The decision rests with the State Administrators, who should be consulted. ilECAUSE of an unexpected B surplus of certain kinds of coal, the United States Fuel Administration last week let the bars to flo- fc » ^ rists nearly down; we may a) v.^^.^^ burn all we need of bitumi- Xja^'Tj ^ nous coal, all sizes; all the 'I steam anthracite, or buck- wheat, and coke breeze. Through an order issued October 26 to the State Fuel Administrators by H. A. Garfield, U. S. Fuel Administrator, flo- rists are to be allowed to buy and burn any of the classes of fuel mentioned, provided, of course, there is a local sup- ply in excess of the needs of the indus- tries on the priority list of the U. S. War Industries Board. That there is such an excess in all the states wherein bituminous coal mines are located is the statement of the State Fuel Administrators. In its campaign to speed up production so that there would not be another coal famine in the United States this winter, the Fuel Ad- ministration, through the cooperation of the mine operators and miners, appears to have overshot the mark. ' ' We are millions of tons of bituminous coal ahead of consumption," was stated November 1 at the office of the State Fuel Administra- tor for Illinois. Consequently there is no doubt that florists in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and the other middle western states can have all the coal they want. Comes Bather Late. In many cases undoubted- ly this change in the order of the Fuel Administration will not be of much benefit to the owners of greenhouse ranges. Many of them have so made their plans that the permission to use a 100 per cent supply of coal comes too late; houses are empty, or even torn down. There are many others, however, who have gone on the assumption that a way would be found to operate their establishments at ca- pacity, and they are win- ners. No small number of the latter optimists have in the bins their full season's supply. To these the latest order means that they can use the coal they bought on specu- lation, without the danger of being branded as disloyal through having to make an involuntary contribution to the Red Cross. While the order, which is given in full on this page, was not issued at Wash- ington until October 26, it was not unex- pected, as during the last several weeks, as reported in The Review, the larger greenhouse owners in Chicago have been besieged by coal salesmen to place orders for prepared sizes of bituminous, or the mine-run coal of prewar days. Plenty of Coal Now. Some were doubtful about permission to burn this coal after they had pur- chased it, while others have been buying steadily on the theory that if coal was going begging they might just as well have it. Apparently the latest order of the Fuel Administration will bring most re- lief to the trade east of Indiana, all in Indiana, Illinois and west of the Mis- sissippi having previously been granted the right to use screenings. Because of their geographical location and the fact that the coal mines of the country had THE OFFICIAL ORDER uniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ^-^ Washing-ton, D. C. October 26, 1918. TO ALL STATE FUEL ADMINISTRATORS: Until further notice State Fuel Administrators may permit florists"to receive and burn bituminous coal, steam anthracite, or coke breeze without having: such fuel apply on their fifty per cent quota, as defined by the Fuel Administration curtailment order of April 24, 1918, whenever there is a surplus of such fuel which, in the opinion of the State Administrator, can be spared for such purpose. (Signed) H. A. GARFIELD, U. S. Fuel Administrator. been placed in zones,, which did not allow shipments of coal from one section to another, the greenhouse owners along the Atlantic seaboard have had some difficulty in securing even the fifty per cent of their normal coal consumption allowed by the order of the Fuel Ad- ministration issued last April. The inclusion in this latest order of "steam anthracite," which is the buck- wheat the eastern growers have been using for years, as was stated in The Review's Philadelphia letter last week, undoubtedly means that this class of coal, too, is plentiful and that this method has' been taken to relieve the market of the surplus. If it were not a «iatter of transpor- tation, the surplus of bituminous coal in the middle western states would be grabbed by the eastern florists, many of whom have not been able up to a few weeks ago to get deliveries on the coal they had ordered. The situation is saved for growers in Ohio if they are planted up or have means of planting the houses now being vacated by mums. In The Review for October 31 there was printed a statement from Dr. Gar- field assuring the people of the country that the situa- tion is so well in hand that there will be no fuel famine this winter. The order al- lowing florists to burn 100 per cent of their fuel re- quirements, wherever there is a surplus, followed close on the heels of this an- nouncement. Helps Optimists. That the order has come too late to help most of the large growers of plants and cut flowers seems probable. Recent reports from various parts of the country have been telling of this concern which has sold its valuable collection of plants and has prepared to close half its range in order to comply with the Fuel Administra- tion's order, or of that one which will close the houses now filled with mums as soon as the crop is cut. About the only ones who will profit by the order are those optimistic persons who were confident that some- thing would turn up to re- lieve the situation and who planted their places as though there had been no restriction order. These are 10 The Florists^ Review NOTDMBIIB 7, 1918. winners in the uncertain times. While the American florists are hav- ing trouble with the fuel question, they may be consoled with their lot by the contemplation of the trials of their breth- ren in England. After several attempts, the Horticultural Advertiser, London, announces that it has been able to se- cure an official pronouncement on the fuel question. It is: * * Commercial greenhouses primarily devoted to food production may use seventy-five per cent of their normal fuel supplies. "Greenhouses devoted to plants and flowers may use only twenty-five per cent of their normal supplies." And the government over there says: "The use of anthracite for the purpose of heating greenhouses should be en- couraged. ' ' Coal for Private Places. What will interest the gardeners on the private estates in New York state will be the recent order of Delos W. Cooke, State Fuel Administrator for New York. The order reads: "All private greenhouses are privi- leged to receive bituminous coal in an amount equal to one-half of their nor- mal requirements, but under no con- ditions are they to receive or be allowed to burn anthracite coal." THE LONDON MABKET. Business With Our Allies. The consensus being that the future of the war-time flower business in the United States will be much like the ex- perience in England, several readers of The Review have asked as to the pres- ent conditions at Covent Garden, the big trade center in London. The following is an extract from a market report in the Horticultural Advertiser, and deals with conditions in mid-October: "Supplies have been low, and retail- ers who needed a fair quantity of flow- ers, or blooms of special quality, have had to come early to market and be pre- pared to pay a high price. Outdoor flowers are practically over, although a few early chrysanthemums, solidagos, Michaelmas daisies and asters remain. Early risers occasionally see a few or- chids, but these disappear so mysteri- ously that it is evident the demand is always ahead of the market. Semi- early chrysanthemums sell well, espe- cially yellow, white and bronze sorts, but supplies that come through Covent Garden are low. Indeed, there is a sort of "Hush! don't tell" air overhang- ing the flower market and its immediate surroundings. No doubt the recent dull and cold weather has retarded chrysan- themums and probably a week of fine weather will improve matters, but, of course, the production of food has re- duced flower production to a side issue. "It is pretty much the same with plants just now. The popular palms and ferns are in moderate supply and do not go begging. Hydrangeas wear an auto- cratic aspect and heaths scarcely have time to breathe the air of Wellington or Tavistock streets ere they are whisked off. "The supplies of foliage are interest- ing. Bunches of plumy retinisporas and golden cupressus, sheaves of yellow and purple beech, green and ruddy oak, tint- ed prunus and spiraea, green and varie- gated box, laurel, veronica, golden priv- et and even laurestinus are provided and a good business is done in them. For moss and gray lichen there is a mod- est demand and there is no difficulty in disposing of statice in variety. "No one seems to worry much as to whether a luxury tax will be placed on flowers, as there is a general belief that, tax or no tax, carnations and roses are sure to sell^ and as there are not enough of these to go around, there will be room for anything else that can be sent. Melody, Sunburst, Mme. Abel Chatenay and Richmond roses are good for the sea- son and they do not remain long to adorn the market. They have business other- where, chiefly in our hospitals and ceme- teries." DAISIES. Will you please write an article on daisies, giving the blooming time of Shasta daisies? Is Mrs. Sander good for growing outdoors? Mine do not come true. C. M. G. — 111. The Shasta daisies are hardy peren- nials, forms of Chrysanthemum max- imum, and flower outdoors from June until August, according to latitude. They can be lifted also in late fall, planted in deep flats or benches and gently forced under glass. By sowing seeds in winter in the greenhouse, a few seedlings will flower the first year, if set out in nursery rows in the spring. The culture of Shasta daisies is easy. They need well drained ground and must not have too much winter mulch applied, or they are liable to rot. Daisy or Marguerite Mrs. Sander is a splendid outdoor bloomer and the ma- jority of the flowers come double. It also makes a most satisfactory bedding plant. Under glass it is not a satisfac- tory winter bloomer like the old Chrys- anthemum frutescens, white, and Etoile d 'Or, yellow, but is splendid from March onward. The bulk of the flowers under glass will come single or semi- double. If they are grown in pots or shallow benches you will get more and earlier flowers from this white margue- rite than by giving it a more extended root run. C. W. CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS. Something over a year ago the whole- sale florists of Cleveland joined a credit association having country-wide ramifi- cations and time has served to vindi- cate the wisdom of the move. Nobody has been put out of business and credit, as usual, is extended to the worthy. The careless buyer has been taught to purchase more conservatively and hence, benefited; the fellow who will not pay his bills promptly has been forced into other markets; competition is cleaner because the unscrupulous sells his goods with the knowledge that they have been paid for; delinquent lists that formerly covered two or three typewritten pages have now ceased to exist; and last, but not least, business in general has been placed upon a more salutary basis. Addressing the public instead of a limited number, as does the wholesaler, the problem of credit for the retailer is necessarily a more complicated one. But protection against substantial losses and the material reduction of long- drawn-out book accounts might be at least partially secured through con- certed action. Nine times out of ten the smaller florist points to his book business as a reason for his inability to take care of bills when due, the accounts extending from one to three months and even longer and in the end a goodly per- centage lost. This is a bad state of affairs and should be obviated as early as possible. It would seem that much could be ac- complished in this direction by a uni- form extension of credit by retailers. Regular meetings at which credit mat- ters were discussed and records mutually shown could not fail to be productive of ultimate good. Advertising campaigns designed to educate the flower-buying public to the importance of thirty-day settlements might be initiated at such meetings with appreciable results. The grower must be paid semimonthly; the wholesale account must be settled monthly; and that this may be done the retailer must get his money in with reasonable promptitude. Mac. OUR RETIRED FLORISTS. At times the nation is confronted with the problem, what to do with its ex- presidents; on the same theory, the peculiar conditions brought about by the war have caused the voluntary re- tirement of so many florists in the prime of life as to make pertinent in the coun- cils of commercial floriculture the ques- tion, how best to utilize the talents of its prematurely retired members. The facetious might suggest that they be Oslerized; but as the doctor had only the unsuccessful in mind when he pre- scribed his famous treatment, it would scarcely apply. In Cleveland there are a half-score of florists who have retired from active business after having amassed a com- petency, a fact which should serve as an inspiration to the beginner. They are still comparatively young men, with many useful years of life ahead of them, men with practical knowledge and spe- cific business acumen extracted from constant and intelligent application for a quarter-century. They also enjoy health, which is the heritage of men who work with flowers. W-hat a valuable asset to a profession! In every community there are men so circumstanced and, having the time, it would seem that they are the ideal per- sons to supply leadership in our florists' clubs and other trade organizations. The columns of the trade papers also are open to them and, as they necessarily possess much information valuable to their fellow-craftsmen, therein lies a vast sphere of usefulness. By all means, the retired florist, where qualified, should be kept in harness and his great influence for good capitalized by the pro- fession. Mac. NOTDMBKB 7, 1918. The Florists' Review 11 TRADE'S WORKERS NEED NOT WORRY «vl^?svlr?'»^1r7»ar7a^1r7svl^?sv]r?sv]rrs?lr?sv1r?^ OVEBZEAIX)nS FATBIOTS. Scare Florists' Employees. While every florist has paid proper heed to the government's need of utilizing the man-power of the country in war work, there crops up nearly every day some incident where the govern- ment labor agents are going directly against General Crowder's "work or fight" order. Every man from any of the less essential industries who is un- skilled and can be spared from his pres- ent employment should offer himself to the government, but the country will not be the gainer by taking a skilled man from the florists' business and put- ting him to work as a laborer in a mu- nitions or other war work factory at day laborer's wages. An attempt to do the latter in Den- ver was called to the attention of Will- iam F. Gude, Washington representative of the S. A. F., October 26. Mr. Gude already had secured a statement from Provost Marshal General Crowder re- garding his work or fight order. It was published in The Review for Sep- tember 12. Notwithstanding General Crowder's statement, Mr. Gude has again been called on to refute the state- ment that florists must leave their pres- ent employment and seek work in war industries. Describing what has occurred, Mr. Gude says: Mr. Guide's Explanation. "October 26 I received a special de- livery letter enclosing a half page from a daily newspaper, with the statement that all persons in the florists' business from 18 to 56 years of age should either quit their jobs at once or be drafted into military service. "On receipt of this I immediately arranged an audience with the War Industries Board, Priority Division, Washington, D. C, because if there was anything that I could do to help florists ea^, west, north or south, I would do it. Th^^i audience was Monday, October 28, at 2 p. m., at which I presented the letter from Denver, with the clipping from the paper. "After a pleasant conference, I pre- sented our case, stating that my mission was not to obstruct war industry, but to conserve the florists' industry, as well as every other industry, as much as pos- sible while the war was going on. They told me that I should have a written communication the next day. "Therefore, I am enclosing you the official communication of the War Indus- tries Boarc\, which I trust you will print in full and which should reassure all florists. ' ' The Government's Policy. The following is the letter Mr. Gude received from A. W. Clapp, Chief of the H^^" „^*^°"' of <^be Priorities Division, of ^ the U. S. War Industries Board: , , . ^°\ have called our attention to a letter, dated October 24, addressed to you from Davis & Whitney, attorneys at law, Denver. "This letter states, among other things, in substance that a United States Employment Service agent in Denver has stated to men who are working as florists that unless they ab- solutely quit their jobs before Novem- ber 1 they will be inducted into the military service immediately; further, that this covers every man between the ages of 18 and 56. "If an employment agent made such a statement we think it was unauthor- ized. The fact that a man is employed in a florist's establishment would not, in all probability, entitle him to consid- eration for deferred classification on in- dustrial grounds, but such a man, pro- vided he is not a clerk in a florist 's store, is not engaged in a non-productive occupation within the meaning of Gen- eral Crowder's present work or fight order and would not lose his right to de- ferred classification on dependency grounds, or his order number, and be The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his ideas on any subject treated in mi^ As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchange of experiences. Many valuable points are brought out by discussion. Good penmanship, spelling and crammar. though desirable, are not necessary. Write as you would talk when doing your best. WE SHALL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU Inducted into service because he chose to remain in his employment. This is in accordance with the present law and regulations. Does Not Apply to Clerks. "You will understand that this does not apply to a clerk in a florist's store who comes within the work or fight order. ' ' You will agree with us that the flo- rists' business is among the less essen- tial businesses. The need for most ef- fectively utilizing the man-power of the country in the present emergency de- mands that so far as possible able-bodied men should be either in the service or in some war industry, and it is perfectly proper that such men should be encour- aged by the Employment Service or by anyone else to get into a war industry. It is not, however, as we have said, proper to use as a means of compul- sion a statement which is not justified." A Shift Is Impracticable. In a great majority of cases the shift- ing of labor from florists' establish- ments to more essential work has proved impracticable for the following reason: Most men still employed by florists are skilled in the business; they command good wages. They are not skilled in other work and they become unskilled workers, laborers, when they go into other industries; they are asked to take less pay than they now earn, to lower the scale of living for their families. The big wages of the war industries one reads about in the newspapers have been found not obtainable by the average flo- rist who seeks a job in another busi- ness; they seem to go only to expert workers or those capable of extraordi- narily severe tasks, not to novices such as the florists become when they change. WOMEN IN MEN'S JOBS. The Federal Community Labor Boards in the larger cities of the country have issued what they term "white lists" of jobs ordinarily filled by men, but which can be taken satisfactorily by women so as to release the men for war work. Listed among the "clerks" are those employees of flower stores who are unskilled in any labor except that of waiting on customers. An appeal has been made to the em- ployers of this class of labor to release the men and fill their places with women. At the same time, the labor boards have called upon the women of the cities to otter themselves for such employment during the emergency. While an analysis of the labor that is employed in florists' establishments reveals that there are few, extremely few, men who are employed in occu- pations that come under those listed in General Crowder's work or fight or- der, there are undoubtedly some who should be working in the war indus- tries. The government needs such men and patriotism demands that they be released and their places filled with women. But, on the other hand, the government does not desire to cripple the less essential industries by taking their skilled employees. The test undoubtedly is that any work that can be done satisfactorily by an unskilled woman is not essential to the maintenance of that florist's business and the man should be urged to seek other employment.

Please tell us how to get the buds on Buch varieties of chrysanthemums as Unaka and Marigold at the right date. Could they not be stopped at a certain time to bring the bud right! D. & H.— Mich. The question of stopping mums at a certain time has been frequently dis- cussed, and sometimes the idea has been carried into effect by growers in Europe who needed varieties at special times. Years ago we tried this stopping or tim- ing process, but did not have much suc- cess with it, due, we felt, to the fact that climatic conditions here are so dif- ferent from those in Europe. The two varieties mentioned, Marigold and Unaka, are useless unless they happen to be caught on a crown bud. We have had excellent success with both kinds, propagating in April and retaining the first bud that showed, provided it did not show before August 1. A large per- centage of the buds will come at the right time when so treated, and with fully as much satisfaction, I think, as if the timing process had been carried out. C. H. T. MUMS UNDER CLOTH. I am growing a good many chrysan- themums under cloth and should like to have a good formula for the treatment of the cloth, so as to make it warmer and also make it waterproof. Of course, I wish to use some solution that will not rot the canvas. W, T. B.— N. C. I never have heard of any formula for treating cloth used for covering chrysan- themums. Growers use the best white cotton cloth, stretching it tightly over a light framework. The sides and ends are treated in the same way. When the season is over, the cloth is carefully re- moved and laundered. Handled in this way, it will last at least three seasons. This covering is only meant to improve the texture of the flowers and protect them from the effects of dew, hot sun- shine and light frosts. Any cloth treat- ed with oil, or heavy enough to protect from a heavy frost, would make the space entirely too dark and shady for the chrysanthemums. L. CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOWS. There are two chrysanthemum shows in New York this week. The annual exhibition of the Chrysanthemum Soci- ety of America is being held in conjunc- tion with the fall show of the American Institute, at the Engineering building, 25 West Thirty-ninth street, while the Hor- ticultural Society of New York is having its annual exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History. The for- mer exhibition opened November 6 and extends through November 8, while the latter opens November 7 and continues through November 10. At the American Institute exhibition the special prizes of the Chrysanthemum Society of America will be awarded, besides the prizes offered by the Insti- tute. The Horticultural Society of New York has its usual large premium list, offering cash prizes ranging from $50 down to $2.50 in the various classes. The annual business meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society was held at the Engineering building November 6 at 8 p. m. The present officers of the society are: President, William W. Vert, Greenwich, Conn.; vice-president, Ernest Guter, Pittsburgh, Pa.; secretary, Chas. W. Johnson, Chicago, 111.; treasurer, John N. May, Summit, N. J. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Framingham, Mass. — J. T, Butter- worth has fine success with Boston ferns grown in refuse peat roots up to 3-inch pot size, when the plants are shifted into 6-inch pots, with a mixture of peat and loan. Primula malacoides is al- lowed to bloom and drop seed upon a bed of soft coal ashes. In this manner enough seedlings are obtained to furnish several hundred plants. Flowering be- gonias are produced in a similar way. George Butterworth opines that the em- bargo placed upon orchids will stimu- late the growing of seedlings and propa- gation of hybrids. Some beautiful va- rieties already are to be found here. RUST ON CARNATIONS. I have two benches of fine carnations that are attacked with rust and, as I am inexperienced in the business, I do not know what to do. There are just a few plants affected. They are of a strong growth, rather dense, and are beginning to crop. The soil is rich. They also have some red spider on them. What is best for them? Will you give me the latest on cyanide, or hydrocy- anic gas? We grow carnations, mums, primroses, cyclamens, ferns, plumosus, Sprengeri, calla lilies, geraniums, vincas, ageratums, sweet peas, snapdragons, etc. Will the gas be injurious to any of them? C. A. E.— 0. During the extreme heat of last July and August many carnations were at- tacked by rust. To combat this disease, you should produce just the opposite conditions and this is a good time to do it. Keep the water off the foliage as much as possible, syringing infre- quently and only in the morning of bright days. Paint a steam pipe in each house with a mixture of lime, sul- phur and water, using equal portions of the lime and the sulphur. Keep a crack of air on as long as you are able to maintain the proper temperature with one steam pipe in each house. Unless your plants are seriously affected with the rust, they should grow out of it under these conditions. We have used Bordeaux mixture for rust with good success. To exterminate the red spider, use salt water. Order one of John Evans' salt sprayers and use it regularly once eacTi week. This method of fighting red spider is especially adapted to cases like your own, where frequent syring- ing is inadvisable. The only pest we use hydrocyanic acid gas on is white fly. This gas, in the hands of the inexperienced, is ex- tremely dangerous to both the operator and the stock in the houses. Unless you have some pest which cannot be controlled with the ordinary methods, I would suggest that you leave the gas alone. The Agricultural Department at Washington, D, C, will send you a bul- letin, giving accurate instructions for producing this gas, for the asking. A. F. J. B. NOTIMBEB 7, 1918. The Florists' Review 13 PLANTING BULBS OUTDOORS. Autumn Activities. While there have been long and vexa- tious delays in the arrival of Dutch and French bulbs this season, these are but minor matters when we consider the magnitude of the task our government and its allies have had in furnishing ship bottoms in sufficient numbers to send across a ceaseless stream of men, munitions and food supplies to the war zone. While bulbs are later than usual, they are, on the whole, in good condi- tion. Of course the forcing stock needs our first attention, but with this out of the way, outdoor planting can be taken in hand at once. I have found Novem- ber to be a splendid month for this work, as in November we have the time needed to clear the beds and benches of tender bedding plants, to cut down hardy perennials and prepare planting places for the hardy bulbs. Preparing the Beds. Avoid using any fresh stable or cow manure in preparing bulb beds. It will cause trouble every time. Let all ma- nure be well decomposed and mixed thoroughly with the soil. Break up all hard lumps and get the soil in as mel- low and well pulverized a condition aa possible. This preparation pays in the long run. Bulbs in such a rooting medium always come more evenly and steadily than those in soil prepared in a haphazard way. Labor is scarce and I think customers would be willing to accept the most simple and at the same time the most pleasing arrangements, which means that beds of one color and variety, or clumps of one shade, should be planted, unless, perchance, a mixed bed of tulips is preferred, and such mixtures are really satisfactory. Tulips for Bedding. Tulips are the finest bulbs for bed- ding. Among the early whites, Joost Van Vondel, White Swan and White Perfection are all fine. The first named is the best of all. White Swan blooms just ahead of the cottage and Darwin varieties. Chrysolora and Mon Tresor are splendid golden yellows. Prince of Austria is a grand bedder. It is orange- red and sweetly scented. Keizerskroon but for its name would be more popular. It is the best of the red and yellow varieties and is always reliable. Cot- tage Maid does nicely for the pink beds, but Pink Beauty, while higher priced, is far ahead of all other pinks. In fact, it is in many respects the finest bedding tulip we have. Vermilion Brilliant is well described by its name. Sir Thomas Lipton is a superb, deep scarlet tulip. The foregoing are single varieties. None of the doubles are of much value for bedding. Late Tulips. Do not overlook the value of the late tulips for bedding. They grow taller than the early ones and are much more lasting. Beds of mixed varieties look well, but solid beds and clumps of one color are more satisfying. Clumps dotted in herbaceous borders are effec- tive. They will flower far better the second and third season than the first. Try any of these Darwins: Clara Butt, Mme. Krelage, Gretchen, Rev. H. Ew- bank, Tarncombe Sanders, Glow, King Harold and Pride of Haarlem. Many of these Darwins have come in for Memorial day in former years and in this connection plantings of these May- VaVERY now and then a. weU- ■9 pleased reader speaks the word which is the means of bring;ing a new advertiser to Such friendly assistance is thorousfhly appreciated.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 530^ Caxton Bldg. Chicago flowering tulips, all of moderate price, will be found to be a good investment: Bouton d'Or, vitellina retroflexa, Ges- neriana major, Gesneriana lutea, Pico- tee, Golden Crown and Inglescombe Pink. Hyacinths and Narcissi. Hyacinths and narcissi are of minor value for bedding as compared with tulips. Hyacinths have the advantage of flowering earlier, but their lasting qualities are not so good and they have a most) unpleasant odor as they fade. The singles are much better than the doubles for bedding and one color to a bed/-is the best arrangement. If in rly spring blue forget-me-nots or "^pansies are planted below white hya- cinths, white pansies below blue hya- cinths and yellow pansies below pink or red hyacinths, the effect is enhanced and when the hyacinth spikes are gone, there is a good ground cover to bloom until more tender plants are ready to take its plac§. If, instead of planting narcissi in beds, they are arranged in clumps or long, narrow bands along herbaceous borders, they look much more attrac- tive. Do not depend on the large trum- pet sorts only, for the medium and short trumpet sorts are more graceful and in nearly all cases more winter- hardy and persistent. The most re- liable of the large trumpet sorts are Victoria, Princeps, Emperor and Glory of Leiden. Points to Be Noted. Do not cover over bulb beds until the ground is frozen hard. We want to keep the frost in the soil and not to exclude it. A thick covering of leaves or other mulch given while the ground is soft means that growths will continue to push and when spring comes many breakages will occur in removing the mulch. Another point to consider is that field mice will raise havoc with bulbs, especially tulips, if the soil is open below the winter covering. These rodents are difficult to fight in the win- ter, even when their presence has been detected. PANSIES MAKE POOR GROWTH. I am having trouble with my pansies, which are making poor growth. I have no trouble with such things as radishes, onions, lettuce, cabbage and tomato plants, but the growth is short. I have used stable manure and bone meal freely, also lime. The soil is heavy clay. We have used nitrate of soda, but it makes the plants soft and light green in color. The beds were covered last winter and did not get much snow on them. Can you suggest a remedy for this trouble? C. W. H.— Mo. Pansies should grow well in stiff soil, but will winter best if they are planted in beds a yard wide, which are slightly elevated. They would do better if your clay soil was ameliorated by the use of rotted horse manure, leaf-mold and sand, the latter quite coarse. This would make the soil more porous. The use of bone meal I cannot recommend, and ni- trate of soda will do your plants more harm than good. It is all right for plants outdoors or indoors suffering from a lack of plant food, but not for small seedlings. The use of lime in the fall, also plow- ing up the land and leaving it rough over winter for frost to pulverize and sweeten it, is recommended. Do not put any winter covering over your plants until the ground is hard frozen. Then apply a light coating of straw, hay, littery manure or leaves, which oanj^e held in position by brush or by throwing a light coating of rotted ma- nure over them, sufficient to prevent them from blowing away. C. W. 14 The Florists' Review NOTEMBBB 7, 1918. csm wrm^j^ keadedb HANDLING F. T. D. OSDERS. Eecently when we have been handling an immense amount of out-of-town or- ders, we have received several telegrams from retail florists, in the smaller towns especially, that they could not fill the orders, as they were sold out of flowers. As the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association stands for service, and the best service that possibly can be given its patrons, the retail florists must look on these orders in a more businesslike way. The average retail florist merely sends a telegram to the florist from whom he received the order, saying that he is "out of flowers." This does not seem to be the right spirit, neither does it convey the message the customer wished to send. This same proposition holds good when a telegram ordering flowers for a funeral arrives too late, or, as it hap- penp sometimes, the day after the fu- neral. In many of these cases it is not a question of how much of a sale we can make, or anything of that kind. The main thing that must always be before the florist receiving such an order, is to convey to the bereaved the message the friend sought to send -v^ith flowers — that is, let them know that the friend in a distant city had thought of them in their bereavement and fully intended to send flowers to the funeral, but through delay of the message or a shortage of flowers, the order was not carried out. In such cases we always send to the home and let the circumstances be known. Then we suggest to them that, inasmuch as the order for flowers came too late, it would be a nice idea for them to accept a bouquet of flowers to make the house look more cheerful or to take to the cemetery the following Sunday. In most cases the people will take these suggestions in the spirit they are meant and there will be no disap- pointments. Albert Pochelon. ONE FOR THE GROWERS. It was with much interest that I read a letter in The Review for October 17, wherein a well-known retailer said he could not execute an F. T. D. order for less than $5 under the then prevailing market conditions, and I think his letter savors a little of complaint when he says that he has never experienced such a high market! This seems to be the gen- eral feeling among the retail stores. Now, Mr. Retailer, don't you think it about time that the grower was getting some sort of a price? I own a range of approximately 35,000 square feet of glass; my wife, boy and myself work daily from 6 a. m. until 5:30 p. m., and, during mum, winter and bedding seasons, often until 9 p. m. What I draw out amounts to only $1 per day for each member of my family and the wife and son draw nothing. Beyond that, during the last two years, we have not made a cent; in fact, if a grower counts depre- ciation of greenhouses, buildings, etc., he will find he has been a sorry loser. We can 't get a man for less than $4 per day, nine hours' work; $10 a ton for coal if we can get it; wood, $16 per cord; fertilizer, sky high; twine, 63 cents per pound instead of 23 cents last year; taxes higher; living higher — and yet the retailer kicks when the cut flower market is higher. Does he always want the finest grade of roses for 4 cents and excellent carnations for 3 cents and 2 cents? Does he think a grower can live and make money on extra fine mums at 10 cents each at the wages and coal prices of today? Every industry, so far, has adjusted itself to war prices, so why must the grower be expected to get less than his share ? If any flower lover wants flowers, let him pay for them. I think the best way the problem can be solved is for all the wholesalers to get together to protect both the retailers and the growers. As a general rule, you will find the grower and his family a most hard-work- ing lot, content to get three square meals a day and meet his bills — they are no squanderers. 12 I go out to buy my- self an overcoat I am prepared to pay about $30, instead of $18. If I go to a show I am prepared to pay a war tax and pay also $1 for a first row gallery seat instead of the usual 75 cents, and when I forget myself and bring home a box of candy for some little occasion I know I must pay $1.35 per pound instead of the usual 80 cents or 85 cents. Why shouldn't the public, therefore, be prepared to pay in proportion for flowers? In all fairness to the growers, there should be a minimum price set on every flower, adjusted by a board of growers, and then a scale of increase for quality. This would be a protection for the stores when there is a glut, so that the street venders cannot undersell them, and at the same time would give the growers a living wage. S. Kahn. St. Joseph, Mo. — T. H. Best, manager of the Stuppy Floral Co., reports that this concern has been unable, during the rush of business due to the influenza epidemic, to supply half the demand from out-of-town patrons and from re- tailers in nearby towns, having all it could do to take care of local custom. The Haefeli Floral Co. has experienced a similar condition. Prices, meanwhile, have been soaring upward, to keep pace with the increasing cost of necessaries. CUTTINGS DAMPING OFF. I am sending herewith a few samples of geranium cuttings taken from my own outdoor stock, and also a little of the sand in which I attempted to root them. As you will see, the cuttings have rotted. After they were put in the bed of sand, they were thoroughly watered and the sand was firmed down. They were given no more water. No bottom heat was supplied, of course, as they were put in the sand in September. After being in the propagating bed three weeks, practically all of them have turned out like the specimens forwarded. Will you kindly tell me what is the matter? J. N. W. — Mass. they are rooted, it is best to keep them moderately dry until potted. C. W. TO ROOT GERANIUMS. Will you kindly inform me through The Review as to the best method of propagating geraniums? I have been starting them in sand for years, but find this method unsatisfactory. Is it still considered proper to put the cuttings in pots immediately? W. B. — Mich. Your sand would be better if it were a little coarser. You can improve it by screening some coal ashes or charcoal through a %-inch sieve and incorporat- ing this with your sand. I presume you used fresh sand, or sterilized that which had been used before. Bottom heat is not necessary to root geranium cuttings successfully. A good many growers put them in sandy loam in flats outdoors and get excellent results. A point to re- member is that while nearly all cuttings need shade until rooted, geraniums should have full sun all the time. After the first soaking they should not be left entirely dry. Moderate waterings are needed to keep the cuttings plump. Once Sand is the best rooting medium for geraniums. Perhaps yours may be too fine, in which case I would suggest ad- ding some finely screened coal ashes or charcoal to the sand to make it more porous. Geraniums can be rooted in small pots of sandy loam singly, but at this season we can economize much on space if cuttings are in the propagating bench or in flats until mums and other fall crops are out of the way. Try this plan: Take ordinary flats four inches deep, place a layer of cinders an inch thick over the bottom, over this lay moss or leaves, then fill the balance with coarse sand : Soak well. Cut lines with a mason's trowel for cuttings. Place the flats in full sun on a shelf and water sparingly until they are rooted. You will have only a small percentage of damped off cuttings if you adopt this plan. Geranium cuttings should never have any shade, C. W. NOTBMBEB 7, 1018. The Florists^ Review 15 s^ KHAKI AND BLUE s^ KEEP ON FIGHTING. Florists In France. While the heads of the opposing gov- ernments are discussing the way by which an armistice can be brought about as a forerunner of peace, General Pershing's armies in France are con- tinuing to hammer the Hun. So much territory has been regained by the allied forces recently that nothing less than an unconditional surrender of the Central Powers will satisfy many persons. In this fighting are many florists, who are doing valiant work. In the meantime the United States is not letting up in its preparations. More men are being called to the training camps. Whatever the news that concerns a member of the florists' trade, be he over there or over here, send it to The Eeview for its weekly war page. Percy Hall. Harry T. Hall, foreman at the State Nursery Co., Inc., Helena, Mont., is in receipt of official information from the War Department at Washington that his son, Percy Hall, of the American Expe- ditionary Forces, died recently of wounds in a hospital in France. Percy Hall was well known and much liked in Helena, where he grew to man- hood. Shortly after the entrance of the United States into the war he enlisted in Company F, First Army Engineers. He reached France in November, 1917, and participated in a number of drives, during one of which he lost his left arm. W. T. Usinger Wounded. Through a letter received by Theodore P. Langhans from William T. Usinger, well known to the readers of The Ee- view as the writer of " Usinger 's Ut- terances," his many friends will learn of the serious wound sustained by the former correspondent. However, he is convalescent and writes most optimist- ically of hospital conditions, entertain- ments, etc. Mr. Usinger is associated with the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., and prior to going into the service was on the road most of the time. His letter, dated July 18, follows: "Your letter of May 20 received to- day, having been forwarded from camp. It was read and reread with pleasure; for letters are the one thing which makes things worth while over here. "I believe I wrote you before that I was in the hospital, an operation be- ing necessary. This was in Paris, but now I am convalescing in another part of the country, the trip having been made in one of Uncle Sam's hospital trains, which, by the way, is a marvel on wheels. My stay in three hospitals has given me an insight into a phase of the war experienced by so many of the boys who have successfully gone 'over the top.' Believe me, it is not always a thing to look forward to with much courage. They have accomplished a great work to their own glory and for their country. "Paris is a wonderful city. I was able to see a good bit of it, both on my arrival and departure. The latter was exciting to a degree as I lay in the am- bulance, being sufficiently convalescent to move about and look out of the win- dows upon the streets. Incidentally the truck driver got lost and drove us around the city for two hours. "This is the third day that I have been able to walk, and it is surely fine to be out again. How long it will be before I am able to get to work is un- certain, inasmuch as my operation was a double one and will require some time yet before I shall be really strong. How- ever, if appetite has anything to do with the case, it should not be so long; for we surely do eat here, although I am not so heavy as when you saw me last. "There is a good deal of entertain- ment here for us, but as yet I have not been able to enjoy any of it. Elsie Janis, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and many others are over here, as well as many good bands and entertainments of all kinds, including movies. Then there are plenty of good books and magazines, all supplied by the Bed Cross, which is doing a great work over here." rank in growth to suit. The Japanese juniper, with its dwarf compact growth, might also be suitable. Some of the retinisporas are good also, but their growth is rank. I could not say from personal experience whether all or any of these would stand the Kansas cli- mate. In plants that are not hardy, there is a greater selection, such as coleus, al- ternanthera, aealypha, achyranthes, all of which would prove satisfactory. The flowering plants par excellence for standing the heat and for growth are Vinca rosea and alba. These grow lit- tle over a foot high and continue in bloom all summer regardless of weather. In addition to the recommendation of C. W. of Evonymus radicans as a cover for a grave, I would say that the com- mon ivy is used most largely in the south for this purpose, and would doubt- less give good results in Kansas. Pachy- sandra terminalis, from Japan, is a low growing, hardy plant that might be tried. L. GRAVE COVER FOB KANSAS. I am trying to find a plant, myrtle or cemetery rose, suitable for a grave cover, which will thrive and grow with ordinary care in Kansas, something which might be sheared to a height of eight to twelve inches and used also in figure planting. C. S. — Kans. There is some ambiguity about this question. It makes a difference whether the plant wanted is a hardy one or not. When one thinks of a hardy plant that will stand shearing, the mind turns naturally to the buxus, or boxwood, and ligustrum, or privet. Buxus suffruti- cosa, the form generally used for edg- ing, would be best for the purpose, as it is a dwarf grower and will stand a shear- ing. Ligustrum amurense will stand shearing, but probably would be too SCALE ON VINCAS. Please advise treatment for scale on variegated vincas in the greenhouse. The plants are infested with aphis also. The latter, no doubt, can be exterminat- ed with a nicotine spray, but this seems to have no effect on the scale. Lime- sulphur, such as is used on fruit trees, probably would damage the plants. H. C. B.— Id. Spraying with a nicotine solution or fu- migation with one of the tobacco papers will easily take care of the aphis on your vincas. The best plan is to give a moderate fumigation once in eight or ten days to insure cleanliness. Spray- ing with kerosene emulsion, Aphine or Black Leaf 40, with some soap added, will kill most of the scale. The scale will not fall off, but careful inspection will show that its grip is loosened.

[Seasonable notes on tomatoes and cucumbers appeared in this department of The Review for October 24 and on lettuces, water cress, mint and parsley in the issue of October 31.] There have been many complaints of the quality of cauliflowers produced out- doors this year. This is no doubt due to the fact that we are now mainly de- pendent on home-grown seeds, as im- ports from Denmark have almost ceased. Under glass, where plants are not sub- jected to climatic vagaries, we have had no trouble so far. This may be due to the fact that we have grown but one variety inside, namely, Kronk 's Forcing Erfurt, which is by long odds the best greenhouse variety. Several firms list various forcing cauliflowers, but they all prove to be good strains of Kronk 's Erfurt. Cauliflowers require a similar temperature to lettuce and also need a generous soil. Last winter I grew Kronk 's Erfurt 15x15 inches apart with the best results; 12x12 inches apart gave smaller heads and proved less profitable. The seed is sown in flats and later transplanted into other flats and from there transferred to the beds. Some growers pot off the plants, but this is not necessary. Good heads can be pro- duced in 6-inch or 7-inch pots by feed- ing the plants well, but this would not pay commercially. Witloof Chicory. The roots of "Witloof chicory, the favorite salad plant, should be dug be- fore the weather becomes too cold and packed in sand in a cool cellar. The tops make most delicious salads and are much appreciated. To force it success- fully, the roots should be covered with moist sand or loam and then boxed in and kept perfectly dark. A warm house or cellar will force it successfully. The ideal place is a mushroom house, or cave, such as mushrooms are often successfully grown in. In order that there should be no damping where the roots are being forced, it is well to admit a little air from time to time, also to see that there is no drip which can start trouble. I have seen good Witloof chicory grown when a thick layer of sawdust has been applied over the crowns. This prevents any damping. Any other light covering would answer equally well. A CLEAN SWEEP. In these days of swift and sweeping changes, when political conditions af- fect the smallest details of domestic and industrial economy, the wise man or woman will be prepared to make the best of every situation that develops out of war-time exigencies. The cut- ting off of importations of bulbs doubt- less will reduce the crops of Easter lilies and spring bulbous flowers generally and the resourceful florist will be alert to find substitutes for these items. In the effort to keep up the volume of stock requisite for the maintenance of trade, it is likely that there may be a shifting of standards and manv flowers not here- tofore kept in the limelight will be pushed forward to take the places of those which are found wanting or in insufficient supply. The substitution of callas for Easter lilies, for instance, may bring the former into the position of prominence which their beauty merits. At any rate, it is evident that callas can be moved now in quantities larger than most of the growers are likely to have on hand, by means of a little timely publicity. This is the experience of a Wisconsin grower, who had to call off his advertising because his callas were all taken so quickly. Please discontinue my ad of Godfrey callas. I am all sold out. Tour paper does wonders. — John Maves, Eau Claire, Wis., October 29, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Eeview, and A. plumosus in a greenhouse with- out heat and especially so in the state of Massachusetts. Boots of smilax have been known to stand the winter as far north as Washington, D. C, but your winter is usually more severe. The ex- periment may be worth a trial, if you have the litter and the leaves for the purpose, but it would be best to ripen the plants gradually by using less water and more ventilation for a time before covering them.

SPRENGERI AND PLUMOSUS. Will you please tell me if there is a way to keep a bed of Asparagus Spren- geri or plumosus green, if the house is closed for the winter! The asparagus is in a solid cement bench, one and one- half feet high. Will it come up in the spring if buried under leaves and manure now? C. H. J. — Mass. It is a doubtful experiment to try to winter a bed of Asparagus Sprengeri Assuming that your plants have well matured wood, they can be started any time after the middle of December. Keep them in a temperature of 45 degrees at night until they start to grow. Then give them 10 degrees more heat. Water them only moderately until they start into active growth, but spray freely. Once they are growing freely, an abun- dant water supply is needed. As the flower heads appear, feed once in four or five days with liquid cow or sheep ma- nure, or a top-dressing of fine bone. If the foliage comes at all pale, give them some soot water or a weak application of nitrate of soda. If you will give your plants a light, sunny house, prevent aphis from troubling them, water them freely and feed as suggested, you should have healthy plants with fine flower heads. Other cultural points, such as the date to start plants for Easter and Memorial day, will be mentioned in the cultural columns of The Review from time to time. C.

Early November is late in the season for outdoor flowers, but this season frost has held off unusually late and a few annuals and perennials are still bloom- ing freely. Among the perennials Aconitum Wilsonii, with its handsome spikes of violet-blue flowers, and A. autumnale, dark blue, are still in fine condition. Helianthus Maximilianii still carries quantities of its large golden yellow single flowers. It is an excel- lent subject for cutting. Anemone japonica alba, where well sheltered, is still (November 4) covered with its beautiful, pure white flowers. On delphiniums there are still some excel- lent spikes, where the plants were cut down as soon as the early crop had passed. Stokesia cyanea is still pro- ducing its large, beautiful sky-blue flowers and some of the asters are still presentable. There are also some spikes still appearing on the kniphofias. Among low-growing plants, Viola cor- nuta in variety is covered with flowers. This is the finest low-growing perennial we have and flowers persistently for six months. Many blooms of myosotis are in evidence, while some varieties of dianthus. Campanula rotundifolia, lina- rias and androsaces, to mention only a few, are still blooming freely and make the hardy garden interesting, even when "chill November's surly blasts have made fields and forests bare." TO FOLLOW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. The mum season is now at its height and will rapidly decline. Some grow- ers, owing to the reduced coal supplies, are planning to close houses when mums are cut and start up again in the spring. Others, however, plan to carry enough heat in their houses at least to exclude frost. There is no need to run tem- peratures for our staple crops as high as in former years. Experience last winter proved that both roses and car- nations produced profitably when kept 10 degrees cooler at night than in for- mer years. Production was smaller, but the quality was vastly improved. Our British cousins, with a far smaller coal supply than we expect, have proved the same thing. Suitable crops to follow mums are: Sweet peas, snapdragons, calendulas, mignonette and marguerites, all of which succeed in a comparatively low temperature.

THE florists' business is so comparatively new that practically all of the men who have made notable successes in it have done so from a small beginning. This is the case with Charles H. Grakelow, Philadelphia. It was sixteen years ago that Mr. Grakelow decided to invest his small capital in the business. He rented a house, established his store in what had been the parlor and started in. Sales at first were slow, but his pleasant personality won him many customers and today his place at Broad and Cumberland streets is one of the finest in the country. Mr. Grakelow is notable for other things than being a florist. He belongs to forty different or- ganizations, is a gifted speaker, and is fond of visiting far-off places. His descrip- tions of these places have delighted many an audience. A minimum overhead ex- pense, extensive and continuous advertising and a gracious treatment of customers are Mr. Grakelow 's rules for success in the florists' business. If strenuous methods are not made to check this insect, according to the Bureau of Entomology of the depart- ment, it will spread to the great field corn producing regions of the country, do incalculable injury to the corn crop and materially reduce the prosperity as well as the food stocks of the nation. The pest is not definitely known to occur outside of Massachusetts, but it is possible that it may be present in other New England states. The insect came from Europe and is especially in- jurious to corn in Austria-Hungary, where it has been known to destroy at least one-fourth of the entire crop in a single year. During the cold months it lives within the dead and dried stalks and roots of corn, the larger grasses, weeds and garden plants. Therefore the ease of destroying it at this time by burning garden trash of the kind mentioned. Discovery of the insect should be re- ported immediately to the State Agri- cultural College or to the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Waterbury, Conn.— Saxe & Floto, speaking of the great run in funeral work, state there were eighty-seven burials in one day in this city, and floral remembrances at each. They were fortunate in having the first crop of chrysanthemums in at the time. The new store, though somewhat smaller, is more favorably located than the for- mer one. 18 The Florists^ Review NOTBHBBB 7, 1918. PITTSBUItOH. The Market. The last week saw the finer grades of roses, including American Beauties, more plentiful, but the cheaper flowers remain inadequate in supply for the heavy demands of the market. The supply of chrysanthemums continues to increase, likewise the demand for these flowers; therefore the situation pertain- ing thereto remains relatively the same. Pompons are just beginning to come in, so it goes without saying that there are not enough of them, and the same may be said for carnations. There are a few lilies, but only a few. The first violets of the season have been coming in from Ehinebeck, but the prospect is that they will be no more in favor than for several seasons past. Greens of all varieties, particularly ferns, are scarce, and of outdoor stock there is nothing. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams and her man- ager, Harvey C. Sheaff, who are inde- fatigable workers in the common cause, have been having a continuous succes- sion of distinctive patriotic displays for months past. The first, it will be re- called, was described in these columns during the early days of the War Sav- ings Stamps campaign. It was during this special display that the custodian neglected one evening to remove the great bunch of exhibition stamps from their accustomed place in the corner of the window and, during the night, there was an unsuccessful attempt to cut a piece out of the plate glass, evidently in an effort to steal the stamps. Since then these valuable enemies of the Pots- dam crowd have been carefully stored away overnight in the vault. Thomas McKee Elliott left a few days ago to join the Motor Transport Corps at Camp Joseph E. Johnson, near Jacksonville, Fla., being succeeded tem- porarily in the town office of the Elliott Nursery Co. by his younger sister, Miss Helen Katharine Elliott. The latter, who has a pretty wit, says that the rest of the family who are not at war are at peace in the country counting French and Belgian bulbs, which are now rap- idly arriving. The Elliotts, who are still at their beautiful summer home. Brook Lodge, near Springdale, Pa., expect to return shortly to their town house in the east end. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Demas are mourn- ing the loss of their eldest child, a bright little 7-year-old girl named Katharine, who was buried October 31, as the result of heart failure. Mr. De- mas, who is now proprietor of the Minerva theater, is well known by the florists and growers hereabouts through his former connection as manager of the old Pittsburgh Flower Exchange. He also continues to keep in in- timate touch with many of his former associates through his brother-in-law, George Franks, proprietor of the Phila- delphia Florists. Another death affecting trade cir- cles last week was that of Edward J. Hallam, of the north side, whose inter- ment was also an event of October 31, death having been the result of pneu- monia. He was a brother of Walter E. Hallam, who closed his flower stand in the Allegheny Market for several days last week. The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. cele- brated its twentieth anniversarv in- formally during October with by far the heaviest volume of business in the history of the organization. The fol- lowing young women are recent addi- tions to the staff of this firm: Miss Josephine Clark, in the salesroom; Miss Boma Burki, as assistant bookkeeper, and Mrs. Kress and Miss Marshall, in the workshop upstairs. Manager McMillan, of the Braddock and Duquesne shops of J. M. Johnston, made a hurried purchasing trip to town November 1. Mr. McMillan reports the serious illness of two of the Brad- dock employees, Mrs. Thomas Cava- naugh, who has just returned to busi- ness following a two weeks' detention at home, and her sister. Miss Cecelia Eiley, who is still confined to the house. Both are victims of the prevailing epi- demic. C. C. Phillips also has just returned to his post with the McCallum Co. from a ten days' absence as the result of in- fluenza. Edward J. McCallum, Homer Wood, manager of the supply depart- ment, and Edward Niggel, manager of the wire shop, took a breathing spell from their strenuous duties of the last month, November 1, spending the day on a hunting trip. Miss Kathryn Antoinette has re- turned to her former position in the flower department of Kauffman's, pre- ferring the more general trade there to the fashionable clientele of the William Penn hotel. Miss Antoinette has a happy faculty of "handling the crowds" of "The Big Store" that is not possessed by all saleswomen. Through the instrumentality of State Game Commissioner John Phillips, known in Boy Scout circles as "Chief Silver Top," three barrels, or about 5,000 black walnuts were planted dur- ing the week in Allegheny county by the local organization under the super- vision of the respective Scout and field executives, C. B. Shaler and Thomas Sparrow. Samuel Matsukes has joined the staff of^j^e Liberty Florists, with whom his cousin, John George Matsukes, has been identified for some time. The recent presence of Mrs. Julius W. Ludwig in the store of the Ludwig Floral Co. is an admirable present-day illustration of the application of the biblical text: "The harvest is great and the laborers are few." Being essen- tially a "home woman," Mrs. Ludwig has no hesitation in saying that she is there from a stern sense of duty rather than from choice. If any further proof were needed that the establish- ment was doing its utmost in keeping the wheels of the floral industry revolv- ing during the stress of the times, it is the fact that her husband has tempo- rarily eliminated his weekly chat with the various press representatives. Mr. Ludwig has a keen perception of news which is second only to that of the trained journalist and it is largely to this fact that The Eeview is indebted for many choice morsels from time to time. Like Mrs. Ludwig, Mrs. Michael F. Stafford, together with her two sons, John and Henry, is temporarily assist- ing Mr. Stafford at his shop on Smith- field street. Mrs. Stafford is noncom- mittal, but the attitude of the young- sters would suggest that parental au- thority rather than choice is holding them on the job. They are "banned" from school, owing to the order of the board of health, a^d it is a question whether they consider school or the flower business as the lesser evil. Milton Alexander was a recent vis- itor in the city, representing a ribbon house of New York city. E. E. S. OINOINNATI. TliA Market. Business continues good, but is show- ing signs of easing up. The supply is sufficient for present needs. Shipping business is holding up well. Eoses are plentiful. Carnations are in fair supply and Easter lilies may be had. Chrysanthemums are here in quantities; although the local cut is not so heavy as it was for a fortnight, still it is large and includes excellent stock. Pompons are on the market and some valley is seen, but it finds a poor demand. Greens are in fair supply. Various Notes. Miss Laura Murphy reports that the Christmas Fund committee has over $400. Florists are urged to send in the names and addresses of all local boys in the service of Uncle Sam in either the military or naval forces. C. E. Critchell has cleaned up almost his entire stock of wire goods and sup- plies during the last few weeks. Among recent visitors to the trade were Harry M. Gregory, Eeesville, O.; J. H. Broxey, Dayton, 6.; J. T. Herde- gen, Aurora, Ind., and Joseph H. Hill, Eichmond, Ind. L. Davis is now in charge of Peter Weiland's salesmen in this city. C. H. H. PRIMULA POISONING. From time to time the question arises of how to deal with poisoning from Prim- ula obconica. It may be stated here that an authority says that it is the sharp hairs on the plant that produce the irritation. Careful handling, there- fore, may be a way to avoid bad results. A number of remedies and recipes have been offered in previous issues of The Eeview for primula poisoning, the most effective of which are given below. One says: "A few applications of peroxide of hydrogen gave me relief." Another advises the use of thick sweet cream as an ointment. This is said to be a sovereign remedy. Sugar of lead is claimed by others to be the most valuable treatment for this trouble. One recipe directs that it be dissolved in water, while another calls for alcohol. The alcohol solution is the antidote recommended by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture for rhus poison- ing. Several cures are reported to have re- sulted from the use of tincture of blood- root, which should be applied freely. Luytie's Pinus ointment as a local ap- plication and sulphur and cream of tar- tar, in the proportion of two parts to one, respectively, as a blood purifier, with -a nourishing diet, is a treatment highly recommended for either primula or ivy poisoning. Be sure that you do not light your pipe while using this one: Eub the affected parts with a solution made by dissolving two ounces of camphor in one pint of gasoline, before putting the hands in water. Another application before re- tiring is helpful. ^'J "I iyiflJ«|J)^ \-,j^r J -i-'-^^,,l r NOTDMBEB 7, 1018. The Florists^ Review 19 EVANSVXLLE, IND. The Market. Business continues heavy. The last week was at least as good as the week preceding. The mercury regis- tered 30 degrees November 2, the cold weather making an end of outdoor stoci. Business for All Souls' day was good, but it would have been better had the day been celebrated as usual. There was no observance of the day, owing to the ban on public meetings. Boses and carnations are in fair sup ply and their quality is good. Mums are plentiful and of fine quality. Various Notes. The Evansville Nurseries report that they are getting many orders for plant- ing shrubbery throughout the city. They have a fine stock of the new pink salvia and are getting good orders through advertising in The Review. Karl Zeidler is cutting fine mums, roses and carnations. C. L. Niednagel is cutting roses, prin- cipally Ward, Ophelia, Bussell and Co- lumbia. The last-named is doing so well that he expects to propagate as many as possible of it, as he intends to plant heavily of it next season. He is beginning to cut sweet peas. Niednagel & Sons have cut down con- siderably on production and will run only four houses this winter, owing to war conditions. Theodore Kuebler had many bunches of mums for All Souls' day, which sold readily for $1 per bunch. The Blackman Floral Co. is cutting fine mums, roses and carnations. Royston & Fenton have a fine stock of coleus, Easter Greeting and ferns. Mrs. J. C. Elspermann is tired out after the rush. E. L. F. LOUISVILLE, KY. The Market. Chrysanthemums are now in the mar- ket in great quantities and of excellent quality. Dahlias have disappeared, due to heavy frosts last week. Roses have been fairly good, with Columbias leading other roses in quality. Fine American Beauties are to be had. Pompon chrysanthemums are of un- usually good quality. A number of potted plants, begonias, chrysanthe- mums and primroses are now in the market. Orchids are in wonderful con- dition. Although stock is coming in great quantities, florists are compelled to call on out-of-town markets to sup- ply the demand. Various Notes. A number of florists were extremely busy due to the celebration of All isaints day. A pretty display of potted mums and other potted plants, as well as cut flowers, was pleasing to all who entered the greenhouses of Adam Heitz, Jacob Schulz, J. V. Bohrman and a number of other florists. C. B. Thompson has been extremely pusy with local orders and never before in the history of his business has he lad so many telegraphic orders, incom- ing as well as outgoing. Mrs. M D. Reimers finds funeral work keeping her busy. Narcissus bulbs have made their ap- pearance on the market, to the satisfac- tion of all florists, as well as their cus- tomers.

Up to the last of October we had fine, mild weather, but November brought cold days. The temperature fell to 40 degrees and we had a light frost. Oc- tober was a dry month, which was good for outdoor flowers. We grow two acres of Coehets in the field and they have been good all summer, and especially so this fall. Our dahlias were good and plentiful. We are still cutting them every day. Cosmos also was good, but it is gone. Now we have some field- grown mums that we are cutting from and they are useful right now, as stock is and has been so scarce. Owing to the "flu," we had many orders for flowers for the sick as well as for funerals. The funeral orders have been so numer- ous that we had to work at times twen- ty-four hours at a stretch to get orders out on time, and this condition contin- ued for at least four weeks. We have filled as many as 200 orders in a day. We have a good territory around Savan- nah, and the flowers were wanted in every direction. Our indoor mums, such as Chieftain, Mrs. Robinson and Charles Rager, we had to cut half open. We grow many mums indoors and I do not think that we ever had a better market for them at better prices than now. We grow seven houses of them in all, 30,000 single-stem and 5,000 with several on a stem, including pompons. We grow 20,000 roses indoors, such as Mrs. Russell, Ophelia, Radiance, K. A.- Victoria, White Killarney, Aaron Ward, Hadley, Hoosier Beauty and some Sweetheart. Mrs. Russell is the best paying crop; next comes Ophelia, and then Radiance. We grow 10,000 carnations, such as Mrs. Ward, White Enchantress, Beacon, Victory, Rose-pink Enchantress, Enchan- tress and White Perfection. They all look well this year and we are cutting a good many. They bring 5 cents at wholesale, and retail at $1.50 per dozen. Had it not been for the sick and for funeral orders, I think we would have experienced a dull season. So far as social functions are concerned, there is nothing doing. We have had a number of weddings, but they were "Hoover- ized." The people are not buying flow- ers unless it is necessary. Still we look for a fair season. We are not making money and have not made any since the war, but on the other hand had to bor- row till we could adjust ourselves to conditions. But for the last eighteen months matters have been mending, and we do not think we shall have to go out of the florists' business, which we would not like to do, after being in it for twenty-four years. I hope we shall not experience anything like these war- time troubles again as long as I am in the business or after. The help proposition was another thing, but I have been fortunate. I managed to keep half of my old help. There were twelve of them, and I raised their wages to double what they had had and my pay roll now is double what it used to be. The other ^orists have been in the same straits. Three of them gave up the struggle, so there are only four of us left in the business — A. C. Oelschig & Sons, A. W. Richardson, J. M. Breck- enridge and myself. I must mention that the express serv- ice is the worst that I have ever known. It is impossible to get things on time. John Wolf. ENOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. Stock of all kinds is improving, both in quality and quantity. Business for the last week has been about normal, but the month of October was the larg- est in the history of the Knoxville florists. Chrysanthemums continue to be the leaders, both in supply and de- mand, but we have not seen a single matured bloom this season. Roses are off crop, but carnations are more plen- tiful and the quality is much better. Outdoor pompon chrysanthemums are gone, as we have had several heavy frosts with some ice. The cooler weather is welcome, as we have had some sultry, rainy weather, which has a depressing effect on everyone. Various Notes. The first immortelles arrived in Knoxville some ten days ago and most of the stores are stemming and making up Christmas wreaths, urging sales now for this kind of stock in order to cut Christmas work down to some extent. The first shipment of bulbs arrived last week and they are selling readily. There is a great increase in the sales of baskets for funeral work, on account of the scarcity of wire designs. A. N. Dailey had an attractive Hal- loween window. A. J. McNutt continues to do a rush- ing business. C. S. Custer, the Gratz street florist, has been doing a nice business and cleaning up each day. Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno continues busy and was compelled to turn busi- ness down during the last ten days. D, R. Mayo received a shipment of bulbs last week and reported heavy sales. Baum's Home of Flowers reports the largest month's business in its history. K. P. B. Leesburg, Fla. — J. Anderson, Jr., deals in florists' supplies. His specialty is magnolia leaves. Oklahoma City, Okla.— C. Curlee has been ill with pneumonia since Septem- ber, but is recovering. Durham, N. C— R. Hibbard has been in the florists' business in this city for thirty years. He is still connected with the Hibbard Floral Co., of which his son, Christy N. Hibbard, is in active management. Auburn, Ala.— W. C. Cook has severed his connection with the Rosemont Gar- dens, at Montgomery, Ala., and taken the management of the greenhouses of the Auburn College, where a commercial department is maintained along with experimental work. 20 The Florists^ Review NOTIHBIB 7, 1918. BOOHESTEB, N. Y. Tbe Market. According to all reports, the epidemic of Spanish influenza Is waning, but as yet places of amusement, churches and schools are under quarantine. The ban is expected to be lifted within a week. The florists have been exceptionally busy during the last five weeks, but this last week there has been a decided fall- ing off in our business. This report comes from all of the uptown florists, not one of whom has experienced any such rush as during the few weeks pre- vious. Stock consequently is plentiful and prices are getting down to normal. A good many more flowers reach the market from outside growers, among them being a quantity of chrysanthe- mums. Beautiful stock is seen in Unaka, Chrysolora, Pacific Supreme, Eager, Golden Glow and Halliday. A fine lot of pompons is seen, as well as a good showing of single varieties of mums. There is, however, a scarcity of the little yellow pompon so far this sea- son. The demand for roses is not so great as it has been, but the shorter- stemmed stock has cleaned up well. The quality of the roses arriving is fine, the mild weather having helped them. Ophelia, Sunburst, Columbia and Bus- sell sell well. Bed varieties, such as Scott Key and Hoosier Beauty, have dragged during the last few days. Dou- ble violets arrive daily, but the de- mand for them is not large. Easter lilies are not plentiful, nor is the de- mand so large as it should be. A few good gladioli continue to arrive and sell well. Dahlias have been in good de- mand, but the frosts ten days ago made an end of all the small buds. They have not been nearly so plentiful this season. Carnations show a decided improve- ment in quality of late and are at pres- ent in fine condition. The stems are short, but the most of them are used for funeral work. A few outside flow- ers continue to arrive, among them being fine cosmos, gaillardia and a little candytuft. African marigolds and calendulas are useful for basket work. Some fine snapdragon is seen. Potted mums, pompons, gloxinias and primulas, combined with an excellent assortment of crotons, berried plants and ferns, are seen in all the stores and are selling nicely. In the wholesale markets the demand for supplies of all kinds has been active during the last week or two. Greens are plentiful. Various Notes. E. G. Hill, of Bichmond, Ind., called on the trade during the week and spoke in glowing terms of his new rose, Pre- mier. He says that business is remark- ably good with his firm, and his trip thus far has been successful indeed. The business, stock and fixtures of the late Paul Campus, of the Eosery Flower Shop, on Clinton avenue south, have been purchased by E. Kendig, of the Floral Art Studio, of Oswego, N. Y., who has taken possession and is doing a fair amount of business. He will con- tinue to run both stores. An artistic window decoration was seen at the store of the J. B. Keller Sons this week, which was composed chiefly of yellow pompons and violets. A few highly colored crotons were noted here, as well as numerous baskets of flowers. H. E. Wilson during the week had a splendid lot of chrysanthemums at his store on Main street, which included Alice Day, Touset, Golden Glow, White Turner, Chrysolora, Fairy Queen and Minta. Business has been exceptionally brisk with this firm, but a falling off in both funeral and wedding work has been noticed during the last few days. Harry Merritt, of the Boulevard, has a splendid house of carnations, which are in fine condition. There is every evidence that his winter crop will be large. The hearts of many of the florists have been cheered this week by the ar- rival of Dutch bulbs. Several of the growers have received a large part of their orders and are making every effort to get them into the flats as early as possible. George T. Boucher had a pretty window arrangement for the week-end, in which lavender pompons and chrysanthemums and pink bouvar- dia were featured. Some fine Bird 's-nest ferns also were seen. Arrangements are well under way for the chrysanthemum show, which takes place during the week of November 3. Mrs. Arvilla Smith has been added to the sales force of the Eochester Floral Co. Miss Ellis, who has been sick for two weeks, expects to return to the store in a few days. Edwin P. Wilson, Jr., has been helping out during the rush. The Greeks who have stands along Main street have been inactive during the rush, owing to the fact that flowers were, so scarce and expensive. The trade they cater to looks for inexpen- sive bouquets for cemetery use chiefly. H. J. H. by the disagreeableness of the thing, he thought it might have been the "flu." F. P. A. COLUMBUS, O. BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. The end of the week finds market conditions quite the reverse of those of the last three weeks. There is any quantity of stock to be had, except for the shortage of Easter lilies and or- chids. The demand for funeral flow- ers has dropped off all of a sudden and in counter sales there is no important activity. Excellent roses are accumu- lating. The spot-light flower, however, is the chrysanthemum. The supply of these is good and indications are that the market is overdone on yellow, with a shortage of pink and white existing. Eoses arriving are all of good quality, with Sunburst, Eussell aH^ Ophelia in the lead. Flowers and stems are of good substance, making them satisfac- tory keepers. Special American Beau- ties do not find the market open to them. This, of course, is due to the supply of chrysanthemums. The Beau- ty buyers are taking advantage of the mum season. The short grades are used in baskets and funeral bunches. Violets are finding an unseasonably slow market. They are of good size and form attractive bunches. The only fault that can be found with them is that they are off color. Various Notes. C. F. Christensen, of Eggertsville, is marketing some extra fancy pompons. The varieties are Mensa and Golden Mensa. There is nothing to beat them. Felix Alberts, of Eochester, was in the city November 4. Mr. Alberts has been ill. He said he did not know what was the matter with him, but, judging Tke Market. Business has been brisk here for the last few weeks, with funeral work the heaviest in history for the month of Oc- tober. Stock is more plentiful now, but it was hard to get a couple of weeks ago. The early mums were cleaned up before they were half ready for cutting and there was a scramble at all times for them. Eoses are more plentiful and prices are down somewhat. Carnations are coming in larger -quantities and are demanding a good price. Lilies are scarce, but a few callas are coming in now. Sweet peas are in and are filling in nicely on corsage work. Some vio- lets are coming, but the demand for them is rdther light at present. There never was such a quantity of mums used so early in the season. Some grow- ers had them in early and they brought top-notch prices. They still are moving in fine shape and some good stock is to be seen. Chadwicks, Bonnaffons, Eo- man Golds and Chrysoloras are in full swing at this writing. Potted plants are scarce and it looks as though they will be all winter, as a great many growers have cut them out entirely. Various Notes.' Sherman Stephens, E. Metzmeier, Underwood Bros., T. J. Ludwig and James McKellar all report that busi- ness has. been excellent, although they were handicapped by a lack of stock. During the influenza epidemic a great many soldiers died at the barracks and government depot here, while a number of the Columbus boys, who died at the cantonments, were sent home for burial. These conditions brought a great amount of funeral work. J. M. NEWABK, N. J.. The Market. Most of the local florists have been busy during the last week with funeral work, due largely to the epidemic of in- fluenza and pneumonia. The transient trade is beginning to pick up now, though it is not brisk. There is prac- tically no decoration work, because of the ban on public meetings of all kinds. Chrysanthemums now coming into the market are of excellent quality. There are also more varieties than there have been before this season. Dahlias are much more plentiful and are of good quality. The cold nights are beginning to cut into the supply of cosmos, al- though this flower still is plentiful. Various Notes. Philips Bros., of Broad street, have been so busy with funeral work recently that it has been necessary to keep open evenings several times a week. Henry Hornecker, Central avenue, f©=\ ports good business. Located near a\ cemetery, but not opposite the entrance, he has not done so much funeral work as some of the other florists, but the large number of burials will mean more work for him later, when the graves will be covered for the winter with evergreens, and in the spring.

Samuel E, Taylor, for many years in the trade at Springfield, O., succumbed to an attack of pneumonia October 22. He is survived by three brothers, "Wil- liam D. Taylor, of Jackson, Mich.; John D.

She formerly had been located in Los AngeleSi Knowing this noble girl and her parents as the writer did prevents doing justice to her mem- ory. Words cannot express one's sym- pathy at such times and we can only hope that time will soften the blow. H. B. Richards. John B. Joliansen. After an illness of only ten days, with Spanish influenza, which developed into pneumonia, John B. Johansen died Oc- tober 28, Mr. Johansen was only 25 years of age. For the last year he had been with the Bernard Johansen Seed Co., San Francisco, but for the four years previous he was with the Hunter Seed Co., also of San Francisco, seed growers. Fred H, Hunter speaks of him as one of the bright young men of the seed growing business, one with every- thing to make life worth living, and one whose death casts a shadow of sadness over the ranks of those in the seed producing business on the coast. William Wood. William Wood, for many years hor- ticultural inspector of Los Angeles • county, California, and since horticul- tural commissioner for the same county, died recently at his home in Whittier, Cal., at the age of 70 years. He prob- ably was the most widely known of all the inspectors. As a proof of the esteem in which he was held by the nurserymen and others in the city of Los Angeles, members of the trade got together when the post of commissioner became open and recommended him unanimously for this office. The Horticultural Society also was solidly for him. That the choice was a good one has been shown by the smooth running of the work in his hands. A gentle, unassuming man, he had the respect of all who knew him either in a business way or as a friend. Apparently he had no enemies. His long experience in horticultural work and his study of insect pests and other matters pertaining to his work led many people to seek his advice, which was always freely given. The funeral was held at Whittier Heights cemetery Oc- tober 28. The Market. With the abatement of the influenza epidemic and the consequent smaller call for flowers for funeral work, the general demand has dwindled to a point really below normal. In all lines the market is well supplied and there is an accumulation of stock which is hard to move. The warm weather last week pushed everything forward, and gave new life to outside flowers. There is an abundance of chrysanthemums and pompons and clearances of arrivals are difficult, even with liberal concessions in price. Greenhouse varieties are un- usually plentiful, many of the later sorts having made an appearance al- ready. It is not often that BonnafEon is available for Halloween require- ments, but it was the case this season. There is a strong probability that the chrysanthemum cut for Thanksgiving will be lighter than for some years. Violets have suffered severely on ac- count of the heat, most of the arrivals being almost worthless. Carnations are more plentiful and do not move readily; the best are bringing as high as $3 per hundred, but the majority go for less than $2. Much of the stock is unde- veloped, evidencing anxiety on the part of shippers to rush it into market. Boses are not so heavy in supply; con- sequently prices have not materially changed. The quality is a little better, owing to a drop in temperatures in the last few days. Orchids are a little lighter in supply, but the demand for them is also lighter; 35 cents is about the minimum price for cattleyas. Calen- dulas, cosmos, bouvardias and tritomas are coming in quantity, but their move- ment is sluggish. Lilies are in good sup- ply, but have fallen in price consider- ably; the top is now $12 per hundred and fairly good flowers can be had at as low as $8. Lily of the valley is on the scarce side, but the best is bringing only $8 per hundred. There is every sign of a change to a more seasonable temperature, and frosty nights will have the effect of cutting out a lot of stock the market can well afford to lose. Various Notes. The fuel situation is improving, some florists think. It is certain that the Fuel Administration is disposed to be a little more lenient. An order has gone forth that florists who can use coal in sizes less than No. 1 buckwheat may use all they can get, irrespective of the fifty per cent restriction. Agents rep- resenting Pennsylvanian mines, which are not in a position to supply regular domestic sizes, are offering run-of-mine soft anthracite, screened once, at $5.50 per ton at the mine, and appear to be anxious to book orders for immediate shipment. While this quality of coal is not so good as the regular hard coal, it can be burned in ordinary grates and would help out in emergencies. Samuel Parlew, of Spiwak & Parlew, the lily growers, of Elmhurst, L. I., died November 1, of pneumonia, fol- lowing Spanish influenza. The damage occasioned by the fire at the store of the New York Florists' Supply Co., October 24, was fuUy cov- ered by insurance. Commissioner William F. Grell, of the park department, is personally directing the work of removing sod on both sides of the Mall in Central park, where ex- tensive flower beds are to be laid out. The beds are to occupy a frontage of about 800 feet on each side of this broad walk, and are to be about five feet wide. The beds will be completed this fall in readiness for spring plant- ings J. H.

No florist can fail to rejoice that the German militarists now are to take school- ing in the three R's — restitution, repara- tion and renunciation. With the war nearly won, with the "flu" on the wane and with the fuel re- striction order nearly off, we may all be thankful and prepare for Thanksgiving. For the last four or five months it has been the general opinion, even in the east, where coal was scarcest, that the labor shortage is more important than the fuel situation. Moss is one of the items it will be well to conserve. The season's supply prac- tically is out of the swamps and the quan- tity is much smaller than usual. If we don 't save moss we shall be out of it before spring. Among the bad habits of plantsmen is that of holding, unacknowledged, until the next batch of stock is ready, orders received in excess of those which can be filled at once. Curiously, some of those who do this when they are sellers, holler hardest when they are buyers and the other fellow fails to answer letters about the non-arrival of needed stock. One of the paper-saving orders of the War Industries Board makes it obligatory for publishers to stop sending the paper' when the subscription runs out. Any pub- lisher who does otherwise risks his busi- ness life. The Review now sends its re- quest for renewal three weeks before sub- scriptions expire. To avoid missing a copy, renewals should be sent promptly fiack numbers are not available. THE PINK PABT. None of the features of The Review have proved more successful than the Pink Section, devoted exclusively to the advertisements of florists who are prepared to fill orders for local delivery as received from florists at a distance. The pink paper has made it possible to open the magazine directly to these ad- vertisements; the index by towns takes one directly to the page. It is by far the handiest arrangement thus far de- vised and the Pink Section is in uni- versal daily use. Like this: During the last week I have consulted the Pink Section of The Bevlew several times a day and I want my Shoppe to be represented. — B. S. Fearn, Elyrla, 0., October 81, 1918. For mechanical reasons it is feasible to print only sixteen pages in the pink section. It looks as though the section might soon be filled to its capacity. A CHANCE TO CLEAN X7P. The tremendous demand and unusual- ly good prices during the month of October afford an opportunity the good business men in the trade will not let slip by. It gives a chance to clear the books. For many men operating greenhouses 1918 has been a hard year. It began with the worst winter ever known. Few greenhouses produced the expected reve- nue and expenses rose alarmingly. Dur- ing the summer it has been necessary to make large investments in coal for the approaching winter. Bills have accumu- lated. ' Collections in the trade have been slow. But improvement was noted in Oc- tober, and in November the trade has the best chance in a long time to get the books cleared. Collections should be good. The public has bought flowers as never before; there has been no waste; good prices have been obtained; retail- ers, if they look after their collections as they should, will be able to pay their bills. Passing the money on, everybody will be placed in a more comfortable position than for many months. Don't neglect collections this month. THANKSGIVING PROSPECTS. With turkeys soaring around 50 cents a pound and every loyal American re- quested to forego the toothsome Thanks- giving treat so that "our boys over there ' ' can have the one thing that will remind them of home, there is going to be a somewhat different celebration of the holiday in the homes of the United States this year. But there is one thing that goes with Thanksgiving that every- one can have in greater measure than ever before and that is the chrysan- themum. Because of fuel and labor restrictions, a great majority of the growers this year planted heavily to mums, planning so that after the crop is harvested the houses can be closed. Consequently, mums at Thanksgiving will be even more plentiful than usual, but the de- mand for flowers is greater, so that there will be no chance that the big supply cannot be moved. Already the S. A. F. has opened the advertising drive for the sale of chrysan- themums this season. A full page ad- vertisement in color appeared in the November issue of the Metropolitan magazine. It is up to every florist to get the benefit of this national adver- tising by calling attention to it in his local newspapers; post the page in color in his store and in the windows and keep the latter filled with a display of seasonable flowers, with mums predomi- nating. Just because there is a heavy supply of mums, as it seems certain there will be, there is no reason to cut prices. Keep the price up, but make the stock move by intensive selling methods. Advertis- ing is the one best bet at times like these and as most people have more money than ever before, the holiday should bring bigger and more profitable business than in the years gone by. COAI. SITUATION EASES. Observers of the situation have noted a steadily easing tendency in regard to coal ever since the new season opened. Scarcely an issue of The Review has appeared without some item indicating that the lusty admonitions of the Fuel Administration were merely the beat- ing of the big bass drum to call the crowd; the restriction orders were so much more drastic than there was need for them to be that relaxation steadily has followed the development of sup- plies in excess of the demand. The handling of the situation by the authorities has not been wholly to the liking of the trade. In the first place, the restrictioii order came so late in the season that many growers had made commitments which would have caused them considerable loss had the situa- tion turned out to be as serious as the authorities then said it was. On the other hand, numerous growers who have closed or even demolished greenhouses under the belief that a strict compli- ance with the restriction order was necessary now pay the penalty for their loyalty and faith; it is too late for them to save themselves a loss. It must be said, however, that we all are better off that the situation has turned in this way than we would have been with a repetition of last winter's heatless days. Also, there is no ques- tion that, high as coal prices are, they would have been much higher had it not been for the government regulation. CHICAGO. The Market. Such a market as that of the first week in November deserves more than passing comment. The like of it sel- dom, if ever, has been known in Chi- cago. If we have not already turned the peak of the chrysanthemum season, we shall do so within a few days, as the varieties now most conspicuous in the market are Bonnaffon, Chieftain and Chadwick. Not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant have chrys- anthemums brought such good prices during the height of their season, nor have the prices of other flowers been so little affected by the heavy supplies of chrysanthemums. The prices of mums are not so high as they were be- fore the heavy midseason cuts came on, but they are much higher than during the same time last year; reports show that the averages are anywhere from fifty per cent to 100 per cent higher than for the last week in October and the first week in November last year. Much of the difference in comparisons with last year is accounted for by the quality of the stock. The market is heavily supplied with low-grade flowers, '.■•■.'

Conse- quently, the strictly fancy stock is com- manding double last year's prices, with the lower grades showing up less well. But they all clean up and for the small stuff to bring better prices than last year is remarkable when it is consid- ered what great extra quantities of mums are being grown all over the mid- dle west in houses it is planned to close when the crop is cut. Pompons are in heavy supply and are the cheapest flower on the market to- day. An enormous business is being done with them, for it is the one item in which the buyer's idea of price can be met. It is a matter for comment and con- gratulation that the prices of other flowers have held up so splendidly dur- ing the height of the chrysanthemum season. Beauties have been somewhat affected, but the price is stiffening again. Other roses are selling at much better figures than the market has been accustomed to during chrysanthemum season and carnations also are bringing unheard-of prices for this time of year. It is all the more remarkable when one considers the blow the city trade suf- fered when the health department put on its "flu" quarantine, now happily withdrawn. The retailers are doing a business above normal and are well satisfied, everything now being in their favor and most stock plentiful enough to go around. Funeral work with them con- tinues good and, although not so heavy as it was a few weeks ago, it is above normal. Shipping business continues as heavy as ever and there seems to be no let-up in the demand for flowers out- side the city. Present indications point to a record-breaking Thanksgiving business and the wholesalers seem wor- ried that there will not be enough stock for all needs, although everything will be in good supply. All varieties of roses in all lengths of stems are about equal to orders and the quality of the stock arriving con- tianea excellent.

There are plenty of single and double violets, rather more than the demand calls for, as the violet has not its old- time popularity for street wear. The quality of the stock is good. Gladioli have finally disappeared from the mar- ket, but asters still hang on. Carnations are coming in larger quantities. A bet- ter quality of stock comes in each week, but as the supply increases, so does the demand and there are not enough to answer present needs. The shortage, however, is not seriously felt, as it is made up by the big supply of pompons. There is a supply of valley sufficient for the demand. The quality of the stock is good and it brings a satisfac- tory price. Orchids are in increased supply, but do not fill the demand. Prices, however, have dropped, which is one of the reasons for the extremely heavy call for them this week. Easter lilies, as for many weeks, continue on the short side, the steady demand keep- ing up. The quality continues excel- lent and the price remains stiff. Eu- brum lilies are in good supply and answer the demand. There is a Ught supply of calla lilies and sweet peas, but there is no special demand for them at present. NOTBMBEH 7, 1918.

The month of October made a new record in this market, one which will be hard to beat. Practically everyone did more business than in any previous October and a number of wholesalers report the largest month's business ever done, exceeding even December, which for the last several years has been the big month of the twelve. Some of the increases are phenomenal, running up to more than $1,000 for each day in the month; the month's increase for some of the larger houses not so long ago would have been a good month's business for any of them. The retailers also did a big business; sales were large, but some of them complain that the profits were not in proportion, due to the high cost of stock. ^ We are opening the way to | I Better business for you | = with an increased supply of stock and lower prices. = = 164 N.Wabash Ave WHOLESALE FLORISTS r>HYr>Arwi yon write. ^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiH AMERICAN BEAUTIES None Better— All Lengt/u KYLE & rOERSTER WHOLESALE FLORISTS 160 N.

The week ending November 2 left a surplus in the cut flower market. Dahlias for the most part have been stopped because "every dog has his day," or, to be more explicit, because they were becoming scarce and poor and because there were more than enough good flowers without them. Cosmos has shared the same fate to a lesser extent. Violets, carnations, roses and pompons are in oversupply. Chrysanthemums of .course are the leading flowers of the day. This is the height of their season. The curious thing is that the fancy chrysanthemums sell best, at what ought to be remunera- tive prices. We are told that the rich are not buying flowers; that their money goes to the Red Cross and to other war work and that tha great middle class are supporting the market. Yet how the great middle class can pay prices that enable the buyers to pay 50 cents whole- sale for Turner and 33 cents for Bon- naffon passes comprehension. The prob- able solution is that there are fewer fine chrysanthemums than usual and that their support comes partly from the wealthy class and partly from those who have profited by the war. At any rate, choice chrysanthemums are good stock. Favor is enjoyed, also, by the select and medium grades, but, unfortunately, not by the pompons. Their time should come later. Careful observers think that the chrysanthemum season is one week ahead of time, owing to the warm weather. They predict that, unless the thermometer during November registers lower than usual, it will be extremely difficult to hold chrysanthemums in good condition until Thanksgiving. The early varieties are over and also some of the mid-season varieties, with a number of the growers. The market is fairly well supplied with colored stock, but it is short on white. This condition is ex- '< BERGER BROS.

The violet growers have been sending in heavy shipments, the last outdoor picking, it is said, and they have not been wanted. The waste has been the more exasperating because they would have been of such value earlier. Carna- tions, too, have been in oversupply. It has not been possible to sell them all, even at reduced prices. Roses have got back into the "job lots for leftovers" class, so common at this season. There is a larger supply of roses than usual in chrysanthemum time. Pompons have not replaced dahlias so quickly as it was expected they would. Even the indoor- grown stock exceeds the demand. While more plentiful, sweet peas are not yet much of a factor in the market. Orchids are fairly plentiful. There is a moderate supply of the mixed varieties, dendrobiums, oncidiums and vandas. Callas have come. Easter lilies are fall- ing off in numbers and they have de- clined in price. Halloween and All Saints' day did not seem to make any special difference.

The Bulb Situation. The seed houses in this city that have so large a part in the distribution of Dutch and French bulbs for this terri- tory are in a difficult position today. They have received a portion of their stock. It is of excellent quality. So far, so good. But they do not k»ow when the balance is coming, or even whether it will come at all. Without it, orders cannot be filled. For instance, an order calls for Belle Alliance and for Yellow Prince tulips. The red tulips are here and go out without any apology; but there are no yellow tulips and noth- ing can be learned of their whereabouts. Paper White narcissi are far short of the demand, and so it goes. The seeds- men are just doing the best they can, getting out their orders as far as possi- IfOTDMBEB 7, 1918.

It is said that the fine quality of the Dutch bulbs is due to the fact that the poorer ones and the cheaper va- rieties have been ground up for cattle food for use "over there." The Lifting Smoke. Now that October is past and the smoke of battle has lifted, a view of the field is of great interest. October was the most extraordinary month ever ex- perienced by the cut flower market in this city, probably in any city. No holi- day month that held either Christmas or Easter ever equaled it in the volume of business done in cut flowers. This business was due, unfortunately, almost entirely to illness and to death. It was done in the face of enormous difficul- ties. It came at a time when open-air production was on the decline and green- house production was not yet in full swing. It came at a time when labor was scarce and when fuel was re- stricted; worst of all, it came at a time when sickness was rampant and it came m a rush without warning, so that no one was prepared. The extent to which the influenza affected the workers themselves is not generally known. A number of stores were closed for days, even weeks at a time, because there was no one well enough to look after business. The wholesale houses were so short-handed that It was impossible to wait on the customers on the floor, to answer the telephone or to attend to the telegraph orders. Customers who occasionally vis- ited their chosen retail florists would come in frequently, always for remem- brances for the departed. One customer lett nine such orders at one time.

The dahlia undoubtedly fllled a place that it has never before occupied. With- out the dahlia, many, many orders that were filled would have been refused. Even yellow dahlias were used for the departed. The difference between October, Christmas and Easter from a price- standpoint was the length of time that prices remained at the high-water mark. Flowers did not have to be cut and saved and Sorted that they might be at their best on a given day. They were wanted all the time for several weeks. If not at their best on arrival, why, the purchaser just took them anyhow, with little question about price. Most of the time the wholesale houses were absolutely bare of any material what- ever. The florists' supply houses sold everything in the shape of a wreath, even to those in their sample cases, to say nothing of quantities of crepe and wax flowers. The retail shops rarely had unsold stock in sight. The benefit to the business, deplorable as was the cause, was enormous. It was limited with the growers to production; with the wholesale houses, to receipts and their ability to handle them under extraordinarily difficult conditions; with the retailers, to their ability to turn out work. There were times both in Camden and Chester when only two of the retail flower stores were open. This, then, is a brief record of this month of October in the Philadelphia cut flower market.

Let no one say that flowers are not essential. Employing Empty Oreenliouses. The following suggestions have been prepared by the Henry F. Michell Co.: On account of the restriction on the use of fuel for greenhouse heating, many florists will have glass that is destined to be idle. It could be turned into profit by adopting some of the follow- ing suggestions, which can be under- taken without expense of fuel: 1. Greenhouses are an ideal place to raise chicks, which will grow into early spring broilers to be disposed of at big prices. Greenhouse-reared chicks, with- out any heat except that furnished by the hen or brooder, will be ready for the market weeks in advance of those hatched out under a hen or in an incu- bator in the usual way. They will get the full benefit of sunshine and fresh air and yet be out of danger of drafts, rain and rodents. We would suggest in- cubators to be set in the cellar during October for January broilers, and in February for April broilers. Why not try it? Chicks will not require much care and will do no damage to the green- houses. Besides, it is a patriotic move and one that will be approved of by the government. 2. In November you can sow radish, lettuce and spinach, all of which mature before cold weather sets in permanently. Also, rhubarb can be taken up from out- doors, planted in solid benches and cov- ered with light manure. In February it will start and in a few weeks will JPur- nish an abundant crop that will yield big returns. 3. In February onion sets can be start- ed for early green scullions. Beets, too, may be sown then and be ready for market by April 15, just when the seed ^lllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllliillllillllllllllllillllllllllllllllillllilllllllllllillllllllillllllll!: I Roses, Mums, Pompons I I Russell lOc to 30t5 s I Milady 10c to 25c | I Ophelia 6c to 15c S I Ward 4c to 10c , | I Kiilarneys 6c to 14c 5 I Sunburst 8c to 14c S I Mums $2.00 to $4.00 per doz.

Carrots sown in February mature quickly. Many florists for the period of the war will find it profitable to utilize their glass not heated as market gardens, as fresh vegetables always command a ready sale at a good price. The following are the varieties suggested: Radish, Cardinal Globe, red. Radish, Icicle, long white. Spinach, Rloomsdale. Rhubarb roots. Victoria. Lettuce, Grand Rapids (leaf). Lettuce, Big Boston (head). Beets, Crimson Globe. Carrots, Rubicon. Onion Sets, White Silverskin. Turnip, Snowball. Parsley, Covent Garden. 4. Early vegetable plants, such as to- mato, cauliflower, cabbage, head lettuce, pepper and eggplant, can be had from seed sown in March and these find a ready sale in almost every community where a garden space adjoins the dwell- ing.

Mr. Comley 's eldest son is right up on the firing line. Mr. Comley reports business as good, but he is glad the tremendous rush of funeral work is over. October proved a dry month, with a precipitation of less than one inch. Only on four previous occasions has the month proved so dry in 101 years. Tem- peratures show an excess of 118 degrees for the month. The last four days of the month Boston had the warmest wave of October weather ever known. Mini- mums did not fall below 60 degrees dur- ing that period and maximums reached 80 degrees. The warmest night the min- imum was 69 degrees. Mr. Margolis, of H. M. Robinson & Co., states that October business reached the highest figures of any month since the firm started in business. So tremendous was the call for wire frames that orders could only be partially filled with a large staff working overtime making them. Henry Penn gave a most interesting address before the students of the Bur- dett Business College October 29. He spoke on the conservation of flowers, its uses and abuses, and gave practical demonstrations through assistants of how to arrange flowers artistically. His address was listened to with great in- terest. September business at the Penn store was more than double that of a year ago and October business was 36 The Florists^ Rcvkw NOTBMBIB 7, 1018. nearly double. Window decorations of mums, crotons and oak leaves are effec- tive. The Waban Eose Conservatories, in addition to splendid shipments of Bus- sell, Hadley, Stanley and Ophelia roses, are cutting the finest single-stem mums coming into the Boston market. Galvin's had some handsome floral designs for the funeral November 2 at Brookline of A. Paul Keith, head of the Keith chain of theaters. In the window decorations cattleyas, oncidiums and chrysanthemums are principally used. The extreme heat the closing days of October raised havoc with violets. Kid- der Bros., specialists in these flowers, had 2,500 of their flowers ruined one day and there were others in the same predicament. The autumn tints on trees and shrubs have been superb this season, thanks to the clear skies we have had. There have been extra large attendances on recent Saturdays at the Arnold Arbore- tum, where Professor J. G. Jack has con- ducted the interested visitors and has pointed out the numerous highly-colored plants in this famous collection. Eecent letters from Stanley W. Hall, one of which was published in last week's Eeview, state that he has re- covered from the machine gun bullet wound in his leg and is back on the fir- ing line. The many friends here of Superin- tendent F. C. Green, of Roger Williams park, Providence, are glad to learn that now he is at home convalescing from a recent serious operation. The Boston Cooperative Market elected these directors at its annual meeting October 26: W. E. Holden, J. M. Cohen, Eobert Montgomery, J. A. Simpson, D. Carmichael, Elijah Cart- wright, Norris F. Comley, William H. Elliott and John McFarland. Mr. Car- michael was reelected treasurer and Mr. McFarland secretary. Messrs. Cohen and Holden are the new members of the board. Wheeler & Co., of Waban, are cutting a splendid crop of Cattleya labiata. They also have a fine lot of Dendrobium formosum giganteum coming in. William R. Morris, of Wellesley, is passing cigars. It is a boy this time and the mother and William E., Jr., are doing nicely. C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is sending in an average of 3,000 carna- tions daily, about half of which are Matehless. J. H. Leach & Son, of North Easton, are this season having excellent pansies, in addition to their staple crop. wl|ich is carnations. > Bulb specialists are busy boxing up and potting their shipments, which have arrived in good condition, considering the length of time they have been en route. At the seed stores stocks are cleaning out rapidly. William Anderson, superintendent of the Bayard Thayer estate. South Lan- caster, has been more fortunate than many of his fellow craftsmen on the labor question, having had for some time a number of German prisoners from Camp Devens, men taken from the interned German liners. These men are in charge of armed guards and have been employed largely of late in assist- ing nearby gardeners and fruit grow- ers in securing their crops. W. N. C.

The big rnsh ol funeral work during the last three weeks was still unbroken last week, many of the retailers report- ing the demand heavier than during any preceding weeks. Chrysanthemums are increasing stead- ily, with many single varieties mak- ing their first appearance of the sea- son and some handsome specimens in the doubles being shown. Pompons were never so plentiful, and are eagerly wel- comed. Chrysanthemum plants are shown in every color and shade and they move rapidly. The rose market is in better condition than for some weeks, Russell, Shawyer, Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty and Columbia being plentiful and of especially fine quality. There are few lilies to be had and those avail- able are quickly bought up at a good figure. A large percentage of the luneral designs, especially wreaths, are made up of galax, oak or magnolia ieaves. The demand for baskets is ex- ceptionally heavy.

Outside of the demand for funeral work, the call for flowers has been slack. Various Notes. W. J. & M. S. Vesey are having an exceptionally fine crop of cattleyas this fall, and an excellent market, due to the heavy demand for funeral work. They are expecting a big crop of green- house tomatoes and lettuce in time for Thanksgiving, having several houses de- voted to these. Mrs. Lillian Underbill, sister of Fred H.

Excellent ckrysanthemumB, roses and lilies are being featured at the store of the Freese Floral Co., from their green- houses at New Haven, Ind. The month of October this year far surpassed the same month of any pre- vious year, or any other month in fact, in the large receipts of both the whole- sale and retail florist, due, of course, to the unprecedented amount of funeral work. The recent government ruling given out by William F. Gude, of Washington, D. C, allowing florists their full allot- ment of coal, was received with much relief by the florists of this city, many of whom had planned to close down at least half of their greenhouses on ac- count of their inability to procure enough coal to run their entire ranges throughout the winter. Steps are now being taken by local growers to procure their full allowance and to produce to their utmost capacity this winter. E. F. B. TORONTO, ONT.

I^ujjiig the. last two weeks Toronto florists have had probably the busiest season for the time of the year in the history of the trade here. Some idea of conditions may be obtained when we state that the number of deaths was 1,881, as compared with 445 for the same period last year. Of these 1,881 deaths, 307 occurred before October 12. Until recently, also, stock has been scarce, so that it was practically impossible in many cases, and actually so in some, to meet the demands, which were chiefly for funeral work. Stock is more plen- tiful now and trade conditions more nearly normal. . Various Notes. The Toronto Ketail Florists' Club is liolding chrysanthemum shows Novem- ber 8 and 9 at all the local shops. John H. Dunlop has been hit the hard- est, perhaps, of any of the trade here by the influenza epidemic. Lloyd Whit- more died with the disease after an ill- ness of only four days. George M.

San Diego, Cal. — The San Diego & Arizona railroad published a notice in the local press that flowers for Camp Kearny would be received between the hours of 9 and 10 a. m., October 9, for delivery at the base hospital, stating that members of the San Diego Floral Association would be in attendance to receive them.- Portland, Ore. — The illustrated lec- tures of Howard Evarts "Weed on civic improvement are receiving highly favor- able press comment in the cities and towns visited by the landscape archi- tect. Mr. Weed shows the importance of beautifying the waste places of a municipality not only for the sake of the scenic effect, but from the stand- point also of increased real estate values and better business conditions brought about by attracting more people to build their homes in well kept places. The moral effect of proper surroundings and the spirit of civic pride developed by making the most of the possibilities that lie dormant in every locality are other arguments set forth with graphic em- phasis from appropriate views thrown on the screen. Mr. Weed is an interest- ing and convincing speaker. BIRD-OF-PARADISE FLOWEK. Will you kindly tell me the correct name of the plant from which the en- closed leaf was taken? In this locality the name generally heard is bird-of- paradise flower or lyre-bird flower. The plant seldom blooms here, but the occa- sional flowers that it does bear are unique and striking. The leaf enclosed is an unusually small one. W, E. K.— Cal. The species commonly known as the bird-of-paradise flower is Strelitzia Ke- ginep. The leaf submitted was so dry and discolored, on arrival, that it was impossible to identify it positively. Ex- cept in its comparative smallness, how- ever, it bears a general resemblance to the leaves of Strelitzia Eeginse. The leaves of the latter average nearly a foot long, or about twice the length of the enclosed specimen, but the inquiry states that the specimen is unusually small. The leaf -stalks of S. Reginae are all radical; that is, they all grow from the roofof the plant. Its flowers are orange and purple and are curiously shaped; the bracts are described as "large, spathe-like and boat-shaped." Altogether they are odd enough in form and color to be called "unique," as in the query. The plants do not bloom reg- ularly unless provided with good condi- tions, including a rich soil and plenty of water. INSECTS IN WAI.K8. I have sent you some insects in a jar, with the cover screwed on securely, and I trust they will arrive safely. These insects appear by the million in our greenhouse walks, climb up the legs of the benches and then disappear. Can you tell me something about them, their name or class and whether they are friends, foes or neutral? T.J. — Ore. The insects forwarded in the jar came duly to hand. I am unable to determine just what they are. Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas would seem to be the best remedy. You might destroy multitudes by pouring hot water over the walks; if the water contained a lit- tle nicotine, it would be all the more deadly. If you would use a force pump and spray the walks and the space be- low the benches well with kerosene emul- sion, or one of the nicotine preparations like Black Leaf 40, with some soap add- ed, you probably would get rid of them. C. W. LOS ANGELES. The Market. Another week of the influenza epi- demic has resulted in a lengthy death list, with its consequently large amount of funeral work. The rush has been so great that extra help has had to be put on in practically all the stores and the regular staff kept working to the limit. Mums have helped out in this time of stress, as it was impossible to get other stock wired up in many cases. Turners, Bonnaffons and Appletons are the best offerings now, the bright-colored Har- vard and the pink Maud Dean also being on the list. Roses are more plentiful also and there is a better supply of car- x'i:;t!5:x!]tJS5LS!]L;i!5:x!3:x!5:x5!:xfc;i nations and small flowers. Giant mari- golds are fine for shipping and make a good show. Dahlias are past their prime, but as long as the weather keeps open there will be some of them. Callas are in, coming to the market much earlier than usual, and there is some demand for them for shipping, owing to the lack of Easter lilies. The .brake shortage con- tinues. Various Notes. The death of William Wood, commis- sioner of horticulture for Los Angeles county, is noted in the obituary column, as is also that of Miss Hazel Morton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Morton, of Phoenix, Ariz. A. Francis, manager of the Western Orchid Co., of Alameda, Cal., was among the visitors this week. He formerly was located in this city and in San Diego and has been looking up old friends. Harry C. Soekle, of the F. Lichtenberg force, has changed his name to Harry C. Morgan and would like his friends to note that fact. Mr. Morgan, it will be remembered, came to Lichtenberg's some years ago from Podesta & Bal- docchi, San Francisco, after being with this firm from eight to nine years. A look through the Superior Dahlia Gardens shows a wonderful wealth of bloom for so late in the season. The varieties are so numerous that no at- tempt was made to take notes of them, but the show as a whole is superb. Be- sides a cut of 1,000 blooms daily for the florists' trade in the city, Mr. Gutting uses a great many in funeral work and for presentation boxes, which illustrates the utility of the dahlia as a florists' flower, when the varieties are selected with reference to the end in view. For display purposes, the dahlia has/proved a great attraction to passing pedestri- ans and motorists. A pleasing duty is that of recording the fact of the promotion of Miss Rose Lathrop to the post of manager of the floral department at Hamburger 's. Miss Lathrop has been employed in this de- partment for between eight and nine L. A. FLORAL CO. "Quality and Sarvie*" is our motto FRED SPERRY.

SAN FEANCISCO. The Market. There has been little change in the local market since the last report. The shipping demand continues brisk and what flowers remain after out-of-town orders are filled clean up easily, as a result of the heavy requirements of the local retailers for funeral work. The rush is beginning to tell upon both wholesalers and retailers. To cope with the abnormal demand has required con- tinuous effort for the last ten days, in- cluding much night work, and every- body IS beginning to look forward to the return of normal conditions, al- though it will mean less business. Al- though the San Francisco health de- OVER THE TOP Some time ago we announced we were "still on top." Now we are over the top with a fine lot of stock.

Several of the old- timers in the business claim they never before saw so many floral pieces turned out by the local trade in one week as have been made in the last week. The large supply of chrysanthemums and pompons has been welcome, as these flowers work up easily and a big show- ing can be made on a small amount of money and with less work.

The chrysanthemum season is on the wane, but it will long be remembered as a profitable one for all branches of the business. The big fancy varieties are about all gone now and another 44 The Florists' Review NOVBMBDB 7, 1918. week will see the supply of smaller Chinese mums on the decline. Ship- ments to the Chicago market have al- ready ceased, but the demand is still heavy from intermediate points. Carnations demand high prices, espe- cially white ones. Everything in the shape of a white carnation sells, re- gardless of quality, at prices seldom reached here for the finest kind of stock. Hoses leave nothing to be de- sired, the quality being good, the sup- ply ample for requirements and prices only slightly above normal for this time of the year. Violets improve as the season advances. There is plenty of cosmos and it is well taken; the same may be said of snapdragons and other miscellaneous stock. Orchids are plen- tiful and opportunely so, in view of the big demand for high-class funeral work. Various Notes. Angelo J. Eossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., says they have been so rushed for the last ten days that the entire force is nearly tired out. Sunday was spent making floral pieces and Monday was the heaviest day of funeral work to date in the history of the firm. For- tunately, the epidemic has not visited any of the staff. The downtown florists have missed the regular visits of Peter Ferrari this week. It is understood he is on the sick list. P. V. Matraia, of the Art Floral Co., says funeral work has claimed every bit of attention for the last ten days, but he hopes to see conditions a little more normal by the end of the week. George Duffy, with the MacBorie- McLaren Co., has been home taking care of his mother and brother, who have the influenza. Otherwise this firm's force has not been affected by the epi- demic. Walter Hoff reports business active, meaning, of course, funeral work. Mr. MacBorie has just returned from a business trip in the southern part of the state. Mr. Wagner, formerly with B. M. Joseph 's, paid this establishment a visit a few days ago. He is now wearing a Merchant Marine uniform and is quite enthusiastic over that branch of the service. Many friends mourn the death of Mrs. Mary D. Boland, wife of the late James B. Boland. Mrs. Boland passed away Sunday evening, October 27, fol- lowing an illness of three weeks. Upon the death of her husband, the business in Kearny street bearing his name was continued by Mrs. Boland, under the management of Charles F. Shellgrain. What disposition will be made of it has not been announced. As the chrysanthemum season draws to a close, officials of the United Flower & Supply Co. are beginning to turn their attention more to roses. They ex- pect to have an unusually heavy cut of the latter this winter, as many of the partners in the business have thrown out carnations in the last year in favor of roses. Among the varieties grown by different members of the firm in con- siderable quantity now are Prima Donna, Ophelia, Mrs. Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty, Hadley and others. In a few days a nice cut of Ophelia is expected from Stege, a suburb on the east side of San Francisco bay. It is the inten- tion of the United Flower & Supply Co. to ship roses to Salt Lake and other in- terior points on an extensive scale dur- ing the remainder of the year.

He has had two men on the sick list for several days, which has made it doubly hard to handle the enormous de- mand for mums. Everything cleans up, he says, and never before did he see small white and pink chrysanthemums demand such high prices. The demand for short roses also has been exception- ally brisk, on account of so much fu- neral work. Enomoto & Co. figure another week will practically put a stop to chrysan- themum shipping and see the violet season well under way. C. Kooyman says flowers can now be sold in the Bush street wholesale dis- trict at almost any time of the night, it no longer being surprising to see groups of buyers waiting at the market for hours for flowers to come in. The retail seed stores in lower Mar- ket street have not shared in the rush which has visited the florists in the last two weeks. Instead of stimulating sales for them, the Spanish influenza epi- demic has brought business practically to a standstill. Immediate improve- ment is anticipated, however, when the epidemic has run its course. The Hallawell Seed Co. expects its consignments of Dutch bulbs to arrive around the middle of November. M. M. POBTLAITD, ORE. The Market. Boses, mums and pompons are the principal items of stock seen in the market. Mums are bringing from $3 to $5 per dozen, and roses from $1.50 to $3. Pompons are not plentiful yet. In the shops the florists are too busy to talk and one has literally to wade through masses of floral pieces and lit- ter. Various Notes. Wallace Garside, of Clarke Bros., is congratulating himself that his mother did not take passage, as she contem- plated doing, on the ill-fated steamer Princess Sophia, which sank in Lynn canal, Alaska. On account of the ban on public meetings of various kinds due to the epidemic of influenza, the Portland Floral Society held no meeting in Octo- ber, which was generally regretted, as the meetings of the society have been interesting and enjoyable. Henry Kahn has planted a house to St. Louis snaps, which are looking well. His Fordhook Pink and Yarrawa sweet peas are setting buds. He hopes to be able to control their growth this year. Last year they tried to get through the glass, although they have eleven feet of space overhead. His Godfrey callas are beginning to show blooms and his Mignonette Matchless is coming on in fine form. G. Zitzewitz is working again for Martin & Forbes Co. He formerly was employed by this concern for a num- ber of years. . H. K. INSECTS ON ASTERS. We have been troubled with insects that sting the buds of our asters, mak- ing the flowers imperfect.

It is an active, bronze- colored sucking insect, less than one- quarter of an inch in length. I* punc- tures and stunts the terminal buds on many growing plants, including asters, chrysanthemums and a number of other members of the compositse family. In- jured plants become dwarfed and stunt- ed and produce imperfect flowers. There is no spray which will control this de- structive insect, but if you will burn up rubbish instead of leaving it in heaps about your grounds every winter, you will rid yourself of the bulk of them.

A. F. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Slogan Becoming Familiar. Thoreau is quoted as saying, "Most vi men lead lives of quiet desperation. ' ' To get the public mind concentrated on flowers, especially in these troublous ■,. times, is hard indeed for an individual •to attempt; in fact, nothing but a des- , perate effort would be rewarded with -. success. One of the ideas back of our : publicity campaign was to make an or- /ganized effort to do this thing, in order that the florists might cut this despera- . tion out of their business lives and en- joy a better demand for plants and flow- ers. And who shall say our committees have not succeeded? Through our magazine advertising many thousands of people have turned their minds to flowers as mediums for the expression of sentiment under various conditions. Every mail brings to this office numbers of letters from all parts of the country requesting copies of our little booklet, ' ' Say It with Flow- ers," and information in regard to fill- ing orders in distant cities. This result is gratifying to us, even though repre- senting only a fraction of the interest which is aroused by the publicity our fund provides. Our slogan has even had expression ^ FOREIGN SERVICE x PARCHESTER, ERGLAHD pNGLEYS.Ltd.. Florists liSHEFFIELD, ENGLAND WM. ARTINDALE & SON ngnsn iiEiiiMn WMEITMBI LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND DINGLEYS,Ltd..

We are informed that recently in a vaudeville performance, during a pause in a dual song-and-dance act where, according to custom, a little banter passes between the partners, the male of the duet made a stammering protestation of love to the female, whereupon the latter said: "Oh, cut it out and say it with flowers." This brought a hearty laugh from the audience, which, it is quite fair to as- sume, recognized the slogan. The Dealers' Helps. Gradually but irresistibly our slogan is taking hold. Any florist who is n.ot giving it a personal push is making a mistake. Our promotion bureau is pro- viding the means for a push through the dealers' aids service. The beautiful glass sign displayed in any store window says "Say It with Flowers" all day long and every day. If this sign at $2 is considered an extravagance, then there is the decalcomanie sign, supplied in units of four, in sizes for windows and door panels, at $1 per unit. Our bureau has supplied hundreds of these transfer signs, but ought to place ten times the number. There are stickers in three sizes, suitable for affixing to envelopes, boxes, express packages and the like, the use of which connects the slogan to an individual establishment. Our lantern slides for use in the moving picture houses are works of art at chromo prices. Our electrotype service, comprising newspaper plates featuring 50 The Florists' Review NOVBMBEK 7, 1918.

A. F. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Slogan Becoming Familiar. Thoreau is quoted as saying, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." To get the public mind concentrated on flowers, especially in these troublous times, IS hard indeed for an individual to attempt; in fact, nothing but a des- perate eifort would be rewarded with success. One of the ideas back of our puDlicity campaign was to make an or- f^"?^f/^ effort to do this thing, in order tnat the florists might cut this despera- tion out of their business lives and en- joy a better demand for plants and flow- ers. And who shall say our committees have not succeeded? Through our magazine advertising many thousands of people have turned their minds to flowers as mediums for the expression of sentiment under various conditions. Every mail brings to this office numbers of letters from all parts of the country requesting copies of our little booklet, ' ' Say It with Flow- ers," and information in regard to fill- ing orders in distant cities. This result is gratifying to us, even though repre- senting only a fraction of the interest which is aroused by the publicity our fund provides. Our slogan has even had expression nr FOREIGN ""AIIBHE5TER, ENGLAND 5jNGLEYS.Ltd.. Florists SHEFFIELD.

We are informed that recently in a vaudeville performance, during a pause in a dual song-and-dance act where, according to custom, a little banter passes between the partners, the male of the duet made a stammering protestation of love to the female, whereupon the latter said: "Oh, cut it out and say it with flowers." This brought a hearty laugh from the audience, which, it is quite fair to as- sume, recognized the slogan. The Dealers' Helps. Gradually but irresistibly our slogan is taking hold. Any florist who is not giving it a personal push is making a mistake. Our promotion bureau is pro- viding the means for a push through the dealers' aids service. The beautiful glass sign displayed in any store window says "Say It with Flowers" all day long and every day. If this sign at $2 is considered an extravagance, then there is the decalcomanie sign, supplied in units of four, in sizes for windows and door panels, at $1 per unit. Our bureau has supplied hundreds of these transfer signs, but ought to place ten times the number. There are stickers in three sizes, suitable for afSxing to envelopes, boxes, express packages and the like, the use of which connects the slogan to an individual establishment. Our lantern slides for use in the moving picture houses are works of art at chrome prices. Our electrotype service, comprising newspaper plates featuring 52 The Florists' Review November 7, 1918.

We are still waiting to hear from a surprisingly large number of florists who liave not yet contributed to the fund. Every dollar so far contributed has been applied to the work, and about $5,000 more is required to complete the plans made for the year.

Now, during a rush like the present, we are apt to forget probable conditions of the future, as, for instance, where the demands for flowers have been many on account of the influenza epidemic, there doubtless will be a curtailment of flowers for personal use later on, due to the unusual expenditure now. It is up to us to keep the ball rolling by continually advertising our slogan, "Say It with Flowers." Now, many may say, "Why advertise our product when we have a shortage of flowers, as perhaps will be the case later?" Do you not realize that when you create the demand you will also create something that will fill the bill, if not with one thing, then with another? Have you noticed how many manufac- turers have been advertising their prod- ucts to the public, although the govern- ment has commandeered their entire output for the period of the war? This is done for the sole purpose of holding the good will of the public, so that the product may not be forgotten when times become normal again. What do you think the slogan will mean to every thinking man, woman and child, when in doubt what to send to mother, father, sister or brother? Do you realize the effect it will have? And if all who use printers' ink will make use of it, do you realize what the future will have in store for you? Go the limit with the slogan and you will merit the benefits more and more.

Among other things this axiom is applicable to flower values and their rise to dizzy heights during the early days of October, which apparently had defied the magnetic force of augmented supply to draw them back to normal levels, until a record was made that is epochal. But it is all over now. The suction caused by increasing supply drew the wind from the wings of de- mand during the latter days of October and both the conditions of value are now floating at a level. Prices are still good, but easy. All orders are being filled in full; occasionally a few hundred roses are left over at the end of the day. The casuals, who were so strong in insistence and long in assurance of steady patronage, one by one are filing their excuses, covering reduction in orders and cancellations, and hurrying off to the points of congestion, as busi- ness slowly floats into the quiet waters of decreased demand. Never before was there such a condition and possibly never again will the wholesaler and re- tailer both make the money that conditions in October made possible. Hypothetical tales already are at hand concerning increases in sales over pre- ceding October records that are astound- ing and in many cases incredible.

Schluraff, of the Schluraflf Floral Co., Erie., Pa., states that the extraordinary inflation of flower values in October resulted in some of her trade, to whom the law of supply and demand is a thing unknown, uttering the cry of "Profiteer." The demand for flowers in that city of wealthy toilers is growing with leaps and bounds, and Mrs. Schluraff has ap- plied all of the laws of psychology to the effort to incite interest and desire in the minds of the people, and the measure of her success is of satisfac- tory proportions. Extensive remodel- ing in her store has been carried out. An important improvement is a mez- zanine floor for ofiice and display pur- poses. A new delivery car has been purchased and also a limousine, for both pleasure and business. The range of greenhouses on Eighteenth street has been leased for the culture of vegetables. This arrangement permits running the other range at 100 per cent capacity. Chicago THE PALMER '^Onst """^^ FLORIST 17 East Monroe St. FRIEDMAN, ^}ss^ CHICAGO, ILL. 622 So.

For Central and Northern Illinois Mrs. Schluraff has been chiefly instru- mental in creating the wonderful de- mand for flowers that exists in Erie and the business she has developed is a great tribute to her capacity as a modern executive. Eliot Wordcn, dean of the local flo- rists, is busy as the proverbial bee. He directed attention to the small mortality rate among the florists' trade since the Spanish influenza became epidemic throughout the length and breadth of the land, and advances the opinion that, on the whole, florists possess better average health and vitality than the human components of any other trade or profession. Stock at Mr. Worden's greenhouses is in excellent condition and shows the result of expert care. G. Wickstrom says that when business at his place is conspicuous by its ab- sence, stock is so plentiful that it can be had for almost the asking, but the min- ute activity commences, he finds it next to impossible to get enough flowers to fill his orders.

The crisis is past and things again are normal in the flower market. In- deed, the wholesale people are reporting conditions bordering on a glut. This is caused by the fact that warm weather has brought a flood of outdoor stock, which is still to be had, and indoor mums are now about at their height. Eoses, too, are coming in fine shape, so that al- together the supply this week is greater than the demand. This does not mean the demand has in any way abated, for it is just as heavy now as it has been for the last four weeks. In fact, there is a greater demand for funeral work, for CUDE BROS.CO. f-LORIST* r214r9T.NW WASHINGTON, D. C.

What the Epidemic Did. The one great thing we, in the trade, should learn from this epidemic is how quickly an unusual occurrence can right itself. Only a few weeks ago every one of us was thinking of war condi- tions in connection with business, when suddenly a condition confronted us that, in its death toll, was worse than the war.

This is not a matter of dollars and cents, but in these times, when there is so much talk of flowers being nonessential, every mem- ber of the lyade can realize how essen- tial is an offering of flowers to those who have lost a loved one. Never, after the scenes the florists have witnessed in the last four weeks, will any florist make an apology for the business in which he is engaged. If I may be permitted to say so, the florists' business was just as essential as the undertakers' in the minds of the public. Indeed, in- stances have come to the writer's notice of funerals that were postponed because the proper accompaniments could not be obtained and on account of the ruling of the Health Commission that there should be no public or church funerals. Many people, in the face of this ruling, were unwilling to lay their loved ones away SEATTLE, WASE Hoflywood Gardens Seattle's Leading Flower Shop 1534 SECOND AVE.

There is not a florist in our city but can tell how hard it was to refuse some customer an offering and of how tbey pleaded — it was not a case of cost, but inability to get the flowers. But it is now past, the florists' busi- ness has had its baptism of fire and I am proud to write that through it all I have not, in a single instance, heard of gouging by any florist. This is a rec- ord of which the trade can be justly proud. Various Notes. The regular meetings of the Garden- ers' and Florists' Club were scheduled for the second and fourth Mondays of November. The lecture which was to be given by Robert Pyle, of West Grove, Pa., October 28, will be heard at one of these meetings. I have inquired carefully and am glad to announce that at this time there is no serious illness among the members of the trade. To those who were unfor- tunate I feel that, in this public way, I can extend the sympathy of every one connected with the trade. Tate. Oneonta, N.

Seed Trade News AXEBIOAN SEED TKAOE ASSOCIATION. Preildent, F. W. Bolglano, WasbinKton. D. 0.; Mcretary-treaaurer, C. B. Kendel. Olereland, O. Reports have it that there are not many gladiolus bulbs in Holland this season. The death of John R. Johansen, of the Bernard Johansen Seed Co., San Fran- cisco, is recorded in this week's obituary column. Lester L. Morse, returning to San Francisco from an eastern trip, will cele- brate his forty-eighth birthday anniver- sary November 9. There seems to be enough Dutch hya- cinths, Paper Whites and Romans, with some to spare at the price, but no surplus of tulips, jonquils or daffodils. A LETTER from a Holland house to its representative here says spiraeas, peonies, Spanish iris, Gladiolus Colvillei, etc., went forward October 3, via England. No bulbs have been shipped since late August. The Holland bulb exporters are sign- ing up to sell only f. o. b. the shipping station in 1919. In other words, to stop sales f. 0. b. New York, on which many of them, if they filled the orders, have lost money this season. In spite of the fact that there has been a suspicion that tlie boat which was re- ported sunk with Dutch bulbs went down only in somebody's mind, advices from Holland continue to refer to such a boat with 4,000 cases as missing. Watson S. Woodruff, of S. D. Wood- ruff & Sons, Orange, Conn., was elected, November 5, as state senator from the Fourteenth Senatorial District of Con- necticut. Every town except one in the district gave him a majority, resulting in an unusually large total majority for the district. Andrew Ireland, for many years man- ager of the Marks Tey seed growing es- tablishment of Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh, Scotland, has started in business for himself and has been succeeded by Har- ry Wright, who has been Mr. Ireland's chief assistant and in the service of the firm for more than twenty years. All the parties mentioned are known to nu- merous American seedsmen. J. M. RiDGFORD, general manager of W^atkins & Simpson, Ltd., London, has noted that many American seedsmen or their relatives are now crossing the At- lantic in connection with the war, and it has occurred to him that it will tend to promote good feeling on both sides if the American seedsmen will call at the com- pany's offices, Drury-Lane, Covent Gar- den, whenever their route lies through London.

And where seed is sold as being "good" and "merchantable" there is no such warranty by the seller of its quality as survives the buyer's accept- ance and payment for the same after in- spection or opportunity for inspection. These two points of law were laid down the other day by the Texas Court of Civil Appeals in the case of Ferguson vs. Johnson, 205 Southwestern Reporter, 512, in which suit plaintiff was defeated on a claim for damages demanded on the ground tliat defendant had failed to deliver good, merchantable millet seed under a contract of sale.

The plaintiff com- plains of this instruction, on the ground that if his theory that the contract pro- vided for the sale and delivery of good, merchantable millet seed is correct, this would constitute an express warranty which would survive acceptance and a breach of which would support recovery, although the seed had been accepted after inspection or a reasonable oppor- tunity to inspect.

Wilson, of the J. J. Wilson. Seed Co., Inc., Newark, N. J., predicts a banner seed business for the season, especially if the government dis- tribution of seeds is abolished, in ac- cordance with rumor. "It does not re- quire a large stretch of imagination," observed Mr. Wilson, "to see that this custom is likely to be productive of a harvest of graft. On the other hand, if the sowers realize they are not to get something for nothing, they will place greater value upon their purchase, how- ever small it may be, and use more care in the sowing." Inquiries for and sales of bulbs are encouraging, though large returns are not looked for this season. Martin C. Bibsam, of Trenton, N. J., reports the usual success following the annual state fair, in which his seed ex- hibit was exceptionally attractive. Owing to the heavy call for funeral work, bulbs have had to stand aside. But, as normal conditions are looked for now, with a steady demand at slightly increased prices, it is hoped good busi- ness will be shown. Hirsch Bros., of Middle Village, N. Y., speak of the last season as one of the best on record for seeds, but poor for the sale of implements. Never before has the market gardener made fewer pur- chases in this line or had so many old things repaired. The crop of bugs cleaned up all stocks of insecticides. Alexander Forbes & Co., of Newark, N. J., will be among the first in issuing the annual seed catalogue. Stocks are well under way with this firm, and pros- pects bright. Mr. Forbes, Sr., has been kept at Some for some time, owing to sickness, but hopes to be around soon. George Cannon, manager of the Stam- ford Seed & Nursery Co. & Quality Shop, Stamford, Conn., is an active worker for the forthcoming local chrys- anthemum show, being of the opinion that to abandon such in the present state of things is most unwise. It prom- ises to be a success, in keeping with that of the seed business he has worked up in a comparatively short time. W. L. Hundesmark, Passaic, N. J., re- ports business as being away above the usual mark, owing mainly to funeral orders. It has been a good seed season, but there were no bulbs.

We have been familiar with and have watched this particular strain for a number of years. We have not only seen it growing with the originators, but tried it out in pot culture in our own houses. The flowers are of enormous size. Flowers with full, rounded, broad petals, 10 inches in diameter, are not unusual, and 5 to 6 flowers to a stem, freciuently two stems being pushed to the bulb. In color there are selfs and stripes, ranging from the purest white ground color with rose or red markings to rich orange- scarlet, cherry, crimson and maroon, and all with a satin-like luster which, in the deeper shades, shines as if burnished.

OHIO wfere at one time the principal white- bean-producing states, but now the west- ern states, principally California, are Jnore dependable, as the crops there are less subject to attacks of anthracnose. This year unfavorable weather damaged the white beans of the eastern states to such an extent that care was necessary in conserving stocks for planting in 1918, as seed grown in the west is not suitable for the north and east. It is estimated that over 1,000,000 acres were planted in white beans in 1917, requiring over 45,000,000 pounds of seed.

This bean is taking well on dry land in the western part of the great plains and its acreage has increased phe- nomenally in the last two years. The seed requirements now are about 6,000,- 000 pounds, but the supply of good seed is ample. The red kidney and tepary beans are grown in the southwest. Both are used as dried beans. The commercial area grown of the former was about 145,000^ acres in 1917, while that of the latter was less than 40,000. These acreages re* quire for their planting about 9,000,000- and 600,000 pounds of seed, respectively. 74 The Florists' Review KoTiMBWi 7, 1918. WHY DON'T YOU ORDER SOME Spen^f! Sweet Peas?

STUMPP S WALTER CO., 30-32 Barclay Straat, NEW YORK The white tepary bean is sometimes sub- stituted for the navy bean, which it re- sembles somewhat closely, but it is suit- ed only to the dry southwest. California devoted approximately 150,000 acres to the production of Lima beans for drying and the quantity of seed required for planting this acreage is nearly 12,000,000 pounds. Lima beans are extensively used as a green vege- table, but our seed requirements for this purpose are not known. It is of the so-called strictly garden varieties of beans that there is difficulty in producing an ample supply of seed. The exact requirements are not definite- ly known, but they are large, since al- most every garden in the country has a few rows of snap beans of one variety or another. The total area of the va- rieties planted for seed is probably less than 200,000 acres, scattered throughout the principal bean-growing states. Where the Sweet Corn Grows. While sweet corn is grown for seed somewhat generally throughout the en- tire corn belt, the bulk of our supply comes from Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Ohio. It requires a large quantity of seed for planting the acre- age for the canneries, as well as for home gardens, but data are not available as to the total number of bushels needed. Early frosts in the fall of 1917 and sub- sequent unfavorable weather injured the vitality of the seed and reduced the supply to a point so low as to cause concern, while only a small stock was carried over from the crop of 1916; therefore the total supply of seed for 1918 is far from abundant. Before the present war, Europe sup- plied us with much seed of the crucif- erous vegetables, including principally radish, turnip, cabbage and kale. Most of our foreign radish seed, and we im- ported heavily, came from Germany, France and England. Now we are even exporting small quantities to the last two countries. Most of our radish seed is grown in California and the seed growers there have expanded their acre- ages of this crop substantially. It was estimated that prior to 1914 we imported more than seventy-five per cent of the turnip seed we required. Tliis came chiefly from Denmark, Swe- den, Holland, Germany, France and Eng- land. Most of our domestic supply is produced in the Pacific northwest. On account of the large surplus stocks in the hands of the seed growers, seeds- men and jobbers when the war began and the slowness with which the Euro- pean supply became unavailable, we did not at first realize what it would mean to be dependent upon our own growers for turnip seed. The realization came early in 1917 and the advance in the wholesale price of seed was quicker and more pronounced than that of any other vegetable.

Peterson, Chicago, puts the general report in a few words : * ' We have as much business as we have help to handle," says he. Martin L. Davey, of the Davey Tree Expert Co., Kent, O., was elected to con- gress from the Fourteenth Ohio District November 5. He is a Democrat. There is enough stock in the nursery trade this season, and doubtless as much as will be required in spring, but the la- bor shortage will be apparent in next year's production. French nursery stock will come over in considerable quantities during the next few months and there appears to be fair prospect that Holland will resume export- ing in the near future. One of the difficulties encountered by British nurserymen is in procuring pack- ing material for the fall shipments. The use of straw, paper and burlap all re- quire government permits. HOLLAND OROWEBS OBOANIZE. To Meet New Conditions. With improved prospects for the im- portation of the usual autumn and spring shipments of nursery stock from Hol- laiid as the result of the changed mili- tary and submarine situation, the cir- cular to American buyers recently issued bj the Holland Plant Exporters' Asso- ciation will be of special interest: "According to information received from members of the Holland Plant Ex- porters' Association, you are buying Holland nursery stock from members of this association. I beg to inform you that the majority of the Holland grow- ers and exporters of nursery stock have formed an organization comprising in its membership growers and exporters in Aalsmeer, Boskoop, Dedemsvaart, Gouda, Naarden, Oudenbosch, Yeendam, etc. "The necessity for this organization is evident. Entirely new conditions pre- vail in all countries since the war. Con- sequently it will be impossible to extend credit for so long a period as was cus- tomary before the war. It will be out of the question also to sell at the old figures, as the cost of producing nursery stock has nearly doubled. "The Holland growers therefore have followed the example of the American Association of Nurserymen and have formed an organization to protect the interests of its members and with the SHADE TREES, SHRUBBERY, ETC.

It is also the desire of the members to assist their customers to reduce unfair competition on the part of slow and fault-finding buyers and to abolish the practice of sending goods from Holland to public auctions. Some steps in this direction had been taken already, but so far only the Hol- land nurserymen dealing in America had agreed not to send goods to auctions, whereas under this organization all auc- tions in all countries where a regular plant trade with Holland exists, are for- bidden.

There seems to be an especial shortage in most kinds of fruit trees. In ornamental stock we have never known such an extraor- dinarily, strong demand and at such high prices for field-grown rose bushes. In ornamental shrubbery and trees there is, for the most part, a good demand, and we think there will be a satisfactory clean-up by the time business is over next spring. Perennials also seem to be selling readily. We thought six weeks ago that we had a big oversupply of perennial phloxes, but since then we have sold all of what we would regard as surplus and have bought several thou- sands from other growers to eke out our supplies. Ampelopsis Veitchii and Clem- atis paniculata appear to be unusually scarce and in strong demand. Some Handicaps to Overcome. The business which we have booked up to the present time is a few thou- sand dollars behind what we had booked at the same period last year — and last year was the biggest year we ever had — but this is readily accounted for by the fact that on account of draft inroads in our office and sales organization we have not been able to keep our usual number of traveling representatives on the road. We are getting shaped up so 78 The Rorists' Review NOTIUBIB 7, 1918. fts to remedy this shortly, however, and we haven 't the slightest doubt that long before winter is far advanced our sales will be fully up to or ahead of last sea- son. Excepting the above-mentioned handi- cap of labor shortage and some little uncertainty in transportation conditions, w# can't see anything for nurserymen or florists to feel blue about, and we think there is something besides the times that must be wrong with any es- tablishment that is not doing a pretty satisfactory business. There never was fts much money in circulation or in such free circulation as there is at the present tims. LABOR ONLY DRAWBACK. "Since business began this fall we have had more than we were able to ac- complish with our short supply of labor," reports the W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y. "There was more than the average call for fruit trees and about the average demand for orna- mentals. If the war comes to an end this winter, we expect a heavy trade in ornamental stock the coming spring. Inquiries now coming in make us feel optimistic on the immediate outlook. Prices are holding firm on an advancing market: ' ' INDIAN APOUS. The Market. Business continues good. The enor- mous consumption of the last few weeks, however, is moderating. Funeral work still is the potent factor, although flow- ers in quantity are needed for the sick. Chrysanthemums are abundant now. They are of good quality also, in both spray and large types. As yet their presence in the market has not affected either the sale or price of carnations and roses. All Souls' day was not so important an occasion as in previous years, from the standpoint of the florists, as outdoor stock, such as cosmos, zinnias, dahlias, etc., were still available. The morning of November 2 these were laid low by the first heavy frost. Easter lilies have been limited in supply all the fall and, although callas are beginning to arrive, no increase is evident in the arrivals of the former. Violets have been much in evidence, but a week of warm weather has checked them. Greens continue scarce. Potted chrysanthemums have slackened, due to the popularity of cut mums. Ferns are good property, but extra fine ones are not plentifiil. Various Notes. The November meeting of the State Plorists' Association of Indiana was postponed from November 5 to Novem- ber 12 on account of the ban on public meetings. It is expected that the meet- ing will be well attended, as the rush will have subsided by that time. The Circle Flower Store did an un- Bsual business in mums November 2 for the football game of the University of Indiana vs. Camp Taylor. O. E. Steinkamp has been in Conners- ville for a short stay.

Conditions in the local cut flower market showed a substantial improve- ment last week over those of several weeks previously. Although the florists had a steady call for flowers, the un- precedented rush experienced the three previous weeks has been broken. Cut flowers are a trifle more plentiful, as chrysanthemums are increasing in sup- ply, and prices have slacked off corre- spondingly. Various Notes. The Mathewson' Flower Shop made a special run on yellow mums for Hal- loween. Charles Smith, of Washington street, was a business visitor in Boston last week. James Hay, of East Greenwich, has recovered from his recent illness with pneumonia, following an attach of in- fluenza. Louis D. Pierce was elected vice-com- modore of the Bhode Island Yacht Club at the annual meeting held last week. Wallace Steere, manager of the What Cheer Wire Co., and his wife have been confined to the house by a severe at- tack of the influenza. T. J. Johnston & Co., Ed. Brooke, manager, had an attractive Halloween window, with jack-o'-lanterns, etc., and autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. Joseph G. Leikens left last week for New York for the winter, after a good summer's business at Newport. William Conway, brother-in-law of Conrad Schultz, with whom he is as- sociated at Westerly, is critically ill with typhoid-pneumonia. Henry Miller, chief decorator for J. G. Leikens, Newport, has returned to New York for the winter. His wife and daughter, however, will spend the win- ter at Newport. W. H. M, Paterson, N. J. — A flower show staged by the Paterson Floricultural Society September 28 brought out many hand- some exhibits, which were viewed by large crowds. The proceeds were turned over to the Red Cross. First-class cer- tificates were awarded to George Peter- son and Cross Bros, for their fine col- lection of roses; to Bobbink & Atkins for a display of perennials of much merit; to William S. Cole for roses, and to William Thurston for decorative plants. Cents Each Special Offer HZ 7-in.

This is in reply to an inquiry from C. P. G., which appeared in The Review of October 24, page 78, under the head- ing of "Natural Gas as Fuel." 0. P. G. states that he is planning to use nat- ural ^as in his hot water boiler and that he wishes to know where he can get the best burner. I have a burner that does the work, but my supply of gas has been shut off and so I shall be willing to send this outfit to C. P. G. at the price of junk, if he wants it. I have used gas for twelve years to heat 5,000 square feet of glass. If C. P. G. cares to write again, I shall be pleased to explain the burner in detail. I might state now, however, that the burner was placed in the doorway of a Bumham 8-section boiler. The door itself was removed and sheet iron was cut to fit the open space. In the fire box, behind the burner, fire bricks were so arranged as to cause a second combus- tion of the gas. The lower part of the burner is made of 4-inch pipe, to which are attached four jets, each with a sep- arate key. Only two of the jets were used in moderate weather. After try- ing several kinds of burners, I have found this one to be the best. Yet the entire cost of making and installing it did not exceed $5. J. F. Sked. Westerville, O. GAS TO EQUAL COAI.. Please tell me through the Heating Department of The Review how many cubic feet of gas is equal to a ton of soft coal. C. A. D.— O. It is difficult to make a comparison between the fuel value of gas and soft coal, since there is considerable varia- tion in the heating value of the differ- ent classes of coal and the same also applies to gas. Also, we are not certain whether coal gas or natural gas is re- ferred to. The value of both coal and gas is ex- pressed in thermal units. In the case of soft coal it varies from about 14,000 British thermal units (or B. T. U.) for West Virginia coal, to 12,000 B. T. U. for Ohio coal. In a similar manner coal gas is rated at from 600 to 700 B. T. U. per thousand cubic feet. The number of thermal units in coal is based upon the amount of combustible matter it contains, and as a rule not more than 20,000 cubic feet of gas will be required to equal a ton of soft coal. SALT LAKE CITY. The Market. Flower market conditions never were BO acute in the history of this region.

KROESCHELL I50ILERS have satis- factorily and permanently solved the effective hurning of screenings. They will burn the worst grades of coal, even the dirtiest culm or sawdust and wood refuse.

The KROES- CHELL will increase your heating plant efficiency 20 to 40%. The KROESCHELL has proven its worth in many of the large establish- ments in this country. It has frequently been selected by the most care- ful buyers in competition with all other types of boilers. Its efficiency and capacity are completely beyond any other boiler.

As in other cities, the epi- demic of influenza is sweeping over this territory and taking an awful toll. There IS not only a shortage of cut flowers, but the supply of ferns and other greens from California is inadequate. The flo- rists have been looking everywhere for flowers of any description from private gardens, in order to meet the tremen- dous demand for funeral flowers. Gar- den chrysanthemums and dahlias are im- portant items in design work. The mountains surrounding this city are now capped with snow, and Jack Frost is destroying valuable garden flow- ers. As the chrysanthemum season in California has passed its prime and garden flowers have gone, flower market conditions will be more acute from now on.

Let us tell you about them. florists who received shipments this week are selling them out rapidly. The demand for high-grade tulips and named varieties of peonies is increased many fold this year, but hyacinths are not moving so rapidly as last year. Perhaps the reduced demand for hyacinth bulbs is due to the closing of all classes of schools temporarily. As soon as schools open the demand may increase. Various Notes. A rumor is current that by 1919 a large nursery that will devote full ca- pacity to the culture of indoor roses is to be established near this city. Ne- gotiations for the purchase of a 10-aere tract are now in progress, it is said. 0 ait BOILER FLUES % We make a specialty of handling carefully selected Boiler Flues, 4-in. diameter and other sizes, for green- house piping.Gutter Posts, etc. Also, we make a specialty of flues for retubine boilers.

Weather conditions during the last week favored the florists greatly. The demand for funeral flowers has been the heaviest on record. Dahlias have been exceptionally fine.

Prices arc now more normal and stock more plentiful. Various Notes. Carnations are backward tliis year.

Thirty-three varieties were grown, for the most part cut flower sorts, and, while the stems were not long, they sold readily by the thou- sand to the trade.

There is no longer the de- mand for flowers there has been for the last few weeks. With the temperature about 80 degrees for several days, there were more roses than could be handled, and with the decrease in demand and the increase in supply there was a slump in the market. It is safe to say that one-half of the roses that were cut were not sold and found their way to the dump. Chrysanthemums fared better. They were well taken, especially the medium sizes. The early varieties are mostly over and the mid-season vari- eties did not come in sufficient quantity to flood the market. Outside pompons could not be moved at any price. Only a change in the weather with a heavy frost will relieve the market of these. White and yellow Turner are the prin- cipal chrysanthemums on the market at present. There are also some good Major Bonnaffon, Marigold, pink and white Chieftain, Charles Eager and Snow Queen. Easter lilies are to be had again in quantity, but they find little sale. They seldom find much sale during the chrysanthemum season. Carnations also are more plentiful and have dropped in price. There are some good quality sweet peas to be had for so early in the season, mostly in white and light pink shades. The demand for these is limited. Variotis Notes. There was not much in the way of Halloween business this year, largely due to the ban not having been lifted in this city on account of the influenza epidemic. Neither did the stores make the usual Halloween displays. A number of the families and members of the craft were stricken with influ- enza. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported. Stanley Holland and family are ill with the disease. J. Harper Hetherington and wife are both recov- ering. Louis Bowdler is able to be about again. Several members of the family of George Lavelle were also stricken with the disease, but are now improving. The October meeting of the Florists' Club was called off on account of the ban on social gatherings and meetings. M.

B^FORK AFTER Niles Center, 111. — Ludwig Schmitt lias given up the growing of flowers and will hereafter grow vegetables for tlie market. Plttsfield, Mass. — An effective and at the same time inexpensive window dis- play celebrating the Fourth Liberty Loan was staged by F. I. Drake & Co., in which Liberty Loan posters and a handsome flag were featured with a gar- niture of autumn leaves. An electric fan was utilized to keep the flag in motion and colored lights thrown on the design added much to the effect, focusing atten- tion on the window, which the Jightless streets and darkened stores made the more conspicuous. It was conceded to be the best window display in the city in honor of the patriotic campaign. ijriAiii«*ii»' -ifiiiii I Tf ,)iiiji«i m i^ifew mif ^mhi tliiil mi -IS Mil .ill'. ,..iip-iii,».., >liii!vrj« ass Gi-ce.uliou^fe Manufacturing Co.

Darkness comes early. Before your work is finished you are compelled to stop because you can no longer see. The ordinary barn lantern gives out about thirty candle power; not much good to work by. The "Nite" Lantern gives out 400 candle power, burns gasoline and costs about l/4c per hour to run. Can be used very roughly without damage and will not blow out in a wind. It is a great thing to hang in your boiler or packing room, for it lights up the whole place, enabling all to do some extra work, and it spreads cheerfulness all around.

[This is the report of Secretary Charles W. Johnson, presented at the meeting of the Chrys- anthemum Society of America, New York city, November 6.] At the annual meeting held in Cleve- land, O., November 8, 1917, the invita- tion of the Pittsburgh Gardeners' and Florists' Club, the Sewickley Horticul- tural Society and the Western Pennsyl- vania Horticultural Society to hold the C. S. A. 1918 meeting and exhibition in conjunction with their 1918 flower show was accepted. After arranging for a number of special prizes for the exhi- bition, your secretary received a letter from the secretary of the Pittsburgh Gardeners' and Florists' Club stating that, owing to the unsettled conditions of the country, it was' thought best not Nov EM BUR 14, 1918. The Fk>rists' Rcvkw 17 to hold a flower show until the condi- tions became normal again. Then they would be pleased to again extend the G. S. A. an invitation to meet at Pitts- burgh. Your secretary took the matter up with President William W. Vert, who made arrangements with the American Institute for the 1918 meeting and exhi- bition. A second letter to the firms and individuals offering the special prizes brought a responsive sanction for all the prizes to be transferred to the pres- ent exhibition. Your secretary appre- ciates on behalf of the C. S. A. the kind- ness of those whose generosity makes the list of special prizes possible. Membership Campaign. As instructed at the last annual meet- ing, your secretary had 20,000 applica- tion-for-membership forms printed and sent to the leading chrysanthemum growers for insertion in their 1918 cata- logues. So far the gain in new mem- bers has scarcely paid for the outlay. The general outlook for the chrysan- themum is satisfactory. Not for many years has the demand for cut blooms been so heavy as this season. The pom- pons and single varieties are also being called for in larger quantities. The routine work of the secretary 's office, consisting of sending out state- ments to the members, recording the varieties disseminated, getting out the report of the sixteenth annual meeting and the solicitation of special premi- ums, was attended to in due season. Your secretary wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Elmer D. Smith in fur- nishing him with a complete list of va- rieties disseminated in 1917, which was a great help in getting up the annual report. The trade papers generously pub- lished all notices sent to them from time to time during the year, for which we owe to them a vote of thanks. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY, Work of the Committees.

Bolgiano & Co., Washington, D. C. For more than thirty years of his business life Mr. Earl was connected with Burpee, Phila- delphia. When he graduated from the Episcopal Academy in 1886, Mr. Earl se- cured a position with the Burpee organization as an office boy. Later he went into the printing room and worked his way through the different departments in Phila- delphia and the growing end at Fordhook until he became manager of the business, a position he held until about a year ago. Recently Mr. Earl left the Burpee or- ganization and has joined the Bolgiano forces, of which F. W. Bolgiano, president of the American Seed Trade Association, is the head. Mr. Earl has been a mem- ber of the executive committee of the American Seed Trade Association and a director of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League.

The annual- exhibition of the Chrys- anthemum Society of America was held in the Engineering building, West Thir- ty-ninth street. New York, in conjunc- tion with the eighty-seventh annual fair of the American Institute, November 6 to 8. War-time conditions of course were against an exhibition on the usual scale, many regular exhibitors being absent, especially in the private classes. The exhibits, however, though few in num- ber, in quality generally were most meritorious. There was little in the way of new varieties, nor was much ex- pected, but some of the varieties which have passed into the standard class were particularly well done, notably William Rigby in the class for yellows, some blooms of which were really re- markable; Mrs. Gilbert Drabble and Wm. Turner, among the whites; Mrs. K. C. Pulling and Meudon. Stagings in the classes for specimen bush plants were light; in fact, were scarcely no- ticeable. Commercial Competition NU. With the small amount of material available, the arrangement of the show was most creditable, the best possible advantage being taken of conditions. There were no exhibits from the retail trade and the artistic touch to the ex- hibition usually obtained through these was entirely missing. The groupings staged by C. H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J., were fine and comprised the or- namental features of the exhibition. The only exhibitors in the commercial classes were the C. H. Totty Co. and John Condon, of Brooklyn, who took the following awards: C. H. Totty Co. — First for twonty-four hlfMtms, long sterns, "one variety, with Louisa Pockett, ■white; first for twenty-four blooms, twenty-four varieties, 10-lnch stems. To John Condon— Second for twenty-four blooms, one variety. In the open-to-all classes, C. H. Totty Co. took first for a vase of single varie- ties, ten sprays pink, with Bertha Fairs; R. E. Jones, Elberon, N. J., first for six blooms, Japanese anemone variety, white. In the class for new varieties, includ- ing seedlings, sports and undistributed importations, C. H. Totty Co. took first for six blooms, any pink variety, and first for vase of anemone-flowered va- riety, with seedling No. 13. The same exhibitor was given special awards for a collection of anemone-flowered chrys- anthemums, for group of chrysanthe- mums, for collection of hardy chrysan- themums, for collection of single chrys- anthemums, for collection of pompon chrysanthemums, for display of hairy and plumed chrysanthemums, and for display of chrysanthemum blooms with short stems. The C. H. Totty Co. staged splendid exhibits of the new roses, Columbia and Premier, in the non-competitive classes, for which special awards were given. G. E, M. Stumpp, New York, was awarded a special prize f of a collection of palms. There were no commercial exhibits in the rose, carnation and violet sections. W. J. Sealey, Portchester, N. Y., was awarded first prize for a collection of pompon chrysanthemums, ten vases. The silver cup of the Chrysanthemum Society of America for the best seed- ling chrysanthemum not disseminated.

To avoid disappointment, anything to appear in of a certain date must be in the type-aetten' htuttUhy the preceding Tuesday. Why not Monday? six blooms of one variety on long stems, was won by the C. H. Totty Co. The A. N. Pierson Co., Cromwell, Conn., was awarded a special prize for five vases of pompon chrysanthemums. The judges were Eugene Dailledouze, Peter Duff, Alex. McKenzie, John Mc- Nichol and Wm. Turner. J. H. P. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY SHOW Smaller Than Heretofore. The annual exhibition of the Horti- cultural Society of New York was held in the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and Sev- enty-seventh street, New York, Novem- ber' 7 to 10. As was to have been expected, the exhibition was much smaller than any held in recent years. The beautiful foyer of the museum, usually crowded with the finest examples of cultural skill, was only partly taken up with ex- hibits, the immense specimen plants trained to form one has been accus- tomed to see being supplanted by a few subjects of a size dwarf in comparison. The main corridor of the west wing, and a small portion of the corridor of the north wing, were ample to accom- modate the rest of the exhibits. The number of exhibits was small. Consequently competition was not at all keen. The recent warm spell, no doubt, spoiled the prospects of many exhib- itors, in that much material grown for exhibition had passed before the open- ing of the show; and war conditions fig- ured considerably in the preparation of exhibits for this or any other show, most of the private establishments in the vicinity of New York being closed down on apcount of fuel restricfions. Among the exhibits, however, were many showing the high quality usually forthcoming and the exhibition was dis- appointing only to those who were in- clined to pass judgment without due regard for conditions which were and are just now insurmountable. The arrangement of the show was creditable, although without innovation. Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., exhibited palms and other plants in generous profusion, in a non-competitive way, and these were placed to advan- tage insofar as aiding in the general effect sought in arrangements. Trade Exhibits. The commercial exhibits, while not numerous, were good. C. H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J., car- ried off the first prize in the chrysan- themum classes for a collection of twen- ty-five blooms in twenty-five varieties; first for collection of singles, twenty-five varieties; first for new variety not in commerce, with a beautiful canary-col- ored with three rows of petals; first for vase of twenty blooms, stems not less than three feet, and first for collection of pompons in twenty-five varieties. The Totty Co. was the only member of the trade to make entries in these classes. John Scheepers & Co., New York, staged in the foyer a nice bed of winter- flowering begonias and, in the west cor- ridor, a fine collection of caladiums. They also received a certificate for ever- bearing raspberry, La Prance. W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., staged two splendid groups of foliage and decorative plants and obtained a silver medal for specimens of Four- croya Watsoni. In one of the stagings was a collection of decorative forms of Helxine Soleirolii, a small creeping herb, showing the adaptability of this plant for table purposes. In the same exhibit were many forms of tradescan- tia, the collection being awarded a sil- ver medal. The C. H. Totty Co. exhibited vases of the new roses, Columbia and Premier, which were greatly admired and which showed the commercial possibilities of I^dviUBift 14. 1918.

Conspic- uous in the group was a new cattleya, Enid, a cross between C. gigas and C. Mossise, the flower having a lip much larger and more spreading than the par- ent. They received a silver medal for a new epidendrum. Joseph A. Manda, West Orange, N. J., had a splendid exhibit of Cypripedium insigne. The sub-variety Sandeianum was awarded a gold medal. He also showed a new hybrid cypripedium, Ser- geant Manda, a cross between C. radio- sum Shorthillense and C. Fairrieanum, for which he was awarded a silver medal. Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., staged a fine group of orchids in the non-competitive class. Private Oardener Classes. Competition also was slight in the classes for non-commercial exhibitors. The gardeners who were represented were: Robert Marshall, gardener to J. R. De Lamar, Glen Cove, N. Y.; Max Schneider, gardener to Peter Hauck, Jr., East Orange, N. J.; Robert Jones, gardener to Percy Chubb, Glen Cove, N. Y.; Geo. Ferguson, gardener to Mrs. Payne Whitney, Manhasset, N. Y.; James Foster, gardener to Theodore R.

Smith, Stam- ford, Conn. The society's silver cup, valued at $100, was awarded to the group of trained chrysanthemum plants exhib- ited by Robert Marshall. J. H, P. GABDENEBS' CONFEBENCE. The New England gardeners' confer- ence, which was scheduled to be held in Boston, October 18, but was postponed owing to the influenza epidemic, will be held at Horticultural hall of that city under the auspices of the Boston mem- bers of the National Association of Gar- deners November 22. The meeting will be called to order at the early hour of <5:30 p. m., to permit of ample time for a full discussion of the subjects to be pre- sented. All affiliated with the profession of gardening are invited to attend the con- ference, which may be counted on to prove of more than passing interest at this time, involving, as it will, the dis- cussion of the many problems which will confront the gardening profession dur- ing the post-war period. M. C. Ebel, Sec 'y. JOHN COOK'S BIBTHDAY. John Cook, dean of the commercial flower growers of the country, becomes S5 years of age November 16. The an- niversary, as usual, will be celebrated quietly at his estate. Hillside, near Bal- timore, but it is safe to assume that Mr. Cook will be the recipient of many John Cook. messages of congratulation from his friends in the trade. While the active management of the Cook range, comprising some 60,000 feet of glass, is in the hands of Mr. Cook's sons, the founder of the place keeps busy about the houses, especially among the roses that have made for Mr. Cook the reputation of being one of the foremost producers of new varieties in the United States. Mr. Cook was born in Germany, but came to this country sixty-five years ago. Practically all of those years have been spent in Baltimore, first as a gar- dener on private estates and later as a commercial grower. During his career he has produced many roses which were popular, among them being Maryland, Radiance and P'ranois Scott Key, whi«k still are grown extensively for commer- cial purposes.

At the present time, under existing conditions, all branches of the trade are suffering and are not getting the re- turns they should from their business. The hardest hit of all is the grower, the backbone of the business, who has by far the greatest investment, the biggest fixed expense in depreciation and other- wise, and an extrenxely hazardous busi- ness. He is at present facing a serious situation and wondering whether it will be possible for him to surviye. How- ever, upon his welfare depends the further existence of the wholesaler and retailer. Reports show that many greenhouse establishments are now operating at a loss, and of these a considerable num- ber, finding it impossible to produce at a loss indefinitely, will close down all or part of their houses, to keep from losing more. This reduction in the sup- ply, with the present decrease in the output on account of the glass already abandoned, may cut.'a large figure in the future of our business, and it di- rectly affects the wholesaler and re- tailer. The Problem of Prices. To prevent further curtailment of pro- duction, it is necessary to get better average prices for the grower than those prevailing in past seasons. To this end the cooperation and assistance of all branches of the trade are needed. Bet- ter average prices will keep the grow- ers above watqr, increase the commis- sion and lessen the handling expense of the wholesaler, and insure the retailer a steady flow of stock. ~ It has been suggested that the only solution of the grower's problem is the establishment of a powerful growers' organization to handle the selling and establish a chain of stores for the direct disposal of flowers to the public at profit- able prices. This, however, may be un- necessary, as there is no reason why the established wholesale houses should not handle the stock at prices that will en- able the grower to make ends meet. To accomplish this, it is necessary, in the first place, for the wholesaler to know what profitable prices for flowers are, and secondly, to get them. Many wholesalers have no producing experi- ence and that of others is antiquated. Therefore it is necessary for the grower to supply him with an accurate record of the present-day cost of production per flower, from which he can determine the price he should get for the different varieties and grades from time to time to bring the season's average up to where it should be. SUMMARY Permit me to sammariie my views In the followtnc brief recommenda- tions: 1 — Growers, study the costs of pro- duction and brine them to the knowl- edge of the wholesalers. 2 — Wbolesalers. don't be bashful about asklns a price. Kemember that your season's returns per flower must average above the costs to enable the grower to live, and that the prices received during the months of heaviest production decide the aver- age more than do the seemingly high prices usually prevalent when cuts are low. 3 — Wholesalers, establish a mini- mum price of $1 per hundred on roses, 50 cents per hundred on carnations, and similarly on other staple articles. 4: — ^Wholesalers, always bear in mind, even though you may_lose a sale by asking a price from a cus- tomer who wants to buy for a song, that by maintaining uniform prices you may enable some other man to make a profitable sale, resulting in mutual t>eneflts. 5— Growers, consign your stock to the house through which it reaches the retf^ler most directly. 6— Wholesalers, charge one another full market price. Yon owe it to the growers. 7 — Growers, cooperate with and as- sist your wholesalers by a uniform system of grading and bunching, adopting sucli standard sizes as 12- inch, 15-incb. IS-inch, 24-inch, 30- inch, ,S6-incb and 48-inch for roses. 8 — Wholesalers, remember that each inch of stem costs money to produce, and utilize the full length whenever possible. 9 — The election of a representative advisory board of nine members, three to 1>e chosen from each branch of the trade, to meet twice weekly in the trade's interest. 10— The Issuance of two semi- weekly bulletins, one for the retailer and the other for the grower. 11 — Retailers to purchase, as far as possible, the items on the long side of the market in suflBcient quantity to prevent stock from reaching tne depariment stores, thereby reaping the l>eneflt for themselves. A paper read by Otto H. Amliiip. Reoretarv of tlK- AUiert F. Amling Co.. Maywood, 111., at a meeting of the Cliifago Florists' Club, November 7. 1918. I am convinced that a thorough knowl- edge of what it costs to produce each flower today will open the eyes of many men in the flower business, lead them to realize more fully that each flower has a value, and spur them on to get better average prices. An Appeal to the Wbolesaler. Profitable prices can be gotten by the wholesaler if asked. Many times it requires nothing more. It should be borne in mind that nature brings on by far the largest quantity of stock during the spring and summer months, and that the prevailing price in these months in a great measure decides the season 's averjige, price. Even though prices may 'teem high during some months, when production is low, these high prices are needed to make up for the low averages prevailing at other times. Uniform prices by all houses on equal stock, and the establishment and main- tenance of a minimum price on flowers, such as $1 per hundred on roses, 50 cents per hundred on carnations and similar figures on other staple articles, would also result in materially improv- ing weekly returns to the grower, as frequently just as much stock can be sold at these figures as could be moved if the prices were allowed to drop still further, thereby demoralizing the mar- ket. In Times of Oyersupply. It would be better, in time of abun- dance, to donate to the hospitals of the country the unsold surplus, if any, after prices have reached these extremely low levels, than to follow the practices of some wholesalers, who offer stock for sale at 50 cents per hundred when their competitors are asking an established ^ minimum of $1 per hundred. No greater quantity of stock is sold at the lower figures and the loss to the grower and wholesaler is tremendous. It matters little whether John Doe's stock is sold or that of Jim Smith, whether one whole- saler makes the sale or another. The main thing is that someone makes a profitable sale and not below the estab- lished minimum. If this is kept in the minds of all wholesalers, the wonderful mutual results will be reflected on the grower's statement. Another practice of the wholesaler which has frequently come within my own personal observation, and which does not work out to the grower's best interests, is the reconsignment of stock, and the neglect at times of one whole- saler to charge another the market price for goods bought, although the stock so purchased is often again billed out at top market prices. In fact, some wholesalers have few or no consignors, and openly boast of being able to buy stock from others at prices enabling them to resell at wholesale at figures yielding them as high as 100 per cent profit. Growers can curb this practice and get the full price at which stock is billed ta the retailer, less the usual fifteen per cent commission, by so distributing their stock that no one house will be over- loaded on certain stock and placing it as nearly direct to the buyer as possible. Uniform Grading of Stock. A uniform system of grading such stock as roses by all growers to a cer- tain length of stem — say 12-inch and under, 15-inch, 18-inch, 24-inch, SO-inch, 36-inch and 48-inch — tying them in bun- dles of fifty each and allowing one extra for breakage, would materially lessen the expense of handling the stock by the wholesaler, as stock frequently can be sold in these original bundles, thereby eliminating some of the breakage and bruises incidental to regrading. Open flowers, ready for immediate sale, should be kept separate. Arranging stock in bundles of a given length of stem would reduce the practice, common among some wholesalers' employees, of cutting stems unnecessarily short just because they think they ought to be so. Often have I witnessed this, much to my disgust. It costs money to grow every inch of stem on a rose and the full length of stem should be utilized whenever pos- sible, and stems reduced in length no more than necessary. A plan that has struck me as practical is the establishment of an advisory board consisting of three representative November 14, 1918.

Such meetings would help in a great measure toward bringing about closer cooperation. A Growers' Bulletin. Such a board, for instance, could is- sue bulletins after each meeting, a separate one to the retailers featuring the items that represent the best value at the time, owing to the quantity on hand. The prospects of the cut for the next few days, as gauged by the weather conditions and by information furnished by the growers, would also help them with their plans. Eetailers would thus be enabled, during times of overabun- dance, to get bargains if quantity pur- chases are made, and they should go out and make a splurge, giving the public part of the benefit of their large pur- chases and thereby moving a large quan- tity of stock, in much the same way as does the dry goods man in his line. The result would be new customers and a handsome profit, besides eliminating the competition of the department stores. In the Wholesaler's Hands. The growers' bulletin would contain timely advice, such as: "Cut stock tighter, due to the prevailing heat wave"; "Market overfilled on roses; pinch what stock you can to have it come later"; "Quite a lot of stock ar- riving infected with mildew; get after thrips," etc. The recipient of this bul- letin would stop to think whether any of his stock had been neglected in any way, and much could be accomplished in this way toward raising the quality of •flowers received on the market. Under prevailing conditions the individual wholesaler often hesitates to call a grower's attention to his neglect, fear- ing he may lose a consignor, even though such advice would mean many dollars in his pocket and still more to the •grower, besides more general satisfac- tion to the retailer. After all, the wholesaler, a.s the grow- er 's selling agent and the source of supply of the retailer, controls the situa- tion, and it is my honest belief that he can do more than any other at this time to furnish immediate relief to the grow- er, enabling him to continue his difficult task in these times of stress. By so doing the wholesaler would improve his own welfare, as \Yell as that of the re- tailer. My general idea of improving the present system and affording immediate relief for the grower might be termed ' ' cutting off the rough edges of present practices of the wholesaler," and would include closer cooperation with him by his retailer and the grower. It has been my aim, not solely to criticize, but to depict conditions as they exist, with a view to effect improvements which will insure the future prosperity of our busi- ness and result in mutual benefits. I would urge a discussion of these recom- mendations and the adoption of those that meet your approval. The Chart of Expenses. The prices received by the grower should be based, of course, upon a care- ful estimate of the cost of production. To illustrate this phase of my subject, I have prepared a chart which shows the relative amounts of the various items of expense in growing roses, under our system of culture. The cost of production has been ar- rived at by taking the total operating expenses for the year, including proper depreciation charges and six per cent interest on the total investment, and dividing this into the total number of square feet of bench space. Thereafter the cost per square foot is used as a basis for all other determinations. The cost of operation per square foot of bench space of an exclusive rose growing establishment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, was 67.6 cents per square foot, divided as follows: Per sq. ft. bench space WaKCs 24.44 cents Coal 11.32 cents Commission on sales 10.14 cents Depreciation on plant and equipment.. 4.73 cents Interest on investment 4.35 cents General expenses 3.88 cents Fertilizers 2.15 cents Boxes, wrapping and expressage. . . . 1.58 cents Water (power bills and otiier ex- penses) 1.40 cents Plants and seeds 1.26 cents Taxes (state) 1.13 cents Insecticides 79 cents Insurance .03 cents One rose grower's total cost 67.60 cents Becent Increases in Costs. The cost of operation during the cur- rent year will be much higher than the average prevailing during the last year. For instance, a lot of coal was bought in the fore part of the year at lower figures and with lower freight rates attached than are obtainable now. Labor, also, is considerably higher. The latter, as indicated by the chart, comes first in order of importance, with coal ranking next. These two represent a grower's heaviest expense items and any increases in these are reflected immediately on his balance sheet. Of course, the ad- vances of other items since last year also add to the grower's difficulties. Considering all advances and the ex- tremely hazardous nature of the busi- ness, with little or no insurance, due to the almost prohibitive rates, I feel certain that the gross returns ])er season, to meet present conditions and provide a profit commensurate with the chances taken, should be not less than 96.2 cents per square foot on roses and similar crops requiring the same high temperature, fertilizer, and amount of time to handle. These figures would be somewhat lower in the case of carnations and other cool-growing crops. The Betums per Plant. The cost of operating per square foot is the basic figure for all other deter- minations. Some varieties of roses, such as Russell and others, are sometimes set closer, but the average i)lanting dis- tance of most growers is 12x15 inches. Each plant thus occupies one and one- quarter square feet of bench space. The gross returns per plant on roses should be not less than $1.20 on varieties oc- cupying one and one-quarter square feet, and proportionately, according to dis- tance set. The average wholesale price for the year that must be obtained to reach this figure depends on the quantity of flowers a plant will produce on an average per season. Compilation of the average production of good, average flowers per jdant from records of the last three years shows as follows: Itussell 17.3 flowers Brilliant 32.4 flowers White Killarney 35.1 flowers Milady 25.4 flowers Ophelia 26.5 flowers Sunburst 26.4 flowers Taking $1.20, the lowest amount a plant should return in a season, and dividing it into the average yield of each variety for a number of years, gives us the average price that should prevail on each variety, namely: Necessary yearly average. Russell 6.26 cents each Brilliant 3.69 cents each White Killnrney 3.29 cents each Milady 4.67 cents each Ophelia 4.38 cents each Sunburst 4.52 cents each Necessary Variation in Prices. The selling price would necessarily be considerably higher for select stock and correspondingly lower for stock grading lower. Also the prices during the cold season, when the yield is limited and the operating costs are heaviest, should go above the year's average be- cause of the exceedingly low prices dur- ing the season of heaviest production. Although I have no late records on carnations, from experience and from, the best information obtainable I would venture to say that the gross returns on carnations should be not less than 81 cents per square foot of bench space. Figuring a carnation plant as occupying five-ninths of a square foot of bench space, and taking a general average yield on all varieties of eighteen flowers per plant, would bring the season 's price to 2\(i cents each. Selling prices of all other flowers and plants can be de- termined from the foregoing basis. 22 The Florists^ Review NOVIMBEB 14, 1918. OiGN LCrm^y^ READED0 VICTOEY WEEK. I have an idea. I offered it at our Florists' Club meeting November 5 and William F. Gude and all who were pres- ent seemed to think it was worth pass- ing along. I am writing it to you and others, because I believe the more peo- ple we can have interested in it, the better our purpose will be served, from both a patriotic and a financial stand- point. We feel now that we are on the edge of victory, the victory of right over might; the victory that has been hex- aided to the world from generation to generation. We cannot, then, be con- sidered previous when we make prepara- tions to celebrate this victory. My idea is that thousands and thousands of women, and men, too, would like to have some standard, outward expression of their feelings for the occasion. What better emblem of this than a victory bouquet? Can we not get together and put this over! Let the streets be fairly ablaze with ladies wearing victory bouquets for the first week after peace is de- clared. The make-up of such a bouquet would necessarily be varied. It was suggested at the club meeting that three flowers with a shirred or ruffled red, white and blue bunting, or wide ribbon, or such a bouquet tied with a rosette of red, white and blue ribbon, or a bouquet with a small American flag in it, be used for this purpose. Would it not be a wonderful thing during victory week for every city on the American continent to have ladies wearing about the streets such a bou- quet, whether simple or elaborate, ar- ranged with this patriotic effect? Cannot you get the florists in your city to get together and offer it to the public in the proper manner and spirit? Z. D. Blackistone, President, Florists' Club of Washington, D. C. THE RETAIIiEE'S POSITION. Under the caption, "One for the Grower," in The Eeview of November 7, S. Kahn has shown the point of view of the grower. I wish to reply for the retailer. I must say that Mr. Kahn has the wrong view of the retailer's posi- tion. He seems to believe that the grower has been the only dog under the table and I must answer that I know that ho has had plenty of retailers to keep him company. Since the war started, however, the retailer who was feeding on the bone has passed away, with many of his friends, the growers. In fact the retailer was the first to feel the pressure and Mr. Kahn has not far to go to find some of the larger retailers among those who have gone to the wall. During the recent epidemic, the grower who had anything to sell made a fat reap. So did the retailer. The re- tailer has no idea of dogging the grow* now, had not in the past, will not at anj^^ time. If the grower felt that he fared badly at times it was only a matter of competition. The retailer was no bet- ter off. When I bought carnations for $1.50 per hundred, my competitor did the same and the consequence was low prices and large designs. When stock is high we sell for high prices and make profits in proportion. I believe it would be fine if the grower would get closer to the retailer. He is a better friend of the grower's than the latter seems to think. He has hard times just as often and perhaps oftener than the grower. F. P. Adams. HOW TO BEAD A TBADE PAPER. A wise owl said: "There is too much good reading in the trade papers ■ to be taken in hastily. Take the trade paper home with you and read it while sitting in your easy chair. Spend one evening, after reading your daily paper, in thinking over yonr work with the help of 3^our trade paper." Too many florists, especially the busy retailers, receive their trade papers with other mail, give them one glance and that ends it. Now, instead of that, a wise owl said to me one day: "Don't look at your trade paper during your business hours. Take it home and give it more time than usual." Ever since that I have done so, and I think I have learned a lesson. I did take the trade paper home and I can state that, to my surprise, I have spent many a pleasant evening digging deeply into the resources of our trade papers, and many a dollar I have made by studying these papers and gaining more knowledge of my profession. In the ads as well as the write-ups of our trade papers, there will be found sug- gestions that will enable you to ring up sales a great deal oftener than you have any idea of. Since that time I have taken my tradeXpaper home, and feel much disappointed when the trade paper does not arrive promptly. Try it and convince yourself. Albert Poehelon.

Ohio florists hail with great satisfac- tion the latest order of the Fuel Ad- ministration, regarding it as virtually the removal of restrictions, as there is reported to be a substantial surplus of coal in the state. Fortunately, the ma- jority of growers planted their benches as usual and proceeded with the hope that some modification of the order of last April, restricting them to fifty per cent of their normal coal consumption, would be forthcoming before cold weather. To some, of course, the con- cession has come too late to be of much benefit, as they decided several months ago to let their places remain idle dur- ing the winter. A few were impelled by the dismal prospects of last spring to dismantle their greenhouses and leave the business entirely. But the princi- pal sources of supply are prepared to go through the winter months with slight diminution of their normal out- put. This is extremely providential, as the ending of the war will give business an impetus which would be of little benefit to florists handicapped by a fifty per cent decrease in production. The new order of things gives assurance of a supply sufficient to take care of even an augmented trade, especially after the trying experiences of the last month, which has served effectively to place a higher value ujion flowers and to in- scribe in bold letters the absolute neces- sity of eliminating waste. Ohio florists are indebted to their spirit of optimism and steadfast faith in tlie future for their extrication from an almost ruinous condition, for assur- edly the unduly pessimistic are the los- ers. Mac. THANKSGIVINO PUBLICITY. November 28 will be the greatest Thanksgiving day in history. The heart of every American will be athrill with genuine joy — and it will demand expression. What a splendid oppor- tunity for the florist to increase his business! Thus reasons the publicity committee of the Cleveland Florists' Club. As a result, the cooperative advertising for Thanksgiving day is to teem with such slogans as "Give your thanks," "Say your thanks" with flowers, and "Ex- press your appreciation and gratitude to the boys 'over there' by wearing a flower." As yet only the few are aware of the great value of flowers as expressive of sentiment; the object is to make the multitude thoroughly ac- quainted with it, particularly now that it is sharing so liberally in the general wealth. Billboard advertising is not be- ing employed this autumn. The entire campaign is in the hands of Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson, whose publicity work has heretofore been so effective with the public of Cleveland. Even in this enlightened community an occasional florist is met — it is an encounter if H. P. Knoble meets him! — who has decided to save money this winter by not expending the usual ad- vertising appropriation. He reasons that, as flowers are going to be scarce, it is not logical that money should be spent to increase the demand. He for- gets that the benefits accruing from all advertising are cumulative and that once a business man succeeds in placing his goods in public favor by the use of judicious publicity, it is nothing short of business suicide to discontinue it.

The events of the last few (lays have been somewhat disturbing to the flower market, the thoughts of the buying pub- lic being turned to everything but flow- ers Fortunately, arrivals have been rather light and have been moved with- out much difliculty, but prices suffered somewhat. Noven.ber 12 conditions were normal and there was an improve- ment, although the demand was on y moderate. Roses are shorter m supply and prices have stiffened. The best American Beauties have moved up to bU cents apiece and the other varieties have advanced a little in the longer grades. Carnations are stronger than they were last week, and the quality is better; H per hundred is obtained for top grades. Easter lilies are not in active demand. Although the finest bring $1.3 per hun- dred, much good stock is available at $12 and this is about the average top price The influenza epidemic has abated considerably, so with a greatly reduced death list lilies, largely used in funeral work, are working down to a normal demand. The supply of cattleyas is lessening, the cut of labiata being practicallv at an end, and Percivahana and Triank' not being yet ready to figure much in the market. There is, however, a good supply of cypripediums and phala'nopsis, and a few oncidiums. Gar- denias are making an appearance, but the flowers are rather small, few bring- ing more than $3 per dozen. Chrysanthemums are, of course, quite plentiful and prices remain about the same. There is an ample supply of the single and pompon types, and their movement at times is sluggish; white varieties are in greatest demand, and other colors move under price conces- sions, although vellow in many instances goes off only at a sacrifice. The cooler weather has been favorable to violets, and prices have advanced a little. Retail florists are hopeful that in a few davs a healtliy demand for flowers ■will be' in evidence, and with the ex- pected improvement in external condi- tions, business should soon become nor- mal. Growers now are concerning them- selves with the problem of benching stock which can be grown in cool houses, and the result may be that with less fuel restrictions, much will be produced to balance a shortage which has until now been considered threatening. Club Meeting. The monthly meeting of the New York Florists ' Club was held November 11 at the club's rooms in the Grand Opera House building. The wild re- joicings over the signing of the armi- stice ending the war was responsible for a smaller attendance than usual, but interest in the proceedings was moat marked. Besides the patriotic feeling which seemed to envelop everything discussed, and which was emphasized by the bursts of cheering that floated into the meeting room from the streets be- low, the club had two celebrations to go through which had not been heralded in the program for the evening. One was in the form of congratulations to Pat- rick O'Mara, who had just passed the fiftieth anniversary of his connection with the house of Peter Henderson & Co. Mr. O'Mara made feeling response to a cordial address by President Schenck on behalf of the club, speaking at some length of his work during his connection with the florists' and seedsmen's busi- ness. From planting onions in a market gardener's domain to a head position with one of the largest seed houses in America was an uphill course, and he sandwiched in an experience covering two years as day fireman on twenty-one Patrick O'Mara. boilers. It did not seem that he had missed much in his course to the top. After much applause, C. H. Totty pre- sented Mr. O'Mara, as a tribute from the club, a magnificent bunch of the new rose. Premier, which had been staged that evening for a judgment from the committee on awards. The other cele- bration was in the form of birthday congratulations to Philip F. Kessler, the efficient chairman of the house and en- tertainment committee, who, after own- ing to 45 years of existence, expressed his belief that he should give a peace- time birthday especial distinction, and therefore presented to the club a turkey lunch, which was discussed after ad- journment. Naturally, congratulations were most heartily extended. President Schenck, as chairman of the Florists and Allied Trades Committee, reported that the committee had dis- posed of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds to the value of nearly $400,000, greatly exceeding the subscription to the pre- vious loan, which waa placed when the florists were in a somewhat better con- dition than they found themselves to- day. Secretary Young read a personal letter received from Governor Strong, of the Federal Reserve bank, expressing his great satisfaction with the work of the committee, and such a testimonial of loyalty from the florists. Mr. Schenck gave particular credit to F. H. Lee, of Henry & Lee, who returned subscriptions for $65,000 worth of bonds; to the Lord & Burnham Co., which boosted the subscription list re- turned at the last meeting of the club by equaling practically every other sub- scription made, and to Robert E. Berry, a member now located in Virginia, who sent up $500, preferring to place his sub- scription with the club rather than his local committee, even to his personal disadvantage. P. W. Popp reported for the flower show committee that the question of liolding a spring flower show next year would be taken up and decided before the next club meeting. W. A, Manda reported for the nomi- nating committee its selection of candi- dates for offices in the club for 1919 as follows: For president, Charles Schenck, John Canning, Philip F. Kessler; for vice- president, P. W. Popp, Emil Schloss, Charles Knight; for secretary, John Young, John H. Pepper, J. G. Esler; for treasurer, W. C. Rickards, Jr., Thomas B. DeForest, Alfred T. Bunyard; for trus- tees, Patrick J. Smith, E. C. Vick, Wal- lace R. Pierson, Max Schling, Percy B. Rigby and A. T. De la Mare. Resolutions on the death of C. B. Weathered, Jr., son of C. B. Weathered; Louis Schmutz, Jr., and A. D. V. Snyder were presented and passed. The secre- tary reported the deaths recently of Ralph M. Ward and Walter R. Siebrecht, members, and of Mrs. Giessler, wife of Carl O. Giessler, New York; William Weber, son of Charles Weber, Lynbrook, N. Y., and a brother of Arthur G. Ves- celius, of Paterson, N. J., and commit- tees were appointed to prepare resolu- tions expressing sympathy with the be- reaved. C. H. Totty reported the result of the hearing before the Federal Horticultural Board in regard to the proposed restric- tion of plant importations, as reported recently in The Review. Arthur J. Radice was elected to mem- bership in the club, and Clarence Ankers, of Rockville Center, N. Y., was nominated for election at the next meet- ing. A communication from the United States Chamber of Commerce calling for the appointment of representatives from the florists' trade to form a section of the organization was read, and on mo- tion of F. H. Traendly the president was instructed to appoint a committee of two to report on the matter at the next meeting, and, if necessary, attend a preliminary meeting in Washington. The coal situation was informally dis- cussed, but it seemed to be the opinion of the meeting that conditions* in the near future would insure relief under existing restrictions. There was an interesting exhibition of flowers staged in the meeting room, and the committee on awards reported on the exhibits as follows: A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., collection of pompon and single chrys- anthemums, and of the exhibition va- riety, Barbara Davis, silver medal. November 14, 1918. The Florists^ Review 25 R. L.

Joseph A, Manda, of West Orange, N. J., was in Boston November 6, a guest of the Horticultural Club. Ac- cording to the Boston Transcript of November 6, Mr. Manda is credited with acquiring Cypripedium insigne Sanderianum in London. W. C. Cook, who recently embarked in business in Cleveland, O., is reported to be a patient in a hospital in Newark, N. J. He is remembered here as a former salesman for Vaughan 's Seed Store. There was a meeting of the directors of the American Dahlia Societv at the Grand hotel November 6, at which were present President Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., Secretary Lewis, of New York, James Duffy, George Still- man, Alfred H. Langjahr and George W. Kerr. The finances of the society were found to be in excellent shape. It was arranged that the next annual meeting and exhibition will be held in Syracuse, N. Y., at the New York state fair, and that sectional exhibitions be held in connection with the show of the Con- necticut Horticultural Society, in New Haven, and the show of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society, in Boston. Recent visitors were: F. C. W. Brown, of the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland, O.; Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass.; George Stillman, Westerly, R. I.; George W. Kerr, of W. Atlee Burpee Co., Philadel- phia, Pa.; Richard Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md., and R. L. Dunn, St. Cath- arines, Ont. Henry Duncan, of Guara, Cuba, farm engineer and horticulturist for the United Fruit Co., was among the vis- itors at the meeting of the New York Florists' Club November 11, Mr. Dun- can was an eyewitjiess of the sinking of the British man-of-war Audacious off the northern coast of Ireland, some time ago. Morton F. Plant, a prominent exhib- itor at the New York flower shows, died last week. His exhibits were greatly missed at the two shows just closed. The stores of many of the wholesalers on Twenty-eighth street were gayly dec- orated with iDunting November 11, in celebration of the signing of the armis- tice, ending the war. The day was ob- served as a holiday, unofficially declared, all business being suspended and the populace rejoicing in unrestrained en- thusiasm. In a fight last Thursday a man was shot for the reason, it was given, that he wore a yellow chrysanthemum above a miniature American flag. The gen- eral publicity given to the affair seemed to affect somewhat seriously the sale of yellow mums during the peace celebra- tion. J. H. P.

