hundred.
•Gardenias brought $2 to $4 per dozen ;
the best sold well. Snapdragons were in
fair supply at $1.50 to $2 per dozen, with
good support for anything nice. Mig-
•nonette brought* $4 per hundred, with
more for fancy stock. Yellow daisies
made $2 per hundred. Paper Whites
brought $3 and $4, but were in oversup-
ply. Stevia brought $1 per hundred.
There were few chrysanthemums.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of
Asparagus plumosus sprays and strings
•of smilax unloaded on the market at
•Christmas. Nobody wanted them ; nobody
•ever wants these greens at the holidays.
Why throw them away? The holly, ly-
copodium, boxwood, mistletoe and good-
ness knows what else are quite enough
•without them. Greenhouse greens are
Isadly needed later.

It will be a couple of weeks before the
plants left after Christmas will be in
bloom and ready to appear, so close was
the cleanup. The fact that begonias held
their own this year is due to the first ap-
pearance of Mrs. Peterson. All the plants
•offered of this variety were quickly taken.
Araucarias were just as popular as ever;
■nice plants were quickly sold. Anything
like an Otahcite orange was wanted for
combination baskets and boxes. Small

crotons and Adiantum Glory of Mor-
drecht were freely used for this purpose.

To sum up, while nobody has figures
ready yet, the general impression is that
Christmas has been satisfactory, both in
plants and in cut flowers. The genertd
feeling is that the volume of business
was equal to or slightly exceeded that of
any previous week at the festive season.
There have been differences with the ex-
press companies because of delay and
loss, but these are only clouds in the
bright sky.

December 26 found the cut flower mar-
ket bare of everything except leftover
white flowers, Paper Whites, white car-
nations, white roses, stevia, etc. Fresh
roses soon came in; other flowers followed
slowly. Business was light, at prices
about twenty-five per cent below those of
December 23. Poor flowers, always an
incident to a holiday, were unloaded for
what they were worth just before
Christmas, this leaving the market in
fairly good shape for the closing of the
year. It is a wise policy, for what is the
use of shipping poor flowers at any time,
least of all at the holidays?

Just One Note.

I hope you will have a prosperous and
happy New Year. Phil.

Various Notes.

W. R. Nicholson had a grand Christ-
mas pick of carnations. He especially
likes Alice, Matchless and Pink Delight.
Prom a large batch of Alice planted as
late as September 2 he has already aver-
aged six flowers per plant, showing how
profusely this variety blooms. Mr.
Nicholson has a specially fine strain of
winter-flowering wallflowers and of
these he had many for the holidays; also
freesias, Godfrey callas and marguerites.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
says that Carnation Nancy improves
with him as the season advances. Par-
ticularly good are Matchless, Alice, Pink
Delight, Champion and Beacon. For
Christmas he also had wallflowers, calen-
dulas, heliotropes, stevias and mar-
guerites.

The New England Florists ' Supply Co.
reports a record-breaking Christmas
trade in greenery, baskets and other
Christmas supplies. The establishment
of this concern has been an extremely
busy place of late.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, had a
heavy pick of high-grade carnations for
the holidays; also a fine lot of polyan-
thus, roses, sweet peas and asparagus.

The oflScers and employees of H. M.
Robinson & Co. presented the senior
member of the firm, Henry M. Robinson,
with a handsome leather easy chair De-
cember 20, on the twentieth anniversary
of his marriage. The gift came as a
complete surprise to Mr. Robinson and
was greatly appreciated.

Patrick Welch says Christmas trade
with him was splendid. I noted here
some fine English primroses, gardenias,
cattleyas, American Beauties and sweet
peas.

John Barr is one of our finest growers
of carnations. He reduced his number
of varieties this season and now grows
chiefly Matchless, Pink Delight, Ward,
Good Cheer and Champion. He had
12,000 flowers for the holidays.

and another season the company plans
to grow little else than pot plants.

At Welch's wholesale house, 2S0

with a rush and in far heavier volume
than they had dared to anticipate. They

! The Rawson Conservatories, of Arling-
ton, sent in 20,000 carnations Christmas
yveeii. They also had a fine lot of poin-
settias in pans, begonias, primulas and
azaleas.

Bachelor's buttons have become quite
a feature in the Boston market this win-
ter. I have not seen finer flowers than
those sent in December 23 by Lewis
Smith, of Tewksbury, on 16-inch stems,
which created a sensation.

The finest rose-pink carnation coming
into the Boston wholesale market this
season is the new Albert Roper, from
the Roper Estate, Tewksbury. This is
destined to displace all others of its
color. It is to be sent out the coming
season and many tliousands have al-
ready been ordered.

The Welch Bros. Co. did a tremendous
Christmas business. Mr. Reynolds, one
of- the firm, says all hands had to work
until midnight for a number of days be-
fore Christmas, and the way orders
poured in was an eye-opener.

Paine Bros., of Randolph, had 4,000
Golden Spur narcissi for the holidays
out of a batch of 5,000 planted.

Kidder Bros, had a superb lot of sin-
gle violets for the holidays. Their flow-
ers are always beautifully bunched.

The next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, January 16, will be
ladies' night. Officers will be installed
and there will be an entertainment and
oollation, followed by dancing.

The Newtonville Greenhouses, R. C.
Bridgham, proprietor, had a grand lot
of roses, carnations and other bench
erops, in addition to pot plants, for the
holiday trade, and did a record business.

S. J. Goddard's mixed bunches of car-
nations were a feature of the Boston
market. Such carnations, of the highest
<]uality, readily made $15 per hundred
and included such fine varieties as
Laddie, Rosalia, Doris, Nancy and some
of the older sorts.

At Penn's the volume of Christmas
trade was tremendous, the store being
crowded uncomfortably for two or three
days prior to the holiday. Sales were a
long way ahead of all previous records.

themums sent by C. T. Guenther, of

was unfortunate. Coupled
with it was the arrival of much pickleil
stock, under which the market gradually
became so top-heavy that a slump be-
came inevitable.

Instead of the moderate shipments of
carnations expected, the market was
flooded with them. The pickling process
employed because of the high prices
' ' guaranteed ' ' by some wholesale houses
had produced the usual result. The
greatest misfortune was that carnations
unsteadied the whole market and car-
ried the values of everything down.

The wholesale price of the best Beau-
ties was $12 per dozen. An occasional
sale at higher prices is heard of, but a
fair average for the best Beauties and
Hadleys would be 75 cents each. All
roses held their top quotations up to
Saturday afternoon; then the carnation
flood was at its height and everything
was affected adversely, although roses
felt the strain least of all cut flowers.
There was no surplus of roses, even if
one house received over 100 boxes De-
cember 23 and one grower shipped in
nearly 50,000 flowers that day. Some
grand Hadley brought record figures
and the specialties and novelties were
all absorbed.

There was no shortage of orchids, but
a good many of the flowers should have
been cut and shipped a week earlier.
Gardenias were low in price, breaking
Sunday night to $3 a dozen for quality
that brought $4 and $5 earlier in the
week. One could buy good lilies for 10
cents December 24. Valley did not rec-
ognize the holiday season. There were
few mums left, but more than enough
for the demand.

Violets once more demonstrated the
result of pickling. Good flowers brought
$1 to $1.50 all the -week, but for the
salted stuff there was no sale at all.
Cut poinsettias sold at from $2 per
dozen up, but there were too many
small plants and hundreds of these re-
main unsold. Callas were scarce, and
easily brought $2 per dozen. Narcissi
were abundant; few brought 40 cents a
bunch. There was far too much stevia.
Sweet peas moved sluggishly and even
$1.50 per hundred was realized with diffi-
culty.

The weather was ideal for plant de-
livery; only one severe day made wrap-

ping necessary. At noon on Christmas
day few retailers had any plants left.
Plant growers had booked orders for
everything they had in flower and were
on Easy street long before the holidays.
Never before were so many combina-
tion baskets and boxes of plants sold
and prices were the best ever received
for them.

Various Notes.

The bowling club opens its season at
Thumm's alleys December 28 with a
membership of ten.

Roman .T. Irwin 's office now is deco-
rated with three moose heads, the last
trophy the largest of the trio. But Mr.
Irwin does not let hunting interfere
with business. He has everything cut
and dried for a happy and prosperous
new year.

Mr. Russin, Sr., of Russin & Hanfling,
is reported seriously ill with appendi-
citis.

Charles Lenker, of Freeport, L. I., is
critically ill with pneumonia.

J. 11. Small & Sons had a large deco-
ration last week at the Hotel Somerset,
Boston. Twelve of the SLmall staff were
kept busy there for several days.

Among the visitors last week were
A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, and Robert
Craig, of Philadelphia.

M. Aronowitz, of the Barclay Nursery,
escaped death miraculously last week,
falling twenty-five feet down an ele-
vator shaft and rescued by a human
chain. ^Mr. Aronowitz was severely in-
jured and was confine<l to his room
through the busy Christmas season.

.Jack Trepel's new store in Brooklyn
is one of the beauty spots there.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. made a
Christmas gift of ten per cent of the
salaries of all its employees and an-
nounced its intention of granting this
encouragement twice yearly, in January
and July.

Oscar Hauschild is manager of the flo-
rists' department at the Hotel McAlpin.

The death of Samuel Snyder is re-
ported in this week's obituary column.

J. Austin Shaw.

Medina, O. — As an outlet for their
greater production, Hammerschmidt &
Clark have purchased the store of the
Gilbo Floral Co., at Akron.

Ann Arbor, Mich. — Under the name
of the Kodak Florist a handsomely
equipped flower store was opened Decem-
ber 22 in the Nickels Arcade. The store
is owned by the Amateur Finishing Syn-
dicate, Inc., R. D. MacNett, treasurer.
The equipment and stock for the store
were drawn from the Chicago market.

Danville, Ind. — Four and a half years
ago Mrs. B. Howell disposed of her
greenhouses and residence to an Illi-
noisan, who was to pay for the business
in installments. The purchaser, how-
ever, failed to settle the notes and now
Mrs. Howell has been compelled to take

DISEASES OF SWEET PEAS.

[Oontlnned from pace 18.]

ened appearance of the roots and of the
stem nearest the ground that some
workers have mistaken this disease for
the well-known streak disease. Streak,
however, is a stem disease. The
thielavia disease, as already stated, is
not a stem but a root disease.

The fungus Thi-.'lavia basicola is a
common source of seed-bed trouble in
tobacco and trucking districts in the
United States. Plants infected with
Thielavia basicola do not quickly die;
they may linger for a long time, or in-
deed sometimes throughout the entire
growing season. However, such infected
plants remain dwarfed and are prac-
tically useless for flower production.

Boot Knot or Nematode.

The disease called root knot or nema-
tode, Heterodera radicicola, is charac-
terized by swellings on the roots. These
are either small swellings formed singly,
in pairs, or in strings, thus giving the
afifected root a beaded condition, or the
swellings may be so large as to bo mis-
taken for root nodules. However, these
galls should not be mistaken for the
normal root nodules, because the latter
are lohcd an(i are attached at one end,
whereas the root gall produces a swell-
ing of the entire surface of the part
affected. Infected plants usually linger

disease is introduced with infected ma-

Mosaic Disease.

Of all the greenhouse diseases, none
c)iallcnges so mucli the skill and atten-
tion of the grower as mosaic. The
great difficulty with mosaic is that we
do not yet know the cause, although
every indication points to its being a
disease which is being induced by a
specific parasite. Serious as this dis-
ease is, it may be kept in check, pro-
vided, of course, the grower recognizes
certain fundamental facts. Mosaic is
carried from diseased to healthy plants
by the bites of insects. Aphids, espe-
cially, are great carriers of mosaic. Or-
dinarily winter-flowering sweet peas are
not sown directly in the benches in the
house. The seeds, as a rule, are at

first sown in pots, which are kept in a
coldframe outdoors. The seedlings, as
they grow up, are open to attacks of
the green aphid and several other in-
sects, which carry the germ from neigh-
boring older sweet pea plants. As the
young seedlings are taken into the
house to be planted permanently on
the benches, the disease is introduced
with them. In most instances some of
the aphids are also brought in. These
soon begin to reproduce and to estab-
lish themselves in the greenhouse. In
the meantime, too, the transplanted
seedlings are beginning to show defi-
nite symptoms of mosaic, and the trou-
ble is now spread about by the new
broods of these plant lice.

Protecting Plants from Mosaic.

It is obvious, therefore, that if in-
stead of allowing the potted plants to
remain outdoors until they are ready
to be taken indoors, they be kept from
the beginning in a protected cold house,
they will remain free and non-infected.
In bringing in clean plants there will
be no mosaic to bother us. This is in-
deed simple and is the only way, as
far as is known, to control mosaic on
indoor sweet peas.

Mosaic is readily distinguished by a
yellow mottling on the leaves, present-
ing in some instances a beautiful mo-
saic structure; hence the name of the
disease. This, however, is not the only
symptom. Diseased plants exhibit a
curling of the leaves, resembling the
curling induced by the green aphids,
but in this case the plant lice do not
curl the sweet pea leaves. Mosaic
makes its appearance when the seed-
lings are from three to four weeks old.
Often the trouble is so bad and the
curling so pronounced that the plants

diseased plants continue to grow, with
the disease keeping pace, but even in
this case the affected host is useless, as
far as commercial purposes are con-

twisted and are borne on short, crooked
peduncles.

England. In this country the disease is
common on greenhouse sweet peas, and
outdoors during wet seasons. Ordinar-
ily, however, in small garden lots, and
especialh' where the plants do not re-
ceive any water, the disease is prac-
tically unimportant, since the attack is
usually mild during the active season,
but becomes somewhat more extensive
when the plants have passed all use-
fulness.

To control mildew, spray with a solu-
tion of potassium sulphide, also known
as livor of sulphur, one ounce in three
gallons of water. Some growers merely
coat the pipes with a paste made of
flowers of sulphur, which seems equally
oflfcctive in controlling mildew. Where
fumigation is done it should be at-
tended to carefully. On cool nights or
early in the morning is the time to
fumigate.

Boot Bum and Bud Drop.

Root burn may be induced by the ex-
cessive use of wood ashes applied with
the manure. It is not uncommon for
growers to use wood ashes at the rate
of 1,500 pounds to 4,500 square feet of
bed space. This would be equivalent to
nearly seven and one-half tons per
acre. Under such conditions the roots
actually Inirn up because of the strong
alkalinity of the soil. Moreover, hard-
wood ashes contain about thirty per
cent of caustic lime and from five to
twelve per cent of potash. Both of
these elements in excess in soil render
it too alkaline for plant growth. To
remedy this trouble, use acid phosphate
followed by a good drenching of water.
This will help to neutralize the alka-
linity and restore the balanced food
ration.

As the name bud drop implies, flower
buds affected by this disease turn yel-
low at an early age and drop off. This

drop should not be confused with the
drop produced by the anthracnose dis-
ease. In the latter case the flower de-
velops into a normal spike, but is at-
tacked soon by the fungus Glomerella
rufomaculans, which girdles it at a
point of attachment between the flower
and the peduncle. Here the flower often
drops off, leaving behind the beheaded
peduncle. In the latter case, however,
the minute young flower bud never de-
velops; instead, it turns yellow and
drops off. There seems to be no doubt
that the drop is induced by an unbal-
anced condition of food elements in the
soil. This may occur in a soil that has
been excessively fed or in a soil that
is lacking in plant food. The disease
may be readily remedied by the appli-

Sterilizing the SoiL

Steam sterilization in the greenhouse
is the best means of making a soil safe
for sweet peas. Much has already been
said and written on how to steam-ster-
ilize soil and on the advantages derived
from the operation. Prospective grow-
ers will do well to install a heating
plant with facilities to generate steam.
The establishment of such a plant will
more than pay for itself, as it will put
on a sound basis the safe and profitable
growing of all greenhouse crops.

Where steam facilities are lacking,
the formaldehyde treatment is the next
best means of soil sterilization. Dis
solve one pint of pure formaldehyde,
sold as forty per cent pure in all drug
stores, in twenty gallons of water. With
a watering can apply one gallon of the
solution to every square foot of bed
space. This soil treatment is usually
employed a week to ten days before
planting.

burn, and that was when anything
would have burned.

My own lone seedling of Firebird is
also a good grower and multiplier. It
has the Firebird shape, but is a little
smaller. Its foliage is exceptionally
good, and the color is unique, a pure
cochineal.

Ottawa Improved has delighted us all
summer. We had never grown it before.
There are few reds that can equal it,
and we doubt if any really excel it as
all-round bedding cannas.

red. The one is about as good as the
other. If there is any difference,
Dragon has the preference.

Wawa, though usually classed with
the pinks, is really almost a pure coral
red. It is dwarf, distinct in color, free
in bloom, a good doer, and one of the
real top-notchers. We know of no other
canna of its color.

Crimson Giant is all that its name im-
plies. It would give satisfaction any-
where, except for its one weakness, that
it fades too easily in our hottest, driest
weather.

Triumph is much on the order of
Meteor and does as well in every way
with us. In color it has more of a yel-
lowish tinge than Meteor, making it a
shade lighter scarlet.

Olympic is a rich oriental red. It is
not so dazzling as the scarlets and crim-
sons, but it has such large flowers, pro-
duced in such large heads and so con-
stantly, that it would be hard to im-
agine a better canna. It is different
from the others and never fails to at-
tract attention. It is sure to become
one of the really popular cannas.

Pennsylvania, Uncle Sam and Louisi-
ana are old varieties that have never
been superseded. They are as good as
anything we have today. Their weak-
ness is that they carry their flowers too
high above the foliage.

Bronze-Leaved Beds.

We still believe that New York is the
best of the bronze-leaved reds for this
locality. It has a better color and bet-
ter foliage than King Humbert. It does
not crop as does King Humbert, and
this means much in a canna.

William Saunders is another canna
that is better in every respect than King
Humbert, which it much resembles. It
blooms much more freely and has bet-

ter foliage, and the flower is fully as
good.

Conowingo resembles David Harum,
but has a larger flower and is an im-
provement in other respects. It is a
great bedding canna, especially for
parks where a constant sheet of bloom
is desired.

Hon. Benjamin F. Howell is similar
to King Humbert, for which it is often
sold. The flowers are smaller, however,
and it will produce three times as many
of them. It is also a much better mul-
tiplier.

Remarkable is taller than the other
reds with bronze leaves. It is a car-
mine-scarlet, decidedly different in shade
from the others and not so pleasing to
us. Yet it is attrafetive and a good
doer.

Eastern Beauty may be described as
a pinkish salmon-red. It has good red-
bronze foliage and is a free bloomer.
It is not one that we would recommend
where only two or three kinds are
grown, but for variety it is excellent.

LAW ON POISONOUS PLANTS.

To charge a person with legal liability
for injury to another arising from the
presence of a poisonous plant growing
on the former's premises, it must ap-
pear that he was guilty of carelessness
in permitting it to grow under such cir-
cumstances that it was apt to cause
injury to others rightfully on the prem-
ises. This is the substance of the hold-
ing of the New York Supreme court in
a recent case. In this case the plain-
tiff, while placing flowers on her hus-
band's grave in the cemetery grounds
of the defendant, was poisoned by poi-
son ivy growing on the grave, and was
denied recovery because it did not ap-
pear that the cemetery association was
chargeable with notice of the existence
of the ivy on the grave, although a flo-
rist testified that, judging from the
growth, it had been on the grave about
two months. The court said:

"The defendant is not shown to liave
violated the rule of reasonable care,
which I think is all that the law im-
posed upon it. The courts should be
extremely cautious, it seems to me, not
to lay down any new rule, or enlarge
any old one, so as to extend the lia-
bility of those who own or control land,
for the presence of poisonous plants
upon their property. So far as I know,
poison ivy and poison sumach are the
only common plants which are poisonous

to the touch. Poison sumach grows
chiefly in swampy places, where its in-
accessibility prevents persons from ap-
proaching it with anything like the fre-
quency with which they may encounter
poison ivy. * * « Poison ivy may
be found along the roadside in nearly
all the rural parts of New York. If
the traveler on the highway is to have
a right of action against the munici-
pality because it leaves this shrub there
to poison his legs, or an action against
the farmer for allowing poison ivy to
grow on a wall which the wayfarer
leans against, a novel and interesting,
not to say onerous, class of negligence
suits will speedily be developed."

The Supreme court dissented from the
decision, however, on the ground that
plaintiff being upon the grounds of
the cemetery association by its invita-
tion, for a lawful purpose, she had the
right to assume that, in the care of the
graves, the association had removed all
poisonous growths.

The judge cited an English case where
the owner of a yew tree was held re-
sponsible for the death of a horse, which
had browsed the limbs of the tree over-
hanging the premises of the owner of
the horse. S.

Secretarj'-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

In spite of the restrictions, considerable
quantities of seeds of various kinds are
coming in via Rotterdam.

The cold weather stopped shipments
of onion sets, but prices hold firm and a
heavy demand is looked for from south-
ern states after the first of the year.

Beaks and peas are now practically
out of the market. Larger seed houses
are reported as paying as high as $10
and $12 for green pod and wax beans.

The misbranding bill, to which The
Review has called attention, now be-
fore Congress, is to be amended so that
seeds and plants indistinguishable by
their appearance will be exempted from
its provisions.

Most of the larger seed houses are
quoting prices on corn, beans and peas
on a pound basis by the cental system
this year, instead of by the old method
of making quotations on a basis of
pecks and bushels.

There is but little cliangc in the
spinach seed situation. The only ship-
ments which arrive in this country come
from France and England, Holland not
yet having raised tlic ban on exporta
tion. Seed is now selling at $1 per
pound.

A. H. GooDwix, of the W. W. Barnard
Co., Chicago, is spending the holidays at
West Baden, Ind. Arnold Ringier is at
Excelsior Springs, Mo., and Fred Lemke
is visiting relatives at Milwaukee. As a
result W. W. Barnard himself is working

nounced their intention of sharing

this firm's existence. At the same time
many salary increases were announced.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, re-
ports a heavy demand for Leonard's
Narrow Grain Evergreen corn from
both the canners and the seed trade.

The consensus of the Western Can-
ners' meeting in Chicago, December 19
and 20, was that all canned goods will
advance in price because of the higher
growing cost and the advance in the
cost of labor and cans. Among the seed
firms represented at the meeting were
the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago; the W.
W. Barnard Co., Chicago; Everett B.
Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn., and S.
D. Woodruff & Co., New York city.

The bulb trade was specially inter-
ested in the report in The Review last
week that the Holland firm of Langhout
& Co. had taken into partnership Ed-
ward H. Goldenstein, formerly in charge
of the bulb department of Vaughan's
Seed Store. For a dozen years the
Dutch exporters have been steadily in-
creasing their efforts to monopolize the
trade in this country, several having re-
cently established permanent branch
offices in New York, but this is the first
time a Holland house has admitted an
American bulb man as a resident part-
ner.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.

Provisions of the Contract.

The Texas Court of Civil Appeals has
handed down a decision affecting the

liability of a corporation for claimed
breach of a contract relating to a sale
of onion sets (Chicago Set & Seed Co.
versus Texas Seed & Floral Co. and
Robinson Seed & Plant Co., 187 South-
western Reporter, 747).

The Robinson company, in 1911,
agreed to buy 2,000 bushels of onion
sets from the Chicago company, under
a written contract, whereby the latter
agreed to grow and to hold for ship-
ment to the former the stated quantity
of dark red, yellow and white onion sets,
at $1.30, $1.20 and $1.60 per bushel,
respectively. Payment was to be made

taken previously to receipt of new crop.
It was also provided that the Chicago
company should not be liable for dam-
age to, or loss of, the sets grown to fill
the contract, unless due to the com-
pany's negligence, and that delivery
might be withheld if the buyer should
be overdue on any amount due the seller.

Buyer Breaks; Seller Sues.

The order covered by the contract
was approved by the Chicago company,
and the Eobinson company later speci-
fied an apportionment of the 2,000
bushels among the three varieties of
onion sets mentioned in the contract.
While the (Chicago company was harvest-
ing the sets, in August, the buyer noti-
fied it that it had gone out of business,
returning the buyer's copy of the con-
tract. The Cfiicago company replied with
a refusal to cancel, and notified the de-
faulting company that the sets would be
stored for its account, and afterwards
notified the Texas Seed & Floral Co.,
which in the meantime had absorbed the
Eobinson company, that the Chicago
company would attempt to hold it, the
Texas company. The sets were disposed
of to outsiders at the best advantage
and suit was brought against the Rob-
inson and the Texas companies, to re-
cover damages for refusing to accept
delivery of the subject of the contract.
The trial court rendered judgment
against the Texas company, which ap-
pealed to the Court of Civil Appeals,
where the judgment was affirmed, that
court deciding the following points of
law, which should prove of special inter-
est to seedsmen:

Plaintiff Wins; Points of Law.

The buyer was not entitled to repudi-
ate the contract on the ground that it
was not mutually binding — an essential
element of every business contract —
merely because it was provided that the
sale was "subject to crop." The court
holds that this provision did not relieve
the seller of duty to use reasonable ef-
fort to grow a crop sufficient to fill the
contract, merely guarding against a
crop failure due to natural causes and
beyond the seller's control. "It is a
well recognized rule that contracts
should provide against difficulties and
hardships, and the hardship should be
anticipated; if not, the party will not
be excused from performance, but held
to his contract."

For similar reasons, the contract was
not invalid because it provided for re-
lease of the seller from liability for loss
or damage not due to its negligence.

But even if it could be said that the
contract was originally invalid for want
of mutuality, this was cured when the
Chicago company had grown the crop

taken previously to receipt of new crop.
It was also provided that the Chicago
company should not be liable for dam-
age to, or loss of, the sets grown to fill
the contract, unless due to the com-
pany's negligence, and that delivery
might be withheld if the buyer should
be overdue on any amount due the seller.

Buyer Breaks; Seller Sues.

The order covered by the contract
was approved by the Chicago company,
and the Kobinson company later speci-
fied an apportionment of the 2,000
bushels among the three varieties of
onion sets mentioned in the contract.
While the Chicago company was harvest-
ing the sets, in August, the buyer noti-
fied it that it had gone out of business,
returning the buyer's copy of the con-
tract. The Cfiicago company replied with
a refusal to cancel, and notified the de-
faulting company that the sets would be
stored for its account, and afterwards
notified the Texas Seed & Floral Co.,
which in the meantime had absorbed the
Kobinson company, that the Chicago
company would attempt to hold it, the
Texas company. The sets were disposed
of to outsiders at the best advantage
and suit was brought against the Rob-
inson and the Texas companies, to re-
cover damages for refusing to accept
delivery of the subject of the contract.
The trial court rendered judgment
against the Texas company, which ap-
pealed to the Court of Civil Appeals,
where the judgment was aflSrmed, that
court deciding the following points of
law, which should prove of special inter-
est to seedsmen:

Plaintiff Wins; Poirits of Law.

The buyer was not entitled to repudi-
ate the contract on the ground that it
was not mutually binding — an essential
element of every business contract —
merely because it was provided that the
sale was "subject to crop." The court
holds that this provision did not relieve
the seller of duty to use reasonable ef-
fort to grow a crop sufficient to fill the
contract, merely guarding against a
crop failure due to natural causes and
beyond the seller's control, "it is a
well recognized rule that contracts
should provide ugainnt difliculties and
hardships, and the hardship should be
anticipated; if not, the party will not
be pxeused from porforniance, but hold
to his contract.' '

For similar reasons, the contract was
not invalid becauso it nrovided for re-
leaso of till* Hcller from liability for loss
or daniB|{f not rluc to its ne|{li|fcincu.

But even if it rould bo said that the
contract whs originally invalid for want
of mutuality, this was cured when the
Cbteago company had grown the crop I

DUTCH VALLEY?

The quantities of valley pips arriving
at New York on the steamers of the
Holland-America line, while osten-
sibly of Dutch production, lead to the
suspicion that the British restrictions
are not so close as interested persons in
the United States had been led to be-
lieve. For several weeks each boat has
brought valley pips, the consignments
on the Noordam, which filed its manifest

ber 18, being as follows:

SEED IMPORTATIONS.

"During the fiscal year 1916," says
the report of W. A. Taylor, chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, "there was a
gradual increase in the number of sam-
ples of seed submitted for test to the
Washington seed laboratory, as well as
to the cooperative branch laboratories.
Owing to the unusual conditions in Eu-
rope, the normal supply of winter rape
seed was unavailable, and much other
seed was imported under the name of
rape. Seed purchased in the open mar-
ket as winter rape showed that seeds
of seven other types of plants, all un-
suitable for forage purposes, were being
sold under this name. Teats of imported
seeds have shown that large quantities
of red and crimson clover seed brought
into the United States germinated so
poorly as to be of little or no agricultural
value, and that much of the orchard grass
seed contained but a small proportion of
good seed, the balance being mostly
chaflF. The seed importation act has now
been amended, prohibiting the entry of
such low grade seed. Through the en-
forcement of the seed importation act a
large amount of low grade red clover
seed offered for import into the United
States has been recleaned and the
screenings destroyed under customs su-
pervision.

"The amount of important crop seeds
imported in the last year varied greatly
from that imported in previous years.
Only about one-half as much alfalfa seed
was imported as in either of the three

LAWN TROUBLES IN OREGON.

I made a new lawn last spring, but the
first part of the season was so wet and
cold that the new grass did not make
much growth until late in the summer.
Then, toward the end of August, after a
nice sod was formed, part of the lawn
started to turn brown. This was not
caused by lack of moisture, for I had
an abundant supply of water and used
all that was needed. I also fed the grass
with lawn fertilizer, but still there were
black spots on the leaves, somewhat sim-
ilar to the black spot on roses. The
grass now seems to be killed to the
ground and some of the roots also are
gone.

The part of the lawn referred to was
seeded with blue grass. One cause of
the trouble, no doubt, is the poorness of
the soil, but adjacent parts of the lawn,
seeded with other kinds of grass, look
fairly well. Only the blue grass is in
really bad condition. Also, there are a
great many unusually large angleworms
in the soil and they appear to be a se-
rious pest, working up numerous little
humps in the soil and putting the lawn
in poor shape. Can you tell me how to
get rid of them? Lime seems to kill
them when it hits them, but if I use too
much of the lime it may harm the lawn,
as the soil is somewhat sandy.

F. W.— Ore.

The behavior of the biue grass and the
presence of angleworms of unusual size
would indicate that the soil is sour, and,
as it is somewhat sandy, the drainage
must be poor. If not well drained and
well fertilized, the soil will not grow
blue grass satisfactorily. It will be dif-
ficult to hurt the grass by applying
ground lime rock, at the rate of at least
two sacks to the lot, but first be sure of
good drainage. Apply the lime dust
now. To fertilize, use pulverized sheep
manure in the spring, say 400 pounds to
the lot. 'By "lot" is meant the average
lawn area on a lot 50x100 feet, with a
residence on it.

It will be useless to try to exterminate
the angleworms. They are not harmful
and bad lawns are not caused by the

worms. They appear in great numbers
when the soil is sour and their presence
is a pretty sure indication of acidity.
Try the litmus paper test and then there
will be no question about it. Blue grass
is sensitive to acidity of the soil and
will not do well where other grasses may
thrive. Get the soil in good condition
and the worms will not cause any
trouble. S. W. W.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

There probably never has been a
larger quantity of fine stock in the mar-
ket than at this Christmas, and yet the
demand has been so heavy that whole-

salers have had to cut their orders in
half in many cases; of course, some of
them have had to cut out orders alto-
gether. The out-of-town demand has
been unprecedented and the same may
be said of the local. Among roses, long-
stemmed Russells have been fine and in
many cases have taken the place of
Beauties, which have been exceedingly
scarce. There has also been a fine lot
of long reds. Milady, Hoosier Beauty and
others, which have helped out with the
scarcity of good red carnations. "Hot-
house reds," as they are locally termed,
have been among the hardest of all to
get, and even white and light pink have
been short. In field carnations the case
was hopeless, the frost having checked
the flowers' opening. Until the last,
telegrams arrived at the wholesale
houses and hundreds of dollars of busi-
ness had to be turned down. Northern
shipments fell off at the same time,
which made matters worse. The same
conditions applied to all other outdoor
stock. Cecile Brunner roses from in-
doors helped a good deal with the smaller
flowers.

There was a fair supply of orchids,
which sold well. Roman hyacinths were

sold in place of valley when they could
be obtained, but even these were scarce.
There were some gardenias and a few
camellias, which sold well. Holly began
to run short in the middle of the week,
but large shipments came in and eased
the situation.

Plants were fairly plentiful, but out-
side of cyclamens and poinsettias the
rniality was not so good as usual. Only
a few of the newly imported azaleas
made the market, but there were some
hold-overs that looked well, though not
quite so full of blooms as the new ones.

Various Notes.

Albert Knopf, of the Bedondo Floral
Co., has been down again with a severe
cold and the grip. At last hearing, Mr.
I^ordcn was expecting liim to call at the
store, so he evidently was much better.
The early part of the week a great deal

fidvance orders for Christmas were

Several establishments took extra
spac« to accommodate their large stocks
of potted plants .and there were antici-
pations of a record holiday business.
Christmas on a Monday complicated the
delivery problem to a considerable ex-
tent, Vtut special arrangements were
maile by the larger firms to facilitate
matters as much as possible.

Flowering plants are not so plentiful
as the retailers had hoped for, and a
close clean-up is practically assured.
The growers have been holding back
cut stock until the end of the week, and
heavy offerings are expected Saturday,
December 23. Liberal supplies will be
welcomed, as substitutes probably will
have to be made for potted plants.

is being offered and great quantities of
evergreens find an outlet. There is a
good-sized cut of carnations and prices
were easier December 21, the date of
this report.

Some chrysanthemums are included in
the holiday offerings, but they do not
constitute an important item, as the
large flowers are about off the market
and the Chinese mums are getting rather
trashy. A limited .number of pompons
still sell fairly well. Quite a lot of bulb-
ous stock is offered, including several
kinds of narcissi, a large cut of freesias,
a few anemones and some early daffo-
dils. The latter will be plentiful in
about two weeks. Poinsettias naturally
are the principal feature of the holiday
displays. Of these large shipments of
cut stock have arrived from southern
California, and more local stock is of-
fered than in former years. The potted
plants were mqstly grown locally. In
the temporary holiday stores potted
cyclamens, cinerarias, primulas, bego-
nias, poinsettias, ferns and other plants
of that nature are handled exclusively.

Beauty roses are rather scarce and the
shortage is made more acute by a heavy
outside demand from Los Angeles. Fine
Russell roses are shown, and they are
selling in place of Beauties to a con-
siderable extent.

Various Notes.

N. Peterson, one of the leading carna-
tion growers in the San Francisco bay
district, has about 50,000 carnation cut-
tings in the sand at his place at San
Mateo. He reports more advance orders
than ever before.

The E. W. McLellan Co. has a large
cut of Russell roses, which are about the
finest ever seen here. They have ex-
ceptionally large blooms ard stems up
to four feet in length. These are appre-
ciated by the trade as substitutes for
American Beauties, as well as for their
own sake. The McLellan Co. also has a
fine cut of freesias.

F. C. Burns, of San Rafael, reports
good business in that city, there being
much funeral work in addition to the
Christmas rush.

C. Kooyman has his new store on
Bush street nicely arranged and is mak-
ing good use of the opportunity for im-
proved display work which it affords.
He reports business in excess of that of
the corresponding period of last year.

Among the potted plants brought in
by E. James was a nice lot of heather.
Mr. James was a large contributor of
cyclamens, begonias, primulas, etc., his
stock showing good average quality.

To facilitate the handling of Christ-
mas business, the Art Floral Co. rented
a temporary store on Mason street, near
Post street, in addition to its Powell
street establishment and store in the
St. Francis hotel.

To provide the necessary space to
handle the large stock of plants, !Mac-
Rorie & McLaren took the store adjoin-
ing their retail shop on Powell street for
the week preceding Christmas and
placed a large sign across the front of
the two places.

Pelicano, Rossi & Co. found it neces-
sary to secure more space to accommo-

Charles F. Shellgrain, manager of J.
B. Boland 's shop, 60 Kearny street, says
the holiday trade is the best in the his-
tory of the business,

A large consignment of flowering
plants was received at the Emporium
flower stand for the holiday trade, much
of the stock being grown by Charles C.
Navlet himself, who operates the de-
partment. Manager Picetti looks for a
close clean-up, with the holiday business
showing a nice increase over last De-
cember's.

At Joseph's store a specialty was
made of fancy holiday baskets, for
which the demand was gratifying, ac-
cording to Manager F. J. Bertrand.

Mrs. R. E. Darbee reports a satisfac-
tory Christmas shipping business.

Podesta & Baldocchi's store was one
of the show places in the downtown re-
tail district a few days before Christ-
mas. An elaborate display of seasonable
stock caused manv a busv shopper to
halt. • ' ^11

This is the first Christmas of Avan-

that sales to date have exceeded their
t'xpectations and made a record which

growing on his Humboldt county nurs-
^y. He has imported from Holland to

The most rapturously and stiikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

Lewis, one of the trustees of the society
and state senator-elect, offered to use
his best efforts to enact a law which will
protect the interests of nurserymen and
landscape workers. It appears that in
case payment is not made for shrubbery
or ornamentals planted on property,
there is no recourse under present laws.

The Florists' Review

Dbcbmbeb 28, 1916.

No lien, either on the real estate or
plants, is possible, and once planted
they cannot be removed if not paid for.
A committee consisting of J. G. Bacher,
Julius Dossche and Guy M. Pilkington
will have charge of preparing a suitable
law and getting it passed by the legis-
lature, which meets early in January.

Various Notes.

The Sellwood Greenhouses, located at
649 Nehalem avenue, were damaged by
fire early on the morning of December
14. The boiler house and some of the
glass was destroyed. The damage to
the buildings was covered by insurance
and the owner, "William Grundig, will
not lose anything. The chief loss was
to the stock of plants by fire and subse-
quent chill, which was owned by C. J.
Larson and Henry Pfeifer, lessees of
the range. They estimate their loss at
$500.

R. Keil, a well known grower, was a
recent visitor. He now is located at
Los Angeles, being connected with a
firm that has greenhouses twenty miles
out and a store in the city. He said he
was well pleased with the outlook in his
present location. S. W. W.

SEATTLE. WASH.

The Market.

The flower stores are bright with
heavy stocks of flowers, plants, etc., for
the Christmas trade. The storekeepers
have pleased, hopeful faces, and every-
one is busy in expectation of the best
Christmas known in the trade here for
years. Let us hope that their expecta-
tions may be realized. And there is
every prospect that they will, for most
people have more money to spend than
has been the case for several years, and
the florists will surely get their share.

Business has been good during the last
week, although the weather has been
none too favorable for shoppers. There
is a good supply of the usual flowers,
with the exception of orchids and valley.
At this writing ihrysantheniums still are
fairly plentiful. Roses are in excellent
quality; carnations are not so abundant
as in some years. Of pot plants there is
a good supply, but not too many for the
Christmas requirements. Few novelties
have been seen, but skimmias, which are
not often seen here, are lending an at-
traction to one of the leading stores.
There seems to be an abundance of poin-
settias, cut and potted, good, bad and in-
different. A few local violets are of-
fered at some of the enterprising stores.

Various Notes.

Carl Melby rented a store a few doors
from his place on Pike street, to handle
his Christmas trade.

From the number of Christmas trees
on pale in every corner and vacant lot
downtown, one would say that the sup-
ply is easily adequate. T. W.

SPANISH IRISES.

I have 5,000 Spanish iris bulbs and
have heard that they are hard to flower
in this part of the country. I should
like to liave your advice on their treat-
ment. J. D. W.— Mass.

If for outdoor culture, cover the iris
bulbs three or four inches deep. They
are perfectly hardy and every bulb will
flower unless you have wet, poorly
drained land. Outdoor flowering time

NURSERY NEWS.

AMEBICAM ASSOCIATION OF KUSSERYMEN.
President, John "Watson, Newark, N. Y. ; Vice-
president, Lloyd C. Stark, Louisiana, Mo.; Secre-
tary and General Manager, Curtis Nye Smith,
Boston, Mass.; Treasurer, Peter Youngers,
Geneva, Neb.

The misbranding bill now before Con-
gress, to which The Eeview has called
attention, is to be amended so as to ex-
empt from its provisions nursery stock
of such character as is indistinguishable
by its appearance.

E. S. WELCH INCORPORATES.

Tlie Mount Arbor Nurseries, Shenan-
doah, la., has been incorporated with an
authorized capital stock of $300,000, of
which $200,000 was paid up and issued
at the time of organization. The officers
of the corporation are: President, E. S.
Welch; vice-president and treasurer,
E. E. May; secretary, R. M. Gwynn;
superintendent, F. W. Welch; assistant
superintendent, R. N. Adair.

The purpose of incorporating the
Mount Arbor Nurseries is to perpetuate
the business.

The business was established in 1875
and came into the hands of E. S. Welch
in the spring of 1891. It has grown into
one of the largest wholesale nurseries in
the United States.

The rapid growth of the business has
been possible partly because of the fa-
vorable conditions and soil for the
growth of nursery stock, but especially
because of the efficient management of
the business. Since 1891 the business
has been owned and managed by E. S.
Welch. E. E. May, who becomes vice-
president and treasurer, is a Nebraskan
by birth, graduated from the State Uni-
versity of Nebraska, and was employed
for four seasons in the sales department
of D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, pre-
vious to locating at Shenandoah. R. M.
Gwynn, secretary, has been actively con-
ncfted with the management of the busi-
ness for the last seven years. He was
fornierlv cashier of the Shenandoah Na-
tional Bank. F. W. Welch, superin-

themselves mutuklly not to ship any plants, of
whatsoever nature, either directly or indirectly,

the intention of having the same sold at public
auction. They declare that they will have bro-
ken this agreement and will be considered as

auction if they should have any interest what-
soever, or should participate either directly or
indirectly, in the shipment of plants to the
United States of America or Canaxla for sale at
public auction.

2. They bind themselves to forfeit the sum of
500 guilders as a fine, whenever they break this

business, in the trade papers of the United States
and Canada, in such manner as Messrs. Koster
and Grootendorst, aforementioned, shall deem to
be in the interest of those concerned.

4. The fine, after being collected by H. L.
Maarschalk, following a breach of contract, shall
be divided by this party as follows:

producing evidence of the breach of this agree-
ment (whether this person is a party to this
contract or not), and 400 guilders to be divided
equally among those who signed the agreement,

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

There never before was so much
Christmas green sold as this year. The
demand was greater than the supply
and prices ruled considerably higher
than ever before. Poinsettias, ardisias,
begonias and other bright-berried and
blooming plants found ready sale at
good prices, while cut flowers were al-
most a luxury, because of the difficulty
in securing sufficient quantities and the
usual qualities. Eoses, carnations and bou-
vardiaa formed the principal items; then
came Easter lilies, stevias, Paper Whites,
orchids and violets. Funeral work has
continued heavy and the social calendar
contains numerous functions that augur
well for a busy period of decorative
work.

Various Notes.

Samuel Kesnick, with Joseph E. Kop-
pelman & Co., is still in the Homeopathic
hospital suffering from complications
following a severe cold.

Mrs. M. Max has returned from a two
months' business trip to San Francisco.

Lewis H. Meader, Jr., is manager of
the L. H. Meader Co. establishment at
75 Westminster street.

T. J. Johnston & Co. are preparing to
move in the next few days to their new
store on Washington street.

Some of the finest and largest poin-
settias seen in this market were produced
by Thoinas Curley, of Harkness street.

W. H. M.

Columbia City, Ind.— The City Gar-
dens and the Wagoner Floral Co. have
joined in establishing a flower store in
the Linvill building. The two parties
interested evidently decided to club to-
gether and split fifty-fifty.

Paulding, O. — Fred. Hawkins said:
"Business has been the best ever here;
sold out of everything, and the best of it
was my carnations were fine, with the
plants hanging full of flowers — the best
crop I ever had for Christmas. I had
no trouble getting $1.50 to $2 for carna-
tions and $2.50 to $10 for roses. Pot
plants sold on sight. All I had to do
was to wash the pots clean and if the
plants had a flower on them, they sold."

EVANSVrLLE, IND.

The CliriBtmas Trade.

From all indications, the business of
this Christmas broke all records. The
volume of business done was immense.
All kinds of plants and cut flowers sold
like hot cakes, from the moderate-priced
to the highest-priced stock. American
Beauties brought up to $14 per dozen,
Eussell $12, and other roses up to $5
per dozen. Red carnations made $2 per
dozen and pink and white $1.50 per
dozen. Some extra large azaleas sold
for $10 each; Cincinnati begonias went
at $3, and with baskets $5. Poinsettias,
bouvardias, ferns, Paper Whites, Ro-
man hyacinths, cherries and a large
number of other plants were the more
moderate-priced plants and sold out
clean. The weather was severe until
December 23, when it moderated. Sun-
day was warm, with bright sunshine, and
little wrapping was needed.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel & Sons had the big-
gest business they ever experienced.
They had a large force at work for sev-
eral days before Christmas getting the
plants in shape to send out. They had a
good supply of all kind of plants. There
were fine azaleas, some of which sold for
$10, begonias, poinsettias, Paper "Whites,
bouvardias, cyclamens, cherries, ferns
and mixed made-up pans, at all grices.
The rose and carnation cuts were large
— about 10,00D of each. Some orders
had to be turned down. This concern
pressed into service two moving vans,
in addition to their delivery cars, in
order to get out the orders on time.

C. L. Niednagel cut about 10,000 roses
during the week. He had fine Russell
roses, some with 4-foot stems. Killar-
ney and White Killarney and other roses
were good, too.

The William Blackman Floral Co.
force was busy throughout the week get-
ting ready for the rush, and December
23 George Blackman said they had too
much business. The large store force
handled the business well, considering
the great quantity of work done. This
company had large cuts of roses and car-
nations, but nevertheless had to buy
heavily. American Beauties brought up
to $14 per dozen, Russell $5 per dozen,
red carnations $2 per dozen, pink and
white $1.50 per dozen.

J. C. Elspermann reports the best
Christmas he ever had. He had a fine
cut of carnations, but even at that had
to buy a large quantity to fill the orders.

Christmas Business Best Ever.

Despite the extremely cold woatlior
that prevailed all of last week, the
flower and plant business did not seem
to suffer in the least; in fact, from what
I can learn, most of the retailers think
it the best Christmas ever experienced
by them. Stock was never more plenti-
ful, nor the quality better. Poinsettias
and cvclnniens wcro the loaders in pot
plants, while well filled and tastefully ar-
ranged baskets sold nicely. Roses were
fine and the demand for them good, with
Russell and Killarney taking the lead.
Carnations were good and brought good
prices. Taper Whites, sweet peas, vio-
lets and stevias were in abundance.
Holly, however, was scarce, and the
quality poor.

Various Notes.

"In anticipation of an unusual Christ-
mas rush, T loaded up extra heavily with
stock of every description, and I am
mighty glad that I did, as the quantity
of stock sold far exceeded my expecta-
tions," stated Lee Larman, the Fonte-
nelle hotel florist. He has one of the
neatest stores to be found in Omaha.

Miss Reba McNamara states that she
firmly believes the volume of business
done at Christmas was fifty to seventy-
five per cent ahead of last year's.

Creenhouse Heating.

SuBSCKiBEBS 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.

FOB LOW-PBESSXTBE STEAM.

Will you kindly tell me how my two
greenhouses should be piped for low-
pressure steam? The larger house, 28x
125, runs north and south. The side
walls are six feet high and contain three
feet of concrete and three feet of glass.
The North end is boarded; the south end
adjoins the boiler shed. In this house I
wish to maintain a temperature of 50
to 55 degrees.

Fifteen feet from the north end of the
house described, and on ground about
three feet higher, is the other house,
which is 22x60, running east and west.
It is nine feet high to the ridge. The
south wall is four feet high and is all
glass. The north wall is three feet high
and consists of one foot of boarding
above two feet of concrete. The west
end is boarded; the east end is all glass.
I want a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees
in this house, in zero weather, I have
nearly enough 2-inch pipe for the re-
turns. I also have some 2%-inch pipe
and valves which I wish to use in the
flows. E. F. C— Pa.

For heating a greenhouse 28x125, with
three feet of glass in the side walls, to
55 degrees in zero weather, we would
run a 2i4-inch flow about three feet be-
low the ridge and connect it at the
farther end of the house with eight 2-
inch returns. All of these may be on
the walls, or four of the returns may be
distributed under the benches. Wo
would prefer, however, to use twelve
114-iiich pipes as returns.

For the house 22x60, with four feet of
glass in one wall, to be heated to 65 de-
grees, we would also use eight 2-inch
or twelve li/4-inch returns, and either a
2%-inch or a 2-inch flow pipe. Since
there is no glass in the north wall, we
would use one less return on that side.
The main returns in each house should
be 2-inch.

Automatic air valves will be required
near the lower end of each coil, and
there should be gate valves at both ends
of one-half of the returns, as well as on
the main flow and return pipes.

CANNOT GET ENOUGH HEAT.

I am writing you for information
concerning the heating of my green-
houses, which are already piped for hot
water. The boiler is a Williamson un-
derfeed, 34 O. W. We are trying to heat
two houses, 32x90 and 21x60. They are
piped for 1,800 feet of radiation. The
pipe in the coils is 1%-inch. There are
two 3-inch outlet pipes for the larger
house; these are reduced to 2^-inch
and 2-inch where they empty into the
coils. The coils consist of eight pipes
on each side of the house, made up in.
two sections, and eight pipes under the
center bench. Two 2-inch main returns
run to the basement and enter a 3-inch
pipe just outside the boiler. The outlet
and inlet of the boiler are made for
5-inch pipes, but the steamfitter reduced

As we understand the inquiry, the
total amount of glass in both houses is
5,700 square feet and the combined
radiation in the two houses is 1,800
square feet. This, if properly installed,
should furnish a temperature of approx-

We infer that the description of the

only, and, as we understand it, there are
two 3-inch flow pipes, with a coil of
eight 1%-inch returns on each wall and
a third coil of eight pipes under the

that the wall coils are in two sections,

each about forty-two feet in length, and
each of these sections is fed by a 2-inch
pipe taken off from the main flow pipe.
The middle coil of eight pipes appears
to run the entire length of the house,
and the connecting flow and return pipes
are 2-inch, as are also the returns which
connect the two coils upon each wall
with the boiler. A 2-inch pipe will an-
swer for the flow or the return of a coil
of eight pipes forty-five feet long, but
when the coils are ninety feet long, and
in fact whenever they contain over 200
square feet of radiation, the connecting
flow and return pipes should be 2i^-inch,
unless the coils are fifteen feet or more
above the boiler.

Instead of using 1%-inch pipes for
the coils, we would prefer to run a coil
of six 2-inch pipes on each wall and a
similar coil under the middle bench,
supplying each coil by means of a 21/2-
inch flow pipe. One flow should be upon
each plate and the other three feet below
the ridge.

If there are two 3-inch main flows in
the house 32x90, we would think the
only change needed so far as the piping
is concerned is to use 2y2-inch connect-
ing flows and returns wherever there
are over 200 square feet of radiation in
the coils.

We are not familiar with the ratings
of the Williamson boilers, but if it is
not possible to heat the water in the
boner above 160 degrees, and if this
temperature drops quickly when the
drafts are closed, it would seem that
the boiler is too small for the radiation.
Whenever there is a poor circulation in
the coils, the water in the heater will
boil and often partly empty the system.

If we have the correct idea of the ar-
rangement of the coils, the amount of
radiation is ample for 60 degrees, and,
while larger connecting pipes for the
flows and returns would be desirable,
we are of the opinion that the main
trouble is in the boiler, and from the
statements made it appears to be too
small to heat the two houses. While
a good deal depends upon the area and
arrangement of the fire surface, we
would consider that to handle 1,800
square feet of radiation the boiler
should have a grate thirty inches in
diameter.

COAL-TAR PAINT ON PIPING.

1 am applying to you for help in trou-
ble. I bought some paint for the hot
water pipes in my greenhouse. In buy-
ing it I stated plainly the purpose for
which I wanted it. I used a part of it,
but when I fired up I found that it con-
tained creosote. The fumes from the
paint ruined almost everything in the
house. The lettuce was 'killed and all
the leaves fell from the begonias. I
opened all the ventilators and fired the
boiler till It was as hot as possible. I
also scraped and sandpapered the pipes,
but still, when I fire heavily, the odor is
strong. The paint almost put me out of
business. Is there any remedy? Could
I paint the pipes with something that
would counteract the effect of the creo-
sote, or must I just keepNpn firing?

"All four are
working fine"

Mr. von Boeselager has had a lot of exper-
ience with the "Detroit" Systems. He writes
as follows:

"At the present time I have four of your traps ia
use. For a while I had some trouble with two of
the trat)6, but since you sent your man around, who
advised me to change the piping to and from the
traps, as they were not put in right, I have had no
trouble. All four are working fine now. I like
the way you came up to adjust my trouble and I
wish to thank you."

Very likely a "Detroit" System would solve your condensation diflBculties.
It's worth while investigating. Let us send you "Watch Your Condensa-
tion"-Book No. 54.

When applied to the woodwork, neither J
time nor the use of surface applications
is likely to correct the difficulty.

The only way of which I am aware,
for correcting the trouble from the use
of coal-tar preparations on the pipes, is
to burn off the paint. Heating the pipes
with steam under pressure will help in
removing the creosote, but a long time
will be required and then the process
will not be complete. If the entire sur-
face of the pipes can be reached with a
gasoline torch, the paint can be removed
cheaply and effectually. Otherwise the
pipes should be taken out and passed
through the flames of a bonfire.

USINGER'S UTtEEANCES.

John and Robert Espy, of Brookville,
Pa., were out in the big woods to get a
shot at a deer.

When I called at the Red Rock
Rosery, Bradford, Pa., there was a good
display of Christmas plants. The season
had been so successful that a banner
holiday trade was expected.

Good azaleas were to be seen at the
store of G. Lawrence Graham, at Brad-
ford. There was a great scarcity of
these plants, especially the ones in a
salable condition.

The advertising merits of the electric
fountain were expounded by M. M. Dye,
of Salamanca, N. Y. There is hardly a
person, he says, who does not stop to
watch it. There seems to be an irresisti-
ble attraction in anything that moves.

A. H. Sharman, of Warren, Pa., had
his baskets of artificial goods ready
early, so that when the early shopper
went forth she found Mr. Sharman ready
for her with a good display of goods.

The Hortsts' Review

Decbmbbb 28, 1916.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Holiday Market.

The florists of Washington have com-
pleted the most successful lioliday busi-
ness in trade history — Christmas, 1916,
has proved to be a record-breaker.
Everything sold well, with red flowers
in all varieties leading. Prices gener-
ally were good and roses ranged from
$8 to $30 per hundred, and twice the lat-
ter price was paid for a few exception-
ally fine Mock and Radiance roses.

The notable feature of the business
was the marked scarcity of holly. The
market has always been flooded with
holly and Christmas greens, but this
year proved an exception. Crowfoot
wreathing was much in demand at from
5 to 8 cents. Christmas trees were high-
priced and not overplentiful.

Carnations cleaned up well at from $8
to $15 per hundred, and there were just
about enough sweet peas to go around
at $3 per hundred. Violets were plenti-
ful at $1.50 per hundred, but the demand
was slow. Mignonette now is quite
good and there is a fair sale for this
flower for table decorations. Narcissi
are more plentiful and in fair demand.
Easter lilies have been selling better
since the passing of chrysanthemums.

There was an exceptionally heavy de-
mand for potted plants. The sale of
poinsettias was good. Other ready sell-
ers were the potted yellow daisies of
the New England type, which brought
from 50 cents to $3 each. Azaleas
were scarce, although one house man-
aged to bring in about 1,000 plants at
the last moment. It is said that the
cyclamens and begonias were as fine as
have ever been seen here.

Various Notes.

Adolph Gude, of the Gude Bros. Co.,
who looks after the greenhouse end of
the business, struck the holidays just
right by bringing in something like 12,-
000 Richmond roses, of as good a quality
as one could desire. This enabled his
firm, when other roses were running
short, to supply these on all orders for
mixed roses when the orders were for
from $3 to $10.

The Washington Floral Co. is trying
out Anemone coronaria and Ranunculus
Turban. Mr. Loose states that apparent-
ly these are not good for forcing, as
fully seventy-five per cent rotted be-
fore bearing. The remainder are fair
and he has commenced cutting. The
Washington public does not go strong on
novelties.

John H. Small, Jr., and William F.
Gude have been selected by Chairman
Robert Harper for several places on the
various inaugural committees. These
two florists will play a prominent part
in the ceremonies incident to inducting
the President into office March 4.

MILWAUKEE.

The Holiday Business.

Christmas business in general was
good. A snow storm early Sunday put
a damper on business for a while, but,
withal, the day was good. The condi-
tions this year were peculiar. As Chrisf
mas came on Monday, it was hard to
figure out the working probabilities.

Roses were scarce, especially Russell
and red roses. The quality was fine and
some exceptionally fancy stock was sold.
Violets were scarce and order after
order was turned down; consequently
the price remained firm. The stock was
good and the sales were satisfactory.
Orchids sold well and brought $12 per
dozen straight. The supply was large
enough to meet the demand, but there
was a clean-up on this stock.

There were practically no sweet peas
in the market and the demand was not
satisfied to any appreciable degree.

The carnation situation was quite dif-
ferent from that of last year. The sup-
ply was larger and prices were not so
high. Last year was an exceptional one
and the clean-up was much better. How-
ever, there was not much stock held over
this year and the sales were satisfactory,
although prices were somewhat lower
than last year's. There was a limited
quantity of cut poinsettias in the mar-
ket, and these moved well. Plants were
unobtainable during the last week and
were scarce even the previous week.
There was a large quantity of shipments
sent out, but the extremely cold weather
froze so many shipments that the out-
of-town retailers were sadly put to it
to fill their orders on stock they had or-
dered and had every reason to expect.
Taken as a whole, the Christmas season
was good, despite the fact that the
weather was so cold that it was exceed-
ingly hard to make satisfactory de-
liveries.

Various Notes.

The retailers report a fine Christmas
trade and to enumerate each case would
be a repetition all along the line.

William Leverenz, of the Eleventh
Avenue Flower Store, was unfortunate
in that he was not able to participate
in Christmas festivities. He was taken
ill suddenly and Sunday, December 17,
was taken to the Milwaukee hospital,
where he underwent an operation be-
low his ear. On the following Wednes-
day, while delirious, Mr. Leverenz elud-
ed his nurse and escaped from the hos-
pital. Clad only in his night clothes, he
ran about four blocks in the snow before
he was returned to the hospital. His
condition at the present time is serious.
His friends in the trade wish him a
complete recovery in the shortest possi-
ble time.

We learn, unofficially, that Roy Ciir-
rie, of the Currie Bros. Co., and Miss
Trina Jens, formerly with the Holton &
Ilunkel Co., are going to be married .Jan-

The Clulstmas Business.

As far as can be seen, the Christmas
trade was in every way up to its usual
high standard. Commencing December
19, business began to be unusually brisk,
and a good, steady business continued
until the great rush of December 22 and
23. The worst snow storm of the winter
came December 22 and made deliveries
almost impossible. Train service was
greatly retarded and the heavy consign-
ments from eastern points did not arrive
until a late hour December 23. How-
ever, things straightened out by the
next morning and a good, brisk business
continued throughout Saturday. A large
display of potted plants was seen in
each flower store and the supply of cut
flowers was large. Christmas baskets
were offered in large numbers. The de-
mand for the smaller baskets of box-
woods, with artificial flowers, was heavy.

Some Beauties in the better grades
were in the market and a varied supply
of other red roses cleared easily. Red
carnations were of good quality and
sold well. Sunburst, Ophelia, Ward and
My Maryland also were in good supply
and sold at greatly advanced prices. Pink
Delight and White Wonder carnations
were especially fine and sold readily.
Violets moved well at $1.50 per hun-
dred; fancy cypripediums cleared easily.
Valley was plentiful, but the demand
was not large. Sweet peas of the
Spencer varieties were fine and sold
well, but the supply was not large. Paper
Whitea^and yellow narcissi were plenti-
ful and sold satisfactorily. Lilies were
plentiful and helped out considerably in
a large quantity of funeral work. Near-
ly all Christmas greens were sold out by
the night of December 22.

Oreenliouse Building.

Although the cost of building mate-
rials has been exceptionally high, a re-
port of the year's business by the local
office of the Lord & Burnham Co. shows
that building operations have been con-
siderably better than average.

Among recent orders from commercial
growers for new houses were those of
David J. Scott, of Corfu, N. Y.; James
J. Kelsey, of Rome, N. Y.; E. H. Bent-
ley, of Wellsville, N. Y.; Hudson & Co.,
of Holley, N. Y., and W. T. Shields &
Son, of Altoona, Pa. Edward Brock-
mann and Charles W. Curtis, of Ironde-
.quoit, N. Y., installed new boilers. The
city of Rochester and Cornell Univer-
sity have ordered new houses, the con-
tracts calling for complete erection, in
the spring.

The present outlook for 1917 business
is bright, notwithstanding the advance
in the cost of greenhouse materials dur-
ing the last year and the anticipated
further advance.

ROCHELLE

Our Square Paper Pots are worth 200 per cent more than any imitation

on the market. -^

If you buy a pot with a half bottom the roots will all run out and break
off when you shift the plant.

A pot with only half a bottom is not a pot, but only a dirt band with a
strip of loose paper for the bottom.

All imitations are made from our discarded ideas.

We considered all the forms used by our imitators a long time before they
thought of them, and if any other form were better we would be selling it.

No imitation has lasted more than one season.

Get the TRIED OUT pot (5 years) for satisfaction.

NEVER buy an UNTRIED thing, however loudly vended.

If you buy any imitation on the market you will be sorry, for they will
all partly or entirely spoil your crop.

The pots and bands of our imitators are made of chip board, a CHEAP,
HEAVY material which will cost you nearly twice as much for express.

The Florists' Review

Dbcbubhb 28, 1Q16.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Stock for Christmas was not over-
plentiful. Carnations were of good
quality, but rather scarce, and brought
from $6 to $8 per hundred; and the
indications are that they will remain
at these prices through the holiday
week. Cut poinsettias were not abun-
dant, but experienced a ready sale at
high prices. Roses were more plentiful,
the red ones, of course, leading in popu-
larity. Shorts sold as low as $5, but
large, fine stock brought up to $35.
Bulbous stock was extremely scarce,
limited to Roman hyacinths and nar-
cissi.

The smaller flowers met with a big
demand. Sweet peas were especially
popular and brought $1 and $1.50 per
hundred, with the supply limited. Vio-
lets also were in high favor.

An unusually fine and large supply
of pot plants enjoyed a ready sale, poin-
settias and cyclamens being the leaders
in popularity. Fancy, mixed pots, filled
baskets and hampers were sought as
gifts.

From first appearances, it seemed that
the evergreen supply would be short,
but later shipments glutted the market,
leaving a great surplus on the retailers'
hands. The prices on holly and greens,
however, held up well.

Various Notes.

The florists were well satisfied with
their Christmas business. The quantity
of sales was satisfactory, the only dis-
turbance being the tie-up of shipments.
On account of the heavy Christmas ex-
press, out-of-town shipments were from
eight to twenty-four hours late, and
caused much anxiety to the local trades-
men. Smith & Young lost a large ship-
ment of ferns, its non-appearance plac-
ing them in a predicament.

Walter Berkhoff, recently with E. A.
Nelson, now is with the A. Wiegand's
Sons Co.

The store belonging to R. D. Oilar,
which has been known as the Benson-
Oilar Flower Store, now is called Oilar 's
Flower Shop. Miss Melford, recently
with the Circle Flower Store, is again
with Oilar 's.

The Tomlinson Hall Flower Market
had an unusually good Christmas busi-
ness December 23. A great number of
plants as well as cut flowers were moved.

The next meeting of the Indiana State
Florists' Association will be held at the
Claypool hotel January 9. The meeting
in the morning, 10 o'clock, is for those
interested in the coming carnation show.
The regular meeting will begin at 2
o'clock. E. E. T.

The Market.

Most of the local florists did a good
Christmas business, notwithstanding the
fact that the holiday followed a Sunday,
riowers and plants came in plentifully
for Christmas trade and^ as a general
thing, the prices were about normal.
About the only flowers that were really
scarce and unduly high were ardisias,
the prices for which averaged nearly
twice what they were a year ago.

Azaleas were a little late in coming
to the local market, but there was a
good supply for several days before
Christmas. The plants looked pretty, but
were not up to the usual grade as far
as lasting qualities were concerned. The
stock was late in arriving in this coun-
try and therefore had to be forced; con-
sequently there was a tendency for the
buds to fall off. Poinsettias were of
good quality and sold for about 50 cents
per bloom. There was a plentiful supply
of potted begonias, Cincinnati and the
new Peterson Velvetina being the fa-
vorite varieties. Cyclamens of many
varieties and of excellent quality were
in the market. Primroses are beginning
to arrive in good quantities. A number
of potted orange plants were seen.
Scotch heather semed more plentiful
than in some other years and was used
a great deal in window displays. Ferns
have sold well of late. There has also
been some demand for palms. There
continues to be a considerable amount
of funeral work and there are occasional
weddings.

Various Notes.

Philips Bros, report that counter trade
in cut flowers is a little slow, most of
the demand at present being for season-
able plants.

Painted Japanese flower boses and
miniature Japanese gardens were fea-
tured in the window display of A. Bege-
row last week.

John W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, hired
an extra store for the Christmas trade.

Johnson 's annual Christmas store was
located this year at 50 Broad street,
Elizabeth. K. B, M.

Stevens Point, Wis. — Robert K. Mc-
Donald has had a shingle over his door
since 1880, with "Abstracts, Loans' and
Real Estate" appearing beneath his
name. Now, however, Mr. McDonald
says he may as well add "Dahlias,
Gladioli and Peonies," for each year
he has had success in growing these
three items for the local trade.

Reading, Pa. — A brief business session
of the Reading Florists' Association re-
cently was held at the residence of D. P.
Guldin. J. Stanley Giles presided. Re-
ports of the fall flower show were offered
and showed that the event was a finan-
cial success. Another exliibition, on a
larger scale, will be made next year.

Lincoln, 111. — Gullett & Sons say:
"Our Christmas business was extremely
large and, barring the serious trouble
caused by the poor condition of azaleas,
it was entirely satisfactory. Wo wish
something might be said in this Week's
issue to soften down the feelings of buy-
ers of azaleas, some of whom did not
show proper consideration of the whole-
salers' efforts to fill orders. It is dis-
couraging."

"AND DEPONENT SAITH
FURTHER, AS FOLLOWS:"

Kii

^i

Out of a grreat mass of testimonials in support of the excellent character of Cypress for greenhouse con-
struction, we have singled these few for your consideration:

Arthur Cowee, Gladiolus Specialist, proprietor of "Meadowvale Farm," Berlin, N. T., writes: "My houses
are now ten years old and I have not yet been obliged to spend one dollar in repairing any woodwork, with the
exception of some of the posts. My only regret has been that I have not used CYPRESS for the benches, which
I think would have been cheaper for me in the end than using hemlock, which, of course, with us is very much
cheaper per thousand."

That's the point — CYPRESS literally CHEAPER in the end, Mr. Cowee names the proper system—
FIGURE THE COST BY THE YEAR.

John C. Monlnger Co., Greenhouse Builders, Chicago, say: "We first began using CYPRESS exclusively
for greenhouse construction in 1885, using it previous to that time in conjunction with pine. The greenhouses
built with clear CYPRESS, free of sap, 21 YEARS AGO, are being used today by their owners, and the wood
is found perfectly preserved and free of any decay or rot. ' Ask this prominent concern about the "cheaper"
substitutes and why they won't use them nor attempt to dump inferior values onto their customers.

The Dingee &. Conard Co., Rose Growers, Weat Grove, Pa., say: "We have used CYPRESS lumber for
greenhouse building for many years, and we And that there Is no lumber we can secure so satisfactory for that
purpose." Nothing in that about a "cheaper substitute," is there?

Bobbink & Atkins, Importers, Nurserymen and Florists, Rutherford, N. J., are not backward in coming
forward: "We would say that CYPRESS lasts with us from two to three years longer than any other wood
for table purposes, and ITS LIFE SEEMS TO BE ENDLESS WHEN USED IN ORDINARY GREENHOUSE
CONSTRUCTION. We use CYPRESS solely in our plant tub department."

Wagner Park Conservatories, Sidney, Ohio, rise to remark: "We use NOTHING BUT CYPRESS in the
construction of our greenhouses, as we nnd it the most economical, on account of it outlasting other kinds of
wood." No comfort there for the "substitute" lumbers.

Bassett A. Washburn, Growers and Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers, Chicago, testify:

"We formerly used hemlock and pine, but found that 2-inch stock lasted only about four years, while so
far, we have had no 'Pecky' CYPREJSS rot out In 10 or 12 years. We use clear CYPRESS for all our roof work,
ventilators, etc., and it is very satisfactory. We think it is the only kind of lumber for the purpose." Not
bad, is it?

our type No. 101, or with 2x4 stringers and crosspieces with bottom
laid lengthwise, as in our type No. 100, we always use common cypress

You wouldn't think of building a house with a wood foundation these days,
would you? Of course not. You want the best— you simply must have it.
That's the spirit of the age. And that's why you'll insist on concrete bench
posts next time. They're better. And the benches, too. You're too shrewd
and wide-awake to let anyone sell you a lot of holes sawed to measure for bench
lumber. Insist on sound, air-dried common cypress for your benches. You
won't use any other kind— we don't sell any other kind. For show houses
and palm houses we make pipe frame benches and other styles.

Remember, it's your next move ! Make it today !

GREENHOUSES

Furnished by us for Stephen Hyde, Carthage, No.

|HIS greenhouse is one finished this past summer and is 84
feet wide and 500 feet long. There are but two inside
supports across the entire hous3. Lengthwise the posts
are set 16 ft. 8"4 in. center to center. This means also that the
steel arches are set 16 ft. SH in. apart. You can judge for
yourself as to the roominess and lightness of this house.

You will admit that it is easy work to drive around inside
with your wagons and plows. Then look closely at the picture;
notice the size of the various steel members. Strength and
weight where needed, and only where needed, and not a lot of
heavy, flat steelwork, strong one way and weak in another. We
figure these things out to a hair. No guesswork.

We can prove it. Write forfour Proof Book— it's free.

The Florists^ Review

JANL'AUY 4, 1917.

The sash closes against a steel angle
sill, not on top ot a wooden one. It
swings up tight to the T-Bar division
piece, between ends of the sash.

Here is the first really successful
counterbalanced gear. Runs up as easy
as it runs down.

Note that the galvanized drip gutter is
separate from the eave, not part of it.
It's been tried both ways, and we have
proven that this way is the best way.

Some Construction Odds and Ends
Worth Knowing About

TAKE our handling of the side ventilating
sash on the Iron Frame house. Instead of
closing it down on top of a wooden sill,

that in spite of anything you can _

do will swell, causing the sash to
stick, we close it asrainst the
edge of an angle iron. No swell-
ing, no freezing, no sagging makes
any difference with its easy work-
ing. Always it opens and closes

without sticking.

Then another thinK, instead of using
a cypress piece between the runs of
sash, we use a T-Bar at,'ainst which
the sash tit on either side of the metal
division.

Now take the post. It is guaranteed
Wrought Iron secured to the steel
rafters by double gusset plates. The

Tlie center door lifts out. The door
both sides iire liinged to the side pos
which fit against llie gabli; rafters.

galvanized angle iron eave plate is equipped with
a U-shaped drip gutter. Being independent of the
eave itself, the clogging objection of a combined

eave and drip gutter is overcome.

T :).„ fKo pj,^^ olate, the drip gut-

you and pomt ouu, pui.ii- ^j ^
the superior points in our construc-
tion, you would be surprised to find

in how many important ways it
differs so differently from other con-
structions.

Differences that many times over
make up any differences in cost.

When you make up your mitid you
want a house of Everlasting Lastiug-
ness. then let's get together aud talk
thiugs over.

PINK ENCHANTRESS

Upright In habit, as distinguished
from the Branching form. The plant
Is very vigorous, and produces long,
strong stems for the support of num-
erous large exhibition blooms. The
flower is always full double; petals
are of medium lengtii and very broad;
those toward the center fold In very
regularly, while gradually, toward the
outer edge, the petals stand out more
and more until those on the outside
recede from the center, thus increas-
ing the diameter of the flower, which
compares very favorably In size with
the iargest-tlowerlng kinds on our

MAGNOLIA FACTS

QYes, Mr. Florist, be particular as to what kind of Magnolia Leaves you buy now, under
the present conditions,

QDye colors have advanced from 1000% to 2000%; preparing chemicals have exactly doubled

in prices since the war began,

^ VE^ Wl^^n^S^^^r^S^M^^^^^Sl'"'T I leaves is as good now as they were before

the war, and that they are prepared fully,
regardless of the above-stated high prices
of the materials.

C.You fool yourself if you buy the cheaper
grade of leaves, as they will become mil-
dewed and they will dry out shortly after
the boxes are opened. Our goods are sold
by every leading wholesale florist in the
United States and Canada, and they have
stood the test for the past six years.

CA maKnollm leaf la only worth ualnc If
It has been fully preserved, but NOT by a

cheap process, which enables others to sell
the leaves cheaper by a few cents. You pay
these few cents about ten or fifteen times over,
when you consider the poor value of these goods.

The writer of this advertisement took the opportunity to visit the leading
New York Florists during the Holiday Season to determine the uses to which
our fabrics are put.

He was delighted at the lavish displays made. Enormous quantities of
plants were seen trimmed with the latest creations of this house.

The writer also while making his rounds secured two applications from
prominents retailers for membership in the "Florists' Telegraph Delivery." We
desire at this time to suggest to all manufacturers and wholesalers the advisa-
bility, for the best interests of the trade, of urging their
customers to join the F. T. D.

SPRING FLOWERS '^

AMID THE SNOWS

The man who makes the most money out of flozvers is the man who leads
the seasons. The quantity sales come later, hut they come as surely to the
florist who set the pace as to the one who ivaitcd for the bargain offer of an
overstocked wholesaler.

S the days begin to length-
en and the cold begins to
strengthen, when his polar
breath old Boreas blows
and Earth is mantled with
January's snows — then the
progressive florist makes
a feature of the flowers of
spring, for they hold a pe-
culiar appeal while the

contrast with the outdoors is so strong.

Not only do the flower buyers welcome

the first flowers of spring, but, buying

them with avidity, they pay twice the

price we shall consider profitable when

the vernal season draws near.

The flowers of spring are, first of all,

those that are produced from bulbs, the

jonquil, the dafl'odil, the tulip and the

hyacinth, but there are many others.

Although it has become an almost all-

the-year-around flower, the sweet pea

deserves to be classed as one of the

leading flowers of

spring. Certain it is

there is nothing more

profitably salable in a

first-class flower store.

There is a record of

long-stemmed Spencer

sweet peas at $4 per

hundred, wholesale, at

Christmas!

Then there are pan-
sies, Paper Whites,
French Romans, valley,
daisies, mignonette,
bouvardia, violets,
calendula, snapdragon,
lilac and many other
forced flowers suffi-
ciently springlike to af-
ford relief from the
lack of variety which
has prevailed since the
mums passed out — the
roses and carnations
are fine, but the regular
buyers will welcome a
change.

And don't forget tlie
pussy-willow; as a
"flower" it might bo
considered as almost
emblematic of spring.
It goes in every basket
of flowers, in every
decorated plant.

There is no method
more effective, amid
January's snows, than
boosting business by a
display of spring flow-

ers. Put them in the window; show
them in the store.

How to Show Spring Flowers.

One of the most successful of Chicago
retail stores has two display refrigera-
tors, one on each side of the room. The
box at the right is used for Beauties,
roses and a few carnations; the one at
the left has shelves for the smaller flow-
ers, today the flowers of spring. Watch-
ing the trend of trade, the manager
noted that with the passing of the holi-
days customers in steadily increasing
number turned from the display of roses
to the one of sweet peas, .ionquils and
the blooms associated with the awaken-
ing of Nature after winter.

Right there he conceived an idea,
small in itself but which has produced
many hundreds of dollars of profits. Ho
banished the storage vases to the stock
box downstairs and in the display case

THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE
HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH THIS

SPRING
CASE

installed a variety of baskets of spring
flowers arranged in his best style, with
two or three corsage bouquets. It in-
creased the sales wonderfully.

It may be that a florist, with his fifty
jonquils set as deeply as they will go
in an inartistic storage vase, sees in-
stead the flowers as they will look when
gracefully arranged with others in a
beautiful basket. But the customer does
not possess equal powers of vision — he
sees only what is before him, not the
possibilities that lie in it.

Therein lies the reason for the increase
of sales as soon as the florist stored his
stock out of sight and used his refriger-
ator for the display of baskets and bou-
quets ready for use.

Not that he figured on the sale of the
actual articles on display. Frequently a
customer would insist on having the
basket or bouquet out of the case, not
wishing to wait for a fresh one to be
' made up, but the idea
was to show the article
as it would be deliv-
ered instead of merely
showing the materials
with winch the florist
works, as most of us do.

Accessories.

spring use' the acces-

riety of baskets appro-
priate to the season.

greatly to the finish of
the arrangement and
tlie addition of natural

JAHUAET 4, 1917.

the sale of spring flowers now. It is
business which will not interfere with
the sales of roses or carnations, but
which, instead, will increase them by
adding variety to the stock. But it
should be borne in mind that there will
be a change in the sales of spring flowers
as the season progresses. In January,
good prices are to be had, for the supply
is comparatively small; but as bulbous
flowers become abundant, prices will fall
— then the money is to be made on quan-
tity sales. Today good prices are ob-
tainable for the asking and they will

make for livelier selling later, when a
special sale can be put on — a tumbler
basket containing a dozen jonquils or
a bunch of sweet peas for half a dollar.
There will be more spring flowers
than ever this season, especially bulb-
ous stock and sweet peas. A large part
of the bench space used for mums has
gone into sweet peas and the pick is
just beginning, while the imports of
bulbs, far exceeding the records of any
other year, speak for great quantities of
bulbous flowers as spring approaches.

SHARING THE PROFITS

DIVIDING THE INCREASE.

Better Than a Christmas Gift.

Since the adoption of profit-sharing
plans by big business all over the coun-
try, the idea has been taken up in at
least one florist's ostablishment. By
profit sharing is not meant the issuing of
■coupons to customers, but the division of
a percentage of the profits to the people
who make profits possible — to the em-
ployees who make up the organization.

Alpha Elberficld, proprietor of the
Alpha Floral Co., Kansas City, Mo., is
the first florist who is known to have em-
ployed the idea in his business. Mr.
Elberficld declares that tlie reason for
its adoption was the fact that every
year at Christmas time the proprietor of
nearly every store makes the members
of his organization a gift. So Mr. Elber-
field set to work to devise some method
by which this could be done so that the
gift would represent something more
Tnan the mere passing of some article or
cash from the hand of the owner to those
of his salespeople. He was not endeav-
oring to avoid giving, but he was trying
to find some manner in which the gift
would be invested with a significance.

Making a Start.

A little more than a year ago Mr.
Elberfield called a meeting of his em-
ployees and outlined his plans to them.
The company would no longer pursue the
common practice of other establishments
and other businesses. The Christmas
present idea would be banished entirely.
Henceforth the company would figure
the percentage of increase of profits each
month and a percentage of this increase
would then be divided among the em-
ployees according to the station of their
employment. The system began with the
porter and ended with the manager.
The percentage of profits distributed to
each was from one and one-half per cent
to fifteen per cent of the increase each
•month.

Mr. Elberfield endeavors to encourage
thrift among his employees and he
therefore, after the first month, opened
an account at a bank for them, in which
their percentage was deposited at the
■end of each month. In speaking of this
banking business Mr. Elberfield recent-
ly said: "Ninety-five per cent of the
accounts that I have started for my em-
ployees have never had a withdrawal
made on them."

Perfects the Organization.
"The sales help, the designers, errand

boys, porters, stenographers and all be-
gan to take a great deal more interest
in the business," said Mr. Elberfield.
"It was to their advantage and to mine
that they should increase the profit
month after month. Now, here is an in-
teresting feature, for some might con-
ceive the idea that the Christmas gift
proposition had been defeated and a sav-
ing effected, but it does not work that
way. If I had pursued two years ago
the old custom of giving Christmas pres-
ents to my employees they would of
course have been in cash and they would
have represented an extremely small
percentage of a yearly profit. ' There-
fore, you- can easily see that where an
employee formerly received a five-dollar
goldpiece for a Christmas present he now
receives annually several times that
amount. But he should receive it; he
has a right to it, for he made it possible
for me to pay it by earning it for me.

"This profit-sharing business has per-
fected my organization until now the
percentage of increase each month over
the same month of the previous year has
averaged something like fourteen per
cent during 1916. Although the year
perhaps would have brought an increase
in profit without the salespeople and or-

ganization displaying an increased inter-
est, it is a question worthy of note
whether or not the increase would have
been as high as it was.

"Naturally, the prosperous condition
of the country during the year would
have brought us an increase, as it did
to nearly every florist's establishment.
Newspaper advertising helped the busi-
ness much more than ever before, but I
have traced the greater part of the in-
crease to the stronger organization and
the greater interest that organization
has taken in the business. Beginning in
September, the greatest impulse for in-
creased profits was felt and it has con-
tinued to rise ever since.

Some of the Handicaps.

"Some conditions of the business
have erected obstacles against increas
ing profits, such as, for example, the coal
situation in this city and territory.
There has been a great deal of suffering
on the part of the greenhouse men in
this regard. Those who wished to renew
contracts for a year's supply of coal
found the price greatly increased and in
many eases operators and wholesalers
positively refused to undertake new con-
tract obligations to furnish the supply.
The only course left for the greenhouse
men was to resort to the open market,
where the same shortage of fuel was the
feature as well as increased prices. Thus
the price of production of flowers and
plants increased tremendously and,
therefore, the price had to be increased
to the retailer and the retailer in turn
was forced to increase the price to the
customer. Another important drain on
the profits of the retail florist has been
found in the rise in the cost of boxes and
wrapping paper, but almost all supplies
have advanced.

' ' Even though such diflSculties did ex-
ist, my business increased twenty per
cent during the year, over that of the
previous year. It seems that the de-
mand is daily becoming not only larger,
but for a higher grade of merchandise,
and to meet this demand the retailer
must keep well stocked with the best in
the market, not only in flowers and
plants, but in novelties, baskets, ribbons
and chiffons."

ROEBELENn SEEDS SCARCE.

A Popular Variety.

There are any number of famines
growing out of the great war, but the
latest to develop is a famine of Phoenix
Roebelenii.

During the last half dozen years this
phoenix has gained an immense popu-
larity in the United States. It is known
as the pygmy phoenix. Specimens 20
to 30 years old have stems not over
two feet high. Watson, the Kew au-
thority, says of it: "B^ far the small-
est of all the many kinds of phoenix
known and it also is exceptional in the
form of its stem and in the elegance and
soft texture of its bright green leaves."
He adds that it deserves to rank with
Cocos Weddelliana,

All these facts have been recognized
by the trade and there has developed a

large demand for the plants, principally
for indoor use, but in Florida and some
of the other southern states Roebelenii
now is reported in many gardens, though
it grows well only when in rich, moist
soil and in- half shaded spots.

Seeds Prom Afar.

But the world's supply of seeds of
Phoenix Roebelenii has come from an
inaccessible district in the northern part
of Siam and the western part of north
French Indo-China. Before the war the
supply of seeds was extremely uncertain
and during the last two years it has al
most ceased. Added to the difficulties oi
gathering have been the dangers of thf
ocean and it is reported that the last
shipment from Bangkok was submarineci
in the Mediterranean,

The variety obtained its name fron
its discoverer, Charles Roebelen, whose
business was collecting orchids. H<>

found it native in the Laos region of
Indo-China and he it was who first sent
«eeds to Europe. The district is a long
way north of Bangkok, but so far as
known all the seeds have found their
way out of the country through that
port. The American supply has come
from London or Ghent. There have been
scarcely any seeds of this palm in the
market for the last two years and there
seems to be no regular source of supply
anywhere in the world, although it is
said this palm suckers freely and in a
wild state grows in clumps, which may
aflford propagators an idea.