October was one of the most successful months in the history of the store. Not only was this true in the amount of business done, but old friends would drop in and say: "It certainly looks good to see you folks back in the game." This little greeting cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, but the good feeling brought so much business that it was impossible to fill more or- ders, although at one time the fourteen employees of the store worked night and day. We expect great things of the flower business, especially since we have secured the services of an expert grower of mums, orchids and roses to take charge of our greenhouses. W. H. Crouch. BIRMINGHAM'S BIG BUSINESS. No Shortage of Stock. Business with local florists through- out October was unusually good, it be- ing occasioned by the epidemic of in- fluenza, which struck this district hard. Practically every florist in Birming- ham was hard pushed to keep up with or- ders. The demand was heavy, not only in Birmingham proper, but in the out- lying districts for a radius of approxi- mately 100 miles. In this district there are many prosperous mining towns, which called for much floral work dur- ing the epidemic. Fortunately, there was an abundance of roses, dahlias and .mums from outdoors available, so that no serious shortage of flowers was notice- able. Greens, however, were scarce and such substitutes as cherry, laurel, arbor- vitae, etc., were used to a large extent. Since the epidemic abated business has settled down to nearly normal again, the demand still being for funeral work principally, there being only a few so- cial affairs and little prospect of much in this line in the immediate future. Outdoor flowers are still abundant, there having been no killing frost as yet. Chrysanthemums are fine and nearly all of the local growers have good stocks of both large flowers and pompons. Purely Personal. Miss Charlotte Black has recently re- decorated her flower shop and it now presents an attractive appearance. F. G. Kelly, the Ensley florist, has recovered from the " flu " and is back on the job again. Mr. Kelly is the only local florist, so far as is known by the writer, who had an attack. Through the capable and energetic work of Mrs. Kelly his business did not suffer dur- ing his enforced absence. We might add that the stork visited the writer's home November 3 and left a fine 10-pound boy, who has been named for his "dad," Oliver Weston Fraser. This is the first boy and naturally we are proud of him. O. W. Fraser. TAMPA, FLA. The Market. Business has been excellent during the last month, the epidemic of influenza creating a large amount of funeral work. Locally grown flowers are, at this time of the year, scarce and it was next to impossible to secure enough stock to fill orders. There are now a few gladioli, roses and dahlias in the market, most of which are shipped from the north. Re- tail prices are as follows: White Kil- larney roses, $3 to $5 per dozen; Russells, $4 to $7.50 per dozen and the larger northern stock $8; fancy carnations, sf^ per dozen. Various Notes. During the rush the Knull Floral Co. had all the work its staff could do, and had to turn down many orders through lack of stock, time and extra help. For- tunately, none of its force had the in- fluenza, only bad colds, but all were worn out from the long, strenuous rush and the constant hurry. This is the only concern in Tampa that ships stock regularly throughout the year. The Knull company's new catalogue is now on the press and will be distributed soon. It will contain thirty illustra- tions. Arthur Dervas reports that a few mums will be ready soon, but on account of being flooded with salt water by the high tide during the recent storm the crop will be short. Anton Fiske, proprietor of the Tampa Floral Co., reports that his concern has been busy with funeral work. The florists' trade of Tampa is look- ing forward to an excellent season, as it is expected the number of tourists will be large. Knull Floral Co. HOUSTON, TEX. Business Breaks Record. With the passing of October, there is little doubt that it was the largest month's business with all the florists of the city that has ever been experienced in the history of Houston. We had a continuous run of funerals from October 3 until the end of the month. Flow- ers were scarce. The epidemic took off some of our best known men and con- sequently there was a heavy run of funeral work. It should certainly put the florists in a good condition to start off the winter's work. Mums are coming in quantities. There 24 The Florists^ Review N(nEMiti;u 14, 191S. roiirt :il Kausiis Cily, has issued ;i iii.ti.-.' to tlic ncilitors of S.

With the passirrg of October, there i- little doubt that it was the largest month's business with .all the florists of the city that has ever beeir experienced irr the history of Houston. W(> ha.l a continuous run of funerals frotrr October .*{ until the end of the nronth. Flow ers were scarce. The ejiidenric took off some of our best known nren and eon setprently there w.as a heavy ruir of funeral work. It shoirld certainly put the florists in a goo hundred de- livered. Some splendid Bonnaffon mums are now being cut. Abraham Glick, salesman for Mc- Alpine Bros., at the Flower Exchange, left for Camp Lee, Va., November 10. Recent visitors included George E. Baldwin, Mamaroneek, N. Y., and Joseph Manda, West Orange, N. J. The National Association of Garden- ers will hold a local conference at Hor- ticultural hall, Boston, November 22. Several prominent speakers from a dis- tance will be present. H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is cutting some excellent flowers of Chieftain and Rager mums. Mr. Vose always does these varieties particularly well. November has proved unusually mild. Many tender plants were still flowering in the open, November 12, while a num- ber of hardy perennials were blooming. Hybrid tea roses continue to bloom pro- fusely. William H. Elliott is getting a fine lot of roses from his Madbury, N. H., range. Ophelia is the best of all, but Miller is fine. Among pot mums Chal- fonte, Mrs. Frank Beu, the Caprices and some excellent singles are notable. Do not forget the club meeting No- vember 19. Nominations of officers for 1919 will take place and there will be an exhibition of late mums and vege- tables. Letters received from William G. Iliffe, son of Daniel Iliffe, show him to be at the American Aviation base at Queenstown, Ireland. He reports the Americans as making big aeroplane preparations and is charmed with the horticulture of Ireland as seen on some of the large estates. At Philip L. Carbone's, on Boylston street, fall trade has been exceptionally good not only in plants and cut flowers, but in the many accessories which this enterprising firm carries in quantity. C. B. Johnson, of Woburn, whose chief specialty is high-grade carnations, is cutting an average of 100 dozen fine Bonnaffon mums daily, which M. Lieb- man has no trouble in selling quickly. W. N. C. CLEVELAND. The Market. The market has been cleaning up nicely, although the big rush of funeral work of the last month has quieted down. Carnations are arriving in larger supply and bringing good prices for all grades. Roses are clearing well, with a good demand for all grades. Pompons and chrysanthemums also clear daily. Violets are coming in good condition and meet a good demand for both single and double varieties. Various Notes. When Cleveland was awakened the morning of November 11 by shrill whis- tles and clanging bells which announced the signing of the armistice, business throughout the city was at a standstill. Such work as had to be sent out was taken care of and then all joined the crowds in one of the biggest and noisiest celebrations the city ever has known. Charles Bastian, formerly with the Cleveland Florists' Exchange, has taken a position with the Cleveland Plant & Flower Co. The influenza ban has been lifted in Cleveland and the flower shops all have gone back to their regular hours again. Harry Dow is gradually getting back into the traces, after the accident which resulted in an injury to his knee. W. F. B. Anonymous inquiries still come to The Review. If an answer is to be expected, each inquiry must bear the full name and address of the sender, though these never are published. NOVEMBIB 14, 1918. The Florists^ Review 27 Charles R. Miller. Charles E. Miller, for more than twenty years a salesman for Walter F. Sheridan, New York city, died suddenly at his home in Flushing, L. I., Novem- ber 9. Mr. Miller was at the store the day before his death. On reaching home he was stricken with pneumonia and died within twenty-four hours. He was 50 years of age. Mr. Miller was generally known among the. trade as "Tommy" and had a host of friends. The funeral was largely attended by members of the trade and the floral of- ferings were numerous. J. H. P. Benjamin Connell. Benjamin Connell, a widely known and popular florist and nurseryman, of Merchantville, N. J., died at his home in that place November 9. He leaves his wife. Du Brutz English. Du Brutz English, of Mount Olive, N. C, died November 4 from an attack of influenza followed by pneumonia. Mr. English was sick only ten days. Mr. English was well known to many in the seed trade of the United States, in that he was one of the largest growers of vegetables for market, having hundreds of acres under cultivation. He also was one of the largest shippers of holly to those who handle this commodity. His death is regretted by a wide circle of friends in the trade. Louis E. Schmutz, Jr. Louis E. Schmutz, Jr., whose death at his home in Flatbush, N. Y., October 8, was briefly noted in The Review for October 17, was born in Brooklyn in 1874. Mr. Schmutz 's father, Louis E. Schmutz, Sr., was in the florists' busi- ness at Flatbush and practically all the son's life was spent growing flowers, he having helped his parent build up the large greenhouse range that was de- voted to the growing of potted plants. For a short time Mr. Schmutz worked for Siebrecht & Son, at their establish- ment at New Eochelle. Mr. Schmutz was taken ill with Bright 's disease nearly a year before his death. He bore his suffering pa- tiently and never lost his jovial nature and friendliness, which made him popu- lar with the trade both in Brooklyn and New York. He left his wife, Mrs. Mar- tha Peltz Schmutz; two daughters, f^loise, aged 18 years, and Martha, aged 12; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Emil Schmutz, and four brothers, Frederick, Alfred, Gustave and Harry Schmutz. The funeral services were held Octo- ber 11 from the home and were attended ^y a great number of friends from among the trade. The flowers were ex- ceptionally numerous and beautiful. The burial was the following day in Evergreen cemetery, Flatbush. Dominic Figone. Dominic Figone, at one time promi- nently identified with the florists' busi- ness in San Francisco, died November 3 at the age of 54 years. He was a native of Italy, but had spent most of his life in the Golden Gate city. For many years he conducted a florists' establish- ment. At the time of the great fire in 1906 his establishment on Sutter street, near Stockton, was burned out. Later he started up again, but soon discon- tinued and engaged in another line of business. He is survived by his widow, Theresa Figone, and his son, Antone. Funeral services were held November 6. Among the friends and relatives attend- ing were a number of florists. M. M. Emil Ferrari. Emil Ferrari, of Ferrari Bros., whose greenhouses and nurswry at 202 Univer- sity street, San Francisco, constitute one of the largest establishments of the kind on the Pacific coast, died November 5, following a short illness. He was a na- tive of Italy and came to California in 1881. He started in business with his brother, Peter, and they gradually added to their holdings, becoming widely recognized as expert growers of roses, orchids, gardenias and other flowers. Peter Ferrari was ill at the time of his brother 's death, but is considered on the road to recovery. M. M. Milton Morris. The death of Milton Morris, son of O. M. Morris, of the Morris & Snow Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal., came as a sad blow to the family this week and the sympathy of all in the trade and many other friends goes out to them in their bereavement. While he had not been strong for a long time, his death, which was due to an internal abscess, was not expected. H. R. R. PROVIDENCE. The Market. Business for the last week has been more nearly normal, both as to volume and prices, than for two months. There is still an active demand for funeral work, but nothing in comparison with the call that has existed since the mid- dle of September, because of the in- fluenza epidemic. There have been a few weddings and social functions dur- ing the week and, although the social program has not yet opened formally, its influence already has made itself felt. Chrysanthemums ^re coming into their own and command better prices, which probably will hold up well, as there is not so large a local cut as in previous years. They wholesale from $6 to $20 per hundred and clean up daily. Roses are good in quality and plentiful at 4 to 12 cents and carnations show general improvement and bring 2 to 5 cents. Various Notes. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander H. Johnson has been honorably discharged by the War Department. He was in service with the Coast Artillery in the Narragansett bay district. He is a member of the firm of George Johnson & Son, of the Elmwood avenue green- houses and nurseries. For several years previous to entering the service, he was city forester. He will resume the duties of the latter oflSce in a few days. Peter Byrnes had the church decora- tions of palms and pink chrysanthe- mums for the Baker-Schneider wedding at Wickford November 5. Edward Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & Co., has been sick, but is now conva- lescing. Arthur Macrae has been at home on sick leave. A. J. Vose, of Woonsocket, has de- cided not to start up his greenhouses this winter. W. A. Bowers, of Washington street, has purchased a new Buick delivery automobile. Edward O'Brien is now in the employ of Miss Nellie O'Connor, of Thayer street. Fred Hoffman has just completed the changing of the heating equipment in his greenhouses at Pawtucket to oil burners. Vincent J. Baraducci, of Atwells ave- niie, has added a new auto truck to his delivery department. Willett P. Carpenter, of the Union Depot flower stand, and his wife have returned from a summer trip to Winni- peg. O. H. Williams, of Plainfield street, is preparing to go to Florida for the winter. Lawrence Hay was reelected a mem- ber of the East Providence school com- mittee for two Years November 5. W. H. M. giMioiiu*iiymmM^iy^}ymmj^i!^m^i^ MOTT~LY MUSINGS Smith's Flower Shop, at Orange N. J., is attractive in white, artistically dec- orated and well supplied with choice stock from its own greenhouses, and reports good business. • • • * "We were never better equip]icd for the winter season," observed George Burgevin, of Valentin Burgevin, Inc., Kingston, N. Y., "and from the present condition of things we look for our usual liberal share of business." Fine stock, well grown and attractively displayed, is bound to bring results. It is worthy of note that Landscape Architect Julius Burgevin is converting the famous "broad walk" on the mall in Central park, Manhattan, into what is described as a "veritable floral paradise." He possibly obtained the idea from the park-like surroundings at the Burgevin establishment. • • • • The Rosendale Flower Shop, Schenec- tady, N. Y., has a good trade in potted chrysanthemums, which, being plentiful and reasonable as compared with carna- tions at $2 and roses at $3.50 per dozen, find a ready sale at this time. Medium- sized blooms of mums are preferred this season. Proprietor Englehardt has been ill for some time. It is hoped he may soon recover and relieve his good wife, who has charge. * * • • John C. Thatcher's flower shops, both at Schenectady and Amsterdam, N. Y., have had a heavy run of funeral work. The Thatcher greenhouses, at Hoffmans, N. Y., were taxed to the utmost and re- sponded nobly.

You get them. We both have them. Don 't get the idea that the end of the war will cause an immediate return to the good old times. The general opinion is that the first effect of peace on the flower bu.siness will be to insure a record-breaking Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas trade. At the recent meeting of the executive committee of the American Rose Society resolutions were adopted expressing the keen sense of loss in the passing of Ad- miral Ward. At the exhibition of the Rhode Island Horticultural Society and Providence Market Gardeners' Association, to be held this week, all premiums are to be paid in Thrift stamps. The trade certainly has reason for con- gratulation that it has emerged from the period of the war in such strong condi- tion. Such losses as the trade as a whole has sustained will tte quickly recovered. An immediate turn in the trend of com- modity prices is expected with the return of peace. A turn in the labor market at certain points was reported as much as a fortnight ago, because of the discontinu- ance of special lines of war work. It is reported that last week, when the approach of peace was seen, traveling salesmen for coal companies, men who have not been out of their oflSces since early last spring, took to the road in full force. It shows clearly what the coal trade expects. The state fuel administrators, one by one, are canceling the orders for light- less nights. There is an abundance of bituminous coal, especially the steam- making grades. As one of the signs of changed condi- tions. The Review's increase in subscrip- tion receipts in October, as compared to the same month of the preceding year, was the largest so far noted. cost of advertising you may be pretty certain that he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. THE WAJl ENDS. For the benefit of any readers who depend solely on this medium of intelli- gence and who may not have caught the meaning of the sounds which made No- vember 7 and November 11 different from other days, let it here be recorded that the great war has ended. The country has had two days of un- restrained jubilation over the great vic- tory— the winning of the war. Now it is time to consider the future. It is the consensus that the return to l)rewar conditions will begin at once, but that it will be gradual, with the probability that it will be several years before general business in the United States gets back to where it was in 1913, if, indeed, that status ever is reached. The best judgment seems to be that the top prices of most commodities have been passed, but that the decline in prices will not be rapid, due to the con- tinued large demand for food which will keep the cost of labor relatively high in spite of an increasing supply as work- ers are released from war tasks. If there is to be a period of depression fol- lowing the war, it will not come at once and every effort evidently will be made to enlist government agencies to re- strain the downward swing of the pen- dulum. In the florists' business the first effect of the return of peace probably will be felt through the resumption of social ac- tivities calling for the use of flowers. It is thought the Thanksgiving and Christmas demands will exceed all records and that a splendid season's business is assured. The wealthy will resume their usual scale of living and the workers have acquired an apprecia- tion of flowers which will be of lasting benefit to the trade and to the nation. QUICK WOEK. A market that has snap to it, a steady demand, with firm prices, these are the reports coming in from the trade from every quarter. There is call for every item of stock that the grower can sup- ply, if one is to judge from the response to offers made through the Classified ad columns of The Review. Stock is said to be short of requirements everywhere and progressive growers are disposing of their plants "in double quick time," as one of them puts it: That little gpranium ad took all our cuttings in double quick time. I have booked orders up to December 1. It pays to advertise in The Re- view.— Quaker Hill Greenhouses, Sebring, O., November 2, 1918. Please take out the cineraria ad in the claHsi- fled section. This was the quickest sale we ever had.— Furst Floral Co., Dayton, O., November 4. 1918. Please take out my ad In The Review of Wur- tembergia pelargoniums, as I am out of stock. Am enclosing check to cover another ad and subscription to The Review. One cannot get along without The Review, especially in these uncertain times. — R. B. Hayes, Shelby, 0., No- vember 2, 1918. Cut out our rose ad, also the 5-lnch and 6-inch ad of Jerusalem cherries. The Review surely does get the business. — C. W. Kspy Sl Son, Brook- ville, Pa., NoTember 4, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the WORKERS NOT SAVING. "The prospects of saving and econ- omy on the part of the public at large do not appear as encouraging as is to be wished," says the Bulletin of the Federal Reserve Bank. "While there have been enforced economies, due to the absence of certain classes of goods from the markets, and while it is ex- pected that the operations of the War Industries Board and its system of ra- tioning will compel a further extension of this involuntary economy, it would appear that many classes of the popula- tion are still spending their current in- comes as freely as ever (notwithstand- ing the fact that prices are today at record figures), because they have not yet embraced the national duty to save as a personal obligation." CONTINUING U. S. CONTROL. One of the questions that have been raised at Washington and in other parts of the country since the beginning of the collapse of the Central Empires and growing prospects of an early peace is that of the need of extending the life of the war boards for at least six months or a year after the cessation of hostili- ties. Indications now point to the mak- ing of such a request of Congress within the near future, especially so in the case of the War Industries Board. Although the transition of American industry from the individual peace basis to that of strict war manufacture was accomplished under government direc- tion and supervision with only negli- gible disturbance, fears are entertained in many quarters that the sudden with- drawal of industrial war restrictions might have serious results. Regardless of divergent views as to what the near future holds for the coun- try, it is agreed that the reversion of industry from a war basis to that of peace should be made under the same direction which previously changed the status to war machinery. This gradual reversion of industry back to its nor- mal status, it is pointed out, does not necessarily mean the maintenance of government industrial control as long as possible. On the contrary, it is agreed that the reversion should be made as speedily as possible, but under govern- ment direction, to prevent the industrial disturbance which might occur if such a step were trusted to the natural laws. CHICAGO. The Market. The excitements of the last week have been almost too much for the market. For the first time in months stock ac- cumulated at the end of last week, per-" haps as the result of the virtual sus- pension of business the day of the pre- mature report of the signing, of the armistice. The market cleaned up fairly well November 9, but November 11, when the great war actually ended, city business came almost to a standstill. Shipping on that day was badly inter- rupted, owing to the cutting off of wagon service by the express companies a little before noon, both for incoming and outgoing shipments, it being im- possible to maintain service through NOVEMBBR 14, 1918.

The market is in a hig[hly satisfactory condition at present, owing to the great crop of chrysanthemums which have been forced into bloom by the sun- shiny, warm weather of the last few days. The big run on funeral work continued throughout last week. A large number of new cases of influenza having developed, the Board of Health decided to keep the lid on public meet- ings for an indefinite period. Some extremely fine chrysanthemums are being offered, including Golden Wedding, Chrysolora, Odessa, Chieftain, Dr. Enguehard and Major Bonnaffon. Pompons are arriving in numberless varieties and they sell on sight. The rose supply is amply sufficient to meet all demands and prices have dropped. There is a good crop of fine carnations. Single violets and sweet peas are com- ing in larger quantities and there are some exceedingly fine orchids, princi- pally cattleyas, which bring $1 and $1.25 each. Club Meeting.

All last week the market was in splen- did condition. There was plenty of stock and the demand was large. The quality of the flowers coming in is ex- cellent and all the fancy stock ia quick- ly disposed of at good prices. Shipping business also has been large with all the wholesale houses. Chrysanthemums in all varieties have the call and are of excellent quality. The leading varie- ties in the market are Major Bonnaffon, Eaton, Colonel Appleton, Golden Wed- ding, Dr. Enguehard, Charles Rager, Chrysolora and Seidewitz. All of them sell well. Carnations are showing im- provement in quality, but the consign- ments received are not heavy. Fancy stock is up to $6 per hundred, while the common flowers bring $4 per hundred. These prices are unusual at this time of the year. Roses are of exceptionally good quality and meet a good demand. The leaders are Columbia, Russell and the Ophelias. There are plenty of them. Violets are better each week in color and stems and they clean up at fairly good prices. Local growers say the supply will not be heavy this season. Extra good valley is selling well at $6 per hundred. While Easter lilies and orchids are scarce, there is an extra good demand for them. All greens cleaned up last week. The demand for smilax, asparagus and gal ax was heavy and the supply is large. Various Notes. The regular meetings of the St. Louis County Growers' Association and the Lady Florists' Club were not held last week, because of the ban on such gath- erings on account of the influenza epi- demic.

A large advertisement featuring the S. A. F. slogan, "Say It with Flowers," and the chrysanthemum will be inserted in the newspapers to stimulate Thanksgiving sales. No names are signed to the advertisement, which urges the readers to "see your nearest florist." The advertisement is attrac- tive and will undoubtedly create consid- erable business for the holiday.

The Market. George Aeugle 's terse comment on the situation, "Chrysanthemums are selling and nothing else," gives a pretty clear idea of conditions for election week. Perhaps it is a bit strong to say that nothing else is selling, but it really is true. The other flowers drag. They must be pushed. They do not bring good average prices. Chrysanthemums have been good stock. They moved steadily at good figures throughout the week. They are prob- ably in the height of their season now, with perhaps one more week of plenty. Then the chrysanthemum will begin to decline. The supply for Thanksgiving will depend on the weather, with one fact to be considered, however, that they are a week ahead of their usual blooming season so far. It is asserted that over three-quar- ters of the business for the current week is for departures and for the sick. This is offered as an explanation of the fact that pink and white pompons have been in demand, while yellow and bronze have not, the bright colors being used chiefly for table decorations and for home adornment. The daintiest flower in the market is Bouvardia Humboldtii. It is an exqui- site bloom, with grace, fragrance and purity charmingly combined. While valley still can be obtained, its use is steadily declining. White sweet peas, Swainsona galegifolia alba, white orchids and occasionally Bouvardia Hum- boldtii are being used as substitutes.

The group of flowers classed as miscel- laneous that usually make their appear- ance at this season have not come. Whether this is due to the fuel restric- tions or to lateness is not certain.

It should, therefore, be in an American port before this para- graph appears in print and, if wand and tide favor, the bulbs should now be on their way to their respective destina- tions. The Greenhouse Situation. The lifting of the coal embargo Octo- ber 26, when the Fuel Administration withdrew its order of April 24 limiting greenhouses to fifty per cent of their normal supply of fuel for the current year, comes too late to affect materially the winter's supply of cut flowers and plants. However, it will greatly in- CHRYSANTHEMUMS CARNATIONS - ROSES - POMPONS and all seasonable flowers. Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. 1517 Sansom Street, Philadelphia We close at 5 p. m.

While florists have cheerfully gone without half their coal to help win the war, it seems unfortunate that the sacrifice should have been necessary. It is, how- ever, perfectly possible that for many of us this sacrifice may prove a good thing. For no one will dispute that one greenhouse well run is much more profit- able than two greenhouses poorly run, and labor is scarce. In fact, with most of us, labor has been a far more serious problem than coal. The street believes that the rose growers and some of the plant growers will operate their entire places this winter and that the carna- tion growers and some of the plant growers and the general florists will op-, erate part of their places during the winter and start the rest up in the spring, when they can work up stock, provided the necessary help is ob- tainable.

With the possibilities of a shortage in good Christmas blooming and bright- colored foliage plants, it is interesting to know what the wide-awakes are do- ing to meet the emergency. So Eobert A. Craig, who so ably manages the af- fairs of the Robert Craig Co., was seen and interviewed. "I am urging preparedness," Mr. Craig said. "Some of our out-of-town customers already have bought their Christmas plants. They have asked us to ship them early. They have arranged with their local florist, who has some spare room, to care for these plants until Christmas. This will insure their having fine plants and having them when they want them. I have men- tioned this plan to several florists, who thought so well of it that they are adopting it." Various Notes.

The annual chrysanthemum show of the Germantown Horticultural Society was held in the Library building of Vernon park in the afternoon and eve- ning of November 11. There was a good attendance and display. George B. Kaiser was the speaker of the occasion. Emil H. Geschick's showhouse is a magnificent sight, with its wealth of well grown chrysanthemums. Edward Eeid is handling a large amount of business that calls for choice material. A. M.

Mr. Hastings takes proper pride in his window display, Leo Niessen comments on the increas- ing usefulness of the parcel post to florists. Raymond Brunswick, secretary and treasurer of the M.

This week t'hejnarket is normal in the better grades of stock. There is still a good deal of inferior outdoor stock on the market. Especially is this true of low-grade chrysanthemums. Cosmos is still to be had, but it will soon be over. There aire still plenty of good mums and roses are in good crop. The demand for funeral work has fallen off, owing to November 14, 1918.

W. Smith Co , Pittsburch. ^E essential feature of a refrigeratorj for cut flowers is a cold, dry cinetr^ 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. A NEW CATALOGUK of FLORISTS' RKFRIGKRATORS sbows flower store interiors In full color.

The public is getting back to natural conditions and is beginning to think more of the natural mode of living. For over a month the people have thought of flowers only in connection with funerals, but things are beginning to right them- selves and the brighten side of life is again uppermost. And now that the terms of the armistice have been ac- cepted by Germany and the war is over, the public will, no doubt, throw off the suspense under which it has been living for the last year and a half and business soon will come into its own again. Let us hope that by the first of the year things will be in such a condition that the Fuel Administration will see itstway to lift the ban on coal entirely and the growers be allowed to run their ranges at full capacity. * The Fruits of Experience. The last year has been one that has tried the staying qualities of everyone in the trade, but I am glad to be able to say that everyone hereabouts has weathered the storm.

Of course, a readjustment of business con- ditions is bound to follow the war, just as when the war started, but everyone met this as in the natural course of events. While it may be early to dis- cuss this subject, we feel sure that as the people met the changes in the begin- ning of the war, they will measure up to whatever the future may have in store. One thing is certain, the florists' busi- ness is on a firmer foundation today than it has ever been in its history.

Thousands of people were to be seen, each with an armful of flowers, journeying to these two burying grounds. As my readers will realize, these were the poorer classes of our citizens. It is true that in most cases the flowers they carried were dahlias or outdoor chrysanthemums, yet every one of them had to be procured from the stores or the markets.

In many of the better stores they told me that never in their ex- perience had they done such a business as on this occasion. This is really the first flower day of the season, yet it is one that, until a short time ago, was not taken much notice of in our city. This only goes to show what may be ex- pected of our established flower days in the future. The time is past for thinking of flow- ers as nonessential. The business of everyone in the trade from this time on is to think only of supplying the de- mand which is sure to come. The pub- lie will have flowers. They demanded them when conditions were such that even those of us who deal in them could not have blamed them had they econo- mized and passed flowers up. But in these times the demand was even greater than ill normal times. Tate. NEWARK, N. J. The Market. Bulbs from Holland are coming in 'more freely and are in considerable de- mand, though some growers are put- ting off buying stock until the weather becomes cooler. Chrysanthemums are in their prime. Carnations are coming into the local market and, while the stems are short, the quality of the blooms is good. They are high-priced, however. There has been a scarcity of galax leaves and autumn foliage has been used as a substitute by some of the florists. Various Notes. George Penek, of Broad street, has been so busy with funeral work as a result of the epidemic that he has had to put on additional help. He has had to work nights repeatedly. The S. A.

It is now almost a year since our pub- licity campaign started with an appeal for subscriptions. We aimed to raise a fund of $50,000, but if our object is to be attained we must raise about $5,000 more before the close of the year. Will we do itf If the florists who have not yet subscribed will give our project the consideration it deserves, we will. As has been said many times before, this is not work for the benefit of any one florist; it is for all in the trade, col- lectively. One man cannot get more than another, our policy of using jour- nals of national circulation insuring against this. The larger the city, the larger the number of florists, of course, BO the benefit is most equitably dis- tributed.

It has in- creased the demand for flowers consid- erably; it has built up business for spe- cial flower clays; and has caused the public largely to look upon flowers and ])lants in a new light, as subjects highly suitable for gifts. As "drives" for the attainment of important objects are the fashion today, why not start one by yourself, sending in a subscription to the fund if you have not already done sof In your own com- munity you have brother florists. Why not make a little drive and send in a community subscription? You would feel the better for it. Remember, all subscriptions are pub- lished. John Young, Sec'y. BROTHERHOOD-OF-MAN SPIRIT.

Inquiries relative to concessions on large-quantity orders are coming in with increasing frequency, but they are not acknowledged with the enthusiasm of former years. Booking orders in excess of ability to supply will be avoided if possible this year and the word in whole- sale circles seems to be, "Dozen rate flat and half of what you want." Of course th^e are T>}ie favored few who have earned the right to preferred serv- ice by prompt payment of accounts and steady patronage who will be booked for their total requirements. cum • • • X 11 vy . • • J.

Magnuson, of Kane, Pa., reports business continuing as briskly as during October. "When the local demand sub- sides temporarily," he says, "the de- mand from the outskirts of our trade area makes up the deficiency and an easy hour has not been seen for a long time." Mr. Magnuson's development of the potential demand for flowers in Kane and near-by towns during the last five years is nothing short of phenom- enal. A stranger in a strange commu- nity, with a few greenhouses in a deplor- able state of disrepair, was his lot when he made his debut in Kane.

Mr. Magnuson's mums and carnations arc looking well and yield a daily cut of satisfactory proportions. "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, tlie saddest are these, 'It might have boon.' '" This little aphorism has re- ceived the sincere confirmation of the executive force of the Lakeview Rose Gardens. When the fuel restriction order was promulgated, plans were de- cided upon that called for the discontin- uance of seventeen 300-foot rose houses. The labor employed in operating these houses was transferred to other sections. The result was the drying up and dying off of the stock. October, with its un- precedented demand for roses, came and went its way, leaving pleasant thoughts of the additional revenue that might have been had if the average October production of the abandoned section MILWAUKEE, WIS.

HIBBKRD Proprietor had been available at the prices that obtained. Consolation was derived from the fact that war is war and no sacrifice too great that assists, even in a trifling degree, the consummation of its aims. At any rate, it would have been fool- ish to heat the section during Sep- tember and October and by so doing jeopardize the winter prospects of the balance of the place. But when the morning mail November 4 contained a notice from the fuel administrator for the district granting permission to burn bituminous coal to 100 per cent of normal requirements, what a differ- ence it made!^ The ease with which the section could have been operated accentuated the poignancy of thought regarding the loss in revenue. But it was realized that the most important part of most men's lives may be "what might have been," so attention is con- centrated on business as usual. Sherm Offerle, of Warren, Pa., re- ports the biggest October in the history of the business in that section, both in output and profit. The "flu" hit Mr. Offerle hard, for an edict was promul- gated by the local board of health that closed the doors of every place of busi- ness, with the exception of drug stores, CUDC BROS.CO.

A splendid lot of Wells chrysan- themums are being harvested now and are selling readily at good prices. When all is said the fact remains that he who serves best, profits most. Charles Ordway, of Glean, N. Y., four years ago operated a business in Hornell, N. Y., that paid an clastic profit; that is, a /■profit that could be stretched from a point beyond nothing to the next point in the income scale, a living.

The Market. The cut flower market has resumed its normal condition and business is somewhat quiet for this time of the year. Funeral work is not so much in demand, but it is the greater part of the business at this time. So far this sea- son little is being done in receptions and parties. After being under quaran- tine for the last five weeks, the ban in this city was lifted on most places No- vember 5, and on all places, including the schools and colleges, the following day. Little business was done Novem- ber 7, when the "peace" news came. After the orders were safely out of the way, most of the stores closed for the remainder of the day. The people were most excited over the news, only to be sadly disappointed when it was denied. November 8 and 9 business was more brisk, which cleaned up most of the stock. Tlie prevailing flower at this time is the chrysautheniuni, which is seen in many varieties, including white and yellow Turner, Bonnaffon, Chry- solora. Chieftain, Harvard, Dorner's I'ink, Smith's Ideal, Unaka and Eager. They are bringing from $8 to $25 per hundred, according to quality. There are quantities of pompons on the mar- ket in many varieties. Yellows, pinks and Avhites sell in preference to the darker shades. Outdoor pompons sell fairly well. They are of good quality this year, although there is a scarcity of yellow varieties. Since the heavy demand for flowers stopped, prices have lowered in proportion. The supply of carnations meets all present demands. Fairly good stock is seen. Only a few asters arrived last week and no more are expected this year. For some un- known reason the sale of violets is small, and only about half as many are being sold as in the last sea- son. Some good cosmos, miguonett'.^ and snapdragons are seen; also a little (iypsojihila olegans. There is a good supply of roses on hand. The demand is not overlarge, but they move fairly well. Ophelia, September Morn and Columbia are mostly in demand. Or- chids and bouvardia are on hand, but thev do not meet a large demand. Greens of "all kinds are plentiful. Begonia, pompon, primrose, cyclamen and lily plants are seen and sell well. Various Notes. Eobert H. Link, an able seaman who was gassed in the battle of Chateau Thierry and invalided home and who worked in Rochester during the first week of the recent Liberty Loan cam- paign, has made application for entrance into the officers' training camj), at Camp Fremont, Cal. Before his enlistment in the regular army Mr. Link was in the employ of James Vick 's Sons. Fred Peartree, who for several years has been in the employ of his cousin, G. T.

They are 4-inch reproductions of Fraternal Emblems embossed in gold and the colors demanded by each Fraternal Order How are they used? They are attached to the ribbon or chiffon of any floral offering. Why are they of such help to the Florist? They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M. They save «vire designs; for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and flowers as scarce and high as they will be the coming winter. They save letterlntf. Think of that.

Not only are a great many sold as cut flow- ers, but the demand for potted pompons is steadily increasing and many are dis- posed of in this way. His stock is in good shape and will be ready for cutting shortly. Many of the local growers who have been unable to procure enough coal to last them through the winter months have been growing lettuce and other vegetables of quick growth. This has saved their houses from lying idle, but since the new ruling of the Fuel Ad- ministrator it is probable that several may change their minds and run the whole of their greenhouse ranges. H. J. H. GET READY SALT LAKE CITY. The Market. The first heavy snowfall, November 5, has practically destroyed outdoor flow- ers of every description, which have been utilized by the retailers to good advantage for funeral work for the last eight weeks. Scarcity of flowers in this territory and shortened supplies from California will make the market situa- tion uncertain from now on. There is still a fairly good supply of mums from California and Giant violets are starting to come in quantity. Greens have been a scarce item for the last month, but will be ample from now on. A fair sup- ply of California roses has been coming into this city at reasonable prices and were useful for funeral work. Scarcity of flowers in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada forced retailers in the small towns in these states to send in their orders to the florists in this city and those catering to the out-of- town trade have enjoyed an immense Record of 2 Yds. per Minute SOUDER MFG.

The wave of influenza seems well under control in this city, but it is working havoc in the state of Idaho, and northbound express trains are load- ed with flowers every day. The pri- mary election day, November 5, has been one of the dullest days in the floral cal- endar in years past, but every florist in the city was rushed to death that day and the florists' cash registers were heavily loaded with coins. The florists are now making prepara- tions for Christmas stock. Considerable stock is being ordered in the flowering- plant line. Various Notes. Fortunately, none of the florists in this city has been afflicted with "flu" so far. Bailey & Sons Co. reports the arrival of aquarium and bird supplies from the east and is featuring displays of high- grade bird cages, Victory singing ca- naries and ornamental aquariums with Japanese fantail goldfishes artistically arranged among blooming chrysanthe- mum plants and ferns. Florists in Pocatello, Id., report an un- precedented demand for funeral flowers. Miss Mabel G. Atkin, of Pocatello, who recently started in the business, was perhaps the busiest florist there this fall. The B. C. Morris Floral Co. and the Huddart Floral Co. were heavy shippers of funeral flowers recently. The forces of these concerns have had scarcely time to breathe for several weeks. The Hud- dart Floral Co. is keeping up its window display in its usual artistic manner. A recent attractive display was of baskets of chrysanthemum plants, pompon bas- kets and numerous novelty bouquets, arranged by the city's only lady floral artist, Mrs. Harford. The Lambourne Floral Co. has had an immense business in funeral work. Its large window was much admired last week for a decoration of exceptional beauty. The Miller Floral Co., of Farmington, reports the arrival of Holland bulbs. The outlook for poinsettias for this Christmas is unusually fine. NOTBMBBB 14, 1918. The Florists^ Review 69 THINK!

The Lawrence Floral Co., of Idaho Falls, Id., also reports a demand beyond the capacity of supply. G. K. U. "I note with considerable interest the item in The Review regarding the short- age of greens and while it seems to have covered the subject quite thoroughly, no mention was made of the green fam- ine which existed for a short time on the west coast," says Robert Newcomb, of the Miller Floral Co. "We were ten days without a bit of green, due to shortage of help, sickness of employees of the green pickers, and an overwhelm- ing demand for greens caused by so much funeral work." Another shortage was of wire frames, which gave rise to such items as this, from an Ogdcn newspaper: "Allegation that certain florists of Ogden are removing floral pieces from the graves of those recently deceased and placing them on sale again was the substance of a report received by tlie city commission yesterday. An inves- tigation will be made by the police de- partment." East St. Louis, 111. — Miss L. Doussard had a window display calling attention to the Fourth Liberty Ijoan by a repre- sentation of the dash for Metz, showing the mountains and woods, with soldiers, machine guns, cannon and tanks. Gen- eral Pershing was shown leading his vic- torious army toward Berlin. Columbus, Miss. — T. G. Owen says the efforts of the local branch of the United States Employment Service to recruit unskilled labor have unsettled labor con- ditions for the nonwar industries even though that lOibor be such as is classed as skilled. Gi'eenhouse employees, he says, fail to appreciate that they are skilled workers in this trade and un- skilled common labor when they ehanjje to another line. Under normal condi- tions Mr. Owen employs about thirty men in his greenhouses; now he lias only eighteen.

Seed Trade News AXEBIOAN SEED TEASE ASSOCIATION. Prealdent, F. W. Bolglano. WashinKton, D. 0.; •ecretary-treasurer, C. B. Kendel. Cleveland. O. Howard M. Earl is the ' ' Who 's Who ' ' this week. The Dutch bulbs are cleaning up even faster than the most enthusiastic ex- pected. The Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan., surprised the Bed Cross agency there, when, in response to the appeal for peach pits, it donated fifty-two sacks, weighing more than two tons. The pits originally w^ere purchased for seed. Adolph Kruhm, who November 1 be- came secretary of Beckert's Seed Store, Pittsburgh, enjoys a large acquaintance in the trade and brings to this connection a wide and varied experience. His former affiliations were with the W. Atlee Bur- pee Co., Philadelphia, and the Living- ston Seed Co., Columbus, O., and as man- ager of the horticultural department of Country Life and the Garden Magazine. The new home of A. C. Kendel, Cleve- land, occupies an advantageous site on the southeast corner of Prospect avenue and North Second street. It is a modem, 4-story, fireproof structure, of reinforced concrete construction, with facade of white terra cotta. The location is easily accessible from the market house district. With the exception of space leased in the west store room to a clothing house, the entire building will be occupied ))v the seed store. The first three stories are high enough to permit the installation of balconies for storage purposes. The house of Kendel is said to be one of the two or three oldest firms in tlie citv of Cleveland. SEEDS IN FIRST CLASS. Reclassification on Priorities List. The Priorities Division of the War Industries Board November 6 placed seeds in Class 1 on the priorities list. This announcement was made to the members of the American Seed Trade Association by President F. W. Bol- giano, of Washington, D. C. It was re- ceived with great satisfaction, as this change in classification places seeds on a par with munitions, food and other highly essential things. But the great- est advantage the order brings to the trade is that seeds now will be given preference by the railroads when in transit, partially solving the problem of transportation at this time, when conditions are far from satisfactorv. The change in classification ' was brought about by a special committee of the association, which has been urging tliat seeds l)e placed in Class 1 ever since the Priorities Division made its classification last summer. President Bolgiano, together with the war service committee of the association, consisting of Kirby B. White, of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit; John L. Hunt, of the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y.; William G. Scarlett, of W. G. Scarlett & Co., Baltimore; C. C. Massie, of Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, and Howard M.

Wethersfield will be down to twenty- five or thirty per cent, and some of the yellows eighty to ninety per cent. The lettuce crop was fairly good with me, and I shall make practically a full de- livery, although I will say that much of the lettuce that was out in our Septem- ber rains was discolored. The vitality of such, though, is good. "Table beet was fairly good and the leading varieties will probably be filled in full or nearly so, while on some of the minor varieties the pro rata delivery will be forty to fifty per cent. Carrot was fair and will be filled practically in full. Badish was filled in full by me, with the exception of the white and long red varieties. I did fill in full on all globe and turnip shapes. Parsley was poor, with the exception of Cham- pion Moss Curled. On Hamburg Rooted I made a fair showing, plain parsley good, and Champion Moss Curled about five per cent. Parsnip is not yet cleaned, but I hope to make at least a seventy to seventy-five per cent delivery. Sweet peas were poor, many of them being entirely destroyed by the September rains. Salsify was poor and deliveries ran about thirty per cent." FOBAaE-PLANT SEED IMPORTS.

The approach of the end of the war lends interest to the situation in which the Holland bulb growers find them- selves, for an early return to unre- stricted intercourse is in prospect. The growers of bulbs have had to meet ad- verse conditions for the last five crop years. In addition to increased cost and restricted foreign markets and shipping facilities, their government has taken a hand by prescribing the uses of land. The result has been a steady reduction in acreage and in stocks of bulbs car- ried over for planting. One well informed Hollander puts the stock of bulbs in Holland at planting time this year at about forty per cent of the quantity on hand when the 1914 crop was planted in the autumn of 1913. The stock consists principally of the varieties that command the higher prices, the stocks disposed of being, for obvious reasons, the cheap sorts which returned little money for the space oc- cupied. The exporters are not looking for lower prices for the 1919 crop. They figure that the English, German and WHY DON'T YOU ORDER SOME TE^t^ Sweet Peas? READY FOR DEUVERY NOW Pkt. Oz. ^4 lb. Asta Ohn.

If these countries do not call for a quantity of bulbs comparable with the years before 1914, which, indeed, it would be impos- sible to supply, they will take enough to strengthen the market. There will be, in addition, a home demand to com- pete with the export demand. In Hol- land before the war there were many hundreds of small growers who sold their crops to exporters. Numbers of these farmers sold out of bulbs in 1916 and 1917. Now they are buying stock to get back into the bulb business, and by next year will be in the market for quantities of planting stock which will represent an appreciable percentage of the available supply. Consequently the exporters expect rising rather than fall- ing prices, and it is figured there will be not more than twenty or possibly thirty travelers sent to the United States this winter, where there were about 125 in the first part of the years up to 1916.

This is based upon estimates of the pack being from 18,500,000 to 20,000,000 cases of No. 3 tomatoes^ two dozen cans to the case. The government will re- quire about 8,500 carloads of a thousand cases each. It would take a freight train nearly sixty miles long to move this quantity. The chief interest from a trade stand- point in the foregoing dispatch from the Committee on Information will be the statement of the government as to its ideas of the total pack of this year. The pack last year has been officially computed at 15,076,074 cases, not in- cluding 1,023,474 cases packed in pulp. Not since 1914 had there been any such pack as last year, that of 1914 being 15,- 222,000 cases, the highest on record. It is thus evident that the effort to secure a large tomato crop this year was suc- cessful. THE NATION'S SEED SUPPLY. [This Is the sixth Installment of an extract from the monograph on "Tlie Seed Supply of the Nation," by R. A. Oakley, agronomist in charge of seed distribution, Bureau of Plant Industry. The first installment appeared October 3. The next installment will appear in an early issue.] Denmark and Holland have grown most of our cabbage seed in the past, but now domestic production is being ex- tended, especially in the Puget Sound country and on Long Island. The possi- bilities of cabbage seed production in the former section are great. This might also be said of cauliflower, kale and rape. Kale seed is grown in considerable quantities in our southern states. Rape, which is more of a forage crop than a human food, is grown extensively in Japan, as well as in Europe, and just now most of the seed which we are im- porting comes from that country. The Japanese varieties of winter rape appear to be much the same as the European varieties. For the fiscal year 1917, 2,285,700 pounds of rape seed were im- ported. Much spinach seed is required for home gardens, market gardens and canneries. Formerly it has been se- cured without difficulty from Holland, Italy and Greece.

In 1917 the spinach seed acreage in California was greatly increased over previous plantings; likewise that in the Pacific northwest; but the California crop was short and the increased acre- age failed to produce enough seed to re- lieve the situation caused by the difficul- ties surrounding importations from Europe. The canners and market gar- deners are taking active interest in the possibilities of the much increased pro- duction of spinach seed along the At- lantic coast and in the Puget Sound country, as well as in California, with a view of making this country inde- pendent of foreign countries for its seed. An abundance of prickly spinach seed can be had from Japan, but this variety is not in favor here. Bermuda Onions in Texas. The growing of Bermuda onions in XOVE-MItEK 14, 1918. The Florists^ Review 79 Giant California Hybrid Amaryllis With the shortage of many of the customary Easter Plants, these Giant-flowered Amaryllis, which are more easily grown in pots than Easter Lilies and are far more showy, should prove a valuable addi- tion among flowering plants for late winter, early spring and Easter use. We have been familiar with and have v^-atched this particular strain for a number of years. We have not only seen it growing with the originators, but tried it out in pot culture in our own houses. The flowers are of enormous size. Flowers with full, rounded, broad petals, 10 inches in diameter, are not unusual, and 5 to 0 flowers to a stem, frequently two stems being pushed to the bulb. In color there are selfs and stripes, ranging from the purest white ground color with rose or red markings to rich orange- scarlet, cherry, crimson and maroon, and all with a satin-like luster which, in the deeper shades, shines as if burnished. Give these a trial, as we feel certain you will be pleased with the results PRICES: Extra Heavy Selected Bulbs $6.00 per doz. $45.00 per 100 $400.00 per 1000 50 supplied at 100 rates, 250 at 1000 rates.

In the spring of 1917 some apprehension was felt by the growers regarding the arrival of seed from Teneriffe in time for planting, but it arrived without un- due delay. Investigations have shown that Bermuda onion seed of high quality can be produced in Arizona and New Mexico. This seed gives highly satis- factory results in the United States and also in the Bermuda islands. The seed of other varieties of onion is produced abundantly and its production can be as greatly increased as needs warrant. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. Business continues heavy, though not equal in volume to that of the last three or four weeks. Mums are at the height of their season and roses and carnations are plentiful and of good quality. There are quantities of pompons of many va- rieties, which find a ready sale. The weather is ideal, making it possible to conserve fuel supplies. The "flu" ban has been lifted, but there are still many deaths from the disease and from pneu- monia. The outdoor crop of flowers has been cut down by frost, so that, if it were not for mums, there would be a scarcity of flowers. Various Notes. A visit to the Oak Hill greenhouses formerly conducted by Miss Nellie Goodge, finds improvements. The range is now under the management of M. H. Lockyear and is known as the Loekyear Floral Co. Mrs. Lockyear is a sister of Miss Goodge and, since taking charge, Mr. Lockyear has come to like the busi- ness. He is also proprietor of the Lock- year Business College, of this city. He says that the business college is all right for a young man, but that the florists' business is better for an older man. He has torn down an old stable and built a fine new one farther in the rear. He has put up a new front to the office, with a sign showing the name and underneath it the slogan, "Say It with Flowers." Next year he intends to tear down two houses and build a large new house. The business is increasing rapidly. Letters received recently from the United States Chamber of Commerce by the florists stated that representatives probably would be asked to meet in Washington to confer on the coal ques- tion in the near future. Replies were requested by November 10. The Evans- ville Florists' Club held a special meet- ing at the store of the William Black- man Floral Co. November 7 and selected George Blackman as its representative, with C. L. Niednagel as substitute. The florists are pleased with the new coal orders, because it will be helpful to the florists who are situated less for- tunately. The florists of this city, by the use of screenings, have had all the coal needed, without the new order, as screenings are plentiful here. E. L. F. Hart, Mich. — Otto Kuehnel, who closed his greenhouse last year on account of the fuel situation, is uncertain whether ho will reopen or accept a post offered him in Chicago. i( W Worth -while Quality Bulbs FOR PROMPT SHIPMENT High-grade stock is in short supply with an active de- mand and we urge early purchase.

The Market. The last two weeks the local trade has been a whirlwind for the florists. Funeral work has kept them busy long after closing time each day and flowers have been scarce, though local stock is coming into the market more freely than heretofore. California flowers have helped a great deal to relieve the situation. Eoses are of good quality and bring good prices. Carnations are also good, as well as mums, most of the latter be- ing of the White Turner variety. Or- chids, gardenias and bouvardia are plentiful. California violets are poor. Various Notes. The recent order issued by the local board of health closing all stores, both wholesale and retail, before 10 a. m. and after 3 p. m. daily has affected counter sales to a great extent. Mr. Desmond, of Hollywood Gardens, and Mr. Poolman, of the Woodland Park Floral Co., went on a three days' fishing trip last week. They report poor fish- ing, but luck did not desert them en- tirely as they brought back a gootl brace of wild duck. Bosaia Bros, are cutting a quantity of good orchids. The Woodland Flower Shop is getting some fine Ophelia roses from the Beall Greenhouse Co., at Vashon. Stuber & Richardson are cutting a large crop of Cecile Brunner roses and carnations. W. S. G. LOS ANGELES. The Market. There has been no let-up in funeral work and the retailers have been mak- ing money, but this is practically the only outlet for flowers. Looking over the mum season, it is noted that there probably never has been a season when more money was made by wholesalers and retailers, while the growers also got their share. There has been no glut and indeed a scarcity of good stock for shipping has been noted all through the season so far. If this continues during the season of late mums, there probably will be more grown next year. The scarcity of brake fern has been a seri- ous one, with the price so high as to be almost prohibitive. Substitutes are found in Boston and sword fern fronds, while leptospermum is used in place of huckleberry. Eoses are better than for some time and more plentiful. The out- door stock is particularly good, owing to the open weather. Carnations are higher in price than usual at this time and equal to the demand. Orchids are more plentiful, but the demand is only fair. In plants, some fine cyclamens are being shown and good ferns. A slight frost in some localities the morning of November 7 had its effect upon some of the outdoor stock. Various Notes. The death of Milton Morris, son of O. M. Morris, is reported in the obituarj' column. D. Stathatos, proprietor of the Broad- way Florists, has been sick for several days with influenza. T. D. Robertson, of Fullerton, Cal., was in town this week. He reports business good in the floral line but slow in the nursery. John Fincken was taken sick late in the evening of November 6 and has been in bed a couple of days with a serious cold and high temperature. We all hope he will soon be around again. Tassano Bros, report a considerable shortage in some lines of greens, but they are busy with orders. Angelo is- still sick and Tony is the only one on hand now. He seems to be fully re- covered from his recent illness. H. N. Gage is handling several ex- quisite varieties of pompons, which sell freely, owing to the big demand for funeral flowers. Fre'd Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., reports business far above normal. He has had to put on additional help in the new store. Frank Nelson,' formerly of the Southern California Cut Flower Co., has joined the force here after a pleas- ant driving tour of _ t|iQ .desert, from which he returned recently. W. Armacost & Co. report shipping business keeping up well. An extra fine cut of roses is being taken. James Morris, foreman at the greenhouses, has been sick but has recovered. Mr. Wil- liamson, the bookkeeper, says they have been singularly fortunate in having so few of their people sick during the epi- demic. All the sick people have returned to their work at the store of S. Murata & Co. and business is good with this concern. There has been a specially ac- tive call for orchids here of late.

The demand for cut flowers has in- creased to such a point that the growers are unable to fill fifty per cent of the demand. Chrysanthemums are coming in scarcely open and carnations are at a premium. Roses normally would be flooding the mafket, with the amount being cut, but, with the pre««nt demand, the retailers are unable to keep a re- Hpectal)le -!L V 84 The Florists^ Review NOVKMHKII 14, 1918. the call has been for the better-class stock, of which this store makes a spe- cialty. On account of the epidemic, stores have been forced to close at 3:30 p. m. and open at 9 a. m. While this has de- creased the counter trade, it gfives the florists a chance to get out the funeral or- ders. H. K. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Though the number of deaths from in- fluenza is on the decline in this vicinity, it still runs enough above normal to continue the rush at the florists' estab lishments. From the florists' stand- point, it is interesting to note that the amount of funeral work for the victims of the influenza epidemic has averaged high, many funerals calling for expen- sive palls and elaborate floral pieces. As far as stock is concerned, there is no acute shortage here, but more flow- ers could be disposed of to good advan- tage, were the supply larger. The short- ening up of chrysanthemum arrivals has called a halt on the acceptance of ship- ping orders for this particular flower. Enough stock continues to reach the market each day, however, to supply the local demand fairly well. The mums now in evidence are not up to the high standard maintained a while back, when the Japanese growers were bringing in quantities of large, fancy varieties. Now practically all the chrysanthemums arriving are being brought in by the Chinese growers, who do not produce such perfect blooms as do the Japanese, one reason probably being that the Jap- anese grow their mums under cheese- cloth, for the most part, while the Chi- nese stock is grown in the open. With little competition, the Chinese mums clean up without difficulty, regardless of their not showing the quality of the of- ferings of a fortnight ago. There was some rain during the week, but not enough to do much damage to the mums. On the other hand, it is expected to help the violets, the supply of which to date has been below requirements. Roses show improvement from week to week, almost from day to day. There is a fine cut of Russell, Ophelia, American Beauties and several other varieties. The shipping demand precludes the possibility of a surplus of roses in this market. Orchids are equal to the demand and the same may be said of gardenias. Greens are plentiful for the most part. As a result of the heavy demand for moss, the price has been raised to $1 per sack wholesale. Various Notes. The regular November meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was canceled on account of the suspension of public gatherings. A nice wedding decoration for next week comes as a welcome relief from funeral work for Albert O. Stein's force. It is the wedding of Miss Braver- man and Dr. Ebright and calls for a chapel as well as a home decoration. The bride 's bouquet will be white Os- trich Plumes and phalsenopsis. Among the large funeral orders for the last week was a replica of one of the new- type destroyers for the funeral of a high official of the Union Iron Works. It was nine feet long and was made almost en- tirely of pompons. For the same funeral Mr. Stein made a pall of maidenhair ferns and Ophelia roses, and ten other pieces.

Darbee and her force have been having a hard time to keep pace with the funeral rush. Working short- handed, with members of the staff sick, Mrs. Darbee almost had a breakdown herself. A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., says funeral work continues exception- ally heavy, but the break is due now, it being ten days since the crest of new cases was reached. Mr. Rossi considers his firm particularly lucky; not only were none of the regular employees stricken with influenza, but they were ublo to get three or four experienced florists in addition to help out during the rusli. Some of them had been retired from the business for some time, but they answered the S. O. S. signal; were drafted, in other words, according to Mr. Rossi. The deaths of Emil Ferrari and Domi- nic Figone are noted in the obituary column. Bart Filippelli, of the Western Ever- green Co., is on the sick list.

We are pleased to state that our opinion is this year's business will far exceed that of last year, reports H, B. Chase, president of the Chase Nursery Co., Chase, Ala. Anything that looks like a fruit tree is in brisk demand in this section, peach particularly so, and ornamental stock is going nicely. The ornamental stock, however, is in far greater supply than the fruit trees, and no doubt all ornamental orders for next spring will be filled all right. We be- lieve, however, that there will be a big shortage of fruit trees, with the possi- ble exception of cherry. Our October shipments, including October 25, are in excess of last year by about $8,800. THE DEMAND IN THE WEST. "The demand for nursery stock dur- ing the last month or six weeks has not been great," writes E. H. Smith, sec- retary and treasurer of the Harrison Nursery Co., York, Neb. "We at- tribute this more to the war activities, which are demanding people's time and money, than to any other reason. How- ever, we believe that business will pick up from now on. "So far this year the demand for fruit and shade trees has been greater than the demand for small fruits and ornamentals. We have no reason to com- plain, because our business so far is bet- ter than it was last year at this time. "Our surplus stock is going to be in ornamentals. We have already been obliged to discontinue selling some items on account of the scarcity of stock, and before delivery time next spring we feel certain that there will be a shortage in fruit trees and small fruits."

We firmly believe that from now on we can look for a better trade at bet- ter prices than we have had for the last several seasons.

With this condi- tion improved, we cannot but take an optimistic view of the future in the nursery business. ' ' WATEEBURY, CONN. The influenza epidemic lasted six weeks in Waterbury and the death rate was large. During that time the florists were rushed with funeral work. The supply of stock now is much bet- ter than it was three weeks ago, when there was such a demand that it was simply impossible to fill all orders. All the florists worked night and day and could have done more if they had been able to get the flowers. The theaters and schools now have re- opened and the ban has been removed from public gatherings. At the Ryan & Powers store there were days during the epidemic when all the flowers received were made up into funeral designs and pieces, and several days many orders were refused. R. P. NEWPORT, K. I. Daniel Crowley, a private in the 310th Infantry, died in France October 11, according to information received by relatives in this city last week.

Jaeger & Son, has been off duty for two weeks, but is expected back shortly. The influenza has gone the rounds of the Art Floral Co., on Powell street, but even with the full force back at work, P. V. Matraia, head of the firm, and some of his men, have had to work until midnight and later almost every night for some time getting out funeral orders. Eoses are replacing chrysanthemums as the center of attention at the flower depot of the E. W. McLellan Co., in Bush street. Manager J. A. Axell says orders for roses are coming in freely from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon- tana and east to Salt Lake City. Eussell roses are the principal variety U3ed for shipping by this company. In fact, this rose, according to Mr. Axell, constitutes the staple of their business. The United Flower & Supply Co., Inc., has been handicapped in filling violet orders, bat the rain this week is ex- pected to increase the supply sufficiently so November shipments will show a big increase. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., re- ports the best shipping season in the his- tory of his business. Lester Morse, head of C. C. Morse & Co., has returned from the east. T. C. Holmes, manager of the retail store on lower Market street, has just resumed his duties after two weeks at home with the "flu." He expects shipments of Holland bulbs by November 15. Al- ready many inquiries are being received at the store, indicating that the demand will be brisk.

W. B. Bryan, Federal Fuel Adminis- trator for Kentucky, has given the flo- rists of that state blanket permission to burn all tlie bituminous mine-run coal or bituminous screenings they need without having them apply on their quota of fifty per cent under the fuel restriction order. The action was taken as the result of a request by O. S. Ilon- aker, of Lexington, to whom the Fuel Administrator wrote as follows: "Confirming telephone conversation, your attention is directed to the follow- ing order issued by the United States Fuel Administration: Until further notice state fuel administrators may permit florists to receive and bum bitumi- nous coal, steam anthracite or coke breeze with- out having such fuel apply on their fifty per cent (juota, as defined by Fuel Administration curtail- ment order of April 24, 1918, whenever there is a surplus of such fuel which in the opinion of the state administrator can be spared for such purpose. "Pursuant to the authority granted by the above order, the florists of Ken- tucky are authorized, until further no- tice, to burn bituminous screenings, bi- tuminous mine-run or coke breeze with- out having such fuel apply on their fifty per cent quota. "It is suggested that you give pub- licity to this order among the members of your association and florists gener- ally." FUEL CONSERVATION. 7,000,000 Tons of Coal Saved. Through the cooperation of the in- dustrial power plants, which have thus far put into force the standard recom- mendations of the United States Fuel Administration to promote efficiency in the use of fuel in power plants, a sav- ing of 7,000,000 tons annually has been effected. That is to say, in the first six months from the announcement of the national program 3,500,000 tons have been conserved, at the same time maintaining maximum production in the factories. The largest savings have been in the following states: Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, Missouri, Michigan, Minne- sota and Wisconsin. Some industrial plants, which have adopted the standard recommendations and kept systematic records, report a fuel saving' as high as twenty -five per cent, and the average is estimated be- tween ten per cent and fifteen per cent. This large economy is effected at prac- tically no expense to the plant owner, since the recommendations treat primar- ily of proper methods of firing and man- agement in power plants. One manufacturing plant in Abbe- ville, S. C, writes the Fuel Administra- tion that as a result of the installation of the improvements and records recom- mended, "we show for the first eight months of this year a fuel saving of DDnannnnnnannnannnnaanDD ddd D D D c D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D a WHEN YOU BUY GET A KROESCHELL 'THE BOILER OF UNEQUALED FUEL ECONOMY' KrO^ green H0U3E BOILER .o, ^iL^^ HOT VJ^ KROESCHELL BOILERS will give record breaking services this Winter.

Every customer immensely satisfied. The high efficiency and low cost of operation make the Kroeschell the best of all boilers for Florists' use. KROESCHELL ROILERS have satis- factorily and permanently solved the eflfective burning of screenings. They will burn the worst grades of ci.al. even the dirtiest culm or sawdust and wood refuse. Greenhouse owners like the KROES- CHELL because of its extreme simplic- ity and freedom from trouble. As a fuel saver, it pays its own way. The KROES- CHELL will increase your heating plant efficiency 20 to 40%. The KROE.SCHELL has proven its worth in many of the large establish- ments in this country. It has frequently been selected by the most care- ful buyers in competition with all other types of boilers. Its efficiency and capacity are completely beyond any other boiler.

A Fuel Administration campaign com- prehends voluntary service by engineer inspectors, lectures to fuel conservation classes in educational institutions, ad- dresses before public meetings, explana- tions of the program to power plant owners, and various forms of printed matter and posters. For the efficient execution of the pro- gram of industrial conservation, un- der the plan developed, the engineers of the country have been mobilized through the professional societies and operating engineers and firemen, and as a result there are today 1,500 volun- teer engineer specialists and power plant men organized by states, inspect- ing power plants, classifying them ac- cording to their operating efficiency, and aiding the work of rapid development. As a direct result of the operation of this plan, it is estimated that the total annual saving throughout the country will be about 25,000,000 tons of coal without reducing the output of the fac- tories.

Meanwhile an alto- gether unforeseen demand, springing up in the shape of extensive funeral work, has thrown the flower market into an abnormal state. There has been avail- able hardly twenty-five per cent of the stock needed to meet the demands from other quarters, until the present week, when, fortunately, mums have come into full crop and are helping to save the situation. The mums are clean and large and command a ready sale at prices from 8 cents to 60 cents per bloom. Roses, including the new rose Columbia, are particularly good this season and are still in keen demand, at prices ranging from $7 to $20 per hun- dred, week-end sales being unheard-of this fall. Carnations are slow in com- ing into crop, but have every appear- ance of coming up to last year's high standard. Violets also are of excellent quality and sell easily at $1.25 and $1.50 per hundred. The trade will feel the absence of tulips when their season arrives, as few have been imported this year, none, in fact, coming to this neighborhood. A few French daffodils, Romans and Pa- per Whites are just to hand, but the cost of freight, running as it does to almost $20 per case, will make these flowers unprofitable to those Avho force them. However, we all hope for better luck in this connection next season. A month from now will bring us into the middle of the busy Christmas rush and, judging by all the signs and por- tents that so far have shown them- selves, including the peace negotiations and the success of the recent Victory Loan, it is safe to prophesy a large holiday trade. Various Notes. Cold weather has not yet set in, but the coal deliveries have been kept up so well that the season's risk has been minimized and it is altogether probable that part of the range of six houses of the Dale Estate that were to be pulled down will be allowed to remain standing. Unfortunately, however, it has been impossible to avoid a fire in the large coal shed, which has been burning for over a fortnight, without efforts to extinguish it proving success- ful. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a visitor here last week It is a curious commentary that, de- spite the fact that the war is in its fifth year and conditions corresponding- ly adverse, there has not been grown on the Dale Estate for many years bet- ter stock than that which is now being cut.

The Florists^ Review 95 Figure Costs by the Year A wise business man figures costs by the year, right down the line, and especially so if his business has to do with greenhouses. He knows, either by experience or from a close study of the subject, that the only businesslike method of determining material costs in greenhouse building is by the year — first cost and up-keep cost. CYPRESS, "the wood eternal" for greenhouse construction, is positively the cheapest wood to use, figured by its years on the job, without repairs or replacements. All good constructors in these days are insisting on genuine "Tide- Water" Cypress, "The Wood Eternal" — every board and bundle bearing the famous Cypress Trade-mark. Vol.8. CYPRESS Pocket Library, is a little book filled with a big bunch of facts and figures about greenhouse construction— profitable reading.

France and Belgium are not making a light and haven't for some time. It will be long after the war is over before they can again make it. ^ After the war there is bound to be a big boom in all kinds of building operations. This means a lively demand for glass, with no chance of the price being lower. Frankly, it looks as if after the war prices would actually be higher. That's why now is a good time to buy glass.

New York, say of the System: "It has always been a great expense to prepare our land for the carna- tion stock before planting, as each day we would only plow enough for the day's planting so tliat we could work in moist soil. This also would be all band raked to get it in the best condition. We can now plow the whole strip and harrow with a spiked tooth harrow and use the Skinner System after each day's planting to water them down."

Damping of the stems and foliage when watering will increase it. Water on clear mornings only and damp the foliage as little as possible. Keep a dry atmosphere. Cut away badly affected shoots. It would be best to destroy badly affected plants. Select a fine, sunny morning and give the plants a spraying of Bordeaux mix- ture. Repeat this eight or ten days later and it will afford material relief. Eely on seedlings rather than cuttings, if yon would have your snapdragons more nearly immune from disease. C. W.

Does the water in the boiler get boiling hot while the return stays cool for an hour or so ? Are the coils in your house sagging or not pitched enough to give good circulation in the system? You need something to give a positive circu- lation to start the water moving in the pipes, to pass it over the hot water surface faster ; in a sentence, to make it absorb the heat before it goes up the chimney.

You insist that your bread be fresh and pay three times as much for fresh bread as for stale. The only difference between the fresh and stale is moisture. You buy Ruscus by the pound. You should insist that your ruscus be "fresh" like your bread — in both cases freshness meaning moisture. To buy dry ruscus is like purchasing stale bread — in each the important element "moisture** is missing. The value to you of any quantity of ruscus is not its weight, or even its cost, but the profit it will bring you when made up and sold. Randall Ruscus is dyed a brilliant red from the finest white Italian raw stock, and is put through a preserving process to retain its pliability, shape, texture and foliage. It is shipped moist, so that it may reach you with its leaves and branches in their natural state. This moisture is preserving solution, made of dyes twenty times as costly by weight as the raw ruscus itself and of preserving chemicals fifty times as expensive. Buy your Randall Ruscus now. Write for prices, stating the quantity you can USE. A. L. Randall Company, i8o n.

And in so doing, they will be called on to furnish many with the so-called "patriotic touch/' Here is told how some have satisfied this demand. HILE "it 's an ill wind that blows nobody good," and the retailers have been ^ ^ "fed up" on funeral work ^ ^4^ ^ during the last five or six VjvC-^ weeks, a great majority of *) L^ them are glad the peak of (yyf}^ the influenza epidemic has passed, even though it did mean many dollars in their pockets that otherwise would not now be there. Also, it gave to many of the pessimists in the trade a new feeling of confidence in their business, proving be- yond any doubt that, no matter what the United States War Industries Board, the Fuel Administration and other gov- ernment conservation agencies may hold, to the people of this country flowers must be classed with the so-called nec- essaries. During the last six weeks the retailers in the trade everywhere, in cities large and small, have been busy with practically only one thing — funeral work. The call has been the larg- est in the history of the florists' business; it was so large that anything and everything in the shape of flowers was used. We Made GKxxL Some of the artistic touch that every florist likes to put into his fu- neral designs was lost for the simple reason the time could not be spared; nei- ther was there much choice in the stock that was available. But all the re- tailers did the best they could to satisfy the de- mand and, with few ex- ceptions, made good. Now that conditions are more normal, the design- ers will get back in their stride. They will use the ingenuity that has given them the position they hold and will make the funeral work they turn out something more than a few flowers thrown to- gether with green. Ever since the United States got into the war and before, the call for the class of designs usu- ally called patriotic has been good. All sorts of odd things, submarines, aeroplanes, officers * in- signia and the other military and naval markings, have been given to the flo- rists to reproduce in flowers. The Ee- view from time to time during the last two years has reproduced many of these designs. They have conveyed to the trade ideas that have been used with the variations every designer likes to employ to give his work a personal touch. Old Idea in New Dress. Herewith is reproduced a design that is about as old as the florists' trade — the gates ajar. But it has been brought up to date; the old idea was used as the basis and the present-day patriotic idea was added. The design was made by the Pikes Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs, Colo., for the funeral of an American soldier. Gates Ajar Up to Date, by Pikes Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs. As will be seen by the illustration, no great amount of stock was used in the design. Roses, lilies and asparagus com- posed the stock, while an artistic ar- rangement of the United States colors completed the decoration of the design. Displays of ingenuity on the part of the designer, such as was shown by the artist of the Pikes Peak Floral Co., in the more elaborate but out-of-the-ordi- nary funeral pieces, are what count with the customer. The person who wants something different, and has his own ideas of what that something different should be, and takes his conception of the funeral piece to the florist, ought to be given what he wants. Nothing is so undiplomatic, to say the least, as to shatter the pet idea of a customer. Consequently, when friends or, as often has been the case in recent months, the comrades of a soldier come to the flower store and want the in- signia of a regiment or company incorporated into a design, with guns crossed in the old-fash- ioned way, the order is taken, no matter what the designer's ideas of a fit- ting tribute may be. With the ideas of the customer or customers many things can be done by the skillful floral artist. He can do as the Pikes Peak company designer did — take the idea and make of it some- thing out of the ordinary. Trade's Foundation. Eeturning to the sub- ject of the recent rush of funeral work, let it be said that it demonstrated again what has been dem- onstrated during every summer — that funeral work is the real founda- tion of the florists' busi- ness. All retailers cater to it; in fact, some cater to it so strongly that there has come a campaign against the practice of giving commissions to un- dertakers who throw fu- neral work to this or that store. With this fact in mind and while it is a great deal more interesting, per- haps, to decorate a home or. a church for a wedding or to provide the flowers for some social occasion, 12 The Florists^ Review NOTBMBBB 21. 1818. the closest attention should be given to the class of business that provides the all-year-round income. By so doing there will be a steady inflow of the stuff that makes it possible to pay the bills regularly. The increase in funeral work has been natural. The growth has come from the fact that those who always send a floral tribute of some kind to the homes of dead friends and relatives have had more monev than ever before. With their increases in income their expend- itures have increased, and the only thing that will stop them from continu- ing to spend for flowers will be the ab- sence of money. The Beconstructlon Period. With the reconstruction period in Eu- rope ahead, for which the United States will be called on to supply a considera- ble part of the materials, and with the return to normal pursuits in this coun- try, there is not likely to be any short- age of money among the workers for some time to come. This theory leads to the belief that the growth of funeral work is a healthy growth and that the call for flowers will continue good. At any rate, we have come through the war in good shape; we have been taught to practice little economies that, it is hoped, have become habits, and al- together we are well prepared to face what the future holds. iai^iisaiii^iisaiiii]ti«yii84i(^i^i^i^i^i^i^t^ WARD CHANGES HIS PLANS ?tfe^?flfr^lfr^l?f^i?f^iff^it7rfit7rtit7^itf^it?rtit7^ij^^ WILL MOVE BULB FARMS NORTH. To Columbia River Section. Charles Willis Ward, whose operations on the Pacific coast have been the sub- ject of many newspaper articles in the last two years, and of still more private discussion, especially in the last six months, announces that he will abandon the attempt to grow early tulips at Eureka, Cal., and will remove the main bulb growing establishment of the Cot- tage Gardens Nurseries to the Columbia river bottoms, some fifty miles down the river from Portland. "I am so thoroughly convinced that the Columbia river bottoms are the log- ical place for the future development of the bulb industry in the United States," says Mr. Ward, * * that I have decided to dispose of all of my interests in Califor- nia, including my investment in tim- bered lands, as well as my interest in extensive oil properties in Louisiana and West Virginia, and invest my entire capital in the Cottage Gardens Nurs- eries business, which will be removed from California to the vicinity of Port- land. ' ' Experiences at Eureka. "In planning the future growing of bulbs by the Cottage Gardens Nurs- eries," says Mr. Ward, "we have con- cluded to maintain one bulb farm of about 200 acres lying near the coast about twenty miles north of Eureka, Cal. The soil upon this farm is from two to six feet in depth and is a light, sandy loam, heavily impregnated with leaf -mold. The subsoil, which is thirty to forty feet in depth, is a clear, sharp sand, which retains considerable mois- ture during the dry season and gives it off gradually to the upper soil. The re- gion is frost-free. Lying immediately upon the coast, it usually is blanketed with heavy fogs whenever freezing weather occurs in the mountain regions behind. Upon this farm hyacinths can be grown of superior quality, and also the Darwin tulips, the gladiolus and the crocus, but the early tulips are a failure, owing to the mildness of the vsdnter month of December, when they are often forced into flower before the foliage has made suflScient growth to carry out the development and maturity of the new bulb." The Columbia Bottoms. "The main bulb growing establish- ment of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries will be located in the Columbia river bottoms,lyingabout fifty miles down the river from the city of Portland. These lands are identical with, the bulb lands in the vicinity of Sassenheim, Haarlem and Leiden, Holland. The main forma- tion, or subsoil, is a river silt from forty to fifty feet in depth. Upon certain por- tions of these lands this is overlaid with four to five feet of a clean, sandy loam, which is particularly adaptable for the growth of early tulips and hyacinths. Other sections are overlaid with a NOTICE To those who want things printed in Because the Thanksgiving holi- day falls on Thursday, the day the paper usually is mailed, it will be necessary to go to press next week ONE DAY EARLY TUESDAY with the issue of November 28. Get YoiR Matter in Monday stratum of two to four feet of peat, which is highly impregnated with nitrogen and which rapidly rots away and mixes up with the subsoil as the lands are cultivated. In other sections the river silt comes to the surface and this soil is the richest and most pro- ductive of all of the soils on the Pacific coast. It is light and friable as soon as it dries out and, under cultivation, works up into a soft, smooth, silky loam. It produces all of the garden vegetables in the greatest profusion and of best qual- ity. As there are approximately 200,000 acres of this land in the Columbia river bottoms, there is area enough to accom- modate the entire bulb growing business of Holland. All of these lands must be diked and^ as the winter rainfall ranges from forty-five to sixty inches, extensive pumping plants must be maintained to keep the water level five or six feet be- low the surface of the soil. The lands acquired by the Cottage Gardens Nurs- eries are surrounded with dikes twenty- three feet in height, with bases 100 feet through. They are furnished with pow- erful pumping plants throwing double streams of water, each individual stream thirty-six inches in diameter." What of Forcing Plants? Mr. Ward's announcement does not include information with regard to plans for the business of producing azaleas and other forcing plants, which he sought to establish at Eureka coinci- dentally with the starting of bulb grow- ing on a large scale. Mr. Ward said, however: "I would strongly advise any florists who contemplate entering either the business of growing bulbs on the Pacific coast, or the production of florists ' forc- ing plants, to locate in the vicinity of Portland, Ore., and not to spend any time or fool away any money in in- vestigating other sections of this coast." That other changes are being made at Eureka was made apparent this week by the arrival of two letters from the general office of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, one announcing that Wm. P. Stark, the widely known nurseryman of Neosho, Mo., was on a visit there, and the other signed "Cottage Gardens Nurseries, W. P. Stark, Manager." LOCK UP THE NICOTINE. After Labeling the Container. Florists know the deadly nature of the insecticides used in the trade and are cautious; it is the "innocent by- stander" who pays the penalty of ig- norance and carelessness. This is the story of a double death at Morton Grove, 111., involving persons not members of the trade: "Two years ago I went to a florist and asked for some poison to spray on my plants," said Mrs. H. A. Scharen- berg. "He sold it to me after pouring it into a whisky bottle. I hid the bot- tle on a rafter in the garage so that my child could not get it." Mr. Scharenberg continued the story: "I found the bottle. It looked like whisky. Occasionally I had taken a half-pint flask with me on hunting trips. I thought it was a bottle I had left there and forgotten. I took it into the house and kept it a while. "Last Friday morning at about 4 o'clock E. L. Nieman and Fred Pein, who were like brothers to me, rapped on our door. Everyone had been celebrat- ing and we all were up. They asked if we had 'something hard to drink.* I thought of the bottle. I got it and poured out the drinks. Nieman and Pein lifted their glasses, touched them, and Pein gave the toast: 'Here's to peace on earth forever.* " M NOTBMBKB 21, 1918. The Florists' Review 13 Both drank and both fell dead as if shot. Scharenberg did not drink. He just touched the bottle to his lips to test the contents. He fell beside the other two. For several days his life hung in the balance. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. New York, N. Y. — Judge Knox has dismissed the petition in bankruptcy filed October 4 against Arthur T. Bod- dington Co., Inc., dealer in seeds and bulbs, at 128 Chambers street. It is re- ported that three creditors are in Ger- many and one in Belgium and that no- tices for them were sent to the Alien Property Custodian. New York. — The receiver in the bank- ruptcy proceedings of Isadore A. Fight, individually, and John R. Walsh, co- partners, trading as the Anglin & Walsh Co., Williamsbridge, N. Y., has filed his report and it has been referred to Sea- man Miller, referee, 2 Rector street. New York, for testimony and report by Judge A. N. Hand, of the U. S. District court. Creditors of the bankrupts have been notified that the hearing will be held at Referee Miller 's office November 26, at 1:15 p. m. The petition in bank ruptcy was filed last February. At that time the assets and liabilities were giv- en at something over $3,000, there being slight variation between the two amounts. New York. — Peter Karadontes, retail florist at 3185 Broadway, has filed a vol- untary petition in bankruptcy. The lia- bilities are placed at $9,102 and the as- sets at $169. The largest creditors scheduled are the S. S. Pennock Co., New York, $1,131.90; Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., $824.25, and William P. Ford, New York, $776.75. Knoxvllle, Tenn. — In the U. S. Dis- trict court for the eastern division of Tennessee, Yancey Hill Shanklin was declared a bankrupt November 14. .W. J. Donaldson, referee in bankruptcy, has issued a notice that there will be a meeting of the creditors of the bankrupt in the United States courtroom, Knox- ville, at 9 a. m., December 5, at which time creditors may attend, prove their claims, appoint a trustee, examine the bankrupt and transact such other busi- ness as may properly come before the meeting. Utlca, N. Y.— William M. Stewart, re- ceiver in bankruptcy for the . Susque- hanna Valley Greenhouses, Inc., made his final report to Judge George W. Ray, of the United States District court, No- vember 9. Judge Ray has ordered that the bankrupt and its creditors appear before him in Utica at 11 a. m., De- cember 3, and show cause why the re- port should not be approved and the assets of the concern be turned over to the trustee. The report asks that Ar- thur E. Fancher and V. Ben Waterman be allowed $40, and Clarence L. Cham- berlin $50 for their services as apprais- ers of the bankrupt's property. LADIES' S. A. F. In the deaths of Mrs. George Kuhl and Mrs. Anders Rasmussen, the Ladies' S. A. F. has lost two of its most valued members. They were among the first to join and by their pleasing personalities helped to make the society a success. By kind words and encouragement be- stowed at times of need, they have aided the efforts of other members, who MRS. E. SX7DEB. THE age of a woman is a subject taboo — taboo, that is, until she has lived the allotted three score years and ten; then she likes to talk about it. Mrs. Suder is 76, probably the oldest woman actively at work in the flower business in the United States. For more th^n a half century, or to be exact, since April 12, 1868, the Suder establishment has been a factor in the business life of Toledo, O. It was founded by Ewald Suder, who died in 1881. Since that time Mrs. Suder has been engaged in the management of the greenhouses and store at 2741 Cherry street. The portrait above was made from a snapshot taken a few weeks ago in her greenhouses. Mr. Suder came to Toledo from Germany some sixty years ago. He first was employed at the Humboldt Nursery. Aided by Mrs. Suder, he accumulated some money and purchased the present place, which, with the growth of the city, has become extremely valuable. She is assisted in the management of the establishment by her son, A. A. Suder. will sadly miss them at the future meet- ings of the society. Mrs. Charles H. Maynard. THE RETURN OF PEACE. The return of peace is bound to bring to the florists' trade more normal con- ditions than those that have been faced during the last four, and especially dur- ing the last two years. The production of plants and flowers will get back to the prewar basis within a year, it is predicted, and there will be a return of the good old times. In the meantime the trade is "carrying on" in good shape and, as was said in The Review at the conclusion of the hostilities, it has come through the trying times hurt less than many others. The removal of various restrictions that have ham- pered the trade makes it -possible now to get back into our stride. Many flo- rists will be wanting to buy stock; many others will want to get rid of their surplus, so as to have a larger variety than was possible under the fuel re- strictions. These florists can be brought together at the trade 's clearing house, the Classified section of The Review. No one ever comes to this market and goes away disappointed.

OHBYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. THE BELGIAN PLANT CENTER. In Start and Finish of War. Just as Ghent, horticultural center of Belgium, was cue of the centers of ac- tion in the early days of the war, so was it the scene of one of the closing acts of the great drama. Invaded by the Germans in August, 1914, it was evacuated by them in November, 1918, just before tlie surrender. The American trade has had possibly greater interest in the affairs of Ghent and its vicinity than in those of any other spot behind the battle lines, be- cause there is no florist in the United States who has not handled stock grown at Ghent before the war and many en- joyed pleasant personal relations as well as business acquaintance with the ex- porters there. Ghent has furnished America with azaleas and has been the principal source of supply for bay trees, rhododendrons, aspidistras and many other important items of our plant stock. City Escapes Destruction. When the German army passed through Ghent in 1914 it was in such haste to reach the coast that the city and its environs suffered comparatively little damage. The invaders kept to the roads and the army passed through quickly. Under German administration exports at first went on via Holland, but in the last two years it has been impossible to maintain touch with business connections there, so no one today is able to say what condition the horticultural establishments are in or what has become of the men who ran them. Press reports indicate that, just as the city escaped serious damage at the time of the invasion, so also did it es- cape destruction during the evacuation. The cable has brought a story that the Belgian population followed the advanc- ing British army to see the show as the last Germans retired from the city. Prior to the evacuation, however, the British artillery and aircraft bombed the district west of Ghent in which, be- fore the war, there were many hun- dreds of plant-growing establishments. Many Plant Growers There. Ghent was the capital of the province of East Flanders, situated on islands at the junction of the Lys with the Scheldt, and with a number of canals leading in all directions. Prior to the war the city had a population, with its suburbs of Ledeberg and Mont St. Amand, of close to 200,000. The city was a center for woolen manufacture and for the exportation of linen, cotton, lace and manufactures of leather, in addition to being famous as one of the most important of the medieval towns, with many notable examples of art and architecture, but in the florists' and nursery trade it was known as having more plant-growing establishments than any other one locality in Europe. It is said that before the war there were some 1,400 growers in the district around Ghent and westward to Bruges, a distance of some twenty-five miles. The hitter place is widely known in the trade as the Belgian headquarters of Sander & Sons. Somergem, about eight miles northwest of Ghent, was the headquar- ters of the Haerens Co., one of the jirincipal exporters of azaleas to the United States. In Ghent itself were such widely known firms as that of Arthur De Meyer, of Louis Van Houtte Pere, C. Petrick and De Smet Bros., names familiar to every florist who has noted the paper variety labels on his azaleas. There is no news as to how many of the growers had survived the German methods during the four years of occupation. Trade Can Not Revive. The custom in the trade at Ghent was similar to that of many other horticul- tural centers in Europe and America: Large numbers of small growers each produced a quantity of stock which was either grown for or sold to one of the large exporting firms. At last accounts, via Holland, the stocks of the Belgian growers were seriously depleted; it is feared that though government restriction will shortly be removed from shipping, there can be no early resumption of exports, nor can the Ghent plant-growing in- dustry expect a revival of the great trade done in America if the Federal Horticultural Board of the United States Department of Agriculture car- ries out its announced intention to pro- hibit the importation into the United Work of tlie Committees. The examining committees of the C. S. A. have submitted reports on new varieties as follows: At Chicago, November 9, Celebration, yellow, incurved, submitted by B. G. Hill Co., Kichmond, Ind., scored as follows on the commercial scale: Color, 18; form, 14; fullness, 0; stem, 14; foliage, 14; substance, 13; size, 9; total, 91.

BAUR'S NEW PINK CARNATION. A. F. J. Baur's new pink carnation is not yet named — only numbered, but a name will be chosen for it soon. Prob- ably it will proceed straightway, also, to make a name for itself. At least, if it fails to do so, the failure will not be due to lack of good credentials. It has an auspicious start. When a new car- nation is offered by so experienced and well known a firm as Baur & Stein- kamp, the trade can scarcely avoid tak- ing notice. And when, besides, the car- nation is the result of the best skill of such a specialist as Mr. Baur, and has his confident approval, what better rec- ommendation could the new variety have? Oh, yes, it is supposed that the major- ity of people have a natural tendency, in spite of modesty and strict honesty, to form a high opinion of their own products. But such a tendency, in the ease of a thoroughly responsible firm or individual, is likely to be counterbal- anced, is it not, by a wise conservatism and a desire to maintain a good reputa- tion? The new carnation is labeled No. 414. The illustrations show a house of it and also a separate bloom, as seen from three different points of view. In order to appreciate fully the prospect of a good crop of flowers, it is important to note that the photograph of the house was taken early — November 7, 1918. "We believe," says Mr. Baur, "that this is the best variety we have yet pro- duced and we feel confident that it will be added to the list of standard sorts after it is disseminated. In color it is similar to Gloriosa, but somewhat brighter, holding its color better. In size it is equal to the Enchantress va- rieties, and in freedom it compares fa- vorably with the best of the standard sorts grown today. It seems to have all the earmarks of a high-grade com- NOTSMBBB 21, 1918. The Florists^ Review 15 Rear> Side and Front Views of the Baur & Steinkamp New Carnation^ No. 414. mercial sort.

The annual fall exhibition of the Ehode Island Horticultural Society was held in the ballroom of the Narragan- sett hotel, at Providence, November 14 and 15 and was an excellent one. Pot chrysanthemums were missed, but cut blooms were numerous and of grand quality. Roses and carnations were both in fine form. Great credit is due to this society for keeping its exhibitions go- ing as usual, while other and larger societies either have dropped shows en- tirely or so reduced them that they are mere shadows of those of former years. The leading exhibitors and prize-win- ners in the mum classes were John S. Doig, gardener to F. S. Peck, Barring- ton, R. I., some of whose finest vases were William Turner, Yellow Turner, Glenview, Louisa Pockett and E. Seide- witz; the Warwick Neck Greenhouses, whose Glenview, Yellow Eaton, Yellow Turner and Supreme were noteworthy, and Fred Hoffman, whose finest varie- ties were Golden Age, President Everitt and William Turner. T. J. Johnston & Co., Providence, took first and second for the best baskets of chrysanthemums. They also showed some excellent baskets of roses, a bride's bouquet of roses and a display of ferns. The carnation prizes were di- vided between John S. Doig and the Mount Pleasant Greenhouses. John Macrae had a fine table of carnations not for competition and had planned to show cut mums in quantity, but mistook the day of opening. John S. Doig had an excellent vase of Eucharis amazon- ica. Things to Eat. The Providence Market Gardeners' Association cooperated with the Horti- cultural Society in this show and its members showed some high-quality veg- etables. Apples were more largely shown than usual, the boxes from L. K. Klarma being specially good. Displays of canned goods were large and canning competi- tions were given on the first evening of the show. The second day the show was in the hands of the allied war re- lief campaigners and a good sum was netted for our boys across the water. W. N. Craig, Brookline, Mass., ofirciat- ed as judge. W. N. C. HYDRANGEAS ARE POPULAR. The popularity of the hydrangea as a pot plant for Christmas and Easter, which has been constantly growing since the importations of azaleas from Bel- gium were shut off by the war, promises to be greater this season. Already many growers have their stock for the Christ- mas demand and are preparing to have a good supply to bloom at Easter. French hydrangeas are excellent pot plants for these two flower-selling days. They are propagated with the greatest ease, grow rapidly, force splendidly, bloom much earlier than the old H. otaksa, produce splendid heads of flow- ers and can be had in a fine range of colors. While most florists grow more or less of these blooming plants, those who want to increase their supply should pur- chase either pot-grown or field-grown stock now. If they are wanted for Christmas and before, pot-grown plants in 5-inch, 6-inch or even larger sizes should be secured. Keep them in a cold- frame for a time and gradually reduce their water supply, not causing a com- plete drying up, but a gradual shrink- age. For plants to bloom at Easter and Memorial day, field-grown stock will an- swer just as well. While primulas, cyclamens and bego- nias will be as popular as ever this year, it is well for variety's sake to have a supply of hydrangeas of the French va- rieties. Then the customer will have a good assortment to choose from. ...ilili) '^^^* ^'^^^- ^^#: - ^S:^ House of the Baur & Steinkamp Carnation, No. 4H, Photographed November 7, 1918. 16 The Florists^ Review November 21, 1918.

The chrysanthemums at the various ranges were an unusually at- tractive sight. IJinner was served at the City cafe. The tables were artistically decorated by Fred H. Lemon & Co. After the Itusiness meeting a bowling contest and a social hour were enjoved at the Elks' Club. Post-Bellum Plans. Tiie business meeting was presided over b}' President Irwin Bertermann.

The job of po- licing the l-'ranco-Gernian frontier will keep some of tiic men "over there" for a long time, undoubtedly, and it is not unlikely that some of those whose train- ing has been finished in the camps here will go over to relieve those who have been doing the actual fighting, liut it is certain tliat those members of our trade who came through the lighting in France will be back in time to helf) out with the preparations for the Easter rush. When they come let The Keview know, so that it can spread the gooa news. In the meantime, any informa- tion regarding tlie boys ''over there" or those in the camps here will be wel- come at The Review ofQcc. Walter Sambrook Dies in France.

Various Notes. N. E. Flyn, lessee of the storr and grcenliouses on West Eighteenth street, owned by the Sthliiraff Floral Co., re- ports his new venture as jianning out more successfully than he anticipated. In addition to the culture of tlowers, Mr. Flyn will ile\ote a jiortioii of the greenhouses to the growing of vege- tables. The demand Erie holds for the hatter assures a satisfactory market at all times for the entire iiroduction. C. (J. Locke, of Arkjiort, N. Y., is closing down his greenhouses for the winter after enjoying a splendid sea- son's business in sni.all cyclamens, jirim- ulas and cinerarias. Mr. Locke states that it is nothing short of wonderful, the demand that can be created for small ]dants through advertising in The Review. Plans arc under consideration for a rooted-cutting and small-jilant business on a large scale next year. With the painstaking care Mr. Locke gives his stock, success in the undertak- ing is assurcnl. .1. C. Layton, of Glean, N. Y., is back on the job again, thoroughly recovered from infliien/.a.

Some good growers insist that if nicotine liquid is used once •a week and well sjirayed into the centers of the ]dants, the pest can be overcome. Nevertheless, our most successful grow- ers have been troubled by attacks of it from time to time. Weak fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has helped to exterminate the pest. This cannot be used with safety, however, during the warm weather, and I w(nild ha\e more faith in nicotine sjirayings, using them while the sun sliines brightly, which is the time the tiny pests cr.awl out from their hiding jilaces in the tlowers.

One may no longer shrug his shoulders and excuse himself with, "C'est la guerre." La guerre est finie. The trade in the south never has en- joyed as high a state of prosperity as has been its good fortune this season. The florist who has no system of look- ing after collections always will have money on the books, but none in the bank. Next season probably will establish a record for the number of novelties put on the market. There were a lot of new things awaiting the return of peace. Two classes of florists are retiring from the business under present conditions: Those who never have been able to make it pay and those who have made it pay so well they can afford to retire. There are numbers of each. The experience of the last few months has served to show many florists that they previously employed considerably more help than really was needed, both in stores and greenhouses. While a little more than the present number of work- ers are needed in most places, many never will put back all of the old crew. There are few florists who have not cut off one or another of the costly little services rendered in the good old days that will be slow returning — the good old days will be slow, we mean; most flo- rists like so well to spend their money they will be quick to put the frills on again when they can, even if they do not now sicm to be missed. THE DEMAND FOB PLANTS. While the supply of plants is short this season there is no shortage in de- mand for them. No grower who has sur- plus stock to dispose of is having trou- ble in finding buyers; in fact, there are more customers than there are plants, providing, of course, the proper means are used to let the trade know what is for sale. The Classified section of The Review is bringing wonderful results to those who have plants for sale. The orders received as a result of these lit- tle ads are so numerous that in many cases the advertisers are having to re- turn checks. Like this: Kindly cut out my advertisement. I do not like to return checks. — L. Benson, Indianapolis, Ind., September 22, 1918. Please discontinue our carnation ad. We are sold out and dislike to return so many checks. — Joy Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn., September 23, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. THE COAL MARKET. The expectation of some florists that, now the war is over, the price of coal will be reduced will not be realized, at least during the winter of 1918-19, as- serts a Chicago authority on the sub- ject. The maximum prices fixed by the United States Fuel Administration will be maintained, because they were based on the cost of production, arrived at by an investigation of the Federal Trade Commission. During the last two weeks there has been an oversupply of the poorer grades of bituminous coal in Chicago and other bituminous coal centers. For this rea- son coal has been offered at from 25 to 50 cents per ton under the government maximum prices. The better grades of coal, however, such as Franklin county in Illinois, are held at the maximum price and little can be bought. The cheaper coal comes from mines that were not worked before there was the great demand for fuel for war purposes because the quality is so poor and it is expected that their operation will cease as soon as conditions become more normal. "Any florist who feels sorry for him- self because he has a supply of the bet- ter grades of bituminous coal, bought at the government price, does not know the conditions," the coal man asserted. "Florists use the best class of bitu- minous coal, which will not be offered in the market at a lower price for some time to come, not during this winter, at least." STILL TAKENO THEM OVEB. Last week the United States govern- ment took over the American Railway Express Co., which heretofore had been outside government management, and placed the express service of the entire country under the control of Director General McAdoo, the same as the rail- road service is. The action was a surprise, coming, as it did, after the actual, if not the tech- nical, close of the war, and it has aroused great opposition in political and economic circles. The American people have been willing to stand for anything the purpose of which was alleged to be the winning of the war, but there are many who cannot see why government control and operation should be ex- tended after the war is won. Almost the first act of the director general will be to raise express rates and the employees ' salaries. Florists heretofore have said little, not wishing to appear to be in the posi- tion of opposing anything the govern- ment considered desirable in prosecuting the war. But it is a matter of common knowledge in the trade that the govern- ment operation of railroads, telegraph and telephones and its acquiescence in the previous combination of express companies, all have resulted in a marked deterioration of service and a consider- able average increase in the cost of that service. Now that the war is won, the trade will not be satisfied with anything short of the quickest possible return to the private operation of public utilities. GET YOUB OBDEBS IN. In a recent communication to The Review, John Wolf, of Savannah, Ga,, says: I must mention that the express service Is the worst I have ever known. It Is impossible to get things on time. There are times, of course, when it is necessary for florists to send rush orders for stock; there also are times when florists receive orders for flowers or designs that depend on normal express service to reach their destinations in time. But many, many times failure to get shipments when they are needed is the fault of the florist himself. Ever since the war began and the railroads were called upon to handle a greatly increased amount of traffic with the facilities that were taxed even be- fore the speeding up of war work, The Review has urged the members of the trade to anticipate their wants and get their orders in as far in advance as possible. But the habit of years is hard to break, and they have gone along as in normal times — expecting pre-war service. Outside of flowers, almost everything used in a retail store is staple. These things can be ordered now as well as next week — they will be used sometime. This applies to what the retailer will need for the holidays — Thanksgiving; Christmas, New Year's, St. Valentine's day and the other big flower-selling days of the season, ending with Memorial day. Now is an excellent time to take an inventory — find out what things will be needed for these holidays and order them. An order placed now will mean that the goods will arrive well in ad- vance of the time they are needed. CHICAaO. The Market. Business has been excellent; it has fully recovered the ground lost in the height of the mum season and is larger than ever before at this date. Shipping continues brisk and wholesalers report a large number of Thanksgiving orders on hand. It is the opinion of some that the first part of next week will see the biggest shipping in the history of the Chicago market. While the shipping is going along in such good shape, city trade is keeping pace with it and prices are much above normal. The retailers are also looking for a "grand and glo- rious" Thanksgiving and have made many preparations for handling a large volume of business. Corsage work has NOVXMBEB 21, 1918.

The opening night of the opera, November 18, brought a big demand for them and the retailers say it looked like a before-the-war op- era. Increased numbers of corsages also are being used for street wear, violets being a popular seller. Many large re- tailers report that during the latter part of last week they received orders for many table decorations, etc., work they had not received for a year or more, due to the war conditions. Stock conditions, with a few excep- tions, are almost like those of last week. Chrysanthemums continue to be the leader in the market, with large quan- tities arriving, but the end of their sea- gon is near. Some of the best growers will be cut out by the end of the week and will kave none for Thanksgiving. The demand for fancy stock continues to be larger than the supply, while other grades also meet with a good call and clean up well. Prices remain good. Yel- low pompons are most abundant and the cheapest flower on the market. White and pink bunch mums are not equal to the demand and bring excel- lent prices. Long-stemmed roses are coming in good quantity and there are just about enough of them to take care of orders. It looks like a coming shortage for this class of stock. Other lengths, however, continue on the short side. Prices on roses have stiffened, the shorts most of all. Carnations are arriving more plenti- fully and meet with their usual good demand, but it is the same story with them as in the last few weeks, more stock, more orders, which puts them on the short side, bringing a satisfactory price. Some long-stemmed stock has made its appearance, but the quantity is small. The better grade pompons continue to be used to make up for the carnation shortage. There is a larger supply of orchids than there has been for some time, but there are not enough for present needs and prices have advanced. The usual demand for Easter lilies continues and these are not plentiful. Kubrum lilies have met with an unusual call, evidently due to the shortage of Easter lilies, and they bring a good price.

Both double and single violets are arriving in good quantities and, while the call has increased, it is not large enough to absorb the stock coming in. Sweet peas had become plentiful, but the weather has not been in their favor and there is not a good call for them. There is enough mignonette for present needs. Paper Whites made their appearance on the market last week, but move slowly. The greens situation, for the fii'st time in many weeks, has changed.

The organization of the Chicago Re- tail Florists' Association was completed at a meeting held at the Congress hotel November 19. Officers were elected as follows: President — L. E. Bohannon. Vice-president — A. Lange. Secretary — William Wienhoeber, Assistant Secretary — F. S. Webb, 168 North Michigan avenue. Treasurer — W. J. Smyth. The association starts off with twenty- four charter members, the membership fee being $25, and the list includes the recognized leaders in the business. It is planned to hold weekly meetings, prob- ably during the luncheon hour, to dis- cuss the general welfare of the retail florists' business in Chicago. Various Notes. August Juergens sent the first Paper Whites of the season to the market No- vember 14. Their unusually early ar- rival, following so closely on the heels of the delivery of the French bulbs, at- tracted unusual attention. The explana- tion lies in the fact that the bulbs forced were grown on Mr. Juergens' own farm in Mississippi and reached Chicago months ago. W. J. Smyth supplied 1,200 bouquets this week for an affair at Medinah Tem- ple, 600 on Tuesday evening and the same number again on Thursday. Miss O. A. Tonner, of the firm that bears her name, is of the opinion that out-of-town trade fears a shortage of supplies, which she says is evident by the large number of Christmas supply orders already received, for immediate shipment. Fred Nichlas, Jr., formerly with Peter Reinberg, has gone into business for himself, opening a cut flower and supply house in the Atlas block. Those former florists, Lubliner & Trinz, are still extending their moving picture interests. November 18 they took over the lease of the Lakeside thea- ter, 4730 Sheridan road, for a term of five and one-half years at a reported an- nual rental of $12,100. The theater has a seating capacity of about 1,000 and is the eleventh in the Lubliner & Trinz string. F. M. Johnson says he is looking for- ward to the greatest buying season the florists' supply trade ever has known. While business has been good daring 28 The Florists^ Review NOTBHBBB 21, 1018. the autumn, buying has been mostly for immediate needs and Christmas and the winter have, not been provided for on the usual scale. The arrival of peace, Mr. Johnson thinks, will result in florists everywhere preparing for the biggest Christmas and midwinter busi- ness ever known. He expects to see a scramble for merchandise, because stocks everywhere are lower than usual at this date. After having spent the summer on his apple ranches in Idaho, Charles A. Sam- uelson has returned to the store on Michigan avenue. He has lost none of his enthusiasm for the outdoor life. George Asmus was at Buffalo last week to attend the funeral of a sister, who died unexpectedly. Nowhere in the flower trade has the return of peace been more welcome than at the store of the E. Wienhoeber Co., on Elm street. This establishment is in the center of the older aristocratic north side residence neighborhood and in or- dinary times has depended less on fu- neral work than probably any other store in Chicago; consequently it was hardest hit by the suspension of social activities. It is stated that already a difference can be seen in the call for flowers; customers have visibly cheered up, are buying flowers more freely for their own use and sending them more generously to their friends. A resump- tion of social activities is expected in the near future. Charles Grabig will celebrate his fifty- fifth birthday on Thanksgiving day. It will also be the anniversary of forty years in the trade. Mrs. Grabig, who has been in the hospital for many months, is home again and is speedily recovering from her long illness. It was disappointing to A. J. Zech, chairman of the florists' division in the United War Work drive, likewise to others who gave their best efforts to assist Mr. Zech, to see the trade fall be- hind in this drive when it had gone over tlic top in everything of this kind licrt'toforo. 1!.

Now that the war is over, prep- arations are being made to handle a large volume of business.

The supply is plentiful and the demand is such as to make clearances possible. Chrysan- themums, of course, are the main fea- ture of the supply, and arrivals are heavy.

Wabash Avenue, Mention The Review when you wrlte^ WIETOR BROS., Chicago stupid prejudice, which has in the last few days been apparent, against the use of yellow flowers in the celebrations now eommoB. Pompons and singles are still coming in quantity, the mild weather prolonging the cut of outside stock grown under muslin protection. Roses are plentiful and the quality of the stock is generally fine, although the weather is warm. The supply of long- stemmed flowers is greater, but the in- crease seems to be pretty well absorbed. Mrs. Charles Russell, Ophelia and Had- ley roses seem to be most in demand among the colored varieties, with Prima Donna and Sunburst next. American Beauty is shorter in supply than other varieties, but there are enough to go around. Every week now carnations are showing improvement in quality, and some excellent flowers are seen in the top grades, fancies bringing as much as $4 per htindred. The supply of orchids is not heavy, and the choicer grades of eattleyas move quickly. Dendrobium PhalfiBBopsis is in good supply, and brings as much as $12 per hundred flow- ers. Ordinary Oncidium varicosum. moves at $3 per hundred flowers. Gar-S denias are in rather short supply. The"^ quality of arrivals is nothing to boast about, and $3 per dozen is a fair price. A few sweet peas are coming in and find buyers, but no one is yearning for them. Small lots of snapdragons and bouvardia are in evidence, and move largely in collective sales. There are plenty of lilies for the demand, but some of the consignments are "green," a quality not always to be desired. On the whole, the market is fairly strong and encouraging. The prospects for a good Thanksgiving demand are ex- cellent. There is not likely to be a real shortage of flowers, but it is believed that clearances will be close. Bosh Deliveries.

Nowadays "boys are hard to get, and wages high when they are secured. An advertisement for one a short time ago, with $10 mentioned as the weekly wage, failed to bring a single reply. The com- mission men say that they are fre- quently asked to send to a distant store twenty-five roses, a dozen chrysanthe- mums, or equally small quantities of other flowers, entailing car fares and time at the rate of about 20 cents per hour, in all an expense exceeding the commission made on the sale. And, worst of all, often the flowers are re- turned with the messenger as not being exactly up to requirements. The help problem is, of course, just as serious with the retailers, but the wholesalers do not think they should stand in the breach, especially as most retailers in these days have delivery cars and could just as well use them to pick up these small lota of flowers. • Various Notes. Peter Karadontes, a retail florist of 3185 Broadway, has filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy. The liabilities are said to be $9,102 and the assets $169. The largest creditors scheduled are S. S. Pennock Co., New York, $1,131.90; Bob- bink & Atkins, Eutherford, N. J., $824.25, and William P. Ford, New York, $776.75. The growers around New York are feeling a little more cheerful, due to the fact that there is a prospect of the speedy removal of all fuel restrictions. In many cases, however, little advantage would result, as preparation has been made for closing many greenhouses at different establishments, and it is now too late to plant stock in them. Out- side of new roses, there is little stock available for bench planting, and some would not care to load up with bedding stock, or plants for Easter. Some have "Say it with Flowers" 1 ^ To tkose brave boys of onisi! Flowers, both natural and artificial, will be in greater demand than ever in the history of our business.

Bedding stock appeals to the majority, and it is believed that the de- mand for this material next spring will be abnormally large. Henry Bohs, who for some time was manager of Trepel 's Fulton street store, in Brooklyn, died at his home in Glen- dale, L. I., November 7. He was 34 years of age and is survived by his wife and two children. The sympathy of the trade is extended to George Vocke, salesman for J, Chev- alley and F. Abrams, of Blue Point, L. I,, at the New York Cut Flower Co. establishment, whose wife died last week of pneumonia. The judges at the recent show of the American Institute and the Chrysanthe- mum Society of America, together with a few other invited guests, were enter- tained the evening of the opening da.j of the shows at a dinner at Monza's restaurant, the American Institute play- ing the part of host.

Judge John McNichol was the soloist, and it was interesting enough to induce many regular patrons of the restaurant to remain at table much longer than customary, at least the manager said so. The forthcoming number of the Gar- den Magazine is awaited with interest by the trade. It is to be devoted largely to the S. A. F. national publicity cam- paign. The cover carries an appropriate illustration in the usual good style for which the magazine is noted, and the slogan, "Say It with Flowers," is prominent in the design. As the mag- azine is displayed on most of the news- stands throughout the country, the slogan will get a tremendous amount of publicity. Harry Hoffmeier, the florist at Broad- way and Eighty-sixth street, has added a fruit department to his store. The store is now open until midnight or later.

It is a cross between Princess Dagmar and Matchless, has a good calyx, stem and form of flower; is said to be easily propagated and has all the earmarks of a good commercial variety with one exception, color, which is a strong purplish crimson. It is thought, however, that used with white carnations it would be desirable in fu- neral work, just as was the variety, Governor Deneen, which was introduced ten or more years ago, but which, unfor- tunately, was so weak in the calyx that it disappeared from the market.

The first week of peace brought a pronounced calm to the cut flower mar- ket. Times of excitement generally do. As people became accustomed to the new conditions, business gradually re- sumed its former gait; flowers were bought and sold as before. Some persons were surprised that the return of peace did not immediately bring great social activity, with its usual demand for flow- ers, but those changes come slowly. There has been too much suffering; the sense of personal loss is too terrible in many homes for that yet, even in the hours of victory. It will take time. Chrysanthemums continue to rule the market. Pompons are selling better. Violets are in demand, but the quantity offered is small. Good mignonette has come and some pansies. Snapdragon is improving. There are a few gardenias, but most of them are only fair in qual- ity. Callas are in moderate supply. We have reached that part of the chrysan- themum season where the difference be- tween the good and the poor is strongly marked. The well-grown stock that is clean and pleasing in appearance is in high favor, while poorly grown, dis- eased or bruised chrysanthemums find few friends. The bunches of side spray flowers are neglected in the wholesale houses. Indications point to a fair sup- ply of chrysanthemums for Thanksgiv- ing, with the possibility of a shortage. Some growers are nearly cut out now; others will have a good cut of late va- rieties. BERGER BROS.

Coal. A friend has asked whether the fact that No. 1 buckwheat coal is now open to florists has been clearly understood by all. "Because," he adds, "it is per- fectly possible that the government may withdraw this permission at any time." Better buy all the No. 1 buckwheat you need now. A Tour of Inspection. Immediately after the announcement of peace, or, to be exact, bright and early Thursday morning, November 14, a party of fourteen gathered to spend a day visiting the greenhouse ranges of interest near Philadelphia. It was a party of notables, men who have made their mark in some special branch of our profession, men whose names are well and favorably known all over this broad land, wherever florists dwell. It was an annual affair, something of a club affair, that usually occurs early in October, but was postponed this year until — after the war. To suit the number to the day of the month, there were just fourteen mem- bers present. Four represented that fa- mous floricultural family, the Burtons, John, Alfred, George and Hughey. Three were distinguished out-of-town visitors. CHRYSANTHEMUMS CARNATIONS - ROSES - POMPONS and aU scasonabl* flowers. Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. 1517 Sansom Street, Philadelphia We dose at 5 p. m.

They found the va- rious greenhouse ranges in pretty good shape, though some showed the effects of the war in the labor and coal short- age. The day was a great success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A Visitor of Note. Jesse A. Currey, of Portland, Ore., member of the executive committee of the American Kose Society and head of the state board in charge of the rose test gardens in that city, was here No- vember 15. Mr. Currey came east on government business in relation to con- crete. He stated that the Portland gar- dens, consisting of some four acres, were doing well. To meet Mr. Currey a lit- tle gathering of those closely identified with the American Eose Society was ar- ranged to talk over matters informally. Those present were Robert G. Huey, Samuel S. Pennock and Eobert Pyle. The American Eose Society now num- bers 1,500 members, a splendid showing, giving much promise for the future of the queen of flowers in this country. Various Notes. The annual chrysanthemum show in Horticultural hall, Fairmount park, has been abandoned this year on account of the war. Stephen Mortensen, of Southampton, Pa., visited Richmond, Ind., recently to see the new roses, Columbia and Pre- mier, growing at the establishment of E. G. Hill, Joseph Hill and Frederick H. Lemon.

Mums already are in lighter supply, but all the late varieties should be in for Thanksgiving and bring better prices. Some extra fancy show blooms of Eaton, Golden Wedding, Chad- wick and Jerome Jones chrysanthemums were seen last week, though Bonnaffon, white and yellow, seems supreme in this market. Pompons and spray mums, too, are in great variety and the demand for the light shades is large and at good prices.

Eoses have been in better demand this year during the mum season than ever before and there is not the usual glut. The quality of the stock seems better this season, especially in the Rus- sells, Columbias and Ophelias, the varie- ties that clean up daily. White Killar- neys also are in demand. Mocks, Beau- ties, Wards and Hadleys are not plenti- ful at present. Carnations are slowly 38 The Florists^ Review NOTBMBIB 21, 1918. increasing in quantity. There was a large supply of reds in the market all the week, with a slow demand. The Enchantress varieties are still slow in coming. There is a big demand for white carnations at $6 per hundred for the fancies. Violets were scarce all the week, the weather being too warm for them to bloom well, and it looks as if there will be no overproduction of these this sea- son. Easter lilies, valley and orchids are in demand, but are scarce. Common flat ferns are up to $4 per thousand and there are not enough to supply the de- mand. Smilax and asparagus sell well; also all other greens. Various Notes. The monthly meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club was not held November 14, owing to the ban on public meet- ings, but takes place this week at the headquarters, 1316 Pine street. A mum show will be held in connection with the meeting. The Lady Florists' Home Circle was entertained at the home of Mrs. George B. Windier, on Delore avenue, Novem- ber 13. Mrs. F. W. Bruenig will enter- tain the circle next month. Julius C. Steinhauser, of the Stein- hauser Florist & Nursery Co., Pitts- burg, Kan., spent the day in St. Louis September 14. While here Mr. Stein- hauser placed a large order for plants of the new Hill rose, Premier. He reports that business this season has been splen- did. The Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney flo- ral department has the decorations for the food show to be held at the Coli- seum. Julius Schaeffer will have charge. Joseph Hill, Richmond, Ind., H. G. Berning and J. J. Beneke visited the county growers November 15 and found the places in fine shape for the winter season. The officers of the Retail Florists' Association say they will call a meet- ing of that organization after Thanks- giving. Notices will be sent to the mem- bers of the time and place of the meet- ing, when efforts will be made to revive interest, so that monthly meetings may be held. The trade extends its deepest sym- pathy to the family of James Young, who died November 12. More extended notice will be found in the obituary col- umn of this issue. The Foster Floral Co. arranged a most attractive window display November 11, the day the signing of the armistice was announced. Twelve flying white doves, large vases of white mums and the na- tional colors were used. Charles Fullgraf, a member of the St. Louis Florists ' Club, writes from France that he has been made first lieutenant in the U. S. army and now has charge of the 323rd Labor Battalion, Forestry Division. He says that he is working near a chateau more than 400 years old, surrounded by woods through which the sun has not shone in twenty-five years. Joseph H. Hill, of the Joseph H. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., had a fine display of the new rose, Premier, in this city November 14 and 15. They were staged at the Henry G. Berning store and at- tracted many growers from nearby places. Among those who attended the exhibition were: J. F. Ammann, J. H. Blixen and Mr. Smith, Edwardsville, 111.; Charles Johann, Collinsville, 111.; Otto Bruenig, Hugo Werner, W. J.

The clean-up is in marked contrast to the situation a year ago, when we were swamped ■ with chrysanthemums and prices were absurdly low. There has been no glut of mums this season, and prices, compared with those of 1917, show a decided advance. Bonnaffon continues to be the leader, as it has been for twenty-five years.

About one-half the glass area will be closed down for the winter when mums are cut.

Among the varieties there are Prima Donna, Ophelia Supreme, Mrs. W. R. Hearst, Montrose, Martinette, Cleveland, Mrs. Stotesburv and Columbia, in addition to a number of standard sorts. Colum- bia is well liked and finds a ready sale. A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly, by careful selection has secured a remark- ably fine lot of Carnation Good Cheer, which realizes top market prices. Pink Delight, Laddie, Matchless, Benora and a glorified sport of Benora all look well. A batch of Lady Northcliffe is still grown. Only half the glass area has been planted this season by Mr. Pem- broke. In addition to fine carnations and chrysanthemums, C. B.

PURNE SNOW H1I.I^ MD. 44 The Florists^ Review NOTEHBBB 21. 1918. John McFarland, of North Easton, is one of the heaviest shippers of Bon- naffon mums to the wholesale markets. His flowers are large and of splendid quality. His house of poinsettias looks fine and bracts are well developed on some plants. A feeling of optimism prevails in cut flower circles with the ending of the war and everyone looks for good busi- ness the coming winter. Prices for flowers are much better than a year ago. Two prominent rose growers state that their returns are now averaging double those of a year ago. It now looks as though coal would be available in greater abundance and the outlook is distinctly improved. The Boston Floral Supply Co., Inc., joined in the nation-wide jubilation over the signing of the armistice, closing its doors early November 11 and grant- ing a holiday to its employees Novem- ber 12 as well. The democratic spirit which was everywhere manifest in the celebration of the joyful occasion was evidenced in the manner of commem- orating the great day here. President Samuel Kobinson accompanied the seventy-five employees and the office force to a performance at B. F. Keith's theater November 11, where all enjoyed together the entertainment which was one item in the program of festivities in which all participated in honor of the tidings of peace. A, E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, has some fine benches of stevia which will be in full flower for Thanksgiving. He is cutting white and yellow marguerites in quantity. W. N. C. Traverse City, Mich.— F. M. Paine, who has been in the florists' business here for more than twenty years, is dis- mantling his greenhouses. Portsmouth, Va.— The W. P. Cotton Floral Co., with headquarters here, has opened a branch store at Norfolk. Prox- imity to the Norfolk Navy Yard, Berke- ley and St. Helena Training Station and the naval hospital has made business good.

With the war practically ended, and a reduction in the demand upon the purses of the public for war charities in sight, the so-called patriotic econo- mies, among them the general discon- tinuance of the use of flowers, which have for some time been in evidence in a majority of the homes of the nation, should gradually disappear. If, as all who have followed the work of our publicity campaign and have been impressed with the beneficial re- sults obtained through it are glad to ad- mit, the movement of flowers has been greatly accelerated through the pub- licity gained in times when opposition to their use was everywhere painfully apparent, what should we expect when the people are free to enjoy the posses- sion and use of flowers and plants with- F.

Brown is manager, to supply illu- minating examples of the way to com- bine sentiment, pep and punch with the saving touch of humor, which Mr. Brown says should enter into all dis- play of which the appeal is addressed to the general public.

He quotes Mr. Brown as saying that "most florists fail to get their message across because they make the •WToag appeal. They advertise flowers as merchandise in a brass-tacky fash- ion. Not that the florist should disre- gard sound business principles, but in his dealings with customers the com- mercial features should be subservient. The owner of the modern flower shop is selling a professional service in which the artistic and sentimental play a prominent part." The use of flowers is always for the expression of sentiment. Whether it be an intimate domestic festivity to be cel- ebrated, a time of sorrow to be bright- ened, a joyous occasion to be beautified, a religious festival or a patriotic pag- eant to be glorified, the message of the flowers always makes its appeal to the emotions.

The florist need have no apprehension that he will suffer financially by this policy. It is a well known fact in com- mercial calculations that to arouse the sentiments is the surest way to loosen up the purse strings, as witness the methods of Liberty Loan workers. The appeal to patriotism on the one hand and to consideration for ' ' our boys ' ' on the other were the pleas that got the billions, not the references to the inter- est on the bond. Another example of the application of this principle was the issuing by the Gasser Co. of circular matter suggest- ing the use of flowers to commemorate domestic anniversaries which might be overlooked by the busy man of affairs.

At this time, when the national pub- licity campaign is under way and the opening of the new era of peace marks an epoch in the development of our business as well as in many other lines, it is pertinent for the florist to ponder seriously on this question of publicity, for it is one of primary importance at all times, but especially now in building for the new and larger prosperity which is predicted for the flower business by those who note the signs of the times. The florist must come to regard his work more in the light of its function as min- istering to the aesthetic tastes and less from the commercial standpoint, so far as publicity is concerned.

HIBBKRD Proprietor in regard to business methods, it is evi- dent that in times past the florists have been too lax, too easy-going, and one- of the things the war-time stress has taught the trade is the necessity for better system and more logical metliods of accounting and price-fixing. As it is apparent that the ])riccs of flowers must be increased to meet tlio increasing scale of expenditures in all lines, it will be necessary that special publicity be adopted as a concomitant of this ad- vancement in order to justify the ways of the trade to its clientele and to stim- ulate business as well, to take care of the stock that will be produced. Pub- licity is the dynamic of commerce and tlie florist must use it or yield to his competitor, who knows how to mix brains witli elbow grease. '♦WONDERFUL STUFF." What William F. Gude, of Washing- ton, calls "wonderful stuff" was a re- cent "funny," entitled "Keeping Up with the Joneses," by Pop, and run in many newspapers throughout the coun- try.

What effect will peace have on the de- mand for seeds for spring planting? The petition in bankruptcy filed Oc- tober 4 against the A. T. Boddington Co., New York, was dismissed November 12, on application of the creditora who filed it. The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal., has removed its wholesale and retail seed business from the old lo- cation on North Main street to 620 South Spring street. The catalogues for the southern trade will have to go on the press pretty soon; printers are not busy, but they are short- handed and a job takes longer now than a year ago, as well as costing more. Apparently the United States govern- ment will do what it can to stimulate food production in 1919. The idea may be Mr. Wilson's beneficent one of feeding the conquered fje, but it will not hurt the seed business. "The Growing of Broccoli Seed" was the subject of an address by C. W. Kruse, a seed grower of Oswego, Ore., before the State Horticultural Society of Oregon at its meeting at Roscburg, Ore., Novem- ber 5 to 7. Charles Dickinson, of the Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, was notified No- vember 16 that his stepson. First Lieut. Gordon Boyd, was killed in action in France November 5. Lieutenant Boyd had been in France since January. The Wholesale Seedsmen 's League held its annual meeting in New York Novem- ber 15. The secretary thinks nothing should be published regarding it, although the general impression is that the league's doings are not inimical to either the trade or tlie public interest. In the grass seed trade it is consid- ered that peace is a bull card and there has been, in fact, some advance in prices on timothy and redtop since the armistice was signed. The price of clovers already had readied such altitudes that it is ques- tionable if there is room for further as- cension. CANNERS SEE BIG YEAR. With practically all restrictions re- moved from the canning industry, the government already placing orders for 1919 delivery and the probability that the United States will be called on to supply a large portion of the world's food supply for some time to come, there was a feeling of optimism at the semi- annual meeting of the Western Canners' Association, held at the Hotel La Salle, Chicago, November 15 and 16. All the canners present reported a capacity sea- son and expected that the same condi- tions would prevail next year. Because of government restrictions, there were not the usual displays of seeds, but a number of seedsmen were on hand for the sessions. Among them were: Fred Lembke and H. A.

The end of the war has released to the seed trade many bag filling machines that had been requisitioned by the Sub- sistence Division of the U. S. Army Quartermaster's Department. These ma- chines were used for putting up rations, especially soluble coffee. The Brown Bag Filling Machine Co., Fitchburg, Mass., supplied nearly its entire output to the army and has had few for the trade. Now, however, the company an- nounces it is ready again to fill orders. NEWPORT, R. I. Horticultural Society.

J 74 The Florists' Review NOTBMBxa 21, 1918. fsifKf^ift,f^in.tmifiJ^ifi.(^in.Wn.f^in.f^ It Pacific Coast Department Watsonville, Cal. — H. A. Hyde, who is florist, bulb grower and nurseryman, says business is good in California this year in spite of the shortage of labor and the attendant high prices of every- thing. • Moneta, Cal. — At the Dean Iris Gar- dens money and tireless effort have been expended in the culture of standard and novel varieties of iris and the manage- ment reports that this flower is growing in favor, as shown by steadily increas- ing sales, and believes the time is not far distant when the iris will come into its own. Al^V3^\!i ^^^^^^ SAN DIEGO, CAL. The Market. Business is good, especially in funeral work. Chrysanthemums are almost gone, as it is impossible to keep the late varieties longer than November 15. Other stock is in fairly good supply. Various Notes. Notice of the death of Samuel Slack, rosarian at Balboa park, will be found in the obituary column of this issue. L. King Jjanier, of Chula Vista, who left the retail flower business to become a grower, is a busy man, as his 18-acre place shows. It is a pleasure to see him coming to town three or four times a week with his automobile loaded with choice flowers and greens. He does not have any trouble disposing of his stock to the retail stores. Besides growing flowers for the market, Mr. Lanier has ten acres planted to tomatoes, which were contracted for by the government. He grows a great quantity of Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus and next sea- son expects to put on the market about 130,000 seeds. The influenza situation is greatly im- proved here and the quarantine of Gamp Kearny has been lifted. San Diego celebrated the big victory November 11. It was the biggest dem- onstration in the history of the city and the most spontaneous. A. D. LOS ANGELES. The Market. There has been a little let-up in fu- neral work this week, owing to a lessen- ing death rate, but there still is consid- erably above the average along this line. Flowers for decoration and pres- entation are much in demand and the volume of business is keeping up well. Most kinds of stock are shortening up, good field-grown carnations especially, and the price has risen considerably. Eoses are fairly plentiful, but are not of extra good quality or color. Mums still are coming along freely, but the big supply is past and they doubtless will shorten up from now on. Dahlias are practically over, though a few are still coming. A nice line of blue cornflowers and delphiniums is being used in store decoration and there are a number of small flowers on hand. A few Paper Whites are in, but not enough to cut much figure. Various Notes. Harry Bailey, of Montebello, does not, as a rule, say much about his business, but speaking this week he said never in the history of his business has he had such good results as this year. Another instance of treating customers right. When Mr. Bailey kas not the stock his customers need he tells them so and they know what to expect. But of late he has; hence the big business. He also reports a fine new crop of plumosus and Sprengeri seed for the coming season. The Arthur Letts Botanical Garden, at Hollywood, is always an interesting place to visit and everything is in fine shape there now. Much of the new planting carried out last year is begin- ning to take shape and the large stock moved has, in most cases, stood the re- moval well. Carissa edulis is in bloom and the odor of the pretty white flowers is most pleasing. A plant of Dipladenia splendens in full bloom outside in No- vember shows the mildness of the sea- son, and there are many other beautiful things in flower. In the greenhouses the cattleyas are sheathing up well, and there are nice batches of begonias of the Lorraine types coming on for winter blooming. A. Hunt, the capable super- intendent, is to be congratulated on the appearance of the whole place, the more especially as labor has been scarce and difficult to obtain. A. Eyan, horticultural inspector for Alhambra, has been appointed to suc- ceed the late William Wood as county horticultural commissioner. A message from Phoenix, Ariz., re- ports Mrs. C. E. Morton as seriously ill. Mr. Morton also has been ill, suffering from blood poisoning from rose thorns. A wonderful new tomato is being shown by iPayne's Seed Store, the great-^ est cropper probably ever seen, and a fine looking fruit. Mr. Payne is offer- ing a prize for the best name for the newcomer. C. Gutting, proprietor of the Superior Nursery and Superior Dahlia Gardens, and Miss Gutting, his daughter, both have been down with infiuenza. Fred Sperry, Jr., son of Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., has contracted scarlet fever. He has been at a military school here, but is now with his mother, who is nursing him; so no doubt he soon will be all right again. Speaking of his season's business, Fred H. Allen, of Allen's Water Gar- dens, says it has been much the best since he has been in business, October being a banner month for the sale of cut flowers of water lilies, of which he has a large stock. Goldfish also are handled in large quantities and the stock is in fine condition. Mr. Allen is making his annual clean-up of the ponds now, and is preparing large shipments of plants. D. Stathatos, of the Broadway Flo- rist, ia improved somewhat in health, but still looks far from his usual form. Albert Goldenson reports big funeral orders daily. One day this week there were two palls among the orders. L. A. FLORAL CO.

Seattle witnessed November 11 the greatest celebration .in its history. Thousands of shipyard workers laid down their tools at 9 a. m. and marched in force through the main streets, gath- ering the throngs into the line of march until it seemed as if every man, woman and child in the city was on the streets. The demonstration continued through- out the d&y and up to midnight, when everybody started for home at the same time. Altogether it was the biggest day in the history of Seattle and will long be remembered. W. 8. Q. PORTLAND, OBE. The Market Portland has been a little more lucky than other cities in the matter of deaths due to influenza, but the busi- ness of the stores for the month of October and first half of November was similar to that of December. They all have been rushed and the hours, cut short by opening at 9 a. m. and closing at 3:30 p. m., made it difficult to get the woTk out. , . YaxUma Notes. ; ^ The Holdan Floral Co. is running its houses to full capacity and the stock is of excellent quality. A fine lot of pot plants, such as begonias, cyclamens, primroses, cinerarias, poinsettias and ferns, is seen. There also are good car- nations, including some promising seed- lings. The stores are having no trouble get- ting all the chrysanthemums they need, but indications are that there will be a shortage for Thanksgiving. Califor- nian pompons seen here are rather poor in quality. Martin & Forbes have a large dis- play of beautiful roses, Hadley and Ophelia being specially good.

The William Blackman Floral Co. re- ports that business is excellent. The company is having a nice cut of flowers, including roses and carnations. Walter Lent, of the designing force, was away on a fishing trip last week. George Blackman is still weak from the effects of the influenza. E. L. F. MHiWAUEEE. The Market. The weather so far this fall has been exceptionally good for the florists' busi- ness and there is absolutely no com- plaint to make on the volume of trade up to this time. The influenza epi- demic is over and, while it seemed that this caused the tremendously increased demand for stock, sales have not yet shown any shrinkage. If present con- ditions are any criterion, this winter and the following spring season should be as prosperous as any the trade has ever experienced. The supply of roses is normal, but the demand so far exceeds the crop that there is a continual shortage; the qual- ity is good and prices are excellent. Carnations are coming in more heavily from day to day and of course the qual- ity is gradually improving. The sup- ply, however, is still far short of the de- mand and, while indications point to a good crop for Thanksgiving, it seems impossible for the time to come when orders on this stock can be filled in a satisfactory manner. Chrysanthemums ara arriving in quantities, but, due to CHRISTMAS PLANTS We advise early ordering, as there is a very limited supply of good stock.

The local committee working on the Mention The Review when you write. Milwaukee County War Fund Campaign is enthusiastic and expects the florists to go over the top magnificently in this drive, which terminates November 20. Milwaukee, like every other city in the country, had two peace celebrations and November 11 was a holiday which was participated in by the florists gen- erally. It was one of the few holidays that did not bring the trade extra work, which usually keeps them from enjoy- ing the occasion. Orders for decora- tions should begin to materialize shortly, as the public seems inclined toward cele- brations. H. J. S. V - 80 The Florists^ Review NOTEMBBB 21, 1918. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. The supply of flowers is decreasing, while the demand is increasing. Chrys- anthemums, while still the leader in the market, are not overabundant. Other flowers have not increased greatly in quantity. With influenza beginning to rage again and other sickness prevalent, flowers are in co.nstant demand. The death rate again is becoming alarming. Thus a large quantity of flowers is util- ized for funeral work. Chrysanthemums are in attractive dis- play now and include spray varieties, pompons, baby, single and anemone sorts, besides the large types. All kinds and colors are popular. Roses are of good quality and equal in supply to the demand, but with none left over. Bussell and Ophelia are most in evidence, but numerous varieties are ' offered. Carnations remain scarce at $3 and $4 per hundred. Easter lilies are limited in supply. Bubrums also are scarce, while callas are becoming more plentiful. Sweet peas have just begun to put in their appearance. Other small flowers offered are violets, calendulas and snapdragons. Potted plants are meeting with a ready sale. They in- clude ferns, Jerusalem cherries. Chate- laine begonias. Primula obconica and a few cyclamens. Greens other than fern leaves have been short, but the latter have been adequate. Various Notes. Indianapolis, which has enjoyed the title of being one of the first in war, has also shown itself to be among the first in peace. Numerous peace celebra- tions and festivities have been in prog- ress since the signing of the armistice. The florists of the city have taken an active part in the rejoicing. Berter- mann Bros. Co. participated in the parade and showered flowers from its machine upon the marchers. Other members of the trade had in their win- dows attractive displays befitting the occasion. C. C. Thomas, of the Circle Flower Store, had one of the most ef- fective, it being a gorgeous array of chrysanthemums entwined with red, white and blue ribbons, with the flags of the Allied nations in the background and in the foreground the dove of peace. Edwin Mourner, of Shelbyville, has reopened his place. C. C. Thomas recently returned from a trip to Lafayette. O. E. Steinkamp spent the week-end in Bichmond. The Grande boys have just returned ■'ifrom a successful hunting trip in Brownsburg, Ind. The Reinken place has been converted into mushroom sheds and is run by Mrs. Gray. Company B of the Indiana State Militia recently gave a benefit ball at the Canoe Club. Several of the trades- men showed their generosity and pa- triotism by liberal donations of flowers, plants, etc., which were auctioned or sold and brought a nice sum for the company's fund. Baur & Steinkamp have started stick- ing carnation cuttings. Anyone wishing to see a beautiful dis- play of unusually fine stock should step around to John Bieman's. E. E. T.

The influenza ban, prohibiting public meetings, has just been lifted, Novem- ber 15, after having been in effect for five weeks, and business in all lines is showing a decided improvement, al- though there is not such a heavy demand for funeral work. Flowers for the sick and for impromptu social affairs have created an excellent demand, and busi- ness in the shipping line has been good. Roses are not so plentiful as they have been. There are practically no Eussells to be had, and Columbia also is short of requirements. Sunburst, Ophelia and Shawyer are in larger sup- ply, but carnations are noticeably on the short side, while chrysanthemums and pompons in quantities are coming into the market daily. Many varieties of mums which are supposed to be in their prime for the Thanksgiving trade are almost past their season now. It is expected, therefore, that there will be few mums in this section for Thanksgiving, and such as are offered will be in the larger sizes and higher priced blooms. A retailer remarked, "Thanksgiving will be almost unthink- able without chrysanthemums." The outlook for the trade for this holiday is especially encouraging. With peace coming just at this time, a greater de- mand is expected than usual. Violets and sweet peas are coming slowly and there is no noticeable increase in the supply of lilies, but mums are being used in their place for funeral sprays. There is a plentiful supply of cattleyas at good prices. The supply of green goods is more satisfactory than for some weeks. Various Notes. Miss Margaret Vesey, head of the Hostess House at Camp Taylor, Louis- ville, Ky., has just issued a report of the work accomplished during the last several months at this institution. Miss Vesey is ably assisted in this work by a number of young women, among whom is Miss Catherine Vesey, who has re- cently joined the house staff. She for- merly was nursing at the same camp during the influenza epidemic. The New Haven Floral Co. has had an excellent local demand, in addition to its out-of-town business, during the first half of the month of November. The local call was mostly for funeral arrangements. The crop of Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia and Mrs. George Shaw- yer is in excellent shape and the w whwa yon writa. Special Offer 7-in.

Greenhouse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Review to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best for the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. THE PRICE OF COAL. Should Be Reduced. When the United States Fuel Ad- ministration took hold of the coal situa- tion some fifteen months ago and estab- lished the prices that the mine operator could charge for the coal and the job- ber and retailer could take as their profits, it undoubtedly kept the price within more reasonable limits than would have been the case had the law of supply and demand been allowed to operate without hindrance. Last winter the price of coal was fixed, but there vras such a shortage that few industries other than those engaged in essential vrar work could get the fuel they needed. Then began the campaign of conserva- tion. Dr. Garfield, the Fuel Adminis- trator, set out to educate people to use coal economically. Many enterprises, among them the florists', were put on short rations of fuel and were told that in order to prevent a fuel famine this winter worse than that of a year ago, these limitations of consumption were necessary. The result has been that the ending of the war has found the country with an adequate supply of fuel, if not an oversupply. This situation has brought about a demand for the reduction of the prices fixed by the Fuel Administration, At the time these prices were made it was claimed by The Eeview and many other trade publications that they were out of proportion to the increased cost of production on which they were sup- posed to be based. The following edi- torial from a Boston newspaper shows how the general press is beginning to look at it: "No Famine, but Famine Prices." "It has come to be taken as a matter of course that when commodi- ties grow scarce prices shall go up, even when the articles in question have been bought far below the ruling quotations. The war has been made an excuse for cries of scarcity, and cries of scarcity have been made an excuse for war prices. "Dr. Garfield, a while ago, told the people of the United States repeatedly that they were face to face with a coal famine. His assistants notified those in certain localities that so short was to be the supply of coal that the lighting of fires for warming houses might have to be postponed until December 1. The price of coal was advanced to emphasize the gravity of the situation. It is now only the first part of November; those who could pay the price for coal have, as a rule, got supplies in their bins; the home fires have been burning, off and on, for several weeks; there is more coal in sight than the nation can use next winter, but there has been no lower- ing of the price.

"The schedule of prices for coal fixed by the government on the famine basis should be speedily smashed; there never was adequate excuse for the rates al- lowed; there is less excuse for them now than ever." DAVENPOBT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. The Markets. Trade kept up well last week and, while the principal call was for funeral work and bouquets for hospital patients, birthdays and wedding anniversaries came in for their share. Chrysanthemums at present hold the lead, as they come in such a variety of sizes, shapes and colors as to render them adaptable to any and all kinds of work, and we shall miss them when they are gone, which will be all too soon. Eoses are in short supply, as are lilies, and carnations are none too plentiful. This makes it look as though there would be a big shortage as soon as the chrysanthemums are gone. There were a few good potted plants on the market and some poor stock also, which did not move well. Club Meeting. The Tri-City Florists' Club met in regular session at the residence of C. 0. E. Boehm, superintendent of parks, Davenport, la., and the meeting was one of the best attended in years. The members made a tour of the greenhouses and found the display far ahead of that of former years, not so much in the qual- ity of the bloom, which has always been good, but in the arrangement of the plants, which showed a marked improve- ment over former years. The blooms will be given to the Red Cross society November 19 and 20, to be sold for the benefit of the Red Cross fund. President Pauli presided and the topic of the evening, "Efficiency and Con- servation in Greenhouse Work," was in- troduced by William Knees, Sr. A dis- cussion followed, in which the members participated. A question asked by Mr. Boehm as to the comparative value of fresh and rotted manure was answered in a satis- factory way by Ludwig Stapp, Rock Island, who seemed well versed on the subject.

Dear Mr. Zenke : Nothing pleases me more than to acknowledge that you were right when you praised up "New Plant Life" to me, and there couldn't be a better proof of it than my asking you to forward five more gallons just as soon as you can. The results obtained were most satisfactory to me; stunted, small bedding stock after about ten days began J^^o show new life and kept on improving. With the existing lack of help instead of giving thousands of 1-2 inch Geraniums a final shift, three light doses of ''New Life'' were applied and I am more than pleased with the outcome.

Bui-FALO, N. Y. The Market. During the last week the demand has not kept up with the supply. The rea- son for this is that carnations, violets and roses again are arriving in good supply and of course the mums have the call until Thanksgiving. By all indica- tions it would appear that after the day of the chrysanthemum, the stock arriv- ing will all be taken up at good prices. The surplus now is slight compared with the same time last year. Good pompons and mums have the preference, but there is little poor stock on the market. The light-colored flowers are taken up for use in floral work, so really all there is left is odd colors. The roses arriving are good, though Sunburst during the last two weeks has come in with light heads and weak stems. American Beau- ties drag. They have given way almost entirely to fancy chrysanthemums. Some of the growers are bringing in good carnations, but as yet much of this stock is short-stemmed and small-flow- ered. Lately the supply of Easter lilies has been such that one has been able to get some without leaving an order a week ahead. Various Notes. S. A. Anderson was chosen by a large majority for county treasurer. Mr. An- derson 's campaign was conducted on the principle of "A business man for a busi- ness position." The people will not be disappointed in this respect, for Mr. An- derson surely is a business man and the trade is glad to have him in office. L. H. Neubeck has had a larger chrys- anthemum trade this fall than in any past season. Mr. Neubeck had most of the early varieties and they came in just at the time when they were most needed. Karl Butz, his grower, reports that he has a fine lot of cyclamens, which will take the cake after Thanksgiving. F. P. A. LOUISVILLE, KY. The Market. All kinds of stock are coming in and most of it is in fair condition. Ophelia roses are of excellent quality, as are Sunburst. American Beauties are good but scarce. Carnations are coming in and they bring good prices. Calendulas are in great demand and are of fair qualuy. Bouvardia and valley seem to be in "the lead for corsage work, with orchids and violets in combination. Or- chids are short of the demand. Chrys- anthemums are unusually fine and are coming in quantities. Few blooming plants are seen on the market. Various Notes. Mrs. F. M. Brownewell, wife of Mr. Brownewcll, designer for the Jacob Schulz Co., is ill at her home on West- ern parkway. The Jacob Schulz Co. is busy these davs with landscape work. Adam Heitz had good luck last week in shooting a number of rabbits. We are pleased to report that Mrs. Heitz is improving in health. Since the glad news of peace was re- ceived, all the florists have had many orders for decorations and corsage work. Funeral work has held up consider- ably during the last week. Shipping work and telegraphic orders are keeping the florists busy. L. K.

Opinions .iiflCr .-is to the dt'sl luetivo- iit'.'^s of tlic iiiiHcpt'dcs, nr tliousand- IcorjTo,! Moriiis. In n liullctiii issued by the :M:iiyl;ind A;,Micnltui;il Experiment Station, it is inaintaiiieil tli.at tlie insects are not in the ii;il,it of fce.lin^r upon healthy plant tissue an.l seldom attack the stems of plants, but subsist chiefly oil manure. .l millepeibs' m;indibles. or .laws, are not stroiij,' eiKuiffh to bite of!' hard j)arts of plant tissue, l»ut the food must be soft enou(,di to be scrajjed up. _ IIo\\e\('r. it is admitted m the bulle- tin that the millejiedes occasionally molest sproutinji seeds and may be starved intu attackino the tender roots of som(^ jd;ints, damaging them to a limited extent. And there is no doubt tliat the insects are dis.agreeable, iiinvel- come tenants when numerous. So the Maryland A;,M-icultural K.xiiei iinent Sta- tion undertook a series of tests of va- rious methods of controlling the pest, with residts that are here summarized. Certain \ri,'ctables, su(h as j^datocs and carrot.*, are of the right texture to suit the creatures' requirements and are. among their fa\oritc foods. Hence, in badly infcsteii houses, if slices of ])ota- toes or carrots art! jdaced on the beds in the evening, the under surfaces •will lie found covered with millepedes the following morning. A better way is to place the bait in ;i small dejjrcssion in- stead of on the surface and cover the hoh> with a llower jtot or some such con- venient object. Su(di tr;»[is will often lie found jiartly tilled with mille|)edes, which \\\\\ rtni;iin in these sheltered [daces throughont the day instead of re- treating to their galleries, as is their PROOF is to ask tlic man that turns the wlicel.

'Nrillejtedes collected in this manner can bo destroyed with boil- ing water, kerosene or nicotine, or can sim|dy be removed with a trowel and crushed. W. E. liritton, state entomolo- gist of Connecticut, recommends that a hole be cut in a potato and the tuber buried in thi> soil. .1. K. Sanders' de- scrilu's a niidhod cmi)loyed in the green- houses in Wisconsin; thin slices of car- rots are placed under boards, and the niillepedt's collected under tlu'in are ciuslieotato were dusted with powdered arsenate of lead, Paris green or \Yhite arsenic, but the millepedes fed on them only sparingly, and none could be found that had been injured by the jtoison. Su(di a method might i>rove more effective where the humus is not so abundant in the soil. Experiments with tobacco ])roducts show that they are ])robably the best material for the control of the green- house millepede. Tobacco Dust. Tobacco dust s[)rinkled ou the beds at the rate of ."iOU pounds to the acre, or about one ounce tcj each nine square fe(d, ju'o\ed f.'iiriy efVi'ctive. On the day following suidi a treatment .about idghty- live per cent of the milleitedes on the beds were dead, although some appar- ently noiinal indi\ iilu.'ils were moving ai'fiund through the dust. Of the mille- pedes btdow the surface, only about live ]ier cent were dead. Specimens were as numerous on the treated bench as on the check ]dot. Two days later no mille- jpe found on the surface, and the nundier in the soil was about half of th(! number found in the check plots. No more dust was a])plied and in a week conditions on the treated ]dot were again normal. On another pbd a secoioi dosage w;is given thret; days after the tirst, with the result that at the end of the week only about live per cent of the former nundur remained. In a third experiirunt the tobacco ilust ^vas worked into the soil instead of being mercdy spiinkled on the surface, 'i'lie following morning one nnllejiede w.as found \valking o\er the surface ami four dead ones were dug up from below the surface.

A few days later milleiiedes were again found on the treated jilot and by the end of a week the infestation was normal. ir. A. Gossard, state entomologist of Ohio, writes of a large swarm of mille- jiedes that were injuring cucumbers: *'An .abundance of tobacco dust was used as a mulch about the ]dants and ^jvithin a day or two the millepedes H-ould be c(dlected from the concrete tloors by the hundred thousands." In acldition to its insecticidal value, tobacco dust is said to have some value as a fertilizer. Nicotine Solutions. l'ort_\- per cent nicotine sulphate is one of the best remedies to be used against the millepedes. It can be ap- jdied with good results at strengths \arying from one part to 7;"tO i)art3 of water to one part to 1,UUU parts of w;iter. Notes on exjieriments with this substance, diluted at the rate of one ]i:irt of nicotine sulphate to 1,OOU parts of water and aiiplied with a watering can until the s(nl of the beds was thor- oughly dreiK lied, show that aliout ninety ]per cent of the milleiiecles were killed by the ti-eatnient. Nearly every mille- pede within three inches of the surface was killed, but below that depth they were .apiiarcntly unharmed. Practically the same results were se- cured from "forty j>er cent nicotine solu- tions as wire secured from the nicotine sulphate. In the application of nicotine solu- tions caie should be taken that all of the soil is well drencheil with the ma- terial. A light spraying will only be efl'ective to a dejdh oi' about three-quar- ters of an inch below the surface, but if enough of the solution is j)ut on the be^nierican Greenliouj-e Manufacturing Co., Chicago G M C D t Q ][ D 1 t\ G M C D t Q I D i G n C D i D A B M C D ft Q I Q e ft A G M C D ft D I D % G M C D ft Q I Q — It's no you cannot buy an q AGMCO House! — not unless you buy it directly from the manufacturer, because — WANTED A Second-hand AGMCO Anything from one small house to 300,000 feet of glass. Not particular as to terms or price. Address A. GROWING GROWER. Glassville. 111. Owners of AGMCO houses are not selling them. They are keeping them and buying more like them. And if they had to sell because of death, they wouldn't advertise — because there's a list of buyers waiting. Search the For Sale ads in this paper — check them up week after week. You'll never find an AGMCO in the whole lot. What's the reason? Just this: There are only three kinds of people that buy AGMCO houses. FIRST, those people who have already made a success of the gi-owing business, know greenhouses, and are willing to invest enough money to get a house they can depend on under all circumstances. These people get AGMCO houses because they want to become even more successful, and they want this increased success to be assured. SECOND, people who have so far not been conspicuously successful but who want to become absolutely and unriualifiedly successful. and shrewd has done for others, and they know that what A(iMCO houses can do for others they can also do for them. These people are keen enough, wide-awake enough to see what the ownership of AGMCO houses enough THIRD, those who are just starting in the growing business but who are thoroughgoing enough business men to know that a right start is more than half the battle. Look at the matter from any angle, approach it from any point, slip up on it on the blind side if you can. You will tind one fact, a monumental fact, staring you in the face. It is that — the ownership of AGMCO houses stamps you as a leader. —and as soon as you bear this stamp you will find yourself acting the part, and you will find that other members of the trade, as if by a tacit understanding, accord you the posi- tion, privileges and prerogatives of a leader. Now you l)elong to one or tlie other of these classes or you wouldn't have read this far. if you belong to the hrst class you are anxious to remain in it. If you're in the second class you want to graduate into the first. Let us tell you how it's done. All we want is a letter nam- ing the time, the place and the man to see. —when, where and who?

Our business now is not confined to the re- tail end, but we do a large wholesale trade. ' ' With the exception of the show case, of candy and the table of stationery, it will be noticed that besides the flow- ers and plants all the other kinds of merchandise displayed are those that will be found in a majority of flower stores. There are jardinieres, vases and baskets, all flower store accessories, while all the available spaces in the store are used to display flowers. Incidentally it seems that Mr. Bartcher is a versatile man. Before en- tering this business he was a foreman in a cabinet shop and when he planned the new store he built all the fixtures himself. Small Beginnings the Rule. Small beginnings have been the rule rather than the exception in the flower selling business. The successes are usually the result of a steady growth from a modest start, brought about by good management and the constantly in- creasing demand for flowers. Some have started as did Henry Penn, in Boston, selling flowers on the streets, progress- ing through the stages of a street stand and a hallway booth into high-priced stores on prominent business corners. Others, like Charles H. Grakelow, Phila- ctelphia, started in the front room of a residence. The careers of many men in the florists' business are as romantic as those of the so-called captains of in- dustry, who have risen from laborers to directors in the world's largest busi- ness affairs. That something that is called "busi- ness instinct," with which most of the successful retailers were born and which a few have acquired, is as necessary in managing a flower store as a department store. Statistics show that not more than one in five who start in business succeed in keeping away from failure; undoubtedly this percentage holds good in the flower business. Many Make Quick Success. But it is doubtful if any business has seen more rapid successes than that of selling flowers at retail. The small start with flowers, whether they be a side line or the leading feature of the busi- ness, quickly accomplishes one of three things — it rapidly makes the proprietor prosperous; makes him satisfled to con- tinue for his board and keep, or he goes or is put out of business. Apparently there is required greater business acumen in retailing such perishable stock than in doling out the staples. Quick thinking, astute buying and be- ing on the job all the time are what count in the flower business. Which leads to the belief that a man who is successful in business should hesitate about taking on flowers as a side line, unless he wants to devote his entire time to managing that phase of his activities. Also they are liable to push his original business right out the back door and leave him with nothing except one of the most alluring busi- nesses in the world on his hands. THE RESTRICTIONS ARE OFF nri«r;r)rsvifrstir)«vir?stir?wr)«virrsviri«\irrsvir)«vifr^ BUILDING BAN LIFTED. Official Announcement. The State Councils of Defense have been notified of the removal of the re- maining restrictions on nonwar construc- tion throughout the United States, and building operations of any character suspended by the war may now be re- sumed without further permits. Chair- man Baruch, of the War Industries Board, has announced: "Immediately following the signing ■of the armistice November 11, tlie non- war construction section took steps to loosen the restraints on the [building] industry, and in a formal order issued that day removed a great many of the barriers. Since then, and with a view to assisting the industry back to a com- plete peace basis as quickly as possible, a careful canvass has been made of the conditions in each state with respect to building materials, transportation, and the supply of fuel and labor. "In this investigation the nonwar construction section sought the views of the industry itself and of tlie State Councils of Defense. The replies re- ceived, coming from practically all the states, showed a unanimous opinion in favor of such action.' ' Plans and Prospfects. With the removal of the ban on build- ing operations, many in the trade will take heart of grace and proceed with the development of postponed plans for the construction of new greenhouses or the remodeling and improvement of old ranges. The construction program which will be a feature of the dawn- ing post-bellum era will be the means of enabling many in the trade to "carry on" as they could not do under war- time restrictions, to which all submitted willinply as necessary to win the war. Now that the great desideratum is an accomplished fact and normal conditions are being restored as fast as practicable, the trade may look forward to a realiza- tion of the enlargement which has been confidently predicted for the future. With fuel restrictions practically a thing of the past and labor troubles soon to be removed by the return of troops in the process of demobilization, and the release of labor due to cancellation of war contracts, the removal of the ban on building operations predicates the resumption of activities which will put the trade in a position to prepare for the expansion which the unprecedented war-time demand for flowers assures. The handicaps of the stressful time are being lifted one by one and it would seem that the return to a normal basis of operations will be marked by even more than prewar prosperity for the trade, if present indications are to be taken as a gauge of future conditions. Readjustment. The time required for the processes of readjustment will afford opportunity for the florist to observe the signs of the times and to coordinate means and materials as they become available to the uses of the new order, which in many respects will differ from the old, and the lessons learned during the stress of war-time upheavals will stand him in good stead in the exigencies of the re- construction period. COAL STORAGE LIMIT OFF. All storage restrictions on bituminous coal were removed November 23 by the United States Fuel Administration in conformity to the action of the War Industries Board in canceling its pref- erential industries list. Anthracite coal is not affected, however, by the ruling of the Fuel Administration. Every industry and every householder in the country now may store as much bituminous coal as desired or obtainable, as the action of the War Industries Board removes the necessity for the Fuel Administration to distinguish long- er between different classes of indus- trial plants. The restrictions just raised provided for the accumulation by the consumers in the preference classes, as defined by the War Industries Board, of reserve stocks of bituminous coal, in accordance with their location in relation to various mine fields and their classification on the preference schedule. All industries located farthest from distribution points, particularly those in New England and in the northwest, are found not only to be well stocked, in accordance with Fuel Administration specifications, but in many cases have surpluses above those amounts. HOLIDAY BAR REMOVED. The movement inaugurated several weeks ago by the National Council of Defense to discourage the people of the country from buying other than neces- sities, or "common-sense Christmas presents," and urging that what buying would be done should be scattered through the intervening months so as to eliminate the demand of the stores for extra clerks to handle the crowds, lias been halted. Now the National Council of Defense takes the other view and urges that the holiday buying be normal. The end of the war, of course, has re- leased many thousands from doing es- sential war work. A great number of these, under the "work or fight order," had come from the departmenx and other retail stores. Now they are no longer needed by the government and will re- turn to their former positions. Few flower stores suffered the loss of clerks through the work or fight order, but many of the young men have gone from these establishments into the army. However, there is a good chance that many of them, who got no farther than the training camps, will be back on the job to help out in the Christmas rush. The removal of the ban on Christmas shopping will be hailed with satisfaction NOVBMBBB 28, 1918.

S^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ii?svir?s\T?sv(r7svir?s\ir?*^rr*A-; BUDDUBIA ASIATICA. The graceful, pure white, sweetly scented Buddleia asiatica is now coming into favor in greenhouses where no ar- tificial heat has been afforded as yet. It is one of our most valuable forcing plants and, whether used as a decorative plant or for cutting, it fills a place such as few plants fill at this season. It propagates so easily, makes such a large plant in a single season, blooms so abundantly and is so graceful and fra- grant that almost every florist should grow it. The name "white winter lilac" has been given it, but this is something of a misnomer, as it in no re- spect resembles a lilac. By keeping the plants cold they may be retarded so as to flower as late as the spring exhibi- tions. No other decorative plant, not even excepting the acacia, is more ef- fective in groups than Buddleia asiatica. SFIKSAS. Supplies of spiraeas probably will be late in arriving. When they do come to hand, soak them well and expose them to one or two good freezings before pot- ting them up. It will not pay to start forcing any of the new stock for some time, but cold storage stock will be serviceable if started now. I have ad- vocated the growing of more spiraeas at home. Plants from which the flow- ers have been taken can be cut in two or three pieces and planted out in good soil. The second year they will have made fine clumps, far ahead of the im- ported stock. I find a rather low piece of ground is best adapted for their culture and that vastly better clumps can be produced at home than are im- ported. This is true not only of the varieties in common culture, like japon- ica, Gladstone, Queen Alexandra and as- tilboides, but of all the newer pink and lavender varieties. These outdoor cl mps are being dug now and laid in a coldframe, where they will be well frozen before being potted. Every coun- try florist should plant out his left- over spiraeas and not throw them away. We have always been far too wasteful with these and other plants. WINTER-FLOWERINQ BEGONIAS. Now that there are moderate fires and the sand in the cutting bench has be- come genially warm, it is time to in- sert a good-sized batch of any of the winter-flowering begonias, such as Glory of Cincinnati, Melior, Mrs. Peterson and Gloire de Lorraine, as well as the larger and more brilliant English hybrids of the Mrs. Heal and Optima types. Select firm, well developed leaves and let the leaf stalk be of good length. Insert the cuttings so that they will just touch one another. The sand should be new and of good porosity. If it is too fine, add charcoal, coal ashes or even coal, to make it more porous. Careful watering and a steady bottom heat are essential to successful propagation of begonias from leaf cuttings. STOCK IN THE COLDFRAMES. It is unwise to cover plants, either outdoors or in frames, too early. More plants are killed annually by too ear: covering than by anything else. The ground should be frozen stiff befor such winter protection is afforded the case of coldframes where such plants as daisies, pansies, forget-me- nots, violas, young perennials and a va- riety of other hardy or half hardy plants are stored, there is no covering so good as perfectly dry leaves laid loosely over the plants, with sashes placed over the leaves to prevent the latter from be- coming damp. Given this covering and some matchboard shutters to prevent the snow from breaking the glass, and any of the plants named will winter perfectly. Some ventilation should be afforded during mild weather to prevent sweating. Pine needles make a good winter covering, while hay and straw also can be used, but leaves have proved the finest mulch of all, and are usually available in quantity. POINSETTIAS. We have had a remarkably open fall to date, with comparatively few cold nights, and plants in nnlieated green- houses were in excellent condition No- vember 18. Some houses which were to have been closed will be operated now, thanks to the ending of the war and the improvement in the fuel outlook. Poin- sottias now are developing their bracts and now is the time they demand some warmth and judicious feeding. They do well in a minimum "of 55 degrees, althoug?!, if watered carefully, they will open out all right if kept 5 degrees cooler. Too much care can hardly be taken now in watering them. To have salable plants, green foliage is neces- sary. Too much or too little water at this season soon will cause yellow leaves to appear. Use weak liquid manure once in four or five days while the bracts are developing. A little soot with cow ma- nure makes an ideal liquid dressing. Be sure to avoid heavy applications, which will speedily cause loss of foliage. heX )raf IiA ,;, SHRUBS FOR FORCING. With the probable ending of importa- tions of plants adapted for forcing, we shall be dependent on our own resources for such forcing stock as lilacs, deutzias, prunus, Crataegus, etc. Here again there has been a deplorable waste of material. Unsold or sparsely flowered plants have been at once consigned to the dump, when, if planted in the field or garden, they would make the finest kind of forcing stock, in some cases the follow- ing spring and in others a year later. Left-over lilacs, if well headed back, make grand forcing stock in two sea- sons, better than any we have been able to buy. The same holds good of labur- nums and a number of other standard deciduous forcing shrubs. Dig up and carefully pot or tub any available plants now and place them in a cool cellar or shed before the weather becomes too in- clement. Any of these shrubs which have not been planted out more than a couple of years make splendid stock for forcing. We have grown roses in this way; there is no reason whatever why we cannot propagate and grow our own shrubs for forcing. !i^i^i^iv?y[^ixsy[iS^iiSi]t>S4itxsa[^iiSi^ HELPERS COMING BACK X ir?wrrsviri«virrsviri«xir)rsvir)«vi!7sxir«virirstir)«tir^ WAR ORDERS CANCELED. Savings Effected. With a view to conforming industrial conditions as rapidly as practicable to a peace basis, the government has or- dered the cancellation within the next thirty days of war contracts estimated to aggregate a total of $6,000,000,000. The projected annulment is said to cover one-fourth of the war program laid out for the year. By virtue of readjust- ments taking place as a result of the efforts of the different departments to eliminate expenditures rendered un- necessary by the cessation of hostili- ties, savings have been effected which are said to amount to something like $2,000,000,000, the size of the figure indicating that every line of industry will be affected in some degree. The cancellation edict applies to orders placed and not to goods in process of manufacture, but, even so, it means a curtailment of certain industries which have given employment to vast numbers. An order promulgated November 11 for- bids all overtime and Sunday work. This order alone is expected to effect a saving of $700,000. From whatever viewpoint the matter is regarded, these orders cannot fail to have far-reach- ing effects. It is evident that the country is face to face with the disloca- tions incident to the reconstruction period. "Ring in the New." Cancellation of war orders means that for a time many of the wage earn- ers, who have enjoyed a period of un- precedented prosperity due to the high scale of wages paid in the war indus- tries, will be under the necessity of seeking employment in other lines of industry. It will take time to bring about a redistribution of labor, but meantime every employer, every indus- try, including the florists', is calling distractedly for help. That the labor employed on government contracts will be absorbed back into its accustomed vocations in the shortest time possible no one conversant with the situation can reasonably question. The business 16 The Florists^ Review November 28, 1918. man ■will improve the opportunity to provide for the activities of the busy days ahead, whcMi the United States will be called uj)on to supply food and various other necessities and commodi- ties to the peoples of Europe, as well as to take care of domestic roquiroiiients. The immense tasks assigned the United States in the counsels of the nations afford ample assurance that there will be work for all and that money will bo moving in a steady stream into the coffers of our industrial enterprises and so into the pockets of the people. The reconstruction period is not a time to be dreaded, even if it docs bring about dislocations and inconveniences, for it is the inevitable preface to the better times to come. Good Times Coming.

LEAF-EATING PESTS. We are sending you a few leaves from a rose plant that has been eaten by a small, dark brown bug about the size of a bean weevil. We have had no previous experience with this insect. We have been unable to check its rav- ages with nicotine and would like to know what will exterminate it. A. F. C— Mo. An adhesive poison spray is necessary to clean out leaf-eating pests of this character. Spray witli arscnrito of load in the proportion of one pound of paste to twelve and one-half gallons of water, or one pound of dry lead to twenty-five trade during October brought large re- turns to the florists and prepared them to meet the exigencies of the recon- struction period, whatever form they may take. The growers, the wholesal- ers and the retailers alike will welcome back to their accustomed tasks the help so sorely missed during the time of its removal to serve our country's need in military service or industrial employ- ment. The large class of workers which for the first time has become a flower-buy- ing clientele constitutes a new source of custom which can be counted upon in addition to the regular patronage of the trade, in the after-time when things settle down again to the solid basis of prosperity assured by the markets opened to our wares of all classes throughout the world. gallons of water. This spray will whiten and slightly disfigure the foliage. It will not burn it, however, and will clean out any leaf-eating pests I have met with, either under glass or outdoors. I use it by the ton annually and can guarantee it. C.W. PROTECTING HARDY ROSES. A year ago the ground froze up so early that it caught numerous growers with their roses and other plants un- ]irotccted. It is hoped that the com- ing winter may be less severe than its ]iredecessor, but of tliis there can be no certainty and now while the ground is soft is tlie ideal time for hilling up the rftses. There is no better method of pro- tecting roses than with mother earth it- self. Particularly is this true of hybrid jierpetuals like Frau Karl Druschki, Magna Chart a, ^Mnie. Gabriel Luizot, Mrs. .Tohn Laing, Taul Ncyron, Mrs. Sharman-Crawford and othfis of this type. If the plants have been pruned back hard as suggested each spring in tlio cultural columns of Tlie Review, it will not be difticult to cover a few eyes of the last season's growtli. If this is done, no matter how severe the winter, it is tolerably certain there will be some live wood to jirune back to in the spring. Hybrid teas can bo earthed up in the same manner and, if the land where they grow is well drained, they should winter well. Tie up the shoots into a fairly tight cane before hilling up. Let the ground freeze hard and then place some strawy manure, straw or meadow hay over the loam. I do not recom- mend these latter mulches as safe in themselves. Too often they are apjilied while the ground is soft and field mice tunnel below them and raise havoc witli the plants. If hybrid teas are growing in positions ex])Osed or where water may collect in winter, the best plan is to dig them up and bury them in a cold- frame or outdoors where no water can stand and where a mulch of straw or hay can be placed over them when ex- tremely severe weather sets in. In the case of rambler roses in cold latitudes where winter killing often oc- curs, I would advise laying down the canes and throwing a little loam over them to hold them in position, giving them a mulch of straw, hay or leaves. Usually the snow mulch suffices to keep the canes in good condition. This is much easier than wrapping the canes in straw and much safer. Do not be afraid to plant hardy roses, even at this late date. I have done this work just before applying the winter protection for a number of years and have lost few plants of either hybrid teas or hybrid perpetuals. ROSES FOR SPRING SALES. What is the best method of handling roses that are now in 2^/^-inch pots? I want to sell them next spring. K. P. & T. F.— Pa. It would be useless to shift these plants at present. You do not state whether they are hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas or polyanthas (baby ram- blers). You might keep them over the winter in a cold house just clear of freezing, or plunge them in a coldframe and fill the space above them with dry leaves to exclude frost, placing tight sashes over the frames to keep off rain or snow. About the end of February if you wish you can give the plants a shift into SVi; or 4-inch pots. If you want larger sized plants, place them at that time in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees. If you intend to sell them in the present pots, the best plan would be to store them in coldframes or in a frostproof cellar or pit. C. W. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Department of Registration.

Goodhew, of the Goodhew Floral Co., Ann Arbor, Mich., died at Camp Custer, near Battle Creek, Mich., October 13, of pneumonia, which fol- lowed an attack of influenza. He was in the service just ten weeks, being a member of the Headquarters Company, 41st Field Artillery. Mr. Goodhew was in the florists' business practically all his life, being associated with his father, J. W. Goodhew. Three years ago he and his sister, Miss Mabel E.

Fourteen miles from Cleveland on South Woodland road is situated the Daisy Hill Farm, a 2,500-acre tract owned by the Van Swerigens, wealthy real estate men, which is of no particu- lar interest, however, to florists. But, nestled among the hills at a point where, from the rugged nature of the surrounding country, one might expect to sight a herd of deer, is located a range of Lord & Burnham and Foley greenhouses which has made the place justly famous. They are presided over by Paul Backofen, a name synonymous with the best of everything in flowers. Eoses, carnations and chrysanthemums, followed by sweet peas, are the special- ties. The stock is marketed in Cleve- land and is eagerly sought by a multi- tude of discriminating buyers, because of its rarely good quality. Here may be found the happy union of a range of modern construction, abundance of fer- tile soils, skillful growing and up-to-date methods, the blending of which inevi- tably spells success. Though off the beaten path of travel, it is worth a half day's journey to visit this most inter- esting establishment. Mac. CABL HAGENBUBOES. The name of Carl Hagenburger is in- separably connected with articles of sterling merit and there are few men more devoted to their chosen calling. He truly loves his work and, as proof thereof, we need only point to his splen- did solanums, which are now being mar- keted in immense quantities. So great is the demand that other specialties have had to be discontinued. The use of printers' ink has played an important part in popularizing these fine creations, and serves to illustrate what can be done in this direction. Although a busy man, Mr. Hagenbur- ger finds time to attend important trade gatherings, and is always sufficiently interested to take active part in the proceedings. He is a vice-president of the American Carnation Society and it was chiefly through his efforts that the annual meeting of that national body was secured for Cleveland in January, 1919. As the war-time president of the Cleveland Florists' Club, his work dur- ing that trying period was characterized by energy and devotion to duty. A little journey to Mentor is incomplete unless it includes a call upon this plant wizard, at whose place the latchstring is always out. Mac. C. MEBEEL tc SONS. Mentor is known in history as the home of the martyred President Gar- field; the location of C. Merkel & Sons there places it upon the trade map. And it is destined to increase in importance, too, because of the noteworthy spirit of enterprise rampant in that ever increas- ing concern. Few trade visitors come to the Sixth City that do not go to the Merkel range, for the simple reason that there is al- ways something worth-while there to see. The crops are not only superbly grown, but the methods are worthy of emulation. The commonplace is dis- carded for the new and meritorious, re- sulting in greater satisfaction and profit, a procedure too little practiced by com- mercial florists. At present the tendency is in favor of cut flowers as against the vast quanti- ties of plants of previous years. The stock is sold direct to the retailer. The major part of it is shipped, but deliv- eries are now being made in Cleveland by truck. Steadily the output is becom- ing a greater factor in the supply of the local market. The elder Merkel is ably assisted by his three stalwart sons, whose intelli- gent and constant application and ability to work well in double harness have made their goodly measure of progress possible. Cooperation is the keynote of the place, which augurs well for a great future. Mac. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. Peoria, 111. — The final meeting of the creditors of D. U.

We would like to know if any of the growers back east have heard of Iron- ite, which is said to make everything grow better and faster. We doubt if you have, because, if so, we feel sure that we would have heard about it be- fore November 18, when Professor A. Miller, of the National Tree and Remedy Co., of Denver, Colo., made us a visit and explained to us all about Ironite, which he said, if used in the soil at the rate of two pounds to 100 square feet every ninety days, will make it possible to leave the soil in the benches for any length of time, and not that only, but it will make plant growths stronger and less subject to disease. It also elimi- nates splits in carnations. Now, we do not doubt Professor Mil- ler's word, but we oould not but lament that a labor-saving product like this was not offered at the time when we had to contend with a labor shortage such as never before. And we wondered that those growers who, according to Pro- fessor Miller, have used Ironite for a number of years, did not lend a helping hand to their fellows by letting them know about this labor-saving stuff. We, at least, never saw anything of the kind mentioned in The Review, even though Professor Miller told us that growers like Bassett & Washburn, Poehlmann Bros. Co. and others are using it exten- sively in their ranges. If anybody acquainted with Ironite will enlighten us through the columns of The Review, we shall appreciate it. Glenrose Greenhouses. The Review has heard of Ironite a number of times, but it has not been able to obtain the street address of the con- cern putting it out, although an inquiry has been published asking readers to supply the information. The U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, which issues fertilizer licenses as a war measure, ad- vises that no license has been issued to Miller or the National Co., that Ironite is unknown to the bureau in charge and that its representatives are anxious to meet Mr. Miller.

Will The Eeview or some retail florist give us a little help? What do they do in the matter of charging for the boxes in which they deliver flowers and de- signs f When we receive cut flowers from the wholesaler the boxes always are charged for, usually at from 60 cents to 85 cents each, but does any retailer make a charge when he in turn makes shipments? One day last week we shipped to one customer at one time thirteen boxes and we made no charge for the boxes. They contained sprays and designs. We shall appreciate any ideas expressed on this subject. J. U. M. — Miss. It is trade custom for wholesalers to charge the cost of P. & D. on ship- ments of cut flowers and, since the cost of doing business began to rise under the influence of the war, plantsmen have adopted the custom, which always has been in vogue in Europe. The buyer may be perfectly certain that if there is no charge for P. & D. the seller 's price is high enough to absorb the item — the buyer pays just the same. So far as records go, retailers never have charged for the boxes used on sales to the pub- lic; the retail price is high enough to cover the cost. The reference to sending thirteen boxes to one customer leads to the thought that this may have been a sale to an undertaker or other agent. Unless the cost of packing is covered by the selling price there is only one reason why P. & D. should not be passed along to the agent. The one reason is that the agent might transfer his patron- age to some other florist. It might be in order to get the florists of your locality together for a little discussion of trade customs and perhaps they all will make a small charge to agents for P. & D., or they might reduce the under- taker's commission, which would amount to the same thing. Of course the florist uses the same boxes that he receives from the wholesaler and a legitimate charge would not exceed the actual cost of the boxes as represented by the whole- saler'a bill. DOUBLE CYCLAMEN. I am enclosing with this inquiry two photographs of a cyclamen seedling in a 6-inch pot. It shows the flowers to be quite double and as a matter of fact each bloom has from ten to sixteen well formed petals. I do not remember ever to have seen or heard of cyclamens grow- ing double in this way. Do you think it possible that this plant would mature seed? Would the variety be of any com- mercial value if it could be propagated? Is there any method of propagating cyclamens by dividing the tubers in the event of seed not being formed? The plant photographed was grown from seed taken from an ordinary plant with single flowers. The color is light pink with dark crimson eye. N. R.— Sask. I. BOSNOSKY. |l ID you ever notice that the men who become well known in the trade invariably •'--' fetch as well as carry ? I. Eosnosky numbers among his friends florists from coast to coast. They are his friends because he knows his friends' business as well as his own. ' ' Bos ' ' not only takes an order, but he leaves many a hint, suggestion or bit of information that is valuable to the florist who has time for a talk. "Life experience" is a phrase frequently seen in the ads of those who oflfer their services. Rosnosky might well use it if occasion arose, for he spent twelve years with the Brecht corporation in Boston and ten years with Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, before taking Horace Greeley's advice and going west. He became a factor in the affairs of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, November 25. grown the second year from bulbs, but they cannot be divided. Neither is it desirable to grow plants from 2-year-old bulbs. No cultural method has been found so satisfactory as sowing fresh seed in the month of August to produce large, well-flowered plants for the second suc- ceeding season. J. A. P. During the years in which we have made something of a specialty of cycla- mens we have had a good number of plants which produced more or less double flowers. We have found that the semi-double flowers will produce seed, but they do not come true. The double flowers, however, seldom produce seed, or only a few seeds. The varieties appear to have little commercial value on that account. Cyclamens may be ASPLENIUM NIDUS-AVIS. We have a lot of Asplenium Nidus- avis that was shipped to us a month ago. The leaves, particularly the outer ones, have taken on a brown appear- ance, beginning at the base of the plant and continuing to the top. In many of them this discoloration occurs on only one side of the midrib of the leaf. Is this caused by shipping, by too much or too little water, or by something in the soil? The plants have been given the same treatment that we have been giving our ferns; that is, warm, humid atmosphere and partial shade. Any in- formation will be appreciated. B. N.— Ala. From the description this appears to be a disease which wc consider incur- able. It is possible it may result from overwateriug the plants. Some years ago we were troubled with the same disease on a lot of imported plants. We gave these plants every possible care, but without good results, so finally we had to throw them on the dump. Since that time we have been growing our own plants from spores and for several years have not seen any signs of black leaves on our ferns, although we grow this variety in considerable quantity. J.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES By^iTTrtitTrtitTriitT^ffififflrfiiff^ig^g^iff^i^^ MUSZmOOMS. A Profitable Crop. The prices of mushrooms have held up extremely well during the present year and the crop has proved profitable to the growers. At this time, when every- one with greenhouses is planning to grow some food crops, mushrooms are well worthy of consideration, provided the necessary manure is available. They can be grown successfully under green- house benches, in cellars, caves and sheds. I have in mind at this time a mushroom bed made in the cellar of a residence. It is placed not far from a hot water heater, which is not by any means the ideal location for such a bed, but it produced 600 pounds of mush- rooms last winter. No expert cared for this bed, but it was made with well pre- pared manure, well tamped and covered with cloths, which were sprayed over twice daily to offset the arid atmosphere of the cellar. None of the mushrooms sold below 75 cents per pound and the bulk of them brought $1 to $1.50 per pound. Splendid crops of mushrooms can be grown below carnation benches and, when the crop has spent itself, the ma- nure makes an ideal mulch for the car- nations just at the time they need it. Any bench surface in a violet house is equally adaptable for mushroom culture, for, while the ideal temperature for them in winter is 55 degrees, they will produce, although more slowly, in a lower temperature and will give a heavy crop as the days lengthen. Mushroom Beds in Storage Houses. It will not harm a mushroom bed if it becomes frozen solid. Some growers have the idea that frost will ruin a bed of mushrooms, but having had beds frozen almost solid for weeks at a time and having always had heavy crops when the temperature advanced, I con- sider that the damage-from-frost theory has been effectively exploded. I also have spawned beds in cold storage housed in late October. In these the winter minimum has often fallen to 30 degrees or lower, for days at a time. These beds have never failed to pro- duce heavily, commencing about May 15 and continuing until September, a period during which mushrooms realize the highest prices of the year. In such storage houses it is necessary to close the windows tightly and in summer pro- tect tlicm with wooden shutters, also keeping the doors shut tightly and ven- tilating only during cool nights. If these details are attended to, splendid crops, free from insects, can be had through the hottest weather. In such storage houses bods may also be made up in mid-August to produce a crop from the end of September onward. Preparing the Beds. Ordinarily mushroom beds are made up in the fall, November being a good month for this work. A supply of fresh horse manure from grain-fed horses is absolutely necessary. Some growers prefer to throw out the more strawy material, retaining merely the droppings, but just as good results may be had when the straw is included. A good way is to dump the manure under cover of an open shed and give it two or three turnings, until the rank heat subsides. Any portions which are dry are damp- ened with the hose while the pile is being turned. An addition of one-fourth or one-fifth as much pasture loam as manure, well mixed, will prevent vio- lent heating and will at the same time make the beds hold their heat better when made up. Manure is in the proper condi- tion as regards moisture when it can be squeezed together into a ball with the hand without exuding moisture. In making up the beds, do not dump all the manure in at once, but put it on in layers, tramping or pounding the layers separately. The harder a bed is firmed, the better it will retain heat and the longer it will produce profitably. An average depth of nine inches is about right for level beds. "Where they are made up on the floor of a cellar, I pre- fer rounded beds with a depth of fifteen to eighteen inches in the center. These need not be more than thirty inches wide, with a narrow path between them. The rounded beds give a greater spawn- ing and mushroom-producing surface than level ones. BLEACHINQ WITLOOF CHICORY. Please tell me how to bleach Witloof chicory and how to store the roots up to the time of bleaching. A. J. H.— 111. Dig the roots up now. Cut off the tops, but not too close to the roots. Store them in sand or loam on a cellar floor until wanted for forcing. The roots can be successfully forced in a warm, dark cellar or in a mushroom house. They can be cut back to flve or six inches in length before they are planted in loam, spent hops or old tanbark. Below green- house benches is a suitable forcing place also. Plant the roots, water them and cover with a foot or more of spent hops, sawdust, or any other light mulch. Some box arrangement is necessary to hold in the loam and covering. Com- plete darkness is essential for the proper blanching of the tops. The shoots, like cos lettuce, will push up through the light mulch, which can be removed care- fully from one end and the tops cut off. I prefer a light covering to a heavier one, such as is occasionally recom- mended. A fairly warm house is best, not below 55 degrees at night. C. W. Oxford, O. — The Oxford Betreat greenhouses exhibited some chrysanthe- mums recently in the window of the Oxford National bank, which for size and exquisite coloring are said to have surpassed anything in this line hereto- fore grown at this range. Saginaw, Mich. — J. B. Goetz Sons have grown 10,000 flowers of their new anemone chrysanthemum, named Sun- shine, by the disbudding process, pro- ducing one flower to the stem. They have another house in which the plants were not disbudded, the flowers being produced in clusters, but they do not think these are so good as the disbudded ones. Shipments have been made to several markets, including Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago, and the demand has been so strong that they wish they had a much larger quantity. Sunshine is golden yellow, with a large, high, anemone-like center and several rows of ray petals. The stems are stiff and the foliage small. The keeping quality is one of the good points claimed for it. J. Fred Goetz, who looks after the green- house end of the business, is preparing to disseminate the variety in the spring. MUM STOCK PLANTS. Look over the mum stock and see that all desirable sorts, if intended to be kept for another year, are correctly labeled. Do not put tliem V)clow a bench or in any out-of-tlie-way place. The ideal location for them is a bench in a violet house or other cold house, where they will make an abundance of fine, succulent cuttings, so that you can start at once to increase your stock of spe- cially good varieties. In addition to the standard single-stem chrysanthemums, there has been a larger call than ever this season for pompons, singles and un- disbudded sprays of the larger-flowcrod varieties of mums. This lias been a most favorable season for n'ums out- doors, with an almost complete absence of frost until the middle of November. Not only pompons and singles but a number of Japanese varieties have bloomed abundantly. As the pompons are not always reliably hardy, it would be well to lift clumps of them before the ground freezes up and store them in coldframes or in a cool greenhouse for the winter. CARRYING OVER MUMS. "We have two houses of chrysanthe- mums which we planned to stop heating as soon as the mums are cut. Is this stock hardy enough to withstand the cold? Could it be started again and would it yield good crops? If so, kindly advise treatment. Some of the mums are in raised benches and others in ground beds. H. & P. — Mich.

The Florists^ Review 21 plants in the benches until spring with- out any heat and then start them up again. With the protection that will be afforded by the glass, there is no reason why the plants should not carry over, but they will have to be protected still further. Usually it is not the freezing that kills mums or other plants, but it is the alternate freezing and thawing that does so much damage. If you have enough leaves to mulch the mums, covering the benches to a depth of several inches after the ground is frozen, thus protect- ing the plants from the hot sun and preventing a thawing of the soil around the roots, there is no reason why the stock should not come through all right. Stock that has been protected in this manner has produced satisfactory crops the following season. I would not advise that the plants be lifted and moved at this time, if it is not necessary to use the space they occupy, since they are well established in the soil and will conio through the winter much better on this account. C. H. T. NEW YORK. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. The story of last week's business is the same as for the week previous. There were many deaths, resulting in a heavy demand for funeral work, beyond what the trade was prepared to meet. The weather was cloudy every day and roses and carnations failed to bloom in sufficient numbers. Mums are prac- tically gone and other flowers which could be used were scarce. Greens are not too plentiful, either, and good ferns are hard to get. The "flu" situation is not improving and it may be that the ban will be put on public gather- ings again. Various Notes. C. L. Niednagel reports a big de- mand for roses, carnations and greens. The cut at his range, although large, is below requirements. Emil Niednagel is expected home by Thanksgiving from the Officers' Train- ing Camp at Camp Taylor. The William Blackman Floral Co. has a fine line of plants for Thanksgiving, including pans of poinsettias, cherries, cyclamens, potted mums, ferns, etc. The cut of roses and carnations has been good, considering the weather, and busi- ness has been heavy. Mrs. J. C. Elspermann continues to have more business than she can attend to. Theo. Elspermann will be among the first to return from France. Karl Zeidler will not go to Mississippi this year. The hunting party he has been accustomed to go with has decided not to make the trip. The Lockyear Floral Co. reports that Jill its stock was taken by the big de- mand last week and stock was shipped in from Chicago. Royston & Fenton report a good de- mand for Liberty coleus, their sport of Brilliancy. Liberty is more brilliant than Brilliancy and must be seen to be appreciated. Theodore Kuebler has a nice line of plants and cut flowers at his market stand. His carnations this year are fine, the best he has had. Otto Kuebler, at Kresge's store, has a good stock on display for Thanks- giving. T. S. Finch, of the Chicago Carton ^o., was a visitor here last week. E. L. r. The Market. Last week saw little change in mar- ket conditions. While there was a small increase in arrivals, the demand was such as to absorb the additions and a daily clean-up has been the rule. The late varieties of chrysanthemums are coming in well, the quantity being rather in excess of what is usually ex- pected at this date, due, no doubt, to the mild weather experienced now for many days. The quality is, on the whole, good, and the range of colors is nearly even with the demand. Yellow, per- haps, predominates, but moves better than it did the previous week. The supply of single and pompon mums ap- pears to be diminishing, although there are plenty of them for the demand and the prices continue about the same. White varieties have a good lead. Eoses are in good supply and move well, especially the long-stem grades, but there is a little change noted in prices. Ophelias are exceptionally plentiful, a condition which tends to beat down prices. Carnations are in good demand, but, as they are in more plentiful supply, the fancy prices of re- cent weeks are out of the question. It must be especially good stock to bring $4 per hundred, which ordinarily is top price for this season. Much short- stemmed stock is arriving, evidence of late benching, which was a condition rather general this season, owing to the scarcity of labor. Eed varieties are called for to an unexpected extent, so they clean up without much trouble. Orchids are in fair supply and move well, cattleyas especially, as the labiata variety has passed its season and only Trianse is coming in. Cattleya Per- civaliana is in evidence, but the demand for it is nothing to speak of. There are plenty of oncidiums and other spray orchids. Lilies have fallen off a little in price, due to the supply being some- what in excess of the demand. Lily of the valley holds fairly well, but the quality of most arrivals is poor, the best being far below the average. Some fine gardenias are coming in now and move readily. The best bring $4 per dozen and a few selected as much as $.), but the bulk of the arrivals is com- posed of small flowers, which sell for as little as $2 per dozen. Violets are plentiful and the quality is a little bet- ter. A lot of stevia is coming in, but much of it is green and hard to move. Smilax and asparagus move well, the latter especially. There is little locally grown asparagus available now, prac- tically all the supply coming from the south and much of it in poor condi- tion. There was much speculation as to the prospects of a supply for Thanksgiving, but, judging from the market November 23, there was no cause for uneasiness, as it seemed sure there would be plenty of everything at normal prices. A Spring Flower Show? Shall we have a spring flower show! This is a question that just now is con- cerning many who have taken an active interest in previous shows. The com- mittee is to meet before the close of the month to make a decision in the mat- ter. Many of the larger exhibitors in the trade section are outspoken in their views on the situation, and believe it would be a mistake to abandon the proj- ect. They argue that a show would give an opportunity to make a start for the business they feel sure will be forth- coming next spring. Greenhouse build- ers, garden furniture manufacturers and makers of the hundred and one things which may be included among garden accessories are volunteering their sup- port if the committee decides favor- ably. There are two conditions that are likely to influence the committee. One is the availability of a suitable building. The government still has possession of the Grand Central Palace and it is not known whether Madison Square Garden^ practically the only other building large enough, could be leased. The other con- dition is the doubt existing as to whether sufficient exhibitors could be obtained to fill out the competitive sec- tion. Most of the greenhouses on pri- vate estates, whence come, usually, many of the finer exhibits, are closed, owing to the fuel restrictions. If the fuel situation improves quickly, this condition may be met to a large extent. We may rest assured, however, that if it is at all possible, we will have a show. Various Notes.

Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. The Fuel Administration will be ter- minated automatically upon proclamation of peace. Many retailers catering to the better class of trade already are able to note an increase in the call for flowers for special affairs, especially for corsage bouquets, as the result of the relief felt at the sur- render of Germany. The forthcoming issue of the Garden Magazine will be of special interest to florists because the cover and the leading article will have to do with the S. A. F. publicity campaign and most of the ad- vertisements have been written around the trade's slogan, "Say It with Flowers." It is an extremely bad habit, when oversold on a batch of plants, to hold orders until the next lot is ready. And the worst part of it is that it usually is done with the orders that were accom- panied by remittances. To cash a man's check and not ship his order for any- where from two to twelve weeks is not in accordance with the golden rule. If the florists in the cities want to keep the ones in the small towns filling tele- graph delivery orders in time of need they must pay the bills promptly. The small-town florist gets a telegraph order only now and then, usually from some big- city florist who has hunted up the name in a directory or obtained it from a whole- saler. If the country florist does not get his money without trouble, the next tele- graph order is ignored and the service gets a black eye. Don't be alarmed because you have stored high-priced coal; the price will not fall, nor will you spend sleepless nights in midwinter. The Editor 's desk seldom has carried a handsomer decoration than the vase of Sunshine, a new Japanese anemone- flowered chrysanthemum,, sent by J. B. Goetz Sons, Saginaw, Mich. The flowers were grown by the disbudding process, which produced large blooms on long, stiff stems. Nearly all the greenhouse building material concerns have been working for a year or more on government orders of one kind or another. In nearly all cases shipments on these orders have been stopped and some of the contracts are in process of cancellation on terms not un- favorable to the manufacturers. They will be ready to put their whole energies on greenhouse building by spring. WELL WORTH PUSHINO. In many flower stores the telegraph delivery feature of the business hereto- fore has been regarded as a mere inci- dent, but suddenly the trade has come to realize that the telegraph delivery department (it includes the orders transferred by telephone and mail) has come to be of real importance and that it repays the same attention, care and effort that is put on other essential features of the flower business. How important the transfer of orders between retailers has become is illus- trated by the statement of F. C. W. Brown, of the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleve- land, who was a visitor at the office of The Review a few days ago. In October, said Mr. Brown, the Gasser store was open twenty-seven days and in those twenty-seven days the transfer orders, in and out, aggregated over $2,900, or more than $100 for each busi- ness day in the month. There is many a store in many a city the size of Cleveland which not so long ago would have considered $100 per day as an excellent total for all the business done. It is a good day's busi- ness for many a store right now. The Gasser store did it on transfer orders alone. Another feature of Mr. Brown's state- ment was of interest. Some of the flo- rists of large cities have indicated a dislike for orders that are too small to be handled conveniently at a profit. The record of Mr. Brown's October transfer orders shows that those sent out by him averaged a value of $8.95, while the incoming orders averaged $8.90. Among them were some small orders, orders too small to afford an attractive profit at a busy time, but Mr. Brown considers only the average value of the orders. What flower store is there which could not make a handsome profit on ordert which averaged a value of $8,901 THE EXPRESS BATE RAISE. The increased express rates predicted in recent issues of The Review were pro- vided for in a general order issued No- vember 21 by Director General McAdoo, and are effective January 1, 1919. The essential features of the order pro- vide that in the territory north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi river, the increase in ex- press first-class merchandise rates range from 16 cents to 17 cents per hundred pounds, regardless of the distance hauled in that territory. This applies to cut flowers. The increase in the balance of the United States will range from 10 cents to 12 cents per hundred pounds on mer- chandise. The increase on second-class merchandise, which includes plants prop- erly packed, will be about three-quarters of the increase on first-class merchandise shipped by express. FROM FAR AND NEAR. Anyone who has an article used or sold by florists misses the opportunity to make money if he fails to let the trade all know about that particular source of supply. Many buyers send long distances for articles they would buy near home if they saw them adver- tised in The Review. Like this: We have been getting orders for tree cones advertised in The Review, from Brooklyn, Cleve- land, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and other places, quite a distance from us. — The Colorado Seed Co., Denver, Colo., November 18, 1918. I have sold out all my surplus stock. The Review does the selling. — R. Schilmar, Warren, Pa., November 15, 1918. I am pleased to advise that sales are far be- yond my expectations and I know that many are due to my ad In The Review. — T. H. Fuller, Bat- tle Creek, Mich., November 16, 1918. We have had a pretty good sale on the Norway spruce as a result of the ad we have been run- ning in The Review. — Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., November 22, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. HELP THE TRADE ALONG. It is the general opinion that the pass- ing of the chrysanthemum season will bring another pronounced shortage of cut flowers in all the wholesale markets. Roses and carnations then will have to carry the load of a demand almost cer- tain to exceed the supply. The result, of course, will be an advance in prices. The price of cut flowers never has been governed by the cost of production, but by the law of supply and demand. If cost governed, higher prices would have prevailed for a long, long time. The public is willing to pay what things cost; people do not wish to be overcharged, but they expect to pay the cost of production plus a living profit. Let the grower live; he has merely existed for quite a space prior to this autumn. CHICAGO. The Market. This issue of The Review goes to press during the rush of Thanksgiving buying. Shipping business is so heavy that it will break all records; it will be a Thanksgiving that will not be forgotten. The city business is keeping pace and it is the opinion of the leaders in the trade, and also of the smaller merchants, that there will not be enough stock to meet all needs, even at the highest prices ever asked at this holiday. Several of the wholesalers already have declined many transient orders, due to having enough advance orders from regular cus- tomers to absorb all their Thanksgiving supply. Stock of all kinds, however, is coming into the market in heavy supply, with the exception of mums, of which there will not be enough to go around. So strong is the demand that many or- ders will have to be cut down and it is feared late buyers will fare poorly. The city retailers report an extra NOTBMBBB 28, 1918.

Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers and Mants Wot 87 Tears CHICAGO heavy demand for corsage bouquets and it is evident that a great deal of this work is being done; the reports coming from supply houses state that the ma- terial for this kind of trade is moving rapidly. All kinds of decorative work are coming back to life again, such as table decorations, elaborate wedding dec- orations, etc., and all agree that the trade is going through the biggest No- vember business we ever experienced. There is a big shortage of chrysanthe- mums for Thanksgiving, because many of the growers cut their usual Thanks- giving varieties ten days early. Bon- naffon and Chadwick are badly missed. A considerable supply of stock arrives, but this in no way equals the call. Both fancy and common stock cleans up and brings good prices. The pompon situa- tion, however, is more encouraging, as there are enough yellow pompons to go around. The white and pink varieties, however, are far short of the demand and bring good prices. The market has experienced a wonder- ful demand for long-stemmed and extra fancy roses. There is a good supply and the quality is excellent; none better have been seen on the market and, while Christmas prices are asked, the demand exceeds the supply. The lower grades continue on the short side, worse this week than in the past. Stiff prices are holding up. There is an increased supply of car- nations, but not what we expect at this time of year, and the supply does not take care of the orders. Everything sells and prices are high. Orchids, for the first time in many months, are com- ing in large enough quantities to take care of present needs, but the price con- tinues firm. Eubrum lilies meet with an unusually good call, due mostly to the shortage of Easter lilies, which continue to be in big demand. Callas arrive in small quantity and move slowly. Valley is again short and the price has ad- vanced once more. Plenty of calendulas arrive and meet with a good call. The steady demand for pansies continues. Single and double violets arrive in good quantity and, for the first time since their appearance on the market, are in Jeanne Nonin — Pompons Pompons, all colors, 50c to $1.00 per bunch CARNATIONS Beu-White and Yellow Garza —and all varieiies of Roses; also everything in seasonable cut flowers.

Sweet peas are quite plentiful, but the quality is not what the retailers want and they, there- fore, move slowly. Mignonette is quite abundant and meets with a lieavy call. There is little or no call for Paper Whites. Stevia has come, but much of it is too soft to ship safely. The greens situation remains un- changed, the demand equaling the sup- ply of everything in this line. Various Notes. There is a general impression in the trade that the cost of merchandise is due to come down, now that the war is over, but the wholesalers are not able to find anyone from whom they purchase who looks at it the same way. Within the last few days several of them have suffered another big boost in the cost of their shipping boxes. They are pay- ing so much for them that they do not wonder that some of the out-of-town buyers question the P. & D. charge even when it represents only the bare cost of the boxes. And this week old news- papers for wrapping purposes have been advanced to $30 per ton. In the good old days the price was $9 per ton. The price of old newspapers is governed by supply and demand and the order of the War Industries Board prohibiting all overruns having produced a shortage. C. Clemensen, 7801 Exchange avenue, P. J.

As president of the board of county com- missioners Mr. Reinberg also is presi- dent of the Forest Preserve commis- sioners of Cook county and it has been largely due to his efforts that the Forest Preserve district has been developed so rapidly.

A big meeting is looked for, as the election of officers for the ensuing year will take place and many papers of interest held over from the last meeting will be read. Elmer D.

The loop florists, including many of the trade's leaders, have shown unusual taste this week in their window decora- tions and an inspection of the various shops shows that the windows attract the attention of many passers-by. Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi- cago Flower Growers' Association, com- ments on the rose situation up to Thanksgiving. He states that his house never has realized such prices as those of this autumn and that price does not doter the buyers who want extra fancy stock, particularly choice Russell and Milady, which have brought as high as 60 cents apiece. O. A. & L. A. Tonner have taken ad- ditional space on the fourth floor of the Atlas block in order to carry enough holiday supplies to handle their orders. Miss O. A. Tonner says that the extra space is only taken temporarily, but it is hoped that business will continue so that it can be kept permanently. F. J.

J. T. Caulfield is trying to sell the fix- tures and lease of the Woodlawn Floral Shop, 811 East Sixty-third street. He says he has had any number of lookers, but the most likely prospect is a man in another line of business who likes the location. The florists seem to be deterred by the rent, $80 per month, on a lease which has two and a half years to run. The store is the one started by the Sullivan brothers. It passed into. the hands of Emmet Caul- field, who was not a florist, a few months ago. He was doing well, but was killed in an automobile accident October 27. It is his father, a real estate operator, who has the place for sale. It is not open for business. Visitors. Among last week's visitors was Louis Bauscher, of the Freeport Floral Co., Freeport, 111. He was here to attend the annual meeting of the North Amer- ican Union, a fraternal insurance or- ganization of more than 30,000 members. He is one of three supreme trustees and one detail of his job is to keep an eye on something like $500,000 of members' funds. As for the flower business at Freeport, he says it has been real good. He puts accent on the penultimate. F. C. W. Brown, general manager of the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland, was here for two days last week, seeking the means of meeting a constantly in- creasing demand. He says business never was better at Cleveland and that his chief difficulty is in procuring stock and skilled assistance to take care of the trade. George H. Bancroft, of Joseph Ban- croft & Son, Cedar 'Falls, la., paid his annual visit to the market November 21. While he was buying a general line of supplies, his interest principally cen- tered on baskets, which are more popu- lar than ever before at Cedar Falls. Mr. Bancroft uses large numbers of baskets for funeral flowers and finds these ar- rangements among the most successful he sends out.

David Geddis, manager of the St, Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co., St, Louis, spent the latter part of last week in this market. J. S. Wilson, Jr., of the Alpha Floral Co., Des Moines, la., made preparations for Thanksgiving shipments while here last week. O. J. Eischen, of the Duluth Floral Co., Duluth, Minn., made a hurried trip to the market the early part of the week and it is evident by the size of orders placed for Thanksgiving stock that his concern expects to break all records this year. W, C, Johnson, Memphis, Tenn., was in town November 25, purchasing sup- plies and investigating the subject of greenhouse building. Johnson's Green- hou-^es now cover about 50,000 square feet. They are all in cut flowers for the local trade, but they do not meet the demand, at least one-fourth of the stock sold heretofore having come from the Chicago market. Mr. Johnson plans to add 20,000 feet to his glass, a part of it in the early spring and the rest as rapidly as he thinks prices warrant. George A. Kuhl, Pekin, 111., was in the market the early part of this week. INDIANAPOLIS, The Market, The market in this locality is greatly ilepleted and the usual big sale for Thanksgiving must suffer for lack of stock. This shortage is attributed to several causes. First of all, there were not so many mums, roses or carnations planted by those who remained in busi- ness. Next, a number of concerns closed for the winter. Third, a week of dark weather has retarded stock. Fourth, the great demand for the last week, from sickness and death, has kept the market bare. For the last week business in general has been good. However, counter trade has suffered on account of the public remaining at home to avoid wearing the "flu" masks. This has hurt all lines of business. Large mums are making from $2 to $6 per dozen. Pompon and single varieties bring 50 cents per bunch. Carnations are scarce and make from $4 to $6 per hundred. Eoses meet with ready sale and bring from $3 to $25 per hundred. Callas make $1.50 per dozen, Rubrums 30 The Florists^ Review NOVOMBEB 28, 1918.

There are a few violets, snap- dragons, calendulas, pansies, stevia, bouvardia and mignonette in the market. Green goods are scarce. The pot plant market affords ferns, Jerusalem cherries, cyclamens, mums and Chatelaine begonias. Various Notes. H. Both, of Lafayette, is shipping good roses to this market, especially Columbia, and is also sending good bouvardia. The H. W. Bieman Sons Co. is closed on account of the "flu" in the family. The entire staff is ill. E. E. Temperley, wife and daughter, are spending a few days in Terre Haute, visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Eppert, of Davis Gardens, Mrs. Temperley 's parents. Bertermann Bros. Co. and A. Wie- gand's Sons Co. are displaying Thanks- giving windows worthy of mention, and John Bieman 's window for this week outdoes his windows of the past. E. O. Steinkamp has been visiting in Bichmond. E. E. T. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The wholesale market during the last week was not in so good a condition as usual at this time of the year. Sunless days caused a shortage of all seasonable flowers. In anticipation of Thanksgiving, prices advanced. That there will be a great demand is shown by the many advance orders that have been placed with the wholesalers. Last week we noticed a greatly de- creased supply in all varieties of mums, but no doubt many growers were hold- ing them back for this week, which will about see the end of the mum season. Eoses are fine, but not plentiful enough to supply the demand. Carna- tions are slow in coming into crop this season. Sweet peas and violets are scarce. Easter lilies are more plentiful and the shortage of other stock caused a large demand for them. Stevia sells well. Everything in greens moves steadily.

The market is tightening. There is less stock, there are more orders and higher prices. The wholesalers do not want to lay stress on the fact that prices are higher. They do not want to discourage business. But the fact re- mains that prices must advance or there will be no stock. Chrysanthemums will hold out until Thanksgiving; that part is settled. There will be fewer of them, no doubt, but there will be some of the fine, late sorts that make a strong ending to the season, including Bonnaflfon, the Chad- wicks, Maud Dean, Seidewitz, Jeanne Nonin and a few others. The quantity has been smaller the last season, prices have been higher and many more could have been sold. Good judges say that the market undoubtedly would have taken the quantity of chrysanthemums grown last year at this year's better prices. Carnations are looking up as a real factor in the market. They are improv- ing and they are going higher. Roses are on the back track. There are not so many of them and they, too, are advancing, Violets are of importance as Thanksgiving approaches. Some houses handle only extremely fine single ones; others depend chiefly on the doubles. The former use violets locally or for nearby points; the latter use vio- lets in long-distance shipping. A few Paper Whites and some stevia have appeared. Greens are ended. BERGER BROS.

There are some things that may not be mentioned. There are some things that may not be written; at least, so the minor papers believe. But I firmly believe that good comes of talking and writing plainly of the things that are of interest to us all. I believe this just as firmly as I do that where there is mystery in business there is apt to be crookedness. I have often been criti- cised for discussing the Florists* Club matters, on the ground that private matters should not be made public. This seems to me most unjust. The Florists' Club aims at the betterment of our profession and is open to every one of us whose legs are not black. We ought, one and all, to do everything in our power to make the club as good as it can be made here on earth. If we do not talk about it, it might as well be in heaven for all the good it will do here. This by way of preamble. There is a queer condition existing in the Florists' Club today. The club has a president who will not preside. Such a thing has never occurred before in the history of the organization. It probably never will occur again. It is considered a great honor to be elected president of the Florists' Club. Every florist would CHRYSANTHEMUMS CARNATIONS - ROSES - POMPONS and all •casonablc flowers.

The first president of the club was the foremost man in the profession and the most popular. Then came the next and the next in order as representatives of the profession. After a while there was no longer unanimity of opinion aa to who should be president. Some thought one, some another. There were rival candidates. Presently the great business houses took a hand in the selec- tion. This caused friendly rivalry. The October election was somewhat in the nature of a canvass. The friend of one great house, a man of note, was chosen president; the friend of another great house, a younger man, but one of scarcely less note, was chosen vice- president; when, to the horror of every- one, the president declined to serve. This placed his friends in a position of unusual embarrassment. They could not decently impeach him. What could NOVBHBBB 28, 1918.

He probably will continue to do so until such time as the president can be prevailed upon to change his mind and accept the honor for which his long and useful career so eminently qualifies him. The Plant Market. The conditions prevailing in the plant market are so encouraging as to be worthy of special mention. The dull- ness that prevailed during the cut flow- er activity of last month has passed. In its place a healthy demand has sprung up that promises to make a shortage in many varieties long before the holidays. Buyers realize that there is not a great deal of really good bloom- ing and colored stock to be had and they are ordering freely, much earlier than usual. Red peppers, one of the pretty novelties, are already bespoken, while small poinsettias suitable for bas- kets bid fair to run out soon. Highly colored crotons are in active demand, owing to the fact that many growers dropped them because they need heat. Ericas have sold well. Cyclamens are likely to be more in evidence than ever before in this market. Various Notes. Cornelius Van der Breggan is im- proving steadily, though not yet out of bed. Recent visitors include Joseph Coombs, representing John Coombs, Hartford, Conn.; Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J.; John Young, New York city; E. L. Dudley, Parkersburg, W. Va.; Charles H.

The genial Robert Shoch has returned from a successful southern trip. Edward Dornheim has returned to Berger Bros. He says it is the only commission house; Colonel Baker dis- sents. Clarence U. Liggit has been south. The establishment of William J. Young, Jr., was entered recently through a ventilator by a sneak thief, who escaped with a heavy overcoat and some chrysanthemums. Samuel W. Sproul has reopened two doors from his former location. The CoUingdale Greenhouses have been dismantled. The ground has been sold and dwellings are being erected thereon. This is the old La Roche & Stahl place, which was leased and suc- cessfully operated by Alfred M. Camp- bell. The M. Rice Co. has more orders on its books today than in any previous year at this time. Charles F. Edgar is said to be out west. Fred Berger says that the season's farming has greatly improved his health. Max H. Rothe displayed some fine Turner chrysanthemums that captured the blue ribbon at the Pennsylvania show last week. Alfred M. Campbell has put a new blue car into service. The visit of the S. A. F. magnates was in the interest of the publicity fund. Mr. Young reports success in the middle west and in California. An embargo on No. 1 buckwheat coal went into effect again November 16, greatly to the disappointment of the florists and the coal men. Mrs. J. H. Claus celebrated a delayed anniversary November 15 and 16. The date of her entrance into business was October 25, but that date proved un- propitious this year.

The near approach of Thanksgiving finds the market well cleaned up of practically all flowers. November 23 and 25 stalls presented an appearance not dissimilar to the period when the influenza wave was at its height. There seems to be a marked scarcity of almost everything. Eoses were hurt by recent warm weather and nearly all growers are in light crop. As a consequence, prices have stiffened materially on all varieties, with a specially strong call for reds, deep pinks and Ophelia. Car- nations are sold out soon after arrival and Thanksgiving prices are ruling higher than for years. Violets are scarce. The heat wave raised havoc with the plants, and it looks now as though they would be in short supply for some weeks at least. Chrysanthe- mums never cleaned up so well and they bring satisfactory prices. The pompons are in great demand. Lilies are scarce and such callas aa arrive are soon bought up. There are few sweet peas and the snapdragons that reach the market sell well, if of good colors. Marguerites move at $1 to $2 per hundred, and pansies, owing to the violet scarcity, sell well. Stevia has arrived from several growers and commands double last year's price. Prices on cattleyas have advanced to as high as $75 per hundred. Cypripedi- ums sell moderately well at $16 per hundred. Pot plant trade is looking up. Ericas, camellias, chrysanthemums, be- gonias, cyclamens, ferns, crotons, arau- carias, oranges and berried solanums sell the best. Club Meeting.

The annual election will be held December 17. It required two long tables to hold the numerous exhibits. Janiten & Wollrath Co. showed splendid begonias, Melior and Cincinnati, cyclamens and oranges. The cyclamens were exceptionally fine and Mr. Wollrath stated that they had made sales of these at as much as $15 per pair. He considered Melior a much better commercial begonia than Cincin- nati, with which Mr. Bartsch, of the W. W. Edgar Co., agreed. He said the only objection to Melior was that its flowers ■were somewhat cup-shaped.

The seedling never shows any color in dark weather, he stated. Mr. Goddard also showed fine Baldwin apples and field corn. John L. Smith received a report of merit for a splendid hybrid Cattleya Moira. F. Predeaux showed his new, large-flowered strain of Primula ob- conica. W. D. Niekerson showed seed- ling anemone chrysanthemums, W. N. Craig showed a collection of vegetables, including tomatoes, brussels sprouts, onions, etc. A. K.

Little showed a pair of Tender and True cucumbers, some forty-two inches in length, also salsify and fine Paris Golden celery, awarded a cultural report of merit. Charles Cooper received honorable men- tion for handsome Baldwin apples. James Donald showed sweet corn, field corn and potatoes. The various ex- hibits brought out considerable discus- sion and later in the evening James Donald gave a short practical talk on vegetables. One new member was admitted. It was voted to serve refreshments, which have been dropped for some time, at the December meeting, when Christmas plants will be discussed. Various Notes. Professor A. G. Hecht, of the floricul- tural department, Amherst, is now a lieutenant in the personnel office at Camp Sherman, O. The W. W. Edgar Co., Waverley, has a splendid lot of Petrick azaleas already in bloom. All are finely budded. They have made shipments of these to Canada and other distant points. They have 12,000 Freesia Purity in bud for the holidays, grown in pots and pans, and large batches of primulas, begonias, cyclamens, poinsettias and Euphorbia jacquiniaeflora. B. A. Snyder & Co., in honor of their opening November 21, entertained about 150 of their friends in the trade at sup- per at the Elks' hall that evening. An excellent supper was served. J. J. Cas- Bidy officiated as toastmaster, and con- gratulatory addresses were made by P. Welch, W. J. Stewart, E. A. Peirce and others. There was an excellent orches- tra and solos which kept the company in good humor. Those assembled pre- sented B. A. Snyder & Co. with a hand- some clock as a token of esteem, and the evening proved a most enjoyable one. Thomas Eoland, among other Thanks- giving plants, has excellent Erica melan- thera, oranges, camellias, cyclamens, begonias, ferns and crotons at Revere. He has at present a light cut of roses, but he will have a large Christmas crop. George C. Harbison, for many years manager for William H. Elliott, at Brighton, has resigned. His place has been taken by Michael Costello, an old employee at Brighton. Eber Holmes, for some time in charge of Mr. Elliott's Madbury, N.

As is usually the case, stock is scarce before the holidays, but large quanti- ties of stock are promised for the Thanksgiving trade. No particular shortage has been noticed until last week, when roses dropped off consider- ably. Good stock arrives and sells read- ily. Columbia is much sought for, espe- cially in the medium and fancy stock. 38 The Florists^ Review NOTBMBEB 28. 1918. Other varieties arriving in fair supply include Ophelia, Prima Donna, Septem- ber Morn, Sunburst and Scott Key. The market is stocked with a deluge of chrysanthemums, which sell to good ad- vantage. The quality is good, with strong, well f oliaged stems. Mums should be in splendid condition for Thanksgiv- ing Turner and yellow Turner, Bonnaf- fon, Maud Dean, Chrysolora, Chieftain, Touset, Eaton and Yellow Eaton, Golden Glow and Queen are included in the sup- ply. Fair quantities of pompons in many different shades are in good de- mand. Single yellow and white varie- ties are popular. Calendulas are still in fair supply and are of excellent qual- ity. Pansies are seen, but do not move rapidly. The same is true of both single and double violets. Their quality is ex- cellent, but there is no great demand at present. Carnations of good quality are arriving in increased quantities, for which the demand is good. Most of the carnation stock arrives in medium- length stems. The long-stemmed stock has not as yet made its appearance. There is a fair demand for Easter lilies, but there is not sufficient stock to go around. Orchids had a fair demand during the week. Some good bouvardia is seen, but only in small quantities. Stevia is in good supply and, being the only fine flower at this time, is much sought for. Callas are small and receive little call. New galax in both brown and green is welcome. Leucothoe leaves are selling well. Natural oak is used largely with chrysanthemums. Various Notes. The Lady Florists' Auxiliary met at the home of Mrs. Edwin P. Wilson No- vember 19 for its monthly meeting. Fol- lowing the business session a social hour was enjoyed, after which refreshments were served. George Pringle, of Salter Bros., East Main street, leaves within a few days for Florida, to be away untU spring. George Cramer is assisting this firm and will continue to do so until Mr. Pringle 's return. Visitors to the trade this week include Julius Berg, representing a ribbon house of New York, and the representative of the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. The store of J. B. Keller Sons has been redecorated during the last few days and finished in white enamel. It is at- tractive now with massive vases of chrysanthemums. Tall square pedestals finished in gold bronze are used in the window with excellent effect. The monthly meeting of the Rochester Florists' Association was not held as scheduled November 18, owing to the Peace celebrations. Important business was to have been presented, but this will come before the December meeting, when it is hoped all the members will make a special effort to attend. A handsome window display was seen at the store of Collates Bros., Clinton avenue, south, this week. Huge vases of Bonnaffon mums were displayed, sur- rounded by a number of baskets of straw-flowers. Louis Collates reports business as good indeed. He is looking forward to a record Christmas trade. Salter Bros, have on display a number of the Eeiber bird houses in their win- dow, nicely crated and packed with ever- greens. They make ideal Christmas gifts and are selling well.

Indications were that the supply of mums also will be big. Carnations had a drop during the week, but not enough to weaken them in the least. For Thanksgiving they were expected to be $6 to $8 per hun- dred. Eoses experienced a better de- mand during the week at fair prices. The demand for Beauties has been slow. F. P. A. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. Conditions in the flower market dur- ing the last week have eased up only slightly, in spite of the fact that the influenza epidemic has subsided. We have had practically no sunshine for the last two weeks, and roses and car- nations are both in short supply. Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia are most notable for quality, while Shawyer, Columbia, Eichmond and the Killarneys are close seconds. Lilies may be said to be off the mar- ket, likewise valley. Some handsome chrysanthemums are being shown, al- though the pink and white sorts are scarce at present. Bonnaffon, Chadwick aod Golden Wedding are the best of the yellows. Ivory, Turner and other ex- cellent varieties are being offered, but many of the late mums will be saved for Thanksgiving. Sweet peas, violets and miniature roses have been in ex- cellent demand for corsage work, but are inadequate to requirements. Snap- dragons are being used in large quanti- ties and orchids are plentiful. The de- mand has extended to wedding work and pre-nuptial parties within the last week and the reopening of the local hospitals, which had been closed on ac- count of the influenza, caused a spurt of trade in that direction. The ground has been covered with frost many times of late and our first light snowfall came November 21.

NOVBMBEB 28, 1918. letter of protest from the Florists' Club in regard to the stock from the city greenhouses being sold at the local de- partment stores below market prices. No action has been taken by the club as yet, on this matter, but steps will be taken to prevent this stock being put on the market at cut prices. H. E. Smalley, Allen County Agricul- tural Agent, has received official infor- mation that his brother, Sergeant John W. Smalley, received the distinguished service cross for great heroism on the French front, September 12, when he attacked a German machine gun nest. It was in the performance of this coura- geous act that he lost his life. Edgar Wenninghoff has a fine line of blooming plants, including primroses, begonias, chrysanthemums and cycla- mens, which he has been offering during the scarcity of cut blooms. He has had an unusually good demand for these, in addition to a steady demand for fu- neral pieces. Some attractive "Victory" corsages were sent out by the Flick Floral Co. last week, and this concern also put in three wedding decorations. Flowers for pre-nuptial parties have been in brisk demand here. Some fine Ophelia and Bussell roses are being cut at the green- houses and an excellent crop of mums, many of which will be in their prime for Thanksgiving. E. F. B.

The Market. Flowers are scarce this week. Mums from California are a big help. -There has never Deen such a shortage of mums in Seattle as there is this year, where at this time the market usually has been flooded. This year there is nothing, growers demanding almost twice as much for a poorer grade of stock. It looks at the present time as though the retailers will have the holidays on top of them with about half enough cut stock to meet an expected heavy demand. The de- mand for funeral work has got back to normal once more, but it was a long, hard grind for everybody in the trade for about six weeks. Various Notes. George Bosaia returned last week from a month's vacation in California. He reports business on the boom in the sunny south The Stuber-Eichardson Co. has added a new house to its range at Bryn Mawr. The house is 37x200 feet, with hot water heat. The initial crop will be cucumbers. Bosaia Bros, have a fine lot of pot plants and novelties for the holidays, at their range at Thomas, Wash. Mrs. Ghilarducci, of the California Florist, Tacoma, was a visitor in the city. She reports business good. Hollywood Gardens report a fine busi- ness generally. W. S. G. ,-^fe^>%fe»>Hfe»>^fe^H,fe^>^ i YAKIMA, WASH. The Market. Business in general is good, owing to the large number of cases of influenza, resulting in heavy funeral work, which cleans up all stock daily. Large ship- ments of California mums are arriving. Violets are in good demand, although the quality of the stock is not the best. Greenhouse violets from Spokane are offered, but they move slowly. Local sweet peas find a ready sale at fancy prices. The supply is limited, but the quality is fine. Mums are in fine form and the growers look for a big cut for Thanksgiving. Various Notes. The State Floral Co. has opened an attractive shop on North Second street in charge of W. E. Cord, who is a mem- ber of the firm, having come here a year ago from the State Nursery Co., Helena, Mont., where he had years of experience in the florists' business. A good future is predicted for the new venture. Mrs. Murphy, formerly of Victoria, B. C, is assisting in the store. Fred Young, of Portland, Ore., is visit- ing in the city this week. Mr. Young is planning to take down the green- houses he purchased recently in Port- land and rebuild them on his tract of land on Sixteenth avenue. He is as- sured of a welcome from the trade. The force at the flower shop of Bourn & Sons has been working overtime get- ting out funeral orders from neighbor- ing towns. Vernon Bourn has gone to Seattle, where he expects to go to work in the shipyards, leaving J. L.

A peculiarity of the market this week has been the large number of orders sent in from distances too great for satis- factory shipping. Canadian orders and orders from the northern points of Wis- consin, Minnesota and Michigan can hardly be taken care of without great risk and, as there is a big local de- mand, such orders in most cases have been refused. It is impossible, in fact, to fill all the orders that come through from what might be termed legitimate territory. Carnations have been partic- ularly short some days and other days there has been a scarcity of mums or roses. There has hardly been a day when something was not in overdemand. Orchids are practically out of the mar- ket since labiatas have been over. There are some Percivaliana, but they are small and Triana) will be the next to come in good supply. Sweet peas are arriving in small lots and the little Brunner roses from under glass are nice for corsages. There is no valley on the market. Camellias are coming in and there is some demand for them. Gar- denias are in short supply. Heather is beginning to make its appearance and while it has not yet come to its best color, it is useful in funeral work and for choice baskets. The price keeps up well, especially for Erica melanthera, the most attractive and best form for winter use. Towards the end of the week every- thing shortened up still more and it has been impossible for wholesalers to fill the orders that kept pouring in from all parts. The shortage of violets and mums is felt keenly. Local ferns gathered in the mountains in Los Angeles county are largely taking the place of the brake shipped in from Oregon and other northern points. Various Notes. . Harry C.

There has been a decided falling off in funeral work locally in the last week, but it cannot be said that the demand for flowers has slumped. Whether due to the peace negotiations, the end of the influenza epidemic, or both, the florists have noted a decided improvement in the call for flowers for home decoration, cor- sages and social uses generally, suffi- cient to keep them busy. The stock situation leaves nothing to be desired. There are enough flowers for all require- ments, but nothing is in oversupply, and the average quality is good. Prices are firm all along the line. Chrysanthemums no longer dominate the market. The downpour of rain early in the week shortened up the receipts considerably, but arrivals are heavier again the last day or two, with the return of sunshine. Bonnaffon is gone, leaving the market short of good yellow mums, especially medium-priced ones, as Appleton fills the demand for large, fancy stock. The rain helped the violets notice- ably. The arrivals now show ex- cellent quality and clean up closely, the shipping demand being particularly heavy. Boses were never better here at this time of the year. There is a splendid cut of Eussell, American Beauties, Ophelia and many other varie- ties, and each day sees the supply cleaned up closely. Carnations are get- ting more plentiful, but more good blooms could be used. Cut poinsettias S. MURATA & CO. Oldest and Most Experienced Sliippers in Soutliern California 380-386 So.

The flowers are as good as ajiy ever offered here for the Thanksgiving trade. Or- ders are being placed freely, as there is no misgiving as to whether they will clean up. Eed berries seem to be scarce this year and the price is higher than usual. Flowering plants are none too plentiful either, although the nurseries are beginning to send in some nice sea- sonable specialties. Potted ferns prom- ise to fill the gap nicely. Calla lilies are welcome, the market having been bare of lilies for many weeks. Various Notes. David Lichtenstein, the Terminal Florist, located opposite the Ferry build- ing, is back on duty after being ill for a few days, during which time Mrs. Lichtenstein looked after the business. She admits she had her hands full, with funeral work pouring in, help sick and her husband ill. She is much relieved to see conditions getting back to normal. H.

Figone, of Cohen & Figone, who conduct the flower stand in the Ferry building, returned recently from an ex- tended trip to New York by automobile. He was gone four months, having vis- ited many nurseries and florists' estab- lishments en route. Mr. Cohen says his force worked hard to keep pace with the funeral orders which poured in when the "flu" epidemic was at its worst. Now he is gratified to see the commuters again showing interest in corsages, table decorations, etc., thus breaking the mo- notony and depressing effect of so much funeral work.

Miss Eecardie Lee Murray reports business holding up well at her store in Geary street, near Larkin, and much more activity at her stands in the Clift and Whitcomb hotels than during the epidemic. Albert O. Stein executed a handsome decoration at the Fairmont hotel a few days ago for the wedding of Miss Hen- derson, daughter of Senator Henderson, of Nevada, and Lieutenant Selby, of Oakland. A magnolia hedge made a pleasing background and quantities of large chrysanthemums were used. The bride's bouquet was of white Ostrich Plume, phalaenopsis, cyclamen and gar- denias. Mr. Stein reports much improve- ment in counter trade in the last week and the outlook much better for floral decoration since conditions have begun to readjust themselves to a peace basis. He figures there will be a great deal of entertaining this winter and more liber- ality shown in the purchase of flowers for home adornment than has been the case for many months. Mrs. R. E. Darbee has been on the [Contlnui-d on page 84.] SPOKANE, WASH. The Market. Flowers are more plentiful this week than last and, while the demand is still above normal, the supply is increasing. Chrysanthemums are in good supply and the prices remain high. Roses and car- nations are still in great demand, but the shortage is being overcome. Potted plants will be short for Thanks- giving, as cyclamens are about the only plants offered in any quantity. Various Notes. Mr. Bernson, of the Bernson & Halle Greenhouses, Glenrose station, states that he will be able to supply sweet peas by the first of next week. These will be the first offered on the Spokane market. Mr. Rahn, of the Spokane Green- houses, located at Marshall Junction, quietly evaded his many Spokane friends last week and, after being absent for a few days, returned to Spokane with a bride. Mr. Rahn is not much of a hand to advertise his plans, but is certainly clever in his selections. The Spokane growers were visited last week by a clever swindler.

After an intermission of two months, the Portland Floral Society held one of the liveliest meetings November 19 in the history of the organization. Routine business had accumulated and required considerable attention. One new candi- date for membership was proposed. The action of the society remitting the dues of members in military service was extended to cover a case in which the most active member of a firm hold- ing membership was in the war zone. H. Niklas brought in a vase of White Maud Dean mums, which he said had been grown in a ground bed at Clackamas. A discussion arose as to the vitality of this variety now as com- pared with five or six years ago. Though the specimens shown were of excellent quality, it was generally conceded that this mum has depreciated in vigor.

PX7BLI0ITY CAMPAiaN. First Year Near End. One month now to the end of the year. We are nearly $5,000 short of the $50,- 000 required to put the 1918 stage of our campaign over the top — or, had we bet- ter say, to the top! Our committees have every reason to believe that subscriptions to complete the fund will not be wanting, and are going ahead with the program already laid out. Whyf Because the reports coming in to our promotion bureau are such as to make even the man with cold blood enthuse. East, north, south, mid- dle west and west, the feeling is that our publicity has had the effect of stimulat- ing business to a remarkable extent. If it was possible to accomplish this result in times such as we have just passed through, what are we to expect in the better times which are before us? Al- ready florists are asking why we did not start a campaign before. The an- swer is easy — we were not organized for the effort. Now, through the generous contributions of a large number of whole-hearted florists, we have ap- proached a point where we may well consider ourselves organized, and our work is having a telling effect. We wajit to keep going. We want our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," to be continually in the public mind, and we are proceeding in the right way to ac- complish it. Must Complete the Fund. But we must have the requisite funds to fully attain our object. We have had to anticipate the little shortage we are complaining of. Surely there are enough good souls among the large number of florists who have not yet subscribed to help us reach our goal. No matter whether a retail florist or a grower, the fund is worthy of support. It should be remembered that some florists have contributed as much as $500. There's faith for you. And these same florists are satisfied that they have had their money's worth in increased business. The more money, the more publicity, and the bigger the volume of business.

Robert Newcomb, manager of the new Miller Floral Co. store, Salt Lake City, Utah, is pushing the F. T. D. in the store's newspaper advertising and in so doing has coined a new phrase descrip- tive of the telegraph service. It is, "Distance no barrier; flowers tele- graphed everywhere." In a recent ad- vertisement this phrase, together with the name of the store, was placed over the silhouette of a city, with numerous telegraph wires extending from the foreground to the back. Mr. Newcomb is an enthusiastic believer in the value of the F. T. D. and is pushing it in his territory. HOW TO BE A BETTER MAN. "Be at war with your vices, be at peace with your neighbor, and let every new year find you a better man." Thus spoke Ben Franklin and aptly does the precept apply to present conditions per- taining to our publicity campaign. In the beginning of this venture we were met with opposition on the part of those who considered the time inoppor- tune for the inauguration of advertising on an extensive scale. Those who be- lieved otherwise joined in and reaped benefits by supporting the program as outlined. This project will continue to grow to much larger proportions, so that we may yet see every man connected with the florists' business finding him- self a better man through giving his share toward the general publicity fund, which will result in his receiving even more than he gave. I have yet to see it fail that the man who had the breadth of vision to con- tribute to a good cause received more KOVEMBGR 28, 1918.

Indications point to a demand that will be equal to the supply. Carna- tions are in fine condition and enjoy a growing demand at satisfactory prices. They have held steadily at $6 per hun- dred for the best since October and the increased supply renders higher prices unnecessary. Green goods, while moving satisfactorily, are not enjoying the de- mand that obtained in former years. Smilax especially is moving slowly and the majority of shipments are going to large wholesale centers for resale. Various Notes. Far-sighted members of the trade are attempting to foresee the conditions of supply and demand for December, and diverse and interesting are the conclu- sions arrived at.

Others are of the opinion that stock will be abundant and demand immense. An- other element believes that a resumption of the conditions of last October will occur and reflection confirms the logic of this prediction. Mums will be prac- tically out of the market. Boses will be in small supply, as those succeeding the October crop will not have time to mature, and carnations and other stock will be in such a stage of development as to make it impossible for them to fill the void created by the exhaustion of the mums. The demand is sure to be good. The revival of entertaining in social circles assures that. Hence it seems that the wheels of business will revolve- at a rapid pace for both retailer and wholesaler, with the advantage in the hands of the latter, perhaps. ...FLORIST... 426 Madison Avenue— and 49th Street AlaoTKBderblltand MAmm/ Vas>Ic RUi-c»ritoB Hotels HieW YOrK Telephone Murray Hill 783 Highest award at the International Flower Show.

[A paper read before the St. Louis Florists' Club at Its meeting October 4, by C. W. Wors.] The grower is the one most affected by a glut. It is important that he, as the producer, should know at all times whether his returns for the flowers shipped to the market reimburse him sufficiently for his investment, time and labor. He should keep as complete an account as possible of his receipts and expenditures, needless to say. Perhaps in these war times production is not 80 heavy as in normal times, but that there will be a glut now and then J. J.

So we should be prepared for it with some kind of system to prevent demoraliza- tion or injury to the legitimate florists' business. The grower, the wholesaler and the retailer each is dependent upon both of the others; but the onus of the situation falls principally on the grower, in my humble opinion. Therefore the grower should exercise care before tak- ing his flowers to the market. He should endeavor to have them in A-1 condition. He should bunch them care- fully, for one thing, and avoid putting, any cripples in the bunch in order to make up the count. Injurious Practices. The wholesaler frequently keeps left- overs in his iceboxes. Once or twice a week he may unload this stock on some merchant, to be disposed of at prices be- low the market.

IlIBBERD Proprietor faking either in the downtown stores or in the department stores, which for ad- vertising purposes sell flowers at such low figures as to put the legitimate flo- rists in an unenviable position. We frequently hear talk about giving the poor people a chance to buy flowers. This is good propaganda for the whole- saler. He loses nothing by it; in fact, he unloads his flowers. In many cases the flowers sold at reduced prices are in a condition, however, that reflects no credit on the vocation of floriculture and the purchaser of the flowers gets dis- gusted when he takes them home and finds them in poor condition. He is apt to consider thereafter that the purchase of flowers is a wasteful expenditure of money. I will cite an instance of poor judg- ment in disposing of the surplus, which occurred just before Mothers' day, when Enchantress carnations were retailed at 25 cents for two dozen. The next day, Mothers' day, 4 to 6 cents were the prices asked by the wholesalers for carnations. These fluctuations in prices of flowers are matters the general pub- lic never will understand and they in- evitably react in a manner injurious to the trade as a whole. WASHINGTON, D.

A Better Way. If the grower has a surplus of flowers, let him be the dispenser of charity him- self. Let him distribute his left-overs to the city institutions or to individual cases he may know of. Let him give his flowers to public hospitals only, however, so as not to conflict with the retailer, who gets orders from persons who can afford to pay for flowers and also to pay their way at private hospi- tals. Let flowers be sold always at fair prices. Gluts last only for a short time. If a retailer desires to sell his flowers at cut rates, he has the privilege. Let him curtail his own profits if he sees fit, but let him not ask the grower to be the loser with him, as the growing of the stock most certainly entitles the grower to a fair profit, at least, for his time and labor.

Lem W. Bowen is president and D. M. Ferry II is vice-president. Some destructive bean diseases, includ- ing pod-spot, are carried in the seed; so it is extremely important to observe the general rule that no seed should be saved from diseased plants. Never save seed from pods which are not bright and clean. The new warehouse of the Balcom Seed Co., Greeley, Colo., is provided with mod- ern equipment and is a model of con- venience. This concern gives employment to eighty-five hands, besides outside help. Weld county, in which it is located, is the home of the warehouses of three other companies dealing in seed beans, for which crop the climatic conditions are favorable. CHASGES FOB PACHINa. The buyers of bulbs this season have not as yet had much to say about the costs added to the price of bulbs — doubt- less because their breath was completely taken away! . But returning conscious- ness is bringing with it a splutter that indicates that it will be a long time be- fore the last is heard of the subject. It was natural that the cost should be greater than heretofore, because the shipments could be made only by way of England, involving trans-shipment, but no one was prepared for the number, variety or size of the items charged for. In many instances the charges seem to have been without rhyme or reason, but in one particular there is notable uni- formity: All the Holland exporters ap- pear to have made a uniform charge of $3 per case for the box and packing ma- terial. When it is considered that the exports to America totaled 18,000 cases it becomes apparent that the exporters thereby added to their invoices the rather tidy sum of $54,000. Even in a country notoriously without wood, $54,- OOO should buy quite a few boxes; to say the least, the frugal Hollander lost noth- ing. Our French friends appear to have missed a bet. The packing charges for the French bulbs were somewhat less than $1 per case. ON FIXEKO BESAIiE PBICES. Affecting Packet Seeds. In view of the disposition of the Fed- eral Trade Commission to take cogni- zance of the custom of the commission box seed houses in fixing prices on their wares, as shown by the recent complaint against D. M. Ferry & Co., the state- ment of the attitude of that body will be of interest to many seedsmen. Siich a statement was made at Cleveland last week by William B. Colver, chairman. He said in part: As to Resale Price Maintenance.

'*And now a word about the Colgate case, in which you are all especially in- terested and in which, naturally, the Federal Trade Commission is likewise deeply interested. * ' This case, although only recently de- cided, has been the subject of earnest study and thought by the commission, and I have asked Governor Fort, the dean of the commission, a man deeply learned in the law, to reduce to writing the result of our study and discussion of this case. Governor Fort says: It doea not ai>pear that the decision of the District court, in the case of the United State* vm. Colgate & Co., has any effect upon the ques- tion of resale prices under the Clayton Act or the act creating the Federal Trade Commission. The act under which the Colgate indictment was found Is the Sherman Act, passed in 1890, and a careful reading of the opinion of Judge Waddell In the Colgate case fails to show any decision except such as relates to a criminal proceeding under the Sherman Act. The only anestion decided by the court, as the opinion will bow, was whether under the Sherman Act "a manufacturer of a given article may not, without Incurring criminal liability, refuse absolutely to sell the same at any price, or to sell at a named sum to a customer, with the understanding that inch customer will resell only at an agreed price between them"; and whether, "should the cus- tomer not obserre the understanding as to retail (resale) prices, exercise his (seller's) undoubted nght to decline further to deal with such per- sons." Civil liability is in no way mentioned in the opinion. The Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act are, neither of them, men- tioned in the opinion. These acts provide only civil offense penalties. Under Section 3 of the Clayton Act, It Is ex- pressly enacted that "it shall be unlawful • • • to sell or contract for sale of goods, wares and merchandise, • • • or fix the price charged therefor, or dlsconnt from or rebate upon, such prices, on condition, agreement or understanding * • * where the effect of such • • • sale, or contract for sale, or such condition, • • • may be to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in any line of commerce." And Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act reads as follows: "Unfair methods of com- fietltlon In commerce are hereby declared un- awful." It would seem that It Is an unfair method of commerce to sell to a customer an article for which he pays, and to whom the title passes, upon the sale, with any condition or restriction as to the terms upon which he in turn may sell. "Under the Sherman Law a manufac- turer may, unless the refusal is in fur- therance of an unlawful plan, sell or refuse to sell at his pleasure. Under the Clayton Law, not so. Under the Com- mon Law a man has an inalienable right to deal lawfully with his own property. The retailer, owning his merchandise, may, bona fide, sell at any price or give away and, under the Clayton Law, he must not be discriminated against." Seems to Let Seedsmen Out.

K. on the seed trade's methods. The custom of all who put up packet seeds for the commission box trade is to retain title to the seeds until they are sold to the planter; the retailer merely is the agent of the seedsman and at no time holds title to the seeds, sup- posing, of course, that the commission agreement actually accomplishes its pur- pose. Occasionally a price-cutter somewhere sells out the stock of seeds, with which he has been provided, at prices less than those printed on the packets and tenders settlement otherwise than in the terms of the agreement.

After repeated setbacks, owing to in- fluenza and closing orders, it has finally been decided to open the Liberty fair November 23, and the flower show com- mittee has been called upon for a hurry- up decision as to dates and exhibits. Naturally with such a short time to pre- pare, and in view ot the fact that much of the stock has passed its prime, the members had a hard row to hoe, espe- cially as T. Wright, the former chair- man, had to be out of town, and C. Gut- ting, one of the real hustlers, was down with influenza. This left it up to F, R. Hills, F. Lichtenberg and H. R. Rich- ards to lick the thing into shape, which they hope to do by the opening date of the flower show, November 27. Many of those who promised to exhibit suffered from chill in the pedal extremities, but others are standing loyally by their promises. Dahlias being out of the mar- ket and the mums so nearly gone, will of course greatly diminish the display. Preparedness is always a virtue and WHY DON'T YOU ORDER SOME spen""^r^ Sweet Peas?

Siebrecht, Jr., of Pasadena, notes a livening up on business, especially among his clientele at the principal ho- tels in the Crown City. The H. N. Gage Co., Inc., of Monte- bello, is propagating and will exhibit a new sport of Nephrolepis Teddy, Jr. It is a crested form, growing erect, and it is a distinct variety. It was origi- nally detected in a batch of the parent kind by W. Squires, who was in the employ of the Gage Co. for fourteen years. Mr. Squires has been overseas during the greater part of the war. Mr. Gage probably will name the fern for him when it is ready for dissemination. H. E. Eichards. SALT LAKE OITT. [Continued from page 47.] offices. Now there are the Lambourne Floral Co., the Huddart Floral Co., L. C. Miller, etc., each occupying an up-to- date store independently. However, there is one essential lacking in this district. That is a nursery business. All the retailers in this and smaller cities in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming are looking to find sufficient stock from Salt Lake markets and supplies are always short in all seasons. During the war all the retailers in this region suffered from the difficulty experienced in ob- taining sufficient stock and the only way they could fill orders satisfactorily was by obtaining stock from California. There is room for a number of nursery- men to operate profitably in this region. Coal is cheap, water plentiful, railroad facilities splendid, the soil fine and the climate better than in more densely populated regions. The demand for flowers is immense all through the year. Growers are getting better prices for flowers here than in any other state of the Union at any time. The public and the retailers want more growers, more greenhouses and a larger supply. The "flu," which swept over this re- gion recently, was reported to be under control, but it has returned and cases are reported daily now in large numbers. Of course this unfortunate occurrence has brought a heavy demand for flowers. Market prices of flowers are higher now than last week. The last few days of cloudy weather and short supplies from California both contributed to reduce stocks to the point of distress. Various Notes. The death of Miss Mabel G. Atkin, of Pocatello, Ida., is noted in the obituary column. The Salt Lake Florists' Association held its meeting at the store of the Hud- dart Floral Co. November 20 to discuss the matter of donations of flowers to the Bed Cross and other charity organiza- tions. The plans of the florists will be reported in the next issue. The president of the ' ' Church of Lat- ter Day Saints," Joseph F. Smith, com- monly known as the president of the Mormon church, died November 19 at the age of 80 years. President Smith being also the head of many Mormon institu- tions, such as banks, an insurance .com- pany, schools, wholesale and retail busi- ness institutions, and several social or- ganizations, his funeral will be one of the most elaborate ever held in this city. The florists are making all possible preparations to meet a heavy demand for funeral work. The date of the fu- neral has not been announced. G. K. U.

They are 4-inch reproductions of Fraternal Emblems embossed in gold and the colors demanded by each Fraternal Order How are they used? They are attached to the ribbon or chififon of any floral offering. Why are they of such help to the Florist? They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M, They save wire desltfos; for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and flowers as scarce and high as they will be the coming winter. They save lettering. Think of that. If attached to door badges alone, they are worth many times their cosi. What do they coat? They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen cash, and should retail for 50c each, or $6.00 per dozen. An order of two dozen ($4.00 Ctsh) gets the exclusive use of Frat-M's for one year in cities of 25,000 or less. They can be bought from your wholesale supply house, or the STATE FAIR FLORAL CO..

The real estate columns of the Chi- cago daily papers record a loan to "Wil- liam A. Peterson, proprietor of Peterson Nursery, of $80,000, payable in five years, with interest at five per cent, se- cured on seventy-four acres adjoining the nursery. This is to enable Mr. Peterson to complete a subdivision development started just before the war, when Mr. Peterson sold the acreage to a firm of subdividers, who soon found themselves in deep water. The nurseryman took over the project to save anybody a loss. NUBSERY STOCK PRICES. E. B. Drake Discusses Them. That the law of supply and demand should not operate in fixing the prices of nursery stock, but that nurserymen instead should base them on the cost of production, is the contention of E, B. Drake, proprietor of the Cumberland Nurseries, Winchester, Tenn. Mr. Drake, says that "nurserymen should establish! a schedule of prices that are uniform and then stick to them." "It is my conclusion that in this era of better prices some business methods should be devised which would lift the nurseryman's price schedule above the fluctuations of supply and demand, thus stabilizing the business," says Mr. Drake. "It seems to me that the law of supply and demand is not a natural law like the law of gravitation, but rather a matter of business practice. The price derived from supply and de- mand does not represent the value, or cost of production, but is a matter of expediency. I believe that Adam Smith, when he enunciated his law of supply and demand, simply interpreted busi- ness conditions and practices as he found them at the time he published his 'Wealth of Nations,' which was in 1776, before the da"ys of railroads, steamships, telegraph and swift postal service. I believe that it is a rule of thumb that will hamper any enterprise that does not realize that the whole tendency of modern business is towards the amalgamation of interests. The Law of Supply and Demand. "Adam Smith took land and labor as the sources of all wealth. All tillers of the soil, as I understand it, are ex- empted from the penalties of the Anti- Trust laws; they have the privilege of organizing and fixing prices without fear of hindrance. I believe that farm- ers will take advantage of this priv- ilege and you will witness the main- SHADE TREES, SHRUBBERY, ETC All kinds of hardy plants; also fruit trees of every description.

They have a right to unite upon a fair price, and if they do not go beyond a fair price in their demands they will not be molested.

This purchase included the land sur- rounding the buildings, amounting to eight and one-half acres. The holdings of the company also have been increased by the addition of 180 acres and a num- ber of good buildings to the nurseries ten miles east of Neosho. I MIOHIGAN CONDITIONS. "Our trade throughout the summer and fall has been satisfactory, a large percentage of the business for fall de- livery running to ornamentals, which we grow extensively for landscape trade," says C. A. Krill, president wid general manager of the PrudenUal Nursery Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. W» do not handle many fruits in the fall, but have as many orders, measured by dollars and cents, on the books now for spring delivery as we had a year ago at the middle of January. There is every probability that there will be sufficient winter trade to exhaust the supply of fruit stock well in advance of the plant- ing season. Fruit trees of all kinds are scarce and should not be equal to the demand for at least two, and probably three years. There is also a lively de- mand for small fruits, with a decided underproduction of plants. With these conditions prevailing, together with scarcity of labor in the nurseries and increased cost of production, higher prices are certain. *'A8 to ornamentals, we have experi- enced a much livelier demand for de- ciduous shrubs than we anticipated early in the season, and this demand we expect to see increased now that the war is over. There will be for the spring trade a shortage of roses and some varieties of shrubs, vines and evergreens, which Europe usually fur- nishes to the American nurserymen. On the whole, the outlook appears bright for the nursery business." New London, O. — E. E.

Prof. Lovitt described the life history and habits of the larvae and adults, showing that they breed in May and June, during a period of five or six weeks. The same generation thus ap- pears in all stages of development throughout the late spring, summer and early fall. Prof. Lovitt recommended spraying with nicotine solutions in the proportion of one to 400 parts, which he said had been used successfully in an ex- periment at an eastern college. Several members questioned the virtue of the spray so reduced in strength. One mem- ber advocated quassia chips and whale oil for outdoor use, but his experience did not cover plants under glass. Prof. Lovitt said the writer of the bulletin advocating the nicotine spray claimed that the one to 400 strength solution would penetrate the epidermis of the leaves and kill a large per cent of the larvae, which were feeding on the plants. The cyclamen grub has been giving trouble to the growers here for several years. The O. A. C. has been investi- gating methods of controlling it for two years. At present the college recom- mends sterilizing the soil by heat or chemicals, after the plants have been potted some time, as it is believed that while the eggs of the beetle forming the grub may be introduced with ma- nure, such introduction is not usual. J. H. Baehr read an article which he published recently* in the local dailies, calling attention to the fact that grow- ers of plants were longer-lived than other people, generally speaking, and that plants in the home, by giving warn- ing, by drooping, of unsanitary condi- tions, tend to conserve health. President Steele surrendered his chair to B. Tonseth, who immediately or- ganized a kangaroo court, with T. W. Scott as prosecuting attorney and W. Thompson as bailiff, much to the diver- sion of the members. Fines exacted from several victims were ordered do- nated to the War Relief fund in the name of the society. Various Notes.

Eaymond E. Durham, State Fuel Ad- ministrator for Illinois, has notified the county fuel administrators through- out the state to inform all florists that they may have all the bituminous coal in prepared sizes they want in addition to the fifty per cent allotment allowed under the restriction order of last April. While permission to florists to secure a full quota of coal was given by U. S. Fuel Administrator Garfield several weeks ago, the order made it optional with the state administrators to put it into effect, or withhold it, as local con- ditions warrant. The order relating to coal for florists, sent by Administrator Durham to the county administrators, is as follows: "Owing to the fact that Illinois is in a more favorable position in relation to its fuel supply than many other states, and that because of the work which you have so ably assisted us in doing this summer in preparing for the exigencies of the winter we are prepared to definitely state that in our opinion there is no danger of any shortage of coal for the domestic consumer in Illi- nois, some restrictions heretofore ex- isting as conservation measures can be lifted. "You are therefore authorized to an- nounce that florists are permitted to re- ceive and burn bituminous coal without hi^ving such fuel apply on their fifty per cent quota, as defined by the fuel ad- ministration curtailment order of April 24, 1918, whenever there is a surplus of such fuel which in your opinion can be spared for such purpose. If you need assistance in procuring this fuel, please notify our dealers' distribution department. ' ' ONE TANK FOR TWO SYSTEMS. I wish to get a little advice on a pro- posed change in my heating system. My residence has been heated from the greenhouse boilers, which are about forty feet from the residence. There is a 42-gallon expansion tank in the attic of the residence. The tank is about twenty-two feet above the top of the boilers, which are in a pit. I find that I cannot heat the residence satisfactorily with the present equipment. In severe weather there is not enough boiler ca- pacity. At other times, when little or no heat is needed in the greenhouses, I have to keep large boilers going to heat the residence. My plan is to install a separate boiler in the residence and the question that troubles me is this: Would it be advis- able to connect the new boiler to the present expansion line, leading to the attic of the residence, or to put in a separate expansion tank for the resi- dence boiler? Would you leave the pres- ent tank in the attic, where it is twenty- two feet above the boilers, or move it to DDDDDDDaDOaDDDaDaaaODDDDDDD ° KROESCHELL BOILERS ° D D D D D D D D D D D D a a a D □ D D □ D D D D D D D D D O a D D D D D D D D D D D D a D D D D D D D D D D a Will put high temperatures into your heating lines.

The superiority of our boilers has resulted in the removal and abolishment of hundreds of cast iron sectional boilers— in every instance KROESCHELL BOILERS give more heat with the same piping with less fuel. KROESCHELLfBOILERS have no bulky, soot-accumulating surfaces— you avoid the disagreeable work and trouble indis- pensable to cleaning boilers with complicated and tortuous back andfforth fire passages. NOT CAST IRON NOT CAST IRON The high safety factor of KROESCHELL BOILERS eliminates the danger of cracking and break-down risks. Successful greenhouse owners everywhere insist upon KROE- SCHELL BOILERS because they are dependable and economical — you get better and longer service— you can reduce your heating costs by burning the cheapest grades of soft coal. It is a sign of scientific management to own a KROESCHELL —a business management that insures a responsive, eflScient and profitable heatingTsystem. The supremacy of KROESCHELL BOILERS is proven by their country-wide adoption. Our Water Tube Steam Boiler MAKE SURE YOU GET A KROESCHELL. KROESCHELL BROS. CO., 444 W.

The Florists^ Review 83 It Nurses Along Your Coal Pile THERE are days when you first start firing in the fall, and continue in the late spring, when half your fire would be plenty. Still you want it lively enough so it will start up quickly to meet sudden changes. Running a low banked fire on the entire grate is not satisfactory. There is a needlessly large bed of coals, most of it mostly asleep. With the Burnham, the grates shake half at a time— a front half and a back half. You can bank the back half with ashes, and run the front half. It gives you a complete con- trol of a body of coal that will slumber along, or start up in a jiffy. Saves you coal. Saves you bother. Saves you anxiety. For full details see Page 98 new Handy Hand Book. Builders of Greenhouses and Conservatories SALES OFFICES: NEW YORK CHICAGO ROCHESTER CLEVELAND 42nd Street Bldgr. Continental &.

It will be entirely feasible to connect both boilers to the present expansion tank. There is no objection to having the tank elevated and at some distance from the radiating system, provided there is no danger that the tank or con- necting pipe will freeze. There is often a decided advantage in the extra eleva- tion, as it tends to increase the tempera- ture to which the water may be raised before it will boil, and thus lessens the danger of "boiling over," at the same time increasing the heating efficiency of the system, especially in extremely cold weather.

[Continued from pafife 46.] sick list as the result of overwork, but she is expected back at the store again in a few days. Meanwhile business is reported good by her staff. A good many chrysanthemums are still being shipped daily and violet shipments are gaining in proportions rapidly as the season advances. The California Floral Co., on Cali- fornia street, near Hyde, is looking for- ward to an excellent Thanksgiving trade and is making preparations accordingly. G. Kosaia, of Bosaia Bros., Seattle, Wash., has returned home after spend- ing a month in San Francisco. His brother, P. L. Bosaia, with the Art Flo- ral Co., in this city, was home for a week taking care of other members of the family down with influenza. He escaped and is back on duty as usual. Julius Eppstein, who conducts the flower stand in the St. Francis hotel, expected to be called for army service before this, but doubts now whether he will even get to the training camp. During the epidemic there was practi- cally no call for flowers, he says, except funeral orders, so it seems good to have interest return in social work. He has a nice wedding decoration for next month. Mr. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Bal- docchi, looks for a good Thanksgiving business, on the assumption that people have much to be thankful for this year and will feel disposed to buy liberally. He also anticipates a banner Christmas trade. After the rush of funeral work, he says it is a great relief to have con- ditions return to normal. One day re- cently his firm made five palls, besides a large number of floral pieces. Everything is in readiness at B. M Joseph's for a banner Thanksgiving business. A specialty will be made of fancy basket arrangements. A. J. Bossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., says that while there are not nearly so many funerals per day as was the case for three or four weeks, there is still a big call for funeral work, which he at- tributes to the fact that burials are not so rushed now, thus giving people more chance to order flowers. He notes a decided change in the attitude of customers entering the store since the turn in international affairs. There is more inclination toward joyousness and less inclination to curtail on expendi- tures. Mr. Bossi looks for many parties and other social events to take place this winter, which will make for good business for the florists ' trade. He says the demand for flowers held up well during the war times, but he does not question that peace conditions are more "White Coal" Black Coal Help Save the "White Coal of Industry" The boiling hot water resulting from condensation in your steam lines is worth money. You have paid for it in terms of coal. It contains valuable heat units. It is the "White Coal of Industry" — it should not be wasted. And it need not be wasted. The Morehead Back- to - Boiler System will save it for you by returning it to the boiler at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It reduces coal consumption an average of 20%. At the same time your steam will be "drier" and more efficient; your production speeded up and profits increased.

A yellow celosia plant, standing over six feet high, in the win- dow of Pelicano, Bossi & Co. 's store, has attracted much attention. Until the will of the late Mrs. Mary D. Boland, proprietor of the florists' store in Kearny street bearing the name of her late husband, J. B. Boland, is probated, the business will be con- tinued as usual under the management of Charles Shellgrain. Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, Cal., who in normal times makes frequent trips to San Francisco, paid his respects to the trade this week, after an absence of over a month, which he explained by the announcement that he had been too rushed with funeral work to get away. Seeing that he had lost ten pounds in weight since his last visit, his friends here accepted his explanation without comment, in view of the fact that some of them also tip the scales several pounds lighter as the result of the hard work of the last month, notably J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. McLellan Co. Mr. Ebel says his force not only had all the work it could handle locally during the influenza epidemic, but was called upon to ship quantities of flowers to outside points, which kept it on the job from early morning till 12 and 2 o'clock at night. He considers pros- pects excellent for good business with the return of peace. One of the most gratifying features in his estimation is that people generally are prosperous and not inclined to haggle over prices. J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan Co., reports stock clearing up daily and holiday orders for roses accumulating, especially for Eussells and American Beauties. He is also shipping a good many violets. Domoto Bros, have a nice cut of roses for Thanksgiving. The rain stopped chrysanthemum ship- ments to distant points for a few days, but the United Flower & Supply Co. continued to fill orders to Sacramento, Stockton and other California cities without interruption. This firm is send- ing out a good many roses now and vio- let orders are on the increase. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., has no complaints to make about business, A8 shipping orders continue brisk and the local demand leaves nothing to be desired. C. Kooyman considers the outlook for Thanksgiving business unusually good, and is also looking forward to a banner December trade. M. M.

MOSS AS SURGICAL DBESSING. The value of sphagnum moss as a surgical dressing is now generally known, and there are forty-five depots in Ireland to which the moss is sent to be made up into surgical dressings of standard sizes. Over 100 collecting sta- tions scattered over the country supply moss to the Eoyal College of Science in Dublin. Nearly 1,000,000 finished ar- ticles made of this moss have now been exported, apart from the work done by the Ulster Sphagnum Moss Association. In 1915 the demand on the Irish organ- ization came almost entirely fr^™ France, but gradually and steadily it in- creased, till now a constant stream of supplies goes to military hospitals in Ireland, England, France, Italy, Salo- nika, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Mankato, Minn.— E. C. Willard, who had a freeze-up last year, now has his place in first-class shape and with, he thinks, sufficient heating capacity to carry him through even the most severe of seasons. His specialty is vegetables under glass, but he grows pansies and geraniums for spring trade and expects to develop a wholesale business in young stock. 96 The Florists^ Review NOVEMBEll 28, 1918.

Look about you I On every hand, in every line of commercial activity there is the hum of preparation. Preparation, not for war. but for PEACE. Shops that have stood silent and empty for many months are beginning to resound to the sound of machinery that is to turn out peace-time products. The ban has been lifted— the bars are down— the Kates are open to the alive, the alert, the active, the worth-while men in every line. And the roll of these worth-while men in your line is being called now — today. Your name is on that roll and it's ringing out strong and clear. Are you going to answer? There's only one way to answer yes, and that's to throw all your energies, enthusiasm, pep and punch into high gear and put every ounce of your being and force into your business with the object of making it the best business of its kind in your community, city, state or country. You don't have to watch the Hindenburg line any more— but you do have to watch your own line — your eave line— your ridge and — if you want to be in strong— you want to watch THE AGMCO line. \/m Pana, 111. i saies offices: \ Chicago (Drawer 33S) ( ) (Masonic Temple) Q I General Office and Factory : Pana, Illinois •iiiiMLn#iinMizi-MO}=^o*'AGMcn*iinj=!in«iin!=!ci*ia>= OFFICE AT CHICAi . .-^ ONDEB THE ACT OF MARCH S ISTS *B7E^ A.WEEKLY JOURNAL"* FLORISTS.

'^i^ y^^^^""^^"^ wmm RECONSTRUCTION CAMPS IN GREENHOUSES Educating the American soldiers who were maimed in the fighting in France in some work that they are able to do is one of the things the United States government has undertaken. Growing flowers in greenhouses is one of the courses taught. Here is how they do it at Fort McPherson, Ga. mmi HEN the maimed among the many thousands of wound- ed American soldiers reach home during the next few months they will find that Uncle Sam and his neph- ews are prepared to receive them. Not only will they get the enthusiastic wel- come that is their due, but they will find that preparations have been made to take care of them until they have regained their strength and that then opportunities will be at hand to re-educate them in some useful and profitable occupations that they can do to become self-supporting. Through the cooperation of the Amer- ican Eed Cross, Federal Board for Vo- cational Education, authorized by an act of congress, and the U. S. War De- partment, aided by many public spirited citizens, reconstruction "camps," as they are caMsd, have been and are be- ing established in many parts of the country. Here the maimed soldiers, after they have been discharged from the hospitals and convalescent camps, will be wel- oome and given an opportunity to learn any one of many voca- tions that they physic- ally are able to follow. Teaching Our Work. One of these voca- tions that already is being taught is that of growing flowers. So far few maimed soldiers have been returned to this country, and are attending 'the schools that have been estab- lished in greenhouse ranges near the army camps. There are, how- ever, hundreds of sol- diers who are conval- escing from sickness and injury in the train- ing camps attending the classes in floricul- ture. And to these pupils will be added as soon as they are able the men who have lost an arm or a leg, or otherwise have become unfitted for the occupa- tion they followed be- fore they entered the army. This system of "re-education" was first adopted in the European countries that were at war with one another. Early in the hostilities the problem of caring for the maimed soldiers engaged the attention of the governments and schools of all kinds were established. What the armless, the legless, the blind and the otherwise mutilated men have accomplished is one of the many amaz- ing things the war has produced. The results of this plan, however, have justi- fied the belief that, except in extreme cases, there are things that these men can do to earn their living and some- thing beside. It also solved the problem that has followed every war — caring for the disabled. Profit by Europe's Experience. When the United States entered the war, far-sighted men, profiting by the experience in the European countries, set out to establish similar reconstruc- tion schools in the United States. And many of them now are in operation. One of these is located at Fort Mc- Pherson, near Atlanta, Ga., in connec- tion with U. S. Army General Hospital Xo. 6. After the various courses of in- ^.. ?*. «».-"-"^^' Teaching the Maimed to Grow Flowers. struction had been planned, and green- house flower and vegetable growing had been included in the curriculum, it was necessary to find a suitable "school- room" for the latter. For this purpose the C. A. Dahl Co., Atlanta, offered the use of a range of 60,000 square feet of glass. The illustration on this page shows the convalescent soldiers at work in the greenhouse. The illustration on the following page shows the Dahl range, where the soldiers daily attend "school." The work at the Dahl range is de- scribed by Major John L. Eiley, U. S. A., chief educational officer at the hospital, as "for curative purposes of convales- cent patients of U. S. General Hospital No. 6, Fort McPherson, Ga." Of the work Major Riley says: ' ' The greenhouse work of U. S. Army General Hospital No. 6 is only one of a half dozen courses in agriculture con- ducted by the Reconstruction Division for the benefit of disabled soldiers. Among the other courses are vegetable gardening, on an 8-acre plot adjoining the hospital, cotton growing and fer- tilizing, conducted chiefly by excur- sions to surrounding farms and plants, farm mechanics, con- ducted within the hos- ]iital, where several thousand dollars' worth of machinery is used under a temporary tent, and farm tractor opera- tion, which is taught in the midst of the wards, where a small plot of ground is being used for practice in running tractors. Business Men Lend Aid. "The machines for the course in farm mechan- ics and the farm trac- tors have been loaned to the Reconstruction Division by generous businest men of At- lanta, who are deeply interested in promoting the welfare of the pa- tients. All the work in ' agriculture carried on by the Reconstruction Division is in charge of Sergeant George M. Darrow, who, before coming into the service, was employed in the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture aa 10 The Florists^ Review Decbmbgr 5, li)18.

"Private Talhursi. a X. w Vork state greenhouse man, is in charge at the greenhouses fur Camp Gorilon; I'rivato Carl Johnson, a Massachusetts green- house man, and Private Sandlin, gradu- ate of Al.abama Agricultural College, liave been in charge of the groups of the convalescent ]iatients. "The jiatients are taken to the green- houses each day in autos, leaving the hosjiital at 8 o'clock in the morning anil returning about noon, the distance from the hospital to the greenhouses being about five miles. Sev^^ral houses hace already been planted to lettuce, mostly the Grand Rapids variety. There have also been ])lanted onions. New Zealand spinach, radishes, tomatoes, etc. The flowers grown in the greenhouses and taken by General Hospital Xo. (5 as its share are used to brighten the hospital w'ards. The vegetables are sent to the soldiers' mess at the resi)ective camps. Greenhouse Course Popular. "The course lias been jiopular with the patients. They have the ride in the autos to the greenhouses; they are occu- pied in doing something they like; they have an ojiportunity to learn the Ijusi- ness of flower and vegetable growing, and they recover more (juickly than they otherwise would. The patients taking this work have visited other grecnliouse ranges in Atlanta and have been re- ceived and shown over the establish- ments in the most cordial manner. "It is difficult to overestimate the value of such work as the convalescent jtatieiits are doing in these various courses in agriculture. Soldiers coming from the farming sections find that while tliey are recovering in tlic hos- ]tital an ojiportunity is offered them to familiarize themselves with the most up-to-date machinery used in f;irming, and to learn from able and practical in- structors something more about the science of agriculture than was possible to learn in their home communities. The courses must, of necessity, be brief and the instruction intensive. Many disabled soldiers, however, will have their minds thoroughly awakened through these short courses and will return to their homes with increased efliciency and more alert minds. This result will be in addition to the cura- tive effects of the work, which are undoubtedly great." Many Maimed Soon to Come. Before spring comes there will bo many hundreds of veterans of the (J rent War at school in the reconstruction camps of the country. Courses in grow- ing llowcrs will undoubtetlly lie far from •as coTuplete as those taught in the st;ite agricultural colleges, but as the soldiers are allowed to pick the thing they like to do, and as the thing a man likes to do he usually does well, there will be numerous additions to the supply of greenhouse workers before a year rolls around. Helping a man to help himself is one of the most satisfying things anyone can do. The reeducation or rehabilita- tion of these maimed men is a great work and will receive the whole-hearted support of the florists' trade. Incidentally it will be noted that the tlowcrs the soldiers grow at Fort Mc- Pherson are "used to brighten the hos- pital wards." To the hundreds of pa- tients in the hospital, sickness ever more will bring thoughts of flowers. Here is another of the many examples of what the war has done to increase the use of flowers.

SAFE AT BRUGES. A Pritisli trade ]'a]ier learns tliat the business af the nursery of Sander &: Sons, at St. Andre, Bruges. Helgium, has been carrieil on by the staff during the four years the town has l)een in the occupation of the Germans. Messrs. Sander have received a letter from the manager, T. ]\Iellstrom, who is well known to many readers of The Eeview because of his Journeys in the United States, informing them that he is well, but that the nursery has suffered con- siderable damage, mainly in broken glass. lie also states that they have been able to maintain a portion of the stock of plants. It is regrettable that the head of the clerical dejiartment was l\illed on the d.ay before the town was liberated. During the earlier jiart of tlie war business was ])0ssible, mainly with America, but in recent times all coniniunication witii the head establish- ment at St. Aib.-ins has ceased, and there ^\as no knowledge as to whether the nursery was even in existence. It is to be hojied, says the Cardeners' Chronicle, that the many large nursery ost.'iblishments in and about (ihent ma.v be etpially fortunate in escaidng total destruction, as the nursery trade of Ghent and Bruges was one of tlic ])rin- cipal industries of this part of Jielgium.

The florists of Milwaukee and Milwau- kee county, Wis., are enthusiastic over their cooperative advertising campaign and December 1 had a half page adver- tisement in the daily newspapers. The advertisement is reproduced in the ac- companying illustration. While cooperative advertising is far from being novel, the methods adopted by the florists of the Wisconsin metrop- olis to raise the money to pay for the publicity are out of the ordinary. By an agreement between growers, whole- salers and retailers every sale by both the growers and wholesalers is taxed and the money turned over to the treas- urer of the Florists' Advertising Club, an organization having a state charter. A. H. McDonald, manager of the floral department of Gimbel Bros., has charge of the advertising and prepared the ad- vertisement shown herewith. Mr. Mc- Donald describes the Milwaukee plan from its inception as follows: "During the month of September, 1917, a general meeting of the growers, wholesalers and retailers of Milwaukee county was called. A prospectus of the proposed organization was read and the by-laws that had been prepared were accepted with minor changes. The Flo- rists ' Advertising Club was incorporated under the state laws, without capital and not for profit. Since that time sig- natures of members have been secured and money raised to start the advertis- ing. How the Money Is Secured. "The plan of securing the money is as follows: "Every grower marketing his product through the local commission houses has one-half of one per cent deducted from his returns. This amount is placed to the credit of the advertising fund. Every purchaser of flowers from a wholesaler has one per cent of the in- voice added to his bill. Thus a $10 pur- chase is billed at $10,10. The whole- salers' part in the organization is to keep the books, collect the amounts and turn the money over to the treasurer of the Advertising Club. "The club is controlled -by nine di- rectors, elected by the members. Three growers, three wholesalers and three re- tailers constitute the board of directors. All appropriations are allowed by this board and the directors approve the bills. The mediums used for advertis- ing have been posters, newspapers and street car cards. The results have been satisfactory. Expansion Is Planned. "We hope to double our advertising fund by increasing the growers' tax to one per cent and the retailers' tax to two per cent. "How well we have succeeded in en- lightening the public as to why flowers should be used is shown by the satis- factory business the florists have ex- perienced since the advertising was begun. "The officers of the club are: Presi- dent, H. V. Hunkel; vice-president. Gust. Rusch; treasurer, A. Leidiger; secretary, H. J. Seel. "One of the things accomplished by the club is the elimination of petty jealousies among the florists. Also they have been taught the big lesson of co- operation." BABY BAMBLEBS FOB EASTEB.

You need not start these plants until the middle of Janu- ary. At that time place them in a night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. Advance this 10 degrees as the plants break. As Easter comes moderately late next year, you will not need to force your plants hard to have them in flower on time. C. W. WOBMS IN LEAF-MOLD. I have had trouble with small worms from rotted leaf-mold on my cyclamens, Begonia Lorraine, ferns, etc. I noticed the worms two or three weeks after pot- ting up the plants in the leaf -mold. I took the begonias out this summer and washed the soil off the roots, I then took some of the leaf-mold and thor- oughly sterilized it, so that I could be sure no living thing could be in it, and potted up the begonias in this sterilized leaf -mold. Shortly afterwards I noticed a small fly, just like a house fly newly hatched out. The flies appeared in large numbers when the plants were syringed. The worms are whitish and glassy looking, about one-eighth of an inch in length. The plants are stunted in growth and the worms are on the leaf -mold as thick as ever, although I placed the pots on a shelf so they could not get started out of the ashes on the bench. We always have had good success with these plants and we never saw these worms or flies before. Would like to hear of a rem- edy. G. F. C— la. The worms are new to me, but perhaps some other reader of The Review may have had the same pests .and be able to offer a better remedy thao I can give. Sterilization, preferably with steam, of all potting compost will kill everything in the soil. For winged insects frequent fumigation will be necessary. I use hydrocyanic acid gas, unless the weather is extremely warm, but this is a danger- ous thing to use unless in experienced hands. In its stead I would suggest one X>t the nicotine papers or extracts, giving applications once a week while the flies are on the wing, or more fre- quently if necessary, C, W. WIBEWOBMS. Will you please tell me how to get rid of wirewormsf I am growing let- tuce and cucumbers. They do not give any trouble in the cut flower houses. Do you think that tobacco mulch would drive them away? F. J. G. — Wis. Make a cornmeal mash, which should be well sweetened with molasses. Add Paris green or dry arsenate of lead in sufficient quantity to slightly color the whole. Lay the mash at intervals over your beds or benches and cover with pieces of board or shingles. Great num- bers will be poisoned in this way. Fresh clover, lettuce leaves or spinach leaves can be poisoned with arsenate of lead and will answer the same purpose. All poisons are better covered, A mulch of tobacco dust would help to clean out the pests. C. W. Midland, Mich.— P, E. Penfold has rented Mrs. W. E, Thayer's greenhouse. Decbmbbb 5, 1918.

Many Thousands Sail for Home. There is a strong probability that many thousands of the soldiers with General Pershing's American Expedi- tionary Forces will have returned to the United States before Christmas. The movement homeward already has begun and the first of the crusaders for the cause of liberty will have returned be- fore this is read. The others will follow as rapidly as transports can be supplied. However, more than a million men will remain in Europe to police the German territory the Allies are holding until such a time as peace has been restored and a stable government has been es- tablished by Germany and the other Central Powers. Among these thou- sands of soldiers returning will be many members of our trade who have been helping in the fighting in France. As they return The Review will be glad to publish their names. Also as the boys who were at the training camps in this country are discharged from the army and reach their homes. The Review will receive the news with thanks. Send in the news about the soldier boys. J. C. Peterson Dies at Camp. Jens Christian Peterson, son. of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson, 3132 McHenry avenue, Westwood, O., died November 25 at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., of pneumonia. He was 25 years of age. When the y»ung man became seriously ill his father was notified and left at once for Waco. Private Peterson was a member of Company H, 35th Infantry. Mr. Peterson, the father, is the senior member of the firm of J. A. Peterson & Sons and is widely known. He and Mrs. Peterson have the sympathy of the trade in their bereavement. Wenner Botkln Coming Home. When the members of the units of the American Expeditionary Forces in France who are to be returned home as fast as possible heard the good news, there were none more happy than the members of the 75th Coast Artillery. They celebrated the prospect of coming back to the United States in the usual American boy manner — with much music by the regimental band. Two members of this band are florists, Wenner A. Botkin, son of J. G. Botkin, of the East Lawn Gardens, Urbana, O., and Musi- cian Engler, formerly with the E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind. This information came in a letter just received by Mr. Botkin from his son. He tells of the joy when the armis- tice was signed of the people of central France, where his regiment was sta- tioned, and of the enthusiasm of the American soldiers at the prospect of re- turning home. Previous to March 14, last, when he joined the coast artillery, Musician Botkin was foreman of his father's greenhouse range at Urbana. While in training at Fort Moultrie, S. C, his superiors learned that he is a talented tenor saxophone player and he was advanced to musician. In France Wenner A.. Botkin he discovered that Bandsman Engler also was a florist. Both young men, the letter to Mr. Botkin says, are having an opportunity to study French landscaping and he ex- pects that they will bring back some good ideas along this line. Bushyager Boys in Service. Two sons of E. Bushyager, proprietor of the Sunnyside Greenhouses, Jean- nette. Pa., are in the service of their country, but were too late to get into the fighting in France. Lee R. Bushya- ger enlisted last January as .a pilot in the U. S. Aviation Corps. He was sent to Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., April 27, and later was transferred to a flying field near Dallas, Tex., where he remained some time. He now is at a camp in Arkansas, where he will finish his training if the government contin- ues the school. Glen R. Bushyager en- listed in the S. A. T. C. and is at Alle- gheny, Pa. Roy O. Bushyager entered the army last spring, but was rejected for physical reasons after spending seven days in camp. A fourth son was exempted so he could remain at home and help his father, who grows vegeta- ble plants, as well as flowers. Bochester Florist Woimded. Advices received from friends in Rochester are to the effect that Cor- poral Lester G. Brown, formerly of the H. E. Wilson forces, of that city, is in a hospital near the Alps close to the border of Switzerland, recovering from wounds and a gas attack. Corporal Brown had suffered from shrapnel wounds as well as from a bullet wound in his heel, and lost his voice as the result of gassing. He writes, however, that his voice is being restored. He has been in the hospital from which he wrote two months. Rochester friends are hoping for his early recovery and safe return. Hartung Hunting Huns. Among the numerous florists who are in France on missions connected with making the world safe for democracy is Norbert E. Hartung, of Two Rivers, Wis. He is with an engineer regiment and has had a busy year. He is the eldest srfn of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Har- tung, who have been in the florists ' busi- ness at Two Rivers for forty years. He was his father's chief assistant before he entered the army. The greenhouses are closed this season, but will be re- opened when the young man comes back. Colligan in France. William E. Colligan, formerly con- nected with the cut flower department of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, under 0. W. Frese, was at La Valbonnais, France, when the war closed, training for a commission, one of 7,000 in the camp. He entered the service as a private in a regiment which trained at Camp Lee and was among the first to sail. The regiment made six trips to the front and Colligan rose to be top sergeant, after which he was selected as a candidate for a commission and sent to southern France, to an officers' school. Three Sons Coming Home. Now that the war is over and the men in the training camps in this country are being demobilized, the three sons of S. W. Pitkin, St. Charles, 111., will soon return to their home. Ernest C. Pitkin, aged 29 years, is in training at a camp near San Antonio, Tex,; Elbert, aged 25 years, is attending the radio school at the Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, Minn., and Charles, aged 21, is at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, 111. The two older boys were associated with their father at his establishment in St. Charles, while the youngest son was with Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago. Sergeant Billy Clark. One of the characteristics of the Yankee troops noted by the seasoned veterans of the allied armies was that they went ahead faster than they were ordered to move and did not seem to know when to stop fighting. The "un- trained" men of the American brigades had a different method from that of the machine-like action of the divisions they came to aid. And it was Yankee pep that did the job. Another peculiarity of the Americans was that the higher officers often led their men in person, contrary to the rules of warfare, many of them sacrific- ing their lives in their eagerness for the fray. But when an officer fell there was always a "noncom" who could take command and lead his com- pany with valor and dash to victory. Of such was Sergeant "Billy" Clark, formerly employed by the Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los Angeles, Cal., and be- fore that with another florist firm of the same city. "On the fifth day of the battle," writes a correspondent from the front to a Los Angeles newspaper, describ- 16 The Florists^ Review Dkcembbb 6, 1018. ing one of the last engagements of the •war, "Company A of the 364th Infantry found itself without a leader. All the commissioned officers down to the last second lieutenant had been put hors de combat. The company, a sort of derelict in the fog of battle, floundered along, fighting a kind of guerrilla warfare and gradually losing its identity and cohe- sion, when a red head appeared through the smoke, followed by a sharp word of command, or rather an invitation to 'go get 'em.' "The men pulled themselves together and, under the leadership of Sergeant Billy S. Clark, made one of the most brilliant charges of the drive. This continued for three days and during that period no company made a better show- ing or displayed more relentless aggres- siveness. ' ' When complimented on his achieve- ment. Sergeant Clark was brief and laconic in his response, regarding his action merely as the performance of a duty. "I reckon that's what Uncle Sam pays us for, ' ' was his sole comment. as sacred as the postofGLces and banks, and have complete control over them, not trusting, in the case of the express companies, for instance, the more or less secret owners to battle out their claims with our soldiers, should it un- fortunately come to that. It is hard indeed for the public to en- thuse over these utilities going back, and harder still for the employees, and if the former owners were wiser, it would be hardest of all for them. Somewhat apart from this, shippers wjio have long-standing claims against the express companies can have settle- ments greatly facilitated- by turning them over to the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington.

When we receive cut flowers from the wholesaler the boxes always are charged for, usually at from 60 cents to 85 cents each, but does any retailer make a charge when he in turn makes shipments? One day last week we shipped to one customer at one time thirteen boxes and we made no charge for the boxes. They contained sprays and designs. We shall appreciate any ideas expressed on this sub- ject. Perhaps my experience, as proprietor of the Port Allegany Greenhouses, Port Allejjany, Pa., may be helpful to J. U. M. The excessive greenhouse ex- penses of the last year caused me to charge for large boxes and to give credit for their return, grading my charges ac- cording to the prices paid by me to the wholesalers and commission men for the same boxes. After signing the conser- vation pledge of the i)aper houses, I ordered the printing of some labels, which were inscribed with the follow- ing notice to patrons: RETTUN liOX. Wishing to do our "hit." we signed the pledge "to coopcrato witli tlio ("onscrvation Division and the Pulp and I'lipiT .Section of the War Industries Board to ecunoniize in tlie use of paper, paper- board [l)oxps| and to secure and procure others, so f.ir iis lies within our power, to do the same, or foVfoit tlm right of piircliase." To comply, we ask t\int each l)ox be returned to us by and deduct cents from bill. — I'ort .Mlcg.in.v Grccnlioiisps. It will be observed that blank spaces were left on tlie labels for tlie insertion of the name of the return route and the amount to be deducted. These labels were pasted on all except the smallest boxes, with most gratifying results. Sales, evidently, were not decreased thereby, as the receipts for the last four months have been more than double the receipts for any similar period during the eighteen years of my experience as a florist. The quick re- turn of needed boxes, since the long- distance express service has been so slow, has been of great value to me. I would suggest that others give the plan a trial. M. E. G. Ventres. GOVEBNMENT OWNEBSHIP. While you may be right in your ed- itorial statement that the government should quickly return the public utilities taken over, you will find many who, for different reasons, disagree with you. Some few reasons why these utilities should be held, for the present at least, are: Because in many places the service is far better and the employees more courteous, there being someone to make complaint to. Because the employees of these com- panies, long misused, speaking of ex- press companies, have received or are about to receive better pay and treat- ment. Because the stockholders of these com- panies will be honestly protected and the companies will not again be ex- ploited and wrecked repeatedly in the stock markets. Observe how few the scandals, how efficient and cheap the postal service is, as compared with any of these companies. Because in the near future we may go through a period of unrest and will, in that case, want these utilities kept CAN YOU TELL HTM? We are having trouble with our cycla- mens. Can some brother florist tell us what is the cause and give us a remedy for the curling of the leaves and the drying up of the buds? The same dis- ease attacks our Eex and Cincinnati be- gonias and pentstemon, lobelia and other plants that are near the diseased plants. Any information will be great- ly appreciated. Frank M. Warner, La Fayette, Ind. — The greenhouses of William H. Eobinson were sold at auc- tion to Wilbur Lahr. The sale included a 10-acre farm, the greenhouses and the retail store and amounted to between $9,000 and $10,000. Mr. Lahr will con- . tinue the business. Peoria, HI. — Fred Burre has taken over the interest of his brother in the firm of Burre Bros. He has the green- house establishment formerly conducted by D, U. Augspurger & Sons Co., which went into bankruptcy a year ago. Mr. Burre is growing plants for the whole- sale trade. THE CABNATION SOCIETY. The American Carnation Society directors met with the Cleveland Flo- rists' Club December 2 to complete the program and make final arrangements for the A. C. S. convention in Cleveland January 29 and 30, 1919. Conditions all round being so unusual, it was con- sidered best, and decided, to make a de- parture from the usual program. Ex- press service being so undependable, it was not considered advisable to attempt an exhibition along the lines followed in previous years, and the secretary was instructed to rearrange the schedule to meet the prevailing conditions. All the medals will be offered and a special effort will be made to induce the growers of new varieties to exhibit them. There will be a number of classes for standard varieties for those who grow only those varieties. It was pointed out that if each member who will attend will bring along with him enough blooms for one vase, it will result in the largest exhibi- tion we have ever staged. Many of those within short distance will bring along 200 to 300 blooms, which will bring up the average. It was also pointed out that the high prices which will likely prevail all win- ter will also deter the larger growers from staging in quantity as formerly, hut almost every grower of carnations will gladly contribute fifty to 100 blooms to help make up the show. The secre- tary will get the premium schedule out at once and will mail it to the members. This being the first meeting of na- tional scope within the trade since the signing of the armistice, it was decided to make it a celebration of that event, and the program of entertainment will be arranged along that line. Invitations will be sent to other organizations to participate, and it is hoped that a large attendance will result. There is much enthusiasm in the Cleveland Florists' Club over the pros- pects of a rousing convention, and the local end of the arrangements will be well taken care of by a committee made up of some half dozen of Cleveland's celebrated live wires.

I would like to know what the disease is which is affect- ing them, the cause and the remedy for it. I never have seen anything of the kind before, but this fall all varieties of mums in my house are affected by it. E. S.— Mich. The mums submitted are badly in- fested with midge, which has been re- ported this season from practically all sections of the country. The origin of this midge is in doubt; no one seems to know where it came from. Some growers seem to think it was imported, but I never heard of its being on mums in any other country, so I doubt if it was brought into this country on stock. There is just one way of getting rid of this midge, and that is by fumigating with tobacco dust. In most cases this will clean the stock, providing the tobacco dust used is of sufficient strength. It kills the pest as it hatches out every day. The specimens submitted were badly infested and I question if you would be able to cut any flowers from such plants. I doubt if it would pay to keep the stock. I would simply place it on the rubbish heap. C. H. T. CHBYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. Work of the Committees. The examining committees of the C. S.

If you will tell us how to get rid of them we shall be grateful. Half of our mums are spoiled by this pest, in both early and late varieties. F. H. — Que. flowers. If they are not caught at that time it means a great deal of work to keep the flowers clean. In the last three or four years we have not heard much about this pest and were under the irhpression it was not so much in evi- dence as formerly. It is practically immune to tobacco dust and it is im- possible to smoke the house when the flowers are fully open without injuring the blooms. Nothing is better than hand-picking early in the morning. C. H. T. This pest is much more troublesome some seasons than others. It seems to like white varieties of flowers better than any other color and on white flow- ers its ravages are serious. There is little that can be done after the buds are showing color, but previous to that time a spray of dilute solution of Paris green will kill many of these insects. We have found, however, that the only efficacious method is to watch the buds closely early in the morning, just before they open, when the bugs will be found apparently waiting for the petals to show color so they can commence their work. Thousands of bugs can be killed at this stage of the development of the FORCING SHASTA DAISIES. Kindly advise me what is the proper method of forcing Shasta daisies. Is it profitable to have them in the green- houses? K. P. & T. F.— Pa. Shasta daisies are not of much value for forcing. Marguerites are much more satisfactory and can be depended upon to give flowers through the winter. If you want to give the Shastas a trial, leave them outdoors until they have had one or two hard freezings. Then plant them in a bench in a cold green- house. A violet temperature is suffi- ciently high. Let them come along nat- urally in this temperature. Any at- tempt to force in strong heat will re- sult in failure. C. W. PEST ON MUMS. I am enclosing two small bugs which we call "aster bugs," although they OUB SOLDIER FLORISTS. The many hundreds of Ohio florists now with the Expeditionary Forces in France, or in the various cantonments, soon will be returning to their former places in the trade, solving the trained labor shortage of the last year and en- abling overworked proprietors to get a little rest. Undoubtedly they will come back better men in consequence of their military training and expanded knowl- edge of life in general. This infusion of new vim and efficiency into the chan- nels of the trade cannot fail to redound to its ultimate benefit. Fortunately, but few of the boys were incapacitated; and as they fought for us who could not go, let us see that they are given the con- sideration upon their return to which their sacrifices justly entitle them. Mac. NO SEX IN BUSINESS. That modern business permits no sex distinctions is well illustrated by the presence of so many successful women florists in the Sixth City and its en- virons. As a general thing, women em- • bark in the business because they love to work with flowers, which, perhaps, is the secret of their signal success. In- dulgence in this line of thought brings to mind perforce the names of such high types of business women as Miss Hester A. Getz, Mrs. G. W. Mercer, Mrs. Chris- tine Cares, Mrs. L. C. Chott, Mrs. A Nosek, Mrs. Frank Rigo, Mrs. P. J Bauer and Miss Emily Dunn, of Cleve land; Mrs. J. B. Freeman, of Toledo, O. Mrs. Helen M. Schluraff, of Erie, Pa. Mrs. Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield O.; Mrs. J. G. Crites, of Uhrichsville, O. Mrs. Henry Matern, of Sandusky, O. B. S. Fearn, of Elyria, O., all of whom preside over nicely appointed places of business and are a decided credit to their chosen profession. In the past little has been heard in organized trade councils from women members, but doubtless in the future their influence will be feltj and now, with the dawn of a new busi- ness era, perhaps the time is opportune. Mac. COST AND PRICES. Close contact with the florists of northern Ohio discloses an increasing tendency to consider the actual cost of production in its proper relationship to selling prices. It is a well known fact that florists have been indifferent to this absolute business necessity, and it is one of the most salutary signs of the times that they have begun to recognize it as the vital factor in their success or failure. In the past there has been too much selling of flowers at a figure twenty-five per cent less than cost. Man}' florists regarded as successful have done this, other things, such as rises in property values, serving to keep them financially intact. Their output being extremely perishable, the law of supply and demand operated powerfully upon it, but perhaps sufficient attention was not given to the matter of supply. Bulbous stock might be cited in illustra- tion of this point. At the prevailing prices of narcissi, daffodils and tulips, there should be no flowers from these bulbs at $10 or $15 per thousand this win- ter. Instead of forcing enough stock to flood the market, the better plan would be to grow sufficient stock to supply it at a legitimate price, devoting the dif- ference in time and money to the pro- duction of other things that the market would absorb readily at profitable fig- ures. At times, in the small towns, a 18 The Florists^ Review Dbcbmbbb 5, 1918. mean type of competition exists, one flo- rist trying to gain business by under- selling his fellow-tradesmen, the result being the lowering of prices to a level where distinct loss, instead of profit, be- comes the rule. Early failure, however, soon puts an end to this class of business man. Much might be accomplished by a generous cooperation on the part of competitors in the wholesome direction of keeping prices right, but the best plan is for each to sell his goods at a figure covering production and allowing a living margin of profit. Mac. SEASONABLE ^ i^^ SUGGESTIONS How are the young plants progressing which are to flower a year hence? They must i;pt be neglected. You probably still have them in flats on shelves close to the glass. This is the best possible place for them. Stir the soil occasion- ally. Before they become too crowded transfer them to 3-inch pots. Be sure to use plenty of flaky leaf -mold at this potting. Both cyclamens and begonias root apace in this kind of leaf-mold, which must not be too much decayed and should feel spongy to the touch. ADIANTUMS. The bulk of adiantums commonly grown for the florists' trade are grown in pots, but no matter whether in pots or planted out, the plants are benefited by a short rest at this season. Part of the ferns can be rested at a time, so that a new crop of fronds will be ob- tainable before all the old fronds have been picked. The plants should be kept dry at the roots for two or three weeks. Laying them on their sides will prevent their getting water they do not need. After a rest any necessary repotting can be done and the plants placed in a warm, moist heat. For compost there is nothing better than fibrous loam, with some sand and a little old and dry cow manure. If the loam is heavy, some leaf-mold may be added to good advantage. These remarks apply to such adiantums as Croweanum and cuneatum, which are more largely grown than any others for cutting. PROTECTION IN COLD HOUSES. The coal situation is much brighter than a month ago and there will be more glass operated than seemed prob- able a short time ago. The better mar- ket prices arc proving a distinct help to the grower and those who have had the courage to plant their full areas are being envied by some of their neighbors who closed down all, or nearly all, their glass. It is possible to carry over some plants in unheated houses and these in- clude pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots, violets, polyanthus and stock plants of chrysanthemums, but all should now have a liberal mulching of dry leaves to prevent freezing and thawing of the soil. Beds or benches planted with hardy perennials for spring flowering can be similarly protected. There is sure to be more or less damage in the form of broken glass, heaving of piers, etc., in unheated houses, as compared with such as are operated. Such at least has been the experience of those who closed down houses during the severe winter of 1917-18 and this will be repeated, I am afraid, in an increased number of cases the coming winter. CYCLAMENS. Owing to the scarcity of azaleas, cyclamens will be in greater demand than ever for the coming holidays and already specialists in their culture re- port that they are almost sold out. No matter how handsome foliage you have on your plants, they will not sell unless one or two flowers are open and, although sales may be made until spring, you doubtless are anxious to sell out all you can to make room for other crops for Easter trade. It will not pay to force the plants hard. That will draw up the foliage and the flowers will flop over. Customers will fight shy of such plants. Keep the plants fairly warm; 55 degrees at night is ample. Eemove all shade and give them some ventila- tion when the temperature goes over 65 degrees. Elevate some of the larger plants on inverted pots. This will give more space for the other plants. You cannot afford to have cyclamens crowded, as you will never get shapely plants under such conditions. CHRISTMAS FBEESIAS. It has been a favorable fall for early freesias, with higher temperatures and clearer skies than usual, and some of the earliest plants already have flowers nearly open. There will be little in the way of bulbous flowers the coming Christmas outside of a few Paper Whites and Eoman hyacinths. There will be few Dutch bulbs in flower, ow- ing to late arrivals of bulbs, and, with a marked scarcity of valley, there should be a fine call for freesias and satisfactory prices for them. Keep the early freesias well up to the glass in a sunny house with a night temperature of 55 degrees and be sure they have an adequate supply of water. ^IvSAit^l^WS^MWUSiJWyiii^tiSyWSi^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS a?ivii7svir?i^irs>(irrsvt/svir)«vir7Sv<:ysvirrs?^ SPRING PLANTS IN THE SOUTH. The first part of December is the best time to sow the main batch of seeds of spring plants, with the possible ex- ception of sweet alyssum, which need not be started till the end of January. The seeds are better sown in flats, so they can be moved when desired. There are three pests that must be guarded against — mice, birds and the small Mexican ant. The former two are death to the larger seeds, such as ver- benas, etc., while the ants are equally destructive on the fine seeds, such as primulas, petunias, etc. Glass placed closely over the flats will protect against the mice and birds. Set the flats on inverted pots placed in saucers of water to keep the ants out. Keep the saucers full of water all the time, not even al- lowing a film of dust to gather on top, else the little pests will get in and ruin everything in a short time. As soon as germination has well started there is no more danger. The soil used should be light, finely screened and moderately enriched. Press down smoothly, water well before sowing, and cover the larger seeds lightly. The fine seeds must not be covered with soil, but may be pressed down with a piece of board. To prevent these fine seeds from washing, cover with a piece of cheesecloth just big enough to fit the flat and water through that until the seeds are germinated, when it can be removed. For Primula obconica use about a quarter of an inch of pure leaf -mold, screened fine, as a sur- face bed for the seeds. To get the best possible percentage of germination, place all seed flats in a rather warm temperature, say 50 to 60 degrees at night. Vinca rosea and alba may be 5 degrees higher. Let them remain there until they haye been pricked or potted off and established, when they can be removed to rather cooler quar- ters. L. CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH. In growing carnations in this section it is the early propagator who gets not only the early but all of the worms. To have good-sized plants for planting in the houses by the end of June or be- ginning of July, the cuttings should be in the sand as early as possible. The process of rooting the cuttings is pretty generally well known, but too often many of what you may call the sanitary conditions are neglected. The propagat- ing table should be washed and thoroughly whitewashed, and have a layer of from one to two inches of rough ashes as drainage before being filled with sand. The sand should be as sharp and clean as possible and free from all foreign matter, so that the water will pass through it freely. Care- fully remove all trash from underneath the tables and sprinkle air-slaked lime occasionally. The temperature of the house should be the same as that in which the plants are grown, say 50 de- grees at night, with a slight rise during the day. Do not crowd the cuttings too much and give plenty of ventilation. Shade during the hot part of the day and until the sun gets off the bench. The cuttings will need water at least every bright day if the sand is as porous as it should be. Bottom heat is not specially required. In twenty-five to thirty days from the time of insertion the cuttings should be rooted enough to pot off. L. Decbmbeb 5, 1918.

The "flu" and the war, with their dreadful vicissitudes and hardships, are things of the past, we are thankful to say. Although the former kept the re- tailers more than busy, gladness over its eradication reigns throughout the trade. From the beginning of November, with All Saints' day, to its close, including Thanksgiving day, every home-grown flower was used, besides big shipments from Chicago and other cities. The usual social functions of the winter months are beginning to be in evidence and, although there will be no official carnival season, with accompanying balls and parties, it is an assured pros- pect that the social season this year will demand the services of the floral artists to a far greater extent than last year. With Christmas only three weeks away, the growers are getting their stock in shape. Although last month's weather conditions were inauspicious for the flo- rists, the general line of holiday stock is as fine as ever and not a single plant of poinsettias, palms or ferns needs to be bought out of town. Many of our private gardens are now shining in their new dress of rye grass, but, owing to the high cost of the seeds, the use of this grass is not so general as usual. Up to now we have had no killing frost. Coleus, croton and chrysanthemum beds, although the worse for continual heavy rains during November, are still seen. The general planting of pansies and the usual line of spring flowers will not take place until the middle of December. The first outdoor-grown sweet peas are in the market. It is hoped that the great quan- tities grown here will be cut before the heavy frosts kill them, as happened last year. E. E. KNOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. The demand continues greater than the supply. Chrysanthemums are gone. Mistletoe carnations are coming in, but there are not nearly enough to go around. Eoses are off crop,. A few Eas- ter lilies are seen. Sweet peas and vio- lets are in limited supply. Prices are as follows: Chrysanthemums, $5 to •$7.50 per dozen; roses, $1.50 to $6 per Jozen; carnations, $2 per dozen; violets, ^^ingle, $2 per hundred; %weet peas, $3 I'er hundred; Easter lilies, $5 per dozen; orchids, $1.50 to $2 each. Cyclamens, peppers and Christmas cherries have !nade their appearance and are selling readily, cyclamens from $1.50 to $10, peppers and cherries from $1 to $3 each. A number of Christmas orders have ^)een received and the prospects are for the heaviest Christmas trade on record, with less stock than ever. Immprtelle Wreaths and all stock of this character sell well and all the florists hope to ■lave them cleaned up before the cut- flower rush begins. Stock of all kinds cleaned up well for Thanksgiving and brought top prices. Weather conditions have been bad for the last two weeks, dark and cloudy with rain. We have had practically no cold weather at all, only a few frosts, with ice. But this conserves fuel. The coal ban, however, has been lifted and florists can buy all they want; in fact, the coal men are endeavoring to sell coal. The florists who usually store quanti- ties of galax, ferns, etc., will not be able to do so this year, as there are no available storage houses here this year. They closed on account of the coal and ammonia shortage, and will not open until next spring. Various Notes. A. H. Dailey is showing some choice sweet peas, roses and cyclamens. A. J. McNutt is preparing for Christ- mas with some choice immortelle wreaths. He is showing the finest Christmas peppers on this market, also choice roses. The force at Baum's Home of Flowers has been busy, with stock unusually scarce. They have been cutting choice carnations, but not nearly enough to go around, and they had to turn down or- ders. This concern now has a full force on the job. One of its White trucks caught fire this week, causing an esti- mated damage of $200. The local S. A. T. C. has received orders to demobilize, which will release Eoy and Floyd Baum, who will resume their work at the greenhouses. K. P. B. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. It has been a long time since we have been able to find time to report for Nashville. But this has not been, by any means, because there was nothing to report. The facts are that the last summer has been a record-breaker for the florists of Nashville. The only trouble the florists have had here has been to find sufficient stock. There has been hardly a day this summer or fall that there have been enough good flow- ers to meet the demand. Had it not been that some of the growers planted outdoor stock, it is hard to say what the florists would have done. The season was so hot and dry that there were few outdoor flowers of any kind after the middle of the summer. Asters were a failure and roses from the open were almost as bad. Dahlias have been a large item in the fall here for some years, but this fall they were scarce. They sold well, of course, and were a great help, but we longed for the loads of them that often have been thrown on the dump in other years. Carnations were late in arriving this year, but have been plentiful for weeks now. The quality is excellent. There are few novelties here this year, as the latest introductions have not proven all that could be desired. Eoses are plentiful now. It is noted that American Beauties are occupying less space than ever before and that the days of Sunburst and Ward also are numbered. Eussell holds its popularity. Ophelia, Kaiserin and White Killarney also hold their own. But Columbia is the sensation of the season. It is snapped up as fast as it appears and easily commands the highest price of all pink roses. In fact, a goodly pro- portion of the blooms have sold for $5 per dozen at retail. Our growers went in pretty heavily on this rose, but every one of them says it was a good invest- ment, and we predict that Columbia will have more bench space next year than any other rose, unless it shows some un- expected weakness between now and propagating time. Various Notes. The yellow sport of Ophelia grown by Geny Bros, still is making good, and so far shows up better than any yellow sport of this rose we have seen. Another year they will be able to grow it in suf- ficient quantity to prove its worth. Speaking of novelties, Nashville has more than its share of promising new things at present. In carnations, the white sport of Mclntyre Bros, continues to be the best white we have, and the most fragrant of carnations. A sport of White Enchantress, it has all of the good qualities of its parent, with in- creased productiveness and general quality. Mr. Smith, carnation grower for the Joys, has been crossing carnations and growing seedlings for some time, and has three or four that have been propagated in sufficient quantities to test with the older varieties. One of his yellows is probably the best of its color, but being a color that will never be popular, we pass it. He has a red that looks like a winner, but the cream of his collection is a pink, larger than any good com- mercial pink we know, well doubled, fragrant, and fringed on the outer petals. Charles Trichler has a sport of Coleus Trailing Queen which shows some of the characteristics of the original Trailing Queen, but is better in every way, es- pecially in that it does not fade in the winter or in the shade. But his pride is a fern which he has named Victory, a sport of Veronia. It is fully as strong a grower as the old Boston, with fronds that seem to stand any amount of han- dling or wind. Also the fronds are ruf- fled and frilled better than those of its parent. In fact, we have never seen so pretty a fern as a specimen of Victory that Mr. Trichler exhibited at the state fair this fall. Thanksgiving trade was as heavy as could be. By this we mean that every- one sold everything he had to sell. Prices, of course, were better than usual, and we are told that an unusually large proportion of the sales were cash. Mums have been fine this fall, especially Mr. Trichler 's pot plants, and they were cleaned up closely for Thanksgiv- ing. Bulbs are selling slowly thus far this season. Everyone has a full supply of bulbs of all kinds and an oversupply of Paper Whites. It happened in this way: 20 The Florists^ Review Dbcbmber 5, 1918. Most of the Paper Whites had been or- dered through Holland growers, and, of course no one expected that they wouli be able to make delivery. So as soon as any Paper Whites reached this coun- try, our growers ordered from every- body who seemed able to make delivery. All came and so we are well supplied. But if present demands keep up, no one will be a loser. Miss Carrie Chance, who has been running the Joy store in Chattanooga for some time, is at home again. Mr. Harrison and his sister, Miss Bess Har- rison, took charge of the store when it was opened, but Mr. Harrison became a soldier and Miss Bess married one, so Miss Chance had to take charge. Oscar Geny has been in pooj health much of the summer, but is able to look after the greenhouses again now. In fact, he is stronger now than for a long time. The weather is perfect here this fall and we still have little frost. Of course everything outdoors has been cut down, but the weather man is as- sisting in the conservation of coal to a remarkable degree. Farmers are still sowing small grain and the pastures are as green as in the spring. F. B. NEW YORK. The Market. As was expected, Thanksgiving busi- ness was good, the market cleaning up quickly in spite of heavy arrivals of stock. While there was quite sufficient stock to go around, the buying was spirited and of a kind not witnessed of late. Practically everything sold well and much more stock would have been taken had it been available. As early as November 26 active buying set in and top-notch prices were reached and maintained until the morning of Thanksgiving day, when arrivals of flowers naturally were light. Chrys- anthemums, of course, formed the bulk of the supply and were generally of good quality; but the tell-tale pink flushes on many of the Bonnaffons and some of the white varieties betokened hoarding to an extent, a condition which this year perhaps was excusable, as many of the late varieties had passed and the larger flowers were in especial demand. There was a wealth of pom- pons and singles, but good prices were obtainable and stock of all colors soon disappeared. American Beauty roses appeared to stick around the 75-cent mark for specials of ordinary grade, but all other varieties moved at prices considerably in advance of those quoted on the first day of the week. Violets advanced to $1 and some specials of fine quality at $1.50, and they cleaned out well at these prices. Carnations were in good demand, the best bringing 10 cents, chiefly for Mrs. C. W. Ward, but 8 cents was the average top price for good flowers. Some heavy shipments of cypripediums came in and the stock moved well for a time at $1.50 to $2 per dozen. The best cattleyas brought $1 each, but the supply was limited. Lilies moved well at 8 cents to 10 cents each. Quantities of Lilium auratum were in evidence and brought an average of $2 per dozen. Callas were in plenty, but seemed to drag. Stevia, smilax and asparagus sold well. This week will see the chrysanthemum crop at its end and then we shall bfe able to make progpostications regard- ing the Christmas 'supply of "^ flowers. While many expect that it will be light, owing to the cut in production due to fuel restrictions, it must be remembered that bench plantings of carnations and roses were completed much later this year than usual and the heavy cropping varieties of the former have not yet as- serted themselves, but undoubtedly will figure conspicuously in the Christmas trade. A good supply of rbses also is to be expected. With the Thanksgiving business out of the way, the market remains strong, with arrivals light; consequently there is no difficulty experienced in cleaning up. The supply of chrysanthemums is lighter and among the offerings are the late varieties, such as Jeanne Nonin and Seidewitz. Carnations are improving in quality, but the supply still is not great. Some short-stemmed stock is shipped in, re- minding one more of October pickings than a December cut. The best are quickly snapped up, but the rest drag, being used mainly for funeral work. Roses are in good supply and the quality is excellent. Ophelia seems to predominate, but there is a long list of varieties furnishing a liberal cutting. The cut of American Beauty is not heavy, although adequate to the de- mand. The supply of gardenias is still light and really fine flowers are scarce; most of them are sold before their arrival. Orchids are only in fair supply, with cattleyas decidedly short. TriansB is the only variety suitable for corsage work coming in and perfect flowers of good size bring 75 cents easily. Oneid- iums are plentiful, as also are dendro- biums of the Phalsenopsis variety; a few sprays of Phalsenopsis amabilis are seen, earlier than usual for them. Lilies and callas are arriving in quantity sufficient for the demand. Lily of the valley remains of poor quality. A few sweet peas are arriving, but do not attract much attention. Mignon- ette, snapdragon, bouvardia, calen- dulas and pansies are plentiful and Paper White narcissi are putting in an appearance. The weather is cool and buying gen- erally is heavier in consequence. As conditions are settling, the public de- mand for flowers is improving and the trade is hopeful that by New Year's business will bear a semblance of pre- war conditions. An Important Meeting. President C. H. Totty and Secretary John Young left for Atlantic City, N. J., December 2, where they were to meet Washington Eepresentative William F. Gude, and George Asmus, of Chicago, all members of the committee which Presi- dent Totty appointed to represent the S. A. F. at the convention of the United States Chamber of Commerce to take place December 4 at Atlantic City. Del- egates representing every line of indus- try will be in attendance at this meet- ing, the ob.iect of which is a discussion of the problems of readjustment of busi- ness generally. The problems are many, according to the call issued for the meeting, one of the most important be- ing the question: "Are we to have government paternalism in industry? Do we want government supervision, or shall we demand individual creativeness through legal and helpful combination? Remember Germany 's paternalism, which became autocratic, and the weak- ness of paternalism in France." Presi- dent Schenck, of the New York Florists' Club, appointed Frank H. Traendly and Charles H. Brown to represent the club at the convention and it is understood that C. Albert Small is to represent the New York Retail Florists' Association. A meeting of the secretaries of the va- rious organizations taking part in the convention is called for the afternoon of December 4 at the Traymore hotel. The convention will be held at Young's Pier. No Spring Show. A meeting of the flower show com- mittee was ^Id at the office of the sec- retary, 1170 Broadway, December 2. The question of holding a flower show next spring was fully discussed. It was ultimately decided that in view of the fact that no building is available for the staging of a show which in char- acter would compare with previous shows, and that prospective exhibitors in the competitive section would find it difficult, if not impossible, to produce material for exhibition within the lim- ited time between now and Easter, the 1919 show be postponed until the follow- ing year. Mr. HoUaman, of the Inter- national Exposition Co., assured the committee the Grand Central Palace would again be available at that time. It was practically agreed that the show in 1920 should open on a Monday and on dates which would permit closing two weeks before Easter, which occurs April 4. Various Notes. Retail florists are rejoicing that pas- senger service to Europe has been re- sumed and notices of sailings appear daily in the newspapers. It is hoped that it will not be long t»efore steamer business is again a strong feature of the New York florists' trade. Elmer D. Smith & Co., of Adrian, Mich., will exhibit some new varieties of late chrysanthemums at the meeting of the New York Florists' Club Decem- ber 9. As the election of officers wiU take place at this meeting, there should be a large attendance. According to an order issued by the U. S. Fuel Administration, effective De- cember 2, all restrictions regarding a fuel supply for florists are lifted. While, perhaps, at this late date such action will not benefit many, it should serve to eliminate the sometimes stupid inter- ference with the delivery of legitimate supplies by local administrators. Patrick Dunigan, more generally known as "Paddy," was found dead in bed December 2 at his home in Jersey City. He was for many years in the employ of M. C. Ford, wholesale florist at 121 West Twenty-eighth street, but for the last three months was employed by Joseph J. Levy, 56 West Twenty- sixth street. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was a visitor recently. Curt Thimm, the carnation and chrys- anthemum grower, of East Williston, L. L, had an unpleasant experience No- vember 27. Deciding to bring his flow- ers into market on his own car to in- sure early arrival, he started with a big load; but while on the main road east of Jamaica, the car turned turtle. For- tunately Mr. Thimm escaped injury, but a quantity of the flowers was badly dam- aged. However, assistance was ob- ^ » DECEMBEa 5, 1918. The Florists^ Review 21 tained. and the car was righted aa^ fowed into Twenty-eighth street. Max Sehling furnished, among other pieces, a beautiful pall of cattleyas and lily of the valley for the casket of Mrs. Gates, widow of the late financier, John W. Gates, who died last week. August Buckholtz, a grower of Wood- side, L. I., is around again after an at- tack of pneumonia which laid him up for several weeks. The annual dinner of the New York Wholesalers' Cut Flower Protective As- sociation will be held M the Hotel Bres- lin the evening ofTJecember 14. Many of the wholesalers are noticing with regret a disposition on the part of some of the commission men to break away from the Sunday closing agree- ment. If we are to believe that stock this winter will be decidedly on the short side, there should be little need for Sunday opening. The sympathy of many of their friends in the trade goes out to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, in the death of their son, Jens, last week at Camp MacArthur. Eoger Case, an orchid shipper, of Bar- ranquilla, Colombia, was in the city last week en route to his home. Besides his orchid interests, Mr. Case operates an oil mill, whose product is castor oil. The death is reported of Captain Jo- seph E. De Lamar, of Glen Cove, L. I., which occurred November 24. Captain De Lamar was greatly interested in hor- ticultural matters and was a liberal ex- hibitor at our flower shows. He will be sadly missed by our flower show enthu- siasts, who could depend upon him at all times for support in making their plans. The park department of the borough of Manhattan is arranging to plant an avenue of American elms on the mall promenade in Central park in memory of the soldiers and sailors who died in the war. Each one is to carry a bronze tablet bearing the names of heroes. This is akin to the sentiment of our slogan, "Say It with Flowers." It is reported here that the green- house property of S. J. Eeuter & Son, Inc., Westerly, E. I., recently sold by the receiver of the estate, has been ac- quired by Charles Munro, of New Ha- ven, Conn., who will operate the green- houses. J- H. P. OBITUARY Belvidere, 111. — Lyon & Anderson held •their annual flower show November 15 and 16, which was well attended. "Vis- itors were presented with flowers and a large part of the handsome stock dis- played was sold at good prices. This firm has plans prepared for enlarging both its store and range. El Paso, Tex.— H. H. Potter, who con- ducts both a flower and confectionery business, operating two stores, is among those who are pleased to see the end of hostilities. Not only did he suffer a loss of trade through the disposition to economize in the use of flowers, but dur- ing the summer his ice cream and con- fectionery business was cut almost in half by the Food Administration's edict limiting confectioners to half their nor- mal consumption of sugar. Mr. Potter did not complain, as he was anxious to do his part to help win th3 war, but he is none the less relieved that the restric- tions may be modified now that the war is won. Herman Kurth. Herman Kurth, for many years trav- eling salesman for the firm of Eeed & Keller, Inc., New York city, died No- vember 24, of pneumonia, at the age of 29 years, at his home at Union Hill, N. J. Mr. Kurth was well liked in the trade and among a large circle of friends, because of his kindly disposi- tion. Charles Mitter. Charles Mitter, formerly of New York, and more recently of Los Angeles, Cal., died November 27, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Mitter worked for several firms in the east and some years ago took charge of a large estate in Santa Susana. Later he was kentia grower for J. Dieterich, of Los Angeles, and he also looked after the collection of plants at Montebello. He was an efficient grower and a hard-working and conscientious man. His death was due to stomach trouble, which had been getting worse for several months. He was 55 years of age. H. E. Eichards. Mrs. Mary J. Thomas. Mrs. Mary J. Thomas, one of the old school florists of Baltimore, died last week. Mrs. Thomas was the daughter of Eobert J. Halliday, the pioneer flo- rist in Baltimore. For many years she conducted the most exclusive flower store on North Charles street. Twenty years ago she retired and had been living since at Eoland Park. Her fu- neral was largely attended by the older members of the trade and the floral offerings were among the handsomest seen at a funeral in Baltimore for many a year. Tate. Walter H. Aylward. Walter H. Aylward, son- of the late M. J. Aylward, of Woburn, Mass., died November 29, after a lingering illness, dropsy being the cause of death. The deceased was only 29 years of age and had been associated with his father and later his brother in the greenhouse es- tablishment at Woburn, where roses were a specialty. Mr. Aylward was a stockholder in the Boston Flower Ex- change and was well liked by all who knew him. Funeral services were held from his sister's home December 2 to St. Patrick 's church, interment being in St. Mary's cemetery. Maiden. There were many beautiful floral tributes, in- cluding a number from friends in the trade. W. N. C. WiCkliffe, O.— Nick Bowen has bought 'A. Walker's greenhouse. Waltham, Mass. — Louis J.

The Temperature for Spawning. I have had the best results in spawn- ing when the temperature of the beds was 85 to 90 degrees, but I have also spawned beds as soon as made and they have done splendidly. On the other hand, beds in which the heat failed to rise above 70 degrees have given heavy crops, but they are longer in starting to produce. Under favorable conditions I have had mushrooms appear in three weeks, but on one occasion, when I had practically despaired of a bed, it started to crop heavily after eighteen weeks. On the average, however, beds start to yield within six weeks and continue to bear for three or four months, much de- pending on how they are cared for. A person of too nervous a temperament should not grow this crop. Of late the imported English Mill- track spawn has done indifferently, prob- ably owing to its being so long in transit. This type of mushroom is pre- ferred on the markets. The Pure Cul- ture spawn of Lambert and one or two other specialists is good and always begins bearing ahead of the Milltrack variety. Planting the Spawn. The spawn is broken in pieces the size of a large English walnut and planted nine to twelve inches apart each way in the beds, about two inches deep. The manure is left loose over the spawn for about eight days, when the bed is well firmed and a coating of two inches of pasture loam is spread on the sur- face and well pounded. It is well to keep the beds as dark as possible and free from sunlight and draft. They must not be made near heating pipes; neither must they be located below benches through which much air passes, unless some precaution is taken to keep the currents of air from the beds. The beds need watering occasionally and warm water, of a temperature of 100 degrees, should be applied. Scat- ter some dry loam over any small mush- rooms before watering. Watering should always be considered a necessary evil, but I have found an occasional spraying with warm water beneficial. Mushrooms should never be cut, but carefully twisted around and the result- ant holes carefully filled. In market- ing them, boxes holding four pounds each find special favor, but baskets also are used. Many small growers will be able to dispose of their entire crop at retail or at hotels, which use large num- bers. There is no royal road to success with mushrooms, but cleanliness is of para- mount importance. Mushrooms are a nutritious food and in these times the demand for them is large. Given the ma- nure, suitable places for beds and a good market, many country florists might well attempt their culture. The Florists^ Review December 5, 1918. EstabllBhed, 1897. by O. L. ORANT.

Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. The Editor's Desk has been adorned with a vase of cornflowers cut in the open November 23 by Frank Winans, Petoskey, Mich. He says he has been cutting in quantity all through the autumn. Some idea of what the influenza did for, or to, the florists in cities adjacent to the army training camps is shown by the report from Louisville that during the height of the epidemic there were eighty- eight deaths in one night at Camp Taylor. The Christmas number of the Rotarian, widely known as the organ of the body from which it takes its name, carries a full-page advertisement by the Asso- ciated Rotary Florists, telling all Ro- tarians to "send flowers for Christmas." The advertisement explains how it may be done by telegraph. George F. Struck, East Orange, N. J., announces that he severed his connection, November 30, with the Heathcrhome Seed & Nursery Co., of which he was one of the organizers. Mr. Struck is widely known in the trade, first as a traveler and later as a member of the Knight & Struck Co. He will not be connected with the florists' business in the future. Collections in the trade were better in November than for many months, but it can not be said that the same was true of the trade's collections from the public; the increased speed with which money has circulated in the trade has been due to increased retail sales, particularly those for cash, rather than to improved collections for the smaller florists, most of whom still are without definite collec- tion systems. The average florist finds that in' the,. easy times of old he wasted enough to represent a pretty fair profit. The florist who takes no cognizance of accounts that have passed the due date sooner or later finds himself where he can not meet his own bills as due. The Editor's Desk has been decorated for several days with a fine vase of anemone-flowered and single chrysanthe- mums grown by Alois Frey, Crown Point, Ind. The Florists' HaiHAssociation is In admirable condition ; e^fery claim thus far presented this year has been paid and there is a balance of $5,000 for subse- quent losses, besides $45,000 in the re- serve fund. After nearly five years, the steamer business soon will come back to New York retailers in volume far greater than ever. It will give another tremendous impetus to the rapidly developing trans- fer order system represented by the F. T. D. and the Pink Section of this paper. The florists who have established repu- tations as prompt pay wUl profit by it now. With many lines of stock far short of the demand, the slow payer, the man who "flies off the handle" when asked to settle an overdue account and the one who seeks an excuse for a kick may ex- pect to see the men who pay on dot get first call on the merchandise. WHERE THE PIOKENa'S GOOD. There is a saying current with our boys in France that "the place to get doughnuts is where they're bein' passed." It is just another way of in- dicating that the number and variety of advertisements in The Review con- stitute an attraction for the buyers. Like this: We are sold out of cinerarias, thanks to The Review.-^B. E. Constlen, Upper Sandusky, C, December 2. 1918. Our 5-Inch cyclamens are sold up; again the little classified ad In The Review did the work. — Fred H. Lemon & Co., Richmond, Ind., Decem- ber 2, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. THANKSGIVINa BUSINESS. It is no news to say that Thanksgiving made a new record in the trade; that it would do so had been foreseen from Victory day. The report is unanimous that the fio- rists' business never profited by the ob- servance of Thanksgiving as it did this year. Every available flower was called into use. That the increase in sales was not greater was due solely to the fact that supplies of stock were inadequate to m'eet the demand. Individual in- creases in sales were in accordance with the individual 's supply of stock and his idea of what the public would stand in the way of prices. Flowers never fetched the prices they did this Thanks- giving. While it may be that some buy- ers were deterred by the prices, there were plenty who were willing to pay whatever was asked. While values gen- erally were close to what the trade has become accustomed to call Christmas prices, it seems generally to have been true that more flowers could have been sold at these prices or even somewhat higher prices. With the supply short and no price cutters in sight, flowers seem to be worth what one is pleased to ask for them. THe trade has special reasoa^^^r thanksgiving. While florists came through the war in better shape than most other lines of so-called luxury trades, there have been few lines that have been benefited more promptly or to a greater extent by the caving in of the Central Powers. NONESSENTIALS IN DEMAND. The weekly review of general busi- ness conditions by the Dun commercial agency shows that the florists' trade is not the only one of the so-called non- essential lines which has been stimu- lated by the ending of the war. Says Dun: Retail business in the last two weeks has been gaining momentum steadily until it is now as large as or larger than ever before was known, with prospects that these conditions will con- tinue through the holidays. Although It is rather early for the heaviest Christmas rush, shops are crowded. The change in the character of the buying is most noticeable and many lines, such as evening clothes and the more expensive grades of wearing apparel, knick-knacks, toys and others of recently much exploited "nonessentials" have come into their own with the removal of restric- tions, governmental and conscientious. The trade improvement seems to be general In the central states. The large mail order houses have done in November a business twenty-flve per cent or more in excess of that for the corre- sponding month last year. One of them reports an increase of 100 per cent in the sales of pianos. These gains are especially significant because the "nonessential" business of these establishments normally is rather small in proportion to the whole. Orders to wholesalers for immediate delivery are ahead of last year, but there is still noticeable a slight disposition to hold off on future commitments. Money is plentiful, with signs of approaching easiness for the first time in many months. Collections are uniformly good. It speaks for a big winter's business for all florists who are able to supply the demand. CHIOAOO The Market. Remembering that the Thanksgiving business in 1917 was unusually good, it still seems to be well within the facts to sum up the Thanksgiving business of 1918 as double that of last year. It is a record the like of which never has been known in the Chicago market. It really is a matter for more than passing remark that the largest houses in the market should have been able to double their Thanksgiving sales. They did. One house reports that for twelve consecutive business days its sales ap- proximated $5,000 per day in cut flowers and greens alone, over $100,000 in the month. These are figures which seem almost incredible to the older genera- tion of florists, but which show how wonderfully the Chicago market has grown and how important it is to those in the trade over a wide radius in the central part of the United States. The report of the Thanksgiving busi- ness of the Chicago market really is a record of the trade activities in the whole central part of America, for an enormous volume of shipping was done, reaching almost every town from Win- nipeg to the Rio Grande and the far southeast. The fact that prices were the highest ever known at Thanksgiving seemed to have no effect whatever on the demand from out of town. With the out-of-town florist it seemed not a question of price, but of the ability to secure flowers. The city buyers had a hard time of it. The majority of them "shop." They go from house to house and buy where they can get the best stock for the least money. Those who- place the bulk of their business regu- Decembeh 5, 1918.

The re- tailers do not complain of any lack of business for Thanksgiving, but many «omplain of their inability to secure stock and of the fact that the prices •were so high they could not make their usual margin of profit. There was a large supply of flowers in the market, but probably not more than in recent years, which shows the increase in sales to have resulted from the higher average prices; that and the cleaning up of practically all the odds and ends, stock that has no great value in a market that is well supplied. It might be said that there was a shortage all along the line. There was nothing of any consequence left un- sold; one or two houses had a little more stevia than they could place, and a few had some yellow pompons left, the latter being the most abundant flower. Chrysanthemums were not so plentiful as usual, the Thanksgiving varieties having been cut a fortnight early this year in many cases. Carna- tions were nowhere near equal to the demand and brought Christmas prices. The longest roses Were more nearly equal to the demanu than were the medium and shorter L-grades. Violets sold better than at any time this sea- son. Sweet peas do not yet cut much figure. White flowers, of course, were least in request, but there were ready buyers for everything, making the greatest Thanksgiving clean-up ever known in this market. At variance with the usual experience, there has been no let-down since the holiday rush. Shipping demand con- tinues to absorb all the stock coming to the market, especially roses and carna- tions, and prices are holding right up. It is apparent, not only that business is good all through the country, but that chrysanthemums are well cut out, just as they are here. The retailers complain they cannot even get all the good boxwood they need to make funeral wreaths and that galax is so short they have to hunt for it.

Just how good it was in individual experience seems to depend on what the individual had for sale, rather than on the general condition. Some of the wholesale houses report the increase was fully up to the October increase, while others did not make so good a percentage of gain as in the preceding month. Anyone who had stock had a splendid November business. The month started well, with the momentum of the big demand in October. In the height of the chrysan- themum season there was some weaken- ing in prices, but no decrease in the daily aggregate of sales, and as Thanks- giving approached the market stiffened after a fashion never before known in this center. The Thanksgiving prices were those ordinarily charged at Christ- mas and that the values were logical is shown by the fact that there was noth- ing left unsold and that prices have Decbmbbr 5, 1918.

It is reported that Ernest Eriksson, who has been grower for A. H. Schnei- der at Oak Park, has leased the Martin Radtke place in Maywood and will start in business for himself as a plantsman. Peter Reinberg once more has demon- strated that he puts the public interest ahead of personal gain. As president of the board of county commissioners Mr. Reinberg vetoed the action of that 26 The Florists^ Review December 5, 1918. body^q»r«ising the salaries of itgrmem- bers. His action was taken in spite of the fact that tlie board also raised the president's salary from $7,000 to $9,000 per year. When it came to the test, only one other member stood with the president and the increases were car- ried in spite of the president's state- ment that the county needed the money for much more urgent other uses. J. T. Caulfield has sublet to a drug- gist the store at 811 East Sixty-third street, previously occupied by the Wood- lawn Floral Shop. S. Y. Bloom, whose flower store is in the next block east, says he has not lost any sleep over the news. D. D. P. Koy arranged last week to enter the employ of the American Bulb Co. Anthony Batels now has the green- houses at Shermerville previously op- erated by F. F. Scheel. They are planted principally to carnations, the chrysanthemums having been cut. The stock is being sold by A. T. Pyfer & Co. Mr. Batels is not a florist, but is an extensive landowner in the vicinity, a horticultural enthusiast and said to be of the belief that he knows how to run a commercial greenhouse establish- ment. Winterson's Seed Store last week ar- ranged for a considerable shipment of bulbs by express from New York to en- able it to finish filling fall orders. J. C. Nielsen, southern representative for Poehlmann Bros. Co., has opened permanent headquarters for his firm at Birmingham, Ala., where a line of sup- plies will be shown and a small stock for emergency uses carried. Mr. Niel- sen will make his residence in Birming- ham and travel through the south. George C. Weiland is elated over the record-breaking Thanksgiving business he did at his Evanston store. The finish- ing touch of happiness was added De- cember 1, when he was presented with a new baby boy. Mr. Weiland now has five sons and a daughter. Phil Schupp says J. A. Budlong has experienced thus far an unusually good season with Double White Killarney, choice stock having brought as high as 20 to 25 cents, a price never before ob- tainable for this rose. N. J. Wietor, who brought out the new pompon. Liberty Loan, reports that it was a big success and an extremely good seller. O. J. Friedman says he had an un- usually good trade Thanksgiving day, in spite of the bad weather. This was due to the location of Mr. Friedman's store, which has two entrances, one be- ing on the famous Peacock alley of the Congress hotel; the people frequenting this place are good corsage buyers. Mr. Friedman received a large number of good orders for the funeral of one of the owners of the Congress hotel. Miss L. A. Tonner has returned from Baconton, Ga., where she has been look- ing after her own as well as her family's interests in pecan groves. After having several weeks' rest, John Mangel's beautifully colored ducks are .back on exhibition again in his Palnier House window.

Koses, too, were held at unusually high prices. There was a good supply of Easter lilies at $2 per dozen. Violets, sweet peas, valley and orchids were not abundant and brought high prices. A good supply of stevias and calendulas was in the market. Greens also advanced in price, the supply not being plentiful. Thanksgiviiig Business.

The only draw- back from the retailers' standpoint was the high prices. But the demand prin- cipally was for mums and blooming plants and both of these were in ade- quate supply. In the west end F. C. Weber, Otto Sander, Joseph Witek, F. H. Weber and John Boerm had all they could do, and Miss M. Newman, George Waldbart and the Ayres Floral Co. reported the usual heavy rush of business for the day. In the north end the Mullanphy Flo- rists, Bentzen Floral Co., Pieper Floral Co. and Tower's say they were swamped with business, as much funeral work was coupled with the Thanksgiving call. The downtown florists, of course, did the largest "business, and all the stores were crowded the days before Thanks- giving, while the call on the holiday was excellent. Martin Sceger, of the Mul- lanphy Florists, and Vincent Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, both say the demand was much larger than in previous years, with prices about double the normal. 30 The Florists^ Review Dbcbmbbb 5, 1918. rtM#« Order your BEAUTIES from us We have them in quantity THE LEO HIESSEN CO.

Various Notes. A joint meeting of committees from the Florists' Club, the Retail Florists' Association, the County Growers' Asso- ciation and the Wholesalers' Associa- tion was held November 26 at the head- quarters. L. Jules Bourdet was chair- man and J. J. Beneke secretary. The meeting was held to make arrangements for a victory meeting and banquet and after considerable discussion it was de- cided to appoint a committee of five to have charge of the affair, which will be held December 10. The committee is as follows: A. H. Hummert, H, G. Berning, J. J. Windier, W. A. Rowe and A. Lurie. The committees appropriated $400 to defray the expenses. The meet- ing and banquet are for every florist in St. Louis and vicinity and invitations will be mailed. The banquet will be held at one of the leading hotels. There will be no charge to those receiving in- vitations. Hugo Werner, of Werner Bros., Clay- ton, reports a visit from the stork, which left a boy last week. W. A. Rowe, Phil. Goebel and the Meier brothers were some of the fortu- nate ones who had heavy cuts of chrys- anthemums for Thanksgiving. Charles C. Young, president of C.

Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. 1517 Sansom Street, Philadelphia We dose at 5 p. m. there was more business just before Thanksgiving than there has been since. While there will, of course, be some late chrysanthemums for the winter, they were closely sold, the wholesalers get- ting everything in that was fit and sell- ing all they got. There is nothing ready to fill the gap. Carnations are only in moderate crop, while roses are not ex- pected to come in plentifully until to- ward Christmas. Violets have fallen off in numbers, while the miscellaneous flowers, usually so important at this time, are arriving in small numbers. Under these conditions, prices have advanced. As they advance it is no- ticed that the lower grades are preferred to the upper and the lower-priced va- rieties are preferred to the higher- priced. For example, roses with short stems sell much better at high figures than do fancy roses, while both Beau- ties and orchids are in oversupply. December 5, 1918.

Mention The Review when yon wr1t». Pompons are holding out with some growers. There is little bouvardia to be seen. Both the green and variegated stevia are coming into town and there are a few Paper Whites, some yellow daisies and some pansies. The chrysanthemum season just closed has been remarkable. Despite the fact that war conditions prevailed, prices have been higher than for many years and they have been well sustained. There was really no depression from overproduction at any time. This was due partly to there being fewer grown, hut mainly to the choice of varieties. There were more late and midseason va- rieties grown and less of the early sorts, although in fairness it must be said that the season found an extraordinary mar- ket for early sorts, owing to the epi- demic. Prices were at their lowest dur- ing the first week of November and at their highest during the last week. An exception to this may be found in some of the sales during October, which, qual- ity considered, rivaled those of Thanks- giving week. Reconstruction. We have reached a most interesting period in the history of our business. The government has ceased to cheek production through curtailing fuel and withdrawing labor, and conditions are likely to improve slowly. How to meet the present conditions is a serious question. So serious is it as to cause a wide difference of opinion as to the best course to pursue. So wide is this difference of opinion that producers are divided into two camps — those who believe it is best to go slowly and those^ acMiwnnoHUMmiiniHiiiiMiioiiiiiiiiiioMiiiiiiiiiniiiHMiwiaiiiiwiiiiiraiMyuiioiiiuiiuiOM^^ EDWARD REID OFPERS FOR DECEMBER 1 I A Splendid Assortment of the Best I Rosesy Carnations, Violets, Orchids WHEN THEY'RE REID'S THEY'RE RIGHT I 1619- oaii Z 2f> llipilllllUlllQllll nstead St., PHILADELPHIA, PA.

The former, and by far the larger body of growers, both of plants and cut flowers, made their arrange- ments on the basis of the fifty per cent fuel order of last spring. When that was changed in the fall, they had not the labor or the stock ready to operate their entire ranges at once. They be- lieve it better to run part of their places at a profit than to risk a loss of the whole, and they will wait and watch. The other and smaller group of grow- ers are willing to take a chance. This group includes a few plant growers and more growers of cut flowers, of whom many are rose growers. They have se- cured fuel of some sort and expect to get more. They have met the labor prices somehow and are confident that the market will reimburse them for their extremely heavy outlay. This confidence has been greatly strengthened by peace. The wholesalers as a body are in- clined to agree with the second group of growers, to which view they natur- allv incline. Here again opinion is di- vided. "If the market holds," and "If prices do not have to go too high," are the qualifying statements. Results will be watched with keen in- terest. The Bulbs at Dreer's. When it became known that Henry A. Dreer, Inc., had for a second time closed its store in order to get out its bulbs on time, people were not surprised. The bulbs were nearly four weeks later in arriving than last year. If it was a good thing to do then, it probably was an even better thing this year. So when the store reopened, after two weeks' work behind closed doors, and the smoke had been given time to clear away, a descent was made on 714 to 32 The Florists^ Review December 5, 1918. iHnmnimtiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiriniHHinnnMinHmMPWinittinoii THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA CHRISTMAS OFFER B Poinsettia, Ruscus, Roping, Frieze, Rells, Stars, Berries, Burrs, Thistles, Grasses, Fiber Ribbon BASKETS.

Perhaps descent is not the word; ascent would be better, for George D. Clark, who has the bulbs in charge, is on the fourth floor. The smoke had evidently thor- oughly cleared, as Mr. Clark was found cleaning hollyhock seed. He kindly stopped to talk bulbs. Here is what he said: "We received pretty nearly all our bulbs and we have sent them all out except a few Paper Whites. They were in fine condition and, gener- ally speaking, we received what we or- dered. The volume of business was about the same as last year; a little smaller in the number of bulbs, a little larger in the amount of money, but you must remember that both last year and this year were decidedly below 1916. It has been our plan to order conserva- tively. Bulbs are highly perishable; it is not a good plan to have too many. "Soon after peace was declared I wrote regarding Lilium giganteum. I felt so much cheered by the ending of the war that I departed from the usual business form and said, 'Now we have the Kaiser Kanned Kant we have some bulbs'? Tlie answer was discouraging: 'It is too likely they will be frozen in transit in winter.' So it appears we shall have to do without. Of course, there are some lilies here and there are said to be a great many in Canada. ' ' At the Adelphl. The December meeting of the Flo- rists' Club was held in the Hotel Adel- phi December 3. This is the second move the club has made since its home in Horticultural hall was lost. The club met for a year in the Grand Fra- ternity building, but it seemed too vast and unhomelike, so S. S.

Phil. BOSTON. The Market. From the growers' point of view, Thanksgiving business was satisfactory. Prices were high on all flowers and practically everything sold up clean. Ketailers were in a less fortunate posi- tion, as the extrejncly high prices mili- tated against good business and, while they had large sales, they would have been much larger if flowers had been less costly. Roses made higher prices than ever before known here for Thanks- giving. Current quotations were at the rate of $1 per inch of stem per hun- dred. Carnations sold splendidly. All the best flowers averaged $8 per hun- dred, with some specials higher. The lowest average of other grades was $6 per hundred. There was a shortage of violets, good singles easily realizing $2 per hundred and doubles $1.50 to $2. Chrysanthemums never sold so well and they brought double last year's prices, Bonnaffon being the greatest seller. Yellow marguerites sold at from $1 to $4 per hundred and there was an ex- cellent call for pansies, snapdragon, callas, lilies, stevia and other flowers. Among the choicer offerings, cattleyas were plentiful and sold up to $75 per hundred. There was a moderate call for plants. Since Thanksgiving prices have de- clined, but there is little surplus stock arriving. Roses sell for the most part at $4 to $16 per hundred; carnations, $4 to $6. Violets continue scarce and singles have made as high as $2.50 per hundred. Chrysanthemums are becom- ing fewer and some of the blooms show signs of old age. Prices continue good, however. A few sweet p?as are seen and pansies are of excellent quality. Stevia is abundant and a few Paper Whites are seen. Callas are selling re- markably well. Some fine bouvardia is coming in. Cypripcdiuma are in good supply, but cattleyas are much legs abundant 'and high prices are likely to prevail throughout December. Various Notes. Frank Edgar, of Waverley, has had a successful season with chrysanthemums and his receipts are double those of a year ago, with a fair number of flowers still to cut. He has a grand lot of cycla- mens this year and the greater propor- tion are already sold for Christmas. I have never seen as fine pansies at this early season as E. J. Rogean is handling for--Osg«od Bros., the Everett sjjepialists. Individual flowers meas- ured November 30 were three and one- quarter inches across and these large flowers have great substance and come in a fine variety of colors. While the high prices of flowers af- fected in some degree the shipping trade, Joseph Margolia, of H. M. Robin- son & Co., says that his firm did a heavy Thanksgiving business and looks for a record Christmas demand. Henry Quint, of Boyleston street, states that in spite of high prices and a great shortage of help, he took in more cash than ever before at Thanks- giving.

The fine open weather experienced throughout November proved excellent for the sale of bulbs for outdoor plant- ing and stocks at all the seed stores now are practically exhausted. Welch Bros. Co. reports a satisfactory Thanksgiving business, although ship- ping orders would have been larger but for the high price of flowers. John I, Gale, of Tewksbury, is a suc- cessful grower of yellow marguerites in winter and for some weeks has been cutting quantities of flowers which have sold as high as $4 per hundred. The supply of this popular flower promises to be much reduced here this winter. Robert Capers, son of Thomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills, who served for some months with the American army in France, has been invalided homo and is at present ill with double pneumonia in a hospital at Newport News. November proved to be warmer than normal. The mean temperature was 41% degrees against 34% degrees in November, 1917, which proved to be an exceptionally cold month. Precipita- tion was extremely light this year. The first snowfall occurred December 1. Among new corporations listed here during November is the L. J. Renter Co., plant brokers, with present offices at Waverley, Oak road, Waltham. The new concern will deal in all kinds of plants and supplies, specializing in trees, plants and bulbs. L. J. Renter, head of the new firm, is the son of the late S. J. Renter, of Westerly, R. I. He recently was with Peirce Bros., Wal- tham, and is well known to the local trade.

Mrs. Alice Gastovich, the widow of Richard Gastovich, died November 25, in the Presbyterian hospital, where she was taken November 21. Mrs. Gasto- vich had been with relatives in Bethle- hem, Pa., following the funeral of her husband and had just returned to Pitts- burgh to resume her duties with the Ludwig Floral Co. when she was at- tacked with influenza, which rapidly de- veloped into pneumonia. The funeral services were held November 28 in the chapel of Schellhass & Sons.

The Horticultural Society of Western Pennsylvania met November 19 for the first time in two months, the October session having been canceled owing to the ban on public gatherings. Secre- tary Anthony Aloysius Leach presided in the absence of President William Allen, superintendent of the Homewood cemetery, the attendance being smaller than usual owing to illness and the stormy weather. There was no formal program, but Mr. Burnet contributed a splendid varied display of vegetables grown under his supervision on J.

Mr. Edmundsen is contracting for 1919, principally onion seed. Geokoe Tegelaah, of Drevon, Tegelaar & Co., Marseilles, France, who makes his home and lieadipmrters in Chicago, has arrived after having been marooned for months at Marseilles because of his in- ability to secure passage to the United States. The indications are that the exporters of French and Dutch bulbs will do much less than the usual amount of traveling to the United States this winter and spring. The houses w'hich have American branches will seek to book orders by correspond- ence. Cables of inquiry from Japanese ex- porters of lily bulbs seem to indicate that there are quantities of bulbs in storage at Yokohama, held in anticipation of the removal of the present importation re- strictions Qf our War Trade Board. If the bulbs can be brought in they will be extremely welcome. That the price of onion sets will be ad- vanced when shipments are begun after January 1 is the assertion of A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. Grow- ers in and about Chicago say that the warm weather this fall has caused a con- siderable loss through sprouting, which makes for higlier jjrices on good stock. C. O.

The important vine seeds are those of mugkmelon, cucumber, watermelon, sqtHCbh and pumpkin. Most of the muskmelon seed comes from the Ar- kansas valley in southeastern Colorado. Cucumber seed likewise comes from this section and from the northeastern states. Watermelon seed comes from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. Squash and pumpkin seed come from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Mich- igan and other northern and eastern states. With the exception of squash, vine seeds are secondary products, since the crops producing them are grown for other purposes. The supply of seed is sufficient for our needs, as is normally the case. Until recently much carrot, beet and parsnip seed was imported, but now our needs are fairly well supplied from our own crops, which for the most part are grown in California. Some seed of these vegetables, especially of carrots, is exported, but the exportable surplus is small. Because of their relatively high food value, and the fact that two years' growth is required by them to produce seed, the seed supply of these vegetables has been watched with con- siderable interest.

Mention The Review when you write. the time required for seed production by transferring stecklings to Cuba and Porto Eico for winter planting has been considered, but this course is not deemed practicable as yet. Tomato and Lettuce Seed. Much commercial tomato seed is ob- tained as a by-product from the can- ning of tomatoes and the making of catsup and other tomato products. In some cases the reverse is true, and the seed is the main product, while the to- mato pulp is sold to food manufactur- ers. The wholesale price of tomato seed has advanced greatly in the last year, but the cost of labor, more than the size of the tomato crop, determines the price and the quantity of seed. California produces lettuce seed and the supply is rarely in doubt. Lettuce has little real food value, but, like rad- ishes, it is found in all gardens and is on the market throughout the year. The seed requirements, therefore, are large. A great many other vegetables, such as celery, parsley, okra and collards, are grown, but we are able to produce enough seed of these to meet our own needs without special difficulty. The high prices that obtain for vege- table seed doubtless will stimulate the planting of a much larger acreage for seed in the future than even that of 1917 and this should not be discouraged. On the other hand, these prices will tempt inexperienced growers to engage in the industry, with a financial loss to themselves and without profit to the country. This would be a real economic waste and should be avoided. Other countries, notably Japan, are encouraging the production of vegetable seed, but as yet they have not materially affected the market here. Summary and Outlook. Never before in the history of our country has the question of seed supply been so vitally important and never has it been so necessary that all legitimate WHY DON'T YOU ORDER SOME X^ Sweet Peas?

It is not the time to break down any feature of the great seed in- dustry organization, since there are no means at hand effectively to replace the tested and proved parts of the ma- chinery. Individual interests must ex- pect to suffer, but they must be pro- tected to the extent of obtaining from them the greatest possible measure of efficiency. Temporary seed shortages have devel- oped under new economic conditions and they may continue, but farmers and seedsmen are resourceful and they may be expected to find ways and means to meet not only the needs of this country, but also those of other countries which may be dependent upon us.

Thanksgiving proved to be a bumper occasion for the florists of this city and vicinity, the volume of business re- ported being far in excess of that for similar days in several years. There was much to be thankful for and money was plentiful and the demand greater than the supply of A-1 stock. The long period of mild weather had given the growers nmch uneasiness on account of the early maturing of Thanksgiving stock, which caused a shortage in some lines. As it was known several days in ad- vance that the usual stock was inade- quate for a greatly increased demand, prices took an upward tendency early in the week. Providence has always made much of chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving and the queen of autumn- held full sway on its throne of glory and brought the best prices ever known here, ranging from $1.50 to $8 per dozen wholesale for single blooms, while sprays and seconds sold at cor- respondingly high rates. Various Notes. Nathan Max, of San Francisco, ar- rived November 28 and is stopping with his brother-in-law, Joseph E. Koppel- man. Charles Macnair is recovering from an attack of influenza which has con- fined him to the house. Timothy O'Connor was a business visitor in New York and vicinity last week. Macnair, Florist, furnished the hand- some large basket of white chrysanthe- mums presented to the newly elected High Priest of Providence chapter, Royal Arch Masons, at the 125th anni- versary November 23. The store of Vose the Florist, Main street, Woonsocket, is now being con- ducted by Linda V. Foster, of Cumber- land Hill, according to her statement filed with the citv clerk's office. \V. E. Barrett & Co. distributed tur- keys to their employees for Thanksgiv- ing, following a custom of several years. At the November meeting of the Ehodc Island Horticultural Societv a communication from the Park and Gar- den Club of Flushing, N. Y., asking that action be taken on a resolution calling for the renaming of roses now bearing names of German origin was laid on the table, the sense of the meeting being that to give new names to oM roses would cause much confusion among horticulturists and that, should sucn action be brought about, the roses would be catalogued as "So-and-So," formerly "Such-and-Such," and this would not result in the elimination of the German names. D. W. McCoid has decided to close his greenhouses on Halsey street for the winter. W. H. M. St. Paul, Minn. — Ivan Tucker intends to build two greenhouses here in the early spring, of a combined area of 10,000 feet. He will grow mums for the first crop. Flint, Mich. — H. H. Evans, who does business as Evans the Florist, with greenhouses at 417 East Eighth street, owns a piece of property four or five miles north of the town of Lake Worth, Fla., on which he is thinking of start- ing the growing of asparagus and gladioli for northern markets.

The officers of the various florists' clubs and societies are reminded that if their organizations can qualify for representation on the executive board of the Society of American Florists, evi- dence of qualification in accordance with By-law 2, Section 2(a), must be in the hands of the secretary before January 1, next. It is necessary, under the by- law, that a complete list of membership of an affiliating organization be pre- sented, together with a certified copy of a resolution passed by the body ex- pressing a desire for such representa- tion. John Young, Sec'y. S. A. F. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. The Christmas Advertising. Isearly every mail now brings to the secretary's office requests, accompanied by cash in various forms, for deliveries of flowers at Christmas in different parts of the country. Many, of course, are from soldiers in France. If our publicity is working to this extent abroad, what may we expect it is doing here at home? Our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," is taking hold better even than we expected. And our Christmas advertisements in the mag- azines are 'doing just what we intended they should do — they are influencing the public to consider floral offerings as most acceptable and desirable Christ- mas gifts. It may be stated once more that eight magazines of national circulation are carrying our Christmas message. If we can judge by indications, this advertising will result, for florists, in an enormous amount of business, which without it would not be produced. And yet hundreds of florists who will share in this increased business seem to be unable to make up their minds that it is to their own interests to subscribe to our ])ublicity campaign fund, so that we can complete our plans for the pres- ent year. Most subscribers of amounts of $100 or more are amazed to think that in spite of an improved demand for flowers, resulting from our efforts so far, there is an apparent unwillingness on the part of many florists to shoulder even a small ratio of the expense. A quarter of a dollar a week seems an insignificant sum, but we should be glad to enter up subscriptions for it just the same — less if anybody thinks he cannot afford that much. The Increase in Business. Those among our subscribers who have watched closely the progress of our campaign declare that there can be no doubt about the fact that business has been increased from fifteen to thirty-five per cent over what would have been the aggregate this particular- ly lean year. The best way to get direct benefit from our magazine advertising is to connect with it locally by running in local newspapers, under a fiorist's own name, an electrotype which is, as nearly as possible, a counterpart of the maga- zine advertisement. Our promotion bureau, at 1170 Broadway, New York city, supplies these electrotypes at cost. The Christmas electrotype is now ready. Send $1 and it will be promptly mailed. With proper use it will demonstrate to you better than anything else the value of our campaign. It is a sure winner. The hundreds of florists who have used the electrotypes previously sent out are all back again for the Christmas pro- duction. They know its value, for they have determined it by experience. We have a little pamphlet describing all our aids for direct advertising. Any- one who has not received a copy should drop us a request for one. These aids are designed especially to assist the trade to get the full benefit from our advertising. Additional Subscriptions. The following new subscriptions. Seattle.Wash.

Business this year was encouraging and quantities of stock were disposed of for the occasion at prices that compared favorably with those of last year. Of course, chrysan- themums were the most popular and plentiful flower, and, as far as can be learned, sufficient stock arrived to take care of needs. It included a good grade of Bonnaffon, Turner and Yellow Tur- ner, Golden Chadwick, Harvard, Chief- tain, Maud Dean, Rager and Engue- hard. There was also a good supply of pompons, which are always good sellers for this event. Both potted and cut mums, as well as pompons, were greatly in demand and, judging from reports from the different stores, the better grades of chrysanthemums were the best sellers. There was a good supply of roses on hand and the demand was good in all grades.

The Lancaster county florists enjoyed a visiting tour November 21 to some of the establishments bordering the city of Lancaster, calling first at Henry D. Rohrer's. Bonnaffon mums occupied six liouscs at this range. They were cut throughout the month of November and in quantity for Thanksgiving. Beds of Seidewitz and Dolly Dimple also are grown and are well liked. Six houses are devoted to carnations. Matchless and Supreme are the only varieties grown. A house of sweet peas is begin- ning to bloom. Benches of cyclamen and Primula obconica in 5-inch pots are in fine shape. Many thousands of Primula malacoides in 4-inch pots are showing buds and give promise of a wealth of beauty. The party called next at the range of B. F. Barr & Co. The section of rose houses here, where all the best varie- ties are grown, is in exceptionally fine shape, full of vigorous young growth, the picture of health. Of late mums Mr. Barr grows Nagoya, Golden Chad- wick, Patty, Bonnaffon and many of the finer varieties of pompons. Sev- eral beds of mistletoe will make grand blooms for mid-December sale. The carnation houses are looking well. Ward, Matchless, White Enchantress, Harry Fenn and Benora are the leaders.

Thanksgiving business was excellent and the local florists were exceptionally busy. During the influenza epidemic, which, we are thankful to state, struck Bridgeport more lightly than some sec- tions of the country, the stores were more rushed than they have ever been in recent years. A number had trouble in getting enough flowers to meet the demand for funeral designs, especially in the early weeks of the epidemic, when dahlias were about the only flow- era to be obtained. Now, however, the disease has about spent itself and the fewer deaths have reduced funeral work, although some florists still report a great demand for large designs.

Prospects are bright for a good business and it is confidently expected that the demand for cut flowers and plants "will be larger than ever before. Money appears to be plentiful, as there has been a great deal of overtime work in the local factories, and it remains with the florists to improve their op- portunities. Judging from reports, all are making great preparations. Various Notes. James Horan & Son now have an ex- ceptionally attractive store. A new building has been erected on the old site and they moved into it from their temporary quarters the week before Thanksgiving. The decorations are in light gray and the flowers show well against this background. As the cases and fixtures are new throughout, the general effect is pleasing. They will have little trouble in disposing of the fine stock which is daily seen in their store. The Park Garden & Flower Shop has been cutting a good supply of mums and they met with a strong demand. Chad- wick was of a better quality than usual and made a gorgeous show. This firm has two large houses devoted entirely to carnations this year. James E. Beach reports that several large service flag designs and an im- mense police commissioner's emblem were among the numerous pieces made recently. Mums were at their best at this establishment and there was a great demand for them. Although the 1 Jo Hafeemehrs ! The finest floral arrangements, flowers and plants furnished on telegraphic orders.

TEXAS Convalescent Camp CURTIS THE FLORIST crop of carnations is heavy, they move well. Julius Eeck had trouble obtaining flowers to meet the large demand for funeral orders. He reports that his son, George Eeck, of this firm, is stationed at Fort Monroe, Va., and his other son, John R. Reck, is a First-Class Sergeant in Motor Car Company 312, now in France. Robert Hawkins looked forward to Thanksgiving business with a great deal of interest, as he believed it would be bigger than ever before, and he was not disappointed. Funeral work still keeps all hands rushing. The New York Florist had an attrac- tive window display last week. The store was filled with a splendid assort- ment of all varieties of flowers. Gus. F. Herthal, of the West End Florist, reports a good business and expects it will be better than ever, now that the war is over. George Pflomin had a splendid call for hospital flowers during the epidemic. His location near one of the large hos- pitals makes this possible and quantities MILWAUKEE, WIS.

Luckily the night was still, and the bucket brigade that was formed to fight the blaze saved the other boiler house, the two large barns and the garage, which were only fifty feet distant from the burned buildings. The heating plant was put out of commis- sion, but in two days' time was going again and the crops in the greenhouses did not suffer much, although the tem- perature dropped to 28 degrees.

Beyond a report of the Thanksgiving trade, there is not much to be said of the market condition and Thanks- giving trade was not what the majority expected it to be. "Whether people were frightened off by the high prices or not, the florists are not agreed. Some say that they did not expect it to amount to much, but this statement was not well founded. Expectations in general were for a record-breaking day. This it was not; so it was disappointing. It is evident that flowers are priced too high for the general public. Many of the florists are trying to hold their trade by making a smaller percentage of profit. The consequence of this policy almost anyone can imagine. It will be impossible for them to stay in business any length of time. Already a large proportion of the trade have learned to use artificial flowers. The flower supply has been exasperatingly short since asters went out of season. Now, since mums are gone, it will be worse, unless stock is shipped in from other points. F. P. A. NEWPOET, E. I.

Brown, manager of the Brown Bulb Eanch, Capitola, Cal., has just returned from an automobile trip through the five northwestern states, and is enthusiastic over the prospects for both the florists' and seed business in that section. "Besides the extra business caused by the influenza epidemic, florists say the season has been good," reports Mr. Brown. "They are all looking for the best season they ever have experienced. While in the northwest I booked orders for 1919 deliveries of Freesia Purity and tulip bulbs and sweet pea seed far in excess of my expectations. Gladiolus bulbs for immediate shipment also were in good demand. This must show that everyone in that section of the country looks for excellent business next year." Mrs. Brown accompanied her husband on the trip, which was over the Siskiyou, Cascade and other mountain ranges. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. The florists all proclaim Thanksgiving business this year almost double that of any previous year. Although there was a shortage of stock locally, relief came through shipments of mums and roses from San Francisco, which arrived in fine condition. Prices received for all kinds of stock assured the retailers and wholesalers a prosperous holiday trade. The only thing likely to arise to defeat this expectation is the difficulty in get- ting enough stock to meet the expected heavy demand. Various Notes. The Hollywood Gardens have just got through cutting a heavy crop of roses. Bosaia Bros, are cutting hundreds of fine orchids, which came in handy for the Thanksgiving trade. They report a good demand for this popular flower, both wholesale and retail. The Woodlawn Flower Shop reports a thorough clean-up of stock for Thanks- giving. W. S. G. LOS ANQELES. The Market. There never has been such a short- age of stock so early in the season as this year. Mums were over early, x)wing to heavy rains and wind storms, which ruined much of the late stock. Carnations are higher in price than is usual at Christmas and stock is difficult to obtain at that. Telegraph orders con- tinue to pour in to the wholesalers from the east and middle west and ten times the amount of stock available could be JH^JiS, sold. Boses also have shortened up again and there is nothing to take their place. A few sweet peas are coming in, but they are all snapped up by the retailers for local business. There has been a little reduction in funeral work, but it still is the mainstay of business. Doubtless many out-of-town florists were disappointed in not getting their orders for Thanksgiving filled, but the stock was not to be had at any price and wholesalers could do nothing. The greens situation is improving and a fair supply is in anticipation from the south, supplemented by local stock, both wild and cultivated. Storms Work Havoc. The winds that sometimes sweep over southern California are apt to be of great severity. We had a visit from King Boreas last week, in fact, and as a result many fine trees were uprooted and considerable damage was done other- wise. Heavy rains accompanying the wind storm left the soil soft and mushy and in the nurseries rows of trees and even shrubs were blown over. In the San Fernando valley the wind usually is worse than elsewhere and this time was no exception. Northeast of the city also, in the section between Ontario and Biverside and in San Bernardino, there was a regular sand storm that made travel difficult and dangerous. Many of the cloth and lath structures used for flower growing were badly damaged and in some instances leveled to the ground. LX5J:X!5:X! :s?T:x']LrVt::i ^ Flower Show In Doubt. The Liberty fair grounds in Los An- geles suffered badly in the storms, many of the strucfures being blown down and others injured. Owing to another postponement of the opening, the com- mittee in charge of the flower show felt that it was impossible to pull off the show this year and resigned. Unless a new committee is appointed, which is unlikely, there will be no flower show. Various Notes. Arthur Gleave, of Santa Barbara, made a flying trip to this city last week. S. Murata & Co. have put on a new Dodge delivery car. The H. N. Gage Co., Montebello, is showing a nice line of small flowering stock, such as primulas and begonias of various types. All the retailers report Thanksgiving business satisfactory; there was no un- usual activity, but a good, lively de- mand. More business could have been done if stock had been more plentiful. H. B.

For instance, good American Beauties could be had for $3 per dozen and good chrys- anthemums for $2 to $2.50 per dozen, whereas a year ago the best Beauties reached $4 per dozen and mums $3. Roses selling for $1.50 the week before were advanced to $2 and other prices were increased on a similar scale. There was a fine cut of roses, including Rus- sell, Ophelia and Beauties, but the de- mand was sufficiently strong to assure a close clean-up for the holiday, espe- cially as out-of-town shipments early in the week were heavy. Cold and rainy weather had a tendency to shorten up the supply of chrysanthemums, but there was some nice stock to be had, two of the best varieties being Helen Frick and Appleton. Carnations were still on the short side of the market. Miscellaneous outdoor stock has dwin- dled down to marigolds and cosmos, both of which continue to sell well. Violets constitute an important item, the demand being ^mple to clear the supplies daily. Paper White narcissi are a welcome addition, the first offer- ings for the season having put in an appearance last week. Poinsettias, both cut and potted, show up well and the demand leaves nothing to be de- sired. The same may be said of cycla- mens. Other flowering plants are con- spicuous by their absence, with the ex- ception of a limited supply of nice heather plants and cockcombs. Receipts of California red berries are light.

Joseph, Grant avenue, before enlisting in the Merchant Marine several months ago, has obtained a furlough until the first of the year and is in his old posi- tion again. His associates are glad to welcome him back for the holiday rush. A.