With a diminishing supply of seeds
and an increasing demand for the
plants, it is natural that stocks now
should have become decidedly small and
it seems almost a certainty that a fam-
ine will develop. None of the American
palm growers has been able to start any
considerable number of young plants
during the last two years.

NEW PARCEL POST RULING.

Invoices, descriptive of articles con-
tained in parcel post packages, may be
enclosed in an unsealed tag envelope
and attached to the outside of the parcel
it is to accompany, according to a letter
from Third Assistant Postmaster Gen-
eral A. M. Dockery, reading as follows:

Referring to correspondence concerning the
Bending with parcels mailed at the fourth-class
rates of postage of invoices descriptive of the
articles contained in the parcels, and requesting
that the sender of a parcel be permitted to en-
close the Invoice in an unsealed tag envelope
■and attach the latter to the outside of the par-
cel It is to accompany, I have to say that no
objection •will be made thereto, provided the en-
velopes in which the Invoices are placed are left
unsealed and are plainly marked, preferably In
printing, "Invoice inside," or some similar In-
«criptlon, and the sender's and addressee's
names and addresses are in all cases placed on
the vrrappers of the parcels, regardless of whether
or not they appear on the envelopes containing
the invoices. Furthermore, in order to prevent
the separation of the envelopes and parcels while
in the mails, the envelopes must be ■ securely
fastened to the parcels and placed underneath
the string with which the parcels are tied.

You are informed, however, that if It should
be found that tlie attaching of invoices to the
outside of parcels in the manner Indicated causes
•confusion In the mails, it will be necessary to
require the invoices to be placed inside the par-
cels.

The Postoffice Department had been
informed that after an order is invoiced
and wrapped for weighing, the postage
is charged on the invoice and it will be
more convenient and less expensive for
the merchants under this new ruling.
Heretofore the invoices had to be in-
closed in the parcel or letter postage
paid thereon. C. L. L.

VON SIGN NARCISSI.

Are Von Sion narcissi hardy? When
should thev be planted to have them in
bloom for Easter? V. E. F.— Ind.

Do you think the pansies will be in
bloom for Memorial day? Will a tem-
perature of 60 to 65 degrees in the day-
time and 50 at night be all right? How
close should the pansies be planted in the
bed? M. B.— Minn.

Double Von Sion narcissi are the
hardiest narcissi we have, either in the
border or naturalized. Single Von Sion,
or Trumpet major, as it is more fre-
quently called, is not so hardy and
usually disappears in a year or two if
planted outdoors. AH narcissi for
Easter flowering should have been
planted before now. The best month
is October, but bulbs might even be
planted in flats now and flowered by
April 8. The quality, however, will be
inferior to that of earlier planted stock.

C. W.

MEMORIAL DAY PANSIES.

We are going to grow pansies for
Memorial day and intend to do the
seeding in January. We will trans-
plant the seedlings into flats and later,
right after Easter, transplant them to
an old violet bed in the greenhouse.

The seeds should be sown at once.
Some of the plants will bloom by Memo-
rial day, but only a small proportion of
them, in all probability. Seedlings
raised in August give the finest plants
in every respect. Your suggested
treatment is all right except in the
matter of temperatures. They are too
high. Do not let the night minimum
run over 4.3 degrees, with a rise of 10
degrees in the day; and be sure to air
them abundantly. Pansies will not
stand any coddling. Plant the seedlings
three inches apart each way in the beds.

BRYANT'S EMERGENCY CORSAGE.

When the florist has an order for an
elaborate wedding and the bride sud-
denly changes her mind to be married
quietly in a tailored suit, just what is
the florist to do? The designer has al-
ready planned the most elaborate
shower possible, when along comes the
groom to inform him that it will have
to be a corsage, and to be sure to do
his "darndest" and make it "some"
corsage.

The illustration accompanying shows
the "some corsage." Seven large cat-
tleyas and fifty valley were used. J. L.
Bryant, the artist, who is associated
with A. C. Brown, of Springfield, 111.,
points out that such a corsage will not
be oversized when the orchids are care-
fully placed. At the present prices of
select orchids and valley, the corsage
surely was worth the price — $18.

TO PUT COLOR IN FERNS.

I should like to know what will give
a dark green color to Asparagus
pluniosus and Boston ferns.

G. B.— Wis.

H^

of keeping this pest down is to give
weekly sprayings with either nicotine
solution or extract of tobacco, the nico-
tine solution to be composed of one
part nicotine to 500 parts water, or
the tobacco extract one part to fifty
parts of water. It also would be a
good plan to cut off the worst fronds
and burn them, W. H. T.

Give the plants an occasional water-
ing with cow manure to which has been
added some Scotch soot. The latter it-
self is splendid for putting color in
unhealthy looking plants. In making
the liquid it is best to put the cow ma-
nure and soot in a bag and immerse it
in a barrel of water. Let it stand a
day or two; then give the bag a few
squeezings. Dilute the liquid with clear
water before applying it. C. W.

SPORT OF NEPHROLEPIS.

Under another cover we are sending
you some fronds of a fern which we
have had for three years and which we
think originated with us. It is a sport,
and the leaves never grow over eighteen
inches long. Will you kindly advise us
as to the varietv of this fern?

C. P. D. & B.— Kv.

The fern in question looks like a sport
of Nephrolepis superbissima, this va-
riety having sported on several occa-
sions, in growths similar to tlio fronds
received. We would suggest tliat the
correspondent send some specimens to
Professor Benedict, of the Brooklyn Bo-
tanic Garden, Brooklyn, N. Y., who has
made a special study of the varieties
of nephrolepis and could give a ])ositive
opinion on the question. W. H. T.

COMPOST FOR BOSTON FERNS.

I would like to know what is the
best compost for Boston ferns. What
temperature do Boston ferns require
and is much ventilation necessary? I
planted 1,000 runners last July, but,
while they all took hold, the growth
is slow. The soil was four parts sandy
loam and one part well rotted cow ma-
nure. W. C. H.— Pa.

A proportion of one-fourth cow ma-
nure in the soil is rather too strong
a compost for small Boston fprns. The
manure may have soured the soil be-
fore the plants were established in it.

About one-sixth of old and well rotted
stable manure, such as from a hotbed
that had been in use the previous
spring, would be better for this pur-
pose. The best thing now to do would
be to water the plants rather lightly
and keep the surface of the soil stirred,
or lightly cultivated, so that the air
may get into it. Give the plants a
night temperature of 60 degrees.

Ventilation will depend on the weath-
er, but it usually is quite safe to give
a little air during the day, whenever
the temperature in the house runs up to
75 degrees. W. H. T.

STARTING FERN RUNNERS.

Is it better to start fern runners in
small pots or in flats? Should they be
cut back? A. R. G.— O.

These will start somewhat better in
flats or in a raised bench where a little
bottom heat ruiis below them in winter
— just sufficient heat to warm the soil
moderately. Some leaf-mold and sand
should be added to the soil. Long
fronds do better if cut back part of
their length. C. W.

DIVIDINO BIG BOSTON FERNS.

Will you tell me how to take care of
some large Boston ferns? They are in
half-barrels and the fronds are extreme-
ly thick. Some of the fronds are yel-
low and full of seeds or spores, while
others are young, vigorous and well
colored. Should they be taken out of
the tubs and the clumps divided and
put in fresh soil, or would it be just as
well to cut out the old fronds and leave
the young ones? What would be the
best fertilizer for ferns in this condi-
tion? H. L. H.— Mo.

SCALY INSECT ON FERNS.

I am sending you one of a number of
ferns that seem to be infested with
some sort of insect. A white substance
that somewhat resembles mealy bug set-
tles on the foliage of the plants. How
should I treat the plants to get rid of
this enemv? A. G.— Okla.

The fern in question is infested with
a scaly insect that is decidedly in-
jurious and one that is frequently met
with by fern growers. The best method

It would be better to postpone the
division of these old plants until spring,
as the plants would not grow away so
freely at this season. In the meantime
the worst fronds should be cut out, thus
giving more light and air to the young
growth. Give the plants full exposure
to the sun during the winter, and a
night temperature of 60 degrees. A
moderate top-dressing with pulverized
sheep manure or shredded cattle ma-
nure will help to encourage the growth
and give the ferns a darker color, but
a light top-dressing once in two or three
weeks is usually more satisfactory than
a heavy dose applied at one time, par-
ticularly during the dark days of
winter."^ W. H. T.

MEMORIAL DAT GLADIOLI.

When should Gladiolus America be
planted in a house with a temperature
of 40 degrees at night to have it in
bloom for Memorial day sales f

M. B.— Kan.

Plant the bulbs about February 1. If
your house temperature were 50 degrees
at night you could plant the bulbs as
late as March 1 and have them in bloom
for Memorial day. C. W.

GLADIOLUS NANUS.

When should The Bride and Peach
Blossom, of the nanus type of gladioli,
be planted for forcing! Any informa-
tion will be appreciated.

A. A. S. — Mass.

Bulbs of Peach Blossom and The
Bride gladioli are just coming to hand,
and the sooner they can be planted the
better. They succeed well in flats con-
taining four inches of soil. A flat 12x24
inches will hold seventy-five bulbs.
The bulbs also may be grown in
benches, but when they are in flats they
can be started in a cool pit and can be
advanced or retarded more easily as oc-
casion requires. C. W.

GLADIOLI FOR MEMORIAL.

At what date should Gladiolus Peach
Blossom and Blushing Bride be planted
in a carnation house to have them in
bloom for Decoration day?

E. A. R.— III.

Bulbs of these small-flowering gladioli
usually arrive in October, but if planted
by Christmas they will flower at the
time mentioned. As these gladioli start
to grow soon after being received, it is
best not to keep them too long out of
the soil. For various reasons I consider
culture in flats containing five inclios of
soil better than bench culture, as it is
easy then to advance or retard them.

PANAMA, THE PRIZE-WINNER.

Not because Gladiolus Panama can
now lay any claim to newness or rare-
ness— not for that reason is its pic-
ture given a place here, but because,
like a star actress, it has had so re-
markably successful a career on the
stage during the few years it has been
before the public. It has won medals
and certificates and other awards al-
most without number, in this country
and in Europe. The hosts of growers
for whom it has won prizes will
therefore recognize it, in the picture,
as a tried and true friend.

Panama is a seedling of Gladiolus
America and resembles its parent, but
has a deeper rose-pink color. The
spikes are long. The flowers are large,
substantial and well arranged. The
photograph from which the illustration
was made was supplied by B. Hammond

Tracy, of Wenham, Mass. In his list
of Cedar Acres gladioli he describes
Panama as "a perfect Hermosa pink,
with large, wide-open, wax-like flow-
ers."

GLADIOLI FOR FORCING.

I wish to plant gladioli in white and
pink for spring forcing. When shall I
plant these and what varieties shall ]
use? They are to be grown between
carnations. A. A. S. — Mass.

Plant the bulbs three inches apart in
the rows and let the rows run eight
inches apart. This is closer than they
are grown outdoors, but in a frame they
will do well with this space. With re-
gard to white gladioli, Chicago White
has a purer color than Augusta, but it
is not a better commercial variety. I
would place them commercially for cut
flowers in this order: Augusta, Chicago
White, Blanche. C. W.

Augusta, white, and America, pink,
will suit you as well as any varieties
grown. They are inexpensive and re-
liable. You can plant these any time
from December 20 to February 20. The
last-named date would give you flowers
for Memorial day. C. W.

GLADIOLI FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Will you please tell us what are the
best varieties of gladioli to plant and
when to plant them to have them in
bloom for Memorial day? Also tell us
the proper temperature to give them;
will 40 to 50 degrees be about right?

C. S. F.— Pa.

GLADIOLI IN COLDFRAMES.

I wish to plant gladiolus bulbs in a
coldframe, double sash, about March 1.
How far apart should they be planted .'
I am growing them for the cut flower
trade. Please state which of the fol-
lowing three white varieties you con-
sider best: Augusta, Chicago White,

Such small-flowered gladioli as Peach
Blossom and Blushing Bride can be
jilanted now, in flats containing four to
five inches of soil or in beds, to flower
for Memorial day. If in flats, they can
be timed more closely. Such large-
flowered gladioli as America, Mrs.
Francis King, Augusta, Brenchleyensis,
Panama, Niagara and Pink Perfection
can be planted about January 15 if the
average night temperature is 40 to 45 de-
grees. If 45 to 50 degrees can be main-
tained, the middle of February will be
sufiicicntlv earlv to jilant them.

SPACE BETWEEN SWEET PEAS.

How far apart in the rows should
sweet peas be planted?

V. E. F.— Ind.

Indoors plant them four to six inches
apart in the rows. Outdoors, for good
blooms, allow twelve inches between
the plants. C. W.

SWEET PEAS LATE.

We have a house 50x156 planted to
sweet peas for the fourth season, and
we notice that the peas have bloomed
later each season. This year they are
just starting to bloom. The crop was
planted the same time each year, about
the last of August.

We have given all the peas the same
treatment and have had good crops, but
later. Each year tfe trench the house
about eighteen inches deep, four feet
three inches apart, digging in manure
and using thirty-five or forty 1-horse
loads of horse manure. Now, are we
using too much manure?

The first season the soil was heavy
and we had some trouble with buds
dropping, but the next season we
drained the house by putting 3-inch
drain tile under each row and since then
have had less trouble with buds drop-
ping. J. P. K.— Md.

If you would reduce the quantity of
manure used one-half, your sweet pea
vines would grow less vigorously, but
bloom earlier. Cow manure, well rotted,
is superior to horse manure, if you can
secure it at a reasonable cost. I would
prefer to feed the plants with liquid
manure and top-dressings of cow or
sheep manure, as they need it during
the growing season, rather than make
the soil so rich at planting time.

C. W.

SWEET PEA CULTURE.

I am sending under separate cover a
shoot of sweet peas that seem to be dis-
eased. It appears to be some form of
mildew. The seeds were planted Sep-
tember 14, in sandy soil. They were run
quite dry from the start, sometimes
three weeks without water. At times
the ventilators are wide open, also the
doors. Would this cause the trouble?
The grower maintains that they are too
wet. There are two holes in the roof
through which the water leaks. The
plants underneath these holes are thor-
oughly wet and the plants on either side
are vigorous and larger than the rest,
with no signs of disease. Please tell me
the cause of the above condition, and
give cultural directions for the crop
from its beginning. A. T. V. — W. Va.

The shoot forwarded was not affected
with mildew, but had every appearance

of having been browned by excessive
dryness at the root. Mildew whitens
the foliage and looks quite different
from foliage absolutely brown and dried
up as yours is. I should say that the
culture has been radically wrong if the
plants have been allowed to go for any
such period as you name without watet.
The full cultural directions for winter-
flowering sweet peas appeared in Tha
Review of October 12, 1916. The proper
treatment for the plants is a minimum
temperature of 45 to 48 degrees until
the flowers appear, then 50 to 52 degrees
at night, with a rise of 10 to 15 degrees
with sunshine during the day and 5 to
8 degrees on cloudy days. Sweet peas
naturally are moisture-loving plants, and
if the beds in which they are planted are
well drained there is not much danger
of any oversupply of water. The soil
in which they are growing should have
been deeply spaded in advance and
plenty of cow or other manure, well
rotted, incorporated with it. Careless
ventilation, causing drafts, will cause
mildew. A dry, overheated condition
will start red spider; both need to be
guarded against. A mulch of sheep or
cow manure when the plants are flower-
ing will prove beneficial, but avoid the
use of quick-acting chemical fertilizers.

C. W.

NABCISSUS BOOTS HOTTED.

We would like to know what causes
the roots of Paper White narcissi to
rot, after the bulbs have become thor-
oughly rooted. We potted the bulbs in
October, in a compost of good, fibrous
sod, with four or five parts of rotted
manure and one or two parts of sand.
The compost was piled last May, turned
once or twice during the summer and
kept well watered. The bulbs were
placed in a trench outdoors to root,
and were brought into the house after
having formed excellent roots. Top
growth came on finely for a while, and
then practically stopped. On examina-
tion of the soil balls, we find that prac-
tically all roots are rotted off on the
outside of the ball and that the ends
are rotted on the inside. Part of the
bulbs have had bottom heat part of the
time and the others have not, but the
roots are all the same. We have kept
the plants well watered.

The temperature of the house has
been carried at 50 to 60 degrees at night
and as high as 75 to 80 degrees during
the day, with plenty of ventilation. As
a rule, however, the day temperature
has not been much over 65 degrees.

K. & L.— Wash.

In the first place, your compost was
too rich; one-third well rotted manure
would have been ample. In the second
place, you made a mistake in placing
the narcissi in a trench outdoors, where
they probably were left too long. Ee-
member that Paper White narcissus
bulbs are not hardy like those of tulips,
daffodils and hyacinths. They should
be placed in a coldf rame, cellar or pit, or
even under greenhouse benches, where
they are free from drip, and in such
places they rarely fail to do well. While
they will stand such a temperature as
you mention, they will flower vastly
better if given not over 50 to 52 de-
grees at night, with a fair rise during
the daytime. C. W.

HIOH COST OF LIVING NOTE.

Caladiums for Use and Beauty.

Some years ago the United States De-
partment of Agriculture took an inter-
est in trying to introduce into this coun-
try certain species of caladiums that
might prove of value as food plants.
The Department reasoned that as sev-
eral varieties of caladiums are used for
food in the tropics, and as one of these
is capable of producing more food to the
acre than any other known plant, even
being capable of feeding two or three
thousands of people per acre the year
around, there was no reason why they
might not prove of value in this coun-
try, at least here, in the south, where
the seasons are long. Further, it was
reasoned that much land too wet for
other crops might be available in grow-
ing these plants.

Accordingly, caladiums were gathered
from the four corners of the earth.
These were judiciously distributed in
small quantities, but thus far none of
them has proved of great value for the

purpose intended. Doubtless this is
largely due to the difficulty in inducing
people to take up new things. But sev-
eral of these caladiums are of great
value from an ornamental standpoint,
and as soon as generally known will
largely displace the old Caladium
esculentum.

A Substitute for Potatoes?

The Trinidad dasheen is perhaps the
most promising variety for food. From
a tuber no larger than a walnut a plant
is produced that grows to a height of
five or six feet, with leaves two feet
broad by two and a half feet long. A
tuber is produced by fall that is as
large as the largest esculentuia tubers
on the market, with several offsets at
least as large as the one planted in the
spring. These tubers, when baked, taste
fully as well as potatoes. The second
season one of these large tubers pro-
duces dozens of leaves and makes a
wonderful show.

As an ornamental plant, this caladium
is most effective in the center of beds,
surrounded by plants that do not grow

Jasvavlx 4, 19.17.

The Florists' Review

more than four feet tall, or as a speci-
men plant in borders or on lawns. The
stems are dark, wine red.

The Wonderful dasheen is a variety
that is similar to the foregoing in many
respects, but has broader and larger
leaves. The wonderful part is doubt-
less in the number of leaves that are
produced in a season. It is not an ex-
aggeration to say that this caladium
will produce five times as many leaves
in the same length of time as the old
esculentum, and the leaves are almost
as large and fully as ornamental. Here,
in northern Tennessee, the plant ffrows
fully six or seven feet tall. This va-
riety is bound to be widely used as
soon as known.

This Variety Has No Tubers.

Closely allied to the caladiums are
tlie colocasias and xanthosomas. Colo-
L-asia or Xanthosoma Marehallii, how-
ever, looks more like a giant "rabbit's
ear" or "mule's ear," such as we see
in the northern swamps, than like the
ealadiums to which we are accustomed.
It does not produce tubers, and so must
be sold as a growing plant, a fact that
may mitigate against its popularity.
The plant grows here from four to six
feet tall, with leaves three or more feet
long and of a rich, dark green color.

Xanthosoma or Colocasia illustris is a
ilwarf member of the family, seldom
growing more than thirty inches tall.
Its leaves are slightly larger than calla
leaves and are wonderfully handsome,

being

a good green, mottled and

blotched with plum, bronze and all in-
termediate shades. For a border plant
there is nothing I have ever seen that
will produce a richer effect, especially as
a border to a bed of the following
variety:

Oue of the Handsomest.

Xanthosoma or Colocasia Bataviensis,
m my opinion, is the best of the ele-
pliant's ear tribe. It grows rapidly,
|l. rowing many leaves from even a small
bulb. One of the accompanying illus-
♦ations is made from a photograph of
a plant that grew from a single tuber

"St summer, and the tuber was no
J^rger than a baseball at planting time,

ie middle of April. I have noted many
r'ants with as many as thirty-five or
^-•^^^y good leaves that would average
j|ve and a half feet tall. The other il-
'■jstration, showing a bed of this va-
'■^ety, indicates the height of the plants.

1 am standing in the edge of the bed,
and my height is six feet one inch
just as I stand, without my hat.

The stem of each leaf is a dark plum
color, and the leaf itself is a blue-green,
with veins the color of the stem. The
blade of the leaf is not so large as that
of Caladium esculentum, but the general
effect is much richer and more tropical.

This season I had plants, as large as
the single plant in the illustration, that
grew from tubers no more than an inch
in diameter. The tubers are more easily
kept over winter than the esculentum
tubers, and thus far they have never
shown the soft rot that destroys the cen-
ter eye in so many caladium bulbs. The
plant grows rapidly and makes a show
earlier in the season than a caladium of
the old variety.

While there are several other varie-
ties, the ones I have named are the eas
iest to grow and I think they are the
most valuable for all outdoor planting.
It might be stated that some of these
varieties bloom freely, but the blossoms,
not adding materially to the beauty of

the plants, may be disregarded in stat-
ing their merits. Floyd Bralliar.

CLIMBEBS FOB CONSEBVATOBY.

Kindly name a few vines that can be
successfully grown in a conservatory. I
wish to plant them in the ground and.
would like quick results, as the place is
quite bare at present. W. F. J. — la.

A few suitable climbers are the fol-
lowing; AUamanda Hendersoni, A.
Williamsi, Bougainvillea Sanderiana,
Stephanotis floribunda. Plumbago Ca-
pensis, Jasminum primulinum, Cleroden-
dron Balfouri, Clematis indivisa and
Cissus discolor. For covering walls of
brick, stone or cement, Ficus repens is
satisfactory. Some of the foregoing are
classed as strove or tropical plants, but
all will do well in an ordinary conserva-
tory, with a minimum of 45 degrees.
The hoyas, passifloras, bignonias, Eose
Cherokee and a number of other varieties
are available, but those first named will
be found quite suitable. C. W.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

NEW YEAR'S GREETINaS.

From President Kerr.

We are at the beginning of a new year
and again thinking of our friends. The
splendid old year has gone, taking its
many seasonable possibilities, but gives
us in keeping a beautiful New Year.
The 366 days of the year just passed
were filled to overflowing with many op-
portunities to acquire happiness by
spreading sunshine among our friends.
We wish our friends success.

And with the possibilities of this New
Year comes a ray of hope for peace be-
tween the warring nations, our friends,
our brothers, a conception of which,
when accomplished, will constitute once
more joy, smiles, laughter and work,
which lead to their success.

The heart of every American florist
goes out in sympathy to our fellow
craftsmen who are located in the war-
ring nations. Let us each and all wish
for an early peace, in order that it may
alleviate the suffering of humanity and
restore prosperity and happiness among
them.

And may tlio widened circle of our
S. A. F. organization in our own land
give the New Year distinction in our
calendar, as that in which the blessings
and good of the organization were made
more manifest than ever before to the
communities which have been fortunate
to have had the S. A. F. in trust.

i wish each and all success, or, better
still, may each one realize his own ideals
in his own life, which, when accom-
plished, will con&titute success.

May the whole New Year be one round
of friendships, joyous days of labor and
tasks well done.

Robert C. Kerr, President.

As president of the S. A. F. I congratulate
you upon your acceptance of the oftice of state
vice-president and I believe your acceptance
will warrant my earnest desire for full and
hearty cooperation on all subjects of interest
to our organization.

Do not overlook the fact that you are the
headquarters representative in your state and
I have full confidence in your ability to serve
our society In an energetic and intelligent
manner.

Of course it is only natural for you to have
the interests of your local organization at heart,
but I sincerely trust and in fact know that you
will make special efforts to make the society
of which you are state vice-president one of
the largest organizations in your territory. It
is incuml)ent uiwn you to direct your attention
to securing as many new members as posslbl"
and taking care of the various interests of thr
present members in a businesslike manner.

It is also your duty to get in touch with eacli
and every member of our society in your stat>
and obtain their cooperation, which I am quit'
positive M-ill be given you.

Have you considered that the next conventioii
promises to be the largest gathering of oui
S. A. F. that lias ever been held in America'.
Just instill into the members in your state the
fact that great things are in store for them.

It is natural for you to expect that this offic<
will aid you in every possible way to make ••
success of your administration, which, of course
it is needless to say, we will most gladly do.

I know that we shall reap our reward at Nev
York and I would be unworthy of your consider
ation, should I think otherwise than that it wa-
your cooperation and assistance which aided t
jnake our administration a great success, whic!.
I am sure it will be.

It is for the above reasons that I am writing'
you this j)ersonal letter. Always bear in mim
that I will assist you whenever called upon, c
on other occasions when necessarj-. Do not le'
this opportunity for service stray from you"

FIBE AT MONINOEB'S.

Warehouse is Damaged.

Fire originating from some unknown
cause at 2:30 on the afternoon of Satur-
day, December 30,. partially destroyed
the warehouse of the John C. Moninger
Co., greenhouse builders, Chicago, caus-
ing a loss on stock estimated at $20,000,
in addition to the damage to the build-
ing.

It was a spectacular affair, the proxim-
ity of the Moninger, Sehillo and other
lumber yards adding greatly to the dan-
ger of a conflagration. At one time
there were twenty-three streams of
water being thrown on the fire. It was
twenty-four hours before the fire was
out.

The building was a large one, of five
stories and basement. A part of it was
occupied by a tenant, the United Breed-
ers' Co., the basement being used for
iron work and the upper floors for the
storage of material, mostly steel, heat-
ing apparatus and greenhouse hardware.
The building was some distance from
the mill, the oflSce building and other
structures on the property. The loss will
be easily adjusted for the reason that
the annual stock taking had been com-
pleted the morning of the fire, which
was the last business day of the year.
As it was Saturday, too, the plant was
shut down at the time and no one but
the watchman was on the property.

Damage to the Building.

The loss on the building, also covered
by insurance, is the personal one of E. F.
Kurowski and the estate of N. J. Rupp,
his partner, who lay dead jit his home at
the time, awaiting burial; the building
and land were the personal partnership
investment of Messrs. Kurowski and
Rupp, leased to the company of which
they were officers.

The fire will not interiupt the busi-
ness in the least, as the burned building
held nothing except articles manufac-
tured elsewhere and which can be re-
placed in the open market. It probably
will be some time before the building
can be used again, however, since the
east half will have to be practically re-
built. The three upper floors fell in the
center, but the lower floors held, protect-
ing the iron-working machinery.

JOHN KBUCHTEN.

EARLY training and environment combined to fit John Kruchten for the
position he now holds, as president of the John Kruchten Co. The son of
a grower, he was born in Chicago, November 21, 1882. After enjoying the
ordinary grade school education, he took the course offered by the Metropolitan
Business College and upon graduation worked for several Chicago business houses.
But the call of the florists' trade was strong upon him and in 1900 he entered
his father's greenhouses, remaining there until 1902, when he took a stand at the
Flower Growers' Exchange, then in operation at Wabash avenue and Randolph
street, selling his father's stock. August 28, 190.5, he started in business as a
commission merchant and May 23, 1915, -incorporated with his brother and took
up his present quarters in the Atlas block.

COGGAN SAVED THE GLADS.

The following is part of an article in
a Battle Creek, Mich., newspaper:

There are various kinds of thrilling rescues,
but S. \V. Coggan, of Battle Creek, performed
an unusual one last week, on short notice, and
by rather heroic means.

Mr. Coggan made a flying run for a freight car,
caught it, claml)ered aboard ,with a few simple
weapons with which to flght an all-night engage-
ment against frost and ministered to a carload
of gladiolus bulbs all the way to Chicago.

The temperature in the car was just at freez-
ing when Mr. Coggan arrived. It was 10 degrees
below zero outside the car when the train pulled
into South Bend, but the campaign for heat on
the inside was winning.

The bulbs were the property of Vaughnn's Seed
Store, Chicago, and were being shipped from the

Vaughan farms at Ovid, Mich. The weather
was mild when they were loaded and no feara
were entertained as to their arrival in Chicago.
AVith the drop in temperature, however, an
alarm was sent out. The car was then a part
of a freight train that was approaching Battle
Creek. Mr. Coggan was called from dinner
by a long distance telephone appeal to do some-
thing if possible. He made a run for a couple
of oil stoves and some lanterns, hastily requisi-
tioned a supply of oil, tried to hire a man some-
where on the street to make the trip in, but
wRg unable to do so, and then, although the
Christmas rush was upon his own business, he
caught the car as it arrived in the Grand Trunk
yards, and started to dig in and conduct a
trench warfare against the cold. The bnlba
were landed safely at the Chicago terminal, and
Mr. Coggan then spent several hours trying to
get into Chicago on a milk train that should
have made the run on fast express time. All
the tracks were jammed.

Lancaster, O. — Business has set such
a lively pace since the Thanksgiving
boom that John Mayers, who operates
two houses on Columbus street, has had
to go to the wholesalers for much of
his stock.

FIRE AT MONINGER'S.

in addition 1o iiic danias^c to flic l)nild

it \v;is a spoctacular alVair, the j)iH)xiiii-
ity oi' tiie Moninj^cr, Scliillo and otlicr
lumber yards addiiiji iircatly to the dan
ger of a conna^ratioii. At one time
there were t wcnty-t hice streams of
water lieintj thrown on the fire. It was
twenly-four honis l)efoi'e tlie (ire was
out.

'riie l>uiMin^ w.as a lar^i^ one, of (i\c
stories and b.'ist inent. A ]iart of it was
cicenjiied by a tenant, the UnittHl l'.r<'ed-
ers ' <"o., tlie l)asement beinj; used for
iron "work .'ind tlu> niipcr Ihxirs foi- tin-
storage of material, mostly stetd, heat-
ing apparatus .'ind greeidions(^ hatilware.
The building was sonic? distance fi'om
tlie mill, llie olliee building and other
structures on the property. 'J'hc' loss will
be easily a<ljiisted for the reason that
the annual stock taking had lieeii com
pleted the morning of the (ire, which
was the last business day of the yeai.
As it was Saturday, too, the i>lant was
shut down at the time and no one but
the watchman was on the jiroiKuiy.

Damage to the Building.

The loss on the building, also coveied
by insni-.anee, is the jiersonal one of E. !•'.
Kurowski and the estate of X. J. Kiijtp,
his p.artner, who la_y dead at his home at
the time, awaiting burial; the Imilding
and land were the ]ierso!ial partnership
invest iiMMit of Messrs. Kurowski and
liupp, leased to the coniiiany of whi(di
they were ofTiC(M'S.

The lire will not interrupt the bnsi
ness in the least, as the burned building
held nothing except articdes manufac-
tured (dsewhere and whicji i-an be re-
jdac(>d in th(> open market. It proliably
will be some time Ixd'ore the building
can be used again, however, sinc(^ the
east half will have to be practically re-
built. The three upper (loois fidl in the
center, but the lower floors ludd. protect-
ing the iron working machinery.

OBITUARY

Nicholas J. Bupp.

Nicholas J. Rupp, treasurer of the
John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, died De-
cember 27 from the effects of ^n opera-
tion for appendicitis. He had been suf-
fering from a nervous breakdown and
had been at home for upwards of a year,
but his health was steadily improving;
in fact, so much so that he was about
ready to resume active duties when he
was stricken with appendicitis. He was
taken to a hospital and an operation im-
mediately performed, but his heart gave
out the second day and he passed away
at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Mr. Rupp was one of the pioneers of
the greenhouse construction business.
In 1894, after the death of John C.
Moninger, he joined E. F. Kurowski and
together they bought the business from
Mrs. Moninger. From then on he de-
voted his entire life to the advancement
of greenhouse construction. He was con-
stantly at his oflSce with the John C.
Moninger Co. and contributed greatlj'
to the rapid advance and success of the
company.

Mr. Rupp was a member of the So-
ciety of American Florists for twenty-
one years, having joined in 1895 at the
Pittsburgh convention. He also was a
member of the Chicago Florists' Club
and many other trade organizations.

Most members of the greenhouse trade
knew him as a jovial good fellow and
many florists and vegetable growers
have profited by his advice in regard
to the building of their greenhouses.

He was 53 years old and, besides his
wife, is survived by a son, Walter Rupp,
who is secretary of the John C.
Moninger Co.; two daughters, Clara and
Elsie; his father, Charles Rupp, Sr. ; a
brother and two sisters. The funeral
was held December 31, from his resi-
dence, 3508 Janssen avenue, with inter-
ment at St. Lucas cemetery.

John Mclntyre.

John Mclntyre, of New York, for
many years a prominent figure in whole-
sale circles at Philadelphia, died last
week. He was employed at C. C.
Trepel 's Bloomingdale 's.

H. H. Frey.

H. H. Frey, senior member of Frey &
Frej', of Lincoln, Neb., died December
11, at the age of 76. The decedent start-
ed his florists' business at Lincoln thir-
ty-five years ago, in partnership with
his oldest son, C. H. Frey, who, after ten
years, withdrew from the firm to form
the C. H. Frey Co. The deceased is sur-
vived by five sons and one daughter.
The business of Frey & Frey will be con-
tinued by the four sons, Joseph B., Clem
E., R. J. and Irwin F. Frey.

Mrs. M. M. Ajrres.

With much regret I announce the
death of Mrs. Matilda M. Ayres, of St.
Louis, at the Deaconess hospital, De-
cember 29, after an illness of several
months with dropsy. Her death came
just one year after she sold her interest
in the Ayres Floral Co., at 315 North
Grand avenue. For fifteen years she
was the head of the company, and for
ten years previous to this she was man-
ager for Luther Armstrong, who was
her foster brother.

it is said left nearly all to charity and
churches.

The funeral took place January 1,
from Wagoner's chapel, St. Francis
Xavier's cemetery. Many beautiful
floral designs were sent by her friends,
and the attendance of florists was large.

Mrs. Ayres was 70 years old and a
well-preserved woman for her age. She
had the distinction of being the only
woman member of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club. She was an honorary mem-
ber at her death. She was much re-
spected by all in the trade and her
death was much regretted by her many
friends. She was quite wealthy, and

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS j

^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimr

The Saltford Flower Shop, of Pough-
keepsie, reported excellent business, with
bright Christmas prospects. The vet-
eran, George Saltford, was examining a
batch of Begonia Mrs. J. A. Peterson
when I found him at the greenhouses.
He remarked that this variety would
supersede all other begonias. Holiday
plants were abundant, both in single
and made-up specimens. Rose Mrs.
Aaron Ward is grown for corsage pur-
poses and is the only variety handled.
Carnations White Wonder, Matchless,
Enchantress Supreme, Alice and Benora
were in prime shape. Across one higli
carnation house, wires are strung, on
which are suspended a vigorous lot of
Iselias in pans. Dendrobium Wardianum
and Oncidium varicosum wore also there;
the latter variety is later transferred
to a warmer house. A house of cat-
tleyas was interesting. These were
grown in 5 and 6-inch pots in place of
l>ans, as formerly. Oncidium splendidum
was throwing flower spikes of excep-
tional strength. Mr. Saltford believes
in crowding the roots rather than over-
potting and in keeping the plants on
the dry side. He thinks an assortment
is necessary to keep up the interest.
Passing through a house of gorgeous,
double-flowered poinsettias, we came to
a house of Sweet Pea Yarrawa. "We
have been growing sweet peas for seven
years," remarked Mr. Saltford, "really
experimenting, but now we seem to

know how to grow them profitably. We
do not feed until the vines are three feet
tall, and keep them on the dry side.
By this time, especially with Yarrawa,
buds appear. Then we feed them, and
once the plants bloom, the temperature
is kept not below 48 or 50 degrees. If
buds are not seen when the plants are
of the height mentioned, we force, but
still keep the plants dry and do not feed
them." The space between the rows was
occupied by stevias in pots and is later
planted with outdoor Spencers, which are
equally successful. A batch of gerani-
ums grown standard shape were noted.
"Somewhere," said Mr. Saltford, "I
read that standard geraniums sold last
summer for $15 per pair, and we have de-
cided to grow some, as our trade un-
doubtedly will take them." I reminded
him that he saw the item in question
mentioned in my Musings in The Re-
view, the subject being the splendid
specimens grown by S. Goddard, of
Framingh^m, Mass. George Saltford,
Jr., is steadily gaining in health, but it
will possibly be a year ere he returns
to active service in the business.

W. W. Hannell, of Watervliet, N. Y.,
is acknowledged to be the prize grower
of heather in this territory. A house of
Erica melanthera and persoluta rosea,
in perfect shape, had been sold. "There
is a fine lot for a Mr. Baker," remarked
Mr. Hannell, adding, "Would that we
had more Bak€rs and less butchers in the

also was noted. Roses were in heavy
crop, especially Killarney, in low solid
beds, of good color.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENTS

Denver, Colo. — "Our holiday business
was most satisfactory, with a fine de-
mand for both cut flowers and plants,"
reports the Curtis Park Floral Co.

Bluffton, Ind. — Christmas night Dillon
Myers slipped on an icy step and fell,
injuring his back and hip. He is con-
fined to his home. While the injury is
not dangerous, it is quite painful and
he will be several weeks recovering from
it.

Decatur, 111. — The holiday business
was the best ever, both in plants and cut
flowers, according to Henry Daut. The
weather could not have been more fa-
vorable and there was no shortage in
any item, save, perhaps, red roses and
red carnations.

Roseburg, Ore. — Mrs. F. D. Owen, of
the Fern Island Greenhouse, says: "My
Christmas trade was the best ever. Rose-
burg people never demanded such high-
class plants and cut flowers. I was bet-
ter prepared to meet them halfway. We
did a rushing business and all enjoyed
the merry rush. On account of the
early freeze in October and November,
everybody lost all outdoor mums and
must all depend on the florist."

Minneapolis, Minn. — C. H. Janssen,
secretary and treasurer of Swanson's,
Inc., says: "It gives us pleasure to state
that the holiday business has been far
above all expectation. We have done
an exceedingly good business and, as far
as we are able to judge from the busi-
ness we have done, there is existing here
a prosperity which enables people to buy
luxuries even though the necessary com-
modities of living are high. We also
wish to speak a commendation for The
Review. It is an indispensable medium
and we are finding it of great value. It
is referred to constantly and I am sure
it would be difficult for us to get along
without it."

Schenectady, N. Y.— "Holiday busi-
ness never better." That is the unani-
mous report of the craft. There was a
scarcity of blooming plants and cut flow-
ers were not overplentiful. Prices were
slightly above the average. Xo com-
plaints were registered, except that the
poinsettia as a cut flower is unsatisfac-
tory. Why are not more of the double
variety grown, as is done so successfully
and with profit by our confreres at Kings-
ston and Poughkeepsie? Echoes from
Troy and Albany say the Trojans and
Albanians also shared in the general
prosperity and, if profits were not so big
as one could wish, the volume was larger.
This also seems to be the opinion of
merchants in other lines of business.

San Diego, Cal. — Boyle & Darnaud re-
port a splendid Christmas business, espe-
cially in orchids, of which the firm
grows large quantities at the nursery.

Bluffton, Ind. — Myers & Co. report the
largest Christmas trade in years, mostly
in cut flowers, of which they had plenty,
especially long-stemmed Ophelia, which
had the leading call. In pot plants, poin-
settias, cyclamen and Primula mala-
coides rosea had the lead.

Pontiac, HI.— W. ,T. Miller & Son say
this was the first Christmas they have
had enough scarlet carnations. There
was an increased demand for plants and
this helped to put the total sales twenty-
five per cent ahead of last year. From
Christmas to New Year's business also
was unusually good.

Atlanta, Ga.— The Whitehall Floral
Co. reports business double that of last
Christmas. This increasing trade de-
manded the purchase of the old Fair
and Cherokee street greenhouses, which
have been remodeled and thoroughly
equipped for growing roses, carnations
and pot plants. The manager, W. M.
Bailey, says there was great demand for
roses this Christmas.

Dayton, O. — It is true that W. G. Mat-
thews, proprietor of the Dayton Floral
Co., has a fondness for the vernacular,
but a sprinkling of made in-America
slang frequently adds "])ep" and charm
to a letter or conversation. Mr. Mat-
thews, like many others, slipped under
the ropes at the eleventh hour to take
advantage of the $1 subscription price of
The Review, which became $1.50 .Janu-
ary 1. Here is Mr. Matthews' epistolary
surprise: "Slip me couple years of Re-
views— afore 'tis too late. Safety first,
you know. Being without The Review
is next to being without coal." Then
Mr. Matthews proceeds to tell of Day-
ton's holiday business: "The Christ-
mas trade in Dayton was the best the
florists ever experienced. .\t first some
were timid about asking the advance<l
prices, thinking they would drive away
trade and ruin their business. But this
was not so; in fact, business increased.
The time is now to explain to the public
that we no longer can work on for senti-
ment. When the customer thinks your
jiriees are outrageous, just mention the
following necessities we are compelled
to buy: Coal, gasoline, labor, boxes,
paper, string, ribbons — yes — butter,
eggs, beef, shoes, clothing, sugar, flour,
etc. You will, ten times out of ten, have
satisfactorily explained to your cus-
tomers why flowers are a necessity and
cost more money."

Cherryvale, Kan. — F. W. Meyer, who
has "Quality" as his motto, says that
the Christmas business actually was
double that of 1915.

Greeley, Colo.— P. O. Han.sen's 17,000
feet of glass did a large and profitable
Christmas business. Mr. Hansen will
purchase a new touring car in the near
future.

Pueblo, Colo. — .Julia Stone, proprie-
tress of the Coloni-^l Flower Shop, re-
ports that the Christmas business swept
the market clean of cut flowers and
plants. The most expensive plants
seemed to be in greatest demand.

Lisbon, O. — .J. W. Scott says Christ-
mas business not only exceeded his ex-
j)ectations, but also exceeded the best
previous records for this locality. Cut
flowers and plants both sold splendidly
and the sup[)ly was large.

Logansport, Ind. — The florists here
ilid a rushing holiday business — stock
was completely sold out. Some were
unable to fill orders Christmas day and
otliers could have closed shop at noon
the day preceding. Prices advanced
all along the line.

Fort Smith, Ark. — George Rye, who
styles himself "Some Florist," says:
' ' It has been one of the hardest and
worst Christmases that ever hit this part
of the country. To begin with, the
weather went to 10 degrees above zero
December 18, which caused all stock re-
ceived up to December 20 to be frozen.
The express company caused the great-
est loss ever known by failing to deliver
flowers that should have arrived on time.
1 lost five boxes shipped December 19
and 20 that arrived December 2o and 26
and you can just guess what shape they
were in. Never in the history of the
flower business in this section was stock
delayed as this Christmas. What stock
di<l arrive in good shape went for a good
price, but I was much disappointed in
my plant business. .Just to give an ex-
ample, carnations shipped to me from
('hicago December 19 did not arrive until
December 23; plants arrived frozen.
Two boxes were shipped. One ar-
rived December 22, and today, De-
cember 29, the other one came in,
sliipped at the same time, of course all
frozen. Wholesale prices were higher
this year than ever before and the retail
man could not advance his prices to
come up with the wholesale market, and
that hurt the business. Take it all in
all, it was one of the worst years ever
experienced in this section of the conn-
trv."

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Although supply houses carried over
moderate quantities of red frieze, it is as
nothing to what department stores through
the country have to work oif .

It will pay to root all the cuttings of
Alice carnation. The variety has given
60 good an account of itself since its dis-
semination that the demand for young
stock will take up everything that is likely
to be available.

Last week 's mails brought many com-
plaints from subscribers who had failed
to receive The Review of December 21.
The Christmas mails were so badly con-
gested that in some cases it took a week
for copies to reacli a destination ordinar-
ily reached within twenty-four hours.

The success certain growers for the
eastern markets have had with the Hadley
rose will prompt some of the western ex-
perts to give the variety another trial; a
rose that can be grown good enough to
command $1 per flower at Christmas, even
for a small part of the cut, is worth study-
ing.

The sliortage of Manetti stocks is im-
portant, but it would have been far v.orso
in the days when growers were in the
habit of replanting their roses each sea-
son. This year a shortage of young
grafted stock merely will mean that grow-
ers will carry over more of the old plants
than heretofore.

The Mrs. Russell rose seems peculiarly
susceptible to extremes in weather. It
does well in the heat of summer, but a
damp, hot spell cooks the flower. Recent
zero days also have played havoc with
some splendid crops. But Mrs. Russell
is so good when it is good that it is for-
given its oflf days.

There are a large number, especially
in the wholesale branch of the business,
who hope collections will improve now
that the new year has arrived.

From the number of readers who sent
The Review $5 for five years' subscrip-
tion and dated their letters December 26,
it may be deduced that the trade had a
right fair Christmas.

Here is a Happy New Year idea for
dahlia growers, for they are assured an
increased demand and no possibility of
unsalable surplus! This is how: Inu-
line is a chemical necessary for the pro-
d ition of the serum used in anti-typhoid
and anti-typhus inoculations. Before the
war Germany supplied it. Now the chem-
ists have discovered that the root of the
dahlia contains two per cent of inuline,
which is in great demand.

PUT THEM ON THE MAP.

There are several cities of good size
that are not on the trade map — for the
reason that The Review has not yet
found anyone to see that they are ade-
quately represented in its news columns.

The Review would like to hear from
someone who will be interested in sup-
plying a weekly news letter from

Albany, N. Y,

Baltimore, Md.

Louisville, Ky.

New Orleans, La.

Syracuse, N. Y.

Or if there is any other town not ade-
quately represented. The Review would
like to arrange for news letters.

FLORISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION.

Increased Bate of Assessment.

It is not generally known that all
insurance companies insuring crops have
lost money during the last two years.

The Florists' Hail Association, like
the old line insurance companies, has
been up against the loss proposition
hard during 1915 and 1916. The heavy
losses have been met promptly without
levying an extra assessment.

At a Chicago meeting of the directors,
they believed that a raise in the rate
for the March assessment of 1917 would
be likely to pull the association through
the coming year without the levy of an
extra assessment, provided the loss
ratio of the last ten years was not ex-
ceeded. The era of prosperity which
tlie trade is now enjoying ought to make
the increased rate a small matter to a
large percentage of the membership of
the Florists' Hail Association.

New business coming in at the new
rate in a measure shows that the new
rate will make practically no difference
to the prosperity of the association.
John G. Esler, Sec'y.

WILL THE BUSINESS PAY?

The Review frequently of late is
asked if, in its opinion, the greenhouse
business can be made profitable with
fuel at such prices as $6.50 per ton for
low grade coal.

The publishers of The Review are of
the opinion that the greenhouse business
will be profitable, except perhaps for
brief intervals, under any outside condi-
tions.

A condition of high prices for general
commodities is favorable to the flower
business rather than against its success.
Business always is good on a rising

market; when everything else is going
up in price the florist can keep pace if
he only thinks so. If prices for other
commodities eventually become settled
on the present high levels, the prices
of flowers will be found to have ad-
vanced in about the same proportion.
Florists will prosper so long as prices
rise or continue high. The difficulty will
come when prices begin to fall. The
trouble then will lie in the fact that
not so many people are making money
and that spending power is reduced.
This will cut oflp the demand for flowers
and reduce their prices faster than green-
house operating expenses can be reduced.
Falling prices are what this trade should
fear, not advancing prices.

MAKING ADVEETISING PAY.

Forced to the action by the high price
of paper. The Review increased the sub-
scription price January 1 to $1.50 per
year. In advance of that date a con-
siderable number of readers took advan-
tage of the opportunity to renew sub-
scriptions for one or more years at the
rate then prevailing. Many of the let-
ters accompanying remittances were of
interest. Like these:

The Review Is so well worth the new subscrip-
tion price that it seems like taking advantage
to subscribe for two years at the old rate. —
C. W. Outhwalte, New Iberia, La., December 21,
1916.

The Review is one of the high class magazine!
which every live wire In the florists' trade needs
in his business. — C. L. Spahr, Tarentum, Pa.,
December 27, 1916.

Here ■ is a money order for $5 for Ave years.
What would we do without The Review, with
the profitable articles and money-saving ads it
always contains? — F. W. Meyer, Cherryvale,
Kan., December 26, 1916.

We have made thousands of dollars throagh
the information we obtained by reading the
articles and ads in The Review. It is indis-
pensable in our business and we send $6 for
the next five years. — Klrchhoff Bros., Chicago,
111., December 26, 1916.

Turning from the subscription depart-
ment to the advertising desk, it is not
a surprise to find that advertisers also
have been hearing from the readers of
The Review. Like these:

The ad has brought more orders than I shall
be able to handle this month, but you surely will
hear from me later. — Max B. Schrelber, Mc-
Donald, Pa., December 18, 1916.

The ad sold all the plants I had to spare in
one day after I received the paper. — Henry
Gerstenkom, Decatur, 111., December 18, 1916.

AVe are cleaned up; The Review does the work.
— Brown's Greenhouses, Clyde, O., December 14,
1916.

AVboa! Back up, take out the ad; wait until
I Rrow something more and I will be with you
again! — James Frost, Greenville, O., December
14, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

New Year's demand in the houses
that do the shipping trade was un-
usually good, but after the shipping or-
ilers were out the activity in this mar-
ket was less than in former years. The
wholesaler who did not have established
shipping business to rely oh found
this a poor New Year's. The absence
of special local demand may in a large
measure be attributed to the fact that
New Year's eve this year fell on Sun-
day, upon which day no liquor is al-
lowed to be served. As the life of New
Year's celebrations always has centered
around the champagne supper, those
who wished to celebrate in the accus-
tomed manner either held small parties
at home or went to some other city to

see the new year in. This was antici-
pated by Chicago hotels and restau-
rants, which therefore made little pro-
vision for decorations, always an im-
portant item in New Year's business.
What local demand there was came
principally for such flowers as are used
for corsage work, a great number of
parties always being given around the
first of the year. Shipping business, on
the other hand, was brisk and held up
the market fairly well.

American Beauties were decidedly
short and no difficulty was found in
clearing stock at good prices. There
were few eastern Beauties in the mar-
ket. Russells also were markedly short.
Although the cut of other roses was a
little below par, there were more than
the demand called for. Shorter and
medium lengths, especially of such roses
as are suitable for corsage work, sold
easily, but the longer lengths dragged
heavily. Carnations took a decided
drop again, and wholesalers were glad
to accept almost any reasonable offer.

Easter lilies came in a little faster
than heretofore and found a fair sale.
The severe weather has retarded sweet
peas somewhat, but they now begin to
arrive in larger quantities. The latter
part of the week, when there were prac-
tically no Brunners or violets in the
market, sweet peas sold readily, but at
other times they were difficult to move.
Violets were in ample supply, although
most of the stock came from the east,
home-grown singles being below the
usual supply. Paper Whites remain
plentiful. There are enough cattleyas
now. Jonquils are decidedly popular,
but not yet in large supply. Valley
cleans up regularly, as usual this sea-
son. Stevia is on the down grade.
Bouvardia is in small supply and sells
well. Other items of miscellaneous
stock sell fairly steadily, but are not
in large supply.

An Optimist.

The gentleman who compiles the sta-
tistics for the annual business review
for the Tribune is an optimist on the
florists' business. The source of his in-
formation is not revealed, but this is the
way Chicago's business in wholesale cut
flowers was set down:
In mm $.s. 610,000

In 1015 2,888,000

' Increase $ 722,000

There are, of course, no public records
by which the actual volume of the
wholesale cut flower business can be as-
certained— few of the twenty-five or
thirty concerns in the market care to

disclose the sum of their yearly sales —
but probably everyone will agree that
a guess at $3,610,000 is amply large
enough for 1916. The method of arriv-
ing at the total appears to have been
adding twenty-five per cent to the esti-
mate of 1915 — and surely no one but an
enthusiast would believe that the aver-
age increase in sales, due to increased
production and better prices, has been
twenty-five per cent as compared with
the good year of 191.1.

Fire at Oakwoods.

Fire originating in one of the boiler-
sheds at Oakwoods cemetery made a
spectacular blaze Saturday evening, De-
cember 30, and threatened the destruc-

tion of the large range of greenhouses.
The shed was reduced to ashes and the
ends of three greenhouses were burned
off, exposing the stock. One of the
houses of bedding plants in the sand and
small pots was so badly damaged every-
thing froze. The other two damaged
houses were in carnations and S. A. Reid,
the gardener, who has been in charge
more than a quarter of a century, found
it possible to keep the temperature from
going below 40 degrees, although it was
a cold night, by using a dozen oil stoves;
only the plants in the end of the house
were seriously damaged. Several other
houses were without heat until breaks in
the piping aCould be repaired, but the
damage was not so great as one who

The range has two separate boiler-sheds,
both boilers being coupled to the same

December Weather.

According to Weather Bureau records,
issued January 2, December was a fa-
vorable month for the growers, the sun
being fifty-five per cent of the possible,
or three-eighths more than usual, as we
ordinarily get only forty per cent of the
possible sunshine in December. The
mean temperature was 3.3 degrees be-
low normal. Of importance as affecting
the fuel bill, the wind movement for
the month was only 9,778 miles.

Various Notes.

F. M. Johnson and Edward Galavan,
of the A. L. Eandall Co., have interested
themselves in the case of John Loehrer,
formerly well known in this market. Mr.
Loehrer was in the greenhouse business
for many years at Boone, la. He now
lives at Sioux City, and is said to be
totally blind and dependent on Mrs.
Loehrer. Both are elderly people. The
J. C. Rennison Co., at Sioux City, is ac-
quainted with the circumstances and
writes that these people are deserving
and that anything done for them will
be much appreciated.

A. Hall and W. H. Waddington, who
for the last five years have been with
August Lange, are proprietors of the
Lakeside Flower Shop, 4700 Sheridan
road. They opened their store December
16. The fixtures of the new store are of
mahogany finish. The walls are a warm

dent Peter Reinberg reviewed the work
of the commissioners in planning and
., recommending for purchase 20,000 acres
I" of timber land in the county to be pre-
served as natural iorests, and congratu-
lated the board on the excellent prog-
ress which it had made.

While the fuel question still worries a
considerable number of the local grow-
ers, Wietor Bros., whose requirements
run into the thousands of tons per year,
say they are not having and have not
had any trouble on this score. They burn
Pocahontas exclusively, contracted for
last spring, and have had regular deliv-
eries at the contract price from both of
the concerns with which they deal. Most
of the growers can look back to the
time when they obtained Pocahontas
coal at 90 cents per ton f . o. b. the mine
in West Virginia, but Mr. Wietor says
the contract price this year was $1.50
per ton, which means $3.60 delivered in
Chicago. On the spot market the same
coal has brought more than $6 for sev-
eral months.

Forty-one cases of German valley pips
reached Poehlmann Bros. Co. December
29. The shipment came via Holland and
arrived here in excellent condition.

If one is looking for an attractive
window decoration, it is almost certain
that it can be seen at Mangel's Palmer
House store. Last week the feature of
the display was several large vases of
American Beauties, supplemented by
Ophelias, poinsettias, snapdragons and
vandas. The sides and ceiling of the
window were decorated with Christmas
greens. John Mangel reports that Christ-
mas business was the largest he ever has
had, while decorating work, chief among
which was the Lolita Armour party,
kept him busy for New Year's.

Tt is market talk that the heaviest
single loss by frost during the before-
Christmas cold snap was on a shipment
of three boxes of orchids to A. L.
Vaughan & Co. from W. J. & M. S.
Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Being a little unsure about how safe-
ly valley pips will travel under existing
conditions, H. N. Bruns is having his
stock come forward in small shipments.
His theory was that he thus would mini-
mize the risk. But so far none of the
stock has suffered for the want of re-
frigeration on the Rotterdam steamers.
The fourth shipment, consisting of 250
cases, arrived in Chicago December 29.

The work of fitting up the new home
of the E. C. Amling Co. has progressed
so well that removal to it is expected to
take place next week.

An attack of the grip kept August F.
Poehlmann indoors during the last days

Stollery Bros., 1046 Wilson avenue,
had an attractive special window, deco-
rated for the holidays. The sides were
birch bark and cork, forming a rustic
fence and arbor. The floor was of solid
green, with small gold baskets contain-
ing viplets and birch bark baskets con-
taining cyclamen and azaleas. The
brothers report a heavy business in
red frieze-covered baskets containing
greens and winterberries. Azaleas sold
well.

A year-end vacation brought Guy W.

Home-grown violeta are markedly
scarce this year. According to Miss
0. A. Tonner, this is largely due to the
excessive heat and drought of last sum-
mer, which burned many plants on the
field.

The E. F. Winterson Co. had the first
tulips seen in the market this season.
They arrived December 29, but were
frozen, as the shipper, a New York
grower, had packed them in a corru-
gated box without sufficient wrapping.

Edward H. Goldenstein, who is on his

he has met with gratifying success. Mr.
Goldenstein intends to spend the pack-

The Market.

It is many years since the florists of
this city and vicinity experienced two
such busy weeks as those which came to
a close with the old year. The business
Christmas week exceeded all expecta-
tions. There was a general clean-up on
the part of everybody — greens, plants
and cut flowers going strongly, notwith-
standing a stiffening of prices. The gen-
eral report is that potted plants sold
better this year than ever before.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business has been excellent since
Christmas, the demand for New Year's
winding up December with a rush.
There was no advance in prices; just a
little starch went into them here and
there, encouraged by the unfavorable
weather and the brisk buying. There is
evidence that the crops were well timed.
Beauties and the higher grades of other
roses are much less abundant. The lower
average prices just now are partly ex-
plained by smaller flowers and shorter
or weaker stems. Still, the general
quality is quite as good, maybe a trifle
better, than usual at this season. White
flowers continue overabundant, particu-
larly Paper White narcissi. So, to a
lesser degree, do white carnations and
white roses.

The New Year's business was excel-
lent. The wholesale houses felt it most-
ly December 29 and 30. They were all
open Sunday, December 31, for at least
half a day. Most of them closed at 1
o'clock on New Year's day. There was
a heavy demand for funeral flowers Jan-
uary 2 that helped to dispose of some
of the white flowers at a trifle below
list prices.

Daffodils are a welcome addition to
the list of flowers. While generally a
little short in stem, the flowers are excel-
lent.

The general belief is that December
has been a most satisfactory month in
plants, flowers and supplies.

A Golden Wedding.

Most quietly, William J. Baker and
Mrs. Baker celebrated the golden anni-
versary of their wedding on the eve-
ning of Christmas day. Just a happy
home gathering, known to only a few,
which marked, the rounding out of many
years' peace that commenced soon after
Mr. Baker's return from the Civil war,
in which he served his country gallantly.
Mr. Baker is hard at work every day at

The Death of John Mclntyre.

Sadness has come to cut flower circles
at the festive season by the news from
New York of the death of John Mcln-
tyre, who was employed at Blooming-
dale 's.

John Mclntyre was for many years
one of our most prominent figures in
the wholesale world. It is currently be-
lieved that the word "hustler" was
coined expressly for John Mclntyre. The
way he got around with his boxes of cut
flowers was a marvel. Early and late
he was at it with an energy and zeal
that never flagged. His punctuality and
spppd were an inspiration to the young
salesmen.

Club Meeting.

The January meeting of the Florists'
Club was held in the club rooms in Hor-
ticultural hall, on Broad street below
Locust street, Tuesday evening. There
were certain domestic problems con-
nected with the budget that occupied
time and evoked discussion. Just what
the chef 'a pay may be and just what the
duties of the position may be, perhaps
are not for general perusal, so we will
pass on to the illustrated lecture on
''Rock Gardens" by Richard Rothe, of
Glenside, Pa., which was the attraction
of the evening.

Various Notes.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons arranged the
decorations for the first assembly ball
at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel, Jan-
uray 5.

Raymond Brunswick's engagement
was announced New Year's day. How
he found time, between his arduous du-
ties with the M. Rice Co. in working
hours and as scout master in leisure
moments, is surprising. Of course you
want the lovely lady's name, but that
must remain a mystery for this month.

Alexander B. Scott says that some-
where around 50,000 roses were cut at
Sharon Hill the week before Christmas.

Oswald J. Derousse, right-hand man
to President Rea, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, died suddenly New Year's
day, from asphyxiation; he was over-
come by the fumes while working at his
car in a closed garage. Mr. Derousse
owned the Colonial Greenhouses at Pleas-
antville, N. J., formerly owned by the
late Mrs. Mary S. Flemig. Thomas
Walker, brother of John Walker, of
Youngstown, O., is Mr. Derousse 's man-
ager. Mr. Derousse was highly esteemed
in trade circles and his death was a
great shock. He was 49 years of age.

MTLWAXTEEE.

The Market.

Business was quiet for New Year's.
There was not much more than the ordi-
nary call for stock, and, while prices
have not shown a marked drop, condi-
tions are not so good as they were last
year at this time. The call for corsages,
which is usually heavy, has not seemed
to materialize to the same extent this
year. There was a medium supply of
orchids of fine quality and these cleaned
up readily. Violets were scarce and
were cleared each day as soon as they
appeared. Singles were almost unob-
tainable. There was a limited number
of sweet peas, with long stems, that were
in great demand and cleaned out daily
at $3 per hundred. The stock was fancy
and well worth all it brought.

Roses in general were in good supply
and sold well. Mrs. Chas. Russell roses,
however, were scarce, and as the qual-
ity was fine they brought good prices.
The demand for Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia
and Ward was also strong. Carnations
cleaned up nicely and good prices were
obtained. The demand was good, and as
the stock was in good shape there was
little held over. Stevia was in quantity
and sold readily. There has been little
or no change in the valley situation. The
stock remains scarce, selling at $6 for
first quality, which is not extra good.

F. H. Holton, president of the Holton

home since December 20, with an attack
of acute rheumatism. His condition is
greatly improved, however, and he ex-
pects to be down at the store in a short

William Leverenz, who underwent an
operation recently, is reported to be im-
proving nicely and his condition is quite

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Business has continued brisk since
Christmas and many orders were placed
for New Year's. Grand balls, parties
and debutante affairs have been the
means of keeping most of the stores
busy. A vast amount of funeral work
has added to the steady and most satis-
factory business. It now is safe to say
that the holiday business was in every
way most satisfactory, and all florists
are well satisfied. The cut flowers per-
haps did not move so well as in previous
years, owing to extremely high prices,
but a big business was done in growing
plants, of which there happened to be a
large supply. We have had rather se-
vere weather since the holidays and
shipments have been greatly hindered,
in many cases frozen. The supply of
stock, however, has been fairly large.
Prices are a little easier since the rush,
but a good figure is demanded even now.

The supply of American Beauties is
good and these are seen in all grades.
Milady, Hoosier Beauty and Prince
d'Arenberg sell well. Some wonder-
fully fine Russell with long stems sell
easily. Maryland, Ophelia and Ward
are all in medium demand, and the qual-
ity is good. Violets have sold faster
this week and they are exceptionally
fine. Pink bouvardia reaches the mar-
ket and sells well. Orchids are plentiful

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The Christmas business was better
and larger — a satisfactory Christmas in
every way, from grower to consumer.
December 19 business became unusually
brisk. December 22 a heavy snow
storm struck Buffalo and seemed to
cripple everything. But December 23
there was a full recovery of activity.
Orders booked in advance this year
were unusually numerous. The snow
storm, however, delayed some shipments
until too late for use. It was ex-
pected by many that stock would be
scarce, but it was quite the contrary;
there seemed to be enough in nearly all
items. Christmas on a Monday provid-
ed a great relief to the storemen, as
this divided the usual rush between the
two days. It made it much more con-
venient in every way.

American Beauties were decidedly
scarce beginning December 22, this be-
ing due to the fact that other roses sold
at such high figures that many pre-
f«rred the Beauties, even if they cost a
little more. This does not mean that
Beauties sold at a low figure. Some
exceptionally fine Eussells reached the
market and sold instantly. Killarneys
also were good. Some of the Eich-
mond roses were rather weak in the
neck, but this was overlooked. All red
roses cleared at good prices; in fact, all
kinds of red flowers. Eed carnations
were rather scarce and sold at $15 per
hundred; Ward carnations were next in
demand. Enchantress dragged along
tomewhat slowly.

Valley, cattleyas and cypripediums
sold exceptionally well; also gardenias
and sweet peas, the latter being none
too plentiful, but of fine quality. Vio-
lets, both doubles and singles, realized
an extra heavy demand. The quality
was good. The demand for narcissi
exceeded the supply. Mignonette and
snapdragons jvere rather scarce.

Everything in plants cleared as well
as expected. In surveying the different
retail stores, few Christmas plants may
be seen. Poinsettias cleared well and
hampers of plants sold without diffi-
culty. Holly in general was poor and
somewhat scarce. As yet there has not
been a retailer whose business did not

■were exceedingly shy. There were a few
of these in larger sizes to be had, but
the medium size was markedly scarce.
The few offered were picked up early
and brought good prices. There was a
good supply of cyclamens on hand and
these sold readily. Poinsettias were
in good supply and cleared nicely. Prim-
ulas and Cincinnati begonias came in
for their share of the trade and many
palms, ferns, etc., were disposed of. In
cut flowers there was an elegant crop
of roses, and it was needed, as the out-
of-town shipments were held up for sev-
fral days and as a rule came in too late
for the Christmas trade. There were

many orders for Beauties, Russell and
violets that had to bp filled with other
stock. It is doubtful if at any other
time in the history of holidays stock
was so tied up as this season. There
were loads of flowers to be had, at any
price, from the express companies.
Carnations were in good supply, but
they did not move so readily as they
should, and it now looks as though
they are taking a back seat to a certain
extent. On a holiday people seem to
prefer roses and if they have to pay
a high price for carnations, so much the
worse for carnations. There was a scar-

Sherman Stephens & Son report that
the bad weather was hard on them at
Christmas time, as few people ventured
out to the cemetery; but trade has been
good since.

The Livingston Seed Co. reports a
large business at Christmas and since
then there has been much funeral work
and decorating.

T. J. Ludwig's said they had all the
force could take care of and were well
satisfied.

Underwood Bros, had their usual rush
during the holidays and are still busy.

The Munk Floral Co. had a fine lot of
cyclamens and a good, heavy cut of
roses.

E. Metzmaier reports business good
in all branches.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a
good cut of roses and carnations and a
good line of potted stock. It reports
business still heavy.

The New Year's trade seemed to be
good all around, according to reports
, coming in. J. M.

YELLOW SPOTS ON HAEEISII.

Yellow spots are showing on the foli-
age of my Lilium Harrisii plants. These
spots resemble the carnation yellows
somewhat, but they are quite distinct
and affect the foliage toward the lower
part of the staJk. Please tell me the cause
of the trouble and give a remedy for it.
V. R. F.— Ind.

Your lily foliage undoubtedly is af-
fected by a disease not at all uncommon
to this class of plants. The trouble is
usually caused by premature digging of
the bulbs, and propagating from dis-
eased stock. For this reason Harrisii
shipments have been comparatively
small of late years, but determined ef-
forts are being made in Bermuda, I be-
lieve, to stamp it out. If you have
treated your plants carefully you are
in no wise to blame for the trouble. It
is aggravated by an excess of water in

The Market.

The Christmas business was the larg-
est and, on the whole, the most satisfac-
tory this market has ever had. The
weather was clear but cold, the tempera-
ture ranging below zero most of the time.
Complaints on the part of customers
were few, as the retailers had two days
in which to make up and deliver stock.

Blooming plants and made-up baskets
were the principal lines sold. Cyela'
mens, begonias and poinsettias were the
leaders and some exceptionally fine
stock was offered. Eetailers suggested
plants to their customers, as they did not
want to scare them with the high prices
of cut flowers. As a consequence only a
few cut flowers were sold — speaking
comparatively. Baskets filled with
plants were sold in quantities. The
business done in this line \\'a3 beyond
expectations. The demand for corsage
bouquets also was heavy.

Cut stock was plentiful and prices re-
mained about as usual during the holi-
days, except for carnations, which were
much lower than last year because of
the large local production. Paper
Whites were in strong supply, but
cleared in a large number of funeral or-
ders. Wedding decorations were numer-
ous and table and hotel decorations kept
the market cleaned up.

From across the state line comes the
report that the holiday trade there was
better than ever. Ample preparations
were made and everything sold well.
Holly wreaths and trees found a good
market. Retailers were satisfied with
the way orders went out, though much
difficulty was experienced with out-of-
town orders.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray reports business all he
could expect. He sold everything on
hand.

Arthur Newell reports an increase of
twenty-two per cent in business for the
holidays. Potted plants and baskets
were the leaders. Poinsettias, begonias
and cyclamens sold well.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. made large
preparations for the holiday trade, but
even at that fell short of the demands
in everything they had. The quality of
the plants and cut flowers was the best
ever produced for the holidays. This
concern had many orders for decora-
tions.

The Oakwood Floral Co. had a large
quantity of fine sweet peas with long
stems; also some extra fine carnations.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports trade
better than ever. "Couldn't take care
of all the business; sold out completely,"
was the report. A new ribbon case,
2Gx60x66, will be installed soon.

Plant Co. reports the best business ever.
Plants moved v/ell and more could have
been sold. Corsage work was exception-
ally heavy. January 1 Mrs. Lamb be-
came manager of the store. The for-
mer manager, G. K. Parker, will go into
business for himself. T. J. Bracken-
berry will take up a position with C. P.
Mueller, of Wichita, Kan. He also was
with the George M. Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co.

Tred Fromholdt had to work night
and day to get out his Christmas orders.
He was cleaned up on everything he had
or could get hold of.

Miss Jennie Murray had a good trade.
Funeral work has been unusually heavy
during the last two weeks. She had to
stay home for several days to rest up
after the Christmas rush.

A. F. Barbe sold practically every-
thing he had except a few pot plants.
He sold 500 holly wreaths at 50 cents
and 100 wreaths of different greens at
$1 to $10 each. He had plenty of cut
flowers and plants for his trade and did
not have to buy anything.

W. .T. Barnes had a heavy business.
He sold more than 125 made-up baskets.
He had a large quantity of begonias in
4-inch to 8-inch pots that were fine and
sold quickly. His carnation crop was
unusually strong.

Edward Ellsworth reports the best
Christmas trade he ever had and that no
complaints were heard. He was sur-
prised at the number of baskets sold.
Cyclamens and begonias were his best
sellers in the plant line. Mr. Ellsworth
had some Dutch hyacinths in bloom and
these proved a great success. These
were the new Dutch hyacinths that were
grown one year in France.

August Luther, Jr., says his Christmas
trade would have been double that of
last year could he have procured the
help to take care of the store. A car,
which he had hired, was smashed, so he
had to make deliveries in his own car,
and this took him away from the store.

Miss Lou Boggess said her Christmas
trade this year tripled the best business
she ever has had.

Ed. A. Humfeld reports an excellent
holiday trade. He was the only one to
have azaleas in bloom and these went
fast. His basket trade was far ahead
of that of last year.

.Tohn Stevens had an unusually heavy
crop of carnations for the holiday trade,
averaging more than 3,000 cut carnations
each day.

good. This concern had an excellent dis-
play in front of its store — about eight
Christmas trees, ten feet in height, with
colored electric lights.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that two con-
signments were frozen. They sold 30,000
roses and 9,000 carnations. This was
locally grown stock.

Henry Kusik & Co. say that three of
their consignments froze. There were
about 5,000 carnations, 5,000 roses and
10,000 violets in the consignments.

Visitors last week were Robert
Newcomb, of the American Bulb Co.,
Chicago, and H. Cheeseman, of Ralph M.

The Market.

Prices have suffered a considerable
decline from those of a week ago. The
after-Christmas demand proved to be
less brisk than that of a year ago, al-
though the holiday trade went far
ahead of that of 1915. Roses seemed
to be affected more than other flowers,
and, although they now are decidedly
off crop with most of the big growers,
sales drag considerably. American
Beauties sell slowly; even fancy Hadley
and Russell roses do not move as they
should and it looks at the time of writ-
ing as if a slump were imminent. We
are having the coldest weather of the
season and, while this checks produc-
tion, it cripples buying. Carnations held
up well until December 29; then a de-
cline set in. Violets have held up well,
but are not the popular flowers they
were a few years ago.

Lilies are overabundant and a large
number have to be carried over each
day; the same holds true of Paper

Whites. The latter made splendid prices
last year. As a consequence many more
jrrowers took them up, with the inevita-
ble result. Freesias are coming from
several growers; also Golden Spur nar-
cissi. So far Roman hyacinths are only
arriving in small lots. Calendulas are
good, making up to $5 per hundred.
Wallflowers sell tolerably well; also for-
get-me-nots. Sweet peas are overdone.
T never saw so many in December be-
fore.

Rather more gardenias are coming in
and cattlcyas are more plentiful. Val-
ley continues high-priced, but the de-
mand for it is not heavy. There is only
a moderate call for asparagus.

New Year's trade was scarcely as
good as expected. January 1 was a
state legal holiday for the first time
and the fact that it fell on a Mondav

made matters worse. This combination
of circumstances hurt business consider-
ably, but nevertheless Boston had the
greatest New Year's celebration it ever
b»d and a fair business was done.

Various Notes.

W. D. Howard, of Milford, is one of
the leading carnation growers for the
Boston market, his flowers being handled
by George H. Noyes at the Flower Ex-
change. His stock looks well this sea-
son, especially Matchless, Ward, Pink
Delight, Eureka, Beacon and a salmon
sport of Winsor. Mr. Howard has 1,000
plants of a good, bright crimson seed-
ling grown by A. B. Knowlton, the re-
sult of a cross between Beacon and Fenn.
Next season he will plant Cottage Maid.
He is planning to attend the Indian-
apolis carnation convention.

W. H. Ward, of Montvale, has a fine
crop of forget-me-nots and freesias com-
ing in. His carnations look well. He is
growing chiefly Matchless, Ward, Pink
Delight, Benora and Beacon.

The Boston Florists' Bowling League
had to suspend all contests during the
holiday rush, but now that business is
on a more normal basis competitions
were resumed January 4.

Wax Bros., the hustling Tremont
street florists, did a record Christmas
business, and they report that the New
Year's trade also was good.

E. J. Ahearn, one of our specialists in
yellow marguerites, now is having a
splendid cut of both these and calen-i
dulas.

Fred L. Sly, of South Stoughton, has
dropped violet culture as unprofitable
and now devotes his glass to sweet peas,
which he will follow with tomatoes. The

E. E. Wadsworth & Co., of North-

Benora, Matchless, Pink Delight, Ward
and other carnations, in addition to
f reesias, callas and mignonette.

Alexander Porter, of Woburn, still
is sending in some good chrysanthe-
mums and large lots of Princess violets.

D. F. Hutchinson & Son, of Lexing-
ton, still are cutting good Bonnaffon
mums, in addition to sweet peas and
carnations.

H. J. Borowski & Son, of Eoslindale,
liad a superb lot of Cincinnati begonias
for Christmas, which sold out clean.
Of cyclamens they had 5,000 magnifi-
cent plants, but they are blooming later
than usual, about 1,000 being open for
the holidays. Calls for the remainder
come in faster than they open. Some
extra fine plants will be held in a cold
house for Easter.

Miss E. A. Washington, of North
Stoughton, is one of our few local wom-
en florists. Her flowers are sold at the
Boston Cooperative Market. Carna-
tions, stevias and a variety of other
stock are grown. Mrs. J. F. Flood, of
Montvale, another grower who is a stall
holder in the same market, specializes
in asparagus.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold a field day at Framingham,
Mass., Saturday, January 20. Special
ears will leave Park square, Boston, at
1 o'clock sharp. This takes the place
of the field day postponed December IG
on account of a heavy snow storm.

Anderson Bros., of Woburn, are souii-
ing in nice shipments of Engueliard
mums, pink ericas, Calendula Oranj^c
King, Paper Whites, stevias and (Joil-
frcy callas.

.Tohn Lynch now is salesman at tlio
Cooperative Market for N. F. Comlcy,
who sends in a large variety of flowers,
including roses, carnations, stevias,
bachelor's buttons, violets and sweet
peas. ■

A. G. Luiidquist, of Woburn, is this
season -specializing in sweet peas and
carnations, and is making fine sliij)
ments of each at present.

Mrs. E. K. Farr, of Stoneliam, grows
carnations of as fine a grade as comes
to the Boston market. Tliis season
Matchless, Alice, Peerless Pink, Beacon,
Benora, Ward, Fenn and small lots of
Nancy and Belle Washburn are being
tried. Good sweet peas are grown here.

Mr. Sanborn, of the .\. T. Stearns
Lumber Co., says that in spite of pre-
vailing high prices for lumber, hard-
ware, glass and labor, business in green-
liouse materials is better than ever, and
within a few days his concern has
booked orders for several large houses.

Remember the installation night of
tlie Gardeners' and Florists' Club, De-
cember 16. Ladies, as usual, are cor-
dially invited. Following the regular
business, there will be entertainment,
collation and daiicing.

The Budlong Rose Co. states that its
Christmas trade exceeded that of all
previous years. At present its liouses
are somewhat off crop, an average of
5,000 to 6,000 roses coming in daily.

The coldest weather here of the pres-
ent winter ushered in 1917. Icemen are
preparing to house their crops. May
the present ye«r prove to be one of hap-
piness and prosperity for all readers of
The Review. W. N. C.

ST. Loxns.

The Market.

Business since Christmas is reported
satisfactory to the leading retailers.
New Year's festivities caused a lively
demand for cut flowers and decorative
plants. New Year's day society kept
open house, which caused a big demand
for decorative stock, both cut flowers
and plants.

On the whole the members of the
trade here arc well pleased with the
business done both for Christmas and
New Year's. A little lull is expected
for this week, but many large social af-
fairs are booked for the later weeks of
January.

Last week cut stock was quite plenti-
ful and quite a drop in prices took place,
especially on carnations, as the best
stock brought only $2 per hundred. In-
deed, many clean-up sales were reported
at $10 per thousand.

Roses held up fairly well, except Kil-
larney, of which there were so many
the price fell to a low point. Beauties

sold at $6 per dozen for the best and
long Eussell brought $4 per dozen.
Ophelia has been and is much in de-
mand, but quite scarce. Sunburst, too,
was not equal to the call.

Sweet peas are more plentiful and
some extra fancy Spencers brought as
high as $1.50 per hundred while the
demand was large. Violets are selling
clean at $1 perl hundred, but are expected
to become plentiful, especially if the fine
weather continues. The bulk of this
stock comes from Kirkwood. Orchids
sold fairly well last week at the re-
duced price of 50 cents for cattleyas and
25 cents for cjT)ripediums. Paper
Whites are becoming a glut, but lilies
are scarce and command good prices.
Plumosus sells well, as do most other
greens.

Various Notes.

Fire, supposed to have started from
the boiler, did considerable damage in
the orchid house at the Oscar Schultz
range, December 26. None of the em-
ployees of the place was in the house at
the time. An alarm was sounded and
the fire was quickly extinguished, but
considerable tearing out had to be done
in the wooden structure adjoining the
greenhouse, as the flames had worked
their way up between the partitions to
the roof.

At the annual meeting of Clan Mac-
Leod, Hugh S. Meikle was elected past

Seed Trade News

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION
President, Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, held
its semiannual reunion last week, sixteen
of the company's salesmen being present.

Beans may not yet be worth their
weight in gold, but Harris Bros. Seed Co.^
Mt. Pleasant, Mich., set a number solitaire
in scarf pins as New Year's remembrances
for its friends in the seed trade.

The approaching convention of can-
ners at Cleveland promises to break all
records for attendance, according to the
reservations made at the two leading
hotels. The seed trade will be largely
represented.

The changes that time brings forth are
well shown by a letter from a large retail
seed house in England, recently received
by The Review, in which the English house
expresses its wish to get in touch with seed
growers in America.

A meeting of the executive committee
of the American Seed Trade Association
will be held at the Hotel Vanderbilt, New
York, January 30. The principal busi-
ness will be the selection of the place for
the Juno convention and plans for a large
meeting there.

The British trade press reports the
death of W. E. Bunting, of Colchester,
who was known to many American seeds-
men as a grower of special strains of vege-
table and flower seeds. One of his sons
is G. A. Bunting, of Bunting & Co., whole-
sale seed merchants, London.

The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis.,
follows a practice that is believed to be
decidedly unusual in the trade. A pre-
liminary edition of the general catalogue
is made up carrying the garden seed
pages only and is distributed about two
weeks earlier than the complete catalogue.
The 1917 edition of the garden seed book
consists of thirty-two pages and the cover,
while the general book will be ninety-six
pages and cover.

J. BoLGiAXO & Son, Baltimore, were
well represented at the annual convention
of seed analysts at New York last week.
Miss Jesse L. Anderson, in charge of the
seed laboratory ; J. Henry Joyeux, in
charge of the field seed department, and
Morris Robinson, who has charge of the
retail store, were in attendance. Bolgiano
& Son claim to have the most complete
private laboratory for the testing of seeds
in the United States.

W. Cuthbertson, of the Edinburgh
seed house of Dobbie & Co., well known
to the trade in America, who has done
splendid service in recent years as presi-
dent of the Horticultural Trades' Asso-
ciation of Great Britain, has tendered his
resignation for the reason that ' ' the asso-
ciation requires, at the present moment,
a president who is an enthusiastic tariff

NEW YORK, N. Y.

Mention Th« Brlew when yon write.

One service the war has done the seed
trade of America is to turn attention to
the creation of a home supply of flower
seeds. It probably will be some years
before the quality can be made as depend-
able as in the case of the best German
stock, but even this year the supply of
acceptable stock is much greater than
ever before.

It will be unanimously admitted that
the crop of gladiolus bulbs vras light
this season, both in the United States
and in Holland, but there is difference of
opinion as to whether or not second
hands will experience a shortage in the
spring. Because of the shortage, deal-
ers have bought with avidity. Impor-
tations are and will be heavy. There
are those who believe a good number of
dealers will find they have overbought.

FEEE SEEDS OF 1916.

In the annual report of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, it is stated that "during
the fiscal year 1916 there were distrib-
uted on congressional and miscellaneous
requests 12,417,972 packages of vege-
table seed and 3,754,870 packages of
flower seed, or a total of 16,172,842 pack-
ages, each containing five packets of dif-
ferent kinds. There were also distrib-
uted 14,202 packages of lawn-grass seed,
819 packets of tobacco seed, 10,364
boxes of narcissus and tulip bulbs, and
96,000 strawberry plants, comprising
sixteen varieties.

"A distribution of new and rare field
seeds was made throughout the entire
United States, having for its object the
dissemination of seed of new and rare

Fillbasket tomato. This seed may be
obtained from Charles Sharpe & Co.,

that Messrs. Sharpe hold the sole whole-

know of any source in the United States
where it may be procured.

In reply to a question in The Eeview
for December 21, I would say that I am
growing the Fillbasket tomato in our
houses from seed procured from Sutton

Winter, Son & Co., 64 Wall street. New

forcing I have ever handled.

The Market.

Business during holiday week was
exceptional. The greatest call has been
for corsage bouquets, resulting from
numerous social functions, which inci-
dentally increased the amount of deco-
rative work. Small flowers, therefore,
have been in great demand, including
small roses, sweet peas, violets, orchids
and valley. Small roses have been
scarce because of their greater popu-
larity. Sweet peas have' been of good
quality and were good property at $1
and $1.50 per hundred. The local grow-
ers of violets cleaned up well at good
figures, owing to the late arrival of
eastern shipments. Valley and orchids
have been scarce, even at good prices.

In the cut flower market roses have
excelled in popularity this holiday
season. Bussell disqualified American
Beauties for first place. The red roses,
including Milady, Bichmond, Hoosier
Beauty and Hadley, for the last ten
days have been without rivals, and
roses in other colors have fared well.
These have been of good quality, rang-
ing in price from $4 to $25 per hun-
dred. Carnations in red and deep colors
have stood at the head of their class,
bringing from $7 to $8. White and
lighter shades are in less demand and
make only from $4 to $6. Some poor,
inferior stock, saved too long, can be
had at the purchaser's price.

Funeral work has made valley a
valuable and scarce article. Easter
lilies have been especially rare, but
callas are arriving more freely and find
a ready sale. Narcissi have been clean-
ing up better because of their useful-
ness in funeral work, and good stock
can be had at $3 and $4 per hundred.
Calendulas are in the market, but they
have lost popularity. Snapdragons are
again seen and yellow daisies and
bouvardias are welcomed. Pot plants
have been selling well. Southern
greens have been arriving in much bet-
ter shape.

Various Notes.

H. B. Euppert, of the Carbone Art
Pottery Mfg. Co., of Boston, was a
recent visitor.

John Bieman met with an unfortu-
nate accident the day after Christmas.
In stepping off his front porch he
slipped and fell, dislocating two fingers
and badly bruising his knee.

During the holidays the local store
of the E. G. Hill Co. made more than
200 corsage bouquets in three days'
time. Many of these were expensive,
containing orchids and valley.

Edward Eeinken, who took over the
greenhouses of his father and brother
July 1, discontinued business the day
before Christmas. The stock is for sale
and the greenhouses for rent.

The usual mistake in regard to roses
was made again this year. At Christmas
the supply of Ward, Baby Doll, George
Elger and Sweetheart roses was more
than satisfactory, but at New Year's,
the real corsage bouquet day of the
year, practically none of these varieties
was available.

PACIFIC Coast Department

Capitola, Cal. — James A. Brown, man-
ager of Brown's Bulb Eanch, has re-
turned from an eastern trip of several
weeks' duration, seeking orders for
freesia bulbs for delivery from 1917
crop.

Sunnyside, Wash. — After six years of
service with the Sunnyside Florist,
George D. Robertson, who at present is
residing in Fort Atkinson, Wis., has
made plans with J. H. Newkirk for the
establishment of a florists' business here
next spring.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Never before in the writer's experi-
ence has there been such a scarcity pf
flowers for the Christmas holidays.
While all were prepared for a shortage,
no one could have foretold such a dearth
as was experienced. Although wholesal-
ers wrote, wired and otherwise advised
their customers of what was coming, or-
ders continued to pour in right up to the
last minute and since then the wires
have been kept hot explaining why they
were not filled. Truly at such times a
wholesaler 's lot is not & happy one.

In the retail stores the same story was
told. Several of the better class stores
closed early Sunday, December 24, as
they could not fill the orders already
taken. Two Christmas leaders were
practically out of the market; they were
cut poinsettias and plants of azaleas.
The former were so badly bruised by the
high winds prevailing that they were al-
most useless, while the azaleas in some
cases had not even arrived, let alone
being brought into bloom at the holiday.
Several firms report their plants frozen,
while others have been so long on the
road that they had not a single green
leaf when they arrived and had to be
thrown away.

In roses there was some excellent local
stock, as well as that shipped from the
north, the latter including some extra
choice long Hadley and Russell. Carna-
tions from indoors were out of the game
early and the field-grown flowers did not
nearly measure up to the demand.

At the time of writing there is a big
call for flowers for the New Year's
tournament of roses at Pasadena, but
there is little chance for the orders being
filled. Night after night the glass goes
down below freezing, even in our most
favored localities, and naturally the
flowers do not open. Violets are scarce
but good in quality, while the bulbous
stock is coming in slowly.

Various Notes.

Having doubled their glass area, W.
Armacost & Co., of Sawtelle, naturally
looked for a far bigger holiday trade
than ever before — and they were not
disappointed. In roses the output was
more than doubled, while plants also
were sold in huge quantities. A number
of cyclamens that did not quite make
the holiday market are now finely in
bloom and ought to sell rapidly on ac-
count of the scarcity of cut flowers.

At Darling's Flower Shop the doors
had to be closed because everything was
sold out, and H. Reeve Darling says he

W« ar« muck pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review; orders •have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

Germain Seed & Plant Co.

Los Anceles, By M. L. Germain, Pres.

had a magnificent trade. Wallace Boyd,
manager here, had the misfortune to in-
jure his eye with a branch of redwood
the day after Christmas and is suffering
sevfere pain.

Wright's Flower Shop reports the
busiest Christmas ever known and Man-
ager. W. warn looked a tired inan the
day after. Some excellent azaleas were
shown here, finely finished and full of
blooms.

Wolfskins' & Morris Goldenson not
only did a big holiday business but a
lot of good funeral work as well.

A big advance over last year's was
Frank Lichtenberg 's report.

O. C. Saakes had a splendid business
and says he does not know what he
would have done without those big north-
ern-grown roses,

J. W. Wolters' store looked as though
the high wind of the day before had got
inside December 25, all the fine stock
he had being cleaned out. A splendid
Christmas was the report.

All shipping orders had to be cut at
the S. Murata & Co. establishment, but
at that an immense business waa done.

Some clever jokesmith evolved the
novel idea of sending loaded cigars out
by mail at Christmas. One of the vic-
tims probably will lose his eyesight, but
one who fortunately escaped was J. O.
Burns, manager of the vegetable seed de-
partment at the Germain Seed & Plant
Co. store. Joe handed over his Christ-
mas present to the police, who are seek-
ing the sender. ,. ,„ ,

The L. A, Floral Co. has been shipping
excellent Victory carnations during the
holidays.

Many growers are absent from the
California flower market on account of
the cold weather, but at the time of writ-
ing a warmer rain is falling and things
should be better shortly.

Howard & Smith report a banner
Christmas business. Their large store
was finely decorated and a large force
were on the jump throughout the holi-
day. ,

of their new 1917 catalogue and are giving
it broadcast distribution. This is their

It contains many new features, such as
hints to the home vegetable gardener, how
gardening may be made easy, etc. In
fact, the supplementary booklet, called
the "Garden Manual," which heretofore
has been printed separately, is this year
incorporated in the big Annual, and is
claimed to be one of the most complete
seed books published. It contains answers
to more than 1000 questions and gives in-
formation regarding all varieties of plants
listed and is fully illustrated. Not only
does it tell all about seeds, but gives full
data concerning the correct tools and im-
plements agriculturists should use to ob-
tain the best results. Valuable hints on
Poultry, Spraying, Fertilizing and the use
of Insecticides are also given.

fying to all branches of the trade. The
growers had a close clean-up of season-
able stock, the wholesalers report a ban-
ner business and the retailers have no
complaints to make. Nearly all the
downtown establishments sold out their
flowering plants, and reports from the
outlying districts indicate that the flo-
rists in those sections did an unusually
heavy business. It is believed the rain
helped these, as many people bought
near home, who otherwise might have
gone downtown to place their orders.
Notwithstanding the fact that larger
stocks than ever before were disposed

lowed their orders to be delivered either

Prices were well maintained. Custom-
ers picked out what they wanted and
paid the prices, without comment for
the most part. More orchids could have
been used, and it will be two or three
weeks before many more are available.
A little valley appeared, but the offer-
ings were not suflSciently large to cut
much figure. Only a few stores had it.
Violets are on the short side of the mar-
ket, the cut showing the effect of the

not overplentiful. Best American
Beauties retailed at $15 to $20, Russell
at $10 and other good roses at $5 per
dozen. There is a nice cut of carhationa,

and these clear well, with prices no
easier. Large chrysanthemums are oflf
the market and Chinese bush mums are
about gone, such stock receiving but
little attention. A few cold storage
lilies are offered at rather high prices.
China lilies are held back by the cold
and the limited offerings sell well at
high prices. Daffiodils are appearing,
but it will require a little warm weather
to bring them out in good shape. Anemo-
nes are plentiful and popular.

Various Notes.

T. Mosco is well satisfied with Christ-
mas business. He was sold out of flow-
ering plants by 4 o'clock December 25,
and had good success with holly and mis-
tletoe baskets.

C. W. Ward sent down some nice car-
nations from Eureka, Cal., to Pelicano,
Eossi & Co. for the holiday trade.

According to Manager Shellgrain,
business Christmas week at J. B. Bo-
land's store showed a gain of twenty
per cent over that of the corresponding
period of last year. He says funeral
work is keeping them busy this week.

Mrs. E, E. Darbee says Christmas
business at her retail store was four
times as large as ever before. She had
plenty of violets for shipping and filled
a large out-of-town demand.

Y. Oshima is bringing in some nice
Eed Eadiance roses from his place at
Stege, Contra Costa county, where, lie
says, he grows the only ones of this va-
riety in that vicinity.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing in
a fine cut of freesias. The company has
a whole house devoted to freesias, and
now is shipping about 200 dozen blooms
per day to Los Angeles. The cut is
twice daily, making about 500 dozen per
day, which is said to be the greatest cut
ever made in this market.

After a marked scarcity in valley
for a good many weeks, limited offerings
arrived Christmas week. P. Ferrari
brought in a few dozen and will have
more soon. Domoto Bros, have many
pips in and will begin to cut in about
two weeks, so the outlook is brighter
than for some time.

Walter Hofinghoff, of MacEorie &
McLaren, says they had a wonderful
Christmas trade. As this was their first
year in the retail business, they had no
way of gauging their needs, but they sold
twice as much stock as they had antici-
pated. Truck-load after truck-load ar-
rived from their nurseries in Burlingame
and it seemed to clean up about as fast
as it came in. The best selling commod-
ity at this establishment was heather
plants. Quantities of them were sold and
they were especially popular with dis-
criminating people, who were glad to get
away from poinsettias and the other reg-
ulation things. In addition to a heavy
store trade, MacEorie & McLaren had
many decorations Christmas week, which
necessitated their remaining open all
night on several occasions.

Miss Bertha Cohn, of the Bellevue
Florist Shop, says they had a good clean-
up at Christmas, the demand running to
flowering plants more strongly than ever.
She noted a heavy transient trade, in
addition to their regular customers, and
says that people did not seem to hesitate
about prices. Cjjifoinia poppies at-
tracted much attention here. They
were used effectively on several Christ-
mas dinner tables in conjunction with
cornflowers.

sarie, reports a splendid holiday busi-

The Market.

The Christmas rush is past and
everyone is glad. It certainly was a
meny Christmas, at least for the flo-
rists, who are unanimous in proclaiming
it the best Christmas business ever
known, Eeal Christmas weather pre-
vailed, cold and snappy and with
]ilenty of snow, which condition usually
lieightens the Christmas spirit. Stock
was good in every line, and, though
not quite equal to the demand, was
equal in most cases to the ability to
handle it. English holly sold well, but
oastern holly was of poor grade and
many eases were carried through prac-
tically untouched. Wreaths of mag-
nolia, frieze, boxwood, etc., sold mod-
erately well, but the public seems to be
getting out of the notion of buying
this sort of thing. Hed frieze sold well
'•y the yard, and quite a revival of
interest in ruscus was noted. All
potted plants sold well and at good
prices, the best sellers being- poinset-
tias, cyclamens and primulas. Azaleas
Were limited in quantity, the only ones
in bloom in time for Cliristmas being
those held over from last year, this
year's stock arriving, in some instances,
'>ut only three or four weeks before the
liolidays.

BABY RAMBLERS

At Any
Time

In Any
Quantity

This new class of miniature roses is gaining won-
derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their
exceeding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur-
passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their
possibilities are worth your attention and consideration.

A Few of tlie Best:
Echo Orleans Mrs. Taft

Phyllis Ellen Poulsen Jeanne d'Arc

Ema Teschendorff Baby Dorothy Maman Turbat
Jessie Baby Elegance Geo. Elger

BABY DOLL

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

Also special piices on all commerial varieties of

The Florists' Review

January 4, 1917.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The Christmas rush began in earnest
on Friday, December 22, and continued
for four days. The amount of business
done was limited only by the quantity
of stock to be had. The shortage in car-
nations, roses and violets was relieved
somewhat by shipments from California,
but in most cases the orders were only
partly filled. A few of the larger-sized
pans of poinsettias and some inferior
cyclamens and azaleas were not sold, but
everything else went. Made-up baskets
were in great demand. The cuts of roses
were' of better quality than usual and
brought better prices. As a rule, both
cut and potted stock sold for more
money than last year. An increase
over last year of twenty to thirty-three
per cent in Christmas sales is reported
by the well established firms. Several
stores opened recently sold everything
procurable.

Undoubtedly this has been the most
profitable Christmas that Portland flo-
rists have ever experienced. A notable
feature wa^ the fine quality of the be-
gonias, and the growers are to be com-
mended for producing such splendid
stock. Favorable weather helped the
trade.

As there were no funerals December
24 or Christmas day, a large amount of
[Oontlnued on paire 72.]

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

Christmas shopping extended over a
longer period here than usual this year.
Considerable business was done on Fri-
day. On Saturday there was a cease-
less flow of customers and on Sunday the
stores had all they could do to handle
the trade. Even on Monday there were
a considerable number of belated orders
to attend to.

Business was better than it has been
for years. Everyone seemed to have
money to spend and most of tlie stores
were practically out of stock before
noon on Monday, though the growers
made strenuous efforts to send in a fresh
supply that morning. In all lines of
flowers there was a liberal supply to
start with. Quantities of late mums
were quickly disposed of and carnations
were cleaned up entirely. The sale of
cut poinsettias seemed to hang fire until
the last, but there was a phenomenal de-
mand for potted poinsettias, which, pos-
sibly, were finer and more plentiful thau
ever before. Roses were plentiful and
sold quickly at enhanced prices. A small
quantity of Romans were soon disposed
of and more liberal supplies of Paper
Whites met with a good demand.

Probably more cyclamen plants were
sold during the week than in any such
period before. There were quantities of
them and while some were fine plants,
others were mediocre, but nearly all were
disposed of. Begonias were plentiful
and sold well at fair prices. Primula
obconica and malacoides were in good
supply and sold readily. Peppers and
cherries did not seem so plentiful as in
former years. A few lilacs were shown
and just a few azaleas, at fancy prices.
There was a good demand for ferns.
Araucarias were few and far between.
There was no valley and there were few
orchids.

Since Christmas, business has contin-
ued excellent; so the harassed florists

As indicating how the service idea \3
developing in the sale of nursery stock, the
new catalogue of Griffing Nurseries, Port
Arthur, Tex., devotes practically one-half
its space to plans and suggestions for the
benefit of those not well posted in th«
horticulture of the extreme southern part
of the United States.

The manifest of the Dutch steamer
Maartensdyk, which docked at New York
December 25, lists the following forward-

dam": Sheldon & Co., 77 cases roots;
T. Cogger, 13 cases roots; Hampton &

NO EVASION OF QUARANTINE.

No violations of the Plant Quaran-
tine Act were reported to the United
States district attorneys during the fis-
cal year ended June 30, 1916, according
to the annual report for that year of
Attorney-General T. W. Gregory. Nine
cases, however, were pending at the close
of the year.

During the fiscal year, eighty-seven
cases under the Insecticide Act were re-
ported, seventy-six of which were pre-
sented as criminal offenses and eleven aa
civil. Cases charging 103 violations
were terminated during the year, ninety-
three of which were criminal and ten
civil. Fines were imposed in eighty
cases, amounting to $2,040. At the end
of the year prosecutions involving fifty-
eight violations were pending. Sen-
tence veas suspended in one case.

peyresia molesta, is believed to have
been introduced from Japan. So fat
Jis tlie department's entomologists
know, it has not been found in America
otlier than in the District of Columbia
and in the adjoining territory in Mary-
land and Virginia. The specialists are
desirous of knowing if the insect has

attacked peach, plum or cherry trees
elsewhere in the United States.

The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the na-
ture of its injury to pcacli trees. It
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at-

tacked in turn, the abnormal stimula-
tion of lateral growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A
copious flow of gum from the twig-
ends often follows the attacks of the
caterpillars.

In attacking fruit the young cater-
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows,
makes its way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored and more or less slimy.
LarvsB entering at the side of the fruit
are more likely to eat out pockets or
cavities in the flesh.

The full-grown caterpillar spins a
whitish silk cocoon in which to pupate.
Moths emerge in the spring for egg lay-
ing by the time the shoots are well out.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Christmas business as a whole was
gratifying and everyone seems well
pleased with the returns. The "shop
early" idea seemed to prevail in Knox-
ville, and orders were placed and deliv-
eries made earlier than usual. High-
priced stock did not sell extra well, but
flowers of medium grade and price were
in great demand.

Baum's "Home of Flowers" had a
rushing Christmas trade. They had
practically everything in the way of cut
flowers and plants that could be wished
for, except poinsettias. They placed im-
mortelle wreaths and covers on display
about December 1, and these were prac-
tically all sold out before Christmas.
Business has been good since Christmas
and nothing has gone to waste.

The C. W. Crouch Co. reports a good
Christmas trade. It had the largest
number and the finest poinsettia plants
ever grown in this section, and these
were cleaned up. There was an ample
supply of cut flowers, but nothing was
left over.

A. H. Dailey experienced an unusually
good Christmas trade and the percent-
age of increase in his business probably
was greater than that of any other flo-
rist, due to the enlargement of his store
and its new location. He had a full
line of cut flowers and some fine plants,
such as cyclamens, poinsettias, Christ-
mas peppers, narcissi, hyacinths, etc. His
store was closed Saturday night, Decem-
ber 23, and was not opened until Monday
morning, December 25, adhering strictly
to the Sunday closing law passed by the
Knoxville Florists' Society several
months ago.

Mrs. W. E. Ryno reports a splendid
trade and estimates an increase of
thirty-three per cent over that of last
year. Her sales were principally of
plants, of which she had some fine speci-
mens, especially poinsettias and ferns.
She had a nice cut of narcissi and snap-
dragons of her own, but had to buy
most of her roses and carnations. Since
Christmas she has been unusually busy
with funeral work. R. E. M.

conica were especially fine and proved
great sellers for the retailers, 6-inch
pots selling readily at retail for from
$3 to $4 each. His specimen cyclamens
were fine and sold on sight.

Bernson & Halle came in with a good
and large cut of Chadwick and Maud
Dean mums, which found a ready
market.

Henry Keimers handles the output
from his own houses almost entirely.
The quality of stock produced always
is good. He reports the holiday busi-
ness as being all that could be asked.

Jack Burt has weathered his first
Christmas in his new store, and is
pleased over the showing made.

C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist
Co., says it was by far the biggest
Christmas he has known. All lines sold
well, especially the more expensive
plant arrangements and large azaleas.

The Hoyt Bros. Co. worked harder
than ever before and did a bigger busi-
ness than ever before. So great was
the volume of business that the com-
pany closed its doors at noon December
24 and refused orders until the follow-
ing day, not so much because of lack
of stock, but because of the physical
inability to care for more orders.

A business change has been announced
in which the store, stock and business
of A. J. Burt becomes the property of
Adolph Donart and J. E. Stapleton,
who will conduct the business under the
firm name of Donart-Stapleton — House
of Flowers. Mr. Burt has been in the
landscape business for some twenty
years, and after a few months' rest will
devote his time entirely to this line. He
has conducted a flower store for about
six or seven years. He will retain his
greenhouses on Augusta avenue, using
tliem in connection with his landscape
work. Mr. Burt contemplates a trip
with Mrs. Burt to California and pos-
sibly to Honolulu before returning to
Spokane. The new firm is composed of
two men who bring to the venture
practical experience in both ends of
the business. Mr. Donart is the owner
and active manager of the largest
range of glass in this section, about
70,000 feet, at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
The output of this range will be han-
dled largely through tlie Spokane store,
which will be managed by Mr. Staple-

apprenticeship and later remaining in
their employ for twelve additional
years. He came to Spokane about a
year ago from Brown Bros., of Van-

is fully qualified to fill the position he

Carnation Cuttings

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that
you very rarely get a bargain in cheap cuttings or plants.

We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very
best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line.

The quality is right. The packing is right, and, above all, the prices are right, and you
have our absolute guarantee with every order sent out.

ture, as officially reported, was 25 de-
grees, but in many places outside of the

Various Notes.

The Tonseth Floral Co. and the Floral
f^tiidio opened branch stores for the
^'liriatmas rush.

The Holden Floral Co. and August
■^itzewitz share the honors as growers

of the fine Cincinnati and Melior be-
gonias.

Clarke Bros, showed some yellow tu-
lips in pans, the first of the season. This
firm had some good azaleas, carried-over
stock, which sold as high as $10 in
baskets.

Max Smith had a special run on cycla-
mens. -

The Martin & Forbes Co. cut a quan-
tity of extra fine Ophelia roses.

The Tonseth Floral Co. cut over 150
dozen mums and sold them readily, get-
ting $5 per dozen for the best ones.

A. F. Lalanc thinks he has a good

location for business, opposite the main
entrance to the post-office.

O. E. Moeller, who was formerly with
the store force of Max Smith, has
opened a store at 326 Alder street.

F. A. Van Kirk cut some extra fine car-
nations, but did not have as many
blooms as usual.

Kose growers report the prospect good
for a heavy cut of midwinter stock, as
the plants have formed but few blind
shoots. S. W. W.

tory clo.'ui-iip of ChriHtinas stock and is
<,natifit'(l that business lias held up well
liotween Christinas and New Year's.

J)onioto Bros, are well satisfied over
holiday business. All seasonable stock
was sold out at their nursery at good
prices. Now they are receiving heavy
importations.

For Christmas Podesta & Baldocchi
had a fine lot of azaleas from P. Fer-
rari's nursery, and Mr. Podesta says
they sold every one of them. Other sea-
sonable stock also was in splendid de-
mand here, making it a most satisfac-
tory holiday season.

Pelicano, Rossi & Co., according to
Frank Pelicano, had the biggest Christ-
mas business in their history, and the
holiday falling on Monday distributed
the rush over three days and facilitated
deliveries. This firm made a specialty
of mixed flowering plant baskets, which
took exceptionally well. They had about
100 dozen lily of the valley, and these
were readily snapped up. Potted cocks-
comb sold well, as did cyclamens, prim-
ulas and begonias. The sale of the
latter was not urged here, however, as
the plants are easily broken in delivery.

J. Eppstein, of the Art Floral Co., says
his company sold out its Christmas stock
and could have used larger quantities of
certain kinds of flowers. For instance,
the company was out of orchids two days
before Christmas; violets were short
and short deliveries were made on some
kinds of plants. This concern received
about forty dozen valley, for which it
received an average of $1.50 and $2 per
dozen, a high price here.

Avansino Bros, are well satisfied with
their first Christmas business, as they
provided a large stock and sold out com-
pletely. They say the demand was for
good stock, prices apparently being no
object. This concern expected a nice lot
of azaleas for New Year's, as they were
a little late for Christmas.

Despite the fact that the Emporium
closed at 6 o'clock December 23, and re-
mained closed until Tuesday morning,
Manager Picetti, of the flower and plant
stand, reports a close clean-up of holi-
day stock and says general business has
kept up well since.

In their new Sutter street location,
the Misses Hannon enjoyed a splendid
holiday trade, practically everything in
the place being cleaned out at a com-
paratively early hour. They had a good
decorative business, etc., and expect to
continue busy throughout the winter
season.

A full attendance is expected at the
January meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society, as the election of
officers will take place, and special fea-
tures are included in the program.

A. O. Stein reports a banner Christ-
mas business at his Sutter street store,
fancy baskets having had a good call.

At Alfred Lundberg's store, 1440 Polk
street, no complaints are forthcoming, as
the holiday business in the new location
showed a substantial increase over the
records of former years.

H. Plath has been granted a permit by
the board of supervisors for a 60-horse
power boiler, to be used in furnishing
steam for his greenhouses at 210 Law
rence avenue.

A. J. Bossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co.,
has purchased a new 6cylinder car.

The Florists^ Review

Jandaby 4, 1917.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The market last week held up wonder-
fully well, with almost Christmas price*
prevailing. Everything continued to
sell as it had the week before, and whole-
salers and growers cleaned up daily as
they went along. There are enough
roses of all kinds to go around and all
orders are being filled, but the stock is
being closed out each day and few flow-
ers go to waste. The best sellers have
been Eichmond, Ophelia, Killarney Bril-
liant, My Maryland, Mrs. George
Shawyer and Aaron Ward, with prices
ranging from $8 to $20 per hundred. A
good demand for American Beauty roses
continued during the week, with $9 per
dozen the top price.

The stores sold out on carnations at
Christmas and cloudy weather since
that time has caused a marked shorten-
ing of the supply. All varieties are in
demand at from $6 to $8 per hundred,
the deeper colors being most popular.
Sweet peas have not been overplentiful.
There seems to be a fair demand for vio-
lets, both doubles and singles, these mov-
ing at $1.50 per hundred. Roman hya-
cinths are in larger supply. There is
only a limited demand for them, even at
$3 per hundred. Narcissi have been
selling better than usual; the price is
held at $3 and $4 per hundred. White
and yellow daisies are offered at $3 per
hundred. Mignonette, usually side-
tracked over the holidays, has been sell-
ing well, better than in any of the pre-
vious years. There are still plenty of
stevias to be had. Cornflowers are being
brought in from Boston and other north-
ern points. Calendulas, lupines and nas-
turtiums help to fill out the market.
There are plenty of cypripediums to be
had, but the demand is limited. There
comes an occasional order in quantity at
$15 per hundred, the usual price being
about $2 per dozen.

Calla lilies have been extremely scarce
this season. They brought as high as $3
per dozen during Christmas week, but
the price since has scaled down to $1.50
and $2 per dozen. There are plenty of
Easter lilies and they continue to bring
as high as $2 per dozen. Rubrum lilies
are in but fair demand. A fine lot of
miniature roses are being oflfered.

Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri
have been dumped at the wholesale
houses by the carload during the last two
weeks and large quantities have gone
to waste. The growers would have done
far better had they cut more regularly
throughout the season and not flooded
the market at a time when the demand
is limited.

Various Notes.

The Retail Merchants' Association has
announced that the annual meeting of
the florists' section of the organization
will be held Friday noon, January 5. At
that time the chairman of the section,
who also will serve as a member of the
board of governors of the organization,
will be elected.

Washington's wholesalers and retail-
ers alike are well pleased with the vol-
ume of business done during the year
lOlfi. They declare this to have been
the best year in the history of the trade
and the outlook for a continuance of
this prosperity is exceptionally bright.

What the Christmas business meant
to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. can be
seen from the statement of Manager
Otto Bauer. "This year, ' ' he said, ' ' de-

The Market.

The month of December was one of
the coldest Decembers on record in this
part of the state. But the cold and
snow heightened the Christmas spirit,
and there was a good crop of cut flowers
of all kinds. Eoses were plentiful for
the holiday, with the quality extra
good, a decided contrast to what the
quality had been most of the summer
and fall. I doubt if there ever were so
many good Russell roses on this market
as during December; and other varieties
were equally good.

Azaleas were on the short side and
most of them not of the best quality.
Most of the azaleas eame in late and in
bad condition. Some of the growers had
to run them as high as 100 degrees dur-
ing the day and 90 at night to get them
in, but they came in and cleaned up
nicely. The poinsettias were of good
quality, but they were all sold out long
before the demand was over, possibly
because of the shortage in azaleas.
Roman hyacinths were scarce and -their
quality was not up to the standard, yet
they sold out early. Made-up baskets
and boxes sold out before I had a chance
to see many of them. Two days before
Christmas I made the rounds of the
stores, and in the end asked why they
had not made up the usual baskets, etc.
I was then informed that the usual num-
ber had been prepared, but that the de-
mand had been so heavy that they were
all sold.

The holiday trade this year undoubt-
edly was the heaviest ever known in the
city. Everyone told the same story, of
selling out everything salable before
the demand was satisfied. This partly
may have been because the local supply
of holly was practically a failure. There
usually are 100 wagons selling holly and
mistletoe every day for a week or more
before Christmas. This year I saw but
two wagons, and they were poorly loaded
and quickly emptied. Undoubtedly this
helped the florists, for when buyers were
disappointed at the market they went
to the florists, paid a fair price and in
the end were better satisfied. Novelties
were scarce; about the only unusual arti-
cles observed were some beautifully
made boxes and baskets of Easter lilies
and poinsettias, with the proper greens.
The combination certainly was a hand-
some one and the public appreciated it
by buying them like hot cakes.

Various Notes.

Haury & Sons say they were more
than pleased with the season's business.

At Geny Bros.', the Saturday night
before Christmas, most of the plants
were sold out and the cut flowers were
running short. They had the best Rus-
sell roses I have ever seen in this mar-
ket. They had a heavy cut of violets,
and a few good mums that sold readily.
Their azaleas were excellent.

The Joy Floral Co. had an exception-
ally large supply of flowers of all kinds

and the store was as busy as a beehive
at swarming time. This firm's supply
of azaleas perhaps was the largest in the
city, but some of the plants were not
quite ready for Christmas, having ar-
rived too late. Nevertheless they all
sold when the better stock was gone.
Joy's roses were excellent but the best
of the cut flowers were some unusually
good sweet peas and valley. I have
never seen better peas than those cut
by Joy's for the holiday trade.

I unfortunately was prevented from
'.seeing the Mclntyre Floral Co. stock at

Jandarv 4, 1917.

WILMETTE, ILL.

PITTSBUEGH, PA.

The Market.

Pittsburgh florists have closed a most
prosperous year. The Christmas trade
was all that was expected, from the re-
tailers' standpoint; all of them report
an excellent business. The demand for
plants and combination baskets was far
greater than ever, but these did not seem
to affect the demand for cut flowers.
Although business was drawn out on
account of the Sunday the day before
Christmas, everybody seemed busy get-
ting out the orders.

The wholesalers had much trouble with
the express companies, which seemed to
be unable to handle the holiday rush. It
was useless to send out truck loads of
orders to be delivered, as the companies
would not accept them. The wholesalers
had to send it up in small lots and then
coax the express men to try to work
the shipments out for them. The same
trouble was experienced in getting stock
to the market. Everything was at least
twenty-four hours late. The violets
again suffered. These came in late De-
cember 23, after all the shipping busi-
ness was over, and disappointed many
out-of-town buyers.

Stock was a little cheaper than last
year, but the volume of business done
made up for the decline in prices.

fireenhouse Heating.

John Marsh, of the Marsh Floral Co.,
Bay City, Mich., wants to know if any
grower has a successful electric pump for
taking hot water from a condensing tank
and putting it back in the boiler. Write
to him direct or through The Review.

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
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

USE SEPARATE MAINS.

Will you please tell us how many rows
of 114-inch hot water pipe we shall need
in a house 16x40? It runs east and west.
We have one house 27x40, and south of
this is the 16-foot house, which has
4-foot side walls, entirely or glass. The
boiler, which is at fhe east end, has a
fire grate 36x36 inches. We expect to
grow chrysanthemums in the fall and
geraniums' for the spring trade. We
should prefer to put the piping around
the wall, so we can grow chrysanthe-
mums on the ground. Will it be neces-
sary to have a new flow pipe from the
boiler, or will it be satisfactory to tap
the piping in the house 27x40, which has
a 3-inch flow pipe? The expansion tank
is at the west end. We want a tem-
perature of 00 degrees in zero weather.
W. H. G.— O.

For the best results we would use
3-inch main flow and return pipes for
the house 16x40, and would prefer to
connect directly with the boiler. As we

LOOK AT IT

understand it, the house to be heated is
16x40, with four feet of glass in each
of the walls. This will require about
350 square feet of radiation if a tem-
perature of 60 degrees is to be main-
tained. The main flow pipe should be
carried to the end of the house and there
connected with two 2 ^^ -inch feed flow
pipes. These should be carried on the
wall plates or about three feet below
the ridge, and connected at the farther
end of the house with ten 2-inch or four-
teen 1^-inch returns, one-half the num-
ber being on each side wall. Unless the
east end of the house is considerably
exposed and the bench is built along
the end wall, it will answer if the coils

pansion tank pipe to the high point of
the flow pipe or to one of the return
pipes? E. E. C— 111.

About 600 square feet of hot water
radiation will be required for heating
each of the houses, and we would select
a boiler rated for 750 square feet of
radiation for heating the propagating
house, or 1,450 square feet for the two
houses.

For flow pipes run a 214-inch flow
upon each plate, connecting the south
flow with four 2-inch returns under the
south bench and the north flow with
three returns under the north bench.
We would not vary the amount or ar-
rangement of the piping in the two
houses, except that the benches in the
propagating house should be partly
boarded in, in order to secure bottom
heat. One or more of the boards
should be hinged, for the purpose of
regulating the heat. There should be a
space of an inch or so between the
benches and the wall, to allow the warm
air to pass up and prevent the cooling
of the air over the benches.

The slope of the flow pipes should be
away from the heater and it need not
be more than one inch in ten feet — and
one inch in twenty feet will answer —
for either flows or returns. The slope
of the pipes does not directly increase
the circulation; in fact, the less slope
the better so far as the circulation is
concerned, and it is only needed to allow
the air to escape from the pipes so that
they may be filled with water. The ex-
pansion tank may be connected with
any part of the system, but we prefer
to attach it to the highest part of the
system, when the downhill arrangement
is used, and thus avoid the expense and
bother of air valves.

Not over ten feet between the houses
would be necessary in any case, and
since the north house is to be used for
propagating purposes, they may be built
together, with a common wall. The re-
turn pipes should be arranged in the
coils horizontally and should be one
foot below the bottom of the bench,
except, perhaps, in the propagating
house, where a somewhat smaller dis-
tance will answer.

Cadillac, Mich. — J. P. Ilerzog has sold
his Cadillac Greenhouses to Percy Snell

Valencia, Pa. — The early weeks of
1917 will see G. L. Curry & Sons operat-
ing their new greenhouses. These are
two connected houses, each 30x50, and
they also are rebuilding one sash house
16x36. When they have finished build-
ing they will have over 5,100 square
feet of ground covered with greenhouses,
as against 2,100 square feet last season,
or about two and one-half times their
former space. The material for the new
houses was furnished by John C. Mon-

The Eorists' Review

Goodyear Wing foot Lawn Hose is
made in the same factory and under
the same standards of materials and
Workmanship as Goodyear Tires, the
largest selling brand of tires in the World

This Hose Is Made for Florists

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is saving florists time,
worry and annoyance every day and it is doing it econom-
ically, too, when length of service is considered.

This hose meets every requirement of the florist. It will
not tie up into kinks. It slips easily and smoothly over
. rough concrete, cinder w^alks, and around greenhouse bench
posts, without catching or damage.

And it will not burst!

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is so strongly constructed
that the manufacturers are able to guarantee it against burst-
ing at any time within two years.

It is a serviceable, all -the -year -round hose, made to
withstand the workaday use around the greenhouse.

Do not confuse this superior, durable hose with the
ordinary kind that gives but a few^ months* service.

Goodyear Wingfoot is entirely different from all other
kinds.

Be sure to ask your dealer for Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn
Hose by name. You will find this name on every five-foot
length.

The Market.

The week after Christmas was as
dull as usual. Shipments were light and
this kept the market steady. "No
better than an ordinarily good Satur-
day," was the verdict as the old year
ended. Wholesale cut flower stores
were nearly all closed at midnight De-
cember 30, were reposeful December 31,
and the doors were closed at noon Jan-
uary 1. Little extra nowadays is ex-
pected of New Year's, and so few were
disappointed.

The supply of Hadle}' is increasing.
There are several expert growers of
this splendid rose. Prices are yielding,
but still it holds values close to the
old standby and ever popular American
Beauty. Shipments of the latter are
light.

Larger shipments of roses are antici-
pated this week.

In orchids, Percivaliana is done and
Trianse is arriving. A few extra flowers
of gigas are worth 75 cents, and from
this down to 25 cents is the present
quotation. Those left too long on the
plants at Christmas met with a serious
rebuff, many of the flowers being un-
salable. It doesn't seem possible,
though, that anyone would pickle an
orchid!

A few carnations sold at 8 cents De-
cember 30, but 6 cents was top with
nearly all the wholesalers. Anything
mediocre sold at 4 cents and under.
Lower prices are anticipated. Gar-
denias so far this season have been a
disappointment. Even for the Christ-
mas trade prices were low, and since
the holiday they have retrograded.
Longiflorums have been remarkably
steady at 12 cents. Many thousands
of short-stemmed rubrums are disposed
of daily at $4 to $5 per hundred. This
figure seems to be top for valley also.
Mums have vanished at last. New
Year's taking the goodly number that
remained.

Violets are all right again. Decem-
ber 30 sweet flowers were selling easily
at $1.50 per hundred. Singles and
doubles both shared in the returns.

Cut blooms from flowering shrubs
are seen, with a general assortment of
seasonable flowers. Some superb
mignonette, sweet peas, callas, stevia,
forget-me-not, lilac, iris, southern gladi-
oli, calendulas, bouvardia, pansies,
Roman hyacinths and narcissi in great
abundance are offered.

Various Notes.

January 8 the first meeting of the
Florists 'Club for 1917 takes place at
the rooms in the Grand Opera House
building, Eighth avenue and West
Twenty-third street. There will be the
usual holiday festivities. Because of
the flower show in March and the meet-
ing of the S. A. F. in August, this
promises to be the most important year
in the club's history. The membership
is close to 500, and soon will exceed it,
now that so many retail florists have
decided to apply for membership, fol-
lowing the election of G. E. M. Stumpp
to the presidency.

Mr. Hanfling has recovered from his
illness of a week ago.

Charles Lenker, of Freeport, is said
to be out of danger.

The florists' supply houses are all in
a condition of recuperation after the

ness done. The principal items were
azalea, cyclamen, begonia, primrose,
poinsettia and heather plants. Among
the cut flowers, red carnations of course
were the favorites and sold for $1.50 to
$2 per dozen. Carnations in other colors
sold for $1.25 and $1.50. Eoses were
of good quality, but not plentiful. ,

Various Notes.

Julius, the Florist, undoubtedly car-
ried the largest stock in town, and he
disposed of it all. He reports his Christ-
mas business the best ever.

Fred Covill did a tremendous holiday
business. Baskets sold well with him,
and he certainly had some original cre-
ations in that line. He also used many
azaleas.

William E. Mosher carried a large
stock of Christmas trees. He disposed
of all his own trees and then bought up
all that the other florists had. He had
no trouble in selling them. Mr. Mosher
also carried a large and varied stock of
flowering plants, for which he found a
ready market. He is well satisfied with
his holiday business. W. M. P.

If you buy a pot with a half bottom the roots will all run out and break
oflP when you shift the plant.

A pot with only half a' bottom is not a pot, but only a dirt band with a
strip of loose paper for the bottom.

All imitations are made from our discarded ideas.

We considered all the forms used by our imitators a long time before they
thought of them, and if any other form were better we would be selling it.

No imitation has lasted more than one season.

Get the TRIED OUT pot (5 years) for satisfaction.

NEVER buy an UNTRIED thing, however loudly vended.

If you buy any imitation on the market you will be sorry, for they will

The Florists' Review

Jandabx 4, 1917.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

During the last week flowers have
been somewhat scarce and high in
price. Carnations, which should be
coming in plentifully now, are not de-
veloping rapidly. The plants are fine,
and are filled with large, strong buds,
but the buds open slowly, with the
result that the supply is limited. Paper
Whites are much more plentiful than
they have been, and are of good qual-
ity. Nearly all of the florists report a
fine Christmas trade. Some say it was
the best holiday trade they have had for
some years. There was a considerable
demand for cut flowers, though the
greatest call was for plants. Poinset-
tias were good and sold well, most of
the florists cleaning out their stock.
Azaleas sold well, though the quality
was not quite so good as usual. There
was a strong demand for orchids, which
were a little high-priced. Daffodils
are just beginning to appear, and tulips
in pots also will be here before long.
Violets are arriving in fair quantities.
Baskets are popular, and prettily ar-
ranged baskets play a prominent part
in window decorations.

Various Notes.

George Penek reports that the last
year was a good one, and that the
Christmas trade was highly satisfac-
tory.

At the next meeting of the Essex
County Florists' Club, which will be
held at the Krueger Auditorium Janu-
ary 18, officers for the coming year will
be elected. Preliminary plans for a
flower show next fall will be made.
The show given this year was quite suc-
cessful.

Ferdinand A. Kuehn had a wonder-
fully successful Christmas l)usiness,
ranking among the best seasons he
ever had.

"The Ivy Flower Shop" is the trade
name which has just been filed for the
business at 454 South Orange avenue
by Eose F. Schneider,

"The Davies Floral Co." is the title
chosen for the business conducted by
Annie Davies at Park avenue and Wal-
nut street, Nutley.

Ernest Eadany reports that the whole
year has been a good one with him,
and that the Christmas trade exceeded
his expectations.

Henry Hornecker, of East Orange,
states that the Christmas trade was the
best he has had since entering business.
While there was a good demand for
almost everything, baskets and cut
flowers were specially called for in his
locality.

The S. A. Eogers Nursery Co., at 14
Branford place, made a great hit with
miniature Japanese gardens, of which
they laid in a good supply. E. B, M,

OMAHA, NEB.

The Market.

All seasonable stock is selling well and
many of the retailers report an unusual
increase in business. A large quantity
of funeral work has consumed much
stock and social affairs have called for a
great deal of decorative work.

Narcissi have begun to come into the
market in large quantities, and move
well. For the last two weeks the weather
has been severely cold, but at this writ-
ing the indications are for rising tem-
peratures, which will be welcomed by
all the florists, whose boilers have been
running full capacity too long on $6-per-
ton coal.

Various Notes.

George Zimmer, who has been ill for
several weks, now is reported to be bet-
ter. He had an excellent cut of Beacon
carnations for Christmas.

Lewis Henderson is among the first to
offer Roman hyacinths to the trade.
These are good and sell well. Mr. Hen-
derson 's Christmas and New Year 's busi-
ness was the best ever.

The Flower Shop, Fortieth and Far-
nam streets, reports a successful Christ-
mas business. It has been having a
heavy run on corsage bouquets for debu-
tante parties.

The feature at the Parker Flower
Shop Christmas week was a fine display
of potted plants. The business for the
holidays was all that the force could
handle.

The Stewart Seed Store is one of the
attractions in the downtown district.
The force was on the jump during the
holidays and states that the volume of
business done will average much higher
than that of last year's.

The Nebraska State Florists' Society
will meet at Lincoln, .January 16, for a
one-day session, in connection with the
week of "Organized Agriculture," Jan-
uary 15 to 19. The program is as fol-
lows: Opening address by President Ed-

Greenhouse White

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems;
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

The value of a pure white, light-reflecting sur-
face, which will diffuse and re-use every ray of
light, cannot be over-estimated.

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY

When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you
best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and
the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction.

Twenty-five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material
and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to
the efficiency of his house.

The Market.

Holiday business was steady and
classed as fair. Since Christmas receipts
have been sufficiently large to easily
take care of all present needs. Ship-
ping business continued good.

Roses are in good supply. Among
the offerings are some excellent Amer-
ican Beauties, Killarney, Ophelia, Rus-
sell and Hoosier Beauty. Carnations,
too, are in good supply. Easter lilies
are plentiful. Paper White narcissi
have been having a fair market. The
same is true of stevias. Valley is plen-
tiful, while sweet peas, orchids and vio-
lets are in fair supply. Other offer-
ings are poinsettias, callas, rubrum lilies
and snapdragons. Greens of all kinds
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

P. J. Olinger had a good cut of his
new red carnation seedling, Radium, for
the holidays. The blooms proved popu-
lar with buyers.

C. E. Critchell had an excellent lot

of valley and orchids for the yuletide

This is not the time to build greenhouses, but it is a good time to think about it. Dietsch construction has
stood the test of years. Not only are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each
house an improvement over the last. Our construction is swivancing with the times. We advocate nothing
that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than we are now building, and they will be built
by us.

It will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construction.

On account of their sturdy special construction, which permits of great
strength without the need of heavy, shadow-casting supports, these houses
are so warm and sunny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit
when Jack Frost has stripped the garden of its beauty.

The ventilating and heating systems are the result of years of experi-

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

Tlie days preceding Christmas were
ideal for shopping — bright, cold, dry —
so that a great deal of the buying was
done early. Every florist declares it
the best Christmas ever, though the cold
weather at the last necessitated much
extra wrapping. The supply of carna-
tions was far beyond the quantity
usually available at this season. The
stock was of good quality. Violets were
scarce and there were practically no
sweet peas on the market. Roses were
good and mostly in demand, especially
Russell and Ophelia, with Ward a leader
for corsage work. Paper White ftar-
cissi sold well, as did snapdragons and
mignonette. Cyclamens and poinsettias
were the leaders in plants, owing to the
scarcity of azaleas. Small ardisias sold
well. Peppers and primroses were good
and soon disposed of. Many effective ar-
rangements of plants and baskets were
seen; also baskets of boxwoods and reds,
for table decorations. Ground pine
seemed to be scarce at the outset, but
finally loomed up sufficiently to supply
the demand. Mistletoe and holly moved
about as usual.

Various Notes.

Henry Smith had an extra store, as
usual, and was well pleased with the
trade.

Eli Cross cleaned up on a lot of fine
poinsettias. He also had an extra store
for the rush.

Miss Hary Hartnett says she had the
biggest jChristmas business ever, more
than she could nicely handle.

Arthur F. Crabb reports a good clean-
up of stock during the holidays.

Alfred Hannah & Sons were well
stocked for Christmas business and dis-
posed of a great number of plants.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. had
its usual fine exhibit of plants and cut
flowers.

Wenzel Cukerski had a lively call for
the fine lot of primroses, ferns, etc., that
he had in readiness (Christmas.

A. F. C.

Paxton, 111. — Addems, Morgan & Co.
say they have every confidence that
spring business will break all records,
so they are working up a larger stock
of bedding plants than ever before.

For Transplanting
Carnations

The following is an extract from a
letter from Mr. Arthur Taylor, of
Boon ton, N. J

"The Skinner System is highly
valuable in transplanting carnations
from the field to the greenhouse.
Af terwateringthem thenight before,
the soil was in ideal condition sothat
we could dig the plants up with ever.v
root intact. The plants were strong
and started right off growing. They
have done better than any lot of
plants I have ever had."

DELIVERIES

We're doing everything in our
power to speed them up.

SAW MATERIALS used in greenhouse construc-
t'ou are pretty well tied up.
War business— of course'.

That's a condition beyond our control— a thing we
can do nothing about.

But what happens to that material when we do
get it is a condition that's not beyond our control.

Bad outside conditions make necessary the mak-
ing of inside conditions better. *

We're doing that very thing.

We're continually putting in new machinery to in-
crease the speed of our production.

For instance, we recently put in a machine that
enables four skilled men to do the work that formerly
required ten. With the labor market in its present
condition, it is doubtful whether we could get the ten
skilled men anyway. The new machine increases
production 40%. While one of these new machines
was plenty to take care^ of the quantity of work,
we finally decided to put in another, to cut in half the
amount of time necessary to do it in.

We are making time-saving improvements like this
all along the line. To the end that when raw mater-
ial reaches us, it will go from us to you in the form of
your greenhouse, just as quickly as possible.

To the end that when we say (as we did at the top
of this ad) that we're doing everything in our power
to speed up deliveries, we'll be stating a fact— not just
talking.

Sunlight Sash for Bedding Plants

Its successful use by hundreds of florists has proved that Sunlight Double Glass Sash gives
far better service than single glass, and at half the operating cost.

Plants have all the light all the time, growing faster, stronger and healthier. No possibility
of sudden chilling at night and no expensive mats and shutters to move and remove.

A 5 TO 0 SHOT
"Cypress Wins In a Canter"

As a straw to show how the wind blows, a recent issue of The Florists' Review carried adver-
tisements from the following greenhouse contractors and material men, all of whom recommend
CYPRESS in large, black, healthy display type:

JOHN C. MONINGER CO, Chicago, users of Cypress ("and no substitutes.") ALL CYPRESS.
STOKES BROTHERS CO. (Inc.), Philadelphia— specialize in CYPRESS Bench Boards.
LOCKLAND LUMBER CO., Lockland, Ohio, shout for "Spot Clear CYPRESS."
SCHNUTE-HOLTMANN CO., Evansville, Ind., announce "Clear Cypress."
ADAM SCHILLO LUMBER CO., Chicago, specialize in "PECKY CYPRESS."

The A. T. Stearns Lumber Co., Neponset, Boston, Mass., while not advertising in this paper, is
strong on CYPRESS for sash bars and Hot Bed Sash, with "Pecky" cypress bench lumber.

Now the joke in this is: No dealer in a "substitute" for CYPRESS mentioned his "cheaper"
article. Those who use clear, heart CYPRESS seem to be PROUD OF IT. They arc willing to "go
before the country" on the standard that all experience in greenhouse construction has set — clear,
heart CYPRESS, "and nothing but."

THERE'S AN ARGUMENT IN THIS SO PLAIN WE DON'T HAVE TO TELL IT.

There's Profit for You in the Facts— So Plain You're Bound to Go After It.

How about our free booklets in the CYPRESS POCKET LIBRARY? They're attractive— and
chock full of greenhouse "hoss-sense." Vol. 1 is the Government Report on the "wood eternal";
VOL. 3 has the last word on GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION; Vol. 20, "Cypress for All Farm
Needs" — it's new; Vol. 36 is the interesting book on Home Carpentry; Vol. 37 is the big
"Silo Book" — a dandy treatise of the Silo question. A postal will bring you one or a dozen — they're
free, absolutely. Write us a letter just for luck and good-fellowship — and as a good business move.

^the AGMCO device for hanging pipe

YOU know what an awful job it is to take down your pipe lines and lay
them on the ground whenever you want to change the woodwork of your
benches. You CAN'T do it when the pipes are hot. You must either
wait for warm weather or shut off the heat in these pipes. Not only this
— there is always a risk of breaking a casting or loosening a joint. Then
there is the labor involved in doing all this — and everything counts these
days.

Dodge all this trouble- you can if you w^ant to, and you'll have
no expansion trouble, either, after you install the AGMCO Pipe
Hanger. You'll find every AGMCO plant equipped with it, and
there's a reason! The AGMCO construction is modern in every
detail - the best last ivord in the science of greenhouse build-
ing. No old patterns to work off on the trade, mind you, but
everything of the proven best. So, of course, it wouldn't do to
hang pipe in the old-fashioned manner of fifty years ago- that
w^ould be like putting stove heat in a modern office building.
We had to take a step forw^ard— the AGMCO Pipe Hanger was
the result. Like every practical invention it is almost absurdly
simple— and therein lies its value. A mere convenience — a lux-
ury? Remember, the luxury of today is the necessity of tomor-
row! To a busy man time is worth money— to every man labor
is worth money. Hence, whatever saves either PUTS MONEY
IN YOUR POCKET.

Just now, when Miss Mercury's flirting' with Mr. Zero, you can well appre-
ciate the worth of even circulation. Then why not give your heating sys-
tem a chance? AGMCO Haugers will do it.

TODAY is the time to settle the matter

Gentlemen:— We are satisfied that there is no better ventilating arm on the market than the
Twentieth Centurj-. It lifts the sash with much less power than the old style arms and holds
them firmly in place. , „ ^ .^ ^., ^.

The new Twentieth Century side ventilating arm not only opens very easily, but it folds up
in such a way that there is no arm slicking out in the walk, as with the old styles.

We can highly recommend the Twentieth Centurj- arm and you are welcome to refer to us.

Very truly yours,

IRON FRAMER 51 x 300 FEET.

How J. T. Milliken, of Crescent, Mo., is
Turning Pleasure into Profit.

SOME men get their keenest pleasure out of pure
pleasure.

Others get it out of pure business.
Still others get pleasure out of both pleasure
and business.

Then again, there are those who take pleasure
in making all their pleasures pay.

Mr. Milliken might be called one of the latter.
His real business is in St. Louis.
His estate business is among the beautiful hills
of Crescent. Here he has an extensive range of
greenhouses for carnations and roses. The five we
built for him are Iron Frame.

As is so often the case, the first houses were of
that experimental brand of construction which were
bought because "the price looked right."

The price was right for that brand of houses,
but Mr. Milliken wasn't long in finding out that the
brand was wrong.

Then it was we began selling him some real
houses.

If you are thinking of building, let us give you
some good, husky, money-making thoughts to think.
Thoughts that bear both on what a house costs to
buy, and what it costs to keep it bought.

Say when and where, and we'll be there.

ASTER
PINK ENCHANTRESS

Upright In habit, as distinguished
from the Branching form. The plant
Is very vigorous, and produces long,
strong stems for the support of num-
erous large exhibition blooms. The
flower Is always full double; petals
are of medium length and very broad;
those toward the center fold In very
regularly, while gradually, toward the
outer edge, the petals stand out more
and more until those on the outside
recede from the center, thus increas-
ing the diameter of the flower, which
compares very favorably In size with
the largest-flowering kinds on our
farm. Color similar to that of the
Elnchantress carnation; flowers late.

oz., $3.00.

uts the G>st

— opens up new territory

Not only does this Studebaker Delivery
Car at $925 cost less than horses and
wagons in actual expense paid — but it
cuts the cost in another way — by getting
NEW^ business.

The additional speed of this car and its
stamina, its disregard of weather and
distance makes it possible for you to
make deliveries in the suburbs where
now it costs too much, takes too long to
deliver by horses and wagon. This
increased volume on the same expense
represents one of the big economies that
a Studebaker Delivery Car insures you.

Florists all over the country are using Stude-
baker Cars for deliveries, cutting costs, giving
BETTER service. They know that with Stude-
baker's half a century of delivery vehicle experi-
ence back of it, this car is built with a complete
knowledge of the delivery needs. They know
that with the experience of manufacturing more
than 290,000 motor vehicles, this car is simple,
easy to operate, ECONOMICAL and reliable at
all times.

And most important of all, they know that it cuts
the cost of deliveries from 2c to 6c per package.
We can give you exact figures on YOUR deli-
very costs and how much this Studebaker will
save YOU. See the Studebaker dealer or write
us for interesting facts and figures.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,

ACCEPT "SUPERIGRA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY

For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS

EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS

C. K. CrUohell. of Cinrinnatl, Ohio, writes: "My customers insist

on liaving llie 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become moldy, and that
every leaf can be used, and when this is taken Into consideration,
they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."

The McCaUum Co., of PlttsburRh, I»a., says: "Other Magnolia
prepares have tried to induce us to stocic up their goods 'just as
Kood as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each instance told
them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing it; In fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "

Ilttsburgh Cut Mower Co., of nttsburgh. Pa., writes: "Your
'.^uperiora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, .ind we have ha<i- no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it Is a very
satisfactory leaf Indeed."

Jos. G. N'eidineer Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says; "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but lind your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc„ etc."

The Montreal Horal Kxchangre, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the integrity, promptness and good
business methods tha't have characterized all your dealings with us."

Michigran Cut Flower Exchannre. Detroit, Midi., snys: "We have
been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
ytars and find in all this time that wc have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."

Jo8. E. Koppelnian, of Providence, K. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used tlum once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."

New England Flotlst Supply Co., of Boston, Mass.. writes: "Have
found 'Superiora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
.ualfs on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."

Wm. F. Kastlngr Co., of Buffalo, N. "V., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superiora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; In fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."

B. E. and J. T. Cokel.v. of Scranton, Penn., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc."

The Baltimore Wholesale MorlHt and Supply Co., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered uo, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
in stock."

>. F. McCaMhy and Co., of Boston, Mau., write: ". . . It
Is the opinion of McCarthy and Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."

Henry M. Rohlnson and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleaso<l to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc." ~

Reed and Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias
and We are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every-
way. AVe further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
tjuickly, etc."

The Cleveland Florists' Exehange, Cleveland, O., says: ".
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superiora' brand' of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned,"

Smith and Yoiutg, of Indianapolis, Ind.. write: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superiora' ejcilusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."

The Cleveland Cut Slower Co.. of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
"• • • 'hat we have been sending you orders for 'Superiora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods ..."

Geo. II. Angermoeller, of St. I.ouis. Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers.
etc. '

Osoar Leistner, of Chirasro, Bl., writes: ". . . As you know
before you gave us the sole agency Tor the Western country, we were
handling a diftcrent leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and (lur customers were very much disappointed with the quality

Smoe we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely dJsappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today ooe of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of yoiir competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them as his customers absolutely refused to accept them due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."

Hamburg Late White

emum

This picture was taken December 10, 1916, and will give a good idea of what Hamburgr Late
White looks like when grown to single stems, planted six inches each way.

Hamburgf Late White is pure white under all weather conditions, and is a sport of White
Maud Dean, but has no trace of pink as has the original.

The average grower of Chrysanthemums must have varieties which are easy to handle, and
from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. Hamburs^ Late White
has been grown for the last four years, and produces a very high proportion of good flowers.
It is not an exhibition variety, but for late white, one of the best for commercial purposes. It
can be had in bloom the latter part of November, by taking an early bud; but by selecting
later buds, most of the flowers are cut during December, and we would advise a selection of
late buds, as the later buds come somewhat fuller, and by selecting late buds, flowers can l)e
had as late as the middle of January.

Keeping qualities are excellent, and where a light, graceful white flower is wanted, Hamburg:
Late White cannot be surpassed.

Hamburg: Late White will be disseminated in the spring of 1917. Plants will be ready
March 1, 1917, and all orders will be filled in rotation.

QUALITY is the big word in
the SCHULTZ organization.
SCHULTZ creations are widely
imitated and sold by other
manufacturers, but SCHULTZ
QUALITY is rarely equaled
and never surpassed.

SCHULTZ QUALITY is well known
throughout the florists' trade, and
can be compared with no other. The
question of price is never considered
where QUALITY is demanded.

MRS. HEAL BEGONIAS

FOR HOLIDAY BUYERS

Shrewd growers, with well balanced proportions of courage and of caution
in their mental constitutions, may shun untried novelties, but are keenly on
the alert to secure new plants that have really been proved worthy. Perhaps
some of these growers may be favorably impressed by Begonia Mrs. Heal,
a comparatively new winter bloomer.

OTANICALLY speaking,
and also classically
speaking, the begonia is
"the whole thing" in
its wide circle of related
or associated plants. Not
only is it an unusually
large genus, comprising
species and varieties un-
numbered and almost in-
numerable, but it is the only genus of
any importance in its family, the be-
goniacese. It gives its name to the fam-
ily and practically is the family — with
unlimited emphasis on the "is." The
other two or three genera in the be-
goniacesB family are so small and insig-
nificant that they really * ' don 't count. ' '
They are "poor relations." Speaking
classically again, the begonia is It, un-
rivaled in its domination.

Parentage of the Heal Begonias.

Since the species and hybrids of the
begonia are already so
nearly countless and
many of them are ex-
ceedingly beautiful,
any newly introduced
variety must have ex-
traordinary merit to
win favor or distinc-
tion, or even an indif-
ferent nod of recogni-
tion. It seems prob-
able, therefore, that
John Heal, of James
Veitch & Sons, London,
England, has worked
sufficiently hard for
such success as he has
attained in producing
from Begonia socotrana
his new type of winter-
flowerinjj plants, now
commonly known as
the Heal begonias. He
has earned his reward
by means of persistent
and intelligent experi-
mentation. The credit
due him is increased by
the fact that his hy-
brids must endure the
test of close competi-
tion with such prime
favorites as Gloire de
Lorraine and Glory of
Cincinnati, which also
are descendants of B.
socotrana.

Like many human be-
ings, B. socotrana de-
rives its chief renown
from its children. Yet
it could scarcely be one

of the ancestors of so fine a race of
plants without having some excellent
qualities of its own. It could not be-
queath characteristics that it did not
possess. Though its habit of blooming in
the winter may be its greatest recom-
mendation to the hybridizer, it has other
merits.

From a Tropical Climate.

In describing the peculiarities of B.
socotrana, however, its native climate
should first be mentioned, since the
original habitat largely predetermines
the habits. B. socotrana was discovered
in Socotra, otherwise spelled Sokotra, a
tropical, sandy island off the coast of
East Africa and south of Arabia. The
species is distinct and beautiful, with
large, deep green, orbicular, peltate
leaves. Or, in everyday English, the
leaves are almost circular, and are held
like a shield or "pelta," with the petiole
or leafstalk attached to the under sur-

Begonia Mrs. Heal in a 6-inch Pot.

face of the leaf, near the center, instead
of at the margin. Its flowers are bright
rose. It belongs, of course, to the semi-
tuberous or bulbous group of begonias,
about the base of which are formed a
cluster of bulbils or bulblets, ordinarily
called bulbs.

From Socotra the bulbs of B. soco-
trana were taken to Kew, where they
were grown in 1880, and where Mr. Heal
soon afterward observed the plants and
shrewdly took an inventory of their la-
tent possibilities. By crossing B. soco-
trana with several other species, he pro-
duced a series of hybrids of greater or
less excellence, including Agatha and
other sorts that have become more or
less known in the trade.

Begonia Mrs. Heal for Christmas.

But the greatest of the whole succes-
sion of Heal successes, as far as they
have been tried and proved commer-
cially, is Begonia Mrs. Heal.

The Mrs. Heal is the
red or rose-carmine va-
riety which is shown in
the illustration on this
page. It has been put
to the test in America
as well as in Europe.
When it was exhibited
by a gardener in Bos-
ton in the fall of 1914,
it was greatly admired,
and one of its closest
observers stated in
The Review at the
time: "If commercial
growers would take
this variety up, it
should make a grand
Christmas plant. " Ap-
parently the growers
are beginning, at least,
to take it up. The
specimen seen in the il-
lustration was shown
at Boston by A. M.
Davenport, of Water-
town, Mass.

Since B. socotrana is
a native of a tropical
region, its descendant,
the Mrs. Heal begonia,
naturally prefers a
somewhat high t e m -
perature, but this idea
may easily be carried
to an extreme. One
successful grower
states that its tempera-
ture during the season
of growth should not
exceed 60 degrees at
night and 65 to 70 de-

18

The Florists' Review

Jaxuaby 11, 1917.

grees in the daytime, with a moist at-
mosphere. Some other growers advise
a lower temperature, about 55 to 58 de-
grees, as the cooler conditions not only-
produce more durable flowers, but also
aid in the suppression of insect pests.

Though Mrs. Heal begonias do not
demand an excessive degree of atten-
tion, they do demand the right kind of
attention. As they are semi-tuberous,
they should not be treated either like
the tuberous or the fibrous-rooted class,
but should receive a sort of intermedi-
ate or halfway treatment. That is, they
should be only semi-dormant during
their period of rest. Though they must
not be kept growing like the fibrous
group, neither must they be dried off
like the tuberous section. They should
remain in their pots while resting, and
should receive just enough moisture to
keep the roots plump and the stems com-
paratively green ; a few of the leaves
will generally retain their fresh color.
While resting, the plants are kept in a
cool house, with a minimum night tem-
perature of about 50 degrees, and it is
well to place them on a bench, rather
than under it.

When the Plants Have Rested.

As spring approaches, the plants
should be stimulated with an increase
of warmth and moisture. When they
have broken freely, they are repotted.
Unlike the tuberous-rooted class, they
would suffer a severe check if repotted
before growth was well started. A
rather coarse compost, containing about
two parts of loam to one part of leaf-
mold, with sand and manure, is used in
repotting. It is necessary at this stage
that the watering be careful and mod-
erate; excessive moisture would cause

yellowness of the foliage^ probably fol-
lowed by decay.

Propagating Begonia Mrs. Heal.

When the plants have renewed their
growth after resting, and just before the
potting is done, some growers take the
cuttings for propagation. Other growers
wait until later, perhaps until near the
middle of May, and continue, if occasion
requires, to take cuttings in limited
numbers until August. The cuttings
root readily if placed in pots of sand
and leaf-mold in a temperature of 65 to
70 degrees, if the watering is moderate
and if precautions are taken to prevent
condensation of moisture on the leaves.
If strong, sturdy plants are wanted, the
early cuttings may be pinched at the
points when about six inches high.

As a Boston Grower Does It.

One of the Boston exhibitors of Mrs.
Heal begonias says that he grows them
with Gloire de Lorraine, and in similar
soil, consisting of rough fibrous loam,
leaf-mold, cow manure and sand. The
manure, he says, he collects in the pas-
tures and breaks it into lumps, and the
plants delight in the resulting coarse
mixture. He uses the stripe system for
shade, producing much the same effect
as if slat shades were used. In potting,
the compost should be pressed down
with only moderate firmness. The plants
bloom satisfactorily in 4-in(h to 7-inch
pots. After the pots are well filled with
roots, waterings with liquid manure are
beneficial. Side ventilation under the
benches is recommended, as the air
should be kept in circulation without
exposing the plants to direct drafts,
which are conducive to mildew.

BUSY WITH BEGONIAS

SOME SEASONABLE NOTES.

Tuberous-Rooted Begonias.

While tuberous-rooted begonias are
not good bedding plants except where
they can get a fair amount of shade from
trees or buildings, they are excellent as
pot plants, fine for piazza vases in mod-
erate shade and valuable as summer-
blooming pot plants. It is to be re-
gretted that we are unable'tof^ utilize
them for bedding pur])oses, as in Great
Britain or even in Xova Scotia they
easily surpass geraniums as bedders, and
after a heavy rain storm, when the gera-
niums look quite wretched, the begonias
look as fresh as ever. The tubers are
inexpensive and may be had in separate
colors, either single or double. It is
well to try some of each, although on the
whole the singles are preferable.

To secure some plants in nice bloom
before Memorial day, start the tubers
now in flats of sand. Place them in a
temperature of 60 degrees. Water mod-
erately. Pot off into 4-inch pots before
they become too much started, using a
light but fairly rich soil, containing a
good dash of sand. Grow them along
in a temperature of 52 to 55 degrees.
Give a shift to 6-inch pots when needeil.
When these pots become well filled with
roots, apply some liquid manure. Some
staking will be necessary to hold up the

slioots as the flowering season ap-
proaches. Protect the plants from hot
sunshine, not to the same extent as glox-
inias, but enough to prevent any burn-
ing of the foliage. Batches of tubers,
jf plants are needed for bedding out or
for piazza boxes, need not be started be-
fore March. Try a few of the frilled
varieties, which are quite attractive.

Fibrous-Rooted Begonias.

While the tuberous begonias are not,
as a rule, adaptable for bedding pur-
poses, the fibrous-rooted varieties of the
Vernon type make ideal bedders and
succeed equally well in sunshine or
shade. These can be propagated either
by cuttings taken from carricd-over
stock plants, or by seeds. Where a large
number are needed, seed sowing is much
to bo preferred. As begonia seeds are
quite small, they cannot be sown in the
same way as the seeds of stocks, asters
or verbenas. Prepare some pans; be
sure they are clean. Put ample drain-
age in them; place a layer of moss over
this, then a mixture of fine, light com-
post, which should be at least one-half
leaf-mold. Add some sand. After plac-
ing this compost in the pans and spread-
ing it evenly, then press down and
water. Now dust some sand over the sur-
face and there sow the seeds with great
care. Do not cover them at all. Place

squares of glass over the pans and keep
them dark until germination starts, then
give light. Sow petunias, gloxinias and
other fine seeds in the same way as be-
gonias.

These seedling begonias will need
pricking off into flats first, and' later
potting singly. They grow rapidly once
the weather becomes warm. All the
Vernon and Erfordii section, Gloire de
Chatelaine and La Vesuve make ideal
bedders as well as excellent pot plants.

Rex Begonias.

Rex begonias, while they have pretty
flowers, depend on their foliage almost
entirely for their popularity. They are
easily propagated at this season by cut-
ting well matured leaves in pieces and
standing them edgewise in a warm prop-
agating bench. Discard the thinnest
or outer parts of the leaves, as being the
least likely to root. There are many
beautiful varieties of Rex begonias.
They should be stocked by every coun-
try florist, for they are easy plants to
grow in the average home and seem to
give about as much satisfaction as any
colored-leaved plants.

THE FAKER.

Does He Harm or Good?

At a recent meeting of the Pittsburgh
Florists' Club E. J. McCallum, a com-
mission dealer, defined the several
grades of cut flower retailers and in
part said of those not conducting stores:
"I believe that all these people do both
harm and good to the true florist. Harm,
because there are instances where as a
result a florist will get a 'call down' as
being a robber, which undoubtedly is
bad for the business, and good because
they create ultimate customers for the
florist. I mean by this that there are
thousands of people who do not feel
that their love for flowers is enough to
overcome the loss of a dollar bill or even
a 50-cent piece. This class of people
will gladly spend 25 cents on the corner.
IV few such purchases convinces him,
or her, that these flowers are not as nice
as the ones on the stands at a higher
price. He thus becomes a customer of
the stands, and if anyway well-to-do
probably begins to patronize the legiti-
mate florist, where he gets service and
art as well as flowers. In any event, if
he does not patronize them he certainly
never would have anyway, and so the
florist is not out anything, even if he
did not gain anything.

Seasonable Prices.

The consumer of any commodity will
always purchase where his taste dic-
tates. Will we go into a cheap restau-
rant if we want a good meal ? Will we
buy a pair of shoes from the curb
dealer? Will we step into the phoney
jewelry store for a watch? Will you
buy your fruit from the peddler's push
cart? So, where will flower buyers buy
their flowers?

"Little explaining is necessary as to
why prices are lower or higher than
last time if we only take the trouble to
tell customers what conditions such as
sunshine, weather, crops, seasons, etc.,
have to do with the supply. Does the
customer question the price of straw-
l)erries in March because they are cheap
in June?

The Wholesaler's Position.

"Now a word for the wholesaler who
is accused of conspiring with the street

January 11, 1917.

The Florists' Review

salesmen to undersell the storeman.
Nothing is further from the truth. To
start with, the grower never forgets to
remind the commissionman that he must
have high prices in order to pay his
coal and labor bill. The commission-
man who ignores this soon finds himself
without shippers. That alone prevents
the wholesaler from sacrificing stock to
anyone. However, Mr. Commissionman
receives his flowers in the morning and
holds them all for what he thinks a fair
price, no matter which class the buyer
belongs to. Perhaps he does not clean
up that day and is compelled to carry
some flowers over until the next day. If
so, and the flowers are still in good con-
dition, he tries to get the regular price,
but if they finally have to be sold at
cheap prices to save dumping them, it
at least gives the grower something. It
will be seen from this that, except in
rare cases, the street men do not get
fresh flowers, or if they do they pay
full price. It would be the height of
foolishness to sell the faker good stock
at a low price when there is a chance
to sell it to someone else at a higher
price. That isn't human nature.

A Partial Remedy.

"Now as to a remedy. I frankly feel
that there is none, but I would suggest
one thing the retailers could do to rem-
edy this to a great extent and fully be-
lieve it is the only partial solution there
is. I also firmly believe it would be
the cheapest advertising a florist could
get. Buy up these flowers during glut
periods while they are still good (at a
cheap price, of course) and donate them
to customers and would-be customers.
Thus a box of a dozen carnations or
roses, including delivery expense, would
be not more than 1.5 cents. Could you
beat that as an ad?"

Floor Plan for Trades* Display at the New York Convention of the S. A. F.

THE NEW YORK EXHIBITION.

Secretary John Young, of the S. A. F.,

has completed the plan of the floor
space for the August convention at New
York. The layout is shown herewith
and Secretary Young will supply a
larger copy with the rules, on request.
lie believes every foot of space will
be sold.

"With reference to the Convention
Garden Mr. Young says: "It will be
the opportunity of a lifetime. Do not
delay in reserving space if you are in-
terested. The rate for space is only 10
cents per square foot. The garden will
be located in a most favorable section
of the Botanical Garden, Bronx park,
where the exhibits will be seen by thou-
sands of interested people daily. The
])lantings will be under the supervision
of Dr. N. L. Britton, director of the
Botanical Garden."

WILL LIMIT IMPORTS

NEW YORK FIRM GIVES NOTICE.

Will Accept No New Business.

As a result of the unusual conditions
growing out of the war, importers have
had an extremely diflScult time, espe-
cially with plant shipments, but their
embarrassments have not been empha-
sized so forcefully as is done in an an-
nouncement, dated January 8, in which
McHutchison & Co., New York, state
that they will accept no 1917 import
orders for Belgian plants except from
those who imported through them last
season — that it is their purpose to re-
duce the volume of the business.

The Notice.

Here is the letter sent to customers:

.Tan. 8, 1917.

TIiouRh stiipmpnts from Belgium wore made
every sprinc and fall since the war began, the
tliree circnlnr letters we sent you last fall
Kave you some idea of the difficulties, uncer-
tainties and expense we had to contend with to
get them. What the conditions will l)e next
spring and fall, if the war continues, it is im-
possible to foresee.

Up to now our organization in Belgium is un-
damaged and complete. Araucarias, kentias,
bays, azaleas, etc., are being grown and re-
ceive the same care from the regular staff

of men as in normal times. Our i)n(kinK and
.sliipping facilities are iine(|unled in Itelglunt,
as is proven by our Belgian firm shipping tliis
fall over '2,(W) cases of plants within two
weeks after tlie German authorities issued ship-
ping permits.

Vp to now sliipments were made with the
consent of tiotli the British and tiernian aiitliori-
ties. We expect to got these consents again
for next season's sliipments, and the canal
lioats will likely also be permitted to continue
to carry the shipments from Ghent to Rotter-
dam. Any difficulties that arise next season
will likely come after the shipments leave
tilient, and of course no Belgian can learn
iuiything about conditions which prevail in the
world outside of Belgium.

Last fall most of the shipments arrived in
good condition. Some shipments arrived late as
a result of war con<litions and there was some
loss on them, mostly due to the congested
condition on our railroads, but whatever profit
was made (and the profit was large in man.v
instances) was made by the purchasers. Our
Belgian firm can make no profit under present
conditions, nor can we — our extra expenses in
getting tlie shipments through the lines and
nuickly forwarded from here puts the matter
of profit for us entirely out of the question.

In view of these facts we will book orders
next season for Belgian stock from our regular
customers only — those who imported through
us from Belgium last season. We figure that
hy cutting down business to about one-third
of normal we can have shipments made by fast
passenger steamers and devote all our energy
and capacity to the service of those firms who
usually depend upon us for their Belgian goods.
We enclose special prices of Arthur de Meyer,
Ghent, Belgium, for spring and fall importa-
tion. Prices are lower than before the war
began, excei)t on some sizes of kentias. The

stock will be as good and packed as well as In
normal seasims, but so there will be no later
misunderstandings we will clearly define the
conditions of sale, as we cannot issue a 1917
Belgian catalogue — nothing printed, or anything
written in Knglish can pass in or out of Belgium.

As in normal times, all import orders are
booked under De Meyer's catalogue (191C) con-
ditions, the purchaser accepting shipment at
Ghent nurseries and it traveling from tliere
at his risk and expense. As it may he impos-
sible to cancei an order once placed, we re-
quire a deposit of twenty-five per cent with
order to guarantee acceptance of shipment at
destination. No order will be reported to Bel-
gium until these conditions are accepted and
the deposit made. All shipments are covered
by l)oth marine and war risk insurance to New
York, though it is of course impossible to get
any insurance to cover risks of damage to
perishables to destination.

We have outlined the situation frankly to
you; you know what riskx you take, what
chances of large profits are yours. We will be
l>leased to book your order and urge you to
mail it as soon as jmssible, as the mails take
much longer to get into Belgium than the ship-
ments to come out of there under present con-
ditions.

It is probable McHutchison & Co.
liave handled more Belgian stock than
any other importing firm.

What It Means. '

Tlie principal importance to the trade
lies in the fact that a shortage of plants
is indicated — if the largest and jiossibly
the best equipped importer feels the
necessity of reducing the volume of
business to, as suggested, one-third the
normal size, other importers will be
likely to act along similar lines and in
the aggregate it will mean a large re-
duction in the supply of stock made
available for the trade in this country.
It is fairly certain that little if any
jirofit has been made on Belgian plants
the last two years, but their absence
will leave a void to be filled with other
stock.

Elwood, Ind.— F. W. Blubaugh, who
opciied a store November 25 on one of
F^hvood's best business corners, says
that from the start business at the store
has been good, with the daily sales in-
creasing each day.

Laurel, Del.— L. M. Smith & Co. al-
ways have found Mistletoe one of the
most satisfactory of white chrysanthe-
mums and have this season been pleased
to obtain a yellow sport. It is like the
parent in being a fine incurved flower
of good size, with stiff stem and a well
clothed neck. The color is almost the
sjinie as that of Chrysolora. Good blooms
can be had as late as January.

heard they will not bloom. I had the
same trouble with this variety last year.
Can you give me any information on
the subject f H. M. M.— 111.

GEEANTDM CUTTINGS.

How late can geranium cuttings be
taken from a sand propagating bed to
produce good 4-inch plants by the mid-
dle of May? How late can geranium
cuttings be taken to produce 4-inch
plants by the middle of May?

W. D. T.— O.

If you put in late fall cuttings these
would have been well rooted some time
ago and now should go into 2i/4-inch
pots. If left too long in a propagating
bench, the plants become stunted and
more easily fall a prey to bacterial dis-
eases later in the season.

If cuttings are taken at once they
will make good 4-inch stock in a carna-
tion temperature by the middle of May.
Do not postpone putting in the cuttings
any longer than is absolutely necessary.
Stock for 3-inch pots can be propagated
as late as the middle of February.

C. W.

SOIL FOR GERANIUMS.

What would be the best soil for potting

rooted geranium cuttings? My soil is

somewhat new. Also, what soil would

be best for potting 4-ineh stock later?

H. P. S.— Pa.

For potting rooted cuttings of gera-
niums, your soil, even if rather new,
would answer nicely if a little old, well
rotted manure and a little sand were
added to it. For 4-inch stock add a
4-inch pot of fine bone to each bushel of
soil; also one-fourth of well decayed
manure. Spent hotbed manure, after it
has been dried somewhat and screened,
answers well. If you have a heavy soil,
add a little leaf-mold at the first potting.
Bench soil which has been used for chry-
santhemums will do well for geraniums.
C. W.

GERANIUM FOLIAGE BLIGHTED.

Under separate cover we are mailing
you a geranium plant. Can you tell us
what is the matter with it? A great
many of our plants are affected in a
similar manner. Any advice you can
give us will be appreciated.

T. N. G.— O.

The roots and stem of the geranium
plaint seemed perfectly sound, but the
foliage was quite withered and seemed
to have suffered from a fungoid affec-
tion. This trouble is common this sea-
son, due chiefly to the peculiar climatic
conditions. I would suggest that you
keep the plants in pots well picked over.
Destroy any badly affected ones and
spray with Fungine or Bordeaux mix-
ture.' Cleanliness will help a great deal
in keeping fungoid affections in check;
therefore do not throw any debris below
the benches. On outdoor stock, spray-
ing with the same fungoid remedies is
all you can do. Clearer skies will help
to get rid of the disease. C. W.

GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL.

Please tell me the right time to pot
rooted cuttings of geraniums to have
4-inch pot plants in bloom Decoration
(lay. If rooted cuttings were potted
now, how long would it be before they
were good, strong 2i/4-inch pot plants?

L. K. M.— Pa.

The geraniums should have gone into
2 14 -inch pots as soon as they were
rooted. The plants should be well rooted
in their pots and ready for a shift into
3-inch pots about January 1. They can
be moved into 4-inch pots about two
months later. Some growers shift from
2 14 -inch to 4-inch pots, but you will
find that you have better results by
giving two shifts in place of one.

C. W.

GERANIUMS DOING POORLY.

I am sending you a plant of a Buch-
ner geranium. These are nice looking
plants, but are not good and I have

As the geranium plant was frozen
solid on arrival, I could not determine
what the trouble was. Your sample
plant was quite vigorous, but seemed
to be too soft. I am inclined to think
you are giving them too rich soil. Use
soil in which some old and thoroughly
rotted manure is used and add a little
fine bone to it. This will help to build
up more stocky growths which will
flower freely. Do not feed the plants
with liquid animal manure; use a top-
dressing of bone instead and compare
results. C. W.

REMEDY FOR FUNGUS.

Please tell us the best remedy for
fungus in a greenhouse with hot water
heat. It is especially bad on the gera-
niums, affecting the blooms in the
spring. Would sulphur fume lamps help
this any? J. C. T.— N. Y.

If by fungus you mean mildew, the
sulphur fume lamps, if they can be
guaranteed not to smoke or take fire,
would be useful in combating it. Some
dry sulphur scattered here and there on
the heating pipes also is helpful. The
fungoid troubles of geraniums rarely
bother the flowers and I think you prob-
ably had mildew on them. To guard
against this, avoid cold drafts and sud-
den temperature changes and preserve a
dry atmosphere in your house. C. W.

POWER TO STOP SHIPPING.

In Appropriation Bill.

In the Agricultural Appropriations
Bill now before Congress there is a
rider attached which, if passed, would
give the Federal Horticultural Board at
Washington arbitrary and autocratic
control over the business of nurserymen
and florists who ship plants or trees.

It would give the board the power to
establish a quarantine on suspicion,
without calling for a hearing, as is re-
quired by the federal quarantine law
now in force.

The matter is in cliargc of a commit-
tee, of which Congressman John J.
Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, is chairman,
and measures have been taken which
it is hoped will induce this committee
to allow the nurserymen and florists to
express their views on a subject that is
of such vital importance to them, before
such a drastic amendment is adopted.

Efforts to Stop Imports.

It is not generally known that the
Association of State Horticultural In-
spectors recently advised the Federal
Horticultural Board to establish a
quarantine that would shut out imports
of bays, azaleas, palms, rhododendrons,
evergreens and all balled plants from
every source; or that the American For-
estry Association is seeking a quaran-
tine that would shut out shipments of
all kinds of nursery and florists' stock

from every source. A conference will
be held in Washington, D. C, January
18 and 19, to promote this scheme. The
significance of the rider to the appro-
priations bill therefore will be apparent.
Without azaleas, Manetti stocks, bay
trees, fruit stocks and all raw materials
our growers 'could exist, but such a quar-
antine as proposed would put back the
florists' and nursery businesses to where
they were forty years ago.

Louisville, Ky.— The 1917 calendar
sent out by the Alfred Struck Co., green-
house builders, carries a large halftone
reproduction of the group photograph
made at the October meeting of the In-
diana and Kentucky state societies of
florists, which was reproduced at the
time in The Reviev/. Accompanying the
calendar is a letter from August K.
Baumer, secretary of the Kentucky So-
ciety of Florists, urging all non-members
to ally themselves with the society.

Columbia City, Ind. — The Wagoner
Floral Co., a concern established here
twenty years ago, and the Columbia City
Greenhouses have been consolidated and
incorporated at $25,000, with A. J. Wag-
oner as president and D. R. Livengood as
secretary and treasurer. The new firm
is styled Columbia City Floral Co. The
company produces its own stock and will
do a wholesale as well as retail business.
Mr. Wagoner will have charge of the
range, 50,000 feet, and Mr. Livengood
will be at the offices.

CARNATION ROSALIA.

Although Kosette is considered a
pretty good carnation by many of the
growers who have tried it, F. Dorner
& Sons Co., La Fayette, Ind., which sent
it out a few years ago, expects it to be
outclassed by Kosalia, the distribution
of which has been begun. While Eosalia
is said to be an even better color than
Eosette, the principal claims for it are
on account of its habit. The accom-
panying illustration shows the character
of flower and stem.

THE COMMON CARNATION RUST.

Please tell me what has caused the
spots on the enclosed carnation leaves.
What is the best remedy?

M. A. B.— Kan.

Your carnations are affected with the
common carnation rust. This is brought
on by unfavorable cultural conditions,
such as too much syringing during dark
weather, or a foul atmosphere due to a
lack of ventilation, especially after ap-
plying a mulch or a heavy dressing of
animal manure.

This disease is not the terror to the
<'arnation grower it once was, but of
course it is not a desirable visitor. If
your plants are badly affected, pick off
as many of the spotted leaves as possible
and then spray the plants thoroughly
with Bordeaux mixture. The Bordeaux
tends to keep the spores inactive. Give
all the ventilation possible and keep the
temperature near 50 degrees at night.
Water and syringe sparingly, but do not
allow the plants to suffer for want of
water at the roots. A. F. J. B.

STARTING TRAILING PLANTS.

When do you advise taking cuttings
from German ivy, tradescantias and
Kenilworth ivy in order to produce good
plants by the middle of May?

W. D. T.— 0.

All the plants named are easy of
propagation and make quick growths.
German ivy and Kenilworth ivy can be
put in from the middle of January to
the middle of February. Tradescantias,
being such rapid growers, are better if
not j)laced in sand before the middle of
^larch. . C. W.