The world at large, he says, has much to rejoice over, and there is bound to be a good deal of entertaining, home adorn- ment, etc., calling for liberal expendi- tures for flowers. His firm filled large shipping orders for violets, greens, roses and chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving, which would indicate that conditions in the outlying territory were favorable for a fine holiday business. Local buy- ers also have ordered with a freedom indicating confidence in a big holiday demand. Among the orders here was a 72 The Florists^ Review DaciMBKB 6, 1018.

The heavy rain November 23 stopped chrysanthemum shipments for a day or two at the headquarters of the United Flower & Supply Co, but the flowers dried in time for many to be shipped to outlying points for the Thanksgiving trade. Large orders for violg^s were filled also. In fact, holiday business generally was excellent, according to officials of this firm. Potted poinsettias and cyclamens sold especially well lo- cally. Domoto Bros, are well satisfied with Thanksgiving business, having cleaned up closely on all the stock they had to offer. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., has no complaints to make about business, as his force was rushed getting out Thanksgiving orders for violets, roses, chrysanthemums and other seasonable stock. C. Kooyman sums up the stock situa- tion and business in the few words: "Flowers are scarce and high, but the demand leaves nothing to be desired." Mr. Francis, of the Francis Floral Co., has just brought out a line of pastel pottery, with a view to doing away with the use of crepe paper and mats on Christmas plants. After much experi- mentation and careful study he has succeeded in getting colors to blend perfectly with the different holiday flowers. He is still supplying a big de- mand for his novelty creations in lotus and money plants. When the embargo is removed on lotus, he plans to supply other florists with his specialties, but until that time he feels compelled to conserve his supply for his own trade. The Art Floral Co. enjoyed a big Thanksgiving business. P. V. Matraia is gratified that his force has all re- covered from the influenza before the holiday rush. F. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, said Thanksgiving business started off with a rush and he looked for sales to show a nice increase over last year's. The MacRorie-McLaren Co. put in a handsome Thanksgiving window dis- play, which caused many pedestrians to halt in their course up and down Powell street. Walter Hoff has just returned to duty after being home sick for ten days. When visited the day before Thanks- giving, Podesta & Baldocchi were rushed getting out orders, indicating a banner holiday business, and much the same condition prevailed at the store of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., on Kearny street.

The Cottage Gardens Nurseries has been granted permission by the Cali- fornia corporation commissioner to sell 3,000 shares of its capital stock for cash or in cancellation of indebtedness, and also to sell 850 shares of its treasury stock at par. The hearing of the contest to estab- lish the heirship in the estate of John Kelly, former gardener for Leland Stan- ford, who left an estate of $200,000 to charity, is under way. More than twen- ty heirs from all parts of the United States and Ireland have appeared to claim relationship to the deceased, whereas Mrs. Caroline Davis, in whose care he was during the latter part of his life, says he told her he did not have an heir in the world. The former gar- dener amassed his fortune loaning money to state employees and in specu- lating in bonds, stocks and swamp land certificates. G. A. Nehrhood, of Paso Robles, Cal., reports that he has ordered for himself and others in that district a total of 67,000 almond and fruit trees for plant- ing the coming season. George H.

Zimmerman Bros, are proprietors of 50,000 perennials in 400 different va- rieties, grown at their gardens. Their business is increasing as the public is being educated to the value of peren- nials for cut flowers for various uses. There are four different kinds of soil in the gardens and in the last ten years they have been trying out perennials from all parts of the globe. One of the brothers is located at Los Angeles, where he grows such plants and seeds as require a warmer climate. This firm claims the most complete collection of perennials, of both home and foreign introduction, on the pacific coast. Many of the newer varieties have proven to be excellent for cut flowers and they intend making a specialty of all such varieties as soon as their merits have been tried out in the gar- dens.

Their dahlias were planted this year the latter part of June, which was later than ever before, but they came into their prime just when the blooms were in the greatest demand. This firm has a number of promising varieties for cut flowers of their own raising, as well as some giants for exhi- bition and garden display. But it will require another year or more of testing before they are ready for introduction. The soil at their gardens is especially adapted to the growing of dahlia tubers, being deep, with just enough gravel to give it perfect drainage. H. K. rORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. The Thanksgiving trade this year sur- passed all records of previous years for the same holiday, although the florists were handicapped by a scarcity of cut flowers, particularly chrysanthemums, upon which the trade always depends for this holiday, and by stormy weather Thanksgiving day, which reduced tran- sient trade to a minimum. Insufficient supplies were supplemented by the fine line of blooming plants offered, which included handsome Cincinnati begonias, cyclamen, Primula obconica and chrys- anthemum plants. Prices of mums ranged from $4 to $6 per dozen. Pom- pons were of better quality than the larger mums and the supply was wholly inadequate. They brought $1.50 per dozen. Eoses, represented by Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Eichmond, Ophelia, Sunburst, Shawyer and Columbia, sold for $3 to $6 per dozen, while the shorter grades brought $1.50 and $2. Carna- tions were even shorter in supply than roses and brought $1 and $1.50 per dozen. There was a heavier call for corsages for Thanksgiving than in former years. Funeral orders poured into the retail establishments November 29 and kept everyone hustling to pro- cure stock. A number of weddings Thanksgiving week necessitated further activity in order to obtain supplies. Greens, like other florists' stocks, are scarce. Various Notes. A handsome wedding decoration for both church and house was executed by the Freese Floral Co. Thanksgiving day and bouquets and baskets were fur- nished. David Vesey has returned home, fol- lowing the signing of the armistice, from Washington, D. C, where he en- listed in the motor transport corps. Mr. Vesey was admitted to the bar of the Supreme court before leaving Washing- ton, as he is a graduate of the law school of the University of Michigan. "The heaviest demand yet experi- enced for Thanksgiving day," is the re- port of W. J. & M. S. Vesey, who could not begin to take care of the demand for flowers. This firm had excellent orchids, roses and mums, and a fine crop of lettuce and tomatoes, which also found a ready market. Funeral work for out-of-town patrons increased substantially during the last two weeks, on account of the spread of the influenza epidemic throughout the state, 2,200 deaths having been reported in Indiana in one week.

It is the general opinion among nurs- erymen that there is to be at once the greatest demand ever known for orna- mentals. OsBORN G. Austin, proprietor of the Beacon Hill Nursery, San Diego, Cal., has bought the nursery department of the Harris Seed Co., of that city, of which he has been manager for the last five years. He has enlarged the business of this department considerably and is grow- ing much of his stock at Encanto, where he has extensive grounds. He handles the bulk of the fruit tree business of that section, as well as the landscape work. He has a large shipping trade as well. SHORTAGE OF NURSERY STOCK. Demand Exceeds Supply. "We can not remember in the his- tory of our concern any year when we have experienced so general a shortage of nursery stock as this year," writes B. Loss, sales manager of the Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City, Minn. "One can hardly point to a single item in the fruit line which is not unusually scarce. When such is the case here in the central west, where the fruit plant- ing does not measure up to that of the east or west, we can imagine that condi- tions are even worse in those sections. Apples, which for several years have been a drug on the market, at present are more than treble the normal price. We do not consider that this shortage is due to any extent to increased con- sumption. We think it is caused rather by under-propagation. An Optimistic Outlook. "When the war commenced, we an- ticipated a shortage of labor and con- ditions similar to such as those expe- rienced in Europe and we laid our plans accordingly. We presume that every other nurseryman in America did the same thing and some of them went further than we, and this, we think, ac- counts for some of the shortages. Last spring we were certain that at the end of this business year we would find our- selves with an immense surplus of orna- mentals in all varieties, but, exclusive of shade trees, we are stripped this year even of shrubs and perennials more completely than we have been for a long time. We have a few shade trees left, but we commence to think that they may be good property yet and we are not at all anxious to clean up these. "Looking forward, we have overy rea- A Word From Holland To American Importers Recent cabled advices from our home office at Boskoop inform us that the folks at home are ready to accept orders for Holland-grown nursery stock, and anticipate no difficulty in shipping during the coming spring.

BALTIMORE. The Market. With Thanksgiving day over, the mar- ket is getting back to normal. There was a scant supply of mums on hand for this holiday, but all the florists report good business. Roses were in good crop and sweet peas and violets were to be had. Everyone reports one of the best Thanksgiving weeks on record. In fact, the commission houses were sold up and orders had to be turned down. In former years it was only the uptown stores that noticed and maile preparation for this holiday, but this year business has been good throughout the entire city. Indeed, many florists who never expected to do any business for Thanksgiving were surprised at the calls they had for flowers. If flowers arc a luxury, it seems the people have money to buy them anyway and they are going to indulge in luxuries. Carnations are getting better each week and, while the sujjjdy is hardly equal to the demand as yet, some of the flnest I have ever seen are coming to the market. Sweet peas are still on the short side, but are becoming more ])lentiful and are of better quality each week. Violets are beginning to come, but as yet they are of poor quality. Kvcryone reports business as being good; in fact, every- one I have interviewed says that busi- ness is far above tke average. - Club Meeting. The Gardeners' and ]?'lorists' Club held its rfegular meeting November 25. Barely a quorum was on hand and the small attendance started a discussion as to why there were not more of the boys present. It developed that many had to do their own firing and had no time for club meetings. I'rof. Corry, of the Maryland State Agricultural College, was present and made a ]»lea for the florists to take part in the Soutliern Commercial Congress Exposition, to be held in the Armory, December 9 to 14. The club, last spring, promised the management to make an exhibit, but afterwards, on account of war conditions, the exjjosition was called off and none of the florists had made any preparation for it. Owing to the lateness of the date and the scarcity of flowers, it wa.s decided that it would not be good jiolicy for the florists to take any active i)art. This, T think, is a great misfortune, for, while the flo- rists arc absolutely right in tlioir deci- sion, yet this exj)osition is going to be a big affair and it seems a pity tlie florists slioiUd not have a jiart in it.

Price restrictions on bituminous coal may be removed by the Fuel Adminis- tration within two weeks. Fuel Admin- istrator Garfield said November 29 that he hoped to cancel the price regulations not later than the middle of December. Present prices, as fixed by the Fuel Ad- ministration, range from $2.35 to $4.95 a ton at the mines. Dr. Garfield said it may be possible to abandon the zone system of distribu- tion of bituminous coal by the middle of December, but that action to this end will be taken only after consultation with the Railroad Administration. The Fuel Administrator said he could not "take his hands off" the anthracite situation until winter is over. This was t^ken to mean that the government will continue its control over anthracite coal until the end of the coal year, April 1, and that the Fuel Administration will continue to function until that time. GAS FOB STEAM SYSTEM. In using gas for fuel, would any more gas be needed for steam radiation than for a hot water system! My place is piped for steam and I have been think- ing of using gas for fuel, so as to save labor and prevent the accumulation of soot on the glass. My boiler is a 6-sec- tion cast-iron McLain. R. K. S. — O. If the amount of radiation is such that it is not necessary to heat the water above 160 degrees for hot water heating, the hot water will be found considerably more economical than steam, with the water heated to 212 degrees or more. With hot water under pressure, however, there will be no advantage over steam when the water is at or above the boil- ing point. To heat with hot water, it probably will be necessary to make a considerable increase in the amount of radiation, and the fiows and returns should be larger in a hot water than in a steam plant. Using gas as fuel will not only be much cleaner, but will result in saving the labor required for firing and the re- moval of ashes when coal is used. TOLEDO, 0. The Market. The scarcity of cut stock has been continuous since early in October. The market here is still a stiff one. Mums retailing at from 25 cents to $1 each find quick buyers. Roses at $5 per dozen also move quickly. Carnations are con- spicuous by their absence. In small quantities they bring $1.50 per dozen. Funeral work throughout October and November was more than could be handled by the trade. Oak sprays, cro- tons and artificial flowers were used ex- tensively in order to meet the demand.

We make every type of boiler that is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest water tube steam boiler (600 horsepower). For the above reason we can furnish the most efficient boiler unit in every case. It is the Kroeschell policy to supply only that type of boiler which is best suited to the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand.

As a whole, October was a banner month as regards the volume of busi- ness, having surpassed December, 1917. November has run close to October. Thanksgiving business, as reported by members of the trade, was the best on record. There were not enough mums to go around. Pot plants moved freely in the effort to cover the shortage of mums. Various Notes. Some attractive windows for Thanks- giving were noted. That of Mrs. J. B. Freeman was vivid with gold-colored cornucopias and attractive plant bas- kets.

As anticipated, tlie (ii'iiiand for flow- ers for Thanksgiving day was greatly in excess of the supply. A complete clean-up of all salable stock is reported and tiie shortage is estimated at twenty- live per cent of the demand. Mums naturally occujiied the stellar role for the occasion and, despite the unusual })rices asked and the apparent abun- dance of sujijily, were sold out coin- jiletely by November 2(5. The demand centered on the larger sizes, wliicli re- sulted in early exhaustion of the avail- able supply. In consecpience, the small and meiliiim sizes assiuned \aiues be- yond their intrinsic riglits and the bur- den of the condition that resulted was jjlacetl on tlie eleventh-liour jiurchaser. Trices ranged fi-oiii .fl' per dozen to .$0 for specials, with the popular call at $o and .t4. J'ompons won a i)lace in diversified demand that is projihetic of a sharp contest in the years ahead for an equal if not sujjerior position in pub- lic favor with their relatives of grosser ])roi>ortions. Abs()i])tion of the sifjiply at 75 cents ])er bunch satisfied but fifty per cent of the demand and not a single salable bunch was to be seen the morn- ing of November 1*7. Eoses and carnations were equally balanced in sup])ly and demand. (Jar- )iations sold easilv at $(> i)er hundred and roses at $<5, in, .$1U and .$12. The call for adiantum was strong and other decorative material met with a satisfac- tory demand at good prices. Various Notes. John Kirchner, of Cleveland, accom- panied by his son and chief aide, Nor- man Kirchner, paid a characteristic visit to this market last week and, before the dust created by the sjjeed of tlieir arrival had subsided, had consummated terms covering tlieir season's recpiire- ments from here and were off again, homeward bound.

Every old-timer in Chicago could have been a multimillionaire if he had only bought up outlying property and held it. Perfectly simple -yet only a few did it. But they or their descendants control the huge Chicago real estate markets of today. It's easy to look back and see where you could have made big money, but it takes real head-work to see it and do it in time. Now Is the time to get busy to be in time for tlie bitf time JUST AHEAD. Don't be a cracker-box philosopher twenty years from now and tell the bunch of Has-beens and Never-has-beens in the cross- roads grocery store how you miitht have been a rich man— one of the king pins in the greenhouse world, if you'd only built the RIGHT kind of a house IN TIME to be ready for the rising tide of prosperity that hit the country after the World War. Profit by past experience, but DON'T WAIT for experience to teach you. USE your powers of OBSERVATION. Every branch of industry is preparing to handle a greater volume of business than ever before dreamed of. The florist trade— your trade is no exception. It is now entering a new era— an era of growth and expansion beyond all previous hopes. It has proved its stability, its permanence— the fact that it is essential. Now for the reward ! You showed grit, you showed endurance— you showed your faith in the future while you were taking the gaff of the war strain— now don't let neglect and procrastination rob you of your due. You have been backing American soldiers, sailors and marines— now buy American greenhouses— they'll WIN for you JUST AS SURELY as the American boys did in France. The American boys possessed a something that carried victory with it. The American Greenhouse— the AGMCO— possesses the superior points in design, construction and manufacture that carry with them com- mercial SUCCESS FOR THE GROWER. —where do YOU want YOUR catalogue sent?

The Florists' Review Rear, Side and Front Views of the Baur & Steinkamp New Carnation, No. 414. Our No. 414 will henceforth be known as "Ruth Baur." We will disseminate this beautiful new carnation in the season of 1919-20. Orders are being booked now, to be filled in rotation as booked. The variety has been certificated wherever shown and in our estimation is one of the best carnations ever offered to the trade. Its good points are: The most beautiful shade of clear light pink, between a flesh and a rose pink. A fine stem that always holds the bloom erect. A splendid size, equal to the best commercial sorts. A form which is just about ideal. A substance that has carried it in fine condition from Indianapolis to Boston. A freedom of growth and bloom that will be a delight to the grower. Has never shown any tendency to split the calyx and comes as near grading 100% perfect blooms as anything we know of. The price will be $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. Come and see it growing. You will be pleased with its general excellence. See last week's issue for prices on stiandard varieties. We root them in large quantity.

Where Ingenuity Will Win EOVEEBIALLY the most P uncertain of all special flower days, Christmas this year presents a different I and wholly new problem. \^_^ It is a problem individual in character, as the same solution may not apply in different cases, but it is a problem in which we have a common interest for the reason that the correct answer, found by each in- dividual, will result in the greatest ad- vance the trade as a body ever has made. This year's spe- cial Christmas problem comes from the fact that the demand for stock undoubtedly will exceed all prev- ious records, by some percentage un- determinable in advance, while the sup- ply is short all along the line — how short we do not know, as the peculiar conditions make for widely varying re- ports. There is no shadow of doubt that the demand will be unusually great; that it would be something phenomenal if only the trade had the stock to per- mit of normal prices, and the assistants to make easy selling, was made appar- ent by the tremendous business done at Thanksgiving. But a year of war and pressure on the industry has put us where, as a class, we have neither the stock nor the help to take full advantage of the opportunity. Under the circumstances, the resource- ful man will win. There is a saying, particularly among the older generation of florists, that it always is either a feast or a famine in the flower business. Eight now we have the world's rec- ord feast of business and famine of flow- ers. Not that there are no flowers, for there are many flow- ers, but that the de- mand never before has so far exceeded the available supply. Demand has grown amazingly, while pro- duction has been re- duced. io what degree the supply has been «ut down by the pressure under which ine trade has labored for the last year no man can tell. A few fortunate flo- rists have been able to run their places exactly as usual, but the majority have suf- fered more or less, prin- cipally because of labor shortage, although se- vere weather last win- ter, fuel restriction or- ders by the government, the cessation of plant im- ports, transportation dif- ficulties and the high cost of many necessary supplies all have influenced the production of stock for Christmas. On the whole it does not seem that production has been reduced so much as demand has increased. There was a temporary shortage of stock last win- ter, but as soon as milder weather camQ market conditions returned to some- ing approximating normal. There was enough stock to meet the needs of a summer business in many places rather better than usual and autumn was marked by no uncommon circumstance until the wave of influenza brought a rush of funeral work which swept the country bare of flowers. Since then everything has been selling clean and there has been a call for more. Peace brought a boom and Thanksgiving a v 0 1 u m e of sales seem- ingly limit- ed only by the possibil- ity of get- ting flowers and not at all affected by the rising prices, while the whole- sale markets continued to stiffen and advance as chrysanthe - mums went out and early Christmas buy- ers made their appearance. The production of Christmas plants never has equalled the trade's ability to sell them, but it has been large enough in recent years to affect the value of cut flowers, the prices of which, at wholesale, are governed absolutely by the ages old law of supply and de- mand. This year, however, flowering plants are, if anything, less plentiful than cut flowers and they exercise no influence at all on the values of other articles. Foliage plants also are in small supply. The popular Christmas greens are affected by the lack of labor and the preconceived idea that trans- portation would be uncertain. Even lines of manufactured accessories are less extensive and diverse than usual because of the influence of war. Opposed to this condition of relatively short supply, which seems to be general in the principal centers, there is a de- mand which, were it not restrained by the scarcity of material, would exceed the greatest previous records. How far prices can be carried upward without causing an injurious reaction, no one can say. It probably varies with each florist's clientele. But it is plainly evident that the florist who makes the most out of the big holiday de- mand will be the one who displays the greatest in- genuity, the man who can make his stock go farthest. It will be a great success for the flo- rist who can make attractive arrange- ments with little material — in a word, for the man who can mix art with mer- chandise, thereby increasing the quan- tity. Florists proverbially are resourceful; face to face with necessity they, as a class, rise to the emergency and acquit, themselves with credit to the profession and satisfaction to the public. Fore- warned, as we are this Christmas, won- ders will be accomplished. First of all, of course, reliance must be placed on the supply houses, for baskets, ribbons, ruscus, frieze, greens, etc. With these accessories flowers may be made to go much farther than they do when abundant. When flowers are plentiful many flower stores, especially those catering to the transient trade in the larger cities, sell nothing but cut flowers, loose. These are the ones which will be hard- est put to it to find stock this season. The stores which will show the best records of sales and prof- its will be the ones which habitually do 18 The Florists^ Review Decbmbbb 12, 191^. most of their business with flowers ar- ranged instead of loose; they can make them go farther and can charge for the arrangement as well as for the stock. It has been proved time after time that the public comes to the florist for deco- rations, not necessarily flowers, but any pretty arrangement that is bright and cheerful. Such good sellers can be de- vised by any experienced florist with a minimum of material and of a charac- ter to appeal to his special class of trade. Get busy now and prepare for a record demand — sell cut flowers to those who will pay your price, but have something else you can push and which will relieve the shortage. ^'^V»^l^»>^llAS^l^l^JlvS^t^l^l!«^l^l^4i^Jl-V^ /•Mr(«Y]rrs>(ir?s\iiirsvir/»\irrsxiiTsviii«vi.rs COLD STOSAGE UUES. I planted my cold storage giganteum lilies October 5 and they are now from four to eight inches high and nearly all are showing buds and will be too early for Easter. I have not had previous experience with cold storage bulbs. What can be done to lengthen the stems of these plants without blasting the buds? H. H.— ni. The lilies mentioned would, of course, be much too early for Easter. Cold storage stock always lacks the strength of fresh bulbs. Do not attempt to keep your plants cool or you will stunt them and probably blast most of the buds. Keep them warm; 60 to 65 degrees at night. To lengthen the stems, shade the house, or the part of it where the lilies are growing. By keeping them shaded and having a warm, moist, grow- ing atmosphere, you can draw up your stems materially. C. W. FOSCINa LTLIXTM SPECIOSUM. I have on hand 100 bulbs of Lilium speciosum roseum and rubrum. I do not know if they are cold storage stock or not, as I have never forced any of this kind of lilies. I would like to know how to treat them to get them to bloom this winter. J. P. C. — S. C. There are no fresh bulbs of either speciosum or auratum lilies coming this season from Japan and you probably have cold storage stock, although some home-grown bulbs are procurable. It is late now to start speciosum for winter blooming. If started in August it can be flowered for Christmas, If potted and started now it should be placed in a moderately cool house, kept at 45 de- grees to 50 degrees at night. Later the night temperature should not go above 55 degrees, as speciosums will not stand hard forcing like giganteums or longiflorums. It will be spring before your plants will flower if started now. There is no special diflSculty in forcing cold storage speciosums, but care must be taken to water moderately until the pots are well filled with roots. C. W. CANDIDUM FOS EASTES. Please tell me how to handle candi- dum lilies so as to have them in time for Easter. J. C— N. Y. Keep your plants in a coldframe un- til the first week in January. If you pack leaves between the pots, it will prevent them from being broken by the action of frost. Expose the plants to some frost before housing them. Start them in a temperature of 45 to 50 de- grees and never give them more than 55 degrees at night) if you want flowers of good size and substance. Keep a sharp lookout for green aphis; a weekly fumigation will keep your plants clean. Your plants may need some moving around to time them exactly, but it wiS pay to go to this trouble, as lilies will be scarce next Easter and are sure to command high prices. Eemember that you cannot force candidum as you would longiflorum. With warm treatment the flowers will be only half the size of those grown cooler and they will be lacking in substance besides. C. W. CALLAS DAMPING OFF. On account of the scarcity of bulbs this season, we planted a double supply of callas. Our plants are beginning to bloom and are strong and healthy look- ing, but are damping off so badly that it is necessary to throw some of them away daUy. We planted one or two bulbs in 7-lnch and 8-inch pots. We thought the trouble was due to too much water, so gave them less, but there was no improvement. The temperature is not too high, as we have not had the steam on for winter as yet. We have given the plants a dressing of bone meal, spaced them apart and tried every- thing we can think of, but without suc- cess. Any suggestions will be followed. J. U. M. — Miss. I am inclined to think that the bulbs of your callas may not have been sound, even though they appeared so when potted. Calla bulbs partially diseased will throw up strong growths and some- times later will act as yours have done. Your cultural treatment seems to have been all right. Callas like a good sup- ply of water and, given good drainage and pots full of active roots, there is little likelihood of their being over- watered. Do not give too heavy top- dressings of bone meal. For a 7-inch or 8-inch pot, two tablespoonfuls once a fortnight will suffice at this season. An overdose would help to cause damping off and must be guarded against. A night temperature of 55 degrees suits callas to a nicety and if the pots can be stood in single rows around the side of a house where they can get lots of sun, danger of damping off should be ma- terially lessened. 0. W. THE RETAIL FLORIST rffiTfiffrsfffrsfiffTTifrrtiFtiitT^ffnfrrt^^^ INCREASING BUSINESS. Undoubtedly the most interesting in- formation secured by the questionnaires sent to the members of the F. T. D. in advance of the meeting of the associa- tion in Cleveland October 8 and 9 by Secretary Pochelon were the figures showing the amount of incoming and outgoing telegraph delivery orders han- dled by some of the prominent firms. The figures they submitted covered a year's telegraph delivery business and are as follows: BRBITMETBR'S SONS, DETROIT, Orders sent 1,526 Aggregating $ 6,246.00 Orders received 1,046 Aggregating 4,901.00 JOY & SONS.

Aggregating.... 1,486.00 An analysis of the figures will show the extent to which the telegraph de- livery business has grown since the F. T. D. was organized ten years ago. However, the retailers of the country now appreciate what the telegraph busi- ness means to them and more and more are going after orders of this kind. There are now 419 fiorists in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and the Hawaiian Islands represented in the Pink Part of The Review. This is a growth of twenty-six during the last month and more are coming in each week. When, as is shown by the figures quoted above, a concern can add from $3,000 to $25,000 per year to its gross business by getting after the telegraph delivery business, it is worth while to do so. FOK A MORMON FUNERAL. The death recently of Joseph Fielding Smith, president of the Church of Lat- ter Day Saints, commonly called the Mormon church, called on the florists of Salt Lake City to furnish many elaborate funeral pieces. Among them was the huge wreath shown in the ac- companying illustration. It was ordered by telegraph by an eastern florist and was made by the Bailey & Sons Co., Salt Lake City. The wreath was six feet high. INDIANA ASSOCIATION. December Meeting. The December meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana was held December 3 at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis.

Anyone in or out of the state having a new dissemination is cor- dially invited to exhibit at this time. Introductions will be given careful con- sideration and judgment by competent judges and publicity by the various trade papers. President Bertermann ap- pointed the following committee to take charge of the floral display: John Hartje, William Roepke and Herman Piel. Anyone desiring to exhibit can make shipments to any member of the committee, President Bertermann or A. F. i. Baur. As this was the last meeting in 1918, an auditing committee comprising the following was appointed: E. E. Tem- perley, William Roepke and Mr. Lewis. The matter. of increasing the dues was laid over until the next meeting. The question of establishing an ex- periment station at Purdue University was reopened. President Bertermann saw no reason why Indiana should not be benefited as other states have been by such courses in Cornell University, the University of Illinois, Amherst, etc. Professor Lummell, of Purdue Univer- sity, believes it possible to establish such a course at Purdue, but thinks the heads of the school must be educated up to the need of such a course and the governor and state legislature im- pressed with its importance if anything really worth while is to be accomplished. Professor Lummell said that he was himself wholly in sympathy with the project and he could speak also for Professor Greene, director-in-chief of agriculture at Purdue. An incident showing how some of the other heads were being converted to this line of thinking was related by the professor. Three years ago enthusiasm had been worked up by some of the faculty for a chrysanthemum show. It being a rule that the college be closed on Sunday, it was necessary to obtain permission from the dean to exhibit the blooms that day. Although not fully approving, the dean could not withstand the pleading of the interested parties, and finally allowed them to keep , open the conservatories. The show was a great success and received merited publicity by the various newspapers throughout the state. The following year another, larger show was given. Last fall, owing to greater activities along other lines, it was decided not to exhibit. This was discussed with the dean, who acquiesced and suggested that when the large blooms were open an item be inserted in the paper to let everyone know that the school was open to visitors. It is Professor Lum- mell's idea that if one neutral man can be made to see the value of this work to the university, others can be made to see it and an adequate appro- priation obtained through the efforts of the State Florists' Association of Indiana. Secretary Steinkamp brought up for approval the staging of a chrysanthe- mum show in November, 1919. The desire was also voiced to have the Chrysanthemum Society join with the state association in this meeting. By that time all our boys now in the serv- ice would have returned and a jollifica- tion on a larger scale could be held to express gratitude to and appreciation of these boys who have fought our battles for us. Mr. Steinkamp 's sug- gestion was unanimously carried. Pres- ident Bertermann appointed the follow- ing committee to work up this project: O. E. Steinkamp, Joseph Hill, Glen Moore, Fred Dorner, Professor Greene, Professor Lummell and Irwin Berter- mann. E. E.

A victory and peace Christmas can- not fail to boom the sale of the florists' products. In 1917, with our country at war, trade was surprisingly good, but everything points this year to a brisk demand, better prices and a bumper holiday business. Growers have suf- fered from trade stagnation and un- profitable prices for a considerable time. Those who had courage to plant as usual are feeling happy now, as prices this fall have rarely been equaled, and it is a satisfaction to see the grow- ers coming into their own. The bogy of fuel shortage is less acute. We have had a comparatively mild season up to the early days of December, which has helped to conserve fuel, and it is hardly likely that we shall have so severe a winter as a year ago. Everything con- sidered, there is much cause for thank- fulness, and the feeling of optimism now prevailing is bound to be justified. Wrapping Plants. It may seem hackneyed advice, but it will bear repeating, to say that Christ- mas may be mild, but more probably will be severely cold and everyone handling plants must provide an abund- ance of newspapers and other wrapping material. The cost of paper is higher than a year ago, but it would be poor policy for anyone to endeavor to econo- mize on wrapping paper. Selling a plant is not difficult as a rule, but packing it up properly and delivering it free from frost is an entirely different proposition. Be sure to wrap all orders up thoroughly and do not forget that it is just as im- portant to keep the roots warm as the shoots, so be sure to protect the pots well. Use tissue paper or cotton wool for gardenias, orchids, valley and other choice flowering plants, not only to pre- vent bruising, but to give additional warmth. Cyclamens. The most popular Christmas plant this year seems to be the cyclamen. It will have little competition from azaleas as compared with the past, and it is the most satisfactory flowering plant for the average home. Its foliage is tough, \ its flowers possess much substance and do not fall off like those of begonias or geraniums, and with moderate care it will flower for weeks, if not months. I have heard the remark made at stores that it did not pay to sell flowering plants which flowered a long time, as it tends to limit purchases, but is not a cus- tomer who has secured such a plant more likely to come again than one whose purchase goes to pieces within a few days? Keep the cyclamens in a light position in the store. The flowers will soon draw up and become leggy if kept in a dark place. They do not require • much heat and" are better at 40 degrees than at 60 degrees, provided they are not in a draft. Do not worry if white and light colors do not sell like reds and deep pinks; there is a market for cyclamens for many weeks after Christ- mas. Begonias. Begonias will not stand up in store or home like cyclamens, but they have always a big sale, as they carry such a profusion of flowers. Lorraine at one time had the field to itself. It still sells well, but Glory of Cincinnati has proved itself a superior variety and for some years has sold more heavily than any other begonia. For one thing, it is a much better house plant than Lorraine. The supremacy of Cincinnati is soon to pass, however, to Melior, which makes a more shapely plant than Cincinnati and is of a better color. Mrs. Peterson, with its bronze-like foliage and darker flow- ers, will sell in increased numbers this season. Gloire de Chatelaine is an all- the-year-around bloomer of simple cul- ture and will bloom longer in the home than any of the Christmas begonias. Any grower can handle it and it can be sold profitably at a lower price than other sorts named. The rich, large-flowered English types of winter-flowering begonias are not commercial propositions yet on a large scale, but they are coming into favor rapidly and, once their culture is better understood, they will come into prom- inence rapidly. They can easily be sold at prices far ahead of all other begonias. Some day we shall get a scarlet begonia of the Melior type. There is a fortune in prospect for the grower who pro- duces it. Azaleas. Azaleas will be conspicuous by their rarity this Christmas. There will be some left-overs from previous years, car- ried along by wide-awake growers, who will make good money on them this year. Anyone with a batch of Mme. Petrick in flower is to be envied. It is certain that all azaleas offered will be eagerly bought up. Unless our ento- mological experts fail in their efforts to exclude all nursery stock with soil at- tached to their roots, azaleas are likely to be more of a memory than anything else in future years, and, by the way, will not these same entomologists be out of a job, some of them, at least, if they succeed in placing their law on the statute books? Azaleas and all hard- wooded plants with fine, hairlike roots must never be allowed to suffer from dryness. It will mean at least a loss of Deckmbeu 12, 1918. The Florists^ Review 21 all Christmas It is not so flowers and sometimes death to the plants, in addition, so be sure that you iiurefully watch such plants, and if, wlien you tap the ])()ts with the knuckles, there is a clear, bell-like rinj^, soak the pots in a pail of water. Poinsettias. The most brilliant of flowers is the poinsettia. easy to grow as some other plants for the holiday season, and, being more sus- ceptible to cold than almost any other ])lant, it needs careful wrapping when the temperature is low. It is dangerous to move poinsettias from a warm to a cool house. Let the temperatures be reduced gradually or j-ou are sure to lose a good deal of foliage and a poinsettia minus leaves reminds one of a Scotch- man with attenuated kilts; neither is attractive. Probably poinsettias will sell sluggishly if the weather chances to be severe at the holidays. People fight shy of them when we have such climatic conditions. So if you seem likely to be long on plants, cut off and sell the stalks, but do not fail to sear the cuts either with boiling water or hot cinders to stop the bleeding, or the bracts are sure to flop. It is best to wrap some soft paper around the foliage of each stalk and merely leave part of the bract exjioscd before placing in water, and do not place them in as low a tempera- ture as you would cut carnations, roses or mums. I find they keep best when the thermometer holds about 50 degrees. Berried Plants. We are not dependent on European importations for our small berried plants for Christmas, although we shall miss the handsome English hollies, aucubas and skimmias of other years and these latter we cannot produce at home. How- ever, we shall have an abundance of berried solanums, or Jerusalem cherries, which are of the easiest possible cul- ture and rarely fail to fruit abundantly. This plant appeals to the buyer of mod- erate means and makes a bright and at- tractive Christmas plant.. You need not worry about your solanums, even if they should be exposed to a little frost, as it will not harm them. Then, for those with larger purses, we have the ardisias, and what wonderful keepers they arel Their foliage and berries both, even under careless treatment, will persist for months. Otaheite oranges with rijie fruit make a splendid holiday plant and if, as occasionally ha])pens, the idants at the same time have one or two llowers open, it enhances their value, for who can resist the delightful odor of orringo blossoms? All the fruiting plants will keep well in a temperature just clear of freezing. Primulas. The primula familv is one of impor- tance at Christmas.' We have three I'rincipal varieties, P. chinensis, P. ob 'omca and P. malacoides. The Chinese 1-rimroses drop their flowers more easily than obconica and malacoides, are brit- tle and for that reason are j)racticallv '" the discard.

Other Christmas orchids are but few; some late Cattleya labiata and a fair lot of the smaller-flowered but showy G. Percivaliana are practically all we shall have in the way of plants from the orchid family. Ooloxed-Leayed Plants. Colored-leaved plants in mixture make handsome combinations, or they lock well associated with ardisias. Such plants as crotons, pandanus, draceanas and marantas, with various ferns, are salable either separately or associated in baskets or other receptacles, and of these we have, fortunately, a good sup- ply. A mixture of the brilliant-colored crotons alone is fine. There are some who do not like colored-leaved plants, but to many of equally good taste the baaatifal iui mxiatioBs md ^faades win prove aa attzaetiTe as flowers. There will be little in the way of flowering-plant novelties for Christmas. At Easter we can look for some new roses or shrubs at least, but the num- ber of midwinter plants is more re- stricted. Some chrysanthemums will still be obtainable, also geraniums, but bulbous flowers, apart from Paper Whites, will be extremely few. There will be some pink spiraeas from cold storage and some white marguerites. To those who want lilies, but will not be able to obtain them, nicely flowered pots of callas, especially Oodfrey, should appeal. Pots and pans of fragrant freesias will be more numerous than a year ago and will make up in some measure for the scarcity of valldy. ^9J:lyv:^^v:ly%lV^f^v.)}^lv.v!^iV^9JJl^^^^^^^ SEASONABLE j^ SUGGESTIONS PAPER WHITE ^H'ASCISSI. It is evident that flowers will be scarce and dear the coming Christmas and it behooves the small country grow- er to produce all the flowers he can at home. Paper White narcissi are among the indispensables. They are of easy culture and can be flowered over a long season. Be sure to have a good-sized batch coming along for Christmas. White is not a Christmas color, but the Paper Whites are a necessity in bou- quets and for all design work. If you have an ample supply of bulbs, why not plant some in bowls containing a few stones? They will make accept- able Christmas presents and can be sold at comparatively low prices. If you grow your Paper Whites in flats, it is a simple matter to advance or retard them.

A Chicago newspaper sketches in brief detail the life of Peter Reinberg, recently reelected president of the Board of County Commissioners of Cook county, in which Chicago is located, re- calling the days of his boyhood labors as a salesman of garden truck, when he was up with the sun and worked till all hours of the night. Mr. Reinberg 's father's establishment was on the site of his own greenhouses, at Robey street and Foster avenue. After the youth had been a truck gardener for himself for some time he built three greenhouses for lettuce and cucumbers. He saw the commercial future of flowers and made additions to his range for the floricul- tural branch. He continued to add to his range for a matter of twenty years, until he had glass covering more than twenty-five acres. By this time lettuce and cucumbers had made way for roses and carnations and at one time Mr. Reinberg was the happy possessor of 125,000 American Beauties. A rose which he originated was named Mrs. Marshall Field. The paragrapher con- cludes his little skit by remarking: "You have heard of pothouse politi- cians, but of only one hothouse poli- tician. He is Peter Reinberg, recently reelected president of the County Board."

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES LETTUCES. Now that we are approaching the shortest days, with a minimum of sun- light, lettuces need careful attention. It is true that they can be grown in a low temperature, but such lettuces are tough and not to be compared with those produced in a night temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. The writer prefers 46 to 48 degrees for a midwinter mini- mum. Avoid a too close atmosphere, even on cold days. Give the plants some ventilation, unless the temperature is abnormally low. It is especially neces- sary not to keep ventilators closed for too long ,_periods when we have long spells of sunless weather, often accom- panied by snow. Any moisture in the hearts of the plants is liable to cause rot during such periods, but if heating pipes raise the temperature to 55 de- grees, be sure to ventilate. Another point to guard against is sun-scald on the edges of the leaves. This is most likely to occur where let- tuces are grown cold and a clear, sunny day follows several dark ones. If the house is left closed too long, trouble is bound to develop. It does occur in even the largest and most modern houses, more particularly on that finest of all forcing head lettuces, May King, but the avoiding of extremes of temperature and careful ventilation will prevent it for the most part. "Watering is a neces- sary evil, especially at this season. Be sure to do it early in the day and when the skies are clear. Usually a soaking at planting time suffices for a lettuce crop, provided the soil is deep and con- tains plenty of humus. In raised benches more water is a necessity. Continue to make sowings of seed. It will be found best not to cover the seed with any loam whatever. A light dusting of fine coal ashes, I find, makes an ideal covering and prevents damp- ing off. It is just as good for tomatoes as lettuces. There has been an im- proved demand for Cos or Bomaine let- tuce in the big markets and prices on these have been better than for the cab- bage or tennis ball type of lettuces. Paris "White Cos and Trianon have each done well under glass. BHUBABB. "Where rhubarb roots were dug up be- fore freezing weather occurred and stored in a shed or cellar, it is a good plan to start a batch of roots now. They are best if grown where it is tolerably dark. The stalks then take on the pleas- ing pink color we see in winter. Small lots may be forced below a greenhouse bench or a space c^n be partitioned off in a cellar, the warmer the better. Boots should be covered with loam and soaked with water. Then keep them as dark as possible. AfiPABAOUS. I Like rfaxibarb, asparagus can be suc- ttest^nlly ^oxced below the bench of a watfli^eenhouse. Spread the roots out ^a7~M4, cover them with loam. The ■p\ttH^ifiMxt into growth quickly and it is possible to cut the stalks in ten to sixteen days, according to the season. Where a special mushroom house or cel- lar exists it will prove ideal for forcing rhubarb, asparagus, seakale and "Witloof chicory, all of which are better if grown in the dark during the winter. None of these roots are of any value to save after forcing, but as all are easily pro- duced from seed this need. not act as any deterrent to their being forced. TOMATOES. Tomatoes proved to be a well paying crop this fall in spite of the fact that more florists grew houses of them than ever before. These plants are now just finishing. I have never found midwinter tomatoes a profitable crop. To succeed well they need a temperature of 60 de- grees at night, a somewhat restricted root run, a dry atmosphere and artificial pollination. I remember that nearly thirty years ago midwinter tomatoes wholesaled from $1 to $2 per pound and they sold as high as $2.50 in the late 80 's, but we do not get any such prices nowadays. The small or medium-fruited sorts are the only ones adaptable for winter forcing. Of these there are a number of sorts, including Comet, Car- ter's Sunrise, Lister's Prolific, Stirling Castle and others. Any of these are also suitable for sowing now for a spring crop, a period when tomatoes realize better prices than in midwinter and when they are much more cheaply pro- duced. CAUUFLOWEBS. There is no better forcing cauliflower than Kronk's Forcing Erfurt. It can be planted twelve by fifteen inches apart in the beds or benches. Cauli- flowers like a rich soil and when in active growth an abundant water sup- ply. Seed should be started now for a spring crop. They should be pricked off into flats when they have made their second leaves and should be dug out with a nice ball before they become too crowded in the flats. If, perchance, you have no bed at your disposal when they need removing from the flats, put them in 31^-inch pots for a short time. B© sure not to allow them to get matted with roots before benching, or they are- sure to make small, button-like heads. HeBderson, Ky. — W. O.

"Where large plants of begonias of the Lorraine type are wanted for next year the cuttings should be started now. Select medium-sized, healthy leaves, leaving about an inch of stem, and in- sert in the sand, leaving lots of space between the leaves. Large leaves may be subdivided, the same as the leaves of the Bex begonias, but the result is not always satisfactory, as many of them damp off. They can be split up the stem, thus making two cuttings out of one leaf, with better results. Where only a limited quantity is grown for home sales, the cuttings are better put in flats or pans, so that they can be moved as required. The night tempera- ture should be kept not less than 60 de- grees. Though the cuttings will root in about three weeks, it is well to leave them in the sand some time longer be- fore potting them off in a light mixture of soil, sand and leaf -mold. A little care is needed in watering after they are rooted to prevent the leaves damping off, before the cuttings begin to stool out from the bottom. These plants re- quire a great deal of care here in the south during the summer months to get nice plants that will sell at the holi- day season. With careful watering, shading, frequent stirring of the sur- face soil and keeping the foliage dry, good plants may be grown, though not always of a certainty. I believe there are many other holiday plants that will give better returns, but well grown be- gonias are attractive to the better class of buyers. L. BOSES IN THE SOUTH. Propagating roses seems to be a branch of business that is neglected by many growers, who depend on buying their young plants each year instead of growing them on their own places. There is no difficulty in rooting them during the late fall and winter months. Clean sand, firmly packed on a clean table in a house that can be kept at a regular rose temperature of 56 to 60 degrees at night, is the groundwork of success. It is not at all necessary to have bottom heat, although it may be a big help. What is more important is that the cuttings be absolutely healthy, with no trace of black spot or other fungoid disease. When these are pres- ent the cuttings are almost sure to drop their foliage and become nearly worth- less. Two-eyed cuttings from flower- ing wood or heel cuttings from selected blind wood both make excellent plants, with little to choose between them. Give them lots of room in the bed, spray each fine day and give enough water to keep them fresh and plump. Shade dur- ing the day and maintain a buoyant atmosphere by correct ventilation and in about thirty days they should be rooted enough to pot. The hybrid teas that show a tendency to sleep during January should be put in the sand first. They root much more readily now than later. . ^' -Ji, - ' L. i-vV/^;: -I'- ^- r- Dbcembkb 12, 1918.

It is with regret that we report the death of Harry E. Guerinot, formerly of George T. Boucher's force, Rochester, N. Y. Private Guerinot was one of the. first boys to be sent away from Roch- ester and was in training at Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. C. It was after strenuous training that he under- went a series of three operations and received an honorable discharge. He enlisted again at a later date and after a short sickness of pneumonia passed away in Pittsburgh, Pa., a few days ago, at the age of 27 years. He was a member of Rochester Council, Knights of Columbus. Besides his parents, he is survived by two brothers, Dr. A. J. Guerinot and Dr. George W. Guerinot. He was given a military funeral and George E. Schlicht. interment was in Holy Sepulcher ceme- tery. H. J. H. Oeorge Schlicht Beaches France. George Schlicht, for ten years em- ployed by the William Scott Co., Buffalo, N. Y., is now in France with the American Expeditionary Forces. Mr. Schlicht joined the army March 26 last and trained at Camp Dix, N. J. His regiment sailed for France sometime in June. Mr. Schlicht had charge of the cemetery work for the Scott company. Sergeant I. F. Matson. Samuel Matson, of Newport, R. I., has received a letter from his son, I. F. Matson, telling of his promotion to the office of sergeant in the Oriental detail of the Twenty-first Field Artillery, now in France. Young Mr. Matson enlisted one week after the United States en- tered the war, going overseas in March, 1918. Soon after arriving in France he went to a radio school, where he re- mained a few months, later taking charge of the wireless at headquarters. While at the headquarters. Sergeant Matson had some thrilling experiences. Once while communicating with an air- plane, shells fell all around him, and with one extra loud crash his set went dead. A shell had struck the pole sup- porting one end of the aerial, carrying it away, and the wires were cut by pieces of the flying steel. He had it fixed up in a short time, however, and went on with his work. Before joining the colors he was in the employ of Gib- son Bros., Newport, R. I., but at the time of his enlistment he was employed by Charles Uttley, artist florist of Harris- burg, Pa. W. H. M. Pittsburgh Patriots. Reports received by Pittsburgh flo- rists of relatives and employees in the service overseas and in camp and muni- tion work include many names. A gold star on the service flag now stands for Lieutenant Benjamin Detchon, a neph- ew of J. W. and B. L. Elliott, who is reported killed in action. Other mem- bers of the same family in the honor roll are young Barton W. Elliott, who is in a hospital in France, and Rhea F. El- liott, who has returned from the Officers' Training Camp at Camp Lee; a fourth member of this patriotic family is Thomas McKee Elliott, a brother of Benjamin and Barton, who is returning from Camp Joseph E. Johnson, Fla. Peter Matsukes, who left his work as manager of the P. R. R. flower shop at East Liberty station to engage in muni- tion work, later enlisting in the motor corps, has returned to his accustomed pursuits and opened a flower shop in the Henry W. Oliver building, Pitts- burgh. Ralph F. Pinner, of the Ambulance Corps, who has just left a hospital in France; A. C. Stowes, recently commis- sioned sergeant at Camp Jackson, S. C, and E. Clarke Stiles, now in France and lately promoted to the office of second lieutenant, are other Pittsburgh boys in the trade who are expected home soon. Patterson Promoted. One of the first young men to be taken to Camp Grant, 111., by the draft was Kellogg M. Patterson, formerly connected with The Review. Mr. Pat- terson went to the camp as a private, but it was not long before he was a first sergeant. This got him a chance at the officers' training camp, from which he emerged a' second lieutenant, assigned to the depot brigade, which is composed of the raw recruits. Some months since Lieutenant Patterson was sent to Jef- ferson Barracks, Mo., and more recently was transferred to Camp Pike, Ark. In- cidentally he was promoted to a first lieutenancy. A recent letter from Lieu- tenant Patterson says: "John Poehl- mann, Jr., is down here some place and August Poehlmann 's son is in the train- ing camp here. H. V. Swenson came down here, but was sent to Camp Mac- Arthur, Waco, Tex. There seems to be no hope of getting across from this camp, but we are all hoping some luck will hit this way and give us a chance to get across. The weather is great here and it makes up for the heat we had last summer, when we certainly missed old Lake Michigan. There are some fine florists' stores here, Tipton & Hurst having a mighty attractive place." Eittannlng, Pa.— Under the name of Chula Vista Floral Co., James E. Schreekengost and E.

In these days of reconstruction I would like to suggest the use of air- planes in getting out shipments of flow- ers to the big markets in record time. Flower shipments at the holidays are valuable and perishable, but not heavy. Flowers worth $1,000 could easily be rushed into Chicago in an airplane in less time than otherwise. In the case of places where transportation facilities are not adequate, airplanes would be a great help. Harry A. Dubuis. HOLIDAT PSIOES. Prospects for Christmas look rosy to me if I can only get all the stock I need and prices are not inflated too much. If they are it will only hurt the trade, instead of boosting it. We want more flower buyers. Keep the prices so that there will be only a legitimate profit and we can make more customers — the more, the merrier. I would sooner make my money out of a thousand customers than out of a few, even if I did the same amount of business. Pub- licity is what I want, and the more customers I have, the more I get talked about; and that means more business. There is a great future for the live florists if they will only pull together and fill every order they get, large or small. They mean more orders later, if they are filled satisfactorily. A satis- fied customer is the florist's best asset. A happy Christmas to all. A. B. King. CHAYOTE. I am trying out a vine new to most florists. Last spring I saw chayote vine seeds advertised at 30 cents each. I sent for one and planted it according to directions. Later I shifted it into a 50-pound tub and when it commenced to send out shoots I built a trellis six feet high and three feet wide at the top for it. It soon covered the trellis with vines and then I cut it back. In September it commenced to blossom and to set fruit and now I am getting 10 cents apiece for the fruit. The plant is unusually prolific. It is claimed for it that in the second year it will bear fruit by the hundred, and I believe it. I have moved the tub into the green- house and it is still setting fruit. We fried the fruit like eggplant and find it delicious. It does not taste like egg- plant and cucumbers are not in the same class with it. I do not see any bugs on the vine. Chayote is an item that is going to be a big paying propo- sition for the greenhousemen. Once eaten, it will always be wanted. It is a food for the epicure. H. W. Peterson. UNDERSELLING NOT POPULAR. We have had a great deal of funeral work in the last two months, but other business does not amount to much. We think The Eeview is doing a good work in urging the florists to increase the pricesj or flowers. How can a retailer make anything when one of the largest flower stores in a nearby city sends out circular matter for Thanksgiving ad- vertising choice carnations at $1.50 per dozen, while wholesalers in the same place are asking the florists $8 and $10 per hundred for the same flowers the same day! We have also to pay express on shipments, stand breakage, pay pack- ing charges, put the flowers in a cut- flower box, with ferns and wax paper, and deliver them, after procuring the stock in the first place. Another trouble is the competition of the department stores. The 5 and 10- cent stores are selling Paper White narcissus bulbs of good size at two for 5 cents. We have to pay 2 cents for them and then do the handling, wrap- ping, etc., on a margin of 6 cents a dozen. We hope you will keep after the florists who are always trying to under- sell their competitors, not considering whether or not they make anything. Charles H. Gelven. TR0X7BLES OF SMALL GROWERS. We are at the end of the mum season and prices have been good, the demand having been excellent because of the number of deaths from influenza and the consequent call for funeral work. We have had much trouble with red spider on Seidewitz chrysanthemums. I was taken unawares, as I had never seen red spider to know it before. How- ever, I am aware now that we had them for several years and did not know it. We lost some plants several seasons ago and blamed the spraying with nico- tine, which apparently burned them. This year I quit the nicotine when the buds showed, but the same trouble ap- peared. Then I discovered the spider. We commenced to spray with water, but it did little good. Seeing that the plants would be destroyed anyway, we began using Black Leaf 40, one tea- spoonful to one gallon of water, direct- ly on the half open blooms. While it did not kill all the spiders, it seemed to check them somewhat. The only variety badly affected was Seidewitz. Marigold and Bonnaffon were in the same house, but were troubled little. Is Seide- witz more troubled with spider than other varieties? What is the best meth-- od of keeping them away, or destroying them after they are present? Our plants also have been troubled with what I believe is called aster * * yellows. ' ' -The buds come damaged and do not develop into good blooms. In one lot, started early in the greenhouse, nearly three-fourths were lost, running into several thousand flowers. The later ones were not so much affected, but we lost nearly one-half our crop during the season. I have r«ad in The Eeview at some time that greenhouse- grown are more affected than outdopr- grown plants, and it seems so in our case. What is the trouble and what can we do to remedy itf What are the best white and yellow mums to come in with Seidewitz? I am planning to grow some early mums outdoors next year. This is my plan: I have several hotbeds, heated by hot water. I use these in the spring for vegetable plants and for flowers. I plan to fill them with mums and when they are coming into bud put up a tem- porary frame three feet high, or less, and use the regular sashes to cover, then to close the sides with muslin when cold weather comes and heat if neces- sary. I think Bonnaffon, Chieftain, White Chieftain and some other early dwarf varieties would grow well this way. Chrysolora with the crown bud dis- carded and the terminal bud taken was grand with me, but with the crown bud left they were almost worthless. E.

Ammann, president-elect of the Society of Ameri- can Florists, that, as the January meet- ing of the American Carnation Society in Cleveland would be the first national assemblage of florists after the cessation of hostilities, it would be an excellent plan to make it an occasion for the gen- eral expression of joy throughout the trade. This is a capital idea, into the spirit of which every red-blooded trade- member will enter heartily. Sixth City florists are a unit for it and already are making preparations in their well- known enthusiastic manner for a record- breaking gathering. Although carnations have been de- cidedly low in production during Octo- ber and November, due to late benching and the enforced conservation of fuel, there is now a general awakening, evi- denced in quality as well as quantity, and there is reasonable certainty that the stock will be in prime condition for showing by the latter part of January. Undoubtedly, express service will be bad, as at present, but the society has evolved a plan that will offset effect- ively this unfavorable condition. Pre- vailing higher prices will prove no detri- ment, but will serve to enliven the interest of growers and increase their desire to exhibit. And as the better values can best be maintained by offer- ing the public a distinctly high grade of flowers, perhaps never before were introductions of superior merit more worthy of earnest consideration. The war, with its multitudinous priva- tions, is over and a new business era is dawning.

Because of a short supply, the market has shown great strength for a week or more. With the chrysanthemum supply lessening daily, there does not appear to be sufficient stock in other lines to fill the gap now painfully apparent. Al- ready demand and supply are on equal footing and it is evident that any in- crease in the demand will result in a shortage of stock, which may continue throughout the season. Prospects, there- fore, for a plentiful supply of flowers at Christmas are slim. It is said that plant growers have anticipated an un- usual demand for plants this Christmas, due to a scant supply of cut flowers, and have depended less upon Easter prospects, preferring to use up their coal supply in the main for the earlier possibility. With the fuel restrictions now withdrawn, there will surely be no shortage of plants for Easter, as plenty of quick-maturing stock is available for growing on, and Easter is more than four months away, occurring in 1919 as late as April 20. American Beauty roses in the special grades have declined a little in price since Thanksgiving, the finest now bringing $60. The quality in all grades is good^ and arrivals are heavy enough for the demand. Other roses are plenti- ful, but move well with little effort. The reds seem to be in greatest request, and command higher figures than the others. Carnations are in better supply, but arrivals still are light. Some fancy stock of the variety Mrs. C. W. Ward brings as high as 10 cents. Flowers from late-planted stock are short in stem, but they clean up nicely at sub- stantial prices. Gardenias are in better supply and the best grade brings $9 per dozen. Cattleyas are in good supply and prices are mounting, $1.25 per flower now being asked for the best. Cypripediums bring $1.50 per dozen, for the ordinary insigne variety, but the newer variety, San- derae, is in greatest demand and moves easily at $2; it is being used largely in corsage bouquets. Lilies are plentiful and, with the or- dinary demand for them, are likely to remain so; it is understood that there are some large stocks of bulbs in cold storage. Lily of the valley remains scarce and its quality poor. Violets are shorter in supply than in previous seasons, consequently prices re- main above the average. Good specials bring $1.50 per bunch. Many of the growers in the violet section have gone out of business, which accounts for the lighter supply. Chrysanthemums are still in evidence m all grades, but arrivals are light and a quick clean-up is possible. There is a good movement in a variety of other flowers in fair supply, such as calen- dulas, mignonette, stevia, bouvardia and sweet peas. Careful buyers are already trying to cover for Christmas requirements, but tnere seems little disposition on the part ot wholesalers to come down to settled prices. Tbe Nursery Stock Embargo. There was a meeting at the S. A. F. offices, 1170 Broadway, December 6, at which were represented various inter- ests affected by the nursery stock em- bargo expected to go into force shortly, to discuss the situation and consider steps which might be taken in an effort to obtain a modiflcation of the embargo. It is understood that while nothing defi- nite was arrived at, certain prelimi- naries for action were arranged. There were present: J. D. Eisele, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia; James Mc- Hutchison and C. B. Knickman, New York; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and John Watson, Princeton, N. J. Club Meeting. The December meeting of the Florists' Club was held in the Grand Opei'a House building December 9. About 175 of the more than 500 members were in at- tendance. President Charles Schenck occupied the chair and, as it was elec- tion night, the proceedings were made as brief as possible, but, notwithstand- ing, the hour of adjournment was late. Three visitors were formally intro- duced: Z. D. Blackistone, president of the Florists ' Club of Washington, D. C. ; B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass., and F. G. Sealey, Eutherford, N. J. C. H. Totty detailed the work of the S. A. F. committee which represented that society at the recent congress inaugurated by the United States Cham- ber of Commerce. He impressed upon all present the fact that the florists were recognized by the greater industries as being an organized trade body through their society and in consequence the committee was given authority to create a section of the congress which should include various industries more or less allied. The proceedings of the congress, he said, had been fully reported in the press, from which it could be deduced that one of the most important objects of the gathering, which included a rep- resentation of 450 industries, was a sug- gestion to be made to the government that it take its hands off general busi- ness and let general business reconstruct itself. The discussions of the florists' section were largely relative to the fuel problem, and the restrictions covering importation of plants. Of the latter Mr. Totty said that even importations of orchids are to be prohibited, the bulk of which have no soil accompanying the plants. He believes that the club should not rest satisfied with the embargo as at present proposed. President Schenck thought this a fa- vorable time to impress upon all present that it was the duty of each individual to report promptly to the secretary's office intelligence regarding movements which in any way might act to the det- riment or good of the florists' business, so that the influence of the club can be exerted in any direction deemed ad- visable. A. L. Miller reported, for the flower show committee, that at a meeting of the committee last week it was con- cluded that it would not be wise to at- tempt the staging of a spring show in 1919, for the reason that a suitable building is not available and the pos- sibility of obtaining exhibits in the competitive section is rather slim. Eesolutions on the deaths of Ralph M. Ward, Walter R. Siebrecht, Mrs. Carl Giessler, William Vescelius and William Weber were adopted. Clarence R. Ankers, Rockville Cen- ter, L. I., was elected to membership, and the following were nominated for election at the next meeting: Isadore Landsman, East Thirty-eighth street and Lenox road, Brooklyn; Simon Schneirow, 3917 King's Highway, Brooklyn; Bornatt Klugman, Brooklyn; O. J. Van Bourgondien, Arlington, N. J.; F. G. Sealey, 3056 Perry avenue, Bronx, N. Y., and R. H. C. Bard, Syracuse, N. Y. The board of trustees, which had been in session early in the afternoon, made a report recommending changes in banks carrying general checking accounts of the club, and regarding the issue of Liberty bonds for which the club had subscribed. The board also recom- mended that inasmuch as the club is financially able to support headquar- ters, or an office of administration, a sum of $30 per month be appropriated for the purpose; and it was further de- cided by the club, after accepting the recommendations in the report, that the secretary be reimbursed for his expend- itures for office accommodation during the year 1918. It was the opinion, gen- erally, that the business of the club had assumed such importance that an office of its own had become a necessity. An application for donations of flow- ers by florists to be used in connection with celebrations covering the return of our soldier boys, was discussed at con- siderable length. There appeared to be a feeling that the club members who are systematically contributing flowers to the National League for Woman 's Serv- ice, which organization is doing laudable hospital work, are doing as much as can ' be expected; and inasmuch as manu- facturers of bunting and other mate- ' rials entering into patriotic celebrations are not making contributions of their products, there is no apparent reason for sacrifice on the part of florists. A suggestion by Wallace R. Pierson, how- ever, that the club build a floral arch on the day that the return of the most active regiments is celebrated, met witli hearty approval, and if carried out we may be sure that it will be a magnificent piece of work, and prove to be a pub- licity stunt of inestimable value. Election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Philip F. Kessler; vice- president, P. W. Popp; secretary, John Young; treasurer, W. C. Eickards, Jr.; trustees, E. C. Vick, Percy B. Rigbv and A. T. De La Mare. The judge of elections was J. G. Esler; the tellers, G. E. M. Stumpp and H. Weston. The president appointed John Schee- pers, C. H. Totty and Arthur Herring- ton, a memorial committee on the death of Capt. De Lamar, of Glen Cove, L. I., a stanch supporter of the club's flower show; and John Young, J. H. Pepper and Charles Schenck, a similar commit- tee on the death of Mrs. Milliot, of Yonkers. A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., showed a vase of Chrysanthemum Golden Mistletoe, scored 86 points, pre- liminary certificate; vase of Chrysan- themum Christmas Gold, small pompon, preliminary certificate. Teaneck Greenhouses, Teaneck, N. J., staged two vases of Antirrhinum Ruth Brewster, vote of thanks. Chas. Smith & Son, Corona, N. Y., ex- hibited two vases of single chrysan- themums, sports of Godfrey, deep pink and bronze, vote of thanks. R. E. Sealey, Cedarhurst, N.

Decbmbeb 12, 1918. brought a vase of Chrysanthemum Bright View, preliminary certificate; vase of seedling single chrysanthemum, vote of thanks. Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., sent three vases of new chrysanthe- mums, which arrived in poor shape, so the awards committee expressed the hope to see the varieties again. S. Van Eiper, Dundee Lake, N. J., showed a vase of stevia, vote of thanks. Gas Masks for Growers. In view of the probable disposal of the large number of gas masks produced for war purposes by a large establish- ment in Long Island City, some of the florists are wondering whether the masks would be useful in the work of fumigation where hydrocyanic acid gas is the fumigating agent. It is known that masks have been used successfully in the fumigation of nursery stock, where the process was conducted under canvas tents, and if they could be ap- plied to use in greenhouses, they might afford a measure of safety which under present conditions does not exist and make the use of the gas more general among florists' establishments. Various Notes. C. H. Totty and John Young, presi- dent and secretary respectively of the S. A. F., returned from Atlantic . City December 5, where they attended the big congress called by the United States Chamber of Commerce to consider tlje problems of trade reconstruction after the war. They report that great en- thusiasm prevailed at the different ses- sions, and that the florists' industry re- ceived recognition as being one of no small importance. The main idea of the gathering was to represent to Con- gress that the reconstruction oi industry would be better undertaken by an or- ganization of industries than by depart- mental committees whose conception of requirements could at best be decidedly limited. John R. Andre, the well known rose grower, of Doylestown, Pa., has opened a retail store in that town, and is using the various items in the direct aid serv- ice of the national publicity campaign. The Birchland Gardens, Arthur C. Ruzicka, manager, has opened a retail flower store at 12 West Main street, Somerville, N. J. The Kervan Co., 119 West Twenty- eighth street, anticipates handling a good supply of Christmas trees for the holidays, in spite of restrictions and cur- tailments connected with quarantines and transportation. Two branch stores in their immediate location will add ma- terially to their facilities for handling; their Christmas trade in their different lines. Visitors during the week included: Z. D. Blackistone, Washington, D. C; W. J. Stewart, Boston, Mass.; J. D. Eisele, Philadelphia, Pa., and John Wat- son, Princeton, N. J. George Hildenbrand, manager of John Young & Co., is suffering from a car- buncle on his neck, but remains at his post. W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, was in town December 9. In the U. S. District court, December 2, Alexander McConnell was discharged from bankruptcy. J. H. P. HABDY SOSES. I would like to know the names of the hardiest and best varieties of monthly roses. J. P. H. — Mo. If you refer to monthly roses of the baby rambler or polyantha types, these are adaptable for bedding purposes. The following are excellent varieties: Clo- thilde Soupert, Ellen Poulsen, Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, Mrs. W. H. Cut- bush, Orleans, Catherine Zeimet and Jes- sie. The hybrid teas are persistent- flowering and fine for cutting. Here are a few of merit: Konigin Carola, Mme. Caroline Testout, Mme. Abel Chatenay, Gruss an Teplitz, Mme. Leon Pain, Lady Ashtown, Antoine Rivoire, Laurent Carle, J. L. Mock and La Tosca. C. W. PROVIDENCE. The Market. While the Thanksgiving trade accel- erated business among the florists to an appreciable and welcome extent, there had been a material increase ever since the signing of the armistice. There are a larger number of social functions be- ing held and planned and many persons who have denied themselves flowers for home or personal adornment now seem to feel that they . have been released from, their resolutions not to buy any- thing unnecessary during the period of the war and are now making lavish pur- chases. Indications at present are in favor of a big business boom during the current winter, although the growers will hardly be in a position to meet the demand. A number have closed their houses for the winter and everybody has curtailed benching, because of the shortage in help and to conserve coal. The stores continue to make splendid showings, with the last of the season's mums. These attained their best at Thanksgiving, but the local crop is prac- tically expended. Prices continue above normal, roses, including all the leading varieties, bringing $6 to $15 per hun- dred and retailing for $1.50 to $6 a dozen. Carnations are accepted as soon as brought to market at $5 to $6 per hundred, the retail price ranging from $1 to $3 per dozen. Various Notes. Willis S. Pino received a large ship- ment of Dutch bulbs last week. Alexander H. Johnson, of the Elm- wood Greenhouses, who has been in mili- tary service since the beginning of the war, has resumed his civilian duties. The Quidnick Greenhouses, Quidnick, are making a special feature of violet culture this winter. George F. Rooney, employed at the greenhouses of James B. Canning, Smith street, reported to the police that when he went into the place at 6 p. m., Decem- ber 5, he saw two men attempting to force open the safe. His appearance frightened the men away. Eugene McCarron, who was reported on the sick list, is able to be out and around again. John Johnston, of Johnston Bros., was a business visitor in Boston last week. E. J. Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & Co., reports having good bookings of orders for Christmas delivery. An attempt was made to break into the house of Louis D. Pierce, Norwood avenue, Norwood, the evening of Decem- ber 3, while the family were away. The men were frightened away by the ap- proach ofj neighbors. Andrew B. Whipple, superintendent of cemeteries of Smithfield, celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday December 4 at his home in ^eenville. Miss O'Connor, of Thayer street, has several wedding decorations for the com- ing month. The first of the Christmas greenery made its appearance last week. Many of the churches are preparing for more general decoration for the yuletide than for several years. Timothy O'Connor was in New York last week, combining business and pleas- ure. William N. Crompton, of East Green- wich, was in the city last week looking for holiday goods. According to this year's assessment just filed with the town clerk of Coven- try, the Quidnick Greenhouses are taxed at $25,000, and the estate of Joseph H. Gushing at $34,950. W. H. M. CLEVELAND, O. The Market. The last week has seen the market cleared every day. The shortage of stock has made it impossible for the wholesalers to begin to fill orders in full. Many of the retailers give the same report. Both are taking orders to be delivered when the stock to fill them is obtainable. The demand for funeral work is as big as ever. More artificial flowers are being used than ever. Some of the retailers require their trade to take half artificial and half natural flow- ers for design work. There has been practically no valley in the market for some time and many a bride has car- ried artificial valley in her bouquet, an exceptionally good article being ob- tainable. Chrysanthemums have been cleaned up entirely, but a few good pom- pons still come in. Carnations and roses are scarce, not nearly enough arriving to meet the demand. A few good callas are to be had. Easter lilies have been decidedly short. A good amount of stevia is being cleaned up daily. As- paragus and adiantum are scarce. Beau- ties and violets are short of the demand. Various Notes. L. N. Anderson, of Rocky River, has teen cutting fine stevia. The Daisy Hill Farm has sent in some of the best chrysanthemums and pom- pons seen in this market this season. Carnations and roses from this place are of the best quality. Some exceptionally fine Ophelia and Hadley have been grown by Paul Backofen there. The Friedley Co. had the honor of making the first aviation sprays sup- plied in this city, which were for the aviators from the Glen Martin Co., who dropped them on the grave of their comrade. Lieutenant Russell, who was buried recently at Lakeview cemetery. Albert Barber has severed his con- nection with the Jones-Russell Co. and has taken over the three Park Floral shops, at Cleveland, Akron and Youngs- town, O., the Jones-Russell Co. still re- taining the Taylor Flower Shop. W. F. B. Cedar Falls, la. — W. R. Reisinger says his son is planning to build a larger greenhouse than the one he is operat- ing, the new house to be used for the growing of carnations exclusively. <¥ Decehbkr 12, 1918.

Flowers are less plentiful as Christ- mas approaches and, if the present de- mand keeps up, we shall have no Christ- mas stock at all. But Christmas prices are prevailing now, as follows: Carna- tions, from $2 to $2.50 per dozen; roses, from $2 to $8 per dozen; ehrysanthe- mus, $6 to $8 per dozen; orchids, $2 each; Easter lilies, $4 to $5 per dozen; sweet peas, $3 to $5 per hundred. Some beautiful cyclamen plants are being dis- played and sell at $1.50 to $10 each. Weather conditions have been ideal for the last ten days, but there is a 100 per cent demaiid a||unst a fifty per cent supply, and it would continue so for season. Coal has never tiful. The dealers are ging the trade to buy. early" spirit has had its effect on the trade, as a great many people are plac- ing their orders and magiiolia and im- mortelle wreaths are moving rapidly. It is hoped they will be all sold before the cut flower rush. All firms here have been handicapped considerably for the last few days on account of not being able to secure any stock from out of town, and it is really astonishing to see the variety of plant baskets that are used for funerals. This is the only way the florists have been able to get orders out. Bulbs have sold unusually well this year, but the season is over. The growers are expecting to bring in a bumper crop of Paper Whites in the next three weeks. Various Notes. The Howell Nursery Co. reports busi- ness extra heavy. This firm has or- ders booked that it will be impossible to fill until next season. Messrs. Dick and Bruce Howell are doing most of the work themselves, with only a few help- ers, which makes it hard to get orders filled and delivered on time. A. H. Bailey is showing some choice primroses and cyclamens and cutting nice roses. A. J. McNutt is cutting splendid <->pheha and Russell rosea, which find ready sale. Mrs. S. C. Custer continues busy and says prospects are good for Christmas. A. A. Newson, of the Marble Citv ^ursery Co., reports business good. This nrm has a large stock of Amoor River privet. Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc., is snowing exceptionally fine carnations, ^tock of all kinds is looking well, but ousiness is so good that it is impossible to accumulate any stock at all, every- tning cleaning up each night. The con- cern has been turning out an unusual amount of funeral work, using a great many made-up plant baskets. Roy and f' ioyd Baum have been discharged from ine army and reported for duty at tne greenhouses December 9. They say Roh f^ ?^'"S *° ™^^^ things hum. •n'ooen K Mapes, who was secretary of the Knoxville Florists' Society before going into the army, is hoping to secure his discharge in the next few days. If he gets back, Baum's will have a full force on for the holidays, of experienced help. K. P. B. MEMPHIS, TENK. The days of window decorations with real cut flowers seem to be gone for a while at least. It has been impossible of late to obtain enough flowers to sup- ply the sale demand. Mr. Englard, of the Idlewild Green- houses, leaves for Chicago this week to buy Christmas stock for the store. The large range at Columbus, Miss., does not supply the normal demand of this firm and, with the extra holiday trade, it is swamped with orders. Miss Harris, of the Flower Shop, has been in Chicago for some time buying for the shop and shipping daily. Miss Erby says the only way they can get choice stock is to keep a buyer in Chi- cago all the time. The force of the Memphis Floral Co., Inc., is on the "flu" list, including the foreman, E. C. Rolf, as well as his as- sistant, C. Conklin. 0. R. H. BALTIMORE. The Market. The market is short of stock of every sort this week and the wholesale houses clean up daily. The little that was left of the chrysanthemum crop was cleaned up Thanksgiving. Roses coming to the market are of good quality and bring good prices. Some Russells sold for 18 cents, but 12 to 15 cents is the usual price. There seems to be little complaint in the trade about high prices. The florists must have the stock and are willing to pay for it. Carnations are still scarce and, like roses, are of good quality. Sweet peas are getting more plentiful and are of good quality. Violets are still scarce and few are received, as yet, from out of town. All miscellaneous stock, such as mignonette, is still scarce; in fact, there is no line of stock just now equal to the demand. From present indications it looks as though this shortage might continue through the holidays. This applies not only to cut stock, but blooming plants of all sorts. The outlook for this sort of stock has never been so unpromising as it is this season. In some places where good blooming plants were always to be had, there is nothing to offer. It seems to me the only salvation for the retail people this Christmas will be in made-up baskets of foliage plants. There are plenty of these to be had. It looks like "Hobson's choice" this year for the public, which will have to take what it can get. This year, above every other, when it seems more than certain that the flower- buying public will be disappointed in its purchases of flowers for Christmas, it behooves the retailers to bend every energy to provide something attractive, something that will catch the eye, so that they may still satisfy requirements with flowers and not resort to substi- tutes. It would seem that the florists have a much harder proposition to face this Christmas in getting the sort of stock the public has been accustomed to, which it will be sure to want this season, than they have ever had before. Yet I have never known them to fail in any emergency, and feel sure they will meet this one. Various Notes. On a recent trip out to Govanstown I stopped to see Andrew Anderson. His roses, while off crop, are certainly in fine condition and it will not be long until he will be having a fine cut. He has a fine batch of poinsettias, which will be right for Christmas. Out at Erdman & Ulrich's, the first thing that strikes one is the scarcity of blooming plants. This firm has been hard hit by the labor question. It is a most pathetic sight to see one whole range of ten houses standing idle. This range was cut out on account of the fuel restrictions, but Mr. Erdman as- sured me he was glad it was closed, for it was impossible to get sufficient labor to run the rest of the range. Someone must be putting in some hard licks, for, aside from the question of blooming plants, I have never seen their stock in better shape. The ferns especially are looking fine, as are the crotons. Mr. Erdman said if the labor question did not improve, they were thinking seri- ously of turning the entire place into ferns, and using women. An instance which will illustrate the labor situation was related by Isaac H. Moss recently to a little party of flo- rists. A stranger applied to him for work. Mr. Moss asked him the usual question, if he had had any experience in greenhouse work. His reply was, no, but some years ago he had had some experience in growing vegetables. He was a likely-looking chap, so Mr. Moss told him he would give him $3 per day. He replied he could not think of work- ing for any such wages as that, so Mr. Moss told him he would be obliged to get along without his services. One of the hardest things the growers hava to contend with is getting a reliable fireman. In many cases they are obliged to look after the fires themselves. There are located around Baltimore more war industries than near " any other large city in the east and, while these are still running full time, it should not be long before some of them will shut down — the ammunition fac- tories, at any rate. This would release a good amount of labor and help the situation. Tate. Brady, Tex. — Mrs. E. R. Behrens, on rural route No. 1, has three greenhouses and has steadily increased her business until now it occupies all her energies. Dayton, O.— Rolf Zetlitz, of Lima, O., has purchased the property of the Miami Floral Co., of R. G. Corwin, receiver for the company. Mr. " Zetlitz takes possession immediately and will over- haul and replant the place to roses. The planting will include the new Hill va- rieties, Premier and Columbia. The range will be known as the Rolf Zetlitz Greenhouses. Mr. Zetlitz now operates establishments at Lima and Ada, O.

ST. LOUIS. The Market. The demand for flowers never has been heavier than during the last few weeks. Ever since the epidemic caused the rapid rise in the death rate, the demand for funeral flowers has exceeded all previous records and now there is beginning to be, in addition to the calls for flowers for the sick and the dead, a demand for happier occasions. It is apparent that social activities are be- ginning again, after four years of al- most total cessation. The supply of stock is nowhere near so large as the trade would like it to be. While it usually is possible to supply something or other which will meet the customer's need, prices are higher than florists like to charge and it is not easy to turn out work which satisfies the florist. The prospect for Christmas is for a large demand and a supply much below normal. Baskets May Come. As a war measure the Dominion gov- ernment prohibited the importation of baskets and florists throughout Canada have been unable to obtain new stock from the United States for more than a year. The result has been that every flower store is cleaned out. Last week the government removed the import restrictions and the trade is making haste to replenish stock. Many orders have been dispatched to supply houses in the principal cities in the United States and efforts are being made to get the goods in time for the Christmas trade. After the holiday rush there will be the opportunity for the manufacturers in the United States to do a large business with the Canadian florists. Varioas Notes. George M. Geraghty, manager of the Dunlop store, is one of those who had a close call with the "flu." He was critically ill, but men of his wiry build and indomitable disposition never give up and Mr. Geraghty again is attending to business, not quite recovered, but on the road to it. "When the embargo on the importation of baskets was removed Mr. Geraghty and J. J. Higgins went to Chicago, where they spent several days last week buying supplies for the Christ- mas trade. They returned home De- cember 9. WINNIPEG, MAN. "The 'flu' started here shortly after I returned from the F. T. D. meeting in Cleveland early in October, and it is still going strong," says A. E. King, of the King Florist. " So I had to throw my coat off and work every night and day since it started, letting everything else slide. And some orders I have re- ceived were pretty good ones. ' ' Prospects for Christmas business are excellent. The only drawback appears to be the probability that there will not be enough stock to supply the demand." Sheldon, la. — O. E. Logan grows plants and flowers at his greenhouse for the local trade. The Market. It is hard to recall any previous sea- son when the wholesale cut flower mar- ket was in the condition it is at pres- ent. Since Thanksgiving day only a small supply of seasonable stock has been received, while the demand, both local and out-of-town, has been excep- tioAally heavy. Prices are high and, as all consignments that were received last week had been ordered in advance of their arrival, there was nothing left over. Many retailers, in fact, had to resort to artificial flowers to make up their orders. While there are a few mums still coming to the market, the season is about over. A few excellent flowers were received at the end of last week and sold at high prices. Carnations established a new record in price, as $15 per hundred was demanded for good stock, while splits sold for $10 per hun- dred. The few flowers that arrived were sold at sight at these prices. There are some extra fine carnations coming in now, but the supply is about half that in normal years. While roses are a little more plentiful than carnations, the prices on anything good are away up. Some fine blooms of Bussell, Ophe- lia and Columbia were seen, but the big demand cleaned up the market before noon each day. Sweet peas and violets, too, bring high prices and the supply is not adequate to the demand. Calen- dulas, stevia, Easter lilies, valley and orchids all cleaned up well during the week. Paper Whites are slow in coming and the few that have arrived brought $5 per hundred. Bomans are expected for Christmas. Greens sold well all the week. The demand is excellent for galax, smilax and asparagus. There is a good supply of wild smilax in the market. Various Notes. The florists' publicity committee held a meeting at the headquarters December 3 to consider the holiday advertising. Proofs of advertisements were presented by the local newspapers. They will be taken up for final consideration at a special meeting to be held December 10. The officers of the Florists' Club met at the home of President August H. Hummert December 5 and decided to postpone the club meeting and victory banquet until after the first of the year. The action was taken because of the ban on public meetings. The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- ciation held a meeting at the Eleven Mile House December 4. There was a fair attendance. Thanksgiving business and the prospects for Christmas were considered. The growers say that un- less bright weather continues there will be a great shortage of seasonable stock for the holidays. Oscar Ruff, of the Bergstermann Flo- ral Co., who has been at a local hospital since November 27 with the influenza, is reported to be much improved and was expected to be able to return home this week. Gus W. Grossart, Adolph G. Fehr and Henry Emunds, of Belleville, all re- port heavy orders for funeral work. All made several trips to this market last week to secure stock. Charles Young, of the C. Young & Sons Co., has returned to the store after a short illness with influenza. Walter Young is expected home to help out dur- ing the holidays. Arthur Beyer has resigned his position with Grimm & Gorly and has returned to his former home, Bochester, N. Y. Louis Geiger has taken his place. Baymond Welty now has charge of the inbound freight at the American Ex- press Co. depot. Louis Frank, recently with the Grand Leader floral department, has returned to his home in New York city. He expects to return to St. Louis when con- ditions improve. All the wholesale houses report an exceptionally large call for artificial flowers last week, due to the scarcity of flowers. Fred Ude, Jr., of Kirkwood, will not make his usual trip to Florida this winter. His two sons, Paul and Martin, are in the army and Mr. Ude will be forced to remain at home. Alexander Lurie has been appointed assistant to the director of the produc- tion division of the U. S. Food Ad- ministration in St. Louis. The American Seed Co. has completed the installation of new fixtures in the retail department of its store at 814 Broadway. The bins are being filled for the early spring business, and Man- ager Kerr expects that sales will be large. L. Baumann, who makes his headquar- ters at the Bourdet Floral Co. store, says that he has had a busy fall season with landscape work. Charles Beyer has given up his idea of closing the show house facing Grand avenue and it will be stocked with blooming plants for Christmas. The plantsmen say there will be no surplus of blooming stock for Christ- mas, as nearly all the supply is sold. This is especially so with cyclamens and poinsettias, but cherries and peppers are plentiful. Joseph Manda, South Orange, N. J., has in exchange sent a valuable collec- tion of orchids to the Missouri Botanical Garden. The Sailors* and Soldiers' Home, at Twelfth and Olive streets, was hand- somely decorated with flowers and plants last week by the florists* pub- licity committee. There were window boxes, single plants and Christmas deco- rations with the S. A. F. slogan, "Say It with Flowers," to please the eyes of the returning sailors and soldiers. The Bourdet 'Floral Co. and the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. donated the plants. J. J. B. OHIO STATE "UNIVEESITT. To those who are not fitted with the proper preparatory work for the four- year course in college, or those who have attended college but have always wished for a little more education, the Ohio State University, Columbus, O., offers an eight weeks' course which starts January 6. The course continues through Farmers' week. Farmers' week is a week filled with talks and demonstra- tions by leaders. Special courses are offered for the sons and daughters of florists in gardening, commercial flori- culture, fruit growing, soils and various allied subjects. The tuition amounts to merely the payment of several small fees for labo- ratories. It is estimated that the course should not cost a provident student over $60. Write for information to B. G.

Ham- mond Tracy, of Cedar Acres, Wenham, Mass., died December 4, after an illness of four weeks. Mr. Tracy was born in Michigan, where he lived until about twenty years ago, when he came to Mas- sachusetts to live with his sons. In the west he maintained a large dairy farm, well stocked with Jersey cattle and high-bred horses. His stallion, Modjes- ka, held a record of 2:10%. When it was the custom to offer prizes at state fairs for the best kept farm, Mr. Tracy was often the winner. During his life at Cedar Acres he was greatly interested in the gladiolus, and his perfectly kept vegetable garden was of as much interest to visitors as the gladiolus fields. Although almost 83 years old, he had always been in the best of health, this being his first illness since boyhood. He leaves two sons. G^eorge V>. Elnsmaji. A veteran grower of western Mich- igan passed away November 25 in the person of George R. Kinsman, of Mus- kegon, Mich. Mr. Kinsman was born in Elmira, N. Y., and removed to Michigan in 1856, settling at White Pigeon. In 1864 he enlisted for military service in the Civil war in the Mississippi Flotilla, at Burr Oak, Mich. He married Miss Anna Converse in 1873 and the same year the couple removed to Laketon township. His specialties were gladiolus bulbs and herbaceous plants. Mr. Kins- man was honored by election to various public offices, being well known throughout the community. He was a member of the Muskegon County Hor- ticultural Society, Muskegon Lodge No. 92 I. 0, O. F., Silica Grange of Dalton township and the Amos Steele Post of the G. A. E. He is survived by two sons and one daughter. Funeral services were held November 28 under the au- spices of the Odd Fellows and interment was at Laketon cemetery. John Henry Small. In the death of John Henry Small, which occurred at his residence in Wash- ington, D.

The growers, too, are more optimistic. The restrictions as to fuel consumption having been removed, a number who had planned to close their houses now are ready to keep them going. Chrysanthemums have passed their prime and are rapidly deteriorating in both quality and quantity. Carnations are of good quality. Potted heather and a few azaleas are in the market. Various Notes. Fred W. Wolfinger is on a hunting trip in northern Maine, making the trip there by automobile. Mrs. Wolfinger accompanied him. They expect to re- turn in about a week. Miss Jennie Eogers, a sister of S. A. Rogers, of the S. A. Rogers Co., and C. Tracy Pierson, of the same company, were married recently at East Orange. They will reside in that city. E. B. M. LmjMLgaimmi^4i^4y.Ai*AiJit^^ MOTT-LY MUSINGS ^lysffi^W'tffifrfRftJ^^ Alfred Goldring, of Cobleskill, N. Y., says: "Place me in the list of optimists who believe we are to experience one of the best seasons in our business. We worked up a good stock and then worked on our customers to see the necessity of buying it. ' ' « • * • J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N. Y., is posi- tive the love for fiowers is on the in- crease, noting that many patrons place orders for regular supplies of flowers for the table, an excellent idea which can be advocated and will be found to use up odds and ends that are not de- sired alone. • • • • A tour among the craft in Albany, Saratoga and Schenectady counties, New York, found all well pleased with Thanksgiving business. In many in- stances the returns were far ahead of former seasons. It was the general opin- ion that the various forms of publicity are bringing the reward hoped for. The slogan, "Say It with Flowers," stands out preeminently. It was noted, for example, that the evening paper of Schenectady, the Union-Star, in its issue of November 21, devoted consider- able space to a glowing editorial upon the work of the publicity movement of the S. A. F., with a strong endorse- ment of its practicability. Apparently the item in question was inspired, but at any rate it cannot have other than a beneficial effect upon the flower-loving public. If such or similar means are employed, it must materially aid the florists and seedsmen. Commenting upon this topic, E. V. B. Felthousen, of Sche^ nectady, remarked that, had he double the number of chrysanthemums, he could easily have sold all at good figures. Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, felt that could the fiorist be found with the requisite foresight and determination to "carry on," there are fortunes yet to be made in the business. • • • • H. G. Eyres, of Albany, speaking from the retailer's point of view, said the best day's work for him Tifas when he reduced overhead expenses and was able to increase sales in inverse propor- tion, finding withal that it is folly to attempt to run a store and greenhouses in a big city, where supplies can so easily be obtained. Samuel E. Hansen, of Troy, who has the office in the show- house, has contrary opinions. He does a good business at the smallest amount of expense, does not cut prices and finds favor in the eyes of all competitors. A. D. Carpenter, of Cohoes, will have a fine stock for Christmas in both flowering and foliage plants. • • • • With narcissi costing so much at first hand, the matter of profitable returns is the cause of much speculation. In fact, if any handler of French or Dutch bulbs, either seedsman or grower, comes out even this year he has cause for con- gratulation, is the opinion of A. J. Hil- ton, of Amsterdam, N. Y., who adds that by keeping up the line of succession, so to speak, next season will bring its reward. Easter will be more problem- atic than Christmas, when the best as- sortment of berried and flowering plants will be on sale and doubtless the result will equal Thanksgiving. W. M.

It is imposaible to guarantee the in- sertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions Are received BY 4 P. M. TUESDAY. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. It does not require a prophet to pre- dict a profit for the plantsmen this Christ- mas. The trouble with a considerable num- ber of florists, wholesale as well as re- tail, is that they are afraid they will do some business. Chrysanthemums never brought the trade so much money as they did this season, nor were they ever so heavily pro- duced. Those who were afraid of a glut were needlessly alarmed. With prices where they are this season the retail store men can revise their percentages; it is not necessary to double one 's money, or better, when transactions run larger or numerously. Country florists transferring orders to retailers in the larger cities should re- member that $5 does not buy as much in the big centers as it does in the small towns, especially these days. It will be well to remember that the least desirable coal will be the first to fall in price. Many a mine produces such low-grade fuel that nobody will buy it when anything else is to be had. The trade frequently has been warned in The Review that the Federal Horti- cultural Board has every intention of prohibiting plant imports after next spring. If you want to stock up, get busy. A retailer who pays 2 cents for car- nations and sells them at 50 cents a dozen has a margin of 26 cents, but when he pays 10 cents and sells at $2 per dozen, his margin is 80 cents. "Why fight high prices? Why not go with the market and put the effort on the selling end? Could it be that the oflSce at 1170 Broadway, New York city, from which Secretary Young and his staff are con- ducting the S, A, F. publicity campaign, had anything to do with President and Mrs. Wilson being showered with flowers «fhen thejr llbarded the ship for Europe? There is a shortage of pot plants of practically every kind, a shortage which, cpmpared to the demand, is the greatest in the history of the trade, A FEW months ago many florists were trying to get out of the business, but, now large numbers of people of many kinds are planning to get into the trade. One thing can be said, there is no shortage of red frieze. One wonders how all this cheap, bulky material got here in view of the embargo on many more important items from Japan, It probably will be spring before there are facilities which will permit the ex- pansion of the trade, but in the next two years The Review expects to see the florists' business grow as never before — and The Review expects to grow with the trade. It is becoming apparent that there will be great resistance to the operation of the natural laws which otherwise would result in a fall in commodity prices in general, following the end of the war. Florists need not expect cheaper costs of doing business for some little time. Numerous propagators, cut flower growers, etc., will welcome the approach- ing quarantine against the importation of plants, but on the other hand are a still greater number whose business will be disastrously affected at once — it may be possible to rebuild on other lines. Our boys in France are sending home large numbers of orders for flowers to be delivered to their relatives and friends for Christmas. In numerous cases flo- rists in the service are taking charge of the matter and are forwarding the orders through former employers. Such a one should not be long without employment when he returns, as he has an eye to business. After three months there probably will be a steady easing of conditions in the trade as supplies of stock increase, but it is improbable that the old laxity in the matter of credits ever again will come into vogue. Some florists may again be willing to take a chance when they find themselves once more with surplus stock, but the conservatives will stick to the terms of settlement established during the time of scarcity. Nurserymen are confident that all the signs point to the approach of an un- precedented sale of ornamental stock, for hardy material for the improvement of home grounds. There is none so well sit- uated as the local florist to develop, guide and profit by this demand. The florist who supplies flowering plants for summer bedding is the logical man to furnish the hardy stock. He need not grow it; there are numerous nurseries from which he can procure good stock. In the florists' trade there should be no attempt to profit by a falling labor market; quite the contrary, the effort should be to maintain or even increase present wages. In years gone by this trade has paid too little to make it at- tractive to the better class of workers. Under pressure of necessity, wages have risen until they compare favorably with what the same people can earn in any other employment. ~ To charge fair prices, avoid waste and maintain wages will make it possible eventually to attract more efficient workers than this trade has known since it passed the stage where the owner of the place did most of the work himself. BOMBABDEH lifilTH JXOWESS. When the "Pr'esi'deftt land Mrs. Wilson rp^ched the dock to take the steam- ship for Europe December 4, lines of yeowomen -"^bombarded" them with chrysanthemums and roses. Chicago and New York newspapers tOld of the bom- bardment in headlines an inch high, while evpry newspaper in the country recorded the fact. When King Albert and his queen en- tered Brussels, the Belgian capital, after an exile of more than four years, they were ^'bombarded" with flowers. When General Pershing and the first of the American Expeditionary Forces reached France, and Paris especially, they were "bombarded" with flowers. Many such incidents that happened during the war could be cited. Mo- tion pictures of si(ck, wounded and maimed prisoners being repatriated in- variably showed the people showering them with flowers. Bringing to mind the many times flow- ers have been advertised as the means of showing intense joy or heartfelt sym- pathy during the four years of the fighting will readily carry a realization of what the war did to popularize flow- ers. All of this publicity will be cashed by the trade during years to come. A LAND OFFICE BUSINESS. "Enough is as good as a feast," we learned long ago. "Too much is too much," one of our advertisers tells us. The supply will meet only a part of the demand, is stated by many of our correspondents. That is why stock ad- vertised in the Classified columns of The Review goes "like hot cakes." The grower has only to let the trade know what he has to offer and the law of supply and demand will take care of his output, as these growers have found out: Please stop ad. Too much is too much. Profit all going for return postage. — Frost & Spence, Greenyllle, C, December 6, 1018. The ad for amaryllis sold all I had this season. — H. W. Peterson, Poplar Bluffs, Mo., December 2, 1918. 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. CHICAGO. The Market. The first ten days of December prob- ably will go down in the history of the Chicago market as the most unusual ever seen here. The oldest inhabitant does not remember a time when the buyers of flowers have been so insistent and the prices so high. The condition is all the more remarkable because there are large quantities of flowers coming in and being sold each day. It may be that the supply has not been quite so large as it usually is in the first part of December, but it nevertheless repre- sents an important quantity of flowers; if the demand were not extremely good there would be an abundance of stock. Chrysanthemums were going out even before the Thanksgiving demand ar- rived and since that holiday there have been comparatively few of these flowers available, with the result that the de- mand has centered on roses and carna- tions. The supply of carnations this year is not so great as in previous sea- sons, but there nevertheless are many December 12, 1918.

Roses are fine and under any normal demand would suffice. But the demand this year is so ex- ceptional that there has been a run- away market since Thanksgiving, the buyers bidding against each other and pushing prices up day by day. The value of flowers in this market during the last week has been greater than at any recent Christmas, but the higher prices seem only to stimulate the de- mand; there is no sign of any recession, although the more thoughtful of the wholesalers fear there may be a reac- tion which will destroy some part of the recent profits. In a general way it may be said that there are not flowers enough of any kind. Because of the shortage in the items principally sought, everything else sells clean and shares in the big prices. The principal feature of the market is the unusual price for carna- tions. All last week values rose stead- ily, until at the end of the week carna- tions such as ordinarily would be well sold at 4 cents and 5 cents were bring- ing 8 to 12 cents. In the early days of this week prices have been even strong- er, with wholesalers from other markets standing ready to take any stock the Chicago wholesalers did not require for their regular customers. Eoses, too, have been selling at un- precedented prices. "While the long, fancy stock is bringing high figures, the greatest advance is in the short and medium grades; these have been selling higher than at any recent Christmas. All other flowers have shared in the demand. The market has been bare al- most continuously, in spite of receipts that would be considered large in any less active market. The orders coming to the market in- dicate that the condition is more or less general from Pittsburgh west; demand exceeds supply practically everywhere within the Chicago shipping radius. The shipping business is heavier than ever has been known at this time of year and thus far there is no sign of its be- ing checked by the high prices; the out- of-town buyers seem willing to pay any- thing that is asked and they are mak- ing it difficult for the city retailers to obtain anything with which to do busi- ness. There seems to be no possibility of anything except a short supply for Christmas. It may be that the demand will prove to be reduced by the higher prices, but the general opinion is that there are stores which can sell all the flowers available at the present rates or even better. There scarcely can be an accumulation of stock in anticipa- tion of the holiday; any grower who held stock back from a market like the present one should be examined for his sanity. Club Meeting. One of the features of the highly suc- cessful meeting of the Florists' Club December 5 was an extemporaneous ad- dress on "Business Systems and Cost Accounting," by Hodgson Jolly, an ex- pert along this line. Mr. Jolly illus- trated his talk with large charts spe- cially drafted for the florists' business.

The lecture proved both interesting and instructive, mainly to the growers. Otto H. Amling again read his paper on the cost of production of roses, which was presented at the November meeting of the club. The paper was published in The Eeview for November 14 and had been given wide attention and consid- eration, so that its second reading brought out a general discussion, the most interesting talk coming from L. B. Bohannon, president of the new Chicago Betail Florists ' Association. He empha- sized the lack of cooperation and or- ganization in the trade, including re- tailers, commission houses and growers. Philip J. Foley commented on Mr. Am- ling's heating figures, claiming the costs shown to be too high, and President Lau- tenschlager requested Mr. Foley to pre- pare a paper on this subject for the next business meeting of the club. Arthur A. Craig also read again a paper he had presented at the November meeting. In it he outlined plans to bring about a better understanding be- tween wholesalers and retailers and sug- gested a way for a committee to settle all grievances between the three branches of the trade, the main object being to do away with "red violet" business among the wholesalers. Mr. Craig 's paper was referred to the execu- tive committee for action. O. J. Friedman, chairman of the gar- den committee, reported on the success of war gardens by the children of the public schools, brought about by Presi- dent Lautenschlager and himself. It is Mr. Friedman's desire that the club carry on this work next year. At the November meeting a Victory banquet was suggested and left in the hands of the sports and pastimes com- mittee, but as no action had been taken by this committee President Lauten- sdilager appointed T. E. Waters, chair- man of the good-of-the-club committee, to handle the affair and appoint his own assistants. It was decided that the ban- quet will be held on the regular meeting night in January, 1919, which falls on Thursday, January 9. Before the close of the meeting Mr. Waters had arranged to have the banquet at the Bluebird room of the Bandolph hotel, the room in which the club now meets.

There will be music and dancing. The old saying that ' ' the office should seek the man" holds good in the case of the Florists' Club, as no one seems to want office. George C. Weiland de- clined to permit his name to stand for the presidency and the following slate for 1919 was elected without opposition, by unanimous ballot cast by the secre- tary: President, A. J. Zecb; vice-presi- dent, Walter Amling; secretary, A. T. Pyfer; treasurer. Otto H. Amling; trus- tee, Fred Lautenschlager, to take the place of H. N. Bruns. Henry D. Neve, Grant Wiffin and Xavier Wojtkiewicz, all of Des Plaines, 111., were elected to membership. Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., sent in three varieties of chrysanthe- mums, two of them being their new sorts, Victory and Loyalty. The latter was a yellow incurved mum which was judged in Chicago November 23 and scored 88 points. Victory, a white in- curved, was judged on the same date and scored 87 points. The third variety was December Queen. The Chicago Flower Growers' Association displayed a large vase of George Ball's calendula, also three varieties of pompons grown by Mr. Ball. They were Golden Wed- ding, yellow; Plumes, yellow, and Hilda Canning, bronze. The attendance at the meeting was large and was exceptionally good in that it was representative of growers, commission men and retailers. Various Notes. The burglar trust evidently has been reading about the high prices asked for flowers in the local market and con- cluded that a lot of cash would be found in some of the wholesale houses. De- cember 4 several places were broken in- to on the second floor of the Atlas block, including the stores of Wietor Bros., Charles W. McKellar, Archie Spencer and John Kruchten Co. None of these suffered any great loss, only a small amount of cash and postage stamps be- ing taken from each place, with the ex- ception of Archie Spencer, who lost his double-barreled shot gun, a new rain coat and traveling bag. The newly formed Retail Florists' As- sociation had its first evening meeting at dinner at Hotel La Salle December 8. The plan is to meet weekly for a while. Although there are numerous matters under consideration, the members' at- tention at present is centered on the short supply and high prices, which necessitate many departures from the old-time methods of running retail stores. The funeral of Gottfried Amling, father of florists, was largely attended, December 5. The deceased was one of the first settlers in the Maywood dis- trict, although his last years were spent in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Dreschler, in Eiver Forest. He was 87 and it had been reported in The Review several weeks ago that he was in a critical condition due to the infirmities of old age. Death came December 2. Mrs. Amling predeceased him by several years. Of their children, three sons, Albert F., Ernst C. and William H., are well known florists and one daugh- ter, Mrs. H. Wehrmann, married in the trade. There are eight grandchildren also in the business and several great- grandchildren growing up to it. A. L.

Many of them buy in this market only in cases of pinch and wholesalers were not found anxious to obligate themselves ahead of ascertaining the re- quirements of their regular customers; they were willing to take orders sub- ject to their ability to fill them at mar- ket prices, but that was not what the buyers wanted.

PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Stock is scarce. Flowers, plants and supplies all show the natural effect of war restrictions in the past. Every- where it is said that business is not heavy, but that the activity is all due to short supply. I doubt whether this is wholly correct. It is partly true, but a careful survey of the field leads to the belief that business is brisk enough to carry off a much larger supply at good prices. A careful study of the price list proves that flowers are bringing higher prices than usual for the first week in December. In fact, the prices warrant cutting everything and getting the stock to market at the earliest moment pos- sible. Take, for instance, white carna- tions. They are bringing today $8 per hundred. Good shipments often aver- age that figure right through. There is no question that it is better for the grower, for the wholesaler and for the healthy condition of the market to take this price rather than hold the flowers in the hope of getting more at the holi- days. The healthy condition of the market should be placed first, for noth- ing hurts business more than stale flow- ers. The dull condition of the market after New Year's has often been di- rectly traced to the disgust of the pub- lic with stale flowers. A market that is kept clean by lively demand at good prices spells profit for a long time, while a market with orders and no stock for the orders and then much stale stock that nobody wants, spells chances lost. Here is Phil's tip: Send your flowers in as rapidly as possible. Don't let them get too ripe on the plants. Pack as carefully as you know how. Send everything, unless your wholesaler tells you not to do so. It will pay. Christmas Plants. It has never happened before in the history of the growing of blooming BERGER BROS.

The growers have practically everything sold, or else they know who wants it, and they are trying to induce their cus- tomers to take foliage plants as the best substitute. The result will be that the houses will be emptied as they never have been emptied before at this sea- son. Christmas Greens. The market is poorly supplied with Christmas greens this season. Much of the holly is not well berried, owing, it is said, to the mild fall. It has also been extremely diflBcult to get it cut and packed, owing to the labor shortage. This also has cut down the number of holly wreaths. The girls who formerly made these wreaths have steady work elsewhere at higher wages. They will not come back to their old work, which was only temporary. Their places are hard to fill, so there are fewer holly wreaths. Boxwood sprays are likely to be a little better, but lycopodium is be- lieved to be short of requirements. There is a fair supply of mistletoe. La- bor conditions have affected laurel wreathing. Prices on Christmas greens are higher than last year. CHRYSANTHEMUMS CARNATIONS - ROSES - POMPONS "^ and all seasonable flowers.

Yet, as at every other plant in the east, Strafford has seen a fierce busi- ness gale this season, probably the fiercest ever, and Strafford has weath- ered it finely. The plant is being run to the full capacity, a little fuller even than usual, to insure greater production, and Strafford is looking well. The group of men agreed on that. They are all experts and they ought to know. There are five in the group: Alfred M. Campbell, the proprietor, a real, live hustler; Edward A. Stroud, who takes a fatherly pride in the place; Martin Gannon, who distributes the cut; December 12, 1918. The Florists^ Review 46 BEAUTIES Burton Stock and Burton Quality.

A house of them, two to a plant, presents a beauti- ful sight, an even sheet of scarlet bracts with foliage to the bench, clean all the way down. There are lilies, lots of them, and irises and lupines and many more, but the glory of Strafford today is its carnation house. There are six- teen long benches, three of Benora, five of Matchless, two of Beacon, three of Mrs. C. W. Ward and three of Enchant- ress Supreme. All are excellent.

The stock of practically all the pri- vate greenhouses hereabouts is now be- ing replenished as the result of the new order of the Fuel Administration, Fully expecting the fifty per cent edict to be carried out during the winter, the plants were allowed to dwindle away during the summer and early autumn. Joseph Jones, proprietor of the Pitts- burgh Tree, Hardy Flower & Seed Co., 405 Penn avenue, has returned to his place of business after two months' illness. Mr. Jones is showing an ex- ceptionally fine line of small growing Christmas trees. E. E. S. BOSTON. The Market. We have been experiencing wintry weather and flower shipments are de- cidedly reduced. Arrivals are cleaned up early and prices show a considerable advance over a week ago. Most of the rose specialists are off crop at present and prices as a result have taken a sharp advance. Short-stemmed stock has sold as high as $12 per hundred in the last week. Few red roses are com- ing in, but the growers hope to have a fair supply for the holidays. American Beauties sell well, but are less plenti- ful. All hybrid teas are sold out soon after arrival and these conditions are likely to continue for some time. Car- nations have stiffened materially in price and a good many are sold as high as $8. Violets were never in such short supply at this season and they sell at $1.50 and $2 per hundred. Chrysanthe- mums are on the wane and only flowers of medium size are now seen. Bonnaffon is over, but Seidewitz, Eager, the Chad- wicks and "White Bonnaffon are seen in fair numbers. The supply of pompons and singles is small. Lilies are more abundant. They sell at $15 to $20 per hundred and callas bring similar prices. Sweet peas come in small lots, but are nearly all short- stemmed. They easily realize $1.50 and $2 per hundred. Stevia is in good sup- ply and a few Paper White narcissi are coming in. Wall flowers are abundant; so are calendulas. Snapdragons are scarce and pansies are in much smaller supply. Cattleyas are getting scarce and realize higher prices. Little valley is seen and gardenias are scarce. Some good bouvardia continues to arrive and it sells well. Various Notes. The Massachusetts State Department of Agriculture will hold a series of lec- tures and discussions in Horticultural hall during the week of February 9. Cooperating are all branches of agricul- ture and horticulture, including market gardeners, nurserymen, fruit growers and florists. The Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club is actively cooperating and special lectures of interest to commer- cial florists will be arranged for. An exhibition of fruits, flowers, plants and vegetables will be held in connection with this meeting, which should prove helpful and interesting. William Hannan & Sons, of Dorches- ter avenue, are cutting Lilium longi- florum in quantity, also a fine lot of Golden Chadwick, White Bonnaffon, Seidewitz and other chrysanthemums. Penn showed some well flowered pan- cratiums in his window last week. One Christmas Baskets ORDER NOW This Christmas will be the greatest Christmas of all time.

Some common phrases become trite, while others commend themselves as pithy and terse expressions carrying a meaning that can be conveyed so con- cisely in no other words. Of such is the phrase that is repeated in the let- ters appended, as well as in numberless others like them that come to the office of The Eeview in a constant stream. "Sold out," and "all sold," said of stock advertised in the Classified col- umns by florists east and west, north and south, tell the story of prosperity in few words and in convincing terms. Volumes might be written about the value of publicity and the necessity of selecting the proper medium, but the apposite statements of our advertisers give the facts "in a nutshell" for all who have stock to sell. Like these: Kindly discontinue our vlnca ad. We are sold out of vlncas. — L. G. S. Snyder, Dayton, 0., No- vember 30, 1918. Cut out our ads for pansies and cinerarles. All sold. — Evenden Bros., WlUiamsport, Pa., Decem- ber 2, 1918. Kindly stop our snapdragon ad at once, as we are all sold out. We sold 13,000 plants from two insertions. — John H.

After this winter's food prices the planting of kitchen gardens should be quite general next spring and the con- signment box houses are looking for a big season. Urged on by the government, south- ern planters grew more than 100,000 acres of castor beans in 1918. Preparations had been made for still further increasing the acreage in 1919, but what now will become of the seed? It has been demonstrated that Amer- ica can get along without German seeds and no inclination is apparent to re- open at the earliest possible date the antebellum trade connections east of the Rhine. German seeds will not be in re- quest for some little time. The business of the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge. N. Y., was estab- lished in 1832, incorporation taking place in 1886. The officers of the company are : President, Jerome B. Rice, Jr. ; vice-presi- dent and treasurer, C. E. Smith; secre- tary, John L. Hunt; auditor, H. S. Hoard. FEBBY SAYS PSICES NOT FIXED. Answers Federal Trade Commission. , Negotiations are on between attorneys representing D. M. Ferry & Co., of De- troit, Mich., and the attorneys of the Federal Trade Commission, to agree on a statement of facts and submit it to the commission for a decision in the case before the commission in which the Detroit concern is charged with refusing to sell to retailers who cut prices to the public. The alleged refusal is de- clared to be a violation of the Federal Trade Commission act and the complaint in the case was brought against the company in August, as reported in The Review. If the attorneys can agree on a statement of facts, it will obviate the necessity for a formal hearing. The indications are that an agreement will be reached. The case is an interesting one, of&cials of the commission say, as, while the company specifically denies the jurisdic- tion of the commission in the premises, it nevertheless makes an explanation of the reasons which it believes led to the filing of the complaint. The company denies specifically that it requires its customers to sell at stipulated prices, or to maintain prices, and refuses to sell to those who will not agree to do so. Ferry's Statement of Policy. In its answer to the complaint filed with the commission, the company de- scribes its method of sale as follows: "At the beginning of each season, respondent 's travelers call upon the sev- eral retail merchants and take orders signed by them for the seeds desired. All of the orders are in the following form: D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich. Pleaae forward in due season a No. — box of standard garden, flower, and field seeds tn sell on conaiUaion for the year 191— on tlie followInK terikia, vl*.: 40 per cent on the papers sold and M per cent on the packages sold from the inTOice price, the unsold seeds with the boxes to be returned in good order when called for and amount due for all seeds not returned to be paid at the same time. 1918 CROP GARDEN SEED ALL VARIETIES TRUE TO TYPE— HIGH GERMINATION WRITE FOR 1919 CATALOGUE FLOWER SEED ^ We have 30,000 pounds in stock ^ SPINACH SEED Long Standing Victoria Round Tliicic Leaf Viroffiay Bloomsdale Savoy 55c per lb.

Bespondent has no control over the prices which the retail merchants obtain for the seed, and the latter are at lib- erty to accept any price which they please, or to use the seed themselves, or to give it away. The retail merchants make their price at which they sell the seeds and deal with such customers as they please. They render no account to respondent of any sales made by them. ' ' At the close of each season, respond- ent's travelers again call upon the re- tail merchants and adjust their several accounts with respondent, taking back the unsold seeds and causing them to be shipped to respondent at Detroit, al- lowing credit for the unsold at invoice price and collecting cash for the bal- ance at invoice price less the commis- sion provided for in the original con- tract. ' ' Sales Manager Had Different Idea. Then the answer continues: "Eespondent states that its officers and directors know of no instance in which -any person in its employ has ' asked any of its 175,000 customers to maintain prices and believe that there are no such instances except the follow- ing case: On or about December 24, 1917, one of respondent's sales man- agers wrote a letter to Thomas Eoulston, of Brooklyn." . This letter acknowledged receipt ot an order of September 12, and stated that an order was entered for forty stores and it was expected to ship the goods early and to get them through in due season, and the letter then con- tinued: One of our travelers reported that some of your stores were selling our goods last season at less than the market prices.

Shortly after this the sales manager directed a traveler to call on Boulston with reference to the question of main- taining prices. The answer sets forth that the traveler got in touch with Eoulston on the telephone and Eoulston told him that there were other brands of seeds just as good and declined to see the traveler, and it continues: "A report was made to the sales manager and the latter concluded that Eoulston would be an undesirable cus- tomer because of his attitude towards respondent's traveler and his utter in- difference toward respondent's seed as distinguished from many of the compe- tition brands. "Therefore and irrespective of any other matters which had ever arisen be- tween them, said sales manager did not permit shipment of the seeds ordered by Eoulston, although he had previously advised that his order had been entered. Contrary to Policy of House. "The whole Eoulston incident took place without the knowledge of respon- dent's officers or directors until called to their attention by a representative of the Federal Trade Commission. "Had they known, the letter would not have been sent out and neither would the traveler have been permitted MICHELL'S c'ifo^ FLOWER SEED VERBENAS Tr. Pkt. Oz.

The answer concludes with the state- ment: "None of its customers are en- gaged in interstate commerce and each of its customers is engaged solely in commerce wholly within his own par- ticular state and in competition only with persons likewise doing business wholly within such particular state, and respondent therefore denies the jurisdic- tion of the Federal Trade Commission in the tnatter."

E. Xunderd, Goshen, Ind. — Gladiolus cata- logue for 1919, offering Kunderd varieties only; freely and finely illustrated; forty-eight pages and cover. Probably the most Interesting feature of the book is the announcement of "a new race of giant fall-flowering gladioli, which come into bloom about a month later than other late- flowering kinds planted at the same time." Speaking of his progress in the work of hybridiza- tion, Mr. Kunderd gays, "The wavy or ruffled petals were the first object sought, but many wonderful ^varieties with the plain petals bare been produced from this strain." Hence, of flie seven varieties listed in the new late-blooming strain, five have plain petals.

WANTS YOUR ORDERS FOR ALL EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SEYMOUR, INDIANA M. A. BARICK ^F.'r^D^Mel^r"' S. A. F. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Don't "Let the Other Fellow Do It." A little over two weeks remain in wliich to complete the drive for $50,000, tlie amount required by our publicity committees to finance the liabilities they have assumed in the carrying out of the publicity campaign for 1918. As will be noticed by the financial report appended hereto, we are short about $4,665. Can we make good? Can we raise this small sum among the large num- ber of florists who have not yet sub- scribed to the fund! It should not be difficult if the disposition to "let the other fellow do it" were eliminated. The " other fellow ' ' has been doing it all along, in many cases duplicating his subscription or materially increasing it. The "other fellow" has had an eye to the results forthcoming from the campaign, a wide-open eye. He realized that we would have to pass through a critical time in the florists' business, a time when the ordinary demand for flowers would of necessity be greatly reduced. He further realized that some- thing should be done to create a new demand which would fill in the gap, and he believed that this was possible through our campaign. He made the campaign possible through his subscrip- tions, and he has now the satisfaction of knowing that his views were cor- rect, for he has enjoyed the benefits ac- cruing" from the greater demand which SAUNA, KANSAS LEIGHTON FLORAL CO. ttembers Florists' Telegraph Delivery Aas'n ATCHISON, KAN.

Stock of all kinds is remarkably scarce and prices are soaring high. The after- Thanksgiving effects leave the market bare and the stock is as -scarce as it was during the first month of the epi- demic. Fortunately, however, the de- mand is not so large as at that time, but it is difficult to fill all orders with the small quantity of stock arriving. Only a small supply of chrysanthemums reach us each day and they sell rapidly. CLEVELAND OHIO A. GRAHAM & SON, 5523 EUCLID AVENUE Member F. T. H Bell Main 2809 Cuy.

The bumper demand for Thanksgiving cleared everything in sight at that time, and has left but few late ones on hand. Those that remain are chiefly Bonnaffon. Pompons are also well cleared up and those that remain are selling at high figures. There has been also a decided shortage of violets this week, and the growers predict a great shortage for the coming holidays. Cut flowers of all kinds, the growers say, will be extremely scarce. This seems too bad when pros- pects are brighter and the demand un- doubtedly heavier than we have had in several years. The supply of roses keeps up well, and, by careful planning, can be made to go around. The stock is good and includes all grades of Septem- ber Morn, Ophelia, Prima Donna, Co- lumbia, Ward, Sunburst, Shawyer, Kil- larney and White Killarney, Scott Key and Eussell.

Stock is scarce and is bringing from $8 to $10 per hundred. This is exceptionally high for this time of the month. Easter lilies are in fair supply and sell rapidly. The supply of callas is not large. A few good snapdragons are seen and move quickly. Orchids are not in large demand. Fine stevia from the local growers arrives daily and sells well. This is especiallyniseftfl, because there are scarcely any small flowers on the market. A few sweet peas are seen oc- casionally^ Greens are plentiful and the demaivd for galax and leucothoe holds up well. -' ^ Various Notes. The death of Private Harry E.

Hardy grows flowers, plants and vegetables for the wholesale and retail trade in this vicinity. LOS ANGELES. The Market. Prices have eased up a little on car- nations, owing to a rise in the tem- perature and brighter weather, but they still are higher than usual at this sea- son. Funeral work in abundance ke^ps all varieties cleaned up except red, which are the most plentiful. White, pink and rose-pink are most in demand and clean up daily. Eoses are coming in more freely and growers predict a good cut for Christmas, especially if the present mild weather continues. Heather is a better color now and its long dis- tance shipping qualities make it popu- lar. Poinsettias are coming in freely and the quality is of the best. Large chrysanthemums are over, but there are still pompons on the market. There is a fair supply of orchids coming in and a few Cecile Brunner roses. Violets are arriving in better condition, but their quality is not yet up to standard. The greens situation'^is improving and orders for holiday decdrations are nu- merous. The general disposition, how- ever, seems to be to hold back on this line and apparently there will not be so much money spent as usual. In pot plants for the holidays there is a nice showing of poinsettias, cycla- mens, ericas, palms, ferns and begonias. Some large ericas from the north are especially good in color and well flow- ered. Various Notes. P. Wolfskin, of the Orchid Flower Shop, Pasadena, was taken ill in the morning of Thanksgiving day. He had been driving around the day before picking up stock. John Gordon is back on the job again after his siege of influenza. It takes a good deal to put him out of business, but the "flu" proved too much for him temporarily. F. Lichtenberg is planning another change in his store and is decorating with fine kentias and hanging baskets. This may not sound original, but the method of treatment is unique and when the scheme is complete there can be no question of its success. W. Grover, formerly manager of the cut flower department of Howard & Smith, died precisely six months to a day after giving up work at the store. He had been out of health a long time before, however. Fred Dostal, the pres- ent manager, says that the Los Angeles rose has been a great success through- out the season. At the beginning of December this concern was sending out boxes of this rose cut from outside that compared favorably with almost any of the indoor roses on the market. W. Armacost & Co. have a fine cut of Beauties on now and all the other va- rieties of roses are fine. They expect an extra large cut of Columbia from now on for Christmas. Dan MacEorie, of the MacEorie-Mc- Laren Co., San Francisco, is in town this week. He is bosting a new variety of Erica melanthera. Mrs. H. G. Helmar, of Santa Barbara, is among our visitors this week, looking up stock for the coming holidays. Polder Bros., of Montebello, report an increasing demand yearly for their root- ed carnation cuttings, repeat orders from well satisfied customers showing that the stock sent out is right in every particular. There is no reduction in funeral work at the Eedondo Floral Co. and this is always a busy place. As a mark of ap- preciation of good service rendered, each of the employees of the company was presented with a 15-pound turkey for Thanksgiving. A. F. Borden was accused of running down a lot of chick- ens and turkeys wibh that new auto of his, but he denies that soft impeach- ment. The first meeting of the Florists' Club since the influenza ban has been removed will be held at Christopher's December 10. Thomas Wright, of Wright's Flower Shop, is the latest to date to go on the sick list. All hope to see him back soon. . Jack D'Ortignac, who is looking after the wholesale decoration end at the L. A. Floral Co., successfully moved a grand specimen of Cedrus Deodara, some forty feet high, to one of the principal clothing stores in the city. To move this tree some eight or nine miles and set it up in the store in one night is no light task, but Jack was on the .iob all right and apparently not a twig was broken nor any other damage done. The shipping business at this house has passed all records for this part of the season. At the Liberty fair several of the nurserymen and seedsmen made displays. The Morris & Snow Seed Co., Inc., the Germain Seed & Plant Co. and Aggeler 1 Is & Musser Seed Co. all had exhibits of their specialties and fine banks of nursery stock came from the Fancher Creek Nurseries, Inc., and the West Adams Nursery. F. E. Hills made a unique display of large ferns of the various nephrolepis types, including his varieties Elysiari and Hibernica, Tony Tassano says that the business of Tassano Bros, has made it necessary to open another store in the southern part of the city. H. E. Eichards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. Chrysanthemums are tenacious this year. Though they have had a long and profitable season, they seem reluctant to give way. The supply is diminishing rapidly, however, and another week will probably see the market without mums. The offerings are fairly good in quality, considering the lateness in the season, but they show the effects of the cold weather and no longer cut any figure in shipping orders. Pompons are in about the same position — rapidly going off crop — but the local demand is suffi- ciently strong to clean up the supplies at firm prices, prices which could only be obtained a fortnight ago for the best stock. The market generally is strong, there being barely enough flowers to fill requirements. Eoses are about the most plentiful item, but there is no surplus by any means, the shortage of other fiowers making the demand exceptionally large. The quality was never better for this season of the year, American Beauties leave nothing to be desired, and Eussell and Ophelia maintain a high average. In reds, Hoosier Beauty and Hadley sup- ply the demand nicely. Violets have been scarce since Thanksgiving and lit- tle improvement is expected until there is more rain. The scarcity is reflected in the small bunches offered by the growers at the old prices. Carnations are another scarce item. There is every indication that cut flowers generally POINSETTIAS 108.000 fine colored, most extra large blooms on frostless protected grounds.

[Extracts from the paper, "The Florists' Busi- ness in War Time," by J. Otto Thllow, of Phila- delphia, read at the meeting of the Philadel- phia Florists' Club, December 3.] The florists' business in war times, whether active or dull, would be no guide for future planning or prepara- tion of what to do in times of peace, unless the strain is felt through loss, or buoyancy enhanced through victory. Wars are not frequent, and are not al- ways under the same commercial re- lationship. We have had a number of problems confront us during the war we hope has closed, and from the effects of which we are still seriously under pressure, as we have been told that our vocation was not at all in the line of importance. Imagine an industry which has assumed the proportion o^ the florists' business in this land of ours; the area covered with glass, that of growing in open ground, the constant need of glass, heat- SEEDLINGS Mastodon Grccnhotuc, special mixed, per 2fi0, $2.26; per 600.

The bulk of this increase centered around the large cities of the east; the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania alone made up $12,000,000 of the aggregate. The most rapid in- crease has been in the Pacific section, which in later years has shown mar- velous activity in floriculture. We see from these figures that the florists' business assumes a place of importance in the financial world, and in property 94 The Florists^ Review December 12, 1918. ownership. All of this means the de- velopment of an industry because the people demand it, essential or nones- sential, and not because it has been de- veloped by the florists themselves and their advertising skill; they are poor at that. It was not until the facilities warranted our production that we re- sorted to "Say It with Flowers." Wliat We Have Faced. But this was all interrupted by gov- ernment restriction during the last eight- een months. The working force was mthdrawn for the army, the coal supply was limited, there were almost prohibi- tive prices of glass, iron, lumber, and even flower pots. Then a pallor of fear spread over the country to almost the straining point, even to a proposed clos- ing down by many who feared the worst. With this menace prevalent throughout the country, there was an unprece- dented demand for flowers, almost alto- gether on account of the prevailing epi- demic which came upon us with appal- ling results. For such needs, flowers will and must be used. Many were glad even for this excuse to go into the flower shop uncriticized; otherwise it would be considered luxury, as against the needs of the Red Cross and other benevolences to alleviate the sufferings of war. The strain occasioned by the war has had an eighteen months' duration, but stren- uous during that period. We venture a prophecy: Economy will redound to great gain when the usual activity begins. We have learned to take into account many items and meth- ods of operation never tried before, which is one of the greatest assets. Knowing the value of material, we will construct only to the extent that high labor costs and our own working abil- ity will permit, and will be better able to cope with the periods of business slumps which come without war. These are called financial crises; indeed, some wiseacres have already prophesied that one is near, and they may be thought- lessly correct. In this, the whole com- munity suffers and the florists feel it first. CINCINNATI. Tlie Market. Stock of all kinds is so short that it is utterly impossible to fill all orders that come into the market; or, for that matter, any substantial part of them. Prices are the highest that this mar- ket has ever known. The demand from out of town is especially heavy. Roses are scarce and are selling at a fixed price per foot of stem. Carnations are bringing prices higher than the usual run of Christmas prices for this flower. The few Easter lilies and callas that come into the market clean up readily. Poinsettias have made their appearance and meet with a good demand. Some excellent snapdragon is coming. Stevia continues to sell well. The few chrys- anthemums available clean up quickly each day at good prices. Other offerings include lily of the valley, orchids, sweet peas, single and double violets, calen- dulas, wallflowers, forget-me-nots and baby primroses. Decorative greens are meeting with a good market. The call for boxwood, which is scarce, and galax is particularly strong. Magnolia leaves are selling well.

The William Murphy Co. has been re- ceiving large poinsettias that have found a good market. They were the first oflfered in this market this season. Mike Hanks and Harry O. Eoth have opened a flower store at 5 "West Seventh street under the style of the Paradise Floral Shop. Mr. Hanks had years of experience in the busi- ness when he worked for Julius Baer; he is not afraid of hard work, is able and with his partner should make good ik-this venture.

What are they? They are 4-inch reproductions of Fraternal Emblems embossed in fgold and the colors demanded by each Fraternal Order ^ How are they used? They are attached to the ribbon or chiffon of any floral offering. Why are they of such help to the Florist? They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M. They save wire designs; for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and flowers as scarce and high as theyare everywhere this winter. They save lettering. Think of that. If attached to door badges alone, theyare worth many times their cosi. What do they cost? They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen cash, and should retail for 50c each, or $6.00 per dozen. An order of two dozen ($4.00 cash) gets the exclusive use of Frat-M's for one year in cities of 25,000 or less.

BuNYARD, who is widely known among British nurserymen, asserts that he has demonstrated by comparative tests that the blackberry known in America as ' Himalaya is identical with the German variety called Theodore Reimers. The action of the Federal Horticultural Board in prohibiting plant imports will affect m^y business interests and it is within the pbssibilities that the pressure may become so strong that the board will have either to reverse its course or fight for its own life. The nurserymen as a body look upon the labor situation as the principal diffi- culty to be overcome before the spring rush, and in localities where the cessation of munitions-making has relieved large bodies of men this problem already is less acute, although wages still are high. FOREST TBEE SEEDUNGS. The demand for forest tree seedlings and native shrubs has been excellent this fall, even better than last season, while many spring orders for orna- mentals already have been booked, re- ports the Forest Nursery Co., McMinn- ville, Tenn. "The supply of forest tree seedlings is limited in this section and the demand is good, far better than last season," says Boyd Bros., proprietors of the com- pany. "Some items, such as mulberry, locust, ash and poplar, are about cleaned up at present. Native shrubs are mov- ing freely and there is no large stock in the south that we know about. Sales with us are better than last season and we are booking some good orders for delivery next spring. "We anticipate a good spring business and clean-up. "We have been handicapped to some extent on account of the labor shortage, but, as the boys will be back from France by spring, all soon will be mov- ing nicely. We have no kicks coming." THE FRUIT TREE SITUATION. That during the next two years there will be the greatest shortage of fruit trees and small fruit stock in the history of the nursery business is the belief of T. J. Dinsmore, president of the Farm- ers Nursery Co., Troy, O. Discussing the situation in regard to fruit stock, Mr. Dinsmore said: "We do not know where the supply of fruit stock is to come from for the next few years. Trees and small fruits will bring the highest prices ever known. There are some varieties that cannot Ready to Accept Orders From American Nurserymen Shipping facilities are improving every day, and our home office ex- pects no difficulty in sending nur- sery stock to America.

"We look for business to be better for some time to come than it has been in the last year or so and predict that at the end of 1918-19 we all shall be satisfied." DEMAND FOR ORNAMENTALS. "Business so far this fall is about double what it was a year ago, and all lines have been moving freely," says John C. Frasor, Jr., secretary of the Fraser Nursery Co., Huntsville, Ala. "Early in the season fruit trees moved best, but later ornamentals picked up until now the orders for these are com- ing in about as freely as those for fruit trees. We anticipate a great deal more business than we have had for the last one or two years." COAST NURSERY NOTES. E. B. Jackson, well known California nurseryman, died at his liome near Yuba City recently. The Placer Nurseries, at Newcastle, Cal., owned by the Silva & Bcrgtholdt Co., are digging 500,000 trees, this year 's output.^^ The Loma Rica Nurseries, of Grass Valley, Cal., report booking an order for 1,000 pear trees to be delivered in 1921. The trees are to be of the ussuriensis stock, the seedlings of wliich are now growing at a nursery in Kansas. According to information given out by M. B. Pratt, chief deputy forester, in a letter to the State Council of Defense, a bill will be introduced at the next Cali- fornia legislature to provide for a state nursery, for the purpose of growing stock for planting along the highways and public roads and the beautifying of public parks and playgrounds. The measure will carry the provision for the purchase or lease of a tract of land suit- able for nursery purpos?s, as well as the construction of ])uildings and the em- ployment of nurserymen. It is esti- mated that $48,0nn will be required to establish the proposed nursery and operate it for two years. M. M. Plants for the Holidays Prepare now for Christmas. There is going to be a big demand for plants this year. The war is over and there is joy in every home; your customers will want fine plants to decorate their festive boards and to make presents. There has been a scarcity of help the past year and many growers had to close some of their houses; a great many places closed up for good which, no doubt, will make good stock scarce. We have a very line stock of plants and will give you good value for your money. We recommend the placing and shipping of orders early, as there is no telling what the weather or railroad conditions will be later on. FERNS.

I Florists Not Limited. The United States Fuel Administra- tion has canceled its order restricting the use of coal and other fuel by florists and, from the date of the cancellation, December 2, florists are permitted to purchase as much coal as they desire. While the order was signed Novem- ber 30, there seems to have been some delay in formally promulgating it. The order sets forth that "pursuant to the announced policy of the United States Fuel Administration, of its inten- tion to remove restrictions on the con- sumption of fuel as speedily as condi- tions may warrant, Fuel Administrator Garfield has signed orders lifting abso- lutely all restrictions, laid under pre- vious curtailment orders, upon florists, window glass, clay products and cement manufacturers. Fuel Abundant Now. "Under the original orders florists were compelled to reduce their use of fuel to fifty per cent, beginning April 1, last, although subsequently modifica- tions allowed them to use wood in excess of that amount under conditions ap- proved by the Fuel Administration." There were other local and temporary modifications of the original order which permitted the use of such grades of fuel as were in surplus. The reports which reach the Fuel Ad- ministration show that there is an am- ple supply of coal on hand at the mines, and if there is a shortage anywhere it is due to transportation conditions. DDaDDaDDaaaDaDDDDaDDaDDDDDD INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Indianapolis has received an awaken- ing! This always has been a low-priced market and even though prices in every commodity and luxury have been soar- ing higher and higher, flower prices have remained practically the same. It took a famine in flowers to bring about results. With but few flowers to sell, the tradesmen had to raise prices in order to get by, and behold, they are now in at least as good demand as before! Which goes to prove that it has been the florists' own fault that he has not been getting good prices all along. Carnations are retailing at $2 per dozen and go like hot cakes. Enough cannot be procured. Other prices are in accordance. Since it is the fault of the tradesmen if the prices ever go down again, let us pull together to keep them up and make flowers a luxury to be appreciated. Flowers in this locality are extremely scarce and by no means equal to the demand.

The great variety of boilers that we make places us in a commandins position. We make every type of boiler that is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest water tube steam boiler (600 horsepower). For the above reason we can furnish the most efficient boiler unit in every case. It is the Kroeschell policy to supply only that type of boiler which is best suited to the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand.

There is an unusual scarcity of cut flowers for this season and prices have soared even over Thanksgiving figures on soma items. This is especially true of carnations, which are so high at wholesale that the retailers have been , obliged to raise their prices to $1.50 per dozen. Boses also are on the short side, particularly Hoosier Beauty, Richmond and Milady. Many of the local growers ' stocks are either oflE crop or the cut is being held for Christmas. A few Easter lilies are offered and a scant sup- ply of snapdragon. Stevia is used in many instances in place of greens. Cat- tleyas and other orchids command ex- cellent prices. The weather during the early part of December has been dark and rainy and unseasonably warm. Nevertheless the florists have been displaying Christmas wreaths, baskets, etc., and report a good advance demand. The bulk of the trade has run to funeral work, with an occa- sional wedding and a good demand for social purposes. Flowering plants are in their prime, azaleas having made their appearance last week. Cincinnati be- gonias, cyclamens and primroses are of excellent quality and a few Christmas plants are shown, such as Jerusalem cherries and poinsettias. Various Notes. November business showed a decided increase over any previous year and if there had not been an unprecedented shortage of cut flowers, resulting in high prices, receipts would have been much larger. The second outbreak of the influenza epidemic has occurred in this city and the ban has again been placed on public gatherings, affecting schools particu- larly. Over 600 cases have developed in the city within the last three or four days, but as yet there have been com- paratively few deaths. Some fine poinsettias and azaleas are displayed in the wdndows of the Flick Floral Co. This firm also has an excel- lent display of Christmas novelties in wreaths, baskets^ etc. A fine cut of roses in Russell, Shawyer and Ophelia is promised at the green- houses of Frank J. Knecht & Co. for the Christmas trade. The six orchid houses of W. J. & M. S. Vesey are making a fine showing, as many varieties are in season. This flrm is expecting a record crop for the holi- days. The rose houses also look prom- ising. Advance orders for Christmas, espe- cially from out of town, are coming in satisfactory volume at the flower shop of Edgar Wenninghoff. R. F. B.

Coal is "all fired" hard to get and mighty high priced as well, so you simply can't aiford to go at the glazing proposition in an indifferent way. Saves Coal! You must keep the heat in and the cold out to save that coal and money pile of yours; Perma- nite will show you how. Leading floristslall over the country have found Permanite just the material for this purpose. To prove this to your own satisfaction, give the letter from the Rhea Floral Company the "once over"; Permanite will do just as good work for you ! But there are plenty of other reasons why you should^use Permanite. When you have Perma- nited your houses you are finished— no more "puttering" around and continuously going over your work— you are through for years to come, because Permanite lasts three to four times as long as putty without hardening or cracking. No Bedding Required ! Another saving!can be^accomplished by laying the glass over the bars without the usual bedding. Mr. Sanders did it— so have hundreds of others at a big saving of time and money, with as good, if not better results ! Windstorms Have no Effect on Permanited Glass! There can be no more broken glass withiPerma- nite on the job; Permanite stays elastic and thus, being^able to give with the expansion and contraction of the house, prevents breakage and keeps the glass from slipping and blowing out. Read Mr. Mortensen's letter; he had the same trouble a good many other florists are experiencing every winter, but, thanks to Permanite, he hasn't lost a single light for several seasons ! ci_ Yours for a Tight House, THE GARLAND COMPANY Cleveland Ohio U.S.;l.

Floriculture at Cornell University. "With the signing of the armistice the work of the Department of Floricul- ture at Cornell is rapidly coming back to its former status. When war was declared, many men students specializ- ing in floriculture joined the colors and the classes in 1918 have been composed almost entirely of women students. The staff of instructors was -also much depleted, practically all having been engaged in some form of war service. Early in January, 1918, E. C. Volz, instructor, resigned to become director of school and home garden work in Michigan. In February, E. A. White was relieved of his duties at the col- lege to take up the organization and supervision of school and home garden work in western New York. This work was continued until July 1, 1918. July 1, M. E. Farnham, instructor, was called for service and was stationed at Camp Sevier, S. C. At the same time Miss L. A. Minns was given leave of absence that she might supervise the greenhouse and garden work at the Carnegie Insti- tute for Experimental Evolution at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., thus relieving a man for war service. In September, C. L. Thayer, instructor, was called for service and is now stationed at Fort Adams, B. I. During the fall Prof. David Lumsden has been teaching the) S. A. T. C. in meteorology. Dr. A. C. Beal was granted a sabbatic leave of absence for the year 1918-1919, which he is spei\ding at Los Angeles, Cal. During the last four weeks many of the former students have expressed a desire to return to their work in flori- culture, and plans are being made to begin all the courses December 30.

Trade has broken ftt^rre«oras . here in the last few ■vfre^ks, wliile stock has been scarce, ^tock obtainable also has brought top-notch prices, prices, in fact, unheard-of for this date, and still people have bought' up everything eagerly. The wholesalers have the advantage in one way. They send in the stock and it is for the retailers to explain to the pub- lic the reason for the high prices. Boses have been in fair crop with the growr ers who are running them through the winter, but some of the growers havQ closed down their rose housea, which has made stock scaree» It is almost im- possible to get anything outside of the regular lines. Carnations are scarce and high in price. There is only a handful in the market, so to speak. Lilies also are on the short side. A few callas arrive. Mums are a thing of the past. Sweet peas are a little more plentiful. Vio- lets are of good quality, but the supply is limited. All the florists are of the opinion that if we only had plenty of stock, much business could be done. But it looks as if we would have to make one dozen roses go as far as two dozen at the same price and similarly in other items. J. M. BUFFALO, N. Y. Stock of all kinds has been short the entire week. Cloudy weather has had much to do with curtailing the supply. The weather now is more favorable and a few days of it surely will do wonders in furnishing a supply. The continued shortage is causing some uneasiness about Christmas. The market will un- doubtedly have to defend on shipments from distant points Tor the holidays. There also will be a shortage of holiday pot plants, with the exception of prim- roses, begonias and cherries. F. P. A. Mention The Rerlew when you write. Nannfactured by NICOTINE MFG. CO., 117 N.

His recognition of the labor-saving qualities of modem National Cash Registers is plainly shown by a contract he has just placed for nearly $100,000.00 worth of ma- chines. This order calls for 1 00 of our latest model clerk-wrap reg- isters. It is the largest single order ever placed with us for one store.

The supply of French candidums this season is far below normal. Whoever has any, however, will find them excel- lent property, as lilies the coming Eas- ter will be scarce and blooms of the beautiful, pure white Madonna lilies are sure to command high prices. Candi- dums as pot plants are far more effective when several are grown together in fair- ly large pots. Nothing could be finer for church decoration than a 10-inch pot containing half a dozen stalks, each carrying eight to twelve flowers and buds. For this purpose they are much superior to longiflorum, as they are tal- ler and of more graceful habit. Plants required to bloom for Easter should be placed in a cool house now, with a tem- perature not over 45 degrees at night. At no time should the minimum tem- perature run over 55 degrees at night and 50 to 52 degrees is better. If grown cool, the flowers will be larger, with a good deal of substance, while if forced hard, they will come undersized and "floppy." Some growers are handling home-grown candidums this season and there is no reason why these should not do well, provided they have had some freezing before being housed. Here is where many growers fail. Gigan- teums need heat from start to finish. Candidums want a freezing and later comparatively cool treatment. water. I invariably propagate some of these French hydrangeas, as well as the otaksas, early in September. These plants are now in 3-inch pots in a cool house and are being started up. A little later they will get a shift into 4l^-inch pots and each will carry one large head of flowers, which will be fully open seven months from the time they were propa- gated. If you want good heads on your hydrangeas, something more than cold water is needed, once they have their pots full of roots. Be sure to feed them twice a week, until the flower heads are well developed. If you want to increase your stock of hydrangeas, take any of the blind shoots and propagate them as procurable. Get these in 4-inch pots before the weather permits them to be planted outdoors in good soil, or, if you prefer, grow them in pots all summer and keep them plunged to the brims in an open, sunny spot convenient to the hose. time propagating benches are usually steadily warm and in addition there is less ventilation in the houses than at any other period of the year. Now is the ideal time to root all kinds of foliage plants, such as crotons, draceenas, acaly- phas, pandanus, etc., as well as bedding plants of all kinds. Keep the cutting bench well filled. The demand for plants of every sort next year will be greater than ever and those who have had the courage to keep their green- houses going will reap the benefits. FRENCH HYDRANGEAS. There are extremely few azaleas this season and, with an almost total ab- sence of lilies, there is bound to be a tremendously increased sale of French hydrangeas. They can be had in flower early in March if started right away. Do not give too much heat at first. Let them break; then give 55 to 60 degrees at night. If your stock was pot-grown through the summer, it will force earlier than if field-grown, and such plants, of course, will need an abundant supply of BEDDING GERANIUMS. Now that Christmas plants are out of the way, you can give a little more badly needed space to the bedding gera- niums and pot over such as may be needing it. No doubt you can get tops from many of the plants, which can either be rooted singly in small pots of sandy loam or placed directly in the cutting bench. There is far less lia- bility of geraniums taken under glass damping off than cuttings taken out- doors. The indoor ones are shorter- jointed and firm, while the outside ones, taken in the fall, are invariably soft. Never shade geranium cuttings and do not make a habit of spraying them over as you would heliotrope, coleus or alter- nanthera cuttings. FOR EMPTY GREENHOUSES. Perhaps you have closed down part of your greenhouses this month and are planning to reopen them toward spring. In such a case it is necessary to look ahead and prepare some stock for these houses. If you are a small retail grower, you will need to grow miscellaneous stock and a number of seeds can be started advantageously now. Among these are calendulas, sweet peas, annual larkspurs, ten weeks'^ stocks, Centaurea Cyanus and C. imperialis, Gypsophila elegans, lupines and the yellow Mexican poppy, Hunnemannia fumarisefolia. Sow these in shallow flats and later pot them off singly. Open up one house at a time and fill with these seedlings, which wiU give you a lot of valuable cutting later. GENISTAS. PROPAGATION. We are approaching the shortest days and the period of severe cold. At this Start up a batch of genistas now. Do not use much heat for them; 50 degrees at night should be the maximum. There is a long period before Easter when genistas can be sold, so start some right away. This is an ideal time to put in a good batch of genista cuttings. Short side-shoots rubbed off with a heel are best. Do not give uiuch bottom heat. They will root better with mums and carnations than with crotons and coleus. These will make nice stock in 5-inch pots before fall, if properly treated.

During the last two years of German occupation the Belgian plantsmen, who in peace times SLTu^j^fJly shipped thou- sands of cases of aMiMs and other stock to American florist^were cut off from communication with their customers and their fate was unknown. Interest natu- rally was keen, because there is no re- tail florist or plant grower in America who has not handled Belgian stock, felt the effect of shutting it off during the last two years and wondered if the grower had suirvived and would be able to "come back." The trade's interest has not been lessened by the announce- ment that the Federal Horticultural Board will prohibit the entry of Belgian plants after June 1, 1919. The moment the armistice was signed efforts were started to get into com- munication with the growers around Ghent and news of them and their in- dustry of world-wide connections now is coming out. An Azalea Grower's Story "Yes," wrote one of the Ghent grow- ers on evacuation day, "we are once more free from the enemy, free from four long years of cruel oppression, free from unceasing threat and unbearable arrogance, free from continual and in- cessant robbery. From free people that we were we had become slaves, and since then we only have learned the real mean- ing of the word ' Liberty. ' ' ' "What has become of the nurseries and nursery trade? You know the pros- perity of our place before the war, you have seen year after year the rapid de- velopment of the nursery trade and you are a true witness how the houses and grounds were kept clean and held in a good state. What a painful impression it would make on you if you came and saw our nurseries now," wrote Jules de Puysseleyr, of Loochristy, to the English Horticultural Advertiser. "What a de- cay ! What a ruin ! The houses, not be- ing painted these four years, and no putty being at hand, have suffered much from sun, rain and wind and hardly keep together. Especially the old houses are totally dismantled and are not fit to shelter plants during winter. ' ' The stock of plants has become small and many a nursery has no plants at all. At the beginning everyone thought the war would not last long, that it would soon come to an end, and so everybody kept his nursery and stock of plants in good order. In 1915, however, people seeing that the war still lasted, that there was no selling of plants, no fuel to be got and that the leaf -soil and other necessary materials became scarce and expensive, threw their plants away and started to grow vegetables. In 1916 and following years the selling of plants be- came worse and worse, the prices lower and lower, fuel scarce and exceedingly expensive, so one after another, espe- cially the small nurserymen, gave up growing plants and went in for vege- tables. I dare say that at this time the half of the nurserymen in our place have NO HELP FROM U. S. The plantsmen at Ghent, that great horticultural center of Bel- gium, look to America for assist- ance in re-establishing their indus- try, but they will be disappointed — they have not yet heard that the Federal Horticultiiral Board, a part of the United States Gov- ernment, has decreed no more Bel- gian azaleas, bay trees, palms or other plants shall be permitted en- trance here. To make the Belgians imder- stand why we bar their products will not be easy; the statement that our authorities (but not the trade) fear disease or devastating Insects in their soil will seem to them incomprehensible — they will suspect it as being camouflage, covering the real reason, although they know we have not yet been able to grow for ourselves the azalea, their principal item of ex- port, that we need them as they need us. no plants at all. Palms have nearly dis- appeared, the old stock is almost sold out and there is no young stock at hand. Araucarias are scarce; thousands of stock plants have been thrown away and few young plants were raised. Ehodo- dendrons look rather poor, for year after year these were not taken care of. "As to azaleas, the great specialty of our place, some stock is left in a few nurseries, but the selection of varieties has totally disappeared. Some of the best English selling varieties, such as John Llewellyn, President Osw. de Kerk- hove and J. B. Varonne, are hardly to be found. The chief varieties in cul- ture and in stock are Mme. Petrick, Mme. Vander Cruyssen and Vervseneana. Besides, these plants are not in form, growth and strength similar to what they were before the war. All the plants are about one year backward in growth. For instance, an azalea that was salable after three years of cultivation before the war, looks now as a plant 2 years old and is not salable at all. The young stock of azaleas fails totally and it will be a long time before the growth of this valuable plant is at the height of its normal cultivation. The Chief Difficulties. "Perhaps the chief cause of trouble was lack of coal. In 1914 and the first half of 1915 everybody could buy coal, but thereafter, the mines and coal trade falling under German control, coal was not to be got any more. Now and then a small distribution was made to the nurserymen, but not half sufficient and of inferior quality. Therefore we had to put our plants in as few houses as possible, cover them with old mats and heat the houses with wood, ashes and a few coals. You can imagine the effect this had on the plants! After each win- ter thousands of azaleas perished. "A second cause of trouble was the failure of new leaf -soil. At the beginning of the war we had free passage all over the country, but soon a passport was re- quired to move about (which was sel- dom given, notwithstanding good pay- ment), and we could not bring the leaf- soil from the places where it was to be found. At the same time the horses were taken away for the German army, the vehicles were requisitioned and necessary materials could not be trans- ported except at exorbitant prices. So it came that the plants, always being transplanted in old and used soil, could not set forth new roots, did not grow, remained stunted plants and at last per- ished. "We might have helped the plants with some good manure, but there was none. The best manure we used for azaleas before the war was malt-radicles, but these were not to be got with money, not even with gold, so dear to the Ger- mans. The German army wanted these for food for the horses and, the malteries being under their control, nothing of this precious manure could be obtained. "Another serious obstacle was lack of hands. Many people were engaged in our army. Of those remaining, the ten- der-hearted Germans conscripted young Belgian people and compelled them to work for the German army against our own country. So we had to help our- selves with boys and women' and the work was not half done. Exporting During the War. ' ' At last I must say a word about the exportation of plants during the war. In 1914, the exportation being normal, plants were sent to all countries except Germany. In 1915 the Germans prohib- ited us to send plants to their enemies, especially to England and France. How- ever, I am pleased to say that a good many plants traveled to England via Holland and the Germans were not clever enough to prevent this. Mean- while an avalanche of German nursery- men invaded our nilrseries and, with ridiculous prices, tried to buy our plants and make a good profit out of them in Germany. The German government, however, had limited the import of plants in Germany; every German nurs- eryman was only allowed to import one- third of the plants he used before the war. America imported as usual, but plants generally traveled in bad condi- tion. In 1916 the trade was very bad. Germans bought some plants, but at the lowest possible prices. England likely got no plants at all, and the exportations to America that year were disastrous, not half the plants reaching their des- tination in good condition and not half the amounts of invoices being paid. Sweden, Norway and Denmark have been good customers all the time and plants traveled well to these countries. The years 1917 and 1918 were the worst of the war. "I am pleased to let you know that the nurseries in Ghent and vicinity have 14 The Florists' Review Dbcbmbib 19, 1918. not been damaged by actions of war, the armistice being signed when our troops stood before Ghent and on our place no fighting took place." Another Grower's Version. "Horticulture was the worst of all trades during the war," wrote E. Bracke, of Ghent, to the Horticultural Advertiser, "depending on an export trade. Two countries, France and the British Isles, fell away at the beginning and, what was worse, what had been sent out at the last period could not be paid. Export to the United States was al- lowed, the amount of the payment to be put down in the Banque Beige pour I'Etranger in London, which allowed us a share of it; but to our sorrow the year after even this branch was forbidden altogether. In the last two years no ex- porting was allowed except to Germans and to such neutral countries as Holland, Scandinavia and Switzerland on special conditions, as that we guarantee the whole amount should be paid on terms via the bank at Berlin; wherefore we had to deposit in a designated military office in money fifty per cent of the in- voices before we were allowed to ship. Several firms would not deposit any money whatever and had to give up this branch of export. Prices went down with a rush, to the profit of the German importers, and thousands of plants were thrown away or burned. Then occurred the scarcity of plants this last season and made the prices jump 100 per cent. Hope to Resume. "Add to this men taken away and obliged to work for the enemy, no glass, no paint, no benzine, no oil, and the worst of all, no coal, and you will won- der with us how it is possible that there is a living plant to be found. "Of course the nurseries all around have suffered awfully, but as plucky Belgians we have stuck to it. Although several places are empty and others only have half as many plants as they should have, there is sufficient material left to restart and rebuild our trade. Undoubt- edly we are thrown back for several years and hard work and great sacrifices will be required from us, but, like our army, we will resist and prove that we are worthy of our race. "Over here all nurserymen are short of cash and are anxious to get their money in on bills which are overdue. We also will be unable to stand those long credits which we allowed before and it would be most obliging for us if your trade paper would give a wink to its readers to pay up like one man for what is overdue and prepare for busi- ness with cash in the future. ' * HEART-TO-HEART I NEW YORKEES TAI.K IT OVER. Discuss Prevailing Prices. There was a meeting of the trade interests in and around New York city, at the rooms of the Pan-Hellenic Club, 56 West Thirtieth street, December 16, called by retail interests, which was largely attended by growers, whole- salers and retailers. It was a wide open meeting. Consequently there was a big attendance, possibly 250 all told. The object of the meeting was not stated in the call, but everybody in attendance divined that it had to do with the sup- posedly high prices prevalent in the flower market. Therefore interests high and low were represented. Of course there had to be a chairman and George D. Nicholas was the choice of the meeting. He filled the bill ex- actly. To Ward W. Smith, secretary of the New York Wholesale Protective As- sociation, was delegated the office of secretary and he easily made good. The preamble to the proceedings was ably delivered by a personality whose retire- ment prevented identification, but it did not make much difference; the meeting was "on." Mr. Nicholas called attention to the fact that the gathering represented all the administrative elements of the flo- rists' business, and assured everybody that the only thing to be discussed was the condition of market supply, in which, undoubtedly, all present were in- terested, and, incidentally, the prices which have been and are prevailing. Through the chairman's address the object of the meeting was fully demon- strated and the "grill" proceeded. Retailers' Views. Charles H. Brown, for the retailers, told how distressing it was to reply to customers' protests against the high prices of roses, carnations and other flowers, and expressed it as his opinion that non-stability of prices forced this condition. He realized, he said, that the expenses of growers were doubled as re- gards production, but said uncertainty in prices tends to block business. Max Schling expressed the opinion that the growers who regularly ship to the New York market sacrifice their local interests through the lure of out- side markets, thus creating shortages in the home market, action which was to be deplored. George E. M. Stumpp reviewed condi- tions, but, after all, he said, we are in the flower business to live and to make a living, and to attain this education as to the requirements is an essential. Wholesalers and Growers. Charges that flowers were sold at re- tail by wholesalers were denied by Harry Biedel, with applause from the wholesale bench. Philip F. Kessler took the standpoint of grower and wholesaler, in both of which sections he could qualify, that cost of production was responsible for the high prices of flowers now prevail- ing. The chairman expressed appreciation of Mr. Kessler 's remarks, but scored what he said was a bunch of "para- site" wholesalers whose interests were not legitimate or essential to the mar- ket, and who speculated to the disadvan- tage of the retailer. E. J. Hession gave a little talk, based on real common sense. He spoke of the advanced cost in all lines and he did not except the new suit which the chair- man wore that evening; therefore it was not to be supposed that flowers could es- cape the era of high prices now pain- fully apparent. President Totty, of the S. A. P., de- fended the growers and impressed upon the retailers the fact that they should seek to pass along to the consumer the burden of the extra cost of flowers, just as producers and dealers in all other lines are doing; such a course is equi- table and it is small matter whether the public has any objection, as the supply is exceedingly short. Benefits Accruing. Percy B. Rigby, of the S. S. Pennock Co. ; Eugene Dailledouze, Charles Weber, of Lynbrook; John B, Nugent, Frank H. Traendly, Chas. Schenck and Frank R. Pierson all made addresses, the con- sensus of their remarks being that the laws of supply and demand are chiefly responsible for the present prices of flowers, but that such prices are not without precedent in times when war conditions were not a factor. It cannot be said that nothing was ac- complished at the meeting, as it was evi- dent that the heart-to-heart discussion had removed many clouds from an at- mosphere which had become thick with misunderstanding and distrust. J. H. P. POLLWORTH'S ANKUAI. HUNT. To escape the "flu" and to get away from the strain it caused when the sup- ply was inadequate to fill orders and the best-natured customers were kicking be- cause they could not get enough stock, C. C. Poliworth, of the C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee, literally "took to the woods" at Thanksgiving time. Of course, as has been his custom for a number of years, Mr. Pollworth hied himself to that part of the Badger state where deer are thickest and, as he ex- presses it, "picked off a good-sized one as he was trying to get through the lines." Mrs. Pollworth accompanied him and a 20-mile sleigh ride to the railroad station was enjoyed by both of them. Mr. Pollworth is back on the job again and feeling fit for another siege of busi- ness— that is, until the fish begin to bite next spring. Venison dinners have been numerous in Milwaukee florists' circles since Mr. Pollworth returned. BEGONIAS DROP LEAVES. The leaves of our begonias turn dark and soft, as if scalded, and gradually drop off until only a bare stem is left. If cut back, they sometimes repeat the process, but more frequently' die. Is this trouble caused by disease or by too much or too little water f R. F. C— Idaho. I should say that you are keeping your begonias too wet, both at the root and on the foliage. At this season they like a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, with full sun, and it is better to keep them a trifle on the dry side. On no account should the plants be sprayed over. When watering, be careful to dampen the foliage as little as possible. They like fresh air on all possible occa- sions and prefer a dry to a moist atmos- phere. I do not think your plants have any disease. G. W. jj^l(»»wf»^wc»*1WT'.""J'?^.-.)hii'!-''3>r''^'*i iiU,-i."i'^BPV^*l'^Tp; ^"^■•■■^r\^.l','r'7^:!ry n-^'x-jr.'t^y — ,':. • . • Dbcbmbbr 19, 1918. The Florists^ Review 15 HXJBBYINa HOME. Transports and Trains Take Them. A continuous stream of American sol- diers, who have been at the front in France and Belgium, some wounded and some not, is arriving at Atlantic sea- ports, principally New York. These men, of course, are not being imme- diately released from the army. The wounded are sent to hospitals and con- valescent camps; the others go to the training camps where they will await demobilization. The men who were in training at the cantonments when the war was halted are gradually being re- leased and are going to their homes. Hundreds of thousands of young men thus are being returned to their peace- time occupations. Among these thou- sands are many members of our trade. Some have been returned from Europe; others are sent home from camps. The movements of these young men are of interest to the trade. Send in their names and something about them for the page The Review devotes each week to the fighting florists. Sergeant Deutscher Returns. Jacob M. Deutscher returned to Phila- delphia December 12, after sixteen months in the service. Mr. Deutscher was a sergeant in the 312th Field Ar- tillery, stationed at Camp Meade, near Baltimore, Md. He was assigned to special service on several occasions, carrying out his orders successfully de- spite difficulties that had to be over- come. Sergeant Deutscher has been hon- orably discharged. He is in splendid physical condition, ready to devote all his energies to the distribution of cut flowers at the Philadelphia "Wholesale Florists' Exchange. Phil. H. Oronbeck's Two Sons. May 15, 1917, which was shortly after this country got into the European war, Paul C. Gronbeck, son of H. Gronbeck, Mechanicsburg, Pa., enlisted in the army and was assigned to the Quarter- Walter H. Gronbeck. Serg. J. M. Deutscher. master's Corps, at Washington. Pro- motions came until he was a first ser- geant and in August of this year he was recommended for the officers' training school at Camp Lee, Va. November 30, after the fighting was over, he received a commission as second lieutenant, but, as he was not assigned to a company, he is now at home helping his father. Walter Gronbeck, another son of Mr. Gronbeck, was called for service Feb- ruary 25 and was sent to Camp Meade, Md. He was assigned to Company B, 304th Ammunition Train, 79th Division, and left July 14 for overseas service. He is still there. Howard M. Earl's Officer-Sons. When the United States entered the war in April, 1917, John Howard Earl and Douglas Earl, sons of Howard M. Earl, of Bolgiano & Co., Washington, enlisted in the U. S. Army as privates. Both were sent overseas with the first contingents of the American Expedi- tionary Forces. Since that time both have risen from the ranks step by step until now the first named is Lieut. John Howard Earl, in command of Company G, 111th Infantry, 80th Division, with the Army of Occupation that has just crossed the Bhine into Germany. Doug- las Earl is a second lieutenant with Com- pany K, 320th Infantry, 28th Division, which is with the army corps that is act- ing as a reserve to the Army of Occu- pation. Ideut. Swenson Leaves Army. Lieutenant Hilmer V. Swenson is home from the war. Lieutenant Swen- son is well known to florists all over the United States aa an expert in florists' advertising; he did a large business in supplying advertising specialties under the name of the Hilmer V. Swenson Co. until he was drafted and sent to the ranks at Camp Grant. But this was no place in which to keep a good man down and Swenson soon was a noncommis- sioned officer and later was commis- sioned as lieutenant. For the last six months he has been at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex. He was given his discharge last week and is back in Chicago. W. W. Webster Betums. Private Wendell W. Webster, son of A. W. Webster, of Webster's Greenhouses, Ceutralia, 111., has returned to his home in that city from the training camp at Bradley Polytechnic Institute, Peoria, 111. Young Mr. Webster enlisted in June and entered the service in October. He was a member of the Students' Army Training Corps and his company was the first to be discharged from that camp. His business experience is in the florists ' trade exclusively. He belongs to the Elks' lodge and to several other frater- nal orders. Lieut. Patterson Manages Paper. Several weeks ago, in fact, just be- fore the armistice brought an end to hostilities, Col. Charles Miller, comman- dant of Camp Pike, near Little Bock, Ark., called in his staif and suggested that the camp ought to have a news- paper. A canvass of the personnel was made and among the officers were found several whose peace-time occupations were editing and managing newspapers. Among them was Lieut. Kellogg M. Pat- terson, formerly connected with The Re- view. Lieutenant Patterson was made business manager of the paper, which was named The Camp Pike Carry On. In the first issue, dated November 21, Lieu- tenant Patterson tells of getting the pa- per started. After the managers of the different departments had been selected and activities begun, it was found that the plans of the publishers were too mod- est. Advertising patronage was so large Paul C. Gronbeck. 16 The Florists^ Review Dbcbmbeb 19, 1918. that the size of the paper was increased from twelve to sixteen pages, and the number of subscriptions caused the or- der to the printer to be changed from 10,000 to 20,000 copies. The Camp Pike Carry On is the most pretentious of any of the camp papers, and compares with any New York or Chicago daily, both as to the amount of news, the illustra- tions and advertising. No small part of its success is attributed by Lieutenant Patterson to the whole-hearted support of the business men of Little Eock and the Little Eock Chamber of Commerce, but it is suspected that what has been accomplished is the result of the hard work of Lieutenant Patterson and his colleagues. HOSES FOR EASTEK. Kindly advise me when to give heat to the following roses, so as to bring them into bloom for Easter: Dorothy Perkins, Excelsior and Baby Tausend- schoen. What temperature do they re- quire? These plants were grown in pots all summer. G. E. N. — N. Y. benches with wood ashes. Can you tell me the reason for the Scott Key plants not producing as they should and state what is wrong with the blooms f E. V. B.— N. M. Easter comes late in 1919 and plants which were pot-grown through the sum- mer can always be depended upon to force better than such as have been lifted from the field and potted in the late fall. Baby Tausendschoen will not require so long a period as Dorothy Per- kins and Excelsior. I do not know what heat you have at your command, but those roses will be all the better for not being subjected to hard forcing. I would suggest starting Dorothy Perkins and Excelsior the first week in January and Tausendschoen ten to fourteen days later. Give a temperature of 45 degrees to 48 degrees at first. When the growth is well started, the temperature can be increased 10 degrees. The plants will stand a minimum of 60 degrees, but are better grown 5 degrees cooler. If the plants come along too rapidly, owing to a warm spring, such as we sometimes have, it is easy to move them into a slightly cooler house to hold them back. I need hardly say tfiat pot-grown plants will require an abundant water supply and regular feeding until the flowers start to open. C. W. SCOTT KEY A SUMMER ROSE. I am growing a few Francis Scott Key roses in the same house with Ophelia, Sunburst, Cecile Brunner and Hoosier Beauty. These roses all do exceptionally well except the Keys. The buds of the latter turn blue and in some cases never open, but get dry and become worth- less, so they have to be cut off. Some of the plants have yellow foliage, while others have perfectly healthy foliage, but the buds are the same on all the plants, whether the foliage is yellow or healthy. I feed my roses bone dust and manure water and carefully sprinkle the Eose Francis Scott Key loves hot weather and is fine from late spring un- til fall. It is a splendid summer rose, but poor and unsatisfactory in winter and usually acts as it is doing in your case. Substitute some other variety if you want winter flowers, but retain it if the flowers produced in the summer are of equal importance. I think a rose like Killarney Brilliant would prove much more profitable for you. C. W. ROSES LOSING FOLIAGE. I have some White Killarney and Ophelia roses which have been on the bench the third year. I did not rest the plants in the summer this season, as they did not do well last winter, but they did well during the summer and fall. Now, however, the plants are los- ing a good deal of foliage. They have had no food since October 17 and I have been keeping them on the dry side the last few weeks. Kindly let me know how to treat them and when to feed them again. O. B. — Minn. The fact that you are keeping your roses dry now would account for some . loss of foliage. You cannot rest your plants now and expect to get much bloom from them this winter; but if you run a lower temperature, keep the plants drier, do some judicious pruning and start them up toward spring, you will get a fine crop. Eoses, however, are much cheaper then than in the winter. If you decide to rest your plants, the temperature can be reduced to 35 or 40 degrees. You can hardly expect a good winter crop from plants which flowered all summer and have had no rest what- ever, but it would not help matters to start feeding now. Better rest your plants until February, then start them up, and, once they are in active growth, you can commence feeding them. The sun will then be growing in power and not decreasing, as it is now. Feeding must be done with extreme caution while the days are short. C. W. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Chicago, 111. — Notices sent to the cred- itors of William Langhout, bankrupt, by Sidney C. Eastman, referee in bank- ruptcy, announce that the first dividend will be declared at a meeting to be held at the referee's oflice, room 907 Monad- nock building, 53 West Jackson boule- vard, at 10 a. m., December 27. The dividend will be payable within ten days after that date at the office of the Cen- tral Trust Co., trustee of the estate. At the same time the receiver of the prop- erty will make his final report. Chicago, 111. — Notice has been given that John Evert, bankrupt chrysanthe- mum and vegetable grower, has effected a composition with his creditors and ap- plied for confirmation and discharge. Judge Landis will hear objections, if any, December 27 and issue an order. It is understood that Mr. Evert 's mother has provided the funds to pay creditors 50 cents on the dollar. Flushing, N. Y. — It is announced that the greenhouse property at Whitestone avenue and Higgins lane, recently con- ducted by Knight & Struck and for- merly by H. D. Darlington, is to be sold January 8 under foreclosure proceedings, representing the second mortgage. The plant consists of about 25,000 feet of glass on which there is a first mortgage of $15,000. ANNOUNCES QUARANTINE. This is the announcement of the plant quarantine sent to the press through the weekly bulletin of the Department of Agriculture: NEW PLANT QUARANTINE TO GUARD AGAINST INSECT PESTS AND DISEASES. A quarantine, ■with regulations goTerning the Importations of nursery stock and other plants and seeds into the United States as a protec- tion against the introduction of insect pests and plant diseases, has been signed by the Sec- retary of Agriculture, D. F. Houston. The order, known as Quarantine No. 37, will become effectlTe on and after June 1. 1919, and the regu- lations under it ■will supersede those now In force gOTeming the importation of such stock. Under the terms of this quarantine and regu- lations, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plant products imported for medicinal, food, or manufacturing purposes, and field, vegetable, and flower seeds may be imported without per- mit or other restrictions. Other classes of plants for propagation permitted . entry, includ- ing certain bulbs, rose stocks, fruit stocks, cuttings, and scions, and seeds of fruit, forest, and other ornamental and shade trees, and all hardy perennial ornamental shrubs, may be im- ported only in accordance with the permit and other requirements of the regulations. The entry of these classes of plants Is represented by experts to be essential to the floriculture and horticulture of this country under existing conditions. The regulations permitting the entry of the restricted classes of plants, as noted, are simi- lar to those hitherto in force and take into account the classifloation of countries into those maintaining inspection and certification of nurs- ery stock in accordance with the requirements of the plant quarantine act and countries which have not made provision for such compliance with the act. Copies of the quarantine and regulations soon will be available for distribution. That surely is nothing to alarm any- body; not a word about the palms, azaleas and general nursery stock the American public are not going to be allowed to have from abroad any more! PRIMULA OBCONIOA. When should Primula obconica be plfinted to obtain the best plants tor the trade? J. M. K.— Wis.

Susan Margrave. OtTR GOOD GOVERNMENT. In the Florida Grower for December is an article on castor bean culture in Horida and its practical failure there nder government auspices and super- ision. It seems to the writer that a ;oTernment department that can make uch a failure in this matter probably s equally weak on the proposition to xclude all growing plants under the uarantine to become effective next une. I would call special attention to the tatement, in the article, that a fungous isease is supposed to have been im- lorted on the seeds. This lack of cau- ion in an importation from the East ndies, in contrast with the official at- itude toward European stock that is lore thoroughly inspected than any- hing grown in this country, is funny. We have suffered about enough from he pernicious activities of swivel chair heorists tampering with practical mat- ers. This quarantine and the outrage- us mismanagement of the coal situa- ion are examples in point. A. H. Graham. AGAINST HEAVY ODDS. Fourteen years ago the sales of the Marshall Floral Co., Marshall, Mo., for he month of December amounted to 15.50. The credit of the firm was not ufficient to enable it to purchase a ozen roses and the stockholders, who ad invested the sum of $12,000 in the ndertaking, were discouraged. They id not feel any better when I told them t would take almost a year and a good eal of money before we would be in a osition to do business. I had to work gainst prejudice among the stockhold- rs as well as lack of confidence on the art of the public in starting. The first ear's business netted $1,500. Last ear's business reached $10,000. I have urchased stock from the different mem- ers of the company until I now own a ontroUing interest. Last year the con- ition was such that we must either pend several thousand dollars in re- airs, go out of business or rebuild. We hose the latter course and have just ompleted the new range at a cost of 13,000. We own half of one city block. The ifKee and garage front north and the irhole plant is well back from the street, eaving fine grounds for lawn and plant- ng. While our greenhouses do not over so much space as the old plant, he office, service building, etc., are arge enough to take care oi four times he amount of glass we now have and were built to allow for growth. The whole place is modern. The only old material used was the bricks, glass and lome heating pipes. The John C. Mon- inger Go. constructed theplant under the direction of W. A. "Walker. The wrecking was started June 20 and the new houses were planted August 15, the whole plant being completed Septem- ber 18. It took both nerve and money in these times to undertake a proposition of this kind in a town of less than 5,000. We have enough coal and wood to last un- til Mar6h and our stook looks well. The Missouri Colony for the Feeble Minded, a state institution, has attempt- ed to go into the commercild florists' business here, but the people^U not ap- prove and the great majo^H remain loyal to us. However, wc ipftt no ef- fort to compete with thil eoneeiU. The wholesale florists of Kansas City will not sell to this institution, but one in St. Louis supplies the stock. We run a front page ad daily in our local paper, also in the best weekly paper in the SOLANTJMS NOT FRUITING. Please advise me in regard to my Jerusalem cherries. I planted the seed January 23 and the plants are now in 4-inch pots, but many of them have no berries. Do you think I pinched out the buds too longf Do these plants re- quire a high temperature and plenty of water? The leaves fall from some of them. H. E. C— O. You did wrong in pinching your so- lanums. This is the reason your plants have failed to fruit. When you pinched out the tops, you destroyed the flowers and future fruits. Seed sown as early as January ^3 should have produced big, bushy plants in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, loaded with fruit. Our solanums sown in March are in these sizes of pots and almost weighed down with fruit. An- other year plant your solanums out in the field, pot up early in September, do not do any pinching at all, and you should have large plants and an abun- dance of fruit. Solanums do not need a high temperature, but like plenty of water. C.

Rarely has editorial taste been ex- hibited with more felicity than in the selection of the subject for the cover page of the Christmas number of The Review. Cleveland florists recognized the picture at once and feel gratified at the favor shown them. It harks back to the big fiower show in 1915, and both design and picture are suggestive of the creative genius of Fra Fred Brown, of the J. M. Gasser Co. Mac. CONSERVATION OF FLOWERS. Conservation of fiowers is, indeed, a new kind of conservation. During the last year conservation of every descrip- tion has been forced upon the florist by the war, and now comes the necessity for conserving his product, flowers. The need is only temporary, however, let us hope. The present supply of flowers in the Sixth City is so inadequate to the de- mand that the publicity committee, of which H. P. Knoble is chairman, deemed it imperative to call a meeting of the florists for the purpose of discussing the situation. The gathering was held at the HoUenden December 13 and was made up of the representative members of the trade of the city and its environs. The proper relationship of selling price to cost was first thoroughly treated, evolving the conclusion that, though a few of the leading fiorists were awake to new conditions, the majority were not living up to their opportunities and were unjust to themselves and our business because of their tardiness in raising their prices commensurately with the ad* vance in costs. The problem of making the extremely low supply of flowers fill all orders, however, occupied attention. It was disclosed that every fiorist was daily refusing orders because of his in- ability to fill them, owing to the des- perate scarcity of stock. The local wholesale market could only partially supply the need and distant sources of supply could lend little assistance. Each retailer present explained his par- ticular method of coping with the situa- tion, the consensus favoring a larger use of accessories and prepared stock. The necessity of a higher type of salesman- ship was also pointed out as an impor- tant factor. Instead of selling designs made up entirely of flowers, those con- sisting of more plentiful items, such as prepared oak sprays, magnolias, laurel, boxwood and ivies, and baskets in which plants, ferns and other things could be used, all of which would require only a minimum amount of fresh flowers, should be judiciously offered. Thus would a goodly degree of genuine con- servation in flowers be effected and the trying conditions greatly alleviated. The meeting was held at the psycholog- ical moment and without doubt much good was accomplished. Its pressing im- portance should have called out a greater attendance of the smaller flo- rists, but as yet there has been evolved no recipe for getting them in large num- bers to meetings designed especially for their benefit. It is to be hoped, however, »• ?Tt' .■■ 18 The Florists^ Review Dbcbubeb 19, 1018. that persistence in this direction will ul- timately win out. Mac. THE ABSENT ONES. In the homes of many florists this Ohristmas there will be vacant chairs; for some, perhaps, forever. Broken family circles will gather around accus- tomed festive boards with thoughts upon distant son and brother. Again the old stories will be retold and the many youthful pranks recounted. In person absent, in spirit the young sol- dier-heroes will be present. And min- gled with the affection of parents and the love of brothers and sisters will be the proud consciousness that they and theirs have done their duty. Fate appears to call upon some gen- erations to make heavy sacrifices in or- der that succeeding ones may enjoy re- pose and peace. And being a compara- tively new business, particularly in America, for the first time in its history the organized trade has borne the heavy burdens imposed by war. Well has its duty been performed in the conservation of vital commodities, in the giving of its treasure and in the sending forth of its young men, and well, indeed, may future members of the profession in the years to come marvel at its emergence so little warped and injured. The time of trial is over, but there is still much to be done in the work of reconstruc- tion. The part that the commercial florist, with his vast ranges of glass, is going to take in restoring the maimed and physically incapacitated to indus- trial usefulness will serve forever to prevent the application of the term non- essential to his calling. The history of the progress of the trade will have few pages so interest- ing to future readers as those dealing with the problems brought about by the war. And inscribed in gold upon them will be the deeds of our soldier-members. Whoever they are and wherever thej may be, their fellow-craftsmen unani- mously extend them their best wishes for a merry Christmas and happy New Year. Mae. PUBUOITY rOR FLOWERS. President Wilson is proving an excel- lent publicity man for flowers ; he is get- ting flowers into the news columns of the daily papers even via the cable, now that he is in France. Note the following interesting bit by the Associated Press, describing an incident of the President 's day December 15: "The President visited the tomb of Lafayette in the Piopus cemetery while returning home after the morning church service. No ceremony had been arranged at the cemetery and the Presi- dent went accompanied only by Briga- dier General Harts, a secret service op- erative and a French officer assigned to him as a personal aide. The President, removing his hat, entered the tomb car- rying a large floral wreath. "As the President placed the wreath on the tomb he bowed his head and stood silent before the resting place of the famous Frenchman who helped America in her fight for liberty. He made no speech whatsoever. He then returned to the Murat residence. "President Wilson insisted on taking his own wreath, contrary to the custom here, by which the florist delivers the wreath and the donor later makes the visit and leaves his card. The President sent Admiral Grayson to buy the wreath, and after some difficulty in explaining to the florist, who could not understand why the traditional custom was being broken, obtained it and drove to the tomb. On his personal card President Wilson wrote this inscription: 'In mem- ory of the great Lafayette, from a fel- low-servant of liberty.' " BUSINESS BOOMINO. Transfer Orders Increase. Nothing has done so much to increase the interest in the transfer order de- partment as has the publication of fig- ures showing the volume of business be- ing done by florists who are pushing this branch — the business, both incoming and outgoing, exceeds the estimates of even the most enthusiastic. Grandy the Florist, Norfolk, Va., states that his October business with other retail florists, mail, telephone and telegraph, amounted to $1,322.05 and consisted of 146 orders. Widely Distributed. The Grandy books show that the 146 October orders were distributed as fol- lows: LoulsYille, Ky. Richmond, Va. East Orange, N. J. Greensboro, ,N.. C. Monroe, La. Baltimore, Md. Columbia, S. 0.