EUPATORIUMS AND DELPHINIUMS.

How should Eupatorium ageratoides
and E. ccrlestinum and the yellow Del-
phinium Zalil seeds be treated to make
them germinate? I have tried several
methods without success.

M. E.— N. J.

Eupatorium ageratoides and E. coe-
lestinum should be sown as soon as pos-
sible after the seed is ripe, either in a
coldframe or in flats. It will do no
harm if they are allowed to freeze
solid. Cover them with dry leaves,

however, and remove these about the
end of March. Seedlings, if they do not
appear in the fall, will do so in spring.
The same treatment will answer well for
the yellow Delphinium Zalil, which
germinates more slowly than the blue
varieties. C. W.

led to wonder whether some other va-
riety than Formosa has been, perhaps
unintentionally, sold to you. Formosa
is jjot by any means a dwarf lily. One
of its strong points has been that it has
always been possible to cut long stems
with it. This leads me to surmise that
you may be growing another varietv.
^__ C. W.

SHOULD SPIR^AS BE FROZEN?

Should the clumps of Spiraea Gladstone
and S. Queen Alexandra be frozen to
I)roduce the most perfect flowers? I
have had excellent success when they
were not frozen, but every florist near
here claims thev should be frozen.

J. N. M.— Kan.

TIME TO SOW STOCKS.

Will you please tell me when to sow
ten weeks' stocks in order to have them
in bloom for Memorial day?

E. & S. F. S.— Mont.

Sow at the end of the present month
for Memorial day bloom. Pot off singly
before planting out. C. W.

The fact that you have had excellent
success in flowering spiraeas that never
have been exposed to frost is the best of
evidence that freezing, though custom-
ary, is not necessary. The advantage of
exposure to frost in the case of spirroa
clumps is that they start more evenly
and more rapidly. F. E.

FORMOSA LILIES STUNTED.

I have grown a liouse of Formosa
lilies for several years with good re-
sults. I pot them up in 4-inch jiots,
place them under a bench until they
are thoroughly rooted and about four
inches high, then I plant them out into
the bench and keep them slightly
shaded for about ten days, with a night
temperature of (iO degrees and a <lay
temperature of about 70 degrees. The
lilies look strong and healthy and give
from four to eight flowers from a 7x9
bulb, but this year they do not grow
more than eighteen inches high. I have
never had my lilies stunted before. Can
you tell me what the trouble is?

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

New York, N. Y. — Harry A. Bunyard,
Inc., dealer in seeds at 42 West Twenty-
eighth street, has filed schedules show-
ing liabilities of .$12,087 and assets of
$3,083. The corporation was formed
March 4, 1915, with $25,000 cai)ital
stock, to conduct ' ' The Uj)town Seed

bankruptcy was filed against it last
month by these creditors: John F.

A. T. De La Mare Printing & PuV)lishing
Co., New York, $049, and Wm. F. Kast-
ing Co., Buffalo, $49. It was alleged
that August 26 Harry A. Bunyard, Inc.,
transferred a portion of its ])roperty
and gave a chattel mortgage on stock
and fixtures.

All the Formosa lilies I have grown
have averaged three feet in height,
some as much as five feet, a few as
dwarf as your average. Your treatment
seems to have been correct, and I am

Callas.

Callas now will be blooming freely,
and to keep them vigorous a top-dress-
ing of fine bone should be applied once
in ten days, alternating this with liquid
cow manure. Callas are specially fond
of bone and Clay's fertilizer; the roots
seem to devour both quite greedily. The
longer we grow this flower the more con-
vinced are we that the Godfrey calla is
the one for commercial growers. The
flowers are purer white than in the
original type, quite large and far more
abundantly produced.

Lobelias.

Only in a few of the coolest parts of
the United States can the beautiful blue
lobelias be called complete successes as
bedding plants. They stand heat fairly
well. What they cannot stand is hot,
n\oist and sunless weather, which causes
them to rot badly. For window boxes
the speciosa or trailing section is quite
valuable. At such summer resorts as
Bar Harbor, Me., they make a glorious
show. Propagation is by seeds or out-
tings. A fine crop of cuttings should
now be obtainable from the old stock
plants. These will root easily and can
be topped and divided before the season
for spring sales starts. Where seed is
sown, treat it as suggested for begonias
and transplant the seedlings into flats
as soon as it is possible to handle them.
The double blue lobelia, Katlileen Mal-
lard, can be propagated only from cut-
tings.

Vincas.

These notes refer to the flowering ty[io
of vinca, botanically called V. rosea,
which is a most useful and persistent-
flowering bedding plant. T usually grow
three colors, pink, pure white, and Avhite
with a pink eye. To germinate seed sue
cessfully requires a high temperature
and some bottom heat. Place in flats or
small pots and later shift to larger pots.
One pinch will make them bushy. In
April or early May, if greenhouse bench
space is at a jiremium, these, in common
with other bedding plants, will make a
splendid growth if plunged in a hotbed.
Give the plants a light, rich soil; if poor
soil is given they will always look
stunted and starved. The vinoa is one
of the dependable bedding plants, giv-
ing a constant blaze of bloom from mid-
June until frost.

Anemone Japonica.

If you are not growing Anemone Ja-
ponica you should make up your mind
to do so. There is no more valuable
florists' flower in September and Octo-
ber, before mums are in good season.
A good many buy small plants and, be-
cause they do not give quantities of
bloom the first season, lose courage and
drop them. Allow them to establish
themselves; then, in the second season,
they will easily attain a height of five
feet in good soil. They are easily propa-
gated now from root cuttings. Dig up
one or two old plants, cut the thicker

roots in pieces half an inch long, scatter
these on the surface of a warm propa-
gating bench, cover with sand and water
well. Keep them moist; provided your
drainage is all right, none will rot and
about all will grow. After leaves ap-
pear, pot off singly, gradually harden
off and plant outdoors about the end of
April. If you let your customers see
how showy and valuable these are, you
should be able to sell a good many young
])lants each season. A. Japonica alba
still is the best white, and Queen Char-
lotte has not been beaten as a colored
variety.

Purchase Seeds Now.

The European war has closed the doors
to a large part of the seed imports from
the Old "World, and it is a hard problem
for our seed merchants to secure neces-
sary supplies for their orders. Seed
orders should be placed as soon as pos-
sible. Do not allow yourself to get hot
under the collar if your full order does
not arrive by return mail; be indulgent
with your dealer. You can have no idea
of the difficulties he now has to secure
what you need. We must make due al-
lowances not only for late deliveries, but
also for some poor germinations, and
there is some probability that every-
thing may not come true to name. Sit
down and make out your orders now,
while the frost reigns supreme and your
coal ])ile steadily dwindles. Be cour-
ageous enough to try some novelties and
ilo not buy cheap seeds, especially when
it comes to greenhouse plants like cycla-

mens, cinerarias, calceolarias, primulas,
begonias, gloxinias, etc.

Polnsettias.

No one wants polnsettias after the
holidays and any left-over stock might
as well be laid away under a dry green-
house bench and left there until May.
No water will be needed until the time
comes to start up the stock again. Stock
plants from beds or benches can be lifted
and packed close together in soil in a
potting or other shed, where a minimum
of 45 to 50 degrees is maintained. You
can forget your polnsettias from now
until May. Euphorbia jacquiniseflora
must not be so severely dried off as the
poinsettia — which, by the way, is also a
euphorbia — or the greater proportion
will die.

FLOWEES FOE VALENTINES.

At the January 4 meeting of the Chi-
cago Florists' Club it was decided to
start an active advertising campaign
with the object of creating and stimu-
lating a greater demand for flowers for
St. Valentine's- day, February 14. The
form of advertising to be used is poster
stamps, on the same plan as those used
extensively by the Red Cross and in a
number of other commercial lines. The
committee has contracted for a large
supply of special heart-shaped stamps
for distribution through florists to the
general public. These stamps are beau-
tifully designed and bear the inscrip-
tion, "Let your Valentine gift be flow-
ers." The Chicago Florists' Club has
arranged to furnish these stamps to the
trade at a reasonable price, any profit
made to be used for future cooperative
advertising for flowers. Florists all
over the country are invited to use
these stamps. Price list and order blank
will be issued shortly, but the commit-
tee advises that orders be sent immedi-
ately, as stamps are going fast. F.
Lautenschlager, 440 W^est Erie street,
Chicago, is in charge.

BEITISH BAN GEEMAN PIPS.

Correspondence on the Subj*:t.

It has been suggested that the quanti-
ties of valley pips that have come into
the T'nited States this season were so
great as to lead to the belief that the
British government had relaxed its
blockade, but recent correspondence in-
dicates that if pips of German origin
are coming in it is because shippers are
taking a chance, either that or the Brit-
ish authorities have been deceived. The
attitude of the British government is
set forth in the following letter from
Washington :

.STATE DKI'ARTMKNT, AVASHINOTOX.

Deeciiiber 22, 191C.

respondeiice in reKanl to your desire to olitnin n
shipment of lily of the valley pips from Hjalninr

lienhasen statinf: that he is informed that the
crop of lily of the valley i)ips in Denmark this
year is only one-Iifth to one-tenth of the nor-

mal rnip anil tliat, therefore, to fill existinR
orders, German pips v\ill have to be used. The
Minister indicates that this accounts for the"
attitude of the Dritish authorities and that Hjal-
niar Hartmann & Co. are (inwilliuK to make ship-
ments unless positive assurances of non-interfer-
ence are Riven bv the Ilritish authorities. The
Minister states that Hartmann has 1,000,000

The Prospect.

It seems quite clear that the supply
of valley pips in Europe this year is
materially reduced by the demand for
food crops, but that there will be ])lonty
for America should peace come unex-
pectedly or other circumstances result
in raising the blockade. As long as
present conditions continue, however, it
is })lain that the question of supply will
keep American valley forcers guessing.

the following advertisement as a New

Vear's resolution for the public:

. Uesolved, That I will join that rapidly increas-
ing number of big-hearted and thoughtful peo-
ple who believe in giving flowers to the living
and making their lives happy. I will brighten
the winter days with the cheering presence of
nowers. I will see that the wife, at home with
the ilaily cares and burdens, is left a message
of love in the form of flowers. I will see that
niy dear old mother's life is made joyful by a
message such as onl.v flowers can convey. I

RANDALL HOLDS SALES MEETING.

A sales meeting and dinner was held
by the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, De-
cember 26, 1916, in the West room of
the Hotel Sherman, thirty-seven mem-
bers of the sales force being present.
The newest offerings from the various
Randall factories were discussed and ex-
l)lained and plans for the coming year
announced. The meeting was most suc-
cessful in every particular and hearty
cooperation between the men for the
future was assured.

Conrad C. Gindra, of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., believes the retailer should carry
as varied a stock as possible of both
foliage and blooming plants, mentioning
especially the sales of Cissus discolor,
Stephanotis floribunda and a plant of
I'onderosa lemon carrying eleven large
fruits, for ,$25 each plant, showing that
the public will buy if the goods are there.
Euphorbia and clerodendron are includ-
e<i in the list of uncommon and salable
plants. A grand lot of Begonia Mrs.
.1. A. Peterson was noted and my good
friend regretted that he had not a
larger stock of this acknowledged peer
among begonias. Cyclamens were
heavy in bud and foliage, but backward
in blooms; this was noted generally
through this territory. Carnations
White Wonder, Matchless, Alice and
Comfort are leaders. "Vassar College
business is exceptionally good this sea-

son.

observed Mr. Gindra.

We

cleaned out our entire cut of chrysan-
tluMiuims, which were fine. We had the

order for the 'Daisy Chain,' which was
1,114 feet in length. It was a daisy, I
can assure you."

Christian Dean, of Saratoga Springs,
N. Y., remarked that it might seem un-
christian, but an increase in the mortal-
ity rate would mean more funeral work,
which had been dull. The summer sea-
son was good, with more planting than
formerly, and fair prices. Preparations
for a big spring business are under way.

The John Ralph Estate, of Saratoga
Springs, finds business good, owing to
the fact that Saratoga is becoming more
of an all-year resort than formerly.

The Allen Greenhouse Co., of Hudson,
N. Y., reported good holiday prospects,
with stock to supply the demand. My
attention was called to some bushes of
Daphne odorata, occupying a space about
six feet square, from which 500 blooms
were to be cut, to sell readily at 5 cents
each. Manager Alfred Sitter thinks it
a profitable corner. W. M.

TIN POTS?

I have noted the articles in The Ee-
view about the shortage of clay pots.
Can we not get someone interested in
the manufacture of tin flower pots? This
is just the time to do it. I think it is
strange they have not come into use be-
fore this, as they are just what we want.
There is no question whatever as to their
being a success and I hope someone will
afford us a supply.

TO MAKE TIGHT JOINTS

As one good turn deserves another,
I wish to pass along to the trade a little
suggestion on making gas-proof and
steam-proof joints, at the same time pre-
serving the threads of the pipes and
thus insuring a ready response to the
wrench whenever it is necessary to un-
couple a joint. My method is to use
graphite mixed with steam cylinder oil
to form a paste. This coAipound is used
by marine engineers in preference to
ordinary pipe compounds or leads.

T. E. Hornby.

COAL-TAE PAINT ON PIPING.

T noticed the letter of M. E., in The
Keview of December 28, page 82, stating
that he had coated his hot water pipes
with a paint containing creosote, and
that the fumes from the paint had ruined
most of the stock in the house and "al-
most put him out of business." If it
is not too late to be of service to him, I
have a suggestion to offer.

According to my experience, there is
only one chemical that will remove the
creosote or counteract its effects, and
that is oxide of iron, mixed with pure
linseed oil. Paint five or six 2-inch
pipes with this every twenty-four hours.
Or, if the pipes are larger, do not paint
so many of them. A good coat of this
on the piping will produce good results
almost immediately. Be particular,
however, to use nothing but pure linseed
oil and oxide of iron. After applying
the mixture, open the ventilators two or
three inches for about twelve hours, to
allow the fumes to escape, and the plants
will not be harmed. M. Noir.

"PAINTING" THE PIPES.

All florists, of course, are anxious to
have their heating plants last as long as
possible, and recent inquiries in The Re-
view have led me to think that my ex-
perience might be of some benefit in this
connection.

Three years ago I installed a heating
system comprising 4.100 linear feet of
4-inch boiler flues. These I painted or
covered with raw linseed oil. This was
put on quickly by means of burlap satu-
rated with the oil, and rubbed. It took
about a week to dry, and formed an air-
tight, rust-proof coating. This has
proved highly satisfactory and has de-
veloped no objectionable features.

However, in conversation afterward
with a gentleman whom I knew to be

well informed on the subject, I was told
by him that a thin lubricating oil, such
as auto oil, would be just as good. "In
fact," he said, "if the pipes are rustj',
such oil would be much better, because
it would penetrate under the rust scales
as linseed oil would not." So, this fall,
in adding 2,400 feet of 4-inch tubes, I
acted on his suggestion and covered the
pipes with lubricating oil. At this writ-
ing it is entirely satisfactory. Lubri-
cating oil is nearly odorless. With the
water at 160 degrees, the odor is not no-
ticeable, except, perhaps, just a trifle at
first.

This same gentleman told me there
was nothing in the world better to
"paint" a steam boiler with than pure
tallow. He said, "Never use tar prepa-
rations. They form a coating and
eventually crack loose and become worse
than nothing, as they then hold mois-
ture."

If I were protecting steam pipes I
would use tallow, put on with a cloth
when the pipes are hot. I would do it
in the summer, when the ventilators are
open. I feel certain it would be a good
plan. I have formed the habit of thor-
oughly cleaning the inside of my boiler
— that is, the firebox and flues — just
after the close of firing, say June 1, and
then coating liberally with oil. We
must not forget that it is when idle the
boilers rust and not when in use. So

Call Guarantee Fund.

The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Eose Society met in Philadelphia
in connection with the local committee,
for the exhibition in March. A resolu-
tion was passed to call for fifty per cent
of the guarantee fund, to be paid on or
before February 1. Everything pertain-*
ing to the coming exhibition seemed to
be moving along nicely.

The preliminary schedule of prizes
was adopted and will be issued without
delay.

Eesolutions were adopted expressing
regret at the death of W. C. Barry, ex-
mayor of Eochester, N. Y., who was one
of the earliest supporters of the Amer-
ican Eose Society, and was held in es-
teem by everyone who knew him.

Department of Registration.

Application for the registration of a

new rose was made by John H. Dunlop,

Eichmond Hill, Ontario, as follows:

Mrs. Henry AVinnett — rarentage, Russell x
Shawj'er; color, bright red about the shade of
Richmond: large, full flower, solid color, foliage
ample; dellciously fragrant, combining the kecii-
ing qualities of Russell with the freedom of
Shavrj'er; form good, petals well reflexed and of
solid texture.

Mr. Dunlop said: "I am proud of

being the first Canadian grower to have

the honor of entering a seedling of such

sterling merit, as I have had a number

of visitors both from the United States

and different parts of Ontario, and all

agree as to the quality of this new

rose." B. Hammond, Sec'y.

INDIANA FLORISTS' MEETING.

Also Rose Trophy Contest.

The regular annual meeting of the
Indiana State Florists' Association was
held in the Eiley room of the Claypool
hotel, Indianapolis, January 10. Com-
petition for the Indiana rose trophy
was held in conjunction with this meet-
ing.

The session was opened by President
A'esey, who gave a short retiring speech.
Mr. Yesey thanked the members for
their cooperation in making his two
terms a success and mentioned the great
growth of the society during his last
term. Next came the minutes; they
were heard and approved. After this
Dan Bash and Thomas Hepler were pro-
posed for membership. Their names
were held over until the next meeting,
as is the usual custom. F. J. Ball and
Mr. Schnider were elected to member-
ship. The secretary's report then was
read, and it was a record-breaker. The
membership of this society has grown
from 150 to 167 during the year. This
was followed by the treasurer's report,
showing a sinking fund of $.540.81 and
a cash balance on hand of $203.19, mak-
ing a total of $744. Then came the re-

ports of the auditing committee and the
state fair committee, the latter consist-
ing of Harry White, E. O. Steinkamp,
J. D. Connor, Jr., Charles Pahud, Adolph
Baur and Theodore Dorner. This com-
mittee recommended a change of pre-
mium list, that is, to strike off the ama-
teur classes and add the amount of these
to the professional classes. Several new
classifications were made for the pro-
fessionals, these to be put up to the
state agricultural board for approval.

A. F. J. Baur gave a short talk on the
accomplishments of the Purdue experi-
ment committee. A vote of thanks was
given to the committees by the presi-
dent, in behalf of the association. Amend-
ments were proposed to the by-laws,
Section 3, to take care of the July meet-
ing in a different manner from now on.
This, as usual, was held over until the
next regular meeting.

State Entomologist Wallace gave an
interesting talk on some vital points re-
garding the shipments of greenhouse
stock to other states. A movement was
suggested against the importation of
foreign stock, such as azaleas, rhododen-
drons, and all such hard-wooded stock.
Committees were appointed to cooperate
with Mr. Wallace on this matter and

recommendations were made by the as-
sociation to William Gude, the national
representative of the S. A. F., on this
same point. There was a vote for in-
creasing the secretary's salary to $100
per year. This was passed.

The New Officers.

The election of officers resulted in
the choice of the following: President,
Irwin Bertermann, Indianapolis; first
vice-president, Herman J. Young; sec-
ond vice-president, Fred Heinl, Terre
Haute; secretary, O. E. Steinkamp, In-
dianapolis; treasurer, Charles Pahud, In-
(Uanapolis.

The judges of the exhibits were Fred
Heinl, J. F. Ammann and W. W. Coles.
Rose exhibits were made by Frank &
Sons, of Portland, Ind.; the E. G. Hill
Co., of Richmond, Ind.; the Bertermann
Bros. Co., of Indianapolis; W. S. Stew-
art & Son, of Anderson, Ind. The rose
trophy was awarded to Frank & Sons,
of Portland.

A carnation exhibit was made by
Baur & Steinkamp, who exhibited
Merry Christmas, scoring ninety points,
and their new crimson seedling, which
received eighty points. F. Dorner & Sons
C!o. exhibited Laddie, a pink seedling,
scoring ninety-one points; Rosalia, scor-
ing eighty-six points, and a novelty yel-
low, Old Gold. Some exceptional cycla-
mens were exhibited by the Bertermann
Bros. Co. and some fine Brilliancy coleus
by the Pahud Floral Co. After the judg-
ing the meeting closed with the auc-
tioneering of the flower exhibits, the
receipts of which were given over to
the carnation show fund. This was fol-
lowed by the annual banquet.

HERMAN W. BOGEBS.

WHEN a wealthy woman died in Detroit last autumn it changed the course of a
popular Chicago florist 's life — for his wife was the only heir. Herman Rogers
was born in Detroit, but has spent his business life in Chicago. He began with his
brother, Thomas C. Rogers, with whom he remained, except for a year spent at the
World's Fair with M. F. Gallagher, until the outbreak of the Spanisli-Anierican war.
Returning from service in the 32d Michigan regiment, he joined Walter Ritzer & Co.,
but since 1904 has been with Weiland & Risch. In 1901 he married Miss Ella Evans,
of Pentwater, Mich. They have a son, Bernard, now 13 years of age. In leaving
Chicago for his old home at Detroit, where his wife's inheritance lies, there is the
possibility that the trade is not losing him, as his activities have been centered in it
so long he may find it difficult to change the habits of years.

was followed by a buff"et luncheon.

AT CHICAGO.

Letter from President Amling.

The meeting of the Chicago Florists*
Club, held at the Morrison hotel Janu-
ary 4, was better attended than any
in some time, over seventy-five mem-
bers being present. The most important
business was the installation of new
officers, which took place after the re-
tiring officers had rendered their respec-
tive reports. President W. H. Amling,
who is just recovering from an illness,
was unable to be present, but sent the
following letter, which was read by
Vice-president Paul Klingsporn, as
chairman for the evening:

It is with deep reprot that I am missinff this
meetinjr. Althouph I am Rettinj; along nicely
and have good chances for an early recovery
from my late Illness, my physician would not
grant my request to let me go to the meeting
tonight, but called it imwise and urged nie to
wait another month. Since the pen is mightier

than the sword and the doctor stronger tlian the
l)atioiit, I iTiust siiliniit to his ruling. However,
if I cannot Xto with you in jxTson I am witli
you in soul and spirit and wish the club as such,
and each nienil)er individually, good health and
a very happy and prosperous New Year and an
enjoyable time for the evening. I hope that all
the rest of the officers elected for the coming
year come well prepared with a goo<i long speech,
so that you will not miss the chairman. Espe-
cially our new secretarj-, who is world-renowned
for his talent in speaking, has something up his
sleeve and is loaded to the brim. Get it nut of
him. And I know that the vice-president elect,
with his jilcasant face and melodious, touching
voice, will do such credit to the chair tluit the
club will be more than pleased.

It l>elnR the duty of the chairman to appoint
certain standing committees, I would beg the fol-
lowing gentlemen to serve for the year:

Committee on Good of the Club — G. Asnius,
G. French, Fred Lautenschlager.

Committee on Simrts and I'astimes — Pete 01-
sem. Fre<l Price and Joe Einweck.

Committee on Transportation — M. Barker.
(Mr. Barker to appoint the otlier members him-
self.)

Sergeantat arms — Michael Fink.

The other new officers were present,
as follows: Vice-president, Paul Kling-
sporn; secretary, Allie Zech; treasurer,
Otto Amling; trustee, W. J. Keimel.

The Florists' Review

JANUAUY 11, 1917.

Thos. Heaven, of Benton Harbor, Mich.,
were elected to membership. An appli-
cation from Duncan Robertson was re-
ceived. It was voted to send a letter of
condolence to the respective widows of
the late N. J. Eupp and W. L. Kroes-
chell. As many are planning to at-
tend the convention of the American
Carnation Society at Indianapolis, Janu-
ary ol and February 1, the club ac-
cepted the recommendation of the trans-
portation committee that the delegation
take the train leaving at 11:40 p. m.,
via the Monon route.

Sam Seligman made the suggestion
that the club plan an advertising cam-
l>aign via the movies, showing growing
methods, the wholesale disposition of
stock, interior of retail stores, etc., say-
ing that he could obtain a special price
on having the films made. The matter
was referred to the S. A. F. lies Cole,
of Springfield, 111., brought up the sub-
ject of a thorough revision of the pre-
mium list for the Illinois State Fair,
having it brought up to date. This was
referred to the Illinois State Floriats'
Association.

Cooperative Advertising Started.

St. Valentine's day advertising by
means of stamps to be pasted on en-
velopes the same as Red Cross stamps
was discussed. It was decided to have
these stamps bear the inscription: "Let
your valentine gift be flowers," and a
committee consisting of F. Lauten-
schlager, chairman; George Asmus and
M. Barker was appointed to handle the
affair. The club voted to guarantee
]iart of the expense provided it did not
exceed $100. Subscriptions were, how-
ever, received from various members be-
fore the meeting adjourned, which ag-
gregated more tlian this sum. The stick-
ers are for sale by the committee.

August Jurgens, who because of his
illne.«s was unable to attend, sent a
bunch (if Golden Spur narcissi, accom-
panied by a message saying that though
he was not tliere in body he was there
in spirit and tliat he hojies that he can
attend the next meeting. Some fine
Russells and Ophelias were exliibited by
Stielow Bros., Niles Center, 111., while
the Wcllworth Farm Greenhouses.
Downers Grove, 111., showed some excel-
lent Killarney Brilliants and Miladys.
A vase of Hamburg Late White chrys-
anthemums was exhibited by C. T.
Gueiilhor, Hamburg, N. Y.

AT ROCHESTER.

The annual meeting and election of offi-
cers of the Rochester Florists' Association
was held at the Musicians' Headquarters
January 8. It was a rousing and enthu-
siastic get-together; the attendan(e was
well over fifty. The retiring president,
Charles H. Vick, presided. Several new
members were voted on and admitted.
The balloting for officers resulted in the
election of the following: President,
H. B. Stringer; vice-president, Fred
Thomann; secretary, Ambrose H. Seeker;
treasurer, George T. Boucher; trustees,
.lohn Dunbar, A. H. Salter and Hugo
Teuto. Charles H. Tick then presented
to the association the newly made offi-
cers, amid much cheering.

Nathan B. Graves, in behalf of the
association, spoke of the admirable way
in which Mr. Vick had worked so ardu-
ously for the association during his two
years as president and of the good way in
which he had kejrt the interest up. As
a token of esteem, Mr. Graves then

presented to the retiring president a
handsome cut glass vase, filled with red
and yellow roses, with the good wishes
of all the members. Mr. Vick suitably
responded. Music was furnished by
George T. Boucher, Horace J. Head and
W. Teute. H. J. H.

AT NEW YORK.

The Admimstration Change.

The monthly meeting of the New
York Florists' Club, held January 8,
was attended by 150 of its members.
Twenty-five new names were proposed
for membership and C. C. Reck, L. E.
Dupuy, A. Van Praag and M. A. Clarke
were elected. Resignations were made
by Geo. Ehrle and William Chalmers.

Visitors at the meeting were J. H.
Stalford, of Bar Harbor, Me.; B. Ham-
mond Tracy and Theo. Murray, of
Boston.

An appropriation of $200 was author-
ized for the premium list of the Amer-
ican Gladiolus Society.

Great enthusiasm was shown over the
outlook for the convention of the S. A.
F. The next meeting of the club, Feb-
ruary 12, will be devoted exclusively to
the interests of the convention.

A letter of sympathy was ordered
sent to Jos. H. Vocke, now convalescing
at Nashville, Tenn., following a severe
attack of pleurisy.

President Weston made an interesting
farewell address, in which he gratefully
acknowledged the splendid assistance of
his various* committees. Mr. Weston
then introduced his successor, G. E. M.
Stumpp, who made an address full of
])romise of achievement for 1917. He
was followed by his staff. Vice-president
J. H. Fiesser, Secretary Young, Treas-
urer Rickards and the new trustees,
Messrs. Irwin, Canning and Kottmiller,
each of whom pledged his best efforts.

President Stumpp appointed the fol-
lowing committees:

tificate, A seedling carnation from

commended and a display of Roman hya-
cinths by P. W. I'opp received the
thanks of the club. J. A. S.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

As usual following the holiday de-
mand, the market last week was with-
out any special feature, and little life
was in evidence up to its close. Prices
remained steady at about the previous
week's averages. Shipments were coni-
])aratively light and the demand by the
retailers was less than anticipated.
More life is assured for the present
week.

Growers of cut flowers have much

cause for self-congratulation. They
surely have no just cause for complaint
on the score of values now prevailing,
especially for roses and carnations.
American Beauties are again in the van
of popularity and the best flowers were
held at 50 cents each, with not enough
for the demand. Hadley is widely
grown this season and the supply is
abundant. There seems to be a scarcity
in the lower grades of the hybrid teas
and good No. 1 roses are worth nearly
as much as the long-stemmed arrivals.
Few roses sold under $5 per hundred
last week; of the long-stemmed ones
not many brought over $10, with $15
occasionally for the novelties.

Carnations were a surprise in their
steadiness, and the perfect flowers eas-
ily commanded $5 and $6 per hundred.
Few sold under $4. There was no sur-
plus and everything first-class was in-
stantly absorbed. Larger shipments are
expected this week. The best violets
January 6 were selling at $1 per hun-
dred. There was no oversupply of the
fresh flowers and their popularity seems
to be increasing. But there is no retail
demand for any but the selected.

The orchid supply of several season-
able kinds is abundant, and prices range
from 25 cents for dendrobiums to 60
cents for the cattleyas. Cypripediums
are down to $12 per hundred. Longi-
florum lilies have receded to $10 per
hundred, with a downward tendency.
Lily of the valley sold during the week
from $5 down to $2 for the low grades,
with no special demand for it. Gar-
denias do not rise above 25 cents each
for the highest quality. Most of the
arrivals are closed out at $1 per dozen.

Narcissi in several varieties bring
from 25 to 75 cents per bunch. The
best Purity freesias sold at 75 cents per
dozen sprays. Some of them were of
exceptional quality. Callas were scarce
and held their $2 per dozen price with-
out difficulty. A few gladioli from the
south are seen, but there is little de-
mand for them. January 6 saw the
last of the chrysanthemums. A few
irises are arriving. There has been an
overflow of stevia, much of it of a low
grade. Some splendid mignonette is
seen, and myosotis. The usual season-
ajjle flowers are abundant — sweet peas,
wallflowers, daisies, calendulas, tulips
and pansies.

Branches of flowering shrubs are dis-
])layed and large shipments of wild
smilax are arriving. The supply houses
seem to be almost as busy as they were
before the holidays.

Various Notes.

The New York spring flower show is
the event of most importance in the
near future, and its opening is only
eight weeks away. Secretary Young
says it will distance all its predecessors.

The joint committee of the New York
Florists' Club and the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York meets every week.
Exhibition space has been so widely
s])oken for that another floor of the
(Jrand Central Palace may be necessary.

The new vice-president of the S. A. F.
is already busy in behalf of the con-
vention here in August. In an inter-
view he said it was "none too early to
formulate plans and to put forth efforts
to make the coming convention the
banner meeting of the society." Mr.
Miller is an enthusiast and no sacrifice
will be too great on his part in arrang-
ing for the enjoyment of the many visi-
tors expected.

An exhibition of the Horticultural
Society of New York will be held Jan-
uary 1."? and 14 at the American Mu-
seum of Natural History. The monthly
shows usually have been held for an
afternoon each only, but it has been de-
cided to try the experiment of holding
them for two days. Tliere are classes
open to all and others restricted to non-
commercial growers. Prizes are offered
for cut flowers of orchids, carnations,
sw-eet peas, schizanthus, Buddleia Asi-
atica and antirrhinums. I'remiums also
are offered for j)rimula and begonia
plants. Special ])rizes may also be
awarded by the exhibition committee

largely by himself.

Seekonk, Mass. He was in his ninety-
second year.

Mr. Johnson was born at Brooklyn,
Conn., and moved to Providence when
a young man. In 1879 he opened a seed
and implement store at 6 Exchange
place, which he conducted until 1890,
when he disposed of it to the Provi-
dence Seed Co. His wife having died,
Mr. Johnson retired to his farm in
Seekonk. There he carried on a green-
house business for a number of years.

OBITUARY.

John W. Bahr.

While working in his store at Eliza-
beth, N. J., January 4, John Bahr was
stricken with heart failure. He was
found dead a little later by his son.
Mr. Bahr was 04 years old and had
lived in Elizabeth for the last forty
years. Most of that time he conducted
a flower store at the same place where
he died.

Mr. Bahr was born in New York and
moved to Elizabeth from there. He
was prominent in civic affairs until
recent years. He is survived by three
sons, Walter W., John A. and Richard
A. Bahr, and one daughter, Mrs. Julia
A. Sears. The funeral was held Jan-
uary 5. R. B. M.

Hamlin Johnson.

Hamlin Johnson, for many years pro-
l)rietor of a seed store at Providence,
R. I., died December 31 at his home in

Minneapolis, Minn. — A lively debate
concerning the appointment of a guard-
ian for Miss Hattie B. Whitted, head of
the Whitted Floral Co., which operates
two stores here, was staged recently be-
fore Judge Dahl. Three days before
Miss Whitted was declared mentally in-
competent to transact her affairs by a
nerve specialist, she gave her brother-
in-law, John G. Taylor, a power of at-
torney. When Miss Whitted 's condi-
tion became known, the creditors of the
Whitted Floral Co. came to the front
and took charge. The creditors, how-
ever, refused to countenance the pro-
posed guardianship of J. G. Taylor or
Mrs. Taylor, the latter having peti-
tioned the court for her sister's guard-
ianship. Undue influence was suggested
by the questions put by the creditors'
attorney in court. Mr. Taylor said the
liabilities for the two flower stores
amount to about $22,000, and that the
assets are $39,000. He admitted, how-
ever, that under a forced sale the assets
would probably not amount to more
than half of the given sum.

Nashville, Tenn. — The state florists,
nurserymen and fruit growers will hold
their annual conventions here January
;{l to February 2, inclusive.

Mineral Wells, Tex. — Fire caused by
an exploded oil stove recently did con-
siderable damage to Ely's Floral House.
Irreparable damage to many plants was
done by the force of the water from
the firemen's hose.

Auburn, Ala. — The chair of horticul-
ture of the Alabama Polytechnic Insti-
tute will be occupied after the first of
the year by George C. Starcher, a young
Virginian, who recently resigned his
position as associate professor of horti-
culture at the Virginia Polytechnic In-
stitute.

Tallahassee, Fla. — Thomas G. Gordon,
who has launched a florists ' business
here, says he would like to make an ar-
rangement with some southern grower
whereby he could sell flowers and plants
in the capital city on a commission
basis. Mr. Gordon says it will require
some time before he can produce his own
stock. College Nurseries, Tallahassee,
Fla., is Mr. Gordon's full address.

Columbia, S. C. — What with a splen-
did year-end clean-up of stock and an
auspicious start of 1917 business, Mrs.
J. M. Eison intimates that the sunny
side of life is uppermost as far as she
is concerned.

Birmingham, Ala. — Tlie Elmwood
Nurseries & Floral Co., of which Walter
Puckett is president and treasurer, has
a large block of Easter lilies potted and
stored under the greenhouse benches.
Superintendent Carl Bucher says he
never has any alarm about their being
on time; all his worry is the other way.
By January 1 his lilies had made four
or five inches of growth and he was
hoping for cooler weather.

Saint Augustine, Fla. — Speaking of
climatic changes, the band ought to play
"From Greenland's Icy Mountains to
India's Coral Strands" whenever Rob-
ert Person draws nigh, for Robert
jumped from the florists' business in
Duluth, Minn., to the florists' business
at old Saint Augustine, Florida's fa-
mous resort. Mr. Person worked for the
Duluth Floral Co., Duluth, and for
Swanson, the Florist, of Minneapolis,
hut in his new location he is boss.

SOCIETY OF AMEBIC AN FLOKISTS.

Incorporated by Act of Congress, March 4, 1901.

Officers for 1917: President, Robert C. Kerr,
Houston, Tex.; vice-president, A. L. Miller, Ja-
maica, N. Y. ; secretary, John Young, 53 W. 28th
St., New York City; treasurer, J. J. Uess,
Omaha, Neb.

Thirty-third annual convention. New York,
N. Y., August 21 to 24, 1917.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Why is the carnation falling behind in
the selling in flower stores of the bettor
class?

Geraniums are selling splendidly
again, at wholesale, of course. The large
demand for young stock indicates general
confidence in a big spring business.

There is a demand for an effective
soil pulverizing machine that can be man-
ufactured cheaply enough so that it can
be sold at a reasonable price and yet give
a margin of profit on which the maker
can afford to push it.

The idea of one man is to trim his
service to fit his prices, while another
will give the best that is in him and
charge accordingly. Whether the men
are florists or publishers, it is easy to
tell which will make progress.

One of the noteworthy features of the
Christmas and New Year 's trade was the
increase in telegraph delivery orders.
There will be a tremendous volume of
these some day; it needs only for flower
givers to know of the service to use it.

The number of inquiries that come to
The Review requiring no other advice
than to use one of the standard nicotine
extracts according to the directions on
the can makes it clear the manufacturers
of these commodities are not thoroughly
tilling their field.

Practically all the available wood of
Ophelia rose was used last year for prop-
agating purposes and there still was a
shortage of young stock. There will be a
strong demand for the variety again this
year, for many growers who have not suc-
ceeded with any other rose are doing well
with Ophelia.

INDIANAPOLIS HOTEL BATES.

In view of the hardware convention
to be held in Indianapolis at the same
time as the meeting of the Americ&n
Carnation Society, January 31 and Feb-
ruary 1, it has been deemed advisable
by the reception committee to have the
rates of the Indianapolis hotels pub-
lished, so that reservations may be
made in due time. There are plenty of
excellent hotel rooms in Indianapolis, in-
cluded in the following:

Grand hotel, rooms ?1 and up; rooms with
bath, $1.50 and up.

Washington hotel, rooms with bath, $1.50, $2,
?2.50 and $3.

Claypool hotel, single room without bath,
$1.50; with bath, $2.

Severin hotel, room with shower bath, $1.50;
room with tub bath, $2 to $3.50 (European
plan).

John Bertermann, Chairman.

WE GET A SURPRISE.

In the autumn it became necessary to
announce that after December 31 the
subscription price of The Review would
be $1.50 per year. With it vpas coupled
the statement that those whose subscrip-
tions did not expire until after that
date might renew before January 1 at
the old rate of $1 per year. At once
renewals began to come in, a fairly
steady stream of them.

But in the closing week of the year
the stream became a flood, with a deluge
January 2, when subscriptions for 1,054
years were received — in the last ten
days of the offer a total of 2,934!

There proved to be so many new sub-
scriptions in the unlooked-for inunda-
tion that 12,200 copies of the issue
printed January 3 did not sufiice to fill
them all! Many of the new subscrip-
tions could not be started until the is-
sue of January 11.

Beginning with this i.ssue the press
room order will be to print 12,500 copies
of each issue.

Many of those who took advantage of
the renewal offer wrote letters of ap-
proval like these:

I think The Review is one of the best papers
poing nnd would not be without it. — Paul do
>'ave. Fall Kiver, Mass., December 29, 191C.

I consider The Review mv best hired ninn. —
II. P. Myers, Delphi, Ind., "December 28, I'JK!.

We could not get along without The Review
and it will he cheap at the advanced price, as
every issue contains something especially inter-
esting and instructive to us. — Weisell Green-
house Co., Ashtabula, 0., December 27, 1916.

We often find an item carrying a suggestion
that is worth to tis, far removed from the active
centers, much more than the i)rice of a year's
subscription. For instance, this week's issue
carries an idea we are going to use in our new
store that we feel will be one of the big things
for us. — Forest Park Floral Co., Coffevville,
Kan., December 30, 191G.

We think The Review is a very good paper, as
It keeps right up to date on all matters pertain-
ing to the business and our dealings with adver-
tisers In The Review always have been satis-
factory.— (1. L. Curry & Rros., Valencia, Pa.,
December 29, 1910.

So it is not surprising to find in the

letters about advertisements the same

story from the other viewpoint, like

this:

I have had much success advertising In The
Review and consider It the best paper for the
trade. — John Stammes, Kew York, December
31, 191C.

The two insertions sold everj-thing I had.

II. M. Morris, Rantoul, 111., December 28, 19i(!.

We wish to take this opportunity to assure
you that owx dealings with your company have
l>een very sntisfnctor>- and that results obtained
from advertisements in your p.Tper were gratify-
ing. We wish you continued success during
1917. — Lochncr Bros., St. Louis, Mo., December
31, 191C.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

HOW CAN WE SAVE?

There is no Adamson law for florists,
at least not for the man who is in
business for himself. The country flo-
rist rises at dawn and works under glass
till dark, after which he does his book-
keeping, correspondence and other inci-
dental details. In the middle of the
night he gets up and fires the boiler.
To such a man a law making eight
hours a day's work seems like an ex-
tract from Puck, so what will he think
of the proposal to gain another sixty
minutes of daylight next summer by
setting all the clocks ahead one hour?

Daylight saving is one of the things
which have been adopted in Europe be-
cause of the war. Originally proposed
for the purpose of ending the day 's
work an hour farther before sunset
by starting it an hour nearer sunrise,
belligerent Europe adopted it as a
means of prolonging the day's work.
In every way it has operated so suc-
cessfully that there will be a deter-
mined effort to move American clocks
ahead next spring. It is an innovation
which probably will meet with the ap-
proval of all the members of the trade
who work in cities, but it holds zero
in interest for the gardener who labors
from sunup to sundown, with never
time to look at the clock.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Last week found the market experi-
encing the usual after-the-holiday reac-
tion, with both shipping and local trade
dull. By January 6, however, business
began to pick up, gaining strength
steadily up to January 8, on which day
a brisk business was done, especially in
shipping. On the whole there has been
plenty of stock to meet all orders, al-
though at times roses have been hard
to find in the desired length or variety,
and as the demand for other stock was
not pressingly great, prices naturally
slumped somewhat.

Probably the stiffest market was on
American Beauties, which are still in
short supply. Stock coming in was
readily disposed of and quotation prices
were but little deviated from. Russells
again arrived in larger quantities, due
to the few bright days around the first
of the year, and the quality was also
improved. Prices, however, dropped
slightly. Roses in general are not over-
plentiful, but the principal scarcity is
on the shorter lengths of pink varieties
and on Ophelias. The demand for
shorter lengths now far exceeds that
for specials. Carnations have arrived
in large quantities and the latter ]iart
of last week found the wholesalers
struggling to avoid a glut. January 8
the situation was somewhat improved,
but wholesalers were, nevertheless, will-
ing to accept almost any reasonable nffer
and some large lots were shipped out
of town at cheap rates.

Easter lilies are much more plentiful,
while valley remains the same as usual,
enough but not too much. Sweet peas
and double violets also arrive in larger
supply, the former being moved in
large quantities, though at somewhat
lower prices. The quality is good. Ca-
lendulas and mignonette are in small
supply. Paper Whites also are be-
ginning to shorten up. The quality
on the whole is not above the average.
Stevia is rapidly disappearing, while

The Trade's Bankers.

Early January brings the annual bank
elections and one finds an interesting
sprinkling of trade names in the reports.

Joseph J. Budlong, onion set grower,
who this year built a range of green-
houses and started in as a rose grower,
is said to be the largest stockholder in
the Lake View Trust and Savings Bank.
Ho was reelectjpd as its president.

Wm. A. Peterson, of Peterson's. Nur-
sery, was reelected a director of the
Htate Bank of Chicago, one of the
largest in the city.

E. C. Amling, who has been presi-
dent of the State Bank of Oak Park
since its organization, still holds that
position.

August F. Poehlmann is vice-presi-
dent and a director of the Morton Grove
Trust and Savings Bank, the building
of which is just across the street from
the greenhouse office of Poehlmann Bros.
Co.

Albert F. Amling has been vice-
president and a director of the May-
wood State Bank for several years.

The name of Peter Reinberg appears
in the lists of directors of two banks,
one national, one state. The former is
the Ravenswood National; the latter,
the Lincoln Trust and Savings.

The Bowmanville National Bank has
J. C. Vaughan as one of its directors.

Simeon F. Leonard, president of the
Leonard Seed Co., is a director of the
Market Trust and Savings Bank.

as the official route to a convention a
large number of those who went de-
clined to join the party and traveled
on the Pennsylvania, which also could
be used to Indianapolis. But perhaps
the committee will have better luck
this time.

The oldest florist in Woodlawn, J.
Bombenger. plans to spread out. His
property on Woodlawn avenue is for
sale and he is looking about for a good
location for a range of houses for whole-
sale plant growing. In addition to his
store Mr. Bombenger has several green-
houses, but the location is no longer
favorable for growing. The property

is desirable for an apartment building
and he expects to realize a good price
for that purpose.

As indicating- how badly the express
companies were snowed under at Christ-
mas, the E. C. Amling Co. states that
on one of its shipments to Cleveland
December 22 delivery to the customer
in that city was attempted January 3.
It would seem that the liox must have
been buried pretty deeply, for if it had
miscarried it would have been sold im-
modiately at the place of discovery.

New Year's holiday and between now
and Easter will dispose of a larger quan-
tity than in any previous season.

Mrs. F. Stollery sustained injury Jan-
uary 9, when the car in which she, to-
gether with a party of friends, was rid-
ing, collided with a street car at Well-
ington avenue and Broadway. The im-
pact hurled the machine through the
window of a millinery store on the cor-
ner, bringing a load of broken glass
down upon the occupants of the car.

F. M. Debois is now with F. Eonsley,
17 East Jackson boulevard.

Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster,
is much pleased with his Marmon. He
has taken several long drives and says
the car is all he hoped for.

Clifford Pruner has left the city to
resume his work on the road.

The Flower Craft Shop, 1514 Hyde
Park boulevard, has a nice, new green
and gold light car for its deliveries.

Another automobile for delivery pur-
poses is under contemplation by the E.
Wienhoeber Co.

As an indication of how fortune has
smiled on R. Scheffler, who succeeded
E. T. Wanzer at Wheaton after nine
years in his employ, a few months after
taking possession he bought a 125-horsc-
power steam boiler and put steam
throughout the eight houses to help and
meet any emergencies in the heating
line. Upon completion of this improve-
ment, which also called for a couple of
traps and receivers, he found opportu-
nity to add another house 36x250. This
and several smaller improvements com-
pleted, also the peony acreage increased
to five, he decided a newer and more
modern home was needed, so a 10-room
residence was built, with all conve-
niences even to piping steam from the
greenhouse boilers, and the entire place
was electrically lighted. At present an-
other house 36x250 is being glazed and
will be planted to sweet peas.

Paulus Bros., at the corner of Sunny-
side and Clark streets, had a pretty
window of azaleas and cyclamens last
week. Gee. Paulus says "Christmas
business a year ago was extraordinary,
but this last one had it beat a mile."

Chas. Grabig, 1843 Irving Park boule-
vard, says December was the heaviest
he has had in funeral work. Mr. Grabig
has an especially good stock of cycla-
mens and ferns.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market has held firmly since the
holidays. All varieties of flowers are
in moderate supply and in brisk demand.
Prices are fair for the season. The ex-
ceptions to this rule are the whites;
Paper White narcissus chiefly, which
is in oversupply.

Carnations are coming in much more
freely than a week ago. This has
brought the price down a point, making
them much lower in price than at this
time last season, when they were ex-
tremely scarce. At the lower price the
market has been taking them well.
Short-stemmed roses are in good supply,
but the demand for them is so active
that they bring excellent figures. Long-
stemmed roses are rather scarce; they
meet with a limited demand. Sweet
peas have suffered from the dark
weather, which, possibly with the aid
of too high a temperature, has caused
the buds to drop; the finer weather of
the last few days has helped them. Daf-
fodils are becoming more plentiful;
freesia has arrived; Lilium rubrum or
splendens is in good form; superb white
lilac is coming in freely. These are
the principal features of a buoyant mar-
ket, for which few of the growers have
enough stock to bring them in more re-
turns than are required to replenish
their coal piles. They look for an im-
provement in the supply soon.

The First Assembly.

The Assembly balls of Philadelphia
are historic. They date back to the
days when the F. F. P. 's first got to-
gether to entertain the men and women
of national celebrity. Invitations to
the Assemblies have always been prized
by those living in other cities. Invi-
tations to subscribe have been equally,
if not more, prized by those living in
our own city.

The decorations, from the simplicity
of the colonial days, have grown to a

degree of elaborateness that has more
than kept pace with the progress made
in art. The decorator of today must
paint a floral picture, aided by every
accessory at his command that will
please the most asthetic taste. This
picture must be original, beautiful and,
above all, it must form a harmonious
background for the ball itself; or, to be
more explicit, the decorations must en-
hance, not rival, the charming scene on
the ballroom floor.

The decorations for the First Assem-
bly ball held in the ballroom of the
Bellevue Stratford on the evening of
Friday, January 5, 1917, commenced at
the Chancellor street entrance to the

hotel, where wild smilax and palms,
mostly kentias, were used effectively on
the broad, winding stairway that leads
to the ballroom. A handsome bank of
foliage was arranged behind the patron-
esses, who received at the entrance to
the ballroom. The well proportioned,
large ballroom was decorated with orig-
inality and good taste. The background
was formed of liemlock and spruce,
which lent an air of dignity and added
a delicious woodland fragrance. The
immense chandelier that hung over the
center of the room gave out a rich, soft,
pink light from its shaded globes; deli-
cate festoons of smilax enhanced the
effect.

The balconies were simply garlanded
with wild smilax. The southern smilax
formed the bold outline that hung in
curves from pillar to pillar. The more
delicate greenhouse-grown smilax was
used to soften these lines with finer
tracery. Handsome baskets of tiger
lilies, Lilium splendcns, and of deep
pink carnations — Mrs. C. W. Ward —
ornamented the pillars. Specimen pink
azaleas relieved the deep green of the
hemlock and the spruce.

The Clover room, which adjoined the
liallrooni, was turned into a garden.
There were grassy mat walks, arbors,
rustic seats and plants and flowers. The
effect was extremely beautiful. Per-
haps the most striking features were a
group of handsome Cibotium Schiedei
plants; a fountain of colored water sur-
rounded by tropical plants; some speci-
men boxwoods; a pergola and prettily
arranged sprays of Bignonia venusta.
This lovely yellow flower, which is rare-
ly or never seen in commerce, was
grown expressly for the decorators. It
is easily bruised, so that great care is
necessary in placing it safely in posi-
tion. "When placed, with a background
of green, on trellis or arbor, it holds up
■well and is lovely in its rich simplicity.

There were three dinners of xinusual
size, seventy covers each, on the roof
garden of tlie Bellevuc Stratford, before
the Assembly, not to mention a number
of smaller dinners in other rooms of the

hostelry. One of these dinners was un-
usually elaborate. The table was oval
in shape, hollow in the center, the guests
sitting around the outside. The hollow
space in the center was filled by a col-
ored electric fountain, rising from a
pool of water; around the pool were
flowers and plants. About 500 cut
Easter lilies were used in this hollow,
together with a number of pink azaleas
and ferns. Snapdragons and sweet peas
were used on the table. The men's
boutonnieres were single gardenias.

The supper room for the Assembly
ball was laid in the Palm room and ad-
jacent rooms. There were perhaps 200
small tables for four persons each, and
one large table for the patronesses. The
small tables were each decorated with
a single vase or a basket of flowers.
One-third of the tables each had a tall
vase of Beauties or lilies. Two-thirds
of the tables each had a low basket of
pink roses. The patronesses were
adorned with Beauties and pink roses.
There were between 800 and 1,000
guests.

If this picture of floral loveliness is
clear, the credit for it is due the broth-
ers Habermehl, who personally arranged
it in every detail and courteously ex-
plained their work.

Various Notes.

The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Kose Society met in the Bellevue-

Stratford hotel January 4. Progress was
made. The most important detail is
that the American Rose Society will
probably put up a rose garden at the
forthcoming show in March. If this is
done it will insure at least two and
probably three rose gardens.

The January meeting of the German-
town Horticultural Society was held in
the library at Vernon park January 11.
Edwin Matthews spoke on "Oriental
and Occidental Gardens."

The exhibits at the January meeting
of the Florists' Club were: Edward
Towill, of Roslyn, Pa., pink seedling
rose, cross between Maryland and Shaw-
yer; Baur & Steinkamp, of Indianapolis,
Ind., Carnation Merry Christmas; S. J.
Goddard, of Framingham, Mass., Carna-
tions Doris and Rosalia; Littlefield &
Wyman, of North Abington, Mass., Car-
nation Abington; C. F. Gucnther, of
Hamburg, N. Y., Chrysanthemum Ham-
burg Late White. The out-of-town ex-
hibits were staged by the S. S. Pcnnock-
^loehan Co.

A fire of unknown origin broke out
in the boiler room of the Robert Craig
Co. range at Norwood, T*a., about 0 p. m.
January 6. Despite heroic efforts of
the night fireman, the flames spread
to the first-built section of the shed,
burning out the props that supported
the line of 10-inch feed pipes. Tliis cut
off the heat from the greenhouses.

^HB FACT that we have in the past seven years built up the largest Cut Flower Box
business in the Country is our best advertisement. We strive to please and the results
speak for themselves.

"WHEN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE THEM"

is still our slogan.
We manufacture and carry in stock for prompt shipment: Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Mist
Tan, White Carnation and our popular Favorite grade— the latter a most satisfactory telescope
shipping box. Holiday boxes in season. We make special sizes promptly and at reasonable
charge, and specialize in attractive and up-to-date printing and embossing.
With our increased facilities we aim to malce our service the best in our line, and if you are in the market it will pay you to wait
for the "Climax" Salesman, or send for late price list and samples to nearest oflace: 141 Milk St.. Boston; 2914 Uth St.. N. W.. Wash-

callas and other lilies may be had. There
is plenty of stevia to supply the demand
and daffodils are more plentiful. Potted
tulips appear to be more abundant.
There has been good funeral work dur-
ing the last two weeks and weddings
have helped to add to the volume of
sales.

Various Notes.

Fred P. "NVolfinger reports that the
19U) holiday season was the best he
ever had. He had to provide a large
blanket last week, which required more
than 12,000 violets.

William A. Allen, of Union township,
has y)eon selected a member of the
grand jury for the January term of
the Union county courts.

The January meeting of the Essex
County Florists' Club was held this
week in the Krueger Auditorium. The
club discussed the question of holding
another flower show.

T'J^nder "Obituary" will be found the
death notice of J. W. Bahr, one of
EHzabeth's oldest florists.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Business was so heavy at Christmas
that it was feared there would be a
lull as soon as it was over, but instead
there not only was a lively demand for
everything at New Year's, but business
also has kept up to the high-water mark
since. Perhaps tlicre has never been a
season when the trade was so generally
pleased with the after-holiday business
as this year.

The weather man has done all he
could to give us bad conditions. Yet
flowers of all kinds are cleaned out
every day and nothing good goes to the
dump. There has been little new in
the supply of stock. Many of the aza-
leas that did not get in for Christmas
have come in and have been sold. Peas
are perhaps coming in more freely and
there arc ]ilpnty of home-grown orchids
to meet all demands.

Snowdrops are beginning to open out-
doors and the first daffodils are showing
buds. We need nothing so much as a
cold wave. Buds on the early-blooming
shrubbery are showing signs of swell-
ing, and in another week we shall have
the first blooms, if the weather does not
change.

Harold .Toy is riding about in a new
automobile.

Charles Tritsehler, who established a
business of his own a little over a year
ago, is propagating bedding plants heav-
ily. He is building up a good business
in cut llowers.

Mclntyre Bros, are cutting orchids
freely. Their carnations are .a feature
again this winter, and their new white
sport is one of the most fragrant, as
well as one of the largest and freest-
blooming varieties, in the soutli.

The Joy Floral Co. is sliipping more
cut llowers this winter than ever be-
fore. The feature of the cut flowers at
present is sweet peas of exceptional
quality.

Ilaiiry & Sons are still doing a brisk
business in made-up baskets and boxes.

Geny Bros, have been fortunate with
their "azaleas this season, having re-
ceived them in good condition. As a re-
sult they are offering fine stock.

J. F. Corbett has his range of houses
full to the brim with bedding plants,

PROVIDENCE, E. I.

The Market.

Although the advent of the new year
did not create much of a stir in the
flower business, there was a satisfac-
torv demand occasioned by receptions,
dinner and dancing parties. Eoses and
carnations, which were cleared out at
Christinas, are coming in more plenti-
fully. The sliortcr grades of roses are
most in demand. Carnations are arriv-
ing in large quantity and better quality,
while daffodils, narcissi and tulii>s have
made their appearance. Violets are
rather short but promise well, and sweet
peas find a ready sale.

Various Notes.

Joseph E. Koppelman, of J. E. Kop-

fected his eyes.

The Market.

The market was in good condition
last week. There was i)leuty of stock
of evcrytliiiig seasonable, with prices
qnite low. Business is reported good
witli tlie retailers since the holidays.
Tlie stores are using up considerable
stock of all kinds, but not enough to
clear the big receipts. The local-grown
stock has the call and holds up much
better than shippcd-in consignments.

There is a large cut of carnations,
with prices ranging from $1 to $2 for
the best stock. Enchantress seems to
take the lead over any other variety.
Violets are coming in finely, the clear,
cold days having brouglit on a larger
crop since the holidays. They make 50
cents per hundred for the best. Roses
are arriving in substantial quantities,
especially the Killarney varieties, but
meet with a slow sale. Beauties,
Opludia, Sunburst and Russell soil best,
at reasonaVtle prices in all grades.

Paper Whites continue a glut at pres-
ent and are ilown to $2 jier hundred.
Orchids are in large demand, with a
bottom jirice of $G per dozen for cat-
tleyas. Valley is having a good call,
but it has been scarce in this market
since the holidays. Callas and Easter
lilies are not numerous at present. Sweet
peas are coming in nicely and the fancy
varieties are in big demand — $1..'jO per
liundred for the choice. All greens sell
well, especially asparagus.

Various Notes.

The oflicers of tlie Florists' Club met
last week and set the meeting for this
week, January 11, at the store of the
8t. Louis Seed (^o., on Washington ave-
nue, which extended the invitation.
1 'resident Bourdet received many con-
gratulations on his appointment as state
vice-]iresident of tlie S. A. F. for east-
ern ^lissouri.

The Retail Florists' Association will
hold its first meeting of the new year
January 15, at the Mission Inn Garden.
President Young and Secretary Weber
say that it is iniportant that all mem-
bers attend this meeting.

The St. liouis County (irowers' Asso-
ciation held an interesting meeting last
week at the Eleven- Mile House. The
topic of the evening was the coming
spring flower show. David Ceddis an<l
Jules Bourdet were present and laid be-
fore the members the plans of the show,

give his earnest support. Tlie rest of
the eveiiiiifj was taken up with a review
of the lioliday business. The meeting,
according to Secretary Dcutschinann,
was better attended "than any one of the
last year.

Henry Ostertag and John J. Burke,
of Ostertag Bros., spent the greater
part of the last week at Jefferson City,
Mo., preparing for decorations for the
inaugural of Governor-elect Gardner. A
carload of plants and cut flowers was
taken to Jefferson City.

The new stores recently opened — the
I^lossom Show, the Eosery, Kobinson's,
Miss Histon's, those of A. Young &
Co. and the Koenig Floral Co. — report
sjilendid trade. These arc all in Ihe
western part of the city.

Joseph Ilauser, of Webster Groves,
reports that he cut as many as 10,000
violets for the holidays. It is also re-
ported that he sold the stock of his
new single red dahlia to the American
Bulb Co., of Chicago.

F. IT. Weber took a day off last
week and paid a visit to the wholesale
district. The busy season has kept Mr.
Weber close to his business.

Mrs. Fred Ude, Jr.. left this week to
join her husband in Florida, where they
will winter with their son, Emil, who
has large interests there in fruit farms.
Mr. lode's two other sons will run the
greenhouse range at Kirkwood.

The various chairnuMi who have the
spring flower show in charge surely are
workiiig o\ertimc in order to make this
one the largest and best show ever
held in St. Lotiis. The meetings every
Tnesrlay night at Bourdet 's are well
attended. Any florist may attend and
offer suggestions.

!Miss M. S. Newman used many or-
chids and Beauties last week for social
work. Miss Armstrong says they have
been exceeilingly busy with decorative
work since the holidays.

Count von Iloffmaun, manager for
George Waldbart, has been quite sick
since the holidays, being confined to his
home for several days. The absence of
the manager kept Fred Michel and the
rest of the force on the jump.

TTenry Young &: Son, who have a
pretty store on ^faryland avenue, had
a splendid cut of cattleyas from their
own place for the holidays, l^ay Young
is the buyer for the firm in the whole-
sale district.

was done. Prices were well maintained
through the holidays, but they are con-
siderably lower now. Funeral work is
one of the mainstays of business at pres-
ent. The supply of stock is good, but
the quality is below the average on
most items. The demand for roses keeps
up well, but the flowers have weak
stems and small buds. Some extra fine
Francis Scott Key roses are on the
market and sell well. A few good Rus-
sells are seen; few Ophelia roses ar-
rived last week. American Beauties
bring good prices.

Carnations have slackened in supply,
but warm sunshine will bring a large
supply to the market. The quality of
blooms continues good. Easter and calla
lilies are arriving in larger supplies and
move well. Valley is plentiful and re-
ceives a steady but not large call. Cat-
tleyas and cypripediums are not over-
plentiful, but there are enougth to sup-
ply the trade. Extra good sweet peas
arrive and sell fast. The demand for
stevia is large, but the supply is small.
Bouvardia in the double pink moves
well, as also does the single white.
Freesia is selling well now. Violets
move easily; the quality is extra good.

ket work. The supply of green goods
is large and^ includes fern leaves and
mahonia sprays from California.

Various Notes.

The opening of the new Citizens'
Bank January 2 called for an unusual
quantity of flowers, including large
baskets of American Beauties, Key
roses, azaleas and palms.

Stephen T. Mahoney, with S. A. An-
derson, of Buffalo, is visiting his
brother here, who has undergone a seri-
ous operation.

Wilfred Keller is home for the holi-
days, looking fit and well.

David Scott, of Corfu, N. Y., is send-
ing in some fine Machet mignonette,
with stems about two feet long. The
stock sells fast.

Cecil Lester, of George B. Hart's, is
home suffering from a severe cold.

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest H. Wilson and
daughter, of Boston, were the guests of
Mr. and Mrs. John Dunbar a few days
last week. They are on their way to
China. Mr. Wilson devoted eleven
years to exploring western China and
the borderland of Thibet, and spent the
year of 1914 in Japan. Some of the
rarest plants discovered by Mr. Wilson
in his far eastern travels now are grow-
ing in Highland park.

G. D. Bailey, of the Allen-Bailey Tag
Co., of Dansville, N. Y., called on the
trade last week, as also did Emil C.
Volz, of the department of floriculture,
Cornell University.

Nancy carnations are well liked by
Harry Merritt, of St. Paul boulevard.
He considers it the best light pink car-
nation today, with the exception of
Pink Delight, which he thinks is hard
to beat when grown right. Nancy has
a good selling color and is making two
or three times the size of plant of other
pink varieties. It needs little support;
the only support Mr. Merritt has given
it is a hairpin wire on each side of the
plants. He received his stock late in

The Market.

The weather for a number of days
following New Year's day was dark,
gloomy and cold. This caused a sharp
drop in cut flower receipts, and as a re-
sult prices took a brace and markets
have cleaned up remarkably well. With
clearer skies, such as we are enjoying
this week, supplies are coming in more
freely, but the January slump has yet
to materialize. Boses have shortened
up decidedly and are cleaned up with-
out any special effort, the demand for
short-stemmed stock being especially
strong. Bright colors continue to sell
well. Ophelia retains its great popu-
larity. Carnations are selling better
than a week ago. Prices ranged from
$4 to $6 per hundred during last week.
Violets have been rather short, but with
more sun are coming in somewhat more
freely.

Bulbous flowers are more plentiful.
Paper Whites are good and in big de-
mand, but prices are lower than a year
ago. Golden Spurs are as yet mostly
French and hold their price well. Some
tulips are seen, cbiefly La Beine. Lilies
have been selling better at lower prices,
but still are overdone. Valley sells
slowly at $4 to $6 per hundred. Of
sweet peas there is a large supply at
50 cents to $2 per hundred. Yellow
marguerites are also in good supply and
demand. Calendulas are meeting with
a larger sale than ever before here in
winter. Cattleyas are more abundant
and somewhat easier, as are gardenias.
A good many wallflowers, bachelor's
buttons, primroses, mignonette, snap-
dragons and other miscellaneous flowers
are arriving. Green stock continues to
move somewhat slowly.

Various Notes.

John McFarland sold out his big lot
of poinsettias at the holidays. He fol-
lows them with 10,000 giganteum lilies.
Many of these now are a foot high and
look well. He has just received 50,000
valley pips, but does not expect to re-
ceive more, the Allied blockade being
too tight.

Mann Bros, are cutting extra fine
mignonette, Golden Spur narcissi and
La Beine tulips. For Christmas they
had a lot of well berried plants of the
bright Skimmia Japonica.

George H. Noyes had some superb
flowers of the new carnation, Laddie,
an immense pale pink variety, from S.
J. Goddard, January 6. Seedling No.
148, Corner's, is promising — smaller,
but of a little more taking color even
than Laddie.

The first week of the new year has
been a mild one, and has meant much
to the carnations and sweet peas. To-
day, January 7, the thermometer reads
60 degrees, outdoors.

January 6 the roinaiiis of Mrs. Julius
P. Siebold, wife of our fellow florist,

Russell, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty
roses are easily among the best grown
in Lancaster county.

The Rosery in its new store on Center

Antes' Rose Shop, is doing a good busi-
ness.

Mrs. G. Goldbach was much pleased
with the Christmas business, both at
her store on North Duke street and at
her new store at Columbia, Pa.

ir. A. Sehroyer had several large deco-
rations recently. Christmas business
witli him was nnicli in e.xcess of former
years. Miss Carrie Hteckman is an
able assistant at the Sehroyer store.

The next meeting of the Lancaster

nations. At 2 p. m. the club will leave
the Square by trolley for Strasburg, to
visit Charles B. Herr's and Amos N.

Seed Trade News

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATIOir
President, Klrby B. White. Detroit, Mich.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Arnold Ringier, of the W. W. Bar-
nard Co., Chicago, left for Los Angeles,
Cal., January 6.

Thk new prices announced by the
American Can Co. mean an advance of
16 cents per dozen for 3s.

The blockade restriction promulgated
October 6, preventing the importation of
grass seeds into Norway, has been can--
celed.

According to A. H. Smith, of the
Leonard Seed Co., Cliicago, the onion set
market is firm, with lieavy inquiries com-
ing in, especially from the south.

The arrival of the first flock of 1917
catalogues indicates that an extremely
small percentage of the trade has accepted
the action of the American Seed Trade
Association in recommending the adop-
tion of the cental system.

The first edition of Burpee's Annual
for 1917 is 600,000 copies. "Such a
large edition," says a pink slip, "must
nei-cssarily go to press before the result
of the season's liarvest is definitely
known. Sweet corn is tlie shortest crop
in years. Owing to the scarcity of first-
class sweet corn," the prices ])rinted in
the book are revised as per the insert.

MORSE'S SWEET PEA NOTES.

Edited by Lester L. Morse, C. C.
Morse & Co., San Francisco, who have
jjerhaps as wide a knowledge of sweet
peas as anyone in America, have issued
a new book of "Field Notes," brought
down to include the season of 1916. The
issue lists 1.S70 names, with data re-
garding each. It is by far the most
complete record to date'and in addition
to the descriptions there are lists of pre-
ferred varieties in eadi class and color.
There also are several cultural and his-
torical iirticles. It makes a l)ook of 220
pages. In order to make the work a
not too great expense, a price of $1.50
has been jiut on the book.

BIDS ON FREE SEEDS.

The lack of foreign proposals was the
principal feature at tlie opening of the
bids for vegetable and flower seeds for
the Congressional distribution of 1918
by the Department of Agriculture at
Washington January 9. The only for-
eign bidder was Denaiffe & Son, Carig-
nan, France, who put in a bid through
Charles Johnson, of Berkeley, Cal. In
this respect the war made a noticeable
difference in the bidding. The number
of bidders was reduced to about two-
thirds the number who made offers last
year and the prices are noticeably
higher. A number of seedsmen from
the Pacific coast and eastern points at-
tended the opening of the bids, includ-

The court holds that for the breach
of an express warranty that seed is true
to name, where the seller knows the
use for which it is bought and the buyer
plants it in ignorance of its true charac-
ter, the measure of recoverable dam-
ages is the value of a crop had the seed
been as warranted, such as ordinarily
would have been produced that year,
less the value of the crop actually raised.

Facts in the Case.

This suit was begun by Ford to re-
cover damages for the breach of an al-
leged warranty made by defendant in
the sale of watermelon seed.

It appears that plaintiff has for many
years been engaged in raising melons
for market. There was testimony tend-
ing to show that defendant had sold
plaintiff his melon seed for several
years, the variety being known as

that the seeds were not as warranted,

whether they were Klekley Sweets or
not.

The vines produced small melons
which were not readily sold on the mar-
ket. In fact, plaintiff testified that he
was able to obtain only about $100 for
the crop, selling some of the melons at
50 cents a hundred.

There was also proof tending to show
that, had the seed been true to kind,
the crop would have been of a consider-
ably greater value.

The Defense.

The defendant tendered $2 and the
costs accrued in the case. The tender
represented the difference between the
market value of the amount of seed
delivered to plaintiff by defendant and
the same amount of Klekley Sweets.
The defense was that the measure of
damages was at most that sum.

The trial judge held with this in-
sistence and gave peremptory instruc-
tion to the jury to find for defendant.

The Court of Civil Appeals, on ap-
peal, held that this ruling was erroneous
and remanded the cause to the lower
court for retrial.

In modifying and affirming the judg-
ment of the Court of Civil Appeals, the
Supreme court says:

"We hold that this was a proper dis-
position of the case on the part of the
appellate court, though we reach the
result on a different theory of the law.

When the Crop Falls.

"There have been developed two
rules in respect to damages growing out
of the warranting of seed that proved
not true to name. The first class of
cases, dealing with seed, improperly de-
livered under the contract, that is of
-sneh quality that no crop is produced,
announce the restrictive rule that there
is no proper basis for the allowance of
expected profits as damages. The rule
in such case appears to be that the
items of damages recoverable are those
of actual outlay, such as the price paid
for the seed, the expense of preparing
the soil to receive the seed (less general
benefit to the land therefrom), the ex-
pense of planting, and the loss sus-
tained from having the land lie idle for
such period of time as the use of it
was lost. Shaw v. Smith, 45 Kan. 334,

An Inferior Variety,

"The other and more liberal rule is
applied in cases where the defective
seed germinates and produces a crop
that is inferior in quality and value to
the one that would have been produced
in the same circumstances bad the seed
been as warranted. In such case, by an
almost unbroken line of authorities in
England and America, there is held to
be a reasonable basis on which to esti-
mate the profit that would have been
made had the seed been of contract
quality. It is held that this basis is
found in the certainlv ascertainable

value of the crop actually produced,
the court having only to estimate the
difference in value between that crop
and the value of the crop that would
ordinarily have been produced under
the same circumstances if seed true to
name had been supplied by the seller.
The loss is held not to be conjectural
and the damages not to be speculative
or beyond the contemplation of the con-
tracting parties.

A New Jersey Precedent.

"In Wolcott v. Mount, 36 N. J. Law,
262, 13 Am. Rep. 438, this basis for
the allowance of expected profits is thus
recognized:

" 'The loss of the value of a crop
for which the seed had not been sown,
the yield from which, if planted, would

depend upon the contingencies of
weather and season, would be excluded
as incapable of estimation, with that de-
gree of certainty which the law exacts
in the proof of damages. But • • •
if a crop has been sowed on the ground
prepared for cultivation, and the plain-
tiff's complaint is that, because of the
inferior quality of the seed, a crop of
less value is produced, by these circum-
stances the means would be furnished
to enable the jury to make a proper es-
timation of the injury resulting from
the loss of profits of this character.
* * * The uncertainty of the quan-
tity of the crop, dependent upon the
weather and season, was removed by the
yield of the ground under the precise
circumstances to which the seed ordered
would have been exposed.'

A Potato Case.

"In the case of Hurley v. Buchi, 10
Lea (78 Tenn.) 346, it appeared that
Buchi, a market gardener, applied to
Hurley to buy Early Kose potatoes, in-
forming the latter that they were de-
sired to plant for the early market;
that that variety matured about the
middle of June, and was worth on the
market $3.50 per bushel. A different
kind, actually furnished and planted,
did not mature until August. The court
disallowed the claim of the plaintiff
that he was entitled to recover as dam-
ages the increased value of the potatoes
he would have raised and sold if the
seed potatoes delivered had been of the
Early Rose variety; and this, on the
ground that the claim was based on the
assumption that, if the variety ordered
had been delivered, they would have
been planted, cultivated and matured at
a given time (in June), and that there-
fore speculative profits would be in-
volved. The speculative element, we
conceive, was that the anticipated crop
would have matured on a date that sub-
stantially differed from the date when
the seed potatoes that were actually
furnished would and did mature.

"In its particular ruling on the point
of speculative damages, the case ^ of
Hurley v. Buchi may, and we think
should, be treated as not out of har-
mony with the widely accepted general
rule, but as announcing an exception to
it, based on the fact above referred to.
The uncertainty in the quantity of the
crop, dependent on weather and season,
under the facts of that case, was not
removed by any aiding reference to the
actual yieid under precisely, or fairly
similar circumstances. The weather at
or near the date of the maturing of
'Early Rose' seed potatoes might have
been such as to materially affect the
quantity and quality of the production,
while not having identical effect upon
the later maturing variety.

The Measure of Damages.

"Broadly stated, the rule is that for
the breach of an express warranty that
seed is true to name, where the seller
knows the use for which the same is
bought and the purchaser sows in ig-
norance of the true character of the
seed, the measure of recoverable dam-
ages is the value of a crop had the seed
been as warranted, such as would ordi-
narily have been produced that year,
less the value of the crop actually
raised. Wolcott v. Mount, 38 N. J.

dealers only, who buy to sell again." These
books represent the forty-first year of tlie Bur-
pee business, but the first year under the man-
agement of the new generation of liurpees, Da-
vid and AV. Atlee, Jr. Therefore the young men
preface the Annual with these words: "For
forty years "W. Atlee Burpee used this page to
convey his word of greeting to the thousands
who stood so loyally with him in the develop-
ment of the greatest mail order seed business in
the world. He started as a boy of 18 and
worked faithfully "until the end, that he might
serve the American i)eople with the Ix-st seed it
is possible to produce. He wrote last year's cat-
alogue in his own hand, and It had gone to press
when he died — November 2(i. W. Atlee B\iri'ee
grew seeds not only to sell, but to grow again.
He never considered his work a business, tint a
vocation. He wanted no one to pay for his seeds
unless they grew and then only what was just
and fair. The following quotation is character-
istic of the spirit so well Implanted by our late
founder— it is this splendid spirit of service
that governs the Burpee business: 'Tlie Burpee
business is buildcd not for tlie present only, but
with an outlook to the future. A business that
has no vision of the future, or the object of
W'hich is mere money-making, would not be
worthy a life's work.' During the last forty
years the house of Burpee has introtluced more
varieties of flowers and vegetables that are now
in general use than have any three other firms
combined. As sons of the founder, we promise
the same real service, the same standard of qual-
ity, the same careful attention to every detail — •
a continuance of the iHilicy laid down by our
father." Tlie size of the Annual has been in-
creased to 204 pages, as compared with last
year's 182. Thirtv Burpee varieties of stock
are beautifully illustrated in colors.

D. Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa.— A com-

cated in the wholesale list, the merchant can at
once find a description of the variety in the
retail list, with the indicated retail value at
the date the catalogue was sent to the printer."
Another notable feature of the book is that the
prices in the wholesale list are all quoted accord-
mg to the cental system, and the list is pre-
ceded by a table which "enables anvone to find
a near equivalent of pound prices of beans, corn

F. A. P.— Cal.

Bulbs of Spanish iris, freesias and
daffodils, if they do not keep success-
fully in a dry state in boxes, should be
packed in sand. Treated thus, they
should not lose any of their plumpness.

Everyone seems to have been well

in many cases being double that of last
year's.

Boyle & Darnaud, the largest grow-
ers, had all their choicest stock just
right for the trade — fine cyclamens,
valley. Beauties and orchids in plenty.
Mr. Darnaud is responsible for the
statement that the exposition is to go
on for another three months and that
already a great many social affairs are
on the program.

George Otto reports excellent busi-
ness and Miss A. M. Rainford says her

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The cold weather continued, and stock
became scarcer after Christmas and up
to New Year's day. As slightly better
weather conditions obtained at the be-
ginning of this week, the hopes of the
growers were raised a little, and, while
still cold at the time of writing, there
is a prospect of better things to come.
Outdoor carnations are still small, and
owing to the check received do not
open freely; but a few days of fine
Aveather and an improvement doubtless
will be seen. Indoor freesias appeared
in the market the last week in the old
year, nearly two weeks earlier than
usual. They brought high prices on
account of the scarcity of other stock
and their own good quality. Good in-
door carnations sell on sight at good
prices, and the market for indoor roses
is still firm. There are no outdoor-
grown roses worth mentioning.

All small flowers suitable for corsage
bouquets are scarce, and this has led
to a big demand for orchids. Cattleyas
have fallen far behind the demand, and
phala>nopsis and other small flowering
kinds are good property. Greens of all
kinds are shortening in quantity, but

results of our plant advertisements

the quality is good. Pot plants are
scarce.

Possibly the wholesalers never had a
harder row to hoe than this Christmas
holiday and the succeeding days. The
demand led the supply so far that not
half of the orders could be filled.

Various Notes.

The first freesias of the season ap-
peared at the S. Murata & Co. store
December 24, including some excellent
Purity. This concern has not decided
on a new location, it being rather hard
to find a central location large enough
for the increasing business.

J. Ginsburg, of Salt Lake City, Utah,
has been visiting in the city, intending
to put in about a month in all. Hia
brother has charge during his absence.

By the time this appears in print, Ru-
dolph Fischer, of Santa Anita, will be
cutting heavily of his Purity and col-
ored freesias, both of which are in
grand shape; in fact, Mr, Fischer says
he never had finer stock.

Louis F. Darnell, of the J. M. Gasser
Co., Cleveland, O., is here on his silver
wedding trip. Mr. Darnell has been
with his present employers more than
twenty-seven years.

As the building in which he is lo-
cated has to be wrecked, O. W. Saakes
will have to find temporary quarters
while rebuilding goes on. It is under-
stood he will return to one of the new
stores in the theater building to bo
erected on the site. One of the best
table decorations put up by Mr. Saakes
this season called for about 200 cat-
tleyas.

The Howard & Smith store looked
more or less depleted after the holidays,
but on account of its size and the fine
plant stock always displayed it is at-
tractive at all times. Manager Grover,
of this department, says that the busi-
ness was away beyond expectations,
though these were high.

at the various downtown stores and
from the nurseries round about, the sea-
son from every point of view was the
most satisfactory one ever experienced
here. Stock showed good average qual-
ity, was sufficiently plentiful to care for
requirements fairly well and prices were
well maintained. A gratifying feature
was that business held up better than
usual between Christmas and New
Year's, and is keeping up well since the

second holiday. Eastern business is cur-
tailed somewhat by snow blocking the
trains; still, a good deal of stock is be-
ing shipped.

Freesias are one of the important
items at present. The violet situation
has been rather peculiar this season,
weather conditions having interfered
with the violet's progress more than in
former years. Early frosts, hail storms,
heavy rains and extreme cold have tak-
en turns in holding them back. Just
as they would about recover from one
setback, it seemed some other unfa-
vorable condition would develop. At
present the stems are rather short and
the flowers poor, as a result of the
hard rains and cold late in December,
but a little sunshine will bring out a
fine cut.

The supply of roses is about equal to
the demand. There is a fine cut of Sun-
burst; Ward and Russell are strong;
Ophelia holds up well and many are
shipped. The carnation cut is increas-
ing, but the demand is good and prices
are fairly steady. In fact, the carna-
tion market is in better shape than for
several years. For a time more carna-
tions were grown in this vicinity than
the market could absorb, the quality
was second rate and this flower was
the cause of much dissatisfaction. Real-
izing the situation, many of the growers
curtailed their output, so now the sup-
ply is about equal to the demand and
the flowers are greatly improved.

Daffodils, narcissi and other bulbous
stock are rapidly increasing in both
supply and demand. Azaleas are the
principal feature in potted plants, the
reason being that they were not ready
for Christmas. They bring from $2.50
to $4, the same as they brought during
the holiday season, however.

Various Notes.

The Misses Ilannon say that New
Year's business was hampered consider-
ably by shortage of stock, but that they
are well pleased with holiday sales

T. Mosco reports an exceptionally
good New Year's business, cut flowers
having sold better at his establishment
at New Year's than they did at Christ-
mas.

MacRoric & McLaren had several
large decorations during the week,
which, with brisk store trade, kept the
force busy. New Year's eve they deco-
rated the tables at a popular cafe and
other places participating in the cele-
bration on an extensive scale. At the
Powell street store F. H. Forrest ar-
ranged a table in the window typical
of the tables in the large cafes, and it
attracted much attention. This con-
cern made a pall for a prominent fu-
neral a few days ago, using 125 cat-
tleyas, twenty sprays of phalainopsia
and about ten dozen white hyacinths.

The Fresno Seed Co. started in busi-
ness at 2034 Fresno street, Fresno, Cal.,
the first of the year.

The January bulletin of the Califor-
nia Dahlia Growers' Association, con-
taining several interesting items, will
be ready for distribution in a few days.

A new store is being fitted up on
Geary street, near Larkin, for occupancy
by Miss Murray, wlio has been located
at the Clift hotel, Geary and Taylor
streets.

Sidney Beattie, well known in the
local flower business, is being hailed as
*'Pop" since the birth of a daughter a
few days ago.

clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-

very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-

have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling

The Florists' Review

ever before during the holiday season,
but he is inclined to think prices were
not so high as they should be for really
fine stock. S. H. G. *

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

With the exception of February, the
volume of business done by Portland
florists during each month of 1916
showed an increase over that of the
same month in the years 1914 and 1915.
This increase became more marked
toward the last of the year, ending with
a record-breaking December.

Every special flower day observed
here brought a large amount of extra
business, with prices profitable to both
grower and retailer. A shortage of cut
flowers and pot plants existed nearly
throughout the year, so tliat the growers
found a ready market for their prod-
ucts. This shortage was not acute
enough to cause any noticeable loss to
the retailers, and perhaps the condi-
tion of the market would best be de-
scribed as being on the short side.
One large retailer spoke of the condi-
tion as "healthy and satisfactorj' to
all branches of the trade." This same
retailer estimated that in the year 1916
the number of sales of both cut and
]>otted stock had been at least double
that of either 1912 or 1913, He ex-
jilained that this did not mean that
twice as much money had been taken
in, but that people in moderate circum-
stances, the so-called middle classes,
had learned that the flower stores were
prepared to furnish a plant or bouquet,
acceptable as table ornaments or gifts,
at a cost from $1 up; and these classes
have been buying generously, adding a
substantial amount to the total business
done. This sort of trade, once started,
gives promise of permanence and is
likely to improve, and, though the cost
of handling it is somewliat greater than
that of sales in larger units, it is wel-
comed by the florists. Throughout the
Pacific northwest business conditions
generally have improved and there is no
cause to doubt that the improvement
will last. Florists here consider the
outlook for the new year highly satis-
factory.

After New Year's day the market
jjradually returned to normal conditions,
relieving the shortage of cut stock.
Pa]>er AVhites, Koniaiis and froesias
Avcre more i)lentiful, and these, with
carnations, roses and a few late munis,
composed the list of leading cut flowers.
Cyclamens, begonias, I'rimula obcon-
ica and malacoides, and a few cinera-
rias, lead in the jiotted blooming ])lants.
After the funeral work, wliicli had Ji<--
cumulatcd during .Sunday and New
Year's day, had been taken care of,
there was a day or two of comparative-
ly Tjiiiet ])usincss, giving the florists a
needed op])ortur.dty to catch their
bieaths.

Various Notes.

Several carnation growers have not
brought their benches into producing
condition yet. This accounts to some
extent for the dearth of carnations.

Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, called on
the trade just after the holidays.

Carl Gardner, of Clarke Bros., was
late in getting out his statements, about
1,000 of them, as his little girl was sick
and he had to spend much of his time
attending her. She is on the road to
recovery. To add to his troubles, his

^"•'Sl-a'de California Privet

I have over 450,000 of this special ffrade of California Privet,
grown by a new method. The illustration shows a fair sample of each
size. Note the excellent root system.

PRICES

12 to 18 inches $ 8.00 per 1000

1^ to 2 feet 10.50 per 1000

Packed free for cash with order. No order accepted for less than 1000 plants.

Also over two millions of California Privet, of finest quality, in all
sizes, from one to four feet, grown in the usual way. Very attractive

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATIOir OF NTXKSEBYMEN.

Boston, Mass.; Treasurer, Peter Toungers,
Geneva, Neb.

Burlap will be one of the items that
add to the cost of the nursery business
this year and if many more cargoes are
submarined it may become difficult to
procure at any price.

One of the most prosperous seasons
in the history of the nursery business at
Fresno, Cal., is reported to be at its
height at present by three of the largest
producers of ornamental shrubs and trees,
as well as vineyard and orchard stock.

A RECENT issue of the Eural World,
with 350,000 circulation, principally on
the Pacific coast, recently devoted two
pages in color to illustrations of the Cot-
tage Gardens Nurseries at Eureka, with
a page of general text largely based on
the work undertaken there.

OUTBREAK OF POPLAR CANKER.

The Department of Agriculture says
the poplars of this country are threat-
ened by a dangerous fungous disease
which has been imported from Europe.
This disease attacks the twigs, limbs
and trunks of the black and Lombardy
poplars, Populus nigra, and of the Caro-
liha poplars or cottonwoods, Populus del-
toides, and may be expected to attack
other species of poplars and cotton-
woods, in regions not yet investigated.

The effect of the fungus is as follows:
Cankers are formed at the point of at-
tack, spread rapidly and often girdle the
twig, limb or trunk at the point of at-
tack, killing the part above the canker.
Trees attacked on the trunk become
"spike topped." The death of limbs
and twigs gives the trees a ragged ap-
pearance, which spoils their beauty, and
later kills them.

The European poplar-canker is most
severe in its effect on stored and trans-
planted nursery stock. Trees when in
transilf, and when heeled in the ground,
or freshly transplanted in the spring, are
readily attacked by the fungus and
ruined within a short time. This dis-
ease is spread by means of spores pro-

duced in fruiting bodies in the form of
small pimples or pustules in the bark of
the cankers.

The fungus causing European poplar-
canker was first found in Troyes,
France, and described in 1884. The dis-
ease was first reported in America in
1915. During 1916 the pathologist of
the department found the disease preva-
lent in small areas in certain districts in
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio,
Nebraska and New Mexico. The cen-
ters of infections appear to be in every
case either certain nurseries now known
to contain diseased tree.s, or points where
poplars received from such nurseries
have been planted.

How does the new meeting date suit the
members?

Is it time to restrict our membership along
the lines of the national association?

What is the proper number of each grade of
trees to tie in a bunch, and cannot the bunching
be standardized?

Suggestions as to change in date of meeting
of the American Association so that it does
not conflict with the American Seed Trade As-
sociation.

Has any member used the new collection
bureau of the American Association, and with
what results?

Are tho uniform trade terms adopted at our
last meeting being generally used by the
members?

The Market.

During the first week of the new year
business was good and, as stock short-
ened in supply, there was a clean-up
every day, on everything except Beau-
ties. Tulips, narcissi and freesias are
more prominent, and these, with valley,
mignonette, calendulas and stevias, con-
stitute a variety that seems to stimu-
late trade to a certain extent. There
are some fine sweet peas and snapdrag-
ons, which find a ready sale. After the
holidays violets do not seem to be in
much favor.

The retail stores which cater to the
more exclusive trade seem to have beeu
the busiest, as there has been much do-
ing in a social way.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held a meeting
January 2 to nominate officers for the
ensuing year. There was a good crowd
present. Among the exhibits was Merry
Christmas, the new red carnation of
Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis. It
has a splendid, large flower, good color
and good stem, C. F. Guenther, of
Hamburg, N. Y., sent Chrysanthemum
Hamburg Late White. It is a good
flower for this season of the year, but
many think chrysanthemums should end
with the season, about Thanksgiving.
There were exhibits of pot-grown petu-
nias and orchids from private growers.

Henry Meuschke read a paper on the
faker problem at the last meeting, and
this was brought up for discussion. E.
McCallum read a paper in which he
called attention to the fact that there
were many grades of fakers in the flower
business, and that the man who sold
flowers more cheaply than another was
a faker in the eyes of the one who did
not sell flowers so cheaply. There was
a place for each and a class for each
to sell to, said Mr. McCallum, the same
as in every other line of business. He
believes that the low-price man does
not hurt the high-class florist, for when
a buyer wants a good thing he goes to
a good store to get it.

One speaker thought that destroying
the cheaper flowers, or the surpluses,
would have a tendency to limit flower
buying to the wealthy, and keep the
people of the lower plane from enjoy-
ing a few flowers, such as they could
buy from the street boys for a few
pennies.

Of course, the commission men took
the ground that their shippers expect-
ed them to realize every cent possible
on shipments. They had no right to
dispose of the flowers except to sell
them, and the street venders are the
only ones who could possibly dispose
of the immense cuts which come in
times of a glut. The street men can
do this because they take the flowers
to the people, while the storcmen must
wait until the people come to the stores.

Various Notes.

One of the principal topics among
wholesalers and retailers is: What are
we going to do about the express com-
panies? Each year they seem to get
worse and this Christmas was the limit,
as one could neither get shipments in
nor out, and never before were the com-
panies known to absolutely refuse ship-
ments. Perhaps the S. A. F. will take
this matter up at the next convention.

J. Higgins, who has been on the sick
list since Christmas day, is back on the
job. He looks badly used up, but is
glad to have escaped a case of pneu-
monia.

The Market.

The January carnation glut is on in
full blast. Tliis year the situation is
rather peculiar; the glut came earlier
than usual; sonic carnations bring $4 on
contract price, but the finest carnations
can be bought for $2.50 per hundred.
Poorer ones can be had as low as $7.50
jier thousand. Roses, too, are somewhat
abundant, but not to the degree of car-
nations, good stock making from $3 to
$10. The supply of eallas is ample and
these are readily sold at 10 cents each.
Easter lilies are not plentiful at $1.50
per dozen. A few poinsettias still lin-
ger, but there is no large demand for
them.

Sweet peas are coming in more satis-
factorily and are of excejitional qual-
ity. On account of the unseasonably
bright, warm weather, the old comj)laint
of dropping ])uds has not Ijoen heard
this season. Violets, which are becom-
ing more consj)icuous, are in fine shape.
Valley and orchids still are scarce.
Narcissi, Paper Whites, are plentiful at
$2.50 and $3. A few tulips have made
their appearance, but as yet they re-
ceive little attention. Roman hyacinths
are a fair substitute for valley. Bud-
dleia Asiatica has made a place for it-
self and pussy willows are here and sug-
gest the spring. Azaleas and good
cyclamens are now in fine shape and
are readily sold.

per dozen. Blood boils to fever heat
when thinking of hold-up week before.
This shows that the florist is his own
enemy-^he cuts his own throat. The
contrast between mediocre stock at
Christmas time for $1.50 and best qual-
ity stock the following week for 35
cents is too great for the public to
swallow. The people feel that the flo-
rists are taking advantage of them and
are hold-up men. The January carna-
tion glut is an annual occurrence, and,
unfortunately, this year it was a little
earlier. Would it not be much better
to have held carnations from 60 to 75
cents per dozen, according to quality,
than to have created this mistrust, even

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that
you very rarely get a bargain in cheap cuttings or plants.

We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very
best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line.

The quality is right. The packing is right, and, above all, the prices are right, and you
have our absolute guarantee with every order sent out.

The Florists' Review

Januabx 11, 1917.

Arthur Zirkman, of the M. Eice Co.,
Philadelphia, visited the trade this
week.

There has been "some class" to the
fancy sweet peas and carnations that
Charles Bohne has been bringing in.

Mrs. Charles Eandall has undergone
a serious operation at St. Vincent's
hospital and is getting along as well as
could be expected.

George Wiegand has been suffering
from an attack of the grip and bron-
chitis.

Now is the time to boost St. Valen-
tine's dav. Why not make it one of
the greatest flower days of the season,
instead of lovers' day? Why not ad-
vertise it as a day on which one should
remember friends and relatives, as well
as sweethearts— a day of universal good

feeling? . ttt-

C M. Balluff, manager of the A. Wie-
gand's Sons Co., is off on a short vaca-
tion. He was anticipating a family re-
union at Newcastle and a couple of days
of hunting.

One week after the holidays on<} of

the department stores had a sale of

fancy roses at greatly reduced prices.

Miss Kose Brandlein has been ill for

several days. E. E. T.

The Market.

New Year's business, while not to be
complained about, was none too strenu-
ous. The bulk of it was corsages. Evi-
dently the same was experienced in
many other markets, due to the fact
that New Year's fell on Monday.

American Beauties now are extra
good and these as well as other roses
are maintaining the holiday prices. Kil-
larney, Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Sun-
burst and Ward roses continue to sell
well. Easter lilies have been in heavy
demand, but as yet they are somewhat
scarce. Carnations are not quite so
plentiful as they have been, but the
quality still remains, so there is little
room for complaints. Stevia is more
than sufficient for all present demands.
The jonquils and pussy willows have
come again and they make one think
of spring. These serve excellently
in basket arrangements. Roman hya-
cinths, too, have come to the front row.
Both yellow and white narcissi are
abundant.

Violets, single and double, have real-
ized a great demand this season; also
orchids, both cypripediums and cat-
tleyas. Valley has been in heavy de-
mand. Sweet peas are more or less er-
ratic as to quality, some being exceed-
ingly good and others rather poor.
Freesia has resumed its former popular-
ity. Greens of all kinds are plentiful.
Blooming plants are more numerous,
among them being hyacinths, azaleas,
begonias and cyclamens. The first and
last realize good sales.

Various Notes.

William Ehman, Sr., of Corfu, was
visiting in Buffalo last week.

Barney Meyers is sending in good
cuts of jonquils daily.

The Lenox Flower Shop will move to
its new quarters on Delaware avenue
about February 1. The new store has
a 20-foot frontage and is seventy feet
deep. A. E.

Did you see that picture of "Merry Christmas" in The Review
week before last? Did you notice the fine crop of buds the plants
carried, and did you notice the fine stems that carried those buds high
above the plants? The bed to the left is Champion, until this year
our best red. Did you note the difference between that bed and the
"Merry Christmas" bed? The contrast is even more noticeable when
you actually have the plants before you. Come and have a look at them.

The Florists' Review

January 11, 1917.

KA.NSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business last week was good, espe-
cially New Year 's, and an increase over
that of last year was reported. Deco-
rations for dinner parties and weddings,
and orders for corsage bouquets, were
numerous. The market is well supplied
with stock this week, except roses. Bed
roses are in heavy demand and the
prices are high. Carnations are plenti-
ful, if not a little too much so, and the
prices are not so high as they were last
year. Paper Whites, lilies and stevias
are plentiful and good bulbous stock is
arriving. Sweet peas are coming in
strongly. These have good flowers and
long stems. Plumosus and adiantum are
plentiful, but greenhouse-grown smilax

is scarce.

Various Notes.

The Eosery reports business good
throughout the week. Bulbous stock is
coming along in fine shape and it seems
to have been the first to appear in the
market.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports that
business has increased seventeen and
one-half per cent over last year's.
Every month during the year showed
an increase over the corresponding
month of the year previous.

Arthur Newell says business has not
let up since Christmas and that he has
been busy with corsage, wedding and
funeral orders.

Charles Biedermann is using one end
of one of his greenhouses as a garage
for his car. He considers it a good
place for the car, as he then can load
it easily and work on it when need be.
He reports a big increase of business
during the last year.

Miss Edith Eoberts sold her store on
East Eleventh street. The name of the
new concern is Central Floral Co.

T. J. Noll & Co. received their first
batch of Roman hyacinths last week.
Some extra fine roses are being received.

W. J. Barnes had the order for deco-
rating the store of Emory, Bird &
Thayer for the white goods sales. A
large supply of carnations. Paper
Whites and the red begonias are going
fast.

George M. Kellogg Flower &
Co. is receiving large consign-
of roses, carnations and sweet
The greenhouse department is
sending in some fine potted plants of
azaleas, cyclamens and begonias. Mr.
Lamb, the new manager, looks forward
to a larger business than last year.

Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving
some fine home-grown carnations. Busi-
ness in the wire department has in-
creased wonderfully over last year's.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. now is
sending in some fine Ophelia and
Shawyer roses to its retail store. A
large quantity of carnations and sweet
peas is being cut. The Cincinnati be-
gonias were the best this concern has
ever had.

James B. Mason was sold out entirely
New Year's day. Funeral work has
been good. He is cutting some nice
sweet peas and violets. The pot plants
for Easter are looking fine.

John Stevens is cutting an unusually
large number of carnations at his range,
the largest he ever has had. W. J. B.

The Market.

Business since the holidays has been
good. Roses are on the short side, but
carnations are plentiful. Paper Whites,
hyacinths, etc., are in good suj)ply and
help out in funeral work. The weatlier
since Christmas has been favorable for
plant and cut flower pro<1uctinn.

Various Notes.

Julius Nicdnagcl & Sons have been
busy with funeral work. They continue
to have good cuts of carnations; also a
good supply of Paper "Whites and
Konians.

At the store of the Blackman Floral
Co. all hands have been occupied. Fu-
neral work is ]»lentifu]. At the green-
houses the carnations are doing linely
land the roses soon will be in good crop
again. Since the death of the grower,
John Tate, Edward Blackman has had
his hands full. He has large batches of
rose and carnation cuttings in the sand.

Karl Zeidler has been having much
f nr eral work. He has plenty of carna-
tions and roses for his needs. A few
benches containing lettuce, which is
about ready to cut, will be filled with
spring stock.

E. L. Fenton has launched a new
business. Ke is making square, wood

DETROIT, MICH.

B. Schroeter recently added a hand-
some car to his delivery system. Mr.
Schroeter 's Christmas and New Year's
business was considerably in excess of
last year's, despite the fact that he
did not have his usual stock of azaleas.

To make up in a way for his lack of
azaleas, Charles H. Plumb had for the
holidays the most wonderful lot of be-
gonias ever seen in these parts.

Hugo Schroeter is highly elated over
business in general and especially his
Christmas and New Year's business.
As a fitting climax to his year's busi-
ness, he had the decorations for a large
New Year's dancing party.

John B. Dinser is already sending to
the stores some well grown tulips, in
pots and cut, in three colors. They find
a ready sale.

Albert J. Stahelin is on the market
again with some peas that sell at sight
and at a fancy price.

Sullivan's new store is, without
doubt, the most practical, if not the
most elaborate, in this city. The front
is so constructed as to give the passer-
by a full view of the entire store clear
into the icebox, which is set crosswise,
about forty feet back from the front.

With paper, boxes, tape, etc., sky
high, many retailers are keeping down
expenses by not using quite so much
fancy paper trimmings inside the boxes.
The customers are really in sympathy
with this movement, as they are all
aware of the additional expense, and
the writer has found that many boxes
can be saved by asking a customer if
he wishes his order done up in paper
or if a box is preferred. Many say
paper will do just as well. Of course,
when an order is delivered, then boxes
should be used, except where the order
is unusually small. H. S.

Creenhonse Heating.

RELATIVE HEIGHT OF PIPES.

I should like to get a little advice on
heating. I have a hot water boiler, rated
at 1,300 square feet. At present it is
heating about 600 feet of 2-inch pipe. I
wish to know whether the boiler would
heat my new house satisfactorily if
the flow pipe is about two feet lower
than in the older house, where the pipes
are on the posts. In the new house I
wish to place all the pipes under the
benches. This would cause the pipes
to be about one foot lower than the low-
est return in the old house and about
two feet lower than the flow pipe. The
boiler shed is between the two houses,
which run east and west. As the flows
are all tapped, could I place tees on
them, so as to get more branches?

A. L.— Mo.

So many things have to be taken into
account when considering a question
like the foregoing that it is not pos-
sible to give a definite answer. About
the only fact relating to the heating
system that is stated is the capacity of
the boiler, which should readily handle
three times the present radiating sur-
face. While we are informed that the
flow pipe in one house is two feet lower
than in the other, and that there will
be a difference of one foot or more in
the height of the returns, nothing is
said regarding the height of the differ-
ent pipes above the boiler, upon which
the whole matter largely depends.

In a general way, we will say that if
the lowest part of the returns in the
house to be heated is two feet above the
top of the boiler, there will be no diffi-
culty in securing a good circulation in
all of the pipes, although it may be nec-
essary to have a valve upon either the
main flow or the main return pipe in
the other house, in order to regulate the
circulation of the water and secure a
uniform temperature in the two houses.
This will be more difficult if the returns
in one house arc one foot below the top
of the boiler while they are one foot
above the Imiler in the other house,
since the better circulation will be in
the higher returns, especially when the
lower ones are below the top of the

boiler, but even then the circulation can
he regulated to a large extent by means
of valves on the higher pipes.

If the flows are sufficiently large,
other pipes may be added if needed, but
we would not care to furnish more than
200 square feet of radiation with a
2 inch flow, 400 square feet with a 2^^-
inch flow or 750 square feet with a
3-inch flow pipe, unless more than four
feet above the boiler.

A SASH HOUSE.

Would it be presuming too much to
ask you to give me a detailed descrip-
tion and plan of a sash house in which
to put geraniums a little later? I wish
to build one about sixty feet long. What
would be the best width for 3x6 sashes?
What would be the proper height of the
walls, without glass in the sides? Could
the house ])e built and heated in such a
wav that there would be no need for

benches, so that I could. plant chrysan-
themums to follow geraniums? Could
the pipes be hung on the posts, with
the mums in the beds, and a path ex-
cavated to any depth needed?

What would be the best way to pipe
this sash house and how much 2-inch
pipe would be needed for 50 degrees in
zero weather? I have some 1^-inch
pipe; could it be used with success in
a house of this size? I wish to do away
with the benches if I can; if not, I will
build them. The soil is a sandy loam,
through which the water drains away
readily. Any information will be
greatly appreciated.

For such a house as the one described,
we would set two rows of posts so that
they can be used to support the walls
of a house measuring ten and one-half
feet wide outside, and would construct

below the surface. If lumber is cheap
a board wall might be built to line the
walks, but if the house is intended for

92

permanent use a concrete wall will be
cheaper in the end.

Just how high the greenhouse walls
should be made will depend upon the
uses to which the house is to be put. For
geraniums and ordinary bedding plants
it need not be more than two feet, but
for single-stem chrysanthemum plants,
grown in the beds, it should not be less
than four feet. Two to three feet would
answer for ordinary mums in pots.

Cut off the plates at the same angle
as the slope of the roof and use a plate
2x6 inches, with the outer edge one inch
outside the siding. Use a strip 1x6
inches for the ridge and place 2x3-inch
rafters so that they will come under the
edges of the sashes. Every third sash
should be hinged at the lower end and
hand lifters should be provided. The
cracks between the sashes should be
battened to keep out the rain and pre-
vent the loss of heat.

If possible, the hot water heater
should be sunk below the bottom of the
walk. For a temperature of 50 degrees
we would run a 2-inch flow upon each
plate and connect each flow with two
114-inch returns carried on the sides
of the walks. If the walls are more
than two feet in height, we would carry
the returns on the wall posts and use
an additional return upon each wall.
Run all pipes downhill and connect
the highest point in each flow pipe with
the expansion tank.

LINCOLN, NEB.

The Nebraska State Florists' Society
will hold its annual meeting in Lincoln,
Tuesdav, Januarv 16, at the Lindell
hotel.

President Ed Williams, of Grand Is-
land, says to non-members: "We have
started something out here that you are
interested in, and we earnestly hope
that you can cooperate with us. Follow-
ing our regular program, in conjunction
with the State Horticultural Society,
we will have a tri-state session for Ne-
braska, Iowa and Missouri — a get-to-
gether meeting. We will have repre-
sentatives from each state express views
dealing with cost of production, credits,
compensation, etc. We, as florists, have
advanced along the line of producing,
but we have failed in the getting of
proper returns. Our discounts are larger
than on any other legitimate business.
Many subjects, too numerous to men-
tion, will be discussed for the benefit
of those present."

A banquet will follow the meeting.

The Florists' Review

January 11, 1917.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The market is heavily supplied with
all kinds of stock. Eeceipts are so
heavy that it is impossible to clean up
anything readily, and prices have taken
a decided drop. Eoses are extremely
plentiful and excellent blooms may be
had in quantity, in all seasonable varie-
ties. Carnations, too, are plentiful.
Easter lilies are in heavy supply and
sweet peas are becoming more abun-
dant. The butterfly varieties have been
selling well. Valley and orchid receipts
are able to take care of present de-
mands. Violets are in 'fair supply.
Paper "White narcissi are coming into
the market in good quantities and their
prices have dropped to the rock-bottom
level. Other offerings are snapdragons,
callas, rubrums, calendulas, primroses,
wallflowers and forget-me-nots. Greens
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell has been finding a
good market for his sweet peas.

Samuel Batson, of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
shipped the first of his primroses, wall-
flowers and forget-me-nots to L. H.
Kyrk a fortnight ago.

David E. "Wooley, who represents P. J.
Olinger, left this week on an extended
trip through Ohio and Indiana.

The Bloomhurst Floral Co., of Lock-
land, is cutting some excellent carna-
tions. 0. H. H.

DAVENPORT, B. ISLAND, MOLINE.

The Markets.

Now that some of the figures are
available, the holiday business is re-
ported as being in excess of that of
any former year.

Trade last week was good. Stock of
all kinds is plentiful and prices are
lower. Some fine Beauties and Eussell
roses are offered; Ophelia is a little on
the short side, but other roses are in
good supply. Carnations are in abun-
dance, also lilies, sweet peas. Paper
Whites, violets, etc. Cyclamen and
primrose plants are plenteous.

Various Notes.

Miss Tearney, of the Bills Floral Co.,
had a fine window display of azaleas,
cyclamens and ferns. She reports the
sale of approximately 600 cyclamen
plants at Christmas.

Forber & Bird say business is better
than that of other years. They have
added canary birds as a side line. Last
week they offered Golden Spur narcissi,
the first seen here so far.

Miss M. Woltman reports business
good, with cyclamens the best sellers in
potted plants.

Julius Staack & Sons had a big holi-
day trade, disposing of 2,800 roses and
8,000 carnations, in addition to a big
sale of other items. W. G.

The following is an extract from a

"The Skinner System is highly
valuable in transplanting carnations
from the field to the greenhouse.
After watering them the night before,
the soil was in ideal condition so that
we could dig the plants up with every
root intact. The plants were strong
and started right oflf growing. They
have done better than any lot of

The Advertisers' Column

FLOWEE POTS.

A. H. Hews & Co., Inc., of Cambridge,
Mass., the oldest and largest manufac-
turers of flower pots in the world, an-
nounce that for the year 1916 their
product and sales have been the largest
in the history of the company. Coinci-
dent with this condition, extraordinary
increased costs of labor and material
have been most discouraging and neces-
sitated some increases in selling prices.

They have recently tiiscontinued their
jobbing business in glassware, wooden-
ware, crockery and other householdware
lines, to devote their entire interests
to their flower pot manufacturing in-
dustry, and have taken steps to increase
their capacity by addipg new machines,
kilns and drying rooms on the property
that was devoted to storage for their
jobbing business.

Several customers throughout the
country have suffered by delays in ship-
ments and transportation during recent
months owing to phenomenal demands,
but it is now believed the Hews com-
pany is sufficiently equipped to take
care of all demands hereafter. Owing
to congestion of requirements of com-
mercial florists coming periodically
twice a year, it is always urged to place
orders for shipment far in advance to
assure pots being on hand when wanted.
Many florists overlook this and suffer
delay because it is a physical impossi-
bility for any factory to ship every
order within a two months' period in
spring and fall.

It is interesting to learn that the
Hews company used 8,843 tons of clay,
1,653 tons of coal, and employed an
average of ninety -five men for their sole
industry of manufacturing flower pots
during the last j'ear.

The Hews company are members of
the Association of Centenary Firms &
Corporations of the United States and
rank eleventh in list of fifty-eight mem-
bers. J. B. Hall, Gen. Mgr.

This is not the time to build greenhouses, but It is a good time to think about it. Dietsch construction has
stood the test of years. Not only are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each
house an improvement over the last. Our construction is advancing with the times. We advocate nothing
that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than we are now building, and they will be built
by us.

It will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construction.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Business has quieted a little since the
holidays, but prices still hold up and
will continue to do so as long as the
present dark weather lasts. During the
last week it has been unusually dark for
this time of year, and roses, carnations
and violets are scarce and high.

Various Notes.

Frank L. Gray has left the employ
of the Peckham Floral Co., of Fair-
haven, to take a position in Providence,
R. I.

William E. Mosher reports business
good.

Edward M. Pierce is cutting some
splendid flowers of Calendula Orange
King. He also is picking pansies and
sweet peas in quantity. Freesias will
be ready in about a week or ten days.

The Peckham Floral Co., of Fair-
haven, has about 17,000 geraniums
potted and will have about as many
more when rooted.

The New Bedford Horticultural So-
ciety held its regular meeting January
8, in the Public Library building. Elec-
tion of officers for the ensuing year was
held.

A recent visit to the establishment
of S. E. Shaw found everything in first-
class condition. The carnations and
sweet peas look remarkably well. Mr.
Shaw picked a heavy crop of violets
for Christmas. A large new boiler has
been added to the heating system.

CTPBESS IIDLES BEST

If you would have the whole greenhouse job standard— uniform throughout— you must put cypress shingles on
the boiler room. And for the barn and other buildings about the place, nothing else will do the business and con-
tinue to do it, year after year, like cypress shingles.

REMEMBER that every endurance record in the history of shingles was made by cypress shingles.

Read from the report of the U. S. Gov't, in Bulletin No. 95, Forest Service, Department of Agriculture:

A shingle roof on a house at Greenwich, Conn., was said to have lasted 250 years ; another, in Brook-
lyn, N. Y., was reported to have lasted 228 years, and still another, at Clifton. Staten Island, was slill
doing business after 200 years of continuous service. Cypress shingle roofs at New Orleans, La., that are
100 years old are no curiosity— plenty of them.

There is no discount on a cypress shingle roof.

come complete January 30, 1917. The
following is a description:

The plant is tall, most striking and attractive.
Its massive proportions, hrond, lieavy foliage of
a rich green, erect and vigorous habit of growth,
give evidence of a strong constitution. Tlie
shading to niadder-liikn except the Inst segment,
flowers are largo. The color is a bright rose,
whicli lias a chamois-yellow base. Anthers vio-
let; styles white. Unsurpassed as a keeper.

WHITE FLY AND MEALY BUG.

AVliat can \vc use to kill Avhite fly in
our plant house? On our colous plants,
also, there is an insect which looks like
a large white aphis. What can we use
to kill it? W. H. G.— O.

For tlie white fly use one pint of some
reliable brand of forty per cent nicotine
solution in scAenty-five gallons of water,
adding three or four pounds of fish oil
or laundry soap. Apply this when the
morning temperature has been allowed
to drop to 50 degrees. Use a fine nozzle.
After thoroughly spraying one of the
beds, go over it again at once, thus
reaching any of tlie insects AA'hich were
not touched by the first ajiplication. The
second spraying will generally be more
effectiAe than the first one, as the in-
sects on the under side of the leaves
will have been disturbed by the first
spraying and many of them Avill now be
found on the upper side of the leaves.

The insect on the coleus is most likely
the mealy bug. For destroying this in-
sect the same remedy should be used as
for the white fly, but an angle nozzle
will be desirable, since the insects are
generally on the under side of the leaA'es
or clustered at the nodes of the stems.
When large plants are badly infested, it
is a good plan to dip the tops of the
plants in the solution, as it is diflSeult
to reach the insects with a spray. T.

Yes — your chimney is a big thing

^■smmm

■■•••■■••••■■■»•

Chimney of Chas. Steidle, Olivette, Mo.

—it's so big and plays such an important
part in your business that a mistake in its
construction may turn the scale from suc-
cess to failure.

— if s so big you can't build a new one with
every change of the moon. What's more,
it generally stands for many years as a mon-
ument to either your good judgment or
your folly.

Don't forget that your chimney is just as great a factor as your
boiler, and just as much a part of your heating system. You
wouldn't think of building a garage too small for your automo-
bile, would you? Well, it wouldn't be a bit more foolish than
to build a chimney too small for your boiler. Remember, if
your chimney is the right size, it makes your boiler do all the
work it's intended to do. Then, and not till then, you get your
money's worth. AGMCO chimney blocks are made of tested
clays, properly burned. They are made to suit the circular and
radial lines of each part of the chimney. This produces a reg-
ular, smooth surface, with even joints. Then, too, they are
larger than common bricks, making the number of mortar joints
in the AGMCO chimney one-third of those in a common brick
chimney of the same size.

Every AGMCO chimney is built to resist the heat strains as well as the
strains from weight and wind.

Every AGMCO chimney is guaranteed to stand against a wind pressure of
100 miles an hour.

Every AGMCO chimney is guaranteed against defects for a period of five years.

Every AGMCO chimney has a detached flue at the point of smoke entrance.

Every AGMCO chimney is re-enforced with steel.

Don't wait until you're dead. Build a monument to
yourself and your good judgment while you are yet alive.

There is only one safe

time to do anything—

that's today.

Why Is Evans' Line in Demand?

John A. Evans Co., Richmond, Ind. Waco, Tex., Dec. 11, 1916.

Dear Sirs : There is not a bit of use of your asking for a letter from me regarding
your ventilating'machines. 1 have used them now for twenty years. In no way could they
be excelled, as otherwise I would not have given you an additional order.
My only regret is that I am unable to enlarge my plant in order that you
could furnish the machines. There is no appreciation necessary, and any-
thing that I could do for the old Century, aside from the Double-acting Cen-
tury, I am only too willing to do to reciprocate for its services.

Yours truly, Wolfe the Florist (T.J.Wolfe).

P. S. — My kindest personal regards to Mr. John A. Evans.

The Florists^ Review

Januauy 18. 1917.

This truss joining plate holds the
four truss members rijfidly in ex-
act place. The two bolts prevent
any twisting or turning.

The gable purlins are fastened to the gable

rafters by double angle knees with double

purlin bolts.

tiVri^^'^'^^O'^'" "Give-and-take," "Come-and-go," call it what you will,
V it's the very thing you don't want in your greenhouse.

With it your glass loosens.

Without it, it doesn't.

We build the house that doesn't.

The 2-bolt method is one reason why. You can't make a framing joint of
two or more members, and make that joint rigid by using only one bolt on
each side of the joint. No matter how tight you screw it up, there will be
some "give."

"Gives" never grow less.

We are dead against "Gives."

Every important framing joint or connection on our Iron Frame house
has two bolts on at least one side —sometimes on both. Making twice the
number of bolt holes costs money.

Using twice the number of bolts costs more money.
Which would you rather do, pay less money for less bolt holes and
bolts and have loosened glass, or pay more and have your glass stay tight?

Our stay-tight way may cost a bit more to start with, but a lot less to
end with.

The cost of a house is not just what it costs to buy. But what It costs
to buy, in addition to what it costs to keep it bought.

Ever think of it just that way?

When you are ready to talk building, say when and where, and we'll be there.

ASTER
PINK ENCHANTRESS

Upright In habit, as distinguished
from the Branching form. The plant
is very vigorous, and produces long,
strong stems for the support of num-
erous large exhibition blooms. The
.flower is always full double; petals
are of medium length and very broad;
those toward the center fold in very
regularly, while gradually, toward the
outer edge, the petals stand out more
and more until those on the outside
recede from the center, thus increas-
ing the diameter of the flower, which
compares very favorably In size with
the largest-flowering kinds on our
farm. Color similar to that of the
Enchantress carnation; flowers late.
Pkt., 15c; H oz., 50c; % oz., $1.00;
oz., $3.00.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,

ACCEPT "8UPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY

For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS

EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS

C. E. Critchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superlora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or became moldy, and that
every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into consideration,
they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."

The McCallum Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to induce us to stoclt up their goods 'just as
Kood as Dux's" at a cheaper price, but we have in each instance told
them franlcly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not thlnli their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not talce a chance of losing it; in fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' " . . „ „

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Plttsborgh, Pa., writes: "Your
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
liandled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it Is a very
satisfactory leaf Indeed."

Jos. G. Neldlnger Co., of Philadelphia. Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."

The Montreal FlortJ Exchange, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has increased with you this year over double of whiat we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and Iceeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the Integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterized all your dealings with us."

Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."

Job. E. Koppelman, of Providence, B. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy otlier
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."

New England Flotlst Supply Co., of Boston, Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superlora' Magrnollas the best leaves on the marltet. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."

Wm. F. Kasting Co.. of BnlTalo, N. T., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superlora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
In tlie last few years."

B. E. and J. T. Cokely, of Srranton, Penn., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc."

"SUFERIORA

The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
in stoclc."

N. F, McCaMhy and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: ". . . it
is the opinion of McCarthy and Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf tiiat has yet been offered in the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."

Henry M. Robinson and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it Is a pleasure to offer such
stoclc for sale, etc."

Reed and Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acitnowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,
and we are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
quicltly, etc."

The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superlora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."

Smith and Young, of Indianapolis, Ind., write: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superlora' exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf in the market. Since we handle 'Superlora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
". . . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superlora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."

Geo. H. Angermneller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superlora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."

Oscar Lelstner, of Chicago, III., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the

fact that the leaves are 'oft-color' as well as mouldy, etc.

BRAND MAGNOLIA LKAVKS ARE SOLD BY EVERY WHOLESALE FLORIST

New Red Rose

Donald MacPonald |

A new HAWLMARK Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson & Sons |

We have tested this rose for winter forcing for two years, and E

with us it produces more red roses during the winter than any rose =

we have ever grown. It is not a large rose, but has perfectly S

formed, medium-sized flowers that sell at sight. Color bright E

orange-carmine ; will not turn blue, because the base of the petals E

is orange. It is not a summer rose, as it has the same substance S

as Killarney. We build the plants up until November, and from E

Thanksgiving until May it is a money-maker for the Rose Grower, =

as no pinching is necessary. E

,y^m THE ^v,

CAN AMERICA GROW

ITS OWN AZALEAS?

Tliis subject is of special interest to all florists who have suffered loss
or inconvenience through the war's interference with the shipments of Bel-
gian azaleas. Experience, in the grim form of Mars, has shown how de-
pendent we are on Europe for many of our supplies. Is it necessary to
continue importing azaleas?

HE florists of the world
have so long looked to the
justly celebrated azalea
growers of Ghent, Belgium,
as the exclusive source of
the world's supply of that
useful plant, that I hesi-
tate to tell what I have
learned of azalea culture
since I began my work at
this establi-shment in this most favorable
locality, fearing my opinions may not
meet with the most cordial reception
from many old handlers of the Belgian-
grown stock.

First let me say that the climatic con-
ditions at Eureka are the same as at
Ghent, so far as atmospheric moisture
is concerned. The abundant rainfall
occurs from December to July, and dur-
ing the summer months heavy fogs sweep
in nightly from the mild Japan current,
only a mile distant from our azalea
houses, bathing the foliage with cooling
dews, conducive to vigorous growth of
all evergreens, coniferous or broad-
leaved.

I find the culture of
the Indian azalea at
Eureka, and the great
possibilities of its fu-
ture commercial devel-
opment, especially in-
teresting to one -who
has had to do with aza-
lea culture in all its
phases for about twen-
ty years, both at Ghent
and at Robert Craig's
establishment in Phila-
delphia, where I spent
SIX years forcing Bel-
gian-grown azaleas. To
those who may doubt
my statements it may
be well to say: Azalea
culture is now fully es-
tablished on a commer-
cial scale at Eureka;
that may as well be ac-
cepted as a fact, estab-
lished beyond question.

By GUSTAVE VANDEN ABEELE
Cottage Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, Cal.

Not less than 180,000 plants, many im-
ported, but the greater percentage prop-
agated on the place, are now growing
in the Eden Nursery.

The decidedly moist atmosphere,
which persists continuously; the plenti-
ful supply of pure rain water; the inex-
haustible quantities of cheap leaf-mold
and peat; the cheap and easily obtained
supplies of cow manure and pure, sharp
sand, all combine to render possible the
successful production of azaleas in a
wholesale way at a cost that will not be
considered a moment by the American
azalea forcer, once he l)ecomes familiar
with the quality of the Eureka-grown
stock, and the ease and certainty of its
early forcing.

Advantage of Early Budding.

In the first place, the Eureka climate
is conducive to early budding and early
bud maturity. Under ordinary condi-
tions in Belgium, azaleas commence bud-

ding about August 15; in Eureka the
budding commences about July 1, or
nearly six weeks earlier. This insures a
long season for budding, and thor-
ough, full development and maturity
of the buds before shipment. In con-
sequence of this early bud maturity,
many late-flowering kinds, such as Chi-
cago, De Scliryveriana and others, are
as easily forced for early Christmas
blooming as Mme. Petrick, Simon Mard-
ner or Vervseneana.

These facts ate exceedingly valuable
from a commercial standpoint, and will
certainly cause a strong preference for
Eureka-grown stock for early forcing.
While the Belgian shipping season
starts about September 15, the Eureka
season will start not later than Septem-
ber 1 and all stock will be in the hands
of the forcers by October 1, at the most
distant point from Eureka. As all azalea
shipments across the continent will be
made in refrigerator cars, hobling the
j)lants absolutely in a cool, even tem-
perature, the uncertainty as to receiving
the stock in proper condition will be en-
tirely removed.

Owing to the full maturity and ad-
vanced condition of
the Eureka-grown buds,
little heat is required
to bring the plants
into full bloom for
Christmas. They can
be brought along
slowly at a temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees,
maximum, which means
larger blooms, of great
substance and endur-
ance, and brighter
colors.

A Successful Test,

Our present season's
test consisted of put-
ting 100 plants in 55
degrees of heat, Novem-
ber 1. By December 1
Mme. Romaine de Smet,
Mme. Eckhaute, Mme.
Petrick, Simon Mard-
ner and the other, ear-
lier sorts were in full
bloom. Two weeks later
Chicago, De Schryveri-
ana and the later kinds
were fully developed.
This means a welcome
increase in the list of
varieties for Christmas
forcing.

and the great blocks of slat houses now
going up at the Eden Nursery, with the
hundreds of thousands of stock cuttings
now in full, healthful growth, seem to me
to be an assurance of an immense in-
crease in the demand for American-
grown Indian azaleas in the near future.
The cultural methods at Eureka are

practically the same as at Ghent. Leaf-
mold and plenty of it; pure rain water
in abundance; an even growing tempera-
ture; a rigid selection of grafting stocks
and vigorous scions, and a steady, vig-
orous, healthful growth from graft to
fully budded plant finished for ship-
ment, are the essentials.

THE CHICAGO PLAN

>ffiy^ffi?^ffly^tff;^Byrti>TTtitTrti>7Ttit^^

FLOWERS FOR VALENTINES.

How All Florists Can Help.

The publicity plan of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club, announced in these columns
last week, has developed rapidly under
the direction of Chairman F. Lauten-
Bchlager and has become national in its
scope.

The Chicago Florists' Club now in-
vites organizations of florists everywhere
to join with it in its St. Valentine's day
advertising. The plan of the Chicago
committee is as follows:

A heart-shaped red stamp, 2x2^4
inches, has been designed for the use of
florists who can reach the public. The
idea is to put one of these bright red
stamps on everything that goes out of
the store during the early days of Feb-
ruary. The stamp should be on every
statement that is mailed February 1. It
should be on every parcel that is deliv-
ered. It should be on every piece of ad-
vertising matter. In addition, a large
sized reproduction has been made, ly^x
7% inches, to be used on store windows
and in the store. Both the stamp and
poster are gummed and ready for use.

The wording is, "Let Your Valentine
Be Flowers; Leave Your Order Now."

The More the Merrier.

This plan of advertising could not by
any possibility be otherwise than good.
If one florist uses it, it will be good for
that one florist; If ten florists use it, it
will be ten times better, and the further
the plan can be carried the better it
will be for the trade as a whole. It is
reaching the flower buyers in the right
way. The suggestion ' ' Let your valen-
tine be flowers" is psychologically cor-
rect. It is a plan for increasing the
use of flowers for a special purpose. It
is an effort by the retail end of the busi-
ness to help that end of the business,

but it deserves the encouragement of all
.others in the trade for the reason that an
increased demand at retail will be felt
throughout trade channels.

Codperation Desirable.

If only one florist in a community uses
the Chicago stamps it will be good for
that florist, but it will not make a ripple
in the trade in a big city. To get good
action a considerable number of florists

■^2^ *-4^Y //**'■-''' ' '^

The Chicago Club's Valentine's Stamp.

should use them. It already is assured
that several of Chicago's largest florists
will help the work along and the com-
mittee in charge wants to put the thing
through in a number of other cities. It
is urged that where there is no florists'
club to take action, or no time for action,
individual florists get together, pool
their orders and take advantage of the
low prices that are to be obtained by or-
dering the stamps in quantity. As with

everything else in the line, the greater

the quantity produced, the cheaper it is

possible to make the prices.

The committee will deliver the stamps

at these prices:

100 stamps | 0.76

500-stampB 8.00

1,000 stamps 6.00

2,000 stamps 0.00

6,000 stamps 20.00

10,000 stamps 36.00

15,000 stamps 60.00

25,000 stamps 70.00

50,000 stamps 126.00

100,000 stamps 200.00

500,000 stamps 600.00

1,000,000 stamps 800.00

The posters are 5 cents each, or 50
cents per dozen.

F. Lautenschlager, 444 West Erie
street, Chicago, is in charge for the
Florists' Club. He will fill orders or
answer inquiries.

In the Future.

If it develops that sufficient quantities
of the stamps can be sold to reimburse
the club for the $100 appropriated for
the use of the committee, a similar ef-
fort will be made for the next special
flower day. Any profits which may re-
sult are to be used for future publicity
work. No one is to get an individual
profit except the profit which is to come
from the increase in sales that will come
with a first-class success.

COST ACCOUNTING IS VITAL.

[The following Is an extract from an address
by Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, at Chicago January 14, x817.]

We are a new country and a few years
ago we did not have the keen compe-
tition that we now have and the neces-
sity for watching the new details of our
business was not required. But, gentle-
men, the days for "happy-go-lucky'*
business methods are past. We now
have keen competition and we must real-
ize that we are going to have even
keener competition.

It is recognized that a business man
must be concerned not only with the ci-
ficiency of his own business but ;'th
the efficiency of his competitor's busi-
ness, and realize that unhealthiness any-
where in his industry will react seriously
on him.

Ignorance a Menace to All.

It is a fact well understood among
business men that the general demorali-
zation in a large number of industries
has been caused by firms who cut prices
not knowing what their goods actually
cost. The cost of selling, which is
equally important, often is almost lost
sight of.

Are those who are cutting prices right
and left, irrespective of their costs, fair

to themselves, their customers, or their
competitors?

Quality and service are becoming
greater factors in the field of merchan-
dising. Long after the price of a prod-
uct is forgotten the quality is remem-
bered.

The man who does not know his true
costs is the man who prices his goods
foolishly and thereby impairs the busi-
ness of his sound competitors at the same
time that he ruins his own.

Please understand me, the menace is
not in underselling, for a business con-
cern must expect to face the low prices
that are due to eflSciency. But even the
most eflScient concern is not always able
to meet cut-throat prices based on ig-
norance.

A Hint for the S. A. F.

The Federal Trade Commission has
urged upon business men the importance
of installing adequate cost accounting
systems. "We have sent out to the busi-
ness men of the country, both manufac-
turers and retail merchants, approxi-
mately 350,000 cost accounting pamph-
lets, and thousands of letters have been
received in reply commending the com-
mission for this work. \Ve have,
through our expert accountants, co-
operated with trade associations whicli
are endeavoring to work out uniform
and adequate cost accounting systems
for their entire industry. Each particu-
lar industry must work out its own plan,
and in its own way. When the men in
a given industry, however, have found
a system that is uniform and satisfac-
tory to them, and this system is pre-
sented to the Federal Trade Commission,
the commission will consider the plan
carefully and if it is sound will approve
it as the standard system for that par-
ticular industry.

Making a Statement.

Supplemental to our cost accounting
work, we have asked the Institute of
Public Accountants to draw up a set of
rules which will govern the making out
of certified statements as well as guide
all accountants and auditors in the mak-
ing up of balance sheets. Our hope is
to reach some uniform basis for the han-
dling of depreciation and other items so
that balance sheets upon which bankers
base their credit risks will be sound and
reveal the true state of the business
upon which they are based. It has de-
veloped that, even in the case of reports
made by certified public accountants, the
reported values of assets are frequently
misleading, because depreciations have
not been propcrlv allowed for, and no

statement made in the report from
which the bank, using it as a basis of
credit, can form any correct idea of the
value of the plant as a going concern, or
its value as an asset in case of the fail-
ure of the owner.

I predict that within five years there
will be little money loaned by any
banker in the United States to anyone
who does not present a statement show-
ing detailed information not only re-
garding his true assets and liabilities,
hut also indicating that he is conduct-
ing his business in an efficient manner
and that he absolutely knows his true
costs.

BEFORE AND AFTEB.

The accompanying illustrations are
interesting as affording two examples
of the resourcefulness of certain of the
younger men in the business. The
scenes are on the property of George
E. M. Stumpp, the New York retailer,
at Southampton, L. I. When this old
home, with its acre and more of ground,
came into the possession of this ener-
getic young man it showed the neglect
it had received. Today it shows the
care of one who knows how. The out-
doors has been transformed, and no
loss has the mansion. The house is
said to have been 115 years of age when
Mr. Stumpp acquired it — you will ad-
mit it looked it. Today it looks like
a modern residence in the colonial
style. The window boxes are a feature.
On the lawn there are many novelties
in plant and aquatic life.

But the transformation of the resi-

dence and grounds is not all Mr.
Stumpp has accomplished. Southamp*
ton is a community of the summer
homes of prosperous city people; it af-
forded an opening for a business that
would be best at the time the activity
at the Fifth avenue store is at its low-
est ebb. So Mr. Stumpp built a some-
what unusual structure, 50x75 feet,
shown in another of the illustrations,
where there now is a highly profitable
summer business. The formal rose
garden adjoining the store calls many
visitors during the blooming season.

COTTAGE GABDENS CHANGES.

Charles Willis Ward, founder and ma-
jority owner of the Cottage Gardens
Co., of Queens, Long Island, N. Y., has
sold the majority of his holding of stock
in that corporation to his son, David S.
Ward, who will succeed his father as
majority owner and president of the
company.

The new president, David S. Ward, has
for the last three years occupied the
position of superintendent of the green-
house department.

R. T. Brown, vice-president and gen-
eral manager for the last fourteen years
at Queens, will probably remove to Cali-
fornia to assist Mr. Ward in completing
the organization of the Cottage Gardens
Nurseries at Eureka.

W. D. Eraser, formerly with the Lilly
Co., of Seattle, Wash., and the Luther
Burbank Co., of Santa Rosa, Cal., is
slated to take 'Mr. Brown's place at

Jandary 18, 1917.

THE COAL CRISIS COMES

EMBARGO ON SMOKELESS COAL.

Bailroad Stops Western Shipments.

This has been the coldest week of the
winter in the central states and it has
brought the crisis in coal, of which there
have been so many forebodings.

The most serious event of the week
has been the imposition of an embargo
on coal shipments by the Norfolk &
Western railroad. This is the road which
brings out of West Virginia nearly all
of the smokeless coal used in the green-
house establishments in the cities of the
central states. January 13 it imposed an
embargo on shipments for points west of
Columbus, O., the reason assigned being
that the railroads connecting at that
point were not able to move the freight
west and that a congestion had occurred.
It was stated that the embargo would be
raised as soon as the congestion is re-
lieved, but for several days no coal for
growers west of Columbus has been ac-
cepted from the mines.

Coal Like Molasses in Januaxy.

The movement of coal cars always is
slowest at this time of year. Snow and
zero temperature present the worst possi-
ble conditions for railroading and grow-
ers are accustomed to irregularity in de-
liveries during such weather as has pre-
vailed in the central states for the last
few days. The great trouble this year
is that with rare exceptions everyone is
getting along on the hand-to-mouth
basis. There are a few forehanded grow-
ers who had their bunkers full of fuel
before the autumn squeeze, and who
have been able to secure sufficient de-
liveries so that the reserve stock still is
untouched, but in most cases suppliers
have known which florists had reserve
stock and have diverted deliveries to
the point that reserve stocks necessarily
have been consumed, so that nearly ail
growers are dependent on the more or
less daily deliveries to keep from freez-
ing up.

While no serious losses have been re-
ported, every florist knows of a dozen
others who do not have coal enough to
run them another twenty-four hours un-
less they get deliveries.

Spot Prices.

During the mild weather of early Jan-
uary the spot market weakened a little;
consumption was lighter and cars were
moving at an unusual rate. But with
the return of zero the spot market has
taken another jump. Large numbers of
buyers who heretofore have obtained de-
liveries on their contracts have been
forced into the market during the last
week and the result has been that prices
this week are the highest yet known.
They vary widely, in accordance with
the estimated desirability of the prospec-
tive customer.

Passing the Buck.

While the situation is the most serious
that ever confronted the greenhouse
trade and the general public, there is
time for acrimonious debate as to the re-
sponsibility for it. The coal man places
it upon the railroads, but the railroads

promptly pass it back to the coal trade,
asserting that custom in the fuel busi-
ness is responsible for the present burden
on consumers. The railroads point out
that their yards are congested with cars
loaded with coal that are bandied back
and forth among brokers under the re-
consignment plan that has become cus-
tom in the coal trade. It is asserted that
the reconsignment privilege has been
employed all season to hold shipments
off the market and thereby raise the
price.

Growers Are Paying the Price.

A few of the large producers selling
direct to consumers still are making de-
liveries at the contract figure. The
writer of this article has within the last
few days seen the invoices of two of
the large West Virginia producers who
are delivering coal to growers at $1.50
per ton f. o. b. the mines, although the
same coal could be sold at considerably
more than twice that figure on the open
market. These producers assert that
they are sending no coal to the open
market, but are delivering their entire
output to contract customers.

But in the majority of cases one rea-

son or another has been found for rais-
ing the price to contract customers. In
one case it was impossible to get cars
for delivery of the contract coal, but
another and inferior kind of coal could
be delivered at a somewhat higher price.
In another case the quality deteriorated
until the buyer asked that deliveries be
stopped. In some cases the seller has
stated plainly that he would raise the
price or quit. One way or another, near-
ly every florist now is paying hitherto
unheard of prices for his coal. Those
who pay promptly are being taken care
of below market quotations, but they
nevertheless fail to get fuel at contract
rates.

Next Season's Prices.

Difficult as is the present situation,
thought is turning to contracts for next
season. The matter is up for attention
earlier this year for two reasons. Dur-
ing the dull years just passed the prac-
tice of contracting was largely aban-
doned and reliance placed on the open
market. The reaction naturally is
toward greater numbers than ever be-
fore contracting for next season. Also,
in other lines of business contracts are
being made earlier than usual and grow-
ers fear that the output of mines may be
placed under contract before their own
greenhouse interests are taken care of.
Inquiries as to contracts for next year
indicate that the producers are not inter-
ested except at prices rather more than a
dollar a ton higher than the contract
prices for this season.

MOLES AND MEN

TO EXTERMINATE MOLES.

I read the letter of F. W. & C, in The
Eeview of December 28, stating that
they are troubled with moles in their
sweet pea beds. Some years ago I was
annoyed by moles just as F. W. & C.
are and I tried almost every known
remedy, but without avail. Then one of
my employees, an old man from Holland,
told me that if I would procure some
salt fish he would rid the place of the
moles. Surely enough, in less than two
weeks not a trace of the pests could be
seen. He dug holes in the runs, dropped
into them pieces of the fish about the
size of a walnut and then closed the
holes. He told me to repeat the dose
if any of the moles returned. I spread
the good news to my neighbors and they
also have freed their places of moles by
following the same method. The old
man explained the operation of the rem-
edy by stating that the moles love fish
and the salt kills them. Whether that
is the right theory or not, the plan
worked well for me and may do so for
others. W. M. Coleman.

MOSS'S MENAGERIE.

Eecently I noticed several inquiries
in The Eeview as to how to get rid of
moles in the greenhouse. I have often
wondered in what way moles are de-
structive.

I have been using solid beds for about
five years and they have been and are
full of moles. So far the moles have

never injured anything, neither lettuce,
sweet peas, carnations nor mums. The
moles make the beds unsightly, perhaps,
but the first time they come along after
a bed has been spaded I turn the hose
into their runways, and after that they
go so deep that they are not noticed.
These deep runways make good sub-
irrigation ditches.

I am quite sure moles destroy enor-
mous quantities of white grubs and
wireworms, both of which are destruc-
tive in the beds. If I were not already
plentifully supplied with moles, I cer-
tainly would advertise in the papers
that I needed more of them. An inter-
esting feature is that the moles have
followed the same routes in the beds
from year to year. No matter how
often or how deep a bed is spaded, they
will not miss the old track more than
three inches in as many years. They
have periods of activity and then seem
to be dormant for weeks at a time.

Toads, I think, also are useful around
a greenhouse. In the spring when sow
bugs and slugs begin to get active, I
announce to the boys in the neighbor-
hood that I will pay 10 cents each for
good, fat toads, and my houses soon are
cleared of anything big enough for a
toad to eat. I put them up in the
benches, where they will remain jfor
weeks at a time. One 3-legged fellow
has been with me for three years.

Several years ago a bright boy went
down to the creek and found a few
toad nests. I almost fainted when he
walked in with 600 or 700 baby toads

JANOAEY 18, 1917.

and demanded the customary fee of 10
cents each. I cut the price then and
there, and bought them by the pint.
Since then I always specify "big, fat
toads," although the little ones are just
as ravenous as the big ones, and are on
the job twenty-four hours per day.

MOLES AND METHODS.

In The Eeview for December 28 I
read with considerable interest, not to
say amusement, the article on exter-
minating moles in benches. As one who
has waged a lifetime battle with these
small pests, I may be Accused if I offer
a word of incredulity as to the methods
suggested in the article. "Moles, scien-
tists state, and I do not think it has
ever been proved to the contrary, sub-
sist exclusively on animal food. Their
predilection for bran is a myth, and I
have yet to find anyone who can satis-
factorily prove that he has found the
corpse of a poisoned mole.

The fact that tulip bulbs and other
bulbs and roots are eaten does not dis-
prove the mole's eating habits. The
mischief in these cases is caused by field
mice, which use the mole's runs as
thoroughfares for their provender, and
the poor old mole gets the blame. It is
possible and sometimes practicable to
drive moles from their haunts by putting
moth balls, kerosene or other strong-
smelling substances in their runs, but
this is not of real benefit to the com-
munity, as in these cases the other fel-
low gets your share of moles. A good
trap, used with considerable care, is, in
my opinion, the only system. Moles
have an extraordinary sense of smell,
and the traps should in all cases be
deodorized by rubbing them with earth,
with gloves on the hands, or the moles
will fill the trap with earth or push it out
of the ground by burrowing below. You
will find the "old-timers" wise to a trap
if once they discover its whereabouts.

This business of covering the moles'
feet with lye is a new one to me, but I
"hae ma doots." I once knew a man
who claimed that he poisoned moles by
dropping live earthworms in the runs;
he said the worms had previously been
fed with arsenic or some other poison in
minute doses. It is a fact that moles,
some of them, anyhow, disappeared from
localities so treated. There were always
enough left for seed, future families,
and as this man tried out the poison he
used on himself, the process is hardly
to be recommended, although in his case
it may be presumed that moles did not
further trouble him.

There is a mole exterminator on the
market here, a smoke-producing kind of
firework, which, placed in the runs, is
supposed to kill them. Being "from
Missouri," I tried a lot of these, and
the moles seemed to think they were
getting a Fourth of July celebration.
They came in crowds from adjacent
colonies and have been here ever since,
so that I have come to the conclusion
that they, like the poor, are ever with us.

CAENATION OLD GOLD.

Probably no carnation breeder any-
where in the world has given as much
attention to the development of vari-
eties yellow in color as has F. Dorner &
Sons Co., of La Fayette, Ind. In Europe
yellow^ carnations are in strong demand
and it is thought they will become popu-
lar here when a variety is evolved which
will possess the qualities necessary to
get the growers to plant it in quantity
so that there will be a steady supply.

Old Gold is the latest Dorner yellow.
It is claimed by the originator to be
the best yellow thus far produced, cou-
pling good growing qualities with the
flowers of the character shown in the
accompanying illustration.

will be needed after they are set in their
blooming position; otherwise their
blooming period will be too short to be
profitable. The same soil in which you
grow your carnation plants for benching
will be suitable for this purpose, but
the plants will be benefited by a liberal
mulch of stable manure after they have
begun to make a little headway. The
manure will help to hold the moisture
and give a little extra fertility, which
the plants will relish. They also will
appreciate liberal watering.

OUTDOOE CAENATION CULTUEE.

Would it be practical to grow carna-
tions outdoors for summer blooming?
If so, what size of plants should be put
out in the spring? What varieties would
be best and what kind of soil would be
required? J. B. A.— N. C.

It is possible and practical to bloom
carnations outdoors during the summer,
providing proper preparatioifc are made
and suitable varieties are planted. Use
such varieties as give you the best re-
sults during early fall and late spring.
Any variety which does not do well dur-
ing warm weather should not be used.
Your experience with the several vari-
eties you grow indoors will guide you
in selecting those to be used.

The plants should be started early
enough to be well branched before plant-
ing-out time, so that no more topping

CAENATIONS NEED MOEE HEAT.

Kindly inform me why my carnation
plants do not bloom as fast as they ,
should, and how I should treat them
to get the desired results. My house is
35x100 feet, up-to-date in every respect,
and heated by a hot water system. My
plants were housed during the latter
part of July, in a compost consisting
of four parts of loam and one part of
cow manure. In November I noticed
that the plants were not flowering rap-
idly, so I gave them a top-dressing of
sheep manure. As that did not help the
plants, I was advised to give them a
dressing of cow manure. The manure
now has been in two weeks, but it does
not seem to have accelerated the flower
development. The varieties are En-
chantress, Enchantress Supreme, White
Enchantress, White Wonder and Harlo-
warden. From about 4,000 plants I can
cut only fifty blooms daily. I try to
keep the house temperature at 52 de-
grees, but toward morning it will drop
to 42 or 45 degrees. There are plenty
of buds on the plants and the stems have

a good color and are stiff. I also have
given the plants two doses of lime. The
house runs east and west and receives
all the sunshine there is.

J. H. S.— Conn.

As I see it, the only thing wrong with
your carnation culture is the lack of
uniformity in your house temperature.
As long as you allow it to drop to 42
degrees, the flowers will come along

slower than they should. This condi-
tion likely will continue until you have
a mild, clear spell of weather toward
spring, and then you will have a deluge
of blooms. Make provisions for keeping
your house temperature at 50 to 52 de-
grees during the entire night, and raise
it to 60 degrees on cloudy days and 65
to 70 degrees at noon on bright days.
You then will soon see an improvement
in the size of your cut. A. F. J. B.

Easter Lilies.

The date of Easter, 1917, is April 8,
and that is less than three months
away. It may seem a long time just
now, but remember that if lilies are to
be on time for that great flower festival
they must show their flower buds plain-
ly not later than February 25. After
that, given a minimum night tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, they should be along
in season. Plants should now be six
to nine inches high. If less than six
inches high they are late and will need
all the heat you can give them. Bet-
ter do the forcing now rather than after
the buds are showing. Probably you
have potted in 6-inch pots and filled
the pots about half full of earth. As
soon as the shoots are nine inches long
fill in this remaining space, leaving, of
course, a good margin to hold water.
Bulbs put in 4-inch pots must be shifted
into 6-inch pots before they become
matted. Spray the plants with nicotine
or fumigate them to keep aphis in
check. Throw away any diseased
stock; move backward plants to a
warmer location. Try to give all the
plants a temperature of as near 60 de-
grees at night as possible.

Lilium Candidum.

The beautiful and popular Madonna
lily will not stand hard forcing. Our
plants intended for Easter blooming
now are nine to twelve inches high and
are growing in a minimum temperature
of 50 degrees. Do not exceed this tem-
perature if you want good flowers. You
can force this lily into bloom as you
would giganteum, Formosa or Harrisii,
but the plants will produce flowers half
tbeir natural size and will be much
lacking in substance.

Perennial Phloxes.

Propagation of perennial phloxes is
comparatively simple at this season. If
you remembered to lift a few clumps of
such varieties as you wish to increase
your stock from, you can now place these
clumps in a temperature of 50 degrees.
When the cuttings are three inches long
take them off and root them as you
would mums or carnations, later potting
each singly. This stock can be grad-
ually hardened and planted outdoors
from the middle to the end of April.
You cannot go far wrong in working up
a good stock of the best varieties of
phloxes. The demand for them remains
constant and strong and a few clumps or
a bed of them near your house should
prove a splendid advertisement for you.

Late-Flowering Fansies.

Many florists either forget to sow
pansies in the early fall or, fearing an
inability to successfully winter them,
depend on seeds sown during the winter
to flower in early summer. Sow seeds
now in flats, in a temperature of 55 de-
grees. Later transplant them to other
flats and still later, if bench space per-
mits,-plant the young stock in a bench
in a house kept at 45 to 48 degrees at
night. Use a light, rich soil, one con-
taining a good proportion of well de-
cayed manure. Purchase good seeds,
and if you use a portion in separate
colors it should prove useful for bedding.

Candytuft.

Candytuft makes one of the best Me-
morial day crops. The giant white strain
is the best to grow and seeds should be
sown about the middle of January, so
that plants may be benched early in
March. I like to sow in flats and later
pot the plants off singly, planting out
before the little plants can become pot-
bound. It is important to grow the best
procurable strain of white candytuft and,
if you specialize in it, I would strongly
advise you to select some specially fine
types and sow seeds from them. Only
by doing this can you get a really su-
perior strain.

Cinerarias.

Cinerarias like cool weather and now
are making rapid growth. If they have
not yet been placed in their flowering
pots, they should be moved with as little
delay as possible. Give them a compost
containing one-third old cow manure
passed through a coarse screen and a
4-inch potful of fine bone to each bushel
of compost. A night temperature of 40
to 45 degrees is better in every way than
50 degrees; the warmer they are grown,
the more spindly and unsatisfactory will
the plants be, and the more effectively
will green aphis get in its work. _ If leaf
miners attack the folijLge give the
plants a spraying of NTco-Fume juice,
properly diluted. As the plants progress,
spread them out so that the foliage will
not become attenuated and weakly. A
weekly fumigation should be given to
keep green aphis away.

GERANIUM FOLIAGE DISEASED.

About a month ago I found spotted
leaves on two of my geranium plants;
now I have six or more. One is Scar-
let Bedder and the others are Poitevine.
The trouble commences on the new
leaves. Yellow spots come first, the
discoloration spreading until the sur-
face covered seems burned and dry.
While the plants have not died, they
are worthless to propagate from; in
fact, they make little growth after at-
tacked.

This is my first year in this work and
I am having a bad time. I have only
two houses, each 25x62, and want to
add more eventually, but I must get
started right. Will you kindly tell me
if there are some kinds of plants that
I can start from seed now in flats and,
by transplanting to beds or pots, get
marketable pot plants or cut flowers
from them by spring? Owing to the high
price of coal, I am not able to buy
potted stock or bulbs. Could I do any-
thing with calceolarias, cinerarias,
snapdragons, salvias, cyclamens or prim-
ulas, or is there something better? I
shall appreciate your advice.

A. R. H.— N. Y.

The best plan is to throw away the
diseased geranium plants. If more

trouble appears, give the plants a
spraying with Fungine, as per the di-
rections on the can. This is an excel-
lent and safe antidote for fungoid dis-
eases of all kinds. Geraniums want a
light, sunny house which is well venti-
lated. They like a dry atmosphere and
should not be sprayed overhead at all
when watering. Let the plants dry out
well between waterings.

The following are some of the an-
nuals you can start from seeds for
spring sales: Salvias, petunias, vincas,
verbenas, salpiglossis, asters, stocks,
marigolds, zinnias, snapdragons, lo-
belias and begonias of the Vernon type.
Of these you can sow begonias, ver-
benas, vincas, snapdragons and petu-
nias now; the other kinds a little later.
Calceolarias and cinerarias you can
sow in late July or early August to
flower the following eason. Cyclamens
should be sown in August to flower for
Thanksgiving and Christmas of the fol-
lowing year. Primula Sinensis and P.
obconica can be sown from now until
April. For good holiday plants sow
this month. P. malacoides you need not
sow until July. If I were a beginner,
T would let the cyclamens and primulas
alone for at least one season. Special
care is needed to germinate seeds of
greenhouse annuals successfully.

BAMBLER ROSES FOR EASTER.

Will you please tell me when to bring
in baby rambler roses from the cold pit
to have them right for Easter? I have
been in the business only a short time
and have heretofore bought plants
which alreadv were forced.

V. M.— Ont.

Give the plants a temperature of 50
degrees at once, spraying them freely
until they break. After this give them
more heat, 58 to 60 degrees at night if
possible. Spray them more sparingly
once growth has got a good start.
Avoid cold drafts, which would start
mildew. Feed the plants with liquid
manure until the flowers start to open,
then discontinue it. C. W.

TIME TO HOUSE RAMBLERS.

We have a nice lot of Tausendschon,
Dorothy Perkins and other rose plants
that were grown in 4-inch pots last sum-
mer and now are dormant in cold-
frames. When shall we start them and
liow shall we handle them to have them
in bloom for Easter? How long does it
take them to flower and what is the
proper temperature? J. W. E. C— 111.

Shake the roses out of the 4-inch pots
and give them a shift into 5-inch or
oi/j-inch pots, using a good, strong loam.
House the plants at once, giving them
u temperature of 50 degrees until they
break. Later raise the temperature to
<50 degrees. They will need all the
time between now and Easter, which is
April 8, to be in flower. It will be an
advantage to have flowers opening a
little in advance of Easter. The plants
then can be placed where it is a little
cooler. C \V.

RHEA REID ROSES DYING.

I am sending a Ehea Reid rose plant
for your inspection. The plants have
been in a bench for a year and a half.
Last spring they did finely, but now
many of them arc suddenly dving. Can
you give me any advice as" to the treat-
ment of them? R. A. W.— Mich.

The rose plant received had a large
mass of roots, but the top was nearly
<lead. What leaves were left on the
plant were small and were brown at
the ends. The soil that came with the
plant was a good clay loam, a fine soil
lor roses. Judging from the large mass
«r roots on the plant, it seems likelv
tnat water and feed have been applied

too sparingly, forcing the plants to
reach out and try to find enough nour-
ishment to support the tops. It might
be suspected, also, from the appearance
of the foliage, that there is considerable
alkali in the water, and, aS the plants
had been kept too much on the dry side,
the roots took up part of this alkali
with the water, and the alkali burned
the tops.

The best treatment in such a case
would be to give the soil a thorough
washing out by watering heavily for
two or three days in succession, flood-
ing the benches each time. Then, in
about a week, when the plants show
new life, give them a feeding of half
decayed manure, preferably cattle ma-
nure, dissolving it well with water so
that the roots can take it up imme-
diately. As the days are getting longer
now, the plants will need considerable
feed and water to keep them going.

W. J. K.

LATE SPRING STOCKS.

We would like to have some informa-
tion as to the proper time to sow seeds
of the following, so that the plants will
be in bloom by the first week in May:
Agcratum, 2, 3 and 4-inch pots; alyssum.

2 and 3-inch pots; bellis, 2-inch; forget-
me-not, 2 and 3-inch; impatiens, 2 and
3 -inch; heliotrope, 3 and 4-inch; pe-
tunia, 2 and 3-inch; salvia, 2, 3 and 4-
inch; verbena, 2 and 3-inch. What is
the proper temperature for each of
these? G. L. C. & S.— Pa.

Ageratum, twelve weeks; alyssum,
nine to ten weeks; heliotrope, twelve
to fourteen weeks; single petunia, four-
teen to fifteen weeks; salvia, ten to
twelve weeks; verbena, twelve to four-
teen weeks. Bellis perennis and forget-
me-nots are better if treated as bien-
nials. Seeds sown in August and win-
tered outdoors or in a coldframe bloom
finely for Memorial day. Some of the
bellis sown now might flower, but the
forget-me-nots would be a doubtful
proposition. It is hard to give precise
periods, as much depends on the tem-
peratures, the season the sowing is done
and the care the seedlings get. A tem-
perature of 55 to 60 degrees at sowing
time, and 55 degrees at night when
potted, will suit about all the plants
named. Heliotropes and salvias prefer
a little more heat than alyssums,
ageratums, verbenas and petunias.
Both bellis and myosotis need cooler
treatment. I would suggest sowing
these with pansies early in August an-
other season. C. W.

TO LENGTHEN LILY STEMS.

Please let me know if I should shade
my giganteum lilies to have longer stems
on them. They are growing in pots and
are on the middle bench in the green-
house, where they receive the full sun-
light. They are coming in unevenly,
some being three or four inches tall and
others eight inches. H. H. — 111.

If you shade the glass it will lengthen
the stems on your lilies materially. Run
the plants warm and moist. C. W.

larly, but is greatly reduced in size,
especially in its advertising section. The
so-called trade journals are doing better
than the gardening papers of general
circulation.

ship Nieuw Amsterdam, which left New
York January 6 for Rotterdam, accord-
ing to officials of the Holland-America
line. Thus far no restrictions have
been placed on the merchandise to be
taken on westward trips and horticul-
tural goods will move as usual.

POINTERS ON ORCHIDS.

Does it make any difference whether
orchid houses are heated by steam or
by hot water? I refer in particular to
cattleya houses. What is the advantage
of growing the plants close to the glass?
"Will they not do as well in a high house
aa in ft low onof B. W. A.— Ky.

Orchid houses may be heated by either
steam or hot water. I prefer hot water,
as it is a softer heat and does not
create so arid an atmosphere. Some
large growers, however, use steam suc-
cessfully. Cattleyas prefer a roomy
house where they can have plenty of
air. Cypripediums and other varieties
do better in smaller houses where they
can be kept more close and humid. Cat-
tleyas, and in fact all orchids, to suc-
ceed well must be staged or hung as
near the glass as i)Ossible. They will
grow well if placed a long distance
from the glass, but they will never
flower satisfactorily. C. W.

BUND SHEATHS ON CATTLEYAS.

I am sending you a bulb of Cattleya
Triansp. I have but recently taken
charge of my present place and I find
that many of the plants of C. Trianso
were aflfected in the same way last
year. The sheaths turned yellow and
"never flowered. Some turned yellow
before the flowers showed in the
sheaths and some after the flowers
were seen. Not all the flowers on a
plant were so affected; some were all
right. A few of the cattleya flowers
dried up at the top of the sepal and
at the edge of the petal also. The
plants were not dry at the time.

F. F.— Cal.

There are one or two probable causes
for blind sheaths on Cattleya Triansp.
The principal cause is too heavy shad-
ing on the plants. This keeps the
plants of a fine, dark green color, such
as your bulb has, but the growth is
soft' and a large part of the bulbs will
throw blind sheaths, as yours have
done. Too much water at the root
when the growth is being completed
will also help to cause this trouble.
You will find that in a number of cases,
even when the flower sheath dies in
this way, the bulb flowers just the
same.

To overcome the trouble another sea-
son, I would give the plants more light,
especially when growth is well made
up, and gradually reduce the water
supply at that time. Be sure to air
the jJlants freely. In your latitude it
should bo possible to air day and night
the whole year around. Cattleyas
abominate coddling, and resei\t it by
making quantities of ai-rial roots and
"petering out" niucli earlier than
those grown cooler and aired freely.
In winter .10 to 5;j degrees at night is
better than 60 to G5 degrees; in fact,
T would rather have the temperature
4.") degrees than 65 degrees, especially
if much fire heat has to be used.

NERINES AND BEQONIAS.

I have some clumps of coral-red
nerines growing outdoors. These have
not been disturbed for thirty years.
When should they be divided and trans-
planted? Where can I get the white
and pink sorts?

Where can I procure Begonia La
Vesuve, as mentioned in The Review
of August 10, and the large-flowered
English hybrids, as referred to in The
Review of December 7? S. B.— Ga.

Nerines start to grow in October and
should be transplanted just before the
growing season starts. When pot-grown
they coJiipJete their growth about the
end of May and are then kept abso-
lutely dust-dry until flower spikes ap-
pear in early fall. I do not know of
any American concern offering white
varieties; they are, as yet, quite scarce.
Pink is more abundant. Our American
firms usually catalogue a couple of va-
rieties only. Larger assortments may
be purchased in England, the Channel
islands and Holland.

Begonia La Vesuve, also called
Vesuvius, is a fibrous-rooted variety,
easily grown from seed procurable from
a number of seedsmen. The large Eng-
lish hybrids can be had from John
Scheepers & Co., Stone street, New
York. C. W.

VINCA LEAT-SPOT.

I am sending some vincas under sep-
arate cover. They seem to be affected
wilh seme kind of leaf-spot. Can you
tell me the cause of it and the remedv
for it? R. M. G.— Mont. "

This is not at all unusual during
dark, cold weather. Cut back the af-
fected plants close to the pots. They
invariably break away again, perfectly
healthy. During dark, cold weather
avoid overhead spraying. If the trouble
seems to spread, give the plants a
sj)raying with a goocl fungicide, such as
Fungine or Bordeaux mixture. C. W.

VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS DEPARTMENT I

TOMATOES NEED POTASH.

We are growing a winter crop of to-
matoes and commenced picking Decem-
ber 10. Can you tell us why many of
the tomatoes have green spots when
they begin to ripen and why they do
not ripen with the skin red all over?
Also, why do many of them fall off be-
fore they ripen? W. F.— N. Y.

Without understanding more about
your cultural conditions, it is not easy
to say just what is the trouble with your
tomatoes. I think they undoubtedly are-
growing too rankly and that the soil has
been kept too moist to suit them; also,
that you have been giving them an ex-
cess of nitrogenous food and too little
potash. Let your plants dry out well
between waterings. Do not apply liquid
manure at this season; if the plants are
starved at all at the roots, rather give
them a top-dressing of some old, well
decayed manure. Add a little potash to
this, even if merely-^ Tts^ing of un-
leached wood ashes. Let the" tempera-
ture average 60 to 62 degrees at night.
Keep a dry, buoyant atmosphere and
shorten back the leaves to let all pos-
sible light reach the fruit. Tomatoes in-
midwinter do much better with their
roots in restricted borders. C. W.

Anderson, Ind. — A bad freeze last
month, following a blow-out of two sec-
tions of the "hot water boiler, brought
ruin to several thousand plants at the D.
W. Leatherman range. Among the ruined:
stock was a lot of new double Viaud
geraniums. A fellow florist is taking
care of some white carnations originateil
by Mr. Leatherman, who expects to ex-
hibit them at the meeting of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society at Indianapolis

AMERICA'S NATIONAL FLOWER.

Why Not Choose the Gladiolus?

The article on a national flower, l)y
C. S. Harrison, of Nebraska, in a re-
cent issue of The Review, deserves more
attention than it seems to liave received.
Sometime a national flower will be
chosen, and when the decision is reached
it will probably be reached in some-
thing of a hurry, as in all national mat-
ters when forced by the ])eople. Why,
then, may we not give the subject more
attention as we go along, helping just
a little every little while, and advanc-
ing toward the desirable 6])ject in an
educational way.* Anything that is
bound to come some future day should
not be lightly tossed aside, even if an
immediate decision is impossible.

It might be asked, wliat is desired in
a national flower.* First, something

with bright, clear and pleasing colors;
second, a flower which is easily han-
dled by the masses, including the chil-
<lren, and which will not be easily de-
stroyed; third, one that can be procured
cheaply, in quantity, and easily grown
by everybody.

Objections to the Iris.

A number of years ago it was my
privilege to publish a small floral paper.
It was the time when the first furor re-
garding a national flower passed over
the country. My preference was then
for the goldenrod — so bright and golden
in color, at home everywhere in the
United States, and easily handled.
Many others advocated it also, but the
cry of "weed" rather hurt its good
name and it was gradually dropped.
The moimtain laurel has been advocat-
ed, also the rose, and many other flowers-
of less known value.

Mr. Harrison has given us a good
argument in favor of the iris. It cer-
tainly is a beautiful flower, and the
new ones are most gorgeous. But I
am led to ask, which one shall we
Our own dainty blue, or the
or the English, or the Sibe-
some other? Ought we not
as the national flower some-
thing that stands for one thing, or
one type, all over this great country
of ours? While the iris is a most beau-
tiful flower when properly handled, how
long would it last in a procession where
enthusiasm runs rampant, as on holi-
days or gala days It seems to me some-
thing is needed that the children espe-
cially can carry and wave to their
hearts' content, and that will stand
some grief at such times. We want all
the bright colors, as well as the old
red, white and blue, and something that
will be an inspiration to everyone that
sees the emblem; something that will
make a person hurrah for tlie stars and
stripes and the country that stands be-
hind them.

Every other nation of any prominence
has its national flower, and America
will have its in due time. In order
not to be compelled to choose some-
thing of mediocre value, or not worthy
the honor, let us discuss the subject in
a fair, open manner. By so doing we
shall obtain the best opinion of all, and
secure what is really the best when the
opportune time shall come to make the
decision. And there is no class of men
in the United States better able to han-
dle such a discussion than the florists
of America.

Suitability of the Gladiolus.

Seldom, if ever, is the first selection
in any discussion given the honor of
the field, but this one, that one, or the
other one, after days and sometimes
years of discussion, is chosen. All hail
to the flower that finally secures the
honor! All hail to the one flower ca-
])able of filling every niche and corner
of our united country! All hail to the
gladiolus, the only flower that meets
every requirement! Men, women and
children can wave it in triumph in city,
town and country all over this broad
land, and each answering wave will
bring a<lded enthusiasm, till procession
and curbstone, hall and home, school
and church will be ablaze with the
flower for the millions, the one the mil-
lions love. All hail to the gladiolus,
America's national flower!

The gladiolus is a showy flower. It
can be seen and recognized farther than
any other flower. When handled by
everybody and in no careful way, the
gladiolus will stand the strain better
than any known flower in cultivation.
A spike of flowers from one to two feet
in length, carrying its own staff, or
handle if you wisli, so that it can be
Avavcd back and fortii, as it surely will
need to be, with colors that cannot be
beaten in any other family of plants-
such a combination of suitable quali-
ties will not be downed. When the pub-
lic fully recognizes the value of the gla-
diolus, I believe it will ])e chosen as
the best representative in the floral king-
<lom to maintain the honor that surely
will be ascribed to America's national
flower.

A CHARTER member of the Tennessee State Florists' Association, second vice-
president during the society's first year and then vice president for Hamilton
county— in such unhesitating, whole-souled way did Grant A. Kininiell give him-
self to the support of the new organization. And in giving himself he gave to
the society the benefit of the executive ability, enterprise and varied experience
that are indicated in this summary of his career: Born in Noble county, Indiana,
June 30, 1865; in 1898 started greenhouses at Albion, Ind.; sold these three years
later and worked for the Johnson Floral Co., at Kendallville, Ind.; in 1904 removed
to Chattanooga, Tenn., and took charge, for four years, of the W. F. Haeger busi-
ness; entered,' the service of the city and constructed the new Warner park, com-
j)leting it in two years; established the greenhouses at Forest Hills cemetery and
conducted them for several years; returned to the W. F. Ilaeger place, where he
now is manager.

aspirants. Let tiiis grand old flower,
that cannot be beaten for beauty and
grace, represent America on every ban-
ner that waves in ])rocession, hall or

jiatriotic ]iurpose.

While tiie jirofitable end is not to
be the first consideration, it would apply
to any flower chosen. It is no small
part of the ])rogram, for our particular
trade and ])rofession. The selection of
tiie gladiolus would impart an impetus
to the planting of the bulbs in quan-
tity, so that flowers might he ha<l for

be used where now but tens or hundreds
are planted.

We cannot find a better niodiuin tlian

lovers of this grand old flower to put
in their claims for consideration. »Wakc

CYCLAMEN MITE.

Tnder separate cover I am mailing
a cvclamen plant. Please advise me
what is wrong with it, the cause and
the remedy. 1 liave had (piite a little
trouble with my cyclamens in this way
for the last two vears.

P. L. W.— Mich.

The plant is affectetl with cyclamen
mite, for which there is no real cure.
The roots were rotted also, as if from
an oversujiply of water. I would ad-
vise you to drop cyclamen culture for
a year. Nicotine sprayings have helpeil
to fight mite in some cases, but they
cannot be considered a complete rem-
edy. Mite annuailv wipes out many

SCOPE OF COMPENSATION ACTS.

Courts Defining Limitations.

Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, re-
cently obtained a ruling by the Illinois
Supreme court to the effect that an Illi-
nois employer who has not expressly
elected to be bound by the provisions
of the Illinois Workmen's Compensation
Act is not liable under that act for in-
jury sustained by an employee in a non-
hazardous branch of the employer's
operations. (114 Northeastern Keporter,
163.)

One Simonini had been employed on
one of the seed company's farms in
Cook county, doing ordinary farm work,
teaming, caring for horses, etc. Having
l)ecn injured by being kicked by a
horse in the course of his employment,
he brought proceedings against the com-
pany to recover an award under the
Compensation Act.. These proceedings
have been dismissed by the Supreme
court as being unauthorized by the law.

Not ExtrarHazardous.

Applying the provision of the Act,
the court finds that the case could be
brought within the provisions of the law
only on a theory that the employee waa
engaged in an extra-hazardous employ-
ment, since the company had not signi-
fied its election to be bound by the law.
The salient parts of the opinion read as
follows:

"The injury sustained by the plain-
tiff in error was not one arising out of
or in the course of any employment de-
clared to be extra-hazardous. His em-
ployment was not different from that of
the ordinary farm laborer. * » •
Assuming, but not deciding or intimat-
ing, that maintaining and using the
greenhouse, storehouse, and elevator
was engaging in an extra-hazardous
business, we shall consider the latter
proposition only, whether the provisions
of the Workmen's Compensation Act
applied to all the business of the em-
))loyer, without reference to its connec-
tion with the particular extrahazardous
business.

Lets Greenhousemen Out?

''The authority to elect given by tht>
ffrst section of the act extends to every
omployor in the state. Tliis section re-
fers to the person, and not to the busi-
ness, and tlie election by the employer
subjects him to the act together with
all his employees. The third section
refers primarily to the business, and not
to the person of the employer. Its pro-
visions expressly apply only to employ-
ers in the specified extra-hazardous oc-
cupations, and provide that in any ac-
tion to recover damages against such
an employer it shall not be a defense
that the employee assumed the risk or
that the injury was caused by the negli-
gence of a fellow servant or by the con-
tributory negligence of the employee.
These provisions cannot be extended to
apply to causes of action not having any
connection with the extra-hazardous oc-
cupations mentioned. * * »

' ' The defendant in error was not an
employer of the plaintiff in error in any
of the extra-hazardous occupations men-
tioned in section 3, and plaintiff in error
was not exposed to any of the dangers
arising from such extra-hazardous occu-
pations. Whether or not the defendant
in error, as to any part of its business,
was subject to the provisions of the
Workmen's Compensation Act, it was
not subject to such provisions so far as
the plaintiff in error was concerned."

THE NEW YORK SPRING SHOW.