One of the direct results of realization of the growth and extent of the transfer business has been a large increase in the Pink Section of The Review, devoted to the advertisements of those who are pushing this feature of flower selling. Last week and again this week the Pink Section contained twenty-four pages. FOR A CHARGE ACCOUNT. Henry Penn, Boston, has just designed what he believes to be an extraordinarily good form to be filled out by those cus- tomers who want charge accounts. Mr. Penn is always ready to help along the good work of putting the florists' busi- ness on a better basis and has sent one of the application blanks to The Re- view with the notation: "We find this form the simplest and right to the point. All florists are privileged to use it. " A copy can be secured from Mr. Penn for the asking. THAT ROAD THROUGH HEAVEN'S. Through the property of Florist Thomas Heaven, near Benton Harbor, Mich., there is a road that autoists for- merly called the "road through Heav- en's." But not now. It happened this way: Mr. Heaven's property lies along the Paw Paw river. At both ends of the property, on which stand Mr. Heaven's home and greenhouses, there «re main roads, each leading to a bridge across the stream. It is some distance to a cross road and the cross road has a rough reputation, or a reputation for roughness, so naturally it is avoided. Thirteen months ago one of the main thoroughfares, known as the Lake Shore road, was closed while a new bridge was being built and autoists drove as far as the bridge in spite of signs of warn- ing, then turned around and, instead of going back to the rough cross road, used the private road that runs through the Heaven property, thus saving time and enjoying the well kept drive. When the bridge was finished the other main high- way was closed to build a new bridge over the stream at that point. For a time Mr. Heaven was glad to have the autoists use his private drive, but when the road commissioners re- fused to make the repairs made neces- sary by the constant travel, he balked and bars were placed across the road, which is three-quarters of a mile in length, in front of his home, and made it a toll road. Mrs. Heaven is the toll gate keeper. The autoists are assessed as follows: Automobiles, 25 cents; "Henrys," 10 cents; soldiers, sailors and doctors, free. Half of the proceeds go to the Red Cross and the other half is applied to main- taining the road. One guess as to the new name for the road — it still begins with "H." ASK ME! ASKMEI! F. J. M,, Pa. — Bulbs would give quickest returns. Sweet peas should do well. Carnations are out of the ques- tion. 8. B., Pa. — It is not the begonia but your treatment which would have in- terest. C. A.

It is impossible to guarantee the in- sertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions are received BY 4 P. M. TUESDAY. Besults bring advertising. The Review brings results. Fathers' day will not down, but at- tempts to push it only bring a laugh. Geranium cuttings, although pro- duced in large quantities this season, are far short of the demand. There never was a Christmas at which the supply of greens was so small when compared to the demand. What the trade needs is quality — there are too many growers who seek maximum production without regard to the quality of their stock. There seems to be no surplus of any- thing this season, except work; there is plenty of that to go around among all who are capable of doing it. The mild weather so far this season is doing far more than any government activity ever did to conserve the fuel supply. Growers are duly thankful. If a plantsman wants to become abso- lutely independent, let him always do unto others as he would be done by, es- pecially in the matter of shipping only such plants as he would be glad to re- ceive. Growing palms from seeds is not a business attractive t6 Americans. It takes too long to get the crop ready for market; your American plantsman wants to finish a crop every four months, not every five years. It will be a good many years before the government of the United States hears the last of the plant exclusion or- der. The governments of several other countries are pretty sure to take a hand in the matter as soon as larger questions are settled. The average florist, like the small dealer in other lines, still awaits the re- appearance of the demand he knows ex- ists; he does not seek to develop and di- rect new demand. Those who have the ability to create business soon pass out of the small-merchant class. Root all the geraniums you can. Our stock seldom looks to others as good as it looks to us. R. Vincent, Jr., White Marsh, Md., was 75 years of age December 16. 'i HE supply of canna roots for spring, 1919, is the smallest in many years. Good gracious, but won't there be a tremendous lot of wedding work when the boys come home I Nothing could stimulate production to a greater degree than is being done by the present heavy demand and high prices. If you can not fill an order right away, do as you would be done by, ac^owledge its receipt and state when it will be filled. The supply houses never were so bare of merchandise as now; it will take them many months to restore their stocks to normal size. The income tax laws have forced to keep books many florists who never did so before, but they have not got all of them to the point of knowing how much they owe. Why should a florist complain that he is not popular with his competitors? If he were popular with them, would it not be a sign that his measure had been tak- en and that his competition was not to be feared? One of the interesting and significant facts is that in practically every bank- ruptcy case the debtor's list of liabili- ties fails to correspond with the cred- itor's claims; in almost every case the liabilities prove to be larger than the books show, while the assets shrink. Curiously, a few months ago, when prices were low, everybody was urging that we get more money for our mer- chandise, but today, with prices higher than ever before, still nobody seems happy. Note that in New York this week a mass meeting of the trade was called on account of having too much of what everybody, almost, was crying for not long ago. WOBEINO OB BUZZING? A business man had his desk covered with papers and he hurried from one task to another. To a friend who was standing near, he said: "I am terribly busy, you see." "You are not busy," said the friend. "You are only con- fused. ' ' Much of our busyness is mere confu- sion, and our activity beating the air. Motion is not necessarily work. Think it over. Are you doing some- thing or merely buzzing around? "ONLY." The salespeople in the flower stores used to say, in answer to the query, "How much?" "Only four dollars I " And if the customer was pretty nearly sold anyway, or if the price was any- where near a right price, the deed was done, and all that was left was wrap- ping and delivery. But now the salesperson doesn't say that. Salespersons are very human, and usually in private life good bargainers and careful managers. So now when the price is asked the salesman or sales- woman says: "Four dollars — ain't it awful?" And the customer agrees heartily that it is. But it may be that it is fostering in the patron a confidence he never had before in salespeople. And after the war has been won for a little while, per- haps our old friend "Only" will return and we shall have confidence in him. For we shall have been through the mill with the salesman, and know "only" prices when we see them. EVEBYTHINa IN BEQUEST. All things seem conspiring to make the season a big one for the trade.

Chicago never has had so strong a market as in the week now under re- view. From December 11 to December 17 Christmas prices have prevailed; in- deed, prices have not been so stiff at Christmas for several years as they have been in the last week or ten days and there is no one in the market who can remember a time when high prices have prevailed for such a length of time. A change, however, is beginning to be apparent. The excitement has sub- sided. Buyers have found that the rise in the market was more than a flurry and many of them are changing their method of operations to meet the con- ditions. Quite a few buyers have stopped ordering and the majority have reduced the size of their orders; stand- ing orders in many cases have been cut down or canceled. It is to be consid- ered that the market always is quiet just before the Christmas rush, and the same report might possibly have been made had the price level been no more than normal this week. The commis- sion men are not unreservedly in favor of the high prices, believing that there comes a place where they will be harm- ful to the business, but the growers, who have been under high expense and reportedly without profit for a long time, urge that hay be made while the sun shines. They point out that the prices are justified by the fact that no flowers are being lost, either by whole- salers or retailers. The public is taking everything the market affords. The somewhat reduced demand, how- ever, is making it possible this week to fill a much larger percentage of the or- ders than it was possible to fill a week ago. Carnations are the shortest item on the list and, compared to normal prices at this season, carnation prices are the highest. There have not been enough to go around at 15 cents, which was the price for a good average grade in any color at the end of last week and the beginning of the present one. The man who wants the fanciest grade of roses and is willing to pay for them is not having much trouble in getting what he needs; the call for short to medium roses is much more robust and, naturally, the price is higher in propor- tion.

It cannot be said that there is an oversupply of any flower and the prices all along the line are much above those of this date in other years. Christmas orders are being booked in large numbers. The wholesalers are ex- ercising the privilege of selection, each according to his lights. Some houses are taking orders only within a given ra- dius, feeling that they need not this year assume the risks of the far dis- tances. Several are booking orders only from those who have been buying reg- ularly, and it seems to be the general idea to decline with thanks the order of the man who always makes a claim after each holiday shipment. Of course the buyer who has a reputation for be- ing slow pay has little chance under such conditions. It is quite likely, therefore, that the total number of orders booked may not be so large as recent conditions would lead one to think and that it will not be so difl&cult to fill orders as some ob- servers have been predicting. Most of the orders call for medium roses and it looks as though there would be an ade- quate supply for those who can use the higher-priced grades. No one can remember when there has been so little holly in Chicago the week before Christmas, nor can anyone re- member another year in which it took three 5-dollar bills to get a case of it. Bouquet green also is like the prover- bial hen's teeth, which were not much in evidence, but nobody seems to care; by general consent bouquet green has been listed among the nonessentials. There is no great amount of boxwood, but most of the buyers seem to have obtained what they need. Mistletoe equals all requirements. Workers Coming Back. One by one the young men are coming back from the training camps and, most- ly, going onto the old jobs. Every day a familiar face reappears. Henry Niebuhr, who, before entering the army, was chief accountant for the A. L. Randall Co., is back on the job again, having been released from the army. He was stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Joseph Carlin, who left the Fleisch- man Floral Co. to enlist in the navy, has been released from service at Nor- folk, Va., and is back with his former employers. Henry G. Wittbold, son of the Evans- ton florist, called on friends in the mar- ket the early part of the week in uni- form, with the gold bar of a second lieutenant on his shoulder. Mr. Witt- bold has been released from the army and goes on the officers' reserve. Allan Humason has returned east af- ter a short furlough. Mr. Humason is attached to the port of embarkation at Hoboken, N. J., and was one of those in charge of the sailing of the S. S. George Washington, on which President Wilson and his party went to France. Mr. Humason expects to be discharged from the service soon, at which time he will take up the lines he formerly sold. Hilmer V. Swenson, well known to the trade through his connection with flo- rists' advertising, is back. Mr. Swen- son was one of the first Chicagoans to enter the army and be commissioned as second lieutenant. He was retained in this country as an instructor. Mr. Swenson intends to enter the advertis- ing business again. Lieutenant G. F.

After a fortnight 's trip through Illi- nois, G. M. Reburn is at home for Christ- mas. He says everyone he called on is preparing for a big business.

He is 51 years of age. One of those who make daily trips to the market to purchase stock is J. C. Wolf, of the Armitage Tlower Shop, and, judging from the amount of stock he carries away with him, business in his neighborhood is excellent. Mr. Wolf says that, although he is located in a neighborhood where the people are not wealthy, they pay the price for what they want and do not quibble. Emil Buettner was 62 years of age December 14. Joseph Ziska & Sons are greatly handicapped during the present rush of holiday business by the Spanish in- fluenza having invaded their establish- ment, laying up five of their wire work- ers besides Joseph and Eaymond Ziska. Eaymond's condition is said to be seri- ous, while his brother expects to be back at work soon. Fred Felsch, the surviving partner of Felsch Bros., Maywood, is in ill health and will sell out, seeking the chance to get well again. The location is a good one. Visitors. Buyers from a distance continue to throng the market. There have been more trade visitors in the last two weeks than in any other like period in the his- tory of the market. Among the week 's visitors was Julius Snyder, of the B. A. Snyder Co., Boston. He says his visit was purely one of ex- ploration, because his concern does not normally do business y?est of Rochester. Mr, Snyder liked the looks of the Chi- cago market, even under the present condition of scarcity, remarking De- cember 16 that one of the several prin- cipal wholesalers here seemed to him to have handled as many roses that day as the Boston market will handle in a week this season. Accused of not be- ing literal, Mr. Snyder affirmed that he meant it, every word of it. Gust Eusch, of the wholesale cut flow- er and supply house of Milwaukee which bears his name, came here last week to look into the market condition for Christmas.

These buyers know that they are depended upon to support the market when it is too late to ship plants and cut flowers out of town for a holiday. They have got in the habit of taking chances on getting their stock at the last minute. Now, however, conditions are conpletely changed. There is not enough stock to go around. The late buyer, whether he be in town or out of town, suffers. He stands a poor chance of getting what he wants. It must be said in justice to these buyers that they have shown them- selves to be good sports. Time and again during the last three months these buyers have been caught, but they rare- ly whimper. There is no complaining, no rag-chewing, as the boys say, just a calm, quiet determination to lose no more business where brains and fore- sight will prevent it. Hustling. One of those delightful stories of suc- cessful business hustling was told at the store of H. Bayersdorfer & Co. last week. Here it is, in Mr. Bayersdorfer 's own words: "We received word that our immortelles were on the water. They had been lying at Marseilles since last July, not a steamer having sailed with general merchandise from that port in six months. We cabled to learn the name of the steamer. We got an answer and also learned that part of the cargo for the Pennsylvania Salt Co. would be discharged at this company's wharf here before the steamer un- loaded the balance of its cargo in New York. Here was our chance. We knew that if the immortelles went around to New York they would reach us too late for Christmas. We made special ar- EDWARD REID 1 I I We regret that, owing to the scarcity of flowers, it will I be impossible for us to supply other than our regular custo- I mers during the holidays.

Habermehl's Sons, who operate three handsome flower shops and a range of glass in this city. Mr. Habermehl, who is in close touch with the business^and jiyu wiMa. social life here, kindly gave his views on coming events in his firm's shop in the BellevOe-Stratford hotel a few days ago.

With plant hampers and baskets in supply, should a customer feel that cut flowers are expensive, we can offer a plant bas- ket, say, for $20, that will remain beau- tiful for many weeks." Various Notes. The Century Flower Shop will reopen early next month. Sergeant J. M. Deutscher, looking ex- ceedingly fit, has returned with an hon- orable discharge to push the interests of the Philadelphia Wholesale Florists' Exchange. Cornelius Van der Breggan, well rid of the "flu," is at work again helping the Robert Craig Co. get out its big Christmas stock of plants. William Berger's Sons arranged another pleasing window. It contained a water lily pond surrounded by droop- ing fronds, with a touch of color in the background. D. T. Connor believes that the Lord & Burnham Co. will reopen its Phila- delphia office next month. Harry Marchant has resigned his bank position and returned to his greenhouses at Ivy Hill. The M.

The scourge of pneumonia and influenza has kept stock swept clean down to rock bottom for funeral designs. We have a few good second-crop mums on the market still and they certainly are appreciated. We see a few good azaleas here and there, showing that we can grow them if we need to do so. Had the war lasted a few years longer, un- doubtedly we would have been produc- ing as many of this valuable plant as we need. Thus far the only novelty on the mar- ket this year in commercial quantities ia Felicia Agatha;a coelestis. This daisy is certainly one of the daintiest of cor- sage flowers. Grown from cuttings, it produces a supply of flowers all winter. The blooms are three-quarters of an inch in diameter, of a forget-me-not blue, with a pronounced white eye. This flower undoubtedly has come to stay in Nashville. The bulb business has been doll thus far, possibly because of the price of bulbs. There was no building during the last summer, because the powder plant took all of the carpenters. There are signs of a revival in building, how- ever, and if it comes, there should be a normal demand for outdoor stock again. Hardy ornamentals are moving slow- ly this fall, probably because there has been no building. Various Notes. The Joys had a fire in their Chatta- nooga store December 12. It was dis- covered at three o 'clock in the morning. No one knows how it started. The loss from fire and water amounts to some $750, but it is fully covered by insur- ance. The sales end of the store was not damaged, so business went forward as usual the next morning. Mrs. Gaetz, of KnoxviUe, wjio used to manage the store of th'e" "Crouch Co. there, is in charge of the Joys' store at Chatta- nooga.

Haury & Sons have a good display of excellent ferns in their window at pres- ent. Ferns are selling unusually well this fall. Geny Bros, are showing the cleverest imitation of orchids we have ever seen. They were so true to nature that one had to look twice to see that they were artificial. This firm is finding them of great value in making wreaths for ceme- tery use, putting one or two with the usual permanent material with excel- lent results. Mclntyre Bros, have replanted the shrubbery about their store, making it the most attractively planted piece of evergreen shrubbery in the city. They are having good business in this line this fall. Their regular cut flower busi- ness was never better than this season. F. B.

Brown Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., won its case against B. A. Holden & Co., Cincinnati, O., for pay- ment for 557 bags of beans sold to the latter in January. The beans were seized by the government and condemned by the government chemist and the Holden Co. refused to pay for them. A BILL for a pure seed law drafted by the agricultural extension depjvrtment of the Ohio State University and the State Board of Agriculture jointly is to be presented to the legislature of that state this winter. By its provisions dealers will be required to indicate on all packages of seeds sold the percentage of weed seeds and inert material included. THE KED CLOVER EMBABGO. The War Trade Board, at Wash- ington, December 12, raised the embargo on the export of red clover seed so as to permit British importers to secure the seed they had contracted for in this country. It is estimated that these contracts amount to 2,000,000 pounds. The permission was given with the pro- viso that none of the seed is to be sent to the continent. FBEE SEED DISTRIBUTION. During the fiscal year 1918, according to a late bulletin of the Department of Agriculture, there were distributed on congressional and miscellaneous requests 11,165,709 packages of vegetable seed and 2,188,818 packages of flpwer seed, or a total of 13,354,527 packages, each containing five packets of different kinds of seed. There were also distributed 12,- 473 packages of lawn-grass seed and 11,- 110 packages of improved narcissus and tulip bulbs. The seeds and bulbs were purchased on competitive bids, as here- tofore. Each lot of seed purchased was thoroughly tested for purity and via- bility before acceptance by the depart- ment and tests of each lot were conduct- ed on the department's trial grounds to determine trueness to type. XJ. S. SEED TESTS. According to the report of the acting chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, "dur- ing the year 16,838 samples of seed were received for test at the Washington lab- oratory and 11,349 at the five branch laboratories maintained in cooperation with state institutions. ' ' This is a larger number of samples than was tested In the previous year. "In the spring of 1918 seeds of red clover and redtop were collected for ex- amination for the presence of adulter- ants as well as to determine how fully the seed trade is complying with its agreement to label all field seeds with the percentage of pure Jive seed. This material will be examined and reported on later.

MICHELL CO., S18 Nirket Stttet, Philadelphia, Pa. to provide for a review of the terms of resale contracts and a revision of resale prices, by a disinterested agency. To Legalize Fixed Resale Prices. "Therefore, it is recommended that it be provided by law that if the man- ufacturer of an article produced and sold under competitive conditions de- sires to fix and maintain resale prices, he shall file with an agency designated by the Congress, a description of such article, the contract of sale and the price schedule which he proposes to maintain, and that the agency desig- nated by the Congress be charged with the duty, either upon its own initiative or upon complaint of any dealer or consumer or other party in interest, to review the terms of such contract and to revise such prices, and that any data and information needful for a deter- mination be made available to such agency. "Such legislation would seem to be in accord with the spirit of the times in that it is designed, by removing this perplexity, to promote the efiiciency of manufacturing and commercial institu- tions and so to serve the interest of the consuming public.

A. F. PXJBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Plans for 1919. There is no doubt that florists gener- ally have faced a rather poor condition of business this year. Our publicity committees realize that this is the main reason for the shortage, small though it be, in the $50,000 which it was expected could be raised for the first year of our campaign. We are over $4,000 short of planned requirements. The florists' industry has gone "over the top" in practically all other "drives" but its own. It would be unpatriotic to criticize, and yet it may be pointed out that the florists who did contribute to the fund are unanimously of opinion that busi- ness would have been much worse this year had it not been for the campaign. Being financially interested in our move- ment, they have made it their business, through inquiry and comparisons, to de- termine for themselves the value of our work. And they are satisfied to con- tinue their subscriptions for another year, and the year after, and then an- other year. There's faith for you! No Time Like the Present. We are now in the closing days of 1918. Florists are anticipating an un- usually good Christmas trade, and pros- pects for a prosperous year are exceed- ingly bright. It is a good time for all who have allowed the present year to pass without making a subscription to the fund to sit down and write a check for a 1919 contribution. Better still, fill out our form, sent on request, cover- ing an annual contribution for three years. A prominent retail florist said the other day, "Why make three or four years the term of the campaign! You may have my support as long as I am in business. The movement is the best ever instituted in the florists' industry, and should never stop. Why halt at an expenditure of $50,000, when $100,000 would double the benefit and put flowers where they ought to be — on every home table, every day in the year?" There's the rub. With a little less than our planned amount we have barely scratched the surface of possibility. But the scratching was deep, as we have discovered. With more money we could "brand" instead of "scratch" our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," on the public mind, and it would stay — as long as we renewed the branding. It is up to the trade to make this pos- sible. The committees have a fine working organization, but it is money only that will keep the machinery go- » FOREIGN SERVICE jmt HONOLULU, HAWAII TAYLOR, FLORIST Wireless and Gable Address. "FLORIST."

If there is any class of men who ought to feel at peace with the world and have nothing but good will toward their fel- lowmen at this Christmas season, it is we florists. Peace has brought to us the only thing we needed to make our sense of contentment complete — the lifting of the restrictions on our business. At the same time the demand for flowers never was greater, nor were prices better for the grower or retailer. We now have something on the munitions manufactur- ers, who have been waxing fat during the last four years. Their era of pros- perity is about past; ours is ahead of us. There is a fly in our ointment, but it won't stay there long. Stock, both cut and potted, is not in as large supply this Christmas as we could wish; in fact, there won't be enough to supply the demand. And it is discouraging to have to turn away customers. But what stock we have will bring just as much money as a larger supply did a year ago. For proof remember what happened at Thanksgiving, three weeks ago. This Christmas will bring into play all CHIGAGO DETROIT Central Floral Co.

LOUIS, MO. the ingenuity that is at the command of the resourceful florist. He will take what he has in the way of supply and make the most of it. And when it is considered that Christmas buyers will be more numerous and have become accus- tomed to paying the price demanded, there is a practical certainty that every- thing the flower store has in stock will be moved. The Cut Flower Supply. What would in most seasons be a fairly good supply of cut flowers is avail- able this year. There are many of the large growers who planted the usual number of roses, curtailing their produc- tion in other directions to meet the fuel restrictions. Carnations, too, will be in considerable supply. But the plants are conspicuous by their absence — absence in numbers, that is. There are lots of them, but not nearly the quantities that we could sell if we had them. With this situation confronting him, the resourceful man turned to the sup- ply houses for much of his Christmas stock. Euscus, roping, frieze, bells, stars, poinsettias and the other artificial things will be used to fill up the gap caused by the absence of the real things. These things are as closely associated with Christmas as are the greens. Lyco- podium is scarce and holly more so. Mis- tletoe is in something near a normal sup- ply. Prices on all this stock are higher than usual, as they are on everything else. But the customers paid the ad- vance at Thanksgiving and everyone cleaned up. The same conditions will prevail at Christmas. Keep Up the Advertising. While many of us, under present con- ditions, are sitting back waiting for the business to come to us, rather than going out after it, we all ought to remember that big things are just ahead. The leaders in the trade, who see farther than the end of their noses, did not elim- inate their Christmas advertising. In- stead they will consolidate the gains they have made and attack the public with more vigor, believing that the par- tial success already won should be turned into a complete victory for flowers at Christmas and all other times. The S. A. F. publicity campaign has been pointed so that the final and heav- iest broadside of the first year is being turned on the public to stimulate Christ- mas flower buying. Some 10,000,000 peo- ple buy and read the magazines that are carrying the Christmas command to "Say It with Flowers." Hundreds of florists will deliver the same message to their fellow townsmen through the local newspapers, many of them using the S. A. F. copy and illustrations. It is human nature to want the thing! we can't get and should there be more buyers than stock, the next holiday will 54 The Florists^ Review December 19, 1918.

T. D. mcmbors to use tlieir good jiulRnient in sending out F. T. D. orders to be filled in other towns. The scarcity of flowers and blooming plants warrants all our members to eliminate ns much as possible small orders amounting to $2 or $3, ns they will be hard to fill in some sections of the country.

Orders not been so scarce for many years. The markets are cleaned up early each day. What remains of the late chrysanthe- mums finds a good demand and the qual- ity of the stock is good. A few Major Bonnaffons are seen, but the majority are Chadwick and Golden Chadwick and Eaton. The supply of violets is suffi- cient to meet present demands, but the high prices keep down sales. Social events and parties have not yet started and the need of corsages has not been felt. Stevia is on the market and sells rapidly. The scarcity of carnations is felt throughout this locality and top prices for good stock are from 8 to 10 cents. Cypripediums and cattleyas are seen and callas are becoming more plen- tiful. Easter lilies are selling well. Sweet peas are not making much of a showing as yet. Roses hold much the same, with long-stemmed stock predomi- nating and bringing good prices, almost equal to those reached at Christmas. White roses are scarce, but there are plenty of pink. Columbia is the most popular, with September Morn a close second. Russell, Shawyer, Prima Donna, Champ Weiland, Sunburst, the Wards, Ophelia and the Killarneys are among the daily shipments and all sell well. Calendulas and mignonette move nicely, although the supply is not large. More than the usual demand is noticed this season for strawflowers, the better he- lichrysums bringing from $20 to $30 per thousand. A number of Christmas orders have been received and, according to present indications, it looks as though the Christmas trade would be heavy. The greenhousemen report that their stock of potted plants is in fine condi- tion, with a splendid assortment of Jeru- salem cherries, begonias, poinsettias, cyclamen, heathers and primulas. Christmap greens are not arriving in abundance and it is feared that the sup- ply may be limited. Various Notes. The store formerly occupied by Max the Florist, on Lyell avenue, will be re- opened during the week of December 15 by E. C. Colegrove, formerly of Child street. Mr. Brothers, until recently with the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland, O., is now with J. B. Keller Sons, as head designer. Among visitors to the trade this week were: George Brown, of Utica, N. Y.; H. E. Brandt, of Wertheimer Bros., New York; R. E. Blackshaw, vice-president of the Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind.; B. A, Snyder, of Boston, Mass., and E. H. McKerr, of Canandaigua, N. Y. The Rochester Florists' Association held its first meeting of the season December 9 at the Musicians ' Headquar- ters. Charles E. Zoller, a color pho- tographer of fine taste, gave an interest- ing lecture, with colored photographs, of California and the Pacific coast, to a large audience composed of members and their wives. The views were most interesting, all of the plates having been imported for Mr. Zoller 's work. Re- freshments were served at the close of the evening's entertainment. During the week new, up-to-date fix- tures and counter cases have been in- stalled in the new seed store of Hart & Vick, Inc., on Stone street. The wood- work is finished in quartered oak, the walls and ceiling are decorated attract- The Florists^ Review Dbcembeb 19, 1018. Member Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association i^ C?ki 146 S.

Everything points to abnormal scarcity and high prices for Christmas. Few growers are shipping heavy cuts of roses and prices have stiffened so that few short stems now go below $10, with the best grades of hybrid teas making $30 to $40 and American Beauty ap- proaching the dollar mark. There will be a fair cut of Hadley and other red varieties for the holidays and Columbia is steadily improving as the winter ad- vances.

Chrysanthe- mums are falling off in quality, but flowers unsalable a year ago are now realizing good prices. Lilies are in bet- ter supply. Callas have advanced to $25 and are quickly sold out. Violets are scarce and supplies of sweet peas and valley are limited. Marguerites are less plentiful and little snapdragon is seen. Of stevia there is a good supply. As- paragus sells well. Cattleyas are scarce and easily command $12 per dozen, with higher figures in sight. Pot-plant trade is good. There is an excellent supply of well grown plants and, owing to the high prices of cut flowers, retailers are pushing plants all they can. Cyclamens and begonias are the best sellers, but oranges, ardisias, heaths, Jerusalem cherries, poinsettias, primulas, freesias, etc., are all in de- mand. Various Notes. William H.

The wholesale market was fairly well supplied with stock, but the heavy local demand cleaned up the arrivals daily and many out-of-town orders had to be refused.

Wholesale and Retail Member Florists' Telegraph Delivery warm days the first part of the week brought an increased supply of flowers. Carnations were in limited quantities and the price went as high as $20 per hundred for the extra fancy stock, while the lowest price was $10 per hundred. The quality of the flowers was excellent. Roses, too, had a heavy call and there were some fine flowers to be had. Rus- sells, Ophelias and Columbias were the best, of course, while Wards and Killar- neys were close seconds, the latter being in smaller supply, however. A few late mums were in the market and the best brought $4 per dozen. Bulbous stock is scarce and Paper "Whites are up to $5 per hundred. Easter lilies and valley also have advanced in price, the supply being limited. Violets, usually abundant at this time of the year, are scarce and the demand holds the price up to $2 per hun- dred. Sweet peas also are in small sup- ply and choice stock brings high prices. There is a good supply of calendulas and they sell well. All greens have advanced in price, as the supply is limited. All the wholesalers say there is a big de- mand for Christmas supplies. Vaxious Notes.

Anticipation runs high that the com- ing Christmas season is to be the most fluccessful in the history of our busi- ness, owing to the reaction following the depression of the war. This expec- tation seems to be justified, inasmuch as many people who have been holding onto their money are now spending more freely. The thousands of soldier and sailor boys, also, who have returned from service in home and foreign fields, already have beg^n sending posies to their mothers, sweethearts and sisters, as if eager to make up for lost time; all of which augurs well for the trade. However, and this is an iinportant con- sideration, flowers of all varieties con- tinue scarce, while prices, of course, as a result are high. Various Notes. James J. Higgins says he is to have his "first real Christmas in twenty-one years. ' ' Accompanied by his family, he left December 15 to visit Mrs. Hig- gins' sister, Mrs. C. A. Hine, of the Winona hotel, "Winona, Minn. Mrs. Higgins and the two children will re- main for two months, while her husband will leave for home during the holidays, stopping en route in Chicago to attend the semiannual convention of the sales- men of the A. L. Bandall Co. George C. McCallum has been trans- ferred from the Chicago Naval Training School to New York city for ocean-go- ing service, taking rank as third quar- termaster. After two months of deep water experience, he expects to take the examination for the ofSce of ensign. JJarl J. Hunkle has returned to the salesroom of the McCallum Co., follow- ing three months of essential labor with the Westinghouse Union Switch & Sig- nal Co., at Swissvale, Pa. Bec^ert's Seed Store has its stock of foreign bulbs well cleaned up and every- thing in shape for the mail order sea- son, beginning the middle of January. The new secretary, Adolph Ejruhm, who also serves as buyer and sales manager, is now compiling his third catalogue for this firm. Charles Nieman, the Philadelphia im- porter, called on the trade last week. The proprietors of the store formerly known as the Empire Flower Shop, in the Empire building, have decided to change the firm name to McGrath & Langhans. The absent, although not silent partner, Mr. Langhans, is still at Camp Forest, with no prospect of an early return home. As usual, Mr. Mc- Grath has engaged seven or eight stu- dents from the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology for the holiday season. During this time and the Easter season the firm does a capacity business in poinsettiaa and other Christmas and Easter plants, grown by the Blind Floral Co., the orig- inal proprietors, at the farm near West View. After an absence of two months due to influenza. Miss Essie Beilly, of Brad- dock, has returned to Soadolph ^ Me> Clements. Two other sisters, Mrs. Thomas Beilly Cavanaugh and Miss Cecelia Beilly, also have returned to Johnston's Braddock store. Their brother, Baymond W. Beilly, who was decorated for bravery during scout service in No Man's Land, is now with the Fifth Division of the regular army in Germany. Ikfr.

They are K. B. Van Woert and E. Mails. The firm will be known as the Santa Barbara Seed Co. A fine loca- tion has been secured at 818 State street, in the center of the business district. The firm purposes to handle all classes of seeds and bulbs, also supplies for nurserymen and gardeners. There is no firm doing this as a specialty in the city, and it looks as though these young men have an excellent opening before them. The neighboring cities, like Montebello, are the sites of many fine estates. LOS ANGEI^S. The Market. Another week of good local business and an exceptionally heavy week of shipping have brought stock down to the vanishing point. Orders had to be re- fused repeatedly by wholesalers and some of the stock used in funeral work was of the poorest description. The better class of stores, of course, do not descend to this kind of business, but, unfortunately, there are many that do. Boses are improving both in quantity and quality and bringing satisfactory prices. Carnations are of medium qual- ity and there is not sufficient good stock to go around. Scotch heather, as Erica melanthera is known on the market, is getting better in color and consequently sells more rapidly. There probably will be a good supply for Christmas and it will help out, with the scarcity of other stock. The greens and holly situation as yet is indefinite and orders do not come so freely as usual, owing to the higher prices, but doubtless the demand will be here before the holidays. Good plants are likely to be scarce for the holidays. There are some extra fine cyclamens in several establishments, while in others a disease of some unde- termined kind has caused a great deal of bud-dropping. A well known nurs- eryman gives it as his opinion that a nematode on the roots is responsible for the damage. He cites an instance of several years ago when a grower of outdoor cyclamen seed had to give up the culture of this plant on account of the ravages of this worm, Thrips also has been making trouble in other estab- lishments. There will be a good supply of fine potted poinsettias, a fair num- ber of begonias and only a few azaleas. Ericas are also in the market, besides ferns and foliage plants. Club Meeting. The first meeting of the Florists' Club since the closing order was rescinded took place at Christopher's the evening of December 11, with President Borden in the chair and J. Austin Shaw, of New York, the guest of the club. Besides these, there were present W. Armacost, A. Goldenson, H. B. Bichards, H. N. Gage, T. Wright, F. H. Howard and John Polder. Such a small attendance was disappointing, but an enjoyable evening was spent. The flower show committee reported the failure of its efforts to ar* range a show at the Liberty fair at so late a date and the secretary read its let- ter of resignation. J. Austin Shaw gave a pleasing short address, mentioning the fact that for twenty-five years he had missed only tb|ee meetings of the New York Florists' Club. He also gave some interesting data and experiences. Incidentally he mentioned the pleasure he already had enjoyed in his short stay in California and paid a compliment to our climate. He also recited an original poem on roses, which was heartily re- ceived. The matter of fake insecticides was brought up and several members gave their experiences with the product of a local manufacturing concern that has proven effectual in killing many plants. The secretary was instructed to write to this firm, registering a com- plaint on behalf of the club, and re- questing it to give more attention to perfecting the spray before further dis- tribution of it. President Borden had to leave early and placed the meeting in the hands of Vice-president Armacost, who conducted it from that time. A mo- tion made by Fred Howard and sec- onded by T. Wright, that the meeting scheduled for December 24, coming so near Christmas, be abandoned and the next regular meeting be held the second Tuesday in January, was carried. After discussion on various other topics the meeting adjourned. Various Notes. In the note on the Liberty fair ex- hibits last week the writer unintention- ally omitted mention of the display made by E. D. Sturtevant, the veteran water lily and aquatic plant grower, of Hol- lywood. Mr. Sturtevant had a circular tank with a fountain in which were some of the finest of his rare and valuable species and hybrids of lilies. For so late in the season the display was won- derful and a great credit to the grow- ers. An ornamental fountain in the cen- ter proved attractive and the edges of the pond were decorated with fine ferns by F. B. Hills. At Lincoln park everything was found in excellent condition. Although flow- ers are scarce, owing to frost outdoors, the indoor stock is attractive. Some fine plants of Cattleya Trianse, Perci- valiana and others of C. labiata types were in full fiower in the conservatory and a large number of spikes are form- ing on Lselia superbiens, many of them eight or nine feet long. Mr. McGillivray is working up an excellent stock of cro- tons, pandanus, dracsenas and other foli- age plants and some young stock of the royal palm, oreodoxa, are fine for out- door decoration. This palm should bo grown more inside, for, though tender, it is one of the most graceful when young, and is a rapid grower. F. Lichtenberg and C. Gutting left this week for a fishing and hunting trip and at last reports were snowed in up in the mountains. The L. A. Floral Co. has taken a large store directly opposite the Fourth street store as an overflow for the Christmas trade, especially in greens, wreaths and berries. A nne stock is shown. W. Armacost & Co. is sending in extra fine roses in all varieties, possibly the finest stock ever grown around Los An- geles. Mr. and Mrs. Chase, of Derry, N. H., left December 11 for home by the south- ern route. A. Ecke reports the biggest business he has ever done on poinsettias, not- withstanding the loss of some of his plants in the recent wind storm. He says the later stock looks fine and he predicts a big Christmas business. L. A. FLORAL CO.

In fact, these young men have made a most promising start in the year they have been in business and everyone wishes them a continuance of their success. Nurserymen report an awakening in business and the prospects are bright. H. E, Richards. SAN FEANCISOO The Market. More demand than flowers is the situ- ation here, which is a peculiar condition for this market at this time of the year, or, for that matter, for any time of the year. It is not simply a question of flowers being scarce, nor, on the other hand, of the demand being unusu- ally heavy, but a combination of the two. Everything cleans up, regardless of price or quality, and the growers and wholesalers report orders galore that they cannot fill. Not only do they hate to lose the business; what seems to concern them more is having to dis- appoint their customers. The size and number of the' telegraphic orders arriv- ing daily indicate critical stock condi- tions and a big demand in other places also. Never before have the shipping orders called for such large quantities of flowers. For instance, customers who in former years ordered violets in ten and fifteen dozen lots now call for fifty and 100 dozen lots. Others do not specify any particular kind of flowers, orders reading as follows: "Ship $50 good flowers daily." As is bound to be the case under the circumstances, flowers, whether good, bad or indifferent, find buyers at stiff prices. The cold weather has a tendency to accentuate the short- age of flowers, although the weather man is not held entirely responsible for the present short supply. On account of the fuel restrictions, the labor short- age and other war conditions, the grow- ers did not plant so heavily this year S. MURATA & CO.

The outlook for Christmas stock is not altogether pleasing. It seems a foregone conclu- sion that cut flowers will be in light sup- ply, compared with the demand, and it is generally conceded that the supply of flowering plants is not large. However, the trade is inclined to make the best of the situation, being confident that there will be enough stock to bring the total volume of business up to a high figure, considering the high prices which are bound to prevail. Roses are the mainstay of the mar- ket, being the most plentiful item of stock. They are not sufficiently plenti- ful, however, to make up for the short supply of other seasonable flowers.

In fact, there was never a finer showing of Bussell, Ophelia, Hadley, Shawyer and other varieties for the first half of December than have been offered this year. American Beauties are in their prime also. Carnations are ex- tremely scarce; good ones, which could be bought at $1 a bunch last Christmas, now bring $1,25 and $1.50. The violet situation is acute also, the cold weather since Thanksgiving being held largely responsible for the short supply. The growers are not only charging more per bunch, but the bunches are smaller than usual. The supply of gardenias and orchids is equal to the demand, although more of each could be used on certain days. Cut cyclamen helps out in re- lieving the general shortage of flowers and the same may be said of Paper White narcissi and freesias, but these flowers cannot be expected to fill the big gap by any means. Cut poinsettias move freely. Various Notes. Having sold his interest in the firm of J. B. Boland and severed his con- nection with the store, Charles Shell- grain is preparing to engage in business for himself. He has si'cured a favor- lible location in the Sutter hotel build- ing, a block from the Boland store, and across the street from Pelicano, Bossi & Co. The quarters are being nicely fit- ted up and Mr. Shellgrain expects to be ready for business at an early date. He has had long experience in the flo- rists' business and has many friends to wish him success in his new venture. Another new store is being opened in San Francisco. It is located on Market street, between Fremont and First streets, and will be operated by the C. C. Navlet Co., Inc., a large establish- ment of San Jose, Cal., which until a few months ago conducted a seed, plant and cut flower department in the Em- porium, one of the largest department stores in this city. C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, Cal., has been spend- ing several days in San Francisco, call- ing on friends in the trade. Francis D. Pelicano, son of Frank D. Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., was released from the S. A. T. C. this week. In regard to business Mr. Pelicano says there is nothing to complain about ex- cept the diflSculty in getting stock. He considers the outlook exceptionally good for the holiday trade.

Mr. Stappen- beck expects to have a fine cut of roses for Christmas. Mrs. E. E. Darbee has fully recovered from the "flu" and is glad to have all her force back on duty also. The only thing to worry her now is inability to get stock to fill shipping orders. She says, "It would make you sick to see the telegrams coming in — people spend- ing their money on wires, while we are not able to send them anything." In her opinion the shortage is easily ex- plained, the primary factor being that the growers had no way of anticipating the abnormal demand which has devel- oped in the last few months as a result of demonstrations that California flow- ers can be shipped to distant points without refrigerator service. In regard to the rose situation, J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. MeLellan Co., says his firm is cutting a normal supply, but the demand is ten times as great as in former years; hence the shortage.

PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Stock is in heavy demand, while hard- ly enough is received to make a display in the shops. Christmas trade prospects are excellent and, with prices back where they ought to be, the florists should fare well this season. The supply of holly is apparently unlimited. Mis- tletoe also is abundant. The shops are displaying Maud Dean, all the other mums being gone. This variety probab- ly will be the only one with us for the holidays. The flowers are taken as fast as they open and prices realized will be at the top notch and the stock worth ■what is asked for it. The supply of car- nations is shortening up on account of the cloudy weather. Local florists who have received their shipments of French bulbs all have been greatly surprised at the mathematics employed to figure out transportation charges on their bulbs from New York. At the rates now in force on the rail- roads the total charges collected on de- livery are more than 100 per cent in ex- cess of rates guaranteed by the bulb wen. A concerted effort will be made by local florists to find out who is to foot the bills for apparent errors. Various Notes.

Heavy spring importations of Holland nursery stock are assured. The nursery trade is of mixed mind in the matter of the exclusion of foreign plants, but it seems probable that only a small number of concerns can profit by it in the near future. The Greening Nursery Co., of Monroe, Mich., represented by Charles E. Green- ing, is developing the park system of Toledo, O., with gratifying success. The undertaking was diflScult on account of the clay soil, but the Greening system of soil treatment has brought speedy and pleasing results. "ONE GRAND RUSH" IN SOUTH. The Texas Nursery Co., Sherman, Tex., had the largest fall business in its his- tory, the company reports. "In the grand rush of shipping the largest fall business we ever have had, we have dis- posed of practically all, our fruit stock, except that needed for spring orders," writes the secretary of the company. "We also have had some demand for items we cannot supply, such as Elberta peach and Compass cherry. The supply of ornamental and shade trees is good and while the demand is greater than in a number of years, there still are more than enough to go around. Evergreens are in stronger demand, with a limited supply.". BfUST CHANGE THEIR METHODS. W. W. Hoopes on Nursery Problems. "Our retail business this fall is just the same as it was a year ago, but on ac- count of a rise in prices, we did not have to handle nearly so much stock for the same amount of money," reports Wilmer W. Hoopes, treasurer of the Hoopes, Bros. & Thomas Co., West Chester, Pa. "We usually have from 140 to 150 men working in our shipping season in the fall. This year the largest number we could get was eighty. We had to pay these eighty nearly the same amount that we paid the 140 a year ago. These eighty men, however, handled our busi- ness in just as good time as in 1917, on account of the smaller amount of stock which was necessary to fill the fall or- ders. ' ' Our wholesale business this fall was about seventy-five per cent better than last fall. We do not go after trade or- ders in the fall, as we have so much re- tail business that it is all we can do to it To the Middle of January" Our home office in Boskoop tells us that we must be careful about accepting orders after that time. We had a big stock at the begiaumg of the season and still have a reasonable supply of Rhododendrons, Buxus, Retinisporas, Juniperus, Thuya, Spruces, Japanese Naples, Clematis, Dutchman's Pipe, and other HoOand Specialties American nurserymen are planning for a big trade in ornamentals.

"The greatest trouble with the nurs- ery business as we see it is that nursery- men have not advanced their prices in proportion to the rise in other com- modities. This evidently comes from the old idea of nurserymen that price is the main argument by which to secure an order. T)iey do not seem to think that quality counts for anything. The first thing they say to a customer when he asks the price is how cheap their goods are, and this has gotten so fixed in the purchaser 's mind that he judges nursery stock by the price and not by the stand- ard that all other goods are sold by.

J. instances, four times, wages once and a half, manure and all other commodities two to three times, it seems foolish to talk about a raise in prices of our goods that has only, in many cases, been from ten to fifteen per cent; and yet a nurseryman thinks, if he has done this, he has raised his prices tremendously. They all think of the old times and how much more they are making at the new prices, without thinking of the increased costs. f Losses Are Not Considered.

Then the largest loss of all, that is seldom taken into consideration, is that when the trees are grown and ready for market there is a tremendous amount of wastage; that is, trees that are not marketable for some cause or other — these are thrown on the brush pile. Then there are the trees that are not sold when they are at a marketable age; these also have to go on the brush pile. When all these losses are taken into consideration, the profit on what have been sold is cut down materially and someone has to pay for it, which is the nurseryman, who balances up his books at the end of the year and wonders where his profit has gone. He has been counting this up in both seasons, spring and fall, and feels confident he has made a lot of money until he bal- ances up. It is certainly time for nurs- erymen to get their houses in order; the time when things can be put on a proper basis has arrived. There is going to be a scarcity of good stock in the nursery market for the next two or three years and prices should be so arranged that a good average profit can be made." CONDITIONS AND FSOSPECTS.

Fruit stock, however, is reported to be scarce and it would be safe to say that there is not more than sixty per cent of the amount of stock there was in this country in 1916. ''The present outlook is encouraging for the 1919 season, but according to our experience up to the present with the 1918 season, it reaches only two- thirds of the vekime of bueinces of the 1917 season. This seems to be the con- dition with most nurserymen whom we have talked with. As for the financial condition, we venture to say that the nurseryman who breaks even for the season of 1918 will be fortunate indeed.

Weber & Sons Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo., was advised December 16 that it had been awarded the contract to furnish the trees, shrubs, vines and roses for the United States Housing Cor- poration, at Davenport, la., and Eock Island, 111. The contract calls for some- thing more than 22,000 ornamental shrubs and 4,500 ornamental shade trees, besides climbing vines and roses. ' ' This is going to keep us pretty busy for the next month getting ready to make delivery about the middle of March," says F. A. Weber, secretary and treasurer of the company. * ' Owing to the influenza epidemic, we have been short of help, but business with us this fall has been as good as we could expect under the conditions," con- tinues Mr. Weber. "We had all we could do with the small force of help we had and it is only lately that we have been able to get any stock dug for stor- age. We are pretty well along with this work now and if we can get four or five more good days will be in good shape for spring shipments. Fruit stock in gen- eral is scarce throughout this section. The demand is strong and we predict a general clean-up on all lines of fruit stock. Ornamentals are still quite plen- tiful in certain lines, while other lines are being pretty well cleaned up. We look for a large business next spring." COAST NUBSEBY NOTES. Tree digging is in progress at the Placer Nurseries, at Newcastle, Cal. The output is estimated at seventy per cent of normal, or 500,000 trees. A loggers' donkey engine has been secured to pull the digger, horsepower having been used in previous years. About seventy-five men are employed to handle the product. Conferences planned for horticultural week at Eiverside, Cal., early in No- vember, but postponed because of the epidemic, are now announced by State Horticultural Commissioner George H. Hecke for next June, dates to be fixed later. The series includes the conven- tion of the California Nurserymen 's As- soeiation. M. M. Grlnnell, la. — C. L.

There is no let-up in funeral work, so, although there are good cuts of flowers, stock is still short of the demand. After a few rainy da^s, the weather has cleared and the prospects are good for a fair supply of flowers and plants for Christmas. Prices are high and prob- ably will continue to be so for some time. Various Notes. William Gardner, superintendent of the city parks^ died last week after a short illness with pneumonia, following the influenza. Mr. Gardner had been in Evansville four years and was well known to the florists of the city. He was a graduate of the Michigan Agri- cultural College. Three years ago Mr. Gardner married Miss Mildred White, of Bucyrus, 0., his birthplace. The body was shipped to Bucyrus for burial. Theodore Kuebler has his stand in the Municipal market well decorated with ferns, begonias and other plants for Christmas. All of the members of his family and his force have been ill with the influenza. M. L. Lockyear, of the Lockyear Floral Co., visited Seubold's Green- houses, at Huntingburg, last week in quest of stock. Mrs. J. C. Elspermann continues to have a heavy run of funeral work. The William Blackman Floral Co. re- ports that funeral work is plentiful, but stock is not. C. L. Niednagel is cutting some fine Columbia, Bussell, Milady and Eillarney roses. He expects the cuts to continue until Christmas. Niednagel & Sons have a fine lot of carnations for Christmas. Karl Zeidler is expected back from a hunting trip to Mississippi in time for the Christmas rush. E. L. Fenton has received a card from Ernest L. Lutz, dated in Belgium. He expects to return early in February. E. L. F. IiANCASTEB, PA. The Lancaster County Florists* Club held its annual banquet December 10 in Brenneman hall, with thirty members present. President Elmer J. Weaver appointed David Bose, Lemon S. Landis and Eudolph Nagle to take charge of the sports and entertainment. J. Wade Gayley, of Strasburg, carried off the first prize in the bowling contest, and A. P. Strickler was awarded the booby prize in the same game. Charles B. Herr, of Strasburg, won first honors in the card games. Billiards and pool were enjoyed by some of the members, while others visited together and discussed business matters. The buffet lunch was enjoyed by all and A. F. Strickler and Lemon Landis were voted delightful hosts. Mr. Weaver's sweet cider was a delicious beverage. A short business session was held afterwards, at which nominations for oiBeeris for 1919 resulted as follows: V: President, Elmer J. Weaver; vice-presi- k^' dent, Lemon S. Landis; secretary, Al- bert M. Herr; treasurer, Harry K. Bohrer. The January meeting of the club will be held in the club 's rooms in the Cham- ber of Commerce.

Greenbonse Heating SuBSOBiBiRS are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to anj details of greenhouse heating that are not iinderstw>d. But please do not ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- paratas for yon. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best for the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. THE FQEL SITUATION. Easier in East. There is a continually easing tendency in the fuel market, of particular advan- tage to florists in the eastern districts. A large part of the relief is due to the continued mild weather, but another part is due, of course, to the removal of the pressure of war work. This has been of special advantage to eastern growers in that it has relieved the demands on transportation. The fuel troubles in the east have been due as much to the lack of transportation facilities as to any shortage of coal. While the Fuel Administration has taken off all restrictions on the green- house industry, eastern florists who have been burning -anthracite are not yet able to buy fuel; this is because the domestic demand has not been satisfied. Growers are able to get enough bituminous coal, and it is having the effect of starring them on the work of reestablishing their operations on the basis of full capacity. Bituminous Abundant. The fuel situation was much more serious in the east than in the middle west and growers in the east as a rule accepted the condition as likely to con- tinue, whereas, western growers, instead of closing a large part of the glass as the eastern people did, went ahead with preparations as usual, trusting to their ability to get coal when they needed it. The western growers therefore now are in much better position than the trade is in the east. In the middle west local bituminous coals are abundant; the railroad yards at Chicago are congested with cars of coal for which there is no immediate buyer. The. same thing is true of other larger cities. ' Prices are not weakening except in an unimportant way, because » the labor cost is so high the mine opera- tor must maintain his rates. But buyers are learning that they do not now need to accept the low-grade coal and certain mines are finding it increasingly difficult to operate. Their closing will release additional labor for the mines producing better fuel and will have a tendency toward lower wages and lower prices for another season. While the government has taken off all the fuel restrictions on fiorists, it has not yet canceled the zone plan by which distribution was controlled, and the smokeless coals are not yet going west.

The demand is above nor- mal and the retailers are at their wits' end to fill orders. This is true also of the commission men; they have to take care of their customers as best they can with the supplies available. There IS not nearly enough stock on the mar- ket to go around. For funeral work the stores are pushing palm leaves, galax and magnolia leaves, anything to con- serve cut flowers for the general trade, which is getting better every day. From present indications this will be a greenless Christmas. Today the writer tried to place an order for cedar and laurel roping. The best price he could set was 15 cents per yard wholesale. ^Wien we remember that it used to go pegging at 4 cents, we can easily real- ize there will not bo much used.

Johnston, December 10, at 9:30 a. m. Mr. Johnston delivered a stirring address, urging the members to larger horticultural development, now that peace has been declared. The meet- ings lasted three days and the speakers were the most noted horticulturists of the country. Club Meeting. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club held its regular meeting December 9. William Lehr told of his visit, with a party of Philadelphia growers, to the ranges of many growers near Phila- delphia. Among other things Mr. Lehr said he had noticed was the fact that, with curtailed labor, the stock in these establishments looks better this fall than last. One case he cited was a place that usually carried fifty-six men on its pay roll. This year it had but fifteen and yet he had never seen this place in better shape or more productive. Mr. Lehr is of the opinion that the florists generally have been in the habit of em- ploying too much help. That is one of the lessons learned from the war. George Talbott, who has been finan- cial secretary of the club for many years, found it necessary, owing to busi- ness relations, to resign. , The members tried to prevail on Mr. Talbott not to give up, but he was determined. Presi- dent Vincent' will appoint his successor at the next meeting. Labor Oonditions. The florists who are having their troubles with the labor question will be glad to hear that the Maryland Dredg- ing & Contracting Co. will finish its con- tract with the government at the Aber- deen Proving Grounds December 15. This was a cost-plus contract, and the men worked overtime every day and Sundays. The government will continue the work and the schedule which will go into force December 16 will call for an 8-hour day for five days and a half -day on Saturday. This will affect 2,500 men, and as this concern is one that absorbed labor the florists needed, many will get their old help back. This week I heard of another case of released labor, that of Robert Young, who for fifteen years had been with Bobert L. Graham at his Aisquith street store. Last spring Mr. Young was drafted and sent to Camp Meade. Mr. Graham did not know how he was going to get along without him, for he was a young man in whom he had every confidence and upon whom he could depend to take entire management of this part of his business. He was mustered out December 6 and is now holding down his old job and everyone is happy. It will take both time and patience before those who have experienced sim- ilar hardships will look back upon them simply as a memory. Tate. • 'WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.

Now I am talking about a subject that I know interests you all. I have planted many himdreds of thousands of cyclamen seeds and sold plants In every state In the union and this is a subject on which I will try to interest you more than ever for several reasons; you will see this season again that every avail- able plant that Is salable will be disposed of and you could liave sold more; again, owing to cer- tain laws that are about to be put in operation (if I am Informed correctly) will prohibit Im- portation of azaleas, thus we will have to de- pend on domestic grown stock, and what Is bet- ter adapted for Christmas sales than cyclamen? If you have not seeded cyclamen for next sea- son for your Xmas needs, then It would be wise for you to buy transplanted seedlings if you want to grow them yourself, or three or four-Inch stock for May. June or July delivery. In either case it will be wise for you to place your order at onop, for I am certain the same condition will prevail as last season, when we turned down or- ders for thousands and thousands of plants. Sped sown now will make good plants for later sales. Seed advertised In classified section for seeds. Can offer yon the cream of several hundred thousand seedlings for delivery as you desire as follows: Seedlings, transplanted, separate colors, grown from the very best of seed obtainable, $8.00 per 100. $75.00 per 1000, Seedlings, transplanted, separate colors, grovni from a very good commercial strain, but not as good as above, $6.00 per 100, $55.00 per 1000.

Tou have not experienced any- thing Just quite the present situation regarding geranium stock in the past twenty years; 60 dayi ago you could have bought all the geranlimis you needed at $20.00 per 1000 out of 2-ln. pots; today you cannot procure them at almost twice the price. There are still a few to be had, but you must pay the price to get them; on the other hand, adjust your selling price next s^ng ac- cordingly. One prominent Chicago grower (you would all know him if I mentioned his name) told me that they were going to ask $16.00 per 100 for 4-ln. geraniums wholesale the coming season, and they will get It; another grower up north told me just last week that he was going to retail his 4-lnch stock at $3.60 per doz.

Tempt Customers to Buy When your flowers are attractively displayed— in a McCRAY Florists' Refrigerator— where customers can see your variety of flowers, with all their freshness and delicate beauty preserved just as perfectly as when they were cut— the temptation to buy more flowers— of different kinds —is almost too strong to resist. To the florist a McCRAY Florists' Refrigerator is a paying investment. In increasing your sales and saving the tremendous loss of prolits due to waste and spoilage of your flow- ers, jA McCRAY Refrigerator will pay lof Itself in a very short time. Florist Refrigerators are especially built to suit the flo- rists' needs. The patented system of refrigeration, by which a con- stant current of CDld dr.v air circu- lates through the refrigerator, keeps flowers perfectly — your flowers retain every bit of freshness and beauty, McCRAY Florists' Refrigerators are built in a variety of sizes and styles-having ample compartments to accommodate long stem flowers —special sizes built for particular re(iuirements, and any desired fin- ish can be ha(i.

Keep pushing every day. Make today bigger than yester- day and tomorrow bigger than today. And don't depend en- tirely on YOURSELF. If your work is on the eighteentb floor of an office building, DON'T WALK UP THE STAIRS- USE THE ELEVATOR. If you want to ask a question of someone on the other side of the city, DON'T SPEND HALF A DAY GOING TO SEE HIM— USE THE TELEPHONE. Take advantage of the modern forces ALL AROUND YOU. Take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that other brains and organizations have provided to SAVE YOUR TIME AND SAVE LABOR AND HELP YOU MAKE MONEY. Take advantage of the power of "Review" Classified Ads. They have built large and permanent business for many — for thousands of florists they have saved dumping a surplus; turned a loss into a quick profit. They will do as much for you — but it is up to you to act. It is up to you to offer nothing but good stock, worth the money, and to get your ad to the oflice of "The Review" by 4:00 p. M.

Does the water on the inside of your house actually fail into the drip gutter ? Are the bar brackets double bolted, and do they hold the bars on three sides, leaving the drip grooves free and uncovered at the end? Is every bracket cast with a glass stop, so that every light rests on a heavy iinc strip? Is the wall made of sash instead of bars nailed in? Is the eave ice-clearing? Is the •ash absolutely nailles* ? If you can answer "Yes" to all these questions, you have a true, straight wall— a per- fect outside wall — your house is an AGMCO. How do we know? Easily— the AGMCO is the only greenhouse that measures up to these top-notch specifications. This may not mean much to you when the weather is mild and bright, but — there comes a day when the skies are gray — when the mercury hunts cover and the winds howl. Then, your outside wall compels attention, if it is not right. Watch your outside wall during the next twelve weeks. If it isn't AGMCO you'll have to watch it and the stock near it. But— You'll build next spring and it will help you to study your plans and specifications through the zero weather. So— drop us a line which tells us what you really want, and in a few days, figures, plans and specifica- tions for your greenhouse will be sent you at —what's your address now?

This is not always caused by lack of knowledge of heating installation, but sometimes the nature of the circum- stances makes it necessary to run the pipes on the level or nearly so. In cases of this kind, as well as when the installation is poor, our hot water circulator solves all the trouble. ■ It is really wonderful how this circulator will speed up the circulation, heating up the greenhouses in a fraction of the time required by oi'dinary firing. You get your heat into the gr-eenhouses when you want it. and don't waste a lot of coal getting up a big temperature on your boiler to force the water around the pipes. It is not expensive to run this circulator, as it is only used for an hour or so in the morning and evening or when a sudden cold spell comes up. You can run the circulator by steam, gasoline engine or electric motor, but the electric motor is the simplest and most satisfactory. Just drop us a line if you are having any trouble and we will be pleased to give you our advice. JOHN C.

Here are some thoughts on the subject by the president of the Illinois Association of Public Accountants. m^t^l^^Sm T was not so long ago that I had a laundryman been asked the simple question, "How much does it cost you to wash a collar!" he %|i «» would have replied, "How /I^-^ should I know?" But he /#y^^ knows now. The National —11 Association of Laundry- men took up the matter of cost accounting for its members; a sys- tem was devised by an expert account- ant and that system is being used by substantially all the laundrymen of the country. Asked now how much it costs to wash a pair of socks, he will turn to his books and give figures that extend a considerable distance to the right of the decimal point. Ask any florist today how much it costs to produce a flower, if he be a grower, or how much it costs to sell a dollar's worth of flowers, if he be a retailer or wholesaler, and the reply in 999 cases out of 1,000 will be, ' ' How should I knowt" But he is going to find out; he must if he wants to stay in business. At St. Louis last August President Charles H. Totty called the attention of the S. A. F. convention to this sub- ject. Mr. Totty 's paper caused the con- vention to authorize a committee to study the subject and report at the 1919 meeting at Detroit. Only a few weeks ago Otto H. Amling ^^mm^^^^^ (read a paper on the cost of producing flow- ers before the Chicago Florists' Club. It was an exhaustive study of the subject as related to the operation of a greenhouse range. It was printed in The Re- view for November 14. System First. Let me say here that florists ought not to bother with the impor- tant matter of costs in their establishments until they have at least provided them- selves with proper, rea- sonably accurate and scientific general ac- counting systems, for every cost system that is going to eflfect proper results should be worked through the general books and not independent of them. Therefore, it follows that you can not build BY HODGSON JOLLY, C. P. A. a proper cost system on an improper set of books. Elnowing your costs amounts to know- ing what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing, you cannot make proper profits. Don't make the mistake of overemphasizing the * * how ' ' to do — get next to the "why." It is one thing to follow blindfolded a set of instructions that will enable you to arrive at your costs, but it is a whole lot more important to under- stand the "why" of these instructions and of the various forms and methods employed. If you don't know the "why," you certainly cannot properly appreciate the real purposes of costs and cost accounting. Factors of Cost. Final cost of production, like every- thing else, is made up of component factors, and when you get these factors right and in the right place your total costs won't be so hard to determine. There are, after all, only two ele- ments in the cost of production — ma- terial and labor, and in the last anal- ysis the commonly called "expense" is nothing more or less than mate- rial and labor, or perhaps only labor. Labor, wages or salary is conpensa- tion for effort, either physical or mental. THE "HANDLE PRICE" EGG WITH CARE" SALES^PRJCC The Elements of Cost In the Florists' Business. on something physical or on something, in principle, and just as this effort is directly or indirectly applied to your product is the determining factor as to whether this kind of expense goes into your prime cost of production or into your overhead. At this point it might be well to in- terpolate that many people look to- their books for nothing more than gen- eral financial data, whereas, that is only one kind of information that should be supplied. On this point such a well known business man as W. D. Simmons,, president of the Simmons Hardware Co., St. Louis, says: "Having books give information in regard to receiv- ables and payables is only a minor func- tion of proper accounting." On the point of the "why" being more important than the "how" the- well known efficiency pioneer, Harring- ton Emerson, says: "Principles are- made effective through methods. Eec- ords are a principle; accounting is one form of records; costs are a part of accounting. Production costs are only a sub-part of all costs." Also on this point it woyld be in order to quote a business man in your own trade, Mr. Amling, who, in his paper before your club said: "I am confident that a thorough knowledge of what it costs to produce each flower to- day will open the eyes of many men in the flower business and ^^^^„^_^ lead them to realize that each flower has a value." Few Know Costs. In regard to the mat- ter of the percentage of business men who- ordinarily would be called smart, Professor William James, the famous psychologist, says : ' ' The average in- dividual develops less than ten per cent of his brain cells." And this fact seems to coincide with the percentage of manufacturing c o n - cerns in the United States that know their costs. The small per- centage of manufac- turers knowing their costs in definite form and shape is the out- come of the fact that for years back the American manufactur- er had it practically his own way as re- gards the price he 10 The Florists' Review December 26, 1918. charged for his product, and when his costs mounted up so as to make the margin of profit too small, he merely went out and boosted his sales price. Competition, however, stepped in and, as is always the result, the margin of profit on sales began to decrease. The manufacturer, therefore, had to look to his cost of production, instead of to his sales price, and was gradually forced to realize the importance and necessity of proper production costs. ••The Sales Price Egg." In this connection, and perhaps more particularly to draw attention to the fact that your margin of profit is de- pendent on your ability to keep down the price of your production and selling costs, I have gotten up a chart, en- titled "The Sales Price Egg," which is shown in the accompanying illustra- tion. You will notice in the chart that the demarcation line between the production overhead and the general overhead is a dotted line. This is in- tended to bring out the point that many manufacturers and producers lump the production and general overhead to- gether, which, though not scientifically correct, is so shown in the chart. Again, in the sales overhead, or, as it is usually called," selling expense," there are in- cluded "bad debts" and "credit serv- ice," but these, of course, might be considered by some as belonging more to the "general overhead" than to the "sales overhead." However, there is no contention on my part that what is included is the last say-so in what can or should be included under the differ- ent division, but each item is put in as being indicative of what might or should be in the different divisions. The science of cost-finding or cost- accounting is segregating the different material, labor and expense details directly or indirectly into their proper classifications of production and selling, and combining them thereafter in ac- cordance with the actual production facts into total production and selling costs. Segregating the Costs. It can be here noted that I have seg- regated the selling overhead or ex- pense apart and distinct from the pro- duction and general overheads and this is as it should be, because if you are going to get the proper control, both physical and human, that you should get from your costs, you should segre- gate them, and the steps in proper costs are: First. Get your prime cost to pro- duce. Second. Add your additional cost to finished production, and to the total of these — Third. Add your selling costs or sell- ing expense. In regard to the experience of other trades in the matter of standardized cost systems, a frequent cause of dissatisfac- tion has been the attempt on the part of so many of the members of these dif- ferent trade associations to apply the so-called "standard system" without modification or alteration to their own particular businesses. No cost system, even though gotten up specifically for a certain trade and even though worthy of the term "excellent," is so compre- hensive and perfect as to be applicable without change or modification to every condition and requirement of the differ- ent businossos in that trade. Every cost system must be properly applied and molded to the conditions and re- quirements of the individual businesses, •in order to effect the proper purposes and results. This has been borne out conclusively in the experience of the printers, clothiers, bakers, foundrymen and others. Horse sense and judgment are necessary in addition to technical knowledge in the application and molding of any standard system, other- wise little or no good and perhaps even harm will result. Wien It Is Worth While. Another point of importance is the determination of how far to go in your cost-finding. Volume of production usu- ally coincides with volume of sales and determines to a great extent whether NOTICE To those who want things printed in Because the New Year's holiday falls on Wednesday, the day the paper usually is printed, it will be necessary to go to press next week ONE DAY EARLY TUESDAY with the issue for January 2. Get YoiR Matter in Monday or not cost-finding on any phase of production or on any item of production is worth while. It is logical that if it costs more in clerk and other hire and expense to ascertain what the article or unit costs to produce, there is no use or sense in determining its cost. All costs and all in costs are material and labor, and these are either direct or indirect to production. Direct material goes to prime cost of product. Direct labor goes to prime cost of product. Indirect material goes to overhead cost of product. Indirect labor goes to overhead cost of ptoduct. The purpose of costs or cost-finding is control, not only of the factors in costs and thereby of profits, but also of wastes of time, material and human energy. Here one eflBciency expert says: 'If we know what standard costs ought to be and what actual costs are, we can dete)rmitie efficiencies." And this phase of cost-finding should never be lost sight of. Your friend, Mr. Amling, said pertinently in his paper that "it costs money to grow every inch of stem on a rose, ' ' and that suggests a little thought on the subject of the units of cost. How to Determine Selling Price. Units of cost are usually determined with reference to the basis on which the finished product is sold, as for in- stance: (a) per flower j (aa) per number of flowers; (b) per plant (non-flower- ing)} (tb) per number of plants; (c) on other base, as per leaves, as with palms, etc. This matter of unit, of course, opens the field for an interesting and elaborate discussion as to the basis for determin- ing the cost, and many articles could be written on that phase of the subject alone. I understand that the square foot of bench space cost, in the case of growers, has, more or less, been ten- tatively accepted as the proper one, but a final decision could only be reached in such a matter by a careful and com- mon sense analysis of the factors in the case. Although I have not had the time to devote to this interesting and important phase of the question of costs in the florists' trade, I would suggest that there may possibly be others just as sane and practical as the one mentioned. Separate Types of Accounting. In closing, it would be my suggestion, if the florists as a trade association intend going further into this matter of production costs, that thought be given to the building up of separate types of standardized cost systems for the producer, wholesaler and retailer. For it should not be thought that there can be only one cost system and that for the producer. Every business has its costs, and the type of proper cost system for the grower would necessar- ily have considerable detail in it that would be of no interest and not appli- cable to the wholesaler and retailer, and vice versa. Another equally important matter that ought to be considered by the flo- rists would be the terminology to be used, or in other words, the establish- ment of the proper names for every production and overhead cost item, as much useless discussion results from the misunderstanding between people aris- ing out of the use of or abuse of the proper terms or names. PEOPAGATION OF OUTTINaS. Please tell me how to propagate weep- ing lantanas, plumbagos, pot hibiscus and jasmines. I can root a great many other plants, but fail with these. E. E. B.— Tex. Lantanas, Plumbago capensis and rosea, hibiscus and jasmines all propa- gate easily from soft-wood cuttings, es- pecially such as are taken off with a heel, if the cuttings are inserted in a cutting bench where there is a good, steady bottom heat. The jasmines, hibiscus and plumbago may be rooted also from more mature wood, but such cuttings are much slower in rooting. Given a good bottom heat and care in keeping the cuttings moist, you sho\ild have no trouble in rooting any of the four plants named. C. W. TIM'S TIMELY TIP. T. E.

The Florists' Review 11 ^DMM PLANT IMPORTS PROHIBITED rt}h^itTrii?rKijr^ifrriiff^iirrtiT7rfi>7^i??^i?y^7^i?^^ OFFICIAL NOTICE IS OUT. Trade's Protest Disregarded. In spite of the protest of the Society of American Florists at the special hear- ing at "Washington October 18, the Fed- eral Horticultural Board has ordered the general quarantine against imports as outlined in the tentative regulations put out some months ago. These regu- lations were sent to the trade with the invitation to present objections and at the hearing October 18 many incon- sistencies were pointed out and unneces- sary hardships indicated, but all these have been ignored — the importation of plants of all kinds is ordered to cease June 1. Fear Plant Pests? The trade has known that some sort of quarantine was inevitable, but to a florist it seems so far fetched to fear injury to American agriculture and ar- boriculture through imports of azaleas, palms, rose plants, araucarias, gladiolus bulbs, etc., that some modification of the proposed quarantine was expocted. The official notice, called Quarantine No. 37, which became available this week, shows no material change from the drastic quarantine first proposed. Here is the official or- der: Text of Order. that it is necessary, in order to pre- vent the further introduction into the United States of injurious insect pests and fungous diseases, to forbid, except as provided in the rules and regu- lations supplemental hereto, the impor- tation into the United States of nursery stock and other plants and seeds from the foreign countries and localities named and from any other foreign lo- cality or country. June 1 the Tilmlt. "On and after June 1, 1919, and un- til further notice, by virtue of said act of Congress approved August 20, 1912, the importation of nursery stock and other plants and seeds from the above named and all other foreign countries and localities, except as provided in the rules and regulations supplemental here- to, is prohibited. "This quarantine shall not apply to nursery stock and other plants and seeds covered by special quarantines and other restrictive orders now in force . nor to the importation by the United States Department of Agricul- ture of nursery stock and other plants and seeds for experimental or scientific purposes. ' ' This was signed by the Secretary of Agriculture, giving it the force of law, "The fact has been de- termined by the Secretary of Agriculture, and notice is hereby given, that there exist in Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico, Central and South America, and other foreign countries and localities, certain in- jurious insects and fun- gous diseases new to and not heretofore widely dis- tributed within and throughout the United States, which affect and are carried by nursery stock and other plants and seeds, the words 'nursery stock and other plants and seeds' including, wherever used in tliis notice and the rules and regulations sup- plemental hereto, field- grown florists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines, cut- tings, grafts, scions, buds, fruit pits and other seeds of fruit and ornamental trees or shrubs, also field, vegetable, and flower seeds, bedding plants, and other herbaceous plants, bulbs, and roots, and other plants and plant products for, or capable of, propa- gation. "Now, therefore, I, D. F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, under the au- thority conferred by the act of Congress approved August 20, 1912 (37 Stat., 315), do hereby declare THESE ONLY MAY ENTER Under Quarantine No. 37, of the Federal Horticultural Board, effective June 1, 1919, these, and these only, of bulbs and plants, including florists' and nursery stock originating in other countries, will be admitted to the United States: Nnrsery stock and other plants and seeds for which permit is not required: The following classes of nursery stock and other plants and seeds, not Including, however, the particular nursery stock and other plants and seeds • • » • which are governed by special quarantines and other restrictive orders now in force, nor such as may hereafter be made the subject of spe- cial quarantines, may be imported without permit or other compliance with these regulations: (1) Fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plant products Imported for medic- inal, food, or manufacturing purposes. (2) Field, vegetable, and flower seeds. Nnrnery stock and other plants and seeds for which permit is required: The following nursery stock and other plants and seeds, not Including, however, those • • • • which are governed by special quarantines and other restrictive orders now In force, nor such as may hereafter be made the subject of spe- cial quarantines, when free from sand, soil, or earth, may be imported from countries which maintain inspection (see Ap- pendix C), under permit upon compliance with these regrula- tlons, but, where a particular purpose is specified, for that purpose and no other: (1) Lily bulbs, illy of the valley, narcissus, hyacinths, tulips, and crocus. (2) Stocks, cuttings, scions, and buds, of fruits for propagation. (3) Rose stocks for propagation. Including Manettl, Multlflora, Brier Rose, and Rosa Rugosa. (4) Nuts, including palm seeds, for propaga- tion. (5) Seeds of fruit, forest, ornamental, and shade trees, seeds of deciduous and evergreen ornamental shrubs, and seeds of hardy perennial plants. Importations of nursery stock and other plants and seeds specified in this regulation, from countries not maintaining inspection, may be made under permit upon compliance with these regulations in limited quantities for experimental purposes only, but this limitation shall not apply to tree seeds. November 18,1918, effective June 1, 1919. Certification Required. The regulations governing the entry of the classes of plants listed to be ad- mitted are similar to those hitherto in force and take into account the classifi- cation of countries into (1) those main- taining inspection and certification of nursery stock in accordance with the requirements of the plant quarantine act, and (2) countries which have not made provision for such compliance with the act. The nbw feature of the regulations, which were published in The Eeview for October 24 and are now available in pamphlet form, is the one providing for disinfection when required by the U. S. inspector. The paragraph is as follows: Disinfection. "Nursery stock and o\her plants and seeds [permitted to be] imported shall be subject as a condition of entry, to such disinfection as shall be required by the inspector of the Department of Agriculture. When disinfection is re- quired, the nursery stock and other plants and seeds involved will be de- livered to the permittee for disinfection upon the filing with the collector of customs of a bond in the amount of $5,000, or in an amount equal to the invoice value if such value be less than $5,000 with approved sure- ties, the condition of which shall be ■ (that the nursery stock and other plants and seeds shall be disinfected under the su- pervision of an inspector of the Department of Ag- riculture; that no case or other container thereof shall be broken, opened or removed from the port of entry unless and until a written notice is given to such collector by an in- spector of the Department of Agriculture that the nursery stock and other plants and seeds have been properly disinfected; and that the importation shall be redelivered to the collector of customs with- in forty days from arrival at the port of entry." To Get Permits. Only fruits and seeds are to be allowed to come in without license; every- thing else, if admitted at all, must needs have a per- mit for each shipment. The method of obtaining permits is prescribed as follows: "Persons contemplating the importation of nursery stock and other plants and seeds the entry of which is permitted » « ♦ shall first make applica- tion to the Federal Horti- cultural Board for a per- v> 12 The Florists^ Review Dkcbmbbb 26, 1918. mit, stating in the application the exact designation of the nursery stock and other plants and seeds to be imported, the name and address of the exporter, the country and locality where grown, the port of entry, and the name and ad- dress of the importer in the United States to whom the permit should be sent. "Application for permits to import made in advance of the proposed ship- ments, but if, through no fault of the importer, a shipment should arrive be- fore a permit is received the importa- tion will be held in customs custody at the risk and expense of the importer for a period not exceeding twenty days pending the receipt of the permit. "Applications may be made by tele- graph, in which case the information required above must be given. "Permits are not required for nursery stock and other plants and seeds, not under quarantine or regulation, entering the United States for immediate trans- portation in bond to foreign countries. Applications for permits to import nursery stock and other plants and seeds from countries which do not maintain inspection must contain a definite state- ment of the quantity to be imported." s^ THE WAR BOARD'S BAN i^ \(i(iir«>rtrr4^ir/s\ir/s>rtr^r/svir?s\ir/svirr*>ir^wrr*^ik»r^ WABBIOBS WOBKINQ. Back in Stores and Greenhouses. In practically every news letter in The Review last week there were reports that members of our trade, who had forsaken their peace-time jobs to go to war, had returned to the stores or green- houses they left during the last eighteen months. This eased the labor situation considerably and made the pre-Christ- mas rush easier to handle. More of the florists who were in the army overseas or in training at the various canton- ments are being released daily and it will not be long before the boys who grow wholesale and retail flowers will be at home, working at their former employment. In the Army and Navy. Albert J., Jr., and Francis X. Lorenz, sons of Albert J. Lorenz, Brooklyn florist, did their part to help the Allied countries win the war. Albert was with the naval aviation forces and saw service abroad. Francis was called for service with the army and trained at Camp Devens, Mass. Bqth are well known to the trade in Brooklyn, having been associated with their father at his establishment, corner of Flatbush ave- nue and Dean street. Bauske Convalescing. Written large on the panels of history will be the story of the 131st Infantry in the operations on the St. Mihiel salient and north of Verdun in the clos- ing days of the war. The 131st In- fantry is a Chicago regiment and among the florists in it is Otto Bauske, who was drafted in September, 1917. He was as- signed to the machine gun company. Albert J. Lorenz^ Jr. Otto Bauske. After training at Camp Grant, the regi- ment was one of the first sent to France and was in the first all- American attack. Otto Bauske went "over the top" three times, July 4, August 28 and September 27, in the Verdun sector. The last time he was wounded in the leg so seriously that when last heard from, under date of November 20, he still was in the hos- pital at Vichy, where the mineral water comes from. Otto Bauske is the eldest son of Her- man Bauske, the well-known Chicago rose grower, and, before he was drafted, was his father's chief assistant in the management of the greenhouses. He is 27 years of age and a first-class grower. Mr. Bauske has another son, Herman, Jr., who was with the A. L. Bandall Co. prior to being drafted. After a few weeks in camp he was honorably dis- charged because of his physical condi- tion, but, being unwilling to let great events pass without participating, he went to Washington and secured an ap- pointment in the Ordnance Department. He was sent home a fortnight ago. Charles Steidle Gets Discharge. Charles Steidle, of Olivette, Mo., on being discharged from the army at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., left for Chicago, arriving December 21, instead of going to his home, as Mrs. Steidle was in Chicago on a visit. He has two broth- ers in service, one in France and one in tliis country, and is the owner of a range of glass in Olivette. Upon his return home Mr. Steidle will take ac- tive charge of his business again. Corporal W. O. Loveridge. Corporal William G. Loveridge, son of Charles Loveridge, Peoria, 111., has been with the fighting forces in France since November, 1917. He is with the 90th Aero Squadron and recently was sent on a "flying trip" over battlefields to get instruments and guns from disabled airplanes. This was an important com- mission for the youth of 20 years. Cor- poral Loveridge 's age at his. last birth- day, September 2, and last reports indi- cate that prospects were good for a speedy promotion. The uncertainty of the mail service is responsible for the fact that the parents of the young avia- tor had no word from him between June 9, 1918, and November 10, 1918. Fami- lies which do not hear promptly from soldiers may therefore take heart. Pittsburgh Recruits Return. Later arrivals from camp and can- tonment, from naval training station and from actual war service overseas to Pittsburgh include Samuel McClements II, who has been serving at Pier 19 since the beginning of the war; Samuel P. Gidas, who has seen six months of inten- sive training at Camp Dix and one month at Camp Merritt, whence he was on the point of embarking for France when the armistice was signed; Thomas McKee Elliott, who has returned to the offices of the Elliott Co. from Camp Joseph E. Johnson, and Geo];ge C. Mc- Callum, who arrived in time for Christ- mas at home. Rupert, Ida. — The Rupert Floral Co. recently donated to the Junior Red Cross girls two pots of tuberoses, a bouquet of heliotrope and another of roses. A small stand was put up on the sidewalk, where the girls sold smells at 5 cents each. They cleared $12 and then sold the plants for $1 more, sent the roses to the sick, divided the helio- trope among themselves and felt well repaid for their work. Frands X.

Nearly all directions for using mulch for the protection of outdoor plants say not to put on the mulch until the ground is frozen solid. From our experience here, however, we take exception to the rule. In the severe climate of Idaho, with an altitude of 4,200 feet, we find most of the winter-killing is done by the dry zero winds. Neither windbreaks nor irrigating water would be consid- ered as mulch, but both are extensively used here to prevent winter-killing. It has often been proved that plants well wet before winter sets in are less apt to be killed than those left dry. Mulch- ing with brush or cornstalks, or even a wire fence, answers the same purpose in that it collects the snow which other- wise blows off. We mulch lettuce and spinach with coarse material, which has the threefold advantage of partial shade, holding moisture and breaking the wind. We use manure mulch in our hotbed frames to prevent the ground freezing up and, for the same purpose, we spread it on ground we wish to sow early sweet peas on. We mulch our roses as soon as the fall frosts have checked the growth and find it more advantageous than to leave them until winter, as others do, only to find them already winter-killed. The great difficulty with mulching strawberries, as well as some perennials, is the presence of the straw in the irri- gating rills next spring. To avoid this, we use either fine manure or poultry manure and try to force a heavy growth during the fall, so that the plants will supply their own protection. Everyone who does any gardening knows the advantages of the dust mulch. The phrase originated with the orchard- ists who perfected implements to main- tain it in their orchards. It is simply cultivation brought down to a fine point and is beneficial whether the area to be cultivated is a 4-inch pot, a flower garden or a 40-acre orchard. H. C. Bateham. THE PLANT aTJABANTINE. In The Review of December 19 A. H. Graham, in criticising the action of our government with regard to the plant quarantine that goes into effect next June, says, "We have suffered about enough from the pernicious activities of swivel chair theorists tampering with practical matters." The fact is that one of the trade's biggest handicaps has been the lack of "swivel chair" theory. But now that the business has grown and wages are on a par with those in other trades, American spirit, coupled with American ingenuity and advanced ideas, has come into the trade and, with the help and protection of our government, we may hope to see new de- velopments in our country, which is de- veloping the finest brains in the world. I am glad to read of the quarantine. The Belgians vdll understand the need for it. In a letter to an English trade paper from Jules De Puysseleyr, of Loochristy, quoted in the same issue, it is stated that many a Belgian nursery now has no plants at all. Then why worry! Palms have practically disappeared and there is no young stock at hand. It seems to me we should think of the old adage, "Necessity is the mother of inven- tion." American talent is at work developing in this country those plants that for- merly came from Europe and, with a lit- tle encouragement, wonders may be ac- complished, and employment found for many of the men returning from the army. Harry A. Dubuis. mas crops are out of the way. A mini- mum of 45 degrees to 50 degrees will suffice. Be careful not to wet the foli- age too much on dark days and to ven- tilate carefully, or you may get mildew on the foliage. The plants can have 60 degrees at night, once the growths are two or three inches long. Be sure not to crowd the plants. As hydrangeas are thirsty subjects, see that they never be- come dry. They also need feeding every four or five days with liquid manure or a chemical surfacing until the heads show color. C. W. FOBCING FRENCH HYDBANQEAS.

Its merits are that it is easy to grow, it has dark green foliage, upright leaves, always a good stem three or four feet long, a pure white, ball-shaped flower with incurved petals, averaging seven inches in diam- eter, which appears ready to cut two or three weeks before it is full-grown. The mum ships well also. We began cutting flowers of this variety Novem- ber 20 and cleaned up on them at Thanksgiving, though we could have held them easily until December 20. They brought the best price paid in the wholesale market here. P. B.— N. T. MB bench that gets full light in a carnation- house temperature. When the young plant has grown large enough to make a cutting and still leave a fair-sized plant, remove the top for a cutting. It will not be long before new growth will start from both sides and base of the plant. These new shoots make the best cuttings and the plant will continue to furnish them until late in the spring. One good feature about this variety is that its small, dark green, upright foliage allows close planting. Some growers have Icomplained about the wood hardening up and not growing away freely enough to produce sufficient stems, but when this can be overcome, it is a valuable late white for commer- cial purposes. Elmer D. Smith & Co. advertised it in their 1918 catalogue. C. W. Johnson. The name of the variety is White Bonnaffon. It is not a sport of the yellow Major Bonnaffon, but a seedling raised by Elmer D. Smith & Co., of Adrian, Mich., and disseminated by this firm in 1900. White Bonnaffon is a good commercial variety for anyone who has a demand for a late white bloom of medium size, but it was found to be hardly large enough to stand the com- petition of the open market. Another thing against the variety is that it does not furnish cuttings freely from the stock plant.

' 17 MISLEADING THE PUBLIC. ^laccurate Newspaper Statements. The members of the trade in Chicago were surprised and disturbed at an un- favorable article which appeared in the leading Sunday newspaper, the Tribune, December 22. It was interesting to note that practically every florist had seen the offending paragraph and that there was general remark that the paper should be so disregardful of the facts and the trade " interests as to tell its readers that flowers are "all at stagger- ing prices" and that the bird's-nest fern is the only "new novelty." The article said in part: ^ What the Tribune Said. "A problem of great magnitude faces the retail florists all over the country this Christmas. Never in the history of the flower business has there been such a shortage of cut flowers. The florists who have the knack of making a few flowers go a long ways in combinations of green and other materials in baskets and vases are the ones who are going to win. Prices are very high. Even in roses and carnations the supply is low. There are some sweet peas, a few violets, lilies of the valley, and a fairly good showing of Scotch heather. There are few other varieties in evidence, and all at staggering prices. The demand seems heavier than in other seasons. "The same conditions prevail in the stock of flowering plants. The growers have been handicapped by shortage of coal and labor. There are, however, good specimen plants of cyclamen, poin- settas, begonias, with the usual cbllec- tion of foliage and ferns, including va- rieties of berry plants. The only new novelty in the plant line is the birdsnest fern. This has bright green, glossy leaves and is beautiful. Several of the largest specimens of Scotch heather ever seen in this city are on display. These are California products. The berried ardiesia is the rarest plant in the col- lection. Celestial and bird 's-eye peppers are in favor. We may have a few azaleas later." There was more in- the same vein. Calling Editor's Attention. Believing that such misinformation would not be published if the editor of the Tribune knew the facts, the editor of The Review sent the following letter: Edward S. Beck, , Managing Editor, The Tribune, Chiongo, 111. My dear Mr. Beck: — In behalf of the Indus- try this journal represents, may I not venture a protest on such articles as "Flowers for Christmas" in the Sunday Tribune of Decem- ber 22? Even if the facts were as stated, I think the World's Greatest Newspaper might well refrain from such statements as "Prices are very high" anil "All at staggering prices" — florists have had enough to contend with during the war so that It is scarcely due them to scare their cus- tomers away now that peace has returned. But the fact Is that the prices of flowers this Christmas are not advanced so much as are the prices of other commodities. The best grade of roses brings forty per cent to fifty per cent more than in recont years of low prices, but please remember tliat the public pays forty per cent more for your Sunday Tribune and 100 per cent more for the weekday issue. There is another matter wliich will Interest you: Your story speaks of the bird's-nest fern as the only "new novelty" (respectfully referred to B. L. T. for his School of Tautology). The bird's-nest fern is Asplenium Nidus-avis. Nichol- son's Dictionary of Gardening has record of Its description as far back as 1820. There is no record of what part of the last hundred years the bird's-nest fern has been an item of com- merce, but I have been In this trade for more tlian twenty years and the bird's-nest fern was in Chtcago flower stores when I started.

May I close with an Invitation to use the facilities of this office whenever you wish to get the facts with regard to any matter concerning the florists' business? With compliments of the season, I urn. Very truly yours. The heads of large newspapers pride themselves on their accuracy.

If the volume of business for the holi- day season is any criterion of condi- tions, the tsade is on a firm foundation. Stock of all classes and grades found ready buyers and much more could have been used to advantage. Growers every- where are planning to increase their areas, encouraged by the liberality of the holiday purchases. The holidays in- augurate this year a season of social festivities which doubtless will continue throughout the winter and promise& to be marked by more thai* the usual elab- oration in the rejoicing over the return of peace. That is one reason why stock This is the same worm which attacks cabbages and other members of the brassica family outdoors. It also at- tacks calceolarias, mignonette and some primulas under glass, as well as ciner- arias. It is the larva of a white butter- fly which you will see in quantity in the late autumn. On cinerarias, careful hand- picking is the best remedy. C. W. TO DESTROY MEALY BXTO. Is there any way of keeping mealy bug in check other than hand-picking? H. E. C— O. The force ^f water from a hose, espe- cially when directed through a fine noz- zle, is an effective cure for mealy bug. There are also several insecticides which will cripple or kill these pests. Hand- picking may be a good remedy, but no one in business has the time to hand- pick mealy bugs. C. W. isfotion and ESSENTIALS OF CONTRACTS. There are some fundamentals concern- ing contracts that are clearly stated in elementary law books, and there are some fundamentals in merchandising that are often restated by experienced traders. A little bit of freshening up on these things may help to clarify some of the fogs that are sure to be encoun- tered from time to time. Here are some of the things that ap- pear in most of the law primers and are quite as familiar in substance to mer- chants as they are to lawyers: "The law presumes that the parties to every contract deal fairly and hon- estly with each other, and authorizes each of the parties to assume such fair- ness and honesty on the part of the other." "The actual contract consists in the meeting of the minds of the parties upon the same thing and in the same sense. In other words, the thing intended to be proposed and actually proposed on one side must be in all material respects the very thing intended to be accepted and actually accepted on the other. In the absence of this meeting there can be no contract." "Any contract is broken by the fail- ure of either party to do or to refrain from doing the thing which he agreed to do or not to do in the manner, time and place in which it was agreed to be done or not done." "Contracts are said to be express when the mutual promises of the parties are declared in so many words, either orally or in writing. They are implied when the law presumes the existence of such promises from the acts or circum- stances of the parties." There are certain essentials that great merchants regard as binding for their own protection. One is that trading shall be mutually advantageous. An- other is that sustained prosperity in a business cannot be had unless a reason- able effort is made to conserve the inter- ests of the customer rather than take down an inordinate profit. And still another is that the best protection for a business is full confidence in the in- tegrity of contracts and those who make them, the latter being known as the moral risk of trade, which to some men is the sine qua non of commercial life. 18 The Florists^ Review Dkcbmbbb 26. 1918. A SPIKE OF SFEOIOSUM. An unusual spike it was, as the illus- tration testifies. In number of blooms it almost reached the century mark, carrying ninety-five flowers and buds early in July, when the photograph was taken. However, it was not pre- cisely a Lilium speciosum, but was the variety of speciosum known as Mel- pomene, which has much deeper-colored flowers than the type, besides being somewhat different in habit of growth. As most florists know, the flowers of L. speciosum are white, more or less suf- fused with rose-pink in the center of the perianth-segments and plentifully spotted with claret-red. But the Mel- pomene flowers have only a narrow mar- gin of white and are elsewhere a rich, bright crimson or carmine-crimson, spotted with red. On sending to The Eeview the photo- graph from which the illustration was made, the correspondent referred to the spike as "a fine fasciated stalk of Lil- ium speciosum Melpomene, one of sev- eral stalks in an 8 -inch pot." Any florist who wishes to add to his supply of blooms in midsummer, when flowers frequently are scarce, will find that the different varieties of speciosum are well adapted for the purpose. The bulbs from Japan usually arrive late in autumn or in the winter. A satis- factory way to treat them is to pot them in good loam, placing about three bulbs in a 7-inch or 8-inch pot and covering them slightly with the soil. If, without being watered, they are then set under a cool bench where they are not soaked with drip but are only moderately moist, they will remain almost dormant for seven or eight weeks. When they have made a few inches of growth they should be removed from under the bench, but should continue to have a cool, shaded, well ventilated position. As they bloom in midsummer, a cool temperature and shade are con- ducive to strength in the plants, and to size and durability in the flowers. They should not receive much water until well rooted. After starting growth, however, they form roots rapidly and thenceforth require an abundance of water. As green fly is partial to them, they need an occasional fumigation. Some growers plant speciosums singly in 6-inch pots. Other growers argue that better results can be secured by planting in boxes instead of pots, as the roots are less liable to dry out in boxes. The boxes generally used are six inches deep and the bulbs are placed about six inches apart. PITTSBUROH. The Market. Stock of all varieties has been so scarce that it is difficult to make com- parisons of Christmas business with that of former holiday seasons. A com- bination of circumstances unprecedented has arisen to occasion tmis shortage. Excessive funeral demands, although lessened, continue; cloudy skies, of late, have been a factor; and the majority of growers, owing to fuel restrictions, did not fire their boilers sufficiently early in the season, hoping to make the supply of coal last until spring. It is expected that later, with the elimination of the epidemic, there will be a glut in excess of any previous surplus of the midwinter season. Prices, of course, were exceedingly high. American Beau- ties brought $15 per dozen wholesale. While a few of the short-stemmed Beau- ties came in, the dealers made prac- tically no effort to handle them. Russell, Prima Donna and Columbia were listed as high as 75 cents apiece. Carnations were $15 per hundred, while Paper White narcissi were $6 and $8 per hun- dred and scarce. With the one excep- tion of stevia, which was 75 cents per bunch, there was practically no change in the prices for greens. Various Notes.

Young Samuel McClements, who has been serving at Pier 19 since the begin- ning of hostilities, returnea to Pitts- burgh a fortnight ago, but has been un- able to have much conversation with his father, owing to the latter 's stren- uous life in anticipation of the holiday season. On Baum street near the firm's building, Randolph & McClements used a large vacant lot for the sale of Christ- mas trees, Samuel P. Gidas has returned from seven months of service in uniform and is again installed at his old post with the Alpha Floral Co, Following six months' training with Company 25, of the U, S. Infantry, at Camp Dix, Mr, Gidas spent a month at the embarkation Camp Merritt, whence he was on the point of sailing when the war ended. Thomas McKee Elliott has returned from his brief sojourn at Camp Joseph E. Johnson and is again installed in charge of the office of the Elliott Nurs- ery Co. William Andrews, an old-time ac- countant and shipper for the E, C, Lud- wig Floral Co,, together with Mrs, Lud- wig's nephew, Roy C. Engel, was in the designing department during the holiday season. Boy Scout officials here have been no- tified to cease the hunt for black walnut trees, although the planting of the wal- nut for future purposes is recommended, not for the ends of war but for the aims of peace. The walnut wood is to be used for blades for propellers in the aircraft industry. The purpose of the govern- ment, as set forth in the communication, is the restoration of the walnut to its normal commercial position. What Uncle Sam now has on hand will be turned into aircraft material or gun- stock blanks. John Matsukes, who has been making a ten days' visit with friends in Chi- cago, returned home in time to resume work on the staff of the Liberty florists. George C. McCallum returned home unexpectedly from New York December 23, having been released from the serv- ice upon his request just as he was about to be assigned to an ocean-going steamer. Earl Tipton, who is identified with the salesroom of the McCallum Co., is again on duty following a week's ab- sence. E. E. S. INDIANAPOUS. The Market. Roses and carnations were the main- stay of the Christmas market. They cleared readily at the highest prices ever known in this city, ranging from $5 to $35. Carnations varied in price according to quality from $8 to $15, all. good blooms making the latter. The demand for funeral work con- tinued unusually heavy throughout the week. Calla lilies were in good supply and were used largely for this purpose. Callas of quality r^ke $2.50 and $3 per dozen. Easter and rubrum lilies have been scarce. Poinsettias were limited in quantity at from $3 to $6 per dozen. Both yellow and white narcissi were in the market, the white at $5 per hundred, the yellow at $6. Some good stevia was available at 50 cents per bunch. Sweet peas and violets were rare. Marguerites, calen- dulas, mignonette and pansies in small quantity were offered. The Christmas greens market was good, the supply being limited, while the demand was brisk and prices high. Loose holly has been in evidence at from $8 to $10 per case. Laurel has been short, also lycopodium, Christmas trees were few in number and high in price. Frieze roping and all artificial orna- ments met with ready sale. Mistletoe was practically out of the market by the first of the week. Various Notes. Frank Hasselman was brought home the other day from his farm at Wave- land, Ind., ill with pneumonia. He is on the road to recovery now. The early part of the week, John Rie- man was at home sick, but is back on the job again now. Harry Bookedis, the Claypool Hotel Florist, has infiuenza, and Frank Sohles, of the same firm, also has been ill. A. Wiegand's Sons Co. had its win- dows arrayed in Christmas attire and made an attractive display. A frontage on Illinois street of 125 feet was gay with seasonable plants, including be- gonias, azaleas, cherries, poinsettias, made-up pots, hampers, etc. In the main store window a color scheme of red, green and silver was carried out in red and silver ruscus, poinsettias and baskets featuring candles. Another unusual display was staged in Green's Flower Shop. Here fancy pottery and fruits, featured with Christ- mas plants, showed what can be done V ., Dbcbhbbb 26, 1018. The Florists* Review 19 in a time of scarcity of flowers in ar- ranging an attractive window. A. F. J. Baur states that he will have the carnation schedule in the mail in just a few days. Arrangements are be- ing made for a big peace celebration at the Carnation Society convention. The society is desirous of having the co- operation of the S. A. F. for this event. Baur & Steinkamp's new carnation, Buth Baur, has excited great admira- tion among the tradesmen, some hav- ing come many miles to see it. Among late visitors to see this plant were S. S. Skidelsky, Joseph Hill and Mr. Hen- ningsen. Mr. Hill motored over in his new 1919 Hudson. Temperley's supplied the local market with Lorraine and Chatelaine begonias, cyclamens, Jerusalem cherries, azaleas and exceptional Primula obconica for the holiday trade. This firm has a fine new seedling red Chatelaine begonia, Christmas Gift, that it intends to put on the market next year. This is iden- tical in growth with pink Chatelaine and flowers as profusely. Bertermann Bros. Co. grew splendid azaleas and good stevia for Christmas. John Heidenreich had good poinsettias and cyclamens. William Eoepke went to Chicago for stock. He has been bringing in excel- lent Primula rosea. Never before in the history of the trade have so many artificial flowers and other decorative substitutes been used as during the last few weeks. Pa- per flowers, ribbons, dyed leaves, etc., baskets, candles, in fact, anything at- tractive for decorative purposes has been utilized. John Hartje and A. Kempe visited among the sweet pea growers of the city last week and saw that peas for Christmas would be at a premium. F. A. Conway is cutting an abundance of good calla lilies. H. J. Battreall, well known to the trade as "Bat," has just received an honorable discharge from the navy. Formerly he was with A. Wiegand's Sons Co., but is now at Green's Flow- er Shop. E. E. T. OBITUARY SPOTS ON BXTBBEB PLANTS. I have several rubber plants and they are apparently healthy, with no scale or other insects, but the leaves develop brown spots which in a short time cover the whole leaf, starting at the edge and working toward the center. Can you tell me what the trouble is and what the remedy? R. V. B.— N. M. Probably deficiency of moisture at the roots is the main source of the trouble. Rubber plants never should be allowed to become dry at the roots It is possible that your plants have a disease with which I am not acquainted. If so, it is probably a fungoid affection and spray- ing with Bordeaux mixture as soon as it makes its appearance should check it. C. W. COLD STORAGE LILIES. Should cold storage lily bulbs be left in a cool house after potting t J. M. K.— Wis. Lily bulbs will start much better in a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. Gigan- teums, whether fresh bulbs or cold stor- age, start better in a fairly warm house. 0. W. Andrew Masson. Pneumonia, following influenza, claimed one more victim December 17 in the person of Andrew Masson, super- intendent on the estate of Mrs. Louis Frothingham, formerly Miss May S. Ames, North Easton, Mass. Mr. Mas- son's illness was a brief one. A native of south Scotland, the deceased came to America while young. After work- ing on estates in Pomf ret. Conn., and Brookline, Mass., he went to North Easton seven years ago. He laid out and planted the new estate with excel- lent taste and was one of the cleverest, most conscientious and faithful of em- ployees. His loss is keenly felt in the community where he resided, as was evidenced by the large and sympathetic gathering December 20, when funeral services were held from his late home. Mr. Masson leaves a widow and lit- tle daughter, for whom great sympathy is felt, also a brother and sister in America. He was a member of the Na- tional Association of Gardeners and of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston, also of Easton Grange, P. of H. Numerous floral tributes bore elo- quent testimony to the esteem in which he was held. , W. N. C. John Bresnahan. John Bresnahan, for eighteen years head gardener on the Bryce-AUen estate, Beverly Cove, died December 17 in the Beverly hospital after a short illness. He was a native of Ireland and highly esteemed among the north shore gar- deners. W. N. C. Mrs. Augusta C. Mather. Lrs. Augusta C. Mather, the pioneer floirist of Rockland, Me., died at her home in that city December 12, after an illness, of nearly ten years. She was 79 years x)ld November 30, last. Mrs. Mather Hn her younger days was a tele- graph operator and went to Rockland as manager of the telegraph office there. After thirty-one years of service in that capacity, she resigned in 1892 and es- tablished the greenhouse range at Pleas- ant and Purchase streets. With the assistance of her husband, Albert I. Mather, and her son, Harry A. Mather, she built up a large business. Since her retirement ten years ago, the establish- ment has been conducted by the husband and son. During her career, Mrs. Mather became intimately acquainted with a number of prominent persons, among them being James G. Blaine, Thomas A. Edison and Frank A. Munsey. She was a member of a number of fraternal or- ganizations and was widely known among the florists' trade. The business will be continued under the present man- agement. Wilbur A. risk. Wilbur Augustus Fisk, for more than a quarter of a century president of W. E. Barrett & Co., dealers in seeds and agricultural implements, Providence, R. I., died December 16, after a long ill- ness, at his home in that city. He was in his seventy-sixth year. He suffered a stroke of paralysis about eight years ago and for the last four years had been an invalid, being confined to bis home most of the time. He came to Providence from Bethel, Vt., where he was born October 4, 1843, and as a young man entered the employ of W. E. Barrett & Co. That was forty- four years ago, but in 1878, having mar- ried a daughter of Mr. Barrett, he was admitted to the firm and when the busi- ness was incorporated in 1898 he was elected president, which office he re- tained until his death. He took a per- sonal interest in everything pertaining to agriculture and horticulture and to his management was largely due the growth and prosperity of the concern. He was a member of the Rhode Island Horticultural Society and the old Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, which for many years conducted the big annual fairs at Narragansett Park. He was also one of the members of the Florists* and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island and was affiliated, previous to his illness, with the West Side Club, Union Club, Squantum Club and the Providencp Athletic Association. He is survived by his wife and one daughter. W. H. M. Charles A. Bellows. Charles A. Bellows, for many years a member of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Horticultural Society, died at his home in Adamsdale, Mass., December 20, at the age of 72 years, following an illness of three weeks, caused by a com- plication of diseases. Mr. Bellows was born in Slatersville, R. I., June 7, 1846. For many years in his younger days he was employed as^ a conductor on the New York, New Haven & Hartford r^lroad, but for upwards of a score of years he had conducted a florists' business. He was a member of Good Samaritan Lodge of Odd Fellows and of Cumberland Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, for the last twenty-five years. He is survived by his wife and a number of relatives. On Thanksgiv- ing day, r917, he celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. W. H. M. D. Mendels. D. Mendels, of the firm of Freyling & Mendels, Grand Rapids, Mich., died at his home on Wealthy street, December 18, after an illness of only two days' duration. Although he had not been in good health during the last four years, he was at his work until two days be- fore his death. Mr. Mendels was 68 years old August 20. He was born in the Netherlands and came to this country in 1870. He had been engaged in floriculture since 1875. In 1880 he started his present business, with Nicholas Freyling as partner. Mr. Freyling passed away fourteen years ago and was succeeded by his son, Edward N. Freyling. Mr. Men- dels is survived by his wife and one married daughter. Besides being a successful business man, he was a man of exemplary habits and stanch principles. He was a prom- inent member of the Reformed church and zealous in its interests and philan- thropies.

There should be a good demand for 2 1/^ -inch rose plants next spring, so many growers did no replanting last season. A MAN ma^^iow his business ever so thoroughly, but it gets him nothing in the florists' trade unless he works at it. In days of old, the commission men had to placate the grower; now it is the re- tailer wlio is kicking. Trulv, ''life's a strife. ' ' Transpokt.vtion troubles have been no more than normal this Christinas. Few of us ever will forget the experience of Christmas 1917. With the transfer order department in representative stores showing a turn- over of $1,000 to $.'},000 per month, in proportion to the effort made to get busi- ness, no retailer can afford to neglect it. The Editor's Desk was decorated over the holiday by a vase of Christmas Gold, a pompon chrysanthemum of the button type, sent by the Friedley Co., Cleveland, O. It promises to be useful because of the lateness of its season. The idea prevails that it will be pos sible to sell spring bedding plants in 1919 at prices proportionate to the cost of production, which has not l)een ac- complished for several years. A whole- sale price of 15 cents for ^vell grown 4-inch geraniums is one of the values suggested. There are those who believe that the new plant exclusion order must soon be modified in many respects because of its numerous inconsistencies. For instance, why exclude gladiolus and scores of less important bulbs if narcissi, hyacinths and tulips are admitted? What danger to AmericiM' iigricnlture can lie in one if not the (-t^ier? Use that empty house for asters ; don 't let space be idle. Grow for quality, not quantity, and watch your bank account grow obese. 8o far as plants are concerned, we may look for a repetition of the Christmas shortage at Easter. With this issue The Review completes its eleventh "century." To look ahead, 1,100 weeks is quite a few. If STOCK is extremely scarce during the next three months, as many predict, it simply will serve to stimulate production next season. Dealers report that sphagnum moss will be one of the scarce articles before spring. The price has been boosted, the cost of burlap and labor having become important factors in its cost. Retailers who have recommended the use of baskets for funeral flowers say such arrangements invariably give satisfaction. Among a lot of sprays, wreaths and con- ventional designs, a well arranged basket stands up and makes a show out of pro- portion to the money represented. Some florists will save themselves dis- appointment and dispute if they will read a little more carefully. For instance, fre- quent complaints arrive because some" buyer has failed to note that an adver- tisement says "for" pots of a certain size, not "from" pots of that size. FLOWERS AS GIFTS. "Flowers are always fit presents, be- cause they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." — Emerson thus epito- mizes in his inimitable phrase the mes- sage of the flowers. It has been said that the sending of flowers conveys a double compliment, because they are beautiful but perishable. Hence the selection of flowers, instead of a useful and lasting gift, implies our faith in the ability of the recipient to appreciate the spiritual sentiment behind their fleeting loveliness. FLOWER BUSINESS IN FRANCE. "In prewar years exports of cut flowers, especially during the winter months, were among the sources of pros- perity in this consular district," says the report of William D. Hunter, U. S. consul at Nice, France. "Two special trains daily transported, in postal parcels of five and ten kilos (kilo, 2.2 lbs.), cut flowers in willow baskets to Paris, Lon- don, and the large cities of central Europe and Russia. Although no ofiicial statistics are available, the figures given for the year 1914 by the Chamber of Commerce of this city estimated the number of liaskets sent at 2,200,000 and the total value of the floral production for the Riviera at almost $12,000,000. In this sum were included the flowers produced for the perfumer}' industry. "In the year 1917, the exports of flowers to the Central Powers, Russia and Great Britain ceased, and the num- ber of postal parcels sent to Paris fell off, largely because of lack of adequate communication between Nice and the capital. Although the demand of the perfume industry for flowers was large and the price was high, the lack of men laborers for the hoeing made the produc- tion unremunerative, and many of the flower cultivators used their land for truck gardening." CAUSE AND EFFECT. "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other." The best trade paper, broadly speaking, would be the one that supplies to the grower with every issue timely and re- liable cultural advice for each suc- cessive season, includes news, informa- tion and discussion about everything of trade interest and offers a wide out- look upon every phase of the trade's activities. Such a paper would attract the largest number of readers and would provide therefore the best medium for publicity. Modesty forbids the pub- lication of all the acknowledgments re- ceived at the ofiices of The Review from appreciative subscribers, but the fol- lowing will serve to point the moral: We are enclosing check for renewal of sub- scription to The Reviow. Be sure that we do not miss nn Issue, ns we would surely be lost without it. The Review undoubtedly is the best journal for the grower published In the good old United States. It is a regular encyclopedia for the florist, who needs no other trade paper if he reads The Review. — Enid Floral Co.. Enid, Okla., December 16, 1918. As the logical corollary of the souad- ness of the technical articles supplied by the fltaff of experts contributing to The Review, its liberal policies and comprehensive scope of vision, to say nothing at all of other features which have been factors in attracting to it the largest circulation of all publications in the special field of its adaptation, testimonials to its value as an advertis- ing medium are received constantly in increasing volume at the offices of The Review. The morning's mail illus- trates: Klndl.v omit my ml. ns nil stock ready for sale is sold. — M. S. Etter. iBhlrenianstown, Pa.. December 16, 1918.

The Market. This issue of The Review goes to press in the midst of the Christmas rush, with little change apparent from the market conditions of last week. Stock of all kinds is coming in and going out in large quantities, with advance orders being well taken care of, all things con- sidered, but no sign of any surplus. There were not so many belated ship- ping orders as usual, as most of the or- ders were placed in advance. The last- minute buyer was well warned that if he did not place his orders in advance he would not receive his stock. Mild weather and sun have so increased pro- duction that many of the wholesalers are of the opinion that all last-minute orders can be taken care of. Prices, however, have kept up, the only excep- tion being in the case of carnations. These proved not to be in such great request at the prices asked, the sun helped increase the supply and it de- veloped some growers had been holding stock off last week's big market in the hope of getting still higher prices. Instead thoy got much less, for there was enough good stock so that the old, soft flowers did not realize half last ■■—•'A --»%.■'.- -itr» Decembeb 26, 1918. The Florists^ Review 21 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year To all our Customers and the Trade N extending the compliments of the season we take the opportunity to say that it appears to us that 1919 will be the most prosperous in the his- tory of the Florists' business. It certainly will be so/ for those who push the selling. For New Yearns There will be no heavy supplies of stock, as everylhing has been cut too closely for Christ- mas—but we expect to be able to fill all orders and at prices, except on one or two items, from 30% to 40% below those for Christmas. We are willing to book orders at once on that basis. Order enough — business will be good.

The prices of roses are holding firm, with the short and medium grades in larger demand than the choice stock. Extra fancy stock is relatively more plentiful than other grades, but the supply does not .exceed the demand. After the big shipping days December 22 and 23, most of the wholesale houses being open all day Sunday for the first time in nearly a year, there were few good flowers on hand for city trade, but there were considerable quantities of soft stock, off color. Killarney, Bussell and Milady all showed the bad effects of recent weather conditions. Orchids are meeting with an unusu- ally good demand, but the price is not higher than the oldtime holiday prices. The quality of the stock coming in is exceptionally fine and the retailers re- port a heavy demand for them. Every- thing else in the cut flower line is short of the demand, with prices holding up, the only exception being poinsettias. These are plentiful and there are even a few more than enough to go around. Toward the end of last week quite a few shipments of holly reached the mar- ket, but these were not offered for sale owing to the large number of orders al- ready in the wholesalers' hands. All Christmas greens are on the short side. That it will be the largest Christmas business in the history of this market goes without saying; largest, that is, in money value and returns to the growers. In the Betall Stores. The retail stores were alike in two respects: They were full of customers, A rr«^^feirg ^mpaiiy WHOLESALE FLORISTS 164 North Wabash Avenue L. D. Phone Central 3373 CHICAGO all the employees on the run, apparently doing a record business, and their dis- plays principally were made up of other things than plants and cut flowers. Many retailers doubted their ability to increase their selling prices in propor- tion to the greater cost of cut flowers and bought lightly on that account, while it was the general idea that cut flowers cost too much to use them for decorating the store. Plants were so scarce that few stores obtained all they wanted. Eecourse, then, was had to boxwood, ruscus, etc. With these bas- kets and hampers of green and red the stores were bright and gay; it is open to question if they ever looked more at- tractive to the public. There seemed to be little complaint over prices. While customers went out without buying, it seemed hardly more than usual and it appeared to be taken as a matter of course that prices were higher than usual. What line of Christmas goods was not higher this year? Various Notes. Charles Cowdery, formerly green- house foreman for Edward Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis., has entered the em- ployment of Wietor Bros., in the same capacity. The firm of Kyle & Foerster after January 1 will operate under the name of the Joseph Foerster Co. William P. Kyle sold his interest to Mr. Foerster some time ago and it was their agree- ment that the firm name remain un- changed during 1918. The business will be under the management of Joseph Foerster, as it has been. The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. has opened a New York office, at 50 Broad street. Mr. McKee evidently is getting ready for a boom in greenhouse building. It may be that it was the excellent prices for long Bussells this autumn, or it may be Frank Schramm's fondness for the Knight motor, or it may be the combination of the -two that caused Mr. Schramm to make himself a Christmas present of a brand new Moline De Luxe seven-passenger touring car. Herman Bauske, Jr., has returned from Washington, where he has been serving in the Ordnance Department. It was Edward Enders' thirty-first Christmas with C. A. Samuelson. Michael Fink made a delivery of plants to John Schoepfle's, on Belmont avenue, but when driving away Mr. Fink evidently had his mind on Christ- mas business and was not watching an approaching Belmont avenue car.

A wrecking wagon was not needed for what was left of Mr. Fink's car; a shovel would have sufficed to clear it away. Yes, it was a Ford. Mr. Fink's young son was with him and it was fortunate that neither he nor the boy were injured. Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi- cago Flower Growers' Association, se- cured the release of Edward Hunt from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station to help out over the holidays. Mr. Hunt was with this concern before entering the navy and ■will get his release from active duty early in the new year. He will resume work at his old place. Curtis Kindler, of the Eaedlein Bas- ket Co., has been released from active duty at the Great Lakes Naval Train- ing Station and has resumed his duties with his company. Mr. Kindler goes on the navy reserve list for four years. He enlisted in the navy about six months ago. The demand for cold storage lily bulbs exceeds anything in the previous experi- ence of A. Henderson. He illustrates the anxiety of many buyers by saying that December 21 his house shipped 100 cases, 30,000 bulbs, by express to a grower at Philadelphia. Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, has cut an average of 9,000 roses per day the last two weeks. To illiistrate the mood of the buyers, the American Bulb Co. points to orders for Glory of Noordwijk, a new cream yellow gladiolus, at $60 per hundred. There is an unusual demand for stock of the new and higher priced European varieties, perhaps due to the knowledge that importations will cease after this season because of the new quarantine. Ernst C. Amling, the Maywood grow- er, has been cutting excellent Columbia and is well pleased with this new rose. He had planned to run some of his houses cold after Christmas, to keep within his fuel allotment, and therefore ran the Eussells and Ophelias through the usual resting period, with the result that his Christmas cut of these varieties was less than normal. Mr. Amling be* lieves many other growers followed the same course, which would account for the reduced supply this Christmas. I. Rosnosky, traveler far the W. W. Barnard Co., is in Chicago to spend the holidays. 24 The Florists^ Review Decbmbek 26. 1918. ^ This yS/^eek Only FLORISTS' WIRE No8. 18 to 24 $2.00 per box 56 E.

They have been "as busy as busy could be. ' ' "Never praise the day until even- ing," quoted Emil Buettner, "but I will say that so far I am satisfied with this season." Mr. Buettner cut slightly more than 40,000 roses in the week be- fore Christmas. Foreseeing a shortage of cut flowers, A. Van Gelder stocked up heavily on artificial flowers. He says he has had the best demand for this class of mer- chandise ever experienced by his com- ]>any and that the supply line has be- come a big factor in the business of Percy Jones, Inc.

In the December 23 issue of The Tri- bune, the Fleischman Floral Co. ran a full page advertisement on Christmas flowers in which prices were quoted. Edward Mallinson, manager, embodied in the advertisement the statement that owing to present day conditions flowers are higher in price than at this time last year. Visitors. Lieutenant Roy F. Wilcox, of J. F. Wilcox & Sons, Council Bluffs, la., stopped in Chicago December 23 on his way home from Washington, where he has been stationed in the aviation di- vision. He has been honorably dis- cliarged from the service. S. Thallas, of Sioux City, la., bought lieavily of cut flowers the early part of the week to make sure of getting certain kinds of stock. He did his own ]iacking in one of the wholesale houses, where he gathered his stock from around tlie market. C. L.

Owing to scarcity of stock, the mar- ket has been in the hands of tlie sellers entirely; consequently jnices have been high. In every line, holiday figures have been in force, although it is not believed they would have been lower even if the holiday had not been near at hand. The laws of supply and de- mand are in splendid working order and retailers are passing the taxes to the ultimate consumer in tlie best way possible. The supply of flowers for the holidays will undoubtedly be found insufficient, but it was not expected that flower prices would advance further, as they were considered to be at the maximum already. An exception to the geneial rule of things was found in orchids and gar- denias, which were really in oversupply, notwithstanding the time of the year; consequently prices tumbled to prac- tically half what tli^y were last week. The finest cattlcyas were to be had at 50 cents, and the best gardenias brought only $.") per dozen, with other grades running at $2. Violets were "out of sight," both in quantity and price, December 20, only six boxes having arrived, and sj)ecials brought $3 per hundred. It is said that the growers along the Hudson are ship- ping their cut to western markets, and this accounts for the shortage. Carnations have been better in qual- ity and moved quickly in spite of the high prices. The best reds December 21 were bringing 15 cents, Mrs. C. W. Ward and other fancy grades as much as 12 cents and any grade which did not bring 10 cents was certainly poor. Arrivals became heavier every day, but Decembbb 26, 1918.

The supply of sweet peas is increas- ing and promises to be heavy after the holidays. With violets going west, the demand for peas is expected to be strong, as they will be used extensively instead of violets. Quantities of other flowers are arriv- ing, such as calendulas, bouvardia, snapdragon, pansics, stcvia, wallflowers and mignonette, but all clean up well. One or two varieties of chrysanthemums are lingering, among them the pink Godfrey, a single variety which sells well and is among tlie best of its type. Lilies are not in heavy supply, but are sufficient for the demand, which is light, due largely to the high price, 20 cents being asked for the best. Rubrum lilies move well at 5 to 10 cents. Lily of the valley is both scarce and poor; its use is avoided as much as possible. Callas are plentiful at 15 to 25 cents. Poinsettias have been in the market for a week or more, but arc only now really in demand. Some unusually large flowers are available, and bring as much as 75 cents each, with a good grade at 50 cents and smaller down to 25 cents. Christmas trees have been short in supply, and late prices were as high as $5 per bundle of three. Holly also has been scarce, and the price advanced from $6 to $10. Greens were plentiful, but moved at prices considerably higher than those in force last year. Christmas this year was remarkable for the smallest supply of cut flowers in two decades, with prices not alto- gether out of proportion to those of other years at the same season. Various Notes.

His absence from the December meeting of the New York Florists' Club was generally re- marked upon as an indication that all was not well with him. Many members of the New York Flo- rists' Club and their families were guests at a tea given by the National League for Woman's Service, at its headquarters at 257 Madison avenue. Invitations were sent to every member of the club, and the tea was given as a token of appreciation of the club's cooperation with the league in its work of flower distribution at the military hospitals. Arthur Herrington, of Madison, N. J., was in town last week and read to his friends a letter he had just received from Alfred Dimock, of London, Eng- land, who was well known here a few years ago as the representative of Sander & Sons, the orchid specialists, of St. Albans, England. The letter was interesting as containing news, which no longer could be censored, of the air raids in and around London. Mr. Di- mock's oflSce windows were shattered in one of the raids and during another he was compelled to rush to safety. Twice, he said, Covent Garden market, the home of the London wholesale flo- rists, was bombed, great damage result- ing.

Providence never approached a major holiday with such a dearth of flowers as on the present occasion. The abnormal demand for funeral purposes, together with the consequent shortage from clos- ing off of large numbers of greenhouses, combined to make so limited a supply that almost any price is being paid. Quotations exceed anything known in this market in many years, and what these would be at the holiday itself was beyond the ken of anyone. The prospect of supplies for the holiday week was more discouraging than during the week just closed. Carnations are quoted De- cember 21 at $8 to $15 per hundred; roses were $15 to $35 per hundred; lilies $16 to $25 per hundred, and even at these figures the supply was limited. Various Notes. The Budlong Bose Co., Auburn, is making heavy shipments of roses to Bos- ton and New York. T. O'Connor had a largely increased force to handle the large number of Christmas orders on potted stock. Johnston Bros., Dorrance street, had an unusually heavy demand for decora- tive potted plants. William H. liowers, of Washington street, returned the first of the week from a several days' trip through New England after stock. Vose the Florist, Woonsocket, has been making a big drive on narcissus bulbs. Fred C. Green, superintendent of parks, has reported to the police that several rare spruce and evergreen trees have recently been stolen from Eoger Williams park. Conrad Schultz, of Westerly, was a business visitor to this city and Boston last week. Charles Smith, of Washington street, spent a part of last week at Hartford, Conn. During his trip he visited the Pierson greenhouses, at Cromwell. W. H. M. ST. LOUIS.

YOUR The Market. Although the wholesale cut flower market was in good condition last week, it was hard to predict December 21 what would be the supply for Christmas. It was certain, however, that stock would not be overplentiful and that prices would be high — higher, in fact, PROTECTION Kennicott Bros. Co. Whoiesale Dealer* in Cut Flowere and Plants since 1881 CHICAGO than were ever asked at this season of the year. During the last part of the week prices slumped, as, outside of a large demand for funeral work caused by the influenza epidemic, there was little demand at the retail stores.

The last part of the week the price for fancy grades dropped to $12.50 per hun- dred, although it was expected they would rise to $15 and $20 for Christ- mas. Eoses, too, demand high prices. It was expected there would be a good supply for Christmas, although advance orders were thought to be large enough to clean up the market. Violets took a drop last week to $1 per hundred, but it was thougnt they would be around $2 for the holiday. Paper Whites were in demand at $10 per hundred. Valley, sweet peas, Easter lilies and calendulas were in excellent demand. Cut poin- settias are scarce. The market is well supplied with greens. Various Notes. As the date for the next meeting of the St. Louis County Growers' Associa- tion is January 1, it will be postponed. Secretary Deutschmann will notify the members of the new date. Frank X. Gorly, W. A. Rowe and A. S. Cerny, who spent several days last week in the Chicago market, have returned and say that the conditions here as to quality and quantity of stock are better than in the Windy City. The St. Louis Seed Co. had an extra fine lot of holly and lycopodium for Christmas and cleaned it up nicely. August Hummert says his company has received a shipment of cabbage seed from Holland. F. H. Weber has received word that two of his former employees, Paul Heil, who has been at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, 111., and Adolph Steidle, who trained at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., have received their discharges and will return to their former positions. He hoped they would reach St. Louis in time for the Christ- mas rush. The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. put a new Hupmobile delivery truck in service last week. Guy Reburn, of Chicago, spent last week in St. Louis calling on the trade. He reports large sales of gladiolus bulbs and bedding plants. Henry and William Meier, of Kirk- wood, cut chrysanthemums up to De- cember 21.

The Market. This report is written on the evening of the shortest day of the whole year, a time when a market report would natu- rally be as short as the day on which it is written, because it is just before Christmas. It is not going to be short this time; there is too much to tell, too much of unusual interest. It is the first of the last three shopping days, a day when the market naturally is buoyant because of the many orders for select stock that are going out and because of the many more orders that are still to go. Buoyant is a term that only faintly de- scribes the tone of the market today. For the whole week the market has been brisk, at prices equal to those of last Christmas. Stock has kept moving with no accumulation. Today prices are higher, decidedly, than they were last Christmas, with every indication that they will go higher still. The growers have wisely kept sending their stock in as fast as it was fit, taking full advan- tage of the demand. The result is that there is no stale stock to pull down the really splendid average returns of this month. There has been a temptation to hold flowers back and yet there has been almost no holding back. This means that the flower-loving public will re- ceive fresh flowers this Christmas and fresh flowers will go a long way toward offsetting the evil of high prices, and BERGER BROS. WHOLESALE FLORISTS EASTER LILIES CARNATIONS, STEVIA, VIOLETS, GREENI^ ORDER EARLY, PLEASE 1225 Race St. PHILADELPHIA Mention The Review when you write. high prices are a necessary evil this year, for flowers are scarce, extremely scarce, indeed, and with increased cost of pro- duction prices are dangerously high. A few growers have as much stock as in former years at the holidays, but the great majority of growers have nothing like their usual supply. This is clearly shown in the case of Cypripedium in- signe. Generally this modest flower is used to help fill the gap just before Christmas and is much sought by some at Christmas at prices ranging from $12 to $15 per hundred. Today, order after order for Cypripedium insigne has been refused because the stock was all bought up in advance by those who foresaw what was coming. The market price on Beauties was $85 a hundred two years ago at Christmas, and $75 a hundred last year. Today it is $100 to $125 a hundred, with the supply rapidly disap- pearing. Carnations have been $10 per hundred for some time. Now they are $10 to $12, with some red at $15 and an occasional sale even higher. Short- stemmed roses, and they are extremely short-stemmed, are sold at $8, $10 and $12 per hundred, while anything ap- proaching dignity in stem and foliage goes much higher, especially in yellow and in red.

Early in the week it was thought that cat- tleyas would be plentiful, but now the orders have taken most of them at as much as, sometimes more, than, the figures just quoted on Mrs. Charles Eussell. The bright, warm weather has brought in more sweet peas than were expected, so many, in fact, that they may be called plentiful at times. The price is from $1.50 to $3, with a few extra peas at $4. Double violets are scarce. The planting has been lighter and there is said to be disease. The best bring $2. Single vio- lets are more plentiful, by comparison, at $1.50.

A tastefully arranged window with a suggestion of Christmas color in ^the cen- ter and tall crotons at one side invited further investigation. Inside was re- vealed a scene of rare beauty. The counters in the front part of the store had been removed for the time being to make room for the better display of a glorious array of plants. A few were single specimens. Many were made-up combinations of flowering and foliage plants and long-handled baskets. There were choice heather, poinsQ^tias, sola- nums, begonias, cyclamens and dracse- nas. There were crotons and Pandanus Veitchii and many, many ferns, all dis- played to great advantage. No crowd- ing, no clash; a well arranged show, with a great Cibotium Schiedei overlooking all, as it were, a sentinel on guard. It was in the store of William Berger's Sons that the scene was laid. The com- mercial side was seen in the price tags clearly marked on each basket or indi- vidual specimen. "The plants are sold," Harry Berger said, "from samples." These were the samples, no two alike, though there were many of them. As many as 100 could be furnished of some; of others, less. There must have been 100 or more samples, some large, all choice.

The statement was made in this col- umn some time ago that the embargo on No. 1 buckwheat coal had been raised. This was fine, but soon afterwards the embargo was put on again and still re- mains in force, although No. 1 buck- wheat coal can be bought. The situation is odd. The National Fuel Administra- tor has resigned, but his resignation has not been accepted. The local fuel ad- ministrators are still in office, but are expected to resign ere long. Soft coal and hard coal smaller than No. 1 buck- wheat are free to all, while No. 1 buck- wheat coal is openly offered by some dealers who say they have a surplus of this size. Flowertown. It is perfectly proper to take license with a name for an occasion. The name of the hamlet in question is spelled Flourtown. It is changed to Flower- town for this week only, as the show- men say, because George E. Campbell has a Christmas crop. So Flowertown it is in good earnest, just for the holi- days. Richmond and Prima Donna are in full bloom. This getting roses in flower for Christmas is a good example of the pennies and the cake. You go without for ten to twelve weeks to have them all at once, or, to be exact, you give up your fall crop to get a Christmas crop.

The Market. Extraordinary conditions prevailed in the cut flower market just before Christ- mas. There was a marked scarcity of stock and all that arrived was eagerly cleaned up at prices far ahead of former years. Growers undoubtedly held back a considerable quantity of flowers, hop- ing for even higher jmces, for which, however, there was not much likelihood, as the extremely high prices discour- aged buying. Retailers pushed plants as much as possible, which also advanced in price, but not so much as cut flow- ers. The weather was remarkably clear and mild and this greatly favored the plantsmen and insured the plants being delivered in prime condition. Roses sold at from $12 per hundred upward and all colors were in demand.

Carnations sold at $12 to $15, a few fancy reds going higher. The clear, mild weather favored a large Christ- mas crop. Violets were scarce. Some nice Spencer peas were in and made up to $5 per hundred. Chrysanthemums were small and of poor quality as a rule. Cut poinsettias sold at from $3 to $6 per dozen bracts. Stevia, wallflowers and calendulas were in fair supply. Cat- tleyas sold at $9 to $15 per dozen, cypri- pediums at $2. The plant trade broke all records and cut flowers were a com- paratively minor issue at the stores. Cyclamens were in the lead. Plants wholesaled at $7.50 each and a few specimens as high as $12. Begonias were second in favor, poinsettias also moving finely. The trade in evergreens was good, but the high prices of every- thing restricted buying somewhat.

Wheeler, Bartsch and Golby are now members. It was voted to have a ladies' night at the January meeting, when officers are to be installed. It was also voted, after remarks by F. E. Palmer, Henry Penn and H. H. Bartsch, to hold a Vic- tory banquet in February. Exhibits in- cluded two large vases of handsome poinsettias from the W. W. Edgar Co., which were awarded a vote of thanks. Chrysanthemum Mistletoe, from Jani- ten & WoUrath Co., was given honor- able mention. Walter H. Golby re- ceived a cultural report of merit for a pair of grandly flowered Cattleya Per- civaliana. He also showed Chinese arti- chokes. L. D. Towle had a handsome, pure white cattleya, Lady Veitch, awarded honorable mention. W. N. Craig received a similar award for a tall-growing Stevia serrata. He also showed the dwarf variety, but considers the taller much the better variety for country florists to grow. H. A. Stevens received honorable men- tion for his new cerise-pink carnation, of which the committee thought most favorably. For the good of the order, there were many valuable suggestions, and floral art, the packing of plants, proper ac- counting and other interesting subjects were suggested for future lectures and discussions. Herman H. Bartsch spoke on "Grow- ing Plants for the Christmas Trade." He said in substance: "Azaleas have been, in my estimation, the queen of Christmas flowers for years, especially the variety Mme. Petrick, which flow- ers easily for the holidays. Now, with the elimination of azaleas, the leading plants are cyclamens, sometimes easy to do, but there are many 'ifs,' 'buts' and 'whys' in their culture. At times they are the most satisfactory plant for both seller and buyer, are easily packed and delivered in excellent condition and there is no trouble in sell- ing every presentable plant each year. Next in popularity come begonias, the Lorraine begonia, first grown commer- cially by W. W. Edgar Co., who pro- cured 750 plants from H. B. May, of Edmonton, London, probably bringing more Christmas money to gfrowers tBan any other plant. It has been out- What are they?

They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M, They save wfare desi^n^ for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and flowers as scarce and high as theyare everywhere this winter. They save lettering. Think of that. If attached to door badges alone, they are worth many times their cosl. What do they cost? They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen cash, and should retail for 50c e&ch, or $6.00 per dozen.

Primula chinensis in bright colors, Mr. Bartsch said, was a good holiday plant, but he had dropped the culture of the handsome P. obconica, owing to its pois- onous properties, although he still had many calls for it. Henry Penn spoke entertainingly on "Handling Christmas Plants at the Store." He said this was a good time for optimism, that the florists had stood the hardest of tests and remained opti- mistic. He liked to spend his Sundays looking over the growers. He believed that the men with long vision usually came out on top. One optimist makes others. Some always saw blue and would ever remain in the rear of the procession. The retailers had made a big advance compared with ten years ago. He heard retailers sometimes boast of making a sale of plants at $25 each; personally he preferred to make many sales at about $4 and cater to the public wants and not high prices. At Christmas, 1917, his firm's sales on the three days of the holiday trade totaled 2,368 plants. He secured addi- tional assistants from the Harvard col- lege employment bureau. Prices were plainly marked on all plants. He con- sidered the delivery much harder than the selling, particularly in severe weath- er. Last year he employed sixty-eight boys and twenty-four autos in making deliveries and the average cost was 28% cents per plant for delivery. The average co^ worked out at about $4 per plant. Higher prices and fewer orders he would consider less healthy. He considered cyclamens the most satisfactory Christmas plant for both seller and buyer and they pack easily. Poinsettias, on the other hand, he said, were hard to pack. Two or three years ago he lost thirty- three per cent of his deliveries, owing to deficient wrapping during a cold wave, and all such plants SOMETHING NEW Better than wrapping paper, almost a^ cheap ECONOMY FLOWER CARTONS Just the thing for LOCAL delivery.

The firm had specimen cyclamens in 14-inch tubs which were of remarkable size and quality. They have 15,000 young cycla- mens for next season and some 35,000 begonia leaves are rooted or rooting in the sand. For Easter they will grow roses, French hydrangeas, yellow and white marguerites and show pelargoni- ums principally. There is a return of the influenza epi- demic and cases are more numerous than for a couple of months. The Christmas crowds at stores, theaters and on cars make matters worse and, while fatal cases are not so numerous as last Octo- ber, there is a possibility that restric- tions may be put in force here again. In a number of towns and cities near Boston schools have been closed for several weeks. John A. Nelson & Son, of Framing- ham, in addition to their usual fine lot of carnations, picked splendid pink Spencer sweet peas for the holidays. William Miller, younger brother of Peter M. Miller, enlisted as soon as war was declared, being among the first to leave Boston. He is now a sergeant major in the British Royal Field Ar- tillery and has served three years at Balonica and eight months in France. He has been three times in a hospital wounded, but is now hale and hearty and has just sent his brother a snap- shot of a handsome lassie, who, he says, is his wife. The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. showed handsome cyclamens, begonias and other holiday plants. They also had a fine lot of evergreens cut and in tubs. Owing to the halls of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society being rented January 21, the ladies' night of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club will be held January 28. The Victory banquet will occur February 26. Norman W. Hunter, a member of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, in a re- cent interesting letter, speaks of seeing a German machine gunner shackled by both ankles to the tracks of a narrow gauge railroad.

Recently we saw an account of a sub- scriber who was cutting out of The Beview all the articles he wished to preserve and pasting them in a book, and tben devising some sort of an index to make the scrapbook usable. We have devised a method which, I believe, beats that all hollow. We number the copies of The Review from 1 to 52 and have them standing in a rack on the desk. Then, for index, we get a box of cards, 200 or more, and cut a piece of pasteboard half the width of the cards to slip down between the cards of each letter. You may use ten cards under letter C, where you would use but one under L, but more cards may be added wherever needed. Now take your copy of The Review. In looking through it, you may find an article on "Aster Blight" which you wish to refer to again. On your index card, you write under A — Aster blight, 1, p. 10. Farther over, on page 18, you find something about "The Culture of Heliotrope," which you wish to pre- serve and you index it under H — Helio- trope Culture, 1, p. 18. So far as The Review articles go, this saves cutting and pasting and the at- tendant difficulty of utilizing articles printed on both sides of a page, but SMILAX SMILAX New Crop Now Ready Orders filled promptly on short notice. $3.00 per case PERPETUATED MOSS $3.50 per ba^ NATURAL MOSS 1.75 per ba^ Wire, Write, Phone t A.

Our primroses are giving trouble; many of their leaves are either dying or making but little growth. Are they al- ways weak in the neck? They seem to be top-heavy and wobble around as if breaking off near the ground. R. F. C— Idaho. You do not state which primroses you are growing. There are several sorts that are used for winter flowering and all are of simple, culture. They thrive best in a compost containing one-fourth to one-third of leaf -mold, not too much decayed, and a good dose of sharp sand to give the compost porosity. All need moderately cool treatment and the usual cause of their becoming leggy is too much heat and shade, or keeping them too far from the glass. P. chinensis is naturally stocky; so is P. obconica. P. malacoides is a better grower and, un- less grown cool and airy, will spread too much. The fact that your plants are "wobbly" at the neck would indicate insufficient firming at potting time and leaving the crowns a little too high. Give all the primulas a temperature of 45 degrees at night, full sun, free ven- tilation and a somewhat dry atmosphere. C. W. Schenectady, N. Y.— A. J. Grupe, who, in addition to the range of houses oper- ated by his son Arthur, has charge of the floral department of one of the largest department stores in the city, was inter- viewed on his return from a tour of the plant growers in this vicinity and ex- presses the opinion that it would be dif- ficult to find better grown stock, both in variety and size, than he saw. It gives evidence of close application on the part of the growers and is encouraging as to possibilities, even in the face of many unpreventable obstacles.

During the last two seed selling sea- sons there has been a sharp falling off in the demand for flower seeds. It should come back this season. The early-bird seed catalogue arrived December 23, somewhat later than usual. This time it was the 1919 general cata- logue of the Holmes-Letherman Seed Co., Canton, O. Isaac Bunting, bulb exporter, Yoko- hama, Japan, is visiting the trade in the United States. At Chicago last week he said no lilies can be expected to come over this season even if restrictions presently are raised. "May the glories of liberty shine each day on our friends and homes in the U. S. A." is the Christmas greeting on an attractive card which is being sent to the trade by Robert Nicholson, of the Home of Purity Brand Seeds, Dallas, Tex. I The War Trade Board has withdrawn the embargo on the importation of plants and bulbs from the country of origin and will issue import licenses without restric- tion. This will let everything come in until June 1, 1919, when the new quar- antine goes into effect. Production of lily bulbs in Bermuda has ' ' greatly diminished, ' ' according to the annual report of Ethelbert Watts, U. S. consul general at Hamilton. The exports of bulbs decreased more than fifteen per cent in 1917, as compared with 1916, dropping from 1,224 to 1,009 cases. SEED CORN TO CANADA. The War Trade Board, after consulta- tion with the United States Department of Agriculture and the Seed Commis- sioner of the Canadian Department of Agriculture, announces in a new ruling (W. T. B. R. 422) that on and after De- cember 10, 1918, licenses will be granted for a limited quantity of seed corn (without restriction as to varieties) for export to Canada. All applications for licenses to export seed corn to Canada in quantities ex- ceeding 100 bushels must have attached thereto a Canadian import permit, issued by the Canada Food Board, Ottawa, Canada, to the consignee for the quan- tity specified in the application for ex- port license. Arrangements have been made with the Canada Food Board whereby appli- cations for licenses to export seed corn in quantities of 100 bushels or less need not be accompanied by a Canadian im- port permit.

"Among these difficulties were, first, the lack of transport, and second, the lack of labor. "As is well known, the shortage of transport and the activity of the sub- marines seriously restricted the free ex- change of commodities. Both export and import were interfered with. Ped- igree stock seeds, raised in this country and ordinarily sent abroad to better seed-raising districts for producing seed in large quantities, were often held up, and, as a consequence, the supplies, which should be returned to this coun- try, were not forthcoming. It might be argued that this was not altogether a disadvantage, inasmuch as it should lead to a large increase of seed-raising in this country. But, unfortunately, this happy solution was by no means al- ways practicable, and this for two rea- sons. In the first place, there are im- portant vegetables — and also flowers — which fail to ripen their seeds well in this country. This, we believe, is the case with cauliflower, carrot and onion, and, among flowers, phlox and aster. In the second place, with the lack of labor, many seed farmers, who were in the habit of accepting contracts for seed raising, were less disposed than in normal times to enter into contracts. It is probable, also, that with the higher prospective prices for purely agricul- tural crops, farmers are finding, on bal- ancing probable profits and amount of labor available, that it is more profitable for them to grow corn than to raise vegetable crops for seed. The urgent need for increasing the wheat supply, moreover, caused agriculturists generally to look with disfavor on the farmer who gave up part of his land to growing minor crops. The fact that this prej- udice is due to shortsightedness did not mitigate the seriousness of its effect. Since the war ended, however, the out- look of the seed industry is more cheer- ful. "Yet, by a strange irony, the condi- tions offered an opportunity for the dras- tic revision of our customs with respect to seed-raising. In the past a large section of this trade has been allowed to pass into German hands. With their customary thoroughness, the Germans had made something like a monopoly of the seed trade in some parts of the world. Of the seed they sold, some was of their own growing, but much was raised by other countries and purchased and sold again by the Germans. There would seem to be no reason why much of this trade should not now pass perma- nently into the hands of British firms. It is true, as we have said, that not all seeds can be raised successfully on a large scale in this country; but, on the other hand, many of the seeds of vegetables and flowers might quite easily be raised here. In any case, the empire, which comprises every soil and every climate, gives ample ground for the raising of all the seeds of every kind of vegetable and flower which we require. Why, therefore, should not the great firms of British seedsmen seek the cooperation of the government and endeavor to arrange a system of seed-raising within the empire, which should free them and ourselves for the future of the risk of finding our sup- plies cut off or curtailed in time of warf PLANT RUBRUN LILIES NOW WILL MAKE BEAUTIFUL EASTER PLANTS COLD STORAGE LILIES Oood atook ready for immadiat* •hipmant.

' ' At present the working up of pedi- gree stocks — raised with infinite pains in this country — is by no means always satisfactory. Those stocks sent to an- other country may or may not be prop- erly attended to, even though the send- ers themselves dispatch skilled men to supervise the roguing. As a result, the seed derived from these stocks is not always as ' true ' as it should be, and that through no fault of our seed trade. Specialized seed-growing stations within the empire, properly staffed, and cooperating with the great seed firma to secure the production and multipli- cation of the best seeds, would be of the greatest benefit to British horti- culture, and should be of no less benefit to the seed industry. The loss of crop from the growing of inferior or untrue varieties is often great, and that loss is almost entirely avoidable. In a better organized empire, the limitations of what can be achieved by the individ- ual and what must depend oil collective action will be recognized. If this rec- ognition were to be applied to the seed industry, it would result in the further specialization of that already complex business. It would put the resources of British science at the disposal of the seedsmen engaged in improving the strains of plants, and it would make provision for the raising of the best strains in the most suitable climates."

During the iiioiitlis of January and February our coniinittees have arranged to rnn a series of six advertisements through about twenty-eigfit magazines of national circulatioii, some being given three insertions and otliers two. One insertion through the whole list will give us an aggregate circulation of 10,000,000, without taking into consid- eration the fact that the number of readers, as generally computed, will be at least four times as many. The other insertions will be in the same propor- lion. To get tlie full benefit of this wide- spread publicity, florists who arc wise will con; fit their establishments with the magazine advertising by running reproductions of these advertisements ill their local newspapers, over their own names. To make this possible, our pro- motion bureau is prei^aring electrotypes, to fit a two-column space in any news- jjaper. They are reproductions of the magazine advertisements. Each carries our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," as a display headline, a suitable illustra- tion, and one of the following subheads to appropriate reading matter: "For Weddings;" "On St. Valentine's Dav; " " For the Sick Room ; " " On Her Birthdav;" "On His Birthdav;" "For Gifts."' Plates Are Ready. The plates occupy less space than those previously ])yt out by the bureau, ;iiid mav be used as auxiliaries to the Service for Charleston, S. C.

Start the New Year well by connect- ing personal effort with the efforts of the committees, and the demand for flowers is sure to increase. In the year just closing, the beneficial results of the campaign of publicity have been surprisingly noticeable, and, with all dark clouds behind us and a clear busi- ness horizon before us, he would, indeed, be a pessimist who could doubt the efficacy of a strong, vigorous and last- ing campaign for publicity for flowers.

At this meeting a vote will be taken to amend the con- stitution to hold one meeting each month instead of two. The attendance has fallen off this winter considerably and on investigation it was found that many of the florists had to look after their firing and were unable to attend.

The Market. The flower shop windows were dressed in their Christmas best for the holiday and they certainly were gorgeous and much admired by the throngs of holiday shoppers. Business was excellent. Christmas f e'stivities taxed the resources of the florists to the utmost, but flow- ers fortunately were plentiful and the public unusually lavish in expenditure, so everybody was happy. Prices, too, were good. Various Notes. The monthly meeting of the Portland Floral Society was held December 17. It was well attended, despite the fact that everybody was so busy with the Christmas rush. After the usual routine business, lunch was served and then card games were played. Chappell's Floral Shop will move January 1 to 331 Morrison street, in the N. W. bank building. Additional space will be secured by the use of a mezza- nine floor for a workroom. The new location is considered ideal, being in the shopping district. The store will be up-to-date in every particular, with mirrors all around the walls. H. K. LOS ANOELES. The Market. Everyone as busy as a bee and an everlasting scramble to get hold of stock, describes the situation the week before Christmas. There was every probability of an entire clean-up of everything, for the retailers were camped on the trail of the growers and wholesalers and orders were refused daily. ^ The weather was all that could be desired. Warmer nights were hoped for, to increase production, which was far from suflicient for shipping orders. Greens were in brisk demand and there never was such a call for wreaths and garlands. Plants were scarce and doubtless will have cleaned up closely in the Christmas rush. Various Notes. As showing how well sweet peas do by the seaside, Miss H. Vetter, of Her- mosa Beach, is cutting from a fall sowing of Zvolanek's winter-flowering varieties and they are extra fine. The blooms are large, of clear, decided col- ors, with long, stiff stems. They should be good property now. J. M. Grout, well known as a land- scape gardener in this section, has taken charge of a 1,400-acre citrus ranch near San Fernando. At the nursery at Montebello where Harry Bailey grows his asparagus seed, everything looks especially promising. The plumosus seed is just beginning to ripen and is hanging like bunches of grapes. Mr. Bailey has his rows planted a long distance apart, so that sun and air play freely about the plants, insur- ing perfect ripening of the seed and making it easy to gather it. Freesias also are grown here by the million and Mr. Bailey says he never had his plants looking so well. A good, true strain of Purity is seen here, most of the bulbs being shipped to eastern firms. C. E, Morton, of Phoenix, Ariz., was a visitor last week, Mrs. Morton having returned home. Their son, Henry, is still in camp at San Pedro. Arthur Gleave, of Santa Barbara, has been in town this week looking up stock for the holidays. "Business is too good," says Tony Tassano, of Taqsano Bros. This firm certainly is shipping and handling quan- tities of stock. W. Armacost & Co., the L. A. Floral Co. and S. Murata have all been work- ing to the limit in the effort to fill the orders stacked up for Christmas. H. E. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Not for years have flowers been so scarce or prices so high. A week be- fore Christmas carnations cleaned up at from $2 to $2.50 per bunch, whereas last year $1 was the top price Christmas eve. Boses have found a ready market at banner prices and the same condition prevailed all along the line. Orders have poured in from every direction, but, owing to the shortage of flowers in the Bay section, only a small propor- tion of them could be filled, as there has been little surplus after local re- quirements were taken care of. With cut flowers at a premium, it is a ques- tion with retail buyers of being able to get stock at any price, rather than what it will cost them. There has been a strong effort made to keep prices standard in San Francisco, but it be- gins to look as though in future it would be the policy of the growers and wholesalers to charge all the market will stand when flowers are in demand, on the ground that they have to take whatever is offered when there is a surplus. Some of the retailers fear a check on business, however, if prices go too high, as they find it hard to im- press upon Californians that there is actually a shortage of flowers such as to justify the advance in prices. Vio- lets are not especially good, but there is little ground for complaint about other flowers as to quality. Old-timers in the business claim the roses were never better. A few sweet peas are offered, but not enough to cut much fig- ure in the daily supplies. Gardenias and orchids are equal to the demand. Heather is well taken. Oregon holly is scarce and high, also California red berries. It is expected plants will have cleaned up closely in the holiday rush, but unless the demand be found to exceed that of previous years, large downtown estab- lishments did not anticipate an acute shortage, as they succeeded in getting as large stocks as usual. Azaleas were con- spicuous by their absence, but poin- settias and cyclamens were much in evidence. Potted heather formed a prominent feature at several of the stores and so did begonias. Various Notes. Shellgrain & Bitter is the name of the new florists' firm which opened for business at 148 Kearny street December 13. The partners are C. F. Shellgrain and Emile P. Bitter, both of whom have had long experience in the business. The former was identified with the old firm of Sievers & Boland, which was located at 33 Post street before the great fire of 1^06 and later with J. B. Boland for nearly thirty years. Mr. Bitter is a well known nurseryman and was also with the Boland business for a good many years. The members having been L. A. FLORAL CO. 'Quality and Service" is our motto FRED SPERRY.

The Market. Dark, rainy weather the last two days of the week threatened to shorten up the supply of stock for Christmas, but the sun shone December 22 and the growers were more hopeful of having good cuts for the holiday. There was a great shortage of flowers for Christmas, but the supply of plants was better and promised to take care of all orders. Prices of " cut flowers continue high. Funeral work still is heavy. Various Notes. The William Blackman Floral Co. had a good cut of carnations for Christmas, but not many roses. The supply of plants was large, although advance or- ders took nearly all of them before the holiday. George Blackman said that he would not buy roses because of the high prices, but would push carnations and plants instead. Walter Blackman has returned to a training camp at Waco, Tex., after a furlough of fifteen days. C. L. Niednagel had his crop of Rus- sell, Ophelia, Columbia, Milady and Kil- larney roses just right for Christmas and had good cuts. Niednagel & Sons had a good supply of carnations in for Christmas. Several benches of Nebraska are exceptionally fine. They had a large batch of poin- settias, while there was a fair supply of sweet peas, stevia, calendulas and bouvardias. M. C. Lockyear had excellent flower- ing plants, ferns and Asparagus Spren- geri for the holiday. Karl Zeidler has returned from a hunting trip to Mississippi. The weather was fine and game abundant. His rose cut for Christmas was small, but he was long on carnations. Fred Zeidler, who is in the navy, is expected home by New Year's day. Theodore Kuebler had a nice lot of Christmas plants. A letter from his son, Arthur, states that he is stationed on the Swiss border. E. L. F. Peoria, lU. — Charles Loveridge, who has a range of 85,000 feet of glass and employs a force of thirty-two people to operate it, reports business for the month of November, 1918, the greatest of any month in the year so far. Octo- ber, 1918, was forty per cent better than the best month in 1917. He ex- pects 1919 to be the banner year for florists and says that the spring of 1919 will see geraniums selling at $15 per hundred for 4-inch plants at wholesale. Cannas also are likely to have heavy sales in the season approaching. Mr. Loveridge believes the trade should pre- pare for the liveliest business yet en- joyed.

JUDGE GARY of the United States Steel Corporation, in his recent notable speech, said he thought the price of steel would go down. This was followed by an expression from the Great Bethlehem Steel Company — that doubtless steel would go down, but doubtless it would again go up. It is only fair to believe that with the war demands for steel over, there may be a tem- porary reduction in price. Following, however, the same line of rea- soning, won't it also go up when the tre- mendous demand for reconstruction steel and iron starts making itself felt, to fill both European and our own demands? Looking at it from this angle, the building of Iron Frame Greenhouses seems a good investment. Suppose you should wait a year for possi- ble lower prices, think of the profits you would lose. After all, it's not so much what a house coats you, as what it profits you. The way things are loosening up in all other lines of business, it does look as if there is a big harvest ahead for you green- house men.

Greenhouse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best lor the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. CABINO FOB THE BOILER. While nature and the U. S. Fuel Ad- ministration have been extremely kind to the growers this season, the former by providing unusually mild weather during the month of December, and the latter by removing the restrictions on consumption of coal, firemen should not forget the lessons they learned a year ago when the thermometer registered below zero temperatures and the boss was only two jumps ahead of having his range frozen up because of inability to get coal. This season everyone was prepared; that is, all the coal that could be bought and paid for was stored, and the wiser of the growers had their boilers in tiptop shape for the season. However, now that conditions have eased up, there should be no let-down on the part of the firemen. Goal is expensive and no one can afford to do anything but get all he can out of it. So far this winter the consumption of coal has been comparatively small and the boilers have not had a chance to accumulate soot and dirt in the flues. Good firemen keep the flues clean by regularly running the brushes through, or using the modern method of "blow- ing them out." The lower grade of coal now being used makes it more than ever necessary to do this work, as the soot accumulations will be heavier and the cleaning required oftener. Heating engineers are agreed that a considerable part of the wastage of fuel in the boiler room is due to the fact that the brick settings are not air- tight. They recommend that the brick- work be covered with some one of the preparations now on the market, and emphasize the fact that a tight setting means fuel saving. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. The weather last week was warm, and things were in good shape for the holiday trade. The demand has been so heavy that it has been impossible to get much stock in cold storage against the Christmas rush. There was a heavy cut of both roses and carna- tions here for the holidays, but a short- age of holiday flowers. Poinsettias were finer than usual this year, but the quantity was not so large as last year. There were other varie- ties of plants, but by far the largest number of plants for the holiday trade were cyclamens. There never were so many really good cyclamens shown in this city before. There was no valley this year to speak of, but the early bulbous stock was in. Paper Whites liave appeared and there was reason to believe there would be a few daffodils in time for Christmas. Holly was seen on the streets, but most of it had few berries.

The great variety of boilers that we make places us in acommandinK position. We make every type of boiler that is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest water tube steam boiler (tlOO horsepower). For the above reason we can furnish the most efficient boiler unit in every case. It is the Kroeschell policy to supply only that type of boiler which is best suited to the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand.

Mistletoe likewise was poor, and not well berried this year. The florists sel- dom handle these items, as they are hawked about the streets, but as they were not to be had, the demand was good for substitutes. 8o many really beautiful Christmas wreaths have never been seen in the florists' shops before. They sold well, too. In fact, all along the line prices were higher this year than last. While it is possible that no more flowers were sold this Christmas than last, there surely was more money received for them. The first violets came last week. They are good, but there are not enough of them. Various Notes. At J. F. Corbitt's place every house was full of young stock or cuttings, ex- cept two houses that were cut out be- cause of the fuel regulations. In one of these a colony of hena was snugly domiciled.

This firm had all it needed for the Christmas trade and the later varieties are breaking freely. We cannot forbear mentioning again two seedling carna- tions at this range that will be exhibited at the shows this winter and probably introduced to the public next year. Our favorite is an entirely new departure in carnations, a frilled and fringed flower fully four inches in diameter. It seems to be wonderfully free in blooming, the stems are long and the color is a delicate pink, shading to a deep shell-pink in the heart. The other is of the ordinary type, fully as large, and a pure rose- pink. It has been planted in large enough quantity to be tested beside the older varieties and thus far it is easily the best of its color. Louis Haury & Sons had a nice lot of fancy ferns in their windows. Their pot plants were fine this year. At their greenhouses they had a good supply of cut flowers. Geny Bros, did a heavy holiday busi- ness. Their poinsettias were excep- tionally good, while they had the best specimens of solanum seen in this city. They cut roses and carnations freely, their growers having timed" the crops just right. Mclntyre Bros, had a great display of cyclamens and other plants, also good sweet peas. Charles Trichler sold out his stock early. As he does not do much retail work, he has no downtown place. He already is propagating for spring. He has the best collection of ferns in the south and is planning to specialize on this item. F. B. OLEN COVE, N. Y. Horticultural Society. The annual meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, December 11. In spite of inclement weather there was a large attendance, with President Bobert Jones in the chair. The judges appointed for the monthly exhibits were Thomas Twigg, William Nor- man and George Piatt. The following awards were made: The president's special^ for the best table decoration, for assistant gardeners only, was won by Henry Michaelson, assistant to George Ferguson; second, by John Gailens, as- sistant to William Churchill. Treasurer Ernest J. Brown presented a creditable annual report, showing the society had passed a successful season, both in point of membership and financially. S. J. Trepess was called on to conduct the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, Joseph Adler; vice- president, Frank Watson; secretary, Ernest J.

Qentlamen : - B«ing that I have used a oonsider- able affloiint of Permanite In my g:utter8, as well as for glazing, and want to say in its behalf that it is the finest article for use around greenhonsee I have ever "seen. You don't need any staples for glaslng, the glass stays right where you put it. They are easi- ly taken out and replaced when broken, I never saw the like of it. It is simply a god-send to greenhouse men, if they would only get to using it. If I build more greenhouses in the spring as I am oontemplating now, I will need quite a large amount and certainly will give you people the order. to r amain Shanking you for past favors, I beg Yours very tmly. (P l^/Pc Prop/ " over and over again — first by keeping repairs down to a minimum, and as for the repairs that cannot be avoided, Permanite enables you to make them quickly and easily at comparatively no expense. In addition to glazing and reglazing Green- houses, Roofs and Gutters can be rebuilt with Permanite; once done you can go away and forget it — years will elapse before you will ever have to look at the job again. Permanite can be applied by any one; the directions are simple —the results certain.

Stock of all kinds was scarce. The following plants were shown: Poinsettiaa, cyclamens, begonias, narcissi and a great number of made-up plant baskets, some of late chrysanthemums, which sold well at $2 to $15 each. Cut flower prices were as follows: Boses, $3 to $10 per dozen; carnations, $2.50 to $4 per dozen; Paper Whites, $1.50 and $2 per dozen; Yellow Paper Whites, $3 per dozen; Bomans, $1.50 to $2; stevia, $1 to $1.50 per dozen; orchids, $2 each. There were no Amer- ican Beauties on this market this year, but Bussell and Columbia sold for no less than $6 per dozen; fine sweet peas from $3 to $5 per hundred. Orders came in earlier than last year and deliveries were made. Holly and mistletoe were plenti- ful, but prices remained high. The holly was good, but the mistletoe is short of berries. Christmas trees were high this year, prices rang^ing from 75 cents to $5 each. Various Notes. A. H. Dailey is showing some choice sweet peas and looks for a heavy de- mand for them. A. J. McNutt cut choice Bussell and Ophelia roses for the Christmas trade. He did not have nearly enough to go around, but made the best of them. Mrs. Ella Angus, with Mr. McNutt, was called to Youngstown, O., on account of the serious illness of her brother. Her ab- sence crippled his force to some extent. Mrs. Bosa Hall Byno had fine plant baskets for Christmas. Located at the new Gray cemetery, she had a big de- mand for wreaths, etc., for grave decora- tion. Baum 's Home of Flowers, Inc., showed choice, made-up plant baskets of chrys- anthemums, cyclamens, cherries, peppers and ferns, which sold rapidly; also choice Columbia and Bussell roses, or- chids and carnations, but only a third as many as last year. The higher prices made up the difference, however. K. P. B. Saranac Lake, N. Y. — ^Edmund C. Horton is the son of E. S. Horton, florist and market gardener. Last year he took the course in floriculture at Cornell University and since then has been engaged in assisting his father in the business. His recreation is hunting and his spare time is spent at a camp in, the Saw Tooth range of mountains. On a recent trip he shot a 200-pound buck, which he brought out of the woods eight miles on foot and five miles by water. aimiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiwitinuiuiiiuiiiHHHuiiHHiiuuiniiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiii^ i PuLVERizeb Sheep- PuLvsRizEb Cumz i i SHREbbEb Cattle .= M/INURE I g Write Wizard Brand into your supply a = . house order for manure — or drop us a S = postal for latest price list and freight rates. | I The Pulverized Manure Co.

J. Tbe Market. Christmas business began early this year and its volume was satisfactory to the local florists. Cut flowers were high, with the result that many who other- wise would have purchased flowers bought potted plants. The sale of both was good, however. Poinsettias were unusually good this year. Begonias, cyclamens, peppers, heather, etc., sold well. They were of fine quality. Flo- rists look forward to the coming year with much more hope than they did to the year 1918 when it began. The many restrictions which were put on the so- called nonessential industries were bur- densome to the trade and, if they had continued, would have caused some of the florists to suspend business. This in- convenience was borne in the right spirit because of the knowledge that such ac- tion was necessary to win the war. But now that all bans have been removed the florists are looking forward to the rapid resumption of normal business. Various Notes. Philips Bros., Broad street, report that they had an excellent Christmas busi- ness. Christmas orders began coming in a week or ten days before Christmas, and continued to come in until Christ- mas day. Henry A. Strobell, 931 Broad street, had handsome interior decorations dur- ing the week preceding Christmas. His windows were also attractive. He re- ports a good holiday trade. E. B. M. WESTERLY, B. I. C. D. Havens, 58 Canal street, handled over 5,000 Christmas trees from Maine. David W. Shaw has constructed a new greenhouse and completed repairs to old ones on his property at Stonington. Conrad Schultz was a visitor in Provi- dence and Boston last week. Smith's Flower Shop reports an un- usually large run on funeral work; also plants for Christmas. Edward L. Qavitt, 43 Beach street, handled a large number of Christmas trees and greens. Louis Eeuter, formerly of this town, is now in the florists' business in Wal- tham, Mass. W. H, M. Jamestown, B. 1. — Samuel Smith's Sons is one of the old concerns making steady progress. Established in 1864, in addition to the greenbouses here, stores are operated in Jamestown and Newport.

Is there value to you in an endurance test of 45 years in greenhouse sashf It is reported to ua that sash made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a greenhouse at Bes Plaines, m., in 1868, are stiU doing service. Jacob FrieS; Bethlehem, Fa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on the job. And these are not isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of * * The Wood Eternal ' ' for greenhouse use. It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or con- tractor who wants to give you a "substitute^' for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 45 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, ^d no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood- pile." You know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. "PECKY" CYFBES8. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. The U. S. Govt. Eept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has been a long time preying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from alluvial deposits many feet below the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber is pecky, though it has been buried during a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. . . . The effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... is believed to act as a preservative . . . and to hinder decay." Js 30,000 years' "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUE greenhouse? There Is no knovrn record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too. A postal will do, a letter la better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library (a strlctly authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 la aU Abont "OREBNHOUSES." It is FREE. Send for it. Also ask for Vol. 2, on "Pecky" — a mmiey-saTer. Take no hearsay. GET THE PACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 20 la "All Farm Needs Book"; Vol. 86 Is the "Carpentry Book," in which a dozen hard Jobs of carpentry are made easy, and Vol. 3T is the Big, New Silo Book. All contain plans for building and are profusely illustrated. SOUTHERN CYPRESS HJINUFICTURERS' USOCIftTION 1230 HIBERNIA BANK BLDG.. NEW ORLEANS, LA. 1230 HEARD NAT'L BANK BLDG, JACKSONVILLE. rLA.

FEED YOUR PUNTS and SAVE LABOR Mr. Bahr Did Read What He Says: Highland Park, Illinois, Mr. F. A. Zenke, -• July 31, 1918. Chicago, 111. Dear Mr. Zenke: Nothing pleases me more than to acknowledge that you were right when you praised up "New Plant Life" to me, and there couldn't be a better proof of it thaji my asking you to forward five more gallons just as soon as you can. The results obtained were most satisfactory to me; stunted, small bedding stock after about ten days began to show new life and kept on improving. With the existing lack of help instead of giving thousands of 1-2 inch Geraniums a final shift, three light doses of "New Life" were applied and I am more th>an pleased with the outcome. Sincerely yours, Fritz Bahr.

A BIG CHRISTMAS UNLIKE ANY OTHER That supply and demand regulate the prices of cut flowers never was so well demonstrated as this Christmas, when supply was short and demand was the largest ever known : Prices went up, in some places to the point where buying was checked; then they went down until buying began again. h'- HBISTMAS, 1918, has gone on record as the most un- usual in the history of the florists' business; as a Christmas the like of which we probably never shall see again, for the many remarkable features were the direct result of outside influences working on this trade. They were caused by war, restricting the supply, and by peace, witrf prosperity, increasing the demand. The only measure of the extent of the demand and the shortage in supply is the price asked — and prices were higher' than ever before. Therein abided the somewhat numerous causes for dissatis- faction, which were individual, depend- ing on how the prices affected one 's own business. There are few florists who would wish to see repeated the conditions of this Christmas. We all should be better off if there had been more stock, permitting lower prices and more sales. The best interests of the trade do not lie in few sales at large prices, but in many sales at rates that admit of a reasonable profit on each sale. Retailers Besisted. There are many strange features of the Christmas business, but the strangest of all is that the chief opposi- tion to the prices estab- lished by supply and demand came, not from the public, but from the retail florists. It is quite true that numer- ous retail florists over- bought. They mis- judged their ability to sell certain kinds of cut flowers at the prices they asked and they had stock left, costly stock, to work up in funeral orders after the holiday. But numerous retailers took the situa- tion so much to heart that they lost sight of the fact that their own interests are inextrica- bly wound up with the future welfare of the trade as a whole; they openly deprecated the price of their princi- pal every-day stock-in- trade and advised peo- ple to buy something else! Of course a majority of those who felt that the wholesale prices were un- warranted, even in face of the great shortage and unprecedented demand, re- served their denunciations for the ear of their wholesaler, but many went much farther. The illustration on this page, while it should not be taken as typical, shows how keenly some florists felt. It is from the Christmas ad a mid- dle-western retailer printed in the news- papers of a city which has many florists. The Public Paid. As for the public, while many un- questionably were deterred from buying cut flowers because of the prices asked, there was no charge of unfairness and little complaint; the customer merely turned to something else, a plant if available, or a basket of boxwood and ruscus. Perhaps it took a little better grade of salesmanship, but not many sales were lost. Another aspect of the average retail attitude was the general belief that the retailer should make the same margin of profit under the abnormal conditions that is necessary under ordinary condi- tions. Where a man grows the stock he retails he usually bases his prices on what his competitors charge, frequently asking just a little less instead of just a little more, but where a retailer draws his stock from a wholesale market the rule is to double the wholesale price, or just a little better. To maintain sol- vency this has been found imperative in the ordinary run of business, where the sale of a dozen carnations affords a margin of only 35 to 75 cents. It seemed to be the almost unanimous opinion that the same rule should be applied on ear- nations which cost 10 to 15 cents each, giving the retailer a margin of $1.20 to $1.80 on each dozen sold. Here and there a retailer, doing a good volume, was content with something less — and he had a record Christmas business. The most difficulty was had with car- nations. While all cut flowers and bloom- ing plants were scarce and higher than usual, the prices were not advanced so much on other things as on carnations. Unprecedented conditions early in De- cember had sent carnations up above the usual Christmas level. The same situa- tion existed everywhere, although prices went higher in some markets than in others. Nearly everywhere they went high enough to check buying. In some places it extended to what might be called a carnation "boycott." Then Prices Fell. ILLUSTRATING SOME RETAILERS' ATTITUDE TOWARD CHRISTMAS CUT FLOWER PRICES A Shopful of ^Christmas Cheer at prices that blend with live and let live policies For Various Reasons advanced pricef will be asked for roses and other Christmas cut flowers this year. Why Should You Pay Two Prices for cut flowers that only last a day or two when you can get many other attractive FLORAL gifts which will give weeks of beauty and pleasure in the home at Half the Price See Our Special Christmas Display The newsletters in this issue reveal that in many cities carnations brought more money the week before Christ- mas than they did the day before Christmas. After the break buying was resumed, prices ad- vanced, steadied and have held on a level with the value of other flowers. There is scarcely any statement as to the Christmas business not contradicted by some- one's experience, but it generally was true that the prices of the best grades of roses were not more than forty to fifty per cent above the prices of other years, which surely was not out of line with the prices of manufactured and non-perishable mer- chandise. Lower grades^ of roses were a little higher, comparatively, because the demand 10 The Florists^ Review Januabt 2, 1919. was stronger. Some minor items sold for double last year's prices because of extreme scarcity, but others, and big items, too, were not higher than before the war. One need not be old in the business to have seen Beauties at $12 to $15 a dozen and cattleyas $1 apiece. Plants and Accessories. Blooming plants were far short of the demand, with the result that the aver- age flower store did a larger part of its business than ever before with supply- house stock, with boxwood, ruscus, rib- bons and other material for bright and catchy baskets, which, as a rule, sold like hot cakes at prices which, to say the least, represented a margin of profit no cut flower producer would have de- spised. There are exceptions, probably, but on the whole the reduced quantity of mate- rial available brought more money than last year, or the year before, and Christ- mas of 1918 stands as the best on record in a large number of stores and green- houses. The weather was the most "un- usual" thing about the experience; it rained or snowed over almost the whole of the United States, from Colorado to the Atlantic, December 24. Christmas day was clear and cold. The storm no doubt kept many shoppers at home, but they scarcely were missed; the cold, however, added materially to the difficul- ties of delivery. \\:■^*/:l\9/:lKv::\9^:'X*Kl^J^ly*J:l'<^J^lyvilKV:l'<'^^:'^^J:ly*J:lK^^^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS /•S" 4S' :'fA\' r^v. :f»v, y*Vi 'c ^m ^r•^•; '/'*m ^/*^1 y»^'. .V4^■; ' /»\1 ^^*^' YA^" . rti\ , ,7*^ i , /'*^ , i /'•\ i , r^x „ c*\ ; :c4^ POINSETTIAS. Poinsettias never sold better than they have done this Christmas and re- ports from several large cities indicate that every presentable plant was dis- posed of. There are sure to be some left-overs with poor bracts or foliage and these can be laid below a green- house bench where they will not get much drip, and forgotten until spring. In the culture of Euphorbia jacquinise- flora, dryness will shrivel up and kill the plants, so be careful not to dry them off too severely. With poinsettias, abso- lute dryness at the roots for several months will merely ripen up the wood well. EABLY AMABYUJS. Look over your stock of amaryllis plants, which probably are now being rested below one of the benches, and note whether nny of them are sending up their flower .stalks. All such should be removed and rej)ot'^"d. if necessary, but usually the removal of some of the surface soil and a top-dressing will suf- fice. Place the plants in a tem{)erature of 55 to 60 degrees and if they can stand on a bench where they can get a little bottom heat, all the better. They do particularly well if plunged in partly decayed leaves or tan bark. CALCEOLABIAS. For an early Easter, calceolarias are out of the question, but when the great floral festival comes as late as April 20, it is easily possible to have them in flower. Like cinerarias, they require cold treatment. They seem to luxuriate in a damp, clammy old house which sends a chill down one's spine after warmer and brighter houses have been visited. The large, spotted, or self-col- ored calceolarias will never meet more than a moderate demand. They are curious and striking, but brittle and not easy to pack up and ship so as to arrive in presentable condition. On the other hand, the small, rich yellow rug- osa variety. Golden Gem, is a splendid flower of easy propagation and never fails to flower abundantly. It is much tougher than the large herbaceous types and makes an ideal pot plant, as do the hybrids between Golden Gem and the large herbaceous type of which the Golden Stewartii is the best. Here is a desirable flowering plant for florists, easy of propagation from cuttings and of simple culture, which can be flow- ered for the coming Easter, when it undoubtedly will make a decided hit. If you have not grown any yet, plan to do so another season, especially if you are located in one of the colder states, for calceolarias cannot be grown successfully in the warm states. OUTDOOS WOBK December, 1918, has been a mild month compared with its predecessor, for which florists have abundant cause to be thankful. The mild weather con- served fuel and gave an opportunity such as we rarely get in December and January to plow up fallow land. Leave the ground rough over the winter, espe- cially if the soil is retentive, and the frost will disintegrate and sweeten it. You, of course, plan to grow some asters of the Chinese type and, if you can manure and plow land for them this fall or early winter, it will be a great advantage. All heavy land is better if fall-plowed, and the addition of a liberal application of horse manure will help to open it up and give it warmth. The successful grower, no matter where he resides, plans to finish up as much outdoor work as possible at this season rather than to leave everything to the strenuous spring season. SEED SOWING. Catalogues are beginning to arrive and it is interesting to look them over these winter evenings and select seeds for the coming season. Place your or- ders early and you are sure to be well taken care of. The seedsmen greatly appreciate these early orders, as it helps to relieve in some measure the terrific later pressure. There are a few seeds which can be sown advantageously at once. Among these are: Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri; Grevillea ro- busta, which makes a neat decorative plant; Aralia Sieboldii, another splen- did foliage plant with handsome leaves of great substance; Vinca rosea, pent- stemons, gloxinias, tuberous and flbrooB* rooted begonias and Primula obconica, where extra fine plants are wanted for Thanksgiving and Christmas. STANDARD FLOWEBINO PLANTS. The standard flowering plants are be- coming more popular each year. They cannot be grown as cheaply as dwarf plants of the same varieties, but people are willing to pay a good price for the various tree-grown flowering plants. Heliotropes make specially good stand- ards. I have found seedlings more vig- orous than cuttings. With all stand- ards it is necessary to keep the plants staked, flowers and side shoots removed and tops pinched out, when the neces- sary height of stem has been reached. Fuchsias make excellent standards; so do geraniums, lantanas, marguerites, hy- drangeas, genistas, streptosolens, chor- izemas and chrysanthemums. Out of this number, heliotropes, fuchsias, gera- niums and hydrangeas are of the great- est value to florists, and all are of easy culture. Make a start with the stand- ards now. OAUJiS. If your callas are in a night tempera- ture which averages 55 degrees, they should now be producing a heavy crop of flowers. I find pot culture gives far more winter flowers than bench culture and I greatly prefer it. The plants suc- ceed best when grown in single rows along the sides of the house and not when crowded together the full width of beds or benches. The number of flowers produced from the variety God- frey is surprising, if the plants are fur- nished with a top-dressing of fine bone or Clay's fertilizer pvery eight or ten days at this season. The avidity with which the roots eat up the fertilizer is an eye-opener. YOUNG CYCLAMENS. Christmas this year has clearly prov- en that cyclamens are now the most popular and at the same time the most satisfactory of holiday plants. They realized higher prices than ever before and the demand far exceeded the sup- ply. With these facts in mind, give the young cyclamens the best of attention. Probably they are still in flats. Keep them well up to the light in a tempera- ture of 60 degrees and stir between the little plants occasionally. On bright days a fine spraying will prove benefi- cial. You can still sow seed and get plants large enough for 5-inch or 6-inch pots for next Christmas, but the sowing should be done without delay. FLOWERING SHBUB SHOOTS. Usually we do not see many of the forced deciduous shrubs, such as lilacs, Azalea mollis, apples, laburnums, etc., before the end of February, but it is possible to cut shoots from some of the large flowering shrubs, place them in water in a warm house and force them into bloom much earlier than plants. Forsythias are probably the easiest and most satisfactory of these to flower in water, but magnolias, early spiraeas, like Thunbergii, Corchorus japonicus, the Japanese quince, orna- mental apples and several other sorts can be forced into flower and will prove attractive in any window decoration. January 2, 1919. The Florists' Review 11 FEEDINa OABNATION PLANTa We would appreciate advice as to the proper feeding of our carnation plants. Our method has been to feed •mth pulverized sheep manure and bone meal, mixed in equal parts and spread thinly on the soil. "We start the first part of January with the feeding and keep it up until April, at intervals ■of six weeks. However, our plants do not develop satisfactorily. They do not bear as many flowers as they should. They look healthy, but we note the stems are brittle. Would this indicate too little feeding! We would like to know the proper amount of feeding to use per square foot and if manure and bone meal should be used in equal parts. When should we start feeding! Does the time depend on the season or on the condition of the plants! Our plants ^0 well and produce fine flowers during the first part of the season, while the ■soil is fresh and contains much nourish- ment, but the first part of January they start to drop off in production. We grow White Wonder, Enchantress and White Enchantress, Philadelphia and Beacon. Sheep manure and bone meal are the only fertilizers we can get, although we have a good deal of Alphano Humus, which we have used for outdoor work. How would it do for feeding carnations! Our temperature is kept around 50 degrees. C. P. & S.— Mich. The matter of supplying additional food to the blooming stock during the winter months requires the finest dis- crimination. A great deal of harm is done through overdoses of concentrated fertilizers in the hands of inexperienced growers. Frequently, too, we find that overanxiety will cause excessive feed- ing, on account of a strong demand for the blooms. When the market is cry- ing for blooms and the crop is still some weeks off, there is a strong tempta- tion to give the plants a dose or two to hurry the crop along. Up to a certain point, this is possible, but few growers have the faculty which enables them to gauge accurately the limits beyond which they should not go. Usually this crowding of the crop is overdone, with resultant injury which it is impossible to correct. If the plants are making a strong, healthy growth, they will need little else than a liberal amount of water, careful ventilation and a steady temperature. In due time they will come into crop and the blooms will be of better quality all around than if the plants had been continually dosed with one thing and another. This, of course, holds good only if the soil was properly prepared before being put into the benches. If the soil lacks some particular element, it must be sup- plied. There is no denying the fact that, in the hands of the skillful grower, great things may be accomplished in the way of hurrying crops, improving the quality, increasing the yield, etc., by the judicious use of commercial fer- tilizers. A brief summary of our methods may be of greater assistance to you than for me to try to tell you what to do, without knowing your soil or general conditions. To begin with, we prepare our soil carefully, enriching it by plowing under green crops, such as blue grass sod or rye, in addition to a liberal amount of stable manure. For our soil, we prefer stable manure to cattle manure for this purpose. If your soil is extremely light, I should advise the use of cattle manure throughout. Then we supply ourselves with bone meal, bone flour, sheep ma- nure, dried blood, ground limestone, or marl; also a complete carnation fer- tilizer from some reliable concern. After the plants have been in the benches a month, we sprinkle the soil with the ground limestone and scratch it into the soil. This will correct sour- ness, which will show in the form of a green scum on the surface of the soil. The first part of October we may apply a light mulch of fairly well rotted manure. This will protect the tender young roots from the warm sun and will give them a boost. It will also prevent later applications of fertilizer from washing. If the plants are making a strong growth and shooting up flower stems rapidly, they may get nothing more, unless we notice that something is lacking. Sometimes we find it neces- sary to apply a dose of sheep manure to boost the crop along, for there is noth- ing better for this purpose. Sheep manure is rich in nitrogen, which softens the growth, and it should not be used too freely while a crop of blooms is on. The proper time to use it is just when the shoots are ready to run up to bud. At that stage, it will hasten the growth and improve the size of the bloom. By the time the bloom develops, the soften- ing effects have worn off and no harm will result. When the crop comes on, if the stems lack strength, we apply a dose of ground limestone or marl. We find the latter excellent for this pur- pose. If the stems seem brittle at the joints and still lack strength, we use bone instead of marl. While the crop is on, you should not apply heavy doses of feed, but if the quality of the blooms deteriorates, light applications of some complete carnation fertilizer will im- prove it. We like the complete fertilizer at this stage, because, if things are go- ing right, it will supply the various elements necessary for normal develop- ment. This will carry us along to March. By this time the sun is getting stronger and the plants are ready to start into a strong spring growth and, unless the necessary plant food is sup- plied, there will be a rank growth with inferior blooms at the end. It is time now to apply a heavy mulch, to protect the roots from the hot sun and to supply plant food. First, we give a dose of acid phosphate, which liberates food already in the soil an4 also has a tend- ency to draw the feeding roots to the surface. On top of this, we apply a heavy coat of fairly fresh stable ma- nure. It should be applied either before it has begun to heat or left until the heat is spent. No ill results will follow if the manure is not hot at the time it is put on. After a few weeks, applica- tions of the complete fertilizer will again be in order and these may be given every three weeks without being overdone, if they are light. To your question as to whether feed- ing should depena on the season of the year or the condition of the plants I will say, on the condition of your plants must depend the question of whether you should feed at all. On the time of the year and the stage of the growth should depend the question of what to feed. These questions are answered in the foregoing, if you will read carefully and study. We have not used Alphano Humus, so cannot advise you in regard to it. A little experimenting on a small bench space might be advisable. It probably would no do harm and again it might be useful to you in the future. A. F. J. B. CARNATION CONVENTION. Secretary A. F. J. Baur, of Indian- apolis, has printed the pamphlet con- taining the program and premium list for the twenty-eighth annual convention and exhibition of the American Carna- tion Society, to be held at the Hollen- den hotel, Cleveland, January 29 and 30. As has been reported in The Re- view, the directors thought it desirable to make a considerable departure from custom in the premium list, the classes for named varieties having been elimi- nated, the idea being to encourage the average members rather than the car- nation specialists to exhibit. The med- als for novelties are continued. "This being the first meeting of na- tional scope since the signing of the armistice in the world war, ' ' says Secre- tary Baur, "it affords an opportunity for us to come together and discuss its effects on our business and to lay plans for the future. It has been suggested that this be made a peace celebration and plans are being laid with this end in view. Come to this convention and help make it a real celebration." LOOKS LIKE LADDIE. Under separate cover we are mailing you a bloom from a carnation plant which we are propagating for stock, al- though we call it a sport, as it is different in color and in other respects from our other stock. Will you please advise us what variety of carnation it is! J. C. W.— Pa. The carnation flower was too badly wilted to give any idea as to its size and form, but the color, calyx and stem resemble Laddie. If it is that variety, you will make no mistake in propagat- ing as many as possible. A. F. J. B. Bellefontaine, O. — Cut flowers for Christmas were scarce, but there were plenty of blooming plants.