All details as to arrangements for the
spring flower show at New York, March
15 to 22, are reported complete by Seiro-
tary Young. The managing committee
of florists holds a weekly meeting, Mon-
days. Among the features will be rose
gardens and rock gardens like the excel-
lent ones of last year, a display by the
parks of New York and Brooklyn and
the Red Cross tea room. Space, both in
the competitive and trade sections, is
causing the management much concern
and it may yet be necessary to use the
third floor of the Palace, if it will be
available at the time of the show.

Charles H. Totty, chairman of the
schedule committee, announces the scale
of points adopted for rose gardens, the
same to apply, as far as possible, on rock,

j^"^'

bulb and spring gardens: Forty points
to be considered for artistic design, gen-
eral effect and accessories; twenty
points for variety, twenty points for
cultural perfection, and twenty points
for practicability. The final schedule
is now in course of preparation and will
be distributed about March 1. About
sixty pages of ads have been sold in the
program.

The following trade firms have re-
served space in the trade section and are
arranging to make attractive exhibits:

Manchester, N. H. — J. W. (lark has
taken over tlie business of George T.
Davis, on Somerville street. Ho intends
to grow" a general line of spring plants,
do some market gardening and try mums
and bulbous stock in the fall.

Burlington, Vt. — Gove the Florist,
with farm and greenhouses on Shel-
burne road and store and office at 184
Main street, says that at both ])laces
Mrs. E. A. Seidewitz has proved the
most profitable chrysanthemum ever
grown. There are photographs to prove
it, snapshots taken a week before Christ-
mas. Its merits are stated like this:
"Blooms from Thanksgiving to Janu-
ary, being at its best about Christmas;
a beautiful bright pink; large flower;
nice stem and foliage; should be planted
late and the latest bud taken."

SaxonvUle, Mass. — Raymond W. Swett
says he has had a hard row to hoe, but
that he is willing to scrape hard to find
the wherewithal for five years' subscrij)-
tion to The Review.

Mt. Hope, Mass.— F. P. Falk recently
has completed another large house at
his range at 35 Berry street. He has
an especially fine crop of ferns this
season and says trade never was better.

New Bedford, Mass. — By one of those
mischances that make editorial hairs
gray, The Review recently made a Mr.
Rex proprietor of a new store on Union
street. This was all wrong; Harry Reck
is the man who opened the store.

Westerly, R. I. — In a recent article
dealing principally with George L. Still-
man 's 1917 novelty, the Millionaire
dahlia, the Westerly Sun says: "The
growth of Mr. Stillman 's dahlia busi-
ness has been rapid. Today he has the
largest mail order business in Westerly.
His present mailing list is over 19,000.
This year he grew over 100,000 plants,
which will make about 300,000 bulbs for
planting in 1917. Mr. Stillman did a
i)ig cut flower business last summer from
his new grounds on the Watch Hill
road. "

OBITUARY.

Charles Nearpass.

Charles Nearpass, of San Diego, Cal.,
one of the best known men in the seed
trade on the south Pacific coast, died
January 7 from heart failure caused by
pneumonia. For twenty-seven years Mr.
Nearpass had been in the seed busirliss
at 522 Sixth street, San Diego. He was
60 years old. He leaves a mother and
wife, Mrs. Lola Nearpass, who will con-
tinue the business at the same stand.
Mr. Nearpass was of a retiring disposi-
tion, but was a good business man and
made many warm friends. There were
numerous beautiful floral pieces at the
funeral January 11, including several
from members of the trade in Los An-
geles and San Francisco. H. K. E.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Business last week showed some im-
provement over that of the previous one.
Stock in general has shortened in supply
to some extent and an increase in the
demand has taken up most of the avail-
able supply, leaving practically no sur-
plus of any item.

Roses are of good quality, with the
supply about large enough to meet the
ordinary demand. Prices are fairly good
and $5 for the shortest grades seems to
])e about the lowest quotation. Mrs. Rus-
sell roses are quite scarce and orders for
this variety are being turned down daily.
Prices are holding up well, and as the
quality is fine there are no complaints
on any of the stock disposed of. Carna-
tions are in good supply and are moving
readily. The quality is fine and there
seems to be no need of selling in quan-
tity lots at bargain prices to dispose of
the cut. There was a large call last week
for carnations at bargain prices, but
there was none moved for less than $20.

Sweet peas are increasing in supply,
but they are not as yet plentiful. The
qiiality is good and the stock is being
picked up as soon as it appears in the
market. Violets, however, are quite
plentiful and are in sufiicient quantity to
fill all orders. The supply, however, is
not large enough to force tlio price down
below $1, and fancv stock is selling
readily at $1.50 per 'hundred. Orchids
are not plentiful, but the demand is light,
so that there is no surplus, and no orders
are being turned down. Prices range
from $6 to $7.50 per dozen.

Valley, of course, remains quite scarce,
but the quality seems to be showing
some improvement. Tulips are in the
market now, but are short-stemmed and
of only fair quality. Thev are selling
well, however, and there is no surplus to
speak of. There is plentv of stevia,
good, bad and indifferent. The good
stock is cleaning up well at fair prices,
but the poorer stock brings next to noth-
ing- A number of funerals and wed-
dings last week helped general business
greatly and cleaned up much stock.

Various Notes.

Rev. E. A. Cutler, pastor of the West-
minster Presbyterian church, passed
away last week. He was one of the most
popular ministers in this citv and the
noral offerings were numerous. The
cnurch and residence were filled with
^lesigns and sprays, and late offerings
were sent to the hospitals, as there was
no more room at the home or church.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS |

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir

Alfred Goldring, of Cobleskill, N. Y.,
in commenting on holiday business, said
he believes the wholesalers and commis-
sion houses will eventually learn it is to
their interest to help the retailer, who
has to rely on them for extra stock at
holiday times. Speaking from his own
experience of several years as a retailer
with a limited glass area, in a country
town, he is convinced his business could
be doubled had he the support of the
market, and feels positive many others
:iro in the same boat. A new house,
finished cro Jack Frost appeared, is
stocked with bulbs for home trade.
Tulip Vesuvius is preferred to Due Van
Thol, being earlier and a brighter scar-
let. White Hawk is a fine companion.
The Formosa lily is more valuable to
small growers than gigantcum for the
Easter crop. Narcissus I'apor White is
grown on the bench as a rotation crop,
and as soon as exhausted the space is
filled with geraniums, which, by the
way, are short in supply here, as else-
where. Snapdragon follows mums and
looks good for Memorial day. A big
bush of Bougainvillea Sanderiana flour-
ishing in a corner furnished a big sup-
ply of blooms, which come in handy.
Sweet Pea Yarrawa has been in con-
tinuous crop since September and looks
good for Easter. A healthy bed of
callas, the small retailer's standby, was
also noted.

"We certainly had a bright holiday
trade," observed Frederick Goldring, of
Slingerlands, N. Y. "Our stock was, if

anything, ahead of our usual supply.
And now for the spring business, which,
judging from present indications, will
tax the resources of the grower of
plants."

Frank Baker, of Utica, N. Y., is down
with the grip.

The United States Cut Flower Co.,
of Elmira, N. Y., reports a satisfactory
season. Stock is in prime shape, espe-
cially roses, which are the pride of
Richard King.

The annual banquet of the Albany
Florists' Club took place on the eve-
ning of January 4, and, as usual, was
a most enjoyable affair. The hall was
decorated by F. A. Danker in his well
known style. Frederick Goldring was
toastniastcr and made many ringing hits
upon the various speakers. Walter E.
Cook, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., New
York; J. J. Karins, of H. A. Dreer,
Inc., Philadelphia; Joseph Traudt, of
<*anajoharie, X. Y.; Joseph Snvder, of
Rhinebeck, N. Y.; Philip Ulrich, of
Johnstown, N. Y., as guests sat down
with the fifty or more members and
spoke their little piece when called
upon, winding up with the "Song of
the Brook," slightly varied, thus:
"Men mav come and men may go, but
let such affairs as this go on forever."
Retiring President L. Tracey, of the
Albany Cut Flower ExchangeVwas pre-
sented with a silver toilet set and the
newly elected president, the veteran W.
Sanders, tcok his chair amid hearty
cheers. w. M.

The Review brings resulcs.

Fr.OKlsTS must not stretch the truth
too far, or the recoil may knock them out.

Fully nine-tentlis of the so called
toufjh luck in this trade is due to a eoiii-
bination of poor judgment and laziness.

Although some growers do not en-
thuse over Nebraska carnation, others,
and in widely separated jiarts of the coun-
try, call it "the best red to date."

KiLi.AKNKV 's days apjiear to ])e num-
bercfl. Although it is the most j)rolific
of all roses in the hamls of certiiin grow
ers, there are many who can do little with
it. And the buyers have come to jirefer
almost auy other i)ink rose.

Some of the wh(desale jilantsmen are
so discouraged over the losses incurred
in cxjiress shipments at Christmas that
they have given up the attempt to do
business for the jiresent, although there
no longer is a congestion of freight in
exjiress offices.

TiiK anemone-f1ower«'d (dnysanthemums
are like the so-called singles in that they
are not well adapted to the rough han-
dling of the wholesale markets and the
shipping trade, but they are making a
tremen'dous success with the man who
grows for his home letail trade and can
deliver without disarranging the outer
jietals of the flowers.

The S. A. F. has made a number of at-
tempts, through committees, to devise
standard grades for pot jdants, or young
stock out of ]iots, but has given uj) in
despair. But all will agree that "from"
a certain size of pot does not mean a few
•lays' residence tliere; the plant must be
well rooted around, how "well"' is left
to agreement between .seller and buver.

HOW MANY?

The regular weekly ])ress room order

now is to jirint 12,50U coj)ies of The

Review. Uow many florists do you

think there are in the United States

who do not get it ? And it is where a

l)ai)er is read, not where it is printed,

that counts. Like this:

Knclosod find chcclv for Dccciiibcr ndvcrtising
in Tlu' Review. The ad brought fine results and
I thank you. — \. R. Uluxton, "Willis, Tex., Jan-
uary ."). 1017.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

])retty sure he spends a good bit of

moiiev elsewhere than in The Review.

PITY THE POOR PRINTER.

The Keview has a great many friends
— subscribers and advertisers who wel-
come an opi)ortunity to do the paper a
good turn. And here is a way they can
hel|) a lot:

The Review goes to i)ress each Wednes-
day. It undertakes to attend to every
advertising order that is received by
4 J), m. Tuesday, but it does not guar-
antee attention to orders received later
than that. The result is, so many ads
come in the last day (Tuesday) tho office
is swamped — the printers work long
hours overtime Tuesday night in the ef-
fort to get the paper out on time Wednes-
day.

There is a specially friendly regard
for the man who gets his copy in early.

ANOTHER BOOST IN GLASS.

Not yet, but soon another boost is due
in the price of glass, so it will be in line
to cover one's requirements now, if pos-
sible.

The glass factories have been moving
prices up gradually, so that jobbers as a
rule have been absorbing the small in-
creases, l)ut it has gone so far now that
another general advance in jobbers'
jirices will lie necessary or business will
l)e conducted at a loss. As there seems
no early prosjiect of imjiroved con<litions
in the manufacturing end, where labor
and fuel both are scarce, the rise is sure
to come at no distant day.

The ])rices of window glass already are
high, but not so high as in the case
of many other commodities. For in-
stance, steel is up TJ.") per cent, while
the ])rice of single thick A glass is in-
creased only about forty-two j)er cent,
although double thick A is up about
sixty-two per cent from what might be
called normal jirices.

Incidentally, The Review is jiaying
]'2') \)vv cent advance on the before-the-
war jirice of the paper it uses.

CALL WARD PLANT WIZARD.

Not in years has anything happened
in trade circles that has attracted the
public attention that is being given to
the work of Charles W. Ward. It may
be that Mr. Ward is not so j>oor a pub-
licity man as some, but the idea of de-
velojdng a Pacific coast siip]dy of such
j)lants and bulbs as have been impoited
aj)i)eals strongly to those who believe in
"home folks first." The San Francisco
]>ai)ers have devoted whole jiages to Mr.
Ward and his Kureka establishment.
Some of these special feature ])ages have
been syndicated to other newsi)apers
throughout the country. Two su(di have
come out in .lanuary. The reporters call
Mr. Ward "the ]dant wizard and try
to make of him a second Burbank, much
to Mr. Ward's discomfiture, for there is

nothing of the "wizard" in his makeup.
But the Eureka enterprise has gripped
his interest as nothing else has done in
years — he is in it heart and soul as well
as money and those who know the man
and his methods know that no effort
will be spared to make a success of the
undertaking, which, after all, is only a
plain business enterprise.

WILL THE TRADE PAY?

The Review has received several re-
quests that it gather and publish detailed
information with regard to the losses
which have occurred to express ship-
ments this season. Some of the paper's
subscribers believe that a compilation
and publication of the complaints, losses
and claims will have the effect of im-
proving the service given by the express
companies, just as the publication of
lists of liabilities in failures had the
effect of causing closer scrutiny of credit
risks.

The columns of The Review are at the
service of the trade, in this or any other
matter of general benefit, but it seems
almost certain that a compilation of
losses accompanied by a demand for bet-
ter service will be met, on the part of the
express companies, by a proposal to give
that better service if rates are increased
to a sufficient degree.

Cut flowers pay only the first-class
rate, the same as nonperishable articles,
while plants, if properly packed, go as
second class, at rates considerably
cheaper than those applying to most non-
[yerishable freight. But the demand is
made for special service, for which the
only special compensation is a consid-
erable volume of business. The express
comj)anies, considering both the claims
for losses and the special service de-
manded, find the florists' business un-
jirofitable at certain times and a demand
for still more costly attention to the
shipments of this trade is almost sure
to be met by a prompt counterproposal to
raise rates. Without any question the
trade would be willing that rates should
be raise<l during holiday rush seasons,
when most of the losses occur, but a rais^
in rates will apply the whole year
around. How far is the trade willing to
go in the matter?

CHICAGO.

The Market.

With the close of last week came a
greatly imjnoved condition in the whole-
sale cut flower market. The colder
weather shortened the sui)ply of all
stock considerably anil good prices were
aske<l and received. The general busi-
ness tone of the market seemed to have
improved and January lo the consensus
was that business was good, although
some complaiiu'd because of the shortage
of stock, which prevented them from
meeting the demands made upon them.
The usual January funeral demand has
now set in and, although it is ])robably
not so heavy as last year, it is quickly
clearing ati the short and medium length
roses. In fact, it is often only ])Ossible
to partly fill early orders for these
grades, while late orders cannot be filled
at all.

American Beauties are extremely
scarce and are considered good j>roperty
by those who are fortunate enough to
be supjdied. Prices hold up to quota-
tions in every instance. Russells,

short and medium lengths are decidedly
scarce and, while there is a sufficient
supply of the longer grades, no difficulty
is found in clearing them. White roses
are a little more plentiful than other
varieties, but the funeral demand easily
clears all the short and medium stock
which arrives.

Carnations were in largo supply last
week and with a small demand wholesal-
ers were willing to sell for almost any
reasonable price. The end of the week
the market cleared up fairly well, how-
ever, and this week finds a shortened
supply, increased demand and better
prices obtaining. Carnations have so
far been far from satisfactory and whole-
salers and growers are complaining
loudly. The average price last week
was not more than half of the price ob-
tained in the same week last year, but
as a compensation for the growers it
should be said the production is much
heavier than a year ago; perhaps the
cut thus far in January has been nearly
double that of a year ago.

Sweet peas are now more plentiful.
The average quality is excellent and
good prices are received. Violets, too,
arrive in larger supply. The condition
of lilies and valley remains about the
same. The supply is not large, but suf-
ficient to meet demands. Orchids are in

fairly good supply and are clearing well
at lower prices. Some high grade stevia
still is arriving, but its season is prac-
tically over. The late stock of Paper
Whites is now arriving, and the quality
therefore is improved. Fair prices are
being obtained. Calendulas and mi-
gnonette arc not plentiful, but the de-
mand just about balances the supply.
Tulips are clearing fairly easily. Jon-
quils also clear readily. The supply still
is limited.

Poehlmanns Win Case.

The Keview's Washington correspond-
ent reports that the United States Su-
preme court has affirmed the judgment
of the Illinois Supreme court in favor of
Poehlmann Bros. Co., who some years
ago filed a petition with the Illinois
Warehouse Commission attacking a rate
of 40 cents per ton on coal and manure
from Galewood, a station inside of Chi-
cago, to Morton Grove. It appeared in
the evidence that at that time the green-
houses were using about 30,000 tons of
coal and 500 cars of manure every year.
The Warehouse Commission, now known
as the State Public Utilities Commission,
after a hearing, found that 20 cents a
ton on coal and 25 cents on manure were
just and reasonable rates and should be
put into force by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St, Paul railroad. The order was

confirmed by the lower courts and now
by the United States Supreme court.
The distance between Galewood and
Morton Grove is twelve miles and no
joint or other rates on the commodities
in question were obtainable from points
in Illinois where the shipments origi-
nated.

Various Notes.

Peter Eeinberg will drop Beauties.
Emil Reichling, who has charge of the
houses, finds that although Beauties
are the most profitable at the holidays,
they do not bring the desired steady re-
turns throughout the year.

On the way to the Pacific coast last
week Mrs. Arnold Ringier was taken ill
with pneumonia and now is in Clara
Barton hospital in Los Angeles. Mr.
Ringier is at the Hayward hotel in that
city. It is understood that Mrs. Ringier
is not in danger.

J. P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch, says
that his firm expects to increase the
plantings of Champ Weiland rose by
30,000 next season.

It has been the belief of Wendland &
Keimel Co., Elmhurst, that it is more
economical to buy young rose stock than
to graft it for themselves. But because
of the difficulty of getting just what is
wanted it has been decided to do a little
grafting this year. Accordingly, 15,000

English Manetti stocks were purchased.
They were shipped from New York De-

not able to disgorge them from the con-
gestion of freight in Chicago until Janu-
ary 13.

Meyer & Dramm Co., Elmhurst, 111.,

January 14 was the silver wedding an-
mversary of E. C. Amling and his wife.
Lured away from home in the afternoon,
they returned in the evening to find
that about thirty relatives and close
rnends had taken possession of their
residence in Oak Park, with caterers to
serve an anniversary dinner. The guests
had brought numerous silver mementos,
among which was a large chest of silver
from the employees of the E. C. Amling
^o. There also was a big silver vase
irom the company's directors. Mr. and
Mrs. Amling, accompanied by Harold
Amling and Miss Gertrude Amling,
leave January 25 for a visit of two
months at Orange, Cal. The Packard
was shipped last week.

Among the first in the trade this year
to break his celibate vows is John Evert,
2059 Devon avenue, who was married
January 10, his bride being Miss Bar-
bara Thilmany.

While J. E. Yeats, of Champaign, was
in town last week he made an arrange-
ment with the A. L. Randall Co. to act
as exclusive sales agent for the dis-
semination of his new red rose, the Mrs.
Sarah Yeats. Mr. Yeats has stated that
his output of plants this season will be
40,000.

The temporary store George Perdikas
has operated for nearly a year, at the
northwest corner of Wabash avenue and
Van Buren street, is to be closed, a per-
manent tenant having at last been found
for the store, a room so large that tho
florist has used less than one-fourth of it.
Mr. Perdikas, whoso permanent store is
less than half a block away, has mer-
chandised large quantities of low-priced
stock in the temporary store, dealing
with transient trade.

The longer lengths of Killarney and
White Killarney have been noticeably
hard to move this season. According to
A. T. Pyfer, of Pyfer & Co., this is due

to the fact that when high-priced rosea
are desired the retailer offers the pros-
pective customer one of the newer va-
rieties, so it is only on the cheaper sales
that Killarneys are put forward.

L. Hoeckner is greatly pleased with
the store he recently took over at 408
W^est Division street. He says the cut
flower business is a little slow at pres-
ent, but that he finds a good demand
for funeral work, which keeps things
moving.

Eric Johnson, of the A. L. Eandall Co.,
now makes his home on a 2-acre chicken
farm at Elmhurst. Removal to the coun-
try was for the benefit of Mrs. Johnson's
health and is proving all that was hoped.

Although a rapidly increasing supply
business keeps Miss L. A. Tenner con-
tinually busy, she nevertheless finds
time occasionally to sell pecan groves
for the Jackson Pecan Groves Co.,
Baconton, Ga., for which she is an agent.
The result of her efforts last week was
the signing of five contracts.

The president of the Chicago Florists'
Club, W, H. Amling, has been confined
to his home in Maywood for several
weeks, forbidden even to visit the green-

The American Bulb Co. received a car-
load of 2.50,000 gladiolus bulbs January
15, which had been on the road during
the recent zero weather. That the stock
arrived in first-class condition shows
tiiat most of the losses which have oc-
<-urred this season have been due to
somebody's lack of caution.

C. Frauenfelder reports that the new
year is starting quite satisfactorily, al-
though funeral work at i)resent is the
heaviest item.

It is reported that IMrs. Albert V.
Amling is quite ill at her Maywood home.

That business never was better with
the downtown retailers in the first half
of January than was the case this year
is Fred Ronsley 's opinion. He adds that
with good business prices paid for stock
have been lower than usual, roses not
much lower, but carnations about half
what they cost during the same time last
year.

lias the call and holds up imicli hotter
than shipped-in consignments. Amer-
ican Beauties are in moderate suppW
and are meeting vvitlr a smaller demand,
as might be expected, than during the
holidays. The special grade blooms are
selling at from 25 to 50 cents each, the
latter j)rice being for choice stock, and
the other grades realize corresponding
prices. The supply of hybrid tea roses
is abundant and they meet with a fair
demand. Top-grade blooms are selling

The market is well stocked with the cus-

The weather during the last week has
been severe, with the temperature
around the zero mark almost every morn-
ing. This proves hard on the night
forces in charge of the boilers, but as
yet no losses liave been reported of
frozen stock. With a shortage of coal
in this vicinity many florists are almost
ready to give up in despair, unless the
local coal comjjanies can come to the
rescue quickly witii a carload or so of

coal, to tide tiie florists over the cold
spell.

Various Notes.

On account of the shortage of coal and
the possibility that some of the florists
might lie frozen out, J. Ludwig Schiller,
the wide-awake secretary of the Florists'
Club, has appealed to the coal men to
use every effort to protect the florists
from a shortage of coal, which might
mean utter destruction to their stock.

roses at present and, besides taking care
of the needs of many local florists, they
are shipping many to cities in Ohio and
Michigan.

Henry Miller, the carnation specialist,
is cutting some excellent carnations. The
flowers are large and the stems long
and heavy. Mr. Miller's average daily
cut is 1,800 to 2,100 blooms.

T. Magee, of the Scottwood Green-
houses, was on the jump last week with
several large decorations for the Toledo
Club. Mr. Magee, who ranks as one of
the best decorators in the city, has from
two to five large decorations for this
club every week.

Schramm Bros, have again been for-
tunate in securing the contract for the
interior decorations at the two large
Terminal Auditorium show rooms, for
the annual automobile show to be held
this month. The supplies for these deco-
rations include over 100 cases of south-
ern smilax, and thousands of yards of
laurel roping, together with large groups
of palms. The work of arranging this
starts about ten days before the open-
ing of the show and is mostly ceiling
and festooning work.

Miss H. F. Patten reports business
excellent since the holidays. Miss Pat-
ten is recognized as a specialist in table
decorations and finds herself busy with
calls for decorations at the Women's
building. Miss Patten is a charter mem-
ber of the women's association and has
countless friends.

The management of the Helmer
Flower Shop was rewarded for its untir-
ing efforts to satisfactorily serve the
public by an overwhelming holiday busi-
ness and a continuous run of funeral
work and transient business since the
first of the year. Miss Ilelmer, the
junior member of the firm, formerly was
employed by Breitmcyer's Sons, Detroit,

The Market.

During the latter part of the week
business was good. A large quantity of
funeral work cleaned up everything in
cut flowers. The market was not over-
stocked, owing to the cold spell, and de-
layed trains held back shipments con-
siderably. The daily shipments now ar-
rive in fair condition, and the quality
of the stock is good, considering the
little sun we have had during the last
two weeks. Locally-grown stock is of
exceptionally good quality. The cut of

carnations is not particularly large, but
the blooms bring good prices. There is
no special call for reds. The supply of
roses is large and meets all present de-
mands. Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Francis
Scott Key, Sunburst and Ward sell well.
Some fine American Beauties reach the
market and move easily.

The demand for orchids has been good.
Cvpripediums also have cleared easily.
The supply of gardenias is not extra
large. Single violets are exceptionally
fine and sell well, and the demand for
double violets is good. Sweet peas, ip
white and pink, are arriving in good con-
dition and sell easily. Pink and white
double bouvardias move well. Jonquils,
Paper Whites, yellow narcissi and cut
tulips are easy sellers. Valley had a
good call last week, but the quality of
the stock varies considerably. Easter
lilies and callas are arriving in larger
consignments, but they clear rapidly.
Many azaleas that did not arrive in time
for Christmas have come in and move
satisfactorily. The stores are well sup-
plied with bulbous stock; many of the
large pans are fitted with handles and
colored mats, and these sell splendidly
for funerals. Green stock is quite plen-
tiful and sells well, especially asparagus.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Every kind of weather — free/.injj,
thawiiifj, raining, snowing — has made
difficidt the production of flowers. Con-
sidering the season and the queer
weather, the supply of flowers, broadly
speaking, is excelient. There will be
wholesalers who differ from this view;
there will be growers who think this is
all wrong; but a careful survey of the
market was made before this conclusion
was reached. The demand has absorbed
nearly all the flowers and greens offered.
The prices have been excellent; highest
on the flowers in short supply, lowest on
those that are in excess of urgent de-
mand. The long flowers are valley, vio-
lets, gardenias and, at times, the whites
— Paper Whites, white carnations and
white roses. The shorts are colored roses,
cattleyas and snapdragons.

Valley has been in oversupply, partic-
ularly in those grades that are not at
the very top. The finest valley has been
in fair demand, but the time has come
when retailers can offer good grades of
valley, with the certainty that good
grades can be secured at moderate
prices. Violets have not been ])lentiful;
they can't be in such queer weather;
but there has been little demand for
them. This is not unusual, when they
cannot be worn or sold on the streets.
Gardenias are apt to sympathize with
their bosom friends, in their sorrows as
well as in their joys. White flowers
have been heavily produced to guard
against the January shortage; the guard
has been effective.

Colored roses, while fairly plentiful,
have been in exceedingly brisk demand,
])articularly in the short and medium
grades. Cattleyas have fallen off in sup-
ply. Cattleya Percivaliana has about
closed its season; so has ('ypripedium in-
signe with some growers. Snapdragon
is exceedingly fine for the season and
rather scarce.

The other feature of the market is

the heavy trading in carnations. Mrs.
C. W. Ward, when well grown, com-
mands the top price; so, too, does Glo-
riosa. Red carnations are not in de-
mand. Daffodils are increasing in num-
bers. There is quite a little freesia
about ; some of it is unusually fine. Wall-
flowers have come. There is much more
white lilac. Sweet ])eas are a little less
abundant. I'erhaps that term is a mis-
nomer. Anyway, there are not so many
peas and decidedly fewer of the gilt-
edged sort. A few tulips, mostly Yellow
Prince, have arrived. Calla lilies are
active. Easter lilies are also selling well
at excellent prices. Greens are in de-
mand.

A Disastrous Fire.

A terrible fire destroyed the boiler
shed, garage and car of Frank Birn-
brauer, on North Fifteenth street, Oak
Lane, Tuesday morning, January 9. The
contents of the three greenhouses, con-
sisting mainly of sweet peas, carnations,
asparagus and snapdragons, were lost.
The fire destroyed the ends of the green-
houses; then the contents were frozen.
There was no insurance.

Mr. Birnbrauer stoked his fire about
10 p. m. January 8. Ilis son saw that
all was safe two hours later. About
4:. 30 a. m. Mrs. Birnbrauer awoke to find

A Grave Matter.

The most serious obstacle that con-
fronts the development of the florists'

business today is the unreliable express
service during the week before Christ-
mas. The express companies have aided
florists and themselves by making it
j)Ossible to send ])lants and flowers a
moderate distance in safety at ordinary
seasons of the year. This service has so
encouraged production that growers,
wholesalers and buyers alike depend
upon it for at least part of their liveli-
hood.

The tremendous strain placed upon the
express companies during the week be-
fore Christmas has been more than they
can bear. Despite efforts, ])lants and
flowers have licen frozen, lost and de-
layed to an extent that seriously threat-
ens the business relations between the
shippers and the companies, if not the
florists' industry itself. The arrange-
ment between the shippers and the com-
jianies is so obviously advantageous to
i)oth that a solution of the trouble must
be reached without further delay.

The preliminary steps are simple. The
florists must combine to state their
grievance to the companies. They must
show their total claims from frost, loss
and delay in plants and in flowers. The

comj)anies must he asked in a spirit of
fairness first to settle these claims, then
to prevent their recurrence. The solu-
tion that naturally suggests itself is
that, in times of stress, perishable goods
be given right of way over all other ex-
])ress matter. The details would require
careful thought and it would take time
to put the plan into successful, practical
operation.

The Market.

Business last week was exceptionally
good, but with it came a scarcity of flow-
ers of all kinds. This shortening of
stock was felt more iu roses than in
anything else, and the wholesalers and
growers cleaned up every day. Aside
from some of the short-stemmed roses,
which brought $4 per hundred, there was
a ready sale of other stock at from $6
to $15 per hundred. The supply of
American Beauty roses dwindled, al-
though the price remained at $6 per
dozen. There -were plenty of carnations
until January 33. On that day carna-
tions cleaned up more quickly than
usual and the market was bare at noon.
The prices remained at $4 and $5 per
hundred, with only a few selling at $3.

Spring flowers made their appearance
in the market last week, among these
being tulips, daffodils, yellow narcissi
and freesias. There were not enough
of these to go around, and a number of
orders had to go unfilled. The prices
on these averaged about $4 per hundred.
White narcissus has had its run and,
while quite good as to quality and not
overplentiful, its popularity has receded
and the call is not heavy. Stevia still
is to be had and it is selling fairly well
because of the shortage of other flowers.
Single violets, as fine as have ever been
seen in this market, are proving popular,
but, while much better than the doubles,
they are bringing only 50 cents to $1 per

50 cents. The lowest grade of Beauties
were in no demand. Of the novelties
and specialties in roses the shipments
were small and the big stores absorb
these on arrival. Hadley and Ophelia
are especially popular.

Carnations show a downward tend-
ency. The best could be bought for $5
per hundred January 13. Matchless
holds its place among the now few spe-
cialties. There never are too many of
it, nor of Mrs. Ward and Enchantress.
Shipments are increasing daily. Lilies
do not sell above 10 cents each; some
excellent flowers sold at the week's end
at $8 per hundred and under. The ship-
ments of rubrums continue large and
prices are low. Valley has not advanced
for weeks; a top of 5 cents per spike is
general.

The orchid supply is evidently suffi-
cient for all requirements, and 60 cents
each seems to be top for cattleyas. Cyp-
ripediums are fine and steady at $12 to
$15 per hundred. The best gardenias sell
at $3 per dozen. There are too many of
the low grade and these are hard to dis-
pose of. Violets are down to 75 cents
per hundred for the selected. There is
a surplus at times, as the street mer-
chants indicate on sunny days.

Sweet peas are improving and are
more abundant. Narcissi sell as low as
25 cents a bunch, for Paper Whites, and
up to 60 cents for Soleil d'Or. There
seems already to be an overstock of
tulips, but most of them are extremely
short-stemmed and the flowers small.
Everybody seems to have grown stevia
this year; it sells slowly. Freesia is
abundant and Purity i;^ the favorite,
as much of it is of splendid quality.
Good callas still bring $2 a dozen. Daf-
fodils sell at from 35 to 75 cents per
bunch. Golden Spur being most popular.
There are azaleas, cyclamens, crotons
and ferns in the wholesalers' windows,
and flowering shrubs also.

Various Notes.

The annual banquet of the horticul-
tural society attracted several New
Yorkers to Tarrytown January 16, to
meet gardener customers.

J. J. Fellouris says the Greek ball on
the last night of February will distance
all its predecessors, as every dollar re-
ceived will be spent in behalf of the at-
tendance. Over 3,000 will be provided
for.

President G. E. M. Stumpp, of the

nounce the appointment of J. Harrison
Dick, chairman, A. J. Guttman and W.
E. Maynard as a transportation com-
mittee to make arrangements for mem-
bers going from New York and vicinity
to the annual meeting and exhibition of
the American Carnation Society, which
will be held at Indianapolis, January 31

NEWPORT, R. I.

An exceedingly interesting and instruc-
tive lecture on the iris was delivered at
Music hall last week under the auspices
of the Newport Horticultural Society.
The speaker was Arthur Harrington, of
Madison, N. J. The speaker was intro-
duced by President John B. Urquhart,
and at the conclusion of the lecture,
which was mostly in explanation of
stereopticon slides, nearly 100 of which
were used, numerous questions were an-
swered. Mr. Herrington illustrated and
described the different groups of irises
and the best conditions for each, giving
the scientific names of each and going
from those blooming in January to those
blooming in July. Most of the pictures
were colored and beautiful, and the lec-
ture was much enjoyed by all.

The Market.

The conditions in the wholesale mar-
ket last week were excellent. Stock of
all kinds was plentiful and of extra fine
quality. The wholesale houses report
splendid business daily, and the retailers
had a big week in all kinds of work.

Eoses have been off crop of late and
the prices have advanced. Eussell,
Ophelia and Beauty had a big call dur-
ing the week. Good red roses, such as
Milady and Richmond, also were in de-
mand. Killarney roses are plentiful, but
this variety has seen its best days. Tar-
nations are in heavy crop and prices are
low. The best sellers are Enchantress
and its varieties, with Beacon and Ward
selling well. The prices last week
ranged from $1 to $2 i)er hundred. A
few dark days would shorten the crop
and better prices would then prevail.
Violets are cleaning up almost daily at
50 cents per hundred. The bright days
brought on a heavy crop. Sweet peas,
too, clean up daily. They are coming in
finely and extra fancy stock brings $1.50
per hundred, while good stock makes 50
cents and $1 per hundred. Paper Whites
are abundant and $2 per hundred is
asked for them. Valley is scarce in this
market, with a big doniaud. Orchids are
fine and good blooms bring 50 cents each.
Lilies and callas also are scarce. All
greens are in good demand — smilax, as-
paragus, fiat feins and galax. Wild
smilax, too, has a good call.

Club Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
monthly meeting January 11 in the build-
ing of the St. Louis Seed Co. The meet-
ing was on the second floor, which was
neatly arranged for the occasion. The
members came early and inspected the
uji to-date seed establishment before the
meeting was called by President
Bourdet. After disjiosing of the pre-
liminaries, a report was called for from
the committee of the flower show. Mr.
Ohlweiler, the chairman of this commit-
tee, reported everything in working or-
der and that the committees were striv-
ing hard for the success of the show.

The transportation committee for the
trip to Indianapolis, for members who
will attend the American Carnation So-
ciety exhibition, reported tliat it had ar-
ranged witli the Pennsylvania railroad
for a special car. This committee is
hended bv David Oeddis.

Guy Reburii, of Chicago, and Martin
Seeger made applications for member-
ship. A committee of three was ap-
jiointed to draw up resolutions on the
death of our late members, J. W. Garrett
and Mrs. M. M. Ayres. On motion it
was decided to hold a carnation exhibit
at the next meeting of the club. This
exhibition will be in the hands of the
trustees and will be staged at one of the
wholesale houses. Members attending
the American Carnation Society exhibi-
tion at Indianapolis were requested to
come prepared to make reports at the
next meeting.

\V. S. Wells, secretary of the Missouri
State Florists' Association, was called
upon for a few remarks. He said the
association was in splendid shape and
that a meeting of the members would
be called during the spring flower show
in St. Louis. I'resident II. C. Irish, of
the Missouri Horticultural Society, was
next called upon for a talk, and he told
the members of the recent meeting of
the society held at Kansas City.

On motion it was decided to place in
nomination the name of Jules Bourdet
for vice-president of the S. A. F., at the
New York convention in August. The
([uestion box brought out a good discus-
sion. The next meeting of the club will
be held February 8.

Various Notes.

A. (!. Greiner, the cactus specialist,
on Natural Bridge road, has just com-
pleted his new grceiiliousc. Mr. Greiner
rejiorts that his fast growing business
demanded larger quarters.

W. J. Pilcher, chairman of the com-
mittee on trade exhibits for the spring
flower show, reports that much space
has already been contracted for and sug-
gests that concerns contemplating mak-
ing displays should hurry along for
space.

Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros.,
who returned from Jefferson City, Mo.,
last week after finishing the decorations
for the inaugural ball for Governor
Gardner, says now that Missouri has a
"gardener" and Illinois a farmer for
governor, the horticultural and agricul-

tural interests will be well looked after,

Willie Dee, of C. Young & Sons Co.,
is back at his post in the cut flower de-
partment after an illness of six weeks.
Walter Young says the absence of Mr.
Dee has kept the force working over-
time since the holidays.

Ivan Ericson, who operates the Blos-
som Shop, in the southwestern part of
the city, reports that since his opening
business has kept the force on the rush.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.
last week made a large shipment of
white wooden easels. Billy Vogel, who
has this department in charge, has been
working overtime to catch up on ad-
vance orders

Martin Seeger, head of the Mullanphy
Florists, at Eighth and Locust streets,
and Nat Kingsley, head of the Grand
avenue store of the same firm, now make
regular visits each morning to the whole-
sale district.

The members of the Lady Florists'
Home Circle last week met at the home
of Mrs. F. C. Weber, Sr., and enjoyed a
pleasant afternoon. Mrs. F. C. Weber,
Jr., will entertain the circle next month.

Thomas Carr, the Union Market flo-
rist, has started plans for the enlarge-
ment of his place for the spring plant
sale. Miss Marie Richardson, who is in
charge of the cut flower department, put
in a busy week with funeral work.

David Geddis, who has charge of the
trip to the Indianapolis carnation meet-
ing and exhibition, says that all who con-
template making the trip should send
in their names. A special car has been
engaged from the Pennsylvania railroad,
the departure to be made January 31.
This train will arrive in Indianapolis at
3 o'clock the same day. Mr. Geddis ex-
pects to have at least twenty-five in his
party.

One night recently Arthur C. Wettig
thought he heard burglars in his home.
He investigated, failed to find the in-
truders, but stumbled against a radia-
tor and bumped his head. Last week at
a local hospital physicians told him that
tetanus had developed. Anti-tetanus
serum has been administered and Mr.
Wettig is expected to survive the hard
fight.

The supply of flowers is not at all
heavy. We have had our first zero
weather of the season and arrivals have
barely sufficed to meet the demands; in
fact, it is seldom that so few flowers are
seen unsold after the early morning rush
hours in the wholesale markets. Roses
are in short crop with practically every-

one and prices have advanced, especially
on short-steninicd stock. On some days
all short -stemmed flowers have made as
much as $S per hundred. Owing to
some heavy funeral orders, the demand
for Beauties was good last week. Iladley
is the j)Oj)ular rose this season among
tin- scarlets and is bringing fancy prices.
Kussell sells well, but is inadequate for
tlie dcmaiiii. Ophelia is in shorter sup-
jily. Even white roses, which have been
dragging, clean up well. Carnations hold
up well at .$4 to $5 per hundred. Their
(juality now is to]» notch. Violets are a
little lower, varying from 75 cents to
$1 per linndrcd.

i'aper Whites ;iic moving more eas-
ily. Freesias arc a little lower in })rice.
Oolden Spurs still hold at $5 to $«> per
hundred. Tulips are not yet abundant.
Sweet jieas have siiortened up with the
more wintry weather. Snapdragons are
not at all plentiful, but sui)plies of mar-
guerites, pansies and bachelor's buttons
are about equal to the demand. Valley
has been more in demand; so have cat-
tleyas, whicli are coming in more freely.
TJlies and callas each (lean up better.
There is an ample supply of stevia and
smaller lots of wallflowers, irises, prim-
roses, calendulas and uiyusotis. The pot
plant trade has suffered a little from the
(•old weather. There is a fine varietv of
flowering plants, such as acacias, ericas,
camellias, cyclamens, begonias, liva-
cinths, tulips, primulas and azaleas.

The inaugural meeting of the Massa-

would be held in 1917, one each in
March, ,Tune and October, the last named
to be for fruits only, and the .Tune show,
which would be in tents, would in(dude

"New England Gardens," filled the lec-
ture hall, there being over 500 present.
The lecturer showed sixty beautiful
slides of old gardens and included a
few of the more modern type, practically
all being hardy flowers, no tender bed-
ding stock being shown at all. The
slides were in natural colors and the
finest of their kind ever shown here.

Some of the more important commit-
tees appointed for 1917 are the follow-
ing: Prizes and exhibitions, James
Wheeler, chairman; J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, Duncan Finlayson, T. D. Hatfield
and Thomas Eoland; plants and flowers,
William Anderson, chairman; A. H.
Fewkes, S. J. Goddard, A. E. Griffin and
Donald McKenzie; fruits, Edward B.
Wilder, chairman; W. N. Craig, Isaac H.
Locke and James Methven; vegetables,
John L. Smith, chairman; Edward
Parker and William C. Rust; gardens,
R. M. Saltonstall, chairman; J. S. Ames,
David R. Craig, William Nicholson,
Charles Sander and C. H. Tenney.

Club Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club for the installation of
officers, which for some years has been
kept as ladies' night, attracted the usual
big attendance January 16, the lecture
hall being filled. Notice of the annual
banquet to be held February 7 in Horti-
cultural hall was given and many tickets
were sold. The club has held two pre-
ceding banquets in hotels, but the desire
to come back to the hall found almost
unanimous favor. The work of installa-
tion was gracefully and tellingly per-
formed by A. P. Calder, Sr., one of the
club's silver-tongued orators, assisted
by W. J. Kennedy. Each of the officers
made short addresses. Peter Fisher read
his annual financial report, which showed
a substantial balance in the treasury.
The secretary's report showed an addi-
tion of sixty-six new members during
1916, average attendance for the year
175 and an approximate membership of
460.

President Methven appointed the fol-
lowing committees for 1917: Exhibits,
W. H. Jufld, chairman; Robert Cameron,
Duncan Finlayson, Kenneth Finlayson,
W. G. Wyman, S. J. Goddard, Peter
Fisher, Julius Heurlin, Charles Sander,
Eber Holmes; entertainment, George W.

membersiiip and welcome;; J. F. Briry,
chairman; J. L. Kussell, Frederick Cave,
R. E. Montgomery, R. M. Crockett, J. E.
Ness, A. E. Eisenhardt,

It was announced , that February 20
would be carnation night and that there
would be a notable display of flowers
that evening. Following the business
session there was a fine entertainment.
The solos of Mrs. McKeon and James
Singer and instrumental selections of
Miss Eisenhardt were particularly well
received. A collation followed, after
which nearly all present tripped the light
fantastic until the wee sma' hours.

Various Notes.

Penn, the Florist, has just acquired
a 10-year lease of a store on Hamilton
place, two doors from the Tremont street
store. This will be used for garden
furniture and other accessories. He had
a lot of funeral work for the late R. H.
White, one of Boston's big retail mer-
chants, January 12. A plaque, eight
feet high, of cattleyas, Hadley roses,
vallev and Farleyense ferns was made
for 2,000 of the White employees. For
the Boston Post he had an immense
wreath of Hadley roses and valley, and
for General Taylor, of the Boston Globe,
a magnificent spray of Beauty roses, val-
lev and Farleyense. The force is ex-
tremely busy with funeral and wedding
orders and decorations.

S. J. Goddard requests that all those
from Boston and vicinity planning to go
to the Indianapolis carnation convention
favor him with a check for their reserva-
tions not later than January 24. The
fare one way will be $20.87. Lower
berths, $5.50; upper berths, $4.40; draw-
ing room, $20, for parties of ten. The
train will leave South station at 4:30
p. m. the following evening, January 25.
Among those who plan to attend are

over 25,000 volumes, admittedly one of
the most valuable horticultural libraries
in the world.

At the store of T. F. Galvin, Inc.,
January 13, 1 noted some beautiful plants
of camellias, acacias and ericas. Prim-
ula malacoides is used in fancy boxes,
for which purpose it is easily the finest
of all the primulas. In orchids there
was a fine assortment, including phalffi-
nopsis, dendrobiums, vandas, white
lamias and oncidiums. There have been
numerous funeral orders of late.

There will be a large attendance at
the club field day at Framingham Janu-
ary 20. Special cars will leave Park
square promptly at 1 o'clock, returning
from South Framingham as near 5
o'clock as possible.

Mrs. E. M. Gill, of Medford, cele-

doubt if anyone else has exhibited con-

especially roses, which have not recov-
ered from the pinching for Christmas.
There is the usual January shortage, and
everyone wants roses. It is a case of
the wholesaler dividing the receipts,
giving everyone a little and satisfying
no one; but it is always so, and the
wholesaler has lived through it before-.

Tulips are improving and some fine
stock is coming in, but even this does
not seem to help much. Clarke.

Seed Trade News

AMESICAK SEED TRADE ASSOOIATIOK

President, Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.;
Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

The 1917 catalogue of the Aggeler &
Musser Seed Co., Los Angeles, is one of
the few thus far received that quotes all
seeds by the pound.

The death of Charles Nearpass, for
twenty-seven j'cars in the seed business
at San Diego, Cal., is reported in this
week's obituary column.

N. N. Sherwood, head of the firm of
Hurst & Son, wholesale seed merchants,
London, with which many American
houses have been dealing, left an estate
valued at £514,949.

It will interest the seed trade in this
country that in building their new prem-
ises in London, Watkins & Simpson, in
seeking fireproofness, used teak for doors
and other woodwork.

Mrs. Arnold Rixgier, wife of the sec-
retary of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago,
is in Clara Barton hospital at Los An-
geles, having been tflken ill with pneu-
monia on the train on the way to the
coast last week.

A NUMBER of s-eedsmen were negotiat-
ing, early in Decemljer, for paper for
1918 catalogues, but postponed action
when the peace notes came out, believ-
ing that the market would fall. Attempt-
ing to reinstate the orders in January, it
has been a general experience to find the
market has made a further advance.

Under the firm name of Letton-De Foor
Seed Co., W. II. Letton and J. C. De Foor
will carry on the business formerly
owned by the McMillan Seed Co., at At-
lanta, Ga. Mr. Letton was associated
with the Hastings Seed Co. for ^fteen
years. The McMillan Seed Co. went into
bankruptcy and the stock was purchased
by the new firm.

Congressman Byrnes, of South Caro-
lina, has introduced a bill "to regulate
commerce in adulterated or misbranded
seeds or bulbs, and to pre%-ent the sale
and transportation thereof." The dan-
gerous part lies in the provision that a
seller shall be immune from prosecution
if he can produce a guarantee from the
domestic dealer of whom purchased.

It will not prove easy to make con-
tracts for 1917 average except at a ma-
terial advance in price and after the
acreage basis is agreed upon, no one can
say what nature will produce. As George
Cohb said to the packers at Rochester,
recently, "the two great problematical
factors this year are Uame Nature in
America and human nature in Europe."

The order blanks enclosed with the
seed catalogues grow yearly more elal)-
orate. That of Farquhar & Co., Boston,
this year, is a Baker-Vawter affair of
eight pages S^oxll inches, listing with
blanks for quantity, price and amount

With the close of 1916 forty years
of Burpee Effort have passed into
Seed History. • These were con-
structive years, years of careful,
intensive, scientific investigation
and experimenting. Starting in
a very modest way, acre after
acre, building after building, have
been added until today we enjoy
the distinction of being the
World's Largest Mail Order Seed
House.

BURPEE'S ANNUAL
The Leading American Seed Catalog

The House of Burpee]

in this forty years has introduced more distinct new varieties of Vegetable and
Flower Seeds that are now in general cultivation, than have any three other Amer-
ican Seed Firms, but never have we cataloged any one of these varieties until it
has passed all the exacting requirements of the Burpee Standard. This Burpee
Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Fordhook Farms, America's largest and
most complete Trial Grounds. These tests are made each year for the purpose of
strengthening the bond of confidence between our customers and ourselves.

With the culmination of these forty years we enter the fifth decade of our active
business life, with the firm intention of continuing to Better Serve.

Burpee Annual for 1917

The Leading American Seed Catalog is bigger, better and brighter than ever be-
fore. Twenty-two pages have been added, and best of all, you will find thirty
Burpee Specialties illustrated in color. Never before have we issued a catalog with
so many accurate color illustrations.

Florists and Market Gardeners, in addition to Burpee's Annual, should have Bur-
pee's Blue List, the Market Growers' Handbook. This is a wholesale price list for
commercial planters. Write for these catalogs today. A post card will bring them.

flower seeds and nursery stock. The
idea is to use the originsd order for al^
puigposes, without copying.

A BIT or OLDS HISTORY..

It was thirty years ago that L. L.
Olds started in the seed business. In
1888 he issued a 4-page catalogue de-
voted exclusively to seed potatoes. It
contained the statement that he grew
on his own farm every bushel offered.
In 1895 field seeds and a small line of
garden seeds were added, but business
still was conducted on the farm at Clin-
ton, Wis. In 1893 the Olds Seed Co. was
incorporated. In 1898 the main ware-
house burned and the company removed
from Clinton to Madison, Wis. In 1913
a ■ new fireproof special seed building
was erected, 60x125, four floors and
basement.

THE BIDS ON FSEE SEEDS.

Tenders to the Government.

The customary procedure in the open-
ing of the bids for vegetable and flower
seeds intended for congressional free
distribution was followed at Washing-
ton January 9, when officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture waded through
a mass of matter furnished by bidders
for the contracts soon to be let.

The law requires that the bids be
opened publicly, but the officials are de-
sirous that they be given as little pub-
licity as possible, because of the al-
leged possible effect on the market.
The department does not desire to stir
matters up to any extent.

The proposals were based on calls for:

In Sutton's Seed Catalogue
You'll Find the Unusual

BY the "unusual" we do not mean neces-
sarily novelties, but just good, sensible
productions that are unusual in their very
goodness. Choice things you will find in our
catalogue that will receive a most hearty
welcome to every garden.

Every new thing in this year's catalogue,
just as in previous years, has stood the

Sutton test. That means they are choice,
dependable, worth-while things, every one of
them.

The war causes some delays in deliveries,
so send your order earlier than usual.

Send 35c for our Garden Guide. With the
first $5 purchase of seeds, the 35c will be
promptly refunded.

book. The stock offered Is comprehensive In
variety and in age, ranging from large sizes
down to 1-year plants, both seedling and grafted.
"For many years," says the company, "we have
led in introducing and testing, under California
conditions, the most promising foreign and other
new varieties of fruit."

E. Or. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. — "Our Three
Specialties, Roses, Carnations and Mums," a 28-
page, illustrated catalogue, offering some of the
best brand-new varieties and a discriminative
selection of the well-tried standard sorts. Under
the heading, "The Rose in 1017 — the Outlook
for the Year," an opinion is given as to which
varieties are likely to be most profitable com-
mercially. With reference to chrysanthemums
the company says, "We are offering to the trade
this year six seedlings which have been tested
for three years, and which we feel sure will be
found valuable additions to our commercial varie-
ties." Half a dozen of the Wells-Pockett-Totty
novelty mums also are listed.

- Beichardt Sc Schulte Co., Inc., Houston, Tex. —
"Eighteenth Farm and Garden Annual," an illus-
trated catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants, nursery
stock, tools, poultry and goldfish supplies, in-

some spraying formulas and a table entitled
"Spraying Guide for Insect Pests and Fungous

C. S. Quick, Berkeley, Cal. — A 20-page cata-
logue of dahlias, carefully classified, with pic-
tures of four varieties, two of which are novelties

types and 650 varieties," he says, "more than
600 of which are listed in this catalogue." It
is a neat booklet, printed in brown on cream-
tinted paper.

J. J, Wilson Seed Co., Inc., Newark, N. J. —
"Wilson's Seed Annual for 1917," an Illustrated

head of each section; thirty-six pages and cover.

trated, 104-page catalogue, bound in a unique
colored cover. Special attention is given to
forage crops. The company expresses pride in
Its large and choice collections of gladioli. Irises,
dahlias and peonies. "Unquestionably all seeds-
men," says the book, "will sell out on beans
before the season is over, and if you want any
of this seed at ail we advise placing early
orders." Several tables, indicating quantities,
etc., are interspersed through the lists.

GLEN COVE, N, Y.

The regular meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, January
10, with President McCarthy in the
chair. E. J. Brown, chairman of the
dinner committee, reported progress, and
it is hoped that there will be a good turn-
out at our annual feast, which will be
held January 23 at the Oriental hotel.
Glen Cove, at 6:30 p. m. Andrew Ken-
nedy, of New Y^rk, and Edward Harris,
of Glen Cove, were elected members,
and one petition was received.

The president appointed Eobert Jones,
James Gladstone and Samuel J. Trepesa
to act as judges for the exhibits, and
their decisions were as follows: John
F. Johnson, first for Primula malacoides;
Harry Goodband, first for three poin-
settias and first for twelve sprays of
freesias; special mention to James
Duthie for a pot of Primula malacoides
Townsendii. Mr. Duthie, who is the
originator of this valuable type of mala-
coides, upon the request of the judges
gave an interesting talk on the history
of this plant. Samuel J. Trepess read an
instructive essay entitled "The Gar-
dener and His Profession," by W. N.
Craig, of Brookline, Mass. This essay
was thoroughly enjoyed and a letter of
thanks was ordered sent to the author.

ceeded the firm of Rae & McClain, and
will carry on the seed and nursery de-
partments as well as the flower busi-
ness.

Walla Walla, Wash. — Herbert Brown,
who recently terminated four years of
service with James Wait, now is in
charge of the penitentiary grounds here.
Mr. Brown also operates a 5-acre market
garden.

Spokane, Wash. — An organization re-
cently was perfected here and incorpo-
rated at $100,000 under the name of
Spokane Concrete Flower Pot Co., with
officers as follows: H. E. Keimers, C. G.
Bewley, W. F. Page, G. Pearson and W.
E. Parmelee. It is understood that the
company will manufacture a machine
for making flower pots out of concrete.
The machines presumably will be sold
to florists and growers, who can make
the pots in sizes and quantities as
wanted.

LOS ANQELI:S.

The Market.

An almost universal satisfaction with
this week's business is reported, every-
one saying that it is far beyond expec-
tations after such a good holiday. The
few warm days have already made quite
a big difference in stock, which is not
only more plentiful but also better in
every way than that of a week ago.
Greenhouse roses are coming about as
before, but the demand has fallen off
some on account of the high prices
charged at Christmas and New Year's.
This is a condition that soon will right
itself, and when the stock comes with-
in a reasonable price wholesalers will be
able to recommend it to their out-of-
town trade.

Bulbous stock is improving in quality
and increasing in quantity and variety.
Carnations are daily improving, those
from lath houses and outdoors, but
greenhouse-grown stock is still a little
scarce. At the time of writing small
spring flowers are on the scarce side
and clean up daily, but with the advent
of freesias and daffodils in quantity and
a general increase in stock of all kinds,
prices should soon favor the buyer.

Regarding wild statements made as
to northern shipments to this market,
the writer hopes that the authors believe
them; so far he has met no one else that
does. News is always acceptable,
whether favorable or otherwise, but
wild prophecies are not news even where
the wish is father to the thought. Aza-
leas that missed the holiday market are
coming in freely now, but the demand
is not here. Cyclamens are in fair de-
mand only. Good plumosus is decidedly
scarce, l)ut there is a fair amount of the
second-rate stock that is being shipped.

W* ar* much pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review; orders have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

Various Notes.

G. W. Smith and Mrs. Smith left here
January 5 for an auto trip to Santa Bar-
bara, intending to stay in that delight-
ful neighborhood for a few days. Busi-
ness at the store is good.

Albert Goldenson, manager of Wolf-
skills' and Morris Goldenson 's, is to be
married February 25 to Miss Jennie

Jacobs. A honeymoon trip to San
Diego and other points in the neighbor-
hood is the present plan.

George C. Roeding, of Fresno, is a
visitor here this week.

John Brown, the well known head
grower at the greenhouses of Wright's
Flower Shop, celebrated the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his wedding January 4.
This was not the exact date of that
happy event, but as the actual date
came during the holiday rush, it was
postponed to January 4. Quite a merry
party attended the celebration and
among the happy crowd, naturally, were
Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Nothing unusual
about that. No, Mr. Critic, but one un-
usual point was that the chief actors in
that happy event twenty-five years ago
at Reading, Pa., wore the same clothes
they did January 4 of this, the best of
all years. It is true that Mr. Brown [s
coat sleeves were a trifle short and his
vest was hardly able to "make both

how young it made him feel, you would
have appreciated the fact that it was no
time for anything but jollity. Even
such a staid and worthy pillar of the
trade as our old friend, Fred Hills, who,
with his wife, was of the party, said
that he had to drive home to Los An-
geles carefully. Fred blamed it on the
fog and it is only fair to say that the
nights of late have not been particularly
clear. All friends will be glad to hear
that Mr. Brown has completely recov-
ered from the burns sustained some time
ago^ in the boiler room.

Following out their progressive ideas,
S. Murata & Co., finding their quarters
on Broadway too cramped, have ob-
tained a long lease on a large 3-story
building at 386 South Los Angeles street,
where they will make their headquarters
from now on. Not only the increased
busmess in the wholesale cut flower end,
but the addition of a seed and fertilizer
department, made the move necessary.

The Market.

Stock in general is more plentiful than
it was a week ago. There is more out-
door bulbous stock and Formosa lilies
are better. The China lily crop shows
good quality and the demand cleans up
the offerings readily. Paper Whites are
plentiful and tlie heavy cut of freesias
continues to hold a strong position. The
supply of daffodils is increasing, but
more could be used to advantage. Many
forced tulips and hyacinths have ap-
])eared, but on account of their great
])oi)ularity there have not been enough
to go around. The carnation receipts
have been greatly increased by days of
warm weather and prices have dropped
somewhat. Last week No. 1 carnations
were selling at 75 cents to $1, and now
they are quoted at 50 cents. Some of
the growers who have extra fancy stock
have not reduecfl their prices, however.

Limited quantities of good sweet peas
are appearing and the supplies are
snapped up at rather high prices. A few
late chrysanthemums continue to arrive,
but they are not good and receive little
attention in the market.

Although the rose crop is going off
with the smaller growers, there is no
real shortage as yet, as the larger grow-
ers have enough to supply requirements
fairly well. There is a fine cut of Amer-
ican Beauties, and Russell shows excel-
lent quality. Violets now are fine and
the shipping demand has improved. The
market is well supplied with gardenias,
and orchids are in better supply tlian
for some time, many fine species being
offered besides cattleyas. Many cut
cyclamens are still being used. A few
fruit blossoms have appeared, the offer-
ings being unusually early this year. In
])otted stock small poinsettias are still
shown at most of the downtown stores
and many pink azaleas are being fea-
tured.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

There was a fair attendance at the
monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society lield January 6.
In the absence of President E. Jarnes
and Vice-president T. Fenton, H. Plath
presided. An application for member-
ship was submitted by Fred Mueller, of
Piedmont. For the S. A. F. convention
program committee, Mr. Plath reported
that there is still about $20U outstanding
for advertising, and it was decided' to
turn the accounts over to a collector.
On behalf of the picnic committee. D.
Raymond suggested that preliminary
plans for the annual picnic be taken
under consideration at the next meeting.
With regard to the exposition prizes, it
was announced that J. A. Carbone re-
ceived his at Christmas and that Mac-
Rorie & McLaren have received theirs.
Mr. Plath made a final report on the
returns of the dahlia show. The lecture
committee provided for at the December
meeting had not been appointed as yet.
The treasurer's report showed a substan-
tial balance in the bank on the first of
the year.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

Mrs. David Lichtenstein, who assists
her husband at 7 East street in catering
to the wants of the large crowds of peo-
ple daily passing to and from the Ferry
building, says they have no complaints
to make about business, as they are sell-
ing more cut flowers this season than
ever before.

tensive improvements in its store at the

The Market.

The cut flower market has partially re-
covered from the strain of the holiday
rush and the subsequent shortage of
stock. Some locally-grown violets, and
plenty of them from California, of good
quality, are to be had. Carnations are
more plentiful, but the supply is still
short of the demand. A normal mid-
winter cut of roses is sufficient some
days to fill all orders, but oftener some
orders are refused, or only partly filled.
More Golden Spur daffodils have ap-
peared. Freesias, Paper Whites, Ro-
mans and cut Primula malacoides blooms
are seen everywhere. There are good
displays of orchids.

The supply of good pot plants is none
too great. A few Cincinnati begonias,
azaleas and ericas are shown. Primula
malacoides plants in 4, 5 and 6-inch pots
are so abundant that they can almost
claim to be leaders. The lavender tints
are the favorites. Good cyclamens are
shown. Potted tulips in yellow and red
shades have appeared. Some attractive
potted freesias and Romans are good
sellers.

Test Garden Body Formed.

The Portland Floral Society took part
in the organization of a society to pro-
mote a rose test garden, which was pro-
posed by the American Rose Society and
which is to be handled by the bureau of
public parks. This promoting society
was required by the American Rose So-
ciety, to guard against abandonment or
neglect of the test garden by future ad-
ministrations. The meeting was held
January 11 and was attended by dele-
gates from nearly all the civic and com-
mercial associations of the city. A
unanimous desire was expressed to have
the test garden located here, and it was
evident that its interests will be guarded
by a large number of citizens.

The offer of the American Rose So-
ciety to locate the garden at Portland is
considered a fitting compliment to the
"Rose City." F. A. Van Kirk, of the
Portland Floral Society, was elected one
of the trustees of the promoting aocietv.

GLADIOLUS SEED

We have selected seed from all our new varieties, as well as from our 60,000 1916
seedlings. All the seed is evenly mixed. The sizes of the flowers range from 4 to 9
inches in diameter, and the height of the stems is from 5 to 8 feet. The seedlings from
this seed will flower in from 6 to 6 months after sowing, and many will have three or
four side shoots, aside from the main shoot, in the first year. They will range in all
colors imaginable, but salmon, white, lilac, pink and rose-pink are the leading colors.
There is no other firm in the world that can put anything like these on the market.

New Catalog

Aggeler & Musser Seed Com-
pany, of Los Angeles, Issue
24th Annual Book

One of the largest seed houses in the
West, the Aggeler & Musser Seed Com-
pany, Sixth and Alameda streets, Los
Angeles, have just received the first edi-
tion of their new 1917 catalog and are
giving it broadcast distribution. This
is their 24th annual catalog and it cer-
tainly surpasses any previous edition.

It contains many new features such
as hints to the home vegetable gardeuor,
how gardening may be made easy, etc.
In fact, the supplementary booklet
called the "Garden Manual," which
heretofore has been printed separately,
is this year incorporated in the big an-
nual, and is claimed to be one of the
most complete seed books published. It
contains answers to more than 1,000
questions and gives information regard-
ing all varieties of plants listed and is
fully illustrated. Not only does it tell
all about seeds, but gives full data con-
cerning the correct tools and implements
agriculturists should use to obtain the
best results. Valuable hints on poultry,
spraying, fertilizing and the use of in-
secticides are also given.

The Aggeler & Musser Seed Company
will gladly send this descriptive, illus-
trated and interesting catalog free and
postpaid to anyone writing and request-
ing it. — Advertisement.

get bettor prices?" Some growers are
now selling their carnations at $2 per
hundred, wliile some stores are retailing
them at $1 per dozen. Some wise chaps
talk about the ' ' survival of the fittest ; ' '
maybe the stores can survive at these
prices, but the grower will have some
trouble to meet his liabilities, and never
mind the gasoline. Roses are scarce.
The few that come in are of fine quality
and are quickly disposed of. Chrysanthe-
mums are still helping the appearance
of the stores, but the sale for them is
not brisk. Bulbous stock is now arriv-
ing in increasing quantities and is meet-
ing a brisk demand. Good cyclamens
are offered. These and primulas consti-
tute the principal pot plants now avail-
able.

Various Notes.

There has been a shake-up in the per-
sonnel of the Orpheum Floral Co. Felix
Kosaia has withdrawn from the businjess
and the company has been disincorpo-
rated. The new owners are Allan Beall,
of the Woodlawn Flower Store, and S.
foolman, of the Woodland Floral Co.,
;^-ho took possession the first of the year,
ihey have appointed George D. Bates
manager, who has a reputation for ef-
liciency and who no doubt will prove it
'°.,f""fl"^ting this high-class business,

tion.

NURSERY NEWS.

AHEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NXJBSEBYMEN.
President, John Watson, Newark, N. Y. ; Vice-
president, Lloyd 0. Stark, Louisiana, Mo. ; Secre-
tary and General Manager, Curtis Nye Smitli,
Boston, Mass.; Treasurer, Peter Youngers,
Geneva, Neb.

There will be a big gathering of nur-
serymen at Kansas City next week. The
Western Association of Nurserymen runs
the A. A. N. a close second in the matter
of general interest for the trade.

One of tlie things the nursery trade
most fears for 1917 is the shortage of
labor. It will be bad enough in the west,
where agricultural operations will be on
a more extensive scale than usual, but it
will be worse in the east, where muni-
tions factories are paying unheard-of
wages to unskilled labor.

The sixty-second annual meeting of the
Western New York Horticultural Society
will occupy the attention of Rochester
and other nearby nurserymen January 24
to 26. This is the organization of which
William C. Barry was president at the
time of his death and for twenty-seven
years preceding. The organization has
nearly 1,500 members. John Hall, for-
merly secretary of the A. A. N., is secre-
tary-treasurer.

THE ORNAMENTAL GROWERS.

It is probable that none of the special
trade organizations is doing more good
work for the general interest of the
trade than is the one known as the
Ornamental Growers' Association. These
are nurserymen who specialize in orna-
mentals and the reason for their organi-
zation was that their interests are some-

Native-berried species will be in greater
demand than nurserymen can supply be-
fore the stocks can be grown."

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

The market conditions are somewhat
improved this week. The carnation sup-
ply is normal, the glut being of short
duration, and good stock is to be had at
$3 per hundred, with poorer stock bring-
ing as low as $10 per thousand. Eoses
are cleaning up well in most varieties at
$3 to 10 per hundred, with the shorts
scarce. Callas are becoming more abun-
dant, but the supply of Easter lilies is
still limited. Narcissi, yellow and
Paper White, are equal to the demand,
making $2.50 and $3, the white ones re-
ceiving the best call on account of the
large quantity of funeral work. Golden
Spur narcissi and Eoman hyacinths
have been in good favor.

Many sweet peas of excellent quality
are on hand, but, notwithstanding the
supply, the prices continue extremely
good. An ample supply of violets is in
evidence, the California and eastern
stock not depreciating the value of home
stock in the least, the home stock being
preferable. Orchids and valley are still
scarce. Lilacs, snapdragons, freesias,
bouvardias and pansies are beginning to
make their appearance in limited sup-
plies. Southern greens have been equal
to the demand and an improvement has
been noted in fern leaves.

Various Notes.

Paul Janisch and Herbert Weiss have
leased the property of the Reinken
Floral Co. and will take charge about
February 1. Business will be conducted
under the name of Broad-Ripple Floral
Co. Mr. Janisch was born in Germany
and came to this country twelve years
ago, at which time he became foreman
for H. Scholzel, who originated the
Nephrolepis Scholzeli. He also worked
for well known concerns at Boston, Char-
lotte, N. C, and Clay Center, Kan. For
the last three years Mr. Janisch has had
charge of the greenhouses of the Mis-
soula Nursery Co., of Missoula, Mont.
Mr. Weiss is not a florist, but was in
the catering business at Indianapoli. i'm-
seven years and the last three years at
Missoula, Mont., where he made the ac-
quaintance of Mr. Janisch. Mr. Weiss
has been successful as a business man,
and with the partnership of Mr. Janisch
the Broad-Ripple Floral Co. should meet
with success.

The E. G. Hill Co. exhibited at the
annual meeting of the Indiana State Flo-
rists' Association a beautiful new rose
named Primrose, of the type of Ophelia.
The foliage is a lovely deep bronze-
maroon, finishing bronze-green. The
bud is long and pointed, of a saffron and
cream color, with apricot shadings and
a deep gold at the base of the petals.

Carnation Cuttings

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that you very rarely get a
bargain in cheap cuttings or plants.

We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very
best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line.

The quality is right. The packing is right, and. above all, the prices are right, and you have our absolute guar-
antee with every order sent out.

PROVIDENCE. R. I.

The Market.

A miiiibcr of social functions last week
heljiod to accelerate tlie demand for cut
flowers, but even this work failed to
bring the week'.s business up to normal.
A severe drop in temperature gave the
greenhousemen considerable concern in
keeping their houses warm. Prices have
made a slight advance, with little pros-
pect of any immediate decrease.

Various Notes.

The annual meeting of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society was held
January 17.

Charles 11. Hunt has licen confined to
his home during the last week by a se-
vere attack of the grip.

George W. Fraser lias given up his re-
tail store at SSi Elmwooil avenue.

]'. W. S. Brownell is erecting a small
addition, Gxl4, to his range of houses on
Forbes street, East Providence.

The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of
Rhode Island has voted not to disband,
notwithstanding the small number who
attend the monthly meetings. A mem-
bership committee has been appointed to
endeavor to recruit members.

\V. H. M.

Tarrytown, N. Y.— At the annual

Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps us color at all seasons. The flowersaverage about three inches are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

The Florists' Review

Januaky is, 1917.

DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE.

The Markets.

Trade last week was quiet. Killaruey
roses, both pink and white, are plentiful;
all other roses are in short supply. Car-
nations are abundant and cheap. Paper
Whites and Romans are more conspicu-
ous. Lilies, sweet peas, violets, etc., are
plentiful enougli to meet the demands.
A few tulips are seen, but they have
short stems as yet.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Tri-City
Florists' Club was held at the residence
of Ludwig Stapp. The attendance was
good.

The flower show committee reported
the Masonic hall at Rock Island had been
rented for November 2 to 4. The mem-
bers subscribed to a guarantee fund to
be placed in the hands of the treasurer
by June 1, to meet the necessary ex-
penses. It was decided to have competi-
tive exhibits and an admission fee of 25
cents was decided on. A committee com-
posed of C. O. E. Boehm, C. J. Reardon
and A. Anderson was appointed to draft
rules by which exhibitors will be gov-
erned, the committee to report at or be-
fore the regular meeting in March.

H. G. Pauli invited the club to hold its
February meeting at his residence, when
the nomination of officers for the ensu-
ing year takes place. W. G.

AMHERST, MASS.

The enrollment of students of floricul-
ture in the winter short course of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College ia
twenty-one. Many of these men come
to the college from practical werk and
commercial establishments. The short
course is divided into two sections.
Prof. A. H. Nehrling is giving the work
in commercial floriculture, while C. E.
Wildon is handling the work in garden
flowers.

A total of twenty students are en-
rolled in the regular major courses in
floriculture. Three courses are to be
given this term. Course 51 treats of
greenhouse management; Course 77 of
decorative plants and conservatory
work; Course 80 is a continuation of
the work in commercial floriculture.

The publication of the annual, which
the M. A. C. Florists' and Gardeners'
Club has determined to get out, is be-
ing pushed energetically. Already over
forty per cent of the advertising space
has been subscribed to and the remain-
der is rapidly being filled out. Over
1,000 copies of the annual are to be
distributed free to persons in the horti-
cultural trades.

The Florists' Review

January 18. 1917.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Keal winter weather prevailed last
week, but business was as good as could
be expected. Funeral work was more
abundant than during the previous week.
There was a large supply of some cut
flowers; other items were scarce. There
was a shortage of roses of all colors, but
especially reds. The roses obtainable,
however, were of fine quality. More
bulbous stock is arriving. Lilies are
short of the demand. Carnations of good
quality are a strong factor in the mar-
ket. Sweet peas and California violets
are plentiful, and if the bright weather
continues for another week, they will be
too plentiful, as more are being grown
this year than in previous years. Greens
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray had many decorations
for the implement houses, which put on
their exhibit this week.

W. J. Barnes executed a large decora-
tion for the International Harvester Co.
for its implement display. Mr. Barnes
last week received a large shipment of
rhododendrons, lilacs and other flower-
ing shrubs, which were badly frozen in
transit.

Fred Froniholdt was busy during the
week Avith funeral work, turning out
some of the largest pieces he has worked
on since starting the business.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. reports its' rose crop as being short
of the demand, but that there are plenty
of other flowers to help out. This con-
cern is selling extra fine cyclamens and
ferns in all sizes.

Adolph Mohr will have about 750
rose plants and 2,000 Easter lily plants
in pots for Eas-ter. His bedding stock
is looking well. He has about 25,000
geraniums of good size for the spring
trade.

The management of the Forest Hill
cemetery is going to build another house
in the near future, larger than any of
the other houses. It will be devoted to
carnations and the older houses will be
planted to chrysanthemums and bedding
stock.

The W. L. Eock Flower Co. reports
that stock has shortened in supply, but
that this will not last long, as a large
crop is coming on.

T. J. Noll & Co. say that roses are not
coming in fast enough, but that there is
plenty of other stock. W. J. B.

NEWABK, N. J.

The Market.

While there has been a drop in prices
of flowers since the holidays, it has not
been much. The prices of carnations
and sweet peas are about the same as
during the holidays. Roses are fairly
plentiful and of good quality. More
sweet peas are coming in and carnations
are more abundant. Ferns continue to
sell well and there is a demand for potted
plants. Baskets of small potted plants
sell readily.

Various Notes.

Philips Bros, report business good,
with considerable funeral work at
present.

The January number of the house jour-
nal issued by Henry A. Strobell is off the
press. R. B. M.

Do It Now!

Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over lOO.OCO grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inauiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

GREENWICH, CONN.

The monthly meeting of the Westches-
ter and Fairfield Horticultural Society
was held in Hubbard hall, Greenwich,
January 12. James Stuart, in a most
able manner, installed the new officers
for 1917. William Whitton, the new
president, then took charge of the meet-
> ing. There was a good attendance and
members were well repaid for coming
out on such a cold night — there was the
finest display of flowers and pot plants
ever staged at a meeting.

A cultural certificate was awarded to
William Graham for carnations. Good
Cheer and Pink Sensation. William
Whitton was awarded a cultural certifi-
cate for White Killarney roses; also a
cultural certificate for six plants of
Primula malacoides. These plants were
in 10-inch pots. For a vase of Calanthe
Veitchii, James Stuart was awarded a
cultural certificate. This flower showed
up splendidly mixed with Buddleia
Asiatica. John Forbes was awarded a
cultural certificate for Lselia anceps.
Robert Grunart was highly commended
for his vases of sweet peas and Match-
less carnations. John Harper had a new
seedling carnation; the judges would
like to see the growing plants ^f this
seedling before passing judgment. The
thanks of the society were extended to
John Andrews for a plant of Begonia
Cincinnati; William Graham for three
heads of cauliflower; Robert Grunart for
two vases of carnations; P. W. Popp for
freesias.

After a discussion it was decided to
hold a smoker instead of the annual
concert and dance, so the executive com-
mittee was instructed to arrange for a
smoker, to bo held after the business
session of the February meeting.

J. Sealey read an interesting essay on
bush and standard mums. He was ac-
corded a hearty vote of thanks. Three
new members were elected and two ap-
plications filed.

A. G. Clarkson, Cor. Sec'y.

Edwardsville, 111.— The J. F. Ammann
Co. has sold its retail department to
Ernest Lapp, who formerly was an em-
ployee. Mr. Lapp recently purchased
the Palace of Sweets, a confectionery,
and will maintain in connection there-
with a flower store. Most of the Am-
mann Co. business has been wholesale
and this will be the exclusive trade in
the future. Most of the retail work in
recent years has been done by Mr. Lapp,
who will continue to use the Ammann
Co. stock.

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.

HEIGHT OF SMOKESTACK.

I wish to get some information from
your heating department. I have a
greenhouse 20x100, heated by a No. 518
Lord & Burnham boiler, which does the
work quite satisfactorily. However, my
smokestack is only nine inches in diam-
eter and twelve feet high. At all the
other places that I have visited, the
chimneys are from twenty to thirty feet
high. If I had a taller stack, would any
less coal be needed to heat the place!

G. S.— N. J.

In order to secure the highest econ-
omy of fuel, perfect combustion must
be obtained and this cannot be expected
unless the smokestack is more than
twelve feet in height, especially if it
is only nine inches in diameter.

We do not remember the exact rating
of a No. 518 Lord & Burnham boiler,
but, for a house 20x100, the rating
should be about 1,000 square feet, if a
temperature of 60 degrees is desired,
and the grate should be about twenty-
five inches in diameter, or two feet
square. While a chimney nine inches
in diameter would answer for a heater
of this size, we should prefer to have a
stack ten inches in diameter, and if it
is thirty feet high above the entrance of
the smoke pipe from the boiler, a more
perfect combustion and greater econ-
omy in the use of fuel will be secured.
The actual height of the chimney should
depend somewhat on the kind of coal
used. A height of twenty to twenty-five
feet would answer for egg anthracite,
while even more than thirty feet would
be desirable for the finer grades of soft
coal.

ONE FLOW IS NOT ENOUGH.

We wish to get a little advice on our
heating system. Our greenhouse is
21x31. There are eighteen inches of
glass in each side and in one end; the
other end adjoins the boiler room. The
rafters are about fourteen feet long and
one gable is all glass. In other words,
there are about 1,066 square feet of
glass. We have a Wilks hot water
boiler, 24x36. One 2-inch main flow
pipe runs along the purlin, about half-
way up the rafters, to the front of the
house. There three 2-inch ells branch
to three manifolds, each connected with
six 1%-inch returns, which run to the
rear of the house and empty into a
2-inch return main leading to the boiler.
There are two globe valves, one of them

the liouse less than 300 square feet of
radiating surface, while 400 square feet
should be provided in order to maintain
6;j degrees, without forcing the fire.
Although the addition of the two flow
pipes will still leave the amount of
radiation under what it should be, we
believe that it will be sufficient to keep
up the desired temperature except in a
few extreoiely cold nights during the
winter, and then a little extra atten-
tion is all that will be needed after the
changes suggested in the flows and re-
turns are made.

It the flows run downhill and the
highest point in each flow pipe is con-
nected with a pipe leading to the ex-
pansion tank, there will be no occasion
for adding air valves.

FOUR CONNECTED HOUSES.

Please state the number and size of
hot water pipes that will be required
to iieat four houses, each 16xG0, to a
temperature of 60 degrees when the out-
side temperature is 15 degrees below
zero. The houses are connected and
run north and south, with the boiler
shed at the north end. They have 4-foot
side walls, with eighteen inches of glass
in the east wall; the west wall is solid.
The boiler is in an 8-foot cellar.

F. W.— Ind.

If the houses have a center bench,
under which bottom heat is desired, we
would use three 2io-inch flow pipes and
!^ix I'-inch returns in all except the east
house, in which we would use seven re-
turns. Carry one of the flows upon eacK
of tlie ])lates and the other two feet
under the ridge. There should be two
•returns upon each wall, or under the
side benches, with three returns on the
east side of the east house, and two
otlior returns under the center bench.

If solid beils are used, the two middle
returns may be in the walks. Or, if
for any reason heating pipes are not
desired in the middle of the houses, we
would use only two L'lo-inch flows on
the walls, with seven or eight 2-inch
returns. (!ood results could also be ob-
taineil with I'^-inch returns, using
eiglit or nine in each house.

general appearance of the place will be
greatly improved by the remodeling and
refinishing of the salesroom. The ceil-
ing is being painted a celestial blue,
which the painter says is a perfect rep-
lica of a section of sky. The other
woodwork will be a verdi green, the
color scheme being entirely different
from the other stores of its kind in San

Cohen & Figore say business has been
fine at their stand in the Ferry building.
They are glad to see violets improving,
as this stock is one of the principal
items in their transient trade.

Miss Recardie Lee Murray opened
her new store on Geary street, near
Larkin street, January 10. The place
was thoroughly renovated to suit the
needs of her business and is nicely fitted
up to show the stock to advantage. This
establishment will be conducted as a
branch of the stand in the Clift hotel.

Among the notable holiday events for
which A. O. Stein handled the decora-
tions was an affair given in the St.
Francis hotel. Two rooms on the mezza-
nine floor and the Colonial ballroom
were used, all three rooms being done in
black and white, in futuristic design.
White carnations and freesias were used
on the tables and black and white
streamers shrouded the potted trees
which outlined the central dancing
space. A pall of orchids and violets was
made at the Stein establishment for the
funeral of a prominent attorney.

According to T. C. Holmes, manager
of the C. C. Morse & Co. retail store,
shipments of seeds from England,
France, Belgium and Italy have arrived
the same as under normal conditions,
and this firm, he says, is preparing for
an unusually good spring season. The
company has just issued the 1917 seed
guide, which is larger and more com-

face, which will diffuse and re-use every ray of
light, cannot be over-estimated.

Greenhouse White will stay white — therefore,
it is the paint to use.

The Florists' Review

January 18, 1917.

* SCRANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business has been quiet since the holi-
days, but prices continue high. Stock
of all kinds is scarce, a condition attrib-
uted to the dark weather of the last
Aveek. Carnations and roses sell well and
fine snapdragons and sweet peas find a
ready sale. Violets are plentiful, but
they have not been moving fast since
the holidays. Easter lilies, daffodils
and tulips are offered in several of the
stores. Valley is still scarce, but Ro-
man hyacinths serve as a substitute.
Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Aza-
leas, cyclamens and primulas are in good
form and find a ready call.

Various Notes.

Sehultheis had the decorations for a
large social event last week. The differ-
ent rooms were decorated with green
roping, wild sinilax and miniature elec-
tric lights. The tables had centerpieces
of Sunburst roses.

A fire supposed to have originated in
the boiler room did considerable damage
to the greenhouses of Thomas Arner, on
Grand View avenue, recently. The fire
Avas soon extinguished, but much injury
was done to the stock and greenhouses.

Muir & Co. had the decorations for a
dinner dance at the Country Club last
week. The rooms were lavishly deco-
rated with hemlock, green roping, wild
smilax and poinsettias. The tables had
centerpieces of poinsettias. Mrs. M.
Muir has returned from a visit to friends
at Hazleton, Pa.

A. L. Besancon & Co. report business
good in all lines. The entire staff has
been working overtime.

John W. Beagle reports business good.
He is cutting some fine pansies.

William MacDonald, of Moosic, is cut-
ting some excellent carnations, for
which he finds a ready sale. He also is
sending in some fine azaleas, jirimulas
and cyclamens.

The regular meeting of the Scranton
Florists' Club was held at the store of
C. \V. Baldwin January 8. There was a
large attendance and much business was
transacted. The meeting was called to
order by Vice-president J. W. Beagle.
The coming spring flower show was the
chi(>f topic of the evening. The com-
mittees are working hard and it seems
that this year's show is bound to surpass
any other in the state. The advertising
committee has some novel ideas for
boosting the show. F. J. Moran was ap-
pointed a committee of one for the out-
of town exhibits. John M. Rovatsos was
elected to membership. F. .T. M.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

January 10 cold weather set in, the
coldest Buffalo has experienced this
winter. This may have had a tendency
to retard business to some extent, for it
certainly has slackened up. There has
been a good run of funeral work, but
aside from that business might be termed
rather dull.

Beauties are good, but demand for
them is somewhat erratic. Other varie-
ties of roses are not any too abundant.
Ophelia and Aaron Ward have had an
unusual run recently. The supply of
carnations is much like that of the roses,
quite abundant one day and running
short the next. Violets continue to sell
readily. Orchids and gardenias are suf-
ficient for all present demand. Free-
sias and Eoman hyacinths add variety to
the list of miscellaneous stock. Snap-
dragons are few. The supply of jonquils
and tulips is increasing daily, adding
much to the spring effect, pussy willows
also being essential in this line.

Taking the Buffalo market in cut flow-
ers as a whole, stock is rather scarce,
consequently adding to the sales of
plants, primroses and hyacinths, among
these, being the most popular.

Various Notes.

The Felton Flower Shop has moved
from 1375 Main street, across the way,
to the Utica Court, where the store will
be more adequate for the business.

The Wm. Scott Co. has been cutting a
large number of early yellow tulips, for
which there is a good demand.

It is evident the public is getting bet-
ter acquainted with the Florists' Tele-
graph Delivery and are making good use
of it.

L. H. Neubeck has a nice batch of
freesia pot plants, which always meet
with good demand.

Benson Stafford reports a satisfac-
tory business since the holiday season,
as he has been on a continual rush with
funeral work.

While with W. J. Palmer & Son, Prof.
D. Lumsden, of the department of flori-
culture at Cornell University, will give
a series of lectures with colored slides.

At the store of W. J. Palmer & Son
they have on exhibition a Vanda San-
deriana, bearing two large sprays of
flowers. The plant is valued at $250.
Mr. Palmer, who has been suffering from
a severe cold, has been confined to his
home for several days.

Fortunately for the florist, all lawn hose is not alike.

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose, for instance, is dif-
ferent from most kinds.

Here At Last Is a
Serviceable Hose

For here is a hose that cannot kink — it has six heavy
rubber ribs that run its full length. This prevents the
kinking that makes the use of the ordinary hose a real
punishment.

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose will not burst. It is
made in one solid, molded unit. It is made of rub-
ber— which will not become hard or brittle no matter
how much you may leave it lying around the green-
house or in the sun.

Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is weather-proof and
wear-proof. It is a fine, serviceable hose for the every-
day use of the florist.

And it is guaranteed not to burst at any time within
two whole lawn hose seasons.

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY

When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you
best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and
the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction.

Twenty-five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material
and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to
the efficiency of his house.

The Market.

Market conditions remain undiauged
since the first of the year. A few early
tulips and Golden Spur narcissi are in
the market, but as yet spring flowers arc
not a factor, as they will be in two
weeks. Eoses are scarce. As usual, they
are off crop; the buds open slowly dur-
ing January. Carnations are becoming
better each day. The price continues at
$5 to $6, however, which shows that the
demand is strong.

Various Notes.

There is not much change in the local
coal situation. Slack, or run of mine,
bought in a small way from dealers, sells
for $8 to $8.50 per ton. Carload lots are
$5.50 to $6 per ton at the mine, plus a
90-cent freight rate.

W S. Chaffee, proprietor of the Clifton

An Open Letter

ON

Jacobs' Greenhouses

S. Jacobs &, Sons,

Genllemen:— I am pleased to state that
the greenhouse which you erected on the
roof of the Beth Israel Hospital has proven
very satisfactory indeed.

We are utilizing the same as a laboratory,
and. although we thought it would be too
hot in summer, have managed by painting
the top of the glass with two coats of white
paint, to keep out the intense heat of the
sun and yei at the same time preserve the
light. We also find that we can heat up the
house very nicely in cold weather, and, as
far as ventilation is concerned, it is excel-
lently adapted. The house has withstood
severe storms and proved to be a very sub-
stantial structure.

Visitors to the laboratory speak in high
terms of its beauty and substantiality.

I am \ery glad to recommend the
house and your workmanship.
Very truly yours,
L. J. FRANK, Supt. Beth Israel Hosp.

The Florists^ Review

January 18. 1917.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Business has been unusually quiet dur-
ing the last week. Dark weather has
made flowers of all kinds scarce and,
consequently, high-grade carnations are
bringing $6 and $8 per . hundred,
which is unusual for this time of year.
Roses are high; few violets are seen.
There are a few marguerites and snap-
dragons. Tulips have made their ap-
pearance, but are short-stemmed, as the
early ones always are.

Various Notes.

Robert H. Woodhouse has had a good
batch of funeral work lately.

Edward M. Pierce has begun to cut
good sweet peas. Carnations are doing
well, considering the weather. He has
his propagating bench filled with cut-
tings.

Richard E. Nofftz has shut down the
larger part of his range for the remain-
der of the winter. Trouble in procuring
coal he gives as his reason.

William M. Post spent a few days
in New York recently. While there he
visited the Cottage Gardens Co. estab-
lishment at Queens. W. M. P.

WESTERLY, R. I.

Lewis P. Rankin, who suddenly dis-
appeared last September, has been lo-
cated in Memphis, Tenn., according to a
letter received by Mrs. Rankin a few
days ago. Mr. Rankin had been suffer-
ing from neurasthenia for some time and
is said to have regained his mental
equilibrium in a fall which he sustained
when about ten miles outside of New
Orleans.

Mr. Rankin left Westerly Tuesday,
September 12, for New York city on a
business trip, and was last seen by P. B.
Rigby, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.,
117 West Twenty-eighth street. His
disappearance occasioned considerable
alarm, as it was feared that he had met
with foul play. In his letter to his wife,
Mr. Rankin states that the last he re-
membered of his visit to New York was
his walk of four blocks from the Pen-
nock-Meehan Co. store, after leaving Mr.
Rigby. His mind was a blank from that
time until he found himself in a strange
room ten miles from New Orleans.

This is not the time to build greenhouses, but It is a good time to think about it. Dietsch construction has
stood the test of years. Not only are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each
house an improvement over the last. Our construction is advancing with the times. We advocate nothing
that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than we are now building, and they will be built
by us.

It will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construction.

The Market.

The zero weather of the last week or
ten days has had no bad effect on the
flower market. The demand is exceed-
ingly active, while the January sun-
shine has helped considerably to bring
the supply of cut flowers and plants up
to the desired quantity. There is an
abundance of funeral work at present
and the demand for cut flowers for deco-
rative work is large; corsage work also
is heavy. The supply of roses is good,
with tlio exception of American Beauty.
Prices have dropped since New Year's.
The rcceii)ts of carnations are larger
than they have been since the holidays.
A great many of the blooms are used in
funeral work. The prices have lowered
considerably.

The supply of eattleyas is good. This
also is true of cypripediums, vandas and
oncidiums. The local demand for orchids
has increased substantially this season.
Longiflorum and rubrum lilies are in
good sujiply and meet with a good call
for funeral work. Valley is on the
scarce side. Other offerings are snap-
dragons, which are in moderate supply,
sweet peas, violets, Paper White nar-
cissi, callas and tulips.

Various Notes.

"\V. .T. A: ^1. S. Vosey are expecting
a shipment of 5,000 orchid plants of va-
rious species from South America. This
shipment will arrive Avithin a few weeks
and, with the six houses of orchids now
owned by tlie firm, will make this estab-
lishment 's collection one of the foremost
in the middle western states. Will J.
Vesej', Jr., will be among the local flo-
rists to attend the American Carnation
Society meeting and exhibition at In-
diana]»olis, .lanuary 31 and February 1.

James Schols, violet specialist of
Grand Eapids, Mich., is shipping single
violets to tliis market tliat are unusually
fragrant.

¥. .T. Knecht & Co. recently bought a
Ford delivery car, to serve as an as-
sistant to their Overland.

Tlie coal jiroblem is no nearer solution
than it was several months ago. The
price of coal is not only advancing, but
deliveries are almost impossible to ob-
tain. One grower says that he lacks
thirty cars to bring his contract up to
date.

Miss Rhoda A. Boswell, of the Doswell

BACKBONE

How We Put It In Our Ridges

DN our new Reconstructed Construction, with its wide spacing between
rafters, the ridge would be apt to sag were it not for the truss
stiffener we use.

This stiffener extends from one rafter ridge splice plate to the other,
with struts between.

Strong as it is, still it casts practically no shade. This is a superior
point, far from the case with the use of heavy angle iron or I-beam shapes.

It's no trick to make a house strong enough.

But it is a considerable one to make it that strong, and still keep the
shade down as we have.

You know we go anywhere for business, or to talk business.

CYPRESS BY TESJ
SUBSTITUTES BY TALK

Is there value to you in an endurance test of I'.t years In greenhouse sash? It Is reported to us that sash made
of hpjirt Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor In Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Des
I'lalues. 111., in 1868. are still doing service.

.Tacob Fries, Bethlehem, Pa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for ^0 years and are still on the Job.
And these are not isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of "The Wood Eternal" for greenhouse use.

It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements.

The anjument backed by such facta cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or contractor who

\v;ints to Kivc voii a "substitute'' for Cvpross to cite v<ni to an cncluraiicr tist ol' ',iO or 4'.» years to the credit of the
so-called "substitute."

That Is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good ordinary business sense.

If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, and no test, then there's a "nigger In that wood-pile." Tou
know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress.

"PKCKY" CYPRESS. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. The U. S.
Govt. Rept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has been a long time prey-
ing upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below
the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber Is pecky, though it has been buried during
a period estimated at no less than .SO.OOO years. . . . The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... Is believed
to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay."

Is 30.000 years "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUR greenhouse T

There is no known record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too.

A postal will do, a letter is better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library
(a strictly authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 is all about "OREENHOUSESl." It Is FREE. Send for it. Also
ask for Vol. 2, on "Pecky" — a money-aaver. Take no hearsay. GET THE FACTS. Then ACT.

TAVO VERY PROFITABLE WINTER CROPS,
RHUBARB AND ASl'ARAGUS, can be easily

during the winter. As they sell for very high
prices, they can be very profitably grown even

the winter at 50c per bunch of six stalks. I
can supply sections of 10-yr. asparagus roots.
These have very large roots and crowns and will
produce large stalks quickly. Directions for

The Market.

The cold weather last week caused the
supply of stock to shorten considerably.
The demand, too, has fallen off some-
what, l)ut even at that most of the re-
ceipts are taken uj) (piickly. The rose
supply has diminished (jreatly, so that
all roses that come in prove to be good
jtroperty. C'arnatiou receipts, too, have
decreased. Kiioufjii Easter lilies are
coming in to take care of all demands.
Paper White narcissi are plentiful; the
same is true of sweet peas. Valley, or-
chids and violets may be had. Other of-
ferings are callas, rubruin lilies, snaj)-
dragons, Koman hyacinths, forget-me-
nots, wallflowers ami primroses. Greens
are iilentiful.

Washington, 111. — \V. .1. Harms has an
nounced his intention of starting a
greenhouse business near here.

Helena, Mont. — As an unusual side
line for a florist, the State Nursery &
Seed Co. fills two large storage houses
with ice each winter. During Christmas
week the ice at that cutting was twenty-
two inches thick. Notwithstanding the
severe early winter in this section, the
greenhouses jiroduced a fine lot of Christ-
mas plants, j)oinsettias, Lorraine and
Chatelaine begonias and cycdamens. A
lieavy cut of roses, carnations, violets,
sweet jieas, narcissi and cattleyas has
been well kept cleaned out, as this has
been the most prosperous and rushing
business in the history of the concern.

The After-Cost

— that's the rock that wrecks
many a greenhouse man.

^^^:

One of Our Ways of Cuttintr Out After-Cost.

This is the AGMCO cement column protector. Made
of a Hne mixture of cement this insulates the steel from
moisture and prevents corrosion.

Like plated ware, the cheap greenhouse doesn't

look so bad when it's new, but later !

Surely the cheap house costs less in the

beginning; but it costs more in the end!

Not so with the AGMCO.

It has a lower after-cost than any
greenhouse on the market. It has a
longer life. When the greenhouse
doctor is making regular visits to the
cheap greenhouse, your AGMCO will
be just as good as it was the day you
first benched stock in it. That's why
many a grower who expected to buy
an ordinary greenhouse has bought
an AGMCO, the supergreenhouse.

Study after-costs figure ^^ith an eye on

the years to come. You are not, like the
Arabt pitching^ a tent for a ene night's stay.
YOU are building to house one of the great-
est things in the world to you — the source of
your daily bread, your and your wife's old
age insurance, and the inheritance of your
children. Could anything be w^orthy a more
serious consideration — a more royal home?

That's why you'll want an AGMCO a

lesser house will mean years of regret to you.

Investigate the AGMCO thoroughly—
Compare it with others — and —
It Will Sell Itself to You.

The highest priced and
the cheapest greenhouse.

Gentlemen : We have just received the forty L'Oth Century Double-acting Arms
ordered from you a few days ago. Our putting the vents closer together than was
called for in specifications accounts for retiuiring this additional material.

Our houses are nearly all equipped with your ventilating machinery, and we find
same very satisfactory in every respect. Your Double-acting 20th Century Arm is
more serviceable than the others we have in use, and if properly installed needs no
more attention at all. We consider your Arm the perfect one.

We wish to thank you for your promptness in filling this order and for the cour-
teous treatment extended in the past. Yours very truly, Davis & Steiner.

liAl say dowu in the mountaiQS of Vir-
ginia, " two whoops and a holler "
from our Des Plaines factory, near Chi-
cago.

To a house he had, we joined this one,
28 feet wide by 210 feet long.

If you look carefully at the framing,
you will see it has the Giant Arch with
the V-shaped bracing and ridge sag rod.

with the taiH-red faces. When
tlie l)olts ate p\illc(l up tit'ht. the
edtres ditr into the iiipe with a

Those V braces are of pipe that extend
to a pipe purlin.

With this bracing and the sag rod
pulled up snug and tight, you have, when
combined with the Giant Arch, a frame
that, next to our iron frame house, is as
rigid and enduring a house as money will
buy.

When you want to talk building, say
when and where and we'll be there.

ASTER
PINK ENCHANTRESS

Upright in habit, as distinguished
from the Branching form. The plant
is very vigorous, and produces long,
strong stems for the support of num-
erous large exhibition blooms. The
flower is always full double: petals
are of medium length and very broad;
those toward the center fold In very
regularly, while gradually, toward the
outer edge, the petals stand out more
and more until those on the outside
recede from the center, thus Increas-
ing the diameter of the flower, which
compares very favorably In size with
the largest-flowering kinds on our
farm. Color similar to that of the
Enchantress carnation; flowers late.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,

ACCEPT "8UPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY

For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS

EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS

C. E. Crltchell, of Cincinimti, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superlora' brand of MagmoUas, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become moldy, and that
every leaf can be used, and when this Is taken Into consideration,
they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."

The McCaUum Co., of Pittsburgh, P»„ says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to induce us to stock up their goods 'Just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each instance told
them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing It; in fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., writes: "Tour
•Superlora' Magmolla Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; It is a very
satisfactory leaf indeed."

Jos. O. Meidlnrer Co., of Philadelphia. Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."

The Montreal Floral Exchange, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has Increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterized ajl your dealings with us."

Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and And in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc.. etc."

Jos. £. Koppelman, of Providence, R. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."

New England Flotlat Supply Co., oT Boston, Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superlora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
biisiness."

Wm. F. Kasting Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superlora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."

B. E. and J. T. Cokely, of Srranton, Penn., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc."

The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., oT Baltimore,.
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
in stock."

N. F. McCarthy and Co., of Boston. Mass., write: ". . . It
is the opinion of McCarthy and Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is wel^
worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."

Henry M. RoblnB4Mi and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves Is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."

Reed and Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,,
and we are Indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory: colors vary and leaves mould
quickly, etc."

The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superlora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."

Smith and Young, oT Indianapolis, Ind., write: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superlora' exclusively as we consider It superior to any
other leaf in the market. Since we handle 'Superlora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of CleTeland, Ohio, writes:
". . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superlora' brand

Magrnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."

Geo. H. Angermueller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superlora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."

Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, III., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seem*
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."

Gentlemen: -

I take pleasure in informing you that the White three-quarter
ton truck which I purchaeed from you laet September ia meeting with my en-
tire satisfaction. I have used It constantly from morning until night and
I find that It is of high economy and ahsolute dependability.

Previous to last fall I was always obliged to keep a third truck
as an extra to be used as necessity dictated, as 1 could not with certainty
depend upon my regular trucks being fit for service. My White has enabled
ES to dispjnse with this extra car.

As I consider the White without a pear, 1 gladly recom.Tiend It to
anyone contenplatlng the purchase of a delivery truck.

Very truly yours.

2 Beautiful Novelty

Roses

PRIMEROSE

It's like Sunburst and it's like Ophelia.

Better and more even color all winter than Sunburst and grows
and produces better.

Deeper in color and stronger, darker foliage than Ophelia.

A money maker for the grower and a fine new color for the
store man that wants novelties.

Come here and see it growing.

ROSAUE

(Baby Chatenay)

A beautiful small rose. Probably best described as junior in
size, as it's somewhat larger than Brunner and the other small
roses.

A long pointed bud of beautiful clear pink, similar to the parent
— Abel Chatenay. The foliage and habit are also similar.

Profitable for the grower because so free, and a splendid cor-
sage rose and make-up rose for the store man.

Come here and see it growing.

Who are you trying to satisfy — the
Auto Repairman or your customers?

EVERY florist knows that
his business demands mo-
tor delivery — the usual
order is the rush order, and quick
delivery is an important factor in
keeping old customers satisfied
and increasing your business.

Delivery with a converted
pleasure car is the first costly
mistake that a good many florists
have made — and their delivery
service instead of being an asset
to their business begins to support
the automobile repairman.

The VIM Motor Truck Com-
pany of Philadelphia were the
first delivery car manufacturers
to go into the truck business in
the right way. They investigated
the delivery problem in every line
of trade. The result of their in-

vestigation proved that the most
economic delivery was based on the
radius of 15 to 25 zniles and hand-
ling of loads up to half a ton.

The VIM half-ton Delivery Car is
built to meet these requirements, and
today it is giving the most efficient and
economical delivery to thousands of
merchants all over the country. The
VIM is a substantial truck built to stay
on the job, delivering every working
hour of the day and keep out of the
repair shop

The VIM Truck is your opportunity
to put your delivery on a practical
and economical basis — whether
trucking a half-ton of potted plants for
a reception, funeral, or wedding — or
getting out rush orders for cut flowers.

Over 20,000 merchants have paid for
their VIMS out of the savings the cars
have effected. You can also buy your
VIM on the same terms— the VIM
Deferred Payment Plan.

This is the most eff.iient chassis for its
work in the world— price is 1645. t itted
with any one of twelve types of body—
handsomely desiimed and strongly built
—suitable for a hundred lines of busi-

moisture, and this feature is approved by practical florists.

If you have not yet tested the utility of this useful chiffon, it would be to
your interest to communicate with us at once.

"A FRIEND IN NEED

IS A FRIEND INDEED"

At Washington, D. C, a custom has grown up in the trade, of helping
out the man who is in need, even if he he a competitor. The theory is that
it tends to increase the consumption of flowers — the fact that a Washington
florist takes orders with the hacking of all the stock in the city.

^\i^W

O you ever find yourself ab-
solutely at the end of your
rope, with an order from a
good customer and posi-
tively no means of filling
it? In such a case there
is only one thing to do,
which is to seek such re-
lief as comes from a frank
expression of one's feel-
ings— but stop! How about the fellow
around the corner? Perhaps he can help
us out — only we haven't the "face" to
ask him after the way we chuckled at
his discomfiture that day his shipment
failed to get in on time and he fell down
on the wedding order he took away from
us.

To the florist in one of the big cities,
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia or
Boston, it is unbeliev-
able that there ever
:§iiould come a time
when flowers of some
sort would not be ob-
tainable, when it would
be impossible to substi-
tute and fill an order
after a fashion, at the
cost of no greater effort
than a visit to the
wholesale markets.

A Tight Place.

But manj' a florist in
a small city and, in-
deed, in some of the
important ones, knows
from bitter experience
'What it means to be
caught in a position
where the florist's rep-
"tation suffers through
a guiltless inability to
<'ome up to what is ex-
pected of him.

It is, perhaps, more
Jikely to happen during
tlie dark, cold days of
January than
other time.

Even in as
Jiarket as
Washingt
^-•, there are times
;ylien the retailer is

up against it"—
^hen he can not make
a creditable showing on
jiis own resources,
jheso times are less
irequent now than in
; tf" gone by, because
wholesale houses and
automobiles are more
numerous now than

they used to be — but still it happens.
And this is what has come to pass:

The man who is stuck wastes no time
in blasphemy or vain regrets; he simply
runs around the corner to a competitor
or resorts to the telephone until he finds,
if not the precise stock he needs, some-
thing that will make it possible for him
to fill the order in some sort of satisfac-
tory fashion — to save his face and his
customer, as it were.

Splitting the Difference.

The price to be paid for accommoda-
tion is thoroughly established — it is a
custom, not a courtesy. If valley is 4
cents wholesale and $1 per dozen refail,
then the accommodation price is 6 cents,
halfway between.

The Magnolia Leaf Is an Ever-present FrJend in the Hour of Need.

who first applied the practice of lending
the helping hand and charging enough
for it so the applicant could retain his
self-respect and at the same time not
feel that his necessities were taken ad-
vantage of, but now the custom is so
well established, that any florist can get
any unsold flow^er in any other florist's
icebox any time he needs it — and he
knows just what it will cost him to get
it, the accommodation price, with no
obligation except to treat with equal
fairness the next man who comes. He is
in duty bound to make the same price
under the same circumstances.

The accommodation custom, where all
the stock in town practically is pooled
and at the command of all who abide by
the rules of gentlemanly conduct, makes
it possible to increase the sales of flow-
ers in cities where there
are several florists; it
gives both parties a
profit oil the sales in
which "accommoda-
tion" figures and it
keeps the customers
coming.

CaJi Order Be Filled?

But out in the coun-
try what is one to do
when the train is late,
when the messenger
fails to put the box off,
when the stock is froz-
en or asleep or when the
call is at such short no-
tice that there is no
time to send to the city
and nothing to cut in
the local greenhouses?

The times of actual
scarcity of stock now
are few and far be-
tween. In the cut flow-
er markets of the large
cities there are only a
few days in the year
when it is diflScult to
find just the seasonable
flowers one wants, and
even when short nses
for work are scarce and
high in price there like-
ly are plenty of carna-
tions, Paper Whites or
other substitutes. Even
the traditional short-
age of roses in January
is more or less a thing
of the past, as growers
no longer crop all their
houses for Christmas.

Consequently the flo-
rist who is in need usu-

JANDAKT 25, 1917.

ally is one who has been called on for
quick service, who has such short no-
tice that he has no time to obtain flow-
ers from his usual source of supply. If
he has neighbors to whom he can go in
an emergency, all well and good; other-
wise, is the order to be lost?

With such resourcefulness as a florist
ordinarily possesses, or he would not be
a florist, it usually is possible to meet
almost any demand after a fashion. But
the sudden demands nearly always are
for funeral work — the wedding floweis
almost always are ordered ahead, as are
the flowers for other social uses. With
such orders the florist in the country
does not get into trouble unless the ship-
ment misses a connection; it is with the
order for the funeral to be held within
a few hours that he gets his grief.

A Florists' Life Saver.

Perhaps it was not for sueli a per-
plexed florist that prepared magnolia
leaves were invented, but certainly they
have been a life saver in many an emer-
gency— it is not of record that magnolias

have been used in brides' bouquets, but
they are as suitable for a wreath for
presentation to the Fourth of July orator
as they are useful for a funeral piece
when flowers are scarce. With a case or
two of magnolia leaves always in stock,
and a bolt or two of ribbon, the florist
absolutely is monarch of all he surveys;
he can make a funeral design at a mo-
ment's notice. If flowers are available
he may add as many as he will, but if he
is a good salesman and a fair designer
he can get away with it without the -use
of even one bloom.

Then, too, there is another merit of
the magnolia: one can carry one or two
or half a dozen wreaths made up, ready
for a call, and in ten minutes he can add
a cluster of green and roses and have the
piece on its way. There is more than one
florist who has a transient funeral trade
who does just that.

Yes, accommodation is good, decidedly
good, but for the country florist the ever
])rcsent case of magnolia leaves is like
the friend in need, a friend indeed.

FLOWERS FOR DEWEY

tlt7Ttlt7Ttlt7Ttlt7Ttlt7Tlll7Ttll7Tlll7TtllY

A NOTABLE DISPLAY.

Quality and Good Taste.

Again the florists of Washington have,
at short notice, met an unusual demand
in a way that does much credit to their
resources and to their artistic and busi-
ness ability. Washington is the scene
of more funerals of national importance
than is any other city in the country,
more even than Chicago or New York,
and the retailers there are not inexpe-
rienced in handling a rush of big work.
This time it was for the funeral of Ad-
miral Dewey, held January 20.

The showing of flowers was one of
the largest in years, orders coming, not
only from persons prominent in Wash-

ington life, but by telegraph from all
over the United States. The designs
averaged much above the usual in size
and value; also, the majority were in
excellent taste, the freak designs being
not numerous.

Small & Sons in Charge.
A huge wreath, fourteen or fifteen feet
in diameter, was the feature which stood
out most prominently at the funeral.
This was made by J. H. Small & Sons for
the men of the Atlantic fleet. It was of
leucothoe sprays gilded, with American
Beauty roses cascading from the center,
and beneath this were orchids, the whole
wreath being entwined with ribbons.
This was one of the most massive pieces
ever seen in Washington and it stood

out in bold relief at the tomb of the
admiral.

J. H. Small & Sons had the bulk of
the business incident to the funeral and,
in addition, had charge of the floral
pieces, which required seven large trucks
for transportation to the cemetery.
Among their own fifty to sixty pieces
was a 12-foot cross furnished for the
Navy Department, a wreath of orchids
made up for Mrs. Dewey, two wreaths
for the Senate and House of Eepresenta-
tives, a wreath of magnolia leaves witli
a spray of white heather across the cen-
ter for Mrs. George Vanderbilt, and
pieces for the Eussian, Japanese anu
Chinese ambassadors, and many other
people well known in public and social
life.

Gudes Have Many Orders.

Gude Bros. Co. filled orders for
nearly a score of wreaths and sprays.
Among the handsomest and most elabo
rate of these was a wreath of magnoFia
leaves and yellow roses. A wreath ol'
magnolia leaves, freesias and white
sweet peas was excellent. A vase of
American Beauty roses, a spray of Mock
roses, a wreath of laurel and palm leaves
and a wreath of orchids also were out of
the ordinary.

George C. Shaffer had a number or
large pieces, the most commented on of
which was a reproduction of a six-
pounder gun and gun mount. This piece
was furnished for Columbia Lodge No.
174 I. A. of M., Naval Gun Factory Ma-
chinists. The barrel of the cannon was
nearly five feet long and stood three feet
in height. The barrel was made of white
carnations, tulips and narcissi, with the
projections that would hold the gun on
the mount, at the center, outlined by
clusters of yellow daisies. The gun
mount was made of rubrum lilies and
maidenhair.

Another piece which was effective,
furnished by Mr. Shaffer for the Society
of Manila Bay, was an anchor made of
rubrum and calla lilies, asparagus and
maidenhair. Cattleyas tipped the flukes
and stock and aided in forming the ring
at the top of the anchor.

In addition this store furnished a
wreath for the District of Columbia
Spanish War Veterans. A spray of
Easter lilies was the offering of the
office of the Navy Department of which
Admiral Dewey had been the presiding
officer. A spray of white roses and sin-
gle violets was made for the Women's
Section, Navy League of the United
States.

Many Other Good Pieces.

The Washington Floral Co. furnislied
a 6-foot standing anchor made largely of
rubrum lilies, violets and lily of the val-
ley. A large number of cattleyas a! so
were used and Ward carnations and Rv.s-
sell roseg were employed effectively in
the work done at this store.

Marche & Co. furnished for the Ma-
rine Corps a huge panel eight feet long
and six feet wide. This panel was mode
by covering a board of those dimensi'ins
with silk and placing in the center a 5-
foot anchor made of Double White Kil'
larney roses. In each of the four cor-
ners was a large star formed with clus-
ters of narcissi. At the top were droop-
ing palm leaves. Marche & Co. also fur'
nished two anchors, two standing
wreaths and an urn which, with its pf"'
estal, was five feet in height. The nrn
was made of white narcissi and tulips-
In the urn was a cluster of Hadley ro^ es,

while the pedestal was covered with a
cluster made up of six dozen Easlier
lilies. The whole was backed by an ar-
rangement of palm leaves.

Z. D. Blackistone had quite a number
of exceptionally fine pieces, chief among
which was a 7-foot wreath made of or-
chids, American Beauty roses, violets
and white carnations, furnished for the
General Staflf of the United States
Army. A basket of Mock roses and
Easter lilies was made up for the General
Board of the Navy Department and
there were a number of pieces for pri-
vate individuals which bore the ship-
ping card of the Blackistone store.

One piece from this establishment,
made for Paymaster General of the
Navy McGowan, represented the Ad-
miral's flag. The body of the flag was
made of violets. When it came time to
put in the four stars which are on the
flag, the man making up the design was
sort of puzzled; neither carnations nor
narcissi gave the desired appearance.
At the suggestion of the Paymaster Gen-
eral himself Easter lilies were used after
one petal was stripped from each. The
center of each lily was filled with a car-
nation.

George H. Cooke, the Du Pont Flower
Shop and others of the downtown estab-
lishments each received a share of the
business. ^^_ C. L. L.

An Anchor by Shaffer for the Hero of Manila Bay.

anniversary celebrations on the part of
commercial establishments are bound to
become more frequent, but as yet in this
country seventy-fifth business birthdays
are almost as rare as billionaires. This
year, however, the diamond anniversary
falls to the lot of Louis Menand, Florist,
of Albany, N. Y., who conducts a busi-
ness that was established during the less
strenuous but healthier days when John
Tyler occupied the White House and
Abe Lincoln was yet to be heard from.
On this propitious occasion '' Louis
Menand has sent his customers a pretty
billet-doux, in which he thanks them
for tlieir patronage in the past and their
good will in the future. In harmony
with the event, the message is embel-
lished at the top with a colored repro-
duction of forget-me-nots.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Savanna, 111. — The Savanna Green-
house Co. has made an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, C. M. Wal-
ter being the trustee. There arc se-
cured mortgage claims against the cor-
poration amounting to $10,000, but the

unsecured claims are not large and nine-
ty per cent of them are held by local
creditors. Trustee Walter will continue
the business to see if it can be put on
a paying basis, of which he has con-
siderable confidence, but if this proves
not to be the case the assets will be
liquidated. The Savanna Greenhouse
Co. was incorporated in 1912 to take
over the business formerly conducted
under the name of Lambert & Dunn
and later by Joseph W. Dunn. The cap-
ital stock was $20,000 and the incor-
porators were J. W. Dunn, F. L. Bliss,
W. W. Gillespie and Chesley M. Walter.

Rock Island, 111.— A defective boiler
due is believed to have caused the blaze
that destroyed the boiler shed and dam-
aged one greenhouse of the H. H. Hens-
ley range early on the morning of Jan-
uary 13. Mr. Hensley fired the boiler
about midnight and again at 3 o'clock,
hut did not notice anything wrong at
that time. One hour later, however,
the fire was well under way and the
smokestack had collapsed. The damage
amounted to about $1,200 and is a to-
tal loss, as Mr. Hensley carried no in-
surance.

Berried Solanums.

In making your sowings of seeds,
do not overlook the necessary Jerusalem
cherries. Select one or two large ber-
ries on specially strong plants. They
will contain all the seeds you will need,
as practically every one is sure to germi-
nate. Transplant these into flats. Later
pot off singly and set the plants out-
doors about the middle of May. Do
not trouble to root cuttings; they are
not worth the candle. It is true they
will ripen fruit earlier than seedlings,
but there is no special sale for them
until Christmas and then seedling plants
are well ripened in a cool greenhouse.
Furthermore, plants grown from cut-
tings are too squatty, so why waste time
with them?

Hardy Perennials from Seed.

Perhaps yon want to work up a large
sto^k of hardy perennials and would like
sa2|tt^»' plants by fall. If so, get a
go<lft fefl^h of seeds sown now. Later
prielt''<S''9-ifiedlings off into other flats.
Tbey.. fete.igp into coldframes in April
a aij^^jfe^fflwP ntit can be done by May 1.
Tl^l^B^^lf^Ve them a long season for
gij^wil^r.' .Bnch perennials as delphini-
unisl^* BCJuil^gias, Shasta daisies, lupines,
Loijelia cardinalis, lychnis, hardy primu-
las, galegas, campanulas other than C.
Medium, poppies, pyrethrums and a
number of others can be advantageously
sown now.

Deciduous Shrubs for Forcing.

It is somewhat early to start forcing
any decrduous shrubs for Easter, but
there always is a call for nicely flow-
ered plants earlier than that date, and
if you can house small batches of such
plants as lilacs, deutzias, Azalea mollis,
Prunus triloba, Malus floribunda, la-
burnums, Viburnum Opulus, Crataegus,
wistarias, forsythias, or any others of
this class of stock, it will come in well
for store decoration, and you could, no
doubt, dispose of some at the green-
houses. It is better not to force too
hard, but give the plants good light,
plenty of water, frequent springings
and, as flowers open, move them to a
cooler house.

Marguerites for Easter.

Eoses, azaleas, genistas, lilies, hydian-
geas, spira-as and bulbous plants may
be said to be the leading plants sold
at Easter each year, with smaller num-
bers of ericas, camellias, bougainvilltas,
acacias and a few other plants. We
do not see many marguerites except as
cut flowers, yet what could be finer
than a well shaped and well flowered
marguerite plant? The yellow varieties
do not make shapely ones, but the white
ones arc much better to handle. To
have them in good bloom for Easter
give the plants their last pinch now.
If they are starved at the root, give
them a shift, use a rich compost and
grow them in a temperature of 48 to
r^O degrees at night. If any leaf miners
appear, spraj' the foliage with Black

Leaf 40, or Nico-Fume juice properly
diluted, and they will be speedily de-
stroyed.

Boses for Easter.

All rambler and baby rambler roses
intended for Easter should now be un-
der glass. Do not give the plants too
much warmth at first; 50 degrees will
suflSce; but once they are well started
they will stand a few degrees more
warmth. Hybrid perpetual roses, such
as Brunner, Laing, Jacqueminot, Frau
Karl Dr-yschkr and others, should be
pruned bac3fe now and the plants started
in a cool liou^. They will be on time
if grown in a temperature of 52 to 54
degrees at night and will be of much
better quality than if grown warmer.

Standard Heliotropes.

Have you ever grown any standard
or tree heliotropes? If not, try a few.
Your customers are sure to admire them.
Salable plants cannot be produced, how-
ever, for thj^- season 's trade. Seedlings
are more vigorous than cuttings. Select
some of the strongest, pot them off sin-
gly, rub off any side shoots and remove
any blooms as they appear. Keep the
main stem securely staked and when
it has grown from eighteen to thirty-
six inches high, according to how tall
you want your standards, pinch out the
top. This will need several additional
pinchings from time to time and before
fall you will have nice little heads.
Carry these over in a fairly warm
greenhouse and do not let them starve
at the root. They will make handsome
plants for selling in the spring of 1918.
Thes^e standards are fine for dotting in
flower beds, as indeed are standard
j^eraniuins, lantanas and fuchsias.

Ten Weeks' Stocks.

Ten weeks' stocks are favorite
Memorial day flowers. It cannot be
said that they are particularly popular
flowers on the market except at that
time. Timing a crop of stocks for
Memorial day is not easy. For in-
stance, last year, owing to the pro-
longed winter and cold spring, many
stoicks flowered too late. The plants
cannot be forced hard. It is, there-
fore, a good plan to start the seeds
soon after the middle of January for a
Memorial day crop. The large-flowered
ten weeks' stocks are the best for forc-
ing, and for bunching bright colors have
first call; but almost all shades will sell
well. Sow the seed in shallow flats.
If you have any mice around, they are
sure to locate them and will soon ruin
every seed. Therefore take precautions
to cover the flats with squares of glass
to exclude pests.

Show Pelargoniums

Keep these showy plants in a cold
house. They do not need over 45 de-
grees at night. The majority will need
repotting now, or quite soon. Finish
all pinchings now. After that allow all
flower buds to come along. These
pelargoniums are wonderfully showy
subjects and the wonder is that more
are not grown as pot plants. Objections
raised against them are that they do not
bloom all summer, that they will not
stand outdoor culture as bedding plants
and that aphis has a special fondness
for them. We have many other plants
to which similar objections might be
raised, but they remain popular pot
plants, as these will continue to be.

Newark, N. Y.— Mr. and Mrs. George
C. Perkins last week issued invitations
to the marriage of their daughter. Miss
Dorothy Perkins, to E. B. Estabrook,
of Germantown, Pa., which will be sol
emnized January 27. Miss Perkins'
name is familiar to the floricultural
world as the name of the well known
climbing rose, which was raised and in
troduced some years ago by the Jack
son & Perkins Co. and named in honor
of Mr. Perkins' daughter.

every British gardener in America, has
been taken over for the use of the
Australian Imperial forces. The R. H. S.
shows will be held in the drill hall of
the London .Si^ottisli.

London, England.— Tlic Carnation So-
ciety held its annual exhibition early
in December. It was not so large as
before the war, but fine stock was
staged. It will be of interest in Amer-
ica to note that the best pink was Pink
Sensation, the best scarlet Aviator, the
best white White Perfection and the
second best white White Wonder. The
prize for the best fi>a3 vases in five vari-
eties was won by an exhibitor who
showed Mrs. Ward, Triumph, White En-
chantress, Enchantress Supreme and
Beacon.

Worthing, England.— In a successf 1 1

duced to prove that in the height < f
the season the quantity of produi e
handled at Worthing station average s
from 2,500 to r.,000 packages each Mo.i-
day, Wednesday and Friday, with n
third to a fourth of that quantity < "

TESTING OANNAS IN TENNESSEE.

[This is tlie last of four articles pertaining to
canna tests conducted near Nasliville, Tenn.
The preceding three articles were published in
The Review of November 9, December 7 and
28.]

The former articles in this series con-
tained reports of the tests of white,
variegated, pink and red cannas, with
a few words of recommendation for one
foliage canna, named Greenback. This
article has reference chiefly to the yel-
low varieties, but closes with some
remarks about the qualities that may
be, or should be, expected in "the canna
of the future. ' '

We are a little nearer a good yellow
canna than we were a few years ago.
We have several good ones in the spot-
ted kinds, so that we need not depend
longer on the old standby, Florence
Vaughan. We also have several good
solid-colored yellows that do not fade
so badly as the older varieties.

The Spotted Yellows.

Queen Helen, at its best, is a wonder-
fully good canna, as large as Italia,
and does not fade badly. It would be a
fine variety if it were only fixed in
type, but it is not. Some of the foliage
is bronze with green stripes. Some shoots
arc almost entirely bronze, but most
of them are entirely green. Some of
the blooms are scarlet and some are
striped, but the majority are yellow,
spotted red. The flowers do not stand
the wind much better than Italia, but
the color is a deeper yellow.

Elizabeth Hoss, in our opinion, is the
best of the spotted yellow cannas yet
produced. It is about as large as any
canna except the best orchid-flowering
sorts. In fact, growing only two rods
from Queen Helen, the flowers were
nearly as large and of much better sub-
stance, so that they lasted much longer.

Koenigin der Gelben, though a high-
priced canna, was a decided disappoint-
ment to us. The flowers are no better
in color than Richard Wallace, are not
nearly so good in quality and fade
badly, and the plants are not such good
growers.

A Real Yellow.

Another season with Princeton has
convinced us that it is the best yellow
in sight. It is yellow — not sulphur, nor
canary, nor even chrome, but yellow.
Tf l^ ^ ^"^^^ bloomer and a good grower.
Jt does not fade lighter, but in the cooler
part of the season fades reddish in the
center. Its price is all that will keep
It trom becoming popular at once.

Golden Gate is good; almost equal to
' rinceton, which it much resembles.

Brilliant is better than Yellow Bird,
and possibly better than Richard Wal-
lace or Gustav Gumpper. It is good,
but not the best.

Richard Wallace and Gustav Gump-
per are doubtless the best two yellow
cannas today for the general planter
who will not pay the price of the better
varieties, and still desires a good yel-
low bedder.

We agree with the introducer that
Favorite is much superior to the older
varieties of the Florence Vaughan type.
We have not decided which we prefer
— this or Elizabeth IIoss. In a large

bed this canna did marvelously well
this season.

Cream and Orange Shades.

The Gem is certainly a good cream-
colored canna, with light carmine spots.
It is about the color of Flag of Truce at
its yellowest. It does well where a
canna of its color is needed.

Goethe is a dandy orange yellow, not
too orange. A bed of this has the ap-
pearance of deep pumpkin yellow. It
is a good one in every respect — some-
thing we cannot say of most of the re-
cent foreign introductions.

Orange Bedder is the- best orange

canna to date, from every point of view»
at least in our climate. It should be-
come popular and be widely used.

Yellow Bird was to be as superior
among the yellows as Firebird was sup-
posed to be among the reds. It is just
as decidedly a disappointment as Fire-
bird, but in a different way. Its foliage
is healthy enough, but the flower i»
little more than a sulphur. Even the
size is nothing to speak of.

The Colors of Dawn.

Aurora is a new variety from L. H.
Read, of Alabama, and is likely to be
the best he has produced. It is one of
the prettiest cannas we have ever seen.
Its color is best described by its name;
it is a play of bronze, pink, red and
orange on a creamy yellow ground, the
colors being in the throat and middle
of the flower.

Jane Addams is one of the three or
four best yellow cannas. It is really
yellow, and is good in every way. It
will be cheaper this coming season and
should be widely planted. It is much i
better than the older yellows.

Juanita is one of the most beautiful
cannas. The foliage is a golden bronze,
while the freely produced flowers are
a deep yellow with an orange tinge. It
fades rather too reddish in the throat,
but this does not spoil its beauty. We
have a seedling from it that is identical
except that it does not have this fault.

The Canna of the Future.

Breeders are working for cannas that
will produce flowers with wider petals
and at the same time strong enough not
to break with the wind or fade with
the sun. They will be self -cleaning;
that is, the flower will break off and
fall when it begins to fade. The best
variety in this regard that we know of
at present is Lafayette.

The bloom shoot will break into more
than three trusses and this will pro-
long the blooming period of each shoot,
adding much to the value of the plant
for bedding. Flag of Truce always
throws four good heads, and one or two
of the other Wintzer varieties do the
same. We have a seedling of Olympic
that uniformly breaks into six heads,
and a seedling of Flag of Truce that
breaks into eight, one coming after an-
other.

The flowers will have more than four
petals if it is desired. Mr. Wintzer has
had seedlings that were double, as
shown in a photograph reproduced in
The Review some time ago. This year
we have a pure j-ellow seedling that

not large and the habit is not what we
desire, but we hope to breed something
desirable from it, though it has been
sterile thus iar. But culture will tell,
and the double canna is not far i^i the
future. Floyd Bralliar.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

The aniuiiil meeting and exhibition
takes place at the Olaypool hotel, next
wepk Wednesday anil Thursday, Jan-
uary o\ and February 1. As this is one
of tlie great centers of carnation grow-
ing, and is accessible from Chicago,
Cleveland, St. Louis and other populous
centers, and as good delegations are ex-
pected from the east, it looks like be-
ing a record meeting.

AMERICAN SWEET PEA SOCIETY.

A meeting of the executive committee
was held at the Hotel Breslin, New
York, January 18, there being present
President Geo. W. Kerr, Wm. Gray, W.
A. Sperling and J. Harrison Dick. A
letter was read from Harry A. Bunyard,
who has been secretary of the society
from its inception, tendering his resig-
nation. This was accepted with regret.
Wm. Gray, Newport, R. I., was appoint-
• ed secretary to carry on the work until
the annual meeting in July. As this
left a vacancy on the executive com-
mittee, J. H. StalTord, Bar Harbor, Me.,
was named. The schedule and bulletin
were discussed, and these will be issued
as one jaiblieation by March 1 at the
latest.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The regular weekly meeting of the
National Rose Festival committee was
held in the Bellevue-Stratford hotel,
Philadelpliia, January 18. The attend-
ance was large and enthusiastic. A
committee of five was appointed to take
charge of a rose garden to cover 1,000
square feet of space in the center of the
First Regiment armory hall at the com-
ing rose festival. This garden will be
known as the American Rose Society's
Garden and is intended to be educa-
tional ami beautiful. The committee
consists of John P. Habermehl, chair-
man; Robert Kift, Ernest F. Zieger,
William K. Harris, Robert A. Craig and
the presidents of the Florists' Club and
Rose Society ex-officio. Mark P. Mills
made a ringing speech in support of the
festival that sold 1,300 trade tickets
right then and there. Phil.

National Flower Show.

Under the direction of Chairman
George Asmus, of the National Flower
Show committee, the work of the Fifth
National Flower Show is well advanced.
Floor plans of the Coliseum are being
prepared, showing the location of the
trade exhibits, and will be sent out at
an early date. The first preliminary
plant schedule has been distributed and
extra copies may be procured upon ap-
plication to the secretary, 53 West
Twenty-eighth street, New York. The
schedule committee will be pleased to
receive suggestions as to how and where
this schedule may be improved, and
such suggestions and recommendations
will be acted upon by the schedule com-
mittee at their next meeting, and in-
cluded in the final schedule, if approved.

The guarantee fund, which is to be
$10,000, will soon be completed. Any

member desiring to subscribe to this
fund should do so at once.

The committee would also esteem do-
nations of special prizes, the same to
be offered under the names of the
donors. Kindly, if possible, select the
subject for your award from the pre-
liminary schedules, thus relieving our
obligations to the prize fund to that
extent.

Special prizes have been received
from the Cottage Gardens Nurseries,
Eureka, Cal., for the best display of
American-grown Azalea Indica. The
plants must have been growing at least
three years in the United States. The
collection must consist of not less than
six plants, five plants of each variety.
The premiums are $50, $30 and $20.

John Lewis Childs. Flowerfield, L. I.,
offers for Calla Elliottiana, twenty-five
plants in bloom, premiums of $20 and
$12; for twelve plants in bloom, $10
and $6.

Hail Insurance.

Secretary J. G. Esler, of the Florists'
Hail Association, calls my attention to
a typographical error which appears in
the "Suggestions to State Vice-Presi-
dents," sent out from this office a few
days ago. The paragraph reads that
the Florists' Hail Association now un-
derwrites risks on 4,000,000 square feet
of glass. This should read 44,000,000
square feet of glass.

Milwaukee, Wis. — As the dates of the
carnation convention at Indianapolis
conflict with that of the Milwaukee
Florists' Club's meeting. President W.

meeting from February 1 to February
8. A number of club members expect
to attend the Indianapolis convention.

THE NEW BEGONIAS.

WMth reference to the article in The
Review for January 11, entitled "Mrs.
Heal Begonias for Holiday Sales,"
this type of begonia, the result of cross-
ing B. socotrana and the tuberous varie-
ties, is known all over Europe as "win-
ter-flowering begonias."

The first of the winter-flowering be-
gonias to receive recognition was the
variety named John Heal, October 13,
1885, and it was not until ten years
later that the variety Mrs. Heal was
recognized. While a highly recommend-
able variety of the winter-flowering be-
gonias, still there are, at the present
time, so many varieties that are much
more beautiful and much more desir-
able, that it would not at all do to call
these begonias, as you did, Mrs. Heal
begonias. To do so would tend to de-
ceive the readers into believing that
the two types are distinctly two dif-
ferent types. We are enclosing one of
our pamphlets giving some further facts
about winter-flowering begonias.

Since this country seems to have be-
come wide-awake to the enormous pos-
sibilities of these new types of begonias,
it is to be regretted that you used, in

your otherwise interesting article, the
misnomer. John Scheepers, Inc.

PRIMULA POISONING.

The inquiries and answers in The Re-
view dealing with poisoning from Prim-
ula obconica plants and giving reme-
dies for this trouble, have been of spe-
cial interest to me, as I have had some
experience along these lines. I have
grown primulas for the last thirteen
years, but have never been poisoned.
One of my assistants, however, was
poisoned and suffered severely on the
hands, arms and neck. He made sev-
eral calls on the doctor, but the medico's
methods failed. At this time I recalled
that I had had a severe case of poison-
ing from the common ivy, and that a
complete cure had been effected by the
use of sugar of lead, one teaspoonful
to three quarts of water. I took this
recipe to my employee, and in a few
days the mixture stopped the irritation
and stamped out the poison. Since then
I have often used this sugar-of-lead
solution after working with Primula
obconica, and I think every greenhouse
operator ought to keep some of it on
hand. W. W. Walker.

EARLY MUMS BETTER U\.TE?

Please advise me when is the best
time to flower Goldeu Glow and Early
Snow mump. That is, at Avhat time do
the blooms pay best? When should
these two varieties be planted from
2%-inch pots and which of the buds
should be taken, the crown or terminal
bud? J. S.— 111.

It is difficult to advise when to have
Golden Glow and Early Snow mums in
bloom to pay best — every man is more
familiar with bis own market and bet-
ter able to work out his own salvation
in that way. I will assume that J. S. de-
sires to have plants in bloom by Octo-
ber 1. Golden Glow, of course, can be
gotten into flower any time during the
year, but I have always felt it does not
pay to have yellow mums at that Lime
in the fall when there are bewildering
assortments of yellow outdoor flowers
to select from.

After the plants are propagated in
February and March and planted out
on the bench when ready in May or the
first week in June, it will then be a
question of taking the proper bud. The
question of crown and terminal buds
does not enter into this case, because
we are looking for early flowers, and
therefore we have to take the crown
bud. If the bud is taken as soon as
possible after August 1, this will allow
the bud eight or nine weeks to de-
velop, which usually is the time re-
quired, and that will bring the crop in
just the time the first frost has wiped
out the outdoor flowers.

Chas. H. Totty.

LATE PLANTED MUMS.

Please inform me if it is possible to
get good blooms from chrysanthemum
plants set in ground beds August 1.
When should I buy the plants? Would
June 1 be time enough? Which would
be the better at that time, rooted cut-
tings or 214-inch plants? How large
should the plants be to set August 1;
that is, from pots of what size should
they be taken?

For a beginner, what varieties are
the best and easiest to grow? I want
fifty per cent of them yellow and twen-
ty-five per cent each of white and pink.
I would like to have the plants bloom
as early and as late as possible; that
IS, a succession of blooms in all varie-
ties. What are the proper night and
day temperatures? How often should
liquid manure be applied, what kind is
best for this purpose and what is the
"ght proportion? Should the plants be
trimmed to one or two buds? What is
a fair price for the ones trimmed to
two blooms? L. K. M. — Pa.

You can have fair success with plants
set out in August, providing you pro-
cure good plants to set out at that time.
1 hey should be from 2 1^ -inch pots. T
would not suggest buying rooted cut-
ijngs in June, as the weather at that
iJme IS hot and much loss ensues, par-

ticularly if the cuttings have to be
shipped any distance. It would be a
good deal better for you to ordef pot
plants when you want them.

When stock is planted as late as Au-
gust 1, the number of varieties suitable
will be limited. For the fifty per cent
yellow I would suggest Yellow Chad-
wick, Dolly Dimple, Mrs. Morgan;
twenty-five per cent white. White Chad-
wick, William Turner, Thanksgiving
Queen, Autocrat, Jeanne Nonin; twenty-
five per cent pink, W. T. Brock, Pink
Chadwick, Wells' Late Pink, Maud
Dean.

You say you want plants that will
bloom as early and as late as possible,
to have a succession of blooms. It is
impossible to have early flowers when
planting is done as late as August 1.
•Those I have mentioned will bloom sat-
isfactorily on late buds. Plants must
have a season of growth of eight or
nine weeks before the bud is set. If
you are looking for early flowers yon
will have to get plants in June, of early
sorts.

A night temperature of 40 to 50 de-
grees and a day temperature of 50 to
55 degrees, with ample ventilation, are
proper. Plants set out as late as Au-
gust 1 should be kept to one bloom, or
flower, as otherwise they will not give
good results.

Prices for the blooms will be gauged
entirely by the market to which they

are shipped and the quality of the
stock. The prices will range from 5 to
30 cents per flower.

Liquid manure may be applied to the
plants during the growing season, after
the stock is well established in the soil.
If applied before the stock is growing,
it is liable to do more harm than good.
If you have oyer used liquid manure on
previous crops, you will know the right
proportion. It is always better to err
on the side of weakness than strength"
when applying liquid fertilizers. siiM?e*
too strong applications will destroy the
root action by killing the root hairs.

Chas. H. Totty.

THE FALL BEAUTY MUM.

Major Bonnaffon was originated in
the Dorner establishment at La Fay-
ette, Ind., and it has put more money
in growers' pockets than has any other
one variety ever introduced. So when
the Dorners state that they have devel-
oped another variety of exceptional
(commercial value the growers will not
fail to watch its progress. Fall Beauty
is pink, with a shading of cream at the
base of the petals and in the center of
the flower. -It is of the reflexed type,
as shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. But the chief merit of the variety
is expected to be found in its lateness
and in its keeping qualities.

Washington, Pa. — Feeling the need
of organized cooperation among them-
selves, the florists here are forming a
club. Albert Marland and others are
to prepare the by-laws, etc.

Macomb, 111. — F. E. Bonham has moved
liis store into handsomer and larger
(juarters. The formal opening was well
attended, the special display including
a large variety of orchids.

The Florists' Review

January 25, 1917.

eK)OD WORK UNDER WAY.

Officers Elected.

At the meeting of the Nebraska State
Florists' Society at Lincoln January 16
the following officers were elected:

President — C. H. Frfey, of Lincoln.

Vice-president — G. M. Johnston, of
Beatrice.

Secretary-treasurer — Lewis Hender-
son, of Omaha.

Directors — W. B. Yule, of Lincoln; J.
R. Simanton, of Fallr, City; W. E. Da-
vidson, of Holdrege.

The Business Session.

The attendance was the largest in the
history of the organization, there being
members of the trade present from four
states.

Perhaps the most important feature
of the meeting was the action which
followed a discussion of credits and dis-
counts. A committee consisting of Roy
Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, la.; J. S.
Wilson, of Des Moines, la.; Frank X.
Stuppy, of St. Joseph, Mo.; C. H. Frey,
of Lincoln, Neb.; C. P. Mueller, of
Wichita, Kan., and J. J. Hess, of Omaha,
was appointed to educate the florists of
the states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska to the fact that twenty per
cent discount is the limit of safety and
good business in any case where an
agent turns in orders.

J, J. Hess, C. H. Green and Lewis
Henderson were appointed on a com-
mittee to draw up resolutions on the
death of H. H. Frey, one of the pioneer
florists of the state of Nebraska.

A resolution was adopted expressing
the appreciation of the society for the
fact that a Nebraskan, J. J. Hess, of
Omaha, was regularly elected treasurer
of the S. A. F. at the Houston conven-
tion, after having been appointed by
the board of directors to fill an unex-
pired term.

0. H. Frey read an interesting paper
on the history of Carnation Nebraska.

The Banquet.

The annual banquet was held in the
evening, President Ed. Williams, of
Grand Island, presiding. The following
men responded to toasts: Charles Green,
Fremont, State vice-president of the So-
ciety of American Florists, "Member-
ship in the National Society;" J. J.
Hess, Omaha, ''American Florists;"
Chas. Mueller, Wichita, Kan., "Produc-
tion;" P. J. Foley. Chicago, "The Affil-
iated Societv;" Rov Wilcox, Council
Bluffs, "Cost of Production;" J. S.
Wilson, Des Moines, la., "The Floral
Industry;" M. H. Lcvine, New York,
"Cooperation.' '

P. J. Foley, who had been elected
to honorary membership earlier in the
day, offered a prize, to be awarded at
the meeting next year, for the best vase
of Carnation Nebraska, which variety
was originated by C. H. Frey, of Lin-
coln, and which was used to decorate
the banquet tables. Mr. Foley was a
resident of Nebraska in the early
eighties, having had a homestead in
Frontier county.

The Exhibits.

An excellent display of cut flowers
was staged in the Auditorium and the
following prizes were awarded:

Vase of fifty roses — Lewis Henderson,
Omaha, first; Simanton & Pence, Falls
City, second.

Vase of fifty carnations — J. K. Hilt-
ner, Lincoln, first; Simanton & Pence,
second.

Display of 100 sweet peas — J. K. Hilt-
ner, first; Simanton & Pence, second.

Display of cut flowers — Simanton &
Pence, first; Lewis Henderson, second.

The day following the meeting was-
devoted to local hospitalities, the vis-
itors inspecting the greenhouse estab-
lishments of Lincoln and receiving en-
tertainment at each.

I^BOGNOSTICATION.

For the benefit of the florist pessimist
I wish to state that this spring's retail
business will prove to be the best in
many seasons.

The general public has now entered
on the more serious part of the widter,
during which the rollicking merriment
of debutante parties and holiday festivi-
ties are displaced by large formal din-
ner parties, exclusive balls and impor-
tant social events. With all of this,
many delightful affairs are being
planned and the call for flowers between
now and Lent will be the largest in the
trade's experience. You can take it
from me. Samuel Seligman.

HYACINTHS FOR EASTER.

What length of time do hyacinths re-
quire to flower and to be ready for sale
as plants, say as Easter plants f

W. V. R.— Minn.

WANT A QUARANTINE.

According to C. L. Marlatt, chairman
of the Federal Horticultural Board, who
spoke before the American Forestry As-
sociation at Washington January 19, im-
ported tree and plant diseases destroy
$500,000,000 worth of property every
vear and the insect pests eat up another
$500,000,000.

This, in the opinion of some of those
])resent, was the clinching argument for
the enforcement of a quarantine against
the importation of plants and seedlings,
for a time at least. This question was
argued for and against all through the
sessions of the conference, but no agree-
ment could be reached.

Hyacinths require six to eight weeks
from potting time until they have pro-
gressed sufficiently to house. Allow at
this season four weeks more until flow-
ering. Later in the season a shorter
time will flower them. Hyacinths placed
in pots or flats in October or November
can be held back until Easter if you
have a good cold cellar. C. W.

SMILAX CULTURE.

When shall I sow smilax seeds to
have good, strong 2-inch plants in July?

L. C. B.— Kan.

Fresh smilax seeds sown in March
will give a good 2-inch pot plant in
July, but it is preferable to sow seeds
in February and to shift the young
stock from 2 to .3-inch pots, thus pro-
viding stronger stock for planting.

BOARD WANTS POWER.

Trade Makes United Protest.

An eftort is being made by the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board to secure the
enactment of an amendment to the Fed-
oral Horticultural Quarantine Law
which will give the board unlimited
]io\verp. This measure is being opposed
by William F. Gude, national represen-
tative of the S. A. F., who, with Curtis
Xyo Smith, attorney for the American
Seed Trade Association and general
manager of the American Association
of Nurserymen; Wm. Pitkin, of Chase
Bros.; Thomas Meehan, of Dresher-
town, Pa., and James McHutchison, of
New York, has been pulling strings here,
there and everywhere to prevent such
<lrastic action being taken.

"For the last week or ten days," said
Mr. Gude, "there has been considerable
agitation here as a result of the general
scare which seems to have afflicted the
nurserymen throughout the United
States, as well as all of the importers of
horticultural goods. The suggestion
from the Federal Horticultural Board
to the Senate Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry, in the form of an amend-

ment to give to the board what seems
to tiie nurserymen and importers to be
arbitrary powers to quarantine any-
thing, anywhere and at any time, af-
fords great alarm.

Mr. Oude Thinks Things Safe.

' ' Tiie agricultural appropriation bill
went through the House of Representa-
tives without any such objectionable
feature attached to it. The question is
now pending before the Senate commit-
tee. I have had numerous conferences
with the secretary of the committee and
with Dr. Kellerman, of the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board, and the amendment at
this writing, in my opinion, is in such
shape that the nurserymen and import-
ers need not fear anything more drastic
than they have been facing since 1912,
irrespective of how drastic this meas-
ure may seem."

The Proposed Amendment.

The amendment proposed is as fol

lows, the parts in capital letters repre

scnting what the board is seeking to

have enacted:

That section 8 of an Act entitled An Act to
Uegulate the Importation of Nursery Stock anil
Other Plants and Plant Products; to Enable tin-

section, he shall, after the notice to interested
parties, give a public hearing under such rules
jind regulations as he shall prescribe, at which
•jioaring any interested party may appear and be
iieard, either in person or by attorney.

The Federal Horticultural Board,
through its chairman, C. E. Marlatt, has
started an agitation for the complete
exclusion of seedling and other plant
imports "at least for a time," as Mr.
Marlatt told the American Forestry
Association at its meeting last week.

A "MIXTURE" FOR FUMIGATING.

I have purchased about twelve pounds
of a fumigant, the label on which reads
-T-s follows: "Cvanide-Chloride-Car-
bonate Mixture— Fused. Eleven, and
one-fifth to twelve per cent cyanogen.
Equivalent to twenty-eight to thirty
per cent potassium cyanide. Sodium
<'yanide, twenty-one to twenty-three per
<'ent. Inert ingredients, seventy-seven
to seventy-nine per cent."

I have been using for fumigating my
greenhouse seven ounces of potassium
vyanide, ninety-eight to ninety-nine per
<"ent pure, and fourteen ounces of sul-
I'hunc acid, in twenty-eight ounces of
water. Can you tell me what quantity
«t the cyanide-chloride-carbonate to use
'0 obtain the same result as I get from

H. O. BRAMM.

FROM the pungent odor of a tannery to the jdeasant fragrance of a green-
house—that was the transition made by H. G. Bramm, president of the Bris-
tol Floral Co., at Bristol, Tenn., and vice-president of the Tennessee State Florists'
Association for Sullivan county. Though he may not have found every phase of
the florists' trade as agreeable as the i^erfume of the flowers, he permitted none
of the objectionable features to hinder his success. He was born at Port Jervis,
N Y. in 1866. For some vears he was a tanner in New York city, but removed
to Bristol in ISO."?, continuing in the leather trade until 1908, when he purchased
the establishment of the I). S. Simpson Floral Co., with its 10,000 feet of glass.
He thus founded tlic Bristol Floral Co., which now has 30,000 feet of glass in
town and 10,000 feet on a lOacrc suburban tract. East and best, he has a wife
and two daughters.

the ninety eight to ninetyuiue per cent
potassium cyanide, and can you state
what jiropor'tions of sulphuric acid and
water should be used ?

C. J. S.— Fa.

From tlie analysis given, it would ap-
pear that the "cyanidechloride-car-
bonate mixture" contains about twcn-
tv-seven per cent as much cyanogen as
does the ninety-eight per cent potas-
sium cyanide, and hence, to equal the
latter, 'about three and one-half times
as much should be used, or approximate-
ly twenty four ounces where seven
ounces of potassium cyanide are re-
quired. However, although it would ap-
pear that the cyanide-chloride-carbon-
ate mixture is in the form of sodium
cyanide, and that a portion of the in-
ert ingredients is in the form of sodium
chloride and sodium carbonate, the ex-
act amounts of each of these and other
ingredients are not stated, and whether
thev are such as will be likely to injure

plants, or to lossen the eft'ect of the
cyanide, cannot be determined without
a chemical analysis or an actual trial.
So far as sodium cyanide is concerned,
it may be substituted for potassium
cyanide and used in the same quanti
ties and with the same amounts of wa-
ter and sulphuric acid. The present
price of potash makes the cost of cya-
nide of potassium almost jirohibitive, if.
in fact, it can be obtained at all, and
recourse must be had to sodium cy-
anide.

I would suggest that a sample of the
mixture be sent for analysis to the
State Agricultural College, State Col-
lege, Pa. The chemists there will be
able to say whether it is safe to use
it for fumigating greenhouses, and they
can state the amount that will be re-
quired. T.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

although my observation leads me to
conclude that splitting is much of a con-
stitutional defect. L.

DUOIOIIIIIIIlllllilin

SOUTHERN EASTER LILIES.

At this time of the year growers be-
gin to get anxious about whether or not
their lilies will be on time. The prob-
lem is a little different each year, as
the date of Easter changes and the cli-
matic conditions. are so varied. No hard
and fast rule can be laid down to have
the lilies oft time, simply because it is
impossible here to- carry out any such
rule. If the WQ&,ther were only fairly
steady, either way, it would make the
growers' problem much simpler. Then,
in the more southern sections a grower
must have the bloOms timed almost to
a day, because in th« extreme heat they
do not keep long — a day or so at most.

My experience has been that it is
much better to pttshthe plants at the
finish than to try to hold them back.
I prefer not to see signs of a bud until
five weeks before Easter. At such a
stage a temperature of 65 degrees at
night will develop tlie flowers on time
and in most places this temperature is
easier to maintain than a lower one.
The plants should be from four to ten
inches high now. The main ^equire-
tnents now are a steady temperature,
Bay 60 degrees at night, with a rise of
jo degrees during the day, and a care
not to water too heavily. It is hard to
explain how a plant should appear at a
given time to be in at Easter, but a lit-
tle experience will give the grower an
instinctive knowledge when and how
hard to push or retard a plant.

The giganteum lilies will stand a
night temperature of 75 degrees, if
needed, but avoid dropping the tempera-
ture during the growing period more
than 5 degrees at a time. Unless
the buds are almost ready to open, a
drop of 10 degrees is liable to check
them. L.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

The last batch of carnation cuttings
should be about ready to lift from the
sand. To secure good-sized plants with
which to plant the houses, it is necessary
to start making cuttings early and to
plant them out in the field early. There
are several different ways of liandling
the young stock, but I have never found
one more satisfactory than to first pot
them in 2i4-inch pots. After tliey are
well established and once topped back,
they may be planted out in a bed con-
taining two to two and one-half inches
of soil, rather closely. This is much
quicker than shifting them into 3-inch
pots, and will give better results in less
space. At plantingout time they have
filled practically the whole bench and
only need dividing.

The old plants in the beds will need
more attention, as the days are length-
ening appreciably. At this time of the
year we make it a rule to give a top-
dressing of sheep manure every two or
three weeks, lightly working the surface
soil at the same time. Some attention
also must be paid to keeping the plants
growing in their proper spaces. If the
plants are allowed to wander at their

own sweet will, the spaces between the
rows get filled with foliage, preventing
the air and sunlight from circulating
properly and inviting a fungous attack.
During 'the damp weather we are liable
to have about this time of the year, it
is a good rule to use a little sulphur
paint on a portion of the heating pipes
>onee or twice a week. This checks the
fungus completely.

The carnation mite seems to have
been ipore troublesome this year than
previously. If the spraying with some
of the tobacco extracts is persisted in,
the mite will finally be cleaned out.
Thrips, also, are soon liable to begin
their operations. I have never found any-
thing so good to use to suppress them
as Hammond 's Thrip Juice,diluted forty
to one, as directed. I always pick rather
closely before using and apply the mix-
ture on a cloudy day, leaving it on the
plants at least twenty-four hours be-
fore syringing off. Great attention
should be given to the temperature of
the houses, avoiding extremes both
ways. An even night temperature helps
to keep down the percentage of splits.

BULBS BEFORE FORCING.

We have our tulips in a cellar, where
they made little, if any, root growth
before freezing up. They are covered
with two or three feet of straw. We
thought of putting some manure with
heat over them, to thaw them and start
the root growth before bringing them
into a house of 40 degrees. Would this
be a good plan or would it be better
to bring them directly into the house
of 40 degrees? T, N.— S. D.

Perhaps your bulbs need more water.
Many growers seem to think that if
they soak them when placed in flats or
pans they will need no more until they
are wanted for forcing. This lack of
water causes many failures in bulb
culture. I would remove the straw and
soak the soil well, then cover them with
a layer of sand or fine coal ashes and
leave them alone a while longer. Do
not on any consideration place any
warm manure over them; it would do
more harm than good and would not
help the root action at all. I would give
the tulips a temperature of 50 degrees
when housed, and if you want stems
it will be necessary to darken them in
a case in order to draw them up.

BULB GROWING IN HOLLAND.

[This is an extract- frorr a naner read at a
recent meetinB of the Cleveland Florists' Club,
in Cleveland, O., by John Van Iieeuwen, of Sas-
Hcnheim, Holland. Mr. Van Leeuwen described
the methods used in Holland in the culture of
three groups of bulbous i)lants. Tliis section ot
his paper has reference only to hyacinths. Two
more installments, treating respectively of tu-
lips and narcissi, will be iiublished in future is-
sues of The Review.]

The original of all the hyacinths with
which you are familiar is Hyacinthus
orientalis, and this bulb is a native of
Greece and Asia Minor.

The first hyacinths were all single-
flowered, but toward the end of the sev-
enteenth century double varieties com-
menced to appear and until recently
were most esteemed.

Some Wonderful Prices.

In western Europe hyacinths were in
cultivation prior to 1597, in which year
they were mentioned by Gerard. In a
book which Rea wrote in 1665 several
single and double varieties were alluded
to, as being then in English gardens,
while Justice in 1754 described more
than fifty single and nearly 100 double
varieties as a selection of the best from
the catalogues of five then celebrated
Dutch growers. Some of them surely
brought high enough prices. He men-
tions a single white, called La Reine
des Femmes, of which the list price was
$20 for each bulb. Three doubles, called
Conqueror, Gloria Mundi and King Sol-
omon, at that time could not be bought
under $40, $200 and $250, respectively.
This shows how much double varieties
were in vogue in those days. Since then,
however, all this has changed. Of all
the countries where we now sell bulbs,
France is the only one where double
hyacinths find a ready market, and of
course there is no place left where we
could make such prices as those men-
tioned. Besides that, where then hya-
cinths were grown by only a few, and
in extremely small quantities, the num
ber of growers now is unlimited and
acres upon acres of the bulbs are grown.

The Sandbanks of HoUand.

The question often is asked: "Why
are these bulbs grown in Holland
only?" The answer is that centuries
ago, long before Holland had any his-
tory, the North sea flowed over a large
part of what is now the western section
of the country. Historians sav that
<iuring a great .storm the sea itself threw
up that long row of sandhills, called
aunes, which are now the natural pro-
tection against the sea. Just behind
these dunes a few long, narrow sand-
banks were left, and it is on these old
sandbanks that the hyacinths are grown,
ihe soil is almost pure sand, without
any dust, and onlv mixed with the chalk
ot decayed shells. This peculiar condi-
tion IS the reason that hvacinths can
oe grown successfully in Holland onlv.

Propagation of Hyacinths.

Holland growers have two methods
of propagating hyacinths. One way is
to cut the entire bottom out of the bulb.
The wound thus made is covered with
dry lime, to prevent rotting. The bulbs
are then placed on shelves, bottom up-
ward. These shelves arc put in a spe-
cially constructed bulb house, in which
the temperature is run high, and which
is entirely dark. Soon the young bulbs
commence to grow in this wound and
they continue to appear until they num-
ber from fifty to over 100. In the late
fall these mother bulbs, with the small

ones attached, are planted. When they
are dug the next year, the old bulb has
disappeared, leaving nothing but a lot
of dry skin, and the young ones have
made some growth. They are still small,
however; in fact, not much larger than
an ordinary pea.

The other method is to give the bulb
three cuts across the bottom. This
method does not produce so many bulbs,
but it has the advantage that the young
bulbs are larger and require less time
to attain their full growth. The first
method, however, produces nicer, clean-
er bulbs.

Preparing the Ground.

Preparatory to growing hyacinths in
Holland, in the early spring we level
the ground carefully. If the surface
were left uneven, the chances are that
in tlie lower spots the bulbs would
drown. The surface of our land is only
two feet above the water, and we there-
fore must be extremely careful. When
the land is leveled, we put on the ma-
nure. Tills is pure cow manure, and we
apply about ten bushels to the square

rod. Our rod is only twelve feet square.
This manure is spread out evenly and
then dug under with a spade. As soon
as this land is ready a preparatory crop
is grown on it, usually potatoes, but
sometimes peas. The potatoes are ripe
early; in fact, they are all dug and
marketed before August 1. They are
generally used for foreign markets.
Hollanders do not like them, because,
on account of the heavy manuring, they
are so greasy that they can be fried in
a pan without adding thither butter or
lard.

Soon after this first crop is taken off
the land it is again manured, this time
with about two bushels of cow manure
per rod. This again is dug under with
a spade, and the land is now rej^dy for
the bulbs.

Planting and Protection.

Beds are made about three feet wide
and never longer than about forty feet.
'Our gardens are laid out so that they
uTe about eighty-five feet wide, and a
path runs through the middle and along
the sides. The top soil of the first bed
is taken out, and wheeled to the other
end of the field. The surface which is
thus exposed in the first bed is raked
until exactly even, and the bulbs are
planted in straight cross-rows. When
the entire bed is planted, the top soil
from the second bed is used to fill up
the first bed, and so the process goes
on until the entire field is planted.

When the planting is completed, the
top of the beds is raked evenly and then
covered with about eight inches of
reeds, as protection from frost.

As soon as the winter is over, part of
this covering is taken off, so as to ac-
custom the new foliage to the cold tem-
perature. Soon, however, the last of the
winter covering is removed, but is fol-
lowed by an extremely light applica-
tion of cow manure, which covers the
ground and the foliage, so as to protect
from night frosts and the blowing of
the sand, in case high winds should
occur.

Diseases of Hyacinths.

Then begins the work of keeping the
fields free from weeds and hunting for
diseased bulbs.

There are two diseases of hyacinths
which the grower dreads. One of these,
called "the yellow disease," rots the
bulb the first year, and is hard to fight.
Another, known as "the old disease,"
is slower but is mighty sure. If one
bulb which has contracted "the old
disease" stays in the ground, it affects
ten or twelve and sometimes more bulbs
around it.

We are glad to say, however, that of
late years neither of these diseases has
bothered us much, and we think we have
conquered both of them.

Harvesting and Sorting.

When the foliage is so nearlv dead

that it can be raked off, the time for
digging has arrived. This is done by
hand. The stocks of difiEerent ages
have been planted separat^fer and are
now kept apart. The stock Which is not
old enough to sell is put up in the bulb
houses, and left there undisturbed until
planting time comes again. The sto6k
which is ready for sale is dug and placed
in the paths which are between the
beds, and is there roughly assorted in
the various sizes. This stock is then
taken to the bulb house and left on
shelves to dry. As soon as the bulbs are
sufficiently dry they are taken off and
carefully sorted in the different sizes.
Each bulb is cleaned and freed from the
old roots by means of a stiff brush. This
work is done by women and girls, and,
by the way, is the only work for which
women are employed in the growing of
bulbs in Holland.

Packing and Shipping.

Each bulb is also examined to deter-
mine whether any diseased ones are still
left after the examination they under-
went while they were growing. The
shelves are cleaned and the dirt that
was brought in when the bulbs were
harvested is carefully removed, so that
the bulbs may have a clean place, where
they are put up until the packing season
opens. They are then counted into the
paper bags, put in the cases and sent
abroad.

Before })]anting the younger stock
again in the fall, every bulb is exam-
ined. A certain number of each va-
riety are examined by cutting a small
part of the top away, and when any dis-
eased bulbs arc found the entire stock
of this variety is examined in that way.
If no diseased bulbs are found, the only
additional precaution is to hunt for
dead or deformed bulbs, and tliese are
thrown awav.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Market.

Pittsburgh 'is weather of late has been
everything from spring showers to zero
blasts, but busiiu's.s nevertlieless has
continued good, f^tock of some kinds,
especially roses, remains scarce, but
bulbous stock and carnations are in
adequate supply. Orchids have be-
come j)lentifnl.

Various Notes.

Tlie wlioK'sale houses clean up stock
nicely each day, with the roses usually
sold before they arrive.

a prize at the Pittsburgh June show,
for a collection of twenty-five roses.

Swain Nelson. •♦

Swain Nelson, original designer of
Lincoln park, Chicago, and one of the
leading nurserymen of the west, died
January 18, at the residence of his son,
Seymour G. Nelson, in Glen View, at
the age of 89 years.

Mr. Nelson removed to Chicago in
1855 and engaged in the landscape gar-
dening profession, having previously
prepared himself for it in Sweden, his
native land. His designs for Lincoln
park were accepted in 1865 and during
the following fifteen years he directed
the work of developing that park as
well as several others in Chicago, in-
cluding Humboldt, Garfield, Douglas and
Union parks. He laid out Graceland
cemetery and also the Waller estate,
now known as Buena park.

He was a lifelong member and de-
vout believer in the Church of the New
Jerusalem and helped form the Chicago
society of the church. He moved from
Chicago to Glen View in 1893 and was
an active member of the firm he founded
up to the time of his death. The busi-
ness now is known as Swain Nelson &
Sons Co., having been turned into a
corporation. He is survived by two
sons, Seymour G. and Alvin E. Nelson,
and three daughters, Mrs. A. L. Gyllen-
hall and Miss Emelia and Miss Adah
Nelson.

Funeral services were held January
21 and were largely attended. There
were many flowers.

0. W. Schwomeyer.

C. W. Schwomeyer, of Schwomeyer &
Son, Indianapolis, died suddenly "^^ of
apoplexy at his home January 11. Mr.
Schwomeyer 's earlier life was apent in
the dry goods business and later in the
real estate business. For the last few
years, in connection with his son, he had
been in the florists' business on Shelby
street, Indianapolis, • Mr. Schwomeyer
was born in Indianapolis and was 60
years old. Six children survive him.
He was highly respected.

TAERYTOWN, N. Y.

The regular meeting of the Tarry-
town Horticultural Society was held
January 17, President Bradley presid-
ing. As this was carnation night, a
fine display of cut blooms of the best
varieties and recent introductions was
made. First prize for three varieties,
six of eaah, was awarded to A. Weeks;
second prize was won by J. Straithe-
way. The thanks of the society were
tendered to other exhibitors.

A fine seedling specimen of adiantum
was shown by George Mcintosh, who
received a certificate of merit. An in-
teresting discussion on the cultivation
of carnations followed the judging and
many valuable points were brought out.

For the February meeting the ex-
hibits will be flowering plants in pots,
not to exceed seven inches, and twelve
cut roses, six each of two varieties
other than American Beauty.

E. S. Dodd, of Irvington, and John
W. Dowling, of Tarrytown, were elected
to membership.

John Madden, of Highland, N. Y.,
siiecializes in Adiantum hybridum, which
yields an average annual return of $7
per thousand fronds. A house 26x162,
one of several, jiroduced a crop of 250,000
fronds in the year. Manager H. Bate
says that by alternating the plantings
a satisfactory rotation of crops is ob-
tained.

"Consider the lilies— how we grow
them," observed J. E. Sambrook, of
Sanibrook Bros., Troy, N. Y. ' ' We never
had finer results from cold storage
liiilbs." In j)ointing to a vase of extra
•piality blooms, he said they were grown
since six inches high among Kichmond
roses. This did not appear to affect the
roses in the least, judging by the vigor
ons growth of foliage and profusion of
bloom. Next season the firm will grow
the lilies among carnations, as the crop
comes off quickly and much space is
saved. The store business was good,
with fine stock in sight, both from the
home range and Berlin, N. Y.

Henrv Schrade, of Saratoga Springs,
X. Y., was putting in a No. 46 Kroe-
schell boiler, intending to add another
house. He remarked that ''one essen-
tial during these strenuous days is good
nights' sleep.' '

Henry Bensel, of Ballston Sjja, N. Y.,
reported a shortage in princess pine,
which usually is easily obtained from
the woods nearby.

.Apropos of advertising, .lulius P^ger

furnished an auto carload of palms for
the Schenectady festival chorus, held in
the Opera House recently. No charge
was made, nor any promise of reciproc-
ity. In return he received free notice
in the program, a good write-up in the
two locals, an order for a basket and two
bouquets for the prima donna, a decora-
tion admired by 3,000 auditors. True,
the weather was favorable, and little
risk was run, "but even so," remarked
Mr. Eger, "we have to take some
chances nowadays. ' '

John Strong, of Oneonta, N. Y.,
stated that, while lousiness is good, he
felt afraid to sj)eculate during the holi-
days and had to refuse orders beyond
his own limited production. I had a
chat with Mr. Strong, Sr., who owns up
to three years sliort of a century, and
said that, save for a touch of rheuma-
tism, he felt bully. What a philosopher!

B. Ackley, of Oneonta, rebuilt his en-
tire range last summer and sees the
benefit in a fine lot of stock, particu-
larly carnations.

C. W. Peck, also of Oneonta, re-
marked that, while many had their
measure of trouble, he has no kick com-
ing— business and stock are all one can
wish.

The Suskana Greenhouses, of Bing-
hamton, N. Y., intend launching out as
growers of rooted cuttings and plants

The Knoxville Florists' Society held
its third annual banquet January IG,
at the Seilaz cafe. The banquet hall
was decorated with i)almH and cut flow-

handsome vase of cut flowers. The
officers' table was particularly attrac-
tive, having as a centerpiece a bowl
of orchids and yellow narcissi. Dr.
Sam Boyd acted as toastmastcr and
quite a number of members responded
to toasts. The festivities were started
promptly at 7 o'clock and were over
at 9 o'clock, at which time the party
adjourned to one of the local theaters.
There were about forty members pres-
ent and everyone seemed to enjoy the
occasion. R. E. Mapes.

Roses are in short supply and many
more could be used wore they available.
All carnations prove good property and
Kaster lilies are selling well. Callas and

January business has been good, some
of the florists reporting it in excess of
last January 's. Prices are keeping up
well. Jonquils are coming in better and
tulips are more plentiful. There is a good
supply of stevias. White lilacs, which
recently apjjcared, are now arriving in
large quantities. Carnations arc plenti-
ful, but the ])rice remains steady for the
better quality of bloom. Sweet peas are
aV)undant now.

Florists' Club Meeting.

The animal meeting of the Essex (boun-
ty Florists' ('lull was held January 18
in the Krueger auditorium. Reports for
the work of the year were made and
oflicers were elected as follows: I'resi-
dcnt, John L. Pfeuffer, of Irvington;
vice president, James J. McLaughlin, of

of Henry A. Strobell.

I'lans were made for a ladies' night,
which will 1)0 held at the Krueger audi-
torium on the evening of February 2"2.
There will be a special program for the
occasion, a banquet, a social hour and
dancing. The committee having in
charge the arrangements for ladies'
night consists of James J. McLaughlin,

Charles J. Connolly reports January
business this year a little ahead of that
of the same month last year.

J. W. Blakcly, of Elizabeth, states
that 1916 was the best year he has had
since he went into the florists' business
about forty years ago. January of this

year has been the best Januarv he ever
had. R. B. M.

DETROIT, MICH.

The Market.

The scarcity of stock seems to have
become a habit here. Roses are in
heavy demand, but the supply is much
too small. Carnations now are coming
into their own; they are of best quality.
The cut of spring flowers sells well, espe-
cially jonquils. Plants also are on the
short side, and there is but a small va-
riety to choose from. Azaleas and cycla-
mens are in liveliest demand at present.

Business picked up during the latter
part of the week, funeral work starting
the improvement, and as roses were
scarce it gave retailers an opportunity
to push the sales of orchids and violets,
these being in abundance.

Various Notes.

John Breitmeyer's Sons had the deco-
rations for the Bachelors', ball last
week. The effect was Japanese.

In addition to a large batch of fu-
neral work and decorations, there were
several important weddings last week
that kept the retailers on the jump.

KESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them,

Whatevsk may have been the fact at
Christmas, there is no scarcity of cyclam-
ens now.

It is well to keep one's self informed
as to what one's competitor is doing —
frequently it will serve as an admonition
as to what not to do.

No recent wedding has attracted so
much attention as that of McCutcheon,
the cartoonist. The photographs show
his bride carried a bouquet of freesias.

The increased prices asked on advance
orders for Dutch bulbs are making many
buyers hold off, and to this extent should
prove of advantage to resident dealers.

Don't be afraid to charge what your
stock and your service are worth — it
rather raises you in popular esteem if you
can charge more than your nearest com-
petitor.

That this is an unusually good season
for the disseminators of novelties is the
opinion of the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond,
but its two new roses will not be ready
until 1918!

When this week's issue of The Re-
view is "put to bed," as the printers
phrase it, tlio editor is going out to
buy himself a drink, a big, black cigar,
or something else with which to properly
celebrate the occasion — for it will be an
even 1,000 times the event has occurred.

Next Monday, January 29, is McKin-
ley day, the day some of the trade tried
to have observed by the wearing of car-
nations. But it was a flash in the pan.
In only a few cities was it possible to
establish a special demand for. flowers
that day.

EAST OR WEST.

The press room order since January 4
hasjbeen to.^rint 12^00. popjes of .each
issue of The Review^^ but it looks as
though the edition soon will have to be
increased again, as Hew subscriptions
still are coming in steadily. But with
12,500 copies going out regularly, there
can not be many florists, east or west,
who do not read The Review, with this
result :

Please cancel my ad of mum stock plants, as
I already am all sold out. — Gove the Florist,
Burlington, Vt,, January 17, 1917.