The great war is ended and with it the necessity, which many people have believed to exist, for economies, including the use of flowers in the home. Industrial conditions in 1919 are expected to be such as to in- sure prosperity and everything augurs well for the florists' trade. It was demonstrated through our work in the year just closed that the public is influenced by publicity of the kind that is suggestive. Therefore, ourjcom- mittees believe that it is advisable to confine their efforts along the lines al- ready followed. As already announced^ contracts have been placed for a series of advertisements to appear repeatedly during January and February in twenty- eight national magazines. Electrotypes of these advertisements for the use of florists in their local newspapers are now ready, and the set of six will be mailed promptly on receipt of the price, $3 per set. All the magazines circulate in the neighborhood of every florist in the country, so a liberal use of these advertisements during the two months is strongly recommended to- those who want to draw individual bene- fit from the magazine publicity. 1919 Subscriptions Wanted. Our committees are earnestly hoping that all florists who have not already notified the secretary of their willing- ness to make an annual subscription tO' the fund for the remaining three years of the campaign will do so at once. The results from the first year's publicity are too good to be permitted to grow stale in the least, but we can only re- tain and increase them through renewed effort. The secretary will be pleased to- mail a special subscription form to any- one making request; also a copy of the new circular describing our direct serv- ice aids up to date. In a letter just received from William L. Rock, of the William L. Rock Flower Co., Kansas City, Mo., that gentleman says: "We shall be only too glad to- subscribe $200 per annum for the next four years. We feel that the campaign,^ so far as it has gone, has done a great deal toward building up the florists' business. Of course, we have no way of checking or telling the amount of busi- ness derived from this source. It seems clear to us, however, that if double the amount were used next year, it would be money well spent, and we believe that the smaller florists throughout the coun- try will soon recognize its value and possibly will subscribe a larger amount than they have in the past." If every florist would view our pro- ject in the same way, the support would be such as to make the complete attain- ment of our object an easy matter, and business for all would be increased to a remarkable extent. Begin the new year well — send in a subscription, and use our direct service aids. John Young, Sec'y. S. A. F. PUBUCITY CAMPAIGN. Second Year Opens.

MEMBERS j^^^^y^^g^^^Hj^g ■ ■■■■■■■■■IBWM -■■■■"■"■^*" Outlines His Ideas of Needs of the Trade to Meet Conditions during the Period of Reconstruction, and Plans for the Year. |S president of the Society of American Florists, I extend hearty greetings to all mem- bers of our beloved society, and to all members of the craft, everywhere. First, let us give thanks to the Almighty God, who has seen fit in His infinite wisdom to end the cruel con- flict that has been raging in bleeding Eu- rope for over four years, and for the part our glorious nation has been privileged to have in bringing it to a speedy end. I am sure that the florists all over the world can point with pride to the part we, as a profession, have had in helping to win the war. Our money has been cheerfully lent to the govern- ment, and given to other war activities, while our gallant young men have marched out at the country 's call, cheer- fully sacrificing their all for the great cause of humanity and world democracy. Fellow members, our work is not fin- ished. We must now prepare ourselves for the great recon- struction period. Our business must be adjusted to meet the demands which will be made upon us. The Beadjustment. Millions of dol- lars will now be di- verted from other channels. It be- hooves us to prepare ourselves to get a large part of this business. Our prod- uct is bound to be in greater demand than ever before. "We must strive to furnish better qual- ity and more effi- cient service. This can best be accom- plished by more thoroughly organiz- ing our forces. We have come out of this struggle far better equipped for this coming great period than many of us expected, so it behooves us now to concent rate our forces and just how can we best do this? First _ of all, I want to address my- self to the young men of our society. Be sure to co- operate. Strive to continue the wise policies so well established by the old leaders. Improve the standard of cul- ture and quality. And let us add to that the commercial progress in keeping with the present day and age. Push Publicity Campaign. Just now publicity with us is the watchword. The cornerstone for this wonderful addition was laid just sixteen short months ago in the city of New York, soon after our great nation en- tered into the war. But in spite of the trying commercial situation all over our land, the success was most mar- velous. Too much credit cannot be given to the men who launched this great movement, and to the committees who so nobly carried on this work. Everybody should get behind this great work and assist the leaders now more than ever. To the officers and members of the affiliated organizations, I extend the J. Fred Ammann. (President of the S. A. F.' most cordial invitation for a hearty co- operation the coming year. Several have already acquired representatives on the parent society 's board of directors, which is indeed cheering. Let us hope that many more will soon increase their memberships so they, too, may avail themselves of the opportunity of having their presidents members of our board. The old S. A. F. is truly proud of all its offspring, and we bid you speed on in your special lines. It not only means progress for you, but it also helps the parent society; and every good parent wants to see his children succeed. To the members of state associations and local florists' clubs, I also extend an invitation for hearty cooperation. Every state in the Union should have either a state association or a local club in one of its principal cities. The mem- bers of such organizations should strive to secure enough members so they, too, may have representation on the national board of directors. This can be done and we cannot be too thoroughly or- ganized. Let us make this a part of our 1919 platform, ever remembering that we need you and you need us. To the Orowers. The members of the three represent- ative branches of our trade, namely, the growing, whole- saling and retailing, I want to invite to counsel with us for promoting the inter- ests of the trade at large. Mr. Grower, it's up to you to get bet- ter organized. Growers should . have branch organi- zations, to confer often in reference to combating in- sects and diseases, the use of fertiliz- ers, etc. Also the kinds of stock to grow. In fact, we need more strictly g r o w e rs ' associa- tions. The wholesalers, too, need to be more thoroughly organ- ized locally, to carry on their own inter- e s t 8 successfully, 14 The Florists' Review January 2, 1919. and to get into conference with the growers as to the varieties of stock to be grown. In a few cities cooperation of the wholesalers has shown excellent results already. The retailers are, no doubt, the best organized of the three branches, since the splendid work of the Florists' Tele- graph Delivery Association has so nobly helped to bind the retailers together for our common cause. May they continue to prosper, and the retailers locally take more advantage by becoming still more strongly united. The S. A. F. stands ready to help any branch of the trade to become more eflScient. We have the means and the ability to assist you. Let us help solve your problems and put floriculture on the high plane where it belongs. We are now entering an era of broth- erly love never before shown in the history of the world. Never did men's hearts go out to one another so much as now. The spirit of America for humanity and world democracy prevails everywhere, and as men's hearts grow larger the world seems smaller. The light held aloft by the statue of Lib- erty shines the world over. Let us have for our reconstruction program the slogan, "Competitive cooperation for the best interests of all." Tbe Camatioii Society. The annual meeting of the American Carnation Society takes place in Cleve- land, January 29 and 30, 1919. This is one of the live-wire affiliated organiza- tions of the S. A. F. I understand all members of the society are invited to join with them in a Victory love-feast. So, as many as possibly can should plan to be present. These get-together meet- ings mean so much for our future prog- ress. To the dear ladies of our sister so- ciety, we too extend hearty greetings. May they continue in the good work of making our annual gatherings more sociable, pleasant and inspiring by their presence. May God bless the ladies for their service in the great struggle for humanity through their noble work in the Eed Cross and other humanitarian activities. BUCKEYE BULL'S-EYES 'm CHRISTMAS BUSINESS. The Christmas business of 1918 was in many respects the most peculiar on record. It followed a ten weeks' period of epidemic in which the angel of death visited many thousands of homes throughout the country, compelling the use of flowers in the expression of sor- row to a degree unprecedented in the entire history of the trade. Few indeed were the circles of friends or relation- ships that escaped. Following the virtual close of the war by the signing of the armistice, the cancellation of heavy government business, seriously checking industry, created a feeling of uncertainty in the ranks of a vast army of workers, forcing it to heavily curtail its lavish expenditure of money. The demoralization in the sources of pro- duction caused by the federal fuel re- strictions, operating to interrupt the customary timing of crops, made flow- ers scarce in December when the natural demand, augmented by a great advertis- ing campaign, required an abnormally large output. Amid these powerful in- fluences, the holiday season came, and, despite the adverse influences, a greater amount of money than ever be- fore spent for flowers has been garnered by the trade. Perhaps no better com- ment might be made upon the stability of a profession. Mac. enee was well worth the increased ef- fort and the knowledge gained will re- main a permanent asset. The smaller tradesmen felt the effect of the higher prices to a degree detrimental to their immediate interests, but persistence in allowing themselves a margin of profit vitally necessary to their business in- tegrity will win out for them eventu- ally. Prices of flowers have hitherto been absurdly low compared with the cost of their production and the trade stands in greater need of drilling in this particular, perhaps, than in any other. While the taking of unjust profits will start tongues wagging against us, in this day of trial for grower and retailer alike, if the importance of a legitimate degree of gain is lost sight of, breakers of a serious nature will be encountered in the near distance. Mac. THE HIGH PRICES. Much has been said anent the high values of flowers, in common with the advanced price of every other article for which the demand is greater than the supply. Undoubtedly many people of moderate circumstances were pre- vented from buying flowers on that ac- count, but the same might be said of numerous other things in everyday use. A better g^ade of salesmanship was re- quired to move goods, but the experi- CHRISTMAS GOODS. The high prices of plants and flowers were partially responsible for the ab- normally heavy sale of Christmas greens, wreaths and prepared goods. Although heavy preparations were made, the supply of stock of this kind was tremendously inadequate to the de- mand. One small florist, in a favorable location, declared he could have sold 500 more wreaths and moderately priced baskets made up of such materials as ruscus, boxwood, laurel, lycopodium and holly. Although the principal stores featured combination plant baskets largely, prepared stock and accessories occupied a conspicuous place in their displays and assisted immeasurably in making the places of business strik- ingly attractive. Good holly was quite scarce, as was also high-grade mistle- toe. Mac. ried plants and ferns, was prepared for the Christmas trade and was moved to evident advantage. Azaleas, of course^ were conspicuous by their absence, as were also finely done pans of bulbous stock. Although poinsettias were not up to their usual standard of excellence, some superb specimens were in evidence and commanded good prices. Plant growers were well rewarded for their efforts this Christmas and it is to be hoped that the increased returns will in- duce them to enlarge their output for next season. Mac. FANCY GRADES OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the unfavorably warm weather, the quality of cut flow- ers offered was especially good, both in roses and carnations. In the former the longer and fancy grades predomi- nated, and even the smaller florists in the remote districts bought them with freedom. As usual, there was a greater demand for shorter stock. Eastern vio- lets sold at prices practically double those of last year, but the call for them showed slight diminution. Fancy Rus- sells and Beauties from distant markets arrived in fine condition and were scarcely sufficient to meet the demand. Well grown, long-stemmed buddleia was also available and proved popular. More choice double stevia was used than ever before. Cut poinsettias were in moderate supply, but of good quality and were eagerly sought by discriminat- ing buyers. Small flowers for corsages were in good request and the call for them, including orchids, suggested a re- turn to old times. Mac. MEAI.Y BUG ON PAT.MR. Will you kindly advise me what to do for mealy bug on the roots of palms t The bugs are at the surface of the ground and go clear through the ball of soil. Is there anvthing I can do and not harm the plants? J. W. I.— 111. The safest method of cleaning mealy bugs from the roots of palms is to wash out the roots with a strong stream of water from a nozzle. A pressure of fifty to sixty pounds per square inch is a good force to work with and will clean out both the soil and bugs in short order. Do not expose the roots to the sun or allow them to dry out, but repot just as soon as the washing is com- pleted. Keep the plants in a night temperature of 60 to 65 degrees, and be careful that they are properly watered after repotting. The plants should not suffer any injury from the operation. W. H. T. CTJIiTTTRE OF CANDYTUFT. Please advise me when to plant candy- tuft so it will bloom for Memorial day. W. D. H. M.— Mass. PLANTS SOLD WELL.

As to varieties, any of the- mammoth strains may be grown. I have found Mammoth White Perfectiott fine. This crop, if it can be flowered just right, pays remarkably well. When well advai^ced, the plants will stand considerable forcing, provided the glass is shaded a little. This treatment is necessary only when the crop seems- to be late. C. W. January 2, 1919. The Florists' Review 15 OEIiEBRATE CHBISTllIAS. Some Overseas; Others on tlie Job. Christmas found many members of the trade back on the job after periods in the service overseas or at the train- ing camps in this country. It undoubt- edly was far from a cheerful Christmas for those whom the ocean separated from their homes^ but it was a busy one for those who had returned. Becent news letters in The Eeview have report- ed that hundreds of the florists who were in the camps here have returned. Several are back from overseas and, as the troop movements across the ocean are becoming larger, it will not be long before a majority of our florist-fighters will have resumed their peace-time oc- cupations. James Alva Gain. James Alva Gain, second son of W. A. Gain, seedsman and florist, Astoria, 111., died at Urbana, 111., December 8, at the age of 20 years, of pneumonia following influenza. He enlisted in the Students' Army Training Corps Octo- ber 1 and was a member of Headquar- tera Company I, at the University of Illinois. This youthful patriot was earnest and studious in his work and anxious to be of service to his coun- try. He intended to take the 4-year course in agriculture at the University of Illinois. He was possessed of marked ability and had been a valuable assist- ant to his father in business. In the Motor Corps. Harry J. Hamm, who at the time he started in business at Pittsburgh, Pa., was the youngest retailer in that city, enlisted in the Motor Bepair Service of the Quartermaster's Department, U. 8. A., May 19, 1918, and served until the armistice put an end to hostilities. Corp* Harry J. Hamm. While he is away Allen J. Hamm is con- ducting the business. Levlne Brings Souvenir. When the steamer George Washing- ton arrived at New York December 23 one of those who were glad to see the statue of Liberty again was Corporal Morris H. Levine, who is widely known among florists by reason of his years of itinerancy. Corporal Levine brought a souvenir from France, a piece of Ger- man shrapnel. Also he walked with a crutch. The New York Herald took his picture and that of the piece of shrap- nel. They appeared in the paper the day before Christmas. Sergeant Woodruff Safe. Sergeant Stiles D. Woodruff, of Orange, Conn., son of Watson S. Wood- ruff, has been heard from since the sign- ing of the armistice. He was located on the Verdun front during the last nine days of active artillery engagement. He is a member of the 302nd Field Artil- lery and was exceedingly active up to the stroke of eleven o'clock November 11. He reports a most intensely inter- esting experience, came through with- out a scratch and is well and happy. Sergeant Frank Gain. Sergeant Frank Gain, eldest son of W. A. Gain, Astoria, 111., won honors November 25, for which his experience in the trade aided him to qualify. He was assigned to special work superin- tending the planting of six acres of "spuds," which yielded a crop that was marketed for $3,800. His success in this work was rewarded by a silver medal and a parchment from the French government. He was one of five in his regiment wlio were decorated. Sergeant Gain assisted his father in planning and building his first greenhouse. He hopes to return home by spring, after his work in France has been finished. Thirty-eight from Iowa Seed Co. Since the war began the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, la., has contributed thirty-eight of its men to the various branches of the TJ. S. service. Included in this number are the foreman and propagator and nurserymen, rose grow- ers, section men and helpers. Albert E. Stevens, the foreman, is now serving in the Medical Department of the 349th Infantry in France. When the boys re- turn they will find their places open for them, the remainder of the force doing the work in the meantime. Vem Schluraff Betums. Vern Schluraff, who went from Chi- cago to Camp Gordon, Ga., where he was in the Central Officers' Training School at the time the armistice was signed, did not wait for the commission which he stood to get, but resigned in order to get back into harness in time for the holiday rush. He is in his former position as manager for J. M. Cochrane, West Pullman, 111., a post for which he is well qualified, having been in charge of the Schluraff Florid Co., at Erie, Pa., for years before he came west. Mr. Schluraff says that florists are especially well fitted to qualify for officers, because they al ready have learned to apply themselves strenuously to the task in hand. His hours in the training school were from 5 a. m. to 9 p. m. and the days were spent in hard work. He found the work incident to the Christmas rush "like play," after his experience in camp, where he says The Eeview was his con- stant companion. NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. The holiday trade was the best on record. There was not enough stock to meet requirements. In fact, business was limited only by the supply of flow- ers, but as prices were double those of last year, no one should complain. A business aggregating many more dollars than in any holiday season in the past was done with much less rush and overwork. This is as it should be. We are sure that if the growers were not so prone to produce a surplus of everything in its season, we should all make more money, sleep longer hours and enjoy bet- ter health. Poiusettias were in evidence in all their glory. In fact, they seemed finer than ever before, perhaps because they did not have to compete with azaleas. The supply was not so large as last year, but perhaps that was better than to have had too many. There is no better way Albert E. Stevens. 16 The Florists^ Review Januabt 2, 1919. to get people to shop early than for them to find things all sold out occasionally, if this does not happen too often. The feature of the stock was the large number of high-class cyclamens. Our growers have been showing improve- ment in their cyclamens for several years. This year there were hundreds that were fit to exhibit in any show in the land. They sold well, too, many of them bringing as high as $3 and even $4 apiece. But these were specimen plants, with half a hundred blooms 'on a single plant. There was practically no valley and few sweet peas. There were orchids in abundance and they retailed readily at $2 each. We saw one plant a few days before Christmas that had twelve good blooms on it, not a bad profit for one plant. There will be more orchids grown here as soon as the stock can be secured at a reasonable price. Though a few years ago the demand for orchids was small indeed, this has now grown to be decidedly an orchid town. Both roses and carnations were in abundance, and the quality of both was good. We saw a few Killarneys, silent witnesses to the rapidity with which new plants are being produced and used these days. It was a distinct surprise to see any at all. There were few bulbous plants this Christmas. There were plenty of Paper Whites, of course, and a few Grand Soleil d'Or, but no hyacinths at all. The trade surely is finding that it can do business without these items if neces- sary. One surprising thing noted in recent visits to the growers is that there are not so many sweet peas growing here this season as usual. One would have thought that this would have been a sweet pea year. Violets also are few and far between. The American Bea,uty rose is another flower that is passing. There are still a few and they command the highest price of all roses, but few growers feel that they can afford to grow them, at least in quantity. Various Notes. Miss Louise Sloan, who had been out of the Joy store for a number of weeks caring for her sick mother, was able to get back in time to help with the Christ- mas rush. Her mother is improving, but is still far from well. Mr. Johnson, who grew roses for the Joys for a number of years, but has been in Illinois for the last three years, is with the Joys again. Of course he has charge of the roses. S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was in the city a few days ago looking after the interests of his firm. He reports that the trade in general is looking forward to a heavy business the coming year. Geny Bros. -had the best lot of sola- num this Christmas that we have ever seen grown in Nashville. These are proving better sellers here every season. Now that the holiday rush is over, Leo Geny, president of the Tennessee State Florists' Association, is trying to get things in readiness for the coming meet- ing. The date and place of meeting will be given in our next report. F. B. Huntington, Ind. — A. G. Bieberich says he has no reason for complaint over business, but he says not all florists with whom he comes in contact seem to have awakened to the present values of flowers; some of his neighbors still care more for sales than for profit. NEW YORK. The Market. Never in the recollection of the old- est wholesaler was there a Christmas market like the one just passed into his- tory. As was expected, the supply of flowers was, vdth one or two exceptions, short, and would have been short even for an ordinary Saturday trade. Con- sequently, how to make a holiday mar- ket with it was a problem. Prices ad- justed themselves under the rule of sup- ply and demand. Only a small bundle of roses could be bought for $100 and, while the retailers mourned their sale prospects, they could not hold out, and the buying was brisk. Carnations were the weaklings of the market. Towards afternoon they were arriving in quan- tity, with whites in great majority. Prices took a tumble on all colors but red; whites were borne down to 4 cents. American Beauty roses were not in The Editor U pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated in gf^SES KT As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchange of experiences.

WE SHALL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU J heavy supply, but, in spite of limited quantity, brought no more than their customary Christmas top price of $125 per hundred. Other varieties forged ahead of records, and the lowest grade could not be bought at less than $15, with little available stock in the grade. There was an unusually good supply of cattleyas, but the demand was not heavy, and prices in few cases ex- ceeded the dollar mark, with small flow- ers bringing as little as 20 cents. Vio- lets were particularly scarce, but the price of the early part of the week only was maintained, and sales above the $3 mark were not heard of. Easter lilies were in adequate supply, without change in price. Godfrey chrysanthemums were in good supply at one or two estab- lishments and cleared quickly at 50 cents for six sprays. It was a high-priced market on a short supply of stock, rather than a good business with a plentiful supply. The plantsmen cleaned up their stocks long before the actual holiday buying set in, and the plant business was prof- itable, according to reports. The end of the week saw a settling back of conditions to those of just be- fore the holiday. Boses are not in heavy, supply, but heavy enough for the de-i mand, which really is light. It is not e^^peoiied that there will be much change in the rose supply for some weeks. The quality of arrivals generally is excel- lent. Carnations are in fair supply only now, after passing the holiday cut, and there has been a reaction in prices, the range now being 8 cents to 12 cents, the latter figure for the finest quality only. The supply of cattleyas is not so good, but 75 cents per flower is the limit. The supply of gardenias has declined con- siderably, consequently the best grade brings as much as $9 per dozen. Oncid- ium splendidum is available in small quantities and of good quality; 3 cents per flower is the price. Violets are scarce, due to diverted shipments; but sweet peas are in better supply and of finer quality, so they are largely taking the place of the vio- lets. There are plenty of Easter lilies, al- though the quality as a rule is poor. Arrivals consist of small, green flowers, fit for nothing but funeral work. The top price is still 20 cents per flower. Calendulas, bouvardia, forget-me-not, pansies and other such flowers are in good supply and move well. Paper White narcissus, strange to say, is not greatly in evidence, although usually common at this season. Spanish iris has put in an appearance and sells well at rational prices- Retailers, with few exceptions, did a fairly good business, but are unani- mously of the opinion that trade v*dth them would have been heavy had they been able to supply flowers at prices normal for the Christmas season. The retail price of $5 per dozen for short roses turned away many buyers, and customary profits had to be severely cut to make sales. Various Notes. A fire December 26 above the store of George C. Siebrecht, 109 West Twen- ty-eighth street, did considerable dam- age, but the store was not greatly harmed. W. H. Coldwell, of the Coldwell Lawn Mower Co., Newburgh, N. Y., died De- cember 26. He was a member of the S. A. F. and was greatly respected and esteemed by the oflScials of the New York flower shows as a stanch sup- porter of the trade sections of these ex- hibitions. He was of a cheery disposi- tion, and will be generally missed at future shows. He was 55 years of age. Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., 561 Fifth avenue, furnished several handsome pieces for the funeral, which took place at Newburgh. Richard Wenham, 76 East Ninety- third street, had the decorations for a dinner party at the home of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., 666 Fifth avenue, at Christmas. The style of decoration was unique and supposedly emblematic of the times. The motif was "The World Upside Down," consequently the dec- orations were, as far as possible, in reverse order. Trees were suspended by the roots, and the other decorative fea- tures were in harmony. C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.; Major O'Keefe, Boston, Mass.; W. R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn,, and John Young, of New York, are arranging to attend a meeting of the Florists' Club of Phila- delphia January 7, to take part in the proceedings of the evening, which are to be devoted to a boost for the pub- licity campaign.

No Claim of Trade Demand. While certain members of the trade favor the approaching plant quaran- tine, it seems clear that they must be few in number, because the Federal Hor- ticultural Board, in its annual report, surely would have mentioned the fact had it felt that the approaching quar- antine had any support in the trade. Of the demand for the quarantine the board's chairman, C. L. Marlatt, has the following to say in his annual report: "The need of additional restrictions or prohibitions, particularly • with re- spect to the entry of certain classes of nursery stock and other plants and seeds on account of exceptional risks involved, has been under consideration by the Federal Horticultural Board for some time. This consideration has had re- lation particularly to (1) plants im- ported with earth about the roots or 'balled' plants and (2) plants and seeds of all kinds for propagation from little known or little explored countries. The large risk from importations of these two classes of plants comes from the impossibility of properly inspecting plants with earth or of disinfecting the attached earth; and from the dangers which can not be foreseen with respect to plants coming from regions where plant enemies — insect and disease — have been studied very meagerly or not at all. Inspection of such material is necessarily in the blind, and the dis- covery of infesting insects, particularly if hidden in bark or wood, or of evi- dence of disease, is largely a matter of chance. The inspection and disinfec- tion of both of these classes of plants as a condition of entry, therefore, is a very imperfect safeguard. "There has further developed throughout the country a wide interest in this subject, which has manifested itself in numerous requests for greater restriction on plant imports from official bodies representing the state depart- ments of agriculture, the inspection of- ficials of the states, entomological and phytopathological associations, forestry associations, etc. ' ' Scientific, ' ' not Practical "As a basis for such needed addition- al quarantine restrictions a public hear- ing was conducted at this department May 28, 1918, at which the whole sub- ject was fully discussed with all of the interests concerned, including, in addition to those enumerated, both the importing nurserymen and seedsmen, as well as the producing nurserymen of the United States." The report stops right there; there is no claim of trade support. SPARED ALL THESE DANGERS! Report of Federal Inspector. The Federal Horticultural Board ex- ists for the purpose of protecting the agriculture and arboriculture of the United States from destruction by the hunnish hordes of European plant pests — for that and to provide jobs for a lot of gents most of whom were or are addressed as "Professor." It is of course necessary to justify the board's existence and this is what it did, with state assistance, in the year ended June 30, 1918, in the way of inspecting im- ported nursery stock, over 13,000 cases of it: "As the result of state and federal inspection of imported nursery stock and other imported plants and plant products during the fiscal year, some 280 different species of insects were inter- cepted, including seven nests of the brown-tail moth and three egg masses of the gipsy moth from France; six pupae of the sorrel cutworm on miscel- laneous stock from France, and one on azaleas from Belgium; larvae of the gold-tail moth on rhododendrons, labur- nums, roses, and Japanese maples from Holland and on Cerasus avium from France; the lesser bulb fly in bulbs from Holland, nests of the fruit-tree pierid in six shipments of deciduous fruit-tree seedlings from France, numerous scale insects and ants from various quarters of the globe. One on the Nurserymen. "During the same period, 218 plant diseases were intercepted and identified on imported material. These organisms occurred on 115 different host plants. Three attempts were made to import, respectively, grapefruit, mandarin or- ange, and round orange, found to be affected with citrus canker. All were from the vicinity of Canton, China. "With respect to the assurance by nurserymen that apple stocks from France are very free from crown gall, it is interesting to note that every tree of a shipment of 1,009 apple stocks received by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture from France was rejected because it was affected with a hairy root form of crown gall." The above is from the annual report of the board. The seriousness of the situation and the importance of the results accom- plished are all in the point of view. OFF YEAR'S IMPORTS OF PLANTS. The table at the foot of this page gives the country of origin and the classes of plants imported during the year ending June 30, 1918. It should be remembered that the plant imports in that fiscal year were only a little more than one-fifth the number of cases that came in the second season before. Practically all this will be cut off by the approaching quarantine. ORIGIN AND NATURE OF NURSERY-STOCK IMPORTATIONS IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1918.

BOSTON. The Market. Extraordinary conditions prevailed in the market the first Christmas after the close of the great war. There was a marked shortage of cut flowers, with remarkably high prices. As a conse- quence plants were pushed more than ever and the remarkable feature of the last holiday was the increased favor shown plants by buyers. All the plant specialists sold out well ahead of Christ- mas and had to refuse numerous orders. Easily the leader among flowering plants was the cyclamen and Boston never had so many well flowered specimens of it before, many thousands being disposed of in pots from four and five inches in diameter up to 14-inch tubs. Begonias had big sales, especially Cincinnati and Melior; the old Lorraine proved less popular, but Mrs. Peterson sold well. Poinsettias, thanks to the warm weather, never sold better. Euphorbia jacquiniseflora proved popular and prim- ulas, ardisias, solanums, peppers, Erica melanthera, camellias, azaleas, of which a fair number were available, freesias, colored-leaved plants, indeed, everything in the plant line sold splendidly and the holiday set a new high record in plant sales. As to cut flowers, the warm weather favored the growers. When we remem- ber the severe weather in December, 1917, and compare that season with the present one, we see that the supply of flowers this year was fully three-fourths that of a year ago. The high prices, of course, frightened many would-be buy- ers, but supplies easily sold out and practically everyone had to cut down orders or refuse them. Boses sold re- markably well. Select American Beau- ties made $18 per dozen and extra fine Hadleys $12, a good many realizing $6 to $8 per dozen. Ophelia was in great demand and made up to $50. Bussell, next to Hadley, realized the highest price of all the hybrid teas. Stanley and Columbia each sold well. Many items were off crop and reds were scar- cer than usual. On short-stemmed stock prices were from $12 up. Carna- tions sold well until December 24, when a considerable quantity of held-back stock arrived, for which growers asked $16 to $20, which retailers refused to pay. As a consequence, prices broke and a good many flowers went as low as $6 to $8. Christmas morning sales were made at $10 to $15; a small number only sold above the $15 mark. Violets were scarce and sold at $3 to $."), the highest price for them ever recorded here. Sweet peas were not abundant at $2 to $4. Of pansies a good number appeared, but not a fraction of what were needed. They made $2 to $4. A supply of freesia appeared, selling at $8 to $10 per hun- dred. Marguerites made as high as $6 and mignonette, $8 to $12. Only small lots of Paper Whites came and no daf- fodils or tulips. There was a great call for callas at $24 to $30 per hundred. Lilies went slowly at $20 to $25. Cat- tleyas were in tolerably good supply and a fair supply of other orchids was available. Asparagus went sluggishly, owing to the scarcity and high prices of flowers. Greenery, such as boxwood, holly, laurel, hemlock, etc., sold out clean. Prices since Christmas remain high. Short-stemmed roses are realizing $10 to $12 and carnations $10 to $12. There is also little drop in prices of violets, callas, lilies and other flowers, due to the continued heavy call for funeral work. The influenza is still with us and Boston reports 300 to 450 new cases daily, of a milder form, however, than in September and October. Various Notes. John T. Gale, of Tewksbury, had a splendid lot of marguerites for Christ- mas and cleaned up the last of his mums at high prices. He is picking a fine crop of Spencer sweet peas. Henry M. Robinson & Co. report a satisfactory Christmas, although they had to refuse many orders for flowers. They have had a large call for wax flowers of late to replace natural flow- era. Christmas greenery sold out clean. The roses of the Budjong Rose Co., of Auburn, R. I., were in light crop for the holidays and this firm had only a small nilmber of reds, but Stanley, Ophelia and Columbia realized high prices. Frank Wheeler, salesman at the Co- operative Market for his father, has been passing cigars. This makes his second boy, born December 26 and thriving finely. B. A. Snyder states that business with his firm was better than ever this Christ- mas. He enthuses over the Chicago wholesale market and the numerous long-distance buyers met there. Donald Carmichael, of Wellesley, hit the market right with a fine crop of mignonette, carnations and calendulas for the holidays. James Lister, of Stoneham, had a nice cut of Erica melanthera, which has been used a great deal here in funeral work of late, and of stevia for Christ- mas. Peter Jansen, of Norfolk Downs, and Miss Washington, of North Stoughton, had large Christmas cuts of freesia. Miss Washington also had calendulas of fine quality. Hadley, Ophelia and Russell roses of remarkable quality came from the Wa- ban Conservatories, Natick, and from the Hadley establishment of the Mont- gomery Co. They realized the highest price of all roses in the local market. Frank Edgar says he never experi- enced such a demand for poinsettias as for the last Christmas. He had, among other plants, a fine lot of large-flowered cinerarias and has a large batch coming on for late winter blooming. He will try Delphinium Belladonna as a pot plant for next Easter. Charles T. Beasley says, while he sold more pansies than a year ago, he could have sold treble the number. He will grow Canterbury bells and sweet peas in one large house he has empty at pres- ent. Thomas Hiffe, one of Daniel Iliffe's sons, in active service in France, states in a recent letter that Fathers' day was celebrated there November 24 and many flowers used. In the United States Fathers' day, so far, seems to be considered a joke. At both the stores of T. F. Galvin, Inc., a record Christmas trade in plants was done. Among cut flowers at the Park street store were noted some hand- some cymbidiums, vandas, Iselias and cattleyas. Recent visitors included Paul A. Win- ter, representing Sutton & Sons, Eng- land, and F. C. Green, superintendent of parks, Providence, now well con- valesced from a serious illness. The seventh annual convention of the New England Nurserymen 's Association will be held at the Hotel Bellevue, Bos- ton, January 28 and 29, 1919. A splen- did program has been arranged, which should interest growers greatly. Able speakers will discuss important topics. Among the more important are the "Proposed Quarantine on the Importa- tion of Nursery Stock," "New Rules Affecting Transportation," and "New Laws Relating to the Distribution of Nursery Stock in Interstate Com- merce." The last named will be dis- cussed by Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, counsel for the American Association of Nurserymen. Of interest to the general public will be an illustrated lecture, "How Can we Make New England More Fruitful and Beautiful?" Another timely topic will be "New Ornamentals of Real Merit Nurserymen Should Grow," by William H. Judd, of the Arnold Arbore- tum. As a result of the war and new legislation, changes have come to the nursery trade and under new conditions it will be necessary to grow a wider range of hardy trees, shrubs and plants to take the place in some measure of those previously imported. All inter- ested growers will be welcomed to the meetings. Henry Penn states that business with his firm ran thirty-five per cent ahead of 1917 for Christmas. Unusually mild weather greatly facilitated deliveries and customers unwilling to purchase cut flowers at existing high rates turned to plants, of which there was fortunately an excellent supply of unusually high quality. The sensation among scarlet carna- tions for the Christmas trade was Peter Fisher's Red Cross. This variety com- pletely outclasses Beacon and will bear watching. Mr. Fisher has some 700 plants at Ellis, where he is operating this year only two houses for the local trade, but at the range of the Arnold- Fisher Co., Woburn, 10,000 plants are growing. This variety will be shown at the Cleveland convention. It will not be introduced this winter, Mr. Fish- er believing in giving all novelties a thorough try-out first. Many of those who have attended the annual club picnics at Cunningham park. East Milton, will learn with deep regret of the death of Mrs. George Simp- son, wife of the superintendent, on Christmas day, after a brief illness with influenza. Mrs. Simpson was most hos- pitable and at each annual picnic "en- deavored in every way to make it pleas- ant for the ladies. Funeral services were held December 28 and were large- ly attended. Among the many floral tributes was one from the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston. Mrs. Simpson was in her fifty-eighth year. Thomas Roland's establishment at Nahant was swept clear of practically every salable plant. Stock here was never in finer condition. At Revere the rose houses were in good crop and prices realized were the best ever. It was an ideal season for poinsettias. The mildness of the weather made them sell as never before. John McFarland, of North Easton, had a large house of splendid plants which easily sold out. Other growers report equally satisfac- tory sales. Peter Pederzini, of Medfield, is re- covering from a severe attack of in- fluenza. Both Charles S. Strout and wife, of Biddeford, Me., are at present sick with this disease. W. N. 0. Januabt 2, 1919. The Florists^ Review 19 OBITUARY E. y. Teas. A veteran horticulturist and nursery- man passed away December 15 in the person of E. Y. Teas, who has been living at Eaton, O., since his retirement in 1912, when the Cunningham Nursery Co., of Seymour, Ind., purchased the business, stock and fixtures of the firm of E. Y. Teas & Son. F. E. Teas, the "Son," however, continued in the trade, giving special attention to the growing of gladioli for the wholesale market. It was in 1842 that the brothers, E. Y. Teas and John C. Teas, started growing orchard trees in a small way for their own use, when the former was only 12 years of age. This led, however, to the growing later of fruit trees for sale and, as the years went on, an extensive business was developed in the nursery line. The firm of E. Y. & J. C. Teas sup- plied the eastern trade with many varie- ties of fruit trees of western and south- ern origin and in 1844 the brothers com- menced the growing of catalpa trees from seed. They placed on the market the first seedlings of Catalpa speciosa sold commercially in this country. The superior hardiness of this variety has brought it into wide acceptance since that date and millions of it have been used. It has largely replaced C. bignon- ioides, which had been the catalpa of commerce. E. Y. Teas was the first dis- seminator of Garber's Hybrid pear and of the Lucretia dewberry. He pro- duced the variety of sugar cane known as Early Amber from seed selected per- sonally in Paris, in 1859-60. He origi- nated the President Wilder currant. The name of Teas also is linked imper- ishably with the weeping mulberry. E, Y. Teas was one of the twenty-one charter members of the Indiana Horti- cultural Society in 1880 and he survived all the others by many years. He also was one of the earliest members of the American Association of Nurserymen and was faithful in attendance upon the meetings of that body for three dec- ades. Mr. Teas' illness was brief, although he had been failing in health for sev- eral weeks, being in his eighty-ninth year. He never lost his interest in hor- ticultural affairs and was a reader of several horticultural publications, as well as of trade papers. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, Mrs. J. E. Parker. Floyd Long. Floyd Long, manager of the green- houses of Kolf Zetlitz, Lima, O., died December 16 at his home on Bellefon- taine avenue, of pneumonia. Mr. Long was 29 years of age and had been em- ployed at the greenhouses for six years. Besides his widow and a daughter, he is survived by his father, J. M. Long, of American township, and four broth- ers. Wlnfield S. Harry. Having rounded a half century in the florists' trade at Conshohocken, Pa., Winfield S. Harry died at his home in that city, December 19, at the age of 75 years. He was one of the best known of its citizens, his vocation having Edward Y. Teas. brought him into association with many people. He is survived by his wife, two sons, Eeverend Ernest Harry, an Epis- copal clergyman, of Cleveland, O., and William Harry, of Philadelphia. Emmett McDonald. Emmett McDonald, a dahlia specialist and mum grower, died at his home in Overland Park, Mo., of influenza, De- cember 24, at the age of 42 years. Mr. McDonald was well known in trade cir- cles in St. Louis and was a member of the St. Louis Florists' Club. He leaves a wife and two brothers to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held De- cember 27 and the interment was De- cember 28, at Decatur, 111., his former home. J. J. B. Alonzo W. Vose. Alonzo W. Vose, for more than a quar- ter of a century identified with the greenhouse and retail florists' business in northern Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts, died at his home on Cum- berland hill road, Woonsocket, R. I., De- cember 26, after an extended illness. He was in his seventieth year, death being due to a complication of diseases. Mr. Vose was born in the town of Lin- coln, R. I., August 6, 1849, the son of the late Albert E. and Minerva (Esten) Vose. He attended the public schools in his native town and graduated at the Woonsocket high school. He married Miss Ida Sprague, of Cumberland, June 20, 1869, and remained in Cumberland until 1895, when he moved to his pres- ent home on the Cumberland hill road. While a resident of the town of Lin- coln in his younger days he was prominent in town affairs and held important town offices. For a number of years he held the office of postmaster of the Manville office. He retired from this position thirty-five years ago to enter the flo- rists' business and had been identified therewith ever since. He was a member of the Rhode Island Horticultural So- ciety and frequently officiated as judge of plants and flowers at the exhibitions of that and similar societies. His green- houses were situated near his home and comprised more than 10,000 square feet, wherein he grew several thousand vege- table and bedding plants each year, in addition to cut flowers for his retail store at 241 Main street, Woonsocket. He also supplied other retailers in that section. Mr. Vose was a man of sterling char- acter and one who took a deep interest in the affairs of the community, as well as in the upbuilding of horticultural and floricultural interests. Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, one son, two sisters and three grandchildren, one of the latter, Joseph Foster, being a pri- vate in the 26th Regiment of Engineers, A. E. F., now in France. W. H. M. W. H. Drake. W. H. Drake, who died December 23 at his home in Kenosha, Wis., was a veteran florist and landscape gardener, whose success in these lines was due to his fine taste. Mr. Drake was a man of sterling character and held the esteem of many friends. He was 67 years of age. John Paget. John Paget, landscape gardener of the Pennsylvania State hospital, Harris- burg, Pa., for the last twenty-six years, died December 23 at that institution, at the age of 73 years. He formerly was gardener for the late Senator J. Donald Cameron, at the latter 's farm at Lochiel, Pa., a position he held for seventeen years. Charles Wamcke, Jr. Charles Wamcke, Jr., Detroit, Mich., died Christmas morning of bronchial pneumonia at his home on West Fort street. He had been associated with his father, Charles Wamcke, in the trade for the last ten years. He was a member of the Detroit Florists' Club and of the Elks. Enfield, England. — A disastrous fire occurred at Perry 's Hardy Plant Farms, December 10, completely getting a large block of buildings, including at least 4,000 lilies awaiting shipment to a cus- tomer in the United States. Unfortu- nately, this stock cannot be replaced. January :.•, 1919. The Florists^ Review 19 OBITUARY E. Y. Teas. A veteran horticulturist and nursery- man passed away December 15 in the person of E.

It is impossible to guarantee the in- sertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions are received BY 4 P. M. TUESDAY. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. America could grow its own narcissus bulbs easier than its own bay trees. Practically all government war re- strictions were withdrawn January 1. It will be a long time before the pro- duction of plants of most kinds again catches up with the demand. A GENERAL balancing of accounts now is in order. There is no sense in paying income taxes on uncollectable accounts included as profits. The boys are coming home by scores and each one finds his old job waiting for him. The trade still is short-handed, particularly in the greenhouses. The average florist has no definite ob- jective. Plan one. What are you after! Where is it to be had? What is the way to itf Are you on that road? Go to it. Those florists who are awaiting the next special flower day should study the ways of the marathon runner — he puts his best efforts into every mile of the course. Starting some palm seeds whenever you can get them will be like buying war savings stamps. In about five years you are certain to cash in at a good profit. In the meantime, you jirobably won't miss the money. A YEAR ago we all had many more troubles than we have now. In January and February, 1918, most of us were mighty glad we didn't freeze out yester- day and hoped we wouldn't tomorrow. Beyond that, there wasn 't much doing. President and Mrs. Wilson continue to be the ambassadors of flowers to the Peace Conference. Mrs. Wilson, through her habitual use of orchids as corsages, has become known to Europeans as ' ' the orchid lady," news dispatches say, while the President's progress through the Eu- ropean capitals has been over flower- strewn streets. Cannas, 4-inch, will be good property in season. Now come the days when a reserve supply of coal is worth all it cost. Five years from now, if the quaran- tine lasts, a pair of bay trees will be a curiosity. Don't miss the coal article in the Heating Department of this issue. Un- fortunately, it offers little hope of lower l)rices for next season. Collections should be good this month. If a florist can not buy after three months of such business as that of the last quarter of 1918, what is the reason? To each individual in the United States, ^Yhether he was selling services or mer- chandise, his own this year's Christmas ])riees seemed fully justified. All others were profiteering. In writing for the trade press one must be literal, absolutely. If sarcasm or humor are not blunt a contemporary likely as not will fail to get the point and waste a column over it. Don 't let your wish to produce the largest possible quantity of spring bed- ding stock cause you to lose sight of the necessity of maintaining quality. While fine prices are in prospect for good stuff, poor quality will produce nothing but dissatisfaction. Probably it is too much to ask of liuman nature, but it will be far better to charge the public fair prices and pay the grower enough to enable him to hire the men he needs; don't take advantage of every opportunity to grind prices down; let's see "how good, not how cheap" we can do things in this trade. THE WINTER SEASON. Prospects for the winter season promise a demand that will absorb every item of stock the grower can place upon the market. In fact, due to war-time exigencies and consequent limitation of production, the probabil- ity is that at best the supply will fill only a part of requirements. Prices will be at the top notch and the mar- ket steady. It therefore behooves the grower to move his stock as rapidly as it comes into season and utilize his space for the growing of crops in rapid rotation, in order to reap a rich harvest in this time of unexampled activity for the trade. Many growers realize the importance of embracing the great op- portunity like this: Tlip carnation stock advertised in the Classi- fied section of The Review is entirely sold out and we could have sold ten times as much. — George Seubold, Huntingburg, Ind., December 20, 1918. Kindly discontinue our ad of scliizanthus, as ■we had an order for the entire lot the day The Review came out. — The Morris Floral Co., Morris, 111., December 23, 1918. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pret- ty sure he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. CYCAS LEAVES SCARCE. Reports from Japan indicate that the American trade will experience a big shortage of cycas leaves this year. One big shipper in Japan has advised Ameri- can supply houses which prepare these leaves for the florists' trade that there is a great scarcity of leaves and that, owinjg to European markets having ab- sorbed a large portion of the supply, it has been impossible to ship to this country the quantities that the orders called for. The crops of cycas leaves are cut in the autumn in Japan and some ship- ments already received here are far from the size expected. The new crop will not be cut until the autumn of 1919, meaning that the preparers will not be able to supply leaves again, after their present stock is exhausted, until early in 1920. According to one manufacturer, the supply now in this country will not last long. GARDENERS' WAGES. The subject of gardeners' wages is up for discussion, the wages of those who work on private estates. M. C. Ebel, secretary of the National Association of Gardeners, has written an essay entitled "The Gardener and His Recompense," which he has sent in proof form to the secretaries of local horticultural societies with the sugges- tion that it be made the subject of dis- cussion at the January meetings. The same mail brings a copy of "Flower Lore," published by Maurice Fuld, containing an article entitled "The Underpaid Gardener." "You must admit," writes Mr. Fuld, "that it takes some courage to present this article to my readers, but I feel that it is timely and that it is really neces- sary. My paper now goes into the homes of about 6,000 of the most influential garden owners and so it will bring this matter home where it should be, but it does not reach the gardener, and so I would appreciate if you would give this article wide publicity, and I am sure it will redound to your credit as well." We will all agree that every good gardener should have what his services are worth to his employer and it is quite possible gardeners would be more high- ly appreciated if their services cost more. CHICAGO. The Market. Summing up the Christmas business, it was much the largest this market ever has known, accounted for by higher average prices, as the quantity of stock available did not equal that of other years. The individual percentages of increase vary widely, partly because some growers had more or less stock than others, and, with the commission men, because there has been considerable switching about among the consignors. Taking it as a whole, probably stock matched up with orders as well as in any other years; As a big shortage had been foreseen, wholesalers had been careful about booking orders and, because prices were higher, retailers had ordered conservatively. Nobody had stock enough for all the orders he might have taken, but many houses filled about all the orders they took. The market was a little easier after the shipping orders were out, partly be- cause December 24 was a wet, sloppy, snowy day, but at no time did the mar- ket have a surplus of anything except stock of such poor quality as not to meet the requirements of the gift de- mand. Poor stock never is in request at Christmas. There were many com- plaints that stock had been "pickled" January 2, 1919.

Every- where customers were turned away be- cause of the lack of stock and every- where prices were the highest ever known in this locality. Potted plants were the leaders in popularity, perhaps, because more popular in price. Jeru- salem cherries, peppers, poinsettias, cyclamens, begonias and ferns cleared readily at from $1 up. Although some people refused to pay such prices, practically all cut flowers were sold. Carnations ranged from $3 to $6 a dozen, while, roses made from $4 to $24 per dozen. Poinsettias were good property at from $6 to $12 a dozen. All small flowers were rare. Violets, sweet peas, valley and calendulas were in good demand for corsage work, but were inadequate in supply. A few Roman hyacinths made an excellent substitute for valley. Carnations have become more plenti- ful since Christmas, with clear weather. Prices, however, have not dropped, as they still bring from $10 to $15 per hun- dred. Roses are scarce, especially short grades, and they range from $6 to $30 per hundred. Funeral work continues in heavy de- mand and absorbs all available lilies. Easter and rubrum lilies are in limited supply and callas move readily at $2.50 and $3 per dozen. The usual supply of poinsettias has not been available this year. Both cut flowers and potted plants are inadequate to the demand. Narcissi, both yellow and white, are in the market at $6 per hundred. A meager supply of Roman hyacinths is seen. So far this season, sweet peas have had no place in the market because of their extreme scarcity, dark weather having affected the crops. Various Notes. Indianapolis has a new flower shop, called the New York Flower Store, which is located on Illinois street be- tween Market and Washington. It is owned by a young Greek, who devotes half of his store to flowers and the other half to candy. Bernie Fohl, recently with A. Wie- gand's Sons Co., is now with E. A. Nel- son. William Ross is also in the employ of the latter firm. John Grande's wife and baby both have influenza. Harry Bookedis is still down with the same disease. The January meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana wUl be held January 14 at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis. This is to be the big meeting of the year, at which there will be held a flower show and a ban- quet. A large attendance is hoped for 28 The Florists^ Review jANDABt 2, 1919.

From reports gathered from the lead- ing retailers downtown and in the west end, we must record this year's Christ- mas business as satisfactory. A great quantity of plants was offered because of the high prices of cut flowers and the retailers had large numbers of them. These brought the business, as the pub- lic kept away from cut flowers as much as possible. The weather, too, was highly satisfactory and plants needed little wrapping, which saved a great deal of time. In looking over the show- rooms of the uptown florists, we found them empty by noon Christmas day, but there was still a fairly good supply of cut flowers in the iceboxes. Among the plants that sold well were cherries and peppers. Poinsettias, as usual, had the call, with cyclamens and begonias next. Arrangements of mixed plants in bas- kets sold better than ever, and some exceedingly handsome ones were seen. The usual pots and pans of bulbous stock were missed, as only a few were in. As to cut flowers, there hardly was any choice. The high prices scared many buyers off. One retailer declared that "another year of out-of-reach prices on cut stock will about kill the cut flower business for Christmas." De- cember 24 prices in the wholesale mar- ket broke badly, as many of the retail- ers refused to buy at the quotations. Consequently prices were cut heavily. Carnations went down to as low as $5 per hundred, with $8 per hundred the top for fancies. The wholesalers this year surely were "between the devil and the deep, blue sea," with the grow- ers demanding high prices and the re- tailers refusing to buy, while those who had placed orders in advance were com- plaining when the market broke. This situation applied only to carnations, as other cut stock was held at about the prices of other years. There was a satisfactory demand for roses in all grades and varieties. Beau- ties were scarce, but the supply of Eus- sells, Ophelias, Columbias and the Kil- larneys was good, and prices were about ^lllilllllllllllllllllililllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM^ i i I More Flowers for Less Honey I I CARNATIONS, ROSES, SWEET PEAS I Russell 15c to 40c Columbia 15c to 40c Ophelia 8c to 20c Killarneys 8c to 1 5c Wards 8c to 15c Sunburst 8c to 20c Carnations 5c to 8c Sweet Peas, 100, $1.50 to $3.00 Bronze Galax 1000, 1 .50 Asparagus bunch, .50 Fancy Ferns 1000, 5.00 Cal.

McNutt cut some choice Eussell roses for Christmas and was compelled to refuse orders for them. His sweet pea crop is fine. He reports Christmas business good and is well pleased. Mrs. Ella Angus, with Mr. McNutt, has the sympathy of tjie. tjrade in the loss of her sister. A. H. Dailey reports a good Christ- mas. He sold out all stock at top prices. Mrs. Bosa Hall Eyno, as usual, had choice plants for Christmas. Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc., had some of the finest red carnations ever shown on this market, also the finest Columbia roses. This firm was fortu- nate in having enough stock of its own growth, as the shipments coming were poor and in most cases delayed. It re- ports a fifteen per cent increase in Christmas business, with a thirty-five per cent decrease in Christmas expenses, which speaks well for its system.

Charles L. Baum has been confined to the house for the last few days with a severe cold. Miss Mapes, with Baum, is also sick. The Crouch Co. had some choice poin- settias for Christmas. This firm has added a new Overland truck. C. S. Custer sold out clean at Christ- mas. The Howell Nursery Co. continues to have a heavy demand for all kinds of ornamental shrubbery.

DAVENPORT, S. ISLAND, MOUNE. The Markets. Trade on the whole was hardly up to expectations last week. Especially was thik true of the .cut flower market. High pricfes seemed to be the cause of the slackeMng of sales. Poinsettias had the first call. Boses, carnations and other cut flowers were in demand chiefly for funeral work. The general feeling of the trade is that cut flowers were too high- priced and that, though sales reckoned j in dollars and cents were probably equal to those of other years, the number of individual purchases was less. Potted plants, including poinsettias, cyclamens, begonias, primroses, etc., were in larger demand than formerly, while azaleas and rhododendrons were conspicuous by their absence, much to the regret of the florists. The sales since Christmas have dropped off noticeably, and it looks as though prices would have to be reduced or business will slacken up decidedly. A snow storm December 24 interfered with deliveries and doubt- less curtailed the sale of cut flowers to some extent. To show the way in which high prices affected sales of cut flowers, a lady patron stated that a patient in a local *l...Ak.J*>'. 36 The Florists^ Review January 2, 1919.

"When all available space was filled, he directed that the plants be distributed among the other patients who had not been re- membered so well. Cut flower growers may draw their own inferences. Various Notes. The Bills Floral Co., Davenport, la., reports that poinsettias were the only cut flowers in which sales came up to ex- pectations. Of potted plants of all kinds this firm could not secure enough to fill orders. Forbor & Bird, Davenport, la.; J. Staack & Sons, Moline, 111.; J. E. Tuckis, Rock Island, 111., and Henry G. Pauli, Davenport, 111., all enjoyed brisk busi- ness, in potted plants especially, and all report an active market since the holi- day.

While it ^yas not freezing, making deliveries was disagree- able, but only a little wrapping was necessary. Christmas morning the tem- perature dropped to 25 degrees and to- ward evening the first snow of the win- ter fell, making it seem like Christmas. Business was excellent, the demand be- ing greater than the supply of either cut flowers or plants. Prices were at least fifty per cent higher than a year ago. Eoses and carnations were so high in price and hard to get that most of the florists who did not grow their own stock depended on plants to supply their customers. There were fine ferns, poin- settias, begonias, cyclamens and other plants in pans to be had. Various Notes. The Lockyear Floral Co. enjoyed a fine business.

Because of the approaching quaran- tine, Holland will send over large quan- tities of gladiolus bulblets this season. LoEWiTH, Larson & Co. received 300 bags of seeds on the Cedric, from Liver- pool, which reached New York Decem- ber 23. There is a rather general belief that the 1917 season was high water mark in the s^ed business, but the 1919 season will be a big one. It is the belief, supported by consider- able evidence, that most of the gladiolus bulbs have passed from the hands of the growers and that prices will advance. Additions to the equipment of the Farmers Seed & Nursery Co., Faribault, Minn., include an entire new floor on the main building, giving increased floor space of 9,200 feet, also labor saving de- vices, cleaning mills and an electric ele- vator. Higher prices on all seed stock purchased necessitates the use of larger capital than ever before, but trade pros- pects warrant liberal expenditures. The spring catalogue will be mailed early in the new year to the 150,000 patrons of this firm, which annually appropriates $10,000 for other publicity. SEED QBOWING CONTRACTS. Legal Status of Grower. An instructive and important decision of the Georgia Court of Appeals, handed down in the case of Gilbert vs. Cope- land, 97 Southeastern Reporter, 251, shows that an agreement to grow seed for another may constitute the grower a seller in the sense that he retains the title until delivery, or, by pertinent language, the grower may be held to be a mere employee, thereby precluding him from making a valid sale of the crop to some third person without the consent of the other party to the con- tract. The agreement in this case was close to the border line on the question whether the grower was a seller or mere employee, but the court holds that the seed at all times belonged to the seedsman, determining that the grow- er's legal status was that of employee. Terms and Conditions. The plaintiff and one Bell entered into a written contract which recited that the latter would "raise for and deliver to" the former watermelon seed to be grown during the year of 1917 on ten acres of "land suitable in quantity and condition for the purpose. ' ' Bell also undertook to "properly cultivate and care for the crop, and harvest, cure, separate and clean, as well as prac- ticable with ordinary farm machinery, its entire seed products in such man- ner as to secure the greatest possible returns of seed suitable for seedsmen's use, deliver all seed to D.

Gilbert, as herein provided," Another clause of the agreement re- quired the plaintiff to furnish the stock seed, with a condition that "the stock seed and the seed crop produced there- from is, and is to remain, the property of D. H. Gilbert, except as hereinafter provided." Other pertinent parts of the contract were as follows: "It is furtlier mutually agreed that D. H. Gilbert, or his agent, may at any time enter the field and at his own expense make such examinations, selections, or rejections as he deems de- sirable for the betterment of the crop for seed purposes, and he is not to pay for any necessary damage, if any, to the general crop, resulting from such work. « * * Any necessary remill- ing to be done by D.

In all cases, all screenings and culls are to remain the property of the party who separates them from the crop." After a provision that, in case the crop should prove to be unfit for seeds- men 's use, title to the same should vest in Bell, the contract concluded with an agreement that plaintiff would pay Bell 10 cents per pound for all satisfac- tory seed delivered under the contract in excess of ttie stock seed furnished, payment to be made upon receipt of the seed and on its being ascertained that the same "is vital and fit for seed purposes."

Prompt Service to any Point in Michigan BALTIMOBE. Christmas Sales Break Record. The history of another Chistmas in the florists' business has been written, but this year it was not a case of "his- tory repeating itself, ' ' because business broke all past records. December 24, the principal day, dawned with a cold, drizzling rain, which increased as the day advanced until it became a regular downpour. At noon the writer paid a visit to all of the principal retail stores, and the experiemie was much the same as getting on the street cars during the rush home. In all of my experiences I have never seen the public so eager and determined to buy flowers — it seemed as though what they wanted was flowers and nothing else would do. Of course, it may have been the general shortage of stock which made the rush so ap- parent, yet I was assured that even if the stores had had more stock it would have been impossible to handle any more business. All blooming plants were cleaned up early in the day. Then it became a "matter of taking or re- fusing orders for cut flowers for Christ- mas delivery. Many of the stores had so many such orders on their books that the stock available and the labor at hand simply made the taking of more orders impossible. The flowers mainly depended on were roses and carnations. These two staples were not far short of normal supply. Sweet peas and violets were not so plentiful, while all miscellaneous stock.

Yet everywhere I inquired I was assured they had as much stock on hand as it was possible to handle. To my question as to what was the cause of the rush to buy flowers, the only answer I could get was that it was due to the increased demands. Never in the history of the trade in Baltimore has there been such a demand for flowers, and one of the fea- tures of this demand was the fact that the public was not so particular as usual, but was willing to take what it could get. I mean by this that where a customer had decided to purchase a blooming plant and it could not be had, he would compromise on a fern, a palm, or some other foliage plant. The same was true of cut flowers. If violets could not be had, roses or carnations had to do. Made-up baskets of foliage plants, such blooming ones in them as cyclamens and poinsettias, sold well and everyone had a good supply. I have written this far without allud- ing to prices. But why talk of prices in an article of this kind, as long before this reaches the readers of The Review they will know what they received and had to pay for stock? With roses ranging from 15 to 40 cents, and as high as 60 cents for select; Beauties from $15 to $18 per dozen; carnations $12 to $15 per hundred; poinsettias $4 to $6 per dozen, wholesale, and the commission men not able to fill all orders, it would seem as if flowers are a luxury, but they are a luxury the public will not do with- out.

This was the only store that had any blooming plants left at noon December 24, and these were being sold as fast as the salespeople could tag and send them to the shipping department. It was impossible to in- terview any of the firm, but I did man- age to get Mrs. Fannie Hill's ear for a minute. She said, "I am too busy to talk, but in all of my eipcriente I have never seen anything to equal it." Over at John Cook's store the only flowers left were five daisies, and they Jancahy 2, 1919.

Some idea of the busi- ness this firm had done could be gleaned from the great mass of plants that were ■wrapped and being delivered as fast as the trucks could be loaded. Miss Cook told me their cut flower orders broke all records. At W. J. Halliday's place they had a window of orchids, which was the main attraction on Charles street. These are brought from the Halliday range in their regular containers and cut as they are required. One good feature about this is that most of them were used on Christmas morning, so this insures an attractive window until the last min- ute.

Her store was cleaned up on plants, but the salespeo- ple still were taking orders for cut flow- ers and Mrs. Johnston was becoming alarmed for fear they would not have sufficient stock to fill them. The tele- graph orders, as usual, were heavy. Robert L. Graham 's answer to the question, "How does it compare with former years!" was "Much better." I could go on like this until I men- tioned every store in Baltimore if space would permit. One thing that struck me forcibly was the fact that those stores in the poorer sections of the city wanted nothing but the best stock and were willing to pay as high as $5 per dozen for poinsettias, the only stipula- tion being they must be fine stock.

The sympathy of everyone in the trade will go out to Fred Burger in the loss of his only son. It would be sad at any time, but coming, as it did, just before the great rush, it certainly unfitted Fred for his work. Mr. Burger was a member of the Aviation Corps and died of disease at an aviation field in Texas. His mother was with him at the end. His body was brought to Balti- more for burial. Tate. BBIDOEPOST, CONN. Christmas Business. All of the local florists report that Christmas business was better than that of any previous year, in spite of the fact that Bridgeport had a rainy Christmas eve. If the day had been pleasant, everyone probably would have been completely cleaned out. Cut flowers sold well, but people complained of the high prices, which were, in many cases, about double those asked last year. However, the retailers could not avoid this, as those who depend on the wholesalers . . .

Greens, holly, roping, wreaths, etc., sold well. Most of the stores and churches, as well as many private resi- dences, were attractively decorated and this called for large amounts of all kinds of Christmas greens. In honor of the return of a number of the soldier boys, some people decorated their homes as they have never decorated them be- fore. The city was overstocked with Christmas trees and quite a few of them are left over. A number of vacant stores were filled with Christmas trees, but, although people bought heavily, the supply was greater than the demand. The Spanish influenza has again struck Bridgeport, and although there are not as many cases as there were in the previous epidemic and fewer deaths, still it keeps the florists busy supplying the sick with flowers, while funeral work also keeps all hands rushing. It has been a problem with some to obtain enough cut flowers to fill both funeral and Christmas orders. This has been especially true of roses and violets. Various Notes. The writer wishes the local trade and the trade in general a happy and pros- perous New Year. The Park Garden and Flower Shop re- port a splendid Christmas business. They made a blanket of orchids and vio- lets recently, but had a great deal of trouble to obtain enough violets to fill the order. They had a splendid cut of carnations for Christmas, in fact, all kinds of cut flowers are more plentiful in their greenhouses than they have been for some time. Wreaths and greens went well, although the weather curtailed sales to some extent on Chris- mast eve.

Early in the week its windows were decorated with poinset- tias; later these were removed and baskets and made-up plants were sub- stituted. It was illuminated at night. This store had an excellent Christmas trade. Plants moved rapidly. Cut flowers sold well and brought doable the prices of last year. James Horan & Son say that Christ- mas business was satisfactory. They were about cleaned out. Carnations were plentiful, but roses were scarce. Trees did not go well, but this firm does not handle many of them. Funeral work keeps all hands rushing. John Reck & Son are running both of their stores and will continue to do so until the old building in which they have been located for a number of years is demolished. Then all the business will be carried on at the new stand un- til they can return to their new store, which is to be erected on the old site.

John Anty is the designer employed by Mr. Pflomm. The Christmas cut flower trade was good and more flowers could have been sold. Fred C. Kolb had a splendid crop of carnations for Christmas. Julius Reck states that trade has been exceptionally good. He disposed of many flowering plants. He had a good crop of sweet peas. I. L. B. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Once again Christmas has come and gone and, as previously predicted, the holiday season was one of the busiest ever experienced. The business this year was augmented by an enormous quantity of funeral work, partially the result of the influenza epidemic, which is still raging in this city and vicinity. More business would have been done the day before Christmas, had it not been for a rain storm which started at noon and continued throughout the day. How- ever, the greater part of the stock had already been sold. The weather, which was mild and clear, made delivery work easy, with far less work in the shipping rooms.

Brown says that orders for gladiolus bulbs and also for Calla Elliottiana have been coming rapidly. He considers trade conditions excellent. LOS ANGELES. The Market. There never was a time in the history of the business in this city when the legitimate supply and demand were so out of proportion for the Christmas holi- day as this year. Two years ago, when a "frost killed off everything locally, there was a dearth of certain kinds of local stock, but we were helped out by shipments from other markets. The in- door stock was good and the demand was not so great. This year other towns were short, likewise other sources of supply, while the demand for moderate- priced flowers and plants was never so great. The result was foretold and the prophecy was verified. Cut flowers were at a premium long before half the orders were filled and in some cases out- door carnations of inferior quality were sold as high as 10 cents each. Plants of all kinds with the exception of poin- settias and cyclamens were scarce and nothing was left even of these two. There was little of any quality left and these could probably have been sold, had not the prices been too high for late comers. The demand for greens for wreath-making, holly and Christmas stock generally was brisk throughout. Days and even weeks before the holi- day, large shipments were made and re- tailers reported big sales. Christmas trees were among the short items, and the supply of niedium-sizod tubs was exhausted' long before dosing time. A week of beautiful, crisp weather, with cold mornings and bright days, gave a Christmas feeling and opened the purses of the people, so that altogether this will go down as one of the best holi- davs ever enjoyed by the trade. In order to get these notes on time, it was impossible to visit the individual retailers after the holiday, but the appearance of the stores was sufficient index of the business done. The deliv- ery cars Christmas eve were going until long after midnight and again Christ- mas day everyone was busy until late in the day. Various Notes. Albert Beverley, of Santa Barbara, was in town late iast week and was last seen leaving Los Angeles with his car loaded to the gunwales with stock. S. Murata & Co. sold completely out of everything perishable and report the finest shipping business ever han- dled. Fred Sperry, manager of the L. A. Floral Co., is "congratulating himself on the Christmas business of his firm, as he was singularly fortunate in getting hold of a quantity of fine stock. The force was working day and night to get the shipments off and the motto of "Quality and Service" was well kept up. "W. Armac.ost & Co. had a wonderful holiday business, the quality of the roses and plants coming iu from the Sawtelle range being better than ever before. H. E. Eichards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. At this writing, Christmas eve, local wholesalers and nurserymen in this vi- cinity are in a position to state that they have had a banner holiday busi- ness, and the retailers are in the midst of a rush which promises to clean up their stocks closely. The only disap- pointing feature is that there was not enough stock to fill shipping orders in full. In this regard the situation did not turn out so badly, however, as was anticipated a week or two ago, especially where carnations and violets were con- cerned. It seems the growers were hold- ing back stock for holiday trade and brought in heavy offerings at the last minute. On cut flowers generally prices ruled higher than ever before in this market. Eoses brought double last year's holiday prices, good stock clean- ing up at the following quotations wholesale: American Beauties, $10 per dozen; Eussell, $6 per dozen; Ophelia, $4 per dozen. Some of the finest Ophelia brought $5 per dozen. Eed roses gener- ally were strong, keeping pace with Eus- sell. The quality of the stock left noth- ing to be desired, so the above prices for first-class stock mean that a high proportion of the offerings moved at those figures. While higher prices were realized for flowering plants than in former years, the advances over the prices on holi- day stock in 1917 were not so pronounced as in the case of roses and other cut flowers. There were few azaleas grown for this market this year, but other sea- sonable plants were in good supply, particularly poinsettias and cyclamens. Fancy combination plant and fern bas- kets made a fine showing and sold well. There were plenty of fine ferns for all requirements. Other greens were scarce, however, as well as California red ber- ries and Oregon holly. Eedwood gar- lands and red berries brought top-notch prices and cleaned up early. The return of a good many florists from army service in time to help with the holiday rush, helped out to a con- siderable extent. Various Notes. Pelicano, Eossi & Co. secured the store adjoining their place in Kearny street for displaying their large stock of flowering plants. There they showed a fine assortment of poinsettias, cycla- mens, begonias, heather and other ASPARAGUS, SPRENGERI, SMILAX Place lyour orders where you are sure of a never-failing supply.

BROWN BILB RAMCII, "'SSSf^ Mention The Review when yon write. Christmas plants. Christmas eve there was every indication of a close clean-up. The MacEorie-McLaren Co. did a rushing business in flowering plants, both wholesale and retail, the nursery being sold out several days before Christmas on everything except stock reserved for the retail trade of this firm. Mr. Stelling, manager of the store, said December 23 and 24 were banner days in the sale of cut flowers as well as plants, notwithstanding the high prices of the former. The Western Evergreen Co. reports the heaviest holiday business it ever had, the only difficulty being to get stock to fill orders. J. A. Axell, manager for the E. W. McLellan Co., is wearing the smile that will not come off, as a result of the best Christmas business in the history of his firm. This concern had a big cut of roses, but not enough to fill the demand, so the entire stock cleaned up early at comparatively high prices. C. Kooyman is well satisfied with holiday trade. He reports there was no effort in disposing of all the flowers he could get. The force of the United Flower & Supply Co. had hands full caring for the holiday trade and had to disappoint some of its customers on account of in- ability to get stock to fill orders. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., was swamped with violet orders, but suc- ceeded in getting enough stock to do a banner shipping business on this flower. He also had a fine cut of roses, which proved a profitable source of supply for holiday trade. S. MURATA & CO. Oldest and Most Experienced Sliippers in Soutliern California 380-386 So.

Joseph made a specialty of fancy basket arrangements and ready customers were at hand to take all he had to offer. The Art Floral Co. put on several ex- tra salesmen for the holiday rush, but, even so, the force had all it could do to handle the customers December 23 and 24. "Rushed to death," was the greeting received at Albert O. Stein's place, in Sutter street, December 23. He made a special feature of fruit baskets, which proved popular among discriminating customers. On account of the scarcity ICAN IVY MEXICAN IVY New Crop Now Ready HUIMBOLDT EVERGREEN CO.

A large Christmas tree, laden with ornaments and presents gave the 72 The Florists^ Review January 2, 1919. store a Christmas atmosphere. It may be mentioned that this establishment has the largest frontage of any florists' shop in San Francisco and full advan- tage is taken of the wide expanse of plate glass for effective display work. Steve D. Fazio, a partner in the Cali- fornia Floral Co., California, near Hyde street, is back on duty after spending several months in a training camp. He has his discharge from the army and was pleased to help out with the holiday rush in business. Mr. Francis, of the Francis Floral Co., has no complaints to make about holiday business, except that he was unable to supply the demand for his new line of pottery specially treated to harmonize with the principal Christmas flowers and plants, thus doing away with the necessity for using crepe pa- per and mats. Next year, by preparing further ahead, he hopes to be able to meet requirements more fully. Mrs. E. E. Darbee succeeded in filling practically all her holiday orders for violets, which was a great satisfaction to her, as it was extremely hard to do and was only made possible at the last minute by the arrival of a supply of the flowers from another grower. She holds the unusually cold weather largely re- sponsible for the backwardness of the violets this winter, and the scarcity is accentuated by lack of help to pick them, owing to many of the gardeners and their families being down with in- fluenza. Frank Smith, a florist of Modesto, Cal., was a recent visitor. Miss Eecardie Lee Murray made pre- parations for an unusually heavy holi- day trade and she did not miss the mark. Her stands at the Whitcomb and Clift hotels were rushed and so was her store in Geary street near Larkin, M. M. BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. Christmas is over. The volume of busi- ness done was great in all the stores. However, it was not nearly what it would have reached if the weather had been favorable. December 24 it rained all day and December 25 it rained up to 3 p. m. The early shopping helpod a great deal. A large part of the orders received were in before December 24. Plants had been selected and cut flowers booked. There is no doubt that most shops would have been unable to sup- ply the great demand had the weather favored us, but as it was everything went along smoothly and stock in most cases sufficed. The only thing left was white carnations. Of course the supply of plants was adequate, with the excep- tion of cherries, poinsettias and be- gonias, and there was no fear of run- ning short no matter what the demand would have been. Stock that really sold well was in plants priced below $5, These were within reach of the working classes and sold more easily than cut flowers. Some of the shipments of cut flowers showed the effects of the practice of some growers of holding stock back for the holiday. Some of the roses from nearby points, as soon as exposed to air and light, opened up with a sickly blue color instead of a vigorous pink or red. Also a few shipments of carnations showed plainly that they had been in some dark cellar. The cut flower mar- CALIFORNIA VIOLETS Good Stock in Quantity ENOMOTO & CO., Inc.

Christmas, 1918, will be written into the history of the florists' business of Providence as one of the biggest holiday seasons ever experienced. Potted plants and cut flowers of all kinds were scarce; greens of all kinds were limited and prices were correspondingly high, but this made no difference. People wanted flowers and plants and had the money to pay for them and as long as the sup- ply lasted they bought regardless. And cineraria, Dreer's Exhibition, 2-lnch, 2c.

More artificial goods were disposed of than have been sold in several previous seasons combined. Evidences of the shortage of Christ- mas stock became apparent more than a fortnight before the holiday and there was a general scurrying around on the part of the wise ones to fortify them- selves against the onslaught that was to come. But there was no reserve to draw from and many of the florists closed their books against orders sev- eral days before the yuletide and only the most tempting offers were potent to secure coveted plants and blooms dur- ing the final hours.

Carnations were quoted at $15 to $2;") per hundred wholesale; roses $18 to $50 and lilies $20 to $35, while ])()in- settias were $35 to $75. Aside from these, there was nothing in the market and nothing asked for. But no matter what the price, everything sold. Various Notes.

Heretofore selling fruit stock has been the retail nursery salesman's day- time job. Ornamentals provided him with after-sujjper work. Judging from reports as to the supply of fruit stock, the salesmen now will have to reverse the usual order of things. "Our fall business this year has been better than ever before," says O. A. D. Baldwin, small fruit specialist, of Bridg- man, Mich. "We have cleaned up our suri)lus in good shape and look for a large retail business in the spring," he adds. Mr. Baldwin is introducing this year a new red raspberry, which he calls the Victory. ORNAMENTALS MOVE FAST Business Good in Mississippi. ' ' While somehow we have been grow- ing and selling normal quantities of va- rious kinds of stock, as compared with prewar times, our offerings of roses this season will be twenty-five per cent less than a year ago," says S. W. Crowell, general manager of the United States Nursery Co., Eoseacres, Miss., in dis- cussing the year's business. "There is an apparent shortage. of the better va- rieties of roses and our supply is lim- ited, with the exception of the Wich- uraiana type, and we do not expect these to last through the season. Shrubs have sold well, especially the good com- mercial sorts. There has been an excel- lent demand for peonies, especially the cheaper named varieties, and phloxes and Japanese irises have sold readily. There is a strong demand for cannas, with a considerable shortage in supply. "Orders booked to December 15 were normal, with a continual increase. We have not pushed sales, feeling that the limited supplies would be taken by the end of the season. This may not be the proper method to pursue, but we wanted our customers to feel that there is a shortage of stock and that there would be no bargain prices this season. Prices Are Higher.

The help question will be the most serious one, perhaps, though this may be better than we think by the time the season opens. We do not think, however, that the price of help and the cost of handling our goods in general will be materially less and, considering th3 lively demand as reported in other sections, the nurserymen should be wise enough now to ask a good price for their goods, a price that will enable them to give good service and good stock to our customers. That is what we are striv- ing for, even at the expense of the volume of our output." THE FRUIT TREE SITUATION. "Fall sales have been satisfactory as a whole and orders are coming along even at this late date," says W. C. Reed, proprietor of the Vincennes Nurs- eries, Vincenncs, Ind. "We are still shipping. The demand for cherry and peach has been heavy and we have turned down more orders for the latter than we have filled, especially in light grades. We still have, however, a fair assortment of first-grade stock, and extra-heavy 11/16-inch stock and up. Out of a planting of 450,000 stocks of No. 1 Montinorency and Richmond, there are only a limited number left. Year-old cherry has been in fair de- mand. The 1 -year-old stock we have not been digging, preferring to hold it for another season. "Apple trees have been in good de- mand and our sales at retail show a marked increase over a year ago. Spring deliveries will take about all the apple trees in the leading commercial sorts there are. Japanese plums are entirely out of the market; also American, with only a moderate supply of European stock for spring. Kioffer pears are scarce and other varieties only in mod- erate sujiply, with a fair demand. "From present indications we think there will be the greatest shortage of fruit trees we have seen in many years before the spring season is over. "Ornamentals are in good demand and sales are steadily increasing. "Prices are likely to remain firm for the next year or two and on some items will advance. It will pay nursery- men to care well for their stock and produce the best, instead of trying to increase plantings. Give good quality and ask good ^jrices." SMALL FRUITS SCARCE. * ' Our business up to this time has been satisfactory; our wholesale business has been good, and we have found a lively demand for fruit trees of all kinds, with the exception, possibly, of standard pear and cherry; everything else is moving well," says Roy M. Spcrry, secretary of the Greening Nursery Co., Monroe, Mich. "There is a great scarcity of small fruits of all kinds, they being almost inipossil)le to secure at any price. We have found our retail business about oil a par with last year, but business for spring delivery so far is better than last year. We should say that should the epidemic of influenza abate so that agents may be able to get in a normal amount of work, the prospects for spring business are good." Butler, Tenn. — R. li.

Christmas is over once more, and it has been a great relief to the growers to have come through the busy season with the finest weather conditions that have been known for years. During the entire week preceding Christmas the thermometer hardly went below the freezing point and little extra wrapping was necessary. Shipments went out in the pink of condition and received ex- ceptionally good treatment at the hands of the express companies. Prices were higher than ever have been known, but there does not seem to be any difficulty on the part of the retailers in disposing of stock. There were some fine Hoosier Beauty roses, which brought 60 cents each, but Co- lumbia, Ophelia and the other varieties were wholesaled at $30 per hundred. Instances were known where Paper Whites were charged wholesale at $6 per hundred, and were retailed at $2.40 per dozen, but we trust that cases such as these were the exception rather than the rule. Soleil d 'Or brought $8 per hundred by reason of the scarcity of all bulbous stock, but the good quality warranted the price on this particular occasion. Generally speaking, it is felt that the high-water mark has been reached in the matter of prices this Christmas. Various Notes. Apart from the hurry and bustle of business, the week has been rather a sad one. E. H. Dale, the only son of the late Henry Dale, founder of the greenhouses here, was a victim of in- fluenza, followed by pneumonia, pass- ing away December 22. "Ted," as he was familiarly known to all, was in his thirty-fourth year, but had never been actively engaged in the business of the Dale estate. His sister, Fanny, who was married to W. A. Beatty, of the shipping-room staff, also passed away, December 24, after an attack of pneumonia. W. G. P. Battle Creek, Mich.— T. H. Fuller has found business exceptionally brisk this season and has sold out his own crop of gladiolus bulbs. He has taken over the stock of Earl Edgerton, of Lansing, Mich., consisting of about five acr' s of bulbs, and hopes, "with the as*- ..-..u.ce of The Review, to be able to di^oode of this stock before planting time. " • ' The large orders this year," says Mr. Puller, "certainly are not due to a shortage in the bulb crop, nor the higher prices, but are due to the fact that the florists realize the merits of the gladiolus as a cut flower and many seem to be growing this flower this year in their cool houses.

GreenhODse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best tor the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. THE COAL SUPPLY. Present and Future. _ The United States Fuel Administra- tion has announced that it will re- linquish its control of the fuel situa- tion at the beginning of the new coal year, which is April 1, and possibly be- fore that date. However, there will be no change in the maximum prices of coal until April 1, nor will the zone system be abolished. There has been much speculation in the trade as to what effect the retire- ment of the Fuel Administration will have on the prices and supply of coal for the growers. Some growers, a ma- i'ority of them, in fact, undoubtedly be- ieve that prices will come down at once and that something near the con- ditions of three years ago will prevail — that the days of Pocahontas at around $1.25 per ton at the mine will return. A man who is in close touch with the coal trade, mine operators and jobbers, is the authority for the following asser- tions: The price of coal will not be reduced, at least for several years. There will be little if any Pocahon- tas coal in the Chicago or other mar- kets outside of the immediate vicinity of the mines. What there is will com- mand prices that will be several times the old price. Here Are the Reasons. In support of these assertions, this coal authority sums up the situation as follows: The United States Fuel Administra- tion never has fixed a minimum price; its prices were maximum. There was nothing about government control that stopped the coal dealers from charging less than the fixed prices. Consequent- ly, the retirement of the Fuel Adminis- tration will merely remove the restric- tions as to how much the mine operator can charge for his product. Eighty per cent of the cost of coal at the mine mouth is the labor cost. Coal miners never before have been paid such wages as during the last two years. The amounts they have received for the miners' week, which ordinarily is five days of six hours each, are so large that to name them would create a doubt as to the truth of the statement, but it is suflBcient to say that the pay per ton is high enough to lure such men as division superintendents of railroads at $200 per month into the mines as common miners. Three 6-hour days a week fill the miners' pay envelopes full enough so that there is no in- centive to work longer unless there is a shortage of coal. Under these con- ditions it is apparent that the supply will be large enough for the demand, and no larger.

Kroeschell Tubeless Boilers It will pay you to consider the advantages of KROESCHELL BOILERS for Hot Water or Steam, no matter how large or small the size of your establishment. The superiority of our boilers has resulted in the removal and abolishment of hundreds of cast iron sectional, boilers— in every instance KROESCHELL BOILERS give more heat with the same piping with less fuel. KROESCHELL BOILERS have no bulky, soot accumulating surfaces— you avoid the disagreeable work and trouble indis- pensable to cleaning boilers with complicated and tortuous back and forth fire passages. NOT CAST IRON NOT CAST IRON The high safety factor of KROESCHELL BOILERS eliminates the danger of cracking and break-down risks. Successful greenhouse owners everywhere insist upon KROE- SCHELL BOILERS because they are dependable and economical —you get better and longer service— you can reduce your heat- ing costs by burning the cheapest grades of soft coal. It is a sign of scientific management to own a KROESCHELL —a business management that insures a responsive, efficient and profitable heating system. The supremacy of KROESCHELL BOILERS is proven by their country-wide adoption. Our Water Tube Steam Boiler MAKE SURE YOU GET A KROESCHELL KROESCHELL BROS.

And on top of this, it is said, the miners will ask for an increase as soon as the present contract expires, which is on the day that the peace treaty is signed. No Pocahontas Available. The abolition of the zone system established by the Fuel Administration, which does not allow coal from one sec- tion to be shipped to another in order to save overburdening the railroads and other transportation systems, will not have the effect of getting Pocahontas, or smokeless coal, into the markets where it was formerly sold, because it is an ideal export, or bunker coal.

The only satisfying thing about the situation seems to be that there will be no trouble to get a supply of the coal that the trade has been using dur- ing the last year or more. It will come high, but we have to have it. * * Tell your florist friends that if they are wise they will connect up with a coal producer and contract for their supplies," this coal man told The Ee- view. "Then," he added, "they will be assured of their supply, and there will not be the chance to 'pass the buck' for failure to deliver, as there is when coal is bought of a jobber, when the demand is great and prices are high. ' ' HOW TO REMOVE SOOT. The United States Fuel Administra- tion, through Harold Almert, director of conservation, has issued the follow- ing advice to the owners of hot-air, hot-water and steam plants on how to remove soot and tar from the heating surfaces, smoke-pipes and chimneys: "Get the fire into good condition, so that the fuel bed is bright or incan- descent, and on the hottest part of the fire spread several handfuls of salt; then close the door and open the drafts. Common salt, either of the table variety or fine grain rock salt, such as is used in making ice cream, has been found effective. "When the salt is applied the heat- ing plant immediately will become filled with dense white fumes, which will pen- etrate to every part of the furnace, smoke flues and chimney and in less than an hour the effects of the salt will disappear. Then brighten up the fire again and repeat the operation two or more times until all heating sur- faces have been entirely cleaned. "Later, one application of the salt treatment once or twice a week will keep the heating surfaces in a clean and efficient condition. The chemical action will not attack iron or be in any way detrimental to the heating plant." ASK ME! ASEMEM S. C. H., N. Y.— Watch the "Season- able Suggestions" for culture of poin- settias. H. E.

I have planted many hundreds of thousands of cyclamen seeds and sold plants in every state in the union and this is a subject on which I will try to interest you more than ever for several reasons; you will see this season again that every avail- able plant that is salable will be disposed of and you could have sold more; again, owing to cer- tain laws that are about to be put in operation (if I am Informed correctly) will prohibit Im- portation of azaleas, thus we will have to de- pend on domestic grown stock, and what Is bet- ter adapted for Christmas sales than cyclamen? If you have not seeded cyclamen for next sea- son for your Xmas needs, then it would be wise for you to buy transplanted seedlings if you want to prow them yourself, or three or four-inch stock for May, June or July delivery. In either case it will be wise for you to place your order at once, for I am certain the same condition will prevail as Inst season, when we turned down or- ders for thousands and thousands of plants. Seed sown now will make pood plants for later sales. Seed advertised in classified section for seeds. Can offer you the cream of several hundred thousand seedlings for delivery as you desire as follows: Seedlinps. transplanted, separate colors, irrown from the verv best of seed obtainable, $8.00 per 100. $7.'i.00 per 1000. Seedlinps, transplanted, separate colors, prown from a very pood commercial strain, but not as good as above, $6.00 per 100, $55.00 per 1000. Cash. Money returned If sold out.

H. H. M.— Mo. The plant came to hand dried up and frozen, but it undoubtedly is a stock, , though not the ten weeks' stocks type. Possibly there may be a fifty weeks' type that I have not heard of. I ; am afraid that you have been sold seed which was not the ten weeks' variety : at all. The plant in its habit resembles a variety which was widely grown in my younger days, named East Lothian. We may expect many disappointments in both flower and vegetable seeds as a result of the war. The seed industry in Europe has been dependent on the labor of women, girls, boys and old men for several years, and years must elapse before conditions become normal again. 0. W. PROPAOATINO MUMS NOW. I grew mums in a cool house this sea- son. Now the benches are full of nice cuttings, just right for rooting. Could they be cut now and grown for next season! If so, how should they be handled? L. N. B.— O. While the cuttings that have appeared on old stock could be removed and planted for blooming next autumn, still if planted now they will grow too tall. I would suggest that L. N. B. take the cuttings off now and plant them for stock plants; that is, plant these cut- tings now and allow them to grow along for a month or two and then take the cuttings that appear on them. Plant these in a bench after they are rooted and they will bloom satisfactorily next fall. In this way he will have better results than if he uses the cuttings now appearing for flowering plants for next autumn's crop. C. H. T. PANSY FERTILIZES. What would be the best fertilizer to apply as a top-dressing to my pansies as soon as the mulch is off in the'springt The bottom leaves have turned yellow, as though they needed fertilizer. I did not use as much stable manure as usual this season. C. A. P. — Me. The safest and best fertilizer to apply to your pansies in the spring would be well rotted manure which has been kept under cover, dried somewhat and passed through a 1-inch screen. If this is not obtainable, procure some pulverized sheep manure and broadcast it, later working it in among the plants. I would prefer not to use bone or any chemical fertilizers for the plants. C.

After all's said and done, that's what you're working foi — isn't it? And anything that will positively and permanently add to your profit is worthy of your most serious attention, isn't it? Well then — What about adding to your range of greenhoutes? It is your primary source of profit — or it should be. If you are running your business in a business-like way — and we assume you are or you wouldn't be reading this paper — you are undoubtedly getting all the profit you can out of your present range. So — the only way to increate your profit is to increase your range. And the only way to increase your range profitably is to build the best houses, for in them you can grow the best stock at the least expense. That is, no money wasted on unnecessary labor — no money wasted on "patching up" poor houses. AGMCO houses have proved the BEST for an army of satisfied and successful growers — they'll prove the best foi- YOU, too. if you'll give them a chance. — don't YOU want to know WHY? fan m wamKm mm /m New York (50 Broad St.) Sales Offices: Pana, III.

Gude Brothers say it would be cheap at three times the cost— WHY ? Because Permanite makes your greenhouses absolutely air- tight, cuts down your coal bill. Permanite is ELASTIC; it responds to the vibration of the Greenhouse — it NEVER HARDENS ! You save money on cracked and broken glass.

Many designs with a few flowers tastefully arranged with a large bow of inexpensive ribbon will give greater satisfaction than when many expensive flowers are used in the design. Progressive Florists realize that in these days of heavy retail overhead something mast be done to counterbalance the high cost of flowers. A large, attractive ribbon bow can be made up by you in a medium grade of ribboni at a cost not exceeding 75 cents. ;SWidth of the ribbon, 5 inches.

Who knows f '^;:^-^s HE florists' business is passing through what might be called a period of automatic reconstruc- tion, and it will, as a re- sult, emerge as a real busi- ness, conducted on real business principles. The ideas of yesteryear have gone into the discard and the trade is awake to the fact that its methods are in need of radical revision, riorists in general have become greatly interested in finding out the cost of production, a phase of the business heretofore overlooked almost entirely. Gone forever, let us hope, are the days when flowers were peddled on the street. Especially do we hope we have seen the last of the faker who, on a Saturday night, shouts, "Eoses 10 cents a bunch;" of the department store which advertises Boston ferns at 29 cents each, and the peddlers ' wagons loaded with spring bed- ding plants, all of which have been fac- tors in holding our business on a much lower plane than it should be. The public not unnaturally has taken the hawkers ' prices as a basis aiid, when asked $2 or $3 per dozen for roses, 25 cents per bud and bloom for Easter lilies, $1 for a Boston fern at alegitimate flower store, had the impres- sion of being "robbed in broad daylight." War Changed Things. Conditions brought about by the war will have had the effect of putting the business on its proper plane, and in many ways it will work out for the benefit of everyone in the trade. Having no lilies this Easter will bring its re- ward, insofar as it will give the public the sen- sation of not having lilies aplenty, and peo- ple will be made to realize how necessary an Easter lily is. The embargo on Eu- ropean plants, which goes into effect June 1, while on the face of it unwarranted and un- BY ROBERT S. EDGAR. necessary, will work itself out satisfac- torily if we have patience. It means that all varieties of stock formerly imported from Europe will be grown in this country and sold at in- creased prices and, while such plants will not be handled in such large quanti- ties as before, the net profit per plant will be larger. The increased selling price will take care of the increased cost. Figure It Out. Azaleas we shall have to do without, as there is only one place on this earth where they can be readily grown, and that is Belgium. The condition of plants received from California is conclusive evidence that we have not learned to grow them here. We used to import Ardisia crenulata BUT WE HAVEN'T CAUGHT THE SQUIRREL A Cartoonist's Idea of the Cost of Doing Business. from'^Belgium in the spring, at 50 cents the^her side, grow them till Christmas anti sell them for $2. That 50-cent plant wiuld cost $1.50 to grow here for three years, but if it is sold for $4 at Christ- mas there is an increase of $1 in the gross profit as compared to that on the imported plant. The increased cost of production will be taken care of, pro- vided that florists are awake to the sup- ply and demand. There are many beautiful plants that we can grow ourselves which have al- ways been considered cheap and common because they were sidetracked by im- ported goods. While the demand for flowers and plants keeps steadily increasing, it is doubtful if there will be any material increase in production with the cost of greenhouse material where it is at pres- ent. Glass, for instance, is $8 per box, that years ago cost $2.12, and less than that at times. The re- cent autumn and Christmas have proved that flower lovers will pay a reasonable in- crease in price for our product, and it behooves florists to get together and consider supply and demand, thereby standardizing the busi- ness and regulating prices. A "Soviet" Plan! It is reasonable and feasible for florists to control every line of the business to avoid gluts, and a plan could be worked out by hav- ing a board of trade in various sections of the •country, and it might be to considerable ad- vantage to have such boards affiliated with the S. A. F. in such a way as to get the co- operation of all the local boards. For example, let us take New England as a district, with the con- trolling board located in Boston. Every grow- er in that district should be asked to list the quantity and varie- ties of plants he has benched, or, with pot plants, that have re- ceived the final potting. The quantities sub- 10 The Florists^ Review January 9, 1919. mitted could be tabulated by the secre- tary of the board and a list could be sent to each grower, giving the total number being grown in that district. Anyone could ascertain at a glance how many roses, carnations, mums, begonias, ferns, cyclamens and all other varieties were being grown in that district. To illustrate, we will take roses: Sup- pose everyone growing roses in New England submits his list of varieties and quantities to the Board of Trade. The secretary tabulates them and the total shows that there are 300,000 Ward, 500,000 Ophelia, 100,000 Eichmond and 100,000 Hadley planted in the district. At the end of the season, at a meeting of the board and by information gained by keeping tab on the market prices, we find that Ward was in oversupply, Ophelia was equal to the demand and Richmond and Hadley were not equal to the demand. With these facts and figures at hand, the board could approxi- mate the percentage of each discrep- ancy and suggest that each grower cut down on Ward twenty per cent, grow the same amount of Ophelia and in- crease on Richmond and Hadley twenty per cent, or whatever conditions war- ranted for the coming season. The busi- ness has become large enough so that the demand is regular and it is up to the growers to steady the supply. Applied to Pot Plants. Let us take a look at the pot plant end of the game. Cut flowers have a more regular price than plants, on ac- count of being sold in the open market. Growers are at variance with one another in selling pot plants; one does not know what the other is charging for a certain size, for growers seem to like to keep their prices a trade secret. We will consider the cyclamen. Sup- pose the growers of cyclamens report the quantity they have on hand October 1, as at that time they can judge pretty well how many of each size they will have salable for the holidays. We will say that in this district there are 200,- 000 plants grown this year. The prices run: 3-inch, 50 cents; 4-inch, 75 cents; 5-inch, $1 and $1.50; 6-inch, $1.50 and $2, and so on, of course using a good plant correctly potted for a standard in each size. The variance would be settled between the grower and retailer. If it should so turn out, the report at the end of the season, sent to each grower, would be that plants in small sizes were scarce, medium sizes were equal to the demand and large sizes were in oversup- ply. The percentage would be approxi- mated in the same way as in the case of roses, the secretary sending out the finding of the board to the effect that for the following year it advises increas- ing 3-inch, 4-inch and 5-inch sizes twen- ty per cent, growing the same quantity of 5-inch and 6-inch and cutting down twenty per cent on the larger sizes. The board, with the results of the previous year before it, could ascertain the selling price of such a crop by get- ting a survey of the quantity and, after the mite had got through its season, could issue a statement that the supply in sight is less than the previous year and suggestions could be made as to the advisability of increasing the price twenty per cent or thirty per cent, or whatever conditions warranted. Other varieties could be handled in the same way, to the advantage of the ■wholesaler and retailer, insofar as that it wquld steady the supply of each com- modity. Consider the Mums. Such a condition of affairs would have the benefit of this psychological feature of the business in that the more people pay for plants and flowers, up to a cer- tain point, the more plants and flowers are appreciated. The grower, no doubt, thinks that mums at $3 per dozen, whole- sale, are much more beautiful than when they are bringing $1.50 per dozen. One bad feature of the greenhouse business is described as follows: This year mums sold well; no serious gluts. The result can be expected to be that next year florists will increase the mum crops fifty per cent or more. Then will come the usual slump and the gluts, which are bad for retailers as well as wholesalers. When the midseason va- rieties are coming, in they retail at $3 per dozen, but they are likely to be $6 the following week and the public no doubt wonders what excuse there can The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his ideas on any subject treated in As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fiMtest by an exchange of experiences. Many valuable points are brought out by discussion. Good penmanship, spelling and Krammar, though desirable, are not necessary. Wri te as you would tai k when doing your best. WE SHALL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU be for it. But, getting back to the grow- er who increased fifty per cent: He does not realize so much ais he figured on, the mum growers have an im- promptu meeting and curse the business and their luck. They cut down their supply the next year. Consequently the market is good again and the growers once more curse their luck and the busi- ness. But they individually decide to increase their planting next year, with the result that the disappointments never cease. Such conditions always have been akin to the business and it readily can be seen what advantage a controlling board would be, eliminat- ing these conditions. A Leaf From Swift's Book. Take a look at all the large indus- tries of the country. As an example take the packing business. One of the world's largest packing concerns has been advertising quite extensively facts about its' business, telling the public how many cattle there are in this coun- try, how a reduced supply and increased demand is the cause of the high price of meat, how many animals it handled last year, the cost in detail of killing, dressing, freezing and, in fact, every item connected with marketing its prod- uct. Of course there is a wide differ- ence in cattle and flowers, although one of the foremost rose growers in this country once said that a rose and the rear end of a cow were closely related, but both commodities are perishable and each is a necessity up to a certain , point. These big firms know the cost of production, give little credit and have systematized their business to a high degree of efficiency. When florists know the cost of production and have more strict business methods they will make more headway and be more suc- cessful than ever before. When we talk about luxuries and necessities, the American Indian showed us what real necessities are: Something to eat and drink, a place to sleep and plenty of fresh air. But as civilization has advanced society demands more and many former luxuries are looked upon as necessities. Meat at 80 cents per pound is a necessity; if it was $5 per pound it would be a luxury. It is the same with flowers and every other com- modity; they are necessities at times and luxuries at others. It is up to the florists to devise a general plan to stif- fen up the backbone of the business and then it will grow out of the infancy the sages have been talking about for the last twenty years. Retailers Would Benefit. By such a plan as set forth retailers would benefit as well as growers, as there is more profit in selling carnations that cost 6 cents at $1.50 per dozen than in paying 3 cents and getting 75 cents. Haphazard greenhouse building might be discouraged,^ for if, in the opinion of the Board of Trade, it was inadvis- able to increase glass area, the growers should take heed and devote their sur- plus cash to getting what glass they have in good repair, working at full capacity and efficiency. It might be well to impress the fact on floriijts' minds that if they cannot make a profit on iJO,000 feet of glass their chances are no better with double the amount. The foregoing is submitted to the trade for what it is worth and in the hope that it may start something worth while. Robert S. Edgar. VEGETABLE PRICES. Growers of greenhouse vegetables are getting excellent prices for their crops this season. Prices in the Chicago mar- ket January 7 on the three principal greenhouse crops were as follows: Cucumbers, box of two dozen $3.50(a)$5.00 Lettuce, leaf, per box 45® .50 Radishes, doz. bunches 75® .85 Only outdoor crops of the other vege- tables had made their appearance at Chi- cago on that date. The report for the New York market on greenhouse vegetables January 4 was as follows: Cucumbers, per dozen @ .... Lettuce, eastern, per strap ® .... Mushrooms— White, 3-lb basket $1.40@$1.75 Brown, per 3-lb. basket 1.25@ 1.60 Buttons, per 3-lb. basket 1.00@ 1.25 Opens, per 3-lb. basket @ .75 Radishes, per 100 bunches 3.00® 5.00 Tomatoes— Pair to fancy, per lb 20® .80 No. 2, per lb 12® .15 No cucumbers or lettuce arriving. Mushrooms in larger supply today, but much of the stock coming in late and with demand less active, market is de- cidedly lower. Radishes in light supply, but tone easier. Tomatoes steady.

It is an unwise florist who assumes he role of prophet. There probably s no business which fluctuates to the ame extent that the flower business loes. Therefore I have hesitated to )rognosticate up to now.

PRIMULA POISONING. We have had so many good things Tom The Eeview that we will give one n return by way of a cure for poisoning Tom Primula obconica. It is a sure iure, too.

Referring to a paragraph in the letter )f your correspondent for the cities of Davenport, Rock Island and Moline re- ative to the use of potted plants in- ;tead of cut flowers to the extent that I hospital patient received seventy-five 3lants for Christmas and no cut flowers, he reason for this was simply that cut lowers were so scarce that the retailers vere all pushing plants whenever pos- lible in order to conserve the cut flow- ers for funeral work. There were eTen nstances where plants were used for 'uneral work, something which we have lot heard of being done here before. [t is preposterous to say that out of leventy-five people sending remem- jrances to the same patient, there would lot be one who would send cut flowers f they had been obtainable, even hough the prices were high. Potted slants were by no means cheap. As to our Christmas business, we will lay that by the evening of December J4 we were entirely sold out. Had the iveather been favorable December 24 md 25, the shortage of cut flowers would lave been decidedly more apparent, ind there would have been no complaint ibout high prices. L. Stapp. ALL SHARE THE VICTORY. The biggest business we have ever lad! So it goes, down the line. Every- fv'here we hear the same exclamation. Fhe buying public has felt the spirit jf the times and, elated by prosperity ind the winning of the war, would let lothing stand in the way of its having whatever it desired. Among its wants, flowers played a part, if we may judge ^y the empty greenhouses and the de- nand for flowers this Christmas. It ?eemed as if the people had not had my plants and flowers for years, the ivay they bought them at prices far ibove anything in the history of the trade, at least during my time and that covers twenty-nine years. Everybody, grower, wholesaler and retailer, shared in the biggest flower- Christmas we have ever seen. Now, of cou,r|3e, the publicity cam- paign is not going to claim credit for this wonderful demand, but may we not claim that since the publicity campaign started, it has had the effect of making retailers spruce up more than ever with retail store advertising in all its phases? And this in turn caused the retailers to keep their stocks up to a higher standard than ever before, in order to live up to the claims of their advertis- ing. So, while the wheels began to move slowly at first under our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," they were mov- ing rapidly before the year ended. Do you not think the campaign put pep into some men who were aware that a little money properly spent in national publicity would be the begin- ning of big things for the florists gen- erally, if the work be continued? And continued it will be, for now that we have felt its punch, nothing can stop it until we ourselves say, "Enough." But that time will never come. No less a personage than our friend Thomas Roland said to me today that he credited the florists' publicity cam- paign with having a great deal to <}o with making the year 1918 the flower- year it has been, in spite of all we have gone through. And now that we ac- knowledge with him the fact that the national publicity did help, may we not at the same tinje expect that the leading flower men will dig down this year of 1919 for the annual appropria- tion for this publicity campaign with such vigor ^s^to cause those who hither- to have not contributed also to come forward? Thus we may make stiU greater progress possible for all con- nected with the craft. Henry Penn, Chairman, National Publicity Campaign. THE RETAIL FLORIST ir/s<(ir/»(ihrsvir7Svir7Sxirirsvirirsvir;rs\ir/s\ir;rsvir)«virrs\ir^ SCHLING'S TRANSFER ORDERS. Following his policy of making the trade acquainted with the number of orders his store transfers to florists in other cities, so as to boost the F. T. D., Max Schling, New York city, has given out the figures on this business for the months of November and December. Mr. Schling already had made known the number of orders of this kind sent dur- ing October. The figures are as fol- lows: Month. Orders Amount October 148 $1,179.00 November 163 1.405.59 December 667 5,482.50 It will be noted especially that the statements are only of- the orders sent, no mention being made of those re- ceived. While from these figures it will be seen that transfer-of-orders business at the Schling store was large during the holidays, it also will be noticed that November showed a healthy increase over October. Mr, Schling is a consistent advertiser and is doing an excellent work in show- ing the retail florists of the country what can be accomplished by persist- ently familiarizing the public with the workings of the transfer system. The figures show that he is reaping the reward for his efforts. it is compensated in the same measure as other professions, and, while perhaps a lot of us do some tall kicking at the high prices, I want to say that they are not at all out of proportion with other industries, when you think our production has been cut down fifty per cent by the fuel shortage and various other troubles that have come up dur- ing the last few years. We all have suffered, but not to a greater extent than some other people. Let us be fair and liberal." POCHELON ON PRICES. In a circular to members of the Tele- graph Delivery Association, Secretary Pochelon recently said in part: ' ' Our profession has had a strenu- ous time for the last few years; let us all be thankful that we are almost over it. The future can bring noth- ing but the greatest benefit and never was there a better chance to elevate our profession in the eyes of the public. Our work is coming to the front, where WHEN PLUMOSUS BROWNS. In one section of my greenhouses I am having some trouble with my As- paragus plumosus nanus, the cause of which baffles me. The young growth comes up and does nicely till just before or about the time it fully matures, when the tips of the fronds turn brown. I shall be greatly obliged to you if you can obtain any information for me as to its cause and the remedy. Am send- ing you a dozen sprays for inspection. T. P. D.— Fla. The specimens mentioned appeared to be perfectly healthy, except that many of the tips of the branches on the as- paragus were browned and dead. The first thought would b'e that these plants had been allowed to get dry at the root while the growth was young and soft, but there are other possibilities for such an injury, and among them are certain fertilizing materials. Applica- tions of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia in excessive quantities may have caused such an injury to the gn"owth, but if none of these conditions have prevailed, then we are at a loss to know the cause of the trouble, with- out further information as to soil and treatment.

Most of the growers have sold cin- erarias for Christmas, but this plant is not seen at its best until later in the winter, the finest specimens usually ap- pearing at the large spring exhibitions, which, due to various causes, will not be held the coming season. If you want good cinerarias, it is necessary to grow them cool. They must never be forced, or they will soon present a drawn ap- pearance and, furthermore, will be an easier prey to green aphis. If you can grow your plants in a night temperature of 40 to 45 degrees, better the lower than the higher figure, you will have heavy, leathery leaves, which should al- most hide the pots, provided you ele- vate some of the larger plants and give each the necessary room. Scarlet was formerly unknown as a color among cin- erarias, but for a couple of years now we have grown a large-flowered scarlet variety, originated, I think, with Sut- ton & Sons, in England, which makes a splendid holiday plant and its color is 80 striking as at once to attract atten- tion. Feed the plants liberally until the flowers are expanding. Cinerarias are strong feeders and are greatly bene- fited by judicious stimulants, among which liquid cow or sheep manure is hard to beat. PROPAGATION. Keep the cutting bench filled. Plants of all kinds root better now than at any other season of the year, as the sand has a nice, steady heat and there are no extremes in atmospheric read- ings. Such plants as coleus, verbenas, heliotropes, fuchsias, ageratums, etc., propagate with a trifling loss at this season and big stocks of all these will be needed for the bedding out season in 1919. Small growers should root all they possibly can at home. Stock prop- agated at home is bound to give great- er satisfaction than when purchased hundreds, or maybe thousands, of miles away. Parcel post special delivery is the safest means of shipping cuttings at this season. Express service is un- certain and far from satisfactory. IBIS AND GLADIOU. The Spanish iris must be grown cool at all times, or you will never get nice, stocky spikes. Whether it is grown in flats, benches or beds, April is as early as this iris can be satisfactorily flowered and efforts to bloom it ahead of your neighbors will mean a lot of blind shoots. Iris tingitana and filifolia are naturally much earlier-blooming and can be flowered as early as January. These beautiful sorts cost much more than I. hispanica and, to be profitable, should realize treble the price of the latter variety. The small-flowered gla- dioli of the nanus section, such as Blush- ing Bride, The Bride and Peach Blossom, can be hurried a little more than the Spanish iris, but are also better if grown cool and I would not advise the grower to give any of them over 50 degrees at night. A batch of each should be com- ing along now and will prove exceed- ingly useful when they come in season. Chrysanthemum frutescefts, but is a most satisfactory spring bloomer. While most of the flowers will come single, a fair proportion will come semi-double or doubled The single on^s are the more pleasing. Outdoors, C. frutescens makes a good bedder, and as the weather be- comes warm all the flowers are double and come in useful for funeral work. Any of the marguerites, propagated now, can be grown into nice, bushy plants in 4-inch and 5-inch pots for spring sales. Why not put in a batch of them? ENGLISH IVIES. Some time ago I mentioned the popu- lar evergreen climber, English ivy, now used in so many ways commercially as well as on private estates, and advised getting in a good batch of cuttings. If you failed to do so at that time, January is a good month to put them in the sand. Keep them well watered and it will not take long for every cutting to root. Many of us are unable to do much vdth ivy outdoors, but we have many other uses for it and there is little danger of propagating it too extensively. MASGUEBITES. For the coming Easter, when lilies will be scarce, there should be a good call for well-flowered marguerites. Some of these we had in fine shape for Christmas, but for Easter blooming a pinch should be given until the end of January, after which let the plants have plenty of space, water and feed, with a tempera- ture of 48 to 50 degrees at night, and they should be a mass of flowers before April 20. The variety Mrs, Sander makes a less shapely plant than the old PBIMUI.A MALACOIDES. Primula malacoides needs careful treatment at this season, especially where the plants are at all large. When it was first introduced we all made the natural blunder of sowing the seeds at the same time as those of chinensis, kewensis and obconiea, and by fall we had plants large enough for tubs. As a consequence, no matter how carefully we watered them, more or less of the foliage rotted. We learned by experi- ence that July 1 is early enough to sow this primula and we have at the present time excellent 6-inch and 8-inch pans in which the sowing was done at that time. In order to have malacoides at its best, give it, if possible, a shelf in full sun at this season. Water with great care and pour the water around the sides of the pot, never over the crown. It takes but little dampness to destroy a lot of foliage when we have several successive sunless days. Keep the plants a little on the dry side, have them well elevated and they will come through all right. Also, grow them in a cool temperature, not over 45 degrees at night; then you 'will have stockiness as well as color. A GOOD CATCH CROP. If you have not bought and started a batch of the large-flowered gladioli yet, it will pay you to do so without delay. Almost any colors can be dis- posed of if you are growing for the re- tail trade, but at the wholesale markets such sorts as America, Mrs. Francis King, Panama, Augusta, Schwaben and Pink Beauty are in demand. Probably America and Mrs. King have a larger sale than any other two varieties. There are other desirable sorts of moderate price, such as Halley, Peace, Empress of India, the old brenchleyensis, still hard to beat as a scarlet, LUy Lehman and Niagara, well worthy of culture. Bulbs can be planted in beds from which late mums have been taken, giving the com- post a good forking over first, but be- ing careful not to use any fresh manure for them. Plantings for Memorial day must not go in for some weeks yet. Perhaps you have no spare bench just at present and are anxious to start some bulbs. In such a case, pot them singly in 3-inch or S^/^-inch pots and later transfer them to the beds or benches. Do not overlook the beautiful primu- linus varieties. These reproduce so abundantly from both seed and bulblets that they are now within the reach of everyone. They will flower earlier than the gandavensis type, are much more graceful for any kind of floral work and come in a number of taking colors. MRS. FRANK PENDLETON. Under the caption, "Late Gladioli," in The Review of December 26, C. W., in reply to an inquiry from J. P. H. — Mo., gives a list of late-flowering gla- dioli which does not include the variety Mrs. Frank Pendleton. As this is one of the most magnificent gladioli ever introduced, no up-to-date grower can afford to overlook it. It is a late-bloom- ing kind, later than some of those men- tioned, and a splendid forcer, as well as a ready grower out of doors. It is a profuse multiplier and now gen- erally available at a moderate price. The variety is of such gorgeous appear- ance that it is a center of attraction at all leading gladiolus shows. Growers who appreciate high-class stock cannot afford to overlook this popular type. A. E. Kunderd. January 9, 1919.

Florists -will be interested in a de- cision handed down by the Pennsyl- vania Superior court recently in the case of Benson vs. the Laurel Hill Cemetery Co., bearing on the right of a cemetery to monopolize the work of planting flowers, cutting grass, etc., on private lots. The decision appears to be in accord with the trend of judicial authority to the effect that a cemetery association may adopt reasonable regu- lations to secure the carrying out of a scheme for uniform adornment of the burial grounds, where there is nothing in the wording of the lot deeds to show that the lot holders have acquired vested rights in conflict with such regulations. But where the deeds broadly reserve to the lot holders power to care for their own lots, they cannot, by any subsequent regulation to whifth they dissent, be deprived of the right to entrust to their favorite florists the work of decorating their graves. It is possible that the logical view taken by the Pennsylvania court may serve to suggest to florists, who have been discriminated against by cemetery authorities, that a little cooperation on the part of lot owners may aid in re- moving this discrimination. However, it is not to be overlooked that where cemetery lot deeds are so worded as to fail to confer clearly on the grantees the right, and the deeds are declared to be given subject to existing and future regulations of the association, the law seems to support the right of the association to adopt exclusive regulations having any legiti- mate tendency to promote the interests of the lot holders at large. Bights Conferred by Deeds. In the Pennsylvania case, it appeared that the cemetery was established in 1837 and that, continuously down to 1915, the right of lot owners to attend to their own flower planting, etc., per- sonally or by their own employees, had been recognized. The deeds recited that they conferred "the full, free and abso- lute right of sepulture and the exclusive use, occupation and possession for that purpose and for all objects and purposes incident thereto," etc. Late in 1914, the cemetery company claiming that disturbances had arisen between the employees of the company and those of lot owners, and that the latter had violated regulations against the burning of leaves in driveways, etc., a regulation was adopted purport- ing to forbid, after January 1, 1915, any person to enter the cemetery for hire for the purpose of planting flowers, cutting grass, sodding and grading. Plaintiffs brought suit to enjoin en- forcement of the rule and obtained a decree in the trial court. The cemetery company appealed to the Superior court, which affirmed the decision, except as to grading. It was decided that the company was entitled to exclusively control the matter of grading, in order that a uniform scheme might be car- ried into execution. The salient parts of the opinion on appeal read as fol- lows: Subject of the Grant. "It is of the first importance that attention be gi^en 1fO"the language of the grant already quoted. As will be seen, it conveyed not merely the right of sepulture, and the exclusive occupa- tion and possession of the lot for that purpose, but such use and possession applied as well to 'all objects and pur- poses inci(Jent thereto.' The latter, then, were just as much the subject of the grant as the right of sepulture itself, and, for the accomplishment of those purposes and the exercise of those incidental rights or privileges, the pos- session of the grantee was exclusive. For what objects and purposes, apart from the right of sepulture itself, could the grantee of such a lot desire to have its exclusive possession! The univer- sality and intensity of the feeling which requires of the living some effort to assuage the pangs caused by final sepa- ration from loved ones by visiting their last resting places and attempting to keep them free from the ravages of time, were beautifully portrayed by an eminent jurist many years ago in the following language: 'Among all tribes and nations, savage and civilized, the resting places of the dead are regarded as sacred. There memory loves to linger and plant the choicest flowers; there the sorrowing heart renews the past, rekindles into life the viewless forms of the dead, revives the scenes where once they moved and recalls the happy hours of love and friendship. There parent and child, husband and wife, relatives and friends, with broken spirits and crushed hopes, revisit often the spot where they deposited their dead. Who does not feel the fountains of his heart broken up and the warm gushings of emotion when standing over the green sod which covers the departed?' If it was not in response to this universally recognized sentiment that each lot owner was given the exclusive possession of his lot, we do not know to what we can refer the absolute grant of the ex- clusive possession of the lot 'for all objects and purposes incident' to the right of sepulture. Owners' Bights Sustained. "We concede it is well within the power of the cemetery company, and altogether in harmony with the nature of the grant and the purposes of the proviso we have quoted, to adopt such reasonable by-laws as might regulate the exercise of their rights by the lot holders so as to promote the general welfare of all concerned and to bring about a proper and harmonious develop- ment of the entire property for the good of all. We doubt not such regula- tion might reasonably embrace measures to preserve peace and good order among those working in the cemetery and to forbid entrance thereafter to any in- dividual who refused obedience to such reasonable rule or regulation. But the power to regulate is one thing, the claim to deprive every lot holder of a part of his grant is quite another. To say that a lot owner, who, by reason of age, sickness or other cause, is unable, with his own hands, to cut the grass on his cemetery lot and plant the graves of his dead with the flowers he or she may in lifetime have loved, may not send a well-behaved representative to act for him, goes, we think, far beyond the right to regulate and is in deroga- tion of the grant.

When, several months ago, Cleveland wholesalers closed their places of busi- ness on Sunday, they most emphatically took a step in the direction of progress. The retailer has not been inconveni- enced, wholesalers have increased their business and the morale of their sales forces has been inestimably raised. It is now up to the retail section to do its bit toward elevating a dignified pro- fession to its proper plane. A number have long since discontinued their for- mer practice of opening their places of business on the allotted day of rest and others are gradually falling into line. Conspicuous among the latter is the J. M. Gasser Co., which at the beginning of the new year notified its patrons that the store would not be open in the future for the transaction of business on Sunday. Undoubtedly many florists, by reason of their location near ceme- teries, might find it difficult to put this plan into effect, but if approached in a tactful manner, it can be accomplished without any perceptible diminutioji of business. Much of the drudgery will thereby be removed from the work, time will be had for recreation — includ- ing, of course, the thorough perusal of the trade paper — and business life in general will assume a brighter aspect. Florists owe it to themselves, their fam- ilies and assistants, to close their shops on the Sabbath. Mac. PBOOBESS. The Cleveland Florists' Club now has representation on the directorate of the S. A.

The Florists' Rcvic icw\ Januabt 9, 1919. that tho spirit of progress abides with the trade in the Sixth City. The name of another club member also is included in the list of directors, that of Robert Weeks, president of the National As- sociation of Gardeners. Frank A. Friedley has been reappointed vice- president for the northern part of the state of Ohio and Herman P. Knoble has been retained upon the publicity finance /"committee. Charles J. Graham has the honor of being the first club president to sit as an S. A. F. director. Mac. MORE ABOUT "IBONITE." For several months The Review has been trying to locate the manufacturer of "Ironite," a "lawn dressing, not a fertilizer." A. Miller, the sales agent of this preparation, is as active as Josh Billings' flea — "he never stays put." Two months ago he was in the Pacific coast states. There he sold a consider- able quantity of "Ironite" to the flo- rists, but did not get out of one city in time to avoid returning the money. It was not more than two weeks after this experience that he was reported to be calling on the trade in Pennsylvania. Now comes G. H. Hennessey, of the North Side Greenhouses, Springfield, 111., who sends The Review one of the shipping labels that are attached to the bags of "Ironite" that Mr. Miller ships ahead of him. On the back of this label is written Mr. Miller's name. The label is in green and says: Lawns made beautiful. Ironite, a lawn dress- ing, not a fertilizer. For trees, plants and lawns. National Tree & Remedy Co. Home office, Denver, Col. P. O. Box 1721, Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Hennessey says: "Noticed a request for the address of 'Ironite.' Here is the label. Mr. Miller's handwriting is on the back. His method is to ship a number of sacks of this stuff ahead of him, get it and then hire a taxi and go out and sell it. It is worthless as a plant grower. It looks to me like dust from the emery wheels used in the finishing of iron castings. ' ' WINANS' WATER WARMER. How do you like to work for an hour or two every day with your thumb over the end of a hose spouting ice-cold water? If you are like the average florist you find watering one of the most distaste- ful jobs in the greenhouse in the winter. Not alone is it unpleasant, but it is not conducive to the best of health to work with water at a temperature it now comes out of the city water mains, or out of the florist's own water tank. If a man has rheumatism he does not find that the daily use of water almost ice-cold is in the least beneficial. Nor do the plants in the greenhouse benefit by an icy bath. Frank Winans, who appears in the accompanying illustration, is a temper- ance advocate, but not fond of cold water. He found he was apt to neglect the plants in his greenhouses at Pe- toskey, Mich., because it was so unpleas- ant to use the hose in winter. After thinking about it for a while he rigged up the apparatus shown in the illustra- tion. It consists of nothing more than some short lengths of pipe put together with elbows. The center loop is as long as the firebox in his boiler. The two ends project through the fire door and to each «f them he attaches his hose, one line running from the faucet and the other into his greenhouses. By simply throwing the "heater" into the fire he raises the temperature of the city water in winter from sometliing like 45 degrees to around 70 degrees, just the temperature one likes for a summer swim. With his heater Mr. Winans finds the winter wielding of the hose has lost its unpleasant features. It takes him about an hour each day to go through his greenhouses and he can do it without freezing his hands; nor does he mind the mischance which ;frequently wets the florist in other portions of his anat- omy. The plants, too, like the mild temperature. He has found that all the stock does better since he has used the warmed water. Previously the morn- ing's watering reduced the temperature Frank Vf nans' Water Warmer. of the house about 8 degrees; now it runs it up nearly as much. Mr. Winans has no patent on the device and offers it in this fashion to the free use of any florist who wants to make one like it. BRIEF ANSWERS. M.

The next regular meeting of the Sag- inaw-Bay City Floricultural Society will be held Monday, January 13, at 7:30 p. m., at the store of Charles Frueh & Sons, Saginaw. All members are urged to attend, as there is plenty of business of importance to be transacted at this meeting. The "flu" epidemic was the cause of the loss of the recent meetings. Henry W. F. Goetz, See'y. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. Eureka, CaJ. — A committee chosen at a meeting of creditors of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, Inc., and (or) Charles W. Ward reports as follows: "This corporation and Mr. Ward individually were understood to have asked through their attorney, Pierce H. Ryan, an ex- tension of ninety days, during which time local creditors would be requested to allow their accounts to remain in status quo, it being understood that this request does not comprehend those who have at present levied attachments to release such attachments, the purpose intended being that creditors are asked to refrain from starting additional pro- ceedings and stay all pending suits un- til expiration of the time asked for. During this time it is the intention of the debtors to liquidate outstanding ac- counts by either selling a portion of their timber lands or negotiating a loan upon the property of sufficient size to pay off all claims. Attorney for debtors states that negotiations are now under way on both these propositions with what he considers good prospects for success." The statement submitted to the credi- tors showed assets of $1,116,000 and liabilities of $297,106.47._^ The commit- tee concedes assets which would, at forced sale, bring more than $437,000, which leaves an excess over liabilities of at least $157,000. "From the above it will be seen," says the committee, "that a great deal of pruning has been done and after all of this is accomplished we are of the opinion, based on such statements as have beeo submitted to us, that Mr. Ward and his corporations are perfectly solvent and that if the business can be continued under the proper management all creditors will ultimately receive all moneys due them. "It would seem to the committee that if Mr. Ward were willing to allow the creditors to choose a trustee for their benefit, such trustee to control the finances of the various corporations, etc., in question, and if in the meantime the creditors would work in harmony to the end that the nursery business would be conducted without hindrance by reason of numerous attachment suits and the like, the properties could be turned back to Mr. Ward free of floating in- debtedness and in such shape that he could ultimately handle them to his own pleasure and profit. "A second meeting of the creditors is called for 10 a. m. January 10, at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce at Eureka, for the purpose of further considering this matter." Mishawaka, Ind. — C. L. Powell has leased the store at 121 Main street and will establish a flower and seed busi- ness. His greenhouses are on the north side of the city. Louisville, Ky.— Two sons of Simon Pontrich, who has a flower store on South Twenty-eighth street, were in an automobile accident December 30, when the car they were in was upset by a larger car. Raphael, the elder, 18 years old, suffered severe injuries and was taken to a hospital. Jancabt 9, 1919.

Many Back in the Harness. Daily The Review gets reports of florists who have been in the training camps in the United States or in the service overseas returning to their former places. The demobilization is progressing slowly, but surely. Soon those who left their positions or busi- nesses to help the United States win the war will be back in the trade and conditions, as to help, again will be normal. Edwin L. Matthewson Back. Edwin L. Matthewson, associated with J. E. Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis., received his honorable discharge from the army December 14 and reached home just in time to help out with the Christmas rush. Martin Amling Reaches Home. Martin Amling, youngest son of Wil- liam H. Amling, whose death is reported in this issue, was in the training camp at Waco, Tex., where he had been sent from Camp Grant, until a few days ago. When the illness of his father became critical, telegrams were dispatched to Waco in the expectation of reaching him there, as his family did not know of his Jiaving been transferred. It so hap- pened, however, that he was passing through Chicago January 4, on his way to Camp Grant for discharge, and the messages were delivered to him there. His release was granted at once to en- able him to hasten to the bedside of his father. Barton W. EUiott. It is with regret that we chronicle the death November 4 of Barton W. Elliott, Pittsburgh and Springdale, Pa., who was reported in The Review several Lieut* Frank E* Grimes. weeks ago as having been seriously wounded in action "somewhere in France." Only the notice of his death has been received from the war depart- ment, but the family suppose that it occurred in the hospital where he was taken after being injured. Private Elliott, who was between 19 and 20 years of age, was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wilkinson Elliott, who survive him, together with their three sons and four daughters. Prior to going to France last August, he had pre- liminary training with Company C, Fourth Separate Battalion of the Marine Corps, at Paris Island, S. C, and Camp Quantico, Va. Prior to enlisting last spring, he was a student at the Law- renceville Academy, Lawrenceville, N. u. E. E. S. Private Lee Hull. Before entering the service Private Lee Hull was grower for Greig's Green- houses, at Anaconda, Mont. He went to France early in April, 1918, and was in the 32nd Division. A clipping from a Paris newspaper concerning this di- vision says: "During the war the 32nd Division has fought on five points, Alsace, the Vesle, Soissons, Argonne and the Meuse, and has met twenty of Ger- many's crack divisions, among them the Prussian Guards. It never yielded a yard of ground to the enemy's counter attacks." Private Hull was wounded in August, 1918, and was in a hospital until after the armistice was signed. In a recent letter to his brother, William Hull, of Bristol, Va., he says he has been dis- charged from the hospital with thirty- nine others selected to act as orderlies for the peace conference. He adds, "One has not seen France until he has seen Paris." The G-rimes Boys. Persistency won for Malcolm A. Grimes, of the Grimes Floral Co., Ticon- deroga, N. Y., what many thousands of young Americans longed for during the war — a chance to get into the fighting in France. Soon after the United States entered the war, the young man, follow- ing the lead of his older brother, Frank E. Grimes, applied for enlistment. He was rejected for physical causes, but they were so slight that he treated with a physician and again applied. He was turned down a second time, but when he applied a third time he was accepted. He trained at Madison Barracks and then graduated from the School of Aerial Photography, at Rochester, N. Y. Then he went to the flying field at Hemp- stead, L. I., and was sent overseas. When the war ended he was Corporal Grimes, of the 20th Photographic Sec- tion, U. S. Air Service, in France. Lieu- tenant Frank E. Grimes was one of the first to graduate from an officers' train- ing school and received a commission as second lieutenant. Both young soldiers were associated with their father, F. H. Grimes, before they enlisted and, un- doubtedly, soon will get back into the florists' business. Captain George E. Elrk. News has just reached Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kirk, of Bar Harbor, Me., of the death of their son. Captain George E. Kirk, of pneumonia, in a base hos- pital at the edge of the Argonne forest in France. Captain Kirk had been ill in the hospital, but letters received by his parents stated that he had recovered. On the declaration of the armistice, he left the hospital against the urgent ad- vice of his nurse, being naturally anx- ious to march at the head of his company into conquered Germany. The effort proved too great and he went back to the hospital in a delirious condition No- vember 16 and died November 20, after a brave fight for life. Captain Kirk entered the officers' training camp at Fort Niagara and . graduated as second lieutenant in the autumn 'of 1917. He received further training with a machine gun company at Gettysburg, Pa. He visited his Bar Harbor home early last winter and shortly after sailed overseas. He took an active and heroic part in the severe fighting last summer and early fall in the battles of Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and other desperate encounters and for gallantry was promoted first to be a full lieutenant and later captain. He was a member of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion, Company A, of the regu- lar army. In all the desperate battles in which he was engaged he never re- ceived a scratch and it seems particular- ly sad that, when fighting had ceased, pneumonia should claim him. He was only 24 years of age. Captain Kirk was educated at the Bar Harbor school and later attended the University of Maine at Orono, and the University of Susque- hanna. He was a noted athlete and a member of the football team at both colleges. Edward Kirk, his father, was Malcolm A. Grimes. 16 The Florists^ Review Jandabt 9. 1919. for many years superintendent of the George W. Vanderbilt estate, Bar Har- bor, and now owns and operates the North East Harbor Nurseries, on Mount Desert Island. Besides his parents. Captain Kirk is survived by two sisters, a brother in the U. S. Navy and a brother in New York city, for all of whom much sympathy is felt. W. N. C. NEW YORK. The Market. The New Year's holiday market was practically identical with that of Christ- mas, conditions being precisely the same. Stock was woefully short, and prices, as a consequence, at high levels. A retailer thus described the situation: "Of ten people who came in to buy, eight left without doing business, owing to the tall prices we had to ask." This experience was general, yet it has not been learned that retailers have any stock left over. If all sales prospects had bought, orders could not have been filled. Wholesalers cleaned up as fast as shipments came in. It was a matter of equitable distribution rather than salesmanship. The market continues on the short side, and, so far as can be seen, there is little chance for relief in the near fu- ture. The business being done is not really heavy, in point of the number of transactions; in fact, it is a long way from normal. A good deal of flipping business has been done of late. In the last few years this has been an unimportant feature of the New York market, and its re- sumption at this time is evidence of the great curtailment of production prac- ticed in consequence of fuel restrictions. Bulbous stock is late this year. Usu- ally a heavy unloading of narcissi and other items is looked for to check ad- vances in more staple lines, but even Paper Whites are in evidence only in small quantities. Boses are coming in even supply, hardly more one day than another, and in quantity barely sufficient to meet the call. All grades move quickly, the short grades especially so, as, if they are not secured at the opening of the market, they must be eliminated from the day's prospects. Carnations are in good demand, and 12 cents appears to be the top price, except for good Benora and one or two other varieties, for which 15 cents is asked and frequently obtained. The supply of orchids has lessened, but there is plenty to go around. Oncid- ium splendidum is bringing as high as 10 cents per flower for the best, but held-over stock is closed out at as low as 6 cents. The same is true of Phalsenopsis amabilis, which is now coming in freely. Cattleyas have now a range of 25 cents to 75 cents, the lat- ter figure including the comparatively new Brasso-cattleyas and some of the hybrids. Sweet peas are not in good supply, the warm, muggy weather lately experi- enced having caused a general dropping of buds. Lilies are plentiful, but the prices re- main high, on account of the demand for these flowers for funeral work. Freesias have made an appearance and bring from 75 cents to $1 per bunch; and there is a small showing of tulips, at $1 to $2 per bunch. The supply of violets has increased and prices have fallen to figures nearer normal. There is a good supply of stevia, which moves readily at three bunches for $1, Jfor the best. Daisies, calendulas, snapdragon, pansies, forget- me-nots and bouvardias all clean up well at good prices. Various Notes. The case of the park department, looking to the ousting of the Interna- tijipal Garden Club from its occupancy or the old Barbour mansion, Pelham Bay park, was dismissed when called up for trial. It is understood that the club is to stay in possession of the build- ing and grounds without further moles- tation. The new rose, Columbia, was promi- nent among the holiday offerings, and was a worthy addition to the supply of "big" roses. G. Ruff and Grover Asmus are to put into operation next spring the old Ernst Asmus greenhouse range, at West Ho- boken, N. J., which has been closed since last November. Treasurer E. Davey, of the Stamford, Conn., Horticultural Society, died Janu- ary 1. He was gardener for G. G. Dominick, of Stamford. His wife died a few days previously. The firm of Goldstein & Futterman, 102 West Twenty-eighth street, has been dissolved, and the business is be- ing continued by Futterman Bros. I. Goldstein, of the old firm, has started in the wholesale business at 114 West Twenty-eighth street. Lieutenant Commander A. M. Hen- shaw, of the Naval Reserves, was a visi- tor in the market January 4. He has reached the top of the ladder in his branch of the service, and expects short- ly to be retired to civilian life. During his naval career he had many experi- ences, but says that his view, at short range, of the grand fleet in the Firth of Forth was worth all of them. The sympathy of the trade is ex- tended to J. K. Allen, the veteran whole- saler at 118 West Twenty-eighth street, in the death of his son, George James Allen, which is reported in another column of this issue. Edward Eccles, son-in-law of Thomas Jones, the well known orchid grower, of Short Hills, N. J., died suddenly Christmas day. The account of his death will be found in another column of this issue. The next meeting of the New York Florists' Club will be held January 13, at the elub's quarters in the Grand Opera House building, Twenty-third street and Eighth avenue. At this meet- ing the new officers will be inducted into office. Henry Weston, of Hempstead, L. I., has been experimenting with a new oil- burning device, and is so well satisfied with it that he will install an equipment of it under his greenhouse boilers. He is satisfied that its great service in heat- ing his houses in the late spring and early fall, or at any time when quick heat for a short period is desired, would justify the installation. Jasper B. Lewis, of Ralph M. Ward & Co., received a Christmas present in the shape of a little daughter, who has been named Carol, in honor of the sea- son of her birth. Steamer business for retail florists is resumed. Considerable business was done in connection with recent sailings. It is expected that it will not be long before steamer trade will reach pre-war volumes. Emil Sehloss, of Schloss Bros., Rib- bons, Inc., has entered upon his duties as state vice-presidept of the S. A. P. for eastern New York. With his lovable personality and wide acquaintance, es- pecially in retail circles, there should be a notable increase in the member- ship of the society in his territory. The National League for Woman's Service has a project well under way for the erection of a number of elec- trically-lighted signs along our water fronts, in which the trade slogan, "Say It with Flowers," is to predominate. Sergeant Coon, son of Elmer Coon, the violet grower of Rhinebeck, N. Y., who, as a member of a surgical unit, has just returned from overseas, was in town last week, calling upon the trade. Courtland C. Earle and Robert M. Lament, of the Quidnick Greenhouses, Quidnick, R. I., were visitors during the holidays. Other visitors were J. N. Champion, of New Haven, and Carl Reck, of Bridgeport, Conn. J. H. P. Wertheimer Bros., in order to accom- modate their increasing business, have erected a building adjoining their prem- ises, which will be connected with their present quarters by archways.^ When completed, the additional quartets will afford more than double the floor space now occupied. NEWPORT, R. I. Samuel Preston, for many years a gar- dener on various estates in this city, died December 30 at his home, 42 Edgar court, after a long illness. He was born in the south, but removed to Newport a number of years ago, while still a young man, secured employment on one of the summer estates as gardener and followed that occupation until his death. An injury to his left hand several months ago made it necessary to ampu- tate the member, and since that time Mr. Preston had been in poor health. He is survived by his wife and daugh- ter. He was reliable and well thought of. Daniel Murphy has returned from New York, where he witnessed the big naval review. John H. Allan, son of John T. Allan, who is a gunner's mate in the navy, has returned to duty following a holiday visit at home. Oscar Schultz donated palms and ferns for the decoration of the rooms of the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. for the New Year's celebration. Gibson Bros, also gave palms and ferns and Stewart Ritchie furnished cut flowers. Andrew Ramsay is moving his green- house to a new site on Harrison avenue. Mrs. Fred P. Webber was pianist for the evening at the recent installation ceremonies at the meeting of Aquidneck Grange, P. of H., at Middletown. Hugh S. Meikle, gardener for Dr. Rod- erick Terry, was elected Tanist of Clan MacLeod, Order of Scottish Clans, last week. w. H. M. Anderson, S. C— J. K. Postma, who came here from Evans City, Tenn., has completely recovered from an attack of the "flu" and has entered the employ- ment of the Anderson Floral Co. Mr. Postma formerly was in business for himself in the central west and is well known in the trade. He has been a reader of The Review for twenty years. January 9, 1919. The Florists^ Review 17 PITTSBnRQH. High Prices for Flowers. Following the holidays, prices in all varieties of stock have come down from thirty to fifty per cent. Never in the history of the local trade has there been so much discussion regarding the unpar- alleled high prices of flowers as during the last few months. Samuel Mc- Clements, of Eandolph & McClements, says: "Owing to the exorbitant charges necessitated for cut flowers, the plantsman is coming into his own. Eec- ognizing this fact from our experiences last year during both the Christmas and Easter seasons, and in a measure dur- ing the holidays just past, we kept away from the cut flower business, handling plants instead, with the result that we disposed of twice as many plants as a year ago, five baskets only remaining of our entire stock. Another factor which has discouraged us with the cut flower end is the condition in which some of our shipments have arrived this season, owing, undoubtedly, to their having been held back too long. " Ean- dolph & McClements have the most fashionable clientele of the east end section of Pittsburgh. Mr. Weaklen, representing G. P. Weaklen & Co., says: "Considering every phase of the present cost of pro- duction, the high prices of floral prod- ucts are more or less justified, the short- age of home products and the tardy receipts of lilies and other bulbous im- portations all militating against low prices." De Forest W. Ludwig, of the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., is one of the most radical opponents of the current high prices. "The high prices counteract all the results of judicious advertising and, unless they come down, people are going to substitute candy for flowers," Mr. Ludwig says, and, as a counter measure, urges the cooperation of the grower, middleman and retailer. "Eeasonable increases in the prices of cut blooms and plants are just and necessary," says Edward L. McGrath, of McGrath & Langhans, downtown florists. Theodore P. Langhans believes that the florists would be only too glad to reduce wholesale prices if fuel, labor and other incidental growing expenses would decrease in proportion. He adds: "We are now paying $4.50 a ton for coal, which previously was $1,05, while the cost of labor has increased more than fifty per cent, as men who were formerly drawing $12 per week, now get $25, and all other expenses are propor- tionately increased." Edward J. McCallum considers that if cut flower prices had increased grad- ually in the same proportion and at the same time as other commodities, the higher prices would have been accepted without comment. However, during the season of 1916-17, when the prices of everything went up in other lines of business, often carrying huge profits, the cut flower growers sold their prod- ucts at the old prices, and instead of making big profits, did not make a cent above running expenses, which jumped higher than those of any other business, owing to coal going up three or four hundred per cent. Apropos of this fact, the fuel administration is authority for the statement that in estimating the value of greenhouse products, coal is the largest item of expense. It took the influenza epidemic to create a demand large enough to lead the growers to ask prices which would enable them to make even their former profit. We are the only industry, moreover, for which the f ael restriction of fifty per cent is prac- tically in effect until summer, owing to the fact that the ban was lifted too late to do the majority of us any good until planting time. Thus the unwrit- ten law of supply and demand would entitle us to ask 100 per cent more for what we produce to recompense us for our sacrifice; instead, we are not asking more than fifty to 100 per cent more than in the old days. Various Notes. The death of Barton W. Elliott, of which his family has just been notified, is recorded on another page of this is- sue. James J. Higgins returned to Pitts- burgh January 4, having spent Christ- mas with Mrs. Higgins 's sister, Mrs. Hine, of the Winona hotel, Winona, Minn. He also attended in Chicago the annual convention of the traveling salesmen of the A. L. Eandall Co. Eay J. Daschbach, formerly of this city, now of Los Angeles, Cal., also attended the Eandall convention. Mrs. Victor Bergman and her son, Victor Bergman, Jr., have returned to their home in Chicago following a ten weeks' visit with Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Ludwig, the parents of Mrs. Bergman. Gustavo Eeising is scheduled to be in the city tomorrow representing L. Bau- mann & Co., Chicago, 111. ^ Walter Bopp has temporarily severed his relations as bookkeeper for the Har- ris Bros., expecting to return some time later. Mr. Bopp has been in the service of this firm for the last two years. Theodore P. Langhans has been spend- ing the last week on a business trip to Columbus, O., and a visit with his son, Sergeant Oliver H. Langhans, who is now at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O., following a year or more with the Aero Construction Service Squadron, A. S. S. C, at Vancouver Barracks, Vancouver, Wash., and Clatsop, Ore. Eandolph & McClements have inaugu- rated a card system for Christmas and Easter deliveries. The flowers or plants are sent a few days before the holiday, aicompanied by a card which states that "card with duplicate number will be mailed Good Friday" (if the holi- day happens to be Easter). The second card states who the purchaser was and to whom delivered. E. E. S. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The Market. The market has broken! This, how- ever, was no surprise, as such unusual prices could not continue long. Then, too, the supply has increased, while the demand has decreased. Some of the growers just missed the Christmas mar- ket, their crops coming in too late. Thus a crowded condition has arisen. From $12.50 and $15, the price has fallen to from $4 to $8. It is predicted, however, that within two weeks the supply will be normal again and prices stiffen. Eoses are more plentiful, but are in good demand and clear readily. Short stock continues rare. Prices on this class of stock also have dropped, the range being from $5 to $25. Any and all lilies clear immediately. Easter and rubrum varieties are limited. Callas are in fair supply at $2.50 and $3 per dozen. Poinsettias are gone. Nar- cissi are adequate at $6 per hundred. All small flowers are hard to procure. Stevia is over, while violets, peas, calen- dulas, pansies and valley are short. White buddleia is an addition to the market. New Year 's business was poor. Prac- tically the only demand was that made for corsage work and, owing to the scarcity of all small flowers, it was diffi- cult to do business along this line. So- cial functions were not so numerous as on former New Year's eves, owing, per- haps, to the fact that the state has gone dry. various Notes. Notice: Do not forget the meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana to be held January 14, at 2 p. m., at the Claypool hotel.

The first cold °wave of the season struck Milwaukee January 2 and put a crimp in business generally. Stock has been none too plentiful up to now and a shortage exists on roses. The stock is in good shape, but it takes sunshine to produce anything in quantity. The official weather report for December shows one day clear and nine days part- ly cloudy; this is the best explanation that can be given for the shortage of roses. Carnations, which had been scarce up to Christmas, began at that date to increase in numbers and this, coupled with the cessation of the "flu" epidemic, has had a tendency to make the supply balance the demand. So far this year the florists' business has gone through an unusual era of prosperity, ' with indications that conditions will not change much until late spring, at any rate. We can see how the reduc- tion of the areas devoted to the pro- duction of flowers has affected the mar- ket. Violets are extremely scarce, orders for them being refused daily. Sweet peas are coming in larger numbers, but the supply is still far from adequate and the quality is not so good as it should be. There are practically no lilies or valley on the market. Cat- tleyas were in gqod supply for the New Year's trade and- there was also a good- ly crop of oncidiums; these, with short roses, helped to fill the shortage of flowers for New Year's eve corsages caused by the lack of sweet peas and vio- lets. There are practically no Paper Whites in the market and only a few freesias have been seen so far. Stevia was plentiful during the holidays and still is, for that matter. The demand, however, has kept up nicely, clearing the cut daily at $3 per hundred. The outlook for January business is good and, even with a decrease in funeral work, should be far better than the previous year. Various Notes. The Wisconsin State Florists' As- sociation, organized last fall, still has a number of florists in the state to hear from, but its membership is increasing nicely. In view of the value of its activities as a trade association, every florist in the state should become affil- iated with it. Any wholesaler in Mil- waukee will be glad to take care of applications. The local Florists' Advertising Club did not reduce its activities during the late shortage of stock and the scope of its campaign has broadened so that real results are to be anticipated. Florists in general in this community are en- thusiastic over its achievements to date. The annual meeting will be held some- time in February, which will be the close of the first year's work of the association. H. W. Koerner, the well known dahlia, gladiolus and peony specialist, has sold his entire business to E. F. Stabelfeldt, his nephew, who will follow Mr. Koer- ner's motto, "Quick service, good goods and light packing." Mr. Koerner has retired and his home is at 5405 Wash- ington boulevard. He started in the florists' business in 1896 in a small way. He worked up a good retail business in a short time and the second year began to grow gladioli. He soon came to be- lieve that this was a flower of great possibilities. In 1902 he purchased fif- teen acres of the best soil he could find and began to specialize in the three flowers mentioned. He worked up a good trade and always produced high- grade cut flowers and bulbs. H. J. S. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. Although we had favorable weather for several weeks before Christmas, the heavy demand for flowers throughout the three months preceding the holiday absorbed every flower and it was a ques- tion of the florist either substituting something for cut flowers or closing his doors to the public. Hence the use of artificial flowers was general, espe- cially for funeral work, which was more in evidence this holiday than in any pre- vious year, and the general advertising and display of fine blooming plants, the exceptional sales of which made this a plant Christmas. However, considering all conditions, this was by far the greatest Christmas business ever experienced by the local trade, both as to the amount of fiowers and plants sold, and also as to the high prices obtained for them. The fact that the high prices did not deter the general public from purchasing flowers is of much signiflcance to the florist, as, of course, he can no longer do business at the old prices and break even, to say nothing of making a fair margin of profit. Carnations sold at prices 100 per cent higher than other years, wholesaling for $10 and $12 per hundred. Hoses sold at an advance of from fifty to 100 per cent over previous years. Cattleyas were in fine supply at 75 cents and $1 each and violets sold at $2 per hundred. Sweet peas brought $2 to $4 per hundred. All other flowers showed an advance of fifty to 100 per cent over other years. There was an exceptionally fine va- riety of blooming plants, with cyclamens heading the list, at $3 to $5 each. Fine specimens of azaleas and Cincinnati be- gonias were priced seventy-five per cent higher than at other holidays. Jeru- salem cherries, freesias, primroses, nar- cissi, spiraeas, Scotch heather, celestial peppers and poinsettias made up the va- riety offered. In Christmas greens the demand was unusually heavy. Holly sold for $8 a case and was decidedly scarce. Ruscus, boxwood, California redwood and other greens were entirely cleaned up. The New Year's demand centered chiefly in blooming plants, although there was a brisk call for cut flowers. The bright weather, coupled with the slow demand for cut flowers after the Christmas trade, filled up the market so that the supply was more satisfactory for the New Year's trade. The demand has been below normal since New Year's, with only an occasional wed- ding. Funeral work, however,' keeps stock on the move. Warlous Notes. Clem Lantcrnier and Roy Brown, of A. J, Lanternier & Sons, are suffering from infiuenza. Mr. Lanternier was taken ill Christmas afternoon and Mr. Brown December 28. Both are reported to be recovering. This firm reports this year's business the largest in its history. It has sold more high-priced roses than in previous years. Word has been received here that Pri- vate George Pandell, of the Fort Wayne Flower Shop, suffered the loss of an arm while fighting on the French front the day before the armistice was signed. MiSb Martha Knecht, of the F. J. Knecht Co., is slowly recovering from a severe attack of influenza. Miss Helen F. Patten, of the Patten Flower Shop, Toledo, O., visited here sev- eral days with relatives and friends after the holiday rush. Miss Patten reports a fine holiday trade. R. F. B. OI^VEIiAND, O. The Market. New Year's business was good. Vio- lets and sweet peas were cleaned up quickly and all cut flowers seemed te move well. Carnations are arriving in heavier supply, but roses continue on the short side. Narcissi are plentiful. Calendulas clear well, but freesias are not in demand. Valley moves slowly. American Beauties of all grades are t» be had. Greens are in good supply. Various Notes. A. Wilhelmy has been ill, but is at work again. A. Barber had the New Year's deco- rations at the Cleveland hotel. Thomas Lisy has been ill. The Daisy Hill Farms are sending fine carnations to the market. The Friedley Co. is cutting good Eas- ter lilies. The wholesale houses all closed New Year's day. W. F. B. TOLEDO, O. Mrs. J. B. Freeman reports December as the best month in the history of her business. There were fewer charge ac- counts, but "much cash business. Hundreds of baskets of artificial flow- ers prepared by H. E. Klunder, designer for the Patten Flower Store, for the war mothers during the holiday season created an immense demand for this class of work. Schramm Bros, have been having a siege with influenza, five of their force being absent from this cause during the holiday season, including Frank Schramm, whose illness developed into pneumonia. Friends in the trade helped out during the rush and did much to retrieve the situation, for which the members of this firm are most grateful. Miss Marie Rex, of the Bowling Green Floral Co., Bowling Green, Ky., who bought stock for the holiday trade here, reports an excellent business for the season. J. A. Lambert, who visited different points in search of stock for the holi- days, found such a shortage everywhere that it looks as though it might take several weeks of favorable weather to get back to normal conditions. Mr. Lambert believes the prices of flowers during the holidays drove many people who ordinarily were patrons of the flower shops to turn to other lines for gifts and that if the wholesalers had not charged such high prices for stock, the retailers might have made many more sales and thereby retained their clientele of moderate spenders.

A well known figure in trade circles, one whom the local trade was pleased to honor, will be seen no more. William H. Amling, of Maywood, 111., prominent in the wholesale trade in the Chicago out flower market, passed away at his home in Maywood January 4, at the age of 52 years. Mr. Amling took up the florists ' voca- tion after twenty-one years of teaching school in Milwaukee, Wis. His success from the first was marked, a fact which he attributed to the kindly 6id and wise counsels of his brothers, Albert F. Am- ling, also well ' known to the Chicago wholesale trade, whose rose ranges at Maywood are widely known, and E. C. Amling, president of the E. C. Amling Co., Chicago. It was in the summer of 1907 that W. H. Amling purchased, at the age of 40 years, two acres of land on which were three greenhouses com- prising 10,000 feet of glass, in Maywood. Here he embarked in the business of growing flowers for the wholesale mar- ket, specializing at first in carnations. He continued to add to his glass until the establishment consisted of ten acres of land and two separate ranges of glass aggregating 75,000 feet, where ro^es, carnations, chrysanthemums, freesias and his specialty, sweet peas, were grown. Mr. Amling had been known to the trade as one ,of the most expert growers of sweet peas and chrysanthe- mums shipping to the Chicago wholesale cut flower market. His three sons, Wal- ter, Herbert and Martin, have assisted their father in the growing end of the work and all are members of the Chicago Florists' Club. Walter, the eldest, took over the rose range a few years ago and has operated it successfully for his own account. Martin Amling, the youngest son of W. H. Amling, is in the service of Uncle Sam, leaving Herbert in charge of the business conducted until recently by his father. Since the initiation into the trade of his sons, Mr. Amling had enjoyed more leisure for home and social life and for the rest of which he stood in need, for his health had been failing for the last two years, since the disease from which he suffered, anaemia, became more advanced. It was due to the state of his health, in fact, that he was unable to discharge the duties of the office of president of the Chicago Florists' Club, to which he was elected in December, 1916. Mr. Amling desired to decline this appreciated honor, feeling unequal to the requirements of the position, in view of his physical condition, but his fellow members would take no refusal. He had been prominently identified with the ac- tivities of the club from his entrance into the trade and also was a member of the 8. A. F. Mr. Amling was a man of the highest principles and possessed a personality which attracted to him the strongest sentiments of friendship and esteem. Besides his brothers and his sons, he is survived by his widow and two daugh- ters, Elsa and Irma. Funeral services were held January 7 at St. Paul's church, Melrose Park, 111., with inter- ment at Concordia cemetery. Forest ^^^^' Edward Eccles. A member of the trade who will be William H. Amling. missed by many friends passed away in the person of Edward Eccles, whose sud- den death occurred Christmas day. Mr. Eccles was the son-in-law of Thomas Jones, the well known orchid grower, of Short Hills, N. J., whose daughter, Elizabeth, widow of Mr. Eccles, sur- vives. Mr. Eccles had been associated in business for thirty years with Mr. Jones and was well known to the whole- sale trade of New York city and other eastern markets, where his pleasing per- sonality won him many friends. He is survived also by three daughters and a son. He was 58 years of ago and was born in Farmby, England, where his mother, three brothers and a sister still reside. .1. 11. P. George James Allen. The death of George James Allen, who conducted a retail flower store at ;161 West Twenty-eighth street, New York city, occurred the evening of December 30, after an illness of but a few hours. He had remained at his post in the store, in fact, until an hour before the end came. He had complained of chills during the day, his illness being lobar pneumonia. Mr. Allen was the son of •T. K. Allen, well known wholesale florist, of West Twenty-eighth street. New York. He was 36 years of age and leaves a wife and 11-year-old daughter, besides his parents and a brother and sister. J. H. P. Thomas M. Howard. Thomas M. Howard, owner of the Howard Greenhouses and Flower Shop, Scottsbluflf, Neb., died at his home in that city December 4, 1918, the cause of his death being heart failure. Mr. and Mrs. Howard established a small greenhouse business in Scottsbluff in 1908 and it has grown up with the country. Mr. Howard retired several years ago and his business has been man- aged by his sons. At the outbreak of the war, two of his sons enlisted in the military service, since which time the business has been managed by the youngest son, Eichard L. Howard. The older boys have now returned from military to civil life and it is the intention of the Howard brothers to continue the management of their mother's business and to greatly enlarge it the coming year. The Flower Shop, at 1415 Broadway, is as attractive as any in the middle west and is managed by Mrs. Howard's 1 wo daughters, the Misses Marianna and Lydia Howard. Ellwood Cooper. Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara, Cal., known as the father of the olive industry in southern California, died December 29 at the Arlington hotel in that city. Mr. Cooper was 89 years of age and came to California in 1870, since when he has been connected with agriculture and horticulture in many and varied ways. He was formerly president of the California Board of Horticulture and introduced many fine varieties of eucalyptus. He was the author of several books on the subjects in which he was interested and was widely read and well informed. He had lived at the Arlington for several years. H. R. R. John E. Williams. John E. Williams, who died January 2 at his home in Streator, 111., was known to the trade through his work as fuel administrator for the state of Illinois, in which capacity he proved a friend in need in the exigencies arising out of the fuel restrictions last winter. 18 The Florists^ Review January 9. 1919.

The Beview brings results. Roses fetched $2 apiece in good stores in Paris at Christmas. Easter this year comes April 20, three weeks later than in 1918. In what other line do retail merchants make such effort to depress the market on which they buy! The governments are releasing raffia, which has lieen considered an essential of warfare for nearly four years. The florist who does unto others as he would he done by never lacks for any of the things that make business good. If you arc sure your stock and your service are the best in your section, send word to the public. Hire an ad. Some florists can not get it through their lioads that times have changed, that bills now must be paid according to the seller's terms rather than according to the buyer's convenience. In order to stimulate confidence and further increase the transfer-order de- partment, two things are necessary: The florist who receives such an order must fill it, even if it entails great effort or little jirofit, and the florist wlio sends the order must pay the hill, not sometime but p. d. q. Transportation did not break down during the holiday rush as it did in 1917. greatly to the relief of all florists, many of whom had feared another sad experi- ence. Train service and wagon service are curtailed, but weather conditions were much more favorable than in December, 1917, and everyone lacing forewarned, serious congestion was avoided. It seems quite likely that members of the traile are themselves responsible for the public's idea that flower shortage and jiricc altitudes were worse than really was the case at Christmas. A lot of us are like the parrot of anecdotal fame in that we talk too much, but we are unlike that bird in that we have not discovered it is wliat is the matter with us. Prepare for a record Easter. Grow good stock; no other kind pays except at intervals. The men who could keep their green- houses going probably did about as well in 1918 as in 1917. Instead of trying to undersell your competitor, encourage him to ask as much as you. Think it over and talk it over. Express rates went up again January 1. The first thing the government does on taking control of a utility is to raise wages and increase rates, then it repeats, and curtails service. The larger retailers as a class are charging in proportion to the cost of stock purchased; it is the man who grows his own flowers who most needs education on cost-finding and price-making. An accounting expert who recently has had occasion to audit the books of sev- eral florists says that in no other trade of his acquaintance is so little attention paid to breakage and waste. These losses, he says, account in large measure for the absence of satisfactory profits. Taking the trade as a whole, florists start 1919 in better financial condition than ever before. During 1918 none of us was allowed to pile up liabilities — ^it was a case of pay as you go — and the good prices of the last quarter of the year made it possible to clear up a lot of old matters, to the great advantage of the debtor as well as of the creditor. The cost of living and of doing busi- ness continues to rise and, when it stops rising, will come down slowly because of the cost of labor. Labor complains of the cost of living and is itself the princi- pal factor in that of which it complains. But florists share the general view; we do not wish to see wages fall faster than commodity prices do, because labor has l^ecome our best patron. There are three big reasons why Amer- ica will not soon produce the plants which will not be permitted to come from Eu- rope after June 1. In the first place, we have too few skilled growers and no cheap labor that can be trained. In the second place, not many who have the necessary capital will be willing to invest it under conditions which can be changed by the stroke of a pen. And, finally, neither men nor money could overcome the neces- sary clement of time for plant growth. IT WILL NOT DOWN. The Federal Horticultural Board finds itself under fire for practically the first time since it was created; the board's previous acts have been with sufficient reason to pass without much jirotest, but its general quarantine con- tains so many points open to criticism that Washington is not likely to hear the last of it so long as the quarantine stands unmodified. At present it is only interested Amer- icans, whose business is hurt, who are carrying the matter to higher powers, but soon European governments are likely to be heard from and in the course of time the American public will want to know. The Federal Horticultural Board com- pletely disregarded the trade, after in- viting an expression of its opinion. The thing for the trade to do now is to edu- cate members of Congress and United States senators. FBOFITEEBS! OH! MY! The following is an editorial para- graph from a nationally circulated Bos- ton newspaper: Never, since greenhouses were Introduced Into America, have flowers been so scarce and so high as at the present time. Many people are remarking this fact, some with a disposition to criticize the producers and the florists as prof- iteers. The true explanation goes back to the supposed coal shortage a few months ago, when the greenhouse men had their normal fuel supply cut one-half. This meant shutting down fifty per cent of the houses, with a corresponding loss in production. It is safe to say that the flower growers are feeling as uncomfortable over the situation as are their customers, for they are making less profit than when fiowers sold for about half as much as now. Nor are they made happier by being told that there is plenty of coal. Profiteers! Those who call us that don't know. Every retail florist has been doing his best to keep prices down, many of those who jgrow their own stock even selling below the cost of produc- tion! THE REVIEW'S POSITION. The Eeview is the forum for the dis- cussion of trade problems, but it is not to be considered that it endorses the ideas of its correspondents any more than it passes an opinion on the success of a project by recording the news of its inception. THIS IS NO FABLE. There was once a boy in a florist 's store who made believe to himself he was the "boss." Whenever he made a sale he treated the customer as though he owned the store. Whenever he did any work around the store he did it as if he owned the place. Eventually he owned the place. CHICAGO. The Market. Conditions throughout the market from New Year's day to the end of last week can be likened to the calm that follows the storm. Business was some- what slow and there was plenty of everything to go around. Shipping business was badly handicapped by the extreme cold. In spite of all precau- tions a great deal of stock arrived in the market frozen and the same thing happened to a great many outgoing sliipments. January 6 conditions were better. Business picked up wonderfully and the wholesalers were well satisfied, especially when they looked back to a year ago this week, when Chicago ex- perienced its worst blizzard and ship- ping was tied up for an entire week. New Year's business, as a whole, was far above that of last year, both with the wholesalers and city retailers. The retailers reported a large volume of decorations for tables, etc., for New Year's eve, and most of them were swamped with corsage orders. Extra hands were necessary to handle the rush. The stock coming in is good and con- tinues to bring a satisfactory price, but, considering the fine quality of some of the stock, the prices are none too liigh. Rose prices vary little from those of last week. All varieties of roses, with the exception of Russell and Colum- bia, are arriving in good supply, there being just enough to meet the present demand. Russell and Columbia in all lengths are on the short side. Carna- tions in some of the houses are equal to the call and in others are overplentiful. Januauy 9, 1919.

A quantity of ex- tra fancy stock arrives and brings 8 cents. A good quantity of orchids comes in and just equals the demand. These bring a good price for this time of the year. There is just about enough valley. Violets are plentiful, a large supply arriving, with prices on the down grade. There are enough Easter lilies to go around, while callas are on the short side. Calendulas are in considerable de- mand, putting them on the short side. Sweet peas are not equal to the orders. Paper Whites are in limited supply, as are yellow narcissi. There is plenty of stevia. All other seasonable cut flowers are in fair supply, there being enough for immediate needs. Green goods are plentiful. Oovenunent Operation. Not all florists are enthusiastic over government operation of public utili- ties. For instance: When the cold wave arrived, Janu- ary 3, the government-operated express company discontinued pickup service in the Chicago market. High and dry it left the wholesalers and their customers throughout the middle west. A few of the houses have motor trucks at com- mand, but the majority were getting shipments to the depots as best they could, by messenger or even by taxicab, the cost being added to the "P. & D." Arrived at the depot express oflaces, shipments were accepted only subject to owner's risk. Under private, competitive manage- ment the express companies maintained service as long as the railroads could. Four Millions of Money. According to one of the financial authorities publishing an annual sum- mary of business in Chicago, the whole- sale value of cut flowers sold in this market in 1918 was $3,790,050, being an increase of five per cent over 1917. It is a fair estimate, and it gives an idea of the importance of Chicago as a cut flower market. The first part of 1918 was the worst the Chicago market has known, because Jancabt 9, 1919.

In October a boom came on, continuing through the final quarter of the year. Leading growers who were able to maintain production have stated that their sales during the last three months of tKe year were as large as for the first nine months. An 24 The Florists^ Review Jandahy 9, 1919. estimate of five per cent increase in sales for the year, taking the market as a whole, is conservative. Some houses made splendid increases. It is difficult to estimate the sales in dollars, due to the disinclination of most of the wholesale houses to reveal the exact size of their business, and because of a considerable element of duplication, sales to other wholesalers which would appear twice in the total. There are about twenty exclusively wholesale cut flower houses in this mar- ket, with half a dozen others which do both wholesale and retail business. At the head of the list are four with an- nual sales of from $400,000 to $600,000. Unless these four largest wholesalers do more business than all the others put together, which seems unlikely, an estimate of $3,790,050 for the whole market is conservative* Decembor Weather. December was an easy month on the coal pile, but a hard one on the stock. The mean temperature of 37.8 degrees made it the warmest December since 1889, but it also was the darkest, there being only three-quarters of the usual number of hours of sunshine. In per- centage the possible number of hours of sun were only thirty per cent, whereas an average December gives forty per cent. The mild temperature made it possible to save coal and to produce a greater quantity of stock, but the absence of sun made it difficult to sup- ply nice, crisp flowers of good, clear, bright color. Various Notes. Albert Marck, for twelve years with A. L. Miller, Jamaica, L. I., and later in business for himself, has assumed charge of the plant department of Poehl- manu Bros. Co., at Morton Grove. Kennicott Bros. Co. has the full force working again after many being away from work on account of influenza. This concern was badly handicapped on this account during the holiday rush. During the war the Masonic lodges curtailed floral decorations at their special meetings and entertainments. The ban has lifted and many florists who catered to this trade before the war state that the fraternity is again ordering plants and cut flowers for dec- orative purposes in the old manner. The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- ciation will hold its semiannual meet- ing of directors at the corporation's of- fice January 14. During the recent extreme cold spell and blizzard the fireman at George Eein- berg's left without notice, but before any heavy damage was done Mr. Bein- berg and some of his men started up the fires, which were slowly going down. Nicholas Karthauser, proprietor of the restaurant and summer garden on the Ridge, died January 4. Mr. Kar- thauser, although not a florist, is well known in the trade, having entertained the Chicago Florists' Club, of which he was a member, for many years. S. J. Pearce is doing well with his cold storage giganteums. They are giv- ing two, three and occasionally four clean flowers to the bulb and are selling briskly. W. W.

Mrs. Reburn has been in the American hospital for two weeks with double pneumonia. John A. Michal intends to resume control of the greenhouses at 7045-47 Stony Island avenue, leased for the last two years to his brother, Joseph Michal. He will continue the retail business and grow for the wholesale market as well. It was August Poehlmann's lot to spend the holidays in bed, with the "flu." He has not been dangerously ill, but it is the doctor's orders that he take things easily for a while. That 1918 was the best year in the history of the Weiland and Risch inter- ests, either partnership or corporate, is the report of John P. Risch. He says, however, that the first nine months were poor and that he attributes the profits of the last quarter to the disaster which overtook the country in the form of an epidemic. He figures that peace was only of secondary influence on the sale of flowers. Mary Garden, whom we scarcely need designate as "of" or "the," has a pleasant little habit in line with our trade slogan, "Sa^ It with Flowers."

The changed business outlook has re- sulted in opening negotiations which may lead to several interesting changes among growers and wholesalers. Many of the wholesalers and growers attended the funeral of W. H. Amling, at Melrose Park, January 7, or sent flowers. Mr. Amling was well liked and universally esteemed. Indicating his belief in continued activity in the florists' trade, Joseph Foerster says conservative financial management will be the principal fac- tor in determining the duration of each individual's present prosperity. Visitors. Fred Henoch, of the Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind., called on several of the large wholesale supply houses while in the market the early part of the week. Mr. Henoch has recovered from a recent illness, this being his first visit in many months. E. A. Fetters, of Detroit, Mich., was in the market the early part of the week. Henry M.

While not so large as Christmas, the business done for this holiday was much better than last year. Since New Year's a cold wave has hit the city. The temperature dropped be- low zero, which taxed the capacity of the growers' boilers and some shipments came in frozen. Stock has become scarce. Still, there is enough coming in for the demand, as business is not any too good with the retailers. Koses are none too many, as the ma- jority of local rose growers have gone off crop. Fancy grades in Russell, Co- lumbia and Ophelia are in demand. Car- nations are not so plentiful as they were a week ago. The best grades are held at $5 per hundred. Enchantress varieties have the call. Bulbous stock is scarce this season, with Paper Whites holding at 8 cents and cleaning up daily at this price. Easter lilies, valley and freesias are in request and not enough are coming in for the demand. Violets have not been sell- ing well this season and quite a good crop now is coming in. Sweet peas are limited to small lots and sell well. In greens, smilax, asparagus, galax and ferns sell well. Various Notes.

There was a small active market at Nevf Year's, with prices lower than at Christmas. The amount of business was limited to the moderate production. The rose crops had passed. There was the light, everyday supply, with no re- serve to draw upon. The New Year's business was larger than that of a year ago, but not nearly so large as that of several years back. There is a marked change in the complexion of the stock. The falling off in the receipts of roses has been partly made up by larger re- ceipts of lilacs and snapdragons and by the early arrival of freesia, which prom- ises to be plentiful soon, as well as by more Paper White narcissi and by a few Soleil d'Or. The surprise of the week has been the reappearance of val- ley, at a fifty per cent advance. There are a few more callas. Bud-dropping has marred the expected crop of sweet peas. Carnations are not more plenti- ful. Violets are scarce. Prices con- tinue on a higher scale than usual. There is no appearance of the usual early January falling off in the demand. The arrival of severe weather has had a stimulating effect on business. The Labor Situation. There has been a marked change in the labor situation during the last two months. With the cessation of orders for war materials, the completion of or- ders now on hand and the return of men from the camps, there has been a steady increase in the number of men and women who are seeking employ- ment in peaceful avocations. A prom- inent grower who has been running his place short-handed, like many others, for a long time, says that he is now able to get all the help he wants on his own Jerms, not on the applicant's terms, as »^ the past. When asked what these terms were, he replied that they were BERGER BROS.

This is understood to be for unskilled labor. Discussing the question, one of the large growers said that, while salaries were high, those who held their positions during the war would not be asked to accept a reduc- tion, but, should they wish to leave, new men would not be engaged at the same figures. In other words, he would stand by those who had stood by him. This seems sound business. The Big Three. There are three growers whose places are side by side on the Mount Airy turnpike, who have national reputations. The visitor to one place would naturally visit the other two, should time permit. All three places have grown so large that it is no easy matter to see or to describe all of them at one time, so we will take them one at a time, as there is friendly rivalry among them. The question of precedence is settled alpha- betically. Mr. Farenwald, of Roslyn. Adolph Farenwald is one of the ablest rose growers in America today. He has built a large range of glass and suc- cessfully managed it for over a score of years. He has taken up and handled Lilac, Peas, Pansies and all Novelties Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. 1517 Sansom Street, Philadelphia Wc close at 5 p. m. Mention The Reylew when yon write. different varieties of roses with remark- able skill and he has shown skill in handling plants other than roses for cut flowers, in times of emergency when something had to be done. Left almost without help last summer and fall, Mr. Farenwald 's place nevertheless does him credit. It is in fair shape today, a marvellous showing, considering that it has had less than one-third the usual amount of labor expended on it. Mr. Farenwald has been resourceful and he has worked hard. He has made his work tell, too. Mrs. George Shawyer is Mr. Faren- wald's best rose today. Next come Mrs. Charles Russell and American Beauty. There probably would not be any other varieties of roses or any other plants than roses but for the labor shortage, but there are some space fillers and they look well, too. January 9, 1910.

Mention The Review when you write. The pride of the place today is the compressed air system for pumping water, and the manure tank, which sup- ply great quantities of clear water and of liquid manure, respectively. The first was put in to avoid impure water and the second to conserve plant food. The water system is complete. An artesian well has replaced the alum- tainted spring. The well water is lifted by compressed air, another pump forc- ing the water through the system. A pond is fed by the drain of water, or overflow from the greenhouses, giving a supply of manure water which can be strengthened or diluted as desired. To illustrate how he got through, Mr. Farenwald said that he watered one large section in three hours by using many pieces of hose all on different spigots, turning each spigot on full force and moving them all as fast as the soil within reach got soaked. The success of this scheme was due to slopes downhill in the rose bed, the watering being commenced at the upper end and continued to the lower until all the plants had enjoyed a good drink. No one can visit Mr. Farenwald 's place without realizing that Mr. Faren- wald himself is the magnet. The men who call him familiarly Fernwold, frankly admit that he thoroughly un- derstands his business, although they are not always quite sure whether or not he is laughing at them. Whether in fun or in earnest, Mr. Farenwald is always worth hearing. His statements in the second case can be safely ac- cepted in tbto, while those in the first may be taken cum grano sails.

The extraordinary conditions which have prevailed in the cut flower market were intensified during the last week, which proved to be one of dark skies, fog, snow and drizzle, with only one clear day to relieve the gloom. Flowers opened slowly and boxes were hardly opened before their contents disap- peared. It has not been a question of selling the flowers with growers and salesmen, but rather of doling them out to regular customers as impartially as possible. Not half the number of flow- ers wanted have arrived and both wholesalers and retailers have had to turn down many orders entirely, or send only a part of what customers ordered. Prices are naturally high and nearly everything is selling at higher figures than for Christmas. The return of the influenza epidemic is causing an in- creasing death roll and new cases in the city have .iiimped to 1,000 per day. Fortunately, it is less violent than the September and October wave. Koses are not at all abundant and short-stemmed stock sells at from $15 to $20 per hundred, with other grades making up to $40. The demand is best for shorts. In the case of Hadley and Eussell, specially fine flowers realize up to $60, while the best American Beau- ties are held at $18 per dozen. Killar- ney Brilliant is now popular. Carna- tions make $10 and $15, with $12 a fair price for good blooms, Violets con- tinue scarce at $3 and $4, and sweet peas continue high. Bud-dropping, ow- ing to the dark, damp weather, has de- creased supplies. Lilies are in good supply and make $25 to $30, with callas higher than a week ago. Freesias make from $8 to $12. Marguerites, calendulas, wall- flowers, mignonette and Paper Whites clean up quickly.

Elliott, of Brighton, has been selected as the lecturer on floricul- ture to represent the Gardeners' and Florists' Club and allied interests which are cooperating with a number of other bodies for a week of lectures and discus- sions in Horticultural hall during the week commencing February 9. Mr. Elliott's subject will prove of great in- terest to both agriculturists and horti- culturists. There will be no spring exhibition held in Boston the coming season. Lack of finances is given as the reason for not holding one, but whatever the reason, its omission is greatly to be regretted. Various Notes. December, 1918, proved a remarkable contrast to the same month a year earlier. In 1917 the maximum tempera- ture of the month was 43 degrees, the minimum 16 degn^ees below zero and the mean for the month 20% degrees. Last month the maximum was 61 de- grees, the minimum 6 degrees and the mean 31 1^, showing the average daily temperature to have been no less than 11 degrees higher than in 1917. Bain- fall was light and sunless days were numerous. Fred J. Elder, until recently Boston manager for Lord & Bnrnham Co., now located at Cleveland, O., has been look- ing up old friends and customers the last few days. Mr. Elder states that a good many inquiries are coming in from prospective builders. His many friends here hope he may soon locate in Boston again. Penn had the decorations for the gov- ernor's inaugural in Boston January 2 and made a state seal five feet high and other elaborate pieces, the former the gift of the adjutant general and staff. The large quantities of flowers were de- livered later to mothers who had lost sons in the service. Only necessary business will be trans- acted at the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club January 21. It will be installation night and ladies' night and a pleasing entertainment, with a collation and dancing, will follow the regular meeting. Tickets will be on sale for the Victory banquet to be held February 26. Alfred B. Hutson, head salesman for W. H. Elliott, has been sick with the influenza, but is much improved. The Waban Eose Conservatories, Natick, Mass., are operating sixty-five per cent of their glass area this season. Except for two divisions of Killarney Brilliant, the only varieties grown are Bussell and Hadley. While the wholesale markets are bare of flowers, it is a revelation to look < ver the roomy ice chests of H. M. Eob- inson & Co., which are filled to reple- tion with the finest roses, carnations and other flowers to be had in New England. Much of their stock comes from their buyers in New York and Philadelphia. A big business is being done in artificial wreaths and loose flowers at present and the force em- ployed in the wire frame department is rushed to keep up with the demand.

The Arnold-Fisher Co., of Woburu, is sending in quantities of high-grade car- nations this season, including Benora, Matchless, Alice and Red Cross, Peter Fisher's new seedling, of which this concern has 10,000 plants. This com- pany also specializes in sweet peas. At the store of Wax Bros., Tremont street, all hfinds are kept busy with funeral work, which is of heavy volume. The trouble is to secure sufficient flow- ers for the necessary designs. Christ- mas business here was well ahead of 1917. Merle W. Farr has a house of August- sown Spencer peas, from which he now is picking nice flowers. He was troubled with bud-dropping during the late warm, damp weather. Another house of peas is only a few inches high. In the woodlands of the Boston park department all chestnuts are being cut out, owing to bark disease. White oaks, many of them splendid specimens, are likewise being sacrificed on the assump- tion that, with them out of the way, the gypsy moth will be lessened. Some lieautiful woodland is being spoiled with this idea in mind. It will be found that the gypsy is not at all a fastidious crea- ture and, if white oaks are unavailable, red oaks, scarlet oaks, willows, elms, hemlocks and other trees will suffer the more severely. Robert Montgomery, of Natick, had a splendid cut of Russell and Hadley for Christmas. His Ophelias were off crop. He is much enthused with Columbia. December, 1918, was a remarkably mild month. December 27 and 28 plow- ing operations were going on, there be- ing no frost in the ground. A year ago December 28 we recorded 16 degrees be- low zero and were cutting ice a foot thick. W. N. C.

K^^^^^^^^^^^Wf^irt.f^^<^^ r£S2LX3.X5LS3^X3Ji!]LX!5J\S^l^^ k Pacific Coast Department LOS AKGEI£S. The Maxket. The week following New Year's is usually a quiet one and stock is often plentiful, but this year was an exception, flowers of all kinds being scarce. We have had several severe frosts, more cold nights, in fact, than in any year 'since the winter of 1913, and this has kept everything back, even such hardy stock as cornflowers being affected. Outdoor Chinese lilies are usually plentiful by this season, but they are not in good sup- ply yet. For some reason outdoor roses have held up better than other flowers and some excellent stock is seen. In- door roses, owing to the bright days, are still coming in fine shape and the sup- ply is equal to the demand as a rule. Violets are extremely scarce and the few that arrive bring double the prices of last year. Cecile Brunner roses and sweet peas also are high in price. Orchids are more plentiful and the de- mand for them is better. As usual, there was some demand for flowers for the Tournament of Eoses at Pasadena, but it was confined for the most part to the cheaper grades, carna- tions being too high in price to be used. Some of the contestants in the decorated auto classes used helichrysum with good effect. Over 10,000 blooms were used on one car. Various Notes. H. N. Gage, of Montebello, reports an unusually good crop of plumosus seed this year. Mrs. Helmer, of the Haley Street Nursery, Santa Barbara, made a flying trip to Los Angeles last week, looking up stock for New Year's. The death of Ellwood Cooper is re- ported in another column. The congested condition of the mails has made it impossible to fill orders sent by mail to wholesalers of late, the letters arriving often several days behind time. F. Lichtenberg reports a big demand for orchids in pots at high figures. E. Overstreet, well known to the trade in Los Angeles, has opened an attractive store at 318 West Eighth street, under the title of the Marcell Flower Shop. It is in the new building put up by the Marcell cafe and is located in a part of the city which is developing rapidly into a high-class business section. Mr. Over- street, it will be recalled, was manager for J. W. Wolters for two years and be- fore that was for a year with the Free- man Flower Shop and three years with Darling's Flower Shop. He has always been known for his artistic taste and everyone who has had business relations with him will wish him the best of luck in his first venture in business on his own account. The appearance of his store shows his ability as a decorator already. S. Murata returned from his trip to Japan December 30, having arrived in San Francisco December 26 and taken the road home by easy stages. He has been away since August and seems to be in much better health as a result of the change. His trip was saddened by the death of his father during the time of his visit to his old home, but outside of this he says he had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Murata and the two children will remain in Japan for a longer vacation. K. B. Van Woert, of the Santa Bar- bara Seed Co., Santa Barbara, was in town this week. C. Lewis, formerly of Freeman Lewis, and later manager of the Hamburger floral department, is now with the Ee- dondo Floral Co. Every member of the staff here was presented with a substan- tial cash gift for New Year's. F. Bor- den says the firm has had decidedly the best business since 1912 and that the loyalty of the staff had conduced largely to this happy state of affairs. H. B. Eichards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Florists of this city anticipated a big holiday business and made preparations accordingly, but they were not fully pre- pared for the actual rush which ensued. Even with all the extra help they could get, some of the downtown firms were forced to work all night Christmas eve to get out their orders. Judging from reports from various concerns, this was the best December in the history of the business here. Plenty of good flowering plants saved the situation as far as stock was concerned. Cut flowers were scarce in comparison with the demand and prices ruled higher than ever be- fore. An urgent shipping demand tended to accentuate the shortage. It was estimated that all the flowers shipped to outside points could have been used locally, but the shippers did not feel they could disappoint their dis- tant customers entirely, after spending so much time and effort in working up this shipping business in California flowers. On the whole, the flowering plants left nothing to be desired either in quality or quantity. It was noted at many of the stores that people spent liberally, the largest, finest and highest- priced cyclamens, poinsettias and other plants cleaning up first. Cut flowers continue scarce and Christ- mas prices still prevail. For instance, roses which sold for $2 and $2.50 per dozen before the holiday rush cannot be had now for less than $5 and $6. In the case of roses the cut is not below normal for this season, but the scarcity of other flowers and the extra shipping demand makes the supply short of re- quirements. All varieties grown ex- tensively in this vicinity show excellent quality, whether American Beauties, Eussell, Ophelia, Columbia, Hadley or what not. The continued cold weather, without rain, has shortened up the vio- let crop to such an extent that the offer- ings fail to go around. Shippers report difficulty in filling their orders. A good- sized cut of indoor-grown freesias and a large crop of outdoor Paper Whites arriving constitute welcome additions to the daily receipts. As would be ex- pected under the circumstances, they clean up easily. Carnations are notably on the short side of the market; the crop is late this season and heavy offer- ings are expected by the middle of January. Fine cut poinsettias arrived from southern California for the holi- day trade. They sold exceedingly well for New Year's as well as Christmas. Heather has been well taken also. Or- chids and gardenias are equal to the demand. With so many lines of stock short, it is gratifying to the trade to have plenty of greens. Various Notes. Checking up off Christmas business, N. F. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Baldocchi, was elated to find that all former rec- ords had been broken by a sustantial margin. His firm bought heavily to be- gin with, but found its stock of flower- ing plants practically cleaned up De- cember 23. Getting in touch with nurs- eries all around the bay, Mr. Baldocchi succeeded in rounding up more stock, enough, in fact, to keep men on the job nearly all night December 23 and all Cyclamen Plants Fine plants, splendid foliage, well set with buds and flowers 4-inch 25c to 35c 5-inch 50c to 75c 6-inch 75c to $1.00 8-inch $1.25 to $1.50 9-inch $2.00 to $2.50 Packing at cost WALTER ARNACOST & CO., 221 E. 4th Street, Los Angeles, Cal.

CAPITOLA. CALIF. BROWN BILB RJMCH, night December 24. He himself went home at 9:30 Christmas morning, hav- ing worked all that night and all but three hours of the night before. No telephone orders were taken at this es- tablishment either December 23 or 24. Business held up unusually well between Christmas and New Year's. B. M. Joseph says his holiday busi- ness was "the best ever," and the out- look is so favorable in his estimation that he has decided to make permanent extra delivery facilities which he em- ployed at Christmas time. Mr. Bian- chini, a well known florist, who has been with Mr. Joseph for some time, is new buyer for this establishment, succeed- ing A. Cuneo, who has been in poor health of late. George Wagner is pleased to announce he is back on the job for good, having received his dis- charge from military service while on furlough in time to enable him to help with the holiday rush. F. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, says his firm was taxed to capacity to fill its holiday orders. He has secured the services of Miss Kegine Bartlett, an experienced florist from Los Angeles, Cal., and now has three ladies on his staff. In this connection it may be mentioned that more women now are identified with the florists* shops here than in pre-war times, but their num- bers have never reached high propor- tions, so men formerly in the trade re- turning from the service probably will have little difficulty in finding employ- ment. A. J. Eossi, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., says, "Christmas business was wonder- ful, beyond all expectations." He S. MURATA & CO. Oldest and Most Experienced Shippers in Southern California 380-386 So.

The store next door, used for the display and sale of flower- ing plants, proved a big convenience. In view of the considerable amount of sickness around, Mr. Eossi was grati- fied to have his entire force of experi- enced workers on hand. He noted that people seemed to have plenty of money to spend, there being little hunting about for small cyclamens or other small plants. Mixed plant baskets arranged by Frank Pelicano, of the firm, sold especially well. MEXICAN IVY New Crop Now Ready EXICAN HUMBOLDT HyY EVERGREEN CO. OyerviHi.NMiMACi..Cal.

Not only did they supply a big dfemand for flowers and plants locally; they also shipped cut flowers on telegraphic orders as far as 3,000 miles and sent two large Scotch heather plants to New York, on which the ex- press charges came to as much as the price of the plants. Messrs. Shellgrain and Bitter, of the new firm of Shellgrain & Bitter, have no complaints to make over their first holi- day business, sales running above cal- culations. Manager Stelling, of the store of the MacBorie-McLaren Co., Powell street, says Christmas business was all that could be desired and that sales have held up well since. J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. McLellan Co., in closing December re- ports, finds that Christmas business doubled that of any previous year in the history of the firm. Shipping or- ders continue sufficiently large to cause difficulty in filling them, with the local demand strong also. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., filled a great many Christmas orders for violets, but he could have shipped a great many more, had stock been available. Now he is sending out large consignments of freesias and Chinese lilies. He looks for plenty of carna- tions by January 15. C. Kooyman has just completed plant- ing two acres of bulbs in Alameda, in- cluding narcissi, Chinese lilies, etc. A large shipment of galax arriving this week fills a real need. C. W. McGhee has a force of men digging and shipping nursery stock at his place near Loomis, Cal. His only complaint is that he has not enough stock to meet the demand. M. M. ST. LOUIS NOTES.

John J. Burke, formerly of St. Louis, now with A. C. Brown, at Springfield, HI., spent a few days here buying sup- plies. W. A. Bowe, of Barkwood, took a few days off after Christmas for a hunting trip. He reports rabbits plentiful and the number he brought back speaks well for his marksmanship. Fred G. Grossart 's son, Gust G. Gross- art, passed through here on his way to resume his duties as landscaper for the University of Nebraska, at Lincoln. Mr. Grossart has received an honorable discharge from the army. John Barnard, of the Bosery; the Bobinson Flower Shop and the A. Brix Floral Co,, all north side florists, say they had a most satisfactory holiday trade, better than last year. Henry Eniunds, A. G. Fehr and Gust Grossart, all Belleville florists, report they had a splendid trade, not only dur- ing the holidays, but for the whole month of December. President J. F. Ammann, of the S. A. F., pleased the local members with his St. Louis appointments. The County Growers' Association held its monthly meeting January 8, at the Eleven Mile House, as usual.

Ferns are in strong demand. Various Notes. The local florists have just received notice of the meeting of the Tennessee State Florists' Association, to be held in Nashville January 28. It was with a gn^eat deal of pleasure that the local trade noted in the issue of The Review of January 2 the appoint- ment of Karl P. Baum on the committee of American Products of the S. A. F. To be chosen to serve this important inter- est with such distinguished gentlemen as F. R. Pierson and E. G. Hill is indeed an honor. Baum's Home of Flowers is showing choice baskets of cut flowers, including lilies, Columbia, Hoosier Beauty and Russell roses and Soleil d'Or narcissi. Fine ferns also are featured here. A. H. Dailey has had a good deal of funeral work of late. A. J. McNutt continues busy. He has plenty of stock. Arthur S. Cohen was a visitor this week He reports business as good and is looking forward to a banner business in 1919. K. P. B. Crouch the Florist had one of the biggest weeks he has ever had just before Christmas. He had to rent a fltore next to his salesroom in order to show off his large display of poinsettias and other plants, which were beautiful and plentiful. Some of the poinsettias Bold for as much as $10 apiece. He also had some fine solanums, cyclamens, begonias, primroses and English daisies, which went quickly. Japanese fern dishes filled with small palms, heliotropes and begonias sold out the first two days.

JOHNSON 2535 Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, III. A HALF-INCH ADVERTISEMENT here will keep your name and specialty before the whole trade, at a cost of only 50c per week on a yearly order. What are they? They are 4-inch reproductions of Fraternal Emblems embossed in gold and the colors demanded by each Fraternal Order How are they used? They are attached to the ribbon or chiffon of any floral offering. Why are they of such help to the Florist? They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M, They save wire designs; for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and flowers as scarce and high as theyare everywhere this winter. They save lettering. Think of that. If attached to door badges alone, theyare worth many times their cost. What do they cost? They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen cash, and should retail for 50c each, or $6.00 per dozen. An order of two dozen ($4.00 c ish) gets the exclusive use of Frat-M's for one year in cities of 25,000 or less. They can be bought from your wholesale supply house, or the STATE FAIR FLORAL CO., SEDALIA, MO, No. 88 SPECIAL CARDS 1000. 3000.

It is true that several weddings and New Year's dances took place, but the call for that kind of work was light. Roses are the most prominent item just now and the demand for them is good. Prices con- tinue as before Christmas. A good va- riety is received daily and the stock moves rapidly. Scott Key, Hoosier Beauty and other reds are in demand, while Prima Donna, Russell, Champ Weiland and other dark pinks are much- sought for. Maryland, September Morn, CLEYELANI • • • X ilo ... J. M.

The demand for vio- lets is better than it has been, the price having dropped since the holidays. Their quality continues good. Excel- lent freesia is seen and is selling well, being especially appropriate for design work. The supply of carnations ap- pears to be as short as it was a month ago. Only small shipments arrive daily. Callas are good and sell nicely. Easter lilies, though not in large supply, fill the need. They are selling for $12.50 per hundred. The supply of mignonette is not large, but it is unusually fine. Calendulas are good, but the demand is small. A fair supply of Paper Whites is on hand and moves readily. Pussy willows of exceptional quality are avail- able. Little valley is seen, but there is no special demand for it. Cattleyaa and cypripediums are in the market, but they drag. A few fair chrysanthe- mums in the lavender shades are used for design work. Pink snapdragons are good, but the supply is small. The sup- ply of greens is equal to present de- mands, but the shortage of brown galaz is critical, since the demand is so heavy now. A good supply of potted plants is on hand.

The seed selling season has opened strong in the south. Deliveries are being made much earlier than last season. It will simplify filling the early mail orders. Walter S. Gibney, Greenville, N. C, took out a trade license December 26 to sell garden and flower seeds. The Manitowoc Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis., increased its capital stock Decem- ber 26 from $150,000 to $300,000. Several Holland growers have made, or are making, preparations to grow their gladiolus bulbs in the United States hereafter. Most of the 1919 seed catalogues show a smaller number of pages than last year, but it is not noticeable that the seed selling quality of the books is di- minished thereby. Seed prices are not likely to advance to any important extent beyond last sea- son's levels, with lower values at spots in the list, but there seems no possibility of an oversupply in any line. The Sloan Seed Co., of Stockton, Cal., has leased 5,000 acres of land in the Matoma tract near Sacramento for seed growing purposes. CJIean soil, natural fertility, control of the water supply and a favorable climate were some of the rea- sons given for selection of the site. Peas and flower seed crops are being planted. These seed crops will be followed by beans and milo maize. There is some anxiety in the seed trade in Nashville, Tenn., on account of the apparent shortage of cow pea and soy bean seed. There was so much drought that the fields were late in maturing and did not set a heavy crop. Then, when the plants were in the shock and in the stack, there was so much rain that losses were heavy. Most of the seed stocks contain so large a proportion of spoiled seed that they are i^oi marketable. As yet the market has not opened up, so it is impossible to tell just how heavy the shortage is, but it is reasonably sure that seeds will be higher in price than I^st season. As yet the prospect for a heavy crop of turnip and kale seed in this lo- cality next spring is flattering.

The Wisconsin farmers who grow peas for food purposes have used home-saved seed year after year until their seed stocks have deteriorated to the point where, according to the Wisconsin Seed Co., of Milwaukee, the product is so mixed as to have lost value. In a cir- cular letter the seed company says: Wisconsin dried peas have always brought a premium and found ready sale t>ecause of their superior quality. Year after year, however, their quality hag been deteriorating, until at the present time we find the stock almost unsalable. Something must be done to remedy this condi- tion. If the farmer does not grow peas suitable for human consumption, he will have a hard time disposing of his crop at any fair value. We caution the fanner this coming season to sow pure seed, not to keep the seed he has on hand from his last crop, but to buy seed from another locality and hand-pick it, making sure of absolutely the finest stock, so that he will grow a crop of good quality, find that Wis- consin once more can boast of the best quality of dried peas. Unless this is done and the farmers use care and precaution in growing their crops, the dried peas cannot be used to advantage, because even at the present time the green variety is badly Watkins & Simpson, Ltd. have mailed their new illustrated catalogue of Garden and B^lower Seeds to all their customers in the United States.

Fanoher Creek Nurseries, Fresno, Cal. — "Illus- trated Catalogue and Practical Planters' Guide Combined," ninety-six pages, in a tasteful cover. Some idea of the extensiveness of the stock may be gathered from the faqt that the business com- prises three separate departments — ornamental, general fruit and citrus nurseries — with grounds in three counties, one of them on the far south- ern coast of the state. Burnett Bros., New Tork, N. Y. — A well illus- trated, clearly printed catalogue of the various lines of stock usually carried by seedsmen; 100 pages, in a durable and tasteful cover.

On the cover are pictures of many varieties of roses and cannas in their natural colors. California Nursery Co., Nlles, Cal. — A neat, accurately arranged, well illustrated catalogue of ornamental and fruit-bearing stock, roses and miscellaneous plants. The book provides an opportunity for wide and definite choice, as it not only contains carefully classified lists of such species as arc peculiarly suited for California conditions, but also offers many varieties that are adapted for general cultivation. The stock of broad-leaved evergreens is especially compre- hensive. Many varieties of nut trees are listed. Saratoga Springs, N.

But with her tenacity, it is hoped she will pull through to share the successes, rather than failures, of her genial spouse.

Greenhouse Tomato IDEAL Ideal is a new Tomato, the result of a cross of Bonny Best and Comet, and has the pro- ductiveness of Bonny Best with the keeping Qualities of Comet, making it a perfect shipper. This Tomato has one Quality which no other Tomato we have ever seen has shown; the fruit has set in large clusters every two leaves on nearly all the plants. This makes it very desirable for the grower with low houses or the Carnation grower who wishes to set tiiem among his Carnations and thus add another source to his income during the summer. Seed is saved from the choicest greenhouse-grown fruit. On* ounce, $5.00; Half ounce, $3.00; Quajrter ounce, $1.75 American Bulb Co. 1 72 No. Wabash Ave. CHICAaO, lU.

Joe Howard, secretary and treas- urer of the J. Van Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona, N. C, says, * ' We had the largest business in our history last year. ' ' Fruit stock is scarce with the company, while there is a big demand for it. The Holland nurserymen are doing their utmost to ship large quantities of stock to the United States this season, taking advantage of the reopening of navigation and getting in ahead of the quarantine. There are less than five months in which to do business. There was less nursery stock grown in Tennessee this year than for a long time. This applies to ornamentals as well as to fruit trees. As a result prices are practi- cally double, on some items more than double, those of a year ago. The demand has not been up to expectations, so far as we have been able to learn. The pub- lic has shown little disposition to plant fruit trees and, as there was little new building on account of the carpenters and builders having been employed in war work, the demand for ornamentals has fallen oflf correspondingly. The gen- eral feeling is that spring will see a re- versal of these conditions. In fact, agents already are beginning to report heavy sales for spring delivery. THE OUTLOOK FOR 1919. "Business among the farmers has been brisk in this section. There is a shortage of fruit trees, which will, no doubt, become more serious later in the season, and even more serious in 1920," says the Pontiac Nursery Co., Detroit, Mich. "Due to . war conditions, we have been unable to get our usual supply of French seedling fruits during the last two years, and we think that many other nurserymen in this section have experienced the same difficulty. For that reason fruit trees are going to be scarce. In addi- tion to this, the labor shortage has caused the curtailment of the planting of large quantities of fruit stock, and this will affect the crop to be offered next season. All in all, it looks like quite a serious condition facing the nurserymen for the next two or three years, and it also looks as though there are going to be lots of buyers for the varieties that are scarce during the next few years.

Our business in this line has been good dur- ing the last season, war conditions con- sidered, and it looks as though we would experience a good business from now on, as it is getting better as the money stringency relaxes. "It seems as though the nurserymen who have stock to sell are going to have good times ahead of them, but with the present shortage of fruit stock, wholesale prices are going to be high, and retail prices, of course, will ad- vance accordingly.

The Florists' Review TO PROTEST AGAINST THE Horticultural Import Prohibition You are, of course, familiar with the recent ruling of the Federal Horticul- tural Board, at Washington, which pro- hibits, after June 1, 1919, the importa- tion of all plants and bulbs, in which the nursery, seed and florists' trades are in- terested, excepting the following few items: Lily bulbs, lily of the valley, hyacinths, tulips, narcissi and crocus — absolutely nothing else in the line of bulbs can be imported from any foreign country. [n the line of plants you may bring in fruit-tree stocks, seedlings, cuttings and scions of fruit trees, and you may import Manetti, multiflora and rugosa rose stocks for budding or grafting, but absolutely nothing else in the way of plants. Do you realize how radical and far- reaching this embargo is, and how se- riously it will affect, not only every im- porter, but every individual in the trade who handles bulbs, plants or cut flowers; from the largest importer down to the smallest grower, florist or dealer? There will be no azaleas, rhododen- drons, spiraeas, araucarias, dracsenas or boxwoods. Orchids will only be a mem- ory, and there will be missing in our stores and in our gardens hundreds of other varieties of plants and cut flowers for which, heretofore, we have depended upon European sources and which were profitable for the American grower to develop, and were a source of revenue to the retailer. Many of these subjects will never be produced in this country a.nd such that, after years of preparation, may become developed here will necessarily have to be sold at a price which will make them prohibitive to the average present pur- chaser of this class of stock. " One of the peculiar points in this ruling of the Federal Horticultural Board, which we are unable to harmon- ize with the board's effort to prevent the risk of importing dangerous pests, is the fact that they consider it safe to import Manetti, multiflora and rugosa roses for budding and grafting purposes, but do not consider it safe to let these same roses come in with named varieties, such as Killarney, Ophelia, Radiance or other sorts, grafted or budded upon them. The root of the Manetti, the mul- tiflora or the rugosa remains the same, but the top will be that of the named variety, i. e., Killarney, Ophelia, Ra- diance or whatever the variety may be, and it is absolutely impossible for an insect to be imported on the one and not on the other. So, why should these rose stocks be permitted to come in (in which only a few growers who graft or bud roses are interested or benefited) and the named varieties, in which practically everyone who grows and sells plants is interested, be excluded? Furthermore, if it is safe to import a lily bulb, a lily of the valley, a hya- cinth, tulip, narcissus or crocus, what in- festation affects the hundreds of other bulbs that are excluded which justifies the board to say: "You are not to bring in a dahlia, tuberous-rooted begonia, gloxinia, gladiolus, Spanish iris, oxalis, scilla, snowdrop, crown imperial or other equally harmless bulb?" There have been two meetings of the Federal Horticultural Board, at Wash- ington, D. C, during the last six months, one of them on May 28, the other on October 18, to which all interested in this subject were invited to be present and to offer protests, if any. At both , meetings the Nurserymen's Association, as well as the legislative committee of the Society of American Florists, and a number of individual growers were pres- ent, all of whom gave valuable data for the proper enlightenment of said Federal Horticultural Board. They were most cordially received, attentively and pa- tiently listened to — even thanked — for the information given, but that is all. Why all this information which was given in good faith has been turned down, the Federal Horticultural Board does not tell us; they simply say: "After June 1, 1919, you cannot import anything but the few items in bulbs, fruit-tree stocks and roses for grafting purposes noted above." Whether the action taken by the Federal Horticultural Board is in ac- cordance with the law as enacted by Congress, which created their power, we do not feel competent to pass upon, but we are satisfied, however, and con- fident that it was not intended as the spirit of this act, that the policies and destinies of the entire horticultural trade, with its millions of dollars of in- vestment, should be placed in the hands of five members of the Department of Agriculture. Your cdngressman has the means of finding this out, and if you will appeal to him for aid in the matter we are cer- tain that he will investigate and see to it that such power, if it exists, is changed so that the horticultural trade will be placed in the high position to which it is entitled. Finally: For more than four years our country has cheerfully assisted and helped to keep a great portion of the Belgian population from starving; this embraces the great plant-growing dis- tricts around Ghent and Bruges, where, before the war, upwards of one thou- sand nurseries were operated, a large part of whose products was exported to the United States. We have sent our kin and friends to bleed on the battle- fields of devastated Belgium to help to return these people to freedom, and, now that this has been accomplished and they are preparing to take up their cus- tomary vocations in anticipation of sup- porting themselves as they have always bountifully done before, and they come to us and offer us their horticultural specialties, as they did before the war, the majority of which we cannot procure elsewhere or which we cannot produce ourselves, we will have to hold our hands up in horror and say: ' ' While we have cheerfully helped to feed and clothe you, and while our sol- diers have died on the battlefield to give you your freedom, we cannot buy your azaleas, bay trees, Norfolk Island pines, rhododendrons, palms, your begonias, gloxinias and other specialties (as badly as we need them) because there is a Fed- eral Horticultural Board of five men in Washington who, while they have no record that you have in the past sent us any insect pests that have been danger- ous to our country, fear that there may be such pests hidden away in your country and that these might, in leaf or soil, escape the rigid examination which your entomologists give them be- fore you ship them, and that they might even escape the careful examination which our State and Federal Depart- ments give them on their arrival here, and thus become a serious menace. While you continue to have our sym- pathy, we cannot think of purchasing your horticultural products! " Think it over, and if you want to assist to place horticulture in its proper position, write to your congressman at once. He will stand by what is right if you submit the facts properly to him.

New Year's business was better than last year, owing to the large number of social events and watch parties, for which many flowers were used. A large number of corsage bouquets were worn by the ladies. Funeral work is not so heavy as it was, owing to a decrease in the number of deaths from influenza. The recent Soldiers' and Sailors' ball at the Colosseum was well attended and a large number of corsage bouquets were made for this event. The weather is cold, with little snow and not much sunshine. The tempera- ture fell to 5 degrees above zero Janu- ary 3. Last month was the warmest December for more than twenty years. The rainfall was 5.83 inches. Various Notes. The William Blackman Floral Co. re- ports a large business for the holidays. This firm enjoyed a fine demand for cor- sage bouquets for New Year's and the Soldiers' and Sailors* ball. George Blackman gave his annual ban- quet at the store to his employees, his family and relatives January 3, it being his fifty-sixth birthday. This is the fifteenth year that he has observed his birthday in this manner. C. L. Niednagel is off crop on roses, as he had a full crop for Christmas. He is cutting some good sweet peas. Julius Niednagel & Sons are having a great deal of funeral work. They are cutting quantities of carnations. Karl Zeidler reports a good business in funeral work. He is preparing for a heavy spring business. Mrs. J. C. Elspermann is using all the flowers she can get, as business is still heavy. Eoyston & Fenton did four times the business in December that they did that month last year, while the first four days ol January nearly equaled the volume of business for January, 1918.

Jancaby 9, 191d. ■riX- Greenhouse Heating SuBSCBiBERS 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 tor the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. SLUGGISH CIRCULATION. Please give me a little enlightenment on my heating system, as the circula- tion is far from satisfactory. The main boiler is a Moninger No. 927, rated for 9,000 square feet of glass at 50 degrees in zero weather. The fire pot is 32x51 inches and the grate surface is 27x51 inches. Only two of my greenhouses, one of them 25x125 and the other 20x70, are attached to this boiler. In both of these houses I want a temperature of 50 degrees, but I do not succeed in heat- ing the returns sufficiently. The boiler carries a 14-inch smoke pipe. The chim- ney is of brick construction. It is nine- teen inches square and thirty-five feet high, and there are no buildings within fifty feet except a small stable. The lower three feet of the walls of both houses are concrete, with two and one-half feet of glass on the sides. The houses are even-span and are fourteen feet and twelve feet high to the ridge, respectively. They are well glazed. A hot water heating system is used, with an automatic expansion tank, five feet above the highest pipe. A Honeywell generator is attached. The house 20x70 has one 3-inch feed, directly from the boiler, with five 2-inch returns, ten 1^- inch returns and a 2i4-inch main return. Are the feed and return pipes large enough? The house 25x125 has two 2%- inch feeds, twelve 2-inch returns and two 2 1/^ -inch main returns. The boiler has four 4-inch outlets and foirr 4-inch openings for returns. A rough sketch is enclosed. A. T. V. — Pa. So far as can be judged from the de- scription given, the boiler, smoke pipe and stack are of ample size and the radiation should be ample to give the temperature desired without using the Honeywell generator, which, however, we are confident has nothing to do with the failure to secure a good return. On the other hand, it should be helpful. The amount of radiation in the houses also appears to be ample; in fact, some- what less should answer. We are not quite sure just how the radiation is ar- ranged, but would prefer to have the return main from the smaller house of the same size as the flow pipe. While the returns, as indicated by the sketch, are well above the boiler, and the gen- erator also should aid in securing a good circulation in the smaller house, we prefer to use pipes larger than 1^- inch for houses more than fifty feet in length. Our suggestion for the house 20x70 feet would be to use 3-inch pipes for the main flow and return. Then run a 2^-inch flow pipe along each plate or just below the purlins and connect each of these pipes with four 2-inch returns. In the house 25x125 feet we would use three 2Mi-inch flow pipes, placing one under the ridge and one on each plate, a Q O a D D D D a D a a a a D D D a o D D a D D D D a D a o a D o a D a a a a D a D a I a D a a D a a a a n D a a a o o aaDaooaaDaaaDoaaaaaDaaaoa WHICH DO YOU Want?

It takes care of 5,000 sq. ft. of glass, and we could add 2,000 more. We are very well satisfied. We used a cast iron boiler before we had yours. It cannot be compared with the Kroeschell Boiler. Your boiler has certainly a great capacity for heating water. , Canada. Cast Iron Boiler Cracked in Two Years. We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. It takes care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; it would take care of twice that amount. I first had a new cast iron boiler, which lasted two years, when it cracked to pieces. The second was a second-hand boiler. I consider your boiler the best paying investment ever made. You can refer anyone to us. , Ohio. Kroeschell Versus Cast Iron. The No. 7 Boiler I bought from you is heating 14,000 sq. ft. of glass; I think it can take care of 16,000 sq. ft. I do not have any trouble to keep up temperature of 50° in the coldest weather. I fire only once after 12 o'clock midnight. The boiler has given perfect satisfaction. I have four cast iron boilers — like the Kroeschell best of all. If anyone wishes to inquire about your boiler, let them write me, for I think your boilers are good ones. , Mich.

The larger growers of this vicinity, including Louis Noe, Lincoln Pierson and L. B. Coddington, of New Provi- dence, N. J., are all propagating the rose Columbia heavily and buying freely of Premier. Coal of good quality is arriving and there is plenty of No. 1 buckwheat. Labor conditions also are improving, so that altogether trade pros- pects are looking up. Anthony Ruzicka, grower of roses and callas, has purchased the green- houses of Samuel Lum, in Chatham, from the Madison Trust Co., which re- cently bid in at auction this property, which comprises sixteen acres of land and 50,000 feet of glass. Mr. Buzicka already operates the large range known as Villa Lorraine Greenhouses, on the Stemmler estate, Central avenue, under a lease. He will conduct both ranges, starting activities in the Chatham houses in April. He will grow roses prin- cipally, which have been his specialty for twenty years. The Chatham range is admirably adapted to the growing of roses, Mr. Euzicka believes. A. R. BUFFALO, N. Y. The market continues short of stock. Cut flowers of all kinds are bringing stiff prices. Some of the prices are ac- tually unreasonable. For instance, car- nations, splits with 4 to 6-inch stems, sell at $8 per hundred. Paper Whites are coming in and demand $6 per hun- dred, the supply being only sufficient to furnish a bunch or two to a buyer. Boses are off crop. Not nearly enough are coming in to satisfy the demand and most of the arrivals are classed as specials. One must indeed be resource- ful to make anything on funeral work. Some sweet peas are to be had. They are of medium grade, but demand $3 per hundred. The retailers all have been praying for an early spring, so that they may stop worrying about stock. S. A.

Market conditions eased up immedi- ately after Christmas and New Year's trade was much the same as in other years. With the lessening of th^ influenza epidemic, the demand for flowers has so decreased that the supply is plentiful at fairly good prices. Carnations have taken the greatest drop in price. Plenty of good cyclamens are available, also primroses, which missed Christmas. A few chrysanthemums are still arriv- ing. Violets are scarce, but they are ample to meet the limited demand. Few sweet peas are seen and f reesia is scarce. Narcissi and stevia are used largely for bouquets. There are practically no lilies to be had. Greens are scarce. Various Notes. The Hartnett Flower Shop was burned out again January 3, the second time in the last four years. When notified of the fire by Henry Smith, Miss Hartnett, the proprietor, was able to save only the books. The fixtures, etc., fell through to the basement when the floor gave way. The Crescent Avenue Floral Co. re- ports a heavy crop of carnations of fine quality. The Florists' Club meeting held at the store of Freyling & Mendel January 3 was poorly attended and only routine business was transacted. A full attend- ance was expected at the meeting Janu- ary 7, at which a paper on ' ' The Culture of Cyclamens" was read by F. Hoek- stra, of the Wealthv Avenue Floral Co. A. F. C.

Ask any ten growers their opinion of the right width house and best arrangement of walks and benches, and six of them will come pretty close to agreeing. The other four will have very strong convictions that the other six are dead wrong. Based on what the six think, we went to work to design Standard Houses combining in their manu- facture stock sizes and shapes, and in a manner to eliminate all waste. Then we bought the material in large quantities, manufactured it and put it in our warehouses. Thus we have several widths of houses standardized; the length is only a question of more or less standard parts. Standard draw- ings, standard parts enable us to manufacture in quantities and sell these standard houses at lowest prices and insure a quick delivery. These sections are in widths from 40 up to 79 feet. E]ach one works out the greatest economy. to They are all shown in our Handy Hand Book. Each section is accom- panied by a good big in- terior of a house built that way. With this book before you, ^t's almost as good as seeing the actual houses. Mayhap it's even better, for you don't have to ask any questions, as each question is already answered before you ask it. Send for this iHandy Hand Book.

He knows, either by experience or from a close study of the subject, that the only businesslike method of determining material costs in greenhouse building is by the year — first cost and up-keep cost. CYPRESS, "the wood eternal" for greenhouse construction, is positively the cheapest wood to use, figured by its years on tlie job, without repairs or replacements. All good constructors in these days are insisting on genuine "Tide- Water" Cypress, "The Wood Eternal" — every board and bundle bearing the famous Cypress Trade-mark. Vol. 3, CYPRESS Pocket Library, is a little book filled with a big bunch of facts and figures about greenhouse construction— Drofitable reading.

A banner Christmas business was fol- lowed by an equally good trade for New Year's. The demand for funeral work has been so great as to set the law of supply and demand askew. Prices, which ruled abnormally high at Christmas, have maintained an inflation that gives slight indication of early reductions. The in- fluenza epidemic has broken out again in Providence. While it is of a milder form than in September and t)ctober, the num- i)er of deaths is sufficiently above the normal rate to be materially felt in the flower market. Various Notes. Samuel Eesnick, with J. E. Koppel- man & Co., is convalescing from an at- tack of grip. James Warren, Jr., superintendent of the North Burial Grounds, was elected a member of the executive committee of the Providence Central Club at the an- nual meeting January 4. Fred C. Green, superintendent of parks of this city, is recovering from a recent seYeJ?»Mtack of influenza. The house ',6£k Charles C. Bliss, at MatunucI[,;Was broken into a few days ago durihg^ the absence of the family and money and jewelry stolen. . Smith's Flower Shop, Westerly, made a specialty of narcissus boxes for the holidays, with much success. Charles Hunt, Burnside street, has been confined to the house several days with influenza. The greenhouses, contents and other property of the late Walter S. Sword, Clark's lane, Cumberland, have been sold to his son, Walter J. Sword, who will continue the business. C. D. Potter is having an addition built to one of his greenhouses on Elm- wood avenue, Cranston. Daniel F. Nolan, son of Elizabeth and the late Michael Nolan, died at his home in Norwood December 31 of pneumonia, from which he had been ill ten days, at the age of twenty-six years. After graduating from the Norwood grammar school he engaged in the growing of garden plants for setting out and had recently added a number of benches of carnations, with the intention of devel- oping that branch.

You41 want to build new houses, of course; that goes without saying:, but — the chances are you'li find it profitable, on looking: about, to reconstruct your present rang^e — to replace those sagging roof bars — to put in some new side sash bars and gable bars— to install a new ventilating: system and generally bring the place up to the highest point of efficiency possible, that it may kind o' match those new houses you're going to build. But you won't wait until the last minute and then go at it blindly. You'll profit by past experience and your own keen observations and — get your figures on what you need now. — we have them rcadfy— where'll we send them?

Mil v^^- ">;;vv-'--(«v^i>* EASTER LILIES FROM COLD STORAGE BULBS Are any of your benches empty f Then why not fill some of the vacant space with cold storage giganteum bulbsf If you act promptly, a fair pro- portion of the lilies may be in bloom for Easter, since cold storage bulbs give quick results and Easter this year is late. OT NEARLY enough lilies "^|k ^ to go around — that is the ^l^^l prospect for Easter. In rl ^U fact, one shrewd observer '"^ ^ has made the estimate, based on the ratio of the country 's population to the probable number of bulbs available for Easter pur- poses, that there will not be as many as one lily plant for each hundred people. Considering, then, that almost every fairly intelligent and well-to-do family will wish to purchase at least one pot of Easter lilies, it seems reasonably certain that there will be an insistent demand for every lily that will reach the market. That is not prophecy — Heaven forbid! — but just a little ap- plication of hearsay figures. In spite of the adage to the contrary, figures often lie outrageously. In this case the figures do not lie, not intentionally at any rate, but they are far from in- fallible. The Only Secourse. The scarcity of the bulbs in question, as most florists know, is due principally to the action taken by the United States government last April, in placing an embargo on certain imports, including Japanese Lilium giganteum bulbs. The armistice which ended the war was signed November 11, but the govern- ment order removing the restrictions on imports did not take effect until the close of the year, as reported in The THAKS TOV! One of the moit pleasant of the many Intereatlnff featnree of pnli- UaUnsr The Bevlew has to do with the invalnable aeelstance rendered by Ite readers. For many yean t£e~ steady ir'owth of the paper, partlcnlarly in cironlation, haa come principally thronffh well- pleased readers recommendinir it to others to whom it should prove equally helpfuL This assistance will he especially valuable now that the trade is about to enter another period of rapid expansion and will be thorouflrhly appreciated. Review of December 26, and was too late, therefore, to permit the securing of the needed quantity of fresh gigan- teum bulbs for the Easter crop. Conse- quently, the limited supply of quick- acting cold storage bulbs was the only recourse. The stocks of large-sized storage bulbs, the 9 to 10 's, were quick- ly exhausted, but several dealers re- cently have been offering the 7 to 9's. It is likely, however, that this size, too, will soon disappear from the market. No one would claim, of course, that the cold storage btilbs possess every de- sirable quality. They lack the vigor of newly imported bulbs and do not pro- duce so many flowers. But they are true "friends in need" when the fresh bulbs are unprocurable and are a veri- table boon in such an emergency as exists at present, when quickness of growth is the chief desideratum. Lilies from cold storage bulbs will be much better than none. As to starting the cold storage bulbs now and having the majority of the plants in flower for Easter, the present writer, like seedsmen and some others, wishes to display a conspicuous and positive non-warranty. The circum- stances that determine the fate of the plants are largely under the control of the grower, but even the grower cannot regulate the weather. He cannot roll back the hovering clouds or govern the direction of the winds. Facts in the Grower's Favor. However, the facts and probabilities are mostly in the grower's favor and the chief fact in his favor is the late- ness of this year's Easter; it does not arrive till April 20. And the added time in April is particularly helpful, on ac- count of the increasing sunshine and warmth. "A week of March weather," says a noted grower, * ' is equal to a fort- night in February." If that is correct, what is the relative value of two or three weeks of April weather t The cold storage bulbs may be placed in a temperature of 60 degrees imme- diately after being potted and may be grown continuously in such an atmos- Glganteums Grown from Cold Storage Btilbs» by tbe Orescent Street Floral Co.« Grand Rapids* Mich. 10 The Florists^ Review Jandabt 16, 1919. phere, or even in as high a temperature as 65 degrees at nighty until the flowers have begun to open. Do Your Ovra Figuring. It is stated that under such treatment, in late winter and early spring, the bulbs can be flowered in twelve weeks or even in less time. Do your own figur- ing, then, and decide for yourself whether you wish to undertake the forc- ing of a lily crop for Easter. Probably you will have to pay a little more than formerly for the bulbs; the increased cost is a logical and inevitable result of recent conditions. But you can charge proportionately for the finished product. Both the trade and the public are becoming accustomed to the soaring prices. Of course, any lilies that are left un- sold at Easter need not be numbered among the losses. They need not go to waste. They may be used in design work or disposed of in some other fairly profitable way, but are not likely to bring anything like the Easter prices. A Grand Rapids Lily Grower. The illustration on the preceding page shows a stock of giganteums that were grown for last Thanksgiving, from cold storage bulbs, by the Crescent Street Floral Co., of Grand Rapids, Mich. John Kunst, the proprietor, says that the bulbs, which were 9 to 10-inch, were planted August 15 and the photograph was taken the day before Thanksgiving. He prefers the 9 to 10-inch bulbs when he can get them, as they bear, he says, from three to five and occasionally even eight flowers, a record which the 7 to 9's could not be expected to equal, even at the same earlier date. "^In prepar- ing the (Jompost," says Mr. Kunst, "I used two 4-inch potfuls of bone flour to a bushel of soil; also two 6-inch pot- fuls of rotted and pulverized cow ma- nure to a bushel of soil, and mixed them well. I placed them in 6-inch pots and set them on a bench in a temperature of 60 degrees." Mr. Kunst states that he also is grow- ing 4,000 cold storage giganteums for Easter. As he started them early, there is no need of his hurrying them. He says he is "just growing them along easily" and will have plenty of time to harden them in a lower temperature after they begin to bloom. Rules and Exceptions. Growers are aware that the somewhat hurried forcing of crops, as in the pres- ent juncture, is not subject to the same rules as is the ordinary, more leisurely culture. The skillful grower will modi^ his usual methods to suit the special occasion. For instance, he has been ac- customed to grow his lilies in shade, at least for a time, in order ti> lengthen the stalks. But in this ca^e he may let rather less shade suffice, reasoning that short-stemmed flowers will be better than none. He may also be obliged to shorten or moderate the hardeniiiig proc- ess which immediately precedes the marketing of the stock. All rules, especially cultural rales, have exceptions, and the exceptions sometimes are more important than the rules. The grower knows that in this instance he cannot produce his best grade of stock, his crackerjacks, but that he must be contented with passably good results.

In last week 's Review it was reported that Max Schling sent out in December 667 orders, amounting to $5,482.50. This is the record of one of the largest re- tailers in the country's largest city and Frey & Frey, Lincoln, Neb., supply a report which will be of even greater in- terest to the rank and file of the trade in the smaller cities. Lincoln has a population of 60,000. Frey & Frey are only one of several florists who get the orders for delivery there. But in De- cember Frey & Frey had incoming or- ders from other florists which amounted to $554.25. The orders came from fifty- two other cities! This shows incoming business for this one store in a small inland city amount- ing to about $20 per day on the average. '^Welcome Home'' Window of the Fldschman Floral G>.» Chicagfo. HELP YOURSELF. Each retail florist's 1919 St. Valen- tine 's day business will be in proportion to the effort he makes, but there is an- other thought which justifies extra ef- fort. It is this: While many flowers are used for valentines, the custom of sending flowers this day is not as gen- eral as it should be. Still, flowers are better suited than anything else to ex- press the sentiments of the day and per- sons who once use flowers keep it up; they never find anything they like so well to send. Consequently, one builds permanent trade when one pushes St. Valentine's day. The taking of St. Valentine's day or- ders need not, be a matter of the last day or two only. It is especially a man 's day. Suppose one begins now and asks every man customer: "Would you like to leave an order for some corsatre bouquets or other flowers to be delivered on St. Valentine's dayt" If that ques- tion is put to every man, or nearly every man, who enters a flower store anywhere in the United States during the three or four weeks before PebruMy 14, who can doubt what the remilt wiU bef Suppose we all keep it up three or four years; don't you think it will make Januabt 16, 1919.

A great many florists, including some of the best, do absolutely nothing to create business; beyond filling each or- der to the best of their ability, they let further business take care of itself. But who ever received a parcel or a bill from a department store without finding in it some neatly printed little reminder of the store's other services? How many parcels, not counting fu- neral flowers, may be expected to go out of your store in the next three weeks? How many bills or statements go out February 1?

When the plan of remodeling Smith's Flower Shop, at Hutchinson, Kan., first was considered, it seemed to Harry L. Smith, proprietor, much like a gamble to take this step, in view of war con- ditions, the labor shortage, fuel restric- These Sticker Stamps are Bright Red. tions and the thousand and one difiicul- ties the trade was facing, with a prob- lematic winter season not far off. But Mr. Smith is an optimist and the work was begun in the early fall and carried forward to a consummation which justi- fies the venture. The plans were ex- ecuted under the personal supervision of the store manager, Glenn M. Felt, for- merly of the Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Felt learned the trade on the Pacific coast and the treatment of the interior of the store is suggestive of the method of the Golden State, with its lattice partition, willow furni- ture and tapestry hangings in soft col- ors. The display room is finished in ivory and gray and furnished an ad- mirable setting for the annual fall flower show of this concern, which was staged October 10, when the public was welcomed to its n^w home. Since that time everyone connected with the establishment has been exceedingly busy and several new assistants have been added to the force. The practical was not lost sight of in the process of converting the quarters of this concern into a model flower shop. Back of the lattice are the offices, a dust-proof basket room, a workroom equipped with work tables, storage for surplus stock, ribbon cases, box racks, and all the paraphernalia that go to make up the florists' equipment. A GOOD OTJSTOMEB. The following is from a newspaper published at Harrisburg, Pa.: "Florists declare that the $6 a dozen increase in the price of American Beau- ty roses is due to the fact that Charles M. Schwab purchased 100 dozen of the roses and cornered the market. Harris- burg florists are demanding from $15 to $25 a dozen for American Beauties. Mr. Schwab, they say, bought 1,200 roses and sent them to the families of Bethle- hem Steel officials at Bethlehem, Steel- ton and Sparrows Point, and also to families of officials of the Emergency Fleet Corporation." Fredonia, Kan. — Loyd C. Bunch says that, in spite of the war, 1918 was his best year so far, but he expects 1919 to be still better. 12 The Florists' Review Januabt 16. 1919.

CStN Wrm^y^ READEn^ PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM, Bay trees are not representative American stock. If the plant quaran- tine continues in efifect for five years, bay trees will become a curiosity in the course of time in the United States. Our soldiers fought to establish de- mocracy. Let us have some expression of it in the trade. Let us work up our native plants, or plants that have been naturalized at least, and invent a trade-mark, "Grown in the U. S. A." We should use our own arbor-vitse, magnolias or other native trees instead of bay trees, in landscape work and give the preference to the stock that repre- sents our country that our soldiers fought for, Harry Dubois, TROUBLES OF TRANSPORTATION, At Prince Albert, Sask,, we had a quiet Christmas on account of scarcity of stock. The demand was as great as usual and we kept our end up with our States brethren as regards prices and I believe we mentioned the exorbitant figures with just as sweet a smile and just as brazenly as we hear they did. But we could not begin to fill the orders offered. We are in the habit of supple- menting our Christmas supply of flowers from Chicago, but the express service in the United States is so poor since the government started handling it that it was not safe to place an order. Our chrysanthemums got caught with a sharp frost June 10 last year and the buds were all killed. Although it may sound improbable, the plants almost all came on again and we had a splendid crop of fine flowers for Christmas, I know this does not seem reasonable, but it is absolutely true. So fine were some of the blooms that they were snapped up at $8 per dozen, I have two or three grievances, but am too far away from the seat of the trouble to be able to air them properly. For instance, it used to take exactly three days from the time a shipment of flowers or plants left Chicago till we got delivery here. Now the best time your government-run express can make is seven days, making it impossible for us to import perishable goods from Chi- cago until a change is apparent. We tried a couple of shipments of asparagus in December just to test it out, and both shipments took seven days from Chi- cago, Now, your big growers are not always going to be running only fifty per cent of their ranges as at present and I have tried to make some of my JAMDABT 16, 1910.

But I am afraid from the replies I have received that it is a ease of "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." As they have no surplus stock to dispose of at present, they are not making much of an effort to have this state of things rectified. Your freight traffic is just as unsatis- factory as your express service, since your government took over your rail- roads. I have some cases of Paper Whites and Romans from France that passed New York October 23, and there is still no trace of them, and I do not now expect to receive them. My ship- ment from France the year previous passed through New York in September, 1917, and the delivering company here had the effrontery to offer me one of the cases in April, 1918. As far as I can see, there is only one remedy, namely, to insist on imports coming via England and Montreal, the way my Dutch bulbs arrived. Of course, if you people cannot get your express service made as efficient as it used to be under private ownership, we shall have to do the best we can among our- selves in Canada and cut out buying in the United States altogether. Your telegraph service is just about as bad. Recently we got an F. T. D. order for a funeral offering from Boston, Mass. The telegram was delivered the following day, when the funeral was on its way to the cemetery. And in con- nection with the F. T. D., I would like to say, our American brother florists seem to like to put it over us once in a while, sending local checks in payment of their bills, on which we have to pay exchange, and deducting the prepaid ex- press charges from the accounts, when we ship flowers to outside points for them. These are only small items of 25 cents or perhaps 35 cents or 40 cents, but it makes a man sore, after he has already deducted twenty per cent of his bill for trade discount. May I hope you will find some way of placing these matters before the proper authorities so there will be some im- provement? I am sure both the sellers in the United States and the buyers in Canada are vitally interested. E. J. Coster. SUNSHINE. Judging from the man 's position in the accompanying illustration, it is safe to say that he is perfectly willing to let his deeds speak for him. In other words, he is not ashamed of his crop, and the readers probably will agree that he has no reason to be ashamed of it. The man is J. F. Goetz, who has charge of "the greenhouse end" of the busi- ness of J. B. Goetz Sons, Saginaw, Mich. The crop consists of the new yellow, Japanese anemone-flowered chrysanthemum. Sunshine, which orig- inated with J. B. Goetz Sons two or three years ago. The other member of the company, Henry W. F. Goetz, mentions the fact that "all the plants shown in this view were disbudded to single stems." He adds: "Last season there was an un- expectedly heavy demand for these blooms in Chicago and other leading markets. We also had another house of Sunshine, grown in clusters^ but we do not think these were nearly so handsome as the flowers grown by the disbudding process." In directing attention to the photo- graph from which the illustration was made, the company says: "Please note the deep layer of ray petals, the large and high anemone center, the stiff stems and small foliage." Other particulars given in the description of the new variety are these: "The flowers are of medium size, about four inches in diameter; the center is a rich golden yellow and the petals are a somewhat lighter yellow. The variety is a seed- ling of Helen Newberry and has similar keeping qualities. It comes in bloom for Thanksgiving and makes a good pot plant, growing about two feet high." Meadvllle, Pa. — George W. Haas & Son have enjoyed a record business for the month of December, cleaning up all stocks procurable. "Tflagara Falls, N. Y. — Mrs. J. K. Cres- set, who conducts a flower store at 409 Third street, reported to the police Die- cember 28 that she had been victimized the day before by accepting a worth- less check offered in payment for a floral wreath. The check was for $20.50 and bore the signature "Harry Gilmore." It was the old game: The price of the wreath was $6 and Mrs. Crosset paid the difference in currency. The address given by the purchaser was found to be fictitious. m 14 The Florists' Review JANUABT 16, 1919. ■ ^*l:.'^9'_':^I:n^l/^*r■^r^_\9':[\9r'^*r^^9l:'^9r■^wl:l^9/:^\^r•_\^J■■\^J:[\^rl^r^_s9J:^^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS \i^/^\::r£\'uy»\'uy»^::rt!\vr^^^^^^^ casionally fed and were protected from direct sunshine. PETUHIAS. About the end of the present month is early enough to start petunias from aeed. If you want doubles, secure seed which is guaranteed to give a small percentage of this type. The most satis- factory manner, however, to propagate doubles is from cuttings, and if you have carried over some stock plants in a moderately cool house you should be able to get a nice crop of these cuttings now. Petunias are most satisfactory bedders; they also have much value for use in baskets, vases and window boxes. In the case of the singles, such charm- ing pinks as Bar Harbor Beauty and Eosy Morn, the California RuflBed Giant, white and pink, and a good blue are specially fine for bedding. VABIEOATED VINOAS. There is always a tremendous call for variegated vincas for vases, baskets and boxes, and country florists never have much of a surplus of them. If you are anxious to increase your stock, you will find a good crop of nice, succulent shoots coming up and these will root readily in a propagating bench. Pieces of the long, well ripened shoots will also root, but take much longer. Another way to increase the stock is division of the roots. Wash away all the soil from the roots before cutting them or pulling them in pieces. After potting them, keep them close and warm until they are established. Later stand them along the sides of a carnation bench and they will make nice stock before spring sales atart. I have mentioned only the varie- gated vinca, but the green form is also valuable and is by some preferred to the variegated. Some cultured people -class all variegated plants as pure freaks and refuse to tolerate them. They are certainly less popular than they were twenty-five years ago, but are, I think, entitled to a place in any garden. FUCHSIAS. Those charming old-fashioned plants, the fuchsias, have come back into favor a good deal during the last few years. It is true we never see the mammoth standards or pyramidal specimens which I well remember were great features at exhibitions in Great Britain in my boy- hood days, but plants of small size, in 4-inch pots and upwards, are in good demand. Fuchsias do well bedded out, if in partial shade, but they are also valuable in baskets, vases and piazza boxes, especially where they are not ex- posed to strong sunshine and are given an adequate water supply. In baskets fuchsias are grand. All varieties can be grown in this way. Line the baskets with moss before filling them with compost, which should be tolerably rich. Varieties not of a droop- ing'habit can be tied down to the wires of the baskets for a time and then al- lowed to grow naturally. The drooping varieties, of which Trailing Queen is the best, need no tying unless it is with the idea of covering any bare portion of the basket. As a companion plant, dot in a few of the Kenilworth ivy, Linaria Cymbalaria. These fuchsia baskets, if filled now, will be in fine condition for selling in May. Some pinching will be necessary, as well as the removal of ekrly flowers. Give them plenty of water and, after they are well established, give them liquid manure. Do not fill level full of loam, but leave a hollowed out space for water. Use three to five plants to a basket, from 3-inch pots, according to size. Fuchsias in baskets will flower the entire summer if properly cared for. Last season some of ours bloomed from June until November. They did not suffer from lack of water, were oc- FIOHTINa FIEIiD MICTB. . Field mice do great damage in some winters, especially when we have a lot of snow. They girdle many trees and shrubs, eat up tulips and other bulbs and also devour the roots of platycodong and other hardy perennials. If the ground would stay hard-frozen below the winter mulch, they would do little damage below ground, but in such a winter as the present, with soft ground when January came in, they are proving troublesome. If you discover their haunts, you can poison them by soak- ing some strychnine and cracked corn over night in warm water and dropping some of the grain down their runs. Fresh clover leaves, lettuce or cabbage leaves and parsley can be dipped in the strychnine and pushed into the runs. I have also found that if a little coal tar or creosote is poured here and there in the runs, the rodents disappear. Where trees are liable to be girdled, it is a good plan to paint the stems to a height of eighteen inches with creosote. It will not harm the trees. r:^^t^I^l-VS^Jty»>4W^'Af^Jlvs/4Pkg>(iy^^|.vs/J!ASy^^fy^[,\?^^ BEPAIBINQ DAMAGES. Examination of the individual adver- tisements of our retail florists evinces a singular circumstance. They all fea- ture a decided reduction in price. The inference is that prices have been con- siderably too high to suit the average purse. This is undoubtedly true and the experience gained in the brief period of exalted values should remain to forever prevent a repetition. Much has been said, pro and con, upon the subject, but it is undeniable that the sudden elevation of prices materially in jured business and served to counteract, at least temporarily, the splendid bene- fits of the national advertising. Nor can the nefarious effects be remedied immediately; it will take time. The habits of the public have been inter- fered with and it is realized that spe- cific effort is required to remold them. The welfare of the trade demands the elimination of great fluctuation in values. There is something radically wrong when an article which sold at $5 in the latter part of December is offered the public at one-fifth of that figure early in January. A comparative steadi- ness in prices, with extremes carefully avoided, should be productive of greater ultimate good. Of course there are times of shortage and oversupply, but they are invariably brief; and, as the trade is tolerably well organized, many plans are feasible for relieving the pinch of such situations. The retail trade is well organized, like- wise the wholesale section. It would seem that the growers supplying central markets could secure mutual benefits by getting together at regular intervals, with a view to regulating the all-impor- tant matter of supply. Without doubt, there is urgent need of concerted effort in this direction and, until it is forth- coming, conditions will remain much as they are. Mac. THE 'COSMIC X7JIGE. An intimate acquaintance with the personnel of the trade of the Sixth City and its environs discloses the presence within its fold of a few men who dream of the accomplishment of greater things. They are not many; they can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, in fact. A goodly degree of success already has crowned their efforts, but this is not sufficient. There is a keen desire to go farther, to perform feats of hitherto un- approached magnitude, to gain for them- selves the plaudits of their confreres. Placed in a circumscribed sphere of ac- tion, they chafe at restraints and, with an ambition nurtured by red-blooded young manhood, they aspire to broaden out and do something that will elevate their profession in the business world of the day. They are practical men who think success and are filled to the brim with the wholesome spirit of enterprise. May their tribe increase and may their salutary influence stimulate the en- tire local trade to the attainment of better ideals! A new business era is upon us and its full and proper real- ization requires awakened faculties. Wealth is more generally diffused than ever before, the gospel of flowers is be- ing preached by myriad voices and suc- cess and prosperity eagerly beckon the alert florist. The personal equation en- ters more largely into calculationia than at any previous time. Our great profes- sion is yet in its infancy and its future status is solely dependent upon the busi- ness caliber of its present members. May they all become inoculated in gen- erous measure with the cosmic desire to succeed. Mac. Januabt 16, 1819.

On Sea and Land. Each day brings to the office of The Review news of the return of members of the trade who have been in the fight- ing forces overseas, of soldiers and sailors from camp and naval station who are hurrying home, having received their discharges from the several branches of the service to which they had been attached. As the processes of demobilization proceed and the men in increasing numbers resume their places in the different departments of the trade, The Review will note their movements, which will be of interest to friends in the trade. News of those who have "gone west" and of those sick in hospitals "over there" or in the United States also will be noted from time to time, as it is received. H. F. VUeland Wounded. H. P. Vlieland had been with the River Falls Floral Co., at River Falls, Wis., for five years when war was de- clared. He immediately volunteered for overseas service, was accepted and has been in many engagements in France. He was wounded in July, 1918, and is now in the base hospital at Camp Sherman, O. Judging from present conditions, it may be some time before he recovers sufficiently to be able to go to work again, but meantime he retains a keen interest in all that con- cerns the trade and reads The Review in order that he may be primed for work when the time comes that he may return to his chosen vocation. Lieutenant John F. Dowd. John F. Dowd, Clarence street, Rox- bury, Mass., has returned from the camp at Jacksonville, Fla., with his commission of first lieutenant. He is the Vern L. Schluraff. son of Mrs. Andrew Dowd and is 27 years of age. Before enlisting he was connected with the firm of Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., Boston, Mass. Lieut. Washburn Released. Lieutenant E. B. Washburn, son of C. L. Washburn, and member of the firm of Bassett & Washburn, Chicago and Pasadena, Cal., was released January 9 from military service and has returned to resume business at Pasadena. Lieu- tenant Washburn was stationed in the Pacific northwest in the Aviation Con- struction Department. The Peny Brothers. Two sons of Wilford Perry, grower and seed dealer of Prove, Ut., are in the service of Uncle Sam, Milton at the navy yards at Bremerton, Wash., and Darwin with the 69th Balloon Detach- ment in France. According to letters received by his father, Darwin is ex- pected to arrive home February 4. He left Newport News June 29 in a trans- port bound for France. In one of many interesting letters to the home folks, written a month before the signing of the armistice, Darwin informed them that the war was over, but the kaiser did not know it. He also stated that he had recorded in his diary at that time a guess at the date of the cessa- tion of hostilities, which he missed by just six days. Lieutenant Stanley Giles. Lieutenant Stanley Giles, of the Ord- nance Division of the United States Army, stationed in New Jersey, deliv- ered an interesting address before the January meeting of the Florists' Club of Reading, Pa., on the subject of "Life in an Army Camp." Lieutenant Giles was in the trade when he enlisted and was a former president of the club. Harry Taylor Returns. Uncle Sam has released Harry E. Tay- lor, who has returned to his duties in the branch store of J. Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit. Mr. Taylor is a pigeon fancier and to him fell an unusual assignment in the army: He was placed in the sig- nal corps and his duties were connected with the training and care of carrier pigeons. He was sent to Del Rio, Tex., , early in 1918. Before locating with the Breitmeyers, at Detroit, Mr. Taylor was in the trade in Buffalo and Washington. He has been a Review correspondent for a number of years and will resume writ- ing the Detroit news-letter. Wounded Rhode Islander Gets Job. Oscar T. Boucher, who was appointed tree warden at Woonsocket, R. I., Janu- ary 6, is a member of the firm of Boucher Bros., landscape gardeners and foresters. He is at present lying wounded in a base hospital at Gervais, France, from injuries to his right hand, but expects to recover and return to this country in a few weeks. He is a member of Com- pany C, ij04th Engineers, and has been in France for several months. Until his return his duties as tree warden will be performed by his brother, Joseph E. Boucher. W. H. M. Waiting to Reenter Business. Vern L. Schluraff, whose return from Camp Gordon was noted in The Review for January 2, expects to again enter the florists' business for himself when conditions in the wholesale market be- come more normal. Mr. Schluraff ope- rated a retail store in Erie, Pa., before the war and now is manager of the West Pullman, 111., store of J. M. Coch- rane. Mr. Schluraff writes that "The Review came regularly to me while I was at Camp Gordon; in fact, I only missed one number." La Vere Brancht in France. La Vere Braueht, before the war em- ployed at New Castle, Ind., and Des Moines, la., is now in France with Company B of the 313th Field Signal Bureau. December 11, one month after the fighting stopped, he was located "south of St. Mihiel, France." Mr. Braueht writes that since he has been in France he has had no opportunity to visit any of the growers there, but hopes to get a furlough for this pur- pose before he is sent home. He is anxious to get some pointers, especially on rose growing, from the Europeans and when he returns hopes to be able to take a course in commercial cut flower growing.

Sec- retary John Young made fitting ac- knowledgment of his twenty-ninth re- election to office and Wm. C. Kickards, Jr., made his customary reelection ad- dress. Percy B. Rigby was the only trustee-elect present and, on being in- stalled, intimated that figures were his specialty, and as one of the ciistodians of the club's wealth he should consider it his duty to be continually on guard. Miscellaneous Matters. The report of the treasurer was pre- sented and showed a balance in hand of $15,556.12. The following were elected to member- ship: R. H. C. Bard, Syracuse, N. Y.; F. G. Sealey, 3056 Perry avenue, Bronx, N. Y.; O. J. Van Bourgondien, 147 Mag- nolia avenue, Arlington, N. J.; Bornatt Klugman, 3917 King's highway, Brook- lyn; Simon Schneirow, 3917 King's high- way, Brooklyn; Isadore Landsman, Thirty-eighth street and Lenox road, Brooklyn. Of these new members, Messrs. Van Bourgondien, Landsman, Schneirow and Klugman were present and made suitable acknowledgment of their election. Peter Henderson, D. J. Pappas and W. T. Homburg, recently elected members, were recognized as present and were compelled to complete their initiations by the usual platform ceremony. The following were nominated for election at the next meeting: Hans Schwarz, Biverdale, N. Y.; James Moraio, Rye, N. Y.; Anthony Moraio, Rye, N. Y.; Robert H. Lickman, East Islip, N. Y.; Joseph Lee, Islip, N. Y.; Frank Laban, New York; Mat- thew Sampson, Jr., New York; Max Leh- man, New York; Robert LaBau, New York; Isaac Abrams, Brooklyn, N. Y., and Wm. Doyle, New York. \ The secretary read his annual report, which was mainly a review of the year just ended. It showed that the club during 1918 had initiated fifty-eight new members, lost one through resignation and seven through death. The member- ship was shown to be considerably over 500. J. H. Pepper presented a resolution of sympathy on the death of Mrs. F. Milliot, of Yonkers, N. Y., which was passed and ordered to be entered on the minutes; and the secretary reported the decease of Geo. Allen, son of J. K. Allen, one of the oldest members of the club, and Mrs. McGovern, mother of two prominent members of the club. The president was directed to appoint com- mit teeg to prepare resolutions of sym- jiaihy in each case. / John Scheepcrs presented a memorial resolution on the death of Capt. Do Lamar, a generous supporter of the club 's flower sliows. The question as to whether the club should have its official dinner this year was brought up and, without discussion, answered in the affirmative. President Kessler thereupon appointed as a dinner committee Charles Schenck, Andrew C. Scott, Alfred T. Bunyard, W. H. Sie- brecht, Jr., and Emil Schloss. By resolution it was ordered that a committee on transportation be ap- pointed for the convoy of all wishing to attend the forthcoming convention and exhibition of the American Carna- tion Society, to be held in Cleveland January 29 and 30. More About Publicity. A short discussion of the work inci- dental to the national publicity cam- paign ensued. Secretary Young de- scribed many humorous incidents of his recent trip across continent in the in- terests of the campaign. George E. M. Stumpp in a few remarks spoke volumes for the efficacy of the campaign, al- though he probably would have remained silent had he not been urged into action by Mr. Young, who announced that the opening gun of the 1919 campaign had been fired by Mr. Stumpp, when he came across at the beginning of the year with his annual subscription of $350. Wallace R. Pierson spoke at some length of the value of the campaign. He quoted a story related by Robert Craig at the publicity rally in Philadel- phia January 7. Dugan and Hennessy were discussing topics in general. Says Dugan: "There's a moighty foine medi- cine they are giving out now; it cures anything." "Cures anything?" said Hennessy. ' * Sure, ' ' says Dugan. ' * How d 'y e know ? " says Hennessy. ' ' Know ! ' ' says Dugan, "sure, I've seen it painted on a fince! " Mr. Pierson told of the way in which the Hartford, Conn., florists had been affected by the spirit of the campaign and of his belief that the movement was giving an incentive to side issues all for the good of the trade. The Hart- fotd florists now, prior to holidays or special flower-using occasions, cooperate in the insertion of page advertisements in all the Hartford newspapers. He ven- tured the question of whether the New York florists were, or could be, of a suffi- ciently cooperative mind to do the same thing in New York. He believed they could and would if they realized the im- mense advantage to be obtained. J. H. P. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. San Francisco, Cal. — Armand B.

The fire broke out about 3 a. m. in the boiler room, putting the heating system out of commission and wrecking the houses. The most serious loss was in stock, which probably amounts to $10,- 000.

The Florists^ Review 19 OBITUARY Qeorge Couklln Saltford. George Conklin Saltford, vice-presi- dent of the Saltford Flower Shop, Pough- keepsie, N. Y., died suddenly at his home on North avenue, that city, January 10. Mr. Saltford was well known to the trade, in which he had high standing. He had many friends in Poughkeepsie, which had been his lifelong home, as well as among the florists. He attended the Riverview Military Academy in youth and later a school in Nova Scotia. He was a member of the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club, of Elks' lodge and of the Dutchess County Horticultural Society. He married Miss Carrie Gregg, of Goshen, N. Y., who survives him, as do his parents and his son George, 11 years old, and his brother. A handsome pall of carnations was conspicuous among the many floral offerings at the funeral services. William Aheme. William Aherne, a well-known florist of Columbia, Pa., died of valvular heart disease at the home of Mrs. Sarah E. Mullen, where he had lived for a number of years. Mr. Aherne was born in Middleton, County Cork, Ireland, August 8, 1848. He came to this country in 1873 and set- tled in Philadelphia. Five months later he removed to Columbia, where he worked as a gardener, having learned the trade in London, England. In 1890 he went into the florists' business on his own account, in which he continued until his death, at the age of 71 years. Mr. Aherne enlisted as a private in Company H, 11th Infantry, N. G. P., which later became Company C, 4th In- fantry, in 1878. He was commissioned first lieutenant in 1891 and commanded the company at Homestead in 1892. He retired from the guard in 1894. His wife died a year ago. Eight children survive. James Horan. Many friends mourn the death of James Horan, Bridgeport, Conn., which occurred recently as the result of pneu- monia. The deceased was the son of James Horan, founder *of the firm of James Horan & Son, of Bridgeport, with which he was connected at one time. He had been employed also by George Pflomm, of that city, who pays the young florist a high tribute for his faithfulness and worthiness. He was with Mr. Pflomm for four years, until the exi- gencies of war made it necessary for the young men to seek essential occupations. He then went to work at the Reming- ton Arms, intending to return to the florists' business as soon as he should be released from the work undertaken as a patriotic duty. He is survived by his wife and two children, as well as by his brother, Stephen Horan. Mrs. Qeorge F. Otto. Mrs. George F. Otto, wife of George F. Otto, well known florist of San Diego, Cal., died at her home January 3. She had not been well for some time, but her family and friends had hoped for a recovery. Her husband, daughter and son have the sincere sympathy of friends and members of the trade in their bereavement. Mrs. Otto has al- ways been keenly interested in both the store and nursery carried on by her hus- band and has always taken an active part in the management of the business. The many floral tokens and the large body of friends attending the funeral gave evidence of the great esteem in which she was held. A« D. Thomas McAllister. Everyone in the trade at Chicago knew Thomas McAllister, of the A. Lange force, and will regret his death January 11, after an illness of only three days with pneumonia. Mr. McAllister had been with A. Lange oft and on for fifteen years or more, being the oldest member of Mr. Lange 's present large force. He was about 52 years of age. He came from England many years ago and was for a time employed in the trade in the vicinity of Boston. He was a good florist and a faithful worker. On the night of January 8 he and Mr. Lange 's son, Herbert Lange, were the last out of the store. Mr. McAllister made no complaint of feeling unwell, but did not report for duty next day. He had no relatives in Chicago. A sister is Mrs. P. J. McGinn, of Worcester, Mass. Other relatives live in Uniontown, Pa., and word came from there that P. J. Reagan was on the way to Chicago to take charge of the remains. Interment took place January 15, at Mt. Olivet cemetery, Morgan Park, lU. jj|t>y{|{L^i^i!^^u*iLujiti^*i^i^^iiyjiiL!Jiiyji^ MOTT-LY MUSINGS F^1lyi^lytffi?^lif^l^^^l^^^ltY^?lf;^1?f^^ "The commission man comes in for a lot of adverse criticism frqm the small retailers just now," observed George B. Hart, of Rochester, N. Y., ' ' and until the florists can educate their patrons to higher prices, they will feel the ef- fects of existing conditions. For the present there seems no prospect of a change, the supply being unequal to the demand, which condition doubtless will continue through this season. I do not believe there will be a big addition to the glass area, for one good reason, that the growers will be satisfled to con- tinue for a while as they are doing, in view of the extra prices they will get with the restricted output. Again, undoubtedly it will be found unproflt- able to repair many houses, on which an extraordinary outlay would be neces- sary, which few growers will feel like undertaking. Our business, while far from being satisfactory from a general viewpoint, has been larger in volume and prices have been high," concluded Mr. Hart. • • * • "I would be pleased to extend per- sonal greetings to our fellow craftsmen," observed Hon. Frank J. Baker, of C. F. Baker & Son, Utica, N. Y., "particularly to those members of the F. T. D. with whom we have had such pleasant and profitable exchanges during the last year, but, as everybody reads The Re- view, I am glad to extend our good wishes through its columns. May the new year, ushered in so auspiciously prove profitable to all." Commenting on holiday business, which averaged up splendidly, it was noted that cut poin- settias have been superseded by plants grown in pans. The only left-over stock consisted of plants grown for cutting. W. E. Cahill, representing Roman J. Irwin, of New York city, happening in, extended greetings from Boston, his home town, where he found the growing of pansies was not a "heartsease." ' * Billy ' ' says his firm 's business is hum- ming. Enough stock cannot be found to fill orders. He predicts a boom among the growers of carnation cuttings. Blooms are now bringing 8 cents each at wholesale. Dr. W. A. Rowland, of Utica, indorsed this statement, saying his cut was handled by one retailer, who willingly paid the price. To be diplo- matic, the doctor tells his dental patrons he makes his profit in growing carna- tions, and vice versa. Fewer bulbs are being grown, principally for the reason they were not to be had, but P. M. Koster is one of many Holland plant growers who hope to be able to supply a full quota next season. Mr. Koster recently arrived on the Nieuw Amster- dam and will try to get the embargo on the importation of Dutch plants and bulbs modified before it goes into effect next June. He related an interesting incident that happened on the island where the former crown prince lives. The islanders were scandalized at the sound of merrymaking after 8 o'clock at night. They protested and demanded of the burgomaster that the ex-crown prince be reprimanded for such a viola- tion of the laws of the land of tulips. This was done. Mr. Koster hopes to be as successful in his efforts with Uncle Sam regarding the embargo. • • • • The Rosendale Flower Shop, of Sche- nectady, N. Y., enjoyed a fine holiday business, which would have been better had not a strike occurred at the Gen- eral Electric works just at that time, which undoubtedly hurt trade in gen- eral considerably. The ad of this con- cern in the pink section of The Re- view brings results. • • • • Robert H. C. Bard, of Syracuse, N. Y., sees a great future for the retailer who, as he expressed it, knows from grass to grasshopper, or in other words, is familiar with the business from A to Z. At least such is his expectation, and all who know "Bobby" realize that his middle initials stand for ' ' High- Class. " His latest scheme is to create a * ' wild garden ' ' from which to furnish the store through the summer with cut blooms. The idea is to plant groups of hardy perennials and the like in liberal quantities at his country home at Cross Lake. W. E. Day, of Syracuse, indorses the idea, commenting on the large sales during the holidays of assorted plants in baskets. Anything that fitted in sold, evidence of the varied tastes of the people. Bellamy Bros, and Gustavo Bartholme, of Syracuse, had similar ex- periences. In fact, cut flowers played second in many places, possibly owing to the scarcity of stock and the efforts put forth by the sales clerks. W.

It is impossible to guarantee the in- sertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions are received BY 4 P. M. TUESDAY. Besults bring advertising. The Beview brings results. The indomitable Belgians already are figuring on a date for resuming the famous series of quinquennial flower shows at Ghent. Send to Secretary Young for an electro of the S. A. F. St. Valentine 's day ad and print it in your local paper — for your own gain and for the good of the cause. The state flower of Bhode Island is the violet and the Botary Club of Providence talks of having violets planted on the grave of each Bhodeislander who sleeps in Flanders fields. It is a pretty idea. Night telegrams have been reduced in cost to the point where florists can use them freely in ordering. If sent to The Beview with regard to advertisements, Monday night is the last chance — part of the paper is printed Tuesday night. Florists who plant soft-wooded stock ill the busy spring miss a fine chance if they do not plant hard-wooded stock in the quiet autumn. Take orders all sum- mer and fill them in the fall. Get ready for it now by putting out some sample slirubs on your own place this spring. The Editor 's Desk has been decorated by a vase of double-flowered Primula malacoides, sent by David Fraser, of Pittsburgh, who says he has been grow- ing it for five years. He writes that it not only comes true from seed, but is just as free in flower as the type and much earlier, seeds sown in July making plants in flower for Christmas. The specimens sent were excellent. There will be small chance to import any quantity of Belgian plants before the complete quarantine goes into effect, June 1. A letter from M. De Smet, who, in addition to being an exporter formerly with many American customers, is sec- retary of the Chambre Syndicate dcs Horticulteurs Beige, states that there is extremely little salable stock in the nurseries around Ghent, with a shortage also of stock for growing on. The fuel market continues easy in the bituminous zones. It will be some time before kentias again become plentiful. The man who can be depended on for good stock well packed never lacks for customers who will pay a little extra price on that account. Belgian horticulture will soon be re- established, but without help from the United States. Our "Cootie" board at Washington is afraid there may be some- thing about the plants they can not see! St. Valentine's day for the trade this year will be what the retailers make it. If they advertise it strongly the public will "Say It with Flowers," but if no local advertising is done candy or tissue paper contraptions will be used instead. TIME TO STABT BUILDING? The building trades were practically out of business during the war. The big interests are making an effort to restart them as a means of shifting factory ca- pacity from a war to a peace footing. Structural steel has been reduced in price. The price of pipe has been cut. Large manufacturers have lowered the price of boilers. Machine-blown glass is cheaper. The market for lumber is unimpor- tant, as greenhouse material concerns have stocks of cypress bought long ago, while prices were lower than the present reduced prices. * The reductions in the prices of build- ing material are not accompanied by cor- responding reductions in the cost of labor, but are for the purpose of encour- aging the prompt resumption of con- struction work and to keep labor em- ployed. If building starts promptly, as is expected, it is conceivable that prices soon will advance again. "SAY IT WITH FLOWERS." Instances have been multiplied of late, in the thick of the events of this eventful era, of the utility of flowers as the appropriate and indispensable means of expression of sentiment. The passing of Theodore Boosevelt furnished a notable illustration of the mission of flowers. Notwithstanding the request of Mrs. Boosevelt, carried around the globe by the Associated Press, that flow- ers be omitted, flowers were showered upon the family home at Sagamore Hill beyond its capacity to contain. At the church where the last rites were held it is stated that "the chancel was cov- ered with floral pieces, including a wreath of pink and white carnations ordered by cable by President Wilson." One of the floral offerings was the gift of the children of the Cove school, which it had been Colonel Boosevelt 's habit to visit annually Christmas day, the first school the Boosevelt children at- tended. The boys and girls of this school contributed their dimes and pen- nies to pay honor in this manner to the departed hero, who had been their kind friend. They, like the many oth- ers represented in the floral pieces as- sembled on this occasion, found flowers essential to the expression of sentiment. Flowers will continue to be used for that oflSce, because there is no substitute for them, because they so beautifully and fittingly convey the message which can be expressed so well by no other medium. CAN YOU WRITE? Each week The Beview records events in some thirty to forty trade centers, from Boston to the Pacific coast. With so large a staff of correspondents it is inevitable that there should be changes, vacancies — it is the wish of the editor to have every important center heard from frequently. At present there are, among others, openings for correspond- ents in: Washington, D. C. Albany, N. Y. Syracuse, N. Y. St. Paul, Minn. Minneapolis, Minn. Omaha, Neb. If you have the gift that makes writ- ing easy, let The Beview hear from you. Correspondents should not be wholesale commission florists nor lady florists. MORE THAN ENOUGH. With all the protest against high prices, in spite of the uncertainty inci- dent to the reconstruction period, grow- ers who know how to find a market for their stock are clearing their crops and making ready for the harvest that the Easter trade is sure to bring to those prepared for the spring demand. The Beview is the medium chosen by grow- ers of experience, for they have tested it out and found that results brought by its Classified ads are more than suffi- cient to take care of their output. The Beview reaches all the live wires in the trade and keeps stock moving, as these growers know: Please cancel my ad in the Classified col- umns, as it has brought results. — Wolfe the Flo- rist, Waco, Tex., January 5, 1919. The four Insertions In The Review's Olassifled department sold me out many times over. — Carl B. Lloyd, Plalstow, N. H., January 6, 1919. Please cancel our ads on coleus, salvias, ge- raniums and heliotrope, as it Is impossible to keep up with the business brought by these ads. — Harglerode Bros., Shippensburg, Pa., January 4, 1919. 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 tlian in The Beview. CHICAGO. The Market. Shipping business is keeping up brisk- ly, but city business has fallen off, as is not unusual at this time of the year. Many of the retailers report an unusu- ally heavy demand for funeral work. There is a good quantity of stock com- ing into the market. It is of good qual- ity and for this time of the year brings a most satisfactory price. The price of roses continues to hold up, being the same as last week. Although some grow- ers are off crop, on the whole there is enough stock to go around, with the ex- ception of Double White Killarney and Sunburst. The latter is not coming in as plentifully as formerly; White Killar- ney is in good supply, but there is an extra heavy demand for it, due to a large amount of funeral work. Beauties are scarce, but in little demand. Carnations are abundant, there being more than the trade can absorb without affecting prices, which range from 2 to 6 cents, the latter price being asked for extra fancy stock which brought 8 cents last week. It is reported that carna- tions in large quantities, probably in- cluding splits, of which there are many, sold at $10 per thousand to department stores. There are plenty of orchids, jANnABT 16, 1919.

Mr. Grell and his family, with tenants, were driven to the street by the flames. Ernest Eober has been back in town for several days. For some time he has been in the employ of Carl Hagenburger, at Mentor, O., and looks to be enjoying better health than in many years. Many wholesalers and retailers at- tended the funeral of Mrs. Emily Prick- ett, wife of John Prickett, one of the proprietors of the Des Plaines Floral Co., Des Plaines, 111., January 10. Mrs. Prickett died of heart trouble January 7, after a short illness. She was 42 years old and was born in London, England. Funeral services were held at the family residence and burial was at the Town of Maine cemetery, Park Ridge, 111. There were many flowers. A suggestion that a memorial statue of the late Theodore Roosevelt be erected somewhere in the forest pre- serve district of Cook county met with the enthusiastic approval of Peter Rein- berg, president of the county board. O. J, Friedman has returned from a short business trip to New York. Mr. and Mrs. M.

Visitors. Rolf Zetlitz, proprietor of greenhouses at Dayton and Lima, O., was in the mar- ket last week purchasing rose plants for his Dayton place, which he recently pur- chased from the Miami Floral Co. C. C, Pollworth, of Milwaukee, was in the city the latter part of last week, combining business and pleasure. Mrs. Pollworth accompanied him. J. M. Johnson, of McKeesport, Pa., was a visitor in the local market the early part of the week. Two Minneapolis growers were here January 13, after a trip to Richmond for another look at Rose Premier, which they, are planting soon. They were Ralph A. Latham and O. H. Carlson. A. F. J. Baur, of Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, Ind., secretary of the American Carnation Society, was in Chi- cago the latter part of last week and brought with him a number of his new carnation, Ruth Baur, which he exhib- ited at the Chicago Florists' Club ban- quet, January 9, where it scored a total of 87 points. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. January business so far has been bet- ter than in other years. It has kept stock cleaned up, in fact. There was, however, an abundance of carnations the early part of the week, varying in quality and ranging in price from $3 to $10. The latter part of the week the market stiffened and carnations cleared freely. January 16, 1919.

Car- nations are more plentiful and their price is lower; lower by comparison, only — from $(i to $10 per hundred this week; $3 to $10 at this time last year. Roses are much less plentiful than car- nations. Their prices continue hif^h, especially so on the shorter j^rades. Beauties are in fair demand at good prices. The crippled flowers that usually appear at this season even among the long-stemmed flowers do not pass muster until four-fifths of their value is sacri- ficed. There are more sweet peas. Some of them are choice. Double violets have reappeared. Valley is still coming into the market. Cattleya Trianse is plenti- ful. There are hardly any other or- chids. Gardenias do not cut much of a figure. Paper White narcissus and freesia are both obtainable in fair quan- tities. There are a few calendulas. Business is light. Out-of-town orders are the mainstay of the market. The larger buyers show a disposition to take anything good that offers, when the price is not too high. There is no sur- plus except now and then in orchids and violets. The Florists* Club. The publicity meeting of the Florists' Club, held in the Adelphia hotel Janu- ary 7, was one of the best gatherings ever held under the club's auspices. There were ninety-one present at the dinner on the roof garden, which pre- ceded the meeting, while at the meet- ing itself there were over 200 assembled, including two ladies.

It was in every way a delightful meeting and one that will go a long way toward putting the club back into its former position of leader among the florists' clubs in the land. Such meet- ings as this will make the growers feel that it is a privilege to display their novelties before the meetings. The eX' hibits were: Asplenium Nidus-avis, from the Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote; Carnation Belle Washburn, from the Beckmore Greenhouses, of Wallingford, and fine roses from the Florex Gardens, of North Wales. The Men of Today. It is well known that the chairman of any committee is the man who is re- sponsible for the successful work of the committee. So especial interest attaches to the chairmen of the several commit- tees of the Florists' Club appointed by President E. A. Harvey. They form a group of the most active men in the profession, men who have the reputation of doing their work well. They are: Club room, Hugo Niessen; novelties, Carl A. Corts; essays, J.

It was a happy occasion. Robert Craig made the presentation speech. Mr. Roosevelt re- sponded and then shook hands all around. He said "Dee-lighted" to P. J. Lynch; he said "Dee-lighted" to Robert Pyle; he said "Dee-lighted" to every mother's son of us, whether he came from Philadelphia or from Fish- kill-on-the-Hudson. We shall miss Mr. Roosevelt sadly.

There were 33,000 plants, all told. It was con- sidered a bold venture and it was under- stood to have been most successful. What a surprise, then, to find that Victor Groshens has 60,000 Mrs. Charles Russell growing on his place at Glenside! Just think of it, 60,000 plants of this one variety of rose, none too easily propa- gated. Strangest of all, the three minors had their accredited representatives within a stone's throw of this great sight on their famous peace tour, and they never knew it. Do you wonder that they are still the minor papers? It so chanced that Mr. Groshens was absent from Glenside on that sunny afternoon. The 60,000 Russells were there, bearing silent but eloquent testi- mony to Mr. Groshens' work. The houses looked neat and clean, the plants healthy; not a plant of any other va- riety was in sight. Mr. Groshens' standard greenhouse is an iron frame of perhaps 29x500 feet. Each house contains three beds, each six feet wide. The beds are solid, with concrete sides. There are six rows of plants in each bed. The rule of the place appeared to be to give every respectable shoot one pinch and to keep ahead of the tying. The result was a large pro- portion of fine flowers borne on stems of good length and a total absence of crooked stems. The impression given by Mr. Groshens' place is that when a grower grows a first-class variety really well, he can do better with his whole place in that one variety than he can with a mixture, but he must know a first-class variety and he must grow that variety well. siaiiiiininoiiiiiiuiiiaiiinnniiicMiiiiiininiiiiuiiiiiouiiiiiimauiuuuiioiiiiiuuuaiiiiuwuoim j EDWARD REID SJl^i'; I CARNATIONS, ORCHIDS, I SWEET PEAS, VIOLETS I Remember: When they're Reid's, they're right.

CARNATIONS - CALLAS - MIGNONETTE - SWEET PEAS WM. J. BAKER, 12 South Mou str««t Phil&dBlphiA, P&. The street has always said that Victor Groshens made his work tell. Certainly the large place and the excellent order it displayed proved that this reputation was deserved. The cultural point of especial interest was the comparatively small portion of the plants that have been flowered for Christmas and for midwinter. Not one- half, at a guess. This may have been due to the fifty per cent fuel restriction. It probably was, as several houses ap- peared to have been cut back and started up into active growth at the end of November or at about the time the embargo was lifted. The appear- ance of things gave the impression that Mr. Groshens felt absolutely confident in Mrs. Russell 's ability to pay her board in the summer or at any other season of the year. This impression was strength- ened by a large house not yet cut back, which had evidently been producing freely throughout the summer and fall. The place is the place of a man who possesses skill, confidence and determina- tion in a marked degree. Various Notes. Alfred M. Campbell has leased the Ellenwood Greenhouses of E. F.

With the exception of carnations, which, consequent upon a greater supply, have declined materially in price, there is not much change in conditions to be noted. The buying is not heavy; in fact, is far from normal, but with the supply really inadequate and prices abnormally high, transactions are easy of accomplishment and clear- ances are made early. Eoses are most in demand and much more stock could be moved than is avail- able. The quality is fine and the grades in supply are chiefly No. 1 and longer. Some fine Killarneys are noted and the new rose, Columbia, is in exhibition form. The late planted carnations are in full cut and the supply is generous, but not enough to pull down prices far from the figures held during the holidays. Choice stock of Mrs. C. W. Ward and Benora bring slightly higher prices than the choicest of other varieties, which must be good to bring $8 per hundred. There is a good supply of orchids, both of cattleyas and the spray sorts, and the movement is good.

There were highly interesting addresses forthcoming from the twenty persons present and the evening was much enjoyed. Mr. Kessler presented each guest with a handsome matfiii case of solid silver as a memento of the occasion. At the publicity rally of the Flo- rists' Club of Philadelphia January 7, Robert Craig, in speaking of the value of a slogan, recounted that years ago the late Peter Henderson sought the aid of a local druggist for a preparation designed to kill rats and secured an ef- fective one. So good was it that he advised that the druggist put it on the market. Mr. Henderson, on request, supplied the name, or slogan, for it, ' ' Eough on Rats, ' ' a slogan which made the druggist more than a millionaire. James McCollom, for the last sixteen years superintendent of parks at Pater- son, N. J., and well known to the trade in this city, died January 2. Geo. W. O 'Berry, who formerly con- ducted a seed business on Broadway, Brooklyn, died January 4, at his home in Brooklyn. Recent visitors: Mark Mills and W. K. Harris, Philadelphia; J. D.

Ward & Co., has been confined to his home at 736 Riverside drive by an attack of tonsillitis, but was able to get about again at the end of last week. Manager Koehler, of the New York branch of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., says there is an active demand for metal wreaths. Arthur T. Boddington notes that the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Page, of Great Barrington, Mass., will be shocked to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Page, January 4, 1919, follow- ing an operation at the House of Mercy hospital, Pittsfield, Mass. Mrs. Page is survived by her husband and three young children. She was a charming and accomplished Edinburgh woman and will be gratefully remembered for her hospitality and kindness to visiting horticulturists at Brookside. She had been active in Red Cross and other women's war work since 1914. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Business during the whole of the last week has been quiet. Even the heavy demand for funeral work has been re- duced. Cold weather, accompanied by light snow flurries, has prevailed so far this season, little is being done in social affairs and the . demand for cut flowers for this purpose is small. The majority of people do not seem to be spending money for cut flowers now, with the ex- ception of funeral work, which has been heavy of late. The supply of cut flowers at this time is light, but is equal to the demand. Roses are the chief item of stock. They are of fine quality and have excellent foliage. The lighter colors sell in pref- erence to others and include Killarney and White Killarney, Ophelia and Sep- tember Morn. Shawyer and Prima Donna are of splendid quality, but do not sell so readily.

The supply of stevia has slackened up considerably. Sweet peas are scarce. Potted plants include cinerarias, prim- ulas, begonias and cyclamens. Well colored crotons and pandanus sell well. The demand lately for Boston ferns and palms has been excellent. Decorative greens are plentiful. Various Notes. R. G. McCarthy, of the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, Pa., had a good line of baskets and other supplies at the Hotel Seneca January 7. He reported excel- lent business during his stay in the city. The decorations at the shoe style show, which was held at the Powers hotel this week, were by George T. Boucher. They consisted of baskets of flowers and blooming plants. Mrs. J. Schult, of Hilton, N. Y., has a good batch of cinerarias coming into bloom. In the same house she is grow- ing gladioli, which are ten to twelve inches above ground. Her sweet peas are beginning to bloom freely. The Rochester Florists' Association held its first meeting of the year Janu- ary 13. As the association during the last two or three years has not been supported by its members as it ought to have been, steps are being taken by various members to boost the organiza- tion by procuring speakers who will give good, practical talks during the year that will benefit both the grower and retailer. It is expected that the growers and retailers of Rochester and vicinity will help to place the associa- tion on a more progressive basis. Herman Zahn, of H. E. Wilson, made a flying visit to Elmira, N. Y., Janu- ary 8. The monotony of blooming plants has been relieved this week by the arrival of well developed Dutch hyacinths, which, needless to say, sell easily. H. J. H. PROVIDENCE. The Market. Notwithstanding that there has been only a slight falling off in prices, busi- ness continues excellent. The local flo- rists are pushed on funeral work, which shows a tendency to increase because of the larger death rate from influenza and pneumonia. In this connection, how- ever, it should be noted that the number of published death notices accompanied by the request to "omit flowers" is noticeably larger than ever before. Roses are not in heavy supply and com- mand from $6 to $15 p5r hundred. Car- nations are $3 to $8 per hundred. These constitute the bulk of the flowers ob- tainable. Various Notes. Harry Oakley has closed his retail store on Mathewson street. S. S. Skidelsky, of S. S. Skidelsky & Co., Philadelphia, called upon the local trade last week.

NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. The last two weeks have been un- usually delightful weather. It has frozen every night, but the days have been warm and bright. The soldier boys have been returning home and the in- creased number of social functions has added to the demand for flowers. There has been a shortage of flowers ever since Christmas, in fact. This does not mean that there were not heavy cuts coming in every day, but that there was not enough stock to meet the large de- mand. Eose crops were timed so well for the holidays that roses have been scarce since. There is still little bulbous stock except Paper Whites. A few azaleas are finding their way to the light, show- ing that there were more carried over and grown here than we supposed. The quality seems to be as good as in former years, though the flowers are not large. The Tennessee State Florists ' Associa- tion is to hold its annual meeting in the Hermitage hotel in connection with the meetings of the Tennessee nursery- men, fruit growers and bee keepers, January 28 to 30. It is planned to hold an exhibit at the same time, and every- thing indicates that this is to be more than ordinarily interesting, as there are to be several exhibits of new things. There are some live wires in different parts of Tennessee who are working overtime to make the state a leader in producing new and better flowers. Various Notes. Prof. G. M. Bentley, secretary of the State Florists' Association, writes that indications are that the coming conven- tion will be the most interesting yet held, as the florists are especially in- terested in considering the changed con- ditions resulting from the close of the war. All of the houses that were abandoned on account of the fuel restrictions are rapidly being put into commission, and practically all will be well stocked by spring. Lee Geny is at home ill with the "flu" at present. Thomas Joy was in Chattanooga last week looking after interests there. He reports a growing business. J. F. Corbett has his entire plant in commission again and is using it all in the production of bedding plants for the trade. Mr. Corbett knows how to produce good stock and, as he has cut out the cut flower end, he will have more plants this season than ever before. Charles Trichler has a splendid lot of young ferns. His bench of Veronas is unusually fine. He also is propagat- ing thujas, biotas and retinisporas heavily. The Joys are doing a great deal of remodeling at present, putting in new benches, etc. They are making cement supports for all of their new benches. Leslie Littel closed his greenhouse for the winter and has been out of town of late. He will not open again till fall. There is undoubtedly the smallest stock of young geraniums in this city that has been known in recent years. This undoubtedly will be a petunia and salvia year here. Mclntyre Bros, have been having a heavy cut of orchids of late. They are dismantling their old place and will sell the land for building lots. F. B. Ask any Florist Who Uses the McCRA Y We are perfectly willing to rest our case with the McCray owner — and especially is this true in the case of the Florist. Ask him what he thinks of the McCray from the standpoints of flower con- servation and display of goods. For more than 30 years McCray has been building refrigerators. During these years our constant aim has been to make refrigerators that satisfy. CUV Florist Refrigerators maintain an even temperature of the right degree — that insures proper preservation of your flowers. Remember the handsome appearance of the McCray will add to the attrac- tiveness of your store. The McCray is more than a refrigerator, it is a fine display case for flowers. The economy feature makes the McCray an invest- ment that pays big dividends in increased profits — it stops waste. Every McCray is full guaranteed. Write TODAY for Catalogue illustrating various models of McCRAY Refrigerators for Florists, and ex- plaining the economical and money-saviag features.

HASSELMANN, Independence, Kan. the Saturday Evening Post, $5,000, looked like a lot of money, but business men who were anything but crazy were keeping on using such space year in and year out. To send a postcard to each person reached by a page in that publica- tion would cost $23,000, and then not tell the story so well. There was spent last year on magazines of nation-wide cir- culation $35,000 of the florists' publicity fund. It was necessary to interest people in flowers and make them like them. Advertising in the face of the unfavor- able conditions of last year was bold, but turned out to be wonderfully success- ful; even had it kept business only up to normal, it would have been a great achievement. It was advisable each year to keep on building prestige and adding to what had gone before. One cannot force, but may advise a cus- tomer. The January and February fea- tures of the campaign would be carried in thirty-three magazines, at a cost of one-twentieth of a cent per number of each, the slogan, "Say It with Flow- ers," predominating in all matter. Philadelphia's share alone of the cir- culation was estimated to be 350,000, and retailers should make the most of it. There were 3,000 birthdays every week in the population of that city, a florist 's opportunity in every one of them. Wallace R. Pierson's remarks were chiefly directed to growers, whose inter- est in the campaign should be para- mount, as they were the producers of the flowers to be exploited. William F. Gude declared that the publicity campaign was a great factor in stimulating the florists' business. Everyone was benefited, so everyone should contribute, and not stand aside and "let George do it."

Secretary Young spoke at considerable length, dwelling chiefly upon the advan- tages to be derived from a liberal use made of the various aids provided by the promotion bureau's signs, electro- types featuring the magazine advertise- ments, lantern slides, stickers, and so forth, all provided at cost and found to be great business bringers. The live members of the trade throughout the country were actively interested in the campaign, contributing their time and money to make it a success. The re- sults last year were excellent and would be better this year, as the movement was growing rapidly. As showing the interest already in evidence, he men- tioned that the first two days' mail after the bills to subscribers had gone out con- tained $3,000 and there was a pledged fund of $27,000 to start with.

Robert Craig, who was given an ova- tion, made one of his characteristic ad- dresses. Speaking of flowers, he said that love of beauty existed in every mind; some admired pictures or jewels, others horses or dogs, but everybody loved flowers; therefore, the thought of flowers should be constantly before the public. W. F. Therkildson, to whom credit was given as the real originator of the cam- paign, expressed his great belief in slo- gans, and remarked that he considered the slogan, "Say It with Flowers," really wonderful in conception. The campaign, he said, should have every- body in the trade back of it. A large sum was subscribed at the meeting. Florists from other cities present were: William F. Keys, Jr., J.

There is a strong demand for short-stemmed stock in other varieties, as the principal activity now is in fu- neral work, for which the lesser grades are preferred. Carnations have been off crop since the first of the year. There is no oversupply in any variety and prices hold up well, with $5 per hundred for the top price. The growers claim the crop coming on will be large, es- pecially if the warm weather continues. Violets have been in good supply and prices have dropped to $1 per hundred for the best stock. Sweet peas are sell- ing well, but the stock is limited to a few thousands, which clean up daily at good figures. Bulbous stock is not in as large sup- ply as in former years. Paper Whites are becoming more plentiful, however. Easter lilies and freesias are in great demand, but scarce. Valley also has a large call and fancy stock is not plenti- ful. Calendulas and mignonette are in- clined to be druggy, likev^^se cattleyas. Greens have been plentiful and the demand has been good. Qalax, smilax Flowers for all Occasions Tel.

Members of Florists' Telegraph Delivery The attendance was larger than usual, as thirty members were present when President Eowe called the meeting to order. There was a discussion of prices of cut stock for the holidays,. in which the members participated. It was the consensus that business for the season has been satisfactory. In order to increase the membership of this association it was decided to hold a get-together meeting in the near fu- ture and invite all the growers in the county. President Eowe stated that in view of the great good this association has done for its members, he sees no rea- son why every grower in the county should not be a member. The next meet- ing takes place February 5. Chairman L. Jules Bourdet, of the St. Louis Eetail Florists' Association, was present. Gardeners' Meeting. The St. Louis Association of Garden- ers held its meeting January 8 at the Forest park greenhouses. The follow- ing officers were elected to serve during the year: President, L. J. Jensen; vice-president, John Moritz; second vice- president, George Pring; third vice- president, Stephen Beer; fourth vice- president, L. Vanderiem; secretary, Hugo M. Schaff, reelected; treasurer, Ernest Strehle. Installation of officers will take place at the February meet- ing, at which the subject of discussion will be "Lawn Making." Various Notes.

Business has kept up well since New Year's, but flowers have been scarce. There has not been such a shortage of flowers since 1913, the year of the frost in California. Eoses received from northern markets have been disappointing in respect to both quality and prices. Good roses have been selling at a premium, long- stemmed Columbia having brought as high as $25 per dozen. No roses were sold at less than $5 per dozen. The local florists would like to have our friends in the east know that while it is true that this is a land of flowers, most of the cut flowers, except violets, are grown indoors, and labor and other expenses are higher here than in the east and flowers as a consequence are not grown in great quantities. We say this because we have received F. T. D. orders from eastern houses for roses for $2 and $3 per dozen, some of them to be delivered to points a good distance out of town. We lost money on these or- ders, but filled them to encourage the movement. All the florists here report good busi- ness and everything going well. The death of Mrs. George F. Otto is noted in another column of this issue. A.D. LOS AKOEIJIS. Tlie Market. The abnormally high prices have acted as a check to business. In the last few days a number of roses have been used in funeral work which a week before could not be obtained for any price. Carnations were reduced in price some- what, but still remain extremely high and in good demand. Greenhouse carna- tions are selling at prices hitherto un- heard-of in the surrounding towns. The city retailers are still busy with funeral work, of which there seems to be no end. I Outside of this there is little doing. Be- M sides the two principal items of stock, i there are good small flowers of all kinds, I but in limited supply. Freesias are com- I ing in, but they are few in number and high in price. The run on strawflowers and other everlastings continues, Callas are scarce, owing to frost in some of the northern localities. They are in good demand, owing to the shortage of Easter lilies. Greens as a rule are on the short side also. The nurserymen all report an awaken- ing of interest in their stocks and all are looking forward to a great season's business. Already nursery stock is mov- ing freely and inquiries from other sec- tions show that the demand is good. The fruit tree men are well sold up, although the retail trade has hardly started, and It looks as though it will be hard to ob- tain the popular varieties in these lines. I As the weather becomes warmer there ' "Will be a movement of palms to the east, several growers having sold car- load lots. The frost reported from some localities does not appear to have harmed lath-house stock, while in the more favored spots Cocos plumosa is green and looks as well as in Septem- ber. Well developed plants fit for ship- ping are likely to be in short supply. Various Notes. By a recent arrangement, Tony Tas- sano becomes sole proprietor of the busi- ness of Tassano Bros,, on Wall street, also of the nursery and growing grounds at Glendale. Angelo, his brother, is tak- ing over the place at Artesia and will grow stock there for the firm. He is considering the erection of a large range of glass there, W. Armacost & Co. are showing the finest Bussell roses ever seen on this market, their grower evidently having hit upon the right treatment for this magnificent rose. The new rose Colum- bia also is exceptionally fine, not only in the flowers but in the foliage as well, which is of a hard, healthy appearance and free from blemish of any kind. Naturally such stock commands high prices. F. Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., started on a business trip to Bakersfield, January 6. F. Howard, of Howard & Smith, is in San Diego this week. J. Austin Shaw, who is visiting in Hollywood, is an occasional caller and reports having experienced much relief from his lameness since coming to Cali- fornia. A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral Co., is quarantined at home on account of Mrs. Borden being ill with influenza. Mr. Borden had a slight attack of the disease a week ago, but recovered quickly. On account of many of the men promi- nent in the trade being out of town or ill, the meeting of the Florists' Club called for January 8 was postponed. This was the more unfortunate as the meeting was to have included the election of officers, which now must stand over until a future meeting. Albert Morris, son of O, M. Morris, of the Morris & Snow Seed Co., Inc, is the latest victim of influenza in the trade, Mr. Morris is one of the biggest hustlers in a hustling firm and everyone con- nected therewith hopes to see him back shortly in his usual good health. This store has been repainted and put in readiness for what is likely to be a ban- ner season 's business, S, Murata is settling down to work after his trip and is busy meeting old friends and customers, all of whom com- pliment him on his healthful appearance after his sea voyage. An immense basket of Columbia roses in F. Lichtenberg's store this week has caused much favorable comment, and it is generally conceded that a finer display was never seen in this city. Among the orchids shown were some superb flowers of Lsalia anceps alba, which, with good Phalsenopsis amabilis, made a choice showing, Mrs. Edith Brewer, of Dinuba, Cal., was in the city this week on a business trip. H. B. Richards. SAN FBANCISCO. The Market. This is decidedly a growers' market, all available stock cleaning up at higher prices than were ever known in San Francisco at this time of the year. There have been no recessions since the holidays and the present ratio of sup- ply and demand does not give promise of lower prices in the immediate future. The retailers rebel more or less at pay- ing the ruling prices, on the ground that their customers are educated to getting a big showing for their money, which it is impossible to give them with whole- sale quotations so much higher than usual. Funeral work is the principal feature of the demand, and it is par- ticularly hard to obtain cheaper grades of stock for moderate-priced floral pieces. To further complicate matters, galax leaves are hard to obtain. The wholesalers complain that eastern ship- pers not only do not fill their orders, but a good part of the time do not even an- swer their letters and telegrams, indi- Cyclamen Plants Fine plants, splendid folias^e, well set with buds and flowers 4-inch , 25c to 35c 5-inch 50c to 75c 6-inch 75c to $1,00 8-inch , $1.25 to $1.50 9-inch $2.00 to $2,50 Packing at cost WALTER ARMACOST & CO., 221 E. 4th Street, Les Angeles, Cal.

The flo- rists have resorted to the use of mag- nolia leaves to a considerable extent and also to the use of artificial wreaths, which is not customary in California, to say the least, and against the principles of the trade. The question now arises whether prices will drop to old-time standards when the supply of flowers in- creases to normal. The higher cost of production is advanced by the growers as the reason why they should not do so. It is pointed out by one of the large greenhouse operators that fuel oil now costs $1.90 a barrel, in comparison with 80 cents before the war, and that other costs have increased proportionately. Carnations are getting more plentiful, but the general situation is not relieved noticeably on that account, as the sup- ply of roses is shorter than a week ago, showing the effects of heavy cutting in December. Few roses move for less than $5 a dozen, which is usually a top price here. Sales of American Beauties at $18.50 and $20 a dozen have been re- corded in the last week or two. Carna- tions continue to clean up at from $2 to $2.50 a bunch. A limited amount of bulbous stock is readily absorbed. Freesias afe the principal item and they hardly reach the market before they are sold out. A few daffodils made their appearance this week. The time for a generous supply of bulbous stock is anxiously awaited. Violets continue scarce and the foliage shows the effects of frost. Orchids have fallen into line for an increase in price. Cattleyas, formerly sold by the growers at 50 cents and retailed for $1, now net the grow- ers 75 cents and retail at $1.50. Flow- ering plants left over from Christmas were prafetically cleaned up at New Year's. Final figures on New Year's business show an increase over previous years. Various Notes. Mrs. E. E. Darbee says the high prices and scarcity of stock hefe have curtailed shipping to a considerable extent, but that store trade holds up remarkably well. She is handicapped in handling the latter on account of four of her employees being down with the in- fluenza. The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing in some nice Golden Spur daffodils, greenhouse grown. The bulbs had been outside for three years. Last summer they were dug up and planted inside and they have done nicely. M. C. Main, manager of the Seabright • Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, Cal., has been in San Francisco for several days. He drove up in his auto with his mother and has made the rounds of the local trade thoroughly. He has practically sold out his large production of 1918 gladiolus bulbs. It was with sincere regret that the local trade learned this week of the death of W. J. Meldrum, one of the lead- ing florists of Sacramento, Cal. The United Flower & Supply Co. reports plenty of shipping orders but inability to fill many of them on account of the shortage of flowers, violets being par- ticularly hard to get. The California Floral Co. enjoyed an excellent holiday trade, according to Steve Fazio, and business has held lip well since.

He deco- rated 200 tables in the hotel alone, for which it took two days to make the cen- terpieces. Mr. Eppstein says business has held up remarkably well since the holidays, but the high prices prevailing for cut flowers now he fears will curtail the demand, if continued indefinitely. Charles Stappenbeck, the American Florist, Polk street, says he cannot re- member flowers being so scarce and high in price in San Francisco since 1907. While New Year's business was not so good as Christmas, Mr. Stappenbeck says it wag better than the previous year.

Various Notes. Arthur Boehnning has resigned his position with the Eugene Flower Shop and taken the management of Adolph Donart's House of Flowers, succeeding Mr. Sanders, who has resigned to go back into the growing business with Mr. Donart, at Coeur d' Alene, Id. Mr. Boehnning has been prominent in the retail trade of Spokane for several years. At one time he was in charge of the Davenport Flower Shop and he had the decorations for the Davenport hotel and restaurant. He promises Spokane a modern flower shop, as he is remodel- ing and redecorating the salesroom and installing an up-to-date refrigerator. Robert G. Lowe, proprietor of the Wallace Flower Co., at Wallace, Id., has taken a 5-year lease on the glass and residence of Walter IngersoU at Kel- logg, Id. Mr. Lowe contemplates run- ning this in connection with his busi- ness at Wallace. B. W. N. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Stock of all kinds is scarce. There is barely enough to carry on business. Funeral work is the principal feature of the demand and good prices prevail. Never before in the history of the flower trade in the northwest, in fact, have prices been received equal to those in force at present. Carnations bring $2 per dozen. Boses are selling at from $2 per dozen for short-stemmed stock to $7.50 for long-stemmed. Ophelia, Bus- sell, Columbia, Ward, Killarney and White Killarney, Hoosier Beauty and Rose Marie, all of good quality, are the varieties noted. Most of the rose stock is shipped in from California. Various Notes. Bosaia Bros, are sending in fine roses and orchids from their range at Thomas, Wash. G. Bjorkman has gone from the store to the range. Stuber & Bichardson are cutting good carnations. C. E. Sullivan, formerly manager of the Hollywood Gardens, is now with the Woodlawn Flower Shop. William Hawkins has purchased a range of glass near Sacramento, Cal. Charles Gilmer, who was rose grower for the Thomas Floral Co. when he en- tered the service of Uncle Sam, has re- turned to Camp Lewis, at American Lake, Wash., from Camp Lee, Peters- burg, Va., and expects to don overalls and jumper in the near future.

The Florists^ Review 69 are more moderate. Callas and cold storage Easter lilies are in good supply and bring good prices. Paper Whites and Soleil d'Or narcissi are becoming more plentiful; sweet peas and violets are in better supply and snapdragon and calendulas are being cut. Pussy willows were noticed in some of the store win- dows, adding greatly to the attractive- ness of the display. Many of the florists report that bulbous stock is coming along well and will be on time for the Easter trade. Now that the coal restric- tions are raised, some of the florists who closed their houses on that account prob- ably will stock them for the coming season. Various Notes. The Park Garden and Flower Shop re- port a splendid crop of carnations on hand. The concern is also cutting a good supply of sweet peas and violets and its snapdragons are just commenc- ing to bloom. Funeral work is still in great demand here. James Horan & Son recently designed several of the largest wreaths made by them in some time for the Bullard fu- neral. One, a 5-foot wreath, consisted of white camellias, Ophelia roses and maidenhair fern; another immense wreath, a tribute from the employees of the Bullard factory, was made of orchids and white camellias and narcissi and Columbia roses were used in the base. Stephen Horan has the sympathy of the trade in the death of his brother, James H. Horan, which is reported in another column of this issue. John Beck & Son made a pall of violets last week. An immense spray of orchids and lily of the valley was designed to place on top of it. The general run of business is good, although people are still objecting to the high prices. Bobert H. Hawkins reports that fu- neral work still keeps up. An attractive window decoration consisting of potted plants was noticed here recently. Fred C. Kolb expects to cut an im- mense crop of carnations before spring, although these flowers are off crop at present. The carnations grown here are exceptionally good, especially Laddie, the new pink variety. James E. Beach reports that the cut of roses is small. Carnations are com- ing in nicely and bulbous stock is doing well. He is cutting large quantities of calla and Easter lilies, which move rapidly. Some immense pieces were de- signed recently, in which large numbers of Ophelia and Killarney roses were used. George Summers was a visitor re- cently at the greenhouses. I. L. B. NORTHAMPTON, MASS. The regular meeting of the Holyoke and Northampton Florists' and Garden- ers' Club was held January 7 at the greenhouses of Butler & Ullman, Northampton, Mass., with a good at- tendance. It was decided to offer a prize for the best exhibit at each meet- ing for the coming year, to stimulate interest in bringing out exhibits. As it was carnation night, a fine ex- hibition of these flowers was staged. There were twenty vases from the four growers represented. Butler & Ullman won the first prize with a vase of Laddie and were award- ed also a certificate of merit for the extensive decorations at their green- nouses for the occasion. O. H.

Peas and beans cannot be low in price 80 long as farmers can get present prices for food crops. There were 555 bags of seeds on S. S. Manhattan, from London, which reached New York last week. W. W. Johnson & Sons, Ltd., Boston. England, have placed at the disposal of the Belgian government $5,000 worth of seeds for distribution among the Belgian farmers and gardeners. Will someone, preferably a member of the Federal Horticultural Board, please tell us what menace to American agricul- ture is to be found in the importation of Dutch gladiolus bulbs? Ohio incorporations listed January 4 include that of the Toledo Bean & Seed Warehouse Co., Toledo, with capital stock scheduled at $25,000 and incorpora- tors named as G. E. Forrester and E. B. Slawson. The California seed growers are doing less traveling than usual this year. They might have booked all their 1918 acreage by correspondence and several of them think they can book, without leaving the desk, anything they can grow for 1919. E. Jeknavorian and J. Tayian, of San Francisco, have leased 120 acres of the old J. T. Sternes place near Nuestro, in Sutter county, Cal., with the intention of starting in the seed growing business in that section. This year they will plant eighty acres of the tract to Telephone peas for seed. The balance will be used for experimental tobacco planting and garden truck. It is reported that the office and ware- house of the Chesmore Seed Co., St. Joseph, Mo., have been removed to 210-12 South Third street and the retail store re- established at 409 Felix street, one door north of the former location of this branch. This concern is starting the new year with improved facilities for handling its increasing volume of business, which warranted expansion. CANKERS TO VISIT CHICAOO. The twelfth annual convention of the National Canners' Association and its allied trade organizations — the National Canned Food and Dried Fruit Brokers' Association, the machinery manufac- turers and the Kraut and Pickle Pack- ers' Association, together with the sev- eral sections of specialized canning — will be held next week at Hotel La Salle, Chicago, with plane indicating an unusually large gathering of the can- ning fraternity.

A little stock has come across all the time, by ■way of England or on steamers sailing by grace of the kaiser, but the Nieuw Amsterdam, on its arrival January 5, 1919, not only carried the first lot of stock that has come across since the war ended, but the first lot in a long time for which no special dispensations were necessary.

Scharps and H. K. Daly, aU of New York city. E. M. SHERMAN'S VIEWS. "At the present time the outlook is for a shortage of some things in the fruit line," says E. M. Sherman, presi- dent of the Sherman Nursery Co., Charles City, la. "1 am inclined to think, however, that there will be enough ornamental stock to go around. "I look for a fair volume of business in the nursery lines next spring. In some sections business is better than a year ago, while in others it seems to have slumped. It is difficult now to tell what the average ■will be." WHAT'S THE MATTER? A great majority of the nurserymen of the country are confident that the prices the trade is asking for both fruit and ornamental stock are not high enough to meet the present cost of pro- ducing and marketing the output. This is proven by the observations on the condition of the nursery stock market made by a number of the foremost men in the trade during the last few months and printed in the Nursery section of The Review. In almost every instance the writers have said that they have raised their prices, but not in proportion to the in- creased cost of production. Undoubted- ly, they would have increased the prices more had it not been for the fact that competitors had not. It was agreed at the last convention of the American Association of Nursery- men that some means should be devised by which prices of nursery stock can be based on the cost of production, instead of being controlled by what a customer is willing to pay. "Get what you can, but sell the stock," has been a policy that has kept the prices down. There appears to be a chance for the nursery business to come into its own during the next two or three years.

Weber, secretary and treas- urer of the H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo. "The great trouble has been a shortage of help to do the planting, it being, in fact, almost im- possible to get help of any kind. We have been working with about one-third of our usual force and if it had not been for the excellent fall weather we had, I don't know how we would have been able to keep up with our deliveries. In- dications are that there will be a big demand next spring, by which time we hope matters will liave adjusted them- selves so that people desiring landscape work done will be able to secure suffi- cient help. The shortage is mainly in the fruit tree end of the business. The demand is exceedingly good and from present indications there will be a A Big Bargain To Nurserymen and Florists USING SHADE TREES : We have a life-time opportunity.

Up to the pres- ent time there is still plenty of orna- mental stock on the market and those growing ornamentals are hoping that business will pick up by spring. Owing to war conditions there has been little ornamental planting throughout the country and we predict a big demand as soon as conditions become normal again." THE FBUIT TBEE SHOBTAOE. "For the first time in a number of years the demand has exceeded the sup- ply in nearly all lines of fruit trees and, in our opinion, this is only the begin- ning of a short supply and high prices," say Irving Eouse & Son, Rochester, N. Y. "Importation of fruit tree stocks has been greatly cut down during the war, due both to a scarcity in France and to a lack of demand in this country. The trade generally has been growing trees and selling them at less than cost for at least three years. The mount- ing costs of imported stocks, labor and JANDARY 16, 1919.

Special lists on application. LAGER & HUKRELL, Suinit, New Jeney raw material used by nurserymen, in addition to the impossibility of secur- ing a sufficient amount of labor to prop- erly care for the plantings, has resulted in the greatest shortage in the supply of fruit trees known to the trade within the last forty years. Present conditions in France would indicate that, even next year, it will be impossible to se- cure a sufficient amount of stocks." "DEMAND UNPRECEDENTED." "There is unquestionably a great shortage of fruit trees at the present time, and it is going to become much more marked during the next two or three years," predicts the W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y. "Nursery- men have not been able to buy the planting stocks in France which their normal needs require. This has been true for the last two years, so that the stocks coming to the market now are much reduced. On account of the severe winter of a year ago, a great deal of nursery stock was destroyed. There were also many fruit orchards destroyed by the winter, and the demand for re- placement is extensive. "Taking it altogether, the demand for nursery stock is unprecedented. Un- questionably this situation is going to continue for a number of years, as the supply of seedlings in France is not over half the usual amount. Also, the supply of apple seedlings in this coun- try is much below the average. "Few peach seedlings were budded last year, and the supplv of peach trees next season will be short." BOSTON.

The annual inaugural meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society January 11 attracted a fair attendance. The incoming president, W. C. Endi- cott, made an excellent address. He urged a vigorous campaign to increase the membership and favored a much larger fee for membership, with a broader range of work than in the past. He did not think that so much energy need be put into exhibitions. There was some discussion following his ad- dress. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $2,100 for the year 1918. Reports of the various committees were read and accepted. On the exhibit table were plants of a fine strain of Primula malacoides and Tillandsia Lin- denii, from William Martin, gardener to K T. Kidder. The opening lecture of the winter course, by Dr. W. W. Tracy, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash- ington, D.

The question of hardiness in the Chrysanthemum family is such that to call these hardy, as we have formerly done, is unfair be- cause so much depends upon the character of the soil and' the dramage. Too much covering in winter has ruined more plant.s than a cover of any kind has saved. Some firms class these as Decorative varieties. Several In the list do well indoors, as among the Pompons and Singles there are those which do well outdoors The varieties listed have larger blooms than the larger-flowered I'ompons, unless otherwise described.

The New England Nurserymen's As- sociation has decided to hold its con- vention January 27 and 28 at the Amer- ican House, in lieu of the Hotel Belle- vue, in order to accommodate the large number anxious to hear the lectures and discussions. Lecturers will include J. Horace McFarland, of Harrisburg, Pa.; W. W. Rockwell, of New York; W. H.

How- ever, not enough to create a severe drop in prices. All stock demands a fair price. Eoses, having been extremely scarce for some time, can now be had in limited quantities. Killarneys are excellent. Most of them have clean foliage, vigorous stems and large flow- ers. At this time they are leading all others. Sunburst is showing an improve- ment. Carnations are again plentiful, which is a great relief. In order to move a portion of them, it has been neces- sary to offer them as low as $3 per hun- dred. Various Notes. The Quality Flower Shop, Fillmore avenue, operated by Miss Olszewski, a former employee at W. C. Stroh's store on Main street, has closed up. The new store of S. A. Anderson on Elmwood avenue is undergoing a gen- eral cleaning in preparation for open- ing. It is a new building connected with the greenhouses. F. P. A. PITTSBURGH. Various Notes. Secretary Adolph Kruhm has returned from a several days' trip through cen- tral Ohio in the interest of Beckert's Seed Store, of the north side. Begin- ning this week, Mr. Kruhm has inaugu- rated a unique weekly series of educa- tional window displays, the current ex- hibition including a collection of seven distinct classes of brassicas, to which are attached by ribbons photographs reproducing the respective finished prod- ucts. Supplementing the display is a framed printed notice directing the at- tention of the spectators to the similar- ity in appearance of seeds ranging any- where from 5 cents to $25 per pound, and emphasizing the importance of prospective purchasers selecting a seed house of unimpeachable reliability. After eight months in the service, Jasper Estle has been honorably dis- charged and has returned to the service of Samuel Cape, the Lawrenceville flo- rist, for whom he has been a chauffeur for the last eight years. Owing to a fall which incapacitated him for some time, Jasper spent practically the en- tire time at Camp Upton, sailing for France just before "the Kaiser signed the pledge." As a matter of fact, the vessel was in mid-ocean when this im- portant stage of the game was reached; so, instead of proceeding toward the front, her course was turned homeward, with no notification, however, to that effect to the warrior passengers.

Business during the first days of the new year has been decidedly active, al- though trade conditions are not entirely satisfactory, due to the continued short- age in cut flowers, although the supply is better than it had been for some weeks preceding the holidays. Prices have dropped but little from the holiday level. Flowers for social affairs have been in fine demand, especially for table dec- orations and corsages. Many of the hotels have opened their dancing halls and cabarets since the first of the year. Wedding decorations also have become more numerous and lavish. Eeports as to the supply, however, are not so optimistic. Arrivals of roses do not begin to satisfy the call, and many local growers are cutting only fifty per cent of their usual supply for this sea- son. Carnations are more plentiful, al- though the price has dropped from $12 to $6 per hundred. Some exceptionally fine cattleyas are being offered. Various Notes. Miss C. B.

Greenhouse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best tor the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. HARD COAL BESTBICTIONS OFF. On account of an increased supply and accumulation, all restrictions as to shipment of anthracite coal of egg and pea sizes have been removed, it is an- nounced by the Fuel Administration. Notices to this effect have been mailed by the administration to all anthracite shippers and distributors. All shipments of egg and pea coal to territories formerly embargoed or states formerly zoned out to anthracite coal are now without restrictions, and it will be permissible to ship egg and pea coal to such markets as may be found for it. This permission applies only to egg and pea coal and the restrictions on other Bizes continue. As the result of the action here re- lated, the situation is that egg and pea coal, steam coal, buckwheat. No. 1 and smaller sizes, can be shipped to any point where they may be marketed. The restrictions on anthracite shipments now apply only to the sizes stove and chestnut. TOO HOT AND DRY. I am writing for advice in regard to a greenhouse of which I have charge. The house is situated on the top of a 4-story factory building and is 18x50, with a partition across the center. One room is used for vegetables and the other for flowers. The heat is furnished by a low-pressure boiler. The main feed pipe travels one block before arriving at the greenhouse. This pipe is 2V^-inch, but is reduced to 1%-inch inside the greenhouse. There it feeds the coils, of which there are two in each section, each coil containing eight 1%-inch pipes. The coils are located under the side benches. I have had a hard time trying to keep the heat down. The temperature runs up to 80 degrees, with the heat turned off on one side. What would you advise me to do? The air in the house is ex- tremely dry; there seems to be abso- lutely no moisture. On top of the pipes I have placed eight pans, which hold over a pail of water, and when I enter the house in the morning these pans are dry. J. S.-— 111. The letter does not state the amount of glass, if any, in the side walls of the greenhouse, nor the temperature that must be maintained in the greenhouse in the coldest weather. If we consider a house without glass in the walls and where a night temperature of 60 de- grees is desired, we would use only eight 1%-inch pipes for each section of the house. This would be just one-half the present number, as we understand it. Four pipes could be placed in a coil on each wall, or under the side benches, and to keep down the heat in mild weather we would use shut-off valves at a a a a a a a D D D D a □ o a a a D D a a D D a D o a D D a D o D D D a □ a a D D a D D a D D D a a a D D a D D D D O DDDDDaDDDa DDDDDDnDDDDDnDDD a a WHEN YOU BUY GET A KROESCHELL "THE BOILER OF UNEQUALED FUEL ECONOMY" KnO*^ GREEN H0U5E BOILER .o •^ ^' .^^ ^^ft HOT ^^!^ KROESCHELL BOILERS will give record breaking service this Winter.

Every customer immensely satisfied. The hiKh efficiency and low cost of operation makes the Kroeschell the best of all boilers for Florists' use. KROESCHELL BOILERS have satis- factorily and permanently solved the effective burning of screenings. They will burn the worst grades of coal, even the dirtiest culm or sawdust and wood refuse. Greenhouse owners like the KROES- CHELL because of its extreme simplic- ity and freedom from trouble. Asa fuel saver, it pays its own way. The KROES- CHELL will increase your heating plant efficiency 20 to 40%. The KROESCHELL has proven its worth in many of the large establish- ments in this country. It has frequently been selected by the most care- ful buyers in competition with all other types of boilers. Its efficiency and capacity are completely beyond any other boiler.

Pro- vided only 50 degrees is needed at night, three pipes in each coil are all that would be reciuired and there should be shut-off valves in two of these. Judging from the letter, it will be possible to cut off any one of the coils entirely. When this is done, it will be easy to take out a portion of the pipes and insert valves as suggested.

If, after the changes suggested have been made, the air in the greenhouse is still too dry, we would syringe the plants and wet down the walks in the middle of the afternoon, and again wet down the walks when leaving the house at night. Judgment should be used about syringing the plants, especially if cold water only is available, but it can generally be done with safety to most plants, on sunshiny days. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. We are having the finest weather, with bright days and frosty nights. Business continues steady and satisfac- tory. There are enough flowers to go around. Greens are plentiful. There is an abundance of carnations of good quality at $1.50 to $2 per dozen. Eoses are in shorter supply. Sweet peas are coming in more freely, while calendulas, Paper Whites, Boman hyacinths, etc., are in fair supply. There are a few mums still to be seen and some pompons. Various Notes. Theodore Kuebler is cutting fine car- nations. He also is cutting mums, chief- ly Mistletoe. He says he will have mums up to April. The Lockyear Floral Co. is enjoying a brisk business. C. L. Niednagel has a fine stock of coleus, including Brilliancy. Sergeant Walter Blackman has ob- tained his release from the army and returned to his duties at the store of the William Blackman Floral Co. George Blackman says he will let Wal- ter manage his business also, as his health is not so good and he will take a needed rest. Mr. Miller, who has been here recent- ly selling Ironite, is certainly a per- suasive talker and a good salesman. He appears to be well informed on horti- cultural matters, also. He brought let- ters from western growers and supply houses claiming great things for Ironite. His plan is to ship a few bags to the town he is going to, go out and sell them, deliver them at once by taxi and then go on to the next place. At least that is the method used here. He sold to several growers here who seemed skeptical even after they had invested in the preparation. E. L. F. Here's Somethino to Think About The most economical for you to buy is the longest service paint. Labor for repainting is more costly than the higher price asked for the best protective paint— DIXON'S Silici-Braphite PAINT It holds the record of being the long- est service paint in the greenhouse field.

WHEN FORTY AGREE - Is must be a fact and it is a fact that PERMANITE is the ONE PER- FECT CEMENT for GREENHOUSES! The W. A. Rowe Floral Company together with thirty-nine other florists in Kirkwood, Mo., have been using Permanite for glazing their Greenhouses, to repair their roofs and to reline the gut- ters for a period of almost five years. During these five years, these forty florists have been putting Permanite through the most severe tests and Permanite alway did their work well, did it better than anything they had ever used before. PERMANITE is ALWAYS THE SAME, it never failed them and all Permanite users think alike ! ASBESTOS— the chief ingredient of PERMANITE— combined with everlasting elastic gums makes Permanite practically indestructible. No matter how severe the climate may be, Per- manite is there to stay. Because of its rubber- like nature, Permanite is unaffected by expansion and contraction; when you put on PERMANITE it is PUT ON TO STAY ON ! Read Mr. Rowe's letter— 76,000 feet of glass permanently permanited with Permanite — and follow his lead ; he knows exactly what Perma- nite can do for YOU because he has used the material for years. You can experience the same satisfactory service if , well, write our Service Department. They will be glad to tell you more about PERMANITE and explain to you how it SAVES YOU MONEY. Drop us a line — NOW— it's for your benefit. Remember — Permanite is put on to stay on— it never hardens. W, A. HOWE FLUUAL CO.

Remember that "The Sweetness of Low Prices Never Equals the Bitterness of Poor Quality." Our prices on Gladiolus Bulbs are reasonable, considering the quality of goods we send out, and prices for our "none better" stock cannot be compared with inferior Gladioli. We are still selling Gladiolus Bulbs according to standard sizes. Our first size runs 1^-inch and up, and our second size, being 1^-inch, differs very little from first size offered by other dealers. If interested in l)i and l>^-inch size, write for prices. Our Terms: 30 days, or 2% cash. Unknown correspondents please send cash with order. Delivery: F. 0. B. Benton Harbor, Mich. Packing will be charged at cost. 100 of a kind at one-tenth of 1000 price. GLADIOLUS BULBS Per 1,000—1^ in. 1^ in. 1 in.

Spring usually is the most welcome of all the seasons. Hence, flowers that symbolise and promise spring are pe- culiarly acceptable, like a letter announcing the coming of a longed-for friend. HOUGH the majority of florists may disagree posi- tively with much of Mo- hammed 's teaching; though they may refuse to swal- low his religion whole or even in large chunks, they will unanimously approve his sentiment about bread and narcissi, as recorded in the square at the right of this column. Mohammed evidently was a stanch be- liever in the necessity of flowers and his opinion carries weight. But a greater and earlier authority than Mohammed de- clared that "man shall not live by bread alone" — bread in the sense of material food of any kind. The same truth has been taught also by expe- rience, particularly by experience dur- ing the world's greatest war, when flowers were most literally in demand — absolutely demanded by multitudes of sorrowing or rejoicing people. Buahing the Season. We florists, then, have the best of reasons for being proud of our calling. Therefore let us push the business "in season and out of season," and espe- cially let us prepare for each season before its arrival. More especially still, let us prepare for spring, the season to which most people look forward so longingly that they are glad to see — • and purchase — any tokens of it, partic- ularly the floral tokens. Spring still may be far in the future; there may not be the faintest hint of it in the air. Whoever has two loaves of bread, let him trade one for a narcissus; for bread is nourishment for the body, but the narcissus is nourishment for the soul. — Mohammed. Let the florist use this In his ads ofFerlriK narcissi and other spring flowers. But florists are adepts at rushing the seasons; it is by such rushing that they overtake and capture the greatest num- ber of those elusive, winged, slippery things called dollars. Have you any doubt about the per- suasive power of the early spring flow- ers— flowers that herald the approach of spring while winter still reigns? When a person is disgruntled and peev- ish on account of the continued inclem- ency of the weather; when he is mut- tering anathemas about * ' a winter that lasts more than half the year"; when he even goes so far as to call the north temperate zone a God-forsaken region, and when he sighs for a home nearer the tropics or the warm ocean currents — when he is in so sullen a mood, then it is that an early display of spring flow- ers, in a florist's store, may bring him to his senses. The pretty blooms, skill- fully arranged, seem to say to him: "Cheer up and brace up. You can get more good things, including flowers, on this strip of the globe than anywhere else, if you are willing to pay for them. And here, in this invigorating climate, is where people have energy enough to earn plenty of money with which to purchase the best of the world's joys and comforts. Be a gentleman and a sport; buy some spring flowers and take them home as a message of gladness for your family. ' ' Thus the spring flowers, appearing early in a florist's window or even in his printed advertisements, catch the public fancy because they are a dis- tinct, unmistakable promise of spring while spring it8»lf is still a distant pros- pect. A Stimulus Wlien Most NeedeA. Meanwhile the sale of the reliable, in- dispensable, all-year stand-bys, like roses and carnations, is interfered with only temporarily, if at all, and in the end is increased. The actual stay of spring flowers is comparatively brief — two or three months at the most — but their stimulus is enduring. Their stim- ulus is available, too, at a time when it is most needed, in the dull period between the winter holidays and Eas- ter. The many kinds of spring flowers, bulbous and otherwise, are all familiar to the average florist and scarcely need to be enumerated here. The purpose now is to direct particular attention to A Decoration of Narcksi Will Have the Quiet Charm of a Brigtit Spring Morning. 12 The Florists' Review January 23, 1919. narcissi, since they may be considered a good type or example of spring flow- ers in general. Besides, a display that consists principally of one sort of flow- ers, such as narcissi, is much more dis- tinctive, attractive and convincing than is a miscellaneous lot of flowers. The miscellaneous lot has no theme, no motif, no clear meaning. The passer-by be- comes hopelessly lost as he looks at it — if, indeed, he stops to look. There is so much to see that he sees nothing. A narcissus window, therefore, is much more effective than is a window that can be described only as a flower win- dow. Enlightening and Alluring. One of the artistic uses that can be made of narcissi is shown in the illus- tration on the preceding page. The il- lustration may either be helpful in the actual arrangement of a table decora- tion or may serve as a suggestion for a window display. Florists' windows should enlighten, as well as allure, the observer. Many peo- ple have only the haziest ideas of the uses of flowers. They scarcely know what flowers are for and are sadly in need of the right kind of object lessons on the subject. A florist, therefore, has not taken the greatest possible advantage of the sea- son's opportunities if he has merely filled some storage jars with spring flow- ers and has set the loaded receptacles primly in a row, as evidence, unobtru- sive and mere matter-of-fact evidence, that the stock is on hand if anybody is searching for it. If a florist is so sit- uated— perhaps he is — that he can get plenty of patronage with no further ef- fort than that, he is fortunate. But if he is always on the outlook for more business, as most florists are, he will try to give some clear indication of the unique possibilities of spring flowers, as used in bouquets, corsages, decorations, etc. Harmony Without Monotony. The colors, though harmonious, should have a certain degree of distinctness. The adept — only the adept, who knows exactly how to do the trick without run- ning too much risk — may create a strik- ing and fine effect by putting in a touch or two of bright color that al- most clashes, just as the accomplished musician frequently introduces a near- discord, a dissonance or "harmonic dis- cord," which is the most brilliant and delightful of harmonies. Some of the flowers may be displayed, of course, in suitably colored baskets, tastefully bedecked with the proper spring accessories, including butterflies or humming birds, or other realistic symbols of spring life and activity. An artistic basket, skillfully used, adds much more than its own cost to the selling price of the flowers. In such displays it is advisable to use low bas- kets, with low handles and tin contain- ers, so that all the stems may be in water. Perhaps it is scarcely necessary to say that the ribbon should be at- tached in such a way as to appear to serve a pi'actical purpose in fastening some parts of the combination together. The ribbon is in danger of seeming out of place, a mere intruder or "hanger- on," unless it conveys the illusion of being useful as well as ornamental. |N;:v»yoiv»yj^»A'^Vf^^V''>^l.vfyj^f/JlM?^JLV»vj^^^^^ SEASONABLE ^ <^ SUGGESTIONS SNAPDEAQONS. The cut of flowers from snapdragons is now at its lowest ebb. There are one or two winter-blooming varieties that are fairly dependable, but we are yet seeking a true midwinter-blooming race which will bloom as do carnations and violets. Such antirrhinums are sure to come before long, however, and even as it is we can get fairly good returns from the various popular indoor varieties now on the market. You cannot force snaps, as the markets commonly term them. A winter minimum of 45 degrees is better than 50 degrees. Let the plants in beds or benches dry out well between water- ings and damp the foliage as little as possible. Rust and stem-rot are liable to become troublesome now, especially where the plants were grown from cut- tings instead of seed. A fairly dry atmosphere, plenty of fresh air and the removal of diseased plants as soon as detected, are advised. For plants benched in August, which have now filled the benches with roots, a top- dressing of fine, well decayed manure will now prove beneficial. This is pref- erable to liquid manure. Sow a batch of seed now, if you want an indoor crop for Memorial day and through the month of June. The intermediate types are best and some fine sorts are to be had which have been raised in America and have proved their value for green- liouse culture. IVY-LEAVED GERANIUMS. All the ivy-leaved geraniums make grand plants for baskets and there can be no better time than the present for filling these. Especially fine varieties for baskets are Souv. de Charles Turner, Achievement, Ryecroft's Surprise and Colonel Baden Powell. A temperature of 50 degrees at night and full sun will suit these ivy-leaved geraniums in bas- kets. While fuchsias prefer some shade during their blooming period, the gera- niums succeed better in brighter loca- tions. AZAIiEA MOLLIS. There will be few plants of Azalea indica for Easter, 1919, but Azalea mollis from home-grown stock is avail- able and makes a most desirable pot plant. It sells well much earlier than Easter and, started now, can be had in bloom within fifty or sixty days. It can be forced fairly hard, but as the flowers open a somewhat lower tempera- ture is desirable, to give them substance. In Azalea mollis there are some beauti- ful colors that are not found in A. in- dica, such as golden yellow, orange and reddish orange, and any of these de- ciduous shrubs appeal much to buyers when winter has been with us for some time. LEMON VERBENAS. Of course everyone who handles bed- ' ding plants needs some plants of Aloysia citriodora, as the ever popular lemon- scented verbena is termed botanically. If you lifted some old plants from the field and heeled them in where they are free from frost, you can soon increase your stock. Pot up the stock plants, prune back somewhat, place in a warm house and spray freely, but water spar- ingly until the growths start. An over- plus of water often causes stock plants to rot away entirely. Take the cuttings while they are short and stocky and can be rubbed off with a heel. You will find that cuttings of this type are fairly certain to root well, while those from more mature wood prove somewhat un- satisfactory. POTTING FOLIAGE PLANTS. During the dark days of winter, while the sun is at its lowest ebb and various greenhouse duties outside of firing are somewhat less onerous, is a good time to overhaul any palms and other foliage plants, such as crotons, dracaenas, pan- danus, ficus, etc., and to do any neces- sary repotting. In some cases the re- moval of some of the surface soil and the application of a top-dressing may suffice. Use clean pots, drain sufficient- ly and use a compost of fibrous loam, with some well decayed and dry cow manure and sharp sand added. From three-fourths to four-fifths of the whole should be loam. Ram the compost firm- ly and be sure to leave an ample space for water. For some time after potting, the watering must be done carefully, so that the balls may not become soggy. All work of this kind should be done now, or it is liable to be overlooked entirely as the busy season advances. POTTING BEGONIA LEAVES. It is not necessary to wait for the ap- pearance of growths before potting leaves of such winter-blooming be- gonias as Cincinnati, Lorraine, Melior and Mrs. Peterson. If there is good root action from the leaf stalks, the growths are sure to come in good season. Be sure to use a light compost, mostly flaky leaf-mold with some sharp sand added, and let it be warm. After potting, stand the plants on a bench where they will get some bottom heat and a temperature of 60 degrees at night. Put in a further batch of leaves. These will have time to root before we get such warm weather that heat in the sand will be irregular or much reduced. Columbus, O. — The Franklin Park Floral Co. tore down part of an old range and built one new house with concrete walls, posts and benches, in time to stock it for holiday business, which is reported excellent. Carlisle, Pa.— John E. Dewalt, who condu'cts a large greenhouse here, lost heavily when his heating plant was damaged and went out of commission overnight. The entire contents of the greenhouse, valued at $1,500, were fro- zen. Jancabt 23, 1919. The Florists' Review 13 seasonabij: okchid notes. Cattleyas. Commercial growers who have any cattleyas would do well to take good care of them. If theuiew law prohibit- ing all entries of plants with soil on their roots goes into effect June 1, or- chids will be entirely barred out. It has not been claimed that any destruc- tive pest has ever come in with orchids, any more than with bay trees, boxwoods, araucarias, azaleas, rhododendrons or hollies, but the quintette of all-powerful members of the Federal Horticultural Board have thus far failed to listen to the reasonable protests of our growers and importers, and, if the bars go down, the orchid industry here, which has been steadily growing of late years, will suffer a severe body blow. The cattleya is and has been the commercial orchid par excellence and we have been dependent on South America for our importations. Hitherto we have done little in raising seedlings at home. The writer of these notes from time to time has advocated the production of seed- lings of the best varieties of cattleyas, not hybrids, for of these we already have an abundance, but quantities of such standard varieties as C. labiata, TriansB, Mossise, Mendelii, gigas, Per- civaliana, Skinneri, Bowringiana, aurea and others of proven value. These can- not be produced quickly. Three years is the earliest time in which I have flow/ered a cattleya hybrid from seed sowing and it takes double that time for many and for some even more. There are naturally few growers' finan- cially able to wait so long for returns, when they can secure immediate crops, but cattleyas may soon become more or less of a memory commercially, with the embargo kept up, unless some seedling raisers produce cattleyac at home. Points in favor of seedlings are that they are more vigorous than imported plants and they often bloom twice a year. For these reasons alone they should command double the price of im- ported plants. Cattleya Trianae. Cattleya Triana; is now in good crop. It/is the florist's most useful orchid ajid fills a long season. Some of the /Hants flower well ahead of the holidays; others will bloom until early in March. This popular orchid does not need a high temperature. During the winter of 1917-18 and again during the present winter, our night temperatures have dropped to 45 and 50 degrees. None of the plants showed any ill effec+p. Sors'' appear more vigorous and evidently ap- prove of the 10 degrees less warmth at night. With lower temperatures, however, a drier atmosphere is needed and watering must be done with more discrimination. It is much safer to un- derwater cattleyas than the reverse. Once a week is as often as our plants have had water for many weeks: occa- sionally the intervals have been longer. Bright mornings are chosen for this work and a good soaking given, but woodwork or benches are well damped once a day. Ventilation from the roof is given when the temperature reaches 65 degrees. Cattleyas love fresh air and cannot bear a close, stuffy atmos- phere. A light syringing overhead on clear days will prove beneficial. Other Varieties. Cattleya labiata is starting into growth now and plants needing bas- kets or new pots should bo overhauled. Use good fern fiber for compost and drain the pots well. Cut away all dead or decaying roots and bulbs and give the plants. a good sponging before re- potting. You cannot firm them too well in their receptacles. Leave the surface slightly rounded. As C. Percivaliana passes out of flower, keep it dry for a few weeks before repotting. This does not mean absolutely to keep the water from it, but to reduce the supply. Varie- ties coming into sheath, such as Mossise, Skinneri, Schroederee, Mendelii, etc., should have the warmest part of the house, as should gigas and aurea. The two latter like more warmth than the other cattleyas named. All possible sponging for scale should be done at this season. Spray well with Aphine, Fir Tree Oil or some other good insecti- cidCji if you can find no time for spong- ing. The sun is increasing in power at this time, but a light shade only is needed where clear glass is used and none at all if you have ground glass. Montreal, Que. — Five greenhouses of McKenna, Ltd., were destroyed by fire January 12, together with the plant stock they contained. A sixth house, at a short distance, escaped damage. The fire department responded promptly to a summons when the flames were dis- covered, but the water pressure was so weak that the firemen could not work effectively. The damage has not been estimated, but James McKenna says the greenhouses alone were worth $10,000. >'l^^L^LVS^L^tiS{Jl^t.VWWWt«WlV!y^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS :'rik^':?as-uri\''>:r4i\^:yti\'^^^ CABNATIONS IN THE SOUTH. The carnation houses require lots of attention about this time each year, more especially as some necessary work is neglected during the rush of prepar- ing for the holidays. The days, too, are lengthening and, with the sun gaining power, the plants are responding to the genial warmth with increased growth. Likewise,, weeds and grass are springing up quickly in the beds and these must be worked out at any cost. A top-dressing of sheep manure, or poudrette, ought to be given and con- tinued at intervals of from two to three weeks. The great enemy of carnations in the south at this season is red spider, and it is hard to get rid of it, once it has obtained a foothold. Constant and hard syringing every bright day and a salt spray once a week will eventually clean it out, but all the same, it is a con- stant menace and must be carefully watched. During the month of Decem- ber there was much rainy and cloudy weather, and in leaky houses consider- able loss resulted from a fungous growth on the half-opened flowers. This fungus seems to flourish only in wet weather and in houses that are not tight or where water leaks through the gutters and lies in the walks or under the benches. It is depressing to report such conditions, but they prevail in many places in the south. Of course the trouble disappears -,'ith a few days of bright weather. A little sulphur paint applied to one of the steam pipes at such times will pre- vent or remedy the trouble. Care should be taken not to paint too much pipe surface. You may paint three feet and miss three feet. Carnation plants will not stand so much sulphur as rose plants. There seem to have been a great many split calyxes this season. The mercury has not dropped low so far, and conse- quently there has been little trouble in keeping the required temperature. A big drop in the night temperature for a night or two is, or at least seems to be, the main cause of the flower splitting its calyx. Keep the plants growing in their proper spaces by going over them every week, and disbud the flowers as soon as the buds are big enough. Proper ventilation and watering, with judicious feeding and sanitation, are the great things to be practiced from now on. A batch of late cuttings may still be put in the sand, but don't expect won- ders from such late ones. They will, however, make good stock to replace any that die from stem-rot after planting in the houses. White Enchantress is the greatest carnation of its color in the south, with the others nowhere. Curious- ly enough, this variety is being discard- ed in the north. As none of the other whites we have tried approach it in any respect, I would advise those who have it to keep xip their own stock, as it may soon be difficult to obtain from northern growers.

The special census of the greenhouse trade, taken by the United States Census Bureau by direction of the President as a war emergency measure in the interest of the War Industries Board, revealed 8,412 commercial greenhouse establish- ments, with glass covering 119,331,380 square feet of ground. The value of the products in the year ending June, 1918, was $46,188,534. ' While it is not to be supposed that these figures, compiled as a special cen- sus under war emergency conditions, represent the whole industry with exact- ness, it will give the public and the trade itself a new conception of the extent of the greenhouse business in the United States. How Enumeration Was Made. Readers of The Review may recall that in August, 1918, it was reported in this paper that a special census had been ordered and shortly thereafter blanks were received by large numbers of green- house owners. The questions were eight in number: The name of the person, firm or corporation conducting the estab- lishment; location of offices and green- houses; total square feet of ground cov- ered by greenhouses; value of products; fuel used; number of males 18 years of age and over continuously employed; fertilizers used; insecticides and fungi- cides used. Florists' clubs, business concerns and prominent individuals in the trade also were asked to assist the Bureau of the Census by supplying lists of names in the hope of supplementing the list al- ready in possession of the government and making the enumeration fairly com- plete. Such names as were reveaMd through this source also received the questionnaire. How Figures Came Out. The trade was much perturbed by the evidence afforded by this special census of the industry that the continuation of the war probably would mean additional restrictions, other than those already placed on the trade by the Fuel Adminis- tration, but, happily, the armistice was signed before such action became neces- sary. When it was announced, in December, that the War Industries Board would proceed at once to wind up its affairs The Review wrote to Samuel L. Rogers, Director of the Census, as follows: Some months ago we had correspondence with reference to a special census of commercial green- liouses, which you were making at the request of the War Industries Board. Now that the War Industries Board is winding up Its affairs and will not have the contemplated use for the figures, will It be possible for this publication to procure them for the benefit of the greenhouse trade ?

We think you will find that it pretty thoroughly covers the field as you found It. Director Rogers writes: "I have - taken this matter up with Hon. Edwin B. Parker, Priorities Commissioner, and he assures me that the War Industries Board has no objection to the publica- tion of these figures," which thus are made available for the trade. They rep- resent the expenditure of a large amount of time, money and effort and it is prob- able that it would be impossible for any other agency than the government to obtain the information herein made pub- lic by The Review. Note the Facts. In considering the figures certain facts are to be borne in mind. In the first place, this was a special census of the greenhouse industry, not of the florists' trade. The census bureau ob- tained the reports from 8,412 commercial greenhouse establishments. No enumer- ation was made of retail flower stores, wholesale flower stores, or any establish- ment not used for growing purposes. The enumerated number, 8,412, therefore does not represent the number of estab- lishments in the industry as the trade knows it, because the important retail- ing end is omitted. At the same time, the value of the products, compiled as $46,188,534, does not represent the real value of the turn- over in the industry. It does not rep- resent what the public pays. Nor does it represent the wholesale value of the products of the industry, because a ma- jority, perhaps, of the greenhouse estab- lishments are those which sell their prod- ucts at retail. On the other hand, the larger establishments, if less numerous than those retailing their output, prac- ticallv all sell their output at wholesale. The total of $46,188,534 therefore is neither the wholesale nor the retail value of the greenhouse products of the United States, but is a figure somewhere between. The figures show the distribution of the greenhouse industry by states and many florists will be interested in figur- ing the returns as shown by the reports. There is some variation, but it should be remembered that the area is square feet of ground covered by glass, not bench area. Nine Years Before. If one goes back to the census of 1910 for comparative figures, it is found that at that time 10,614 establishments were enumerated as doing business in 1909, that the area covered by greenhouses was 105,165,730 square feet and that the value of products was $34,872,000. The census of 1910 probably was much more complete than the emergency census of 1918. The former one was made by enumerators in the field, subsequently followed up by a mail questionnaire, whereas the emergency census was made entirely by mail and with an imperfect mailing list for the basis. It is probable that the census of 1910 included a con- siderable number of small establish- JANUABY 23, 1919.

It is the supposition in the trade that 'he relationship between the fuel con- sumption and the value of products was what chiefly would interest the govern- "lent and be the determining factor in any restrictive action taken as the war progressed. The census shows that 8,412 green- houses burned in the bad winter of 1917-18 274,444 tons of anthracite and 1,248,432 tons of bituminous, with small quantities of coke, oil, wood and gas, or about 1,500,000 tons of coal to heat 100,000,000 feet of ground covered by glass, or about fifteen tons of coal to each 1,000 square feet of glass reporting. The reports regarding fertilizers and insecticides consumed have not yet been given out. LILIXTM HABRISII FOB EASTEB. I have some Harrisii lilies three or four inches high which I keep at 50 degrees. Kindly tell me what tempera- ture is required to bring them into flow- er for Easter. C. B. — Minn. I would hold the lilies in their present temperature for some time yet. They are a trifle early, but you should be able to hold them jfor Easter. You should be able to see and count the buds six weeks before Easter, which would be around March 6. Usually lilies in an average night temperature of 60 de- grees will flower within forty days of the time when the buds show, but as Easter 1919 is late, a little less time may be needed this year. Still, it is better to have the plants open a little earlier than needed, as in a cold house or cellar they are easily held back after the first flowers have opened, C, W. Monticello, N. Y,— K, D. L.

The Nieuw Amsterdam claims have been compromised; the insurance com- pany pays fifty per cent, the exporters twenty-five and the consignees twenty- five per cent. Of all the. losses that have occurred to importers since the war began, and they are well known to have been many, nothing hit the trade like the claims growing out of the Nieuw Amsterdam. All branches of the trade were in- volved, for the Nieuw Amsterdam, on the famous trips it did not complete, carried what probably was the largest cargo of horticultural goods ever stored in the hold of a steamer. It was con- signed to florists, seedsmen and nursery- men all over America. To Freshen Memory. Those of the hundreds directly con- cerned will not require to have their memories refreshed and readers of The Eeview probably will recall the circum- stances, but it may be noted that the Nieuw Amsterdam, with many millions of gladiolus bulbs, hundreds of cases of boxwoods, scores of cases of dormant roses and hundreds of cases of general nursery stock on board, sailed for New York late in January, 1917, and in the course of a few days returned to Rotter- dam. Report had it that the steamer was recalled by wireless, but this now is denied — it is said the master returned because the perils of navigation endan- gered his vessel. At any rate, the cargo of the Nieuw Amsterdam was transferred, about Feb- ruary 7, 1917, to two smaller boats, the Maartensdyk and Westerdyk. These lay at Rotterdam week after week, re- peatedly announced to sail "in a few days," until April, when the Holland- America line accepted the trade's rep- resentation that the stock would not then be worth the United States tariff duties, unloaded the steamers and re- turned the stock to the shippers if they would take it, as most of them did. Slow Getting Through. It took some little time for the mean- ing of this to penetrate the mind of the average consignee, but one by one the men to whom this shipload of stock had been sold awakened to the fact that they might have to pay for something they never got; that, indeed, they might in addition have to pay the freight on it. Might even have to pay for the cases the goods were packed in! No specially active imagination is needed to conceive the extent of the shock! At first sight, it seemed impos- sible; those who read the notes in The Review were incredulous, but gradu- ally it came to be recognized that the trade was confronted with a quite un- usual but not unprecedented situation. The Shippers' ResponsiDility. A couple of seasons ago one of the trade organizations adopted resolutions pledging its members to place orders only on the basis of freight and duty paid, but nearly all of the Nieuw Am- sterdam 's cargo was sold f . o.^?. nursery, packing extra. That seemed to let the shipper out. But the stock was returned. What bearing had that? The shippers claimed that in receiving stock back they acted only as the agent of their customers, for the purpose of stopping warehouse charges, insurance fees, etc., and in the hope of salvaging some of the stock. Not many consignees have been able to get an exact statement of what was saved. But the shipper, having guar- anteed the freight, was required to pay when the stock was returned. Most American consignees received memo randa of the expense incurred under this head. Most, if not all, the bulbs and plants in the Nieuw Amsterdam were fully covered by marine and war risk insur- ance, including insurance against heat- ing to destination, and they were re- insured at an increased rate when the shipments were transferred to other steamers, but the insurance company disclaimed liability for damage through delay. Action to Defend the Trade. The nurserymen were quicker to take action than the bulb importers or flo- rists. On a call issued by Thomas B. Meehan, Dresher, Pa., a committee was formed which invited all interested par- ties to place claims in its hands. Most of the claims were turned over to the committee, with the result that the Dutch interests, exporters and insurance, sent representatives to the United States to deal with the committee. The compromise effected can be set down as highly satisfactory to the trade. 't'JlASiJtXSAJt^JLViyjUS/JWWlxS/JW^^^ ,-'«Mr^s\ir^irs\ir^ir/SMr,'S>(ir) THE PLAKT EMBABGO. At its January meeting the Cleveland Florists' Club discussed thoroughly the recent ruling of the Federal Horticul- tural Board, prohibiting the importation of practically all plants and bulbs, after June 1, 1919, and instructed the secre- tary to register strenuous protest with the congressmen of the district and to ask the repeal of this drastic measure. Individual members of the club also were requested to write their congressmen, with the view of bringing to bear in the matter all the pressure possible. The old saw has it, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," which dictum appears to apply to this situation. The query is heard, "Is not the trade sufficiently well organized to prevent effectually the enactment of such unfavorable laws? Was the vast power within its organization properly brought to bear in the matter?"" The fact that on two occasions previous to the enact- ment of the prohibitory law, its com- mittees voiced the sentiment of the or- ganized trade as against the ruling, is proof that concerted action was taken. The Federal Horticultural Board simply did not pay any attention to its wishes. It would seem that a greater protest was needed. Perhaps if the matter had been tackled by way of the congress previ- ous to its passage as a law, the enact- ment could have been prevented. However, a note of protest from every section voiced in congress should ac- complish much in the direction of geti ting the nefarious measure repealed. It is the logical course to pursue and effec- tive action should not be delayed. The Eeview has frequently pointed out the urgent necessity for getting busy. Every florist, large or small, should write his congressman, requesting his aid. The organized trade is on trial and it must emerge victorious; and that this may be accomplished, its every member must put his shoulder to the wheel. Mac. A CONVENTION CITY. The completion of the mammoth con- vention hall, authorized by popular vote over a year ago, will enable the Sixth City to come into its own as a conven- tion city. The big structure is to be a unit in a group of several municipal buildings, located upon what is styled The Mall, at the foot of East Sixth street, on the lake front. The war has delayed its beginning, but it is to be completed and ready for business in the fall of 1921, just a year too late to house the S. A. F. convention in 1920. By reason of its geographical location and convenience of access, both by rail and water, with this splendidly ade- quate accommodation, there is little doubt that the Ohio metropolis will be a great convention city of the future. Within a night's ride of the leading trade centers of the country, it is the logical meeting place. The rapid de- velopment of the florists' business and the general tendency towards organiza- tion will make trade assemblages of national scope more essential, and hence more frequent, as time advances. And nothing will be of more material assist- ance in this progress than a central point of gathering, offering eminently suitable facilities and requiring but a minimum of time for function. There is another vital factor, how- ever, in the fulfillment of this great des- tiny, namely, the existence of a goodly degree of local enterprise. The Buck- eye State, with its immense wealth and numerous large cities, should occupy a prominent place in trade importance. True, it does at present, but far beneath its great possibilities. Possessing mani- fold natural advantages, better trade ideals, sounder economic practice and a firm faith in the future, all tinctured with the spirit of progress, are required to give it the noteworthy position in the commercial floriculture of the country to which it is justly entitled. Mac. January 23, 1919. The Florists^ Review 17 »'a^ivsyi^t^ix8i]i^;^iiSW[^wwixswi«^ IN KHAKI AND BLUE HOMEWARD BOUND. Hither and Yon. Of the hosts returning from their pilgrimages overseas and from the va- rious camps and cantonments overland, many are members of the trade in its different branches. Of these youthful patriots, many have won distinction and all have striven and sacrificed in the great work of winning the war. Their friends on this side eagerly await news of their return and every item of in- formation about them and their move- ments is of interest to all who know them. Every week brings tidings 1o the offices of The Review of the soldiers whose absence has been so keenly felt in the various activities of the trade. News of members of the trade in the service of their country, whether sta- tioned abroad or traveling homeward by train or transport, of men awaiting discharge or already returned to their homes, all will be of interest to friends in the trade and will be published from time to time as it comes in. Living Well in Germany. Robert W. Johnston, the only son of Mary Johnston, the florist, of 221-1:;; West Madison street, Baltimore, Md., was associated with his mother in the business, but December 14, 1917, he heard his country 's call for men and enlisted in the Ambulance Corps, at AUentown, Pa. March 28 his unit was sent overseas and attached to the First Army Corps, composed principally of members of the regular army. Since that time this corps has been in the thick of the fighting, but Mr. Johnson has been most fortunate, having come through without a scratch. He now is in the Army of Occupation and in his last letter home was stationed in Ott- weiler, Germany, where Robert says the soldiers are living like princes. When we remember that the United States had 2,000,000 such husky chaps engaged in this game, it is not surprising that the war was so short-lived when these hoys struck their gait. He delights to tell what they did to the noted Prussian (^uard. Everyone in the trade hopes that he mav soon be ordered home. Tate. Stops Dealing in Gas Masks. W. J. Stephens, of S. F. Stephens S: Son, Columbus, O., writes home that, 'iow the use of gas masks has been dis- continued, he expects soon to be re- leased from the ofiice of the quarter- master sergeant of the Gas Mask Squad ind before long to be back among the wsies. He concludes by stating there i>as been a tremendous unmasking, with iiore to follow. W. M. The Picture of Health. John Breitmeyer, son ot Fred fireitmeyer, of Detroit and Mount Clem- -ns, Mich., has received his discharge ind returned to his home, looking "the ucture of health," as our correspondent leseribes him. The strenuous training 'f camp life and the still more severe Robert V. Johnston. exigencies of army life have not affected his fine constitution otherwise than beneficially, but Mr. Breitmeyer is glad to lay down the sword to take up the pruning hook. Will Recover. Among arrivals anxiously awaited of soldiers from overseas is noted that of Leo Willes, son of Mrs. George Madsen, of the Alton Floral Co., Alton, 111. Mr. Willes was badly wounded in action and is in a hospital in New York city, where, however, hopes are entertained for his complete recovery. Home From Vancouver. Oliver H. Langhans, Pittsburgh, Pa., who has been for more than a year at Vancouver, Wash., and Clatso]), Ore., in the spruce production cam|)s, has at last been discharge 1 from the service of Uncle Sam. He is a son of Theodore P. Langhans, and before enlisting in the Signal Corps was witli the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. He was assigned to the Aviation Section and left for Seattle January L"), 1918, where he engaged at once in the work of ])roducing spruce timber for the construction of aero- planes. Since leaving Washington, Mr. Langhans has been at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O. He is visiting relatives and friends in western Pennsylvania before settling down again to work for the Pittsburgh concern. His parents and his sister visited him while he was located at Clatsop last July. Wintering in California. Major John Connon, president of the John Connon Co., Ltd., Hamilton, Ont., is spending the winter with his wife and little daughter at Monrovia, Cal. Major Connon commanded a company of the 120th City of Hamilton Battalion, which went to England in the summer of 1916. He was invalided home in De- cember of the same year. He put in a year at the Hamilton Sanatorium, re- ceiving much benefit from the treat- ment there. Months spent last summer in the Laurentian mountains effected further improvement and it is thought that the winter in California will com- plete the cure. Major Connon expects to get back to business in the spring. Chicago Florists Returning. H. Hansen, florist on Cemetery road, near Rose Hill cemetery, Chicago, was greatly relieved to receive word from his son, Henry A. Hansen, who had been given up as lost. Henry Hansen has been in the navy for nearly two years, during which time he has seen service on both land and sea. His land duties car- ried him into England, France and Bel- gium, where he drove an ambulance and was under fire constantly. He also was with the big naval gun crews who did such good land work. His experiences are remarkable when one considers that he enlisted in the navy as a mechanic. He now is in London and expects to be home soon. On his return he will again take active charge of the business. M. A. Redden, proprietor of the retail store that bears his name at 820 West Garfield boulevard, Chicago, has turned in his new uniform and is back again in his "civies, " having been honorably discharged from service in the navy, where he has been since the latter part of October, 1917. Mr. Redden was on the transport Princess Matoika, having made five trips to Brest and two to St. Nazaire. On one of his trips he was given a furlough and at that time visit- ed several large French cities, including Paris. He says that ho is fortunate in having so able an assistant as his sister, who has run the store in his absence. Another Chicago florist who has re- turned to his business is F. C. Thom, pro- ])rietor of the retail store at 1639 Mil- waukee avenue. Mr. Thom recently re- ceived his honorable discharge from the army. He was last stationed at the base hospital at Camp Bowie, Texas. Still another Chicago florist who re- turned with the 333rd Field Artillery of the 86th Division, known as the Black- hawks, January 13, was Arthur Stielow, of Niles Center. Ernest Farley has returned to Chicago from Camp Wadsworth, in South Car- olina, but has not yet connected with a job. A New Yorker Mustered Out.

January 13, after stopping in Chicago for the day, was one Yank who was rather out of place with the rest of the boys, who are middle-westerners. He is Oscar Hauschild, the McAlpin hotel florist, of New York city, attached to headquarters company of the 161st Field Artillery as a wireless operator. Mr. Hauschild went over with the 77th Di- vision and in France was transferred to the 86th Division, which is the Black- hawks. Although he landed in New York, he was unable to get his discharge there and was obliged to come west, be- ing honorably discharged at Camp Grant January 19. Mr. Hauschild is stopping at the home of a fellow trooper in Evans- ton, 111., and has made several trips about the Chicago market, buying sup- plies for the new store he will open on his return to New York next week. Otto Hauschild has had charge of his broth- er's business during the latter 's absence. CWN tCTTER^y^ DEADER^ PROMPT SETTLEMENT PAYS. I have been much interested in articles from time to time in The Eeview re- garding credits and collections, because I have given more care the last year to these subjects than ever before and am proud of my success. By January 12 I had collected every dollar on sales made last year up to December and now, January 16, only ten per cent of December business is outstanding, and that is all due from outside florists whose orders I filled. I find some of them are not so prompt as I would like, taking thirty days and then some. We wire some orders to other florists and we invariably send check on re- ceipt of bill, where we have had no previous business, and in other cases remit on the first of the month follow- ing receipt of bill. I feel that when I ask for delivery of flowers by one who probably has never heard of me I should appreciate the favor and believe if this plan were carried out by all it would prove more satisfactory than the "hit or miss" that now prevails. C. D. Otis. PERPLEXED QUESTIONS. Is it possible that the florists of this country are going to be so shortsighted as to encourage the general use of arti- ficial flowers by using them in funeral work, thereby depreciating the value of natural flowers? The writer's atten- tion has just been called to an instance where a grower with a large retail busi- ness is using them extensively. It is hard to see how a grower could be so thoughtless. To my notion, this is the worst problem the trade has to face. Imagine the undertaker renting sprays for funerals, just as some of them do use door-pieces of artificial flowers. Ar- tificial flowers are all right in perma- nent decorations in some public places, but are out of place in any florist's shop. I think this matter should have atten- tion through our organizations. It is my opinion also that florists are getting timid about prices and over- anxious to reduce them. Prices of flow- ers are not out of proportion to other things. It is going to cost as much or more to do business the next twelve months as during the year 1918, and the florist who does not get good prices for his product probably will get to see the sheriff. It is hard for some mem- bers of the trade to understand this, but to me it seems that the florist has a right to make more than a bare ex- istence. I believe in getting good prices for our stock in trade at all times. We can do so if we will. If we maintain good prices throughout the year, we shall not have to increase prices notice- ably at any time of stringency or in- jure the business of the small florist in communities where high prices cannpt be asked at special times.