Please discontinue my ad of pansies, as my en-
tire stock is sold and orders still are coming in.
— George F. Ode, January 15, 1917.

When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty
sure he spends a good bit of money else-
where than in The Review.

MUST RAISE THE PRICES.

' ' While florists generally seem well
satisfied with the volume of business
done so far this season," says H. E.
Humiston, special representative of the
Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co., "there
seems to be considerable complaint in
some localities that profits have been
materially decreased, due to the great
increase in cost of production with no
general corresponding increase in the
prices of flowers. The large increase
in the cost of fuel and the scarcity of
competent labor have undoubtedly im-
posed a heavy burden on many of our
florists."

There is only one course open to the
trade — it is necessary to obtain better
prices to compensate for the unavoid-
able addition to costs. In dealing with
the public small increases in price will
be accepted absolutely without com-
ment, so accustomed to them have shop-
pers become.

COLLECTIONS.

In the wholesale end of the trade
there has been complaint for some
months that collections were slower
than they should be on so good a volume
of business. Comparatively speaking,
they have not been better in January.
The retailers excuse themselves with
the statement that they can not get their
money from their own customers.

This trade is notoriously slack, from
one end to the other, in the matter of
credits and collections. There are in-
dividual exceptions, but as a whole flo-
rists give too much credit and pay too
little attention to collections and the
discharge of their own liabilities. The
other day a wholesale dealer in plants,
etc., told The Review he had on his
books a sum equal to his sales for the
entire year of 19161 It is due to lack
of system, that and the fear of losing
a customer.

In the years when there were large
profits in the business lax methods were
bad enough, but now, with a steadily
narrowing margin of profit, they are
positively dangerous. The florist who
does not collect his accounts and keep
his bills paid up is risking his business
life on a continuance of general pros-
perity.

THE LABOR SITUATION.

The question of labor will be one of
the most difficult the florists' trade will
have to meet this spring.

Under normal conditions it is bad
enough during the weeks of the spring
bedding season, and during the time that

replanting is going on under glass, but
this year the situation will be far worse
than usual. Skilled help ne\«r is plen-
tiful— there never are enough men who
really know their way around among
plants — and it is less abundant now than
ever before, for the simple reason that
wages in other occupations have ad-
vanced faster than in the florists' busi-
ness. The conditions in the east, where
hundreds of thousands of unskilled men
have been drawn into munition-making,
are worse than in the central states,
where miscellaneous manufacturing and
agriculture make work for every able-
bodied man at better than the usual
wages. The florist who does a big spring
bedding business will find greater diffi-
culty than ever in handling the trade
of 1917. It should be a big season and
a profitable one, but it will be a season
during which the greenhouse owner will
earn all he gets out of it, for the reason
that he will have to do so large a part
of the work himself because of his in-
ability to secure competent assistance.

THE ENERGETIC GERMANS.

The following recently appeared in

one of the British trade papers:

It is interesting to note that American gar-
dening papers still carry advertisements of
German nurserymen, who are evidently plncky
and energetic enough still to peg away and take
all risks in regard to transport of tbeir goods
across the seas. There doesn't appear to be
that increase in the number of British advertlae-
nients in these papers one might have expected,
and although I know a few firms who are doing
on increasing amount of export trade, there
appear to be many who have the goods to sell,
but not the enterprise and initiative to hunt
up the orders. The American trade is worth
making big elTorts to secure, but we must not
expect it to come to us unbidden, and to wait
until the war is over will be to lose the golden
opportunity.

No doubt the present does offer an
unusual opportunity for developing
American trade, for nearly all kinds of
stock are wanted here. It is equally
true that the Briton, with his pro-
verbial reluctance to change his meth-
ods, is not taking advantage of the
opportunity, but as for the ads of the
German firms, it is a fair guess that
they were ordered before the war, to
run until stopped, and the American
publishers are keeping them going al-
though they have received no pay for
perhaps two years and mail communica-
tion is known to be cut off by the Brit-
ish blockade.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The feature of tlie market is the low
level of prices as compared to what the
trade is accustomed to in the latter part
of January. . Carnations are not bringing
much more than half, on the average,
what they did at this time last year, the
average price of roses is considerably
lower than last January, because of in-
sufficient demand to clean up the longer
grades at their full value, and even
sweet peas, which are increasingly popu-
lar and hurting the sale of violets, are
not making the prices they did last Jan-
uary. On the other hand, however, tak-
ing the market as a whole, the supply of
stock is much larger than it was last
year in .January. There has not even
been the usual scarcity of roses this
year, as the Christmas crops went off;
the supply shortened up, of course, but
orders have been filled in far better
shape than in any recent January. With
carnations, where the difference in price
is most pronounced, the cut is so much

greater with some growers that their
money is the same as in the excellent
January of last year. One wholesaler
estimates there are twice as many sweet
peas now on the market as at this date
last year. This ability to fill orders with
comparative ease at lower prices creates
a situation not unsatisfactory to grow-
ers, not displeasing to wholesalers and
highly advantageous to the retailers.

The middle of last week was the dull-
est of the year to date. Although the
week had started well, January 17 found
business slow, with stock dragging heav-
ily. The end of the week, however, the
market took a brace and stock was
fleared out well. The new week started
well January 22, with good business ob-
taining. Cold weather has further short-
ened stock and prices are holding up or
advancing.

The wholesaler who is receiving his
supply of American Beauties may well
consider himself fortunate, for stock is
extremely short and finds a ready mar-
ket at quotation prices. Good Kussclls
are also scarce and clean up quickly.
Considerable of the stock which reaches
the market is of inferior quality. The
supply of white roses is also less and no
difficulty is found in clearing either
these or other varieties. Short lengths
clear most easily. The supply of carna-
tions is at least ample to meet all needs,
but stock is nlo^-ing well and better
prices are generally obtaining.

The arrival of freesias has cased the
situation of valley, the former being a
frequent substitute for valley in cor-
sages, brides' bouquets, etc. Easter lilies
continue to arrive in limited quantities
and move at an even rate. Orchids took
a considerable slump last week, but
cleaned up at the end and are now sell-
ing well. Good violets are not plentiful,
and find a ready market. Sweet peas
arrive in good supply. The quality con-
tinues excellent and stock sells well at
fair prices. The quality of Paper
Whites is good and stock is selling fairly
well. Tuli[is also arrive in fair suyiply
and are disposed of easily. Mignonette
and calendulas are in short supply and
the quality of the stock on the whole
is poor. A little stevia still is arriving,
but it is not in request and no longer is
an important item. The supply of jon-

Mr. Frese Gets Promotion.

O. W. Frese was last, week appointed
general manager of the downtown store
and offices of I'oehlmann Bros. Co. Mr.
Frese li: s been with the company for
almost fifteen years, serving in the ca-
j)acity of credit man and manager of
the country sales department, and has
for many years borne a good portion of
the heavy responsibilities incident to
the management of the company's Chi

"P. & D. at Cost."

There is agitation for a return to
the old rule of charging for the boxes

used in shipping cut flowers out of this
market. Years ago, when competition
was less keen than some wholesalers
think it is now, the box always was
cliarged for at a standard price, but now
there is no uniformity in the charges.
As the prices of boxes, paper and twine
are much higher than ever before, it is
thought not one house is charging
enougii to cover the cost, especially on
small orders, and there is tJilk of con-
certed action to plug this leak.

Various Notes.

The last week has been the worst of
the season in the matter of coal supply,
especially for tliose who depend on
wagon delivery from neighboring yards.
The smaller places, which burn two or
three cars of fuel a year and do their
own teaming, if forced into the market
last week paid nearly three times a nor-
mal price for low grade coal.

Philip Schupp, of J. A. Budlong,

growing the last year. Although it is a
little shy in the winter, he says it is a
good summer rose and amply makes up
at that season.

The coal famine took a lick at the
florists" trade from a different angle
January l!l. when, because of the coal
teamster? ■ strike, coal transportation

John Kruchten. of the John Kruchten

shipping bu.siness. which, he says, shows
a material increase over last year.

Shipments of California flowers,
which were more or less irregular at the

Maeta Martins January 20, burglars
broke into his new home at 1923 Argyle

Peter Reinberg, president of the
county board, was the speaker at Tues-
day's weekly luncheon of the Cook
county board at the Hotel Sherman, his

subject being: "Forest Preserves —

"The ads in The Review are paying
specially well this month," said A. Hen-
derson to the compiler of this column,
"but then," he added, for fear he had

That there will be a marked increase
in the private glass in this locality is
the report of the J, C. Moninger Co..
the latest order for a conservatory and
service building coming from M. Born,
of Glencoe. R. E. Kurowski comments
on the number of inquiries received as
to the effect on deliveries this season
caused by the recent fire, although it
has been plainly stated that it was only
a warehouse that burned and that mill-
work was not interrupted at all. To
him the interest in the matter indicates
an unusual demand for earlv deliveries.

L. H. Archias, of the Archiaa Floral

The presence of the following visitors

Tlie Market.

Business during the month of Janu-
ary is holding up well and, with the ex-
ception of the few days of rush previous
to Christmas, the volume of January
business compares favorably with that
done during the month of December.
Funeral work has been especially heavy
during the last two weeks, and the de-
mand for flowers for social functions
continues to be greater than ever. The
sale of blooming plants is reported to be
unusually heavy. The weather has been
extremely wintry, with the mercury
hovering around the zero mark, and
there have been several dark days. These
conditions have necessarily shortened
the production of stock, particularly
roses and carnations. Eoses in the
longer-stemmed grades are hard to
obtain. American Beauties are scarce
and Russell and Killarney are in ex-
ceedingly short supply. The quality is
good. Easter lilies are also scarce; callas

and daffodils made their appearance dur-

stock. Sweet peas are plentiful, and
there are some excellent flowers in the
Spencer varieties. Narcissi, primroses,
forget-me-nots and snapdragon meet
with a good demand.

Cattleyas and vandas are in excellent
demand for corsages. Violets are meet-
ing with a fine call this season. Valley
is scarce and high-priced. Azaleas that
were intended for the holiday business

are coming into bloom now, and they
find a ready sale. Tulips, daffodils, prim-
ulas, Dutch hyacinths, yellow and white
narcissi and primroses constitute the va-
riety in potted plants.

The Market.

Having recovered from the customary
after-holiday period of calm, business
now is good enough to please the major-
ity of this town's florists. Social ac-
tivities on a larger scale and a higher
rate of mortality have combined to aug-
ment the demand for cut flowers.

The bitterly cold weather that has
prevailed has heaped hardships on both
shippers and consignees; delayed ship-
ments from out-of-town points have
caused buyers unpleasant embarrass-
ments.

Splendid roses now occupy the center
of the stage, with Ophelia leading the
offerings at $8 per hundred, although
Eichmond and Killarney are favorites
at the same price. These roses are in
large demand, and the call for Cecile
Brunner and other roses of like type
is urgent. Of the baby roses the yel-
lows are quoted at $2, while the better-
liked pinks command $3. Improved
carnations have been worth $3 per hun-
dred.

Orchids remain among the things
scarce, and the prices continue steep.
Sweet peas are receiving more attention
by reason of their increased numbers,
but they as yet are not abundant. Their

The Market.

Business last week continued brisk,
with prices good. The supply of flowers
in all lines shortened, but this was offset
in part by some exceptionally good
blooming plants, including azaleas, be-
gonias, cyclamens and lilacs. Purity
f reesia is coming in more plentifully and
is selling at $6 per hundred. Narcissus
also is plentiful, but meets with a slow
sale and is largely being used to fill in

at times wlien the shortage of other
flowers is most marked.

There were few roses last week that
could be had for less than $8 per hun-
dred, and from that price they ranged to
$20 for average stock, the best grades
bringing $25 and $30 per hundred.
American Beauty roses at from $3 to $6
per dozen cleaned up nicely each day,
and there were enough of these to meet
the demand as it arose. Carnations are
moving freely at $5 and $6 per hundred,
but there are hardly enough to fill all

though with the scarcity of stock the
deeper colors move almost as well.

Some exceptionally fine Harrisii lilies,
grown locally, are to be had. These sell
quickly at up to $15 per hundred. The
cloudy weather last week had a marked
ill efifect on the sweet pea crop. Some
of the flowers are good and sell readily,
but on the whole the better stock is
scarce. The prices range from $1.50 to
$2 per hundred. Gardenias are still sell-
ing well at $3 per hundred. There are
not enough of these at the present time
to supply the demand. Single violets
sell readily at $1.50 per hundred and
the colder days of the week served to
accentuate the demand. In Washington
this is essentially a cold weather flower,
and the minute the sun shines and the
weather moderates the sale of violets
diminishes. Snapdragons are scarce and
bring $3 per dozen. Valley continues
to hang fire at $6 per hundred. The
people decline to pay so high a price for
these.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Queer weather continued during the
week ending January 24 without mate-
rially affecting the supply of flowers. I
do not mean by this that the supply is
large; far from it, but it is increasing
slowly. Carnations are the mainstay
of the market now. While not yet in
full crop, they are in splendid form and
prove most satisfactory. The deep rich
pinks command the highest market
prices; then come the whitea and light
pinks. Scarlets bring up the rear. Not
but that scarlets are good, they are un-
commonly good, but when they are
wanted they are wanted dreadfully, and
when they are not wanted it is hard to
push them on the buyers.

The quantities of fine lilacs and fine
freesias are features of the market this
week. The first are as good, the second
a little better, than those seen here in
the past. They come at an opportune
time and are steadily making ground.
Daffodils are becoming more plentiful;
they have receded a point. There are
a few more tulips, white now as well
as yellow, but they do not amount to
much.

The miscellaneous flowers, those that
are not grown in quantities but are
highly prized by true flower lovers, are
now nearing their best. They form a
larger proportion of the sum total prod-
ucts at this time than at almost any
other season. Pansies, primroses, daisies,
mignonette and so forth are all highly
prized and highly priced for such mod-
est flowers.

The rose crop is at low ebb, with indi-
cations that it will improve. Beauties,
however, are not likely to become plen-
tiful for a while. Cattleyas are coming
in again. Valley is unusually plentiful,
owing to lack of support; in other
words, there is not so much coming in,
but there is even less going out. Sweet
peas are in active demand. Violets are
rather dull. Snapdragons with long

stems are eagerly sought. Easter lilies
are plentiful, callas fewer, so both sell.
Greens are in demand. Taking it all
in all, the market is satisfactory.

The Situation in Valley.

There is considerable anxiety felt
among those interested in the future of
the cut flower market as to the fate of
lily of the valley. When the European
war curtailed the supply of valley pips
from Hamburg and increased the cost
of getting them here, it was felt that
something must be done. Valley could
not be profitably grown and sold at the
old price under the new conditions. So

the price of valley steadily advanced
from $4 to $5, $6 and $8 per hundred.
This advance seems justified under the
circumstances. During the last three
weeks, however, the buyers all over the
country appear to have decided that
valley is too expensive a flower to push
at this price. The demand has practi-
cally disappeared and the price has
fallen. If the retailers feel that lilies
of the valley are of suflBcient importance
to them to be kept on the flower list,
they will be obliged to support valley
at these lower prices, or it will not be
grown under such discouraging condi-
tions.

An Open Letter to Mr. Therkildson.

To Mr. W. F. Therklldson,

Chairman Essay Committee,

Florists' Club of Pliiladelpbla.
Dear Sir:

Two members of the Florists' Club, who are In
good standing, request that you set a time, as
soon as possible, for an open discussion of the
express delivery question. They believe that im-
proved transportation facilities are absolutely
necessary to the development of the florists' busi-
ness. They believe that it is the duty of the
Florists' Club to promote the welfare of its mem-
bers as well aa to afford them a place of meet-
ing and amusement. They therefore ask that you
give this important matter a bearing at the
earliest regular meeting.

A Shop Window.

It has been suggested that some of
The Eeview readers might enjoy looking
into one shop window each week at this
season of the year. Not with the idea
that that window is a model or any-
thing more than just a good, plain, live
window, but simply because it never
does any harm to know what the other
fellow is doing. So, for the present
week, the window of M. J. Callahan was
selected.

The window seems like a sort of oasis
in the desert of Market street industry,
and as such it brings joy to the passer-
by. Cabbages, shoes and whatnot with
their prices are forgotten when you look
into that window. The lesson that was
taught today was that cut flowers were
rather expensive, save possibly daffodils
and Paper Whites, and were not to be
courted by the unwary, but that plants,
attractively displayed, were just the

thing for a gift. Of course this lesson
was for the primary student, not for
the kindergarten. What he saw was
this: On the left of the window were
some specimen Pteris Wilsoni ferns in
tumbler baskets, most petite and charm-
ing; then a basket of a trifle larger size
containing a single specimen Primula
obconica. There were several of these
in various shades. Some of the baskets
were openwork. The center of the win-
dow was filled with a group of perfect
cyclamens, in medium sizes. The white
hued flowers on long stems were in the
center, a purple behind them, a lavender
nearby. On the right of the window
was a small, shapely Pandanus Veitchii
plant in a pretty basket. Nearby were
a couple of rose-pink azaleas; in the
background a large Dracaena fragrans
and one of the Boston sisters, in form
most symmetrical. The vases of daffo-
dils and Paper Whites, acting as a re-
minder of the flowers that bloom in
the spring, completed, the attractive
window.

Various Notes.

Paul Richester has returned to the
city.

Frank R. Hastings has established a
reputation for taste.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is
receiving Pjurity freesias that have
startled the experts. They are a little
better than anything seen in the market
before.

Charles W. Jennings, of Olney, has
abandoned the road to become a P. M.
shipper.

Charles W. Moorby has put a car on
the street.

Buyer — "Where are your roses t"
Seller — "Nobody wants them." That
is market humor right up to date.

Phil.

SOKANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business has showed an improvement.
Large funerals have kept the stores
busy; social functions have helped the
demand for cut flowers.

A severe drop in the temperature
last week gave the greenhousemen con-
siderable trouble in keeping the houses
warm. The growers are also having
trouble in getting coal. This is an out-
rage, because the coal is mined in this
city and vicinity. At the mines the
dealers are only allowed four tons each
per day.

Roses have been off crop of late and
the prices continue high, Russell,
Ophelia and Prima Donna proving the
best sellers. Carnations are arriving
more plentifully and are selling at $1
and $1.50 per dozen. Sweet peas are of
excellent quality and find a ready call.
Narcissi, yellow and white, are in good
demand. Valley and Easter lilies are

in limited supply. Snapdragons, free-
sias, tulips, daffodils and bouvardiaa are
making their appearance in the stores.
Greens continue plentiful.

Various Notes.

A grand assortment of potted plants
and baskets of cut flowers was the at-
traction in the windows _ of A. L.
Besancon & Co. last week." The com-
pany reports business good. Miss Besan-
coil is able to be around again, after a
week's illness.

T. B. McClintock, chairman of the
committee on trade exhibits for tlie
spring show, reports that much space
has already been reserved.

B. E. and J. T. Cokely report that
they have received a number of large
orders ' for .>«ac^^eSigns. J. T. Cokely
has returned from a trip through New
York state-^th a book full of orders.

Muir & Co. report a satisfactory
business since the holidays. They have
had a continual rush of funeral work.

NEW YOBE.

The Market.

Business in the wholesale cut flower
market last week was quiet, but the
shipments of roses were light, this fact
holding the market barely steady, with
prices for everything else on the dov^n
grade. The supply of first quality
American Beauties is limited and top
prices on these have been easily main-
tained. The same may be said of Had-
ley. The shorter grades of roses are far
below the demand and they sell much
more rapidly than the long-stemmed
grades. For some time there have been
no roses sold under 3 cents and few
under 5 cents.

Carnations have fallen; $4 per hun-
dred was the extreme top last week. In
large lots $3 was accepted and any of
the medium varieties, not up to the
standard, were offered at $20 per thou-
sand. Lily of the valley holds steadily at
the quotations of the last few weeks, the
top being $4 to $5 per hundred. Longi-
florums and, in fact, all the lilies, have
held their prices well ever since Christ-
mas. Callas still are limited in supply
and $2 per dozen for the best is easily
obtainable.

There is an abundance of gardenias.

QUALITY is the big word in
the SCHULTZ organization.
SCHULTZ creations are widely
imitated and sold by other
manufacturers, but SCHULTZ
QUALITY is rarely equaled
and never surpassed.

SCHULTZ QUALITY iswell known
throughout the florists' trade, and
can be compared with no other . The
question of price is never considered
where QUALITY is demanded.

THE FACT that we have in the past seven years built up the largest Cut Flower Box
business in the Country is our best advertisement. We strive to please and the results
speak for themselves.

"WHEN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE THEM"

is still our slogan.
We manufacture and carry in stock for prompt shipment: Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Mist
Tan, White Carnation and our popular Favorite grade— the latter a most satisfactory telescope
shipping box. Holiday boxes in season. We make special sizes promptly and at reasonable
charge, and specialize in attractive and up-to-date printing and embossing.
With our increased facilities we aim to make our service the best in our line, and if you are in the market it will pay you to wai t

even the best not selling at over $20 per
hundred. A great many low-grade flow-
era are sent in and have to be sold as
low as 50 cents to 75 cents per dozen.
There is an oversupply of orchids.
Prices declined rapidly toward the end
of last week and January 20 the best
cattleyas were selling at 40 cents each,
cypripediums at $1.50 per dozen and
oncidiums at 8 to 12 cents per flower.
The violet market is unsteady and
prices have fallen; 50 cents per hundred
now seems to be top for the best dou-
bles. The selected singles are m«8t in

favor. Purple sweet peas, arranged in
bunches like the violets, are popular and
salable. The best Spencers are bringing
$2 per hundred and over. The market
is overstocked with Paper White nar-
cissi, but no fault can be found
with the quality of the stock. There
are too many short-stemmed tulips. No
one seems to want them. Freesia is su-
perb, and its popularity grows. There is
a sufficiency of daffodils, mignonette,
daisies, lilac, calendulas, forget-me-nots,
stevia and pansies. Acacia is here
again.

These aflfairs are decidedly classy and

Secretary Siebrecht says this year 's fes-
tival will be supreme.

The wife of Wm. L. Trumpore died
last week at the family home in Staple-
ton, L. I. Mr. Trumpore has the sympa-
thy of all in his bereavement, especi.illy
sad because of his own confinement in
the hospital following a serious opera-
tion. Sincere hopes are entertained of
his recovery. Mr. Trumpore has a store
at Stapleton, under his son's manage-
ment, and recently has been one of the
force of J. H. Small & Sons.

Great importance is given St. Valen-
tine's day by New York's enterprising
and progressive retailers and methods
are being devised to make the day one
of the best of the whole year.

Peter Beuerlein, of Elmhurst, will
move to Hillsdale, N. J., this spring,
where he will erect greenhouses. He
has a farm there of over fifty acres.

Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, is in the
city on his way to New England.

Sam Seligman, of the American Bulb
Co., Chicago, is here for a two weeks'
business trip, with his headquarters at
the Hotel Wallach.

New York will be well represented
at the meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society at Indianapolis. J. H. Dick
is chairman of the transportation com-
mittee and associated with him are A. J.
Guttman and W. E. Maynard. Those
desiring berths should inform the chair-
man without delay.

His friends will be glad to know of
the recovery of W. H. Long, of 412 Co-
lumbus avenue, after many weeks in the
hospital.

F. K. Pierson, of Tarrytown, celebrat-
ed his sixty-second birthday anniversary
January 22. A visit to his "handsom-
est flower shop in the world" last week
emphasized the fact that in its building
he must have had in view a monument.
Mr, Pierson just now is enthusiastic
over his new rose Daphne, to which he
will devote one of his half -acre houses
next season.

VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS DEPARTMENT I

■Biiiiiiiiinii^

POLLINATION OF TOMATOES.

Will you kindly tell me through the
columns of The Review what is the best
method of pollenizing tomatoes? I have
followed two systems — by gently shak-
ing the vines to liberate the pollen; by
going over the blossoms with an en-
velope and gently pressing the envelope
against the blossoms. In each case I
have had fruits that failed to set.

T. E. H.— Can.

Use a good-sized camel 's-hair brush,
or a piece of cotton wool tied to the end
of a stick. I have on many occasions
tied the end of a rabbit 's tail on a stick
and pollenized not only tomatoes, but
also grapes, nectarines, peaches and
other fruits. Keep a uniformly dry at-
mosphere in j'our tomato house. Allow
the plants to dry out well between
waterings; do not apply liquid manure
at all at this season. Plants with a
large root run, which make a strong
growth, are less likely to set freely
than those with roots in a more limited
space. The night temperature should
be 60 to 62 degrees. C. W.

The Market.

There continues to be a decided scar-
city of nearly all flowers, and prices re-
main high, in some cases having ad-
vanced since a week ago. The weather
has remained steadily cold and the cuts
of growers have been small. The pre-
vailing high prices have practically
closed up some of the small retailers,
temporarily. It also has had the effect
of reducing purchases, as a good many
dispense with flowers while they are so
dear. The wholesalers are probably in
the worst, and the growers in the best,
position at present. Some retailers are
pleased with the present high prices,
but the majority are not.

Koses continue in short supply. Par-
ticularly is this the case with short-
stemmed flowers, which have been mak-
ing $8 to $10 per hundred. There is a
rather better supply of medium and
first-grade flowers, which clean up at
excellent prices. Carnations remain
about the same as those of a week ago,
the prices varying from $4 to $6 per
hundred. Sweet peas sell well; good
Spencers make $2. The supply of tulips
and daffodils is not yet large and ex-
cellent prices still rule. This holds true
also of Paper Whites, Eomans and free-
sias. Yellow marguerites are selling at
fancy prices, all the way from $1 to $6
per hundred. Valley moves somewhat
slowh' and lilies are in abundant supply.
There is an abundant cut of stevia still
available, or makers of funeral designs
would have difliculty in finding suffi-
cient material.

Cattleyas are lower priced, Triante be-
ing worth $35 to $45 per hundred. Gar-
denias wholesale at $3 per dozen. There
is a somewhat better call for asparagus.

Club Field Day.

There was an attendance of over
sixty at the postponed field day of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club at Fram-
ingham January 20. The establishment
of S. J. Goddard was first visited, and
the carnations, which are the leading
specialty, were found in splendid con-
dition. The seedlings here are worthy
of more than passing mention. A few
of the more striking are 167-12, a beau-

likely to be heard from again.

Rosalia, Laddie and Dorner's seedling
No. 148 attracted much favorable no-
tice. Pink Sensation seemed to be
blooming freely for so large a flower.
Itosette, Yellow Prince, Doris, the lat-
ter a fine, new crimson now being dis-
seminated, of a glowing shade; Pink
Delight, Matchless, Beacon, Beuora
and Gloriosa were all fine. Glori-
osa still holds its own here. Nancy
looked well and seems destined to dis-
place Pink Delight. A good general
line of stock for the retail trade, such
as freesias, snapdragons, marguerites,
mignonette, etc., is grown h' .-e, and
everything looked well.

After leaving Mr. Goddard's, the es-
tablishment of W. R. Nicholson was vis-
ited. Carnations are the leading crop
here and it would be hard to find finer
beds of Alice, Matchless, Rosette,
Beacon, Good Cheer, Benora, Pink De-
light and Ward, than are to be seen
here. A crimson seedling, No. 51, took
everyone 's eye and looked like a winner.
Belle Washburn was doing well. The
mignonette here, always fine, seems this
year to be better than ever and was an
pyo-opener to many; the spikes were
magnificent. Freesias were good; so
were winter-blooming wallflowers, and
the visitors had never seen Godfrey
callas blooming with such wonderful
freedom as here. Yellow marguerites,
sweet peas, Gypsophila elegans and a
variety of stock coming along for Me-
morial day were also noted.

Matchless, White Wonder, Fenn,
Benora, Beacon, Pink Delight and Ward.
All the plants were in tremendous crop
and were a revelation to the visitors, a
house of Matchless being a truly won-
derful sight. The young stock was in
extra fine condition. Rose Queen sweet
peas were remarkably fine.

When J. T. Butterworth 's place, in
South Framingham, was reached, dark-
ness was approaching and it was neces-
sary to turn on electric lights to see the
plants properly. Here orchids are the
great specialty. Specially noteworthy
were the batches of Cattleya Trianae,
Laelia anceps, fancy cypripediums, cym-
bidiums and odontoglossums, but many
other genera were represented. The
plants are vigorous; even those which
had been here for many years were in
ruddy health. Tulips, narcissi and other
bulbous flowers, also lily of the valley,
are forced here in quantity. Two houses
of carnations, comprising all the best
varieties, were in good crop.

Mr. Butterworth furnished the visi-
tors with a collation, which was much
appreciated. President James Methven,
on behalf of the visitors, thanked
Messrs. Goddard, Butterworth, Nelson
and Nicholson for the courtesies ex-
tended. Messrs. Goddard and Butter-
worth expressed their pleasure at the
club members' visit. John H. Stalford,
of Bar Harbor, Me., who had just re-
turned from a visit to leading establish-
ments in the vicinity of New York and
Philadelphia, said he had seen better
stock at Framingham than anywhere
else he had visited. The special car
reached Boston safely at 7:15 p. m.,
after a most enjoyable and profitable
outing.

roses and carnations this season. Their
leading carnations are Ward, Matchless,
rink Delight, Enchantress Supreme,
Ikacon, Bcnora and Alice Coombs.
They have a nice pick of Spencer sweet
peas.

James "Wheeler now lias 16,000 feet
of glass devoted to yellow marguerites
and is the leading local specialist in
these popular flowers. His best grade
realizes as much as $G per hundred.
Among carnations Nancy is now doing
better. Pink Delight, Alice, Benora and
Matchless are the other leaders. Alice
yielded eight flowers per plant up to
January 1, ahead of all other varieties.

At the club meeting January 20, C. F.
Guenther, of Hamburg, N. Y., showed a
nice vase of his new chrysanthemum.
A seedling crimson carnation from
W. D. Howard, originated by A. B.
Knowlton, showed up well; also a pink
seedling from Littlefield & Wynian. At
the meeting February 20 carnations will
hold the center of the stage. There
will be a notable display of flowers and
talks by several specialists.

shipments of Campbell. Speaking of
violets, it is a noteworthy fact that
they have declined in popularity in
Boston of late years and several spe-
cialists have dropped or vv'ill soon drop
their culture.

Patrick Welch, among other florists,
is receiving regular shipments of Bud-
dleia Asiatica, Erlangea tomentosa and
English primroses.

I regret to report that George Hannan,
of Dorchester, is dangerously ill at the
city hospital with sciatic rheumatism.
His friends are much worried over his
condition.

E. P. Matson has purchased the John
A. Co3i greenhouses at Beading and will
grow carnations, calendulas, Asparagus
Sprengeri, sweet peas, stocks, spiraeas,
bulbous stock and pansies. He has a
charming pure white pansy, also a pleas-
ing pale blue one.

W. N. Craig lectured on "Seed Sow-
ing Suggestions" at Horticultural hall
January 20. The attendance was 300.
Questions from the audience occupied
one and one-half hours, showing the in-
terest of the public in horticultural
topics.

At Welch 's business is good, but Ed-
ward Welch says prevalent prices are
so high that they hurt business consid-
erably. This house carries a fine line
of roses, carnations, valley, cattleyas
and otlior flowers.

Among the growers who are sending
in good cyclamens just now are W. T.
Walke, of Salem, and Axel Magnuson,
of Manfliester. Tlie last named lias sold
all his I'riimila malacoidcs plants. This
\arioty sells far better now than either
P. Sinensis or obconica.

The committee in charge of the com-
ing club banquet this season will liave a
regular booklet program containing ad-
vertisements of many leading firms. The
date of the banquet is February 7 and
an early call for tickets is necessary, as
they are moving fast.

There will be a small prize exliil)ition
at Horticultural hall February ?,. Prof.
A. H. Nchrling, of Amherst, will give an
illustrated lecture on "Perennials We
Should Grow." The spring flower show,
opening March 21, will be the most im-
posing Boston ever has bad, and tlic

America this season. At present Cat-
tleya Trianae is his leading variety. He
is cutting gardenias more heavily.

The Eawson Conservatories, of Arling-
ton, produce numerous carnations, there
being some 40,000 plants. The leaders
are Ward, Enchantress Supreme and
Matchless. There are splendid Spencer
peas and quantities of Spanish irises.

The noted evangelist, Billy Sunday,
closed his Boston campaign January 21.
The total attendances at his tabernacle
have aggregated 1,500,000, and Boston
is sorry to lose him. The florists have
benefited by his presence here, as numer-
ous delegations have presented him with
floral tributes.

William H. "Ward, of Montvale, is
getting a nice crop of forget-me-nots,
freesias, sweet peas and Asparagus
plumosus; also, a good cut of Matchless,
Pink Delight, Benora, Beacon and
White Wonder carnations.

There will be a lecture at Horticul-
tural hall January 27 by Alfred P.
Dachnowski, of the Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C, on "Forma-
tion and Characteristics of Peat and

The Market.

The local wholesale market was in a
splendid condition last week. There
was a decided shortage of roses and
carnations, and prices went up a few
cents. There was no glut of any flower
and the market was cleaned up daily.
The retailers report splendid business
throughout the week — society was work-
ing overtime on social functions. The
shortage in roses was noticed most, and
all varieties and grades advanced in
price. Extra fancy long Beauties
brought $6 per dozen. Kussell and
Ophelia were in good demand, also Kil-
larneys. Extra choice carnations were
sold at $4 per hundred and these cleaned
up well. Enchantress was the leading
seller; Matchless, Ward and Beacon also
sold well during the latter part of the
week. The supply was not equal to the
large demand. Sweet peas are coming
in well. Fancy butterfly sweet peas
clean up daily and it is expected the
supply will be greater from now on.
Violets are becoming more plentiful.
The bright, cold weather was just right
for them and the supply became quite

60 years' experience in the florist basinets gnaranteea
efficiency to take eare of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

heavy the latter part of the week. The
average price asked was $5 per thou-
sand. Eomans and jonquils are scarce,
as are valley and Paper Whites. A
large cut of Paper Whites is expected
this week. Orchids sold well at $6 per
dozen and the supply was good during
the week. Easter lilies and callas are
in large demand, but scarce. All greens
cleaned up well, with adiantum, smilax
and asparagus leading.

Various Notes.

The Eetail Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting January 15 at the
Mission Inn Garden. President Young
presided over a large attendance. The
nomination of officers resulted as fol-
lows: For president, Fred H. Weber,
Richard Tubbesing and Otto G. Koenig;
vice-president, T. Miller and Oscar Ruff;
secretary, Frank X. Gorly, Marion Uhl-
schmidt and Oliver K. Sanders; treas-
urer, Emil Schray, John W. Boerm and
Fred C. Weber. The election will take
place at the February meeting. There
was a lengthy discussion on publicity
after the report of the publicity com-
mittee. The plans outlined by the com-
mittee were adopted. It was decided
that the association do all in its power
to help to make the coming spring
flower show a big success. It was re-
quested of those who attend the Indian-
apolis carnation convention to be pre-
pared to make a report at the next
meeting.

Arthur Wettig, of 5318 Quincy ave-
nue, died January 15 at the City hos-
pital, of tetanus poisoning. Mr. Wettig
fell against a radiator at his home
Christmas day and struck his head. Sev-
eral days later the injury became pain-
ful and the decedent went to the hos-
pital. He was born in Germany. He
leaves a family to mourn his loss.

Gorly, has taken a position as manager
with A. L. Young & Co., who recently
bought the business of the Townsend
Floral Co.

T. H. Young, of the Young Tool Co.,
of Casey, 111., was a recent visitor in
the wholesale district. Mr. Young says
that business in florists' wire designs
has been large.

Joseph Deutschmann, secretary of the
St. Louis County Growers' Association,
says that the next meeting of the asso-
ciation will be held February 7, at the
Eleven Mile House. Plans for the St.
Louis spring flower show will come up
for discussion at this meeting.

Grimm & Gorly furnished the deco-
rations for several large weddings last
week. January 19 they used several
thousand Ophelias at one of the largest
weddings of the season.

J. N. North has leased the store in
Wellston formerly occupied by A.
Johnson. Mr. North is a son of the late
James N. North, who had a large range
at Kimmswick, Mo., many years ago.

Paul Ahner and Rudolph Gross, of
Kirkwood, are cutting some of the fin-
est sweet peas seen in this market in re-
cent years.

The chairmen of the spring flower
show committees met at Bourdet's Janu-
ary 16. The decorating committee was
allowed $1,000 for decorating the hall.

AMEBICAN SEED TKADE ASSOOIATIOM'
President, Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.;
Becrctary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Edward Leonard, of the Leonard
Seed Co., Chicago, has been confined to
his bed by an attack of the grip.

Among the few catalogues received
quoting all seeds by the pound, is the 1917
catalogue of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi-
cago.

Despite the Dutch embargo, the Sluis
Seed Store, Chicago, received a small
shipment of Spinach seed from Holland
last week.

James E. Clark, recently in charge of
the Jefferson Park retail market garden-
er store of the Leonard Seed Co.. Chicago,
has joined the staff of the Everette R.
Peacock Co., which is steadily extending
its operations in the section north and
west of Chicago.

"The seed question is becoming more
serious each day," say J. Bolgiano &
Son, Baltimore. "Seed growers find
their crops did not yield what they had
estimated, and seed merchants are realiz-
ing their great shortage. Already many
varieties of garden seed are almost ex-
hausted. Never has the whole world faced
such conditions."

Among the visitors in Chicago last
week were J. W. Edmondson, of the Cali-
fornia Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal.,
accompanied by Mrs. Edmondson; A.
Woodruff, of S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Or-
ange, Conn., and J. S. Michael, of the
Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., Sioux
City, la., who had just come from Wash-
ington, D. C, where they were bidding
on the government seed contracts.

IMPURE OR MISBRANDED SEEDS.

Proposed National Legislation.

Congressman James F. Byrnes, of
South Carolina, has introduced a bill
into the House of Representatives "to
regulate commerce in adulterated or
misbranded seeds or bulbs, and to pre-
vent the sale and transportation there-
of." The bill provides:

Srction 1. That the introduction into nny
state or territory or the District of Columbia
from nny other state or territory or the Dis-
trict of ' Columbia of nny seed or bulbs adul-
terated or misbranded within the meaning of
this Act, is hereby prohibited: and any person
who shall ship or deliver for shipment from any
state or territory or the District of Columbia
to any other state, territorj-, or the District of
Columbia, or who shall receive in any state or
territory or the District of Columbia from any
other state or territory or the District of Colum-
bia, and having so received shall deliver. In
oriRinal unbroken packages, for pay or other-
wise, or offer to deliver to any other person any
seed or bulbs ndultornted or misbranded, within
the meaning of this Act, or any person who shall
sell or offer for sale in the District of Columbia
or any territory of the United States any such
ndulteratod or misbranded seed or bulbs, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and for such offense
be fined not exceeding $200 for the first offense,
and upon conviction for each subsequent offense
not exceeding $300, or be Imprisoned not exceed-
ing one year, or both, In the discretion of the
court.

Sec. 2. That the Secretary of Agriculture

(•over; the (ierman text is exi>anded to 136 pages.

ATTEHTIOH!
HIGH PRICES!!

The annual army of Dutch
bulb salesmen is advancing on
the florists' trade in the United
States, fully determined again
to capture your orders at high
prices.

If you are wise, you will not
place your order now.

There is plenty of time to
buy at high prices.

The information available,
together with a knowledge of
the situation in general and
the bulb markets at the present
time, proves conclusively that
the present high prices asked
for Holland bulbs will not hold
through the season unless some
great disaster should befall the
crop now in the ground.

Hold your order.

II Pacific Coast Department

Pasadena, Cal. — At the recent meet-
ing of the Pasadena Horticultural So-
ciety George F. Nelson was elected
president in place of W. Shields, George
Kennedy still holding his position as
secretary.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Another cold snap has materially
checked outdoor carnations and other
flowers just as they were getting into
their stride; but, fortunately, both wind
and rain accompanied the cold and pre-
vented its settling down to a frost.
Nothing grows except violets, and these
appear to like the cool, moist conditions
now existing. Even the hardy blue
cyanus, or cornflower, does not open
freely and there is some shortage. Sweet
peas are scarce and only of medium qual-
ity, while outdoor roses at present are
practically out of the market. A scar-
city of indoor roses, or rather a reduced
supply, has again come to pass, several
growers being more or less off crop. Good
Cecile Brunner roses are nearly as scarce
as orchids, and corsage flowers generally
are short, with the exception of violets.

Callas are coming in slowly, the earlier
ones being somewhat damaged by frost.
There is a nice supply of Easter lilies,
both in pots and cut, but the demand for
potted stock is extremely light. Aspara-
gus plumosus is in much smaller supply,
the cold weather having checked the
growth and the frost browned the tips of
much of it, making it unsalable. The de-
mand for maidenhair ferns, brakes and
Mexican ivy is better than for .some
time.

Plants are coming in more freely, aza-
leas that were late for Christmas, cycla-
mens, begonias and ferns making a good
showing. The fruit branches and boughs
of Acacia Baileyana and other shrubs
and trees prove effective in the store
windows.

Various Notes.

A. F. Levy, representing the McCallum
Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., is in town taking
orders for supplies.

John Bodger, Jr., last week said he
intended to start on his eastern trip
January 16.

The L. A. Floral Co. is shipping a dis-
tinctive looking carnation, a sport of
Mrs. Welch. The color just now is not
so good, Fred Sperry says, as later in
the season, but even now it is so different
from other carnations on the market
here that it meets with a fine demand. It
lasts well, is a good shipper and the color
is described as an American Beauty tint.

Darling's Flower Shop reports busi-
ness excellent, better than at the begin-
ning of the montli. The windows have
been exceptionally attractive of late,
some novel ideas having been worked
out.

Although I knew of tlie addition of
new greenhouses at the H. N. Gage Co.
nursery at Montf;l)ollo, I was surprised
to see what a groat improvement had
been made all around. Tlie two new
houses, each 200 feet long, are filled with
ferns, palms and other stock, and out-
doors the bulbous stock looks cxception-

W« arc muck pleased with' the
results ef our plant advertisements

in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

ally well. II. N. Gage in the selling de-
partment, and his brother, L. Gage, in
the growing end, seem a i)retty strong
combination.

Friends of H. W. Turner will be sorry
to hear that he broke his right arm Janu-
ary 15, thus more or less incapacitating
him at a busj' time. Evervone knows

that the temporary loss of an arm will
not keep Mr. Turner out of business, but
it makes it a little awkward just the
same.

A big shipping business and the job
of moving has kept all hands on the
jump at the S. Murata & Co. store this
week. Purity freesias have met with
an exceptionally fine demand,' the
Fischer quality doing the trick.

At Wolf skills' & Morris Goldenson's
this week there has been a large de
mand for the better class of funeral
work.

Friends of Arnold Kingier, secretary
of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, will
be glad to hear that Mrs. Kingier is
progressing favorably at the Clara
Barton hospital.

is short. The few growers who have a
good cut are making more money on
roses than ever before during January.
Carnations are less plentiful and prices
have stiffened.

Bulbous stock also is held back by
the cold, but a few warm days will
bring out heavy supplies of daffodils,
narcissi, tulips, hyacinths, etc. Free-
sias are more plentiful and the offer-
ings clean up quickly. Now, when prac-

are plentiful. They were short for a

offerings are azaleas and primroses;
both are having a good call. Acacias

The Florists' Review

jAMAltV 25, 1917.

At the seed stores extensive prepara-
tions are being made for the spring sea-
son. Seedsmen look for a good business
this year, judging from the interest
shown at this early date.

Various Notes.

Under tlie supervision of F. J. Ber-
trand, of the B. M. Joseph store, a large
decoration was carried out at the "Pal-
ace hotel a few days ago. It was a
Hawaiian affair and a tropical effect
was obtained by the use of aquariums,
fishes, miniature cocoa palms and
dancing girls. Mr. Joseph says busi-
ness is reasonably good, notwithstand-
ing the scarcity of stock and high
prices.

One day last week Podesta & Bal-
docchi used about 200 orchids in funeral
work, according to N. L. Baldocchi.

Harry Hanson, formerly with the Art
Floral Oo., has accepted a position with
MacRorie & McLaren, as head salesman
of their store on I'owell street. Frank
H. Forrest, who has been serving in
that capacity, is no longer with the
company.

(;. S. Quick, who makes a specialty
of growing dahlia novelties at Berkeley,
has issued a new catalogue. It lists
more than 600 varieties of dahlias, as
well as other flowers.

The California Dahlia Growers' As-
sociation is preparing to send out the
premium list for the second annual
show, which will be held in the Palace
hotel ballroom, September -T to .'5. The
list will be ready in time for exhibitors
to start plants for any entry they may
choose. Getting the i)reniium list out
early this spring will also give the ad-
vertisements in the schedule longer life.
Additional space has been obtained for
the 1917 display and no effort will be
spared to make the exhibition a signal
success. A special table will be re
served for showing flowers frOm the
dahlia trial gardens, which will bo lo-
cated at San Rafael, under the auspices
of the association. The January bul-
letin of the association contains much
information of interest to dahlia grow
ers.

Joseph Proietti, who handles the daf
fodil cut of several places near San
Leandro, says there will be a big crop
as soon as the weather nio<lerates.

F. ('. Burns, dahlia s|)ecialist of San
Rafiii'l, Tal., has issued a new cata-
logue of dahlias. "The Pride of the
CJarden." He docs not list a large col-
lection, but d(>\()tes ]\articular alten
tion. he says, to sncli varieties as have
been selected foi- their superioritv in
rolor, perfection of form, length ' ami
stiffness of stem, continuous blooming,
etc. Half page illustrations are given
the varieties known as Tom Lundv,
Geisha, Wodaii. Henry Maier, Mrs. T.
A. Munro, Alaska, Gharmiiister and
George Walters.

J. A. Axell savs that the F. W. M- Ld
Ian Go. h;is a fine mt of Russell r'ises
and about a normal cut of other varie-
ties.

r. Kooyinan is congratulating iiini
self on having a fine cut of roses while
they are scarce and high.

T. Mosco reports a good <lemand for
bulbous jdaiits, with liyacintlis the priu-
(•ipnl feature .'ind tulips next.

This new class of minUture roses is Kaining won-

BABY DOLL

The most rapturously and sttikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its biilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open fluweis are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throuKh"ut the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

Also special prices on all commerial varieties of

sufficient to meet the demands. A few
Golden Spur have appeared and are
eagerly snatched up at good prices.

Various Notes.

The Spokane Florist Co. has been
making a good showing in its windows
of potted tulips and Golden Spur daf-
fodils, which were furnished by the
Spokane Greenhouse Co., of Marshall.

The Hoyt Bros. Co. has been busy
with several decorations for weddings
and parties. In common with other flo-
rists, the company is experiencing dif-
ficulty in getting ' sufficient valley to
meet the requirements of the better class
of work. There is at this time no assur-
ance of any more valley before June 1.

Henry Keimers last week treated his
store and grocnliouse help to a goose and
turkey dinner, with all the ' ' trim-
mings" attached. The store was closed
and the help went out to the Eeimers
home, at Reimers station. The guests,
about twenty-five in number, when not
indulging in the splendid "eats" pro-
vided, spent the time in dancing, the
music being supplied by graphophone
and piano.

H, L. Olsson has had splendid cinera-
ria and Primula malacoides plants, for
which there has been a good demand.

W. S. Van Dorn, formerly in business
at Post Falls, Idaho, has bought the
greenhouses and business of A. Gardner
at Greeley, Colo. The deal includes
about 15,000 feet of glass, within two
blocks of the business center of the
town. ■ Since selling his place at Post
Falls last spring, Mr. Van Dorn has been
employed by the Milot-Mills Co., at
Wenatchee. While there he had charge
of the roses, mums, peas and poinsettias.

Mrs. Thomas Christensen, wife of the
Wallace Florist, of Wallace, Idaho, was
a recent visitor. L. B. H.

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

Clear weather has had a stimulating
effect on business; large funerals also
have been a factor in the trade, and with
fair supplies of flowers there is little to
complain of. A few chrysanthemums of
fine quality are still to be seen and are
selling well at good prices. Carnations
are improving in quality and increasing
in quantity. Roses are not overplenti-
f ul, the bulk of the stock being of south-
ern origin. The demand for roses is
good. (California violets are now about
at their best and sales of these and the
few locally grown ones are at their maxi-
mum. Bulbous stock is not plentiful, ex-
cept Paper Whites. A few tulips and
daffodils are coming in and quickly dis-
posed of. Cyclamens arc the best sellers
in pot plants; primulas move slowly and
the few azaleas offered have not much
to recommend them to buyers. Pussy
willows are seen in all the stores.

Various Notes.

Fred Sc-lileiclier. who has iiad charge
of the greenhouses at the nursery of
.T. .7. Bonneil for some time, has gone
iiito partnership with C. Haas, at his
range at Bellevue. It is their inten-
tion to rebuild tliose of the houses
which were destroyed last winter.

Lambert Pedersen is building an addi-
tion to his range at C^ueen Anne. As
most of the Tnaterial was already in his
jiossession, it will not be such an expen-
sive proposition as if the material had
to be jjurchased at this time of high

prices. He has an excellent crop of car-
nations in one of his houses and finds
business good.

J, J. Bonnell has received most of the
goods he purchased while on his recent
trip to Japan, but has some still on the
way. He, with other nurserymen, is won-
dering when the Holland shipments are
to arrive. They have been a long time on
the way and the chances are they will
not arrive in good condition.

A movement is on foot to form a land-
scape gardeners ' association in this city,
and certainly it is a step in the right
direction. There are so many who call
themselves landscape gardeners and so
few who have any claim to other than
an unerring eye in the navigation of a
lawn mower, that it is time there should
be cooperation among the competent
ones for their own protection as well as
in the interests of the public.

The Fleur-de-lis Store, in the Henry
building on Fourth avenue, closed its
doors and went out of business this week.
While there has been an increase in size
of some of the stores of late, there has
been a decided decrease in the number
operated during the last two years.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Club Meeting.

About thirty members attended the
meeting of the Portland Floral Society
held January 16. It was reported that
a payment had been made of twenty-
five per cent of the bills for the floral
center in the last festival, and that
there was a good prospect that the re-
maining twenty-five per cent would be
paid soon. Members of the legislation
committee related their experiences with
the Multnomah delegation to the leg-
islature and said that the amendment
to the state's laws necessary to extend
the right of lien to florists and nursery-
men, for goods furnished or service or
labor performed, was a short and con-
cise extension to the mechanics' lien
laws already in force. A bill for such
extension is now before the state sen-
ate.

President Walker reported that F. A.
Van Kirk had been elected a trustee of
the association formed to guard the in-
terests of the rose test garden proposed
by the American Eose Society. In the
ensuing discussion several members
spoke of the benefits of such a garden
to the trade and to the "Rose City."
Someone asked about the experimental
gardens started last spring under the
supervision of Father Schoener. It was
reported that there had been consider-
able friction between Father Schoener
and the committee of shareholders in
the garden association, and that work
at the gardens had been partly sus-
pended.

The president announced the nomi-
nating committee, as required by the
by-laws. The committeemen are Wil-
liam Borsch, chairman; Henry Birchler,
A. I. Gale, William E. Wood. S. G. Lub-
liner, A. Matsinger and J. Zimmerman.
The committee will report at the May
meeting and the election takes place in
June.

J. G. Baeher, of the program com-
mittee, presented several questions for
nisoussion. The first was, "What flow-
ering shrubs are considered desirable
'\v the retailer as spring-blooming pot
plants?" The reply was made by A.
J- ^^larke, who said, in part: "The list

LOSS or CONIFEROUS SEEDLINGS.

Damping-off of coniferous seedlings,
in the opinion of forest pathologists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, causes losses ordinarily consid
erably heavier than the nurseryman re-
alizes. Young seedlings decay and dis
appear so soon after infection that thr
number of dead seedlings visible at any
one time is but a small part of thr
total loss. Furthermore, many of tht
seedlings are killed immediately after
the seed sprouts and before the seed
lings appear above the soil surface.

THE CONARD & JONES CO.
W«at Grove, Pa.

Many failures hitherto attributed to
poor germination, in the opinion of the
specialists, are due in reality to the
work of the damping-off parasites in the
sprouting seed, underground. The high
price of most evergreen seed, which
ranges from a minimum of 50 cents per
pound for western yellow pine to $2 to
$4 per pound quoted for native spruces,
and even $5 to $10 per pound for Nor-
way pine, makes the loss of young seed-
lings a serious expense.

To assist nurserymen in controlling
damping-oflF, the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture conducted exten-
sive experiments in various sections of
the country. The methods employed in
these experiments and the success at-
tending their use are reported fully in
i'rofessional Paper No. 453, "The Con-
trol of Damping-Oflf of Coniferous Seed-
lings," by Carl Hartley, forest pathol-
ogist, and Roy G. Pierce, forest assist-
ant, Bureau of Plant Industry,

ter to sow broadcast than in drills. Late
fall sowing results in decreased losses
at some nurseries and is worth trial.
Proper attention to all of these meas-
ures will decrease the losses from damp-
ing-off, but at most nurseries they are
not sufBcient really to control the dis-
ease.

The addition of lime, wood ashes,
and in some £ases nitrogenous fertil-
izers seems to increase damping-off.
The use of unrotted stable manure has
had bad results; properly rotted ma-
nures seem .less objectionable.

Soil disinfection has so far proved"
the best method of combating damping-
off. Of many methods tested, treat-
ments with sulphuric acid, copper sul-
phate, zinc chloride and formaldehyde

have proved the most satisfactory. The
disinfectants, however, behave quite
differently at different nurseries. In ad-
dition to decreasing damping-off after
the seedlings come up, the chemical dis-
infectants, when properly used, cause
an increase in the apparent germination
and are very helpful in controlling
weeds. This latter effect alone at some
nurseries pays the entire expense of the

treatment. Sulphuric acid has, further-

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Business at this time is remarkably
active. The florists are more than
pleased, as well as greatly surprised, at
the way things are running. The im-
mense quantity of funeral work called
for daily is rather out of the ordinary.
At this season business generally is
somewhat quiet, but it cannot be called
that now. We are on the eve of Febru-
ary graduations and several large orders
have already been placed. Counter
trade was good last week, with a brisk
sale of potted bulbous stock. Owing to
the scarcity of cut flowers, pans of
potted hyacinths, fitted with handles
and decorated with mats and chifl'on,
have been pushed for funeral work.

The daily shipments are not so heavy
as the trade really calls for in some
lines. Roses are not so plentiful as
might be desired, and the high prices
are keenly felt. Good varieties reach
us, including Montrose, Francis Scott
Key, Sunburst, Ward, Maryland and
Killarney roses. Sweetheart roses sell
well. Orchids and gardenias are not
overplentiful. The supply of valley
meets all demands, but the quality of
some of the shipments cannot be con-
sidered good. Easter lilies sell easily
and the demand for callas is somewhat
larger. Freesias sell well. White and
pink bouvardias find their way to the
market in small quantities. The demand
for jonquils and Paper Whites has been
heavy during the last few days. Car-
nations are not overplentiful, because
of the lack of sunshine. Sweet peas
move steadily at good prices. Violets
continue good and sell well. Roman
hyacinths and stevias are n,ot plentiful.
A good supply of cypripediums is on
hand.

Various Notes.

Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit,
N. Y., has a house of fine sweet peas,
which are now coming into bloom.
His Easter stock is splendid indeed and
the cut promises to be large.

George T. Boucher reports business as
being brisk. He has had an unusual
quantity of funeral work during the last
two weeks, which has necessitated put-
ting on a new designer, Frank Mahoney,
formerly of Buffalo. His East avenue
window display in purple and gold was
most attractive, jonquils and primulas
being used liberally.

Paul Campus, who for several years
has occupied a stand at the corner of
Main and Exchange streets, will open
up a new store at 137 South Clinton
street, under the name of Rosery Flower
Shop. He intends to have the opening
in about a week.

DONALD MacDONALD

A new Hawlmark Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson and
Sons. This rose has been tested for winter forcing for two years, and
it produces more red roses during the winter than any rose now being
grown. It is not a large rose, but has perfectly formed medium sized
flowers that sell at sight. Color bright orange carmine; will not turn
blue because the base of the petals are orange.

It is not a summer rose, as it has the same substance as Killarney,
and from Thanksgiving until May it is a money maker for the rose
grower, as no pinching is necessary.

Strong Grafted Plants $35.00 per 100

PRIMROSE

This beautiful forcing rose is of the general type of Ophelia. The
young foliage is a lovely bronzy maroon finishing bronzy green, and is
of good habit and free growth.

The bud is long and pointed, ideal in form, and the color is Indian-
yellow with apricot shadings, color at base of petals deep golden; has
splendid stem. A fine novelty.

lustrate this condition.) "Azalea mol-
lis, Kalmia latifolia, Prunus Schei-
deckii, rhododendron, Hydrangea Hor-
tensia and paniculata, Spiraea Van
Houttei, lilac, magnolia, are among the
kinds most likely to produce salable
plants. The imported shrubs usually
have too few buds to make showy
plants. ' '

The second question was, "What va-
rieties oi hardy perennials are best for
pot culture or forcing?" George Zim-
merman answered and named lily of the
valley, Dicentra spectabilis, myosotis,
helleborus, double arabis, violets, trol-
lius, Funkia variegata, calendula, coreop-
sis. The delphiniums and Canterbury
bells do not force well, said another
member.

Third question: "Name twelve
hardy shrubs best for an amateur to
plant in a small home garden." Reply
by Guy M. Pilkington: "Jasmine,
weigeJa, spiraea, cotoneaster, Japanese
single snowball, syringa, buddleia, bar-
berry, elder, lilac, high cranberry,
abelia and, if the garden could accom-
modate but one plant, I would suggest
Spiraja Van Houttei."

A vote of thanks was tendered,
through August Zitzewitz, to all who
took part in the entertainment on la-
dies' night. A banquet and cards in-
terested nearly everyone until the cur-
few rang.

Various Notes.

E. H. White, of the Willamette Dahlia
& Floral Co., says this has been an un-
favorable season for dahlias and that all
the growers have lost heavily on account
of the roots rotting. Early frosts fol-
lowed by heavy rains have caused the
trouble.

The Eahn & Herbert Co. sold out so
closely during the holidays that it has
found it hard to fill orders for blooming
plants since. The empty benches are
being filled with bedding stock. Several
houses that are uncovered in summer
have been closed in with coldframe
sashes and planted to roses and other
stock for early spring blooming.

William E. Wood, of the Scott-Wood
Co., says his concern has built a store for
a retail salesroom in front of the main
greenhouse.

The Irvington Park Floral Co. has
closed its store on Union avenue, near
Broadway, and will devote its entire at-
tention to its store in the Cascade Mar-
ket building in the public market dis-
trict.

The following incident, which recent-
ly happened here, shows that a florist is
expected to know nearly everything and
demonstrates how one of them made
good under difficult circumstances. The
wife of a prominent minister was per-
sonally directing the arrangement of
her home decorations, which the young
man from the flower store was putting
in place. Being called away, she gave
him instructions how to finish. Select-

about the rooms and the florist at once

recall about Moses was that he had some-

The New Queen of Red Roses

The buds of this new and beautiful red rose average two to three
inches long, and open into large flowers with soft, velvety petals.

The color is a rich brilliant red, new and very attractive.

Stems run from eighteen to forty-two inches without pinching.
Foliage is a rich green.

Its shipping and keeping qualities are remarkable. A dozen
specimen roses were brought by train from Champaign to Chicago,
taken to several places, inspected and finally left lying on a desk in
our office. Though in bloom when finally put in water and placed in
our refrigerator, we found them closed to buds in the morning.

"Mrs. Sarah Yeats" is not an experimental rose, but one that has
been successfully produced under ordinary greenhouse conditions.

The Horists' Review

Jandaby 25, 1917.

OMAHA, NEB.

The Market.

Business has been unusually good dur-
ing the last few weeks. The supply of
roses now is rather inadequate and
prices are high. Carnations are plenti-
ful; some of them are good, but more of
them are extremely poor. Why do some
growers persist in overfeeding their car-
nations and burning them up with to-
bacco smoke? They do it year in and
year out, and then wonder why the
stems are so weak, why they get so
many splits and why their stock has not
the keeping qualities it ought to have.

Violets and sweet peas are plentiful
and of fair quality, but valley, snap-
dragons and calendulas are scarce.
Greens of all kinds are plentiful.

Various Notes.

The report that the Misses Longren
and Swedland, who conduct the Flower
Shop, have dissolved partnership, is not
founded on facts. It was news to the
partners themselves.

Stewart's Seed Store reports business
good in all lines. The force is busy these
days getting ready for the spring rush.
The new catalogue is just off the press
and is a credit to the concern.

Hess & Swoboda report their rose crop
as being short of the demand, but that
they have plenty of other flowers to help
out. This firm has some of the finest
cyclamens ever seen in this locality.

Mrs. Lewis Henderson has been suf-
fering from poisoning in the hands
caused by rose thorns.

The regular meeting of the Omaha
and Council Bluffs Florists' Club will
be held Tuesday, February 8. A full
attendance is requested.

Kecent visitors included M. Le Vine,

The Florists' Review

Jancari 26, 1917.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

The Market.

With the close of this week there was
a scarcity of cut flowers of all kinds,
caused by an unusual quantity of fu-
neral work, despite the fact that there
was a large quantity of cut stock com-
ing into the market. The supply of low-
grade stock is unusually light in com-
parison with that of former years. Dur-
ing this month it seems as though
everyone is growing a better grade of
stock. Boses of all grades are high in
price and less in number than at any
time since last summer. The quality is
all that could be desired. Carnations
have not been so plentiful as formerly.
There have been few splits this season,
and the only flower to be had that is
cheap at present is a split carnation.

Sweet peas are good and have long
stems. Good prices are obtained for
these and they now are the most plenti-
ful flowers in the market. Lilies are
about the same as last week; the supply
is not large, b.ut sufficient for the de-
mand. There still are some high-grade
stevias, but the season is about over.
Bulbous stock is more plentiful than
formerly, especially tulips and jonquils.
Paper Whites are about the same as last
week.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Elberfield have de-
parted for a two to three weeks' vaca-
tion in the south. The store force re-
ports that out-of-town funeral work has
been unusually heavy.

Nelson Jarrett reports business bet-
ter than it ever has been. He has one
house of ferns and one of begonias; the
rest of the range is devoted to bedding
stock. Mr. Jarrett has been paying, and
expects to keep on paying, a lot of spe-
cial taxes. The boulevard, sidewalk
curbing and street paving taxes all
come at once.

R. E. Sturgeon has his houses in good
condition. The butterfly sweet peas are
good and the men are getting bedding
stock into line for the spring trade.

H. B. Laundy & Son are busily pre-
paring for the Easter trade. They will
have a nice line of begonias and lilies.

W. J. Barnes had one of his busiest
weeks in funeral work. There were
three prominent funerals in one day
near his establishment.

Arthur Newell reports a record-
breaking week in funeral work, both in
and out of town, and business in general
also is satisfactory.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. cut some
roses last week that were hard to beat.

Jacob Hepting is a busy man. His
carnations this year have done excep-
tionally well. He now has over 20,000
young carnations in 2-inch pots and a
large number of cuttings in the sand.

Henry Kusik & Co. report that some
of the largest shipments ever made of
cut flowers were made during the last
three days. They report roses scarce.

John S. Meyer last week died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles E.
Heite. He is survived by two sons and
four daughters.

The municipal greenhouses across the
line, in the city park, suffered a loss
from fire of about $2,000. Immediately
after the fire J. B. Clark, superintend-
ent of parks, had a force of men rigging
up a temporary greenhouse to protect
the stock that had escaped the flames.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

Tlie Market.

An unusually large number of wed-
dings and funerals has caused business
to become more active. The weather
has been rather severe and flowers, es-
pecially loses and carnations, are slow
to open.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club met January 10 at
J. C. Elspermann 's. After the business
routine C. E. Gyseman gave_ a talk on
pansies and begonias. He was given a
vote of thanks. The next meeting will
be at Karl Zeidler's, Thursday evening,
t'ebruary 15, instead of February 14, St.
Valentine's day.

C. E. Gyseman has part of the glass
on his new house. The weather has de-
layed the work greatly.

Otto Kucbler has a stand in the
Kresge's 5 and lO-ccnt store, where he
sells plants and flowers on a commission
basis. The stand is near the door and
neatlv arranged. E. L. F.

CLEVELAND, O.

Cleveland expects to be well repre-
sented at the annual meeting of the
American Carnation Society at Indian-
apolis next week. Small announcement
cards giving details of the trip have
been circulated through the wholesale
houses and mailed to all the private gar-
deners in the Cleveland section. A spe-
cial rate of $6.50 each way has been se-
cured. A special car will be attached
to the regular Big Four train leaving
Cleveland at midnight January 30. M.
A. Vinson, who is in charge of organiz-
ing the Cleveland party, thinks that two
sleepers will be needed, judging by the
interest shown and the questions asked
in regard to the details of the trip.

The return trip will be made through
Richmond, wliere the big plant of the E.
G. Hill Co. will be inspected. Those who
desire to accompany the Cleveland party
should notify M. A. Vinson, 402 Leader
building, or leave word with any one of
the five Cleveland wholesale houses.

At the annual meeting the Cleveland
delegation will extend an invitation to
the American Carnation Society to hold
a fall meeting together with a fall show
in Cleveland, as part of the Cleveland
flower show, November 6 to 11, 1917.

Creenhonse Heating.

SuBSOBiBKBS 8X6 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.

HEAT FOR BOOTINO CONIFERS.

We intend to install a heating system
in a shed attached to our packing house.
The shed is eighty feet long and will be
heated by a 7-8ection Moninger boiler,
located directly to the south. We wish
to know what piping will be needed
to heat this shed to the right temper-
ature for rooting cuttings of conifers,
etc. The temperature, I suppose, should
be 55 to 60 degrees in the coldest
weather. The height of the shed is eight
feet at the west side and twelve feet at
the east side, where there is a wooden
wall. The west or outside wall contains
three feet of concrete; the remainder
is glass. The south end also is glass.
There are three benches, arranged as
follows: A 3-foot bench against the
concrete wall on the west, a 6-foot bench
in the center and a 3-foot bench at the
back or east side. V. N. — N. C.

The letter does not state the width
of the house, but from the width and
number of the benches we infer that it
ia approximately sixteen feet. We are
also in some doubt about the construc-
tion of the house. It would appear that
there is a wooden wall twelve feet high
on the east side and that the west wall
has three feet of concrete and five feet
of glass. The building is spoken of
as a "shed," but we infer that the
roof as well as the south gable is of
glass.

If this is correct, there would be not
far from twenty-two feet of glass, meas-
uring from the top of the concrete wall
to the plate on the east side. For a
temperature of 50 to 60 degrees in zero
weather we would use a 2i/^-inch flow
pipe upon each plate and nine 2-inch
returns, distributed under the benches.

PIPING A SET OF FRAMES.

\ am enclosing a sketch of a pro-
posed set of ten coldframes, each ]2x
100, to be used in the spring, from
March onward, to take care of bedding
stock, geraniums, etc. They will be
about twelve feet away from the green-
house boiler room. How can I heat the
frames successfully with 2-inch pipe
for flows and l^/Vinch pipe for re-
turns? I shall use glass cloth if
practicable, sloping it to each side like
a roof, with a ridge along the middle
of each frame. The boiler pit is sunk
six feet below the surface of the ground.
How many of these frames can be heated
by a boiler rated at 750 feet of radia-

tion, when the outside temperature is
about 10 degrees above zero? The
frames will require a temperature of not
less than 45 degrees at night.

Could I run the main flow and return
directly across the end of the row of
frames and just below the surface of
the ground, so as to allow teams to be
driven over? And can I attach a tee
for each frame, thence running the pipe
down one side of the frame and back
on the other side, dropping it down into
the return? How much more heat can
I retain by using glass over the glass
cloth? I intend to use the Skinner sys-
tem of irrigation in connection with
this arrangement. Can you give me any
suggestions on the proper installation
of the sprinkling system?

J. O. S.— N. Y.

For a hotbed twelve feet in width
we would use, for a temperature of 45
degrees when the outside temperature
is 10 degrees above zero, one 2-ineh
overhead flow pipe, placed about one
foot below the ridge, and a 2-inch
return pipe upon each side wall. A
little later in the season, or if the plants
are such that it may be ])ossible to drop
the temperature to 40 degrees in cold
nights in March, one 2-inch flow

answer. They would also sufiice if
glass sashes are placed over the glass
cloth covering. Provided the top of
the boiler is two feet below the level of
the returns, there should be no diflB-
culty about running the main flow and
return pipes as proposed, but we prefer
to run an overhead flow, with two re-
turns on the sides of the frames for the
heating pipes.

In severe weather, each of the frames
will require nearly 200 square feet of
radiating surface, so that a heater rated
for 750 square feet will only handle
four of the frames. Later on, it should
be able to heat from six to ten of the
frai7ies, according to the outside tem-
jioraturo and the amount of heat desired
inside the frames.

There should l)e no difliculty in wa-

On the begonias, cyclamens and poinset-
tias, and also on some of the ferns, the
leaves become discolored and finally
they drop off. The primroses and most
of the ferns seem at present to be doing
well, but perhaps after I have been
firing longer they, too, will commence
to show the effects.

I cannot detect the odor of gas or any
fumes when T enter the greenhouse, and

particularly affected by it. We can only
say that the utmost care will be neces-
sary, if the gas stoves lure to be used,
both in securing a perfect combustion
and in carrying off all fumes.

It is possible that some of the trouble
referred to is caused by lack of proper
ventilation. We would suggest that on
bright days the ventilators at the ridge
be opened from two to six inches and
that sufficient heat be furnished to keep
the house at 70 degrees. On cloudy days
the amount of ventilation should be
somewhat reduced, but for ordinary
plants, like those mentioned, the tem-
perature need not then be more than 60
to 63 degrees.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

During the last two or three weeks
market conditions have been rather pe-
culiar— some days there was a shortage
of stock and other days there was a glut
of stock. This state of affairs is at-
tributed to a rush of funeral orders fol-
lowed by a quiet spell. Flowers for sick
rooms have been popular, the light col-
ors being in largest demand. Couater
trade has been a little below normal.
Eoses have been scarce and have brought
from $4 to $10. Good Beauties are es-
pecially rare. The supply of carnations
is short, with the exception of reds,
which bring only from $2 to $4, with
white and pink making $4. Easter lilies
and callas are not meeting the demand.
Paper Whites have been popular and
have been quoted at $3, with Jonquils
and yellow narcissi bringing $3 and $4.

The dark, cloudy weather averted a
sweet pea glut. Last week these
blooms were scarce and the first com-
plaints of their dropping the buds have
just been heard. At present they are
making GO cents to $1.50 per hundred.
Violets of good quality are to be had
at 60 cents to $1 per hundred. Roman
hyacinths are popular, with an ample
supply on hand. Other small flowers
are beginning to appear, such as freesias,
snapdragons and pansies, and they are
indeed welcome.

Various Notes.

Indiana florists are menaced by two
new insect pests, which have come to
the notice of the state entomologist's
oflice, according to R. E. Snodgrass, as-
sistant entomologist. One of these is a
borer which has been discovered by in-
spectors in rose stocks imported from
England and Ireland. The other pest is
a chrysanthemum gall fly, which already
has (ione considerable damage in Indi-
ana. The rose pest lives within the
stems of rose plants and can be detected
only by casual observation of cut stems.
The chrysanthemum fly forms little
warts, or galls, on the leaves and stems
in which the flies live during the worm
stage. Tobacco fumes will kill the
chrysanthemum pest.

Brown, the Florist, has discontinued
business and accepted a position at
West Baden.

Some noise about a retail florists' as-
sociation was started. What has be-
come of it ?

A retail florist recently remarked that
St. Valentine's day did not amount to
anything, because- the only stock in de-
mand was violets and red roses, and
that these flowers were more scarce at
that time and almost impossible to pro-
cure. Yes, this statement is correct, if
the florist sits in an easy chair waiting

Fire wrecked a section of the Hamp-

Meadows last week, causing a loss of
nearly $2,500. It is believed that hot

in ruins. The flames were checked, how-
ever. James Ennis, of Providence, is the

The Florists' Review

January 25, 1917.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

There have been no radical changes
in market conditions during the last
week. Everything remains the same,
except that a few items have either in-
creased or decreased in supply.

American Beauties continue along
about the same, but Eussell and Francis
Scott Key roses are short in supply.
Ophelia, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Sunburst and
Killarney are plentiful enough from day
to day. At the end of the week carna-
tions were in larger supply, but cleared
without any difficulty.

Freesias, Roman hyacinths and
stevias are quite abundant, and other
spring flowers are now being cut in large
quantities. The prices still remain the
same. A few exceptionally fine sweet
peas are seen occasionally. The valley
supply is good; the same is true of vio-
lets. Orchids are clinging to the scarce
side. Green stock is quite plentiful and
sells well, especially asparagus.

Various Notes.

A fine batch of giganteum lilies may
be seen at A. J. Reichert 's greenhouses.

S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., Philadelphia, was in town last week.
He reports a most satisfactory business!

The next big day that florists should
look forward to is St. Valentine's, and
they should try to make it the most suc-
cessful ever recorded. Early advertis-
ing is the most essential part.

The carnations at Barney Meyer's es-
tablishment, at Lancaster, are looking
Ti 11 and the men will be cutting vast
quantities within a short time. The flow-
ers are of good size and have good stems.
Mr. Meyer is oflfering some extra fine
valley.

Extensive improvements have been
made at the greenhouses of Conrad For-
bach. As most of the work here is in
the cemetery in the spring, things at
present are somewhat quiet.

Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wiese, Mrs. Buck-
hardt and Miss Hose Wiese left last
week for California, where they expect
to remain for about two months. They
will stop oflf at all of the larger cities
and visit the flower markets.

J. I'eakc, who injured himself about
three weeks ago with a rusty wire, the
wound later developing into blood pois-
nninjj, is slowly recovering.

The annual automobile show opened
at the Broadway auditorium January 22.
This show always has had a tendency
to stimulate business indirectly.

W. J. Palmer & Son experienced an
other heavy run in fiinoral work last
week.

The coal problem seems to be much
the same at Buffalo as at other places.
The only way coal can be obtained is
by being persistent in demands for de-
livery. The severe weather that set in
January 2 will make a still stronger de-
mand for fuel. A. E.

LANCASTER, PA.

The Lancaster County Florists' Club
met Thursday evening, January 18, in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Car-
nation night brought out a large attend-
ance of members. On exhibition in the
newer carnations were Superb, a seed-
ling of Gloriosa x Enchantress, of
flesh pink color, and Doris, a beautiful
brilliant maroon. Eosalia, a cerise pink
of large size, was shown and attracted
much attention. A vase each of Belle
Washburn and Miss Theo looked like
two good commercials in their respec-
tive colors. Among the new roses shown
was Donald MacDonald, sent out this
year by Alex. Dickson & Sons, a variety
that lias the reputation of producing
more flowers during the winter than
any other red now growing. There were
exhibits of Primrose, an Indian-yellow,
of the general type of Ophelia; Eosalie,
a beautiful little corsage pink rose; Lit-
tle Gem, a fine yellow. The club was
indebted to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan
Co., of Philadelphia, for this fine show-
ing of the new varieties.

Elmer J. Weaver, of Eonks, Pa., read
a paper on "The Newer Carnations."
Mr. Weaver has been growing carnations
since the days of Hinze's White and
Portia, and, as his observation is keen,
his conclusions are of much worth.

The election of oflBcers for 1917 re-
sulted as follows: President, Harry A.
Schroyer; vice-president, W. B. Girvin;
secretary, Frank L. Kohr; treasurer,
Harry K. Eohrer. The president ap-
pointed the following committees to
serve for the ensuing year: Program,
Eudolpli Nagel, Charles B. Herr, Albert
M. Herr; visiting, Willis B. Girvin,
L. S. Landis, Ira H. Landis; automobile,
Charles M. Weaver, A. K. Eohrer, C. S.
Loeffler; sports, David F. Eose, A. F.
Strickler, Charles H. Tucker; exhibi-
tions, B. F. Barr, M. J. Brinton, J. De
Barry Heinitsh.

Mr. Kost, of the W. F. Kasting Co.,
Buffalo, N. Y., was a visitor.

Prior to the meeting at 2 p. m., fifteen
florists went to Strasburg and visited
Amos N. Eohrer and Charles B. Herr.
At Mr. Eohrer 's was found the usual
fine quality stock. Supreme, White
Wonder and Ward are the leading carna-
tions, with Matchless and Alice Coombs
in lesser quantities. The Yarrawa peas
looked most promising. In potted stock,
daisies, cyclamens, Chinese primroses
and heliotropes were of high merit.

The members then walked a mile to
the Charles B. Herr range, where Match-
less, Mrs. Ward, Supreme, Beacon and
Alice Coombs are flowering, all in fine
shape.

Some of the party then walked an-
other mile to the J. Gayley establish-
ment, where the new King house filled
with Matchless carnations is a wonder-
ful sight. The other houses are filled
with Alice and Supreme, and also are
extra good.

The next meeting will be held Thurs-
day, February 15. H. K. R.

The Florists' Review

Jandabt 25, 1917.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

The Market.

Extremely cold weather haa made
prices soar. Stock of all kinds, how-
ever, is of good quality. Carnations
are of exceptional merit and still main-
tain their price of $1.25, which they
have held ever since the days just after
Christmas. Violets are more plentiful,
but the price still holds up. Good sweet
peas and roses are to be had. Among
other flowers are pansies, calendulas,
mignonette, marguerites and narcissi.

Various Notes.

William E. Mosher reports business to
be steadily improving. Carnations have
sold well with him, even though the
price remains high.

Ernest Chamberlain is to vacate hia
present store on Union street about
February 1 and move into his former
stand at 3 South Sixth street.

William H. Davenport declares busi-
ness unusually dull for this time of the
year.

A fine crop of violets and pansies
will be cut at the establishment of Ed-
ward M. Pierce for St. Valentine's day.
Mr. Pierce is offering good mignonette.

The New Bedford Horticultural So-
ciety held its regular meeting January
7. OflScer* were elected for the ensuing
year. W. M. P.

Wauseon, O. — A floral replica of the
American flag recently was made by the
Wauseon Floral Co. for the funeral here
oi a soldier shot on the Mexican bor-
der. The "flag" was imbedded in a
panel of boxwoods, which was trimmed
with red and white carnations and ste-
via. The stars in Old Glory were rep-
resented by single florets of Paper White
narcissi, on a field of blue immortelles.

This is not the time to build greenhouses, but it is a good time to think about it. Dietsch construction has
stood the test of years. Not only are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each
house an improvement over the last. Our construction is advancing with the times. We advocate nothing
that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than we are now building, and they will be built
by us.

It will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construction.

METROPOLITAN
EFFICIENCY

ASSURES SUCCESS

These two Metropolitan Greenhouses were
erected by us for Mr. G. Mabon, of Nor-
folk, Conn.

Mr. Mabon placed his order for these
greenhouses with this organization be-
cause he understands the Metropolitan
method of construction, the success of
which is entirely due to its efficiency,
economy and speed.

No matter how large or how small the
job. this organization strives constantly
to increase the value of the owner's in-
vestment in his greenhouse.

Wood Dirt Bands

Our new wood dirt bands have met
with instant favor, and why not?
You can't help but like them.
Saves time and money, with better
results.

The Ideal Dirt Band

is made of strips of wood, thin as
cardboard, cut to lock together,
making a stronger and more eco-
nomical dirt band than those made
of paper. Try them and be convinced.
We cut them to fit any bench or flat.
Thousands can be set up in a few min-
utes. Better give us a sample order,
NOW.

VgQETABLE PLANTS.

TWO VERY PROFITABLE WINTER CROPS,
RHUBARB AND ASPARAGUS, can be easily
and quickly grown in the cellar or greenhouse
during the winter. As they sell for very high
prices, they can be very profitably grown even
on a small scale. Asparagus sells readily in
the winter at 50c per bunch of six stalks. I
can supply sections of 10-yr. asparagus roots.
These have very large roots and crowns and will
produce large stalks quickly. Directions for
growing sent free with each order. Asparagus
roots, 60c per 12, $2.50 per 100, $18.00 per 1000;
rhubarb roots, 90c per 12, $4.60 per 100, $35.00
per 1000.

An Open Letter

ON

I Jacobs' Greenhouses

S. Jacobs & Sons.

. Gentlemen:— I am pleased to state that
the greenhouse which you erected on the
roof of the Beth Israel Hospital has proven
very satisfactory indeed.

We are utilizing the same as a laboratory,
and, although we thought it would be too
hot in summer, have managed by painting
the top of the glass with two coats of white
paint, to keep out the intense heat of the
sun and yet at the same time preserve the
light. We also find that we can heat up the
house very nicely in cold weather, and, as
far as ventilation is concerned, it is excel-
lently adapted. The house has withstood
severe storms and proved to be a very sub-
stantial structure.

Visitors to the laboratory speak in high
terms of its beauty and substantiality.

I am very glad to recommend the
house and your workmanship.
Very truly yours.
L. J. FRANK, Supt. Beth Israel Hosp.

"TANK GRADE"
CYPRESS

No other lumber manufactured is subjected to such close inspection and is graded so carefully as
CTpresB. 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 GKADE" 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. S. CYPRESS Pocket Library, tells a lot about greenhouse construction; Vols. 4 and 20 are for the
farmer. They coDlain plans for all outbuildings, and they are absolutely free. There are 42 of these books,
and you would better help yourself to them. Get the Carpentry Book, Vol. 30, telling you how to make easy
a dozen hard jobs of carpentry; 7(^1. 37 is the big Silo Book. Both are full of plans for buildings and are
handsomely illustrated.

No matter where you look —

—even if you go over the house with a
microscope— you'll find everything shipshape.

But this house is no exception— all AGMCO houses are built to stand this test. That's
why the CUDAHY FLORAL CO., of Cudahy, Wis., gave their order for three houses,
each 30 x 17(5 feet, to us. Here's an inside gable view of one of them.

You can judge for yourself after looking it over. Or, better still, if you find yourself in Milwau-
kee, take a run out to Cudahy— look the houses over— then talk them over with G. W. Scott, the
^ general manager. When you get through with him you'll realize that you can't afford to build a

D large range without getting a figure from us— that it isn't wise to build a small house until you've r-.
... seen us. U

You intense growers— you high pressure greenhouse men that throw all your energies into your
business— that keep an eye on everything that touches your business— that are prepared to grasp
and make your own everything that will advance your business— who have made it your business
to know what constitutes a good greenhouse— it is from you that we court searching examination,
investigation and comparison.

/m

Take every detail of construction— analyze it— apply every test— weigh
it against that of other types of construction, and you will do as the
CUDAHY FLORAL CO. did- YOU'LL pin YOUR faith to the AGMCO -

The his^hest priced and the cheapest greenhouse.

John C. Moninger Co.,

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, Nov 18. 1916.

Gentlemen : —

After finishing my recent addition, it is no more than justice that I write you concerning the materials
furnished. Since starting with my first house of Moninger construction, I have continually added until
now my range consists of 150,000 square feet, and not one stick of any but your material.

When starting. I made a-careful study of all construction firms, deciding that Dollar for Dollar you
people gave me an ideal proposition. Since that time I have never found the slightest reason for changing
this opinion.

Further, you people are progressive enough to make the small improvements so essential to the flo-
rist, and while the first material was excellent, every additional lot looks better. Your general service
and pleasant way of adjusting small difficulties cannot be too highly commended.

Wishing you a very prosperous and successful future. I am

Yours very truly,

Morrison, 111., December 8, 1916.
.John A. Evans Co., Richmond, Ind.

Gentlemen : We have just received the forty 20th Century Double-acting Arms
ordered from you a lew days ago. Our putting the vents closer together than was
called for in specifications accounts for requiring this additional material.

Our houses are nearly all equipped with your ventilating machinery, and we find
same very satisfactory in every respect. Your Double-acting 20th Century Arm is
more serviceable than the others we have in use, and if properly installed needs no
more attention at all. We consider your Arm the perfect one.

We wish to thank you for your promptness in filling this order and for the cour-
teous treatment extended in the past. Yours very truly, Davis & Steiner.