I would like to get information as to the proper method of growing lily of the valley, how to care for the pips, how to plant them and how much light, heat and water to give. How should the benches be arranged so as to keep the heat to the required degree? C. E. R.— Mass. For the successful growing of lily of the valley it is necessary to have a bench with hot water or steam pipes below it, which will insure a steady bottom heat of from 75 to 80 de- grees. Cold storage pips are the most satisfactory and will force into bloom in three or four weeks, with a top heat of 60 degrees. Place six inches of clean, sharp sand in the bench or benches and, after planting the pips in lines, soak them well with water and keep them well watered for ten to fourteen days. Also keep them perfectly dark by means of boards or cloths, in order to draw up the flower stalks. Give them a little light after fourteen days and, as the flowers start to open, if you want some foliage, give full light. Be care- ful, however, to give the light gradually and not to water at all while the flower spikes are pushing up. Newly imported valley will require longer to flower than cold storage stock and early in the sea- son will start irregularly. Board in your piping so as to be sure of a steady bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees. C. W. SPIRSA, ROSES AND VALLEY. Will you please give directions for forcing Holland-grown spiraea. Baby Rambler roses and lily of the valley? How long a time after they are potted is required to bring them into bloom, and what is the best temperature for them? L. K. M.— Pa. The white spiraeas, like Gladstone, will take nine to ten weeks to force into bloom, if started now and given a temperature of 60 degrees. For Easter flowering, with warmer weather, they should flower in two weeks less time. The requirements are an abundant water supply, spacing them well apart as they grow and not exposing them to any strong fumigants, like tobacco leaves or gas. Baby Rambler roses will flower in ten to twelve weeks, according to weather conditions and the temperatures given them. It is best to start them at 45 or 50 degrees, and later to give them 10 de- grees more heat, cooling them off gradu- ally as the flowers start to show color. Lily of the valley requires a bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees for the best results, and a top temperature 20 to 25 degrees lower. It does best if planted January 23, 1919. The Florists^ Review 19 in clean sand and kept dark until the spikes are well advanced. Then admit a little light to give the flowers sub- stance and to allow some leaf develop- ment. It takes three or four weeks to flower valley in the temperatures given. For pot culture you can give the plants full light, with a temperature of 60 degrees. This will give you good foli- age. C. W. TO PROTEST QUARANTINE. At a meeting of interested members of the trade held at the office of the S. A. F. in New York January 21, a brief pre- pared to be presented to the Secretary 01 Agriculture was completed and will be submitted to the board of directors of the society, for its official approval, at its meeting in Detroit, January 31, after which action to secure a proper hearing at Washington will be taken. BALTIMORE. The Market. The market this week is much easier than it has been for some time. Stock is more nearly equal to the demand; that is, if you are not too particular as to varieties. Eoses, sweet peas and carna- tions are the staples that the market de- pends upon, but there has been a fair supply of Paper Whites and freesia and Easter lilies are beginning to come again. Club Meeting. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club held its regular meeting January 13, with one of the largest turnouts we have had for some time. It was voted to amend the constitution, so that, instead of holding two meetings each month, we hold but one, on the second Monday. A letter was read from Henry A. Dreer, Inc., relative to the embargo that has been placed upon imported stock. When the members had this measure ex- plained to them they realized that it would be a detriment to everyone en- gaged in the trade in this country. The letter requested that each florist write his representative, protesting against the enactment of this law. After a lengthy discussion of the subject, it was decided that it would be a hard matter to make a congressman realize the evils of this law in a letter, so it was decided to make our protest personally. It was agreed to make the discussion of this question the business of the evening at the next meeting, which members of congress from the districts comprising Baltimore and vicinity will be invited to attend. Another thing that showed the feeling of the florists was a motion for a ban- quet at the annual election next month, by I. H. Moss, which was greeted with applause. Mr. Moss said, in offering his motion, that the florists had been through strenuous times, but the time had come, in his estimation, when the past must be forgotten and the florists must look forward to a brighter future; that the old adage still holds good that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Various Notes. Seidewitz Bros., at Old Pimlico road and Bplvedere avenue, were visited by a thief the other night, who first took the auto truck from the garage and then loaded it with the choicest plants in the greenhouse. But, as he was leaving, the sound of the engine attracted the attention of Mrs. Seidewitz, who had not gone to bed. She notified her son, who gave chase. In his haste, the thief tried to cross the golf course of the Maryland Athletic Club, where he upset the ma- chine, but he made good his escape. B. A. Vincent says he has never seen anything to equal the demand for gera- niums this winter. This is due largely to the closing of all or parts of some of the ranges, many of which may be start- ed again February 1. Mr. Vincent told me they are booking orders for as late as June delivery. He says it is abso- lutely impossible to keep up with orders at the present time. Every inch of space at the Vincent range is in use, and this concern had more stock this winter than usual. A visitor this week was Harry Turner, of the Morris Nursery Co. Mr. Turner addressed the club and was optimistic in his remarks over the outlook for busi- ness in the florists' line, as well as in the nursery trade. The notable feature of this club meeting was that everyone seemed to have taken a fresh grip on life. Tate. LANCASTER, PA. Club Meeting. The Lancaster county florists held their club meeting January 16 at 7:30 p. m. in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, jointly with that of the Ladies' Auxiliary, with an attendance of thirty. President Elmer J. Weaver called on four of the florists who at- tended the publicity meeting in Phil- adelphia to address the meeting and all spoke enthusiastically of the interest de- veloped at the Philadelphia meeting and urged the florists to contribute to this fund for national publicity. Resolutions were adopted conveying the sympathy of the club to the family of William Aherne, of Columbia, who died recently. President Weaver announced the fol- lowing committees for 1919: Program: B. F. Barr, Charles M. Weaver, M. J. Brinton. Visiting: Harry K. Rohrer, L. S. Landis, W. B. Girvin. Member- ship: Charles B. Herr, Ira H. Landis, J. Ritter Hess. Exhibition: A. K. Rohrer, Rudolph Nagel, J. Wade Gayley. For the Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. Albert M. Herr read a paper on the subject of "War Gardens," which brought out a lively discussion. Mrs. B. F. Harr invited the Florists' Club to meet jointly with the Ladies' Auxiliary at her beautiful country home, "Avondale," March 20. Her invitation was accepted with much pleasure. A social hour followed. At the suggestion of B. F. Barr, the club went on record as opposed to the contemplated embargo on imports of plants and bulbs. The next meeting of the club, to be held February 20, will be preceded by a visit to the carnation growers at Strasburg. Various Notes. At the range of Ira H. Landis, at Par- adise, Pa., the carnations are looking exceptionally well. Supreme, Matchless and Ward are the standard varieties grown here. Eureka, for a red sort, is extra well done. A house planted to freesias promises a wealth of bloom in a few weeks. Beds of calendulas are fine. Several beds are planted to Iris tingi- tana, which is much liked here. At the store of B. F. Barr, Buddleia asiatica and scarlet and gold wall- flowers are attracting considerable at- tention. John F. Bupp, Shiremanstown, and Dennis J. Keohane, of Henry F. Michell Co., were visitors to the club this week. H. K. R. TORONTO, ONT. .The Market. ^ Toronto has had a remarkably mild winter, but this has not helped the grow- ers, for flowers never have been so scarce. Business is brisk, in spite of the shortage of stock, however, and prices high. Russell roses command from $15 to $40 per hundred and other flowers in proportion, according to quality. But the demand exceeds the supply, even at these figures. Carnations are scarce also and range from $5 per hundred for the light-colored varieties upwards. Bulb- ous stock is in fair supply and of good quality. Club Meetings. The Toronto Retail Florists' Club at its monthly meeting planned for a social meeting January 27 and a ball February 5. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club held a meeting January l4, at which eighteen new members were enrolled. Herman Summers read a paper on ' ' The Embargo on. Plants and Shrubs." Various Notes. Social affairs are numerous in Toronto once more and H. G. Dillemuth has had a number of fine decorations of late. John H. Dunlop's cut of roses is good and he reports good retail business. J. J. Higgins, J. S. Simmons and J. A. Neal all report that orders are in excess of stock available with which to fill them. J. J. H. DEPOSIT ON EENTIA LEAVES. I am sending you part of a kentia leaf which is covered with a glossy substance, said to be a fungous growth. I would like to know if it is injurious to the plant and what will remedy it. P. S.— Mo. The kentia leaflet referred to was quite dry when received, but it showed a slight deposit on the upper side, such as may have been caused by aphis, or it may be the result of using some soapy or oily insecticide. So far as one may judge from the specimen forwarded, there is nothing to be alarmed about and no special indica- tion of any fungoid trouble. It is prob- able that this deposit will wear off gradually, with regular syringing, unless it is caused by something in the water supply. W. H. T. Akron, O. — Following the gathering of the chrysanthemum crop, James Sal- mon & Son closed up their establish- ment, retiring to enjoy the fortune netted by combined good luck and an honorable career. It would not sur- prise the craft to see them launch forth again, however, and honorable compet- itors are always welcomed. 20 The Florists^ Review Januabt 23, 1919. BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. New York, N. Y. — Seaman Miller, ref- eree in bankruptcy, has given notice that a second first meeting of the creditors of Anglin & Walsh will be held at his office, 2 Eector street, January 30, for the purpose of electing a trustee. Anglin & Walsh were declared bankrupt April 2, 1918, and a creditors' first meeting was held April 25, but the trustee then elected failed to qualify; hence the sec- ond first meeting. PITTSBXJBGH. The Market. Business continues fair, with no ex- traordinary demand in the city market, although the demand for funeral work in some of the suburban towns, such as Sharpsburg, Aspinwall and Wilkinsburg, is making almost as heavy inroads on both natural and artificial products as during the autumn and early winter months. There are not nearly enough roses or carnations. The latter command from $4 to $6 per hundred at the commission houses. Eoses bring from $6 to $20. A few lilies arrive daily and make $20. Baby primroses are in favor just now and plants in 4-inch pots move well at $2.50 per dozen. Sweet peas are scarce and the lily crop is shortening up. Violets are not moving well, but Paper Whites, on the contrary, and white nar- cissi are quickly taken. Various Notes. A conference of the National Associa- tion of Gardeners, January 21, at the Hotel Chatham, was under the auspices of the local committee, composed of David Fraser, chairman, Augustus Frish- korn and Ernest Guter. A meeting of the board of directors at 3 o'clock was followed by a general program con- tributed by President Robert Weeks, of Cleveland, O.; Secretary Martin C. Ebel, editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle of America; Superintendent William Fal- coner, of the Allegheny cemetery, and others. Decorator John F. Scott has returned to his headquarters with Miss Emma B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg, following a six weeks' absence. This is the first illness Mr. Scott has experienced during the twelve years he has been with Miss Maxwell. Joseph Leo Giesey, the Wilkinsburg florist, has engaged Miss Kathryn Mc- Givern for his salesroom, in addition to extra temporary help at his Walnut street range, in anticipation of the East- er season. Mr. Giesey is growing quan- tities of exceptionally fine baby prim- roses. William M. Turner, of Penn avenue, Wilkinsburg, has returned from a two weeks' hunting trip in Fulton county, on which he was accompanied by two friends. He is now having a beautiful auto robe made from the skins of three whitetail deer. The largest animal weighed 225 pounds. Accompanied by Mrs. McClemcnts, Samuel McClements left January 13 for a fortnight's sojourn at The Strand, At- lantic City. Both Gilbert P. Weaklon and James Murray McGrew are victims of the pre- vailing epidemic. The business is be- ing conducted by Miss Rebecca Shaffer, secretary of G. P. Weaklen & Co., who is being helped out through the McCal- lum Co. sending Earl C. Tipton out to take charge of the salesroom. Harvey V, Poor, a medical student at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, also comes in even- ings and Saturdays. Mr. and Mrs. George Marshall left early last week for Oklahoma, where they will spend a few weeks with rela- tives of Mrs. Marshall. Meanwhile Mr. Marshall's end of the business is be- ing supervised by Earl J. Hunkle. The Misses Elizabeth, Katherine, Delia and Edith Weber, of the H. Weber & Sons Co., conducting business in Oakland, Md., and Clarksburg and Fairmont, W. Va., were recent visitors in town, and called upon the Ludwig Floral Co. The late H. Weber, their father, had business relations with Julius W. and Gustav Ludwig forty years ago, having supplied them with his choice products for many years. Oliver H. Langhans has finally been mustered out of the service at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O., following more than a year in the spruce production work at Vancouver, Wash., and Clatsop, Ore. He returned home January 12 and is having a real vacation visiting his many friends and relatives throughout western Pennsylvania, before returning to the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. Mrs. Harry J. Hamm has returned from Baltimore, where she has been since her marriage to Sergeant Hamm last August. Mrs. Hamm is making her home with her husband's parents and brother, Allen J. Hamm. The latter is conducting the business during his brother 's service at Camp Holabird, Bal- timore, with Company P of the Motor Transport Corps. Meanwhile she is be- ing initiated into the mysteries of the floral business, in which she undoubtedly will be of invaluable assistance^ It is with regret that we note the re- cent deaths of Mrs. Thomas Balderston and Miss Olive Balderston, of Wood- ville, both of whom were victims of in- fluenza and died within the same week. Mrs. Balderston was the sister of Sam- uel Cape, of Butler street, Lawrence- ville, this city, whose greenhouse is in charge of Mr. Balderston. Mrs. Agnes B. Telers has recently become associated with Mr. Cape's sales staff. For exhibition purposes, the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. recently received a sam- ple lot of Premier roses. They arrived too late, however, for the current meet- ing of the Pittsburgh Florists' Club, at which they were to have been ex- hibited. Several days have elapsed meanwhile, and the roses remain in fine condition. The February meeting of the Pitts- burgh Florists' Club, February 4, at the North Side Carnegie Library auditorium, will be the occasion of the annual election of officers, to be followed by a smoker in honor of the event. Walter Cook, of Cleveland, O., was the guest of the organization at the January session, having come over to urge the florists to fight the new em- bargo act. Apropos of this measure, a committee composed of Benjamin L. Elliott, chairman, C. H. Semple, of Springdale, and Augustus Frishkorn, was appointed to file a protest with the local congressmen. During the meeting, Baur & Steinkamp, of Indianapolis, Ind., exhibited Ruth Baur, a new carnation of an exquisite pink shade, to which was awarded a first-class certificate. James Murphy, of Sewickley Heights, also showed a beautiful specimen of Carna- tion Laddie, which he had grown on the estate of H. Lee Mason, Jr. E. E. S. BUFFALO, N. Y. The Market. Added to the unusual conditions, dur- ing which one need not be surprised at anything that may take place, we are experiencing a novel winter. When we compare the weather and the difficulties of January, 1918, with present condi- tions, the contrast is 'great. Last winter the trade was hunting high and low, with tears, for materials for wrapping orders and for fuel. This winter con- ditions are just the reverse. We have had a week with slight frosts and Jan- uary 11 was a day suitable for the dis- play of ferns outside. The market is recovering from the backset of last week. Stock is moving steadily, which is an indication that counter sales are improving. Stock is sufficient also to go around. During the entire week there has been a good demand for funeral flowers. Much of this is due to the sporadic in- crease of the "flu." The increased supply of carnations has come in handy for this, and this demand has served to prevent a serious break in the market price of these flowers. This increased supply of carnations is said to be due to the first crop being cut from late-plant- ed stock. Much planting was done when the trade got news of the prospect of a coal supply. This late planting also has been responsible for much of the short- stemmed stock we have been handling. Roses are improving rapidly, both in supply and quality, and the prospect is that we shall have plenty throughout February. Paper Whites are plentiful and the stock is good and prices hold steadily. Various Notes. The retail florists had a banquet at the Iroquois hotel January 15. Seven- teen of the twenty-four members of the retail trade attended, this number comprising the leaders. As is often said, "Successful men have foresight; others follow, though slowly." The retailers are organized to sell at uniform prices. The success of this plan can readily be imagined. Any man in the trade, wheth- er a member of the club or not, will see that his business has become more profitable since the leaders have come together. Still a great percentage neglects to join. Not every retailer has given his busi- ness a Christmas gift. Charles Felton has done this by way of a new Overland delivery car. It is reported that the tulip bulbs are not coming into flower satisfactorily. The opinion is that the bulbs have not been properly matured. The William Scott Co., Inc., has as fine a stock of cyclamens as anyone could wish for. This firm is making a record anyone might be proud of. William H. Grever, Allen street, re- ports a 100 per cent increase in the vol- ume of trade over that of last year. This is Mr. Grever 's second year in business. Success was his lot from the start. He enjoys a good share of the best trade of the city. Nothing but the best is handled at his shop. F. P. A. Januabx 23, 1919. The Florists^ Review 21 OBITUARY Oonrad Frauenf elder. The trade in Chicago has lost one of its most respected members in the death of Conrad Frauenfelder, which occurred January 19, after a brief illness with pneumonia. Mr. Frauenfelder attended the Victory dinner of the Chicago Flo- rists' Club on the evening of January 9, with his family. It was the last time he left his home. Mr. Frauenfelder was born in Switzer- land May 12, 1857. He took up garden- ing as a profession and followed it in his native land and in Paris, but came to America while still a young man, in 1879, locating at Chicago, where he found employment on the Teufel place, at Walnut and Leavitt streets. He re- mained there until 1883, when he started in business for himself on the site the business occupies today. In 1885, how- ever, Mr. Frauenfelder disposed of the place to Mr. Mailander, and from 1885 to 1896 he operated the Garfield Eose Co., on West Madison street, for the Peck estate. This was the establish- ment afterwards operated by Oechslin Bros., and Frank Oechslin, later passing back into the hands of Mr. Frauenfelder and his sister, the late Mrs. Annie Decker. In 1896, when Mr. Frauenfelder left the Garfield Eose Co., he took back the business at 3343 West Madison street and rebuilt the establishment, in- cluding the store and apartment build- ing and the greenhouses in the rear. Shortly after, in 1899, C. J. Michelsen became his right-hand man and con- tinued with him until 1907. Mr. Frauen- felder for many years has done one of the largest retail businesses on the west side of Chicago, being one of the largest buyers in the Chicago market. He pros- pered, his object always being to see that every customer was pleased, and his word and his work were soon found to be dependable in every particular. The family consists of the widow and two daughters, Edna and Hazel. Miss Edna Frauenfelder has for some time been her father's chief assistant in the store and will carry on the business. She is well known in the trade. Mr. Frauenfelder was a member of the Chicago Florists' Club, of the Illinois State Florists' Association, of the So- ciety of American Florists and other trade organizations. He was high in Masonry and the remains lay in state in the West Chicago Masonic temple on the morning of January 22, preceding the funeral, which was in charge of the Masonic bodies both at the temple and at Forest Home cemetery. The funeral was largely attended, by Masons and by florists, many of the trade also send- ing flowers. Frank Quillan. Frank Quillan, who died of pneu- monia in Seattle, Wash., January 15, was born in 1881, in Oklahoma. At an early age he became connected with the Stiles Floral Co., of Oklahoma City, in which association he continued for sev- eral years. He had been a resident of Seattle for several years when he pur- chased, in 1918, the Washington Floral Co. He grew a miscellaneous assort- nient of stock and was meeting with success in his business when he was ftaken ill. He leaves a wife and two chil- dren. Mr. Quillan had » high standing in the trade and will be mcJurned by a large circle of friends. ^>y) W. S. G. Gus Schlegel. Gus Schlegel, who operated about 28,000 feet of glass at Olney, 111., doing a prosperous wholesale and retail busi- ness, died January 7, after a brief ill- ness, and was buried in Waldheim cem- etery, Chicago. Mrs. Schlegel will dis- pose of the greenhouses. Herman Harvey. The body of a young man killed in the wreck of the Wolverine Flyer at South Byron, N. Y., has been identified as that of Herman Harvey, son of S. A. Harvey, a florist of Grand Haven, Mich. Young Mr. Harvey was 23 years of age and was wearing a ring belonging to his brother, Lieutenant S. D. Harvey, who died at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich., a year ago. The ring was in- scribed with the name and company of the latter, who was in the 32nd Michi- gan Infantry, and it was by means of this inscription that the identification was made. The news of his death came as a great shock not only to his parents, but to many friends. John H. Slocombe. The death of John H. Slocombe, well known florist of New Haven, Conn., which occurred January 11, was the result of illness which culminated in a paralytic stroke some months ago. Mr. Slocombe was an expert grower of vio- lets and sweet peas, and his chrysanthe- mums and dahlias also had brought him renown. He had exhibited in flower shows in nearby cities and been awarded numerous prizes. Frederick Louis Diserens. Frederick Louis Diserens, who died January 14 at his home in Cedar Eapids, la., had been connected with the trade since 1913, when he resigned his po- sition as superintendent of the street railway system of Cedar Eapids and built the range known as the North- view Greenhouses in that city. Mr. Dis- erens was born in Cincinnati in 1864. He attended the Boston Technological Institute and was graduated qs a civil engineer. In 1882 he married Miss Lucy L. Lemon, who survives him, as do his two sons, Frederick L., II, who is a horticulturist, and Albert J. Diserens, in whose name the business of the firm was conducted. A daughter, Mary, also survives. The Diserens brothers both have been in military service, as has been noted in The Eeview, Albert having reached home just before his father's last illness began. Mr. Diserens was a member of the local Masonic chapter, known as Mount Hermon lodge No. 263, A. F. & A. M., Cedar Chapter O. E. S., Apollo Com- mandery No. 26 K. T., El Kahir Temple, A. A. N. M. S., Iowa Consistory No. 2, A. S. A. S. E. He also belonged to the Cedar Eapids lodge No. 251, B. P. O. E., and he was a member of Grace Epis- copal church. John H. Dillon. John H. Dillon, for many years con- nected with the park and recreation de- partments of the city of Boston and for some years chairman of the board, died of pneumonia at his home, 547 Blue Hill avenue. Grove Hall, January 19. The de- ceased was born in Dorchester in 1856. In his youth he worked with his father, who was a horticulturist. Later he en- tered the employ of Marshall P. Wilder, president of the American Pomological Society and of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society. He also served under other florists before entering the Boston Public Gardens under Supt. Doogue. He was foreman of the city greenhouses and public gardens for many years. For some time he was foreman at Forest Hills cemetery and after that he was with Warren S. Ewell, the Dorchester florist, who was a noted bulb specialist. Again entering the service of the city of Boston, he took charge of the public gardens and was responsible some years ago for much elaborate carpet bedding. Under Mayor Curley's administration he was appointed chairman of the park and recreation departments at a salary of $5,000, a position from which he re- tired under the present city administra- tion, resuming an old position as fore- man, from which he retired some time ago. Mr. Dillon is survived by his widow and two stepchildren. Interment was at Mount Calvary cemetery, January 21. There was a large attendance and many floral tributes were noted. W. N. 0. f :: lUi,»5JJi|i}JJiOnK51l MOTT-LY MUSINGS Anent the coming carnation conven- tion, to be held in Cleveland January 29 and 30, the air is charged with sur- prises to all those who accept the gen- eral cordial invitation. Even old Boreas has been petitioned to relax his energies around that time, to permit the show to be a positive success. • • • O. W. Clark & Son, of Buffalo, N. Y., are one of the few seed houses which received a full supply of Dutch bulbs of extra fine quality. They seem to have an oversupply and as doubtless many florists would gladly exchange good money for them, an ad in The Ee- view is a likely means of making the trade. Wood & Co., of Cleveland, O., are re- ceiving and distributing 100,000 gladi- olus bulbs from a local grower. These figures convey some idea of the enor- mous quantity of this stock in existence at home. What must the total be in the general harvest throughout the country! This flower was popularized last season as never before and doubtless the com- ing season will see all predecessors eclipsed. * • * H. L. Coffin, vice-president of the Woodruff-Boyce Seed Co., Seattle, be- lieves that eventually, if not now, cab- bage will be grown as successfully for seed in the state of Washington as in Denmark. W.

The Beview brings results. If you can not propagate geraniums you can at least start plenty of petunia seeds. With Mistletoe and Hamburg Late White the chrysanthemum season may be made to last practically all winter. Martin Kohankie says Delphinium Belladonna blooms the first year from seed and, with good cultivation, is prac- tically everDlooming. How infinitely better are the conditions now than those of a year ago; and how much brighter the future looks! Let us not be inappreciative. It is the general opinion that St. Val- entine's day is increasing rapidly in im- portance as a flower day. Let us also note why it is increasing: Because flo- rists individually are advertising in their own neighborhoods the suitability of flow- ers for cxi)rossing the sentiments of the day. "The Lord helps those who help themselves. ' ' The trade is to be congratulated that business is holding up better than it is in most lines of trade. It is a general com- plaint that things are pretty dull, even in such essential lines as the food trade and wearing apparel, but florists are go- ing right ahead; we have passed the rush due to the epidemic, peace and Christmas, but business is much larger than a year ago. Stock has not been so scarce as ex- pected in January, with the result that prices have been lower than many of us thought they would be. The condition has been due, it seems, almost entirely to the generally mild, bright weather, which has been extremely favorable to cut flower production, in direct contrast to the unprecedentedly severe weather con- ditions which prevailed last year in Jan- uary. Business is not quite up to the high-tide mark of the last quarter of 1918, but demand is far ahead of a year ago this month. Numerous growers of general stock have stretched the chrysanthemum season to meet the spring flowers. As A straw which shows which way the wind is blowing, this issue of The Review is eight pages larger than the issue of this week a year ago. Some people find it difficult to remem- ber when Easter falls this year, and yet nothing is easier to keep in mind. Easter comes the first Sunday after the full moon after the vernal equinox. " If we could have Charles Grakelow as chairman of our publicity meetings," says Henry Penn, "we would not have to ask for funds. As a producer of the goods he is 100 per cent perfect. ' ' W. H. Reeser, of the Urbana Floral Co., Urbana, O,, thinks the bougainvillea wiU come into its own this year as an Easter plant. He says he considers it among our most worthy subjects. The Society of American Florists soon will inaugurate the publication of a monthly bulletin, the first issue of which is on the press. It is to take the plaee of the annual book of proceedings, which has grown to large size, cost an important sum and been little read. The society dues wDl include a subscription to the bulletin without extra cost to members. GOOD-BYE TO BOOZE. Florists cannot possibly lose a cent by the success national prohibition achieved last week. Liquor and flow- ers never had anything in common. Among florists' patrons there were few who made their money making alcoholic beverages, and there were far less flower buyers among those who sell the stuff, while among those who use it — well, the men who frequent the saloons are not the ones who "Say It with Flowers." National prohibition will mean for the florists' trade that an unimaginable sum of money heretofore spent in ways that carried it far out and beyond the reach of florists, hereafter vdll be spent in other channels, none of which lead less directly to the flower store than do the liquor routes. "We win; we cannot lose. HELP! HELP!! PJach week in the office of The Re- view practically all the work of getting the paper out is done in three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday — Thursday, Friday and Saturday have been useful principally for getting ready for the next week's rush. But we have got to change the sys- tem. The work is so heavy at the first of the week that overtime has been neces- sary— about four days of working time has been put in during the first three days of the week. But overtime costs double wages — four days' time and five (lays' pay is about the way it has fig- ured out. In other words, for each working week The Review has paid for two extra days to accommodate its late patrons. At present high wages it is impossible to keep it up. Advertisers will assist materially in keeping down the cost of printing if they send their instructions Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Practically every ad received Tuesday calls for the pay- ment of overtime. ANOTHER LOAN COMING. The trade, which did so much better than expected on the Fourth Liberty Loan, is asked to set the same commit- tees at work preliminary to a fifth loan, the Victory Loan, to be floated early in the spring. The Liberty Loan Press Bureau is getting things in training for the big drive. In its appeal for the support of the trade it states the situation thus: * ' With the late press dispatches stat- ing that a situation exists in Europe under which war may break out at any moment and that the German army, still consisting of some millions of soldiers, remains a potential military machine, the necessity of maintaining a strong army on the Rhine is more imperative than ever. Uncle Sam is spending money at the rate of $300,000,000 a week, part of which goes to maintain the army of occupation, part to put the wounded men back on their feet, and part to pay insurance claims and to bring home the victorious Yanks. "The florists' trade suffered during the period of war, but in spite of that the florists came to the front in every war emergency. "We now have another emergency. Are we going to stand by our guns, by Uncle Sam, by our record?" SAME TO YOUI The New Year is the time for check- ing up on affairs of all sorts, as well as for the making of good resolutions. It is the season for planning for "addi- tions, alterations and amendments" in business and all that pertains to its suc- cessful conduct, for such changes of policy as may conduce to greater pros- perity and larger returns for effort ex- pended and capital invested. It is a good time to arrange for expert advice on cultural problems and for keeping in touch with all that goes on in the trade, to say nothing of connecting up with a reliable medium of publicity, one that reaches the greatest number engaged in the florists' business, so that the grower may know where to market his product and the florist where to obtain his sup- plies. Renewing his subscription to The Review, a southern florist has attained these ends and provided them at the same time for one in the trade whose success he desires to promote: • • • Also enter a subscription for one year for my sister, Mrs. Annie Smith, CardweU, Va., who Is undertaking commercial flowers, outside only. The Review will be a great help to her. No one interested in flowers can afford to be without The Review, which, like wine, con- tinues to improve with age. May the New Year bring you full measure of continued prosperity, health and life's sunshine. — Roy Duff, Danville, Va., January 6, 1919. About the first act of a beginner in the business is to subscribe for The Review. CHIOAGO. The Market. The return of a brisk city business, with a large increase in funeral work, has made the market much stronger than in the first half of January. Shipping continues as strong as ever, with city retail work going along in fine shape, better than it has been for the last few weeks. This has resulted in a shortage of stock, mostly roses. When the trade has time to take its thoughts from the present-day business, it centers on St. Valentine's day and it is the belief of Jandaby 23, 1919.

Stock is coming in good shape and in good supply. Prices continue to hold up stiff. The rose situation is much changed from last week. Medium and short- stemmed stock in every variety can in no way supply the trade's immediate needs. There is, however, enough long- stemmed stock to go around. Prices con- tinue strong. Beauties in all lengths of stem are scarce and have advanced in price. An abundant supply of carna- tions continues to come in, with prices remaining the same as in the last few weeks. Fancy stock sells well and is none too plentiful, but there is a small outlet for the large quantity of splits coming in, in spite of the large run of funeral work. Some of the stock has been so poor that it is unsalable. Orchids remain on the long side and have dropped a notch in price. A steady call for valley continues and there is just about enough to go around. Violets still arrive in quantity and there are more than enough for the present demand. Callas are still on the short side, while Easter lilies are moderately plentiful, there being enough to fill all orders. Calendulas are somewhat scarce; likewise sweet peas, although the pick of the latter has been increased and im- proved by the bright weather. Stevia is extremely short and is about over for the season. There is still a shortage of yellow narcissi, but Paper Whites are plentiful.

Paul Thiele, who was a grower for Anthony Batek, present owner of the F. F. Sheel greenhouses at Shermerville, was killed by the cars at the Morton Grove station January 12.

No one here knows the address of any of his relatives. Mr. Batek hopes to hear from them as the result of this paragraph.

Russells have not lost any of their popularity in the eyes of C. L. Wash- burn, of Bassett & Washburn, who com- ments on the excellent results this rose has brought his firm this season. Many in the trade have wondered what has become of Theodore Kirschen, manager for Oscar Leistner. His where- abouts is now known. He is in France with the intelligence department of the A. E. F., having landed at a French port about Christmas time. Eric Johnson indicates the belief that this month will go on record as the best January ever known by the trade as a whole.

The amount of coal consumed this winter is small, compared with last winter. But even with the warm weather, there is likely to be an- other shortage of flowers, especially of carnations. Roses are in fair supply, also sweet peas, calendulas and bulbous stock, such as Romans and Paper Whites. Business continues heavy. Various Notes. Niednagel & Sons are still cutting carnations, but the crop is going off. C. L. Niednagel is propagating the Columbia rose as largely as he has space for it. He has 7,000 cuttings in the sand. The William Blackman Floral Co. is making changes in its store, enlarging the oflBce space and providing room over- head for storage. George Blackman spent a few days with Anders Rasmussen at the home of the latter in New Albany, after which he visited in Louisville. Karl Zeidler has several benches of lettuce coming on. Royston & Fenton report a strong de- mand for coleus. E. L. F. COLUMBUS, O. Business has been quiet of late, com- pared with the early weeks of winter, but still the demand keeps all hands busy. Stock is plentiful, but high prices pre- vail. While there is not nearly the same amount of stock disposed of as in for- mer years, receipts are not reduced, as prices are almost double. Roses are of fine quality and include Russell, Ophelia, Shawyer, the Killar- neys, etc. Carnations are more plenti- ful and, though prices are high, the de- mand cleans them up daily. Narcissi are in fair supply and sweet peas of the ordinary sorts are arriving. A few of the orchid-flowering varieties are noted, but the growers report the buds dropping from the sweet pea vines. Vio- lets are good and the demand cleans up receipts as they arrive. Lilies are scarce. Potted plants are scarce, except cycla- mens, of which a few good specimens remain. Prices are down on these lines, as compared with those of a few weeks ago. Primroses are fair, but not well developed, as holiday demands cleaned out all the best plants. Letters to friends in the trade from Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Roth, who are spend- ing the winter in Florida for the benefit of Mrs. Roth 's health, indicate that they intend to reopen their range in the spring. J. M. 28 The Florists^ Review Jandabt 23, 1919.

INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Market conditions have undergone little change during the week. A few inferior carnations have put in an ap- pearance, but, on the whole, carnations are of good quality and hold up well in price. Average prices are from $6 to $8, but fancies still bring $10. Roses are not keeping abreast of the demand, which is strong. Narcissi have taken a slump. Last week the general price was $6, but it has dropped from $6 to $3, there being an ample supply on hand. Excellent long-stemmed freesias are a factor in the market. In general, free- sias are more conspicuous and make from $S to $10, according to quality. Funeral work is the mainstay of the market. Consequently, lilies meet with ready sale and all stock available is utilized. Easter lilies are scarce, but callas are more ample. As usual, Bweet peas are good prop- erty. They are coming in faster now, but are not plentiful and meet with im- mediate sale. Other small flowers for corsage and table use include orchids, valley, violets, pansies, mignonette, mar- guerites and calendulas. Jonquils are beginning to appear and, as a first breath of spring, are warmly welcomed. They may claim the honor of being the most popular spring decorative flower, as they are always in favor for spring baskets, banquet tables, parties, etc. An unusual demand for potted green- house plants has been experienced this winter. Good plants have been and are good property. Cyclamens, Chatelaine begonias, Lorraine begonias, Primula obconica, P. malacoides and P. rosea are leaders in this class. The cut blooms of the baby primrose have been popular in bouquets, baskets, etc. Potted ferns are also popular. Green goods are not going to waste and plumosus continues scarce. Various Notes.

Mr. Florist, did yoil ever ask S = yourself why this organization has grown to such an enviable position? Let E E us tell you just a few of the reasons. 5 S 1. We have recognized from the very beginning that our customers must = = be treated as a part of the concern. To do this successfully, the prices must E E be low and the goods satisfactory. E S 2. Claims of one kind or another, we have always treated with the S E utmost respect, resultant in a suitable adjustment always in favor of our S 3 customers. = E 3. The men behind the Boston Floral Supply Co. are always on the 3 E alert in keeping costs down. We do this by buying our raw stock in large S = quantities and for cash. You can easily see how such methods give our E E buyers tremendous buying advantage in the market. E = 4. Our Basket department, Cycas department. Wax Flower department E E or Wire department, each must pay for itself or it gets out. Therefore we E E have no dead department. = E 5. Every one drawing a salary in the Boston FloralVSupply Co. earns E E every dollar by being actively engaged in the business; therefore no dead S = weight. E E 6. There is absolutely no unnecessary expense allowed to creep in any- = S where. E E Mr. Florist, all we ask of you is to investigate the Boston Floral Supply = = Co. for your own sake and you will find in the long run that it will pay you E E to deal with us.

Conditions in the wholesale market have not changed materially since the last report. All seasonable flowers con- tinue scarce, with slight advances in prices on first-quality stock. Arrivals of roses and carnations are not large. The majority of the local growers are off crop and, only for the fine weather, the shortage would have been greater. The retailers say the demand is not so brisk as it should be and that the high prices are to blame for the slack condition. It is mainly funeral work that is keep- ing them busy. Little stock is left in the flower mar- ket after the morning sales, owing to the fact that there is no oversupply. Ophelia, Russell, Ward, Stanley and Co- lumbia roses sold well throughout the week. Carnations, too, have cleared daily. In fact, there has not been enough stock to supply the demand, with the top price $6 per dozen. Sweet peas are in plentiful supply at from $1 to $2.50 per hundred. Violets of quality have been selling well at $1.50 per hundred for the best. Lilies, Paper Whites and valley have been plentiful, likewise ca- lendulas and mignonette. Greens are in great demand. Meetings. The publicity committee held a spe- cial meeting January 14, with the larg- est attendance for several months. In- teresting discussions on advertising the flower days, on high prices during the month of December for cut stock, and on articles published in the daily papers, occupied attention. These articles stat- ed that it would cost big money to * * Say It with Flowers" this year. Several of the retailers say that these statements injured business during the holidays. It was decided to hold a special meeting of this committee January 21 to arrange for several large newspaper advertise- ments for St. Valentine's day. Chairman Hummert called a meeting January 14 of the banquet committee, at which it was decided to hold the flo- rists' Victory banquet February 5, at the Planters' hotel, in the ballroom.

Those who have flowers are now com- paring results with the results of two years, instead of with last year's re- turns. This comparison furnishes the strongest indication of the improvement iu business since the war ended. Of course it is not everybody who has flowers. A good many have not, but it shows the tide is turning in our favor. The usual period of post-holiday dull- ness has passed, but there has been no dullness. There is every indication that the activity of the flower market will continue throughout the remainder of the winter. The only changes in mar- ket conditions over those of a week ago are a further decline in the prices of car- nations and a disposition on the part of the buyers to take medium and short- stemmed roses in preference to the fancy grades. There is no change in the listed prices of carnations. They still stand at $6 to $8. The change lies in the large number sold at the lower price. The deep colors usually bring the higher figure, the white the lower. Orchids are abundant. As prices de- cline, more buyers are using them. Vio- lets, too, are cheaper. The early spring flowers are more in evidence, especially Paper White narcissi, freesias and sweet peas. Valley is still to be had. A good deal of business is being done with Easter lilies and some with callas. Snapdragon is not yet abundant. The out-of-town orders are the strength of the market. Transportation is, in the main, excellent. Much good stock is shipped daily. The inauguration of the new governor at Ilarrisburg created a demand for many of the finest flowers. There is some entertaining and there are some sad remembrances, which now seem to require as many colored flowers as white. The Big Three. The person who knows nothing about BERGER BROS.

Edmund Dornheim and William G. Stephen are clever salesmen. Philip Freud, who has made bulbs one of his special studies, believes that it will be two years at least before the re- turn of normal conditions in Holland. He says that while his firm, the Henry F. Michell Co., could have sold many more Dutch bulbs, the season was satisfac- tory because the bulbs were of fine qual- ity and because they were all sold. Mr. Freud endorses the view that this mar- ket will be bare of cold storage Lilium giganteum until next fall. Phil. NEW YOEK The Market. The market is practically unchanged. The demand is small, in comparison with what is ordinarily expected at this sea- son, but still the supply is such as barely to cover it. The supply of inies is decreasing con- siderably, owing to the shortage of bulbs. Shippers, who for a long time have made daily shipments, now skip a week occasionally, and 20 cents per bud and bloom continues to be the price. There probably will be a fair supply for Easter, but after that date it is doubt- ful whether lilies will be in regular sup- ply- There are more violets available, the plants having recovered from the condi- tions precipitated by the recent mild weather. With lower temperatures, supplies have increased. Roses continue in short supply, and early shopping must be done if require- ments are to be covered. It is a producers' market, but while prices are much higher than customary, the growers assert they are not unduly high, considering circumstances.

Carnations have advanced in price, due to a great amount of funeral work, which has been in evidence for some days. January 19 and 21 the call for white varieties was particularly heavy, out of all proportion to the supply. Orchids are in plenty and appear to clean up fairly well, though they drag at times. The price range is from 20 cents to 50 cents, the latter figure cov- ering only the best. Gardenias are plentiful, but move well. Culls and inferior blooms may be had at as low as $2 per dozen, but long-stemmed stock, with perfect flower heads, brings as high as $9. There is a limited supply of bulbous flowers. A few freesias, narcissi and tulips are arriving, and move quickly, but there is no sign of an influx such as was wont to occur in former years. This condition, of course, tends to hold up the values of other flowers. Sweet peas are coming in greater quantity, although there is little change in the quality, short-stemmed stock be- ing the rule rather than the exception. They continue at $4 for the best, with a few specials bringing $.j per hundred. There is an adequate supply of wall- flowers, calendulas, bouvardia, stevia and the like, all moving well at remuner- ative prices. Various Notes.

Ijittle difference is seen in the florists' activities this last week from those re- corded a week ago. Business is quiet throughout this section. The extreme shortage of cut flowers tends to hold prices up. With bright days and light frosts at night, the weather is springlike and this condition benefits our business by bringing more stock into the market and undoubtedly will bring down prices. Carnations during the last week have been more plentiful and bring from $o to $6 per hundred for good stock. The majority of them arc of splendid qual- ity. In roses the supply at ])rcscnt bal- ances the demand, which is not large. Columbia, Sunburst and September Morn are in strong demand. Prima Don- na, Ophelia, Maryland, the Killarneys and the Wards move well. Good Scott Keys and Hoosier Beauties sell well.

Among the many communications of a commendatory character received by our promotion bureau in the second week of (he 1919 campaign, it is pleasing to note those from the following: G. E. M. Stumpp, New York: "En- closed please find my clieck for $300, in payment of my share for the 1919 pub- licity campaign to promote the sale of flewers. I consider it a pleasure to pav this bill, but feel tliat this act alone is FOREIGN SECTION LIVERPOOL, EHeiAND DINGLEYS,Lt p^.D. ( SHOP ) MADISON, WIS. RENTSCHLER FLORAL CO. g.^T.^p'. Fort Atkinson, Wis. CLOUTE BROS., florists ity of florists do practically no adver- tising, being content to take such cus- tom as comes to them naturally, the raising of the publicity fund has meant no small task for the committees to un- dertake. Although my own contribu- tion is not large, I do appreciate the ^vo^k the committees have done and are doing." Philip Breitmeyer, of John Breitmey- fr's Sons, Detroit, Mich.: "I enclose herewith check for $100 in payment of our subscription for 1919, as per agree- ment. I realize that, as the season ad- vances, and if the work is kept up, it ■^'ill be necessary to have further sub- scriptions, and I am sure that your 'old reliable' can be looked upon for his share as time goes on."

And would you not have been pleased to get such a pertinent reminder as ours when turning over the pages of your favorite magazine?

They have realized to the full the great benefit of our pub- licity, and in his heart every florist who has not yet subscribed realizes it, too. Then why the hesitation in the matter of a subscription? The money provid- ed is not given away; it is simply in- vested in the interest of the subscriber, in a cooperative way. Such publicity cannot be purchased piecemeal; it is only obtainable through cooperation and the organization which has been made possible through our committees. We want more cooperation. We want to see a greater willingness to provide ammunition for our publicity guns. The intervals between firing should be short and activity continuous. Now is the time to subscribe, when planning to the best advantage is possible. Come over and help us, everybody. Additional Subscriptions.

Any campaign that has for its prin- ciple, "All for one and one for all," must be successful, and surely the flo- rists' publicity campaign stands for just that. Keep the slogan, "Say It with Flowers," before the public at all times and its effect will be greater than you anticipate. Now a word to the retailer: Make use of the slogan at all times and it will soon redound to your interest.

Retail business is quiet at this time, as it usually is following the great rush of Christmas, and dealers are thank- ful for this condition, because stock of all kinds is scarce. While the city trade is fair for the season, it is not what would be called heavy, compared with the unprecedented rush of the two months before the holidays. Out-of- town business is better than local trade with the wholesalers. This is thought to be because stocks arc short everywhere and out-of-town buyers have not the re- serves that the large city dealers have. Stock on hand is high-priced. "Whole- sale dealers are getting from 15 cents to 40 cents each for roses and 5 and 6 cents for carnations. There are no lilies and only a few sweet peas. The latter bring $1..'")0 and $2 per hundred. California violets are $2.50 per dozen bunches; nar- cissi, 5 cents each. Various Notes. Walter Newell, who was a cadet in the flying school at Ellington, Houston, Tex., has returned to his home in Kansas City. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., was in the city recently. He was joined here by Frank Stuppy, of St, Joseph, Mo., and both went over to Excelsior Springs, Mo., for a week's rest. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Thomas, of the Rosery, are away from business on ac- count of influenza. D. E. W. SALT LAKE'S LEADING FLORIST ERNEST LAMBOURNE 67 South Main, Salt Lake City. Utah.

Goldsbary, who is with Bosaia Bros., has had his hands full until recently. For several weeks he had the "flu" in his family, now happily recovered. Portland, Ore. — J. I. Robinson has been able to give much of his time to war work during the year just closed, having able cooperation in his business as a florist from his wife and Grower Wedell. He reports a busy year, the only drawback being insufficient supplies of stock. Spring will find him back in harness again, planning many improve- ments. Los Angeles, Cal. — It is reported that H. R. Richards will withdraw from the firm of S. Murata & Co., becoming a gentleman of leisure February 1. He has a pretty place on rural free delivery route No. 6; the box at the roadside is labeled 368. Mr. Murata and Mr. Richards are dissolving partnership with mutual good wishes. It is probable that Mr. Richards soon will be back in the business, probably as the Pacific coast agent of some well known eastern firms. SEATTLE, WASH. The Market. Flowers of all kinds were conspicuous by their absence last week in the local market. Funeral work at present con- stitutes the principal activity in the retail shops. Decorations are only mem- ories. Various Notes. The Hollywood Gardens are cutting fine carnations. This concern reports flowers scarcer than ever before and de- mand strong. W. H. Hawkins, who recently left Seattle for California, has purchased Bassett's Floral Gardens, at Loomis, Cal. He will specialize in carnation cuttings and ferns. He expects to have 50,000 carnation cuttings ready for the mar- ket by March 1. E. Rosaia, violet grower of Portland, Ore., visited the trade during the week. The death of Frank Quillan, proprie- tor of the Washington Floral Co., is noted in another column of this issue. Rosaia Bros, are cutting roses and orchids. W. S. G. SPOKANE, WASH. The Market. Trade is becoming more nearly normal and the florists are enjoying the first opportunity for rest in four months. They all wear smiles of satisfaction, but some complain that much more busi- ness could have been done had they been able to secure more stock. The weather has become milder and we see sunshine occasionally and therefore are getting larger supplies of roses and carnations. Club Meeting. The Spokane Florists' Club held its monthly meeting January 13. This was the first meeting since September 9, due to the influenza ban, in effect since that date. The club met in the Stone room of the Spokane hotel. After an enjoyable dinner, routine business was discussed. S. Younkin, of Hoyt Bros. Co., Inc., acted as chairman. J. W. Duncan was elected to succeed himself as secretary. The question regarding the embargo to be placed on plants, bulbs and shrubs, which takes effect in June, brought arguments both for and against the bill. Bernson & Halley, of Glenrose Greenhouses, decorated the tables with a beautiful specimen of the new carnation. Laddie. R. W. N. LOS ANGELES. The Market. Stock is still scarce and carnations and other standard flowers are worth more than ever before, or at least they bring higher prices. Violets are more plentiful, the cold nights apparently having no effect upon their opening, when followed by fine days. Scotch heather, so-called (Erica melanthera), is in fair shape, but the lack of rain apparently is responsible for a lighter coloring than is normal and it does not attract buyers as usual. But its keep- ing qualities and the fact that it ships well over long distances insure it a wel- come, especially at a time of scarcity. The long shoots are fine for decorations of all kinds and the shorter stock is ideal for choice funeral work. Chinese lilies, narcissi and Roman hyacinths help out and a few daffodils have come in, but not enough of the latter to affect the market. Orchids are more plentiful, Cattleya Trianse, C. Percivaliana and C. Schroederae all overlaping the season as well as some hybrids that find their way to the market from private collec- tions. It is pleasing to note the in- creased use of other orchids besides cat- tleyas. Nearly all small flowers are still below the demand and are bringing the growers much better returns than usual. There are some good cyclamens still on the market, also ferns, but outside of these the plants seen are of poor quality. The frost damaged some of the plu- mosus in the less favored localities, but in warmer sections it was unharmed and is possibly more plentiful than usual at this season. Maidenhair ferns of good quality are scarce and ferns from the north are higher in price than usual. Various Notes. Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., has been under the weather for some time, but has been sticking close to business, nevertheless, until he finally had to stay at home. He has been in bed for several days, but everyone hopes for his speedy recovery. H. N. Gage is usually first on the market with outdoor daffodils. Mr. Gage brought in his first flowers Jan- uary 13. He also had fine ranunculus flowers. They have come this year slight- ly later than last, owing to the early bulbs having been planted at the Bald- win park ranch, where it is colder than Montebello, though the soil there is par- ticularly well adapted to bulbous stock. George Stewart has returned to work at Wolf skills' after a severe cold. F. Wright is back at work after an attack of influenza. A look around Angelo Tassano's nurs- \\l^ ARE keeping our word and living up to our motto. This is proved by our being able to fill our holiday orders with good stock when others failed. L. A.

Trees of single and double peaches l)lante«l around the lath houses have made a wonderful growth and are just bursting into bloom. These are popular sellers for decoration. There are quan- tities of statice and other stock for cut- ting and several acres of plumosus un- der lath. One more acre of lath is to be built at once and an addition made to the greenhouses used for the culture of maidenhair ferns. Mrs. Patterson is no longer connected with the Athletic Club Florist. She is thinking of returning to the east. W. Armacost & Co. report a falling off in roses temporarily after the big holiday crops. They look for another big cut, however, around St. Valentine's day. Their growers seem to have the happy faculty of "hitting it right" for the various holidays. At the store of S. Murata & Co., ship- ping business keeps up well, an increase being noted in the number of orders re- ceived from small towns at long dis- tances. Many new names appear, also, in towns already well represented in the trade. H. E. Eichards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. As far as the general supply of flowers is concerned, the situation is even more acute here than it was a week ago, ])rincipally because of the marked de- crease in the cut of roses. Except in isolated cases of private sources of sup- jdy, all the growers seem to have gone off crop at once, as the result of heavy cuttings earlier in the season. Holiday prices still prevail on all varieties of roses, it being more a question of getting the stock than price. The retailers have to do a great deal of explaining to their customers, but it is figured not many sales are lost on account of the unusually high prices. When roses are quoted at $2.50 a dozen for Opbelias, $3.50 a dozen for Eussclls, and $5 for American Beauties, wholesale, which means they retail at $o to $10 a dozen, it must be taken into consideration that any amount of roses ordinarily can be had here practically all the year around for $1.50 to $4 per dozen retail. With roses so scarce, it is gratifying to see carnations more plentiful, and in- dications are that the supply will in- crease rapidly in the next fortnight. From $2 to $2.50 per bunch of two dozen, the wholesale price has dropped to $1.25 and $1.50 per bunch. There is also a drop in freesias to 75 cents and $1 a bunch. A limited supply of greenhouse daffodils cleans up readily at $1 per dozen. Orchids went up last week, but the supply is ample for requirements, and the price has been reduced again to the usual 50 cents apiece wholesale. The violet situation is more unsatis- factory this season than ever before. The acreage was small, to begin with; it has been hard to get pickers, and, for the last month, the supply has been still further reduced by a prolonged spell of frost. Shipments have been practically stopped the last week, and the local de- mand has been curtailed by the poor quality of the offerings. A warm rain would help out wonderfully. Various Notes.

Joseph Lagomarsino, one of the larg- est violet growers in this vicinity, says weather conditions have been unfavor- able for the last month to such an ex- tent that the crop is now in poor shape. He has not shipped flowers to far dis- tant points for the last two weeks, on account of the quality being poor. The outlook is more promising this week, however, the long spell of frost having given way to a warm rain. From pres- ent indications there should be good blooms by the first of February, but there is no chance of an oversupply, as the acreage is much reduced this year. In this connection Mr. Lagomarsino points out that he has only seven acres of violets this winter, whereas in the last few years he has had up to twenty- one acres. The Art Floral Co. has added two new men to its staff in the persons of A. Ouneo and Joseph Scatena. Both men are well known in the local trade. Until recently Mr. Cuneo was with B. M. S.

Joseph, Grant avenue, and Mr. Scatena formerly was with the E. W, McLellan Co. for eight years. Jack Lavazzola, with Avansino Bros., has been off duty for two or three weeks on account of illness. Henry Avansino reports business good, notwithstanding the scarcity and high price of flowers. Peter Rosaia, until recently with the Art Floral Co., has joined the force of Pelicano, Rossi & Co. Around this establishment it is hinted that Frank Pelicano must have a way of making Scotch heather grow overnight. For days his associates claim he has been an- nouncing that he had no more heather, but each day he managed to bring in enough to fill requirements. V. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, has no complaints to make about the demand for cut flowers, but he is anxiously awaiting the time when prices get down to normal again. In his twenty-one years' experience in the florists' business in San Francisco, John Biachinni, buyer for B. M. Joseph, claims he never saw prices so high as they are now. Mrs. Copeland, proprietor of the Misses Hannon florists' shop in Sutter street, says that in addition to funeral work, her force is kept busy with table decora- tions, there being much entertaining in honor of the returning soldiers and sail- ors. C. B. Clancey, a florist of Salem, Ore., has been visiting in San Francisco. He expresses surprise to find flowers so scarce in this market. M. H. Ebel, one of the leading florists 68 The Florists^ Review Jandabt 23, 1910. of Sacramento, Cal., was in the Bay dis- trict on one of his periodic visits this week. He is pleased over a banner holi- day business and the outlook for the con- tinuation of good times in the capital city. Although there is a ready demand for roses and other cut flowers, J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. McLellan Co., does not find his task altogether agreeable nowadays. Instead of the present short- age and high prices, he would prefer to handle more stock at lower figures. There are not enough flowers to go around and no matter how carefully the distribution is planned, he says, it is impossible to please everyone. Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., is shipping violets, but he cannot get enough stock to fill his orders. He also has more orders for roses than he can fill. Domoto Bros, are bringing in a nice cut of f reesias and hyacinths, which find a ready demand. Louis Picetti, manager of the new store of Charles C. Navlet & Co., in Market street, off First, is more than pleased with initial business. Holiday sales, he says, were far beyond expecta- tions, and the demand for cut flowers, plants, seeds, etc., has held up remark- ably well since. M. M. ST. LOUIS NEWS NOTES.

Patten, well known in wholesale circles here, is back home from Little Eock, Ark., where he has been living for the last six months. Paddy, as he is known to the local trade, has not yet made known his plans. D. Bova, head of the Bed Bud Floral Co., was all smiles at the wholesale mar- ket last week, due to the arrival at his home of twin girls left by the stork January 14. Otto Bruenig, rose grower, Olivette, Mo., left January 16 for Richmond, Ind., to visit the establishments of the E. G. Hill Co. and the Joseph H. Hill Co. The new rose, Premier, will come in for a good share of his attention. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, in addi- tion to cutting a splendid lot of Co- lumbia and Russell roses, is sending exceptionally nice calendulas and mignonette to the wholesale market. The Mullanphy Florists' downtown store featured special window decora- tions last week, with resulting good business, according to Martin Seeger, manager. Werner Bros., rose growers, at Clay- ton, Mo., are sending to this market a fine cut of Lady Stanley roses, which clean up at top prices. The C. Young & Sons Co. is enlarging its seed department in preparation for the spring season, which will soon be at hand. This line is in charge of William Dee. The force is busy packeting seeds. There was considerable work in the retail shops last week for the midwin- ter graduating exercises. J. F.

H. J. H. FORT SMITH, ARK. Business has taken a slump since the holidays and things are quiet compared with the last three months. Funeral work has slackened also and the demand for flowers is not heavy at present. From October 1 to January 1 business was the best on record and prices, al- though high, were met without much protest. Wholesale prices made retail prices go up so fast and so high that a good many sales have been lost, but still there can be no complaint. Stock was scarce and plants sold extra well. The florists all had all they could do. Building materials are still high and we know of no one who is planning to build. The prospects for spring trade look good, for we have been having zero weather and the gas supply has been low and fern stock lost as a consequence. Outside stock as well as stock in bouses has suffered and for that reason a good demand is expected. G. R. YOUNGSTOWN, O. Plant stock has been good throughout the season and this line clears readily. Cut flowers, also, have been of good quality, but high in price. The prices, however, have not prevented them from selling. John Walker is at home again, after a few days spent in Columbus, Cleveland and other cities in this section, looking up bedding stock, which he says is hard to get. H. H. Cade has returned from Cairo, 111., where he spent a couple of weeks visiting his brother, H. W. Cade, a flo- rist of that city. William Meine, of the firm of Schmidt & Meine, is improving slowly from a serious attack of influenza contracted three months ago. The Kay-Dimond Co. has had several large decorations lately and a number of smaller ones since the first of the year. E. W. D. 70 The Florists^ Review January 23, 1919.

Except for some shortage of help, the situation in the seed trade is fairly com- fortable. The early catalogues are producing a good immediate response; orders are con- siderably ahead of last January, per- haps due to the less severe weather this year. Comparing the price of S. & S. C, stock with the cost of coated papers, and comparing the printing results obtained, a larger number of catalogues than ever before are found to have been printed on the coated papers this season. At a dinner at a famous London res- taurant, December 18, with 190 persons present, the seed firm of Hurst & Son, Houndsditch, celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary. The house has many con- nections in the United States. The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O., reports a brisk business in every de- partment. The seed departments, both wholesale and retail, are getting into line, preparing for early sowings. Indications are that the season will equal last year's. It was on December 16 that the British government granted permission to the trade to import 10,000 cases of lily bulbs from Japan. In spite of the lateness of the season, it was expected to get the stock. England admitted no lily bulbs in 1917 or 1918. Seed houses of Dallas, Tex., which re- port a satisfactory business for the year of 1918, are making plans for a larger demand in 1919. Local weather and soil conditions are regarded as favorable for crops of quality and the organizations of these concerns are in better shape for handling a large volume of business than ever before. Private laboratories for scientific analyses to test the purity and germinating qualities of seeds have been installed at considerable expense by sev- eral seed companies, to insure that seed shipped may be of dependable character. In view of the demands made upon the United States for food supplies for Eu- rope, it is estimated that the increase in the seed trade will amount to thirty to forty per cent of last year's sales.

The financial loss to the company is put at $125,000 by the local manager, Otto Bofinger, and it is thought to be fully covered by insurance, but the loss through the interruption of business just at the opening of the busy season will be large. Details of the Loss. The Barteldes Seed Co., the head- quarters of which are at Lawrence, Kan., is the largest wholesale and mail order house in Oklahoma, the branch house building at 627 West Main street being 50x140 feet, three stories and basement. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it obtained such great headway that the entire building was consumed, the upper walls falling. The stock of seeds, al- though delivered earlier than last year, was not so large as a year ago, but its apparent total loss will create a local shortage in many lines. The stock in- cluded a complete line of farm, field, grass, garden and flower seeds, onion sets, etc. The catalogues had just been mailed. The business of the Barteldes Seed Co. dates back to 1867. The officers are: President and general manager, F. W. Barteldes; vice-president, Max Wil- helmi; secretary and treasurer, J. Uhr- laub. In addition to the headquarters warehouse at Lawrence, Kan., the com- pany has another branch at Denver, in charge of J. R. Kern and J. M. Wiesel As complete stocks were carried at all three places and only one is lost, Mr. Barteldes, who arrived at Oklahoma City the day after the fire, expects to be able to handle all orders with Llight ielay. SEEDSMEN AND CANNEBS. One Must Ejiow the Ropes. The great annual canners' convention is on this week, greater than ever. It was advertised to be held at La Salle hotel, Chicago, but the attendance proved to be so large that the overflow spreads all over town, with much con- fusion resulting, so that any seedsman who does not know the trade pretty well has trouble meeting up with the can- ners he wants to see. The canners are not hunting up the seedsmen this year; there is considerable reluctance to buy more seeds at this time, inspired by the knowledge that the big shortage predicted last year failed to eventuate and by the knowledge that the seed production in the United States last summer was the greatest in the his- tory of the seed trade. The canners also are a little uncertain as to how far they should, themselves, go in the matter of acreage this year. Seedsmen Present. Most of the seed houses catering to canners' trade are represented, some of them by numerous salesmen and steno- graphic forces. Among those noted are: John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboygan, Wis., W. B. Lucas. D. D. Rowlands. J. BolKiano &. Son, Baltimore, Md., R. J. Bowen, H. B. Robinson. Alfred J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., W. A. Reed, F. A. Montellus. W. C.

There is no machinery and allied trades' exhibition this year; it was abandoned before the war closed. INSPECTION OF SHIPMENTS. Unauthorized Action. The other day the Minnesota Supreme court was called upon to determine an interesting legal question concerning the liability of railway companies where a contract buyer inspects a shipment and then refuses to accept or pay for it, the shipment having been made under an order bill of lading. (Quinfl-Shep- erdson Co. vs. Great Northern Railway Co., 169 Northwestern Reporter, 422.) The plaintiff shipped a car of seed wheat to its own order to a North Da- kota destination, pursuant to previous negotiations for its sale to a seed com- pany at that point. The bill of lading contained directions to "notify" the seed company, and also provided that there should be no inspection by the' seed company before acceptance of de- livery, except as such inspection might be expressly provided for by law or agreement. A representative of the seed company secured access to the car in some manner and made an inspection, and then the company declined to accept delivery. The plaintiff, being compelled to sell at a loss, sued the railway company for reimbursement, claiming that the de- fendant had wrongfully permitted an GLADIOLI NEW TRADE LIST READY JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, Inc.

The de- fendant cannot be held liable for an inspection gained by secret or stealthy entry into the car. Such seems to have been the method adopted by the agents of the seed company. The only evidence claimed to support the theory that the defendant wrongfully delivered the wheat to the seed company is found in the fact that, at the suggestion or re- quest of that company, the defendant's agent caused the car containing the wheat to be switched onto the delivery John Baer Tomato Finest and Earliest Tomato on Earth Clean, bright seed from selected fruit, ^oz.,30c; oz.,50c; ^ lb., $1.75; lb., $6.50.

MICHELL CO., 518 Market St., PHILADELPHIA, PA. MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. James Davis, of the Zack Davis Co., Delaware, O., observed that the pro- posed pure seed law doubtless would help the seedsmen in the smaller towns, as well as the old established houses in the big cities. Incidentally he men- tioned receiving an order the other day which makes interesting reading, espe- cially as the goods were to be shipped direct to the farmer. It reads thus: 70 bu. tiiuothy, 24 bu. nu'dium clover. 3 bu. ninmmoth clover, 40 lbs. rodtop, 5 bu. alfnlfa, 2% bu. alsike, 40 lbs. pasture grass, 10 lbs. rape. It furnishes evidence that, regardless of the high cost of seed, the far-sighted farmer, even as his fellow-worker, the florist, realizes a bright future for his crops.

Burlap prices are now down more than fifty per cent below the prices quoted last August. A. G. RuGGLES, state entomologist of Minnesota, in his report to Governor Burnciuist, records the destruction during the year 1918 of 650,000 Berberis vul- garis, in the effort to eradicate the shrub that harbors wheat rust. Of tliis num- ber, 50,000 were plantings in cities and towns and at country homes, and the rest were in the nurseries of the state. The Douglas Nurseries, Waukcgan, 111., have been sold to Lee McDonough, of tliat city, who will continue the busi- ness. Since the death, years ago, of Rob- ert Douglas, who established the nurs- eries, his sons, Charles and Thomas, con- ducted the business, with the assistance of their mother, who will now remove to California, where she has relatives. The first location of these nurseries was be- tween North avenue and Sheridan road, south of Glen Flora avenue. Twenty years ago the stock was lifted and re- moved to the tract now occupied on Grand avenue. When Thomas Douglas died, his widow took his place in the work and displayed considerable technical un- derstanding of this line. ILLINOIS NURSERYMEN TO MEET. The Illinois Nurserymen 's Associa- tion will hold its second annual conven- tion in Chicago, at the Hotel La Salle, February 5 and 6.

There was one of the largest gather- ings of the trade in the history of the organization when the Western Asso- ciation of Nurserymen opened its twenty-ninth annual meeting at the usual place, the Coates House, Kansas City, January 22. There is a distinctly better feeling in the trade as the result of increasing demand, better prices, an easing labor situation, etc., and it is re- flected in the larger attendance.

WHEN DOCTOBS DISAGREE. One of the reasons why the horticul- tural trades make progress less rapidly than they should is found in the di- vergence of interests and 0]>inion. A case in point is the quarantino to become effective June 1. Some of the nursery- men cannot see why their opposition to such a stringent order is ignored by the authorities at Washington. Probably the reason will be found in the fact that other members of the trade support the action of the Federal Horticultural Board. As a case in point, among others, the Elliott Nursery Co., Pittsburgh, is one of the members of the trade issuing cir- culars criticising the quarantine and urg- ing that congressional action be sought. On almost the same day that the Elliott Nursery Co. sent out its circular, A. H. Hill, of the Dundee Nursery Co., Dundee, 111., addressing the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society on "The Culture of Conifers," predicted that the day is soon coming when American growers will produce the stocks for American needs and that the money now sent to Europe to purchase nursery stock will be kept at home and aid in the upbuilding of American horticulture. Until the trade is agreed upon facts and a policy, there seems little chance of getting consideration at the hands of the authorities.

Business continues steady, with plenty of funeral work to keep all hands busy. Cut flowers are not abundant, but no actual shortage is felt. Plants are not in good supply, although a few nice cyclamens are to be had. Potted hya- cinths have made their appearance in the windows of some of the more fortunate florists. Eoses are scarce, but the few avail- able include such varieties as Columbia, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty. Some of the stock tends to be weak of stem, but the blooms are good.

Greenhouse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Review to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best lor the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. TO REMOVE TAB FROM PIPES. Last September we painted our hot water pipes under the gutter with gas tar to keep them from rusting. The tar seems to be dry, but when the water in the pipes is heated to 160 degrees the tar gets soft and gives off fumes which are spoiling the lettuce crop. We have tried whitewashing the pipes, but this does not help much. Scraping the tar off is slow work. Is there any- thing we can put on the pipes to keep the fumes from escaping? We did not know when we put on the tar that the fumes from it would be injurious to plant life^ but we have found it out since. J. H. S. — ^la. It is known that gas tar must not be used where plants are grown under glass. Even when tar is applied to the posts or gutters, serious effects are noticeable, and when it is used upon the heating pipes it will be impossible to grow plants with any degree of success. Worse yet, there is no known way of treating the pipes that will prevent the giving off of the poisonous gases, except the removal of every atom of the taj. The only way to correct the trouble is to burn off the tar, and care must be taken to do a thorough job and still not to injure the piping. It can be done easily and quickly by taking down all pipe that has been coated with the tar and building a fire of old posts, or other refuse, three or four feet across. In this fire the pipes should be held until the tar has been burned off. By inserting smaller pipes eight or ten feet long in the ends of one of the tar-coated pipes, it will be possible for two men to bum off the tar without injuring the pipes. The pipes should be turned and moved back and forth in the fire to prevent overheating. While we have never used coal for the purpose and would prefer wood, in case the latter is not available it is probable that soft coal could be used successfully and safely for maintaining the fire. When treating pipes of large size, the work of holding them may be les- sened by placing two short pieces of pipe on either side of the fire at right angles to those to be treated, upon which to rest them. These supporting pipes may be arranged to act as rollers to aid in moving the pipes back and forth through the fire. A LEAK-TO« HOUSE FOB VIOLETS.

Let us tell you sbout them. upper ends of the rafters are sixteen inches above the gutter of the adjacent house. So th4 entire measurement of the glass on the roof, from the eave of the lean-to to the gutter of the old house, is nine feet four inches. The lean-to will be used for violets and other cool-growing stock and will not need a higher temperature than 40 degrees in zero weather. The exposed portion of one end is glass, except the three feet next to the ground, and there is a glass door in that end. W. M. — Mich. To heat a violet house TV^xlOO, with one exposed wooden wall and with nine feet four inches of glass in the roof, we would use about 250 square feet of hot water radiation. For this the main flow pipe from the boiler should be 2%-inch and the main return should be of the same size.

If the boiler is at the end of the house where the door is located, we would run a 2i/^-inch flow pipe on the wall next to the adjoining house. At the farther end, after taking off a 2-inch return to be carried back on the same wall underneath the flow pipe, we would carry a 2-inch main across the end of the house and then connect it with a coil of two 2-inch returns to be carried on the exposed wall of the house to the end near the heater, where they should be united with the other return and con- nected with the main return. In case the glass door is in the oppo- site end of the house from the boiler, so that it is not possible to carry the sup- ply pipe across the farther end of the house as suggested above, we would run a 2-inch flow pipe upon each side wall, and at the farther end of the house con- nect each flow with a 2-inch return pipe to be caried back under its own flow pij^e. If the location of the benches is such as to permit, we would carry the flow pipes about one foot under the plates or gutters and run tlie returns a foot or two lower. Give both flows and returns a drop of one inch in twenty feet. NEWPORT, R.

A grand crop of gladioli was harvested. Part of the land was irrigated by the Skinner system and showed the results of the improved method of cultivation in the extra-sized bulbs, in contrast to crops from a part worked the old way. 104 The Florists^ Review .lANlAUY 23, 1919. What Is a Standard Section? Who Makes It Standard? Ask any ten growers their opinion of the right width house and best arrangement of walks and benches, and six of them will come pretty close to agreeing. The other four will have very strong convictions that the other six are dead wrong. Based on what the six think, we went to work to design Standard Houses combining in their manu- facture stock sizes and shapes, and in a manner to eliminate all waste. Then we bought the material in large «iuantities, manufactured it and put it in our warehouses. Thus we have several widths of houses standardized; the length is only a- question of more or less standard parts. Standard draw- ings, standard parts enable us to manufactui-e in quantities and sell these standard houses at lowest prices and insure a quick delivery. These sections are in widths from Ai) up to 7\) feet. Each one works out the greatest economy. to They are all shown m our Handy Hand Book. Each section is accom- panied by a good big in- terior of a house built that way. With this book before you, it's almost as good as seeing the actual houses. Mayhap it's even better, for you don't have to ask any questions, as each question is already answered before you ask it. Send for this Handy Hand Book. Study out your house, then let us get together and talk it over. lDn|,& Snniham^. Ni:\V VOHK 42nd Sti-C't lildK.

Your estimate and order will receive the very best of attention; you will get the personal care that is impossible to give to every individual order when a business is "rushed off its feet," as we are sure to be this summer unless all indications fail. The prices of material have come down somewhat, but we don't anticipate a much greater drop, if any. The sooner you get your greenhouses built the sooner you will begin taking in profits. The wise man is farsighted and can tell a good tbing before he sees it. For the last four years florists have not built as many greenhouses per year as they have in previous years. Stock is scarce and the demand large. The florists are this year again going to spend a lot of money for general publicity work; this will mean a still greater demand for flowers. Why not be prepared to handle this business? Get your order in. Beat the other fellow to it. Get started now by writing us for estimates. JOHN C.

The Florists' Review GLADIOLUS BULBS We are offering Gladiolus bulbs to florists that, for quality and price, have no competition. Our Gladiolus Bulbs are strictly up to size and guaranteed American grown. We contract in advance with large gladiolus growers, who sup- plied us this season with over 1 ,000,000 bulbs, which are all delivered to us and in our posses- sion, properly stored, with the best facilities to insure proper curing, which is the essential part of handling Gladiolus Bulbs before planting. Florists who have visited our place have stated that we have in our possession the largest stock of high quality Gladiolus Bulbs they have ever seen. One western grower, after inspect- ing our bulbs, purchased from us 78,000. A large Chicago grower was so well pleased to see the high quality we offer that he placed an order with us for 53,000 bulbs, and both these orders have been filled. We hope, if you are a buyer of Gladiolus Bulbs, that you will send us your order, and we will guarantee to satisfy you. If not, we will refund your money on return of our goods. l%"&up li^"&up Per 1,000 Per 1,000 America, soft pink, best commercial variety $22.00 $17.50 AugTuita, white, blue anthers 22.00 17.50 Baron J.

If there were nothing else, the displays of the Cleve- land florists would be suflScient to at- tract and please the public. The new Gloriosa-pink carnation, Ruth Baur, was used effectively on a table decorated by Knoble Bros. With the carnations were yellow freesias and schizanthus. The exhibitor also put up a large vase of Ruth Baur and staged several novelty baskets. A. M. Albrecht made his centerpiece of Mrs. C. W. Ward carnations, with corsages of the same. Enchantress was used for the center- piece of the Smith & Fetters table, with flat and colonial corsages. The ,T. M. Gasscr Co. made a big centerpiece of Rosalia carnations, acacia and eupatorium. Democracy, the new light pink carna- tion of Gude Bros. Co., Washington, D. C, was used for the centerpiece of the table of the Jones-Russell Co. C. M. Wagner made his table decora- tion in baskets with the dark red car- nation, Bernice. Miscellaneous Exhibits. The American Bulb Co., Chicago, had a display of bulbs of gladioli, in twenty- seven varieties. Carl Hagenburger, Mentor, O., staged vases of white lilac and Purity freesia. He also showed for the first time a new yellow freesia, both cut sprays and plants in pots. Of course, the exhibit included the two Mentor solanums, Cleveland and Yellow Queen. W. F. Kasting Co., Buffalo, showed two vases of the only chrysanthemums now grown by Charles F. Guenther, Hamburg, N. Y. They are Hamburg Late White and Hamburg Late Pink. The blooms are large and clean. Temperley's, Indianapolis, showed for the first time plants of the new red Chatelaine begonia, named Christmas Gift. H. W. Sheppard, Cincinnati, staged for the Hills, of Richmond, a big exhi- bition basket of Rose Premier, which was a center of attraction. Fred H. Lemon & Co., Richmond, Ind., had a table of plants of Primula mala- coides rosea in fine flower. Sidelights. Chicago was after the 1920 convention like a dog chasing a bone; the delega- tion was armed with a big banner and invitations from the Florists' Club, Hor- ticultural Society and Commercial Asso- ciation. The Cleveland newspapers, as usual, were extremely liberal with their no- tices, looking to Ella Grant Wilson for their inspiration. > Those Present.

Btrout, president of the American Carnation So- ciety, read at the Cleveland convention, January 29, 1819.] It has been our privilege to meet in convention in this delightful city of Cleveland on former occasions. It is my pleasure to bid you hearty welcome to this twenty-eighth annual convention. We are all conscious that the last year has been the most difficult year we have faced since our society was formed. The conditions produced by the great war found us in a field of uncertainty, in which many of us were doubtful as to whether we should plow and set our plants to grow, or whether we should retrench and wait a more favorable time. The problem of Hamlet, "To be or not to bet" was ours. The air was filled with rumors of a coal shortage. Dame Eumor said the florists' business was to be shut down as a nonessential. To meet the situation, the American Carnation Society and the S. A. F. sent a delegation to Washington and, partly as a result of their arguments, the dic- tum of the fuel administration was that growers using more than forty tons a year should be allotted fifty per cent of the average amount used for the last three years; those using forty tons or less, the full amount. Private growers were denied the use of coal. .11 A Test of Intensive Culture. The fuel shortage has not been an un- mixed evil. To illustrate, one of our well known growers reduced his glass one-third, yet produced 30,000 more blooms than the previous year in the same period with all his glass. This he brought about by careful, intensive work and conservative use of fuel. The spirit of patriotism among our younger men led them into the army or navy; the draft laid its hand upon some, and a labor shortage added its problem for many growers. Among those who entered the service of Uncle Sam were our then president, W. J. Vesey, Jr., and David Ward, one of our judges. Like all other lines of business, our trade was affected by the scarcity of supplies and prevailing high prices. Dif- ficulties of transportation made the de- livery of express companies uncertain. We were beset on all sides and, to add to the story, the high percentage of sun- less days made the last year an exceed- ingly difficult one. A League of Interests. In spite of all, however, this has been one of the most profitable seasons for florists. The old law of supply and de- mand has led to higher average prices, and the phenomenal amount of sickness created a quick demand for all we could offer. The circle of clients has been largely increased by the advance in wages produced by special war work in shipbuilding establishments, ammuni- tion factories and mills. This increased demand has enabled both grower and retailer to secure reasonable prices and profits, and brings to our minds once again the question as to whether or not we can bring about a minimum and maximum price, in the interests of both grower and retailer. These are days of cooperation; a league of interests should help us solve this question. The fact that florists the country over have generously donated flowers to Bed Cross drives and campaigns for the Y. M. C. A., K. of C. and similar organiza- tions indicates the spirit of patriotism and the opportunity for service outside our regular field of business. There are several growers of whom I know in New England who have contributed flowers which have netted $1,500 each for such work. Bemoval of Restrictions. The first part of November brought the glad tidings of the signing of the armistice and the removal of restric- tions on travel, and with it our ener- getic secretary took up the plans for this convention. You are all well aware that the railway administration had frowned on gatherings similar to ours. Traveling was discouraged in every way, and our plans had been more or less tentative. Thanks to the executive ability of Mr. Baur and the interest of the local committee on arrangements, there is every indication of one of the most successful anniversaries we have had. It has seemed to me that the phenom- enal circumstances under which we have labored the last year called for review for permanent record. Believing it will meet with the ap- proval of this society, I suggest to you that steps be taken to furnish fitting recognition of the members of the so- ciety who have entered the service of the United States. What form this rec- ognition should take I think could read- ily be determined by a committee ap- pointed for the purpose. Two Kinds of Beconstraction. As an aid in reconstruction and as a mark of our respect and sympathy for our brave allies, I would suggest that this society correspond with French flo- ral societies and offer them carnation stock to replace that destroyed by the ravages of war. I am sure individual growers will be happy to send stock for this purpose. I further recommend that the Ameri- can Carnation Society go on record as urging carnation growers in groups or sections to try for more uniform prices and more accurate grading of stock. Well grown carnations are worth the average price paid this season, and, all things considered, should command a better price than has been paid in the last few seasons. But the extreme prices, high or low, demoralize the mar- ket and react unfavorably on all branches of our business. Growers and retailers can improve the present con- ditions and perhaps the American Car- nation Society can aid in the matter. MR. BAUR'S BUSINESS SECBETASY'S REPORT. [The following Is the report of A. F. J. Baur, secretary of the American Carnation Society, presented at the Cleveland convention, January 29, 1919.] The last year has been a memorable one for the carnation industry. On ac- count of the uncertainty in business generally, with the restrictions imposed by the government in the early part of the year and the release from all re- straint toward the close of the year, there has been a chaotic condition run- ning through almost the entire twelve months. The depression caused by the restrictions was reflected clearly in the lack of enthusiasm among the craft and this naturally affected the interest shown in the activities of the trade so- cieties. At the time of the Boston con- vention, in January, 1918, conditions were at their worst, resulting in a con- vention which was almost entirely local, and while our New England members staged a splendid exhibition, the bene- fits accruing from a large and enthusias- tic attendance were lacking. Keceipts fell off, while prices on everything needed by the society advanced, caus- ing a depletion of the treasury that gave more or less concern. The printing of the annual report had to be deferred, pending the collection of sufficient funds, but, thanks to the generosity of our president and a number of our New England members, who contributed some $60, the report appeared only three months late. Returning Prosperity. It is gratifying to note that since the great revival of business, due to the return of peace and the extraordinary demand caused by the influenza epi- demic, our members are showing a quickened interest in the affairs of the society. Receipts have increased to such an extent that the year's total receipts are about normal, but still not enough to cover the increase in expendi- tures. It is hoped that the saving ef- fected in the coming year's expendi- tures may be sufficient to put the treas- ury back to normal. During the last year we have col- lected: Membership assessments $628.00 Advertising 150.20 Miscellaneous 96.00 Total $874.20 All of the foregoing amounts were turned over to the treasurer and his receipt was taken therefor. The books of the secretary and treasurer were M 16 The Florists^ Review Jandabt 30, 1919. audited by a public accountant and found correct. Cooperation with S. A. F. A complete list of our members was submitted to the S. A. P., which re- ported that 223 of our members are also members of that society, entitling us to representation on its executive board. President Strout has been appointed to represent our society on that board dur- ing the year 1919, A change was made in the conditions for filling this office, enabling the vice-president to serve in case the president is unable to serve. The National Flower Show, which was to have been held in St. Louis, Mo., last spring, was postponed indefinitely. The preliminary expenses incurred on ac- count of this proposed exhibition, less the profits from the convention held there in August, were $5,984.95. Ten per cent of this amount is charged up against our society and remains a lia- bility until the Fifth National Flower Show is held, after which a final ac- counting is to be made. The S. A. F. has agreed to carry this liability until that time. Difficulties of the Directors. The summer meeting of the board of directors was postponed till November, in order to gauge better the conditions that would likely prevail at the time of this convention. The influenza epi- demic prevented a meeting at that time and the meeting was finally dispensed with altogether, the arrangements for this convention being made by mail. On account of the unsatisfactory ex- press service and the scarcity of stock, the board deemed it inadvisable to at- tempt an exhibition of the same magni- tude as in former years. The premium schedule was modified in such a man- ner as to encourage the staging of the new varieties, with a few classes for the standard sorts. This list was later augmented by a number of open classes, for which the Cleveland Florists' Club agreed to stand sponsor. This change is intended only for this year's exhi- bition, in the hope that a return may be made to normal conditions during the present year. Celebration of Peace. Our convention being the first meet- ing of national scope since the signing of the armistice, the board invited the S. A. F. to join us in a peace celebra- tion at our banquet. This invitation was accepted and arrangements have been made to carry out the idea. This society may take just pride in the fact that a number of our members went into the military service and we should give thanks to a Divine Providence for their safe return. No casualties among our members have been reported up to this time. There were submitted during the last year, for registration, three seedlings and one sport. No registrations were sent over from Europe. To the trade press is due our thanks for the publication of all matter sent to them. They have been of material assist^nc^to the society during the last year.i Dalton, 0.-^-^48 a side line to his mar- ket gardening business, W. A. Mumaw grows asters and sweet peas outdoors.

Midwinter Meeting. The fourteenth annual convention of the Tennessee State Florists' Associa- tion at tlie Hotel Hermitage, Nashville, Tenn., January 28, provided a program replete with interesting and valuable features. The address of Karl P, Baum, on "Why All Retail Florists Should Be- come Members of the F. T. D.," should result in increased interest in this or- ganization on the part of southern flo- rists. Eobert C. Kerr's paper, read at the evening session, on ' ' The South and the Part She Will Play in the Future Flower Market," included a discussion of the subject of credits and collections. The program of the convention fol- lows: MORNING SESSION, 10:00 O'CLOCK. Call to order by President Oscar Geny, Nash- ville. Invocation, Rev. T. C. Ragsdale, Nashville.

The demonstrations and displays featured devices for spraying, insecti- cides and other equipment. THE PROSPECT FOR STOCK. A central western grower interested in the special items mentioned sizes up the situation as follows: Cannas. — Stocks are scarce and will be a short item early in the season. Carnation cuttings. — These will be the shortest item on the whole list. Geraniums. — A short crop, but many growers secured, out of the gardens, ample supplies for their home needs; still the market will consume every available cutting or plant. , Gladioli. — Never has the demand been so heavy so early; many are being forced. The demand will be far greater than the possible supply. Prices may advance sharply. Peonies. — Next fall will see a veri- table boom. The short crops will give the peony a big demand and price next June and a big demand for roots will result. Almost every item is in under supply. The heavy demand at present prices will serve to stimulate the whole field. CLUB ROOT ON SNAPDRAGONS. I am sending a root of a snapdragon plant and hope you can tell me what the trouble is. My plants appear healthy, but occasionally one wilts and then dies. The lumps on the roots are all I can see wrong with the plants. Do you think the trouble is in the soil! It is the same- soil which I have used for chrysanthe- mums. S. M. — Kan, The contorted roots of the snapdragon plant show that it is infected with the disease commonly called club root, a dis- ease which often attacks members of the cabbage family, turnips, wild hedge mustard and some other vegetables and flowering plants. Too much acid in the soil is usually the cause of this trouble, for which no cure is known. Affected plants will continue to wilt and die and I would advise pulling up and burning your snapdragons and planting some other crop in its stead. Before doing so, give the beds or benches a liberal dressing of air-slaked lime and fork it in well. This will help to sweeten the soil. If you leave diseased roots in your soil, the disease will make trouble an- other year. C. W. Shamokin, Pa. — Joseph Harris & Bro., whose greenhouses are at Springfield, have more than a local reputation for the window displays at their store, 112 East Independence street. Traveling salesmen tell them they are the finest decorations seen in any flower store in the United States. January 30, 1919. The Florists^ Review 17 SEASONABLE NOTES. Cypripediiuns. I have never known a month when cypripediums have found so ready and profitable a market as the one through which we are now passing. One great feature with them is that it is not neces- sary to cut them as soon as they open, as they will keep many weeks, or even months, on the plants in perfect condi- tion. While cypripediums lack the bril- liant coloring of cattleyas, they are fascinating flowers and the care of the better known sorts is so easy that no one possessing a greenhouse need be afraid to essay their culture. Fortu- nately, we are not dependent on impor- tations for keeping up our stock of these useful terrestrial orchids, as they increase in size rapidly and are easily propagated by division. By far the most useful of all the lady's slippers is Cypripedium insigne. There are many varieties of this, and the yellow forms, once scarce and high-priced, are now reasonable in price. C. insigne Sanderse is still the best, but C. San- derianum, C. Laura Kimball and others are beautiful. All true cypripediums succeed well in a winter' minimum of 50 degrees to 55 degrees. They will stand more heat, but if grown in the cooler temperature the flowers possess more substance. As these cypri- pediums pass out of flower, any divid- ing, surface dressing or repotting that may be necessary can be done. For , compost I find a mixture of fern fiber and fibrous loam, with sphagnum and broken charcoal added, suits the insigne section. Other cypripediums, such as C. Harrisianum, C. villosum and C. Leeanum, probably the next best com- mercial cypripedium after insigne; C. Lawrenceanum, etc., succeed well in a compost of fern fiber, charcoal and fresh sphagnum. Cypripediums enjoy a closer and moister atmosphere than cattleyas. In an arid atmosphere, thrips, red spider and other pests are sure to attack them. There is good money in cyps. Their culture is easy and all possessing them should take good care of them and, when occasion offers to procure more of them at a rea- sonable cost, embrace it. Dendroblums. ^ The season for dendrobiums has ar- rived. Of course there are usually some members of this interesting family in bloom, but for the next two months or more, the many varieties of D. nobile and that showy variety, D. Wardianum, will be at their best. Keep the plants cool and dry until you are sure the nodes or swellings on their pseudobulbs will produce flowers and not growths. D. nobile is an old orchid, introduced as long ago as 1836, according to M. Andre. It is one of the orchids which change their odor during the periods of the day. The scent resembles grass in the early morning, honey at noon and primroses in the evening. On a clear day it is certainly delightful. While one of the oldest varieties of orchids, D. nobile remains one of the best and a specimen plant carrying 100 to 1,400 blooms will outclass any cattleya which is placed beside it. All the dendrobes like heat and moisture while making their growth. The nobiles then need cooler and drier treatment to produce a satisfactory crop of flowers. We are dependent on the East Indies for all our dendrobiums, phalsenopsis, etc., and will miss them indeed. D. nobile can be propagated easily, however, by laying its pseudobulbs, when mature, in pans or flats of sphagnum and packing them down. If placed in a warm house and occasionally sprayed, young plants will start from many of the joints. These can later be potted in a mixture of sphagnum and fern fiber, which suits dendrobiums better than a compost of fern fiber only. Young plants succeed splendidly in sphagnum only. Odontoglossums. In the winter all the odontoglos- sums should have a clear house and full sunshine. The foliage of the beautiful crispum section will take on a bronze hue and become much hardier. These plants will come through the torrid sum- mer months much better than those kept in a north house where no sun reaches them in midwinter. The flower spikes on all odontoglossums should be pro- tected by a wrapping of cotton wool as a protection from shell snails, which lurk in the moss and eat the spikes of odontoglossums and oncidiums with avidity. Give the plants a fair supply of moisture now and spray them on all clear days. The pretty, pure white, sweetly scented Odontoglossum pulchel- lum majus is now in bloom. It has been commonly called the lily of the valley orchid and its spikes are splendid for use in choice bouquets or other floral work. It is of easy culture. It likes a little more heat than the crispum sec- tion and does well at the cool end of the cattleya house, where also O. cit- rosmum and O. grande succeed well. MUM MIDGE. We are sending you a sample of the soil in which our mums were grown, also a few of the mums attacked by the red fly. Do you consider this soil suitable for growing mumsf Do you know of anything we can use to get rid of the flies t H. G. E.— Wash. The soil submitted is good enough to grow mums, but the shoots enclosed were badly infested with mum midge. If the whole planting is as badly infested as the stock sent, I would suggest that you destroy and burn your entire stock of mums and start in with new stock. Midge is a pest so well known that it is, perhaps, hardly necessary to go into details describing it. The midge lays its eggs in the tissues of the leaf and the larvffi hatch out immediately and soon begin reproducing in their turn and this process continues indefinitely. When specimens are so badly infested as the leaves submitted, the growth of the plants is stunted. Midge can be eliminated by persistent use of fumigants. Fumigate with to- bacco dust, or some other tobacco prep- aration strong enough to kill the flies, every other night for four or five weeks during the winter months. The plants come out entirely clean after the nightly fumigation, which kills the flies as they hatch out. The best thing for fumigat- ing is tobacco dust, on account of its long-continued smoking. I imagine this midge will pass along in a year or two, as in the case of the mum rust and other ills to which mum plants have been heir at different times. One trouble about the mum midge is that it will reproduce outside in Shasta daisies and plants of a like character. In fact, the Shasta daisy acts as a host plant for this pest when there are no mums around for it to feed on. A work- ing knowledge of this pest, its habits and host plants, is necessary in order to eliminate it. We have found that stock grown in the greenhouse and afterwards used for propagating is more liable to be infest- ed with insects and diseases such as this than stock planted outdoors and used for propagation purposes, since the greenhouse plants have used up nearly all their vitality in flowering the pre- vious fall, and are less able to resist these diseases and insects.

Plant Quarantine Shuts Them Out. The full extent of the injury inflicted on the florists' trade by the import quar- antine ordered to go into effect June 1 is not yet realized by the rank and file, but every day new features are develop- ing which add to the alarm with which the quarantine now is viewed. As a case in point, an importer who recently has brought large quantities of dracsena canes from Trinidad and Brazil asked the Federal Horticultural Board how this item will be affected by the quaran- tine. He was told that the importation of dracajna canes must cease June 1. Here is the letter of Lester E. Palmer, who is in charge, for the board, of plants and plant products under restriction: We have your letter inquiring whetiier dra- cjcna canes may be permitted entry after June 1, next, as scions or as exempted nursery stock. In reply thereto I regret to advise you that on and after June 1 next, the importation of dracsena canes will be prohibited. I note your understanding that one reason for the prohibition of plant importations is to en- courage home production. In this connection it should be said that Quarantine No. 37 with regu- lations was formulated by the board for the sole purpose of protecting the agricultural and horti- cultural Interests of this country from dangerous plant diseases and insect pests. The second paragraph of the letter "is to laugh;" that is, it would be funny if it were not so great an injury to a business shown, in the War Indus- tries Board's census published in last week's Review, to represent an annual turnover of more than $46,000,000. One of the Fo^ies. When imported dracsena eanes have no roots or tops, but are merely living sticks ranging from one foot to three feet in length and from one-half inch to two inches in thickness, according to variety. They are usually packed in moss or fiber to retain their vitality, though occasionally packed in sand, according to variety and distance ship- ments have to travel. When received by the growers, the canes are laid in the propagating greenhouse benches in pure sand, and as the young growths appear cuttings are taken and rooted and grown on into plants. The canes are thrown out when they have served their pur- pose in producing cuttings. Since none of the varieties produced from these canes can grow outside of greenhouses in any part of the United States, there is no likelihood of injurious insect pests or diseases being introduced through them. The Tederal Horticultural Board al- ready is on the defensive in the mat- ter of this too far-reaching and unwar- ranted quarantine. The members are said to reply that the protest is only by importing houses, whose business is in- jured. If this is the case, the protests of florists will be numerous enough when they fully realize what has been done to them. LILY BULBS WITHOUT SOIL. safely from Japan if they are not to be permitted entry except when "free from sand, soil or earth, ' ' to use the language of the quarantine order. It is probable that most of those in- terested in Japanese lily bulbs, which includes practically every florist in the United States, have failed to note that the quarantine order prohibits the con- tinued use of the only method of pack- ing lily bulbs which has been found safe. "Lily bulbs," says Mr. Scheepers, ' ' are harvested without the original soil in which they are grown, being at- tached or adhering to the roots, but as soil is known to be the only safe mate- rial as applied to imports of lily bulbs, ])articularly those from Japan, where the long voyage is likely to extract the moisture and growing quality if packed in vegetable packing material, the regu- lation should be so modified as to permit the continued use of dry soil, which has so far been unknown to be infected with any pests or plant disease. If absolutely necessary, however, this soil could be treated by some process of sterilization that would in any event destroy any insects or diseases that may be present. " . Publishing Trade Secrets. Mr. Scheepers points out another fea- ture of the quarantine order which is distasteful to dealers: "Each case," of the few items permitted entry, "must bear a label giving name and address of exporter, name and address of importer and number of permit. This means that you are forced to advertise to everyone, throughout the districts through which these cases must pass, the name and address of your supplier, often a secret source that you have sought for years to obtain and now to be given publicly to all interested." The more the trade studies the quar- antine the more unnecessary and dis- tasteful it seems to become. It can be undone by the signature of the Secretary of Agriculture. m^iLM^ij^itij^iy{iikL¥ii.¥Ai*iti^mjii^^^^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS HYDBANGEAS IN THE SOUTH. With the scarcity of lilies and the impossibility of holding Dutch bulbs for Easter, except in a few of the northern states, French hydrangeas will have a peculiar value this season. Those potted up in the late fall are making good roots now and may be given a rather warmer night temperature, say 56 degrees. Syringe them freely, but do not over- water. In a short time, when the roots are more plentiful, they will need lots of water. They probably will make Easter all right in the temperature stated, if the house has a good exposure. Besides, they can be pushed during the last six weeks if there is any fear of their being late. Unlike lilies, they will keep a long time, often coming into flower in a cool, shaded house, if a cool house can be found in the south so late in the season. The way this winter is going, it seems as if the difficult part will be to hold them back. Give them plenty of manure water from the time the flowers are seen until they show color. This will increase their size and intensify the different shades. L. Scheei>ers Finds Another Joker. John Scheepers, of New York, wants to know how lily bulbs are to come LILIES FOB EASTEB. Those growers who can have a few lilies in bloom for the coming Easter will be fortunate, as they are sure to get good money for them. The predic- tion is being freely made that these flowers will bring at retail this Easter $1 per bloom and they will be worth all of it and more too. The weather so far this winter has been so warm and genial that one hardly knows how to advise to bring them in at the right date. Our own plants are still in a cool house, in a night temperature below 50 degrees. If I only were certain of a brand of weather such as we are having now, I could trust them to come right just where they are, with possibly a week or two of a higher temperature near the finish. A late Easter, however, generally means a late spring, and we are liable to have much colder weather in March. As Easter comes April 20 this yfear, I would rather push the plants a little toward the finish, as it is almost im- possible to hold them when open at that late date. The varieties this year are Harrisii and longiflorum. The Harrisii lily does not stand so high a forcing tem- perature as our old friend giganteum, so it is safe to reckon on seeing the bud six weeks before the flower is needed. If present appearances count for any- thing, this lily is making a strong bid for winning returning favor. So far I do not believe we have thrown out over one per cent as showing disease. Be careful not to overwater the plants. Knock one out here and there occasion- ally and note whether the roots are nice and white. The pots may be filled up now with a rich compost, which will give them the additional nourishment required. Space the plants as they need it, that the bottom foliage may be per- fect. L. Delphos, O. — Walter Trentman con- siders this one of the best average sea- sons in his long experience. The extra prices paid for flowers have been offset by the saving in fuel. Defiance, O. — Christ Winterich, said to be one of the first, if not the first, to boost the cyclamen as a house plant, is more than pleased with the record shown on his wholesale and retail slips. He predicts next season will^^qual, if not surpass, the present one. Jandabt 30. 1919.

As the great world war and the is- sues arising out of it pass into history, among the returning troops many tal- ented, youthful annalists are bringing home vivid, first-hand accounts of the stirring events which crowded so thick- ly one upon another during the several campaigns of the titanic struggle. The audiences of these young spellbinders never tire of listening to their thrilling tales of the tremendous adventures through which they have passed. As each returning patriot is welcomed back or writes letters home, the story of his experiences abroad will be learned with intense interest by all who know him. Send the good word in to The Eeview to be passed along, that the trade may know of the doings of the boys numbered among its members who have given such a good account of themselves overseas, the florist-fighters who have helped to make the name of "Yank" one to which our cousins across the water take their hats off. Photographer in Air Service. After nine months of training, six at Eockwell Field and three at the School of Aerial Photography, Bocheater, N. Y., Bertram A. Pemberton, formerly em- ployed by the Wilson Floral Co., of that city, was sent overseas. He is 24 years of age and was born in New South "Wales, coming to this country eight years ago. The accompanying portrait shows Mr. Pemberton in his flight uni- form. He returned last week. French Bulb Grower Free. Not many American florists enjoy the personal acquaintance of John Drevon, of Ollioules, France, where the Paper Whites and Bomans come from, but large numbers feel a friendly interest because of their dealings with his firm, Drevon-Tegelaar & Co. Word has just come that Mr. Drevon has been released from a German war prison and is back at Ollioules, well and ready for busi- ness. He was one of the French army which turned the Germans back at the Marne, in October, 1914, and he was taken prisoner at that time. He has spent the last four years as a prisoner of war at Dillingen, his sustenance be- ing sent him by friends in Holland. Florists Wear Croix de Guerre. Private Kaymond W. Keilly, the brother of Mrs. T. Cavanaugh and Miss Cecelia Beilly, of J. M. Johnston's, Brad- dock, Pa., and also of Miss Essie EeiUy, of Eandolph & McClements, has been transferred from the 328th Infantry to the Fifth Division headquarters of the Army of Occupation, recently stationed in Luxemburg, but now thought to be in Germany. Mrs. Cavanaugh's hus- band, Lieutenant Cavanaugh, is also in Luxemburg, with the 111th Infantry. Each of these men is the proud, al- though modest, possessor of the Croix 'lv»Jl^txs^Jt^t^tywt^J'.^l-^J^^J^s^t^Jl•y'^J^^^ BUCKEYE BULL'S-EYES THE OUTLOOK. The brief period of post-holiday quietude for florists is now well past and business has settled upon a firm and stable basis. The much dreaded time of reconstruction is gradually pass- ing into history and the flower trade is not only holding its own, but is going at an unprecedented pace. It now can be safely predicted that the remaining months of the winter will be record- breakers and that the available supply of plants and flowers will be decidedly inadequate to meet the demands of the spring months. An army of 2,000,000 young men is slowly returning to its former place in civil life, which is sure to accelerate all social activities. As flowers are constantly increasing in popularity, their use in this dawning time of joy and gladness may logically be expected to be more general and lavish than ever before. As the neces- sity for war gardens no longer exists, outdoor planting will be taken up again in earnest in the spring and the inter- rupted work of beautifying the home surroundings will be resumed with the impetus that comes only from the repose of peace and the greater diffusion of wealth. There never existed greater in- centive to prepare bumper crops to meet this almost certain demand; and the florist who has the goods will be well remunerated for his foresight and in- dustry. It is worthy of note that while almost every other industry is suffering a slight depression at present, the flo- rists' business has escaped, and is in a healthy condition. Substantial reduc- tions already have been made in the prices of boilers and structural steel is expected to decline. The price of glass is still prohibitive, but it must come down, which, with the plenitude of cheaper labor and the improved mar- ket for greenhouse products, should stimulate building. Mac. FLOBAL AST. When the artist essays to paint a pic- ture, the author to write a story and the architect to plan a house, they strive to make their work different from any other by imparting to it a certain in- dividuality. Otherwise there would be little variety in their respective fields. Would it not be well for workers with flowers to give more heed to this gen- eral principle? Or will it be argued that they have not the timet The successful florists of the day are men who recognize the importance of giving character and expression to their output. The same characteristics are manifest in the appointments of their stores, the personalities of their sales- men and their delivery outfits. They are well worthy of emulation. The majority of florists, however, do not realize that they move within the realm of art. Their work is invariably performed hastily and with little va- riety. They are content with giving good value and fresh flowers and ar- ranging them as desired. True, many of them are successful, but, having no set ideals, their business remains common- place, possessing nothing to lend inspira- tion. Oftentimes new assistants, who understand thoroughly the rudiments of color harmonies by reason of supe- rior training, are forced to give up originality in catering to the supposed requirements of a certain trade. The smaller florists in particular are badly in need of training in the skill- ful and harmonious use of flowers. This was demonstrated at the time of the epidemic, when stock was extremely scarce. Their call for short roses and carnations was persistent, simply be- cause of inability to introduce effective variety into their creations by the em- ployment of materials in greater sup- ply, and consequently much business was lost. Mac. KEPLANTINa OLD SPBENGEBI. I have a bed, 5^x100 feet, of As- paragus Sprengeri, which we have con- stantly been cutting from for five years. The bench on which it is grown needs repairs, new bottom boards, etc. I have been told that after two years it is better to throw out the old plants and put in new, but it seems to me that we cut just as much after five years as we did after two years, or at any time. Can I take out the old plants, repair the bench and put the stock back to advantage, and how many of the old plants, if any, will I lose! I get many valuable ideas from The Review and shall be pleased with a suggestion on this subject. L. P. — Mass. At the end of five years' service it is doubtful whether the plants of As- paragus Sprengeri would be worth the labor of lifting and replanting after rebuilding the bench. It would seem better to prop the table up temporarily until the rush of spring work is over; then rebuild it and replant with young stock. Young plants of Sprengeri may be had for from $3.50 to $4 per hundred in 2% -inch pots. Such stock potted on would make good planting material by the time you are ready to use it. W. H. T.

The market continues to be notable for the small volume of business trans- acted, for its meager supply of flowers and for general apathy. The buying is of the hand-to-mouth variety; although buyers cover for regular business quite early in the day, they are obliged to shop around to pick up requirendents should an exceptional order turn up. A retailer who might receive, say, an order, late in the day, for a casket cover calling for a quantity of flowers, finds difficulty in getting his material and not infrequently calls upon brother re- tailers for assistance. The public de- mand is light and proportionate to the prices now in vogue. The consuming demand is not expected to expand until retail prices become more nearly normal. The close relation of supply and de- mand, of course, is what is carrying the situation now, the short supply cov- ering actual needs only. Little relief is in sight. The supply of roses is, if anything, shorter than last week and many carnation growers are off crop. Thus there is small probability of a material decline in prices. Carnations remain at 10 and 12 cents for the best grades, with left-over stock — and it is a little more in evidence now — going at 6 to 8 cents. The finer grades are most in demand and are none too plentiful. American Beauty roses are not plenti- ful, but there are enough for the de- mand. Their price keeps up, along with other flowers, and the prospect of con- cessions is slim. Other roses are any- thing but plentiful, but little change in prices is noticed. There is an early clean-up each day, with an entire ab- sence of speculative buying. Orchids are plentiful and cattleyas move well within a range of 20 to 40 cents each. They are being largely used in funeral work, the cost of other flow- ers giving them an advantage in this respect. Oncidiums are on the scarce side, but are not in lively demand. Gar- denias are fairly plentiful, but the acme of quality appears to have passed, really fine flowers not being greatly in evidence. Consequently prices cover a wide range. Bulbous stock is in small supply and the offerings somewhat low in grade. Tulips are bringing $1.50 per dozen for the best and trumpet narcissi the same. Paper Whites are 75 cents per bunch. These prices are practically staple day by day, when the quality is of average character. There is a plentiful supply of Easter lilies, but arrivals move well at 25 cents for the best. Lily of the valley con- tinues in small supply without change January 30, 1919. The Florists^ Review 21 in price, $2 to $10 being about the range. Some fine callas are arriving, the best of which bring $3 per dozen. Bed lilies are to be had in limited quantity at 10 to 12 cents each. There is a good supply of sweet peas, the best of which bring 4 cents and a few specials 5 cents. Fairy primulas at 25 to 35 cents per bunch, myosotis at 50 to 75 cents, and lilac at $2 per bunch all sell well. Other flowers, such as calendulas, bouvardia, wallflowers, pansies, buddleia, freesias and iris, move well at remunerative figures. Various Notes. A final meeting of the interests hav- ing in hand the preparation of the brief to the Secretary of Agriculture protest- ing against the action of the Federal Horticultural Board in establishing an embargo on importations of plants to take effect June 1, was held at the office of the S. A. F., 1170 Broadway, Janu- ary 21. There were present: J. D. Eisele, Eiverton, N. J.; F. E. Pierson, Tarry town, N. Y.; Winfried Bolker and C. B. Knickman, New York. P. M. Koster, Boskoop, Holland, representing the Holland Growers* Association, also was present. The brief, a lengthy docu- ment dealing with every phase of the question, was settled for due presenta- tion. The wife of Charles Lohr, the Mount Vernon florist, died January 22, of pneu- monia, following influenza. B. John Bogers, Hempstead, N. Y., well known as secretary of the recently defunct Growers' Cut Flower Co., 129 West Twenty-eighth street, is to open a flower and seed store on Main street, Hempstead, about February 1. The new Hotel Pennsylvania, opposite the Pennsylvania Terminal, said to be the largest hotel in the world, was opened January 25. A flower stand is to be established in the hotel, but who will have charge of it is not yet made known. Herbert Spavins, the Mount Easco flo- rist, was in town last week. He reports the outlook for business in his section as quite good. His particular concern at the time of his visit was securing gera- nium stock, which he finds to be incon- veniently scarce. Fred Krauss, for many years prior to the war assistant to E. F. Winterson, Chicago, was a caller in the market January 24. He had just returned from France, where he had been serving be- hind the front in a company of field ar- tillery for several months, and appeared to be glad of the prospect of a return within a few days to Camp Grant, to be mustered out. During his short stay here he was stationed at Camp Merritt. Paul B. Klingsporn, of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, was in New York January 23, looking over the wholesale market. He was of the opin- ion that market conditions were little different from those recently experi- enced in Chicago. That the supply of good bulbs from Holland was exceedingly short last fall is well demonstrated these days at the New York Cut Flower Exchange, where there is a considerable array of empty benches during early market hours. The shortage in fuel supply also is consid- ered partly responsible for this condi- tion. A good deal of the glass out of use owing to the fuel restrictions is be- ing used for the production of early vegetables, such as radishes, lettuce, etc. Tomatoes will also furnish a catch crop for many establishments. ^VW^, «**»/ '!^i#f' ■'"mm*. !im:'.rMs^im^i4 jQ(^(fti,*f ■ ;^ yim'-'"^.ris^\'m: C.

Manda, David "Ward, Boman J. Irwin, W. E. Pierson and John Young will be of the party. Mr. Young goes primarily to attend the meeting of the publicity com- mittees January 30 and will leave for Detroit on the evening of that day, to attend the meeting of the directors of the S. A. F. January 31 and February 1. Mr. Manda also will attend the board meeting and Philip F. Kessler and Chas. H. Totty will leave on Thursday after- noon for Detroit for the same purpose. Visitors last week: Geo. B. Hart, Bochester, N. Y.; Patrick Welch, Bos- ton, Mass.; E. P. Tracy, Albany, N. Y.; Gus. Amrhyn, New Haven, Conn. The next meeting of the New York Florists* Club will be held February 10. A good deal of interest attaches to the report of the dinner committee, which is expected at this meeting. J. H. P. A spring flower show will be held March 28 to 30, at the American Mu- seum of Natural History. In order that this exhibition may be a success, it will be necessary for all to put their shoul- ders to the wheel and do their bit. Co- operation is now the spirit of the age, and let horticulturists prove they are alive to this spirit by making this show a big success. All, whether members of the Horticultural Society or not, are in- vited to exhibit. Schedules are now ready for distribution and may be had by addressing the secretary at New "iork Botanical Garden, Bronx park, New York city. George V. Nash, Sec'y. DETROIT, MICH. The Market. Market conditions last week were dis- couraging. It was impossible to get stock even for special orders placed in advance. It follows that business was too much for the local market, but with out-of-town stock and good salesman- ship, the many parties and weddings were nicely taken care of. Betailers re- port several large decorations and much funeral work as well. Boses are exceptionally good, Ophelia and Columbia having large flowers and strong stems. Beceipts of Hoosier Beauty and Sunburst, however, were weak in the stem. Sweet peas are arriving and, with violets and freesias, they lessen the de- mand for short roses. Plants are in steady demand. Cycla- mens, primulas and a few azaleas are the varieties offered. Various Notes. A meeting of the S. A. F. committees was held January 23. They are to report at the next meeting of the Flo- rists' Club. Mrs. Gray, of John Breitmeyer's Sons, is attending the opening of the new Statler hotel in New York. It so hap- pened that she met and entertained Harry Breitmeyer, who had just landed from a transport after war service in France. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Breit- meyer left at once for New York when the news of their son's arrival was re- ceived. H. T. REAL BUSINESS NOW. Like so many others who have be- come successful florists, C. E. Hays, of Salem, 111., built his greenhouse for his own pleasure, but later began to sell, plants and flowers. He made his stari^ in 1909. The business increased until it outgrew its quarters and he was planning to build another greenhouse when war was declared. The death of his father, which occurred February 28, 1918, left him with land and other prop- erty and he is getting things into shape to build in the near future. Woodstock, Ont.— James S. Wilson & Son cut 10,000 chrysanthemum blooms out of one house between December 14 and January 1, the wholesale price be- ing from $20 to $60 per hundred. The varieties were Maud Dean, Dean Sport, Harvard, Golden Wedding and Eager. It constituted one of the most success- ful crops they ever have grown. 22 The Florists^ Review January 30, 1919. NEW ORLEANS. The Market. The month of January has been one continuous rush for all catering to the demand for floral designs. The locally grown bulbous stock is taken before it comes into full bloom and out-of-town shipments scarcely fill requirements. Only one local firm grows cut roses un- der glass and the cut is used in the retail store of this concern. The De- cember frost killed nearly all the early outdoor-grown sweet peas, especially those ready to bloom, and only a few florists are growing them under glass, and this year the best crops will not be ready until the latter part of February. Large decorative plants are taking an unwonted rest. The usual social func- tions have not been resumed, to the dis- may of the trade. No outdoor flowers of any kind can be cut at present and, with such untoward weather conditions, rainy, cold and cloudy, weeks may pass before any cutting may be done, even if February leaves the plants untouched by frost. Pansies, sweet alyssum and marigolds ordinarily are to be seen in bloom at this season, but none are in evidence now. It seems to the florists, at any rate, as if our southern winter is becoming more inclement every year that passes. Wholesale and retail plant growers report a strong demand for all kinds of stock, especially flowering plants, with a marked increase in the shipping trade. The sale of bulbous stock for garden planting is still small, as compared with that of other southern cities. Although only the different varieties of narcissus bring satisfactory results planted out- doors, there is a great demand for this flower here, developed by timely and persistent advertising in the local pa- pers. Landscape gardeners are at the point of despair. They all have large stocks of fine bedding plants of all kinds on hand and hundreds of beds all over the city are ready for plantinjg, and every florist in town is wishing and waiting for sunshine and dry weather to start things going. Club Meeting. The New Orleans Gardeners' Club held its annual meeting and election of officers at 419 St. Cnarles street, Janu- ary 2, with a fair attendance. Treas- urer .T. H. Kinck reported the financial condition as satisfactory. Financial and Recording Secretary Richard Eichling stated that all meetings had been well attended, with an increase of three ac- tive members during the last six months and a total active membership of twen- ty-seven. On motion of Joseph Stock- ier, all the present ofiicers of the club were unanimously reelected for the coming year. They are: President, Paul Abele; vice-president, Henry Kraak; treasurer, J. H. Rinck; secretary, Rich- ard Eichling. After the installation of officers, supper was served. The long table was decorated with roses and nar- cissi. Joseph Steckler acted as toast- master. The arrangements committee consisted of Robert Reinecke, chairman; Otto Abele and Henry Kraak. Various Notes. Henry Kraak 's range is filled with all kinds of plants and trees for the shipping and home trade. Judging by the orders being made ready for ship- ment, he is doing a land-office business and his cut flower trade also has in- creased greatly this winter. Frank Broker, his head gardener, is recovered from his recent illness and is about again. J. A. Newsham has the finest stock of Phcenix Roebelenii and orchids in town. Both find ready buyers, his cat- tleyas being especially in request. As he isMoe^ted near the principal ceme- teries, his cut flower sales are enor- mous. Max Scheinuk's place is steadily im- proving. It is well filled with strong, healthy plants of all kinds, including a large assortment of outdoor roses. He reports the best business on record in all departments. The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., Ltd., Harry Papworth, president, is a large and modern establishment. A large range of houses here is planted with Radiance and Red Radiance, Ophelia and Kaiserin. A seedling raised here. Climbing Radiance, of which there are 1,000 young plants, is bound to make a hit. All the roses grown here for cut blooms are strong and clean, with long stems and well set with buds. Most of them are disposed of at the retail store of this concern. Orchid-flowering sweet peas, snapdragons and an immense amount of bulbous stock are coming into flower. Climbing hybrid bush roses, as well as a house of Creole Easter lilies for Easter, look promising. Mr. Pap- worth reports the wholesale and retail business the largest in years. Several sad events took place in the homes of some of our local florists dur- ing the latter half of this month. Peter Kaul lost his wife and daughter within one week. John H. Rinck lost his youngest daughter. Both have the heartfelt sympathy of their colleagues in the trade. Abele Bros., whose greenhouses and coldframes are well stocked with all kinds of salable plants, report excellent business in all lines. One house of Creole Easter lilies looked promising and the Freesia Purity seen here is the best possible. Henry Cook had his usual fine stock of home-grown hardy ever- greens and pot roses. A house of strong callas in bloom is worth noting. Sales both at the nursery and the store are better this season than for years. R. E. CINCINNATI. The Market. Everything that comes into the mar- ket cleans up. Occasionally stock must be held over one day, but this is the ex- ception rather than the rule. The rose supply continues short of actual needs. Carnations are plentiful and find a good market. Easter lilies, rubrum lilies and callas are each in fair supply. The list of offerings in bulbous stock includes Paper WMte narcissi, yellow narcissi, f reesias and Dutch hya- cinths. Sweet peas have become plenti- ful. Other offerings are orchids, vio- lets, snapdragons, calendulas, wallflow- ers, baby primroses, forget-me-nots and mignonette. Various Notes. Paul Naber, who was with C. E. Crit- chell before entering the service, has been mustered out of the army. E. G. Gillett and C. E. Critchell are going to Cleveland for the meeting of the Carnation Society this week. The former will stop at Springfield, O., on his way to the Forest City. The William Murphy Co. has been get- ting in Spencer sweet peas in quanti- ties, which sell readily. The list of recent visitors includes Mr. and Mrs. Frank Friedley, Cleveland, O.; Samuel E. Quint, AUston, Mass.; C. Meinann, New York city; Earl Mann and Fred H. Lemon, Richmond, Ind.; Albert A. Kramer, Dayton, O., and David S. Geddis, of the St. Louis Whole- sale Cut Flower Co., St. Louis, Mo. C H.

He has lots of ammunition in reserve. William Honeysett, of Erie, Pa., ob- served that the proverbial bee aptly typifies the busy condition of their busi- ness right through the season, which has been a regular buzzer. Secretary Williams, of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., Cleveland, 0., is of the opinion that, until the cost of material is considerably lowered, few houses will be built, even at the prevailing high prices of flowers, which, however, are uncertain and unsteady. The Harvey Seed Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., lost a genial managef when C. H. Manly recently retired from the business to turn to the farm. The management is now in the hands of George B. Eger- ton, who was associated for many years with Mr. Manly. The Wilson Florist Co., of Cleveland, O., has closed down its houses for the winter and will rebuild in the spring four houses, with an office and salesroom at the front entrance. "Meanwhile," observed James Woodruff Wilson, "we will depend upon the commission houses for our supply. Unfortunately, how- ever, prices asked by them for carna- tions and roses around the holidays forced us to push sales on plants in preference. We were asked 15 cents apiece for carnations and roses. Christ- mas day carnations were offered at $40 per thousand, with no takers. It seems the commission men had no discretion- ary powers, but were forced to ask prices fixed by the growers. Now sev- eral of the retailers are trying to bring back the flower buyers who were fright- ened away. They may return. Much pickled stock was sent out. For in- stance, one dozen roses sold for $22 went to pieces as soon as they were placed. While we are endeavoring by means of publicity to educate the public to in- creasing use of flowers, it seems that, •on the other hand, the goose which lays the golden egg is being killed. There must be a more sympathetic understanding between all concerned to bring about the desired results." W. M. January 30, 1919. The Florists^ Review 23 Mack Bichmond. The passing of Mack Bichmond, Janu- ary 23, is mourned by many friends in the trade in and around Baltimore, Md., where he had been associated with lead- ing florists for many years. Death was due to pneumonia. Mr. Eichmond obtained his first ex- perience in his chosen vocation with William Fowler, at Clifton, Md. He was for seventeen years foreman for Halliday Bros., and at the time of his death was manager for William P. Coch- ran, at Woodbrook. He was a member of the Baltimore Florists' Club and at the funeral service, which was largely attended, the pallbearers were William Christie, William Lehr, Thomas Steven- son, John Halliday, Robert Halliday and John J. Perry. There were many beau- tiful floral pieces. He is survived by a wife and two daughters. Mr. Bichmond was a member of the S. A. F. and was superintendent of the trades' display when the convention was held in Baltimore in 1911. Tate. Oeorge Schneider. George Schneider, of Dayton, 0., fa- ther of Frank Schneider, died January 22. He was a member of Company I, N. M. H. of D. V. S. C. F. M. Harry P. Myers. The death of Harry P. Myers, of Delphi, Ind., which occurred recently as the result of a relapse after pneumonia, is mourned by many friends. He had been in business at Delphi since the fall of 1910, first as a gardener and later as a florist. After the erection of a modern greenhouse, he became associ- ated in a partnership with Edwin Baum in the florists' business exclusively. Mr. Myers was born in 1887 and mar- ried in 1909 Miss Emma Eicihorn, who survives him, with their four children. Interment took place at Galion, 0., the birthplace of the decedent. He was a man of exemplary character and his family have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. Charles Fox, Sr. Charles Fox, Sr., died suddenly of heart failure, in a trolley car at Six- teenth and Market streets, Philadelphia, Friday evening, January 24. Albert W. Swan, of the S. S. Pennock Co., was in the car at the time and went to Mr. Fox's assistance. Mr. Fox was in his eighty-first year. While it had been necessary for him to avoid excitement for many years, his general health had been excellent, ap- parently. Charles Fox was one of the pioneer florists of Philadelphia. To the young men who are coming to the front today he was best known as the father of Charles Henry Fox, but to the leaders in the profession, the men who have passed the stages of struggle and made their mark, Mr. Fox was known as a man of sterling integrity, whose word was as good as his bond. Mr. Fox was of a cheerful, happy disposition and made friends everywhere. Charles Fox was first known in Phila- delphia as foreman for Hugh Graham, then the leading decorator at Eighteenth Mack Richmond. and Thompson streets. Later Mr. Fox opened a retail flower shop at Broad and Thompson streets, where he built up a good business and carried it on successfully for many years. Some years ago Mr. Fox sold his business to Richard Umphried, who now conducts it, keeping Mr. Fox 's name on his sign. Mr. Fox, tiring of inactivity, returned later to help Mr. Umphried. Mr. Fox took great pride in his summer home at Ocean City, N. J., keeping his cottage and grounds in beautiful order. The funeral, which was largely at- tended, was held at his late residence, 1307 North Broad street, Januarv 28. Phil. Henry Holtcamp. A veteran florist of Dallas, Tex., passed away January 12 in the person of Henry Holtcamp, who was born in 1837 and was therefore in his eighty- second year. The greenhouse business which he established is still conducted in his name and his late residence ad- joins the range. He is survived by his widow, two sons, a daughter, two grand- children and a nephew. Mr. Holtcamp was a member of the Methodist church. Funeral services occurred January 14. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery. KANSAS CITY. The Market. Stock of all kinds is scarce and high, but such as is available is of good qual- ity. Everything that could be made to bloom was forced for the holidays; con- sequently crops are off now. Roses and carnations are difficult to get in suffi- cient quantities to supply the demand, but prices are lower than a week ago. Roses are now running from 10 to 20 cents and carnations are 6 cents. Spring flowers are beginning to help out the situation, but the lack of bulbs is felt. Narcissi are selling for 5 cents, sweet peas from $1.50 to $2 and California violets for $2 per dozen bunches. There has not been so much social activity as was hoped for following the close of the war. The Christmas holi- days witnessed a number of dances and a few elaborate dinners, for all of which the florists had good orders, but since that time the social season has been quiet and decorating business has not been equal to that of pre-war times. It seems that it will take time for the people to get back to the spirit of en- tertaining after being engaged in war work for so long, but they will come to it in time. Various Notes. Mrs. Edith Roberts, of the Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., will leave January 27 for Los Angeles, where she will spend several months with her daughter, Mrs. D. R. Anderson. Among recent visitors in the city were Mr. and Mrs. J. Herbert Moore, Claremore, Okla.; J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., and William Hasselmann, Independence, Kan. D. E. W. Jeflferson City, Mo.— Henry T.

The Beview brings results. Fuel consumption this January has been only a small fraction of what it was in the initial month of 1918. At funerals we now see at least as many colored flowers as white ones, a change in custom greatly to the advantage of the trade. There will be no large spring flower show in the United States, or elsewhere, this year. It is too soon after the close of the war. The S. a. F. committee on National. Flower Show is expected to present, at the Detroit convention in August, plans for resuming the series of large exhibitions interrupted by the war. One will be risking no reputation as a prophet if it is predicted that next spring's bedding season will be much heavier than in the last two years. It will be as well to get ready. Plan now to keep a record of the St. Valentine's day orders, the ones received from other florists and the ones sent for other florists to deliver, number of orders and total value. Send the record to The Eeview February 15. Do not fear there will be little stock for Easter and spring. The trade is filled with energetic, resourceful men, and they are working up large blocks of plants of many kinds. We are confident there will bo call for all. W. E. Wallace, Eaton Bray, England, who has many American friends, visitors to his place and acquaintances made on a trip here the year of our first national flower show, is planning another tour of the United States this summer. The help problem is steadUy correcting itself through the cessation of war and war work. Especially in the eastern muni- tions centers there is plenty of unskiUed labor to be had at moderate wages. Skilled help never was abundant in the florists' business. On the whole, the new year has started well and promises better. A FLORIST should wear a smiling coun- tenance; frowns and flowers do not go together. Let's let "the other fellow" have some business if he wants to take it at unprofitable prices. Sell good stock and the customer comes back. Sell poor stock and you probably never hear of it again, unless there is a kick. We must not overcharge the public, but we must ask enough and pay enough to encourage the production of good stock. It may be well to say again that in- quiries which do not bear the full name and address of the sender cannot receive attention. There is every indication that green- house building and rebuilding will break all records, not in the size of the jobs, but in their number. Ip the average person were an accurate judge of values a good many people would go out of business. This wiU ex- plain why your competitor is able to stick around. Perhaps no other day in the year, not even Christmas or Mothers' day, affords . the opportunity St. Valentine's day gives for boosting the telegraph delivery de- partment. The attention to complaints and claims is even slower than when the express com- panies were separately and privately op- erated. Nor has remittance on C. 0. D.'s been accelerated, to say the least. Large numbers of new people now are going into the florists' business, in the majority of cases in a modest way, grow- ing outdoor stock for local trade. Green- houses will come later for those who suc- ceed. A FEW florists may think that anything is good enough to work up in a funeral piece. It is not true. Listen to the com- ments made on the flowers after any large funeral and it will be plain that the only way to get away with it is to deliver the pieces with only the name of the pur- chaser. Among other items the cut flower mar- kets will lose through the operation of the approaching quarantine is Iris tingitana, the roots of which have come from Hol- land and the Island of Guernsey. But perhaps someone will in time develop an American supply of roots that can be forced. For years the florists' trade has been becoming less and less attractive to in- telligent, ambitious workers; yet it is a fine business. What we need is to raise our standards all along the line. Now is the time to make a start, each doing his part. Wages are up; keep them there. Prices are up ; keep them there. The florists' trade is different from most lines of business in that there is no control over selling prices; the producer must sell his output within a limited time after it is ready or see it spoil, Vfith the result that he takes as much as he can or as little as he must. It would be easier, far, if sales could be declined or produc- tion slowed up when prices are too low to be profitable. DEMAND AND SUPPLY. ^ Apprehensions as to the effect on the trade of the war were scarcely formu- lated before prognostications were heard as to the difficulties which must be faced in the period of reconstruc- tion followiijg suspension of hostilities. But, as in the case of the dying father who told his sons that he had had a good deal of trouble during his long life, but that most of it was things that never happened, a good deal of this pessimism has not been justified by actual conditions. At any rate, the law of supply and demand has kept things moving and reports from every quar- ter are indicative of improved condi- tions rather than the contrary. This is one of the reasons for the optimism which characterizes the reports received from patrons of the Classified depart- ment of The Eeview. Another is that experience has taught them how to find a market for their crops at a trifling cost. We submit that there is nothing in the letters of these growers to in- dicate discouragement: Please omit our geranium ad In the Classifled section for a while. Orders are coming in faster than we can fill them. — Cherry Park Gar- dens, Fredonia, N. Y., January 13, 1919. . Kindly discontinue my ad in the Classifled department for chrysanthemum stock plants. It is costing me too much in postage to return checks. — Max B. Schreiber, McDonald, Pa., Jan- uary 11, 1919. 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. OHIOAOO. The Market. An increase in both shipping business and city demand has caused a further shortage of stock. The market this week finds short and medium-stemmed roses extremely scarce, with long- stemmed stock, which was abundant last week, just about plentiful enough to go around. With this condition pre- vailing, a further shortage is predicted for St. Valentine's day. Many of the wholesalers have large advance orders for carnations and roses. The rose price holds up. A scarcity of Beauties continues, with prices stiff. Carnations are no longer abundant, there being just enough for the call, due to the in- crease in out-of-town orders. There is not as much stock coming in as there was last week, as the carnation crop is starting to shorten up. Everything cleans up, from the commonest splits to those of the highest grade, but prices are not advancing. Valley is scarce and from present in- dications there will not be enough for St. Valentine 's day, at which time an enormous quantity is used for corsage work. The demand for orchids has in- creased, but there is more than enough stock to go around. Plenty of violets are coming in to take care of immediate needs and no shortage of these is looked for. Easter lilies are scarce; likewise callas. A shortage of calendulas con- tinues. Sweet peas in all lengths of stems are now arriving plentifully and there is enough to take care of the pres- ent call for them. The flowers are of fine quality and bring a satisfactory price. Although stevia is about over for the season, there is still a little to be had. Paper Whites continue on the long side, but yellow narcissi remain scarce. The Jandaby 30, 1919.

CHICAGO, ILL. supply of tulips is increasing, but most of these have waiting orders before they reach the market; the same condi- tion exists with jonquils. Plenty of Roman hyacinths and freesia continue to come and there is enough to fill all orders. The green goods market re- mains the same as in the last few weeks; everything is plentiful. Henderson Buys Winterson's Seeds. Winterson's Seed Store will be suc- ceeded, February 1, by A. Henderson & Co., the deal having been closed Janu- ary 28. Mr. Henderson says he will use his present quarters on State street only for storage until his lease runs out, May 1, and that all business hereafter will be transacted at the Winterson ad- dress. He has retained the services of John P. Degnan, long manager for Mr. Winterson, the understanding being that Mr. Degnan will devote the greater part of his energies to the development of the retail end of the business. A new lease on tlie first floor at 166 North Wabash avenue has been obtained. E. F. Winterson states that he has re- ceived offers for the florists' supply and cut flower departments, located in the basement at the same address, and that lie may take this opportunity to retire to his property at Highland Park, where he has a considerable planting of nursery stock. Will Do Cooperative Advertising. At last Chicago florists are to make a start in cooperative advertising in tlie daily newspapers. And, like Chi- cago, having decided to do it, it is to be done at once. Since the Eetail Florists' Association was organized a few months ago, fre- quent conferences have been held with the Wholesale Cut Flower Association. Thes« resulted, at a meeting held at luncheon at La Salle hotel January 28, in the decision to raise a fund, both from the treasuries and by subscrip- tion, to be spent in advertising flowers to the people of Chicago. The details were placed in the hands of a commit- tee consisting of George Wienhoeber, George Asmus and A. Lange. The chief idea is to deal with gluts by letting the public know when flow- ers are plentiful, instead of letting the department stores tell it through their ridiculous sales, but the approach of a glut is not to be awaited; the advertis- ing is to start early in February, in advance of St. Valentine's day. President L. R. Bohannon, of the re- tailers' organization, states that it is the hope of both bodies that every flo- rist in Chicago will join the retailers. The dues of active members, of whom there are twenty-five, are $25 a year, but associate membership may be had at $10 a year and all the money goes into the publicity fund. The idea is to get every retail florist to push his selling :>:r'-^'^^ •;/;"■■< ■■■ . -■■ Jancaby 30, 1919 The Florists^ Review 27 182 N. Wabash Avenue Chicago, t D.

Barnard's Poultry Show. To a stranger in Chicago, approach- ing West Madison and Franklin streets last week, the impression was given that some sort of a bargain sale was going on in that vicinity. The crowd going in and out and watching the win- dows of the W. W. Barnard Co. did not indicate a bargain sale or anything of the sort, but a novelty poultry show, the first of its kind to be held in this section of the country. The main floor was filled with wire cages containing guinea pigs and rab- bits as well as everythipg known in the poultry line. The windows con- tained ducks, several kinds of pheasants, proud peacocks and other birds. Traffic on the sidewalks was impeded and the ushers inside the store were un- able to handle the throngs of people passing in and out. The W. W.

He says 10-inch roses sold for 15 cents and 12-inch for 20 cents, while longer- stemmed stock was far higher than it is in the Chicago market. In Philadelphia Mr. Klingsporn says carnations brought 10, 12 and 15 cents last week and fancy Laddie sold for 20 cents. Roses were about the same in price as in New York. The only flowers that he saw on his trip that were lower in price than on the . Chicago market were orchids. Mr. Klingsporn says he is glad he is located in Chicago, after seeing eastern condi- tions, and thinks that the retailers would feel the same if they made a visit to other large markets. C. L. Washburn will leave Chicago about February 15 for Pasadena, Cal. Mr. Washburn will not go directly west, as he has planned going to New Or- leans first, then to Galveston and San Antonio, Tex., and from there to Pasa- dena. At Pasadena he will meet his son, E. B. Washburn, on business matters, as the latter will start for Chicago at the end of February to take charge of the business of Bassett & Washburn during his father's absence. Mr. Wash- burn will be accompanied by his wife and will return sometime in April. Among the growers who are vacation- ing are W. J. Keimel and Albert F. Am- ling. They are at Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. Amling is with them. Bonvallet & Co., the concern with which C. S. Clausen is identified, is pre- paring to plant about 800,000 gladiolus bulbs on about twenty acres at Wichert, HI., for cut flowers. To provide space for what is expected to be the largest i^ripg business to date, the American Bulb Co., on the west side of Wabash avenue, has rented the basement of the E. C. Amling Co., just across, on the east side. The concern already has a large basement space in the Le Moyne building, but it is prac- tically all occupied by gladiolus bulbs. Peter Reinberg has added $200 per year to the S. A. F. publicity fund. James G. Hancock, who is widely known in the trade, has gone into the^ insurance business with G. N.

It was his first visit since he was released from the service of Uncle Sam and, although it was a business trip, he enjoyed it greatly. Blaine and Glen Wilcox, of J. F.

They were accompanied by their wives and went on to Cleveland for the carnation show. Charles Eobinson, of H. M.

Lange, of the Park Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., spent several days around the market this week. O. O. Boston, of Tulsa, Okla., spent several days in the market last week. His trip was both for business and pleasure. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. Contrary to the experience of preced- ing years, January has been a good busi- ness month. Except for a slight flush in carnations, lasting but a few days, sup- ply and demand have balanced and prices have been good. Carnations have stiffened in price since last week, the range being from $5 to $10. In gen- eral their quality is good and the de- mand strong. Eoses continue scarce, while their popularity is increasing. Narcissi are plentiful at $4 and $5, and move fairly well. Easter lilies con- tinue scarce. Calla lilies are more am- ple, but move well at $2.50 and $3. More small flowers are available and are good sellers. Sweet peas and free- sias are good property and orchids are in evidence in window displays. Mar- guerites, mignonette, violets, calendulas and baby primroses are available. Greens are in limited supply. Fern leaves are of inferior quality and galax is hard to procure. Smilax, plumosus and Sprengeri are in short supply. Inquiry is being made about stock for St. Valentine's day and from present indications supplies will be inadequate for the increased demand, as average daily business consumes the supply of cut flowers, while potted plants are in limited variety and quantity. Chate- laine begonias, cyclamens, a few ferns and Primula obconica and malacoides constitute the offerings in potted stock.

Sweet peas are not so plentiful as the wholesale houses would like to have them. We hear a great deal of com- plaint about the buds dropping, and this is happening to such an extent as to make the supply short. Paper Whites, while far from plentiful, are coming in much better supply each day. The same may be said of freesias, the only bulbous stock to amount to anything that is yet to be seen. There is a fair supply of all miscellaneous stock, but it all goes so quickly that it is a hard matter to get a line on it. There is little complaint from anyone regarding prices or the failure to get just what they want; everyone realizes it is a condition and not a theory they are facing this winter, and they are satisfied to do the best they can. One thing is certain; the shortage of stock, with consequent high prices, is making better business men out of a lot of flo- rists. Various Notes. The other evening I had a long talk with George Black. He is enthusiastic over the next and only cotillion to be held here this winter. Mr. Black has had charge of the decorations for these dances from time out of mind and he says the one to be held on Washington 's birthday is going to be the most elab- orate he has ever done. He is working out some of the features now and when Mr. Black says this is to be the best, it means something, for I have been per- mitted to have a peep at many of them. This might be a good opportunity to throw out a hint to those retailers who are always busy for the cotillion. A lot of stock is going to be used, and this is the only chance they will have this winter and roses are scarce. James Hamilton, of Mount Washing- ton, is having a fine cut of roses these days. Last September Mr. Hamilton was in great perplexity. He had been unable to keep help during the summer and the weeds were up to the glass in his rose range, so he decided to let this range go for the winter. His son was released from the army September 15. They were going over the place to- gether when his son said it was a great pity to let this range go, as there was WAX FLOWERS Large Wax Callas, (24 to box) for $1.50 Small Wax Callas, (48 to box) for 2.50 White Lilac, (6 sprays to bunch), per doz. bu. 1.50 Violets, (24 to bunch), per doz. bu 1.50 Cape Flowers, large white waxed (300 to box) for $2.50 Choice Wax Roses, per 100 4.00 Special White Waxed Carnations, (200 to box) for 3.00 Choice Brown Natural Galax Leaves, per 1000, $1.50 GEO.

Here is where youth counts. The young man asked, "Can you get the coal?" He was answered, "Yes." "Then we will fire ourselves," he said. We have not seen Mr. Hamilton at any club meet- ings this winter; his is the early watch. If any of my readers are lonely these long winter evenings and do not mind sitting in the boiler pit, they can jour- ney out to Mount Washington, and I am sure Mr. Hamilton will be glad to have their company. I saw some of the Radiance roses they cut at Christmas and they brought 40 cents each. There are other similar cases. But why talk about them? You cannot keep anyone who was raised in the florists' business down long. They may be "badly bat- tered," but when the gong sounds you will find them "still in the ring." William Lehr told recently of a case he had seen on his late visit to Phila- delphia. His party had been out all day and they reached the last place on their list at dusk. It was a large range where some of the best roses in the Quaker City are produced, but it was late and they could find no one. They WM. C. SMITH Wholesale Floral Co. WHOLESALE FLORISTS 131«PINEST.

LOUIS, MO. the stores was reported excellent. Ship- ping trade from outside points, with the local demand, cleaned up daily receipts except violets and sweet peas, which have been coming in heavy supply all the week. The retailers say that since prices have become normal again, the cut flower business has gone back to its proper proportions. Boses have increased in supply, but the demand absorbs the daily consign- ments. Bussell, Columbia, Ophelia and Stanley have the call in the fancy grades. Short-stemmed roses are in large demand, but only a few come in. Carnations have been off crop, but are beginning to arrive and large receipts are expected by the end of the week. Enchantress has been the best seller all the season, but the reds have dragged. Bulbous stock is coming in larger sup- ply as the days go by. Last week saw a busier market in Paper Whites, lilies, freesias, Bomans and valley than for some time. Sweet peas are coming and the large arrivals have caused the prices to fall to 75 cents and $1 per hun- dred. Violets are arriving in quantities in excess of requirements and prices ac- cordingly have been cut to $5 and $7.50 per thousand. There is a good supply of greens to meet the large demand. Various Notes. The publicity committee of the Flo- rists' Club held an important meeting January 21 at headquarters, which was called to talk over advertising for St. Valentine's day. It was well attended and considerable space was contracted for in the daily papers for February 9 and 11, The St. Louis County Growers ' Asso- ciation doubtless will call off its meet- ing scheduled for February 5, as its date conflicts with that of the florists' Vic- tory banquet, which the growers will attend in a body.

The cut flower market is exceedingly active, with prices firmer than a week ago. At that time carnations were a trifle weak for a day or so, with indica- tions that prices would decline. Now they are in demand at good prices for everything perfect. The splits sell, but at af lower figure. This recovery in car- nations shows the strength of the mar- ket/ because the crop is heavy. Boses, on the contrary, are in light supply, with prices unchanged. Beauties are still to be had; they are likely to con- tinue on the list throughout February. There are a few more Bussells and a fair supply of the standard varieties in red, yellow, white and pink, more of the last-named color, probably, than of all the others combined. There are two outstanding features of the market this week. One is the plenti- ful supply of Cattleya Trianse. This flower is so plentiful that prices on it are down. So low they are, in fact, that it is claimed cattleyas are the only flower within reach of the curbstone merchants, a funny condition of affairs. The other feature is the large supply of Freesia Purity. To California we owe this really splendid stock, which many of our growers are sending into town. Made-in-America freesia is push- ing the imported Paper White narcissus aside. It is selling so well as to en- courage the belief that it has a great future. So far the market seems in- clined to pay the extra cost of produc- tion, although Paper Whites are also bringing good prices. There are a few Boman hyacinths. Miscellaneous flow- ers are a trifle more plentiful. Greens are scarce. The favorable weather has encouraged business. Boelofs.

It stands as a monument to the ability and enter- prise of the man who planned it. Built nine years ago, with small additions since, Boelofs is today a thoroughly modern place; its products stand in the front rank of the Philadelphia and New York markets. Saving that the wise counsel and genial personality of the head of the house are missing, the management of Boelofs is unchanged. The men who were active in its management nine years ago are still active. They have carried the place successfully through the war and the epizootic an,d there is every indication of continued prosper- ity. The Killarneys have been the main- stay of Boelofs for nine years. It is probable that they will be reduced grad- ually, although they are still so good that there are Killarney cuttings in the sand, evidently intended for replacing some of the original stock. Bobert Jamison feels that nine years is long enough for a rose planted under glass for winter blooming, even when it is in a ground bed. Bichmond is doing splendidly.

Bichmond is found most profit- able; its success is usually linked to a pinched crop for Christmas. This sea- son, owing to the "flu," the crop came in too soon, but the market was so good that it did not make the difference that it would have made in a normal season. Hadley was disappointing early in the season. Now it is making up for lost time, with not so much heavy wood as last year, but a wealth of medium- stemmed buds on all the plants. Dear little Mrs. Aaron Ward is not behaving as usual, courting dismissal. Ophelia, on the other hand, is producing freely. Columbia is a pleasing sight. The plants, 6,000 in number, show that there has been a heavy cut. The flowers are larger and carried erect on long, heavy stems. ( . — JAMUABT 30. 1919.

Heacock said that Premier will be added to the list of varieties to be planted at Boelofs next season. Mr. Heacock was interested in a tractor that was being overhauled to be in readi- ness for use on the farm in the spring. Culture. A jar on one of the counters of the S. S. Pennock Co. last week contained several bunches of Freesia Purity that were remarkable. They may be best described as the equal of the finest Paper White narcissi in respect to the size of the florets, length of stem and quality of foliage. They exceed Paper Whites in delicacy of fragrance and in refinement. Such stock has undoubt- edly been seen in other wholesale houses. This instance is given to show what culture is doing to Freesia Purity both in the fields of California and in the greenhouses here. Callers at the ofiice of Clarence U. Liggit were amazed and delighted by the specimens of Primula obconica that chanced to be there. They were in 4-inch and 5-inch pots, so perfectly grown as to leave absolutely nothing to be desired — large, shapely plants, with clean, perfect foliage, unusually large flowers of exquisitely soft shades of color. They were an inspiration to anyone who cares for plants. Various Notes. The M. Eice Co. has received letters from three former employees now in the service. Lieutenant David C.

The McCallum Co. has removed its basket factory from the third and fourth floors of the building at 137 San- dusky street to the old Third Ward schoolhouse, on the North Side. The intention is to occupy the entire build- ing and double the force of workers for the purpose.

Most of it has been in funeral orders, which have included a number of large pieces of good quality.

Among the spring flowers, which are moving well and are in good supply, freesias, Paper Whites and sweet peas were noted. The cut of violets is increasing, but stevia is gone and few snapdragons or calendulas are seen. Various Notes. James E. Beach reports a number of orders booked for funeral work recently. His roses are off crop, but he is cutting excellent carnations and narcissi. John Beck & Son had a narrow escape from having their store wiped out by a fire which occurred recently in the build- ing in which they are now located. Some parts of the structure were badly dam- aged, but Mr. Beck reports that no great damage was done to his quarters. This concern had moved from the building in which it had been located for a number of years to temporary quarters at the corner of Main and Golden Hill streets, as the old building is being demolished. Although the new store is on a good corner and is attractive, Mr. Beck in- tends to return to the old site as soon as the new building is erected and ready for occupancy. Julius Beck says all available stock is cleaned up as soon as it is cut. On account of the cloudy weather of the last few days, flowers have not been blooming as they should. Bobert Hawkins tells us that cut flowers are now available in larger quan- tities and that there is a brisk demand for them. The high prices still hold. Funeral pieces are in large demand and a number of large designs were made here recently. The Park Flower Shop is cutting vio- lets and carnations of excellent quality.

If all had done so, however, prices might not be so good. Koses continue scarce and prices aver- age better than a week ago. During the last few weeks white roses fell as low as $8 on one or two days for short- stemmed stock, but they started the present week at $12. Everything in the way of roses is soon picked up. Carna- tions maintain last week's prices. Good flowers sell well at an average of $6, with fancies at $8. Violets are not abundant, but sweet peas of splendid quality are coming in more freely. There is a fair supply of both callas and lilies. Prices on both hold up well. A few Guernsey trumpet narcissi are coming in, but no Dutch stock is yet in flower. Paper Whites sell easily, like- wise freesias. Snapdragons appear only in small lots as yet. Of miscellaneous flowers noted there are forget-me-nots, wallflowers, calendulas, Iris tingitana and pansies. Cattleya Trianse is in fair supply. Cypri- pedium insigne is over but a variety of other cypripediums and other orchids are available. Flowering plants con- tinue scarce. Club Meeting. Installation night of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club attracted 250 mem- bers and ladies January 21 and the meeting was full of vim and enthusiasm, a happy augury for the new year. Ees- olutions on the death of Andrew Masson were adopted and the new members elected. Announcement was made of the big union meeting of various agri- cultural and horticultural interests to be held February 11 to 14 in Horticul- tural hall and it was reported that on the day set apart for the club W. H. Elliott would lecture and various mem- bers make fine displays of plants and cut flowers. On motion of S. J. Goddard it was unanimously voted to hold a flower show February 18, the date of the next club meeting, and $50 was appropriated toward the premium list. Mr. Goddard said further contributions would be pro- cured and all seasonable plants and flowers would be scheduled, as Boston has had no flower show this winter. The proposed show is to be open to the pub- lic free of charge. All present voted to help make this a big show and the president appointed S. J. Goddard, Peter [Contlnned on pa^e 68.] PROVIDENCE.

A close examination of the advertise- ment clippings which come to our pro- motion bureau shows that a large num- ber of florists who use the advertising columns of their local newspapers have not incorporated our slogan, "Say It with Flowers," into their copy. We wonder whether they realize the value of a slogan or trade-mark which, through the expenditure of large sums of money, has been publicised. Only FOREIGN SECTION LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND DINGLEYSxtd.. Florists SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND WM. ARTINDALE & SON nmmt sEEPtiia ■ownTiia MiMCHESTEIi, ENGLAID DINGLEYS,Ltd.. Florists the other day a discussion was reported in a prominent publication as to the probable value, from the sales stand- point, of the well known mark applied to certain syndicated productions of California citrus fruit, "Sunkist." The most conservative estimate, as evolved from the discussion, was $1,000,>-. 000, while many placed the valuation at amounts nearer the $10,000,000 mark. Why? Because this mark has been thoroughly impressed upon the public mind and thus has become an invest- ment of inventorial value. Our committees last year spent nearly $50,000 to establish in the same way our slogan, "Say It with Flowers." Without the slightest doubt this slogan was driven home with force greatly in excess of what our really small invest- ment might have been expected to gen- erate. This year our campaign fund will not only maintain the impression created last year, but at least double the force. Yet we find florists advertising liber- ally in the newspapers who are not using the slogan which has cost so much to publicise and has proved so effective, which they are privileged to use with- out cost, although we do recommend that they use the uniform script, as fur- nished in the electrotyped headlines our promotion bureau supplies at prices CHICAGO DSTBOIT Central Floral Co.

We are sure the florists who neglect to use the slogan do not realize their loss by the omission. The more the pub- lic sees of it the better it is for our business. It focuses public attention upon an important reason for buying fiowers, the expression of sentiment. And who shall say that this reason is not the keystone in the foundation of the retail florists' business? We have a folder describing a series of little aids to a direct drawing down of benefits from our advertisements in thirty-three magazines and shall be glad to mail a copy to anyone on request. Make Up the Fiind Now. Our 1919 fund is mounting, but ought to mount faster. The committees have been seriously handicapped in their plans for magazine publicity through uncertainty as to the funds at their dis- posal. Magazine space, in many in- stances, must be booked months in ad- vance and the committees could hardly be expected to incur responsibility themselves, although, as a matter of fact, in their faith they have done it. Florists who have not subscribed can help the campaign work greatly by mak- ing early subscriptions. We cannot do much in the dog days, but much can be done now and in the fall.

Prices con- tinue firm, however. The demand for out-of-town shipments is light. Mild, springlike weather has been the rule for the last ten days and has made stock more plentiful.

FLORAL DEPARTMENT OPEN DAY AND JNIGHT Members Florists' Telearraph Delivery Association is in splendid condition and is offered at good figures. Most of the stock ar- riving is in medium and long grades. Ophelia, Sunburst, September Morn, Russell, Maryland and the Wards sell best. Red varieties, such as Francis Scott Key, Hoosier Beauty and Rich- mond, are in fair supply, but the col- ored roses are not in demand at this time. Carnations, of which the supply was heavier, dropped slightly in price this week, but are picking up again. Red carnations are plentiful, but there is small demand for them. Orchids are not moving rapidly. A good supply of bulbous stock is arriving, which con- sists chiefly of Paper White narcissi and freesias. Good jonquils, Romans and tulips are seen, but the supply is limited. There are few calendulas. There does not appear to be any life in the violet trade this season. The de- mand is pitifully small.

Weather conditions have been un- favorable in this section for the last three weeks, with cloudy skies the rule. However, temperatures have been mild; in fact, the mercury has not been down to the freezing point since the first of the year. Stock is scarce and there has been a great demand for everything. Carna- tions are selling at from 4 cents to 6 cents and are scarce. Roses still are high, ranging from 6 cents to 30 cents. Paper White narcissi are bringing 6 cents on the market and we are dispos- ing of them even at this high figure. Sweet peas are becoming more plentiful and the price range is from $1.50 to $2 per hundred. Various Notes. Weddings and social affairs are com- ing into their own again, as shown by reports of orders for decorations last week. John Bath had a nice decoration for the Fine Arts Society at the Fon- tenelle this week. Lee L. Larmon had a large decoration for the Cadillac Motor Co., for which he used palms and baskets of flowers. Frank Swanson, of the South Side Flo- rists, reports wedding decorations last week which he says reminded him of old times. Oscar Herman, of Council Bluffs, is short of stock, but has a good crop com- ing on and expects to be cutting a num- ber of roses within the next two weeks. The J. F.

Miss Gussie Malloy, who has been visiting relatives in the east for the last six months, has returned and is back at work at Grimm & Gorly's Washing- ton avenue store. The sympathy of the trade is extended to Alexander Waldbart, whose son Eich- ard died January 20 at the age of 28 years, leaving a wife and two sons.

The Maryland Florists is the name of a concern which will open its doors February 1 at Boyle and Maryland ave- nues. This is the former location of a prominent west end flower shop. The new establishment will be under the di- rection of Messrs. Schaeffer and Etietz. Pierre Schneider, of Webster Groves, and W. J. Edwards, of Kirkwood, are cutting freesias of fine quality. The next meeting of the Florists' Club will be held at C. A. Kuehn's wholesale house, 1312 Pine street, the afternoon of February 13. The trustees are planning for a carnation exhibition of new and old varieties. The Kirkwood violet growers expect large crops for St. Valentine 's day. Bright days and cool nights of late have brought out these flowers and the wholesalers have had to cut the price considerably below the last quotations in order to dispose of the cut. Fred Seibel, former park gardener at Jefferson Barracks, has received honor- able discharge from the army and has bought the range of Fred. W. Pope, at 3307 Pennsylvania avenue, and is re- stocking the houses. Invitations have been issued for the victory banquet at the Planters' hotel February 5 and all arrangements have been completed by the committee in charge. Every florist in St. Louis and vicinity has been invited and a splen- did program will be provided, including 68 The Fbrists^ Review 7ANUARV 30. 1919. good speakers and entertainers and music for dancing.

Craig it was unanimously voted to send vigorous reso- lutions condemning the quarantine on plants and bulbs from abroad to C. S. Marlatt, D. F. Houston, and all senators and congressmen from Massachusetts, to supplement resolutions adopted by the club in February, 1918. William J. Stewart, a charter mem- ber of the club, and its first president, who has held continuous membership since its organization in 1887, was en- thusiastically elected to life member- ship. The treasurer's report showed a sub- stantial gain in assets for 1918. The secretary's report stated that seven members had died during the year and only twelve new members had been ad- mitted. Awards made at the various meetings totaled sixty-seven as against fifty in 1917. No less than forty mem- bers had joined some branch of the service during the war, two had been killed in action and a number of others wounded or gassed. The largest attend- ance in 1918 was 223, the smallest forty- nine, the average attendance 112. Prospects were bright for a large in- crease in membership and attendance during 1919. William H. Judd reported on the efficient work done by the execu- tive committee in 1918. Ofiicers were installed by Past-presi- dent William D. Davis as follows: President, A. K. Eogers; vice-president, C. P. Sweetser; secretary, W. N. Craig; treasurer, S. J. Goddard; executive com- mittee, James Wheeler, James Methven, W. H. Judd, W. H. Golby, H. H. Bartsch. President Rogers announced the follow- ing committees for 1919: Exhibits: W. H. Judd, chairman; Robert Cameron, Kenneth Finlayson, James Donald, James Methven, S. J. Goddard, William Downs, F. E. Palmer, Richard Calvert, A. E, Miles and W. C. Rust. Entertain- ment: George W. Hamer, chairman; John Richardson, John Miller, A. J. WoUrath, P. J. Farley, J. L. Russell, Duncan Finlayson and Frederick Cave. Welcome: J. F. Briry, chairman; A. F. Hills, R. E. Montgomery, Frank Mur- ray, W. J. Collins, Edward Rose. Following the regular business, an excellent entertainment was furnished by Miss Bessie Ferguson, Jeannette Shaw, Mary Stewart and Alice Dee, in fancy costume dances. Readings by Miss Linda A. Rogers and vocal selec- tions by Miss Lidderdale and Mr. Mur- ray all were vigorously encored. After the audience had joined in singing "The Star Spangled Banner," adjournment was made and a collation served, after which an excellent orchestra furnished music for dancing, which was enjoyed until midnight.

Mr. Butterworth is one who does not believe in any feeding for orchids. He has certainly worked up a splendid collection, which are a great credit to him.

They are now ready for business at their new stand. James Wheeler is having great suc- cess this season with Carnation Aviator and will plant it largely next season. Benora and Pink Delight are well grown by him. Matchless is the leading white, but will be planted less next season. Rosalia and Ward will both be given a trial another year. Neal E. Boyle, of Maiden, has a most promising sport from Stanley rose, which he is registering under the name of President Wilson. The flowers are of a vivid rose-pink color and are much more freely produced than those on Ophelia. The foliage is unusually fine. Mj-. Boyle planted out a small batch of own-root Stanleys. Compared with sev- eral benches of grafted plants, the own- root stock was weak. Killarney, White Killarney, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty are other sorts grown and all seemed to be in prime condition.

January weather has been highly fa- vorable to the mail order seed trade, and there is a general disposition to look on January increases as so much net gain. At last week's canners' convention the official action was in the direction of hip- hurrah encouragement to the industry to go ahead strong, but the individual opin- ion was less confidently optimistic and there was no rush to buy seeds. A. Henderson & C5o., Chicago, have bought the business, stock and contracts of Winterson's Seed Store, also of Chi- cago, and will combine and develop the two businesses at the address of the lat- ter, 166 North Wabash avenue. . An Oklahoma City editor urges the passage of a pure seed law by the legisla- ture now in session as a necessity to pro- tect the interest of the farmer, arguing that the principle which underlies pure food legislation applies equally to the sale of seeds. George Tegelaar, of Drevon-Tegelaar & Co., Ollioules, France, who married the daughter of a well known Chicago florist, and calls that city home, returned last week from an outing with Mrs. Tegelaar on the east coast of Florida. He is on his way to New York to open a permanent office for his firm. John Drevon, the French member of the firm, has just been released from a (Jerman prison; he was captured in 1914.

A bill to regulate the sale of seeds and requiring seed dealers to guarantee the quality of seeds was introduced in the senate of California a few days ago by Senator Rigdon. The measure would create a division of seed inspection un- der the jurisdiction of the state horticul- tural commissioners. Owen S. Trott, representing London garden and flower seedsmen, has been making a tour of the seed-growing dis- tricts of California. He says prac- tically all of Europe is now depending upon this state to supply the seeds that formerly came from Germany. The Fancher Creek Nurseries, Fresno, Cal., again have purchased the crop of walnuts from a certain large tree in the yard of Mrs. Bachel Lyman, at Yuba City, Cal., for use as seed for nursery stock. This tree is said to be one of the largest walnut trees in the state and is forty years old. M. M. babteldes seed CO. Lawrence Branch to Continue.

VICK'S FAMOIS ASTERS THREE GLORIOUS NEW VARIETIES Just at this time, the dawn of a new era of pe&ce, and just when the world has been released from the stress and terror of war and is ready to find fitting: expr' ssion for the joy and hope in beautiful flowers, we are very fortunate in beinsf able to offer three new varieties of Asters of exceptional merit. Never have we offered at any time three more attractive varieties than HEART OF FRANCE. SILVERY RQSE and PEERLESS YELLOW. These are just what every florist needs to make his offerings for the coming year most attractive and unique. Prepare to fill the demand for flowers, which has already been indicated by the splendid trade in carnations this past season, by having the best and most beautiful Asters ever produced in your market. It is the florist with the proper perspective who will take advantage of the op- portunities ahead, that will reap a rich reward and will beenabfed to serve hisfellowmen in a very real fashion. Plan to make this year the best and brightest ever experienced. We have introduced more new distinct varieties of Asters than all other American Seedsmen combined. We are now the largest growers of high- grade Asters in the world. HEART OF FRANCE ASTER The most glorious rich, red aster ever introduced. All others have somber shades of blue or too much yellow in the color pigments. Heart of France opens red as the purest ruby, deepens with age and retains its remarkable beauty to the very end. The petals appear strikingly changeable, showing now a glow and sheen quite unique, now a soft warm velvety texture. In any light, natural or artificial, Heart of France is startlingly beautiful and will command instant ad- miration. The flowers are large and full with never a trace of hollow center. The plants are of branching type and very robust habit. The stems are long and strong and have very few laterals. The plants begin to bloom (luite early in the season and open fully with the mid-season varieties. They retain their bril- liancy and luster for a longer period than almost any other color. This will be a tip-top variety for florists as well as home gardeners, for the reason that the flowei-s and stems are so large and vigorous and their shipping and long keeping qualities are such as to make it a win- ner for almost any pur- pose. Heart of France will surely supplant all other reds and near-reds of either branching or upright types because of its marvelous beauty and other satisfactory charac- teristics. In packets only 25c: 2 for 40c. HEART OF FRANCE ASTER ^ JANUAUY 30, 1919. The Florists' Review 75 VICK*S SILVERY ROSE ASTER Here is another robust, long stemmed, large flower- ing new variety. Every petal is a combination of deep lilac rose, almost cerise, very delicately threaded with white. Do not get the impression that this is a striped variety. The threads are so tiny as to give the petals a silvery sheen. Even the slightest change in light will shade the petals from a rich glowing rosy cerise to a silvery rose. The plants are very vigorous. The stems are unusually long and the flowers very large. All these distinctive and excellent qualities are sure to make Vick's Silvery Eose very popular with the cut flower trade. In packets only 25c, 2 for 40c. VICK'S PEERLESS YELLOW ASTER The most satisfactory yellow yet produced. Every flower will come a beautiful chrysanthemum yellow. The flowers are remarkably full and ball shaped, with centers deeply covered with curled and twisted florets. The plants are of branching type and very vigorous. It is not unusual to find a plant with from twenty to thirty good flowering stems sufficiently long and with flowers of ample size for extra fancy cut flower purposes. So numerous and large are the flowers that the plants are completely covered like a golden dome. It is certainly a winner in its class and color. In packets only 25c, 2 for 40c.

Caution — The highly poisonous nature of cor- rosive sublimate (mercuric chloride) should be kept in mind throughout the entire process of seed treatment. In practice the following procedure has been found advisable and is recom- mended by the U. S. Department of Agriculture: In order to dissolve the mercuric chloride rapidly, an equal quan- tity of ammonium chloride should be used. Purchase one pound each of mer- curic chloride and ammonium chloride for every 500 pounds of seeds to be treated. Make up a concentrated stock solution of a strength of one to twenty by dissolving one pound of each in two and one-lialf gallons of water. This stock solution is diluted to one to 1,000 by adding two quarts to twenty-four and one-half gallons of water. Stir thor- oughly before using. Metal containers can not be used for the mercuric chloride solution. Place the seeds in loosely woven bags, fifty pounds in each. The bags should not be over three-quarters full, to allow for swelling of the seeds and to facili- tate stirring. Immerse the bag of seeds in twenty-five gallons of the one to 1,000 bichloride solution and agitate vigor- ously to secure thorough wetting of the seeds. Remove the bag promptly at the end of five minutes and immerse at once in running water and stir thoroughly. Wash about fifteen minutes. Dry the seeds as rapidly as possible. Forced drying by an air blast is much to be de- sired. The bichloride solution may be used only twice, since its strength is reduced by use. Make up a fresh dilution from Gladioli ItalHa. 1i-w.>P Per 1000 Amerios $15.00 $18.00 AuBrusta 16.00 18.00 Baron Hulot 18.00 20.00 BrenohleyenBla 12.00 15.00 Craokerlack 15.00 18.00 Kmprees of India 18.00 20.00 HaUey 15.00 18.00 Mrs. Francis Kingr 15.00 18.00 Mrs. Frank Pendleton.... 30.00 35.00 Niaanra 25.00 30.00 Panama 25.00 30.00 Pink Perfection 35.00 40.00 Prlnceps 18.00 20.00 Scbwaben 35.00 40.00 Wintzer's General Mix- ture 8.00 10.00 N.

The exporters in the horticultural trades in England, France, Belgium and Hol- land all are taking action to bring the American quarantine to the attention of their respective governments. Interesting international developments seem likely to ensue. It develops that the Dutch steamer, Botterdam, one of the largest and newest afloat, which was laid up in 1916 because its owners would not risk it on the sub- marine-infested sea, on its first trip across is bringing, in addition to a quantity of Dutch nursery stock and gladiolus bulbs, a number of American troops, taken on at Brest. Assemblyman Frank Grass, of Stur- geon Bay, Wis., who exports forestry seeds collected from timber areas of Wisconsin and adjoining states, numbered among his clientele one William Hohenzollern, late of Potsdam, Prussia. Just what the indebtedness of this customer is Mr. Grass does not state, nor what he considers the prospects of settlement. But he would like to collect $500 from the estate of the late Nicholas Bomanoff, another of his patrons, for consignments of seeds de- livered before the war to the estates of the czar in Russia. The Fruitland Nurseries and the land- scape engineering business of the P. J. Berckmans Co., located in the environs of Augusta, Ga., have been purchased by Sigmund Tarnok, who also has leased the nursery lands belonging to R. C, L. A. and P. J. A. Berckmans, with the option of buying. The charter of the first-named concern expired by limita- tion March 13, 1918, and the stockhold- ers decided not to ask for a renewal but to close up the affairs of the cor- poration. This action was not due to business embarrassments, as the com- pany has enjoyed excellent success throughout the half century of its exist- ence. Mr. Tarnok is a native of Swit- zerland and has been in the United States five years. He is well qualified both by education and experience for the undertaking upon which he enters and he will retain the entire office and field force of employees to continue the business. L. A. and P. J. A. Berckmans have been retained by several of the larger fruit growing concerns in the south as consulting horticulturists. The sale does not affect the interests of Berckmans Bros., conducting orchards at Mayfield, Ga. ROSE STOCK Be independent. Grow your own ROSE STOCKS for buddioR or graftine.

"We find the demand much greater than the present supply of fruit trees and berry plants and all first-class fruit trees, especially apple and peach trees, doubtless will be cleaned up before the end of the coming spring season," vfrites J. E. Stoner, proprietor of the Westminster Nursery, Westminster, Md. "On ornamental shade trees and shrubbery there is a good demand, but on most items the supply will equal the demand. Norway maple is in stronger demand than some others, such as horse chestnut, Lombardy poplar, oriental planes, etc. "On shrubs there is a strong demand. Shrubs, in fact, show an increased de- mand now that the war is over, yet there seems to be a surplus on California privet, Berberis Thunbergii, Spiraea Van Houttei, althaeas and Deutzia Pride of Rochester.

It was the twenty-ninth annual meet- ing and members were present from fourteen states, representing forty-nine nursery firms. The meeting was one of the most interesting held in years and the visiting members went away well satisfied with the work accomplished. A resolution was adopted to the effect that nurserymen should discourage the practice of replacing trees that do not grow. The association also went on record as being opposed to the practice of certain newspapers of accepting ad- vertisements of low-grade nursery stock at killing prices, and also the practice of some newspapers of offering nursery stock free to secure subscriptions.

January business has been better than in other years. A large amount of stock comes in, but is readily taken up. Eas- ter lilies and callas are coming in good supply and orchids are conspicuous in window displays. Small flowers also are becoming plen- tiful, after a long period of shortage. Good stevia is to be had. Sweet peas, calendulas, freesias, myosotis, California and home-grown violets are available. There is a good collection of pot plants, which includes cyclamens, freesias, Primula malacoides, narcissi, both yel- low and white; cinerarias, heather, tu- lips and jonquils. Various Notes. One of the prettiest flower shops in Denver is the new one at 935 Fifteenth street, conducted bv the Central Flo- ral Co. O. E. Sandberg, the Broadway flo- rist, says trade keeps up unusually well at his place. C. F. Maler added considerably to his already large collection of orchids by purchasing the entire collection of Wil- liam Horlacher, consisting of 450 plants. This makes Mr. Maler one of the larg- est orchid growers in this section. Charles F, Edgar, formerly with the Alpha Floral Co.. is traveling for the McCallum Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa. Charles Fohn was in town last week calling on his many friends in the trade. Ben Boldt brought in the first tulips and jonquils the other day. He also has a splendid lot of heather in 5 and 6-inch pots. E. 8.

CHRISTMAS GOLD Scored 90 Points by the Chrysanthemum Society of America, December 14, 1917 Here is the most profitable Pompon to date A seedling of the widely grown and very popular Baby Pompon, the clear, deep golden yellow of its regu- larly formed little blooms makes a brilliant exhibit. The habit of growth is that of the parent variety, but its greatest merit is that its season is December 15 to 20, after practically all other pompons are past. It will coin money for everyone who has it at Christmas. What good judges say of it: The box of flower.s of Christmas Gold pompon came safely and I would be glad to get 500 rooted cuttings of this variety, and wofild be willing to pay $30.00 per hundred for same. Should you decide to put Christmas Gold on the market this spring, please advise whether you can let me have the number men- tioned, payment to be made before shipment of cuttings. — Charles M. Weaver, Ronks, Pa., December 19, 1918. The box of Christmas Gold pompon mum came to hand in good shape. It is a splendid flower and in my opinion a won- derful flower to have through the whole month of Pecember and especially at Christmas. Wish we had had a thousand bunches of It this season at Christmas time. I hope you will see your way to grow a big stock and sell a lot of it to our Detroit growers, so we will have it to sell in our Detroit retail stores next Christmas. — E. \. Fetters, Detroit, Mich., January 3, 1.919. The yellow pompon chrysanthemum, Christmas Gold, reached us December 19 in perfect condition. To our mind the sale of this flower at Christmas would be limited only by the supply to be had. It has remarkable keeping qualities and at this date, January 4, it is still in a fairly good condition. We feel that you have a good thing. — Gade Bros. Co., Washington, D. C, January 4, 1919. Your late blooming pompon, Christmas Gold, was received December 19. Half the bunch we kept in our icebox and the other half I took home with me. Those I took home remained in good condition until December 26, and those in the icebox until December 28, when the flowers were still good, but the foliage had shriveled. The variety, in my opinion, is a very good one for working up, not only for Christmas, but all through Decemljer, when there is a scarcity of the smaller yellow flowers. Christmas (Jold seems to be a good shipper; it reached us In perfect con- dition.—Max Schllng, New York, December 10, 1919. Young stock will be in great demand after next season, when its merit has become known to the growers.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Tlie Market. Market conditions during the week have been what might be termed pleas- ant. The amount of stock arriving has been just enough to satisfy require- ments. Prices have been good and steady, the only exception being in white carnations, but even these move at good prices. More roses of the short grades could be used, but the market does not miss them much as long as there is a good supply of carnations, lilies and sweet peas. This does not mean that sweet peas are plentiful. They are not in sufficient supply, but usually a bunch of them will take the place of a dozen roses in a design or corsage. Judging by the shipments ar- riving, this flower is far short of last year's supply. Expectations are, how- ever, that the supply will improve soon from late plantings. Tulips have put in an appearance, but most of them are short-stemmed. Various Notes. Oliver Klingenmeier, of the William P. Kasting Co., has been ill for several days. He now is reported recovering rapidly. Charles J. Hewson, who for many years conducted a carnation range on Abbott road, passed away January 17. The cause of his death was an attack of influenza. Burial took place from the residence, 1639 Abbott road, January 18. He is survived by his wife. Charles Eeichert left January 23 for New York, where he will undertake the task of arranging flowers in the new Hotel Pennsylvania. Mr. Eeichert has had thorough preparation for his new situation and his friends wish him suc- cess and happiness. It is reported that the local orders for this hotel exceed $1,000. A thief broke two panes of glass in L. H. Neubeck's greenhouses on Main street January 20, stole all the cut flow- ers in the icebox, opened the rear door and made his exit. F. J. Baum, Kingsley street, has a fine supply of Dutch hyacinths in flow- er. For the Easter market several hun- dred roses are being brought in. F. P. A.

The cut of car- nations has dropped off considerably and, if it were not for the springlike weather of the last few weeks, the shortage would have been much more marked. The demand for cut flowers is not so active as it might be, but fu- neral work keeps stock cleaned up. After the morning rush at the wholesale mar- ket, narcissi are the only flowers left, Easter and calla lilies continue scarce. A few sweet peas are arriving. Daf- fodils are beginning to appear. Special and medium grades of American Beauty roses continue on the short side. Single and double violets are available in larger supply than the market absorbs. Calendulas, myosotis, wallflowers and other novelties clear readily. Various Notes. A. Barber has been slightly ill during the week. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Pentecost are spending the winter in St. Petersburg, Fla. W. F. B. NEWARK, N. J. Business continues good, though flow- ers are not plentiful and prices remain high. But profits on sales at times are less than normal, because the public will not purchase flowers when prices are advanced beyond certain figures. Plants and ferns are more reasonable in price and there are therefore larger profits in these lines. Many of the flo- rists try to interest prospective pur- chasers in plants, if they hesitate be- cause of the prices asked for flowers. As a result the sale of plants has been stimulated. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the S. A. Rogers Co., which is taking over the interests of the S. A. Rogers Nursery Co., located at 453 Broad street. The authorized capital is $40,000. The purchase price of the nurseries is $19,000. Incorporators are Walter E. Pratt, of Liberty Corners, N. .T., Samuel A. Rogers and G. Tracy Pierson, both of East Orange. George Penek, of Broad street, re- ports business good in spite of the high prices. R. B. M. J ACSBS %VA^ GRECNMaUSCS HOTBED SASH MATIIHAL AND ttLASS S. JACOBS * SONS IMS-lMl niuhlng Are..

Greenhonse Heating Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood.

Enclosed is a sketch of our range. You will note that it is located in north- ern Mississippi. Please tell us how to pipe it for steam, stating the right size of the main return to the boiler, the height and general location of the flow pipes, the size of trap that should be used, etc. We have a fire-box, high- pressure boiler, of sixty horsepower. A. F. C— Miss. From the accompanying sketch we learn that there are seven houses, of the following sizes, beginning at the south side of the range: Three houses 18x125, one house 35x125, one 37x125, one 20x 100 and one 35x80. Except on the north side of the house 35x80, where there are also three feet of glass, and on the west end of the three north houses, where there is a potting shed, there is a solid board wall four feet high on the exposed sides and ends of the houses. The only exception to this is at the east end of the third house from the south, where the boiler house is located. We are not certain as to how low an outdoor temperature must be planned for in northern Mississippi, but judge that about 10 degrees above zero will ordinarily be a minimum temperature, although the mercury may occasionally drop a few degrees lower. Nothing is stated regarding the temperatures at which the houses are to be kept, but we shall consider, in making an estimate of the radiation, that a temperature of 60 degrees is desired, indicating also the number of return pipes that must be omitted in case 50 degrees will suf- fice. The boiler mentioned will answer well for heating the range; in fact, a 50-hor8epower boiler would be amply large. Although all of the houses are con- nected, we would suggest the use of two main supply and return pipes, using one for the three houses that are eighteen feet wide and the other for the remain- ing houses. For the three south houses we would take off a 3-inch flow at the boiler. Carrying it into the north one of the three houses, which is nearest the boil- er, we would take off a 2-inch flow and then reduce to 2%-inch. Carry this into the middle house of the three, and again take off a 2-inch suppljr pipe for this house. Again redupe to 2-inch and carry this into the first (south) house, where it should be used as a flow. Each house in the south group has now been supplied with a 2-inch main. These mains should be carried through to the west end of the houses and should be supported a foot or two below the ridge. If for any reason this location is not desirable, the 2-inch mains may be divided and two l^^-inch flows used in each house. These may be carried a a D a a D o D a a a D D D o a a a a n D D D D a a a a a a a D O D a D D D a a D D D a d D D D O D D a a a o a 0 a D The Reward of Merit aaDaaaaaaaaaoaaaaaDDaaaoaa D D D D D D a a a D a a _i D D a D a D a a Q a o a a a D a a D D O a a a D a D D D O a D D D D D D D D D D a D a D D The White House Greenhouses— U.

Over forty greenhouses are devoted to the growing of cut flowers, orchids, stove plants, tropical and decorative stock, and all bedding and ornamental plants for the U. S.

For the coils we would use five 114 -inch returns in each house, unless the south wall of the south house is exposed or of light construction, in which case an additional pipe may be placed on the south wall. The returns may be arranged on the walls in two coils of two or three pipes each, unless bottom heat is desired under raised benches, in which case two pipes may be placed under each bench. Connect each coil with the return main at the east end of the houses, using a 1^4 -inch pipe to carry the drip from the first house and increasing to 1%-inch after the second house has been connected. For the other four houses, start at the boiler with a 4-inch main, and after entering the first house take off a 2%- inch supply pipe for that house.

In the house 20x100 use seven 1%-inch returns and place thirteen re- turns in the north house. As the main return from this part of the range, use a 1%-inch pipe for the drip from the north house and enlarge it to l^^-inch before connecting the third house. After reaching the boiler house, the two returns may be united and connected with the steam trap. The steam traps listed in our advertis- ing columns are among the best that are made. Select one that will handle the water from 3,500 square feet of radiation. The radiation that has been suggested for 60 degrees is as follows: For each of the 18-foot houses, one 2-inch flow or two 1%-inch flows and five or six 1^-ineh returns; for 50 degrees use one or two less returns. For the long 35- foot house, two 2-inch flows and nine or ten 1%,-inch returns; for 50 degrees use two or three less returns. For the 37- foot house, two 1%-inch flows (in addi- tion to the 3-inch main) and eight or nine 1^4 -inch returns; for 50 degrees use two or three less returns. For the 20-foot house, seven 1*4 -inch returns; for 50 degrees use one less return. For the house 35x80, thirteen 1'4-inch re- turns; for 50 degrees use two less re- turns. All of the heating pipes, both flows and returns, should be given a slight fall, about one inch in twenty feet be- ing sufficient for the flows and one inch in fifteen feet for the returns. There should be an automatic air valve near the lower end of each coil. To shut off and regulate the heat in the different houses, there should not only be shut- off valves near where the flows and re- turns connect with each of the coils, but one-half of the pipes in each coil should have valves at both ends.

Cokely have purchased, from the Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa., that part of the Baur business which was connected with the manufacture and sale of carnation menders, the pliers and staples. The business will be removed to Scranton and consoli- dated with the Cokely interests. The Messrs. Cokely state that the manufac- turing end of the business was in such shape that it was necessary for them to have the machining reequipped, but that they expect to push the department much harder than it ever has been pushed, even before the death of A.

Flowers have been in demand of late for weddings, table decorations, social affairs and. counter trade, as wrell as for funeral work. The supply of roses is inadequate, especially in the high-grade stock. Shawyer, Ophelia and the Eil- larneys are the most plentiful. Carna- tions are abundant and prices have dropped accordingly. There is a fine supply of bulbous stock, includinig Dutch hyacinths and tulips, which made their first appear- ance of the season last week. Crocus plants in the retail flower shops mark the approach of spring. Paper White narcissi and freesias are in excellent supply. Lily of the valley is scarce. Orchids are in heavy crop and prices are lower. Sweet peas are fine. Calla and Easter lilies clear daily. Violets move fairly well. Various Notes. E. W. Doswell's car was wrecked when it collided with two other auto- mobiles in the downtown section last week. Mrs. Doswell sustained painful injuries, although her condition is not regarded as serious. The damage to the machine was covered by accident insur- ance. Another auto accident resulted in heavy loss a week ago, when the de- livery car of W, J. & M. S. Vesey was demolished. Luckily, the driver was not seriously hurt. No insurance was car- ried on the car. The firm has just pur- chased a new delivery auto to replace the one that was wrecked. Henry Freese has recoveyed from a recent severe illness and is again able to be at the store of the Freese Floral Co., of which he is manager. Miss Mar- garet Sturm, of the same firm, is also again at her post following several weeks' absence on account of an opera- tion for appendicitis. B. F. B.

ROSES. 20,000 1-yr. old Wax Rose stock for grafting or budding. This stock is hardier than Manetti and far superior to it, so say some of the best rose growers in the U. S.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE TRADE: Baur Carnation Clips and Plyers We have purchased the sole patent rights and title of The Baur Carnation Clips and Plyers, and will continue the manufacture and distribution of same. We are having new machinery installed for manufacturing the clips, and a large stock of plyers are being manufactured. In the course of about three weeks we expect to be able to take care of all orders, and can assure the trade from then on there will be no delay in delivering clips or furnishing repaired plyers to replace those i-eturned defective. Since the death of Mr. A. J. Baur, the business has not received proper attention, due to the fact that he gave the clip and plyer business his iwrsonal attention, and at the time of his death there was no one prepared to manufacture the clip and carry out the various details of this particular business. We assure any and all customers that just as soon as we get things running, their orders for clips and plyers will be immediately filled, and all defective i>lyers immediately repaired and returned. We only ask you to have a little patience, and assure you we have gone to great ex- pense to get the business running quickly and satisfactorily. Place your orders at once, with us or with your jobber B. E. & J. T. COKELY, 201 n. 7th Ave., Scranton, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. ?

For a postage stamp, a sheet of G paper, an envelope and ONE MINUTE'S time, you J[ can have before you a blue print, specifications and U estimate of any kind of an AGMCO plant you want. ■■ Q I n A B M C a t Q I D ft ft Q I Q ft Q I Q ft Q I Q ft A B M C D ft s D I Q ¥ I Q ¥ D I Q A B n B a ft Q I D ft Suppose you don't know exactly what you want. If you have a real idea, an AGMCO estimate will give you something to tie to— something to build on. For it takes away the visionary, unreal part of your planning and makes it a Flesh-and-BIood, Dead-in- Earnest planning, not for a substitute, but for a "surenough" greenhouse. Grover Cleveland said: "Opportunity and accom- plishment are two distant relations." Seeing the chance and seizing it are different matters. So go to it — be a force in your field, brush aside prej- udice, taboo tradition, STAND FOR ENLIGHT- ENMENT.
